Le Monde: Pakistan: Four security forces killed as Khan supporters flood capital
Protests in Islamabad demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan turned violent, resulting in the deaths of four security personnel. The government has condemned the protests as extremism, citing clashes between demonstrators and police, leading to a lockdown of the capital.
Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party is protesting against his legal troubles and alleged electoral rigging. The government has faced criticism for its heavy-handed response, including internet outages and roadblocks, while the U.S. State Department called for restraint from both protesters and authorities.

GB News: Khan's rent-controlled homes meant for 'key workers' on 'ordinary incomes' will be available to solicitors, barristers and actors
London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced plans for 6,000 new rent-controlled homes by 2030, targeting professionals like solicitors and barristers with household incomes under £67,000. The initiative aims to address the city's housing crisis affecting ordinary earners.
However, the UK government has no plans to grant the Mayor rent control powers. Critics argue that similar measures in Scotland led to increased rents, while supporters believe it could provide affordable housing for essential workers.

A new bank holiday may be introduced next year to mark the 80th anniversary of World War Two's conclusion, with a four-day celebration planned for either May or August. This event will honor the sacrifices of veterans, of whom only around 70,000 remain.
Veteran Geoff Roberts emphasized the importance of remembering those who fought for freedom and peace in Europe, suggesting that the holiday could serve as a reminder of the past.
