Photograph: Olivier Hoslet/EPA UK-EU ‘reset’ summit may still happen next month despite delay speculation EU’s Maroš Šefčovič says summit will ‘probably’ be in July but sources say it could be put back as talks deadlocked UK politics live – latest updates The EU has said Keir Starmer’s upcoming summit “resetting” the UK-Europe relationship may still happen in July, amid growing fears it could be postponed to the autumn as talks over youth mobility remain deadlocked. “The summit is supposed to be mid-July but at the moment it could be put back to after the summer,” said one EU diplomat. “There is common concern that momentum is being lost. Negotiations always continue until the moment the clock stops and then you have a text the next morning, but because there is no deadline, the pressure is off,” the source added. Speaking at a conference in Brussels, the EU trade commissioner, Maroš Šefčovič, said: “I believe that still the expectation is that we would have the summit, most probably in July.” Asked if talks were deadlocked on a scheme to allow under-30s to travel freely on a three-year visa scheme for youth, he said it was one of the top three issues, and one that EU ministers cared deeply about. Describing a recent meeting of 27 European ministers, he said: “When we were discussing the relationship with the UK, 20 ministers took the floor and said how the youth experience is important for them. So I think this is something what I see as an investment into the future.” Šefčovič added that his second daughter studied in the UK, “she has all the university friends from there, she speaks much better English than I do, she can do the British accent excellently”. His personal interest is reflected widely around governments in Europe, meaning it is turning into something of a red line for EU leaders. The UK business secretary, Peter Kyle , who had an hour-long meeting with Šefčovič in Brussels on Friday, said: “We are very aware of the strength of feeling” about youth mobility but a deal had to be “respectful” for both sides. The annual summit, the second of its kind since Brexit, was originally due to be held in May, exactly a year after the first , when Starmer and the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, met in Lancaster House in Westminster. But with talks over a youth experience scheme and a veterinary deal taking longer than anticipated, 29 June was pencilled in for this year’s summit, according to sources. That has now shifted to a tentative date of 13 July and there is speculation it may move again. Kyle described his meeting with Šefčovič as “positive” and full of “hope and optimism” in trying to nail a deal on three areas –

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet delights young film fan with surprise call 3 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Elaine Mitchell South west reporter, BBC News NI Getty Images Kate Winslet has delighted a young film fan with a surprise call Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has delighted a young film fan with a surprise call after hearing her story of having to travel 140-miles to find an accessible cinema. Fourteen-year-old Eryn, who has been blind since birth, made the three-hour round-trip for a screening of The Magic Faraway Tree, a film adapted from Enid Blyton's book series. Eryn said the journey was necessary because the cinema was the only one her family could find offering audio description (AD) headsets. Winslet, who voiced the audiobooks of The Magic Faraway Tree series, told the teenager she was "absolutely staggered" she had to travel so far. NEAL STREET PRODUCTIONS Eryn was joined by Dame Pippa, Kate Winslet and Simon Farnaby Eryn From Brookeborough in County Fermanagh, previously told BBC News NI she doesn't visit the cinema often, as the nearby IMC in Enniskillen does not offer AD headsets. Eryn has loved the Magical Faraway Tree book series for years and was excited to experience the film adaptation. The nearest suitable cinema involved a 140-mile round trip. BBC News NI made several attempts to contact IMC Cinemas but it did not respond. Winslet read Eryn's story and shared it with the film's producer Dame Pippa Harris and screenwriter Simon Farnaby. They arranged a video call with Eryn in which Dame Pippa told her they hope to "create a bit of momentum and make sure that cinemas everywhere have got AD versions of all the movies so that everyone can see them and enjoy them". 'I recognised Kate's voice' The Oscar-winning actress entertained Eryn with stories about her life During the call, Eryn was introduced to a surprise guest - Winslet - and was almost left speechless. "I recognised her voice from the outset but it was just such a shock," she said. Winslet voiced the audiobooks, which Eryn said she had listened to many times. The actress said she was "thrilled" to speak to Eryn and "absolutely staggered" at the fact she had to travel so far to see the film. "We want to be able to support you as much as we can in doing that. So hopefully we can be a part of that and helping you make that change," Winslet told her. "I think anything that makes these experiences inclusive as possible, that's why we all make films." Calls for more audio description services Eryn also had a chance to speak to the film's producer Dame Pippa Harris And Winslet's humorous stories about her home life left Eryn surprised at how down to earth the Oscar winner is. "I thought she would be in a mansion or something" she said laughing. After the call Eryn shed tears of joy and hopes the support from the Hollywood star will help raise awareness of the need for audio description to be available in cinemas. "Obviously, Kate Winslet is very famous

The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, testifies before a Senate foreign relations committee hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

Photograph: Kylie Cooper/Reuters Rubio says Iran ready to discuss nuclear deal as Tehran declares peace talks over Secretary of state appears before Congress and repeats Trump administration’s claims that a deal is within reach Iran has agreed to negotiate aspects of its nuclear program that it had refused to discuss even a month ago, the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio , has claimed, even as Tehran announced it was halting peace talks and moving to fully close the strait of Hormuz. Appearing before the Senate foreign relations committee for the first time since the Trump administration launched the war against Iran – which was pitched as a short, weeks-long war, in February – Rubio repeated the Trump administration’s claims that a deal was within reach. He arrived on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, the morning after Iran’s state-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that Tehran would stop exchanging messages with Washington through intermediaries, pointing to Israel’s military operations in Lebanon as a ceasefire violation. “There is the prospect before us, which could happen today, it could happen tomorrow, it could happen next week – that for the first time, certainly in my memory, they have agreed to negotiate aspects of their nuclear program that just a month ago” they said they would not, Rubio told senators. Rubio also claimed that Mojtaba Khamenei – who succeeded his father Ali Khamenei after the supreme leader was killed in the opening US-Israeli strikes on 28 February, and has not been seen in public since assuming office – was alive, and more involved in the regime’s efforts. “I think there are indications out there that he is increasingly engaging at some level,” he said. On the military picture, Rubio suggested that Iran’s missile program had been “substantially degraded”, its launcher capacity reduced, and its drone-building capability “eroded”. “There is no Iranian navy,” he said. “It lies at the bottom of the ocean, and will soon, within a number of years, be prime fishing spots, because they’ll turn into reefs.” Rubio conceded the regime still has “a lot of drones”, however. “Because these are easy to make,” he said . “This is a pervasive problem around the world.” Such claims about the vast destruction of Iranian’s military capabilities have been contested. The New York Times reported in May that Iran had retained roughly 70% of its prewar missile stockpile, though analysts noted the more significant damage may be to Iran’s ability to replace them, with over 85% of Iran’s ballistic missile, drone, and naval defense industrial base damaged, or destroyed. Rubio laid out a two-phase framework in more granular terms than the admi

The number of pug registrations in the first three months of 2026 fell by 43% compared with the same period last year. Photograph: Anita Kot/Getty Images View image in fullscreen The number of pug registrations in the first three months of 2026 fell by 43% compared with the same period last year. Photograph: Anita Kot/Getty Images Vets welcome data indicating fall in UK popularity of flat-faced dog breeds Royal Kennel Club figures show significant declines in registrations of French bulldogs, bulldogs and pugs Squashed-face dogs including pugs and French bulldogs are declining in popularity, data suggests, with experts hopeful the trend reflects a growing awareness of the health problems such breeds face. According to breed registration statistics from the UK’s Royal Kennel Club (RKC), there were 1,400 registrations of French bulldogs in the first three months of 2026 – a 37% drop compared with the same period in 2025. Bulldog registrations dropped by 34% and pug registrations by 43%, with only 126 pugs registered in the first three months of 2026. The recent declines appear to be part of a larger trend. Pug registrations fell from 10,408 in 2016 to 834 in 2025. French bulldog registrations fell to 7,750 in 2025 from a high of 54,074 in 2021. The surge in popularity of flat-faced, or brachycephalic, breeds caused concerns among experts, and veterinary organisations and charities have run numerous campaigns to highlight the serious health issues such breeds are prone to as a result of their extreme body shapes. These range from skin disorders and eye ulcers to difficulties giving birth , spine abnormalities and breathing difficulties . Prof Dan O’Neill, of the Royal Veterinary College, suggested the decline in registrations reflected an end to the demand for flat-faced dogs in the UK, noting that other data had indicated the public were moving heavily towards owning poodle-cross designer dogs. “The British public are known as animal lovers and the new RKC breed data support this view,” he said. “After a decade of evidence generation and campaigning by the Royal Veterinary College along with the RKC, charities, veterinary organisations and many other welfare groups, to show the dramatically shortened lives and high health burden in dog breeds with extreme flat faces, the British public are now responding by rejecting ownership of these breeds, despite the dogs themselves often having lovely temperaments. “As well as the unnecessary suffering often endured by the dogs themselves, issues such as high financial costs from their frequent health problems along with the human heartbreak and guilt from watching these extreme flat-faced dogs often gasp to breathe or die early are likely to contribute to reduced ownership demand.” The RKC suggested the fall in registration figures reflected growing awareness about responsible breeding and ownership of such breeds.

Shot-putter Abdullah Hayayei was killed when a metal cage collapsed as he prepared for the World Athletics Championships in 2017. He had previously represented the United Arab Emirates at the Rio Paralympics when he competed in the javelin and shotput. Judge Richard Marks KC described Mr Hayayei's death as "tragic, untimely and wholly avoidable." He also handed UKA's former Head of Sport 79-year-old Keith Davies a 175-hour community service order after hearing how he was in charge of the equipment, which had been assembled with vital base plates missing.

Photograph: Frederic J Brown/AFP via Getty Images ‘We want fans to know the risks’: US immigrant rights groups mobilize across World Cup host cities amid ICE fears More than 120 groups issued warning to 10 million visitors about ‘serious rights violations’ under Trump With the Fifa World Cup just two weeks away, immigrant rights advocates in the 11 US host cities are mobilizing to protect fans and residents from immigration enforcement activities this summer. In Los Angeles, a labor union representing more than 2,000 hospitality workers at SoFi Stadium is threatening to strike if agents do not stay away from the venue, which is expected to draw about 70,000 fans per match. In Dallas, the civil rights group El Movimiento DFW is handing out hundreds of whistle kits – including information on how to obtain a free consultation with an immigration attorney – at churches, businesses and apartment complexes in case US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents begin detaining people near matches. More than 120 civil society groups have even issued a travel warning to the 10 million potential visitors about “serious rights violations” under the current political climate, including “arbitrary denial of entry and risk of arrest, detention and/or deportation”. The world’s largest sporting event, which kicks off on 11 June, arrives at a cataclysmic moment in the US: amid Donald Trump’s large-scale, aggressive immigration crackdown, at least 18 people have died this year in ICE custody and multiple US citizens have been killed. Immigration activists say they have received conflicting reports about the presence and role of ICE agents at the World Cup: Trump administration officials have not ruled out the possibility of arrests near the games, despite assurances from the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, that ICE would not operate inside stadiums. “The Department of Homeland Security is working around the clock with federal, state, local and international partners to ensure a safe and secure environment for players, fans and communities hosting these events,” said Lauren Bis, the Department of Homeland Security acting assistant secretary. “The safety and security of the American people and the millions of visitors attending these events remain our highest priority.” In response, organizers are staying vigilant on multiple fronts, bolstering rapid response networks and legal aid resources. “We know that soccer is something many in the Latino immigrant community grew up playing or watching,” said Christine Bolaños, communications director at Workers Defense Action Fund, one of the signa

Photograph: US navy/Navcent public affairs/AFP/Getty Images Iran targets American base in region after US strikes Iranian air defences Attacks reported in Kuwait – home to a US military base – and around the strait of Hormuz in latest exchange of fire as peace negotiations continue Middle East live – latest updates The US said it struck Iranian military sites at the weekend and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said on Monday it had targeted a US base in response, the latest in a series of exchanges amid negotiations to end the three-month-old war. The strikes on Iran’s Gulf coast were in response to “aggressive Iranian actions that included the shootdown of a US MQ-1 drone that was operating over international waters”, the US military’s central command (Centcom) said on X. “US fighter aircraft swiftly responded by eliminating Iranian air defences, a ground control station and two one-way attack drones that posed clear threats to ships transiting regional waters,” Centcom said, adding it would continue to protect US assets and interests during the ongoing ceasefire. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Monday it had targeted an air base used by the US for an attack on southern Iran, without identifying which base. Air defences in Kuwait , where a major US base is located, were intercepting missile and drone attacks on Monday as sirens sounded across the country, the state news agency Kuna reported, without providing further details. Could Trump’s Iran ‘excursion’ be a bigger global turning point than Vietnam? Read more The US and Iran have sporadically exchanged strikes since their ceasefire took effect in early April as negotiations aimed at a more durable agreement drag on. A similar exchange occurred last Thursday and was described in similar terms by both sides. The war launched by the US and Israel on 28 February has killed thousands of people – mainly in Iran and Lebanon – and caused global economic pain by pushing up energy prices due to Iran’s effective closure of the strait of Hormuz . The US president, Donald Trump, has said one key aim in the war is to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon with its highly enriched uranium. Tehran has consistently denied it has plans to do that. Trump is under pressure to reopen the strait of Hormuz and get US fuel costs down ahead of the November congressional elections, as voters show increasing frustration over rising prices. At the same time, he faces a potential backlash from Iran hawks in his own party over any concessions to Tehran. The two sides remain at odds on several other issues,

The government says the move to shared NHS patient records could save £20m a year. Photograph: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images View image in fullscreen The government says the move to shared NHS patient records could save £20m a year. Photograph: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images Shared NHS patient records could cut 20,000 A&E visits a year, ministers claim Modernisation bill would require GPs and hospitals in England to share data, reducing errors and duplication Sharing access to patients’ health data across NHS providers in England could result in 20,000 fewer A&E visits a year and save £20m annually, the government has claimed, before the second reading of the NHS modernisation bill on Monday. The bill, which would also abolish NHS England , sets out measures including single patient records (SPR) for every person receiving health and social care in England, requiring GPs and hospitals to securely share data as part of the government’s 10-year health plan. Combining SPRs with virtual care would reduce A&E attendances for frail patients by about 10,000 a year, with another 10,000 fewer visits as a result of fewer misdiagnoses. This would save doctors about 500,000 hours a year, according to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). The DHSC also predicts 6,000 fewer hospital admissions a year based on the avoided A&E attendances, better heart failure management and improved mental health care. The £20m savings would come through reducing medication errors, adverse drug reactions and duplicate prescribing. The bill sets out a legislative framework for the targeted measures. Maternity and frailty care are expected to benefit from 2027. All NHS providers, including hospitals and GPs, would share data so medical professionals could see a patient’s medical history without the need for patients to keep repeating their issues unnecessarily. The change would join up community services and help people manage their conditions. Patients would have more control over their care, with clear safeguards, audit trails and choice over how their data was used. Social care records and those from private healthcare providers working on behalf of the NHS would also be included. At present, GPs are the data controllers for their patients’ records and can share them with third parties for research purposes. It is likely the DHSC will also become a data controller for the GP records when they are shared into the system. The British Medical Association has called for doctors to remain in control of GP data rather than the DHSC. Its GP committee has warned any move to take control of data away from GPs would damage trust and risk confidentiality. The system would have security and privacy by design baked in, which should allow anyone to see who has accessed an SPR, with existing clinical protocols governing what gets shared into the record. The bill abolishes NHS England , transferring its functions to the DHSC and cutting layers of bureaucracy. It will give effect to a
