Four Glasgow Tesco stores will offer free breakfasts this weekend as part of a special celebration.

Members of the Armed Forces will be able to get a free hot breakfast at Tesco cafes on Sunday, June 30 to mark Armed Forces Day.

All serving Armed Forces personnel, regulars and reservists can present their MOD90 identification card at Tesco cafés in the Glasgow Maryhill, Glasgow Shettleston, Glasgow Silverburn and Glasgow St Rollox.

In exchange, they will be served a choice of The Breakfast, The Veggie Breakfast, The Vegan Breakfast, Sausage Bap, Veggie Bap or the Bacon Bap for free.

It’s the third year of offering the free breakfast, and this year it has been extended to veterans with a valid Veteran’s ID card. The promotion is limited to one free breakfast per cardholder.

Ashwin Prasad, group chief product officer at Tesco and exec sponsor of the Armed Forces Network, said: “As the largest private employer of Armed Forces veterans in the UK we feel a close affinity with Armed Forces personnel. Everyone loves a free breakfast and it’s a nice way of thanking them for their service.”

Rhys Little, Chair of the Armed Forces Network at Tesco, said: “We take great pride in our connection with the Armed Forces.

"We’ve received the Gold Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme twice now – in 2016 and 2020 – and we were also the first retailer to sign the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014.”

Putin says Russia may resume global deployment of intermediate range missiles
MOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Russia should resume production of intermediate and shorter range nuclear-capable missiles and then consider where to deploy them after the United States brought similar missiles to Europe and Asia. Putin's move finally kills off all that remains from one of the most significant arms controls treaties of the Cold War amid fears that the world's two biggest nuclear powers could be entering a new arms race together with China. The Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed by Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan in 1987, marked the first time the superpowers had agreed to reduce their nuclear arsenals and eliminated a whole category of nuclear weapons.
