Guldana Salimjan is a postdoctoral fellow at Simon Fraser University, who also directs the University of British Columbia Xinjiang Documentation Project, a federally funded program documenting the incarceration of ethnic minorities in China’s Xinjiang region.

“I didn’t come here to meet with the crown prince,” Biden said, pointing to his agenda, which included a summit with other Arab leaders. For weeks before his visit to Saudi Arabia, the White House sought to use the summit to deflect criticism of the controversial trip to a nation that Biden has vowed to treat as a pariah.

The first payments will be sent to customers with a total of less than 50,000 yuan ($7,445) deposited in a single bank, they said. Separate arrangements will be announced in due course for customers with more than these on their accounts, the authorities added.

And Sky News will host a debate on Tuesday night at 8pm – after more candidates have been ruled out through further rounds of voting in Westminster....

The former health minister said Mr Sunak had a “tremendous ability” to deal with the challenging economy, but also said his character would suit the top job. “Rishi is one of the most decent straight people with the highest standards of integrity I have ever met in British politics,” he said.

The Saffron Walden MP and former leveling minister has certainly edged ahead of Suella Braverman in the mini-race for prominence among right-wing culture warriors, securing top-level approval from Michael Gove and some positive poll figures. A Gove ally said the former rank and file secretary sees Badenoch as “brilliant” and capable of making tough decisions. There is also mutual loyalty. In the 2019 Tory leadership election, Badenoch resigned as deputy leader of the Conservative party to work on Gove’s campaign....
