UK Eyes Greater Nuclear Role in Europe Amid Doubts About US
The UK envisages taking an enhanced role in NATO's nuclear deterrence amid doubts surrounding the US commitment to the alliance, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledges to make Britain 'war-ready' to counter Russian aggression in Europe. The government is exploring new capabilities such as fighter jets able to fire nuclear weapons as part of plans to boost Britain's nuclear contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, according to a person familiar with the matter who requested anonymity discussing sensitive matters of national security.

'People don't train for cancer' - fitness coach raises over £8,000 for hospice
A PERSONAL trainer from Carlisle has completed an 'emotional' seven day challenge and raised £8,600 in memory of his dad. Barrie Mark Scougal, 49, who owns Barrie Mark Personal Training in Harraby decided to fundraise and honour the team at Eden Valley Hospice who cared for his dad, Tony Scougal, and Jigsaw, Cumbria's Children's Hospice. Tony died in June last year after a battle with cancer. Barrie said: 'It's an emotional day today but it was worth it to have raised so much. It's amazing. 'You see so much about the Eden Valley Hospice on social media, or can drive past it so many times, but until you experience it and meet the staff, you never truly understand. 'You never know when you might need it and to be able to help the hospice keep their doors open is amazing.' Barrie kick-started his week of fitness challenges with a 10km swim on Monday, May 26 at Bannatyne's gym after coaching from Myles Little.

I'd never swam more than 3,000 metres. It took me four and a half hours to complete, and I loved it.' On Wednesday Mark honoured both his mum and dad by learning their favourite dance, the foxtrot. He took part in around five hours of intensive training and Let's Dance in the city, where his parents used to take their classes. He then performed in front of a group of 40 people, including his young daughters. Barrie said: 'I don't dance! This day was probably the worst of all because I wanted to do it justice. I didn't realise that the foxtrot was one of the hardest. I wouldn't have got a ten from Len but it was a laugh.'

To end the week, Barrie took his dad on 'one last run' and completed a half-marathon in his honour – carrying his ashes in his backpack. Tony was a keen runner who took part in 50 half-marathons and 25 full-distance marathons throughout his life. When he finished the run, Barrie was greeted by over 50 people who were cheering him on.

I didn't train, I didn't train for any of the challenges because people don't train for cancer or radiotherapy or chemotherapy. This is all for a higher purpose. 'I wanted to use my business and my platform to do good and give back to the city. 'My wife thinks I'm mad! My kids have gone to school today telling all their friends about it. To me, it's all about family. They're the most important in my life. If they're proud, I can go to sleep happy. 'Thank you to everyone who has donated, texted, commented and supported me. The response has been phenomenal!' Barrie's JustGiving page for Eden Valley Hospice is still online, you can donate here:

The summer 2025 transfer window on The Athletic
While it sometimes might feel as though the football season never actually ends, we do, at least, have a temporary pause in men's club action in Europe. The Champions League final has been and gone. The Club World Cup does not start for another 13 days. So, what better time to tell you about The Athletic's plans for the summer transfer window? Advertisement Yes, it might only be June 3, but the temporary Club World Cup window is already open — and you don't have to be in the competition to profit. Liverpool have already done significant business, and are trying to do more. Manchester City are actively pursuing new players. Real Madrid are spending €10million (£8.4m; $11.4m) in a single payment to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold in early ahead of the tournament. The moves have started in earnest. That has been reflected in The Athletic's output over the last few days. We have already introduced our new format, TLDR. This is a quick guide to each of the key deals over the course of the transfer window, and a place where you can quickly find out everything you need to know about a transfer and the player involved. Want to know Jeremie Frimpong's backstory, how he plays, and the finances behind the deal? TLDR has you covered. Today, we launch The Transfer DealSheet for another summer. Powered by our incredible team of reporters and published every Tuesday morning throughout the summer window, The Transfer DealSheet also features David Ornstein's One To Watch each week. Keen to know more about the plans for a single club this window? We've published individual team guides across the website and app this morning. Those are our tentpole formats, but we also have a team behind our transfer content who are raring to go as and when other topics need to be tackled. They will bring you in-depth tactical and data-driven analysis, news takeaways on key transfer topics, financial explainers, features on issues that crop up over the course of the window and more information than you'd ever ask for on PSR. Beyond the written word, our flagship podcast The Athletic FC will be covering The Transfer DealSheet every week and will run three times a week — Monday, Wednesday and Friday — during the summer. Advertisement Our video team will also be bringing you episodes of The DealSheet and Sensible Transfers throughout the summer. And as always, The Athletic promises you that we will follow our rigorous sourcing guidelines before publishing any information. Unless otherwise stated, our reporters will have spoken to more than one person briefed on each deal before offering the clubs involved the opportunity to comment. Thanks, as ever, for subscribing to The Athletic, and we hope you enjoy everything we have planned this summer.
