NEW poll has revealed that 56 percent of Britons might be living with high blood pressure without knowing. What’s worse, leaving this condition untamed could hike your risk of life-threatening emergencies such as heart attacks and strokes. Fortunately, there are some signs that could help identify the culprit.

The biggest night in UK music opened in grand style with the biggest star from the biggest musical movie on top a mountain of red jackets. It may be a ceremony to celebrate pop music, but the Greatest Showman soundtrack has dominated music charts around the world throughout 2018. Jackman performed The Greatest Show, just one of his numbers from the smash-hit movie. British fans will have another chance to see him do all this and much more when he returns to the O2 Arena plus major shows in Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester in just a few months. 

Hugh Jackman – The Man. The Music. The Show. Tour (yes, that is the rather dramatic way it is punctuated) will see the Tony Award-winning musicals legend take to the stage in Manchester, Birmingham and London in May 2019.

He will be accompanied by a live orchestra and give fans exactly what they want with a roof-raising array of songs from The Greatest Showmen, as well as his other huge box office musical smash, Les Miserables. 

Fans should probably expect a tune or two from Oklahoma. Jackman made his UK musicals debut in the classic show back in 1998. 

It was the moment he was introduced to the world as a budding star of stage AND screen.

The talented star also won a Tony Award in 2004 for his lead role in The Boy From Oz, the musical based on the life and music of Peter Allen.

Among many other recordings, Jackman performed on the soundtrack for animated film Happy Feet.

In spite of the bloodshed and upheaval, she quickly learned these Syrians hadn’t lost hope. As she walked into a classroom, she caught one teacher in fits of laughter as the class clown explained to him the meaning of diversity: “My cousin always gets good grades and I always get bad ones …”

The class is being taught as a way of building peace. It’s one of several efforts by various organizations to start planning for a Syria no longer at war, in neighboring countries like Lebanon and within Syria itself. Lamb went on to ask another Syrian organizer, Why now? A fair question — at the time the third iteration of international Geneva peace talks on Syria were around the corner, and the country was a complex battleground involving proxy elements and a violent ISIS. To date, the future of Syria is precarious, even if the war ends and the government remains in power. But in thinking about that positive future, Syria doesn’t appear to be alone.

According to an unprecedented survey by International Alert, the British Council and global research agency RIWI, of 100,000 ordinary people in 15 countries:

People living amid conflict are more optimistic about peace than those living in more peaceful countries.

International Alert’s 2018 Peace Perceptions Poll showed different forms of insecurity troubled different countries: terrorism and political uncertainty surrounding Brexit in the U.K.; a diminishing rule of law and declining press freedom in Hungary and Poland; a new brand of politics — unprecedented and unpredictable — in the U.S.

The U.K. was at the top of the list of countries for more people thinking peace and security would get worse than those thinking it would get better. And Syria was the most optimistic about the prospect of improved peace and security. According to the poll, only 27 percent of people in the U.K. thought things would get better, compared to 84 percent of Syrians. Forty percent of those in the U.K. thought things would get worse, while only 6 percent of Syrians thought the same.

Some of the U.K.’s news headlines show how uncertainty around Brexit has got them thinking the worst: “Police Plan for Civil Unrest After ‘No-Deal’ Brexit” reads one headline. “Will There Be Civil War if Brexit Isn’t Delivered?” asks another. “A New EU Referendum Could Spark ‘Civil Disobedience.’” It’s a real glass-half-empty situation in a country that has rule of law and functioning institutions.

Julian Egan, head of advocacy at International Alert and author of the report, explains you have to consider that Europe and North America have enjoyed unprecedented levels of peace, prosperity and stability since the middle of the 20th century, whereas people in conflict-affected countries have had to be more resilient and adaptable. “So when we’re faced with a new brand of politics, that goes some way in explaining the results we’ve seen,” he says.

Christine Wilson, portfolio lead in research at the British Council, sees the data as a sobering reflection “that people who are at rock bottom assume the only way is up.” That and the pessimism felt in more peaceful countries could be chalked up to connectivity — those living in peace see how much conflict is occurring and are afraid it could be inflicted upon them.

However, both Wilson and Egan caution against taking the data fully at face value.

The geographical differences in the poll’s data are far more telling and may be a better indicator of people’s thoughts on peace and security in their country. In Colombia, for instance, where the majority of people thought things would get better, those living in rural areas were more pessimistic, reflecting the fact that violent conflict tends to be concentrated in rural and other areas outside major population centers.

While more in-depth analysis is needed around the data, first insights from the poll showed that many of those surveyed thought policies should be guided toward long-term solutions to conflict that go beyond refugee acceptance quotas, military intervention and high-end diplomacy. Eliminating conflict, according to those polled, means better education around peace and dealing with the reasons people fight to begin with.

Wilson said such insights were pleasantly surprising: “When you have positive peace, which is what a lot more people would strive for, you not only have the absence of violent conflict, but you also have systems being rebuilt and institutions being rebuilt.”

Whether it’s these policies or other ones depends on context. Egan also stresses that interventions must be nuanced and local. “The way you go about it … going to these regions and getting a strong understanding of what is driving the conflict there and then designing the responses is critical.” Policies then need to take into account perceptions, realities and the interplay between different forms of conflict, as there is often an intersection.

Getting it right is a “political opportunity,” Egan says. If people are saying they want more considered long-term solutions to peace, there’s a chance for politicians to win loyalty — and maybe even a better world — by offering that.

“The era of the fourth industrial revolution calls for a fourth generation of espionage,” Alex Younger will say at St. Andrews University on Monday. 

If you want to make a difference and you think you might have what it takes…we hope you will step forward.

To lure young Brits into the spy agency who otherwise might not have seen themselves in MI6, Younger paints an image of a clever arch nemesis –Russia– which can only be stopped with the help of brilliant young minds from all sorts of backgrounds, not just by the snobbish Oxbridge graduates typically associated with the service.

Russia, or any other UK adversary, better “not underestimate our determination and our capabilities, or those of our allies,” Younger’s speech warns.

Hardly historic friends and bitter Cold War rivals, the UK and Russia have seen their relations slip to new lows in March, following the poisoning of ex-Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. London immediately pinned the blame for the Salisbury incident directly on the Kremlin, and rejected any idea of an open joint investigation with Russia, insisting its own probe would suffice to make the case and then punishing Moscow with sanctions.

Moscow is also perpetually facing accusations of cyberwarfare against other states and attempts to undermine democracy and to influence the political process within those countries. And despite multiple reassurances that Moscow could not care less about the internal political struggles in foreign states, London and British mass media continue to vilify Russia with bizarre reports, like half of London’s Russian community are spies for the Kremlin.

The anti-Russia paranoia in the UK arguably reached its peak over the weekend, when military bases across the nation issued security alerts after a Russian TV crew was accused of spying outside the army’s secret cyber warfare headquarters.

If you’re not an avid follower of British retail banking, you might not have noticed that last week Goldman Sachs quietly launched its Marcus savings account in the UK.

There was little fanfare beyond the press around the UK launch of Goldman’s first foray into consumer banking, after 150 years of catering to the rich and powerful around the world. 

Named for one of the bank’s founders, Marcus Goldman, Marcus first launched in the US in 2016, and is part of an effort to diversify revenue sources as traditional sources of income lag. Marcus has to date written over $ 2 billion worth of loans in the US.

There are early signs Marcus’ UK launch has been a success. Goldman has not yet released any data about customer numbers but Des McDaid, who is leading the project, described the number of users signing up as “stunning.”  

“Numbers have exceeded even our most ambitious expectations,” he said.

Sure, having a bank account with Goldman Sachs sounds cool, but what is Marcus actually like to use?

Business Insider decided to give the bank’s basic savings account — the only Marcus product currently available in the UK — a trial run. Here’s what we found.

Besides the backing of one of the financial world’s most recognisable names, what stands out most about Marcus’ savings account is its interest rate — 1.5%!

YouTube/Marcus by Goldman Sachs

That’s split into a 1.35% basic rate, and an introductory bonus rate of 0.15% for the first year of use. Goldman hasn’t given any indication if it plans to increase or decrease this rate any time soon.

Regardless of the bonus rate, 1.35% is among the best interest rates available for savers on the British high street.

Marcus’ launch coincided with me looking for a new savings account after I finally got sick of the tiny 0.2% interest rate I was getting on my account with a major UK high street bank.

A 0.2% interest rate is so low that it’s almost pointless for saying. $ 10,000 in an account with that interest would give you just $ 10,020 by the end of the year and, after 10 years, just $ 10,201.

Compare that to a 1.5% rate, where after one year your savings would be worth $ 10,150, and $ 11,650 after 10 years.

Signing up for Marcus is a pretty straightforward process.

Marcus has no physical presence, so sign up must be done online. Given that the accounts are targeted at millennials, that’s probably not going to be much of an issue for prospective customers.

I set my account up on Marcus’ launch morning in the UK, and the whole process took less than 15 minutes. I had some of my savings in the account in less than 30 minutes.

Some argue the anti-Semitism confusion in the UK only harms critics of Israel.

Harpreet Singh, 48, was suspended in June 2017 from his role as maths head at Sandye Place Academy in Bedfordshire, after colleagues raised concerns about posts he made to his social media.

Among Singh’s public posts and comments to his personal Facebook page he claimed: “Every sane human is anti-Semitic. Because you b******s have made Zionism synonymous with the mistreatment of Palestinians. Billions are anti-Semitic and proud of it.”

Another said “Of course we hate Jews. Israel is the most evil regime on the planet. Supported by Jews from within, and from around the world.” Later dismissed by the school, Singh defended his comments by saying he was provoked, his comments were taken out of context and he was “extremely sorry and regretted” them.

Calling the comments “offensive and racist,” but not “anti-Semitic,” the misconduct panel banned him from teaching until 2021. He can apply to have the ban lifted after the three years.

Reactions to the panel’s verdict have been mixed. Speaking to RT on a street poll, two women described the panel ruling as “one big contradiction,” suggesting that you “can’t have one without the other.” However, one taxi driver suggested: “He was only giving the opinion of the whole of the Arab world quite frankly.”

The panel’s verdict comes at a time when the issue of anti-Semitism in British politics is at the forefront of media debate. In particular, with opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party. Corbyn in the past has gone on record as saying that it was not anti-Semitic to brand some of Israel’s policies as racist.

Last week, the Labour adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism after a much heated debate. The party, however, included a caveat saying the adoption of the definition did not undermine free speech on Israel, prompting even more outrage.

‘Confusion enables victimhood’

“People are easily confused between the terms anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli,” Amir Oren, a columnist with Haaretz newspaper told RT in relation to the ongoing debate in the Labour Party.

“But then again there are people who are not so innocent, who are trying to speak for certain policies of the current Israeli government and hide under the guise of being criticized by the anti-Semitic critics of Israel.”

For Oren, the Israeli government should be able to “cope with the criticism” of their policies without the need to hide behind claims of anti-Semitism which he deems “very convenient but inaccurate.”

Another seven in 10 believe you are never too old to let go of your childhood dreams – but around eight in ten are yet to achieve theirs.

Top of the list for childhood career dreams were footballer.

Despite this, three in five think it is healthy to hang onto your dream as a source of hope, even as it becomes more unlikely you will be able to achieve it.

And while 82 per cent of Brits over 55 have yet to achieve their lifelong dreams, one third still hold out hope their aspirations will be realised in their twilight years.

Hope Bastine, psychologist for high-tech mattress maker, Simba, which commissioned the study, said: “Naturally it’s easy to look at the results of this study from a glum perspective, but on the flip side it does show we’re a glass half full nation, even in the face of reality.

“When we are younger the world can seem full of endless possibilities, and we are encouraged to shoot for the moon, but soon certain realities begin to set in.

“When this happens, it is encouraging to see many of us still receive the support we need from friends and family to follow our dreams, even as life complicates matters.”

The study also found one in two ambitious Brits have been advised to follow their dreams when they have hit upon hard times.

Of these, three in 10 were inspired by their friends and 36 per cent were urged to grab the bull by the horns by their mum or dad.

One fifth can recall a particular teacher who encouraged them to forge forward, while another 24 per cent were driven on by a caring partner.

Fifty-five per cent believe lack of monetary stability is the biggest barrier between them and their dreams, while 28 per cent feel they don’t have enough time to dedicate to the cause.

But one in six can identify a realist in their lives who has told them to let go of their unreasonable aspirations.

And 16 per cent think you should pack in such flighty thoughts before your 40th birthday.

Hope Bastine added: “It’s important to remember that, even in unfortunate circumstances, many persevering Brits find their way to achieving their life goals, even in the face of self-doubt and discouragement from those around them.

“And while the odds shorten every year, Brits agree it’s healthy to keep your dreams and aspirations close to you.

“The world is an unpredictable place and opportunity can lurk in unexpected places, which could turn your childhood aspirations into a reality.”

Young and optimistic, one in five of our fledgling selves dreamed of becoming professional footballers, and 17 per cent thought they could become renowned musicians with enough practice and talent.

One in ten had aspirations to appear on the silver screen as a highly-regarded actor, while one in seven clung to more humble ambitions of becoming a teacher or a vet.

When asked to reveal some of their more unusual aspirations, one thrill-seeking Brit had dreams of being a downhill skier, while another wanted to own their own steam engine.

One jetsetter had dreams of seeing the world in their lifetime and has currently visited 51 countries so far, while another set themselves a more humble goal closer to home, of owning their own cat.

The EU, however, seems to be growing used to the idea of the UK’s exit.

For the first time, the broader public appear to have backed a second referendum, with 44 percent of people calling for a vote on Prime Minister Theresa May’s final agreement with the EU. The research, conducted by anti-Brexit group Best for Britain, also said that 36 percent reject the idea of a second referendum – a good eight points behind.

The only reasonable scenario for a second referendum to be called would be if MPs reject May’s deal with the EU – but such a disagreement would spell crisis and constitutional turmoil for the UK. The group is using the research to call on MPs to respond to the people’s growing desire for a “final say.”

Best for Britain chief executive Eloise Todd said voters should have the chance to choose between a non-EU future or life within the bloc, once May has hammered out a deal.

“Now there is a decisive majority in favor of a final say for the people of our country on the terms of Brexit. This poll is a turning point moment,” she said.

“The only democratic way to finish this process is to make sure the people of this country – not MPs across Europe – have the final say, giving them an informed choice on the two options available to them: the deal the government brings back and our current terms.

“We now need MPs across Parliament, from [Labour leader Jeremy] Corbyn’s front bench to the moderates of the Conservative Party, to do what’s best for Britain and back a people’s vote on the terms.”

Former Prime Ministers Sir John Major and Tony Blair have been vocal in calling for another referendum, but the Liberal Democrats and the Greens are the only parties in favor of another vote.

Best for Britain said its poll of 813 people indicated that just shy of a quarter of people who voted Leave in the last referendum want another say on the final terms of the Brexit agreement.

Meanwhile, the European Union seems to have accepted that Britain will not change its mind on Brexit following the March 2019 divorce deadline. Ireland’s EU commissioner in Brussels, Phil Hogan, said Monday that EU leaders do not expect any substantive change in the UK’s position before March 2019, even if there is a vote on the Brexit deal in Parliament before then.

“One thing we have already learned from Brexit is that the UK does not have a better idea,” Hogan said. “It does not have a replacement for the union as a way to improve the life quality of its citizens, its businesses and its standing in the world.

“Stepping into global Britain is stepping into a difficult world,” he added. “And there will be a huge gap between hope and experience. One hopes that [Theresa] May’s confidence is not misplaced.”

He also said that the UK’s post-EU landscape will mean that Britons will regain their sovereignty but will have “reduced bargaining power, reduced security of its markets and supply chains,” as well as friction and cost added to trade in Europe.

A study has revealed that many of us are eating the same foods daily

A study of 2,000 adults revealed not wanting to stray from what they like, a lack of time to be more adventurous and being a fussy eater means many eat identical meals and snacks on a loop.

One in three even went as far as to say they are completely ‘stuck in a rut’ when it came to their diet.

More than half of those who eat foods on repeat admitted to being so caught up in the routine they just do it out of habit, while 46 per cent like to stick with what they know they like.

Twenty-two per cent claimed they don’t have the time to vary their diet while one in five put their lack of variation down to being fussy with food.

As a result, seven in 10 of those polled by Arla Fibre wish they could get more variety in their diet.

Dr Ranj Singh, resident doctor on ITV’s This Morning, said: “It’s clear that our busy lifestyles are causing meal times to become repetitive.

“But with a few simple swaps, we can add more colour and excitement into our diets whilst also ensuring we get enough of the different food groups we need to stay healthy.

“The simple rule that most people already know is always opt for brown over white when it comes to bread, rice and pasta, but there are so many more ways to get more fibre in your diet that people don’t consider.

“For instance, always keeping the skin on vegetables and swapping your regular yogurt for new Arla Fibre.”

The study also found more than eight in 10 adults don’t know what their current diet provides them with in terms of vitamins and minerals.

Despite 94 per cent agreeing it’s important to get fibre in your diet, just six per cent are aware adults need 30g of fibre every day.

National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) data, however, shows that fibre – so often overlooked as a food group – is lacking in most of our diets, with a ‘fibre gap’ of, on average, 12g per person per day.

The research was commissioned to mark the launch of Arla Fibre, a new range of tasty yogurts containing 4.7g of fibre per 150g serving.

In fact, three quarters of the nation wished it was easier to get more nourishment from what they eat, with 22 per cent in agreement there is an absence of fibre in their diet.

This leaves 45 per cent of those caught up in an eating routine struggling to get the right nutrition because of their monotonous mealtimes.

The study found that most people did not stray from their staple foods

In addition, one in four don’t think they get enough iron, with 35 per cent admitting they lack vitamins.

And 18 per cent don’t think they get enough magnesium.

Bread, vegetables and cheese were among the foods adults consume on a weekly basis, with potato, pasta and crisps also featuring as products regularly enjoyed.

This struggle to get the right nutrition from food means Brits are looking for other means of getting well-rounded nourishment from what they eat.

Over half the nation will take supplements to up their dose of vitamins and minerals, and 13 per cent have stomached something they don’t like in order to get the nutrients they need.

James Quayle of Arla Foods, said: “On average, the UK population only eats about 18g of fibre a day, so when the UK Government released their 2015 guidelines advising that adults should eat 30g of a fibre, we realised just how much we are lacking from our diets.

“It’s no surprise that we’re struggling to get enough fibre, when traditional fibre-rich foods can be so bland and uninspiring, so here at Arla, we set out to change all that and created a tasty yogurt which equates to 16 per cent of the 30g recommended by the UK Government in each 150g serving.

“And best of all you can’t taste the fibre at all!”
