A rapid study by the World Weather Attribution (WWA) research group also found the current heatwave in the south-east of England was around 10 times more likely than without human activity warming the planet. But without humans warming the atmosphere by around 1.3C since pre-industrial times, such a heatwave would only have occurred about once every 50 years, the study shows. Heat of that level could be expected in June once in 25 years in the current climate, but only once in 2,500 years in June before industrialisation, the researchers said. “With every fraction of a degree of warming, the UK will experience hotter, more dangerous heatwaves. “Making our societies more equal is essential to reduce the impacts of climate change,” Dr Otto said.

The longest by far is a detailed and polemically charged analysis of contemporary liturgical writing and experimental worship. So, not all contemporary liturgical writing is summarily dismissed as a disaster, but most of it is.

In his analysis of the language of worship, Spurr frequently cites the work of David Jasper and Cally Hammond. Here, there is high praise for Cranmer’s liturgical writing as being “pitch perfect”, but is the BCP “timeless”?

New analysis by the Tony Blair Institute, released today, highlights that changes to student migration must come hand-in-hand with funding reform. ADVERTISEMENTBut we are in an environment of great fiscal constraint: the state is spending more, taxing and borrowing more and yet failing to deliver better outcomes across the public sector. Yet across the public sector, AI offers the chance to break the hard link between quality, scale and headcount. ADVERTISEMENTOur analysis finds that existing AI tools alone could generate up to £8 billion a year in productivity gains for local government and as much as £40 billion across central government departments. If anything, universities have even more reason than other service sectors to embrace AI given the impact these tools will have in accelerating research and personalising the learner experiences.

At least £400 million will also be invested in new and upgraded grassroots sport facilities nationwide after the funding was outlined in last week’s Spending Review, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said. But the Government is yet to commit to the bid, but has not ruled it our either, with a spokesperson saying it was working with UK Sport to secure a series of major sporting events up until 2035. “This major backing for world-class events will drive economic growth across the country, delivering on our plan for change. Nick Webborn, chairman of UK Sport, praised the new funding as having “huge potential to drive economic growth, bring people together and inspire the next generation”. “At the same time, Labour have scrapped the Opening Schools Facilities fund and the National Citizen Service – depriving young people of sporting opportunities.

Specifically, the best time to eat breakfast – if you’re eating it at all. But is there, from a health perspective, a best time to eat breakfast? Should we be eating breakfast at all? Then there’s the more fundamental question: do you need breakfast at all? A late-morning, protein- and fibre-packed breakfast is generally a good idea, but it might just be too logistically inconvenient.

"It was on the table for the last three years to bring balance and equity and balance to the trade deal between the two economies," Goyal said at an event in London. The minister is on a two-day visit to London from Wednesday.The agreement exempts Indian professionals and their employers from paying social security contributions in the UK for short-term assignments of up to three years. It is reciprocal so UK nationals employed by those companies in India pay into our system (for one year).

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, groups linked to the Chinese government have repeatedly hacked Russian companies and government agencies in an apparent search for military secrets, according to cyberanalysts. And they have continued steadily, with Chinese groups worming into Russian systems even as President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and President Xi Jinping of China publicly professed a momentous era of collaboration and friendship. The hacking campaign shows that, despite this partnership and years of promises not to hack each other, China sees Russia as a vulnerable target. China is far wealthier than Russia and has plenty of homegrown scientific and military expertise, but Chinese military experts often lament that Chinese troops lack battlefield experience. Experts say that China sees the war in Ukraine as a chance to collect information about modern warfare tactics, Western weaponry and what works against them.
