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.

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.

Poles on Nawrocki and Tusk's cooperation: 'two different worlds'

Karol Nawrocki has been elected President of Poland after a narrow second-round win over liberal, pro-EU rival Rafal Trzaskowski. A conservative nationalist and EU skeptic, Nawrocki’s victory signals a deepening ideological rift in Polish politics and a blow to pro-European Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Nawrocki holds strong veto power, potentially blocking Tusk’s progressive reforms on EU alignment and abortion rights. His presidency, rooted in historical revisionism, may shift Poland further from Brussels—and reshape its national identity in the process.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk sparked controversy by stating Poland aims to make "big money" from Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. Emphasizing both humanitarian aid and economic opportunity, Tusk said Poland seeks significant profits through a logistics hub supporting Ukraine’s rebuilding, potentially worth hundreds of billions. He defended the stance as "honest," referencing past missed opportunities like Iraq’s reconstruction. His remarks come amid EU discussions on using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s recovery, drawing sharp criticism from Moscow.

Emperor penguins, the largest of their kind, are facing a growing threat as shrinking sea ice puts their future at risk. The birds rely on stable ice for up to eight months to raise their chicks, but as the Southern Ocean warms, that vital platform is melting too quickly. Scientists are alarmed by satellite data, which shows a sharp decline in colony numbers, with some areas disappearing twice as fast as predicted just seven years ago. Storms, changing weather and predators like orca whales are also contributing to their decline. Report by Covellm.
