Starmer stoops to pick up UK-US trade agreement papers dropped by Trump
Sir Keir Starmer cleaned up after President Donald Trump as he dropped papers from the newly signed UK-US trade agreement on the ground.
The British Prime Minister quickly stooped to the ground and picked up the documents as Trump stood next to him and appeared to grin.
'A very important document,' said Starmer as he held the papers that fell from the folder.
Starmer and Trump presented a copy of the trade deal that they had announced in May, during the Group of Seven (G7) in Alberta, Canada, on Monday.
The two nations signed the document cementing the agreement, which Trump called 'fair' for both.

UK's biggest-ever lottery prize still up for grabs
The biggest lottery prize the UK has seen could still be won on Tuesday after Friday's EuroMillions draw had no winners. The jackpot for the draw on Tuesday will be £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK if won by a single ticket-holder, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros – or £208 million. Once it has reached its cap, and if there is no winner, it stays at this value for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw. This will be on June 20. In the Must Be Won draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the entire jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn – operator of The National Lottery, said: 'Everyone dreams of that huge win when they buy their National Lottery ticket. What a win like this can do for you, your nearest and dearest and the wider community really is incredible. 'From private islands and private jets to really making a monumental difference to causes close to your heart, a £208 million EuroMillions jackpot win would mean pretty much anything is within reach. 'All you have to do to be in with a chance of actually living the dream is to simply buy a EuroMillions ticket. Good luck to all UK EuroMillions players in this Tuesday's draw.'

‘Evacuate Tehran' – Trump issues warning as he departs G7 leaders summit early
US President Donald Trump has warned 'everyone should evacuate Tehran' as it was announced he would be departing the G7 leaders' summit early due to the situation in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran has been top of the agenda at the summit of wealthy democracies, taking place in Canada. In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Mr Trump criticised Iran for refusing to agree to a nuclear deal with his administration. 'What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,' he wrote. 'I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' He later added: 'AMERICA FIRST means many GREAT things, including the fact that, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!' A new round of nuclear talks scheduled for the weekend between the US and Iran were cancelled after Israel's missile strikes. Later on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that Mr Trump would be leaving the summit early, following a dinner with heads of state. 'Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,' she said. Downing Street declined to comment on Mr Trump's early exit. Iran said at least 224 people had been killed in the country since strikes began on Friday, while Israeli officials said 24 people had been killed and more than 500 injured. The back-and-forth between Israel and Iran has raised concerns about all-out war between the rival nations. The latest conflict kicked off on Friday, when Israel launched an attack on top Iranian military leaders and the country's nuclear programme. Iran retaliated by firing waves of missiles at Israel. It comes after Sir Keir Starmer urged British nationals in Israel to register their presence there as countries step up efforts to bring back stranded citizens. The Foreign Office has advised against all travel to Israel, but Britons already in the country now face difficulties getting home, with the airspace closed due to the conflict with Iran. The Prime Minister said the UK was issuing advice for British citizens in Israel to register their presence. 'All of us are giving advice to our citizens for British nationals in Israel, we're giving advice today to register their presence, so there will be a portal for that,' he said. Downing Street said its key message to British nationals in Israel was to stay near shelter and follow the advice of local authorities.

Starmer set to announce new Russia sanctions at G7
The UK is expected to unveil new sanctions against Russia designed to "restrict Putin's war machine" alongside other Ukraine allies on Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the measures would increase economic pressure on the Kremlin to show Vladimir Putin "it is in his and Russia's interests to demonstrate he is serious about peace".However, it appeared unlikely that the US would join the move after Donald Trump signalled his opposition to further measures during the G7 summit in Canada, saying the sanctions "cost [the US] a lot of money".Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials said 16 people were injured after another wave of drone and missiles struck buildings across Kyiv overnight. Downing Street said the new sanctions package would aim to keep up "pressure on Russian military industrial complex" but did not provide further a statement, Sir Keir said he and other G7 partners were finalising the new measures at the Alberta summit, and that they would "squeeze Russia's energy revenues and reduce the funds they are able to pour into their illegal war"."The fact is, Russia doesn't hold all the cards," he why limited information had been released about the contents of the sanctions package, a No 10 spokesman said: "It's just a point of fact that the G7 has only just begun... it would be premature to get ahead of what those sessions will yield."Earlier on Monday, Trump - who announced he would leave the summit early due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East - indicated he did not back the sanctions said: "You're talking about billions and billions of dollars. Sanctions are not that easy. It's not just a one-way street."Trump said he was "waiting to see whether or not a deal" could be agreed between Russia and Ukraine to end the war before signing up to a new sanctions package. During a press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump also called Russia's removal from the G7 group "a mistake" and said it "makes life more complicated".In 2014, then-US President Barack Obama and other world leaders decided to expel Russia from the group of major economies after Russia's annexation of Crimea.
