Starmer backs bid to bring 2029 World Athletics Championships to London
On Saturday, with London set to host a sold-out Diamond League event, Sir Keir confirmed he would support a bid for the championships and World Para Athletics Championships. He said: 'Bringing the World Athletics Championships to the UK would be a moment of great national pride, building on our global reputation for hosting memorable sporting events that showcase the very best talent.' Sir Keir Starmer said hosting the championships would be 'a moment of great national pride' (Justin Tallis/PA) If successful, the 2029 event would be the first time the World Athletics Championships had taken place in London since 2017. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said the Government would provide 'significant' financial backing for the bids, subject to there being funding from other sources. It will also look to bid for the World Para Athletics Championships to be held outside London, with a host city to be announced later. Sir Keir said hosting the championships 'would not only unlock opportunities for UK athletes but it would inspire the next generation to get involved and pursue their ambitions'. He added: 'The event would provide a boost for UK businesses and support jobs as well as bring our communities together.' Double world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson welcomed the Government's commitment to the bid (Adam Davy/PA) Jack Buckner, chief executive of UK Athletics, welcomed the Prime Minister's commitment, saying hosting the events would 'drive the sport on to new heights' in the UK. Athletes also welcomed the announcement. Olympic medallist and 1,500m world champion Josh Kerr said taking part in the 2017 championships had 'lit a fire in me'. Double heptathlon world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson said it would 'show what British athletics is all about', while para-athlete Zak Skinner said hosting the World Para Athletics Championships 'would be a huge statement — not just for our athletes, but for the next generation watching in the stands or at home'. A successful bid would add two more events to the string of sporting championships to be hosted in the UK in the next five years, including this year's Women's Rugby World Cup, the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup in 2026, Euro 2028 and the Men's T20 Cricket World Cup in 2030. This year's championships will take place in Tokyo, while the 2027 edition will be hosted by Beijing.

Spend of €1 million on eight advisers to Taoiseach
Over €1 million will be spent this year on paying the wages of the Taoiseach's eight political and media advisers. The Department of Public Expenditure has made public the details of the salaries. Advertisement Taoiseach Micheál Martin currently has eight special advisers including his deputy secretary and assistant secretary. All eight are being paid over €100,000 annually. The yearly bill for the Taoiseach's eight advisers comes to just over €1 million. The highest paid is his deputy secretary, who is on over €210,000 per year. For comparison, the highest paid special adviser in the UK is Cork native Morgan McSweeney. The chief of staff for UK prime minister Keir Starmer is paid €185,000 per year. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín said those at the top of Government are out of touch. "This is outrageous. Why does the Taoiseach need eight special advisers? These salaries are higher than their British counterparts. "One year of special advisers' salaries for the Taoiseach is three times the amount of the cost of the bicycle shed and it's ongoing, it's happening every single year. "I think that cavalier attitude towards taxpayers' money is evident right at the top of the Government, and I think there needs to be change."

India to issue climate risk disclosure rules for banks in the next few months, sources say
July 18 (Reuters) - India's central bank is close to finalising rules for banks and financial institutions to disclose and manage risks from climate change, three sources aware of the matter said. The move runs counter to several top global banks including JP Morgan, Citibank, Morgan Stanley and HSBC, which have decided to scale back their climate commitments with the re-election of climate-sceptic U.S. President Donald Trump being seen as a trigger. Getting a better idea of how, and to what extent, money is flowing to green investments is a central part of global efforts to move to a low-carbon economy, with countries from the UK to Japan making such disclosures mandatory. The Indian central bank's norms, which have been in the works since 2022, are expected to ask banks and financial institutions to make regular disclosures about climate-related risks in their loan portfolios along with mitigation strategies and targets, the sources said. The disclosures are likely to be on a voluntary basis from fiscal year 2027 and then mandatory from fiscal year 2028. India's financial year runs from April till March. Banks will also be asked to conduct periodic stress tests to gauge the impact of adverse climate events such as floods, heatwaves and cyclones on borrowers and the economy, based on a guidance note which the central bank is also likely to issue soon, the sources added. All three sources requested anonymity as they are not authorised to speak with media. The RBI did not respond to an email from Reuters. The central bank's decision to move forward with the rules has not been previously reported. The Reserve Bank of India has previously recognised climate change as a source of major financial concern, and released a draft standard disclosure framework in February 2024 for public feedback. 'The signal from the central bank based on recent meetings is that the detailed norms are almost finalised and are expected very soon,' the first source said. Many banks have already started collating data and setting targets to meet the disclosure standards, the source said. Some large banks have put out tenders to bring in climate consultants to help them with the disclosures, according to public documents. The RBI's decision to move ahead with climate disclosures for its banks comes soon after India released a draft framework aimed at facilitating a greater flow of resources to climate-friendly sectors. India is also gearing up to publish a new national emissions-reduction target ahead of the next round of global climate talks in Brazil in November. India, the world's third largest polluter behind China and the United States, currently aims to achieve a net zero emissions target by 2070. As part of the central bank's climate disclosure rules, banks will be required to calculate gross emissions of borrowers and disclose this information by asset classes and industries, according to the draft norms. Such disclosures are expected to be included in their financial statements. Separately, the central bank has also shared a 52-page draft note with large banks, a copy of which Reuters has reviewed, prescribing a methodology to forecast and analyse the impact of adverse climate events as well as transition risks on borrowers' ability to repay loans. The transition risks are those which emerge from the changing consumer behaviour, policy and technology changes, as the world moves towards a low-carbon economy, as per the note. While banks are preparing to disclose climate risk embedded in their loan portfolios, they do not expect these disclosures to impact loan pricing in the short term. "As of now we don't have enough granular data to reliably price in these risks in our portfolios, but the long-term approach could be in that direction," said the second source, who is a banker at a state-owned lender.
