    It has emerged that Theresa May was only photographed hand-in-hand with Donald Trump because, bizarre as it sounds, the president may have a fear of slopes and needed a soothing arm to negotiate a downhill stretch of path. The image of the pair holding hands was beamed around the world, to the delight of supporters of the new President but to the consternation of those many of them in the UK  far less keen on Mr Trump. But Government sources in Washington DC were suggesting that the hand-holding was not as a result of a deep and lasting friendship after all.

    Saudi Arabia, one of the world's most prominent Muslim nations which has previously been associated with terrorism and religious extremism, is likely to escape censure from Donald Trump. The US leader is expected to sign a draft executive order blocking refugee admissions from Syria, barring all refugees from the rest of the world for at least 120 days and suspending immigration from Syria and six other predominantly Muslim countries, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, for at least 30-days. But the document, which could still be amended before it is officially signed, appears to make no mention of Saudi Arabia, despite the Middle-Eastern country's associations with the largest terror attack on US soil. Of the 19 hijackers involved in the 9/11 attacks on the World...

    Britain and the US will never again invade sovereign foreign countries in an attempt to make the world in their own image, Theresa May told Republican policymakers in Philadelphia. The Prime Minister vowed never to repeat the failed policies of the past in reference to Western military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, breaking from the liberal intervention principle established by Tony Blair.
