Thousands of Afghans brought to safety in the UK have had their personal data exposed, after a Ministry of Defence (MoD) sub-contractor suffered a data breach.
The names, passport information and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (Arap) details of up to 3,700 Afghans have potentially been compromised after Inflite The Jet Centre, which provides ground-handling services for flights at London Stansted airport, suffered a cyber-security incident.
It comes just a month after it was a revealed another major data breach in 2022 revealed the details of almost 19,000 people who had asked to come to the UK in order to flee the Taliban.
The government said the incident "has not posed any threat to individuals' safety, nor compromised any government systems".
There is currently no evidence to suggest that any data has been released publicly.
The Afghans affected are believed to have travelled to the UK between January and March 2024, under a resettlement scheme for those who worked with British troops.
An email sent out by the Afghan resettlement team on Friday afternoon warned their families that personal information may have been exposed.
"This may include passport details (including name, date of birth, and passport number) and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (Arap) reference numbers," it said.
Those affected also include British military personnel and former Conservative government ministers, the BBC understands.
A government spokesperson said: "We were recently notified that a third party sub-contractor to a supplier experienced a cyber security incident involving unauthorised access to a small number of its emails that contained basic personal information.
"We take data security extremely seriously and are going above and beyond our legal duties in informing all potentially affected individuals."
Inflite The Jet Centre said in a statement it believes "the scope of the incident was limited to email accounts only" and has reported it to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
The BBC has contacted the ICO for comment.
The incident follows a February 2022 incident in which the personal data of nearly 19,000 Afghans who had applied to move to the UK under the Arap scheme was mistakenly leaked by a British official, leading to thousands of Afghans being secretly relocated to the UK.
The leaked spreadsheet contained the names, contact details and some family information of the people potentially at risk of harm from the Taliban.
That incident was made public for the first time in July.
Afzal Khan, the UK's trade envoy to Turkey, has resigned after visiting northern Cyprus
Labour MP Afzal Khan has resigned as the UK's trade envoy to Turkey following criticism of his visit last week to the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The territory isn't recognised by the UK government as Turkish troops have occupied Cyprus' northern third since the 1974 invasion.
Mr Khan, the MP for Manchester Rusholme, also met with Turkish-Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar - a move which the Cypriot government described as "absolutely condemnable and unacceptable".
Mr Khan told the BBC he paid for the trip himself and was visiting his nephew, alongside receiving an honorary degree from an academic institution.
In a letter to the prime minister today, Mr Khan said he felt it was "best to stand down at this time so not to distract from the hard work the government is doing to secure the best possible trade deals for this country".
But he insisted his visit had been "in a personal capacity during the parliamentary recess" and was "unrelated" to his role as a trade envoy.
He also suggested that 20 British parliamentarians had visited northern Cyprus without attracting similar criticism.
The shadow foreign minister Wendy Morton welcomed the resignation, but said Sir Keir Starmer should have sacked Mr Khan sooner.
Dame Priti Patel, the shadow foreign secretary, also called for the MP's resignation earlier this week.
Christos Karaolis, President of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK, said that Mr Khan's position "was clearly untenable following his deeply inappropriate and unacceptable visit to occupied northern Cyprus".
A Government spokesperson confirmed Mr Khan has left his position as Trade Envoy to the Republic of Türkiye.
Yavar Abbas (left) shakes hands with Quen Camilla at the VJ Day 80th anniversary service
When Capt Yavar Abbas stood on stage in front of King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Friday, he wasn't expecting to make headlines.
He was at the official commemoration for the 80th anniversary of VJ - Victory over Japan - Day in Staffordshire as one of the last remaining veterans. Yavar was about to give a short address about his experience on the Asian front. But he decided to go off script.
He told the audience he wished "to salute my brave King who is here with his beloved Queen in spite of the fact that he's under treatment for cancer".
The King and Queen became visibly emotional. Yavar went on to tell the crowd he had been free of cancer too for the past 25 years, receiving a round of applause.
Yavar is 104, and his journey to this moment, which he told to me when I met him earlier this year, is extraordinary.

He was born in Charkhari, a state in British India, in what he describes as a "one-horse town". Officially his birth date is registered in 1921, but Yavar says he was born on 15 December 1920. He was a student when Britain declared war on Nazi Germany on behalf of India in 1939.
From early December 1941, there was a new enemy and a new front. Japan had attacked the US naval base at Pearl Harbor. Hours later, Japanese forces targeted British colonies in South East Asia. And in just a few months, Japan had taken territory that had been part of the British Empire for more than a century, including Malaya (now Malaysia), Singapore and Burma (now Myanmar).
By mid-1942 Yavar had to make an important decision - fight for the British or for Indian independence. He could not believe how quickly parts of the British Empire had fallen to Japan. There was a palpable fear that India could be next.
"I was not a supporter of British imperialism, in fact I detested it," Yavar tells me. At the time, there was a growing pro-independence movement calling for the British to "Quit India," which was brutally suppressed.
Yavar was aware fighting for the British would mean fighting a war in the name of freedom - while Indians were not free from colonial rule. But, like many Indian nationalists, he did not want Nazism and fascism to prevail.
"I had to choose and hope that if I joined the [British Indian] army, after the war, as they had been promising, I would get independence."

Yavar as a young man
So Yavar enlisted - and became one of around 2.5 million Indian soldiers to sign up. Initially he joined the 11th Sikh regiment and was posted to a "God-forsaken place" in a remote part of East Bengal, where he spent his days guarding a strategic site - and felt disappointed at the lack of action.
Attitudes among the British officers frustrated him too.
"I found myself in a version of Dad's Army, in the company of white, middle-aged men as my fellow officers, who still considered India to be a crown colony on which they'll have continuing control for the foreseeable future."
One day in the mess, Yavar spotted an advert in The Army Gazette for officers to be trained as combat cameramen. He applied and was soon accepted.
In this role he joined the newly formed British 14th Army, whose aim was to win back territory lost to Japan. The troops of this army were well-trained for jungle warfare, and had better equipment. A multi-national force, in time it would number up to a million soldiers - mostly Indian, but also from other parts of the British Empire - including West and East Africa.
This army felt completely different to Yavar: "It was wonderful camaraderie. There were British and Indians mixing with each other."
Yavar would go on to film on the front lines at many major Allied-Japanese battles of the Burma campaign from 1944. He would travel in his jeep with an assistant, armed with a pistol and a Vinten film camera, a tripod, and many rolls of film. He sent his rushes to Calcutta (now Kolkata), along with dope sheets explaining what the shots were. There they were edited, and the film distributed for propaganda or newsreels.
Yavar was at the siege of Imphal and the battle of Kohima when Japan invaded the strategic north-eastern Indian towns. Japan's aim was to cut off the Allied supply line to China. Repelling Japanese forces at Imphal and Kohima was hugely significant, because success in taking these towns could allow Japan to progress deeper into India and expand its empire.
These battles have been described by some historians as among the most significant of World War Two. British, Gurkha, Indian and African troops decisively halted the offensive into India. Tens of thousands of Japanese forces died. Many killed themselves rather than being taken prisoner in defeat.

Yavar cannot forget the aftermath of the battles. "It was a horrible sight, Japanese with swords sticking out of their bodies, instead of falling into enemy hands." The British advance to re-take Burma began afterwards.
Yavar was around 30 miles (50km) from Mandalay when he had a brush with death. He tells me how the Japanese put up stiff resistance, and the Allies couldn't advance, so they took cover in shallow trenches. He was in one with a Gurkha unit, but continued to film. He thinks a sniper saw his camera and shot towards him. The Gurkha beside him was hit in the temple and died. Yavar's camera shattered.
"I'm lucky to be alive," he says.
The Battle of Mandalay was a crucial one for the Allies. If they managed to take it, the road to the capital Rangoon (now Yangon), would be open to them. Yavar was in a tank, and decided he needed a better shot of the action. "I just climbed up on top of the trunk and started filming."
The turret opened and he was told by another officer to get down for his own safety. "It was a stupid thing to do, but that's the kind of thing you do when you're young."

The gun battle was intense and the aim was to capture the Japanese stronghold of Fort Dufferin. Yavar filmed the enemy positions being bombed relentlessly from the air.
"They kept on pounding them, pounding them, pounding them," he recalls.
I went to the Imperial War Museum in London and found the footage that Yavar filmed that day. Even without sound, the raw, unedited, black and white images are as dramatic as Yavar described. I returned to his home to show him the footage which he had never seen.
'We didn't achieve anything really': Yavar Abbas looks back at his own film
As he watched it, the events from 80 years all come back and he points at the screen as he remembers.
"That's my shot," he tells me as the British flag is raised in victory over the strategic Fort Dufferin.
He shakes his head watching the images. "It's bizarre to be sitting here and watching all that, and to think that I was in the middle of that."
He says he cannot believe now that 80 years ago he was happy to shoot Japanese forces with his camera, as well as his gun.
"I'm not very proud of that," Yavar says, "but that's how you feel when you are on the front."
Yavar has something to show me, that he had found that morning. He takes out a faded notepad with loose leaves of paper that have yellowed with age. It's his diary from the front line. He had carried an ink pot with him in battle and written in the diary with his fountain pen. He reads out an entry from the day that Fort Dufferin fell on 20 March 1945.
"Thank goodness it is all over and that I'm still alive. I can still hear the noise of shelling not far away. Maybe it is the Japanese guns firing at the Fort. I'll find out tomorrow. Two o'clock in the morning now, and I must go to sleep."

Yavar shows the entry from his diary on 20 March 1945, the day Fort Dufferin fell
Yavar wonders aloud how in the midst of battle he found time to sit and write this when he had to be up again at five in the morning.
I ask him if he thinks he is brave. He looks at me as if that is a strange question. "Absolutely not," he says.
On VE Day, 8 May 1945 - when the war ended in Europe - Yavar was in Rangoon filming the recently re-taken capital. However, it was so inconsequential he didn't note it in his diary. Little had changed for him.
The war against Japan was still ongoing. But then, completely unexpectedly months later, America dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan unconditionally surrendered on 15 August 1945, the day that VJ Day is marked each year.
After the war, Yavar was posted with the 268 Indian Brigade as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces under the overall command of US Gen Douglas McArthur. He went to Hiroshima months after the bombing.
Yavar says he saw the wasteland and people with horrific injuries.
"There were no buildings, it was just one tower that was left. Otherwise the whole thing was flat."
It's the first time since we have spoken that Yavar's bearing changes - he has a look of horror as he remembers.
"It still haunts me," he says. "I couldn't believe that human beings could do this to each other. Hiroshima was a terrible experience."
The British did leave India, as Yavar had hoped. In August 1947, India was partitioned and two new states were born: Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan.
Yavar was a witness to the bloody aftermath, and was heartbroken at the decision to divide India. Two years later, he came to Britain.
He worked for many years at the BBC as a news cameraman travelling the world. He would go on to be an acclaimed independent film-maker, winning numerous awards.

VJ Day - on 15 August - is not a day Yavar ever celebrates. Current events weigh heavily on him. Yavar's message, as one of the last remaining survivors of World War Two, is clear.
"War is a crime. War must be banned. I think it's mad. We didn't achieve anything really."
He says at the time he felt he was part of something worthwhile, for the sake of humanity - he doesn't feel that now.
The wars engulfing the world 80 years on - particularly Gaza - are on his mind.
"We seem to have learnt nothing, " Yavar tells me. "The killing of innocent men, women, children, and even babies goes on. And the world, with some honourable exceptions, watches in silence...
"It was all futile, because it's still happening. We haven't learned anything at all."
The actor-turned-governor helped overhaul how California draws political maps. In an interview with The New York Times, he said he would fight to preserve that legacy.
Danish police direct people involved near the the derailment
At least one person has died and several others injured after a train collided with a slurry tanker and derailed in southern Denmark, officials said.
Police said the crash happened between the towns of Tinglev and Kliplev in southern Jutland, and that officers were at the site.
Local outlet TV2 reported helicopters had been sent to the scene and quoted local rail officials as saying the train had "hit a slurry tanker" at a level crossing.
The country's rail operator DSB said that it had shut down services between Tinglev and Sønderborg near the German border.
Pictures from the scene showed a carriage lying on its side, with passengers stood around the train tracks.
Police said 95 passengers were on board, including pupils from a school in Sønderborg. Two of the injured were carried away by helicopter.
The national rail agency Banedanmark wrote on X that the collision happened at a railway crossing. According to local media, at least two of the train carriages were derailed.
The US and Russia have agreed to hold a meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August, to discuss how to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump announced the meeting a week beforehand - the same day as his deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine or face more US sanctions.
Three rounds of talks between Russia and Ukraine held at Trump's behest this summer have yet to bring the two sides any closer to peace.
Here is what we know about the meeting between the two leaders, taking place in Alaska - which was once Russian territory - in Anchorage.
Why are they meeting in Alaska?
The US purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867, lending a historical resonance to the meeting. It became a US state in 1959.
Russian presidential assistant Yuri Ushakov pointed out that the two countries are neighbours, with only the Bering Strait separating them.
"It seems quite logical for our delegation simply to fly over the Bering Strait and for such an important and anticipated summit of the leaders of the two countries to be held in Alaska," Ushakov said.
The last time Alaska took centre-stage in an American diplomatic event was in March 2021, when Joe Biden's newly minted diplomatic and national security team met their Chinese counterparts in Anchorage.
The sit-down turned acrimonious, with the Chinese accusing the Americans of "condescension and hypocrisy".
Where in Alaska will Trump and Putin meet?
The meeting will be in Anchorage, the White House confirmed on Tuesday.
When announcing the bilateral, Trump said the location would be "a very popular one for a number of reasons", without disclosing it would be in the state's largest city.
The pair will be hosted at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the largest military installation in Alaska. The 64,000 acre base is a key US site for Arctic military readiness.
Why are Putin and Trump meeting?
Trump has been pushing hard - without much success - to end the war in Ukraine.
As a presidential candidate, he pledged that he could end the war within 24 hours of taking office. He has also repeatedly argued that the war "never would have happened" if he had been president at the time of Russia's invasion in 2022.
Frustrations grew and Trump set an 8 August deadline for Putin to agree to an immediate ceasefire or face more severe US sanctions.
As the deadline hit, Trump instead announced he and Putin would meet in person on 15 August.
The meeting comes after US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff held "highly productive" talks with Putin in Moscow on Wednesday, according to Trump.
Ahead of the meeting, the White House sought to play down speculation that the bilateral could yield a ceasefire.
"This is a listening exercise for the president," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. She added that Trump may travel to Russia following the Alaska trip.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump said he viewed the summit as a "feel-out meeting" aimed at urging Putin to end the war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not expected to attend. Trump said on Monday: "I would say he could go, but he's been to a lot of meetings."
Trump did, however, say that Zelensky would be the first person he would call afterwards.
A White House official later said that Trump and Zelensky would meet virtually on Wednesday, ahead of the US president's summit with Putin. The Zelensky meeting will be joined by several European leaders.
Putin had requested that Zelensky be excluded, although the White House has previously said that Trump was willing to hold a trilateral in which all three leaders were present.
Zelensky has said any agreements without input from Ukraine would amount to "dead decisions".
What do both sides hope to get out of it?
While both Russia and Ukraine have long said that they want the war to end, both countries want things that the other harshly opposes.
Trump said on Monday he was "going to try to get some of that [Russian-occupied] territory back for Ukraine". But he also warned that there might have to be "some swapping, changes in land".
Ukraine, however, has been adamant that it will not accept Russian control of regions that Moscow has seized, including Crimea.
Zelensky pushed back this week against any idea of "swapping" territories.
"We will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated," the Ukrainian president said.
Watch: 'We're going to change the battle lines' Trump on the war in Ukraine
Meanwhile, Putin has not budged from his territorial demands, Ukraine's neutrality and the future size of its army.
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in part, over Putin's belief the Western defensive alliance, Nato, was using the neighbouring country to gain a foothold to bring its troops closer to Russia's borders.
The Trump administration has been attempting to sway European leaders on a ceasefire deal that would hand over swathes of Ukrainian territory to Russia, the BBC's US partner CBS News has reported.
The agreement would allow Russia to keep control of the Crimean peninsula, and take the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, which is made up of Donetsk and Luhansk, according to sources familiar with the talks.
Russia illegally occupied Crimea in 2014 and its forces control the majority of the Donbas region.
Under the deal, Russia would have to give up the Ukrainian regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, where it currently has some military control.
Speaking to Fox News, US Vice-President JD Vance said any future deal was "not going to make anybody super happy".
"You've got to make peace here… you can't finger point," he said.
"The way to peace is to have a decisive leader to sit down and force people to come together."
Thousands of Afghans brought to safety in the UK have had their personal data exposed, after a Ministry of Defence (MoD) sub-contractor suffered a data breach.
The names, passport information and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (Arap) details of up to 3,700 Afghans have potentially been compromised after Inflite The Jet Centre, which provides ground-handling services for flights at London Stansted airport, suffered a cyber-security incident.
It comes just a month after it was a revealed another major data breach in 2022 revealed the details of almost 19,000 people who had asked to come to the UK in order to flee the Taliban.
The government said the incident "has not posed any threat to individuals' safety, nor compromised any government systems".
There is currently no evidence to suggest that any data has been released publicly.
The Afghans affected are believed to have travelled to the UK between January and March 2024, under a resettlement scheme for those who worked with British troops.
An email sent out by the Afghan resettlement team on Friday afternoon warned their families that personal information may have been exposed.
"This may include passport details (including name, date of birth, and passport number) and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (Arap) reference numbers," it said.
Those affected also include British military personnel and former Conservative government ministers, the BBC understands.
A government spokesperson said: "We were recently notified that a third party sub-contractor to a supplier experienced a cyber security incident involving unauthorised access to a small number of its emails that contained basic personal information.
"We take data security extremely seriously and are going above and beyond our legal duties in informing all potentially affected individuals."
Inflite The Jet Centre said in a statement it believes "the scope of the incident was limited to email accounts only" and has reported it to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
The BBC has contacted the ICO for comment.
The incident follows a February 2022 incident in which the personal data of nearly 19,000 Afghans who had applied to move to the UK under the Arap scheme was mistakenly leaked by a British official, leading to thousands of Afghans being secretly relocated to the UK.
The leaked spreadsheet contained the names, contact details and some family information of the people potentially at risk of harm from the Taliban.
That incident was made public for the first time in July.
Antoine Semenyo started Bournemouth's opening Premier League fixture away at Liverpool
Published
The Premier League opener between Liverpool and Bournemouth was stopped in the first half after Cherries forward Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused by someone in the crowd.
The 25-year-old Semenyo went on to score twice in 12 second-half minutes as the Cherries briefly levelled at Anfield, before the reigning champions struck late to win 4-2.
Referee Anthony Taylor stopped play at a 29th-minute Liverpool corner before talking to both managers on the touchline.
Liverpool and Bournemouth captains Virgil van Dijk and Adam Smith were then called over to the benches to be briefed before the match resumed four minutes later, while the score was 0-0.
Bournemouth skipper Smith said he was "shocked" by the incident and "something needs to be done".
"Totally unacceptable," he told Sky Sports. "Kind of in shock it happened in this day and age. I don't know how Ant has carried on playing and come up with these goals.
"He's a little bit down - something needs to be done. Taking a knee has taken no effect. We've supported him and hopefully he'll be OK.
"I wanted him to react [after scoring] - that's what I'd have done. I'd have gone straight over there. It shows what kind of man he is to report it to the ref and carry on. Fair play to Ant."
When asked to describe his feelings, Smith said "it's more anger" and he had called for immediate action against the culprit.
"I said to the ref I wanted him removed immediately but the police went and sorted it," added the defender. "The Liverpool players were very supportive to Ant and the rest of the team. Just so angry.
"We've had discussions with the Premier League about it so they have been taking it seriously. I don't know what else we can do.
"We've been doing it for a long time now and no-one is getting it. I just feel sorry for Ant and he's had to take that. The whole country is watching and it's shocking."
An anti-discrimination message was read out to the crowd inside Anfield once the half-time whistle had blown.
In a statement issued at full-time, the Football Association said: "We are very concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd, which was reported to the match officials during the Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Bournemouth.
"Incidents of this nature have no place in our game, and we will work closely with the match officials, the clubs and the relevant authorities to establish the facts and ensure the appropriate action is taken."
Premier League Match Centre, external during the match: "Tonight's match between Liverpool Football Club and AFC Bournemouth was temporarily paused during the first half after a report of discriminatory abuse from the crowd, directed at Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.
"This is in line with the Premier League's on-field anti-discrimination protocol. The incident at Anfield will now be fully investigated. We offer our full support to the player and both clubs.
"Racism has no place in our game, or anywhere in society. We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for all."
Kick It Out said they "stand in solidarity" with Semenyo and added: "Thirty minutes into the first Premier League game of the season, and Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo is racially abused by someone in the crowd.
"Two nights ago, Tottenham's Mathys Tel was racially abused online. This is a stark reminder of an ugly reality: black players are facing this every week.
"We stand in solidarity with Antoine and can't praise him enough for his courage in calling this out after such a distressing episode before going on to score twice.
"Anthony Taylor and his refereeing team also deserve credit for acting swiftly and decisively. We will keep pushing to kick this disgusting behaviour out of the game through punishments, accountability and education, but football still has a long way to go."
The incident came after Tottenham forward Mathys Tel was the subject of racist abuse on social media after being one of two Spurs players to miss in their Super Cup penalty shootout defeat by Paris St-Germain on Wednesday.
England defender Jess Carter was also the target of racist abuse during Euro 2025 last month.
England internationals Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were subjected to racism too in the aftermath of the Euro 2020 final, held in July 2021, after all three missed penalties in the shootout loss to Italy.
Flash flooding killed several in the village of Salarzai Tehsil, in Bajaur
At least 164 people have died in the last 24 hours in heavy monsoon floods and landslides in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Most of the deaths, 150, were recorded by disaster authorities in the mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in northern Pakistan. At least 30 homes were destroyed and a rescue helicopter has also crashed during operations, killing its five crew.
Nine more people were killed in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, while five died in the northern Gilgit-Baltistan region, it said.
Government forecasters said heavy rainfall was expected until 21 August and there is a heavy rain alert for the northwest of the country. Several regions have been declared disaster zones.
The chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gadapur, said that the M-17 helicopter crashed due to bad weather while flying to Bajaur, a region bordering Afghanistan .
In Bajaur, a crowd amassed around an excavator trawling a mud-soaked hill, AFP photos showed. Funeral prayers began in a paddock nearby, with people grieving in front of several bodies covered by blankets.
In the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, rescuers pulled bodies from mud and rubble on Friday after a flood crashed through a Himalayan village, killing at least 60 people and washing away dozens more.
Monsoon rains between June and September deliver about three-quarters of South Asia's annual rainfall. Landslides and flooding are common and than 300 people have died in this year's season.
In July, Punjab, home to nearly half of Pakistan's 255 million people, recorded 73% more rainfall than the previous year and more deaths than in the entire previous monsoon.
Scientists say that climate change has made weather events more extreme and more frequent.

Watch: Moment Trump and Putin meet in Alaska for summit
This is the moment US President Trump and Russia's President Putin simultaneously disembarked their planes in Alaska to meet for talks about the Ukraine war.
They shook hands on a red carpet and had what appeared to be a friendly but animated conversation before walking together to a nearby car.
Ukraine's President Zelensky, who is not invited to the summit, says his country is "counting on America" and there's "no indication" Russia is preparing to end the war.
