Measures designed to cut number of migrant workers and their dependants entering UK could damage health sector, say experts
James Cleverly has announced a package of measures designed to cut the number of migrant workers and their dependants entering the UK, making it far harder for employers to bring in overseas staff, including in the NHS and social care sector.
The home secretary presented a five-point plan in which the minimum salary requirement for a skilled worker visa would rise to APS38,700, while the rule allowing the most-needed professions to be hired at 20% below the going rate would be scrapped.
140,000 fewer will come through student routes.
100,000 fewer will come through health and social care routes.
50,000 fewer will come through other skilled worker routes.
Tens of thousands fewer will come as sponsored family members.

TimothA(c)e Chalamet leads a beguiling cast in a backstory that rinses away all sourness from Roald Dahlas embittered chocolatier
On paper, it is the worst possible idea: a new musical-prequel origin myth for Willy Wonka, the reclusive top-hatted chocolatier from Roald Dahlas 1964 childrenas story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who decides in the onset of middle age to offer five Golden Tickets at random for kids to look round his secret confectionery paradise, staffed by a slave labour workforce of Oompa-Loompas. But in the hands of Brit-cinemaas new kings of comedy, writer Simon Farnaby and writer-director Paul King (who have already worked their magic on Paddington), this pre-Wonka is an absolute Christmas treat; itas spectacular, imaginative, sweet-natured and funny.
TimothA(c)e Chalamet is charm itself as the young Wonka who comes to prewar Paris as a young man after a quaintly conceived life on the ocean wave, determined to make his fortune with the chocolate recipes invented by his mum (played by Sally Hawkins). Heas a chocolate disruptor, shaking up the stagnant chocolate business with his new chocolatey ideas; he faces cruelty and imprisonment but wins out with the help of new friends.

To Liz Truss and free market fundamentalists everywhere, channelling Thatcher means forging ahead against all expertise, making dumb and predictably immiserating decisions, then turning round when things go wrong and saying that it is everybody elseas fault that you couldnat vandalise hard enough.

Trump is broadcasting his plans in advance a and, if elected, heall claim he has a mandate to accrue power and exact retribution
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Plenty of observers seem to think thatas all one needs to know as one beholds Donald Trumpas seemingly inevitable Republican nomination for president and possible second term. They assume that because it wasnat fascism the first time, it cannot be fascism the second time; Trump is expected once more to be the bumbling, blustering buffoon, supervised by adults in the room.
This relaxed view ignores that, with todayas pioneers of autocracy, things tend to only get really bad when they enter office the second time. The difference with Trump is not that he would leave democracy intact; the difference is that figures like the far-right Hungarian prime minister, Viktor OrbA!n, or Polish strongman JarosAaw KaczyAski carefully hid their authoritarian plans. Trump, by contrast, is broadcasting everything in advance a and, if elected, will claim that he has a mandate to exact retribution and occupy the White House permanently.

Ours is the most unequal major economy in Europe, with poorer workers losing out most. Itas time to start playing to our strengths
Britain has huge strengths, but it is now impossible to miss that weare in a phase of relative decline. A year or two of poor productivity growth and flatlining wages is survivable, but 15 long years of stagnation is not: workers today take home no more than they did heading into the financial crisis. The cost of wages not growing as they used to? APS10,700 a year for the average worker.
Slow growth combines with longer-lasting high inequality: the UK is Europeas most unequal large economy. That combination has proved toxic for people in Britain on middle and low incomes. We think weare similar to the likes of France or Germany, but our poorer families are now a staggering 27% worse off than their French and German counterparts.

Sent out to front up on immigration, James Cleverly claimed the old plan had been nothing to do with the PM
Time has lost its meaning. No longer linear. The Newtonian laws of physics discarded. Rather, time now bends and twists, reaching back on itself. Forget the circular, we are now moving forwards into the past. The present becoming ever more fragmented into an 11-dimensional world. Each with its own reality and space-time continuum. Things are now out of date before theyave even happened.
Not so long ago, a government published its legislation programme at the beginning of each parliament. MPs on all sides more or less knew where they stood. No more. Rishi Sunak has created a quantum government. One thatas racing ever faster to oblivion. It began with the first reset. A month or so after he took office. That reset crashed and burned. Of course it did. Heas hopeless. The politician who is rubbish at politics.

Sultan Al Jaberas claim that green policies damage economic growth is wrong and highly damaging
For months Sultan Al Jaber, the president of the Cop28 climate negotiations in Dubai, has been insisting that there is no conflict with his day job, chief executive of the United Arab Emiratesa (UAE) state oil company.
Instead, he argued, the dual role enabled him to persuade fossil fuel companies to change. And some early successes in the talks provided some credibility to that claim.

As Israel pursues Hamas, the horrifying cost to civilians demands our attention. The ramifications donat end there
We cannot and must not look away from what is happening in Gaza. Half its population was forced from the north by merciless bombardment; now the Israel Defense Forcesa attacks upon the south have intensified and dozens of tanks have entered. Adults and children alike anticipate their deaths. More than 15,900 people in Gaza have been killed already, the vast majority of them women and children, according to Palestinian officials. Israelas prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has directed the military to act with aincreasing forcea in its pursuit of Hamas, this time facing an even larger, denser population in even more desperate circumstances.
The IDF says its concern for civilians is evinced by its evacuation orders. Given the lack of power and connectivity, even the most assiduous would struggle to keep up with complex and fast-changing instructions a and this is a hungry, exhausted, grieving and traumatised population, many of whom have already moved multiple times. In any case, there is nowhere to go: aSafe places have no water, no sanitation, are often not safe anyway a| They are not safe in hospitals, they are not safe in shelters,a JamesElder, a Unicef spokesperson, said on Monday.

Fixing a broken economy with service-led growth and increases in public investment as well as welfare spending should be seriously considered
Adam Smith, the father of economics, condemned as unproductive the labours of achurchmen, lawyers, physicians, men of letters of all kinds; players, buffoons, musicians, opera-singers, opera-dancersa. How wrong he turned out to be, says the Resolution Foundation thinktank. It points out that the creative industries accounted for 6% of the UK economy last year, and have grown faster than the UKeconomyoverall since 2011.
The report, Ending Stagnation, says the last 15 years of low growth and high inequality have seen a living standards gap worth APS8,300 open up between typical households in Britain and those in France, Germany and the Netherlands. It suggests fixing this by growing the UK economy through its service sector a and the work of Smithas agravea lawyers and afrivolousa musicians a to pay for higher investment and higher benefits.

The lack of access to well-stocked libraries should concern us more than the number of children owning books, writes Prof Paul Sturges. Plus a letter from Jill Webster on a memorable teacher
Your report quotes National Literacy Trust statistics showing that 8.6% ofchildren do not own a book (Almost a million children in the UK do not own a book, 28 November). This was my own experience in the 1940s and 50s. However, both my mother and grandmother were regular readers. They did not own books, but used libraries. I was introduced to the local public library early on, and reading quickly became the centre of my life. I went on to become a librarian and worked in cooperation with national and international library organisations in later years after I became an academic.
That so many children today do not own a book is disturbing, but itas just as bad, or worse, that their access to libraries is shrinking.A number of local libraries have been closed under pretty much every local authority, and book budgets are terribly constrained. This denies children the access to the enormous range of books that libraries have been able to offer in the past. Ownership of a few books is really no substitute for this.

City have conceded more goals a game than in each of the last three seasons. Is it just one of those things, or cause for anxiety?
In some ways it was a freak. Manchester City won the xG 2.6-0.5. The goal that made it 3-3 was only the second Tottenhamas Dejan Kulusevski has ever scored in his professional career with his head (in reality, his shoulder). City hit the woodwork twice. They might have nicked a very late winner had the referee, Simon Hooper, not blown for a foul on Erling Haaland when Jack Grealish was clean through on goal a a nonaadvantage over which Pep Guardiola was commendably restrained in his post-match comments. It was 3-3 but it was a game City had dominated; there really should be nothing for the champions to worry about.
And yet, this keeps happening. City have drawn their last three Premier League games. The three equalisers they have conceded came after 95 minutes, after 80 minutes and after 90 minutes. Last Wednesday, they beat RB Leipzig 3-2, but only after going 2-0 down. So much for those who dismiss Cityas evident brilliance as risk-free and bloodless.

This documentary tells the murky story of Dr Jan Karbaat, who secretly impregnated his female patients. Itas bleak to know we will never run out of stories of men being terrible to women
Last year I reviewed Our Father, a 90-minute documentary by Lucie Jourdan about a fertility doctor in Indiana who had spent 30 years secretly impregnating unwitting patients with his own sperm rather than that of their husbands or chosen donors. My overriding thought was that where there was one such doctor, there was undoubtedly another a and probably a whole lot more than that. There hasnat, after all, been a technology invented yet that an oppressor class hasnat found some way to use against its favourite oppressed class.
Lo, it has come to pass. In fact, Seeds of Deceit, about Dr Jan Karbaat, a Dutch pioneer in the field of artificial insemination, who covertly fathered hundreds of children via his unconsenting patients, had already made its debut at the Sundance film festival the year before Jourdanas programme streamed on Netflix. I suspect we are at the start of a new subgenre of true-crime story and I advise everyone to lower their expectations about humanity so the despair does not overwhelm.

There are no big question marks hanging over the assassination of the former Beatle and counterculture icon by Mark David Chapman: plenty of eyewitnesses watched it play out in front of the Dakota apartments, Chapman was immediately apprehended, and his guilty plea stuck him with a 20-to-life sentence at the Green Haven correctional facility, where he remains today. The co-directors Coldstream and Nick Holt reasoned that they would break new ground on the subject by privileging depth over breadth, inspecting the known components of an infamous case more closely than anyone had before with help from those embedded in the situation.

I named him Roo, welcomed his cuddles and watched him weave a trail of destruction through my flat. Even with antihistamines, the wheezing and coughing soon set in ...
It wasnat the right time to get a cat. Not only was I in denial about a suspected animal allergy, but I was sharing a tiny rented flat in Dubai that barely had enough space for our handbags, let alone a pet. When I saw a local cat charity begging for someone to foster a three-legged kitten on Christmas Eve, however, I couldnat resist. With so many volunteers away for the holidays, he urgently needed a place to stay. Tarmac, as theyad named him, had been found in a car park missing one of his front paws. The vets had no idea how head lost it, but said head need an operation to remove the remainder of his leg as he grew older.
The charity advertised the kitten for adoption, and in the meantime he came home with me. As a tiny, rescued kitten who had experienced trauma, he could have been shy and frightened a but he had other ideas. From the moment he came out of his carrier, he was instantly playful and he would constantly climb into my lap for cuddles. As he hopped boldly around my apartment, I renamed him Roo, which suited his curious nature and bouncy walk.

A delicious way to poach a chicken, bollito-style, with a range of flavours to complement it
Before she moved, Ginia lived in a fifth-floor flat in a 1920s block near Piazza Vittorio. And before she gave up cooking, she used to make a bollito every other Sunday. Once upon a time, that meant an almost full bollito misto alla Piemontese, as her father taught her to make it: beef (muscle, tail and tongue), also a whole chicken and cotechino sausage boiled separately, then served together, sliced and steaming hot, with a selection of sauces. But as the years went on and the house emptied a of children, also of her husband (she threw him out) a her bollito streamlined.
By the time I met Ginia, the bollito was half a chicken, or maybe a boneless beef rib known as scaramella. Not that there was any talk of food when we first met in the international bookshop near Termini station. Browsing side by side, she asked me what I thought of Iris Murdoch, looked appalled when I said I hadnat read her, then walked over to the desk and ordered me a copy of The Sea, The Sea. Two weeks later she sent me a message in capital letters a aLIBRO ARRIVES, BOOKSHOP WED 10a a and, after picking it up, we went for coffee, the first of many. She also seemed appalled when I told her I wrote about food. aOf all the subjectsa. But then later we did talk about food a if the story involved something sinister or salacious, or a pub. Which is how we arrived at the bollito, and her ex-husbandas insistence that for it to be true bollito, the raw meat must be put into boiling water, but how she used to start from cold and he never noticed the difference. And somehow we arrived at Fergus Hendersonas way of poaching a chicken, which she was quite delighted by, and in return she gave me suggestions for the sauces for boiled meat, whether for a bollito or a single poached bird, which is one of my favourite meals. Ginia suggested two or three condiments, plus mustard, with a poached bird, the sauces, and all ideally served in a compartmentalised dish. Leftover sauces are a gift for future meals and the saviour of leftovers. Ginia now lives in Berlin near her daughter, reads avidly and never cooks.

TimothA(c)e Chalamet leads a beguiling cast in a backstory that rinses away all sourness from Roald Dahlas embittered chocolatier
On paper, it is the worst possible idea: a new musical-prequel origin myth for Willy Wonka, the reclusive top-hatted chocolatier from Roald Dahlas 1964 childrenas story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who decides in the onset of middle age to offer five Golden Tickets at random for kids to look round his secret confectionery paradise, staffed by a slave labour workforce of Oompa-Loompas. But in the hands of Brit-cinemaas new kings of comedy, writer Simon Farnaby and writer-director Paul King (who have already worked their magic on Paddington), this pre-Wonka is an absolute Christmas treat; itas spectacular, imaginative, sweet-natured and funny.
TimothA(c)e Chalamet is charm itself as the young Wonka who comes to prewar Paris as a young man after a quaintly conceived life on the ocean wave, determined to make his fortune with the chocolate recipes invented by his mum (played by Sally Hawkins). Heas a chocolate disruptor, shaking up the stagnant chocolate business with his new chocolatey ideas; he faces cruelty and imprisonment but wins out with the help of new friends.

There are no big question marks hanging over the assassination of the former Beatle and counterculture icon by Mark David Chapman: plenty of eyewitnesses watched it play out in front of the Dakota apartments, Chapman was immediately apprehended, and his guilty plea stuck him with a 20-to-life sentence at the Green Haven correctional facility, where he remains today. The co-directors Coldstream and Nick Holt reasoned that they would break new ground on the subject by privileging depth over breadth, inspecting the known components of an infamous case more closely than anyone had before with help from those embedded in the situation.

As Israel pursues Hamas, the horrifying cost to civilians demands our attention. The ramifications donat end there
We cannot and must not look away from what is happening in Gaza. Half its population was forced from the north by merciless bombardment; now the Israel Defense Forcesa attacks upon the south have intensified and dozens of tanks have entered. Adults and children alike anticipate their deaths. More than 15,900 people in Gaza have been killed already, the vast majority of them women and children, according to Palestinian officials. Israelas prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has directed the military to act with aincreasing forcea in its pursuit of Hamas, this time facing an even larger, denser population in even more desperate circumstances.
The IDF says its concern for civilians is evinced by its evacuation orders. Given the lack of power and connectivity, even the most assiduous would struggle to keep up with complex and fast-changing instructions a and this is a hungry, exhausted, grieving and traumatised population, many of whom have already moved multiple times. In any case, there is nowhere to go: aSafe places have no water, no sanitation, are often not safe anyway a| They are not safe in hospitals, they are not safe in shelters,a JamesElder, a Unicef spokesperson, said on Monday.

Trump is broadcasting his plans in advance a and, if elected, heall claim he has a mandate to accrue power and exact retribution
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Plenty of observers seem to think thatas all one needs to know as one beholds Donald Trumpas seemingly inevitable Republican nomination for president and possible second term. They assume that because it wasnat fascism the first time, it cannot be fascism the second time; Trump is expected once more to be the bumbling, blustering buffoon, supervised by adults in the room.
This relaxed view ignores that, with todayas pioneers of autocracy, things tend to only get really bad when they enter office the second time. The difference with Trump is not that he would leave democracy intact; the difference is that figures like the far-right Hungarian prime minister, Viktor OrbA!n, or Polish strongman JarosAaw KaczyAski carefully hid their authoritarian plans. Trump, by contrast, is broadcasting everything in advance a and, if elected, will claim that he has a mandate to exact retribution and occupy the White House permanently.

After I became a mother, I just couldnat listen to the demeaning tracks of artists such as Eminem, Lil Jon and Busta Rhymes
During my final year of university, I remember hanging out with friends by a lake one summer. One friend set up his new hookah pipe as a dozen of us settled on a picnic mat, preparing for a laidback evening of good conversation and music. I offered up my iPod to the friend-of-a-friend who had a portable speaker and was controlling the music. But as she scrolled through my music library, the mood soured; she looked at me aghast, berating me for my choice of aun-feminista music.
One by one, she read out the titles of songs by Eamon, Busta Rhymes and other artists whose names I can no longer remember, who rapped profanities that I no longer feel comfortable typing on my keyboard, disgusted. As a woman, I shouldnat be listening to such music, she told me.
Her public admonition of my music choices irked me, but I didnat let her condemnation get in the way of my enjoyment. I continued to jam to rappers such as R Kelly, Fat Joe, Lil Wayne and Lil Jon. My favourite artist as a teen was Eminem. I memorised all the lyrics to Without Me and was certain that his songs enriched my own vocabulary a especially after he revealed that he studied the dictionary as a child. In my 20s, my late-night solo drives were incomplete without my car pulsating to Lil Wayne. Sure, the lyrics could be vulgar but, despite this, I genuinely enjoyed the music a the raspy voice, the penetrating beats and the speed at which he dropped what I thought were witty rhymes. It made me feel carefree and confident as I drove with my windows down and volume cranked up to the maximum.

City have conceded more goals a game than in each of the last three seasons. Is it just one of those things, or cause for anxiety?
In some ways it was a freak. Manchester City won the xG 2.6-0.5. The goal that made it 3-3 was only the second Tottenhamas Dejan Kulusevski has ever scored in his professional career with his head (in reality, his shoulder). City hit the woodwork twice. They might have nicked a very late winner had the referee, Simon Hooper, not blown for a foul on Erling Haaland when Jack Grealish was clean through on goal a a nonaadvantage over which Pep Guardiola was commendably restrained in his post-match comments. It was 3-3 but it was a game City had dominated; there really should be nothing for the champions to worry about.
And yet, this keeps happening. City have drawn their last three Premier League games. The three equalisers they have conceded came after 95 minutes, after 80 minutes and after 90 minutes. Last Wednesday, they beat RB Leipzig 3-2, but only after going 2-0 down. So much for those who dismiss Cityas evident brilliance as risk-free and bloodless.

Scientist proposes framework for reconciling mathematically incompatible theories of quantum mechanics and Einsteinas gravity
At the heart of modern physics is a gulf that scientists have spent more than a century trying to bridge. Quantum mechanics gives an apparently flawless description of the forces that dominate at the atomic scale. Albert Einsteinas theory of general relativity has never been proven wrong in its predictions of how gravity shapes cosmic events. But the two theories are fundamentally incompatible.
Now, scientists have proposed a framework that they say could unify these two pillars of physics, through a radical rethink of the nature of spacetime. Instead of time ticking away predictably, under the apostquantum theory of classical gravitya, the rate at which time flows would wobble randomly, like the ebb and flow of a stream.

More reporters are said to have been killed in this conflict than any in decades. Jonathan Dagher, from Reporters Without Borders, discusses what it means for public understanding of the region
Since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza an unprecedented number of journalists have been killed. According to press freedom campaigners, the last month has been the most deadly for almost three decades. Israeli and Lebanese reporters have been killed but the majority of those who have died have been inside the Gaza Strip.
Jonathan Dagher, from Reporters Without Borders, says many journalists have been killed in their homes like other civilians. With a rising death toll caused by the Israeli bombardment, journalists, like others who live in the Gaza Strip, have been trapped and unable to leave. Yet alongside these tragic deaths are those who have been killed while working. Is enough being done to protect the freedom of the press to report?

With 10 shows on and 1m tickets sold, Evolution are panto gods. But how do you work a giant? What will 50kg of glitter cover? And why did a bench almost cause a riot?
The giant takes a lumbering step forward, her arms swinging heavily like battering rams. A whooping cackle flies out as Robbie Abbott tries to find the right lever to make the giant blink. aThatas her mouth!a calls Emily Wood from the warehouse-floor turned catwalk, and Abbott scrambles to raise the giantas jaw a just as Wood leaps in to save us all from getting knocked over by an enormous fist.
Sitting on muddy land rented from a farmer in Kent, this monumental corrugated warehouse is a Santaas grotto of pantomime treasures. Although his normal role is as a workshop assistant, Abbott will soon be stomping down from a beanstalk on stage at the Grove theatre in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. aIall keep practising,a he beams. Nearby a sedate velvet unicorn looks on, unperturbed.

Last Week Tonight host looks into our flawed system of organ donation, transplant transportation and whole-body donation
John Oliver looked into the complicated and dysfunctional system of organ and whole body donations on Last Week Tonight, starting with organ transplants. The decision to donate oneas organs after death is widely popular in the US, with surveys finding 90% or more of Americans supporting it; over 42,000 organ transplants were performed in the US last year.
aBut the system that handles our donations has considerable flaws,a Oliver noted on Sunday evening. The organ transplant waitlist is over 100,000 people long, with 17 people dying each day waiting for an organ transplant. Meanwhile, over 20,000 people donate their bodies each year, presumably to science but often to more dubious ends.

Dorothy Wiggins was devastated when her husband died. But she was determined to embrace life, and quickly found fame when a journalist friend started filming her escapades in New York
In 2020, three months after his 100th birthday, Dorothy Wigginsa husband, Guy, died. They had been married for 61 years. aWe never fought,a she says. aWe were always together. Without him, I was devastated by grief.a Immediately after his death, alone in her West Village brownstone in New York, she filled her days by putting together a photo album of their life, but soon Wiggins started making trips into the city to figure out what to do next.
One of her children, Noel, had previously commissioned his journalist friend Michael Astor to make a short film about his parents. Now he suggested that Astor could film his motheras day-to-day activities. It might help take her mind off her bereavement, he said, and Astor could use the footage to create a documentary about her life.

I named him Roo, welcomed his cuddles and watched him weave a trail of destruction through my flat. Even with antihistamines, the wheezing and coughing soon set in ...
It wasnat the right time to get a cat. Not only was I in denial about a suspected animal allergy, but I was sharing a tiny rented flat in Dubai that barely had enough space for our handbags, let alone a pet. When I saw a local cat charity begging for someone to foster a three-legged kitten on Christmas Eve, however, I couldnat resist. With so many volunteers away for the holidays, he urgently needed a place to stay. Tarmac, as theyad named him, had been found in a car park missing one of his front paws. The vets had no idea how head lost it, but said head need an operation to remove the remainder of his leg as he grew older.
The charity advertised the kitten for adoption, and in the meantime he came home with me. As a tiny, rescued kitten who had experienced trauma, he could have been shy and frightened a but he had other ideas. From the moment he came out of his carrier, he was instantly playful and he would constantly climb into my lap for cuddles. As he hopped boldly around my apartment, I renamed him Roo, which suited his curious nature and bouncy walk.
