UK Police Search for Asylum Seeker Freed in Error

UK police are searching for an Ethiopian asylum seeker who was mistakenly released from prison after being convicted of sexual offenses. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was serving a one-year sentence for sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman. He was due to be deported but was incorrectly released due to a Prison Service error. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident "totally unacceptable" and stated that the man "must be caught and deported for his crimes." Essex Police, leading the investigation, confirmed that Kebatu was last seen boarding a train to London. They are working with the Metropolitan Police and reviewing CCTV footage to locate him. The case had previously sparked anti-immigration protests in the Epping area, where Kebatu was housed in a hotel for asylum seekers. The father of the teenage victim said the justice system had "let […]

Zelenskyy Meets European Leaders in London to Strengthen Military Aid for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet key European leaders in the United Kingdom on Friday to discuss renewed military support aimed at deterring future Russian aggression, should a ceasefire end the war that has now entered its fourth year. The talks, set to take place at the Foreign Office in London, will bring together Zelenskyy, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof.

The agenda includes plans to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, protect the country’s power grid from relentless Russian drone and missile attacks, and potentially supply Kyiv with longer-range weapons capable of striking deeper inside […]

UK to Scrap Refugee Family Reunion and Settlement Rights

The UK government has announced plans to end the refugee family reunion scheme and remove automatic settlement rights for those granted asylum. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated the reforms aim to create a "fairer system" where the path to permanent settlement is longer and must be "earned via contribution to the country." The family reunion route, which allowed refugees in the UK to bring close family members to join them, will be scrapped entirely. This route had issued nearly 21,000 visas in the past year, mostly to women and children. The government argues these changes will help curb record levels of immigration and deter dangerous Channel crossings. Under the new policy, refugees will no longer be granted immediate permanent residency and will lose the automatic right to reunite with their families. Critics, including the Refugee Council, warn that the move […]

UK PM Starmer to Review How Courts Apply Migrant Rights

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a review of how British courts interpret international human rights laws. The goal is to manage immigration more effectively and increase the number of migrant deportations. In a BBC Radio interview, Starmer stated his government is analyzing the application of key international conventions, including those protecting refugees, preventing torture, and upholding children's rights. He emphasized that he believes in these agreements but that they must be applied to modern circumstances. "We need to look again at the interpretation of some of these provisions," Starmer said. He clarified he does not intend to "tear all that down," but to adapt their application in the face of what he called "mass migration." The Prime Minister specifically highlighted two articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR): Article 3, which prohibits torture. Starmer suggested a […]

UK to Tighten Rules for Migrants Seeking Permanent Stay

Migrants hoping to secure permanent residency in the UK will face stricter requirements under new plans to be unveiled by Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood on Monday. Currently, individuals with family ties who have lived in the UK for five years, or those legally residing in the country for 10 years on any visa, can qualify for “indefinite leave to remain.” This status allows them to live, work, study, claim benefits, and eventually apply for citizenship. But under the new proposals, applicants would need to meet tougher conditions. They must hold a job, pay social security contributions, claim no benefits, have a clean criminal record, and take part in community service. Proficiency in English will also be required. Mahmood is set to outline the plans at the ruling Labour Party’s annual conference, with a public consultation expected later this year. She […]

Global divisions deepen as more nations back Palestinian State

Momentum is growing for international recognition of a Palestinian State, even as the United States and Israel strongly oppose the move. On Monday, Britain formally recognised Palestine, following similar steps by Canada and Australia. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the recognition “keeps alive the possibility of peace,” while reaffirming support for efforts to free Israeli hostages. As of September 2025, 150 of the 193 UN member states — over 78% — now recognise Palestine as a sovereign state. The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) had already granted Palestine non-member observer status in 2012. However, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed the endorsements, calling them a “reward for terrorism.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was even more forceful, declaring: “There will be no Palestinian State west of the Jordan River.” Netanyahu argued that recognising Palestine undermines peace, while pledging to expand […]

Netanyahu, Western Leaders Clash as UK, Canada, Australia Recognise State of Palestine

The governments of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia yesterday formally recognised the State of Palestine, escalating diplomatic tensions with Israel as war rages in Gaza. Portugal is expected to follow suit. The coordinated announcement came after months of warnings that recognition would follow if Israel failed to commit to a peace process that allowed for a two-state solution. Starmer: “A Step Toward Peace” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended the decision, saying it was necessary to preserve the hope of peace amid Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. “In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of peace and a two-state solution,” Starmer said in a post on X. He stressed that recognition “is not a reward for Hamas,” adding that the group “can have no role in government, no role […]

Trump: Putin has ‘let me down’ as UK state visit concludes

US President Donald Trump wrapped up his historic second UK state visit on Thursday with blunt words for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, saying he had “really let me down” over the war in Ukraine. Speaking alongside Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers, Trump revealed he had expected the Ukraine conflict to be the “easiest” to resolve because of his personal ties with Putin. “He’s really let me down,” Trump said. “If the price of oil comes down, Putin’s going to drop out of that war. Europe must stop buying Russian oil.” The two leaders discussed a range of issues, including Ukraine, Gaza, trade, migration, and technology. ‘Unbreakable bond’ and tech deal Earlier in the day, Trump hailed America’s “unbreakable bond” with Britain as both countries signed a landmark tech deal spanning artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nuclear energy. The deal […]

Trump set for lavish UK state visit with royal pomp at Windsor

Britain is preparing to give Donald Trump an unprecedented second UK state visit on Wednesday, rolling out royal pageantry on a scale not seen in decades. King Charles III will greet the US president at Windsor Castle, where a day of ceremonial splendor, military displays, and a lavish state banquet is planned — all staged behind closed doors and away from expected noisy protests. Trump, 79, becomes the first US president to receive two UK state visits, underscoring Britain’s bid to win his favor at a time of global uncertainty. Officials say the welcome will be the biggest military ceremonial reception in living memory, eclipsing even Queen Elizabeth II’s hosting of Trump in 2019. It will include: A carriage procession with King Charles and Queen Camilla inside Windsor grounds A 120-horse guard of honour with 1,300 troops The first-ever joint […]

UK inflation steady at 3.8% as BoE set to hold rates

UK inflation remained unchanged at 3.8% in August, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), matching July’s figure and analysts’ expectations. The data comes just ahead of the Bank of England’s policy meeting on Thursday, where markets widely expect the central bank to hold interest rates at 4% after cutting them last month to their lowest in 2.5 years. The BoE has forecast inflation to peak at 4% in September, double its 2% target, suggesting a “higher-for-longer” rate environment. Lindsay James, investment strategist at Quilter, said the figures “will keep pressure on households already contending with elevated living costs and on businesses facing squeezed demand.” The ONS noted that airfares fell in August after a sharp July jump, but petrol, diesel and food prices continued to climb. The government is also battling weak growth and jobs concerns. Official data […]
