17.01.2025 ⇢ The Day Netanyahu Bent

Labour's economic positioning faced scrutiny as Rachel Reeves defended tax policies amid reports of millionaire exodus plans. London A&E crisis deepened with reports of 12-hour waits without water.
The US Supreme Court's TikTok ban decision shifted attention to Trump's role as "dealmaker-in-chief." A nationwide emergency alert test was announced for UK phones. Manchester United legend Denis Law's death at 84 dominated evening coverage, while reports emerged of GPS jamming near Russian borders affecting civilian flights.
