## Resource

Sir Keir Starmer insists he won't step down following his party's heavy election losses in England, Wales and Scotland — but one former minister says she'll try to trigger a leadership contest next week if no-one in the Cabinet comes forward. Also: President Putin watches a scaled-back Victory Day parade in Moscow as a three day ceasefire with Ukraine begins. And British nationals on board the cruise ship at the centre of the hantavirus outbreak are to be taken to a Merseyside hospital.
