MOSKOU (ANP/RTR/AFP) - Het Russische ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken heeft de Britse zaakgelastigde in Moskou ontboden. Rusland is boos over nieuwe Britse wapenleveringen aan Oekraïne.

Het Verenigd Koninkrijk steunt Oekraïne al jaren met wapenleveringen en financiële steun. Ook nadat Andy Burnham afgelopen juli het premierschap had overgenomen van Keir Starmer, benadrukte Burnham dat zijn land "100 procent" achter Oekraïne bleef staan. Eerder deze maand maakte de regering een nieuw steunpakket bekend voor met name drones en hulp bij de luchtverdediging tegen Russische luchtaanvallen.

Moskou spreekt van een "voortdurende escalatie" door de Britse leveringen. Volgens de Russen zouden de Britten op deze manier de oorlog alleen maar verlengen.

Campaigning or control of Congress is expected to ramp up as some states open early voting

The Trump administration has started sending a majority of undocumented children who came to the US alone and have new immigration court cases to Texas, where government facilities for them are unlicensed, their chances of getting a lawyer are low and advocates fear that “a deportation churn-out factory” awaits them, the Guardian has learned.

Almost 80% of children in federal custody who arrived unaccompanied by a parent or legal guardian and who were placed in immigration court proceedings in July – and over 90% in August – have been funneled into shelter networks somewhere in Texas, a dramatic upswing from the months prior, according to analysis shared exclusively with the Guardian from researchers at the immigration data insights platform bklg.org.

This scandal shows there are many who don’t expect us to live rich lives – and that paternalism lives on in disability services

• Disabled people in UK need right to travel abroad, say MPs, after ‘ridiculous’ restrictions

Disabled people are being barred from leaving the country. This isn’t the first line of a dystopian novel but a scandal quietly happening across swathes of England. For the past six months, myself and my colleague Patrick Butler have spoken to disabled people who have effectively been blocked from going abroad on a holiday or to a work event by their local care provider.

There’s 38-year-old Lucy from Oxfordshire who needs to travel internationally as the president of the European Spinal Cord Injury Federation. And Chelsea from Lancashire, a 25-year-old with cerebral palsy who dreams of swimming in Spain again. Then there’s 40-year-old Joel*, who has a muscle weakness and works for a global marketing brand but hasn’t been able to leave the UK for nine years.

Campaigners describe ‘brazenly discriminatory’ practices around funding from NHS care boards

• UK politics live – latest updates

Disabled people must have a guaranteed right to travel abroad, MPs and peers have said, as further cases emerged of individuals barred from taking holidays as a result of “ridiculous” rules imposed by local NHS care boards and local councils.

Leading figures have called on the government to bring in clear national guidelines to ensure people who require full-time personal assistants (PAs) are not prevented from using funding for their 24/7 support team for breaks and work trips.

Northern Roots is launching Britain’s biggest urban farm and eco-park, in an effort to boost people’s health and wellbeing

Standing in the open green space of Northern Roots, it is hard to imagine the landscape as it once was.

Two cotton mills, two coalmines and an industrial railway once occupied this 65-hectare (160-acre) site in Oldham, Greater Manchester. Later, about 24 hectares became a tip, with much of the space left to nature.

Tech bosses have called for a slowdown in artificial intelligence and formal guardrails to be introduced by the US government. But President Trump is not moved by the doomsday predictions, calling them a ‘hoax'.

Omar and Jamal Ikram, 21-year-old brothers, are making lo-fi glitchy dance-pop with the melodic sensibilities of Bollywood music

You, like me, may be growing tired of the 2020s’ so-called “indie sleaze” revival, which has so far yielded a few good parties and not that much good music. But the music of the Twins – Aldershot-born brothers Omar and Jamal Ikram – is made of sturdier stuff. The 21-year-olds are progenitors of a sound they call “Bollywood electronic” – a strain of loud, lo-fi, ultra-glitchy dance-pop that sounds like 2hollis if his songs were heavy with screwy samples of south Asian pop. Their debut album, last year’s Turmeric, captures the still-potent appeal of Jai Paul’s classic Str8 Outta Mumbai – which fused the lackadaisical sheen of 2010s electronic pop with the shining rhythmic and melodic sensibilities of Bollywood music – and, as is de rigueur for the contemporary era, makes it bolshie and frenetic, taking in the euphoric aggression of early Skrillex and unnerving noise of Aphex Twin.

Turmeric was a minor hit, thanks in part to Fuckersby, a collaboration with on-the-rise British rapper Fakemink, as well as the Twins’ monthly NTS show, also called Turmeric, which turns one this month. (Its combination of classic British pop stars such as Lily Allen, Punjabi artists such as Sukshinder Shinda, and contemporary electronic acts the Hellp and Sophia Stel gives it the feeling of a late-night pirate radio station totally out of time and place.) The duo’s follow-up EP There&Back, released in May, polishes up the Twins’ sound a little, but not that much – if anything, their collaborations with Rada and Varg2TM on There&Back are even louder and wilder than anything on Turmeric. The duo’s future plans aren’t clear, but their mission is: “We don’t want brown kids to feel like they have to fit into anything,” Jamal said in an interview. “People are always gonna try to label what you’re doing, but you don’t have to move like that.” Shaad D’Souza

Hundreds of cars driven through cones or barriers in England this year, says National Highways

Drivers ignoring roadwork closures to skip queues are putting lives at risk, National Highways has warned, after recording hundreds of incidents this year where cars were deliberately driven through cones or barriers.

The agency, which manages motorways and major roads, said there was increasing concern about incursions into closed-off roadworks and the danger they posed.

Er zijn: ontwikkelingen in de zaak van Alfredo Goeloe, die overleed nadat hij na een achtervolging door de politie die op zoek was naar een gestolen fatbike werd gearresteerd. Het OM meldt in een persbericht dat Goeloe te hard reed op zijn fatbike die niet was gestolen, én vertelt ondertussen aan het AD dat Goeloe drugs op zak had, wat eerder al aan de T. was gelekt. Maar: "Of dit enkel voor eigen gebruik of meer was, wil de woordvoerder niet zeggen." Wel was het "meer dan de toegestane hoeveelheid", zegt het OM dan weer tegen NU.nl, wat dus officieel meer dan alleen voor eigen gebruik is. Vaag, wel. Hoe dan ook, je mag niet te hard rijden op een fatbike, dus logisch dat je dan door de politie wordt aangehouden, zeker als je er vervolgens vandoor gaat. Naar wat er daarna gebeurde, wordt nog volop onderzoek gedaan. "Op basis van de voorlopige bevindingen van de patholoog kan de doodsoorzaak op dit moment nog niet worden vastgesteld."
