The latest highlights in the Financial Times feature key global developments. The US and UK are set to discuss allowing Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles against Russia amidst escalating tensions. Additionally, the European Commission has dismissed attempts by Chinese electric-vehicle manufacturers to avoid substantial tariffs.

EasyJet is pushing for the dismissal of the UK's air traffic control CEO due to ongoing disruption issues affecting their operations. This points to a broader dissatisfaction within the aviation industry. Concurrently, Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to enforce a ban on television junk food advertisements after 9 PM as a new public health initiative.

President Biden's scheduled talks with Prime Minister Starmer revolve around deep-strike weapon policies, following Putin's warnings of potential NATO confrontations. Meanwhile, next week's discussions between Beijing and Brussels could prove pivotal for the electric vehicle market, impacting future trade dynamics. The aviation and public health sectors are set for transformative changes driven by these emerging policies and corporate demands.
