U.K. Prime Minister slammed for his views on transgender women in sport

The controversial comments come after transgender cyclist Emily Bridges was disqualified from competing in the United Kingdom’s national championships.
Bridges claims she was ‘harassed and demonised’ after the governing body ruled she was ineligible to compete.
Bridges says she has been undertaking hormone therapy for the past year, which should have legitimised her to compete.
Officials barred her from competing after several other female competitors threatened to boycott the event if Bridges competed.
Conversion Therapy backflip
The U.K is also under pressure following its constant backflips on conversion therapy legislation.
The Government decided not to include transgender people in the ban on so-called conversion therapy.
The legislation will mean therapy to attempt to change people’s sexuality will be outlawed, but those practices carried out to try to change people’s gender identity will not.
The dispute over conversion therapy for transgender people has prompted global concern.

U.S. pushes Ukraine toward controversial peace plan with Russia
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.
As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.
The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.
Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.
Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
