The European ban was lifted last November after extensive safety audits, clearing the way for PIA to restore suspended routes in January this year. The first Boeing 777 flight from Islamabad to Manchester on Saturday marked PIA’s return after months of inspections and reforms that restored Britain’s confidence in Pakistan’s aviation system. “The flight to Manchester is a remarkable beginning, but we are firmly determined to start flights to London and Birmingham next,” Pakistan defence minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif told a ceremony at Islamabad International Airport. “Providing them with direct flights is both a moral and national duty,” he said. “This milestone will bring major economic benefits, generating substantial revenue, boosting trade and tourism, and expanding the movement of people and goods,” he said at a recent event in London.

The book’s co-author Amy Wallace said Ms Giuffre wanted “wealthy, powerful men to be held to account”. In an interview with the Associated Press, she said: “What we’re watching is Prince Andrew’s life is being eroded for his past behaviour. “While he’s not being tried in a court of law, his behaviour’s catching up with him”. The Telegraph reported conversations between Andrew and the King’s representatives have been ongoing since full publication of the prince’s lease agreement on his Berkshire home resulted in intense public scrutiny. The Public Accounts Committee has already confirmed it is writing to the Crown Estate and the Treasury asking for further information about the prince’s lease.

Isa Giga, 32, formerly living in Hounslow in West London, was arrested at Heathrow Airport last year on May 23 following a flight from Turkey. The 32-year-old was arrested following an investigation led by the force’s Counter Terrorism Command. In 2018, police were notified that Giga had travelled to Syria via Turkey to fight for the group Jaysh Al Fath, part of an alliance of Islamist armed factions fighting in the Syrian civil war. Evidence also was gathered by police with the use of an undercover officer who had been messaging Giga in 2016. Giga also said he supported ‘Nusra’, part of the Jaysh Al Fath group, and ‘wanted martyrdom very soon in the first row’ (the battlefield in Syria).

AP file photoTrump’s Tomahawk Snub ‘FORCES’ EU To Shower Zelensky With 5,000+ Missiles, Mirage Jets & MoreBelgian objectionFailure in AlaskaBritish prime minister Keir Starmer on Friday urged allies to "finish the job" on Russian assets as he told Ukraine's President Volodymyr zelenskyy in London there was more that they could do to bolster Kyiv's long-range missile capability.Starmer met zelenskyy at his London residence before holding talks with Ukraine's key backers. "I think there's further we can do on capability, particularly... long-range capability, and of course, the vital work for coalition of the willing when it comes to the security guarantees that are necessary," the UK leader said.On Russia's sovereign assets he said he would like to see countries finish what had been started and unlock funding to support Ukraine. "The UK is ready to move in tandem with the EU ( European Union ) to drive this forward as fast as possible, to get those funds flowing to Ukraine," he said.The United States and EU have both announced new sanctions this week on Russian energy, aimed at crippling its war economy.EU leaders also took steps towards funding Ukraine's defence for another two years, although they stopped short of approving a mammoth "reparations loan" backed by frozen Russian assets.Starmer hugged zelenskyy as the Ukrainian president arrived in Downing Street telling him this week had seen "huge steps forward".NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and the Netherlands' Dick Schoof were in London while other leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron joined online.Earlier Friday zelenskyy held after another meeting with Britain's King Charles III -- their third this year.The latest diplomatic activity followed zelenskyy's visit to Washington last week, when President Donald Trump rebuffed his pleas for long-range Tomahawk missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia.The near four-year war continues to grind on despite US and European efforts to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, with Moscow battering Ukraine's energy grid this week in deadly drone and missile attacks.The meeting came a day after EU leaders tasked the European Commission to move ahead with options for funding Ukraine for two more years, leaving the door open for a 140-billion-euro ($162 billion) "reparations loan".The EU froze around 200 billion euros of Russian central bank assets after Moscow's tanks rolled into Ukraine, and the European Commission has proposed using the funds to provide a huge loan to Kyiv -- without seizing them outright.But the plan has faced strong objections from Belgium, where the bulk of the frozen Russian assets are held, over the legal consequences.The broadly worded conclusions of Thursday's summit in Brussels -- adopted by all member states except Hungary -- did not mention the loan directly, instead inviting the commission "to present, as soon as possible, options for financial support".zelenskyy nonetheless welcomed the outcome as a signal of "political support" for the notion of using Russian assets to keep Kyiv in the fight.He has been pleading for weeks for more long-range weapons, hoping to capitalise on Trump's growing frustration with Putin after a summit in Alaska failed to yield a breakthrough.But the Ukrainian leader left Washington empty-handed last week as Trump seemed to eye a fresh diplomatic breakthrough instead, on the back of the Gaza ceasefire deal.The UK and France already supply Ukraine with Storm Shadow and Scalp long-range missiles, while Ukraine also produces its own Flamingo and Neptune missiles.Kyiv is particularly keen to get the German equivalent Taurus missiles, a move Berlin has long resisted over fears that it would cause tensions with Russia to further escalate.On Friday, Starmer also announced the "acceleration" of a programme to manufacture air defence missiles, which aims to supply Ukraine with more than 5,000 such weapons.Around 140 "lightweight-multirole missiles" will be delivered to Ukraine this winter, according to Downing Street.

Such is Flamini's influence in the industry that he has been invited to speak at Harvard Business School, and the EU Commission. This week Flamini even met fellow eco-warrior King Charles III after becoming a member of the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance. As Flamini shared on Instagram, this is 'where global leaders and Indigenous voices are shaping the future of the bioeconomy.' He is also pushing for more sustainability in football, from how shirts are produced to how fans travel to games. Another of Flamini's posts offered the somewhat basic advice: '~80% of your brain, heart, and muscles are made of water.

While the dressage phase kicked off soon after daybreak on Friday, the Pau Horse Trials cross-country times offer a more leisurely start on Saturday, 25 October. The first competitor into the startbox will be three-horse rider Jonelle Price, aboard the Grape Syndicate’s Grappa Nera. The 2022 Pau winner Grappa Nera is currently on a score of 34.3 in 36th, but only 8.7 penalties adrift of overnight leaders Bubby Upton and Cannavaro. Riders will set off every 4min 30sec within the Pau Horse Trials cross-country times, with three slightly longer 9min breaks spread throughout the day. “Pau is Pau, and there are similarities from other years, but if anyone became complacent because it’s similar in places that would be an error,” added Tom.
