Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned India against using force against Islamabad. The move comes in the aftermath of the worst militant attack on Indian forces in Indian-administered Kashmir for decades. If you think you can launch any sort of attack on Pakistan. Pakistan will not think about retaliating. It will retaliate. There will be no other option left, and Pakistan will retaliate and reply. Mr. Kahn also called on India to provide evidence to support its claims that Pakistan was involved in the attack. More than forty members of India security forces died in the suicide bombing. The Islamic group Jaish-e-Mohammad says it carried out the attack, but India says Pakistan's intelligence agency was also involved.

The Japanese carmaker Honda has confirmed that it plans to close a factory in Britain with the loss of three and a half thousand jobs. The plant is due to close in two years' time. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports from Tokyo on the reason for the decision. Honda CEO Takahiro Hachigo said the decision to end production in the United Kingdom was not related to Britain leaving the European Union. Instead, he said the decision was driven by the dramatic changes taking place in the world car markets, in particular the need to move rapidly to electric vehicles. In that light, He said the UK's position as a global manufacturing hub is no longer viable.
