UK launches review into raising state pension age
"Alongside reviving the Pensions Commission, I am also announcing the launch of the next statutory Government Review of State Pension age," Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said in a statement.
The current state pension age is 66. The previous government said in 2023 that an increase in the state pension age to 67 would be phased in between 2026 and 2028 and that a further review on raising the age to 68 would take place within two years after the next election which was held in 2024.
Under 2014 legislation, Britain's government must undertake a review every six years that considers demographic and economic factors affecting retirement age.

Trump's visit to Scotland will cost millions of dollars, report says
Donald Trump 's five-day golf trip to Scotland is estimated to cost US taxpayers nearly $10 million. The visit, officially designated as a 'work trip,' includes stops at his golf courses and the opening of a new course near Aberdeen. Estimated expenses cover Secret Service overtime, the operating costs of Air Force One and Marine One, and the transportation of vehicles. Trump is also scheduled to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney. The trip is expected to incur substantial costs for Scottish taxpayers due to a major police operation and anticipated protests.

Get your act together on immigration, Trump tells Europe as he lands in Scotland
Europe 'better get your act together' on immigration, US President Donald Trump said as he landed in Scotland. Mr Trump is in the country for a four-day visit to both of his golf clubs in Aberdeen and Ayrshire. Landing at around 8.30pm on Friday, the president was greeted by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray before speaking to reporters. Asked about illegal immigration – which successive UK governments have sought to curb – Mr Trump said: 'On immigration, you better get your act together. 'You're not going to have Europe anymore, you've got to get your act together. 'As you know, last month we had nobody entering our country – nobody, (we) shut it down.' He added: 'You've got to stop this horrible invasion that's happening to Europe.' Immigration, Mr Trump said, was 'killing Europe'. Some European leaders, he continued, 'have not let it happen' and are 'not getting the proper credit they should', though the president did not say who he was talking about. Mr Trump said: 'Many countries in Europe, some people, some leaders, have not let it happen, and they're not getting the proper credit they should.' The president also praised Sir Keir Starmer ahead of a meeting between the two at one of his courses in the coming days, describing him as a 'good man'. 'I like your Prime Minister, he's slightly more liberal than I am – as you probably heard – but he's a good man. He got a trade deal done,' he said. 'You know, they've been working on this deal for 12 years, he got it done – that's a good deal, it's a good deal for the UK.' The president's motorcade – which contained more than two dozen vehicles – passed a small group of protesters as he entered his Turnberry golf club. Mr Trump also suggested he would be meeting Sir Keir 'tomorrow evening', although it is understood the pair will not meet until Monday. As well as the Prime Minister, Scottish First Minister John Swinney will meet with the president, as will European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, who confirmed on X she will come to Scotland on Sunday in a bid to hash out a trade deal between the US and Europe. Mr Trump told journalists there was a 'good 50/50 chance' of a deal being struck, adding that it would be the 'biggest deal of them all'. The president and Sir Keir are expected to discuss potential changes to the UK-US trade deal which came into force last month. Mr Swinney has pledged to 'essentially speak out for Scotland'. Speaking as he boarded Air Force One in the US, Mr Trump said he would be having dinner with the Prime Minister at Turnberry, before 'going to the oil capital of Europe, which is Aberdeen'. He said: 'We're going to have a good time. I think the Prime Minister and I get along very well.' Mr Trump added: 'We're going to be talking about the trade deal that we made and maybe even approve it.' He also told journalists he was 'looking forward' to meeting with the 'Scottish leader' Mr Swinney, describing him as a 'good man'. During his time in Scotland, the president is also likely to spark a number of protests, with concerns being raised about how such demonstrations are policed.

New internet rules come into force - here's what is changing
New rules for the internet have come into force - and may well change how you browse. Ofcom's Children's Codes, a set of regulations designed to protect young people online, mean sites hosting adult content like pornography will need to have "highly effective" age verification in place. Social media sites will need to make sure their algorithms aren't pushing harmful content to young people and if their terms and conditions say those kinds of posts aren't allowed, the sites will have to make sure their own rules are properly enforced. So what's going to change? The biggest change you'll notice straight away is around age verification. Many adult sites currently have simple boxes for users to tick and say they're over 18 - that's no longer good enough, according to Ofcom. Instead, they'll have to properly verify their users' ages before allowing them to see adult content. Users visiting adult websites should be presented with a screen that offers them a few different ways to verify their age. That could be by checking credit card details, checking ID or by using AI facial age estimation. This is different to AI facial recognition; whereas facial recognition "recognises" a face by comparing it to an ID or to a database, facial age estimation doesn't attempt to identify the individual. Instead, it judges faces based on the positions of their features and other ageing traits to estimate how old a user is. "Facial age estimation is effectively taking a selfie in front of your mobile phone or your laptop, and we capture that image [...] on behalf of the business," Robin Tombs, the chief executive of age estimation company Yoti, told Sky News. "[The AI] checks 'liveness' to ensure it isn't a photo of somebody older and then estimates the age from that selfie, and then returns an over-18 or under-18 message to the business. "It then deletes the image." Every company with adult content on its site is obliged to put these rules into place and Ofcom is willing to "be tough" with non-compliers, according to Jessica Smith, the regulator's online safety principal. It can impose fines of up to £18m or 10% of revenue and, in very serious cases, stop sites operating in the UK. 1:11 Will it actually make a difference? Plenty of people hope so - the government, Ofcom, children's groups and campaigners are all banking on these new rules to change children's experience on the internet. "We've had unrestricted access to this content for a generation of children which has had a lot of impacts," Ms Smith told Sky News. "It is widely accepted that you have to check your age before you can drink alcohol, and so this is a kind of social change as well as a technical one. "It's about what we, as a society, say is normal for our online experiences. And I think these protections will be important for children in all walks of life." This isn't necessarily going to stop determined young people from seeking out adult content, according to Ms Smith, but it should stop inappropriate posts from popping up unexpectedly on young people's feeds. "The most common way that children come across pornography, at least at first, is that they come across it accidentally," she told Sky News. "So they're not seeking out, they are just scrolling through a social media service and then they'll see something that they don't want to see. And that can be really shocking and disturbing for them. "But it also shows them what content is out there and introduces them to a new type of online content." Some websites and apps have already announced they'll implement the changes, including the UK's biggest pornography site PornHub, social media sites Discord and Reddit, and dating app Grindr.
