Britain’s Sudanese community is demanding the government does more to help bring their relatives – including NHS doctors – back from Sudan. Two planes were sent out from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus to evacuate UK diplomats from Khartoum – but other British citizens have not yet received support to leave the country. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the evacuation of the diplomats and their families was “complex and rapid” and followed threats to embassy staff in the capital. More than 400 people have died and thousands have been injured in a bloody conflict between the Sudanese army and a powerful paramilitary group known as…

On dialysis and potentially facing death, a 41-year-old homeschooling mother of seven young children has been rejected as a candidate for a life-saving kidney transplant by Emory Healthcare Inc. of Atlanta. The reason? The woman, who has already had COVID-19, refused to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on religious and medical grounds. To protect her privacy, the patient will be referred to in this article as Jane Doe. Emory Healthcare did not respond to a request for comment. Affiliated with Emory University, Emory Healthcare is one of the leading organ transplant centers in the South. According to Liberty Counsel (LC), a…

Cristian Stellini and Hugo Lloris both issued apologies to Tottenham’s supporters following the team’s humiliating 6-1 defeat against Newcastle on Sunday, with Lloris describing the display as “very embarrassing” and “very painful”. Stellini called it “the worst I have seen”’. Newcastle’s win, in which they race into a 5-0 lead inside 21 minutes, moves them to third, two places and six points clear of Spurs, whose hopes of Champions League qualification took an almighty knock. “There are no words to explain a performance like this,” said Stellini, who expressed his desire to remain in interim charge until the end of the season…

A group of 19 Republican lawmakers has called on the Biden administration to stop spending billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing invasion. In an April 20 letter (pdf) to President Joe Biden, the GOP Representatives and Senators shared their concerns that the trajectory of U.S. aid to Ukraine risks further escalating the war and lacks “much-needed strategic clarity.” “Over the past year, the U.S. has been the principal financier of the Ukrainian defense effort. As the war enters its second year, there is no end in sight and no clear strategy to bring this war to…

The House of Representatives approved legislation on April 20 that would prohibit taxpayer-funded institutions from allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s and girls’ sports in schools. The vote tally fell along party lines, 219–203. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, H.R. 734, introduced by Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), would amend Title IX to recognize sex as “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.” Title IX protects against sex discrimination in education. The bill states, “It shall be a violation for a recipient of federal financial assistance who operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic…

Dominic Raab has resigned as the UK’s deputy prime minister and as justice secretary after an official report into bullying allegations found he had acted in an “intimidating” manner towards civil servants. The investigation by Adam Tolley KC, a leading employment barrister, said Raab had on a number of occasions “gone further” than appropriate in delivering critical feedback and been insulting about work done by Ministry of Justice officials. Tolley believed that while Raab did not intend to upset or humiliate officials, they found him “unreasonably difficult to deal with”, as he was sometimes “abrasive” – and while he had…

History repeated itself: if the first leg was tragedy, the second was farce. Together, they ended Manchester United’s hopes of a European title. There were nine minutes left on a wild, noisy night in Seville when David de Gea, a long way from his line, stumbled and fell, leaving the ball at the feet of Youssef En-Nesyri and the goal and their fate at his mercy. From 30 yards the Moroccan rolled it in to finish this quarter-final, scoring the third here, Sevilla’s fifth over two legs. Manchester United had scored two of those for them in the first leg and…

Forecourt owners in the UK are adding to soaring inflation for consumers by charging many businesses that rely on diesel more than necessary at the pumps, campaigners have claimed. The pump price for diesel is about 10% higher than for petrol, even though the wholesale market price is lower, reigniting concerns that forecourt owners are profiteering at the expense of diesel drivers. The RAC estimates that on average forecourt owners are making double the profit from diesel users, which are often vans and trucks serving retail businesses, compared with the margins from sales of petrol. Steve Gooding, the director of…

Michael Schumacher’s family are planning legal action against a German weekly magazine over an “interview” with the seven times Formula One champion that was generated by artificial intelligence. A spokesperson for the Schumacher family, asked by Reuters for a comment on Wednesday, pointed to published reports of legal action. The Ferrari great has not been seen in public since he suffered a serious brain injury in a skiing accident on a family holiday in the French Alps in December 2013. The latest edition of Die Aktuelle ran a front cover with a picture of a smiling Schumacher and the headline promising…

The independent report into bullying claims made against Dominic Raab will be handed to Rishi Sunak today, The Telegraph understands. It will then be up to Mr Sunak to make a decision on the Deputy Prime Minister’s future. The Prime Minister is expected by Whitehall insiders to make a swift call once the conclusions are known. Mr Raab, who also serves as Justice Secretary, has always denied the claims made against him and has publicly committed to resign if he is found by the inquiry to have bullied junior staff members.
