Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer earlier said the conviction of the "vile and sick Southport killer" was welcome but also a "moment of trauma for the nation".

Trump has long been reluctant to give the same military commitment that Biden had given.Instead, his interest in staying the course with US support for Ukraine is more implicit, due to the economic commitments set out in this deal.

That means there would still be a fragility about the commitment of Ukraine's most important ally.One intriguing point highlighted by Ukraine's government is that for the first decade of the reconstruction investment fund, profits will be "fully reinvested in Ukraine's economy", either in new projects or reconstruction.This could be potentially significant if there is no financial benefit for the US for 10 years.

However, this provision does not appear to be in the agreement signed in Washington, although it might later be part of an additional "technical" deal. Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said on social media that "these terms will be subject to further discussion".After that initial 10-year period, Kyiv says profits may be distributed between the partners.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News late on Wednesday that the deal was a signal to the American people that "we have a chance to participate, get some of the funding and the weapons, compensation for those and be partners with the success of the Ukraine people".

Speaking at the White House on Thursday, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller described the deal as "repayment" to the US for the "hundreds of billions of dollars that our taxpayers suspect subsidised the war".When I met Elliot he was one of those people keen to enter the workforce after finishing his education.

But now he’s lost hope. So what went wrong?On leaving school, Elliot had initially been offered a place at a college near home, which his parents said was “wholly inappropriate”. It was for three days a week and designed for people with autism, but Elliot is not autistic. So they took their local authority, North Tyneside Council, to a tribunal.

For disabled people, there can be stark differences in access to quality education.A study from the Education Policy Institute think tank found there were “deeply concerning” inconsistencies in how children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) are supported, while disabled individuals are three times less likely to hold any qualifications than their non-disabled peers and face disproportionate barriers to access higher education.
