The children of murdered Muriel McKay lost their High Court bid for an injunction that would have allowed them to use ground-penetrating radar to search for her remains in an East London garden. Mr. Justice Richard Smith denied the request, citing insufficient evidence and the "egregious conduct" of the family's representatives toward the homeowner.   The judge stated he was "not persuaded that even if a survey was carried out, that it would be conclusive one way or the other" and found the evidence for her remains being at the site "thin". The police had also decided that the new information did not meet their evidential threshold to launch a search themselves.

Ukraine's government and the majority of its public are staunchly opposed to formally ceding territory to Russia, viewing it as an existential threat to their sovereignty and national existence. Any plan requiring such concessions would likely face strong political and public backlash, potentially leading to political instability for the current leadership.  President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly and explicitly stated that Ukraine will not "gift" or surrender land to Russia. The Ukrainian parliament even passed a resolution in August 2023 that prohibits territorial concessions to end the war.
