Train companies face the risk of transport chaos as they required to maintain the two metre social distancing in carriages but without any guidance yet on how to achieve it. Train services are due to increase to 70 per cent of capacity from next Monday, May 18th, as part of the first phase of easing Britain out of the coronavirus lockdown although there are fears that mixed messaging over the weekend could lead to a sharp increase in passengers today (Mon). Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, acknowledged that maintaining the two metre distance in carriages will slash the numbers of passengers by as much as 90 per cent, meaning only one in 10 will be able to travel in trains compared with before the pandemic. The Government has promised guidance this week on how the social distancing could be achieved but has yet to publish leaving train companies in the dark. “We are going to rely on the public to do the right thing and stay at home unless they have to travel,” said a train … [Read more...] about Train companies face struggle to introduce social distancing in carriages without clear guidance

Andrew Bailey has raised ministers' eyebrows for warning of "apocalyptic" food shortages as record wage growth raises fears that a dangerous inflationary spiral is taking hold in the economy. Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland Secretary, expressed “surprise” at the Bank of England Governor's comments about rising costs caused by the war in Ukraine blocking exports of wheat and cooking oils. “I was surprised to see that particular turn of phrase, I have to say,” Mr Lewis told BBC Breakfast. “But the Bank of England is independent, they will have their view of their assessment, their economic view of where things are and where things are going.” It came as new data from the Office for National Statistics showed pay packets jumped almost 10pc in March, helping workers keep up with the cost of living, but also risking making inflation worse. In February, Mr Bailey urged workers not to ask for a big pay rise this year , warning that "moderation" of wage rises was needed to … [Read more...] about Record wage growth sparks inflation fears as minister expresses ‘surprise’ at Bailey food warning

Prior to the coronavirus , I was at the peak of my newly adopted fitness journey. I was attending the gym regularly alongside a 9-to-5 unpaid work placement, and I felt good for it. Taking progress pictures, tracking my macros and treating myself on weekends had formed the basis of my new routine. But as someone who has struggled with body dysmorphia for almost eight years, lockdown has revealed to me that beneath the joy working out would give me, the deep-seated insecurities that have dominated a large part of my daily inner monologue had remained strong. As a teenager, my body was always something I was conscious of. I had always been physically active, as a member of a local rowing club from the age of 11 – training four days a week – and a swimmer before that. But it wasn’t until one of my best friends started to diet and skip meals, at 13 years of age, that I started to think deeper about the link between my physical appearance and my worth as a person, and … [Read more...] about During lockdown I realised I wasn’t dealing with my body dysmorphia well – so I have made a change that helped

Kumail Nanjiani has opened up about his discomfort with the focus on the physical transformation he underwent to prepare for his role in Marvel ’s Eternals . In December 2019, the actor shared shirtless photos of his muscular physique on Instagram , where he explained that he had “never thought” he’d be “one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless,” but that he had worked “way too hard for way too long” to not show off his results. In the caption, Nanjiani had explained that he’d decided to “transform” how he looked after learning that he had gotten the role in the Marvel superhero movie, before thanking his team of nutritionists and personal trainers who helped him. However, in a new interview with GQ , the Silicon Valley star revealed that, in the year and a half since he shared the photos, he has grown “uncomfortable” talking about his body. “I’ve found out over the last year and a half, since I did that picture, that I am very uncomfortable … [Read more...] about Kumail Nanjiani says he is ‘very uncomfortable’ talking about his body since viral shirtless photos

Sri Lanka's ruling party on Tuesday defeated a move in Parliament to urgently debate a motion censuring President Gotabaya Rajapaksa for the nation's worst economic crisis, which the prime minister said has left enough gasoline stocks for only a day. It's unclear when the motion will be taken up again. It doesn't legally bound Rajapaksa to quit, but his refusal to do so has already roiled Sri Lanka, which is on the brink of bankruptcy as it negotiates with other countries and institutions an economic lifeline to be able to import basic supplies, medicines and fuel. M.A Sumanthiran, a lawmaker from the opposition Tamil National Alliance, proposed that Parliament bypass the usual procedure to take up the motion against Rajapaksa urgently. But the ruling party defeated the motion with a 119-68 vote. Protesters have occupied the entrance to the president's office for more than a month calling for Rajapaksa's resignation. Months of anti-government rallies have led to … [Read more...] about Censure vote vs Sri Lankan leader fails as crisis simmers

Armenia reiterated on Friday that it was "ready" for international mediators to help end hostilities with Azerbaijan over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh as fighting between the neighbors raged for a sixth day. Baku has insisted only the Armenian withdrawal from the region, recognized internationally as Azerbaijani territory, can guarantee a ceasefire. Armenia said that its military shot down drones belonging to Azerbaijani forces with one reaching within 10 miles of Yerevan, although Baku denies this. "Armenian air defense forces have already eliminated three [drones]," the Armenian government tweeted on Thursday, as the dispute over the predominantly Armenian-populated region threatens to draw in Turkey and Russia. Meanwhile, the defense ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh said that the death toll in the biggest eruption in the decades-long conflict had reached 154, after another 54 casualties on Friday. Olesya Vartanyan from the International Crisis Group said that … [Read more...] about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict creeps closer to Armenia’s capital
