UK agrees to give France £480m to tackle small boat crossings Rishi Sunak arriving in Paris, promising a new beginning. His predecessor couldn't say if Emmanuel Macron was a true ally. It's France's offender faux prime minister. This new prime minister in little doubt. The warmest of handshakes in the courtyard of the Elysees Palace. This is the first summit of its kind since 2018. Both leaders keen to show the world that this is a diplomatic bromance. A brief pose for the cameras, but soon alone together. The president and prime minister spent an hour in talks with no aides or officials in the room. Top of the agenda, small boats crossing the channel. In the last decade the UK has given over £250 million in funding to French authorities and they still keep coming. Rishi Sunak believes his predecessors took the wrong approach. If we're honest, the relationship betwee...

Emergency coal power used for Britain's coldest night of the year

Image
Emergency coal power used for Britain's coldest night of the year As the coldest night of the year approaches, Britain is shivering. Arctic air dropping down from the north and set to stay for days. It's putting pressure on our electricity system, the national grid, for the first time this winter, activating emergency coal units that have been standing by in case of a shortage. The challenge we often face on very cold days is getting through the short but intense period of demand as everyone gets home from work and school. That's millions of households putting the kettle on, turning the heating up and making an evening meal all at the same time. When it's windy, we usually make more than enough power to cover that, but right now it's relatively still. Imports from Europe via subsea connectors can also help, but France, a major partner, has had limited supplies beca...

Image
Ukraine War: 'Executed' soldier video could be a war crime President Zelensky has promised that Ukraine will find the Russians allegedly responsible for shooting dead an unarmed Ukrainian soldier. Footage emerged online yesterday, purportedly showing the killing and a warning that we're about to show the moments leading up to that incident. In it, an unarmed man is seen smoking a cigarette before saying, Glory to Ukraine. The man is then shot repeatedly. Sky News has been unable to independently verify the location and date of the footage. But Ukraine says the man killed is thought to be Ukrainian serviceman called Timofey Shadora, who went missing in the area around the heavily contested city of Bakhmut in early February. A video appeared today showing how the occupiers brutally killed a soldier who bravely said to their face, Glory to Ukraine. I want all of us together...

Food Shortage: Farmers 'can't bear' extra costs

Food Shortage: Farmers 'can't bear' extra costs Depleted by drought, last summer's heat waves are still biting, this time into food supplies. Having much less water in the bank at this time of year means that we have had to reduce our irrigated cropping area by 25 per cent for this next growing season. Andrews scaled back his vegetable crops, with other farmers doing the same amid warnings of more shortages to come. The cost of production has increased almost exponentially, which is a massive challenge. Many businesses just can't bear that extra cost and they just can't take that risk. So we're really calling on the retailers to pay at least what it costs to produce, plus some form of margin to make it more sustainable and to encourage us to continue to produce food in the UK. Severe weather overseas is already disrupting supplies. Supermarkets are ration...
