Twenty-two-year-old confesses to killing fifty-one-year-old man in Peyia

Police are looking for a third person in connection with the stabbing of a 51-year-old British man in Peyia. A 22-year-old has already confessed to the killing, which followed what investigators are describing as a family dispute.

The President has arrived in Antalya for the Cop31 climate conference, an official invitation in hand. On the ground, the government is preparing to open a new border crossing between Louroudjina and Lympia, while parliament votes on a formal military partnership with France.

Efforts to restart settlement talks have reached the level of the UN Secretary-General. The UN's envoy has been described by some local commentators as annoying because she is actually trying; the leadership on both sides is seen as less eager for the next step.
