Tottenham Targets Solanke And Toney To Strengthen Squad Spurs eye Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke and Brentford's Ivan Toney as possible summer signings amid Richarlison exit rumorsTottenham Hotspur is making waves this summer transfer window with promising pursuits to bolster their squad.

My daughter’s ex-husband has decided that it is safe to take my granddaughter (who is just five) on the back of his motorcycle. He has parental responsibility and there is no prescribed lower age limit (which staggers me), but I cannot believe she has the strength or concentration to hold on safely. It wasn’t clear if he has actually taken your granddaughter on the motorbike yet or “just” threatened it. As it seems both your daughter and her ex have parental responsibility (are there any court orders? These are usually used if parents can’t agree on how to exercise their joint parental responsibility, for example, with regard to schooling or medical treatment, but they can also be used here.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face off for the first time on 10 September in a highly anticipated televised debate on ABC, the network confirmed Thursday, as Harris continues to gain momentum, leaving the Trump campaign scrambling. Trump attacked Harris and falsely claimed that no one was killed in the 6 January attack on the US Capitol. While Biden had been trailing Trump in key swing states, Harris has made gains, particularly after announcing the Minnesota governor Tim Walz as her running mate. An Ipsos poll published on Thursday found Harris ahead of Trump by 42% to 37%, compared to a 22-23 July Reuters/Ipsos survey, which showed her up 37% to 34% over Trump. How has the Trump campaign been reacting to the rise of Harris?

Times Insider explains who we are and what we do, and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. On July 29, a knife-wielding assailant went on a stabbing rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England. Three young girls — ages 6, 7 and 9 — were killed and 10 others, including children, were wounded. The next day, Megan Specia, a New York Times reporter who covers Britain and Ireland, traveled from London to Southport, where she found a community in mourning.

Aug 09, 2024 20:00:00Astronauts may not be able to return from the International Space Station during what was originally an eight-day mission, with their stay potentially extended until up to 2025byOn June 5, 2024 local time, the manned test flight of Boeing's manned spacecraftwas launched, and two astronautsat. However, the return has been postponed because it took time to verify problems with the propulsion system and other issues discovered during the test flight on the ground and check the safety of the return. However, Stich said, 'We have not voted to make a decision,' implying that the return using Starliner is also possible. Jerry Stone, a senior associate at the Space Studies Institute, told The Guardian that it's not uncommon for experimental space flights to have problems. 'This is a test mission, called a crewed test flight, and one of its purposes is to address any unforeseen issues,' Stone said.

A community radio station is calling for help to fund a move to a new location – or face going off the air – after being told it needs to leave its current home. Park Radio, based at Diss Youth and Community Centre in Shelfanger Road, has been tasked with finding new premises as the town council, which owns the building, is trying to decide what to do with the site. Some of the Park Radio crew outside the Diss Youth and Community Centre. “If the necessary funds cannot be raised, the management team of Park Radio will be forced to make the very sad and difficult decision to cease broadcasting. “Having served and supported the local community since 2017, particularly through the difficult times of the pandemic, Park Radio has become a lifeline of support and friendship for people across the Waveney Valley,” added Mr Grint.

Where Sikhs could be intolerant towards Hindus, or vice-versa, Muslim leaders were no better towards other faiths when the reins came to their hands. In calling for support and loyalty to the ruler of the land, Hazrat Ahmadas found grounds in Islamic teachings. Hazrat Ahmadas founded his mission with the aim of reforming Islam – enabling it to coexist in an extremely pluralist world. We now live in a completely changed world – the new world that Hazrat Ahmadas had envisaged over a century ago. It took all this for Muslims to realise that Hazrat Ahmadas was right in his understanding of Islam for modern man.

The debacle is a reminder that the way the UK planned to surf the wave of computing developments has been a stop-go shambles. By comparison, the US, Europe, Germany, China, Japan, Singapore and Australia (the last two working together) have spent more than a decade diligently planning for the exascale supercomputer revolution. The UK has recently and very belatedly joined EuroHPC, a multibillion-euro high-performance computing programme that aims to create a European supercomputing ecosystem. We have had plenty of tardy reviews of UK computing infrastructure and do not need another. Peter Coveney is director of the Centre for Computational Science at UCL and Roger Highfield is science director of the Science Museum.
