Donald Trump's Putin warning after comments about Starmer's wifeOur Politics team has been working around the clock to cover Donald Trump and Sir Keir Starmer’s face-to-face meeting inScotland. The pair met at Trump's golf resort in South Ayrshire, where they discussed a number of issues - including a proposed ceasefire in Gaza. It comes after Trump met with the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday afternoon and announced a new US-EU trade deal, described as the "biggest deal ever made".
Discussing plans to set up US-supplied food centres in Gaza, the president said: "We do have to take care of the humanitarian needs in what they used to call the Gaza Strip." He continued: "We're going to set up food centres, and we're going to do it in conjunction with some very good people, and we're going to supply funds." Trump continued: "Other nations are joining us - I know your nation's joining us [the UK]."
Trump also expanded on the new deadline he gave Vladimir Putin. "I'll announce it probably tonight or tomorrow, there's no reason to wait," he said after giving the Kremlin just "10 or 12 days" to come to the negotiating table. It would be sanctions and maybe tariffs, secondary tariffs."

'Meghan and Harry sold their souls but there's glimmer of hope for Royal Family'Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s five-year Netflix deal is reportedly coming to an end, and despite speculation about the couple’s next steps in the media industry, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes the Royal Family may have nothing to fear. Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "Trust between the Royal Family and the Sussexes is still in short supply. However, I don’t think the Palace will be overly worried that Harry and Meghan will sell their souls for royal secrets again. What more can there be to say?
"Harry has said he doesn’t want to go on fighting and that, surely, must mean respecting his UK family’s privacy and being discreet about everything he says in public." The expert added that the Sussexes learned the brutal nature of television the hard way.
She continued: "Television is a tough industry where ratings are everything, and only Harry and Meghan’s tell-all documentary series met the Netflix mark. So, unless the Sussexes have come up with some sure-fire, bankable ideas for hit programmes, it seems unlikely that their Netflix contract will be renewed."

'Bonnie Blue behind the scenes disturbed me - her latest plan makes me sick'Bonnie Blue has dominated headlines over the past year, and now the adult performer will star in a documentary titled "1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story". The fly-on-the-wall hour-long show, which lands on Channel 4 tomorrow, promises to deliver full access to the real life of Bonnie Blue.
After watching the doc ahead of its release, the Mirror’s Deputy Features Editor Ellie Fry argued that the viral adult star's dark influence over young men and women is painfully ignored. In an opinion piece, she wrote: "Sadly, Channel 4's deep dive does little to hold Bonnie accountable for the undeniable responsibilities she has as a world famous adult star promoting potentially dangerous sex stunts on social media."
She added: "The star's extreme stunts - from sleeping with 1,057 men in a day and planning to cage herself in a glass box in a sex 'petting zoo' - are merely perpetuating dangerous myths about what women need to do for their partners - and what men should expect in the bedroom."
"It seems as though she deliberately profits from the vulnerability and innocence of the young men and women who agree to appear in her films. And this connection to the everyday public is exactly where that danger lies - it feels so within reach, despite being so extreme," Ellie continued.

Inside Lionesses' celebrations as they party until 4am with Champagne and pizzaThe Lionesses partied into the early hours after lifting the European Championship trophy on Sunday, and our Sports team has provided full coverage on their well-deserved celebrations. After getting through 120 gruelling minutes against Spain, it wasn't long until the Lionesses' unofficial anthem, Sweet Caroline, was being blasted out of the speakers in Switzerland.
Asked what her plans were, Sarina Wiegman - who has now won a remarkable three straight Euros titles - said: “I’ll do some more dancing. I’ll have a drink but I don’t think I’ll drink as much as the players will do." The players had already begun the celebrations in earnest as they walked through the media mixed zone holding cans of beer and boxes of pizza.
But it was once they got back to their hotel when the fun really started. Players and staff were handed a glass of bubbly upon entrance, and in hero goalkeeper Hannah Hampton's case, a dog to celebrate with. Everything had been prepared for them, with Lionesses balloons on the walls and a room packed full of their friends and family wearing England shirts with the names of loved ones on awaiting.
The DJ then got things going, playing Proud by Heather Small, starting the first of many, many singalongs. Freed from Desire by Gala quickly followed before Rockin' All Over the World by Status Quo, with the words changed to "England won two in a row".
