Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom dies at the age of 96

by
  • Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96.
  • Her health had been deteriorating since the death of the Duke of Edinburgh in April of last year.
  • Millions of her fans were left in tears and sadness as a result of the tragic news

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96.

The Queen died at Balmoral Castle, where she was under “medical supervision.” Millions of her fans were left in tears and sadness as a result of the tragic news.

The Queen died quietly, according to the Royal Family’s official account.

Before her death, the Queen was surrounded by her sons, daughters, grandchildren, and in-laws, as well as public people.

After Buckingham Palace issued a troubling message this morning, her family members hurried to the royal estate.

The Queen’s health had been deteriorating since the death of the Duke of Edinburgh in April of last year.

Since last autumn, Elizabeth has had to withdraw from a number of public occasions due to what appeared to be ongoing mobility issues, frequently delegating tasks to Prince Charles.

Remembrance Sunday, the Maundy Thursday ceremony, the annual Commonwealth Service, and the State Opening of Parliament were among the events that the Queen was unable to participate due to health difficulties in the previous year.

The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee on February 6th, celebrating 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms, and the Commonwealth.

On Tuesday, two days before her death, the Queen nominated Liz Truss, who had herself travelled to Balmoral, as the UK’s new Prime Minister, breaking with convention because the monarch was suffering from mobility concerns.

Following the Queen’s death, thousands of people gathered outside Buckingham Palace, all in tears over the terrible end of their beloved ruler.

Britain plans self-driving cars by 2025

Britain plans self-driving cars
  • Britain aims to have a widespread implementation of driverless vehicles on roads by 2025.
  • 100 million pounds ($119.09 million) in funding will be invested in safety studies and legislation.
  • Some self-driving cars may be permitted on major highways by the end of the year, but a much wider rollout is planned.

Britain announced plans for new rules and 100 million pounds ($119.09 million) in funding on Friday, stating that it intended a widespread implementation of autonomous vehicles on roads by 2025.

The developing market for driverless vehicles, which the government valued at 42 billion pounds and predicted could generate 38,000 new employment, was something it claimed it wanted to capitalize on.

According to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, “We want the UK to be at the forefront of developing and utilizing this fantastic technology, which is why we are investing millions in crucial research into the safety and setting the legislation to ensure we reap the full benefits that this technology promises.”

While some self-driving cars may be permitted on major highways by the end of the year, Friday’s statement also laid the groundwork for a much wider rollout, including for delivery and public transportation.

35 million pounds were included in the financing package for safety studies, which would inform new laws that were slated to take effect by 2025.

As a result, a human driver would not be held accountable for accidents involving self-driving cars, according to a government statement.

“The legislation would indicate manufacturers are responsible for the vehicle’s conduct when self-driving,” it stated.

Britain ‘won’t cave’ for Harry, Meghan Markle’s kids Lilibet/Archie

by
Britain
  • Ken Wharfe, a former royal police protection officer, made the claims.
  • He also addressed the Duke of Sussex’s ‘unwise’ decision.
  • Also spoke about the issue of Meghan Markle’s security team being barred from accessing Intelligence Intel and carrying personal firearms.

Britain government is reportedly refusing to “cave in” on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s security dispute over their children Archie and Lilibet.

Ken Wharfe, a former royal police protection officer, made this shocking claim.

He addressed the Duke of Sussex’s ‘unwise’ decision and alleged naivety of his claims, for he’d “never be refused protection.”

During his interview with the Pod Save the Queen podcast, the expert addressed everything.

He started by admitting, “I don’t know whom he advised him to take legal action against the British Government and the Metropolitan Police. I think it was an unwise thing to do because that, in essence, raises negative publicity.”

When asked about the issue of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s personal security team being barred from accessing Intelligence Intel and carrying personal firearms, Mr Wharfe added, “But I think the Government and the Metropolitan Police would have seen it would have been wrong to see this man, a global icon and celebrity in his own right, step onshore in the United Kingdom without any protection whatsoever.”

“So that was never the case that the Government and the police wouldn’t have provided a liaison to guarantee his safety and that of his wife and children.”

He also shared some personal experiences and admitted, “My own view is that Harry rather overplayed that and that was a mistake on his part.”

“I personally think it won’t rumble on and it will stabilise – and I think he will realise if he does come back that of course there will be protection there.”

“The country does have a responsibility to make sure that he is safe. But I don’t see the government or the police for that matter caving in on it.”

After all, is said and done, “I think Harry will have to work a little bit harder and understand that the government and the police are here to help him and they will do so.”

  • Britain sanctioned Russian regional governors for supporting Donetsk and Luhansk to aid the Russian occupation and land grab in Ukraine.
  • Britain claims to have sanctioned around 1,100 individuals and over 100 entities in Russia.

Britain announced on Tuesday that it had sanctioned Kremlin-appointed officials in the eastern Ukrainian provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk, as well as 29 regional governors across Russia, in retaliation to Moscow’s invasion of the former Soviet republic.

Russia’s minister and deputy minister of justice, as well as two nephews of Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, were among the 42 new designations added to Britain’s Russia sanctions.

“We will continue to impose harsh sanctions on those who are trying to legitimise Putin’s illegal invasion until Ukraine prevails,” Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who is the frontrunner to succeed Boris Johnson as prime minister, said in a statement.

The Russian-imposed Prime Minister and First Deputy Chairman of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, Vitaly Khotsenko and Vladislav Kuznetsov are now subject to travel bans and asset freezes, according to the British Foreign Office.

by
Rishi Sunak
  • Rishi Sunak is a candidate for Britain’s next prime minister.
  • He has proposed eliminating taxes on household energy bills as part of a “winter plan” to alleviate the cost-of-living crisis.
  • Some experts cautioned that the policies would benefit the wealthy more than the poor.

Rishi Sunak, a candidate for Britain’s next prime minister, proposed on Wednesday to temporarily eliminate taxes on household energy bills as part of a “winter plan” to alleviate the country’s cost-of-living crisis.

“The year-long hiatus on paying value-added tax (VAT) on energy bills would save the average household 160 pounds ($193)”, former finance minister Sunak said.

Sunak’s pledge represents a shift in strategy for him, who has previously emphasised the importance of restoring fiscal discipline to the United Kingdom. Some experts cautioned that the policies would benefit the wealthy more than the poor.

UK new prime minister is expected to be announced on September 5th

by
UK prime minister
  • In order to gain the support of their fellow candidates, nearly all of the candidates have made bold tax cut promises.
  • The new leader will also need to stem the tide of dwindling Conservative support.
  • The British economy is struggling with heavy debt, rocketing inflation, and slow growth.

LONDON: The first votes in the crowded, unpredictable, and acrimonious race to succeed Boris Johnson will be cast this week, with the announcement of Britain’s new prime minister expected on September 5.

To date, 11 candidates have entered the race to succeed Johnson as prime minister and leader of the dominant Conservative Party. Johnson resigned following a spectacular uprising by his own legislators and ministers following a number of scandals.

To even get to the first round of voting on Wednesday, according to the 1922 committee of Conservative MPs, contenders must receive at least 20 nominations from the party’s 358 legislators.

Those who obtained fewer than 30 votes will be eliminated.

Graham Brady stated, “I am very keen we get this concluded as smoothly, cleanly, and rapidly as possible.”

Before the Conservative Party’s members, who number fewer than 200,000, cast their postal ballots during the summer, the field will be narrowed down by MPs to a final two contenders.

Penny Mordaunt, the former defence minister, was rated highest by members in a poll conducted on Monday for the Conservative Home website. She was followed in popularity by Kemi Badenoch, the equalities minister, and Rishi Sunak, whose resignation as the finance minister contributed to Johnson’s downfall.

He added, “There seems to be a quite a big field at the moment, a lively contest. I hope we will have a very constructive contest, but (also) a really good opportunity for a proper, healthy, constructive debate about the future direction of the Conservative Party.”

The struggle for the top position follows one of the most turbulent episodes in contemporary British political history, during which more than 50 government ministers and advisers resigned, criticising Johnson’s moral character, honesty, and lack of candour.

The new leader will also need to stem the tide of dwindling Conservative support. According to a Savanta ComRes poll released on Monday, the opposition Labour Party has its largest poll advantage since 2013 with 43 percent to the Conservatives’ 28 percent.

The race for succession has already taken a personal turn.

Another candidate, former finance minister Sajid Javid, criticised what he called “poisonous rumours” and “attack memos” made over the weekend by some colleagues.
