West Ham’s summer ‘rebuild that isn’t a rebuild‘ is what I suppose we should be labelling the project on which the Hammers will embark this summer. But having had a chance to reflect on his words, I think this broadcasts some very clear messages as far as the shape of the West Ham team next summer, should we choose to listen! Which is very good news for Freddie Potts and George Earthy who are likely to get their first team opportunities. David Moyes’ squad was if I remember quite small at the time of our first European campaign. All of which spells good news for West Ham’s academy graduates seeking to break into the full senior squad under Graham Potter.

With diplomacy on the war in Ukraine splintering in various directions, President Emmanuel Macron of France held meetings Thursday with top American officials that were designed to preserve at least the appearance of a united front. At a working lunch with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s envoy, Mr. Macron discussed “peace negotiations aimed at ending the Russian aggression in Ukraine,” a statement from the French presidency said. That wording appeared unlikely to please the Trump administration, which has taken a different view of the conflict. It has claimed that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion, berated President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine for being ungrateful, and aligned with the likes of North Korea in rejecting a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for its aggression. Still, greeting Mr. Rubio and Mr. Witkoff, Mr. Macron said in English that “this is a very important occasion for convergence.”

Write to letters@thetimes.co.ukSir, The Supreme Court ruling made me happy and angry in equal measure, as someone who was constructively dismissed by the Open University for asserting that men cannot be women (“Equality policies in chaos as court defines a woman”, Apr 17). It beggars belief that so many organisations bought into the silly and solipsistic logic of Stonewall’s vision of transgender rights — that people who believe they can change sex are discriminated against or harassed if we reject their belief or if we say No to allowing them into our single-sex spaces. I hope that this ruling will lead, immediately, to the removal of male prisoners — even those with a gender recognition certificate — from the female prison estate.

AI generated imageThe TOI Correspondent from WashingtonPoll Do you think the current political climate in the US is a deterrent for travelers from Europe? Even neighboring Canadians and Mexicans have been singed by MAGA rhetoric.A report from Tourism Economics revised its 2025 forecast for US inbound travel from an expected 9% growth to a 9.4% decline in international arrivals compared to 2024 -- a nearly 20 % swing.

Leichester during unrestLONDON: The UK’s press regulator has rejected a complaint by the Hindu Community Organisations Group (HCOG) Leicester about a “Daily Mail” article that claimed British Hindu extremists were forming alliances with far-right groups in Europe over their “common hatred of Muslims”, sparking fears of religious brawls.The IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation) wrote to HCOG convenor Vinod Popat on April 16 saying the article did not “raise a possible breach of the Editors’ Code”. TOI has seen the response, which rejects his complaint about the phrase “Hindu extremism — which is known as Hindutva” being used. IPSO said: “Hindutva carries multiple meanings, omitting to mention other definitions did not make the article inaccurate.”Popat also complained the article made claims about ties between British Hindus and far-right groups, and it suggested UK election interference by British Hindus “without credible or verifiable evidence.” IPSO rebuffed this too, saying the article was reporting on a National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) report. Stating that the secret report said Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik was inspired by Hindutva , BJP, and RSS was not inaccurate or misleading, IPSO said.Popat pointed out the article failed to have any input from British Hindus. IPSO rejected this, saying: “Under the Editors’ Code, articles do not need to be balanced, nor do specific interested parties need to be consulted ahead of an article’s publication… the opportunity to respond does not apply unless a published article includes significant inaccuracies.”IPSO dismissed his claim that the article discriminated against British Hindus and said if he felt it was inciting racial hatred, he should call the police.Popat has appealed their response with IPSO’s Complaints Committee, writing that the article fails to contextualise the credibility or status of the NPCC report and insinuates widespread community complicity, vilifying the whole community.

Scottish Parliament (Image Credit: Scottish Parliament website)LONDON: An Alba party member of the Scottish Parliament has tabled Scotland’s first-ever parliamentary motion tackling Hinduphobia.Ash Regan tabled the motion, which highlights rising levels of prejudice, discrimination and marginalisation experienced by the 16,000-strong Scottish Hindu community. It also acknowledges the importance of their research, advocacy and public engagement in raising awareness and advancing interfaith dialogue, social cohesion and mutual respect across Scotland’s diverse communities.The motion commends the work of the Gandhian Peace Society, a UK registered charity, for its report “Hinduphobia in Scotland”, which was presented on Jan 23 to the Scottish parliamentary cross-party group on challenging racial and religious prejudice. Motions are short statements written by MSPs to raise awareness of an issue.The report combines data with first-hand accounts of Hinduphobia. It highlights the vandalising of a Dundee temple with hateful graffiti and an attack with stones and bricks on a Hindu family’s home in Glasgow by masked men in 2021.The report reveals that a Hindu nurse in Edinburgh was denied a promotion because of her religion and was told to remove her bindi and bangles, and a Hindu teacher in Glasgow was accused of being a terrorist.The report also gives examples of Hinduphobic terms used in Scotland, such as “cow piss drinker” and “devil worshipper”. Sixteen per cent of Scots would be unhappy if a close relative married a Hindu, it says.“Regan’s motion sets a precedent: religious harmony is not passive, it is fought for, legislated, and cherished,” saidGandhian Peace Society general secretary Dhruva Kumar, who wrote the report.
