👀 “The yields have come back up. Have you talked to him [Bessent] about another type of intervention [in bond markets]? …" President Trump: "We have many types of intervention. That's one. The ultimate intervention is our military. And if we have to use that, we will, yeah."

Kevin Keegan was gifted, charismatic and passionate among the highs and some lows. Magnificent player loved at Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and - arguably - most of all as player and manager at Newcastle United. What a life. bbc.com/sport/football/artic…

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan, one of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history. Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters.

“What wretched question have you prepared?” My surreal Q&A with Alexander Lukashenko last Sunday. He claimed his opponents had “chosen” prison or exile (in reality the authorities had chosen to target them.) Thanks @LizaShuvalova @AntonChicherov

My first opportunity to ask Vladimir Putin a question since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It came at the end of the BRICS summit in Kazan. Producer @LizaShuvalova

Goods prices have moved from inflation to DE-flation. It will take a while, of course, for that to relieve the pressure for most households - because the cost of living is still well up on where it was. But it was goods prices that drove it up - and now they're pulling it down:

Nice to see Rishi Sunak being challenged about yesterday's story revealing how the Post Office ditched a secret investigation that might have helped subpostmasters prove their innocence. I'm not sure he actually answered, but it's great he was asked: bbc.co.uk/news/business-6836…

The Post Office scandal doesn't stop with the Post Office. Read this for the low-down on a story that emerges from documents released under Freedom of Information. Assembled in a timeline, they become a little unsettling...This is top story this morning: bbc.co.uk/news/business-6814…
