The country's graveyards and cemeteries are close to capacity, and Britain is running out of places to bury our dead. The "death care sector" is "creaking" as it struggles to keep up with the steadily increasing death rate "of an ageing population", said The Telegraph , and officials are being forced to consider ever more "unpalatable" solutions. 'Disturb human remains' In 2021, The Times predicted that cemeteries in a quarter of local councils would be full in "10 years or less" , while "almost one in six" councils would have full cemeteries within five years. And, last week, The Telegraph confirmed that burial space is already "running out" across England and Wales, with "anecdotal evidence" suggesting that pandemic pressures have only "exacerbated the issue". And cremation is not the obvious solution it might seem: although 78% of of British funerals are cremations, said BBC Science Focus , many relatives "like the idea of having somewhere to visit to pay their respects, remember and mourn the dead", so "ashes are often buried or interred". The Law Commission has called Britain's burial laws "outdated, piecemeal and complex" and is considering "the reuse and reclaiming of all types of burial grounds", said The Telegraph. Back in March, Bishop's Stortford became the "first town outside London" to permit graves on non-consecrated land to be re-used. Defending the controversial move to "disturb human remains", a spokesperson said that if the council had "done nothing and nature had taken its course, within 12 years there would be no space left" in the town for people to be buried. Graves can currently only be reused "if they are at least 75 years old". But the graves of people who died such a long time ago "tend not to get many visitors", said BBC Science Focus , so the recently deceased "can be laid to rest on top with very little fuss". As well as saving space, this approach, which is "commonplace in Germany", means families can be buried in the same graveyards – a "final request that is increasingly difficult to honour". Squeamishness won't help Meanwhile, other problems in the death care sector are also creating capacity issues above ground. Difficulty securing time slots at crematoria and delays in an "under-resourced" coroner service mean families are waiting longer for their loved one's body to be buried or cremated, said The Telegraph. This means bodies have to be stored somewhere above ground for longer periods. Last year, "almost half of the funeral directors in England" warned that their storage capacity for deceased people was "under pressure". The system is "stretched to the point of bursting", Deborah Smith, from the National Association of Funeral Directors, told the paper. A reluctance to talk about death risks letting things get worse, said The Telegraph. Our "instinctive squeamishness" about "discussing the business of dealing with the dead" won't help solve the problems the sector is facing.Duke's Diaz: QB Murphy faces internal discipline for raising middle fingers in Virginia Tech win

‘Selection process to be in line with plans for governance’ Mumbai: Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Sunday said leaders of the ruling Mahayuti alliance and the BJP leadership will decide who will be the next chief minister of the state. Addressing a press conference here, Bawankule said all sections of the society supported the BJP in the Maharashtra assembly polls and rejected the Congress. He pointed out that the Congress’ state unit chief Nana Patole managed to win with a wafer thin margin of around 200 votes in Sakoli seat. The BJP-led Mahayuti, which also comprises the Shiv Sena of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and NCP of deputy CM Ajit Pawar, on Saturday retained power in the state by bagging 230 of the 288 assembly seats. The Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi’s dream of wresting power fizzled, with the Opposition combine managing to garner just 46 seats. The BJP bagged 132 seats, the Shiv Sena won 57, while the NCP got 41 seats. In the MVA, the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) candidates won 10 seats, Congress won 16, while Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) won 20 seats. Answering a query on the state’s next chief minister, Bawankule said the decision would be taken by the Mahayuti leaders and the BJP’s parliamentary board. The selection process would be in line with the alliance’s plans for governance, he added. The people of Maharashtra have “rejected” the Congress and Patole should pay heed to some of his own colleagues who have been seeking his resignation as the state party chief, Bawankule said. The Congress’ “lies” during the poll campaign were to blame for no party getting enough seats to stake claim for the post of leader of Opposition in the assembly. Notably, the Mahayuti’s landslide in Maharashtra will leave the state assembly without a leader of Opposition as no party outside the ruling alliance has been able to get the mandatory minimum 29 seats. “The mandate of the people in this assembly election is against Congress. Having no leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra legislative assembly is the karma of Congress,” Bawankule said. Bawankule referred to the Congress’ previous successes, particularly in the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year, claiming the Opposition party had been misleading the people. “The Congress succeeded in fooling the people during the Lok Sabha campaign, but it failed to repeat that success in this assembly election,” he said. The Maharashtra BJP chief said the party plans to launch a major membership drive in the state. “Our goal is to enrol 1.51 crore primary members. We want individuals active in the social and religious sectors to join. This will aid in expanding our membership. The newly inducted members will gain insight into government schemes and policies, thereby fortifying our presence in the state,” he said. Asked about Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani’s reported appeal to Muslims to vote for the MVA and his subsequent apology, Bawankule said some individuals tried to divide society on religious lines to target the BJP. “These tactics appeared to have worked in their (Opposition) favour in the Lok Sabha polls. But when the public recognised that the Congress had aligned itself with such divisive figures to hinder the BJP’s return to power, their sentiments shifted. The efforts of the Congress and other opposition parties fell flat,” he said.VAR goes down in Man United's clash at Ipswich for six minutes - including when hosts equalised - after a fire 110 miles away at Stockley Park A fire alarm at Stockley Park led to Man United's clash with Ipswich being halted Ipswich netted during VAR's six minute outage, but the goal wasn't controversial Will Ruben Amorim be Man United's saviour?

Stockley Park, which is 110 miles away from Ipswich's home stadium Portman Road, is where the Premier League 's video assistant referees make VAR decisions remotely, communicating with on-field officials over the course of each match. The fire alarm, which went off in the 37th minute while United were leading Ipswich 1-0, caused the game to pause temporarily. Captains Bruno Fernandes and Sam Morsy were called to the middle by match referee Anthony Taylor, who explained the situation before deciding to carry on with his assistants Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn - and without the use of VAR. Moments later, Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson levelled the scoreboard with a stunning strike in the 43rd minute. The new Manchester United boss can have no complaints with the superb equaliser, at least as far as VAR is concerned, as there was no contentious issue for the video technology to review, had it been working.

VAR was back up and running after Hutchinson's celebration, leading to the two sides heading in 1-1 at the break. Fans reacted mockingly to VAR's outage on social media. 'Best league in the world,' one fan posted disparagingly on X. 'Amazing news,' a second added. 'Is this a joke?' another said, accompanying his post with a crying emoji. Referencing the famous chant often heard on the terraces on matchday, a fourth said mockingly: 'Is there a fire drill?' Shortly after the initial stoppage, a statement from the Premier League Match Centre said on social media platform X: 'The match will be operating without VAR until further notice due to a fire alarm at the VAR Hub at Stockley Park.' Omari Hutchinson (right) scored the stunning equaliser while VAR was down for six minutes Fans poured to social media to mock the incident, as one labelled the outage 'amazing news' Marcus Rashford, who had been trusted by Amorim to lead the line for United, opened the scoring early on with a smart tap-in, making the Portuguese manager only the second permanent boss in Premier League history to score inside two minutes during his first match in charge. The other, who also managed Manchester United earlier in his career, was David Moyes who achieved the feat with Everton back in 2002. Manchester United were 13th in the Premier League table upon Amorim's arrival at Old Trafford, having slipped as low as 14th before the sacking of former manager Erik ten Hag. Club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy was instilled as the Red Devils' interim boss and underwent an undefeated run before Amorim opted to relieve him of his coaching duties upon arriving in Manchester.

But they did just enough to outlast the mistake-prone Houston Texans and get their first AFC South win of the season. Levis threw for 278 yards and his 70-yard touchdown pass to Chig Okonkwo put Tennessee on top in the fourth quarter and the Titans held on for the 32-27 victory. “The coolest thing about this game was just the way our team fought,” coach Brian Callahan said. “It was a back-and-forth game. Our guys did a good job of not flinching and keeping the blinders on. We’ve been in games like this before, and we haven’t been able to make a play, but this week, we made a play.” Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled for the touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 91⁄2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. The Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. Callahan held both hands in the air and smiled after watching the miss that allowed his team to win on a day it had three turnovers. The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked C.J. Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. Stroud threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions as the AFC South-leading Texans lost for the third time in four games. Stroud has thrown five interceptions combined in the past three games to give him more interceptions in 12 games this season (nine) than he had in 15 games as a rookie last season (five). “It’s no secret that I haven’t been playing well... I’ve got to be harder on myself,” he said. “I’m not going to hold my head down. I know I can be a great player, but I’ve got to make better plays.” Jimmie Ward had a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter and the Texans tied a franchise record with eight sacks. Danielle Hunter led the group with a season-high three sacks and Will Anderson Jr. added two in his return after missing two games with an ankle injury. But the offense sputtered for most of the game as Joe Mixon was held to 22 yards on 14 carries. “Just a disappointing loss for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We didn’t do anything well enough to win this game. Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives.” It was Tennessee's first win of the season in a game that Levis both started and finished. The second-year player missed three games this year with a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder. “I’m really proud of Will,” Callahan said. “He’s done a lot of things to get himself back in the right place, mentally and physically. It was a really good performance.” Levis knows he can be better, but was happy to leave Houston with a victory in this difficult season. “It feels awesome,” he said. “A lot of people have been working really hard to get a win like this. I’m just happy for the organization, top down.” Tennessee extended the lead to 23-17 on a 51-yard field goal by Nick Folk with nine minutes left in the third. Stroud threw his second interception with about 90 seconds left in the third quarter but Ward’s touchdown came three plays later to put the Texans on top 24-23. The Titans fumbled a punt early in the fourth quarter and Houston recovered it. A 54-yard field goal by Fairbairn extended the lead to 27-23 with about 10 minutes to go. Dameon Pierce returned the opening kickoff 80 yards to get the Texans in the red zone. Houston cashed in on the next play when Stroud found rookie Cade Stover on a 19-yard pass for his first touchdown reception. The Titans trailed by four after a field goal by Folk when Nick Westbrook-Ikhine got in front of the defense and was wide open for a 38-yard TD catch that made it 10-7 late in the first quarter. Tennessee extended the lead to 17-7 when Tony Pollard ran 10 yards for a touchdown with about 11 minutes left in the second. Pollard finished with 119 yards and a touchdown. Nico Collins scored on a 5-yard reception with about six minutes left in the second. Levis levis lost a fumble with about 3 1/2 minutes left and the Texans added a 28-yard field goal to tie it at 17-17. Houston forced a punt after that, but rookie Jarvis Brownlee Jr. got his first career interception two plays later to give Tennessee the ball back. Folk’s 56-yard field goal, which tied his career long, put the Titans up 20-17 at halftime. The Titans were without cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, after he was placed on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury, and safety Amani Hooker, who was added to the injury report Sunday morning with an illness. Callahan said Hooker was vomiting “every time he stood up” Sunday. ... Houston S Jalen Pitre injured his shoulder in the second quarter and didn’t return. ...

The new LNP government claims Cross River Rail will cost more than $17 billion and not be ready until 2029. Labor had promised Cross River Rail would be delivered with a budget of $5.4 billion, with most construction finished by 2025 and passenger services starting in 2026. But the LNP says when finished, the tunnel must be independently certified by the National Safety Regulator, which would take at least two years, and also pointed the finger at lost workdays due to industrial action. The government says $5 billion was “hidden” and included integration works to connect the tunnel with the existing rail network, stabling to park the trains, a new signalling system, buses to carry passengers while stations and tracks were being built, and additional maintenance equipment. But opposition transport spokesman Bart Mellish accused Transport Minister Brent Mickelberg of “cooking the books”. “No government, business or person has included the cost of maintenance for the life of an asset when calculating the cost to build the project,” he said. “It’s also concerning that the new government isn’t committed to a 2026 opening of the project. “Also, adding the cost of buses to be used across the whole of south-east Queensland to the project is also laughable.” In a first for the state, Logan City Council has rolled out AI-powered surveillance systems at a town pool to safeguard against drowning. The technology at Gould Adams Park Aquatic Centre uses cameras focused on the pool to identify signs of struggle in the water, then sends real-time alerts on smart watches worn by lifeguards. Mayor Jon Raven said the alert system would give “greater peace of mind” to swimmers. “For those in our community who can’t swim or are not confident in the water – this could help save someone’s life,” he said. “While there’s no replacement for adequate supervision from parents, caregivers and lifeguards, this technology will be an extra layer of safety around pools.” The council said the cameras only detected generic behaviours, and could not capture facial or body imagery. It expected to continue rolling out the technology to other pools it managed across the next few years. Debate has kicked off in Queensland parliament over the government’s youth justice bill, with Labor trying – and failing – to have key parts delayed until early next year. Shadow attorney-general Meaghan Scanlon moved opposition amendments after the dinner break last night to address many stakeholders’ concerns about consultation lasting just days, and adverse outcomes. The amendments, voted down by the LNP and Katter’s Australian Party, would have returned more than a dozen clauses for “full and proper examination” by a committee. “While we acknowledge the outcome of the election and the policy that was taken to it by the LNP, that policy was in slogan and infancy form at best,” Scanlon said. Attorney-General Deb Frecklington accused Labor of simply trying to delay the laws and “laughing about victims ... about the people of Queensland who want to be safe in their homes over Christmas”. “All they want to do with this amendment is say to the people of Queensland, ‘Be afraid over Christmas. Be afraid on Boxing Day.’” Debate resumes today, with the bill set to pass by 5.30pm on Thursday with what Frecklington described as “technical amendments”, yet to be detailed, she would introduce to “strengthen and clarify the bill”. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered an extended defence of his response to antisemitism, in the wake of the terror attack on the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne on Friday, and the vandalism in Sydney this morning. Facing criticism from the Coalition, including Liberal senator Jane Hume’s accusation that he had “emboldened and enabled” antisemtic crimes”, the prime minister detailed his initial response to the Adass synagogue firebombing. [On Friday], I’d been briefed by the AFP. I’d rung in to ... ABC Melbourne and responded publicly. We put out a statement. I’d spoken to Josh Burns, I’d spoken to Mr Spiegelman. I’d spoken to other Jewish community leaders as well. I visited a synagogue in Perth. On Saturday evening, we received a request for additional security funding, because the $20 million we had provided was almost expended. On Sunday morning, less than 24 hours later, I responded with support for $32.5 million of additional funding.” He continued that on Monday the National Security Committee met, and the authorities formally declared the firebombing an act of terrorism. The AFP operation Avalite was then formed and announced at a press conference. Albanese also pointed to other responses including the “landmark” ban on the Nazi salute and hate symbols, and the appointment of Jillian Segal as the special envoy to combat antisemitism. “We criminalised doxxing, something that was called for, but which unfortunately, the opposition voted against,” Albanese said. “We now have legislation before the parliament to criminalise hate speech, including the urging or threatening, of course, or violence against other individuals or groups because of who they are and what their beliefs are.” Bringing the man believed to have seriously scalded a Brisbane baby with hot coffee to justice will likely be a “slow burn” after he escaped to an unknown country. The suspect reportedly came up behind a young mother at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner about midday on August 27, and tipped the contents of a Thermos on her nine-month-old boy before running away. Four days later – and just hours before investigators say they confirmed his identity – the man flew out of Sydney Airport to an unknown country. “That remains an active investigation, so you know that may well be a slow burn,” Queensland Police Commissioner Steve Gollschewski told Brisbane Times yesterday. When asked for a rough time frame, he said it would be inappropriate to comment. “I can’t speculate on that. It’ll depend on the offender and our ability to identify, locate and bring him back to justice.” Labor Minister Clare O’Neil says reports that claimed the prime minister was heckled on his visit to the Adass synagogue in Melbourne on Tuesday were overblown. In an interview on Seven’s Sunrise , it was put to O’Neil that people yelled phrases at Anthony Albanese including “You’re late” and “Nice day for tennis,” referring to the tennis match Albanese played in Perth the day after the firebombing of the synagogue. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited the Adass Israel synagogue on Tuesday. Credit: Justin McManus “I’d just say I saw some of the reporting of that, I think, you know, some of those people weren’t even from that local community,” O’Neil said. “I was actually at the Adass synagogue a little bit later that afternoon speaking to members of the community. People were grateful that the prime minister was there, they were pleased to have him there and of course to see him make that commitment to help rebuild the synagogue there and to invest to try to rescue those sacred Torahs that have been damaged in the fire.” O’Neil said that while she was “sure there angry and upset people”, she did not think that was the “universal experience of having the PM there”. “The PM, in my view, has shown real leadership, he’s come to the synagogue, done the things people want a prime minister to do, he has made that commitment to rebuild the synagogue, has set up this task force to show we’re cracking down on any of this behaviour.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has responded to the antisemitic vandalism in Sydney’s east, the second time the suburb of Woollahra has been targeted in a month. Albanese said the incident was an “outrage” and “another antisemitic attack”. He said he would be briefed by the Australian Federal Police’s Operation Avalite, the task force that was assembled this week in response to the Adass Israel Synagogue terror attack in Melbourne on Friday. “I stand with the Jewish community and unequivocally condemn this attack. There is no place for hatred or antisemitism in our community.” Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke also posted a statement to X, calling the attack an “abhorrent attempt to intimidate our Jewish community”. “It will not be successful,” Burke wrote.
