UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s moment of peril | BBC News

Published

on



British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has had a tumultuous week, fighting for his political survival.

He has seen off a challenge to his leadership following repeated criticism over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson – who had close ties with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – as the UK’s ambassador to the US.

Starmer faced pressure to resign from high profile figures in his ruling Labour party, including from the Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar.

Two members of the prime minister’s team, his chief of staff and director of communications have also stood down.

However, in a turn of fate, Keir Starmer won over senior ministers and MPs saying he was ‘not prepared to walk away’.

But is he out of danger?

Our political correspondent Rob Watson gave us the background.

Trump: US has seized Iranian cargo ship on eve of peace talks | BBC News

Published

on



The US has intercepted and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship attempting to get past its blockade of Iran’s ports, according to US President Donald Trump.

He said the ship was given “fair warning to stop” in the Gulf of Oman but refused, so the navy “stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room”.

Earlier it was confirmed that a US delegation led by the Vice President JD Vance will be In Pakistan for a new round of peace talks with Iran. However Iran has not confirmed that it will be participating in the talks.

Trump has again threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and bridges if they do not reach a deal with the US, including reopening the strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Lyse Doucet in Iran and Simi Jolaoso in Washington.
