'Suez 2'? Ever Given grounding prompts plan for canal along Egypt-Israel border
UK prepared to play leading role in project given new impetus by Ever Given blockage, say sources
The blockage of the Suez canal by the beached Ever Given container ship has prompted fresh international efforts to find an alternative to the world’s most important shipping corridor.
UN officials are understood to be reviewing plans to construct a new canal along the Egypt-Israel border, having previously dismissed ideas for a much longer route through Iraq and Syria as too hazardous.

Anger as long-awaited report on race and ethnic disparities concludes ‘claims of institutional racism not borne out’
Downing Street’s official response to the racial justice movements connected to Black Lives Matter has suggested the UK should be seen as an international exemplar of racial equality, and has played down the impact of structural factors in ethnic disparities.
The much-delayed report by No 10’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities is likely to spark an angry response from activist groups, with race equality experts describing it as “extremely disturbing” and offensive to black and minority ethnic key workers who have died disproportionally during the pandemic.

The V&A on Wednesday announced details of an exhibition, opening in November, that will display some of the most jaw-dropping ornaments ever produced. More than 200 objects will go on display, with the show-stopper being three eggs lent by Moscow Kremlin Museums.

Richard Okorogheye: appeal for help find 'struggling' London student
Nineteen-year-old, who has sickle cell disease, left his home on 22 March, saying he was going to visit a friend
A London mother is seeking help to find her son who has been missing for over a week.
Student Richard Okorogheye, 19, who has sickle cell disease, said he was “struggling to cope” with university pressures and had been shielding during lockdown, according to his mother, Evidence Joel.
The Metropolitan police said officers were becoming increasingly concerned about the teenager who was believed to have left his family home in the Ladbroke Grove area of west London on 22 March. He was reported missing on 24 March.
Joel told the MyLondon website: “Richard has never done anything like this. Something has gone wrong.” He would only leave the house to go to hospital for regular blood transfusions for his condition.
Joel recalled him saying he was going to visit a friend, although none of them had seen him, telling her to drive safe and that he would “see me later”, she told the website.
She returned home from a nursing shift at around 9pm and assumed he was in his room. She cooked him a meal but found he was not there when she knocked on his door and he did not answer his telephone.
The alarm was raised after a locksmith helped her gain entry to the room which was empty but Richard’s wallet, bus pass and bank card were left behind.
The teenager was last seen leaving his home and heading in the direction of Ladbroke Grove, west London, on 22 March at approximately 8.30pm, police said. Officers added that he was known to frequent London’s Westminster and Hammersmith and Fulham areas.
Chief inspector Clare McCarthy, of the Met’s Central West Command Unit, said: “Our officers have been working tirelessly to locate Richard, using all investigative opportunities and data inquiries, speaking with witnesses and trawling CCTV.
“We are following every lead possible and are appealing for the public to help us in our work.
“If you may have seen Richard, please contact police. If Richard is safe and well, we ask him to contact us as a matter of urgency so that we can put his family’s minds at ease.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting 21MIS008134, or they can call 999 in an emergency.
They could also go online at https://www.missingpeople.org.uk to pass any information on to the charity Missing People.

New Covid vaccines needed globally within a year, say scientists
Survey of experts in relevant fields concludes that new variants could arise in countries with low vaccine coverage
The planet could have a year or less before first-generation Covid-19 vaccines are ineffective and modified formulations are needed, according to a survey of epidemiologists, virologists and infectious disease specialists.
Scientists have long stressed that a global vaccination effort is needed to satisfactorily neutralise the threat of Covid-19. This is due to the threat of variations of the virus – some more transmissible, deadly and less susceptible to vaccines – that are emerging and percolating.

The backlog of crown court cases in England and Wales has reached “crisis levels”, with the increased remand population likely to disproportionately impact children and young people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, a parliamentary committee has warned.
In a damning report published on Tuesday, the House of Lords constitution committee said funding cuts had already left courts and tribunals struggling going into the Covid-19 pandemic and were exacerbated by a “regrettable” failure to plan for such a threat.

Glow-worms: as soon as you think you’ve seen them, they blink off | Helen Sullivan
As soon as you’re sure you imagined them, on they go again
“Thou aeronautical boll weevil / Illuminate yon woods primeval,” the Mills Brothers sang in 1952, imploring glow-worms to “Light the path below, above / And lead us on to love”. John Keats, comparing the fairness of goddess Psyche with the bright white moon and the evening star (spoiler: she is fairer than both), refers to the star as an “amorous glow-worm of the sky”. Seamus Heaney poked a glow-worm with a blunt stick and “a tiny brightening den lit the eye” – turning the stick into a wand.
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. I’m in Mozambique, it is dark, and there is a wedding tomorrow. I have just had my first – and I don’t know it yet, but only – drink in a coconut. I chose Fanta Grape. Outside at the restaurant, I see my first glow-worms. It is possible that they are fireflies, but they’re still: on the branches of what I hope are hibiscus trees, but then again, I would happily plant a hibiscus in every memory I have.

First Covid jab cuts infection risk by 62% in England care home residents
People infected after having vaccine may also be less likely to transmit virus, initial findings show
A government-funded study of care home residents in England has found that their risk of infection with Covid-19 – either symptomatic or asymptomatic – fell by 62% five weeks after they received their first Oxford/AstraZeneca or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine dose.
Those who were infected after having the vaccine may also be less likely to transmit Covid-19, initial findings showed. The study, funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, is key, given that most clinical trials and observational studies evaluated the impact of the vaccines on symptomatic infections, but whether the vaccines can reduce asymptomatic infections – which play a crucial role in the spread of the virus – is still unclear.

Organised team sports at all levels are also to resume. The government wants to use the moment to spark an increase in exercise, amid concerns over the health of the nation following a stark drop in physical activity during the Covid crisis and a year of intermittent lockdown.

Wada investigates Ukad for letting British Cycling conduct doping probe
- British cyclist reportedly tested positive for banned steroid
- Ukad has ‘no record’ of what happened
UK Anti-Doping has been placed under formal investigation by the World Anti-Doping Agency for allowing British Cycling to conduct its own probe into one of its riders in the lead-up to the London Olympics in 2012, according to reports.
In 2011 it is understood Ukad let British Cycling try to seek out a potential doper themselves after a British rider was drug-tested out of competition and their urine was found to contain an unusual amount of the banned steroid nandrolone, according to reports in the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday. But British Cycling’s findings were never made public and Ukad admits it has “no record” of what happened. Wada’s code compels Ukad – not a governing body such as British Cycling – to undertake such investigations.
