RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





The Princess Royal – aka Princess Anne – is set to turn 70 on 15 August, and ITV is marking the occasion with a documentary dedicated to the Queen’s only daughter, which airs tonight,

And we’ve already had a sneak peek of the programme, in which the Princess teaches the Queen how to use social media – in a sweet scene in which she helps the monarch make her first Zoom call during lockdown.

The documentary will also feature her talking frankly about her life growing up as a member of the Royal Family, and beyond.

How old is Princess Anne and who is she married to?

Princess Anne – whose full name is Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise – is the second eldest of the Queen and Prince Philip’s children – and is their only daughter.

She was born on 15 August 1950 at Clarence House, during the reign of her maternal grandfather King George VI.

At the time of her birth she was third in line to the throne behind her mother and her elder brother Prince Charles – but is now 14th in line, as of August 2019.

'Fix Your Bike' Vouchers Launch, as Cycling to Be Prescribed on NHS



RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





A government scheme offering £50 bike repair vouchers will launch in England on Tuesday as part of plans to boost cycling and walking.

An initial 50,000 vouchers will be made available online later in the day on a first-come, first-served basis.

The prime minister also announced that access to bikes will be available on the NHS as part of the strategy.

But Labour said many of the government's proposals were taking too long to come into effect.

It comes after the government launched its obesity strategy on Monday.

GPs in areas of England with poor health will be encouraged to prescribe cycling, with patients able to access bikes through their local surgery.

The idea is that GP surgeries will have a stock of bicycles to lend, with training, access to cycling groups and peer support.

In some cases, if they used them enough, patients would be allowed to keep them.

Recent Public Health England research found that being overweight or obese puts people at greater risk of serious illness or death from Covid-19.

Government statistics showed nearly 8% of critically ill patients in intensive care units with the virus have been morbidly obese, compared with 2.9% of the general population.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said cycling and walking have "a huge role to play" in tackling health and environmental challenges.

"But to build a healthier, more active nation, we need the right infrastructure, training and support in place to give people the confidence to travel on two wheels," he said.

"That's why now is the time to shift gears and press ahead with our biggest and boldest plans yet to boost active travel - so that everyone can feel the transformative benefits of cycling."

Amazon Takes on Supermarkets With Free Food Delivery


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





Amazon is ramping up its online grocery service with the aim of serving millions of shoppers across the UK by the end of 2020.

Online food sales have almost doubled during the pandemic with grocers struggling to keep up with demand.

Amazon is now after a bigger slice of this fast-growing market, which analysts say could increase pressure on rivals such as Ocado.

"It's extremely significant" says retail analyst, Richard Hyman.

"[Amazon] can be compelling, disruptive and it's a business with gigantic ambitions."

Amazon Fresh offers same or next-day grocery deliveries for customers in London and the Home Counties.

Shoppers have to subscribe to Amazon Prime to get it and users currently have to pay an additional monthly fee or a delivery charge per order. It has about 10,000 products including fresh, chilled and frozen food.

From Tuesday, this service will now be a free benefit to subscribers in these areas on orders above £40.

About 40 postcodes in Surrey will also have access to a faster offer, with a possible same-day delivery before midnight if you order by 21:00.

Amazon says it will roll out this quicker and unlimited free delivery grocery service to "multiple cities" by the end of this year. It's an ambitious move.

Anger Over Reimposing Quarantine for Travellers From Spain



RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





FOREIGN Secretary Dominic Raab said the UK Government will not apologise for reimposing strict quarantine rules at short notice on travellers returning from Spain.

Ministers announced on Saturday that holidaymakers who had not returned from Spain and its islands by midnight would be forced to quarantine for 14 days after Covid-19 second wave fears saw the European country struck off the UK’s safe list.

The sudden timing of the announcement was criticised by the travel sector and consumer rights groups but Raab said the Government was right to take “swift” action.

The quick turnaround caught out even Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, who is currently in Spain for his summer break and will join thousands of others in being forced to self-isolate for a fortnight on his return to Britain.

The decision was taken to suspend the so-called travel corridor with the UK’s most popular holiday destination after Spain recorded more than 900 fresh daily Covid-19 cases for two days running.

Raab told Sky News’ Sophy Ridge On Sunday programme: “The data we got was on the Friday, it showed a big jump right across mainland Spain. That was then assessed yesterday afternoon and we took the decision as swiftly as we could.

“And we can’t make apologies for doing so.

“We must be able to take swift, decisive action, particularly in relation to localised, or internationally in relation to Spain or a particular country, where we see we must take action.

NHS Flu Vaccination to be Extended to These Age Groups



RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





The NHS flu vaccination is set to be available to more people.

The government is aiming to double its winter flu vaccination programme in England to 30 million people this year.

It comes as experts are concerned about the impact of a double whammy of coronavirus cases and seasonal flu potentially overwhelming the NHS.

There are also worries that people could suffer both seasonal flu and Covid-19 at the same time.

Currently, the free jab against seasonal flu is for people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, people with certain conditions such as kidney disease, asthma or heart disease and carers or those in care homes.

Frontline health and social care workers are also eligible to receive the flu vaccine as well as children over six months with a long-term health condition, those aged two and three and those in primary school.

The government has now announced that this will be extended to those aged 50 and over and children who are aged 11 by the end of August this year (the first year of secondary school).

They will be vaccinated later in the year with the aim that all those eligible will have had their vaccine by Christmas.

Anyone living in a household with somebody on the NHS shielded patient list for Covid-19 will also be eligible for a free jab.

Health secretary Matt Hancock said: "It's mission critical that we pull out all the stops to get ready for winter, and the Prime Minister has already announced £3 billion to protect the NHS.

Kim Kardashian Breaks Silence on Kanye West’s Behaviour and Mental Health: ‘The Family is Powerless’


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





Kim Kardashian has broken her silence on her husband Kanye West’s behaviour, acknowledging that he is having a bipolar episode.

The 39-year-old has remained quiet since Kanye’s presidential campaign launch, during which he claimed that Kim considered an abortion while pregnant with her daughter North.

Since then, the 43-year-old has tweeted that he’s been trying to divorce Kim, and called his mother-in-law Kris Jenner a white supremacist.

Kim wrote on her Instagram stories: ‘As many of you know, Kanye has bipolar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how complicated and painful it is to understand. I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because of the stigma and misconceptions about mental health. 

‘Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor. People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgemental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.

‘I understand Kanye is subject to criticism because he is a public figure and his actions at times can cause strong opinions and emotions. He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressure being being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder.

Manchester Music Venues Deaf Institute and Gorilla Saved From Closure


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,



Two Manchester music venues have been saved from closure after a deal was agreed with help from gig promoters and one of the city's best-loved singers.

Mission Mars (MM), which runs Gorilla and The Deaf Institute, announced their closures on Thursday.

However, the sites have been bought by venue group Tokyo Industries (TI).

TI Founder Aaron Mellor said the group had put together "some great ideas" with SSD Concerts and The Charlatans' Tim Burgess "to help save both venues".

Burgess was one of a number of big names who took to social media after the initial closure announcement was made, stating that the venues were "the lifeblood of Manchester's vital network of venues".

He tweeted that he and the new owners would be "doing all we can to help with the next chapter".

In a joint statement, the two firms said terms had been agreed to save all jobs and continue operating the sites "in much the same way as they have done in the past".

The TI founder said it was "vital venues like Gorilla and The Deaf Institute are kept alive, [as] the cultural fabric of our city centres depends venues like these".

"Over the weekend, we have put together some great ideas with SSD Concerts and Tim Burgess to help save both venues and their existing operating style in a post-Covid world.

"We're not so keen on this 'new' normal and want to keep the 'old' normal alive for when we all get through this."
