Tories: UK must stand ready with Europe to defend Ukraine
Conservative shadow cabinet minister Alicia Kearns says the UK “must be ready to stand on our own two feet with Europe to defend Ukraine”, as it is “looking more likely that Trump is turning his focus to China”.
Sir Ed Davey says he has written to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer setting out five principles for the reform of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The Liberal Democrat leader says the Conservatives left the SEND system as a “total disaster”, and that parents “have no clarity” over the current government’s proposed reforms. Report by Jonesia.

The Conservatives’ Chris Philp says he has “no faith whatsoever” in the government’s “one in, one out” illegal migrant deal with France, describing it as a “gimmick”. The shadow home secretary adds the agreement “won’t be a deterrent at all.” Report by Jonesia. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov.
The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes.
