The Queen's role has been formally rewritten by Buckingham Palace following recent mobility issues that have forced her to pull out of several key events. In its annual report, the palace scaled back the monarch's "official duties" for the first time in more than a decade. They no longer include the State Opening of Parliament, which was previously considered necessary by "constitutional convention". This year's Queen's speech was read by the Prince of Wales , as the 96-year-old missed the event for the first time in almost 60 years. It was one of six occasions the monarch was previously required to attend. Four of the other five, including Trooping the Colour and Royal Ascot, were also led by Prince Charles this year. Advertisement The Sovereign Grant report, which is signed off by Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Michael Stevens, splits the Queen's duties into two sections: Head of State and Head of Nation. Her duties as Head of State … [Read more...] about Queen’s role formally rewritten by Buckingham Palace as official duties scaled back

Rape victims’ trials are being delayed for up to nine months by “tenuous” and “disproportionate” searches of their medical, council and even school records, a review by the Attorney General has found. Some victims are waiting months while police and prosecutors carry out “intrusive” searches of “third party” records for personal details that turn out to be irrelevant to the trial. In an interview with The Telegraph, Suella Braverman , QC, cited the case of a rape victim where searches of her carer’s records added nine months to the case yet the resulting evidence was “not relevant to the trial.” “The longer it takes, the more likely it is that the victim will drop out,” she said. This week she will propose a reform package to curb delays including sweeping away unnecessary searches, reducing time-consuming redaction of video and written evidence that can take police officers away from rape investigations for days and earlier disclosure of evidence by lawyers. It is … [Read more...] about Scouring of rape victims’ medical and school records delaying trials by up to nine months

This story was originally broadcast on "Sunday Morning" October 3, 2021. Considering they've been playing the riff for half a century, maybe it shouldn't be a surprise, but knocking the rust off never sounded so good, as this band tuning up in a rehearsal hall in Burbank. "A band like ours," said Patrick Simmons, "is a little different than a lot of bands, I think." The Doobie Brothers are more than a "little different," selling more than 50 million albums over the last 50 years. Correspondent Jim Axelrod said, "You can count on one hand and maybe have a few fingers left over the number of bands that have had that kind of longevity?" "Right. I think we all feel pretty lucky," said John McFee. While other members have come and gone over the years, Simmons, McFee, Michael McDonald and Tom Johnston – the core four Doobies – are all feeling pretty fortunate to still be playing together, and are not about to let the kind of festering resentments that broke up other bands (and … [Read more...] about The Doobie Brothers: “These are the better days”

JAMES Martin is known for his skills as a professional chef and TV presenter first and foremost. But James is also a massive petrolhead with a decent racing CV behind him and a collection of stunning cars. In a video posted by Jodie Kidd on her YouTube channel, James showed Jodie around his cars revealing some unbelievable gems. James is a huge fan of rallying, which is why he has some extremely rare rally cars that have been raced at the highest level by world-famous drivers. But more than anything the TV chef loves a car with a story. Which is why his classic Bentley open-top still has a tape in it from the day it was collected by its original owner and he's had his Shelby Mustang for 20 years. We've rounded up all of James' cars below Most read in Motors CABLE MANNERS Why electric car buyers are being ripped off & spending £600 to fix issues PLOT TWIST I got revenge after a car parked in my space but it turns … [Read more...] about Inside Chef James Martin’s incredible £5million car collection that features a Ferrari and a Mustang

If you've always wanted to get close to a head of state, then make your way to this swampy field just outside Historic Williamsburg, Virginia, where gigantic and decaying busts – some 20 feet tall, weighing several tons each – portray every U.S. president from George Washington to George W. Bush. "They're just huge!" one visitor exclaimed. "This whole thing is vibe," said another. But they're an accidental tourist attraction. "You kind of would expect 'em to be, like, in a museum," said Ben. "Instead they're outside, just in the elements." All on the site of Howard Hankins' recycling center. Hankins, who is also a builder, had originally helped construct a park for the busts that opened in 2004 to capitalize on the Williamsburg tourism industry. But just six years later, "The economy hit 'em hard," he said. "They just couldn't keep the doors open. And they called me up and asked me if I'd crush 'em, cause I crush concrete." Correspondent Rita Braver asked, "Why didn't … [Read more...] about Heads of state: A walk among giant presidential busts

I checked in to the hotel I'd booked and was asked to pay a £100 hold fee as standard. It was all very straightforward and I thought nothing of it.

As I made a diving save across the goalpost, my team erupted in cheers. ‘Nice one, Superman,’ a fellow player congratulated. It felt euphoric to be back doing the thing that I loved as a child, and to be in such a supportive environment – 11 years after giving it up. Playing after such a long break from the pitch was terrifying, but exhilarating. I’d abandoned my favourite sport due to persistent homophobia – but after finding an LGBTQ+ inclusive team, I’ve fallen in love with football all over again. Football was a hugely important part of my life from a young age. I used to have kick-arounds with friends between the ages of seven and 11 after school (even though I was the only girl that played) and go to matches with my dad. A Bovril and pie was our halftime ritual. My parents were incredibly supportive of my love of football. They encouraged me to join my first all-female team when I was 11. I played in goal and they came to every match, cheering me on from … [Read more...] about I quit football for 14 years after homophobia stopped me playing

Little bits and pieces. That was what Lewis Hamilton spoke of ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix on Friday. Little bits and pieces which Mercedes’s engineers have changed on the set-up of his car, and the sister model of team-mate Valtteri Bottas after they were squashed by Ferrari in Monte Carlo. Whatever those little bits and pieces were – and it’s believe that they centred upon minor adjustments such as brake balance and suspension settings in order to get the tyres working in their correct temperature window – they appeared to make a big difference here. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Montreal’s Ile Notre Dame is a different track to Monaco in many ways – it’s much quicker for a start, with top speeds significantly exceeding 300 km/h and has a more slippery surface, but like the Principality it’s also one massive brake test. Its heavy demands on braking see drivers jumping hard on the left pedal for 19 per cent of the lap, and experiencing decelerative forces up to … [Read more...] about Canadian Grand Prix 2017: Kimi Raikkonen has a point to prove as ‘little bits and pieces’ help Lewis Hamilton

Christopher Fry, who has died, aged 97, was, with TS Eliot, the leading figure in the revival of poetic drama that took place in Britain in the late 1940s. His most popular play, The Lady's Not For Burning, ran for nine months in the West End in 1949. But although Fry was a sacrificial victim of the theatrical revolution of 1956, he bore his fall from fashion with the stoic grace of a Christian humanist and increasingly turned his attention to writing epic films, most notably Ben Hur (1959). Fry, who was born in Bristol, came to the theatre via schoolteaching. He attended Bedford modern school, acted briefly in Bath, then taught at the Bedford Froebel kindergarten and at a preparatory school in Limpsfield, Surrey, before chucking it up to found the Tunbridge Wells Repertory Players in 1932. He ran the company for three years, directing the English premiere of Shaw's Village Wooing. He went on to write lyrics and music - including a song called I'll Snatch The Man From The Moon … [Read more...] about Christopher Fry
