Andy Burnham has become the new prime minister of the UK after Keir Starmer stepped down.

The UK has seen a lot of failure over the past decade. Its problems will take more to fix than changing the face at the top.

The conflict between Iran and the US has turned the waters around the Strait of Hormuz into some of the world’s deadliest, with thousands of sailors caught up in a war they never meant to join.

US President Donald Trump vowed that Iran would “pay” for killing three US soldiers despite signs Tehran and Washington want to resume diplomacy, even as a potential new front in the war opened.

The US president revealed the two leaders had a “good” phone call about the “outstanding” US-UK relationship – a stark contrast to Trump’s harsh criticism of Burnham’s predecessor, Keir Starmer.

The president predicted an Argentina victory but had to hand the silverware to Spain – a country he has repeatedly condemned as “terrible”– after being heartily booed by the crowd.

Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in the US after UK prosecutors brought new charges against them. Their lawyer called it “filth and slander” and said he was confident an extradition request would be denied.
