Ford's European executive Martin Sander told the Financial Times on Tuesday that the company is ready to limit the sale of traditional petrol models in the United Kingdom to meet electric vehicle targets set by the country. This decision would likely increase prices for consumers, he said.

"We can't push EVs into the market against demand […] We’re not going to pay penalties, we are not going to sell EVs at huge losses just to buy compliance. The only alternative is to take our shipments of [engine] vehicles to the UK down and sell these vehicles somewhere else," Sander told the media.

He expressed uncertainty about how UK consumers would react to potential price increases for traditional engine vehicles.

Since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has suffered heavy losses on the battlefield. A BBC investigation confirmed the names of more than 50,000 Russian troops killed in Ukraine - but the real number is likely to be much higher. Ukraine's own estimate puts the number of Russian soldiers killed or wounded in the war at nearly 500,000.

Recruiting foreigners to replace some of the losses also helps the Kremlin avoid the risks posed by trying to mobilise Russians by force. When Russia declared a partial mobilisation in 2022, hundreds of thousands of men left the country.

Bringing Cubans into Russia is relatively straightforward. The two countries have been allies since the Cold War, Cubans do not need a visa to travel to Russia and direct flights to Moscow make the trip easier.

Meanwhile, lucrative army contracts offered by Russia appeal to Cuban men desperate to escape the worsening economic crisis on the US-sanctioned island.

Documents leaked online and media reports suggest Cuban men are offered monthly payments in the region of $2,000 (£1,600) per month - a huge sum for Cuba, where the average monthly salary is under $25 (£20).

The promise of Russian citizenship may also entice some Cubans.

The BBC's polling expert John Curtice expects Labour's Sadiq Khan to win the London mayoral race

The result is not confirmed - but based on early results, Curtice expects Khan to win by around 10 percentage points

The final result could come around 16:30 - most areas so far have gone Khan's way

Stars are giant balls of hot gas – mostly hydrogen, with some helium and small amounts of other elements.

There are approximately 200 billion trillion stars in the universe.

In the areas that we already have final counts for, not only is Khan ahead, he's actually increased his share of the vote.
