Starmer needs sharper survival strategy if he is to stay on

Tepid cabinet support and a blunted No 10 operation are making it harder for the prime minister to face down criticsUK politics: live updatesThe last time Keir Starmer faced a threat to his leadership, his core team assembled in the cabinet room and persuaded ministers to fire off a succession of supportive tweets in an attempt to keep him in office. This time has been different.As the number of MPs calling for the prime minister to resign has grown over the last 48 hours, much of the cabinet has remained quiet. Continue reading...

How China’s sharper tech edge forces South Korea to rethink decades of industrial ties

China’s rapid technological gains and aggressive pricing are making it increasingly difficult for South Korean firms to find profitable areas of industrial synergy with their Chinese counterparts, according to experts. Speakers at a recent forum in Beijing urged firms from both countries to pivot towards building more interdependent ecosystems in high-growth sectors such as batteries and artificial intelligence, while also calling for the advancement of negotiations towards an upgraded...

Viral volleyball star Jordan Lucas: ‘I’m celebrating like NFL players, just in a more feminine way’

The Cal State Northridge player has attracted millions of views for his hair flicks and dismissive waves. He says navigating the fallout has been a career of its own“I think people are really enamored with me because you don’t often see someone like me – animated, flamboyant – but still able to back it up on the volleyball court,” says Jordan Lucas, the outside hitter for Cal State Northridge’s men’s team.Although college volleyball has a devoted following and can attract big crowds – 92,000 fans went to see Nebraska take on Omaha in 2023 – it doesn’t usually attract the same attention as basketball or football. That changed last month though when clips of Lucas’s “flamboyant” play – he’s fond of celebrating with a flick of his hair or a dismissive wave at his opponents – went viral, amassing millions of views on social media. College athletes enjoying social media fame is hardly new: stars such as Paige Bueckers, Harper Murray, Olivia Dunne and Shedeur Sanders all had their viral moments. But Lucas’s case is different. It isn’t just about the highlights, it’s about the conversation surrounding them. Lucas is gay, and that fact has become inseparable from how audiences engage with his game. Continue reading...

More students, more colleges, too few teachers: Inside India’s higher education crisis

India’s higher education expansion looks impressive on paper: more students, more colleges, more seats. But behind the growth story sits a stubborn faculty shortage that exposes a deeper fault line. Recruitment delays, state-level bottlenecks, contractual hiring and weak academic infrastructure are leaving classrooms overcrowded and teachers stretched, raising a sharper question: Is access expanding faster than education itself?

India confronts sharper, earlier heatwaves as El Niño intensifies

India is experiencing unusually intense heatwaves earlier in the year, with temperatures surpassing 40°C in many regions and near 46–47°C in places like Akola. The warming trend is linked to the developing El Niño, which could amplify heat extremes and disrupt monsoon patterns, threatening health, livelihoods, and energy demand. The Lancet Countdown links heat exposure to rising illness and potential income losses, while urban design and incomplete protection worsen risk.

Oil at three-week high as US-Iran peace talks stall, and Goldman lifts price forecast – business live

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsUnicredit also have a note out on the oil market this morning, in which they warn:The Iran war has triggered one of the largest disruptions to physical oil supply in modern history. While de‑escalation could ease some geopolitical risk premiums, the damage to production, exports and logistics means markets are unlikely to quickly return to pre‑war conditions.We now assume a normalization in Gulf exports by end-June (vs. mid-May prior) and a slower Gulf production recovery. The economic risks are larger than our crude base case alone suggests because of the net upside risks to oil prices, unusually high refined product prices, products shortages risks, and the unprecedented scale of the shock.We assume that global oil demand falls on a year-over-year basis by 1.7mb/d in 2026Q2 and 0.1mb/d in 2026 given the jump in refined product prices. Because extreme inventory draws are not sustainable, even sharper demand losses could be required if the supply shock persists longer.Adverse scenario: Brent 2026Q4 would average just over $100 assuming Gulf exports only normalize by end-July.Severely adverse scenario: Brent 2026Q4 would average at nearly $120 assuming Gulf exports normalize by end-July and 2.5mb/d of persistent reduction to Gulf capacity. This 2.5mb/d of scarring is equivalent to Hormuz flows not recovering above 70% (till pipeline capacity is expanded).Benign scenario: Brent 2026Q4 would average just under $80 assuming Gulf exports normalize by mid-June, no capacity reduction, and stronger US and core OPEC supply responses.

His death led to tougher sentences for those who kill emergency workers. Mrs Harper, married just 28 days before his death, told the ceremony: "The world lost a hero, but I lost the person I was meant to grow old with."
