What are the prospects of European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine? Leaders remain divided
While the UK's Keir Starmer reaffirmed he’s ready to consider sending British forces on the Ukrainian ground alongside others, Germany's Olaf Scholz called the idea 'premature.'
In a move that seems to have caught Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu by surprise, Sir Keir Starmer has sent a clear message to Israel: end the war in Gaza or.. Sky News
Keir Starmer has announced plans to stabilise business rates and allow easier access to loans in a bid to support small businesses. In a speech delivered in Wiltshire on Thursday, the prime minister said 38 businesses are forced to shut every day due to late payments, costing the economy "£11bn per year". Report by Kennedyl.

A shadow minister has said the government's recognition of Palestine as an independent state is unlikely to happen. Keir Starmer said he would recognise the state if Hamas surrendered power. Shadow chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart said: "Hamas is not about to lay down it's weapons and go quietly into the night. I just think this is nonsense really." Report by Kennedyl.

Tensions escalated near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed hearing explosions and spotting rising smoke from a nearby auxiliary facility under reported shelling and drone attack. The plant, Europe’s largest and among the top 10 globally, has been under Russian control since March 2022. The blasts began around 9 a.m. and continued through the afternoon, just 1,200 meters from the main plant.
IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi warned that any military activity near nuclear facilities poses a severe threat to global nuclear safety. Meanwhile, new Greenpeace satellite imagery reveals Russia’s attempt to integrate the Zaporizhzhia plant into its energy grid, laying over 80 km of high-voltage power lines from occupied Mariupol and Berdyansk. This incident adds to growing concerns over the militarization and misuse of critical nuclear infrastructure in the ongoing Ukraine war.

Ukraine unleashed a sweeping overnight drone offensive that struck deep inside Russian territory, killing at least three and igniting fires at key military and energy infrastructure sites. The strikes, claimed by Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and intelligence agency SBU, highlight Kyiv’s expanding long-range drone warfare capabilities.
High-value targets included the Ryazan oil refinery near Moscow, the Annanefteprodukt oil facility in Voronezh, and the Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airfield—allegedly used to launch Iranian-made Shahed drones. In Penza, the Elektropribor electronics plant was hit, killing a woman and injuring two others. Fires and structural damage were also reported in Samara and Rostov, where casualties included an elderly man and a security guard. Russia’s defense ministry said 112 drones were intercepted during the 9-hour attack, but several breached air defenses. As Ukraine leans on asymmetric warfare, its drone campaign signals a bold shift in strategy—aimed at crippling Russia's war machine beyond the frontlines.

A violent confrontation broke out in Kiev as Ukrainian conscription officers attempted to forcefully recruit a young man on the street. Video shared by RT shows the man escaping a draft van, prompting his family and locals to attack the officers. The brawl escalated into torn uniforms and chaotic resistance. Under martial law, men aged 18–60 are subject to conscription, and Ukraine has recently lowered the draft age amid military shortages. The incident highlights growing public anger over forced recruitment as the war with Russia drags on.

As Russia unveils its hypersonic “Oreshnik” missile capable of Mach 10 speeds, former President Trump doubles down on his vision of a $25B “impenetrable missile defense dome.” Marketed as America’s answer to global threats, the so-called "Golden Dome" faces serious skepticism. Experts warn the U.S. remains vulnerable, with no existing defense proven to stop missiles like Oreshnik. While Trump promises next-gen protection, Russia’s battlefield display in Ukraine sends a chilling message: the future of warfare is already here—and America might be a step behind.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

Germany's FM says Berlin has responsibility to prevent Israel's international isolation
Germany, traditionally a staunch ally of Israel, has been increasingly critical of Israel’s actions in Gaza. But while it has insisted that Israel must do more to increase aid supplies, Wadephul addressed his appeal to end the war primarily to Hamas.

EU fails to agree Israeli suspension from research fund over Gaza
EU member states could not rally the support necessary to suspend Israel from the Horizon Europe fund in response to the war in Gaza. The proposal needed a qualified majority of member states to pass it. But two of the largest countries - Germany and Italy - said they need more time to examine it.
