Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram DoraiswamiPoll Do you agree with India's approach to maintaining energy imports from Russia despite global sanctions? Yes, it's necessary for the economy No, India should comply with sanctionsNEW DELHI: Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami schooled the Western journalist over criticising India's oil imports from Russia and said that the New Delhi is the third largest consumer of energy in the world and imports over 80% of its products. Second, we have an energy relationship today which is a result of everybody else buying energy from sources that we used to earlier buy from.

Residents and businesses criticise Middlesbrough town centre
The closure of Next on Linthorpe Road has been described by some as another nail in the coffin of Middlesbrough town centre. People who stopped to chat were universally negative about the current state of the town centre and weren’t much more optimistic about its future prospects. She thought that a smaller town centre was needed, which is something that the council’s director of regeneration has previously spoken about. We recognise the challenges Middlesbrough faces, and this is why we’re taking action to improve not only Linthorpe Road, but the whole town centre and Middlehaven. “We’re working with our developers, businesses, the university and the council to do everything we can to adapt and ensure the town centre realises the potential it has.”

'US likely moved N-arms to UK for first time since '08'
‘US likely moved N-arms to UK for first time since ’08’T he US has likely stationed nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time since 2008, in a signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that it remains committed to European security.On July 16, a US military aircraft flew with its transponder on - making its identification and location publicly visible - from a US nuclear weapons depot at Kirtland air force base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to an airbase in the UK city of Lakenheath, according to defence analysts and open-source data.The C-17 flight involved the US air force's Prime Nuclear Airlift Force, which transports nuclear weapons, and didn't fly over any other nation's territory, according to William Alberque, a Europe-based senior fellow at Pacific Forum. US and UK govts have longstanding policies of not commenting on status or location of their nuclear weapons.The weapons the aircraft most likely delivered were the new B61-12 thermonuclear bombs, increasing the number of US tactical nuclear weapons in Europe for the first time since the Cold War.Alberque said the decision to leave the flight transponders on indicates the US wants to show Russia that it is not reducing its nuclear capability in Europe. "Returning US nuclear weapons to the UK is no small feat. "The move also signals that the US is committing more flexible nuclear capabilities to Europe, creating a wider range of options for its forces, said Sidharth Kaushal, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute. "Capabilities such as the B61 can contribute to limiting the impact of Russia's large advantage in theater-level nonstrategic nuclear weapons," Kaushal said.

But after Mr. Trump sent the bloc a letter threatening stiff tariffs, they made more headway. Mr. Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on foreign cars and car parts in April.

Trump and Starmer Expected to Discuss Trade, Gaza and Ukraine in Scotland Meeting
President Trump will host Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain at his two golf courses in Scotland on Monday, the day after announcing a deal with the European Union designed to avoid a costly economic war with America’s biggest trading bloc. British officials said they expected the all-day agenda to include discussion of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the grinding war in Ukraine. Mr. Trump announced on Sunday that Europe had agreed to tariffs of 15 percent on automobiles and most other E.U. The tariffs are higher than the 10 percent duty on most British goods that Britain, which is not in the European Union, agreed to in a deal that Mr. Starmer and Mr. Trump struck in May. The 27-nation bloc also agreed to buy $750 billion worth of U.S. energy and invest $600 billion in the United States, Mr. Trump said.
