This comes as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak continues intense negotiations with the EU over the Northern Ireland protocol, with speculation of a potential deal next week. Meanwhile, international tensions remain high, with the UK and its allies expressing concern over Russia's invasion of Ukraine and pledging support for its security. Despite challenges, leaders are showing solidarity in their efforts to address these issues.
