Janine Roebuck, from London, says she no longer considers herself deaf after double cochlear implants restored hearing An opera singer who hid her deafness for more than 30 years has described “life-changing” surgery that has the potential to become the norm for thousands of NHS patients. Janine Roebuck, 72, from London, had double cochlear implants fitted to restore her hearing, a method now being trialled nationwide to see whether it can transform the lives of thousands more people.

Kuala Lumpur is gaining ground as a leading financial hub, climbing three spots in the Global Financial Centres Index 39 to rank second in Asean last year. As competition intensifies across the region, the question for global business is no longer about whether to expand, but where to base that growth.

Kuala Lumpur is gaining ground as a leading financial hub, climbing three spots in the Global Financial Centres Index 39 to rank second in Asean last year. As competition intensifies across the region, the question for global business is no longer about whether to expand, but where to base that growth. At the heart of Malaysia’s shift is Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), a purpose-built international financial centre developed to support the country’s financial ecosystem and global ambitions. “TRX is a...

It’s an annoying choice: either lug around a heavy tome or try to remember when the paperback version is coming out Recently, readers have been all a-flutter over the publication of Patrick Radden Keefe’s richly reported new book, London Falling . Reviews of the celebrated writer’s exploration of the death of an English teenager embroiled in the murky worlds of crime and the ultra-rich have been rapturous. The podcast interviews are plentiful and images of the fresh hardback copy are popping up all over my Instagram. And about all of this I think: “Looks great, but I’ll wait for the paperback.” I’m a fairly typical reader and get through a decent number of books every year. I mainly read fiction and try to keep up with what’s going on in contemporary literature. But time and money aren’t plentiful; I’m a slow reader and a freelance journalist. Larry Ryan is a freelance writer and editor Continue reading...

Plus: youngest players to score a trophy-clinching goal, an apology to Albert Kidd and keepers seeing red Mail us with your all of your questions and answers “Sheffield Wednesday finished their Championship season on zero points, accumulating 18 points throughout their 46-game season after being handed an 18-point deduction for severe financial mismanagement,” notes Michael Butler. “But has any team finished on zero points simply because they lost every league game?” There are many instances of teams finishing on zero points (with deductions), but one really has to delve deep to find those teams unfortunate enough to lose every single match in a full season. Even Fort William, famously branded as the “worst football team in Britain ” after going 840 days and 73 matches without a win in 2019, managed to dig out a couple of draws in those seasons.

If supporters want transparency, they won’t find it in the rubber-stamping of Steve Borthwick’s coaching team There has been a lot of fuss in recent days about French TV directors not giving rugby fans the full picture.

If supporters want transparency, they won’t find it in the rubber-stamping of Steve Borthwick’s coaching team There has been a lot of fuss in recent days about French TV directors not giving rugby fans the full picture. In that particular department, sadly, there remains a runaway market leader. To say the Rugby Football Union’s public response to England’s disappointing Six Nations campaign has failed to supply all the relevant angles is an understatement. In an ideal world, there would have been a media conference with Bill Sweeney, the RFU’s chief executive, alongside Steve Borthwick, his head coach, presenting a united, purposeful front and outlining precisely why the status quo needs preserving despite England having racked up four championship defeats for the first time since 1976. Instead, there was only a “ Don’t tell ‘em, Pike ” statement on email best summarised in four words: “Nothing to see here.” Continue reading...

Federations have concerns over men’s World Cup model FA works with Uefa to freeze ticket prices for Euro 2028 The Football Association and US Soccer Federation have joined forces to lobby Fifa to alter its proposed organisational model for the 2031 and 2035 Women’s World Cups. Both federations are understood to be seeking more local control after concerns that have arisen over the organisation of this summer’s men’s World Cup, particularly regarding the cost of tickets and financial disputes with some US state and city authorities.

Presented by Nutanix Across industries, organizations are focused on how to move from AI pilots, proofs of concept, and cloud-based experimentation to deploying it at scale — across real workloads, for real users, in real business environments. VentureBeat spoke with Tarkan Maner, president and chief commercial officer at Nutanix, and Thomas Cornely, EVP of product management, about what that transition demands, and what it will take to get it right. “AI in general is shifting everything we do, not only in technology, but across all vertical industries, from regulated industries like banking, health care, government, education to non-regulated industries like manufacturing and retail,” Maner said. “As a complete platform company, we welcome this change. It’s creating more opportunities for us as a company to serve our customers in better ways as we move forward.” But there’s still a practical gap between experimentation and production, Cornely said. “It’s one thing to do an experiment, to do a prototype. It’s a different thing to take that prototype and deploy it for 10,000 employees,” he explained. “We went from people focusing on training models to chatbots to now doing agents, where the demand and pressures on AI infrastructure are growing exponentially.” Agentic AI introduces a new layer of enterprise complexity The rise of agentic AI is what makes this transition especially consequential. These systems introduce multi-step workflows across applications and data sources, along with a degree of autonomy that creates new operational demands. Enterprises now have to contend with multiple agents running simultaneously, unpredictable and real-time workloads, and the need to coordinate access to infrastructure across teams. “OpenClaw is making it very easy now for anybody to build agents and run with agents,” Cornely said. “You want those agents to be running on premises with your data. You need to have the right constructs around it to protect the enterprise from wha...
