Children aged 17 or younger will face a lifelong ban on buying cigarettes in the UK, as the Tobacco and Vapes Bill clears Parliament.
Both the Commons and Lords have settled on a final draft of the “landmark” legislation, which aims to stop anyone born after 1 January 2009 from taking up smoking by making it illegal for shops to sell them tobacco, to create a smoke-free generation.
When it gets royal assent, ministers will also have new powers to regulate tobacco, vaping and nicotine products, including their flavours and packaging.
It is part of a series of measures aimed at tackling the health effects of smoking, one of the UK’s leading causes of preventable death, disability and ill health.

The King has arrived to meet President Trump for the US state visit. His arrival comes as security concerns are heightened after a shooting during the White House correspondents dinner on Saturday.
The visit is also happening at a time when the Prime Minister is having trouble at home. Sir Keir Starmer is set to face a vote by MPs on whether there should be an inquiry over his claims about the vetting of Lord Mandelson.
What’s in store for the King and can the trip help ‘repair’ relations between the US and the UK, and Starmer’s image at home?
Adam is joined by political correspondent Joe Pike, chief North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue and royal reporter Sean Coughlan.

I love Big Ben, it is England’s landmark, is sad to know the building around it is falling apart and could at any time go up in flames. 🤦🏻♂️

Big Ben is now 163 years old
And it was built on Tuesday 31st May 1859.

I don't really know about anyone else but for myself, the new colour scheme on the clockface is going to take quite a bit of getting used to with the gold and the Prussian blue paint.
I am aware of the reasons why it was painted like this as it's how it was originally but it's the first time in my own lifetime that I have saw it painted in these colours as opposed to how it was before restoration work began last decade.
I know that it's a form of Blue paint called Prussian Blue but it does look like a form of Purple at first glance.
Still, a nice change if a bit weird.🥴

Can we know why the visit of BigBen is forbidden to foreign tourists ?
Is it related to terrorist risks or other reasons ?

1:36 Can we stop this annoying visual cliche of starting a shot all blurry and coming into focus? Just start the shot in focus. Waiting for it to come in to focus is like the internet of 20 years ago and waiting for a photo to download and slowly get clearer, its dumb

Imagine travelling to London in the old days through pokey little villages and over rolling hills, having never seen anything higher than a few stories and then you get to the capital city and see that beautiful clocktower, would be a sight to behold
