The UK government will not halt arms sales to Israel, foreign secretary David Cameron has said.

Mr. Cameron said the government reviewed the most recent legal advice about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and that the UK’s position on export licences remains “unchanged”.

The foreign secretary also said ministers had “grave concerns” about humanitarian access in Gaza at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday, 9 April.

Downing Street has come under mounting pressure from senior conservatives to suspend arms exports after the deaths of three British charity workers in an airstrike that killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen.

    Vladimir Putin, honoured like a Russian tsar at his swearing-in for a new six-year presidential term, had a double-edged message for the West: the Kremlin is ready to talk but Russia is girding for victory in Ukraine. Putin, who rose to the top of the Kremlin just eight years after the fall of the Soviet Union, will overtake Josef Stalin and become Russia's longest-serving ruler since Empress Catherine the Great if he completes the term. The 71-year-old former KGB spy exuded confidence in the carefully choreographed inauguration which the West and opponents, who are mainly in jail or abroad, cast as a fig leaf of democracy covering a corrupt Russian autocracy.
