Huhne vows to mount ‘robust’ defence
LONDON: British Prime Minister David Cameron made a third unwanted shake up of his government since 2010 on Friday after cabinet minister Chris Huhne quit as prosecutors charged him over an alleged attempt to pin a speeding penalty on his ex-wife.

William’s Falklands stint just ‘routine’
BRUSSELS: British Defence Secretary Philip Hammond sought on Friday to ease tensions with Argentina over Prince William’s deployment to the Falklands, saying it was merely a routine stint for an air force pilot.

Separated fathers to get more rights
LONDON: Fathers separated from their families will get increased rights to see their children under reforms being unveiled in Britain next week, the government said on Friday.

New rules for court cases will...
