Richard Sharp, a Conservative Party donor, has resigned as chairman of the BBC after it was revealed he had arranged an 800,000 pound loan for Boris Johnson before he was appointed to the post. The loan was provided by a wealthy Canadian businessman and Sharp failed to disclose a potential conflict of interest. His resignation has further fuelled criticism of the BBC for bias and a lack of transparency.

China has launched a three-day military exercise around Taiwan, dubbed "United Sharp Sword", in response to a meeting between Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen and US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Taipei last week. The drills are a “serious warning” against the Taiwan separatist forces’ collusion with external forces, and are expected to conclude on Monday. The exercises are seen as a warning to the island’s government and are a necessary move to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
