Having the European Medicines Agency HQ leave King's Cross to Amsterdam in March 2019 was disastrous to the Life Sciences; nearly as bad as cutting the City of London out of Europe's financial markets. Two of the most valuable parts of the economy were sacrificed to keep the Conservatives in power and to kill the threat from Farage.

That worked out well...

Sir Patrick Vallance, Sir Keir Starmer’s new science minister:

“Brexit was definitely a problem for science. We were part of a very successful European funding scheme with very large collaborations, right the way across Europe which took a setback. And we had to leave that scheme."

Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides stressed on Saturday that reunification of the island is the only viable path forward. The remarks were made as the Mediterranean island country marks its 50th anniversary since Turkish forces invaded the island.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, currently visiting the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, expressed doubts about continuing the United Nations-led negotiations on the issue, underlining Ankara's readiness to sit down with the Greek Cypriot side to seek a "lasting peace."

The Greek Foreign Ministry reaffirmed Athens' commitment to the solution of a "bi-zonal, bi-communal federation" in Cyprus.

United States National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan remarked on Friday at the Aspen Security Forum that the world can "expect to see additional sanctions, measures" against China over its support for Russia.

"The larger picture continues to travel in the wrong direction," Sullivan mentioned, underlining that Beijing remains one of the major dual-use items providers for Russia.

Talking more on the subject of sanctions, the US official added that Washington plans to use them "against banks that help Russia's war machine."

How do they get all this footage inside secret Russia?

Disruption to GPs caused by a global IT outage may continue into the coming week, NHS England has said.

A spokesman for the health service told the BBC that digital systems for GPs and pharmacies had been restored "in most areas" - but that surgeries would have to work through a backlog of appointments.

Practices across the UK have had to cancel routine appointments because of the issue, while pharmacies have been unable to access digital prescription records.

Yes a poor multicultural area.

Police have to attend when social services take children into care for their own safety. 4 children belonging to a Roma family apparently

Clearly the locals/parents resisted....maybe because they didn't understand the law. Social media did the rest.

Police HAD to retreat against 200/1 rioters.

Paul’s opinion - unchanged, I see HVO positively, so am happy to give it another GREEN LIGHT.

It seems a reasonably priced, GARP share (growth at reasonable price).

My only reservation is that big profit margins always attracts competition, sooner or later, if there isn’t a strong enough moat of IP. I’m not convinced the moat here is strong enough to prevent that happening eventually. After all, HVO built this business quite quickly in recent years, so why couldn’t someone else do the same, if they have the expertise and some startup funding? Hence why I think it’s not a share to chase up to expensive levels. Thankfully it’s not expensive, with a 2025 fwd PER of 18.8x, and comfort of plenty of cash sitting in the bank.

So I remain positive, and let’s hope the forecasts are beaten again, which HVO has a history of doing.

"Meanwhile, Hungarian President Viktor Orbán began his country’s six-month EU presidency by meeting Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and President Xi Jinping in Beijing – without EU backing – leading to a strong rebuke by the European Parliament.

Top EU officials announced that they would boycott informal events hosted by Hungary during its presidency, while EU foreign ministers are also set to snub Hungary by organising their own foreign affairs meeting in Brussels in August, instead of travelling to Budapest."

The Iron doom is maned by humans.

The Israeli military official said its defence forces had detected the incoming drone but had not tried to shoot it down because of "human error".

"It followed Thursday's meeting of the European Political Community at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, where the continent's leaders agreed to tackle Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" - 600 tankers evading sanctions on Russian oil.

The vessels carry around 1.7 million barrels of oil per day. Some are also believed to be transporting weapons to Russia or acting as Russian listening stations."

Leeds riot.

Farage blaming Muslins.

Farage is 5000 miles away in Milwaukee fuelling the flames with rac-ist lies.

Blame social media as thousands arrived.

Why?

To have a party at the polices expense.....imo

Assassination attempt .

TRUMP......"I have God on my side"

To a deeply religious America.

Sadly he knows how to play the American people.

"Trump, who is the Republican presidential candidate, promised on Thursday to bring an end to raging international crises and restore American prestige on the world stage, saying he could "stop wars with a telephone call". "

WITH A WHITE FLAG ‼️

Simple for a Simpleton....

WORST STILL...Orban's turn to hold the EU presidential office for 6 months.....which means he sets the EU agenda.

As each EU Country takes its turn.
