Biden allows Kyiv to begin firing US rockets deep into Russia - as Starmer calls on allies to 'double down' on support
Monday, 18 November 2024 Joe Biden has authorised Ukraine to begin firing US-supplied rockets deep into Russia - as Sir Keir Starmer prepares to push for "further support" for Kyiv at the G20 summit.
Biden was expected to press Xi to use his leverage over Kim Jong Un to dissuade North Korea from further deepening its support for Russia's war in Ukraine but there were no reports any such talks took place.
Sir Keir Starmer says a stabilised economy has allowed the government to reinstate most winter fuel payments. Nine million pensioners in England and Wales will now receive support this winter after a £1.25bn U-turn. The Prime Minister denied the move was a response to backlash, insisting it followed a reassessment of the country’s financial position. Report by Covellm.

The Government has pledged £5 million for a renovation project in memory of the three young girls murdered in Southport. Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner met the parents of Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar and Bebe King in Downing Street on Tuesday. The Town Hall gardens in Southport will be renovated in their memory, a project the families have said is “rooted in love, resilience and unity”. Report by Covellm.

Sir Keir Starmer promised there would be no more “dithering” about backing nuclear power as the Government committed to the Sizewell C plant. The prime minister said the “change of mindset” would help free the UK from reliance on international fossil fuel markets and prevent price spikes such as those in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Speaking at a college in Ipswich, Sir Keir said: “No more dithering, no more delay, no more being unclear about what we’re going to do, a real statement of intent as we go forward.” Report by Covellm.

Kemi Badenoch welcomed the winter fuel payment U-turn, insisting it should have happened sooner. Speaking on Monday, the Conservative party leader said: "I'm glad the government has finally done this but what took them so long? I asked Keir Starmer six times at the despatch box at PMQ's why he was doing this and that he needed to reverse it."

Sir Keir Starmer welcomed Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte to Downing Street on Monday as pressure continues to mount on the Prime Minister to hike defence spending.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a TV interview that the Trump administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles, originally approved under Biden, away from Ukraine to the Middle East. Zelensky said Ukraine relied on these precision-guided weapons to counter Shaheed drone strikes, including a record 472 drones on June 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited urgency but skipped a major Ukraine meeting. Trump later resumed aid after Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire, sparking backlash over his stance to “let the war continue.”

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.

Joe Biden has broken his silence following Donald Trump's renewed criticism over his use of an autopen to sign executive orders. During a recent Oval Office ceremony, Trump mocked Biden, questioning the legality of using the signature machine. Now, House Republicans are planning a formal investigation. In a sharp rebuttal, Biden dismissed the allegations, stating, “I made the decisions about pardons, executive orders, legislation. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.” The controversy revives questions about presidential protocol and Trump’s persistent attacks on his predecessor.

In the early hours of June 10, Russian forces unleashed a devastating barrage of ballistic missiles and attack drones on Kyiv and Odesa. Explosions ripped through Shevchenkivskyi and Obolonskyi districts, with cars and school grounds damaged, while air defenses scrambled to intercept incoming threats. Two men were killed and at least twelve civilians wounded—including shock victims—and a maternity hospital in Odesa sustained significant damage. Kyiv’s mayor and emergency services race against time amidst new waves of drones, urging residents to remain in shelters as Ukraine’s defenders minimize further tragedy.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the UK of playing a direct role in Ukraine’s alleged terrorist attacks inside Russia. Speaking at the 'Forum of the Future 2050' in Moscow, Lavrov said Ukraine would be “helpless” without British assistance, citing deadly sabotage incidents and coordinated drone strikes across Russian territory. Lavrov claimed the U.S. has pulled back, leaving Britain “100%” involved. The UK has declined to comment on operational matters, while Moscow’s ambassador to London also pointed to UK-supplied geospatial data as key to recent attacks.
