Burnham’s decision to actively exclude Putin comes after U.S. President Donald Trump sparked a diplomatic row by inviting the Russian leader to America’s G20 summit in Miami this December. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband previously told POLITICO Britain will not ditch its ban on directly engaging with Russia, but that it was for the U.S. to make its own decisions. A photocall at the G20 foreign ministers meeting last week was canceled after politicians, including Miliband, refused to be pictured with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The U.K. has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters since Russia’s full-scale invasion of…
Israeli soldiers stood guard near olive groves in the occupied West Bank village of al-Mughayyir on Thursday as Palestinian families gathered what they could during one of the few days they are permitted to harvest their crops. Footage showed troops firing tear gas near the olive pickers, with smoke drifting through the trees as a boy threw a canister aside. Home to around 3,000 people, the village lies north-east of Ramallah and has some 4,300 hectares of land, yet residents say they can access barely 100 hectares. Reaching their groves requires prior Israeli military approval, with access restricted to a…

It also speaks directly to the permission bottleneck Ellermann-Kingombe describes. Because data stays under the control of the nation or system that owns it, access can be governed by policy at the source, with classification boundaries and national rules enforced where the data lives rather than negotiated away in a central repository. Rather than consolidating everything into a traditional data lake, a data mesh approach manages data where it originates and lives, without moving or duplicating it. A data mesh approach is sustainable because of its reliance on open standards. They enable defense organizations to connect systems that were never…
Speaking to Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American leaders, he appealed for transformers, power cables, generators and electronic equipment to restore infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks. Zelensky specifically identified Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Colombia as potential suppliers of transformers, Chile for power cables and Spain for electrical equipment and generators.

The rally began at 11am outside the University of Athens, then wound to Syntagma Square, where crowds gathered in front of parliament behind police lines. Protesters carried banners declaring “From Greece to France, we fight for free public education” and placards bearing the French slogan “Étudier ou survivre?” (“Study or survive?”), borrowed from France’s school student protest movement. Outside parliament, some dumped sacks of rubble from deteriorating schools to highlight the conditions pupils face, from leaking roofs and crumbling plaster to broken radiators. Police put turnout at about 4,000 across Athens and Thessaloniki combined, well below the 20,000 who marched…
Farage was initially supportive after Trump launched strikes in February. He urged the U.K. government to “back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!” But within two weeks he changed his tune. He subsequently urged ministers not to “get involved directly in another foreign war.” Senior figures in Reform UK have been trying to distance themselves from Trump in the wake of MAGA’s midterm drubbing at the hands of the Democrats. One high-ranking adviser, granted anonymity to discuss transatlantic relations, said the party would continue building “good relations” with senior Republicans like JD Vance and Marco Rubio. “Reform already…
