Trans members given deadline to exit British girl scouts
Girlguiding will require non-biological women to leave by September 2026 under new rules following a court ruling
Transgender members in one of Britain’s largest organizations for women and girls, Girlguiding, have been told they must leave by September 2026 under new rules introduced after a Supreme Court ruling on biological sex.
Girlguiding, Britain’s equivalent of the Girl Scouts, said on Tuesday that current trans members will no longer be eligible to stay after September 6. The move follows a December announcement that Girlguiding would no longer admit biological boys who identify as girls.
The rule applies to both young members and female-only volunteer roles. Girlguiding said the September deadline was set “to give as much notice as possible” and to allow all current members to take part in summer activities.

Danish PM’s party suffers worst election result in over a century – exit polls
Migration and welfare concerns have outweighed support for Mette Frederiksen’s defiant stance toward the US over Greenland, analysts say
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats party has suffered its worst election result in over a century, securing about 21.9% of the vote in Tuesday’s general election – its lowest share since 1903 – according to exit polls.
While the party will remain the largest in the Folketing, the Danish parliament, it is projected to drop to 38 seats from 50. The entire left-leaning bloc appears short of a majority, with the Social Democrats, Liberals, and Moderates seen winning 84 seats in the 179-seat parliament, below the 90 needed.
Right-leaning parties are expected to secure at least 77 seats, setting the stage for coalition talks that could take weeks and leaving Frederiksen’s bid for a third term uncertain, analysts said. The Moderates, led by Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, are expected to play kingmaker with 14 seats.
In power since 2019, 48-year-old Frederiksen is known for her backing of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia and a restrictive migration stance.
She called the election way ahead of the October deadline, with experts suggesting she aimed to capitalize on public support for her opposition to US President Donald Trump’s threats to annex Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark in the Arctic which Trump has claimed is crucial to US security. Talks over Greenland’s role in NATO continue, though tensions eased after Trump’s meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte in January, where a “framework of a future deal” was announced.
Analysts say domestic issues – notably rising living costs and strain on welfare – overshadowed Frederiksen’s geopolitical stance. Voters cited rising prices for food, housing, and energy driving a protest vote. Her proposed 0.5% wealth tax on assets above 25 million kroner ($3.8 million) drew criticism as harmful to the economy. Some voters also saw her as too lenient on immigration, despite one of the EU’s toughest systems, including temporary refugee status and strict integration rules. Frederiksen insisted she is ready to remain prime minister despite warning coalition talks will be “difficult.”
“The world is unsettled. There are strong winds around us,” she said. “Denmark needs a stable, competent government. We are ready to take the lead.”

Hungary to halt gas deliveries to Ukraine – Orban
Ukraine will not receive any gas until it restores the flow of Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline, the Hungarian prime minister has announced
Hungary will gradually halt natural gas deliveries to Ukraine until Kiev restores the flow of Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline, Prime Minister Viktor Orban has announced.
In a video posted to his Facebook page on Wednesday, Orban said that Ukraine has been blocking the operation of the Soviet-era oil pipeline for 30 days. “As long as Ukraine does not provide oil, it will not receive gas from Hungary,” he said.
Orban stated that gas that would have been sent to Ukraine will instead be stored in Hungarian facilities, adding that the move is necessary considering that Ukraine “is also attacking the southern gas pipeline that supplies Hungary,” referring to the TurkStream route that brings Russian gas to Hungary via Türkiye and the Balkans.
“We will defend Hungary’s energy security, the protected petrol price, and the reduced gas prices,” Orban declared. He said the country has so far been able to “successfully defend against Ukrainian blackmail” thanks to the protected price scheme, adding that Hungarians pay the lowest prices at gas stations in all of Europe.
Orban’s announcement comes amid a long-running energy dispute between Budapest and Kiev after Ukraine halted oil shipments through the Druzhba pipeline in late January, citing supposed damage from a Russian drone strike.
Moscow has denied the accusations while Hungary and Slovakia, both heavily reliant on the pipeline, have similarly doubted Kiev’s justification, accusing it of deliberately blocking the flow as political blackmail.

Ukraine turns down US ‘paradise’ offer – media
Washington is offering Kiev economic benefits and security guarantees in exchange for a full withdrawal from Donbass, Ukrainskaya Pravda has reported
The US is trying to convince Ukraine to withdraw from the Donbass Region and reach peace with Moscow while promising Kiev security guarantees and sweeping economic benefits in return, Ukrainskaya Pravda reported on Tuesday, citing sources. However, Kiev has so far refused the offer, with Ukrainian officials trying to divert US attention from the issue – even as Washington is running out of patience.
Several Ukrainian officials told the paper that the issue of Donbass, which joined Russia in 2022 in public referendums but partly remains under Kiev’s control – remains one of the key obstacles towards peace. Kiev has consistently refused to pull back from the region, a move Moscow has described as a key prerequisite for sustainable peace.
“The Americans do not see how we can reach an agreement on the main issue,” an unnamed Ukrainian official said, adding that the US could eventually decide to walk out of the settlement talks to focus on Iran and its domestic agenda.
The official noted that the US is “even ready to offer us real security guarantees if we withdraw from Donbass.” A second source remarked that the US-Ukraine talks “feel like there are three sides present at the meetings,” with Ukraine “constantly arguing with the Americans” over the Anchorage framework reached during the Putin-Trump Alaska summit last summer.
“Leave Donbass and we’ll build a paradise for you, as agreed in Alaska,” the source added, describing the US stance.
With US pressure mounting, Ukrainian officials “are spending a lot of time trying to divert the Americans from the idea of withdrawal towards the creation of some economic zones or something else,” a source said. “But at some point, everything is thrown aside, and we again hear: ‘You need to leave.’ And so it goes in circles.”
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky acknowledged US pressure last month but insisted that Kiev is “not losing the war,” even as it gradually loses ground to advancing Russian troops.
The latest round of US-Ukraine talks took place last weekend, with Ukrainian officials saying they were focused on security guarantees and prisoner exchanges.
However, trilateral talks involving Russia remain on ice amid the Iran war, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying the talks were in a ‘situational pause for obvious reasons’ and would resume once schedules were aligned, particularly with the American mediators.
