Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their first public outing together, following an announcement from Prince Harry and his wife Meghan that they would step back from senior roles in Britain’s royal family to spend more time in North America. Prince William and his wife Kate were greeted by cheering crowds at Bradford City Hall, where they are expected to meet with young people from across the community. Queen Elizabeth reluctantly agreed to her grandson and William’s younger brother, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s wish for a more independent future. People in Bradford supported the choice of the…

DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) – Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders disagreed in a Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday over whether he once told her a woman could not win the White House in 2020, underlining an emerging rift between the progressive contenders as the first voting nears. After days of tensions between the two U.S. senators, friends and liberal standard-bearers, who agreed early in the campaign not to attack each other, Sanders emphatically denied he ever made the remark, saying it was “incomprehensible” he could have said such a thing in a private 2018 meeting with her. Warren confirmed the…

Manchester United remain the top-ranked English club in terms of revenue generated but their 23-year dominance of Deloitte’s Football Money League could come under threat from Manchester City or Liverpool in next year’s table. United’s earnings of £627.1million for 2018-19 puts them third overall in the table, behind Spanish giants Barcelona (£741.1m) and Real Madrid (£667.5m). Their closest Premier League rivals are City and Liverpool in sixth and seventh respectively, with the Pep Guardiola’s side just £88.9m behind. United, who have been the highest-ranked English club since Deloitte first compiled the Money League survey based on the 1996-97 financial results,…

People are to be banned from using credit cards to place bets in an attempt to curb problem gambling, the Gambling Commission has said. The ban, which starts on 14 April 2020, comes after reviews of the industry by the commission and the government. A total of 24 million adults in Britain gamble, with 10.5 million of those doing so online. Separate commission research shows that 22% of online gamblers using credit cards are classed as problem gamblers. The ban will apply to all online and offline gambling products except lotteries that are run for good causes. These lotteries will…

Hong Kong courts are facing “unprecedented” challenges in processing the sheer number of protest-related arrests, the city’s leader Carrie Lam said at a news conference. Hong Kong’s Chief Justice announced the creation of a task force to deal with protest cases, which would introduce new measures such as possibly extending the courts’ sitting hours. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of large-scale protests and civil unrest. Demonstrators are angry at what they see to be Chinese meddling in Hong Kong’s promised freedoms when the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997. They also say they are responding…

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has given her blessing to grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s wish for a more independent future following crisis talks involving the most senior members of the royal family. “My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family,” the 93-year-old monarch said in a statement. “Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.” She…

Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Northern Ireland to mark the restoration of the British province’s devolved executive after three years and to hold talks with Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar. Parties representing Irish nationalists and pro-British unionists ended a three-year standoff that had threatened a key part of the region’s 1998 peace settlement by forming a new power-sharing administration. Johnson met First Minister Arlene Foster of the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party and Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill of Irish nationalists Sinn Fein on arrival at the Stormont estate, seat of the Northern Ireland government. Varadkar and Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney…

More parents now feel under pressure to check their work emails in the evening, according to a report. The 2020 Modern Families Index found that 44% of parents check their emails or do other work at night. Of those, three quarters said they did not have a choice, an increase since the study was carried out last year. And that is causing tension at home with more than half of respondents saying it led to arguments with their children or partner. The report said that the ability of working parents to “switch off” from their work was being undermined by…

Parity for women in most areas of public life appears to be decades away, according to new research. Men still dominate every sector of politics, public life and business, according to a new report by the Fawcett Society with the under-representation of women “consistent and persistent across sectors”. “Based on current rates of progress we’re looking at generations. We’re generations away from achieving gender equality particularly at the top of business and public life and that’s fundamentally unacceptable,” says Sam Smethers, chief executive of the Fawcett Society. “So we’re arguing we need to pace of change with real interventions that…

The main Irish nationalist and pro-British unionist parties in Northern Ireland who a day earlier agreed to a power-sharing government, sat on Saturday, after a three-year hiatus. On Friday Sinn Fein, the largest nationalist party, followed its rival, the Democratic Unionist Party, in backing a draft deal brokered by the Irish and British governments to end the devolved assembly’s suspension. The importance of the devolved administration has increased because a provision in Britain’s European Union withdrawal deal will give the assembly the right every four years to consider whether to maintain alignment with EU market rules.
