Photograph: Sam Boal/CollinsThe Medical Council is “actively engaging” in the case of a UCD medical student after a “nude, bruised” intimate image of her was shared with staff and students. Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said the “Medical Council is aware of that case and is actively engaging with the associated parties to get more information”. Carroll MacNeill told Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger the Medical Council had a responsibility to ensure “that everybody in the doctor profession, including those in the UCD medical school, meet the required standards for medical education. The TD said the image shared of the UCD medical student was taken after she said she was allegedly raped in 2023. If such incidents occur in the health sector “and involve medical practitioners, they should also be reported to the Medical Council”.

Bernardo Silva: Decisions against Man City can make big difference in title raceBy Andy Hampson, Press AssociationBernardo Silva believes Manchester City are repeatedly on the wrong end of 50-50 decisions after they dropped two crucial points in the title race on Wednesday. Haaland felt he should have been awarded a penalty (Martin Rickett/PA) Photo by Martin RickettThe incident was checked and cleared by VAR, but City captain Silva felt it was the wrong decision.

A tale of two catches decided England’s Twenty20 World Cup fate: one a dropped dolly, the other a worldie. Elimination to India at the semi-final stage for the second tournament in a row hinged on a howler by Brook that reprieved India’s man-of-the-moment Sanju Samson. A player whose swashbuckling batting eliminated West Indies in Sunday’s shoot-out cashed in again after being missed when on 15 by Brook at mid-on. ‘Catches win matches don’t they, and it just didn’t stay in the hands,’ said Brook. He also went the journey in England’s record 150-run defeat here 13 months ago.

World Cup coverage on ITV this summer is set to feature mid-match adverts, risking fury from fans watching the tournament. The change has already been seen in the Six Nations coverage, angering supporters when various products have been plugged during a pause in play. That is only the case for split-screen adverts and full-screen ones can still be any company the broadcaster chooses.

If airports in the region reopen it is clear it could take up a week to repatriate the estimated 2,000 Irish people caught up in the war.

Paul Murphy said a ban on social media recommender algorithms for under-18s was removed from Ireland’s online safety code “because big tech lobbied” to keep it. The approach differs from that of the Government, which has suggested a social media ban for under 16s.
