- Goldman Sachs weighs fresh job cuts as dealmaking drought persists

- Boris Johnson allies challenge UK government claims on Covid messages

- Russia remains UK's top security threat, warns intelligence chief

Overview

Goldman Sachs is weighing a fresh round of job cuts amid a prolonged decrease in dealmaking that has hit profits at the investment bank.

Allies of Boris Johnson have challenged the UK government after it reportedly told the Covid-19 inquiry that it could not hand over the former prime minister's WhatsApp messages and notebooks because it did not have them.

The UK's security priority must remain Europe and the Atlantic, as Russia is the main threat to Britain until the end of the decade, the head of the country's defence intelligence organisation, Adrian Bird, has warned.
