The education secretary, James Cleverly, said: “Access to funding must not stand in the way of every school having on-site access to a life-saving defibrillator.
“The evidence clearly shows that defibrillators drastically increase the chance of survival from a cardiac arrest, and it’s particularly important that they are available close to sports halls and playing fields that children, young people and the wider community use on a daily basis.

There is a deeper crisis than the energy one, invisible, not addressed by signing an Algerian or Azerbaijani contract.
Germany is beginning to ration heating, electricity in the streets and water in swimming pools. It looks like news from 1942, but instead it is from 2022 and comes from the Financial Times.
Europe’s largest and richest country is running out of energy after Russia decided to cut gas supplies, causing prices to skyrocket and triggering the biggest crisis since 1973. “The situation is more than dramatic,” said Axel Gedaschko, head of the federation of German construction companies GdW. “The social peace of Germany is in grave danger”.
“Hamburg could ration hot water,” headlines Der Spiegel. Economy Minister Robert Habeck has appealed to the population to save energy and take shorter showers. Vonovia, a colossus of residential properties, lowers the temperature of the gas heating of its tenants between 11 pm and 6 am. The district of Lahn-Dill in Frankfurt has suspended hot water in its schools and gyms since mid-September, Düsseldorf closes a huge swimming pool complex, Berlin lowers the thermostat of outdoor pools and Cologne street lighting to 70 for one hundred starting at 11.00pm.
At least eight Democratic members of Congress share close ties to a nonprofit group that is now subject to discovery in a landmark federal civil lawsuit that seeks to hold the group financially liable for the terrorist slaying of an American teenager in 1996.
David Boim was 17 when members of Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, shot and killed him at a bus stop in the West Bank in 1996. Boim’s parents successfully sued a network of American-based Palestinian nonprofit groups in federal court for financing the terrorists that killed their son, and a federal judge ultimately awarded the family a $156 million judgment under the Anti-Terrorism Act following a jury trial in 2004.
On July 4, 2022, a Christian mechanic who had been imprisoned for the last five years, awaiting trial under a false accusation of “blasphemy” for allegedly insulting the Muslim prophet Muhammad, was sentenced to death by hanging in a Pakistani court.
Five years earlier, on June 5, 2017, Ashfaq Masih, 34, had gotten into a quarrel with Muhammad Naveen, a rival who had established a mechanics’ workshop near Masih’s. According to Masih’s not guilty plea, Muhammad “was jealous because my business was running better,” and, after their altercation, “threatened me with dire consequences.”
Former US President Donald Trump’s Covid adviser believes the virus could have leaked from a lab where it was being worked on by scientists.
Infectious diseases expert Dr Deborah Birx told The Mail on Sunday that coronavirus ‘came out of the box ready to infect’ when it emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2020. The adviser said most viruses take months or years to become highly infectious to humans. But, Dr Birx said, Covid ‘was already more infectious than flu when it first arrived’.
She said that meant Covid was either an ‘abnormal thing of nature’ or that Chinese scientists were ‘working on coronavirus vaccines’ and became infected.
The US has been cautious about sending equipment to Ukraine because it is worried that American weapons may be used in Russian territory
Ukraine moved closer to adding more modern American fighter jets to its air force this week after US lawmakers agreed to pay for pilots to be trained on F-15s and F-16s in the States.
The US Congress approved a Defence Authorisation Act this week that contained a $100 million amendment to help shift Ukraine’s military hardware away from its ageing Soviet-era technology, which currently includes MiG-29s and Sukhoi planes.
“Ukrainian pilots are going to be taught to fly F-15 and F-16 fighters in the USA,” Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian Presidential Administration, said on Saturday.

Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek told Breitbart News that her homeland is being used as a “pilot” for the Great Reset agenda.
In an interview with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow, Eva Vlaardingerbroek said that countries like Canada and the Netherlands are being used as staging grounds for the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other globalist elites to pursue their radical schemes to transform society.
A U.S. District Court in Tennessee has temporarily barred the Biden administration from enforcing a policy that would have required states to allow athletes who identify as transgender to play on the sports teams of the gender they identify with.
The Democrats are as sick minded as Trudeau’s LPC.
In April, Canadian-based fast-food chain Freshii came under intense scrutiny after the company pivoted to serving customers via ‘virtual cashiers’ based in other countries.
Instead of having a Canadian employee take customer orders, Freshii hired employees from Nicaragua, Bolivia and Pakistan to serve customers by screen, at starkly lower hourly wages to the tune of $3.75 US an hour. Of course, Ontario’s minimum wage is $15 an hour.
That horse has left the barn. If it can be automated or offshored it will be.
Hospital emergency departments in Canada have long struggled to provide expeditious care. But now, more than two years into the pandemic, many are showing signs of buckling, with lengthy wait times, and in some cases, closings.
The BBC has apologised for interviewing a transgender athlete who boasted about knocking women out, in a discussion about female-only sports.
Fallon Fox, an American former martial arts fighter, was invited onto BBC Radio 4’s Today programme last month after trans athletes were barred from women’s elite races if they have gone through male puberty.
MI5 and the FBI have issued a warning that would be devastating to ignore, writes Ian Williams
China’s first homegrown narrow-body passenger jet recently completed its debut test flight, a triumph of local innovation, according to China’s communist leaders. It is better described as a stolen plane, developed by plundering secrets from western aerospace companies on a breathtaking scale.
Chinese cyberspies from a group nicknamed “Turbine Panda” because of their targeting of aero-engine secrets have been indicted in absentia by the US justice department, while a top Chinese agent named Xu Yanjun was jailed last year after an FBI sting operation lured him to Belgium, ostensibly to meet a mole at the American company GE Aviation. According to Ken McCallum, the head of MI5, Xu’s “prolific” network has also been active in Britain. “MI5 worked with those being targeted in the UK.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lamented the cost of working as a member of Congress in an Instagram post despite her substantial congressional salary.
Members of Congress are required to occupy one residence in Washington, D.C., as well as one in the state from which they are representing, according to the New York Democrat. This leads to “class dynamics” within Congress and causes economic strains for those who struggle to afford two residences, she argued.
A Reuters Institute survey found that a rising number of people are avoiding the news or just don’t believe it
This might be just another negative news story. And if it is, there is evidence that many of you will turn away in despair.
The Reuters Institute revealed last month that 42% of Americans actively avoid the news at least some of the time because it grinds them down or they just don’t believe it. Fifteen percent said they disconnected from news coverage altogether. In other countries, such as the UK and Brazil, the numbers selectively avoiding it were even higher.
“In the United States, those who self-identify on the right are far more likely to avoid news because they think it is untrustworthy or biased, but those on the left are more likely to feel overwhelmed, carry feelings of powerlessness, or worry that the news might create arguments,” the institute said.
As the French withdraw from Mali, Russian mercenaries are taking their place – with deadly consequences
The Russian mercenary slowly went through the group of hundreds of prisoners with a stick. If a man’s beard was too long or his clothes too Islamic, he got a tap on the head. “He is a jihadist. Kill him,” the man said in Russian.
When enough people were selected, they were marched to a nearby building and shot. There was nowhere to hide in the arid scrub around Moura village, in central Mali. The white men had come in on helicopters with government soldiers and translators. If locals tried to run, they would be gunned down in seconds.
“They didn’t even take the time to tie their hands or blindfold them. They just executed them. Some even while they were still walking. One bullet and that was it,” said Muhammad, a 29-year-old driver and one of the prisoners who survived and witnessed the entire thing.
