U.K. to Formally Recognize Palestinian Statehood After Trump Departs
Days or even hours after President Trump departs Britain this afternoon, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to confirm that the British government will vote to recognize a Palestinian state next week at the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. But it puts Britain at odds with the United States. Mr. Trump is opposed to recognizing a Palestinian state, though he has not made an issue of it with Mr. Starmer, with whom he has developed a warm relationship, despite their divergent politics. “I’m not going to take a position; I don’t mind him taking a position,” Mr. Trump said during his visit to Scotland in July, when he was asked about Mr. Starmer’s movement toward recognizing Palestinian statehood. 1 position, because you have a lot of starving people.”

UK State Visit Updates: Trump and Starmer Expected to Announce Big Business Deals
President Trump was welcomed with a glittering banquet in Windsor Castle on the first day of his state visit. Britain’s media was on Thursday divided in its interpretation of day one of the state visit, in which the red carpet was rolled out to President Trump with all the trappings at which British royalty excels. When interviewed about his presence, Mr. Hastings accused Mr. Trump, who is unpopular in Britain, according to opinion polls, of wrecking the world order. That underscored the extent to which much of the media saw Mr. Trump’s visit in pragmatic terms. “Britain wheels out the Windsors to play its royal Trump card,” read the headline of The Independent.

I ran the length of Glasgow Airport's runway in 'special' 5k
While I would also love to be heading to a sunnier climate this week as summer comes to an abrupt halt, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do something a bit mad - run Glasgow Airport's runway. Demand far outstripped the places available for the event, with more than 800 Great Scottish Runners from this year’s event applying for just 50 spots for this exceptional training event. Glasgow City Council, AJ Bell Great Scottish Run, and Glasgow Airport put the event together. Eager runners lining up for the Glasgow Airport runway run(Image: GCC)The second surprise soon followed after we left the fire engine and terminal lit area; it's incredibly dark out there. Some of the Glasgow Times team and I are running the Great Scottish Run this year for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Judge dismisses Indigenous Amazon tribe's lawsuit against the New York Times and TMZ
The suit was filed in May by the Marubo Tribe of the Javari Valley, a sovereign community of about 2,000 people in the Amazon rainforest. TMZ argued that its coverage, which followed the Times’ initial reporting, addressed ongoing public controversies and matters of public interest. The suit claimed stories by TMZ and Yahoo amplified and sensationalized the Times’ reporting and smeared the tribe in the process. Messages seeking comment from attorney N. Micheli Quadros, who represents the tribe, Marubo and Dutra were not immediately answered Wednesday. There was no hint of this in the forest, and there was no suggestion of it in The New York Times’s article.”Nicas wrote that he spent a week with the Marubo tribe.

Windsor poised for global spotlight with Trump state visit
"I am beyond disappointed," Michelle, 32, a marketing executive who declined to give her surname, told AFP of Britain rolling out the red carpet. "Donald Trump as a person is... fuelling a lot of the far-right protests that we're already having here. "The mood is celebratory," attendee Dan Martin, 72, an American charity administrator, told AFP from the grand three-century old building where Charles married Queen Camilla in 2005. "It's not disruptive, but I'd still rather not have him," he added, delighted that protests were planned in Windsor and London. The late monarch's remains lie in a crypt in St George's Chapel within Windsor Castle.In July, Charles hosted French President Emmanuel Macron for a state visit there.

U.K. Offers Trump a Royal Welcome of Maximum Pomp and Minimum Politics
President Trump received a pomp-filled royal welcome to Britain on Wednesday, feted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle during a two-day trip designed to be heavy on majesty and light on diplomacy. At a gilded dinner in the castle’s St. George’s Hall, the king toasted Mr. Trump, citing what he called the “enduring bond” between the peoples of Britain and the United States. And he noted that “British soil makes for rather splendid golf courses,” a nod to the two clubs Mr. Trump owns in Scotland. “Through the generations, our people have fought and died together for the values we hold dear,” Charles said. “We have celebrated together, mourned together and stood together in the best and worst of times.”Mr. Trump returned the praise, thanking the king and his wife, Queen Camilla, for their “extraordinary graciousness.” He said the two countries must defend “the exceptional heritage that makes us who we are, and we must continue to stand for the values and the people of the English-speaking world.”

Trump pays tribute to America’s special relationship with the UK
And around 1,500 troops in total were involved in ceremonial military events throughout the day – almost double those on duty for the recent state visit of France’s President Emmanuel Macron. Since being elected to office Mr Trump has sought to be known as a peacemaker and made no secret of the fact that he covets a Nobel prize. Charles joked: “Mr President, you have spoken of your pride in your British roots. In central London thousands marched in protest against the US leader’s second state visit. Some protesters held banners which read: “No to the racism, no to Trump”, while others carried smaller versions of the Trump baby blimp, a 20ft iteration which became a symbol of demonstration during the president’s first UK state visit in 2019.

Is the Economy as Healthy as Trump Claims?
That will likely please President Trump, who has been calling for lower borrowing costs since he took office (though he wants even bigger cuts). It also gives us a clue as to how central bankers view the economy. What they want is a labor market in which jobs are plentiful and unemployment is as low as it can be without causing prices to rise too much. So just how healthy is the economy? The case for worryTrump says Americans are experiencing the “best economy we’ve ever had.” Experts say the economy is solid, but the labor market looks much more wobbly than it did at the start of the year.
