The family of a ‘wonderful’ producer and journalist are seeking answers and change within the TV industry following his death at the age of 40. But, two months ago, the previously healthy and active father-of-one began to experience extreme and chronic migraines, dizziness and insomnia. As first reported in Deadline last week, Channel 4 has instructed an external law firm to ‘undertake a thorough investigation’ following his death. In a statement, John’s wife, Yumeno Niimura, who is pregnant with their second child, said ‘John’s life is now a legacy’ and his loss represented a ‘failure of the industry’. “We are in ongoing contact with John’s family and offering them our support.

John Swinney was seen "swaggering" about the streets on Munich on Friday cashing in on the excitement ahead of Scotland's first overseas tournament match in 26 years. And Scottish Daily Express readers were not impressed with Swinney's visit, which took place in the middle of the General Election campaign. John Swinney has every right to go to Germany to watch Scotland play football if he wants to but why should we have to pick up the tab? They do, of course, have every right to protest, hoping to advance their aims in the eyes of a world-wide audience. One half, with megaphones was shouting "Tories, Tories, Tories..." the other half was replying..." scum, scum, scum".

Innova became for a period of at least four critical months the only company authorised to supply rapid Covid tests in the UK, despite scores of others developing similar kits. Kimberley Thonger, Innova’s UK representative, who had previously worked in marketing for a series of shoe companies including Dr Martens, emailed Cummings in Downing Street in July 2020.

Kasprzak also claims Huang was trying to secure a knighthood and working on having a film made about himself, titled Overnight Billionaire.

I don't really care because ultimately we alternate games between us.

The UK media scene is characterised by strong public and commercial broadcasters and a competitive and outspoken national press. But both public and private funding models are under pressure as audiences shift their attention further towards digital channels. Media groups continue to suffer from a combination of rising costs and lower than expected advertising revenues. The Times and Sunday Times, part of Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper stable, has amassed 558,000 digital-only subscribers, partly helped by a recent focus on international growth. BBC News remains dominant offline and online, although Digital News Report data show that reach has fallen over time, especially with younger audiences.

Step forward Phil Foden. Fans, pundits and critics all want Foden to do what he does for City, yet this is a different system completely. Cut to the BBC Studio post-match, and the refreshingly honest Cesc Fabregas chose Foden as the subject of his main criticism. And I think players like Foden, they need to step up. The England camp headed out to defend their performance, Bellingham pointedly noting that the instant reaction to any Three Lions game is negativity.

Jens Stoltenberg told Britain's Telegraph newspaper that there were live consultations between members to use transparency around its nuclear arsenal as a deterrent. "I won't go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. "Transparency helps to communicate the direct message that we, of course, are a nuclear alliance. ""NATO's aim is, of course, a world without nuclear weapons, but as long as nuclear weapons exist, we will remain a nuclear alliance, because a world where Russia, China and North Korea have nuclear weapons, and NATO does not, is a more dangerous world. "Stoltenberg said last week that nuclear weapons were NATO's "ultimate security guarantee" and a means to preserve peace.Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned that Moscow could use nuclear weapons to defend itself in extreme circumstances.

Edgy, gasping for full-time, two defensive midfielders on for the bold pair of options initially used alongside Declan Rice, this was not how England’s start to Euro 2024 was supposed to end. In survival mode. With Jordan Pickford punching his palm in anger that the team could not stop the waves of Serbian attacks. But the whistle came, Sweet Caroline played, and England had three points. But, for the hordes of English in the Arena AufSchalke, and those back home, this did not
