Starmer accused of hypocrisy over sharp cuts to World Food Programme

UK reduces funding by a third despite pledges to tackle hunger, with critics warning the move will cost lives

Keir Starmer has been accused of hypocrisy after cutting funding to the UN World Food Programme by a third while pledging to tackle “suffering and starvation”.

The reduction in UK funding to the World Food Programme (WFP) from $610m (£448m) in 2024 to $435m last year is part of a wider reduction in aid spending that campaigners say is putting lives at risk.

‘An unqualified insurrectionist’: outcry over Trump nominee in Wyoming

Darin Smith, who was outside Capitol on January 6, decried as Senate mulls nomination as state’s top federal prosecutor

A Republican former state lawmaker with no experience trying cases, a record of opposing LGBTQ+ rights, and who was outside the Capitol during the January 6 insurrection, is awaiting Senate confirmation to become the top federal prosecutor in Wyoming.

Donald Trump first nominated Darin Smith as Wyoming’s US attorney last year, and the judiciary committee advanced him in a party-line vote in January. Democrats have condemned Smith, saying he lacks the experience necessary for the job and threatens to impose a discriminatory approach to federal law enforcement in the state where gay college student Matthew Shepard’s 1998 murder galvanized the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

Deafening, draining and potentially deadly: are we facing a snoring epidemic?

Experts say dangerous sleep apnoea affects an estimated 8 million in the UK alone, and everything from evolution to obesity or even the climate crisis could be to blame

When Matt Hillier was in his 20s, he went camping with a friend who was a nurse. In the morning she told him she had been shocked by the snoring coming from his tent. “She basically said, ‘For a 25-year-old non-smoker who’s quite skinny, you snore pretty loudly,’” says Hiller, now 32.

Perhaps because of the pervasive image of a “typical” sleep apnoea patient – older, and overweight – Hillier didn’t seek help. It wasn’t until he was 30 that he finally went to a doctor after waking up from a particularly big night of snoring with a racing heartbeat. Despite being young, active and a healthy weight, further investigation – including a night recording his snoring – revealed that he had moderate sleep apnoea. His was classed as supine, the most common form of the condition, meaning it happens when he sleeps on his back, and is likely caused by his throat muscles.

The Epstein files reveal that a vast global conspiracy actually exists – sort of

The documents confirm what many have long assumed: elites live by their own special rules and codes of immunity

The millions of Jeffrey Epstein files dumped last Friday by the US Department of Justice will provide journalists, conspiracy theorists and interested members of the public with months of reading. And what they will read is enraging.

What makes these files so infuriating, however, is not just Epstein’s horrific predatory behavior, which is well-known, but the more mundane examples of elite conduct that the documents continue to expose. They vividly illustrate a world whose existence many everyday people, whether fevered with visions of the Illuminati or just jaundiced by banal anti-establishment cynicism, already suspected exists: an informal global club of powerful, ultra-rich people who all seemingly know each other, help one another out, and protect each other from the consequences of their depravity.

Ralph Towner obituary

Virtuoso musician and composer who was at the forefront of 1970s jazz fusion, notably with the band Oregon

For a quiet man, Ralph Towner, the American multi-instrumentalist and composer, who has died aged 85, had an impressive penchant for sharp epithets about his own creative motives.

Describing himself as a “raconteur of the abstract” was a memorable one. So was his remark in 2023, to Premier Guitar magazine, that throughout his career he felt he had generally been “more obsessive than I’ve been curious”.

UK electric vehicle charging firms ‘seeking buyers amid rising costs and tough competition’

Mergers and acquisitions will shrink number of operators from more than 100 to five or six, says Be.EV co-founder

British electric charger companies are asking rivals to buy them as they run out of cash amid rising costs and intense competition, according to industry bosses.

A wave of mergers and acquisitions is likely to shrink the number of charge point operators from as many as 150 to a market dominated by five or six players, said Asif Ghafoor, a co-founder of Be.EV, a charging company backed by Octopus Energy.

Britse ex-premier beschuldigt 'bedrieger' Mandelson van verraad

LONDEN (ANP) - De voormalige Britse premier Gordon Brown vindt dat de ooit prominente Labour-politicus en ex-minister Peter Mandelson "het land heeft verraden". Naar verluidt zou Mandelson vertrouwelijke informatie van de regering hebben gelekt aan de Amerikaanse investeerder en zedendelinquent Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson was onder Brown minister van Handel en had goede relaties met de inmiddels overleden Epstein, zowel op persoonlijk als zakelijk vlak. Dat blijkt uit onlangs door de VS geopenbaarde mailwisselingen.

Sky News meldt dat Brown zich door Mandelson bedrogen voelt en dat die het land in gevaar heeft gebracht. "Alle informatie die hij gaf, zoals documenten van adviseurs, was gevoelig voor de handel en daarom geheim. Groot-Brittannië was daardoor in gevaar, de munteenheid was in gevaar, en er had speculatieve handel kunnen ontstaan. Er is geen twijfel mogelijk dat op commercieel gebied enorme schade had kunnen worden aangericht, en misschien is die wel aangericht", aldus Brown.


Batterijbedrijf ACC schrapt plannen voor bouw Europese fabrieken

PARIJS (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - Batterijenfabrikant Automotive Cells Company (ACC), waar autofabrikanten Stellantis en Mercedes-Benz een belang in hebben, schrapt de plannen voor de bouw van grote batterijfabrieken in Duitsland en Italië. Eerder werd de bouw al gepauzeerd, maar nu wordt een definitieve streep gezet door de plannen.

De fabrieken zouden eigenlijk komen in Kaiserslautern in het zuidwesten van Duitsland en in Termoli aan de oostkust van Italië. De Italiaanse vakbond UILM zei al geïnformeerd te zijn over het besluit van ACC, waar ook het Franse energiebedrijf TotalEnergies een belang in heeft. ACC had de bouwplannen in mei 2024 reeds gepauzeerd in verband met moeilijke marktomstandigheden en hoge kosten.

Stellantis, het moederbedrijf van merken als Peugeot, Fiat en Opel, kwam vrijdag met een waarschuwing voor een afschrijving van ruim 22 miljard euro die grotendeels te wijten is aan onrendabele investeringen in projecten voor elektrische auto's. Daarop kelderde het aandeel in Milaan een kwart in waarde.
