Donald Trump has claimed it was “terrible” of Keir Starmer not to get involved with the US attacks on Iran in his strongest criticism of the prime minister yet.
The US president said he was “very surprised” when Britain refused America’s requests to “send ships over” to the Middle East.

“You’re our oldest ally,” the president said at a press conference while speaking about the UK. “We spent a lot of money on Nato, and all of these things to protect you, we were protecting them, we are working with them to protect Ukraine – that’s thousands of miles away, separated by a vast ocean.
“We don’t have to do that, but we did it – well, Biden did it,” he said.
But he insisted the US did not need to help with that war.
“I think it’s terrible,” Trump continued. “No, I was very surprised. I told him. We requested two aircraft carriers which they had. And he didn’t want to do it.
“Then right after the war essentially ended, meaning they were obliterated, he said, ‘I would like to send the aircraft carriers’.

“I said, ‘I don’t need them after the war was ended and won. I need them before the war’.
“I was very upset with – not upset, I was not happy – with the UK. I think they will be involved, yeah, maybe.
“But they should be involved enthusiastically! We’ve been protecting these countries for years.”
He added: “Putin fears us. He doesn’t fear Nato. There’s no fear of Europe whatsoever.”
Downing Street has been approached for comment.
Trump has been fuming over Starmer’s reluctance to join the US in its offensive against Iran for weeks.
The UK rejected US requests to use British military bases to launch preemptive strikes against Iran shortly before America and Israel struck Tehran.

A day later, Starmer gave Trump permission to use the sites for “limited and defensive” attacks.
The president has repeatedly insisted the PM is trying to join a war after it has already been “won” – even though hostilities continue.
On Saturday, Trump also requested international partners sent warships to the Strait of Hormuz to stop Iranian efforts to close the major waterway.
Starmer has resisted such calls, telling reporters today that the UK “will not be drawn into the wider war”.

Mummification has fascinated historians and scientists for centuries, yet many details about how ancient Egyptians preserved the dead have remained unclear. New research now shows that the distinctive musty scent of mummified remains holds valuable clues about how these elaborate burial rituals were carried out.
A study led by chemists at the University of Bristol found that the smell associated with mummies is not simply the result of aging or decay. Instead, it reflects a complex blend of substances used during embalming, along with preserved fabrics and materials wrapped around the body. Together, these lingering chemical traces reveal how mummification methods changed and became more sophisticated over hundreds of years.
Lead author Dr. Wanyue Zhao, Research Associate in Organic Geochemistry at the University of Bristol, said: “The findings mark a significant step forward in improving our understanding of Egyptian history and the fascinating ritual of mummification. Our analysis of the associated scents has uncovered new insights into how the practice developed through the ages and became increasingly sophisticated.”
Analyzing the Air Around Ancient Remains
To investigate the source of mummy scents, researchers examined the air surrounding extremely small mummy fragments about the size of a peppercorn. This approach differs from traditional techniques, which often require dissolving samples in solvents and can damage delicate artifacts.
The team used a combination of advanced analytical tools including solid phase microextraction, gas chromatography, and high resolution mass spectrometry. These methods allowed them to capture gases inside small sealed containers and separate the different scent components known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) so they could be studied in detail.
The research, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, analyzed 35 samples of balms and bandages from 19 mummies. These remains spanned more than 2,000 years of Egyptian history between 3200 BC and 395 AD. Across all samples, scientists identified 81 distinct VOCs that offer clues about the materials used during the embalming process and the time periods in which the mummies were prepared.
Chemical Clues Reveal Embalming Ingredients
Even when present in extremely small quantities, these chemical compounds helped researchers identify the substances used in preservation. They grouped the compounds into four main categories connected to specific embalming ingredients.
Fats and oils generated aromatic compounds and short chain fatty acids. Beeswax produced mono-carboxylic fatty acids and cinnamic compounds. Plant resins released aromatic compounds and sesquiterpenoids, while bitumen produced naphthenic compounds.
Dr. Zhao said: “Our findings showed the chemical patterns varied across historical periods. Earlier mummies had simpler profiles dominated by fats and oils, while later mummies displayed more complex mixtures incorporating imported resins and bitumen. Such materials were more costly and required more specialized preparation, as the practice became more advanced.”
Different Body Parts Used Different Embalming Recipes
The chemical signatures also varied depending on which part of the body was sampled.
“For instance, samples from heads often contained different patterns than those from torsos, suggesting embalmers applied distinct recipes to separate parts of the body to possibly aid preservation. This is an area which needs further analysis and research to better understand what techniques were used and why,” Dr. Zhao added.
The findings provide a more detailed understanding of known embalming mixtures and offer deeper insight into how these preservation techniques developed over time.
A New Way to Study Mummies Without Damaging Them
Study co-author Richard Evershed, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bristol, said: “Our volatile analysis proved sensitive enough to detect residues at extremely low concentrations. For example, bitumen biomarkers were previously difficult to detect with earlier soluble residue methods.
“This approach expands the study of ancient Egyptian funerary practices, presenting a clearer, fuller picture of mummification recipes, material choices, and preservation strategies.”
The technique could also be valuable for museums and research collections. Sampling the air around mummies provides a fast, non destructive method for examining fragile remains while preserving their physical condition.
Study co-author Ian Bull, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Bristol, added: “Physical sampling still plays a role for detailed work, yet volatile analysis provides an effective and enlightening first step for studying embalmed remains across collections and time periods.”
Photocatalysis offers a promising way to convert the vast supply of sunlight into useful chemical energy. Among the materials attracting growing attention are polyheptazine imides, which have structural and functional features that make them particularly effective for photocatalytic reactions. Until recently, scientists had only limited insight into how changes in their structure influence their electronic and optical behavior across the many possible materials in this family.
Researchers led by a team at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have now introduced a dependable and reproducible theoretical approach to tackle this problem. Their predictions were validated through measurements on real material samples. The team believes this advance could significantly accelerate research on polyheptazine imides and spark rapid growth in the field.
Carbon Nitride Materials and Visible Light Absorption
Polyheptazine imides belong to the broader class of carbon nitrides. These materials consist of layered structures that resemble graphene but are built from nitrogen rich ring shaped molecular units.
While graphene is known for exceptional electrical conductivity, it does not function well as a photocatalyst. Polyheptazine imides differ in a crucial way. Their electronic band gaps allow them to absorb visible light, which makes them suitable for sunlight driven chemical reactions.
Carbon nitride materials also offer several practical advantages. They are relatively inexpensive to produce, non toxic, and thermally stable. However, early versions of these materials did not perform well as photocatalysts because their internal properties limited effective charge separation.
When a photon strikes a material, it can excite an electron and move it away from its original position, leaving behind a positively charged hole. If the electron quickly recombines with the hole, the energy is released only as heat or light instead of driving chemical reactions.
“Polyheptazine imides containing positively charged metal ions exhibit markedly improved charge separation. This feature renders them highly suitable for practical applications,” says first author Dr. Zahra Hajiahmadi.
Computer Modeling Speeds the Search for Better Catalysts
Improved materials are needed to unlock the economic potential of several photocatalytic processes. These include water splitting (to produce hydrogen as a fuel), carbon dioxide reduction (to produce basic carbohydrates as fuels or industrial chemicals), and hydrogen peroxide production (as a basic industrial chemical).
Designing a polyheptazine imide catalyst that performs well for a specific reaction requires careful control over many aspects of its structure. Creating and testing every possible material candidate in the laboratory would be unrealistic. Computational methods therefore play an essential role in narrowing down the possibilities.
“The design space is enormous,” explains Prof. Thomas D. Kühne, Director of CASUS, head of the CASUS research team “Theory of Complex Systems” and senior author of the study. “One can for example add functional groups on the surface or substitute specific nitrogen or carbon atoms with oxygen or phosphorus atoms.”
Kühne’s research group is developing advanced numerical techniques designed to be both efficient and capable of accurately reproducing the chemical and physical behavior of complex materials.
Systematically Testing 53 Metal Ions
A defining feature of polyheptazine imides is the presence of negatively charged pores within the material. These pores can host positively charged metal ions, which can significantly enhance catalytic performance.
Hajiahmadi’s work represents the first comprehensive investigation of how different metal ions influence the optoelectronic properties of these materials. The study examined 53 metal ions in total, categorizing them according to where they sit within the structure (in plane or between layers) and how they alter the geometry of the material (resulting in a distortion or not).
“We used a reliable and reproducible computational framework that goes beyond conventional modeling approaches,” says Hajiahmadi. “Standard computational studies of photocatalysts typically focus on ground-state properties and neglect excited-state effects, despite the fact that photocatalysis is inherently driven by photoexcited charge carriers. Specifically, we employ many-body perturbation theory methods.”
These methods begin with a simplified model system that does not include particle interactions. Interactions are then added as small corrections, allowing researchers to approximate how large numbers of particles affect each other. Although such calculations require substantial computing power and are rarely applied in this field, the new study demonstrates their value. The framework provides an accurate description of how these materials absorb light and how their electronic structure behaves under illumination.
Experiments Confirm Theoretical Predictions
Using their computational approach, the researchers explored how different metal ions alter the structure of the polyheptazine imide network. Their analysis revealed that introducing ions can cause measurable structural changes, including shifts in the spacing between layers and modifications to local bonding environments. These structural variations directly influence the electronic band structure and optical properties of the materials, affecting how efficiently they capture light.
To test their predictions, the team synthesized eight polyheptazine imide materials, each incorporating a different metal ion. The materials were then evaluated for their ability to catalyze hydrogen peroxide production.
“The results clearly showed a high degree of agreement to our predictions and outperformed competing calculation methods,” Hajiahmadi concludes.
Kühne adds: “If there was some doubt about polyheptazine imides being one of the most promising platforms for next-generation photocatalytic technologies, I believe this work put them to rest. The path toward the targeted design of efficient polyheptazine imide photocatalysts for sustainable reactions is clearer now. I firmly believe that it will be taken often and successfully.”
While her sense of humour is perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind when most of us think of Anna Wintour, she certainly managed to raise a smile while presenting at the 2026 Oscars.
Early on in Sunday night’s ceremony, the long-time Vogue editor came on stage to present two awards with Anne Hathaway.

Anne, of course, is the star of The Devil Wears Prada and its upcoming sequel, both of which feature the character Miranda Priestly, heavily rumoured to have been inspired by Anna.
Introducing the Best Costume Design prize, the Oscar winner told the audience: “A character’s costume is key to telling a story.
“One could argue that one’s wardrobe in real life is also key. Does it make one appear elegant and attractive on, say, the most important night in Hollywood, and say when the most important people in fashion will be judging how one looks?”

Turning to her co-host, she continued: “Anna, just curious, what do you think of my dress tonight?”
By way of response, Anna simply donned her sunglasses and declared: “And the nominees are…”
Following this, the duo then announced the winners for Best Makeup And Hairstyling, with Anna intentionally misnaming her co-presenter “Emily” in an even more explicit nod to The Devil Wears Prada.

In the original Devil Wears Prada film and the new follow-up, Meryl Streep plays Miranda Priestly, the editor of the fictitious Runway magazine, whose look and mannerisms have sparked comparisons with Anna Wintour for two decades now.
“I think that the fashion industry was very sweetly concerned for me about the film that it was gonna paint me in some kind of difficult light.”

Praising Meryl’s “fantastic” work in the movie, she then insisted: “I found [the film] highly enjoyable and very funny. It had a lot of humour to it, it had a lot of wit.
“I mean, [the actors are] all amazing. And in the end, I thought it was a fair shot.”
However, the icon made a rare exception for her beloved co-star, concluding the tributes with a short blast of The Way We Were’s signature song, which won the Oscar for Best Original Song back in 1974.

Before her performance, Barbra recalled: “After I read the first script of The Way We Were, I could only imagine one man in the role and that was Robert Redford. But he turned it down because he said the character had no backbone and didn’t stand for anything. And he was right.
“So, many drafts later, Bob finally agreed to do it. He was a brilliant, subtle actor, and we had a wonderful time playing off each other because we never quite knew what the other one was going to do in a scene. And I’m thrilled that The Way We Were is now considered a classic love story – but it’s also about a dark time in our history, the late 40s and early 50s, when people were informing on each other and subject to loyalty oaths.”

She continued: “Bob had real backbone – on and off the screen. He spoke up to defend freedom of the press, protect the environment and encouraged new voices at his Sundance Institute, some of whom are up for Oscars tonight, which is so great.
“He was thoughtful and bold. I called him an intellectual cowboy who blazed his own trail, and won the Academy Award for Best Director. And I miss him now more than ever, even though he loved teasing me. He’d call me ‘Babs’, and I’d say, ‘Bob, do I look like a Babs? I’m not a Babs’. But the way he said it made me laugh.
“Many years later, we were chatting on the phone about the usual – politics, art, our favourites – and as we were hanging up, he said, ‘Babs, I love you dearly and I always will’. And in the last note I ever wrote to Bob, I ended it with, ‘I love you, too’. And I signed it ‘Babs’.”
However, on Sunday night, movie history was made when a seventh occurred.
During this year’s ceremony, Marvel star Kumail Nanjiani was welcomed to the stage to announce the winner in the Best Live Action Short category.
After opening the envelope, he revealed that two of the nominees had received the same number of votes from Academy members, meaning they’d each be awarded an Oscar.

“It’s a tie!” he exclaimed, before assuring the audience: “I’m not joking! It’s actually a tie, so everyone calm down!”

Kumail Nanjiani reveals there’s been a tie at the #Oscars while announcing Best Live Action Short, with “The Singers” and “Two People Exchanging Saliva” sharing the award.
He then explained that he’d be announcing the winners one at a time, first welcoming the producers of The Singers to the stage before the crew behind Two People Exchanging Saliva collected theirs.

Uncomfortably, during the latter, the Oscars team attempted to cut the team’s acceptance speech short, before the night’s host Conan O’Brien then encouraged them to continue.
The Oscars’ most famous tie came in 1969, when screen icon Katharine Hepburn and then-newcomer Barbra Streisand split the win for Best Actress for their performances in The Lion In Winter and Funny Girl.

Back in 1932, the first tie at the Oscars came during the awards show’s fifth year, when Fredric March and Wallace Beery were both named Best Actor.
Technically, the former had received one more vote than the latter, but at this time, a rule was in place meaning that anyone within three votes of the winner would also receive an award.
So Much For So Little and A Chance To Live then split Best Documentary Short in 1950, while a similar draw occurred 37 years later when the features Artie Shaw: Time Is All You’ve Got and Down And Out In America got the same number of votes in the Best Documentary Feature category.

Trevor and Franz Kafka’s It’s A Wonderful Life were the two winners in the Best Live-Action Short category in the mid-1990s, while the latest tie was just over a decade ago, in 2013, with Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall winning Best Sound Editing.
