More than two thirds of cyclists are running a red signal at newly installed traffic lights where an elderly nurse died. Cyclists and motorists face the same on-the-spot fine of £50 by police if they are caught running a red light. Mrs Griffiths's son, Gerard, told the Daily Mail cyclists are treating the circular road where his mother was hit like a 'racetrack'. I have nearly been hit because cyclists go too fast and run through red light. No pedestrians were hit by cars while only two near misses involving vehicles were reported, according to accident logs held by the Royal Parks.

Amanda Holden proved herself to be truly age-defying in her latest photoshoot as she showcased her jaw-dropping figure to mark turning 55. Getting even racier as she went on, Amanda also posed in just a bodysuit with staggering heels to showcase her endless legs. Amanda looked stunning in the images, which were extremely on-brand given her love of sexy ensembles and racy images. On keeping in shape, Amanda has previously revealed she runs three to four miles a week in addition to Kundalini yoga practice and a 'Viking workout regime'. 'I will get back on the Peloton, drink at the weekends, but I don't stop myself from living.

Josie Baff has refused to blame her Australian teammate Adam Lambert after his crash cost her the chance to win a landmark second medal in the snowboard cross at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

She dragged the duo into the Big Final after starting fourth through the gates to finish second. He didn't know whether the missed opportunity to win an Olympic medal would stay with him.

There will be highest temperatures of between 6 to 10 degrees, turning much cooler by evening. There will be highest temperatures of just 2 to 6 degrees.

There will also be milder temperatures rising above average.

A person with no awareness of social politesse is not likely to respond too well to being told this. Stock photoI know, I know. Moaning about how inconsiderate and self-centred people are has become a weekend supplement column cliche by now. We are officially living in the Peak A**hole Era. The people who say, ‘I am here, and I am more important than you,’ without saying a single word.

Michael Houghton: Why deemed disposal matters less than you thinkDeemed disposal is a complex tax that takes the joy out of investing in index funds, but there are ways to reduce its impactYour pension should be prioritised over any other form of investing.

We try some of the best – and worst – versions on the marketWhen the weather is miserable, many of us turn to soup. And while making a nourishing vegetable soup to last you for a week of lunchtimes should be within the capabilities of most home cooks (and will cost less than anything you can buy in the supermarket), let’s face it – we don’t always have the time.

But SusanBarbaraKaren or JohnJamesJeremy on social media, or the stranger at the bus stop, have not. If you’ve consented to read this column, by the way, that doesn’t count as unsolicited advice. Nevertheless there are plenty of philosophers who would suggest that unsolicited advice is a bad idea.

The Aviva Stadium is unlikely to be the venue for Ireland's home Nations League match against Israel, according to sources with knowledge of the matter. Photograph: Tim Clayton/Getty ImagesSenior figures in Government have suggested it is likely that the Republic of Ireland’s home fixture against Israel, scheduled for October 4th, will be played at a neutral venue outside the country. The FAI said it would fulfil the fixture but has not said whether it will be played in Dublin or at a neutral venue. The Republic of Ireland team is due to play Israel home and away in the Uefa Nations League in late September and early October. Yesterday the Tánaiste said that Ireland needed to “decouple” opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza from “sport and decisions made by sporting bodies”.

In Australia, opposition leader Sussan Ley was still heading the 82-year-old centre-right Liberal Party that made her its first female leader nine months ago. The length of time chief executives stay in the job has fallen to an average of seven years, down from just over eight years in 2021. Still, impatient shareholders do not entirely explain the chief executive churnover, which has risen even at top-performing firms. As Donald Trump’s tumultuous second term began last year, chief executive exits in the US rose to the highest level recorded in more than 20 years by Challenger, Gray and Christmas, an outplacement firm that tracks chief executive hiring trends. The appeal of a fresh-eyed leader who can navigate the mushrooming uncertainties of modern business life is obvious – up to a point.

The Government is looking at the introduction of a new incentive scheme to direct some of the €170 billion held on deposit in banks and financial institutions into investment. However, Government sources said the initiative under consideration was not a special savings incentive account (SSIA) scheme similar to that put in place 25 years ago by former Fianna Fáil minister for finance Charlie McCreevy. Under that scheme, participants received a 25 per cent government top-up on their investment. Harris told RTE’s This Week programme on Sunday that he would publish a framework document for his proposed incentive scheme in the coming weeks. He said the area was complex and would have to look at tax issues and the amount that participants could put into an account, potentially tax-free.
