Amid growing censorship at home under the rule of Xi Jinping, efforts to document the massacre of 4 June, 1989, are intensifying abroad Discussions about the bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters that took place around Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on 4 June, 1989 – and in cities across China – often dwell on the risk of forgetting the massacre. The passage of time, with the world’s eyes soon drawn elsewhere, and suppression by authorities at home mean that the pivotal moment in Chinese history is at risk of fading into grey.

The leads are the most watchable thing in this raucous period yarn about a grimy pair of status-obsessed nobles Black-belt performances from Claire Foy and Richard E Grant put some vim and vigour into this haranguingly one-note and unidirectional period romp of the raucously bewigged and be-poxed 18th century.

The leads are the most watchable thing in this raucous period yarn about a grimy pair of status-obsessed nobles Black-belt performances from Claire Foy and Richard E Grant put some vim and vigour into this haranguingly one-note and unidirectional period romp of the raucously bewigged and be-poxed 18th century. It’s written and directed by American film-maker Peter Glanz, who gives us candlelit interiors like a knockoff Barry Lyndon, and periodic deafening orchestral stabs with a touch of Amadeus as furious people in costume storm down corridors. But Grant and Foy are always there, selling it hard and there are one or two nice lines. They play Sir Chauncey and Lady Savage, who are living in a vast crumbling country estate: he’s a parvenu, an adventurer, a lover of the new Hanover dispensation who loathes Jacobites, but fundamentally a social alpinist who married for money and took his wife’s noble name. She was entranced by his roguish ways and she forgave him everything but is, however, having an affair with the footman, Halifax (Jack Farthing), while he is carrying on with the maid, Dorothy (Bel Powley). Richard McCabe and Vicki Pepperdine play two ghastly neighbours with dodgy teeth: the only people who will associate with them. Continue reading...

Scheme aims to help 18-year-olds in England who lack support after leaving system to find trusted people with whom they have lost touch Growing up and leaving the care system is daunting enough, but for 22-year-old Hannah, from Hertfordshire, the biggest anxiety was the sudden reality of no longer having a crowd in her corner.

Scheme aims to help 18-year-olds in England who lack support after leaving system to find trusted people with whom they have lost touch Growing up and leaving the care system is daunting enough, but for 22-year-old Hannah, from Hertfordshire, the biggest anxiety was the sudden reality of no longer having a crowd in her corner. Turning 18 as a care leaver in England has been described as a “cliff edge” at which young people lose access to their social worker and support staff who provide day-to-day advocacy and help in a crisis – a reassuring and constant adult presence.

UK-based investors pulled money from cash funds and piled into bonds last month, enticed by surging yields, according to fund flow data compiled by Calastone.

UK-based investors pulled money from cash funds and piled into bonds last month, enticed by surging yields, according to fund flow data compiled by Calastone. Bond funds domiciled in the county drew £877 million ($1.18 billion) in May, marking the strongest month of inflows in almost three years. At the same time, money market funds shed almost £670 million, their third-worst month on record, according to a report from the London-based network for funds. Rising bond yields “offered an enticing opportunity to switch out of safe-haven money market funds,” said Edward Glyn , Calastone’s head of global markets. Bond yields globally shot up to the highest since mid-2024 in May, according to Bloomberg indexes , while 10-year gilt yields rose to 1998 levels on inflation concerns from the Iran War and political uncertainty in the UK. Read more: UK 30-Year Yields Hit 1998 Levels as Political Crisis Deepens Mixed-asset funds also had a strong month, adding more than £2.7 billion in the second-highest inflow on record. Equity funds, on the other hand, shrank by almost £260 million, led by outflows from emerging markets, Europe and Asia, the report said. “Strong inflows into both fixed income and multi-asset funds indicate that investors were ready to redeploy capital, but many chose diversification over concentration,” Glyn said. “Overall, May looked less like a return to risk and more like a carefully managed re-entry into markets.” Calastone compiles data on orders from UK-based investors into funds domiciled in the UK, which may invest in a wide range of geographies.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is ending an almost 30-year-old policy that forbade companies and individuals from airing their grievances or denying wrongdoing after they settled enforcement cases with the derivatives regulator.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is ending an almost 30-year-old policy that forbade companies and individuals from airing their grievances or denying wrongdoing after they settled enforcement cases with the derivatives regulator. The so-called gag rule, in place since 1998, will be revoked as soon as the policy update is published in the Federal Register , the agency said Wednesday. “The Rule directly infringes upon the First Amendment rights of Americans and works to conceal the operations of agency enforcement from the American people,” the CFTC said in the rule update. The CFTC’s policy had been rooted in the practice of allowing alleged wrongdoers to settle lawsuits or pay penalties without admitting or denying violations laid out by the regulator’s enforcers. Letting defendants later refute the claims would go against the spirit of these negotiated settlements, the agency has said. The CFTC’s policy shift follows a similar move from its fellow Wall Street regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission . The SEC killed its half-century-old gag rule in May, with its chief saying speech critical of the government is “an important part of the American tradition.” The SEC had faced criticism of its rule, including from agency critics like Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who supported legal challenges to end the policy. No party has formally challenged the CFTC’s policy, but in 2019 a nonprofit legal advocacy group, the New Civil Liberties Alliance, submitted a petition to the CFTC to end it, the derivatives regulator said. The agency let the petition “sit in limbo,” NCLA said in a statement Wednesday. “While this is good news for regulated individuals and businesses, the CFTC has gagged untold numbers of enforcement targets,” Kara Rollins, the group’s senior litigation counsel, said in a statement. “We hope there is meaningful relief provided for those individuals as well.” The CFTC on Wednesday said the agency will not enforce existing no-deny provisions tha...
