Ukrainian officials have been stressing for months their need for modern combat planes to replace their aging Soviet-era MiG and Sukhoi jets and better defend the country’s skies against Russia’s invasion.

Paris has also pledged to provide Ukraine with its own Mirage…
Sometimes it’s unclear how or why a person died. A detailed examination of the body after death, known as an autopsy or postmortem, can help find answers. Despite what you may have seen on TV crime shows, most autopsies are minimally invasive; body often stays intact throughout a mostly observational procedure. Sometimes, though, a more extended investigation is needed. Through each step of the autopsy process, the dignity and respect of the deceased is prioritised by all involved. Not every death will result in an autopsy If someone dies from natural causes, there is no evidence of suspicious circumstances or…
The new rapid response process means mosques at risk of violent disorder can be offered additional security personnel, providing communities with vital support and reassurance. This will boost the work already being done by local police forces to protect these important places of worship. Under the new process now in place, the police, local authorities and mosques can ask for rapid security to be deployed, protecting communities and allowing for a return to worship as quickly as possible. This announcement will build on the existing Protective Security for Mosques Scheme, with up to £29.4 million already available this year to fund security at mosques and Muslim faith schools. Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper said: “Britain is a proud and tolerant country,…
On May 23, after anti-democratic actions by the Georgian government, I announced a comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation between the United States and Georgia. As a result of that review, the United States is pausing more than $95 million in assistance that directly benefits the Government of Georgia. The Georgian government’s anti-democratic actions and false statements are incompatible with membership norms in the EU and NATO. While we are pausing our assistance to the Government of Georgia due to those actions, the United States will continue assistance to programs and activities that benefit the people of Georgia by strengthening democracy,…
