A test of the UK's nuclear deterrent failed for the second time in a row. Britain's Ministry of Defence said "an anomaly" occurred during the firing of a Trident missile. It's the latest in a series of embarrassing failings by the UK's Royal Navy. The test firing of a British nuclear missile from a Royal Navy submarine failed for the second time in a row in yet another humiliation for the Royal Navy. Adding to the embarrassment, UK Defense Secretary Grant Schapps was on board the launch submarine, HMS Vanguard, at the time of the botched test in January, the report said.

BRUSSELS, April 24 (Reuters) - The Netherlands and Britain plan to build what would be Europe's biggest cross-border electricity link connected to an offshore wind farm, their energy ministers said on Monday, part of efforts to boost energy security. "This new connection further boosts energy security and energy independence in Europe," Dutch Energy Minister Rob Jetten said in a statement. Britain and the Netherlands currently have one power interconnector, the 1GW BritNed link. The countries' leaders will commit to rapidly building wind farms and developing energy "islands", or connected offshore green power generation sites, according to a draft of their summit declaration seen by Reuters. The countries, which also include Germany, France and Norway, aim to develop a combined 120 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, the draft said.
