Anna Moorhouse ready to step up after Mary Earps' shock exit
By James Reid Anna Moorhouse insists her role hasn't changed after the shock retirement of Mary Earps – but is confident she is ready to step up to the plate if required this summer. Moorhouse received her first call-up to the Lionesses squad last summer has been a regular in Sarina Wiegman's squad since. Advertisement The Orlando Pride keeper is yet to make her international debut, but 30-year-old is confident her experience elsewhere will stand her in good stead should the call come. 'My role doesn't change that much but I probably have to be a little bit more prepared in case something does happen,' she said, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'I was always prepared for that. 'I would love to get that first cap, it is something I have dreamed of for so many years. I will be ready if it comes, if it doesn't, I will still be ready and I will prepare Hannah in the right way. 'I have a lot of experience that comes with age, seeing so many games and being in different countries, different situations.' Advertisement Moorhouse will head to Switzerland fresh from the regular NWSL season where her Orlando Pride side are attempting to defend the title they won last November. 'It makes it easier, especially for a goalkeeper,' she added. 'You don't get 10 minutes here, a couple of minutes there. You have to be ready for a full 90 or nothing. 'It helps that if I am called upon, I will be fresh and in the mentality of playing games, so I have that rhythm. My season should be peaking by the time the competition comes around.' England head to Switzerland this summer (imagecomms) Should Moorhouse take the pitch this summer, it will be just reward for a path less taken to the top. Advertisement The 30-year-old has never represented her country at any age group and spent time in Bordeaux before establishing herself as a top-class No.1 stateside. 'It just shows you don't know how close you are, you don't know when things are going to happen,' she reflected. 'A lot of players have the traditional route through the age groups; I have never played for England. 'It just shows that everyone is on their own path, you can't look at other people and compare yourself to them. If you keep working hard, it could happen. 'This time last year, I didn't even know England were interested. I am just going with it and enjoying the time I have. I know I don't have 10 years of playing ahead of me.' The Lionesses are looking to defend their title this summer (imagecomms) The Lionesses will play their part in huge a summer of sport, with rugby's Red Roses and the England women's cricket side also taking on major tournaments. Advertisement LG is helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs and with all of the Lionesses' matches on free-to-air TV, Moorhouse knows first-hand the importance of making sport available to all. 'Growing up we didn't have all the subscriptions, so any game on BBC or ITV was on – it didn't matter what game it was,' she said. 'Being able to watch on TV makes it so much more accessible.' Members of the two England women's teams caught up with LG at St George's Park recently as part of the leading TV manufacturer's ongoing partnership with The FA and the RFU. The LG All In Pledge encourages people to engage and watch women's sport. Together we can grow support through fandom and audience numbers to inspire new players to pick up the sport themselves, as watching changes everything. For more information, go to

Fran Jones hopes Eastbourne Open run will help Wimbledon chances
By James Reid Fran Jones hopes a deep run at the LTA's Lexus Eastbourne Open can help her build plenty of momentum ahead of Wimbledon. Jones made the perfect start to her preparations with a 6-4 7-5 win over world No.70 Greet Minnen on the south coast to advance to the second round of the WTA 250 event in blustery conditions. Advertisement It was a significant victory for the Oxenhope star, who is now eyeing up a place in the world's top 100 for the first time. A strong run at Eastbourne would likely put her on the cusp and be the ideal build-up to Wimbledon, where she has a main draw wildcard. But Jones insisted she is just focussing on each game as it comes, with either Magda Linette or Dayana Yastremska, both top 50 players, waiting in the next round before a potential clash with compatriot Sonay Kartal in the third round. 'Conditions are challenging here but that is for every player, so I don't overthink it that much,' she said. Advertisement 'I just try and use my virtues to the best of my ability. I am really content to get through it, it's another match on the grass, another win at Tour level. I am just trying to keep my momentum. 'Every match I get through is positive for me, that's all I care about. Everything feels good, I have just got to look after myself with the right recovery.' The hard-fought contest took almost two hours as both players battled the wind on the south coast. Jones was not the only British player who prevailed amidst the winds, as Dan Evans beat Miomir Kecmanovic to progress to the second round of the men's singles. Advertisement Evans fought back from a set down to triumph 3-6 6-4 6-4 and was pleased to land another strong victory following his win over Frances Tiafoe at Queen's last week. 'Considering the conditions, I thought it was a very good level match. The last set was a little difficult because it was getting windier and windier. 'I am just happy to get another win. I am not so interested on how it is, I am just trying to compete because I haven't been playing much at this level in the last couple of years which has been difficult.' In the women's doubles, Kartal teamed up with Jodie Burrage for a winning start as they defeated American duo Hailey Baptiste and Peyton Stearns 6-3 3-6 10-6 while Harriet Dart and Maia Lumsden beat Sabrina Santamaria and Angelica Moratelli 6-3 6-2. Advertisement There was also a win for second seeds Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in the men's doubles, as they eased past Andre Goransson and Sem Verbeek 6-3 6-4.

Job fears mount as oil and gas firms cut North Sea spending
Concerns have intensified amid the plunge in oil and gas prices that has followed Mr Trump's decision to impose tariffs on more than 50 countries. Brent crude fell from $75 per barrel on the day he announced the plan in April to a four-year low of $58.60/bbl a week later. The price has fluctuated wildly since as the president has appeared to amend his plans on the hoof in response to the concerns of politicians and investors around the world. Brent crude rose 3%, to $65.76/bbl, in morning trading after the US and China agreed a deal to reduce tariffs for 90 days. However, uncertainty about Mr Trump's longer-term intentions could weigh on the global economy for months. Members of the Opec+ exporters group, which includes Saudi Arabia and Russia, added to the pressure on crude prices last week when they agreed to increase output significantly. Signs that the market ructions will have a damaging impact on the North Sea have become increasingly clear. Last week one of the biggest producers in the North Sea, Harbour Energy, announced plans to shed 250 jobs in a move it said would result in at least a 25% reduction in headcount. The Aberdeen-based group highlighted market volatility and said it was taking mitigating actions to offset the impact of lower commodity prices. It also cited the impact of fiscal and regulatory uncertainty in the UK. The Labour Government increased the rate of the windfall tax in October and has said it will not issue exploration licences covering new areas. The regulatory assessment process for new field developments is under review. James Reid, senior research analyst at the Wood Mackenzie energy consultancy said uncertainty about the outcome of that review was deterring firms from investing in pre-production projects. A consultation process regarding the North Sea fiscal regime ended last month. READ MORE: Just Transition furore reignited as SNP Government flunders READ MORE: North Sea giant plans $500m investor payouts amid slump fears Mr Reid said a range of firms say they have hoppers of opportunities that they want to get after but won't move until supportive fiscal and environmental regimes are in place. Harbour axed 350 jobs in Aberdeen in 2023 a move it blamed on the introduction of the windfall tax by the former Conservative Government. Other significant North Sea players have found their plans unravelling since Mr Trump dropped his tariff bombshell. On March 7 Serica Energy and EnQuest announced they were in talks about combining their operations in a move they said would provide a platform for growth in the area. Early this month, however, the companies abandoned the talks. 'In light of current market volatility an agreement on terms that would have been in the best interests of shareholders was not possible at this time,' said Serica. The ending of the talks left question marks hanging over both firms. The deal would have been structured as a takeover of Serica and may have been seen as signalling that the company's directors were ready to listen to offers. Shares in Serica have risen strongly since the deal talks ended. EnQuest shares have fallen. Mr Reid at Wood Mackenzie said some firms might decide that the current uncertainty creates opportunities in what would probably be seen as a buyers' market. Viaro Energy has shown it has the appetite to acquire and invest in North Sea assets in recent months. The fall in commodity prices could give fresh impetus to a process of upheaval in the North Sea which looks set to have a transformational impact on the operations of majors in the area. In December Shell and Equinor agreed to combine their North Sea operations, months after Eni and Ithaca Energy agreed a similar deal. BP has yet to respond as it looks to fend off reported bid interest. With chief executive Murray Auchincloss under pressure to boost BP's flagging share price, giants are thought to be mulling bids for the firm. The FT reported that Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies and AdNoc of Abu Dhabi have been running the rule over BP, citing unnamed industry sources and advisers. A takeover of BP could result in huge job losses in the North Sea and Aberdeen. Any acquirer would expect to achieve significant cost synergies. Even if BP escapes the attention of predators the firm will likely step up efforts to cut spending. Shell chief executive Wael Sawan has highlighted the potential to use AI to help reduce the number of people it needs to complete projects. The impact of the consolidation process will be felt across the wider supply chain, which is already being squeezed. One of Scotland's leading oil services firms is facing a crucial week amid the prospect that it could soon surrender its independence. Wood group is the subject of a £240m takeover bid by Sidara of Abu Dhabi, which has until 5pm on Thursday May 15 to decide whether it will make a firm offer. Sidara decided to walk away after making a £1.5bn bid in August last year. The outcome of Sidara's latest deliberations is likely being awaited anxiously by around 4,500 people working in the North Sea operations that Wood runs mainly out of Aberdeen. Last month Wood directors said they would recommend that shareholders accept an offer on the 35p per share terms proposed.

Seattle airport traffic is a work of art
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport might be best known for its crowds and connections, but look a little closer, and you'll see sky traffic turn into art.
