The prime minister also called for an end to “tribal politics” between the Scottish and UK governments.He said he and Swinney “agreed on some things” but “didn’t have to agree on everything”.Swinney is expected to promote his renewed push for independence in his keynote speech at the SNP conference on Saturday.He previously welcomed Burnham telling MPs that a border poll would be considered in both Scotland and Northern Ireland if there was a clear consensus and public opinion had changed.But Burnham later pushed back on that by telling Swinney at a meeting in Glasgow that a second Scottish independence referendum…

The senior statesmanOn taking the reins as UN Secretary-General, Guterres pledged “a surge in diplomacy for peace”. In practice, of course, this was far easier said than done.Like at the UNHCR, Guterres implemented institutional reforms as UN chief and his early years were shaped by protracted wars in Syria and Yemen, the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, the renewed conflict in Libya, the anti-multilateralist approach of Donald Trump’s first presidential term and the pandemic. Security Council divisions, however, limited what he could achieve when it came to the biggest conflicts.Then, on February 24, 2022, Ukrainians and Russians awoke to news that…

US President Donald Trump has renewed his sharp criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky, saying the Ukrainian leader is “more difficult to deal with than [Russian President Vladimir] Putin”.Trump, who recently made a controversial deal with Moscow to import its diesel to the American market, called Ukraine’s fresh wave of strikes on Russian oil refineries a “disgrace”. Zelensky had paused the attacks for three days at Trump’s request for a ceasefire on energy targets, but said on Thursday they would resume because Moscow had never stopped.Tensions between Washington and Kyiv have escalated recently over the US-Russia diesel deal and restrictions on Ukraine’s…

The UK government has warned councils against ill-considered plans to pedestrianise high streets in England.In evidence submitted to an inquiry by MPs, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said pedestrianisation can make high streets “more attractive, safe and welcoming”.But the department added that “the process needs to be well considered”, warning that removing traffic could make high streets less accessible and damage local economies.”Local leaders pursuing pedestrianisation must be aware of the risks and work to mitigate them, within a broader spatial strategy,” the evidence says.The evidence was submitted, external to the Housing, Communities and Local Government…

Educational and child psychologist Dr Sasha Hall, who’s mum to a three-year-old boy and five-year-old girl, says the first thing to understand is that this scenario is “completely normal”.”Unfortunately it’s going to happen to all our children at some point in our parenting journey,” she tells CBeebies Parenting Download.Dr Hall says while it may be tempting to get involved, it is not helpful in the long term.”We can’t remove all the obstacles, but we can give them the skills to manage,” she says. “It’s about building their resilience… what skills can we teach rather than change their outcomes?”Comedian, author and…
