村庄加入反对移民营地的反抗行列

皮丁顿制定蓝图，助力其他被迫安置数千名寻求庇护者的微型教区

作者：查尔斯·海马斯（Charles Hymas）和丹尼尔·马丁（Daniel Martin）

一场针对移民营地的村庄反击战即将席卷全国。

位于牛津郡的皮丁顿村（Piddington）将于今日举行一场象征性的“脱离英国”全民公投，以抗议将多达 1,250 名男性寻求庇护者安置在该村（常住人口 350 人）附近的一处前陆军军营的计划。

全国已有数百个其他村镇就如何复制此次运动寻求该教区的建议，此次运动已获得保守党和改革党的支持。

除了投票之外，皮丁顿的村民还制定了安装无线闭路电视（CCTV）网络、紧急警报系统和安全巡逻队的计划。在预计将全票通过的投票前夕，该村的女性在接受《电讯报》采访时表示，由于担心移民涌入，她们计划参加自卫课程。

皮丁顿教区议会主席蒂姆·麦克纳利（Tim McNally）表示，数百个其他地区希望效仿他的蓝图，反击移民营地。他说：“我们一直在与持有相同想法的其他地区在幕后合作，他们觉得自己的诉求没有得到代表，且被粗暴地对待。我们的政治怎么变成了这样，竟然允许这种情况发生？”

“当我第一次公布该蓝图时，收到了来自全英各地教区和城镇议员的 500 多次咨询。我们举行公投的目的就是为了让他们能自己去实施。”

奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）领导的政党已誓言支持任何想要举行类似投票的地区。昨日访问皮丁顿的改革英国党（Reform UK）议员苏埃拉·布雷弗曼（Suella Braverman）表示，她听到了“一些女性绝对恐惧这种移民设施将给她们的家庭和社区带来什么”。

她补充道：“这是政府将意志强加给当地人，并期望他们简单地接受。这是令人震惊的权力滥用。”影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普（Chris Philp）表示：“这显示了这里愤怒的深度，但也反映了全国范围内对边境管控失败的愤怒。”

“这些女性绝对恐惧这种移民设施将给她们的家庭带来什么”

位于比斯特（Bicester）附近的皮丁顿是拟建在原军事基地上的三个新寻求庇护者营地之一。随着劳工党试图将数千名移民从酒店迁出，并为今年迄今为止抵达的 17,000 名英吉利海峡移民寻找住所，位于东萨塞克斯郡克罗伯勒（Crowborough）和埃塞克斯郡韦瑟斯菲尔德（Wethersfield）的营地已经开放。这些地点并非拘留营，这意味着安置在那里的寻求庇护者被允许在周围村庄自由行走。

麦克纳利先生表示，政府未能提供任何关于移民犯罪率的数据，使村民们在不知情的情况下担心最坏的情况。

他抱怨说，村里只有 10 天时间来回应一份关于该地点的 1,000 页规划文件。他说：“我们面临的是民主的完全缺失，没有任何咨询。”

麦克纳利先生的蓝图分八个阶段阐述了如何组织一次当地公投。鼓励他人效仿

在投票之前，皮丁顿的女性聚集在村庄绿地上，抗议移民住所。

吉娜·珀金斯（Gina Perkins），37, 一名有三个儿子（分别为 7 岁、5 岁和 10 个月大）的居民，她说：“我绝对恐惧。我们每周会来这里踢几次球。我将无法安心地让我的孩子们走在村里去看他们的祖父母。”

公投结果预计将于明天上午公布。

内政部一名发言人表示：“政府正在关闭所有寻求庇护者酒店，自选举以来，在寻求庇护支持方面为纳税人节省了超过 10亿英镑。”

“作为该流程的一部分，我们与地方当局和警方合作，以确保周边地区人员的安全与保障。”

NHS内部揭露“反犹主义根源”

作者：劳拉·多内利 (Laura Donnelly) 健康编辑

一项调查揭露，一名护士在被NHS（英国国家医疗服务体系）的一名同事发现其犹太人身份后，遭到了对方的纳粹礼对待。

该事件是犹太患者和工作人员在医疗服务体系中据称遭受的一系列反犹主义虐待案例中的一个缩影。

“反犹主义运动”（Campaign Against Antisemitism）表示，其在一部纪录片中详细阐述的调查揭露了“NHS核心地带的反犹主义根源”。

在另一个案例中，一名为犹太癌症患者进行手术的外科医生据称告诉该患者，犹太人“为了好玩”而杀害巴勒斯坦儿童。据称，该医生是在为该男子额头切除癌肿并使用局部麻醉期间发表上述言论的。

此次调查结果是在相关部门试图解决NHS内部反犹主义问题的背景下公布的。

这部名为《恶性：NHS中的反犹主义》（Malignant: Anti-Semitism in the NHS）的纪录片采访了剑桥一家医院的注册护士谢莉·利普曼（Shelley Lipman），她表示在一名同事发现她是犹太人后，她遭到了纳粹礼的对待。

利普曼女士表示，一名医疗助理询问了她手臂上的希伯来书法纹身，促使她解释自己是犹太人。

她说，在午餐回来后，一名护士在病床边对着

“我说‘你在做纳粹礼’，他回答‘是的’。我惊呆了”

她做出了纳粹礼。“我觉得我的下巴掉下来维持了像一个小时那么久，”她说，“我简直彻底惊呆了。”

利普曼女士说她质问了那名同事，说道：“那是纳粹礼。那是希特勒。”她说那名同事回答道：“是的。”

据利普曼女士称，该工作人员仍在该医院就职。“他还在那里，”她说，“我讨厌这样。我绝对讨厌这样。”

今年6月，在对犹太患者日益增长的敌意引发担忧后，部长们接受了政府反犹主义顾问曼勋爵（Lord Mann）的建议，详见第6页

法拉奇威胁切断劳工党工会资金 / 萨塞克斯夫妇因安全问题为孩子更换学校

作者：Genevieve Holl-Allen 政治记者

奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）威胁称，如果改革英国党（Reform UK）赢得下次大选，将切断劳工党的工会资金。

在一场关于政党资金日益激烈的争论中，法拉奇先生抨击了工会要求限制个人捐款的同时却为自己制定一套独立规则的行为。

在为今日《电讯报》撰写的文章中，他表示，改革英国党的两位主要捐赠者——加密货币亿万富翁本·德洛（Ben Delo）和克里斯托弗·哈本（Christopher Harborne）——都没有要求，也不会因为他们各自承诺向其政党捐赠的3600 万英镑资金而获得任何回报。

“如果有人在出钱进行政治交易，那就是工会，”他写道。“因此，我现在就警告劳工党：如果你试图禁止我们的捐赠者，那么我们在政府中肯定会禁止来自工会的资金。我不想走这条路，但这是我们准备好去做的事情。”

预计英国工会大会（TUC）今日将要求在限制个人捐款的规则之外，为管理工会捐款制定一套独立的规则。劳工党下属的11个工会希望任何对政治捐款的限制都能将富裕个人的捐款与工会资金区分开来。

一名工会消息人士表示，他们也对捐款金额的上限持开放态度，尽管具体的机制和水平尚未 续见第 4 页。

萨塞克斯公爵与公爵夫人因安全顾虑已将孩子转到一所新学校。

七岁的阿奇王子（Prince Archie）和五岁的莉莉贝特公主（Princess Lilibet）上周开始在英国的一所学校就读，但现在将转入该地区的另一所学校。一名消息人士表示：“父母对所有教师和工作人员向他们的家庭展现的爱、关怀和努力深表感激。这一决定绝不应被解读为对该学校或孩子们在那里获得的卓越照顾的负面评价。”

孩子们在该校仅就读了两天，随后萨塞克斯夫妇便因通勤顾虑将他们接走。交通拥堵以及学校与住所之间的距离是关键因素。据称，其中一起事件导致夫妇俩的私人安保团队难以保持车队编队。

萨塞克斯公爵夫人昨日获得了自放弃王室职责以来的首次政府支持的安全审查。在搬回英国后，萨塞克斯夫妇两人很快都将收到一份正式的风险评估报告。

皇家与贵宾执行委员会（Ravec）已要求这对夫妇提供其新日常行程的详细信息。委员会主席上周致信萨塞克斯公爵，确认鉴于其情况的变化，已为其及其妻子分别委托进行新的风险评估。Ravec隶属于内政部， 续见第 5 页

Sinn Fein：首相无法阻止我们瓦解联邦

权力下放国家达成协议，旨在瓦解英国

苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰首席大臣签署协议，坚持独立权利

作者：Simon Johnson 苏格兰政治编辑

Sinn Fein 在与苏格兰民族党（SNP）和威尔士党（Plaid Cymru）签署协议后表示，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）无法阻止英国的瓦解。英国三个权力下放国家的首席大臣——SNP领导人约翰·斯温尼（John Swinney）、威尔士党领导人伦·阿普·约尔沃斯（Rhun ap Iorwerth）以及 Sinn Fein 副主席米歇尔·奥尼尔（Michelle O'Neill）昨日在卡迪夫的一次会议上签署了一份谅解备忘录。

在美总统唐纳德·特朗普表示他将“非常希望”看到一个统一的爱尔兰后，该协议旨在向首相施压。

北爱尔兰首席大臣奥尼尔女士表示，伯纳姆先生“将无法阻挡”苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰民族主义的浪潮。在一次联合新闻发布会上，她表示：“我们确实生活在一个剧烈变革的时代，这种变革是不可阻挡的。无论任何一位英国首相怎么说，他们都无法阻挡此时此刻在我们眼前发生的一切。”

“我们的共同目标是意识到，威斯敏斯特（Westminster）没有、也永远不会很好地服务于我们的民众。我们的共同目标是我们拥有自决权，而我们在这里的共同目标是，我们需要共同确保威斯敏斯特听到这个信息。”

她表示，尽管伯纳姆先生持有相反主张，但爱尔兰统一“完全在议程上”，且特朗普先生周末的言论“充分反映出目前已有大批参与此项辩论的人士”。

该备忘录指出，在威尔士党赢得5月的威尔士选举后，三个分离主义政党首次同时执政。

备忘录称：“没有比这更明确的迹象能证明威斯敏斯特的时代即将结束。我们相信宪法变革即将到来。”

该协议声明，这三个国家拥有威斯敏斯特无法阻挡的“自决权”。协议称，每个国家将“以自己的方式并在自己的时间表内”寻求脱离英国。

协议主张，英国政府应为这三个国家的宪法变革做好必要准备。尽管威尔士曾投票支持脱欧，且有警告称这将与英格兰之间形成硬边界，但该协议还承诺这些国家在独立后将加入欧盟。

协议称：“我们的国家拥有自决权。没有任何威斯敏斯特政府有权阻碍民主。”

伯纳姆先生已排除“参与宪法辩论或进一步举行全民公投”的可能性。

苏格兰保守党领导人罗素·芬德利（Russell Findlay）表示：“苏格兰许多人在看到约翰·斯温尼与 Sinn Fein 联手，共同表达摧毁英国的愿望时，会感到厌恶。”

伯纳姆先生的发言人表示：“首相致力于在英国所有四个国家推动变革，并坚信联邦的价值。”

“当人们围绕共同价值观和解决问题而非分歧而团结在一起时，英国才处于最佳状态。”

劳工党计划允许私营公司对新道路收取过路费

作者：加雷斯·科菲尔德 (Gareth Corfield) 交通记者

劳工党正赋予私营公司在升级后的高速公路和 A 类道路上征收过路费的权力。

根据新规定，由企业而非纳税人出资改善主要道路。作为回报，这些公司将被允许向使用这些道路的驾驶员收取费用。

这使得驾驶员在能够行驶在最新、维护最好的高速公路和 A 类道路之前，可能必须预先付费。

AA 协会主席埃德蒙·金（Edmund King）表示：“驾驶员已经通过 340亿英镑 的燃油税和车辆消费税（路税）为道路买单，因此额外的收费将是无法承受的过路费。”

政府消息人士称，劳工党新提出的《公路（融资）法案》的推动力来自现有的下泰晤士河跨线（Lower Thames Crossing）计划。

多年来，这条连接肯特郡与埃塞克斯郡的新隧道预计将通过私营投资建设，并通过向驾驶员征收过路费来偿还。然而，新法案并不局限于该隧道。新的法律权力还可以扩大到适用于任何未来的“干线公路”，即 A 类道路或高速公路。

劳工党拟议的法律还将授予新的过路费公司执法权。

340亿英镑 根据 AA 协会的数据，英国驾驶员目前已支付的燃油税和车辆消费税（路税）总额

获得过路费公司书面许可的私营代理人将被赋予权力，可以强行进入被怀疑使用“虚假文件”以逃费通过收费站的车辆。

根据法案目前的规定，“故意阻碍”此类代理人的行为将成为一项犯罪，可被判处六个月监禁或 £500 罚款。类似的权力也将用于针对被指控使用干扰器导致“必要设备”产生“干扰”的驾驶员，这些设备（如过路费标签）可自动追踪并向使用收费道路的车辆开具账单。

金先生表示：“虽然驾驶员欢迎对战略路网瓶颈的改善和维护，但他们希望政府能保证，授予私营承包商许可证并不意味着这些道路将被征收过路费。”

政府表示，新的收费将由铁路与道路管理局（Office of Rail and Road）监管，并坚持认为过路费公司不会被允许随意定价。

交通部的一位发言人表示：“许可证持有者在未经许可的情况下不能引入新的过路费，且根据本立法引入的任何过路费都将设有上限并由独立机构监管。”

“本届政府正通过创纪录的 240亿英镑 投资修复道路，以改善驾驶员的出行条件。”

剑桥大学可拒绝向阿尔代调查提供证据

电讯报记者报道

剑桥大学可以拒绝向杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）调查提交证据。

针对该大学在阿尔代死亡前事件处理情况的独立审查，于昨日发布了一份详细阐述调查范围的深度报告。报告阐明了审查将如何处理“关于披露的争议”，并暗示大学将能够扣留某些文件。

这份发布在剑桥大学网站上的文件指出：“若某份文件被扣留，大学将告知审查小组扣留该文件的原因及其依据，并提供足够详细的信息，以便审查小组决定是否对此提出异议。”

此次审查由纳齐尔·阿夫扎尔（Nazir Afzal）领导，他曾任首席检察官，现任曼彻斯特大学校长。

阿夫扎尔先生在报告的前言中写道：“本审查无法说明阿尔代教授死亡的原因。这个问题属于验尸官的职权范围，验尸官可以强制要求提供证据，在公开场合审理，并将得出我不便预先推测的结论。”

“任何希望我能提供该答案而阅读本文的人，现在应当停止阅读并等待死因研讯。我能做的事情范围更窄，但依然值得去做。我可以查明大学对其处境了解多少、何时了解、采取了什么行动，以及在当时掌握的信息基础上，其采取的行动是否合理。”

此次审查将不判定法律责任，旨在调查在阿尔代先生去世前，他可以获得什么样的支持、干预和福利保障。

41岁的阿尔代于8月14日在伦敦南部巴特西的一个地址被发现死亡，就在他辞去剑桥大学教育社会学教授职务一周多之后。

大学发言人表示：“在符合适用法律、特权、隐私、福利和保密要求的前提下，大学理事会致力于尽可能保持透明。”

研究称：眼部扫描可检测心脏问题

一项研究发现，眼部扫描有助于在诊断出常见心脏病数年前就检测到该病症，这种病症会增加中风风险。

研究人员表示，这种方法可能是一种非侵入性的方式，在心房颤动（AF）造成实际伤害之前向患者发出预警。

专家分析了超过 90,000 人的数据，发现患有该病症的人在视网膜中具有独特的生物标志物。

据估计，英国约有 1.5m 人患有这种导致心跳不稳的心脏病，尽管还有数十万人可能在未被诊断的情况下生活。

该研究结果已发表在《Plos Digital Health》杂志上。

赤裸的错误：体育明星反击斯威尼

愤怒的女运动员认为，好莱坞女演员的性感广告让女性体育事业倒退

作者：Emily Smith

悉尼·斯威尼（Sydney Sweeney）因在一段博彩广告中全裸出镜，被指责将女性体育性化。

这位好莱坞女演员为体育预测市场公司 Novig 拍摄了一段视频，该视频在四天内获得了近一百万次观看。

广告画面显示，斯威尼赤裸上身坐在篮球筐上，说道：“所以他们只想展示体育。”

在以各种半裸状态打网球、高尔夫球和棒球，并重复说了九次“体育”之后，这位 29 岁的美国明星补充道：“这个没法交易，我在这里只是看起来很美。不赌战争或死亡，也不涉及政治。只有你和你对体育的见解。”

广告在她全裸走开时结束。

这位《亢奋》（Euphoria）剧集的明星遭到了女运动员们的批评，她们指责她让女性体育事业产生了倒退。

英国短跑冠军艾米·亨特（Amy Hunt）在周日的世界田径终极锦标赛女子 200 米决赛后，直视镜头说道：“悉尼·斯威尼，这才是女性体育的样子。艰苦的努力、汗水、鲜血、泪水。这是一个美好的夜晚。”

澳大利亚奥运金牌游泳运动员阿里安娜·蒂特姆斯（Ariarne Titmus）表示：“我们怎么能生活在一个将女性身体货币化、将女性体育性化依然盛行的世界里？”

她将这次宣传活动描述为“是对每一个致力于精进技艺的女性的扇耳光”，也是对“每一个因为体育的真实面貌——团队合作、友谊、奉献、卓越、团结——而热爱体育的女性的扇耳光”。她说：“悉尼·斯威尼，请做得更好。”

美国体操运动员格雷西·克拉默（Gracie Kramer）发布了一段

英国欧洲冠军艾米·亨特在周末的一场比赛后表示：“悉尼，这才是女性体育的样子”

她训练计划的剪辑视频，并配文：“我不知道悉尼·斯威尼在做什么，但这才是体育女性的样子。”

她的帖子引发了许多女运动员效仿这一趋势，多人发布了自己的体育运动视频并批评该广告。

美国水球银牌得主蒂莉·基恩斯（Tilly Kearns）发布了一段她运动的剪辑，配文：“我简直他妈的讨厌悉尼·斯威尼的新体育广告。”

世界冠军拳击手斯凯·尼科尔森（Skye Nicolson）表示，该广告是对女性体育的“嘲弄”。

澳大利亚短跑运动员布里·里佐（Bree Rizzo）也发布了一段她训练计划的视频合集，配文：“女性体育远不止于外貌。它关乎力量、技巧、奉献、韧性、自信以及她们能够实现的一切。”

斯威尼出演该广告的酬劳尚未公开。这位女演员不仅是该活动的代言人，还以战略合作伙伴和股权持有者的身份加入了该公司。斯威尼似乎通过发布知名男女运动员为杂志拍摄的裸照来予以反击。

这些照片包括网球巨星塞雷娜·威廉姆斯（Serena Williams）、综合格斗选手朗达·劳齐（Ronda Rousey）以及女足运动员梅根·拉皮诺（Megan Rapinoe）和苏·伯德（Sue Bird）。美国橄榄球运动员罗布·格隆考夫斯基（Rob Gronkowski）、迈尔斯·加雷特（Myles Garrett）和杰森·凯尔塞（Jason Kelce）也全裸出镜。

去年，斯威尼出演了一则 American Eagle 的广告，因使用优生学语言而受到严厉批评。

在这则现已删除的广告中，当镜头放大她的胸部时，广告赞美她拥有“优秀的基因”，因此该女演员被指责在迎合性别歧视的刻板印象。

在广告发布数月后，斯威尼表示：“我反对仇恨和分裂。”

悉尼·斯威尼（Sydney Sweeney，右）为其 Novig 的新广告活动遭到了激烈的反应。作为回应，她在 Instagram 上发布了一系列

迈尔斯·加雷特（Myles Garrett），这位效力于布朗队和洛杉矶公羊队的美国橄榄球运动员曾出现在 2019 年的《身体特辑》（Body Issue）中，这是美国体育电视网 ESPN 的《身体特辑》最后一个印刷版本。该特辑曾被认为是《体育画报》（Sports Illustrated）年度泳装特辑的竞争对手。此前曾有许多男女运动员在其中裸体出镜。网球球星塞雷娜·威廉姆斯（Serena Williams，上图）是 2009 年特辑六款备选封面中销量最高的一款，该期封面还包括格斗运动员吉娜·卡拉诺（Gina Carano）。

滚蛋吧：女性运动员不应被拖回“男刊”时代

菲奥娜·托马斯 (Fiona Tomas)

粗俗。令人作呕。落后。悉尼·斯威尼（Sydney Sweeney）的裸体博彩广告恰恰达到了它的目的：引起轰动。职业女性运动员对这段一分钟长的视频感到愤怒，视频中全裸的斯威尼以多种挑逗性的姿势拿着不同的运动球类。在其中一个镜头中，她坐在篮球架顶端，双腿张开，用一根手指旋转着球。在另一个镜头中，她将美式足球推向胸部，并非为了遮掩，而是为了凸显。球，球，到处都是球。而女性运动员们发起了反击，统一传达了一个信息：滚蛋吧（balls to this）。

斯威尼令人宽慰地告诉我们，博彩公司 Novig “仅关乎体育”，但她却毫不掩饰地将性元素引入其中，这使得整件事在 2026 年变得极其成问题。

“通过将自己置于体育语境中，她危险地扭曲了运动员的现代现实”

这不仅仅是一位好莱坞女演员在迎合男性凝视。通过将自己置于体育语境并倾向于性幻想，她危险地扭曲了当代女性运动员的外貌与能力的现实，将她们拖回了“男刊”（lad mag）era.。

难怪这件事反响如此糟糕。在周日终极世界锦标赛一场激烈的女子 200 米决赛中获得第四名后，艾米·亨特（Amy Hunt）公开指责了斯威尼。这位口才出众的剑桥大学毕业生直视镜头说道：“悉尼·斯威尼，这才是体育女性的样子。21.4 [秒]。肌肉。艰苦的努力，血，汗，泪。”

当然，斯威尼和 Novig 知道自己在做什么。在网上走红就是他们的目标。

而且，我们要明确一点，斯威尼完全有权以任何她觉得舒适的方式展示自己的身体，但作为 Novig 的持股人，她出演该广告是为了个人利益。

“这直观地提醒人们，体育在‘第三页女郎’时代之后已经进步了多少”

然而，这次抵制规模惊人，女性运动员们涌入社交媒体，谴责该广告及其以不那么含蓄的方式将她们性化并轻视她们，而这种形象正是她们几十年来一直努力摆脱的。

这直观地提醒人们，体育在 Page 3 女郎时代之后已经进步了多少。女性运动员经常能让体育场座无虚席，但博彩业却依然执迷于采用一种经久不衰的策略：性销售。

斯威尼及其 Novig 团队成员破坏了数十年的进步，而她的回应则深刻揭示了她在理解这一点上的严重缺失。她向其 2500 万 的 Instagram 粉丝发布了几张杂志封面，图片中是一些自愿拍摄裸照的著名女性运动员。其中包括塞雷娜·威廉姆斯（Serena Williams）、卡罗琳·沃兹尼亚奇（Caroline Wozniacki）、朗达·罗西（Ronda Rousey）、梅根·拉皮诺（Megan Rapinoe）和苏·伯德（Sue Bird）。但她们没有一个人利用各自的运动项目来增强性吸引力，而是专门赞美她们的运动能力、力量和强度。这之间有着本质的区别。

女性运动员值得更好的对待，而不是被用在如此缺乏共情力的博彩广告中。现在是 2026, 换个剧本吧。

奥斯汀剧集受《切尔西制造》启发是事实

作者：Ruby Cline

《理智与情感》的编剧表示，为了给最新改编的简·奥斯汀小说寻找灵感，他观看了《切尔西制造》（Made in Chelsea）的每一集。

安德鲁·戴维斯（Andrew Davies）曾参与过包括《傲慢与偏见》和《诺桑格庄园》在内的奥斯汀故事创作，此次他尝试挑战该作者的一部未完成作品。

戴维斯表示，他观看了自2011年起播出的E4真人秀节目《切尔西制造》全部31季，以帮助他将改编的《沃森一家》（The Watsons）赋予生命。

他告诉BBC广播4台，该节目能激发关于关系和想法的灵感。他说：“例如，《沃森一家》中的这些年轻男女与《切尔西制造》中的非常相似。”

戴维斯于1995年为BBC改编的电视剧《傲慢与偏见》奠定了他作为时代剧大师的声誉。当被问及是否介意被视为那个将简·奥斯汀作品“性感化”的人时，戴维斯说：“我一点也不介意。”

“我只是挖掘出其中固有的性感。另一件事是——这些作品本身就很有趣，这也是其固有属性。”

此后，他参与了《一个女人的虚荣心》、《战争与和平》和《悲惨世界》的电视剧改编，以及像《布里奇特·琼斯的日记》这样的现代故事。去年，他透露自己正在“研究《沃森一家》”。

这部约18,000字的不完整书籍可能写于1803年，讲述了艾玛·沃森（Emma Watson）的故事，她

哈利·波特影星称所有私立学校都应被夷为平地

作者：India McTaggart 娱乐记者

一名新版《哈利·波特》系列的演员表示，所有私立学校都应该“被夷为平地”。

在HBO新版魔法世界改编剧中饰演卢修斯·马尔福的强尼·弗林（Johnny Flynn），在讲述其就读寄宿学校的“创伤性”经历时发表了上述言论。

这位出生于南非的英国演员此前因在2020年改编的简·奥斯汀小说电影《爱玛》中饰演乔治·奈特利而闻名。他告诉《广播时报》（Radio Times），他在英国上学期间遭受了严重的欺凌。

在谈到七岁被送往寄宿学校时，他说：“对我来说这相当具有创伤性，”并补充道：“我认为它们都应该被夷为平地，我认为私立学校不应该存在。”

这位43岁的演员同时也是乐队“Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit”的主唱兼词曲作者。在讨论他在《MobLand》中的角色时，他阐述了对英国教育系统的看法。

在这部犯罪剧的第二季中，他与汤姆（Tom）共同主演

“当讲述故事的人全部是同一群私立学校出身的家伙时，这太糟糕了”

在由盖·里奇担任执行制片人的这部剧中，弗林饰演一名罪犯兼足科医生，并与哈迪共同主演。

在谈到他、哈迪和里奇都受过私立教育时，弗林承认：“那些上层阶级男孩掌控一切，这是一个非常重要的议题——”

“但那些可能被针对的人，比如埃迪·雷德梅恩和本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇，是我认识的最善良的人，他们会说，‘是的，我们不想成为这里唯一的人。’”

他表示，在寄宿学校期间他产生了“神经质抽搐”，直到多年后才意识到这段经历中存在“相当痛苦的东西”。他说在接受治疗时了解到“有一种东西叫寄宿学校综合征”，并补充道：“我现在很好，没问题了。”

不久后，他将为了在圣诞节首播的《哈利·波特》中饰演卢修斯而再次体验寄宿生活；在JK罗琳小说改编的商业大片中，该角色此前由杰森·艾萨克斯饰演。

劳工党禁止追踪狩猎“完全错误”

卡梅伦呼吁首相与英国农村建立桥梁，且不可忽视其重要性

作者：帕特里克·加尔布雷斯 环境记者

卡梅伦勋爵将劳工党禁止追踪狩猎的行为描述为“完全错误”。

这位前首相敦促英国农村地区“团结一致，共同战斗”，同时警告安迪·伯纳姆不要“忘记乡村的重要性”。

他表示，劳工党在禁止狐狸狩猎时，“发明”了追踪狩猎作为替代方案，但现在却“想要立法禁止它”。

劳工党在其2024年竞选宣言中誓言禁止追踪狩猎（即猎犬追踪预先铺设的动物气味）。今年早些时候，该党提出了禁止此项活动的立法。

首相曾表示他“全力支持”禁令，但由于选民的强烈抵制，政府的计划于上周被推迟。

卡梅伦勋爵是在向一群聚集在威斯敏斯特启动“乡村运动”（Campaign for the Countryside）的猎场管理员、猎手、农民和地主发表讲话时提出批评的，他呼吁伯纳姆政府与英国农村建立桥梁。

基尔·斯塔默爵士被广泛认为在追踪狩猎、极具争议的家庭农场税以及最近限制雉鸡狩猎的举措上，正与英国农村“开战”。

卡梅伦勋爵表示：“作为首相，我学会了永远不要忘记英国农村的重要性。”

此次活动恰逢一项新民调结果公布，该结果显示，仅有15%的“农村社区居民认为劳工党关心在那里生活和工作的人”。

这项由OBR international对2,000多人进行的民调还发现，如果劳工党重新调整与英国农村的关系，超过28%的乡村居民会考虑投票给劳工党。

卡梅伦勋爵称家庭农场税是“一件愚蠢的事情”。他表示，大多数农民没有盈利，且“资产就是农场”。劳工党大佬

布兰基特勋爵也出席了会议。他表示，“关于乡村和农村生活的教育至关重要”。

与卡梅伦勋爵一样，布兰基特勋爵对禁止追踪狩猎表示担忧。他说：“我认为攻击追踪狩猎是一个错误。”

布兰基特勋爵还就家庭农场税对劳工党进行了质询。他说：“征收家庭农场税是财政部犯的一个错误，并由我所在的政党提出。”

劳工党的这项税收导致威斯敏斯特外部出现了数月的拖拉机抗议活动。当BBC询问他是否反对这些行动时，布兰基特勋爵表示，政府需要将拖拉机从农民的草坪上移走，两组人员应当友好地接触。

他随后告诉《每日电讯报》：“劳工党在家庭农场税问题上有所行动，问题是他们是否会进一步做出调整？”

布兰基特勋爵表示，他认为土地

“伯纳姆谈论每个邮政编码区的公平，但邮政编码并不会在柏油路结束的地方停止”

那些押注于农地的投资者，而非农民，应当缴纳税款。

影子农业大臣罗比·摩尔（Robbie Moore）告诉《每日电讯报》：“现任政府实际上是在攻击乡村。因此，我们绝对应该团结一致。”

“我们需要确保政策制定者和立法者倾听声音。”

本月早些时候，政府对用于狩猎的土地数量表示担忧。

英国狩猎与保护协会（British Association of Shooting & Conservation）对此反击称，射击者在从事这项运动的同时，管理着近 2000 万英亩的栖息地。该协会的加里·杜兰（Garry Doolan）告诉《每日电讯报》，该团体不确定劳工党对狩猎的厌恶“源自何处”。

他说：“我们所知道的是，安迪·伯纳姆谈论每个邮政编码区的公平，但邮政编码并不会在柏油路结束的地方停止。他需要审视英国乡村，并倾听英国乡村人民的声音。”

法拉奇可能被强制退还巨额捐款

（）已确定。英国工会大会（TUC）总书记保罗·诺瓦克（Paul Nowak）昨天在布赖顿举行的工会年会上告诉代表们：“不要让任何人告诉你，护理工作者通过工会每年捐出几英镑，与一个由亿万富翁买断并支付报酬的政党之间有任何相似之处——任何相似之处。我们需要就如何清理政治环境进行一次真正的对话，这种对话不能将工人推向边缘，但必须阻止超级富豪腐蚀我们的政治。”

安格拉·雷纳（Angela Rayner）也试图将工会交给劳工党的资金与改革党（Reform）的巨额捐款区分开来。她在会议上表示：“他们怎么敢将几个加密货币亿万富翁的资金与工会成员的捐款存根相比较？我们所能拥有的监管最严格的政治资金——这与几个试图买断我们民主制度的离岸亿万富翁截然不同。”政府的《人民代表法案》（Representation of People Bill）旨在对海外来源的捐款设定上限，并使法律追溯至 3 月 25 日关于政党资金的赖克罗夫特审查（Rycroft Review）之日。

据报道，劳工党目前正在考虑加强该法案，使改革党的加密货币捐赠者接受“增强型居住地测试”。这将迫使他们在进行捐赠之前，证明自己在英国已居住了“持续”的一段时间。

法拉奇先生坚持认为这两笔捐款都是合法的，但雷纳女士周日暗示，如果这些捐款违反新立法，改革党可能会被强制将其退还。此前曾为外籍人士的哈本先生（Mr Harborne）和德洛先生（Mr Delo）均于今年搬回英国，但改革党拒绝透露具体时间。

在昨天由上议院审议的拟议法律中，外籍人士每年的捐款将受到 1 限制（即 £1），且该限制同样适用于他们搬回英国后的第一年。

德洛先生此前常驻香港，但在 4 月份告诉《每日电讯报》，他将返回英国以规避对海外捐赠者的限制。哈本先生此前常驻泰国，但于 6 月在汉普郡登记投票。

法拉奇先生表示，雷纳女士周日关于改革党可能被强制退还资金的说法表明了双重标准。他说：“让我给你们提供一些背景。自 2010 年以来，三个传统政党已筹集了近 10 亿英镑。因此，这些捐款的作用将是帮助我们将自己置于与其他政党平等竞争的地位。”

工会试图修改《平等法》以支持跨性别权利

作者：Genevieve Holl-Allen 政治记者

工会活动人士将敦促安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）修改《平等法》，以支持跨性别权利。

一名工会负责人表示，要摆脱遵守关于单性别空间中跨性别者新指南的“唯一方法”，就是确保修改平等法律的文本。

劳工党诺丁汉东区议员纳迪亚·惠特姆（Nadia Whittome）表示，她正与“由跨性别者领导的组织”讨论如何开展活动以全面修订该法案。

该法案允许在拥有九项受保护特征（包括年龄、种族、性别和性取向）之一的情况下，就歧视问题提起申诉。最高法院去年裁定，该法案中的“性别”（sex）是指生物学性别，而非性别认同。

随后，平等与人权委员会（EHRC）发布了单性别空间指南，禁止出生为男性的跨性别女性进入女性更衣室和洗手间。

惠特姆女士昨天在布赖顿举行的工会大会（TUC）边缘活动上表示，EHRC 的指南“已经糟糕到了极点”。她告诉工会代表：“我们需要的是法律的改变，以便法律能够正确保护跨性别者的权利、隐私和包容性。这意味着要修改《平等法》以及其他相关立法。”

政府发言人表示，政府将“维护并保护”《平等法》，而不会“削弱它”。发言人赞扬该立法是“现代英国历史上最显著的成就之一”，也是“数百万人们日常生活中的静默守护者”。

曾领导议会努力推翻该指南的惠特姆女士表示，她此前“非常不情愿”呼吁这样做，因为这会“打开潘多拉之盒”。

“这意味着，本质上，其他在这一问题及其他问题上持有非常保守观点的人也将开始尝试这样做。但我认为不幸的是，由于最高法院的判决，在我看来……这是目前唯一可行的方法。”

保守党方面表示，这是“那些从未接受最高法院裁决的劳工党议员的绝望之举”。

劳工党议员纳迪亚·惠特姆

女性与平等事务影子大臣乔伊·莫里西（Joy Morrisey）表示：“法院的裁决极其明确，劳工党议员和工会应该支持该裁决，而不是试图破坏它。”

权利慈善机构 Sex Matters 的负责人玛雅·福斯特（Maya Forstater）表示：“工会官员试图通过修改反歧视法来危及女性权利，这简直令人震惊。”

“《平等法》保护人们不会因为是跨性别者而被解雇、被拒绝提供住房或受到骚扰。这唯一可能导致的结果就是拆除对女性和女孩基于性别的权利的保护。”

政府发言人表示：“政府同样致力于保护所有 LGBT+ 人群的权利、尊严和安全，以及

改革党不容买卖，若各政党想在资金问题上较量，我们准备好了

英国维持着一套强有力的立法框架来保护 LGBT+ 群体。我们加强了对跨性别者的保护，并推进了禁止包含跨性别者的转化治疗实践。

奈杰尔·法拉奇

政治建制派对改革英国党（Reform UK）收到的创纪录捐款所做出的反应，既在预料之中，又充分暴露了其本质。

两名英国公民，克里斯托弗·哈本（Christopher Harborne）和本·德洛（Ben Delo），每人向该党捐赠了 3600 万英镑m。总计 7200 万英镑m 的资金，超过了去年英国所有政党捐款的总和。这笔钱将仅用于一个目的：使我的政党专业化，并为政府制定一套严肃的执政计划。

两名捐赠者都明确表示，他们不要求任何回报。没有贵族爵位，没有骑士勋衔，也没有合同。他们仅仅认为英国需要改变，而改革英国党是唯一准备实现这一改变的政党。

不要误会，根据现行法律，这些捐款是允许的。这两位个人完全有权提供这些赠款，但主要政党们现在却惊慌失措，因为他们绝对恐惧这笔资金将使政治竞争环境变得公平。

在上次大选中，劳工党花费了超过 3000 万英镑m，保守党花费了 2300 万英镑m。而改革党仅花费了 550 万英镑m。这些捐款将帮助我们与其他政党处于同一起跑线上，而他们对此极其不满。他们会不择手段地将我们排除在外，现在正试图抹黑我们，并诋毁那些慷慨捐款的人的名誉。

保守党与金融城及巨型企业有着历史渊源，长期以来一直有这样一种做法：将每一任党库房主管（他们每个人都是大额捐赠者）任命为上议院议员（如彼得·克鲁达斯、

“改革党不会因为受欢迎而道歉，也不会因为获得相信我们的人的合法资助而道歉”

詹姆斯·卢普顿、迈克尔·法默）。其大额捐赠者也是如此。有一长串名单记录了那些向保守党捐款并获得骑士勋衔、贵族爵位或其他各类荣誉的人。

即使是那些自命清高的自由民主党也深陷其中。斯特拉斯堡勋爵（Lord Strasburger）向他们捐赠了 70 万英镑，你猜怎么着？次年，他就被授予了终身贵族爵位。

安吉拉·雷纳（Angela Rayner）暗示，劳工党可能会对富裕个人的政治捐款设定上限。

坦率地说，这简直是令人愤慨。这会让英国看起来像个旧共产主义国家。

此外，并不是说劳工党没有从富有的资助者那里获益。生态大亨戴尔·文斯（Dale Vince）捐赠了超过 550 万英镑m。戴维·塞恩斯伯里勋爵（Lord (David) Sainsbury）向他们提供了 1500 万英镑m。更不用说雷纳在工会中的亲密朋友们是如何用金钱填满劳工党的口袋了。

仅联合工会（Unite union）近年来就向劳工党提供了超过 5000 万英镑。如果说有人为了政治目的而提供现金，那绝对是工会。

因此，我想警告劳工党：如果你现在试图禁止我们的捐赠者，那么一旦我们掌权，我们一定会禁止来自贸易工会的资金。我不想走这条路，但这是我们准备好去做的事情。

本·德洛和克里斯托弗·哈本都不会获得贵族爵位。他们不会获得优待，也不会影响政策，因为我们不容买卖。所有这些喧嚣不过是酸葡萄心理。改革英国党不会因为受欢迎而道歉，也不会因为获得相信我们所做之事的人的合法资助而道歉。如果劳工党或其他主要政党想在资金问题上开战，改革党很乐意迎接这场战斗。

斯塔默解雇的高级公务员获得 86 万英镑 遣散费

作者：Pieter Snepvangers 政治记者

一名高级公务员在被基尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）解雇后，获得了一笔 86 万英镑 的遣散费。

前内阁秘书克里斯·沃莫尔德爵士（Sir Chris Wormald）在曼德尔森勋爵（Lord Mandelson）丑闻爆发后离职时，最初被认为获得了一份 26 万英镑 的冗员补偿方案。

然而，政府账目现在显示，克里斯爵士获得了 859,495 英镑 的遣散费，其年薪在 22.5 万英镑 至 23 万英镑 之间。他是英国任职时间最短的高级公务员之一，仅在职 14 个月。

《电讯报》获悉，这一创纪录的数字考虑到了他未来的收入损失以及巨额的养老金缴款。

部分议员无需纳税，可就费用津贴申请新的旅游税——该金额超过了克里斯爵士的合同权利——此前他被告知，将此事“结案符合公众利益”。时任首相同意“就此而言，公众利益已得到满足”。

克里斯爵士在今年 2 月成为英国任职时间最短的内阁秘书，他在唐宁街 10 号的一次人事大调整中，在任职 14 个月后离职。

他是曼德尔森勋爵丑闻后离开唐宁街的第三位高知名度人物，此前离职的还包括斯塔默爵士的幕僚长摩根·麦克斯威尼（Morgan McSweeney）和通讯主管蒂姆·艾伦（Tim Allan）。

当时，由于杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）文件的公布，揭露了曼德尔森勋爵与该恋童癖者的深厚友谊，斯塔默爵士的工作陷入了危机。

尽管普通家庭被迫为过夜住宿支付征收额，但议员们仍能就费用津贴申请劳工党的旅游税。

在安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）本周通过新旅游税计划后，劳工党市长计划在全国范围内对过夜住宿征收最高 5% 的税款。

独立议会标准局（Ipsa）确认，这将允许议员在伦敦 £230、英国其他地区 £165 的现有每晚限额内，全额回收该税款成本。

该监管机构表示，在决定未来几年是否增加津贴之前，将对“整体市场状况”进行“审查”。

如果议员因工作需要必须过夜，他们被允许按不同标准报销在伦敦、英国其他地区和欧洲的酒店账单费用。

伦敦市长 汗勋爵（Lord Khan） 已经表示，他将 行使伯纳姆先生 （首相）将授予 地区市长的权力

实施旅游税，将其上限设定为首都住宿费用的 5%。英格兰绝大多数地区市长也支持该税项。

去年有消息披露，费用规则被修改得更为宽松，以保护议员免于为第二套房支付 100% 的市政税，批评者称此举是“将特权置于公平之上”。

据《金融时报》报道，应内阁办公室常务秘书凯特·利特尔（Cat Little）的要求，最终结算金额有所下调。

她在给斯塔默爵士的一份便函中写道：“拟议的奖励金额高于克里斯·沃莫尔德爵士根据合同有权获得的部分。然而，我被告知，鉴于这是一个在极短通知时间内达成协议的、高知名度且唯一职位的离职，这一水平的结算是必要的。”

今年 2 月，高级公务员安东尼娅·罗密欧女爵士（Dame Antonia Romeo）接替克里斯爵士担任内阁秘书。

他的离职此前经历了数月的负面简报，在这些简报中，他被描述为“怀特霍尔集体思维的化身”。

最初认为克里斯爵士的遣散方案将花费纳税人约 26 万英镑，唐宁街当时并未对此数字提出异议。保守党将这一数字描述为“巨额赔付”，凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）在 X 上发帖称：“内阁秘书是基尔·斯塔默为了自保而抛弃的最新一个人。”

克里斯爵士获得的这笔款项几乎是此前给予财政部最高级别官员的记录的两倍，后者在利兹·特拉斯就任首相几天后被撤职。作为特拉斯女士旨在撤换常任秘书并改变“财政部正统观念”之改革的一部分，汤姆·斯考拉爵士在2022年收到了一笔33.5 万英镑的离职补偿金。

内阁办公室的一位发言人表示：“我们不对人力资源事务发表评论。内阁办公室的常任秘书收到了时任首相的部长指令，要求向前内阁秘书支付该款项。他们的往来信函属于公开记录。”

斯特鲁根：为了乔治，应废除君主制

前苏格兰领导人表示，废除王室将是对王位继承人的恩惠并帮助他们获得自由

作者：Anita Singh 艺术与娱乐编辑

尼古拉·斯特鲁根（Nicola Sturgeon）表示，应当废除君主制，以将乔治王子从成为国王的负担中解脱出来。

这位苏格兰前首席部长表示，这位13岁的王子无法掌控自己的命运，这是不公平的，并建议废除君主制将是一种体贴之举。

斯特鲁根女士在第四频道（Channel 4）的一部新纪录片《王室：离职时间》（The Royals: Time To Go）中阐述了她的观点。该片由公开主张共和制的约翰·汉弗里斯（John Humphrys）主持。

斯特鲁根女士表示，她对王室成员持有“极大的同情”。“事实上，我认为废除君主制的论据之一，就是为了王室成员的利益，例如乔治王子。”

“那个孩子并不了解其他生活方式。他的未来注定了一种他无法选择的生活。这真的公平吗？”她问道。

“因此，我实际上认为，废除君主制的论据之一，就是让未来的王室成员免于承担这种负担。”

上周，乔治王子在伊顿公学的第一天被拍到，他正追随其父亲——威尔士亲王——的脚步。

第四频道为该纪录片（今晚播出）委托进行的一项调查发现，英国超过四分之一的人支持废除君主制。

这项针对2,000多人的Survation民调发现，28%的人支持废除该制度，而在18至24岁的人群中，这一比例上升至38%。约44%的人尚未决定。

民调显示，安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎的行为及其与恋童癖金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）的关联，是形成负面态度的关键因素。

近三分之二（64%）的人表示，国王应当被要求像其他人一样缴纳所得税（国王确实缴纳所得税，但属于自愿性质）；57%的人认为他应该缴纳遗产税；49%的人表示他应当被要求公布其私人收入的详细信息。

曾任BBC Radio 4《今日》（Today）节目主持人的汉弗里斯表示，受父亲影响，他一生都是共和主义者。“他发誓永远不会向任何男人或女人低头。”

他在节目中说：“他是个共和主义者，并始终坚持共和主义，我也成了一名共和主义者。”

他回忆起曾受伊丽莎白二世邀请共进午餐，在用餐结束后，他尝试争取一次采访机会。

汉弗里斯说，女王礼貌地倾听后回答道：“不行。而且，汉弗里斯先生，如果有人真的会做那样的事，那绝对不会是你。”该节目还包含了一个焦点小组，成员们被要求建议如果君主制被废除，他们希望看到哪位英国人担任选举产生的国家元首。

朱迪·登奇（Dame Judi Dench）和哈里·凯恩（Harry Kane）被提及，随后该小组一致认为（艾伦）舒格勋爵（Lord (Alan) Sugar）是最佳选择。

据报道，在斯特鲁根的丈夫彼得·默雷尔（Peter Murrell）因挪用公款入狱后，斯特鲁根女士因涉嫌处理赃物被举报至警方。

运营支持独立博客“苏格兰之翼”（Wings over Scotland）的斯图尔特·坎贝尔（Stuart Campbell）表示，他已致信苏格兰警方提出正式投诉。

坎贝尔先生在博客中写道，斯特鲁根女士“多年来一直持有大量高价值物品，这些物品是由其丈夫使用从苏格兰民族党（SNP）挪用的资金购买的”。

梅根在返回英国后获得新的安保审查

（）已要求这对夫妇尽可能详细地提供他们的日常行程。据了解，相关部门解释称，需要根据该家庭在英国新生活的细节来建立一个“生活模式”。

这将包括每日的行程，例如接送孩子上学、涉及的具体地址、时间以及采取的各种路线，以及家庭所有成员的其他常规活动和任何其他相关事项。

本报上周披露，接送孩子上学是萨塞克斯公爵夫妇最担心的安保问题。

由于每天在同一时间往返于同一地点的重复性，由公爵和公爵夫人主要亲自承担的每日通勤带来了特定的挑战。“这绝对是最令人担忧的领域，”一位朋友表示，“它制造了最多的危险。”

预计委员会将在审查完成后再次开会讨论审查结果。

这将是公爵夫人自2018年与公爵结婚并作为王室成员获得警察保护以来的首次评估。周日，公爵夫人在社交媒体上发布了一段视频剪辑，初步展示了她在英国的新生活，描绘了一幅英国乡村的田园诗般景象——画面包括熊熊燃烧的炉火、泥泞的水洼、雨衣和雨靴。

预计她将很少公开露面，不过第一次露面最早可能就在本周，她将与丈夫一同出席首届 Invictus Spirit 奖项颁奖礼。

今天庆祝 42 岁生日的公爵多年来一直争取在英国获得由纳税人资助的警察保护权。

8 月，公爵亲自联系了内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈茂德（Shabana Mahmood），恳请给出答复。

当萨塞克斯夫妇将返回英国的计划告知委员会时，他们获得了临时性的、轻量级的安保措施。

公爵获得了一名警察联络员的联系电话，但除此之外依赖于他自己的私人安保团队。据称，在为家人争取保护的长期斗争中，他感到“麻木”了。

糕点大师保罗·好莱坞（Paul Hollywood）与评委尼格拉·劳森（Nigella Lawson）在《英国烘焙大赛》（The Great British Bake Off）的拍摄现场开玩笑。劳森将接替普鲁·莱斯（Prue Leith）女爵的职位；在提前预览了这部 Channel 4 热门剧集最新一季（下周二开播）后，她已经得到了评论家的赞赏。

国王说服乌干达在威胁退出后重新加入无敌勇士运动会

作者：维多利亚·沃德 (Victoria Ward)

国王最资深的助手已敦促乌干达重新考虑退出哈里王子发起的无敌勇士运动会（Invictus Games）的决定。

在乌干达军方负责人上周宣布该国将不再参加此次活动后，国王的私人秘书克莱夫·奥尔登爵士（Sir Clive Alderton）介入了此事。

他表示，乌干达不会参加一个没有得到国王“批准”的活动。此前，白金汉宫发出了一封信函，确认萨塞克斯公爵夫妇是“私人公民”，并不代表君主。

这场混乱似乎促使宫廷方面介入以提供“明确说明”。在与乌干达武装部队负责人、总统之子穆胡齐·凯内鲁加巴将军（Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba）的电话交谈中，克莱夫爵士坚称国王对于该国参加无敌勇士运动会“没有问题”，并鼓励他恢复对明年赛事的准备工作。

凯内鲁加巴将军表示，他“感谢国王传递的信息以及白金汉宫就此事提供的明确说明”，并同意撤销退出活动的决定。

宫廷消息人士确认了这次通话，并将其描述为系统正常运作的一个例子。据了解，王室助手们对乌干达人的礼貌与理解表示“感激”，并坚称他们很乐意为任何需要明确说明的人提供帮助。然而，公爵可能会将这一进展视为证明，即白金汉宫为了澄清其身份而发送的信函反而造成了混乱。

该指导意见是根据国王的命令发送给政府和军方“关键利益相关者”的，确认公爵夫妇是“私人公民”，并不代表君主。

信中称，这对夫妇的慈善工作是“个人事务”，且是以“私人身份开展”的。

两天后，凯内鲁加巴将军在 X 上写道：“为了不被误认为反对我们深感敬畏的英国国王查尔斯三世陛下，乌干达特此退出无敌勇士运动会。我们将不参加任何没有得到陛下批准的活动。”

他告诉《泰晤士报》：“国防部内部有一些派系支持哈里-梅根的那套胡言乱语。我必须立即予以制止。我支持君主。就此为止。”公爵将凯内鲁加巴将军的决定归咎于这封信。一名消息人士告诉《每日电讯报》，无论是否出于意图，这显然是那封在未咨询该夫妇的情况下“仓促发出”的指导意见所导致的“结果”。

无敌勇士运动会基金会首席执行官罗布·欧文（Rob Owen）表示：“我们欢迎乌干达确认将继续成为无敌勇士社区的一员，并参加 2027 年伯明翰无敌勇士运动会这一消息。”

威廉：应对气候变化不能采取“循序渐进”的行动

作者：汉娜·弗内斯 (Hannah Furness)，皇室编辑

威尔士亲王警告称，应对气候变化，采取“循序渐进”的行动已不再足够。

作为“地球之shot”（Earthshot）环境奖的创始人，威廉王子表示“这场危机需要紧迫感”，但公众应保持乐观，相信解决方案就在眼前。

在经历了一个被他描述为“毁灭性”且“坦率地说令人担忧”的野火之夏后，亲王在文章中写道，这些火灾是“气候变暖相关风险的有力提醒”。

今年11月，亲王将出席第六届年度“地球之shot”奖颁奖典礼，该奖项将向五位为环境问题提供解决方案的获胜者颁发 100 万英镑m。在给《独立报》（The Independent）的来信中，亲王写道：“这场危机需要紧迫感。但如果不对变革的可能性持有信念，其规模可能会让我们感到不堪重负。乐观主义让我们坚信我们的行动可以产生影响。两者我们都需要。

这就是我所说的‘紧迫的乐观主义’：在清晰地看到危险的同时，相信我们应对的能力。在历史上第一次，我们最大的挑战不再是寻找答案，而是部署并扩大那些我们已知有效的解决方案。

“这不是天真或盲目的希望。这是基于证据的乐观。我相信，我们的应对能力将成为这十年来最伟大的故事。”

亲王强调，他不想就气候变化发表说教，也不想要求人们让自己的生活变得更加艰难。

一名发言人表示：“他或‘地球之shot’奖永远不会做的一件事，就是告诉人们不要乘坐飞机或不要开车。”

“地球之shot”奖之前的获胜者和入围者包括：一家用海藻制造外卖容器以避免塑料填埋的公司；一种能将微塑料从生态系统中过滤掉的洗衣机过滤器；以及一家将木炭改为太阳能的印度熨烫企业。

巴勒斯坦行动组织活动人士在获准参加婚礼后潜逃

电讯报记者报道

一名因策划暴力袭击而被定罪的“巴勒斯坦行动”（Palestine Action）支持者在获准参加其兄弟婚礼后潜逃。

来自利物浦的34岁男子肖恩·米德尔布罗（Sean Middlebrough）是八名被指控组织袭击埃尔比特系统公司（Elbit Systems）工厂的人员之一。该公司是一家与以色列有关的武器制造商，工厂位于布里斯托附近的比尔顿（Filton），袭击发生在2024年8月6日。

在从6月开始的为期两个月的审判期间，米德尔布罗在获准出狱三天参加婚礼后潜逃。法院已签发逮捕令，但他目前仍处于潜逃状态，外界推测他可能已逃离英国。

审判在他缺席的情况下继续进行，而他成为了该次审判中唯一一名因袭击埃尔比特公司而被定罪的被告。由于陪审团未能就其余七名被告达成裁决，陪审团已被解散，这七名被告现在面临2028年6月的重新审判。

陪审员获悉，在埃尔比特公司遭到袭击时，这八人均不在现场，但他们的计划包括编制设备清单、进行侦察以及购买工具和武器。据称，这八名被告通过策划袭击并确保其得以执行，以造成“最大程度的破坏”并使埃尔比特公司“尽可能长时间地停业”，因此对所发生的事情“负有同等责任”。

在袭击过程中，其他“巴勒斯坦行动”支持者驾驶一辆旧监狱货车冲进现场并损坏了内部设备，造成120 万英镑m的损失。

米德尔布罗被指控向另一人转账£890用于购买袭击装备，包括头灯、背包、大锤、锤子、安全护目镜、头盔和螺栓剪。据称，他也是前往布里斯托的人员之一，当时他们在一家露营地和一家Airbnb预订了两个会合点。

法庭获悉，他们于8月4日抵达，并在两天后袭击发生后的几个小时内离开了布里斯托地区。所有八名被告均否认有不当行为。

在昨天的听证会上，帕特里克·菲尔德（Patrick Field）法官表示，对其共同被告的重新审判将于2028年6月19, 起在伍尔维奇刑事法院（Woolwich Crown Court）举行。

以色列称米利班在制裁问题上缺乏诚意

耶路撒冷官员称外交大臣在英国惩罚性措施的时间节点上误导了他们

政治编辑 托尼·戴弗（Tony Diver）报道

《电讯报》获悉，以色列认为外交大臣埃德·米利班（Ed Miliband）宣布对约旦河西岸定居点实施制裁具有“ ulterior motive”（ ulterior motive），旨在从绿党手中争取选民。

尽管米利班计划在次日与以色列同行会面讨论该问题，但他仍于8月19, 在向下议院发表的声明中宣布，打算制裁参与非法定居点的公司。

这些制裁导致了以色列与英国数十年以来最大的裂痕，并导致英国驻东耶路撒冷领事馆关闭。该领事馆实际上是英国与巴勒斯坦人的外交接触点，随后被以色列作为报复而关闭。反对者

“由于英国决定出于 ulterior motives（别有用心）而采取制裁，谈判从未进行”

一些人士表示，宣布制裁是为了在下个月的工党年度会议以及前首相基尔·斯塔默爵士的伦敦选区霍本和圣潘克拉斯（Holborn and St Pancras）的补选之前，提升工党在巴以冲突问题上的信誉，目前绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）正在该选区竞选。

外交渠道告诉《电报报》，尽管与以色列外交部长吉迪翁·萨尔（Gideon Sa’ar）就定居点问题一直在进行私人对话，但米利班先生仍匆忙实施了“预先决定”的制裁。

两人首次通话是在 8 月 11 日，当时萨尔先生向外交部（FCDO）保证，以色列在 10 月 27 日大选之前不会开始在约旦河西岸启动 El 住宅建设项目。

该项目包括开发约 3,400 栋新住宅，威胁到约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦定居点的连贯性，并被以色列部长描述为“扼杀”巴勒斯坦建国前景的手段。米利班先生在与以色列方面首次通话后表示，他提出了“定居者暴力升级和定居点扩张”的问题。

据了解，他与萨尔先生同意在 8 月 20 日就定居点问题进行进一步的“坦诚讨论”。然而，在米利班先生 8 月 19 日向下议院表示，由于以色列发布了 El 合同的招标，他决定推进制裁后，该通话被取消了。

外交渠道表示，这一决定相当于放弃了与以色列政府的对话，并错失了就扩张问题进行谈判的机会。

一名消息人士说：“后续对话原定于 8 月 20 日 ... 但从未发生，因为英方已经决定出于 ulterior motives（别有用心）而采取制裁。这一决定实际上是预先决定好的。”

实施制裁的决定遭到了英国犹太团体和首席拉比的批评。

《电报报》获悉，外交部公务员曾警告米利班先生，不要在以色列大选前如此之近的时间宣布制裁，因为这将导致以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的剧烈反应。

外交渠道表示，英国领事馆的关闭将严重限制英国在约旦河西岸的存在，并影响其在伊朗轰炸袭击期间撤离人员的能力。

制裁是与法国和加拿大协调一致的，尽管以色列将其外交回应针对英国，认为米利班先生主导了这一决定，并利用其他国家为英国提供外交掩护。

官员此前曾警告米利班先生的前任伊薇特·库珀（Yvette Cooper），在没有其他西方政府支持的情况下制裁以色列，将使英国面临特拉维夫的报复。

外交部发言人表示：“这些说法完全是错误的。非法定居点的加速扩张正使未来实现两国方案的进展面临风险，这就是为什么我们提前采取措施应对这一道德紧急情况。仅在过去一年中，联合国就表示有 16 名巴勒斯坦人被定居者杀害，并记录了 1,500 多起与定居者相关的暴力事件。尽管如此，以色列政府仍批准了 104 个新定居点。”

伯纳姆之父在与阿尔茨海默症斗争后去世

作者：丹尼尔·马丁 (Daniel Martin) 副政治编辑

唐宁街10号宣布，安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 的父亲已经去世。罗伊·伯纳姆 (Roy Burnham) 曾是一名电话工程师，长期患有阿尔茨海默症，享年 86 岁。

首相将他父亲的病情视为他决心改革英格兰破败的社会护理系统的原因。

他表示，由于父亲在护理院生活的经历，他将投入“相当多的政治资本”来改善该系统。

首相取消了昨天和今天的行程。他原定于昨天下午在唐宁街10号接待商业领袖，并计划于今天在英国工会大会 (TUC) 上发表讲话。

自由民主党党魁埃德·戴维爵士 (Sir Ed Davey) 表示：“我对首相失去父亲深表同情。从我们的交谈来看，他似乎是一位非常出色的人。在他们共同哀悼之际，我的祈祷与他的整个家庭同在。”

伯纳姆先生此前曾表示，由于病情的进展，他的父亲并不知道他已经成为了首相。

但他在上个月透露，护理院的工作人员说，在他们将电视机放在罗伊的椅子前让他观看儿子抵达唐宁街的画面后，罗伊曾“瞬间”意识到了这一点。

护理院的经理告诉他：“我们都知道你大约什么时候会走在唐宁街上，所以我们让罗伊坐在椅子上，把电视机放在他面前，我们六个人围在他身边，都说：‘罗伊，看。’”

伯纳姆先生说：“她说他转过头，在那一瞬间……我们认为他知道了。”

他在8月份参加伊丽莎白·戴 (Elizabeth Day) 的《如何失败》(How to Fail) 播客节目时提到，他在就任首相六天后访问了父亲的护理院。他还透露，在7月发表首次演讲后，他在唐宁街10号外拥抱母亲艾琳 (Eileen) 时，他们一直在谈论他的父亲。

在那个月晚些时候的一次演讲中，伯纳姆先生承诺将帮助“我的父亲以及当前社会护理系统中数百万像他一样的人”。他补充道：“许多来自其他国家的人一直在照顾我的父亲。我想让这些护理人员知道，我们感激你们。我们感激你们为支持这里的人所做的一切。我能说出这句话真的很重要。有太多值得自豪的地方。”

首相赞扬护理人员激发了其父亲最好的一面，并补充道：“我有时会观察人们如何与我的父亲沟通，他们能够捕捉到他旧日性格中的某个瞬间。这是因为他们引导对话的方式，这是一种惊人的天赋。”

伯纳姆先生表示，他希望引入一项国家护理服务 (National Care Service)，这意味着护理工作者将获得更高的薪资和更好的培训，并与国民医疗服务体系 (NHS) 进行更紧密的整合。

以色列人枪击儿童，医生在手术台上告知犹太患者

（）工作人员。建议的措施包括强制性的反犹主义培训，以及对可能在患者中产生偏见认知的政治符号进行限制。但英国医学会投票反对这些建议，并寻求“立即暂停”，警告称这将影响言论自由。

“反犹主义运动”（Campaign Against Antisemitism）的纪录片表明，患者中对于自己将如何被对待的担忧日益增加，有些人试图隐藏自己的犹太身份。

由该活动团体委托进行的民意调查发现，近三分之二的英国犹太人担心会因为自己的身份而在国民医疗服务体系（NHS）中受到不平等的对待。

在 10 月 7 日哈马斯袭击以色列以及随后的加沙战争以来使用过 NHS 的受访者中，超过 4 成（即 10 人中 4 人以上）的人表示他们隐瞒了犹太身份，包括隐藏犹太标志或避免提及自己的背景。

约三分之一的人表示，因为自己是犹太人，在接受 护理时感到不舒服。这项民意调查于去年 11 月进行，共收到来自英国犹太社区的 4,490 份有效回复。

同样出现在纪录片中的犹太男子索尔·弗里曼（Saul Freeman）表示，当一名外科医生在为他切除额头上的癌变肿块时，据称开始发表反犹言论，这让他担心自己的安全。

他表示，在话题转向加沙之前，诊疗过程完全正常。他指控该顾问医生称犹太人枪击儿童的“头部或腿部”，并且“每天为了自己的娱乐而变换位置”。

谢菲尔德教学医院 基金会信托基金（Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust）的首席医疗官简·麦克尼古拉斯（Jane McNicholas）表示：“弗里曼先生已向我们提出了他的担忧，我们正将其作为紧急事项进行审查。我们非常严肃地对待任何此类指控，并将做出相应回应。”

该纪录片还讲述了一名犹太患者的经历，该患者发现自己曾由一名全科医生（GP）诊治，而该医生曾领导一个后来被禁的恐怖组织。

瓦希德·阿西夫·谢达（Wahid Asif Shaida）医生曾是以“阿卜杜勒·瓦希德”（Abdul Wahid）之名担任希兹布图赫里尔（Hizb ut-Tahrir）英国分会主席。政府于 2024, 年 1 月禁止该伊斯兰组织，称其具有反犹主义倾向且“积极推广和鼓励恐怖主义”。

谢达医生在禁令发布后被暂停 执业，但 England 在六个月后取消了他的停职。一个小组发现没有足够证据将谢达医生从其执业人员名单（一份核准的医疗专业人员登记册）中除名，且没有证据表明他在该组织被禁后仍与其有关联。

难以想象在建立在同情心之上的 NHS 中竟有如此深重的仇恨

吉迪恩·法尔特 (Gideon Falter)

NHS 不仅仅是一个医疗服务提供者。它已成为英国国家认同的一部分。它将我们凝聚在一起——这是我们每个人所做的承诺，即我们将维持这个组织，以便在任何一个人跌倒时，它都能接住我们。

从我们出生的那一刻起，直到临终前的日子，NHS 触及我们每一个人。它贯穿我们的生活，并在我们最脆弱的时候陪伴我们。这就是为什么“反反犹主义运动”（Campaign Against Antisemitism）关于医疗保健领域反犹情绪的开创性纪录片中所揭露的内容，在直觉层面上令人感到震惊。

这并非一个关于偶尔失误的故事，而是一个关于恶性仇恨的故事，而这种仇恨竟然存在于本应成为同情心堡垒的 NHS 之中。我们听到了犹太患者对他们的外科医生的恐惧，以及犹太护士和医生被他们奉献一生的医院所排挤的经历。

我们发现的并非零星的反犹主义爆发，而是一种恶性的制度性失效，涵盖了从实习医生到本应作为最后一道防线的监管机构的所有人员。

一名犹太患者在手术台上遭受其外科医生的反犹虐待。一名犹太护士遭到同事的纳粹礼对待。一名犹太患者由一个现已被禁的伊斯兰恐怖组织的领导人治疗。一名资深的犹太医学教授收到反犹死亡威胁。一名犹太急救工作者遭到同事的肢体攻击。

在每一个转折点，当他们向其雇主——那个刻意遵守多样性、公平性和包容性（DEI）标准的 NHS 寻求帮助时，他们被辜负了——随后，他们也被监管机构辜负了。

那名犹太护士仍然与那个行纳粹礼的同事共事。那名犹太患者在手术结束前不得不保持沉默，但随后被告知，他永远不会知道 NHS 是否采取了行动。

这是一部很难制作的纪录片。我们的调查与执法主管斯蒂芬·西尔弗曼（Stephen Silverman）告诉我，我们收到了数百通来自犹太人的求助电话，他们遭到了 NHS 及其监管机构的虐待或抛弃。他和他的团队在一个个案例中辛苦钻研，发现许多向我们求助的人不愿出镜，因为他们感到害怕。从业者害怕他们的同事，而更糟糕的是，患者仍在接受一个令他们恐惧万分的医生的治疗。

我们很难想象自己所听到的那种仇恨之深。

护士谢莉·利普曼（Shelley Lipman）在透露她的纹身是希伯来语后，遭到了纳粹礼对待。

难道我们的 NHS 真的已经变成了极端主义的温床？我们对犹太社区进行了民意调查，发现情况比我们的轶事证据所显示的还要糟糕。绝大多数英国犹太人担心无法获得平等的医疗护理。

在 2023 年 10 月 7 日哈马斯暴行发生以来，使用过 NHS 的英国犹太人中，有三分之一的人因为自己的犹太身份而感到不安。在 10 月 7 日之后使用过 NHS 的英国犹太人中，有超过 4 成的人在就诊时采取措施隐藏自己的犹太身份。

我以我自己的微小方式体会到了这种感觉。我去参加一次预约，迎接我的是一名护士，她佩戴着一枚带有巴勒斯坦旗帜颜色的拳头形状胸针。在 10 月 7 日之后，亲巴勒斯坦活动人士使用的暴力符号具有了更加极端的含义。

接受医疗护理的人已经有足够的事情需要担心，而不必去猜测提供护理的人是否存在偏见或极端主义。

于是，我提出了投诉。NHS信托基金会拒绝将该护士移交给护理与助产委员会（Nursing and Midwifery Council）。监管机构简直比没用还糟糕。经过多轮通信，才勉强启动了一项调查。我怀疑根本没有进行任何正式的追究。他们显然只是找她谈了话，然后就这么结束了。如果我回去，据我所知，我可能还会被同一个佩戴同样徽章的护士治疗。

我们的纪录片揭露了NHS核心地带的反犹主义腐败。这场危机需要一个广泛的应对方案，以解决医疗保健系统中日益增长的极端主义文化、监管机构的惨痛失败、令人震惊的透明度缺失以及问责机制的完全匮乏。我们不能接受政客们拿过去的审查和建议来搪塞——我们现在需要真实且强有力的行动。这就是为什么我们同时提交了一份详细计划来解决这一国家级丑闻。从业人员、信托基金会、监管机构及其他相关方必须全部采取行动。

在最需要NHS的时刻，许多犹太人不仅无法信任我们的国家医疗服务提供者，反而觉得必须隐藏自己的身份，因为担心受到不公正对待或虐待。只要这种情况依然存在，就不能说NHS是面向所有人的。

皮帕·米德尔顿在与徒步者的通行权争端中获胜

电讯报记者报道

在一名规划督察认定其住宅车道不应被视为公共通行权后，皮帕·米德尔顿（Pippa Middleton）赢得了与徒步者之间关于步道的争端。

她的丈夫詹姆斯·马修斯（James Matthews）于2022年以1550 万英镑m从设计师特伦斯·康兰爵士（Sir Terence Conran）手中买下了位于伯克郡金特伯里（Kintbury）附近的一处占地145英亩的房产巴顿法院（Barton Court），并与妻子（威尔士王妃的妹妹）及其三个孩子共同居住在此。

他们封锁了米尔巷（Mill Lane）的入口——据称该巷自20 世纪 60 年代起就被徒步者使用——并竖起写有“私人区域：禁止公众进入”和“禁止擅闯”的标志，同时在车道上安装了电动门。

随后，在徒步者协会（The Ramblers）慈善机构的支持下，30多名居民申请将该路线（即该房产的车道）正式认定为公共通行权。

西伯克郡议会裁定支持该申请，促使马修斯对该决定提出挑战。今年早些时候，该事项在一名规划督察主持的为期五天的公开听证会上进行了审查。

居民们表示，该车道长期以来一直是一条重要的通道，徒步者和宠物狗主人经常使用。听证会的焦点在于公众是否在必要的20年期间，“依法”且不间断地使用了该路线。

规划督察肯·泰勒（Ken Taylor）在书面声明中表示：“来自庄园内生活和工作人员的证据表明，公众的使用非常有限。”

“还有证据表明，村里的其他居民并不认为该指令路线是一条公共步道。”

“使用程度不足以让一个合理的非缺席地主意识到，公众正在主张一项持续使用该指令路线作为公共步道的权利。”

这对夫妇的一位发言人昨晚表示：“我们感谢对事实所做的仔细考量，并感谢各方投入的时间。”

当地议员托尼·维克尔斯（Tony Vickers）表示：“我对督察支持地主一方感到惊讶且非常失望。在参加了几乎所有听证会之后，我没看到马修斯先生的支持者提出任何相关的论据。”

进展顺利：在诺丁汉郡的曼斯菲尔德野生动物救援中心，一只狐狸幼崽在水疗池中游泳，以帮助其在被车撞击后康复。这只雄性幼崽被救援人员恰当地命名为“机遇”（Chance），在被一名公众发现之前，它在路边受伤躺了数日。

保护英国麦芽威士忌引发的“威士忌战争”

苏格兰蒸馏商将在英格兰同行获得同等地位后与部长们对质

作者：Harry Brennan 消费者事务编辑

在英格兰单麦芽威士忌获得保护地位后，一场与苏格兰的“威士忌战争”已经爆发。

在政府于周五晚间宣布英格兰威士忌获得“受保护地理标志地位”后，边境以北的蒸馏商表示他们“深感担忧”。

该地位正式将英格兰麦芽威士忌认可为一个独特的威士忌类别，使其获得与苏格兰、威尔士和爱尔兰威士忌相同的认可。

但这激怒了长期反对此举的苏格兰威士忌产业。

代表包括格兰酩（Glenmorangie）、尊尼获加（Johnnie Walker）和帝亚吉欧（Diageo）在内的 90 家公司的苏格兰威士忌协会（SWA）目前正在考虑对其南方竞争对手采取报复措施。

该协会打算在本周会见部长们，以表达其主要担忧：英格兰威士忌在获得保护地位时所遵循的规则与苏格兰不同。英格兰单麦芽威士忌必须在单一地点生产，但可以使用来自不同地点的麦芽大麦。

逆流而上：五款来自边境以南的威士忌

然而在苏格兰，单麦芽苏格兰威士忌必须在同一个地点生产，且必须使用来自同一地点的大麦。

SWA 首席执行官马克·肯特（Mark Kent）表示，苏格兰产业对“这一决定深感担忧”，并称这些规则“与单麦芽威士忌的声誉完全不符”。

他补充道：“这是我们位于威尔士和北爱尔兰的同行也认同的一点。”

英格兰蒸馏厂雪莉桶熟成款（The English Distillery Sherry Cask Matured），诺福克郡，£61.75 口感浓郁且温暖，带有干果、橙皮、肉豆蔻香料和糖浆的基调。质地丝滑，节日般的甜味与温和的橡木味相平衡。

他说：“在本周与环境、食品和农村事务部讨论后，我们将进一步考虑我们的立场和下一步行动。”

从康沃尔到诺森伯兰，英格兰现在拥有 70 多家威士忌蒸馏厂，高于 2023. 年的 46 家。它们出口到 30 多个国家，估计价值已达 10亿英镑 左右。主持人理查德·哈蒙德（Richard Hammond）和电影制作人盖·里奇（Guy Ritchie）都参与投资了

他表示，这些规则使“既定惯例和长期以来的行业传统”面临风险，并补充说“单麦芽的定义将损害”单麦芽苏格兰威士忌。

白峰线缆厂波本桶款（White Peak Wire Works Bourbon Barrel），德比郡，£54.50 明亮的果园水果味，香草奶油和轻微烟熏感。柠檬凝乳和白巧克力的余味悠长，带有奶油般顺滑且带有轻微香料感的收尾。

新的英格兰品牌。

其崛起对苏格兰威士忌构成了威胁，SWA 表示，苏格兰威士忌每年直接为苏格兰经济贡献超过 50亿英镑 一年。

科茨沃尔德签名款 单麦芽， 华威郡， £44.50 蜂蜜麦芽、红莓和奶油糖的浓郁感。圆润、果香且温暖，带有香料、焦糖的深度以及轻微干燥的橡木收尾。

法利湾旗舰款（Filey Bay Flagship），约克郡，£53.75 新鲜谷物的甜味，柑橘皮和蜂蜜麦芽。海岸的明亮感与温和的橡木味相遇，带来一杯纯净、优雅且低调复杂的烈酒。

作为对苏格兰人的反击，英格兰威士忌协会（English Whisky Guild）的塔戈尔·拉穆塔尔（Tagore Ramoutar）表示，他将捍卫任何针对英格兰单麦芽威士忌新获得地位的指控。

菲尔登黑麦威士忌（Fielden Rye Whisky），英格兰，£49.95 辛辣的黑麦谷物主导，带有蜂巢、香蕉片和海盐焦糖味。活泼、有质感且略带咸鲜，以温暖的胡椒和橡木味收尾。

拉穆塔尔先生说，这没有影响，且没有被冠以“苏格兰（Scotch）”品牌。

英格兰蒸馏厂（The English Distillery）的所有者安德鲁·内尔斯特罗普（Andrew Nelstrop）表示，SWA 的反应是“毫无根据的”。

他说：“考虑到绝大多数熟成中的威尔士威士忌是使用独立于蒸馏厂的酿酒厂麦汁制造的，因此遵循的是我们的规则而非苏格兰的规则，那么暗示威尔士与他们立场一致就显得很奇怪。”

“若要有效地挑战英格兰威士忌的受保护地位，苏格兰威士忌协会（SWA）必须证明其名誉受损或对该行业产生了经济影响。而英格兰威士忌并没有这样的

“任何暗示英格兰威士忌因这些规则而在某些方面可能较差的说法，当然都是胡说八道。

“英格兰威士忌在过去四年中三次获得世界最佳单一麦芽威士忌奖，这相当准确地反映了谁被认为在生产高质量的产品。”

瑟斯克和马尔顿（Thirsk and Malton）的国会议员凯文·霍林雷克（Kevin Hollinrake）——该地有两家英格兰威士忌蒸馏厂——坚称两国没有必要发生冲突。

他说：“苏格兰威士忌是国家瑰宝，也是英国最伟大的出口产品之一。没有人试图从中夺走任何东西。”

“在苏格兰产业之侧，市场为不断增长的英格兰产业留有充足的空间。应该由消费者而非律师来决定杯中装的是什么。”

不满的种子：万圣节南瓜“小到无法雕刻”

作者：帕特里克·加尔布雷斯 (Patrick Galbraith)

环境记者

由于干旱损害了生长，今年的万圣节南瓜将小到无法雕刻。

农民发出警告，用于庆祝10月31日节日的橙色葫芦今年预计将缩小约40%，且皮层更厚，导致更难切割。

破纪录的高温和史上最严重的干旱在夏季抑制了英国南瓜的生长，迫使土地所有者在本月至10月期间收获尺寸小得多的南瓜。

来自萨福克郡 Home Farm Pumpkins 的农民大卫·库尔特（David Coulter）表示：“在高温下，南瓜直接放弃生长并提前停止了，即使当时有水分可用。缺水和高温的双重打击造成了这种情况。”

“我们有很多小南瓜，但孩子们喜欢雕刻大的，不是吗？由于高温，皮比平时厚一些。我认为一些小孩在雕刻它们时可能会遇到困难。”当温度达到30度时，南瓜的生长速度会显著放缓。在5月至9月的南瓜生长高峰期，英国经历了40天温度超过30度的情况，并且经历了1836年以来最干燥的7月。

这一问题促使主要种植者建议家庭在万圣节期间在南瓜上绘画或涂色，而不是冒险进行雕刻。

英国领先的南瓜种植商之一 Barfoots 的凯坦·戴夫（Ketan Dave）表示：“对于非常小的南瓜，不要在上面雕刻，直接在上面画画就好。”

乡村土地与商业团体（Country Land and Business Group）主席加文·莱恩（Gavin Lane）表示：“这是一个绝佳的机会，让父母与孩子讨论天气对作物生长的影响，以及未来种植蔬菜可能面临的困难。”

今年英国还有几种蔬菜面临质量低劣的收获。

土豆的个头如此之小，以至于烤薯条巨头麦凯恩（McCain）一直在

今年的南瓜皮将更厚

采购去年的库存以维持运营。

今年的苹果也更小，且开始提前掉落，这引起了苹果酒酿造商的担忧。英格兰的葡萄园也记录到了史上最早的收获期。

雕刻南瓜有着悠久的历史，传统上与美国庆祝万圣节相关。据估计，美国消费者在这一节日上的支出达130亿美元 (96亿英镑)。

据认为，这一习俗始于17世纪的苏格兰和爱尔兰，当时人们雕刻芜菁等根茎蔬菜。据信，移居美国和加拿大的经济移民将这一传统带到了那里。北美最早有记录的雕刻南瓜实例出现在1866年的一份加拿大报纸上，并被认为

劳工党健康计划下，学校将监管自带午餐

作者：艾米·吉本斯 (Amy Gibbons)

政治记者

作为劳工党推广更健康学校饮食计划的一部分，学校将被要求告知家长，在孩子的自带午餐盒中哪些可以放入，哪些不可以。

根据政府制定的规则，校长将被要求在网上公布其自带午餐政策和学校菜单。

教育部（DfE）昨日宣布了这一变动，这是更新的一套学校食品标准的一部分，其中包括关于学生在学校晚餐中应供应什么的修订指南。

教育大臣露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）称此次举措为“一代仅有一次”的变革。

此前，学校已收到建议，应对学生的自带午餐实施限制，之前的教育部指南建议禁止含糖饮料、薯片和糖果。

政府现在计划采取进一步行动，命令教师向家长提供一份明确的规则清单。

从2027年9月起，学校必须在网上公布其自带午餐政策，以“加强问责并提高合规性”。教育部还重申，鼓励教师为携带健康午餐的学生提供奖品或其他激励措施。

指南此前曾建议禁止糖果和薯片

学校将被要求继续遵循2019年的指南，该指南建议限制含糖和高脂肪食品。由于学校必须在网上公布其政策，家长将能够看到午餐盒中哪些是可接受的，哪些是不可接受的。

虽然指南建议学校“不允许”某些食品，但并没有具体要求教师检查午餐盒中是否有禁用品。

学校饮食的此次大调整还包括要求减少披萨等菜肴，转而选择更健康的选项。教育部提供的示例菜单建议在“豆类日”供应鸡肉小扁豆咖喱，配以米饭、豌豆和馕饼。

规则还规定，在小学中，蛋糕等甜点每周只能供应一次，在中学中每周两次，且必须包含一份水果。

建议的甜点包括奶酪、饼干和葡萄、西瓜，以及配有香蕉和橙片的卡仕达酱。

学校食品标准的这些变化发生在英格兰所有领取通用信贷（Universal Credit）家庭的学生首次获得免费学校餐两周之后。

鲍威尔女士表示：“这些是一代仅有一次的变革，将改变全国儿童的学校饮食。从我们历史性的免费学校餐扩围，到免费早餐俱乐部的推广以及新的学校食品标准，我们正在确保每个孩子都能获得我们深知的、孩子学习、成长和成功所需的健康饮食。”

提前获释的杀人犯因袭击父亲再次入狱

电讯报记者报道

一名曾因谋杀未婚妻而被判刑的男子，在对其年迈父亲实施了一次“侮辱性”袭击后再次被监禁。

伊恩·格里芬（Ian Griffin），57岁，曾因杀死金加·莱格（Kinga Legg）在巴黎被判处20年监禁。2009年5月，莱格被打得遍体鳞伤的尸体在他们位于布里斯托酒店（Le Bristol hotel）的一间单晚房中被发现。但格里芬在服刑22个月后，于2016年获释。

利物浦刑事法院昨日获悉，2025年5月，他住在位于沃灵顿温威克（Winwick, Warrington）父母家中的夏季小屋内。警方接到报案后赶到现场，发现他当时83岁的父亲伯纳德·格里芬（Bernard Griffin）面部受重伤。

法庭播放了执法记录仪拍摄的画面，视频显示一名警员将面部和衣服上沾满鲜血的格里芬长辈带出房门，与此同时，其子被逮捕。

格里芬长辈告诉警员：“我很高兴见到你，否则他会杀了我的。”

格里芬用其母亲的手机拍摄的一段视频记录了袭击的部分过程。据估计，此次袭击持续了30分钟到一小时不等，期间被告威胁其父亲，强迫其签署一份承诺将其一半遗产交给其母亲珍妮特·格里芬（Janet Griffin）的便条。

公诉人安德鲁·斯科特（Andrew Scott）表示，受害者在袭击中鼻骨骨折、出现瘀伤，并掉了一颗金牙。他告诉法庭：“这是毫无理由的，也是侮辱性的。”

格里芬被判处五年监禁，并附加一年的延展许可期。

保罗·戈德斯坦（Paul Goldstein）完成了身穿9英尺高老虎套装行走1,000英里的挑战。这位63岁的野生动物摄影师兼慈善活动人士于周末抵达康沃尔郡的兰兹角（Land's End），他于7月从霍利黑德（Holyhead）出发，旨在推广动物保护。

警方成立专项小组，在打击犯罪团伙行动中针对理发店

查尔斯·海马斯（Charles Hymas） 内政编辑

理发店和电子烟店被用作洗钱犯罪团伙非法资产的掩护，这些店铺将成为追踪“脏钱”的新警察专项小组的目标。

政府将投入5.5 亿英镑m资金，招募500多名警员，以打击通过毒品交易、走私和移民诈骗洗钱的有组织犯罪团伙。

这笔分三年拨付、来自经济犯罪征收金的5.5 亿英镑m，是政府将于今日公布的反洗钱和资产回收战略的一部分。

警员将被部署到各警队、国家犯罪局（NCA）和英国皇家检察署（CPS），要么用于加强现有的打击有组织犯罪的小组，要么作为独立团队运作。

他们将与一个获得2000 万英镑m支持的NCA小组协同工作，该小组负责监督打击将企业作为有组织犯罪掩护的团伙。另有75名警员已被招募，用于应对商业街团伙。

内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德（Shabana Mahmood）表示：“我们正派遣更多500名警员追踪脏钱，追捕有组织犯罪背后的犯罪头目，并剥夺他们用于推动毒品走私、人口走私和其他严重犯罪的资金。”

“通过追缴英国最大团伙的利润，我们将打破他们对我们社区的掌控，将资金归还给受害者，并确保犯罪得不到回报。”

一名丈夫承认在20年间给其妻子下药并实施强奸。

这名来自大曼彻斯特郡斯托克波特（Stockport）、年龄在60多岁的男子，现已承认共计60项性犯罪，包括强奸、性侵以及意图下药。

此前，他已承认在2022年3月至去年10月期间犯下的罪行，包括强奸、性侵、侵入性袭击以及一项分享私密图像的指控，但否认了其他罪名。

为了保护其妻子的匿名身份，该男子不得被公开身份。

他身穿深色西装、蓝色衬衫并打着领带，站在被告席上，双手在身前交握，流下了眼泪。

他的妻子在旁听席观看，期间被看到在擦拭眼泪。

在曼彻斯特明舒尔街刑事法院（Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court），该男子花费了近20分钟时间，对2004年至2025年被捕期间虐待妻子的相关指控认罪。

另外12名年龄在28至74岁之间的男子被指控对该男子的妻子实施了包括强奸和性侵在内的犯罪行为，他们否认所有指控。这些男子分别是：Karl Lindsay（56岁）、Daniel Rayner（42岁）、David Graves（59岁）、Jonathan Kirk（43岁）、Graham Brougham（74岁）、Philip Wild（58岁）、Mohammed Sabir（28岁）、Sean Peers（38岁）、Jordan Wallace（31岁）、Alan Keelan（42岁）、Richard Townsend（37岁）以及Robert Stewart（70岁）。

唯一承认指控的被告是Keith Fotheringham（59岁）。这位结过两次婚且有两个孩子的父亲是邓迪大学的一名技术员，现居住在苏格兰这座城市。

除Wallace、Kirk、Brougham、Keelan和Peers获准保释外，所有被告均被羁押。审判计划于10月开始，预计将持续至少两个月。

在丈夫承认共计60项罪名后，大曼彻斯特警察局助理局长Rick Jackson表示：“在这次极其复杂的调查中，我们的重点仍然是通过支持这起恐怖虐待行为的受害者。”

“如果您担心自己或您认识的人可能受到药物诱导性性虐待的影响，请知晓，您不需要证据、确定性或清晰的记忆才能获得严肃对待。”

休闲阅读可将痴呆风险降低至三分之一

研究表明，益处还包括改善心理健康、共情能力和注意力时长

作者：劳拉·多内利 (Laura Donnelly) 健康编辑

剑桥大学的学者表示，为了娱乐而阅读可能会将痴呆症的风险降低高达三分之一。

在一项新的研究综述中，科学家发现阅读对健康有益，无论阅读的内容是什么，其益处包括提升心理健康、提高学术成绩以及增强共情能力。

一项针对近 5,500 名 55 岁及以上成年人的研究发现，参与阅读等活动的人在五年期间出现认知障碍的可能性显著降低。

另一项研究发现，阅读报纸、杂志和书籍与阿尔茨海默病风险降低 33% 相关。

作为国家阅读年的一部分，剑桥大学的研究人员已与女王阅读室（Queen's Reading Room）展开合作，后者是由女王创立的旨在强调阅读益处的慈善机构。

来自剑桥大学精神病学系的芭芭拉·萨哈基安 (Barbara Sahakian) 教授和克里斯泰尔·兰利 (Christelle Langley) 博士在《心理医学》(Psychological Medicine) 杂志上发表了一篇关于该科学领域的综述。总体而言，研究发现任何年龄段的阅读都能改善大脑和心理健康，带来更好的认知表现，并降低精神衰退的风险。

研究称：“成年人的调查数据表明，阅读与压力减轻、共情能力增强、幸福感提升以及孤独感降低相关。”

“研究进一步表明，认知刺激活动，尤其是阅读，与较低的痴呆症风险和较慢的认知衰退相关，即使是在教育程度较低的人群中也是如此。神经成像结果表明，阅读与支持执行控制、情绪调节和社会认知的脑区在结构和功能上的差异相关。重要的是，这些益处似乎与社会经济背景无关。”

综述中包含的另一项针对 10,000 多名青少年的研究发现，在生命早期就开始为了娱乐而阅读的孩子，在注意力时长、记忆力和执行功能（如解决问题能力）方面表现更好。

他们在学校的表现也更好，心理健康问题更少，且生活方式更健康——包括睡眠时间更长，面对屏幕的时间更少。

兰利博士表示：“鉴于幼年时期为了娱乐而阅读如此有益，我们应该尽一切努力去”

“我们应该尽一切努力引导儿童和青少年接触阅读”

“引导儿童和青少年接触阅读。关键是要找到他们真正感兴趣的阅读内容——可能是一个电视节目或一款游戏——并将其作为切入点。”

研究还发现，读书会也能促进社交联系。

萨哈基安教授表示，共享阅读小组“可以帮助人们减少孤独感，增强与他人的联系，这已被证明能降低痴呆症的风险”。

数据表明，儿童和青少年的阅读量处于有记录以来的最低水平，尤其是来自弱势背景的人群。经济合作与发展组织 (OECD) 最近一项针对 91 个国家 760,000 名学生的研究发现，15 岁青少年的阅读能力比本世纪的任何时期都要差，而数学和科学成绩也随之被拉低。

NHS信托基金称，将人们称为“患者”具有“威慑力”

作者：汤姆·杰弗里斯 (Tom Jeffreys)

一份NHS（英国国家医疗服务体系）语言指南建议，不应将人们称为“患者”，以免他们认为这一称呼“不恰当”、“无益”或具有“威慑力”。

相反，临床医生应将患者称为“经验专家”、“客户”或“消费者”。

这份由萨塞克斯健康与护理机构（Sussex Health and Care）发布的指南还建议临床医生避免使用诸如“评估”和“出院”等标准医学术语，以避免让患者“感到被疏远”或可能给他们造成“伤害”。

萨塞克斯健康与护理机构与NHS萨塞克斯以及东萨塞克斯、西萨塞克斯和布赖顿的七个NHS信托基金及议会合作，花费两年时间编写了这份由税金资助的指南。

这份去年发布的“心理健康语言指南”咨询了患者群体（在报告中被称为“经验专家”）以及在整个萨塞克斯健康和护理服务领域工作的人员。

在指南中，一名匿名的员工代表表示，这旨在“承认多样性，并确保没有人因为被描述或称呼的方式而感到被疏远或被误解”。另一人则表示，该指南旨在帮助临床医生使用“更亲切的语言，使服务感觉更易获得且不那么令人畏惧”。

该指南还就如何对待神经多样性人群提供了建议，禁止使用“患有自闭症的人”这一术语，而将其替换为“自闭症人士或自闭症谱系人士”。

然而，报告同时指出，应使用“一名患有ADHD（注意缺陷多动障碍）的人”而非“一名ADHD人士”。

报告称，这是因为自闭症人士不喜欢“人称优先”的语言，因为他们“将自闭症视为自我的一部分，而非独立于人格之外”，而ADHD患者则更倾向于“身份优先”的语言。

纳税人联盟（TaxPayers' Alliance）的希蒙·李（Shimeon Lee）表示：“在NHS仍承受巨大压力的同时，纳税人们会质疑为什么要把钱花在制作此类指南上。”

“患者希望医生专注于治疗，而不是纠结于‘评估’、‘出院’或‘患者’等词汇是否会引起反感。NHS的高层应将资源集中在改善一线护理上，而不是重写完全正常的医学语言。”

萨塞克斯健康与护理机构以及卫生和社会护理部已被联系以寻求评论。

男教师“可进入女生更衣室”

NSPCC 修改保护指南，引发要求其遵循最高法院裁决的呼吁

作者：Tom McArdle 和 Dan Martin

根据 NSPCC 的指南，男教师将被允许在游泳池或体育中心监督女生更换衣服。

这家儿童保护慈善机构在其最新的保护文件中，删除了关于监督学生更衣的成年人应与学生性别相同的一项政策。

此后，活动人士致信 NSPCC，呼吁其撤销这一决定，并指责该机构受到了跨性别活动人士的压力。

该机构之前的政策规定：“监督儿童更衣的成年人应与儿童性别相同。”然而，在其最新的“更衣室保护注意事项”简报中，这一行文字已被删除。

NSPCC 表示，此次修改是根据教育部（DfE）今年夏季的更新而做出的，目前正在等待平等与人权委员会（EHRC）的官方指南。

该机构补充称，关于该行文字是“由于外部游说”而被删除的说法“完全不属实”。

尽管如此，Sex Matters 的首席执行官 Maya Forstater 已致信该机构的高管，要求其使指南与最高法院的里程碑式判决保持一致。

她写道：“我们震惊地发现，在你们 2026 年 8 月更新的学校简报中，你们没有采取措施使指南清晰化并使其符合法律。”

“相反，该指南利用每一个机会制造模糊，甚至不惜删除一段关于员工监督的重要文字。”她告诉《电讯报》，如果男教师不被允许监督女生更衣，对“每个人都更好”，并补充道：“NSPCC 试图将制定关于运行安全学校更衣室的详细、实用指南的责任推给平等监管机构，这是懦弱、软弱且虚伪的。这根本不是 EHRC 的职责。”

“NSPCC 声称，由于不违反平等法，它突然认为让男教师监督准备进行游泳或体育课更衣的女生群体没有问题，这在履行提供保护儿童免受伤害指南的职责方面是失职的。”

一名 NSPCC 发言人表示：“我们面向学校的简报反映了当前的政府指南，而政府指南在这一问题上并不明确。我们的简报并未表示异性成年人应当监督儿童更衣。该简报将在 EHRC 和 DfE 做出进一步更新后等待审查。”

快艇杀手因披萨争执捅人被判入狱

电讯报记者报道

快艇杀手杰克·谢泼德（Jack Shepherd）因用烧烤夹袭击女友被判处 20 个月监禁。这名 39 岁的男子在一次争吵中将女友按在地上并对其挥拳，在对方评论他把披萨烤焦后，他用烧烤夹捅了她。

他在承认两项导致实际身体伤害的袭击罪名以及一项损坏财产罪名后，于昨日在艾尔沃思刑事法院（Isleworth Crown Court）被判刑。

2018, 谢泼德因过失杀人被判处 10 年监禁。该案源于 2015. 他在一次初次约会期间，驾驶的快艇在泰晤士河上发生碰撞，导致 24, 岁的夏洛特·布朗（Charlotte Brown）死亡。在审判期间，他逃往格鲁吉亚，随后被引渡回国。

2019, 他因在酒精影响下袭击一名酒吧服务员被判处四年监禁。

在去年发生袭击事件后，谢泼德被重新召回监狱。法庭获悉，谢泼德与一名化名为“AB”的女性在共同住宿地相识，并于 2024 年 8 月开始约会。

法庭获悉，去年 2 月，这名 50 多岁的女性与谢泼德发生争执，被告将其“按在地上并多次挥拳殴打”。

检察官表示，去年 6 月，被告在饮酒状态下，其伴侣评论他把烧烤上的披萨烤焦了，于是他“用烧烤夹捅了她的左乳”。

他因烧烤夹袭击案被判处 20 个月监禁，因另一次殴打行为被判处 9 个月，以及因在争吵中损坏伴侣的车钥匙被判处 3 个月。

无癌女性被误诊化疗十年

萨缪尔·蒙哥马利（Samuel Montgomery）报道

英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）在误诊一名女性患癌后，使其接受了 11 年不必要的化疗。

贝基·琼斯（Becky Jones）在 21 岁时被告知患有绝症脑瘤，仅剩几个月寿命。

在经历了十多年导致其放弃职业生涯的侵入性治疗后，这位两个孩子的母亲发现自己患的是脑炎症，本可以用类固醇治疗。

“我被告知如果不化疗就会死，”琼斯女士告诉 BBC，并补充道：“我从未患过脑瘤。我被误诊了，在我成年生活的大部分时间里，毫无理由地接受了所有这些治疗。”

这名 34 岁的女性是 40 名对考文垂和华威大学医院 NHS 信托基金（University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust）提起法律诉讼的患者之一，指控其进行了不必要的癌症治疗。

琼斯女士指称，现已退休的考文垂癌症顾问伊恩·布朗（Ian Brown）教授曾表示，她余生都需要使用化疗药物替莫唑胺（TMZ）。

“他基本上毁了我的生活，”她说，并补充道，她对扫描结果中未见肿瘤的担忧被忽视了，因为该顾问称这在“肉眼不可见”。

英国皇家内科医师学会的一项审查初步结果表明，长期使用该药物“几乎没有证据表明有益”。琼斯女士声称，除了布朗教授退休外，她没有被告知停止化疗的原因。

该信托基金表示，将在审查结果公布后采取进一步行动。

日本将在首相盟友赢得关键选举后加强军事建设

作者：Allegra Mendelson 亚洲特派员

在一名保守派人士赢得冲绳的一次关键选举后，日本将加速其军事建设。

在首相高市早苗政府的支持下，古贺源太（Genta Koja）在一次受国防辩论影响的州长竞选中，击败了连任两届的现任州长玉城登礼（Denny Tamaki）。

玉城先生此前一直批评高市女士增加日本军事能力的努力，而古贺先生则与高市女士以国防为中心的议程密切一致。

“冲绳周围的安全环境正变得日益严峻，”古贺先生在结果公布后表示。

高市女士正准备在今年公布一项国家安全战略，预计这将加速日本自第二次世界大战以来规模最大的军事建设。

她的政府表示，需要增加国防开支，以威慑中国使用武力推进其在东亚的领土野心。冲绳是军事规划者所谓的“第一岛链”的一部分，这是一串从日本延伸至菲律宾的领土，限制了中国进入西太平洋的通道。

日本最西端的领土与那名岛（Yonaguni island）位于台湾以东 68 英里处。北京方面声称台湾是其领土，并加强了围绕这个民主治理岛屿的军事活动。

自高市女士去年表示，中国对台湾的攻击若同时威胁到日本，可能会引发东京的军事反应以来，东京与北京之间的紧张局势不断升级。

在冲绳，辩论的中心在于一个著名的美国海军陆战队基地应该保持开放但搬迁至岛上其他地方，还是直接关闭。

玉城先生长期以来一直抵制将繁忙的普天山飞行场（Futenma Airfield）从宜野湾市搬迁至沿海城市名护市。

相反，他主张关闭该基地并停止运行，而作为冲绳 12 年来首位保守派州长的古贺先生则支持搬迁并保持基地开放。昨天，政府表示将继续执行搬迁基地的计划。

飞行员背部骨折在伊朗度过的 50 小时

武器官透露，在以 100mph 的速度自由落体坠地后，他不得不攀登山脊以逃离敌人

作者：Emily Smith

一名在伊朗上空被击落的美国飞行员透露，他曾向地面自由落体并导致背部骨折，随后攀登了一座 7,000ft 的山脊以逃离敌方战斗人员。

这名武器系统官仅以其呼号“Dude 44 Bravo”被识别。今年 4 月，在乘坐的 F-15E “打击鹰”战斗机被一枚肩扛式导弹击落后，他在伊朗被困了近两天。

Bravo 的降落伞在袭击中受损，他以高达 100 英里 / 小时的速度向地面坠落。

这次坠落导致他的背部、手臂和肩膀骨折，脚踝扭伤，头部和面部留下血淋淋的擦伤。

但随着伊朗士兵和赏金猎人的逼近，这名飞行员仅携带一把手枪，蹒跚着爬上一座山脊，等待美国军队的救援。

视频片段记录了他被两名精锐空军救援队（Air Force Pararescue，简称 PJs）成员救出的瞬间。

“我的降落伞在最初的攻击中受损了。在某一时刻，当我抬头看时发现没有降落伞，那是我见过最恐怖的事情，”他在接受 CBS 的 60 minutes 采访时说道。

Bravo 估计他触地时的速度为 70-100mph。“用‘自由落体’来形容很恰当，”他说。

受伤飞行员在获救前如何逃避伊朗军队的抓捕

虽然 Bravo 的机组同僚很快被美军救出，但他却被迫在伊朗西南部的库吉卢耶和博耶尔-艾哈迈德省（Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad）孤身生存了 50 小时。

飞行员 Alpha 在距离 Bravo 约三英里处坠地，受轻伤。他在一次白日突袭中于半天内获救，但美国特种作战部队未能找到 。

尽管身负伤势， 仅凭一把手枪、一台通信设备和一个追踪信标，通过攀登一座 7, 英尺高的山脊，成功避开了伊朗军队的侦测。

他说：“我受伤了，但我们都接受过训练，以适应并克服所面临的困难。”

“尽管受伤，我还是尽可能迅速地离开了我着陆的地方。”

这名呼号为 Dude 44 的飞行员当时以 100 英里的时速向地面坠落。

他补充道：“永远不要因为缺乏动力而让自己出现在伊朗的电视节目里。一旦我找到了一个我觉得能提供掩护的地方，我就开始尝试建立通信，” 说道。

随后，这名飞行员向五角大楼发送了他的第一条消息：“我受伤了，我正在移动，上帝保佑。”

这名飞行员此前一直在对伊朗的无人机和导弹设施进行打击，他成功避开了附近的伊朗战斗人员，后者曾为抓捕他开出 $60,000（45,500 英镑）的赏金。

美国国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）表示，他是半夜被机组人员坠机的消息惊醒的。

他说：“无论他们是否还活着，我们都要把他们接回来。”在取得初步联系后，美方利用 CIA 的技术定位到了该飞行员。

“当我抬头看时发现没有降落伞，那是史上最恐怖的事情”

解密视频显示，两名特战队员徒步向 奔去，随后将他接走并转移至一个秘密会合点。

该飞行员表示，看到救援人员是他人生中“最伟大的时刻”之一。

此次行动动用了 90 多名特种作战人员和 MQ-P “收割者”无人机，并在一条临时沙漠跑道上使用了两架大型搜救飞机，随后派遣直升机去定位该飞行员。

坠毁的喷气式飞机随后被美军炸毁，以防止其落入伊朗之手。

然而，在救出飞行员后，运送 92 名任务人员的两架 C-130 运输机出现了机械故障，导致其无法从临时跑道起飞。

美方不得不派遣额外的飞机飞入伊朗，分批将该小组撤离。

在回顾这次救援任务时，飞行员表示：“这并不是一个关于我经历了什么的的故事。这是一个关于团队协作、训练、信念、决策以及领导力的故事。”

“这件事将作为美国为了履行承诺、不抛弃任何一名战友而愿意付出努力的典范，载入史册。”

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队士兵在九小时街头冲突中被击毙

作者：Akhtar Makoi

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）的士兵在与武装分子的罕见且持续数小时的街头冲突中被击毙。

周六凌晨约4点，在伊朗东南部西斯坦-俾路支斯坦省萨拉万的巴克尚区，卫队与俾路支战士之间爆发了枪战，冲突持续了约九个小时。

当地居民表示，农村社区变成了战场，重型武器和火箭推进榴弹被用于对抗这个新成立的武装组织。现场视频显示，在激烈的枪炮声中人们四处逃散，救护车紧急驶入，一座民宅被夷为平地。

数百名伊斯兰革命卫队、警察和情报部队参与了行动。据报道，数枚RPG火箭弹击中了一栋房屋，且行动中使用了无人机来定位战士。

伊斯兰革命卫队地面部队的库德斯基地将此次行动描述为针对一个计划在萨拉万实施暗杀的“专业恐怖分子小组”的行动，并称四名枪手被击毙，缴获了大量武器、弹药和爆炸物。卫队有两名人员在冲突中丧生。

新成立的“人民战士阵线”（Popular Fighters Front）组织对此宣布负责，并称伊朗军队袭击了其一个单位，随后该组织迅速增援，突破了围困的第一道防线，并救出了部分被包围的战士。

该组织称其四名成员被杀

“农村社区变成了战场，重型武器和火箭推进榴弹被投入使用”

六人被救出，并声称击毙了九名安全人员，造成21人受伤。

“人民战士阵线”是伊朗动荡的东南部地区的一个新势力。

该组织由“正义军”（Jaish al-Adl）于去年年底宣布成立。正义军是一个长期在该省活动的逊尼派武装组织，被伊朗和美国均列为恐怖组织。

正义军表示，它已与其他几个俾路支派系组建了一个“新联盟”，以加强与伊斯兰共和国的斗争。正义军于2012年出现，是“真主之军”（Jundallah）的继任者。真主之军曾由阿卜杜勒马利克·里吉（Abdolmalek Rigi）领导，里吉在沿伊朗边境进行多年的爆炸、伏击和绑架活动后，于2010年被抓获并被处决。

西斯坦-俾路支斯坦省是伊朗最贫困的地区之一，是一个走私走廊，人权组织称，这里严厉的镇压行动比其他地方的动荡引起关注的程度要低得多。

2022年9月，在马莎·阿米尼（Mahsa Amini）被羁押死亡后，该省发生了最血腥的镇压事件。据当地人权活动人士称，安全部队在省会扎赫丹的一次抗议集会上开火，导致100多名示威者和旁观者死亡。

这次动乱发生在当年震惊伊朗的全国性抗议活动爆发约两周后，但其直接导火索是关于一名地区警察局长在港口城市恰巴哈尔强奸一名15岁俾路支女孩的指控。

活动人士长期以来一直抱怨，该地区是伊朗什叶派神职人员领导层系统性歧视的受害者，每年在冲突中被杀以及在绞刑架上被处决的俾路支族人数不成比例地偏高。

伯纳姆被告知：应将胡塞武装列为禁组织以降低英国能源账单

作者：Akhtar Makoiji

英国前驻也门大使敦促安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）将胡塞武装列为禁组织，以帮助降低能源账单。

这些由伊朗支持的武装分子在一次闪电攻势中加强了对红海沿岸及关键的曼德海峡的控制，此举威胁到全球能源价格的上涨。

埃德蒙·菲顿-布朗（Edmund Fitton-Brown）在为《电讯报》网站撰文时认为，英国拒绝将该反政府武装定名为恐怖组织的做法已变得“日益荒谬”。

他写道：“我们认为他们危险到需要对其进行轰炸，但却认为他们不够危险到被称作恐怖分子。”

美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和新西兰均已将胡塞武装列为禁组织。英国此前曾对该武装分子发动过空袭。

曾在2015-17年担任驻也门大使的菲顿-布朗先生表示，他比自己愿意的程度更“了解”胡塞武装，因为他目睹了他们“从一个武装反叛运动转变为该国大部分地区的统治者”。

他表示，一次又一次，“旨在使其温和的让步反而给了他们变得更强大的时间和空间”。他认为，将其列为禁组织将允许英国冻结资产，将筹款和物质支持定为犯罪，并瓦解在英国本土与胡塞武装相关的行动。

他还声称，这将“表明他的政府关心能源价格、国家安全以及英国在海外日益衰落的影响力”。

人道主义组织表示，将其列为禁组织可能会使也门本已极其糟糕的局势进一步恶化。

“旨在使其温和的让步反而给了他们变得更强大的时间和空间”

胡塞武装控制着也门大部分人口居住的领土——包括首都萨那和主要港口荷台达，大多数食品和燃料通过该港口进入该国。

联合国表示，将他们定名为恐怖分子可能会使援助机构为开展工作而必须与该组织进行的常规往来变为犯罪，从而在经历了十多年的内战、贫困和近乎饥荒之后，掐断数百万人的援助流。援助团体还警告称，正式的恐怖组织名单可能会冻结银行渠道，威慑供应商和承运商，并使救援人员面临法律风险，最终惩罚的是平民。

当美国在2021年将胡塞武装列为禁组织时，援助团体和联合国表示，此举威胁到将该国推向“大规模饥荒”，随后该决定被迅速撤销。然而，美国在去年再次将胡塞武装定名为恐怖组织。

菲顿-布朗先生表示，联合国和援助团体的反对意见“随着每个月的流逝而变得越来越难以维持”，因为“在胡塞武装控制的也门，人道主义行动的主要威胁日益来自于胡塞武装本身”。

这一请求是在也门地面局势急剧升级之际提出的，当时胡塞武装与沙特支持的政府之间爆发了激烈战斗。

政府军发动空袭以击退胡塞武装的快速推进，战斗目前正向马里卜转移。马里卜是政府在北部的最后一个主要据点，也是该国最大油气田所在地——分析人士表示，夺取这一奖赏可能会决定战争的走向。

特朗普：俄罗斯已同意能源停火

泽连斯基在之前的协议在几天内崩溃后，“不相信”莫斯科会遵守协议

作者：Iona Cleave 美国特派记者

唐纳德·特朗普昨日表示，乌克兰和俄罗斯已就停止袭击能源基础设施达成停火协议。

俄罗斯经常使用无人机和导弹袭击乌克兰城市和民用基础设施，而基辅则专注于针对能源设施的远程无人机袭击，以增加弗拉基米尔·普京发动战争的成本。

他在其 Truth Social 平台上声称：“乌克兰已同意不打击俄罗斯的能源目标。俄罗斯也同意同样这样做！全球柴油价格上涨主要是由俄乌战争引起的，而不是伊朗。”

此前由美国斡旋的能源停火协议很快就崩溃了。特朗普先生的这一声明似乎让双方都措手不及。

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，乌克兰“不相信俄罗斯有遵守任何协议的意愿”，并补充说，基辅的合作伙伴必须确保莫斯科履行协议。

俄罗斯尚未对所谓的协议发表评论。基辅长期以来一直推动暂停对能源设施以及港口和其他关键基础设施的袭击。然而，克里姆林宫在冬季到来之前可能会犹豫是否达成此类协议，因为届时对乌克兰电网的袭击将更具杀伤力，并可能迫使该国做出让步。

随着中东战争进入第六个半月，全球油价飙升，导致美国在11月中期选举前几周燃料价格上涨和通货膨胀加剧。两名乌克兰官员告诉《金融时报》，特朗普先生希望向担心燃料价格上涨的美国人表明，他正在积极努力降低油价。

周日，这位总统公开指责基辅对俄罗斯炼油厂发起的成功空中攻势，称此举正在“伤害世界”。

然而，数据表明，海湾地区不断扩大的战争才是当前能源价格上涨的根本原因。

此次能源停火发生在华盛顿主导的和平谈判陷入数月僵局之后，而特朗普政府将关注重点转向与伊朗的战争，使情况进一步复杂化。

本月早些时候，特朗普先生的特使贾里德·库什纳和史蒂夫·威特科夫访问了莫斯科和基辅，试图达成有限协议——这是他们在最新尝试重启谈判中的首次访问。

此前由美国斡旋的俄乌能源停火协议均迅速崩溃，双方互相指责对方违约。最近一次发生在1月下旬，仅维持了几天，随后俄罗斯就对乌克兰电网发动了大规模袭击。在特朗普先生宣布之前，克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示，他欢迎总统呼吁乌克兰停止袭击俄罗斯的柴油生产设施。

他拒绝透露俄罗斯是否会作为回报停止针对乌克兰的能源基础设施。

不过，他补充说，全球能源市场的动荡主要是由于海湾地区的冲突。

泽连斯基先生周日表示，他打算在下周联合国峰会期间，在场边与特朗普先生讨论关于能源目标以及黑海地区可能达成的停火协议。

战场无法取得进展，普京正使乌克兰陷入瘫痪

安东尼娅·朗福德（Antonia Langford） 发自基辅

太阳已经升起，当列车员开始在车厢之间奔跑并大声要求乘客撤离时，那列吱吱作响的火车正缓缓向波兰方向行驶。

当人们涌向站台时，随后传来了防空火炮顽强的轰鸣声，以及头顶上无人机特有的嗡嗡声。

“突然之间，你听到它俯冲而下，在离我们火车前端很近的地方发生了巨大的爆炸，”格伦·科恩（Glenn Corn）回忆道。他是一名退休的CIA高级主管，当时与前CIA局长大卫·彼特雷厄斯（David Petraeus）将军同行。

“爆炸规模很大，离火车很近……你可以看到冲击点，有一团巨大的爆炸云，”科恩先生告诉《电讯报》。

此次袭击发生在周日上午，击中了的一列客运火车的机车，险些击中一列搭载着前首相鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson）、欧洲安全官员及其他外国显贵的外交专列。

由于在战场上的进展几乎为零，俄罗斯不仅在加强对民用基础设施的远程空中袭击以瘫痪乌克兰，而且在目标的选择上变得更加大胆。

据乌克兰国家铁路公司（Ukrzaliznytsia）称，由于担心俄罗斯会发动袭击，搭载约翰逊先生的车辆幸运地提前出发了。

这枚远程弹药在这些前美国情报高官准备过境时，也险些击中他们乘坐的民用火车，击中点距离波兰领土仅 1.2 英里。

一架俄罗斯无人机还飞越了乌克兰全境，击中了距离雅霍丁-多罗胡斯克（Yahodyn-Dorohusk）波兰边境口岸仅 800 米的一家加油站，在凌晨时分引发了大火。

这些袭击遭到了欧洲官员的谴责，他们指责俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）试图恐吓乌克兰的盟友，并表现出一种不受惩罚的傲慢。

克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫（Dmitry Peskov）昨日驳斥了这些指责，他表示俄罗斯军队“一直在乌克兰全境开展行动，并将继续这样做”。

科恩先生表示，他不认为俄罗斯打算针对搭载他们或欧洲显贵的火车。

“普京绝对在提高赌注，他通过这些袭击正越来越接近波兰边境”

“我认为他们想传递一个信息，”他告诉《电讯报》，“这个信息的一部分就是你不应该前往乌克兰，那里不安全。他们试图孤立乌克兰人。”

然而他补充说，这次“高风险行动”很容易出错，可能导致知名嘉宾或大量平民死亡，这象征着莫斯科在向北约边界推进时，对风险的承受欲日益增强。

他说：“他们在玩火。普京绝对在提高赌注，他通过这些袭击正越来越接近波兰边境。”

对摩尔多瓦和罗马尼亚附近边境检查站的大胆袭击，证实了俄罗斯在目标选择上变得更加肆无忌惮，且更愿意测试升级的底线。

据乌克兰和挪威官员称，本月早些时候，乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基（Volodymyr Zelensky）乘坐的飞机在准备从摩尔多瓦出发前往挪威时，险些被一架俄罗斯喷气式无人机击中。

然而，周日的袭击也符合俄罗斯军事行动的一个更广泛的演变。

由于地面前线相对静止，且远程无人机变得更加先进，克里姆林宫升级了其空战。它希望通过针对商业、交通和物流网络来勒死乌克兰的经济。

俄罗斯对能源基础设施的袭击并未缓解。8月27日，俄罗斯无人机摧毁了赫尔松的热电站，促使乌克兰官员在担心该市可能断电的情况下，敦促居民撤离。

但铁路、加油站、仓库、邮局、企业、零售仓库和工厂也成为了主要目标，因为俄罗斯试图扰乱货物和燃料的运输，推高经营成本，并进一步压缩一个已经承受巨大压力的经济体。

全球欧洲中心（Centre for Global Europe）研究员马克西姆·贝兹诺西尤克（Maksym Beznosiuk）表示：“俄罗斯正在将其基础设施攻势从能源和军事相关目标扩大到维持乌克兰运转的更广泛的经济体系中。”

他告诉《电讯报》：“这正演变成一场系统性的行动，旨在削弱乌克兰的经济功能，制造资源短缺并增加社会压力，尤其是在冬季到来之前。”

《电讯报》对冲突监测机构 ACLED 的数据分析发现，2026年夏季对工业和商业基础设施的袭击次数比前一年增加了三倍多，而对交通基础设施的袭击则增长了25%。

与此同时，针对农业的袭击已经

在同一时期增加了一倍多。8 月和 9 月，有 30 多家大型零售商、消费品牌和物流公司遭到袭击，而购物中心在遭到袭击后导致数十名平民丧生。

此外，针对包括仓库和运输在内的食品物流，还出现了全天候的无人机袭击，而乌克兰的铁路自今年年初以来已遭遇 1,500 多次袭击。

这些袭击的关键在于喷气式无人机群，其飞行速度比旧款螺旋桨无人机快三倍，且能达到更高的高度，使其更难被拦截。

俄罗斯在夏季向乌克兰发射的此类无人机数量增加了八倍，8 月向该国发射的数量达到了惊人的 2,800 架，而 6 月仅为 350 架。

俄罗斯上空的卫星图像显示，那里建立了大量无人机基地，这些基地完全处于可袭击乌克兰和北约的范围内，为这些袭击提供了便利。

在针对为俄罗斯军队提供军事和军民两用设备的在线零售巨头的一系列乌克兰无人机袭击之后，普京警告基辅要“期待回应”。

克里姆林宫在周日重申了这些言论，指责乌克兰人“打开了潘多拉之盒”。

乌克兰官员和西方分析人士则反驳称，加强袭击是为了弥补莫斯科在前线缺乏进展的局面。

上周末，总部位于华盛顿的智库战争研究所（Institute for the Study of War）表示，自 2026 年 3 月以来，乌克兰军队几乎抵消了莫斯科在领土上的胜利。

“他们在战场上的进展非常小，”康先生（Mr Corn）表示，“[因此]他们似乎真的在试图向乌克兰政府施压，削弱政府，并传递一个信息，即政府无法保护你们。”

英国士兵在乌克兰事故中丧生

作者：汤姆·科特里尔 (Tom Cotterill)

一名英国军方人员在乌克兰的一起车祸中丧生。

国防部（MoD）在昨日的一份声明中确认了这一死讯。据报道，这名尚未公开姓名的士兵死于一起“道路交通事件”。据了解，此次死亡并非由敌对行动引起。

国防部的一位发言人表示：“我们深感遗憾地宣布，一名英国武装部队成员于周六在乌克兰的一起道路交通事件中丧生……家属已获悉此事，并请求在公布进一步细节前给予一段缓冲期。”政府此前已承认，有少量英国军队在乌克兰，旨在为英国外交官提供安全保障并支持基辅的军事行动。

此次事件是第二起确认的武装部队成员在乌克兰死亡的案例。伞兵乔治·胡利（George Hooley）下士于12月在观察一款新型乌克兰无人机测试时丧生。国防部表示，这名28岁的士兵死于远离前线的事故。他并未参与在乌克兰的任何战斗行动。

胡利下士给家人写了一封信，要求在自己去世时开启，信中写道他一直在做自己深信的事情。应其家属要求，这封告别信被公开。信中写道：“如果你在读这段文字，意味着我没能回家。请不要让这件事击垮你们。你们知道，我是在与我尊重的人一起，为了对我、我的国家以及这个世界的民主与自由至关重要的原因，在做我深信且热爱的事情。”

英国军方负责人理查德·奈顿（Sir Richard Knighton）空军元帅上周表示，自2022年2月以来，莫斯科方面已遭受150万人员伤亡，其中至少50万死于非命。

尽管遭受损失，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京仍升级了对乌克兰全境的袭击，包括周日对一个火车站发起的无人机袭击。

加沙题材电影导演面临失去公民权

作者：亨利·博德金 (Henry Bodkin)

耶路撒冷特派记者

以色列威胁要剥夺一部关于加沙的新纪录片导演的公民身份。

尤瓦尔·亚伯拉罕（Yuval Abraham）和瑞秋·索尔（Rachel Szor）被指控“背叛国家”，因为他们声称以色列国防军（IDF）在加沙地带对平民进行了无差别攻击。

该纪录片声称，以色列国防军曾在一次行动中批准杀死500名平民，以刺杀一名哈马斯特工，并使用人工智能（AI）来策划造成大规模伤亡的袭击。

这部电影名为《Naza》，其名称源自以色列情报部门使用的一个希伯来语缩写，用于指示空袭中预计将有多少平民死亡。

这部时长80分钟的纪录片于周六在威尼斯电影节获得评审团特别奖，并赢得了25分钟的起立鼓掌。

周日，以色列文化部长米基·佐哈尔（Miki Zohar）指责导演们为了“获得全球反犹主义者的掌声而甘愿伤害自己的祖国”。

他在X平台上写道：“我将立即采取行动，撤销这些卑劣创作者的以色列公民身份，因为他们背叛了国家。”

以色列国防军断然否认在对哈马斯的加沙战争期间策划并批准过一次预计会导致500名平民死亡的袭击，称该指控“完全虚假”。

该电影的一段宣传片探讨了以色列在目标决策中使用AI及其在平民死亡中所扮演的角色。片中一名据称是以色列情报士兵的人员被问及，在策划加沙袭击时，曾批准过的最高预计平民死亡人数是多少。

“我不知道死了多少人，因为他们从未核实过，”他回答道，“但曾经有过一次500人的批准。”以色列国防军表示，战争期间并未出现任何支持该所谓举报人证词的“可靠主张”。

犯规！极限运动员因“肮脏”获胜引发争议

冠军选手在健身赛事中失禁，被竞争对手指责污染器材

作者：艾米莉·史密斯（Emily Smith）

一名极限健身运动员在参加 Hyrox 赛事期间失禁，且在身上沾满粪便的情况下继续参赛，由此引发了一场关于生物危害的争论。

Hyrox 世界冠军乔安娜·维特齐克（Joanna Wietrzyk）在周六参加北京的赛事时感到身体不适，但她坚持参赛并最终赢得了比赛。

比赛现场的照片和视频（《电讯报》未予发布）显示，粪便顺着这位澳大利亚运动员的双腿流下，沾到了垫子和部分器材上。

赛后，维特齐克在社交媒体上发布了一张似乎是在医院病床上的照片，配文称：“要么拼尽全力，要么回家……赢了就是赢了。说正经的，感谢所有人的支持。我很快会回来的 x。”

她随后删除了该帖子。

现被要求审查其操作流程，因为它被指责因未要求维特齐克退赛或封锁受污染区域而造成了生物危害。

于 2017 年在德国汉堡首次推出，是一种室内极限健身比赛，运动员需要在跑步与波比跳、划船和推雪橇等练习之间交替进行。近年来，该赛事的受欢迎程度激增。

维特齐克以 1 小时 1 分 23 秒的成绩赢得了比赛，但由于 对吐痰和乱扔垃圾等行为设有处罚，她和组织者在网上都面临批评。 表示，他们通过对器材进行消毒并更换部分地毯，开展了一次“大规模清理行动”。

然而，22 岁的维特齐克的参赛同伴要求道歉并退款，理由是他们接触到了被污染的设备。在这次中国首都赛事中参赛的一名男性选手乔·何（Joe Ho）表示：“对于暴露在这种情况下的人来说，可能会产生真实的生理和心理后果。”

“我付钱给 是为了参加一个专业组织且安全的赛事。因此，虽然我理解运动员的立场，但最终我的合同和预期是与 挂钩的。”

“如果组织方承认出了问题，为什么不向受影响的参与者提供退款、积分或某种有意义的补偿？”参与者质疑这家健身公司为何允许维特齐克继续比赛。一名常驻美国的护士埃里卡·道奇（Erica Dodge）在 Instagram 上写道：“从基本的健康和卫生角度来看，应该立即停止该运动员的比赛，并且在允许其他运动员通过之前，任何受污染区域都应被封锁并妥善清理。”在昨天发布的一份声明中， 表示其已设有“明确的生物污染物和医疗处理程序”。

该公司表示：“在这种情况下，出现了一个不可预见的情况，导致为精英比赛和大众参与设计的协议变得模糊，在应用和理解上产生了歧义。”它补充道：“我们意识到，这在我们的社区中可能会引发挫败感、疑问和强烈的观点，这是可以理解的。”

“这些担忧是合理的，作为组织者，我们必须准备好倾听这些声音，审查发生了什么，并承担起继续改进的责任。我们一定会这样做。”这家德国公司还批评了针对维特齐克的网络暴力。

运动员在高强度耐力赛中失禁并不罕见。

英国前长跑运动员保拉·拉德克利夫（Paula Radcliffe）在 2005 年的伦敦马拉松赛中，因严重的胃痉挛被迫在第 22 英里处的路边排便。她随后赢得了比赛。加里·莱因克尔（Gary Lineker）在 1990 年世界杯代表英格兰对阵爱尔兰的比赛中，也在球场上失禁。

人们常说，要么全力以赴，要么回家……赢了就是赢了。 极限健身运动员乔安娜·维特齐克（Joanna Wietrzyk）和 Hyrox 组织者因在北京发生的这起事件而受到批评。 说正经的，感谢所有的支持。我很快会回来的 x

“一次不可预见的情况” Hyrox 活动组织者 就生物危害事件道歉

我们设有明确的生物污染物处理和医疗程序。在这种情况下，出现了一个不可预见的情况，导致为精英赛事和大众参与而设计的协议变得模糊，从而在协议的执行和理解上产生了歧义。我们意识到，这可能会在我们的社区中引发挫败感、疑问和强烈的观点，这是可以理解的。这些担忧是合理的，作为组织者，我们必须准备好倾听这些声音，审查发生的情况，并承担继续改进的责任。我们一定会这样做。

说唱歌手因巴勒斯坦言论被剔除出希兰美国巡演

作者：安德鲁·邦科姆 (Andrew Buncombe)

一名美国说唱歌手表示，在发表支持巴勒斯坦的言论后，他被剔除出了艾德·希兰 (Ed Sheeran) “Loop”巡演的美国站。

出生于西雅图的麦克莫尔 (Macklemore)，原名本杰明·哈蒙德·哈格蒂 (Benjamin Hammond Haggerty)，表示他在 9 月 4 日和 5 日作为特邀嘉宾在新泽西州大都会体育场 (MetLife Stadium) 演出两场后被解雇。

“我不需要希兰的 10 场演出，我只需要 2 场，”麦克莫尔昨天在社交媒体上写道。“两次机会，站在 90,000 人面前，说出那些不知为何变得过于危险的话语：自由巴勒斯坦。”

这位 43 岁的歌手以《Thrift Shop》和《Can't Hold Us》等热门歌曲闻名，他声称演唱会推广方 Messina Touring Group 受到了 85 岁的罗伯特·克拉夫特 (Robert Kraft) 的压力。克拉夫特是克拉夫特集团 (Kraft Group) 的首席执行官，也是新英格兰爱国者美式足球队以及波士顿附近吉列体育场 (Gillette Stadium) 的所有者。35, 岁的希兰计划在本月晚些时候在那里演出。

“艾德告诉我，克拉夫特说不允许我在他的体育场演出，”麦克莫尔在 Instagram 上写道。“艾德还告诉我，克拉夫特召集了一些其他体育场的所有者，他们给了他一个最后通牒：如果麦克莫尔留在巡演名单中，你们将不被允许在我们的场馆演出。”

在他在大都会体育场的演出期间，

麦克莫尔表示，他希望“自由巴勒斯坦”这些话语能够“响亮且清晰，让从加沙一直到被占领的约旦河西岸的人们知道，我们没有忘记他们”。

他还感谢了“我的犹太兄弟姐妹”。他补充道：“对以色列的批评、对种族隔离的批评、反对种族灭绝，绝非是对你们的批评。我的信息是为了和平，为了所有人类都能被尊严、尊重和平等地对待。”

报道称，几个支持以色列的团体已呼吁将麦克莫尔从巡演中剔除。

歌手皮克 (Pink) 分享了一篇社交媒体帖子，指责麦克莫尔用“反以色列宣传”伏击粉丝。她随后表示，她并不反对他要求“自由巴勒斯坦”。

DJ 麦克莫尔原定在这位英国歌手的美国巡演中参加 10 场演出

克拉夫特先生表示，他同意该说唱歌手的观点，即“有太多生命逝去，承受了太多苦难，但仅分享选择性的信息而忽视哈马斯的行为是不诚实的，只会增加更多的分裂和仇恨”。

他表示，他欢迎有机会与麦克莫尔坐下来讨论事实，因为“最终我们的目标是一致的——所有人的和平，结束苦难和所有仇恨”。

在 2023 年 10 月 7 日哈马斯对以色列发动袭击导致约 1,200 人（主要是以色列人）死亡，以及随后以色列军队摧毁了加沙大部分地区并导致 69,000 多名巴勒斯坦人死亡的行动之后，这一问题变得更具争议。

希兰、麦克莫尔、克拉夫特先生和 Messina Touring Group 没有立即回应置评请求。

Messina Touring Group 告诉《滚石》杂志 (Rolling Stone)：“作为艾德·希兰美国 Loop 巡演的演唱会推广方，我们已被即将到来的美国巡演日期的场馆通知，他们不允许在演出阵容中有麦克莫尔的情况下举行演唱会，这将导致巡演取消并影响数十万名粉丝。”

该公司补充道：“在与利益相关者讨论后，麦克莫尔将不再参加剩余的助演日期。”

爱尔兰令特朗普心醉……他在空军一号上的DJ曲单证明了这一点

作者：康纳·斯特林格，发自空军一号

唐纳德·特朗普传来的消息是在大西洋上空某处抵达的。两名助手走进了空军一号后方宽敞的记者舱（该飞机由卡塔尔人赠予总统）。他们解释说，特朗普先生正在前舱工作，并派他们回来询问一个问题：我们是否愿意听他的播放列表？

接下来的30分钟里，播放了一些总统最喜欢的歌曲，包括ABBA乐队、卢恰诺·帕瓦罗蒂和 The Who 乐队。不久之后，总统本人出现了，他在飞机的宽阔走廊中漫步。“我想确保每个人都喜欢这些音乐，”他说，“这些是我亲自挑选的。我想让你们开心。”

在经历了数月由伊朗战争和困难的中期选举阴影主导的政治头痛之后，爱尔兰给特朗普先生提供了一次喘息之机。在他访问杜恩贝格观看爱尔兰公开赛的两天里，他一直在做对他来说最自然的事情：扮演东道主。

当他在高尔夫球场的第一发球台回答关于霍尔木兹海峡和乌克兰的问题时，偶尔会让人想起华盛顿那些令人头疼的事。而且，在都柏林，他在与爱尔兰总理迈克尔·马丁的双边会议期间宣布他“很想看到”一个统一的爱尔兰，并预测统一最终必然会到来，这可能引起了一些人的不满。

在会见爱尔兰总统凯瑟琳·康诺利和马丁先生后，特朗普先生登上了海军一号向西飞行，《电讯报》随行。在克莱尔郡等待他的是一座以他名字命名的豪华酒店，以及在他那座举办多年来规模最大的爱尔兰公开赛的链路球场上的数千名高尔夫球迷。

媒体称他抵达时将面临抗议，然而数千人沿着草地沙丘排队，在海军一号由两架奇努克直升机护航飞入时，他们困惑地指着天空。

尽管外交上的期待很多，但本周末最切实可见的政治成果之一是通过简单的个人关系实现的。数月来，爱尔兰政治家一直游说华盛顿，要求取消在总统与欧洲贸易战期间征收的10%的爱尔兰威士忌关税。

到周日晚上，本土高尔夫英雄、总统的朋友谢恩·劳里手持奖杯站在第18洞果岭上，此时特朗普先生宣布该税项将被取消。“每个人都在烦我，”他在马丁先生紧张地注视下说道，“我们将取消爱尔兰威士忌的关税。”

人群爆发出了欢呼，马丁先生则宽慰地笑了。

随后，特朗普先生走下第18发球台，返回到

他很高兴世界对他的高尔夫球场赞叹不已。

在空军一号内部，这座有史以来飞行过的最豪华的总统工艺品中，唯一缺失的设施就是——Wi-Fi。

在横跨大西洋的六小时里，随行的记者团与外界失去了联系。

幸好，总统带来了他的播放列表。

忘掉 Z 世代吧，真正的懦夫是那些像“濒死天鹅”一样的中年男人

汉娜·贝茨 (HANNAH BETTS)

像我这样的中年女性，在面对健康问题时是理性的。生殖器官所需的复杂系统确保了我们与医疗行业保持密切联系。

就在几天前，我不得不让身体的两半都接受检查：首先，乳房被像中世纪那样夹在扫描仪下；接着，预约了那位负责监测“后方业务”的天才。这并不愉快。

尽管如此，我没有流汗，没有猜测，完全没有纠结。我只会简单地按照专家的指示去做。

相比之下，几天前我们收到消息，Z 世代正转向 AI 寻求健康建议，而不是寻求那些接受过实际医学训练的医生这一更传统的资源。TikTok 和 YouTube 上的自封专家也被视为神谕。

这或许解释了为什么 Zoomers（Z 世代）被心理健康问题所困扰，而一名友善的专业人士可能会告诉他们，他们所经历的“症状”仅仅是成年人的生活。

这是 ADHD（多动症），还是你只是在周二下午难以专心工作？你是在遭受焦虑发作，还是这只是考前紧张？你是“有一点自闭症”，还是仅仅是一个在派对上感到糟糕的内向者？医生看到的是个体，而 AI 进行的是粗糙的计算。与此同时，Z 世代变得越来越焦虑。

不过，我们不要在这里拿年轻人开涮，因为社会真正的神经质者是中年男人。向人类已知最歇斯底里的疑病群体致敬吧，他们永远在自我诊断，然后给我们表演一套“濒死天鹅”的戏码。

我身边大量的男性同辈甚至没有全科医生（GP），更不用说咨询他们了。相反，在疯狂地操作笔记本电脑后，他们会得出自己那套可靠的、戏剧化的结论，

将每一种小病都升级为一场腺鼠疫袭击。

让我们考虑一个我称之为“X”的案例——尽管常读此文的读者可能会发现他与我交往 12 年的男友有不小的相似之处。一旦 X 觉得自己在任何方面状态不佳，他就会判定自己“快要病倒了”。一条围巾会出现在他的脖子上，声音变得微弱，伴随着发烧般的绝望喘息，直到——崩溃！——一只手捂在胸口，另一只手悲剧性地垂下，宛如亨利·沃利斯 (Henry Wallis) 的画作《查特顿之死》。

接着会出现沙哑的请求，要求喝药剂、冷敷，或者要 KitKat 巧克力。与此同时，X 会凝视天花板，仿佛天堂之门就在眼前，而任何善举在面对他的不耐烦时都显得苍白。瞧，我们面对的不是一名 52 岁的中层管理人员，而是《荒凉山庄》里的扫烟囱男孩乔，哀鸣着说他“对我非常好，他真的很好！”

一段时间后，这种（完全凭直觉判断的）病症将被认为正在减轻，体力逐渐恢复。湖边疗养会被提上日程，助行设备被购置——只要能鼓起勇气！简而言之，我宁愿自己生病，也不愿看到 X 如此病倒——这绝不是因为我在任何方面具有自我牺牲精神。

我那勇敢的大兵绝非孤例。如果说懦弱让中年男人远离诊所，那么自尊心则让他们确信自己最懂，此外还包含一种对表演的某种快感。因为，当他们化身为病人时，他们的爱人就必须扮演护士。

在每个男性灵魂的深处，似乎都潜藏着一种对战地医院的渴望，渴望某个目光纯真的伴侣为他们充满男子气概的额头擦汗。而至关重要的一点是，绝不能让科学破坏这个幻想。

英格兰应当参与讨论联邦的未来

英国人口最多的国家在所谓“凯尔特边缘地带”的宪法谈判中没有正式的发言权

菲利普·约翰斯顿 (PHILIP JOHNSTON)

在卡迪夫举行的旨在商定联邦解体的 1 位首任部长会议上，有一位重要的缺席者。英格兰在哪里？在苏格兰民族党（SNP）的约翰·斯温尼（John Swinney）、威尔士党（Plaid Cymru）的伦·阿普·约尔沃斯（Rhun ap Iorwerth）以及 Sinn Féin 的米歇尔·奥尼尔（Michelle O'Neill）之间的会谈中，英国最大的组成部分被排除在外。

自 20 世纪 90 年代权力下放以来，威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰首次同时拥有希望脱离英国的首任部长。也许英格兰人也一样，但他们从未被问及。任何举起独立旗帜的人都会被击垮并被谴责为种族主义者。

斯温尼称这次会议是“英国一个重大且关键的时刻”，并补充道：“苏格兰、威尔士和爱尔兰的人民拥有自决权。他们有权决定自己的未来。”

但看来英格兰人没有这个权利。近年来，随着所谓“凯尔特边缘地带”分离主义运动的兴起，关于英格兰对英国宪法构成感到满意的假设已被证明是完全错误的。他们乐于接受由英格兰纳税人支付的补贴，但却愤恨这个国家的权力和主导地位。

已故的北爱尔兰民族主义社会民主劳工党（SDLP）领导人杰里·菲特（Gerry Fitt）曾这样描述：“他们的口号是‘英国人滚蛋’——但请把钱包留在壁炉架上。”

英国其他三个部分在没有英格兰纳税人支持的情况下如何生存是一个谜。根据巴内特公式（Barnett Formula）向苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰政府分配的公共资金，去年分别为 450亿英镑、200亿英镑 和 180亿英镑。

根据 2025 年的支出审查，苏格兰和威尔士政府的人均资金将继续比英国政府的同类支出高出 20% 以上，北爱尔兰行政机构则高出 24%。

如果他们全部独立，你必须考虑到他们的税收收入将被保留，但英格兰仍然会获利。甚至在 2014 年苏格兰独立公投时，苏格兰民族党（SNP）的信条就是该国将凭借石油资金而繁荣。

但民族主义者现在对北海钻探失去了兴趣，而水电能不太可能产生足够的收入来维持 500 万人口的生存。

上周，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的一番轻率言论让整个联邦问题再次悬而未决，他暗示如果公众有明确的支持，苏格兰可以举行第二次公投。他将苏格兰的情况与北爱尔兰进行了比较，在北爱尔兰，根据《贝尔法斯特协议》（Good Friday Agreement）的条款可以举行边境投票。

这将由“国内一个明确的共识（即）公众舆论已改变到必须考虑这一呼吁的程度”来触发。他补充道：“我想说，苏格兰的情况完全一样。”

毋庸置疑，这正是苏格兰民族党（SNP）想听到的，并且似乎推翻了伯纳姆之前关于独立是“禁区”的声明。唐纳德·特朗普周末对统一爱尔兰的支持也让情况变得更糟。

但在爱尔兰，两边都必须举行公投，而且考虑到成本和安全影响，不能保证南方会投票吸收北方。事实上，我怀疑爱尔兰共和国尽管对统一持有朦胧的憧憬，但最终会投票选择“反对”。

然而，当苏格兰谈论独立时，从未有人建议英格兰也应该拥有发言权。他们会投票选择留在联邦内，还是将其解体？

为什么英格兰在自己出钱举办的派对上却成了不受欢迎的客人？英格兰人一直认为公开的民族主义有些降低身份。凯尔特边缘地带需要通过民族日来维护其身份认同。但作为这些岛屿上的主导民族，英格兰人一直觉得自己超脱于这一切之上。

在中世纪，圣乔治日被英格兰视为一个节日。然而在1707年的《联合法案》之后，此类庆祝活动便陷入了停滞。

一旦英格兰和苏格兰将各自的民族身份融入到英国这个共同关系中，个体表达便不再被需要——直到1998年苏格兰权力下放。

当苏格兰看起来可能投票支持独立时，英格兰人开始发声。2011年的普查显示，70%的英格兰人口将自己定义为纯粹的英格兰人，或者英格兰人与某种其他民族身份相结合，而非英国人。

然而，2021年的普查显示此类声明大幅下降，这可能是因为当苏格兰投票决定留在英国后，对“英国性”的威胁显然已经解除。此外，大规模移民的影响也需要被考虑在内，因为16%的

英格兰处于尴尬的境地，无法重新主张其民族地位，却又与自己作为主导部分的联邦渐行渐远

的英格兰人口出生于海外，且可能认同自己是英国人。

但既然分裂的阴影再次笼罩，接下来该怎么办？或许是一个联邦制的英国。劳工党的《英格兰权力下放与社区赋权法案》被部长们赞誉为“里程碑”，但实际上并非如此，因为它没有解决其人民的集体认同问题。

目前提出的方案是市长制、联合当局（暂时搁置）、部分权力和预算的去中心化，以及英格兰进一步的碎片化。但既然英国的其他组成部分已经重新成为自治实体，为什么英格兰反而要被拆分？

解决这一问题最直接的方式是建立一个联邦，设立一个英格兰议会，使其对仅影响英格兰选民的政策负有唯一责任。该议会可以设在约克而非伦敦，且如果受邀，其首席大臣可以在这些会议上发表意见。

威斯敏斯特将像对待苏格兰那样，负责经济事务、大部分税收、外交与国防政策以及移民。然而，这种模式一直遭到抵制，因为英格兰议会将与威斯敏斯特竞争。

在赋予苏格兰议会、威尔士议会以及让 Sinn Féin 在北爱尔兰掌握主导权的剧变中，英格兰被排除在外，依然处于一种尴尬的境地——无法重新主张其民族地位，却又与自己作为主导部分的联邦日益疏离。

明年是埃塞尔斯坦统一英格兰1,100周年。它是世界上现存最古老的国家之一。难道它不配在决定自己未来的谈判桌上占有一席之地吗？

世道人心 / 迈克尔·迪肯

左翼的道德观真是件奇事。以悉尼·斯威尼（Sydney Sweeney）为例。据《卫报》报道，这位迷人的美国金发女演员因在一家体育博彩公司的最新广告中裸体出镜而“饱受抨击”。由于她全裸跨在篮球筐上，以及仅穿着一条内裤躺在台球桌上，她显然被认为犯了“将女性体育性化”的错误。

但按理说，尤其是《卫报》的读者们，绝不可能不认可斯威尼女士的行为。相反，他们应该义正辞严地挺身而出，为她辩护。

毕竟，“我的身体，我的选择”这句话怎么了？

多年来，进步主义者一直严厉地告知我们，女性选择如何处置自己的身体是她自己的私事，任何人都没有权利对此进行批评。因此，显然，当一名女性选择在广告中出现，用裸露的胸部夹住两个美式足球时，这条不可逾越的规则必须适用。斯威尼女士的身体，斯威尼女士的选择。另一个神圣不可侵犯的信条是“性工作也是工作”。那么，如果真是这样，为体育博彩公司担任裸体模特也一定是工作。既然从事性工作的女性绝不能被羞辱或污名化，那么为体育博彩公司担任裸体模特的女性也绝不能被羞辱或污名化。

此外，进步主义者还是所谓“身体正向（body positivity）”的不倦倡导者。因此，他们应该热烈地为这位年轻女性赞赏，因为她在裸体状态下展现了如此出色的自信。

然而，出于某种原因，斯威尼女士似乎在左翼人士那里只得到了指责。去年，当她为一个牛仔裤品牌拍摄广告时，她不仅被指责“迎合性别歧视的刻板印象”（因为露出了部分乳沟），而且离奇地被指责为“推广优生学”（显然是因为广告语是“Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”，听起来像“great genes”，即拥有优秀的基因）。

随后，在《卫报》报道斯威尼女士是一名注册共和党选民后，左翼社交媒体用户给她起绰号叫“MAGA芭比”。这让人倍感困惑，因为我的印象是，在格蕾塔·格威格（Greta Gerwig）广受好评的2023年电影之后，芭比现在被视为自由主义女性主义的骄傲灯塔。

真是太奇怪了。不过，如果进步主义者不愿捍卫女性拍摄半裸打高尔夫球的不可剥夺之权，我想我只能亲自来做了。

首相先生，我确实试过警告您。在周六的“世道人心”专栏中，我耐心地向我们的政治阶层解释，在公共场合打击佩戴面部遮盖物的人，却允许布尔卡（burka）豁免，这是一个错误。正如我所指出的，这是因为在朴茨茅斯（Portsmouth）等地抗议非法移民的蒙面男子暴徒，必然会开始自己穿上布尔卡。

就在同一天的晚些时候，发生了什么？在朴茨茅斯的一场反对非法移民的抗议活动中，一名男子穿着布尔卡出现了。

毫无疑问，更多此类抗议者将效仿他的做法。因此，我希望政府现在能意识到其做法的愚蠢。尤其是因为这必然会让警方陷入极其尴尬的境地。

毕竟，如果一群这样的男人告知警方，他们穿布尔卡是因为他们认同自己是穆斯林女性，警方又如何反驳？白人有权皈依伊斯兰教。而生物学上的男性有权认同自己是女性。那么，警方凭什么说穿着布尔卡的男人不是真正的穆斯林，或者说不是真正的女性？

众所周知，近年来我们的警察为了提高包容性付出了艰苦的努力。因此，如果因为拒绝认可这些白人男性穆斯林女性的身份而毁掉所有这些成果，那将是多么遗憾。坦率地说，我认为这将既是伊斯兰恐惧症，也是跨性别恐惧症。而且我相信跨性别穆斯林社区的所有人都会同意。

无论如何，如果劳工党部长们能读读《世道》（Way of the World），这整件令人遗憾的事情本可以轻易避免。通常情况下，我不鼓励政府增加国家支出。但为了阅读本专栏而订阅《电讯报》，将是对公共资金的一次有价值的利用，并能让部长们免于陷入许多尴尬之中。

周日做午餐时，我注意到我正在使用的盐包上有一个相当奇怪的地方。顶部标签写着：“喜马拉雅顶级岩盐。已有 2.5 亿 年历史。”但底部却贴着一个小标签，上面写着：“最佳食用日期：01 Aug 2027。”

换句话说：这盐在十亿年的前四分之一时间里是没问题的。但在那之后就不要用了，以免它过期。

红海航线再次陷入危机

尽管唐纳德·特朗普日益焦虑地试图结束这场危机，但海湾地区的局势仍在深化。伊朗继续抵制美国对其油气基础设施的袭击，尽管这些袭击显然正在摧毁其经济。现在，胡塞武装——德黑兰的代理人——对也门政府阵地发动了闪电战，夺取了该国整个红海海岸线。此前，其与沙特阿拉伯的停火协议已经破裂。

胡塞武装在周日对沙特阿拉伯的石油基础设施发动了多次袭击，并占领了战略要地佩里姆岛（Perim）。他们现在控制了曼德海峡（Bab-el-Mandeb），该海峡将阿拉伯半岛与非洲之角分隔开来，是国际航运和全球石油供应的关键通道。

他们的攻势得到了伊朗支持的民兵从伊拉克发射的无人机的支持，导致东西石油管道受损，沙特当局随后将其关闭。该管道通常每天运输数百万桶石油。沙特贸易商担心，除非尽快重新开放，否则出口石油库存将在几天内耗尽。

虽然胡塞武装表示他们将仅针对红海中的沙特船只，但考虑到胡塞武装在 2023 年至 2025 年期间对据称与以色列有关的交通工具发动的袭击，其他挂旗船只不太可能依赖此类保证。这将迫使航运公司使用绕道好望角的更长路线，从而推高商品价格。

胡塞武装的袭击一度将油价推高至每桶 108 加元以上，天然气价格上涨 5%，达到 2022 年 12 月以来的最高水平。由于海湾国家与伊朗之间原定讨论在霍尔木兹海峡建立临时航道的会议被推迟，市场进一步陷入动荡，全球五分之一的石油和天然气供应通常经过该海峡。

这一进展对地区和全球经济的严重性不应被低估。直到现在，人们一直依赖沙特阿拉伯来制约胡塞武装，沙特对反叛军阵地进行了数百次空袭，但未能将其战斗人员驱逐。

在请求美国帮助打击胡塞武装后，沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼昨日在吉达与美国中央司令部司令布拉德·库珀（Brad Cooper）海军上将讨论了这些进展。

鉴于其对伊朗发动的不幸战争所造成的混乱，据称特朗普总统不愿帮助沙特人，并且不认为当前的暴力升级影响到美国利益。在他访问爱尔兰期间，他表示胡塞武装已告知华盛顿，他们只关注沙特阿拉伯。“我可以告诉大家，一切都会处理得很好，会非常棒，”他说。但局势可能会迅速失控，以色列正在提高其海军部队的戒备状态。

在美国中期选举之前，对美国经济的潜在影响可能会再次迫使特朗普先生采取行动。

然而，在 AI 领域，旨在遏制其从实用工具转变为能够独立行动（且可能产生恶意）实体的努力，在落实方面进展缓慢。2023 年在布莱切利园举行的一次安全峰会以世界领导人和科技企业家的一项承诺结束，即不对互联网发布潜在危险的 。

但这并未能阻止大型生产商不断突破可能性的边界，以至于他们现在对 进步的速度表示担忧。该领域最大的参与者——OpenAI、Anthropic、SpaceX 和 Google DeepMind——已联合要求刹住增长的脚步。但显而易见的反应是：他们为什么不直接拔掉自己创造物的电源？既然他们是 的始作俑者，停止它就在他们的能力范围之内。一些持怀疑态度的观察人士对“ 代理已经脱离人类指令独立行动”的说法提出了质疑。

中国真的愿意将其 产业向全球审查开放吗？既然答案几乎肯定为“不”，唐纳德·特朗普便担心美国公司放慢速度，同时坚称他掌控着局面。

劳工党对改革党巨额捐款的伪装愤怒缺乏说服力

先生——如果劳工党收到了两笔来自海外选民的3600 万英镑m捐款，它是否会提出一项法案，禁止此类个人每年捐赠超过14英镑的礼物（见9月14日报道《改革党就“两级捐款”制度攻击工会》）？

我认为不会。这纯粹是对奈杰尔·法拉奇和英国改革党（Reform UK）的恶意攻击。 乔·史蒂文斯（Jo Stevens） 萨默塞特郡，格拉斯顿伯里

格拉斯顿伯里，萨默塞特郡

先生——我看不出个人向政党捐款（据称是为了影响未来的政策）与工会捐款（其目的只能是这个原因）之间有什么区别。

在大多数情况下，捐款是如何产生的并不重要。 鲍勃·哈特（Bob Hart）

诺丁汉郡，纽马克 fully prepared for power. This cannot be an unhealthy development.

关于我们的选举制度被两个极富之人劫持的说法也是伪造的。他们是在资助一个政党，而不是在贿赂全国所有的选民。 彼得·罗伯茨（Peter Roberts）

柴郡，南特威奇

先生——罗杰·霍华德（9月14日来信）似乎反对向改革党提供的巨额捐款，并担心这将给国家“强加一个特朗普式的政府”。

认为人们捐款给、并可能投票给“错误”政党的观点是傲慢的，而且忽略了这样一个事实：选民仍然必须被该政党的政策和论点所说服。

鉴于我们目前被一个无能且危险的劳工党统治，许多人会认为，一个特朗普式的政府恰恰是目前所需要的。 艾伦·汤姆林森（Alan Tomlinson） 柴郡，切德尔

先生——改革党是一个较新且可能准备不足的政党。然而，这些捐款将有助于创建一个政党

先生——有人建议对政治捐款引入新的限制，并追溯适用。在我看来，使此类法律具有追溯力是不道德且欠考虑的。

如果政府试图要求改革党退还捐款时合法但现在被禁的款项，这可能会引发一场旷日持久的法律斗争，甚至可能持续到下次大选。政府并不保证能获胜。

在一个自由社会中，只要合法，人们应该能够向他们认为代表自己观点的任何政党捐款。在这方面，限制此类捐款的提议本身就是不民主的。

最终，任何长期的法律博弈都会产生反作用，只会确保改革党获得持续的免费宣传。 希利·库尔顿（Heeley Culton） 布里斯托

凯尔特独立

先生——凯尔特民族的代表在威尔士会面，讨论他们的独立问题（见telegraph.co.uk 9月14日报道《新芬党称伯纳姆无法阻止英国的终结》）。我想知道他们需要多久才能意识到，这实际上是在赋予英格兰独立。 马丁·巴斯通（Martin Bastone） 西萨塞克斯郡，东格雷因斯特德

东格雷因斯特德，西萨塞克斯郡

先生——我毫不怀疑爱尔兰在某个时间点会统一，但最好的前进方式肯定应该是交给爱尔兰人民决定。我相信，他们会更倾向于延迟但和平的统一，而不是遭受外部干涉，以及在像唐纳德·特朗普（9月14日来信）这样自私的人鼓励下，由强迫的、过早的统一所带来的进一步冲突。 R·戴维森（R Davidson）

国防延迟

赫特福德郡，索布里奇沃思

先生——贵报（9月13日）关于推迟订购新型攻击潜艇的报道称，首艘潜艇直到“2030年代中期”才会开工建造，这说明了政府不愿将国防资金投入到所需水平。

福利国家是否会提供俄语和汉语课程，以便我们在战争爆发时做好准备？安东尼·特雷弗林·凯默顿，伍斯特郡

先生——如果没有国家安全，社会任何其他领域的安全都无法得到保证。然而，本届政府现在不仅没有为我们的武装部队提供充足的资金，反而强迫他们削减开支。这简直是疯狂。

学校屏幕测试

全球AI竞赛

先生——作为一名在接待班（reception classes）拥有多年经验的退休教师，在读到贵报关于该年龄段数字化评估的文章（“劳工党的数字化接待班测试让四岁孩子‘哭泣’”，报道，9月14日）时，我感到震惊。

被逍遥音乐节忽视的英国作曲家

先生——对于关于美国需要在中国之前实现超智能的论调，我越来越不信服（报道，9月14日）。假设美国在2027年实现，而中国在2028年紧随其后。那么，究竟赢得了什么？

校长及其工作人员应当抵制这种强加的行为。接待班教师每天与孩子们相处五个小时，能够非常深入地了解他们，在智力进步与情感需求之间取得平衡。僵化的屏幕测试在这种环境下没有立足之地。 芭芭拉·劳恩兹 伦敦 SE3

房东之法

先行者可能会获得暂时的军事或经济优势，但历史表明，技术突破很少能长期保持排他性。想想太空竞赛、核武器、半导体以及无数其他技术。成为第一可以带来声望和短暂的优势，但未必能赋予持久的霸权。

后来人们纷纷涌向那家酒吧，甚至竞争着被赶出去。我父亲相当遗憾他从未被扫地出门。 莱斯利·汤普森 萨福克郡，拉文汉

先生——我的父亲很少喝酒，但在 20 世纪 80 年代，他偶尔会在剑桥郊外一个村庄的 Tickell Arms 酒吧喝杯香槟啤酒（见 9 月 12 日来信）。那里的吸引力在于一个出了名粗鲁的房东，如果他对某个顾客产生反感（他经常在顾客点餐时挑剔其口音或语法，并反对“左翼疯子”和“不穿领衬衫的人”），他就会大喊：“你被禁入——滚出去！”

我们认识的一个男人在买了一瓶昂贵的葡萄酒试图给约会对象留下深刻印象后，被驱逐出店，感到十分尴尬。那位店主——他给自己起了一个宏大的名字叫金·约瑟夫·霍利克·德·拉·塔斯特·蒂克尔（Kim Joseph Hollick de la Taste Tickell）——认定该男子同行的女性并非其妻子（事实确实如此），并表示他不会为“阴险的通奸者”服务。

也许真正的竞赛不应该是关于谁先到达那里，而应该是谁能安全到达，以及一旦他们到达后，我们能否防止一场军备竞赛。格雷厄姆·安德鲁

先生——在今年的促音乐会之夜（Last Night of the Proms）成功地呈现了爱国歌曲和传统的挥旗仪式后，BBC Radio 3 的主管萨姆·杰克逊（Sam Jackson）很可能觉得他可以自我祝贺。随着今年夏天 20 部首演作品的推出，BBC 对新音乐的支持是不容置疑的。然而，我写这封信是为了挑战杰克逊先生对新奇之物的崇拜。

英国作曲家哈弗加尔·布赖恩（Havergal Brian，1876-1972）今年迎来 150 周年诞辰，但在一个偏好爵士乐、前卫摇滚和混杂电影配乐的混合音乐季中，他被刻意忽略了。布赖恩出生于斯托克-昂-特伦特，是一位工人阶级出身、自学成才的天才，一直创作到 90 多岁。今年应该是展示他 32 部交响曲中的一部——事实上应该是全部——的时机，其中大多数作品是在他 70 岁之后创作的。这种晚年的活跃是其众多标志之一

英格兰教会的复兴之路

奥地利，默德灵，布伦-암-格比里格

先生——我是一名罗马天主教徒，但目睹英格兰教会似乎在迅速衰落（见9月13日读者来信），我感到由衷的悲哀。

布莱恩拥有非凡的天赋，曾受到理查德·施特劳斯和爱德华·埃尔加的赞赏——奇怪的是，感恩而死乐队（Grateful Dead）也欣赏他，该乐队的慈善基金曾为他提供资金支持。为布莱恩正名无疑是我们由公共资金资助的广播机构的责任。在他那个时代，他得到了BBC制作人罗伯特·辛普森（1921-1997）的鼓励，后者本身也是一名作曲家。他在20世纪50年代和60年代被重新发现的故事尚未完结，而杰克逊先生未能对此进行探讨。

圣若望·保禄给我们留下了一部伟大的著作——《概论》。它将我们的信仰阐述得让所有人都能理解。但这部著作基于一个三脚架：上帝的话语、天主教传统和教导权。这并非某种新时尚。

威尔特郡，马尔伯勒

许多基督教教派 批评天主教徒过于依赖传统

关于布莱恩是否应该进入英国伟大作曲家的名人堂，他的音乐必须被定期播放，以便人们能自行判断。他是一位真正的人才，还是仅仅是一位小众的作曲家？我认为，在他诞辰150周年之际，剥夺这个机会是对布莱恩记忆的极不尊重。 吉尔斯·伍德

因为他们仅关注圣经。他们忽略了新约的所有内容都是天主教传统。我们被教导不要批评其他教派，但发现有些教派仍在摸索应该信仰什么。我对英格兰教会的建议是，尽快确定其信仰并据此行动。这将创造稳定性，而稳定性是增长的路径。 安德鲁·巴格登 米德尔塞克斯郡，哈罗

先生——那些仍然认为加入欧盟是经济增长之路的人，需要考虑最新的数据。政府指出，英国是G7经济体中增长最快的一个。然而，7月的月度数据显示，增长是由英国的AI投资和开发驱动的。

相比之下，欧盟的AI创新被监管所扼杀，因此远远落后于我国。 奈杰尔·托马斯

马术冠军

先生——杰玛·史蒂文斯和萨菲·奥斯本分别赢得了伯利马术赛和圣莱格经典赛，她们的成就理所当然地占据了体育新闻头条。同样应当意识到，在连续的两个周末里，安妮公主都为获胜者颁发了他们应得的奖项。马术界对她坚定不移的支持深表感激。 EMC 莎士比亚 西伯克郡，纽伯里

铁窗后的床位与早餐

先生——约翰·詹金斯的来信（“来自法国当局的援助”，9月12日）让我想起了1961年的一次经历，当时我和另外两名来自伦敦大学学院（UCL）的大学生正从丹麦搭便车前往瑞典。

当时天色已暗，一辆警车停在我们身边询问我们在做什么。当我们解释意图后，他们告诉我们夜晚出行太危险，应该上车。他们把我们开到警察局，给了我们牢房睡觉，而且最绝的是，在送我们上路之前，早上还给我们提供了早餐。 科林·霍斯 萨福克郡，本特利

改革党的重大胜利使其成为了一个加密货币政党

查尔斯·摩尔 笔记本

改革党有权，且应当有权接受两名加密货币亿万富翁提供的 7200 万英镑m。政党应当能够在任何时间、以几乎任何方式自由地成立。他们需要资金。劳工党试图限制政治捐款，这正使其趋向于将政党国有化，使政党成为国家的机关而非公民的载体。

尤为令人不齿的是，政府通过安杰拉·雷纳之口，谈论要使新的限制措施具有追溯力。追溯立法是一种抢劫人们的方式：人们遵守当时的法律，随后却发现自己因遵守法律而受到惩罚。这赋予了政府专断的权力。

因此，改革党理应享受这两次重大胜利。然而，这些金额如此巨大，其心理影响可能类似于普通人赢得数百万彩票后的状态——先是狂喜，随后是困惑、孤独，并最终陷入贫困。

通过接受此类巨额资金，改革党将产生各种后果。

其中一个可能是，捐赠者克里斯托弗·哈博恩和本·德洛为了捐款而恢复了英国居民身份，但他们可能很快就会离开，就像东方三博士在伯利恒献礼后返回东方一样。他们不再被需要，且可以逃避进一步的英国税收。

无论他们是否离开，改革党在下次选举前现在都不再需要其他大额捐赠者。所有捐赠者都会感到缺乏动力。

另一个后果是，改革党选择通过其资金来源来定义自己。我们都知道哈博恩先生在上次选举前个人向奈杰尔·法拉奇提供了 500 万英镑m。上周，我们都听说了那次诱捕行动，其中改革党的高级官员被拍到接受了一项看似是不正当支付外国资金给该党的提议。我们知道

改革党是一个痴迷于边界的政党。而加密货币是一个相信超越此类规则的概念

法拉奇先生与唐纳德·特朗普一样，个人从加密货币交易中获益。加密货币正是哈本先生和德洛先生积累财富的世界。

现在我们知道，改革党将依赖加密货币资金生存。这使其与该党试图争取投票支持的英国公民类型相去甚远。正如其名称所示，加密货币（Crypto）是隐秘的（源自希腊语，意为“隐藏”），这与民主政治应有的状态截然相反。加密货币在法律的灰色地带运行。改革党是一个痴迷于国家边界重要性的政党。而加密货币则是一个相信超越并规避边界试图强加之规则的概念。

改革党以其并非按照它所谓的“单一政党”——即工党和保守党——的传统方式构建而感到自豪。它在政治上相当于一家大胆的创业公司——主要由其才华横溢的企业家法拉奇先生构思、推广、拥有并经营。从现在到大选之间，它将不得不面对关于其结构的无尽质询。

在主流政党中，党魁几乎不参与筹款，而是由财务主管负责。改革党是如何运作的？谁有权决定资金如何支出？将向工作人员、政策专家、政治操盘手、活动组织者、公关公司支付什么样的薪水和费用？关于政策制定过程，特别是与商业相关的过程，也将被问到类似的问题。

我重复一遍：只要向公众告知事实，富人愿意帮助政党是一件好事。我不认识哈本先生，但我认识德洛先生好几年了，在我看来，他是一个勇敢、热爱自由且具有公共精神的人，且带有一种相当天真的态度，据他自己所说，他处于“自闭症谱系”中。祝他好运。但他应该明白，改革党的诚信将不断受到质疑。它已经变成了一个“加密政党”。

直到现在，从波兰或从乌克兰西部的利沃夫前往基辅的火车旅程一直感觉相当安全。

自2022年俄罗斯入侵以来，乌克兰领空一直关闭，因此这段带有轻微《消失的淑女》氛围的12小时旅程一直是主要的旅行方式。我自己就曾使用过这种方式，有一次与鲍里斯·约翰逊同行，他是一个特别好的同伴，因为他仍然是许多乌克兰人的英雄。

这个周末，情况发生了变化。俄罗斯袭击了该线路。其目标（虽未命中）可能是载有约翰逊先生及包括我们自己的乔纳森·鲍威尔在内的多位西方国家安全顾问的火车。

弗拉基米尔·普京为什么没有早点这么做？我推测这是因为他此前在伪装，将入侵称为一项“特别军事行动”，因此将其限制在一定范围内。现在，他正陷入一场没有限制的战争。

令人非常遗憾的是，乌克兰的西方支持者现在将面临更大的风险，这将使基辅成为一个更加被围困的地方。另一方面，此前旅程的安全性给西方人造成了一种战争并没有那么糟糕的错觉。这使得我们在向乌克兰提供所需帮助时变得更加迟缓和自满。

我们会反应胆怯，警告不要“挑衅”普京去攻击波兰，还是会加倍努力在军事、财政和政治上支持乌克兰？我们需要明白，普京扩大战争规模并非因为他正在获胜，而是因为他没有获胜。他认为他需要一些惊人的举动来在西方散布恐惧，并平息国内日益增长的不满。我们应该坚定前行。

债券动荡之际，央行准备停止债务出售

对Threadneedle街货币印钞计划的改革可为政府节省高达25亿英镑

作者：Szu Ping Chan

由于借贷成本飙升给财政大臣带来压力，英格兰银行准备停止出售长期政府债务。

Threadneedle街的官员已与财政部及代表政府发行债券的债务管理办公室（DMO）共同制定计划，旨在对其货币印钞计划进行改革。

根据该计划，英格兰银行将停止主动出售20年期和30年期的英国国债（gilts）——这些国债是在其试图在金融危机和新冠疫情封锁期间稳定经济时积累的。

经济学家认为，自2022年以来，出售此类长期债务已使纳税人损失220亿英镑。

消息人士坚称，任何最终决定均由英格兰银行做出。预计公告将于周四发布，届时将伴随一项关于利率的关键投票，市场警告未来一年将有四次加息。

与此同时，全球债券抛售潮在10月28日约翰·希利（John Healey）首次提交预算案之前，给这位财政大臣带来了压力。

上周，由于对通货膨胀上升和政府债务水平不可持续的担忧，英国的借贷利率达到了二十五年多以来的最高水平。与此同时，美国借贷成本昨日也首次在2023年之后触及5pc。

英格兰银行在其量化宽松（QE）计划下，在价格高位时购买了大量长期债务，而现在正以低得多的价格将其卖回市场，导致纳税人蒙受损失。

德意志银行的分析师计算得出，英格兰银行通过所谓的量化紧缩（QT）出售长期债券的平均折扣约为50pc。

预算责任办公室估计，在未来五年中，撤回其债券组合将使纳税人额外承担£100bn的成本。然而，停止长期债券的出售预计到本十年末每年可节省25亿英镑，并为财政大臣缓解生活成本压力提供更多空间。

虽然这能为希利先生节省数十亿英镑，但将使他努力实现日常支出收支平衡的财政规则变得更加复杂。

这是因为停止印钞产生的亏损债券出售，会导致英格兰银行持有更多必须支付利息的储备金。

英格兰银行一直在迅速削减自2009年启动QT以刺激经济以来积累的£895bn债券储备。目前该储备为4900亿英镑，其中约£150bn为期限超过20年的长期国债。

经济学家批评了英格兰银行出售债券的方式，其速度在G7国家中是最快的之一。

Threadneedle街是唯一一家在债券到期前主动向市场出售债券的主要央行，这直接导致纳税人损失数十亿英镑。

改革英国党（Reform UK）副党魁理查德·泰斯（Richard Tice）昨日加强了对所谓“量化紧缩”的抨击。他表示：“我们不应该进行量化紧缩，我们不应该为印出来的钱支付自愿利息。”

根据英格兰银行的计划，主动债券出售将继续——投资者预测明年规模将达200亿英镑——但将排除损失更为严重的长期债务。英格兰银行还将停止直接向投资者抛售债券，而开始将其持有的短期和中期债券直接出售给财政部的DMO，以帮助管理额外的债务供应。

英格兰银行官员此前曾在2022年考虑将债务直接卖回给DMO，正如新西兰采取的做法。然而，由于担心这可能会损害英格兰银行的独立性，该计划未能推进。

英格兰银行行长安德鲁·贝利（Andrew Bailey）多次为银行的债务出售方式辩护，认为停止出售只会将损失拉长到更长的时间跨度。

英格兰银行和财政部拒绝置评。

克里斯平·奥迪败诉，无法撤销金融城终身禁入令

作者：迈克尔·鲍（Michael Bow）与汤姆·桑德斯（Tom Saunders）

在经历一系列性行为不端指控后，克里斯平·奥迪（CRISPIN ODEY）未能撤销其在金融城的终身禁入令。

这位前对冲基金之星昨日在针对英国金融行为监管局（FCA）的申诉中败诉。去年，该监管局禁止其进入金融服务行业，并对其处以 180 万英镑m 的罚款。

英国金融行为监管局（FCA）此前裁定，奥迪先生在试图阻碍其对冲基金——奥迪资产管理公司（OAM）内部关于不端行为指控的调查时，表现出“缺乏诚信”。他否认这些不端行为指控。

在一次内部调查后，奥迪先生于 2021 年 2 月收到 OAM 发出的一份关于“不当行为”的最终书面警告。英国金融行为监管局（FCA）表示，他随后通过解散两个原定举行纪律听证会的执行委员会，阻碍了内部纪律程序。

在驳回奥迪先生申诉的决定中，上级法庭（Upper Tribunal）的法官表示：“他表现出对基于相关情况而合理预期其应达到的标准和要求的漠视。”

“他认为自己的做法没有任何问题，而且他错误地认为自己既是 OAM 行径的受害者，也是英国金融行为监管局（FCA）的受害者。正如他在证词中所述，他认为自己‘在这一切中是受害者’。”

在判决后的一份声明中，英国金融行为监管局（FCA）表示，奥迪先生唯一的目的“就是自我保护，并避免为其行为承担责任”。

这家金融城监管机构补充道：“他滥用权力，无视其行为对公司及其员工产生的影响——特别是那些必须在一种将他的不当行为常态化的文化中工作的女性——这传递了一个明确的信号，即他实际上是不可触碰的。”

处理针对英国金融行为监管局（FCA）决定之申诉的上级法庭（Upper Tribunal）还裁定，奥迪先生在被禁入的同时，将面临 153 万英镑m 的罚款。

英国金融行为监管局（FCA）执行与市场监督执行董事特蕾莎·钱伯斯（Therese Chambers）表示：“奥迪先生显然认为他可以肆无忌惮地行事。当那些负责保护女性员工免受其不当行为侵害的人试图让他承担责任时，他两次将他们解雇。他觉得规则不适用于他，并采取行动来保全自己。”

根据一家外部律师事务所开展的内部报告，奥迪先生在其对冲基金经营的 17 年期间，面临至少 46 项不当行为指控。今年早些时候，他就五名女性对他提出的性侵犯人身伤害索赔达成了和解。

奥迪先生的代表未回应置评请求。

特朗普在呼吁放缓AI发展后，抨击其为“针对AI的病态阴谋”

作者：克里斯·普赖斯 (Chris Price)

在 Claude 聊天机器人制造商 Anthropic 的负责人呼吁放缓该技术开发后，唐纳德·特朗普表示，针对 AI 存在一个“病态阴谋”。

这位美国总统警告称，在 OpenAI、Anthropic、 SpaceX 和 Google DeepMind 的老板们联手要求刹车增长后，中国将会对此感到高兴。

他发起了对 Anthropic 首席执行官达里奥·阿莫代伊 (Dario Amodei) 的个人攻击，称其在伪装成一个“完美的小天使”。

阿莫代伊先生于周六发表了一封信，呼吁全行业放缓速度，以防止安全问题出现“严重错误”。

特朗普先生在他的 Truth Social 平台上写道：“特朗普政府已经阻止了 AI ‘人士’从事坏的，或潜在坏的‘事情’，比如达里奥（Anthropic！），他现在正伪装成一个‘完美的小天使’——我们将继续这样做！”

“我们已经对这些公司拥有巨大的刑事和监管权力！”

“目前正发生一场针对 和数据中心的病态阴谋，而唯一对此感到高兴的是中国。”

在 巨头们呼吁放缓速度后，华尔街的美国科技股大幅下跌，纳斯达克指数最高下跌 1.3pc。全球市值最大的上市公司、 竞赛中半导体制造商英伟达 (Nvidia) 暴跌 4.2pc，而另一家芯片制造商 AMD 则下跌 6.2pc。

中国指责那些因安全担忧而呼吁放缓 开发的科技巨头在“散布恐惧”。中国外交部发言人郭佳昆表示：“散布恐惧、对抗和恶性竞争只会干扰全球 治理进程，不符合任何人的利益。”

他补充说，各国应推动 “开放、包容、普惠且符合伦理”的发展。中国正与美国竞相

昨日韩国综合股价指数 (Kospi) 的跌幅，随后欧洲和美国市场也出现下跌

开发最先进的 。与美国不同，中国在很大程度上依赖于更便宜的“开源”模型，这些模型可以由多个开发者而非单一公司开发。

在这些警告发出后，法国、德国和西班牙的欧洲主要指数最高下跌 0.9pc，此前韩国和日本市场在隔夜交易中已出现下跌。韩国综合股价指数 (Kospi) 暴跌 3.3pc，而日本日经指数下跌 0.8pc。

这让人想起去年科技公司经历的一次剧烈下滑，当时中国公司 DeepSeek 发布了一款 聊天机器人，据称其开发成本仅为 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 产品的极小一部分。

阿莫代伊先生的言论得到了 OpenAI 老板萨姆·奥特曼 (Sam Altman)、Google DeepMind 主席德米斯·哈萨比斯爵士 (Sir Demis Hassabis) 以及埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的认可。然而，由于 OpenAI 和 Anthropic 正准备在华尔街公开上市，一些投资者质疑他们的动机。曾在美国住房市场崩盘中获利的迈克尔·伯里 (Michael Burry) 表示，这些警告“纯粹是为了在 IPO 之前增加人们对其权力的认知”。

来自晨星公司 (Morningstar) 的丹·贝克 (Dan Baker) 表示， 股票的下跌“可能反映了监管机构可能会放缓 开发，以试图避免 Anthropic 和 OpenAI 所讨论的最坏情况的可能性”。

在周日的信中，阿莫代伊先生表示：“我们必须放慢提升 模型能力的步伐。进步看起来仍然会很快，我们必须明智地利用赢得的时间。”

“我提议以安全速度推进前沿技术的措施将不会容易。但我认为，为了人类，我们必须尝试。”

福特警告：忽视成本上涨将“自食其果”

作者：马特·奥利弗 (Matt Oliver)

福特英国区负责人警告劳工党，在担心企业再次遭到“洗劫”之际，如果忽视能源、税收和监管成本的上涨，将是“自食其果”。

丽莎·布兰金 (Lisa Brankin) 表示，这家汽车巨头在英国的业务已经承受着沉重压力，迫使公司必须“非常努力地工作，以确保我们能保住现有的资产”。

在参观福特达格纳姆 (Dagenham) 工厂期间，她在接受《电讯报》采访时表示：“我认为，如果我们认为无论成本如何，新岗位都会留在英国，那么忽视成本问题将是自食其果。”

在捷豹路虎 (Jaguar Land Rover) 决定裁员 4,000 人之后，她的言论代表了英国陷入困境的汽车工业发出的最新警告；与此同时，据报道，财政大臣约翰·希利 (John Healey) 正在考虑进一步提高税收，以填补公共财政的缺口。

布兰金女士指出，近期国民保险缴款和商业税的增加、高昂的工业电价以及政府的电动汽车目标，都是挤压企业的成本示例。她表示：“这种情况终会导致反噬，我认为我们正看到成本——尤其是英国的能源成本——正变得极具挑战性。”

布兰金女士表示，福特的英国业务在其他地方难以复制，其员工高度专业且高效，但她承认“确实有成本更低的经营地”。

政府已收到置评请求。

酒吧顾客将使用数字身份证购买饮品

作者：汤姆·海恩斯 (Tom Haynes)

根据新规定，酒吧顾客在购买酒精饮料时，将可以使用手机上的数字身份证来证明自己已年满 18 岁。

从今天起，酒吧、超市和其他零售商将在收银台或吧台接受数字年龄核查。数字身份证将与护照等实体身份证件相绑定。

《电讯报》获悉，几家大型零售商和酒吧集团有意采用该技术。

一些小型运营商将能够免费使用该身份证核查服务。

政府将此次推广比作非接触式支付的普及，预计随着更多企业开始接受数字身份证，采用率将逐步提高。

随着政府和科技公司加强在线年龄核查，数字身份证公司迅速增长。市场上的最大参与者之一表示，目前每天处理约 100 万次核查。这一激增部分是由 2023 年的《在线安全法》驱动的，该法要求色情网站自去年起必须使用面部年龄估算和照片身份证核查来引入严格的年龄核查。

但面向酒精饮料开放的系统将需要更严格的验证措施。

客户在创建数字身份证之前，必须使用真实文件证明其身份。

在吧台，他们需要扫描面部以解锁一个在约 30 秒后失效的二维码，从而增加将数字身份证转交给他人的难度。

揭秘金融巨头克里斯平·奥迪的陨落

他试图重返金融城，却再次引发大量指控。詹姆斯·沃灵顿、汤姆·桑德斯和路易斯·戈斯报道

克里斯平·奥迪（Crispin Odey）在证人席上佝偻着身子，在接受金融城监管机构律师的交叉质询时，他的声音几乎听不见。这位平日里热情洋溢的对冲基金老板，现年67岁，当时正在提供证词，试图推翻英国金融行为监管局（FCA）对他下达的终身禁入令。

今年早些时候的听证会聚焦于监管机构规则手册中一个晦涩的章节：即奥迪——他在执行委员会能就其“缺乏诚信”的指控对其进行纪律处分之前，两次解雇了该委员会——是否采取了“鲁莽”行为并违反了相关规则。

但房间里的每个人都知道这场诉讼的潜台词：这位对冲基金大亨数十年来被指控性行为不端的历史。

或许正是这些指控的毒性，使得奥迪在回答FCA首席法律顾问克莱尔·西布森（Clare Sibson KC）的问题时，在自傲与回避之间摇摆不定。

随后，当法官询问他为何选择关闭以自己名字命名的对冲基金——奥迪资产管理公司（OAM），而不是尝试出售股份时，他回答道：“我是一个骄傲的人。”

这种挑衅将奥迪推向了一场与金融城监管机构之间昂贵的法律之战——这场战争让那些追溯至数十年前的重复性性行为不端指控再次成为焦点。

这场战斗在昨天以奥迪的失败告终。法院维持了对这位金融家的153万英镑（153 万英镑m）罚款——低于最初主张的180万英镑（180 万英镑m）——以及终身禁入金融服务的处罚，裁定金融城监管机构胜诉。

负责审理FCA上诉案件的上级法庭（Upper Tribunal）做出了有利于监管机构的裁决，认定奥迪蓄意干扰针对其不端行为指控的内部调查，同时对金融城规则表现出“鲁莽的漠视”。

法庭表示，奥迪“反复将个人利益置于首位，不顾给OAM及其员工、成员和投资者带来损害的风险”，且认为“自己的做法没有任何问题”。FCA表示：“奥迪先生的唯一目的是自我保护，以避免为其行为承担责任。”

对于许多观察者来说，奥迪在法庭上的表现揭露了这个曾被赞誉为金融城“最敏锐且最反传统的头脑”之一的男人的另一面。

在行事隐秘的对冲基金同行中，奥迪是个异类，他拥有一个极其张扬且浮夸的公众形象。

奥迪出生于约克郡工业家家庭，就读于哈罗公学和牛津大学基督教会学院，主修历史和经济学。

这位对冲基金老板准确预言了9 / 11事件后保险公司的价值将上涨，随后在成功预言金融危机后，于2008年赚得2800万英镑（2800 万英镑m）。这位支持脱欧的金融家在2016年因押注全民公投结果后市场将下跌而获利2.2亿英镑（2.2 亿英镑m），从而在政治对手中进一步声名狼藉。“Il mattino ha l'oro in bocca,” [早晨的金子在口中（意指早起之利）]

大学毕业后，奥迪接管了家族传承数世纪的4,000英亩霍瑟姆庄园（Hotham Hall），但很快被迫出售所有资产以偿还其父亲的巨额债务。进入金融城后，他曾短暂地与鲁珀特·默多克的长女普鲁登斯结婚，但这段关系仅维持了15个月便以离婚告终。

在接下来的几十年里，奥迪成为了伦敦最著名的对冲基金大亨之一，部分原因在于他能敏锐地利用混乱获利。

随后在1991年，他与基金经理尼古拉·皮斯（Nichola Pease）结婚，后者的家族参与创建了巴克莱银行。同年，奥迪在包括乔治·索罗斯在内的早期投资者的支持下，成立了以自己名字命名的公司。

奥迪曾在2010年威胁要离开英国以抗议高税率，他在金融获利之余还涉足政治。在2007年至2019年期间，他累计捐赠了价值170万英镑（170 万英镑m）的政治资金。

……嘴巴]”，奥迪在投票后的第二天早晨向 BBC 夸耀道。

奥迪并非没有经历过失败。奥迪资产管理公司（OAM）在 2015, 的巅峰时期管理资产达 133亿美元 (99亿英镑)，但其 fortunes 经历了剧烈的波动。1994, 年，他的其中一只基金损失了 44% 的价值。

不过，毫无疑问，奥迪通过其押注获得了丰厚回报。他的薪酬在 2010 年达到 3600 万英镑m 的顶峰，据估计，他与妻子的净资产在 2019 年达到 7.75 亿英镑m。

除了自己的基金外，奥迪还持有 Sky 公司的重要股份，在 Comcast 以 390亿美元 将其收购后，他将这些股份变现。

其中一部分资金流向了鲍里斯·约翰逊和保守党。近期，他向奈杰尔·法拉奇的改革党（Reform）捐款。他的大部分捐款都流向了支持脱欧的团体。这位金融家拥有一个……

这场在“Me Too”运动之后展开的审判获得了极大的关注，对冲基金主管戴着口罩、由妻子陪同离开法院的照片被广泛传播。奥迪承认曾向一名……

法院还禁止他与除握手以外的其他员工进行肢体接触，禁止邀请或陪同任何女性员工参加活动或购物旅行，或通过短信或电子邮件与她们联系。

指控之所以如此之久才浮出水面，部分原因被归结为 OAM 内部的一种共谋文化。但这也是奥迪刻意掩盖指控并清除任何威胁将其公开之人的结果。在 2021, 一份令人震惊的内部报告公布后，OAM 的执行委员会就其行为向奥迪发出了最终书面警告。法庭获悉，在英国金融行为监管局（FCA）的压力下，公司将奥迪的薪酬削减了 40%。

这些指控最早在 2020, 年公开出现，当时奥迪被指控在 1998 年对一名女性实施猥亵袭击，该女性指控他在其切尔西的家中摸她的身体。

奥迪夸张的个性与关于其更具威胁性一面的指控形成鲜明对比。媒体报道以及与城市监管机构的长期争端详细描述了女性涉嫌遭受性侵的事件。在其中一起案件中，一名女性指控他强奸，他对此坚决否认。

有一款以他命名的香肠，而他本人也以惊人的食欲而闻名。在一次与记者的工作日午餐中，他将牛腰子布丁和土豆泥与一份“配菜”——牛里脊和两瓶葡萄酒搭配在一起。

在证人席上，奥迪承认员工认为他是一个“令人毛骨悚然的老男人”，但他为自己对待女性下属的行为辩护。他说：“也许我是一个恐龙；我不明白这其中任何行为如何能被视为性骚扰。”

他的名声为他赢得了“章鱼”的绰号。

奥迪还对《金融时报》（FT）提起了一项 7900 万英镑m 的诽谤诉讼，但在 4 月份撤诉。

后果已经波及到奥迪的私人生活。他与皮斯（Pease）育有三个孩子，但在 2021. 后不久离婚。奥迪随后与戴安娜·维特科娃（Diana Vitkova）再婚，后者是一位出生于保加利亚的金融高管，比他小 26 岁。

奥迪辩称，英国金融行为监管局（FCA）承受着“政治压力”并“试图寻找一个具有象征意义的案例”，并补充说监管机构对他是否“适合且恰当”持有“预设的观点”。

诉讼包括指控奥迪在 1990 年代中期强奸了一名女性，他称这一指控“完全虚假”。

与此同时，由于主要银行切断联系且投资者撤资，OAM 在 2023 年崩溃，迫使公司开始对其……

女性，当时 26, 岁，但否认袭击。他在 2021, 被判无罪，法官裁定该女性的陈述存在“矛盾之处”。两年后，《Tortoise》以及随后的《金融时报》发表了调查报告，概述了奥迪在 25 年间性骚扰或袭击 13 名女性的指控。今年 5 月，在五名女性的案件开庭前几周，奥迪与她们达成了民事和解。

法庭获悉，那个夏天出现了一项新指控：奥迪告诉一名临时前台接待员她应该“找个情人”，随后在分享一次钓鱼之旅的照片时，不小心向她展示了一张其女友的不雅照片。

基金。奥迪在今年早些时候对英国金融行为监管局（FCA）的裁决提出了挑战，显然是试图挽回他在业内可能还剩下的一点地位。

然而，上级法庭的听证会对修复他的名声几乎没有帮助，尤其是在他未能将性骚扰指控从案件中剔除之后。

然而，这一事件被描述为一种“频繁性骚扰”文化的一部分，而这种文化在奥迪资产管理公司（OAM）工作被视为“交易的一部分”。正如他的一名前员工所作证的那样，奥迪是一个“色情狂”，在女性面前“很难控制自己”。

在听证会结束时，FCA的律师指责奥迪向法庭提交了“虚假证据”，并“厚颜无耻”地试图制造一个关于事件的“虚假历史”。

监管机构在提交给法庭的陈述中辩称：“奥迪先生表现出惊人的缺乏自我意识，闪烁其词，前后矛盾，并且倾向于在扮演受害者的同时攻击他人。”证人陈述和法庭证词描绘了一个由一名专横且有时具有虐待倾向的老板所控制的工作环境。

11月，执行委员会计划举行一次纪律听证会，以考虑奥迪是否违反了最终警告。但奥迪抢先行动。在平安夜，这位大亨解雇了整个委员会——一名证人将此举描述为“核选项”。

奥迪资产管理公司总部位于梅费尔区一座五层高的乔治亚风格联排别墅中，其运作方式非常像一个封建国家，奥迪控制着该基金75%的份额。据报道，他以雇佣“伯爵和女孩”而闻名，员工主要是男性且出身于公立学校，而女性通常仅被雇佣为前台接待员。

法庭听取了一起事件，据称奥迪在给一名女员工按摩之前“摸了她的胸部”。随后他被指控试图操纵该女性“保持沉默”。这位对冲基金老板将自己的行为归咎于当天早些时候服用的一种牙科镇静剂。

2020年，OAM委托西蒙斯与西蒙斯律师事务所（Simmons & Simmons）对其创始人的行为进行调查。最终报告详细列出了至少46起针对奥迪的违规指控，时间可追溯至2003年。

克里斯平·奥迪针对FCA的上诉失败，上级法庭维持了对这位金融家的153 万英镑m罚款以及终身禁入金融服务的处罚。

奥迪被指在试图推翻禁令时提供“虚假证据”

随后，奥迪决定无限期推迟对其行为的纪律听证会。他任命了新的委员会成员，但在关于如何推进听证会产生分歧后，他也解雇了这个董事会。

奥迪称员工认为他是个“诡异的老头”

奥迪被指试图让受害者噤声

奥迪称FCA在打击整治中将他当作替罪羊

毫无疑问，奥迪是一个不可小觑的人物。这位对冲基金大亨甚至对FCA本身采取了激进的态度，一度威胁要“直接去找该死的媒体”。

在对该监管机构一名官员的一次爆发式发泄中，他说：“你们逃不掉的——我有一个协议，然后你们这些在阴影中工作的小人物……你们即将制造一场危机。”

目前，这座金融城监管机构取得了胜利。法庭做出了不利于奥迪的裁决，维持了FCA对这位对冲基金经理的所有五项指控，包括他威胁监管机构员工的指控。

他有两周时间提交进一步上诉。奥迪的上诉不仅没有恢复他的名声，反而导致大量指控重新浮出水面。FCA执行执法主管特蕾莎·钱伯斯（Therese Chambers）表示：“在听证会期间，他重新编造历史，将自己描绘成受害者，且没有表现出任何悔意。”

“那种傲慢的特权感以及由此导致的对正当治理的完全漠视，意味着奥迪先生不适合在金融服务业工作。”

而且，尽管奥迪声称并非如此，但这完全是他自己造成的危机。

去年，英国在购买海外石油、天然气和电力方面的支出达到840亿英镑，与此同时，有警告称高税收正在扼杀北海的就业机会并危及能源安全。

这一数字是2022, 以来的最高值，当时弗拉基米尔·普京入侵乌克兰，使欧洲陷入了数十年来最严重的能源危机。

代表石油、天然气、氢能、碳捕集和海上风电行业的英国离岸能源协会（OEUK）的一份报告还指出，进口目前占该国能源需求的40%以上。报告警告称，这使得家庭和企业在面对全球动荡时更加脆弱。

而油价一度飙升至每桶$108.50。

能源价格受到了唐纳德·特朗普与伊朗之间战争的巨大压力。上周，劳工党推迟了关于是否批准北海Jackdaw气田和Rosebank油项目的决定，其支持者表示这些项目将增强能源安全。近日，英国的天然气价格已飙升至四年来的高点。

该报告警告称，历届政府削弱了英国国内的油气部门，加速了国内产量的下降。

在未来十年中，英国将需要5610 亿加元立方米（bcm）的天然气，直到

到2035, 在没有新国内产量的情况下，进口液化天然气（LNG）将占英国天然气供应的比例

报告指出，时间点是2035,。预计英国在此期间仅能生产176bcm。OEUK表示，如果政府采取“可投资的财政制度和务实的许可方法”，这一数字最高可达288bcm。

如果未能实现，到2035, 液化天然气进口可能占供应量的46%，而如果在优先考虑国内生产的情况下，这一比例仅为6%。报告警告称：“液化天然气应被视为国内生产的补充，而非替代品。未来的挪威管道进口同样不能被视为理所当然。”

挪威官员已警告称，北海的供应量正在下降，这将威胁到对英国的供应，而英国约一半的天然气依赖于这个斯堪的纳维亚国家。

报告称，去年从美国进口的液化天然气增加了三分之一以上，从而增加了“对全球市场波动、地缘政治风险以及更高生命周期排放的暴露”。

根据政府的另一组数据，英国购买的液化天然气中有四分之三来自美国。

OEUK的Enrique Cornejo表示：“令人担忧的是，我们正在进口更多的液化天然气，而实际上我们可以利用国内资源满足一半的天然气需求。”

“从气候和排放的角度来看，液化天然气进口的碳强度比国内[生产]的平均排放足迹高出三倍以上。”

在寻找私营部门买家的谈判破裂后，劳工党将国有化英国最大的钢厂之一。

商业大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹（Jonathan Reynolds）表示，如果没有部长干预，Speciality Steel UK (SSUK) 将面临“默认”关闭的风险。其倒闭还将意味着其位于约克郡的罗瑟勒姆（Rotherham）、斯托克斯布里奇（Stocksbridge）和布林斯沃思（Brinsworth），以及中部的韦德尼斯伯里（Wednesbury）各厂区的1,300工作岗位将会流失。

该公司此前由金属大亨桑吉夫·古普塔（Sanjeev Gupta）所有，在寻找买家的谈判期间，过去一年一直由官方接收人（Official Receiver）接管。

官员们此前与挪威初创公司Blastr进行了深入谈判。然而，雷诺兹先生表示，政府认为潜在买家请求国家支持的要求并不符合性价比。

他说，这意味着防止SSUK即将崩溃的唯一方法就是将其收归公有。这

政府表示，此次收购将由“现有预算”出资，但未透露将为该企业支付多少资金（如果需要支付的话）。他补充说，尽职调查程序正在进行中。

继续经营该企业将增加纳税人的负担。仅该公司位于南约克郡罗瑟勒姆（Rotherham）工厂的员工工资，每月就耗费官方接管人 400 万英镑m。作为国有化的一部分，SSUK 那座已停产数月的电弧炉预计将于 12 月重新启动。

商业大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹（Jonathan Reynolds）表示，让 Speciality Steel 进入清算程序“是不正确的”

雷诺兹先生表示，SSUK 拥有除对经济贡献之外的“战略价值”的“专业能力”，该公司此前曾制造飞机起落架、直升机旋翼以及导弹和炮弹的组件。它同时也是石油天然气、汽车和工程企业的供应商。

雷诺兹先生告诉国会议员：“我们可以任由事件通过清算程序自然发展，并冒着对这些场地的未来失去话语权的风险；或者我们可以采取行动。本届政府选择采取行动。任由其默认走向破产是不正确的。”

Blastr 表示对这一决定感到“失望”。

此举代表了劳工党对英国钢铁工业的最新一次国家干预，目前政府控制了该国总产量的半数以上。去年，部长们还介入并从中国所有者手中夺回了英国钢铁公司（British Steel）的控制权，此前政府还单独向塔塔钢铁（Tata Steel）提供了 5 亿英镑m，以支持其南威尔士工厂的绿色改造。

在古普塔先生的主要贷款方 Greensill Capital 于 2021. 崩溃后，SSUK 于去年进入清算程序。此后，政府一直试图寻找买家。

量化宽松持有量从峰值下降

英国量化宽松时代终结，面临 1000亿英镑 的“宿醉”

作为 2009 年金融危机的遗留产物，“印钱”如今给公共财政带来了沉重负担。作者：Szu Ping Chan

英国的“印钱”实验即将变得更加昂贵。这项最初旨在挽救经济的举措，迅速变成了政府和英格兰银行共同的头痛之源。

2009, 在利率较低但经济急需救助之时，银行开始了“量化宽松”行动。

这种被称为“QE”的手段最早在美国部署，随后由位于针线街（Threadneedle Street）的英格兰银行通过印钱来购买政府债券（即金边债券）。其目标是降低借贷成本，鼓励个人和企业增加支出以刺激经济。

在金融危机期间，这一实验在很大程度上取得了成功。就业岗位得以挽救，且通胀率保持在低位。

然而，在封锁期间，结果截然不同。随着通胀飙升，全球央行被迫提高利率。

英格兰银行总共购买了 8950亿英镑 的债券，起初，印钱确实带来了收益。这是因为银行为了购买债券而创造的资金，最终作为商业银行在针线街的准备金而持有。英格兰银行按照其基准利率（目前为 3.75%）向这些准备金支付利息。

在封锁期间，当利率被削减至 0.1% 的历史低点时，这位“老妇人”（指英格兰银行）从债券持仓收益中赚到的钱，多于其必须支付的利息。

到 2021, 该计划实际上实现了 1239亿英镑 的利润。根据乔治·奥斯本（George Osborne）促成的协议，这笔资金被移交给财政部，奥斯本当时表示这笔钱将用于偿还债务。

但随着利率上升以及向银行准备金支付利息的成本激增，这层缓冲已被侵蚀。与此同时，英格兰银行开始通过所谓的量化紧缩（QT）——即回购债券——积极缩减其资产负债表，目前持仓量已降至 4890亿英镑。

然而，由于如今的债券价格远低于数年前英格兰银行购买时的价格，银行在将其卖回市场时处于亏损状态。换句话说，成本由纳税人承担。

预算责任办公室（OBR）的预测显示，从现在到 2030 年，更高的利息支出和债券销售带来的量化紧缩损失将使纳税人承担近 1000亿英镑 的费用。

银行官员承认，出售债券的行为本身可能将政府的借贷成本推高了多达 0.3 个百分点——这使政府每年的债务利息支出增加了数十亿英镑。经济学家现在认为，从4月起，印钱将开始耗尽公共金库。

凯投宏观（Capital Economics）的英国首席经济学家保罗·戴尔斯（Paul Dales）估计，银行的资产购买政策“将从记录累计利润转为记录累计亏损”。

虽然这个数额令人瞠目，但量化紧缩还影响到约翰·希利（John Healey）平衡账目以及其自身财政规则的能力。

OBR预计，这项账单将在未来几年内使年度赤字平均增加 50亿英镑，同时使债务每年平均增加 90亿英镑。对于一位已经在处理伊朗战争后果的财政大臣来说，这是一份不受欢迎的账单。

养老基金对 30 年期金边债券的需求大幅下降，因为它们不再需要对那些高额的最终薪金养老金风险进行对冲。在上周的一次拍卖中，英国被迫为其 30 年期债务支付自 1998 年以来的最高利率。

德意志银行的分析显示，自 2022 年开始以来，英格兰银行在超过 1000亿英镑 的活跃金边债券销售中已记录了 360亿英镑 的损失。

其中近60%（约 220亿英镑）的损失来自长期金边债券的销售，官员们被迫以低于购买价一半以上的价格将其抛售。

现在的关键问题是，是否有一种更好的方式来处理量化宽松（QE）留下的遗产。一些国会议员和经济学家希望央行完全停止出售长期债券，因为这些债券在投资者中已经不受欢迎。

巴克莱银行（Barclays）表示，这可能会在明年为希利（Healey）节省10亿英镑。

央行已承认面临的压力，并在去年调整了其销售策略，将短期、中期和长期债务的销售比例从原先的均分，改为在不同期限上分别占比40%、40%和20%。

《电讯报》获悉，央行将在本周的利率决议中宣布对其债务销售进行全面改革，彻底结束长期债券的销售。Sanjay Raja 在

印钞即将陷入亏损

英格兰银行向英国财政部（HM Treasury）的净转移额

“真正的问题是谁来承担这项成本，以及这项成本如何随时间分布？”

德意志银行（Deutsche Bank）表示，这一方案具有说服力，并可能为希利节省数十亿英镑，这些资金可用于支持生活成本。

他表示：“由于长期国债收益率处于2008, 以来的最高点附近，在长期端进行销售可能会在市场最薄弱的地方增加期限溢价压力。”

IPPR智库的威廉·埃利斯（William Ellis）表示，量化紧缩（QT）的改变将产生“现实世界的影响”，通过降低借贷成本，有助于缓解生活成本压力。随着量化紧缩的账单预计将继续增长，如果再次发生危机，是否应该启动印钞机也成为了一个问题。

巴克莱银行的杰克·米宁（Jack Meaning）表示，关于英国是否选择了正确的框架来处理量化宽松的成本，目前仍是一个开放性问题。他认为央行应该放弃目前的印钞规则，效仿美国联邦储备委员会（Fed）。

美联储在金融危机和疫情期间同样通过量化宽松购买政府债券，并创建银行准备金来支付这些债券。

但至关重要的是，美联储可以在不需要美国财政部立即提供资金的情况下吸收损失。当美联储支付的准备金利息高于其债券收益时，它会记录一项损失。这使其能够减少或暂停向美国财政部支付的款项，从而在一段时间内平滑影响。

米宁表示，一个更接近美联储的框架可以让央行保留部分在

在银行资产负债表上处于有利状态，以吸收未来的损失。他说：“真正的问题是谁来承担这项成本，以及随着时间的推移，这项成本将如何分摊？”

量化宽松（QE）的混乱局面没有简单的出路。停止销售长期国债在短期内可以省钱，但这并不能让损失消失。由于纳税人面临的账单可能高达数百亿英镑，简单地不顾一切地继续下去正变得越来越难以证明其合理性。

财政部和英格兰银行拒绝置评。两者面临的问题比如何快速缩减量化宽松投资组合更为重大。下一次危机可能会要求再次启动印钞机。在此之前，政府必须想出另一种支付方式。

希思罗机场警告称第三条跑道受青年就业危机威胁

作者：克里斯托弗·贾斯珀（Christopher Jasper）

机场高层警告称，由于英国的青年失业危机，希思罗机场在建设其计划中的第三条跑道时，可能面临技术工人短缺的风险。

机场表示，由于缺乏具备必要资质的年轻人，当 2030 年代开始建设时，希思罗机场及其承包商可能无法为这项耗资 £49 的计划招募到所需的 108,000 名员工。

希思罗机场的目标是在 2030 年代中期交付跑道、航站楼、停车场、道路和其他基础设施，这意味着该项目所需的许多工程师需要现在就受雇并开始培训。

然而，机场警告称，进入工作和培训的年轻人数量出现危机，威胁到工人的供应。希思罗机场的一位发言人表示：“英国在许多对交付重大基础设施项目至关重要的领域都面临严重的技能短缺。”

“希思罗机场的扩建有潜力创造数千个技术岗位，但如果我们现在不采取行动，工人需求超过供应的风险将真实存在。如果没有建设人员，英国无法建设其所需的基础设施。”

根据国家统计局的数据，在截至 6 月的三个月里，近 100 万名 16 至 24 岁的年轻人没有就业、没有接受教育也没有接受培训（Neet）。

YouGov 最近的民意调查显示，其中近 100,000 人担心他们将永远无法摆脱这一类别。

希思罗机场发出警告之际，今日公布的官方就业数据显示，预计截至 7 月的三个月内失业率维持在 4.，预计还将公布关于青年失业的新数据。

为了解决这一问题，机场表示将成立一个由布伦克特勋爵（Lord Blunkett）和罗伯特·哈尔丰（Robert Halfon）主持的新机构，

108,000

希思罗机场预计在建设第三条跑道时需要招募人员。许多工程师现在就需要开始培训

前保守党技能部长，旨在帮助推动更多年轻人就业。

这个所谓的希思罗基础设施技能委员会（Heathrow Infrastructure Skills Council）是与工会大会（Trades Union Congress）及英国制造商协会（Make UK）共同建立的，旨在“确保当希思罗机场扩建创造机会时，有技术熟练的劳动力准备好抓住这些机会”。

虽然政府的目标是在 2029 年前获得跑道的规划许可，但希思罗机场将在与民航局（Civil Aviation Authority）就资金机制达成一致后，在此之前开始招聘部分岗位。

机场方面表示，扩建计划——旨在将年客运量从 8400 万 提升至 1.4 亿 以上——将在英国每个地区创造工程、建筑、物流及更广泛供应链方面的就业机会，其中包括 5,000 个学徒岗位。一名发言人表示：“在近 100 万年轻人未接受教育、未就业或未接受培训的时刻，该委员会将帮助确定那些现在渴望机会的年轻人如何获得进入回报丰厚的职业所需的技能、经验和路径。”

该机构计划与市长及地方当局合作，与雇主、同事和培训提供者举行会议，探讨如何确保“技能管线”的畅通。

布伦克特勋爵（Lord Blunkett）表示，如果劳工党认真对待解决青年失业问题，就必须以“绝对的紧迫感”继续推进像希思罗机场这样具有国家意义的项目。

Hugo Boss 主席在与零售大亨迈克·阿什利（Mike Ashley）的权力斗争中辞职

作者：Eir Nolsøe

在迈克·阿什利加大力度收购这家德国时尚巨头后，Hugo Boss 的主席已辞职。

阿什利先生的 Frasers Group 表示，担任该职务仅一年多时间的斯特凡·斯图姆（Stephan Sturm）将在找到继任者后卸任。

这位亿万富翁大亨的核心心腹之一罗伯特·帕尔默（Robert Palmer）将加入 Hugo Boss 的董事会，阿什利先生的女婿迈克尔·默里（Michael Murray）此前已在董事会中占有一席。

Hugo Boss 的董事会在 7 月拒绝了 Frasers 提出的 17亿英镑 收购要约。这导致 开始增持该公司股份，最终持有 Hugo Boss 48% 的股份。阿什利先生计划将其持股比例提高到 50% 以上，以成为多数股东。

表示，斯图姆先生已“共同同意”辞任主席并离开董事会。

公司称：“ 感谢斯图姆先生作为监事会主席为 Hugo Boss 所做的贡献，并打算在未来与他合作。”

阿什利先生的零售巨头于 2020 年开始增持这家德国奢侈品牌，并在今年早些时候突破了 30% 的阈值。根据德国市场规则，这将自动触发对剩余业务的强制要约。这家 Sports Direct 的所有者正寻求进军高端零售业，而奢侈品行业的增速放缓为交易铺平了道路。

主席被罢免是阿什利先生加强对这家德国时尚制造商控制的另一个迹象， 在该公司是最大的

股东，且领先幅度巨大。 此前表示，此次要约是一个创造“更强大、更具韧性且更成功”公司的机会。

Hugo Boss 成立于 1924 年，并在 20 世纪 80 年代成为企业西装和高端男装裁剪的代名词。 还持有 Mulberry 和 Burberry 的股份，并最近通过一项预包装行政协议以 4000 万英镑m 收购了 Harvey Nichols。

初创公司开设二战以来伦敦最大的武器工厂

作者：马特·奥利弗 (Matt Oliver)

随着重新武装为国防制造商创造了新的就业机会，一家英国初创公司开设了二战以来伦敦最大的工厂。

Isembard 表示，这座占地 160,000 平方英尺的厂区将利用尖端技术，为包括 Babcock、Anduril 和 Tekever 在内的客户制造零部件。

该公司专注于为包括无人机、军用飞机和机器人系统在内的国防设备制造高精度金属零部件。

前电信企业家，旨在支持西方的重新武装。

位于南华克（Southwark）的这家工厂预计到 2027 年底将雇佣约 200 名工人，并将作为该公司在海外扩张时的全球总部。

在政府同样寻求重建国防工业基础之际，此次开业为安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）推动英国“再工业化”提供了助力。随着北约联盟寻求威慑与俄罗斯的战争，整个欧洲更高的国防开支正刺激对新武器、弹药和车辆的需求。Isembard 的创始人亚历山大·菲茨杰拉德（Alexander Fitzgerald）表示：“制造业是一个国家安全、繁荣和使命感的源头。”

“自第二次世界大战以来，还没有人在伦敦开设过这样的工厂，这告诉了你我们的工业基础被允许萎缩到了什么程度。”

“将生产线迁回国内是未来十年的工作。我们现在需要的是我们这一代最顶尖的工程人才加入我们。”

商业大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹（Jonathan Reynolds）对这一公告表示欢迎，他说道：“这正是再工业化——

“制造业是一个国家安全、繁荣和使命感的源头”

——英国的核心所在。将制造业带回英国，支持我们的关键产业，并在全国范围内创造高技能就业岗位。”

“我的使命是创造企业在英国投资和扩张所需的条件，以推动每个邮政编码区域的增长和机遇。”

“来自 Isembard 的这个令人兴奋的消息，标志着对这一雄心的巨大信心投票。”

Isembard 由身为陆军预备役人员且是 的菲茨杰拉德先生于 2025 年创立。

根据 Isembard 的说法，包括家族经营的机加工店在内的小企业占据了零部件制造的 95%，但它们正在“迅速消失”，平均所有者年龄在 65 岁或以上——且有五分之二计划在五年内退休。

该公司表示：“这种工业能力的侵蚀，正与由回流生产和关键产业支出增加所驱动的航空航天、国防、能源和机器人公司激增的需求相碰撞。”

但菲茨杰拉德先生主张，通过结合内部软件和现代工厂机器，这家英国公司可以介入填补这一空白，甚至能比中国的竞争对手更廉价地生产先进零部件。

Isembard 经营自己的工厂，同时也经营一个特许经营的工厂网络，所有这些工厂都使用其专有的 MasonOS 软件。

该公司已从去年初的 4 个站点增加到 16, 包括在法国和德国的新工厂。其目标是到 2028, 年底在英国达到 100, 个，该公司称这一扩张将创造 2,200 个高技能就业岗位。

“无法建设”的英国是全球之耻

本·马洛（BEN MARLOW）

虽然中国工程师在数周内就能建成摩天大楼，但英国僵化的规划体制却在拖我们的后腿

下次当你发现自己时间过多时，请在 YouTube 或 TikTok 上搜索“中国超级工程”。我保证，你不会失望的。

社交媒体上充斥着大量迷人的视频，赞美中国那些高效且高技能的工程师完成巨型建设项目之迅速。

其中一些视频拥有数百万次观看量，例如一段 90 秒的延时摄影，记录了中国南部湖南省长沙市一座 57 层高的摩天大楼如何在短短 19 天内建成。阿斯利康首席执行官、公开的中国爱好者帕斯卡·索里奥特爵士（Sir Pascal Soriot）就是那些现在谈论“中国速度”的人之一：正是这种快速执行力，使其汽车工业在不到十年的时间里从落后者变成了明显的领跑者。

同样，中国的制药和生物技术产业曾被轻视为仅仅是廉价仿制药的提供者，而现在它们已处于改变生活的药物研发前沿。

当中国在几天内建成公寓楼、应急医院和桥梁时，英国——这个维多利亚时代的先辈曾令工程界羡慕的国家——似乎几乎停止了建设。几乎每一个被提议的、具有真正变革意义的基础设施项目，要么陷入规划系统的泥潭，要么被更多短视的“邻避主义”（Nimbyism）所阻挠。少数能够启动的项目则因成本激增而延迟数年，且每个人都在为谁该买单而争吵。

然而，由约翰·阿米特爵士（Sir John Armitt）领导的、由私营部门主导的公私合作伙伴关系委员会（Public Private Partnership Commission）的一份详尽报告指出，情况不必如此。

该研究以一个令人清醒的提醒开篇：英国自 1992 年以来没有建设过一座水库。但它本可以选择其他多个例子，例如三十年来没有建设过一座核电站，或者我们为希思罗机场的第三条跑道争论了四分之一个世纪。

与此同时，道路正在损坏，监狱不堪重负，英国水务监管局（Ofwat）警告称，人口增长和气候变化可能会使英格兰在未来 25 年内面临每天数十亿升的用水缺口。

英国面临的最大问题之一是官僚主义程度之高，在某些时候，这看起来就像是 1990 年代末转向市场经济之前的中国。英国僵化的规划和监管体制是一场诅咒，大幅推高了成本和交付时间，这对私营投资者来说是巨大的阻碍，而随着国家财政紧张，资金匮乏使得资助急需的项目变得更加困难，私营投资者将变得日益至关重要。

约翰爵士的发现确实令人震惊，应该让那些在每一个可能环节阻碍进步的官僚们感到羞愧。仅英国的施工前阶段平均就长达 65 个月。而在中国，他们建设丹阳-昆山大桥（世界上最长的桥梁，全长超过 102 英里）所花的时间比这更短。与此同时，在英国，国家重大项目获得开发许可的平均时间在 2009 年至 2019 年间翻了一番，交付周期在 2012 年至 2021 年间增长了 65%。

与其他国家的对比足以让人落泪。咨询公司 Bradshaw Advisory 对全球 5,000 多个价值超过 10亿美元 (7.4 亿英镑m) 的项目进行分析发现，英国项目从宣布到竣工平均需要近 12 年半——在所有中高收入国家中时间第二长。

不出所料，这导致我们支付了巨额溢价：道路建设成本比同类国家至少高出 20%，核电站成本高出约 50%，铁路成本则是两倍。

在如此令人尴尬的延误面前，要在现在到本十年末之间筹集预计所需的 2580亿英镑，用于通过建设新水库、监狱和学校来使英国现代化，其机会顶多是渺茫的。

我们在 G7 国家中的投资水平已经是最低的。牛津经济研究院（Oxford Economics）的一份独立报告发现，在过去 25 年里，英国的投资落后于除希腊以外的所有主要经济体。

正如委员会所指出的，在公共财政已处于崩溃边缘的情况下，这些关键基础设施并不可能通过增加借贷来筹资。由于税收负担处于二战后的最高水平，增加税收也不是一个现实的选择。这使得英国不得不低声下气地向养老基金和海外投资者寻求资金。然而，在英国，定额缴款计划中用于基础设施的平均配置仅为 3%，而澳大利亚的同类计划约为 14%。

该委员会认为，英国若要吸引所需的私人资本，首先需要对僵化的规划和监管体制进行全面改革；而要实现这一点，白厅必须克服其对风险的厌恶。

希思罗机场建设第三条跑道的计划已经经过了高等法院、上诉法院和最高法院的审理，尽管得到了戈登·布朗、特蕾莎·梅以及基尔·斯塔默爵士政府的支持，但它们仍在等待规划许可。这是一场国家耻辱。委员会还指出了核能监管工作组（Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce）令人震惊的调查结果，该工作组将英国成为全球核电站建设成本最高的地方归咎于一种“重流程轻结果”的文化。

值得赞赏的是，委员会提出了一系列可能打破僵局的重大变革，包括要求所有所谓的独立机构（如英格兰自然保护局 Natural England）必须支持经济增长。

其中最引人注目的建议是创建一个独立的基础设施机构，其“公信力与预算责任办公室（OBR）相当”，且向议会而非部长汇报。

被认为具有国家关键重要性的项目，在议会认可后将提交“议会确认投票”，以减少约翰爵士所称的法律挑战这一“可怕的循环”所带来的威胁。采取更激进思考的需求从未如此紧迫。

英国陷入了一个可追溯至近二十年前全球金融危机的低增长或零增长陷阱，而且这种情况注定会变得更加严重，而非减轻。解决这一问题应当被视为一项国家紧急任务。

冲浪时代结束了？冲浪者警告称，如果当地议会推进对本镇同名码头进行数百万英镑翻修的计划，伯恩茅斯可能会出现冲浪者大逃离。冲浪者表示，除非更换码头腐烂的木制登岸平台，否则这将破坏使该海滩成为绝佳冲浪地的条件。

现在提高利率只会给英国遭受重创的经济带来更多痛苦

卡勒姆·皮克林 (KALLUM PICKERING)

一旦价格冲击过去，通胀就会回落。

伊朗战争正在推高通胀，但在国内，货币条件紧缩且支出疲软。

上周，经常出错的欧洲中央银行（ECB）今年第二次提高了存款利率，至 2.5%。

虽然由于能源市场再次出现动荡，欧元区的通胀率已攀升至 3.3%，但欧洲央行的应对措施可能会扼杀本就贫血的增长势头，而这种势头本身足以在价格冲击过去后将通胀率拉回。

在大西洋彼岸，美国经济继续强劲运行，消费者和企业在股市繁荣和财政慷慨的推动下意气风发。美国通胀率为 3.4%，仅略高于欧元区，但美联储应当收紧政策。随着需求增长飞速前进，持久的通胀回响（这无法自行修复）的风险正日益凸显。市场认为，美联储明天有九成概率效仿欧洲央行，将联邦基金利率提高到 3.75-4% 的区间。

在英国国内，7 月的通胀率为 2.9%，货币市场预计英格兰银行将在本周四的会议上维持利率不变，然后在 11 月加息。在未来一年中，利率博弈者押注英格兰银行将加息四次。到本周末，行长安德鲁·贝利（Andrew Bailey）可能是最后一位依然坚守岗位的主要央行行长。他应该省省力气，找个座位坐下。

央行采取协同行动具有一种诱人的逻辑——尤其是当短期通胀率可能同时被飙升的能源价格推高至 2. 目标之上时。但国内情况仍然更为重要。

英国的需求看起来并未过热。这不像 2022, 年，当时过度的财政和货币宽松引发了 40 年来最严重的通胀危机。请注意，虽然俄乌天然气冲击加剧了通胀问题，但它并非主要驱动因素。

通胀率在 11% 左右达到顶峰；但在 2022 年 2 月（即战争爆发前三周）的预测中，英格兰银行已经预见通胀将上升到约 7%。

在疫情期间，年度 M4 货币供应量增长率达到 13%，而当俄罗斯在 2022 年第一季度入侵时，名义 GDP 增长率达到了 14%。今年上半年，名义 GDP 增长 4.2% 时，货币增长率为 4.6%。

英国在过去四年中从高压经济向低压经济的转变在劳动力市场中最为明显。职位空缺数已从 2022 年中期的 130 万 个骤降至截至 7 月的三个月内的约 700,000 个，而私营部门的常规薪资增长率大致减半至 2.8%。

鹰派评论员强调通胀预期仍然过高。确实如此。但这只是故事的一半。当支出势头疲软且工资议价能力较弱时，此类预期不太可能变成自我实现的预言。

与此同时，金融和货币条件看起来已经很紧俏。受通胀担忧影响，影响整个经济借贷利率的国债收益率大幅上升。

2022 年 9 月，英格兰银行将利率提高了 0.5 个百分点至 2.25%，而当时 10 年期国债收益率为 3.4%。如今，银行基准利率为 3.75%，而 10 年期利率为 5.4%，为 2007 年夏天以来的最高水平。

尽管近期有所上升，但目前的实际和预期通胀率远低于 2022. 年。经此调整后，实际利率和名义利率依然更高。

这解释了抵押贷款和住房市场的疲软、家庭储蓄的增加以及资本市场的停滞。

采取行动的本能是由 2022 年的教训塑造的。但这些教训经常被误述。更好的参考（尽管远非完美）应该是 2008 年和 2011, 年，当时布伦特原油价格飙升至每桶 $120 以上（而今天约为 $108），并曾短暂将整体通胀率推高至 5. 以上。

在2008年的能源冲击期间，央行通过降低利率来抵御不断演变的金融危机；而在2011年的冲击中，即便当时银行利率处于0.5%，央行也只是简单地将其视作暂时现象而予以忽略。

随后，正如现在可能发生的情况一样，由于国内基础经济疲软，第二轮效应得到了控制。贝利在上个月的杰克逊霍尔研讨会上指出：“我们看到第二轮效应相当低迷”。

利率制定者休·皮尔、梅根·格林和凯瑟琳·曼在7月份投票支持将银行利率提高0.25个百分点至4%——这主要基于风险管理考虑。这并非不合理。但0.25个百分点的加息所能提供的保障微乎其微。如果大幅加息，虽然能限制通胀上升，但代价将是实际产出和就业的损失。

受能源价格上涨影响，英国的通胀将在冬季上升——如果能源市场不能尽快冷却，利率升至4%以上可能是现实的情况。但加息既不能生产出原油，也无法重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。

这关乎权衡。能源冲击带来的成本必须在某处体现：要么是价格上涨，要么是产出损失。

作为较轻的代价，央行应当容忍暂时的通胀超标，以避免进一步伤害这个已然伤痕累累的经济体。

沙特管道遭导弹袭击后，柴油价格创四年新高

作者：Melissa Lawford 和 Eir Nolsøe

由于针对沙特阿拉伯的导弹袭击震惊全球能源市场，柴油价格已飙升至四年来的最高点。

汽油和柴油的零售价格均达到了 2022 年 8 月以来的最高水平，当时正处于由俄罗斯入侵乌克兰引发的生活成本危机的高峰期。

专家警告称，随着油价上涨 3% 并突破 $108 每桶，柴油价格可能会创下历史新高。周六针对沙特石油管道的袭击威胁到全球 4% 的石油供应，导致油价攀升。

由于伊朗在应对美国和以色列的袭击时使该水道无法通行油气运输船，霍尔木兹海峡的关闭已经影响了燃料供应。在沙特阿拉伯与也门胡塞武装发生冲突之际，伊朗与其他海湾国家关于控制该海峡的谈判于昨日推迟。

柴油价格昨日达到每升 191.68 便士，超过了 4 月 15 创下的此前伊朗战争期间的最高点 191.54 便士。

根据 RAC 的最新数据，这使得为一辆典型的家庭柴油车加满油的费用超过 £105，柴油零售价格自 2 月底伊朗战争爆发以来已飙升 35%。

与此同时，汽油零售价格攀升至 169.68 便士，创下战争爆发以来的新高。自冲突开始以来，汽油价格飙升了 29%，为一辆家庭汽油车加满油的费用达到 £93。RAC 的 Simon Williams 表示：“两种燃料的价格目前都回到了 2022 年 8 月初的水平，即乌克兰战争爆发后仅几个月的时间；自 9 月初以来，价格每升上涨了 8 便士。”

“而且随着原油价格远超 $100 每桶，高昂的零售价格以及给依赖车辆的驾驶员带来的痛苦似乎看不到尽头。”

“事实上，柴油的平均价格可能会超过 2022 年 6 月 25 2022 创下的 199.05 便士的历史最高纪录。”

在这些数据出炉之际，印度企业集团 Essar Group 确认已同意收购分布在英国各地的 118 家加油站。

Essar 表示将收购英国最大的独立加油站所有者之一 SGN Retail，从而将其在英国的加油站数量增加到 235. 家。此次交易发生在加油站市场经历整合以及监管机构审查燃料价格的背景下。Essar 的燃料零售部门 EET Retail 的首席执行官 Arvan Ruia 试图向消费者保证，此次交易将为“英国驾驶员提供具有竞争力的零售价格”。

Essar Group 由印度亿万富翁兄弟 Ravi Ruia 和 Shashi Ruia 于 1969 年创立，该公司还拥有位于柴郡的 Stanlow 炼油厂。

汽油零售商协会（Petrol Retailers Association）的 Gordon Balmer 表示，在税收增加和盗窃频发的背景下，该行业出现了日益严重的整合趋势。

他表示：“我们看到相当数量的小型家族企业正将其出售给更大的集团。独立部门已经发生了相当多的整合。”

Zuber Issa 同意从破产的 Prax Group 收购 85 家加油站，作为构建新燃料帝国的举措之一。此次收购使其三年前启动的 EG On The Move 业务规模扩大到 285 家加油站。

这些站点将继续由独立委托经理运营，EG On The Move 承诺将进一步投资于即食食品、电动汽车（EV）充电、便利零售和客户设施。

Issa 兄弟——Zuber 和他的兄弟 Mohsin ——在 2001 年于大曼彻斯特郡的伯里（Bury）买下一家单体车库后，将其之前的业务 Group 发展成为欧洲最大的加油站运营商之一。

兄弟俩在 2020 年收购了 Asda，但此后分开了各自的商业利益，Zuber 在 2024. 出售了他在该超市的股份。Zuber , 54, 在 2023, 成立了 On The Move，此后该公司收购了 Group 的英国业务以及来自 Applegreen 的 98 家加油站。

由桑吉夫·库马尔·苏赛皮莱（Sanjeev Kumar Soosaipillai）及其妻子阿拉尼·苏赛皮莱（Arani Soosaipillai）创立的 Prax Group 去年在日益沉重的财务压力下崩溃，导致数家关键公司进入破产管理程序，并引发了近年来英国燃料供应链中最大规模的崩溃事件之一。

破产管理人随后指称该公司存在广泛的财务违规行为，但苏赛皮莱先生对此予以否认。

该公司拥有林赛（Lindsey）炼油厂，曾一度供应英国约十分之一的燃料，并经营 TotalEnergies 和 Harvest Energy 品牌的加油站。

防止子女毁掉你的退休生活

虽然成年子女返回家庭居住可能是一件好事，但这并非没有代价，不仅会给你的日常财务带来压力，还可能影响你的退休计划。

成年子女返回家庭可能会导致账单增加或干扰养老金规划。作者：蕾切尔·莱西（Rachel Lacey）

许多父母在子女大学毕业或结束间隔年返回家中时会感到欣喜，但这些所谓的“回旋镖”式回归者并非没有成本。

根据 AJ Bell 的计算，仅一名成年子女返回家中，每年就可能增加 3,000 英镑 或更多的家庭开支。与此同时，约 380 万名 20-34 岁的人与父母同住，相当于该年龄段人群的近 30%。

我们详细分析了安置一名“回旋镖”子女的成本，并邀请财务顾问就最佳应对方式提供建议。

食品：根据英国环境、食品和农村事务部（Defra）的数据，每人每周在食品上的支出为 £47.19。这意味着一年需要 2,454 英镑。

水费：如果你安装了水表，每人平均每天用水 145 升。根据你所在的水务公司不同，这可能会使你的年度账单增加 £200。

宽带：这将取决于你的“回旋镖”子女给 Wi-Fi 带来的额外压力。根据英国通信管理局（Ofcom）的数据，将宽带从第二快升级到最快，意味着月费将从 £37 增加到 £58——因此，如果家中增加的人员迫使你升级，每年可能会花费 £252。

能源：你的燃气和电费受房产规模的影响比受居住人数的影响更大。但你不可避免地会增加洗涤次数，他们也会使用自己的电器。AJ Bell 估计，这可能会使你的账单每年增加约 £100。

这意味着，在不考虑他们的“回旋镖红利”（即他们搬回家后获得的所有额外小福利）的情况下，一名子女搬回家每年的总成本为 3,006 英镑。这些红利可能包括任何事情，从升级流媒体服务以覆盖更多设备，到将他们加入你的汽车保险，或者在购物时为他们买单。

具体成本取决于他们是否在工作。如果他们没有工作，可能会给你的财务带来更大的压力。

AJ Bell 的莎拉·科尔斯（Sarah Coles）表示：“作为一名儿子在澳大利亚待了一年后刚刚回到童年卧室的母亲，我正在经历被‘回旋镖’击中的财务痛苦。能让他回来很开心，但我已经在为额外的食品支出以及想到家庭账单将增加多少而感到心疼。有些人是‘回旋镖’，他们搬出去学习或工作然后回家；而有些人则是‘藤壶’，他们从未搬出去过。”

“回旋镖”如何损害你的未来计划 欢迎“回旋镖”子女回家不仅影响你的短期财务。科尔斯警告说，这可能会对你的退休生活产生更大的影响。

她说：“退休前的‘空巢期’通常是父母在月底有更多剩余资金来关注自身财务需求的时间。”

“人们通常将此视为尽可能增加养老金储备的机会。如果‘回旋镖’子女仍然在家，他们的空巢期可能直到退休才到来，在这种情况下，他们最终退休时的养老金储备可能会比预期少得多。”

成年子女究竟会产生多大影响，自然取决于这种安排持续多久。虽然许多父母希望这只是短期行为，但情况往往并非如此。从住房成本上涨到缺乏有意义的就业机会，众多因素意味着这种情况可能会长期持续。Shackleton 的财务顾问莎拉·斯温福德（Sarah Swinford）表示，越来越多的客户其成年子女即便年过 30 岁仍住在家里。“这对父母产生的影响可能是巨大的，”她说。

“我的许多客户发现，抚养成年子女降低了他们按照预期享受退休生活的能力。包括食物、水电费和其他生活成本在内的家庭开支增加，通常意味着可用于度假、休闲活动和其他退休目标的自由支配收入减少。”

科尔斯（Coles）表示，当这种安排拖延时，它也会影响到更实际的决定：“有些人计划通过缩减住房规模（downsizing）来偿还抵押贷款或增加退休收入。如果他们的后代多年不搬出，他们最终可能不得不搁置这些计划。”

如何让这种安排可行

许多父母希望帮助子女，但财富管理公司 Saltus 的亨丽埃塔·格里姆斯顿（Henrietta Grimston）指出，双方需要进行坦诚的沟通。

她说：“父母应该首先就预期以及孩子打算停留多久进行一次诚实的对话。在实践中，这可能意味着收取租金，或就每月分担家庭账单的合理金额达成一致。目的不是让家庭生活变得像交易一样，而是让这种安排清晰、公平且可持续。”

这里没有标准答案。一些父母收取少量的租金，以帮助支付增加的食物、水电及日常生活的费用，而另一些人则完全不收钱。孩子回归家庭甚至能带来好处，因为在许多父母因工作时间减少而希望增加旅行的时期，孩子可以提供可靠的看家和照顾宠物的服务，或者提供接送服务。

科尔斯（Coles）补充道：“有些人会在寻找工作期间先采取免租安排。一旦就业，他们可以根据自己的承受能力支付名义上的租金。如果他们对搬出去没有表现出任何热情，且没有必须留下的具体原因，那么一个方案就是逐渐将租金提高到接近市场价。”

最终，正确的决定将取决于您自身的情况、子女的具体需求以及您的个人偏好。

斯温福德（Swinford）表示：“我经常与客户分享的核心信息是，‘帮助’与‘救援’之间是有区别的。虽然在子女面临临时财务困难时提供支持是完全恰当的，但父母应首先确保自己的退休收入、应急储蓄和长期护理需求得到了充分保障。”

来自墨尔本的维克多冠军杯赛。南家是劳伦·特拉维斯（Lauren Travis）。西家没有黑桃，在 3NT 局面下领出红桃。特拉维斯对红桃 Q 进行了试牌。一种可能的后续操作是从哑牌出低点梅花，希望东家只有单张梅花 K。这配合第二轮对梅花 8 的试牌，是跑通梅花唯一的机会。

劳伦判断正确，改为跑通梅花 Q。东家保留了梅花 K，暂时封锁了该花色。随后用梅花 A 将其击落。这对庄家来说是一个不错的开始，但方块（鉴于西家

伦敦，15, 1926 年 9 月 15 日，星期三

失业救济金被广泛滥用。

442,051 项申请被驳回。

在昨日发布的劳工部 1925 年报告中披露，该年度共有不少于 603,061 项失业救济金申请被提交至首席保险官，其中 442,051 项被驳回。经查，共有 140,603 名申请人并非在真实地寻求工作，另有 44,300 人拒绝了合适的工作。

在提及申请救济金的年轻人时，报告指出，“在一定程度上，有证据表明他们要么就业意愿减弱，要么在坚持要求特定工资或特定类型的工作。”

报告中的其他段落显示，失业基金的债务在一年内从 5,410 英镑,000 增加到 7,595 英镑,000。

通过劳工交换局（Labour Exchanges）共填补了 1,279,292 个职位空缺，比前一年增加了 135,550 个。

比前一年增加了 135,550 个。对住家佣人的需求继续超过供应，但年轻女性不愿从事此类工作的心态正在逐渐瓦解。

对年轻人的影响。

在关于失业保险的一章中，报告指出，在12个月内提交给首席保险官的救济金申请总计603,061件。其中不少于442,061件被驳回，其中140,603件的理由是申请人“并非在真实地寻求工作”。其他拒绝理由包括：行为不端 80,728件；自愿离职 113,826件；拒绝合适的就业机会 44,300件；贸易争端 20,296件。裁判法院在提交的144,026件案件中驳回了90,026件，而仲裁员在4,683件案件中驳回了3,089件。在当地办公室调查的620,500件案件中，有38,900件被拒绝发放救济金。在这一年里，共有2,034人被起诉，其中1,273人被处以罚款，496人被监禁，146人受到警告，119人被驳回起诉。最普遍的欺诈类型仍然是在就业期间申请失业救济金，1925年的案件中近50%属于这一类别。约40%的案件涉及为了获取抚养人救济金而作出的虚假陈述，例如，虚假陈述申请人的妻子没有从事定期的有薪工作，或者虚假陈述申请人的妻子或孩子由其抚养。其余10%的案件包括（除此之外）虚假陈述申请人未根据《国家健康保险法》领取救济金，或未根据《老年养老金法》领取养老金。“在发现的年轻男女案例中，有人领取了大量救济金，且有证据表明其在寻求工作方面存在懈怠。经常发现，他们最后领取的工资率与救济金率非常接近，且有证据表明，他们要么是就业意愿减弱，要么是在坚持要求特定工资或类型的工作。”

截至1925年12月底，就业交换所的实时登记人数为1,102,400人，而1924年同期为1,273,885人，1923年为1,285,623人，1922年为1,511,377人。1925年大不列颠地区的登记总人数（包括同一人的重复登记）为13,728,238人，而1924年为11,262,887人，1923年为8,774,644人，1922年为8,819,523人。

1925年期间，大不列颠及北爱尔兰失业人数的月平均百分比为11.3%，而1924年为10.3%。这一增长主要归因于煤矿工业的严重萧条。

该报告基于就业交换所、工业法院以及部门活动的许多其他分支机构的记录。

报告指出，在某种程度上，交换所工作量的增加仅仅反映了自1922年最糟糕的日子以来贸易和工业活动的增加，但在很大程度上，它也代表了部门方法的持续改进，以及人们日益意识到，在得到适当支持的情况下，交换所在工业中可以发挥的作用。

报告补充称，对住家佣人的需求仍然超过供应，但年轻女性从事此类工作的抵触情绪似乎正在逐渐消除。就业交换所改进了将年轻女性从就业匮乏的远方工业中心引入居住中心（尤其是伦敦）的安排。

在部门负责的区域内，设有150个青少年咨询委员会，其中21个位于伦敦；年度内共有64,778名伦敦男女青少年被安置就业，而1924年为55,461人。在伦敦郡议会区域内，离开小学的人员中约有25%是通过就业交换所的青少年部门找到工作的。在整个英国，共有126,521名男孩和110,286名女孩找到了空缺职位，年度内通知的空缺职位数量从250,487个增加到292,589个。1925年期间，有2,400名男孩根据批准的移民计划离开本国前往海外，而1924年为1,800人。登记就业的男女青少年月平均人数分别为34,161人和28,976人，表明对青少年劳动力的需求有所改善。

外国人入境

“国王名录”（King's Roll）中的企业数量约为28,000家，雇佣了370,000名残疾男性。截至年底，有31,291名登记失业的残疾退役军人，而前一年为37,599人。

共有6,453名外国人申请入境本国从事固定就业的许可。报告解释称，演艺人员的许可通常期限有限，且考虑到英国国民在外国也享有类似的机遇。 “在酒店和餐厅员工的情况下，大多数许可的发放条件是：必须派遣一名英国青年出国与该外国人交换，以便该青年能够获得学习外语以及在欧洲大陆获得酒店业经验的机会。少数许可已授予外国人，以协助建立新工业，例如甜菜糖业。这些许可的期限有限，且条件是这些外国人被雇佣是为了培训英国国民。”

为了强行完成 3NT，南方在第一轮方块时必须领出 ♦Q（或 ♦J）。如果西方拿走 ♦K，他将被迫出牌。如果他用 ♦7 或 ♦5 避让，那么 ♦J（或 ♦Q）将再次使他陷入被迫出牌的境地。他可以用 ♦2 输掉第五墩方块，但随后南方将从黑桃中获得第九墩。

为了不让南方接触到明手，西方用 ◆5 领出 ◆6。特拉维斯打出 ◆J，收回 ◆10。这是西方正确的想法，通过清除自己的高方块来解套，但在现阶段没有帮助。劳伦用 ◆3 迫使他打出 ◆7，并赢得了场上最后的五墩。共完成十一墩。

答案：

西家如果能保留◆2就好了。假设他在◆A之下出◆5，并用◆7避开◆Q。他将赢得◆K和◆10，并用◆2出局。东家赢得三手黑桃，导致对方输掉一局。

杰里米·托马斯

《末代皇帝》与《性感野兽》背后的电影制片人，始终全力支持其导演

托马斯在1988年学院奖上，持有《末代皇帝》的最佳影片奥斯卡奖杯：该片赢得了所有九项提名奖项

杰里米·托马斯（JEREMY THOMAS）逝世，享年77岁。他是一位英国独立电影制片人，凭借其国际化的品味、敏锐的直觉和深厚的行业洞察力，助力多位世界电影名导拍摄了其职业生涯中最具挑战性的长片。他凭借贝尔纳多·贝托鲁奇在华拍摄的《末代皇帝》（1987）赢得了奥斯卡最佳影片奖，该项目在艺术愿景的同时，也证明了其在后勤执行上的壮举；在《撞车》（1996）引发争议期间，他也给予了大卫·克伦伯格支持，并资助了乔纳森·格雷泽的导演处女作《性感野兽》（2000）。

从一开始，托马斯就热衷于挑战。他的 Recorded Picture Company 公司凭借《疯狗摩根》（1976）涉足制作，这是一部在澳洲内陆拍摄的现代西部片，由嗜酒的丹尼斯·霍珀主演。“参与拍摄的人很多都是纯业余爱好者，”托马斯回忆道，“我们最终为一部成本$400,000的电影签了一份$500,000的合同。这是一笔极好的交易，但随后我们没拿到钱，所以这很具有讽刺意味。不过，这是一次非常好的学习经历。”

随后，托马斯与同样具有探索精神的电影制作人们结识。他凭借耶日·斯科利莫夫斯基的《呐喊》（1978）在电影节上获得了早期成功，该片赢得了戛纳电影节大奖；同时，他与尼克·罗格建立了富有成效的创意合作伙伴关系，为其制作了《糟糕的时机》（1980）、《尤里卡》（1983）和《微不足道》（1985）。“我从他那里得到了关于一切的10年课程，”托马斯说道，并坚称罗格是他合作过的最伟大的导演之一。

此外还有其他候选人。在推广《呐喊》期间，托马斯结识了日本导演大岛渚，后者的《感官世界》（1976）曾在全球引起轰动。两人虽然语言不通，但通过电影建立了联系，其成果便是托马斯首部商业上的成功之作——战俘营题材剧作《圣诞快乐，劳伦斯先生》（1983），该片在波利尼西亚的拉罗汤加岛拍摄，由音乐家坂本龙一和大卫·鲍伊主演。在这些小众

在这些小众成功之后，《末代皇帝》证明了其巨大的影响力：

作为20世纪最后一部真正的电影史诗，它需要19,000名群众演员、$25m的预算以及复杂的幕后谈判。利用东西方关系的一个短暂窗口期，贝托鲁奇的这部杰作成为了1949年以来首部在中国拍摄的西方作品，也是首部在紫禁城内拍摄的长片。当时正在北京进行国事访问的伊丽莎白二世在贝托鲁奇拍摄登基场景时被拒绝进入紫禁城。

影评人们理所当然地被该片的规模所震撼——罗杰·伊伯特认为贝托鲁奇的外景工作“令人惊叹”——奖项评选者亦然：在奥斯卡金像奖上，该片赢得了所有九项提名奖项。对于托马斯来说，这既是一个巅峰，他也承认是“一部难以超越的电影”；他随后与贝托鲁奇合作的项目——在丹吉尔拍摄的改编自保罗·鲍尔斯作品的《遮蔽天空》（1990）以及灵性剧作《小佛陀》（1993）——都难以走出前作的阴影。然而，托马斯的人才组合仍在不断扩展。在感性的贝托鲁奇之后，他又加入了理性的大卫·克伦伯格，首先产生了意识混乱、自由联想的威廉·巴罗斯改编作《裸体午餐》（1991），随后是《撞车》，这部由加拿大导演执导的作品对J.G.巴拉德关于厌倦的恋物癖者通过制造交通事故以寻求快感的故事进行了极具争议的诠释。这同样是一次挑战：托马斯将原著描述为“那种你在阅读时必须移开视线的一类书”。

具有挑衅性，必须避开宣传攻势和局部审查限制才能成为一部小众热门作品。然而，《撞车》（Crash）体现了托马斯全力支持导演的方针：“我依然坚持认为，所有的选择都源于品味而非市场驱动……当你欣赏一位艺术家的画作时，通常能认出其绘画风格。当你拍摄电影时，也应该在一定程度上能认出电影制作者。”

杰里米·杰克·托马斯（Jeremy Jack Thomas）于1949年7月26日出生在伊灵，是导演拉尔夫·托马斯（Ralph Thomas）与妻子乔伊（Joy）两个孩子中的一个。他自称“含着银色胶卷出生”：其父亲执导的《议会医生》（Doctor in the House, 1954）开启了一个系列，为战后的英国电影业提供了支柱，而他的叔叔杰拉尔德（Gerald）则执导了全部30部《继续搞》（Carry On）系列电影。年轻的杰里米在制片厂或外景地度过假期；从10岁起，他就立志要拍电影。

离开学校后，他在电影冲洗部门工作，随后被提升到剪辑室。他的第一次助理剪辑工作让他接触到了老好莱坞：由罗迪·麦克道尔（Roddy McDowall）执导、艾娃·加德纳（Ava Gardner）主演的迷幻民俗恐怖片《塔姆·林》（Tam Lin, 1970）。随后，他参与了肯·洛奇（Ken Loach）的《家庭生活》（Family Life, 1971）、具有里程碑意义的牙买加雷鬼电影《越艰辛越前进》（The Harder They Come, 1972）以及关于大萧条的拼贴电影《兄弟，能给个硬币吗？》（Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?, 1975），

其法澳籍导演菲利普·莫拉（Philippe Mora）随后邀请托马斯担任《疯狗摩根》（Mad Dog Morgan）的制片人。

尽管克伦伯格的电影显得冷漠而古怪，但它同样证明了——

随着千禧年的临近，托马斯增强了他的国际化资历。1998年创立销售代理公司汉威电影（Hanway Films）后，他的首批项目之一便是由钦哲诺布（Khyentse Norbu）编剧并执导的不丹黑马电影《杯子》（The Cup, 1999），讲述了两名年轻僧侣试图弄到一台电视机以观看世界杯决赛的故事；托马斯说，这是“一个让所有参与者都感到非常快乐的故事”。

回到国内，托马斯在当时崭露头角的广告才子乔纳森·格雷泽（Jonathan Glazer）身上押了注；结果，这部令人震撼的《性感野兽》（Sexy Beast）成为了英国黑帮电影周期的杰出之作，其视觉冲击力与粗鄙程度相当。这位制片人随后再次与贝托鲁奇合作，拍摄了关于巴黎“六八”运动的剧情片《梦中情人们》（The Dreamers, 2003），随后与特里·吉列姆（Terry Gilliam）合作进入美国腹地拍摄《潮汐地》（Tideland, 2005）——该片将不列颠哥伦比亚省伪装成破败的德克萨斯州——以及理查德·林克莱特（Richard Linklater）的《快餐国度》（Fast Food Nation, 2006）。

托马斯的制作名单日益呈现出名家与新秀交替的特点。他与克伦伯格再次合作拍摄了《危险方法》（A Dangerous Method, 2011），与斯科利莫夫斯基（Skolimowski）合作拍摄了《必要的杀戮》（Essential Killing, 2010）和获得奥斯卡提名的《EO》（2022）。同时，他也支持新兴的视觉先锋，从焦虑的日本类型片专家三池崇史（《I3杀手》，2010；《初恋》，2019）到优雅的意大利寓言大师马特奥·加罗内（《童话故事》，2015；《皮诺曹》，2019）。

他工作直到生命最后一刻：他参与的维尔纳·赫尔佐格（Werner Herzog）剧情片《Bucking Fastard》（2026）在他去世前一周于威尼斯首映，而他最新的三池崇史作品《坏警探：东京》（Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, 2026）于本周在多伦多首映。他甚至尝试过亲自执导：由其妻子埃斯基（Eski）根据沃克·汉密尔顿（Walker Hamilton）的小说改编的《所有的小动物》（All the Little Animals, 1998），讲述了一个在自然中寻找慰藉的困扰青年（克里斯蒂安·贝尔 饰）。托马斯称这是他唯一一部超支的作品：“我是在和自己争论，所以无论如何我总是赢。”

他在1991年获得英国电影学院（Bafta）的迈克尔·巴尔孔奖，在1992年至1997年间担任英国电影协会（BFI）主席，并于1998年成为BFI会士；2006年，他获得欧洲电影奖世界电影杰出成就奖；2009年，因对电影事业的贡献被授予CBE（大英帝国司令勋章）。他还激发了充满温情的致敬片《杰里米·托马斯的风暴》（The Storms of Jeremy Thomas, 2021），在片中，导演马克·库辛斯（Mark Cousins）陪同这位制片人驾驶阿尔法·罗密欧汽车前往戛纳进行年度公路旅行。

2017年，托马斯告诉《电影爱好者》（Cineaste）：“我从不单纯因为认为一部电影会畅销而拍摄。我拍摄是因为我喜欢相关的人员和主题，且我认为它会畅销，但它并非为市场而作——而是为热情而作……我每天醒来依然在思考电影。”

他曾两次结婚。他与克劳迪娅·弗勒利希（Claudia Fröhlich）的第一段婚姻以离婚告终；第二任妻子是埃斯基（Eski，原名薇薇安·考夫曼），她于2023年去世。他留下了与埃斯基所生的两个儿子杰克和约书亚，以及与弗勒利希所生的女儿杰西卡。

格雷厄姆·劳里（GRAHAM LAURIE）飞行中校近日去世，享年 80, 岁。他曾担任查尔斯王子（时任威尔士亲王）的私人飞行员，在长达 19 年的时间里，两人共同飞行超过 700 次。最令人瞩目的是，在 1997 年戴安娜王妃去世后，他正是将王妃遗体运回英国的飞机飞行员。

在 Sunday August 31 1997, 劳里原计划驾驶女王飞行队的英国航空航天 BAe 146 飞机，从阿伯丁接查尔斯王子和哈里王子，并将他们送往莱纳姆皇家空军基地（RAF Lyneham）。在得知戴安娜王妃昨夜在巴黎死于车祸的消息后，查尔斯王子决定飞往巴黎将她的遗体带回伦敦。劳里的儿子在凌晨参加完派对回家时将其唤醒，告知了来自巴黎的突发新闻。

在 2017 年接受皇家空军慈善基金会（RAF Benevolent Fund）的一次采访中，他回忆道，他原定于上午 10.30am 出发前往王室成员居住的巴尔莫勒尔城堡所在的阿伯丁，而上午 10. “我们被告知，那天晚上我们可能会将戴安娜的遗体运回来”。

这对劳里来说是个惊喜，“因为当时有一项行动指令规定，如果王室成员在海外去世，灵柩在第四天之前不得运回英国”。

在从诺尔特（Northolt）前往阿伯丁接王子的途中，劳里在威特灵皇家空军基地（RAF Wittering）降落，接上了戴安娜的姐妹们。当天晚些时候，在离开阿伯丁前往巴黎-维拉库布莱机场后，他被告知了当晚返回诺尔特的计划。

他回忆道，直到在巴黎降落他才知道，“在我与诺尔特运行中心通话后，国防部立即向全球媒体宣布，戴安娜的灵柩将于 7.00pm 抵达”。直到那时，他才意识到这次行动的紧迫性。

他在六点五十一分（即七点前九分钟）降落在诺尔特皇家空军基地，并滑行至停机坪。在那里，在媒体和电视摄像机的全程注视下，皇家空军女王旗队（Queen's Colour Squadron）的空军士兵们正等待着担任灵柩搬运员并组成荣誉卫队。大约 20 分钟后，他起飞将查尔斯王子送回阿伯丁，与居住在巴尔莫勒尔的王室成员汇合。

“在阿伯丁，令我惊讶的是，查尔斯王子像往常一样来到驾驶舱告别。之后，我的机组人员告诉我，王子和我聊了将近五分钟，但我坦白说，我对当时说了什么完全没有

记忆。”劳里在第二天回到了诺尔特。在 9月 6, 于威斯敏斯特教堂举行的戴安娜葬礼后，劳里将伊丽莎白二世和王太后送回了阿伯丁。他后来评论道，“过去曾为戴安娜王妃飞行过 200 多次，能执行她最后一次回家的飞行，[我]深感荣幸。”

格雷厄姆·哈维·劳里于 December 15 1945, 出生在萨里郡的米切姆，就读于纽马尔登的鲁特利什学校（Rutlish School）。他于 1964 年加入皇家空军并接受飞行员培训。

完成培训后，他在第 46 中队驾驶双发动机的安多弗（Andover）战术运输机。这种多功能飞机占据了他早期飞行生涯的大部分时间。在第 46 中队期间，他通过支持伞兵团和特种部队，以及执行医疗撤离和更常规的通用通信任务，磨练了自己的飞行技巧。

他在文莱苏丹的贵宾航班上服役了两年半，驾驶的是霍克-西德利 748（Hawker Siddeley 748）飞机，而安多弗（Andover）飞机正是由该机型衍生而来的。随后，他加入驻北霍尔特（RAF Northolt）的第 32 中队，驾驶贵宾配置的安多弗飞机。他后来成为一名考官，这使他与女王飞行队（Queen's Flight）保持着密切接触。

1981 年，他被选中担任时任威尔士亲王的私人飞行员，并加入了驻牛津郡本森（RAF Benson）的女王飞行队。他执行的许多海外飞行任务前往的是偏远地区，且航线对皇家空军（RAF）机组人员来说并不熟悉，因此提前进行侦察和验证飞行至关重要。他曾陪同查尔斯王子前往巴布亚新几内亚，陪同安妮公主前往苏丹的达尔富尔地区。对于后一次飞行，当时仅有的资料就是几张简陋的地图和一张多年前拍摄的照片。

安多弗飞机的航程有限，约为 1,000 英里，因此机队增加了航程为 1,500 英里的四喷气发动机 BAe 146 飞机。

除了担任威尔士亲王的私人飞行员外，劳里还负责接送所有王室成员和几任首相。在许多场合，当被公认为资深飞行员的菲利普亲王驾驶飞机时，劳里担任副驾驶。

1994 年 6 月，威尔士亲王在劳里的陪同下飞往苏格兰的艾莱岛（Islay）。飞机在冲出跑道末端时受轻微损坏。在随后的调查中，劳里被认定在最终着陆阶段未能接管飞机控制权，存在过失。尽管有此调查结果，他仍继续履行其在王室飞行队的职责。

1995 年，女王飞行队解散，王室飞行任务移交给驻北霍尔特的第 32 中队，相关人员转入新组织并更名为第 32（王室）中队。王室所有成员相继访问本森空军基地，与飞行队人员会面，标志着一个时代的结束。

劳里原定于 2000 年退休。在退休前，他非常希望能在女王母亲 100 岁生日时为其飞行，因此他拒绝了前往美国参加训练任务的机会。他陪同女王母亲飞往威克（Wick），前往其位于梅城堡（Castle of Mey）的故居进行年度访问，并在几周后陪同其返回。他的最后一次飞行是陪同查尔斯王子前往斯洛伐克、捷克共和国和瑞士的五日之旅。

在女王飞行队服役期间，劳里执行了 2,000 多次王室飞行任务，其中 735 次是作为查尔斯王子的私人飞行员。到退休时，他已累计飞行 13,500 小时。他被授予维多利亚女王皇家成员勋章（MVO）。

退休后，他成为了女王飞行队协会的主席。

在成为白金汉郡的评估员和考官之前，劳里曾是一名顶尖的足球裁判。他也是一名热衷于板球的运动爱好者，长期担任米德尔塞克斯郡板球俱乐部的成员。

他作为讲述女王飞行队经历的演讲者非常受欢迎，并利用这些活动为皇家空军慈善基金（RAF Benevolent Fund）筹集了 2.5 万英镑。他与妻子乔（Jo）被任命为该基金的大使。

他与乔（曾任皇家空军飞行中尉）是格雷特米森登（Great Missenden）的坚定支持者，包括支持当地的艺术协会以及纪念罗尔德·达尔（Roald Dahl）的工作。一位认识劳里的退休空军中将评论说，他是“同行中备受尊敬的飞行员”，且始终专业、可靠且圆融。

格雷厄姆·劳里于 1968 年与乔结婚；其妻以及儿子和女儿在世。

格雷厄姆·劳里，出生于 1945 年 12 月 15 日，逝世于 2026 年 8 月 8 日。

挪威阿斯特丽德公主，哈拉尔五世国王之妹，在国王葬礼两天后逝世

挪威阿斯特丽德公主（PRINCESS ASTRID OF NORWAY）逝世。

她享年 94 岁，是挪威国王奥拉夫五世的次女，也是已故国王哈拉尔五世的姐姐；她与英国的安妮公主颇为相似，在维持王室运转方面发挥了重要但往往被低估的作用。

阿斯特丽德·莫德·英格堡公主于 1932 年 2 月 12 日出生在奥斯陆的王室住所索尔巴肯别墅（Villa Solbakken），父母是当时的王储奥拉夫和瑞典的玛莎公主，后者于 1929 年与奥拉夫结婚。阿斯特丽德是爱德华七世国王的曾孙女，因此是伊丽莎白二世女王的表妹。在她出生时，她是英国王位继承顺位中的第 18 位。

阿斯特丽德的早年时光与父母、姐姐拉格希尔德和弟弟哈拉尔一起在奥斯陆西南部的斯考古姆（Skaugum）王室庄园度过，但在 1940 年 4 月德国入侵挪威后，他们不得不从那里逃离。

在奥拉夫与父亲哈康七世国王在英格兰度过战争岁月，担任军事领导人及挪威流亡政府顾问期间，玛莎和孩子们先搬到了中立国瑞典，随后在 the United States 寻求庇护，并一直留在那里直到战争结束。

阿斯特丽德公主在牛津大学学习哲学、政治学和经济学（PPE），随后在 1954 年母亲因癌症去世（享年 53 岁），以及 1955 年祖父哈康国王在一次事故后不得不使用轮椅的情况下，被推向公众生活。

她的父亲奥拉夫担任摄政王，直到 1957 年哈康国王去世后继位。由于奥拉夫从未再婚，且阿斯特丽德的姐姐拉格希尔德在 1953 年嫁给其保镖埃林·洛伦岑后移居巴西，阿斯特丽德接管了“第一夫人”的职责，在官方活动、招待会和国事访问中陪同父亲。

20 世纪 50 年代后期，她与约汉·费尔纳（Johan Ferner）相爱，后者是奥斯陆一家百货商店老板的儿子，也是一名奥运奖牌获得者，曾在 1952 年赫尔辛基奥运会帆船比赛中获得银牌。

他们希望结婚，但由于费尔纳是平民，挪威建制派中的保守势力对此表示反对。此外，他离异的身份也引起了教会的反对。据称，阿斯特丽德曾威胁如果父亲不同意他们的婚姻，她将进行绝食并放弃王室职责。他最终同意了，她与费尔纳于 1961 年结婚，不过由于奥斯陆主教拒绝主持婚礼，奥拉夫国王不得不请求退休的尼达罗斯主教主持仪式。

阿斯特丽德不得不放弃其“殿下”（Royal Highness）头衔、年度津贴以及在挪威王位继承顺序中的位置，此后被称为“阿斯特丽德公主，费尔纳夫人”。然而，她继续陪同父亲和弟弟——王储哈拉尔参加官方活动和国事访问，直到 1968 年哈拉尔与索尼娅·哈拉尔森结婚，后者接管了大部分“第一夫人”的职责。

阿斯特丽德公主继续在官方活动中代表王室，并参与王室法院的所有重大活动。她担任玛莎王太子妃纪念基金会（Crown Princess Martha Memorial Fund）董事会主席，该慈善信托基金为社会和人道主义项目提供资金支持；她还担任多家慈善机构的赞助人，重点关注女性以及患有阅读障碍的青少年，她本人也患有阅读障碍。

2002 年，挪威政府因其对王室的长期服务授予她一份荣誉养老金。

阿斯特丽德公主与哈拉尔国王关系密切。今年 8 月 27 日，即国王去世前一天，有人拍到她在奥斯陆国家医院陪床数小时后离开的照片。她最后一次公开露面是在 9 月 9 日的国王国葬上，并在两天后逝世。

阿斯特丽德公主的丈夫约汉·费尔纳于 2015 年去世，她留下了三个儿子和两个女儿。

阿斯特丽德公主，费纳夫人，出生于2月 12 1932, 逝世于9月 11 2026

70-UP：最终章 ITV1, 晚上9点

当格拉纳达电视公司（Granada Television）在1964年播出《Seven Up!》时，这本应是一次性的尝试。

见证一个人生命的完整过程，有一种难以言表的凄美感。1964, 格拉纳达电视公司聚集了一群来自不同背景的七岁儿童，拍摄了一档探讨阶级的节目。这原本被设计为一次性节目。然而，当这群孩子年满14, 岁时，已故导演迈克尔·阿普特德（Michael Apted）产生了一个想法：在他们成年后的生活中继续追踪这些孩子，每隔七年进行一次访谈。六十年后，这部史上最宏大的纪录片之一，恰如其分地以一部带有挽歌色彩的两集特别节目宣告完结。

今晚的首集发现这群人——引用半退休的伦敦出租车司机托尼的话——正处于“我生命的最后九洞”。他们的沉思中带有某种可以理解的存在主义色彩，主题围绕着什么才算活得精彩。家庭是一个常见的答案。然而，家庭关系并不总是那么简单。

请看西蒙（Symon）那令人鼓舞的故事，他部分时间在寄养机构长大，在他庆祝70岁生日时，他已经抚养了130名孩子。

导演阿西夫·卡帕迪亚（Asif Kapadia）以《艾米》（Amy）和《塞纳》（Senna）等基于档案构建的纪录片而闻名，他出色地让这些故事焕发生机，将档案片段交织在一起，产生了震撼人心的效果。

边境杀手 (2015) BBC One, 晚上10. 40pm ★★★

艾米莉·布朗特饰演一名与墨西哥贩毒集团作斗争的FBI特工

丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦执导的这部禁毒战争惊悚片曾获得三项奥斯卡奖提名。影片开篇气势磅礴，但在深入探讨墨西哥贩毒集团的世界时显得有些迷失方向。艾米莉·布朗特在片中饰演一名 FBI 特工，她被一名美国政府官员（乔什·布洛林 饰）招募，负责领导一支绑架应对小组。她完美地掌控了该角色，但真正成为关注焦点的却是本尼西奥·德尔·托罗饰演的那位神经质的前联邦检察官；与此同时，随着紧张剧情的展开，丹尼尔·卡卢亚为影片注入了至关重要的幽默感。

Villages join revolt over migrant camps

Piddington creates blueprint to help other tiny parishes forced into housing thousands of asylum seekers

By Charles Hymas and Daniel Martin

A VILLAGE fightback against migrant camps is set to spread across the country.

Piddington, in Oxfordshire, will today hold a symbolic referendum on leaving the United Kingdom in protest against plans to move up to 1,250 male asylum seekers into a former army barracks close to the village of 350 people.

Sporting sisterhood tackles ‘sexualised’ Sweeney

The parish has been approached by hundreds of other villages and towns nationwide for advice on replicating the campaign, which has won the backing of the Conservatives and Reform.

As well as the vote, Piddington's villagers have drawn up plans to install a network of wireless CCTV cameras, an emergency alert system and security patrol teams. Speaking to The Telegraph on the eve of the vote, which is expected to pass unanimously, women in the village said they planned to take up self-defence classes over fears about the influx of migrants.

Tim McNally, the chairman of Piddington parish council, said that hundreds of other areas wanted to follow his blueprint to fight back against migrant camps. He said: "We have been working in the background with other areas who feel the same as us, who feel they have not been represented and been run over roughshod. What has happened to our politics to allow this to happen?

"When I first published the blueprint, I had over 500 inquiries from across the UK, from parish and town councillors. The aim of our referendum is for them to go and do it themselves."

Nigel Farage's party has vowed to support any areas that want to hold similar votes. Suella Braverman, the Reform UK MP, who visited Piddington yesterday, said she had heard “from women who are absolutely terrified about what this migrant facility will mean for their families and their community”.

She added: “This is a government imposing its will on local people and expecting them to simply accept it. It is an appalling abuse of power.” Chris

Philp, the shadow home secretary, said: "It shows the depth of anger being felt here but it also reflects the anger felt across the country at the failure on border controls."

‘These women are absolutely terrified about what this migrant facility will mean for their families’

Piddington, near Bicester, is one of three proposed new asylum camps on former military bases. Camps at Crowborough in East Sussex and Wethersfield in Essex have already opened as Labour seeks to decant thousands of migrants from hotels, and find accommodation for the 17,000 Channel migrants who have arrived so far this year. The sites are not detention camps, meaning asylum seekers housed there are allowed to walk freely around surrounding villages.

Mr McNally said the Government had failed to provide any data on the criminality of migrants, leaving villagers in the dark and fearing the worst.

He complained the village had been given only 10 days to respond to a 1,000-page planning document for the site. "We have been confronted with a total lack of democracy," he said. "No consultation."

Mr McNally's blueprint sets out in eight stages how to stage a local referendum. Encouraging others to follow

Ahead of the vote, women in Piddington gathered at the village green to protest against the migrant accommodation.

Gina Perkins, 37, a resident with three boys, aged seven, five and 10 months, said: "I am absolutely terrified. We come and play football here a couple of times a week. I am not going to be comfortable letting my children walk down to see their grandparents in the village."

The result of the referendum is expected tomorrow morning.

A Home Office spokesman said: "The Government is closing every asylum hotel, saving taxpayers over £1bn on asylum support since the election.

"As part of the process, we engage with local authorities and police forces to ensure the safety and security of those in the surrounding area."

‘Anti-Semitic rot’ in NHS revealed

By Laura Donnelly HEALTH EDITOR

A NURSE was given a Nazi salute by an NHS colleague after he discovered that she was Jewish, an investigation has revealed.

The incident is one example of a catalogue of anti-Semitic abuse allegedly suffered by Jewish patients and workers in the health service.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism said its investigation, detailed in a documentary, exposed “the anti-Semitic rot at the heart of our NHS”.

In another case, a surgeon operating on a Jewish cancer patient allegedly told him that Jews killed Palestinian children “for fun”. They allegedly made the remarks while cutting a cancerous growth from the man's forehead under local anaesthetic.

The results of the investigation have been published amid attempts to tackle anti-Semitism in the NHS.

The documentary, called Malignant: Anti-Semitism in the NHS, features Shelley Lipman, a registered nurse at a Cambridge hospital, who said she was subjected to a Nazi salute after a colleague discovered she was Jewish.

Ms Lipman said a healthcare assistant asked about Hebrew calligraphy tattooed on her arm, prompting her to explain that she was Jewish.

After returning from lunch, she said a nurse performed a Nazi salute towards

'I said "You are doing the Nazi salute", and he replied "Yeah". I was gobsmacked'

her while standing by a patient's bed. "I just felt like my jaw dropped for what felt like an hour," she said. "I was just absolutely gobsmacked."

Ms Lipman said she confronted the colleague, saying: "That is the Nazi salute. That is Hitler." She said the colleague replied: "Yeah."

According to Ms Lipman, the member of staff remains at the hospital. "He's still there," she said. "I hate it. I absolutely hate it."

In June, ministers accepted recommendations from Lord Mann, the Government's anti-Semitism adviser, following concerns about growing hostility towards Jewish patients and Continued on Page 6

Farage threatens to cut off Labour union cash | Sussexes switch children's school over security

By Genevieve Holl-Allen POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

NIGEL FARAGE has threatened to cut off Labour's union funding if Reform UK wins the next general election.

In an increasingly bitter row over party funding, Mr Farage hit out at calls from trade unions to limit individual donations while creating a separate set of rules for them.

Writing for today's Telegraph, he says neither of Reform's main donors – the cryptocurrency billionaires Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne – had asked for or would receive anything in return for the £36m donations they had both pledged to his party.

"If anyone is giving money to do political bidding, it's the trade unions," he writes. "So I would just warn the Labour Party here and now: if you try and ban our donors, we in government would certainly ban funding from the trade unions. I don't want to go down that route. But it is something we would be prepared to do."

Today, the Trades Union Congress (TUC) is expected to demand a separate set of rules on capping individual donations to the rules governing union donations. Labour's 11 affiliated unions want any curbs on political donations to differentiate between those from wealthy individuals and union cash.

A union source said they would also be open to a limit on the amount that could be donated, although the mechanism and level had not been Continued on Page 4.

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex have moved their children to a new school because of security concerns.

Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, started at a UK school last week, but will now join another one in the area. A source said: "The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there."

The children spent just two days at the school before the Sussexes removed them over concerns about the commute. Heavy traffic and the distance between the school and their property were critical factors. One incident was said to have made it difficult for the couple's private security team to stay in convoy.

The Duchess of Sussex was yesterday granted her first government-backed security review since quitting royal duties. Both the Sussexes will receive an official risk assessment imminently, following their relocation to the UK.

The couple have been asked by the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) to provide full details of their new daily routines. The committee chairman wrote to the Duke of Sussex last week confirming that in light of their changed circumstances, it had commissioned a new risk assessment for him and a separate one for his wife. Ravec, which is part of the Home Office, Continued on Page 5

Sinn Fein: PM cannot stop us breaking union

NEWS

Andy Burnham cannot stop the United Kingdom from breaking up, Sinn Fein said after signing a pact with the SNP and Plaid Cymru. The first ministers of the UK's three devolved nations – John Swinney, the SNP leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru, and Michelle O'Neill, Sinn Fein's vice-president – signed a memorandum of understanding during a meeting in Cardiff yesterday. Donald Trump, the US president, said last week he would "love" to see a united Ireland. Page 2

Whisky sour? Scotch fury over English malts

A whisky war has broken out with Scotland after English single malts were given protected status. Distillers north of the border have said they are “profoundly concerned” after the Government announced English whisky secured “protected geographical indication status”. It officially recognises English malts as a distinctive whisky category, giving them the same recognition as Scotch, Welsh and Irish whiskies – a move that has enraged the Scotch industry. Page 7

Love for reading may cut dementia risk

Reading for pleasure may lower the risk of dementia by up to a third, University of Cambridge academics have said. In a new review of research, scientists found reading was good for your health, regardless of what you read, with benefits including a boost in mental health, academic performance and greater empathy. One study found that over-55s engaged in activities such as reading were significantly less likely to develop cognitive impairment over a five-year period. Page 9

Bank to overhaul debt sales amid bond chaos

The Bank of England is poised to halt its sales of long-term government debt, in a move that will save Chancellor John Healey billions of pounds as borrowing costs soar. Officials at Threadneedle Street have drawn up plans with the Treasury and Debt Management Office, which issues gilts on behalf of the Government, to overhaul its money-printing programme. Under the plans, the Bank will stop selling the longer-dated bonds – including 20 and 30 year gilts. Page 17

Devolved nations in deal to break up UK

First ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland sign pact insisting on right to independence

By Simon Johnson SCOTTISH POLITICAL EDITOR

ANDY Burnham cannot stop the UK from breaking up, Sinn Fein said after signing a pact with the SNP and Plaid Cymru. The first ministers of the UK's three devolved nations – John Swinney, the SNP leader, Rhun ap Iorwerth, leader of Plaid Cymru, and Michelle O'Neill, Sinn Fein's vice-president – signed a memorandum of understanding at a meeting in Cardiff yesterday.

The deal aims to pile pressure on the Prime Minister after Donald Trump, the US president, said he would “love” to see a united Ireland.

Ms O'Neill, Northern Ireland's First Minister, said Mr Burnham "will not be able to hold back the tide" of nationalism in Scotland, Wales and Northern

Ireland. Speaking at a joint press conference, she said: "We're certainly living in times of enormous change, change that is unstoppable, change that, no matter what is said by any British prime minister, they will not be able to hold back the tide of what's happening in front of our eyes right now.

"Our common cause here is the understanding that Westminster does not and will never serve our people well. Our common cause here is that we have the right to self-determination, and the common cause that we have here is that we need to collectively ensure that message is heard in Westminster."

She said Irish reunification was “very much on the table”, despite Mr Burnham’s claims otherwise, and that Mr Trump’s comments at the weekend “very much reflect that there is a chorus now of people that are engaged in this debate”.

The memorandum noted that, after Plaid Cymru won May's Welsh elections, all three separatist parties were in power simultaneously for the first time.

"There could be no clearer sign that Westminster's time is coming to an end," it said. "We believe that constitutional change is coming."

The pact stated the three nations had a “right to self-determination” that Westminster could not block. Each of them would move towards a break from the UK “in its own way and in its own time”, it said.

It argued that the UK Government should make the necessary preparations for constitutional change in all three. The agreement also pledged for the nations to join the EU after independence, despite Wales having voted for Brexit and warnings that this would create a hard border with England.

The pact said: “Our nations have the right to self-determination. No Westminster government has the right to block democracy.”

Mr Burnham has ruled out “engaging in constitutional debates or further referendums”.

Russell Findlay, the leader of the Scottish Tories, said: “Many people across Scotland will recoil at the sight of John Swinney joining forces with Sinn Fein in their shared desire to destroy the United Kingdom.”

Mr Burnham's spokesman said: "The Prime Minister is committed to delivering change across all four nations of the United Kingdom, and believes strongly in the Union.

"The United Kingdom is at its best when people come together around our shared values and problem-solving, rather than division."

Private firms to charge tolls on new roads under Labour plans

By Gareth Corfield

TRANSPORT CORRESPONDENT

LABOUR is giving private companies powers to impose tolls on newly upgraded motorways and A-roads.

Under new rules, businesses will fund improvements to major roads instead of the taxpayer. In return, those companies will be allowed to charge drivers for using them.

It raises the prospect of motorists having to pay up front before being able to drive on the newest, best-maintained motorways and A-roads.

“Drivers already pay for roads with £34bn in fuel duty and vehicle excise duty [road tax], so extra charges would be a toll too far,” said Edmund King, the president of the AA.

The driving force behind Labour's new Highways (Financing) Bill was existing plans for the Lower Thames Crossing, government sources said.

For years, construction for the new Kent to Essex tunnel was expected to be funded through private investment paid off through tolls imposed on drivers. However, the new bill does not restrict itself to that tunnel. The new legal powers can also be expanded to apply to any future “trunk road”, meaning A-road or motorway.

Labour's proposed law will also grant enforcement powers to the new toll

£34bn The amount that drivers in the UK already pay in fuel duty and vehicle excise duty (road tax), according to the AA

companies. Private agents operating with written permission from toll firms will be given powers to break into cars whose drivers are suspected of using “false documents” to pass through tolls without paying.

As the bill currently stands, it will become a crime punishable by six months imprisonment or a £500 fine to “intentionally obstruct” such agents. Similar powers will exist to target drivers accused of using jammers to cause “interference” with “required equipment” such as toll tags, which automatically track and bill vehicles using toll roads.

Mr King said: “Whilst drivers would welcome improvements to bottlenecks and maintenance on the strategic road network, they would want reassurance from Government that granting of a licence to private contractors does not mean these roads will be tolled.”

The Government said new charges would be regulated by the Office of Rail and Road, insisting toll firms would not be left to charge whatever they pleased.

A Department for Transport spokesman said: “A licence holder would not be able to introduce new tolls without permission, and any tolls introduced under this legislation will be capped and independently regulated.

"This Government is improving conditions for drivers with a record £24bn investment to fix roads."

Cambridge can refuse to give Arday evidence

By Telegraph Reporter

THE University of Cambridge can refuse to hand over evidence to the Jason Arday inquiry.

The independent review into the university's handling of events leading up to Arday's death published an in-depth paper detailing the inquiry's scope yesterday. It laid out how the review would deal with “disputes about disclosure” and suggested that the university would be able to withhold certain documents.

The paper, published on Cambridge's website, stated: "Where a document is withheld, the university will tell the review that it is being withheld, on what ground, and in enough detail for the review to decide whether to contest it."

The review is being led by Nazir Afzal, a former chief prosecutor and current chancellor of the University of Manchester.

Writing in the paper's foreword, Mr Afzal said: "It cannot say why Prof Arday died. That question belongs to the coroner, who can compel evidence, who sits in public, and who will reach conclusions I have no business anticipating.

“Anyone reading this in the hope that I will supply that answer should stop now and wait for the inquest. What I can do is narrower and still worth doing. I can establish what the university knew about his circumstances, when it knew it, what it did, and whether what it did was reasonable on the information in front of it at the time.”

The review, which will not determine legal liability, is investigating what support, interventions and welfare protections were available to Mr Arday in the period before his death.

Arday, 41, was found dead at an address in Battersea, south London, on Aug 14, just more than a week after he had resigned as professor of sociology of education at Cambridge.

A spokesman for the university said: "The University Council is committed to being as transparent as possible subject to applicable legal, privilege, privacy, welfare and confidentiality requirements."

Two die taking part in Great North Run

Two men have died while taking part in the Great North Run, the event organisers said.

Both runners were aged 25 and from North East. Organisers of Sunday's half-marathon said the runners had died despite “the very best efforts” of medical teams. The causes of their deaths have yet to be ascertained.

Organisers said no further details would be released. The Great Run Company said: “Everyone involved extends their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the two participants. We are continuing to support their families.”

Some 63,000 runners took part in the 13.1-mile Newcastle to South Shields run, with Andy Burnham the first sitting prime minister to take part.

Police only solving one in 50 e-bike crimes

Only one in 50 e-bike crimes is solved by police despite a surge in their use in thefts and robberies, official figures show.

Data obtained under freedom of information laws reveal the number of crimes committed on e-bikes passed 10,000 in London last year, but just 221 resulted in the perpetrator being charged, a rate of 2.2 per cent.

The number of crimes committed by people on e-bikes has increased almost five-fold since 2022. A suspect is identified in only one in ten, figures show. Matt Jukes, Met deputy commissioner, said: “We are determined to crack them and new neighbourhood teams are doing more.”

Youths in fireworks attack on synagogue

Hooded youths have attacked a London synagogue with fireworks.

A gang of teenagers is said to have waited outside Lauderdale Road Synagogue in Maida Vale, north-west London, before launching “rocket fireworks” towards the Grade II-listed place of worship. The attack took place on Sunday, during the second day of Rosh Hashanah, as the community celebrated the Jewish new year.

A family, including adults and primary school-aged children, reportedly walked past the synagogue before the attack after attending a Rosh Hashanah lunch nearby.

The Met Police has been approached for comment.

Eyes have it in detecting heart issue, says study

Eye scans could help detect a common heart condition which increases the risk of stroke years before it is diagnosed, a study has found.

The approach could be a non-invasive way to flag atrial fibrillation (AF) to patients before it causes real harm, researchers said.

Experts analysed data from more than 90,000 people and found those with the condition had distinctive biomarkers in their retina.

It is estimated around 1.5m people in the UK have the heart condition, which causes an unsteady heartbeat, although hundreds of thousands more could be living undiagnosed.

The findings have been published in the journal Plos Digital Health.

Nakedly wrong: Stars hit back at Sweeney

Angry female athletes believe Hollywood actress' sexualised advert has set back women in sport

By Emily Smith

SYDNEY Sweeney has been accused of sexualising women in sport after appearing naked in a betting advert.

The Hollywood actress posed for Novig, a sports-prediction market company, in a video that has had almost one million views in four days.

The advert shows Sweeney sitting topless on a basketball hoop, saying: "So they wanted to show just sports."

After saying “sports” nine times while playing tennis, golf and baseball in various states of undress, the US star, 29, adds: “You can’t trade this, I just look good here. No betting on wars or deaths, and no politics. Just you and your take on sports."

It closes as she walks away naked.

The Euphoria star has been criticised by female athletes, who have accused her of setting back women in sport.

Amy Hunt, the British sprint champion, stared directly down the camera after the women's 200-metre final at the World Athletics Ultimate Championship on Sunday and said: "Sydney Sweeney, this is what women's sport looks like. Hard work, sweat, blood, tears. This is a beautiful evening."

Ariarne Titmus, an Australian Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer, said: "How do we live in a world where monetising a woman's body and sexualising women's sport is still a thing?"

She described the campaign as “a kick in the face to every woman who has dedicated her life to perfecting her craft" and to "every woman who enjoys sports for what it really is, teamwork, friendship, dedication, excellence, unity". She said: "Sydney Sweeney, do better."

Gracie Kramer, an American gymnast, posted a

montage of her training regime with the caption: “Idk [I don’t know] what Sydney Sweeney was doing, but this is what a woman in sports looks like.”

Her post prompted a number of female athletes to copy the trend, with several posting videos of their sport and criticising the advert.

Tilly Kearns, a US water polo silver medallist, posted a montage of her sport with the caption: “I absolutely f---ing hate Sydney Sweeney’s new sports ad.”

Skye Nicolson, a world champion boxer, said the advert made a “mockery” of women in sport.

Bree Rizzo, an Australian track sprinter, also posted a video compilation of her training regime with the caption: “There’s so much more to women in sport than how they look. It’s about their strength, skill, dedication, resilience, confidence and everything they’re capable of achieving.”

Sweeney's fee for appearing in the advert has not been publicly disclosed. The actress is not just the face of the campaign, but has also joined the company as a strategic partner and equity holder. Sweeney appeared to hit back by posting images of prominent female and male athletes posing naked for magazine shoots.

They included tennis great Serena Williams, MMA fighter Ronda Rousey and women's footballers Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird. Male American football players Rob Gronkowski, Myles Garrett and Jason Kelce also appeared nude.

Last year, Sweeney appeared in an American Eagle advert that was heavily criticised for using the language of eugenics.

The actress was also accused of playing into sexist stereotypes in the now deleted advert that paid tribute to her “great genes” while the camera zoomed in on her chest.

Months after the advert was released, Sweeney said: I'm against hate and divisiveness."

Balls to this: Female athletes don't deserve to be dragged back to the lads' mag era

Fiona Tomas

VULGAR. Disgusting. Backward. Sydney Sweeney's naked betting advert has done exactly what it was intended to do: cause a stir. Professional sportswomen have erupted in fury at the minute-long video, which shows a nude Sweeney holding different sports balls in a

number of provocative poses. In one, she is sat atop a basketball hoop with her legs splayed, spinning a ball on one finger. In another, she pushes American footballs up to her breasts, not to cover but to maximise them. Balls, balls, balls; they are everywhere. And sportswomen have fought back, united in the message: balls to this.

Sweeney reassuringly tells us that gambling company Novig is “Just Sports” but she unashamedly brings sex into the equation and makes the whole thing extremely problematic in 2026.

‘By inserting herself into a sporting context, she dangerously warps the modern reality for athletes’

This is more than just a Hollywood actress pandering to the male gaze. By inserting herself into a sporting context and leaning into sexual fantasy, she dangerously warps the modern-day reality of female athletes' appearance and capabilities, dragging them back to the "lad mag" era.

No wonder it has not gone down well. After Amy Hunt finished fourth in a blockbuster women's 200 metres final at the Ultimate World Championship on Sunday, she called out Sweeney. Staring straight down

the camera, the eloquent Cambridge graduate said: “Sydney Sweeney, this is what women in sport look like. 21.4 [seconds]. Muscles. Hard work, blood, sweat, tears.”

Of course, Sweeney and Novig knew what they were doing. Going viral online was the objective.

And, let us be clear, Sweeney is more than entitled to show off her body in whatever way she feels comfortable but, as someone who holds equity in Novig, she featured in the ad for her own personal gain.

'It's a visceral reminder of how much sport has moved on since the days of Page 3'

The backlash, though, has been extraordinary, with sportswomen flooding social media to condemn the advert and the not-so-subtle way it sexualises and belittles them, an image they have fought to ditch for decades.

It is a visceral reminder of how sport has moved on since the days of Page 3 girls. Female athletes are regularly

selling out stadiums yet the betting industry remains hell-bent on stooping to a tried-and-tested tactic: sex sells.

Sweeney and her Novig team-mates have undermined decades of progress and her response provides a telling insight into how badly she has missed this point. She posted a number of magazine front covers to her 25 million Instagram followers, images that featured famous sportswomen willingly photographed nude. They included Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Ronda Rousey, Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird. But none of them used their respective sports to ramp up their sexual appeal, but specifically celebrated their athleticism, power and strength. There is a profound difference.

Female athletes deserve better than being used in tone-deaf gambling ads. It's 2026, get a new script.

It is a truth that Austen drama was inspired by Made in Chelsea

By Ruby Cline

THE Sense and Sensibility screenwriter has said he watched every episode of Made in Chelsea as inspiration for his latest adaptation of a Jane Austen novel.

Andrew Davies, who has worked on Austen stories including Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey, has turned his hand to one of the author's unfinished works.

Davies said he watched all 31 series of the E4 reality TV show Made In Chelsea, which has run since 2011, to help bring his adaptation of The Watsons to life.

He told BBC Radio 4 the show is stimulating for relationships and ideas. He said: “These young men and women in The Watsons, for example, are very analogous to Made In Chelsea.”

Davies's 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice as a BBC TV show cemented his reputation as a master of period dramas. Asked whether he minded being known as the man who "sexed up" Jane Austen, Davies said: "I don't mind it at all.

"I was just bringing out the sex that's inherent in it. The other thing – they're all funny, that's inherently there as well."

He has since worked on TV adaptations of Vanity Fair, War and Peace and Les Misérables, as well as contemporary tales such as Bridget Jones. Last year, he revealed he was "having a sniff around The Watsons".

The 18,000-word incomplete book, probably written in 1803, tells the story of Emma Watson, who was

Binky Felstead was one of the stars of Made in Chelsea brought up by a wealthy aunt, returning to the household of her father, an ailing clergyman.

Other authors, including Austen's niece in 1850, have attempted to finish the tale.

Davies has said he is working on an adaptation of Emma in which Emma dies in childbirth, and has discussed making explicit Austen's passing references to slavery in Mansfield Park. He said: "It's crazy

He said. "It's crazy these days to do an adaptation of Mansfield Park without going and seeing what the plantation was like. A lot of people are not going to like that."

All private schools should be burnt to ground, says Harry Potter star

By India McTaggart versation to have. It's terrible when the only stories being told are by the same set of public school guys.

ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT

ALL private schools should “be burnt to the ground”, one of the stars of the new Harry Potter series has said.

Johnny Flynn, who is playing Lucius Malfoy in the new HBO adaptation of the wizarding franchise, made the comments while recounting his “traumatic” experience attending a boarding school.

The South African-born British actor, also known for his role as George Knightley in the 2020 film adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Emma, told Radio Times that he was badly bullied during his school years in England.

"It was quite traumatic for me," he said of being sent to a boarding school aged seven, adding: "I think they should all be burnt to the ground, I don't think private schools should exist."

The 43-year-old, who is also the lead singer and songwriter for the band Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit, explained his views on the British schooling system when discussing his role in MobLand.

In the second series of the crime drama, in which he stars alongside Tom

‘It’s terrible when the only stories being told are by the same set of public school guys’

Hardy and for which Guy Ritchie serves as executive producer, Flynn plays a criminal and a chiropodist.

Speaking about how he, Hardy and Ritchie were all privately educated, Flynn admitted: "The posh boys taking over things is such an important con-

“But those people that were probably being targeted, like Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch, they’re the nicest people I know, and they would say, ‘yeah, we don’t want to be the only ones here.’”

He said that he developed “nervous tics” while at boarding school, only realising years later that there was “something quite painful” about the experience. In therapy, he said he learnt “there was something called boarding school syndrome,” adding: “And I’m good, I’m OK now.”

Soon, he will have to reprise the act of boarding for his part as Lucius in Harry Potter, premiering on Christmas Day, which was previously played by Jason Isaacs in the blockbuster film adaptations of JK Rowling's novels.

Labour ban on trail hunts is ‘completely wrong’

Cameron calls on Prime Minister to build bridges with rural Britain and not forget its importance

By Patrick Galbraith ENVIRONMENT CORRESPONDENT

LORD CAMERON has described Labour's ban on trail hunting as "completely wrong".

The former prime minister urged rural Britain to “stand together and fight together” as he warned Andy Burnham to not “forget the importance” of the countryside.

He said Labour had “invented” trail hunting as an alternative when they banned fox hunting but now “wants legislation to ban it”.

Labour vowed to ban trail hunting, where hounds follow a pre-laid animal scent, in its 2024 manifesto. Earlier this year it set out legislation to ban it.

The Prime Minister has said he “fully supported” a ban, but the Government’s plans were delayed last week amid a backlash from voters.

Lord Cameron's criticisms came in a speech to a group of gamekeepers, huntsmen, farmers, and landowners gathered in Westminster to launch a Campaign for the Countryside, calling on Mr Burnham's administration to build bridges with rural Britain.

Sir Keir Starmer was widely seen as going to war with rural Britain over trail hunting, the controversial family farm tax, and most recently a move to limit pheasant shooting.

Lord Cameron said: “As prime minister, I learned to never forget the importance of rural Britain.”

The event coincided with new polling that shows just 15pc of those who live “in rural communities feel that the Labour party cares about the people who live and work there.”

The poll of over 2,000 people, carried out by OBR international, also found that over 28pc of countryside residents would consider voting Labour if it resets its relationship with rural Britain.

Lord Cameron called the family farm tax “a stupid thing to do”. He said most farmers do not make a profit and “the asset is the farm”. The Labour grandee,

Lord Blunkett, also addressed the meeting. He said that “education about the countryside and about rural life is vital”.

Like Lord Cameron, Lord Blunkett voiced concerns over the trail hunting ban. He said: "I believe that the attack on trail hunting is a mistake."

Lord Blunkett also took Labour to task over the family farm tax. He said: "The family farm tax imposition was a mistake made in the Treasury and presented by my own party."

Labour's tax resulted in months of tractor protests outside Westminster. When asked by the BBC if he disagreed with the action they had taken, Lord Blunkett said that the government needs to take its tractors off farmers' lawns and the two groups should engage amicably.

He later told The Telegraph: “Labour have moved on the family farm tax, the question is are they ever to move still further?”

Lord Blunkett said he felt that land

investors, who bet on farmland, as opposed to farmers, ought to pay tax.

Robbie Moore, the shadow farming minister, told The Telegraph: "There is effectively an attack on the countryside by the current Government. Therefore, it is absolutely right we stand united.

“We need to make sure that policymakers and legislators listen.”

Earlier this month the Government expressed concerns about how much land gets used for shooting.

The British Association of Shooting & Conservation has hit back arguing that shooters carry out habitat management over almost 20m acres as part of their sport. Garry Doolan, of the association, told The Telegraph that the group is not sure where Labour's dislike of shooting "is coming from."

He said: “What we do know is that Andy Burnham talked about fairness in every postcode but postcodes don’t stop where the tarmac ends. He needs to take a look at rural Britain and listen to the people in rural Britain.”

Farage may be forced to hand back mega donations

Continued from Page 1 determined. Paul Nowak, the TUC general secretary, told delegates at the union's annual meeting in Brighton yesterday: "Let no one tell you there is any similarity – any similarity – between care workers chipping in a few quid a year through their union and a party bought and paid for by billionaires. We need a proper conversation about how we clean up our politics that doesn't push workers to the margins – but does stop the super-rich corrupting our politics."

Angela Rayner also sought to draw a distinction between money given to Labour by unions and Reform's mega donations. She told the conference: "How dare they try to compare money from a couple of crypto billionaires to union member stubs? The most highly regulated political funding we can have

buy our democracy." The Government's Representation of People Bill aims to put a cap on donations from overseas sources and to make the law retrospective to the date of the Rycroft Review into party funding – on March 25.

Labour is now considering toughening the Bill to make Reform's cryptocurrency donors subject to an “enhanced residency test”, according to reports. This would force them to prove that they have lived in the UK for an “ongoing” period before they can make donations.

Mr Farage has insisted both donations were legal, but Ms Rayner suggested on Sunday that Reform could be forced to hand them back if they fell foul of the new legislation. Both Mr Harborne and Mr Delo, who had been expats, moved back to the UK this year, but Reform has declined to say when.

Under the proposed law, considered in the Lords yesterday, there would be restrictions of £100,000 annually from expats, to also apply for the first year after they moved back to Britain.

Mr Delo had been based in Hong Kong but told The Telegraph in April he would return to the UK to avoid restrictions on overseas donors. Mr Harborne was based in Thailand but registered to vote in Hampshire in June.

Mr Farage said suggestions by Ms Rayner on Sunday that Reform could be forced to hand the money back showed double standards at play. He said: “Let me give you some context. Since 2010, the three established parties have raised nearly £1bn. So what these donations will do is help put us on a level footing with the other parties.”

Unions try to rewrite Equality Act to support trans rights

By Genevieve Holl-Allen POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

UNION activists will push Andy Burnham to rewrite the Equality Act in order to support trans rights.

One trade union boss said the “only way to get out of” abiding by new guidelines on transgender people in single-sex spaces was to ensure that the text of equality laws was changed.

Nadia Whittome, the Labour MP for Nottingham East, said she was in talks with “trans-led organisations” on how to campaign for overhauling the act.

The act allows people to take forward claims for discrimination if they have one of nine protected characteristics, which include age, race, sex and sexual orientation. The Supreme Court ruled last year that “sex” in the act referred to biological sex rather than gender identity.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) subsequently published single-sex spaces guidance barring trans women, who are born male, from accessing female changing rooms and toilets.

Ms Whittome told an event on the fringes of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Brighton yesterday that the EHRC guidance was “as bad as it is possible to be”. She told union delegates: “What we need is a change in the law so that the law properly protects the rights, privacy, and inclusion of trans people. That means amending the Equality Act as well as other pieces of legislation.”

A government spokesman said that it would “uphold and protect” the Equality Act, and not “weaken it”. It praised the legislation as “one of the most significant achievements in modern British history” and a “quiet guardian in millions of people’s daily lives”.

Ms Whittome, who led efforts in Parliament to overturn the guidance, said she had previously been “very reluctant” to call for it as it “opens up a can of worms”.

"It means that essentially other people who have very reactionary views on this and other things will then start to try to do that. But I think unfortunately because of the Supreme Court judgment, this is now in my view ... the only way that this can go."

The Conservative said it was "desperate stuff from Labour MPs who have never accepted the Supreme Court rul-

ing".Joy Morrisey, the shadow minister for women and equalities, said: "The court was extremely clear and Labour MPs and trade unions should be supporting its ruling, not seeking to undermine it."

Maya Forstater, the head of rights charity Sex Matters, said: "It's extraordinary that union officials would put women's rights in jeopardy by attempting to amend anti-discrimination law.

"The Equality Act protects people from being fired from work, turned down for housing or harassed because they are transgender. The only direc-

Nigel Farage

REACTION from the political establishment to the record donations received by Reform UK has been as predictable as it has been revealing.

Two British citizens, Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo, each gave £36m to the party. Together, that £72m is more than the combined donations to all political parties in Britain last year. The money will be used for one purpose only. To professionalise my party and prepare a serious programme for government.

Both donors have stated plainly that they want nothing in return. No peerage, no knighthood, no contracts. They simply believe Britain needs change and that Reform UK is the only party prepared to deliver it.

Make no mistake, under current law these donations are permissible. Both individuals are totally entitled to make those gifts but the main parties have been having kittens because they are absolutely terrified this money is going to level the political playing field.

At the last general election, the Labour Party spent more than £30m, the Conservatives spent £23m. Reform - a mere £5.5m. These donations will help put us on a level footing with the other parties and they don't like it one bit. They would do anything to keep us out and they're now trying to smear us and impugn the names of those who have generously given us money.

The Tories, with historic ties to the City and mega-corporations, have a long-held practice of making every party Treasurer (each one of whom has been a substantial donor) a member of the House of Lords (Peter Cruddas,

'Reform will not apologise for being popular nor for being funded lawfully by people who believe in us'

James Lupton, Michael Farmer). The same goes for its big donors. There is a long list of people who've given the Conservative party money and have received knighthoods, peerages or other assorted gongs.

Even the holier-than-thou Liberal Democrats are up to their necks in it. Lord Strasburger donated £700,000 to them and, guess what? The next year, he was awarded a life peerage.

Angela Rayner has suggested that Labour might impose a cap on political donations from wealthy individuals.

Frankly, that would be nothing short of outrageous. It would make Britain look like an old communist state.

Besides, it's not as if Labour hasn't benefited from wealthy benefactors. Eco-magnate Dale Vince has donated more than £5.5m. Lord (David) Sainsbury has given them £15m. And let's not get started on how Rayner's close friends in the unions have stuffed Labour's mouth with gold.

The Unite union alone has given the Labour Party more than £50m in recent years. If anybody is giving cash for political ends then it's the unions.

So, I would just warn Labour: if you try to ban our donors now, once in power we will certainly ban funding from trade unions. I don't want to go down that route but it is something we would be prepared to do.

Neither Ben Delo nor Christopher Harborne will be getting peerages. They won't be getting favours, they won't be influencing policy because we are not for sale. All this kerfuffle is nothing more than sour grapes. Reform UK will not apologise for being popular nor for being funded lawfully by people who believe in what we're doing. If Labour or the other main parties want a fight over funding, it is a fight Reform is happy to have.

Top civil servant sacked by Starmer handed £860,000 payout

By Pieter Snepvangers POLITICAL REPORTER

A TOP civil servant was handed an £860,000 payout after being sacked by Sir Keir Starmer.

Sir Chris Wormald, the former cabinet secretary, was initially believed to have received a £260,000 redundancy package when he left his role in the wake of the Lord Mandelson scandal.

However, government accounts now show Sir Chris was paid £859,495 in severance pay, having earned an annual salary of between £225,000 and £230,000. He was one of Britain's shortest-serving top civil servants, holding the post for only 14 months.

The Telegraph understands the record figure takes into account his future loss of earnings as well as significant pension contributions.

No tax for some MPs can claim new tourist levy on expenses award – which exceeded Sir Chris's contractual entitlement – having been advised that it was in “the public interest [to bring] this matter to a conclusion”. The then prime minister agreed “the public interest is met in this regard”.

Sir Chris became Britain's shortest-serving cabinet secretary in February when he left the role after 14 months as part of a shake-up of No10.

He was the third high-profile figure to leave Downing Street in the wake of the Lord Mandelson scandal, following Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir's chief of staff, and Tim Allan, his director of communications, out the door.

At the time, Sir Keir's job had been plunged into crisis by the release of Jeffrey Epstein files that exposed the depth of Lord Mandelson's friendship with the paedophile.

MPs will be able to claim Labour's tourist tax on expenses despite ordinary families being forced to pay the levy for overnight stays.

Labour mayors plan to impose a tax of up to 5pc on overnight stays nationwide after plans for a new tourism levy were waved through by Andy Burnham this week.

allow MPs to claw back the full cost of the tax within existing nightly limits of £230 in London and £165 for the rest of the country, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa) confirmed.

The watchdog said it will conduct a “review of overall market conditions” before deciding whether to increase the

allowance in the coming years.

Parliamentarians are permitted to recoup the cost of hotel bills at different rates in London, the rest of the UK and Europe if they must stay overnight as part of their work.

Mayor of London Lord Khan has already said he will use powers Mr Burnham, the Prime Minister, will hand regional mayors to

implement a tourist tax, capping it at 5pc of the cost of accommodation in the capital. The vast majority of regional mayors in England also support the tax.

Last year, it emerged expense rules were made more generous to shield MPs from 100pc council tax on second homes, a move critics called “prioritising privilege over equity”.

off the final settlement at the request of Cat Little, the permanent secretary to the Cabinet Office, according to the Financial Times.

In a note to Sir Keir, she said: “The proposed award is greater than what Sir Chris Wormald would be contractually entitled to. However, I am informed that a settlement of this level is necessary given that this is a departure from a high-profile, unique role that has been agreed at very short notice.”

Sir Chris was replaced as cabinet secretary by Dame Antonia Romeo, a senior civil servant, in February.

His departure followed months of negative briefings in which he was described as the “embodiment of Whitehall groupthink”.

It was initially believed that Sir Chris's severance package would cost taxpayers around £260,000, a figure not disputed by Downing Street at the time. The Conservatives described the figure as an “enormous payout”, with Kemi Badenoch posting on X: “The Cabinet Secretary is the latest person Keir Starmer has thrown under the bus to save his own skin.”

Sir Chris's payout is almost double the previous record handed to the most senior official at the Treasury, who was removed days after Liz Truss became prime minister. Sir Tom Scholar received an exit payout of £335,000 in 2022 as part of an overhaul by Ms Truss to remove the permanent secretary and change “Treasury orthodoxy”.

A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "We do not comment on HR matters. The permanent secretary at the Cabinet Office received a ministerial direction from the then prime minister to proceed with the payment to the former cabinet secretary. Their exchange of letters is a matter of public record."

Sturgeon: Scrap monarchy for George's sake

Abolishing royals would do the heirs to throne a favour and help free them, says former Scottish leader

By Anita Singh

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

THE monarchy should be abolished to free Prince George from the burden of becoming king, Nicola Sturgeon says.

Scotland's former first minister said it was unfair that the 13-year-old prince had no control over his destiny, and suggested that scrapping the monarchy would be considerate.

Ms Sturgeon stated her case in a new Channel 4 documentary, The Royals: Time To Go, presented by John Humphrys, an avowed republican.

Ms Sturgeon said she had "huge sympathy" for the Royal family. "In fact, I would say one of the arguments for getting rid of the monarchy is for the sake of members of the Royal family, like Prince George, for example.

“That kid doesn’t know any different. He has a certain life ahead of him that he has no choice over. Is that really fair,” she asked.

“And so I actually think it is one of the arguments for getting rid of the monarchy, to free the future members of the Royal family from carrying that burden.”

Last week, Prince George was pictured on his first day at Eton College, following in the footsteps of his father, the Prince of Wales.

A survey commissioned by

Channel 4 for the documentary, which is broadcast tonight, found that more than one in four people in the UK support abolishing the monarchy.

The Survation poll of more than 2,000 people found that 28 per cent were in favour of abolition of the institution, rising to 38 per cent among 18-to 24-year-olds. Some 44 per cent

were undecided.

The behaviour of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his involvement with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein was a key factor in shaping negative attitudes, the poll suggests.

Nearly two-thirds (64 percent) said the King should be

required to pay the same income tax as everyone else (the King does pay income tax but on a voluntary basis), while 57 per cent believe he should have to pay inheritance tax, and 49 per cent said he should be required to publish full details of his private earnings.

Humphrys, a former presenter of BBC Radio 4's Today programme, said he had been a republican all his life thanks to his father. "He swore that he would never bow his head to any man or woman.

“He was a republican and he stayed a republican and I became a republican too,” he says in the programme.

He recalled being invited to lunch by Elizabeth II and, after they had eaten, pitching for an interview.

Humphrys said that the Queen listened politely before replying: "No. And what's more, Mr Humphrys, if one ever were to do such a thing, it

‘That kid doesn’t know any different. He has a certain life ahead that he has no control over’

most certainly would not be with you." The programme also includes a focus group whose members were asked to suggest which Briton they would like to see as an elected head of state if the monarchy were to be abolished.

Dame Judi Dench and Harry Kane were mentioned, before the group agreed that Lord (Alan) Sugar was the best choice.

Ms Sturgeon has been reported to police for allegedly handling stolen goods after Peter Murrell, her husband, was jailed for embezzlement.

Stuart Campbell, who runs the pro-independence blog Wings over Scotland, said he had written to Police Scotland to make a formal complaint.

Writing on the blog, Mr Campbell said Ms Sturgeon “has for some years been in the possession of numerous high-value items paid for by her husband with money embezzled from the SNP”.

Meghan granted fresh security review after UK return

Continued from Page 1 has asked the couple to provide as much detail as possible about their routines. It is understood to have explained the need to establish a “pattern of life”, based upon the minutiae of the family’s new life in Britain.

This will include daily journeys such as the school run, the specific addresses involved, timings and various routes taken, as well as other regular movements made by all members of the family and anything else relevant.

This newspaper revealed last week that the school run was the Sussexes' biggest security concern.

The daily commute, which the Duke and Duchess largely do themselves, presents specific challenges because of the repetitive nature of shuttling to and from the same place every day at the same time. "It is absolutely the biggest area of concern," one friend said. "It creates the most dangers."

The committee is expected to meet again to discuss the findings of the review when it has been completed.

The assessment will be the Duchess's first since she was granted police protection as a working member of the Royal family after marrying the Duke in 2018. On Sunday, the Duchess offered the first glimpse of her new life in the UK, with a video montage posted on social media painting an idyllic picture of the English countryside – footage included a roaring fire, muddy puddles, raincoats and wellies.

She is expected to make rare public appearances, although the first could be as early as this week, alongside her husband at the inaugural Invictus Spirit Awards.

The Duke, who celebrates his 42nd birthday today, has fought for years for the right to taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK.

In August, the Duke personally contacted Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, pleading for answers.

When the Sussexes informed the committee of their plan to return to Britain, they were granted interim, light-touch security provision.

The Duke has been provided with a contact number for a police liaison officer but otherwise relies on his own private security team. He is said to feel “numbed” by his lengthy struggle to secure protection for his family.

Pastry gurus Paul Hollywood and fellow judge Nigella Lawson share a joke on The Great British Bake Off set. Lawson, who is taking over from Dame Prue Leith, has already been praised by critics given an early glimpse of the latest series of the Channel 4 hit show, which starts next Tuesday.

King persuades Uganda to rejoin Invictus Games after exit threat

By Victoria Ward

THE King's most senior has aide urged Uganda to reconsider its decision to pull out of Prince Harry's Invictus Games.

Sir Clive Alderton, the King's private secretary, intervened after the country's military chief announced last week that it would no longer take part in the event.

He said Uganda would not take part in an event that did not have the King's "approval". The development came after Buckingham Palace sent out a letter confirming that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were “private citizens” who did not represent the sovereign.

The chaos appears to have prompted the palace to intervene in order to provide “clarity.” In a telephone conversation with Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the head of Uganda’s armed forces and son of the president, Sir Clive insisted that the King had “no problem” with the country’s participation in the Invictus Games and encouraged him to resume preparations for next year’s event.

Gen Kainerugaba said he “appreciated the King’s message and clarity provided by Buckingham Palace on the subject” and agreed to reverse his decision to pull out of the event.

A palace source confirmed that the conversation had taken place, describing it as an example of the system working as it should. Royal aides are understood to be “grateful” to the Ugandans for their courtesy and understanding, insisting that they would be happy to assist any others who may need clarity. The Duke, however, is likely to consider the development proof that the letter that Buckingham Palace sent to clarify his status had only created confusion.

The guidance was sent to “key stakeholders” in the Government and the military on the orders of the King, confirming that the Duke and Duchess were “private citizens” and did not represent the sovereign.

It said the couple's charity work was “a personal matter” and “undertaken in their private capacity”.

Two days later, Gen Kainerugaba wrote on X: “In order not to be construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere, Uganda hereby withdraws from the Invictus Games. We shall not participate in anything that does not have His Majesty’s approval.”

He told The Times: "I have factions in the ministry of defence that support that Harry-Meghan nonsense. I had to quash it straight away. I support the monarch. Period." The Duke blamed the letter for Gen Kainerugaba's decision. A source told The Telegraph that intended or otherwise, it was "clearly a consequence" of the guidance that had been "rushed out" without the couple's consultation.

Rob Owen, chief executive of the Invictus Games Foundation, said: “We welcome the news that Uganda has confirmed it will continue to be part of the Invictus community and participate in the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027.”

Don't look back in anger: Oasis announce return to Knebworth

By Telegraph Reporter

OASIS are to return to Knebworth more than 30 years after their initial gigs at the Hertfordshire park, as part of their 38-show Live 27 world tour.

The band, led by Liam and Noel Gallagher, will perform at Knebworth Park on September 11, 12, 18, and 19 as part of the new tour announced yesterday.

The band played two fan-favourite concerts at the venue on Aug 10 and 11 1996, to an audience of more than 100,000 each night.

Oasis will also perform at Glasgow's Celtic Park on May 21, 23, 25, 28 and 29, Manchester's Etihad Stadium on June 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 25 and 26, and Ireland's Slane Castle on September 4 and 5.

The Manchester-formed band will also perform in Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and Rome in Europe, and in Boston and Las Vegas in the US.

In a statement, Oasis said: “Start the celebrations. After a period of reflection ‘The Most Damaging Pop Cultural Force

In Recent British History' has declared itself fit for purpose and will once again return to lift the spirits of the people.

“Come witness the fitness. It shall be a sight to behold.”

The announcement came with a video featuring clips from Live 25, soundtracked by Morning Glory, which included a helicopter pilot flying over Knebworth House and saying “we’re starting our approach to Knebworth”.

The band says standard ticket prices will be fixed and range between £71.50 and £266.60.

Registration for those wishing to buy tickets has already begun and will run until Thursday September 17 at 4pm.

Fans who are successful will be sent a non-transferable code to access three sales windows, which will take place on September 25, 26 and 27.

Oasis say there will be no general sale or other public presales outside of that ticketing process.

They said the structure had been created “to ensure the purchase process is as fair and smooth as possible”.

William: Inch-by-inch action won't do on climate change

By Hannah Furness ROYAL EDITOR

THE Prince of Wales has warned that "inch-by-inch" action is no longer enough to tackle climate change.

Prince William, the founder of the Earthshot environmental award, said “this crisis demands urgency”, but that the public should remain optimistic that solutions were at hand.

Writing after a summer of wildfires, which he described as “devastating” and “frankly alarming”, the Prince said they were a “powerful reminder of the risks associated with a warming climate”.

In November, the Prince will attend the sixth annual Earthshot Prize, which awards £1m to five winners for presenting solutions to environmental issues. Writing in The Independent, the Prince said: "The crisis demands urgency. But without a belief that change is possible, its scale can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Optimism gives us confidence that our actions can make a difference. We need both.

This is what I mean by urgent optimism; seeing the danger clearly while believing in our ability to respond. For the first time in history, our greatest challenge is not inventing the answers. It is deploying and scaling the solutions we already know work.

“It is not naivety or blind hope. It is optimism grounded in evidence. I believe that our ability to respond can be the biggest story of this decade.”

The Prince has emphasised that he does not want to deliver lectures on climate change or ask people to make their lives more difficult.

A spokesman said: “What he or the Earthshot Prize will never do, is tell people not to get on planes and not to get in their cars.”

Previous winners and finalists of the Earthshot Prize include a company that makes takeaway containers out of seaweed, avoiding plastic landfill, a washing machine filter that takes microplastics out of the ecosystem, and an Indian ironing business that swapped charcoal for solar power.

Palestine Action activist goes on run after being let out for wedding

By Telegraph Reporter

A PALESTINE ACTION supporter who was convicted for planning a violent attack is on the run after he was given leave to attend his brother's wedding.

Sean Middlebrough, 34, of Liverpool, was one of eight people accused of organising a raid on Elbit Systems' factory, a weapons manufacturer linked to Israel and based in Filton, near Bristol, on Aug 6, 2024.

During the two-month trial, which started in June, Middlebrough absconded from custody after he was allowed out for three days for the wedding. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest but he remains at large, with speculation that he may have fled the country.

The trial continued in his absence and he was the only defendant to be convicted for the attack on Elbit in that trial. The jury was discharged after failing to reach verdicts for the other seven defendants, who now face a retrial in June 2028.

Jurors heard that none of the eight had been at the scene at the time of the Elbit raid, but their plans had included compiling an equipment list, reconnaissance and purchasing tools and weapons. Each of the eight defendants was said to be “equally responsible” for what happened by planning the attack and ensuring it had been executed so “the maximum amount of damage was caused” and “to shut Elbit down for as long as possible”.

During the raid, other Palestine Action supporters crashed into the site with an old prison van and damaged equipment inside, causing £1.2m of damage.

Middlebrough was accused of transferring £890 to another person to buy kit for the attack, including head torches, rucksacks, sledgehammers, hammers, safety goggles, helmets and a bolt cutter. He was also said to be among those who travelled to Bristol, where two rendezvous points had been booked at a campsite and an Airbnb.

They arrived on Aug 4 and left the Bristol area in the hours after the raid two days later, the court had heard. All eight defendants had denied wrongdoing.

At a hearing yesterday, Judge Patrick Field said the retrial of his co-accused would take place from June 19, 2028, at Woolwich Crown Court.

Miliband acts in bad faith on sanctions, says Israel

Officials in Jerusalem claim Foreign Secretary misled them over timing of UK's punitive measures

By Tony Diver POLITICAL EDITOR

ISRAEL believes Ed Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, announced sanctions on West Bank settlements with an “ulterior motive” of winning voters away from the Green Party, The Telegraph understands.

Mr Miliband announced his intention to sanction companies involved in illegal settlements in a statement to the House of Commons on Aug 19, despite scheduling a meeting to discuss the issue with his Israeli counterpart the following day.

The sanctions have led to the biggest rift between Israel and Britain in decades and has led to the closure of the UK's consulate in East Jerusalem, which was effectively the British diplomatic contact for Palestinians and was shuttered by Israel in retaliation. Opponents

'The talks never happened because the UK decided to proceed with sanctions for ulterior motives'

of the sanctions say they were announced to burnish Labour's credentials on the Israel-Palestine conflict ahead of the party's annual conference next month and a by-election in former premier Sir Keir Starmer's London constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, where seatless Greens leader Zack Polanski is running.

Diplomatic sources told The Telegraph Mr Miliband had raced to impose “pre-determined” sanctions, despite ongoing private conversations about the settlements with Gideon Sa’ar, the Israeli foreign minister.

The two men first spoke on Aug 11, when Mr Sa'ar assured the Foreign Office (FCDO) that Israel would not begin the construction of the El home-building project in the West Bank until after the Israeli elections on Oct 27.

The project, which includes the development of about 3,400 new homes, threatens to cut Palestinian settlement in the West Bank in two and has been described by Israeli ministers as a device to “kill” the prospects of a Palestinian state. Mr Miliband said after the first call with the Israelis that he had raised the “sharp escalation of settler violence and settlement expansion”.

It is understood that he and Mr Sa'ar agreed to hold further “frank discussions” about the settlements on Aug 20. However, that call was cancelled after Mr Miliband told the Commons on Aug 19 that he had decided to press ahead with sanctions because Israel had published tenders for El contracts.

Diplomatic sources said the decision amounted to abandoning dialogue with the Israeli government and a missed chance to negotiate over the expansion.

A source said: “The follow-up conversation was due to take place on Aug 20 ... it never happened because the British side had already decided to proceed with sanctions for ulterior motives. The decision was, in effect, predetermined.”

The decision to impose sanctions has been criticised by British Jewish groups and the Chief Rabbi.

The Telegraph understands it also came after Foreign Office civil servants warned Mr Miliband not to announce sanctions so close to the Israeli elections because they would lead to a severe response from Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.

Diplomatic sources said the closure of the British consulate will severely restrict the UK's presence in the West Bank and to its ability to evacuate staff during Iranian bombing raids.

The sanctions were co-ordinated with France and Canada, although Israeli targeted its diplomatic response at the UK, believing Mr Miliband led the decision and used the other countries to give Britain diplomatic cover.

Officials had previously warned Yvette Cooper, Mr Miliband's predecessor, that sanctioning Israel without the backing of other Western governments would leave Britain exposed to retaliation by Tel Aviv.

An FCDO spokesman said: “These claims are completely false. The accelerating expansion of illegal settlements is putting future progress towards the two-state solution at risk, and that is why we brought forward our measures to respond to this moral emergency. In the past year alone, the UN has said that 16 Palestinians have been killed by settlers and recorded over 1,500 incidents of settler-related violence. Despite this, this Israeli Government has approved 104 new settlements.”

Burnham's father dies after losing Alzheimer's battle

By Daniel Martin

DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR

ANDY BURNHAM's father has died, No10 has announced. Roy Burnham, a former telephone engineer, was suffering from Alzheimer's disease and died at the age of 86.

The Prime Minister has cited his father's illness as the reason for his determination to reform England's broken social care system.

He said that, because of his father's experiences living in a care home, he would “expend quite a lot of political capital” on improving the system.

The Prime Minister cancelled his engagements for yesterday and today. He had been expected to host business leaders in No10 yesterday afternoon and had been set to address the TUC conference today.

Sir Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat leader, said: "My heart goes out to the Prime Minister on the loss of his dad. From our conversations, he sounded like a wonderful man. My prayers are with his whole family as they mourn together."

Mr Burnham previously said his father did not know he had become Prime Minister because of the progression of his illness.

But he revealed last month that care home staff said Roy had “momentarily” been aware after they put a television in front of his chair so he could watch his son arriving at Downing Street.

The manager of the care home told him: "We all knew what time you might be coming up Downing Street so we got Roy in his chair, and we got the telly in front of him, and six of us stood around him and all said, 'Roy, look.'

Mr Burnham said: “She said he turned and momentarily... we thought he knew.”

He told the How to Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day in August that he visited his father's care home six days after becoming Prime Minister. He also revealed that as he hugged his mother Eileen outside No10 after his first speech in July, they had been speaking about his father.

In a speech later that month, Mr Burnham promised to help “my dad and the millions like him” in the current social care system. He added: “Many people from other countries have been caring for my dad. I want those carers to know we appreciate you. We appreciate what you are doing to support people here. And it really matters that I say that as well. There is so much to be proud of."

The Prime Minister praised care staff for bringing out the best in his father, adding: "I watch, sometimes, how people communicate with my dad and they're able to catch a kind of a moment of his old character. It comes out because of the way they draw in the conversation, and that is an amazing talent to have."

Mr Burnham has said he wants to bring in a National Care Service that would mean better pay and improved training for care workers and closer integration with the NHS.

Israelis shoot children, doctor told Jewish patient under the knife

Continued from Page 1 staff. The recommended measures included mandatory anti-Semitism training and restrictions on political symbols that could create a perception of bias among patients. But the British Medical Association voted to oppose the recommendations and seek an “immediate pause”, warning of implications for freedom of expression.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism's documentary suggests there are growing fears among patients about how they will be treated, with some attempting to hide their Jewish identity.

Polling commissioned by the campaign group found almost two-thirds of British Jews feared receiving unequal NHS treatment because of their identity.

More than four in 10 respondents who had used the NHS since the Oct 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and the war in Gaza that followed said they had concealed their Jewish identity, including by hiding signs of Jewishness or avoiding mentioning their background.

About one in three said they had felt uncomfortable while receiving NHS care because they were Jewish. The polling, conducted last November, received 4,490 valid responses from members of Britain's Jewish community.

Saul Freeman, a Jewish man who also features in the documentary, said he feared for his safety when a surgeon allegedly began making anti-Semitic remarks while removing a cancerous growth from his forehead.

He said the consultation had been entirely normal before the conversation turned to Gaza. He alleged that the consultant said Jews shot children “in the head or the legs” and varied it “for their own amusement each day”.

Jane McNicholas, the chief medical officer at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Mr Freeman has raised his concerns with us and we are reviewing these as a matter of urgency. We take any allegations of this nature very seriously and will respond accordingly."

The documentary also features a Jewish patient who discovered they had been treated by a GP who led a group later banned as a terrorist organisation.

Dr Wahid Asif Shaida was the chairman of the British branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, using the name Abdul Wahid. The Government proscribed the Islamist organisation in January 2024, saying it was anti-Semitic and “actively promotes and encourages terrorism”.

Dr Shaida was suspended from NHS practice following the ban, but NHS England lifted his suspension six months later. A panel found insufficient evidence to remove Dr Shaida from its performers list – a register of approved healthcare professionals – and no evidence he had been involved with Hizb ut-Tahrir following its proscription.

Hard to fathom the depth of hatred in an NHS built on compassion

Gideon Falter

THE NHS is not just a healthcare provider. It has become part of Britain's national identity. It binds us together – a promise made by each of us that we will sustain this organisation, which will catch any of us if we fall.

The NHS touches each of us, from the moment of our birth to the days before we die. It touches us through our lives and at our most vulnerable. That is why the revelations in the Campaign Against Antisemitism's groundbreaking documentary on anti-Jewish sentiment in the healthcare sector are shocking on a visceral level.

This is not a tale of occasional lapses but of a malignant hatred in the very NHS that should be a bastion of

compassion. We heard from Jewish patients terrified of their surgeons, and Jewish nurses and doctors pushed out of the hospitals they had devoted their lives to.

What we found were not isolated outbreaks of anti-Semitism but a malignant institutional failure encompassing everyone from trainee doctors through to the regulators that are supposed to be a last line of defence.

A Jewish patient experiencing anti-Semitic abuse at the hands of his surgeon while under the knife. A Jewish nurse subjected to a Nazi salute by a colleague. A Jewish patient being treated by a leader of a now-proscribed Islamist terrorist organisation. A senior Jewish medical professor receiving anti-Semitic death threats. A Jewish emergency worker being physically attacked by a colleague.

At every turn, when they sought help from their employer, the studiously DEI-compliant NHS, they were failed – and then they were failed by their regulators too.

The Jewish nurse still works with her Nazi-saluting colleague. The Jewish patient had to keep quiet until the surgery was over, but was then informed that he would never be told whether the NHS was taking action.

This was a hard documentary to make. Stephen Silverman, our director of investigations and enforcement, told me we were receiving hundreds of calls for help from Jews who had been abused or abandoned by the NHS and its regulators. He and his team toiled through case after case, finding that many of those who came to us were unwilling to go on camera because they were afraid. Practitioners were afraid of their colleagues and, perhaps worse, patients were still receiving treatment from a doctor they were petrified of.

It was hard to fathom the depth of hatred that we were hearing about.

Nurse Shelley Lipman was given a Nazi salute after revealing her tattoos were Hebrew

Could it really be that our NHS has become a hotbed of extremism? We undertook polling of the Jewish community and found a picture that was even worse than our anecdotal evidence suggests. A clear majority of British Jews would be concerned about not receiving equal care.

One third of British Jews who have used the NHS since the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 2023 were uncomfortable doing so due to their Jewish identity. More than four in 10 British Jews who have used the NHS since Oct 7 took steps to hide their Jewish identity at their appointment.

I know how it feels in my own small way. I went to an appointment and was greeted by a nurse wearing a fist-shaped pin bearing the colours of the Palestinian flag. In the aftermath of Oct 7, violent symbols from pro-Palestinian activists have taken on an even more extreme meaning.

People under medical care have enough to worry about without wondering about the prejudice or extremism of those providing that care.

So, I complained. The NHS trust would not refer the nurse to the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The regulators were worse than useless. It took multiple rounds of correspondence to even get an investigation opened. I doubt anything was formally pursued. They apparently had a word with her, but that was that. Were I to return, I might be treated by the same nurse, wearing the same badge, for all I know.

Our documentary exposes the anti-Semitic rot at the heart of our NHS. This crisis requires a wide-ranging response that addresses the growing extremist culture within healthcare, the abysmal failure of regulation, the shocking lack of transparency and the total absence of accountability. We cannot accept politicians pointing to past reviews and recommendations – we need real and robust action now. That is why we are also presenting a detailed plan to address this national scandal. Practitioners, trusts, regulators and others must all act.

At the very moment when they need the NHS the most, instead of being able to trust our national healthcare provider many Jewish people feel they have to hide their identity for fear of unequal treatment or abuse. As long as that is the case, the NHS cannot be said to be for everyone.

Pippa Middleton wins row with ramblers over right of way

By Telegraph Reporter

PIPPA MIDDLETON has won a footpath row with ramblers after a planning inspector said their home's driveway should not be a public right of way.

Her husband James Matthews bought Barton Court, a 145-acre property near Kintbury, in Berkshire, for £15.5m in 2022 from designer Sir Terence Conran and lives there with his wife, the sister of the Princess of Wales, and their three children.

They blocked access to Mill Lane, said to have been used by walkers since the 1960s and erected signs reading “Private: No Public Access” and “No Trespassing” while electric gates were installed across the driveway.

More than 30 residents, supported by The Ramblers charity, subsequently applied to have the route, which is the driveway to the property, formally recognised as a public right of way.

West Berkshire Council ruled in favour of the application, prompting Matthews to challenge the decision, and the matter was examined during a five-day public inquiry before a planning inspector earlier this year.

Residents said the driveway has long been an important thoroughfare, with walkers and dog owners regularly using it. At the centre of the inquiry was whether the public had used the route “as of right” and without interruption for the necessary 20-year period.

In a written statement, planning inspector Ken Taylor said: "The evidence from those living and working on the estate suggests that use by the public was very limited.

"There is also evidence to indicate that others who lived in the village did not consider the Order route to be a public footpath.

"The level of use was not sufficient to bring home to a reasonable non-absentee landowner that the public were asserting a continuous right to use the Order route as a public footpath.."

A spokesman for the couple said last night: “We are grateful for the careful consideration given to the facts and appreciate the time invested by all parties.”

Local councillor Tony Vickers said: "I am surprised and very disappointed that the inspector came down on the landowner's side. After attending almost all the inquiry, I could not see any relevant argument put by Mr Matthews' supporters."

Whisky war over protected English malts

Scotch distillers to confront ministers after counterparts south of border given equal status

By Harry Brennan CONSUMER AFFAIRS EDITOR

A WHISKY war has broken out with Scotland after English single malts were given protected status.

Distillers north of the border have said they are “profoundly concerned” after the Government announced English whisky secured “protected geographical indication status” late on Friday.

It officially recognises English malts as a distinctive whisky category, giving them the same recognition as Scotch, Welsh and Irish whiskies.

But it has enraged the Scotch industry, which has long opposed the move.

The Scottish Whisky Association (SWA) – which represents 90 companies including Glenmorangie, Johnnie Walker and Diageo – is now considering retaliation against its southern rivals.

It intends to meet ministers this week to express its main concern: that English whisky has been awarded protected status under different rules to those in Scotland. English single malt must be made on a single site, but can use malt barley from different locations.

Against the grain Five whiskies from south of the border

In Scotland, however, single malt Scotch must be made in one location with barley from the same site.

Mark Kent, chief executive of the SWA, said the Scotch industry was “profoundly concerned by this decision” and said the rules were “entirely inconsistent with the reputation of single malt whisky”.

“This is something which our counterparts in Wales and Northern Ireland agree with,” he added.

“Following discussion with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs this week, we will further consider our position and next steps,” he said.

From Cornwall to Northumberland, England is now home to more than 70 whisky distilleries, up from 46 in 2023. They export to more than 30 countries and are already estimated to be worth around £1bn. Richard Hammond, the presenter, and Guy Ritchie, the filmmaker, are both involved with

impact, and is not branded as ‘Scotch’,” Mr Ramoutar said.

Andrew Nelstrop, owner of The English Distillery, said the SWA's response was "baseless".

“Suggesting that Wales are with them in their stance is odd, given the vast majority of maturing Welsh whisky was made using wort from a brewery separate from the distillery and so follows our rules – not those of Scotch,” he said.

"To validly challenge the protected status of English whisky, the SWA would have to prove damage to reputation or economic impact on the industry. English whisky has no such

“Any suggestion that English whisky in some ways may be inferior due to these rules is of course nonsense.

“English whisky, having won the world’s best single malt three times in the last four years, paints a fairly accurate picture of who is perceived to be making a quality product.”

Kevin Hollinrake, the MP for Thirsk and Malton – home to two English whisky distillers – insisted that there was no need for the two nations to be in conflict.

“Scotch whisky is a national treasure and one of Britain’s great exports. Nobody is trying to take anything away from it,” he said.

"There is plenty of room in the market for a growing English sector alongside Scotland's. Consumers, not lawyers, should decide what ends up in their glass."

Seeds of discontent: Hallowe'en pumpkins 'too small to carve'

By Patrick Galbraith

ENVIRONMENT CORRESPONDENT

HALLOWE'EN pumpkins will be too small to carve this year after drought damaged their growth.

The orange gourds, used to celebrate the event on Oct 31, are poised to be about 40 per cent smaller this year and have thicker skins, making them harder to cut, farmers have warned.

Record-breaking temperatures and the worst drought on record stunted British pumpkin growth over the summer, forcing landowners to harvest much smaller pumpkins this month and into October.

David Coulter, a farmer from Suffolk-based Home Farm Pumpkins, said: "In the heat, the pumpkins just gave up and stopped growing early, even when there was moisture available. With the lack of water and heat, it was a double whammy.

“We’ve got lots of small ones, but children like to carve the big ones, don’t they? Because of the heat, the skin is a bit thicker than normal. I think some little kids might struggle carving into them.” When temperatures hit 30 degrees, pumpkin growth slows considerably. Britain endured 40 days when temperatures went above 30 degrees between May and September – which is peak pumpkin growth season – as well as the driest July since 1836.

The issue has prompted major growers to suggest families draw or paint on their pumpkins for Hallowe'en rather than risk carving.

Ketan Dave, of Barfoots, one of Britain's leading pumpkin growers, said: "With the really small pumpkins, don't carve on them, just draw on them."

Gavin Lane, the president of the Country Land and Business Group, said: "This is an opportune moment for parents to talk to their children about the effects of the weather on growing crops and the potential difficulty of growing vegetables in the future."

Several UK vegetables are also facing a poor-quality harvest this year.

buying up last year's stock to keep its operations running.

Apples have also been smaller this year and have started falling early, which has concerned cider makers. English vineyards are also recording their earliest harvest on record.

Carving pumpkins has a long history and has traditionally been associated with American celebrations of Hallowe'en. US consumers spend an estimated \$13bn (£9.6bn) on the event.

Schools to police packed lunches under Labour's health plans

By Amy Gibbons

nothing specifically requires teachers to check lunch boxes for banned items.

POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

SCHOOLS will be expected to tell parents what they can and cannot put in their children's lunch boxes as part of Labour's plans to promote healthier school meals.

Under rules set by the Government, headteachers will be required to publish their packed lunch policies and school menus online.

The change was announced by the Department for Education (DfE) yesterday as part of an updated set of food standards for schools, including revised guidance on what pupils should be served in school dinners.

Lucy Powell, the Education Secretary, hailed the move as a “once-in-a-generation” change.

Schools were already advised to enforce restrictions on students' packed lunches, with previous DfE guidance recommending a ban on sugary drinks, crisps and confectionery.

The Government now plans to go further by ordering teachers to present parents with a clear list of rules.

From September 2027, schools will have to publish their packed lunch policies online to “strengthen accountability and improve compliance". The DfE has also reiterated that teachers are encouraged to offer prizes or other incentives to pupils for bringing in a healthy lunch.

Guidance has previously recommended banning confectionery and crisps

Schools will be expected to continue following guidance from 2019, which recommended restrictions on sugary and fatty foods. Parents will be able to see what is and is not acceptable in lunch boxes as schools will have to publish their policies online.

While the guidance suggests that schools “do not allow” certain foods,

The shake-up of school meals includes demands to reduce dishes such as pizza in favour of healthier options. Example menus provided by the DfE suggest serving chicken and lentil curry with rice, peas and naan bread on “pulse day”.

The rules also state that sweetened desserts such as cake can only be served once a week in primary schools and twice in secondary schools, and must contain a portion of fruit.

Suggested desserts include cheese, crackers and grapes, watermelon, custard with banana and orange slices.

The changes to schools' food standards come two weeks after all pupils from families on Universal Credit in England became eligible for free school meals, for the first time.

Ms Powell said: “These are once-in-a-generation changes that will transform school food for children across the country. From our historic expansion of free school meals to the rollout of free breakfast clubs and new school food standards, we are making sure that every child has access to the healthy meals we know children need to learn, grow and succeed.”

Murderer freed early is jailed for attack on his father

By Telegraph Reporter

A MAN who was jailed for murdering his fiancée has been imprisoned again after a “degrading” attack on his elderly father.

Ian Griffin, 57, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Paris for killing Kinga Legg, whose battered body was found in their £1,000-a-night room at Le Bristol hotel in May 2009, but was released in 2016 after serving 22 months.

In May 2025, he was living in the summer house of his parents' home in Winwick, Warrington, when police were called and found his father Bernard Griffin, then 83, with serious facial injuries, Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday.

Bodyworn footage was shown to the court in which a police officer took Mr Griffin senior, with blood over his face and clothing, out of the house as his son was arrested.

Mr Griffin senior told the officer: "I'm glad to see you, he'd have killed me."

A clip Griffin filmed on his mother's mobile phone showed part of the assault, which was estimated to have lasted between 30 minutes and an hour, in which the defendant threatened his father to make him sign a note promising to give half of his estate to his mother, Janet Griffin.

Andrew Scott, prosecuting, said the victim suffered a fractured nose and bruising, as well as losing a gold tooth in the attack. He told the court: "It was gratuitous. It was degrading."

Griffin was sentenced to five years in custody with an extended licence period of a year.

Police squad to target barbers in crackdown on crime gangs

By Charles Hymas HOME AFFAIRS EDITOR

BARBERS and vape shops acting as a front for laundering crime gangs' illicit assets are to be targeted by new police squads tracking down "dirty money".

More than 500 officers are to be recruited, backed by £550m of government cash, to combat organised crime gangs laundering the profits from their drug dealing, trafficking and immigration rackets.

The £550m, spread across three years and drawn from the economic crime levy, is part of the government's anti-money-laundering and asset-recovery strategy, to be published today.

Officers will be deployed to forces, the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Crown Prosecution Service, either to beef up squads already targeting organised crime or as teams operating in their own right.

They will work alongside a £20m-backed NCA cell overseeing a crackdown on gangs operating businesses as fronts for organised crime. A further 75 police officers have been recruited to tackle high-street gangs.

Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, said: "We are putting 500 more officers on the trail of dirty money, going after the criminal bosses behind organised crime and stripping them of the funds they use to fuel drug trafficking, people smuggling and other serious crime.

“By going after the profits of Britain’s biggest gangs, we will break their grip on our communities, put the money back in victims’ pockets and ensure crime does not pay.”

Man drugged and raped wife over 20 years

Husband admits 60 offences including sexual assault and administering substance with intent

By Will Bolton CRIME CORRESPONDENT

A HUSBAND has admitted drugging and raping his wife over a 20-year period.

The man in his 60s from Stockport,

Greater Manchester, has now admitted a total of 60 sexual offences, including rape, sexual assault and administering a substance with intent.

He had previously pleaded guilty to offences between March 2022 and October last year, including rape, sexual assault, assault by penetration and one charge of sharing intimate images, but had denied the other offences.

He cannot be identified to protect his wife's anonymity.

Wearing a dark suit, blue shirt and tie, he wept as he stood in the dock with his hands clasped in front of him.

His wife, watching from the public gallery, was seen wiping tears from her eyes at one point.

At Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, the man took almost 20 minutes to enter guilty pleas to the charges relating to the abuse of his wife from 2004 until his arrest in 2025.

Twelve other men aged 28 to 74, who are accused of offences against the man's wife, including rape and ‘Our focus remains on supporting the victim of this abuse through a very complex investigation’

sexual assault, deny all the charges against them. The men are Karl Lindsay, 56; Daniel Rayner, 42; David Graves, 59; Jonathan Kirk, 43; Graham Brougham, 74; Philip Wild, 58; Mohammed Sabir, 28; Sean Peers, 38; Jordan Wallace, 31;

Alan Keelan, 42; Richard Townsend, 37, and Robert Stewart, 70.

The only defendant who has admitted charges is Keith Fotheringham, 59. The twice-married father-of-two is a technician at the University of Dundee and lives in the Scottish city.

All the defendants are in custody apart from Wallace, Kirk, Brougham, Keelan and Peers, who have been granted bail. A trial is scheduled to start in October and is expected to last for at least two months.

Following the husband's guilty pleas to a total of 60 offences, Asst Chief Constable Rick Jackson, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Our focus remains on supporting the victim of this horrific campaign of abuse through what is a very complex investigation.

"If you are concerned you or someone you know may be affected by drug-facilitated sexual abuse, please know that you do not need proof, certainty, or a clear memory to be taken seriously.

Reading for fun can cut dementia risk by up to a third

Benefits also include improved mental health, empathy and attention span, study suggests

By Laura Donnelly HEALTH EDITOR

READING for pleasure may lower the risk of dementia by up to a third, University of Cambridge academics have said.

In a new review of research, scientists found reading is good for your health, regardless of what you read, with benefits including a boost in mental health, academic performance and greater empathy.

One study of almost 5,500 adults aged 55 and older found those engaged in activities such as reading were significantly less likely to develop cognitive impairment over a five-year period.

Another study found that reading newspapers, magazines and books was linked to a 33 per cent lower risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Cambridge researchers have joined with the Queen's Reading Room – the charity founded by the Queen to highlight the benefits of reading – as part of the national year of reading.

Prof Barbara Sahakian and Dr Christelle Langley, from the department of psychiatry at Cambridge, published a review of the science in the journal Psychological Medicine. Overall, the study found that reading at any age improved brain and mental health, leads to better cognitive performance and reduces the risk of mental decline.

“Survey data in adults suggested that reading was associated with reduced stress, greater empathy, enhanced wellbeing, and decreased loneliness,” the study said.

“Studies further indicate that cognitively stimulating activities, particularly reading, are associated with a lower risk of dementia and slower cognitive decline, even among individuals with lower educational attainment. Neuroimaging findings suggest that reading is associated with structural and functional differences in brain regions supporting executive control, emotional regulation and social cognition. Importantly, these benefits appear independent of socioeconomic background."

Another study included in the review, which examined more than 10,000 young people, found that children who began reading for pleasure early in life had a better attention span, memory, and executive functioning, such as when it comes to problem solving.

They also fared better at school, had fewer mental-health problems and led healthier lifestyles – including more sleep and less screen time.

Dr Langley said: "Given how beneficial reading for pleasure is at a young age, we should be doing everything we can to

‘We should be doing everything we can to introduce children and young people to reading’

introduce children and young people to reading. The important thing is to find something they'd really enjoy reading about – it might be a TV programme or a game – and use this as a way in."

Book clubs also promote social connection, the study found.

Prof Sahakian said shared reading groups “can help people feel less isolated and more connected to others, which has been shown to reduce the risk of dementia”.

Data suggest that reading among children and teenagers is at its lowest levels since records began, particularly among those from disadvantaged backgrounds. A recent study from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on 760,000 students in 91 countries found 15-year-olds have worse reading skills than at any point this century, and maths and science is being pulled down with it.

Calling people patients is ‘intimidating’, NHS trust says

By Tom Jeffreys

PEOPLE should not be referred to as patients in case they find it “inappropriate”, “unhelpful” or “intimidating”, an NHS language guide has recommended.

Instead, clinicians should refer to a patient as an “expert by experience”, “customer” or “consumer”.

The guide, issued by Sussex Health and Care, also advises clinicians against using standard medical language such as “assessment” and “discharge” to avoid making patients “feel alienated” or potentially causing them “harm”.

Sussex Health and Care, which partners with NHS Sussex as well as seven NHS trusts and councils for East and West Sussex and Brighton, spent two years compiling the tax-funded guide.

The “guide to language for mental health”, published last year, consulted groups of patients – referred to in the report as “experts by experience” – and people working in health and care services across Sussex.

In the guide, an anonymous staff representative said it was “about acknowledging diversity and ensuring no one feels alienated or misunderstood because of how they are described or addressed”. Another said that the guide was designed to help clinicians use “more relatable language [that] would make services feel more accessible and less intimidating”.

The guidance also advises on how to treat neurodivergent people, banning the term “people with autism” and replacing it with “autistic people or people on the autism spectrum”.

However, the report also said to use the term “a person with ADHD” rather than “an ADHD person”.

The report said this was because autistic people disliked “person-first’ language” because they “see autism as part of who they are and not separate from personhood”, while people with ADHD prefer “identity-first language”.

Shimeon Lee, at the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Taxpayers will question why their money was spent producing guidance like this while the NHS remains under enormous pressure.

“Patients want doctors focused on treatment, not agonising over whether words like ‘assessment’, ‘discharge’ or ‘patient’ might cause offence. NHS bosses should concentrate resources on improving front-line care, not rewriting perfectly ordinary medical language.”

Sussex Health and Care and the Department of Health and Social Care were contacted for comment.

Male teachers ‘can be in girls’ changing rooms’

NSPCC's change to safeguarding guidance prompts call to follow Supreme Court ruling

By Tom McArdle and Dan Martin

MALE teachers will be allowed to supervise girls getting changed at swimming pools or sports centres under NSPCC guidance.

The children's protection charity has removed a policy stating that adult supervisors of pupils getting dressed should be the same gender from its latest safeguarding document.

Campaigners have since written to the NSPCC calling on it to reverse the decision and accused it of coming under pressure from trans activists.

The charity's previous policy said: "Adults who are supervising children getting changed should be of the same gender as them." However, in its latest “safeguarding considerations for changing rooms” briefing, the line has been removed.

The NSPCC said it had made the change following the Department for Education (DfE) update this summer and was awaiting official guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

It added that it was “categorically untrue” that the line had been taken out “as a result of external lobbying”.

Despite this, Maya Forstater, chief executive of Sex Matters, a has written a letter to the charity's executives calling for it to bring its guidance in line with the Supreme Court's landmark judgment.

She wrote: “We were shocked to see that in the August 2026 update of your schools briefing you have not taken steps to make your guidance clear and bring it into line with the law.

“Instead, the guidance takes every opportunity to create ambiguity, even going so far as to remove an important passage on staff supervision." She told The Telegraph it was "better for everyone" if male teachers were not allowed to supervise girls getting changed, adding: "It is cowardly, weak and hypocritical of the NSPCC to try to pass the buck for setting detailed, practical guidance on running safe school changing rooms to the equalities regulator. This simply isn't the EHRC's job.

"The NSPCC is failing in its duty to provide guidance on protecting children from harm by saying that it suddenly sees no problem with male teachers being told to supervise groups of female pupils who are changing for swimming or PE because it is not against equality law.

An NSPCC spokesman said: “Our briefing for schools reflects current government guidance which is unclear on this issue. Our briefing does not say adults of the opposite sex should supervise children changing. The briefing is pending review following any further updates from the EHRC and DfE.”

Speedboat killer jailed for pizza row stabbing

By Telegraph Reporter

JACK SHEPHERD, the speedboat killer, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison after attacking his girlfriend with barbecue tongs. The 39-year-old pinned down and punched his girlfriend during an argument before stabbing her with the tongs after she remarked that he had burnt a pizza.

He was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court yesterday after admitting to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and a charge of damaging property.

In 2018, Shepherd was jailed for 10 years for manslaughter over the death of Charlotte Brown, 24, when his speedboat crashed on the Thames during a first date in 2015. During his trial he fled to Georgia and was then extradited.

In 2019, he was jailed for four years for a drink-fuelled attack on a barman.

Shepherd was recalled to prison following the assaults last year. The court heard Shepherd and “AB” began dating in August 2024 after meeting in shared accommodation.

In February last year, the woman, in her 50s, and Shepherd were having an argument when the defendant “pinned her down and punched her several times”, the court heard.

In June last year, the defendant had been drinking when his partner made a comment that he had burned the pizza on the barbecue and he “stabbed her with the barbecue tongs on her left breast,” the prosecutor said.

He was jailed for 20 months for the barbecue attack, nine for the other beating and three for damage to his partner's car keys during a row.

Cancer-free woman was given chemo for a decade

By Samuel Montgomery

THE NHS subjected a woman to 11 years of unnecessary chemotherapy after misdiagnosing her with cancer.

Becky Jones was 21 years old when she was told she had a terminal brain tumour and months to live.

After more than a decade of invasive treatment that caused her to abandon her career, the mother-of-two found she had inflammation of the brain that could have been treated with steroids.

“I was told without the chemotherapy I would die,” Ms Jones told the BBC, adding: “I never had a brain tumour. I was misdiagnosed and I’ve gone through all this treatment for the main part of my adult life, for no reason.”

The 34-year-old is one of more than 40 patients taking legal action against University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust over alleged unnecessary cancer treatment.

Ms Jones has alleged that Prof Ian Brown, a now-retired Coventry cancer consultant, said she would need the chemotherapy drug temozolomide (TMZ) for the rest of her life.

"He's just ruined my life, essentially," she said, adding that her concerns over not being seeing the tumour in the scan were dismissed as the consultant said it would not be "visible to the naked eye".

Preliminary findings from a review by the Royal College of Physicians suggested long courses of the drug with were given “little or no evidence of benefit”. Ms Jones claims she was given no reason why her chemo was stopping apart from that Prof Brown was retiring.

The trust said it will take further action when the review is published.

Japan to boost military after PM's ally wins key election

By Allegra Mendelson ASIA CORRESPONDENT

JAPAN is to accelerate its military build-up after a conservative won a key election in Okinawa.

Backed by prime minister Sanae Takaichi's government, Genta Koja unseated two-term incumbent Denny Tamaki in a contest for the governorship influenced by a debate over defence.

Mr Tamaki had been critical of efforts by Ms Takaichi to increase Japan's military capabilities, while Mr Koja is closely aligned with Ms Takaichi's defence-focused agenda.

"The security environment surrounding Okinawa is becoming increasingly severe," Mr Koja said after the results were announced.

Ms Takaichi is preparing to unveil a national security strategy this year that is expected to accelerate Japan's biggest military build-up since the Second World War.

Her administration says more defence spending is needed to deter China from using military force to advance its territorial ambitions in East Asia. Okinawa forms part of what military planners call the First Island Chain, a string of territory stretching from Japan through the Philippines that limits China's access to the Western Pacific.

Yonaguni island, Japan's westernmost territory, lies 68 miles east of Taiwan. Beijing claims Taiwan as its own territory and has stepped up military activity around the democratically governed island.

Tensions between Tokyo and Beijing have mounted since Ms Takaichi said last year that a Chinese attack on Taiwan, that also threatened Japan, could trigger a military response by Tokyo.

In Okinawa, the debate centred on whether a prominent US marine corps base should remain open, but move elsewhere on the island, or close down.

Mr Tamaki had long resisted the relocation of the busy Futenma Airfield from the city of Ginowan to the coastal city of Nago.

Instead, he pushed for the base to be closed and operations suspended, while Mr Koja, Okinawa's first conservative governor in 12 years, supports the move and the base remaining open. Yesterday, the government said it would continue with its plans to relocate the base.

Airman's 50 hours in Iran with broken back

Weapons officer reveals he had to scale ridge to escape the enemy after free falling to the ground at 100mph

By Emily Smith

A US airman shot down over Iran has revealed how he free fell towards the ground and broke his back, before climbing up a 7,000ft ridge in order to escape enemy fighters.

The weapons systems officer, identified only by his call sign "Dude 44 Bravo", was stranded in Iran for nearly two days in April after his F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down by a shoulder-fired missile.

Bravo's parachute was damaged in the strike, and he plunged towards the ground at up to 100 miles an hour.

The fall broke his back, arm, and shoulder, and sprained his ankle, leaving him with bloody scrapes to his head and face.

But as Iranian soldiers and bounty hunters closed in, the airman staggered up a ridge armed with only a pistol and awaited rescue by US forces.

Video footage showed the moment he was rescued by two members of the elite Air Force Pararescue, known as PJs.

"My parachute was damaged in the initial attack. At one point, when I looked up and saw no parachute, that was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen," he told CBS's 60 minutes.

Bravo estimated he hit the ground at a speed of 70-100mph. “Free-falling is a good way to put it,” he said.

How the injured airman evaded Iranian capture before being rescued

While Bravo's crewmate was quickly rescued by US forces, he was forced to survive 50 hours stranded in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province in south-western Iran.

The pilot, Alpha, hit the ground around three miles away from Bravo and sustained minor injuries. He was rescued within half a day in a daytime raid but US Special Operations forces were unable to find Bravo.

Despite his injuries, Bravo avoided detection by Iranian forces by hiking up a 7,000ft ridge, equipped with only a pistol, a communication device and a tracking beacon.

“I had injuries, but we all train to adapt and overcome the things that we’re faced with,” he said.

"I moved as quickly as I could, despite the injuries, away from the place

The airman, known by his call sign Dude 44 Bravo, fell towards the ground at 100mph

that I landed."

The airman added: "Never let a lack of motivation put you on Iranian TV. As soon as I found a spot that I felt provided some concealment, I started work-

ng toward communication," Bravo said.

It was then that the airman sent his first message to the

Pentagon: “I’m hurt, I’m moving, God is good.”

The airman, who had been conducting strikes on Iran's drone and missile facilities, evaded nearby Iranian fighters who placed a \$60,000 (£45,500) bounty on his head.

Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, said he was awoken in the middle of the night by news of the downed crew.

He said: “Whether they’re alive or not, we’re going to go get them.” After making first contact, the airman was located using CIA technology.

‘When I looked up and saw no parachute, that was the most terrifying thing ever’

Declassified footage shows two operators running towards Bravo on foot, before picking him up and moving him to a secret rendezvous point.

The airman said seeing his rescuers was “one of the greatest moments” of his life.

The operation, which involved more than 90 special operators and MQ-P Reaper drones, used two large search and rescue planes on a makeshift desert strip, from which helicopters were sent to locate the airman.

The downed jet was later blown up by US forces to prevent it from falling into Iranian hands.

However, having retrieving the airman, the two C-130 transport aircraft that ferried in the 92 personnel for the mission experienced a mechanical failure, meaning it could not take off from the makeshift airstrip.

Additional aircraft were forced to fly into Iran to extract the group in waves.

Reflecting on his rescue mission, the pilot said: "This is not a story about what I went through. It's a story of the teamwork, the training, of the faith, or the decisions, of the leadership.

"To do something that will live in history as an example of what America's willing to do in order to uphold our promise and leave no man behind."

IRGC soldiers gunned down in nine-hour street clashes

By Akhtar Makoi

SOLDIERS from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been killed in rare, hours-long street clashes with armed militants.

Gunfire erupted between the guards and Baluch fighters at about 4am on Saturday in the Bakhshan district of Saravan, in Sistan and Baluchestan province in south-eastern Iran, and raged for some nine hours.

The rural neighbourhoods became a war zone, with heavy weapons and rocket-propelled grenades deployed against the new militant group, locals said. Videos from the scene showed people fleeing as heavy gunfire crackled, ambulances rushing in, and a residential house left in ruins.

Hundreds of IRGC, police and intelligence forces took part, and several RPG rounds were reported to have slammed into a home, and drones were used to locate the fighters.

The Quds Base of the IRGC's ground forces described it as an operation against “a professional terrorist team” planning assassinations in Saravan, saying four gunmen were killed and significant quantities of weapons, ammunition and explosives seized. Two of its own personnel were killed.

The newly founded Popular Fighters Front group claimed responsibility and said Iranian forces had attacked one of its units and that it had rushed in reinforcements, breaking the first line of the siege and pulling out some of its surrounded fighters.

It said four of its members were killed

'The rural neighbourhoods became a war zone, with heavy weapons and rocket-propelled grenades'

and six extracted, and claimed to have killed nine security personnel and wounded 21.

The Popular Fighters Front is a new player in Iran's volatile southeast.

It was announced late last year by Jaish al-Adl, the Sunni militant group long active in the province and listed as a terrorist organisation by both Iran and the United States.

It said it had formed “a new coalition” with several other Baluch factions to intensify the fight against the Islamic

Republic. Jaish al-Adl emerged in 2012 as a successor to Jundallah, the group once led by Abdolmalek Rigi, who was captured and executed in 2010 after years of bombings, ambushes and kidnappings along Iran's borders.

The Sistan and Baluchestan province is among Iran's poorest regions, a smuggling corridor and a place where rights groups say harsh crackdowns draw far less attention than unrest elsewhere.

The province was the scene of the deadliest crackdown in September 2022 after the death of Mahsa Amini in custody. Security forces opened fire on a protest gathering in the provincial capital, Zahedan, killing more than 100 demonstrators and bystanders, according to local rights activists.

The unrest erupted about two weeks into the nationwide protests that shook Iran that year, but its immediate trigger was an accusation that a regional police chief had raped a 15-year-old Baluch girl in the port city of Chabahar.

Activists have long complained that the region is a victim of systematic discrimination by Iran's Shia clerical leadership, with disproportionate numbers of ethnic Baluch killed in clashes each year and executed on the gallows.

Proscribe Houthis to cut energy bills in Britain, Burnham told

By Akhtar Makoiji

BRITAIN'S former ambassador to Yemen has urged Andy Burnham to proscribe the Houthis to help bring down energy bills.

The Iran-backed militants strengthened their control over the Red Sea coast and the crucial Bab al-Mandeb strait in a lightning offensive that threatens to raise global energy prices.

Edmund Fitton-Brown, writing for The Telegraph website, argued that Britain's refusal to designate the rebels had become "increasingly absurd".

He wrote: “We consider them dangerous enough to bomb, but not dangerous enough to call terrorists.”

The United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have all proscribed the Houthis. Britain has previously launched air strikes on the militants.

Mr Fitton-Brown, ambassador to Yemen from 2015-17, said he knew the Houthis “rather better than I would like”, having watched their transformation “from an armed rebel movement into the rulers of much of the country”.

Time and again, he said, “concessions intended to moderate them have instead given them time and space to become stronger”. Proscription, he argued, would let Britain freeze assets, criminalise fundraising and material support, and disrupt Houthi-linked operations on British soil.

He also claimed it would “show that his government cares about energy prices, national security and Britain’s dwindling influence overseas”.

Humanitarian organisations have said proscription could make an already dire situation in Yemen even worse. The

'Concessions intended to moderate them have instead given them time to become stronger'

Houthis control the territory where most of Yemen's population lives – including the capital Sanaa and the main port at Hodeidah, through which most food and fuel enter the country.

Designating them as terrorists could criminalise the routine dealings that aid agencies must have with the group to operate, choking the flow of assistance to millions after more than a decade of civil war, poverty and near-famine, the United Nations said. Aid groups have also warned that formal terrorist listings could freeze banking channels, deter suppliers and shippers, and expose relief workers to legal risk, ultimately punishing civilians.

When the US proscribed the Houthis in 2021, aid groups and the UN said the move threatened to tip the country into “large-scale famine”, and it was swiftly reversed. However, the US designated the Houthis again last year.

Mr Fitton-Brown said objections by the UN and aid groups “becomes harder to sustain with every passing month”, because “the principal threat to humanitarian operations in Houthi-controlled Yemen is increasingly the Houthis themselves”.

The plea follows a sharp escalation on the ground in Yemen as intense fighting raged between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government.

Government forces launched air strikes to repel a rapid Houthi advance, with the fighting now shifting towards Marib, the government's last major northern stronghold and the site of the country's largest oil and gas fields – a prize whose capture, analysts said, could decisively turn the war.

Trump: Russia has agreed energy ceasefire

Zelensky ‘not convinced’ Moscow will abide by deal after previous agreements collapsed within days

By Iona Cleave US CORRESPONDENT

DONALD TRUMP said yesterday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to a ceasefire on strikes targeting energy infrastructure.

Russia routinely pounds Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure with drone and missile strikes, while Kyiv has focused on long-range drone strikes targeting energy sites to increase the cost of Vladimir Putin's war.

“Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do, likewise! The World's Diesel price rise is mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran,” he claimed on his Truth Social platform.

Previous US-brokered energy cease-fires have quickly collapsed. Mr Trump's announcement appeared to catch both sides off-guard.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said that Ukraine is “not confident that Russia has the desire to comply with any agreement", adding that Kyiv's partners must ensure Moscow upholds its end of the deal.

Russia has still not commented on the alleged agreement. Kyiv has long pushed for a pause on strikes against energy facilities, along with ports and other critical infrastructure. The Kremlin, however, may hesitate to strike such a deal ahead of winter, when attacks on Ukraine's energy grid become more punishing and could push the country toward making concessions.

Global oil prices have soared as the war in the Middle East hits the six-and-a-half-month mark, increasing fuel prices and inflation in the US, weeks before the November midterm elections. Mr Trump wanted to show Americans worried about rising fuel prices that he is actively working to bring them down, two Ukrainian officials told the Financial Times.

On Sunday, the president publicly chastised Kyiv for its successful aerial offensive against Russian oil refineries, saying it was “hurting the world”.

However, data suggest the widening war in the Gulf is the fundamental cause of the current energy price increases.

The energy ceasefire comes after months of deadlock in Washington-led peace negotiations, compounded by the Trump administration's shift in focus towards its war with Iran.

Earlier this month, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Mr Trump's envoys, visited both Moscow and Kyiv in an effort to establish limited agreements – the first visits in their latest attempts to revive negotiations.

Previous US-brokered energy cease-fires between Russia and Ukraine have collapsed quickly, with both sides accusing each other of violations. The last in late January lasted days before Russia launched a major assault targeting Ukraine's power grid. Before Mr

Trump's announcement, Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, said he welcomed the president's call for Ukraine to halt its strikes on Russia's diesel-producing facilities.

He refused to say whether Russia would, in return, stop targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

However, he added that the upheaval in global energy markets was mainly because of the conflict in the Gulf.

Mr Zelensky had said on Sunday that he intended to discuss a possible ceasefire on energy targets and in the Black Sea with Mr Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations summit next week.

Unable to make gains on the battlefield, Putin is crippling Ukraine

Antonia Langford in Kyiv

THE sun had risen and the creaky train was edging towards Poland when attendants began running between compartments screaming at passengers to evacuate.

As people spilt on to the platform, there followed the stubborn rattle of anti-aircraft fire, and the distinctive buzz of a drone overhead.

“All of a sudden, you heard it coming down, and there was a very loud explosion closer to the front end of our train,” recalled Glenn Corn, a retired CIA senior executive who was travelling with Gen David Petraeus, the former CIA chief.

“It was very large, close to the train... You could see the impact, there was a large explosion cloud,” Mr Corn told The Telegraph.

The attack, which hit the locomotive of a passenger train on Sunday morning, narrowly missed a diplomatic train carrying Boris Johnson, the former prime minister, European security officials and other foreign dignitaries.

With its battlefield gains almost non-existent, Russia is not only

ramping up its long-range aerial attacks on civilian infrastructure to paralyse Ukraine, but getting bolder with its choice of targets.

The vehicle carrying Mr Johnson had fortunately made an early departure amid concerns that Russia would strike, according to Ukrzaliznytsia, the Ukrainian state-owned railway company.

The long-range projectile also came perilously close to the civilian train carrying the former senior US intelligence officials as they prepared to cross the border, striking just 1.2 miles from Polish soil.

A Russian drone also traversed the entire territory of Ukraine to hit a petrol station just 800m from the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing with Poland, causing a large blaze in the early hours.

The strikes drew condemnation from European officials, who accused Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, of trying to intimidate Ukraine's allies and of showing a sense of impunity.

They were rebuffed yesterday by Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, who said that the Russian military “had been conducting operations across the entire territory of Ukraine and will continue to do so”.

Mr Corn said he did not believe that Russia intended to target the train

'Putin is definitely raising the stakes, he's getting closer to the Polish border with these strikes'

carrying either them or the European dignitaries. “I think they wanted to send a message,” he told The Telegraph. “Part of that message is that you shouldn’t travel to Ukraine, it’s not safe. They are trying to isolate the Ukrainians.”

However, he added that the “high-risk operation”, which could easily have gone awry, killing high-profile guests or a large number of civilians, was symbolic of a growing appetite for risk in Moscow as it pushes towards Nato’s borders.

He said: “They’re playing with fire. Putin is definitely raising the stakes, he’s getting closer and closer to the Polish border with these strikes.”

Audacious strikes on border checkpoints near Moldova and Romania have borne out the idea that Russia is growing more brazen with its targeting, and more willing to test the limits of escalation.

Earlier this month, a plane carrying Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, was almost struck by a Russian jet-powered drone as it was about to set off from Moldova en route to Norway, according to Ukrainian and Norwegian officials.

Yet the strikes on Sunday also aligned with a broader evolution in Russia's military campaign.

With the front line on the ground relatively static, and long-range drones becoming more advanced, the Kremlin has escalated its air war. It hopes to strangle Ukraine's economy by targeting commercial, transport and logistics networks.

Russia's strikes on energy infrastructure have not eased. On Aug 27, Russian drones destroyed Kherson's thermal power station, prompting Ukrainian officials to urge residents to flee the city amid fears it could be left without power.

But railways, petrol stations, warehouses, post offices, businesses, retail warehouses and factories have also become primary targets as Russia seeks to disrupt the movement of goods and fuel, drive up the costs of doing business and constrict an economy already under huge strain.

“Russia is broadening its infrastructure campaign beyond energy and military-related targets towards the wider economic system that keeps Ukraine functioning,” said Maksym Beznosiuk, a research fellow at the Centre for Global Europe.

“This is becoming a systematic campaign to degrade Ukraine’s economic functioning and create research shortages and increase social pressure, particularly before winter,” he told The Telegraph.

A Telegraph analysis of data from conflict monitor ACLED found that attacks on industrial and commercial infrastructure more than tripled in the summer of 2026 compared with the year before, while strikes on transport infrastructure climbed by 25 per cent.

Meanwhile, attacks on farming have

more than doubled in the same period. There were attacks on more than 30 large retailers, consumer brands and logistics companies in August and September, while shopping malls were hit claiming scores of civilian lives.

There have also been round-the-clock strikes using drones on food logistics including warehouses and transport, and Ukraine's railways have fielded more than 1,500 attacks since the beginning of this year.

Key to the attacks have been swarms of jet-powered drones that fly up to three times faster than older propeller-driven ones and reach higher altitudes, making them far trickier to intercept.

Russia increased the number of these drones fired at Ukraine eightfold over the summer, firing a staggering 2,800 at the country in August compared with 350 in June.

Satellite images over Russia have revealed the build up of drone bases, well within striking of Ukraine and Nato, that facilitate these attacks.

Putin has warned Kyiv to “expect a response after a series of Ukrainian drone strikes that targeted online retail giants providing military and dual-use equipment for the Russian army.

The Kremlin on Sunday doubled down on those remarks, accusing the Ukrainians of opening Pandora's box".

Ukrainian officials and Western analysts have countered that the intensified strikes are a means of compensating for Moscow's lack of progress on the front line.

Over the weekend, the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said that Ukrainian forces had all but offset Moscow's territorial victories since March 2026.

“They’re making very little progress on the battlefield,” said Mr Corn. “[So] they seem to be really trying to put pressure on the Ukrainian government, undermine the government and send the message that the government can’t protect you.”

British soldier killed in Ukraine accident

By Tom Cotterill

A MEMBER of the British military has died in a road crash in Ukraine.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed the death in a statement yesterday. The soldier, who has not been named, reportedly died in a “road traffic incident”. It is understood that the death did not result from hostile action.

A spokesman for the MoD said: "It is with deep regret that we must announce that a member of the UK Armed Forces died in a road traffic incident in Ukraine on Saturday ... the family have been informed and have requested a period of grace before further details are released." The Government has previously acknowledged the presence of a small number of British troops in Ukraine to provide security for UK diplomats and to support Kyiv's military.

The incident is the second confirmed death of a member of the Armed Forces in Ukraine. L/Cpl George Hooley, a paratrooper, was killed in December while observing the testing of a new Ukrainian drone. The MoD said the 28-year-old died in an accident away from the front line. He was not involved in any combat operations in Ukraine.

L/Cpl Hooley wrote a letter to his family, to be opened in the event of his death, that he had been doing what he believed in. The farewell note was shared at his family's request. It read: "If you are reading this, it means I didn't make it home. Please don't let that be the thing that breaks you. You know I was doing what I believed in as well as loved, with people I respected, and for reasons that matter to me, my country and democracy and freedom in this world."

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, the head of Britain's military, said last week that Moscow had suffered 1.5 million casualties, with at least 500,000 killed since February 2022.

Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has escalated strikes across Ukraine despite the losses, including a drone strike on a railway station on Sunday.

Gaza film directors face losing citizenship

By Henry Bodkin

JERUSALEM CORRESPONDENT

ISRAEL has threatened to strip citizenship from the directors of a new documentary on Gaza.

Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor have been accused of “treason against the state” after claiming the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the Strip.

The documentary claims that the IDF approved the killing of 500 civilians on one occasion in order to assassinate a single Hamas operative, and used AI to plan mass-casualty attacks.

The film's name, Naza, is based on a Hebrew acronym used by Israel's intelligence services to indicate how many civilians were expected to be killed in air strikes.

The 80-minute documentary won a special jury prize at the Venice film festival on Saturday, and received a 25-minute standing ovation.

On Sunday, Miki Zohar, Israel's culture minister, accused the directors of being willing to “harm their homeland in order to receive applause from anti-Semites around the world”.

Writing on X, he said: “I will act immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship of these despicable creators for treason against the state.”

The IDF has categorically denied that it planned and approved a strike during the Gaza war against Hamas in which 500 civilian deaths were anticipated, calling the allegation “completely false”.

A promotional clip for the film, which examines Israel's use of AI in targeting decisions and its role in civilian deaths, portrays a purported Israeli intelligence soldier being asked about the upper number of expected civilian deaths ever approved when planning a strike in Gaza.

“I don’t know how many were killed, because they never check this,” he replied, “but there was once an approval for 500.” The IDF said that no “credible claim” supporting the alleged whistleblower’s testimony had been raised during the war.

Foul! Extreme athlete divides opinion after 'dirty' victory

Champion who soiled herself in fitness event accused by competitors of contaminating equipment

By Emily Smith

AN EXTREME fitness athlete has triggered a biohazard row after she soiled herself at a Hyrox event and carried on competing while covered in faeces.

Joanna Wietrzyk, a Hyrox world champion, became unwell while taking part in the event in Beijing on Saturday, but pushed on to win the competition.

Pictures and videos from the competition, which The Telegraph is not publishing, show faeces running down the Australian athlete's legs, on to the mats and some equipment.

Wietrzyk posted a photo on social media after the event from what appeared to be a hospital bed with the caption: "Go hard or go home ... a win is a win. In all seriousness, thank you for all the support. I'll be back soon x."

She later deleted the post.

Hyrox is now being forced to review its procedures after it was accused of causing a biohazard for not withdrawing Wietrzyk or closing off the soiled areas.

First introduced in Hamburg, Germany, in 2017, Hyrox is an indoor extreme fitness competition which involves athletes alternating between running and exercises such as burpees, rowing and a sled push. It has surged in popularity in recent years.

Wietrzyk, who won the race in a time of 1hr 1min 23secs, faced criticism online, as did organisers, given that Hyrox penalises acts such as spitting and littering. Hyrox said it launched a “major clean-up operation” by sanitising equipment and replacing sections of the carpet.

However, 22-year-old Wietrzyk's fellow participants have demanded an apology and a refund, arguing that they came into contact with contaminated apparatus. Joe Ho, a male competitor at the event in the Chinese capital, said: "For people who were exposed to that situation, there could be genuine physical and psychological consequences.

"I paid Hyrox to provide a professionally organised and safe event. So while I understand the athlete perspective, ultimately my contract and expectation is with Hyrox.

"If the organisation accepts that something went wrong, why not offer affected participants refunds, credits, or some meaningful form of compensation?" Participants have questioned why the fitness company allowed Wietrzyk to continue. Erica Dodge, a US-based nurse, wrote on Instagram: "From a basic health and sanitation standpoint, the athlete should have been stopped immediately, and any contaminated areas should have been closed off and properly cleaned before other athletes were allowed through." In a statement published yesterday, Hyrox said it had "clear biocontaminant and medical procedures in place".

It said: “In this instance, an unforeseen situation arose in which protocols designed for elite competition and mass participation became blurred, creating ambiguity in how they were applied and understood.” It added: “We recognise that this can understandably lead to frustration, questions and strong views within our community.

“Those concerns are legitimate and, as organisers, we must be prepared to hear them, examine what happened and take responsibility for continuing to improve. And we will.” The German company also criticised the online abuse directed at Wietrzyk.

Athletes relieving themselves in high-intensity endurance events is not uncommon.

Paula Radcliffe, the British former long-distance runner, was forced to relieve herself on the side of the road at mile 22 during the London Marathon in 2005 because of severe stomach cramps. She went on to win the race. Gary Lineker also soiled himself on the pitch while playing for England against Ireland at the World Cup in 1990.

Rapper dropped from Sheeran's US tour over Palestine comments

By Andrew Buncombe

A US rapper says he has been dropped from the US leg of Ed Sheeran's Loop tour after making comments in support of Palestine.

Seattle-born Macklemore, real name Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, said he had been axed after performing just two nights as a special guest at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sept 4 and 5.

"I didn't need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2," Macklemore wrote on social media yesterday. "Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say. Free Palestine."

The 43 year-old, known for hits such as Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us, claimed Messina Touring Group, the concert promoter, had come under pressure from 85-year-old Robert Kraft, chief executive of the Kraft Group and owner of the New England Patriots American football team and Gillette Stadium near Boston. Sheeran, 35, is set to play there later this month.

“Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium,” Macklemore wrote on Instagram. “Ed also told me Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues.”

During his performance at MetLife,

Macklemore said he wanted the words “Free Palestine” to be “loud and clear, so the people from Gaza all the way to the occupied West Bank know that we have not forgotten them”.

He also thanked “my Jewish brothers and sisters”. He added: “Criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide, is in no way a criticism of you. My message is for peace, love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.”

Reports said several pro-Israel groups had called for Macklemore to be dropped from the tour.

Pink, the singer, shared a social media post that accused Macklemore of ambushing fans with “anti-Israel propaganda”. She later said she did not object to his demand for a “free Palestine”. Mr

DJ Macklemore was due to perform at 10 shows during the British singer's US tour

Kraft said he agreed with the rapper that “too many lives have been lost and there has been too much suffering, but only sharing selective information and ignoring the actions of Hamas is not honest and only advances more divisiveness and hate”.

He said he'd welcome the opportunity to sit down with Macklemore and discuss the facts, as “ultimately our goal is the same – peace for all people, an end to suffering and all hate”.

The issue has been more controversial after the Oct 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel that killed about 1,200 people, mainly Israelis, and the subsequent operation by the Israeli military that destroyed large parts of Gaza and killed more than 69,000 Palestinians.

Sheeran, Macklemore, Mr Kraft and the Messina Touring Group did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Messina Touring Group told Rolling Stone: "As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran's US Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming US tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the line-up, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans."

It added: “After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates.”

Ireland charmed Trump... his DJ set on Air Force One proved it

By Connor Stringer on Air Force One

THE message from Donald Trump arrived somewhere over the Atlantic. Two aides walked into the sprawling press cabin at the back of Air Force One given to the president by the Qataris. Mr Trump was working up front, they explained, and had sent them back with a question: would we like to listen to his playlist?

What followed was 30 minutes of some of the president's favourite songs, featuring Abba, Luciano Pavarotti and The Who. Soon after, the president himself appeared, wandering down the aircraft's wide corridors. "I want to make sure everyone was OK with the music," he said. "I picked it myself. I want to make you happy."

After months of political headaches dominated by the war in Iran and the spectre of a difficult midterm election, Ireland had offered Mr Trump something of a respite. For two days during his visit to Doonbeg to watch the Irish Open, he had been doing what comes most naturally to him: playing host.

There were occasional reminders of the headaches back in Washington as he fielded questions from the first tee at his golf course about the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine. And, in Dublin, he may have ruffled some

feathers by declaring during this bilateral meeting with Micheal Martin, the Taoiseach, that he would “love to see” a united Ireland, predicting that reunification was bound to come eventually.

After meeting Catherine Connolly, the Irish president, and Mr Martin, Mr Trump boarded Marine One and headed west, with The Telegraph in tow. Waiting for him in Co Claire was the luxury hotel that bears his name and thousands of golf fans at his links course that was hosting the biggest Irish Open in years.

The press said he would arrive to protests yet thousands lined the grassy dunes, pointing to the sky in bemusement as Marine One swept in, flanked by two Chinook helicopters.

For all the diplomatic anticipation, one of the

weekend's most tangible political outcomes came through a simple, personal relationship. For months, Irish politicians had lobbied Washington to remove the 10 per cent tariff on Irish whiskey, levied amid the president's trade war with Europe.

By Sunday evening, Shane Lowry, the home-grown golfing hero and friend of the president, was standing on the 18th green, his trophy in hand, when Mr Trump announced that the levy would be scrapped. “Everyone’s been bugging me,” he said as Mr Martin watched nervously. “We are going to take the tariffs off Irish whiskey.”

The crowd erupted and Mr Martin laughed in relief.

And with that, Mr Trump walked off the 18th tee and made his way back to

delighted that the world had marvelled at his golf course.

Inside, Air Force One there was only one amenity absent from the most luxurious presidential artefact ever flown – Wi-Fi.

For six hours across the Atlantic, the traveling press pack was cut off from the outside world.

Thankfully, the president had brought his playlist.

Forget Gen Z, the real wimps are ‘dying swan’ midlife men

HANNAH BETTS

Middle-aged women, such as myself, are rational beings when it comes to health. The elaborate systems required by our reproductive organs ensure we keep close to the medical trade.

Just a few days ago, I had to have both halves of my body inspected: first, breasts clamped medievally under a scanner; next, an appointment with the genius who keeps an eye on the business end. Not fun.

Still, I partook of no sweat, no speculation, no engagement whatsoever. I'll simply do what said experts dictate.

In contrast, news reached us a few days ago that Gen Z is turning to AI for health advice, rather than the more conventional resource that is a doctor who has undergone actual medical training. Self-appointed experts on TikTok and YouTube were also deemed to be oracles.

This may explain why Zoomers are beset by mental health issues, when a kindly professional might inform them that the “symptoms” they are experiencing are merely adult life.

Is this ADHD, or are you struggling to keep your nose to the grindstone on a Tuesday afternoon? Are you suffering an anxiety attack, or is this pre-examination nerves? Are you “a little bit autistic” or just an introvert feeling ghastly at a party? Where a doctor sees the individual, AI crudely computes. Meanwhile, Gen Z grows ever more angsty.

Still, let's not make an example of our young 'uns here, when society's true neurotics are midlife men. All hail, the most hysterically hypochondriac cohort known to humanity, forever self-diagnosing, then giving us the dying swan routine.

Legions of my male peers don't even have a GP, let alone consult them. Instead, after frantic laptoppery, they reach their own, reliably ham-dram conclusions,

escalating every ailment to an attack of bubonic plague.

Let us consider a case study I shall call “X” – though regular readers may detect more than a passing resemblance to my boyfriend of 12 years. The moment X feels in any respect off-colour, he will judge himself to be “coming down with something”. A scarf will appear about his neck, a puny voice take hold, accompanied by rasps of febrile despair, until – collapse! – one hand to his breast, the other tragically trailing à la Henry Wallis’s The Death of Chatterton.

There will be croaky demands for cordials, cold compresses, KitKats. All the while, X will gaze ceilingward, as if the pearly gates loom, while kind deeds will remain a reproach to impatience. Behold, we have not a 52-year-old middle manager, but Bleak House's Jo the Sweep, bleating that he was "very good to me, he wos!"

In time, this (entirely intuited) malady will be deemed abating, strength seeping back. Lakeside convalescence will be mooted, mobility aids acquired – if only one could summon the strength! In short, I would rather be ill myself than have X succumb - and not because I am in any way self-sacrificing.

My big, brave soldier is by no means alone. If cowardice keeps middle-aged men from the surgery, ego assures them that they know best, plus a certain relish in the performance. For, as they are rendered patient, so their loved one must play nurse.

Deep in the heart of every masculine soul there appears a longing for the battlefield hospital, some starry-eyed helpmeet mopping the manly brow. And it is vital to keep science from disrupting this fantasy.

England should be at the table to discuss the future of the Union

Britain's most populous nation has no formal voice in the so-called Celtic fringe's constitutional talks

PHILIP JOHNSTON

There was an important absentee from the meeting of first

1 ministers in Cardiff to agree the break-up of the Union. Where was England? The biggest constituent part of the UK was left out of the talks between John Swinney of the SNP, Plaid Cymru's Rhun ap Iorwerth and Michelle O'Neill of Sinn Féin.

For the first time since devolution in the 1990s, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have first ministers who want to leave the United Kingdom. Maybe the English do as well, but they are never asked. Anyone who raises the flag of independence is shot down and denounced as a racist.

Swinney called the meeting a “significant and pivotal moment for the United Kingdom”, adding: “The people of Scotland, Wales and Ireland have a right to self-determination. They are entitled to decide on their own future.”

But not the English, it seems. The assumption that England is happy with the constitutional make-up of the UK has been tested to destruction in recent years as separatist movements have sprung up on the so-called “Celtic fringe”. They are happy to take subventions paid for by the English taxpayer but resent the country’s power and dominance.

The late Gerry Fitt, leader of the nationalist SDLP in Northern Ireland, put it this way: “Their slogan is Brits out – but leave your wallet on the mantelpiece.”

How the three other parts of the UK would survive without English taxpayer support is a mystery. Payments under the Barnett Formula, which allocates public funds to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish administrations, were £45bn, £20bn and £18bn respectively last year.

Under the 2025 spending review, the Scottish and Welsh governments will continue to receive over 20 per cent more funding per head than the equivalent UK Government spending, and the Northern Ireland Executive 24 per cent more.

If they all went independent you would have to take into account the fact their tax revenues would be retained, but England would still be quids in. Even as recently as the 2014 referendum on Scottish independence, the SNP mantra was that the country would thrive because of the oil money.

But the Nationalists have gone cold on North Sea drilling and hydroelectric is unlikely to produce enough revenues to sustain five million people.

The whole question of the Union was thrown up in the air by an injudicious comment from Andy Burnham last week when he indicated that a second referendum could be held in Scotland if there was clear public support for a vote. He compared the circumstances in Scotland to those in Northern Ireland, where a border poll could be held under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.

This would be triggered by “a clear consensus in the country (that) public opinion has changed to the point where the call has to be considered”. He added: “I would say that it is exactly the same situation in Scotland.”

Needless to say, this was just what the SNP wanted to hear and appeared to reverse a statement from Burnham that independence was “off-limits”. Donald Trump’s weekend support for a united Ireland didn’t help matters.

But in Ireland, a referendum must be held on both sides and there is no guarantee the South will vote to absorb the North given the cost and security implications. Indeed, I suspect the Republic, despite its misty-eyed view of unification, would vote “no”.

Yet, when Scotland talks of independence, there is never any suggestion that the English should have a say, too. Would they vote to stay in the Union or break it up?

Why is England the unwanted guest at a party it pays for? The English have always considered overt nationalism to be just a bit demeaning. The Celtic fringes need their national days to assert their identities. But the English, as the dominant people of these isles, have always felt a little bit above it all.

In medieval times, St George's Day was observed in England as a feast day. Yet after the Act of Union of 1707, such celebrations fell into abeyance.

Once England and Scotland had subsumed their nationalities into a pooled relationship within the United Kingdom, individual expressions were no longer required – until, that is, Scottish devolution in 1998.

The English started to speak up when it looked as if Scotland might vote for independence. The 2011 census showed that 70 per cent of the English population identified themselves as either solely English or English in combination with some other national identity, not British.

However, the 2021 census showed a dramatic fall in such declarations, possibly because the threat to Britishness had apparently been lifted when Scotland voted to stay in the UK. Also, the impact of mass immigration needs to be considered, since 16 per

cent of England's population is foreign born and likely to identify as British.

But what next now that the spectre of a break-up has been raised again? A federal UK, perhaps. Labour's English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act was hailed as a “landmark” by ministers, but was nothing of the sort because it did not address the collective identity of its people.

What is proposed is a mish-mash of mayors, combined authorities (shelved for the time being), the decentralisation of some powers and budgets, and the further balkanisation of England. But why should England be broken up when the other constituent parts of the UK have re-emerged as self-governing entities?

The most straightforward way of resolving this would be to establish a federation giving an English parliament sole responsibility for policy affecting only English voters. It could sit in York rather than London and its First Minister could have a say at these meetings, if invited.

Westminster would be responsible, as with Scotland, for economic matters, most taxation, foreign and defence policy and immigration. However, this model has always been resisted because an English parliament would vie with Westminster.

But left out of the upheaval that gave Scotland a parliament, Wales an assembly and put Sinn Féin in the driving seat in Northern Ireland, England remains in a limbo – unable to reassert its nationhood yet increasingly estranged from the Union of which it is the dominant part.

Next year is the 1,100th anniversary of the unification of England under Æthelstan. It is one of the oldest extant nations in the world. Does it not merit a seat at the table to decide its own future?

Way of the World Michael Deacon

Left-wing morality is a curious thing. Consider the case of Sydney Sweeney. According to The Guardian, this glamorous blonde American actress is “under fire” for posing naked in a new advert for a sports betting firm. By straddling a basketball hoop in the nude, and lying on a pool table in nothing but a pair of knickers, she is apparently guilty of “sexualising women’s sport”.

But surely Guardian readers, of all people, cannot disapprove of Ms Sweeney's behaviour. On the contrary, they should be leaping righteously to her defence.

After all, what happened to “my body, my choice”?

For years, progressives have been sternly informing us that whatever a woman chooses to do with her body is her own business, and no one has the right to criticise it. Clearly, therefore, this inviolable rule must apply when a woman chooses to appear in an advert clutching a pair of American footballs to her bare chest. Ms Sweeney's body, Ms Sweeney's choice. Another sacrosanct

mantra is that “sex work is work”. Well, if that’s the case, then naked modelling for sports betting firms must be work, too. And since women who engage in sex work must never be shamed or stigmatised, women who model naked for sports betting firms must never be shamed or stigmatised either.

Furthermore, progressives are tireless proponents of what they call “body positivity”. So they should be ardently applauding this young woman for displaying such wonderful self-confidence in her naked form.

For some reason, however, Ms Sweeney seems to get nothing but grief from people on the Left. Last year, when she did an advert for a brand of jeans, she was accused not only of “playing into sexist stereotypes” (by showing some cleavage) but also, bizarrely, of “promoting eugenics” (apparently because the ad’s tagline was “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”. Which sounds like “great genes”).

Then, after The Guardian reported that Ms Sweeney was a registered Republican voter, Left-wing social media users nicknamed her “Maga Barbie”. Which is doubly confusing, because I was under the impression that, as a result of Greta Gerwig's acclaimed

2023 film, Barbie is now considered a proud beacon of liberal feminism.

How very odd. Still, if progressives aren't willing to defend a woman's inalienable right to be filmed playing golf topless, I suppose I'll just have to do it myself.

Well, Prime Minister, I did try to warn you. In Saturday's Way of the World column, I patiently explained to our political class that it was a mistake to crack down on people wearing face coverings in public, while allowing an exemption for the burka. As I pointed out, this was because the mobs of masked men protesting against illegal immigration in places like Portsmouth would inevitably start wearing the burka themselves.

Later that very same day, what happened? At a protest against illegal immigration in Portsmouth, a man turned up wearing a burka.

No doubt many more of these protesters will follow his example. So I do hope the Government will now recognise the folly of its approach. Not least because it's bound to put the police in a most awkward position.

After all, if a group of these men inform the police that they're wearing burkas because they identify as Muslim women, how can the police dispute it? White people are entitled to convert to Islam. And biological males

FOLLOW Michael Deacon on X @MichaelPDeacon READ MORE at telegraph.co.uk/opinion

are entitled to identify as women. So who are the police to say that burka-clad men are not real Muslims, or indeed real women?

As we all know, our police have made strenuous efforts in recent years to become more inclusive. So what a shame it would be to undo all that good work by refusing to affirm the identities of these white, male, Muslim women. Frankly, I would consider it both Islamophobic and transphobic. And I'm sure everyone in the trans Muslim community would agree.

Anyway, this whole sorry business could have been easily avoided if only Labour ministers read Way of the World. Normally, I discourage governments from increasing state spending. But taking a subscription to the Telegraph in order to read this column would be a worthwhile use of public funds, and save ministers from a lot of embarrassment.

While cooking lunch on Sunday, I noticed something rather peculiar about the packet of salt I was using. At the top, the label read: "Himalaya's finest rock salt. Over 250 million years old." But then at the bottom there was a small sticker, which read: "Best before: 01 Aug 2027."

In other words: the salt is fine for the first quarter of a billion years. But don't use it after that, in case it's gone off.

The Red Sea route is in peril once again

The crisis in the Gulf is deepening despite Donald Trump's increasingly fretful efforts to end it. Iran continues to resist US attacks on its oil and gas infrastructure even though they are clearly wrecking its economy. Now the Houthis

- a proxy of Tehran – have launched a lightning offensive against Yemeni government positions, seizing the country's entire Red Sea coast. This follows the breakdown of a ceasefire with Saudi Arabia.

Houthi forces launched several attacks against Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure and captured the strategic island of Perim on Sunday. They now have control over the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which separates the Arabian Peninsula from the Horn of Africa and is a vital lane for international shipping and global oil supplies.

Their offensive was supported by drones launched from Iraq by Iran-aligned militias, damaging the East-West oil pipeline which Saudi authorities subsequently shut down. It normally carries millions of barrels of oil a day. Unless it is reopened soon, Saudi traders fear running out of oil stocks for export within days.

While the Houthis say they will only target Saudi shipping in the Red Sea, other flagged vessels are unlikely to rely on such assurances, given the Houthi attacks on traffic allegedly linked to Israel between 2023 and 2025. This will force shipping to use longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope, inflating the prices of goods.

The Houthi assault pushed up oil prices above \$108 a barrel for a time and gas rose by five per cent to its highest level since December 2022. The markets were further rattled by the postponement of a planned meeting between the Gulf states and Iran to discuss creating a temporary shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil and gas supply normally passes.

The seriousness of this development to the regional and global economy should not be underestimated. Until now, Saudi Arabia had been relied upon to keep the Houthis in check and has conducted hundreds of air strikes on rebel positions without dislodging its fighters.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed these developments with US Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper in Jeddah yesterday following a request for US help to fight the Houthis.

Given the mess caused by his ill-starred war on Iran, President Trump is said to be reluctant to help the Saudis and does not believe the current upsurge in violence affects US interests. On his trip to Ireland, he said the Houthis had let Washington know they are only focused on Saudi Arabia. “I can say everything’s going to work out fine and dandy. It’s going to be great,” he said. But the situation could rapidly get out of hand, with Israel stepping up the readiness of its naval forces.

Ahead of the midterm elections in America, the potential impact on the US economy might force Mr Trump's hand once more.

Like splitting the atom, it is possible for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to be both a potential blessing for mankind and a threat to its existence. Harnessing atomic power led to a revolution in energy production, but also to the creation of weapons with the capacity to wipe out humanity. We have always treated the latter seriously, with treaties to limit the size of nuclear arsenals, even if the threat remains from rogue actors.

With AI, however, efforts to curb its transition from a useful tool to an entity capable of independent, and possibly malign, activity have been slow to materialise. A security summit at Bletchley Park in 2023 concluded with a pledge by world leaders and tech entrepreneurs not to release potentially dangerous AI onto the internet.

But this has not stopped the big producers from pushing the boundaries of what is possible to the point where they are now voicing alarm at the speed of AI's advance. The biggest players in this field – OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Google DeepMind – have joined forces to demand a brake on growth. But the obvious response is: why don't they just pull the plug on their own creations? Since they are the progenitors of AI, it is within their gift to stop it. Claims that AI agents are already acting independently of human instruction have been challenged by some sceptical observers.

The suspicion is that they are trying to keep others out of the market they already dominate ahead of their public listings. Beijing has also accused the US tech bosses of deliberate alarmism. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said countries should promote “open, inclusive, universally beneficial and ethical” development of AI technology.

Is China really offering to open up its AI industry to global scrutiny? Since the answer to that is almost certainly “no”, Donald Trump is anxious that US firms do not slow down, while insisting that he has matters under control.

“We’re leading China in AI… and frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI, wins.”

As with the Start nuclear weapons talks between America and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the forthcoming US-China summit would be a good place to consider how an AI arms race might be controlled to mutual advantage.

Labour's confected outrage over Reform mega-donors fails to convince

SIR – If the Labour Party had been given two £36m donations from overseas voters, would it be bringing in a bill to stop such individuals contributing gifts of more than £100,000 annually (“Reform attacks unions over ‘two-tier donations’ system”, report, September 14)?

I don't think so. It's sheer spite aimed at Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Jo Stevens Glastonbury, Somerset

Glastonbury, Somerset

SIR – I fail to see the difference between an individual giving money to a political party – allegedly to influence future policies – and a trade union giving money for what can only be that reason.

How the money being given was generated is in most cases immaterial. Bob Hart

Newark, Nottinghamshire fully prepared for power. This cannot be an unhealthy development.

The claim that our electoral system is being hijacked by two enormously rich individuals is also bogus. They are funding a party, not bribing all the voters in the country. Peter Roberts

Nantwich, Cheshire

SIR – Roger Howard (Letters, September 14) seems to object to the substantial donations made to Reform and fears that this will “foist a Trumpian government on the nation”.

The suggestion that people donate to, and might vote for, the “wrong” party is condescending and ignores the fact that voters still have to be convinced by that party’s policies and arguments.

Given that we are currently ruled by an incompetent and dangerous Labour Party, many would argue that a Trumpian government is exactly what is needed. Alan Tomlinson Cheadle, Cheshire

SIR – Reform is a newish and possibly ill-prepared party. These donations, however, will help to create a party

SIR – Suggestions have been made to introduce new restrictions on political donations and to apply them retrospectively. In my opinion, making such laws retrospective is immoral and ill-judged.

If the Government seeks to require Reform to return donations that were lawful when they were made, it could trigger a protracted legal battle that might run until the next general election. There is no guarantee that the Government would prevail.

In a free society, people should be able to donate to whichever party they feel represents their own views, provided they do so legally. In this regard, the proposal to limit such donations is itself undemocratic.

Ultimately, any prolonged legal jousting would backfire, serving only to ensure continuous free publicity for Reform.

Bristol

Celtic independence

SIR – Representatives of the Celtic nations have met in Wales to discuss their independence (“Burnham cannot stop end of United Kingdom, says Sinn Féin”, telegraph.co.uk, September 14). I wonder how long it will take them to realise that this would actually be granting England independence. Martin Bastone East Grained and West Sussex

East Grinstead, West Sussex

SIR – I have no doubt that at some point Ireland will reunite, but the best way forward is surely to leave it to the Irish people. They would, I am sure, prefer a delayed but peaceful unity, rather than suffer outside interference and the further strife that would follow a forced, premature union encouraged by self-seeking individuals such as Donald Trump (Letters, September 14). R Davidson

Defence delays

Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire

SIR – Your report (September 13) on the decision to delay the order for new attack submarines, the first of which will not be built until “the mid-2030s”, illustrates the Government’s reluctance to fund defence to the required level.

Will the welfare state provide Russian and Chinese language courses, so that we are prepared in case of war? Anthony Trevelyan Kemerton, Worcestershire

SIR – Without national security, there can be no guarantee of security in any other sphere of society. Yet instead of funding our Armed Forces adequately now, this Government is forcing them to make cuts. It is madness.

Singular talent: Havergal Brian completed his last symphony in 1968, at the age of 92

Barry, Glamorgan

School screen tests

The global AI race

SIR – As a retired teacher with many years' experience of reception classes, I was horrified to read your article on digital assessments for that age group (“Four-year-olds ‘left crying’ by Labour’s digital reception tests”, report, September 14).

An English composer overlooked by the Proms

SIR – I'm increasingly unconvinced by the rhetoric about how the United States needs to reach superintelligence before China (report, September 14). Suppose the US gets there in 2027 and China follows in 2028. What, precisely, has been won?

Headteachers and their staff should resist this imposition. Reception teachers spend five hours a day with their children and come to understand them very well, balancing their intellectual progress with their emotional needs. Rigid screen tests have no place in this environment. Barbara Lowndes London SE3

Law of the landlord

The first mover might gain a temporary military or economic advantage, but history suggests that technological breakthroughs rarely remain exclusive for long. Think of the space race, nuclear weapons, semiconductors and countless other technologies. Being first can bring prestige and a brief advantage; it may not confer lasting supremacy.

Later on people flocked to the pub and would compete to be thrown out. My father rather regretted that he was never sent packing. Lesley Thompson Lavenham, Suffolk

SIR – My father rarely drank but enjoyed an occasional shandy in the 1980s at the Tickell Arms in a village outside Cambridge (Letters, September 12). The attraction was the notoriously rude landlord who, if he took a dislike to a customer (he often found fault with their accent or grammar when ordering, and objected to “Lefty loonies” and “collarless shirt wearers”), would shout: “You’re barred – get out!”

A man we knew was mortified to be expelled after buying a bottle of expensive wine to impress his date. The publican – who went by the grand name of Kim Joseph Hollick de la Taste Tickell – decided that the woman he was with was not his wife (this was correct) and said he would not serve “scheming adulterers”.

Perhaps the real race shouldn't be over who gets there first, but who gets there safely and whether we can prevent an arms race once they do. Graham Andrew

SIR - Following the Last Night of the Proms, which this year managed to feature patriotic songs and traditional flag-waving, Sam Jackson, controller of BBC Radio 3, may well feel he can congratulate himself. With 20 premieres given this summer, the BBC's support for new music is not in doubt. However, I write to challenge Mr Jackson's cult of novelty.

The English composer Havergal Brian (1876-1972), whose 150th anniversary falls this year, was studiously overlooked in a season of hybrid music that favoured jazz, progressive rock and a slurry of film scores. Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Brian was a working-class, self-taught prodigy who composed well into his nineties. This should be the year to showcase one – or in fact all – of his 32 symphonies, the majority of which were composed after he had turned 70. The late flurry of activity is one of the many hallmarks of

The Church of England's route to revival

Brunn am Gebirge, Mödling, Austria

SIR – I am a Roman Catholic, but it is with genuine sadness that I witness the seemingly rapid demise of the Church of England (Letters, September 13).

Brian's singular talent, which was admired by Richard Strauss and Edward Elgar – and, curiously, the Grateful Dead, whose charitable foundation supported him financially. Making the case for Brian is surely the responsibility of our publicly funded broadcaster. In his time he was encouraged by the BBC producer Robert Simpson (1921-1997), himself a composer. His rediscovery in the 1950s and 1960s is an unfinished story, which Mr Jackson has failed to address.

St John Paul gave us a wonderful work – the Catechism. It lays out our beliefs for all to understand. But this work is based on a tripod: the Word of God, Catholic tradition and the Magisterium. It is not some new fad.

Marlborough, Wiltshire

Many Christian denominations criticise Catholics for their tradition

On the question of whether Brian should join the pantheon of great English composers, his music must be aired regularly so that people can make up their own minds. Was he a genuine talent or merely a cult composer? I consider the denial of this opportunity to be profoundly disrespectful to Brian's memory in his sesquicentennial year. Giles Wood

because they look solely at the Bible. What they miss is that all of the New Testament is Catholic tradition. We are taught not to criticise other denominations, but find that some are still working out what to believe. My advice to the Church of England would be to work out as soon as possible what it believes and act on it. This creates stability, which is a pathway to growth. Andrew Bugden Harrow, Middlesex

SIR – Those who still believe that membership of the EU is the route to economic growth will need to consider the latest data. The Government points to the UK's performance as the fastest-growing G7 economy. However, as the monthly figures for July show, growth is driven by AI investment and development in the UK.

By comparison, AI innovation in the EU is strangled by regulation, and thus lags far behind that of this country. Nigel Thomas

Chippenham, Wiltshire

Equestrian champion

SIR – The achievements of Gemma Stevens and Saffie Osborne, who won the Burghley Horse Trials and the St Leger Classic respectively, have rightly taken the sporting headlines. It should be recognised, too, that on consecutive weekends the Princess Royal has presented the winner with their deserved prizes. Equestrianism owes her immense gratitude for her unwavering support. EMC Shakespeare Newbury, West Berkshire

B&B behind bars

SIR – John Jenkins's letter (“A helping hand from the French authorities”, September 12) reminded me of the occasion in 1961 when I and two other university students from UCL were hitch-hiking from Denmark to Sweden.

It was dark, and a police car pulled up alongside us to ask what we were doing. When we explained our intentions, they told us that this was too dangerous at night, and we should jump in. They drove us to the police station, gave us cells to sleep in and, to top it all, gave us breakfast in the morning before sending us on our way. Colin Hawes Bentley, Suffolk

Reform's big wins have made it a crypto-party

CHARLES MOORE NOTEBOOK

Reform has, and should have, every right to accept £72m from two crypto billionaires. Political parties should be free to arise at any time and in almost any way. They need money. By trying to restrict political donations, Labour is edging towards the nationalisation of political parties, making them organs of the state rather than the vehicles of citizens.

It is particularly disgraceful that the Government, in the form of Angela Rayner, talks of making new restrictions retrospective. Retrospective legislation is a way of robbing people: they follow what the law is, and then find themselves punished for having done so. It gives government arbitrary power.

So Reform is welcome to its two big wins. The sums are so vast, however, that their psychological effect may resemble that on ordinary people winning millions in the lottery - exultation, followed by confusion, loneliness and, eventually, penury.

By accepting such sums, Reform will produce various consequences.

One could be that the donors, Christopher Harborne and Ben Delo, having resumed British residency for the purpose of donation, could quite soon leave, rather like the Three Wise Men returning to the East after

handing over their gifts in Bethlehem. They will not be needed again and can escape further British tax.

Whether or not they leave, Reform will now have no need of other big donors before the next election. All donors will feel disincentivised.

Another consequence is that Reform has chosen to define itself by its sources of money. We all know about Mr Harborne's £5m given to Nigel Farage personally before the last election. Last week, we all heard about the sting in which senior Reform officials were filmed accepting what appeared to be an offer to pay the party foreign money dishonestly. We know

Reform is a party obsessed with borders. Crypto is a concept that believes in transcending such rules

that Mr Farage, like Donald Trump, has personally benefited from cryptocurrency trading. Crypto is the world in which Messrs Harborne and Delo have made their fortunes.

Now we know that Reform will live off crypto money. This makes it extremely distant from the type of British citizens whose vote it seeks. Crypto is, as its very name suggests, cryptic (deriving from the Greek for “hidden”), which is the opposite of what democratic politics is supposed to be. Crypto operates in a grey zone of legality. Reform is a party obsessed with the importance of national

borders. Crypto is a concept which believes in transcending and evading the rules which borders try to impose.

Reform is proud that it is not constructed in the conventional ways of what it calls the “uniparty” – Labour and Conservatives. It is the political equivalent of a bold business start-up – conceived, promoted, owned and run chiefly by its brilliant entrepreneur, Mr Farage. Between now and the general election, it will have to submit to endless questions about its structure.

In mainstream parties, the leader has almost nothing to do with the money-raising. The treasurer runs that. How does it work with Reform? Who has the power to decide how the money is spent? What sort of salaries and fees will be paid to staff, policy wonks, spin doctors, events organisers, PR firms? Similar questions will be asked about the policy process, especially in relation to business.

I repeat: it is good that rich people want to help political parties, so long as the public are told the facts. I do not know Mr Harborne, but I have known Mr Delo for several years, and he seems to me a brave, freedom-loving and public-spirited person with the rather innocent approach of someone who, by his own account, is “on the spectrum”. Good luck to him. But he should understand that Reform’s good faith will constantly be called into question. It has become a crypto party.

Until now, the train journey to Kyiv from Poland, or from Lviv in western Ukraine, has felt fairly safe.

Ukrainian airspace has been closed since the Russian invasion of 2022, so this 12-hour journey, with its slight feel of The Lady Vanishes, has been the principal means of travel. I have used it myself, on one occasion travelling with Boris Johnson, a particularly good companion, since he remains a hero to many Ukrainians.

This weekend, that changed. Russia attacked the line. Its target (missed) was probably a train carrying Mr Johnson and various Western national security advisers, including our own Jonathan Powell.

Why did Vladimir Putin not do this earlier? I surmise it was part of his pretence that the invasion is a “special military operation” and is therefore confined. Now he is getting into a war without limits.

It is very sad that Western supporters of Ukraine will now be at greater risk, and it will make Kyiv a more beleaguered place. On the other hand, the previous safety of the journey gave Westerners the illusion that the war is not that bad. This has made us slower and more complacent about giving Ukraine the help it needs.

Will we react timidly, warning against “provoking” Putin to attack Poland, or will we redouble our efforts to back Ukraine militarily, financially and politically? We need to understand that Putin is widening the war not because he is winning but because he isn’t. He thinks he needs something spectacular to spread fear in the West and to quieten growing discontent at home. We should press forward.

Bank poised to halt debt sales amid bond turmoil

Overhaul of Threadneedle Street's money printing programme could save the Government up to £2.5bn

By Szu Ping Chan

THE Bank of England is poised to halt its sales of long-term government debt as soaring borrowing costs pile pressure on the Chancellor.

Officials at Threadneedle Street have drawn up plans with the Treasury and Debt Management Office (DMO), which issues bonds on behalf of the Government, to overhaul its money-printing programme.

Under the plans, the Bank will stop actively selling 20 and 30-year gilts – as UK government bonds are known – that it amassed as it attempted to stabilise the economy during the financial crisis and Covid lockdowns.

Economists believe sales of this long-term debt have cost taxpayers £22bn since 2022.

Sources insisted that any final decision rested with the Bank. An announcement is expected on Thursday alongside a crucial vote on interest rates, with markets warning of four increases over the next year.

It comes as a global bond sell-off is piling pressure on John Healey, the Chancellor, before his maiden Budget on Oct 28.

Last week, Britain paid the highest rate to borrow in more than a quarter of a century over concerns about rising inflation and unsustainable government debt levels. Meanwhile, US borrowing costs yesterday also hit 5pc for the first time since 2023.

The Bank of England bought large swathes of long-term debt under its quantitative easing (QE) scheme when prices were high and it is now selling them back to the market at much lower prices, resulting in a loss to the taxpayer.

Analysts at Deutsche Bank have calculated that the Bank is selling long-term bonds through so-called quantitative tightening (QT) at an average discount of around 50pc.

The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates unwinding its bond portfolio will cost taxpayers an additional £100bn over the next five years. However, halting longer-dated bond sales could save an estimated £2.5bn per year by the end of the decade and give the Chancellor more room to ease cost of living pressures.

While this could save Mr Healey billions, it will complicate his efforts to meet his fiscal rule of balancing the books on day-to-day spending.

This is because stopping loss-making bond sales on money-printing leaves the Bank with more reserves that it must pay interest on.

The Bank has been rapidly reducing the £895bn stockpile of bonds amassed since launching QT in 2009 to boost the economy. It now stands at £490bn, with roughly £150bn of this comprising long-term gilts with maturities exceeding 20 years.

Economists have criticised the Bank's approach to selling bonds, which is among the fastest in the G7.

Threadneedle Street is the only major central bank actively selling bonds to the market before they mature, immediately resulting in billions of pounds of losses for the taxpayer.

Richard Tice, Reform UK's deputy leader, ramped up his attacks on so-called “quantitative tightening” yesterday. He said: “We shouldn't be doing quantitative tightening, we shouldn't be paying voluntary interest on printed money.”

Under the Bank's plans, active bond sales will continue – which investors predict will be £20bn in the coming year – but they will exclude long-term debt, where losses have been much greater. The Bank will also stop offloading bonds directly to investors and begin selling the short-term and medium-term bonds it holds directly to the Treasury's DMO to help manage the extra debt supply.

Bank officials previously considered selling debt directly back to the DMO in 2022, as is the approach in New Zealand. However, this plan did not progress over concerns it could undermine the Bank's independence.

Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank, has repeatedly defended the Bank's approach to debt sales, arguing that a halt would only stretch losses over a longer time horizon.

The Bank of England and Treasury declined to comment.

Crispin Odey loses battle against lifetime ban from City

By Michael Bow and Tom Saunders

CRISPIN ODEY has failed to overturn a lifetime City ban after a series of sexual misconduct allegations.

The former hedge fund star lost his appeal against the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) yesterday, which banned him from the financial services sector and fined him £1.8m last year.

The FCA had ruled that Mr Odey showed a “lack of integrity” after trying to hamper an internal investigation into misconduct allegations at his hedge fund, Odey Asset Management (OAM). He denies the misconduct allegations.

Mr Odey received a final written warning from OAM in February 2021 "in relation to inappropriate behaviour" following an internal investigation. The FCA said he then hampered an internal disciplinary process by dismissing two executive committees, which were due to hold disciplinary hearings.

In the decision dismissing Mr Odey's appeal, the Upper Tribunal judges said: "He demonstrated a disregard for standards and requirements that he was reasonably expected to meet based upon the circumstances in question.

"He sees nothing wrong with his approach, and indeed he wrongly sees himself as the victim of both OAM's actions and the FCA's. As he put it in his evidence, he considers that he 'was the victim in all this'."

In a statement after the judgment, the FCA said Mr Odey's only purpose "was self-preservation and to avoid being held to account for his behaviour".

The City watchdog added: “He abused his power and disregarded the impact that his actions had on the firm and its employees – in particular women who had to work in a culture where his inappropriate behaviour had been normalised – in sending a clear message that he was effectively untouchable.”

The Upper Tribunal, which handles appeals against FCA decisions, also ruled that Mr Odey would face a fine of £1.53m alongside the ban.

Therese Chambers, the executive director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA, said: "Mr Odey clearly thought he could act with impunity. He twice sacked those tasked with protecting female employees from his inappropriate behaviour when they tried to hold him to account. He felt the rules shouldn't apply to him and acted to save his own skin."

According to an internal report conducted by an outside law firm, Mr Odey faced at least 46 allegations of inappropriate conduct in a 17-year period at his hedge fund. Earlier this year, he settled personal injury claims brought against him by five women for sexual assault.

Representatives for Mr Odey did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump attacks ‘sick conspiracy against AI’ after pleas for slowdown

By Chris Price

DONALD TRUMP said there was a “sick conspiracy” against AI after the head of Claude chatbot-maker Anthropic called for a slowdown in the technology’s development.

The US president warned China would be happy after the bosses of OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX and Google DeepMind joined forces to demand a brake on growth.

He launched a personal attack against Dario Amodei, the Anthropic chief executive, who he said was pretending to be a “perfect little angel”.

Mr Amodei published a letter on Saturday calling for an industry-wide slowdown to prevent safety issues going “seriously wrong”.

Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “The Trump Administration has stopped AI ‘people’ from doing bad, or potentially bad, ‘things’, like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a ‘perfect little angel’ – and we will continue to do so!

"We already have tremendous CRIMINAL and REGULATORY power over these companies!

"There is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China."

US tech stocks fell sharply on Wall Street after AI bosses called for a slowdown, with the Nasdaq down by as much as 1.3pc. Nvidia, the world's largest listed company and a manufacturer of semiconductors used in the AI race, plunged by 4.2pc, while fellow chipmaker AMD dropped 6.2pc.

China accused the tech bosses who called for a slowdown in AI development over safety fears of “fearmongering”. Guo Jiakun, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, said: “Fearmongering, confrontation and vicious competition will only disrupt the process of global AI governance and serve the interests of no one.”

He added that countries should promote “open, inclusive, universally beneficial and ethical” development of AI. China is in a race with the US to

Fall in South Korea's Kospi index yesterday, which preceded declines in Europe and the US

develop the most sophisticated AI. Unlike the US, it leans heavily on cheaper “open source” models, which can be developed by multiple developers rather than a single company.

After the warnings, the main European indexes in France, Germany and Spain fell as much as 0.9pc, following falls in South Korea and Japan overnight. South Korea's Kospi index had tumbled by 3.3pc, while Japan's Nikkei dropped by 0.8pc.

It echoes a sharp downturn suffered by tech companies last year when Chinese company DeepSeek released an AI chatbot claimed to have been developed at a fraction of the price of those made by OpenAI and Anthropic.

Mr Amodei's comments were endorsed by Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI, Sir Demis Hassabis, the chairman of Google DeepMind, and Elon Musk. However, some investors questioned their motives as OpenAI and Anthropic prepare for public listings on Wall Street. Michael Burry, who bet on the US housing market crash, said the warnings were “simply an attempt to increase the perception of their power before their IPOs”.

Dan Baker, from Morningstar, said the downturn in AI shares “probably reflects the possibility that AI development may be slowed by regulators to try to avoid the worst case outcomes that Anthropic and OpenAI have discussed”.

In his letter on Sunday, Mr Amodei said: "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast and we must make wise use of the time we gain.

"The measures I propose to advance the frontier at a safe pace will not be easy. But I believe we owe it to humanity to try."

Ignore rising costs ‘at your peril’, Ford warns

By Matt Oliver

THE UK boss of Ford has warned Labour that it ignores rising energy, tax and regulatory costs “at our peril” amid fears of a fresh raid on businesses.

Lisa Brankin said the car giant's British operations were already under heavy pressure, forcing the company to work “really hard to make sure that we keep what we’ve got”.

Speaking to The Telegraph during a tour of Ford's Dagenham plant, she said: "I think we neglect the cost issue at our peril, if we think that new jobs will stay here irrespective of cost."

Her comments represent the latest warning from Britain's beleaguered automotive industry following the decision by Jaguar Land Rover to cut 4,000 jobs and come as John Healey, the Chancellor, is reportedly mulling more tax rises to plug a hole in the public finances.

Ms Brankin pointed to recent increases to National Insurance contributions and business rates, high industrial electricity prices and the

Government's electric vehicle targets as examples of costs that were squeezing companies. She said: "There's a point where that comes back to bite you and I think we're seeing the cost – the cost of energy in particular in the UK – becoming really, really challenging."

Ms Brankin said Ford's UK operations would be difficult to replicate elsewhere and that its workforce was highly skilled and efficient but admitted “there are certainly cheaper places to operate”.

The Government was approached for comment.

Pubgoers to use digital IDs to buy drinks

By Tom Haynes

PUBGOERS will be able to use digital ID on their phones to prove they are more than 18 when buying alcohol under new rules.

Pubs, supermarkets and other retailers will be able to accept digital age checks at the till or bar from today. The digital ID will be linked to a physical ID such as a passport.

The Telegraph understands several major retailers and pub groups are interested in adopting the technology.

Some smaller operators will be able to access the ID-checking services free.

The Government has likened the rollout to the spread of contactless payments, with adoption expected to build as more businesses begin accepting digital ID.

Digital ID companies have grown rapidly as governments and technology companies have tightened online age checks. One of the biggest players in the market said it now processes around one million a day. The surge has been driven in part by the Online Safety Act

2023, which has required pornography sites to introduce strict age checks using facial age estimation and photo-ID checks since last year.

But the system being opened up for alcohol will require more rigorous verification measures.

Customers will have to prove their identity using a genuine document before they can create a digital ID.

At the bar, they scan their face to unlock a QR code that expires after about 30 seconds, making it harder to pass a digital ID to someone else.

Inside City tycoon Crispin Odey's fall from grace

His bid to return to the City resurfaces a deluge of allegations. James Warrington, Tom Saunders and Louis Goss report

STOOPED about the witness box, Crispin Odey was barely audible as he was cross-examined by a lawyer for the City watchdog. The normally ebullient hedge fund boss, 67, was giving evidence as part of his attempt to overturn a lifetime ban from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The hearing earlier this year focused on an arcane section of the watchdog's rule book: whether Odey – who twice fired his executive committee before it could discipline him about allegations he “lacked integrity” – acted “recklessly” and breached its rules.

But everyone in the room knew the subtext to the proceedings: the hedge fund tycoon's history of alleged sexual misconduct stretching back decades.

Perhaps it was the toxicity of these allegations that made Odey vacillate between proud and evasive when answering questions from the FCA's chief counsel, Clare Sibson KC.

Asked later by the judge why he chose to close Odey Asset Management (OAM), his eponymous hedge fund, instead of trying to sell his stake, he responded: “I am a proud man.”

This defiance pushed Odey into an expensive legal battle with the City watchdog – one that cast fresh light on repeated allegations of sexual misconduct stretching back decades.

That battle ended in defeat for Odey yesterday. A court upheld a £1.53m fine for the financier – reduced from an initial claim of £1.8m – and lifetime ban from financial services, ruling in favour of the City watchdog.

The Upper Tribunal, which decides on appeals to the FCA, ruled in its favour, finding Odey had deliberately worked to frustrate an internal investigation into misconduct allegations, while showing “reckless disregard” for City rules.

It said Odey had “repeatedly prioritised his own interests at the expense of risk of detriment to OAM, its staff, members and investors” while seeing “nothing wrong with his approach”. The FCA said: “Mr Odey’s only purpose was self-preservation and to avoid being held to account for his behaviour.”

For many observers, the spectacle of Odey in court laid bare the other side of a man once lauded as one of the “sharpest and most contrarian brains” in the City.

Odey was a rarity among his secretive hedge fund peers, enjoying an outsized and flamboyant public persona.

Born to Yorkshire industrialists, Odey was educated at Harrow and Christ Church, Oxford, where he read history and economics.

The hedge fund boss correctly predicted that the value of insurance companies would rise in the wake of 9/11, before pocketing £28m in 2008 after successfully predicting the financial crisis. The Brexit-backing financier gained further notoriety among political opponents in 2016 when he made £220m by betting that markets would drop following the referendum result. “Il mattino ha l'oro in bocca,” [The morning has gold in its

After graduating, Odey was handed control of the 4,000-acre Hotham Hall estate that had been in his family for centuries, but was soon forced to sell everything off to settle his father's huge debts. After entering the City, he was briefly married to Rupert Murdoch's eldest daughter, Prudence, but the relationship only lasted 15 months before they divorced.

Over the ensuing decades, Odey became one of London's best known hedge fund tycoons, in part owing to his astute ability to cash in on chaos.

Then, in 1991, he married Nichola Pease, a fund manager whose family helped found Barclays. The same year, Odey set up his eponymous firm with backing from early investors including George Soros.

Odey, who in 2010 threatened to leave the UK in protest over high tax rates, has complemented his financial gains with forays into politics. He made political donations valued at a total of £1.7m between 2007 and 2019.

mouth], Odey crowed to the BBC on the morning after the vote.

Odey has not been immune to failure. OAM, whose assets under management stood at \$13.3bn (£9.9bn) at its peak in 2015, went through volatile shifts in fortune. In 1994, one of his funds lost 44pc of its value.

Undoubtedly, though, Odey has done well out of his bets. His pay peaked at £36m in 2010 and he and his wife were estimated at £775m net worth in 2019.

In addition to his own fund, Odey held a significant stake in Sky, which he cashed in following its \$39bn takeover by Comcast.

Some went to Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party. More recently he donated to Nigel Farage's Reform. The majority of his donations were channelled into groups campaigning for Brexit. The financier, who has a

The trial, which came in the wake of the “Me Too” movement, gained significant publicity, with the hedge fund chief pictured leaving court clad in a face mask and flanked by his wife. Odey admitted propositioning the

It also banned him from physical contact with other staff members, excluding handshaking, and inviting or accompanying any female members of staff to events or shopping trips or contacting them over text or email.

That the allegations took so long to surface has in part been put down to a culture of complicity within OAM. But it was also a result of Odey's concerted efforts to bury the allegations and oust anyone who threatened to make them public. After the damning internal report was published in 2021, OAM's executive committee issued a final written warning to Odey over his behaviour. The court heard that it cut Odey's pay by 40pc, following pressure from the FCA.

The allegations first emerged publicly in 2020, when Odey was charged with indecent assault of a woman in 1998 after she accused him of groping her in his Chelsea home.

Odey's larger-than-life personality contrasted with allegations of a more menacing side. Media reporting and the lengthy dispute with the City watchdog have detailed incidents in which women were allegedly sexually assaulted. In one case, a woman accused him of rape, which he strenuously denied.

sausage named after him, was also notorious for his prodigious appetite. At one midweek meal with a journalist, he paired steak and kidney pudding and mash with a “side order” of a loin of beef and two bottles of wine.

On the stand, Odey acknowledged staff thought he was a “creepy old man” but defended his behaviour with female subordinates. “Maybe I am a dinosaur; I cannot see how any of that can be sexual harassment,” he said.

His reputation earned him the nickname “the octopus”.

Odey also mounted a £79m defamation claim against the FT, but dropped it in April.

The consequences have already rippled through Odey's private life. He and Pease, who have three children together, divorced soon after his court case in 2021. Odey has since remarried Diana Vitkova, a Bulgarian-born finance executive 26 years his junior.

Odey argued that the FCA was under “political pressure” and “sought a totemic case”, adding that the watchdog had a “pre-determined view of his fitness and propriety”.

The lawsuits include allegations that Odey raped a woman in the mid-1990s, an accusation he called “wholly false”.

Meanwhile, OAM collapsed in 2023 as major banks cut ties and investors pulled their money, forcing the company to start winding down its

woman, then 26, but denied assault. He was acquitted in 2021, with the judge ruling there were “inconsistencies” in the woman’s account. Two years later, Tortoise, and then the Financial Times, published investigations outlining allegations that Odey sexually harassed or assaulted 13 women over the course of 25 years. In May, Odey settled civil claims from five women, weeks before they were to be heard in court.

That summer a new allegation surfaced after Odey told a temporary receptionist she should “take a lover”, the court heard, and then accidentally showed her an indecent photo of his girlfriend while sharing pictures from a fishing trip.

funds. Odey mounted his challenge against the FCA ruling earlier this year, seemingly in an attempt to cling on to what might have remained of his status within the industry.

Yet the hearings in the Upper Tribunal did little to repair his reputation, particularly after he failed to have the sexual harassment claims excluded from the case.

Yet this incident was described as being part of a culture of “prolific sexual harassment” that was “accepted as part of the deal” of working at OAM. As one of his former employees testified, Odey was a “sex pest” who found it “hard to control himself” around women.

By the end of the hearings, the FCA's lawyers had accused Odey of submitting “false evidence” to the court and a “brazen” attempt to create a “false history” of events.

“Mr Odey displayed a remarkable absence of self-awareness, was evasive, inconsistent, and had a tendency to attack others whilst playing the victim”, the regulator argued in submissions to the court. Witness statements and court testimony paint a picture of a working environment controlled by a domineering and at times abusive boss.

In November, the executive committee scheduled a disciplinary hearing to consider whether Odey had breached its final warning. But Odey acted first. On Christmas Eve, the tycoon sacked the entire committee – a move described by one witness as the “nuclear option”.

Odey Asset Management, which was based in a five-storey Georgian townhouse in Mayfair, operated much like a feudal state, with Odey

controlling 75pc of the fund. He had a reputation for reportedly hiring “earls and girls”, with a predominantly male and former public school workforce and women hired usually only as receptionists.

The court heard one incident in which it was claimed Odey gave a female employee a massage before “groping her breasts”. He was then accused of trying to manipulate the woman “into silence”. The hedge fund boss has blamed his actions on a dental sedative he took earlier that day.

In 2020, OAM commissioned law firm Simmons & Simmons to carry out an investigation into its founder's conduct. The resulting report detailed at least 46 misconduct claims against Odey dating back to 2003.

Odey subsequently decided that the disciplinary hearing into his conduct would be indefinitely postponed. He appointed new committee members but, following disagreement about how to proceed with the hearing, he sacked this board as well.

Odey says staff thought he was a 'creepy old man'

Odey accused of trying to silence victim

FCA made me a scapegoat in crackdown says Odey

There is no doubt that Odey was a force to be reckoned with. The hedge fund tycoon even took an aggressive approach towards the FCA itself, at one point threatening to “go straight to the f---- press”.

In an explosive outburst to one official at the watchdog, he said: "You will not get away with this – I have an agreement then you little guys, trying to do your work in the shadows... You are about to create a crisis."

For now, the City watchdog triumphed. The tribunal ruled against Odey, upholding all five of the FCA's allegations against the hedge fund manager, including that he threatened the watchdog's staff.

He has two weeks to file a further appeal. Instead of restoring his reputation, Odey's appeals have only caused a deluge of allegations to resurface. Therese Chambers, the FCA's executive director of enforcement, said: "During the hearing he reinvented history, painted himself as a victim and displayed no contrition.

“That arrogant entitlement and the resulting complete disregard for proper governance means Mr Odey is unfit to work in financial services.”

And, despite Odey's claims to the contrary, it is a crisis entirely of his own making.

Britain spends £84bn importing energy as Iran keeps prices high | Labour nationalises steelworks after talks to secure a buyer fail

By Eir Nolsøe

THE UK spent £84bn on buying oil, gas and electricity from abroad last year, amid warnings that high taxes are killing jobs in the North Sea and risking energy security.

The figure is the highest since 2022, when Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine plunged Europe into the most severe energy crisis in decades.

A report by Offshore Energies UK (OEUK), which represents the oil, gas, hydrogen, carbon capture and offshore wind industries, also said imports now account for more than 40pc of the country's energy needs. It warned that this leaves families and businesses more vulnerable to global disruption.

while oil prices surged as high as \$108.50 a barrel.

Energy prices have come under immense pressure from Donald Trump's war with Iran. Last week, Labour delayed a decision on whether to approve the Jackdaw gas field and Rosebank oil project in the North Sea, which its backers say will boost energy security. Gas prices in the UK have in recent days spiked to a four-year high,

The report warned that successive governments had undermined the UK's domestic oil and gas sector, accelerating a decline in domestic production.

The UK will need 561 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas in the decade to

Proportion of the UK's gas supply that will be made up of imported LNG by 2035, without new domestic production

2035, it noted. The UK is expected to produce only 176bcm over this period. OEUK said this figure could be as high as 288bcm, if the Government adopted “an investable fiscal regime and a pragmatic approach to licensing”.

If it does not, liquefied natural gas imports could make up 46pc of supply by 2035, as opposed to only 6pc in a scenario where domestic production is prioritised. The report warned: “LNG should be treated as a complement to domestic production, not a substitute. Future Norwegian piped imports also cannot be taken for granted.”

Norwegian officials have warned that supplies from the North Sea are in decline, threatening supplies to Britain, which relies on the Scandinavian country for around half of its gas.

LNG imports from the US rose by more than a third last year, increasing “exposure to global market volatility, geopolitical risk and higher lifecycle emissions”, the report said.

Three quarters of the LNG bought by the UK comes from the US, according to separate government figures.

Enrique Cornejo, from OEUK, said: "It is concerning that we are importing more LNG, when we could produce half of our demand of gas domestically with domestic resources.

“From the perspective of climate and emissions, LNG imports are more than three times more carbon-intensive compared to the average footprint of emissions in domestic [production].”

By Matt Oliver

LABOUR is to nationalise one of Britain's biggest steelworks after talks to find a private-sector buyer collapsed.

Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, said Speciality Steel UK (SSUK) was at risk of closure “by default” without ministers intervening. Its demise would also have meant the loss of 1,300 jobs across its sites in Rotherham, Stocksbridge, and Brinsworth in Yorkshire, and Wednesbury in the Midlands.

The company, previously owned by Sanjeev Gupta, the metals tycoon, has been in the hands of the Official Receiver for the last year while talks to find a buyer have taken place.

Officials had been in advanced talks with Blastr, a Norwegian start-up. However, Mr Reynolds said the Government had decided the potential buyer's request for state support did not represent good value for money.

That meant the only way to prevent SSUK's imminent collapse was to take it into public ownership, he said. The

Government said the takeover would be funded “from existing budgets” but did not disclose how much, if anything, it would pay for the business. He added due diligence processes were ongoing.

Continuing to run the business will cost taxpayers. Staff wages alone at the company's plant in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, have been costing the Offi-

cial Receiver £4m per month. As part of the nationalisation, SSUK's electric arc furnace, mothballed for months, is poised to restart in December.

Mr Reynolds said SSUK had “specialist capabilities” with “strategic value” beyond its contribution to the economy, and the company had previously made aircraft landing gear, helicopter rotors and components for missiles and artillery shells. It is also a supplier to oil and gas, automotive and engineering businesses.

Mr Reynolds told MPs: “We can allow events to take their course through the liquidation process, and risk being left with no say in the future of these sites, or we can act. This Government chooses to act. It would not be right to let this go by default.”

Blastr said it was “disappointed” by the decision.

The move represents Labour's latest state intervention in Britain's steel industry, with the Government now in control of more than half of the country's total output. Ministers also stepped in to seize control of British Steel from its Chinese owner last year, after separately handing £500m to Tata Steel to support a green overhaul of its plant in South Wales.

SSUK went into liquidation last year after Mr Gupta's main lender, Greensill Capital, collapsed in 2021. Since then, the Government has been trying to find a buyer.

Reduction in quantitative easing holdings from peak

Britain braces for a £100bn hangover as QE era ends

A holdover from the 2009 financial crisis, 'money printing' now weighs heavily on the public finances. By Szu Ping Chan

BRITAIN'S money-printing experiment is about to get more expensive. What began as a way to rescue the economy has quickly become a headache for both the government and the Bank of England.

In 2009, when interest rates low but the economy was crying out for help, banks began their campaign of “quantitative easing”.

First deployed in the US, “QE” as it became known, saw Threadneedle Street print money to buy government bonds, known as gilts. The goal was to drive down the cost of borrowing, encouraging people and businesses to spend more to stimulate the economy.

The experiment largely worked during the financial crisis. Jobs were saved while inflation remained low.

During lockdown, though, the results were very different as inflation took off and central banks around the world were forced to increase in interest rates.

In total, the Bank bought £895bn worth of bonds and, at first, money printing really did make money. That's because the cash created by the Bank to buy the bonds ended up being held as reserves by commercial banks at Threadneedle Street. The Bank pays interest on those reserves at the Bank of England base rate, currently 3.75pc.

When interest rates were slashed to a record low of 0.1pc during lockdown, the Old Lady earned more from the returns on its bond holdings than she had to pay out in interest.

By the end of 2021, the scheme was actually in £123.9bn of profit. It sent this money to the Treasury under a deal brokered by George Osborne, who at the time said the money would pay down debt.

But that cushion has been eroded as interest rates rose and the cost of paying interest on banks' reserves soared. At the same time, the Bank began aggressively shrinking its balance sheet through what's known as quantitative tightening (QT) – buying back bonds – with the stockpile now down to £489bn.

However, because bonds prices today are much lower than when the

Bank bought them several years ago, the Bank is selling them back to the market at a loss. In other words, taxpayers bear the cost.

Forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) show that higher interest payments and QT losses from bond sales will cost taxpayers almost £100bn between now and 2030.

Bank officials have conceded that the act of selling bonds may also have itself pushed up government borrowing costs by as much as 0.3 percentage points – adding billions more to the government's annual debt interest payments. Economists now believe money printing will start draining the public purse from April.

Paul Dales, chief UK economist at Capital Economics, estimates that the Bank's asset-purchasing policy “will have swung from recording a cumulative profit to recording a cumulative loss”.

While that amount is eye-watering, QT also has implications for John Healey's ability to balance the books and his own fiscal rules.

The OBR projects the bill will push the deficit up by an average of £5bn a year over the next few years, while increasing debt by an average of £9bn a year. It is an unwelcome bill for a Chancellor already dealing with the fallout from the Iran war.

Demand for 30 year gilts from pension funds has fallen sharply, as they no longer need to hedge the risks of gold-plated final salary pensions. The UK was forced to pay its highest rate since 1998 on 30-year debt at an auction last week.

Analysis by Deutsche Bank shows the Bank has booked £36bn of losses on more than £100bn of active gilt sales since they started in 2022.

Almost 60pc – or roughly £22bn – of those losses have come from long-dated gilt sales, where officials have been forced to offload them at more than half price compared with what the Bank bought them for.

The question now is whether there is a better way of managing the legacy of QE. Some MPs and economists want the Bank to stop selling long-dated bonds altogether, which are already unpopular with investors.

Barclays says this could save Healey £1bn next year.

The Bank has acknowledged the pressure, changing its sales last year from an even split of short, medium and long-term debt to 40pc, 40pc and 20pc across different maturities.

The Telegraph understands that the Bank will announce an overhaul of its debt sales at its interest rate decision this week, bringing a complete end to long-term bond sales. Sanjay Raja at

‘The real question is who bears that cost and how does it fall through time?’

Deutsche Bank says the case is compelling and could save Healey billions of pounds that could be used to support the cost of living.

“With long-term gilt yields at around their highest since 2008, selling into the long end risks adding to term-premium pressure where the market is thinnest,” he said.

William Ellis at the IPPR think tank said changes to QT would have “real world consequences” that could help to alleviate cost of living pressures by bringing down borrowing costs. With the bill for QT set to keep growing, there is also the question of whether the printing presses should be fired up at all if another crisis hits.

Jack Meaning, of Barclays, said there was an open question over whether

Britain had chosen the right framework for dealing with the costs of QE. He believes the Bank should abandon its current money printing rules and copy the US Federal Reserve.

The Fed also bought government bonds through QE during the financial crisis and pandemic, creating bank reserves to pay for them.

But crucially, it can absorb losses without requiring the US Treasury to immediately fund them. When the Fed pays more interest on reserves than it earns on its bonds, it records a loss. That allows it to reduce or suspend the payments it makes to the US Treasury, smoothing the impact over time.

Meaning says a framework closer to the Fed's could allow the Bank to keep some of the money generated in the

good times on the Bank's balance sheet to absorb future losses. “The real question is who bears that cost and how does it fall over time?” he said.

There is no easy way out of the QE mess. Stopping sales of long-dated gilts could save money in the short term, but it would not make the losses disappear. With taxpayers facing a bill that could run into tens of billions of pounds, simply carrying on regardless is becoming harder to justify.

The Treasury and the Bank of England declined to comment. Both face a bigger question than how quickly to shrink the QE portfolio. The next crisis may demand that the printing presses are fired up again. Before then, the Government must work out a different way to pay for it.

Heathrow warns third runway under threat from youth jobs crisis

By Christopher Jasper

HEATHROW risks a shortage of skilled workers to build its planned third runway because of Britain's youth unemployment crisis, airport bosses have warned.

A lack of young people with the requisite qualifications may leave Heathrow and its contractors unable to find the 108,000 recruits needed for the £49bn scheme when construction begins in the 2030s, the airport said.

Heathrow is aiming to deliver the runway, terminals, car parks, roads and other infrastructure by the mid-2030s, meaning many of the engineers required for the project would need to be employed and start training now.

However, a crisis in the number of young people going into work and training threatens to squeeze the supply of workers, it warned. A Heathrow spokesman said: "The UK is facing significant skills shortages across many of the sectors that will be critical to delivering major infrastructure projects.

"Heathrow expansion has the potential to create thousands of skilled roles but unless we act now, there is a real risk that demand for workers will outstrip supply. Britain cannot build the infrastructure it needs without the people to build it."

Nearly a million people aged 16 to 24 were not in employment, education or training (Neet) in the three months to June, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Almost 100,000 of them fear they will never escape that category, recent polling by YouGov suggests.

Heathrow's warning came as official jobs figures released today were expected to show unemployment remained at 4.9pc in the three months to July, with new figures on youth joblessness also expected.

To address the issue, the airport said it would establish a new body chaired by Lord Blunkett and Robert Halfon,

108,000

Recruits Heathrow expects to need to build its third runway. Many of the engineers need to start training now

the former Tory skills minister, to help push more young people into work.

The so-called Heathrow Infrastructure Skills Council, established with the Trades Union Congress and Make UK, would seek “to ensure that when opportunities created by Heathrow expansion come forward, there is a skilled workforce ready to seize them".

While the Government aims to gain planning permission for the runway by 2029, Heathrow will begin recruiting for some roles before then once a funding mechanism has been agreed with the Civil Aviation Authority.

The airport said the expansion plan – which aims to lift passenger numbers from 84 million a year to more than 140 million – will create jobs in engineering, construction, logistics and the wider supply chain in every British region, including 5,000 apprenticeships. A spokesman said: "At a time when almost one million young people are not in education, employment or training, the council will help identify how these young people who want opportunities now can gain the skills, experience and pathways they need to access rewarding careers."

The body plans to hold meetings with employers, colleagues and training providers on how to secure a “skills pipeline” in conjunction with mayors and local authorities.

Lord Blunkett said that if Labour was serious about tackling youth unemployment, it must continue to progress nationally significant projects like Heathrow “with absolute urgency”.

Hugo Boss chairman quits amid power struggle with retail tycoon Mike Ashley

By Eir Nolsøe

THE CHAIRMAN of Hugo Boss has quit after Mike Ashley ramped up efforts to acquire the German fashion giant.

Stephan Sturm, who has been in the role for just over a year, will step down once a successor has been found, Mr Ashley's Frasers Group said.

Robert Palmer, one of the billionaire tycoon's key lieutenants, will join Hugo Boss's board, where Mr Ashley's son-in-law Michael Murray already holds a seat.

Hugo Boss's board rejected a £1.7bn takeover offer from Frasers in July. This led Frasers to build a stake in the company, resulting in it owning 48pc of Hugo Boss. Mr Ashley is planning to increase his stake beyond the 50pc mark to become a majority owner.

Frasers said Mr Sturm had “mutually agreed” to step down as chairman and leave the board.

It said: “Frasers would like to thank Mr Sturm for the contribution he has made to Hugo Boss as chairman of the supervisory board and intends to work with him in the future.”

Mr Ashley's retail giant began building a stake in the German luxury brand in 2020, crossing the 30pc threshold earlier this year. This automatically triggers a mandatory offer for the remaining business under German market rules. The Sports Direct owner is eyeing a move into high-end retail, where a slowdown in the luxury sector has paved the way for deals.

The ousting of the chairman is another sign that Mr Ashley is tightening his grip on the German fashion maker, where Frasers is the largest

Mike Ashley's Frasers Group owns 48pc of Hugh Boss and plans to become a majority owner

shareholder by a wide margin. Frasers previously said the offer was an opportunity to create “a stronger, more resilient and more successful” company.

Hugo Boss was founded in 1924 and became synonymous with corporate suits and premium men's tailoring in the 1980s. Frasers also owns shares in Mulberry and Burberry and recently bought Harvey Nichols in a pre-pack administration deal for £40m.

Start-up opens London's biggest weapons factory since the Second World War

By Matt Oliver

A BRITISH start-up has opened London's biggest factory since the Second World War as rearmament creates new work for defence manufacturers.

Isembard said the 160,000sq ft site would use cutting-edge tech to make components for customers including Babcock, Anduril and Tekever.

The company specialises in making high-precision metal components for defence equipment including drones, military aircraft and robotic systems.

former telecoms entrepreneur, to help support Western rearmament.

The factory in Southwark is expected to employ around 200 workers by the end of 2027 and will also serve as the company's global headquarters as it expands abroad.

The opening is a boost to Andy Burnham's push to “reindustrialise” Britain at a time when the Government is also seeking to rebuild the defence industrial base. Higher defence spending across Europe is spurring demand for new weapons, ammunition and vehicles as the Nato alliance seeks to deter a war with Russia. Alexander Fitzgerald, Isembard's founder, said: “Manufacturing is the origin of our security, prosperity and sense of purpose as nations.

No one has opened a factory like this in London since the Second World War and that tells you how far our industrial base has been allowed to shrink.

“Bringing production back onshore is the work of the next decade. What we need now are the brightest engineering minds of our generation to join us.”

Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, welcomed the announcement, saying: "This is exactly what reindustri-

'Manufacturing is the origin of our security, prosperity and sense of purpose as nations'

alising Britain is all about. Bringing manufacturing back into the UK, backing our critical industries and creating highly skilled jobs across the country.

“It is my mission to create the conditions that businesses need to invest and expand in the UK, to drive growth and opportunity in every postcode.

“This exciting news from Isembard marks a huge vote of confidence in that ambition.”

Isembard was founded in 2025 by Mr Fitzgerald, an Army reservist and

According to Isembard, small businesses, including family-run machine shops, account for 95pc of component manufacturing but are “rapidly disappearing” with the average owner being 65 years old or above – and two fifths planning to retire within five years.

“This erosion of industrial capacity is colliding with surging demand from aerospace, defence, energy and robotics companies driven by re-shoring and rising spending on critical industries,” the company said.

But using a combination of in-house software and modern factory machines, Mr Fitzgerald has argued that the British company can step in to fill this gap and even produce advanced components more cheaply than its rivals in China.

Isembard runs its own factories but also a franchised network of factories that all use its proprietary MasonOS software.

The company has gone from four sites at the start of last year to 16, including new factories in France and Germany. It is targeting 100 in the UK by the end of 2028, an expansion it says will create 2,200 highly skilled jobs.

'Can't-build' Britain is a global embarrassment

BEN MARLOW

While Chinese engineers erect skyscrapers in weeks, the UK's sclerotic planning regime holds us back

THE NEXT time you find yourself with too much time on your hands, type “Chinese Megaprojects” into YouTube or TikTok. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

Social media is awash with fascinating videos celebrating the pace at which China's hyper-efficient and highly skilled engineers are able to complete huge construction projects.

Some, such as a 90-second timelapse of a 57-storey skyscraper in the city of Changsha, in Hunan, southern China, being built in just 19 days, have millions of views. Sir Pascal Soriot, the AstraZeneca chief executive and an unabashed Sinophile, is among those who now talk about “China Speed”: the sort of rapid execution that has enabled its car industry to go from laggard to clear frontrunner in less than a decade.

Ditto the way Chinese pharmaceutical and biotech industries, once dismissed as little more than providers of cheap, copycat pills, are now at the forefront of life-changing drug discovery.

While China erects apartment buildings, emergency hospitals and bridges in days, Britain – a country whose Victorian forefathers were once the envy of the engineering world

– seems to have almost stopped building things. Virtually every genuinely transformative piece of infrastructure that is proposed either gets stuck in the planning system or is derailed by yet more short-sighted Nimbyism. The few projects that do get off the ground are delayed for years as costs balloon and everyone squabbles about who should foot the bill.

Yet, as an extensive report from the private-sector-led Public Private Partnership Commission, led by Sir John Armitt, argues, it doesn't have to be this way.

The study starts off with a sobering reminder of how the UK hasn't built a reservoir since 1992, but it could have chosen multiple other examples such as the fact that there hasn't been a nuclear plant constructed in three decades, or how we've been debating a third runway at Heathrow airport for a quarter of a century.

At the same time, the roads are falling apart, our prisons are buckling, and Ofwat has warned that population growth and climate change could leave England facing a water deficit of billions of litres a day within the next 25 years.

One of the biggest problems the UK faces is levels of bureaucracy that at times would not have looked out of place in China before it became a market economy at the end of the 1990s. Britain's sclerotic planning and regulatory regime is a curse, sharply pushing up costs and delivery time, which is a massive turn-off to private investors who are going to become increasingly vital as the nation's stretched finances make it harder to fund much-needed projects.

Sir John's findings are genuinely alarming and should shame the bureaucrats that impede progress at every possible turn. The UK's pre-construction phase alone averages 65 months. In China, they managed to build the Danyang-Kunshan bridge – the world's longest at more than

102 miles – in less time. Meanwhile, the average time required to secure development consent for nationally significant projects in Britain doubled between 2009 and 2019, and delivery schedules jumped 65pc between 2012 and 2021.

Comparisons with other countries are enough to make you weep. Analysis by Bradshaw Advisory, a consultancy, of more than 5,000 projects around the world worth more than \$1bn (£740m) found that UK projects take an average of almost 12 and a half years from announcement to completion – the second longest period of any high-to-middle-income country.

Unsurprisingly, this leaves us paying a huge premium: road construction costs are at least 20pc higher than in comparable countries, nuclear power plants cost approximately 50pc more and rail costs twice as much.

Amid such embarrassing delays, the chances of finding the estimated £258bn required to modernise Britain with new reservoirs, prisons and schools between now and the end of the decade seem remote at best.

We already have the lowest levels of investment in the G7. A separate Oxford Economics report found that the UK

had lagged behind every major economy except Greece for investment for the past 25 years.

As the commission points out, it is not as if this critical infrastructure can be funded with additional borrowing when the public finances are already at breaking point. With the tax burden at a post-Second World War high, increased taxes are not a realistic option either. That leaves Britain having to go cap in hand to pension funds and overseas investors. Yet the average allocation for infrastructure among defined contribution schemes is just 3pc in the UK, compared with roughly 14pc among their Australian counterparts.

For the UK to attract the private capital required, there first needs to be a total overhaul of the sclerotic planning and regulatory regime, and for this to occur Whitehall needs to overcome its aversion to risk, it argues.

Heathrow airport's plans for a third runway have been through the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, and despite receiving backing from Gordon Brown's administration, Theresa May's and Sir Keir Starmer's, they are still awaiting planning consent. It is a national disgrace. The commission also points to the damning findings of the Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce, which blamed a culture that favoured process over outcome for making Britain the most expensive place in the world to build a nuclear plant.

To the commission's great credit, it proposes a series of major changes that could break the logjam, including a requirement for all so-called arm's-length bodies such as Natural England to be supportive of economic growth.

The most striking proposal it makes is the creation of an independent institution for infrastructure with “credibility comparable to the Office for Budget Responsibility” that reports to Parliament, not ministers.

Projects deemed to be of critical national importance would be put to a “parliamentary confirmatory vote” once Parliament had endorsed them to reduce the threat of what Sir John calls the “horrible merry-go-round” of legal challenges. The need for more radical thinking has never been more urgent.

Britain has stuck in a low-to-no-growth trap that stretches back to the global financial crisis nearly two decades ago and it is destined to become more severe, not less. Solving it should be a national emergency.

Raising interest rates now would only inflict more pain on the UK's battered economy

KALLUM PICKERING

bring inflation back down once the price shock passes.

Inflation is being fuelled by the Iran war, but at home monetary conditions are tight and spending is soft

LAST week, the mistake-prone European Central Bank (ECB) raised its deposit rate for the second time this year, to 2.5pc.

While inflation in the eurozone has ticked up to 3.3pc on renewed energy market disruptions, the ECB's response risks stalling anaemic growth momentum, which by itself would

Across the Atlantic, the American economy continues to power on, as consumers and businesses ride high on the back of a stock market boom and fiscal largesse. US inflation, at 3.4pc, is barely higher than the eurozone's, but the Federal Reserve should tighten. With demand growth racing ahead, the risk of a lasting inflation echo – which will not remedy itself – looms large. Markets see a nine-in-10 chance that the Fed follows the ECB and raises the funds rate to a 3.75-4pc range tomorrow.

Here at home, where inflation was 2.9pc in July, money markets see the Bank of England holding at this Thursday's meeting before lifting rates in November. Over the next year, rate-betters bet that the Bank will raise rates four times. By the end of this

week, Andrew Bailey, the Governor, may be the last major central banker left standing. He should save his legs and find a seat.

There is an enticing logic to central banks moving in convoy - especially when near-term inflation rates are likely to be simultaneously driven above 2pc targets by surging energy prices. But domestic conditions still matter more.

UK demand does not look overheated. This is not like 2022, when excessive fiscal and monetary easing fuelled the worst inflation crisis for 40 years. Note that, while the Russia-Ukraine gas shock aggravated the inflation problem, it was not the major driver.

Inflation peaked at around 1lpc; but the Bank, in its February 2022 projection just three weeks before the war, was already forecasting inflation to rise to about 7pc.

Through the pandemic, annual M4 money supply growth hit 13pc, while nominal GDP growth reached 14pc in the first quarter of 2022 when Russia invaded. In the first half of this year, money growth was 4.6pc as nominal GDP grew at 4.2pc.

Britain's transition from a high to low-pressure economy over the past four years is most visible in labour markets. Vacancies have plunged from 1.3 million in mid-2022 to about 700,000 in the three months to July, while private sector regular pay growth has roughly halved to 2.8pc.

Hawkish commentators emphasise that inflation expectations are still too high. They are. But that is only half the story. When spending momentum is soft and wage bargaining power is

weak, such expectations are unlikely to become self-fulfilling.

Meanwhile, financial and monetary conditions already look tight. Gilt yields, which influence borrowing rates across the economy, have risen sharply on inflation worries.

In September 2022, the Bank raised the rate by 0.5 percentage points to 2.25pc, while the 10-year gilt yield was 3.4pc. Today, the Bank Rate is 3.75pc while the 10-year rate is 5.4pc, its highest since summer 2007.

Adjusted for actual and expected inflation, which are far lower today than in 2022 despite recent rises, both real and nominal interest rates are nevertheless higher.

This explains the softness in the mortgage and housing markets, elevated household savings, and stagnant capital markets.

The instinct to act is shaped by the lessons of 2022. But these lessons are routinely mis-stated. Better guides (although far from perfect) would be 2008 and 2011, when Brent oil prices surged above \$120 a barrel, against about \$108 today, and briefly pushed headline inflation above 5pc.

The Bank cut rates through the 2008 energy shock to lean against the unfolding financial crisis, and simply looked through the 2011 shock, even with the Bank Rate at 0.5pc

Then, as is likely now, second-round effects were contained by underlying domestic weakness. Bailey noted at the Jackson Hole symposium last month: "We're seeing quite subdued second-round effects".

Rate-setters Huw Pill, Megan Greene, and Catherine Mann voted for a 0.25 percentage point increase in the Bank Rate to 4pc in July – mostly on a risk-management basis. This is not unreasonable. But a quarter point buys little insurance. Going much further would limit any rise in inflation, but at the cost of real output and jobs.

UK inflation will rise over the winter on the back of higher energy prices – and rates north of 4pc may be realistic if energy markets do not cool soon. But rate rises do not produce barrels of oil or reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

This is about trade-offs. The cost of the energy shock has to be accounted for somewhere: higher prices or output losses.

As the lesser evil, the Bank should tolerate a temporary inflation overshoot to avoid further injuring a battered and bruised economy.

Diesel at four-year high after missile strikes target Saudi pipeline

By Melissa Lawford and Eir Nolsøe

DIESEL prices have surged to a four-year high as missile strikes on Saudi Arabia rock global energy markets.

Both petrol and diesel pump prices hit their highest rates since August 2022, at the height of the cost of living crisis sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Experts warned that diesel may be on track to hit record highs as oil prices climbed 3pc to pass \$108 per barrel. Oil prices climbed after strikes on a Saudi oil pipeline on Saturday threatened to cut off 4pc of global oil supplies.

Fuel supplies have already been hit by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as Iran makes the waterway impassable to oil and gas shipping in response to attacks by the US and Israel. Talks between Iran and other Gulf nations over the control of the Strait were delayed yesterday amid clashes between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi rebels.

The cost of diesel hit 191.68p per litre yesterday, surpassing the previous Iran war high of 191.54p set on April 15.

It takes the cost of filling up a typical family diesel car to more than £105, according to new figures from the RAC. Diesel pump prices have now surged by 35pc since the war in Iran began at the end of February.

Meanwhile, petrol pump prices climbed to 169.68p, a new high since the start of the war. Petrol has surged by 29pc since the conflict began, with the cost of filling up a family petrol car hitting £93. Simon Williams, at the RAC, said: "Both fuels are now at prices last seen in early August 2022, just a few months after the start of the Ukraine War, following price rises of 8p a litre since the start of September.

“And with oil well over \$100 a barrel, there’s no end in sight to high pump prices and the pain it brings to drivers who depend on their vehicles.

“In fact, the average price of diesel may be on the way to overtaking the record high of 199.05p set on June 25 2022.”

The figures come as Essar Group, the Indian conglomerate, confirmed that it had agreed to buy 118 petrol stations across Britain.

Essar said it would buy SGN Retail, one of the UK's largest independent petrol station owners – raising the number of forecourts it has across the UK to 235. The deal comes as the petrol station market undergoes consolidation and regulators scrutinise fuel prices. Arvan Ruia, the chief executive of EET Retail, Essar's fuel retail arm, sought to reassure consumers that the deal would delivery “competitive prices at the pump for UK motorists”.

Essar Group was founded by Indian billionaire brothers Ravi and Shashi Ruia in 1969 and also owns the Stanlow oil refinery in Cheshire.

Gordon Balmer, of the Petrol Retailers Association, said the sector has seen increasing consolidation amid rising taxes and theft.

He said: “We’re seeing quite a number of sort of smaller family-run businesses selling to bigger groups. There’s been quite a lot of consolidation in the independent sector.”

Zuber Issa agreed to buy 85 forecourts from the collapsed Prax Group as part of moves to build a new fuel empire. The acquisition took his EG On The Move business, which was launched three years ago, to 285 forecourts.

The sites will continue to be operated by independent commission managers, with EG On The Move pledging further investment in food-to-go, electric vehicle (EV) charging, convenience retail and customer facilities.

The Issa brothers – Zuber Issa and his brother Mohsin Issa – built up their previous business, EG Group, into one of Europe's largest petrol station operators after buying a single garage in Bury, Greater Manchester, in 2001.

The brothers bought Asda in 2020 but have since split their business interests, with Zuber Issa selling his stake in the supermarket in 2024. Zuber Issa, 54, set up EG On The Move in 2023, and it has since acquired EG Group's UK business, as well as 98 forecourts from Applegreen.

Prax Group, founded by Sanjeev Kumar Soosaipillai and his wife Arani Soosaipillai, unravelled last year under mounting financial pressure, which pushed several key companies into administration and triggered one of the biggest failures in the UK fuel supply chain in recent years.

Administrators have since alleged widespread financial irregularities, which Mr Soosaipillai disputes.

The company owned the Lindsey oil refinery and at one point supplied about a tenth of Britain's fuel and operated forecourts under the TotalEnergies and Harvest Energy brands.

Stop your children from spoiling retirement

While it can be nice to have adult offspring return to the family home, it does not come cheap and can put a strain on your day-to-day finances, as well as retirement plans

Adult offspring returning home risks pushing up bills or disrupting pension planning. By Rachel Lacey

MANY parents are thrilled to welcome their adult children back home once they have graduated from university or returned from a gap year, but these so-called “boomerang” returnees don’t come cheap.

Having just one adult child return home can increase your household costs by £3,000 or more a year, according to calculations from AJ Bell. Meanwhile, around 3.8 million people aged 20-34 are living with their parents, equating to almost 30pc of people in the age bracket.

We've broken down the costs of sheltering a boomerang child and enlisted the help of financial advisers on the best ways to approach it.

Food: Each person spends £47.19 a week on food, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). That's £2,454 a year.

Water bills: If you are on a water meter, each person tends to use an average of 145 litres a day. Depending on your water company, that could add £200 to your annual bill.

Broadband: This will depend on the additional pressure your boomerang puts on the Wi-Fi. Using Ofcom's figures, upgrading from the second fastest to the fastest broadband would mean moving from £37 a month to £58 a month – so if the extra person at home forces you to upgrade, it could cost £252 a year.

Energy: Your gas and electricity bill is more heavily affected by the size of your property than the number of people living in it. But you will invariably be putting more washing on and they will be running their own appliances too. AJ Bell estimates it could add around £100 a year to your bills.

That brings the total cost of having a child move back home to £3,006 a year, without even considering their “boomerang bonus” – all those extra little benefits they will get when they move back home. That could include anything from upgrading streaming services to cover more devices, adding them to your car insurance or treating them when you go shopping.

Just how much it costs will depend on whether or not they are working. If they are not, it could put an even bigger drain on your finances.

Sarah Coles, of AJ Bell, says: "As someone whose son has just returned to his childhood bedroom from a year in Australia, I'm experiencing the financial pain of being hit with a boomerang. It's a pleasure to have him back, but I'm already wincing at the extra cost of food and the thought of

how much larger the household bills will be. Some are boomerangs, who moved out to study or work and then came home, and some are barnacles, who never moved out."

How boomerangs can hurt your future plans Welcoming home boomerang children doesn't just affect your short-term finances. Coles warns that it could have much bigger implications for your retirement.

"The empty nest period before retirement is often a time when parents will have more money left at the end of the month to focus on their own financial needs," she says.

“It’s common to use this as an opportunity to build their pension pot as much as possible. If the boomerang kids are still at home, their empty nest period may not come until retirement, in which case they could end up retiring with a much smaller pension pot than they intended.”

Just how much of an impact adult children have will, naturally, depends on how long the arrangement lasts. While many parents will hope it is just short-term, that is often not the case. Numerous factors from rising housing costs to a lack of meaningful employment opportunities mean it could drag on. Sarah Swinford, a financial adviser at Shackleton, says a growing number of clients have adult children well into their 30s still living at home. “The effect on parents can be substantial,” she says.

“Many of my clients have found that supporting adult children has reduced their ability to enjoy retirement in the way they had anticipated. Increased household expenses, including food, utilities and other living costs, often mean less discretionary income available for holidays, leisure activities and other retirement goals.”

Coles says that when the arrangement drags on, it can affect more practical decisions too: “Some people will have downsizing in their plans, whether it’s to pay the mortgage off or to support their retirement income. If their offspring don’t move

out for years, they could end up having to put plans on hold."

How to make the

arrangement work Lots of parents will want to help their children out, but as Henrietta Grimston, of wealth manager Saltus, points out, there need to be frank conversations.

“Parents should start with an honest conversation about expectations and how long their child expects to stay,” she says. “In practice, that might mean charging rent or agreeing a realistic monthly contribution towards household bills. The aim is not to make family life transactional, but to make the arrangement clear, fair and sustainable.”

There are no right or wrong answers here. Some parents charge a modest rent to help cover the increased costs of food, utilities, and day to day living, while others charge nothing at all. They can even benefit from the presence of a returnee child as they can offer reliable house and pet-sitting services at a time when many parents may be looking to travel more because of reduced working hours, or offer the ability to provide taxi services.

Coles adds: “Some will start with a rent-free arrangement while they are looking for work. Once they are employed, they could pay a nominal rent, based on what they can afford. One option is to gradually increase this closer to market rent, if they’re not showing any enthusiasm for moving out and there’s no specific reason why they need to stay.”

Ultimately, the right decision will depend on your own circumstances, the specific needs of your children and your personal preferences.

"The key message I often share with clients is that there is a difference between helping and rescuing," says Swinford. "While supporting children through temporary financial difficulties can be entirely appropriate, parents should first ensure that their own retirement income, emergency savings and long-term care needs are adequately provided for."

Flights are ‘full, full, full’, says Etihad boss

Etihad Airways' passenger-carrying capacity has increased since last year, as Gulf carriers rebound from disruption caused by the Iran war.

Available seat kilometres – the standard measure of passenger-carrying capacity – was 15pc to 17pc higher than a year ago last month.

“Flights are full, full, full,” Antonoaldo Neves, its chief executive, told Reuters. He said that load factor, which measures how well an airline is filling available seats, was at 92pc in August, while it was targeting 87pc-plus for the rest of the year.

Demand for dresses buoys sales at Jigsaw

Jigsaw has revealed a continued recovery in sales as strong demand for dresses helped the clothing retailer shrug off pressures on the high street.

Tikki Godley, the managing director, said positive sales momentum in recent months was further evidence that the company's “turnaround is working”. The retailer added that sales increased by 18pc for the six months to July, compared with a year earlier.

It said this was buoyed by “substantial growth” in key categories such as dresses, which recorded a 43pc surge for the spring/summer season.

Brave Bison tables fourth offer for System1

Brave Bison, the Rupert Murdoch-backed digital marketing agency, has tabled a fourth takeover approach for London-listed rival Systeml.

The company, which is also backed by billionaire and former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Ashcroft, has put forward a proposal worth 360p a share, valuing System1 at £47.5m.

It marks an 82pc premium on Systeml's 198p share price on Feb 27, before Brave Bison bought a 28pc stake in the company.

Brave Bison's last approach was worth around £43m but was rejected.

Heavy vehicle industry attracts more than £1bn

More than £1bn has been committed to Britain's van, truck and bus manufacturing industry and supply chains over the past five years, according to a new study.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said the figure showed the growing role of the sector in the global transition to zero-emission transport. The SMMT said more than 30 different models and conversions have been built or planned for production in recent years, including low-emission vehicles and thousands of advanced components.

WIDESPREAD ABUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT.

442,051 CLAIMS DISALLOWED.

In the report of the Ministry of Labour for 1925, which was issued yesterday, it is revealed that during the year no fewer than 603,061 claims to unemployment benefit were referred to the Chief Insurance Officer, 442,051 of them being disallowed. Claimants to the number of 140,603 were found to be not genuinely seeking work, and 44,300 more had refused suitable work.

Referring to young people who claim benefit, the report says that “there was evidence to some extent of either a weakened desire for employment or a holding out for work at a particular wage, or of a particular type.”

Other passages in the report show that the debt of the unemployment fund rose during the year from £5,410,000 to £7,595,000.

A total of 1,279,292 vacancies were filled through the agency of the Labour Exchanges, being 135,550 more than the previous year.

being 135,550 more than the previous year. The demand for resident domestic servants continued to exceed the supply, but the reluctance of young women to take such employment is gradually breaking down.

EFFECT ON YOUNG PEOPLE.

In a chapter on unemployment insurance, the report states that claims for benefit referred to the chief insurance officer during the 12 months totalled 603,061. No fewer than 442,061 were disallowed, 140,603 on the ground that the applicants were “not genuinely seeking work.” Other reasons for refusal were: Misconduct, 80,728; voluntary leaving, 113,826; refused suitable employment, 44,300; trade dispute, 20,296. The Courts of Referees disallowed 90,026 out of 144,026 cases referred, and the umpire 3,089 out of 4,683. Of 620,500 cases investigated by local offices, 38,900 were refused benefit. During the year 2,034 persons were prosecuted, of whom 1,273 were fined, 496 imprisoned, 146 admonished, and 119 dismissed. The most prevalent type of fraud continued to be that of persons claiming unemployment benefit when in employment, nearly 50 per cent of the cases in 1925 falling within this category. About 40 per cent related to false representations made for the purpose of obtaining benefit in respect to dependants, e.g., false representations that the claimant’s wife was not in regular wage-earning employment, that the claimant’s wife or children were being maintained by him. The remaining 10 per cent included, inter alia, false representations that the claimant was not in receipt of benefit under the National Health Insurance Acts or that he was not in receipt of a pension under the Old Age Pensions Acts, “Cases of young men and women were discovered in which considerable amounts of benefit had been drawn, and there was evidence of slackness in seeking work. It was not infrequently found that the rate of wages last received approximated closely to the rate of benefit, and there was some evidence of either a weakened desire for employment or a holding out for work at a particular wage or type.”

At the end of December 1925, the number on the live registers of the Employment Exchanges was 1,102,400, compared with 1,273,885 at a similar date in 1924, 1,285,623 in 1923, and 1,511,377 in 1922. The total number of registrations in Great Britain in 1925, including re-registrations of the same person, was 13,728,238, compared with 11,262,887 in 1924, 8,774,644 in 1923, and 8,819,523 in 1922.

During 1925 the average of the monthly percentages of persons unemployed in Great Britain and Northern Ireland was 11.3 per cent, as compared with 10.3 in 1924. This increase was due mainly to severe depression in the coal-mining industry.

The report is based on the records of employment exchanges, industrial courts, and many other branches of departmental activity.

To some extent, the report states, the increased volume of work at the exchanges merely reflects the increased activity in trade and industry since the worst days of 1922, but substantially also it represents a continuous improvement in the methods of the department and a growing appreciation of the part that the exchanges can play in industry when properly supported.

The demand for resident domestic servants still exceeds the supply, but the reluctance of young women to take such employment appears to be gradually breaking down, adds the report. The exchanges improved their arrangements for bringing young women from distant industrial centres, where employment was scarce, into residential centres, particularly London.

In the areas for which the department is responsible, there are 150 juvenile advisory committees, 21 of them in London; 64,778 London boys and girls were placed in employment during the year, as compared with 55,461 in 1924. Roughly 25 per cent of those leaving the elementary schools in the London County Council area are found employment through the juvenile departments of the employment exchanges. In Great Britain as a whole vacancies were found, for 126,521 boys and 110,286 girls, the number of vacancies notified during the year having increased from 250,487 to 292,589. During 1925, 2,400 boys left this country for overseas under approved schemes of migration, compared with 1,800 in 1924. The average monthly numbers of boys and girls registered for employment, 34,161 and 28,976, indicated an improvement in demand for juvenile labour.

ADMISSION OF ALIENS.

The number of firms on the King's Roll is given as approximately 28,000, employing 370,000 disabled men. At the end of the year there were 31,291 disabled ex-Service men registered as unemployed, compared with 37,599 the previous.

Permits to land in this country for definite employment were sought by 6,453 aliens. The report explains that permits for theatrical artists are usually for a limited period, consideration being also given to the fact that similar opportunities are afforded British subjects in foreign countries. “In the case of hotel and restaurant employees, permits were issued in most cases on condition that a British youth was sent abroad in exchange for the alien, in order that he could obtain facilities for learning foreign languages and for gaining experience in the hotel business on the Continent. A limited number of permits has been granted to aliens to assist in setting up new industries, e.g., beet sugar. The permits were for limited periods on condition that the aliens were employed to train British subjects.”

To make 3NT by force, South must lead the ♦Q (or ♦J) on the first round of diamonds. If West takes the ♦K, he is endplayed. If he ducks with the ♦7 or ♦5, the ♦J (or ♦Q) endplays him anew. He can lose the fifth diamond with the ♦2, but then South gets his ninth trick from spades.

Rather than give South access to dummy, West got out with the ◆5 to the ◆6. Travis laid down the ◆J, collecting the ◆10. That was the right idea by West, unblocking his high diamond, but didn't help at this stage. Lauren threw him in with the ◆3 to his ◆7, and made the last five tricks on board. Eleven tricks made.

How West wished he'd kept the ◆2. Suppose he drops the ◆5 under the ◆A, and ducks the ◆Q with the ◆7. He scores the ◆K and the ◆10, and gets out with the ◆2. East makes three spades for one down.

Jeremy Thomas

Film producer behind The Last Emperor and Sexy Beast who always backed his directors to the hilt

Thomas at the 1988 Academy Awards, with the Best Picture Oscar for The Last Emperor: the film won all nine categories for which it was nominated

JEREMY THOMAS, who has died aged 77, was an independent British film producer whose cosmopolitan tastes, keen instincts and vast industry nous enabled prominent world-cinema directors to make some of the most demanding features of their entire careers. He won a Best Picture Oscar for Bernardo Bertolucci's China-shot The Last Emperor (1987), a project that proved as much a logistical feat as an artistic vision; he also steadied David Cronenberg during the controversies around Crash (1996) and backed Jonathan Glazer's debut feature Sexy Beast (2000).

From the off, Thomas relished a challenge. His Recorded Picture Company ventured into production with Mad Dog Morgan (1976), a latter-day Western shot in the Outback with the hard-drinking Dennis Hopper in the lead. "A lot of the people who worked on the film were complete amateurs," Thomas recalled. "We ended up getting a \$500,000 contract for a film that cost \$400,000. It was a fantastic deal, but then we didn't get the money so it was poetic. But it was very good learning."

Thomas subsequently fell in with equally questing filmmakers. He enjoyed early festival success with Jerzy Skolimowski's The Shout (1978), which won the Cannes Grand Prix, while developing a rewarding creative partnership with Nic Roeg, for whom he produced Bad Timing (1980), Eureka (1983) and Insignificance (1985): "I had a 10-year lesson from him about everything," Thomas said, insisting that Roeg stood among the greatest directors he had worked with.

There were other candidates. While promoting The Shout, Thomas had been introduced to the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, whose In the Realm of the Senses (1976) had been a global sensation. Neither could speak the other's language, but they bonded over cinema, and the result was Thomas's first commercial hit, the PoW-camp drama Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983), shot on the Polynesian island of Rarotonga, with musicians Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie in the leads. After these cult

After these cult successes, The Last Emperor proved colossal:

arguably the 20th century's last true movie epic, it required 19,000 extras, a \$25m budget and complex behind-the-scenes negotiation. Exploiting a brief window in East-West relations, Bertolucci's magnum opus became the first Western production shot in China since 1949, and the first feature shot inside the Forbidden City. Elizabeth II, then on a state visit to Beijing, was denied entry to the Forbidden City while Bertolucci was shooting the coronation sequence.

Critics were understandably bowled over by the film's scale – Roger Ebert deemed

Bertolucci's location work "astonishing" – as were awards voters: at the Oscars, the film won all nine categories in which it had been nominated. For Thomas, it was both a high-water mark and, he confessed, "a difficult film to emulate"; his subsequent Bertolucci projects – the Tangiers-shot Paul Bowles adaptation The Sheltering Sky (1990) and the spiritual drama Little Buddha (1993) – struggled to emerge from their predecessor's shadow. Yet Thomas's talent

portfolio kept expanding. To the sensual Bertolucci, he added the cerebral David Cronenberg, resulting first in the bugged-out, free-associating William Burroughs adaptation Naked Lunch (1991), then Crash, the Canadian director's polarising take on JG Ballard's tale of jaded fetishists who engineer traffic collisions in a bid to feel something. This, too, was a challenge: Thomas described the source as “one of those books you have to look away from as you are reading it”.

provocative, having to swerve press campaigns and localised censorship restriction to emerge as a minor hit. Yet Crash exemplified Thomas's policy of backing directors to the hilt: "All the choices I still defend as being from taste, not market-driven... When you look at a painting by an artist you normally recognise their style of painting. When you make film you should be somewhat able to recognise the filmmaker as well."

Jeremy Jack Thomas was born in Ealing on July 26 1949, one of two children of the director Ralph Thomas and wife Joy. He claimed to have been “born with a silver reel in my mouth”: his father’s Doctor in the House (1954) launched a series that provided the British film industry with its post-war backbone, while his uncle Gerald directed all 30 Carry On movies. The young Jeremy spent his holidays in studios or out on location; from the age of 10, he was set on making films.

On leaving school, he took a job in film processing before being promoted to the cutting rooms. His first assistant-editor gig was a brush with the old Hollywood: the trippy folk horror Tam Lin (1970), directed by Roddy McDowall and starring Ava Gardner. Subsequently, he worked on Ken Loach's Family Life (1971), the landmark Jamaican reggae film The Harder They Come (1972) and the Great Depression collage Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? (1975),

whose French-Australian director Philippe Mora then enlisted Thomas to produce Mad Dog Morgan.

Drolly detached though it was, Cronenberg's film proved no less

As the millennium loomed, Thomas bolstered his internationalist credentials. Upon founding the sales agent Hanway Films in 1998, one of his first projects was the Bhutanese sleeper hit The Cup (1999), written and directed by Khyentse Norbu, about two young monks attempting to source a television on which to watch the World Cup final; it was, said Thomas, “a very happy story for everybody involved”.

Back at home, Thomas took a chance on the emergent ad maven Jonathan Glazer; the result, the electrifying Sexy Beast, proved the standout title of the British gangster cycle, as visually striking as it was profane. The producer rejoined Bertolucci for the Paris '68 drama The Dreamers (2003), then ventured into the American heartlands with Terry Gilliam's Tideland (2005) – which passed off British Columbia as a flyblown Texas – and Richard Linklater's Fast Food Nation (2006).

Increasingly, Thomas's credits alternated established names with fresh talent. He reteamed with Cronenberg for A Dangerous Method (2011) and with Skolimowski for Essential Killing (2010) and the Oscar-nominated EO (2022). Yet he also backed emergent visionaries, ranging from the agitated Japanese genre specialist Takeshi Miike (I3 Assassins, 2010; First Love, 2019) to the elegant Italian fabulist Matteo Garrone (Tale of Tales, 2015; Pinocchio, 2019).

He worked until the end: his Werner Herzog drama *Bucking Fastard* (2026) premiered in Venice a week before his death, while his latest Miike production, *Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo* (2026), premiered in Toronto this week. He even tried directing himself: *All the Little Animals* (1998), adapted by his wife Eski from Walker Hamilton's novel, concerned a troubled young man (Christian Bale) who finds solace in nature. Thomas claimed it was his only production to go over budget: "I was arguing with myself, so I always won either way."

He received Bafta's Michael Balcon award in 1991, served as Chairman of the British Film Institute between 1992 and 1997, and was made a BFI Fellow in 1998; in 2006, he received the European Film Award for Outstanding Achievement in World Cinema; and he was appointed CBE in 2009 for services to film. He also inspired the affectionate tribute The Storms of Jeremy Thomas (2021), in which the director Mark Cousins joined the producer on his annual road trip to Cannes in his Alfa Romeo.

In 2017, Thomas told Cineaste: “I never merely make a film because I think it’s going to hit the market. I’m making it because I like the people and the subject involved and I think it’s going to hit the market, but it’s not made for the market – it’s made for a passion... I still wake up every day thinking about the movies.”

He was twice married. His first marriage to Claudia Fröhlich ended in divorce; his second was to Eski, née Vivien Coughman, who died in 2023. He is survived by Jack and Joshua, his two sons by Eski, and by Jessica, his daughter by Fröhlich.

Squadron Leader Graham Laurie

Personal pilot to Prince Charles who flew Princess Diana's body back to England on the day she died

Laurie with the future King in 2000; left, Princess Diana's coffin is carried off a plane of the Royal Squadron by RAF servicemen, 1997

QUADRON LEADER GRAHAM

SLAURIE, who has died aged 80, was the personal pilot to Prince Charles, then the Prince of Wales, over a period of 19 years when they flew together on more than 700 occasions. Most notably, he was the pilot of the aircraft that brought Princess Diana's body back to England after her death in 1997.

On Sunday August 31 1997, Laurie was scheduled to pick up Prince Charles and Prince Harry from Aberdeen and fly them to RAF Lyneham in a British Aerospace BAe 146 aircraft of the Queen's Flight. Following the news that Princess Diana had died in a car crash in Paris overnight, Prince Charles decided to fly to Paris and bring her body back to London. Laurie was woken by his son, who had come in from a party in the early hours of the morning, with the news that was breaking from Paris.

In a 2017 interview for the RAF Benevolent Fund, he recalled that he was scheduled to depart for Aberdeen, where the Royal family were in residence at Balmoral, at 10.30am, and at 10.00am, “we were told we might possibly be bringing Diana's body back that evening”.

This came as a surprise to Laurie, “as there was an Operation Order in place stating that in the event a Royal family member died overseas, the coffin would not be returned to the UK until the fourth day”.

En route to Aberdeen from Northolt to collect the Prince, Laurie landed at RAF Wittering to pick up Diana's sisters. Leaving Aberdeen for Paris-Villacoublay airport later in the day, he was alerted to the plans for his return to Northolt that evening.

What he didn't know until landing in Paris, he recalled, "was that immediately after my phone call with Northolt Operations, the Ministry of Defence had announced to the world press that Diana's coffin would arrive at 7.00pm". It was then that he realised the urgency of the operation.

He landed at RAF Northolt nine minutes before seven and taxied to the aircraft apron, where, with press and TV cameras watching their every move, airmen of the RAF's Queen's Colour Squadron were waiting to act as pall bearers and form a guard of honour. Some 20 minutes later, he took off to return Prince Charles to Aberdeen to join the Royal family, who were in residence at Balmoral.

"At Aberdeen, much to my surprise, Prince Charles came up to the flight deck, as usual, to say goodbye. Afterwards, my crew informed me that the Prince and I spoke for nearly five minutes, but I honestly have no

recollection of what was said." Laurie returned to Northolt the following day. After Diana's funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 6, Laurie flew Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother back to Aberdeen. He later commented that "having flown Princess Diana over 200 times in the past, [he] was honoured to fly her on her final flight home."

Graham Harvey Laurie was born in Mitcham, Surrey, on December 15 1945, and educated at Rutlish School, New Malden. He joined the RAF in 1964 and trained as a pilot.

After completing his training, he flew the twin-engine Andover tactical transport aircraft with 46 Squadron. This versatile aircraft was to dominate most of his early flying years. During his time on 46 Squadron he honed his piloting skills in support of the Parachute Regiment and Special Forces as well as undertaking medical evacuations and more routine general communication tasks.

He spent two and a half years serving on the Sultan of Brunei's VIP flight, flying the Hawker Siddeley 748, from which the Andover was spawned, before joining 32 Squadron at RAF Northolt to fly the VIP-configured Andover. He became an examiner, which involved close contact with the Queen's Flight.

In 1981 he was chosen to be the personal pilot to the then-Prince of Wales, and he joined the Queen's Flight at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire. Many of the overseas flights he made were to remote regions and routes which were not familiar to RAF crews, so it was essential to conduct reconnaissance and proving flights in advance. He took Prince Charles to Papua New Guinea, and the Princess Royal to the Darfur region of Sudan. For the latter, sparse maps and a photograph taken many years earlier were all that was available.

The Andover had a limited range of about 1,000 miles, so the four-jet engine BAe 146, with its range of 1,500 miles, was added to the fleet.

In addition to his duties as personal pilot to the Prince of Wales, Laurie flew all members of the Royal family and several prime ministers. On numerous occasions he occupied the second pilot's seat when Prince

Philip, who was recognised as a skilled pilot, flew the aircraft.

In June 1994, the Prince of Wales, with Laurie sitting beside him, flew to the Scottish island of Islay. The aircraft suffered slight damage when it ran off the end of the runway. At the subsequent inquiry, Laurie was found negligent in not taking control of the aircraft in the final landing phase. Despite the findings, he continued with his Royal Flight duties.

In 1995, when the Queen's Flight was disbanded, and royal duties passed to 32 Squadron at RAF Northolt, the personnel transferred to the new organisation re-titled 32 (Royal) Squadron. The end of an era was marked by visits to RAF Benson by all the members of the Royal family, where they met personnel from the Flight.

Laurie was due to retire in 2000. Before doing so, he was keen to fly the Queen Mother on her 100th birthday so he turned down the opportunity to fly to the US on a training sortie. He flew the Queen Mother to Wick for her annual visit to her home at the Castle of Mey, and her return a few weeks later. His final flight was a five-day tour with Prince Charles to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.

During his service with the Queen's Flight, Laurie flew more than 2,000 royal flights, 735 as personal pilot to Prince Charles. By the time he retired he had accumulated 13,500 hours' flying time. He was appointed MVO.

In retirement he became president of the Queen's Flight Association.

Laurie was a top-flight football referee before becoming an assessor and examiner in Buckinghamshire. He was also a passionate cricketer and long-time member of Middlesex County Cricket Club.

He was in great demand as a speaker relating his experiences with the Queen's Flight, and with these raised £25,000 for the RAF Benevolent Fund. He and his wife Jo were made ambassadors of the Fund.

He and Jo, a former flight lieutenant in the RAF, were staunch supporters of Great Missenden including the Arts Society and work in memory of Roald Dahl. A retired air vice-marshall who knew Laurie commented that he was a “much-respected pilot among his peers” and always professional, dependable and tactful.

Graham Laurie married Jo in 1968; she and their son and daughter survive him.

Princess Astrid of Norway Sister of King Harald V who died two days after his funeral

PRINCESS ASTRID OF NORWAY, who has died

I aged 94, was the second daughter of King Olaf V of Norway and older sister of the late King Harald V; rather like Britain's Princess Anne she played an important if often under-appreciated role in keeping the royal show on the road.

Princess Astrid Maud Ingeborg was born on February 12 1932 at Villa Solbakken, a royal residence in Oslo, to the then-Crown Prince Olav and Princess Martha of Sweden, whom he had married in 1929. Astrid was a great-granddaughter of King Edward VII, making her a second cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. At the time of her birth she was 18th in line to the British throne.

Astrid spent her early years with her parents, older sister Ragnhild and brother Harald on the royal estate of Skaugum, south-west of Oslo, from which they had to flee when Germany invaded Norway in April 1940.

While Olav spent the war years in England with his father, King Haakon VII, serving as a military leader and adviser to the Norwegian government-in-exile, Martha and her children moved to neutral Sweden before finding refuge in the United States, where they remained until the end of the war.

Princess Astrid read PPE at Oxford before being thrust into public life when her mother died of cancer in 1954 aged 53 and her grandfather, King Haakon, was left in a wheelchair after an accident in 1955.

Her father, Olav, served as regent until succeeding to the throne on Haakon's death in 1957, and as he never remarried and as Astrid's older sister, Ragnhild, had moved to Brazil after marrying her bodyguard Erling Lorentzen in 1953, Astrid took over the duties of First Lady, accompanying her father during official functions, receptions and state visits.

In the late 1950s, she fell in love with Johan Ferner, the son of the owner of a department store in Oslo, and an Olympic medallist who had won silver in sailing at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.

They wanted to marry, but as Ferner was a commoner, they were opposed by conservative elements in the Norwegian establishment. And the fact that he was also a divorcé brought opposition from the Church. Astrid was said to

With her ever-present chihuahua Wilma in 2023

have threatened to go on hunger strike and renounce her royal duties unless her father consented to their marriage. He eventually did so and she and Ferner married in 1961, although King Olav had to ask the retired Bishop of Nidaros to officiate at the wedding, as the Bishop of Oslo had refused to do so.

Astrid had to forfeit her “Royal Highness” title, her annual allowance and her place in the Norwegian line of succession, and was afterwards styled “Princess Astrid, Mrs Ferner”. Yet she continued to accompany her father, and brother, Crown Prince Harald, at official events and state visits until 1968, when Harald married Sonja Haraldsen, who assumed most of the “First Lady” responsibilities.

Princess Astrid continued to represent the royal family at official functions and participated in all major events of the Royal Court. She chaired the board of the Crown Princess Martha Memorial Fund, a charitable trust that provides financial support to social and humanitarian projects, and served as a patron of charities, focusing on women and on young people with dyslexia, from which she herself suffered.

In 2002, the Norwegian government awarded her an honorary pension for her long service to the Crown.

Princess Astrid remained close to King Harald and on August 27 this year, one day before his death, she was photographed leaving the National Hospital in Oslo after spending several hours at his bedside. She made her last public appearance at his state funeral on September 9 and died just two days later.

Princess Astrid's husband, Johan Ferner, died in 2015 and she is survived by their three sons and two daughters.

70-UP: THE FINAL CHAPTER ITV1, 9pm

When Granada Television broadcast Seven Up! in 1964 it was supposed to be a one-off

There is something unspeakably poignant about witnessing the totality of a life. In 1964, Granada Television brought together a group of seven-year-olds from different backgrounds for a programme exploring class. It was intended to be a one-off. Yet by the time the cohort turned 14, the late director Michael Apted had the idea to continue following the children throughout their adult lives, checking in every seven years. Six decades later, the

Nature Notes

Blue spaces boost mental health

Scottish rivers, lochs, and coastlines deliver health benefits worth up to £123m a year in the Forth region alone, research has found.

The Worth of Water report, published by Greenspace Scotland, of a study by the University of Aberdeen and Public Health Scotland, found about 1.1 million adults spent an estimated 105 million hours at rivers, lochs, beaches, coastlines and other blue spaces in Scotland in the past year.

It estimated that the annual health benefits of these visits was worth £105.2m from exposure to nature, £123.3m from physical activity, and £39.6m from aquatic activities. It also found 93 per cent of visitors said blue spaces lifted their mood.

Lorraine Tulloch, chief executive of Greenspace Scotland, said: “This gives us hard evidence of something many people feel instinctively, that time beside water can make a meaningful difference to our health and wellbeing.”

Sujiko® MODERATE NO 5482

To play Sujiko, enter the numbers 1 to 9 in the spaces so that the total in each circle is equal to the sum of the four surrounding squares. Today's solutions appear tomorrow.

Suguru NO 2570

The aim of Suguru is to fill the grid so that no same digit is touching. A two-cell outlined block contains the digits 1 and 2; a three-cell block contains 1, 2, 3; and so on. The same digit must not appear in neighbouring cells, not even diagonally.
