What is bank capital and why does it matter

    The collapse of Lehman Brothers and the world economy was the work of Baby Boomers who now want to further mar Millennials' future Alarming new research suggests the UK’s four biggest banks would need to raise another £155bn in fresh capital to withstand a new financial crisis, despite the view of the Bank of England Governor that lenders have an adequate cushion to cope with further turmoil. But what is "capital"? And why should we be concerned? What is a bank’s capital cushion? Capital, broadly, represents shareholders’ money on the balance sheet of a commercial bank. It’s there to absorb losses. If losses are bigger than the capital cushion the bank is bust. So why does that matter for anyone else? If a bank goes bust and it is considered to be important for the wider e...

PM Theresa May Preparing To Lift Grammar Schools Ban

    Theresa May is said to be planning to allow a new wave of grammar schools for the first time in 20 years. A government source suggested bringing back academic selection in state schools would be part of her agenda to increase social mobility. But lifting the ban on new grammar schools, imposed by Labour in 1998, would be highly controversial and put her on a collision course with the teaching establishment. Mrs May attended a grammar school and recently allowed a new "annex" for one in her Maidenhead constituency, which is permitted within the law. The green light for a new generation of grammars, which now account for just 163 of the 3,000 state secondaries in England, would cheer Tory backbenchers who failed to win David Cameron's backing. Downing Street said: "The Prime...

PM Modi urges action against Indian cow vigilantes

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticised vigilantes who portray themselves as protectors of cows - an animal considered sacred by Hindus. Modi, a Hindu nationalist, said such people made him "angry", and any such attacks must be investigated. He had been criticised for saying nothing about a public flogging last month of low-caste men by vigilantes. The self-styled cow defenders accused the four men from the Dalit caste of harming cattle. The victims insisted they were taking a cow's carcass for skinning, as was their tradition. Also in July, two Muslim women were beaten up by vigilantes over accusations that they had been carrying beef. Growing pressure Speaking in the capital Delhi on Saturday, Modi said he would ask state governments across India to investigat...

Amiri first disappeared in 2009 immediately after he left Iran to complete the Hajj in Saudi Arabia. Acco...

Germany is writing to UK startups to try and persuade them to move to Berlin after Brexit

    A German politician is writing to London startups in an attempt to persuade them to relocate to Berlin after the Brexit vote. Berlin Senator for Economics, Technology and Research Cornelia Yzer is warning British companies that remaining in Britain after the country leaves the European Union will damage their businesses, and she says that Berlin will provide resources that will help them relocate. "Britain's vote to leave the European Union will severely affect your operations in the United Kingdom," the letter reads. "Probably you will already check the feasibility to move your company right in the heart of the European Union." Yzer's pitch continues: "Berlin is not only the capital of Europe's strongest national economy but also the fastest growing state in Germany ... B...

Why energy may soon be free thanks to solar, wind, storage and big data

    A solar energy farm being built in Yantai, Shandong Province of China Paying for electricity could soon become a thing of the past if analysts at Citi, a global investment bank, are to be believed. Researchers at the bank have calculated that cheaper storage and smart data analytics may soon make solar and wind energy available to consumers in some parts of the world - completely for free. “The notion of free energy came to prominence in the 1960s, as nuclear fusion was touted as a way to provide free energy,” researchers said in the report on disrutive innovation. "Now, Big Data and advanced analytics are developing rapidly to improve forecasting, automation, customisation, and the democratisation of energy. The end result is that we are producing more energy with fewer r...

Revealed the unaffordable places to live in England

    Charity Shelter said other basic needs can suffer a result of housing costs Large swathes of England are spending more than a third of their disposable income on rent, research has found. There is still a clear North – South divide with Londoners facing the highest housing costs. Spending more than a third of income on rent or mortgage can leave people unable to afford basic needs, according to housing charity Shelter. “Our chronic housing shortage means private renting is no longer a stepping stone for people starting out in life – it’s where a quarter of families have to live," said Shelter chief executive Campbell Robb. "With sky high rents eating up a huge chunk of people’s monthly income, it’s sadly no surprise that at Shelter we’re hearing from growing numbers of fam...

Inaugurated opening ceremony of Rio Olympic

    The 2016 Olympic Summer Games got underway Friday night in Rio de Janeiro in a festive opening ceremony filled with the traditions of the host country, a message of environmentalism and a call for unity. The Olympic torch ended its 95-day worldwide journey tonight in front of an estimated crowd of 70,000 at Maracana Stadium, with marathoner Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima lighting a small cauldron. The festivities got off to somewhat of a rocky start with protesters confronting police in the area, but the show featured pageantry from the host country and around the globe. The ceremony also included the first refugee team in history, which organizers called a "message of hope." The opening ceremony featured three key themes: reinvent, rejoice and replant. The event opened with s...

Donald Trump savages Japan, saying all they will do is watch Sony TVs’ if US is attacked and threatens

    Donald Trump has attacked Japan, one of America's closest allies, stating that if the US is attacked, all Japan would do is "sit home and watch Sony television". He expressed his frustration that the US is bound by treaty to defend the Asian nation but that if the United States is attacked, the Japanese cannot help because of Article 9, which constitutionally forbids it to send armed forces overseas. He said that it "could be necessary" for the US to walk away from the treaty - or at least threaten to do so. At a campaign event in Iowa, Mr Trump also repeated his criticism of countries that do not pull their weight in terms of financial contributions to Nato. "You know we have a treaty with Japan, where if Japan is attacked, we have to use the full force and might of the U...
