      No breakthrough in Nato-Turkey talks on Sweden joining alliance

      Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg made no breakthrough on Sunday in talks about Sweden’s membership in the organisation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Officials from the two countries will meet in just over a week to try to bridge their differences. Nato wants to bring Sweden into the fold by the time US President Joe Biden and other allied leaders meet in Lithuania on July 11-12, but Turkey and Hungary have yet to endorse the move. All 31 member countries must ratify a candidate’s accession protocol for it to join the trans-Atlantic alliance.

      Foreigners might have to wait longer to become British citizens

      Foreign nationals could have to wait longer to become British citizens under plans to make the United Kingdom appear less of a ‘soft touch’ on immigration, the Mail on Sunday understands. Home Office officials are considering bringing the UK closer into line with other countries by extending the criterion of ‘continuous residence’ from five years to eight years before they grant an indefinite leave to remain – the first step towards citizenship. Other changes being considered include requiring applicants to have worked or been at school in the UK for two years; a strict threshold for criminality – such as demanding that an applicant must have been conviction-free for at least ten years; and removing the exemption for the over-65s from…
