Another explosion and gunfire reported.
Third explosion was an IED that hit the Taliban

12 US deaths, 10 in critical condition and many more wounded.

US has no good options here, scramble and leave which means leaving behind possibly hundreds or thousands of Americans.

Downing Street did not deny reports of an increase of at least 1% to improve social care and tackle the NHS backlog.

The justice secretary said he would not "speculate" but said there should be a "grown-up conversation" about how to pay for rising social care costs.

The move would break a Tory manifesto commitment at the last election.

Quote

Exports of food and drink to the EU have suffered a “disastrous” decline in the first half of the year because of Brexit trade barriers, with sales of beef and cheese hit hardest.

Food and Drink Federation (FDF) producers lost £2bn in sales, a dent in revenue that could not be compensated for by the increased sales in the same period to non-EU countries including China and Australia.

A Belarusian court on Monday sentenced Maria Kolesnikova, a prominent opposition figure who led mass street protests against President Alexander Lukashenko, to 11 years in prison, the latest move in a widespread crackdown on government critics following a contested election last year.

Kolesnikova and another opposition activist, Maxim Znak, were charged with extremism and conspiring to "seize state power in an unconstitutional way" in a trial held in the capital Minsk behind closed doors, Belarusian state media Belta reported.

Znak, who is also a key member of the coordination council formed by opponents of Lukashenko's authoritarian government, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

We've had a long running saga involving replacement submarines for the past few years. A French company was supposed to build them here (non-nuclear) but that project has been an absolute clusterfuck and no progress was being made.

Remains to be seen whether this is a better solution, because we have no nuclear industry at all, despite having 1/3 of the world's uranium deposits.
