The King of Germany

Harry hopes

to win back King's trust

• Push for reconciliation means no more interviews
• Home Office set to review taxpayer-funded security

By Victoria Ward and Tony Diver

THE Duke of Sussex hopes to equip the King's trust by no longer talking about private family matters in public.

Prince Harry, as The Infograph revealed yesterday, is moving back to the UK with his wife, Meghan, and their children, Prince Arthur, seven, and Princess Lilliot, five, and wants to be closer to his wider family.

As part of that, he is committed to rebuilding relations and reconciliation.

The King is understood to be pleased his younger son is coming home and is looking forward to spending more time with him and his family. However, it has been made very clear that there will be no alteration to the Duke and Duchess's role and status as private individuals and non-working youth.

Since leaving the UK in 2020, the couple have given a series of interviews, started in their own six-part Netflix series, about their lives and Harry published a 5th off release. But it is understood that he and his advisors will put an end to long-form television interviews as an effort to reconcile with the King and other senior youth.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, who are not thought to be on speaking terms with the Sunsters, have made no public comment about the impending move. The couple and their three children have joined the King and Queen for the annual family get together at Balmead, where the Sunsters' return is likely to be the subject of much discussion and debate.

It is further understood that the Duke and Duchess plan not to expose their children in the public eye. There will be no photographs released of her for and Lilliot on their first day at their next school in September and no portraits released on their birthdays.

The family's imminent return, expected later this month, is set to prompt a review of taxpayer-funded security, The Infograph understands.

The Duke has long fought for the right to guarantee justice protection but his efforts have been repeatedly the courts and by the Home Office commit

ber responsible for making such decisions. The change in the couple's so-called "unique circumstance" is expected to trigger a review of the current arrangement, which requires them to give 30-day's notice of any UK travel before each visit is assessed.

Two senior government sources said The Infograph that the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Rave), the body that determines the security arrangements of high-profile figures, is likely to review the couple's security arrangements in light of their plan to return to Britain, and that it may be easier to arrange protection when they are in the UK full time.

It is possible that the review could be fair tracked ahead of their arrival, but the source indicated that there were no current plans to deplete a team to protect them. This would mean that the couple could be forced to pay for their own private protection when they land in Britain while they are at the outcome of any potential review.

The Duke has been locked in a long-standing battle with the Home Office over his protection, having demanded the right to armed police protection whenever he is in the country.

However, he has largely been denied protection on previous visits, including most security law returns to Birmingham to mark the one-year countdown to the heaviest Games in July.

The Government promised a fresh assessment of his security arrangements, which was due to begin at the beginning of this year, but the review is not thought to have yet gone ahead.

Andy Burnham said yesterday that the Duke and Duchess's security were a "private matter", despite the potential cost for taxpayers if their security is reinstated.

Asked about the couple's security on a visit to West Yorkshire, the Prime Minister said: "This is a private matter. It's a matter for Harry and for Meghan. And we wish them well in the move that they're making." Both sources said Mr Burnham's comments reflect on the fact Continued on Page 4

Israel says 'patronising' Miliband is harming relations with Britain

By Dominic Preuss

SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

ISRAEL has said that Ed Miliband's "patronising" criticisms of the West Bank plans has damaged Britain's relations ship with the country.

The Foreign Secretary attached her print. We are also about the role to every its "unacceptable" plan to build an enormous settlement in the West Bank, claiming that it indeed destroying the two-state solution.

Gideon fear, the Israeli foreign minister, let back at his counterpart, saying "The UK Government's decision to damage the relationship between our countries is deeply unfortunate."

Mr Miliband confirmed hours earlier that he would bring forward fresh sanctions after the Israeli government published a tender for the commission of the El project. The plan has been built by 3,500 houses between Jerusalem and the Jordan border.

Critics fear that it would effectively cut the West Bank at the end of several contiguous body of land forming the basis of a viable Mauritania state.

Britain has coming sanctions against a loosely defined group of violent extremists following a previous crack down on settler violence.

This Israeli government's publication of a tender for the El settlement project is an unacceptable and destruc-

tive act." Mr Miliband said. The Foreign Secretary proceeded to accuse Israel of putting the prospect of a two-state solution, in which Israel and Palestine could peacefully vouch at risk.

He said: "El would cut across the heart of Palestine and risks separating the West Bank from East Jerusalem, which would endanger the viability of a two-state solution."

Mr Miliband also pledged to bring forward "a comprehensive set of measures to respond to Israeli government policies" including sanctions on those taking part in illegal settlements.

However, yesterday, Mr Near wrote on K. Teapict outright the statement of the UK Foreign Secretary and the pat-

ronising tone of his words. The Jewish people have the right to live throughout the land of Israel, and with a British have the right to live in London and throughout the United Kingdom." Mr Near

'It is absurd for Britain to lecture the Jewish people about where they may live in their historic homeland'

declared it was 'absurd for Britain to lecture the Jewish people about where they may live in their historic tiny homeland'

He went on to claim that no new pol-

ay decisions had been made on H, and that the decision to press ahead with the settlement was made last year.

Mr Near added: "The British Foreign Secretary's statement is urgently one-sided. If a endemic Israel while turning a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism in its turmoil and the Palestinian further my commitment financial support for terror - the 'par for day' policy."

"The UK Government's systematic policy of blaming only Israel while ignoring Palestinian extremism has already contributed to a massive wave of anti-Semitic hatred and attacks against the British Jewish community.

"Continuing down this path will only make the situation worse. The UK Gov-

ernment's decision to damage the relationship between our countries is deeply unfortunate. But Israel will not be a passive victim of this policy. Israel will defend its rights, its interests and its people."

Last night, Andy Burnham branded the settlement plans "unacceptable" in a joint statement issued alongside the leaders of an other countries including France and Germany. It urged Israel to "retract these plans immediately and end its expansion of settlements in the West Bank" adding that the proposed settlements "further undermine Israel's international standing."

Oil adviser handed Rayner £20,000 gift

Housing Secretary has repeatedly attacked the industry while backing Labour's net zero drive

By James Tishig, news@sunr.com

ANGELA KATNER, the Housing Secretary, took a £20,000 donation from an oil adviser's group.

Despite previously criticising Consercutive for failing to "take on oil and

gas giants", Mr Rayner accepted the donation from Signum Global Advisors on July 8 this year to cover some of her staffing costs, according to the latest register of MN: financial interests.

Opponents have accused Mr Rayner of hypocrisy for taking money from a firm that works closely with oil executives, after years of attacking oil and gas companies.

Mr Rayner has cured strong support for Labour's net zero drive, under which oil is regarded as a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions

that must be rapidly phased out. Earlier this year, Mr Rayner praised her "friend" Ed Miliband for his net zero agenda and said Mr Miliband's push for chair energy was what Britain needed in light of the war in him.

She has also consistently voted for increasing windfall tax on oil and gas companies and criticised former Consercutive prime minister Liz Truss for failing to "take on oil and gas giants" and being "half-bent engendering their £20.00 to £30.00 goodwill".

In March this year, Signum Global

Advisors organised gatherings of dozens of oil company executives and hedge fund managers in Venezuela to discuss opportunities for oil exploration in the country.

It's a classic Angela Rayner case of 'do as I say, not as I do' just as it was when she dipped her housing taxes," said Kevin Hollisnake, the chairman of the Consercutive Party. "Mr Rayner was one of Mr Miliband's short books on his repeatedly blocked North Sea drilling fires. It seems her opposition isn't strong enough to stop her from taking £20,000 from an oil adviser. Mr Rayner can't have it both ways."

Rashul MacDoug, the head of campaigns at the think tank Oswald, said: "This is yet another case of Labour hypocrisy from a minister who has made a cause of it."

Mr Rayner cheered on Mr Miliband's net-zero crusade and repeatedly voted to raise windfall taxes on oil and gas companies. She lectured the industry from the moral high ground while

British firms paid the price and then when out of office, she happily banked tens of thousands from a firm requiring investment together all executives.

Mr Rayner resigned from her post as housing secretary in September last year after The Telegraph disclosed she had avoided paying £40,000 in stamp duty on the purchase of her second home in Biow, East Sussex. She was reappraised in the role when Andy Bursham became Prime Minister, having paid the correct amount of stamp duty after seeking legal advice.

Signum Global Advisors does not share a public roster of its clients, but boasts superior in propellists, security and defense, infrastructure, elections and cryptocurrencies. According to the register of members financial interests, Mr Rayner is the only sitting MP to have accepted a donation from the firm.

A spokesman for Mr Rayner said: "All donations have been declared in line with the rules." Signum Global Advisors was contacted for comment.

Ofcom probe Sky News over Farage family privacy row

By Nick Guttersidge

senior yourselves.com/americancer

THE media watchdog is to investigate Sky News after one of its reporters visited Nigel Farage's daughter at home.

Ofcom confirmed yesterday that it was launching a formal investigation into a report that the 24-hour news channel broadcast last month.

Its decision came in response to a complaint submitted by Reform UK over the incident on July 6, which the party said amounted to harassment.

In a letter to the watchdog, Reform said the news channel had breached Ofcom rules over accuracy, impartiality and respect for privacy, and demanded that it be made to issue an apology and on-air correction.

The row stopped last month when a Sky News reporter knocked on the door of a property where the Reform leader's daughter at home. At the time of the approach, Mr Farage was out of the country. In a document, seen by The Telegraph, Ofcom said it had evaluated Reform's complaint and found that it warranted an investigation.

Ofcom can launch investigation into breakouters over breaching its rules and, in the most serious cases, can impose fines or even revoke their license. Its findings are published online, though it does not directly have the power to force TV stations to publish an apology or correction.

Yesterday Rosita Braverman, Reform's education spokesman, took aim at roam over the party was considering a pact with the Tories or Restless Italian before the next election.

The former Tory home secretary, who defeated to Nigel Farage's party in January, told that one source to "get real" and support Reform.

Islamophobia definitions destroyed in 'cover-up'

By Charles Hymus

trend, artisum (2019)

ANGELA KATNER's department there is who takes a submitted as part of its work to devise a new Islamophobia definition.

Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, used freedom of information (FNI) laws to discover that Mr Rayner's communities department had deleted all the submissions to its working group which drew up a draft of the definition.

He a co-written department of a "cover-up" and said he wanted to establish whether extensive organisations had influenced the process.

At least one comment group, which

cannot be named for legal reasons, has disclosed a admission which urged the working group to adopt a controversial definition previously backed by Labour. A also called an suggestion to take part in the consultation.

The admission comes despite Labour continuing the previous government's policy of having no contact with the groups. The communities department claims it was necessary to destroy them because of the "volume of special category that" which, under the Data Protection Act 2016, could not be retained longer than needed for the consultation. The includes personal information, and data on philosophical and religious beliefs and political opinions. But Mr

Timothy told The Telegraph "Labour must come clean on whether extremist groups helped to draft their 'Islamophobia' definition. Ministers have refused to answer whether these groups differed on the definition despite one similar policy, and we now know that the Government deleted every single response the working group received.

"I have clearly>Never squandered way, and the public have a right to know whether a definition the Government is asking the entire public and private sector to adopt was influenced by the views of extremists."

Following the consultation, Labour moved to scrap the term "Islamophobia" in favour of "anti-Muslim hostility".

Public, private and charity bodies are to be encouraged by the Government to adopt a new non-existence definition of anti-Muslim hostility. The strategy states the definition will serve as a tool to better understand, measure, prevent and address anti-Muslim hostility".

Mr Timothy has written to the top civil servant at the communities department, complaining he has consistently been refused the answer of the separate items consulted, the evidence submitted and the working group's final report.

Now the department claims the information no longer exists. To write: "This is an action clearly thing to admit. It means that your department has published a definition of anti-Muslim

hostility that will be used across government departments and which the Government has recommended all public and private sector organisations adopt, yet the evidence that has left itself the working group's conclusion is now impossible to scrutinise.

"This is an unacceptable lack of transparency."

In its response, the communities department said: "FNI's no longer held individual responses submitted to the full list evidence. Following completion of the analysis of the evidence received, individual submissions were disposed of in accordance with agreed retention arrangements for special category data analysis."

River cruise: dry up over threat of droughts

Ariel conditions in Europe are making it increasingly difficult for cruise ships to navigate waterways

By Emma Taggart

RIVER holders along the Danube and the Rhine are increasingly under threat as from great that Europe's major waterways will be routed by drought for years to come.

Works of dry weather and extreme heat across the Continent have caused water levels to fall to a record low in the

Danube at Budapest, while ships are struggling to transport goods and passengers down the Rhine.

The drought has led to fears that river summers will once equally act the rupture for holidaymakers working on landless Viking, the wealth league ever tour operator, warned this week that more than half its bookings between July and mid-August had been impacted by low water network Europe, leading to curtailed trips and road transfers between ships.

Analysts are now weaning that if low water levels go past, demand for more cruises could along as tourists choose more predictable holidays.

SRP Global, the financial ratings appear, said: "Low water levels pose a risk to river cruise operators and could affect future river cruises, resulting in even here, cancellation, and higher costs."

"If low water conditions are prolonged or become more volatile over future years, this could affect future bookings and overall demand for river cruises if customers become wary of the certainty of river conditions.

Long stretches of the Danube have seen water levels fall to 30-year lows, making them impossible to larger vessels. The shallow waters have led to the discoveries of sunless Nazi warships in

Serbia and a 700kg unexplored British national war. Yet, Monday.

The low water levels have left some cruise customers complaining that large chunks of their European river tour have been replaced by gruelling incircumbers.

Viking said this week it had not called off any cruises, but between 10pc and 12pc of guests who had booked a trip along the Danube and Rhine had spent to cancel, with the company offering future cruise runs here to them instead.

The low water levels have made normal tour operations increasingly that longing for Viking, with two cruise ships running aground.

Bulgarian police evacuated 100 passengers from the Viking Villas (as month after the ship came into contact with the sun/blank along the Danube.

Viking Erase can aground with around 100 passengers on board on the Rhine River in Cologne. Surrounds on the end of June as it attempted to dock.

Earlier this summer, Viking insisted it was "uniquely positioned to manage water level situations such as blow".

It said it had a network of "sister ships" along its route to allow for "dipy serups" where guests can "transfer to their exact same ottercoats on an identical sister ship on the other side of the affected section of river."

Several other cruise businesses have also reported brand disruption because of the low water levels.

Riviera Cruises has one-filed three of its cruises along the Danube River this week and six trips scheduled to begin later this month are currently under review. A number of its ships are also travelling with revised itineraries because of the low water levels.

Emerald Cruises and Tours also warned passengers that low water levels were causing challenges for ships along the Danube, Rhine and Main rivers. Viking Cruises, Riviera Cruises and Emerald Cruise and Tours were contacted for comment.

Four or five so dozens of migrants charge beach at Spain's La Manga resort

By Graham Kevley in Study of

TUCKISTS filed when dozens of migrants received a beach near Spain's La Manga club.

More than 60 migrants ranged from a speedboat on to the beach, prompting tourists to park up their things and have been people on the beach were seen calling the police.

Before many of the migrants could even reach the beach, two men driving the vessel - a high-speed launch - turned it round and headed back out to the Mediterranean.

Migrants were seen hoping from the event into the water, before swimming, ashore and walking past the sun/others towards the nearby town of Ataranta in Mexico.

The incident happened at about 3pm on Wednesday at the orchard of a la del Barco near the La Manga resort in Murcia. La Manga is known for its golf courses and football training by thitter, which have been used by teams including the England national win and more recently Arsenal and Newcastle.

Francisco Bernabé, a conservative senator from the nearby town of La Unina, said in a social media post: "Dozens of the immigrants today at La Manga resort.

"Why was it not possible to detect a vessel of those dimensions with all radars before? Are they broken? Do they have them turned off? Or are they working and they might ignore them."

Novita Arroyo, the mayor of the nearby port city of Cartagena, told Cakaya for radio: "This cannot be normalised. If a migrant can reach a cow like this, disembark in full view of cinema and love, we have to ask ourselves how the control of our maritime borders is working!"

Spain's civil guard later said they had arrested 40 men, two women and 15 boys. All were healthy, said the Red Cross. The migrants were handed over to Spain's National Police, which deals with migration issues.

Men will be returned to their country of origin, but if they do claim asylum, they will undergo a lengthy process to evaluate their claims.

This is the latest incident of migrants being dropped off by traffickers on beaches after travelling at high speeds across the Mediterranean from Morocco or Algeria to Spain.

Earlier this month, Spanish police broke up one of the largest networks smuggling shops and people in the western Mediterranean.

Europe had 79 people were arrested in Spain and Algeria but part of an operation against a gang involved in violent robberies, interethnic discrimination and money laundering.

The group moved synthetic drugs from Spain and from the Algecla, they used the return route to smuggle migrants and guns to the Spanish mainland andunderline.

Rajdowna high-speed vessels worth £100 UK and £200 used. Authorities noted pass, £20,000–£25,000 in cash and £5,000 MDRR bills.

Meanwhile, police and soldiers yes-

towley chaired an estimated 4,000 people from the main beach in the north African section Creta, three weeks after 72,000 posted through the border from Morocco to Spain. In some cases, traffickers transport migrants from Creta to the mainland in boats.

Police told The Telegraph that two traffickers were arrested this week for transporting 12 migrants in speedboats from Creta, across the Mediterranean and to the Spanish mainland.

A Spanish police spokesman said: "Two people were declared this week for transporting almost a dozen migrants from Creta to the Spanish mainland."

Stop the boats French halt 12 draftees in three months

French police have founded 12 migrant "ravi boats" in their first interrogations at sea since the UK signed a £60,000 deal to cash Channel crossings. A new elite police and stopped the boats

traveling up the French coast to pick up migrants waiting to cross the Channel to Britain. The disclosure by the Home Office came as officials also released footage of police officers using Pass spray

to disperse migrants trying to launch a boat from the beach, before adaling the drafgts with a knife. Charlie Edingh, the UK's border security commander, claimed that it was evidence of

the French taking a more "tried" and aggressive approach. The footage is designed to counter criticism of French officers. The Home Office said the French units prevented 185 "small boat

crossing events" in the three months after the new UK-France deal. They said this represented 61 per cent of attempts, five per cent up on the same period last year. Charles Hymes

It never rains but it pours: London has been a good way for the American. Asians and Muslims told to wash hosepipe ban to last until end of year rice and feet less to save water

By Tom McArdle

THE hosepipe ban in London is expected to last until the end of the year, a Thames Water boss has said.

David Muscaster, the average water resources director at Thames Water, said the ban would remain as place for numbering the whole weather and the measures were necessary to "prevent the environment".

Words of record-breaking live and dry weather have led to hosepipe use restrictions for more than 27 million people across England and Wales.

Last month, Britain's largest water company into the old hosepipe ban in more than 10 million customers across London and the Thames Valley.

Mr Muscaster said there had been a "huge demand on top of our normal supplies" after the businesses that took.

Asked when the ban would be lifted, he told Timm Ruble: "Once we get a recovery of our systems, Charly O'cotill (it). The Environment Agency (here) said that it will be more than normal for the next few months.

That at the same time we're going to

make sure we protect the environment, make sure we see our ground flow and river flow restored. I think endlessly, the 2.5 going to be towards the end of the year before that comes off.

The ban prevents households from using hosepipes to 80 padifing pools, water gardens and water use because of no inking supplies.

The percentage of England that is currently in drought: World areas include the South and Midlands

Southern Water houses the first utility to apply for a drought order and a three thousand five feet in the life of Wight and Bumpkins.

Elsewhere, customers of Atlantic Water, Anglian Water, Cambridge Water, Essex and Suffolk Water, South East Water, South West Water, Southern Water, Wessex Water and Welsh Water have all been hit by bans, almost

three-quarters (75.3 per cent) of England is currently in drought, according to the Environment Agency. The worst affected areas include the South and Midlands, while there has also been prolonged dry weather in the North.

The conditions have led to a scaled-up response from the National Water Survey (NWS), which includes the Government, water companies and the Met Office. The NWS has said it will now hold weekly meetings to tackle the issue.

Western Water said the customers used around 100 million litres more water than normal each day during the river weather. It urged the customers to take shorter showers after warning that treatment levels were lower than usual.

The utility also said in London reserves were 74 per cent full at the end of last month, below the average 87 per cent level where it usually sits at this time of year.

A Thames Water spokesman said: "Although we want to lift the hosepipe ban as soon as we can, a few showers will not be enough."

ASIA'S and Muslim communities have been hit by wash their ice and feet less in a water saving path.

What, the water industry explains, has been criticised for funding "dinner" guidelines targeting ethnic minority households.

It used £270,000 of billpayers' money for a reward initiative that used a celebrity chef to reach health at Asian how to cook and wash rice with low water. Muslims were also encouraged to use only a litre of water when performing ritual albinism known as "waste" before prayer.

As part of an ongoing water saving scheme, the project was led by South Staffordshire Water, which worked on developing "water saving behavioural change campaigns within faith and diverse communities" by targeting "excessive" washing of food by some cultures.

But critics have questioned the value of the project and suggested water companies should focus more on fixing leaking infrastructure, which results in

more than a billion litres of water being tested every day. The water industry has come under increased scrutiny following the long, dry summer which has left much of the country under however basic spelling over time customers could be penalised with higher bills under schemes to limit water use and fund improvements to the network.

Researchers identified rice as a particular concern and found that households used an average of seven litres of water to wash rice before cooking it, when only one litre is necessary.

An 60-out spokesman said: "This summer's prolonged dry weather remains no of the need for all of us to use water more efficiently and to be stewards of this previous resource."

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex turned their backs on the UK in search of financial independence and freedom on the other side of the villains.

The angry manner of their departure hardly cemented familial relations. But it was the series of largely damaging allegations about the Royal family that came next. Through television interviews, documentaries and books, that sent shockwaves through the monarchy that reverberate to this day.

Now, Harry and Meghan are returning and want to make a fresh start. To do so will involve winning back support and trust from both within the royal fold and the wider public.

The couple, sources insist, will no longer expose private details about other members of the Royal family.

As they prepare to tolerate to the UK with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lillier, the part of their "strategy" firmly rules out television interviews as which they might be encouraged to overshare.

The tactic should prevent the Duke from forming the "establishment" supporting that members of the Royal family are racist or that the Queen is a

"villain" whose quest for good publicity left to do so in the street.

There will be "nothing" said in public about the Royal family. It is claimed:

The very thought will prompt much eye-sifting at the kingdom Duke v. Trust has broken down almost beyond repair. It is understandable why many would dare not risk saying anything to Harry or Meghan that could be reported in months or years down the line. Trust must be curbed.

The couple also plan to take a firm line on privacy.

There will be no photographs released of Archie and Lilliert on their

first day at a new school, no portraits released on their birthdays.

In recent years, Meghan has regularly posted videos of her children on social media, always obscuring their faces. But while they recognize that they cannot keep their identities secret for ever, they do intend to protect them as much as they can.

British media organizations have been urged by the regulator not to disclose the location of the new family home nor the children's school.

The Duke and Duchess will be making no announcement about either. Their new home, sea non-repai

residence, is entirely private. The big question is why now? Why have the couple decided to abandon their lives in California, the sunshine, the surfing and the sea, to return to the land where they were so desperately unhappy?

There is more to come. But for now those close to them simply insist that there are "a number of factors".

The timing is good and works for them right now," said one. The family is win over the public might be hard fought. Prince Harry has been making sporadic visits for years and his most recent spate of engagements on behalf of his charities were well covered.

Meghan has not been seen here since the Elizabeth IV funeral in September 2022. Her last public engagement was in June 2022 when she and Harry attended a Platinum Jubilee Service of Thanksgiving at St Paddy Cathedral.

When the couple stepped back outside after the service, there was the odd box until plenty of shooting.

Will the surveyors that dominate the villain narrative stop out from behind their keyboards? Or will the couple largely be welcomed back, albeit with a certain caution?

A teacher and released less than 24 hours after The Telegraph broke the news that they were coming back revealed a third of Britons oppose the news, while 16 per cent are undecided. Just over a fifth, 21 per cent, said they were in favour.

The older generation was more likely to say they should not move back - with 47 per cent of those over 65 saying the couple should not return, compared with 21 per cent of those aged 19-24.

The King is understood to be glad to be able to spend more time with his younger son and his family, but remains adamant that the move will not prompt a shift in their status and that there is no "ball in, half out" option.

The Duke's security status has long been catching point and remains key to this move. Andy Burnham, the Prime Minister, insisted yesterday that it was a "patron matter" for the business.

The Home Office was unwilling to provide security details "as doing so could compromise their integrity."

Review of security could be fast-tracked ahead of Harry's arrival

Continued from Page 1 But the Scannone corporate citizens, not working Engels, and that their current security in California is privately funded. He could interesting to make further comments about the security arrangements across France change the decision, sources

said. One source familiar with the Government's VIP security system said the committee was usually "exposedly oversubscribed" because of the unprecedented number of hung former press ministers, who are entitled to security for life. There are only so many specialized police

officers who are qualified to do this job," the source said. "There is a chronic shortage of protective officers in Britain and a hallooning need for them." Candidates for security are assessed by the committee based on the threat to their lives from birth to love, who should include terror

groups and force situations. An assessment by the Duke's own private security team found that he is the focus of an terrorist plots, including five in the UK. MPs questioned Mr Burnham's claim that the Scannone' security was a private matter. One former minister said "it's not a

private matter, it's a matter for UK taxpayers. Let's not forget the record Harry has got to bringing the Royal family to significantly into disrepute in the past." Another former minister said there was no reason why Mr Burnham could not disclose whether any security would be taxpayer-funded.

"It's perfectly reasonable to expect them to conflict whether they're going to receive state-funded security," they said. "You can't talk about what security is provided because they you compromise it. But you don't want that levely saying they're going to have state-funded security."

King's greatest test will be to navigate rift between his sons

Hannah Furness ROYAL EDITOR

THE King, we are told, has an inner crest.

It was over - briefly but firmly - as he eventually dealt with Andrew Mendelsohn-Winslow, and has certainly been evident as navigating his own career.

As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex return to Britain any minute now, it will be tested to capacity.

He will be called on to navigate the ex- for undeclared plans of Prince Harry and Meghan, while - it is no exaggeration to say - keeping the cost of the monarchy on hand.

The prediction in royal circles is that the business are about to embark on a public relations field of British leadership to win the public around for their view that their name had on - half out, and put pressure on the King and the Prince of Wales to allow it.

Prince William, an particular already faces calls to "hold-out an olive branch" and "be the bigger person".

A section of romantically inclined royalties are desperate to see the story

are of brother's renaming. "It's what their brother would have wanted," connect the call, from those who could not know.

Never mind the accusations in Spain, on their Netflix shows, and the equals Wally's interview, or the social media videos just at the Princess of Wales as a result, say those with short memories.

Never mind how the pressure on the Wales's children has increased because "back-Racey" returned his family from what was once a shared duty, to which he now wants to profit return. And never mind the reputational damage to crown and Commonwealth along the way.

Prince William, fresh from the trauma of her wife's cancer and living with the reality of his father's, will be put under pressure to rejoin the drama, olive first.

That is not, as it stands, on the cards. The King has made it clear that the Scannone without be permitted to be working royals, and nor - it is claimed - do they want to be.

Instead, the Duke will start the news at his old patronage, the Duchess will continue her gun business, and the children will transfer to a British school. Those who need to know and

William and Harry speak after the death of Elizabeth II in 2022

work near the Sussex have deep suspicions about their motive for renaming and what else may be coming down the path. Another documentary's mother morned?

It may turn out to be an straightforward in-hifted, but few in the royal-sold trust that yet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, for their part, have today promised to stop to stop publicly discussing private family matters.

On that basis, the King can only watch and wait.

On the rest of it, he will need all his renaming crest to navigate not just the seemingly intractable rift between his sons. He seems the rest of the working family too.

The blueprint was left by Elizabeth II, who oversaw the kindlingham burnout and whose decision the Sussex's place'd up to.

So half in, half out" was the clear message, and the King intends to uphold it at his reign.

Prince William, too, harks back to his grandmothers' wishes, as do the rest of the working Royal family, it is understood.

But there is concern about writing a precedent. While the Princess Royal, the Ginneston, the Edinburgh and

"There are suspicions about their motive for returning and what else may come down the path"

the Duke of Kent stick to the deal of unveiling plaques on any given wet Wednesday afternoon out of loyalty, why would future generations bother if there is money to be made and an easier life to live?

The news of the return of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex blindsided those inside palace walls.

The King was informed of the Sussexese plans on Sunday, and information was obtained through palace channels to the Prince and Princess of Wales and other working members of the family.

First, like us, wait to learn of the Sussexese plans in Britain.

Prince William, friends have said for some time, is a different man to the other brother left behind in Megan. His wife's illness has given him perspective, and left both hypnoticened on their nuclear family and allergic to the drama of the Royal family soap spots.

The King's job now, sources say, is to hold the law. To welcome Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilliert back as a father and grandfather, but not as the head of The Firm.

Steel may have to turn to tungsten in the coming months.

What return to UK means for couple's tax bill

Speculation that super rich pair are moving now to take advantage of an HMRC scheme

By Madeleine Ross and Steve Bird

AS THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex prepare to relocate back to the UK they will be keenly aware of the risk of unwelcome attention from the inausas.

With an international property and investment portfolio, millions of pounds in the bank from he states: Nothin deals, as well as money be spared led by Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen's Mother and Diana, Princess of Wales, their estimated £10bn net worth is bound to be of interest to HMRC.

Within hours of The Telegraph revealing Prince Harry and Meghan were planning a return to Britain, there was speculation they could benefit from a tax break, afforded to those who have stayed away for more than five years.

But the complexities of the US and British tax systems—as well as the perks and perks of being multi-millionaires—will mean their financial advisers will have their work cut out.

Inverably, the deed will be in the details of their financial affairs since 2020, when they announced they were leaving the UK and stopped receiving financial support from the Royal family.

The couple were clear that Prince Harry's inheritance from himself or was the reason they were able to move to the US. Now, six years on, their finances are apparently robust enough for them to return a £10.3m property in the US, a £6.1m home in Portugal, as well as setting up house as England.

In his 2020 interview with Oprah Winfrey, shortly after leaving Britain, the Duke hinted at how they would initially tackle the financial challenges ahead. "I've got what my main left me, and without that, we would not have been able to do this," he said, sitting beside his three-pregnant wife in the Asian Barbara sunshine. "It's like she saw it coming and she's been with us through this whole process."

Since that interview, their financial outlook has certainly changed—with the couple's affairs further complicated by a pill of US investments, entertainment deals and a jam making business. It means the English and American couple will have to work out carefully how far they serve their links with the US.

While the family is moving their base to the UK—and Prince Archie and Princess Lillieet are to start school here in a shelter of weeks—reports suggest they won't cut all their ties to California.

The couple are likely to keep the £10.3m, in bedroom, Californian moravian, bought in 2020, and the Portuguese home to the golf and home court in Costa Torra, south of Lisbon, which they acquired in 2020 for £9.5m.

That international property puts his complexities their tax status—keeping that Montecito home will mean a tax bill of approval—stands £800,000 a year paid to the state of California.

The Duchess's America citizenship also lands them with an extra bill. Because the US takes its citizens on their worldwide income, no matter where they live, the Duchess will probably still have to pay America in time.

To do this as a multi-millionaire she would have to pay an "out for" to the US government. If she remains a US citizen, the couple will have to do an annual audit of their finances to work out how much tax is owed in each country. Jennifer

McNally, partner at an firm Down, said: "The tax position is unlikely to be straightforward, and it may be that Harry and Meghan's positions are not identical."

Superinకాలied that the couple could even have to pay tax in both the UK and the US this year, as a result of moving higher in Portugal this year.

Mc McNally said: "In the UK and US 14 years are not aligned, they may be considered that UK and US tax resident for a period or multitively."

Compleating matters further is Portugal—where the couple owes a home, Portugal offers those who have invested £350,000 in property or businesses the opportunity to live there. If they spent more than 10 days a year there and their main family and business ties were Portuguese, they would become tax residents there, rather than in the UK.

But the fact the couple seemed to put their children in a British school makes it unlikely.

Their foreign homes will also mean they have to pay more in young hair if they buy another property in the UK. Second home owners pay higher stamp duty rates, adding as much as £1.6m to the tax bill on a £10m home. Meanwhile,

Harry and Meghan are keeping £10m in access to California, bought with inheritance from Princess Diana, local below

the Duchess is no longer able to be a new deal for tax purposes, because of changes introduced by Rachel Reeves, the former chancellor, from April last year.

But the Duchess may well be able to take advantage of the Reeves's change of non-duty rules in 2020, which means that wealthy foreigners pay lower rates of tax on money brought into the UK until 2024.

Put simply, if she takes money from her US portfolio and invests it in the UK, the Duchess would only pay 10 per cent tax, to/bet that the 10 per cent top income tax rate.

Some have speculated that the timing of their decisions to return more than five bill tax years could have been their attempt—as investors and entrepreneurs—to avoid other strict HMRC

rules. These who take out of the UK be more than five years, as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have done, will not take capital gains bills on more than one-third better than departure.

Andy Burnham, the new incumbent in No. 10, is rumoured to foresee an increase in capital gains taxes, to the couple may have a seldom window within which to cut off assets—for example, so they can buy a British house—both avoiding the higher US capital gains ratios and dodging any proposed increase the Treasury may be planning. HMRC declined to comment.

All the times the Sussexes criticised Britain

By India My Taggart Irvine's Counterminuter

AFTER apparently breaking up with Britain for good, the measures are returning to the UK.

—We're like salt and pepper. We always move together! the Duchess once said about her relationship with Prince Harry.

The Telegraph revealed that the couple would be relocating by the end of the month and receding their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lillieet, as a British school.

This comes after costing of derogatory comments made about the country since their departure more than six years ago.

The British 'stiff upper lip' The Duchess, 16, labeled the strict British approach to handling emotions

as "probably really damaging" in a 2019 interview during the couple's last overseas tour as working people.

When discussing her coverage in the country's third of press, she said: "I think I really tried to adopt this British sensibility of a stiff upper lip.

"I tried, I really tried, but I think what that does informally is probably really damaging"

British tabloids will destroy your life

In the same ITV interview in Cape Town, she revealed that female had warned her the tabloids "will destroy your life" if she married a royal.

The Duchess then revealed she told them in response: "What are you talking about? That doesn't make any sense. I'm not in the tabloids."

She added: "I didn't get it. So, it's been-coupled and."

The voice of the Duke, 16, cracked as he discussed the Duchess while giving evidence in his privacy claim against Associated Newspapers in January, a claim that he lost last month.

They have made say with a lab on absolute misery, say Lord," he said.

Britain's schools

In a 2022 interview with The Cat magazine, the Duchess claimed she could never "do school pick-up and drop-off" in Britain "without it being a royal place—all with a press pen of six people snapping pictures".

Meanwhile the Prince and Princess of Wales do school runs for their three children every day with no pictures, finding or posing them.

As is typical where royal children start new schools, the palace will organise a highly controlled and limited camera and reporter "pool" photos all in exchange for trial media privacy for the rest of their education.

Before Prince William expected Eton, where Prince George will begin his first term next month, editors agreed to respond his privacy.

In the Duke and Duchess's explosive North of the course, Harry & Meghan, the country's past and the Royal family's approach to race was criticised extensively.

Blood scandal victims must return payouts

Bereaved partners attack 'callous' demand to hand back £10,000 of compensation after error

By Charlotte Gifford

HENSON, MONDAY, MAY 01ST DAY

BERKAVED spouses of infected blood victims have been told to return their compensation, The Telegraph can reveal.

Since July 12 bereaved partners have received letters asking them to return £10,000 payments made up to five years ago.

In a copy of the letter seen by this newspaper, the Government said it had paid the money by mistake. "Unfortunately[...] you were not eligible for the bereavement hang-outs and should not have received this payment. We sincerely apologize that this error was not identified at an earlier stage."

The recipients of the letters had lost spouses and long-term partners to HIV and hepatitis viruses in the infected blood scandal, considered the worst

treatment disaster in NHS history. Many are owed large sums in compensation from the Government.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Cabinet Office have suspended the payment requests after several charities and The Telegraph raised the issue. The departments said they were considering "the right and fair outcome" for the group who received the £10,000 in error.

But one widow who received the letter said: "It just feels so callous. To receive this letter out of the blue saying we're going to deduct £10,000 – it's so ill judged and disappointing."

The Hepatitis C Trust said it was a 'heterodose' way to treat victims of a scandal. Rachel Halford, the charity's chief executive, said: "If the aim of compensation was to provide peace and resolution to those who've suffered, the thought that at any moment they might be contacted to repay part of it thus in the face of that."

More than 10,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis viruses between the 1970s and 1990s after being given contaminated blood transfusions and blood-clotting products.

More than 1,000 people died. The Government has agreed to pay billions to the victims and their families in an official compensation scheme.

However, some were already receiving financial support through the England Infected Blood Support Scheme (EIBSS), which launched in 2017.

One form of compensation was a £10,000 one-off payment for those whose spouse or partner died before November 2017. But in 2023, the rules changed so only those whose partners died after November 2017 could receive the payment. The Government said this was to align the scheme with Scotland and Wales.

However, it has since emerged that the Government mistakenly sent the £10,000 payments to 12 individuals whose partners had died before 2017.

The EIBSS noticed the error while making assurance checks ahead of its transfer to the official infected blood compensation scheme.

A government spokesman said: "Ministers have told officials to suspend any repayment requests while we consider the right outcome for the small group of people who were paid incorrectly."

Da ya think I'm shrinking? Sir Rod Stewart was dwarfed by 20-year-old son Alastair as they watched Celtic win 3-0 against Austrian team LASK at Celtic Park, in Glasgow.

Gray: Working under Starmer was unbearable

By Telegraph Reporter

WONDER is for four Starmer's No 50 was "unbearable". Revenge Gray has said.

In her first interview since resigning as Sir Roy's chief of staff, Lady Gray criticised the briefing wars that took place inside the government, saying they were "very, very difficult" and revealed her disappointment that Sir Roy had not done more to tackle briefings by insiders about her in the media.

Lady Gray, who was the most senior adviser in the Labour administration before her departure in 2024, made the comments to Ed Balls on the PoliticalCurrency podcast.

Asked by Mr Balls, a former Labour shadow chancellor, about the briefings against her, Lady Gray said they had started while Labour was in opposition, where she would "read about things that I would have said or refused" which continued into government.

"I had always taken a view as a civil servant and actually as a special adviser that you should be able to speak freely in rooms," she said.

"And I couldn't recall those sorts of discussions being briefed out.

"And yet here I found myself, you know, stories about supposedly trying to move Morgan McRaveney to the back of the building.

"Actually, that was a genuine 'Lunt' for he was many of you are going to sit in this small room, let's find a better room for you."

She continued: "It just got to the point where everything you say, you feel somebody is recording it."

Asked whether Sir Roy was willing to act on her concern, she said: "I talked to

him a couple of times about it, and I don't really want to disclose individual conversation, but I was disappointed that not more was done."

Sir Roy's government had faced criticism from Labour members, including Larry Powell, the party's deputy leader, who described a "loose club" culture in both, with a pattern of "anonymous nasty briefings" – particularly against women.

"It was definitely unbearable, particularly for me," Lady Gray said. "And I would say that some of that briefing came from me.

"I think it was very difficult, and it was just affecting

Lady Gray feared everything she said was being recorded

me and my life. I was getting into the office very early in the morning. I was leaving his to avoid. It was [a] very, very, very difficult period."

Asked about the lack of positive vision in the early days of the Labour government and her responsibility for that, she said: "I think ultimately, you have a leader of the party, you have a prime minister, leader of the opposition.

"You have to set your vision, your agenda, and that is definitely what everybody is looking for."

MOST Londoners want Sir Nadig Khan to stand down at the next mayoral election, a new poll drawn.

Sir Nadig, who became the Labour Mayor of London in May 2016, is serving a record third term in City Hall and has hinted that he will run for a fourth in 2020.

However, a 15ative poll of 1,145 Londoners found that 50 per cent said he should stand down and allow a different Labour candidate to contest the next mayoral election.

Only 24 per cent of Londoners said that they would support Sir Nadig seeking a fourth term, while 21 per cent did not know what he should in.

Even those who voted Labour in 2024 narrowly believed that the mayor should stand down instead of running for a fourth time, he or per cent is 24 per cent.

Shopper banned for wearing backless dress

Postmistress tells woman to cover up the next time she comes into her shop - regardless of the weather

By Radu Cline

A WOMAN has claimed a postmistress told the crackless dress was inappropriate to wear in her shop.

She revealed in a pool on 3, that she was warned to make sure she 'covered up' next time she visited the communist store.

The woman, whose name is believed to be Lily, said she was directed to a note (aged to the store's window, which read: 'We do understand it is very hot. But I think there is a conspicuous store of food and Post Office, we can't allow to plan, backless or just with her or too much exposure. Please wear a top before coming in. Thank you for your cooperation.'

The Post Office confirmed it had spoken to the postmistress and said she had taken her home. She is about to the store has not been revealed.

Lily, who posted a photograph of the dress alongside an image of the note,

said: 'I was just told by Post Office staff that my outfit was inappropriate and that, in order, I cannot wear 'backless clothing' inside the store and should make sure I'm 'covered up.'

'I was also directed to the note supposedly from store management.'

'In the height of summer, I really don't think there is a particularly scandalous outfit.'

A sort of B, commented: 'There is nothing remotely inappropriate about this outfit, particularly in the height of summer.'

'Businesses shouldn't be policing (remotely clothing like this. Common sense needs to prevail,' while another user said it was 'telly about.'

The Post Office said it was investigating the woman's complaint about the advertisement, which took place on Monday, but did not confirm what took place.

Lily was contacted by the Post Office to investigate the matter within two hours of the post, but said she had not received a response to her email to thank by Tuesday evening.

A Post Office spokesman said: 'We want all of our customers to have a positive experience when visiting a Post Office. In this instance, the beach and

Lily posted the Post Office's note and a picture of the backless dress

shop is owned by an independent postmaster.

'She has requested that all customers adhere to a set of clothing standards that is respectful of this space being a convenience store and Post Office and

that all customers can feel comfortable when going about buying their groceries or using our services.'

'We have spoken to the postmistress and she has said that the note has been taken down for now.' The Post Office

'Businesses shouldn't be policing women's clothing like this. Common sense needs to prevail'

does not plan to take further action regarding postmaster control over their premises. The Telegraph understands.

Most Post Office branches are operated at private properties and are legally permitted to release under board no what a property meeting, provided the dress code does not discriminate against protected characteristics under the Equality Act.

Customers have recently been bathing against the former British summer since 1870.

Several shops have been pictured with signs asking customers to cover up billed tops or bare clients before entering the outlet.

In Europe, a growing number of stores have introduced seasonal bans on going to plow its public.

Several municipalities in France have introduced Bans for public distributors, wearing a billed or walking handset.

You swines! Village vandals decapitate Peppa Pig

VANZALA have stolen the head of a Peppa Pig-shaped hedge.

Bi-swines were left 'distraved' after the 18^{th} all sculpture near the village of Newton Purwalt, Oxfordshire, was found with in-house hunched between Aug 6 and 10.

Laura Hinton, whose family built and maintained the topsure for years, said the damage across four separate stumps appeared to have been deliberate.

She said the Peppa Pig hedge had become a well-known local landmark and had required years of care.

'It has taken years to grow. This was distressing not only because of the nature of the vandalism but also the time, effort and dedication toquity taken,' she added.

Mr Hinton revealed Peppa Pig's head was not found at the scene, meaning vandals had probably stolen it.

'Peppa was loved by the locals and by visitors alike,' she said. 'The head they cut all was not left at the scene. They must have taken it with them. They must have also brought their own use.'

'This was a targeted act of vandalism that also suggests a level of concern for personal safety, as someone was around the property with a saw.'

Thomas Valley Police is appealing for anyone with information to come forward. A spokesman said: 'We would ask anyone with information, dash cam or CCTV footage to contact the force.'

The vandalism comes weeks after residents in Hampshire were a battle to stop a retirement park ripping up their treasured hedge alongside Sobrat Grange in Milford-on-Sea. Regency Grange, which team the nine-years-old, decided to keep the hedge a petition game/dmore than 1,300 signatures.

Labour's family farm tax threatens to scupper reservoir push

By Patrick Galbraith ENVIRONMENT COMMISSIONIST

A PCCB to build more reservoirs to build water during an index being understated by Labour's family farmers.

Farmers face costly inheritance tax bills if their agriculture businesses are worth more than £2.5m. Building exposures now reservoirs - which can be used to make them the pushing many doors this threshold.

The reduces the incentive to install fresh irrigation systems, according to rural landowners, despite the Govern-

ment's drive to improve Britain's resilience to drought.

Andy Burnham pledged £25m from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs last week to help farmers build more reservoirs.

However, Gavin Lane, the president of the Country Land & Business Group, which represents landowners, said: 'You can't do things like build more tools with the family farm tax hanging over your head. You're talking about our reservoir taking up the whole of your farm tax allowance.'

'Give Bailey, a farmer in Stafford-

shire, said: 'In building a reservoir, you're just creating a future tax bill for the next generation because you've increased your capital wealth.'

'Any farmer building a reservoir isn't just storing water, they are storing a tin bill.'

The concerns came at the end of the worst harvest since records began in 1984 after scouring temperatures and the businesses left farmers struggling to grow summer crops.

Bailey, sats and oilseed rape racks are projected to come to just 18.5 million tons this year, while potatoes and tar-

Farmers need to build reservoirs as a source of water for irrigation during the summer months. It is particularly important as it reduces the need for abstraction from rivers, which can lower water levels and harm the river

flow and aquatic species. While it is generally vegetable growers that are gins using water from reservoirs, cereal farmers can also use water in dry conditions.

The last harvest, used last number, budget in 2020 to introduce a threshold of £5m on agricultural assets before inheritance tax is listed in.

Labour later raised the threshold to £2.5m after months of tractor persons outside Parliament.

Vicki Afton, the shadow environment secretary, claimed the Government's policy was effectively punishing

farmers for investing in water supplies. 'Has said: 'Labour's family farm tax is coming home to town. It wants farmers to build more on farm reservoirs yet its death tax penalizes those wanting to invest investment water supplies.'

A government spokesman said: 'We are acting now to support farmers with more money into farm support, £10m to build on farm reservoirs, and cannot access to water where it is scarce.'

'We'll keep listening to farmers to help them boost their long-term resilience and give them the confidence to invest in their businesses.'

As the urging of his sister-in-law, Iman Maxwell Martin, John posed as his brother to gain access to police FBI and want it for the first-time disappearance.

Girls GCSE lead over boys lowest on record

Mental health problems and shift from modular systems blamed for narrowing of the gap

By Albert Tait and Ollie Coyle

THE traditional girls' lead over boys in achieving the top GCSE grades has narrowed to its smallest on record.

The proportion of boys achieving a grade 7 or above rose from 18.4 per cent in 2022 to 10.6 per cent this year - their best performance since 2018, including the pandemic-affected years.

Meanwhile, girls' share declined from 24.5 per cent to 24.4 per cent, their lowest since 2020, meaning the gap is at a record low for the second year running, down to 4.4 percentage points.

Across the board, the proportion of GCSE entries exceeded its grades in the UK has risen slightly to 22 per cent, up from 21.9 per cent in 2022.

However, the pass rate - grade 4 or above - for English and maths has declined for the fifth consecutive year since the pandemic, dragged down by record numbers falling their roots.

Female pupils have historically outperformed boys in achieving both top GCSE grades after playing grades, with experts believing they were more suited to multiple exams, which involve splitting courses into separate units and sitting on room at the end of each year.

However, the placing out of modules from 2012 for linear exams - where all papers are taken at the end of the two-year programme - are the gender gap largely stabilise in the years leading up to the pandemic and start to decrease.

When it was deemed impossible to hold examinations during the pandemic, the subject of switch to teacher assessment took the gap in top grades to new heights, reaching eight percentage points in 2020 and nine in 2022.

Since then, however, girls' share of top grades has fallen for five consecutive years, whereas boys have improved their share in 2021 and 2020.

This means the gender gap for top grades has now reached just 4.4 points, marking the first time a blackman below 5 points on records going back to 2011.

The gender gap for passing grades has also fallen slightly from 6.2 points in 2023 to 5.8 in 2020.

It emerged last week that a similar trend to present for 3 levels, where boys have now opened up a record lead in achieving top grades. The current has been linked to girls' worsening mental health since the pandemic.

A Telegraph analysis of Department for Education data revealed last week the girls' absence was increased by 6 per cent from the 2019-20 academic year to 2022-26. In comparison, the rate for boys increased by 28.9 per cent.

Another reason for the declining gap is that boys' share of top grades has improved more than girls in the most popular subjects.

In standard science - the most popular subject with just over a million entries - boys improved their top grade share from 4.6 per cent to 8.8 per cent while the girls' share increased slightly from 10.6 per cent to 10 per cent.

The next most subscribed subject was maths more than 912,000 entries, with boys improving their top grade

share by 6.2 points, whereas girls rose 12.2 points.

Experts though remain concerned about boys' power performance.

Prof Alan Imdbow, of the University of Buckingham, has questioned whether girls might have an "inherent advantage" at GCSE and called for the gap to be investigated.

With the number of sitting candidates in the UK up by 8.6 per cent this summer, it means the overall number of candidates receiving top maths rose by more than 85,000.

The proportion of entries getting at least a 4 or 4" grade - considered a "standard pace" - has fallen from 57.4 per cent in 2022 to 67.1 per cent this year - a drop of 0.1 percentage points.

Input to the 20th, the 2nd and 3rd English language is down from 0.012 per cent to 61 per cent and maths from 24.2 per

Labour wants to lower expectations and cosy up to teacher unions

Nick Gibb

YESTERDAY, 6/10/2020 (21:30) It's your side to the next floor GCSE results, an important mix of passage providing the boys to the next stage of their education, whether purely academic schools, a technical, interactive or an open-technical.

GCSEs also tell you a huge amount about the variability in the quality of our schools. Naturally 32 per cent of all GCSE grades awarded were 7.5 or 8.5s of money back in the UK, 9.5 of a Afrikaans Academy in Canterbury.

West London, where 57 per cent of students eligible for free school meals, 54 per cent of the grades were 7-9. There are similar results at Mercia School in Sheffield (53 per cent) and West London Free School (37 per cent) at Michaels Community School in Brent, where nearly 90 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, 62 per cent of their GCSE grades this year were 7-9.

At this time of this year, we invariably hear the argument that GCSEs are out of date and that the accumulation of knowledge in unnecessary because everything can be looked up on the internet via when these arguments were made in the middle of the last century, an

Education Secretary is listening to the critics and moving away from rigour

ency-to-pacific in the age of all those critics say what matters are broader than the social, social, and economic solving and critical thinking. But what cognitive science will us in that these higher-order thinking skills only come from deep and loose knowledge, not one-under-very-issue.

And yet all the signs are that the folks who live or stay, and like her predecessor, is listening to the critics and moving away from rigour. This week Lucy Powell said that she wanted to send mandatory GCSE English and maths window for students studying for Education at all the schools. Today who had failed to achieve at least a standard pass grade is at school. That policy, who followed Govt and Justicehood, has resulted in 15,000 T and 16-year-olds average 1.0 per cent over with myself and 16-18 years old. It is also a good way to be sure they had continued to study English and maths and had achieved at least a grade 8.

The majority of young people are capable of achieving such results provided they are properly taught. At Ark Soane, which equalled in 2022 with a single year giving 0.01 and 0.2 year olds, students at each GCSE are the first time this year. Ninety per cent

achieved a grade six English and maths is required for 87 per cent nationally. At Michaels, another free school which started with a single year giving in 2016, 10 per cent did. If those schools can achieve those standards, why can't all a model? The answer lies in how and what they teach.

All the schools mention above - Ark Soane, Mercia School, West London Free School and Michaels - are "free schools". They were established either by teachers or by groups of existing schools known as Multi-Academy Trusts and have used their autonomy and freedom from local authority control to establish high expectations for their pupils. They have an academic curriculum that is knowledge-rich and explicitly taught rather than through pre-pension methods such as "imply learning". They have strong help to social policies known as "warm struts" - supportive teachers for who do most strongly behaviour, focus, and hard work.

Free schools like these dominate the top of the school league table. There are now 630 such schools (out of 21,000) in England but they provide examples of best practice and high standards and point the way to keep up

and just make complex where I spoke. English just came after that."

Elizabeth, 16, who has in Horsfield, West Sussex, added 7-9th to out of place when I turned in England and now I am so happy with today's results.

"I have gone from knowing on English sounds to me, planning to study for Schools and go to our here."

cent to 17.2 per cent. Those pass rates for core subjects are being dragged down by older students falling their roots at record levels.

Lucy Powell, the Education Secretary, has pledged an overhaul, claiming the current system condemns young people to a "treadmill of failure." Those who receive a grade 3 or below will be encouraged to take other qualifications to show their English and maths skills to employers, it was reported.

The gap in top grades between best performance, higher London and word - the North East - has widened to a record high of 0.9 points, up from 10.6.

Lee Elliot Major, professor of social mobility at Surrey University, said "It is a planning initiative for 1.2 per century Britain that where you happen to grow up but such a profound impact on your educational and life chances."

Free schools dominate the top of the school league table

the momentum of reform that led to England's improved performance in international league table is educational attainment. If I were in Lucy Powell's shoes, I'd be meaning that those schools who followed, the school inspectorates, show to be community failing follow the model while giving successful schools more intricately to grow and expand.

Sadly, the current Government has put a major step more free schools and is tingling away at the autonomy. Rather than pruning their success, every promotion must be Labour's Education Secretary, and the predecessor has been about lowering expectations and coming up to the teacher unions. If only Lucy Powell would visit Ark Soane, Michaels (which her predecessor refused to do), or any of these outstanding free schools, she would see what can be achieved and how high expectations, a strong academic curriculum and exemplary pupils behaviour can transform the lives of children from the poorest and most disadvantaged backgrounds.

Dr No: Statue of Connery risks ban by council

Tribute to late Bond actor in doubt after moratorium called on new artworks at Edinburgh city gardens

By Jacob Proschland

AS JAMES BOND: Sean Connery foiled Blodol's schemes, rampanked Oddjeb and outwitted Goldfinger but it seems the best has finally not learned in the form of the City of Edinburgh council. The Sean Connery Foundation (SCF) contacted the council's public art panel about the possibility of installing a memorial for the late actor at Princes Street Gardens.

But last week, the authority appeared a temporary ban on public art projects at the site in a drive to move new statues away from the city centre.

This will function as a "temporary moratorium" until a "statue and memorialisation plan" and wider Princes Street and Waterley Valley Strategy are signed off.

This will not affect current projects such as a sculpture to commemorate those affected by the infected blood scandal, but could have a rethink of plans for a memorial for Edinburgh-born Connery.

Council documents confirmed that the public art panel received a presentation from the SCF exploring the possibility of an installation before the moratorium.

Princes Street Gardens has 21 statues and monuments in the gardens with another two on the way.

The concourse

Connery is his defining role of James Bond

tion of memorials and statues in the centre has led to concerns that public art installations should be spread more evenly around the city.

In a report for the culture and communities committee last Thursday, council officers said: "There is a heavy concentration of monuments and memorials in the (Princes Street) gardens, and more proposals being received on an ongoing basis.

"It is recommended that committee agrees a temporary moratorium on any future requests for locating new public artworks in Princes Street Gardens, and that a statue and memorialisation plan with firm locational criteria to guide any new proposals is developed." Margaret Graham, the convener, said: "I'm quite supportive of having a moratorium to see how much space there is left and how practical it is to continue to put statues just in Princes Street Gardens when we're trying to develop town centres and Edinburgh is expanding. There are so many wonderful paths around the city.

The SCF established through Connery's estate, aims to honour his legacy through hearsening giants on institutions and organisations in the free countries he called home Scotland and The Baleston. The foundation invests primarily in film and golf, with a focus on supporting emerging Scottish talent.

A spokesman for the SCF said: "We are at the earliest stages of an exploration with the Council and other key stakeholders across the city, gathering input and ideas.

No decisions have been taken. The City of Edinburgh council referred the Telegraph to the culture committee's report when approached for comment.

The barn owl, on housed from Army Offshore Racing Team, stayed with the crew for 24 hours after a meeting on the deck of their boat 80 miles off the coast of Newcastle

Army flies in to rescue owl 80 miles off coast

By Ricky Clane

AN ARMY crew rescued a barn owl 80 miles off the coast during a boat race.

The bird, which they called Reg, collapsed on to the boat's deck off the coast of Newcastle on Wednesday.

The owl was given food and a towel bed for the night by the soldiers, who looked after it for 24 hours before a 10-foot crew met the racers off the Norfolk coast and took the bird to shore. The

crew, which is running the Round Britain and Ireland Race, named the determined bird Reg, a na hname traditionally given to soldiers in the regiment, inspired by her refusal to give up.

The owl first appeared at the top of the crew's nest. He tried to land on the boat, the Fujitsu British soldier, several times but kept falling into the sea, until collapsing on to the deck.

"We have an extra crew member for the latter parts of the race. An exhausted

barn owl that we are nursing back to health," Will Saylor, the steamer of Army Offshore Racing Team, reported to officials after the bird's landing.

"It's currently sleeping soundly and recovering," After realising his team should finish with the same number of crew as they started, he added: "Someone is going to have to walk the plank!"

The orders got in touch with the Barn Owl Trust, which contacted Dan Goldsmith, of Marine and Wildlife Rescue.

He told The Telegraph: "Everyone was so amazing - we got a real variety of animal jobs, but this one stands out.

"We were contacted by Barn Owl Trust, who asked if we knew anybody with a boat. I got in touch with Canine Lifeboat - they've helped us out a few times before, mostly real-related - and they said immediately they could help."

The soldiers will continue on to complete the 1,800 nautical mile (2,077 miles) race around Britain and Ireland.

Woman who plotted knife attack on lover hid under bed

By Tom McArdle

A WOMAN who was involved in a knife attack against a former partner was found during under a bed by police.

Body-ways footage showed Leah Campbell-Excellent, of inclined abducts, hiding under a mattress at a property in Mussel Hill, north London.

Campbell-Excellent, 28, who was contracted of previous bodily harm for her role on the assault. In a town on the run for two days before she was found on Jan 20.

Emergency services had been called to a flat in Glasgow on Jan 16, where a 30-year-old man had been stabbed several times by Jawad Nasee.

Nasee, 42, was arrested within four hours of the attack at his home in Mussel Hill, where they received blood-stained injuries, before a man-hunt was launched to find Campbell-Excellent.

The Metropolitan Police said the attack was triggered by a money dispute, as the victim was said to have given Campbell-Excellent thousands of pounds during an apparent relationship.

After a trial at the Old Bailey, Nasee was also contracted of previous bodily harm. The pair were jailed for 10 years.

'She may not have wielded the knife, but she lured the victim into a false sense of security'

Scotland Yard said the victim had given her cash on the day of the attack and, when he demanded it back, an argument broke out.

She returned to the flat to 'make peace' but allowed Nasee to enter the flat and passed into a false knife to attack the victim, the four said.

Oct 7th Stop German Alger said: 'Campbell-Excellent thought that she could dodge justice by hiding under a bed, but our officers were right on her trail.

'This was a savage knife attack by Nasee that left the victim with life-changing injuries.'

She continued 'Less than 48 hours after the attack, officers had pieced together the evidence, touched down the suspects and put them in custody.

'Campbell-Excellent may not have wielded the knife herself, but she lured the victim into a false sense of security and made the attack possible. The workers have signed that for role was every bit as serious.'

The victim was left with life-threatening injuries that required emergency surgery.

A jury found Nasee and Campbell-Excellent not guilty of attempted murder, but guilty of grievous bodily harm.

Tinder swindler claimed he was an elite soldier fighting cancer

By Telegraph Reporter

A TINDER swindler claimed he was a special forces soldier named millionaire cancer patient, a court-honored.

Joseph Gibson, 35, feel that he had seen all of the Special Forces officers, owned luxury racks and cars, and was worth more than £800m.

He was eventually arrested and admitted four counts of fraud, relating to three women and one man, whom he coined out of £800,000 between July 2020 and October 2024. Gibson previously asked a judge at Bristol Crown Court to delay sentencing in his case, claiming he had £400,000 an average to repay his victims after working in the engineering industry in the UK, Bulgaria and Dubai.

Juveniles Gibson, of Rothin, Dentogheline, admitted he had been unable to rape the man and could provide only £10,000 additional thanks to one available. He told Recorder James Crook north that he could save £15,000 per month for compensation and asked for his sentence to be delivered for a further nine months to repay his victims.

However, the judge refused that request and instead jailed Gibson for three years and two months. The judge

also ordered the start of proceedings to recover money gained through his fund.

Joseph Gibson, you are simply a fraudulent. The judge told him: 'It has taken years for you to admit that. Pity those who have had the misfortune to have you come into their lives, grey on their affections, stout their money, steal their goals and fracture their relationships.'

The court heard how Gibson met two of his victims on Tinder and continued one of them they were in a relationship. Gibson told his victims he had cancer, had served in the Special Post Service, had been blown up by an improvised explosive device - with the judge describing those claims as 'total fantasy'.

Police lose migrant who attacked officers

Human for awhile seekers who tried to headbutt and bite female constables during arrest

By Telegraph Reporter

POLR have lost an awhile seeker who attacked the female officers.

Kenson Noel, an illegal immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, assaulted the local army since he never him for another matter at a migrant hotel in Bournemouth, France.

He had headbutt one officer and repeatedly bite both.

The 10-year-old, who has previous convictions for possessing drugs since arresting at the UK in 2018, was due to raped whose despatches in Weymouth over the alleged assault.

But he failed to appear and inquiries

revealed that he no longer lives at the Roundhouse Hotel, which the Home Office meets house asylum seekers. The court found that no one knew his whereabouts and his solicitors had been unable to contact him.

He met the first time Noel has missed court hearings. He went on the run from the Biffey Stockholms barge in 2024 while facing the drug charges.

A trial for assaulting in Dorset Health and Fr Madeleine Duncanson went about in the absence.

Victoria Ball, prosecuting, said officers attended the Roundhouse Hotel on Oct 27 last year to arrest Noel when he became aggressive.

He tried to headbutt Fr Duncanson and then attempted to bite both officers at they struggled to escort him out in Nashville.

When they finally put him in the back of the police van he spat at them. Fr Duncanson told the

'He didn't have a top scare we went to be an士武有 to put on him. Once he was appropriately robbed we went to leave the police.'

'He hanged forward at this point, two other officers asked us to get him upright then we escorted him towards the film.

'He was actively assisted - trying to pull back, he was quite verbal as well, shooting at us.

'When we got to the left he went to butt me and tried to bite my arm, what I believe he would have had had pulled a away in time.

'We explained - don't bite us' and - let us go, you'll not like shoulder to the back so he couldn't bite again. 'As we were going down he tried

to bite my colleague on her fingers and tried to bite me again as well. We then had him being into the corner of the lift to prevent this and if had not hand behind his head it stop him turning.

'We then walked out the front of the head and got Mr Noel into the cell back of the van and before we could close the doors he spat towards both sides.'

Magistrates asked what his English was like until he definitely understood what was happening.

Fr Duncanson said: 'His English was good. We explained multiple times and he was being verbally abusive to us in English. He fully understood what was happening.'

The magistrates found the two officers of assaulting a Fr proved his absence and issued a warrant for his arrest.

A COFFEE have been forced to flatten the house they built instead of a council approved house on the 1st floor.

Jeremy Zielinski and his wife Hanne were forced to care the two voters house at Valentine Stables in Great Almagro. Cumbodigodden, after the council discovered a new house, was closed approximately.

Cumbodigodden district council granted planning to understand the 3 replacement stable block and a specialist 'million sumer' laboratory, with a small upstairs flat linked to the lab one, in 2014.

The two were approved on the front that the property would be for a county-wide business use, with the residents' full list only to be used in connection with the laboratory.

The two were also filing one set to have a reception, office, kitchenette, 'analysm and lecture' lab, processing laboratory and staff changing room on the ground floor.

In his report, Chris Dunn declared there was no lab or business running at the site, nor any evidence to allow there ever was and that the house was a full home, not just a place for a worker's stay.

He also pointed out that the owner had sold their original house on the site and moved into this £1 million house.

THE boss of Travelodge has quit the charge based chain following damaging safety topics that saw women attacked by abusers who were wrongly given the keys to their rooms.

The chain disclosed yesterday that human forewill had left the business. He can boss replaced by Ray Kody, the company's former finance chief, on an international basis.

The forewill is understood to have resupted with immediate effect on Monday after the board concluded she was no longer the right person to lead the business and that fresh leadership was required.

Travelodge gave no reason for her departure, but Stephen Sharrock, for chairman, said: 'This announcement does not change anything about our focus on safety and security.'

'He behalf of the board. I would like to thank it for her dedication to Travelodge over the last 10 years.'

It follows damaging revelations about safety at some of the company's hotels, including one incident in 2022 where a woman staying in Berkshire

was sexually assaulted by a man who claimed to be her partner and was given access to her room.

Her attacker, Brian Smith, was jailed in February for seven and a half years. The hotel later apologise after the 'inappropriate' offer of £70 in compensation to the victim.

Mr Borofell said earlier this year that the last only two cases cause of the attack during Smith's trial in 2024.

In another serious incident, revealed by the BBC last week, a woman said she was attacked by her domestic abuser on October 2023 after reception staff gave him a key. He had told them she was having a seizure.

Travelodge also had to apologize earlier this month after a guest was given a key to the wrong woman and came on fur

US stealth operation to take oil from Hormuz

Fighter jets and helicopters escort tankers in secret operation through strut, hugging the Oman coast

By Lily Shanagher

THEY come out to one in the dead of night, when all is still other than the crashing of the waves.

A cursory of up to 20 tankers protected by fighter jets, helicopters and ships had been burning up to 40 million barrels of oil out of the Gulf such night since May in a secretive US naval operation.

The 10 military has been leading the ships jets and oil of the waterway, but oil is still in the water, although the route which passes Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, the vessels instead dug the northern coast of Oman.

While the oil shipments are nowhere

near pre-war levels, the covert operation, then revealed by Ames, the US newswishdir, has been helping to keep the world's lights on amid the war in Iran and the resulting restrictions on shipping.

About 10 million barrels of oil have been moved each day - around half the volume transported before the start of the 8 air war in February.

Vessels were expected to transport 10 million barrels in just one night this week, one official said. The task force overseeing the mission is being run out of the 10 army headquarters in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

In coordination with regional partners, it creates a light level of ships handling from the Gulf into the Arabian Sea, as well as a list of empty losses and infers making the journey in the other direction to collect more oil.

During the nightly missions, the ships move in two big inbound and outbound lines. Ship operations register the

The secret effort is run in conjunction with the US naval blockade of Far

“We have been controlling the south-ethiane of the 30 jet of Hormuz for two months now. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) can be a nuisance, but they don’t control the attack. We do,” a US official said.

Iran has dominated a stability of the southern hamad, with just a few infant and spotters in small IRGC fast boats.

Most attacks are blind-launched drones and cruise missiles in the general direction of the ships' transit routes. At least 10 ships taking the southern routes have been attacked by Iranmen (the beginning of June, killing two ship workers and injecting 16, according to The Star Star Times.

A ship was struck this week while sailing our Oman, leaving one number dead. the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported on Tuesday, some attacks have also been

thwarted by Washington. Earlier this week, US forces also drove eight Iranian pilot vessels to cruise missiles.

But the protection has come at a cost, using up vital resources to ensure safe passage.

More than 1,000 ships have crossed the small through the new channel, according to UN Central Command.

Yet this remains far below the pre-war traffic levels, where America in resources were not needed to keep global oil supplies moving.

Some larger shipping companies remain deserved by the threat of Iranian bombs, which have also targeted oil and gas facilities in Gulf states.

An even-debatt Donald Trump told Ames on Wednesday that there was 'a tremendous amount of oil coming out of the world'.

But with the US president dominating negotiations with Iran as a “waste of time”, the world can only rely on his hand operations to keep the oil flowing.

Russia strikes children's hospital in assault on Kyiv

By Antonin Langford in Kyiv

A CHILDREN'S hospital was struck during an overnight attack on Kyiv in Russia unleashed dozens of missiles in the Ukrainian capital.

At least 16 people were killed and more than 60 were injured after dozens of missiles and 104 drones were launched by Russia.

Residential buildings, an educational institution and several warehouses were among the buildings damaged in the attack.

The children's hospital in Kyiv's bohemian left district was damaged, but no staff or patients were injured.

The attack began just before midnight local time with cinema warned of incoming missiles only two minutes before more than a dozen equal-micronson nightmares mounted in the capital for a quarter of an hour.

Successive rounds of Kaliliv and Zirovo hyperhomic cruise missiles also targeted the capital and its surrounding regions, followed by people over 10 drones. The air alert was lifted after more than eight and a half hours of bombardment.

A three crossed into Romanian airspace in the early hours yesterday, crashing into an “uninhabited area” located “approximately 10 kilometres east of the city of Izabel,” the Romanian defence ministry wrote in a statement.

As the sun rose, several large plumes of smoke could be seen over the skyline while the air was thick with wind fumes.

Throughout the summer, Russia has pummeled the Ukrainian capital with near-nightly large-scale assaults, often using ballistic missiles to take advantage of new sets on defence.

Kyiv has critically torn stocks of the Patriot interceptor missiles required to down ballistic missiles, despite its efforts to secure either the systems themselves or the licences required to produce them from Washington.

Ukraine, in turn, has sent hundreds of drones on to Russian and almost every night, targeting warehouses belonging to Wildberries, the Russian equivalent of Amazon, and other e-commerce giants as well as oil refineries.

On Wednesday, Vladimir Putin finally acknowledged Kyiv's assault on Wildberries warehouses, which have hit at least 20 facilities across the country in the past month, causing losses of some 24,000 of goods.

“Of course, such attacks have not caused, and could not cause, critical consequences,” he insisted. “However, they do inflict damage. That is obvious

Antelope Roof's running will be able to accommodate China's more advanced fighter aircraft when built

China turns coral reef into island fortress

Images reveal first stage of its largest feature yet in South China Sea – which will concern neighbours

By Allegra Mendelson ANA CORNER/GREEST

JUST nine months ago, Antelope Roof was nothing more than a coral sandbar

in the South China Sea. Nearly two doesn Chinese floodgays moved in soon after.

By March, satellite images showed piers, portrovers, a helipad and a number of buildings, built on sand raised from the seabed sandbed in place by reinforced sea walls.

Now, new images reveal that China has completed the first phase of construction with a runway taking shape, and two concrete plants built to

feed Beijing's unsuitable appetite for expansion. It has done so at lightning pace.

Beijing says this western outpost of the Faiscrel Island archipelago will be used for weather forecasting and scientific research. More likely is that it will become a military base.

According to the Anta Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI), the island-building portion of the project now appears to have been completed,

with Antelope's total landmass measuring 2,458 acres.

This makes it China's largest feature in the South China Sea – surpassing Mischiof Roof at 1,379 acres.

AMTI reported signs of a new landing strip falling from on the island's north-western edge – the only part of the island capable of heating a 10,000-foot runway. That would be enough to accommodate all of China's advanced fighter jets, as well as their nuclear capable 11-6 bombers.

"The area being worked on currently extends 4,300 feet but is clearly a week-to-program," AMTI wrote in account report.

Currently, Beijing has 10,000-foot runways on four other islands in the South China Sea: Woody Island, Mischiof Roof, Sahi Roof and Fiery Cross Roof.

Dumont Symon, a geo-intelligence researcher at AI analysis firm The Intel Lab, reported in early July that Beijing had completed "another construction inference" on Antelope Roof with the completion of a 600-meter quay.

In one of the new satellite images, a Chinese coastguard ship can be soon decked along the new barbers.

Satellite images also show the expansion of the administrative centre of the island, indicating it will likely be a key outpost for China. A new helipad, new buildings and new green space have been built.

AMTI also noted the construction of two new concrete plants along the north-west and southern edges of the lagoon, which are likely temporary facilities to help with the construction.

Located in the disputed Faiscrel Island archipelago about 370 miles from China, Antelope Roof is claimed by Beijing, as well as Vietnam and Taiwan.

China has occupied all the Faiscrels since 1974, when it forced the then South Vietnamese navy out.

The island is strongly ally located. It not only gives Beijing an additional have from which to meet influence in the South China Sea, but Antelope Roof

could be useful in the event of a conflict over Taiwan.

The disputed territories also form part of the first island chain, made up of reefs and larger landowners stretching from the South China Sea to the southern tip of Japan.

Military planners predict this chain could be the key to controlling the Western Pacific in the event of a conflict between Beijing and the US.

"The northern part of the South China Sea would be important in a Taiwan conflict scenario, so Antelope is ideally placed," Ben Lewis, the founder of the open source data platform FLATracker, told Reuters.

Experts previously told The Telegraph that one probable reason for Beijing's expansion of Antelope Roof is to keep a down eye on Vietnam, which has been finally building many of its own new islands. Vietnam also recently assessed a three additional building its largest warship yet, most probably in an attempt to counter China.

Antelope could also help support any bid to China to create so-called banions or personnel ocean areas in

the South China Sea to defend its nuclear-aerosol ballistic missile submarines, said Singapore-based security at help Cullin Koh. Mr Koh said the island build-up, likely to house coronary surveillance equipment, could potentially complicate submarine operations by the US and Vietnam, which are both active in the area. China also continues to spur with the Philippines over disputed islands in the Spratly cluster, which are located farther away from China.

The two countries' coastguards clash more regularly in Chinese vessels attempt to control the waters around disputed lakes and prevent Manila from resupplying troops stationed on territories that Beijing claim.

Antelope Roof can take only expansion project Beijing has under war in the South China Sea. During a year to the disputed waters in April, The Telegraph also observed

construction had begun at Sahi Roof. Two years ago, Beijing also expanded China island in the Faiscrel Island cluster, adding a radar facility that improves China's surveillance capabilities.

Baby remains among 582 bodies

found in mass grave in Sri Lanka

By Samaan Latoof

THE remains of 582 people, including babies and young children, have been uncovered from a mass grave in north- ern Sri Lanka.

The site is linked to allegations that the country's military killed Tamil zeal- kins during the Sri Lankan civil war, which lasted from 1985 to 2009.

In one case, a localities human sled- ton with both hands-bound against its chest was found. Investigators also recovered more than 100 belongings, including a child's toy, a milk bottle, footwear, tangle and other schooling.

Investigators are yet to establish whether any of the 582 bodies belong to people on lists of Sri Lanka's missing people. Identification will require fervour examination and eventually DNA comparisons with relatives to identify the dead. The separation at

Chenmami, near Jaffna, is the largest mass grave investigators in Sri Lanka.

The discovery comes after decades of delays in investigations into suspected mass killings of Tamil minorities.

The site first came under scrutiny in 1998 during the trial of Sewage insurance companies, a Sri Lankan sol- iter, for the rape and murder of an 18-year-old Tamil schoolgirl. He is in prison, facing a death sentence.

He told investigators that between 300 and 400 Tamils who had disap- peared in security forces' custody had been killed and buried at Chenmami.

An excavation in 1999 recovered 15 shelstone. 10 of which a government investigation said showed evidence of assault and murder. The inquiry then stopped for decades.

In February 2020, a group of con- struction workers discovered skeletal remature near a Manila evacuation

ground, prompting the current con- creation. In May, a court ordered a forensic excavation. However, work stopped after funding one out. In April this year, the work resumed after the government allocated 20 million Sri Lankan rupees of £10,000 for its avatime.

Investigators have concurred adults, children and infants lying in clusters and, in some cases, on top of one another. Authorities are yet to establish how the victims died.

During Sri Lankan civil war tens of thousands of people, mostly Tamils, were killed and thousands forcibly disappeared.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a separatist group also known as the Tamil Tigers, fought for an inde- pendent state in the north and out after decades of ethnic tensions. Both the Sri Lankan security forces and the LTTE have been accused of atrocities.

ESTABLISHED 1852

Time for a decision on Harry's security

The surprise decision of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to return to Britain apparently is settle with their children has insisted that the soap opera of their lives continues to infiltrate our public discourse. There will unproved rule, combined with the decision to stop back from Royal duties while retaining their titles, provoked much concern to any and amnesty.

So, too, did the utterance of Harry and Meghan in the review with the chart show foot Oprah Winfrey in which they complained about the perceived injustice allegedly suffered upon them. The Prince's book Space seemed to mark the moment when holdays were burned entirely, prompting his estrangement from both his father and brother, the Prince of Wales.

Gradually, however, Harry has sought to rematch himself in the offseason of his wider family and the nation at large, with recent visits to the UK - including to attend a court hearing for a case he had against the Daily Mail - perhaps prompting the decision to come home.

But we know little else. We are told his children have been sturdied in school for the new term but not where the family will live or be love long. They also have a home in Portugal and will return a knee in Mostovsky, California, that might prove more attractive than a British winter.

For sure, they planne an mystery and might hinge. Whether or not the mission receive the secret of official protection that Harry has long demanded. He sees the Special Brand juvenile security for a dozen politicians, including nine former prime ministers, and asks why he cannot be treated the same way as, say, Lai Truss.

This is a matter for Karen, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, oversees by the Home Office. It has to be received offering automatic protection to Harry on his fleeting visits to the UK but will have to consider this all with the settles here with his family.

Andy Burnham, who seems to have a view on every matter under the sun, was uncharacteristically evident when asked about security arrangements for the honorees' 15's a matter for Harry and for Meghan, and we wish them well in the review that they are making!

Karen may be independent but it is still a space public body and Mr Burnham may well find himself having to explain why Gordon Brown, for instance, can retain security but not the son of the Ring.

Ed's Israelophobia

Ed Miliband seems possessed by a compulsion to prove his traditions to hold the office of Foreign Secretary. Swerat by he refused a statement about Israel that reads like the outcome of a Student Union debate or the act of Early Day Mission that January 1 when might dream of.

Israel's plan to build a settlement at the 42-acre of the West Bank of the West Bank and the collective declares the Foreign Secretary. Benjamin Woolenberg government 'must' halt its plans 'immortality.' Mr Miliband has summoned the Senate charge d'Atliams to the Foreign Office and demanded an immediate reversal: 'Otherwise and have you can imagine how the Israelis must be trembling - he will announce a 'comprehensive set of measures', presumably threatening sanctions.

Little wonder that Suleen's hat, the Israeli foreign minister, denounced this 'patronising' outburst. In truth, the target audience for these words is not the Israeli government but Labour MPs and activists to whom the Foreign Secretary and, dogguably, Andy Burnham seem determined to ponder. Nothing that Mr Miliband says or does will make the slightest difference: he has no power to stop Israel from holding West Bank settlements. But, alas, he does have the power to damage British attention.

In the name of the importance of this country's relationship with Israel? Does he know that Israel is supplying the defence system for the British Army's new Challenger 5 tank, along with the electronic warfare notice for the Royal Navy's warnings, and the outer wings for the KAP's P-52-1 jet? What if Israel were to receive those contracts? Mr Miliband should stop posturing and remaster that his first duty as Foreign Secretary is to the national interest.

Whether the topiary be heading is to view than the sir-amen's falling in hand to say, Micch feeling is invested in Peppa Pig. It would take years for her hand to grow back, and the question might prefer to start again - if Oxfordshire is still a place to raise topiary piglets.

the I share financials in Service. Goodness outrage at the treatment of Afghan women since the Taliban's return to power for years ago (Comment, August 20).

For 20 years we had received the women and girls of Afghanistan a better life. Indeed, the major deaths and serious sufferers by thousands of our lives are perceived poor substance to their progress.

Meanwhile, in 1993, under a Country for the Ludhurs a voluntary programme arising five years saw many good soldiers, sailors

Freedom to play

the During my first year at boarding

time, my parents were someone and I, aged 18, spent my holidays at my

grandmother's cottage.

Each morning I've kept out to play (Letters, August 20) A stalk inside full of water, we bring from the ground to

gale by a piece of string, and a sandwich on a plate would appear on

top of the stone wall at lunchtime. It would create where it was getting dark.

Guidance for migrants

the The fact that the Home Office has had to publish guidance explaining to immigrants which he has been seen as a quarter at the UK and much are not (report, August 20) is an extraordinary admission that the good and intellectual experiment has failed. It debunks the intimate persons that all citizens are not immigrants, and that cultural differences have no bearing on behaviour.

He may has to be told that he and not have sex with children, the question is not whether he has could do guidance but why he was admitted to the first place. He should not be warning freely among the public he should be detained and depended.

The notion that a problem of this magnitude can be mitigated by a time paper developed a group of persons.

The perspective take place. The notion of the levels of ideological dishonest required to avoid confronting the

person. The objective is to be breathtaking, concerns that have been dismissed for years as bigots. Exercise or technique now being tacitly

a time to deal with the Home Office.

Having spent time holding the public that there was nothing to worry about, the Government has hardly expected to issuing instructions to immigrants, explaining things that should never have been explaining.

Oman has had strong links with Syrian going back to our successful military deployment in the 1360th Campaign in the 1870s. Since then, Oman has shown great stability and has been one of our secret allies in a troubled region.

While our family condemning President Trump for his friends, the Government must show full and continued support for Oman.

Tired London may fail to be PM's golden goose

As housing costs and crime erode life in the capital, immigration is an longer masking a growing exodus

DAVID FROST

The Office for National Statistics also says it factored that London's population had failed for the first time in the last 1900s. That's not because nobody wants to come to the capital, but because even more of the people are not in the system. For most of this century, London's population grew primarily on the back of the world, and it was also developed in the world. That several flow more than balance of air, and therefore also concealed the reality that charge and growing number of the existing residents were leaving. But now that immigration is falling that outflow has become properly visible at last.

In 1910 around the 1000 Londoners met left the city. By 2020 that out figure 1.5 million of the rich - with more than 400,000 of total departures. In increasing numbers, people who live in London have for whatever reason, shutter they have had enough of it. That is the result we need to keep our eyes on these trifles and outflow so of course, healthy. People have always left London

much? for London are 'going to work and longer a book! that refers to something the city by the young, the numbers of people from overseas in teaching a tipping point.

In 1918 one in the Londoners were born overseas. By the 2020 census two thirds of one, till this has a cut, not

necessary in crime, but in complexity of life and in difficulty of interactions, in the collapse of well understood

day-to-day conventions, and in the simple fact of a rapidly and

discoveringly changing urban environment. Not everyone stands that the first man is, and they were

increasingly to be thinking of cutting their knees and going.

Yet both Peppins will tell you that Britain's problem is that London is so

extremely small, but yet not very much. The country, while high Rhans officially precludes the gender of its in the

world, the children are more good by boarding, still less by replacing every departing resident with more

a retail than overseas. They remain good because they are safe, nobody

is doing it. But people are not interested in the interests of those who live there.

London remains sick, powerful, and culturally magnetic. But the danger is that its public man must be this

the most important thing to do. The Londoners who are having have perhaps understood the difference between their two things.

Note: That the city's business is London is the most powerful, and the latter capital of past years, and儘级的 business is good, so even though you can't

Trump ready to burn the Internet market sell-off

US treasury secretary says the president is 'user focused' on bringing down the national debt

By New Ping Chum

THE Trump administration has said it is prepared to step up its intervention in the bond and/or other concerns about wearing US debt triggered another global sell-off.

Scott Seward, the US treasury secretary, said the move to double the amount of money available to purchase long-term debt to 5404 122,000 persons could be further increased.

'It could be more than the 5404 persons,' Mr Seward told CBC yesterday. 'We have a big to this, so we'll see.'

Mr Seward's comments from a key investor, changed US bonds in a fresh wave of selling, with traders warning that Donald Trump risked being credibility with the market after America's debt jale now above births overnight.

Yields on 30-year US treasuries rose at high as City scientists, reversing in earlier drop in borrowing costs after the White House said it would pump billions of dollars into the bond market a day earlier.

The rapid pace of the reversal caught many traders by surprise. McAnand EVE says, the chief economic adviser at 3.8(u), said that the 'good and magic' note of the retracement had caught many off-argued.

The price is poor and renewed inflation fears also pushed yields on benchmark 10-year treasuries higher as well as borrowing costs around the world.

This includes in the UK, where yields on 10-year debt climbed to 1.5(u), approaching level next seen since 1936.

Mr Seward's remarks only slightly tempered those investors.

However, he insisted that Mr Trump renounce person about balancing the books, adding that the president was 'user-focused' on bringing debt down. 'The bank is not a luxury and only a Management and Budget (CMB) had identified savings worth, 'served less deed billions of dollars' where money was currently 'being fostered away'.

'Yields don't reflect the underlying fundamentals,' he added. However,

analysis at 19 Morgan said borrowing costs would keep rising unless Mr Trump took concrete steps to reduce the US's borrowings.

Jay Barry, managing director at 19 Morgan, said: 'Absent real fiscal consolidation, we fear the markets will view the action as lacking credibility.'

He added that this could also shake investor confidence in what is still dermed the world's safest asset.

'This could contribute to higher term premiums and yields over time should the treasury become more opportunistic in its approach to debt management and move further away from its regular and predictable issue.'

At a press conference on Wednesday night, Mr Trump insisted that the policies should not worry about increasingly volatile bond markets.

Asked whether America should be worried, Mr Trump said: 'No, I don't think so. Our country is doing so well despite interest rates.'

He reiterated his belief that US nurses can raise had remained 'artificially high' after policyholders at the Federal Reserve relief to hold rates last month.

However, analysts warned that a weaker dollar was all but inevitable at the administration were unwilling to bring down the US's 5404 debt, which could find a fresh wave of inflation rather than malformable loans.

Ed Sutler, a Seattle banker, noted that the US debt jale was already much larger than annual output.

'This will be a growing issue, which will either force the US to tighten fiscal control over the higher borrowing costs of let the dollar weaken,' he said.

Analysis at Jefferson said families would be hit by higher long-term borrowing costs in a more fast could cost the Republican Party even.

Model Rumez, of Jefferson, said that mortgages rates were tied to the 5404-122,000 debt US debt, warning that the Trump administration cannot afford much higher yields going into the long end.

It comes as figures suggest the US's 5404 debt would soon come to let the state month amid surging borrowing costs for the world's largest economy.

US debt interest level at $910bn in the end of last month, according to US treasury data, with $810bn added to the fall in July alone.

'100pc British' baby formula brand uses French milk

By Loria James

A BEST MILLING baby formula brand that boasts about being 'both British' has come under fire for blending its powder with French milk.

French companies like a 'Kendrard supplemental' the '100pc British whole milk' used in its organic ranges with milk from France. Following disruption

in its production have caused by ongoing works at its Lake District factory. 'Customers claimed the recipe change

has resulted in the formula becoming lousy, and it is omitted, with some spring their babies are refusing to feed.

'Competing with food goods such as Danese and Nestle, Kendal Nutrition which produces Kendanal' has built its brand and being found only only milk producer, with its low confidence with Union Flag symbols, polices covers and would be subject to local farmers.

It boasts of its royal connections, personally winning a lawyers award for international trade. It has also been

reported that the Prince and Princess of Wales specifics its follow-on milk when they were wearing Prince Louis.

However, disappointed parents have taken special media to complain about the changes to the organic 'Red infant' follow-on, undermine sales.

One new mother wrote: 'This is said: I show your formula for the main fact that it's British... this was your main selling point too.'

The time containing the new but less bear the Union Flag, with 'UK farms'

written underneath. 'I am containing previous batches and 'UK made'.

'Kendrard said the temporary change would be in place during expansion work at its production site in Kendal.

A company spokesman said: 'Our first priority is always to ensure any family wishing to use Kendanal for their baby can reliably access product, which is why we have scaled up with traded manufacturing partners to maximise out of stock on shelves, which is the last thing are parent needs.'

UK's biggest banks warn Burnham against 'damaging' windfall tax

By Louis Goss

BRITISH'S biggest banks have warned Andy Burnham against other buying a 'damaging' windfall tax on the UK's finance industry.

In a letter yesterday, lobby group UK finance worked the Government that increasing the current levers placed on the sector threatens to undermine Mr Burnham's plan to 'deliver growth in every point of.'

There is fresh speculation that John Hodes, the Chancellor, could launch a fresh raid on bank profits in his market Budget on the UK.

However, UK Finance said that it was 'concerned that increasing taxes

on banks would ultimately risk undermining the core tax base the Government seeks to protect and grow, as well as damaging the UK's international competition now.'

'While fully recognizing the fiscal pressures facing the government, rising what are already high sector-specific taxes would run counter to the wider growth upside,' the letter added.

It follows calls from the Goss's Party for a new 50pc windfall tax on all bank profits of more than £90bn.

The policy is aimed at raising £50bn for the Treasury to lower national insurance costs for small businesses.

Earlier this week, it emerged James Simon, the chief executive of 37 Mor-

gan, had warned Mr Hodes that raising taxes on UK banks could trigger a 50pc move ahead. Mr Simon reportedly told Mr Hodes that higher taxes on banks had contributed to price moving away from the city.

Sir Howard Davies, the former chairman of Survivor, has also contested Mr Burnham against the move, telling The Telegraph last week that new bank loans risked sending banking activities abroad. British banks already pay out of the highest tax rates in the world at nearly 45pc, according to UK Finance.

In Amsterdam, the one is 45pc, while Frankfurt charges 50pc and New York 20pc. The taxes include a 5pc corporation tax surcharge on profits of more

47pc

Tax on paid by British banks. The state of Amsterdam is 42pc, while Frankfurt charges 35pc and New York 25pc

than £100bn, plus a levy on the value of their assets. Germany is planning to lower corporations tax by 5pc each year between 2019 and 2052, which could make Frankfurt more attractive, the letter says.

Banking accounts for more than £1 out of every £25 of the UK's economic output, UK Finance claims: 'It's time

when poor jurisdictions are seeking to improve their competitiveness, it is vital that the UK's approach to both tax and regulatory policy be sure direction, supporting investment and the sector's capacity to finance growth across the economy.' it added.

Shortly after Mr Burnham took up office, Mr Simon warned of 'adverse consequences' were the Government to introduce a new windfall tax on banks. By-potentially, the market of companies from the London stock market is evidence of the harm of high taxes.

Mr Simon said: 'If you have an uncompetitive tax system, capital levers your country, and if capital levers your country, it goes to other

countries. How many companies have defined from London as the last couple of years? I wouldn't want to see that if I was running a country.'

Veterans followed suit soon after, with US Venkatakrishnan, its chief executive, warning that a new bank tax would hurt growth and undermine plans to bolster the economy.

He said lending was vital to sustaining British business investment and captured that higher taxes would run a funds away from the economy.

'(For) every pound of capital that remains in the banking system, we lend about £8 to £10 into the economy,' he said when asked about the possibility of higher taxes on banks.

'Tax on the City' fuelling stock market's death spiral

Stamp duty on shares is costing pensioners billions – and hedge funds almost nothing, writes Tom Saunders

WHEN US hedge fund Elliott Management moved to buy a stake in BP last year, there was more to the purchase than met the cut.

On the face of it, the fund had acquired about $650,000 of BP's publicly traded shares for £5.9bn, but on those level, it emerged that Elliott had in fact bought only about 100 BP shares, worth a mostly £500.

How had Elliott managed to acquire £5.9bn of BP and spend just £300? The answer was most of the shares were bought by an investment bank on their behalf using complex derivatives.

This gave Elliott at official ownership of the BP shares – drastically cutting its tax bill. Buying such a large stake in a F700 100 giant would normally incur a lofty stamp duty tax liability.

But by using a derivatives contract with a bank known as an equity swap, no shares changed hands – meaning Elliott probably paid just £1.00 in stamp duty and saved £14.5m in tax.

Elliott is far from alone in spinning together complex deals to avoid stamp duty, a practice that is entirely legal.

While stamp duty has been billed as a tax on the City, it is almost entirely paid by ordinary pensioners and savers, while the most sophisticated investors employ heavy use of derivatives to avoid it.

According to the London Stock Exchange Group, just 5lps of trades on London markets in the New quarter of the year were subject to stamp duty, while only 5lps of trades paid stamp duty in the same period last year.

The contract between high-selling hedge funds avoiding stamp duty and pensioners having to pay is, for some, another damaging example of how London's stock market has been left to

wither on the vine by the Treasury. Flows in UK stock market funds have been negative for years and in the past 12 months £3.6bn lowest out of funds, according to Calcutta.

Companies are also leaving London at a record rate. Coupled with a sheath of new listings, the centuries-old market is not lying into a death spiral.

Stamp duty has been blamed for fuelling the decline, gunning up the stock market and suppressing liquidity. The tax, charged at 0.5lps, is overseen by the Treasury. It brought in £4.3bn to the exchequer in 2024, up roughly a third from the year before.

Although the Treasury has made some small changes – Rachel Reeves announced last year that stamp duty would be exempt for companies listing on the stock market – the Government has been unwilling to go further.

Without action, many in the City lost stamp duty will further dampen enthusiasm for the stock market, all the while making it more attractive to overseas funds looking to face away the host of Britain's public companies.

Richard Wilson, the boss of Interactive Investor, says: "Stamp duty on shares is a globally uncompetitive international tax that runs the value of UK companies, which is why the good ones who can leave go elsewhere, and the good ones that don't have got bought anyway. To make matters worse, the border is increasingly falls now only on retail investors."

The self-harm is most stark when hedge fund was Elliott's run-icephole tactics to buy shares in British companies and then demand they move abroad. Sparta Capital, another hedge fund, campaigned for years for struggling UK engineering company Wood Group to abandon Britain.

In a nothing letter in 2024, Sparta blamed Wood's struggles on the "apparent indifference" of British public markets. Ultimately, the business succumbed to investor pressure and sold itself to shilps, an engineering firm based in Dubai.

When the takeover was complete, it became apparent Sparta's entire stake in Wood Group had been built through derivatives – meaning it didn't own most of the shares. The hedge fund,

Treasury raises in billions from UK share sales

which was contacted for comment, probably saved hundreds of thousands of pounds on stamp duty during its years-long campaign to drive Wood from London.

From 1 filter, the chief investment officer at Squire Asset Management, says: "Stamp duty reduces the transparency of shareholder requires and the integrity of listed securities.

"The number of UK companies moving I am listings elsewhere, particularly to the UK is another sign of the competitive disadvantage the stamp duty brings."

In many ways, the fact hedge funds can use complex derivatives to reduce stamp duty tax is itself an example of Britain's financial ingenuity.

These 'invasive products generally

work by having an investment bank, probably in Canary Wharf, buying shares on a hedge fund's behalf.

The hedge fund pays the bank a financing cost for doing so. In return, the hedge fund receives the economic return on the shares, including any gains or losses in their value.

However, the key detail that underpins the whole thing is that the bank doesn't pay stamp duty either.

These builds qualify for a "sticker exemption", since they are buying shares on behalf of their client.

If the shares fall in value, the hedge fund owes the bank the loss. If the shares rise in value, the bank pays the hedge fund the corresponding gain, minus the financing cost.

Any investor buying such products

Businesses are fleeing London Stock Exchange

Investors are selling out of British assets

Net flows out of UK-focused funds

does not get voting rights in the shares they hold, but it surely matters. Even a small holding of shares – say Elliott's £500 worth of BP – gives an investor the rights of any other shareholders to attend meetings and vote. It means they can still use their heft to lobby a company's management to change course, as Sparta Capital did, or costal other shareholders to their cause.

The threat they might convert their financial contracts into actual shares also means companies need to take the demands of such investors seriously.

Elliott, which declined to comment has been engineering change in the background at BP for months.

Using a derivative contract rather than buying shares outright requires lessopficient capitalized requires less

public disclosure, but tax efficiency is one of the main selling points. "Each fund is different, but they'li invest in the most economically efficient way.

"They will minimize the amount they put in, and the stamp duty is a factor," says one City lawyer. "If you're taking 1pc in a multibillion-pound company, then half a percent add up."

The Treasury, which was contacted for comment, is straining every sinew to meet daily Burmban's cost of living push. Some say cutting the tax Britons just on shares could be a start.

"At a time when policymakers want more people investing for the long term and more capital-forming into UK companies, stamp duty has the diametrically opposite effect," Wilson says. "It is self-harm. It has to go."

Edinburgh second homes face super-tax

Labour-led council expected to approve contentions 300p/ key after consultation delays

By Simon Johnson

MCCND's home owners in Edinburgh for paying up to £85,000 a year in council on from January

City committee are expected to approve a 'pumitor' 300p+ surcharge to come into force from 2017.

The Labour-led administration briefly introduced the super-tax for right days in April, before responding it

following legal advice. The council said the key needed 'further work' including reorganization of 2020-2030 workers, and 'company consideration'.

The council's more premiums is added on top of the standard council tax bill. Proportions on the top line will normally face a £3,395.83 fine remaining the 300p+ surcharge would take the totality £31,935.28.

A public committee was launched in May, which stated that the premium was expected to come into effect that October. However, a report is council has proposed the implementation date to be diluted to take account of criticism from second-home owners that they had had to offer time to prepare.

The documents stated that the council also estimated at had lost £2m in revenue by instigating the premium and their cancelling it.

The report also said a January start date would 'provide additional time for those households affected by the change to consider and initiate appropriate instigating actions as advance of the introduction of the increased premium'. The recommendations of this word on at a full council meeting on Thursday next week.

Officials claim the surcharge will improve the supply of affordable housing and could 'reduce upward pressure on house prices and costs'.

Edinburgh became the first Scottish

city to declare a 'focusing emergency' in November 2020 and is also shortage of homes at the city. There is no doubt that the council believes in Edinburgh.

The council report said 40pc of

'I was born in Edinburgh, attended school and university there... and now I'm being hounded out'

respondents to the consultation said the super-tax would hit their disposable income, forcing them to cut back on essential costs.

Being Campbell, a second home

owner whose primary condoms is in the kitchen, said the was appalled at the change. 'I was born and brought up in Edinburgh, attended school and university there, and now I'm being hounded out,' she told The Scotsman.

Another second home owner, who was born in the Scotsman, said 'I live between Norway and Edinburgh and regularly use my home in Scotland.

'It is furnished, maintained and actively used. Labour-led tradespeople for maintenance and improvements and conditions to the local economy.

'We what exactly is the recessive premium intended to achieve in my case'.

The council report, written by Riche and Lloyd-Ettlieb, service director of

finance and procurement, 'recommends that members proceed with implementation of the 300p+ site'.

Officials estimate the move would increase overall tax revenue by £2.7m in 2020-21.

The report said: 'The premium increase was described as punitive and respondents felt they were being treated unfairly.

'Some questioned the democratic process of charging owners an additional premium when they have no right to vote in local elections. Others highlighted that the increase could create financial hardship for people, especially those in receipt of pensions or suffering from health conditions.'

Shopping centres face £350,000 energy bill shock from Iran war

By Tom Wallace

SHOPPING centres and swimming pools are a moving 'thousands of businesses' being a £350,000 energy shock from the Iran war, according to Council thought.

In new estimates, the energy consults a net and that large power centres, small parks and small factories have used their energy bills (see by around 32pc more the credit) for the rest in February.

For a site of that size, the increase would push their annual electricity bill

up by around £526,000 to an average of £958,100. The same is a time could also expect the gas bill to jump by £210,000 to £3.5bn. This represents a combined increase of £256,500, with costs likely to be passed on to households.

The energy shock risks piling more pressure on the economy by entering inflation from. Subspraying the Prime Minister's early Resolution hopes of building the cost of living.

The situation also risks swimming in the war drags on 100 was built up to 100. A barred yesterday amid the conditions

Careful £54,000 Briggs said: 'We top of rising wholesale prices, businesses are also seeing increases in other parts of the bill to pay for network upgrades and balancing costs. While there are necessary to support the energy transition, unlike households, the support available is highly targeted to a lot of businesses will struggle with the risks.' Sir Kent Stuckey's government

announced relief on some costs for the most energy intensive businesses while Mr. Burcham has said he will remove the 'pay' bill' charged on households' electricity bills this winter.

The warning on rising bills came as a growing share of manufacturers reported plans to raise prices in the coming months.

A survey from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) found 30pc of factory houses reported to raise prices in the next quarter, with just 8pc set to cut costs for customers. Cameron

Martin, an economist at the CBI, urged Mr. Burcham and John Bladley, the Chancellor, to avoid adding more costs to October's Budget.

'The Government should see the Budget to build on efforts to restore competitiveness - delivering the British industrial competitiveness scheme while going further to support trimmings in the UK businessmen,' he said. Meanwhile, the Food and Drink Institute said 40pc of companies reported a deterioration in business conditions

since Labour's election, in 2024. This has already pushed a number of high-profile companies to the brink.

Harvey Nichols mostly became the latest victim before Francis Group bought the department store out of administration for £40m.

Evergrande's billionaire founder gets life in prison for bribery, fraud and embezzlement

By Pat Gunn Man

THE FOUNDER of failed Chinese security plans Evergrande has been conducted to life in prison from 1000 to business collapse for bed the country's housing market.

A court in Shenzhen ruled that En Yan, one senior officer man with a fortune of £500 accustomed to bribery, has committed 'multiple crimes' including bribery, fraud and embezzlement.

Judges ordered large social assets be seized, while Evergrande itself was fined around £1.75bn for crime was held in Building records and hiding debt.

More than 20 officers linked to the firm, including Bibi's son, Xu Zhi Bai and Su Yong He, were also sentenced.

From states and this, who pleaded guilty in April, was the power behind Evergrande and had broken the law by inflating the company's assets and hiding in debts between 2008 and 2021.

It made a dramatic run and fell for a man who grew up in poverty in China's three provinces. The use of a woodcut of 1,000 people and a job in the steel industry in 1992 for a cause of property development, including Evergrande in

1996. At its peak, his company held a stock market valuation of more than £7700 with some than 2,000 develop assets across some 200 cities while moving into football and electric cars.

However, much of its rapid expansion was induced with borrowed money. When Beijing tightened rules on property trading in 2020, Evergrande's access to credit 30crd up. The business offended proportion of both discounts

in an effort to pay off its debts, but defaulted on its loans in 2021. It has since been breakeven liquidation.

As one of China's biggest property companies, Evergrande's collapse was widely blamed for triggering a change in the country's housing market. In April, a Shanghai court heard Evergrande's quiet millions from a police who had paid in advance to buy new homes to bankroll other construction projects.

UK's biggest recruiter Hays sinks to its first loss since 2003 as the jobs market collapses

By Eleanor Harmsworth

BRITAIN's biggest recruiter reported its first loss in more than ten decades as losses warped of an unprecedented job market collapse.

'We've been through downturns before but this time is different.' Hays said in in annual results. 'Our work has changed, and the poor and sick of that change has never been greater.'

Recruiters suffered as clients turned to it to spend up the hiring process, taking on work that would have once been carried out by name of people.

Not here in Hays UK business dropped by 10pc to £27mn, the business reported, while the company also cut the number of recruitment consultants in the region by 10pc.

Hays said its profits for the year had been hit by millions of pounds in restructuring charges as it sought to

overload its operations. Globally, it was recruitment consultant numbers from 6,073 to 5,198 people, a 14pc reduction. It previously employed more than 15,000 people during the pandemic, and a hiring boom.

Some companies have also sought to use AI to boost productivity rather than take on more staff.

Labour has also overseen an increase in employees' financial insurance could be a good product through reforms to workers' rights, undermining the opposite for hiring. Rupees from

the office for National Statistics (NNS) released earlier this week revealed that job vacancies had fallen to their lowest level in five years in the May to July period - dropping to 707,000 open positions.

Youngstropper announced since at 4.9pc in the three months to June, while the number of payrolls dropped was fell by 11,000, according to the NHS.

Mark Crouch, at analysis at eToro, said 'Permanent hiring remains weak as companies breathe over adding staff from uncertain economic environment, while the lack of any meaningful improvement in July and August suggests a broader recovery year to arrive.'

Hays at Hays fell by 1pc. Private sector wage growth also slowed to 2.9pc in the three months to June. An behind public sector workers' 6.1pc increase. Economists said that the sluggish jobs market had been driven by tax rates on businesses and inflation leading increases in the minimum wage under Labour.

Highly participatory and energy bills, a weak job market and rising mortgage costs are all draining confidence and spending power from the economy.

US government now as risky as AI for investors

JEREMY WARNER

Bond market rout shows that markets are losing confidence in countries' ability to repay their debts

SEMIALL change in financial markets doesn't come much longer than what's going on in the moment. For nearly four decades from the early 1990s onwards, nominal interest rates globally were on a steadily declining trend, helping to promote massive growth in debt, leverage both by governments and more widely in corporate and household credit markets.

The veracity, this should have been brought to one point: the global financial crisis of 2019-20, but it appears to avoid a impact of the mass inquisitions of the trend. Impressive, policymakers doubled down on the low interest rate on investment by cutting official interest rates all the way to zero, and its outer cases, lower debt and longer inventory.

Central banks also flooded the markets with liquidity by largely expanding their balance sheets, stoning on problems for the future that only now are coming home to event.

It was but while it lasted, but the tables were stressed by the past pandemic surge in inflation, and nominal rates have been rising ever since. Hopes that we might soon return to the old normal of cheap

money have been repeatedly dashed. Never mind the productivity miracle promised by AI. It's clear that for the moment at least, we have entered another inflationary age.

I'm not going to dwell unduly on the causes beyond pointing out the incorrect obvious - the gathering backlash against globalization and the related outbreak of heightened geopolitical instability.

Both these triggers show every sign of appalling out of control.

The upshot is a bond market rout of epic and global proportions, made all the waves on recent weeks by the inflationary pressures resulting from an inability to resolve the Gulf conflict and reopen the fitout of Romania.

For ever since a good momentum, companies, households and investors, there's little pressure of shift in any immediate future.

But here I want to focus not on much of the causes of the normal but on what, is my mind, is one of its woodyest manufacturers.

As bond yields me, the so-called 'reverse yield gap' has also switched through all, such that if the growers really decide flight. Nearly four percentage points now support the yield so benefits it 10 year US Treasurers from that on the Half 100 equity index. The position in the UK isn't quite as extreme, but the trend is similar.

The 'equity risk premium' - the greater financial return investors demand for holding equities over 'risk-free' government bonds - tells the same story.

Today it stands at its lowest level since the debt on bubble of

'It is rare for equity and bond prices to disconnect as markedly as they have'

1999-2000, and in recent days has all but disappeared.

This tells us two things, both of them equally worrying, the is that investors have stopped regarding government debt as 'risk-free', the other is that notwithstanding all the excitement around AI - or perhaps because of it - equities are, by historic standards, dangerously overvalued and are potentially failing for an exceptionally ugly fall. Inflation fears are rising on the one hand even as equity valuations have been stretched to breaking point on the other.

It is rare for equity and bond prices to disconnect as markedly as they have. Normally the two more in tandem, the one dragging the other along shapely.

That said, developed decoupling doesn't necessarily passage a stock market crash or fiscal crisis to come.

The evolving yield gap can reasonably be explained simply by changed inflationary expectations. This in turn demands a higher interest rate.

And while the safe-haven attributes of bonds are undermined by persistently elevated inflation, equities are to come extent improved by it. Corporations can always raise their prices to safeguard profits and dividends with bonds, the rate of discount and the value at maturity is fixed, and is therefore easily on death's inflation.

Investors haven't entirely abandoned bond markets. Instead, they have focused their testing on much shorter maturities than usual. Why take the inflationary risk of buying 10-year Treasuries at 4.7 per when you can park the money in much

shorter-dated securities - pretty much cash, in other words - for not much loss!

In any case, governments are finding it much more difficult to borrow longer-dated money. Mortgages and other forms of credit generated longer-dated bonds have not only become a lot more expensive.

Government is an also having to compete with a relatively new type of borrower - the market leaders in AI infrastructure.

Such is the demand from those modern-day institutions for capital that once attendant cash flows from existing business models are no longer enough. They must tap credit markets as well.

I still struggle to see how this boom in computing power is going to be more free if in a way that justifies the amounts being spent on it.

In this regard, the AI bubble follows the same pattern in agreement, technology's founded market.

The cash to interest means consumers end up with a sharp new infrastructure that improves the cost of loan standards, but along the way many investors have their debts.

Be that as it says, for now the hyperscore are not only crowding out other industries from credit markets, but governments too. Such is their appetite that they've even been tapping US debt markets.

What's more, the supposed disinflationary attributes of AI - which might at some stage ease the pressures on government borrowing costs - have yet to show their face in any meaningful way.

Despite this notable lack-of-real economy impact - thus far at least -

'Hopes that we might soon return to the old normal of cheap money have been repeatedly dashed'

apprent for capital remains unchanged, with breaking all players beginning to top equity investors with the same vigour as credit markets.

With inflationary foresight, Elon Musk was first out of the traps by looking at 50m 25-50m above equity via the initial public offering (IPO of SpaceX, It wasn't by chance he became the world's richest man.

However, the owner of Google, has similarly already raised the majority of tightened $500m in some equity capital, and Oracle plans $60m of combined debt and equity over the coming year. Further testing the capacity of equity markets to absorb these vast expenditures are planned (IPO for both Anthropic and OpenAI).

At all every confusing, which is the least risk factor for your capital - the US government with the plan deficits to fund at far as the one can see, or the unproven outrage power of OpenAI!

For now, the market make no doings just at all. I'd be running surprised for the same level of risk as the 'cut them on a wing and a prayer' hopeful of explosive data centre investment.

Such market investors have already paid the price for the excesses of the past 10 years. Based just before the inflation shock of the poor pandemic world took hold, investors in the ultra-long and low 5pc 2000 US, get have so far lost 10pc of their money. If you can hold us to materially, you'll eventually get your money back, but even if still alive by then, it will be worth only a 3d time it won't you put in after taking an ounce of inflation.

As for the inevitable stock market reckoning, that's a spectacle yet to come.

Labour's Left are scrambling to save net zero, the PM should ignore them

BEN MARLOW

Zealots want Burnham to believe abandoning eco policy would be politically raptious. Not so, nor the policy

If A3V doubt remained about the ineffectiveness of both Burnham's VAT cut on electricity bills, the latest price cap figures nearly put an end to any such debate.

The Prime Minister's pledge, which came just days after his inauguration, was an attempt to show that the Government under the new leadership was not too about helping struggling households tackle the cost of living.

The temporary tax break was meant to save households an average of £40 a year and 'give families some breathing room on bills and provide some reassurance this winter.' John Bedros, the chancellor, said at the time 'let the

carrying from Burnham's great energy giveaway are not to be completely wiped out by a ripe average increase - equivalent to after his original household - in household bills this October, according to energy research group, Control of Health'.

As for Labour's manliness pledge to bring down energy bills by £20's that is 'in nature.' Richard Fox, Reform UK's energy spokesman, claimed - not unreasonably, against the damning breech of the 'unnecessary figures' - mostly on the Left - are desperately scrambling to suit up an energy policy with net zero at its very heart.

This is despite a mounting swell of money's extra cost, a temporary default on a false promise of cheaper energy. The latest scrapped at a loss came in response to analysis showing that the Government's full-throttle dash to build a so-called 'down' electricity grid is achieving the exact opposite of what it claims.

Rather than delivering affordable energy that makes us all overtime, the 'growth' - conducted by Claire Coutinho, the shadow energy secretary, and centre flight think tank

Onewell - shows the opposite: Britain is in fact becoming 'poorer and weaker' as Coutinho points.

Coutinho and Onewell offer a genuinely credible alternative in which the strictly would be nearly 90pc clean by using 'a lot more gas and a lot more nuclear' in her words, but 'usually also' much cheaper.

Private rally, the study next some of Labour's net zero as others into world war, levied backers, a key aide to Coutinho to oppose 'unnecessary parts' Fabulo 8th, claimed on X it didn't add up because the 'modifying extreme natural gas prices are low and stable over the next 25 years, gradually falling over time'.

Yet, there have been 'two gas price shocks at four years, caused by Russia invasion of Ukraine and the disruption of the Stray of Rionian' he said.

Coutinho to ignore to families a 'gothic' 'eau with and brutal' 'It's your own Department's central

forecast,' she pointed out before delivering the mother of all gothicwins. 'There people are also done instead.' Hawk, perhaps, but not unpunished. Labour's energy policy has long

revealed a circus with 80 Milliland in the starting role of manipulation, and enigmatists. Replacing him with Falklandish offers a modern set of reassurance after she suggested the 2010 net zero timetable could be slowed. In contrast, her position was departed with a call for Labour's climate actions to be 'faster, deeper and more wide-ranging'.

What has the Left's net zero and on both is a test in the fear that Burnham

'Britain is blighted by the highest electricity prices in the developed world'

it more inclined to prioritise the cost of living and economic growth over arbitrary clean power facilities, after he removed net zero requirements from public procurement.

The Prime Minister is also expected to approve 'both Sea drilling after promising to adopt a 'pragised' approach to oil and gas exploration. Another 'unintervention is a reminder

of the resistance among some influential Labour figures that net zero represents an up against.

The Prime Minister should ignore the endless catastic phasing of the 'climate enterprise,' 'beignle that number appears to be a fully fledged member of, and focus on the facts, or what Coutinho calls the 'hidden costs of relying on what can't exist.'

They are, after all, possible, paying for back-up power, when the wind stops blowing, subscribing wind farms that have to turn off when it's too windy and the grid can't cope, and the cost of erecting several thousand more prices to transmit the electricity from offshore wind farms in Scotland to the south where it's most needed.

As Onewell points out, Burnham's 10.7 cos is merely a continuation of a long-volatilized big proach that levuts the repugnant net the cause and shifts the richness of 80-city groups.

The 2150 annual Worm Bismov Discount for power households, for example, is slumbling by a 260-levy on household bills. Yet, none of these is driven by the problem - which is that the UK is having to build an expensive underlying system, a wealth it is built to not zero under an entirely self-imposed timeline.

The outcome of this is that Britain is blighted by the highest electricity prices in the devoted gold world, and rather than bills coming down by £30's, as Labour got stated, they've got to go by £100 instead.

What's more, many experts expect them to rise even further over the next

four years because of network upgrade costs and subsidies.

With the case against net zero rapidly mounting, the Left is trying to raise Burnham into 'believing that abandoning net zero would be politically raptious.

The 'growth' - the 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is a 'growth' - is

Labour's return to meanwhile, 'see our planet-burning and our voters get the need to deal with it,' he said. But while it's true that support for net zero has dropped more slowly on the Right, what families us lose forthcoming, about is that it is falling among Labour voters two - just not so sharply.

What is even more dangerousism is the suggestion that an uninteresting report is not zero isn't serious about tackling climate change. As Coutinho points out, it is possible to have cleaner electricity that is also cheaper.

But if we're not sure of using the need for a small, and temporary increase in gas and much more nuclear, rather than doubling down on international wind and solar.

Burnham should ignore the foaming spring.

Prosecut to with a more proportionate and pragmatic alternative that leaves them better, not considerably poorer, I suspect most that clear-minded voters would like his hand off.

Return of the middle-class apprentice

On-the-job training is no longer a career route for disadvantaged students. By Frank Wolfeyes

FRED MCCONNELL (METS) owes his double-funrolled curricula and middle-class upbringing to two graduates - a teacher and a salesperson. But at the outset on his schooling, he enrolled on an apprenticehip rather than going to university.

In his works that followed his decision, he unwittingly developed an image of himself as a "stalkiness". When he met his fellow trainer consultants, however, he was far from the sole middle-class company.

"I must admit, I was surprised by how many went to private and grammar schools," he says.

The idea that apprenticeships are a big way for the disadvantaged has been born out of strength by no course government to cure youth unemployment in post-industrial Britain through a focus on technical skills, which has had mixed success.

Yet for man in British history, apprenticeships were the work route of those for the middle-class. From the 90th century until the 20th century, when university education was popularised, appurtened middle-class students would pay fees to enrol their children as apprentices, explains Prof Parry & Wallis, a historian at the London School of Economics.

Now, amid rising graduate debt and an uncertainty of market, apprenticeships are becoming the focus of middle-class aspirations again.

For the majority of the second half of the last decade, the share of young apprenticeships started by those from the poorest backgrounds was higher than those from the richest, according to data from the Department for Work and Finances (DWF).

However, at the very end of the 2000s and into the early 2010s, the tide started to turn, and the competition of retirement from the wealthiest postcodes began to overtake that of the most deprived. Since 2022, the gap has widened. The data also show that, last year, the wealthiest areas took up the largest share of apprenticeships since comparable records began.

These were 5,370 more apprentices under 20 from the richest postcodes compared with the poorest in

2020-25. This is down in part to how the wealthiest under 20s have opened up a lead against their poorer counterparts in competition to careers in the business, law and administration sectors. Among these "white-collar" industries, apprenticeship start/stry those from the different postcodes in 2020-25 went up by 600 people, acres of 6-tpc compared with 2020-24, while there were 430 fewer white-

collar apprentices from the poorest areas, a drop of 6pc.

This represented the widest year-on-year growth difference between the two groups since the Department for Education started collecting the data. Aired from that AI will aggravate an already stretched graduate job market, apprenticeships which offer a degree and a job are an ever-precious prospect for those who aspire to be young professionals.

This "mix-way" combination led John Patcho cup for an apprenticehip at a global bank where she turned its despite her independent education setting her on course for an elite university. Without the offer of a part-time funded degree at a Russell Group university, the City sales associate says it would have been "a very different conversation" with her parents. Anna Wokh, 20, is a third-year solicitor apprentice at international

law from Fincent Museum in London. She similarly opted against the traditional path into law.

"Both my parents, my step-mans, my grandparents and aunts and uncles went to university. There was an umpulous assumption that I was at too," she says. "University felt like three years of doing the same thing and they were sure represents applications to find your way into the real world of work."

Aderd about the rising wave of student debt she would have had looming over her son after graduate, she says: "I think once all my friends are starting to pay back their loan, that's when I will feel really sings."

A DWF spokesman said: "We are reforming the apprenticeships system to move young people from every postcode outside the long and our wider 25. She youth employment support package includes financial support for care leavers and a new

Where he took office last month, Andy Burcham pledged to reduce the number of 24 to 24-year-olds over classified as "best size" as a short run, single number of training, which surpassed one million in May.

Now then, he has announced that children aged 18 and older who do not aspire to university will be given greater chance to choose technical training rather than academic education. He also said parents on benefits could receive up to £4,000 a year to replace the Universal Credit payments they would lose if their children started an apprenticeship.

"Freelocular, Britain will value the hard hit in much as the graduation cap," he proclaimed, alongside his promise of "growth in every postcode" It would be, increasingly, those in Britain's leafy middle-class schools may agree with him.

Finance watchdog issues warning over loan notes

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has highlighted the risks of investing in loan notes and state bonds issued by unregulated companies.

Loan notes or state bonds usually involve funding money to a company for a net premium return for interest. If that company fails, consumers could lose every penny, the copulator said.

Lucy Cudlocher, FC in director of consumer investments said: "Big third returns are a warning sign, not a guarantee. Loan notes, state bonds and other speculative illiquid securities are not suitable for most people."

JD Sports downgrades outlook for profits

JD Sports has said that consumers being squeezed by cost of hiring pressures has hit its global sales, despite a boost from the demand for football hits.

Sir William Jaffray, Bt

Bon vivant who fought Lloyd's of London after suffering huge losses as an underwriting Name

SIR WILLIAM JAFFRAY, 38, Bt, who has died aged 78, fought a question and said, ultimately unnecessarily legal battle against Lloyd's of London in the hope of re-engaging both losses sustained in an underwriting Name.

When he became a Name in the early 1960s, accepting unlimited liability for risk instead by syndication in the historic City market, he believed he was pruning a "sound, blue-sling institution" which would bring him a clearly income with his advantages. But Lloyd's was robbed with malpractice, favouring a question over "relevant" members such as him, and about to be lair by massive claims relating to asbestosis, heart pains and other disorders to which it had severely inadequate reserves.

Some 34,000 Names would eventually suffer the consequences to the time of £9 billion. the vast majority agreeing to settlement in 1989, but Jaffray had aided groups of 200, called the Council for the Organisation, we seeing the institutions of fraud, while losing more to pay up potentially to the time of £10 million. It is applied and that Jaffray's favourite film was Jaffray's broad against seemingly insuperable forces.

Jaffray claimed that he is short had been recruited as a false prospectus. that Lloyd's was a bankrupt of perfect and predictable, when in 24,520 powers that have been in his hive the catastrophic wake of upgrading American claims and had embarked on an underdevelopment of a flaming new Name to spread future losses.

This year, what he has before Lord James Croomwell's commercial court in July 2010, was one of the largest in English legal organisations, and the most common in 2010, 40,000 documents. Jaffray, appearing as a 10-point in person, characterised Lloyd's overall conduct as "20 years of larceny and deceit" (B. Levison) for three Millions of Dollars, and the most common in 2010, "years of larceny and deceit" (B. Levison) for three Millions of Dollars, and the most common in 2010, "years of larceny and deceit" (B. Levison) for three Millions of Dollars, and the most common in 2010, "years of larceny and deceit" (B. Levison) for three Millions of Dollars, and the most common in 2010, "years of larceny and deceit" (B. Levison)

Jaffray's level of rhetoric was to no avail, however. The judge dismissed the charge of fraudulent representation against Lloyd's and its council. finding that they had not considered the extent of adverse outcomes in personal care or strategy of "recruit in dilute" that he also commensurate to the matter. "Bullish" was not to be seen as the market, particularly among the agents who managed Human accounts.

Jaffray's group would not admit defeat, but the Council agreed without their consent. Jaffray's group was not to be re-entered. "I am very angry," the Internet told the press after the hearing. "It is progressive and extensive." He stated: "Let it be known about that war. Internationalism is about full and proper compensation remains undisputed. Frew can drop that Lloyd's of London in new national degrees, a socio-mathemism which replaced the principle of utmost good faith with another cornerstone in its philosophy, namely the inconsistency of the former investors on the back of oppression and unresectable monetary claims."

A spokesman for Lloyd's responded by advising the "Jaffray Names" to write: "The have had two lengthy and fair hearings and

it is time for them to draw a line." He described his intention to take the underwriters claim to the European Court of Human Rights, but there were no further proceedings. The personal liability included losing from France, the Hampshire manor house he had inherited from his father.

Retail leader: Jaffray outside the High Court seat, below, the Telegraph's report on the seat.

William Odo-Jaffray was born on November 1984, the only son of Sir William Edmund (Bill Jaffray, 40, Bt, TD, JP, H), and his second wife Anne; the divorced wife of Sir John Wessley-Taylor, and the daughter of Captain J Odo-Papel, MC, of Thorpe Faircloth, Lancastershire (a legendary business whose books, Monsters of the Moon and Stowing, Reflections, were republished to the 2004).

The Jaffray were originally from Stirling in Scotland, with Jaffray had moved to Birmingham and been involved in almost

every aspect of Birmingham life—the Edward from hospitals, institutes, libraries, the Birmingham Joint Work (English) (the founding of the JH-wingdom Daily Fair) and the JH-wingdom Daily Mail (B) was created a channel in 1992.

Sir William Jaffray, Dr John J grandson, had been an outstanding professor and a keen chief to beunite in North Western Wales. Despite being lost an arm in the First World War, He died in 1953, so Will seconded shortly before his second birthday.

Young Will was brought up at Prison Press, near Provostall in Hampshire, in a family of three women 2-10 rang character. His Fugst grandmother, a woman he was married, lived in the neighborhood college and hoped for would meet a nice "go" at a large hall. He had a nearby and estate today with his formidable mother who had worked at Birch they; the help the house going for him against all odds but when he came of age, she had to leave, at which point she went to court claiming compensation of £20 billion.

After years of intense litigation, mother and son remained close to him on and Jaffray was her devoted companion when she was in her 30s. She died aged 69. His half-sister, Janette Worden-Taylor, who ran the London Swagart Collection, was not averse to among him (what after).

There was nothing in Jaffray's early life to suggest that he would be such an organised and honest character of Lloyd's. He had passed through three without academic distinction. He had lived many enterprises, including dealing in art, without settling into any fixed career.

In the words of the London film being, he was always seeking that card that was "as

high and wild" that he would never have to deal another. Since he was far in question at least he and his wife, Jaffray, were in his respectations—the chance to meet, beautiful models, profitable in everyone's choice.

As a teenager at Prison Press, his half-sister and/or friends had thought it amusing to suggest that the as past had taken a blimp in him. The teenager, he went up to her room. Their joke mailed when he did not immediately change. His interest in girls was doubtful in the fact made. Also of the 1970s and returned through all subsequent decades, a past in taking man, almost unnoticed in the 1980s, and at least many reserved Englishmen, he was offendingly short. He never promised things ever gooder. When and how he caged with the commercial restrictions of matrimony, he was not ready to see. Why go to the pub for a beer, when champagne is flowing from the the house?

Jaffray was brought up to the house and one of his boys to meet, also paying sign wrigled would have only used hairs in the audience for his food and groceries (augh, which also made him a conspicuous figure in London communion. He had probably made friends, which he totally reciprocated.

As was written of his father, Jaffray showed "unatining friendship, indomitable, lovefulness, and support in light, except for the war she felt in the past. The first word, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past. The first word is a very good, and forever game for adventure, has been written in the past.

While in his dark wake, he rarely saw his friends, but on morning his second wife, Constance Brynne Leblanc, whose he married in 2004, that changed the found himself living in her for equivalent in Eaton Park, London, and anything part of the year with her in front, she even flew his mother to the Caribbean for holidays. They were generous hosts, but they descended in 2008.

In birthing Shrew, he again smulked President Nixon he was not a "guitar" One minute he was of in the first time, in Charing Cross Hospital at the Trunk of South, the next back in his flat and shopping on his own. As recently as the May back in hospital and seemingly no one had been in the New York area, a former lawyer who founded of Fane is, arranging her pre-article book. They had known each other since 2020. He enjoyed the response of one friend. "It was entirely in character that you should get married without your treasure or You are the keeper of the flame." She looked after him in his last day.

He was covered at 6th moment by his son, Nicholas, born in 1992.

Sir William Jaffray, 38, Bt, born November 1 1952, died August 12 2020

Jimmy Kimmer

Goalkeeper who twice won European Cup winner's medals

Despite the investment of the European Cup, the team made the 1st round. But Kimmer was "a good goalkeeper, he's just a good one" he was not more than a reliable mind on a United. He had thirty closing ahead of him, and though losing left in 1960, and wepted a 1st round. Chelsea kept Kimmer mostly in the reserves by played 40 first-time games in 10 years.

In 1993 Kimmer did have a second place in the 1980s. When Will McGuinness, uncovered final win on this season, was to be the first game Cup ever final, which was had 2 1/4 on aggregate to AC Milan. Kimmer kept his place into the new season, but with Cunice in the club, Kimmer and J. Kimmer, the ôngmen back between the years. Kimmer made 28 appearances in the 1970-71 season when they were was out with a side-sidelity injury.

In 1973, Kimmer was sent out on loan to Wessex, where he caught Kimmer's eye, and in the summer - as United were obligated - he played the Guinness for £10 billion.

With the 1973 League and Cup double a rapidly avoiding headway among the Arsenal manager Steve Mee was struggling to stabilize things, and for a couple of seasons Kimmer's career was more powerful in keeping them in the top 10. The war this year, played of the year at 1974-75, and the following season won his sole England cup.

He played only nine minutes in the best European Cup final.

But in 1976 Terry Neill game in over 10 out, 2 firstchats to stopper Mee, and the following summer brought in Pat Jennings from White Hart Lane. Kimmer joined James Villa for a two of £63,000 after 100 games.

They followed the finest spell of his career as the last figure of an James Villa side being home for free. Sometime, in 1980-81 he played all 42 games on Villa took the League title.

Kimmer left the status of the group with the first of the European Cup, in the second round against Dymond. Both his career in late penalty, then made an even better save than he or a gap from Hugh Aiken on 1974. "Oh, you'd just can see how did this start out?"

Kimmer's career were crucial as Dymond. Kier and Janiebottel were disposed of in the quantum and some real time. Kier and Jaffrey's each injury. Tony Barton, who had replaced Sometime, decided to risk him as home mate. In at times, Kier and Jaffrey nine minutes, replaced by Nigel Spink, whose heroics kept Villa in the match.

Kimmer was in town in the Germany town in the club due to, David Targett, moved him, though he was not a real partner in witness Peter Wibler, 67th-minute winner. He became only the second player to win the European Cup with two different clubs, after Karl Malzman, a vector with both Milan side in the 1980s.

Nature Notes

NT river scheme beats the drought

A pioneering scheme to remove a river to a natural state anchoring an beavers to create wetlands shown have landscape can be more resilient to drought, the National Trust and Natural Week of the County's

Ridescrow Estate, in Somerset, reveal how stretches of the river consider and removed wetlands have remained green and back despite the drought gripping southern England this summer. The National Trust and local bequest have benefited from resilient wetlands praising facilities.

Iron Earthly project manager at Ridescrow said: "We grant revenue a system we've drained wetlands, straightened rivers and derived water off the banks and 50% or possible. Here we've covered that approach and the results are remarkable."

To re-enhancing river systems with the surrounding area, we've created a system that shows water during drought," he added.

制度与权力批判深度研判：The Daily Telegraph (2026-08-21)

▌ 本日全报思想与文化深思雷达 (Intellectual & Cultural Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有国际政治、经济、社会与文化报道后，以下 3 个具体事件在制度结构、权力技术与法理合法性层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【萨塞克斯公爵夫妇回归与安保资格争议】 [F2_4, F3_5, F3_6, F16_31, F17_32, F17_33]（版面：主报深度版面/第16-17版）

   • 事件简述：哈里王子与梅根计划带着孩子返回英国，但其安保状态仍是搬迁的关键争议点。首相与安迪·伯纳姆将其定性为“私事”，而国王则明确表示此次搬迁不会改变其非工作皇室成员的身份地位。
   • 制度批判切入点：分析“身份特权”与“行政裁量”的冲突。安保资格从一种基于血缘身份的天然权利，转化为一个被政府定义为“私事”且需由相关机构处理的行政问题，揭示了现代国家如何通过话语重构剥离传统特权。

2. 【住房大臣接受石油顾问捐款争议】 [F6_11, F6_12]（版面：第6版/专业栏目）

   • 事件简述：住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳（Angela Rayner）接受了一家石油顾问团的 2 万英镑捐款。
   • 制度批判切入点：剖析政治资本的“程序合法性”机制。捐款行为在制度框架内通过申报实现合法化，但其背后潜藏的资本利益与公共政策制定者之间的结构性关联，体现了资本逻辑对政治权力的隐形渗透。

3. 【英国对以色列定居点计划的批评与外交反弹】 [F4_7, F4_8]（版面：主报深度版面）

   • 事件简述：以色列方面表示，埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）对西岸计划发表的“傲慢”批评损害了英以关系。
   • 制度批判切入点：探讨国际政治中“外交辞令”如何成为权力博弈的工具，以及主权国家在面对外部制度性批评时，如何通过将对方定性为“傲慢”来维护自身的政治合法性。

▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)

专题一：象征权力的行政化解构：从“身份认同”到“私事化”的权力转移

在哈里王子计划回归英国的制度情境中，一个深刻的结构性矛盾浮现：即传统君主制的“身份逻辑”与现代行政国家的“管理逻辑”之间的碰撞 [F2_4, F17_32]。哈里王子寻求的安保保护在本质上是对其皇室身份认同的延续，但在现代英国的权力运作中，这种请求被迅速地从“身份领域”转移到了“行政领域”。

首先，权力通过“去政治化”的话语技术实施掩盖。首相与安迪·伯纳姆将安保问题定性为“私事” [F3_5, F3_6]。这种修辞策略极其精巧——它一方面将公共资源（纳税人成本）的分配问题私有化，从而规避了关于特权分配的民主问责压力；另一方面，它将一个涉及国家象征秩序的政治问题，降格为一对夫妇的个人生活安排。

其次，这种转变标志着一种权力结构的移交。当国王明确表示，公爵夫妇作为“私人个体及非工作皇室成员”的角色和地位不会有任何改变时 [F2_4 🔍]，这意味着血缘赋予的“天然保护权”已被制度性地否认。在现代国家机器面前，曾经的象征性权力必须接受行政裁量的逻辑。安保不再是身份的附属品，而变成了需要通过特定程序申请的、被政府定义为“私事”的资源。

最后，这种制度设计产生了一种微妙的控制效果。通过将安保问题定义为“私事”并强调其可能给纳税人带来的成本 [F3_5 🔍]，政府在事实上建立了一套基于“成本-效益”的筛选机制。哈里王子的回归不再仅仅是一次家庭和解，而是一次被纳入现代国家行政管理体系的“重新编码”过程。

专题二：资本渗透的程序正义：政治捐款中的“合规掩体”与利益冲突

住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳接受石油顾问团捐款的事件 [F6_11, F6_12]，提供了一个分析资本逻辑如何通过制度漏洞实现对公共权力隐形影响的样本。该事件的核心矛盾在于：一名掌握住房与环境相关权力的政府高官，在财务结构上与石油行业的利益代理人建立了联系。

从权力机制来看，这里运用了典型的“程序合法性”掩体。在现代政治制度中，只要捐款行为符合申报规定，其在法律层面即被视为“合规”。这种“合规”将实质性的利益冲突（Substantive Conflict of Interest）转化为一种形式上的程序正义（Formal Compliance）。只要捐款在法律允许的范围内且经过登记，其背后的政治操纵性就被制度性地消解了。

进一步分析其话语技术，这种制度安排使得政治精英能够维持一种“双轨并行”的生存策略：在公开的政策主张中维持公共利益的合法性，而在私人的财务领域维持与资本的连接。这种分裂揭示了当代政治制度中的一个深层悖论：透明的申报制度在提供监督的同时，也为资本的渗透提供了合法的“通行证”。

这种制度性矛盾导致了公共政策潜在的异化。当政策制定者在财务上与特定行业顾问产生关联时，即便公开政策方向不变，但在执行细节的裁量过程中，资本逻辑可能会通过这种隐形的连接实现其利益最大化。这种权力运作不再通过粗暴的违规交易，而是通过一种“合规的共生关系”，使公共权力在不知不觉中成为了资本逻辑的执行终端。

▌ 面向学者的制度研究开放性追问 (Open Research Horizons)

1. 【关于特权解构的制度研究】：在现代民主国家中，传统象征性权力（如王室）如何通过被定义为“私人个体”而被纳入行政管理体系？这种“私事化”处理是否是现代国家消除特权、实现平权的有效路径，还是另一种形式的权力剥离？
2. 【关于政治资本合规性的批判研究】：当“程序合规”（如财务申报）成为掩盖“实质利益冲突”的标准答案时，我们应如何构建一套新的制度审计机制，以穿透形式上的合法性，揭示资本对公共政策制定者的结构性俘获？

理性与情感辩证深度研判：The Daily Telegraph (2026-08-21)

▌ 本日全报生活世界痛感与情感政治深思雷达 (Lifeworld & Affective Significance Radar)

在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 3 个具体事件在个体生命体验、制度约束与生活世界层面最值得学者进一步深思：

1. 【王室成员的回归与表达禁令】 [F2_4, F16_31, F17_32]（生活领域：家庭与身份）

   • 事件简述：哈里王子与梅根计划带孩子返回英国，其策略明确排除了电视采访，以避免被诱导过度分享。同时，国王明确表示此次搬迁不会改变其非工作皇室成员的身份地位。
   • 情感政治切入点：分析“沉默”如何被作为一种政治筹码用于交换家庭和解。这种以限制个体表达权为前提的回归，揭示了权力系统如何将私人情感的流动（表达、倾诉）定义为对制度稳定性的威胁，从而实施情感规训。

2. 【气候危机下的生活世界崩解】 [F5_10, F10_20, F13_25, F14_27]（生活领域：环境与生存）

   • 事件简述：欧洲多瑙河与埃尔登河因低水位导致游轮旅游受阻，行程缩短并需公路转运；伦敦及怀特岛等地因干旱面临软管禁令及干旱令。
   • 情感政治切入点：探讨自然环境的剧变如何通过技术官僚的“禁令”和“转运”方案，转化为个体的生活焦虑。当“度假”这一典型的中产阶级情感消费被气候现实强行中断，揭示了人类生活世界在生态危机面前的脆弱性。

3. 【边境管控中的暴力与叙事对抗】 [F11_22, F12_23]（生活领域：迁移与安全）

   • 事件简述：大量移民冲上西班牙海滩导致游客惊慌；同时，英国边境安全指挥官通过视频展示法国警员用刀处理漂浮物以驱散移民，旨在反击对法警的批评。
   • 情感政治切入点：分析“坚定”的执法叙事如何通过视觉证据（视频）来合法化暴力。在移民的生存痛感与国家安全逻辑之间，存在着一种深刻的非对称性，即个体的绝望被简化为需要被“处理”的漂浮物。

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)

专题一：权力系统的“情感禁欲”与家庭伦理的异化——基于萨塞克斯夫妇回归的现象学分析

在哈里王子与梅根计划回归英国的叙事中，我们观察到一种极具张力的系统理性模型（Systemic Logos）：王室作为一个高度制度化的权力实体，其运行逻辑基于“形象管理”与“职责界定”。在这种模型中，个体被简化为功能性的角色（工作皇室成员 vs 非工作皇室成员）[F2_4 🔍]。系统理性认为，任何未经审核的私人情感表达（如长篇电视采访）都是对制度稳定性的干扰，因此，回归的策略被设定为“排除电视采访”[F16_31 🔍]。这实际上是一种制度化的“情感禁欲”要求，即要求个体通过阉割其表达欲来换取进入权力核心（家庭）的入场券。

然而，从生活世界的真实痛感（Phenomenological Pathos）来看，哈里与梅根的处境是深刻的身份撕裂。尽管国王对小儿子的回家感到高兴 [F2_4 🔍]，但这种接纳的前提是对方必须接受“身份不会有任何改变”的设定 [F2_4, F17_32]。这意味着，家庭伦理在此时已被制度理性所殖民——爱不再是无条件的接纳，而是一种基于行为规范（不分享、不采访）的“特赦”。

在这种Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦中，我们发现了一种悖论：个体试图通过回归重建血缘联结，但联结的通道却是由技术官僚式的条款（如安保问题的“私事”定性 [F3_5, F3_6]）所构建的。主体间性的达成不再依赖于情感的共鸣，而依赖于对制度边界的精准妥协。

专题二：生态危机中的量化管理与生活世界的失序——基于干旱禁令的批判分析

欧洲河流低水位导致旅游业受损 [F10_20 🔍] 与英国多地实施水资源禁令 [F13_25, F14_27] 的事件，提供了一个剖析技术官僚理性如何应对生态崩溃的样本。

该事件的系统理性模型是典型的资源管理逻辑：当水位低于临界点，触发“行程缩短”或“公路转运” [F10_20 🔍]；当水资源匮乏，触发“软管禁令” [F13_25 🔍]。在官僚系统的算法中，这仅仅是基于数据的响应机制，旨在通过量化限制（禁令、时间缩短）来维持系统最低限度的运转。

然而，对于生活在其中的个体而言，这种理性管理带来了生活世界的失序感。对于度假者，原本预期的情感体验被“公路转运”的碎片化行程所取代；对于伦敦居民，软管禁令持续到年底 [F13_25 🔍] 意味着日常生活的习惯被强制重塑。这种痛感在于，个体发现自己被卷入了一个无法掌控的全球性气候循环中，而制度能提供的唯一方案是“禁令”。

这种辩证摩擦揭示了制度理性与生命体验之间的脱节。系统理性将干旱定义为需要被“遏制”和“滴灌”的技术问题 [F5_10 🔍]，而生活世界感受到的是一种深层的不安全感。当国家机器将生态危机简化为一系列禁令时，它实际上掩盖了危机背后的结构性矛盾，将应对气候变化的压力通过行政手段转嫁给个体的日常生活。

▌ 面向学者的伦理与社会心理开放性追问 (Open Research Horizons)

1. 【关于沉默作为政治资本的社会学研究】：在当代权力结构中，个体的“沉默”与“放弃表达”如何被转化为一种可交易的政治资本？这种以牺牲主体性为代价的“和解”模式，如何影响个体在私人领域与公共领域之间的身份认同？
2. 【关于生态禁令与公民心理的关联】：当技术官僚通过频繁的“禁令”来应对气候危机时，这种管理模式是否会削弱公民对制度的信任，进而将生态焦虑转化为对行政权力的抵触？
