Prince Edward has been named as the new Duke of Edinburgh, Buckingham Palace has announced. The title, granted by King Charles III on the prince’s 59th birthday, will be held for his lifetime. The former Duke of Edinburgh was Prince Philip, who died in 2021, and who was given the title on the morning of his wedding to Princess Elizabeth, who later became Queen Elizabeth II. The new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, will be in Edinburgh later. The couple are expected to attend an event in the Scottish capital on Friday marking the first year of conflict in…

Rishi Sunak and a series of his ministers are heading to Paris for a summit at which he will push Emmanuel Macron to assist him over Channel migrant crossings – but with little apparent chance of securing an immediate deal on returning people. The gathering in Paris, the first such UK-France summit in five years, is also based around wider bilateral issues such as defence and Ukraine. However, for Sunak’s domestic focus, it seems set to be dominated by the issue of small boats. The prime minister will meet the French president for talks at the Élysée Palace, with a joint press…

Storm Larisa is battering parts of the UK, with gales and blizzards causing significant disruption including trapping motorists for hours overnight on a motorway in the north of England. The Met Office has issued amber warnings for northern England, the Midlands, north Wales and Northern Ireland, where “significant disruption” to transport and power supplies is expected. Yellow warnings for snow cover much of the rest of the UK, with the exception of south-east England and western Scotland. The Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said the storm, which has been named by the French weather service, was bringing rain and snow to the UK. “Storm…

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has agreed to a full public release of the security footage recorded at the U.S. Capitol during the events of Jan. 6, 2021. In an interview with Breitbart News that aired on Thursday, McCarthy discussed his decision to share the footage with Fox News host Tucker Carlson and said defendants who are facing charges after going to the Capitol on Jan. 6 should be able to see the footage for their own defense in court. When asked whether he would fully release the Capitol security footage to the public, the Republican House speaker responded in…

“Bruno, Bruno” was the ecstatic cry offered to Manchester United’s talisman, whose goal here – his side’s third of the night – killed off Real Betis and gave the Portuguese a dash of redemption four days after the 7-0 humbling by Liverpool. Fernandes’s petulant display in that horror show led to his status as United’s stand-in captain being questioned, so to score in this Europa League last-16 first leg was the perfect response – as was the result for Erik ten Hag’s team. In choosing the same XI that earned the wrong kind of immortality at the hands of their arch rivals, the…

Matt Hancock was instructed by the Cabinet Office to tone claims in his memoir that the Covid-19 pandemic originated from a laboratory leak in China, according to leaked correspondence. Officials are said to have warned it would “cause problems” if he repeated the claim in his Pandemic Diaries and insisted he must make clear he was not reflecting the government’s view. The changes to the book were made after he submitted the manuscript to the Cabinet Office for review last year, according to The Telegraph – a procedure all former ministers are obliged to follow. The newspaper reported that Mr Hancock had wanted to say that “given how cagey…

Rishi Sunak’s government is understood to be planning to welcome in more foreign builders to tackle a chronic post-Brexit labour shortage in Britain’s construction industry. Despite the crackdown on illegal immigration routes, the government is said to be ready to add construction workers to a “shortage occupation list” in a bid to boost sluggish housebuilding. The building sector has suffered from acute lack of workers since Brexit caused many European labourers to return to the EU. The government’s Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has recommended that bricklayers, plasterers, roofers and others construction workers should be added to the shortage list, according to the Financial Times.…

They will, of course, keep trying. Another few signings in the summer, perhaps a new coach, a few tweaks to the project. Certainly Ligue 1 defences can expect a whole new world of punishment next season. And in a sense, this is simply the mantra of the modern Paris Saint-Germain. Ever bought? Ever failed? No matter. Buy again. Fail again. Fail better. Fail with the two greatest forwards in the world at your disposal. Fail by giving it away in your own penalty area and letting Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting tap the ball into an empty net. Fail by not scoring a…

Rishi Sunak has refused three times to say he has confidence that Simon Case will remain the Cabinet Secretary until the next election, amid a growing backlash to his pandemic-era WhatsApp messages. The Prime Minister was on Tuesday night asked to comment on speculation that Britain’s most senior civil servant was preparing to stand down, but initially said only that he “continues to support the government’s agenda,” including on small boat crossings. It came as Labour sources said Sir Keir Starmer would sack Mr Case if he was to win the next election and The Telegraph revealed new WhatsApp messages in which he criticised…

STOCKHOLM/BERLIN—Western allies on Wednesday warned against reaching premature conclusions on who was responsible for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, with Germany suggesting the attack could also have been a “false flag” operation to blame Ukraine. A New York Times report, citing intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials, said on Tuesday a pro-Ukrainian group may be behind the blasts that became a flashpoint between the West and Russia after last year’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. The report, while not pointing to any official Ukrainian involvement, comes at a time when Kyiv is urging its Western allies to ramp up supplies of…
