Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) reported first-quarter profits slightly ahead of expectations despite lower income and higher costs, with no extra charges against the ongoing regulatory probe into the motor finance sector.

Guidance for the full year was maintained, with margins expected to tighten further but not enough to prevent further shareholder returns.

The UK’s largest lender delivered an underlying profit of £1.76 billion for the first three months of 2024, just above flat compared to the preceding quarter, down 26% year-on-year but slightly higher than the £1.73 billion average analyst forecast.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad expressed confidence in Russia's ability to emerge victorious in the conflict in Ukraine.

In an interview with Russia's Channel One, Assad denounced what he described as the goals of "Ukrainian Nazis" and predicted that Russia would prevail, bringing together the fraternal peoples once again.

He clarified that Russia aims to correct the course of history rather than rewrite it entirely. Additionally, Assad defended Russia's actions, asserting that it stands against Western interference in other nations' internal affairs and contributes to global stability, drawing parallels between Russia's efforts in Syria and Ukraine.
