      Italian PM visits flood stricken areas after 36,000 evacuated

      Giorgia Meloni toured towns in the Emilia-Romagna region, where the fierce floods have taken 14 lives and unleashed damage estimated to be billions of euros, after stopping off on her way back from the summit in Asia. Around 36,000 people were evacuated amid floods that sent rivers of mud pouring through towns in an extreme event made worse by climate change, scientists have said. She said meeting those who had been affected by the deluge had been a moving experience. “It has been a tragedy but we can always recover strongly from crises,” Meloni told reporters in the city of Ravenna, one of the areas badly affected.

      F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine pose a ‘colossal risk’ to Russia

      Joe Biden said the delivery of F-16 jets to Ukraine represents a “colossal risk” to Russia as he directed the Kremlin’s own words back at Vladimir Putin. On Sunday, leaders of the G7 richest democracies said they would not back down from supporting Ukraine, after the US approved the possible transfer of Western jets. Earlier in the day, the US president said Volodymyr Zelensky, his Ukrainian counterpart, has given Washington a “flat assurance” that F-16 fighters will not attack Russian soil. The US offer of F-16s constitutes a significant upgrade from Kyiv’s Cold War-era fleet for MiGs and Sukhois but some warned their use could cast into question the defensive nature of weapons the West is now providing to the war-torn nation.…

      Sheikh Jassim ready to buy Premier League rival if Manchester United takeover bid fails

      Sheikh Jassim will attempt to buy Premier League rivals West Ham United if his bid for Manchester United fails. The Qatari submitted a third and final take-it-or-leave-it bid last Tuesday, which came some two weeks after the initial deadline. Jassim, who claims to be a Manchester United fan, has vowed to wipe the club’s debt and create a community fund to invest in the local area on top of his £5bn bid for full control. But Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains the frontrunner as he’s offer two of the six Glazer siblings a chance to remain shareholders in the club. The Qataris would be furious to miss out on the chance of landing an institution of Manchester United’s magnitude but their ambitions to move into the Premier League will…

      DUP urged to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland after Sinn Féin poll triumph

      The Democratic Unionist party (DUP) is facing renewed calls to restore power-sharing in Northern Ireland after a Sinn Féin electoral “tsunami” reshaped local government. Chris Heaton-Harris, the secretary of state for Northern Ireland, on Sunday joined a chorus urging the DUP to end a boycott that has paralysed the executive and assembly at Stormont. “Alongside the new councils, it remains my hope to see the assembly and executive return to work,” he said. Michelle O’Neill, Sinn Féin’s deputy leader and putative first minister, said her party’s performance in the 18 May council elections – final results were announced on Saturday night – reflected a desire to revive Stormont. “It is time to make politics work for all people and communities, and to build a…

      Zelenskyy’s visit to the G7 has paid dividends – he can fly home confident in the West’s support

      His whirlwind tour of allies that ended in Hiroshima, Japan, this weekend has paid dividends. Finally, they have accepted the logic behind his demands for modern warplanes. They won’t be there for months, possibly not even this year, but the significance is huge. The West is now all in. Once again Britain has led the way. Rishi Sunak’s promise to start training Ukrainians to fly state-of-the-art fighter jets has prompted others, most importantly America, to follow. Never mind that it will take months and as Sky News reported last week, the training has not even begun yet. Just as with tanks, the UK’s initiative has brought Washington round. Joe Biden has given the go ahead for allies to train Ukrainians on F16 fighter…
