Britain will lead a new European project to build a long-range missile capable of ending Nato’s reliance on US weapons.
Diplomats and officials told The Telegraph that the “Deep Precision Strike Coalition” would be unveiled as one of the first steps towards the creation of a European pillar of the military alliance.
Sir Keir Starmer will sign a document committing to the scheme, alongside his German, Dutch and French counterparts.
Continental allies are working to reduce their dependence on the US when it comes to defending against the threat posed by Russia.
Europe is still reeling from the Trump administration’s decision to cancel Biden-era plans to deploy its Tomahawk cruise missiles to the Continent.
Other areas of co-operation will include air defence and satellite intelligence.
Tuesday’s Nato summit, held in Ankara, Turkey’s capital city, is the moment Europe needs to come to terms with America’s waning support, and figure out its plans to stop it ending in disaster.

First the scandal, then the reckoning. In the shadow of an unprecedented assault on sporting integrity, the United States departed their own World Cup with a whimper, beaten 4-1 by Belgium as Donald Trump’s efforts to rescind Florian Balogun’s red card backfired horribly. “Overturn this,” the Belgian federation crowed, having produced the ultimate response to the US president’s attempt to manipulate the result.
There was sorrow in Seattle, and all across the land, as the hosts’ three-and-a-half-week magic-carpet ride at this tournament reached an undignified end. While vast outpourings of joy greeted their victories over Paraguay, Australia and Turkey, the spirit of goodwill was profoundly soured by the brazen interference from the Trump White House, which leant on Fifa president Gianni Infantino to have Balogun reinstated for the last-16 duel with Belgium.
The move has sparked global outrage, with Jurgen Klopp declaring: “It’s our game, not theirs.” For Mauricio Pochettino, the US manager, it marks a bitter end to a campaign that he hoped would be remembered purely for his team’s achievements on the pitch.

Arthur Fery’s dream Wimbledon goes on |
Few would have heard of Arthur Fery before last week, but his thrilling five-set victory has catapulted him to stardom. The crowd watched in disbelief as the qualifier, ranked 114 in the world, dismantled Grigor Dimitrov in a final set tie-break and gave this year’s competition a shot in the arm. Never mind Henman Hill, we could soon be seeing Fery’s field.

The Princess of Wales blows a kiss to a young patient at Evelina London Children’s Hospital |
The King rejected the Duke of Sussex’s request to stay after his son changed his mind |
It is a huge day for Prince Harry, writes Hannah Furness, our Royal Editor. This afternoon, he will learn the result of his High Court claim against the publishers of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday: whether he has won, lost or gained a result somewhere in-between. He will also, by extraordinary coincidence, appear in public for the first outing of his five-day trip to Britain which has caused so much mayhem.
As anyone following this ongoing royal saga will now know, Prince Harry will not be staying at Buckingham Palace and will not be bringing his wife and children to London (although they may, all being well, join him elsewhere later in the week).
The trip is ostensibly about the Invictus Games, which is due to be hosted in Birmingham next year. The lead-up has been pure soap opera. Today we finally get down to business.

At least five county cricket clubs are in line to have their funding cut after failing to comply with board diversity mandates. In a rumbling power struggle between the governing body and county teams, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has threatened to withhold critical funding from first-class domestic cricket clubs that have not appointed an ethnically diverse director and achieved 40 per cent female representation on their boards. A county cricket chairman who stepped down this month has told The Telegraph that the ECB represents the greatest “existential threat” to the sport. Continue reading ➤ |

Duffy is finally returning to music after years of trauma, displacement and public doubt over her account of kidnapping and rape |
The Welsh singer Duffy was almost Britain’s biggest pop star. Her 2008 debut album, Rockferry, sold more than Adele’s 19 in its first year of release, and won three Brit awards. In 2011, she disappeared, staying silent until 2020 when she alleged that she had been kidnapped and raped. Now, she’s back with a forthcoming Disney+ documentary and new music. Eleanor Halls speaks to insiders about the singer’s ordeal and return. Continue reading ➤ |

I love proper British food but, like many of us, my regular cooking repertoire has become increasingly cosmopolitan.
There’s no denying the appeal of global cuisines, but I’ve recently had a hankering for traditional British grub, not least after reporting on a number of restaurants and bakeries bringing back old-school dishes.
So I decided to spend a couple of weeks cooking recipes whose origins are closer to home. With roast dinners still a regular fixture in my household, and having grown up on the likes of toad-in-the-hole and shepherd’s pie, I wanted to discover dishes I’d never cooked.
Taking inspiration from the cookbooks on my shelf, from Jane Grigson to Jamie Oliver, I set about making all manner of meals – some long forgotten, some mostly confined to a particular region, others more commonly found in restaurants or greasy spoons, but rarely in homes. After a diet of suet puddings and tripe and onions, here’s how I fared.

Sent packingEvery weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal reader correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
I like the idea of being a light packer, breezing off insouciantly to far-flung corners of the world, but the truth is that I’m more of a forgetful one. If my suitcase acquits itself particularly well during the baggage weigh-in, it’s probably because I’ve somehow neglected to include, say, a single pair of trousers. Hello, airport clothes shop, my old friend.
In response to Greg Dickinson and Tamara Abraham’s article, we’ve heard from readers who really have mastered the art. Alan Green explained: “I left Britain a month ago and will return next week. I spent a week in Boston, then just over two in Nova Scotia, and am in Bermuda at present. So far, I have worn only two pairs of shorts and two T-shirts. One of each is washed every evening and dries overnight. I don’t wear socks, and travel in one pair of Skechers shoes. I have a thin zip-up jacket, and do confess to buying a thin, long-sleeved top in Prince Edward Island when the temperature dropped to 7C.”
Julia Evans added: “Your feature on packing was instructive, but I think the writers still included too much. My husband and I flew to Denver, Colorado, for a wedding, then travelled on to Boston. After that we hopped on the ferry to Nantucket for a friend’s birthday. We took only a backpack each, wearing our wedding jackets and jeans to travel in. All you need is cashmere, linen and a swimming outfit, which doubles as spare underwear.”
It’s not just North American excursions that inspire such minimalism. Neil Sewell-Rutter recalled: “My lifetime best in the noble art of packing light was a three-week stint in Greece during which I had only a carry-on suitcase and a Panama hat. I wore a pair of all-purpose boots so as not to have to pack extra shoes. At the end of my trip, the doorman of an expensive hotel in Thessaloniki treated me with the mixture of compassion and contempt that such bohemian footwear rightly deserves.” Do you travel light, or do you fall into the “just in case” school of packing?
