TURKEY & SYRIA TREMORS AFTERMATH – Rescuers in Turkey quake pull out survivors alive after 72 hours Search and rescue operations in quake-hit Turkish cities continued overnight and in the early hours on Thursday 72 hours after the disaster.

On the ground, many people in Turkey and Syria spent a third night sleeping outside or in cars in freezing winter temperatures, their homes…

The UK telecoms regulator has launched an investigation into the industry-wide practice of hitting broadband and mobile customers with inflation-busting price rises of up to 17% and could bring in tougher protections against hefty mid-contract increases. Ofcom, which in December launched a separate investigation into the sales tactics used by telecoms companies, said it could intervene to ensure consumers struggling with the cost of living crisis have “greater clarity and certainty” over how much they are likely to pay over the course of their contract. The UK’s biggest companies in the sector – including BT, EE, Vodafone, Virgin Media O2 and TalkTalk…

Erik ten Hag criticised his players for failing to be ready for the fight and lacking responsibility but praised the “brilliant” Jadon Sancho whose equaliser against Leeds sealed Manchester United’s comeback at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Leeds, led by caretaker Michael Skubala, scored inside the first minute of the opening half and the third of the second before Marcus Rashford and Sancho ensured the points were shared. Ten Hag said: “When you start a derby like we did it’s unacceptable. You have to be ready to fight and we weren’t ready for the battle. It looked like it [his players were…

The Football Association is to make a second attempt to get approval from Fifa for trials of temporary concussion substitutes after proposals were rejected last month. English football’s governing body is expected to use the AGM of the law-making body Ifab on 4 March to restate its view that the Premier League, alongside MLS and Ligue 1, should be allowed to test an alternative method for dealing with head injuries. The push is likely to be met with resistance from Fifa, reinforcing the sense of a split at the top of the game over how best to treat a crucial issue. Fifa remains…

The new Conservative party chair, Greg Hands, has said this year’s local elections in England will be difficult but that the Tories are in “overall good shape”, with Lee Anderson a man of “great integrity” working as his deputy.

But he struggled to defend controversial remarks Anderson made as a prominent backbencher. Hands, the MP for Chelsea and Fulham, told Sky News: “We’ve obviously got difficult local elections this year.…

New ‘everyday’ stamps featuring the image of King Charles were revealed for the first time, the latest item in Britain to get a makeover following the death of Queen Elizabeth. From coins and banknotes and to the official royal cypher used by the government, Britain has been slowly introducing replacements featuring the new monarch since his mother’s death in September. In keeping with a tradition dating back to the first Penny Black in 1840, the new “definitive” stamp uses an adapted version of a portrait of Charles by British sculptor Martin Jennings which is also appearing on new coinage. The…
