Millions of Aussies with a mortgage are facing fresh pain, with the Reserve Bank 'primed' to hike interest rates at its next meeting as inflation continues to rise.

‌Fernandes has addressed speculation surrounding Saudi Arabian interest last summer when Al-Hilal were allegedly willing to stump up £100million for his services. Latest news, analysis and much more on Mirror Football's Facebook pageBumper contract extensionThere's arguably no player currently at United who possesses greater worth than Fernandes. Fernandes is reportedly demanding a £400,000-a-week deal should he sign new terms at Old Trafford, given his next contract will likely be the final major deal of his career. There remains a danger in offering a lengthy new deal to a player who turns 32 in September, though. The monetary incentive is also remarkable, with Fernandes allegedly receiving a contract proposal worth approximately £700,000 per week.

Eoin Burke-Kennedy breaks down what it all means for Ireland, while Rahul Bedi provides the Indian perspective. Intel has long been seen as the key to Ireland’s success in attracting foreign direct investment from the tech sector.

Norway’s defence minister looks at one of his favourite maps – it shows the world from the perspective of the Arctic. Nearly all Arctic states, Russia included, cut back on their military presence after the end of the Cold War, closing bases. Today Moscow has more than 40 military facilities along the Arctic coast, including military bases, airfields, radar stations and ports. A senior Nordic official said the US depended on this intelligence, saying: “It’s definitely a two-way street. “The actual force presence in Arctic military sites has gone down as some of the Arctic brigades were deployed to Ukraine and sustained heavy losses,” Ditrych said.

Climate specialist outlines 'major issues' with reliance on Met Éireann to forecast floodsWe cannot keep relying on Met Éireann to predict floods when it is not equipped to do so, according to a climate expert. It comes after Housing Minister James Browne heavily criticised Met Éireann, claiming the forecaster did not adequately warn of the risk of flooding from Storm Chandra, which devastated large numbers of properties. However, Mr Scroxton identified three "major issues" with dependence on the forecaster's warning system when its primary role is to issue warnings related to weather.

Ireland’s central role “enforcing” Europe’s digital rules and regulations “cannot be delivered without an adequate level of resources”, four watchdogs warned recently. In a joint letter to senior officials in the Department of the Taoiseach last month, the regulators appealed for additional funding to respond to a growing workload. The letter, signed by the heads of the Data Protection Commission (DPC), Coimisiún na Meán, ComReg and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), pushed the Government to address “resourcing concerns”. Previous Irish governments faced sustained criticism of failing to staff properly Ireland’s data protection watchdog in the run up to the introduction of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018. The Government was committed to “ensuring our digital regulators are sufficiently resourced to deliver a modern, cohesive regulatory framework that is responsive to the evolving digital age”, the spokesman said.
