Following almost a week of relentless Russian attacks on Kyiv and non-stop air raid alerts, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a stark warning to international airlines and insurers: “Russian airspace will effectively be closing.” In his evening address on 1 September, Zelenskyy said the consequences of the war Moscow launched more than four years ago could no longer be confined to Ukrainian territory and that Kyiv’s ever-growing drone operations would soon render Russian airspace unsafe. “It was from Russia that the first missiles and the first drones came, and they crossed our country’s border from Russian airspace,” Zelenskyy said. “This…
The World Nomad Games opened in Bishkek on Thursday, drawing delegations from more than 100 countries and 21 heads of state, including the leaders of China, India and Russia, who were attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit and its presidential session in the Kyrgyz capital. The SCO summit brought together Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, among other heads of state, giving the games a high-profile international audience. The games, often called the “nomadic Olympics,” were first held in Kyrgyzstan in 2014. The United Nations has since recognised them as a platform…
Burnham dropped a hint that he could raise defense spending to 3 percent of GDP by 2030 — a key demand of his chief finance minister, John Healey, when he quit Starmer’s government earlier this year as defense minister. Burnham said he had appointed Healey “precisely because” of his arguments on defense. Yet both men have pushed back any decision to a spending review in 2027, and will not face easy choices; the U.K.’s long-term borrowing costs are their highest since 1998, and Burnham declined to rule out tax rises in Healey’s fall budget. On paper, the position did not…
The migrant crisis in Ceuta continues to dominate Spain’s political agenda. The Council of Ministers on Tuesday approved an extraordinary funding package worth €309 million for the autonomous city, aimed at safeguarding jobs, supporting businesses, strengthening security and ensuring public services. Government spokesperson Elma Saiz presented the measures alongside First Vice-President Carlos Cuerpo and Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres. The announcement came on the eve of a demonstration in the city that has exposed divisions in the PSOE and prompted Podemos to call a separate anti-racism rally. The package, Cuerpo explained, amounts to around 16% of the city’s GDP…
