US and UK announced “Atlantic Declaration” on PM's visit Stateside

The United States and the United Kingdom have announced an "Atlantic Declaration", described by US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as "a new economic partnership, for a new age."


During a joint press conference in the White House on Thursday, the leaders hailed their nations' so-called "special relationship."


Yet the agreement, designed to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, falls short of a comprehensive free trade deal.


From Washington DC, Benji Hyer reports.

India's Foreign Minister accuses China of trying to coerce India

India's Foreign Minister has accused Beijing of trying to coerce its neighbour on the border issue.

For three years now, India and China have been engaged in a border stand-off in eastern Ladakh. While China claims the border is generally stable, India maintains that it is not and that ties with Beijing are 'abnormal'.

India and China fought a war over border differences in 1962 and disagreements over the frontier that is mostly unmarked are common but this is the most tense bilateral ties have been in sixty years.

India's Foreign Minister Dr S Jaishankar says China is the only exception in a long list of countries with which India has pushed for expanded bilateral ties.
