Families of the victims of the Oxford school shooting have lost their appeal regarding the liability of the school district in connection with the tragic event. The Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of the Oxford school district in a lawsuit that aimed to hold school employees partially accountable for the shooting, which resulted in the deaths of four students and injuries to several others.
Traffic will be prohibited on London’s Oxford Street as part of a new initiative announced by Mayor Sadiq Khan. This plan leverages new powers granted to Labour, allowing Khan to implement the long-discussed pedestrianisation of the iconic shopping area, despite previous opposition from Westminster council, which raised concerns about the impact on bus routes. Khan emphasized the need for immediate action to restore Oxford Street as a premier global retail destination. He believes that transforming the mile-long street into a pedestrian-friendly zone will enhance its appeal and vitality.
Who will succeed Lord Chris Patten as the next chancellor of Oxford University? With the election set for next month, around 250,000 university staff and alumni will cast their votes. As the current chancellor prepares to retire, several frontrunners have emerged, including a notable 'anti-woke' outsider.
Chris Patten, the outgoing chancellor of the University of Oxford, has criticized Peter Mandelson's suggestion that the university should appoint a non-Conservative chancellor. Patten described Mandelson's argument as "a sort of stupid argument" and labeled it a "real mistake" as he prepares to step down from his prestigious position. The election for Patten's successor has attracted a diverse group of candidates, including Labour's Lord Mandelson and former Conservative cabinet ministers William Hague and Dominic Grieve. Patten, a former Conservative MP and chair, emphasized that framing the election as a left-right issue is misguided.
**Championship: Norwich Dominates Hull as Burnley Fails to Claim Top Spot** Norwich City continued their impressive ascent in the Championship with a commanding 4-0 victory over Hull City at Carrow Road. Despite entering the match on the back of three consecutive wins, Hull struggled to keep up with a determined Norwich side that scored twice in each half, marking their fourth win in six matches. The home team quickly established dominance, netting two early goals through Marcelino Nunez and Josh Sargent, taking control of the game. Although Sargent missed a penalty later in the match, Norwich secured their comfortable win with goals from Kaide Gordon—who scored his first since joining on loan from Liverpool—and an eighth of the season from the Spanish winger Borja Sainz. In another match, Preston's goal was disallowed in a goalless Lancashire derby, leaving them frustrated as they sought to make an impact in the league.
