Nursing course acceptances stagnate across UK, data shows
The government has been urged to step up efforts to attract more people into nursing, after new figures revealed little growth in the number of students accepted onto courses across the UK.

Acceptances among 18-year-olds rose by 6% to 5,620 – the highest since 2019 – but mature student numbers continued to decline. “We now need to see the government prioritise getting more students to choose nursing in the first place. “Nursing and other allied health professions are suffering falling application rates and limited placements at NHS trusts.

Law Firms That Settled With Trump Are Asked to Help on Trade Deals
When asked for comment, Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman, did not directly address the latest developments. Instead he said that Mr. Trump “has radically changed the business of discrimination, including by ending D.E.I. Nine firms reached deals with Mr. Trump to head off executive orders. In total, the firms pledged nearly a billion dollars in pro bono legal work. The deals have been criticized by many in the legal community as unconstitutional and undemocratic, and have led to splits inside some of the firms about the wisdom of agreeing to terms with the White House.

Luke Littler schedule and TV times for New Zealand Darts Masters
The 18-year-old was well below-par again at the Spark Arena in Auckland this morning before getting over the top of New Zealand number two Mark Cleaver 6-4. This allowed Cleaver to cut the gap to 3-2 and he missed the bull to level the match, with Littler taking out tops-tops. Credit Littler for not panicking though, he stayed composed, tidied up his act and crossed the line with two 13-dart legs. Like last week though, he will need to be much better tomorrow if he is to stand a chance of winning the New Zealand Masters for the first time. The New Zealand Darts Masters is being broadcast live on PDCTV and ITVX, with delayed coverage on ITV4 beginning from 7pm (UK time) on Friday and 5pm (UK time) on Saturday.

Russia Seeks to Add Trade and Arms Control Into Trump-Putin Talks
A day ahead of the meeting between President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, the Kremlin on Thursday signaled that apart from Ukraine, it was also interested in discussing other subjects, like economic links and nuclear arms. Remarks by Mr. Putin and his foreign policy aide highlighted how, when dealing with Washington, Moscow has tried to dilute discussions about ending the fighting in Ukraine by packaging them together with other bilateral issues. In particular, Russia has focused on the prospect of discussing arms control and restoring economic ties with the United States. On Thursday, Mr. Putin convened top officials at the Kremlin to brief them about the next day’s meeting. In his opening remarks, Mr. Putin said he believed that the United States was making “quite energetic efforts to stop the fighting, end the crisis, and reach agreements of interest to all parties involved in this conflict.”He added that an agreement on Ukraine “would create long-term conditions of peace between our countries, in Europe, and in the world as a whole, if we reach agreements in the next stages in the field of strategic offensive arms control.”

How a Call From Trump Ignited a Frantic Week of Diplomacy by Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was returning from the front line last week when he joined a pivotal call with President Trump. Hours earlier, Mr. Zelensky had visited soldiers defending Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region against Russian ground assaults. Now, stopping in the small city of Romny, he listened on a secure line with other European leaders as Mr. Trump outlined Russia’s proposal to end the war. Seeing a chance to broker peace, Mr. Trump told those on the line that he would meet one on one with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to try to seal an agreement. It was a direct challenge to Ukraine’s core principles that territorial issues be addressed only after a cease-fire and that no deal be concluded without Kyiv.
