VIRAT Kohli could find himself in hot water with the threat of missing the next Test hanging over him. The Indian skipper's cantankerous display on the third day in Chennai in which he has two flashpoints with the umpire's could yet see him up before match referee Javagal Srinath for showing dissent at an umpire's decision. Kohli remonstrated with umpire Nitin Menon after being warned for running down the middle of the pitch and he then had a lengthy argument with both umpires after a review for lbw against Joe Root was turned down as 'umpire's call'. With Kohli having also stood his ground on day one when he was bowled by Moeen Ali, the umpire's may yet strike back at the Indian skipper by laying charges for Srinath to act on. A charge of dissent could result in anything up to four demerit points which would result in a ban on its own, but Kohli already has two points on his record so it would only take another two for him to miss the game in Ahmedabad. Kohli has spent a … [Read more...] about India captain Virat Kohli faces ban from third Test against England

F ield Marshal Lord Vincent of Coleshill, who has died aged 87, was successively Vice Chief of the Defence Staff, Chief of the Defence Staff and Chairman of the Nato Military Committee between 1987 and 1996; it was a decade that wrought immense changes in the balance of power in Europe, with far-reaching implications for Britain’s Armed Forces. Vincent’s appointments coincided with the demise of the USSR, the collapse of the Warsaw Pact countries, the Gulf War, the implementation of the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty and the re-unification of Germany. He also had to deal with the start of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and the consequent commitment of British forces to the UN’s Organisation Protection Force (Unprofor). These events raised important questions about British defence policy and structures. As the Cold War moved to its conclusion and the conflicts in the Balkans escalated, other Nato countries were reviewing their force structures, and one of … [Read more...] about Field Marshal Lord Vincent of Coleshill – obituary

A group of 45 Conservative MPs from "Red Wall" seats have called for a permanent reduction in business rates to help firms come out of "cold store" after the coronavirus crisis. In a letter to Chancellor Rishi Sunak ahead of Wednesday's Budget , MPs from the Northern Research Group (NRG) have demanded a "bold move" to support shops and high streets up and down the country. Live COVID updates from the UK and around the world Business rates are paid on the use of a building for non-domestic purposes. At last year's Budget, Mr Sunak announced a 12-month suspension of business rates to help firms affected by COVID lockdown restrictions.

BANKSY yesterday lost a battle with a small greetings card firm to keep his trademark for his famous Flower Thrower work. The anonymous street artist - whose work sells for millions - became entangled in a dispute with Full Colour Black over its use of the piece on a £2.99 card. Banksy last year accused the North Yorkshire-based company, which has just three employees, of trying to “take custody” of his name to sell “fake merchandise” of his work. He said it sparked him into opening his own store in Croydon, South London, and he trademarked the work. But in a ruling yesterday, the European Union Intellectual Property Office sided with lawyers acting for Full Colour Black who asked for the trademark to be cancelled. They successfully argued that Banksy - who once said “copyright is for losers” - had acted in “bad faith”, abusing the law by taking out the trademark. Lawyers also said anyone could simply have photographed the image and used it because it was graffiti … [Read more...] about Banksy loses battle with card firm to keep trademark for his famous Flower Thrower piece
