After a week of headlines being dominated by the latest from the Trump administration, Friday’s UK headlines are focused on local and domestic issues. 

The sun continues to shine this morning with the beautiful weather set to continue into the weekend. Yesterday, the UK recorded the hottest day on record (so far) – and it’s not just the weather that’s heating up – the headlines are too.

What’s dominating the USA news headlines? Politics, politics, politics! Protests are sweeping the US – as are measles – with anti-Trump and anti-Musk protests expected in Florida today, there’s coverage of the US economy as fears of a recession start to climb and perhaps the biggest story for the US today is news that the US and Ukraine sign minerals deal in major breakthrough.

The UK is set for the hottest day of the year (so far) today — and the sun is already shining across the capital. With temperatures soaring, it’s not just the weather that’s heating up — the news cycle is packed, too. 

Wednesday is set to be another scorcher with the sun already blaring across the capital the soaring heat is expected all week across the UK. Most of us have our fingers crossed that the heat will last all weekend too – but until then let’s get down to business! 

So grab a coffee and let’s take a quick look at the headlines dominating the UK news this morning.

You might as well get used to it – the sun is out and it’s here to stay (for at least a week). As the sun rolls out across the UK today, it’s already clear blue skies across the capital. So, let’s grab a coffee and have a run-through of today’s news bulletins.

Politics continues to dominate the American headlines this morning, 24 April 2025, as Donald Trump signals the tariff war is slowing down, which has settled the markets a bit, along with Trump’s statement that he has no plans to fire the Federal Reserve boss, Jerome Powell.

Trump’s comments on Ukraine, and his new US-led deal, which would require Ukraine to hand over Crimea to Russia, are making national and international headlines. Trump has said he will walk away from Ukraine if a deal isn’t reached soon.

Ukraine is back in Britain’s headlines after US President Donald Trump insisted that Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, is jeopardising a peace deal with Russia. The US has repeatedly threatened to walk away if Ukraine doesn’t sign the latest peace deal – which would include handing over Crimea.

This comes as Russian missile and drone attacks battered the Ukrainian capital overnight, killing at least nine people and injuring a further 63.

US news is today heavily domianted by politics, tariffs and stock markets. The US President has clarified that he has no plans to fire Fed boss Jermone Powell despite complaining about his performance via Twitter/X.

The President has also hinted he may reverse his trade tariffs on China as the IMF downgrades the global economy forecasts and warns of a US recession.
