FRANKIE DETTORI hailed Inspiral a “true champion” after she battled to Group 1 glory in Deauville. The Italian steered the three-year-old filly to beat the boys in the Jacques Le Marois for his gaffer John Gosden. The Cheveley Park homebred was sent off a 7-4 shot and kept David Simcock’s Light Infantry at bay in the dying strides by a neck. She proved her Falmouth Stakes flop, when stuffed at 1-7, was just a bad day at the office as hot favourite and 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus was stuffed back in fifth. Dettori, 51, said: “We were scratching our heads after Newmarket, after her fantastic performance in the Coronation at Royal Ascot. “She was taking on a Guineas winner and proper horses here. She showed today that she’s a true champion. She's back!

Staff at the City watchdog have told bosses that two days a week in the office is the most they can manage in the latest example of employees pushing back against a return to the workplace. Members of the “staff consultative committee” at the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) told executives that any changes to its hybrid working policy could prove damaging during the cost of living crisis. The concerns were raised at a meeting of the FCA’s board at the end of June, when the regulator was trialling a policy that required staff to work from the office just two days a week. In recent weeks, the FCA has established a permanent requirement for staff to work from the office just 40pc of the time over a month, or two days a week on average. The complaint highlights how workers are now using the cost of living crisis to push back against more frequent days in the office, suggesting they are concerned about the price of commuting more than two days per week. It comes after a … [Read more...] about Two days a week in the office is most we can manage, say staff at City watchdog

NEW DELHI: As India turns 75 today (Monday), the country’s richest man and business tycoon Mukesh Ambani celebrated its diamond jubilee with his wife Nita Ambani and grandson Prithvi Ambani. In a video making the rounds on the internet, Mukesh Ambani can be seen enjoying a national song holding his grandson Prithvi Ambani, while his wife is waving the national flag. It is pertinent to mention here that India marked the 75th anniversary of independence today with Prime Minister Narendra Modi giving a speech from Delhi's historic Red Fort, which was decorated with portraits of freedom fighters and guarded by mechanical elephants. Following a 21-gun salute, reportedly executed using howitzers made domestically for the first time under Modi's "Make In India" industrial strategy, the prime minister said Indians should shed "colonialism in our minds and habits". "Hundreds of years of colonialism has restricted our sentiments, distorted our thoughts. When we see even the smallest … [Read more...] about Video: Watch Mukesh Ambani celebrates Independence Day with wife Nita and grandson

F rench President Emmanuel Macron has accused Russia of using energy as a “weapon of war” as the chief executive of oil and gas giant Shell warned gas rationing in Europe this winter was possible. Mr Macron yesterday told citizens to "prepare for a scenario where we have to manage completely without Russian gas." "The summer, early autumn will be very hard," he said. "Russia is using energy, like it is using food, as a weapon of war." He said the government would prepare a "sobriety plan" to conserve energy, which would start with turning off public lights at night when they aren't useful. "We need a general mobilisation," Mr Macron said in a televised address for Bastille Day. Ben van Beurden, chief executive of Shell, echoed the French president’s remarks, saying Russia had shown it is “able and willing to weaponise energy supplies.” Mr van Beurden said Moscow had “surprised” the market and told governments to be prepared for the Kremlin to restrict gas further. “For a … [Read more...] about Macron says Putin using gas as ‘weapon of war’ amid rationing fears
