The 34-year-old comedian, who also presented The Great British Sewing Bee, was on Laura Kuensberg’s debut show Today on Sunday alongside political adviser Cleo Watson and shadow attorney general Emily Thornberry.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a stern warning to Greece, saying the country would pay a “heavy price” if it continued to “harass” Turkish planes. Erdogan spoke during a rally in the Black Sea region, telling those present to “look at history”. “If you go further, you will pay a heavy price,” he said of Greece. “We have one thing to say to Greece: Remember Smyrna,” he added, referring to the city Turkey “liberated” from Greece in 1922 as part of its war of independence, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency....

Breaking into a broad smile as he recounts one of the last conversations he had with the British prime minister during his third and final visit to Kyiv last month, the Ukrainian president says: “He is an energetic person. I told him, “You can’t disappear,” and he said, “I won’t disappear.” A deep bond has been forged between Zelenskiy and Johnson, who allies claim has not ruled out a return to No 10 following his departure this week....

The issue was not voter registration programs or the training of volunteer poll workers. Instead, they paid $25 each to hear panelists expound on conspiracy theories about voting machines and rigged election results. In language that sometimes leaned toward violent imagery, some panelists invited attendees to join in what they framed as a battle between good and evil. Among those in the audience was Melissa Sauder, who drove nearly 350 miles from the small western Nebraska town of Grant with her 13-year-old daughter....

How distant that promise seems now, as the Balmoral breakfast table heaves with headlines featuring slings and arrows so frequently fired by the Sussexes at the monarch’s family and the institution she leads. But the Queen, 96, has been keeping calm and carrying on during her annual Scottish break. “She has had a busy summer with lots of visitors and has been out picnicking,” says a Palace source. While the Queen continues to emphasise that the Sussexes remain “much-loved” family members, they are not expected to see her

Für Merz ist klar: Es muss weiter aus Atomkraft kommen – bis zu fünf Jahre lang. Das dritte Hilfspaket der Bundesregierung enthält nach Ansicht von Oppositionsführer Friedrich Merz die richtigen Punkte, geht aber an vielen Stellen nicht weit genug. Durch die Einbeziehung von Rentnern und Studenten werde “etwas korrigiert, was die Koalition falsch gemacht hat und was wir angesprochen haben”, sagte der CDU-Parteichef und Unionsfraktionschef im Sommerinterview im ARD-Studio der Hauptstadt....
