An overnight Russian strike left more than 100,000 Ukrainian households without power. The Ukrainian Energy Ministry reported on Saturday that the strikes in Northern Ukraine had cut off electricity and water in the region, as civilian casualties rose sharply in the country’s embattled east.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Saturday on his first full day in office that he is scrapping a controversial Conservative policy to deport asylum-seekers to Rwanda as he vowed to get change in motion, though he warned it will take time. “The Rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started,” Starmer said in his first news conference. “It’s never acted as a deterrent. Almost the opposite.” The announcement was widely expected because Starmer said he would ditch the plan that has cost hundreds of millions of dollars but never taken flight. The news conference followed his first Cabi...

Sir Keir Starmer’s resurgent UK Labour party has torpedoed the Conservatives 14-year tenure of government, leading the UK leftwards against the grain of mainland Europe’s surge to the far right. On the surface, that’s what Labour’s 174-seat House of Commons majority suggests. The commanding seat majority was built on a sparse 35% share of the vote, however, and behind each of the UK’s 650 constituencies, a nuanced picture emerged. Nigel Farage’s win in Clacton was one of four seats seized by his Reform Party, with another currently in recount. Though some way off the 13 seats predicted by the ...

It was one of the biggest wins in the centre-left Labour’s history, as opposed to monumental losses for the Conservatives who have been in power for 14 years. In his first speech as Prime Minister, Keir Starmer said he plans to “restore service and respect to politics” and called his work “urgent”. But does he consider the climate crisis to be an urgent priority?
