 Russian forces to stay in Mali to fight terrorism: Kremlin The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russian forces would stay in Mali to help the country's government battle terrorists following an offensive over the weekend by Tuareg-led separatists and terrorists. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement after being asked by a reporter how Russia responded to a purported statement from the terrorists saying they wanted Russia to leave Mali. "Russia's presence there is, in fact, due to the need identified by the current government. Russia will continue, including in Mali, to combat extremism, terrorism and other harmful phenomena and will continue to provide assistance to the current government," said Peskov, AFP reported.

Britain considers stricter rules for migrants applying for permanent residency


Britain is considering stricter rules for migrants seeking permanent residency, requiring applicants to demonstrate their value to society, Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood is set to announce on Monday. The proposals are part of the government’s effort to respond to the growing popularity of the populist Reform UK party, which has pushed a hardline immigration agenda and prompted Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party to tighten its policies.

Currently, most migrants can apply for “indefinite leave to remain” after five years in Britain, granting them permanent residency. Mahmood will outline plans to make eligibility conditional on paying social security contributions, maintaining a clean criminal record, and avoiding reliance on benefits. Additional requirements under consideration include demonstrating high-level English proficiency and a record of community volunteering. A public consultation on the proposals is expected later this year.

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has suggested scrapping indefinite leave to remain in favor of a renewable five-year work visa. Starmer criticized the plan as a “racist policy” that could lead to mass deportations and societal division. Immigration remains a central issue in British politics, influencing the 2016 Brexit vote, even as net arrivals have reached record levels since the country left the European Union.
