Quade Cooper handed late Rugby World Cup audition – and can fit Eddie Jones’ ‘smash and grab’ plan

Telegraph

23-05-16 13:11


Australian rugby union coach Eddie Jones has overseen the Barbarians’ team which included Australian players Quade Cooper and Samu Kerevi. Although Cooper ruptured his Achilles tendon last August, he and Kerevi could play the roles of the Wallabies’ 10 and 12 over the early part of Jones’s tenure. Australia could enter the World Cup later this year using the two rugby stars as their front-line duo, while youngster Mark Nawaqanitawase is also viewed as an exciting prospect. Australia's opening match of the international rugby season is July 8 against South Africa in Pretoria.

Archer ‘distraught’ after being ruled out of Ashes summer

The Independent

23-05-16 11:43


Jofra Archer will miss England's Ashes summer Test cricket and there are doubts over whether the 28-year-old will return to the format. Archer had made a return from injury and was expected to face Australia, but will not feature due to a new stress fracture injury to his elbow. Archer, who has had multiple setbacks due to surgery on his elbow and a stress fracture of the back, underwent further treatment on his elbow while playing in the Indian Premier League. There remain questions over his ability to again play Test cricket, where he made his debut at Lord's in 2019.

England and Wales company insolvencies fall 15% on year in April

Reuters

23-05-16 11:30


Data from the UK's Insolvency Service has shown that insolvencies in England and Wales fell by 15% YoY but remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, with 1,685 companies registered insolvent in April. Non-seasonally adjusted figures showed a third fewer insolvencies than in March. While the business climate remains tough, trade body R3 said the impact of the Bank of England's interest rate rises had yet to be felt by firms as many had short-term fixed-rate borrowing costs. The BoE said it estimated that only part of its past interest rate rises had been felt by the economy.

Labour demands full investigation into Teesside freeport project

Financial Times

23-05-16 11:19


UK opposition party Labour has requested that the National Audit Office undertake a comprehensive investigation into the Teesworks scheme in the Teesside freeport. The move followed an investigation by the Financial Times that uncovered allegations of poor value for money, cronyism, corruption and secrecy concerning the project. The 4,500-acre Teesworks site is the UK's biggest brownfield area and forms a significant part of the Teesside freeport in north-east England, aiming to regenerate the former Redcar steelworks. The project is overseen by Conservative mayor for Tees Valley Ben Houchen, who is battling growing criticism of the scheme's financial model.

Russia claims to have destroyed a $1.1bn US air defence system during its rocket attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. The Kremlin said that a hypersonic Kinzhal missile destroyed the Patriot missile battery. Ukraine, however, stated that it had downed all six Kinzhal missiles. This comes as a top Russian official is in a coma in Russian-controlled eastern Ukraine following an attack in a barber shop when a grenade was thrown at him. In response, France has decided to send longer-range missiles to Ukraine just days after the UK sent its Storm Shadow munitions.

Our ‘obsession’ with phonics has worked

Telegraph

23-05-16 16:59


England has been ranked fourth out of 43 countries for the reading ability of children aged nine to 10, according to the Pirls international survey. The country scored highest of all English-speaking nations and ranked above countries including Japan and Denmark. The score was a tribute to the approximately 250,000 primary school teachers who had embraced the learning of systematic synthetic phonics, said Conservative MP Nick Gibb. Gibb argued that evidence from international surveys showed regular reading could reduce or even eliminate the impact of a disadvantageous background on a child's academic success.

Foreign property buyers push house prices up 17pc

Overseas property buyers have pushed up house prices in England and Wales by an average £44,000, or 17%, over the past 20 years, according to a study by Filipa Sa, lecturer and economist at King’s College London. But the boom in foreign buyers slowed after Brexit and the pandemic, which impacted the UK’s appeal as a destination. The return of overseas buyers is expected to cushion house prices falls this year given experts forecasting a record net migration of up to one million before 2024.

The UK regulator and financial watchdog, the Bank of England (BoE), has adopted a form of style not dissimilar to US regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to the Financial Times (FT). Both SEC head Gary Gensler and BoE director of authorisations, regtech and international supervision Rebecca Jackson have resorted to opening speeches and briefings with dated pop culture references. In a recent speech, Jackson referred to the BoE's prudential regulatory authority as a “starship”; she also made seven other references to “starship PRA”.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is set to meet with the UK Health Secretary in an effort to finalise the pay deal for nurses. In June 2021, RCN members rejected an offer which enabled a 5% consolidated pay increase for 2023-24, as well as two one-off payments that amounted to £3,789. A majority of the 14 unions that comprise the NHS Staff Council supported the offer. The RCN will establish a further six-month mandate for strike action next week. The RCN is believed to be seeking a double-digit pay increase from the government.

23-05-16 21:00


Ollie Pope, 21, the Surrey batsman, has been appointed vice-captain of the England cricket team, setting him up as potential successor to Ben Stokes to lead the side. Stokes is returning early from the Indian Premier League, and while he is due to play against Ireland starting 24 July, there is uncertainty he will make it due to a knee injury. Pope, who has only captained once for Surrey, would offer continuity in the event Stokes’s leadership is required during this summer’s Ashes.

Rugby refereeing laws have left players with no option but to cheat, leading former All Black coach and current World Rugby Coach of the Year, Wayne Smith, to criticise the sport. In particular, he attacked the frequent use of the driving maul, which is organised to leave defenders with a choice between taking illegal action or watching as the maul rumbles over the try line. Smith's comments were supported by a number of rugby's most notable thinkers, including John Connolly, Andrew Slack and Sir John Kirwan.

Labour party leader Sir Keir Starmer will lay out plans for housing reform at a British Chambers of Commerce event today.

The plans are expected to appeal to younger Labour voters who have been unable to purchase a home due to rising house prices, but may be less popular with Conservative voters in rural areas.

UK businesses could benefit from hiring overseas workers as labour shortages continue to impact industries such as agriculture and hospitality, according to British Chambers of Commerce Director-General Shevaun Haviland. The government should adopt a “shortage occupation list” to secure the necessary labour, she suggested. Social care, fruit picking and meat processing also face labour shortages and the National Farmers' Union has called for a rolling five-year worker scheme to address the absence of seasonal workers on British farms.

The UK government is planning to introduce a new law in Parliament, the Renters (Reform) Bill, which will outlaw no-fault evictions and end bans on tenants claiming benefits. The bill will also prevent landlords from refusing to take families with children or tenants claiming benefits and give tenants the right to request pets in their accommodation if their landlord can't unreasonably refuse. The bill will make it easier for landlords to repossess properties from disruptive and anti-social tenants and the Conservatives have promised a better deal for renters.

Men who gain 2.2lbs annually between the ages of 17 and 30 increase their risk of prostate cancer by over a quarter, according to a Swedish study of over 250,000 participants, presented at the European Congress on Obesity in Dublin. The study, which followed participants for an average of 43 years, found similar links between gaining weight and the subsequent development or aggressiveness of prostate cancer at all ages. Among English men aged 25-34, 61% are overweight or obese, according to the NHS. One in ten men in the UK will suffer from prostate cancer in their lifetime.
