Ellen van Dijk defended her title and claimed a third time trial gold medal at the opening event of the world road cycling championships.

Doctors say job is too intense to safely work more, with four-hour shifts actually meaning six or seven hours of work.

The thinktank asked survey participants how many four-hour sessions they intended to work one, five and 10 years after qualifying. Two-thirds (67%) said “volume of administrative work”, 63% cited “work-related stress” and 61% specified the “long working hours” involved. The King’s Fund study found that 63% of trainee GPs in England plan to work no more than six four-hour “sessions” a week one year after qualifying. When trainees who planned to work less than full-time were asked why, 78% said “intensity of the working day”. Fewer than one-third of trainees – only 31% – said they planned to undertake seven, eight or more shifts, which in general practice is regarded as working full-time. The trend is also gathering pace because “trainee GPs don’t want to be crushed by weight of work and have seen too many members of the profession coming under unhealthy levels of pressure”, she added.

Ellen van Dijk has defended her world championship jersey in style, beating home favourite Grace Brown in a thrilling opening to the World Championships.

Both were up at the first intermediate time check but not by much, with Brown having found a chunk of time in the last few kilometres after pacing herself superbly. Indeed, she was later knocked out of the top three by Vittoria Guazzini (Italy), who crossed the line with her teeth bared in a grimace to slot into provisional second. It is the second time Australia have hosted the World Championships, and home rider Brown did indeed set the early pace as she finished in a competitive 44:41.33. The road world championships started in style, with Ellen van Dijk winning the time trial in Wollongong to ensure she would wear the rainbow jersey for a second straight year. The course consisted of two laps around Wollongong in perfect conditions, with the sun high overhead and temperatures hovering around the 19 Degree mark for a total of 34.2km of racing.

Norwegian Tobias Foss stunned a stellar field to win the men's time trial at the road cycling world championships in Wollongong on Sunday.

Norway's Tobias Foss took a stunning victory in the elite men's time trial at the UCI Road World Championships on Sunday in Wollongong, Australia.

The newly crowned Vuelta champ, the second-to-last rider on the road, delivered a strong ride on the winding course –but he was nonetheless nine seconds too slow to topple Foss, settling for third. Still, Küng seemed to be well-positioned to best Foss after he too set a faster mark at the first split. Ethan Hayter (Great Britain) was among those besting Foss at the first intermediate, but Hayter too would suffer misfortune, dropping his chain and needing a bike change. That said, others managed to set faster times at the first split, hardly a surprise considering how far down the list of favourites Foss would have found himself on Sunday morning. Bissegger's mark of 40:49 held for some time thereafter, but some big names were due to start in the third and final group. Among the first few starters on the day was Australian national champion Luke Plapp, and he duly delivered for the home fans on the two-lap, up-and-down course, taking a provisional lead in the early goings.

Foss began to celebrate with only Ganna on the course, the Italian shipping time with every turn of the pedals. Foss crossed the line next to take the lead in 40:02.78, averaging 51kmph with pain etched on his face as he gasped for breath having given his absolute all. So, in a matter of moments it had been all change with half the field having set a time but with plenty of big names still to go. But while Bissegger was on the course, Bruno Armirail (France) was starting to motor and found himself fastest through the second intermediate time check. Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia) can never be discounted but he was 15 seconds down at the first check, with nothing in it between Ganna and Evenepoel. But Kung was in the mix and as he powered across the line the clock was ticking down, and went into the red. But as the drama was unfolding on the clock, disaster befell Hayter as he lost his chain, the ensuing bike change rendering his chances long gone. Foss could barely hide his emotion, hiding his head in his hands as he was guaranteed silver. The Swiss rider is the reigning European time trial champion having beaten compatriot Kung and Filippo Ganna (Italy) in Munich last month, which was enough to muscle himself into the pool of favourites as one to watch. “It was pretty amazing to be here, all I wanted to do was smile and soak up the atmosphere. The 25-year-old had never won a race outside his own national championships, but held his nerve on a sunny day in Wollongong. Endless blue skies stretched overhead as the riders lowered themselves into the most streamlined position possible to take on a mildly undulating course littered with tight turns.

Tobias Foss has caused a sensation at the world time trial championships. In Wollongong, Australia, the Norwegian rider of Team Jumbo-Visma took the gold.…

I'm going to honour the jersey as well I can and, most of all, enjoy it immensely", the world champion said. Now I am a world champion and get to wear the rainbow jersey for a year. For the 25-year-old Norwegian, it is still surreal that Foss now gets to shine in the rainbow jersey for a year. "Today, I hoped to ride in the top ten, maybe even the top five. "I had to keep pushing throughout the time trial. I will try to enjoy it; I think I don't realise it yet."

Denver Newsroom, Sep 18, 2022 / 14:00 pm. Blessed John Paul I did not serve as Roman Pontiff for long, but 10 other popes had shorter pontificates than he ...

He died at the age of 64. The emperor had forcibly deposed a pope and installed his own nominee on the See of Peter. He was the first pope to have two names. At the time of the papal coronation he was already suffering from a diseased leg, which developed into a septic ulcer. He was already in poor health when he was elected, at a time when the papacy was a center of political conflict between backers and opponents of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. He gained a reputation as a Church reformer and had hoped to pursue this path during his papacy. Cervini served the Vatican at the time of its response to the Protestant Reformation. He spent time with the Cistercian religious order and was a cardinal bishop of Sabina. He was born in Rome. He was born Marcello Cervini, at Montefano in Tuscany. He led several commissions during the Council of Trent and helped organize the military alliance against the Ottoman Empire, according to the New Catholic Encyclopedia. Their stories are a microcosm of the history of the papacy.

The ABC will begin its live coverage from 4pm, switching at 5pm to the BBC’s coverage of official dignitaries arriving. The hearse will reach Windsor at 3pm (12am AEST) and join a procession to St George’s Chapel, where a smaller committal service will be held to lower the coffin into the royal vault. At 12.15pm (9.15pm AEST) a procession will carry the Queen’s coffin out of Westminster Abbey, through London, past Buckingham Palace to Wellington Arch, where it will be transferred to a hearse. The Queen will be buried with her late husband, Prince Philip. At 6.30am London time (3.30pm AEST), the final members of the public will be admitted to see the Queen’s coffin and the lying in state period will come to an end. The service will be conducted by the Dean of Westminster, David Hoyle, with scripture passages read by the UK prime minister, Liz Truss, and the secretary general of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland.

Soren Waerenskjold made it two Norwegian victories from two time trials in the men's World Championships under-23 race in Wollongong.

Waerenskjold broke into the top two by a single second by the first time check, was only two seconds off the pace of Hayter after one lap and getting faster. Segaert, already on the books at WorldTour Lotto-Soudal, slipped to 2.5 seconds down after one lap, before rallying in the second to seal the silver medal. Britain’s Hayter, the 16th rider down the ramp, was the first to go under nine minutes at intermediate one. Mick Van Dijke briefly threatened the provisional podium but faded, coming home in 7th after losing almost a minute in the final part of his run. With half the field left, they were the only two to average more than 49kph. Having almost secured silver, he was nudged into bronze by the penultimate rider to start, Belgium’s Alec Segaert.

And, in the weeks since a CIA drone strike killed al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri in a leafy Kabul enclave, it has become even more clear that the Taliban ...

Washington could also allocate more resources to the UN Assistance Mission to Afghanistan to enhance its focus on preventing human rights abuses and working more closely with Afghan civil society. If the international community continues to allow Taliban officials to travel abroad, it will send the signal that it is acceptable for them to continue repressing women and girls. The UN and international human rights organizations have documented numerous human rights abuses in addition to those against women and girls, including extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions, forced displacement, persecution of minorities, torture, and a clampdown on journalists and freedom of expression over the last year. But the most significant step the United States can take to show the Taliban that it won’t be business as usual is to back the reinstatement of the UN travel ban for all Taliban leaders, which had been waived since 2019. [Biden administration](https://www.foreignaffairs.com/topics/biden-administration) announced that the money would instead be distributed to the Afghan people through an international fund managed by Swiss government officials and Afghan experts. But it also demonstrates that the Taliban retains close links with al Qaeda and that the terrorist group is taking advantage of the Taliban’s return to power to rebuild its base in Afghanistan. But Washington should limit its engagement with the Taliban to agreeing on a set of principles for delivering aid, including Taliban noninterference in the work of the organizations carrying out aid programs. Others argue that the immediate need to work with the Taliban regime to ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches desperate Afghans should take precedence over human rights concerns. In late August, the UN warned that 24 million Afghans still require humanitarian relief, and that more than $700 million is needed to help Afghans get through the coming winter. But any illusion that the Taliban intended to make good on that promise was shattered in late July when it became clear that Zawahiri, the PenPath, an Afghan organization working to reopen schools, continues to campaign for girls’ education in some of the most remote parts of the country. Getting tougher on the Taliban would not mean interfering with humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people.

The 22-year-old takes Norway's second rainbow jersey in two days in Wollongong, with Segaert and Hayter filling out podium.

There were still 15 riders to finish and Wærenskjold would have to wait for nearly all of them to cross the line before he could be comfortable in his top spot. However, he had already lost ground on the Norwegian by the second check. He would have a tense wait as the final riders went through after Segaert set the quickest time at the opening check. Denmark’s Carl-Frederik Bevort set the early benchmark with a time of 34:52.79. Hayter started his run strongly but faded over the second lap, something that would prove key as later riders came through. His win comes after Tobias Foss’ surprise victory in the elite men’s competition Sunday.

The EDM DJ-producer loves all genres, has roots in the hardcore scene and hangs out with Nickelback, but what's the ideal soundtrack to his ice baths?

I never saw them play, because they were before my time, but they were one of the big inspirations for me to become who I am today. If there’s a genre I don’t understand, 20 years ago I would have said that I don’t like it, but now I say that I don’t understand it and I want to learn it. The reason why I don’t tell the world that’s my favourite song is because no one knows it. Fugazi was one of the bands I grew up listening to in high school, when I first got into the hardcore scene. It was one of those songs that made me want to pick up the guitar, which started me on the road to becoming a musician. The song structure just blows away all other song structures out there: it’s like how a classical song would be repositioned in a pop narrative. That’s the song I play when I’m in an ice bath. I want everyone to be having fun, partying, remembering the good times. As a kid, I literally wrote all the lyrics out on a notepad and memorised it. It’s almost five minutes, and that’s the duration I like for my ice bath. I do it on a microphone in front of 20,000 people, singing over the track. The movie A Nightmare on Elm Street had come out, and I saw the video.
