A coalition of states has filed a lawsuit seeking a review of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision to grant waivers to California that allows the state to ban new diesel-powered heavy-duty truck sales in 2035. Iowa’s Attorney General Brenna Bird led the group of 19 states that filed the legal action on June 5 in the Washington, D.C. appeals court. The states are asking the court for a review of the EPA’s final action in April to grant the California Air Resource Board two waivers to set stricter emissions rules than the federal Clean Air Act allows, clearing a path for…

Andy Murray said he did not know whether play would go ahead at the Nottingham Open after the “heartbreaking” incident in the city centre overnight. Three people were killed and another three were in hospital after an attack in the early hours of the morning, with much of the local area cordoned off. Play did go ahead as planned and Murray, fresh from his title success at Surbiton last week, got his campaign in the Challenger event off to a winning start with a routine 6-3, 6-4 victory over Belgian minnow Joris De Loore. But Murray, who ate out in Nottingham…

Boris Johnson has told the parliamentary committee investigating him to publish their “nonsense” after they delayed the publication of a report set to conclude that he misled MPs over lockdown-breaking parties. The conclusions of the Commons privileges committee investigation into partygate were due to be published on Tuesday, then Wednesday. Now they are expected on Thursday after the committee revealed that it received a letter from the former prime minister at 11.57pm on Monday, containing what The Telegraph understands is a “point-by-point pushback” of the conclusions. In a statement released on Tuesday night, Mr Johnson criticised the delay, saying: “The privileges committee…

The £2.3bn from the sale of Chelsea which was pledged to Ukraine war victims is in limbo amid European Union demands about how the money should be spent. When Roman Abramovich sold the football club almost 13 months ago, sources say he agreed with the Government that the money would be used for “all victims of the war in Ukraine”, as well as supporting the “long-term work of recovery”. Mr Abramovich is under sanctions after ministers accused him of having “clear connections” to Vladimir Putin’s regime and being among a group of businessmen of having “blood on their hands”. However, the huge…

India threatened to shut Twitter down unless it complied with orders to restrict accounts critical of the government’s handling of farmer protests, the social media platform’s co-founder Jack Dorsey has said, an accusation Narendra Modi’s government called an “outright lie“. Dorsey, who quit as Twitter’s chief executive in 2021, said on Monday that India had also threatened the company with raids on employees if it did not comply with government requests to take down certain posts. “It manifested in ways such as: ‘We will shut Twitter down in India’, which is a very large market for us; ‘We will raid…

Kylian Mbappé has stunned Paris Saint-Germain by presenting a formal letter to the club’s hierarchy, informing them of his decision not to take up the option of a one-year contract extension next summer. Unless Mbappé is convinced to either reverse his decision or negotiate a completely new deal, the striker’s contract will expire in June 2024, when the 24-year-old would be able to leave PSG on a free transfer. The club hierarchy are said to have taken the news in the letter badly, having previously thought that talks over a contract renewal were progressing well. The most likely scenario now appears to…

Boris Johnson entered in a public slanging match with Rishi Sunak on Monday, saying the Prime Minister was “talking rubbish” in a row over his honours list. ‌Breaking his silence on the resignation of Mr Johnson on Monday morning, the Prime Minister accused his predecessor-but-one of having asked him to overrule the vetting committee to push through his House of Lords nominations. ‌Mr Sunak told an audience in central London that this was not something he was “prepared to do” and if people did not like that, it was “tough”. ‌In the afternoon, Mr Johnson hit back – rejecting Mr…

MSP Ash Regan called for “decisive action” after Ms Sturgeon was arrested by police and released without charge on Sunday as part of an investigation into SNP finances. The former party leader said she was “innocent of any wrongdoing”. An SNP spokesman said the party was co-operating fully with the investigation. Police Scotland is investigating what happened to £660,000 of donations given to the SNP by independence activists for use in a future independence referendum campaign. Ms Regan, who quit as community safety minister over the gender recognition reform bill and finished third in the SNP leadership contest, told BBC…

The care minister, Helen Whately, has declined to back Matt Hancock’s claim that the government threw a “protective ring around care homes” at the start of the pandemic. Whately worked under the former health secretary in the first 18 months of Covid, but she avoided endorsing her former boss’s assertion, which will be tested at the public inquiry which starts in earnest this week. Asked whether Hancock was right in May 2020 when he told parliament “we absolutely did throw a protective ring around social care”, Whately told the Guardian she wanted to “use my own words which is that…

A delighted Pep Guardiola said Manchester City’s 1-0 victory over Internazionale at Istanbul’s Ataturk Olympic Stadium that claimed the Champions League and a historic treble was “written in the stars”. Rodri’s 68th-minute strike gave City a first European Cup in a hard-fought final in which Romelu Lukaku spurned a late chance to equalise with a header, Ederson saving via a knee at close range. Guardiola said: “It was written in the stars that we’d win this season – and we did. I’m feeling tired, calm and satisfied. This fucking trophy is so difficult to win. We knew it would be hard. They are…
