On the first anniversary of the fall of Kabul, the government is still providing hotel accommodation to 9,500 Afghans who sought refuge in the UK, with just 7,000 re-housed. While charities welcomed government moves to limit the use of hotels to house refugees, they raised concerns that many would be unable to find suitable accommodation in the private rented sector and were at risk of homelessness. Afghan families with children will find it difficult to find accommodation large enough to be able to afford using the housing allowance provided....

HYDERABAD, India — When Indian screenwriter Vijayendra Prasad set out five years ago to write an action film, he wanted to tell a fictional story but pay homage to the “real warriors” of India’s freedom struggle. The result was “RRR,” a three-hour visual effects spectacle that was released in the spring and immediately broke records at the Indian box office. At the film’s climax, a muscular protagonist retrieves a bow from a shrine to the Hindu god Ram and cuts down hapless British soldiers with a hail of arrows....

The Hubble constant is one of the most critical numbers in cosmology because it tells us how fast the universe is expanding. There are several methods for measuring this percentage. However, determining the accuracy of this number is necessary to better understand fundamental questions such as the age, history, and composition of the universe. The new study by two University of Chicago astrophysicists offers a way to do this calculation: by using pairs of colliding black holes and thus understanding the evolution of the universe, what it’s made of and where it’s going....

A possible fall visit to Taiwan by Canadian MPs and senators will follow US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island in early August. Pelosi’s visit – which she described as a mission to show Washington’s support for Taiwan and democracies worldwide – angered the Chinese government, which considers the self-ruled island part of its territory.

When the effect of rising prices is taken into account, pay including bonuses fell 2.5 percent in the latest quarter compared to a year earlier. Regular wages fell by 3%, the Office for National Statistics said.

Private sector workers saw their wages increase by 5....

There was a time when Bo Levi Mitchell was the 24-year-old quarterback to conquer the CFL, but the now-greying veteran doesn’t envy the league’s latest wunderkind. Canadian pivot Nathan Rourke was a dominant force in his first season as a starter, throwing for 2,418 yards, 21 touchdowns and just six interceptions in seven games while posting a ridiculous 81.3 completion percentage. Mitchell’s Calgary Stampeders are the next opponent on the young star’s 6-1 BC Lions trail, but the two-time MVP won’t downplay his counterpart’s accomplishments ahead of the pivotal West Division clash....
