GB News: Keir Starmer will 'cling on until his fingernails bleed' despite viral petition: 'He won't go quietly!'
Political commentator Carole Malone criticized Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for his refusal to step down amid growing public dissatisfaction and a petition for a new general election that has garnered over 2.5 million signatures. She believes Starmer is disconnected from the needs of the British people and is harming businesses and farmers with his policies.
Malone dismissed Deputy Leader Angela Rayner as a viable alternative and highlighted Starmer's declining approval ratings, which have dropped significantly since his election. She accused the government of creating a "tyrannical police state" and failing to address pressing issues affecting citizens.

The Economist: How the best British employers find and promote their staff
Schroders, a prominent British fund manager, is shifting its hiring practices by prioritizing skills over traditional academic credentials. The firm is now open to candidates without degrees, particularly those with expertise in IT and data analysis, moving away from its historical preference for Oxbridge graduates.
This trend reflects a broader change in the job market, where employers are increasingly valuing practical skills over formal education. As companies adapt to the evolving landscape, they are recognizing the importance of diverse talent sources.
Times Of Israel: Egypt says 16 missing after tourist yacht capsizes in stormy Red Sea
A tourist yacht named "Sea Story" capsized in the Red Sea, leaving 16 people missing, including 12 foreigners and 4 Egyptians. Of the 31 individuals on board, 28 were rescued following a distress call. The incident is under investigation, with initial reports suggesting a large wave caused the capsizing.
The yacht had embarked on a diving trip and was due to dock later this week. Previous similar accidents in the region have raised concerns about safety regulations, which are often unevenly enforced despite being robust. The tourism sector is crucial to Egypt's economy, employing millions.
GB News: War on woke as Walmart stops selling chest binders and trans books in DEI crackdown
Walmart will cease selling books and items related to transgenderism aimed at children as part of a significant shift in its diversity policies. The company plans to phase out the terms "diversity, equity, and inclusion" and restrict LGBTQ-themed products on its platform.
This change follows a campaign by activist Robby Starbuck, although Walmart states these adjustments have been in progress for years. The company aims to foster inclusivity while responding to evolving customer and associate needs.
GB News: Supreme Court to make landmark ruling as judges decide if 'trans women are women'
The Supreme Court is set to rule on whether "trans women are women" under the 2010 Equality Act, following a challenge by For Women Scotland against Scottish legislation that mandates 50% female representation on public boards. The group argues that including trans women undermines the definition of a woman.
The Scottish Government maintains that a woman includes those with a full gender recognition certificate. The outcome could have significant implications for sex-based rights and single-sex services, as well as the broader understanding of gender and representation.

Front Page Magazine: UN Has Only One Chopper to Flee Haiti
The United Nations is facing criticism for its ineffective response to the crisis in Haiti, where it is now evacuating personnel amid escalating violence. Despite claims of commitment, the UN's reliance on a single helicopter for evacuations highlights its inadequate planning and resources.
As the UN draws down its presence, officials insist they will continue humanitarian efforts, yet skepticism remains due to the organization's history of failed interventions. A proposed alternative suggests reallocating UN funds to directly provide aid to the Haitian people.
Times Of Israel: Officials hope Lebanon truce will isolate Hamas, pave way to deal in Gaza
Israel is nearing approval of a 60-day ceasefire in Lebanon, which observers hope will facilitate truce efforts in Gaza amid ongoing conflict with Hamas. Hezbollah has dropped its previous condition linking its ceasefire to the war in Gaza, potentially isolating Hamas and prompting a shift in negotiations.
Israeli officials believe that cutting Hezbollah's support could lead to a more favorable position for Israel in talks with Hamas, which has faced significant military setbacks. A ceasefire in Lebanon may catalyze discussions for a hostage deal in Gaza, although Hamas remains firm on its demands.

Times Of Israel: Israel announces preliminary work on fence along entire border with Jordan
Israel's Defense Ministry has initiated plans to construct a fence along its entire 309-kilometer border with Jordan to prevent infiltrations. This project, ordered by Defense Minister Israel Katz, aims to enhance security amid concerns over gun and drug smuggling, which have contributed to violence in Israel.
The planning phase will involve environmental assessments and soil surveys, costing tens of millions of shekels and expected to last several months. Past attempts to upgrade border defenses have faced challenges, and the new initiative reflects ongoing security concerns, particularly following recent infiltration incidents.
