Trump says Iran has been sending out ‘nasty signals'
'They've been sending very bad signals, very nasty signals. And they shouldn't be doing that. .. We wiped out their nuclear possibilities. They can start again. If they do, we'll wipe it out faster than you can wave your finger at it,' Trump said, speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland.

Zelenskiy Spoke with Trump Ahead of Peace Deal Deadline
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that he had had a "productive" conversation with his US counterpart Donald Trump on ending the war, sanctions on Russia and the finalization of a US-Ukraine drone deal. Trump, who has signaled frustration with Vladimir Putin in recent weeks, has given the Russian president until August 8 to make peace in Ukraine or face tougher sanctions. "President Trump is fully informed about Russian strikes on Kyiv and other cities and communities," Zelenskiy wrote on X, referring to intensifying drone and missile attacks. Trump has threatened to hit Russia with new sanctions and impose 100% tariffs on countries that buy its oil, but sources close to the Kremlin told Reuters that Putin was unlikely to bow to the ultimatum. Zelenskiy said Ukraine was also ready to conclude a deal with the US on the purchase of Ukrainian drones that would amount to "one of the strongest agreements". He had earlier said the deal was worth around $30 billion. Ukraine is increasingly seeking financing and investment from its foreign partners to bolster its burgeoning domestic arms industry. Zelenskiy said Kyiv's European partners had so far pledged to buy more than $1 billion in US weapons for Ukraine as part of a new scheme.

Govt urged to bring relatives of Afghans to UK after data breach
LONDON: A group of more than 50 charities and lawyers has urged the UK government to let Afghans granted asylum bring their families with them after their identities were revealed in a data breach. The leak in February 2022 saw the details of more than 100,000 Afghans who worked with the British accidentally shared online by a Ministry of Defence employee. They included people who had worked as interpreters for the British Army, and others who applied for asylum under the UK's Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy. The leak was hidden by the government through a legal mechanism called a superinjunction, making reporting it in the press illegal. The superinjunction was lifted by a court last month. ARAP and the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme do not allow applicants to sponsor relatives to come to the UK. The group of charities, including Asylum Aid and modern slavery charity Kalayaan, wrote to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper asking her 'to prevent the worst possible consequences of the data leak becoming a dire reality' and help take the relatives of those whose identities were leaked out of Afghanistan. 'The UK government has a moral responsibility to the Afghan people who continue to suffer, including now as a result of the data leak and have no choice but to seek safety elsewhere. 'The 2022 data breach directly exposed Afghans still in the country to a risk of reprisals they were not even aware of, and the High Court, in lifting the superinjunction, recognised that its imposition may have increased the risks these people face.' The signatories added: 'Poor decision-making could yet again have exposed Afghans to serious harm, with many of these people having clear UK family ties.' They said: 'It is essential that those who were resettled under ARAP and ACRS are able to live in safety and are given a fair opportunity to reunite with their families.' Some routes are open to resettled Afghans to reunite in the UK with relatives, but the signatories said these involve 'extremely costly application fees and require copious, specific documentation.' Wendy Chamberlain MP, the Liberal Democrat chair of the all-parliamentary group for Afghan women, told The Independent: 'There is already anecdotal evidence of reprisals on family members by the Taliban — the Home Office has no time to waste if the government wants to prevent the worst possible consequences of the data leak becoming a dire reality. 'The Home Office desperately needs to take a pragmatic and compassionate approach to allowing Afghans resettled in the UK to be reunited safely with their families. 'It is clear that these schemes have been seriously mis-handled, culminating in the recent exposure of the 2022 data leak.' James Tullett, CEO of the charity Ramfel, said: 'The government has acknowledged that the people they have resettled need protection, and yet this offer of support comes with the heavy price of separation from family. 'Allowing Afghan families to reunite won't solve all the problems associated with the data leak, but it will make a monumental difference for the affected families.'
