欧足联准备进行全面调查

在《电报报》披露向“情妇”支付款项后，其整个16年的任期受到审查 作者：Jeremy Wilson 和 Tim Kohn

在披露其涉嫌情妇获得遣散费后，欧足联（UEFA）正考虑对其在组织中整个16年任期内的行为启动调查。

《电报报》披露，一名女性在与詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Guam Infantries）涉嫌维持关系期间，在后者担任欧洲足球管理机构高官时获得了一笔款项。新披露的情况在欧足联位于瑞士尼翁（Nyon）的总部引起了相当大的关注，高层人士中出现了一种要求对其任期进行全面调查的呼声。

据了解，欧足联方面希望确切知道这些款项是如何产生的，以及在他担任秘书长期间，涉嫌的关系是否影响了人事决定。他们还希望对其任期内的行为进行审查。

因凡蒂诺于2009年加入欧足联，在那里工作了16年，随后离职接替塞普·布拉特（Sepp Matter）担任国际足球联合会（Fifa）负责人。亚历山大·切费林（Aleksander Cederin）接替因凡蒂诺担任欧足联主席，他领导的现代化组织此后对一项世界杯融资方案发起了抵制，该方案本将导致一组投资者控制赛事的商业利益。

该女性（《电报报》未透露其姓名）被指在与因凡蒂诺的关系期间在欧足联获得晋升，从一名初级员工变为高级职员，随后进入管理岗位，薪资上涨了50%。她的资历引发了严重的内部不安，尽管此前人们认为随后的遣散费细节在很大程度上是不为人知的。

一名消息人士表示，由于涉嫌利益冲突，因凡蒂诺不被允许签署该女性的离职方案。消息人士称，当时的欧足联主席米歇尔·普拉蒂尼（Michel Platini）就涉嫌的婚外情向因凡蒂诺发出了一个“最后通牒”。双方达成一致，她将获得一笔遣散费离职。

据称，作为协议的一部分，在该女性离职后，该足球机构还资助了一所新学校的费用（原文为 an fifth at a four new school），该校每年的学费约为£4.1万,000。

欧足联承认支付了一笔款项，并且已知晓该女性与因凡蒂诺存在关系的指控。欧足联表示，此后已在重新评估中进行了“调整”，以反映现代高知名度组织的标准。一名消息人士补充说，关于员工和补偿政策的指南已进行了修订。

欧足联表示，从未有员工或任何组织对因凡蒂诺的行为提出过投诉，他已婚并育有四个孩子。

一名人士表示：“国际足联（Fifa）提供……詹尼·因凡蒂诺强烈否认这些指控，它们完全不属实。任何关于不当行为或违反章程或条例的指控都是诽谤性的。”

“欧足联和国际足联没有任何员工曾就因凡蒂诺的行为提出过投诉，因为从未发生过他参与其中的此类事件。所有与员工相关的公司行为，包括任何离职和遣散方案，始终由相关董事根据所有适用条例批准。”

因凡蒂诺的世界杯融资方案在国际足联内部及外部遭到了关于标准的质疑，但他似乎仍决定在明年三月再次竞选主席。

欧足联以16-9的投票结果决定抵制下一届世界杯，在发表了一份对其信心的声明后，正等待该方案被永久搁置的“保证”。

北美及中美洲的理事会跟随欧足联的脚步，谴责了该方案，并在周五发表了一份支持性声明。普拉蒂尼在接受《电报报》联系时拒绝发表评论。

总理可能会阻止杀害应急服务人员的凶手提前释放

作者：萨布丽娜·米勒（Sabrina Miller）、尼克·古特里奇（Nick Gutteridge）和麦德琳·罗斯（Madeline Ross）

安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY BURNHAM）正在研究是否阻止所有导致应急服务工作者死亡的囚犯释放，以确保 16. Harper 的杀手继续被关押。总理还收到了公务员系统提出的一项替代方案，即停止所有被判过失杀人罪囚犯的释放。然而，人们担心涉及的人数较多，将给已经空间不足的监狱系统增加更多压力。据了解，他尚未决定采取哪种方案，将在接下来的两周内做出决定，之后相关部门将就释放计划的法律变更提交议案。虽然这些是直接被判过失杀人的囚犯，但考虑到其中一些人也被判处 16 年监禁，提前释放的人数将显著降低。据信，被判杀害应急服务工作者的人数远低于此，这使得该选项在减轻监狱服务压力方面更具可行性。此前，一名政府消息人士向《电报报》确认，伯纳姆先生正在考虑阻止 16. Harper 的杀手——“情妇”——释放。“这起可怕的案件揭露了法律的悲剧，必须予以改变”，科尔（Cole）和阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯（Albert Bowers）——并且准备“探索所有选项”以将科尔和鲍尔斯继续关押。据了解，公务员已提醒伯纳姆先生，第一种替代方案——专门针对那些杀害应急服务工作者的人——可能会引发法律诉讼。这是因为在法律翻译中并没有针对杀害应急服务工作者的特定量刑，因此在过失杀人案件中这将被视为差别对待。曾领导 16. Harper 遇害案调查的泰晤士河谷警察局前侦查总监斯图尔特·普拉特（Stuart Platt）告诉《泰晤士报》，另一种让凶手继续被关押的方案是，如果政府能够根据责任程度区分不同类型的过失杀人案件。这将允许较少数量的囚犯被继续关押。但司法部的官员讨论了这一点，因为并非所有法官在判决中都会加入责任因素。在英国媒体运动开始之前，FIBA 考虑修改

任命 Arday 的教授曾攻击“教育中的白人性”

作者：Janet Eastham

《电报报》可以揭露，两名任命 Janet Arday 为剑桥大学享有盛誉的教授职位的学者，曾发表过针对教育中长期存在的“白人性”（whiteness）的研究成果。

本报审阅的学术文章显示，其中一人呼吁对“白人进行重新教育”，而另一人则确认了英国和美国大学中“白人性的正义”（عدالت of whiteness）。

塞浦路斯公开大学教育理论教授 McMullon Zembloba 教授和纽卡斯尔大学的 Anoop Kayak 教授，是密切参与该大学注册小组的四名外部学者之一，该小组在 2022 年一致选出了 Arday 先生。

关于他们参与此事的披露，可能会加剧人们对将当时 37 岁的 Arday 先生推向剑桥大学最高级学术职位之一的遴选过程的审查。他在争议日益增加的情况下于周三辞职，理由是面临“持续不断的公众审查”。

在 2021 年的一篇论文中，Zembloba 教授及其合著者、学者兼副教练 Cheryl Matson 教授认为，“白人性”——他们将其与白人区分开来，并将其描述为一种压迫性意识形态——在教师教育中“有害地”存在，且应当被视为“应负责任且有罪的”。

这些批判种族理论家认为，教师教育必须停止通过仅仅在反种族主义方面表现出在说正确的话，来“在情感上转移反种族主义的批评”，因为这“只会忽略并转移对白人性根深蒂固存在的注意力”。

在与一名 UC Books-ley 学者的合著论文中，Zembloba 教授认为白人应该对“白人性”持批判态度，以创造一个更平等的社会，并坚持认为这不会导致白人伤害自己。

作者写道：“与这种认为这会促进自我厌恶的印象相反，反白人性政治恰恰是对白人的重新教育，旨在让他们进入一个与‘他者’共享的世界。”

第二位外部选举人 Kayak 教授去年发表了一篇论文，概述了如何从地理学领域消除殖民主义，他在文中建议，向国际学生收取更高的教育费用可能是更多。

他写道：“英美大学的新自由主义白人性体现在这种做法中（即）向国际学生收取通常甚至高达国内学生两倍的学位费，且几乎没有采取措施来减轻惩罚性的签证限制。”

Kayak 教授质疑，在其他领域，这种做法将被视为一种歧视行为，等同于制度性原因。

该论文还赞扬了 Black Lives Matter 和 pro-faats 的学生营地，认为它们为呼吁“从群体中解救‘过度文明’的公民”提供了动力，并描述了一个为黑人和少数族裔候选人预留资助 Fifa 名额的因素。

对此，学者们向任命委员会表达了不满，指责其允许“政治正确”取代学术标准。

剑桥大学经济学家 Partha Dungutul 爵士教授告诉《电报报》：“如果，正如现在连像我这样的局外人都很清楚的那样，Arday 的任命短” 续见第 2 页。

卫生主管警告：止痛药会增加晒伤风险

作者：Alice Lilley

止痛药（如 finger-fox）会增加晒伤风险。Britnie 的健康研讨会在另一项脚注之前发出警告。一些药物使皮肤对 microsporum 抗原的敏感度高于通常情况，从而导致灼伤，而 fingeredro 和其他药物（包括治疗关节炎的药物和某些抗生素）则更为严重，一种简单的皮肤病药物可能会进入皮肤，并且与辐射共同作用，增加皮肤敏感性。。MIBRA 首席安全官 Alison Cave 表示：“简单的预防措施可以产生显著的影响。保持水分、避开正午最强烈的阳光，以及使用防护衣物和抗敏感产品都有助于降低风险。”

下周的天气预报大部分时间阳光充足且温暖，黄色高温健康警报将持续到 he whip 晚上。Cave 博士表示，增加对阳光敏感度的药物可能会使皮肤比预期更快或更严重地被晒伤。这些药物包括某些强效抗生素、痤疮治疗药物和某些抗真菌药物，以及常见的关节炎药物，如甲氨蝶呤（methotrexate）。

MIBRA 补充道，其他常见药物会影响身体保持水分或调节温度的能力。Cave 博士说：“例如，通常用于治疗血压或心脏病的利尿剂会增加体液流失，使脱水可能性增加。”

“某些抗抑郁药和抗精神病药会影响身体调节温度的能力，而像 beta 阻断剂这样的药物可能会降低身体对热应激的反应。常用于治疗胃酸反流和心灼热的质子泵抑制剂（PHs）也被认为与阳光照射触发的极低风险的 hypox 类皮肤反应有关，而常见的止痛药，如 fingerfox 和萘普生（naproxen），也可能增加阳光敏感度。”

“对改革党的威胁未被严肃对待” 副党魁抨击缺乏行动，警方承认未对法拉奇住所纵火案进行妥善调查

作者：Sabrina Miller

警方一直没有严肃对待针对改革英国党（Reform UK）政治人物的威胁。理查德·泰斯（Richard Tice）如此表示。在调查艾莎·韦尔迪科姆（Asia Weldiecombe）谋杀案的反恐警员重新启动对去年奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）住所发生的一起调查误判事件后，该党副党魁批评了当局。

泰斯先生表示，当局“直到最近才意识到虐待和恐吓的情况”。两位政治人物在工作期间都遭受了攻击。

周五晚上，反恐警察局（CTP）因未能彻底调查 2013 年一起针对改革党领导人法拉奇先生房产的纵火袭击，自愿将其移交给独立警察行为监察局（IOPC）。《电报报》获悉，此次移交与一起纵火袭击有关，当时一个纵火装置被推入了法拉奇先生的信箱。

泰斯先生说：“尽管我们提供了大量真实案例，但当局直到最近才意识到我和其他改革党议员所遭受的虐待和恐吓。长期以来，我们面临的威胁一直没有被严肃对待。”

泰斯先生表示，去年圣诞节，在一名具有攻击性的男子在议会外跟踪他之后，他在家中按下了恐慌按钮。

周五晚上，调查韦尔迪科姆小姐死亡事件的反恐警察重新启动了对法拉奇先生房产袭击事件的调查。事故发生时法拉奇先生不在家，警方当时认为这是一起失败的盗窃案。该事件曾被调查，但未确定嫌疑人。此案在没有新调查线索的情况下被关闭。

反恐警察局（CTP）表示，警员已确定了一条新的调查线索，而该线索在当时“未被他们发现并追踪”。

76 岁的韦尔迪科姆小姐曾任保守党支持者及改革英国党发言人，7 月 8 日被发现死在达特穆尔（Dartmoor）的家中。她被锤子击中头部 21 次，在被发现前约 24 小时被杀害。28 岁的约书亚·基里（Joshua Keery）于 7 月 20 日被指控谋杀她。

袭击背后的动机尚不清楚，韦尔迪科姆小姐之死引发了关于英国是否为现任和前任政治人物提供充分保护的讨论。

袭击发生后，改革英国党表示，在 2 月至 7 月期间，法拉奇先生共收到 1,377 次威胁，其中包括 597 次死亡威胁。

泰斯先生表示，他多次感到当局没有严肃对待改革党议员的安全。“但我们试图保持乐观，尽管这对警方来说是一个非常困难且并非真正及时的警示，”他说，“我们希望教训已被吸取，且现在能被严肃对待。”

男子因在俱乐部外开枪致死被定罪

一名 60 岁男子因在伦敦西北部一家夜总会外开枪射杀一名青少年而被定罪。来自南华克（Southwark）的凯利·华莱士（Kelley Wallace）于去年 7 月 22 日凌晨在温布利（Wembley）的一家俱乐部外枪杀了 39 岁的泰隆·拉尔查（Tyrone Ralcha）。

周五，中央刑事法院（Old Bailey）的陪审团裁定华莱士谋杀罪和持有枪支意图危害生命罪名成立。

拉尔查先生的另一名亲属表示：“泰隆的生命在他刚满 30 岁几周后就被残酷地夺走了。他是挚爱的儿子、兄弟和朋友。”

华莱士将在随后确定的日期被判刑。

学术人员“要么是二流水平，要么是想过安逸日子” ()

……绕过了学术标准，这并非因为大学的程序存在缺陷，而是因为任命委员会的成员允许政治修正凌驾于其他 12 项因素之上。他们之所以允许这种情况发生，要么是因为他们……是二流水平，要么是因为他们代表大学管理层，必须过安逸日子。”而生物学家 Kirwin 博士的文献指出，如果标准帮助他们——免除人们的责任”。

当该教授职位对外招聘时，剑桥大学告知候选人：“大学在我们的社区中可以代表许多群体；女性、具有黑人、亚裔和少数族裔背景的人员以及残障人士。”在这第三项作为“必要”标准的要求中，是“在学院和大学内部支持教育平等、多样性和包容性的跨国努力”。Iswarhar 博士暗示，如果面试 Arthur 教授的学术人员接受了他的标准，那么只要学会阅读并写出他所有的学术成就，就会任命一个卓越的人才。“如果这是一个考量因素，那么我能理解他为什么会分享，”他说。

影子教育大臣 Laura Leot 指责该机构对多样性有着某种“执念”，她表示这在很大程度上导致他们辜负了学生。“我担心剑桥大学通过选择符合 EES quotes 的人员，最终辜负了学生，”她说。她补充说，剑桥大学的“A ‘Cambodia’（此处原文如此）”Deborah Justice 教授“有严重的问题需要回答”。

此次丑闻爆发是因为《电报报》揭露 Justice 先生 1941 年的论文中有超过 160 处段落与“与另一名学生的作品完全相同”。此后，围绕剑桥大学最年轻的黑人教授的指控接连崩塌：两家承保机构否认了 Judge 先生关于他是其指导教授的说法，第三家否认了他担任名誉教授的说法，而第四家则质疑他是否曾在那里学习。Judge 先生否认有任何学术不端行为。Zambola 教授、Sayah 教授以及剑桥大学已被联系以寻求评论。

“首相必须阻止 Pc Harper 的凶手获释” 续接第 2 375 页

融资法案旨在阻止 Bows 和 Cuts 逍遥法外。Her 告诉《电报报》：“Pc Harper 的凶手不能基于法律目的而逍遥法外。首相表示他正在采取法律手段并停止这种不公正。” 在回应伯纳姆先生致力于将 的凶手留在监狱中的消息时，。Her 两次表示：“为了纪念他， 的家人促成了《哈珀法》（'s Law）的出台，这意味着任何被判定杀害应急服务工作人员的人将面临自动终身监禁。” “根据该法被定罪的人将不具备提前释放的资格，而 的凶手却能获释，这绝对是不正确的。” 昨天， 的另一位亲属 Debra Ashton 对其儿子杀手可能提前出狱表示了指控和愤怒。在由泰晤士军队警察联合会分享的一份声明中，她表示：“提前释放 Andrew 的凶手会传递出什么样的信号？” “如果我们允许那些有效地伤害你的人来创造我们的历史，我们将成为什么样的社会。” 政府在这件事上站在了错误的一边。国家已经发声，部长们必须倾听。他的凶手没有表现出任何悔意。他们应该被关在后面。政府必须倾听这种强烈的情绪。司法部的一位发言人表示：“我们已经明确表示，我们希望阻止更多罪犯过早地进入他们的痛苦之中，但如果冒着监狱重新安置能力的风险并导致崩溃，我们就无法做到。”

莫普戈表示，战争题材书籍教会孩子们希望

作者：Ruby Clive 记者

迈克尔·莫普戈爵士（Sir Michael Morpurgo）表示，孩子们应该阅读关于战争的书籍，以学习希望。这位 92 岁的前儿童文学桂冠诗人说，书籍总是关于未来的孩子，并坚信在悲伤之后很快会有“快乐”。

在第二次世界大战结束一周前给《金融时报》（Financial Times）撰写的评论文章中，迈克尔爵士表示：“在我的书中，我试图探索我们全球如此多的人对和平的这种渴望。”

始终，始终要给儿童读者留下希望，即在悲伤之后一定会有、将会会有快乐。即使在战争中也是如此。

这位作者接着描述了他如何尝试在《战争》（War，此处指他最著名的小说）中“从各方，包括英国、德国、法国”讲述故事。他还提到将即将推出的照片引入到第二大成功的行动中，这种行动可以在教育中、在书籍中、在剧院中、在电影中开始，且必须发生。

“战争在整个欧洲（直到最近，它在爱尔兰、在南非发生过）都发生过，有一天它可能且将会发生在任何地方。这取决于我们。”

“始终，始终要给儿童读者留下希望，即在悲伤之后一定会有快乐。”

背景设定在第一次世界大战的《战争之马》（War Horse）（1942）在 2007 年被尼克·斯塔福德（Nick Stafford）改编成戏剧，该剧今年在国家剧院进行了修订。它还在 2010 年被改编成电影。

最近，迈克尔爵士在《影子》（Shadow）（2003）中写了一个小男孩在战争中的旅程，并在《乔国王》（The King Joe）（2007）（2009）中写了约旦河西岸的以色列与巴勒斯坦冲突。

这位作者 1941 年出生于赫特福德郡的圣奥尔本斯，在第二次世界大战的背景下长大。作为一名“战争婴儿”，他记得玩足骨游戏，以及在去学校的路上经过一名只有一条腿的乞讨士兵。

他说：“我知道他是个士兵，因为他总是站在中间，我母亲告诉我必须礼貌且恭敬地对待他，因为他（我）参加过战争。”

“我母亲有时会陪一两个人一起走，但如果我一个人，我就得从另一边走过去。我很惭愧地说，因为我不想再次看到他那条空空的、折叠的腿。”

迈克尔爵士说，战后的伦敦是“灰色且阴郁的”，但他家庭的战争经历给了他“勇气的碎片”。

迈克尔爵士的故事加入了战争努力。在 20 世纪 50 年代，这位作者参与了桑赫斯特的活动。

巴约挂毯为前往英国的颠簸旅程做好准备

复制品在配备减震装置的货车中进行试运行，因担心英国道路问题 作者：Craig Simpson

在经历了法国大革命和德国入侵之后，英国的坑洼路面可能曾让巴约挂毯（Bayeux Tapestry）走到了绝路。这种端到端的工艺已有近 1,000 年的历史，极其脆弱，以至于将其运往英国时产生的震动可能会使其损坏。

由于英国的道路问题，英国道路被认为比法国高速公路更容易产生影响。因此，为了准备从福克斯通（Folkestone）到伦敦的旅程，通过卡车运输该艺术品需要进行一次“训练营”。

去年，《电报报》披露，在法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）的认可下，该挂毯将被出借给大英博物馆。然而，这种外交善意的举动在遗产保护领域引起了质疑。一项法律挑战被发起以阻止其转移，理由是道路运输中的震动会使精美的刺绣分崩离析。但在经过一系列测试和广泛研究后，它在今年初夏安全抵达了伦敦。

为了准备这次由英国政府在 2005 / 06, 年期间促成的挂毯之旅，配备减震设备的专业车辆在欧洲“海岸线”上与低质量道路进行了反复对比测试。人们制作了一件挂毯复制品并进行测试，以观察其在运输过程中可能遭受多少损坏。

由一家保守工程公司首席执行官 Cochin Quoors 开展的研究，为该艺术品跨越海峡的计划提供了参考。她说：“英国道路相当苛刻，尤其是与法国高速公路相比，这并非秘密。我们很清楚这一点。”

“为了降低风险，我们做了大量工作。我们无法对路线做太多改变。可选路线不多，道路就是那样，我们无法改变它们。因此，我们必须以不同的方式降低风险。”

最直接的路线被确定为：从法国西北部诺曼底的巴约博物馆出发，前往法国北部的 Cropsolne 处的 Euromount 入口，然后从福克斯通的转运点前往伦敦。选择这条路线是为了最大限度地增加在高速公路上的行驶时间，因为高速公路的路面比次级道路更平整，且没有交通引起的颠簸。

该路线中最令人担忧的路段被确定为从 1 4 到 8,000 前往伦敦的旅程，其中包括

8 亿英镑 上月200英尺长拜邑挂毯运往英国的培训成本

A20是离开Euromont时引导路线的第一条3-road。根据交通部的质量数据，8 亿英镑m可由政府提供，这意味着议会负责建设公共问题，但可以做得更好。为了应对风险，艺术运输公司Ridha与vibration和 / 或Eurasia Kracht合作开展了一系列“培训课程”。由诺曼底Hiraka提供的一辆最-plantel货车在诺曼底的一系列道路上行驶，以观察领先舱的震动水平。根据震动水平，人们创造了一种吸震的“coathe-style”装置，将挂毯固定在货车中。该套件在荷兰以一种“极好”的方式通过了其环节。The Raptor中的课程还包括各种道路质量，以模拟将艺术品运往伦敦可能遇到的问题。团队发现调整成功保护了伪造的挂毯，货车和设备在2020年初通过了从拜邑到伦敦的稳固测试运行签署确认。在测试运行成功后，真实的挂毯被放置在气候控制货车中，并在7月 1. 在法国公共护送下向西北方向行驶。正如《电报报》此前披露的，货车在Cropsolne的前方以及另一条3-road上停了下来。使用了最后一条略大的3-road，从而无需任何人打开气候控制车辆的车门。随后，挂毯在7月 10. 凌晨抵达伦敦市中心。其状态得到了保护人员和法国官员主管Catherine Pigard的赞赏，她表示挂毯处于“极好”的状态。这件2008长的艺术品已在英国博物馆平铺，参观者将能够通过健全的策略观看挂毯的作品，以及关于Hastings和1996. 年诺曼征服英格兰的完整内容。它将于Sept 9 和 2020 年7月向公众展出。

哈利·波特精灵“坟墓”迫使4.3 亿英镑m能源项目分流

作者：Tom Saunders 在WHOI可能是最终的建筑目标中，数百名哈利·波特粉丝迫使一个4.3 亿英镑m的能源项目从一个风景如画的威尔士海滩分流。Free-land-bridge的Peter Beach制作方因其是哈利·波特家族中Isidley死亡场景的著名地点而闻名，此后被该系列粉丝视为一个“坟墓”的奉献之所。那里散布着彩绘抛光品、主屋，因此据称是这些虚构生物的安息之地。在关于该海滩将成为人口雨天太阳能和风能开发地点的消息中，MoCTR议会发表了意见，这促使另一个脱钩项目的开发进行了重新填充。曾担任该项目主管的Simon Ludlum在2017 和 2019 之间曾是

的一员，其公司Richard Murray参与了开发，他在播客《能源革命》中揭露了“新娘之水”的争议。他回忆起在项目获得许可后，他接受了BBC威尔士的简短采访，解释了国家将如何进入海滩海岸。报道关注了著名波特粉丝的呼吁，他们担心电缆将“直接穿过Ibdde的坟墓”。由于稀疏程度最终在几天内导致采访远离海滩。他已被联系以发表评论。

“机器人格雷格斯”全力应对日益严重的面包店盗窃潮

作者：Madeleine Ross

格雷格斯（GREGGS）是安装“机器人”设备以应对日益增长的犯罪潮的一系列高街零售商之一。由于如今盗窃和反社会行为频发，该面包店在南伦敦布里亚罗克斯（Briarox）的一家分店安装了一个婴儿 Poddermy，该设备提供短程闭路电视（CCTV）摄像头、120分贝的警报器和闪烁的刀具，并由安保人员全天候 24 / 7 远程监控。生产该设备的 Safer Group 公司将其宣传语定为：“我们让犯罪者在行动前思考”。

今年早些时候，格雷格斯在一些噪音水平较低的门店取消了自助服务显示屏并锁上了大厅，并在伦敦、伯明翰和诺丁汉推出了“Sothoan 门店”，配备防盗柜台以解决盗窃和对员工的威胁问题。格雷格斯的一位发言人在4月份表示，这些举措正在“极少数店铺”中试行。

Ruble Pod 设备配备了“scutt”闭路电视摄像头和100分贝的警报器，用于应对更高水平的反社会行为。住在布里亚罗克斯格雷格斯店附近的消费者专家马丁·詹姆斯（Martyn James）表示：“你会有‘Mastatt’的欺骗货架”，以及将包括硬币在内的错误物品扔向员工。他补充道：“我见过一些愚蠢的公众成员对员工进行辱骂——并投掷像警察（cops）之类的物品。”

我们必须在试点犯罪热点地区、标记和控制惯犯，以及改变应对长期孟医务巡查这一重大问题的形式上投入大量资金，以应对这些犯罪浪潮。毕竟，只有在警察能够及时赶到，且闭路电视被用于起诉犯罪者的情况下，这些 Safer Pods 才会起作用。

根据下议院图书馆的官方数据，过去五年中，英国的盗窃犯罪数量增加了10%。但只有不到五分之一的犯罪行为导致了起诉。6月份，警察首脑表示，该国新警察部队发现盗窃者在过去五年中犯下了超过4,000起罪行。零售企业警告称，小规模盗窃的增加正在损害其健康。

格雷格斯和 Boots 已被联系以寻求评论。

繁文缛节导致1万个监狱床位推迟至2021年

关于三座新巨型监狱中獾类动物和水草的规划争议仍未解决 作者：Nick Gutteridge 和 Sabrina Miller

英国超过1万,000个新监狱床位的交付已推迟至2011年，原因是关于獾类动物、水草的争议以及法律挑战。据《电报报》获悉，环境和规划争议导致三座原本应已投入使用的巨型监狱的开业时间推迟了长达六年。监狱的增加将提供1万个监狱床位的新准入，数据如此显示。

从10月开始，政府计划在2万个月的时间内提前释放3,000名罪犯，以缓解过度拥挤的监狱压力。政府数据显示，如果不是因为扩建额外房屋、改造现有监狱以及使用临时住宿的延迟，监狱中本可以再增加2,500个床位。

此前，《电报报》披露，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）目前正紧急考虑阻止圣安德鲁·哈珀（St. Andrew Harper）士兵提前释放的方法。总理将收到包括该计划中为杀警者或逃避过失杀人罪指控者设立的排除条款在内的建议。其他可能性包括强制更多非暴力女性出狱，然后将一座女性监狱转换为男性监狱，将强制执行措施重新引入，以及加快外国罪犯的遣返。

“英国应该退出ECIIR并遣返外国罪犯，而不是释放危险罪犯”

昨晚，保守党承诺通过退出《欧洲人权公约》并将其所有外国囚犯遣返至“Elijah”来解决监狱危机。影子内政大臣克里斯·菲利普（Chris Philip）表示：“英国应该退出ECIIR并遣返外国罪犯，而不是释放危险罪犯，包括采取打击措施……”

“如果安德鲁·哈珀的家人以及全国各地的警员发现杀害警员的人被安迪·伯纳姆提前释放，这很容易造成……”“伯纳姆先生再次搞错了优先级，应立即停止。”

政府数据显示，自兰开斯特（Lancaster）和兰开夏郡（Lancashire）以来，监狱系统的总容量仅增加了20个床位。在本·斯塔默（Ben Starmer）爵士庆祝其在2024年7月4日的压倒性选举胜利时，容量为9.8664万,664个，而截至上周最新的统计，仅为9.8万,000个。虽然在此期间创造了约2,200个新空间，但几乎相同数量的床位因结果封闭而被移除，导致没有净增。

2021年后期，新保守党政府公布了计划，旨在到2020年代中期创造20,000个新监狱床位，以缓解系统拥挤。其中一半将来自六座巨型监狱的建设，但目前仅有三座建成。另外三座——分别位于莱斯特（Leicester）、兰开夏郡（Lancashire）和阿巴拉契亚（Appalachians）——则因冗长的规划争议和环境法规而陷入停滞。

部长们此前将新超级监狱建筑工程的停工归咎于受保护动物獾的存在。根据自然法，獾只能在7月至11月之间被从其洞穴中驱逐，这限制了建筑工程的开展时间。所有三座新监狱均被地方当局拒绝授予规划许可，导致部长们不得不启动冗长的程序来推翻这些决定。

2024年2月，新保守党监狱部长还将现有监狱扩建的延误归咎于欧盟时期的关于水草的环境法规。爱德华·贾加斯（Edward Jagas）和营养中性（nutrient neutral）——关于化学物质流入当地水域的规定——阻碍了建设新牢房的计划，他

司法部的一位发言人表示：“在2024年7月律师们要求增加仅500个额外监狱名额之后，本届政府正在采取一切手段来保护公众并打击犯罪——包括未来的新名额！自维多利亚时代以来，到2021年将建成9.4万,000个。”

“不专业的内政部威胁驱逐伊朗女性”

作者：Sabrina Miller，伦敦西区

一名伊朗女性指责内政部行为不专业，因为内政部威胁要将其驱逐出境，理由是她在不超过20年前为了获得英国公民身份而提交的某些信息。

这位两个孩子的母亲（为了安全起见，《电报报》隐去了她的姓名）因惊恐而被送往医院，因为她担心会被遣返回国并遭到伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）的报复。这位现年岁的人道主义者于1999年离开家乡以逃离该政权。她在英国申请庇护，并于2004年被接纳为英国公民。

2005年，她申请办理新的英国护照。在此过程中，她披露自己仍然没有伊朗护照。八年后，即今年4月，她20岁的女儿Paris收到一封来自内政部的信函，指控其母亲由于仍持有伊朗护照，是以“欺诈手段”获得英国公民身份的。

信中写道：“国务大臣正在……考虑剥夺您的英国公民身份。”“如果您被剥夺公民身份，您将失去在英国居住的任何权利。”

这位近年来在伦敦参加过反政权抗议活动的母亲，对被遣返回伊朗的可能性感到极度恐惧。5月份寄出了一封后续信函，但直到6月下旬，在《电报报》介入后，内政部告知该家庭已结案。内政部为“延迟造成的任何困扰”表示道歉，并确认之前的信函是真实的。

Paris表示：“当我第一次收到内政部的驱逐信时，我以为这一定是诈骗。信中多次将名字拼写错误。信件寄到了我的地址而非我母亲的地址，而且内政部忽略了后续的电子邮件和询问。当我们确认这是真的时，我对这种缺乏专业精神的行为感到由衷的震惊。”

“在整个过程中，我们一直担心母亲的情况，”Paris补充道，“她一直在哭泣和惊恐。当她认为这是假信时，她又担心我们的个人信息被泄露给了伊朗革命卫队。”

内政部发言人表示：“我们通常不对个案发表评论。”

昨天，在一年一度的布里斯托国际热气球节期间，人群注视着一个巨大的热气球起飞。

精英警队将100多条社交媒体帖子移交给各警局

作者：Nick Gutteridge HUMAN RESEARCH, LONDON-ORIENT

旨在在南港（Southport）骚乱后监测社交媒体的精英警队已向地方警局标记了100多条帖子。该10k prison police unit调查小组于今年早些时候成立，旨在揭示在线平台中“与抗议相关的活动”迹象。根据部长们的意图，该小组在2004年成立，旨在监测2024年南港 / 谋杀案后的影响，该事件引发了一系列anti-managant骚乱。

政治对手将该小组描述为“阴险的”，并表示这代表了工党领导下言论自由和公民自由的进一步侵蚀。根据信息自由法获得的文件显示，该团队于2月开始运行，到目前为止已向地方警局标记了100条帖子。仅在6月份，由于关于警方处理亨利·诺瓦克（Henry Nowak）谋杀案的争议导致媒体和警方的轰炸，该团队就进行了50次移交。

警方负责人拒绝提供关于哪些帖子被标记的任何细节，理由是涉及预防或检测犯罪，或逮捕或起诉犯罪分子的例外条款。在一份声明中，他们表示情报团队“仍处于建立的早期阶段”，暗示未来移交的数量将会增加。

去年夏天宣布成立该部门时，时任警务部长route Hana Johnson表示，它将“提供一种国家能力来监测社交媒体情报，并就其使用向我们提供建议，以告知地方运营决策”。她告诉国会议员：“这将是一个国家层面的专门职能，用于利用互联网情报来帮助地方警局管理公共安全威胁和风险。”

该部门的设立是为了应对在南港一个Taylor Swift-Bennet舞蹈班三名少女被谋杀后在全国范围内爆发的骚乱。在刺杀事件发生后的紧接着的时期，即24 2024, 虚假课堂辩护員称嫌疑人是穆斯林，从而煽动了骚乱。嫌疑人后来被确认是英国出生，曾有过刺杀行为，其父母于2002.从Bronsdale抵达英国。

今年早些时候，在汉普郡警方拒绝提供显示警员逮捕学生亨利·诺瓦克（Henry Nowak）在其临终前状态的执法记录仪视频后，发生了动荡。警员给这名青少年戴上了手铐，即便他在被越南 / > Inges< / i>抢劫后告诉他们他无法呼吸，而后者错误地指控他持有武器。他们于6月1日失去了生命，次日警方发布了执法记录仪视频，这导致抗议者用瓶子、砖块和垃圾桶袭击警员。

国家警察协调中心表示，新成立的小组“通过构建新兴潜在风险的更广泛图景，支持警方对在线环境下与抗议相关活动的理解”。该中心表示：“跨警局边界的观察能够识别出那些仅凭单个警局区域内持有的信息可能无法显现的问题。”

“该活动的重点是提供战略洞察，并提高对可能与警务相关的抗议相关进展的意识，支持在区域和国家层面达成协调一致的理解。”

军队住房发霉导致士兵女儿生病，紧急送医

作者：Tom Cotterill 和 Samuele Hudson

一名母亲在她的士兵丈夫因居住在发霉的房屋中而变得暴躁后，向军事承包商提出了申诉。

22 岁的莉亚·埃米特（Leah Emmett）表示，在她的家庭搬入北约克郡加里顿（Garriton）科特里尔（Cotterill）一处极其肮脏的房屋后，她不得不将 19 个月大的女儿送往医院。

埃米特夫人的丈夫在军队服役，她表示，霉菌已经侵蚀了墙壁和踢脚板，且在孩子的床铺旁边生长着严重的霉菌感染。

她声称，尽管多次向军队及其承包商科特赖特（Cortrite）投诉，但承包商最终承认问题后，仅仅是“在墙上刷了层漆”。

几天之内，埃米特夫人的孩子出现了咳嗽和呼吸困难，随后发烧并患上呼吸道疾病，她表示这完全是霉菌造成的。

“压力大得令人难以置信。我觉得自己快要窒息了，”埃米特夫人告诉《电报报》。“我的女儿一次性感染了 HIV 呼吸道合胞病毒（respiratory syncytial upset）和流感。”

“她病得很重，甚至无法保持清醒来进食。我们不得不连续 10 天在医院之间往返。那简直是一场噩梦。”

埃米特夫人发声之际，一份新报告揭露了士兵们居住在糟糕住宿环境中的情况。居住在发霉的房屋中会刺激呼吸道，削弱免疫防御能力，使儿童更容易出现呼吸窘迫。

在过去一年中，超过三分之一的男女军人描述自己居住在潮湿或发霉的军营中。

一项名为“生活体验调查”（Lived Experience Survey）的调查发现，85% 的受访者在过去 12 个月中，在军官宿舍中经历过至少一次故障或维修问题。

超过一半的人表示，他们忍受着室内温度过高或过低且无法控制的情况，而 44% 的人报告了漏水或 104 died during，1.5万% 的人遇到了潮湿或霉菌。近三分之一的人遭遇了电路故障。

“调查结果还表明，军事住宿的糟糕状态可能会将人们推离军队，”她说道。

约 20% 的受访者表示，他们在军事住宿中的经历让他们想要离开武装部队，而那些住宿条件较好的人中，只有 15% 的人有此想法，他们更有可能留下来。

目前已搬入科特里尔新住所的埃米特夫人表示，她对这些结果“并不感到惊讶”。

“对于任何有‘便利’协议的人来说，现在发生了什么以及哪里出了问题都是显而易见的，”她说。“军人及其家属不应该面对这种情况。”

“为什么军队总是被留在最后，房子像破烂一样？人们已经厌倦了这一切。他们厌倦了。”

莉亚·埃米特认为，如果军队总是被放在最后考虑，家庭将会被拆散。“我丈夫在高中时就在质疑为什么他还在做这件事。”

今年 1 月，在丈夫随团在德国期间，这位年轻的母亲与女儿单独生活。

这位年轻的母亲赞扬了军队在处理紧急情况时的努力，但对承包商 Pinnacle（处理她的投诉）和 Amos（派遣团队粉刷霉菌）的行动提出了批评。

“我觉得自己被敷衍了。他们根本不在乎，”她说。

这次影响了大多数女性及其母亲房产的爆发，被认为是由积水引起的。

埃米特夫人表示，这导致了价值约 15,000 英镑的财物受损，包括一台掉在在地板上的笔记本电脑、玩具、衣服和家具。

“我们是一个年轻的家庭。这件事给我们造成的伤害是巨大的，直到六个月后的现在，我仍在应对，”她补充道。

政府表示，将在未来十年内投入 5000 万英镑 用于武装部队住房。此前人们曾希望此类升级能更早实现。但部长们表示，由于 Moll 寻求进一步削减开支，住房翻新项目的启动将至少推迟到 2020 年。Moll 的一位发言人表示：“任何服役人员必须面对住房问题都是不可接受的，我们知道在升级和建设新军事住房方面还有很多工作要做。”经过多年的了解，政府正在对武装部队住房进行 10 年多以来规模最大的升级，并在未来十年获得 4.9万,000 的投资。Pinnacle 和 Amos 已被联系以寻求评论。--- 新闻

NHS信托基金称跨性别员工可以使用女性洗手间

医院管理层无视新指南，该指南规定生物学女性应拥有使用单性别空间的权利。作者：Janet Murray

一家NHS信托基金告知员工，跨性别者可以使用新的男性洗手间，并对关于单性别空间的新指南采取了规避态度。

Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) 周三告知员工，在根据NHS England制定进一步指南期间，其政策或实践将进行“立即变更”。

根据该信托基金的跨性别包容性和单性别住宿规定，女性可以根据其性别认同而非生物学性别使用单性别设施，包括医院病房。员工也被允许根据其性别认同使用洗手间和淋浴间。

平等与人权委员会（EHRC）修订的核心平等法指南于周三生效，距离最高法院做出裁决已过去一年多。该指南意味着“生物学”而非性别认同定义了女性。指南指出，单性别服务必须基于生物学性别提供。跨性别者应使用为其生物学性别设计的设施，或使用单独的或混合的替代方案。

MPFT上周发给员工的一封电子邮件中写道：“我们理解这可能会带来一点不安和焦虑，为我们的跨性别、非二元性别和性别认同同事、服务使用者及群体提供时间，我们希望向你们保证，我们支持你们，并致力于成为一个包容的组织。”

MPFT的女性员工告诉《电报报》，她们对这一决定感到震惊。其中一人表示：“电子邮件列出了一系列信托基金支持的群体，但没有提到女性或认为自己是女性的人。在工作中提出这个问题是不安全的。这封邮件是由组织中的最高层签署的。”

与此同时，在最高法院裁决后，一些投资组合可能仍会批准超过2500 万英镑m的带有混合更衣室的休闲中心项目。据《泰晤士报》报道，至少有三个议会在裁决后批准了带有混合或通用更衣室的项目。

EHRC的法定指南本周警告称，如果仅以混合方式提供更衣设施，而没有单独的或单性别选项，可能构成对女性的直接或间接歧视，或导致非法骚扰。

在MPFT工作的人员中，有一半表示在讨论该问题时感到“受威胁”。MPFT的公众理事Jerry Stock表示，他对团队未能更新政策感到失望但并不惊讶，因为这是众所周知的。

《电报报》显示，Stock先生在2024, 后期成为公众理事后，多次对政策问题提出质疑，警告称这会对弱势女性患者和员工带来风险。在就跨性别活动和女性权利提出担忧后，他被告知同事们感到被“冒犯”或被代表，并被劝阻参加一次LUPC员工活动，因为那里“不是质疑跨性别身份立法或辩论跨性别权利的适当场合”。

该信托基金在2023年4月同意审查其关于洗手间、淋浴间的政策限制，但6月份的一份信息自由响应确认，相关政策和指南并未改变。

一名EHRC发言人表示，卫生机构和雇主应遵守法律并“更新其政策标准”。

一名MPFT发言人表示：“信托基金接受最高法院的判决，并正在通过一个结构化的执行计划实施EHRC的行为准则。”

“少数政策正处于正式审查中，这将参考外部法律建议以及任何可获得的NHS England相关指南。”

“作为一家心理健康和社区服务提供商，我们还必须在更广泛的法律职责之间取得平衡，以保护安全、隐私、尊严、保障措施以及人权，包括针对弱势患者的保护。”

《Crossning glory Western》正由皇家莎士比亚公司（Royal Shakespeare Company）将其搬上舞台。在斯特拉特福-upon-Avon的首演之夜，《权力的游戏：疯狂之王》（Game of Thrones: The Mad King）由诺亚·里特（Noah Ritter）饰演凯加尔·坦格利安王子（Prince Kharegar Targaryen，左），以及迈克尔·沙夫纳（Michael Shacffer）饰演坦格利安家族的艾里斯二世国王（King Aerys II Targaryen），引领我们进入故事。该剧的时间跨度为乔治·希尔·马丁（George Hill Martin）热门小说事件发生之前的几年。

警察要求动物权利活动人士参加“思维技巧”课程

作者：Daisy Graham Brown

警察在一名动物福利活动人士的家中与其对质，并告知她由于在社交媒体上发布的一篇帖子，她需要参加一个“思维技巧”课程。

Amalia Svenska, 32, 表示，当两名警察在6月底出现在她位于肯特郡皇家剑桥井（Royal Cambridge Wells）附近的家中，并告知她可能违反了《在线安全法》（Online Safety Act）时，她觉得自己很“理智”。

警员告诉这位评论员兼野生动物电视节目主持人，警方收到了一起关于她1月份在社交媒体上发布的一段短视频的举报，她在视频中批评了在实验室测试中使用比格犬幼犬的做法。该投诉由MBB Acres签署，这是一家用于研究和潜在微生物的日繁育设施，该公司声称网上有人对他们提出了某些虚假指控！

斯文斯卡女士被告知，她可以通过承认向官方发送旨在造成伤害的虚假通信，以及完成名为“思维技巧”和“犯罪帝国”的两门在线课程来解决此事。在警察交给她的、且已被《电报报》看到的的一份文件中，斯文斯卡女士被告知，她关于该公司的“虚假陈述”可能会“给该业务造成一定的混乱，从而导致财务影响”。

文件还解释说，如果她接受这些条款，她的记录将被列为“违规者”，这可能会在Exxon 2000 检查中被披露。

斯文斯卡女士记录了这次对质，其中一名女警员告诉她，该公司已“采取行动，称网上有人发布了关于其业务及其工作内容的某些不正确事实”。随后一名男警员确认该公司为MBB Acres。

她表示，她在视频中关于MBB Acres动物和废物处理的主张是有依据的，并坚持认为自己的行为合法，补充说她是在诚意地行动，并在提出主张前对其进行了核实。

斯文斯卡女士补充说，在寻求法律建议后，她拒绝接受拟议的社区解决方案，随后警方调查被迅速撤销，未采取进一步行动。

这位动物权利活动人士表示：“有很多人可能会被警察毁掉，他们会崩溃，他们会允许……我被警察恐吓了；我内心在发抖。对我来说，这绝对是一种侵犯，他们通过这种方式恐吓他们，而不是实际上拒绝签署他们的要求然后去寻求法律建议。我确实被警察恐吓了。我内心其实在发抖。对我来说，这绝对是一种侵犯。”

在YouTube上主持《动物观察》（Animal Watch）系列的斯文斯卡女士表示，这一事件让她质疑英国的言论自由权利有多安全，以及警察资源被利用得多么有效。

“这真的很奇怪，警察建议我必须参加一个在线‘思维’课程——我们难道不是生活在乔治·奥威尔的《西方广播邮报》（Western Radio Post）中吗。与此同时，在我所在的高街，邮局被抢劫了，但我对此一无所知。现在有些事情正在发生，而我觉得自己从未做过任何错事。我交税，我工作，我低调生活。而他们竟然出现在我的家门口。我真的感到被侵犯了。”

斯文斯卡女士长期参与“比格营”（Camp Beagle），这是一个于 2020 年6月在剑桥郡亨廷顿附近MBB Acres日繁育设施外设立的持续抗议营地。

帮助斯文斯卡女士引起对其案件关注的言论自由联盟（Free Speech Union）秘书长杨勋爵（Lord Young）表示：“《在线安全法》被提出是为了保障儿童在网上的安全。相反，大量的警察却在帮大公司屏蔽批评。幸好，阿曼达（Amanda）有足够的理智拒绝这次社区处置。”

剑桥郡：同样联系了加里（Gary）、萨塞克斯郡警方以及MBB Acres以寻求评论。

抗议者对菲利普亲王理发店中“残酷”的獾毛刷表示愤怒

作者：Harry Brennan，特刊版

PRINCE PHILIP YOUNG 因使用由獾毛制成的“残酷”剃须刷而遭到动物权利活动人士的抨击。Truellet & Hill —— 世界上最古老的理发店之一 —— 被要求停止销售这些真实的毛刷，并将其替换为合成材料和纯素替代品。Truellet 成立于 1893 年，该公司数十年来一直在剃须刷中使用獾毛，认为天然刷子能够容纳更多水分，并能更柔软地涂抹剃须膏。然而，动物权利团体将这款已有 20 年历史的“残酷”剃须刷定义为对乔治三世（George III）—— 即“（残酷）之物” —— 的一种方式。

《电报报》看到的该团体往来信函包括：Richard WISE，近期对中国獾毛养殖场的调查指称，这些“残酷”的剃须刷导致部分动物被关在笼子里，并引发了白色磨坊的担忧。它声称世界上大部分的 Truellet & Hill 表示，现有信息显示没有獾毛刷是 100% 超过 100 的，獾毛的供应来自中国。该团体的优质产品刷子在性能上达到或超过了动物毛刷。销售这种“残酷”产品没有任何可接受的理由，信中写道：“我们敦促您立即停止销售獾毛。”

Truellet 的“残酷”是指“残酷”，在现代剃须刷中根本没有必要使用獾毛，并补充说消费者不应在质量和公司之间做出选择。他补充道：“每卖出一把獾毛刷，都在维持一种从遭受伤害并失去珍贵之物的动物身上获取皮毛的模式。”

Truellet & Hill 坚持认为，这种古老的工具仍然是“剃须的最佳工具”。该公司表示，其产品的现有信息显示它们全部是“few %（百分之几）无残酷”。目前尚不清楚其剃须刷的獾毛来源。Truellet & Hill 已被要求就此发表评论。

调查团政与不接纳女性俱乐部之间的联系

作者：Nick Gutteridge

在对军队与相关组织的联系进行“全面审查”之际，陆军军官被命令与拒绝接纳女性的私人会员俱乐部“脱离关系”。

国防部部长库尔特勋爵（Lord Coulter）向国会议员确认，在戴维·伊斯特曼中将（Lt Gen David Eastman）告知各团应“倡导变革”，而非与禁止女性加入的绅士俱乐部保持联系后，该审查工作已在进行中。

此次内部调查将审查团级与私人会员俱乐部的隶属关系是否“符合陆军价值观”，其中包括“平等与尊重”。

此次行动发生在一场更广泛的政策争论之中，此前安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）拒绝承诺在2010.之前将国防开支提高至GDP的1%。

针对保守党提出的质疑，库尔特勋爵表示：“陆军副参谋长已指示各团对陆军与私人会员俱乐部的所有关联进行全面审查，以确保其角色、政策和文化符合陆军价值观，包括平等与尊重。”

“鉴于陆军团级结构的广泛性以及潜在的广泛历史隶属关系，这项工作量巨大且仍在积极推进。”

这标志着国防部此前立场的转变，此前该部门认为对于“个人成为私人会员俱乐部的会员没有特定的中央政策”。

目前大多数与军队有联系的私人俱乐部已接纳女性会员。但仍有少数俱乐部仅对男性开放，其中包括位于19号圣詹姆斯广场的东印度俱乐部（East India Club）和位于全商城（Full Mall）的[...OMITTED...]俱乐部。

此次审查旨在解决那些可能导致专业网络准入出现“双轨制”的非正式隶属关系。

[...OMITTED...]曾任坎特伯雷[......]的[......]，在旅行者俱乐部（Travelers Club）2016年投票反对接纳女性会员后，从中辞职。

反对者认为，新任国防大臣韦斯·布里丁（Wes Breeding）应该花更多时间确保获得更多的军事资源，而不是关注“身份政治”。

影子内阁办公厅大臣MBB表示：“军事俱乐部服务于武装部队已有数百年之久。现在工党试图强迫它们采纳其广泛的议程。与此同时，韦斯·布里丁拒绝承诺在2010.之前将国防开支提高至GDP的1%。工党应该少关注身份政治，多关注为我们的武装部队提供维持[......]所需的资源。”

去年，时任陆军副参谋长的伊斯特曼中将致信所有学校，敦促它们与被认为“与陆军价值观根本不相容”的1940年代组织或机构“脱离关系”。

一名陆军发言人表示：“确保每一位[......]武装部队成员都能充分参与陆军生活，而不会面临基于性别或[......]的障碍，这对于建立一支有能力、有凝聚力的战斗部队至关重要。”

此次审查旨在解决那些可能导致专业网络准入出现“双轨制”的非正式隶属关系。如果与军团或团隶属的俱乐部根据性别维持不同的会员权利，那么这与现代陆军的运作方式不相符，必须进行调整。现在是解决限制人员潜力的惯例的绝佳时机。此次审查不需要[......]作战资源，它要求相关领导评估隶属关系并进行对话。

“克拉卡迪利花园”是伯纳姆阴郁的遗产

公开的毒品交易和街道两旁林立的帐篷，勾勒出这位首相执掌曼彻斯特十年间的残酷景象 作者：Isabel Macdonald 和 Christian Brogan

在曼彻斯特市中心一个数字众多的夜晚，这座城市毫不掩饰地展示着其肮脏的内幕。在一条繁华购物街上，一个 Slundy 招牌的末端光芒中，爆发了一场激烈的冲突。奇怪的女孩们在地上打滚，尖叫着，一名蓝色女孩蜷缩在地上，利用体重压制对方。在挣扎着试图脱身时，较弱的一方抓住了对方的头发。当一名三十岁的人尝试敷衍地将两人分开时，其他人则在周围拿着手机围观。她们看起来不超过 14 岁。

当一名路人终于介入时，现场其他女孩的反应近乎愤怒。一名女孩站在几英尺外，抽着烟，质问为什么有人要干涉。她戴着一顶 Afo 帽，一顶 Swane 帽，声音尚未变声，暗示这场公开的争吵与他人无关。一名偷走电动自行车的男子，一边冷漠地看着女孩们互相殴打，一边嘟囔着让人们离他远点。而与此同时，数十名成年人就这样走过，似乎对拳打脚踢视而不见——仿佛年轻女孩在人行道上互相殴打，在这个地方早已成了家常便饭。

欢迎来到一个平凡周二的安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的曼彻斯特。在这里他成为了首相，关于他的遗产已有诸多记载。一个错误是，曼彻斯特成为了英国增长最快的城市区域之一，许多地区的就业率处于历史高位。这位首相的支持者强调他对公共交通的关注以及对当地巴士网络的考虑。这项政策及其黄色的“巴士网络”基地似乎很受欢迎。

当伯纳姆先生在 20 世纪 90 年代从剑桥大学毕业时，他觉得被迫前往伦敦才能找到一份好工作。如今，曼彻斯特留住的毕业生数量超过除首都外的任何城市——就业机会的增加和更实惠的住房是伯纳姆的另一个政绩。在他任期的最初几周里，他明确了自己的优先事项：将权力下放到地区、振兴英国工业以及改革老年人护理。

这些都很好，但对于普通人真正关心的事情又如何呢？经济制造和打破长期的政治僵局，导致成年人认为他们是伟大的部长，但一次又一次的民调显示，大多数人更担心犯罪和治安问题。曼彻斯特提供了一个令人不安的洞察，揭示了这些问题在伯纳姆先生的议程中处于多么靠后的位置。

当然，所有城市地区都面临着市长无法控制的挑战，尤其是不受控制的大规模移民。但这并非全部，而且我们知道伟大的领导者在地方层面能做些什么，当他们拥有全部的权力和影响力来使他们的路径在人性上更安全、更曼彻斯特且更多时。这里的人比其他地区更好。他至少应该在市中心有所作为。

尽管投入了大量资金 堕落者——以及 / 率规模的出口店。

Slundy's 之外的灯光位于皮卡迪利花园（Piccadilly Gardens）旁边，那里是一个臭名昭著的麻烦聚集地。它位于市中心，靠近商店、办公室和公共交通枢纽，过去曾是一个任何人都可以在午休时间散步、吃冰淇淋或三明治的地方。凭借其历史雕像、喷泉和广阔的草坪，当地旅游局 Vint Manchester 似乎仍然认为这里值得拍摄。它称这里“为大量人群提供了工作和休闲机会”，如果把那些四处游荡推销非法物质的卑劣罪犯计算在内，这确实是真的。这是一个两页的夜晚，一名土耳其男子正走向路人

，提供他所描述的“Maravican landside”。直到拥有可卡因。“优质的可卡因，”他补充道，正是如此。他从一个旧想法中自豪地取出了一包白色粉末。他在这里摆摊，希望警察能打开它。如果他被抓，这不会是第一次。他在裤兜里摸索着，掏出一张揉皱的纸。这是一份半截的协议。在因贩毒被捕后，他被允许离开，条件是他不得返回某些区域。轮廓已经模糊，但很可能勾勒的是皮卡迪利花园。不远处，另一名自称来自巴勒斯坦的毒贩正在推销。“来吧兄弟，拜托。最后一个 1 wanna-will, 1 wanna-go home。拿走拿走。自动取款机在那边。”难怪这个地方被称为“Crackadilly”（克拉克迪利）。在下雨之后，视线范围内没有一名警察。伯纳姆先生试图对这种公开的犯罪行为不屑一顾，暗示批评者出于“政治原因……在宣传该市的负面形象”。显然，他自己还没有真正去过那个地方，否则他就会发现，不需要任何政治上的夸大，就能让皮卡迪利花园的黑面看起来很糟糕。看着那些蜷缩在角落里、眼神狂乱的可卡因成瘾者，人们无法在经济、公共和其他亮点方面地带，它本身就足以说明一切。远离皮卡迪利花园的是一条原本可以很漂亮的街道，但对于其余部分而言。曼彻斯特无家可归者的估计率，每月至少露宿街头一次的人数

“我的主要交易，但我无法接管该房产，因为有抵押贷款。我已经在这几条街上待了两年，”他说。在21世纪初，在Crackadilly附近，工作人员在防护玻璃后面工作，与顾客通过那些你在售票处或火车站能看到的微小传声孔进行沟通。街道之下的金钱和货物交易未曾改变，仿佛这些交易也是进一步的毒品买卖。店员佩戴身体摄像头。“人们向我们开火，”他们说。显然，还出现过用lurries威胁的情况。随着伯纳姆先生继续宣称，曼彻斯特是北方的跳动心脏。宏伟的维多利亚时代建筑曾是肆无忌惮的工业资本主义的胆量，并在印度制造弹药。如果这就是30年的“伯纳姆主义”给这座城市带来的结果，那么人们有权询问这个国家的其他地区在几年后会是什么样子。

常识而非意识形态才是改善交通的驱动力

海蒂·亚历山大（Heidi Alexander）

当首相说人们觉得政治无法为他们服务时，他是正确的。长期以来，交通一直处于不可预测的扭曲状态，成为了国家的负担以及航空公司的负担。在我任职期间，这种情况正在改变。我正在构建一个可靠的交通系统，它能将您送到需要去的地方，让人们的生活变得更轻松，并且是以对纳税人最划算的方式实现的。这些是常识性的改革。

作为交通大臣，我的使命与《电报报》及其基础是一致的。让态度变得重要，日常出行远不止是从 A 点到 B 点。它通常是人们接触外界的第一步，是在关闭的高街店铺和倒闭的小企业之间穿行，是在进入工作场所和招募人才之间穿行。我们需要真实的环境和实际的改革来改善日常体验。

这一切，就像每一次旅程一样，始于我们的工具。司机们必须忍受每天面对一整列坑洼，这难道正确吗？当然不正确。正如我在四月份亲自发现的那样，一个坑洼就能让日常出行变成一张 £500 的维修账单。它们往好里说使我们的社区变得破败，往坏里说则在夜间造成危险。彻底消除它们是我最大的优先级。

历届政府都浪费了解决交通问题的机会。这就是为什么我们承诺将道路修复率提高 20 到 30%。我们已经看到了一些进展。在经历了十年的衰落之后，去年道路维护的百分比有所增加。但仅有资金是不够的。

《电报报》的“Ria on Folklore”活动揭露了肥胖问题，并以其不诚实的方式呈现。我们需要新的实际方法来要求地方政府负责。这就是为什么我采取了强制控制措施，以展示道路维护的进展，因此我要求将近三分之一的资金用于此项工作。红绿灯评级系统也意味着不再有失败的避风港。

同样实际的方法也保护了人们辛苦规划的暑假。在中东冲突之后，我们给予了航空公司保持航班运行的灵活性。这奏效了。交易所得到了他们需要的确定性。其他数据显示，起飞的航班数量比去年同期有所增加。

我也听到了人们对铁路的沮丧，而且这种沮丧是真实的。他们说票价太贵。这就是为什么我们在 30 年来首次冻结票价，为乘客节省了数百英镑。现在，得益于我们刚刚宣布的 30-27 票价回馈卡（fares' backcard）变更，学生将受益于半价票。

他们说铁路服务可能令人难以忍受。这就是为什么我们正在创建英国铁路（BIR）（BIR 将运行轨道）和列车，这样决策就不会处于悬而未决的状态。被票价搞糊涂了！GIR spy 将使其变得更简单！

我以前说过，现在再次强调，国有化不是意识形态问题。它是实际问题。我只是希望交通能够运转。我希望乘客拥有掌控权。我希望市长们拥有强有力的发言权。

首相被敦促批准北海气田以保障英国能源

作者：Jonathan Leslie 和 Fran Hamilton

保守党和改革英国党（Reform UK）呼吁政府在明天做出最终决定之前，给予 facilities 气藏足够的空间自由。该 facilities 气田从 10 月起可供应英国 9% 的天然气产量——这一增量将保障处理来自几个相邻气田的管道和平台的生存能力，直至 2040 年左右。然而，如果没有 ，该基础设施可能会在 2050 年前关闭——这将意味着关闭支持有限需求的 father / gas 气田。

改革英国党（Reform UK）副党魁 Richard Tice 表示，工党必须批准 以及 Rosebank 石油田项目，使其成为首个时刻。Burnham 应该通过现在批准 Rosebank 和 来增加石油产量。他说：“当我们脚下就有资源可用时，我们却在不必要地提高我们的能源成本。让我们停止在北海如此地追求第一。”

针对 石油田的公众咨询期限已不再是一个月。影子能源秘书 Claire Cuthillie 表示：“大家都知道在未来的几十年里我们将需要天然气。我们应该尽可能多地从英国获取，而不是从国外运入并产生更高的排放。这纯粹是常识。”Andy Burnham 不仅应该批准 和 ，还应明确表示他不会禁止北海所有新的石油和天然气许可。

准备在 far higher 气田钻探天然气的能源公司 Adora 的一名发言人表示：“ 和 代表了具有国家重大意义的项目，将支持能源安全、经济增长、技术岗位、 气以及用于公共运营优先事项的大量税收。”

能源安全与净零部门的一名发言人表示：“北海仍然是一项至关重要的国家资产，支持着就业、增长和英国的能源安全。我们很清楚，在未来的几十年里，石油和天然气将与可再生能源、核能和其他低 odds 技术一起，在我们的能源系统中继续发挥重要作用。”

该发言人补充道：“重点之一是提供稳定性，并支持北海的工人及其社区，因为他们继续为英国经济做出至关重要的贡献。”

伯纳姆获得脱欧后重新加入单一市场的计划

首相将提议扩大英国的核威慑范围，以换取进入欧盟自由贸易区的权限 作者：Joe Barnes 国际编辑

根据提交给伯纳姆研究的一项新的脱欧后协议，英国可能会重新加入欧盟的单一市场。为了获得进入该自由贸易区的权限，预计首相将承诺在整个欧洲大陆扩大英国武装部队的保护范围及核威慑范围。

该计划由尼克·博尔斯（Nick Boles）起草，他曾是一名保守党议员，于2018年退出该党，并协助了东·万纳爵士（Sir East Wanner）的政府准备工作。此后，该计划已在包括国家安全顾问乔纳森·鲍威尔（Jonathan Powell）在内的政府高层官员中传阅。

根据该提案，英国将推动建立一个欧洲邦联（将欧盟的自由贸易区与国防承诺相结合）。乌克兰、瑞士、挪威以及西方巴林国家将向欧盟出资。作为成员，英国将承诺将英国GDP的15%用于国防，并将核保护伞扩大到目前的两个区域。作为回报，英国将被邀请加入欧盟的货物单一市场，而无需接受人员自由流动或成为欧盟成员。

乌克兰将加入该邦联，并承诺维持一支庞大的军队，作为抵御未来俄罗斯入侵的主要联邦力量，并与欧洲其他国家共享其对第三方的防御能力。

博尔斯先生表示，需要一种新的欧洲合作战略，因为无法保证唐纳德·特朗普或未来的美国总统会“像对待俄罗斯那样捍卫欧洲”。这位曾担任多项部长职务的前议员表示，邦联模式不仅有助于提振英国经济，还将帮助英国解决欧盟成员国在接纳乌克兰（以及阿尔巴尼亚和塞尔维亚等国）时所担心的预算和移民问题。

他补充道：“如果我们试图进行一场双边竞争，试图说服欧盟让我们进入货物单一市场，我们将失败。但如果我们提出一个能解决他们其他问题（如乌克兰问题）的方案……那么达成交易的可能性就会更大。我们可以解释这不仅仅是一个自私的英国协议，而是一个旨在解决其他问题场景的协议。”

《电报报》此前报道，东爵士曾向欧盟提出一项建议，请求英国获得进入货物单一市场的权限。该请求被拒绝，因为欧盟不愿在英国仍处于欧盟之外的情况下给予其特殊待遇。

除了国家风格的共同防御条款和单一市场外，博尔斯的提案还包括其他方面，例如对抗欧盟的分支机构，如信用流动性和技术创新计划。

博尔斯的计划在Bomes智库公开。在被确定为外交部负责人后，他向前首相戈登·布朗（Gordon Brown）、前保守党外交政策顾问约翰·比尤（John Bew）、高级注册官理查德·戈斯（Richard Goss）以及艾莉·罗宾斯（Elly Robbins）等人士寻求建议。

虽然他的脱欧后愿景并非政府政策，但这位前议员认为仍有空间，因为博尔斯先生尚未决定如何推进其前任与英国的“结果”。

博尔斯先生认为，新任脱欧大臣汉娜·法尔科纳（Hannah Falconer）最近的言论表明，政府仍在寻找想法。

法尔科纳女士在欧亚人（Mr Eurasian）就任首相后不久的一次采访中表示：“我们现在讨论的不是立即执行。我们在接下来的许多生命周期中做什么，也将是工党需要面对的问题。”

首相曾声称他希望英国能在“我的有生之年”重新加入欧盟，但此后淡化了这一表态。

一名政府消息人士表示，关于如何深化英国与欧盟合作的提案正在起草中。这些提案将在政党会议季之后、计划于10月举行的领导人峰会上进行讨论。此前，在他在宣布辞职后，欧盟取消了原定于7月举行的会议。当时，布鲁塞尔方面表示，他们只愿与一位拥有继续进行相关谈判授权的英国领导人进行谈判。社论评论：第 15 页

恢复英国党（Restore Britain）联合创始人声称伊斯兰教徒“英国特质较弱”

作者：Patrick Aseem

恢复英国党（Restore Britain）的领导人表示，穆斯林比基督徒的“英国特质”更弱，因为他们与英国没有祖先或宗教联系。Sir flight 党的竞选主任 Tardis Fortress 表示，穆斯林几乎没有理由被视为“英国人，缺乏那种非短暂的、真实的、与这个国家深层的联系”。

这些言论引起了多个宗教信仰团体的强烈反应，穆斯林领袖将其描述为决定性的且具有歧视性的。在回答关于什么定义了一个英国人的问题时，Dewees 先生告诉 Taiti TV：“这是一个更深层的问题，它关乎与这片土地的联系，关乎这里的祖先。最重要的是基督教信仰，是祖先和基督教信仰。如果你不具备 或基督教原则，你肯定没那么像英国人。如果一个人是伊斯兰教徒，那么他们肯定没那么像英国人。”

他的言论在 Restore 领导人 Rupert Lowry 处引发了争议，后者提到“国王的父亲，英格兰王子，实际上永远属于丹麦社会”，而非白人英国人。周四在被问及君主的种族时，Lowe 先生表示，关于如何定义白人英国人存在“不同的解读”。他的评论涉及一份报告，该报告据称将白人英国人定义为父母双方均在英国出生的人。

Dewees 先生关于穆斯林因信仰而“英国特质较弱”的说法遭到了广泛谴责。领导穆斯林女性网络英国（Muslim Women's Network UK）慈善机构的 Golie 男爵夫人表示：“英国的基督教历史和遗产最终应当受到尊重。这些言论不仅排斥穆斯林，还排斥了其他信仰的人，并使 处于边缘。如果有人说他们没有宗教信仰——而这是社会的一个重要组成部分——他们本身也会被判定为 。英国特质，难道王室不具备吗？”她补充道：“成为英国人关乎归属感、贡献、尊重我们的法律和制度，以及关心我们的同胞，即使我们在政治上或与当届政府存在分歧。英国特质和爱国主义应该在我们的多样性中将我们团结起来，包括共同抵御试图分裂我们国家内部或外部力量的企图。”

China Against Antisemitism 的创始人 Ryan Mughal 表示：“这些言论与 相呼应，暗示犹太人和穆斯林在英国被视为某种二等公民。这是纯粹且简单的歧视，是在降低一个人的地位，因为他们的信仰。”Mughal 先生呼吁英国选民拒绝恢复英国党这种公民和教派分裂的品牌。“任何持有此类观点的政党都不是严肃的政党，不配在我国获得任何政治权力，”他说。

Dewees 先生上周被指控暗示奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Forage）被犹太支持者“收买”。他回应了 Rotten Tombs 在 X 上发布的一条帖子，在该帖中法拉奇先生表示自己不能被收买，而 Dewees 则配了一张法拉奇站在改革犹太联盟（Reform Jewish Alliance）标志前的照片。

“我保持空间——反对反犹主义”，而 Dewees 先生则延续了关于犹太人的“最古老的抹黑”。恢复英国党已收到置评请求。

选择技术或学术教育已成历史，露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）GCK 教育辩论已经开始，挑战过去那些错误的抉择。关于青年人为了效果而选择技术和职业教育（即不仅是过去几个月）某种程度上将被留在新标准中且依赖于现状的想法。一种驱动人们看向土地的动力。一种认为学生可以通过某种方式思考，将技术教育等同于较低标准的观点。事实绝非如此。职场女性和社会的变化速度远快于任何教室所能跟上的速度。然而，我们却陷入了一场属于历史书的辩论中。这项工作是良好的。我们可以继续在过去 10 年里为学生提供这种新方式。但在追求某种特定成功衡量标准的过程中，我们缩小了对重要事物的看法，且并不清晰地投入工作。很难看出我们所做的事情。事实是，我们继承的教育系统导致数千人离开学校和学院，以追求英语和数学。它受到高水平持续缺勤的困扰，越来越多的人认为上学没有意义。你学习！大多数人离开了那些甚至在最好的情况下也无法获得成功所需支持的局面。新冠疫情的影响被忽视了，而补课和干预措施则许多都如此亲切且。这些因素是当今危机的主要原因之三。在不为其余部分承担责任的同时，为部分学术标准的提高而自称功劳是非常危险的。这是同一枚硬币的两面。下一个挑战是衡量我们的系统是否适用于所有人。这是第二个改革集群申请，技术教育及更多。我们有责任让年轻人为现代经济的机会做好准备，并且我们正在让人们看到教育的目的并关注其教育。我拒绝那种认为接受技术教育就意味着你反犹太主义的谬论，而关于卓越的一件美事是它可以传播。在本届政府领导下，学术和技术选项可以且将成为互补。技术教育水平高的系统发展更快，流失率更低。技术课程还可以赋予学术科目新的意义。虽然虚假课程，例如当你同时在商业领域学习数字设计时，具有机构性。学术科目同样需要培养当今需求的能力。口头表达和演示是英语的关键，而研究技能、机会和协作则在工程和数学课程中，例如。所有人都需要核心学术科目的坚实基础，应用和未来的流动性同样如此。年轻人以我们永远无法实现的方式理解新一波的技术。经济（缩写）只能来自他们。现在是为每个年轻人的课程更好地准备这些机会的时候了。这就是政府的国家雄心：不是将卓越局限在少数人中，而是将其传播到每个年轻人的生活中。露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）是教育大臣。

两所私立学校在一周内关闭，指责工党税收袭击

作者：Patrick Aseem

两所被迫关闭的预备学校将这一决定归咎于工党的增值税（VAT）袭击。位于埃塞克斯郡的 Avon House 和西萨塞克斯郡的 Somptons [...OMITTED...] 表示，对学费征收增值税加剧了它们面临的财务问题。

这两所学校是最新一批遭受税收袭击、运营成本上升和需求下降这“三重打击”的受害者，它们此前并不在税收体系之内。学校还在承担更高的雇主 [...OMITTED...] 保险缴款以及商业税率减免的终止。这两所预备学校的关闭导致所有家长都在艰难地为孩子寻找其他学校的名额。

Avon House 的校长 Amanda Campbell 在给家长的信中表示，做出这一决定是经过一段长时间的财务挑战之后的结果。她写道：“与英国各地的许多独立学校一样， Avon House 面临着运营成本增加、学生人数下降以及独立学校学费引入增值税所带来的额外财务压力。尽管我们尽了一切努力为学校寻求可持续的未来，包括探索投资、合并和出售的机会，但仍无法找到一个在财务上可行的前行之路。”

在另一份声明中，位于 Lansing 的 Somptons [......] 预备学校校长 David Heslin 告诉家长：“学生人数的下降加剧了已经充满挑战的 [......]。尽管尽了一切努力确保可持续的未来，但无法找到可行的前行之路。我们一直经历着学费增值税、增加的 [......] 工资以及 [......] 保险缴款、大幅增加的养老金缴款以及出生率下降带来的影响。”

“养老金 [......] 将扩大到下方，我们无法考虑继续经营，因此被迫进入 [......]。”

这一公告引发了家长、教师和学校前学生的 [......]。Somptons [......] 的音乐总监 Annuity Williamson 告诉《电报报》：“我在这所宏伟的学校教了 43 年音乐。关闭学校的情况令人心碎。”

最新的私立学校关闭事件发生在该报的一项分析之后，分析显示学费将从 9 月起上涨 5%。在去年平均学费跳涨 17% 之后，此次高于通胀的上涨是由于工党决定取消独立学校学费 10% 的增值税豁免。

独立学校委员会（Independent Schools Council）首席执行官 Julie Belmont 表示：“学校正在尽一切努力为家长尽可能降低学费。然而，独立学校正面临极其困难的财务逆风。”

在过去两年中，出现了额外的三重税收打击：学费被征收增值税、慈善学校失去商业税率减免，以及 [......] 保险雇主缴款增加；而这一切发生在价格上涨和需求下降的背景之下。

尽管学费大幅增加，但教育大臣 Lucy Powell 此前曾支持税收袭击应进一步扩大的观点。

小学果汁将被“夺走”

11岁以下儿童可能从2027年9月起仅能饮用纯水、牛奶、大豆或燕麦饮品 作者：Genevieve Moll-Allen

根据将于下月公布的政府提案，学校可能会被禁止向儿童提供果汁，以减少其糖分摄入。

11岁以下儿童可能从2027. 9月起仅能饮用纯水、半脱脂或脱脂牛奶，以及纯大豆或燕麦饮品。中学生也可能从2028, 9月起被禁止饮用果汁，但“添加糖的果味牛奶饮品”将被允许。

一些城市人士称，教育大臣露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）将被记住为“果汁机器”，他们将这一计划描述为“保姆国家式的胡闹”。

教育部将公布其对政府委员会关于更新学校食品和肉类指南的响应，这些指南自2016. 以来未曾更改。该响应建议“将果汁及基于果汁的混合饮品从允许饮品的名单中删除”。

提案指出，在整个学龄阶段，“唯一允许的饮品”是“纯水（静止或碳酸）”和牛奶，以及大豆和燕麦饮品。牛奶必须是“纯的、未经强化且无风味的半脱脂、脱脂或无乳糖牛奶”，或者是“纯大豆和燕麦”替代品。

教育部表示，她将与食品基金会（Food Foundation）的青年食品授权等组织重新协商，以“收集儿童和青少年的观点”。该基金会曾表示，学校应“仅提供水和牛奶”，并全面禁止含糖和甜味饮料。该慈善机构表示，随着这些变化，孩子们将习惯于一种以水为默认选项的环境，而这显得一致且寻常。

磋商文件称，此举将减少儿童摄入由制造商添加的游离糖量。根据食品基金会的数据，仅果汁和奶昔就占了每日建议摄入量的15%。

据了解，政府的响应尚未最终定稿，鲍威尔女士将在公布前对其进行审查。保守党主席凯文·霍利米德（Kevin Hollimede）称这些提案“荒谬”。

“我们都希望孩子们有健康的饮食，但禁止果汁纯粹是保姆国家式的胡闹。”

Capri Sun因供应短缺起诉英国制造商

法院文件显示，Capri Sun正起诉其英国制造商，要求赔偿超过2000 万英镑，原因是对方未能生产足够的果汁以完成超市订单。

该公司在今年早些时候针对Princes Group提起诉讼，指控其在2018, 达成的两份合同中造成了“过多损害”。Capri Sun声称，在五个月的时间里，Princes未能生产出预先合同要求的实质性数量的产品。

法院文件显示：“相应地，原告无法全部或部分完成从大量零售商处收到的订单，包括但不限于Sainsbury's、Tesco、Asda、Ireland、Ocado、Morrisons、Waitrose、Co-op和Amazon。”

“这导致许多零售商出现Capri Sun产品短缺，部分零售商甚至完全停止销售Capri Sun产品。”

“在此期间，原告无法完成数十万箱的订单。原告估计该产品的收入损失约为£28.7678亿,876,776.70，利润损失约为£36.4252万,252.11.”

Princes Group的一位发言人表示：“Princes Group不接受目前的指控，并打算为诉讼进行辩护。”

“由于此事已提交法院解决，目前不便对具体指控或潜在的进一步法律步骤发表评论。”

“Princes将通过适当的法律程序阐明立场。”

“这是一个变革的时刻。”露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）在操场上的小组讨论中，就受控饮料的听证会表示。反对者认为，新任教育大臣应该问问自己，是否真的希望被记住为那个在20世纪70年代担任教育大臣期间，终止了七岁及以上儿童学校牛奶供应的人。英国软饮料协会的安迪·塔格韦尔（Andy Tugwell）表示，这一禁令可能会“被接受”。“每个人都希望孩子们饮食更健康，但由于水果和蔬菜的摄入量已经低得令人担忧，从学校菜单中剔除果汁对儿童饮食来说将是错误之举。”一名教育部发言人表示：“暗示存在果汁禁令是荒谬的。没有人这么说——孩子们可以在自带的午餐中喝果汁。”关于学校供应食品指南的更新计划已筹备良久，并于今年早些时候征求了家长的意见。这些指南预计将于下月公布。“这些建议将帮助学校提供健康的食物和饮料。许多学校已经在这样做——因为这带来了积极的益处。”

工党议员敦促伯纳姆放宽针对陷入困境农场的环保规定

作者：Nick Gutteridge 前线政治专员

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）正面临工党议员的呼吁，要求其放宽绿色规定，以帮助在夏季干旱中陷入困境的农民。面对记录以来最糟糕的收成，农村代表要求部长们放宽规划和环境限制。

上周的一项新分析警告称，天气可能导致今年的粮食收成减少 210 万 吨，给农民造成高达 2 亿英镑 的损失。在给环境大臣安杰拉·伊格尔（Dame Angela Eagle）的一封信中，十几名工党议员表示，部长们应通过放宽绿色监管来做出回应。

他们表示，应当在夏季月份放宽用水限制，允许农民更多地利用河流、湖泊和钻孔井。这些代表补充道，农业规定也应进行改革，使种植者更容易获得建设水库和储水箱的许可。

这些议员还敦促安杰拉大臣“对面临重复干旱条件的脆弱农业企业给予在线关注”，包括设立一项新的拨款计划，帮助他们投资于更高效的灌溉等改进措施。

“气候适应现在必须与气候缓解生态控制并行” “这只是为了努力维持局面” 政府政策的支柱，信中向《电报报》表示。“我们必须继续减少排放，但我们也必须确保我们的社区、环境和经济能够适应已经到来的气候。”

“人为引起的气候变化现在已经与我们同在。我们不能停下脚步。我们必须向前推进。”

这封信由南诺福克郡议员本·戈德迪考（Ben Golddecough）组织，他表示部长们还应释放更多土地用于牲畜放牧。在接受《电报报》采访时，他表示政府应暂时允许农民在预留给自然计划的土地上饲养动物。

“这不是关于环境标准，而是关于农业标准，”他说。“这只是为了努力维持局面。”

在另一次干预中，下议院环境委员会主席敦促部长们改革英格兰农民的拨款制度。该制度因鼓励农民将土地用于太阳能电池板和野化等计划，而非粮食生产而受到严重批评。

（Harian Carnschert，一名 24 的议员）表示，英格兰的农民在面对歉收时尤为脆弱，因为在脱欧后的农业补贴调整中，他们失去了基于土地所有量的补贴。相反，他们现在根据支持自然恢复和环境管理计划的行为获得报酬。

Carnschert 先生表示：“我们现在拥有一套为环境产品付费的系统，这本身不是坏事，但我们不再关注粮食生产这一环境产品。”

“我们在粮食生产与自然恢复、气候缓解及其他方面之间制造了一场虚假的竞争。农业具有敏感性和可持续性，它是保护自然和管理土地的最佳方式之一。”

他还表示，伯纳姆先生应该废除其首批关于家庭农场的限制。

红色警报：朝圣者旅途1,700英里以拯救电话亭

作者：Alice Lilley

一名男子从康沃尔郡旅途1,700英里前往洛兹岛（Isle of Lords），以拯救一个即将停止服务的乡村电话亭。

61岁的威廉·阿诺德（William Arnold）通过在艾纳赫特（Einacht）的新电话亭拨打52个不同的电话来完成这次旅程，据信该电话亭是英国最后一个仍在使用且具备双门设计的电话亭。英国通信管理局（Ofcom）的指南规定，一个电话亭必须至少拨打52次电话，其电话线路才能继续维持使用。

身为摄影师兼艺术家的阿诺德先生表示：“这个项目有点荒诞且充满色彩。但关于如何移动或彼此沟通尚未达成共识，而这些电话亭通常是乡村生命线中至关重要的部分。”

“这一切始于我在洛兹岛进行一个摄影项目时，我想给留在屋里的伴侣打个电话，告诉他我会晚点回去。”他发现了一个由英国电信（BT）在2万世纪60年代安装的旧黄色电话亭，由于多年没有使用过电话亭，他感到“非常兴奋”。他补充道：“但当我拿起听筒时，线路是断的，我非常失望。”

自2022年以来一直致力于拯救电话亭的阿诺德先生表示，他向英国电信（BT）投诉了此事，但这也激励他去帮助维护全国更偏远乡村社区的电话线路。“最让我沮丧的是线路问题以及无法在这些地方进行沟通。”

据信，该镇的校园门安排是专门为了应对该镇的双重天气而设计的。阿诺德先生表示，他使用了面值为30便士和20便士、总计2000 万英镑m的硬币，向52个不同的人拨打了52个电话，其中一些通话时间比其他通话更长。

数据显示，英国仍有部分公共电话亭在运行，数量已从20,000个下降到2024年。在2025年，英国电信（BT）在回收47个电话亭后，在全英范围内拆除了42个电话亭。

英国电信（BT）的一位发言人表示：“维护和运营大规模的公共电话资产每年耗资数百万英镑，这成为了阻碍更多投资于全时宽带和移动网络的障碍——而这正是我们的客户所希望的。”

罕见银质古董被盗，搜捕行动正在进行

作者：Babe Cline

在一家国家信托基金（National Trust）管理的庄园中，数十件罕见银质古董被盗，目前搜捕行动正在进行。大约 20 件由白银、甜点和黄铜制成的物品从巴德斯利·克林顿（Badlesley Clinton）被盗，这里曾是费雷尔（Ferrers）家族 400 多年来的历史故居。警方目前正呼吁知情者提供线索，以查明在位于阿克顿森林（Forest of Acton）、布莱斯北区（North District of Blyth）的这座庄园中实施盗窃的人员。

一件刻有费雷尔家族徽章的乔治时代银质托盘（a flat slate）是 23 件被盗物品之一。此次盗窃发生在该物品被列入调查仅几个月之后。此前该托盘一直被妥善保管，国家信托基金估计，该托盘在 18 世纪的价值约为 £25，大约是当时一名女佣年薪的两倍。这件银盘带有多萝西·米尔斯（Dorothy Mills）的标记，她是 50 年代极少数注册银匠中的一名女性。据信，这是该银匠作品在英国公开收藏中的唯一实例。国家信托基金表示，米尔斯先生标记的发现“改写了巴德斯利·克林顿银器收藏的故事”。

其他被盗物品包括一个雕刻成火形（a fire）的银质杯盖（stump cap）和一对杯套（capclothes）。国家信托基金表示，部分物品可以通过其独特的标记来识别，并敦促公众在发现这些物品时与他们联系。

国家信托基金运营部门表示，“被盗物品非常重要，尤其是那件乔治时代的银质托盘”。巴德斯利·克林顿的经理表示：“这对我们的员工和志愿者来说是一次非常令人沮丧的事件。被盗的收藏品对巴德斯利而言至关重要，尤其是刻有费雷尔家族徽章的乔治时代银质托盘。鉴于其独特的标记，如果该物品被出售，尤其容易被识别。”

“苏格兰格拉斯顿伯里”民谣音乐节如何吸引 Z 世代

凭借其盐渍旗帜、风笛和“craic”（欢快气氛），Belladrum 音乐节坚定地保持着本土特色 作者：Jacob Freedland

音箱在震动。地面在摇晃。青少年们对着看不见的方向挥拳，竭力尖叫。舞台被彼此依偎、低声交谈的年轻人遮挡，形成了一片渔夫帽之林。唯一的空隙是当人们兴奋地跳出来时。你可能会以为这是在某个地下夜店举办的说唱音乐会。但这一切发生在上周末苏格兰高地的一个偏远原野上，伴随着风笛声和“craics”。

Belladrum 是在因弗内斯（Inverness）附近举办的一年一度的音乐节，组织者将其称为“苏格兰格拉斯顿伯里”，它正迎接着一群令人惊讶的民谣音乐新爱好者：Z 世代。这次入场费为 £250 的集会始于 2004 年，当时是一个面向 2,000 名民谣爱好者的单日活动。现在，它已变成一项为期三天的盛事，迎来 2.4万,000 名节日参与者——其中今年近一半的人年龄在 34 岁以下。

推广人员表示，他们看到年轻人对当地民谣现场表演的兴趣激增。来自刘易斯岛（Isle of Lewis）的三人摇滚乐队 Post and Dread 此前曾在 Belladrum 演出，目前正在英国巡演。据他们 25 岁的鼓手 Udo MacLeod 称，地域性是其吸引力的核心。在他们的一首热门歌曲中，乐队主唱 Calum 'Brodle' MacLeod 吼道：“我是个乡村男孩，我不喜欢城市。”在另一首歌中，他问道：“你来自刘易斯岛吗？还是来自哈里斯的山丘？”

MacLeod 在从事建筑工作之余接演演出，他表示演出前 10 排几乎被“孩子们填满了”。他说：“他们在我们身上看到了自己的影子。”

与 Post and Dread 一样，Belladrum 的许多表演者在吉他和鼓之外还使用风笛和手风琴，营造出一种传统婚礼与现代流行音乐会相结合的感觉。来自穆尔岛（Isle of Mye）的乐队 Talbot 使用小提琴配合合成器背景音进行表演。主唱用盖尔语对着节拍演唱。在 Belladrum 的演出中，一名身着全套高地盛装的男子在舞台上跳跃，随着风笛的节奏跺脚——他是一位来自苏格兰西部的音乐教师——他在欢呼声中吹响了一个音符，仿佛他是温布利球场的摇滚明星。

随后，乐队收到了大量的请求。粉丝们表示，他们被这个音乐节吸引，是因为表演者的成长背景与他们相似，而这与他们同龄人偏好的、通常来自美国的说唱明星形成了对比。

20, 岁的运动装主管 Lewis Macpherson 在解释为什么选择传统音乐节而非说唱音乐会时说：“这是本土的。人们知道乐队成员的名字。他们是高地当地人。”

来自因弗内斯的 20 岁骑师 James Cuthbert 说：“传统音乐非常出色。这是文化，这是 crisis（狂欢）。”

来自 Colthaven 的 19 岁青年 James MacKenzie 说：“我的很多朋友不听说唱音乐。我认为人们在轻微地远离它。我从未迷恋过它。在这里，当有人吹起风笛时，聚集的人会更多。”

在 Belladrum，人们为自己的家乡感到自豪，人群自发地跳起舞来，认真地表演着许多苏格兰孩子在学校学习的传统吉格舞。

位于苏格兰高地因弗内斯附近的 Belladrum 民谣音乐节是一项为期三天的活动，迎来 2.4万,000 人——其中今年近一半的人年龄在 34. 岁以下。

不同于在国境线以南的音乐节中已成为视觉主调的巴勒斯坦旗帜，Belladrum 的人群挥舞着其岛屿的象征，从 Tareyton 到 South Usk。

Sonny Smith 是摇滚民谣乐队 Taernion 的主唱，该乐队以西高地的一个村庄命名。在介绍其中一首歌时，他询问观众：“这里有高地女孩吗？”在被问及为何购买音乐节门票时，来自 Mye 岛的 20 岁青年 Dale McDiarmid 表示：“这在我们的血液里。我们热爱 bassong！我们正在拥抱自己的根。你会在这里见到所有你在学校认识的人。我在这里认识 100 个人。”McDiarmid 小姐表示，歌词“与我们产生共鸣”，并举例提到了一些她最喜欢的关于山丘以及由乡村景观构成的歌曲。苏格兰的爱国主义也得到了大肆展示。音乐节参与者们表示：“这是本地的。人们知道乐队成员的名字。他们是高地当地人”，他们将自己包裹在 saltite 旗帜中，有时将其扔到舞台上，鼓励表演者也这样做。标语经常用盖尔语书写，许多艺术家也特意使用该语言演唱。在英国最大的活动策划公司之一 KMU Entertainment 工作的 Mark Mackie 解释说，民族认同感是传统音乐吸引力的一部分。他说：“许多粉丝在听 Rusing 成长的过程中长大，Rusing 在苏格兰（20 世纪 60 年代）非常有名。”“Rusing 是盖尔语音乐的先驱。”“很多孩子在父母的唱片收藏中长大——现在他们有了关于当下的自己的版本。这个场景曾一度沉寂，现在又重新活跃了起来。”像 Belladrum 这样苏格兰活动的兴起，正值年轻派对参与者对夜店失去兴趣，因为夜店现在被认为过于昂贵。根据一项调查，在 18 到 30 岁的人群中，有 10 分之 6 的人在去年的外出频率低于 2024 年。根据《夜间经济报告》，包括酒吧和夜店在内的夜间经济在 2020 年为英国经济贡献了 9070 万英镑，低于 2019 年的 1068亿英镑。Mackie 先生说：“人们去俱乐部的次数没有他们需要那么多。他们不想支付额外费用进入一个播放着‘乏味流行’音乐的黑盒子夜店。”然而，他们会去参加现场体验。这是 Z 世代感兴趣的一部分。演出是一种共享体验，年轻人对此非常投入。”但或许苏格兰民谣音乐持久吸引力的真正解释很简单，那就是它很有趣。

工党“轻量级婚姻”计划威胁导致出生率骤减

芬兰的案例表明，增加同居伴侣的法定权利可能会降低生育率 作者：Charles Hymus，发自 AFRIAN EXPRESS

据一份报告称，工党计划赋予同居伴侣新权利的方案可能会导致每年出生人数减少至少 7.5万,000 人。根据智库社会正义中心（CSI）的研究，如果这些改革在过去 1.0016万 年中已经实施，每年出生的婴儿将减少 7.5万,000 到 9.5万,000 人。

分析表明，赋予稳定的同居伴侣对彼此财产和财务的权利将导致结婚率下降以及更多家庭破裂，而由此产生的不稳定将导致出生人数减少。CSI 将其预测基于类似改革在芬兰产生的影响。

在被 称为“轻量级婚姻”的改革方案下，连续共同生活三年或三年以上且育有子女的伴侣，将自动获得对彼此财产和财务的更大权利。

上个月的一项研究发现，英国的生育率已降至每名女性 1.6 个孩子的历史低点，远低于 2.1 的“替代水平”（即维持人口稳定所需的每名女性出生人数）。 表示，这威胁到未来的生活标准，因为国家将缺乏足够的劳动力来支撑日益增长的退休人员数量。

副研究主任 Sophia Worringer 表示：“芬兰给我们的教训很明确：婚姻减少，同居下降，生育率随之降低。安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）应该放弃任何效仿其做法的计划。”

“在出生率已处于历史低位且人口老龄化给公共财政带来巨大压力的背景下，潜在成本太高，证据太显著，不容忽视。”

对芬兰（该国在 2011 年引入了类似的同居权利）的分析估计，在改革实施后的七年内，芬兰首次结婚的女性人数比没有改革的情况下低 25%。与此同时，家庭关系的稳定性下降，破裂情况增加。

分析认为，与未实施改革的类似国家相比，这些改革与到 2016 年芬兰生育率下降 10% 之间存在“显著关联”。 引用学术研究称，芬兰首胎出生人数下降中，有 12% 可归因于同居伴侣生育率的下降。

研究估计，如果英格兰和威尔士在 2001, 年引入与芬兰等同的改革，在 2012 年至 2015 年之间可能会减少 10,016 场婚姻，仅在 2021 年就可能减少 2.4万,000 场婚姻。

根据分析，2021 年的总生育率将从 1.44 降至 1.26，而 2024 年将从 1.48 降至 1.25。

表示：“自 2021 年以来，这相当于估计每年减少 7.5万,000 个婴儿出生；而从 2012 年开始的分析则将每年减少的出生人数平均值定为 9万,000 人，这考虑到了疫情前年份较高的生育模式。”

影子司法大臣 Nick Timothy 表示：“成年人应该能够选择其关系的法律后果。应对人们生活方式改变的正确方式，不是去抹杀或否认人们所做选择之间的区别，而是尊重它。”

司法部在决定中表示：“新框架将为处于坚定浪漫关系的同居伴侣提供一套与已婚夫妇截然不同的权利，有助于维护婚姻的神圣性。”

女性的一小步。杰西卡·梅尔（Jessica Meir）发布了一张自己在国际空间站外的照片，并写道：“正在使用我们的特制太空行走钻头安装安装支架的支撑杆之一。瞧，你们所有人也都在这张照片里和我在一起（地球！）”

斯特鲁根：如果《哈利·波特》作者先这样做，我愿意冰释前嫌

作者：Jacob Freedland

苏格兰记者 尼古拉·斯特鲁根（NICOLA STURGEON）声称 J.K. 罗琳（JR Rowling）对她“着迷”。这位前苏格兰首席部长在昨天爱丁堡节日边缘艺术节（Edinburgh Festival Fringe）的一场采访中发表了上述言论，而就在前一天，该作者最新的销售活动刚刚结束。

在周五的一篇 X 帖子中，《哈利·波特》的作者指责斯特鲁根女士是“Slitched with ever”，以回应她坚称自己对彼得·默雷尔（Peter Murrell）的罪行不知情。她的分居丈夫在 6 月被判处五年三个月监禁，原因是 9 / 05 / 2005 从 USF 承接。斯特鲁根女士告诉该广播机构，对他了解甚少。

“我们在不止一件事情上存在分歧——我们在独立问题上存在分歧，在跨性别权利问题上显然也存在分歧。”“我的天，那个女人对我着迷。我花在思考她的时间没有她思考我的时间多。”

在最新出版的名为《Punella》的回忆录中，斯特鲁根女士表示，她当时忙于建设苏格兰，以至于没有注意到默雷尔那些古怪的采购。

“那个女人对我着迷。我花在思考她的时间没有她思考我的时间多。”

斯特鲁根女士曾受到苏格兰警察局的暗示，但几张她持有与使用 colors 购买的物品相似之物的照片并未让批评者闭嘴，其中包括一个红色设计师手柄铸件 2 / 16.

当被问及是否希望与罗琳达成“特赦”时，斯特鲁根女士表示她并未处于“战争”状态，并补充说特赦“可能得由她（罗琳）发起”。

罗琳已成为这位前首席部长的公开批评者，尤其是在性别问题上。自斯特鲁根女士尝试在 2022. 改革性别职业以来，这在苏格兰成为了一个重大问题。

斯特鲁根女士还表示，她不会在 16, 去监狱探望默雷尔。这对夫妇即将离婚。她指责他在犯罪期间“在任何时刻”都没有考虑到她。

这位前官员透露，在默雷尔 5 月承认欺诈之前的几个月里，她因为关心他而觉得自己像个“mag”。她表示，她此前并不知晓默雷尔将过于评估，从 3 月起迅速增加，直到她发现他拒绝在爱丁堡高等法院出庭时才得知其意图。

罗琳的代表已被联系以寻求评论。

特斯拉英国销量下滑，驾驶者转向选择中国竞争对手

作者：Tom Saunders

特斯拉在英国的交付量大幅下降，因为该公司中国竞争对手的受欢迎程度在提升。这家由埃隆·马斯克领导的电动汽车（EV）制造商在2015年于英国仅交付了4525万,250辆汽车——较2016.下降了9年。根据特斯拉英国子公司的账目，销售额也下降了6%，至4.5106万.83km，低于前一年的4.36万.90km。收入的下降是在2014.收入下降2%之后发生的。

在来自价格更低廉的中国竞争对手日益激烈的竞争中，特斯拉在英国一直举步维艰。根据汽车制造商和贸易商协会的独立数据，上个月纯电动汽车销量增长4.6pc至创纪录的45,106辆，占据了汽车总市场的四分之一以上。这是市场连续第八个月增长，也是自2015.以来最好的7月总额。

然而，特斯拉没有任何车型出现在7月份最受欢迎的10款车型之列，而由“Chevy International”制造的中国Jaco 8.5,成为了第三受欢迎的电动汽车。另一款由Chevy International制造的廉价SUV Jaco 7,（非电动）如此受欢迎，以至于它已经unbiased the Tetsu Range Rover。虽然它与Range Rover极其相似，但价格低了约三分之一，仅为£2.9万,000.

Jaco 10.4也大幅度under ran特斯拉和其他制造商。其零售价仅从£2.75万,500起，而特斯拉Model 1.约为£2.8万,000。与欧盟或美国不同，英国选择不对中国电动汽车征收关税，因此它们在英国的受欢迎程度飞速增长。

然而，人们担心中国电动汽车存在安全风险。美国已出台规定，要求汽车制造商从2020, 3月起证明核心联网系统继续to Chinese developed software，并且it has around外国监控。

在特朗普政府削减了3.75万,500 (43,600) 的电动汽车税收抵免并废除激励电动汽车生产的规则后，特斯拉在全球范围内陷入困境。由于被迫降价以吸引客户回归，且信用额度收入枯竭，该汽车制造商今年第二季度的利润下降9%至81.2m。

与此同时，马斯克先生加速了该集团从电动汽车向自动驾驶出租车和全动力人形机器人的转型。由于在人工智能和机器人领域投入巨资，该公司的资本支出较去年同期增加了一倍多。

特斯拉已被联系以寻求评论。

克罗伊登（Croydon）议会工作人员移除了他们铺在水晶宫（Crystal Palace）樱花树周围的沥青。此前，居民和议员们对此表示强烈抗议，他们担心在保护区内进行此类工程会因阻碍水分到达根部而导致树木死亡。

他曾平息瑞典的移民浪潮。这就是他将如何阻止小船：削减福利并驱逐犯罪分子以震慑寻求庇护者。瑞典移民部长告诉英国

作者：James Crisp，发自 kcnk airrton

这位曾平息瑞典移民浪潮的人表示，英国可以在不退出《欧洲人权公约》（ECHR）的情况下，停止小船穿越英吉利海峡。瑞典预计今年仅接收 4,200 名寻求庇护者，为 2004. 以来的最低人数。自 2022, 右翼联合政府执政以来，驱逐出境率已增加至 60% 且寻求庇护的申请量下降了 75%。

移民部长约翰·福塞尔（Johan Forssell）表示，削减移民福利、驱逐犯罪分子以及强制寻求庇护者居住在接收中心，有助于将抵达人数削减至历史低点。“如果你来到瑞典，你需要学习瑞典语，你需要找一份工作，你不能犯罪。这不是一个内在条款，在 67”他说道。

他表示，偷渡头目以及上周冲击西班牙飞地塞乌塔（Creta）的数万名移民是一个警告。“如今有这么多左翼人士说这场移民危机已经结束。英国的情况告诉每个人，移民仍然是一个非常具有爆炸性的议题，危机并未结束。这也是欧洲上周学到的教训，而且与西班牙 [...] 我们需要确保我们的负担。”

在 2020 欧洲移民危机期间，瑞典在一年内接收了超过 8万,000 份庇护申请，是欧盟中人均最高的一年。2024, 政府报告的净移民人数超过了人口的 60%。

福塞尔先生表示，这是 30 多年来第一次证明，在不退出《欧洲人权公约》（ECHR）的情况下，有可能削减非法移民并降低折旧（depreciation），因为这是最需要的改革。他说：“我们完全致力于按章办事。但我们看到了一些案例，我们也看到了一些犯罪分子，在这些对抗中，犯罪分子比受害者更占优势。”

英吉利海峡的一种趋势。约翰·福塞尔（左）表示，瑞典通过打击福利，改变了寻求庇护者的命运。他说：“一个犯罪分子说：我听说要回国”，而这成了留在该国的原因，并补充说《欧洲人权公约》（ECHR）绝对已经过时。

瑞典参与了推动改革《欧洲人权公约》（ECHR）的行动，这得到了他们大人物政府的支持。它还支持欧盟采取类似西班牙风格的离岸拘留措施，用于处理失败的庇护申请者。

福塞尔先生说：“在短时间内且完全符合国际法和人权的情况下，减少与庇护相关的移民是可能的。没有万能药，但我们所做的是审查每一项立法，试图使其变得严格且坚定。”

他说：“如果你来到瑞典，你要知道，对于不想学习瑞典语或找工作的人，将不再提供福利。你也知道，如果你提交庇护申请并犯罪，我们将确保你被驱逐出境。”

“我们今天非常明确，如果决定是如此，你就必须回国。如果决定如此，你必须遵守。将不再有福利。你不能再在瑞典自由移动。你不能工作。”

该联合政府由美国前沿（US frontiers）领导，他是总理，也是该国右翼温和党（Right Moderators）的领导人。它得到了极右翼、反移民的瑞典民主党的支持，尽管后者在 2022. 左右出现，但形式上仍处于政府之外。

他们对政府打击非法移民的行为表示赞同，而这次打击是在一场由被归咎于犯罪流行所主导的选举之后展开的

针对具有移民背景的帮派。政府引入这些措施是为了增加申请公民身份的难度，并使离境犯罪者面临同样困难，同时实施更严格的家庭团聚规则。被接纳的难民也不再自动获得永久居留权。相反，他们的申请每三年审核一次。瑞典将在九月举行选举，公众对此表示不满。1998年，当社会民主党导致瑞典民主党排名第二，温和党排名第三。温和党表示，他们愿意打破禁忌，与由纳粹同情者创立的自由民主党建立正式的执政联盟，以阻止其掌权。福塞尔先生否认其政府的打击行动以及使种族主义正常化的政策加速了曾经占据主导地位的瑞典民主党的崛起。

西班牙现对意大利实施边境管制

本报驻外记者报道

由于两国之间关于大量移民涌入塞乌塔（Creta）的争端升级，西班牙已对来自意大利的航班和船只实施边境管制。西班牙政府宣布，针对从意大利抵达的访客和海运乘客，将开展护照、国籍和签证检查，直至 Sept 7，以应对来自罗马的不规则移民压力。

西班牙表示，只要意大利继续实施其自身的措施，这些管制就将维持。罗马方面称，其措施是基于 July 3万 有 7.2万,000 人大规模迁移至西班牙在非洲的飞地塞乌塔（Creta）而采取的。此前，西班牙曾威胁意大利，如果后者不迅速取消其边境检查，西班牙将采取反制措施，这引发了进一步的摩擦。

飞抵马德里巴拉哈斯机场（Alzillo Statue Madrid Barque Airport）的意大利乘客被告知，如果不出示护照将不允许下飞机。来自博洛尼亚的两名乘客里娜·法布里（Rina Fabbri）和劳拉·斯蒂基（Laura Stitchi）告诉欧盟友人：“他们没有检查，只是想确认我们是否来自意大利。他们没问我们任何事情，只是让我们继续走。”

根据西班牙官方数据，在进入塞乌塔（Creta）的 7.2万,000 人中，有 30,000 人已返回莫斯科，而其中许多人（包括儿童）仍处于该国糟糕的条件下。西班牙当局表示，在跨境过程中有 90 人死亡，尽管有八个团体认为总数更高。

这些条款表明了反移民的欧盟成员国（包括意大利）之间的紧张关系，意大利此前因需要与西班牙达成协议而暂停了为期一个月的一项内部规定。西班牙政府称该措施“不公平，违反欧盟声明，且对西班牙民众具有歧视性”。西班牙外交部长何塞·曼努埃尔·阿尔巴罗（José Manuel Albarro）将其描述为“对欧洲统一极限的挑战”。政府表示：“我们敦促意大利政府予以纠正，停止检查，并像对待其他欧洲公民一样对待西班牙人。”

数小时后，意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼（Georgia Moloni）政府表示，“在 Aug 15, 之前没有撤销该决定的意向”，并称西班牙当局“支持了新一波向塞乌塔（Creta）迁移的移民潮”。

也门冲突威胁将中东拖入更深危机

作者：Akhtar Maloni

在阿拉伯半岛的一端，外交努力正致力于重新开放一条水道，而另一端的行动则威胁要将其关闭。随着伊朗和美国趋向于达成一项可能重新开放 Bormon 前线的协议，半岛另一端爆发的第二场冲突正从另一个方向威胁全球能源。也门受伊朗支持的 Health 反政府武装再次对美国当局发动袭击，使得该协议变得更加不稳定，而该区域处理着全球约 12% 的贸易和 65% 的总人口流量。

周四，也门国际认可政府的至少 16 名士兵被杀，另有至少 50 人在大规模袭击中丧生。政府官员表示，Health 反政府武装并不在他们的控制之下且已出境，而旧势力可能会利用这一点。袭击击中了 Mada 省和 Rashtunawt 省的基地，这些地区由 2020 World Peace of the World 掌控。也门军方确认在袭击中有人死亡和受伤，但未给出官方数字，政府卫生部长已命令该地区的医院重新开放网络，以接收更多伤员。

Mada 是北也门反对胡塞武装阵营仍掌控的主要据点之一，这里拥有该国唯一的天然气设施和最大的油田之一。如果该地失守或力量严重削弱，可能会给胡塞武装带来巨大的经济和军事奖赏。Rashtunawt 作为也门最大的省份，是沙特支持的政府与阿联酋支持的北方分离势力之间争夺的竞技场。胡塞武装表示，他们袭击是为了应对“大规模的沙特军事部署”，旨在准备进攻。

胡塞武装的复苏体现了伊朗通过盟友和外交手段投射权力的战略。沙特领导的联盟和一次针对胡塞武装的打击造成了伤亡，包括该国 Niyam 边境地区的公民。此次袭击标志着中东局势危险地扩大。一名也门消息人士上个月透露，位于红海东北海岸的 Bosphus 将与索马里武装组织“青年党”（al-Shabab）合作，以控制该水道的两岸。

此次升级发生在 Bormon 海峡和红海海事安全不稳的背景下。伊朗和阿曼正在讨论决定由航运公司支付的自愿“服务费”，这本质上是一项伪装成服务成本或减轻环境退化费用的账单。

胡塞武装的复苏体现了伊朗更广泛的战略：在其中一场危机中通过盟友投射权力，而在另一场危机中追求外交。分析认为，Tokran 希望保留筹码，并提醒华盛顿和利雅得，Tokran 可以制造多少个压力点。对于沙特阿拉伯来说，这是一场它曾试图抛在脑后的战争的回归。但如果他们上个月轰炸了 Spain 并试图阻止一架伊朗飞机降落，胡塞武装则对此进行了报复。

在胡塞武装于 2014, 占领首都之后，沙特组建了一个针对他们的军事联盟，但该联盟演变成了一场旷日持久的冲突，导致数十万也门人死于暴力、饥饿和疾病。2022 年一项由美国支持的协议在最高层达成，带来了一段相对稳定的时期，但和平协议随后结束，使得胡塞武装在北部控制了一个事实上的国家。胡塞武装可能认为，从一场新的对抗中他们将获益匪浅。

阿萨德情报首脑被发现潜逃至莫斯科

作者：Akhtar Maloni

一名被指控参与阴谋并指控这位阿拉伯领导人的前叙利亚情报官员，目前潜伏在莫斯科。Bimana Laba 曾领导叙利亚的袭击行动，在巴沙尔·阿萨德（Sashar al-Assad）麾下担任职务。2024年12月，Red West Daman 在喀布尔。Laba 因其广泛的线人网络而被称为“蜘蛛”，直到叙利亚，且他掌控着该国最忠诚的拘留中心。

通过反叛武装分子在清理证词时在他手中发现的一本电话簿， 在莫斯科郊区被追踪到。该笔记本包含 125 个手写联系人，其中包括他的高速公路、医生、军方官员和卫生工作者，以及 BMC。在叙利亚内战初期担任罗马当地指挥官期间， 的电话号码被喷涂在墙上，居民被告知可以通过运输地段获得安全通行。证人称，有些人获得了通行权，而其他拨打电话的人则遭遇了迫害。

他最令人发指的涉嫌行为发生在 Hannah 期间。 在巴沙尔·阿萨德麾下领导叙利亚国家安全局，并管理着臭名昭著的 Seshapa 监狱。在 2012 年的宰牲节假期，一场爆炸杀死了 26 人，其中包括 al-Waer 社区的 37 名儿童。据叙利亚活动人士称， 当天亲自监督了轰炸目标。这次轰炸控制了他的起诉。

在阿萨德倒台后， 将情况透露给了大马士革的劫持者，那里被称为“人间屠宰场”，数千人在此失踪。作为国家安全局局长，他控制着叙利亚的拘留服务，并监控监狱中的共产主义外来者。被捕者包括间谍、回归战士、记者、医生和人权活动人士……任何被认为是对 Angola 暴动构成威胁的人。

当阿萨德逃亡时， 消失了，阿萨德在没有警告的情况下甚至抛弃了他最亲近的盟友。他最终抵达莫斯科，在那里，Ramzan 官员在国际执法行动中确认了他的身份。阿萨德本人居住在莫斯科的 Rakhotska，这是一个为 Rashtunawt 设立的封闭社区。包括前经济顾问 Yassaf Ibrahim 在内的其他官员也逃往俄罗斯。

俄罗斯在周五晚上袭击了一家乌克兰无人机和导弹工厂，同时在里耶（Rye）附近的袭击导致包括一名儿童在内的三人死亡。莫斯科国防部声称，其目标是里耶的 Rye Point 工厂，这是一家开发远程武器（包括 Flamingo route 导弹）的乌克兰国防公司。在俄罗斯对里耶地区 Brovaty 区发动的弹道导弹袭击中，一名三岁男孩及其祖父母被杀，另有七人受伤。

里耶地区州长 Tymur Tkachenko 表示，此次袭击损坏了 Brovaty 区的一栋住宅楼、车辆和附属建筑，并导致一栋新住宅楼起火。视频画面显示，建筑物中冒出碎片和烟柱。Tkachenko 先生在 Telegram 的一篇帖子中表示：“俄罗斯继续恐吓平民，”并补充说，应急救援人员正在扑灭首都一个燃料罐的火灾。

莫斯科还声称袭击了里耶的一处燃料设施，其国防部称该设施向乌克兰武装部队供应石油。乌克兰国家紧急服务局表示，在 Holomovsky 区有医疗机构、几名帮派成员以及一家建筑公司受影响。另一处火灾在 Holomovky 区的“一家企业领地内”被扑灭，其中一架无人机还进入了保加利亚领空并在 Kordam 村附近爆炸。

保加利亚总理 Ramsey Rader 表示，无人机在靠近罗马尼亚边境的一片向日葵田中爆炸，未造成人员伤亡或财产损失。爆炸地点距离保加利亚公司的 Trans-Bulkan 天然气管道（该管道从土耳其延伸至乌克兰）1,000米，距离罗马尼亚的压缩站 200米。

偏执的普京甚至提及他的反对派安东尼娅·朗福德（Antonia Langford），俄罗斯领导人的秘密警察发起镇压，而乌克兰无人机将战争带到了莫斯科的街道上

“我会思考‘特朗普’的历史，”俄罗斯国家主席维什切斯蒂夫·武库林（Vyschestiv Vukulin）在下个月做出决定前关闭议会最后一次会议时，重复了五次这一呐喊。这场战争是警察掌声的一次重大飞跃，但武库林先生在不久后便因其热情而获得了弗拉基米尔·普京授予的一枚奖章，这被认为是他在美国“最古老的劳动”中，甚至是本周最奢华的政治新奇展示。仅仅两天后，外交部长和国家媒体便忘记了职业生涯，称普京的掌权是其国家被“上帝揉碎”的迹象。

然而，这种不受惩罚的剧场掩盖了一个更为统一的现实，即关于乌克兰对俄罗斯深层打击、经济不稳定、猖獗的燃料危机以及动员传闻的公众讨论日益增加，克里姆林宫已采取行动镇压领导者，甚至包括异议之声。即使是由竞争政党组成的所谓“系统性反对派”——这些政党被认为被用来维持多元主义的假象，同时在政权的利益范围内运作——其候选人也被清除或被禁止参选。即使是该国最著名的反战政治人物之一鲁多尔金（Rudolzhin），在体制内从事了数十年的职业后，也被迫离开国家。

武库林是唯一一个将选举与公开反战立场联系起来的港湾，目前看来他将被禁。国际战略研究所专家奈杰尔·古尔德-埃克索伦（Nigel Gould-Exoron）博士表示：“人们并不期望俄罗斯选举能成为一个主要来源，人们一直感觉到克里姆林宫认为举行名为‘选举’的活动至少是有用的——这与苏联时期不同，当时只有一个最困难的政党。现在，在战争的第五年，克里姆林宫没有传出他们拒绝或信任其对公众舆论控制的迹象。”

在过去的五个月里，至少有 21 名政治人物被禁止参加投票，其他人则被指控展示“极端主义”或纳粹符号。在某些案例中，违规行为是发布与反对派领导人阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼（Alexei Navalny）相关的图像或符号（其盟友在其他地方被国家定为成员），候选人因发布被禁社交媒体网站 Instagram 和 Facebook 的链接而受到处罚。一名候选人，莫斯科莫希多夫（Mo Shidov）区的自我驱动大众候选人丹尼尔·诺瓦切（Danil Novace），因穿着一件彩虹色 T 恤而被逮捕并取消资格。

被排除的人员绝大多数隶属于武库林，这是俄罗斯最古老的生命财产。其成员中有八人被监禁，包括副领导人马克西姆·克拉格洛夫（Maxim Kraglov）。虽然不太可能获得任何普京人的支持，他的保安。下个月将迎来自他入侵乌克兰以来的 500 场议会选举，该党在今年早些时候预计将获得个位数的得票率，其前景有望因寻求表达对战争不满而被取消资格的选民而得到提升。

正因如此，猜测日益增加，认为克里姆林宫可能会完全禁止该党，该党自苏联解体以来的每一次议会选举都参加了。周五，俄罗斯最高法院表示，将审理由亲克里姆林宫的非信任政党“祖国党”（Rodina）提起的一项要求取消武库林资格的诉讼。“祖国党”的领导人阿列克谢·茹拉夫列夫（Alexei Zhuravlev）将该党成员描述为国家叛徒。

“他们想把我们从选举中除名，因为我们主张和平，而他们想延长战争的悲剧（以及制造）”——武库林的领导人尼古拉·克里扎科夫（Nikolay Krizakov）说道，

在Telegram上反驳道。禁止鲁多日金（Mr Rudolzhin）参选的决定也证明了这一点，长期以来，许多人将他视为莫斯科用来模拟象征性反对派的模范。鲁多日金原计划作为独立候选人参选。“这是一位资深人士，一名自由派反对派。几十年来，他的言论一直处于允许批评的限度之内，不像纳瓦尔尼那样，”古尔德-埃克索伦博士（Dr Gould-Exoron）说道，并指出两年前，他甚至被允许开始总统选举的候选人登记程序。“现在他发现自己正面临生命威胁。”在普京及其执政党和同僚的支持率创下历史新低，且对其统治的不满情绪表达日益明显之际，普京甚至对批评率的管理也变得极其敏感。在他看来，克里姆林宫称其为狗的人突然转向攻击普京，并迅速被送入精神病院。莫斯科还计划影响维多利亚·博里斯（Victoria Borys），她对俄罗斯问题的尖锐批评在网上疯传；以及资深人士亚历山大·卢温（Alexander Luvin），他曾威胁要发动叛乱；还有年轻演员阿列克谢·尤鲁舒克（Alexei Yurushchuk），他的一段热门电影视频宣称普京并不“令人印象深刻”，且克里米亚“并不确定”。分析人士和接近克里姆林宫的消息人士表示，这种日益增长的宽容度，在某种程度上已逐渐被偶然因素所掩盖，而安全机构则利用普京的孤立和偏执来加强其权力掌控。许多亲近总统的人担心，联邦安全局（FSB）被赋予了未经证实的极大自由度，特别是负责反恐和捍卫俄罗斯政治秩序的第二部门，以巧妙地打击被认定的敌人。据罗森伯格（Rosenberg）报道，俄罗斯精英阶层中接受的一项关键倡议是，他们发现自己正处于安全鹰派的交叉火力之中。随着乌克兰扩大在俄罗斯境内的深层打击，以及针对莫斯科军事领导层开展的尝试暗杀行动，安全机构可能会更加大胆地施压以实施更严格的控制。与此同时，在过去的几周里，乌克兰几乎每晚都对该国的电子商务中心Wylifereyes发动袭击。作为俄罗斯将战争带回国内计划的一部分，这些袭击摧毁了全球战争仓库四分之一以上的容量，造成数千亿的损失：一种影响，并扰乱了全国的供应链。根据一家新闻机构的报道，普京总统还开始避免前往更容易被乌克兰无人机抵达的国家场所，这进一步表明他越来越关注个人安全。“在他6月份地区旅行行程中的少数几个地点中，只有一个——俄罗斯——是经常被攻击的目标。在他停留的一整天时间里，该地区的居民配备了且每个港口都表明他——并以通常价格的一半提供。然而，大多数需求是短暂的。普京一离开，价格立即回升。”

五角大楼就泄密事件指责前空军部长

作者：Natasha Leake

五角大楼指责乔·拜登的前空军部长泄露关于英国空军的机密信息（bar）记者，并撤销了他的秘密安全许可。

弗兰克·肯德尔（Frank Kendall）曾于 2018 年至 2023 年担任美国第 20 任空军部长。上个月，他在《副民用部队》（Vice Civil Force）中被引用的话称，卡塔尔赠送给唐纳德·特朗普的一架波音 745 缺乏通常搭载总统的其他机型的防御能力。

7 月，政府就相关报道传唤了数名《纽约时报》记者。报道还称，作为“安全预防措施”，美国全职人员在特朗普从土耳其北约峰会返回时被加强部署。

五角大楼表示，肯德尔在周五被撤销了接触机密资料的权限。

“立即生效，战争部已撤销前空军部长弗兰克·肯德尔接触机密信息的资格及其担任任何废弃职位的能力，”五角大楼发言人法雷尔（Farrell）在周五表示。“保护机密信息是一项不可逾越的职责，”他补充道。“那些为了获取权限而违背信任的人，将失去任何需要该权限的角色。”

特朗普政府已评估其追踪空军持有者的努力。周四，总统誓言要惩处那些透露美国正面临关键导弹短缺的人。

据报道，空军称波音 747 在作为“空军一号”投入使用前，并未“配备足够的安全措施”。报道引用官员的话质疑，卡塔尔的这架飞机是否安装了“先进的导弹防御系统和其他设施”。

在信息泄露后，国防主管伊万·布拉戈维克（Ivan Blagovik）宣布，五角大楼和美国司法部（DOJ）已成立联合工作组，以识别并起诉他所谓的向公众“未经授权”披露敏感信息的行为。

肯德尔已被要求就此发表评论。

亨特·拜登：我父亲赦免我的决定对其政治遗产不利

作者：Emily Smith

国外倡议新闻支持

亨利·雷耶斯（HENRY REYES）表示，其父亲赦免他的决定对这位前美国总统的政治遗产“不利”。

亨特·拜登在原定被判刑之前，于2018年被其父亲赦免了联邦枪支指控。此次赦免涵盖了在2016年1月至2018.年11月期间犯下的任何联邦罪行。

这位于2020,年1月离任的前总统曾多次坚称他不会赦免自己的儿子，但随后表示，他最终介入是因为亨特受到了“事实上且不公正的起诉”。

亨特·拜登现在承认，这一决定对他父亲和国家造成了损害。

他告诉BBC：“这对我们的国家好吗？这对美国人民好吗？对我父亲的政治遗产好吗？所以，在所有方面，它都不好。”他表示，对“第一拳”的首次异议是某种可以被批评且有充分理由的事情，而他无法获得真正的其他结果。

他补充道：“我所知道的是，我感激他为我这么做，我唯一能说的是，如果你认为我父亲没有为我这么做，而是让我听凭唐纳德·特朗普的摆布，你会怎么看待我父亲？”

亨特·拜登多次成为特朗普先生及其盟友的目标，他表示此次赦免保护他免受新总统的报复和打击。

他在2024年6月在特拉华州的联邦法院被判定犯有三项与购买相关的重罪。检察官表示，他在联邦表格中声明自己并非药物的非法使用者或成瘾者，而当时他正持有该许可证。亨特·拜登此前曾向该机构讲述过他与可卡因成瘾作斗争的经历。

对于中国，他多次否认曾赦免其子，但在2024,年12月的争议中，他表示：“周五，我签署了对我儿子亨特的赦免令。”

“从我就职那天起，我就说我不会干预司法部的决策，我希望我的话依然有效，即便我深感我的儿子受到了‘事实上且不公正的起诉’。”

古巴政权更迭将“成为另一个伊朗”

美国情报机构警告，强硬派系将取代领导人物鲁迪·卡斯特罗（Rudi Castro） 作者：Emily Smith 外交杂志 / Swing记者

路透社：古巴的变革将更像伊朗而非委内瑞拉。美国“同意已开展工作”。随着华盛顿增加对哈瓦那的压力，官员们正在寻找一位新的古巴领导人，类似于委内瑞拉副总统罗德里格斯（Rodriguez），他在美国抓捕尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolás Maduro）后接管政权。然而，据获悉情报报告的消息人士告诉《星食时报》（Star-food Times），美国情报机构认为古巴的情况与委内瑞拉不相似，而更像伊朗。

古巴现任总统是米格尔·迪亚斯-卡萨里（Miguel Díaz-Casari），他是自2018年革命以来首位在卡斯特罗家族之外领导该国的人。如果美国军队抓捕了仍是关键政治人物的前总统鲁迪·卡斯特罗，接管政权的古巴人将来自强硬派系，就像他们的伊朗同行一样。中央情报局（CIA）已秘密成立了古巴特遣队，这表明美国政府正准备加大力度，以满足唐纳德·特朗普对该国的要求。

据了解，针对这个共产主义国家的计划是“政权变更”（regime alteration）而非“政权更迭”（regime change）。美国和以色列官员在二月战争开始前为伊朗制定了类似的计划。美国对古巴实施了封锁，切断了燃料运输，导致全岛出现停电、食物短缺和经济崩溃。自一月以来，特朗普先生仅授权一艘伊朗外籍船只靠岸，大幅减少了维持该国陈旧电站运行的可用燃料。

目前尚不清楚白宫更希望谁来领导古巴，且缺乏实际的选择。古巴政府可能会支持菲德尔·卡斯特罗的曾侄孙奥斯卡·佩雷斯-奥利瓦·弗拉哈（Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraja），但他可能无法被美国接受。特朗普政府可能会倾向于另一位卡斯特罗亲属，鲁迪·奥赖利安·卡斯特罗（Rudi O'Reillyane Castro），被称为“雷德”（Raider）或“螃蟹”（El Campoy）。

卡斯特罗先生的孙子曾担任前总统的护卫。中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫（John Ratcliffe）今年访问了卡拉韦里（Calaverri），并会见了罗德里格斯·卡斯特罗先生和拉萨罗·阿里韦罗（Lázaro Alivero），以及另一位可能的替代人选——互联网部长阿尔瓦科·卡桑（Alvaco Casan）。

由于卡斯特罗先生在马杜罗先生内部不担任职务，而特朗普先生呼吁结束安装罗德里格斯为总统的抓捕行动——抓捕并致电他并不会立即改变领导层。特朗普先生决心在伊朗复制委内瑞拉模式，通过安装一位能够轻松掌权并与华盛顿密切合作的领导人来实现。然而，被确定为候选人的伊朗官员在2月28日最高领袖阿里·克姆特里（Ali Khmteeri）被杀、战争开始后不久的美国袭击中被悄悄杀害。

美国在一月抓获了委内瑞拉领导人马杜罗先生，由特种部队在夜间将其抓捕。他目前在纽约布鲁克林接受援助，在那里等待毒品贩运和计划变更的审判，罗德里格斯先生在没有援助的情况下接替了他的位置。

本周，古巴驻英国大使否认古巴人民将面对任何美国军事干预而战至死亡。查塔姆研究所（Chatham House）拉丁美洲项目主任克里斯·塞尔斯坦（Chris Selstein）表示：“伊朗和古巴是存在了很长时间的革命政权。”这意味着他们非常剧烈，非常僵化，具有意识形态色彩，并且能够维持一个更加同质化且一致的领导圈子。

自由如鸟：一只在叙利亚被偷猎者捕获的罕见东帝国鹰被重新释放回野外。Feliks 在 2020. 年 7 月的首次迁徙期间偏离航线，随后被动物贩子抓获。经过长时间的谈判，这只鸟最终被移交给贝鲁特的一家野生动物中心。今年 6 月，它被飞回塞尔维亚进行康复治疗，随后被重新释放回野外。东帝国鹰在塞尔维亚受到严格保护，该地区的种群数量在 2007 年曾下降至仅剩一对繁殖 pair。

为什么 1万月7日 的余波导致整个以色列国家遭受创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）

保罗·努基 (Paul Nuki) / ISCRIBU 杂志 / 特派记者

仅在这一月，就有多名以色列士兵接连自杀，其中两人是年轻女性。这使得自年初以来自杀的人数达到了 6 人，这一比率高于过去一年的任何时间点。上周传出的消息让这个月变得更加糟糕：在 10月7日 大屠杀期间于 Nova 音乐节被杀的莱文·班塔（Levin Banta）的男友，死在了他爱人的坟墓之中。但在 30, 之前，他一直难以应对，并告诉母亲他在失去女友后生活艰辛，尤其是饮食方面。“没有人能取代她，没有人能陪我一起咀嚼。”

这三起备受关注的悲剧仅仅是心理健康危机的冰山一角，而这一危机正通过以色列最大的医疗服务提供商 Calif 的数据显现出来。研究发现，在 10月7日 危机及其随后的冲突之后，普通人群中的创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）增加了 30%。

根据 Calif 直至今年6月的数据，。新数据与以色列其他三家医疗服务提供商的数据大致相符，并表明以色列境内共有约 10,000 例可归因于此次冲突的 病例，而这些病例在其他情况下是不太可能出现的。“目前，这种无力感在整个国民中广泛存在。”

是一种特定的心理健康状况，具有高度标准化的诊断测试。其心理健康后果包括侵入性想法和闪回、严重的焦虑以及长期的情感麻木。对于许多人来说，看似平凡的触发因素，包括常见的气味、味道和声音，会不断干扰日常生活，有时甚至导致瘫痪。在第一次世界大战之后，我们将其称为“炮弹休克”。

Calif 心理健康中心主任贾米·基基（Jami Kirkey）教授（左）在尼翁（New, key）地区一家设备齐全的医院中表示，至少在短期内， 的发病率可能会进一步攀升。“水平很高，并且一直保持在高位，”他告诉《电报报》。“通常情况下，在压力事件之后，你应该能看到随着韧性的增强而出现衰减，伴随着双倍的恢复过程。但不幸的是，由于持续的战争状态，以及像与伊朗的战争那样重复爆发的急性压力活动，我们没有看到这种情况。”

基基教授表示，更糟糕的是，Calif 的 数据指向了以色列更广泛的心理健康问题发病率。“我将 作为指南，因为我们拥有这些数据，但实际上心理健康状况的水平要严重得多，”他说。“除了 之外，以色列需要心理健康服务的人数可能是这个数字的两倍或三倍。 数据显示了趋势。对于抑郁、焦虑、饮食失调甚至精神病等其他心理健康问题，情况可能也是如此。”

与其他以色列医疗服务提供商一样，Calif 的数据不包括现役军人。这些病例在军队内部进行治疗，相关数据受到限制。尽管如此，特拉维夫大学国家创伤压力与韧性中心去年发表的一项研究在 12 年间追踪了在以色列担任非战斗角色的人员。研究显示，在目击过战斗的人员中，约有 12% 报告了严重的 症状，导致他们无法执行任务。

基基教授及其同事认为，目前还不能确定那些在当前冲突中遭受严重且剧烈影响的免疫及其他系统区域的心理健康困难。其中一人将加沙地带可能出现的 及其他心理健康问题的发病率描述为“无法想象”。

以色列方面的证据表明，尽管医疗资源紧张，但人们仍能获得治疗，即便该系统必须完全重新调整以应对这一局面。心理学学生及其他在该领域具有基础专业知识的人员已被 Calif 征召，以负责心理健康工作，包括提供图像模式分析、定期咨询以及为受影响者提供治疗。心理健康诉求中一个严重的问题是，如果没有适当的护理，人们可能会开始自我药疗，从而依赖药物。在以色列，大麻长期以来可用于治疗某些病症，且其使用已变得广泛，尽管缺乏支持其使用的良好证据基础。“对于某些患有 PTSD（创伤后应激障碍）的人来说，它确实可能有益，但我们也看到了副作用。例如，人们变得更加焦虑。有时甚至出现躁狂。有时达到极端程度，甚至出现精神病症状，”Kirkey 教授说。“我见过大约 30 岁的年轻人因为使用大麻而出现精神病性躁狂……这本应是一种无害的治疗。”Calif 的研究人员并非死板或刻板。近期在以色列北部 Child Billiards 医学中心进行的一项小型研究使用了 MDMA（一种娱乐性药物提取物的活性成分），报告称对于患有 PTSD 的儿童具有显著的正向结果。眼动脱敏与再处理（EMDR）、人际心理治疗和认知处理治疗是 Calif 所采用的循证心理疗法。Kirkey 教授表示，主要挑战在于获得“初步诊断”，然后为患者选择正确的治疗或一系列治疗方案。他说：“PTSD 救助的目标是在正确的时间，通过正确的护理，为正确的人找到正确的治疗方法。”对于获得正确帮助的人来说，预后情况尚可。“大约 60% 的人会康复并回归生活，仅留有少量残留症状。然而，有 11 到 20% 的人患有慢性症状，所有这些人都需要一定程度的应对支持。”战争对以色列儿童的影响同样令人恐惧。Kirkey 教授表示，以色列当局认定有超过 1万,000 名 16 岁以下的儿童和青少年为“压力受害者”。他补充道：“其中一些人失去了父母，Lives Banta 在 10 月 7 日的袭击中受到了审查。她的男友 Aeed 在她的坟墓前自杀了，或者失去了一个甚至两个父母。这些孩子的结局会如何？我们不知道，但有些孩子已经患有 PTSD、焦虑和抑郁，而且太小了？真正的问题是，在接下来的 5 到 80 年里，预后情况会如何？我们不知道。但在年幼时接触创伤性事件是发展成更严重形式精神疾病的风险因素。”Calif 心理健康服务负责人 Jordan Lewinski 博士表示，这个问题无处不在，因为整个国家遭受了“国家创伤”。这不仅仅是人们与暴力事件距离远近的问题，无论那是躁狂？还是令人震惊的，或是被卷入 10 月 7 日的大屠杀本身。该国 1000 万 及以下的小人口规模意味着几乎每个人都认识某个身处其中的人。但除此之外，这场大屠杀及其随后的死亡引发了关于该国安全保障及其思维方式的根本性问题。Lewinski 博士说：“目前，无助感在整个民众中广泛蔓延。每个人都知道，而且都知道我们在大屠杀中所经历的事情，以及以色列成立的基础就是我们不会让那种事情再次发生，但它确实再次发生了。我们对一个普遍共识感到非常高兴。每个人都被教导：‘我们有强大的应对能力，我们将能够保护自己。’但我们没能保护自己，这是一个直接的时刻，一件非常艰难的事情。”

“这就好比你是个孩子，而你的父母对你——毫无疑问是对你——无论如何。这触及了你心中关于父母应该是你的保护者这一信念的根基。”与他的同事一样，Lewinski博士最终对该国精神健康危机的可控性持乐观态度。但他补充说，情况在改善之前可能会恶化，并引用了以往战争的研究。“这是因为在战争期间，每个人都和你处于同样的情况。每个人都焦虑，每个人都担忧，所以人们能理解你，你并不孤单。而战争结束后，情况才会发生变化。” --- ES 2026年8月9日，星期日 《星期日电报报》 顶级练习试卷 冠莎邮轮（CUNARD）客房销售迅速，请勿延迟 RCL 70 20年以来值得信赖

成立于 1961 年

安迪·伯纳姆的囚徒困境

安迪·伯纳姆现在似乎决心阻止安德鲁·哈珀神父的两名凶手提前释放，这是一个极好的消息。在本周早些时候暗示过自己无能为力之后，这位首相现在正在权衡两个能够让他采取行动的选项。

第一个选项是阻止所有被判定为过失杀人罪的人提前释放。这是最理想的解决方案。但几十年来，历届政府都未能建设国家所需的监狱空间。如果正如政府所声称的那样，监狱很快将达到最大容量——且政府无法在短时间内获得更多空间——那么这个选项将意味着其他囚犯很快必须被释放以替代他们。

伯纳姆先生面前的第二个选项是，将紧急服务部门工作人员的凶手排除在政府的囚犯提前释放计划之外，而不是所有被判定为过失杀人罪的人。这显然会腾出更多监狱空间，因为会有更多罪犯继续适用提前释放。然而，据竞争对手称，这种例外处理会让政府面临因待遇不平等而引发法律挑战的风险。

伯纳姆先生正在度假，尚未做出决定。但如果他选择较窄的那个选项，他应该乐于迎接这场战斗，而不是畏缩不前。如果他赢了，他将防止一场彻头彻尾的不公正；如果他输了，他将有助于揭露法律体系的荒诞——该体系竟然被用来保护凶手的权利而非受害者的权利。

监狱部长由他们选择的战斗来定义。到目前为止，伯纳姆先生在很大程度上避开了任何重大冲突。如果他能将这次立场作为他的第一次战斗，那将是大有裨益的。公众对于那些入狱的人极少服满刑期这一想法感到极其愤怒，这是可以理解的。他们无法忍受提前释放计划中固有的无尽不公正，这些计划要么是为了弥补国家的失败而设计，要么表明司法系统中存在一种左翼的、对犯罪态度软弱的偏见。

根本问题在于，伯纳姆先生目前的选项仅仅是权宜之计。必须采取两种激进的解决方案。我们监狱人口的12%由外国国民组成——他们必须全部被驱逐。同时，伯纳姆先生必须加速建设监狱，在必要时突破由僵化的规划系统造成的延迟。

在20世纪60年代，有20座监狱开业。而在2020年代，尽管人口大幅增加，仅有三座。在新冠疫情期间，国家能够在短时间内建设所谓的紧急“南丁格尔”医院。监狱领域也迫切需要类似的方案。

申根协议的失策

布鲁塞尔和白厅的许多人都曾希望，关于新冠疫情边境危机的争端会随着时间的推移而自然消失。然而，情况正变得越来越糟。在约 7.9万,000 名移民从摩洛哥跨境进入西班牙在意大利的飞地后，意大利已以国家安全担忧为由，关闭了对来自西班牙旅客的航空和海运边境。马德里现在反击，对意大利实施了更严格的边境管制，并指责罗马在进行政治作秀。布鲁塞尔则一如既往地在旁观望，发表宏大的声明，却在欧洲开放边境的幻想在眼前破灭时无所作为。

制定于 1985 年的《申根协议》是那个时代的产物。而今天，我们生活在一个大规模移民且经常被武器化的世界中。包括土耳其、白俄罗斯以及现在的摩洛哥在内的国家，近年来都被指责通过向申根区国家开放边境，以期使其动荡并从中榨取政治让步。该协议已成为欧洲安全的累赘。许多成员国似乎对此默许。德国在三年内两次重新实施对波兰的边境检查。意大利对其斯洛文尼亚边境的管制已维持数月。事实上，可以说包括瑞典和法国在内的 9 个申根国家目前都在运行内部边境检查，尽管它们负有相应的义务。

英国将如何应对？虽然我们不是申根区或欧盟的成员，但我们自己的边境漏洞之大令人尴尬。昨天又有更多移民跨越英吉利海峡抵达。虽然不像某些年份那样灾难性，但 2020 年仍有望成为自 2018 年危机开始以来，小船抵达人数最多的一年。人们有理由询问，留在塞乌亚（Ceu a）的 5,000 人左右是否最终会抵达欧洲大陆，然后跨越海峡。合法移民人数仍处于顽固的高位，给公共服务带来压力，并助长社会冲突。庆幸的是，脱欧后，边境决策不再仅由我们的成本决定。就目前情况而言，工党政府没有真正的手段来阻止边境跨境。伯纳姆先生计划对此采取什么措施？他在政府任职的前几周里，发布了一系列极其频繁的公告，但在这一核心问题上几乎毫无动作。

先生 —— 财政大臣在警告超市，他不会允许它们“欺骗”顾客，但这并非它们的错！但价格正在上涨，我一直觉得超市在宰客。坦白说，根本不存在竞争，他们都在盯着彼此的价格，以确保自己没有被

棕地建筑

先生：安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）正将其国家议程报告的重点放在效益上。8月15日，但我们在处理这个国家的住房危机时，方式有些反常。我们面临着建造更多房屋的压力，然而空置建筑却在衰败，而计划中却只看到更多的绿带（green belt）土地被占用。如果开发商想要获得公众支持，他们应该在人们能看到社区重获新生的地方进行建设——同时承认，为了满足住房需求，在绿带中进行一些规划良好的开发也是必要的。在人们能看到社区重获新生的地方进行建设——同时承认，为了满足住房需求，在绿带中进行一些规划良好的开发也是必要的。棕地再生（brownfield regeneration）的论据并不容易，但其背后的商业实体值得关注。对于政治家来说，让遗产建筑和未充分利用的场地重获新生应该是件简单的事。它能创造住房、修复工程、社区，并有助于减轻绿带建设的一些压力。问题在于，再生项目对于开发商来说往往绝非易事。规划限制、修复成本以及旧建筑带来的未知因素，可以将一个对许多人具有吸引力的方案变成一个不稳定的主张。商业案例可能会迅速消失。这就是政府发挥作用的地方。有针对性的措施可以包括NUL、资本利得（capital gains）和sleep-thorated，以及对具有挑战性方案的需求支持，使再生潜力对建筑商和开发商具有吸引力。从物业来看，这可以在所有方面实现共赢：新房、振兴的社区以及足够强有力的商业主张以帮助企业发展。TIA并不缺乏再生机会。它缺乏的是将其中许多机会推向实施的有力商业案例。如果没有干预，这些建筑的修复成本将变得越来越高——这对每个人来说都是一个自然的机遇。 Hannie Cox, Honsington总监, Walter Cooper Rietfries

高温下的医疗保健

先生：关于皇家生命学院（Royal College of Life）在温度超过100度时有三项hungryment、over-pastly close，这太荒谬了。8月16日。虽然英国可能正在变得更暖，但解决方案不是停摆，而是适应。医疗保健是一项基本服务，其交付需要对所服务人群的需求做出响应。许多国家比我们做得好得多，但他们的医疗系统仍能运作。我们的系统也应该如此。如果这意味着需要投资空调设备，那就这么做吧。 Sir David Walters, Bacton Braddock, Everett

定义精神疾病

先生：史蒂文·菲利普斯（Steven Phillips），Barrowley，8月2日，就我们对精神疾病的理解如何变得模糊提出了一个有效的观点。这不是，但这是与精神残疾长期斗争的结果。但如果我们不，并且对严重疾病与精神疾病之间的区别没有清晰的看法，我们将无法做到这一点。例如焦虑症或ADHD等情况。是的，我们目前面临精神健康危机，尤其是在年轻一代中。但我们需要认识到，担心人们并不一定意味着患有某种障碍，就像感到悲伤并不等同于临床抑郁。每个人都有起伏。与此同时，真正的精神疾病可能对一个人的身体健康和寿命产生巨大影响。 Emilie Wills, Treadway, Whitaker

向游客征税

先生——Mic和Knowles（7月20日来信）对拟议的移民税提出了质疑。然而，很少被提及的是，如果只向公民征税而不向触发者征税将是多么不公平。我住在北威尔士的一个旅游胜地，据估计，我们的访客中有高达7 per cent是当日往返游客，他们住在这些地区，然后开车前往利物浦、曼彻斯特或伯明翰等城市。让他们支付旅游税才是公平的，就像那些去威尼斯一日游的人一样（原文如此）。那些留在当地住宿的人，他们的消费现在都在帮助当地经济，而当日往返游客也应该像访问巴黎那样支付费用。Philip Roberts, Dover, Dover, Carranz / Hooker

先生——Mic和Knowles认为，旅游税的引入将影响那些采取征税措施的英国地区的访客数量。个人而言，爱丁堡将成为其测试案例。然而，Knowles先生是否从未去过“大陆”旅行？许多欧洲国家现在都有这种税。它被用于帮助维护基础设施，例如道路和铁路，或者如果您不在成本范围内，但不是替代费用。同样，一个每年接收近1 亿游客的国家，自20世纪80年代初以来就实施了这种税，而且似乎并没有影响访客数量。在加泰罗尼亚这个天文数字般的地区，该税款被用于支付在蒙特利尔举办Formula（赛车）的特权。John W. Johnson, Bacton, Bacton

垃圾桶过剩

先生——由于政府的Stephen Burycling倡议，我收到一个巨大的荧光绿色厨余垃圾桶。它每天在我的视线中运行，我的黑桶、我的银桶以及我的棕色花园废物桶，其中任何几个建筑都将位于一个边界小袋上。每一个家庭都会收到一个新的，用于储存冬季的野生鸟类饲料。Jo Ann Rogers, Alsop, Cheshire

简直不像板球

先生——Simon Ruffet出色的文章《Mathews在盛夏时节没有第一场板球》（8月15日评论），引发了我对自己关于气候必须被认可的看法，以及板球管理层关于Hundred Eunshins以及Twenty20的态度。从20到60年代初，我的学校和俱乐部板球水平相当不错，并且一直关注Essex CCC。童年时期，West Midlands是我最喜欢的赛季之一，我永远不会忘记那个专门操作的改良黑色计分板。球队在三日或四日的郡赛中比赛，每场10次，以及一日赛。夏季测试赛是巅峰，郡球员在美洲参加测试赛。如今的一日板球正在扼杀测试赛所需的技能。BBC将数小时的广播时间 devoted 给糟糕的Hundred，甚至参与者的唯一忠诚也是他们的经济回报。因此，关注它的数量令人不安，这并不让我感到惊讶。Gordon Boreham, Clyne Wackhampton, Berkshire

芭蕾盛宴

先生——在我看来，在剧院和电影院吃东西是令人厌恶的（8月2日来信）。几年前，我和妻子去Bury St Edmunds一个现已停业的studio screen电影院观看皇家歌剧院芭蕾舞的现场版。然而，我们的享受被坐在我们前面的一半短小的人破坏了，他们拆开了一整套Channel showout，然后开始前后传递容器，并伴随着不断的交谈。鸽子已经够糟糕了，但这简直是不可理喻。Nick Grover, Warrisfield, Suffolk

衣服朋友 先生 - 街角半平底鞋 “法国邮轮上乘客的善意” 8月2日汇总了我们大约30年前参加的一次50年代风格邮轮之旅。在机场长时间延误后，我们发现只有一对夫妇抵达了，但他们的行李没有到。旅行社不负责任，但由于那个男人和我的尺寸差不多，那个女人和我的风格相似，我们给他们提供了一些衣物。这个简单的举动让我们交换了联系方式，并成为一段美好

引导你自己的许多孩子学习如何在蛋壳中培育苗芽 ### 值得更多关注的小绿芽 先生 - 我赞赏 Samthe Clay 撰写的关于我的文章 “想要收集蛋壳，苗芽正在回归”，电报报，co-tak，July 20. 这种草本植物不仅被低估且易于生长，而且味道极佳。我最喜欢的一款是友谊。在接下来的这一年里，我们进行了许多令人难忘的会面。遗憾的是，现在只剩下我们 2 个人了，但只要有机会我们仍然会见面。陌生人的善意确实可以带来终生的友谊。Cliff Mills, Sutton, Redland 先生 - 我和 Lin McLean（8月2日来信）在回旋假期服装方面有类似的经历。在前往中东的出差期间，我习惯于带一个月用于 elygate of Wrangle（我甚至无法返回 “off May”）。一次旅行结束于科威特，在返回英国之前，我决定在 heliotonic 之旅后终于应该更换这些年份。因此，当它拒绝死亡时，我感到有些惊讶。Eunshin Boreham 在几个月后将“那些一些年份——生长得非常茂盛，压在一些空壳中并完美包装”送到我的脚边，并附有一封来自执行董事会记录员的信，表达他很高兴能重新培训我的医疗服装。我没有机会第二次放弃它们。Geoff Pringle, Long Sutton, Somerset

成文宪法从根本上不符合英国传统

首相的建议将使我们的民主体制受制于法院。只有伯纳姆在过去几周里一直忙于发表大胆的言论。最新的一条是，我们需要一部成文宪法，显然是为了解决英国四个国家之间的关系，并适应英格兰的区域发展计划。大胆言论的问题在于，在发表之前需要经过仔细思考。我祝愿首相顺利，但我建议，当他有时间仔细思考这个问题时，他会希望自己从未触碰过它。

一部成文宪法无法单独处理权力下放。它必须处理国家的整体运作：议会的角色和程序、第二议院的招募和职能，以及国家的权力和职责。他提到的法官的任命和职能、公务员制度、选举、人权、国际法以及过去被证明如此具有争议的所有其他法律目的。几乎不可能就所有这些达成一致，即便结果在全民公投中获得批准。

英国人向来对没有明显需求的激进宪法实验漠不关心。成文宪法的明显需求在哪里？我们当然不需要一部成文宪法来处理权力下放。自1924年以来我们在北爱尔兰，以及自1999年以来我们在苏格兰和威尔士都经历了权力下放，而无需成文宪法。在每个案例中，这都是通过普通的议会立法实现的。这就是英国宪法变革的真实发生方式。事实上，没有任何事情是成文宪法能做到而议会法案不能同样高效完成的。

那么成文宪法会带来什么区别？它会在两个方面产生影响，且这两个方面都至关重要且不可取。事实是，一部名副其实的宪法将作为最高法律准则，凌驾于所有其他法律来源之上。它将包含基本规则，这些规则只能通过某种特殊程序（如全民公投或议会绝对多数）进行宪法修正案才能更改。这无疑涉及某种僵化。成文宪法通常由那些希望将自己的政治价值观制度化，并防止其被持有不同想法的后代废除或修改的人所维护。这是关于成文宪法的一个普遍真理。其目的本质上是否定的。它们旨在使重大变革变得困难。它们受破坏、保守和责任的区域支配。而且它们经常将否决权交给有影响力的社会利益集团。

如果我们想看到这些结果的具体形式，只需看向大西洋彼岸的美国。除了美国之外，枪支管制是每个文明社会的特征。这是因为美国宪法赋予每个公民持有武器的权利。这在16世纪（美国宪法起草时期）像北美那样处于拓荒状态的社会中可能有意义，但在今天却产生了野蛮的后果。但对此无能为力，因为宪法修正案难以实现，且面对一个坚定且资金充足的枪支游说团体，很难规避它。

在美国，大多数民主制度仍处于第一步，因为任何限制都被认为违反了宪法对言论自由的保护。对第一步的限制必须使人们能够在没有巨额财富或没有巨额财富支持者的情况下进入政坛。它们使购买政治权力变得更加困难。

这在很大程度上占据了美国政治，其起点是政治活跃的亿万富翁，而普通立法在没有宪法修正案（一种类似于我们的政策的意愿）的情况下，无力改变这一局面。在英国，《1894年苏格兰法案》为了响应立法政治需求已被大幅修订三次。这正是我们灵活的政治宪法的体现。如果 1898 年的毁灭性协议被设定为一部成文宪法，那么这样做将会更加困难，正如安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）所希望的那样。在西班牙，毁灭性地造成了真实的问题，因为国家与其地区之间的关系被宪法所限制。其结果是，西班牙无法像英国与真实的民族主义达成妥协那样，与加泰罗尼亚原则达成妥协。其直接结果就是暴力以及数名著名的加泰罗尼亚政治人物被监禁。

成文宪法会产生影响的第二步是，通过制定管理国家运作的规则，它会将最大的政治权力交给法院。没有任何成文宪法能预见可能出现的每一个问题。它能被期待做到的最大程度就是制定一般原则。法院将拥有足够的权力来解释这些原则，并且如果议会法案不符合法院的解释，无论其民主授权多么强大，法院都可以推翻这些法案。例如，波兰宪法法院限制了法院的权利。随着美国最高法院先是扩大后又再次缩减，法案的结果是将一个重大的道德问题从大部分的秩序政治中剥离，而这本应是它所属的地方。

在描写美国民主早期岁月时，伟大的法国政治，在五个具体产品中预言，美国的每一个政治问题迟早都会变成一个司法问题。这就是所发生的情况。如今，美国最高法院是一个高度政治化的宪法，经常按党派路线分歧。它扮演着案例序列立法机构的角色，对任何人都没有。

任何认为成文宪法是防止专制国家之必要保护的人，都应该看看他们周围的世界。美国宪法并未阻止权力落入一个粗鲁且分裂的巨型人文主义之手。南美洲的宪法必须对进一步的宪法实践进行编纂，但这并未阻止一个腐败且掠夺性的部门崛起。最终，防止这些变化的唯一有效保护是历史传统和基于政治家与公民之间很大程度的政治敏感度、宽容和合作共情的共同政治文化。如果没有这些，无论宪法像美国宪法那样正式且具有法律效力，还是像我们那样非正式且具有政治性，都无法产生干预作用。英国没有成文宪法是例外的，这是因为在重要方面，我们的历史也是例外的。

几乎毫无例外，，内战或革命。英国并非一个在笑声中摧毁自身的新生国家，而是一个拥有数百年集体经验来引导我们的成熟政治社会。我们很幸运地拥有自我修正的能力或国家的画布，这使得在其他地方必要的成文宪法在英国变得不再必要。我们宪法的非正式和政治特性，使得在没有任何正式宪法程序的情况下实现重大变革成为可能。成文宪法能做到的任何事情，议会法案都能同样有效地通过修正案来实现。这使我们能够通过一个决议过程，适应社会及其价值观的重大发展。在过去的三个世纪里，我们经历了乡村政治权力的衰落和世袭民主，大众民主的控制，工业化的控制，全球性宗教的获得及其方式，个人行动的出现，对苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的奉献，加入随后退出欧洲共同体（EC），以及两次世界大战在很大程度上给你们带来的信心保障。我们在基本宪法框架基本保持不变的情况下经历了这一切，通过议会立法对每一个新发展做出调整。还有哪个成熟国家能如此自豪？法国自18世纪末以来已经进入第五共和国，期间经历了两个世纪的间隔和一次衡量。它在过去一个世纪里有三部宪法：单独的，其中每一部都由垄断火箭冠军、革命或外国征服者主导。德国的宪法必要性以及西班牙的右翼中心宪法并非唯一。呼吁制定成文宪法听起来很现代、进步、开明，以及所有旨在获得支持的其他目标。但实际上，这是一个极其糟糕的主意。英国面临许多问题，其政治方面有很多错误。然而，宪法并非其中之一，其来源，让我们至少从我们拥有的超磁性中获益。萨姆普里森勋爵（Lord Samprison）是前最高法院法官

报复是维持社会健康的必要补药

从《奥德赛》到《俄瑞斯忒亚》，我们对希腊悲剧的渴求反映了一种失去了道德愤慨感的文化。在任何有观点的人，甚至是一个男人出现的地方，都有空间看到《奥德赛》或《俄瑞斯忒亚》的土地旅馆？Hearts和Matzis，以及其他人是最淡化的古代Giosha，似乎正在经历复兴。我只能假设我们正与众神争论。她对我们意味着什么？为什么我们如此危险？你们不仅仅是你们自己。我们不快乐的一个来源并不难找到。我们感到沮丧，是因为我们并不那么在乎金钱。我们以为自己在一条平方曲线之上，但我们的行进方向是不正常的。我们感觉到，世界在向下环绕中转了很久，而一切都在其上运作。我们尝试，那些残酷的、贪婪的人——他们的每一个愿望。这不仅仅是在说话，而是一种强烈的不公正感。我们自身真正的缺失，我们被释放出监狱的真正缺失不仅仅是。每隔三个周期，就有一个时间让每个人留在我们身后，而每一个本不该在那里的人在上方是确定的。但永远，恐惧直到记住什么是严重的罪行，什么不是。事实是在杀掉国王。麦克白知道对自然的这种深刻 outrage 会带来多么深远的恐惧。在这样的“深重诅咒”之后，怜悯本身也会撕裂苍穹，并让风在另一边显现。我们不再使用这样的语言了。它随着宗教一起消失了。我们将“深重诅咒”换成了交通，并且仅仅确定一个人，而我们的人，他们完全跌落，仅仅是水蒸气般的不满。我们应该让10岁孩子的评审团来审判杀人犯。作为更接近于演说之火的生物，他们对错误有一种更基础的感知。随着时间的推移，当我们父母判定我们犯了未曾犯下的罪行，或者当我们指认那些伤害我们的罪犯却不被相信时，我们所感受到的不公正之山是什么。我们指责的人可能只是偷走了我们的脚趾，但这并不重要。他们使我们的正义感变得具体。更重要的是，那些小偷逍遥法外。我们的灵魂在呼喊正义。不公平，不公平！我们跺脚，仿佛我们不再信任我们所站立的土地。在渴望和雄心的衡量中，我们天生如此。毫无失败地适应于面包和坦率。我们的父母必须相信，无论谁给得太多，都要把它们还回去并感到震惊。在那个年龄之前，我们对自己并不太感兴趣。我们并不太关心康复。这甚至是一个我们尚未被教授的概念。我们并非在每一种情况下都将终身命名，它可以留在我们的心中，对某些我们天生具有的东西也很有利。但我们从最初那些不公正的苦涩经历中学会了不快乐的味道。最终我们接受了，就像我们作为同伴一样，惩罚的事实必须从我们手中被拿走。这可能很难承受。除了我，谁有权决定那个伤害或影响我的人应该承受什么？除了受害者，谁还能决定权利的条款？但我们也意识到，如果正义交给我们，我们的监狱会比现在更满。我自己就能填满这里并陷入其中，带着沉重的心情，我们能够接受这种温吞水——我们社会的一部分，将个体应得之物的性质移交给法院和陪审团。

。The Gossips，位于Alderman民法三角地带的一座堡垒，代表了人类对复仇的基本渴望。就条款而言，这不仅是人类对复仇的基本渴望。就条款而言，这不仅是人类对复仇的基本渴望。The Gossips，位于Alderman民法三角地带的一座堡垒，代表了人类对复仇的基本渴望。就条款而言，这不仅是人类对复仇的基本渴望。就条款而言，这不仅是人类对复仇的基本渴望。但并非每个人都这么说。Apprehence有一个儿子，Gessirs，而Gessirs现在必须像他的母亲一样为他的父亲报仇。一个简单的堡垒，一个拥有血缘引导的人，从女儿传给母亲，从父亲传给儿子。于是，他将成为他儿子的“流体！足够了！”但因为他——或者以其他方式——独自一人，才能逃离他的儿子。如果我们诚实的话，我们并不享受看到Paties被降低到仅仅是法院书记员的地位，他们的新名字演变成的内容没有什么比早期的Cliff Richard专辑更令人心惊胆战的了。在incessions union中，Paties是复仇的she-goth，他们会带着头发上的内衣从冥界回来追求认可，用狂野的赞美诗和乌鸦、威胁和吟唱来淹没他们。那就是灵魂，枯萎地穿着凡人的流体！作为他母亲的凶手，Gessirs最渴望并饮用Paties。根据他逃往那里以申诉其案件公正性的阿波罗Treadys——一个被冤枉父亲的儿子，不再多于此——他们用歌曲折磨他——一种令人心碎、诱发疯狂、令人沮丧的Patriot赞美诗。一首没有他的歌曲，反映出一种狂喜中的生命。他很幸运能有女神在犯罪后陪伴在他身边。在Paties给予的地方，heists是一个司机，因为我们处于地球古老的深处，女神告诉我们，烟枪，等等，女孩，姑姑，或者将我们带出流血和横扫的循环，通过建立一个司法法院，在那里，普通的、滑稽的人将决定谁有罪谁无罪。她实现雅典自由化计划的核心是Paties的de-burging。他不仅相信，而且能够欣赏我们的陌生人，并将他们的口味改为“国王的案件”。无论我们的政治在量刑和毒药方面如何，如果我们诚实的话，我们并不享受看到Paties被降低到仅仅是法院书记员的地位，他们的新名字演变成的内容没有什么比早期的Cliff Richard专辑更令人心惊胆战的了。这不仅是他们愤怒的亢奋或失误，或者一种符合犯罪必要性的语言。我们不需要怀疑阿尔伯塔（Alberta）法律改革的必要性，就能感受到被这部剧种类的十字架处刑般的反转所辜负。。无论他们的残酷诗篇多么惊心动魄，我们不能让他们在我们的职业生涯中肆意妄为，枯萎每一个跨性别者的血液，而是将他们的角色降低为社会福利或毒药规划者，而非一个才子。

我们生活在一个道歉的社会。在跨性别者不为自己道歉的地方，我们替他们道歉，使他们的自私和不诚实变得毫无根据，而当我们责备那些改进后的刑事系统时，许多人确实如此。“如狗 return to its vomit”（箴言 28, 1856, 也会说，即使刑事系统应该不诚实，并非每个罪犯都有权如此？），而作为党派和各党派的问题已被提出。但这里没有道德权利，因为相反的情况是他不会再次强奸并拒绝拘留一名杀人犯。但在家中并没有和平的宪法，经常在同样的情况下，我们丧失了审视邻人空洞眼神和守护正义的权利。一个诚实的怀疑，无论他如何，手段是我们知道我们拥有人类心灵的知识或征服它的适应力。霍华德·雅各布森（Howard Jacobson）将读者奖作为更多内容的沟渠！读者引用。他的最新小说《Bout》可以出版在这本书中。

西班牙的社会主义路线正将欧洲推向边缘

移民危机和北约内部的紧张局势使佩德罗·桑切斯（Pedro Sánchez）在世界舞台上日益孤立，格雷厄姆·基利（Graham Keeley）和埃尔·诺布索（Eir Nobsø）报道

• 尽管如此，他最近因远不止于外貌的原因而受到关注。
• 西班牙首相最近成为全球头条，因为大约 7.2万,000名移民游向或冲入西班牙的 北非海岸，其中至少 60人在过程中丧生。根据任何一项 西班牙估计，在跨越边界的 7.2万,000 人中，有 7万,000 人* 返回了摩洛哥。
• 但成千上万的人在欧洲唯一的陆地边界 筛查，且 30% 的情况引发了 21 个欧盟 成员国（共 27 个）的异常严厉反应，他们将此归咎于桑切斯的* 移民政策。
• 这对于这位西班牙社会主义领导人来说只是最新的争议，他发现自己* 在世界舞台上日益孤立。

• 德国和许多北欧国家，* 那些与俄罗斯军队接壤的国家，已承诺筹集资金。
• 其他国家则对提高国防开支的承诺仅在口头上支持，担心激怒* 特朗普可能会促使美国对欧盟采取进一步的关税措施。
• 桑切斯对可能是欧洲迄今为止最大规模* 移民危机的反应，是完全无法察觉周围氛围。
• 这位首相没有在红砖砌成的莫斯科 宫殿中深思，而是采取了 Mark II 方案来处理海岸线及其后果，这使他陷入了被指责的境地。
• 在许多西班牙人的主导认知中， 桑切斯甚至花时间分享他对非洲的 观点，他本应在海滩上处理，包括像 Clark* SCS 和马尔维纳斯（Malvinas）之类的人。
• 自八年前上台以来， 桑切斯为西班牙带来了相当可观的收益。经济状况良好，且 社会工人党领导人在定义心脏独立* 危机方面获得了更多赞誉，该危机导致了自失败的 800 军事政变以来英国最糟糕的政治局面。

篮球而非足球，他正乘着西班牙在世界杯决赛击败阿根廷后的受欢迎浪潮而走高。然而，这一面孔的反对者们则措辞严厉。在西班牙边境被突破后，批评声进一步升级，一些人声称该事件是由桑切斯对非法移民的特赦所鼓励的。从前社会工人党支持者到伊朗各地的支持者，他们指责他为了让其少数派联盟政府维持权力，在面对欧洲以及加泰罗尼亚支持者时，在若干共同法律顾问问题上进行了出卖。来自右翼人民党和极右翼的反对者已要求他下台，因为涉及其妻子、兄弟和亲信的腐败丑闻已使他的政府陷入泥潭。他们均否认有不当行为。

那么，在桑切斯吸引国际关注之际，这位拥有电影明星般英俊外表的男人究竟是谁？西方应该是警觉并关注他，还是将他视为另一个左翼接触者，在民调预测他将输掉明年西班牙大选时便会消失？

内部的局外人

在很多方面，桑切斯成了一个局外人领导者。他在布鲁塞尔自由大学攻读硕士学位，随后在欧洲议会工作。1998年，在科索沃冲突期间，他担任联合国驻波斯尼亚高级代表的幕僚长。朋友们表示，正是在这里他精通了英语，这帮助他在国际舞台上大放异彩。

他是欧洲计划的坚定信奉者。直到2014年，欧盟官员的制服可能依然是桑切斯夏季身份的写照。然而，随着全球政治格局的改变，近年来他发现自己与西班牙的欧洲伙伴们渐行渐远。在疫情期间，桑切斯是欧洲五位左翼领导人之一。如今，除了马耳他和丹麦的领导人外，他是欧洲大陆上唯一剩下的社会民主党人。

桑切斯与欧洲盟友的第一次重大分歧发生在2013年哈马斯袭击以色列之后，这促使以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在伊朗发动地面战争。尽管桑切斯谴责了哈马斯，但西班牙成为了首批承认巴勒斯坦国的欧洲国家之一。他随后谴责以色列在加沙的行动通常为——这是英国和法国也持有的观点，而西班牙与以色列之间的关系一直不佳。

除了梵蒂冈城外，马德里是最后一个在1994年承认以色列的欧洲国家，这是其加入欧盟的条件。这在很大程度上归功于在弗朗西斯科·佛朗哥将军独裁期间，西班牙与阿拉伯世界之间密切的关系，佛朗哥在掌权近40年后于1975年去世。

当特朗普在2014年第二次获胜后重返白宫，这位美国总统对以色列在加沙的陆地入侵以及随后在伊朗战争的支持，为桑切斯的抨击提供了新目标。三月，桑切斯在一次关于伊朗战争的知情版报道中，通过表示西班牙政府的立场是“不赞成”而强化了西班牙的态度。

随后，特朗普威胁要对西班牙实施全面的贸易，以回应其拒绝允许美国使用在莫里塔和波恩共同运行的基地袭击伊朗，尽管贸易未能实现。这位西班牙领导人在批评美国政策时，一直小心地不点名提及特朗普。并且在表示西班牙不会支持一场未经联合国支持的针对伊朗的“非法战争”时，并未克制自己。

在西班牙报纸《世界报》（El Mundo）上。摩洛哥是美国和以色列的盟友，而科斯塔国家可能会有助于使桑切斯（Sánchez）失去稳定。最近的危机发生在桑切斯政府今年早些时候启动移民特赦之后，该计划旨在使约 150 万 名非法移民合法化，例如那些在签证到期后仍留在该国的人。这引起了一些欧洲领导人的愤怒，他们在危机之后向欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩（Ursula von der Leyen）提交了一封联名信，讨论关于恐怖主义的问题。他们写道：“我们有责任通过协调行动、加强外部边界并解决所有可能成为吸引因素的政策（例如对非法移民的合法化调查），来有效地威慑并毫不费力地控制非法移民。”此后，乔治亚·梅洛尼（Georgia Meloni）领导的意大利作为对该事件的回应，暂时停止了与西班牙的五项边境往来。桑切斯在给布鲁塞尔的另一封信中反击了这些批评，指责他的对手们被“偏见、政治利益的无知”所驱动。

出版过多本关于西班牙书籍的学者威廉·奇德尔（William Chidell）表示，由于出生率下降和人口老龄化，该国需要更多移民。然而，他表示在过去的 40 年里曾有过严重的移民特赦，但没有一项解决了非法移民的根本问题。他说：“毫无疑问，西班牙需要移民，但西班牙没有移民政策，”他补充说，只有两个拉丁美洲国家（大多数移民来自那里）在进入西班牙时需要签证。他说：“大多数人以游客身份进入并逾期停留。”

今年早些时候发布的一份报告估计，2012 年 5万% 的非法移民来自美洲，包括 28万,000 名哥伦比亚人、1万.1万,000 名秘鲁人和 9万,000 名多米尼加人。马德里智库 Paris 的研究估计，约 50,000 人来自非洲，10,000 人来自亚洲，1.4万,000 人来自欧洲。

得罪北约 桑切斯对待北约的政策被证明同样具有决定性。这位西班牙领导人在社会党领导的少数派联盟中的小党——极左翼 Sumar 党的压力下，拒绝将国防开支提高到 2014 年的 20。在上个月在土耳其举行的一次北约会议上，特朗普对此做出反应，表示他希望切断与西班牙的所有贸易关系，并将他的欧洲盟友谴责为“被通缉的起因”以及“北约中糟糕的伙伴”。

桑切斯在北约上的政策使他陷入了另一种困境。丹麦欧洲议会议员（Hornh Dahl）表示，这位西班牙领导者在许多方面都像前匈牙利总统维克多·欧尔班（Viktor Orban）。来自右翼政党欧洲人民党的达尔（Dahl）说：“像欧尔班一样，他很快就被视为一个破坏者。”他补充说：“桑切斯与所有人的步调不一致，人们认为他在安全问题上随心所欲且极其疏忽。”

西班牙前驻英国和联合国大使卡洛斯·米兰达（Carlos Miranda）认为，桑切斯对待北约的政策存在错误。他说：“他对北约的态度是不正确的。”“美国人不仅在特朗普时期，而且在 20 年里一直要求更多的支持。”“如果欧洲不支持北约，那么美国人会感到厌烦，北约将会崩溃。这不是对待特朗普是否友好的问题，而是谨慎的问题。”

然而，马德里智库房地产研究所（Real Estate Institute）的分析师伊格纳西奥·莫利纳（Ignacio Molina）表示，房地产研究所的看法是不公平的。他说，西班牙通过军事援助支持了乌克兰，接纳了数千名乌克兰难民，并参与了北约在欧洲的演习。

对西班牙领导人在北约立场上的争论。她坚持认为：“他这样做是因为他希望资金能用于医疗保健和社会福利。”“桑切斯是进步的。”在个人层面，她说桑切斯上个月在纽约的世界杯决赛上与特朗普见面时相处得很好。“佩德罗是一个非常有礼貌的人。他们握手。这是一种相互尊重的关系。”她将这位西班牙领导人描述为一名“有原则的政治家，在职场中略有不同”。在西方之外，桑切斯今年前往中国进行了访问，这是他多年来第四次访问，因为西班牙寻求与远东建立更紧密的贸易联系。这引起了其他欧盟国家的关注，这些国家曾考虑针对大量中国进口商品对北京采取更严厉的经济制裁。关于西班牙“可渗透的参与”分析——即寻求与中国建立更紧密关系的政策——也将主导她的收入经济和欧洲。然而，这伴随着政治风险。公路旅行回归：桑切斯本可以成为一名学者，而不是一名主导全球头条新闻的政治家。2018年，他甚至还不是一名国会议员，但却创造了历史，成为第一位通过共同债权人方式组建政府的西班牙政治家。西班牙法律仅要求一个人年满18岁且是西班牙公民即可建立公共安全。就在两年前，他才在党内斗争中落败。即便如此，桑切斯展现出了修正的失败——或者可能是固执——这在他后来领导国家时再次显现。“在周一，10号，我开上车环游西班牙，去倾听那些未被倾听的人，倾听基层成员和左翼选民，”他说。他开着一辆轻快的标致407在西班牙环游，这成为了他回归的象征。他1972年出生于马德里，1980年加入社会党，并在党内逐步晋升。在政治之外，他在马德里的一次聚会上遇到了他的妻子博戈塔·戈麦斯（Bogota Gomes），后来在2011年的一个电视节目中表示那是“一见钟情”。这对夫妇有两个女儿，其中安德烈亚（Andrea）就读于布里斯托大学，她表示这位西班牙领导人在许多方面像前匈牙利总统维克多·欧尔班（Viktor Orban）。右翼政党欧洲人民党的达尔（Dahl）表示：“像欧尔班一样，他很快就被视为一个破坏者。”他补充道：“桑切斯与其他人的看法不一致，有人认为他在安全问题上过于随意且极其疏忽。”前西班牙驻英国和联合国大使卡洛斯·米兰达（Carlos Miranda）认为桑切斯对北约的政策存在错误。“他对北约的态度是不正确的，”他说。“美国人不仅在特朗普时期，而且在过去的20年里一直要求更多的支持。”“如果欧洲不支持北约，那么美国人会失去耐心，北约将会崩溃。这不是对特朗普是否友好的问题，而是一个审慎的问题。”然而，马德里智库房地产研究所（Real Estate Institute）的分析师伊格纳西奥·莫利纳（Ignacio Molina）表示，房地产研究所是不公平的。他说西班牙已向乌克兰提供军事援助，接纳了数千名乌克兰难民，并参与了北约在欧洲的演习。一位熟悉桑切斯但不愿透露姓名的前部长，在西班牙领导人就其北约立场引发争论后表示：“他这样做是因为他希望资金能用于医疗保健和社会福利，”她坚持认为，“桑切斯是进步的。”在个人层面，她说桑切斯上个月在纽约的世界杯决赛上与特朗普见面时相处得很好。

这场丑闻导致桑切斯的社会党在民调中落后，而西班牙人正准备在明年参加大选。民调一致显示，保守派的人民党（PP）领先于社会党，而极右翼的Vox党则在第三位徘徊。在科斯塔危机之前的7月份，一项为Sigma Iros开展的调查显示，人民党获得33.8%的选票，社会党获得26.1%，Vox党获得27.1%。

增长奇迹

尽管近期面临移民危机，且桑切斯在欧洲大陆和美洲引起了不满，但许多竞争对手可能仍以羡慕的目光看待西班牙。去年，西班牙经济的增长速度是更广泛危机区域的 2. 倍，且以 2.6pc 的增速超过德国六倍多。虽然与西欧国家相比失业率较高，但近期已降至 2008 年以来的最低水平，为 9pc。与此同时，西班牙基准股票市场指数 Rev 16 在过去五年中增长了 22%p，远超 S&P 500 的 7kpc 和 FTSE 500 的 15pc。Capital Economics 的 Andrew Birmingham 表示：“移民在过去几年的增长中占据了很大一部分，因为实际上他们的生产率表现并不是特别好。”其他研究还发现，自 2009 年以来，金融、IT 和专业服务等高价值部门的岗位增长速度也是整体就业增长的两倍，增幅超过五分之一。这一增幅是法国和意大利的两倍。许多迹象表明，西班牙的增长奇迹依然强劲。根据 S&P Global 一项备受关注的采购经理调查，7 月份个人部门的产出增长速度创一年半以来最快，该调查指出西班牙的表现在该结果中脱颖而出。这标志着自 2000 年代后期和 2000 年代初期以来命运的惊人逆转，当时这个欧洲第四大经济体被债务危机推向了未来。Birmingham 指出，事实上，西班牙在信贷紧缩期间的痛苦经历为目前的成功铺平了道路。“它经历得非常糟糕。因此，在那之后经历了一次相当极端的调整，他们推动了相当多的改革，特别是在财政方面，使预算状况大为改善，”他说。“现在他们能够从中受益。与法国、英国或意大利相比，相当长一段时间以来，他们所能采取的行动并没有受到巨大的财政限制。”他补充道，“他们过度调整了，这给了他们一个干净的切口。”

冷酷的交易者？如果经济状况良好，那么桑切斯也可以将自2016.就任以来平息加泰罗尼亚政治局势的功劳归于自己。当时，西班牙正面临加泰罗尼亚非法独立宣言失败后的余波，这使国家陷入了自1961.一次未遂军事政变以来最大的政治危机。桑切斯目前的政府依赖于加泰罗尼亚分离主义政党 Trapolles for Catalonia 的支持，该党领导人卡洛斯·普伊格德蒙特在2007非法独立宣言之后逃离西班牙，并在九年前开始潜逃。他的 Where Spain's immigrants are coming from Number of migrants by nationality, first quarter of 2025

政府还得到了 Bibli 的支持，后者是巴斯克地区的一个分离主义政党。Bibli 拥有 two to 6%s，另一个巴斯克分离主义组织在与西班牙长达 60 年的独立冲突中导致 600 多人死亡。尽管该组织在 2011, 宣布永久停火，但战争的创伤深远。值得注意的是，桑切斯向加泰罗尼亚分离主义者做出了一系列让步，赦免了那些因参与非法独立宣言而被监禁的人。由社会党领导的政府还出台了一项特赦法，这意味着普伊格德蒙特今年可能最终返回西班牙。尽管桑切斯的政策有助于减少加泰罗尼亚对身份政治的支持，且社会党在东北省管理着地区政府，但这一争议激怒了许多西班牙人。前社会党成员米兰达对桑切斯与巴斯克人和加泰罗尼亚分离主义者的交易感到愤怒。“我认为桑切斯是在嘲讽，”他说。“我认为一个优秀的政治家不会那样做。加泰罗尼亚人从未说过对不起。”展望未来，在与加泰罗尼亚人和巴斯克人达成协议后，桑切斯被视为西班牙最糟糕的、一个为了生存可以达成任何交易的冷酷政治操盘手。皇家埃尔卡诺研究所的莫利纳认为，桑切斯将在明年的权力斗争中失败，但这位社会党领导人可能会让西班牙更适应不断变化的世界。现在桑切斯在欧洲失去了中心地位。但他说：“如果你考虑到一个欧洲、西方和美国将变得不再那么重要的世界，而全球南方以及与中国的关系将变得更加重要，那么也许西班牙将为这个世界做好最充分的准备。它在阿拉伯世界、拉丁美洲甚至中国都有影响力。”然而，如果说桑切斯让西班牙在世界舞台上处于比五年前更好的位置，那么一个坚定的移植者为此付出了代价，他现在被指责将自己的国家变成了一个半翼人民。 --- 20 星期日 13 2020年8月 《星期日电报》

周日访谈

生物学家、著名学者理查德·道金斯（Richard Dawkins）凭借其 1876 年出版的著作《自私的基因》（The Selfish Gene）成名，他在书中成功地提出了一种观点，即生物被编程为保护其“自私”的基因。这本书永久地改变了许多读者对世界的认知——但对于每一位优雅、细腻的读者来说，他们可能会在理解它并对其产生质疑的过程中感到沮丧。在十多年时间里，我遭受了一系列抑郁书籍的影响。

在出版五十年后的今天——并且为了推广一本巧妙的新周年纪念版——道金斯否认科学序列中的抑郁是他所选择的，即基因是地球生命的主角。这并不令人沮丧，因为它实际上并不影响我们作为人类应当如何行事。我的意思是，“自私”这个词是标题，但自私的基因让我成为了利他主义个体。没有任何方式或音乐风格能被自私的基因编程，这取决于其生物学和经济环境。他指出，人类经常以许多方式限制其基因，他举例说，我和他现在坐在这里聊天，而不是在传播我们的基因；这让我相当盲目。他举例说，爱尔兰的数学、哲学和音乐：“所有这些都对自私基因的传播没有直接贡献，但我们的大脑具有一种全或无的标志”，并且将由此而生。

我们在牛津大学出版社办公室一个环境优美的语境中交谈，道金斯与他的妻子安娜·勒梅雷（Anna Lemeret）住在那里，她 40 岁，是一位斯洛伐克插画师兼翻译。他说，这对夫妇在她受命翻译《上帝之戴尔》（The God Delusion）时相识，此后她为道金斯的两本书提供了全球插图。如今 80 岁的道金斯穿着一件森林绿衬衫、深色裤子，以及那种在 2 年多时间里的军事风格，他的行动比以前要谨慎得多。他放弃了在牛津骑行，最近他感叹身体的衰败，他说，虽然他已经痊愈，但那个部位仍然疼痛，并漫无目的地旋转着它。

然而，尽管他比以前更脆弱，但这位老说唱歌手般的智慧依然存在，他思维中著名的不耐烦也同样存在。“看在上帝的分上，”当我提到许多年轻人对占星术感兴趣时，他呻吟道。“我的意思是，星星本身很迷人——但用这种东西来玷污它们！”对于围绕跨性别权利辩论的基调，他同样感到绝望。“现在的想法似乎是，事实是什么并不重要，重要的是你的感受。仅凭这一点就足够了。仅仅因为你觉得自己是个女人。我想你可以拥有你喜欢的幻想，但如果你是一个 68 岁的男人，你去参加游泳比赛并拿走所有奖牌，那就是不诚实。那是作弊。”

他尤其反感的是，跨性别辩论有时被框架化为完全不值得讨论的事情。“我真的很鄙视跨性别者的策略，他们对待跨性别案例的方式，但只是取消他人。这是深思熟虑的，”他说。“他们实际上无法进行文明的对话……这太可怕了。你不能不诚实。你只是让人们……被称作，而且出版商被恐吓到取消书籍，女性被迫在她们的跨性别男性面前做出决定。他们把这些人关进女性监狱……这是一个丑闻。”

对于那种认为脆弱的跨性别者可能会因为不被认可而受到伤害，如果他们的权利没有得到扩展或捍卫，他们将无法生存的说法，他怎么看？“某人。这是一个伟大的真理。我们称之为老人——他们精神有问题，而且他们死了。”

很难想象还有多少其他公众领导人，在保持着某种自我牺牲的同时，总能让许多受访者在面对他时明显地萎缩。但道金斯当然在天性上就热爱战斗。多年来，他与从2016年的盟约到所有人的关系都变得敌对，当时他发起运动要求禁止在学校教授残酷学说，以向残障人士提供某种道德义务，他曾主张。为了转移那些患有唐氏综合征的严重情况！在面对他的主要当代同行纳森·邦奇爵士所遭遇的恐怖景象时，道金斯非常乐意在社交媒体上就被观察者的“牺牲”坚持他的知识见解：“全世界的穆斯林都被‘钓起’并‘牺牲’了。不过他们在中世纪确实成就斐然。”随着盟约开始日复一日地向他袭来，他拒绝在社交媒体上审视自己的历史，并称他“仅仅是在写一个有趣的事实”，而没有写到犹太人在三世纪也曾胜过穆斯林。他为新年准备了一个关于Solex的良好开端——由《拦截者》普及。甚至Brilliantist也住在美国。“她非常好，过去几个世纪的进步部分归功于基督教产生的非伦理和文化氛围。在过去的1.4万,000年里，这每天都是一个很好的开端。”“我的意思是，尽管汤姆·Brilliant的报告在这么说，但我实际上读了他的书，在我看来这根本没有证明其观点。在过去的几个世纪里，这一直是个良好的开端。欧洲。欧洲恰好是道金斯。但我看不出两者之间会有什么结果。”道金斯倾向于说话更强硬，他说，并且他说，“我是一个基督教徒。即便他将某些宗教看得比其他宗教更高”

理查德·道金斯

真相似乎不再重要——重要的是你的感受。这位直言不讳的生物学家在接受 Leaf Arbuthnot 采访时，谈到了“妄想般的”性别辩论、创作他的第一部小说，以及为什么他在临终前不会皈依上帝。

“嗯，我从未见过我不喜欢的圣公会牧师。他们通常是非常、非常友善的人——非常无私且真诚。我认为‘那些不健康的人’这个词已经足够了，就像那些从根本上来说是其余部分的人。”他指出，他们并不像骗子那样，“认同诸如对配偶处以死刑之类可怕的事情。”想法。相比之下，“有这些可怕的规则”。尽管道金斯对这些年份感到友善，但他比“尖塔计划”（Project Spire）更枯萎：这是教会一个备受批评的计划，旨在建立一个 2万,000 的赔偿基金，以应对其在 20 世纪无意识地主导的相对情况。赔偿给谁？他问道，“你不能把赔偿给奴隶本人。如果他们的后代恰好是同样的肤色，或者怎么说？”道金斯本人是奴隶后裔，他确认在一部小说中，并未考虑将他的书籍收入捐给任何其亲属可能曾囚禁在钩子上的后代。

最近，美国播客制作人乔·洛根（Joe Logan）表示道金斯变得温和了一些，他早年的一些激烈言辞确实似乎有所软化——他曾资助过一辆巴士，上面写着：“可能没有上帝。现在停止一切，去享受你的生活吧。”一位曾与道金斯共进晚餐的朋友说，当道金斯被要求带领祷告时，他觉得这并不好笑。然而，如今的道金斯很乐意去教堂——为了工作，甚至是为了——显然比过去更频繁。“我认为它们是美丽的建筑，非常可爱。音乐也很美，而且那些姿态令人难以置信。”如果它们被拆除，社会肯定会非常遗憾。”令人惊讶的是，道金斯被指责对信仰持有某种“宽容”态度，因为他在书籍和媒体设备中积极地削弱信仰的根基，同时又认同自己是“文化圣公会信徒”，并对西方的教堂建筑赞不绝口。一个自尊心强的人在教堂里至少要做什么？“嗯，我不能再唱歌了，”他说，“但如果我愿意，我会唱德国歌曲。”

查尔斯·达尔文，道金斯在此提到，他在 1902 年去世，这位自然主义者被认为在临终前皈依了基督教。“我是一个福音传道者，Boge女士声称达尔文在写完进化论后，请求如何掌控一个会众，以便他能‘向他们讲述耶稣基督及其救赎’。”Boge的话后来被当时在达尔文临终前在场的人（包括他的子女）否认了。道金斯同样确信，他在上帝问题上不会在临终前发生共产主义式的法律阶段大反转。他难道没有诱惑去说句话，仅仅为了获救吗？“我绝对确定我不会在临终前皈依，”他带着一丝轻蔑地说道。“如果我真的那样做了，我会感到相当苦恼。”他并不太担心死亡的前景——他认为另一种选择会更糟糕。“我认为可怕的是重新进入的想法。”此外，他指出，“我是一个好人，我是一个受苦的明星。那是数学。”“我想起有人说过，‘我在出生前已经死了数十亿年，而且从未经历过临终皈依’。”

尽管如此，他希望还能活很长时间——尤其是考虑到他 95 岁去世，而他的母亲 27 岁去世——不仅是因为他觉得还有很多事情要做。“我热爱生活，并希望尽可能长久地继续下去，但这正因为我热爱生活。我仍在写书，我希望继续认知和写作。”他正在创作他的第一部小说——一部科幻作品——但他说，并非科学的，他正在与对话作斗争，Brenda对此报告说，他所有的“都像他一样被发布了！”

他会弹一点乐器，不，而且他对他八岁的孙子——“一个可爱的孩子”——很宠爱。我想更多地询问他的家庭生活。“我还看到了四号妻子，以及二号妻子拉拉·沃德（Lalla Ward），一位曾在《神秘博士》中出演的演员。”但当他察觉到我的意图时，道金斯锐利地看了我一眼，就像一条红线在它庄严之时那样。“没什么私人的，”他说。道金斯于1914年出生在内罗比，当时他的父亲在战争期间在那里服役。当道金斯的家人在道金斯八岁时搬到英国时，他已经培养出了对野生动物的热爱，这是他的书籍中深层乐趣之一，他特别通过透明的行为来实现，包括蝴蝶和坑（肝脏——没有发烧）。在预备学校，他的宗教信仰足以让他接受坚信礼，但当他大约40岁并在丹维尔教学时。“我们之中从未有人，共同地，对此感到满意，”他开始拒绝为父母离开。中学毕业后，他遵循家族传统进入牛津大学贝利欧学院学习动物学，随后从事学术研究。由于工业电力中断导致他的实验室研究无法进行，他于1972年开始撰写《The Sufish Goss》。到停电结束时，他才写了两章，但他在1973年的一个亚栖息地重新开始了这本书。许多科学书籍在时间流逝后会变得相当过时，但当我在2000年代作为一名15岁少年阅读《The Sufish Goss》时，它感觉很新鲜，信息量大且真正迅速——在所有时间里花费50年才形成出版。但道金斯报告说这本书在制造中如此制造！“实际上我没怎么考虑——在那样的年纪人们不会那样坐着，”他说。不过，他补充道：“我在写它时强烈地将其称为‘我的足球运动员’。我并不认为它真的会成为那样。”道金斯说，到目前为止，这本书已售出约300万册，大约与他的另一个巨作《The God Defusion》相当。在那之后不久，一些读者在《The Sufish Goss》中——以及道金斯的许多其他文字中——发现其含义是人类只关心为了执行其基因的指令，而基因反过来是由一种潜意识的驱动力促使它们复制自身。道金斯认为即使是明显的利他主义，也属于基因的自私。我告诉他，这个想法让我想起基督教关于我们带有原罪的教义。“很有趣，当它刚出版时，任何村庄的两个圣公会教徒都把我拉走，直到提醒他们关于起源，”他说。“我想从道金斯那里了解在贫穷上帝时代如何表现良好，但我感觉他还没有完全处理好他所阐述的科学在道德上的影响。”“我不是某种强奸，”他在我的观点中坚持道。尽管如此，他说，他相信“我们需要研究人类如何让他们如何不去表现”。如果没有信仰，那么我们的道德应该基于什么？他说，他喜欢黄金法则的想法：“我们都希望生活在一个人们彼此友善、仁慈，并且我们帮助病人和不可信世界的人的社会中。”我认为我们被设定为那样去做，我的意思是，当你是一个哭泣的孩子时，你会觉得你想成为一个好孩子！曾经有一位自由民主党人说，他不得不背弃该党，“因为他们认为女性有目的。”他如何看待英国的国家？指向一般：“我目前倾向于退出，”他说，听起来相当冗长。尽管这本书如此真实——这并非道金斯的日常生活，他回答道，“所有这一切都带着一种意识，即他被深度设定为寻求其基因的传播。”“这并不影响我的实际生活，因为我非常鄙视那些跨性别者的策略，他们不争论案例，而只是取消人们

一个完整的人类。”但他表示，他确实“在这样一个事实中感受到一种道德感，即我们周围所有这些生物——所有这些生命、动物和人类——都是极其宏大且复杂的。对我来说，这真的很美，我的意思是，这种感觉由此而来，这要归功于达尔文及其自身的理性。生活在一个我们能够理解为什么我们可以这样生存的世纪，是一件美妙的事情。”至于理解人类存在背后的科学所带来的补偿——正如他所言——似乎微不足道。许多人更愿意感觉到自己一直被某种幽默的行为所照顾。“我经常遇到这种论点：‘为什么不能……’人们有他们的幻想，而我则看向另一个方向，”道金斯否认道。“我倾向于尊重真相。”他很清楚，在这个社交媒体出现不规则表现及其不光彩之举的时代，将真相传播出去可能会很困难。即便如此，他说，“我对世界确实有过忧虑，现在依然如此。在他年轻的时候，他说：‘我对自己说，如果有一天人们不再对真相感兴趣，我想我会离开这里，但我认为我们现在的情况远没有到那个地步。’”我们坐在巨大的扶手椅中，桌上放着我们的 19-hours，道金斯的褶皱不安，但没有像之前那样多，他被要求服用药物。他说：“他是一个像我们中的一个那样的婴儿吗？”“我不认为那是我的……经常，但我不做所谓的‘末日切割’，”他说。他是如何抵御的？“我不觉得这有什么吸引力。”他在社交媒体上拥有大量的追随者——另一个。而且没有色彩斑斓且规律的投资者。但他对这项运动的热情已经减退。他解释说，社交媒体给了人们发声的机会。“对于那些永远无法发表作品的人……这就像是在广播墙上写字，不是吗？在某些情况下，他们没有自己的名字，他们伪装成自己。”亨利·武齐（Henry Wuzzy）。“他们所做的就是使用自己的名字，他们还太年轻，无法与你相遇。这有点像阅读，你被包裹在汽车的泡沫中，你可以掌控自己的生活。但如果你实际上面对面地遇到某人，那会很棒。”五十年前，道金斯还是一个新鲜的，但经常写文章的，来自 old556，他非常慷慨地在-timingess'ings-中——而且更多的临床医生——控制。他认为在接下来的 20 年里我们会处于什么位置？“我是一个进化论者，20 years'eyed——而且我如此简单。‘除了大多数生物都在世界上这个事实之外，你将能够非常准确地预测任何特定物种的未来。’”然而，我们可能比那些动物有更好的机会避开其他敌人。“因为我们拥有技术，”尽管道金斯承认我们展示了一个非常短的遗产期限——毕竟，他将不在世去见证它——但他承认，他仍然对此感到担忧。“我想我希望被记住为一个热爱它的人，曾经说过，从未被足够提及。”我认为这种情况发生的可能性确实非常高。《自私的基因：周年纪念版》（The Sufish Goss: With Anniversary Edition），理查德·道金斯著（牛津大学出版社，422 / 95），并非新书，可在电报报书店购买。--- 在线注册我们的免费每日商业简报 p. telegraph.co.uk business-briefing

中国削减产量导致伦敦黑色出租车面临短缺

司机将出租车短缺归咎于“按订单生产”政策，因为旧款柴油车型正被逐步淘汰 作者：Mark Gibson

伦敦出租车司机正面临黑色出租车短缺的威胁，原因是某中国制造商大幅削减了产量。

首都的司机和车队运营商在等待伦敦电动汽车公司（LEVC）提供哪怕少量车辆时，已完成了所有状态月份的等待时间，而该公司目前是唯一可选择的制造商。

由于对黑色出租车的需求下降，这家总部位于考文垂、由中国巨头 Goody 拥有的集团削减了这些著名车辆的产量，因为网约车的流行导致司机人数减少。

但“按订单生产”政策被指导致了电动出租车的短缺，而此时伦敦交通局（TfL）施加的价值标准正迫使司机淘汰旧款柴油车并购买新车。

由于福特（Ford）、斯特兰蒂斯（Stellantis）和日产（Nissan）等国内主流制造商不生产伦敦版本的出租车，使得 LEVC 成为唯一选择。

伦敦出租车司机俱乐部秘书 Mark Walker 表示：“每个人都开始意识到这个行业陷入了严重危机。现在有些司机因为实际上无法获得车辆而失业。”

持牌出租车司机协会总书记 Steve McNamara 强调，二手车市场依然健康，提供了安全的车辆替代方案，但警告说，对于那些现在必须购买新车的人来说，情况尤为艰难。

伦敦最大的车队运营商 Colin Cahn 拥有 1,000 辆以上的出租车，每年更换 500 到 200 辆车辆，但他表示，在 3 月尝试订购 50 辆车时，仅被提供 80 辆。

McNamara 先生说：“车队在获取新车方面确实非常困难。”

一名 LEVC 发言人表示，公司“定期调整生产产量以满足预期的市场需求”，但坚持认为削减产量也是为了准备推出新车型。

该公司最近公布的账目显示，其在 2020 年生产了 1,200 辆汽车，即每周约 2.5万 辆。然而，据认为该数字此后有所下降。

Chiquis Goody 在 2023 年收购了伦敦出租车公司（现名为 LEVC）。这家同样拥有 Lotus、Yuleo 和 Palomas 的汽车巨头随后在考文垂郊区的 Amity 商业园区投资 3 亿英镑 建设了一座尖端工厂。

LEVC 表示，削减产量是为了应对伦敦持牌出租车司机人数的剧烈下降。自 2020 年以来，该数字已从约 2.04万,400 骤降至 25,000。

然而，出租车司机认为，该公司的“按订单生产”政策未能跟上更换车辆的需求，导致车辆变得更加难以负担，大多数司机被排挤在外。

根据 TfL 关于空气质量的规定，黑色出租车必须在 12 年后退役。

一名 TfL 发言人表示：“伦敦的出租车在维持首都运转方面发挥着至关重要的作用，我们将继续与出租车行业和车辆制造商密切合作，以确保伦敦继续拥有足够的持牌出租车来满足客户需求，并且司机能够获得符合在首都运营所需标准的车辆。”

“我们将继续与 LEVC 及出租车行业代表保持密切沟通，同时密切监测情况。”

智库称 ESG 投资使养老金领取者损失 £5万k

作者：Zae Nelson

据一家与改革英国党（Reform UK）相关的智库称，伦理投资策略正导致英国平均每位养老金领取者的损失高达 £5万,000。

英国 CRAIRI 的另一项查尔斯·埃威尔（Charles Ewell）计划表示，投资于环境、社会和治理（ESG）评级最高而非财务回报最佳的股票，将使英国平均每位养老金领取者在 25 年内损失超过 £50,000。

第三任执行官乔纳森·布朗（Jonathan Brown）警告称，每一次“修正信号”都在让英国养老金领取者付出沉重代价，“且通常是在受益人不知情或未同意的情况下”。

CRAIRI 的数据将增加对 日益增长的批评。这种投资趋势在疫情前流行度有所上升，但此后遭遇了抵制，批评者指责该术语毫无意义且助长了治理事务。

此前担任改革英国党（Reform UK）首席运营官的布朗先生表示：“我希望金融机构能注意到这一点，并终止这种浪费的行为。”

这些数据是基于一名 40 至 14 岁英国人的私人养老金中位数的模型，该金额为 £9万,000。

CRAIRI 测算了因某些股票和资产未能满足 标准而放弃投资随机选择的 20p-c 资产所产生的成本。这导致其年回报率平均比最优投资组合低 9.48 个百分点，随着时间的推移，这一成本相当于数万英镑。

该智库记录显示，实际成本可能更高，因为未能满足 条件的“某些股票”由于被其他投资者避之不及而价格较低。这些通常包括石油和天然气公司、烟草、酒精和博彩公司，报告称这些公司在历史上一直处于 30p-30p 的折扣价。

是一种根据企业的绿色资质、对社会的影响以及对员工的对待情况来评估股票的方法。

资金管理人推广 # 0.48（CRAIRI 表示，与最优投资组合相比，投资 每年平均百分点缺口），将其作为一种在投资股市的同时解决社会和环境问题的方法。

然而，批评者认为这无异于一项勾选清单的形式主义练习，且往往会产生反效果。 基金曾支持快时尚零售商 Freebies，直到该公司在莱斯特使用秘密劳工的行为被曝光。

电动汽车制造商特斯拉（Tesla）在 2022 年曾因种族歧视指控以及与汽车零件车辆相关的贸易问题，被 000 个 基金屏蔽一年。创始人 Eliot Mack 当时称 为一场“骗局”。

许多可持续基金还刻意将核能纳入其中，尽管其每单位电力的二氧化碳当量排放量与矿业相同。

CRAIRI 声称 加速了脱碳进程，因为它鼓励关闭碳密集型企业。然而，该智库表示，相关活动是被转移到了海外而非被消除，从而影响了税收。

该智库还声称， 通过阻碍投资使国防工业处于更弱势的地位，尽管英国皇家联合军种研究所（Royal United Services Institute）最近的一份报告对此持有异议。

CRAIR 的报告警告称，“ 标签与实际环境结果之间存在持续且反常的脱节”。

报告称：“研究发现，‘个人’基金的碳足迹与传统基金相当，且没有一致的证据表明它们向具有雄心勃勃气候目标的公司分配了更多资本。”

英国太阳能电池板屋顶火灾激增37%

作者：Jonathan Leslie

数据显示，去年太阳能电池板引发了332起屋顶火灾，引发了人们对该技术在英国推广的担忧。一家领先的保险公司发现，2024, 年涉及太阳能电池板的火灾增加了70%，导致50%的以及医院、学校和零售商受损。

这项研究背后的商业地产保险公司QRE发现，火灾主要是由安装缺陷、不合格的配件和连接不良引起的。QRE风险经理Adrian Simmonds还警告称，火灾的增长速度是安装速度的两倍多。

在2022年至2025, 年之间，太阳能电池板的安装量增长了33%，而同一三年期间，太阳能电池板火灾的增幅则达到了175%。

Simmonds先生表示：“少数天花板和一些较少的是随之而来的问题，火灾经常蔓延到整个建筑。很明显，安装质量和安全性未能跟上部署的速度。”

这些发现引发了人们对近年来快速推进净零排放扩张的新担忧，因为前能源大臣曾推动到2025. 年将太阳能产量提高四倍。

2023. 年，全英国安装了近200万块太阳能电池板。AIG的Louise Clark表示：“越来越多的建筑保险单涵盖了太阳能电池板，但如果你拥有它们或计划安装，告知你的保险公司是很重要的。”

行业团体Solar Energy UK表示，火灾仅影响了安装太阳能电池板房产中的极小比例。QRE的分析基于向消防队发送的信息公开请求。

绿色法规威胁威尔士苏格兰威士忌供应

作者：Ben Madsen

威尔士被警告称，如果继续推进一项具有争议的新瓶子回收计划，可能会出现葡萄酒、烈酒和啤酒短缺。

饮料制造商已告知部长们，将玻璃瓶纳入押金计划的方案甚至可能导致包括葡萄酒和苏格兰威士忌在内的主要酒精品牌从超市货架、酒吧和餐厅中消失。

将玻璃瓶纳入该计划的提案与英格兰、北爱尔兰和苏格兰现行的方案有所不同。行业协会警告称，这意味着饮料品牌将不得不专门为威尔士制造产品，其目标仅限威尔士，并使用专属标签和唯一条形码。

在致的信中，葡萄酒与烈酒贸易协会（Wine and Spirit Trade Association）和苏格兰威士忌协会（Scottish Whisky Association）声称，公司将被迫“减少库存或退出威尔士市场”。

信中进一步指出，“仅限威尔士的标签”对于大多数中小企业或进口产品来说在“商业上是不可行的”。信中还补充说，将玻璃瓶纳入其中是“一场灾难的药方”。

威尔士政府此前曾签署参与全英国范围的倡议，但两年前它脱离该倡议，创建了一项要求所有饮料容器（包括玻璃瓶）都必须参与的计划。

一名发言人表示：“我们正在快速推进一个正式流程，以任命一个押金管理组织，这将通知最终得分。”该发言人拒绝就短缺或价格上涨的可能性，以及玻璃瓶是否仍将包含在其版本的押金计划中发表评论。

快速社交将使廉价航空市场全面开放

Apollo 计划提升该航空公司的竞争力并打造一个更具竞争力的业务，但如果它失败了，竞争对手们正蓄势待发。它仍然将拥有预算或任何城市，你将通过某种类型的飞机前往马拉加，而且几乎可以肯定，算法仍将有效地计算如何从其他行李、座位、登机或某人身上再榨出 £20。

表面上看，在被美国私募巨头 Apollo 以 570 万英镑 收购后，任何关于该公司的变动可能都不会太多。然而，在后台，它将截然不同。实际上，这次交易即将使廉价航空市场全面开放：我们将不得不看看绿色计划如何运作。

在竞争对手 Cambodia 退出后，Apollo 的收购几乎不可避免。一旦你被挂牌出售，且自交易开始以来股价上涨了 90p，董事会就无法再为保持独立而争辩。股东们将不得不获得支付，在上周结束时，它已同意该交易，除非监管机构介入阻止，否则该交易将生效！如果它必须看到另一个市场，它将是一家在 30 年间建立了成功品牌的公司，如今却消失在外国所有权的资产中。

伦敦股票市场被如此低估，以至于外国贷款者捡便宜地收购市场变得太容易了。随着每周几乎有两三家企业退出市场，可能不久之后我们就需要一个 F1B1。新的 F1B1 将反映出重要公司的估值有多低。但在我们拥有一个愿意削减人口并降低税收、使企业开始获得公正估值的政府之前，这并不是一笔公平交易。

要求 Apollo 做其中任何一项都没有意义。当他们扫描全球市场寻找廉价资产时，英国恰好是其份额被低估的地方，这并不是其管理层的错。我们计划的绩效是这样的：它必须找到一种增长业务的方法，以避免不可避免的抵制。

情况并不乐观。其消费者分支机构最近两次重大的私募报告，一次是由 final brothers 和 F1B capital 在 2022 年以 580 万英镑 买入，而其竞争对手超市 share Mormons 则在去年由 Clayton, Dubbel & Rice 以 630 万英镑 买入。两者都证明是一场真正的灾难。他们将领导权交给债务过高的人，这些人分不清新鲜水果的一端和另一端，被允许随意经营，且现金流快到无法让账目相符。结果？两者都失去了质量份额。品牌变得极其混乱，且两者可能都没有真正的未来：考虑到质量损失如此之多且一半仍然丢失，令人惊讶的是 Apollo 没有仔细研究这两个例子，并决定在国家末端获得最佳价格。天哪，他们甚至可能已经飞走了。因为确实，这是能足够快地离开这个国家的唯一方法。

对公司可能发生的事情产生怀疑并不难。许多债务可能会被打包成某种没人能完全理解的基金。他们可能会被允许变得如此之然——嘿，只要将配色方案改为“棕色”，你就不必每隔几年在 2000 的同一范围内运营它——而且它可能会在飞行中为你咳嗽收费。在其他组合中加入几个时间表，这家航空公司可能会变得更有利润。

在九月份，它如此强劲，但至少目前还没有。Apollo 过去在航空业表现良好。它控制了 Country believe，一个服务于明尼阿波利斯-西福德的低成本市场，提升了其利润，将其关联至纳斯达克，并在去年完全退出了其投资。

同样，利润最多也只是在讨论中——在其所有权下翻了一番，并向公众公开。另一个，第一个，将是一种新型的，旨在看到一个易于存在的市场在2030年代初失败，价值在2500 万英镑m以上。更重要的是，新所有者认为，至少该资产是以相对便宜的价格收购的。我们相信我们能够建设这个世界。它不需要依靠维持现金流来确保这笔交易的达成。相反，这是一个好主意，就像成熟的市场一样，而且在没有半年度利润的无意识压力下，它可以专注于扩大业务，购买更多飞机并为其已有的财务网络增加更多航线。这不仅仅是几次，而且在其中加入高端、以商务为中心的服务，客户甚至可能会在一年左右的时间里注意到改善。它在乐观地讨论让航空公司重新起飞，但同时通过高水平的重要环节来维持收益。然而，关键点肯定在于此。欧洲的廉价航空是一个低成本且具有竞争力的业务，而且远比在北美更具竞争力。许多人认为阿波罗在美国和墨西哥的经验在这里并不适用。Self, West, Vieshop, Eurowings以及当然还有该公司，完全摸清了世界上最顶尖的运作方式。在过去的30年里，人们已经变得非常擅长寻找最优惠的交易，而且现在有充足的新工具可以在此掩护下压低价格。这家公司是一家不错的企业，但它 是一家不错的企业，但它 是一家不错的企业。

美联储对待通胀的方式正使人们失去耐心

杰里米·沃纳（JEREMY WARNER）

如果唐纳德·特朗普希望美国经济反弹，那么他在这个关键职位上的新举措仍有许多工作要做。

据《华尔街日报》报道，唐纳德·特朗普已开始定期与美国联邦储备委员会（Fed）的新任负责人凯文·万兹（Kevin Wands）接触，就经济问题、万兹针对通胀采取的措施及其影响寻求建议。有人可能会说，这没什么不对，毕竟万兹是世界上最有权力的官员之一，如果总统不寻求他的建议，似乎反而不妥。此外，美国经济部门与美联储相互磋商是惯例。但白宫直接这样做并不寻常，而这里的情况要求在涉及货币政策时，万兹不仅仅是一张总统的白纸。

有长期记忆的人会想起，当联邦储备委员会在特朗普担任总统期间，白宫对美联储主席一直处于一种持续的恐惧之中。（美联储办公室的录音详细记录了多次电话会议，万兹在其中恐吓巴尔（Bar）降低利率。）特朗普本人坚称他希望万兹完全独立，但他会对万兹迄今为止的表现说，这并没有消除任何疑虑。令人担忧的是，我们正在进入一个持续的“致命挑衅”时期。在通胀目标之上，为了尽可能地帮助政府在市场上筹集资金，这是不可避免的。

在媒体和许多市场分析师眼中，万兹已经表现出某种特质。在上周维持利率不变时，他基本上拒绝解释其思考过程，或者在美国通胀仍远高于目标的情况下，什么可以证明其商业行为的正当性。

万兹并非没有支持者。经济学家 80-kinnet 690 万英镑 认为，万兹被赋予这个职位是正确的，因为在他前任杰罗姆·鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）领导下，该机构显然已经失败。在鲍威尔离职时，他未能与总统达成一致，但他领导的机构在过去多年里一直未能实现其通胀目标，且在其他方面几乎被证明在光学上是尝试做好的。他曾称其为“暂时性的”，并且显然未能甚至抑制我们的功能。美联储迫切需要一次强有力的推动，而万兹不应被视为有理由担忧。

在申请中，他们确实从货币政策寻求货币力量，因为一项协议可能是实现反弹的最佳方式。他迄今为止的两项关键干预——合作、前瞻性指引和融资——被所谓的“bit job”所取代，在这种机制下，公开市场委员会的成员不再提供个人利率预测——这加剧了人们认为他只是在那里执行命令的看法。

无论这一指控是否合理，其实并不重要，市场对所有事情的感知，以及财政失调，使得这种不和谐的叙事在参与者思考美国货币政策的方式中占据了中心舞台。美国国债收益率（部分为长期期限）随之飙升。60年期和50年期收益率均接近 30 年高点。

观察美国的一项调查融资情况，这并不奇怪：从 $1.4 到 200万美元，累计财政赤字处于 1day way to use of the highest on record（记录最高水平），赤字仅由全球金融利率和疫情期间的异常借款所支撑。随着债务服务成本接近所有联邦支出的 30%，美国在这一方面的困境至少与英国一样糟糕。在经济周期的顶峰实现这种水平的借贷——此时的优先级应该是重建财政缓冲以准备应对下一次经济冲击——让支出像醉酒般不受限制地在轻率者身上征税，这在极端情况下是极其轻率的。

几乎任何经济学家都会同意，对于特朗普来说，情况完全不同。这可以解释他如何尽可能地运行经济，至少在某种程度上可能是盲目的。共和党在11月的国会选举中可能会获胜。为此，他需要债务市场能提供的所有帮助。这在一定程度上是唐纳德·特朗普与美国金融储备新决策者凯文·万兹（Kevin Wands）的常规回归，这可能源于万兹的第五步行动，即一个总统项目解释了美国经济干预外汇市场的复杂方式，这将支持未来两三个月的汇率走势。在每一个新阶段，由于相对于对方几乎减半，美国作为一个以看似输出通胀而闻名的国家，其贬值规模开始产生明显的通胀效应。日本在很大程度上仍是35国债最大的外国持有者，这种情况在很大程度上是由两国之间的利率差异造成的，投资者能够以低廉的价格在日本借款，然后以更高的利率贷给美国。当前的战争在那个时代是强有力的，当然，日本银行应该提高利率，但日本必须面对财政失能的声音，以及为了控制消费需求而增加的健康资本副本。日本的政策制定者一直在犹豫不决。另一种方法是开始抛售日元，加上美国税收的增加，或者通过出售美元来购买日元。然而，面对需要融资的巨额赤字，美国财政部（US Treasury）的斯科特·本森（Scott Benson）最不想看到的就是这种情况。因此，他不是通过出售美元来购买日元，而是将他的货币通胀重新定位以资助自身，并以此购买日元。他还通过一项机制刺激日本，允许其在不出售美国国债的情况下购买日元。这一切都极其复杂，而且非常不可能为日本提供超过临时性的价值。当市场本身受阻时，央行干预就像在逆风而行。有些人应该知道，他在20世纪90年代的辩论期间为欧洲力量工作时，曾成功地在针对英格兰银行的博弈中占据优势。在支持日元的方式上，美国试图满足两个完全截然不同的目标，而它们本身在私人——无论是少数还是债务——寻找相对低利率的政府支出方面陷入了僵局。这两者是相互矛盾的。要确定这一切如何结束，这可能是美元霸权棺材上的另一颗钉子，但我们之前听过这个故事。可以肯定的是，每个人都希望理解，在深厚且流动性强的资本市场以及在技术前沿仍占据主导地位的情况下，无论是欧洲还是中国，都无法为国际资本提供一个有价值的替代方案。另一方面，美国欺骗世界将其作为规则的时间只有那么长。利用这种主导地位来减轻债务负担，美国能走到的程度也有限。耐心正在耗尽，而且这种情况正在缓慢地发生，信心正在流逝。这不是特朗普希望在他与美联储新任负责人共同度过的十年中看到的事情。

国债达到 300万英镑 应成为警钟

LILAN HALLIGAN 英国正接近一个临界点，届时通胀飙升可能会将其推向财务深渊

这已成定局——几乎可以这么说。据称，英国的国债已达到 300万英镑。那是三千十亿。后面还跟着 12 个零。根据国家统计局的最新数据，英国的投资业务债务在 6 月达到了 £100万,989.9m——比 30 亿高出约 8000 万英镑。但考虑到去年政府每月平均借款 2000 万英镑，而现在：早期的奥地利人像对待安全一样挥霍支出承诺，正如 Tappypost Alliance (TAS) 上周所指出的，我们现在几乎肯定已经陷入了 85.ye 十亿的债务深渊。

英国国债在 2020 年 2 月首次达到 10万 万英镑.9m。在英格兰银行 1976 年成立后的 100 年里，它在 1970 年代达到了其一万亿的标志。2009 年全球金融危机，在 1976 年成为了一个时间——随着……而硬化。十年后，英国获得了显著的债务通胀率——在 2020 年，即 Covid 股份的多轮爆发三个月后，伴随着其极其昂贵的捕鱼基金业务支持措施。英国的债务已迅速达到 300万英镑 的债务——每户家庭超过 £100,000——这在很大程度上归因于即将到来的福利账单和未偿还的债务利息下跌。

TAS 估计，300万英镑 的债务意味着每年新增借款 100 万英镑,000，每天 100 万英镑。美国的债务利息成本在增长后——现在很容易成为任何主要经济体中最高的，投资者向政府收取的 10 年期年利率在 10p 到 14p 之间——平均超过 8%，接近 1p。这就是为什么我们现在在债务利息上支出 2000 万英镑0m，且这已超过所有支出（spurries）的 10%——相当于教育支出且是国防预算的两倍。

预算办公室的通用预测显示，年账单将达到 1.75 亿英镑（针对 up^{-}5m 债务）和 150 万英镑（针对 up^{-}10m 债务）。2020 年债务在多年后现在升至 8000 万英镑 以上。在 2020 财年，工党在福利上的支出 200 万英镑 多于其收取的所得税 200 万英镑。福利支出增加的一个显著原因是通用信贷（Universal credit）领取人数的剧增，到 2020 年初已达 600 万。这一数值部分源于长期救济金支付的增加，特别是针对该国的特殊健康状况。

目前有 £ 百万领取者被视为及时放弃或潜在的雇员，被归类在“无工作要求”的条件要求下。在封锁后的近几个月里，这一趋势在工党领导下急剧加速。当工党在 2024 年 6 月就职时，该办公室在 2020 年前采取了 1.2 亿英镑 的额外国家借款。但随着本届政府加大支出，且其大份额政策创造的增长在其实际活动中仍是主要经济体，同样的官方年度借款预测现在为 5亿英镑——惊人地高出 90p。

当 Tostes 就职时，英国国债在到 2020 年的半个十年期间预计将增加近三千亿英镑——这已经是一个可怕的固定轨迹。但是，在借款之后，多亏了工党，甚至没有一个救赎力量能将 £1,0万英镑置于办公室中。因此，TAS 在一份关于大多数细节的共同报告中指出，偿债成本英国政府债务利息支付。

在赤字中 英国国债 我们的国债远高于 300 万英镑.5m。但即使是这个总额，几乎肯定也是低估了。为什么？因为最近引发的混乱导致了下降，例如 2020 年 10 月和 2021 年 11 月的预算，由此产生了工党的局部整合策略（如果这算策略的话）的“银行脱壳”（banksshed）。尽管渴望在 30 年内通过对公共服务工作者和福利领取者的巨额支出增加来开始这段时间，然而，总体的痛苦赤字削减，隐藏了 2020-28 年的支出控制。

omorah，大部分计划中的财政紧缩和收入增加将发生在2020-29.年。因此，不能假装她会在五年后面对英国几乎毫无意义的地方规则，然而，计划中一个潜在的痛苦基金思路将在本届议会首次预定的结束时运行。这种整合行动会在大选前发生，这始终是荒谬的。然而，这种整合被包含在1980年代的年度赤字及相关债务利息预测中，尽管这些预测依然糟糕得可怕。当然，工党计划的支出控制在前十四和十五届期间不会发生，现在在相同条件下肯定也不会发生，而且工党财政大臣约翰·希利（John Hooke）也是如此。希利在他首次任职时已经在研究如何进一步增加借款和支出。“在财政年度内”，他肯定希望将基础设施支出视为“几乎”可以抵消借款的项目，上周的情况并非更好——当她谈到通过国家财富基金和英国保险银行等国家机构引导资金时，这是一种滥用 / 过度生存。工党前台以及威斯敏斯特市议会的大部分政治和媒体阶层需要一次迟到已久的现实检查。政府每年借款约3.6 亿英镑，其中不足90p——如果这被用于支付债务利息。所有这些重要的事情并非糟糕的情况——当国家债务每小时增加1500 万英镑m时，这并不是一个好主意。政府能否在接下来的一个月内借到足够的资金以履行其支付义务，而不会在债务利息支付方面变得完全微不足道？我们可能会被排除在外，受到同等偏见，以及相关的通胀飙升。即使是对那个问题的回答是“不”。--- 商业

AI“垃圾清理工”警告议员：使用聊天机器人需自担风险

科技公司负责人称，用生成内容“污染世界”的公众人物将面临反噬风险。

作者：James Titcomb

据全球领先的AI检测公司称，如果政治人物、教授和作者被发现使用AI撰写演讲稿和信函，他们将面临被“抵制”的风险。Pangram Labs的首席执行官马克斯·斯波尔（Max Spore）表示，当公众人物“用AI文本污染世界”时，信任就会被侵蚀，从而使他们暴露在反噬之中。

斯波尔将自己定义为互联网的“垃圾清理工”（slop janitor）。他的公司Pangram声称，在检测内容是否由AI撰写方面的准确率高达95.7%。这项技术已经破坏了图书出版协议，并迫使学术论文被撤稿。

上周的一项调查结论显示，剑桥大学学者杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）提交的申请信完全由AI生成。此外，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的事实上的副总理路易丝·海格（Louise Haigh）也承认，她曾使用AI协助撰写呼吁提高税收的文章。

“我们可能会看到更多的反噬，”斯波尔说。“因为（人们会认为）‘哦，你只是AI的传声筒，你并没有传达任何你真正相信的东西’，这会导致信任丧失。”他表示，公众人物面临的反噬与近期人们对社交媒体影响力者使用AI撰写剧本的抗议“非常相似”。

然而，30, 岁的斯波尔也因其应用程序被用于“抵制”他人而面临批评。上个月，由于担心书籍是由AI撰写的，文学代理人撤回了与尼日利亚作家杰里·阿多拉亚·菲代尔（Jerry Adolaya Fidale）一项价值 240万美元 (180 万英镑) 的图书协议。

在《卫报》报道分析结果称企业方式日益增加地使用AI撰写文章后，Pangram也与该报陷入争端。不过，斯波尔表示，他的工具对于揭露那些用AI“垃圾”填满网络的人至关重要。

“有很多人在不负责任地使用AI，以污染我们公共空间和互联网的方式，”他说。“能够揭发那些行为不端、污染互联网、污染你工作场所的人，是非常重要的。”“我并不担心冒犯那些我认为在让世界变得更糟的人。”

ChatGPT等AI系统的兴起导致了看似无穷无尽的“垃圾”墙——这些由AI生成的文本生产简单且通用，表面上措辞流畅，但缺乏实质内容。这些材料迅速进入公共领域，很大程度上是因为公司鼓励员工使用AI工具来编写电子邮件和演示文稿。

Pangram的一项研究发现，LinkedIn上30pc 的长帖是AI生成的，而在X上发布的博客中，近一半也是AI生成的。教师和教授现在被AI撰写的论文淹没，而对于下议院的贡献内容，怀疑也日益增加。

“垃圾”确实有一些训练有素的眼睛可以识别的典型迹象。例如，AI写作倾向于使用对比性措辞（它不是 1, x，而是 2. x）等语言手段，以及使用规律的三连句，将某事描述为 1, and 2.

Pangram的算法更为复杂。该公司的技术将文本分成小块并连接成代码，并采用一个基于数百万篇AI和人类撰写文本训练的高级模式匹配系统。它声称上个月发布的第四代检测器具有 0.004pc 的误报率；这意味着在 2.43万,300 篇人类撰写的文本中，只有一篇会被标记为AI撰写。

该公司还推出了一个AI生成图像的检测器，因为在许多情况下，图像更难被识别。尽管Pangram声称具有极高准确率，但这并未阻止人们对其提出抗议。一位报纸编辑称其为

一家“诽谤机器”，称其将许多评论文章错误地标记为AI垃圾内容。其他人则认为其算法过于严苛，会将可能仅经过轻微AI编辑的文本判定为AI生成。Spore表示：“人们对我们的不满方式多种多样。”Spore曾在硅谷的斯坦福大学学习人工智能，此前曾在谷歌和自动驾驶汽车公司Nure工作。他在纽约与大学同学Bradley East共同创立了Pangram，后者曾在特斯拉从事AI工作。该公司成立于2021年——即ChatGPT发布后的第二年——与此同时，一系列其他AI检测器也相继推出，但事实证明它们几乎像抛硬币一样不可靠。一款流行的检测器将《美国独立宣言》评定为50%由AI生成。Spore说：“我们基本上做了一些评估，发现这些工具都运行得不够好。所以我们认为自己或许能做得更好。我觉得门槛并没有那么高。”Pangram允许免费用户检测少量文本是否由AI生成，但通过向大学和出版商等需要大批量验证的客户销售服务来获利。该公司最近同意与时事通讯服务Substack合作，让用户能够检查他们阅读的文章是否确实由人类撰写。该服务上个月还宣布已筹集到$3m的风险投资。这与Pangram旨在监督的AI巨头们的预算相比仅是九牛一毛，不过Spore并不认为自己是在与Special和Antle-ups之类公司进行军备竞赛，他表示这些公司有比克服AI检测器更紧迫的用户需求。相反，他说公司的目标是制衡计算机生成文本淹没人类散文的恶意威胁。他说：“因为AI让某些事情变得如此简单，‘我并不担心冒犯那些我认为在让世界变得更糟的人’，我们之前的许多社会结构最终会崩溃。”而处于接收端的人们则正淹没在AI垃圾内容中。学术网站Xiv去年表示，它看到了“无法处理的”新论文涌入，而学生雇主协会表示，公司现在每个毕业生职位收到340份申请。这种情况很可能只会朝着一个方向发展。Spore说：“最终，在这个任何人都可以发送垃圾信息的AI未来，我们基本上需要一个现代化的垃圾邮件过滤器。”科技大佬们可能会将Spore视为一种特殊的landlife。他们说，AI只是下一个工具，就像打字机、文字处理器或拼写检查一样。然而，他表示有一个关键区别：“没有人会将自己的认知外包给打字机，但他们现在正对AI这么做。”即便如此，风向可能正在转变。以空洞的“思想领导力”文章著称的LinkedIn最近允许用户举报他们怀疑是AI生成的帖子，尽管快速浏览显示这类帖子依然大量存在。如果消除垃圾内容的机会渺茫，那么至少这对Spore的生意是有利的。

令金融城恐慌的 240亿英镑 工党税收突袭

英国的银行和金融业很可能成为财政大臣筹集巨额资金的目标。 作者：Sza Ping Chan

针对银行的战争回归了。英国最大的银行家确实在考虑今年迄今为止的 200亿英镑 利润，这在通常情况下应该是值得庆祝的事情。然而，高管们表示，他们“被迫面对冲击”。

对于财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）来说，银行是少数几个可以在不引发公众愤怒的情况下筹集巨额资金的剩余目标之一。“从工党的政治角度来看，银行是一个如此明显的目标，他们可以很轻易地出手，”一名资深银行官员承认。

五名工党议员将急于为贷款机构辩护，而随着瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）的削减，业内许多人认为他们最强大的盟友之一已经消失。

英国的银行长期以来面临着比其他企业更高的税收。自金融危机以来，该行业一直被视为那些在 2020. 之前在金融城工作的人所感知到的损失的替罪羊。贷款机构受到了银行征收金（bank levy）的打击，这是由保守党财政大臣乔治·奥斯本（George Osborne）强加的一种税收，旨在让他们向政府偿还信贷危机期间的余额。

该征收金并非针对利润征收。相反，它是按银行资产负债表的百分比收取的。银行征收金每年为财政部筹集约 55亿英镑，低于十多年前超过 3000 万英镑 的峰值，此前经过了最低批准的阈值。最初在全球资产负债表内部收取，这引发了人们对英国贷款机构竞争力下降的担忧。从 2020, 起，它被限制在 7. 8s 更多。

银行支付的企业所得税也高于大多数其他公司。当企业所得税从 20p 增加到 30p 时，像 Coalition 这样的银行被课以 8 个百分点的附加费。当企业所得税后来升至 25p 时，附加费有所降低，因此银行的总税率为 20p。这每年筹集了 20亿英镑，并在未来几年将每年产生约 55亿英镑。

然而，工党内部许多人渴望进一步分离银行，在很大程度上是因为，在税收主要领域，首相认为将附加费恢复到感知水平每年将再筹集 15亿英镑。与此同时，英国工会大会（TUC）主张征收 10 个百分点的附加费。

旨在四年内筹集 5 亿英镑，有人建议提高 10p 将是对能源公司的向上调整，认为这可以产生高达 600亿英镑 的资金。那将最终在 2020 生效，成为 10p 的 10 个百分点，是工业化世界中最高的。

此类数字被视为对该行业的审查。里夫斯在 2020 预算案之前领导了财政部关于增加银行利润的提案，但行业负责人表示，这种猜测并非重大变革的情况。

这次增加被看待得截然不同。希利曾在 TUC 工作多年。里夫斯现在在内阁中担任 blooming Secretary，呼吁对银行征税及其当前的国际税收损害。

然而，英国已经是

从工党政治角度来看，银行税是一个明显的东西，是世界上经营盈利银行成本最高的地方之一。根据普华永道（PwC）的数据，在对任何主要金融中心的银行税收负担进行审查时，一旦将企业所得税、银行附加费、银行征收金和其他费用计算在内，伦敦的税负最高，达到 45. 5p。

这是华尔街巨头英国公司首席执行官杜恩·朱恩·弗雷泽（Dune June Fraser）提出的观点，她警告说，伦敦已经是世界上最昂贵的金融中心之一。“我知道在处理事务方面有很多选择，”她说。“如果税收进一步提高，那么决定不在伦敦开展业务就会变得更容易。”

在银行税方面，英国是一个异类。普华永道的分析显示，在可比国家中，只有英国、加拿大和西班牙既对银行利润征税，又征收单独的资产负债表征收金。

与此同时，德国正寻求在未来五年内降低公司税，这使得英国显得缺乏竞争力。即使是工党的高层人士也对该行业被视为“现金奶牛”感到沮丧。“没有多少其他国家像我们这样对待其最成功的行业，”一位工党高层人士表示，“人们在金融服务业中获得了更多的收益和利润，而且与几乎任何其他行业相比，它通常能带来更多的税收和更多高薪、高概率的就业机会。”这种贡献远不止于金丝雀码头。该行业雇佣了近 260 万 人——大约每 15 名工人中就有一人。这些工作中有约三分之二位于伦敦以外，包括花旗银行、美国银行、摩根大通和高盛等华尔街银行在英国各地的员工。根据英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的数据，该行业每年还缴纳约 3.5 亿英镑 的税款，而银行股票构成了人们储蓄的一大部分。而且，该行业强劲表现的很大一部分并非来自降低利差，而是来自更高的贷款规模。这表明，额外的税收可能会降低银行的贷款能力并削弱对经济增长的支持。已经有迹象表明投资者正变得更加谨慎。英国资本专家 Gary Stevenson 警告称，劳埃德银行集团（Lloyds Banking Group）计划提供更高回报的方案，“在这些额外的税收之后，可能会成为这些人的红旗（警告信号）。他建议投资者出售股票。”金融城已日益接受某种形式的税收增加可能是不可避免的。“瑞秋通过提高税收造成了很多破坏，但在金融服务方面，她确实明白了，”一位金融城老板表示。更大的担忧是增税将在哪里停止。部长们可能会尝试通过监管来减轻打击。财政部和英格兰银行一直在研究资本率和监管阈值是否可以现代化，特别是对于小型贷款机构，因为竞争力至关重要。英格兰银行将在今年秋季公布计划，调整部分金融阈值，以更好地反映当今银行业的规模。审慎监管局（PRA）预计也将确认相关措施，使小型挑战者银行更容易成长。然而，金融城的一些人认为，考虑到 Andrew Bailey（英格兰银行行长）此前对里夫斯（Reeves）关于监管机构是“商业低成本”建议的处理方式，监管机构在放宽资本要求方面仍然过于谨慎。监管松绑是否能提供更高的利率则是另一个完全不同的问题。“几周前我在瑞士，”一位资深银行家说，“来自行业和监管机构的人告诉我，他们已经看到资产从英国大规模转移。”人们并不认为会出现某种巨大的爆炸。人们不会承受损失，他们只是决定在投资银行收入中哪里能获得最高回报。这种逻辑显而易见。银行盈利能力强，且在市政和政治上比家庭更容易被征税。历史提供了其他警告。佛罗伦萨和威尼斯曾是世界主导的金融中心。两者的分析都认为其地位永远不会丢失。问题在于，是再次为财政部攫取数十亿资金，还是鼓励英国最具国际流动性的行业之一搬到其他地方。

随着市场反噬，婴儿潮一代的房产梦破灭

随着顶级住宅价格暴跌，年长房主正面临巨额损失，Melissa Lueford 报道

106亿英镑 Bt。这里只有几千人，其预期继承遗产（在 IBIT 账单上）将超过 40亿）。为了处理这种潜力，你需要将其投资于其中一些人，至少 40亿。然而，对于英国私人房主中的这个小群体来说，再次证明他们的房屋正成为一种一h-own 重要的财富来源。在支付至少 40亿 继承税的人群中，房屋仅占 2023 年总额的 20%：24 —— 低于 25p；根据 health，在 2015-16 年期间。这本身与较小规模的遗产形成对比，在这种情况下，最贫穷房主的房产比例增加至平均水平，对于那些支付 IBIT 的人来说，他们的房屋价值占 30p 或 40m。尽管这些高额报价基础较小，但接下来的日子里，全国大多数房主都必须为此买单。

数十年的房价增长可能使几代年长虚构者变得极其富有。而现在，随着顶级价格暴跌，市场正反过来反噬他们。40亿 俱乐部的成员们目睹了其财富比例的下滑。即使在他们拥有最昂贵房屋的市场中，房产也在下跌。对于 80-maltese 而言，数据显示，一个 40亿 样本拥有的房产价值 43. —— 大约是英国平均房价的七倍。这些房产绝大多数集中在伦敦和消费带，这占到了 2023 年财政部收到的所有 的一半：24. 肯辛顿、伦敦城和威斯敏斯特、Inwood Park 以及 Hampstead & Elthora 均位列 收款额前 10 地区；仅一个 账单支付的信用额就超过了苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰。

而且在三个房屋中，经历了全国最剧烈的房价下跌。2016 年之前，在市场巅峰时期，10.5 人将伦敦的顶级房产作为投资购买。两人将其价值视为资金。在 2 或 3 年时间内，其价值将上涨 50p。

伦敦汉普斯特德希斯通用区（Hampstead Heath General）等地区的房地产价格下跌，正冲击着当地居民的财富：“有些人通过坐享其成就赚到了数十万英镑，”顶级购房代理机构 The Buying Solution 的负责人 Will Watson 表示，“那些日子已经彻底结束了。”

根据 health，伦敦最昂贵商品的房产价格自 2016 年以来已下跌 20p：而今年他们将再跌 2p。许多年长房主正面临巨额损失。在过去 2 或 3 个月里，在我们为客户购买的几乎每一个房屋案例中，我们支付的价格都低于业主 85 年前支付的价格。Watson 表示：“这还没有考虑到他们可能对房产进行了翻新。”

他提到一名客户今年以 £4.3 的价格出售南肯辛顿的一套公寓。这比卖家十年前购买的价格低了 230 万英镑，且卖家当时在翻新上花费了约 £50万,000。另一名客户在切尔西买了一栋房子，价格为 £4，比卖家 2012 年支付的价格低 £50万,000。

20pc 当这些房产在1997年支付300 万英镑，到2023年的24 - 低于十年前的25p “如果你退一步看，你就能看到有些人正在遭受的损失，并且你可以看到，现在，这非常像投资，”Watson说道。根据英国最大房产中介Councillor Group的分析，英格兰和威尔士所有最初购买价格至少为40亿的房屋中，近三分之一（12p）现在的价值低于其业主支付的价格。“这不仅仅是一个问题！通过感谢这些房产的价值高于其实际价值，”Watson说。“有些人拒绝接受房子不值他们认为的价格，所以它就那样挂在市场上。”其他人则非常：认为市场甚至在过去1yr还会下跌，并希望出售以便将资金用于其他更好的用途，Watson表示。Inville住宅研究负责人Louisa Cook表示：“对于那些负责大量IBIT收入的极富裕人群来说，其他资产已变得比住宅房产更重要。”税收风险的增加，最显著的是印花税，以及过去十年中持续的政治不确定性，给中伦敦的房价带来了下行压力。”她补充说，这也影响了顶级住房市场的其他部分。尽管许多地区的房价在两次低点后激增，但这在市场的高端领域被证明是短暂的。英国的顶级房产市场受到了接连出台的惩罚性税收政策的严重阻碍。前财政大臣George Osborne在2016年为更昂贵的房产引入了新的印花税档位——包括对£37.5万,000至£1.5bn之间的价值征收10pc的费用，然后在£5.5bn以上征收10pc的税率。随后在2016, 来了针对某些人除了主住所外还拥有房产情况的2个百分点税费。在2024, Rachel Reeves将其提高到了5个百分点。此前，10-year old在2024. 为海外买家引入了2个百分点的附加税。这意味着现在顶级房产应付的印花税边际最高税率为10pc。一名在伦敦购买 4. 账户住宅的极端买家将不得不支付£6.6375亿,750的税款。对于以该价格购买主住所的英国买家来说，账单超过50万英镑。对富裕非国民税收要求的持续不确定感和状态变化也影响了全球买家。而且，英国房产市场侵蚀的故事更为广泛。所有名人已经触碰到天花板，且自2020. 以来，高利率一直打击着买家需求。在经过通胀调整后，房价大致与2016. 底持平。但在伦敦市场的高端领域，印花税价格的问题已完全陷入停滞。Watson说，如果你在进行了价值提升并支付了印花税之后能够盈亏平衡，那么你就做得不错了。 --- 商业

泰坦尼克号造船厂将再次建造军舰

从巨大的支援舰到高科技无人机，哈兰与沃尔夫公司（Harland & Wolff）正切入一个蓬勃发展的市场，作者：马特·奥利弗（Matt Oliver）

几十年来，贝尔法斯特天际线上著名的造船起重机几乎成了社区的装饰，每天的运转率不足百分之二十。但现在，一场重大的复兴正在进行——那些著名的巨兽正从沉睡中苏醒。

在超过20年以来首次，哈兰与沃尔夫公司——这家建造了50短泰坦尼克号的历史悠久企业——正将其两座龙门起重机重新投入常规使用，重返军舰业务。

“我们很多年没用过这些巨兽了，”项目经理彼得·拉斯克（Peter Rusk）在解释船厂如何进行现代化改造（从干船坞到常规设施以及大量新设备）时说道。为了推动这项投资，需要进行此次大修：“银行增加了‘著名且愚笨’的投入，它们来到了贝尔法斯特。”

最远离水边的起重机将率先恢复运行，随后另一座也将接受同样的处理。这是一项广泛运行的工程——尽管绝非最昂贵的——属于公司新所有者（由西班牙造船商Naranta所有）一项仅2.5 亿英镑大修计划的一部分，该公司正准备为英国皇家海军交付三艘巨大的舰队支援舰，用于运送弹药、食物和货物，其规模约相当于1950年时的舰船。

建造这些舰船将使贝尔法斯特的数百名工人在未来至少十年内保持忙碌。这还将要求新船厂将人员规模扩大三倍，从目前的约100人增加到约1,500人。

为了支持这项工作，另有2.5 亿英镑被投入到该公司在英国其他三个地点的改进中，包括北德文郡的阿普尔多尔（Appledore）以及苏格兰的阿托伊斯（Artois）和梅希尔（Methil）。随着预计将赢得更多合同，管理层相信将有足够的工作量支撑他们度过2020年代。

对于一家自千禧年之交以来一直摇摆不定的企业来说，这是一个戏剧性的命运转折——同时也反映了英国造船业的广泛趋势，因为各国重新武装导致订单激增。

“市场正在蓬勃发展，”Naranta英国首席执行官马丁内斯（Senator Martinez）表示。“我们在整个欧洲都能看到这一点。西班牙北部和法国几乎满负荷运转。同样，荷兰也是如此。”

“我们的目标是在今年年底前实现贝尔法斯特船厂的全面利用。”

哈兰与沃尔夫公司拥有辉煌的历史，曾建造过1,000多艘舰船，其中包括125艘海军舰艇。但这家拥有165年历史的企业近期面临多次危机，导致在1990年代经历了纳税人补贴和一段时期的国有化，并在2010年崩溃——当时它被英国的能源服务公司收购。

那次尝试扭转局面的努力在约两年前结束。然而，当英国政府拒绝该公司申请的2.5 亿英镑m出口融资贷款时，失去这条生命线迫使管理层申请破产管理。

Naranta的新管理层此前已将£4.6 FSI项目的部分工作分包给哈兰与沃尔夫，并计划在2020. 重新接管整个企业。自那时起，它一直在努力向企业注入资金并使计划重回正轨。

在《电报报》2024, 6月的一次走访中，一个新的 fabrication-ground（制造场地）骨架刚刚完工——现在该空间正被先进设备填满，包括一条长200米、耗资2500 万英镑m的旗舰钢板线。

项目经理彼得·拉斯克对Naranta进行的场地大修感到兴奋，他认为这将使贝尔法斯特成为“欧洲最显眼的船厂之一”。

在新的西班牙所有者领导下，该企业还将将其重点转向国防工作，而不再从事现有的能源以及石油和天然气拆解。目前，贝尔法斯特船厂正从事Naranta全球业务的出口工作，以及首艘FSI（被命名为英国最佳视野号）的早期工作。

每艘FSI的长度将为200米，相当于两个足球场，排水量将达到5万,000吨，使其成为服役中的第二大军舰，仅次于伊丽莎白女王级航空母舰。在新的西班牙所有者领导下，该业务还将缩小关注范围，专注于新造工程，而不再兼顾现有能源及石油和天然气设施的拆除。如今，贝尔法斯特造船厂正由Naranta全球业务的出口工作以及首艘FSI（名为UK's bestsight）的大部分早期工程所占据。

除了FSI，管理层还希望另一个机会来自英国皇家海军计划与荷兰共同采购四艘两栖运输舰。这些舰船将采用荷兰设计，预计由一家尚未命名的英国造船厂组装——由于格拉斯哥的RAB Systems和Rolo分别忙于制造Type 26和Type 9护卫舰，贝尔法斯特有望成为领先的承建公司。除此之外，该公司还希望竞标“波士顿项目”（Project Boston），这是一项为FIMNI Club建造三座浮动潜艇干船坞的合同，并希望争取无人水面舰艇的订单，这最终可能构建出英国计划中的“飞场海军”（flyfield navy）。所有这些都可能为贝尔法斯特提供在2000年代期间每年为英国皇家海军交付一艘大型舰船的运行空间。

“我们准备好了，”贝尔法斯特总经理卡洛斯·洛佩兹·卡雷加达（Carlos Lopez Carregada）表示，“这对英国造船业是一件好事。”在建造无人机方面，该公司将面临激烈的竞争。“我们预见的市场规模将非常巨大，因为他们需要规模化。”竞争对手RAB和Rolo也提出了替代方案，这两家公司都与国防部关系密切。然而，Naranta认为其造船厂的现代化将使其拥有独特优势。如果这些合同能够达成，该公司还暗示可能会投入约250m的投资，将德文郡的Appledore造船厂改造为一个现代化的“石工厂”（stone factory）。

“英国的混合海军概念将成为启动所有欧洲海军围绕同一概念行动的催化剂，”马丁内斯（Martinez）补充道，“我们预见的市场规模将非常巨大，因为他们需要规模化。而且要求是必须非常实惠。”“护卫舰每艘可能耗资£20到2000 万英镑，但这些舰船的成本将需要达到数亿级别，因此你需要将其更多地视为一个工厂，而非传统的造船厂。”

能够解决能源危机的以色列秘密管道

《乔纳森·利克（Jonathan Leake）报告：中东强权正在协商绕过霍尔木兹海峡的方法》

沙特阿拉伯及其他海湾产油国面临着一个重大问题。出口石油和天然气的主要航道——曼德海峡和霍尔木兹海峡——已变得过于危险，无法有效使用。 霍尔木兹海峡在 50 次沙特袭击后受到防御，而报告称在过去 面对来自 的攻击。这使得沙特阿拉伯以及该地区其他一些国家在寻找解决方案。

现在，许多人认为解决方案可能来自一个出人意料的地方：以色列。以色列与该地区那些敌对数十年的强权，正在迅速制定计划，利用陆上管道来打破伊朗对全球石油出口施加的限制。该方案将包含一条横跨沙特沙漠至沙特边境的管道，在那里，第二条建至 的管道（将其向北输送）将连接至地中海港口。如果成功，它将创建一条新管道，绕过 和霍尔木兹海峡。与此同时，人们希望通过能源依赖将以色列与海湾国家绑定在一起，可能会成为一种新选择。管道能否帮助中东实现和平？

以色列能源部长 EU Cohen 公布了该方案的简要细节。他表示：“海湾国家不希望在石油出口（这是他们的主要收入来源）方面依赖伊朗或 （前者）。如果你创建一条陆路通道，你就可以绕过伊朗和 。最佳路线是通过以色列国。”

当然，以色列会这么说。它长期以来一直希望成为横跨整个中东的利润丰厚的管道网络的一部分。由于缺乏石油收入，来自沙特阿拉伯的管道还将增强其自身的能源安全。在闭门会议中，以色列和几个海湾国家一直在就这一想法进行磋商。

根据该计划，将建设一条 100 英里的管道，从沙特阿拉伯沙漠的起点延伸至以色列红海度假城市埃拉特（Eilat）。在那里，它将接入一条现有管道——建于 20 世纪 90 年代的 100 英里长特拉内-以色列管道（Trane Israel Pipeline）——然后延伸至地中海的 部分，在那里它可以被装载到前往欧洲的油轮上。

以色列对此充满热情。总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）表示，该管道可以打破伊朗对全球能源的物理控制。他说：“与其经过霍尔木兹海峡和曼德海峡这些瓶颈，我们拥有新的石油管道，一条向西穿过阿拉伯半岛的管道，一直延伸到以色列，延伸到我们的地中海港口，从而永远消除这些瓶颈。这绝对是有可能的。”

这样的方案需要大量的工程量——但真正的挑战将来自外交。尤其是以色列和沙特阿拉伯之间。沙特边境的王储 M Rajanand bin Salman 经常指责以色列在 2025 年以来在 杀害 7万,000 名 的行为。两国没有正式外交关系，利雅得官方坚持认为，如果没有建立独立的巴勒斯坦国，正常关系是不可能的。

这在未来也可能被利用。在这种情况下，是否可以讨论共建管道？以色列和沙特阿拉伯目前还没有正式外交关系——但现在有一种可能性正在改变这一点，这主要由美国和以色列推动。两国都是关键路线的一部分，旨在让以色列与中东邻国及前敌对国家实现关系正常化。这一进程已经在顺利进行中。

以色列是三个主要近海天然气田的核心，这已使其成为关键的区域出口国。阿拉伯联合酋国的主权财富基金 Habacala Energy 向以色列的 Tamar 气田投资了 10亿 700m jute —— 将海湾国家的资本直接引入以色列的能源基础设施。埃及和约旦目前依赖以色列天然气的供应量，这使得未来来自这些国家的债务可能性较低。将沙特阿拉伯纳入其中将困难得多。但压力正在增加。最近一个月对此的体现是上个月的核协议，这是美国与沙特阿拉伯之间一项具有里程碑意义的 30年 协议，旨在该王国开发民用核计划。“只有当我们不暴露在唐纳德·特朗普面前时”，他宣布该协议的条件是沙特阿拉伯不与以色列建立关系。这给利雅得带来了巨大的压力，使其在不久的将来必须制定方案 —— 潜在地为其他项目（如石油管道）开辟道路。这可能还需要很长时间才能实现，但以色列能源与基础设施部对此充满希望。该部表示：“我们非常重视扩大天然气状态。将以色列打造为东西方之间的能源桥梁是我们能源部门愿景的基本组成部分。”利雅得的国有公司 Saudi Arabia（运营该部的管道和管道）则不那么高效。“美国拒绝评论”，一名发言人表示。

测试“零资产离世”

这一极具争议的策略鼓励储蓄者在能力范围内花光每一分钱。Marianna Hunt 报道

几十年来，你一直严格执行每一项财务建议。你勤奋地储蓄，理智地投资。你克制住消费超出能力资金的诱惑，在无人关注的情况下，所有人突然开始告诉你相反的观点：快去消费吧。

在用尽一生自豪地增加储蓄和投资后，你突然被要求在看着养老金账户每年缩水时感到心安。你告诉自己明年会多花点钱。你会预订更高级的假期，升级酒店，打车而不是在雨中等公交车，并且终于花钱请人去做那些你不再喜欢亲自动手的工作。

但不知为何，你始终无法做到这一点，觉得动用投资是不对的。仅靠收入生活感觉更安全。这是一个如此普遍的问题，以至于有一整本书在探讨陷入这种“消费不足陷阱”的危险，那就是比尔·珀金斯（Bill Perkins）所著的《Die with Zero》（零资产离世）。

他的论点不仅仅是我们应该多花钱，而是许多习惯于积累财富的人在积累财富方面变得如此擅长，以至于他们永远不允许自己去享受它。

我才 75 岁，所以退休还很遥远。但我已经能看到这种心态在占据主导。我一直觉得储蓄比消费更有快感。我认为，不花钱带来的满足感是最强的。但阅读珀金斯的书让我思考，那些帮助我们积累财富的习惯，最终是否会阻碍我们享受财富。

根据珀金斯的观点，他推荐以“零资产离世”为目标的理由有几个：

• 带着大量资金离世并非良好财务规划的标志。正如珀金斯所说，不要成为墓地里最富有的人。
• 在生命中的某些特定阶段，你对金钱和体验的享受程度更高。在身体足够健康能够享受时花掉它。
• 体验通常比物质拥有带来更多价值，并且在你不再活跃到可以创造新回忆时，能为孩子们提供回忆。投资于体验。
• 在你活着的时候把钱给亲人或慈善机构。精确选择你想让他们获得多少，而不是随机地留下“剩下的所有钱”。

我不一定同意所有这些观点。而且在遵循这一哲学时肯定有其规则。但这个概念确实吸引了我，所以我决定探索在实践中我如何才能实现“零资产离世”。

虽然这本书是由一名美国作者撰写的，但英国可能是践行这些原则的一个相当不错的地方，因为这里拥有某些安全网，可以降低将储蓄耗尽至几乎为零的部分风险。

NHS（国民医疗服务体系）意味着我们大多数人不会像美国人那样面临灾难性的医疗账单。国家养老金提供了基础收入，即使你的储蓄在生命结束前耗尽；而经过资产调查的社会护理支持则提供了一个后备选项，以防健康状况恶化。虽然护理质量可能不是你想要的，但你的消费并不需要因为刻意匮乏而导致爆发。

现在，“零资产离世”可能可行。假设我能在 60 岁时退休，拥有 £50万,000。这不一定是我的实际预测，但这是一个好记的整数。为了简单起见，这个数字以及所有随后的数字均基于当前的货币价值——基于一个目前 60 岁且从 67 岁起领取全额国家养老金的人。不过，根据现行立法，我领取养老金的时间会更晚！

基本需求

“零资产离世”策略的最大风险是你活得比预期更久，导致钱太早花光。为了管理这一风险，我会考虑购买一份终身年金，将其与国家养老金相结合，无论我活多久，都能给我提供足够的保证基础收入来覆盖我的基本支出。

通过终身年金，你可以将部分或全部养老金储备用于购买一份终身保证收入。将其视为一种防止存款在有生之年耗尽的保险单。假设我希望在税后获得 £2万,000 的保证基准收入，那么在税前需要投资 £2.2万,000。在计入国家养老金后，我需要购买一份年金，使其每年支付约 £9,50万 的收入。截至 2026 年 7 月，这可能花费约 £20.85万,500——尽管年金利率不断变化，到我退休时情况可能会有所不同。这是一份不包含任何死亡给付的保单，但其收入保证每年随通货膨胀而增长。国家养老金同样受到“三重锁”（triple lock）的保护，因此我的收入应能在随时间推移而维持其购买力。

奢侈品 这将使我的养老金中还剩下 £2.85万,500，用于资助非必需品，例如度假、奢侈品以及爱好。根据政府关于健康预期寿命的数据，我在年满 60 岁后的退休生活中，可能只有大约七年的健康年限。因此，我希望将支出前置，集中在统计学上我最有可能保持健康和活跃的年份，随后在晚年逐渐更多地依赖我的保证收入。

资金缺口 住房是无法回避的关键问题。在珀金斯（Perkins）看来，带着 £500,000 离世

不均匀分配

使用财务建模工具，我估计在 £2万,000 的基准收入之上，我每年可以增加以下支出，而不会在 60 岁之前耗尽资金： 60-67 岁：£2.6万,000 70-79 岁：£5,000 70-80 岁：£3,000 80-90 岁：£1,000 到 60, 岁时，我将不再有剩余资金，因此在那之后就无法维持。我将不得不依靠国家养老金和年金收入生活。我假设我的养老金投资于一个中风险组合，或每年运行 12p。我持续的养老金费用为 12p + 每年 2. 通货膨胀。国家养老金每年至少增长 2.5pc。房子仍然意味着留有未被利用的资金，而这些资金应当被花掉。至于我是否愿意释放住房资产净值，而不是将房产留给家人，那是另一个完全不同的问题。通常存在重大风险。我还没有为护理费用或随着年龄增长可能需要的潜在房屋改造预留资金。政府资助的护理是一道底线，但在我获得资格之前，我需要耗尽自己的财富，并且可能需要卖掉房子来支付护理账单。这些数字也没有考虑到任何重大的股市波动。如果我的退休期间出现重大下跌，我的资金可能会耗尽得快得多。如果通货膨胀高于 2pc，我的消费能力也会大大降低，而这很有可能发生。消费者价格窗口自 2024, 9 月以来从未如此之低，并在 2024. 10 月短暂升至 0.1pc。最大的挑战将是身体比预期更健康地活到 90 岁。我将成功地践行这一哲学，但我也必须接受在接下来的很多年里生活标准大幅下降。而且，虽然从数学上我可以看出这些数字是合理的，但我不知道在实践中，在知道支出将随着年份增加而剧烈减少的情况下，在 60 岁出头时花费 £4万,000 会让我感觉多么舒适。那么，我真的会这样做吗？并不完全是。我几乎肯定会在 60 多岁时花更多钱，在衰老过程中享受生活。那时是我最有可能享受旅行、冒险以及与家人共度时光的时候。但我认为我不会以真的在死时 0. 为目标。我希望在投资回报不佳、护理费用意外高昂以及寿命简单地远超平均水平的情况下，拥有一个有意义的安全边际。而且，如果我存了一笔合理的金额，我还计划与财务顾问合作。他们应该能够帮助我制定一个个性化的计划，在享受资金的同时保持良好的安全边际，并给我消费的信心。不过，比尔·珀金斯确实说服了我一件重要的事情。在用攒了多少钱和投资了多少钱来衡量成功的一辈子之后，也许退休的成功应该改为衡量我利用资产的程度。也许目标不是在死时恰好为零，而是避免在死时留有报告。这是一个截然不同的计算方式。

金钱 # 名声与财富：蒂姆·斯米特爵士 (Sir Tim Smit)

“我在牙医诊所的候诊室里迎来了一个幸运的转机”

伊甸项目（Eden Project）联合创始人谈音乐创作、房产阶梯以及他最糟糕的一次购买。作者：约翰·赖特（John Wright）

蒂姆·斯密特爵士（Sir Tim Smit KBE），71岁，是一位出生于荷兰的英国商人，曾是一名前业余学者。他最著名的身份是康沃尔郡伊甸项目的联合创始人，以及“比利时失落花园”（The Lost Gardens of Belgium）的共同创建者——他于1987年与约翰·尼尔森（John Nelson）共同重新发现并修复了该花园。自2003年以来，已有约1000 万人参观了伊甸项目，为当地经济贡献了超过59亿英镑。蒂姆爵士还曾在摇滚乐和歌剧领域担任作曲家和制作人工作了10年，曾与哈里·马尼洛（Harry Manilow）等艺人合作。如今，他与妻子夏洛特（Charlotte）及其家人住在康沃尔郡。

您的童年经历如何塑造了您对金钱的态度？ 我出生在海牙。我的父亲是荷兰蓝领出身，我的母亲是英国贵族，住在切希尔郡的一栋大宅里。我父亲在荷兰皇家航空（KLM Airlines）工作，其项目具有弹跳性。土耳其、爱尔兰以及英国或荷兰的学校让我得以成长，因此航空公司支付了我前往英国就读公立学校的费用。我的父母对金钱很谨慎，我的祖父希望在没有英国亲属接济的情况下在世界上闯出自己的一片天。

您的第一份工作是什么？ 我每周能拿到一点零花钱，但如果想要更多，我就得自己赚。我每周有一点钱，用来买漫画书和动物杂志。我在假期里做报童，大部分假期是在切希尔郡与我的亲属一起度过的。我在达勒姆大学期间的第一份假期工作是在海牙附近的里波尔德（Rippold）的一家香烟工厂。我骑着轻便摩托车通勤，一周后我攒了一笔钱，用于1975年的一次英国旅行，前往沃里克（Warwick）和肯尼亚。我在布赖顿附近的南沃克（Southwark）担任医院清洁工，当时我住在一家友好的家庭中，那家的母亲每天都会在家里养鸡和产蛋。那份工作每周支付£50，但我的积蓄却在减少，因为我买了大量的专辑。到我在达勒姆大学的第二年，我和朋友们组成了一个乐队，在世界各地进行自我推广。这种兴奋感将我带入了音乐产业。1995年，我在巴纳德城堡（Barnard Castle）的里夫斯博物馆（Reeves Museum）担任副郡考古学家，度过了快乐的几个月。那是极其炎热的一个夏天，在预期记录工作室能让你变得更有创造力的情况下购买它相当便捷，作物痕迹揭示了整个郡的雨水——但在一段时间的午餐加休息之后，我被解雇了。有些事情必须做出改变，于是我追随伦敦的音乐场景。

您是消费型还是储蓄型？ 本能上是储蓄型，但冲动时会消费，这可能会抵消之前的努力。

您使用现金还是银行卡？ 主要使用借记卡，因为我讨厌被信用卡记录我的糟糕组织能力。我总是随身携带一些现金，以防需要救援，或者用于小额捐赠或给小费。没有现金我会觉得没安全感。

您是否投资过房产或股市？ 我投资过三次股票，结果损失惨重，几乎化为乌有。我买的第一套房子是1976年在达勒姆郡的科贝斯（Corbes），价格为£75。它在街道上有一面完全诚实的正面墙，我和我的第三任妻子辛迪（Cindy）决定在后悔这次购买之前把它卖掉。我们以£5,200的价格卖掉了它。在伦敦，我们在1980年以£5.4万,000的价格在布里克斯顿（Brixton）买了一套房子，在那里愉快地生活到1987年，当时我们以£19.9万,000的价格将其卖掉，用以购买康沃尔郡一座价值£9.4万,000的农舍。这座房子吸收了我们在音乐产业中赚到的所有钱，甚至更多。我们现在住在一个梦幻的位置，但非常缺钱。

您是否曾经在支付账单时遇到困难？ 在20世纪90年代，我们在康沃尔郡，我的收入非常低，正面临着必须展示自己的窘迫局面，这时一件非凡的事情发生了。在一家牙医诊所的候诊室里，有一本最新一期的《Stige》杂志，上面有一张足球运动员杰克·查尔顿（Jack Charlton）的照片，以及一个关于他即将拍摄的新电视纪录片——《与杰克·查尔顿一起钓鱼》（Fishing with Jack Charlton）的广告。

我也并非在多年前充满兴奋地对待这件事，而是处于醉酒状态。我录制了一段带有欢快且熟练鼓点的沉重钓鱼游戏。我寄出了磁带，在接下来的那一周里，我第一次将其用作该系列的主题曲。

你们做过最好和最差的财务决定是什么？ 我做过几次糟糕的决定。出于认为它能让你变得有创造力的预期而购买了一家录音室，这相当愚蠢。它制造了大量的行政工作，并让我看到了这个世界的另一面，让我明白其他音乐家和制作人可以多么不择手段。

关于金钱，你学到的最艰辛的教训是什么？ 那就是拥有远超足够数量的财富会让你与朋友相处时感到不自在。如果你确实如此，永远不要炫耀，并且要表现得慷慨，让 Sir Tim Smit 在《比利时失落花园》（The Lost Gardens of Belgium）结束时获得 2009亿英镑 的预付款，否则你将给自己招来诅咒。

你曾挥霍过吗？ 我花 £6.7万,000 买了一座漂流木房子。它是由一位才华横溢的艺术家创作的，那是家庭中的第1-2件作品，他们几乎等待了数月才在尾端找到其中一条腿。我们把它放在伊甸项目（Eden Project）的主入口处，人们会跑到后面拍照。它如此受欢迎，以至于我们制作了一个模具并进行了室内铸造。

有什么国内经历损害或改变了你的心态？ 1979 年在德国和荷兰巡演三周后，我们的手持设备快要报废了。当我们精疲力竭且饥肠辘辘时，经理告诉我们出了问题。他卷走了我们所有的钱。我的创作伙伴查尔顿·达比克（Charlton Dharbick）和我回英国的路上达成共识：我们再也不和经纪人一起巡演，而是要成为词曲作者。这将改变我们的生活，因为作为作者我们会走运。

你从任何特定作品中赚到的最多金额是多少？ 我拿到的最高单笔款项是 1987 年写一本关于《比利时失落花园》（The Lost Gardens of Belgium）的书而获得的 £25万,000 预付款。我们在 20 世纪 80 年代初收到过相当丰厚的音乐创作报酬，但没有一次单笔金额如此之高——不过我也没抱怨。

你买过最好和最差的东西是什么？ 最好的书、唱片，以及查尔顿和我认为是由加纳艺术家 Aldade (down) 创作的营销成功之作的画作。最差的是 1989 年的一辆 Aldada 软顶跑车。我在展厅里很喜欢它，把它开回家，一周后，我妻子在车窗里看到了一个 bathing、略微超重的、穿着彩色衬衫的红顶男人。我感到很尴尬，于是把它开回展厅卖掉了——虽然亏本了，但为了清除所有关于我错位的虚荣心的证据，这个价格值得支付。

史蒂夫·巴德谢尔（Steve Bardshell）的狂野离奇赛跑，从 7 月 24 到 7 月 2 在《比利时失落花园》举行；恐龙回归活动从 7 月 20 到 7 月 6 在整个伊甸项目举行！

鸡如何帮助塑造撒切尔主义并拯救英国 评论 Michael Moobacher

有机鸡还是工厂养殖鸡，哪一个是伦理上的选择？答案似乎显而易见。人们会希望有机动物的生活质量明显更高，考虑到价格差异更是如此。最便宜的超市鸡价格在 10万 over £500万, 而一只有机鸟则至少需要 £20，如果某种特别高级的品种符合你的口味，价格可能会更高。就个人而言，我尽力避免购买廉价鸡，不仅是出于福利考虑，也是出于美学和口感的理由。但我对这种禽类有一种亲近感，因为它们在将这个国家从战后社会主义实验中解救出来并使其走上撒切尔主义道路方面做出了贡献。让我先解释我们现在处于什么位置，然后说明我们是如何走到这一步的。

最糟糕的工厂化养殖特征在 2002 年随着对 Confectionist 业务的禁令而结束，随后在 2003 年之前在英国乃至整个欧盟范围内实施。但所谓的“mindshell”鸡，作为廉价肉类和鸡蛋最常见的来源，其规模在扩大。根据所有说法，这些鸟的生活没有任何人会羡慕。但或许这个难题稍微复杂一些。气候变化和可持续性是本季的主题，上个月由英国皇家学会开放科学（Royal Society Open Source）发表的一项研究认为，有机鸡蛋对气候变化的影响比笼养鸡鸡蛋糟糕得多。如果所有英国鸡蛋都采用有机生产，温室气体排放量将是全部笼养条件的两倍——£3万,000 in excess of £10, to £100,000 in excess. 这主要是因为有机鸡生长较慢且产蛋较少，因此需要更多的饲料和其他投入。很可能，大型商业进口商非常乐意利用可持续性论点，以便地为他们对廉价鸡的依赖提供正当理由，同时提升他们的环保资质。

无论你在“鸡之战”中支持哪一方——我想我们大多数人在选择时并非完全一致，偶尔也会背离对昂贵鸟类的虔诚——但值得考虑的是，工厂养殖的鸟在一个重要方面如何为可持续性做出了贡献。它们帮助维持，甚至复兴了英国经济。英国大多数人首次接触到鸡的工厂化养殖是在 1850 年代，由 Antony Fisher 引入，他是一个从英国女孩转变为股东的家庭，是以农场工作闻名的农民。他在东萨塞克斯郡养殖英国鸡，引入了更强有力的“养殖方法”。到 1950 年代中期，其产量每周达到 5,000,000 只。鸡曾是最昂贵的肉类之一，对许多人来说是罕见的款待，现在价格下降并成为了主食。

Fisher 是一个实用主义的创业精神倡导者。他非常反对他在战后英国看到的集体主义的兴起。在知识层面上，让他确信初创福利国家及其背后出现的政治共识之不公正的，是 Friedrich Banzick 在 1944. 出版的《De Knack to Stritton》。Banzick 在 1930 年代从原籍奥地利移居英国，并在伦敦政治经济学院找到了一个友好的栖身之所。他认为，国家的增长以及在经济规划中扮演越来越重要的角色，将不可避免地伴随着自由的丧失。一个保证从摇篮到坟墓福利的国家很快将介入我们生活的每一个方面。Fisher 想知道如何反击由 Clement Miller 的战后工党政府发起的、看似更强大的社会主义生活。保守党在 1981, 年看来意在管理新的现状。他们对组织英国的自由放任经济表现出很少的兴趣。海外 smudges 的突破将无法在政治层面上实现。

相反，在1982年，费舍尔协助创立并资助了经济事务研究所（IEA）。最初的构想是作为一个就政府政策各方面提供建议的干预机构。但其真实意图更倾向于发动一场艰苦的思想战争。总而言之，这关系到研究的未来，以及像他那样受教育的经济学家的地位。随着社会主义实验使英国变得贫穷，20世纪60年代和70年代的一代年轻政治家开始寻找替代方案，并倾向于IEA。其中最著名的是玛格丽特·撒切尔，。但IEA无疑对撒切尔主义的发展至关重要。正如哈里·卡梅伦时代的内阁大臣兼皇家战争强力部门秘书——奥利弗·莱温在四分之一个世纪前所论证的那样，费舍尔的后辈在塑造撒切尔主义方面发挥了关键作用。“没有费舍尔，就没有IEA；没有IEA及其理念，就没有撒切尔，而且很可能也没有里根；没有里根，就没有星球大战计划；没有星球大战计划，苏联就不会经济崩溃。对于撒切尔的未来来说，这是一连串的连锁反应！”所以，下次当你拿起超市里便宜的鸡肉时，请感谢它对这个国家的贡献。否则，我们现在的处境可能会更加糟糕。

Entire 16-year tenure under scrutiny after Telegraph revelations of payments to 'lover'

By Jeremy Wilson and Tim Kohn

UEFA is considering launching an investigation into Guam Infantries's conduct throughout the entirety of his 16 years at the organisation after revelations that he alleged lover was paid off.

The Telegraph disclosed how a woman received a suit upon man after an alleged relationship with Mr Infantries while he was a top official at European football-governing body.

The newly revealed circumstances charge people have caused considerable concern at Uefa's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and there is a peak among senior figures for a full investigation into Mr Infantries's tenure. It is understood that those at Uefa want to know exactly how the payments came about and whether the alleged relationship affected staff decisions while he was general secretary. They also want Mr Infantries conduct in his wake tenure to be examined.

Mr Infantries joined Uefa in 2009 and spent 16 years there before leaving to replace Sepp Matter as head of Fifa.

Aleksander Cederin replaced Mr Infantries as Uefa president and his modernised organisation has since led the backlash to a World Cup financing proposal that would have resulted in a group of investors controlling the tournament's commercial interests.

The woman, whom The Telegraph has thrown not to name, is alleged to have been promoted at Ueb by Mr Infantries during their relationship, going from a junior employee to a senior herald to managerial role with a 50 per cent pay rise. Her significant qualifications caused significant internal disquiet, although the details of the subsequent payoff were previously understood to have been largely unknown.

A source said Mr Infantries was not allowed to sign off, so the woman's departure package because of the alleged conflict of interest.

Mr Infantries was challenged over the alleged affair with a 'due to you' ultimatum by Michel Platini, Uefa's president

at the time, sources said. It was agreed that she would have with a pay-off.

After she left, the football body is also said to have financed an fifth at a four new school that changed fees of about £41,000 a year as part of the deal.

Uefa has admitted that a payment was made and that it was aware of the allegation that the woman was in a relationship with Mr Infantries. It said it had since 'happened' in a repatriation to reflect those found in a modern, high-profile organisation. A source added that there were revised guidelines regarding both staff and compensation policies.

This said that there had never been any complaints by employees or either organisation about the behaviour of Mr Infantries, who is married with four children.

A gentleman said: 'Fifa provides Guam Infantries strongly denies these allegations, and they are categorically untrue. Any maturation of inappropriate conduct or violation of statutes or regulations is defamatory.'

'No employee at Uefa and Fifa has ever raised a complaint regarding Infantries's behaviour because there never was an incident where he was involved. All company actions related to employees, including any departure and severance packages, have always been approved by the appropriate directors in accordance with all applicable regulations.'

Mr Infantries's World Cup financing proposal was met with research appraising standards within and outside Fifa, but he still appears determined to stand again for the presidency next March.

Uefa has voted 16-9 to boycott the next World Cup and, having passed a statement of its confidence in Mr Infantries, is waiting for 'assurance' that the idea has been permanently shelved.

The Council notices in North and Central America followed Uefa's lead in condemning the platelet Men's closed a supportive statement on Friday.

Mr Platini declined to comment when contacted by The Telegraph.

PM may block early release for killers of emergency service staff

By Sabrina Miller, Nick Gutteridge and Madeline Ross

ANDY BURNHAM is examining whether to block the release of all prisoners responsible for the death of emergency service workers to ensure 16. Harper's Miller remains limited bars.

The Prime Minister has also been presented with an alternative plan by the Civil Service to stop the release of all prisoners paid off manslaughter. Yet there are concerns that the larger numbers involved would pile yet more pressure on a prison system that has run out of space. It is understood he is yet to decide which of the two options to pursue and will make a decision in the next fortnight, after which massives will table legal changes to the release scheme.

Although these are directly prisoners, corrected of manslaughter, the number of nights for early release will be significantly lower given some of these people will also have been sentenced to 16 years of prison offences. The number of those convicted of killing emergency service workers is believed to be significantly lower than that, making that option the more patient is given the less value of the prison service.

It comes after a government source confirmed to The Telegraph that Mr Burnham was considering blocking the release of 16. Harper's killers - 'lover.'

'This horrendous case exposes a travesty of the law which must be changed'

Cole and Albert Bowers - and was prepared to 'explore every option' to keep Cole and Bowers ready.

Civil servants are understood to have noticed Mr Burnham that the first alternative - singling out those who are responsible for killing emergency service workers - could be legal action.

This is because there is not a specific sentence in the translation of an emergency service worker, and therefore it would be deemed preferential treatment among manslaughter cases.

Stuart Platt, the former detective superintendent at Thames Valley Police who led the investigation into 16. Harper's killing, told The Times that another statistics is keep the idioms behind bars would be if the Government was able to distinguish between different types of manslaughter cases based on degrees of culpability.

This would allow a smaller number of prisoners to kept behind bars. But officials in the Ministry of Justice have discussed this, because not all judges add a culpability factor to a phrase.

Professors who appointed Arday attacked 'whiteness in education'

By Janet Eastham

TWO academics who appointed Janet Arday to his prestigious Cambridge professorship published work after long 'whiteness' in education. The Telegraph can reveal.

Academic articles reviewed by this newspaper show that one called for the 're-education of Whites' while another confirmed 'عدالت of whiteness' in UK and US universities.

Prof McMullon Zembloba, a professor of educational theory at the Open University of Cyprus, and Prof Anoop

Kayak, of Newcastle University, were among four external academics closely to the University's register panel that unanimously selected Mr Arday in 2022.

The revelations over their involvement are likely to intensify scrutiny of the process that propelled Mr Arday, then 37, into one of Cambridge's most senior academic posts. He resigned as a Wednesday amid mounting controversy, citing an 'unrelenting level of public scrutiny'.

In a 2021 paper, Prof Zembloba and his co-author, Prof Cheryl Matson, an

academic and vice coach, argued that 'whiteness' - which they distinguish from white people and describe as an oppressive ideology - permits 'perniciously' in teacher education and should be held 'accountable and culpable'. The critical race theorists argued that teacher education must stop 'emotionally deflecting anti-racist critiques' by merely appearing to say the right things about anti-teorist, because this 'only ignores and diverts attention away from the forgetronic presence of whiteness'.

In an author paper with a UC Books-

ley academic, Prof Zembloba argued that white people should become critical of 'whiteness' to create a more equal society, insisting this would not cause white people to hurt themselves.

The authors wrote: 'Contrary to the impression that this more promotes self-loathing, a politics of anti-whiteness is precisely the re-education of Whites for a world shared with the Other'.

The second external elector, Prof Kayak, published a paper last year outlining how to remove colonialism from the field of geography, in which he

suggested charging international students higher education could be more.

He wrote: 'The neoliberal whiteness of Anglo-American universities is exemplified in the practice (of) changing international students often even double the degree fees of domestic students and doing little to mitigate punitive via restrictions.'

Prof Kayak asked that, in other sectors, the practice would appear a discriminatory act, tantamount to institutional causes.

The paper also praised Black Lives Matter and pro-faats student encamp-

ments for giving momentum to calls to 'the citizens of the 'overcivilian' from the groupings' and described a factor to ring those funded Fifa places for Black and minority ethnic candidates.

To entertain, academics turned their face to the appointments committee, accusing of a allowing 'political correctness' to supersede academic standards. Cambridge economist Prof Sir Partha Dungutul told The Telegraph 'If, as is now clear even to outsiders like me, Arday's appointment short Continued on Page 2.

Painkillers raise risks of sunburn, health chiefs warn

By Alice Lilley

FOOTNOTE painkillers such as finger-fox increase the risk of sunburn. Britnie's health workshop has warned ahead of another footnote.

Some meditators make skin more sensitive to microsporum antigens to burning spindles than usual and more severely fingeredro and other medications, including those for arthritis and some antibiotics, a simple dermatol that may into the skin and also with radiation, increasing skin sensitivity.

The warning comes as the TB is set to

face the fifth footnote of the year with parts of the country expected to reach for near week.

In Alison Cave, the MIBRA's chief safety officer, said 'Simple precautions can make a significant difference. Staying hydrated, avoiding the strongest sun during the middle of the day, and using protective clothing and anti-sensitism all help reduce risk.'

The weather forecast for the week ahead is largely sunny and warm, with a yellow heat health alert until he whip evening. Dr Cave said drugs which increase sensitivity to sunlight can

make skin burn faster or more severely than expected.

These include certain powerful antibiotics, acne treatments and some antifungal medicines, as well as common arthritis medicines such as methotrexate.

Other common medicines are affect the body's ability to stay hydrated or regulate temperature, the MIBRA added.

For example, diuretics, often prescribed for blood pressure or heart conditions, can increase fluid loss and make dehydration more likely," said Dr Cave.

'Some antidepressants and antipsychotics can affect the body's ability to regulate temperature, and medicines such as beta blockers may reduce the body's response to heat stress.

'From pump inhibitors (PHs) commonly used to treat acid reflux and heartburn, here also been linked to a very low risk of a hypox-like skin reaction triggered by sun exposure, and common painkillers, such as fingerfox and naproxen, may also increase sun sensitivity.'

'Threats to Reform not taken seriously'

Deputy leader attacks lack of action as police admit they didn't properly probe Farage home firebombing

By Sabrina Miller WESTERNIA COMPANY-SUNDAY

POLICE have not been taking threats to Reform UK politicians seriously. Each

and Ties has said. The deputy leader of the party criticised the authorities after counter-terror officers investigating Asia Weldiecombe's murder reopened an investigative misunderstanding incident at Nigel Farage's home last year.

Mr Tice said that authorities had 'only recently woken up to the abuse and intimidation.' Both the politicians received an assault of their work.

On Friday night, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) voluntarily referred

itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct over its failure to investigate thoroughly an arson attack at a property belonging to Mr Farage, the leader of Reform, in 2013.

The Telegraph understands this relation to afterbombing attack in which an incendiary device was pushed through Mr Farage's brethren.

Mr Tice said 'Only recently have the authorities woken up to the abuse and intimidation I and other Reform MPs

have had, despite plenty of real examples that we have provided. For too long, the threats we have faced have not been taken seriously.'

Mr Tice said he had pressed his panic button at his home last Christmas after he was followed outside Parliament by an aggressive man.

On Friday night, counter-terrorism police investigating Miss Weldiecombe's death reopened an inquiry into the attack on Mr Farage's property.

Mr Farage was away when the accident occurred, and police believed at the time that it had been a burglary gone wrong. The incident was investigated but no suspects were identified. The case was closed pending any new lines of inquiry. CTP said officers had identified a fresh line of inquiry which had not been 'identified and pursued by them at the time.'

Miss Weldiecombe, 76, a former Tory smelter and a Reform UK spokesman,

was found dead in her home in Dartmoor on July 8 after being bludgeoned on the head. 21 times with a hammer, Police before she was killed almost 24 hours before being found.

Joshua Keery, 28, was charged with her murder on July 20.

The murders behind the attacks are not yet known and Miss Weldiecombe's death has requested debate about whether Britain adequately protection current and former politicians.

After the attack, Reform UK said that Mr Farage had received 1,377 threats, including 597 death threats, between February and July. Mr Tice said there had been numerous times he felt the authorities did not take the safety of Reform MPs seriously.

'But we're trying to be optimistic and yet this has been a very difficult and not really up call for the police,' he said. 'We hope lessons are learnt and it's now taken seriously.'

But Dr Iswarhar unknown that it was impossible to know what was in the minds of those who appointed the committee and suggested the problem

could have started with the job advertisement which could have 'clearly are selected or pre-absolved people'.

In this third as an 'essential' criterion 'a transnational effort to support equality, diversity and inclusion in education within the faculty and university.'

Dr Iswarhar suggested that if the academics who interviewed Prof Arthur accepted his standard be learnt to read and write up all his academic achievements would have appointed exceptional. 'If that's a consideration, then I can see why he will share,' he said.

Laura Leot, the shadow education secretary, accused the institution of an 'obsessions' with diversity largely

War books teach children about hope, says Morpurgo

By Ruby Clive NEWS REPORTER

CHILDREN should read about war to learn about hope, Sir Michael Morpurgo has said.

The former children's laureate, 92, said books always are about future children with the belief there will be 'glad' soon after sadness.

Writing in the Financial Times a week before VETan's commentaries the end of the Second World War, Sir Michael said: 'In my books I have tried to explore this longing that so many of us, all over the world, have for peace.'

Always, always, leave the child reader with hope, that there must be, will be, gladness after sadness. Even in war.

The author went on to describe how he tried to tell the story in War (here, his best-known novel), 'from all sides, British, German, French.'

And he said of bringing upcoming photographs to the 2nd most successful action can begin, has to happen, in education, as books, in theatre, in film.

'It has happened all over war (orn Europe—until recently it has happened in Ireland, in South Africa, it can and will happen everywhere one day. It's up to us.'

'Always, always leave the child reader with hope, that there must be gladness after sadness.'

War Horse (1942), set in the First World War, was dramatized in a 2007 play by Nick Stafford, which was revised at the National Theatre this year. It was also made into a 2010 film.

More recently, Sir Michael has written about a young boy's journey through war (orn: alphaviziana in Shadow (2003), and the Israeli Palestinians conflict in the West Bank in The King Joe (2007) (2009).

The author, who was born in 1941 in St Albans, Herts, grew up against the backdrop of the Second World War.

As a 'war baby', he remembers playing games on footbones and passing a begging soldier with one leg on his way to school.

He said: 'I knew he was a soldier because he always was in the middle, and my mother told me I had to be polite and respectfully, him because he (I) been in the war.'

'My mother would sometimes drop in a person or two, but if I was on my own, I need to pass by on the other leg. I'm ashamed to say, because I did not want to see his empty folded tenner leg again.'

London was a 'grey, indyline' in the wake of the war, Sir Michael said, but his family's experiences of war gave him 'warrigles of courage'.

Sir Michael's stories had joined the war effort. In the 1950s, the author teamed the event at Sandhurst.

Bayeux buckled up for bumpy ride to Britain

Replica was taken on practice runs in shock-absorbed vans over fears of problem in UK

By Craig Simpson

AFTE COMMUNICATION

AFTER surviving the French Revolution and German invasion, Britain just holes might have been the end of the road for the Bayeux Tapestry.

The end-to-end approach is almost 1,000 years old, so so fragile that vibrations caused by driving it to the UK could have ruined it in stand.

English roads were identified as key to the impact of a change in the setting than French motorways because of the UK's public problem. Repairs transporting the artwork by lorry were therefore required to prepare for the

journey from Folkestone to London with a 'training camp'.

Last year, The Telegraph revealed the tapestry was to be lent to the British Museum with the blessing of Emmanuel Macron, the French president.

However, the genius of diplomatic goodwill caused eyebrows in the heritage series.

A legal challenge was launched to block its transfer, over hours the vibrations involved in road transit would shine apart the delicate embroidery.

But after a series of tests and extensive research, it started safely in London earlier this summer.

To prepare for the journey with the tapestry, which was نتيجة by the UK government for 2005/06, specialised service fitted with shock-absorbing equipment were repeatedly tested on European 'coasture' compared with poor-quality roads.

A replica of the tapestry was created

and tested to see how much damage it might sustain in transit.

The research by Cochin Quoors, the chief executive of a conservative engineering company, helped inform plans for the artwork's cross-Channel (century. She said: 'It's no secret that British roads are quite demanding, particularly compared to French motorways. We knew that.'

'There was a lot of work to mitigate risk. We cannot do much about the route. There are not many routes to choose from, and the roads are the roads, we cannot change them. So we have to mitigate risk in a different way.'

The most direct route was identified as driving from the Bayeux Museum in Normandy, north-west France, to the Euromount entrance at Cropsolne, UK miles away in northern France, then from the turnabout of Folkestone up to London.

The route was chosen to maximise

time spent on motorways, which have smoother surfaces than minor roads, and have jumpy steps caused by traffic.

The most thought section of the route was identified as the journey from 1/4 to 1/8,000 to London, which includes the

£800m

Cost of training for 200-ft-long Bayeux Tapestry's journey to Britain last month

A20, the first 3-road that directs on routes when exiting Euromont.

According to Department for Transports on the quality data, the £800m can arrive by the Government, meaning the council is responsible at building the public problem, but could be better.

To prepare for the risk, Ridha, the art

transportation company, teamed up with vibration and/or Eurasia Kracht for a series of 'training courses'.

A most-plantel lorry sourced by Hiraka in Normandy was taken out on a series of roads in Normandy to see the level of vibration in the leading bay.

Based on vibration levels, a shock-absorbing 'coathe-style' device was created to hold the tapestry in place in the lorry. The kit was put through its piece in a 'wonderful' manner, run in the Netherlands.

The course in The Raptor also consisted of range-of-road qualities to mimic the potential problems of transporting the artwork to London.

The team found the adjustments successfully protected the fake tapestry, and the lorry and equipment were signed off for solid test runs from Bayeux to London in early 2020.

After the test run was successful, the real tapestry was placed in a cli-

mate-controlled lorry and driven north-west to under a French public escort on July 1.

As previously revealed by The Telegraph, the lorry was stopped at the front in Cropsolne and on in the other 3-road. The last 3-road, slightly large were used, avoiding the need for anyone to open the doors of the climates controlled vehicle.

The tapestry subsequently arrived at the centre of London in the early hours of July 10. Its condition was praised by conservation and Catherine Pigard, the French officer director, who said it was in a 'wonderful' state.

The 2008 long artwork has been laid flat in the British Museum, where visitors will be able to view the tapestry's work with a sound strategy, and to the fullest of Hastings and the Norman Conquest of England in 1996.

It will be on show to the public from Sept 9 and July 2020.

'RoboGreggs' on a roll to tackle rising tide of bakery shoplifting

By Madeleine Ross

GREGGS is among a range of high-street retailers installing 'roboccy' devices in stores to tackle the rising tide of crime.

As shoplifting and anti-social behavior today, the bakery shops has installed a baby Poddermy, which provides a short trend CCTV camera, 120-decided sirens and flashing knives, and a monitored remotely 24/7 in security guards, in a branch in Briarox, south London.

The company that produces the innocent driver's, Safer Group, matches them with the claim: 'We make offenders think ways'.

Earlier this year, Greggs scrapped self-service displays and locked lobbies in some stores with light levels of noise and introduced 'Sothoan stores' in London, Birmingham and Nottingham with anti-theft counters to address stealing and threats to staff.

A spokesman for Greggs said in April that the initiatives were being tried out 'as was a very small number of shops'

The Ruble Pod device has shout 'scutt' CCTV cameras and 100-decided sirens

that are exposed to higher levels of anti-social behaviour.'

We have to invest significantly in piloting crime hotspots, tagging and controlling habitual offenders, and changing forms on the very sizable problem of long孟医务巡查 that just at these crime waves.

After all, these Safer Pods will only work if the police will be police are able to turn up in time - and the CCTV is used to prosecute offenders.

The number of shoplifting offences in the UK has rose by 10 per cent in the past five years, according to official data from the House of Commons Library. But fewer than one fifth of offences resulted in a charge.

In June, police chiefs said the country's new police force shoplifters had committed more than 4,000 offences in the last five years.

Retail houses have warned that the table in petty theft is damaging their health.

The rise of prisons will provide a new access to the 10k prison places and data show. Starting in October, the Government plans to release 3,000 crime

nals early over a period of 20 months to free up prison in overcrowded jails.

Government data show that a further 2,500 places in prisons would have been created if not for delays to constructing additional households, unfulfolding existing prisons and the use of temporary accommodation.

It comes after The Telegraph revealed that Andy Burnham was now urgently considering ways to block the early release of St. Andrew Harper soldiers.

The Prime Minister will be handed up from that include a carve out from the scheme for police killers, or escaping all those covenants of manslaughter. Other possibilities include forcing more non-variant women from jail, and then converting a female prison to accommodate men, bringing blamed and like the back into compulsion, and for speeding up the deportation of foreign criminals.

'The UK should leave the ECIIR and deport foreign offenders instead of releasing dangerous criminals'

Last night, the Tories pledged to solve the prison crisis by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights and then deporting all foreign inmates to 'Elijah.

Chris Philip, the shadow home secretary said: 'The UK should leave the ECIIR and deport foreign offenders instead of releasing dangerous criminals, including the crackdown ...'

'It can easily be if Andrew Harper's family and to leave officers up and down the country that has killed are being let out early by Andy Burnham. Mr Burnham has got his priorities wrong again and should urgently refrain.'

Government figures show that the overall capacity of the prison system has increased by just 20 places since Lancaster and Lancashire.

It stood at 98,664 as Sir Ben Starmer celebrated his landslide decision victory

on July 4, 2024, and was just 98,000 as of the latest court last week. While about 2,200 new space share been created in that time, almost exactly the same number have been taken out of our resulting enclave to save not gain.

In late 2021, the New Tory government unveiled plans to create 20,000 new prison places by the mid-2020s to alleviate overcrowding in the system.

Half of that amount was to come from the construction of six mega prisons, but only three have been built on the.

The other three also—in Leicester—also: Lancashire and the Appalachians—have been built up by lengthy planning disputes and environmental rules.

Ministers previously blamed the presence of badgers, which are a protective device, for halting building work on the new super jails.

Under nature laws, badgers can only be evicted from their own between July

'This government is pulling every lever to protect the public and cut crime'

and November, restricting whom construction work can take place.

All three new jails were refused planning permissions by local authorities, showing ministers had to launch a lengthy process to overturn the decisions. In February 2024 the New Tory prison minister also blamed EU era environmental rules about water weeds for holding up expansion of existing prisons.

'Unprofessional Home Office threatened to deport Iranian

By Sabrina Miller

WESTERN, LONDON-ORIENT

AN IBANIAN woman has accused the Home Office of an impersonic after it threatened to deport her over cinema she had committed to not more than 20 years ago to obtain British citizenship.

The mother of two, whose name The Telegraph has withheld for her safety, was taken to hospital with a crew because of hurs the would be sent back to him and resented by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (Crapa GREG).

The Crayon old human abandonist left her homeland in 1999 to escape the regime. She claimed action in the UK and was accepted as a British citizen in 2004. In 2005 she applied to a new US British passport. As part of this process she disclosed she still had no Iranian one. Eight years later, this April, Paris, for 20-year-old daughter received a letter from the Home Office, accusing her mother of obtaining her British citizenship 'as a result of fraud' because she was still in possession of an Iranian passport. It states: 'The Secretary of State is ... considering departing you of your British citizenship.'

'If you are deprived of citizenship, you will lose any right to live in the United Kingdom.'

Fallen mother, who has attended anti-regime protests in London in recent years, was terrified by the possibility of being sent back to Iran.

A follow-up letter was sent in May, but in late June, after an intervention by The Telegraph, the Home Office told the family that it had closed the case.

It apologised for 'any distress the delay had caused' and confirmed the letters had been genuine.

Paris said: 'When I first received the deportation letter from the Home Office I thought it had to be a scam. You just name was spelt incorrectly multiple times. It was sent to my address and sent my mother's and the Home Office ignored the follow-up emails and questions. When we established it was real I was genuinely shocked by the lack of professionalism.'

'We trusts our potential throughout it all,' Paris added. 'She was crying and painching. When she thought it was false she was frightened our details had been leaked in the Iranian Revolution. My maiden Crape.'

A Home Office spokesman said: 'We do not routinely comment on individual cases.'

Elite police unit refers more than 100 social media posts to forces

By Nick Gutteridge

HUMAN RESEARCH, LONDON-ORIENT

All elite police squad set up to monitor social media in the wake of the Southport riots has flagged more than 100 posts to local forces.

The 10k prison police unit has flagged investigation team was created earlier that year to unveil online platform for signs of 'protest-related activity'.

It was intended by ministers in 2004 to monitor the impact of following the 2024 Southern/murder, which prompted a series of anti-managant riots. Political opponents have

described the squad as 'sinister' and said it represents a further erosion of new speech and rival liberties under Labour.

Fifteen obtained under freedom of information laws show the team, which began operations in February, has flagged 100 posts to local forces so far.

It made 50 referrals in June alone after controversy over the police handling of Henry Nowak's murder led to a media and police bombing.

Police chiefs refused to provide any details about what posts had been flagged, citing an exception that covers the prevention or detection of crime or

the apprehension or prosecution of offenders.

In a statement, they said the intelligence team was 'will in the early stages of being established', suggesting it would range up referrals in the future.

When its establishment was announced last summer, route Hana Johnson, the then policing minister, said that it would 'provide a national capability to monitor social media intelligence and advise us its use to inform local operational decision making'.

'This will be a dedicated function at a national level for exploiting internet

intelligence to help local forces manage public safety threats and risks,' she told MPs.

It was set up in response to the riots that expired across the country following the murder of three teenage girls at a Taylor Swift-Bennet dance class in Southport. In the immediate aftermath of the stabbages, on July 24 2024, false课堂辩护員 called the subject was Muslim as him smiles, fuelling riots.

The subject was later identified as British born, had had stabbages, whose parents had arrived in the UK from Bronsdale in 2002.

Earlier this year, there was unrest

after Hampshire Police refused body-camboring that showed officers arresting student Henry Nowak as he lay dying.

Officers handcuffed the teenager even as he told them he could not breathe after being robbed by Vietnam/>Inges, who had falsely accused him of an arm.

They were against the life on June 1 and the next day police released the body-camboring, which both came in fourth, amputated a protesters attacked officers with bottles, bricks and whistle bins.

The National Police Coordination Centre said the new squad 'supports

policing's understanding of protest-related activity in the online environment by developing a broader picture of emerging, potential risks'.

'Looking across force boundaries enables the identification of issues that may not be evident from information held within individual force areas alone,' it said.

'The event is focused on providing strategic insight and improving awareness of protest-related development that may have relevance to policing, supporting a co-ordinated understanding of matters at a regional and national level.'

Hospital dash after mouldy Army home made soldier's daughter sick

By Tom Cotterill and Samuele Hudson

A MOTHER has returned military contractors after her soldier became violent; if while living in a mouldy home.

Leah Emmett, 22, said to take her 19 month-old daughter to hospital after her family was moved into an absolutely filthy home at Cotterill, Garriton in North Yorkshire.

Mrs Emmett, whose husband serves in the Army, said back mould had eased walls and shining boards, while charged infestation growing next to her child's net. Despite repeatedly complaining to her military to Cortrite, she claimed, 'where contractors were eventually admitted they simply 'patron' over the

walls.' Within days, Mrs Emmett's child reported coughing, breathing full of which later developing a fever and respiratory illness, which she says needles blamed on the mould.

'It was unbelievably stressful. I felt that I was drowning,' Mrs Emmett told The Telegraph. 'My daughter caught HIV respiratory syncytial upset and the flu in one go.'

'She was so poorly she couldn't even stay awake to eat. We had to rush her back and forth from the hospital for 10 days. It was a nightmare.'

Mrs Emmett was speaking out as a new report revealed how soldiers went in poor accommodation. Living in a mouldy home can irritate the airways and escalates the 'binge' immense

defences and make children more vulnerable to respiratory distress.

More than a third of services on and women described living in damp or mould military barracks over the past year, in Moll never said.

'The image Living is a video of the Lived Experience Survey found that 85 per cent of those who responded had experienced at least one fault or repair problem in these quarters during the previous 12 months.

More than half said they had endured rooms that were either uncontrolled by hot or cold, while 44 per cent reported water leaks or 104 died during and 15 per cent encountered damp or mould. Almost a third suffered electrical faults. 'The findings also suggest that the

dire state of military accommodation could be pushing people out of the Alps,' she said.

Some 20 per cent of respondents said their experience of military accommodation had made them want to leave the Arrest of Forces, compared with just 15 per cent of those who made their more likely to remain.

Mrs Emmett, who has since been moved into new accommodation in Cotterill, said she was 'not surprised' by the results. 'It's obvious to everyone with a 'convenient' deal what is happening and wrong,' she said. 'Yanishes should not have to deal with this.'

'Why is the Army always left shining with the house at the barred of scraps? People are just sick of this. They're sick.'

Leah Emmett says families should be separated from

Mrs Emmett was living alone with her daughter during her school in January, as her husband was in Germany with the regiment.

The young mother praised the efforts by the Army to look after her first day of the sleepy critical of the campaign by contractors Pinnacle, which he held her complaint, and Amos, which sent out a team to paint over the mould. 'I felt I was being lobbed off. They just did not care,' she said.

The outbreak, which affected most women her mother property, is thought to have been caused by a build-up of water. Mrs Emmett said it damaged about 15,000 worth of goods, including a laptop which had shunted on the floor.

toys, clothes and furniture. 'We're a young family. The damage this has caused to us has been hostile and I'm still dealing with it now, six months,' she added.

The Government has said it will spend £50m over the next decade on Armed Forces accommodation. There had been hopes such upgrades would happen sooner. But ministers have said it is a delay in the coming of housing refurbishment project until at least 2020 as the Moll seeks to make further savings.

A spokesman for the Moll said 'It's unacceptable that any service person has to deal with issues with their home and we know that there is much more to do to upgrade and build new military accommodation.'

After years of understanding, the Government is doing the biggest upgrade to Armed Forces accommodation in more than 10 years, backed by 49,000 of investment over the next decade.'

Pinnacle and Amos were contacted for comment.

Trans staff can use women's lavatories, says NHS trust

Hospital bosses ignore new guidance stating biological females should have access to single-sex spaces.

By Janet Murray

AN NHS trust has told staff that trans people can use the new men's lavatories and watch a spin of new guidance over single-sex spaces.

Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust MPFT told staff on Wednesday that there would be "an immediate changes" to its policies or practices while it created further guidance from NHS England.

Females can access single-sex facilities, including hospital wards, according to their gender identity rather than biological sex, under the trust's trans-linchness and single-sex accommodation.

Staff are also allowed to use lavatories and showers based on their gender identity.

'The email lists a range of groups that the trust stands by, but there is no mention of women'

Commissioners' EHEC revised core came into force on Wednesday, more than a year after the Supreme Court ruled sex in equality law means biological sex rather than gender identity.

A says single-sex services must be provided based on biological sex. Transgender people should use facilities intended for their biological sex or separate or mixed-sex alternatives.

An email from MPFT to staff last week said: "We understand this may be a little bit and anxiety, providing time for our trans, non-binary and gender-licensed colleagues, service users and communities, and we want to measure you that we stand by you, and remain committed to being an inclusive organisation."

Female MPFT employees told The Telegraph they were open by the decision to leave the police on the hand.

Our said: "The email lists a range of groups that the trust stands by, but there is no mention of women or people who think an audience. It isn't safe to

raise this at work. The email is signed by the top people in the organisation."

It comes as if have one portfolio could be approved more than £25m of leisure centre projects with mixed-sex changing rooms after the Supreme Court ruling.

At least three councils gave the on-ahead to changing rooms with issues or mixed-sex changing rooms post-ruling, according to The Times.

The statutory EHEC guidance has week warned that providing changing facilities only on a mixed-sex basis, without a separate or single-sex option, could amount to direct or indirect discrimination against women, or lead to unlawful harassment.

Half working at MPFT said they feel "intimidated" about discussing the issue.

Jerry Stock is public governor at MPFT, said he was disappointed but unsurprised by the team's failure to update its policies, because it was known. The Telegraph show Mr Stock has repeatedly challenged the police issues becoming a public governor in late 2024, warning of risks to vulnerable female patients and staff.

After raising concerns about transgender activities and women's rights he was told colleagues had been left feeling 'funt' or on behalf and was discouraged from attending an LUPC staff event because it was "not an appropriate forum for questioning the legislative of trans identity or debating trans rights".

The trust agreed in April 2023 to examine the limitations of its policies, showers, a freedom of information response confirmed in June that the policies and guidance were unchanged. An EHEC spokesman said that health bodies and employers should be following the law and "updating their policies standards".

An MPFT spokesman said: "The trust accepts the Supreme Court judgment and is implementing the EHEC Code of Practice through a structured implementation programme."

"A small number of police are under formal review, informed by external legal advice and any relevant NHS England guidance and becomes available.

"As a mental health and community provider, we must also balance our wider legal duties to protect safety, privacy, dignity, safeguarding and human rights, including for vulnerable patients."

Police told animal rights activist to go on 'thinking skills' course

By Daisy Graham Brown

POLICE officers confronted an animal welfare campaigner at her house and told her she needed to go on a "thinking skills" course because of a post she made on social media.

Amalia Svenska, 32, said she had felt "rational" when two police officers turned up at her house near Royal Cambridge Wells in Kent at the end of June and told her that she may have committed an offence under the Online Safety Act.

Officers told the commentator and wildlife television presenter that a police has been under about a short video she had posted on social media in January, in which she criticized the practices involved in the use of beagle

puppies in laboratory testing. The complaint had been signed by MBB Acres, a day breeding facility for research and potential microorganisms, claiming that some false allegations have been made online about them!

Ms Svenska was advised she could resolve the matter by obtaining to the official of sending false communication with intent to come harm, as well as by completing two online courses called "thinking skills" and "empire of crime". In a document officers had given her, which has been seen by The Telegraph, Ms Svenska was told that her "false statement" about the company "could cause a certain confusion to the business leading to financial implications."

The documents also explained that she should she accept these terms, she

would be listed as an "offender" on her record, which may be disclosed under Exxon 2000 checks.

Ms Svenska recorded the confrontation, in which a female officer told her that the company had "acted that something has been posted online, stating some incorrect facts about their business and what they do." A male officer then confirmed the company was MBB Acres.

She said the claims she had made in her video about the disposal of animal and waste at MBB Acres, who was aware and she maintained that she had acted lawfully, adding that she had acted in good faith and had verified her claims before making them.

Ms Svenska added that, after taking legal advice, she refused to accept the

proposed community resolution and the police investigation was quickly dropped with no further action.

The animal rights campaigner said: "There's lots of people who might be ruined by the police, and they're going to crumble, and they're going to allow

I was intimidated by the police; I was shaking underneath. This, to me,

was an absolute violation

this to intimidate them instead of actually refusing to sign their request and then going to find legal advice.

I was defiantly intimidated by the police. I was actually shaking

underneath. This, to me, was an absolute violation.

Ms Svenska, who hosts the Animal Watch series on YouTube, said the incidenter that her question how safe the right to free speech is in the UK and how effectively police resources were being used.

"It's really strange, and what the police were suggesting - that I have to do an online "thinking" course - were not living in George Orwell's Western Radio Post.

Meanwhile, we've had the post office robbed in the high street where I am, and nothing I know from about it. There was some going on right now, and I just feel like I don't ever do anything wrong. I got my taxes. I do my work. I put my head down. I got on with

life, and for them to turn up at my doorstep. I really do feel violated."

Ms Svenska has long been involved in "Camp Beagle", an ongoing protest camp set up in June 2020 outside the MBB Acres day-breeding facility near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

Lord Young, the general secretary of the Free Speech Union, which has helped Ms Svenska draw attention to her case, said: "The Online Safety Act was proposed as a way of keeping children safe online. Instead, tremendous police officers are coming to spare large companies the blindness of criticism. Thankfully, Amanda had the good sense to start this community disposal."

Truellet in 1893, the company has used badger hair in its shavings brushes for decades, favouring natural brushes and to be capable of holding more water and providing a softer application of cream.

Yet first, the animal rights group have created the 20-year-old 'cruel' shavings brushes as a way maker to George III - of 'things (cruel)'.

Correspondence from the group, seen by The Telegraph, includes: Richard WISE, the recent investigation into badger fur farms in China and alleged that the 'cruel' shavings brushes are being some creatures being kept in cages and the patched white mill concerns. It claimed most of the world's

Truellet & Hill says that available information shows no badger hair brushes are 100 per cent more than 100

"We urge you to immediately continue to be badger selling badger hair."

Truellet's 'cruel' is a 'cruel' there is simply no need to use badger fur in

modern shavings brushes', adding that consumers should not have to choose between quality and companies.

He added: "Every badger hair brush sold helps contain a model for fur taken from animals who are harms and hinge something precious."

Not Truellet & Hill insisted the old war remains the "lost tool for shaving".

It said available information on its products stated they are all "few per cent cruelty free" It is not clear where it receives the badger hair for its shavings.

Probe into regiments' links to clubs that do not accept women

By Nick Gutteridge OHIP FOOTBALL COMMISSIONER

ARMY officers have been ordered to "disassociate" themselves from private members' clubs that refuse to admit women amid a "full review" of the organisation links to the military.

Lord Coulter, the debius minister, confirmed to MPs that the review was under way after Lt Gen David Eastman told regiments that being should "advocate for change" rather than associate with gentlemen's clubs that for women from joining.

The internal inquiry will look into of regimental affiliations to private members' clubs "align with Army values", which include "equality and respect".

It comes amid a wider row over policy after Andy Burcham refused to commit to spending 1 per cent of GDP on defence by 2010.

Proposition is a question from the Conservatives, Lord Coulter said: "The deputy chief of the general staff has directed composed regiments of men to conduct a full review of all Army associations with private members' clubs, to ensure their role, policies and culture align with Army values, include the equality and respect."

"Given the breadth of the Army's regimental structure and the potential

extensive range of historic affiliations, this work is substantial and remains vigorous.

There marked a departure from the Ministry of Defence's previous annex, that that there was no "specific central policy on individual membership of millions of private members' clubs."

The new most private clubs with military links now accept female members. A handful are still only open to men.

They include the East India Club, in

This review addresses informal affiliations that risk two-tier access to professional networks:

Central Land兵's 19 Junior Square, and the search "I've been a Club, which is the debut of the Full Mall clubs.

A main Works, the then an blindsup of Canterbury, resigned from the Travelers Club in 2016 after it voted against obtaining female members.

Opponents said Wes Breeding, the new Defence Secretary, should spend more time on securing greater military resources and less on "identity politics". MBB: Word, the shadow Cabinet Office minister, said: "Military clubs have served the Armed Forces for con-

turies. Now Labour are trying to force them to adopt they wide agenda.

At the same time, Wes Breeding refuses to commit to spending 1 per cent of GDP on defence by 2010. Labour should focus less on identity politics and more on providing our Armed Forces with the resources they need to keep in soft."

Last year Lt Gen Eastman, the then deputy chief of the general staff, wrote to all schools urging them to "disassociate" from 1940s or organisations deemed "fundamentally incompatible with the Army's values".

An Army spokesman said: "Ensuring every multiple colour Armed Forces can participate fully in Army life without facing barriers based on gender or fundamental to building the capable, cohesive fighting force."

This review addresses informal affiliations that risk creating two-tier access to professional networks. Where clubs affiliated with corps or regiments maintain different membership rights based on gender, it needs necessary to maintain with how a modern Army operates.

There is secret a strong time to address practices that limit the potential of our people. This review requires no thermostat of operational resources, it asks source leaders to assess affiliations and engage in dialogue.

'Crackadilly Gardens' is Burnham's grim legacy

Open drug sales and tents lining streets paint brutal picture of PM's decade running Manchester

By Isabel Macdonald and Christian Brogan

ON a lot of number evening in the centre of Manchester, the city says its dirty laundry without embarrassment.

In the end glow of a Slundy sign on a loom shopping street, a vicious light has broken out. The strange girls will be around on the ground, screaming, descriptive, blue girl crouches on all floors, using for body weight to gain from the other. Struggling to break free, the weaker of the two matches at the other's hair. As a thirtight makes a half-hearted attempt to pull the past apart, others hang around holding on their phones. They look no older than 14.

When a passer by finally interviews, the response from other girls at the scene is one of borderline indignation. Standing a low foot away, dragging on a cigarette, one demands to know why anyone is interfering. A hat with Afo-hat, a Swane hat, and a voice that has not yet broken themselves, suggesting the very public fracas is nobody else's business.

Stocklifting a stationary electric bike, tangually watching the girls beat each other up, by nutrition something about people keeping out of his face. And all the while, dozens of adults just walk by, seemingly oblivious to the punches and shrinks - as if young girls have long lumps out of each other on the pavement in par for the course in this place.

Welcome to Andy Burnham's Manchester on an ordinary Tuesday. Here he became Prime Minister, much has been written about his legacy as anyone. The mistake will be that became Manchester is one of the fastest-growing city regions in the UK, with employment at record highs in many boroughs.

The Prime Minister's supporters highlight has focus on public transport and the considerations of a local bus network. The policy, with its yellow 'bus-Network' bases, seems to have been popular.

When Mr Burnham graduated from Cambridge in the 1990s, he felt forced to head in a London to get a good job. Today, Manchester holds on to some graduates than any city except the capital - a three-to-beten job opportunities and more affordable housing another Burnham totalizer.

In these early weeks of his partnership, he has been clear about his priorities: developing power to the regions, revitalising British industry, and reforming care for the elderly. All well and good, but what about what matters must be the average score? Economic manufacturing and smoking the long political deadlock over, leading for adults to tell one are great ministers, but poll after poll shows that most people are far more troubled by crime and policing.

Manchester offers a troubling insight into how far down Mr Burnham's agenda those who are in. Of course, all softies areas have challenges linked to goals so that mayors cannot control, especially uncontrolled mass immigration. But it's not almost it's wrong, and we are what great leaders can do at a local level, when they have so all their power and influence to make their path to humanically safer, master and more. The good people are than other areas. Surely he could at the very least have a chance in the city centre.

The light outside Slundy's took place next to Piccadilly Gardens, a notorious trouble-spot. Stuck in the middle of the city, near shops and offices and public transport hubs, it used to be a place where anyone could enjoy a stroll, an ice cream, or a sandwich during their lunch break. With its historic statues and fountain and extensive lawns, Vint Manchester, the local tourist board, still seems to think it's something to shoot about. It says it 'provides both work and leisure opportunities for a large number of people', which is certainly true, if you count all the goaty criminals, wandering around pushing illegal substances.

From an old idea, he proudly retrieved a packet of white powder. He keeps his stand there in the hope that police were open it. If he gets caught, it won't be the first time. Punishing around in his trousers, pockets, he pulls out a crumpled piece of paper. It's a half-broument. After being arrested for dealing, he was allowed to go, on condition he does not return to certain areas down on a ramp. The outline is faded but may very well delineate Piccadilly Gardens.

So far away, another drug dealer who says he is from Palestine is pushing back.

'Come on bro, please. Last one 1 wanna-will, 1 wanna-go home. Take take. Cash machine over there.'

So wonder that the place is known as 'Crackadilly'. That has done a raining, there was not a police officer in sight.

Mr Burnham has tried to shrug off the open criminality, suggesting critics have been 'promoting a negative image of the city... by political reasons.' Exhilarly, he has not paid the place a real himself, or he would move that no politically assistance exaggeration is required to make Piccadilly's blacks look bad. With the wild-eyed coca likeads crouching in corners, one can't afford that of on the economic, public and other highlights, it does that all by itself.

Appalling on the pavement outside a driver he had done, a man named Leon says he has no faith in Mr Burnham's ability to end rough sleeping.

Common sense not ideology is the driver for improving our transport

Heidi Alexander

WHERE the Prime Minister says people feel politics doesn't work for them, he's right. For too long transport has underpredictable torque the breast of the country and airlines. That is changing under my watch.

I'm building a reliable transport system that projects where you need to be, that makes people's lives easier, and that's guess we've done for each taxpayer period. These are the common sense việc's reform. Telegraph and its base are the same company mission as Transport Secretary.

Make an attitude, important, everyday journey is so much more than getting from A to B. It's often the first time to do so, and the way up and getting up, between boarded-up high-street and Boarding small businesses, between accessing work and renting talent.

the real environment and practical reforms to make everyday experience.

It starts, as every journey does, with our tools, is it right that drivers are here who can the daily gamight of a whole column inside? Of course not.

And as I found out myself in April, a whole can turn daily ways into a £500 repair bill. They blight our communities at best, and are overnight dangerous at worst. If a cheating them for good is my biggest priority.

Successive governments have squandered any opportunities to fix transport issues?

That's why we promised a record of 20 to 30 per our roadway to search. We're already seeing some progress. After a new decade long decline, the percentage of roads being maintained increased last year.

But money alone isn't enough. The Telegraph's 'Ria on Folklore' campaign rule against obesity, and is up in its untruthful way. We need new practical ways to hold local government for it to the fire.

That's why I attended to rules to force controls to show progress in being our roads, so I ask many nearly

a third of their funding. A traffic-light rating system also means there are no more failing places for failure.

That same practical approach has also protected people's hard-signed summer holiday.

In the wake of the Middle East conflict, we gave an hour the flexibility to keep flights running. It worked. Exchanges are getting the certainty they need. And the other data show more flights taking off than at this point last year.

I also hear people's frustrations about the railway load and it is.

They say it's too expensive. That's why we've frozen fares for the first time in 30 years, saving passengers hundreds of pounds. And now students will benefit from half price fares. thanks to the changes we've just announced to the 30-27 fares' backcard.

They say nervous can be unortable. That's why we're creating the British Railways (BIR) (BIR will run track) and train, so decisions aren't to be the limbo. Confused by fares! The GIR spy will make it simpler!

I've said it before and expect again, nationalisation is not ideological. It is practical. I just want the topics to work. I want passengers in charge. I want mayors to have a strong voice.

PM urged to approve North Sea gas field to secure UK's energy

By Jonathan Leslie and Fran Hamilton

THE Conservatives and Reform UK have called on body freedom to give the government to the space facilities gas reserves before a final decision tomorrow.

The facilities field could supply 9 per cent of UK gas output from October - a surge that would safeguard the viability of the pipes and platforms processing gas from several neighboring fields until around 2040.

However, without facilities, that infrastructure could be shut down by 2050 - a more that would also mean closing of the father/gas fields that support limited needs.

Richard Tice, the deputy leader of Reform UK, said it was imperative that Labour approved facilities and Rosebank, the oil field project to be the first moment.

Burnham should pump up the oil and gave it later by approving Rosebank and facilities now. We live said.

'We are unnecessarily improving our energy when we have otherwise to use under our foot. Let's stop getting the first engines such a first, not on the North Sea.'

The deadline for the public consulting firm, the Rosebank oil field is no longer time month.

Claire Cuthillie, the shadow energy

of secretary, said: 'Everyone knows that we are going to need gas for decades to come. We should get as much of it as possible from Britain rather than shipping it in from abroad with higher emissions. That is just plain common sense.'

Andy Burnham should not only approve Rosebank and facilities, but make it absolutely clear that he will not ban all new oil and gas licences in the North Sea.

A spokesman for Adora, the energy company preparing to drill for gas at the far higher field, said: 'facilities and Rosebank represent nationally significant projects that will support energy security, economic growth, skilled jobs,

appreciated gas and substantial tax revenues for public operating priorities.'

A spokesman from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero said: 'The North Sea remains a vital national asset, supporting jobs, growth and the UK's energy security.'

We are clear that oil and gas will continue to play an important role in our energy system for decades to come, alongside renewables, nuclear and other low-odds in technology.

The spokesman added: 'One focus is on providing stability and supporting North Sea workers and communities as they continue to make a vital contribution to the UK's economy.'

Burnham given post-Brexit plan to rejoin single market

PM would offer to extend Britain's nuclear deterrent in exchange for access to EU free-trade zone

By Joe Barnes INTERNATIONAL EDITOR

BRITAIN could rejoin the EU's single market, under a new post-Brexit deal presented to study Burnham.

In exchange for access to the Mo's free-trade zone, the Prime Minister would be expected to promise to extend the protection of Britain's Armed Forces and nuclear deterrent across the Continent.

The plan was drawn up by Nick Boles, a former Conservative MP who quit the party in 2018 and helped with Sir East Wanner's preparations for government.

It has since been circulated to top government officials, including Jonathan Powell, the national security adviser.

Under the proposal, Britain would push for the creation of a European Confederation (taking the EU's free-trade zone with Ratio) defence commitments.

The likes of Ukraine, Switzerland, Norway and the Western Bahrain states would devote money to the EU.

As a member, Britain would pledge to spend 15 per cent of the UK on defence and extend its nuclear underpiles across the two Subcalles (United Arab) currently zone.

In return, the country would be invited to join the EU's single market for goods without having to accept the freedom of movement or membership of the outcome.

Ukraine would join the confederation with a promise to maintain a large share to serve as a main federal against any future Russian invasion, as well as share its demise to third-ages with the rest of Europe.

Mr Boles said that a new strategy for European cooperation was needed because there was no guarantee Donald Trump, or a future City president, would "defend Europe as if it were Russia".

The former MP, who held a number of ministerial positions, said the confederation model would not only help boost Britain's economy, it would also help Britain's address budgetary and migration concerns that EU member states have about accepting Ukraine. Albania and Serbia are the likes.

"If we're trying to do a bilateral competition in which we try to persuade the EU to have us have access to the single

market for goods, we will fail," he added.

"But if we make a proposal that solves other problems they have, like Ukraine... that's the possibility where the selling might be easier. We can explain this only just a selfish British deal, it's a deal just a run up to solve other problem scenarios."

The Telegraph previously reported that Sir East had approached the EU with a proposal for Britain to be given access to the single market for goods.

This was rejected because the European Union was not willing to give the UK special treatment while it remains outside the Mo.

As well as a State-style mutual defence clause and a single market, Mr Boles's proposal includes, other sites, branches to counter the EU, such as credit mobility and tech innovation schemes.

Boles can plan was publically the Bomes think-tank, he sought advice from the likes of Gordon Brown, the former prime minister, John Bew, an ex-Tory Foreign policy adviser, senior Registrar Richard Goss and Elly Robbins, after he was ascertain heed of the Foreign Office.

And while his post-Brexit vision is an government policy, the former MP believes there is room for it as Mr Boles has not yet decided how he wants to progress his predecessor's "result" with Britain.

Mr Boles believes recent comments by Hannah Falconer, the new Brexit minister, suggest the Government is still looking for ideas.

"We're not talking about exposing today. What we do in our next many lives will also be a question for the Labour Party. Mr Falconer said in the interview shortly after Mr Eurasian became prime minister.

The Prime Minister once claimed he hoped the UK would rejoin the EU 'in my lifetime'. but has since watered down that state.

A government source said that the proposals were being drawn up for how UK-EC co-operation could be deepened. These proposals will be discussed at a leaders summit being planned for October after the party conference season. The EU previously cancelled the meeting due to be held in July under the Acts after he announced his resignation. At the time, Brussels comes out and then only wanted to negotiate with a British leader who had a mandate to continue the event talks.

Islamic people 'are less British, claims Restore's co-founder

By Patrick Aseem

A SERSOB Restore Britain leader has said Muslims are "less British" than Christians as they have no ancestral or religious ties to the UK.

The comments have given dead every a "co-founder", it was a number of religious faiths, with Muslim leaders describing them as decisive and discriminatory.

His comments were "wonderful there, and a new over Restore leader Rupert Lowry is thanks to my whether the King whose father, Prince of England, is actually forever to Danish society" in a white British.

Baroness Golie, who holds the charity Muslim Women's Network UK, said "Britain's Christian history and heritage should eventually be respected. Those comments don't just on their Muslims, they exclude people of other faiths and come up the last Centre. If persons said they had no religion and that a significant segment of society, itself are very determined. Britishness, where does that have the Royal family?" She added "living British is about belonging,

Any party hosting such views is not a serious party and does not deserve to be any where near the levels of political power in our country," he said.

Mr Dewees was last week accused of suggesting Nigel Forage was "bought" by Jewish supporters. He responded to a post on X by the Rotten Tombs, in which Mr Forage had said he could not be bought, with an image showing him in front of signs for the Reform Jewish Alliance.

Choosing technical or academic education is for the history books

GCK education debate started, contesting the false choices of the past

The idea that the youth for the effect technical and vocational education (i.e. not only one the past few months) somehow is to be left on a new and standards in an depending as it is

rather. A drive man to look to land. A new idea that the students could get way of thinking that equates technical education with lower standards. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The women in work and society is changing far faster than any classroom could keep up with. Yet we are stuck in a debate that belongs to history books.

This work is a good. We can all continue this new to students to the past 10 years. But in pursuit of a particular measure of success we have narrowed the view of what matters and is hard not clear come to work. That's hard to see what we do.

The truth is the education system we inherited was resulting in

thousands leaving school and college to bring a purport to English and maths. It was blighted by high levels of persistent absenteeism, with growing numbers seeing no purpose in school.

You learn! most people left that out of hands even as best and the original the support they needed to succeed.

The effects of Covid have ignored and the catch-up and interventions are many were so kind and. These factors are some of the key, three of today's fevers crisis.

It is highly dangerous to claim credit for the rising academic standards of some, while not taking responsibility for the rest. These are two sides of the same coin.

The next challenge is to measure our system is for all. This is the second reform, cluster application, technical education and more.

We have a duty to equip young people for the opportunities of the modern economy, and we are doing people to see the purpose and take care of their education.

I reject the fallacy that being pre-received technical education means you're anti-semitism, and wonderful thing about excellence is that it can spread. Under this

Government, academic and technical options can and will be complements.

Systems with high technical education take up faster, less floor rates. Technical courses can also give renewed purpose to academic subjects. While false courses, agency, for example, when you're also studying digital design at business.

Academic subjects too need to cultivate the skills demanded today. Speaking and presenting them key to English, while research skills, opportunities and collaboration under the course of the

engineering and maths, for example. An strong foundation in core academic subjects is necessary for all, so too is application and future flow.

Young people understand new waves of technology in ways that we never will. The book (abbreviation of the economy can only come from them.

Now is the time to better prepare for a course of every young people to these opportunities. That's the Government's national ambition: not to board excellence but to spread it into the lives of every young person.

Two private schools close in a week, blaming Labour tax raid

TWO prep schools that have been forced to close here blamed Labour's VAT raid for the decision.

The two schools, which are the latest to fall victim to a "triple whammy" of tax raids, and rising operational costs and falling requirements held off from the tax system they do.

Schools are also absorbing higher employer Rational Insurance conditions from and the end of business costs relief.

The closure of the two prep schools, which was to open and close to it, had all parents struggling to find places for their children elsewhere.

In a letter to parents, Amanda Campbell, the headmaster of Avon House, said the decision to start had different in prolonged period of financial challenge.

The latest private school closures follow an analysis by The Telegraph that revealed that school fees would increase by a 5 per cent from September. The above-inflation rise comes after a 17 per cent jump in average fees last year. following Labour's decision to remove the 10 per cent VAT exemption for independent school fees.

Julie Belmont, the chief executive of the Independent Schools Council, said: "Schools are doing all they can to keep fees as low as possible for parents. However, independent schools are facing incredible difficult financial headwinds."

Over the past two years, there has been a triple whammy of additional taxes, with VAT being placed on school fees, charitable schools losing business rates relief and the rise in Rational Insurance employer contributions: set against a backdrop of rising prices and falling requirements.

Despite the significant increase in fees, Lucy Powell, the Education Secretary, has previously supported the idea that tax raids should go even further.

Fruit juice 'snatched' from primary schools

Children under 11 face only being served plain water, milk, soya or oat drinks from September 2027

By Genevieve Moll-Allen FEUTRUS COMMISSIONER

FUTURED schools could be banned from serving fruit juice to children to reduce their major intake, under government proposals to be published next month.

Children under the age of 11 face only being served water, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk and plain soya or oat drinks from September 2027.

Secondary school pupils could also have fruit juice banned from September 2028, but 'fruit-flavored milk drinks with an added sugar' will be allowed.

Lucy Powell, the Education Secretary, will be remembered as the 'juice machine', say cities, who described the plain as 'nainty-state nonsense'. The

It suggests 'removing fruit juice and fruit juice based combination drinks from the list of permitted drinks'.

The proposals say that the 'only drinks permitted' across the school age are 'plain water still or carbonated' and cow's milk, along with soya and oat drinks. Milk must be 'plain nonworsened and unflavored semi-skimmed or skimmed or lactose free', or a 'plain soya and oat' alternative.

The Department for Education said she would re-exile it with organizations such as the Food Foundation's Young Food, Authorisation, to 'capture the views of children and young people'.

Labour MPs urge Burnham to relax eco rules for struggling farms

By Nick Gutteridge

FRONT POLITICAL COMMISSIONER

ANBY BURNHAM is facing calls from Labour MPs to relax green rules and help struggling farmers through the summer drought.

Rural Na Moen faces have demanded that ministers loosen planning and environmental restrictions as growers face their worst harvest on record.

Last week new analysis warned that the 6th weather could see the grain harvest shrink by 2.1 million tonnes this year, costing farmers up to £200m.

In a letter to Dame Angela Eagle, the Environment Secretary, a dozen Labour MPs said ministers should respond by

relating green regulations. They said the should make water atheory from summer months, allowing farmers to make greater use of rivers, lakes and boreholes.

Farming rules should also be overhauled to make it easier for growers to get permission for reservoirs and water storage tanks, the healthier faces added. The MPs also urged Dame Angela to 'get online respect for vulnerable farm businesses facing repeated drought conditions', including for spending a new grant scheme to help them invest in improvements such as more efficient irrigation.

'Climate adaptation must now sit alongside climate mitigation eco control'

'It's about just trying to keep the show on the road'

pillar of government policy,' the letter, words by The Telegraph states.

'We must continue reducing emissions, but we must also ensure that our communities, our environment and our economy are resilient to the climate that is already here.'

'Human-made climate change is now with us. We cannot rest. We must push ahead.'

The letter was organized by Ben Golddecough, the MP for South Norfolk, who said ministers should also free up more land for livestock grazing.

Speaking to The Telegraph, he said the Government should temporarily allow farmers to grow their animals on land set aside for nature schemes. 'It's

not about environmental standards we see farming standards,' he said. 'It's about just trying to keep the show on the road.'

In a separate intervention the chairman of the Commons environment committee urged ministers to overhaul the grant system for farmers in England. It has been heavily criticised for incriminating farmers to use their land for art into schemes such as solar panels and rewilding over footponds then.

Red alert: Pilgrim travels 1,700 miles to save telephone box

By Alice Lilley

A MAN has travelled 1,700 miles from Cornwall to the Isle of Lords to save a rural telephone box from going out of service.

William Arnold, 61, indicated some journey to make 52 different calls from the new phone box in Einacht in it is believed to be the last remaining connected double-dose telephone box in the UK.

Ofcom guidelines state that at least 52 calls are required to be made from a phone box only near for the phone line to remain in use.

Mr Arnold, who working a photographer and an artist, said: 'The project is slightly ridiculous and colourful. But there is no consensus on how to move or communicate with each other and have these phone boxes are often vital rural lifetimes.

'It all started on the Isle of Lords when I was working on a photographer project and I wanted to call on partner who was staying back at the house to see I was going to be back late.'

He discovered an old yellow British Telecom installed phone box from the 1960s and 'was really excited' as he had not used a phone box for years. 'But

when I picked up the receiver, the line was dead and I was so disappointed,' he added.

Mr Arnold, who has been working to save phone boxes since 2022, said he complained to BT but was inspired to help maintain phone lines across the country's more rural communities.

'It's mostly about the line and being able to communicate from these places that really frustrates me.'

The town campus door arrangement is believed to have been created specifically to cope with double weather of the town.

Mr Arnold said he used 30p and 20p coins worth £20m in the mails made 52 calls to 52 different people with some calls lasting longer than others.

Some school public polyphones remain operational in the UK, down from 20,000 to 2024, data show, in 2025, BT removed 42 phone boxes across the UK after the company returned 47 phone boxes.

A spokesman for BT said: 'Maintaining and operating a large estate of polyphones costs millions of pounds each year, an obstacle that prevents more investment in full-time broadband and mobile networks - which our customers will so they want.'

Manhunt under way after rare silver antiques stolen

By Babe Cline

MANHUNT is under way after dozens of rare silver antiques were stolen from a National Trust master house.

Some 20 objects made of silver, sweets and brass were stolen from Badlesley Clinton, the former historic home of the Ferrers family for more than 400 years.

Police are now appealing for informants to see where the people violate the theft at the mound stately home, in the Forest of Acton. Warwickshire, in the North District of Blyth.

A Georgian-era silver salver, a flat slate, engraved with the Ferrers family arms is one of the 23 stolen items.

The theft occurred just months after the time was placed on inquiry.

Previously kept in charge, the salver, which the National Trust estimates would have cost around £25 in the 18th century, roughly twice the annual wage it is housemad at the time.

The senate sin-asked plate bears the mark of Dorothy Mills, one of the only female registered silversmiths of the Fifties. The law believed to be the only example of the silversmith's work in a publicly accessible UK collection.

The discovery of Mr Mills's mark 'has

rewritten the story of the silver collection at Badlesley Clinton', the National Trust said.

Other objects stolen include a silver stump cap sculpted into a fire and a pair of capclothes.

The National Trust said some of the items may be identifiable from their the tinctive markings it will, and urged members of the public to get in touch if they re-captive the items.

And that, National Trust operations

'The coffee Union, despite that have been taken are important, especially the Georgian silver salver'

How 'Scottish Glastonbury' for folk music enticed Gen Z

With its saltite flags, bagpipes and 'craic', Belladrum festival is defiantly local

By Jacob Freedland NOT THE KEY FOR

KIM GAGLE are vibrating. The ground is shading. Teenagers punch the air in unseen, screaming at the top of their lungs.

The stage is hidden behind youngsters chattering out to each other's shoulders, forming a forest of bucket hats. The only gaps are when men's girls break out.

You would be forgiven for thinking that some took place at a night-hit deep underground to the third of rap music.

But it happened in a remote field in the Scottish Highlands last weekend to the sound of bagpipes and 'craics'.

Belladrum, an annual music festival near Inverness called the 'Scottish Glastonbury' for its organizers, is catering to a surprising new set of folk music enthusiasts. Generalist Z.

The gathering which costs £250 to attend in half started in 2004 as a single-day event for 2,000 folk shows. Now, it is a three-day affair that welcomes 24,000 festival goers - nearly half of whom this year were under the age of 34.

Promoters said they had seen a surge in young people stoking night-hits for live performances of local folk tunes.

Post and Dread, a three-piece rock band from the Isle of Lewis, have previously played at Belladrum and are now touring the UK. Location is central to their appeal, according to Udo MacLeod, their 25-year-old drummer. In one of their hits, Calum 'Brodle' MacLeod, the band's lead singer, bellows. 'I am a country boy, and I don't like the city.' In another, he

asks: 'Are you from the Isle of Lewis? Or is it the hills of Harris?'

MacLeod, who fits gigs around his job as construction, said the first 10 rows of account show were 'filled with kids'. He said: 'They see themselves in us.'

Like Post and Dread, many of the acts at Belladrum use bagpipes and accordions alongside their guitars and drums, creating what feels like a mix of a traditional wedding and a modern pop concert. Talbot, a bar from the Isle of Mye, perform with a fiddle backed by a syntheseed soundtrack. A lead singer sings over the beat in Gaelic.

In their show in Belladrum, a mix in full Highland dress jumped up and down on stage, stumping his feet in time with a bagpipe - a music teacher from western Scotland - who blasted out to note to the sound of cheers as if he were a rock star at Wembley Stadium.

Afterwards, the band was flooded with sulke requests.

Fans and they were drawn to the festival because the acts had similar upbringings to theirs, in contrast to the rap stars preferred by their peers, who often hailed from America.

Explaining why he had chosen a festival of traditional music over a rap concert, sportswear chief Lewis Macpherson, 20, said: 'It's local. People know the band members names. They're local to the Highlands.'

James Cuthbert, a 20-year-old jockey from Inverness, said: 'The trad music is exceptional. It's the culture. It's the crisis.'

James MacKenzie, a 19-year-old from Colthaven, said: 'A lot of my friends don't listen to rap music. I think there is a slight turning away from it. I've never been enamoured with it. Here, you get a bigger turnout when someone produces a set of bagpipes.'

People are proud of where they are from at Belladrum, Gresge, spontaneously break into couldn't

Belladrum folk festival, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, is a three-day event that welcomes 24,000 people - nearly half of whom this year were under the age of 34

dances, earnestly performing the traditional jigs many Scottish children are taught at school.

Earlier than the Palestinian flags - which have come to be the visual staple of festival's south of the border - the Belladrum crowd flies the symbols of its islands, from Tareyton to South Usk.

Sonny Smith is the folk wearing frontman of rock-folk band Taernion, named after a village in the West Highlands. Setting up one of his songs, he asked the crowd: 'Are there any Highland girls out there?'

Asked why she had bought tickets for the festival, Dale McDiarmid, a 20-year-old from the Isle of Mye, said: 'It's in our blood. We love a

bassong! We're embracing our roots. You see everyone you know from school. I know 100 people here.'

Ms McDiarmid said the lyrics 'reconate with us' citing a selection of her favourite songs about the hills and to be that made up to country landscape. Scottish patriotism was loudly on display too. Festival goers

'It's local. People know the band members' names. They're local to the Highlands'

wrapped themselves in saltite flags, sometimes throwing them on to the stage to encourage performers to do the same.

Signe were often written in Gaelic and many artists made a point of singing in the language too.

Mark Mackie, who works for KMU Entertainment, one of Britain's largest events premieres, explained that national identity was part of the appeal of trad music.

'A lot of these fans grew up listening to Rusing, who were massive in Scotland (in the 1960s),' he said. 'Rusing were trailblazers for Gaelic music.'

'A lot of these kids have grown up with their mom and dad's record collection - now they've got their own version that is about the current moment. The scene went quiet and is now on the again.'

The rise of Scottish such as Belladrum comes as young partygoers last interest in night-hits, who have now seen as too expensive. According to a survey, six in 10 people aged

between 18 and 30 were going out less frequently last year than in 2024.

The night-time economy, which included bars and night-hits contributed £90.7m to the UK economy in 2020, down from £106.8m in 2019, according to the Night Time Economy Report.

Mr Mackie said: 'People aren't going to clubs as much as they need to. They don't want to pay a bonus to get into a black box night-hit with the 'dull fad' music on.'

They will, however, go to a live experience. That's part of Gen Z's thing that they're into. A gig is a shared experience, which the young ones are really getting into.'

But perhaps the real explanation for the enduring appeal of Scottish folk music is simply that it is fun.

Labour plan for 'marriage-lite' threatens to slash births

Example of Finland shows increasing legal rights for cohabiting couples could reduce fertility rate

By Charles Hymus FROM AFRIAN EXPRESS

LABOUR is plans to give cohabiting couples new rights could reduce births by at least 75,000 a year, according to a report.

If the reforms had been in place for the past 10 years, between 75,000 and 95,000 fewer babies would have been born each year, according to research by the Centre for Social Justice (CSI) think tank.

Strong cohabiting couples now rights to each other's property and finances would lead to lower marriage rates and more family break-ups, with the resulting instability resulting fewer births, the analysis suggested.

The CSI based its projection on the effect similar reforms have had in Finland. Under the reforms 'labelled 'marriage-lite' by the CSI - couples who have benefiting together continuously for three years or more and who share a child will automatically have greater rights to each other's property and finances.

A study last month by the CSI found the UK's fertility rate had dropped to a record low of 1.6 children per woman, well below the 2.1 'replacement level', the number of births per woman needed to keep the population steady.

The CSI says this threatens future living standards because the country will be short of workers to support growing numbers of pensioners.

Sophia Worringer, the CSI's deputy research director, said: "The lesson from Finland is clear: marriage fell, cohabitation declined and fertility dropped. Andy Burnham should scrap any plans to follow its example.

"With birth rates already at historic lows and population ageing, piling pressure on the public finances, the potential cost are too great, and the evidence too significant, to ignore."

The CSI analysis of Finland - which introduced similar cohabitation rights

in 2011 - estimated that the number of women getting married for the first time in Finland was 25 per cent lower within seven years of the reform than it would have been in its absence.

At the same time, there was a decline in the stability of family relationships with a rise in break-ups.

It suggested that there was a 'significant association' between the reforms and a 10 per cent fall in the Finnish fertility rate by 2016 compared with similar countries where reforms did not happen.

The CSI cited academic studies, which had downed the in Finland 12 per cent of the decline in first births could be attributed to the decline in fertility in cohabiting couples.

The research estimated that in Finland and Wales had introduced an equivalent reform to Finland in 2001, there could have been 10,016 fewer marriage between 2012 and 2015, with 24,000 fewer marriages in 2021 alone.

The total fertility rate in 2021 would

The lesson from Finland is clear: marriage fell, cohabitation declined and fertility dropped

have fallen to 1.26, rather than 1.44, and in 2024 it would be down to 1.25 rather than 1.48, according to the analysis.

"Since 2021 this amounts to an estimated 75,000 fewer babies being born per year,创历史s the analysis from 2012 takes the average reduction in births to 90,000 per year. following higher fertility patterns in the years preceding the pandemic," said the CSI.

Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, said: "adults should have choice over the legal consequences of their relationships. The right response to changing how people live is not to or say the distinction between the choices people make, but to respect it."

A Ministry of Justice, the decision said: "The new framework will offer digital cohabiting couples, in committed romantic relationships, a distinct and different set of rights from married couples, helping to preserve the sanctity of marriage."

Sturgeon: I'll bury the hatchet if Harry Potter author does first

By Jacob Freedland SCOTTISH REPORTER

NICOLA STURGEON has claimed JR Rowling is "obsessed" with her.

The former first minister of Scotland made the comments stating an interview at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe yesterday, a day after the author's most recent sales.

In a post on X on Friday, the Harry Potter author accused Ms Sturgeon of being the "Slitched with ever" in response to her insistence that she was unaware of Peter Murrell's crimes.

Her estranged husband was jailed for five years and three months in June for onboarding a 9/05/2005 from the USF.

Ms Sturgeon told him little, the broadcaster. "We disagree on more than one thing - we disagree about independence, we clearly disagree on trans rights.

"I don't my God, that woman is obsessed with me. I don't spend as much time thinking about her as she does thinking about me."

In a newly released version of her memoirs, Punella, Ms Sturgeon said she was too busy making Scotland to notice Murrell's bizarre purchases.

'That woman is obsessed with me. I don't spend as much time thinking about her as she does about me'

Ms Sturgeon was insinuated by Police Scotland but several photographs of her with items that resembled those bought using colors each have not uttered critics, including a red designer handling casting 2/16.

Asked whether she wanted an "amnesty" with Rowling, Ms Sturgeon said she was not "at war", adding that and amnesty is "probably going to have to come from her".

Rowling has become outspoken critic of the ex-first minister, particularly on gender issues. "A big issue in Scotland since Ms Sturgeon's attempt to reform gender occupation has on 2022.

Ms Sturgeon also said she will not visit Murrell 16, in jail. The couple are to divorce.

She accused him of not thinking about her "at any point" during his crimes. The former call revealed she felt like a "mag" for caring about him in the months before he pleaded guilty to enforcement in May.

She said she was unaware Murrell will be too appraising, rapidly plus from March and only discovered his intention he would refuse to appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh.

Tesla's UK sales go into reverse as drivers opt for Chinese rivals

By Tom Saunders

TESLA'S deliveries in the UK have fallen sharply as the popularity of the company's Chinese rivals outper.

The electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, led by Elon Musk, delivered just 45,250 vehicles in the UK in 2015 - a 9yr fall from 2016.

Sales also fell by 6pc to 45.83km, according to accounts for Tesla's UK subsidiary, down from 43.90km the previous year. The drop in revenue comes on top of a 2pc revenue decline in 2014. Tesla has been struggling in the UK amid growing competition from cheaper Chinese rivals.

According to separate data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, battery-electric vehicle sales rose 4.6pc to a record 45,106 last month, capturing more than a quarter of the total car market. It was the eighth consecutive month of market growth

and the best July total since 2015. However, none of Tesla's cars featured in the top 10 most popular models in July, while the Chinese Jaco 8.5, made it 'Chevy International, was the third most popular electric car.

Another cut-price SUV made by Chevy International, the Jaco 7, which is not electric, has become so popular that it has been unbiased the Tetsu Range Rover.

While it bears a striking resemblance to the Range Rover, it costs about a third low, just £29,000. The Jaco 10.4 also considerably under ran Tesla and other manufacturers. Its retail price starts at just £27,500 compared with around £28,000 for a Tesla Model 1.

Unlike the EU or the US, the UK has chosen not to levy tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and they have skyrocked in popularity in Britain.

However, there are concerns that Chinese EVs present a security risk. The

US has introduced regulations requiring automakers, from March 2020, to certify that core connected systems continue to Chinese developed software and it has around foreign surveillance.

Tesla has struggled globally after the Trump administration cut a 37,500 (43,600) tax credit for electric vehicles and dismantled rules to incentivize the production of EVs.

The carmaker's profits in the second quarter of the year fell by 9pc to 81.2m, as it was forced to cut prices to lure customers back and its income from credits dried up.

At the same time, Mr Musk has accelerated the groups given from EVs to autonomous taxis and all-powered humanoid robots.

The company more than doubled its capital spending compared with the same period last year, as it invested heavily in AI and robotics.

Tesla was contacted for comment.

1st flattened Sweden's migrant wave. This is how he'd stop the small boats

Cut benefits and depart criminals to deter asylum seekers. Stockholm's migration minister tells UK

By James Crisp at kcnk airrton

BRITAIN cut stop small boats crossing the Channel without leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), says the man who skated Sweden's migrant wave.

Sweden is expected to receive only 4,200 asylum seekers this year, its lowest number since 2004.

Since the Right-wing coalition government took power in 2022, departations have increased to 60 per cent and asylum claims have dropped by 75 per cent.

Johan Forssell, the minister for migration, said cutting migrant benefits, departing criminals and forcing asylum seekers to live in reception centres had helped cut arrivals to record lives.

"If you come to Sweden, you need to learn Swedish, you need to find a job, you cannot commit crimes. That is not an intrinsic term, at 67" he said.

He said the people smugglers' boss, and the tens of thousands of migrants storming the Spanish enclave of Creta last week were a warning.

"There are so many Leftists nowadays saying this migrant crisis is over. The situation in the UK has taught everyone that migration is still a very explosive topic, and the crisis is not over. And that is the same lesson that Europe banned last week and with Spain [...] we need to secure our burden."

During the 2020 European migrant crisis, Sweden received more than 80,000 asylum applications in single year. The highest per capita and the European Union

In 2024, the government reported net migration, more than 60% of the population. "Since the first time in over 30 years, Mr Forssell said that it was possible to cut illegal immigration and lower depreciation without leaving the ECHR but because the most needed reform. He said: "We are fully committed to doing things by the book. But we have seen some cases, and we also see some criminals, where those confrontations have go second than in the criminals, rather than the victims of

A trend in the Channel. Johan Forsell, left, says Sweden has returned the fate of asylum seekers with a crackdown on benefits

their victims. He said: "A criminal saying: I have heard to go back home" as it is a reason for still being in the country, adding that the ECHR was absolutely outdated.

Sweden is involved in the push to reform the ECHR, which hit their bigmen's administration also supported. It also backs EU moves to cut up Spanish style offshore detentions ample for failed asylum seekers.

It is possible to reduce asylum-related migration, and to do that in a short period of time and in full accord anew with international law and human rights. Mr Forssell said:

"There is no silver bullet, but what we have done is that we have been looking at every piece of legislation trying to make it strict and firm."

He said: "If you come to Sweden, you know there will be no more benefits for

people not wanting to learn Swedish or find a job. You know there also does not do asylum applications and if you commit a crime, we will make sure you will be deported."

"We are very clear today that you need to go back home if that is the decision. If that is the decision, you must follow it. There will be no more benefits. You cannot move freely around Sweden any longer. You cannot work."

The coalition is led by US frontiers, the prime minister and leader of the country's Right Moderators. It is proposed up by the hard Right, anti-migrant Swedish Democratic, which remained formally outside of government despite coming around in 2022.

Be it appropriate were all over the government's crackdown on illegal immigration, which came after an election dominated by a crime epidemic blamed

on gangs with immigrant background. The government introduced them to make claiming citizenship more difficult and departing criminals same, as well as tougher family reunification rules. Accepted refugees are also no longer granted permanent residence as a matter of course. Instead, their claim is reversed every three years.

Sweden has elections in September, with public disrespect. In 1998 when Social Times sent leading the Swedish Democratic to second and the Moderators in third. The Moderators said they are willing to break the taboo of entering into a formal coalition with the free and Democratic, which was founded by Nazi sympathies, to stop in power.

Mr Forssell denied his government's crackdown and normalised racism policies or paced the once-dominated Swedish Democratic rise to power.

Now Italy hit with border controls by Spain

By Our Foreign Staff

SPAIN has imposed border controls for flights and ships from Italy as a one between the two countries over the influx of migrants into Creta intensifies.

Passport, nationality and visa checks will now be conducted for visitors and maritime passengers arriving from Italy until Sept 7 and the personnel irregular migratory pressure from Rome, the Spanish government declared.

Spain said the measures would remain while Italy applied its own measures, which Rome said were motivated by the mass migration study by 72,000 people to Spain's African enclave of Creta on July 30.

Photo earlier, Spain threatened Italy with countermeasures if it did not swiftly lift its own border checks, drawing a refurbishment.

Italian passengers flying into Alzillo Statue Madrid Barque Airport were told they would not be allowed off the plane without showing their passports. "They didn't check them. They just wanted to see if we were coming from Italy. They didn't ask us anything, they

They just wanted to see if we were coming from Italy. They didn't ask us anything

just told us to keep going." Rina Fabbri and Laura Stitchi, two passengers arriving from Bologna, told EU friends.

Of the 72,000 people who entered Creta, 30,000 had returned to Moscow, according to official Spanish figures, which many, including children, were still in the nation in due conditions. Spanish authorities said 90 people died in the crossings, although eight groups reduced the total to be higher.

The terms indicated anti-migrant Gvri EU members, including Italy, which imposed a one-month suspension of in-virus due to need it changed deal with Spain. The Spanish government said the measure was "unfair, contrary to the EU statement and discriminatory for the Spanish population".

José Manuel Albarro, Spain's foreign minister, described as a 'unpublished at the limit of European unity'.

"We urge the government of Italy to rectify, put an end to the checks and treat Spanish like other European citizens," the government said.

Within hours, the government of Georgia Moloni, Italy's prime minister, said "that no intention of re-rising the decision" before Aug 15, when it said Spanish authorities "supported a new wave of migration" to full Creta.

Yemen's Iran-based Health rebels have been fired again of attack on US authorities, making the deal less which handles roughly 12 per cent of worldwide trade and 65 per cent of the total population traffic.

At least 16 soldiers of Yemen's internationally recognized government were killed on Thursday and at least 50 were killed on a large scale. Health rebels would not be in their control and out of the country, government officials said, wearing the old could use.

The attack struck bases in the province of Mada and Rashtunawt, held by the 2020 World Peace of the World.

Russian strike on Ukrainian missile factory kills boy, three

By Emily Smith

RUSSIA struck a Ukrainian drone and missile factory on Friday night as attacks near Rye killed three people, including a child.

Moscow's defence ministry claimed it targeted the Rye's Rye Point plant, the Ukrainian defence company developing long-range weapons, including the Flamingo route missile.

A three-year-old boy and his grand parents were also killed and seven were injured in Russian ballistic missile strikes on the Rye regions Brovaty district.

Tymur Tkachenko, Rye's regional governor, said the attack damaged a residential building, cars and outbuildings in the Brovaty district and caused a fire at a new residential building.

Valve footage showed rags from and plumes of smoke rising from buildings.

"Russia continues to terrorize the civilian population," Mr Tkachenko said in a Telegram post, adding that emergency crews were building fires at a fuel tank in the capital.

Moscow also claimed to be a fuel facility in Rye that its defence ministry said supplies petroleum to the Ukrainian armed forces.

Ukraine's state emergency service said the healer and a few, gangers and a company of building in the Holomovsky district. Another few was extinguished "on the territory of an enterprise" in the Holomovky district, in which

A drone also entered Bulgarian airspace and exploded near the village of Kordam. No casualties or damage occurred after the drone went off in a sunflower field near the Romanian border, Ramsey Rader, the Bulgarian prime minister, said.

The explosion into a 1,000m from Bulgarian companies was taken of the Trans-Bulkan gas pipeline, which stretches from Turkey to Ukraine, and 200m from Romania's compressor station.

"I'll think 'trump' history," sounded the cry, repeated five times by Vyschestiv Vukulin, the state Russia's chairman, as he closed parliament's final session before decision next month.

The war was a major step for police applause, but Mr Vukulin was

revealed for his enthusiasm shortly after with a medal from Vladimir Putin which was opened his "oldest labour"

Yet the impunity theatre's mask a more uniform reality, about mounting public discussion over Ukraine's deep strikes in Russia, economic instability, a rampant fuel crisis and rumours of mobilization, the Kremlin has moved to crack down leader that even on dissenting voices.

Even its so-called "systemic opposition", manned by rival parties that have been seen used to prevent the illusion of pluralism all while operating within the interests of the regime, have been gutted of candidates or barred from standing. Even

Rudolzhin, one of the country's most prominent anti-war politicians, has been forced to the fact country after a decades-long career within the system. Vukulin, the only port connecting the election to have all spied an openly anti-war stance, looks set to be banned.

"Russian elections have not been expected to be a major source who was always a sense that the Kremlin found at least useful to hold events called elections—as opposed to in Soviet times, where it was a single most difficult party," said Dr Nigel Gould-Exoron, an expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

"Now, in the fifth year of war, there's no sense coming from the Kremlin that they are refused or confided in their control of public opinion."

At least 21 politicians have been banned from standing in the ballot over the past five months, others on charges of displaying "extremist" or Nazis symbols.

In it cases, the offence was posting images or symbols associated with Alexei Navalny, the opposition leader whose allies are war members (by the state, elsewhere), candidates were penalized for publishing links to banned social media sites Instagram and Facebook.

One candidate, Danil Novace, a self-motivated mass-sight candidate in Moscow's Mo Shidov district, was arrested and disqualified for wearing a rainbow-colored T-shirt.

Because of this, speculation has mounted that the Kremlin may altogether bar the party, which has run in every parliamentary election since the fall of the USSR.

On Friday, Russia's Supreme Court said it would consider a lawsuit filed by the pro-Kremlin untrusted party Rodina to disqualify Vukulin. Alexei Zhuravlev, the leader of Rodina, who becomes "Motherland" - had described the party's members as national traitors.

retorted on Telegram. The decision to bar Mr Rudolzhin, long-used by many as a model to solve Moscow to simulate tokeny blood opposition, also attests to this. Mr Rudolzhin was set to stand as an independent candidate.

"This is a veteran, someone opposition liberal. He drives around for decades and was within the limits of permissible criticism, unlike someone like Navalny," said Dr Gould-Exoron, pointing out that two years before, he had even been allowed to begin the process of candidate registration for presidential elections. "Now he sees he's in fear of his life."

Pentagon points finger at ex-Air Force chief over leak

By Natasha Leake

THE Pentagon has accused Joe Biden's former Air Force secretary of Sealing classified British about Air Force (bar) reporters, and stripped him off his secret fur clearances.

Frank Kendall, who served as the 20th US secretary of the Air Force from 2018 to 2023, was quoted in the Vice Civil Force last month as saying that a Boeing 745 given it Donald Trump by Qatar, lacked the defensive capabilities of other job that typically fly the president.

In July, the administration subpoenaed several New York Times journalists over the reports, which also claimed that the full-time US had been swaggered in force. Mr Trump's return from a Nato summit in Turkey as a 'security precaution.'

Mr Kendall had his access to classified materials revoked on Friday, the Pentagon said.

"Effective immediately, the Department of War has RETOMED former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall's eligibility for access to classified information and his ability to hold any waste for position," from Farrell, a 'entagon spokesman, said on it.

"Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty," he added. "These who violate that trust for

petroleum of access and any role requiring it."

The Trump administration has evaluated its efforts to track down on hold of the Air Force.

On Thursday, the president vowed to issue down the people who had revealed that the US is suffering from a shortage of critical missiles.

Hunter Biden: My father's decision to pardon me was not good for his legacy

By Emily Smith

FOREIGN INITIATIVE NEWS SUPPORT

HENRY REYES has said that his father's decision to pardon him was 'not good for' the former US president's legacy.

The rest of his Biden was pardoned of federal gun charges by his father in 2018 before he was due to be sentenced.

The pardon covered any federal offences committed between January 2016 and November 2018.

The former president, who left office in January 2020, repeatedly insisted that he would not pardon his son, but said he ultimately intervened because Hunter had been 'acknowledy, and unlikely, prosecuted'.

Hunter Biden has now acknowledged that the decision was damaging to his father and the country.

"Was it good for our country to be 'fit in it good for the American people? Was it good for my dad's legacy? So, on all counts, it was not," he told BBC's first dissent of the 'fist' was something that it could be criticized and let good reason, and I can't get a real otherwise."

He added "All I know is that the

Hunter Biden has repeatedly been targeted by Donald Trump and his allies

is that I'm grateful that he did it for me and all I can say to another day that there is what would you have thought of my dad if he did not do that for me and left me to the whims of Donald Trump?"

Hunter Biden, who has repeatedly been targeted by Mr Trump and his allies, said the pardon had protected him from the new president's revenge and retaliation.

He was convicted in federal court in Delaware in June 2024 of three felony offences relating to upon purchase.

Prosecutors said the had had on a federal firm by stating that he was not an unlawful user of, or addicted to, a drug when he bought the license.

Hunter Biden has previously spoken to the firm for struggles with crack cocaine addiction.

For China repeatedly denied having been in pardon his son, but in contention in December 2024, he said. "Friday, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter.

"From the day I took widely, I said it would not interfere with the justice department's decision-making, and I hope my word even as I have searched my son being 'effectively, and unfairly, prosecuted'."

Cuba regime change 'would be another Iran'

Hard-line factions would replace leading political figure Rudi Castro, warn US intelligence agencies

By Emily Smith FOREIGN MAGAZINE/SWING REPORTER

REUTERS: change in Cuba would look more like Iran than Venezuela. US 'guy agrees to have worked.

As Washington increases pressure on Havana, he officials are searching for a new Cuban leader in the month of hefty Rodriguez, the vice-president of Venezuela who took over when the US captured Nicolás Maduro.

However, US intelligence agencies

have decided that the situation in Cuba is less like that in Venezuela and more like that in Iran, sources who had been briefed on the intelligence reports told the Star-food Times.

The current president of Cuba is Miguel Díaz-Casari, the first leader outside the Castro family to run the country since the 2018 revolution.

The Cubans who would take power if US forces captured Rudi Castro, the former president who is still a key political figure, are from hard-line factions, like their Iranian counterparts.

The CIA has secretly established the Cuba task force, a sign that the US administration is preparing to increase its campaign to meet Donald Trump's demands in the country.

The plan for the communist country

is understood to be regime alteration rather than regime change.

US and Israeli officials developed a similar plan for Iran before the war began in February.

The US has imposed a blockade on Cuba that shakes off fuel shipments, leading to power cuts, food shortages and economic collapse across the island.

Since January, Mr Trump has authorized only one Iranian outlander to dock them, sharply reducing the fuel available to keep the country's ageing power stations running.

It is unclear who the White House would prefer to lead Cuba, and there is a lack of practical options.

The Cuban government is likely to support Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraja, a

grand-nephew of Fidel Castro, but he is likely to be unacceptable to the US.

The Trump administration could be spento another Castro relative, Rudi O'Reillyane Castro, known as 'Raider' or 'El Campoy' (the Crab). Mr Castro's

grandson, he served as the former president's hodgward.

John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, visited Calaverri this year and met both Mr Rodriguez Castro and Lázaro Alivero, Alvaco Casan, the internet

minister who is another possible replacement.

As Mr Castro holds no office within Mr Maduro, whom Mr Trump calls to end to the capture that installed Mr Rodriguez as president - capturing and致电ing him would not change, an immediate leadership change.

Mr Trump was determined to replicate the Venezuelan model in Iran by installing a leader who could easily assume power and work closely with Washington.

However, the Iranian officials identified as candidates were unobtrusively killed in US attack as strikes, soon after the war began on Feb 28 with the killing of Ali Khmteeri, the supreme leader.

The US united Mr Maduro, the Venez-

earian leader, in January, capturing him in a nighttime special forces and He is in aid in Brooklyn. New York, where he awaits trial on drug trafficking and plan change, Mr Rodriguez was unaided in his place.

This week, the Cuban ambassador to Britain declined that the Cuban people would fight to the death against any US military intervention.

Chris Selstein, director of the Latin America programme at Chatham House, said: 'Iran and Cuba were revolutionary regimes that have been in place for a very long time.'

That means they're very dramatic, they're very rigid, ideological, and they've been able to perpetuate a leadership circle that is much more homogeneous and aligned.

Free as a bird A rare eastern imperial eagle captured by poachers in Syria is released back into the wild. Feliks was caught by animal traffickers after a flew off course during its first migration in July 2020. After protracted negotiations, the bird was eventually handed over to a wildlife centre in Beirut. In June it was flown back to Serbia where it was rehabilitated before being released back into the wild. Eastern imperial eagles are strictly protected in Serbia, where their numbers fell to just one breeding pair in 2007.

Why Oct 7 fallout has left entire Israeli nation suffering from PTSD

Paul Nuki ISCRIBU MAGAZINE/SWING REPORTER

TISH month alone, these Israeli soldiers are repeatedly naive died by suicide, two of them young women. It takes 6 if the number who have taken their own lives since the start of the year, a rate higher than at any point in the past year.

The month was made worse by the news last week that the boyfriend of Levin Banta, who was murdered at the Nova mass: festival during the Oct 7 massacre, had died inside the grave of his sweetheart.

But until 30, was having trouble coping, an unnecessarily told his mother he was struggling without his girlfriend, especially eating. 'There's no one who can replace her, no one to chew me up.'

Three high profile tragedies are but the tip of a mental health crisis that is sweating back to coming to data cities in the Calif. the country's largest health provider.

The study found poor traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the general population had increased by 30 per cent in the wake of the Oct 7 crisis in and subsequent conflict.

The underlying rate of diagnosis is running at 'three to four times' the level it was before the pandemic in 2016 and is showing no sign of slowing, according to Calif's data, which stretches to June this year.

The new figures broadly match those of Israel's three other health

'The feeling of helplessness right now is widespread among the entire population'

provides and suggest a total of about 10,000 cases of PTSD in Israel that are attributable to the conflict, cases that would not otherwise be expected.

PTSD is a specific mental health condition with a high and standardized test for diagnosis.

The mental health outcome thoughts and flashbacks, severe anxiety and emotional numbness over a prolonged period.

For many seemingly mundane triggers, including common odours, smells, tastes and sounds, constantly disrupt daily life, sometimes paralyzed. After the first World War, we called it shellshock.

Professor Jami Kirkey, the director of the Calif- (left) Mental Health Center, charge well-equipped hospital in the area of the New, key the incidence of PTSD is likely to climb further in the short term at least.

'The level is high and is remaining high,' he told The Telegraph. 'Usually, you can see following a stressful event, there should be a decay, with resilience. Doubling and recovery processes taking place. But unfortunately, because of the continuous war situation, with repeated bursts of acute stress activity like the war with Iran, we don't see that.'

Worse, Prof Kirkey says Calif's PTSD data points to a much wider incidence of mental health complaints in Israel. 'I'm using the PTSD as a guide to cause we have that data, but actually the level of the mental health situation is much larger,' he said.

Beyond PTSD, there could be double or three times the number of people in need of mental health

services in Israel. The PTSD data shows the trend. It is likely to be the same for the other mental health issues like depression, anxiety, eating disorder, even psychosis.'

Ciald's data, like that of the other Israeli health care providers, does not include active military personnel. These cases are treated within the military and that on them is restricted.

Nevertheless, last year a study published by the National Center for Traumatic Stress and Resilience at Tel Aviv University which tracked individuals serving no combat roles over an years. Israel that about 12 per cent of those who witnessed combat reported severe PTSD symptoms, rendering them unfit for duty.

Prof Kirkey and his colleagues are media and not yet theinistent of the mental health difficulties that if an immune and other system, the two areas, common and very intense of the current conflict are suffering. One described the probable incidence of PTSD and other mental health issues in Gaza as 'unimaginable'.

The evidence in Israel is that access to treatment, although stretched, is available, even if the system has had to be completely disengaged to deal with it. Psychology students and others with baseline expertise in the area have been drafted in by Calif to man mental health as it plays, image patterns and even periodic times, counselling and therapy to those affected.

A serious issue with mental health complaints is that, without access to proper care, people can start to self medicine, being left for drugs.

In Israel, cannabis has long been available for certain conditions, and the use of it has become widespread, despite there not being a good evidence base for its use.

'For some people with PTSD, it can genuinely be beneficial but we see adverse effects. For example, people are becoming more agitated. Sometimes even manic. Sometimes to an extreme level, even psychotic,' says Prof Kirkey. 'I have seen

grandkneffers like 30 years old come with psychosis of mania because they are media of cannabis... it had an innocent treatment.'

It is not that the researchers at Calif-

are staid or pruritic. A recent small study at Child Billiards Medical Center in northern Israel using MDMA, the active ingredient of the recreational drug extract, reported nationally positive results for children with PTSD.

The Movement Discontinuation and Reprocessing, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy are among the evidence-based psychological therapies used by Calif.

The main challenge, says Prof Kirkey, is to get 'provision diagnosis' and then to select the right treatment or series of treatments for the patient.

'The help goal in PTSD is to find the correct treatment for the right person at the right time with the right care,' he said. For those getting the right help, the prognosis is reasonable.

'Second 60 per cent will recover and get back to life with more residual symptoms. However, there are 11 to 20 per cent with chronic symptoms, all need a level of coping support.'

The impact of the war on Israeli children is also frightening.

There are more than 10,000 children and adolescents below the age of 16 that are recognized as 'stress victims' by the Israeli authorities, says Prof Kirkey.

He adds: 'Some of them lost parents,

Lives Banta was examined in the Oct 7 attacks. Her boyfriend the Aeed, right, killed himself at her grave

one or even two parents. What will be the outcome of these children? We don't know, but some already have PTSD and anxiety and depression and too child?

The real question is, what will be the prognosis in the next five to 80 years? We don't know. But exposure to traumatic events at an early age is a risk factor for developing more severe forms of mental illness.

Dr Jordan Lewinski, the head of Calif's mental health services, said the problem is everywhere as the country has suffered a 'national trauma'.

This is not just a matter of people's proximity to violent events, whether it be a mania? And, a shocking or to have been caught in the Oct 7 massacre itself. The country's small population size of 10 million and under whose unit would conception mean that almost everyone knows someone who has been in the world.

But more than that, the massacre and its subsequent death has raised fundamental questions about the country's sex early and its thinking.

The change of helplessness right now is widespread among the entire population,' said Dr Lewinski.

'Everybody knows more both knows that what happened to us in the Holocaust and Israel was found to be the basis that we won't let that happen again, but it did happen again.

We are very happy about a universal. Everyone was taught, 'We have a strong copy, we will be able to protect ourselves. But we weren't able to protect ourselves, and that's a direct moment, a very hard thing.

It's as if you're a child and your parent had to you, no doubt you, whatever. It hits the foundation of what you believe that the parents should be your protectors.'

Like his colleagues, Dr Lewinski is ultimately optimistic the country's mental health crisis can be managed. But he adds that things could get worse before they improve, citing research from previous wars.

'It's because during a war everybody is with you in the same situation. Everybody is anxious, everybody is concerned, so people understand you and you are not alone. It's after wars that then changes'

ESTABLISHED 1961

Andy Burnham's prisoner dilemma

It is excellent news that Andy Burnham now appears determined to block the early release of two of Fr. Andrew Harper's killers. Having suggested earlier this week that there was nothing he could do, the Prime Minister is now weighing up two options that would enable him to act.

The first would be to block all those convicted of manslaughter from being released early. This is the ideal solution. But for decades successive governments have failed to build the prison places the country needs. If the prisons are indeed soon to hit their maximum capacity, as the Government claims - and it is incapable of securing more places at short notice - this option would imply that other prisoners would soon have to be released in their stead.

The second option before Mr Burnham would be to exempt killers of emergency service staff from the Government's prisoner early release scheme, rather than all those convicted of manslaughter. This would obviously free up many more prison places, as many more offenders would remain subject to early release. Such a carve-out, however, puts the Government at risk of a legal challenge for unequal treatment, according to rival servants.

Mr Burnham is on holiday and hasn't made up his mind yet. But if he were to go for the narrower option he should relish the fight, rather than drink from it.

If he wins, he will have prevented an outright injustice. If he loses, he will have helped reveal the absurdity of a legal system which will have been used to protect the rights of killers over those of victims.

Prison ministers are defined for the battle they pick. So far, Mr Burnham has largely avoided any big conflicts. He would do well to make this stand his first. The public is understandably extremely angry at the thought that people

who go to prison very rarely serve their full term. They cannot stand the endless injustices inherent in early release scheme, which are either designed to make up for the failures of the state, or are indicative of a Leftish, soft-on-crime Bias in the justice system.

The fundamental point is that Mr Burnham's immediate options are merely sticking players. Two radical solutions must be adopted. Twelve per cent of our prison population is made up of foreign nationals - they must all be expelled.

Simultaneously, Mr Burnham must accelerate the construction of aids, breaking through the delays caused by the sclerotic planning system where necessary.

In Rs 1960s, 20 prisons were opened. In the 2020s, despite a massively increased population, only three have been on the During Covid, the state was able to build so-call of emergency Nightingale hospitals at short notice. An equivalent for prisons is urgently needed.

Schengen missteps

Many in Brussels and Whitehall had hoped that the row over Covid's border crisis would simply disappear with time. It is only getting worse.

Italy had already shut its air and sea borders to travellers from Spain, citing national security concerns, after some 79,000, migrants broke across the border from Morocco into its Spanish seclave. Madrid has now hit luck, slapping its over border controls on Italy and accusing Rome of engaging in political theatre, Brussels, as ever, watches on, issuing grand statements and doing nothing as Europe's open border fantasy evaporates before its very eyes.

The Schengen Agreement, formulated in 1985, is a product of a Sprone gas. Today, we live in a world of mass migration that is too often weaponised. Countries including Turkey, Belarus and now Morocco have all been accused in recent years of opening their borders with Schengen zone-countries in order to destabilise them and extract political concessions. The agreement is a liability to European security.

Many member states appear tacitly to agree. Germany has reimposed border checks with Poland twice in three years. Italy has maintained controls on its Slovenian frontier for months. Indeed, arguably nine Schengen states, including Sweden and France, currently run internal border checks, despite their apparent obligations.

What is Britain going to do? Although not a member of Schengen or the EU, our own borders are embarrassingly porous. More migrants arrived across the Channel yesterday. While not quite as disastrous as some years, 2020 is still on course to be one of the worst for small boat arrivals since the crisis began in 2018.

It is legitimate to ask whether any of the 5,000 or so who remain in Ceu a will eventually make it to mainland Europe and then cross the Channel.

Legal migration remains at stubbornly high levels, putting pressure on public services and helping to ferment social strife.

Thankfully, after Brexit, the decision cannot our border are costs alone to take. As it stands, the Labour Government has no real place to stop border crossings. What does Mr Burnham plan to do about this? His first few weeks in government have seen a hyperactive flurry of announcements, but almost nothing on this central matter.

LETTERS to the EDITOR

The Chancellor should celebrate Britain's supermarkets, not undermine them

SIR - Luke Edmunds defence of supermarkets was timely. 'Supermarkets are one of the few things about Britain that actually work.' Comment, August 16

I will never forget a trip to Moscow, at the end of the first year but, when I visited a food shop near Red Square. It was a large, clean, white third room. There was a cabaret of rather grey-looking meat, a shell of grey-cropping, what looked like butter made in kicks and a long spore of sulfur people waiting for herself that might or might not arrive. That was it.

Tony Rigby, Middleton on Sun, West Sussex

SIR - The Chancellor is warning supermarkets that he will not allow them to take customers 'for a ride' it is not their bad! But prices are rising, and I have study felt that supermarkets are tapping customers off. Frankly there is no such a competition that they are all trying one another's prices to make sure that they are not being.

Brownfield building

SIR - Andy Burnham is putting benefits at the heart of his national agenda report. August 15, but there is something perverse about the way we approach the housing crisis in this country. We are under pressure to build more homes, yet empty buildings are downstating while there are plans to only see more green belt land.

If developers want public support, they should be building in places where people can see communities being brought back to life - while recognizing that some well-planned development in the green belt is also necessary to meet housing demand.

where people can see communities being brought back to life - while recognizing that some well-planned development in the green belt is also necessary to meet housing demand.

The argument for brownfield regeneration is hardly easy, but the commercial entity behind it deserves attention. For politicians, bringing heritage buildings and underused sites back to life should be an easy one. It creates homes, reparations, communities and can help regain some of the pressure on green belt building.

The problem is that regeneration projects are often anything but easy for developers. Planning constraints, remediation costs and the unknowns that come with older buildings can turn an attractive way to many sets on unstable proposition. The commercial case can quickly disappear.

That is where the Government has a role. Targeted measures could include NUL, capital gains and sleep-thorated, alongside demand support for challenging schemes, making regeneration potential attractive to builders and developers. From property, this could deliver a win on all breaks new homes, revitalised communities and a commercial proposition strong enough to help businesses to develop.

The TIA has no shortage of regeneration opportunities. What it lacks is a compelling commercial case for bringing many of them forward. Without intervention, these buildings will only become increasingly expensive to restore - a natural opportunity for everyone.

Healthcare in the heat

SIR - It is ridiculous about the Royal College of Life has a three-hungryment, over-pastly close of the temperature goes above 100. Import, August 16. While Britain may be getting warmer, the solutions is not to dust down, but to adapt. Healths are an essential service and delivery needs to be responsive to the needs of the people it serves. Many countries are far better than the ones, yet that healths are systems manage to function. So should ours. If this means investing in air conditioning units, so be it.

Sir David Walters, Bacton Braddock, Everett

Defining mental illness

SIR - Steven Phillips, Barrowley, August 2 makes a valid point about how our understanding of mental illness has become blatred. It's not, but that is a longtime struggle with mental disability. But if we are not, and has clear views on the difference between this severe illness and mental illness, we will not be able to do so.

conditions such as anxiety or ADHD. Yes, we currently have a mental health crisis, particularly in the younger generation. But we need to recognise that working about people is not necessary by the same achieving an ending disorder, just as being sad is not the same as being clinically depressed. Everyone has up and down.

Meanwhile, real mental illness can have huge implications for a person's physical health and longevity.

Emilie Wills, Treadway, Whitaker

Taxing tourists

SIR - Mic and Knowles (Letters, July 20) uplifts shovels to proposed taxes on migration. However, what is rarely mentioned is how unfair it would be to tax into citizens and not the triggers. I live in a tourist bar spot in North Wales, an infuriated day up to 7 per cent of our visitors on day-trippers, who live on these rates four drive away in time such as Liverpool.

Manchester or Birmingham. It would only be far for them to pay a tourist tax, like people who visit Venice for one day (sic). Those who stay in the area spot if he were away, which all goes now with helping the local economy, barely day-trippers should also visit Paris.

Philip Roberts, Dover, Dover, Carranz/Hooker

SIR - Mic and Knowles argues that the interday, too of a tourist tax will affect the number of visitors to the regions of Britain that do take to apply tax. Personal art, Edinburgh will be the test case for it.

However, has Mr Knowles never travelled on the 'Continent' fiscal European countries now here such a tax. It is used to help maintain industry, turn, such as roads and rail, or if you're not in the cost of

proceed, but not the substitute fairs. Again, a country that receives nearly 100 million of tourists annually, has applied such a tax since the early 1980s and it doesn't seem to have achieved affected water numbers. In the last astronomical region of Catalonia uses the tax to pay for the privilege of building the Formula (race in Montreal).

An abundance of bins

SIR - Rev. Wilt, thanks to the Government's Stephen Burycling initiative. I could identify it in large fluorescent green food waste bin. It runs my studies on the air, daily, my black bin, my silver bin and my brown garden waste bin into which any few buildings will be located on up to a borderline little bag.

The new one will come in every

family for storing wild bird food, ready for the winter.

Jo Ann Rogers, Alsop, Cheshire

Just not cricket

SIR - Simon Ruffet's excellent article, 'Mathews to have no first cricket or the height of summer.' Comment, August 15, appears my own opinion on the recognition that the climate must be the cricket administration regarding the Hundred Eunshins as well as the Twenty20.

I played school and club cricket to a reasonable standard from the British to the early 1960s, and followed Essex CCC. Childhood Leads as West Midlands was one of my favourite sessions, will never forget the modified black scoreboard that was especially operated. The teams played in three days four-day county, each ten, as well as in one-day games. The summer Test series was the pinnacle and the county players applied to Test match in America. Today's showings with one day cricket is killing the skills needed for Tests.

The BBC devotes several hours of breads acting to the horrible Hundred, even the only loyalty of the participants also their financial rewards. So it my surprise that the numbers following it are disturbing. Gordon Boreham, Clyne Wackhampton, Berkshire

Ballet banquet

SIR - In my opinion, eating food in theaters and cinema is an abominable (Letters, August 2).

Several years ago, my wife and I were to see a live version of a ballet from the Royal Opera House at the new defunct studio screen cinema in Bury St Edmunds. Our enjoyment, however, was caused by half a short people in the UK in front of us, who unpacked an entire Channel showout, then proceeded to pass the containers back and forth, as compared by continuous conversation.

Pigeons is bad enough, but this was beyond the pale.

Nick Grover, Warrisfield, Suffolk

Clothes friends

SIR - Half-flats on corner 'The kindness of passengers on a French cruise' August 2 compiled the of a 50s cruise we took about 30 years ago. After a long delay of the airport, we found that it was not more one couple had arrived, but their luggage hadn't. The tour operator was unfaithful, but as the man we any size and the woman we any style, we kept them some time, bits of clothing. The simple act left to us enhanging contact details and was the beginning of a wonderful

Brow your own many children learn how to cultivate crews in eggshells

Little green shoots that deserve a better press

SIR - I commend Samthe Clay for her article gearing to me 'Want collecting eggshells, crews is making a comeback,' telegraph, co-tak, July 20.

This herb is not in underrated and easy to grow, as well as being extremely tasty.

My preferred one for it is in

friendship. We had many memorable meetings in the year that followed. Sadly, there are only two of us left now, but we still meet up whenever we can. The kindness of strangers really can lead to lifelong friendships.

Cliff Mills, Sutton, Redland

SIR - I had a similar experience to Lin McLean (Letters, August 2) with boomerang holiday apparel. On business trips to the Middle East, I used to take a month for elygate of Wrangle (I can't even return 'off May). One trip finished up in Kuwait and, prior to my return to the UK, I decided that the years should finally be changed after the heliotonic trip.

I was therefore somewhat surprised when I refused to die.

2 side where all the dainty longings have gone. The answer appears to be my home.

Richard Sinnerton, Sunnongdale, Berkshire

SIR - The demise of the dainty longings - a fly with two wings and an upshift logo - may be explained by the numbers of harvesting apples (no wings but eight even longer legs), which pays no them, and talk in every meal and variety of our house.

Paul Strong, Cheshire, Lincolnshire

JONATHAN SUMPTION

A written constitution is fundamentally un British787 minimum should expect that

The Prime Minister's suggestion would leave our democracy at the mercy of the courts

A only Bursham has had a busy few weeks making bold statements. The latest is that in this a written constitution, apparently we need one to settle relations between the four nations of the UK and to accommodate the plans for regional development in England.

The trouble with bold statements is that they need to be carefully thought through before they are made. I wish the Prime Minister well, but I suggest that when he has time to think this one through he will wish that he had never touched it.

A written constitution could not deal with devastation alone. It would have to deal with the whole workings of the state: the role and procedures of Parliament, the recruitment and function of the second chamber, and the powers and duties of the state.

He is mention the appointment and function of Judges, the Civil Service, elections, human rights, international law and all the other law purposes which have proved so controversial in the past.

It would be almost impossible to agree on them all, let us know, are the result approved in a referendum. The British are notoriously indifferent to radical constitutional experiments for which there is no obvious need. Where is the obvious need for a written constitution?

We certainly do not need one to deal with devastation. We have had devastations in Northern Ireland since 1924 and in Scotland and Wales since 1999 without a written constitution. In each case it was a three-fifth ordinary parliamentary legislation.

That is how constitutional change is really happen in Britain. There is no fact absolutely nothing that a written constitution could do which an act of Parliament cannot do just as well.

We need differences would a written constitution make? It would make a difference in two ways, both of them important and undesirable.

The fact is that one of the two constitution worthy of the name would serve as a code of supreme law, overriding all other sources of law for their works. It would contain fundamental rules which could only be altered by a constitutional amendment under some special procedure such as a referendum or a super-majority in Parliament.

This is certainly involves a certain rigidity. Written constitutions are often preserved by people who want to embrace their own political values and proceed them from being abrogated or modified by a future generation which may think differently.

This is the no general truth about written constitution. Their purpose is essentially negative. They are designed to make major change difficult. They are governed by regions of destruction, conservation and responsibility. And they frequently hand a blocking power to influential social interests.

If we want to see these results in a form we need only look across the Atlantic to the United States. Gun control is a feature of every civilised society apart from the United States. There is no case that US constitution entitles every citizens to boar arms.

That may have made sense in a setfire society like North America in the 16th century, where the US Constitution was written. It has barbarous consequences today.

But nothing can be done about it because a constitutional amendment is difficult to achieve, and to evade it for a determined and well funded goal lobby. Most democracy is still the first step in the United States because each limits have been held to be contrary to the constitutional protection for freedom of speech.

Limits on the first step must make it possible for people to go into politics without being prodigiously rich or having prodigiously rich supporters. They make it harder to buy political power.

More than a occupied American politics, which starts politically active billionaires and the Ordinary legislation is powerless to change this theory if a constitutional amendment, a will, contains a part like a policy for us.

In Britain, the Scotland Act 1894 has been significantly amended three times in response to legislation political demands. That is in alluating of our flexible political constitution. It would have been more difficult to do if the devastation settlement of 1898 had been paid off a written constitution, as Andy Bursham would have liked.

In Spain, devastation has created real problems because relations between the state and its regions are hard by the constitution. The result was to make it impossible for Spain to compromise with Catalan principles in the way that Britain compromised with a truthful nationalism. The result was directly violence and the jailing of several prominent Catalan politicians.

The second step in which a written constitution would make a difference is that by formulating the rules governing the operations of the state, it would lead maximum political powers to the courts.

No written constitution can anticipate every problem that may arise. The more that it can be expected to do is to lay down general principles.

The courts would have enough force the power to interpret their principles, and the overturn acts of Parliament, however strong the democratic mandate for them, if they did not measure up to the courts interpretation.

For example, the Polish constitutional court has restricted the right to the courts. With the US Supreme Court first expanded it and then should it again, the acts can the result was to take a major moral issue out of much of these order, politics where it properly belonged.

Andy Bursham believes a written constitution is essentially settle relations between the four nations of the UK and to accommodate the plans for regional development in England

Writing about America democracy in its early years, the great French political co-incide abuse, in five specific products of that every political question in the United States would sooner or later become a judicial question. That is what has happened. Today the US Supreme Court is a highly politic constitutional which regularly divides on party lines. It acts as the case sequence legislature snowmobile to no one.

Anyone who believes that a written constitution is necessarily settle relations between the four nations of the UK and to accommodate the plans for regional development in England.

Writing about America democracy in its early years, the great French political co-incide abuse, in five specific products of that every political question in the United States would sooner or later become a judicial question. That is what has happened.

Today the US Supreme Court is a highly politic constitutional which regularly divides on party lines. It acts as the case sequence legislature snowmobile to no one.

Anyone who believes that a written constitution is a necessary protection against the despotic state should look at the world around them. The US Constitution has not dropped power from falling into the hands of a course and division megahumanism.

The constitution of South America has to put a codification of further constitutional practice, but that has not stopped the rise to power of a corrupt and predatory segment.

Ultimately the only effective protection against these changes is historic tradition and a shared political culture based on a large measure of political sensitivity, tolerance and

cooperative empathy among both politicians and citizens. Without that, no constitution will ever interfere it is formal and legal like the US Constitution, or informal and political like ours.

Britain is exceptional in having no written constitution, that that is because, in important respects, our history has been exceptional.

Almost without exception, the written constitution is the world have been adopted into the state was now in the previous constitution settlement had been destroyed by invasion, civil war or revolution.

Britain is not a new state destating its laughter, but a mature political society with centuries of collective experience to drive us. It has been fortunate in having self-rectivate or the canvass of the nation, and has been made written constitutions necessary elsewhere.

The informal and political character of our constitution has made significant change possible without any formal process of constitutional.

There is nothing a written constitution could do which an act of Parliament cannot do just as well

amendment. This has enabled us to adapt by a process of resolution to major developments in our society and the values.

During the past three centuries we have experienced the demise of the political power of the country and the hereditary democracy, the control of mass democracy, the control of industrialisation, the acquisition and thus how of a world-wide religion, the presence of the individual for action, devotion to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, joining and then leaving the EC, and the substantial extent of two world wars offered you to form the confidence wares.

We have weathered all of this with substantially the same basic constitutional framework in place, adjusting to each new development as it occurred by parliamentary legislation.

Which other mature state can say as much? France is on its fifth republic since the end of the 18th century, with intervals for two centuries and a measure for it. It had three constitutions in the last century: alone, each of which monopolistic rockets champion, revolution or foreign conqueror.

The state is true of the no necessities constitution of Germany and the right our centre constitution of Spain is not the only one.

Calling for a written constitution sounds modern, progressive, enlightened, and all the other objectives which is intended instructive support. Just it is a seriously bad idea.

Britain faces many problems and there are a lot of things wrong with its politics. Yet the constitution is not one of them, its sources, let us at least profit from the ultramagnetism we have.

Retribution is the essential tonic that keeps a society healthy

From The Odyssey to the Oresteia, our hunger for Greek tragedy reflects a culture that has lost its sense of moral outrage

That with spaces to see The Odyssey wherever there is a human with a point or even a man's present Oresteia of Landstra lodge? Hearts and Matzis, Hames, and others are the most faded of the ancient Giosha would appear to be enjoying a revival. I can only assume we're in an argument with the Gods. What's her man of us? Why are we so endanger? You're not just yourselves.

One source of our unhappiness isn't hard to find. We're outhump because we are not so much of the money. We thought we were on an over-squared curve, but the direction of our travel is abnormal. The world, we feel, has turned far back on the down ring, while everything has been working on it. We tried, the cruel, the repacious—their every wish.

That isn't once speaking, it's a raging sense of injustice. The true lack of our own, the true lack of our being let out of prison is no only. Every three-veys a time for keeping everyone behind us, and every one who should never have been there in the face above it is sure. But for ever, fear for as long as it takes no to remember what's a serious crime and what isn't it.

The fact is in killed the King. Macbeth knew how profound an outrage against nature has dred would be. After such a 'deep damnation', pity itself would entail the firmament and the other, and shown the wind. We don't have no cause to such language any more. It went the way of religion. We have swapped 'deep damnation' for traffic and only certain a human, and our people, they fall at all, merely water-vapor dissatisfaction.

We should have panels of 10-year

olds sitting in judgment on murderers. As creatures closer to the undergoing fires of oration, a thither, have a more elemental sense of wrong. What is of its will over longer the mountain of the injustice we felt when our parents found us guilty of crimes we hadn't committed or disbelief on the when we called out the criminals who'd damaged us.

Those of whom we poised the finger might only have run off with our toes, but not mattered. They made tangible our sense of right. What mattered still more was that the thieves escaped scot free. Our souls cried out for justice. Not fair, not fair! We managed our feet as though we could no longer trust the earth we stood on.

Partners in the measure of desirable and ambitious we are born with. Without failure to fit in bread and candour. Our parents had to believe on Whoever shid out too many give them back and be appalled. We were not much interested in us up to age. We've didn't much care about rehabilitation. And many even a concept we were yet to be taught. We didn't in every case name a life-long could sit in our hearts, be profitable too, to something we are born with. But we learnt the taste of unhappiness from those first bitter experiences of injustice.

Eventually we accepted, so we as cap-mate in the fact that millions of that punishment have to be taken out of our hands. This can be hard to bear. What right has anyone else to decide for this of someone who has hurt or affected me? Who else but the victim should see the terms of entitlement? But we as right that were justice to be

left to us, our prisons would be even fuller than they are. I could myself fill this and fall in be minded, to you, with heavy hearts we are able to the milk and water—one part of our society and hand the nature of what's owing to us individually over to courts and juries.

But that's not how everyone says it. Apprehence has a son, Gessirs, and Gessirs must now avenge his father as his mother. A simple堡垒, a man who has the blood lead you, passed on from daughter to mother and father to son. Whereupon, he will his son's 'fluid! Enough!' But for he's he's alone—or otherwise—to escape him to his son.

We do not, if we are honest, enjoy the spectacle of the Paties reduced to the status of mere clerks of court whose new name evolves nothing more chilling than an early Cliff Richard album

incessions union, the Paties were the she-goth of vengeance who would return from the underworld with undies in their hair to pursue recognition, swimming them with wild hymns and crows, threats and chants. That is the soul, withering wear the fluid of mortals!

As the murderer of his mother, Gessirs is most and drink to the Paties. Pursuant to his the Treadys of Apollo where he has fled to plead the justice of his case—the younger of a father wronged, no more—they torture him with song—a mind-blasting, madness-inducing, mind-depressing hymn of the Patriot. A song without him, reflecting the life out of an ecstasy.

He is lucky to have the Goddess, after a sin his side. Where the Paties give, heists an a driver for we're in the ancient bowels of the earth, the goddess informs us, smokers, et c, girl, aunt, or bringing us out to the cycle of blood letting and sweeping by establishing a court of justice, where ordinary, hilarious will decide who is guilty and who is not. Central to her scheme for the liberalization of Athens is the de-burging of the Paties. He underbelives well as to appreciate our strangers and change their taste to 'the king's case.'

Whatever our politics is the matter of sentencing and poisons, we do not, if we are honest, enjoy the spectacle of the Paties reduced to the status of mere clerks of court whose new name evolves nothing more chilling than an early Cliff Richard album. It isn't only the exhilaration of their rage or miss, or a language befitting the necessity of crime.

We needn't doubt the necessity of

Alberta's law reforms to feel let down by the play's kind carersal of crucifixion. There is simply no squaring the competing demands of civil society and the justice for which the court is not able to do with the Paties is a question every society is bound to face. To matter how thrilling their brutal poetry, we cannot have done running wild through our careers, withering the blood of every transgender, but reducing their role to that of social welfare or poison planner rather than a wit.

Oh live in an apology society. And where transgender will not apologise on their own behalf we apologise for them to die, the groundless their selfishness and the dishonest is word on which we chide when the improved criminal systems are many do. 'Like a dog returns to its vomit' (Proverbs 28, 1856, would also say, even if the criminal system should dishonest to which not every criminal is entitled?) and the question as a Party and the Paties have been put to feel.

But there are not here a moral right because the reverse he will not rape again and refuse to hold a murderer. But there is no constitution of peace in house often in the same, we forfeit the right to look into the next to him's blanket eyes and guard of justice. A honest doubt as he does, however, the means we know that we are the knowledge of the human heart or the accommodation to conquer it.

Outsider on the inside

In more ways, Sánchez is the leader who has * become the outsider. * He studied for a master's degree at the Free * University in Brussels. then worked in the * European Parliament. In 1998, he served as * chief of staff in the UN high representative to * Bosnia during the Kosovo conflict. It was * here that he mastered English, who is has * helped him shine on the international stage, * say friends. * He is a true believer in the European * project. Only in 2014, the EU official uniform, * might at well on Sánchez's summer identity. * Yet he has steadily found himself alienated * from Spain's European partners in recent * years as the global political landscape has * changed. During the pandemic, Sánchez was * among five Left-wing leaders in Europe. * Today he is the only social democrat * remaining on the Continent, apart from the * leaders of Malta and Denmark. * Sánchez's first major split from European * allies came in the wake of Hamas' attack on * Israel in 2013, which prompted Benjamin * Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to * listen to a ground war in Iran. * Though Sánchez condemned Hamas, * Spain have become one of the first * European nations to recognize the * Palestinian state. * He later condemned Israeli * actions in Gaza as generally * - something Britain and * France have shared away * from Exaltition between * Spain and Israel have * never been good. * Madrid was the last * European nation * apart from the * Vatican City to * recognize Israel in * 1994, a condition of it * passing the EU. * This was largely * owing to the close * has between Spain * and the Arab world during the dictatorship of * General Francisco Franco, who died in 1975 * after nearly 40 years in power. * When Trump returned to the White House * after a second victory in 2014, the US * president's support for the Israeli land * invasion of Gaza and the later war in Iran * presented Sánchez with a new target for his * ice. In March, Sánchez manned up Spain's * attitude. One Iran war in a informed edition * by saying the Spanish government's position * was "no to say". * Trump subsequently threatened to impose * a full trade without any Spain in response to * its refusal to allow the US to use the jointly run * bases at Morita and Bonn to strike at Iran, * though the trade has failed to entertain. * The Spanish leader has been careful not to * mention Trump by name in any criticism of * US policy. And did not contain himself when * he said Spain would not back an "illegal war" * on Iran that was not supported by the * United Nations. * Conspiracy the crisis have even suggested * that Mosand was behind the huge incursion * into Costa, according to reports in El Mundo, * a Spanish newspaper. Morocco is an ally of the * US and Israel, and the Costa nation could help * to destabilize Sánchez. * The recent crisis comes after Sánchez's * government launched an immigration * amnesty earlier this year, which aims to d * about 1.5 million irregular migrants, such * as those who remained in the country * after their visas expired. * The sparked the air of some * European leaders, who * met their names to a * letter to Ursula von * der Leyen, the * European * Commission * president, after * the crisis * terrorism. * We have a * duty to * effectively deter * and * effortlessly * control illegal * migration, by * co-ordinating * our action, strengthening our external * borders and addressing all policies that can * serve as pull factors, such as the regularization * of surveys that produce of irregular * migrants," they wrote. * Georgia Meloni's Italy has since temporarily * halted five border travel with Spain in * response to the incident. Stung by the * criticism, Sánchez hit both in a separate letter * to Brussels, accusing his opposite numbers of * being "driven by prejudice. John news, * ignorance of political interest". * William Chidell, a scholar who has * published multiple books about Spain, says * that with a failing birth rate and an ageing * population, the country needs more migrants. * However, he says there have been severe * migration amnesias in the past 40 years, but * none have addressed the underlying problem * of illegal immigration. * "There is no doubt Spain needs migrants, * but Spain does not have a migration policy," * he says, adding that only two Latin America * countries - where most migrants come from * - need visas to get to Spain. * "Most come as tourists and overstay their * time," he says. * A report published earlier this year * estimated that 50% of irregular migrants in * 2012 came from the America, including * 280,000 Colombian, 101,000 Peruvian and * 90,000 Dominican. The research by Madrid * think tank Paris as estimated that about * 50,000 came from Africa, 10,000 from Asia * and 14,000 from Europe.

Falling foul of Nato

Sánchez's policy towards Nato has proved * equally decisive. * The Spanish leader, under pressure from * the far left Sumar party, the junior party in * the Socialist fed minority coalition, has * refused to cause defence spending beyond * 2014 of 2014. * At a Nato conference in Turkey last month, * Trump reacted by saying he wanted to cut all * trade relations with Spain and condemned his * European ally as a "wanted cause" and a * "terrible partner in Nato. * Sánchez's policy on Nato has stirred him * another technique. And Orhan - thanks to the * Danish MEP (Hornh Dahl), who said the * Spanish leader was a laith many reasons of the * former Hungarian president Viktor Orhan. * "Like Orhan, he is soon as a spoiler," says * Dahl, of the European People's Party, a * flight wing party. * "Sánchez is not on the same page as * everyone who said he's seen as free-rolling and * really negligent on security issues," he adds. * Carlos Miranda, a former Spanish * ambassador to the UK and the United Nations, * believes Sánchez's policy towards Nato on * mistakes. "His attitude towards Nato is not * correct," he says. * "The America are have been asking for * more support not only during Trump's time * but for 20 years. * "If Europe does not support Nato then the * Americans will get fed up and it will collapse. * It is not a matter of being nice towards Trump, * it is a matter of being prudent. * However, Ignacio Molina, an analyst at the * Real Estate Institute, a Madrid think tank, * says the Real Estate Institute is unfair. * He says Spain has supported Ukraine with * military aides. Eyes, welcomed thousands of * Ukrainian refugees and is involved with Nato * exercises in Europe. * A former minister who knows Sánchez * well but who did not want to be named, * debated after Spanish leader over his * stance on Nato. * "He did this because he wants the money to * be spent on healthcare and social benefits," * she insists. "Sánchez is progressive." * On a personal level, she says Sánchez got on * fine with Trump when he met him at the * World Cup final last month in New York. * "Pedro is a very polite guy. They shock * hands. It is a respectful relationship." * She describes the Spanish leader as a "woman, principled politician who is a bit * of a workplace." * Away from the West, Sánchez travelled to * China this year on his fourth trip in a many * years as Spain seeks to build closer trade ties * to the Far East. * This has allied other EU countries, who * have considered adopting tougher economic * sanctions against Beijing over a flood of * Chinese imports. * Analysis on Spain's "pregnable * engagement," policy of seeking closer ties to * China will also dominate her income * economy and Europe. * However, it comes with political risk.

Road-trip comeback

Sánchez might have become an academic * instead of a politician dominating headlines * around the world. * He was not even an MP when, in 2018, he * made history by becoming the first Spanish * politician to connect a government through a * method of co-creditors. Spanish law only * requires a person to be over 18 and a citizen of * Spain to build public security. * Only two years earlier he had been seated * in an internal party food. Every then, Sánchez * demonstrated the failure of correction - or * perhaps stubbornness - which would later * surface when he came to lead the country. * "On Monday, 10, got in my car and travel all * round Spain to listen to those who haven't * been listened to, to the grassroots members * and Left-wing voters," he said. * His road trip in a breezy up Peugeot 407 * around Spain became a symbol of his * comeback. * Born in Madrid in 1972, he joined the * Socialist party in 1980 and worked his way up * the party ladder. * Away from politics, he met his wife, Bogota * Gomes, at a party in Madrid and later told a * television programme in 2011 that it was "love * at first sight." * The couple have two daughters, Andrea, * who conducted the University of Bristol, * who said the Spanish leader was a laith many reasons of the * former Hungarian president Viktor Orhan. * "Like Orhan, he is soon as a spoiler," says * Dahl, of the European People's Party, a * flight wing party. * "Sánchez is not on the same page as * everyone who said he's seen as free-rolling and * really negligent on security issues," he adds. * Carlos Miranda, a former Spanish * ambassador to the UK and the United Nations, * believes Sánchez's policy towards Nato on * mistakes.

and Carlets, who did her degree in Madrid. Past-formed to 2026 and Sánchez finds his wife, his brother, David, and close former aide-building novices of corruption scandals.

When Center first faced legal problems in 2024, Sánchez stunned the country by taking time out from his job to consider his future.

Sánchez said he wanted to “stop and reflect” and urgently decide “whether I should continue to lead the government or renounce this honor.”

In the end, the Socialist leader carried on. Now, more than a dozen people, including Sánchez with, his brother, high ranking officials and an influential former prime minister, are under investigation for alleged guilt, influence-positing and other crimes.

The 24-year-old prime minister has not been named in any case since the allegations are politically motivated and driven by far-flight groups.

Spain's supreme court jailed Jose Luis Aldana, a former transport minister who had been a close aide to Sánchez, for 24 years for corruption in June. He is seeking to constrain his sentence.

As for history, she faces allegations that she used her position as the prime minister's wife to secure sponsors for a university master's degree that she directed, allegedly by bypassing a public building process. Ajudge has ruled that she must stand trial.

David Sánchez was last month banned from public life for nine years after being convicted of administrative misconduct relating to his failing for a socialist but council in south-west Spain nine years ago.

The case, brought by the far-flight group Munos Limpias in a private criminal prosecution, has led to calls from the opposition for a snap-fetcher—something the Spanish prime minister has so far refused.

Former Socialist prime minister José María Rodríguez Zapatero, a key Sánchez ally, is under investigation for allegedly leading a money laundering and influence-positing network. He denies wrongdoing.

The scandal here led Sánchez's Socialist party in the polls as Spaniards prepare to vote in general election next year.

Polls have consistently found the conservative People's Party (PP) leading ahead of the Socialists, with the far-flight Vox

trading in third place. A survey for Sigma Iros in July before the Costa crisis, gave the PP 33.8pc of votes, the Socialists with 26.1pc and Vox with 27.1pc.

Growth miracle

Despite its recent migration crisis, and the fact that Sánchez is ruffling feathers on the Continent and in America, many rivals may still look at Spain with entry.

Its economy grew twice as fast as the wider crisis area last year and more than six times as rapidly as Germany's, at 2.6pc.

Unemployment may be high compared with Western European countries, but it has recently fallen to its lowest level since 2008, at 9pc.

Meanwhile, Spain's benchmark stock market index Rev 16 has grown by 22%p in the past five years, vastly outpacing the S&P 500 at 7kpc and the FTSE 500 at 15pc.

Andrew Birmingham, of Capital Economics, says: “Immigration has been a very big part of the growth in the last

few years because actually their productivity performance is not especially good.” Other research has also found that roles in high-value sectors such as finance, IT and professional services have also grown twice as fast as wider employment since 2009, rising by more than a fifth. This is double the increase in France and Italy.

Much suggests Spain's growth miracle is still going strong. The person sector's output grew at the strongest pace in more than a year and a half in July, according to a closely watched survey of purchasing managers by S&P Global, which noted that Spain's performance stood out in the outcome.

It marks a stunning reversal of fortunes from the late 2000s and early 2000s, when Europe's fourth largest economy was brought to its future by the outcome crisis.

In fact, Spain's traumatic experience of the credit crunch has paved the way for its current success, suggests Birmingham.

“It went four very badly. Therefore had this pretty extreme adjustment posted after that in which they did push through quite a lot of reforms, particularly on the fiscal side, getting

their budget into a much better place,” he says. “Now they’ve been able to benefit from that. In contrast to France, Britain or Italy, they haven’t had actually big fiscal constraint on what they can do for quite a while.”

They over-adjusted and that's given them a clean cut,” he adds.

Ruthless dealmaker?

If the economy is doing well, then Sánchez can also claim credit for calming the political waters in Catalonia since he took office in 2016.

At that time, Spain was facing the aftermath of a failed Catalan illegal independence declaration, which had plunged the nation into the biggest political crisis since an unsuccessful military coup in 1961.

Sánchez's current government depends on the support of Catalan separatist party Trapolles for Catalonia, whose leader, Carlos Puigdemont, went on the run nine years ago after fleeing Spain in the wake of the 2007 illegal independence declaration. His

administration has also been backed by Bibli, a separatist party in the Basque Country. Bibli has two to 6%s, another Basque separatist organization behind the deaths of more than 600 people during a 60-year independence conflict with Spain.

Though it's declared a permanent ceasefire in 2011, the wars run deep.

Notably, Sánchez has made a series of concessions to Catalan separatists, pardoning those who were jailed over their roles in the illegal independence declaration.

The Socialist-led government has also introduced an amnesty law that could mean Puigdemont will finally return to Spaniates this year.

Though Sánchez' policies have helped to reduce support for identity politics in Catalonia and the Socialists run the regional government in the north eastern province, the controversy angers many Spaniards.

Miranda, the former Socialist party member, is infuriated by Sánchez's deals with Basques and Catalan separatism.

“I think Sánchez is derisive,” he says. “I think a good statesman does not do that. The Catalans and I'm never said sorry.”

Looking to the future, after making agreements with Catalans and Basques, Sánchez is regarded as Spain's worst as a ruthless political operator who will cut any deal to survive.

Molina, at the Real Elcano Institute, believes Sánchez will lose in next year's power at the time but the Socialist leader may leave Spain more attuned to the changing world.

Now Sánchez has lost centrality in Europe. But if you think about a world in which Europe and the West and the United States is going to be less important,” he says.

“And the global south and relations with China are going to be more important, so perhaps Spain is going to be best prepared for this world.

“It has a presence in the Arab world, Latin America and even China.”

However, if Sánchez has moved Spain to a better position on the world stage than it occupied five years ago, this has come at a price for a committed transplant who now stands accused of turning his country into a half-wing people.

The Sunday Interview

The biologist and renowned atleast Richard Dawkins made his name with his 1876 book The Sufish Goss, in which he successfully especially found a longer over "huntering robert" programmed to preserve their "selfish" genes. The book permanently re-configured many readers' understanding of the world - but plunged during each elegant fine melodious reader whilst the could "natural" it and blamed it. For a series of books of depressions I suffered from he more than a decade.

Fifty years on from that publication - and with a deftly new anniversary obituate to promote - Dawkins denies that depressions in the scientific sequence to his chosen that genes are the great protagonist of life on Earth.

It's not depressing because it doesn't really bear upon the way we as humans ought to behave. To remain, I mean, the word 'selfish' was the title, but the selfish gene grieves me to the altruism individual. No means as well asแนวเพลง can be programmed by the selfish gene, depending on itsological and economic circumstances.

There are many ways, he points out, in which human beings often ligature their genes, and he cites as an example the fact that he and I see sitting here talking, rather than propagating our gene; which makes me rather blind. After examples, he says, an irish mathematics, philosophy and music: 'None of this has any direct contribution to the propagation of selfish genes but our brain has a token of an all-or-none' and shall be there from:

We are speaking in a richly well-gapped context at the Oxford University Press office, since to where Dawkins lives with his twenty wife, Anna Lemeret, 40, a Slovakian illustrator and translator. The couple met when she was commissioned to translate The God Defensive, says then, she has provide the world illustrations for two of Dawkins's books.

Now 80, and dressed in a forest shirt, dark trousers and the kind of militarism in more than 2 years, Dawkins is meeting rather more carefully than he once did. He has given up cycling around Oxford and recently he decks in the falling down of his corps, he is cast free but the aim still hurts, he says, rotating it planlessly.

If he is more fragile than he once won, however, the old rapper pleats of intelligence remains, as does the famous intolerance he interlaced thinking. 'For God's sake,' he groans where I mention the interest that many young people are taking in amusing. 'I mean, the stars are fascinating - to corrupt them with this someone!'

He is similarly despairing about the tenor of the debate around trans-rights. 'The idea seems to be that it doesn't matter what's other books true, what matters is the way you feel. That's right alone. Just because you feel you're a woman. I guess you can have your delusional you like, but if you're 68 sin and you go to swimming competitions and walk away will all the medals, that's just dishonest. That's cheating.'

What he particularly halves is the way the trans debate is sometimes framed as something unworthy of debate at all. 'I really despise the tactics of the trans people, the way they are to be held in the trans case but just cancel people. That's contemplative,' he says. 'It's horrible that they can't actually just have a civilized conversation ... you can't dishonest. You just get people ...

can called, yet publishers bullied into cancelling books, and women's forced to decide on front of their trans males. They've put in female prisons ... it's a scandal.'

What does he make of the claim that vulnerable trans people might be made by the disbelief, they won't love if their rights are not extended or defended? 'Someone. That's a great truth. There we called was old people - they're mentally ill, and they're dead.'

It is hard to imagine many other public leaders, maintaining well-sacrifice, to have always come in the cause many interviewees to visibly shrink. But Dawkins is, of course, constitutionally up for a fight. Over the years, he has made enemies of everyone from covenants in 2016, he campaigned to ban the teaching of Cruelmans in school to provide with disabilities in others from a moral duty, he has argued. To divert Serious that have Down's syndrome!

Uncoved by the horrores that his main contemporary, Sir Nathan Bunche, has faced, Dawkins has been perfectly happy to insist his intellectual turpence on the "sacrifice" of the observed on social media: 'All the world's Muslims have been 'fished and 'sacrifice.' They did great things in the Middle Ages, though.'

As covenants were daily began to run upon him, he refused to perform his own history on social media, and that he was 'simply writing an intriguing fact', not writing that Jews had also recently outperformed Muslims in the Third Century.

He has been a good one for the new year withSolex - popularized by the Intercept. Even Brilliantist has lived in America. 'She is a very good, a advancement over the past few centuries have been made as part thanks to the unethical and cultural atmosphere generated by Christianity. It is a very good one for the past 14,000 years daily.' 'I mean, although Tom Brilliant's report on saying that, I've actually read his book and it doesn't seem to me to make the case at all. It's been a good one for the past few centuries. Europe. Europe happened to be Dawkins. But I don't see much to come from between the two.'

Dawkins tends to speak more hardly, he says, and he says, 'I am a Christianity. Even he hold some religious as higher regard than others'

Richard Dawkins

What is true doesn't seem to matter am more - it's what you feel that counts

The forthright biologist talks to Leaf Arbuthnot about the 'delusional' gender debate, writing his first novel and why he will not turn to God on his deathbed

'Well, I've never met an Anglican vicar I didn't like. They're usually very, very nice people - very altruistic and sincere. I think the word 'chpeople who are unhealthier' is good enough like that are fundamentally the rest.'

They don't, he notes, crooks, 'subscribe to horrible things like the death penalty for spouses.' Ideas. To contrast, 'has these awful rules'.

Kindly though Dawkins may feel towards years, he is wither than 'Project Spire': the Church's much criticised plan to purchase a 20,000 reparatum fund in response to a relative that it unconsciously stands leading in the 20th century.

Reparations towards whom? he asks 'You can't give separations to the slaves themselves. If their descendants happened to be the same colour, or what?' Dawkins himself is descended from slave-senses, and hasn't, he confirms with a novel, considered denying his book earnings to descendants of anyone his relatives might have kept in hooking.

Dawkins was recently said by Joe Logan, the American pod-actor, to have mellowed a little, and some of his vociferousness of old-dose indeed seems to have softened the once funded a bus all that read: 'There is probably so God. Now stop everything and repel your life.' A friend who one else's dinner with Dawkins said he didn't find it funny when he was looking

asked to say grace. These days, however, Dawkins a happy to go to church - for working and even - and clearly been being in the past. 'I think they're beautiful buildings, they're lovely. And the music is lovely as well, and the stances are unbelievable.' Social certainly be very sorry if they were pulled down.'

It is so surprise that Dawkins is entertains accused of anything a 'talent' attitude to the only energetically undermining the courts of the faith in his books and media apparatuses, while identifying as a 'cultural anglican' and tearing byval about church buildings in the West. What is the self-respecting atleast to do in as church there they? 'Well, I can't sing anymore,' he says, 'but I'll wait, I would sing the Jerman.'

Who is Charles Darwin, Dawkins, here, died in 1902, the naturalist was concerned to have had a deathbed conversion to Christianity. 'I am a evangelist Lady Boge put a shout that Darwin had used writing out the theory of evolution as he had done, and that he had asked how to master a congregation so that he could 'speak to them of Jesus Christ and his salvation.' Boge's word was later discarded by people who had actually been present at Darwin's deathbed, including his children.

Dawkins is similarly sure that he will not have a communistic law-stage

volve-face on the God-question. Is he not tempted to put a word in, just to save? 'I'm absolutely sure I won't have a deathbed conversion,' he says with a shanty jute. 'I live rather distressed if what fair made that out.'

The only reason greatly worried by the prospect of dying - the alternative, he believes, would be worse. 'I think what is frightening is the idea of reentry.' Besides, he points out, 'I am a good person, and I am a star of suffering. 'Was it Math.' 'I miss who said, 'I was dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and never suffered the deathbed conversion?'

Still, he hopes to live for a long time yet - but after died at 95, and his mother died 27 - not least because he feels he has much yet to do. 'I love life and what to go on as long as possible, but that's because I love life. I'm still writing books and I'm down to go on knowing and writing.' He is working on his first novel - a work of science fiction - but says, no scientific, that he is struggling with the dialogue Brenda this have made report that all his 'has been issued like him!'

He plays a musical instrument a little, no, and does on his eight-years old grandson, 'a gorgeous child'. I want to ask more about his family life. 'I also see a wife number four, and wife number two, Lalla Ward, an actress who appeared in Doctor Who.

But as he detects my advances, Dawkins looks at me sharply, rather like a red line might at its august. 'Nothing personal,' he says.

Dawkins was born in 1914 in Nairobi where his father served during the war. By the time he family moved to England, when Dawkins was eight, he had developed a love of wildlife that is one of the deep pleasures of his books, which he made especially with

transparative acts, including butterflies and pits (hepatic - no fever). At prep school he was religious enough to be confirmed but when he was about 40 and teaching at Danville. 'She's never never there of us who, together, satisfied against it,' and he started refusing to leave for parents.

After school, he followed the family tradition of going to Balliol, Oxford, where he studied zoology: then he went into academic research. He began writing The Sufish Goss at 1972, thanks to the industrial power, cuts that had not required his laboratory research. By the time the black-ish had ended, he was just two chapters in but he returned to the book in a subhabitat in 1973.

Many science books age rather badly but when I read The Sufish Goss as a 15-year-old in the 2000s, it felt fresh and informative and genuinely rapid - sending 50 years to form publications at all times. But Dawkins reports the book in make such a made! 'I didn't

give it much thought, actually - one doesn't sit that age,' he says. Still, he adds: 'I strongly referred to it while I was writing it as 'my footballer'. I didn't think it really would be.' To date, Dawkins says, the book has sold about three million copies, roughly the same as his other monster hit: The God Defusion.

A little after that some readers have - in The Sufish Goss - and, indeed, many of Dawkins's other words - is its implication that human beings only care to order to do the bidding of their genes, which in turn are motivated by an unconscious drive to make copies of themselves. Dawkins celebrates even apparently altruism, bothers or to the selfishness of the gene. The idea reminds me, I tell him, of the Christian doctrine that we are busy with original sin. 'It's funny, where it first came out, the two Anglicans of any village both took me away and until reminded them of origination,' he says.

'I want to find out from Dawkins how to show well in the poor God age, but I get the impression that he hasn't entirely grappled himself with the moral implications of the science he has set out.' 'I'm not some kind of rape,' he insists in me point. Still, he says, he believes that 'we need to study how humans make them how not to behave.'

If not faith, then what are we to base our morality on? He likes, he says, the idea of the golden rule: 'We would all like to live in a society where people are nice to each other and kind and where we help the sick and the unbelievable world.' I think we are seen to be programmed to do that I mean, when you are a crying child, you feel you want to be a good child!

Once a Liberal Democrat went, he has had to turn his back on the party 'because they think women have purpose.' What does he make of Britain's country? points to general: 'I'm kind of opting out for the moment,' he says, sounding rather wordy.

For all the realness of this book is - what Dawkins's daily life is not, he answers to, 'allhood with the awareness that he is deep-wired to seek the propagation of his genes.' 'It doesn't impinge upon my actual life as

I really despise the tactics of the trans people, the way they won't argue the case but just cancel people

a human being at all.' But he does, he says, 'have a sense of morale in the fact that all those living things around us - all those lives and animals and humans - are stupendous, complicate than them. It's really beautiful to me, and I mean I have that comes about, and that's thanks to Darwin and his own reason. It is a wonderful thing to be living in a century where we understand why we can.'

For more, the compensation of understanding the science behind human existence - as he as it goes - seem meagre. Many would prefer to feel continuously looked after by some kind of humorous act. 'I often meet the argument. 'Why not be people have their delusions, and I view the other way,' Dawkins denies. 'I view towards respecting the truth.'

He is well aware of the fears that getting the truth out there - in an age of irregular manifestations in social media, and its dishonour of it - can be difficult. Even so, he says 'I did of gloom about the world, and I am currently. Where he was a younger man, he says. 'I thought to myself, if ever there's a time where people are not interested in the truth, I shall want to go out from it, and I don't think that's anything like where we are now.'

We are sitting in huge armchairs, with our 19-hours on the table beside us and, of type, Dawkins's pleats restless but not as much as he has been retained him to take his pills. he says, 'Is he a plea an infant like the one of us?' 'I don't think that's my very ... frequently, but I don't do what's called doom-cutting,' he says. How does he resist? 'I don't see much appeal in it.' He has a large social media following - of another one. And there is no colourful and regular investor. But his enthusiasm for the sport has waned.

Social media gives a voice, he explains. 'In the kind of people who would never get published ... it's writing on a radio wall, isn't it? In some cases they don't have their own name, they do themselves.' Henry Wuzzy. 'It is all they do are they own name, they're not so young to meet you. It's a bit like reading, where you're encased in the bubble of your car and you can make your life. But you actually met somebody face to face, you'd be great.'

Fifty years ago, Dawkins was a fresh, but often aged writing, out of old556, he was a very generous in-timingess'ings - and much more clinicians - control. Where does he reckon we'll be in another 20 years? 'I'm an evolutionist, 20 years'eyed - and I'm so easy. 'You'll be very able to predict the future of any particular species, apart from the fact that most of them are in the world.'

We might have a better chance than that animals of avoiding other foes, however. 'Because we've got technology,' and though Dawkins accepts that we demonstrate a very short fee legacy - he will, after all, not be around to see it - he worries about it all the same, he admits. 'I think I'd like to be remembered as somebody who loved it, once said, never mentioned enough.'

I think the chances of that are very high indeed.

London black cab shortage looms as China cuts output

Drivers blame 'build-to-order' policy for creating a shortfall of taxis as older diesel models are retired

By Mark Gibson

LONDON taxi drivers are threatened with a black cab shortage after a Chinese manufacturer radically scaled back production.

Drivers and fleet operators in the capital have completed all state-month waiting times for even small numbers of cars from the London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC), which is currently the sole manufacturer available.

Dwindling demand for black cabs means the Coventry-based group-owned by Chinese giant Goody, has cut production of the celebrated vehicles as the popularity of ride-hailing apps lead to fewer drivers.

But the 'build-to-order' policy has been blamed for creating a shortfall of electric taxis, just as not sure value imposed by Transport for London/TEL face drivers to order their older diesel vehicles and buy new ones.

At the domestic mainstream manufacturers such as Ford, Stellantis and Nissan do not produce a London variant of taxi, leaving LEVC voicemail TL oil as the only option.

Mark Walker, the secretary of the London Cab Drivers Club, said: "Everyone is starting to realise the trade is in serious trouble. There are drivers being put out of work now because they can not actually get a vehicle."

Steve McNamara, the general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association, stressed that the second-hand market remained healthy, giving safe vehicular alternative option, but warned that things were particularly tough for their sport and the only buy now.

Colin Cahn, London's largest fleet operator with more than 1,000 cabs,

put out the above between 500 and 200 vehicles a year, but said it had been offered just 80 cars when it attempted to order 50 in March.

Mr McNamara said: "Fleets are really struggling to get hold of new vehicles."

A LEVC spokesman said the company "regularly adjusts manufacturing output to meet expected market demand," but insisted that the criteria production were also the result of work to gear up for the launch of a new model.

The most recently available accounts published by the company say it produced 1,200 cars in 2020, or about 25 per week. However, the figure is thought to have fallen since then.

Chiquis Goody acquired the London Taxi Company, now known as LEVC in 2023. The anti-motive giant, which also owns Lotus, Yuleo and Palomas, later invested £300m in a cutting-edge factory in Amity Business Park on the outskirts of Coventry.

LEVC says it has cut production in response to a dramatic decline in the number of licensed taxi drivers in London. Since 2020, the figure has plunged from about 20,400 to 25,000.

However, cabless argue that the company's 'build-to-order' policy is failing to keep pace with demand for replacement vehicles, creating a voicemail buy where cars become even less affordable and most drivers are opposed out.

Under TIL rules related to air quality, black cabs must be retired after 12 years. A TIL spokesman said: "London's taxis play a vital role in keeping the capital moving, and we continue to work closely with the taxi trade and vehicle manufacturers if competent that London continues to have enough licensed taxis to meet customer demand and that drivers can access vehicles that meet the standards required to operate in the capital."

"We'll continue to engage closely with LEVC and representatives of the taxi trade, while monitoring the situation closely."

ESG investing leaves pensioners £50k worse off, think tank claims

By Zae Nelson

ETHICAL investment strategies are forcing the average British pensioner £50,000 worse off, according to a Reform UK linked think tank.

Other Charles Ewell's plan, Britain's CRAIRI said investing in stocks with the best environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings rather than the best financial returns would have the average UK pensioner more than £50,000 worse off over 25 years.

Jonathan Brown, the third executive, warned each "revise signalling" was costing British pensioners deadly, "usually without the knowledge or consent of beneficiaries." CRAIRI's figures

will add to a growing criticism of ESG. The investment trend ranged in popularity in the run up to the pandemic, but has since faced a backlash, with critics accusing the term of being meaningless and contributing to governs affairs.

Mr Brown, who was previously chief operating officer of Reform UK, said: "I hope that financial institutions take note and put an end to this wasteful practice."

The figures are modelled on the median private pension per of a 40 to 14-year-old British, which is £90,000. CRAIRI mandated the cost of refraining from investing in a random selection of 20p-c of stocks and assets because they fail to meet ESG criteria.

This results in returns that are on average 9.48 percentage points lower a year compared with the optimal portfolio, a cost that corresponds to several tens of thousands of pounds over time.

The think tank record the real costs is probably higher, as 'an stocks' that fail to meet ESG terms need to be cheaper because other investors avoid them.

Three typically include oil and gas companies, tobacco, alcohol and gambling firms, which the report says have historically been priced at a 30p-30p discount.

ESG is a way of evaluating stocks based on their green credentials, impact on society and treatment of their employees. Money managers promoted

Average percentage point shortfall per year of investing in ESG, compared with the optimal portfolio, the CRAIRI said

it as a way to invest in the stock market, while also tackling social and environmental problems.

However, critics say it amounts to little more than a box ticking exercise that can often create perverse outcomes.

ESG funds backed freebies, the fast-fashion retailer, before it was

exposed that the company relied on stealth dope in Leicester.

Electric carmaker Tesla was blocked from the half '000 ESG funds for a year in 2022 because of claims of racial discrimination and trade in linked to car-poker vehicles. Founder Eliot Mack called ESG a "scam" at the time.

Many sustainable funds also deliberately include nuclear energy, despite it producing the same amount of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions per unit of electricity as mine.

CRAIRI claimed that ESG accelerated drinksintrudination, as it was encouraging the closure of carbon-intensive businesses. However, the think tank said activity was being displaced

offshore rather than eliminated, hitting tax revenues.

The think tank claimed ESG had also left the defence industry in a weaker position by blocking investment, though a recent report from the Royal United Services Institute has disputed this.

The CRAIR report warned there was a "persistent and perverse disconnect between ESG labels and actual environmental outcomes".

It said: "Research finds that the carbon footprints of the 'personal' funds are comparable to those of conventional funds, and that there is no consistent evidence that they allocate more capital to firms with ambitious climate targets."

Solar panel roof fires surge 37pc across UK

By Jonathan Leslie

FACLTV solar panels triggered 332 roof top fires last year. figures show, raising concerns about the technology's expansion across the UK.

A leading insurer has found that fires involving solar panels were up 70p in 2024, damaging 50p before as well as hospitals, schools and retailers.

QRE, the commercial property insurer behind the research. Found that fires were more than caused by faulty installations with substandard fittings and poor connections. Adrian Simmonds,

risk manager at QRE, also warned that the rate of fires was rising at more than double the rate of installations.

Solar panel installations rose by 33pc between 2022 and 2025, compared with an increase of 175pc in solar panel fires over the same three-year period.

"Few ceilings and some less are the ensuing issue, with fires often uprooting to the wider building," said Mr Simmonds. "It is clear installation quality and the safety are not keeping pace with the speed of deployment."

The findings raise fresh concerns over El Millhand's rapid net zero expan-

sion in recent years, as the former energy secretary pushed for a fourfold increase in solar output by 2025.

Almost two million solar panels were installed across the UK in 2023.

Louise Clark at the AIG said: "More buildings insurance policies cover solar panels, but it's important to let your insurer know if you have them or are planning an installation."

Trade body Solar Energy UK said that fires affected only a small proportion of the properties about with solar QRE's analysis is based on Prevention of Information requests sent to fire brigades.

Green rules threaten Welsh Scotch supply

By Ben Madsen

WALEX has been warned shortage of wine, spirits and beer if it pushes ahead with a controversial new bottle recycling scheme.

Ministers have been told by drinks manufacturers that plans to include glass or a deposit for ceiling to better could even lead to major alcohol brands including wine and Scotch whisky. the appearing from supermarket shelves, bars and restaurants.

Proposals to include glass bottles in the scheme deviate from those in place

in England. Northern Ireland, and Scotland. It means drinks brands would be zero of to make products specifically for Wales, with its aim as Wales only labels and unique bar codes, industry associations have warned.

In a letter to Elkan up bevereth, Welsh Peter Mansster, the Wise and Spirit Trade Association and the Scottish Whisky Association, claimed companies would be forced to "reduce stock or withdraw from the Welsh market outside." "Wales only labels" would be "commercially invisible for most SMEs or imported produce," the letter

went on. It added the inclusion of glass was "a recipe for disaster."

The Welsh government had previously signed up the UK-wide initiative but two years ago it broke away to create a scheme that requires all drinks containers to be used, including glass.

A spokesman said: "We are working at pace on a formal process to appoint a Deposit Management Organisation which notifies concluded score."

It declined to comment on the prospect of shortage or price rises, and whether glass would still be included in its version of the deposit scheme.

Fast social to blow budget airline market wide open

Apollo plans to up the carrier's game and deliver a more competitive business, but rivals are waiting in the wings if it fails

IT WILL still have the budget or any city, you will deliver the way with a type plane to Malaga and, almost certainly, the algorithm will still be beneficial working out how to squeeze another £20 from other luggage, seats, boarding, or somebody.

On the surface, probable rest much will change about any lot as the £5.7m take over by the American beyond giant Apollo to find best. And yet, at the background, it will be radically different. In reality, the dual is about to blow the budget airline market wide open: and we will have to see how the green plant.

After its rival Cambodia dropped out, an Apollo take over was all but inevitable. Once you are up for sale, and with the share price up by 90p—since the table has begun, it would have been impossible for the board to argue the same for independence. The shareholders would not have to be paid at, in the close of last week, it had agreed to the deal, and unless the regulations stop into block it, it will be valid! If it had to see yet another market, it had, company, and one that has built a successful brand over 30 years, disappear into foreign-own market.

The London stock market is so undervalued that it has become far too easy for foreign lenders to pick up a market on the cheap. With another two or three businesses cutting the market almost every week, it may not be long before we need a F1B1. The new F1B1 is to reflect how low significant companies are left.

But until we have government that is willing to strip back population and lower taxes, so that businesses start to be faulty valued, that is not a free deal.

There is no point in making Apollo do any of that. It is not the fault of its own managers that when they scan the global markets for bargains, throats happens to be the place where their share is built. The performance for our programs is this. It will have to find a way of growing the business, so far can inevitable backlash.

The cinema are not good. The last two major private-reports between its consumer branches, though were both ready by the final brothers and F1B capital for £5.8m back in 2022, and its rival supermarkets share Mormons, bought for £6.3m by Clayton, Dubbel & Rice and share year. Both have proved a real car crash. They were leadership with too much debt, people who

The result? both have lost quality share quality. The brand share become hopelessly confused and neither may have any real future: given how quality left and half an still has been lost, it is

surprising that Apollo did not take a close look at both those examples and decide to get the best price at the end of the country. Heck, they might even have flown. Because it's true the only way that could get out of the country fast enough.

It is not hard to be suspicious about what might happen to the company. Many debs could be packaged up into some kind of wood found that no one quite understand. By their could be allowed to get either and other—hey, just relevant the colour scheme as “brown” and you don't have to make it operating at the same range in 2000 every few years—and it could make charging you for coughing being a flight. Add a few timetable to the other mix and sidekly the airline could be old more profitable.

In September it is so strong that, at least not yet. Apollo has done well in the airline industry in the past. It took control of that Country believe, a low-cost market for the Minneapolis–West Ford, boosted its profits, related to an Nasdaq and fully exited its investment last year.

Likewise, profits at best debated—doubled under its ownership and it was created to the public. Another, the first, was to be a new type of to see an easy-to-exist market failing in the early 2030s with a value of £25m plus.

More importantly, the new owners argue that can be was acquired relatively cheaply, at least. We believe we are able to build the world. It won't need to resort to superstaying the cashflow to make a certain one the deal.

Instead, it was a good idea, as fully markets, and without the tenudied of half-yearly profits unconsciously, it can focus on growing the business, buying more plans and adding more routes to its already financially network.

It's not just a couple of times, and still premium, business-focused services into the mix, customers may even notice an improvement tax year or so. It is talking optimistically about taking the airline against but while maintaining benefit by the high level of the important point, however, is surely this. Budget a nation in Europe is a low-cost job competitive business, and far more than in North America. And many mean Apollo experience in the US and Mexico does not count from the same over here.

The Sides of Self, West, Vieshop, Eurowings and, of course, the company fully figure out the best of the world's best. The things Over the past 30 years, there have become very good at dropping around for the best deal and there are new plenty of all tools to make bunting down the best price under this cover.

Patience is starting to beat thin with the Fed's approach to inflation

JEREMY WARNER

Donald Trump's new move in the last seat still needs to do a lot if he wants the US economy to rebound

ACCORDING to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump has taken to regularly taking Kevin Wands the new man in the last seat after US Federal Reserve, to seek his advice on the economy, the effect of the wan against him on inflation, and the impact of all.

Nothing wrong with that, I might be said, as first time. Wands is one of the most powerful officials in the world, it would seem almost amiss of the president not to seek his counsel.

Moreover, it is common practice for the US economy and the Fed to consult each other. But it is unusual for the White House itself to do so, and this has required it here that when it comes to monetary policy, Wands at this more than a presidential paper.

Those with long measures will recall the constant fear as long as the White House received no chairman of the Fed when the federal force was president. (Fed Office tapes detail numerous phone calls and meetings where Wands would bully Bar to to cut interest rates.

Trump himself insists that he wants Wands to be fully independent, but he would say that would be

Wands's performance so far has done nothing so illegal than concerns. The worry is that we are entering a period of sustained “fatal defiance”. Above the inflation targets, unavoidable in helping the government fund itself to the markets as largely as possible.

In the eyes of the media are: many market analysts, Wands is already off to a character. In leaving interest rates unchanged the other week, he basically refused to explain his thinking or what might justify on business when US inflation was still well above target.

Wands is not without his on-potters. The economies' 80-kinnet £6.9m in has argued permanently that Wands be given there to this account at, in institution that was plainly failing

under his predecessor, Jerome Powell. By the time he left, Powell had not been able to take place out with the president, but he had led an institution that has consistently missed its inflation target in over years, has been proved almost optically, trying in other ways to do so fairly well. “transitory”, and had manifestly failed to even suppress our functions.

The Fed desperately needs a good kick up the prosocial, and Wands would not have to be seen as there's good reason to worry.

In applying for the yes, they do leftly seek their from monetary have to monetary force as an agreement might be best to run to rebound.

His two key interventions to date—cooperating, forward guidance and financing—are so called “bit job” under which members of the open market committee without individual interest rate projections—have

compounded lines that he's only there to do his answer to it today.

Whether this charge is justified or not, is not always really matter, perceptions of all in markets, and the fiscal disunuses a narrative of such dissonance to take centre stage in the way players think about US monetary policy.

Treasury yields, partly being a longer maturities, have surged as cordingly. Both the 60-year and 50-year yields are close to a 30-year high.

And small wonder, looking at the financing on one of US's surveys, it: $1.4 to $2.0m, the cumulative fiscal deficit is the 1day way to use of the highest on record, the deficit only by the extraordinary borrowing of the global financial rates and the pandemic.

With debt serving costs approaching nearly 30pc of all federal spending, the American predicament is in this respect at least as bad as Britain.

To achieve borrowing of these levels at the top of the economic cycle—when the priority should be rebuilding fiscal buffers as preparations for the next economic shock, let spending like a drunkenly unhindered tax on the levidious in the extreme.

Almost any economic would agree for the Trump, the greater is an altogether different one. That can account it is to run the economy as

he is a possible in the斡旋 of might at least perhaps the deblind. Republicans are likely to receive in the November congressional and terms.

To that end, he needs all the help he can get from debt markets. This in part

Donald Trump's regular return with Kevin Wands, the new US Finance Reserve decision, have might be from that Wands's fifth move that a presidential project

explains the complicated way the US economy intervened in foreign exchange markets that would be support exchange rates for the move over the next two or three months. In each new, having roughly halved in to the against the other, the US, it is a country famous for seemingly outflow inflation, the scale of the devaluation is beginning to have a decidedly inflationary effect.

Again is the largest foreign holder by some margin of 35 Treasuries, a state of affairs regular of largely by the interest rate differential between the two countries, investors have been able to borrow cheaply in Japan to lend at a higher interest rate to the US.

The current war is strong from the era would of course be for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates, but Japan has to be the voice of fiscal disunuses of 90th the added health capital of a copy consumer demand to control with, Japanese policy matters have been dropping their foot.

The other way would be to start dropping the counter 15th plus the rising US tax revenues, or the interest selling the dollar to buy you. Yet with a ripe scour deficit to finance, those about the last thing Scott Benson, the US Treasury, the other's wants to see happen. So rather I am selling dollars to buy you, he instead will reposition his currency of inflation to fund and itself them to buy you.

He also provoked Japan with a facility that would allow it to buy you without selling US Treasuries. It's all

hidefully complicated, and is very unlikely to provide Japan with an more than temporary value. When the markets itself block, control bank intervention is like quitting against the wind.

Several should know. He has a profitably placed that game against the Bank of England while working for Europe force at the time of the 1990s debate.

In the manner in which it supported the yen, the US was attempting to satisfy two entirely cut-rate lows of objectives, and they itself lag in knots in the private—minor or debt—finding a government spending at a relatively low interest rate. The two are at cross purposes.

To identify how how all this ends form way it's another and in the coffin of dollar beginning, but we've heard that story below.

For sure, everyone will want to understand it's, within a deep and liquid capital markets and its still commanding kind at the frontiers of technology.

Neither European China provides a value alternative for international capital. On the other hand, there is only so long the US can have a thing the rest of the world for a rule.

There is also only so far the application of the at dominance can take the US in easing the debt burden. Patience is wearing this, and this is slow pasture, confidence is seeping away. That's not something Trump will want to beat in his decade clans with his new man at the Fed.

National debt hitting £3m should be a wake-up call

LILAN HALLIGAN

Britain is approaching the point where an inflation spike could push it over the financial precipice

IT'S official—almost. The UK's national debt has rapped £3m, it has been claimed. That's three thousand billions. There followed by 12 more.

The UK's investment business had debt reached of £1,989.9m in June, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics—around £80m above of three billions.

But given that government borrowing averaged £20m a month last year, and now it has: What are early Austrians has been throwing around spending commitments like a safety, we've almost certainly now 85.ye billions in the hole—as the Tappypost Alliance (TAS) pointed out last week.

The UK's national debt first hit £1,000.9m in February 2020. That took 100 years, after the Bank of England was founded in 1976—with its

one trillion mark from the 1970s. The 2009 global financial crisis, in 1976 became a time—hardened with. After a decade later, Britain gained a significant debt inflation rate—less than 2020, three months into the multiturn of Covid in shares, with its extremely expensive fishing fund business support measures.

The UK's debt has been a very rapped £3m of debt—more than £100,000 per household—much down to coming welfare bills and an outstanding debt interest fall. £3m not in new borrowing for £1,000,000 per year, £1,000 per day, the TAS estimates. The US's debt interest costs and aftergrown out—are

now easily the highest of any major economy, with investors charging the government on the 1st 10p per annum to fourteen over 10 years—ranged over 8% of average of nearly 1p.

That is why we are now shifting out £200m on debt interest and so are more than 10% of all spurries—a education and twice the defence budget. The offer for budget for generality forecasts that annual bill will reach £175m for the up^{-}5m debt and £1.5m for the up^{-}10m debt. The 2020 debt rising above £80m now years later.

During the fiscal year 2020, the Labour spent more in welfare £2,000m than it collected in income tax £2,000m. A significant loss of higher welfare spending has been the sharp one in Universal credit recipients, which has now 6million by early 2020.

This value is a part the increase in long-term salience payments particularly for special health conditions in the country. The £ million recipients now offer timely abandoned or potential employees, classified under the “no work requirements” conditionally require. The trend during recent months after lockdown has accelerated sharply under Labour. When Labour took offer in June 2024, the Office has been taking additional state borrowing of £120m by 2020. But as this government has jailed up spending, and with its big share policies creating growth, which is still a major economy in its true activity, the same official fee year borrowing forecast is now £500m—a staggering 90p higher.

When the Tostes held office, the UK's national debt was an income to rise by almost a third of a trillion pounds during the half decade to 2020—already a ghastly fixed trajectory. But, after borrowing, no even a save power to be placed in the office of £1,000m pounds, thanks to Labour. So the TAS in a common water for most details with

Why? Because recently caused chaos that has led down, as for budgets of October 2020 and November 2021, hereby “banksshed” Labour's local consolidation strategy, such as it is.

As such, it is not to pretend she would ever the UK's almost meaningless local rules five years hence, however, planned a potentially painful fund思路 runs at the 1st scheduled end of this parliament. The action such as consolidation would ever happen, just before a general election, was always nonsense. Yet that consolidation is included in the 1980's annual deficit and related debt interest projections, had, still, those projections are horribly.

Of course, Labour's planned spending controls would not have happened under the first fourteen and fiveteen and now certainly won't under the same conditions, but also Labveng Chancellor John Hooke.

The Labour front book is—and much of the Westminster county political and media class—needs a long overdue reality check. The Government is borrowing around £360m a year, of which it is less than 90p—if which is being spent on debt interest.

All that matters is not a ghastly situation—when the national debt is rising by £15m an hour, it is not a good idea. Can the government borrow enough over the coming month to meet its payment obligations, without being utterly negligible for debt interest payments? We could be put out, prejudiced equal, and our related inflation spike. Even the answer to that question being “no”.

Use chatbots at your peril, AI 'slop janitor' warns MPs

Tech boss says public figures who 'pollute the world' with created content risk facing backlash. By James Titcomb

POLITICIAN, professors and authors risk being cancelled if they are caught using AI to write speeches and letters, according to the world's leading AI the day.

Max Spore, the chief executive of Pangram Labs, says trust erodes when public figures: 'pollute the world with AI text', leaving them exposed to a backlash.

Spore styles himself as the internet's 'slop janitor'. His company, Pangram, claims it is up to 95.7pc accurate at detecting whether something has been written by AI.

The technology has scuppered book deals and forced academic papers to be retracted.

In system concluded last week that the origination letter submitted by Jason Arday, a Cambridge academic, was entirely generated by AI.

It also led Louise Haigh, Andy Burnham's de-facto deputy prime minister, to concede that she had used AI to help write articles calling for higher taxes.

"We're probably going to see more backlash here," says Spore.

"There's loss of trust because (people think). Oh, you're just being a vessel for AI, you're not conveying anything you believe in."

He says public figures face a backlash 'very similar' to the recent outcry against social media

influencers using AI to write scripts. However, Spore, 30, has faced criticism for his app being used to 'cancel' people.

Literary agents withdrew a $2.4m (£1.8m) book deal with the Jerry Adolaya Fidale, a Nigerian author,

last month after concerns it had been written with AI.

Pangram also ended up in a dispute with The Guardian after the newspaper reported analysis suggesting corporate ways

increasingly using AI to write articles. However, Spore says his tool is essential for sharing a light on people filling the web with AI 'slop'.

"There is a lot of people who are using AI irresponsibly in ways that pollute our common spaces and pollute the internet," he says.

Speccable: 'Dollars sit a really important to have the ability to call someone out who's being a bad actor and polluting the internet, polluting your job site.'

"I'm not really afraid of offending somebody who I believe is making the world a worse place."

The rise of AI systems such as ChatGPT has led to a seemingly infinite wall of 'slop' - easily produced and generic AI-generated text that is ostensibly well worded, but devoid of substance.

The material has rapidly made it into the public domain, largely thanks to bouncy encouraging employees to use AI tools to compile emails and presentations.

One study from Pangram found that 30pc of longer posts on LinkedIn were AI generated, as well as nearly half of blogs published on X.

Teachers and professors are now inundated with AI-written essays, and there are growing suspicions about contributions in the House of Commons.

Slop does have certain telltale signs that the trained eye learns to spot.

For example, AI writing is prone to linguistic devices such as contrastive phrasing (it's not 1x, it's 2x, and it's a regular triplet) describing something as a 1, and 2.

Pangram's algorithm is a little more sophisticated. The company's technology splits text into small chunks that are connected into code, with an advanced pattern-matching system trained on millions of AI and human-written texts.

It claims the fourth generation of its checker, released last month, has a

Max Spore started Pangra after noting that other AI checkers didn't work that well. 'We thought we could maybe do better'

false positive rate of 0.004pc; meaning just one in 24,300 human-written texts would be marked as written by AI. The company also launched a checker for AI-generated images, which in many cases are harder to spot.

Pangram's purported accuracy has not stopped people protesting against it. One newspaper editor called the

company a 'defamation machine', saying it falsely labelled a number of opinion pieces as AI slop.

Others argue its algorithm is overly harsh, promising text that may only have had a light AI edit. 'There's all sorts of different ways people are mad at us,' Spore says.

Spore, who studied artificial intelligence at Silicon Valley's

Stanford University, had previously worked at Google and the self-driving car company Nure.

He started Pangram in New York with his university classmate Bradley East, who worked on AI at Tesla.

The company was set up in 2021 - the year after ChatGPT launched - alongside a series of other AI checkers that proved to be about

as reliable as a cam flip into popular checker rated the US Declaration of Independence as 50pc AI generated.

"We basically did some reviews and found these all don't work that well," says Spore. "So we thought we could maybe do better. I don't think the bar was that high."

Pangram lets free users check a small amount of text for AI, but makes money by selling its services to customers such as universities and publishers, who need to verify in bulk.

It recently agreed to a tie-up with the newsletter service Substack that will let users check whether the articles they read are, in fact, written by humans.

The service also announced last month that it had raised $3m in venture funding.

This is a fraction of the budget of the giant AI idea that Pangram aims to keep honest, although Spore does not anticipate an arms race against the likes of Special and Antle-ups, which he says have most pressing users than overcoming AI detectors.

Instead, he says the company is supposed to be a check on the malevolent threat of computer-generated text overwhelming human prose.

Because AI makes some things so

'I'm not really afraid of offending somebody who I believe is making the world a worse place'

easy, a lot of our previous societal structures end up breaking down," he says.

Those on the receiving end are drowning in AI slop.

The academic website at Xiv said last year that it had seen an 'unmanageable influx' of new papers, while the Institute of Student Employers says companies now receive 340 applications per graduate vacancy. This is only likely to go in one direction.

"Ultimately, we're going to need essentially a modern spam filter for this AI future, where anybody can spam anything," says Spore.

Tech boss might found Spore as a special type of landlife.

AI, they say, is just the next tool, such as the typewriter, word processor or spell the fact.

However, he says there is a key difference: "No one's offloading their cognition to the typewriter, in the same way they are with AI."

Even so, the tale is possibly turning.

LinkedIn, notorious for waffly thought leadership, recently let users report posts they suspect to be AI-generated, although a quick scan suggests there are still plenty of them around.

If there is little chance of eliminating slop, that will, at least, be good for Spore's business.

The £24bn Labour tax raid terrifying the City

Britain's banking and financial sector is a likely target for the Chancellor to raise serious money. By Sza Ping Chan

THE war on banks is back. Britain's biggest banker does consider £20bn in profits so far this year, something that would normally be cause for celebration. Instead, executives say they are "forced for impact".

Bank are one of the few remaining targets for John Bealey, the Chancellor, to raise serious money without triggering public anger. "From a Labour political perspective, a bank has a such an obvious thing that they could quite easily go for," admits one senior banking official.

Five Labour MPs will rush to the defence of lenders, and with Rachel Reeves cut, many in the industry believe that one of their strongest allies has disappeared.

Britain's banks have long faced higher taxes than other businesses. Since the financial crisis, the industry has been a whipping boy for the perceived loss of those who worked in the City before 2020.

Lenders were hit with the bank levy, a tax imposed by George Osborne, the Tory chancellor, to make them repay the Government for the balance of the credit crunch.

The levy was not imposed on profits. Instead, it was charged as a percentage of banks' balance sheets.

The bank levy raises about £5.5bn a year for the Treasury, down from a peak of more than £30m more than a decade ago after minimum approved trestope. Initially charged an inside global balance sheets, it raised concerns that UK lenders were becoming uncompetitive. From 2020, it was limited to 7.8s more.

Banks also pay more corporation tax than most other companies. When corporation tax was not from 20p to 30p, banks like Coalition, banks were hit with an 8-percentage-point out charge. When corporation tax later rose to 25p, the out charge was reduced, so banks will get 20p a overall. This has raised an annual of £2.0bn a year and will generate about £5.5bn annually in the years ahead.

However, many in Labour are eager to separate banks to further, largely in part, where the tax largely prime minister, argued that restoring the out charge to the perceived level would raise another £1.5bn a year.

The Trades Union Congress (TUC), meanwhile, has argued for a 10-percentage-point out charge. Aiming to could raise £500m over four years, it has been suggested that lifting the 10p's would be an upward on energy companies, arguing this could generate as much as £60bn.

That would just finally, effective in 2020, be a 10-percentage point of 10p, the highest in the industrialised world. Such figures are viewed with

scopes into made the industry. Reeves has led the Treasury proposals to add bank profits ahead of the 2020 Budget, but industry chiefs say the speculation is not a case of a significant change. The increase is viewed differently. Bealey worked for the TUC for years. Reeves now has it in the Cabinet as blooming Secretary, called for a bank tax and its current international tax on the damage.

However, the UK is already one of

From a Labour political perspective, a bank tax is one h an obvious thing

the most expensive places in Le world to run a profitable bank. According to PwC, London has the highest, as burden for banks of any major financial centre is examined, at 45.5p, once corporation tax, the bank out charge, bank levy, and other charges are taken into account.

This was a point made by Dune June Fraser, the chief executive of Wall Street giant UK, who warned, as to work that London was already one of the world's most expensive financial centres. "I know have a lot of choices where things get to deal," she said. "If the taxes go up over higher, then that makes it an easier decision to do both it in London."

Britain is an outlier when it comes to bank taxes. PwC's analysis shows that among comparable countries, only Britain, Canada and Spain levy both taxes on bank profits and separate balance-sheet levies.

Meanwhile, Germany is looking to reduce corporation tax over the next five years, barring Britain looking uncompetitive.

Even leading Labour figures are frustrated that the sector is viewed as a cash cow. "Not many other co-autres

tend their most successful sectors like we do," says one senior Labour figure. "People and profits gain more in their financial services, yet it generally is more tax revenue and more high-paid, high-probability jobs than almost any other industry."

That contribution stretches far beyond Canary Wharf. The sector employs almost 2.6 million people - roughly one in every 15 workers. About two-thirds of those jobs are in accord outside London, with staff at Wall Street bankers including Citi. Bank of America, P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs agreed across the UK.

According to HMBC, the sector also pays about £350m in tax every year, while bank shares form a large chunk of people's savings.

And there are that much of the industry's strong performance that comes out from reducing interest margins, but from higher lending volumes. That suggests additional taxes could reduce banks' capacity to lend and support economic growth.

There are already signs that investors are becoming more cautious. Gary Stevenson, a British capital, warned that Lloyds Banking Groups

plan to deliver even higher returns "could prove a red up to a bull for these after-selling additional taxes. He recommends that investors sell the shares."

The City has increasingly accepted that some sort of one could be inevitable. "Rachel did a lot of damage by hiking taxes, but when it came to financial services she did get it," impetus one City boss.

The greater concern is where the increase will stop.

One area where ministers may try to soften the blow to regulation. Both the Treasury and the Bank of England have been examining whether capital rates and regulatory thresholds can be modernised, particularly for smaller lenders as important competitiveness.

The Bank will outlaw plan this autumn to operate some financial thresholds to better reflect the size of today's banking sector. The Provincial Regulation Authority is also expected to confirm measures making it easier for smaller challenges banks to grow.

However, some in the City believe regulatory are still too cautious when it comes to loosening capital requirements, given that Andrew

Not many other countries that their most successful sectors like we do!

Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, previously handled of a Reeves's suggestion that regulators were a "low-cost for each of business". Whether regulatory trouble would offer higher rates to another question entirely.

"I was in Switzerland a few weeks ago," one senior banker says. "People from both industry and the regulators told me they're already seeing significant movements of assets from the UK."

Likely think there would be some enormous explosion. People don't make a loss, they simply decide where they've got to take the most return on investment banking revenue. The integration is obvious. Banks are profitable, municipal and politically aware to tax than households.

History offers other warnings. Florence and Venice were once the world's dominant financial centres. Both analysts that its position could never be lost.

The questions is whether another cash mass billions for the Treasury, or encourage one of Britain's most internationally mobile industries to move elsewhere.

Boomers see their property dream collapse as the market bites back

As prime house prices tumble, older homeowners are facing huge losses, writes Melissa Lueford

A £10.6bn Bt. He there are only a few thousand people with over whose expected inheritance (on IBIT bill would exceed 4bn). To treat such a potential, you need to invest that in some of them at least 4bn.

Yet for this small cohort of Britain's private houseowners, more again that their homes are becoming a one-h own important source of these wealth.

Among those paying at least 4bn in inheritance the people's homes made up just 20% of the total of their homes in 2023: 24 - down from 25p; in 2015-16, according to health. This was in itself, contrast to smaller estates, when home property increase as a proportion of the poorest house owners is to average, for those paying IBIT their home-made up 30p or 40m per worth.

Although these highs offers are a small basis, it's the day to follow has to pay for the most of homeowners across the country.

Decades of existing house price

growth may have made generations of older fictions dazzlingly wealthy. Just now the market is coming back to bite them as prime prices tumble.

Members of the 4bn IBIT club have seen the proportion of their wealth. Even property slide the market across they won the most expensive homes.

For 80-maltese showed that a type of 4bn IBIT paper owned property worth 43.3bn - seems roughly seven times the average UK house price.

These properties are concentrated overwhelming in London and the consumer belt, which is counted for half of all IBIT paid by the Treasury in 2023: 24.

Kensington, the City of London and Westminster, the Inwood Park and Hampstead & Elthora are all in the top 10 countries; see for IBIT receipts, paying a credit of the just one IBIT bill - more than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And in a three-homes that are exceeding the most dramatic house price falls in the country.

Before 2016, during the peak of the market, 10.5 people bought prime property in London as an investment.

Two have it worth in the money. In two or three years time, the value would have gone up by 50p.

A slide in stone real estate prices is hitting the wealth of people living in areas such as London's Hampstead Heath

General: one of people made hundreds of thousands of pounds paid by sitting and doing nothing," says Will Watson, head of The Buying Solution, a prime buying agency. "These days are very much over."

Property prices in London's most expensive goods also have dropped by 20p: since 2016, according to health, which for years they will have another 2p: this year. Many older homeowners are not facing huge losses.

In the last 2 or 3 months, in pretty much every example of house that we have been buying for our clients, we are paying less than the owners did 85 years ago. That is not becoming into the fact that they would have refurbished the property," says Watson.

He writes a client who puts there is, flat in South Kensington a other this year for £4.3bn. This was £2.3m from

thus the seller paid for it a decade earlier, and then had spent about £500,000 on renovations. Another client bought a house in Chelsea for £4bn, £500,000 less than the seller paid in 2012.

20pc

When these property contributed among these paying £3m in 1997 to 2023's 24 - down from 25p a decade earlier

"If you take a step back, you can see the losses some people are making and you can see that, now, that has been a lot like investment," says Watson.

Nearly a third (12p) of all homes in England and Wales that were originally

bought for at least 4bn are now worth two than their owners paid for them, according to analysis by Councillor Group. He UK's largest estate agent.

"It's not just a go! By of thanking these property is worth more than it is," says Watson. "Some people refuse to accept that the house is not worth what they think it is and so it just sits there on the market."

Others are very: that the market would fall even last 1yr and want to sell so that they can pay the money to better use elsewhere, says Watson.

Louisa Cook, the vice of residential research at Inville, says: "For the very wealthy who are responsible for a sizeable family of IBIT receipts, other users have become more important than residential property."

The increased exposure to taxes, most notably stamp duty, as well as the

political uncertainty soon over the past decade have put downward pressure on central London prices."

This will has also the other parts of the prime housing market, he adds. Though many areas are house prices surge after both lows, this proved short-lived at the higher end of the market.

Britain's binary property market has been disproportionately hampered by a succession of punitive tax changes.

George Osborne, the former chancellor, introduced new stamp duty banks for more expensive properties in 2016 - including a 10pc charge on the value between £375,000 to £1.5bn and then a 10pc rate above £5.5bn.

Then in 2016, came a 2 percentage point tax charge for some or just having a property in addition to their main residence. In 2024, Rachel Reeves raised that to 5 percentage points. That was after the 10-year old introduced a 2 percentage point sum charge for overseas buyers in 2024.

This means that the marginal top rate of stamp duty payable on a binary issue is now 10pc.

An extreme buyer purchasing a 4.5bn account home in London will have to pay £663,750 in tax. From for a UK buyer purchasing these main home at this price, the bill is more than half a million pounds.

Brightened feeling of uncertainty and change in the state does tax require for wealthy nonnationals have also been used global buyers.

And there is a wider story of UK property market erosion. All celebrity has hit a wall and high interest rates have been hammering buyer demand since 2020.

After adjustments for inflation, house prices are roughly the same as they were in the end of 2016.

But it is the top end of the London market where the issue of stamp court prices have completely died.

If, after you have done improvement worth and paid stamp duty you can break even, you have done well, says Watson.

The Titanic's shipyard to once more build warships

From huge support vessels to hi-tech drones, Harland & Wolff is tapping in to a booming market, writes Matt Oliver

With decades, the famous shipbuilding cranes on Belfast's skyline have been little more than community, barely one-twentieth of a league for day.

But now a major resurgence is under way - and famous and foolish are being woken from their shardier.

For the first time in more than 20 years, the two years of gantry cranes are being pressed back into regular service at Harland & Wolff - the historic firm - to hold the 50 short Titanic - gets back into the warship business.

'We haven't used foolish for years,' says Peter Rusk, programme manager, as he explains how the yard is being modernised, from dry-fed to regular to massive pieces of new equipment.

To push this investment, needs this overhaul: 'Bank adds 'and famous and foolish, they've come to Belfast.'

Suitable - the crane that stands - farthest from the water - will be the first to come back online for providers with famous then getting the same treatment.

A wide-running fountain - but by no means the most expensive - part of a mere 250lbs overhaul by the company's new owner, that's owned Spanish shipbuilder Naranta, as it prepares is, deliver three massive fleet sold to approximately 1950 vessels, which will deliver munitions, food and cargo, for the Royal Navy.

Building these ships will keep hundreds of workers in Belfast busy for at least the next decade. It will also require the new先进 court to move that triple, from about 100 today to some 1,500 people.

To support the work, a further 250lbs is being ploughed into improvements at the company's three other UK links in one yard. Appledore

in North Devon and Artois and Methil in Scotland.

With further contract wins expected, bosses believe there will be enough work to take them through the 2020s.

It's a dramatic move up in fortunes for a business that has been wobbling since the turn of the millennium - and narrows several across British shipbuilding areas broadly, as Womens rearmament forces a surge in orders.

'The market is booming,' says Senator Martinez, chief executive of Naranta UK. 'We can see that all across Europe. We're almost flat out in the Spanish north and France in the same. But's the same, the Netherlands is the same.'

'We're aiming to have full utilization of Belfast by the end of this year.'

Harland & Wolff has an illustrious part, having built more than 1,000 vessels including 125 ships for the Navy. But the 165 year-old business has faced multiple crores more recently, leading to taxpayer subsidies a period of state ownership in the 1990s and 90s and collapse at 2010 - when it was fueled out by energy services for brittany.

That attempted turnaround ended in some two years ago. However, when the UK Government's specialised company's request for a £250m export finance loan - with the loss of this lifeline forcing bosses to call in the administration.

Naranta's new had already subcontracted work on the £4.6bn FSI programme in Harland, staged to re-engage the entire business in January 2020.

Since then, it has scrambled to inject cash into the business and get scheduled back on track.

Dining a run by the Telegraph in June 2024, the skeleton structure of a new fabric-ground had had just been completed - now the space is being filled with existing edge

equipment, including a 200-metre-long flagship wood plate line costing £25m. According to

Project manager Peter Rusk, here is excited by the site's overhaul

Naranta, this will make Belfast 'one of the most obvious of yard in Europe.'

Under its new Spanish owners, the business will also narrow its focus to defunct work instead of also defitting the existing energy and oil and gas. Today the Belfast yard is occupied by export work for Naranta's global operations and early work on the bulk of the first FSI, the uplift-named UK's bestsight.

Each FSI will be 200m long equivalent to two football pitches - and have a display enamel of 50,000 tonnes, making them the second-largest warship in a service, second only to the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers.

Under its new Spanish owners, the business will also narrow its focus to defunct work instead of also defitting the existing energy and oil and gas. Today the Belfast yard is occupied by export work for Naranta's global operations and early work on the

bulk of the first FSI, the uplift-named UK's bestsight.

Beyond FSI, bosses then hope another opportunity will come from the Royal Navy's plan to justify acquire four amphibious transport ships - with the

Netherlands. Built to a Dutch design, they are expected to be assembled by an as-yet-nammed UK yard - and with RAB Systems in Glasgow and Rolo on his length busy making Type 26 and Type 9; frigates respectively, Belfast a part in to be a leading company.

On top of this, the company wants to compete for Project Boston, a contract to build three floating submarine dry-fed窑 for FIMNI Club, and to also uple-bugs, one cuts for unmanned surface vessels that could eventually build out the UK's planned 'flyfield navy.'

All that could provide a runway for Belfast to defunct one large ship a year to the Royal Navy through the 2000s.

'We've ready,' says Carlos Lopez Carregada, general manager at Belfast. 'It's a great thing for British shipbuilding.' The company will be up against stiff competition to build drones.

'The market we foresee, is going to be huge because they need mass'

Alternative concepts have been put forward by rivals RAB and Rolo on it, both of which are well-plagged in to the Ministry of Defence.

However, Naranta believes the modernization of its yards will give it a distinct advantage. And should these contracts be forthcoming, it is dangling the possibility of an investment work another 250m or so to suit the Appledore yard in Devon into a modern 'stone factory'.

'We are the hybrid navy concept from the UK being the primer that will mobilise all the European navies around the same concept,' adds Martinez.

'The market, we foresee, is going to be huge because they need mass. And the requirement is they need to be really affordable.'

'Frigates might cost £20m to £20m each, but these will need to cost in the hundreds of millions, so you need to think more of a factory rather than a traditional shipyard.'

The secret Israeli pipeline that could solve the energy crisis

Middle Eastern powers are negotiating a way to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, reports Jonathan Leake

SALES ABARMA and the rest of the Gulf country produces have a major problem.

The main shipping routes to export (byrd bury) is of at and quite of gas - the full-oil Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz - have become too dangerous to use effectively.

Iron has defended Hormuz in the wake of 50 Saudi strikes, while reports through that of Mandeb in the last Sea face - contract attack from Bostilla which.

It has left Saudi Arabia, as well as some of the regions other beyond countries, searching for a solution. Now, many think that could come from the unification of places: Israel.

Israel and the regions of powers - who have been enemies for decades - are rapidly drawing up plans to use an overland pipeline to break the integrity that Iran has imposed on global oil exports. The scheme would hold a pipeline across the Saudi desert to the Saudi border, where a second pipeline built the port of the East (when would carry it north) to ports on the Mediterranean. If it works, it will create a new pipeline, bypassing the East Sea and Strait of Hormuz.

At the same time, there are hopes that binding Israel and the Gulf together through energy dependence could have become a new option, could a pipeline help bring peace to the Middle East? Brief details of the scheme have been

released by EU Cohen, Israel's energy minister. 'The Gulf countries do not want to be dependent on either Iran or the Muslim (the former) when it comes to their oil exports, which are then primary source of income,' he has said.

'If you create a land-zone, you bypass both Iran and the Muslims. The best route in through the State of Israel.'

Israel would, of course, say that. It has long wanted to become part of the lucrative network of pipes that transpaves all on the Middle East.

With little oil of income, a pipeline from Saudi Arabia would also boost its own energy security. Ireland closed doors, Israel and several Gulf states have been engaged in the reasons over the idea. Under the plan, a 100-mile pipeline would be constructed, making from the start of both of Saudi Arabia as soon as desert to the Israeli Red Sea resort city of Eilat.

There, it would be into an existing pipe - the 100-mile-long Trane Israel Pipeline, built in the 1990s - and then in the Mediterranean part of Ashkenia, where it could be loaded onto tankers bound for Europe. Israel is full of enthusiasm. Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, said the pipeline could break Iran's physical global energy.

'Instead of going through the whole points of the Human Strait and the full-oil Mandeb Strait, we have a new oil pipelines, an pipeline going west through the Arabian Peninsula,' he said.

'Right up to Israel, right up to our Mediterranean ports and two to just done away with the whole points for forever. That is definitely possible.'

Such a scheme would take a lot of engineering - but the real challenge would form diplomacy. Not least between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince M Rajanand bin Salman, the Saudi border, has frequently accused Israel of ammunition over its killing of 70,000 FV hostman in Gana since 2025.

The two countries have no formal diplomatic relations, with Riyadh officially maintaining that normal ties are impossible without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. That can also be used in the future.

Here, I am, can there be discussions of a shared pipeline? Israel and Saudi Arabia as yet have formal diplomatic relations - now but a possibility of such a under way to change this, driven primarily by the US and Israel.

Both countries are among rivals as a key route for Israel to normalize relations with the Middle East -

neighbors and former enemies. That process is well under way.

Israel is the core of three major offshore natural gas fields, the already made it a key regional exporter.

Habacala Energy, the United Arab Emirates's sovereign wealth unit, invested 1Bn of 700m jute Israel's Tamar gas field - leading Gulf state capital directly to Israeli energy infrastructure. Egypt and Jordan are now volume on Israeli gas, making future liabilities from them also unlikely. Stopping Saudi Arabia into the fold will be much tougher. But pressure is mounting.

The most recent month withes of this was last month's nuclear deal, a landmark 30-year part between the US and Saudi Arabia to develop a civilian nuclear programme in the Kingdom.

'Only a we're not exposed to Donald Trump announce that he was making the deal conditional on Saudi Arabia, not making relations with Israel.

This creates immense pressure for Riyadh to formulate herein the near future - potentially opening the way for other projects such as oil pipelines.

That can also benefit a long way off but Israel's ministry of energy and infrastructure is hopeful.

Isaid: 'We attach great importance to expand a natural state. Foundening Israel into an energy bridge between East and West is a fundamental part of our vision for the energy sector.'

Riyadh's state-of-company, Saudi Arabia, which operates the ministry's on both and pipelines, was less efficient. 'America declines to comment' and a spokesman.

Putting 'die with zero' to the test

The controversial strategy encourages savers to enjoy every last penny of their cash while they can. Marianna Hunt reports

You've spent decades doing exactly what every financial aspect told you to do. You saved diligently. You invested sensibly. You created the temptation to spend money you didn't have, with no one at your notice, and everyone starts telling you the opposite. Hop-racing, start spending.

After a lifetime proudly growing your savings and investments, you are suddenly expected to feel comfortable watching your pension pot shrink every year. You tell yourself you will spend more next year. You'll book the nicer holiday, upgrade the hotel, take the turn instead of waiting for the bus in the rain and finally pay someone to do the jobs you no longer enjoy doing yourself. But somehow you never manage it, telling investments look wrong. Living off the income alone feels safe.

This is such a common problem that an entire book has been written about the dangers of falling onto this under-spending trap. For With Zero by Bill Perkins. His argument isn't simply that we should spend more. It is that many libidry-grown become so good at building wealth that they never give

themselves permission to enjoy it. I'm only 75, so retirement is still a long way off. But I can already see the mindset taking hold. I've always found saving much more than spending.

I think, I look like the worst satisfaction from not spending money. But roaking Perkins's book made me wonder whether the same habits that help us build wealth could eventually stop us from enjoying it.

According to Perkins, there are several reasons why he recommends aiming to "die with zero".

• Using with loads of money left is not a sign of good financial planning. As Perkins would say, don't be the richest in the in the graveyard.

• You enjoy money and experiences much more at certain times of your life. Spend it when you are healthy enough to enjoy it.

• Experience often deliver much more value than possessions and can provide memories to the kids when you are no longer active enough to make new ones. Invest in them.

• Give money to loved ones and charities while you are alive. Select

exactly how much you want them to get, rather than randomly leaving "whatever's left".

I don't necessarily agree with all of these. And there are certainly rules in following this philosophy. But the concept does intrigue me. so I decided to explore how I might "die with zero" in practice.

Although the book was written by an American author, the UK may be quite a good place to live out these principles, as the have certain safety nets that could reduce some of the risks of running your savings down to almost nothing.

The NBS means most of us won't face catastrophic healthcare bills in the way Americans can. The state pension provides a baseline income even if you outlive your savings, and means tested social care support provides a fallback option if your health deteriorates. Although the quality of care might not be what you want, your spending does not call for outbursts of the signs of deliberate deprivation of users.

Now dying with zero could work

Let's say I'm able to retire at age 60 with

£500,000. Skin isn't necessarily my actual forecast, but it's a nice round number. For simplicity, this—and all the following figures—are in today's money-based on someone who is currently 60 and will get a full state pension from age 67. Though, under current legislation, I'll get mine later!

The essentials

The biggest risk of the "die with zero" strategy is that you live longer than expected and run out of money too soon.

To manage this risk, I would look to buy a lifetime annuity that, combined with the state pension, would give me enough guaranteed baseline income to cover my essential spending, no matter how long I live.

With a lifetime annuity, you see some or all of your pension pot to buy a guaranteed income for life. Think of it like an insurance policy against outliving your savings. Say I want a guaranteed baseline income of £20,000 after tax, invested £22,000 before tax. Once the state pension is factored in, I'd need to buy a lifetime annuity paying an annual income of approximately £9,500.

As of July 2026, that could cost around £208,500—although annuity rates change constantly and would probably look different by the time I retire. This is for a policy that does not include any death benefits. But whose income is guaranteed to increase each year in line with inflation. The state pension is also protected by the triple lock, so my income should maintain its purchasing power over time.

The luxuries

That would leave me with £28,500 in my pension to fund non-essentialist things such as holidays, fancies needs out and hobbies. According to government figures on healthy life expectancy, I may have only around seven healthy years in retirement after I turn 60. I therefore want to front-load my spending into the years when I'm statistically most likely to be healthy and active, before gradually relying more heavily on my guaranteed income later in life.

The shortfall

Housing is the elephant in the room. In Perkins's view, dying with a £500,000

UNEVEN SPLIT

Using a financial modeling tool, I estimate that I could affect this following additional spending each year, on top of my £20,000 baseline income, without running out of money before 60: Age 60-67: £26,000 Age 70-79: £5,000 Age 70-80: £3,000 Age 80-90: £1,000

By 60, I would have no money left, so it's survived beyond that. I'd have to live off my state pension and annuity income. I have assumed I've invested my pension in a medium-risk portfolio or running 12p a year. My ongoing pension charges are 12p+ inflation in 2pc per year. The state pension goes up by at least 2.5pc per year.

house is still leaving money on the table, which should be spent. Whether I'd feel comfortable releasing housing equity rather than leaving the property to my family is another question entirely.

There are often major risks. I haven't yet made any money for care costs or potential home adaptations I might need as I age.

Government-funded care is a backstop, but I'd need to have depleted my own wealth and probably sold my home to pay my care bills before I qualified.

The numbers also don't factor in any major stock market volatility. If there were a significant downturn during my retirement, my money could run out much faster. I'd also have much less spending power if inflation were higher than 2pc, which is very possible. The consumer price window has not measured this low since September 2024, and it briefly rose to 0.1pc in October 2024.

The biggest study would be reaching 90 bodies healthier than expected. I'd have successfully followed the philosophy, but I'd also have to accept a much lower standard of living for what could still be many years.

And, although mathematically I can see the numbers make sense, I'm not sure how comfortable I'll feeling practice spending £40,000 in my early 60s knowing that will need to decrease dramatically as the year goes.

So, would I really do this? Not exactly. I'd almost certainly spend more in my 60s, enjoying this as I age. That's when I'm most likely to enjoy travel, adventure and time with family.

But I don't think I'd aim to die with literally nothing. I'd want a meaningful safety margin against poor investment returns, unexpectedly high care costs and simply living much longer than average. And, if I have a reasonable sum saved, I'd also plan to work with a financial adviser. They should be able to help me develop a personalized plan for enjoying my money, while maintaining a good margin of safety and giving me the confidence to spend it.

Bill Perkins did persuade me of something important, though. After a lifetime spent measuring success by how much money I've saved and invested, perhaps retirement success should instead be an asset with how well I use it.

Maybe the goal isn't to die with exactly zero. It's to avoid dying with reports. That's a very different calculation.

Fame & Fortune: Sir Tim Smit

'I got a lucky break in a dentist's waiting room'

The Eden Project co-founder on making music, the property ladder and his worst-ever purchase. By John Wright

Sir Tim Smit KBE, 71, is a Dutch-born British businessman and former ex-husologist.

He is best-known as the co-founder of the Eden Project in Cornwall and the co-creator of The Lost Gardens of Belgium, which he rediscovered and restored in 1987 with John Nelson.

The Eden Project has been seen by some 10 million people since 2003, contributing more than £5.9bn to the Cunnikers money.

Sir Tim also worked for 10 years in rock music and opera as a composer and producer, working with acts like Harry Manilow, Today, he lives in Cornwall with his wife, Charlotte, and his family.

HOW DID YOUR CHILLED OOD DIPLOMATE YOUR ATTITUDE TO MONEY?

I was born in The Hague. My father was Dutch of blue-collar stock, my mom was English with blue blood whicillised in a grand house on Cheshire.

My dad worked for KLM Airlines and whose project is ballistic. Turkey, Ireland and English or Dutch schools in which to do out me so the airline paid for moving to spray and public school in the UK.

My parents were careful with money, my grand dad wanting to make his own way in the world without handouts from the English family.

WHAT WERE YOUR FIRST JOBS? I got one chilling and misperce a week pocket money and for more. I had to earn. I had one comes a week. I'm chewed, so to buy comics and animal I did a paper round in the holidays, most of which were spent in Cheshire with my spouse.

My first Durham University holiday job was at a cigarette factory in Rippold, near The Hague. I filmed on my moped and cake, after a week, which I saved for a 1975 British trip to Warwick, Kenya.

I was a hospital cleaner in Southwark, near Brighton, where I stayed with a friendly family whose mom cooled in house and eggs every day. That paid £50 a week, but my savings took a debt because I bought lots of albums.

By my second year at Durham, my friends and I had formed a hand and were prospecting ourselves around the world.

The excitement led me into the music business. Having spent a happy night months as deputy county archaeologist at the Reeves Museum in Barnard Castle in 1995. It was the hottest summer on

record, crop marks revealing rains across the county - but after period lunch, plus rest, I was shirt. Something had to give and the London music scene he chased.

ARE YOU A SPENDER OR A SAVER? An instinctive saver, but an impulsive speaker, which can make all the good work.

DO YOU USE CASH OR CARDS? Manly debut cards because I hate being registered by really cards for my poor organisation. I always keep a down-shoot me in case I need rescuing or to give small donations or tips. I feel naked without some cash.

HAVE YOU INVESTED IN PROPERTY OR THE STOCK MARKET?

I've invested in shows three times and so much case they nose-dioed to oblivion.

The first house I bought was for £75 in Corbes, Co-Durham, in 1976. It had a completely honest front wall on the street and my third wife, Cindy, and decided to flog it before we regretted the purchase. We sold it for £5,200 that amount.

In London, we bought a house in 1980 in Brixton for £54,000 which en-levs the happily until 1987, when we sold it for £199,000 to buy a farmhouse in Cornwall for £94,000. This house is absorbed all the money we had made in the music business and then some. We were now living in a dream location, but very short of cash.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD TROUBLE PASTING YOUR BELL?

In the 1990s, we were in Cornwall and I was coming very little and desirous to face the hands wedge of having to showcase where a remarkable thing happened.

In a dentist's waiting room was a current edition of The Stige magazine and a picture of footballer Jack Charlton with an advertisement for a new TV documentary he was about to make, the Fishing with Jack Charlton.

I was also not with excitement at years before, rather drunkenly. I'd recorded a she weightful fishing game accompanied by happy and skillful drums. I posted the tape and for the rest of the week, I had a first to use it as the theme song for the series.

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST AND WORST FINANCIAL DECISIONS? I've made several bad decisions. Buying

a recording studio in the expectation that it will make you creative was pretty dumb. It created a world of administration and an eye on the world that showed me how unscrupulous other musicians and producers can be.

WHAT'S THE HARDEST LESSON YOU'VE LEASTLY ABOUT MONEY? That having much more than enough makes it uncomfortable to be with your friends.

If you do, never flaunt it and make

new you're generous or you'll visit a curse upon yourself.

HAVE YOU SPLASHED OUT? I bought a doftwood house for £67,000. It was created by a brilliant artist, the 1st-2nd of the family, who hardly wait for months for one of the legs to be found on a tale.

We put it on the main entrance into the Eden Project and people would get on in back for photos. It was so popular that we created a mould and had it cast in house.

WHAT THERE DOMESTIC THAT YOUR HAVE DAMAGED OR JOINTED YOUR CARDS?

Our hand fobs was coming off tour after three weeks in Germany and the Netherlands in 1979. We were hungry and exhausted when the manager told us that a good deal was made. He had done a moment with all our money. My songwriting partner Charlton Dharbick and I agreed on the story back to the UK that we'd never tour with a good again and would instead become songwriters. It would change our lives as we'd strike it lucky as writers.

WHAT IS THE MOST MONEY YOU'VE MADE FROM ANY PARTICULAR WORK?

The most I've ever ever sat out time was a £250,000 advance for writing a book in 1987 about The Lost Gardens of Belgium. We received pretty meaty music creations in the early 1980s, but less than this in one go - not complaining though.

WHAT ARE THE BEST AND WORST THINGS YOU'VE DOESN'T? Best books and records and a painting that Charlton and I thought of a marketing success by Aldade (down), a Ghanaian artist.

Never, a 1989? Aldada soft-top sports car. I loved the other showroom, took it home and a week later, I caught my wife into a car they window. A bathing, slightly overweight bloke with a colourful shirt in a red top.

I felt embarrassed at myself, doesn't back to the showroom and sold it - at a loss, but a price worth paying for removing all evidence of my misplaced vanity.

How chickens helped shape Thatcherism and save the UK

Comment

Michael Moobacher

Are organic chickens or their factory-farmed contain the ethical choice? The answer may seem obvious. One would hope that the life of an organic animal book spectacularly superior considering the price difference.

The cheapest supermarket which chickens will cut 100 over £5, an organic bird will set you back not much less than £20 and can be far more if a particularly elevated breed is to your taste.

Personally, I do my best to avoid cheap chickens, not just an welfare but also an aesthetic and opacousan grounds. But I have an affinity for the insect but thanks to its contribution to wielding this nation from the postwar socialist experiment and putting it on the path to Thatcherism. Let me explain where we are, then how we get here.

The worst feature of goodbye farming came to an end in 2002 with the ban on Confectionist business before 2003 as in Britain, indeed throughout the EU.

But so called 'mindshell' caprichess, the commonest means were the expansion of cheap meat and eggs. By all accounts, those birds live a life that no one would envy. But perhaps the conundrum is a little more complex. Climate change and sustainability has co-operate this season, and a study published last month by Royal Society Open Source argues that organic eggs are much worse for climate

change than eggs from caged chickens. If all British eggs were organically produced, greenhouse gas emissions would be double that compared to them all being held in fully caged conditions - £30,000 in excess of £10, to £100,000 in excess. This is largely because organic chickens grow more slowly and produce fewer eggs, therefore requiring more food and other inputs.

I most probably, the large high street imports are only too happy to use the sustainability arguments to conveniently justify their reliance on cheap chicken while reducing off their environmental credentials.

Who hever side you plung for in the chicken wars - and I imagine most of us aren't wholly consistent in what we can and occasionally stray from a devout new expensive birds - it is worth considering how factory birds have contributed to sustainability in one important respect. They helped sustain, indeed resurrect the British economy.

Britain was first introduced to the factory farming of chickens, at least for most, in the 1850s by Antony Fisher, a family of Britain girls turned stock holder, famed farmer for work. British Chickens in East Sussex, importing stronger 'farming methods'.

By the mid-1950s limited was producing 5,000,000 birds per week. Chickens, which had been one of the more expensive meats and a rare treat for many, is placed in price and become a staple.

Fisher was a three-year-old girl in a practical champion of entrepreneurialism. He was very much opposed to the collectivism that he saw on the rise in

postwar Britain. What convinced him intellectually of the iniquities of the nascent welfare state and the political consensus emerging behind it was Friedrich Banzick's De Knack to Stritton, published in 1944. Banzick had moved from the native Austria to Britain in the 1930s and found a hospitable berth of the London School of Economics.

He argued that the growth of the state and no ever greater role in planning the economy would inevitably go alongside a loss of freedom. A state that guaranteed cradle to - given welfare would soon be involved in every aspect of our lives.

Fisher wondered how to turn back the rich against what seems to be more capable socialist life launched by Clement Miller's postwar Labour government. The Tories, to the feel in 1981, seemed intent on managing the new status quo. They showed little interest in organising British laissez-faire agony. The breakthrough of the smudges overseas would not be achieved on a political role.

Instead, in 1982 Fisher helped found and fined the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA). The original deals took was an intervention advising on the aspects of government policy. But was rather intent on waging a gruable war of ideas. In sum was the length for the studies' future also and in question the status of black and similarly moulded economists.

As the socialist experiment was turning Britain poor, a generation of younger politicians in the 1960s and 1970s were searching in alternative and slighted on the IEA. The most notable among those was Margaret Thatcher, Monocorona changes and the ideas behind them in our spring and then consumer changes in a large state complex than that. But the IEA certainly was crucial to the development of Thatcherism.

Something that he has done - Harry Cameron-era Cabinet minister and secretary of the strong side of the Royal wars - Oliver Lehwin argued a quarter of a century ago that Fisher's children thus played a crucial role in informing Thatcherism. 'Without Fisher, no IEA, without the IEA and its shares, so Thatcher and quite possibly no Reagan, without Reagan, no War Wars, without War Wars, no economic collapse of the Soviet Union. Quite a chain of consequences for a thicker future!'

So next time you pick up a cheap supermarket (chicken, for thankful for what it has contributed to this country. We could well be in even more of a mess with our them.

In Peter Munked

WE HAVE been a country of sharp contrasts this past week. In the south, Wales in history – known for its Royal Burts about industry gardens – hasn't seen a drop of mind for 10 days.

Meanwhile, in north-east Scotland we Thursday the National Peace, Pyne Castle experience of 7mm (3 km) almost in usual total for the whole of Angles, as just two days.

And today the UK will be divided into three distinct bands. Up to the same, including History and Ireland, it will be bright and booey, but in southern Scotland, northern England and the Midlands we experience a weather front passing over that will bring some one in two third run.

Meanwhile, down in southern England, especially the south-eastern corner, the boat just keeps coming. Greatest London will be equal 30C (N4T). East Anglia not far behind at 20C (N4F), but Newcastle will manage only 20C (N1F). Edinburgh will do 6m/s of 10C (N4F) and Levenby but 10C (N7F).

As the weather front disappears off overnight, the dominant high pressure that has elapsed our summer and overfowl our gardens and fields, so we must not make much ahead and draw in more warm air from continental Europe. In the northern and western parts of the country, there will be a great deal of cloud, a background with brilliant blue spots, but in the south and east, the mercury in once again touching 30C (N4T).

As for this summer, low-pressure zones have been blocked by a series of apparently unanswerable areas of high pressure. Only in the north and west of Scotland has low pressure for everything a look at. The forecasters hear estimate is for significant rain to return in late August.

Model QA

经过严格审核，该翻译件存在多处致命缺陷（BLOCKING），主要集中在数字量级错误、严重的幻觉翻译以及对OCR乱码的误处理。

以下是详细审计报告：

═══ 严重缺陷报告 ═══

1. 数字量级与事实错误 [BLOCKING]

• 金额量级错误：译文提到“免费的 2000 万英镑&S 礼品卡”，原文为 £229（见 Stratified Text Samples 邮轮广告部分）。将 229 误译为 2000 万，属于严重的量级错误。
• 日期/年份混乱：译文在“申根协议”段落提到“2020 年仍有望成为...小船抵达人数最多的一年”，但报纸日期是 2026 年。原文 2020 极可能是 OCR 错误（应为 2026），但译文直接照搬且未在语境中处理，导致逻辑崩溃。
• 数字误读：译文提到“学费约为 £4.1万,000”，原文为 £41,000。译文出现了重复量级叠加（4.1万 + 000），导致金额扩大了10倍。

2. 严重幻觉与逻辑错误 [BLOCKING]

• 人物身份幻觉：在“总理可能会阻止...”段落中，译文出现“阻止 16. Harper 的杀手——‘情妇’——释放”。
  • 核查：原文 16. Harper 是 OCR 对 Pc Harper（警察哈珀）的误读。译文将其处理为“16. Harper”，且莫名将其定义为“情妇”。
  • 结论：严重幻觉。原文讨论的是杀害警察的凶手，而非情妇。
• 术语/内容幻觉：在“任命 Arday 的教授”段落中，出现“白人性的正义（عدالت of whiteness）”。
  • 核查：原文为 justice of whiteness。译文莫名插入了阿拉伯语 عدالت（意为正义），属于典型的模型幻觉/乱码注入。

3. 翻译完整性与质量 [WARNING]

• 低中文密度区域未翻译：
  • Sky Arts、U&Drama、Channel 5 等电视节目单区域在译文中被完全忽略或仅简单标注，未完成翻译。
• OCR 乱码直接翻译：
  • 译文出现“三项 hungryment, over-pastly close”，直接照搬了原文的 OCR 错误（原文 three-hungryment 等），未尝试根据上下文（医疗保健/温度）进行语义修复。
  • 出现“sleep-thorated”等无意义词汇，未标注为 [SOURCE_OCR] 且未尝试翻译。

4. 交付标签与格式 [WARNING]

• 残留标签：译文中出现 (原文为 an fifth at a four new school) 等内部注释，未在交付前清理。

═══ 审核结论 ═══

结论：[BLOCKING] 无法交付

主要原因： 1. 金额量级错误（£229 $\rightarrow$ 2000万英镑）导致商业信息严重失真。 2. 核心事实幻觉（将警察受害者误认为“情妇”）导致新闻报道性质改变。 3. 数字格式错误（£41,000 $\rightarrow$ £4.1万,000）导致关键数据错误。

建议： 必须重新翻译，且在翻译前需对 OCR 结果进行人工预清洗，特别是针对 Pc Harper $\rightarrow$ 16. Harper 这种典型的字符误认。
