Sunak at AUKUS: Will PM’s extra £5bn defence spend be sufficient?
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pledged £5 billion for defence over the next two years as the UK Government sets out its 2023 Integrated Review.
Some £3 billion will go towards defence nuclear enterprises, including the development of nuclear-powered submarines for Australia.
The PM has travelled to San Diego for talks with US President Joe Biden and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for the first ever AUKUS Summit.
One Conservative MP has responded to Mr Sunak’s announcement saying Russia and China will be “breathing a sigh of relief”.

US President Donald Trump has launched “Project Homecoming,” a voluntary deportation initiative offering free flights to undocumented migrants choosing to self-deport. Trump announced the program via video, introducing a CBP Home app to help migrants book flights. Those refusing to leave face steep penalties — jail, fines, and asset seizures. The controversial move is aimed at slashing immigration costs and reversing Biden-era immigration policies. Trump claims it will save the US trillions. Critics argue it could lead to human rights violations. The plan has already triggered nationwide debate.

In a 6–3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trump’s controversial ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The ruling allows the Pentagon to discharge troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria and reject new enlistees unless they serve in their birth Sex and forego transitioning. This reversal follows Trump’s January executive order and strikes down protections restored during Biden's tenure. The policy has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates, reigniting debates on civil rights, military readiness, and the limits of executive power under the Constitution.

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression.

Anthony Albanese secured a second term as Australian Prime Minister, a feat unseen in two decades, with his Labor Party potentially increasing its majority... IndiaTimes
After shaping Canada’s recent election outcome, Donald Trump’s polarizing presence now casts a long shadow over Australia’s federal vote. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appears to be benefiting from an anti-Trump sentiment, with his firm stance and centrist appeal gaining traction as Australians head to the polls. As opposition leader Peter Dutton struggles to counter Labour’s narrative, the “Trump effect” may once again sway a foreign election—this time, Down Under.
