A University of Oxford college is to change its name to honour Vietnam’s richest woman after she offered it a £155m donation. Linacre College says it will ask the privy council for permission to change its name to Thao College after signing a memorandum of understanding over the money with Sovico Group – represented by its chair, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao. The graduate college, founded in 1962, is named after the Renaissance humanist, medical scientist and classicist Thomas Linacre. The donation will help to pay for a new graduate centre and graduate access scholarships, the college has said. “We have long been…

Ole Gunnar Solskjær is facing the serious blow of being without Raphaël Varane for the visit of Manchester City on Saturday after the defender injured a hamstring in Manchester United’s 2-2 draw at Atalanta. The centre-back only returned for the 3-0 win at Tottenham last Saturday following a groin problem and was among United’s best performers as they kept only a second clean sheet of the season. Yet at the Gewiss Stadium Varane was forced off in the first half and Solskjær said: “It’s a hamstring and I didn’t want to take a risk. On the first assessment it doesn’t…

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said on Nov. 2 that he had filed a lawsuit against an important part of the vaccine mandate introduced by the Biden administration. Marshall filed the lawsuit with the goal of stopping the federal mandate from being enforced in any state before it comes into effect on Dec. 8. On Sept. 9, President Joe Biden announced sweeping measures that focus on the federal government, the health care sector, and private businesses. Federal workers and federal contractors will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Contractors have until Dec. 8 to mandate their employees to get the shot. Federal contractors…

Infections, hospitalizations, and deaths linked to COVID-19 have risen in recent months among people who have gotten a COVID-19 vaccine, according to newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But the bulk of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths occurred among unvaccinated Americans, the data show. COVID-19 cases per 100,000 among the fully vaccinated increased to 121 in mid-August from 12.3 in late June, according to CDC data. Around the same time, COVID-19-associated hospitalizations in that population rose to 75 per 100,000 from 8.9 and COVID-19 deaths jumped to 1.1 per 100,000 from 0.1. A stream of studies in recent months has indicated…

A judge on Monday paused a vaccination mandate for the Chicago Police Department (CPD) pending the settlement of a lawsuit between the department and the Chicago police officers union. Cook County Judge Raymond Mitchell granted a partial temporary restraining order, requiring that the city cannot enforce the Dec. 31 deadline for CPD officers to get vaccinated against COVID-19, but said that “the reporting and testing obligations”—or testing twice a week under city policy—still remain in effect Disputes over vaccinations should be handled as a labor grievance with an arbitrator, Mitchell said. “The reporting obligation itself is a minimal intrusion, particularly considering that police officers…

France retreated from threats to clog up exports and ban UK fishers from landing catches on its coast because it “looked more closely at the evidence”, the environment secretary, George Eustice, has said. Eustice denied the UK had acted in any way improperly and said it continued to abide by its obligations. France has been infuriated that some of its small boats are being denied permission to fish in waters around the UK and Channel Islands. The UK insists its licensing regime is reasonable and it will continue to require boats to provide evidence that they have previously fished in those waters on…

On the night when Wolves fans chanted “Bruno, Bruno” on the final whistle to indicate their new manager Bruno Lage is definitely proving more of a success at his new club than his predecessor Nuno Espírito Santo has been at Tottenham Hotspur, the mantle as the Premier League’s most under-pressure manager is now heading towards Rafael Benítez. Everton were woeful in a first half when Max Kilman scored his first Premier League goal before Raúl Jiménez hit his first at Molineux in over a year. Even if Alex Iwobi’s strike early in the second half presaged a spirited rally, this…

Ryanair will pull its share listing from the London Stock Exchange in the next six months because of Brexit, as the airline made a quarterly profit for the first time since 2019. The Irish carrier has pulled voting rights from non-EU shareholders but because of foreign ownership and control rules said it needed to deter UK investors. It reported on Monday an after-tax loss of €48m (£41m) for the six months to September, broadly in line with expectations, pointing to a second quarter profit of €225m after a €273m loss reported for the first three months of the 2021-22 financial…

Barclays CEO Jes Staley is stepping down from his role as head of the multinational banking group after British regulators announced preliminary conclusions of a probe into his ties to convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a Nov. 1 statement, Barclays said it was made aware on Oct. 29 of initial findings of the investigation by Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) into Staley’s characterization to Barclays of his relationship with Epstein and the subsequent description of that relationship in Barclays’ response to the regulator. Barclays said Staley was stepping down as he…
