    Britain Prepares for Nationwide Blackout

    Britain is preparing for a potential nationwide blackout that could last for up to 72 hours, leaving millions without electricity, running water, mobile networks, or access to basic services. The preparations follow recent blackouts in Europe and growing concerns about cyberattacks and sabotage targeting national electricity grids. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has urged households to keep emergency supplies, including three days' worth of food, water, and basic necessities. The government is also investing £70 million in high-altitude aircraft to restore emergency mobile and internet connectivity. Around 100 BBC staff are designated to operate an emergency radio service, equipped with independent communications and enough supplies to function for at least three days.

This comes on top of the previously pledged 90 billion euro loan. The EU aims to cover about two-thirds of the 70 billion euro funding shortfall, with the most likely option being a similar credit scheme involving joint borrowing backed by Russian assets.
