Colombia: The FCDO updated its Colombia travel advice on 3 September, refreshing earthquake-response information and removing the closure notice for Matecana International Airport in Pereira. Standing advice against all but essential travel to border and conflict-affected departments remains in place.

Martyn's Law: The SIA is due to publish its final Section 12 statutory guidance in autumn 2026. The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act is expected to come into force in spring 2027, covering standard-tier premises of 200 to 799 people and enhanced-tier premises of 800 or more.

United Kingdom threat level: The threat to the UK from terrorism remains SEVERE, meaning an attack is highly likely. The threat to Northern Ireland from Northern Ireland-related terrorism is SUBSTANTIAL.
