A morality expert gives his view of the Pope:

Why hospitals can run more smoothly on strike days (but it's no long-term solution) Some hospital trusts tell the BBC previous action has seen shorter waits, faster decisions and calmer corridors.

No surprises that experience on the front line makes the system more efficient. Lessons to be learnt here?
But, we also rely on resident doctors to be tomorrow’s consultants!

Hillary Clinton on Trump's increasing unhinged posts: "I read those like I think I hope the majority of Americans -- both shaking my head, and really just feeling sick at heart that we have a president who is such a disgrace."

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

UK won't be drawn into 'wider war' and will work with allies on Strait of Hormuz plan, Starmer says Donald Trump has said it would be
