Here’s a quick summary of what has happened around the world over the last 24 hours, brought to you exclusively by British Herald.
Travelling is stressful- and travelling as the bodyguard of the former Prime Minister of your country might be even more so. In a major slip-up, a loaded pistol and Cameron’s passport were left behind in the British Airlines toilet by his bodyguard, only to be found shortly after by a passenger. Needless to say, it led to quite a bit of commotion.
Landing straight into post-Brexit happiness- investors expect to plough billions of pounds into UK commercial real estate this year, citing some long-awaited clarity after last week’s departure from the European Union.
Also, Britain’s aviation industry has set out plans to reach a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, even with the building of a third runway at Heathrow airport which is expected to drive up flight numbers.
Move over soap operas- the drama that has been gripping the world over the past 24 hours is here!
A bitter feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and top Democrat Nancy Pelosi boiled over at his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, with Trump denying her a handshake and Pelosi ripping apart a copy of his remarks behind his back.
Trump avoided the subject of his impeachment drama in a pugnacious 80-minute speech, but the scars from the battle were evident with fellow Republicans giving him standing ovations while rival Democrats, for the most part, remained seated.
The Republican-led Senate was expected to acquit him of charges he abused his powers and obstructed Congress during a vote beginning at 4 p.m. EST (2100 GMT) on Wednesday.
Seeing Pelosi, the U.S. House of Representatives speaker, for the first time since she stormed out of a White House meeting four months ago, Trump declined to shake her outstretched hand as he gave her a paper copy of his remarks before starting to speak.
Despite having not spoken to Trump since their last meeting, Pelosi appeared to be taken aback. She avoided citing the customary “high privilege and distinct honour” that usually accompanies the speaker’s introduction of the president to Congress.
When his speech ended, Pelosi stood and tore up her copy of the remarks he had handed her, later telling reporters it was “the courteous thing to do, considering the alternative.”
