    NHS staff have been subjected to sexual harassment, groping, upskirting and even rape by bosses, fellow workers and patients while at work, a report reveals. Nurses, care assistants, cleaners and administrative staff have ended up suffering serious mental trauma, and even quitting their jobs after becoming the victims of sexual misbehaviour and crime. The findings are contained in research published on Thursday by Unison.

Iria Suárez González, 35, was employed for just under a year at West Oxford Community Primary School as a teaching assistant after she was hired in September 2016.

    India's World Cup clash against Pakistan could be the most watched cricket match in history – with an estimated one billion tuning in. The Manchester rain intervened but it could not dampen the spirits of the arch-rivals, with fans travelling thousands of miles to Old Trafford. Almost 800,000 applications for just 23,500 seats made tickets the hottest in town. Yet those who missed out on the cauldron of noise, colour and flags joined the huge global TV audience. David Richardson, International Cricket Council chief executive, said: “There were at least 500 million watching on the day. Yet that’s just on TV. Digital channels and other platforms will take it to a billion.” The previous record was for India’s 2011 World Cup final against Sri Lanka when 558 million tu...
