Iran-Israel: Ceasefire collapse causes Donald Trump’s F-bomb rant broadcast live on television.
The Middle East and US relationship has always been in flux throughout this Tuesday. Trump made the announcement that a ceasefire had been reached this morning. Israel issued a chilling warning just hours after accusing Iran of breaking the deal, but only hours later.
Trump reportedly brokered his ceasefire agreement, so he reportedly ranted against reporters. The US president claimed that Israel and the two countries had broken the deal and that he was “not happy” with them. He claimed that both nations “don’t know what the f*** they’re doing” in comments that were broadcast live.
The comments came after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered the Israel Defence Force to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran”. Iran also claimed Israel had violated the ceasefire. Trump insists it is back in effect, despite reports of explosions heard in Iran this afternoon.

Neil Young leaves BBC with a headache from Glastonbury because the actor makes unusual demands.
Millions of viewers and ears will be drawn to the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury as the festival nears. However, as Neil Young performs at the Pyramid Stage, our Showbiz team believes he might not be on any TV screens in the UK.
The Heart of Gold singer, 79, is one of the biggest names on the bill but it is still unclear how much of his Saturday performance will be on TV. Young is still wrangling with the BBC about coverage. Insiders suspect he will agree to letting just a handful of songs go out on TV or BBC iPlayer.
It’s not clear whether they will be available live or as part of an edited highlights package. Neil Young is not included in the BBC’s live sets, but Charli xcx and Doechii, who play on other Saturday stages, are mentioned in a BBC schedule that was made available to the public.

British citizens must “actively prepare” for war on British soil, warns the chilling government strategy.
A chilling government has warned that the British public should “actively prepare” for war on British soil as Middle Eastern tensions escalate. According to our political team, the newly released National Security Strategy predicted that the country would face growing threats in a World War Two-style spirit.
It said tackling the danger of nuclear weapons will be “more complex than it was even in the Cold War”. The document went on to warn that major powers like China and Russia are seeking to gain an upper hand in “outer space, cyberspace, the deep sea, and at the Arctic and Antarctic poles”.
Additionally, the report cautioned against attacking these shores by putting forth threats against hostile states and criminals who may collaborate with terrorist organizations and criminals. For the first time in a long time, it states that we must actively prepare for the possibility of the UK’s homeland being directly threatened, possibly in a wartime situation.

Incredible, incredible, and ultimately revealed winning design for a massive memorial to the late Queen
This morning, our Royal team revealed that the incredible winning design for a huge central London memorial to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II had been unveiled. The memorial – which is set to transform St James’s Park – is being built to honour the life and service of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
Key features include a statue of the Queen in a new civic space called Queen Elizabeth II Place at Marlborough Gate, a new Prince Philip Gate on the other side of the park on Birdcage Walk with a statue of Philip, as well as a “family of gardens”, meandering paths and a new translucent, glass unity bridge.
The Queen Elizabeth wore a tiara on her wedding day in 1947 to the late Prince Philip, which serves as inspiration for the memorial bridge. The famous Queen Mary Fringe diamond tiara broke just before the bride was supposed to walk down the aisle.

As he arrives at a NATO summit this Tuesday evening, Keir Starmer faces a growing rebellion from his own Labour MPs at home over PIP and Universal Credit reforms. However, when asked if he would delay next week’s crunch vote, the Prime Minister insisted he would press ahead with plans – claiming the welfare system would collapse without reform.
A Commons amendment that rejects the reforms has been amended by over 100 Labour MPs, raising the possibility of the first government defeat. However, Mr. Starmer stated he would not put a stop to the plans as he addressed reporters on Tuesday as he headed to the NATO summit in The Hague.
We were elected to change what is broken in our nation, the prime minister said. We will continue to implement our reforms because the welfare system is broken.
