Nadhim Zahawi denies threatening Boris Johnson with his resignation - Metro.co.uk

Nadhim Zahawi’s first day as chancellor got off to the worst start imaginable after he was ambushed by two resignations live on air.

He endured a hellish first morning in his new job after being asked to serve as the mouthpiece for Boris Johnson’s crumbling regime.

The new chancellor faced a series of awkward media encounters, including being asked about reports he threatened to quit unless he was handed the keys to Number 11.

He was twice interrupted on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme to be told about the resignations of Laura Trott and his former junior minister at the education department, Will Quince.

When news of the first broke, Mr Zahawi began to lecture colleagues, saying: ‘The way you deliver trust is the way you deliver outcomes for people. Delivery, delivery, delivery’.

But he couldn’t finish his sentence before news of another emerged.

Host Nick Robinson informed him of Mr Quince’s resignation, saying ‘it’s over, Mr Zahawi, isn’t it?’.

He continued: ‘All I would say to colleagues is that people don’t vote for divided teams. We have to come together.’

The former vaccines minister was parachuted into the Treasury last night to replace Rishi Sunak shortly after his shock resignation. 

He was moved from the education department to a more senior post amid swirling speculation over who might walk out of the cabinet.

Sajid Javid joined Mr Sunak in heading for the exit, along with eight other figures in junior government positions.

Mr Zahawi was pressed about reports he gave Boris Johnson an ultimatum that he wanted to be made chancellor as a price for his loyalty.

He told Sky News: ‘No, I didn’t threaten to resign at all.’

It was claimed Liz Truss was reportedly in line for the role but Mr Zahawi said he would step down if he did not get the job.

He denied it again, telling the broadcaster ‘that is not true’.

Asked why he had not quit following Mr Johnson’s admission over the Chris Pincher affair, he took a swipe at his predecessor for taking the ‘easy’ way out.

He said: ‘You don’t go into this job to have an easy life. You make some tough decisions every day.

‘Sometimes it’s easy to walk away but actually it’s much tougher to deliver for the country.’

His appointment could signal a shift in the government’s economic approach after months of reported tension between Mr Johnson and Mr Sunak.

The PM is said to want to go further and faster on tax cuts but was facing resistance from a Treasury concerned about balancing the books.

Mr Zahawi signalled today that nothing was off table, including ‘looking again’ at a planned corporation tax rise due to come into force next year.

Asked about his approach to tax cuts, he said: ‘I will look at everything, there is nothing off the table.’

Mr Zahawi faces an uphill task as the economy slides towards recession amid record prices.

Asked about his priorities in the job, he said: ‘The important thing is to get inflation under control, be fiscally responsible.

‘The first thing we’ve got to do is make sure that we are really careful about, whether it’s public sector pay, that inflation doesn’t continue to be fuelled.”

‘Today, we are facing a global battle with inflation.’

Norway bans gas strike threatening UK supply with 'serious consequences' - Express

The Sleipner field, a North Sea hub for British fossil fuel, was on the verge of being shut down at the weekend owing to a dispute over pay. Norwegian oil and gas workers had already closed three fields by Monday with three more expected to have followed on Tuesday before the government intervened.

Had the striking workers managed to shut down the three additional fields it would have affected around 13 percent of Norway's total gas exports.

An additional three fields including Sleipner were due to be shut down on Saturday.

It means that Britain's gas supplies are unlikely to be disrupted on Saturday as a result,

Labour Minister Marte Mjoes Persen told Reuters that Oslo had used its powers to intervene and the strike would have had "serious consequences".

She said: "Norway plays a vital role in supplying gas to Europe, and the planned escalation [of the strike] would have had serious consequences, for Britain, Germany and other nations.

"When the conflict can have such great social consequences for the whole of Europe, I have no choice but to intervene in the conflict.

"It is unjustifiable to let gas production stop to such an extent."

Lederne union leader Audun Ingvartsen told Reuters that the strike was over.

Mr Hansen added that the closure of Sleipner would have also affected supplies to Belgium.

Josef Pospisil, utilities specialist at Fitch Ratings, argued that a short-term fall in supply would not have a major impact on the UK because of the large volumes it receives from other countries shipped in from around the world.

Norway is the UK's largest supplier of gas providing 32 billion cubic metres (bcm) of the 76bcm consumed last year.

On Tuesday evening, around 30 percent of Britain’s gas was being supplied through the Easington terminal.

The dispute will now move to what the Norwegian government has labelled a "compulsory wage board".

Highland Park shooting: Man arrested after 4 July mass shooting - BBC

US police have arrested a suspect after six people were killed in a mass shooting at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois.

Robert E Crimo III, 22, was detained after a brief chase, police said.

The gunman climbed on to a roof, shooting randomly at spectators using a high-powered rifle.

It is the latest mass shooting to hit the US - there has been one in every week of 2022. President Joe Biden said he was "shocked" by the violence.

Hours later, two police officers were wounded in a shooting in Philadelphia during a Fourth of July fireworks display.

Mr Crimo was detained after a manhunt. He was referred to as a "person of interest" in Monday's shooting, but after his arrest police said they believed he was responsible.

The gunman opened fire at the parade, near the city of Chicago, at around 10:15 local time (15:15 GMT), just a few minutes after it began.

The event was scheduled to include floats, marching bands, and community entertainment as part of the city's Independence Day celebrations.

But what should have been one of the happiest days of the year quickly turned to panic, with pushchairs, purses and lawn chairs left discarded on the street as crowds fled from the scene. Some witnesses said they thought the sound of gunfire was fireworks.

The gunman fired at members of the public from the rooftop of a nearby shop, where police recovered "evidence of a firearm."

Five adults were killed at the scene, as well as a further victim who the local coroner said died in a nearby hospital. At least two dozen others were injured.

One of those who died has been named as Nicolas Toledo, a man in his late 70s, who was only there because he requires full-time care and his family did not want to miss the event.

"We went to have a nice family day out - and then suddenly all this gunfire happens," said Anand P, who was there during the parade.

"At the time I personally wanted to believe it was a car backfiring. Then people started running - so we start running."

Another witness, Noel Hara, described how he was having breakfast at Starbucks after dropping off his son at the parade, when the chaos unfolded.

"About 30 people suddenly came rushing in screaming and we were locked into the Starbucks bathroom," Mr Hara told the BBC.

"Moments later, they evacuated us from the Starbucks because they thought the shooter was trying to get in the back door."

No charges have been filed against Mr Crimo and there is no indication of any motive.

Social media firms suspended accounts apparently belonging to Mr Crimo, who posted rap videos under an alias.

The attack in Highland Park comes just a month after deadly shootings in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York.

Reuters

Illinois Governor Jay Robert Pritzker warned that mass shootings were becoming an "American tradition".

"There are going to be people who are going to say that today is not the day, that now is not the time to talk about guns. I'm telling you there is no better day and no better time then right here and right now," the Democratic governor said.

President Biden vowed to keep fighting "the epidemic of gun violence" in the country.

"I'm not going to give up," he said, speaking outside the White House in Washington DC.

Last week, the president signed the first significant federal bill on gun safety in nearly 30 years.

It imposes tougher checks on young buyers and encourages states to remove guns from people considered a threat - but critics say the measures don't go far enough.

Copenhagen shooting: Gunman kills three in Field's shopping mall - BBC

To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

A gunman has killed three people and injured another four at a shopping mall in Denmark's capital Copenhagen.

Police said the victims were two Danish 17-year-olds and a 47-year old Russian citizen. Two Danes and two Swedes are in critical condition in hospital.

A 22-year-old man, described as "an ethnic Dane", was arrested minutes after the shooting at Field's centre.

He had mental health issues and there is no indication of a terror motive, Police chief Soeren Thomassen said.

The suspect, who has not been identified, will face questioning by a judge on Monday.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Denmark had suffered a cruel attack.

She said she wanted to encourage Danes to stand together and support each other in this difficult time.

"Our beautiful and usually so safe capital was changed in a split second," she said.

The deadly shopping mall attack took place as Denmark celebrated hosting the first three stages of the Tour de France for the first time.

The suspect had a rifle and ammunition when he was arrested, police said.

They have no indication that other attackers were involved and urged shop owners to preserve any video surveillance footage they might have.

Field's has more than 140 shops and restaurants. The multi-storey mall is on the outskirts of Copenhagen, just across from a subway line that connects to the city centre.

Eyewitnesses spoke of panic among shoppers as gunfire rang out.

One of them, named Isabelle, told Danish media: "Suddenly we hear shots. I think I hear ten shots and then we run through the mall and end up in a toilet, where we huddle together in this tiny toilet, where we are around 11 people.

"It's really hot and we wait and we are really scared. It's been a terrible experience."

A concert by British singer Harry Styles at a venue less than a mile from the scene was cancelled.

Crowds had already gathered inside the venue when the show's cancellation was announced. Fans - many in their teens - were escorted by police to underground stations where parents picked them up, Danish media report.

"My daughters were supposed to go see Harry Styles," Hans Christian Stolz, a 53-year-old Swede who came to pick up his children, told AFP. "They called me to say someone was shooting. They were in a restaurant when it happened."

"We thought at first people were running because they had seen Harry Styles, then we understood that it was people in panic... We ran for our lives," his daughter Cassandra said.

Writing on Snapchat, Styles said: "My team and I pray for everyone involved in the Copenhagen shopping mall shooting. I am shocked. Love H."

Shortly after the shooting, the Danish royal family announced that a reception due to be hosted by Crown Prince Frederik to celebrate hosting the Tour de France's first three stages had been cancelled.

Several neighbouring leaders expressed horror at the shooting and offered condolences to the families of those impacted.

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin condemned what she called a "shocking act of violence" and Norwegian leader Jonas Gahr Store said his "thoughts go to the victims and their relatives and to the relief crews who are currently working to save lives".

Denmark last saw a major terror event in 2015, when two people were killed and six police officers were injured during an attack on a cultural centre and a synagogue in Copenhagen.

The gunman was later killed in a shootout with police.

The country has some of the strictest gun laws in Europe, with licences to own firearms usually only available for hunting or sport shooting following background checks - and with an almost total ban on automatic weapons. Carrying a firearm in public is strictly prohibited.

Russia claims full control of Luhansk region after seizing last city - Financial Times

Russia claimed to have seized the entirety of Ukraine’s Luhansk region after weeks of brutal fighting, which if confirmed would hand President Vladimir Putin a significant military achievement more than four months after he launched his invasion.

Sergei Shoigu, Russia’s defence minister, reported to Putin on Sunday that Russia’s forces had “liberated” the whole of the region after capturing Lysychansk, Ukraine’s last stronghold in Luhansk, the ministry said.

Ukraine did not immediately confirm Russia had taken control of the city, though officials had warned repeatedly in recent days that it could fall after troops retreated from neighbouring Severodonetsk, separated from Lysychansk by a river.

Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said late on Saturday that the Russian river crossing “threatened” Lysychansk.

“The city is on fire,” Serhiy Haidai, Luhansk’s Ukrainian governor, wrote in a post on social media app Telegram. “The occupiers have likely thrown all their forces at Lysychansk. They attacked the city with incomprehensibly cruel tactics.”

Haidai said the destruction in Lysychansk was even worse than in Severodonetsk, which was largely levelled during artillery bombardment.

“If some homes and government buildings survived a month of street battles, then those same government buildings were razed to the ground after a short period,” Haidai wrote. He said Russia’s troops were “sustaining significant losses, but stubbornly progressing”.

Pro-Russian social media accounts posted videos showing Chechen troops posing in the centre of Lysychansk and a Soviet flag flying from the town hall. The posts were geolocated by open source intelligence and western analysts.

The advance, if confirmed, would mark the first time Russia had established full control over a Ukrainian region since the early weeks of the war in March.

It also puts Russia closer to capturing eastern Ukraine’s Donbas border region, which is made up of Luhansk and neighbouring Donetsk.

Putin has claimed the war’s main goal is to “liberate” the Donbas, where Russia began fuelling a separatist proxy war that killed more than 15,000 people in 2014 after a pro-western revolution in Kyiv.

Pro-Moscow accounts on social media posted footage of what they claimed were overjoyed locals greeting their “liberators.” Ukraine has already evacuated most of the population further west.

The industrial region is mostly controlled by Moscow-backed separatist groups whose independence is only recognised by Russia and Syria.

Russia shook up its command and switched its focus to a gruelling offensive in the Donbas in late March after its initial attempt to capture Kyiv and most of the rest of Ukraine east of the Dnipro river failed. It also controls Kherson and some of neighbouring Zaporizhia in the south, as well as parts of Kharkiv to the north of the Donbas.

On Sunday, Russia claimed Ukraine launched missile and drone attacks at the border cities of Kursk and Belgorod. The defence ministry said it shot down all the missiles but that shrapnel hit residential buildings in Belgorod, which is just over the border from Kharkiv.

Viacheslav Gladkov, Belgorod’s governor, said four people died in the apparent attack and that dozens of buildings were damaged. He claimed three of the victims were Ukrainian citizens, who state media said were refugees from Kharkiv.

Russia has blamed Ukraine for carrying out several attacks on border cities and nearby infrastructure for its supply routes since the war began. Though Ukraine has not admitted to any of the attacks, it has mocked them in social media posts suggesting Russia was getting its just deserts for the invasion.

Neighbouring Belarus, which is letting Russia use its territory to attack Ukraine but has so far resisted Putin’s efforts to drag it into the war, said on Saturday it had also intercepted Ukrainian missiles launched at military targets.

Ukraine did not confirm those claims but said it had destroyed a Russian base in Melitopol, a city in Zaporizhia, in a rocket strike.

Ukraine war: Russia claims to have 'liberated' Lysychansk but defence forces deny that Kremlin forces are in 'full control' - Sky News

Russia claims it has taken full control of Lysychansk, Ukraine's last bastion in the eastern province of Luhansk.

The assertion has been denied by the Ukrainian defence ministry, which said fighting in the key city has been "very intense for quite a while now".

The war in Ukraine has been focused on the south and east of the country in recent weeks, as Kremlin forces seek to consolidate control of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin that the city has been "liberated" and that Moscow is in "full control".

Russian media showed footage of Luhansk militia fighters marching in the streets, waving flags and cheering.

But the Ukrainian defence ministry has told the BBC that the eastern Ukrainian city is not under the "full control" of Russian troops.

It comes just days after Russian troops took Lysychansk's sister city Severodonetsk, on the opposite side of the Siverskiy Donets river.

Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, previously said that Russian soldiers had crossed the river and were coming towards Lysychansk from the north.

He said: "This is indeed a threat. We shall see.

"I do not rule out any one of a number of outcomes here.

"Things will become much more clear within a day or two."

But Mr Arestovych also said that if Russia takes Lysychansk, it will find its forces spread very thinly, as it tries to keep control of the six major cities it has taken in the Donbas, a region made up of Luhansk and neighbouring Donetsk.

He added: "The more Western weapons come to the front, the more the picture changes in favour of Ukraine."

Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region, said that at least 11 apartment buildings and 39 houses were damaged.

Ukraine has not commented on the reports.

It comes after a Russian attack on an apartment block near Odesa on Friday, which killed at least 21 people, and on a shopping centre in the central city of Kremenchuk on Monday, which killed at least 19.
