Sir Ed Davey has called for the temporary nationalisation of Thames Water as he reacted to the latest figures in the ongoing sewage crisis. Mr Davey also criticised the government's handling of the situation, saying Labour needs to "get its act together". It comes as a watchdog has revealed the number of serious water pollution incidents increased by 60 per cent last year.

Sir Ed Davey accused Tories of letting down Afghans who supported British forces and protecting its ministers. It comes as a super-injunction blocking reporting about the “horrific” leak of data was lifted. The Ministry of Defence only became aware of the breach when excerpts from the dataset were posted anonymously on a Facebook group in August 2023, and a super-injunction was granted at the High Court in an attempt to prevent the Taliban from finding out about the leak.

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).

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty.
The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil.
Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit.

Russia has accused Ukraine of launching over 500 chemical attacks since the war began, including toxic drone strikes and gas container drops across the frontlines. General Rtishev alleges Ukraine uses chemical agents like chloroacetophenone and chloropicrin in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Moscow claims Kyiv is plotting a chemical leak at an ammonia facility to frame Russia for an environmental disaster. These escalating accusations mark a new, dangerous front in the conflict, raising international concerns over chemical warfare.

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured.
Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success.
Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended.

On the night of July 17–18, Russia launched a deadly wave of attacks across Ukraine, striking the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts with drones and other weapons. At least two civilians were killed and 11 injured in the Kamianske district of Dnipropetrovsk, where homes, a school, a shop, and cars were damaged. In Zaporizhzhia, Shahed drones ignited fires in non-residential buildings, injuring a 79-year-old man.

In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Aerospace Forces have struck two key Ukrainian military sites in coordinated aerial attacks. A devastating FAB-1500 high-explosive bomb targeted a temporary deployment area of Ukraine’s elite 25th Separate Airborne Brigade near Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, reportedly causing massive destruction. Simultaneously, a light air-to-surface guided missile precisely hit the UAV command post of the 39th Separate Coastal Defence Brigade near Olgovka in the Kherson region.
These attacks, seen as a tactical move by Russia to weaken Ukrainian battlefield coordination, come amid intensifying clashes in the east and south. The dual strike raises serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to secure critical infrastructure and battlefield intelligence hubs. With the use of heavy aerial ordnance and advanced missile targeting, Russia is seemingly ramping up precision strikes to paralyze Ukraine's operational depth. No official casualty figures have been released yet, but the scale of the attacks indicates a significant blow to Ukrainian forces.

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”
