Western allies are set to meet in Paris to secure more air defence commitments for Ukraine amid Russia's increasing missile and drone strikes.

Nigeria's tax transition and the rule of law: Why legal certainty must remain at the heart of tax reform

The implementation of Nigeria's Tax Acts 2025 is part of a major tax reform programme, promising a simpler tax system, improved revenue administration, greater transparency and a more competitive investment climate. However, the success of this reform depends on the certainty and fairness of its implementation. The transition from the repealed tax laws to the new framework has led to discussions among taxpayers, professional advisers and the Nigerian Revenue Service (NRS). The question of whether new tax legislation can govern income earned before the legislation came into force simply because the tax return falls due after commencement is due, a process that weakens voluntary tax compliance. The National Tax Policy (2017) identifies certainty, fairness, equity, transparency, efficiency and simplicity as key principles for the country's tax system. The Minister of Finance issued the General Transition Guidelines for the Tax Acts 25 on 18 June 2026.

Senate returns to Washington after Sen. Lindsey Graham's death with uncertain agenda

Senate Republicans are returning to Washington with an uncertain agenda following the sudden death of prominent Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a key figure in the Senate who served as a crucial ally with President Donald Trump. Graham, who died Saturday evening after a tear in his aorta, was one of the closest friends of the president and often served as an intermediary with him. His sudden death has shaken Republicans who have been at odds with Trump and stalled on several priorities as they return from a two-week recess. The reduced Republican numbers in the 53-47 Senate are expected to further complicate the situation ahead of the November midterm elections. Despite this, Republicans have been unable to get much done due to disagreements over legislative priorities and disagreements with the White House. The confirmation of Trump’s pick for attorney general, Todd Blanche, and the confirmation of Jay Clayton, who was temporarily blocked by the president, is also uncertain.
