Racism and sexism ‘widespread’ in English cricket, report finds

Racism, sexism, classism and elitism are "widespread" in English and Welsh cricket – that’s according to a damning new report.

The Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) has delivered its findings after a two-year investigation.

It’s made 44 recommendations, including that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) makes a public apology for its failings.

The ECB announced the report back in March 2021 following global movements such as Black Lives Matter.

Some of those involved in giving evidence include women's captain Heather Knight, Azeem Rafiq, the former Yorkshire player and racism whistleblower, and England men's test captain Ben Stokes.

Obesity jabs found to cut risk of heart attack and strokes

Jabs designed to combat obesity might lower the likelihood of heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure among obese individuals, irrespective of the extent of weight loss experienced during the medication regimen. This indicates the potential for the treatment to yield benefits beyond mere reduction of excess body fat. Professor John Deanfield, who led the study, said the findings “have important clinical implications”. Report by Covellm.

Court of Appeal refuses to change sentence of Calocane

The Court of Appeal has refused to change the sentence of Valdo Calocane, who killed three people in Nottingham last summer. Giving their judgment, the Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr said: “There was no error in the approach adopted by the judge. “The sentences imposed were not arguably unduly lenient.” She concluded: “It is impossible to read of the circumstances of this offending without the greatest possible sympathy for the victims of these terrible attacks, and their family and friends."
