Two ships “the eyes and ears” of UK deployed for five year mission
Two of Britain’s biggest navy ships have officially set sail, embarking on a five-year journey from the west coast of Africa to the west coast of the United States
The vessels will act as “the eyes and ears” of England, as tensions continue to flare up between China and many other western nations.
In a statement, the British Defence Military says the ships will “work alongside Britain’s allies, carrying out security patrols to deal with drug-running, smuggling, terrorism and other illegal activities, flying the flag for Global Britain”.
The warships will also go north to the Bering Sea and then south to New Zealand and the Australian state of Tasmania
Global Britain has been launched as the nation’s post-Brexit strategy to increase British influence around the world.
It comes as the government announced a sweeping overhaul to its military and foreign policy, focussing in on the indo-pacific region and the increasing dominance of China.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
