Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

Britain declines to join Canada-led Defence Security and Resilience Bank, agreeing instead to a cooperation framework between separate defense financing institutions
Britain will not join the Canada-led Defence Security and Resilience Bank, according to sources. The two governments issued a joint statement saying they agreed to establish two distinct but complementary institutions and to develop a framework of cooperation between Britain's Multilateral Defence Mechanism and the DSRB. Sources said talks to merge the initiatives failed over disagreements including headquarters location, joint procurement levels, lending to members, and rules for new members.

The split, in one line
All three agree Britain stays out; the official joint statement frames it as complementary institutions, while sourcing adds the failed merger talks and unresolved sticking points over HQ and membership.
