The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will confront the Chinese regime’s growing military ambition for the first time, the 30-nation Western alliance said on June 14, describing Beijing as presenting “systemic challenges” to the global order. The language, which appears in the final communiqué issued after the conclusion of a one-day summit in Brussels, signals a burgeoning convergence in the West recognizing the various threats posed by Beijing. It came one day after the Group of Seven (G-7), made up of the world’s seven wealthiest countries, issued a statement criticizing Beijing’s human rights violations in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, as well as its…

BRITAIN has been urged to “very seriously consider” concluding a veterinary agreement with the EU, to reduce tensions over the Northern Ireland protocol. Irish taoiseach (prime minister) Michael Martin said this could remove “up to 80 percent of checks”, on good travelling between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. However, this would mean the UK agreeing to align with EU rules in a number of areas, significantly boosting Brussels’ influence. The arrangement, called a Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS), would tie Britain to certain EU rules. President Biden has insisted this won’t stop the UK signing a new trade agreement with…

The United State’s president Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson signed a new Atlantic Charter on the eve of the G7 summit in the United Kingdom. The agreement and the related joint statement by the two heads of state set focus on communist China. On June 10, Biden and Johnson signed the agreement that is modeled after the 1941 Atlantic charter signed by then-U.S. president Franklin Roosevelt and the British prime minister Winston Churchill in a pledge to cooperate on peace and democracy when Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ Party was invading the European continent. The new charter will now see the…

BORIS JOHNSON is set to address the nation later today to unveil the final decision on whether Coronavirus restrictions in England should be scrapped. The Prime Minister is expected to announce the ending of social-distancing rules – which had been slated for June 21 – will be delayed for four weeks to July 19 at 6pm today. The move follows warnings from scientists that the rapid spread of the Delta variant first identified in India risks a “substantial” third wave if it is allowed to spread unchecked. Mr Johnson will appeal to the public to show patience, with one last…

After the sheer willpower and strength it took to topple Rafael Nadal on his surface and his court on Friday, Novak Djokovic was charged with returning to the scene two days later and summoning his prime form once more against the second-best clay‑courter of the season. For a fair amount of time during this match it was reasonable to ask if this was a challenge too far, as his own waning energy and the force that is Stefanos Tsitsipas combined to create a two-set deficit for the Serb. Instead, Djokovic pulled off the type of manic recovery he has made look routine…

Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year run as Israel’s prime minister ended on June 13 with parliament approving a new “government of change” led by Naftali Bennett. Heading into opposition, Netanyahu, 71, the most dominant Israeli politician of his generation, pledged he would soon return to power. In a raucous session in which Netanyahu’s supporters shouted “shame” and “liar” at Bennett, 49, parliament voted confidence in his new administration by a razor-thin 60–59 majority. His alliance includes for the first time in Israel’s history a party that represents its 21 percent Arab minority. Israel’s longest-serving leader, Netanyahu was prime minister since 2009, after a…

BREXIT BRITAIN was proudly on show this afternoon as Boris Johnson took centre stage in a family photo of G7 ministers. World leaders have descended on Carbis Bay in Cornwall this weekend for crunch talks on a range of issues. The summit is the first time many of the leaders have met in person for over a year, with the pandemic largely grounding planes across the globe. With the family photo being taken outside, the elite group were able to ditch coronavirus face masks as they smiled for the camera. However, in a clear reminder of the coronavirus threat that…

The government has announced plans to kickstart the domestic tourism industry after months of restrictions on travel, socialising and hospitality, including a new rail pass and vouchers for popular attractions. In a bid to encourage people to holiday at home instead of abroad, an alternative to the “BritRail” pass for foreign visitors will be launched, letting Britons travel across the UK cheaper on certain days of their break, and possibly allowing children to travel free. To support the tourism industry after the summer getaway peak, the National Lottery will also launch a £10m voucher scheme for people to redeem discount…

The ball hung high in the sky for what felt like an eternity, offering Barbora Krejcikova all the time in the world to think about how badly things could end. Yet despite making 29 backhand unforced errors on Thursday afternoon, as she stood a point away from losing the biggest singles match of her career when serving at 3-5, 30-40 in the third set, she refused. Krejcikova skipped forward and swiped a nerveless backhand drive volley out of the air to save match point with an angled winner. Forty-five minutes later, after three hours and 17 minutes of nerves, doubt…

The medieval martial arts enthusiast who slapped President Emmanuel Macron across the face told a court he was a right-wing sympathizer who had acted because the president represented all that was rotten with France, BFM TV reported. Damien Tarel, 28, told the court in Valence that several days ahead of Macron’s visit to the southeastern Drome region, he had thought about throwing an egg or a cream tart at the president, the news channel reported. “I think that Macron represents very neatly the decay of our country,” he told the court according to BFM TV. “If I had challenged Macron to a duel at sunrise,…
