#migration #labour #keirstarmer
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says his party's plan to stop illegal migrant crossings will involve working with "EU partners".
Speaking from The Hague, Sir Keir rejected assertions that such a deal with Europe would be a betrayal of the 2016 Brexit referendum, and said the only way to defeat the gangs is to "operate where they're operating, which is in Europe and beyond."

It's been claimed that a Russian pilot deliberately tried to shoot down a RAF spy plane last year, believing he had been given permission to fire.
Russia blamed a "technical malfunction" for the incident over the Black Sea. But intercepted communications reportedly suggest the pilot fired after receiving an ambiguous command from a Russian ground controller.
Professor Michael Clarke has analysed reports detailing a "dangerous" incident involving two Russian jets and a RAF aircraft over the Black Sea.

iPhone 15: Apple forced to ditch lightning charger - BBC News
#Apple #IPhone15 #BBCNews
Apple has confirmed its new iPhone will not feature its proprietary lightning charging port, after the EU forced the change.
The tech giant said that the iPhone 15, unveiled at its annual event on Tuesday, would use a USB-C cable as the "universally accepted standard".
Apple released a USB-C-to-lightning port adapter for £29 ($36). The product connects the lightning port accessories people will have built up over the years to its new USB-C-enabled iPhones or iPads.
The latest iPhone handset, which goes on sale next week, is the first since 2012 to feature an alternative charging port.
