European NATO members are discussing plans to increase the alliance’s defense spending target to 3% of GDP, anticipating potential shifts in U.S. leadership with Donald Trump’s possible return to the White House.

Meanwhile, tensions arise over Prince Andrew’s links to a man barred from the UK on security grounds, as well as concerns about child safeguarding following a recent murder case.
