THE choice of John Hughes to be Inverness Caley Thistle manager raised a few eyebrows in Scottish football.

ST JOHNSTONE have agreed a new deal with Tommy Wright – forcing Dundee United to step up their interest in Inverness boss John Hughes.

JOHN HUGHES has told Anthony Stokes a loan move to Inverness could help him save his Celtic career.

THE CORONAVIRUS pandemic is forcing the political elite to finally acknowledge what the general public have known for some time; as a nation we have allowed ourselves to become far too dependent on importing essential goods and cheap labour from across the globe. The financial crisis of 2008 exposed as a myth the claim that globalisation would lead to ever greater prosperity for all. The current crisis has made it crystal clear that globalisation, as well as being bad news for our economy, puts lives at risk.

Today’s column is a celebration of John Horton Conway, the legendary British mathematician, who died of coronavirus earlier this month, aged 82.

Conway was an inspirational, iconoclastic genius who invented and studied countless puzzles and games, in addition to his more highbrow work in group theory, number theory, geometry, topology and many other fields.

The answers to today’s puzzles

Renowned Welsh physicist whose work helped to forge Britain’s reputation as a global leader in climate science

The late 1980s marked a key moment for environmental science, matching triumph with looming disaster. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had been observed since the late 1950s, at the remote Pacific observatory of Mauna Loa, but it was only after three decades of further research that concern over what this rapid accumulation of greenhouse gases might mean reached the desks of the world’s leaders.

At the time, politicians appeared receptive to scientific warnings in a way they rarely have been since. In 1987, world governments concluded the Montreal protocol, which still stands today as probably the most successful environmental intervention, phasing out the use of the ozone-depleting chemicals that had threatened to destroy the planet’s protective atmospheric layer.

JOHN HUMPHRYS: Every leader of every country in the world had come together on a virtual network. Never had there been such a conference. But, yet, never had there been such a crisis.

Chloe Lattanzi has described her Dancing With The Stars journey as a 'rebirth' for her 'self worth'.

Army Colonel Kathryn Spletstoser filed a lawsuit against Air Force General John Hyten for allegedly sexually assaulting her in 2017 on November 25 in California, seeking punitive damages and a jury trial.

Prince Charles (pictured) lead the UK at the ceremony in St Peter's Square in Rome, where Pope Francis declared the cardinal a saint in front of 20,000 pilgrims.

JOHN HUMPHRYS: Every leader of every country in the world had come together on a virtual network. Never had there been such a conference. But, yet, never had there been such a crisis.

JOHN HUMPHRYS: The pandemic has changed our way of life dramatically and we're starting to get the hang of it and even, dare I say it, enjoy it.
