Prince William spotted throwing 'amusing insult' by lip-reader during Euro 2024 finals, all you need to know
Prince William is as much a sports freak like you are. Not only he is an avid soccer lover, he also spearheads the management of England's FA, and also leads from the front while rooting for the national team. Prince William was as much invested in England's road to the Euro Cup 2024 finals, as the players and England boss Gareth Southgate were. A proof of his excitement and indulgence in the sport came in when a lip-reader caught him throwing an old-fashioned insult during a tense conversation around the Euro Cup finals, as England were battling to win against Spain, but ultimately failed to do so after an 86th minute goal by their formidable opponents.

Working on investment to support workers who would lose jobs at UK unit: Tata's N Chandrasekaran
Tata Steel is working with the UK government and unions to ensure an adequate level of investment for supporting skill development of workers who would be impacted due to the modernisation of its Port Talbot plant, according to the company's chairman N Chandrasekaran. As part of its decarbonisation plan, Tata Steel is shifting to a low-emission electric arc furnace (EAF) process from an ageing blast furnace at Port Talbot mill, resulting in job losses of around 2,500 people. Addressing the 117th Annual General Meeting of Tata Steel on Monday, Chandrasekaran said that the company recognises that this transformation is difficult from an execution perspective and also difficult for some of the employees who will not have a future with Tata Steel, especially in the UK. «The company is working with the government and with the unions to make sure that we do sufficient level of investment to be able to support them in their skill development so they can have a better future.

Attack on Donald Trump compared to Ronald Reagan's assassination attempt. Former Secret Service agent who saved Reagan said this
Donald Trump a security lapse? Though there is no foolproof security anywhere in the world, the question being asked is why it happened, and how it can be prevented in the future. Also, it was not the first assassination attempt on a former president or an incumbent one. Ronald Reagan was attacked in 1981 when he was the US president. Former Secret Service agent Tim McCarthy, who defended Reagan from a gunman, has compared the recent assassination attempt to the Reagan shooting. Talking to the local television channel 'WGN News', he said that it was a plain and simple security failure. He added that when President Regan was shot, that was also a failure.

AJ Bell calls on government to merge Cash and Stocks and Shares ISAs into single product
In a policy paper published today (15 July), the investment platform urged the new Labour government to create a single ISA product incorporating Cash ISAs, Stocks and Shares ISAs, Junior ISAs and Innovative Finance ISAs.

Mint Quick Edit | The attempt on Trump's life stands out
Campaigning to be elected US president again, Donald Trump had a narrow escape on Saturday as a bullet apparently aimed at him grazed his right ear, from which oozing blood was captured on camera as security officers formed a ring around him and whisked him to safety. It’s a relief that the attacker, identified as a 20-year-old local after he was killed by officers, missed his mark, although it’s tragic that an onlooker died and two others were grievously injured. That America has far too many guns around has long been obvious.
