British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and French President Emmanuel Macron met at Downing Street to discuss ways to "intensify" efforts to combat illegal immigration and strengthen ties between the UK and Europe, according to the BBC. This was Burnham's first foreign visit since becoming prime minister. The two leaders also addressed the production of long-range missiles in Ukraine, as part of broader discussions on security and defense. A key topic of the meeting was the growing challenge of "mega boats" illegally crossing the English Channel. These vessels, which first appeared in early August, have become a significant concern after a 15-meter boat carrying 230 migrants reached the UK, setting a new record. In response, Downing Street announced the deployment of 45 additional police officers to French beaches as part of a "reinforcement team" aimed at addressing the rising number of overcrowded and dangerous crossings. The meeting between Burnham and Macron took place shortly after Macron visited the British Museum, accompanied by King Charles III. The museum is currently hosting the Bayeux Tapestry, which has been loaned by France for a ten-month exhibition—a rare cultural exchange between the two nations. In Brazil, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has called for an impartial investigation into the case involving banker Daniel Vorcaro and Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who previously ordered the imprisonment of former President Jair Bolsonaro on charges of attempted coup. Lula emphasized the importance of ensuring justice, regardless of the consequences, in a video posted on X. This comes after a federal police report highlighted alleged connections between Vorcaro, who was jailed in the Banco Master bank collapse investigation, and Judge Moraes. Another judge, André Mendonça, released messages suggesting a possible link between Vorcaro and Moraes, prompting Moraes to demand an investigation into alleged abuse of authority and political bias. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed that the federal government should seek reimbursement from Europe for the ammunition supplied to Ukraine during the administration of President Joe Biden. Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, that Europe should pay for the hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid, which he said would have been provided by European nations if requested earlier. His comments are linked to concerns over the depletion of U.S. ammunition stocks, particularly due to the ongoing conflict in Iran. However, the current White House has denied these claims, asserting that the U.S. is not seeking repayment for the aid provided.
