Team Britain last great Olympics after Brexit in Rio 2016

    According to Labour’s former Olympics Minister Dame Tessa Jowell: “If, in 2020, we’re looking back at a team GB that has not performed at the level that it did Rio or in London then it will be fair to say that Brexit was one of the reasons. Rio 2016 could be Team GB’s last truly great Olympic Games, as concerns mount that forthcoming political and economic upheaval as a consequence of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union will make it difficult to sustain the investment in sport necessary for British athletes to deliver the dominant performances the country has come to expect from them at Tokyo 2020 and beyond. The former Chancellor George Osborne pledged a 29 per cent increase in exchequer funding for elite sport in what turned out to be his final Autumn Statement...

Bomb Blast at Wedding party In Turkey: Killed At Least 50 people

    At least 50 people have been killed in a "barbaric" suicide bomb blast at a wedding in the Turkish city of Gaziantep, authorities say. Another 94 people were injured in the explosion, which a regional official in southern Turkey has described as a terror attack. Photos from the scene in the Sahinbey district of Gaziantep show a packed street with several bodies covered in white sheets. Veli Can, 25, said: "The celebrations were coming to an end and there was a big explosion among people dancing. "There was blood and body parts everywhere." At least 12 victims have already been buried but other funerals have been delayed because identification is difficult, as many of the bodies were blown apart. Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek visited the site of the attack, which he d...

North Korea calls diplomat Thae Yong Ho who was deputy ambassador in London

    Thae Yong Ho, North Korea's deputy ambassador in London who has defected with his family, speaks on a podium in London, Britain in a still image taken on 17 August, 2016. North Korea has branded its senior diplomat who defected to South Korea as human scum, claiming he is responsible for a series of crimes. Thae Yong Ho became the highest-ranking North Korean diplomat to defect to the South, Seoul confirmed on Wednesday. North Korean State media said Mr Thae had been ordered to return home in June to be investigated for a series of crimes, including embezzling government funds, leaking confidential secrets and sexually assaulting a child. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) also denounced the British government for rejecting its demands to extradite Mr Thae back to the N...

Goodbye to the Jet That Ruled the World

    Boeing Plans to End 747, The Plane That Changed the World As epoch-ending statements go, this one was stealthy and carefully modulated: “It is reasonably possible that we could decide to end production of the 747.” And so it slipped out, in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, first reported by Aviation Week, that Boeing foresees the moment when the single most consequential airplane it ever built will come to the end of its viable life—probably around 2020, which would give the 747 fifty years in production. Like millions of people across the globe, I long ago came to take the 747—the Jumbo Jet—waiting at an airport gate as a distinctive and welcome presence, an airplane that reassured you with its substance and solidity; never exactly sexy but with a perso...

Brexit boom: The five charts which show Britain has escaped an economic apocalypse

    Unemployment is down, prices are steady, shoppers are confident and the government ran a budget surplus in July. The first economic data for July – the month following the Brexit referendum – was published this week, and shows no signs of an immediate economic collapse. It is early days and a slowdown is still expected, but the data are reassuring so far. Campaigners such as former Chancellor George Osborne warned that a vote to leave the EU would cause “a profound economic shock”, and stock markets dived following the result. But since then share prices have risen back above their pre-vote levels and fears of a recession are falling. Here are the latest figures showing the UK’s performance since the vote. Unemployment: down The number of people claiming unemployment-relat...

Donald Trump Family Values

    In this April 10, 2006, file photo, Donald Trump poses outside his Chicago offices and his 92-story residential tower underconstruction on the Chicago River. There's something about bulldozers and hard hats that brings a family together. It worked for Donald Trump and his father. And it worked for Donald Trump and his children. There's something about bulldozers and hard hats that brings a family together. It worked for Donald Trump and his father. And it worked for Donald Trump and his children. Long before Donald Trump was a presidential candidate, New York real estate mogul and reality TV star, he was Fred Trump's kid, sitting at his dad's knee playing with blocks as his father developed homes and post-war apartment buildings in Brooklyn and Queens. Fast forward six dec...

Brexit legal challenge: High Court bid could derail Theresa May’s EU exit timetable

    Remain supporters have crowd-funded £32,000 in legal fees to argue Ms May will need Parliament's backing before beginning formal negotiations to leave the EU. Theresa May’s timetable for negotiating Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union could be derailed by a High Court challenge in October. Pro-EU campaigners who claim the Prime Minister needs Parliament’s backing before starting formal talks have raised £32,000 towards their £50,000 initial legal costs from 840 people through crowd-funding. They are confident their “People’s Challenge” will go ahead. Ms May is expected early next year to trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty, which will start two years of Brexit negotiations. The Government has refused to promise MPs and peers a vote on the decision, fuelli...

Terror plot foiled in its final few hours after spooks hack attackers phones and emails

    Terror plot foiled in its final few hours after spooks hack attackers phones and emails. In another case study the report tells how during the Afghan campaign a 50-strong team at GCHQ mounted a massive operation to help the SAS rescue Western hostages held by the Taliban. The spooks sifted through a mass of communications data to find details of the armed group which held the hostages and then hacked their phones and emails to gain insight into the group’s intent. The report goes on: This work enabled GCHQ to locate the group, monitor it and establish the group’s links with known terrorist networks. Within 72 hours of the kidnapping, the hostages had been located. Analysis of the content of the communications of the kidnappers, obtained through bulk interception, indicated...

1,500 mile wide Atlantic storm will bring early autumn to Britain

    Rewind just a few weeks and Britons were flocking to beaches as the country basked in temperatures more familiar to those who live in the Mediterranean. But, as perhaps we have come to expect, the Great British summer has already come to an abrupt halt - with a 1,500-mile-wide storm due to hit the country on Friday night. A severe weather warning coming into effect at 7am on Saturday has been issued by the Met Office as unseasonably strong winds - gusting at up to 60mph - are expected to batter the coast. The sudden change in weather signals the start of an “early autumn”, experts claimed, with heavy, blustery showers expected and up to 20mm of rain falling in places. The weather will intensify on Saturday as temperatures drop to 11C overnight. The RAC warned of severe tra...

Trump says he regrets offending people with how he speaks

    Donald Trump made a rare act of contrition Thursday, saying he regretted offending people with his harsh way of speaking. The Republican nominee made the gesture at his first rally since ordering a shakeup in his campaign to save his struggling White House bid. Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing, Trump told a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina. I have done that. And believe it or not, I regret it, he said, drawing laughs and applause from the crowd. I do regret it. Particularly, where it may have caused personal pain. He added: "Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues, but one thing, I can promise you this, I will always tell you the truth. The New York bill...
