It is a "personal decision" for Sir Keir Starmer whether he chooses to fight any potential leadership contest, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has said.

She told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that Sir Keir had "shown before that he's up for a fight" and "I wouldn't write off the prime minister".

The PM has defied calls to step down in recent days, after nearly 90 of his own MPs urged him to go and five ministers resigned.

Heatwave conditions that have left Spain, France and the UK sweltering for days are set to shift to the east, with forecasters in Germany and the Czech Republic now warning of extreme conditions.

Prince Harry has been denied royal security protection for an upcoming family visit to the UK, potentially jeopardising plans for the Sussexes and their children to travel together. The visit was intended to include taking the children to Princess Diana's final resting place, but Harry has consistently stated he will not bring Meghan and the children to the UK without full royal security. Reports suggest Harry may be hoping King Charles will intervene to overturn the security decision, though he declined an offer to stay at a royal residence where security would be provided.

As governments and businesses confront their reliance on US tech giants, AI Decoded explores whether Britain can build its own AI future — and how quickly it must act.

Now, a sudden decision from Washington is sending shockwaves through the global AI industry, restricting access to some of America’s most advanced systems — even for its allies.

For UK companies, it raises a stark question: what happens when the technology you depend on is no longer available?

Presenter Marc Cieslak is joined by Yang Li of East London startup Cosine, now racing to build a “sovereign” British alternative as demand surges following the US clampdown. Tech author and Bloomberg reporter Katrina Manson also joins to unpack the national security stakes, alongside co-host Stephanie Hare.

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Johannesburg, demanding stronger action against illegal immigration and urging the South African government to tighten enforcement. The demonstrations come amid rising anti-migrant sentiment and reports of violence targeting foreign nationals, prompting many African immigrants to leave the country. Protest groups have blamed immigrants for unemployment, crime, and public service failures, though they have not provided evidence for those claims. The unfolding situation has intensified debate over immigration, public safety, and social tensions in Africa's largest economy.

Keir Starmer has stepped down as UK prime minister, saying he “a new leader will be in place before Parliament returns in September, I will remain in post until the contest is complete”.

It is the sixth prime ministerial resignation in the UK in 10 years.

After U-turns on major policies, the appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson as UK ambassador to the US, and major Labour losses in local elections in May, the pressure was ramping up.

While Starmer had been vowing to fight any leadership challenge, the tone shifted after Andy Burnham beat Reform UK in the Makerfield by-election on Thursday.
