The European Union has proposed a €90 billion support loan to help cover Ukraine’s budgetary and military needs in 2026–2027.
The loan would be financed through EU borrowing on capital markets and guaranteed by the EU budget. Repayment would only begin once Ukraine receives reparations from Russia for the damage caused by the war.
This initiative aims to ensure Ukraine’s financial stability while supporting its defense and recovery efforts.

Watch PMQs with British Sign Language (BSL) – https://youtube.com/live/kXeqV6DmPng?feature=share
Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.

Social entrepreneurs are not superheroes. They’re people who encounter a problem they can no longer ignore and choose to act. Grounded in the everyday realities of their communities, they build solutions that work – not because they promise the ‘next big tech’, but because they respond to what people and markets actually need.
Amid a year of profound disruption and geopolitical shifts, the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, in partnership with the World Economic Forum, has reimagined its models and pivoted to new opportunities to remain impactful. Their collective response reveals a sector in transition – one that is redefining sustainability through collaboration, adaptability and a renewed commitment to making society a better place.
Over nearly three decades, the Schwab Foundation has built a global community of pioneering social innovators. By fostering a diverse and trust-based community, raising awareness of social innovation models, facilitating collaboration and partnerships, and providing capacity-building resources and learning opportunities, the foundation is committed to scaling social entrepreneurship and innovation worldwide.

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus explains how health taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks help countries protect lives today — and build sustainable, self-reliant health systems for tomorrow. By reducing harmful consumption and generating domestic revenue, health taxes cut healthcare costs while funding health, education, and social protection.
