STRUGGLING to find the best electric bike for you? We’ve scoured the internet to source the best e-bikes on the market. Electric bikes come in all shapes and sizes, with the only difference between an e-bike and a normal one being the inclusion of a battery and a small motor. This motor features pedalling assistance and is generally found either in one of the wheels’ hubs or on the frame by the pedals themselves. The addition of this technology often leads to electric bikes not only being heavier than a standard bike, but more expensive too. How much do electric bikes cost?

The wooden spire of Notre-Dame cathedral is being re-built using centuries-old oak trees felled from a former royal forest - almost two years after it was destroyed in a fire. The lead-coated spire, which for more than 150 years had defined the central Paris skyline, was consumed by the blaze in April 2019, collapsing through the stone-vaulted roof to the tears and gasps of distraught onlookers. President Emmanuel Macron announced last summer the 96-metre (315ft) spire would be reconstructed as originally designed by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century, and the hunt for the 1,000 oaks required to build the spire and the frame of the cathedral's transept began. At the beginning of this year, the perfect trees were identified in Domaine de Berce, near Le Mans. They must all be chopped down before the end of March before the sap rises and the wood contains too much moisture. Aymeric Albert, the French forestry commission's commercial director, described the … [Read more...] about Notre-Dame fire: Cathedral’s spire to be rebuilt with 200-year-old oaks from royal forest

The owners of CityFibre Holdings, the telecoms infrastructure company, are to raise hundreds of millions of pounds from the sale of a stake to a new shareholder to aid their delivery of a £4bn investment programme. Sky News has learnt that CityFibre has appointed the investment banks UBS and Rothschild to identify a third investor to join Goldman Sachs-backed West Street Infrastructure Fund, and Antin Infrastructure Fund.

The world's most expensive drug has been licensed for use on the NHS in England. Zolgensma has a reported list price of nearly £1.8m per dose, but the health service said it had struck a "landmark confidential deal" with its maker at a "price that is fair to taxpayers". The one-time gene therapy will be used to treat Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in infants. The often fatal muscle condition affects nerves in the spinal cord, leading to paralysis. In the UK, up to 80 babies a year are born with SMA. Children who have the most common form of it - type 1 - have a life expectancy of only two years. Zolgensma, which is made by Novartis Gene Therapies, replicates a missing gene and restores nerve and muscle function.
