UK draws up overland rescue plan for 94,000 Britons trapped in Gulf states
Officials are planning to evacuate hundreds of thousands of Britons as fires raged across the Gulf last night.
After the US air strikes on Tehran, and Iran's suicide-drone revenge attacks on tourist hot-spots including Dubai, 94,000 British citizens have registered their contact details with the Foreign Office - many of them holiday-makers visiting the region or transiting through it.
It came as Keir Starmer agreed to a US request to use British military bases to hit Iranian missile sites.
Aberdeen’s Commerce House could become private GP
An empty historic Aberdeen office building could be given a new lease of life with plans to turn it into a private GP clinic.
According to documents submitted to Aberdeen City Council, Commerce House could be transformed into spaces for private professionals including medical, therapy, wellness and fitness.
There would also be consultation rooms, therapy suites, and physiotherapy areas for private practices.
Consultation on social media ban for under-16s to begin
A public consultation on whether to ban social media for under-16s is being launched on Monday, inviting young people and their parents and guardians to submit comments ahead of a government decision on the proposal.
The debate over a minimum age for social media use has been fired up by Australia's decision last year to ban children from a range of platforms including Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and TikTok.
Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said the consultation would help establish how young people could "thrive in an age of rapid technological change".
Major changes to asylum system set to come into force
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will announce that from Monday any asylum seeker successfully given refugee status in the UK will be offered only temporary protection.
The move represents one of the most significant changes to the UK's asylum system for a generation and is likely to anger some on Labour's left wing.
But these measures will come into force without a parliamentary vote as they simply change existing rules.
