José Mourinho claimed that he and his team left with their dignity intact despite accusing Anthony Taylor of refereeing “like a Spaniard”, describing some of his decisions as a “scandal” and expressing his desire not to come up against him next season following Roma’s Europa League final loss to Sevilla. Roma were defeated by Sevilla on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Budapest, inflicting a first European final defeat on the Portuguese coach who had won his previous five, and the coach said afterwards that he was “tired of having to be the one that says we have been robbed”. Mourinho also…

FBI Director Christopher Wray has refused to comply with a May 30 deadline to hand over a document alleging that then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national were involved in a criminal scheme, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced. “Today, the FBI informed the committee that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the committee,” Comer said in a statement. “The FBI’s decision to stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people is obstructionist and unacceptable.” Comer is scheduled to have a phone call with Wray on May 31. Nonetheless, he said, the…

The Covid inquiry must take an unflinching look at how the UK’s lack of decent sick pay left the country “brutally exposed” during the pandemic, the TUC has said. The UK entered the pandemic with the lowest rate of statutory sick pay (SSP) in the OECD, an intergovernmental organisation with 38 member countries, and with millions unable access it, the union body claimed. This “broken sick pay system” massively undermined the country’s preparedness and ability to deal with the pandemic, and resulted in millions facing a huge financial cliff edge if they contracted Covid, it added. The inquiry will take witness evidence from…

Manchester United have decided against signing Bayern Munich star Marcel Sabitzer, with Erik ten Hag keen to recruit a younger midfielder. The Austrian joined United on deadline day in January on a loan deal that expires in July. The 29-year-old went straight into the starting XI following injury to Christian Eriksen and he impressed with his spirited displays. Sabitzer was ruled out of the remainder of the campaign a fortnight ago after suffering a meniscus injury. Bayern are happy to offload the midfielder and have set an achievable asking price of around £18million. But the Daily Mail say United are not going to take up…

An expert committee set up to advise ministers on how to change Britain’s archaic home ownership laws has not met for over a year, the Guardian can reveal, as campaigners warn the issue is slipping down the government’s agenda. The Commonhold Council – a panel of 11 people from the property industry, the legal profession and academia – was convened in 2021 as ministers promised sweeping reforms to the leasehold system. Last week Rachel Maclean, the housing minister, reassured MPs during a Commons debate that the council met “regularly” and was working closely with ministers. Information released to the campaigner Martin Keegan…

The free trade agreement between Australia and the UK has officially come into effect on May 31 after two years of negotiation. On May 30, British High Commissioner Vicki Treadell delivered the diplomatic note confirming that the UK’s domestic procedures for the trade agreement to come into force had been completed, effectively opening a new chapter in the trade relationship between the two countries. This comes after the trade agreement was signed in December 2021 and received approval from the UK parliament in March 2023. Trade and Tourism Minister Don Farrell said the deal was a major step in Australia’s plan to…

British households on prepayment meters face missing out on up to £130m of support for their energy bills if they fail to redeem government vouchers before they expire in a month’s time. Under the energy bills support scheme, which runs until 30 June, all households are entitled to discounts of up to £400 on their bills. Those on direct debits and smart prepayment meters received the payments automatically, but those on analogue prepay devices were sent vouchers by post or email and have had to take them to a post office or PayPoint vendor in order for the cash to…

The Kosova Tennis Federation has accused Novak Djokovic of contributing to the rising tensions between Serbia and Kosovo following his statements at the French Open on Monday. After Djokovic’s straight-sets win against Aleksandar Kovacevic, the 22-time grand slam title winner used the customary act of signing the camera lens to write the message: “Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop violence” in Serbian. Djokovic then reposted a photo of his message on his Instagram story. The 36-year-old was addressing the recent violent clashes in Kosovo following the local elections in April. Later on Monday, he spoke at length about the issue in his Serbian press…

A COVID-19 outbreak unfolded at a conference held by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) despite most attendees being vaccinated. About 1,800 CDC staffers and others gathered in April in a hotel in Atlanta, where the CDC is headquartered, for a conference focused on epidemiological investigations and strategies. On April 27, the last day of the conference, several people notified organizers that they had tested positive for COVID-19. The CDC and the Georgia Department of Public Health worked together to survey attendees to try to figure out how many people had tested positive. “The goals were to…
