Former US President Barack Obama has issued a warning to Democratic presidential candidates, cautioning them against policies that are not "rooted in reality". Mr Obama said Democrats risked alienating voters if they lurched too far to the left politically. The former president, speaking at a fundraising event, said most voters didn't want to "tear down the system". Mr Obama is yet to publicly back a Democratic candidate. The field is crowded, with 18 Democrats vying for the nomination to take on Republican President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The Democratic 2020 race - in five charts Who will take on Trump in 2020? The key issues for 2020 Democrats The frontrunners are former Vice-President Joe Biden, senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. At the event held in Washington on Friday, Mr Obama did not mention any candidate by name nor criticise any specific policy proposal. Instead, he used the appearance to urge Democrats to "pay some attention" to voters on issues such as health care and immigration. These voters, Mr Obama said, did not necessarily have the same views as what he called "certain left-leaning Twitter feeds" or "the activist wing of our party". The comments, which come less than four months before the Democratic primaries, represent one of Mr Obama's most pointed interventions in the race so far. They may be seen as a critique of senators Sanders and Warren - widely seen as two of the most left-wing candidates in the field. Both candidates have called for far-reaching political and economic change, including policies that would end private health insurance and decriminalise illegal border crossings. But Mr Obama, who occupied the White House from 2009 to 2017, said the country was "less revolutionary than it is interested in improvement". "Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision, we also have to be rooted in reality," Mr Obama said at the meeting, reportedly attended by wealthy liberal donors. The Democratic race is still largely up in the air even as the first of the state-by-state votes that will decide which of the contenders challenges Mr Trump for the White House looms in Iowa in February. Some Democrats are concerned that Mr Biden, a moderate, will struggle to beat Mr Trump, prompting a flurry of latecomers to join the race. In recent days Deval Patrick, the two-time former governor of Massachusetts, entered the field amid speculation that former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg may follow suit.

In a “blunt” interview with The Economist, Macron said Europe stands on “the edge of a precipice”, and needs to start thinking of itself strategically as a geopolitical power otherwise “we will no longer be in control of our destiny.” “What we are currently experiencing is the brain death of Nato. You have no coordination whatsoever of strategic decision-making between the United States and its Nato allies” he said, singling out the “uncoordinated aggressive action by another Nato ally, Turkey, in an area where our interests are at stake”. Accusing the Trump administration of turning its back on its long-standing partners in Europe, he also said he was unsure whether he still believed in the “collective defence” sti[CENSORED]tions of article five of Nato’s founding treaty, under which an attack against one member is considered an attack against all members. Trump has frequently accused European Nato members of failing to provide their fair share of military spending and for relying too heavily on the US for their defence. Last year, he threatened to “moderate” Washington's commitment to the alliance if members fail to meet a 2% of GDP defence spending target. By contrast, his abrupt decision to pull most US forces out of north-eastern Syria in October angered many European Nato members and opened the way for Turkey, itself a powerful Nato member, to push into Syria and expel Kurdish fighters from a security zone along its border. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– For a round-up of the most important stories from around the world - and a concise, refreshing and balanced take on the week’s news agenda - try The Week magazine. Get your first six issues for £6 ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– “This about much more than one US president” says BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Marcus. “Nato must defend against multiple threats which different countries perceive in different ways. And a number of allies seem less and less keen to espouse the liberal democratic values that lie at Nato's core”. The Guardian says Macron's comments amount to a “questioning of Nato’s effectiveness and suggestion European countries in the 29-member alliance should reassess their situation” ahead of a 70th anniversary summit with leaders including Donald Trump in the UK early next month. Highlighting “the deep splits between Europe and the US over the transatlantic military alliance” the Financial Times reports his remarks “triggered angry private reactions from some European diplomats who saw them as damaging to Nato — if not necessarily untrue”. In a sign of splits within Europe as well, DW says Macron's remarks are “a long way” from those made by German Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer a day earlier, in which she described the alliance as a cornerstone of modern Europe. “Nato is and will remain the anchor of European security,” Kramp-Karrenbauer said at a private event with Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg. “But it is also clear that Europe must increase its own complementary ability to act.” Reuters reports France “has long pressed for closer European defense cooperation but has faced resistance from Britain and others which say the United States remains key to Western defense, especially in the face of a more assertive Russia”. Then again, when it comes to mechanics, The New Order doesn't do much to differentiate itself from the glut of shooters that come out every year. Blazcowicz has a typical array of weapons at his disposal -- a knife, a pistol, a machinegun, a sniper rifle, and so on -- as well as some Nazi future tech, like laser rifles, that give the game the alternate history feel that Wolfenstein has thrived on for 22 years. Gunplay is fun and fluid, though I have to question the inclusion of dual-wielding, which, while cool in theory, is exceptionally cumbersome and entirely inadequate in heated firefights. Combat is made more dynamic by a heavy emphasis on stealth, which is both a blessing and a curse in The New Order. Slinking around wide-open maps and linear corridors -- knife in hand -- is satisfying, especially when you score a stealthy kill with a slash or toss of your blade or the shot of a silenced pistol. I also enjoyed the inclusion of special enemies with the ability to call endless reinforcements if you're spotted. By finding and killing them in secret, you can mitigate the challenges presented by specific areas while illuminating the locations of secret items on your map (like gold, Enigma codes, and letters). It's just a shame that these stealth mechanics expose some questionable and inconsistent AI that seems designed to make things a bit easier on you if you opt to play with a quiet slant. Sometimes it seems blind, both to you and to the freshly knifed bodies of their compatriots under their feet. Developer Machinegames did bring some novelty to the experience, however, especially when it comes to The New Order's skill progression system. It isn't based on leveling up or spending skill points; rather, dozens of skills are nestled underneath four separate headers, and they're unlocked by completing tasks in-game, like scoring headshots, killing foes from cover, or eliminating your enemies with potato masher grenades. Better yet, many of these skills must be unlocked in sequence, giving the entire scheme some depth. I really liked this system; it feels genuinely unique next to many of Wolfenstein's shooter contemporaries. Where The New Order really shines, however, is in its plot, characters, and presentation. It's swimming in cool, alternate history lore that makes Wolfenstein feel strangely believable. While the Nazis didn't actually build large, building-sized machines, affix plate armor to their dogs, or implant human brains into mechs, it's honestly not that far-fetched to think they might have tried if the Allies didn't extinguish them in 1945. These are the people that performed heinous experiments on living humans, obsessed over racial purity with their Ahnenerbe-affiliated pseudo-scholars, and even contemplated building something called the Sun Gun, not to mention endless arrays of special missiles, nuclear bombs, jet aircraft, helicopters, and more under the moniker of Wunderwaffe. That's all real, so it's not too farfetched to think that if Nazi scientists in the real world were experimenting with, say, bone and nerve transplants, that they might have eventually tried to do it with the human brain, too. Wolfenstein seems to understand this, even if it's taken to a still unrealistic degree. Machinegames should also be commended for artfully working unsanitized references to real-life Nazi atrocities into its alternate history story without fear of offending anybody. You're given startling glimpses into Nazi's systematic mistreatment of the mentally ill and handicapped, a first-hand look at a forced labor camp, and plenty of allusions to Nazi treatment of non-Aryan people around the world, including in occupied America. All of this, peppered into in-game and pre-rendered cutscenes, makes The New Order feel surprisingly human, and your situation quite desperate. The New Order has a wide array of environments to explore that highlight some what-ifs of a victorious Nazi Germany. In Wolfenstein, the Nazis have a thriving space program, devastating ordnance, and an all-new, gilded version of their capital city, Berlin. Some of these areas seem a little vacant when it comes to foot and car traffic, but it's cool to see Machinegames' vision of this terrible new fascist-dominated world. Unfortunately, scouring these environments can sometimes be a bit of a grind, especially when you're constantly collecting endless amounts of health, armor, and ammunition, each of which requiring the press of a button. Oftentimes, I'd see the on-screen prompt to collect something before I could even see what I'm collecting, taking away from the immersive nature of the world. Why can't I just pick up the ammo by walking over it? This aspect of The New Order made it feel very old.

Hospital performance in England is at its worst level on record, data shows. Key targets for cancer, hospital care and A&E have been missed for over three years - with delays for hospital care and in A&E hitting their highest levels since both targets were introduced. The monthly figures - the last before the election - prompted Labour and the Liberal Democrats to attack the Tories' record on the NHS. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson said "huge demand" was to blame. He said only the Tories could be trusted to have a "strong, dynamic economy" to ensure the rises in the NHS budget being planned could be made. "I'm afraid when I look at the rival proposals and the economic disaster that Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party would cause, that will make it impossible for us in the long term to fund the NHS." But Labour leader Mr Corbyn said the performance figures were "disgusting" and a lack of staff and funding was to blame. And Liberal Democrat health spokeswoman Luciana Berger said the Tories had a "shameful" record. Is the NHS facing unprecedented demand? All the parties are proposing to increase the NHS budget. The government announced a five-year funding plan last year, which would see the front-line budget rise by 3.4% a year up to 2023. On Wednesday, Labour said it would spend more - 3.9% extra a year. The Lib Dems are proposing to use a penny rise in income tax to invest extra in social care, mental health and public health. How bad is performance? Demand for all services is rising and the NHS is still managing to see the over-whelming majority in time. But performance has been deteriorating for a number of years - and is now well below what it should be. The figures show: 4.42 million patients on the waiting list at the end of September, the highest number ever 84.8% of them waiting under 18 weeks - below the 92% target and the worst performance since the target started was introduced, in 2012 76.9% of cancer patients starting treatment within 62 days - below the 85% target 83.6% of A&E patients admitted or transferred within four hours in October - below the 95% target and the worst performance since the target started was introduced, in 2004

Outgoing European Council President Donald Tusk has urged British voters not to "give up" on stopping Brexit. As campaigning ramps up ahead of next month's general election, he warned that leaving the EU would leave the UK a "second-rate player". In a speech, he also said Brexit would likely mark the "real end of the British Empire". He is due to step down from his role next month, having held the post for five years. Mr Tusk's intervention comes as Conservative leader Boris Johnson said the UK Parliament was "paralysed" and had refused "time and again to honour the mandate of the people and to deliver Brexit". Brexit's fate in British hands, says Tusk PM vows to close 'opportunity gap' after Brexit Where do the parties stand on Brexit? Meanwhile, the UK has continued to refuse to put forward a candidate for the next European Commission, which is due to take office next month if approved by MEPs. The BBC understands the UK's EU ambassador has written to the Commission saying that a candidate will not be put forward due to the election. In the letter, Sir Tim Barrow is understood to say pre-election rules prevented ministers from putting forward nominees for jobs at EU institutions until after polling day. However, he is understood to have insisted the UK does not want to stop the Commission being formed as soon as possible. Mr Johnson is hoping to win a majority in 12 December's election so that he can take the UK out of the EU on 31 December with the deal he negotiated with Brussels. But Labour is promising to renegotiate that deal and put it to a referendum, with the option of remaining in the EU, if it wins the election - and smaller opposition parties are campaigning to Remain. Brexit 'extra time' Speaking at the College of Europe in Bruges, Mr Tusk said: "Brexit may happen at the beginning of next year. "I did everything in my power to avoid the confrontational no-deal scenario and extend the time for reflection and a possible British change of heart". "The UK election takes place in one month. Can things still be turned around? "The only words that come to my mind today are simply: Don't give up. "In this match, we had added time, we are already in extra time, perhaps it will even go to penalties?" Donald Tusk's term of office ends in a few weeks' time. Which means he's prepared to brave accusations that he's interfering in the general election. And that he feels free to challenge the sense developing among the rest of the EU, that it would be better if the UK left as soon as possible. Speaking at the College of Europe in Bruges tonight, he quoted the philosopher Hannah Arendt to encourage those campaigning for Britain to remain. His message was simply not to give up. The EU has accepted an extension to the Brexit deadline, meaning the UK is now due to leave at the end of January 2020. Mr Tusk has repeatedly hinted he would like to see the UK stay in the bloc - but his comments, in the midst of an election campaign - are likely to be controversial. He acknowledged this in his speech, adding his remarks were "something I wouldn't have dared to say a few months ago, as I could be fired for being too frank". He added that a "longing for the Empire" could be heard in the voices of Brexiteers who strive to make the UK "global again" through leaving the EU. "But the reality is exactly the opposite. Only as part of a united Europe can the UK play a global role," he added. "One of my English friends is probably right when he says with melancholy that Brexit is the real end of the British Empire." Mr Tusk is due to stand down from his role on 1 December, when he will be replaced by former Belgian PM Charles Michel.

The prime minister has announced more support for communities in parts of northern England affected by flooding. Boris Johnson made the commitment following a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee earlier. He had faced criticism from Labour and the Liberal Democrats who said he should declare a "national emergency". Mr Johnson said it had been "an absolute tragedy for those who have seen such damage to their homes and livestock". He said authorities were working "flat out" and a request had been made for "a little bit more help" from the military in getting sandbags and other defences to some of the areas affected. Among the measures announced by Mr Johnson were: An extra 100 Army personnel deployed from Wednesday to support the recovery effort in South Yorkshire Funding for local councils where households and businesses have been affected - equivalent to £500 per eligible household Up to £2,500 for small and medium-sized businesses which have suffered severe impacts not covered by insurance Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had earlier said the government's response was "woeful" while Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson called for "long-term policy changes". Mr Corbyn said if the flooding had happened in Surrey it "would have been a very different story". Both leaders urged the prime minister to declare a "national emergency".

Chinese firm Jingye says will invest £1.2bn in British Steel as it signed a deal to rescue the UK steelmaker. It also said it would seek to "preserve thousands of jobs in a key foundation industry for the UK" but did not put a number on how many would be saved. British Steel employs about 4,000 people in Scunthorpe and Teesside. It has been kept running by the government via the Official Receiver since May, when the company went into liquidation. Jingye said it anticipated making job offers "to as many employees across the business as possible". Group chairman Li Ganpo said it would spend £1.2bn over the next decade in upgrading plant and machinery, "improving the company's environmental performance... and boosting energy efficiency to place the operations on a more competitive and sustainable footing". It also said it would aim to identify new markets and products. National security Business Minister Andrea Leadsom said she had met with Jingye's chairman on Monday. "I have been given reassurances that next to all current staff will be kept and that in the medium to longer term they are likely to want to expand the workforce" she said. The deal will give the Chinese company control of a third of the UK's steel industry. But Ms Leadsom said: "There aren't any national security issues with this acquisition. "In my dealings with Jingye, I think they will show themselves to be very committed to continued and expanded production [here] in Scunthorpe and on Teesside." Jingye will acquire the steelworks at Scunthorpe, UK steel mills and shares of FN Steel BV, British Steel France Rail SAS and TSP Engineering. The sale also includes the shares owned by BSL in Redcar Bulk Terminal. A statement from the Official Receiver said: "Completion of the contract is conditional on a number of matters, including gaining the necessary regulatory approvals. The parties are working together to conclude a sale as soon as reasonably practicable. "The business will continue to trade as normal during the period between exchange and completion. Support from employees, suppliers and customers since the liquidation has been a critical factor in achieving this outcome." One worker at British Steel in Scunthorpe told the BBC: "It has been a big concern, nobody knew what was happening... whether they had a job, could pay the mortgages, feed the families. It is great news." Why is this news so important? Gareth Stace, director general of industry lobby group UK Steel, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the business being bought was a "significant asset to our country". He said that there was a need for "very significant investment" in the Scunthorpe works and that was why the deal with Jingye was "really welcome".

The French President Emmanuel Macron has issued a stark warning over the future of Nato, saying European countries can no longer rely on the US to defend its allies.
