What's behind Trump's fresh attack on Sadiq Khan?

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump has made a fresh attack on Sir Sadiq Khan, and claimed London wants to “go to Sharia law”. A spokesperson for Sadiq, London’s first Muslim mayor said: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response."

Does London really need the return of Jamie’s Italian?

Jamie Oliver is to relaunch his Italian restaurants in 2026 - seven years after the chain went out of business - having reached a deal with Brava Hospitality Group, the owners of Prezzo. At its peak, there were more than 40 Jamie’s Italian sites across the UK, but after rapid expansion and a changing market, the company ran into trouble. Now the first UK branch in six years is set to open in Leicester Square next year, at a time when UK hospitality bosses have complained of a tough trading environment, increased costs and changes to business rates. So can the celebrity chef pull off this comeback - and does the capital need another Italian chain restaurant? The Standard’s Food & Drink Writer Josh Barrie is here with the latest. Hosted on Acast.

ZOE's Dr Federica Amati and Professor Tim Spector Debunk the Biggest Food Myths

In this episode, Evgeny sits down with Professor Tim Spector and Dr Federica Amati - two of the leading scientific voices behind personalised nutrition company ZOE - to rethink everything we’ve been told about food. From the myth of “good” and “bad” fats to calorie-counting obsessions, Tim and Federica uncover why so much of our nutritional advice is outdated, over-simplified - and in some cases, actively harmful. They unpack how ultra-processed foods and constant snacking damage our gut, why breakfast is not magically the most important meal of the day, and how time-restricted eating might be the key to optimising your daily health. At the core of their discussion is a simple idea: eat for your gut microbes. This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard. Producer: Florence de Schlichting Production Coordinator: James Cox Production Manager: Kirsty McLean Video Editor: Nani Wenani The Standard team: Joe Bromley Will Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.
