A brave four-year-old girl who rang 999 when her mum became unresponsive at home has won an award.Esmai, from Clare, Suffolk, rang the emergency services in December when mum, Lauren Everitt, would not respond to her.

The little girl has autism and speech delay meaning she had only learned to speak fully a year ago, but was able to get an ambulance to her mum who recovered.East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust presented Esmai with a bravery award, which Ms Everitt said was "phenomenal".In the 999 call, Esmai can be heard answering questions from call handler Hollie Kett in the Norwich Emergency Operations Centre.

She told the call handler that "mummy isn't feeling very well", and while she was breathing, she was not awake.Ms Everitt did regain consciousness and was able to provide contact details for other family members who could come to their house to look after Esmai while paramedics were dispatched.

She was eventually taken by ambulance to West Suffolk Hospital.

"The whole family is incredibly proud of how Esmai reacted when I wouldn't respond, and she was able to get help for me by calling 999," Ms Everitt said.But the timing of this breakthrough reflects a growing sense of urgency in international affairs, not least regarding Ukraine, with the UK keen to remove the Chagos issue as an obstacle to winning more global support, particularly from African nations, with the prospect of a second Trump presidency looming.

A backlash from some voices in the UK can be expected, even though successive Conservative and Labour prime ministers have been working towards the same broad goal.Tory leadership candidate Tom Tugendhat argued the deal had been "negotiated against Britain's interest" and it was "disgraceful" that such talks had begun under the previous Conservative government.

He called it a "shameful retreat" that leaves "allies exposed", while the former foreign secretary James Cleverly called it a "weak" deal.Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the deal will "address the wrongs against the Chagossians of the past but it looks like it will continue the crimes long into the future”.
