Top officials at the Rugby Football Union have been accused of betraying and misleading the game by the former England international who has been helping to negotiate the sport’s future below the Premiership. Simon Halliday, part of England’s 1992 Five Nations grand slam-winning side, has also called for a review into the “significant” failings of some RFU executive directors. Halliday, who was chair of European Professional Club Rugby for seven years until 2021, has latterly been representing Championship clubs seeking greater funding and firm guarantees from the RFU over promotion and relegation. In an excoriating letter sent to the RFU’s chair, Tom Ilube, seen by the Observer , he alleges the existing tier 2 clubs “have been stalled, misled and misinformed” and warns recent poor governance “threatens the game” in England. In particular, Halliday alleges RFU executives have reneged on assurances given at a council meeting in mid-June to talk further about softening the Premiership minimum standards criteria to make it more feasible for sides to be promoted to the top tier. “With the help of our own legal advisers ... I made it quite clear that some matters were not agreed and needed further debate,” Halliday wrote. “This was signed off by the RFU executive and I have the written evidence, as well as that of our lawyer. Since then, we have been stalled, misled, misinformed and there is no sign of a more progressive approach to this fundamental part of the game.” A two-leg playoff between the Championship’s top side and the Premiership’s bottom team had been hailed as a means of retaining promotion and relegation. But a crucial tweak to the small print now requires sides lacking an existing ground with a capacity exceeding 10,000 to have advance planning permission and financial assurances in place guaranteeing their stadium expansion work will happen within four years, in effect leaving every Championship club, bar ninth-placed Doncaster, unable to go up. Halliday, who stepped down in August as chair of the Championship board, has urged Ilube either to “make a statement clarifying that promotion and relegation is dead” or to “conduct an immediate review” before the 1 December deadline for applying for a facilities audit. “You potentially have no club which can be sustainably promoted,” wrote Halliday. “How is this acceptable? It is the RFU who is expected to look after the whole game. Instead, you are alienating the very clubs ... for whom you are responsible.” The letter also claims that efforts by the Tier 2 Board to negotiate fair and reasonable criteria for ground capacity were circumvented by decisions taken at a Professional Game Board meeting that was allegedly not quorate. Halliday believes “the legality of what has taken place is clearly questionable” and says aspiring Championship clubs have been left in “an unacceptable position” by the RFU. “Your executive directors have failed in significant fashion to take care of this process,” he told Ilube. “Recent actions by the RFU legal team seem to have been [about] obfuscating and protecting the status quo which is clearly not consistent with [RFU] Council decisions. This threatens the game in our country given its seriousness. Further, the commitment by Bill Sweeney and the [RFU] executive to discuss in good faith the funding gap between the promoted club and the existing Premiership clubs has not been fulfilled despite numerous requests.” Sign up to The Breakdown The latest rugby union news and analysis, plus all the week's action reviewed after newsletter promotion The RFU is already under fire on several fronts, with significant year-end financial losses due to be reported imminently and the national team having lost seven of their past nine Tests. There are also fears the financial situation at Twickenham may frustrate a plan by the Rugby Players’ Association to extend much-needed welfare support to tier 2 players. In response the RFU stressed that a new Tier 2 Board with an independent chair was now in place. “It is through this board that all matters relating to rugby’s second tier are raised and managed,” said a spokesperson. “The board members are working collaboratively to deliver a reimagined tier 2 from next season.”The Palace of the revered Oba of Benin, on Saturday, said it was not in support of the planned dramatisation of the popular Igue Festival in Lagos. The Palace also noted a Lagos High Court order restraining the Association for Cultural and Economic Renaissance of Edo (ACERE) from holding or dramatising the yearly Igue Festival in Lagos without the authorisation of the Palace of the Oba. The Igue Festival is an important cultural and religious event in the Benin Kingdom, and its performance is reserved for the Oba of Benin. The Palace, in a signed statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Benin City by the Chief Press Secretary to the Oba of Benin, Mr Osaigbovo Iguobaro, said the planned event, scheduled for Sunday at the Muson Centre in Lagos, was being organised without the consent or consultation with the Oba of Benin, Ewuare II. The statement reads, “The Oba of Benin Palace has legally aborted plans plans by a group of persons acting under the label of ‘The Association for Cultural and Economic Renaissance of Edo (ACERE)’ for attempting to ignite, fake cultural war against the highly revered age-long Benin tradition Igue Festival. “In response to the ulterior moves and unauthorized use of the Benin Palace effigy, by the group led by Omorodion Uwaifo, a Lagos State High Court has restrained the Association for Cultural and Economic Renaissance of Edo (ACERE) from staging/dramatizing the performance of Igue Festival at Muson Centre, Onikan in Lagos without the consultation and consent of His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, CFR, Oba of Benin, who is the custodian of Benin customs and tradition. “In order for Uwaifo and his group not to distort our age-long custom and traditional performance of Igue festival by the Oba of Benin, the Benin Traditional Council has approached the court to restrain this association from staging the so-called “performance”. “The Court in its wisdom and as a result of the short notice, has granted the prayers of the Benin Traditional Council. The Court ruled that by virtue of Order 42 Rule 8 of the High Court of Lagos State (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019, the court has restrains the Defendant/Respondent from, repeating the use or continuing to deploy or use the image, picture, video, signature of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II CFR, to advertise, market, propagate, or promote the staging of any play tagged IGUE-the Annual Thanksgiving Festival of Benin Kingdom, without his consent, pending compliance with pre-action Protocol.” Iguobaro further noted that the Palace expressed “serious reservation about the drama” by the convener of the programme, who was said to have “fraudulently gone ahead to use Omo N’Oba N’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo’s picture in the social media to publicise their so-called dramatisation and staging of Igue festival in contrast to the cultural, religious and spiritual implications and relevance of the festival to the Palace and Benin people.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Sam Darnold tossed aside his stoic demeanor for a moment after realizing he was on the videoboard, aggressively twirling a towel to further stoke the crowd's fire after the Minnesota Vikings had pulled away from Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons late in the game. “I just felt the buzz. That was pure passion, pure joy, man,” Darnold said. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

The political fight over the federal government's response to anti-Semitism has ramped up following the firebombing of a synagogue as the opposition promised a crackdown. or signup to continue reading The firebombing at Melbourne's Adass Israel Synagogue is being investigated by Victoria Police and an Australian Federal Police counter-terrorism squad, with a meeting set for Monday. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese believes it has hallmarks of an act of terror, saying anti-Semitism has no place in Australia. But Opposition Leader Peter Dutton accused him of not taking a stronger line, pledging to deport people on visas who display anti-Semitic behaviour and a dedicated federal task force to tackle the issue. If the coalition is elected after next year's federal election, the federal police-led body will tasked with investigating historic complaints about anti-Semitism dating back to October 7, 2023. This includes "blatant acts of discrimination, racism online and threats that have been made to people of Jewish faith", Mr Dutton said in Melbourne on Monday. Investigations into public display of symbols, incitement, harassment and other offences that didn't result in criminal charges will be re-opened. Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson pledged to issue a ministerial direction to the AFP to prioritise anti-Semitism and amend migration laws to ensure anti-Semitic conduct is captured. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has already cancelled and denied visas to people who've made anti-Semitic remarks - which is possible under the character test for visas. and , without the support of the opposition. Doxxing refers to the revealing of a person's private information, such as phone numbers or addresses, without their consent and is often used to encourage harassment. Labor has also appointed Australia's first special envoy to combat anti-Semitism. Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, who is Jewish, called for unity over "partisan bickering", given the distress and fear being felt in the Jewish community. "I have experienced levels of anti-Semitism, as has every Australian Jew, like we have never experienced it before in our lives," he said. "That's got to stop and it's not a time for finger-pointing, it's not a time for cheap criticisms." The government on Sunday announced an extra $32.5 million in funding over the next 18 months to improve security measures to protect the Jewish community. While politicians have branded the synagogue attack an act of terror, Mr Dreyfus said while the attack caused fear and distress, which was "a core part of a terrorist activity", it was important that police be able to conduct their assessments without political interference. Ex-federal Liberal treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who is a member of Melbourne's Jewish community, claimed "the government's weakness (in calling out anti-Semitism) has emboldened those who hate and emboldened those who harm". "It's clearly a terrorist attack under the legislation, it's a house of worship, so it's a religiously motivated attack," he told Nine's Today Show on Monday. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has written to the prime minister asking him "to reflect on how this has been allowed to occur". It wants Mr Albanese to "review the government's rhetoric and public statements on anti-Semitism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict".

The trio were able to collect all of the remaining stars, meaning they won a reward of a three-course meal and drink. We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

Mets cut Alex Ramirez, a former top prospect, as well as relievers Alex Young and Grant HartwigElon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the leaders of Trump's new "Department of Government Efficiency," have found themselves at odds with some of Trump's far-right supporters over their support for H-1B visas, which allow foreign skilled professionals to work in America. The debate was sparked over the Christmas holiday when , a conservative social media figure who faced criticism when she traveled with President-Elect Donald Trump on some campaign stops, criticized Trump's appointment of Silicon Valley entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan as his senior policy adviser for artificial intelligence. Criticizing a post from Krishnan where he advocated the removal of country caps for green cards, Loomer called the appointment "deeply disturbing," prompting an online battle between the business leaders who say the work visas are essential to employing high-qualified foreign and Trump supporters who argued it was a way for business leaders to have cheap labor rather than provide job opportunities for Americans. Both Ramaswamy and Musk made numerous posts on X claiming H-1B visas are essential because American culture doesn't prioritize success in science and engineering careers compared to other countries. "Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn't start in college, it starts YOUNG," Ramaswamy posted on X. "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers," he added. Musk, who has said he once worked in the United States on an H-1B visa, said he has depended on these work visas for the operation of his tech companies and that they are essential due to the number of skilled workers needed to handle the rise of new technologies. "OF COURSE my companies and I would prefer to hire Americans and we DO, as that is MUCH easier than going through the incredibly painful and slow work visa process," he posted. "HOWEVER, there is a dire shortage of extremely talented and motivated engineers in America." Loomer and other far-right conservatives have also argued that the expansions of such programs would go against Trump's immigration crackdown. While she and others have accused Musk and Ramaswamy of hindering Trump's aggressive immigration proposals, the business leaders have argued that any such reforms would not hinder the program's extensive vetting process. "Maybe this is a helpful clarification: I am referring to bringing in via legal immigration the top ~0.1% of engineering talent as being essential for America to keep winning," Musk wrote on X. "This is like bringing in the Jokic's or Wemby's of the world to help your whole team (which is mostly Americans!) win the NBA," he said, referencing two foreign-born basketball stars. Now, the business leaders are being accused of using Trump for their own personal gain. "We are substituting a third world migrant invasion for a third world tech invasion. Same shit," Loomer posted on X. "Except this invasion won't be done by rapist foreigners who look and smell like garbage. It will be done by career leftist tech billionaires who hate Trump deep down inside." Further showing a divide among conservatives over the issue, former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley also weighed in, pushing back on a post from Ramaswamy and arguing American workers should be prioritized over . "There is nothing wrong with American workers or American culture," she said. "All you have to do is look at the border and see how many want what we have. We should be investing and prioritizing in Americans, not foreign workers." In June, David Sacks, who will be the president-elect's AI and crypto czar, interviewed Trump for his "All In" podcast and asked Trump if he would expand H-1B work visas for after fixing the border -- to which Trump said "yes." In that same episode, Trump also promised to award all international graduates with green cards, saying, "I want to do, and what I will do, is you graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That includes junior colleges, too." His campaign later walked back that promise, saying there would be a vetting process. "He believes, only after such vetting has taken place, we ought to keep the most skilled graduates who can make significant contributions to America," Karoline Leavitt, incoming White House press secretary, said in a statement to ABC News at the time. "This would only apply to the most thoroughly vetted college graduates who would never undercut American wages or workers."

Peter Dutton is again defending his plan to take Australia nuclear after the national science agency estimated it could cost at least twice as much as Labor’s renewables plan. In its latest modelling, the CSIRO put the cost of a regular large-scale nuclear plant operating 90 per cent of the time at $155 a megawatt hour. But that could blow out to $252 a megawatt hour if only used 53 per cent of the time, according to the findings. Asked about the modelling on Monday, the Opposition Leader lashed out at the independent government agency and accused Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen of meddling with it. “They haven’t even seen our plan yet, and yet they’re out bagging it,” he told reporters. “It just looks to me like there’s a heavy hand of Chris Bowen in all this, and I don’t think people want to see that. “What they know about Chris Bowen at the moment is he’s wrecking the energy system, and that’s wrecking the economy. “That’s why families are facing food inflation and higher prices when they go to the supermarket.” The CSIRO’s modelling in its latest GenCost report, which it produces in partnership with the national energy operator, estimated that wind farms would produce electricity at $56 to $96 a megawatt hour, while solar farms offered an even better result at $35 and $62 a megawatt hour. Mr Dutton has not yet provided costings for his nuclear plan despite announcing it nearly six months ago. He has promised to release the figures this week, but in the absence of a figure, third party estimations have attempted to attach a price tag. The Smart Energy Council has estimated it would cost between $116n-$600bn and only provide 3.7 per cent of Australia’s energy mix in 2050, based on experiences overseas and data from the CSIRO and the energy operator. It worked out at about the same cost as delivering a near 100 per cent renewables mix by 2050. Mr Bowen said in a video on social media the latest modelling “shows that the cheapest form of new energy is renewables and the most expensive form is nuclear”. “This report is crystal clear and it shows yet again renewables, even including the cost of batteries and transmission, is the best, cheapest and fastest solution for Australia’s energy challenge,” he said. Originally published as Peter Dutton accuses CSIRO of ‘bagging’ nuclear plan after costly findingsWhile FaZe Clan won big at the 2024 Streamer Awards, it wasn’t without a little drama as actress Grace Van Dien took the stage and reignited her feud with the organization. Prior to FaZe Clan’s total reboot in April 2024, the organization was corporatized and lost much of its value on the market as a result. As part of the strategy in 2023, new members were brought in from other avenues not entirely related to the gaming or esports realms. One such member was Stranger Things actress Grace Van Dien. Though, before she was even officially announced, original members of FaZe took a dislike and voiced their displeasure on social media. What ensued was a n asty back-and-forth online, with the actress swiftly leaving the organization after tearful encounters with original members . Many other popular streamers spoke up in her defense given the ridicule she faced from founding figures in the crew. The feud has now been rekindled more than a year on, as the 2024 Streamer Awards set the table for another exchange between the parties. Presenting at the show, Van Dien took the stage and took the opportunity for a quick jab at FaZe. Grace Van Dien calls out FaZe Clan again “I am hard-stuck Bronze in every game I play, that’s why I was never accepted into FaZe, right guys?” Van Dien said. This comment came moments before she read out the best Creative Arts streamer award, which FaZe’s own Plaqueboymax won. “You heard how mad she was in her voice...” Banks chimed in on X hours later after the official FaZe X (formerly Twitter) account sarcastically spurred on the beef. “Couldn’t have done it without FaZe Grace.” Related: You heard how mad she was in her voice 😂... that might have to be your producer tag ngl @plaqueboymax “FaZe guys are so brave online but just stared and whispered whenever they saw me last night,” Grace added on her own X account. “Micro energy.” “Stop clinging onto our sh*t,” Banks responded. “Nobody knows you or gives a f*** about you. You tried to force your way into FaZe, you’re a f***ing cornball that none of us wanted and you’re still mad.” The back and forth has only continued since, with other members like Ronaldo chiming in too. Poking fun at at FaZe Kaysan’s viral flirting attempt, he suggested a dinner date with Van Dien to “fix” the situation. “No no no... not the FaZe boys, just us,” he joked. Let’s fix this grace, let me take you out to dinner. No no no... not the faze boys, just us. https://t.co/ykWRWS8LEL Hours after the feud reignited on social media, Van Dien has since deactivated her X account. Clearly, there’s no water under the bridge after all the drama from 2023. There’s still bitterness between the actress and the revamped FaZe team, who also took out the award for Best Content Organization of the year at the event.
