Photograph: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images View image in fullscreen Microsoft has announced a series of new measures that include changes to how the company oversees employees with security clearances issued by foreign governments. Photograph: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg via Getty Images Microsoft to tighten human rights measures after inquiry into Israel’s use of its tech Announcement seeks to close a difficult chapter for the company after the Guardian revealed its platform was used in mass surveillance of Palestinians Microsoft has said it will tighten human rights controls when working with national security agencies after an inquiry into how the Israeli military used its cloud technology for the mass surveillance of Palestinians. On Thursday, Microsoft announced the completion of the inquiry and a series of new measures that include changes to how the company oversees employees with security clearances issued by foreign governments. Microsoft ordered the inquiry last year in response to a Guardian investigation with Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and Hebrew-language outlet Local Call revealing how the Israeli military used the company’s cloud to store a vast trove of intercepted Palestinian phone calls. Shortly after the inquiry was launched, Microsoft terminated the military’s access to cloud and AI services used to support the surveillance project after initial findings showed its spy agency, Unit 8200, had violated the company’s terms of service. In a summary of the inquiry’s outcome , Microsoft said its “factual findings remain the same” and it would adopt a series of recommendations intended to improve the “effectiveness of our human rights governance”. Described as a “final update” on the situation, the announcement attempts to draw a line under a challenging episode for Microsoft that placed a spotlight on the role played by its technology in the Israeli military’s bombardment of Gaza and operations in the occupied West Bank. The Guardian investigation last year found Unit 8200 had used Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform to operate an indiscriminate system that allowed its intelligence officers to collect, play back and analyse the content of millions of Palestinian cellular phone calls every day. The revelations prompted concerns at a senior level within Microsoft that some employees at its Israeli subsidiary had not been fully transparent with headquarters about their knowledge of how Unit 8200 used the company’s technology. Sources familiar with the inquiry said it had examined how some of Microsoft’s Tel Aviv-based employees had felt conflicting loyalties between their obligations to the company and their support for the Israeli military following Hamas-led 7 October attacks on southern Israel. Last month, Microsoft said the head of its Israel

Reform supporters are more likely to be older, male and with fewer qualifications, the survey found. Photograph: Sean Smith/The Guardian View image in fullscreen Reform supporters are more likely to be older, male and with fewer qualifications, the survey found. Photograph: Sean Smith/The Guardian Reform UK support could plateau as it relies on socially conservative views, study finds Party could struggle to push ratings as strategy increasingly focuses on views held by minority of voters, research finds Reform UK is becoming increasingly reliant on socially conservative views for political support, and therefore could struggle to push its poll ratings much higher, a large-scale research project led by the leading psephologist John Curtice has found. A study of Nigel Farage’s party carried out as part of the British Social Attitudes report found that while Reform supporters were disproportionately more likely to be unhappy with politicians and public services, recent recruits had seemingly more robust attitudes in areas such as diversity and welfare. Given such views were only held by a minority of voters, Curtice said, it was possible support for Reform might plateau close to its current percentage range in the mid- to high-20s. “Something like 30% looks like not an absolute ceiling, but they are unlikely to rise much above that given the character of the campaign issues that they are emphasising,” said Curtice, who is a fellow of the National Centre for Social Research, which has organised the annual British Social Attitudes project since 1983. “I suspect that given its current political strategy, that is probably a ceiling,” he added, while saying that given the current fragmentation of party political support, this might still be enough to win a general election under the current first-past-the-post system. This importance of social and cultural issues also meant that while Keir Starmer had argued the importance of improving services, such as the NHS, in countering populism, that alone would be unlikely to stop Reform’s rise, Curtice argued. He said: “Given the very sharp ideological distinctiveness, while improving the state of country will help, it may not be enough.” This year’s survey, which put questions to more than 4,600 people across the UK, examined the unifying characteristics of people who say they support Reform. Reform supporters are more likely to have voted for Brexit and be older, male and with fewer qualifications, it found, while just 9% of graduates back the party, against 40% of those with qualifications below A-level standard. A striking thread for Reform supporters was mistrust in politicians and the ability of government to improve things, including higher levels of dissatisfaction with the NHS and a greater tendency to agree with statements such as: “Politicians talk too much and take too little action.” They were also more likely to be worried about their own personal circumstances, particularly their finances.

Photograph: Adam Ferguson/The Guardian Peter Garrett to head independent inquiry into the Aukus submarine pact Exclusive: Former Labor minister will lead the community-based investigation and report in October Peter Garrett on why Australians deserve the truth about Aukus – Full Story podcast Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Former environment minister Peter Garrett will lead an independent inquiry into the Aukus defence pact, launched by a group of Labor veterans and public figures concerned proper scrutiny has never been applied to the $368bn defence plan . Garrett, the Midnight Oil frontman and longtime environmental campaigner, will be the lead commissioner on the five-month community-based investigation, being launched on Tuesday. It will hold public hearings and take written submissions before delivering a final report by 30 October. Labor agreed to support the deal for Australia to acquire nuclear submarines in collaboration with the United States and the United Kingdom, negotiated under the former Morrison government and announced in 2021. As part of the agreement, Australia is funding upgrades to the US defence industrial base and will start receiving secondhand nuclear submarines in 2032. Sign up for the Breaking News Australia email The UK parliament held a year-long review into the trilateral partnership and, after an inquiry by the Pentagon in 2025, US President Donald Trump agreed to support it . But some within Labor, including former prime minister Paul Keating, as well as civil society groups believe Aukus is not in Australia’s best interest. Garrett said the new inquiry – supported by trade unions and non-profit organisations – will consider if the subs can be delivered on time and on budget, how nuclear waste will be managed and if Australia’s defence and strategic interests are well served by the deal. He has previously lashed Aukus, saying the plan “stinks” and represents “the most costly and risky action ever taken by any Australian government”. “This inquiry is doing the job that a proper parliamentary inquiry should be doing,” Garrett told Guardian Australia. “How is it that there’s been inquiries about the submarine program in other countries and we haven’t had a full parliamentary inquiry here?” A group of commissioners will be named to lead the inquiry, convened under the auspices of the Australian Peace and Security Forum. Critical to its deliberations will be the rise of China and the prospect of conflict in the Indo-Pacific region. Nuclear non-proliferation issues, employment and environmental consequences are also among the inquiry’s terms-of-reference. Despite the Albanese government ex

To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. This video can not be played Figure caption, Anthony Joshua says 'This isn't about me' By Kal Sajad BBC Sport boxing journalist at Exhibition White City, London Published 15 minutes ago Anthony Joshua says he is standing strong "as a soldier" for the parents of two close friends killed in a car crash as the British heavyweight prepares for his return to boxing. The two-time world champion was a passenger in the car when Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele died in Nigeria in December . In his first fight since the accident, in which Joshua sustained minor injuries, he will face the relatively unknown Albanian Kristian Prenga in Riyadh on 25 July. "You never overcome it but you gain perspective in life," Joshua, 36, told the 5 Live Boxing podcast. "Life is humbling at times. You never know one's fate. As a soldier, I stand strong for their parents first and foremost. "This isn't about me. I feel it's important to put their parents first at the minute. "I'll have my time to grieve. But right now, my heart and mind tell me their parents are my main priority." The 2012 Olympic gold medallist was speaking before Monday's news conference in London where he came face-to-face with Prenga for the first time. Victory would clear the path for a long-awaited showdown against Tyson Fury later this year. For more than a decade, Joshua and Fury have been the defining figures of British heavyweight boxing on the global stage, yet have never shared a ring. An agreement is in place and both fighters are expected to earn career-high purses when they finally meet, with October or November the likely target dates. But the fight will only materialise if Joshua takes care of business against Prenga. Fury, meanwhile, is also understood to be planning an interim bout, potentially in Dublin on 1 August against an opponent yet to be named. Fury hints at August fight in Dublin Published 5 days ago Dua Lipa declines offer to perform at Fury v Joshua Published 1 May 'Joshua warm-up defeat would scupper Fury fight' Published 29 April 'Joshua's world came crashing down' Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Anthony Joshua last fought against Jake Paul in December, a victory which left him with 29 wins from 33 professional fights Promoter Eddie Hearn told the 5 Live Boxing podcast that Joshua was "happy and excited about 2026" after December's victory against Jake Paul , and that plans had been in place to fight Rico Verhoeven in March before taking on Fury in August. But 10 days later the crash happened. "And then obviously the world came crashing down," Hearn added. When the news conference began, the conversation understandably shifted towards the task ahead. Wearing a tracksuit and sunglasses, Joshua spoke about a renewed sense of focus. "I've still got that fire and I belong here," Joshua added, appearing relaxed and in good spirits. "I don't do this as a joke. I do this because it's what I'm good at. I'm
