As the UK gears up for an election likely to trigger a change in government for the first time in 14 years, the Conservatives' plan to deport asylum seekers to the eastern African country of Rwanda looks set to grind to a halt. The policy, first announced in April 2022 as a response to the growing number of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats, has been deemed unlawful by the UK's Supreme Court. But Prime Minister Rishi Sunak circumvented legal hurdles by pushing through a bill in April deeming Rwanda to be a safe country. Sunak has said flights removing asylum seekers to Rwand...

Rishi Sunak has covered thousands of miles in the past few weeks, but he hasn't outrun the expectation that his term as prime minister of the UK is entering its final hours. British voters will cast ballots in a national election Thursday and are widely expected to do something they have not done since 2005: Elect a Labour Party government. During a hectic final two days of campaigning that saw him visit a food distribution warehouse, a supermarket, a farm and more, Sunak insisted that "the outcome of this election is not a foregone conclusion". "People can see that we have turned a corner," s...

"We've worked all our lives, so we want to have fun," one of them says. In the cafes, people read English newspapers, which feat...

Marina Abramović, the acclaimed performance artist who has dedicated her life to pushing the boundaries of conceptual art, is about to stage her largest-ever participatory work at Worthy Farm this evening. At 17:55 GMT, just before PJ Harvey’s set, the 77-year-old Serbian artist will take to the Pyramid Stage for seven minutes of silence.

With the brunt of people arriving on Wednesday, the crowds in their thousands made their way up the hill at the Park Stage for the festival's opening ceremony fireworks. But there was also a new addition to the rituals. As the sun set on a baking first day, people were drawn to the grounds outside the Pyramid Stage for a drone show.

Set to a silent background, the effect is impressive if a little subdued. You m...
