<p>A recent investigation by The Telegraph has uncovered a network of luxury properties scattered across London, all owned by the regime of Vladimir Putin. The combined value comes in an estimated tens of millions of pounds.</p>

<p>These opulent residences are reportedly nestled in some of the capital’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. They have now come under renewed scrutiny amid the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, the British Government revoked the diplomatic status of a few Russian properties suspected of being used for espionage activities.</p>

<p>Among the properties from which the diplomatic premises status was removed&nbsp;in the UK were "Seacox Heath – a Russia-owned property in Sussex – and the Trade and Defence Section in Highgate, which are believed to have been used for intelligence purposes," as per a UK government release earlier this month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Russia on Friday (May 3) reacted to UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron's statement about providing British weapons to Ukraine for the military offensive, calling it "dangerous".</p>

<p>Cameron on Thursday&nbsp;pledged over 3 billion pounds ($3.7 billion) of annual military aid for Ukraine, stating that the UK had no objection if Kyiv wanted to use British weapons against its targets in Russia.</p>

<p>"Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself," Cameron told news agency Reuters during a visit to Kyiv.</p>

<p>Cameron's remarks are quite contrary to that of the United States which has specified that any weapons that it supplies to Ukraine should only be used in its internationally recognised borders than against the targets inside Russia.</p>

<p>Ukraine has said that it uses its own weapons and drones at the time it launches targeted attacks against Russia, aiming at its oil refineries or railway infrastructure.</p>

<h2><strong>Kremlin calls Cameron's comments&nbsp;dangerous</strong></h2>

<p>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dubbed Cameron's remarks as dangerous.</p>

<p>"This is a direct escalation of tension around the Ukrainian conflict, which could potentially pose a danger to European security, to the entire European security architecture," he said.</p>

<p>"This is where we see such a dangerous trend of escalating tension in official statements. This is a cause for our concern."</p>

<p>Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova added: "This is the first time that a Western politician has so frankly acknowledged what has long been a well-known secret for a majority of the world's countries: That the West is waging a covert war against Russia with the hands of Ukrainians."</p>

<p>She said that Moscow would retaliate if Ukraine launched strikes against Russia using British weapons.</p>

<p>"How irresponsible and callous do you have to be not to realise what such statements lead to, especially with regard to countries with nuclear weapons," Zakharova told a briefing.</p>

<p>"We always respond, but how can you not think about the feelings of British subjects and EU citizens."</p>

"This is a direct escalation of tension around the Ukrainian conflict, which could potentially pose a danger to European security, to the entire European security architecture," he said. "This is where we see such a dangerous trend of escalating tension in official statements. This is a cause for our concern." Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova added: "This is the first time that a Western politician has so frankly acknowledged what has long been a well-known secret for a majority of the world's countries: That the West is waging a covert war against Russia with the hands of Ukrainians." She said that Moscow would retaliate if Ukraine launched strikes against Russia using British weapons. "How irresponsible and callous do you have to be not to realise what such statements lead to, especially with regard to countries with nuclear weapons," Zakharova told a briefing. "We always respond, but how can you not think about the feelings of British subjects and EU citizens." (With inputs from agencies)

<p>In their second day of talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators, Hamas maintained that any truce agreement must end the war fully, Palestinian officials said.</p>

<p>Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country was willing to pause fighting in Gaza in order to secure the release of hostages still being held by Hamas, believed to number more than 130.</p>

<p>The United Kingdom's immigration authorities arrested 11 men and one woman recently over allegedly being in breach of their visa conditions and working illegally at a cake factory and bedding and mattress factory.</p>

<p>The UK Home Office on Wednesday (Apr 10) released a statement saying that the Immigration Enforcement officers dismounted the bedding and mattress business in the West Midlands region of Britain after illegal work was being carried out on-site.</p>

<p>Seven men were arrested from there, all said to be Indian nationals over suspected illegal working, said the Home Office.</p>

<p>Later, four more Indian men were arrested at a cake factory over suspicion of being in breach of their visa conditions.</p>

<p>“Four more Indian men were arrested at a nearby cake factory. They were found to be in breach of their visa conditions, and one was also working illegally. An Indian woman was then arrested for immigration offences at a private home, with further raids planned throughout the afternoon,” it said.</p>

<p>The officials, according to news agency PTI, said that four of the offenders were detained pending review over removal from the UK or deportation to India.</p>
