this is a rattlingly good tale of a modern day machiavelli that ascribes credit for labour’s journey to power not to keir starmer, but to his irish chief of staff this is the compelling story of how one intensely motivated man grabbed control of a broken party, eviscerated its left and ruthlessly reforged labour into a power hungry machine. the central character of the plot is not keir starmer; the main protagonist is the operative and strategist morgan mcsweeney. the irishman will be unknown to the great majority of voters, but it is the claim of this account that he has been one of the most consequential figures in contemporary politics. it becomes clear early on that starmer will often be peripheral to the tale of how labour was taken from abject defeat in 2019 to victory with a parliamentary landslide in 2024. the labour leader is largely absent from the first 40 or so pages. everything is mcsweeney and mcsweeney is everything, to use the kind of formulation that these authors are rather fond of. the school hating son of an accountant and a clerical worker, he comes from the small market town of macroom in county cork. in search of wider horizons, he makes his way to london as a “17 year old slacker”. i assume this is a self description that he offered to the writers to whom he’s obviously given a lot of cooperation. he gets work in the capital as a labourer on building sites. tiring of it, he tries university, only to drop out within 12 months. the authors suggest that the making of him is three months spent in israel on a kibbutz, where “the lazy teenager learned to work”. he takes a degree in politics and marketing at middlesex university. mesmerised by the early triumphs of tony blair, he secures menial roles on the campaign operation built by peter mandelson. journalists sometimes ascribe his rise to being a mandelson protege, but the authors suggest that none of the luminaries of new labour had a clue who the irishman was back then. he cuts his campaigning teeth in lambeth, south london, where labour’s reputation has been poisoned by the hard left, and then in dagenham, east london, where it is a bare knuckle fight with the far right racists of the british national party. it is these experiences on some of the meaner streets of the capital that formed his muscular and sometimes fanatical approach to politics, and fed his limitless disdain for leftwing activists and politicians who obsess over their pet ideological preoccupations rather than speaking to and catering for the concerns and needs of the voters. it also impressed upon him the importance of data and messaging. he’s a cunning fellow, this red haired irishman who speaks extremely fast in a very soft voice. when jeremy corbyn and his comrades gain control of the party in 2015, mcsweeney responds with an organisation called labour together. rather than be openly oppositional with all the risks that would entail, he goes to corbyn to present the outfit as benignly helpful to his leadership. this is a confidence trick. “in his mind, corbyn’s politics were not just wrong. they were evil.” his real purpose is to use any means necessary to destabilise and delegitimise corbynism and corbynite organisations, the better to be ready to destroy them altogether when the time is ripe. as corbyn begins to spiral towards catastrophic defeat, what mcsweeney lacks is “the candidate” to replace him. he alights on starmer. only a few others had spotted the strength of the ambition throbbing beneath the north london lawyer’s vaguely progressive and rather bland exterior. we’re told that he started coveting the job of leader at least five years before he got it and sought to improve his public performances by taking acting lessons from leonie mellinger, who once appeared alongside rik mayall in the new statesman. rachel reeves and other leading lights were conscientious objectors to corbynism and refused to serve in his shadow cabinet. that disqualified them in the eyes of the leftwing membership, but starmer could attract support because he had served   teeth gritted, but more or less loyally   on corbyn’s frontbench. starmer does not have a lot of his own politics, but this is an advantage for mcsweeney because he has spent a huge amount of a rich donor’s money on polling the party’s membership to find out what kind of candidate they’d back. a picture begins to build of starmer as not the master of his own fate, but someone acting a part others have ghostwritten for him. the corbynesque policy pledges that he issued to secure the leadership were not his own work. they were scripted for him. we also learn that much of his first speech as labour leader was written by a mcsweeney associate whom starmer had never even met. labour strategy is not developed in the shadow cabinet. the plan to reconnect labour with the working class voters it has lost was called project phoenix and discussed at mcsweeney’s kitchen cabinet of like minded labour apparatchiks who meet in secret on sunday evenings at the london home of roger liddle, a labour peer and old friend of mandelson. starmer begins his leadership thinking his guiding philosophy should be unity, as he’d promised when getting elected. mcsweeney regards unity as a euphemism for cowardice and thinks there cannot and should not be unity with the left. “let’s all be friends” is the strategist’s rather derogatory take on starmer’s initial desire to be a conciliator of the factions. the inflection point is labour’s grim defeat at the hartlepool byelection, characterised by a senior labour official as “a fucking shit show in the fuck factory”. boris johnson celebrates by parading around the constituency accompanied by a 30ft inflatable effigy of himself. it is not a revelation to me that starmer responded to this humiliation with a massive wobble. i was aware that he’d told intimates that he was going to resign, but didn’t know exactly how low he sunk. one of the merits of an extremely well sourced account is the dramatic detail that the authors provide about the sliding doors moments. they present us with a dour and disconsolate starmer damning himself: “i think i have to go… we’re going backwards. we’re losing seats that corbyn won.” by contrast, mcsweeney regards the drubbing in hartlepool as “the kick up the arse the party needed”. there follows the threat of a coup by angela rayner and a near death experience for starmer at the batley and spen byelection. mcsweeney begins to pursue the “cleansing confrontation” with the left that he had longed for to change labour and to demonstrate to the country that it had changed. he successfully plots to ambush the 2021 conference with a rewrite of the party’s rulebook designed to forever emasculate the corbynites. no one outside his tight circle of collaborators is told what he is up to until the very last moment. starmer is one of those excluded from mcsweeney’s need to know list. the transformation that follows is executed with such remorselessness that a year later the conference marks the death of the queen by singing the national anthem without a peep of dissent. johnson is brought down, liz truss blows up and rishi sunak can’t keep his head above water while mcsweeney refines an election strategy that is designed to make the labour vote as “efficient” as possible by denying resources to seats that will never be lost or cannot be won in order to concentrate effort on the swingers. strategy is controlled by him and pat mcfadden, a veteran of the blair years, from a windowless room at labour hq that is nicknamed “the cell”. on this harsh account, starmer’s contribution to the campaign amounts to fumbling the first tv debate, presenting “the threadbare policy offer” contained in the manifesto and lucking out when sunak makes the suicidal decision to leave the d day commemorations early. sign up to observed analysis and opinion on the week's news and culture brought to you by the best observer writers after newsletter promotion mcsweeney should try to keep this book away from the labour leader, because he will surely loathe it. one of many spicy quotes that juice up the narrative has an adviser saying: “it’s impossible to work out whether keir realises he is a pawn in a chess game. or does he like being a pawn in a chess game, provided it makes him powerful.” there are many occasions when starmer is depicted as placing himself “at a degree’s remove from the business of his own future”, subcontracting big calls to others and being opaque and detached when decisions have to be made or warring colleagues need sorting out. mcsweeney is quoted confiding to a friend: “keir acts like an hr manager, not a leader.” one of the strategist’s acolytes likens starmer to a useful idiot with a reference to the driverless, remote controlled trains on london’s docklands light railway (dlr). “keir’s not driving the train. he thinks he’s driving the train, but we’ve sat him in front of the dlr.” recruits to the operation from the new labour years had worked for leaders who wrote their own electoral destinies. they find starmer weirdly disengaged. “we were used to, in our blair brown meetings, watching tony and gordon thrash out the strategy. but, literally, keir was like: ‘right, you guys get on with it.’” though it was evident that labour was on its way to power well in advance, preparations were thin. nick boles, a former conservative minister and chum of michael gove, is astonished to find himself helping to draw up plans for the first labour government in well over a decade. “there i was: 58 years old, a failed politician, and i was producing all the organograms on powerpoint. fuck knows   i literally must be the least well qualified person to do powerpoint slides.” poor old sue gray, the civil servant whom starmer chose to be his chief of staff, is the target of yet another dumper truck of opprobrium. the authors’ hostile sources depict her as a power hoarding, accessing denying control freak whose preparations for government existed only in her head. one of her mistakes was to threaten the job security of the male starmer aides whom she privately derided as a lazy, louche and badly dressed “boys’ club”. the fatal error was to cross mcsweeney. in a power struggle between the two, a recent recruit from the civil service was always going to lose to the irishman who had made himself so indispensable. she got the boot; he got her job. mcsweeney is the hero   or antihero, according to taste   of a rattling tale terrifically well told. he might be flattered, but he should also be worried. machiavellis attract resentment. the more so when they stray out of the shadows and into the limelight. prime ministers don’t take well to being portrayed as the dumb instrument of someone else’s designs. this book will do something to mcsweeney’s relationship with starmer   and i doubt it is going to be anything good. andrew rawnsley is the chief political commentator of the observer get in: the inside story of labour under starmer by patrick maguire and gabriel pogrund is published by

the times takes complaints about editorial content seriously. we are committed to abiding by the independent press standards organisation rules and regulations and the editors’ code of practice that ipso enforces. requests for corrections should be sent to feedback@thetimes.co.uk or to feedback, the times, 1 london bridge street, london se1 9gf february 7, 2025the fashion designer alice temperley does not live in bruton, somerset, as we suggested (it’s ‘post posh’: how bruton became britain’s montecito, times2, feb 5); she lives a 45 minute drive away. we are happy to make this clear. february 6, 2025the independent review of valdo calocane’s care revealed 15 “extremely serious” acts of violence, including stabbings, involving patients at nottinghamshire healthcare nhs foundation trust between 2019 and 2023. those acts were not committed by calocane, as we wrongly said (news, feb 5). the mistake was introduced in editing. in the case of kireeva v bedzhamov, the supreme court’s judgment was given by lord lloyd jones and lord richards, not lord leggatt and lady simler as we wrongly said (law report, feb 3). february 3, 2025an article on admiral taverns was wrongly illustrated with a picture of the mayfly pub in stockbridge, hampshire (business, feb 3). the mayfly is owned by fuller’s. february 3, 2025a blackboard used by albert einstein is on display in oxford at the history of science museum, not rhodes house as we wrongly said (leading article, feb 1). february 2, 2025 a petition urging sutton council to divest from companies supplying the israeli military was not submitted on holocaust memorial day as we said (news, jan 28). it was heard at a scheduled council meeting that day but had been submitted earlier. we said that the japanese had never apologised properly for sexual enslavement of korean women in the second world war (leading article, jan 28). in fact successive japanese prime ministers from 1995 have sent letters of apology to former “comfort women” and the issue was “resolved finally and irreversibly” with an agreement between japan and south korea in december 2015. february 1, 2025in saturday’s magazine, we refer to victoria cipriani as danny cipriani’s ex wife. although she filed for divorce in august, the couple are still married. january 27, 2025we wrongly said that a study on behalf of thames water showed “1 in 12 londoners is an illegal migrant” (news, jan 23). in fact the study covered only 7 million people in specific “water resource zones”, not the whole population of london, which is closer to 9 million. 1 in 12 was the highest of a range of estimates for the proportion of “irregular migrants”, but these estimates included some people who are not illegal immigrants, such as those given indefinite leave to remain, as well as some british born children of migrants with irregular status. january 24, 2025we said that “on average women still earn 13 per cent less an hour than men, according to the office for national statistics” (news, jan 23). in fact the figure for full time median earnings excluding overtime is 7 per cent. the mistake was introduced in editing. january 20, 2025we said (comment, jan 10) that a law commission report on surrogacy proposed “lowering the minimum age [of surrogates] to 21 and removing the important condition to protect a woman’s physical and mental wellbeing that she must already have her own child”. in fact there is no minimum age at present and no requirement for a surrogate to be a mother already: the report recommends introducing a minimum age of 21 but no change on the latter point. january 17, 2025asked whether the uk should be forced to take back british isis prisoners (world, jan 8), donald trump’s incoming director of counterterrorism sebastian gorka replied: “any nation which wishes to be seen to be a serious ally and friend of the most powerful nation in the world should act in a fashion that reflects that serious commitment.” he made no mention of keir starmer or shamima begum. we are happy to make this clear. january 16, 2025we said (sport, jan 13) dame tracey crouch had “intimated” that a sport regulator would have stopped the saudi takeover of newcastle. in fact she said, when asked in 2021, “i certainly can’t tell you whether or not this integrity test would have stopped the newcastle takeover. i don’t know the details of it. but i would say that it would certainly have stress tested it more and it would have been more transparent in that testing.” we are happy to make this clear. january 14, 2025in an article headlined “law firm rejects accusations over bhp settlement” (business, nov 6) we suggested that pogust goodhead might for financial reasons be improperly pressuring its clients to reject a settlement offer in relation to the ongoing high court litigation against bhp concerning the mariana dam collapse. that suggestion was untrue and we apologise to pogust goodhead. we have agreed to pay them damages and legal costs. january 11, 2025taunton school is not passing on the full 20 per cent vat on fees as we said but rather keeping fee increases below 10 per cent (news, jan 4). we apologise for the mistake. it was in 2015 that stonewall announced it would focus on trans rights, not 2004 as we wrongly said (comment, jan 8). we apologise for the mistake. january 9, 2025we reported barbara mills kc, the new head of the bar council, as saying that the judiciary “isn’t too white and too male” (law, jan 9). in fact she said, when asked if the bench was too white and too male, “i’d put it another way: it isn’t too anything.” january 8, 2025we said that to become pope requires a simple majority of cardinals in a papal conclave (comment, jan 6). this was once the case but since 2007 a two thirds majority has been required. we said the sculptor anne curry was married to david curry (news, jan 6). we have been asked to make clear that the couple are still married, and we are happy to do so. a photograph showed newton ferrers, devon, not nearby noss mayo as the caption wrongly said (weekend, jan 4). january 7, 2025an article on the two candidates for leadership of the muslim council for britain wrongly suggested both had praised iran (news, dec 6). dr wajid akhter has not expressed such views. we have further been informed that dr akhter did not, as originally reported, say new year celebrations “usually” involve “un islamic practices”, but that they “may” do so. we are happy to make this clear. january 6, 2025humanae vitae, the papal encyclical on birth control, was issued by pope paul vi, not pope john vi as we wrongly said (david lodge obituary, jan 4). january 3, 2025we wrongly said the fastest growing group among the economically inactive were those including mental health disorders in their claim for a personal independence payment (comment, aug 19). while such claims have risen, not all claimants are economically inactive and it does not follow that they are the fastest growing group within the economically inactive cohort. this correction is published following an upheld ruling by the independent press standards organisation. december 30, 2024 a photo in world news (“the resourceful ‘lord’ rebooting the rhine one castle at a time”, dec 26) showed katz castle, not rheinstein castle as we said. we said homeowners with solar panels can make 4.1p per kwh of electricity exported back to the national grid (news, dec 28). in fact many rates are available, currently ranging from 1p to more than 25p. december 27, 2024an obituary of hazel, 10th baroness howard de walden (dec 27), was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of gillian, lady howard de walden, widow of the 9th baron. we apologise for the mistake. december 23, 2024we said that yuan yi zhu in a book review called some of the contributors to a volume of essays “self discrediting and morally bankrupt” (news, dec 20). professor zhu has informed us that in fact he described only one contributor in those terms. december 21, 2024we said the coroner shirley radcliffe contacted chelsea and westminster hospital to raise concerns about an investigation into the death of hayden nguyen (news, dec 18). while the coroner’s office did make such contact, dr radcliffe has informed us she was not responsible. we are happy to put this on record. december 20, 2024a photograph showed rushanara ali mp, not tulip siddiq mp as the caption wrongly said (business, dec 18). this was due to an agency error. december 16, 2024we wrongly said greenpeace had incurred $11 million in legal costs for a case against shell (business, dec 11). this was the amount the group might have paid if they had lost the case, which was settled out of court. december 15, 2024a photograph on page 4 (dec 13) showed choristers from gloucester cathedral, not winchester cathedral as we said. gloucester cathedral’s carol services are on dec 22 and 23. december 12, 2024we said that some vegan substitutes were worse for the planet than meat and dairy (news, dec 5). while vegan processed food compared badly with vegan whole food on environmental grounds, it rated worse than meat and dairy only when factors such as cost were taken into account. december 11, 2024we wrongly said the vast majority of the extra £3.4 billion scotland will receive from the most recent budget comes from english taxpayers (comment, dec 9). in fact 89 per cent is funded by scottish taxpayers. december 10, 2024in acknowledging that we had wrongly referred to “wrangling 6.9 million people on sickness benefits back to work” (corrections and clarifications, dec 9), we failed to make clear that only a minority of those claiming disability benefits are both of working age and out of work. december 9, 2024we wrongly referred to the government’s task of “wrangling 6.9 million people on sickness benefits back to work” (comment, dec 6). while 6.9 million claim disability benefits, such benefits are also available to employed people. november 22, 2024 an article about mayo walters, who died at dignitas in april, wrongly described her as having been the first female judge in kenya (news, nov 16). in fact it was stated in her eulogy that she was the first white female magistrate in nairobi. we are happy to put this on record. november 11, 2024an article on the reopened investigation into the death of jeannette may (nee bishop) referred to telegrams purporting to link her to a robbery at christie’s, and said she knew the antiques dealer sergio vaccari (news, nov 5). in fact the police concluded the telegrams were a hoax, and ties between may and vaccari were ruled out at an inquest. we are happy to make this clear. november 9, 2024we wrongly said that jacqueline aston “lost her job” at a care home after she was found guilty of three charges of stalking (news, oct 25). she resigned of her own volition. november 8, 2024we said it was not lady carbisdale but another woman who was given a police warning after a disturbance in the aftermath of a council meeting (magazine, oct 12). we have since been provided with evidence suggesting this was inaccurate. we are happy to set this on record. november 7, 2024we wrongly suggested that resolutions on rewilding and pride events, which were rejected at an annual general meeting of the national trust, were proposed by the group restore trust (news, nov 2). the group’s candidates stood for election to the national trust council at the meeting, but it did not put forward the resolutions. november 6, 2024we quoted concerns that a ship carrying potentially explosive material was docked by a nuclear power station at great yarmouth (news, nov 2). the town’s power station runs on gas, not nuclear fuel. november 2, 2024a production error led to three pictures being placed next to the wrong caption in “joe’s favourite lime green plants” in today’s weekend section. the plant at the top right is euphorbia palustris (spurge); the middle picture is cotinus coggygria ‘golden spirit’ (smoke bush); and the bottom right is heuchera ‘lime marmalade’ (coral bells). november 1, 2024 in “debate over class action funding”, (law, oct 3), we stated that the law firm pogust goodhead had made a typographical error in its retainer with its clients which meant it would cap its fees at 50 per cent rather than 35 per cent. in fact, the typographical error was in one place and all other references were to the correct fee cap of 50 per cent. we also said that the high court criticised and reduced the firm’s costs of £343 million when in fact the judge did not single out pogust goodhead and this figure actually represented the overall costs and disbursements sought by all 19 claimant law firms in the case. pogust goodhead has asked us to point out that the defendants’ costs were also significantly reduced. we apologise for the errors and have made a payment to pogust goodhead which it intends to donate to the access to justice foundation. we reported sarah wright as saying residents refused to pay for repairs to whitebarns lane in hertfordshire (news, oct 30). in fact she said they cannot afford to. we are happy to make this clear. october 31, 2024we suggested ben delo of bitmex had been indicted in a us court and that certain findings of fact had been made against him (news, apr 12). it has been pointed out to us, and we accept, that this was incorrect. the hearing in question concerned a civil claim against hdr global trading limited and others, including mr delo, and concerned the question of whether the new york court had jurisdiction over mr delo. we are happy to clarify that the us court made no finding of fact in the hearing against mr delo and expressed no view on the merits of the civil claim. we apologise to mr delo for the errors and distress caused and are happy to set the record straight. october 25, 2024the recipe for mary berry’s all in one victoria sponge requires 225g self raising flour, not 22g as we said (weekend, oct 18). october 22, 2024statutory maternity and paternity pay can be reclaimed by employers from the government, but not sick pay as we said (law, oct 17). an open letter from health professionals cited claims that the nhs could save £18.8 billion per year if a plant based diet were adopted by the whole population of england. the figure did not refer only to people in hospitals as we wrongly said (news, oct 21). october 19, 2024the children of women sent to prison are at an increased risk of justice involvement but are not more than twice as likely to end up in jail as we said (news, sep 28). october 17, 2024we said betting companies had donated £1.08 million to labour (comment, oct 15). in fact £1 million of the money was from a former casino entrepreneur who now campaigns for gambling reform. the latest gambling commission figure for problem gamblers aged 11 17 is 40,000, not 55,000 as we said. the betting and gaming council has asked us to make clear that the commission’s figures relate to problem gambling, a sub clinical classification indicating loss of control and the presence of adverse consequences from gambling, not gambling addiction, which is a recognised mental health disorder requiring diagnosis by a healthcare professional. october 16, 2024we said bbc arabic and bbc persian had been closed down (editorial, oct 14). in fact only the radio stations were cut; the tv channels and online services are still available. october 12, 2024we apologise for a production error that has left the codeword on p46 of today’s mindgames incomplete. october 7, 2024photographs of an apparent confrontation between sue gray and michael bourke in the no 10 downing street garden were taken by a freelance photographer, not by a no 10 insider as we wrongly suggested (news, oct 7). october 2, 2024necrotising fasciitis is caused by a bacterial infection, not a virus as a headline wrongly said (news, oct 1). a story on flooding in the coastal village of golspie, sutherland, was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of crovie, aberdeenshire (news, scotland, sep 30). october 1, 2024we wrongly said dame elizabeth esteve coll was the first female vice chancellor of a traditional british university when she took up the position at the university of east anglia in 1995 (obituary, sep 25). dame lillian penson became vice chancellor of the university of london in 1948. september 14, 2024in peter sidwell’s sourdough bread recipe (magazine, page 35) we omitted the strong white flour in the method. step 2 should read: add the remaining white flour, plus the wholemeal or rye flour and the seeds to the bowl and, using your hands or a dough hook, mix until it forms a soft ball. we apologise for the error. september 13, 2024a headline wrongly said britain was “spending less than romania on early education” (news, sep 11). in fact, as the article made clear, britain spends less than the oecd average but more than romania. september 12, 2024a photo of a touring production of birdsong showed charlie russell with james esler, not max bowden as we said (news, sep 11). we said the islamic students association of britain (isab) had been reported by the bbc to have promoted several events marking the death of the islamic revolutionary guard corps (irgc) commander qasem soleimani (news, feb 14). while the isab promoted two online talks by active and retired members of the irgc, and on january 5 organised an in person protest at the us embassy against soleimani’s assassination, the organisation says it had no involvement with a vigil held at its west london base later the same day, at which chants of “death to israel” were heard. we are happy to put this on record. september 4, 2024ajay chowdhury is a former editor of the journal of the james bond international fan club, not a former president of the organisation as we said (news, sep 2). august 30, 2024a story about the sighting of a ghost orchid in herefordshire (news, aug 28) wrongly said the flower was native to florida. the error was introduced in the editing process. august 29, 2024 the viking onshore wind farm will power half a million homes on the british mainland, not on the shetland islands as we said (“britain ‘must speed up clean energy’”, business, aug 29). august 28, 2024an item on diving holidays was illustrated with a photograph of the azure window rock arch on the coast of gozo (travel, aug 24). the formation collapsed in 2017. august 21, 2024a project to reintroduce traditional all female yue opera to shanghai received funding from uk research and innovation, not the british council as we said (news, aug 21). august 19, 2024 we wrongly said that personal independence payment is for people who are medically unfit for work, and that gps acted as gatekeepers for the benefit (comment, aug 19). the benefit is also available to those in work and gps do not decide on eligibility. august 17, 2024we said the uk council for psychotherapy had apologised for terminating the membership of the gender critical trainee therapist james esses, and had admitted wrongdoing (news, aug 17). this was incorrect: the ukcp has not apologised or admitted any wrongdoing. a photograph illustrating a good walk (weekend, aug 17) showed fountains hall, not markenfield hall as the caption wrongly said. august 16, 2024an article on the sentences handed down to just stop oil protesters said the offence of public nuisance required that offenders’ actions must cause or risk harm to the public (comment, aug 16). in fact the relevant act also covers obstructing the public in the exercise of their rights, and it was this element that was cited in the charges against the protesters. we are happy to make this clear. august 15, 2024a picture accompanying our article on the wreck of the earl of abergavenny (news, aug 14) showed not john wordsworth who captained the ship but an anglican bishop of the same name. in “founder accused of insider dealing raises stake in firm” (aug 15), we reported that sara murray of big technologies is at the centre of a high court battle over alleged insider dealing. in fact the claim is a claim under the companies act for rectification and damages following alleged misrepresentations by ms murray. ms murray is not a party to the proceedings. we are happy to correct the record. august 11, 2024an obituary of frederick crews contained errors (aug 7). sigmund freud altered his theories in 1897, not 1987; and crews alleged that freud accepted only american clients after the first world war, not the second world war. the photograph in our birthdays tomorrow column on saturday (aug 10) showed not joe jackson the musician as we said, but the father of michael jackson. we apologise for the mistake. august 7, 2024an article by michael johnson on olympic athletics was wrongly credited in some editions to michael jordan (sport, aug 6). we apologise for the mistake. august 6, 2024we wrongly referred to a salary threshold at which the spouses of legal migrants can legally settle in britain (leading article, aug 6). the threshold applies to the incomes of british citizens wishing to sponsor a foreign spouse. the result of a women’s hockey olympic quarter final match was netherlands 3 great britain 1, not a 1 1 draw as we said (sport, aug 6). july 24, 2024we reported that the dismissed police officer james endean had been a white ribbon champion (news, jul 23). he had acted as such during a thames valley police awareness week, but the charity white ribbon uk say he held no such position with them. we are happy to make this clear. july 17, 2024we wrongly attributed to the hungarian prime minister viktor orban a comment made to the bbc about hungary’s policy on ukraine (leading article, jul 16). the comment was made by the hungarian government spokesman zoltan kovacs, who says his words were taken out of context. we are happy to make this clear.july 4, 2024our obituary of david coumbe (register, jun 29) stated he was an only child. in fact he had a sister, maureen, who survives him. we apologise for the error. july 2, 2024we wrongly said that keir starmer worked as a barrister on the 1993 appeals of earl pratt and ivan morgan, who were held on death row in jamaica (news, july 1). he worked on the linked cases of four other death row inmates whose appeals were heard at that time. june 28, 2024a graph comparing the performance of alliance trust and witan (business, jun 27) transposed the two companies’ share prices. june 15, 2024 we wrongly attributed to grace o’malley kumar’s mother, sinéad o’malley, a statement by barnaby webber’s mother, emma webber, about receiving a letter from the family of valdo calocane, the killer of their children (news, jun 14). we apologise for the error. june 2, 2024 in recording eva petulengro’s surviving children, we failed to mention her son bradley (obituary, may 30). we apologise for the omission. may 31, 2024 we said a theatre show to be funded by creative scotland would have charged people £270 a day to take part in sex acts in the highlands (news, may 31). in fact this was the daily rate performers would have been paid. may 29, 2024the liberal democrats had 15 mps in parliament, not 14 as we wrongly said (news, may 23).may 27, 2024lord rees of ludlow is 81, not 95 as we wrongly said (news, may 27). may 26, 2024 a report on james allen’s girls’ school was wrongly illustrated in the print edition with a picture of dulwich college (news, may 25). may 24, 2024we said ben delo of the crypto asset exchange bitmex was being indicted in a us court and certain findings of fact were made against him (news, apr 12). in fact the ruling solely concerned a decision on jurisdiction in a civil claim. mr delo was not indicted and no findings of fact were made against him. we apologise for the errors. may 23, 2024in a live blog reporting remarks made by paul johnson, director of the institute for fiscal studies, we said that tony blair and gordon brown knew about the infected blood scandal and “deliberately decided not to do anything about it” (digital editions, may 20). while mr johnson spoke about the knowledge and conduct of ministers during the blair brown years, based on his own experience in the treasury at the time, he did not single out either mr blair or mr brown. we are happy to make this clear.may 22, 2024we reported claims that the covid inquiry, which has cost £94 million so far, is ten times more expensive than the leveson inquiry (news, may 15). in fact the leveson inquiry cost £5.6 million. we are happy to make this clear. may 10, 2024we said that brian altman kc admitted he was “catastrophically incorrect” to clear post office executives of wrongdoing (news, may 9). in fact he used those words to describe faulty information on which he based his 2013 review. we are also happy to clarify that he carried out a review of the post office’s strategy and processes for reviewing the prosecutions, not a review of the prosecutions themselves. may 7, 2024a report on protests at cambridge university included quotes from a demonstrator who claimed to be mahmoud atallah, a student at lucy cavendish college (news, may 7). the college has informed us it has no student of that name. we are happy to put this on record. may 5, 2024we wrongly said that anita pallenberg was the wife of two members of the rolling stones (saturday review, may 4). pallenberg had long term relationships with brian jones and keith richards, but did not marry either. may 3, 2024the kingdom built by herod was not the first jewish state in israel, as we wrongly say in the headline to simon sebag montefiore’s review of herod the great by martin goodman (saturday review, may 4). april 29, 2024britain’s highest decoration for civilian or non operational gallantry is the george cross, not the george medal as we said (world, apr 27). april 20, 2024 we wrongly attributed a complaint about amol rajan’s pronunciation of “aitch” to edwina smart of eastleigh (news, apr 9). we apologise for the error. april 10, 2024we have been asked to make clear that, while the rspca and wwf are members of wildlife and countryside link (wcl), they were not involved in statements concerning ethnic minorities in the countryside that were made by wcl to a parliamentary group (news, feb 9). we are happy to put this on record. april 4, 2024the police are testing 6,000 suspects a month for drugs, not 30,000 as we said (news, apr 3). march 21, 2024we apologise for the printing error that led to the duplication of page 63 in some editions. march 18, 2024in reporting a call for a boycott of scottish farmed salmon, we failed to include a response provided by the body representing the industry (news, mar 15). scottish salmon’s position is that “scottish salmon farmers provide the highest welfare standards anywhere in the world for the animals in their care, and are independently certified by rspca assured.” we are happy to put this on record. in a letter on assisted dying (mar 14), baroness hollins wrote “the recent health and social care select committee report recommended: ‘it is essential to uphold the commitment to universal access to palliative care in the health and care act before further consideration is given to changing the law’.” we have been asked to make clear that the words summarised her understanding of the select committee’s recommendations and were not a verbatim quotation from its report. march 15, 2024an interview with earl spencer in the magazine today mistakenly says he was in the bullingdon club at oxford. in fact he was invited to join but turned it down. it is the gender identity development service at the tavistock centre that is closing at the end of the month, not the tavistock centre itself as we said in a caption in our digital edition (news, mar 12). march 8, 2024due to a late schedule change by channel 4, the film 20 days in mariupol will now be shown on monday at 10.30pm and not on thursday as printed in today’s review section. march 6, 2024we said lloyds and halifax share the same financial services compensation scheme licence (money, mar 2). this was incorrect: the banks have separate licences, each of which protects up to £85,000 of customer deposits. we wrongly said paolo fresia is a member of patriotic millionaires (luxx, mar 2). while he has sympathy with many of the organisation’s aims, he is not a member. march 1, 2024we wrongly attributed an observation about the cost of living to abigail morris, the lead singer in the band the last dinner party, who was educated at bedales (“is there a future for bands? why i fear for rock’n’roll”, times2, feb 29). in fact our interviewer was speaking to georgia davies, the band’s bassist. we apologise for the error. february 29, 2024in “revealed: the middlemen ripping off foreign workers for care visas” (online, feb 23, and in print under the headline “foreign care workers are ripped off by visa agents”, news, feb 24) we mistakenly published an image of yash dubal, director and senior immigration associate at ay & j solicitors. we confirm that neither mr dubal nor his firm has any connection with the issues raised in the article and we apologise for the error. february 23, 2024in “former lawyer must repay saudi princess millions he spent on yacht” (online, feb 21) we mistakenly published a picture of the cruise yacht elysium, owned by elixir cruises, and not the motor yacht elysium that is the subject of the legal proceedings against ronald gibbs. we confirm that the former has no connection with the ongoing dispute and we apologise for the error. february 22, 2024cs venkatakrishnan, the barclays chief executive, was paid £5.2 million in 2022, not £5.2 billion as we wrongly said (business, feb 22). february 21, 2024we wrongly said in a caption (business, feb 21) that frasers group is suing morgan stanley over a $1 million cash demand. the correct figure is £1 billion. february 15, 2024andrew saunders is an analyst at shore capital, not peel hunt as we wrongly said (“picking out some hot properties”, business, feb 15). february 15, 2024we reported that an article in a withdrawn issue of the royal society of literature’s magazine referred to “the israeli war machine” (“war of wisely chosen words at literature’s royal society”, news, feb 3). while the article in question referred to “the devastating machinery of the israeli state in operation: the armed checkpoints, apartheid road systems, arbitrary identity checks against palestinian children and other violent structural harms”, the rsl has asked us to make clear that the phrase “israeli war machine” was not used. february 14, 2024the walls of the small modular reactor pressure vessel built by sheffield forgemasters are 20 centimetres thick, not 2 centimetres as we wrongly said (business, feb 12). february 13, 2024marcel anisfeld (obituary, feb 13) is also survived by his daughters suzanne and candice in addition to his wife, irene, son lance and daughter sharon. february 11, 2024we wrongly described celia kitzinger as a professor of psychology at the university of york and a campaigner for assisted dying (catholic neurologist cleared of letting faith prejudice court evidence, news, feb 8). she is a retired professor of sociology and campaigns to promote advance decisions on refusing treatment. february 7, 2024an opinion column stated that a government commissioned report into the teesworks development “contradicted several linchpin claims made in private eye” about the project, including on the sale of land and dividends received by business partners (juliet samuel, “rare tory success offers model for the future”, comment, jan 31). this was incorrect. while the report provided context on deals related to the land sale and use of dividends that in our opinion justifies a more positive view than was taken by private eye, we accept that it did not contradict claims made by the magazine. february 3, 2024we wrongly say in the magazine today (“why everyone wants what he’s having”) that st john, smithfield, is run by fergus and margot henderson and trevor gulliver. margot henderson has no affiliation with the restaurant. january 22, 2024while peter neumann, professor of security studies at king’s college london, has taught students on a king’s counter terrorism course, he is not the “course director” as we wrongly said (news, jan 17, 18). we are happy to make this clear. january 4, 2024we referred to claims made against the late greville janner “and other unconvicted sex offenders” (comment, dec 29). while lord janner of braunstone was charged with 22 offences relating to nine complainants, he died before the offences could be tried. we are happy to make this clear. january 3, 2024a book review referring to mary wollstonecraft was wrongly illustrated with a portrait of her daughter, mary shelley (saturday review, dec 30). december 31, 2023an article about rolls royce, the aerospace engineer, was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of a rolls royce car. the motor manufacturer is a separate unrelated company. december 22, 2023in an article about a sponsorship deal with the science museum (dec 5) we stated that its chief executive would no longer be involved in decisions over the ethics of sponsorship deals. we have been asked by the science museum’s chair to clarify that, while the ceo is not part of a new advisory group that reviews the ethics of those deals, he remains involved in decisions taken by the board of trustees. we are happy to do so. december 19, 2023the name of sir tim brighouse’s first wife was mary demer, not mary demmers as we wrongly said (obituaries, dec 19). december 18, 2023the world vapers’ alliance did not hand out free e cigarettes from its “vape bus”, as we wrongly said (news, dec 14 & 15). it gave out free branded merchandise such as hats and mugs. december 8, 2023we wrongly said that the county councils network (cnn) had claimed middle class parents are to blame for councils’ budget crises (comment, dec 7). while individual council sources may have made such claims, we have been asked to make clear that this is not the position of the cnn. december 7, 2023we said that benefit fraudsters make up 2 per cent of the uk’s annual fraud and tax fraudsters 69 per cent (magazine, dec 2). the latest figures put benefit fraud at £6.4bn and the “tax gap” (the amount of tax going unpaid) at £35.8bn. the latter figure includes tax lost to error, legal avoidance and all kinds of non compliance, as well as fraud. we are happy to make this clear. december 4, 2023reporting the acquittal of chris mceleny on charges of causing a disturbance (scotland, dec 1), we referred in a headline to a claim heard in court that some of mr mceleny’s evidence was “unreliable and not credible”. as the accompanying article explained, the claim about mr mceleny’s evidence was made by the fiscal depute prosecuting the case. we are happy to make this clear. december 1, 2023a letter published on nov 28 said 63 per cent of london’s population were born overseas. in fact 41 per cent were born overseas and 63 per cent are from ethnic minorities. november 27, 2023we reported a suggestion from a botanist in south africa (news, november 23) that the royal botanic gardens, kew, should repatriate some specimens from its herbarium instead of moving them to reading. kew has asked us to make clear that the national heritage act 1983 limits trustees’ abilities to “repatriate or otherwise dispose of” items in its collections, and that its herbarium will remain fully accessible to staff, students and visiting researchers. november 18, 2023in an article on the cricket world cup (sport, nov 15) we reported that “it was rumoured that a few [england] players had to be helped on to the plane for their evening flight after the farewell do”. the professional cricketers association has stated that: “the players were not drinking alcohol and they all left early to catch their flight in a professional manner.” we are happy to make this clear. we wrongly said the uk’s october inflation figure had yet to be published (news, nov 17). the figure of 4.6 per cent had been released on nov 15. november 6, 2023we said the founders of marks and spencer were zionist jews (comment, nov 4). michael marks was a zionist jew; thomas spencer was not jewish. we said frank sinatra sang my way at government house in nairobi in 1952 (comment, nov 4). in fact sinatra’s performance did not include the song, which was not released until 1969. november 4, 2023our obituary for jennifer white shah (register, nov 2) was wrongly illustrated with a photo of nanette newman. we apologise for the error. october 31, 2023we said andy mcdonald mp chanted, “between the river and the sea, palestine will be free,” at a rally (news, oct 30). in fact he said, “until all people, israelis and palestinians, between the river and the sea, can live in peaceful liberty.” we apologise for the error. october 28, 2023the royal conservatoire of scotland is in glasgow, not edinburgh as we wrongly suggested (times2, oct 26). october 27, 2023we said a case on the legality of the rwanda scheme would be heard by the european court of human rights next month (comment, oct 26). in fact the case will be heard by the uk supreme court in november: a related case may be put before the echr at a later date. october 26, 2023an opinion column referred to reports that women in labour in scotland might no longer be offered entonox for pain relief (magazine, oct 21). nhs scotland has informed us that no such proposal is being considered. we are happy to put this on record. october 20, 2023we wrongly said life expectancy in scotland had fallen by 4.4 years over the past decade (leading article, oct 18). the latest national records of scotland figures for life expectancy at birth in scotland show a decrease of 0.1 years between 2010 12 and 2020 22. a thunderer column on “the death of handwriting” (comment, oct 18) wrongly said ofqual had given permission for some gcse exams to be taken on laptops. in fact the regulator has yet to see detailed proposals from the aqa exam board. we are happy to make this clear. october 17, 2023a headline said “pret’s food goes up five times more than rivals” (news, sep 27). the article compared price rises on specific pret a manger items with the average rise in takeaway sandwiches over the last year. pret a manger says its average price rise was substantially less than the headline suggested. we are happy to make this clear.. october 13, 2023the protester who threw glitter on sir keir starmer was from people demand democracy, not make votes count as we wrongly said (comment, oct 12). october 12, 2023akshata murty is now paying uk taxes on worldwide income because she no longer claims the “remittance basis”, but she has not given up her non dom status as we wrongly said (news, sep 28). october 11, 2023we said a video appearance by andrey kurkov at the lviv bookforum was cancelled (news, oct 7). in fact the event went ahead despite online protests. october 4, 2023we said a doctor was paid £7,853 to cover a shift at the walton centre, a neurology unit in liverpool (news, oct 2). the hospital now says it misinterpreted the times freedom of information request, and that the highest rate paid for a 24 hour shift was £2,840. october 2, 2023a thunderer column on the cost of net zero cited findings from a report by civitas (comment, sep 27). civitas has since withdrawn the report, which was found to contain factual errors. the scottish government has not published plans to massively expand cage capacity for farmed salmon, as we wrongly said (times earth, sep 21). a statement in the same article that farmed salmon live short, unhealthy lives reported the view of some environmentalists and we are happy to make this clear. mrs justice roberts was determining the mental capacity of sudiksha thirumalesh to challenge doctors’ views about her treatment, not imposing an anonymity order as we wrongly said. the wide ranging transparency order governing the case had already been imposed by mr justice francis and was not in issue (corrections & clarifications, sep 27). september 30, 2023an article on the conscious advertising network (can) referred to “the campaign’s boycotts” of advertising platforms (news, aug 21). the claim that can organises boycotts was made by a group of conservative mps. can says it has never organised or called for boycotts and the allegation is untrue. we are happy to make this clear. september 28, 2023xlcc plans to produce subsea electricity cables that would incur power losses of only 3 per cent per 620 miles, not 62 miles as we wrongly stated (“subsea cable factory lays out £1.4bn bid”, business, sep 26). the mistake was due to an editing error. september 26, 2023an anonymity order in the case of sudiksha thirumalesh was imposed by mrs justice roberts, not mr justice roberts as we wrongly said (news, sep 23). we wrongly said that the uk’s first vegetarian restaurant was on carnaby street in the 1960s (news, sep 23). in fact vegetarian restaurants have existed here for more than a century. a photograph with the same article showed a carnaby street fashion event in paris, not the street itself. september 22, 2023we wrongly said that british tourists need an international driving permit to drive in spain (world news, sep 16), although some fines have been issued in error by local police. september 20, 2023we said the eu was working on an agreement that meant each member state would take a minimum of 30,000 migrants annually, and that richer member states would have to accept up to 120,000 migrants per year (news, sep 13 & 15). in fact those minimum and maximum figures would apply across eu members, with the larger states taking a greater share. september 19, 2023we wrongly said that mohammad hussain ataee, a former official with the islamic students association of britain, talked with ezzatollah zarghami, a general in iran’s revolutionary guard (news, aug 5). no such meeting took place. august 28, 2023extracts from unstoppable by mark hughes (sport, aug 20 & 21) were abridged and edited for serialisation, not taken verbatim from the published book. online versions of the extracts have since been amended to reflect the author’s exact wording throughout. august 26, 2023in an article first published on december 19, 2022, under the headline “labour selects miners scandal lawyer”, we incorrectly suggested that jerry hague, a prospective labour party candidate, had in 2010 been found guilty of professional misconduct for dishonestly misleading sick ex miners seeking compensation for industrial injuries. we incorrectly suggested he had done so by perpetrating a scam against them when improperly deducting monies from their compensation. we accept that this allegation is false. whilst mr hague did make admissions to the solicitors disciplinary tribunal of professional failings, they concerned the failure to provide better information to clients under professional practice rules and did not concern dishonesty, which was never alleged against him. we further accept that we omitted from the article that the tribunal concluded that mr hague, and his firm graysons, did not act unethically and had provided a good high level of professional service to their clients. we apologise to mr hague for these errors and for the distress caused and have agreed to pay him substantial damages and costs. august 21, 2023the number of 18 year olds in receipt of free school meals who have been accepted by universities this year has risen by about 2,000, not fallen sharply as we said (leading article, aug 17). the plan for covid boosters to be made available for anyone to buy is not the result of a rule change (news, aug 18). we are happy to make this clear. august 16, 2023we said in a headline that leaving money to charity could be a “win” for the deceased’s loved ones (money, aug 5). while the course of action outlined in the article would lead to a reduction in the amount (and rate) of inheritance tax paid it would not result in a net gain for the deceased’s heirs. we are happy to make this clear. august 12, 2023we said barnton bunker was built for the late queen in the event of nuclear war (news, aug 9). while the owners say this was rumoured, there is no evidence it was the case. august 11, 2023lord mendoza does not succeed duncan wilson as chairman of historic england, as we wrongly said (news, aug 10). wilson remains chief executive. the outgoing chairman is sir laurie magnus. august 7, 2023we wrongly attributed new judicial guidance on judges’ conduct to hm court and tribunals service (news, aug 5). august 5, 2023we said in a headline that british companies were exporting key equipment to russia “despite sanctions” (business, jul 31). we are happy to make clear that hill & smith plc and its subsidiary companies have never had a direct customer relationship with, or provided equipment to, any sanctioned entity in russia. august 3, 2023an article headlined “radcliffe: trust children to transition”, published on april 13, 2023, reported comments made by three high court judges in 2020 that children aged 13 and under would be highly unlikely to be able to give their competent consent for treatment to begin their transition. this was misleading as to the current legal position in light of a subsequent ruling by the court of appeal which found that it was inappropriate for the high court to reach such general age related conclusions. this correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the independent press standards organisation. august 2, 2023in “post office scandal: fujitsu staff ‘complicit in cover up” (news, aug 2) we wrongly published an image of simon henderson. we apologise for the error. july 27, 2023archie norman is the chairman of m&s, not the former chairman as we said. michael house was the name of the company’s headquarters on baker street, not of its flagship oxford street store (news, jul 21). july 24, 2023we wrongly attributed lyrics to the pink floyd album the dark side of the moon (news, jul 21). the lyrics quoted were from the band’s earlier album, obscured by clouds. july 21, 2023we said in a headline that elizabeth winkler’s recent book claimed shakespeare was a woman. (t2, jul 7). ms winkler has asked us to make clear that her book explores various theories, including the possibility of a woman’s hand in the plays, while leaving readers to make up their own minds. july 20, 2023a 41 gun salute to honour the queen’s birthday was performed by members of the king’s troop royal horse artillery, not the honourable artillery company as a caption wrongly said (news, jul 18). july 18, 2023we wrongly said that the vexatious litigant david taheri had used jim davidson’s name to bring dozens of bogus discrimination claims against companies (news, jul 3). in fact only one of almost four dozen vexatious claims filed by taheri used the comedian’s name. we are happy to put the record straight. july 17, 2023the designer of the cha table, commended by viaduct furniture at the new designers graduate exhibition, is helen wat, not amy chan as we wrongly said (bricks & mortar, july 14). we apologise for the error. july 15, 2023an editing error changed “buy to leave” to “buy to let” in a letter from barbara melrose (july 4). we apologise for the confusion. july 10, 2023we wrongly attributed to lord burnett of maldon the view of kirsty brimelow, chair of the criminal bar, that “crumbling courts, delays and the general ongoing crisis in the criminal courts shake confidence in the justice system as a whole.” (news, july 6). our apologies. july 8, 2023in the obituary for paul rendall (june 14) we referred to some post rugby match high jinks in which rendall donned a judge’s wig and “passed sentence” on his friend jeff probyn. we now understand that the incident involved another rugby player and not mr probyn. we apologise for the mistaken identity. july 4, 2023the mcc member whose photograph was used with our article “do mcc members feel part of the problem?” (sport, june 29) was not one of those who spoke to our journalist about the independent commission for equity in cricket report. we are happy to make this clear. july 3, 2023in reporting evidence given in the criminal prosecution of ghislaine maxwell (news, december 2, 2021), we made a wrongful allegation about emmy tayler. we accept that this was not a correct account and apologise sincerely to ms tayler for the harm and upset caused to her. we have agreed to pay damages and legal costs. june 21, 2023norway’s sovereign wealth fund is worth about $1.4 trillion, not $1.4 billion as we wrongly said (news, jun 20). june 19, 2023we said new storeys and departments were to be added at hillingdon hospital (news, jun 17). in fact the hospital is to be demolished and replaced with new buildings. june 10, 2023we said that john morris had been the longest serving welsh mp in history (obituary, june 7). in fact david lloyd george served three more years. june 8, 2023we reported that in the style’s stock had fallen 99.6 per cent in the past year and its founder had announced plans to enter compulsory liquidation (times 2, june 7). in fact it is itsarm, the former parent company of in the style, that made the announcement after the fall in its share price. june 5, 2023raymond simonson is not known as ray and is chief executive of jw3, not the jewish museum as we wrongly said (news, jun 3). we are sorry for the errors. june 2, 2023lord (robert) carswell attended pembroke college, oxford, not cambridge as we wrongly said (obituary, jun 1). may 31, 2023a photo of uwe kitzinger at a march in his nineties (obituary, may 30) showed him with his daughter jenny, not her sister tess as we wrongly said. may 30, 2023we wrongly said that no peer was appointed by a resignation honours list between 1997 and 2016 (news, may 27). in fact, as well as those created in the resignation honours lists of 1997 and 2016, 31 peers were created this way in 2010. may 29, 2023vernon kay is not a party in a court case over planning permission for a cabin near his home (news, may 26). we are happy to make this clear. we stated that an indicative from lecram holdings valued purplebricks at £153 million, rather than £1.53 million (business, may 28). we apologise for the error. may 16, 2023we suggested on november 21, 2022, that dinah rose kc had been ruled against for recklessness by the bar standards board. this was incorrect. the board made no ruling against her and found no evidence of recklessness. we accept that under the constitutional principles which she cited, the bar rules did not allow her to refuse a brief for the cayman islands government in a case concerning the right to same sex marriage. the article was therefore misleading. we apologise to ms rose for the distress caused, and have agreed to pay her substantial damages and legal costs. may 11, 2023in “clock ticking on wasps’ new start” (sport, may 10) we mistakenly reported that the wasps legends charitable foundation was thought to have provided working capital when the club was bought out of administration. it did not. we apologise for the error. may 10, 2023an arrest photographed during the coronation was not that of graham smith, leader of the anti monarchy group republic, as our caption wrongly said (news, may 8). may 8, 2023we wrongly referred to commander allan tarver as an raf pilot (obituary, may 3). commander tarver served with the royal navy’s fleet air arm. we apologise for the error. april 28,2023a photograph showed the king presenting new colours to the life guards, not to the royal navy as our caption wrongly said (news, april 28). april 27, 2023just stop oil’s avowed aim is for the government to stop licensing all new oil, gas and coal projects, not to force an immediate halt to all use of fossil fuels as we said (leading article, apr 27). april 26, 2023lord (narendra) patel is expected to carry the sovereign’s ring at the coronation, not lord (kamlesh) patel of bradford as we wrongly suggested in some editions (news, apr 24). we reported the results of polling by river action uk (“tackling river pollution could bring flood of votes”, news, apr 25). we have since been made aware that yougov gave the charity access to its polling panel on the understanding that results would not be made public, as they were not properly weighted and the questions were not approved by yougov. we are happy to make this clear. april 19, 2023sir nicholas bonsor served as chairman of the british field sports society, not the british association for shooting and conservation as we wrongly said (obituary, apr 8). april 14, 2023we said junior doctors’ pay rises with each year of training (news, apr 13). in fact, their pay scale includes four rises during training that typically takes five to ten years. april 3, 2023member states of the cptpp trade bloc include brunei, not borneo as we wrongly said (leading article, apr 1). april 1, 2023the balaji family featured in “dream holiday ruined, but opodo won’t pay up” (money, mar 26) have since learnt that the £1,310 they thought they were owed had been repaid. we are happy to put the record straight. the picture used to illustrate an article on josé antonio primo de rivera (world news, mar 31) showed his father, miguel. march 30, 2023the culture secretary is lucy frazer, not michelle donelan as we wrongly said (news, mar 29). march 27, 2023we wrongly reported in an obituary of the fencer allan jay (march 22) that he had been briefly engaged to vanessa salmon (who later married nigel lawson). we are happy to set the record straight and apologise for the mistake. march 23, 2023we wrongly said graham stanton had been charged with manslaughter (news, print edition, mar 20). in fact he has been charged with failing to render assistance after a boat accident in the british virgin islands. march 21, 2023the dividend yields published in our share price listing pages (business) were found last month to contain errors. we have temporarily suspended publication of this data while our supplier identifies and resolves the problem. as soon as we are satisfied that the data supplied to us is correct, publication will be resumed. we apologise for any inconvenience in the meantime. march 17, 2023we wrongly said that customers of the energy firm utilita had to pay by direct debit (news, mar 16). in fact it is a pay as you go specialist. march 14, 2023we said all the uk’s nuclear submarines were built at barrow in furness (business, mar 13). in fact three were built at cammell laird in birkenhead. march 10, 2023we wrongly described nicola fox as nasa’s new chief scientist (news, mar 6) instead of head of science. march 9, 2023we wrongly said rl stine had censored some of his goosebumps books (news, mar 3). in fact they were changed without his knowledge. march 3, 2023a report about a house of lords debate on the national security bill (news, mar 2) referred to lord (guy) black of brentwood, deputy chairman of the telegraph media group, as lord black of crossharbour. we apologise for the mistake, which was introduced in editing. february 29, 2023on february 24 we reported that ronesans was the constructor of a 12 storey residence in antakya that collapsed in the earthquake. this was incorrect and we apologise for the error. the 12 storey residence was in fact constructed by an entity that has no connection to ronesans holding. february 28, 2023michael rosen has asked us to correct or clarify a number of points in his interview (weekend, feb 25). he did not use the words “sensitivity reader”. while he said he would not himself now use the words “fat” and “ugly”, he did not comment on whether they should be in other books for children. he was re enacting cowboy films a few years after the holocaust, not “a couple of decades”. he did not say he had worked with the dahl family. his youtube readings have had 128.5 million views, not 300 400 million. he has done what he can to get antisemitic “remixes” of his videos removed from youtube. his wife is a trainee case worker, not an immigration lawyer. we are happy to put the record straight and apologise for the mistakes. we wrongly said that the winnie the pooh books had fallen out of copyright (saturday review, feb 25). in fact aa milne’s books winnie the pooh, the house at pooh corner, when we were very young and now we are six all remain in copyright in the uk and much of the rest of the world. february 20, 2023our brief summary of a news story on house prices was unclear, wrongly suggesting they had risen only £14 in a year (feb 20). as the full story explained, reported figures indicate that on average prices rose by £14 in the last month. the rise over a year was £13,648. we apologise for the confusion. february 19, 2023we reported that the rower miriam payne, 23, had set a new atlantic record (feb 18). we have been asked to make clear that this was a new race record for the fastest solo female in the talisker whisky atlantic challenge, not a world record. the world record for the fastest solo female atlantic crossing is held by the rower victoria evans. february 15, 2023a letter said john christie was convicted of the murders of beryl and geraldine evans (feb 11). he was not, although he did at his own trial admit to killing beryl evans. february 11, 2023we wrongly reported that the average new zealand house price rose 45.7 per cent from $1.937 million at the start of the pandemic to $2.717 million in october 2021, and has fallen 11.1 per cent since then to $2.416 million (bricks & mortar, feb 10). in fact the median house price rose 43.3 per cent from $628,000 at the start of the pandemic to $900,000 in october 2021, and has since fallen 12.2 per cent to $790,000. february 8, 2023on january 26 we reported that tim martin, of jd wetherspoon, was criticised for telling his employees to “go to work at tesco” while pubs were closed during the pandemic. mr martin told employees that supermarkets needed staff in the pandemic, that staff offered that work could take it and that they would be given priority at jd wetherspoon should they return. we are happy to make that clear and apologise to jd wetherspoon and mr martin for the error. january 26, 2023because of an editing error, an article about french unions shutting ski lifts wrongly referred to the ski world cup instead of the world ski championships in courchevel and méribel, and gave the dates as march 16 20 rather than february 6 19 (news, jan 25). january 23, 2023we wrongly suggested (business, jan 19) that topps tiles had expressed quality concerns about cersanit’s products. january 20, 2023we wrongly reported that an independent review of the actions of the western front association over the censuring of jonathan d’hooghe only followed as a result of the annual meeting of branch chairmen (news, dec 28). in fact it was already under way by that time. the charity has also asked us to make clear that mr d’hooghe was removed as a trustee within two weeks of the first complaint being received. we are happy to put this on record and apologise for the mistake. january 13, 2023the headline and picture captions that accompanied an article published on january 11 (business) incorrectly stated that the plymouth brethren christian church is involved in a high court case over cancelled ppe deals and that the church was awarded a £100 million contract. the litigation is concerned with contracts awarded to companies with links to the church. we apologise for the error. january 12, 2023a report on a planning dispute (news, dec 29) was wrongly illustrated with a photograph of a property previously owned by the couple involved. we apologise for the error. january 9, 2023we wrongly referred to the crown prince of sweden (leading article, jan 7). the heir apparent to the swedish throne is crown princess victoria. january 5, 2023we said that nearly half the ski runs in zermatt were closed (news, jan 3). in fact the closed slopes are “off piste” runs. more than 240km of slopes are open, including the downhill runs to the village. we are happy to make this clear. january 2, 2023our story “bbc pays out £127m in golden goodbyes amid staff exodus” (news, dec 31) was accompanied by photographs of andrew marr, emily maitlis and jon sopel. in fact none of the pictured journalists received a severance payment from the bbc. we are happy to make this clear and apologise for any confusion caused. see corrections and

complaints about inaccuracies in all sections of the sunday times should be addressed to complaints@sunday times.co.uk or complaints, the sunday times, 1 london bridge street, london se1 9gf. find more details on our complaints procedure here. in addition, the independent press standards organisation (ipso) will examine formal complaints about the editorial content of uk newspapers and magazines. ■ february 9, 2025 a new police centre to tackle violence against women and girls will be based in ryton on dunsmore, warwickshire, not ryton, tyne and wear, as we wrongly said (news, feb 2). ■ january 26, 2025 we wrongly referred to oliver heath as an architect (home, jan 12). he is an architectural and interior designer. ■ january 12, 2025 we wrongly said that kemi badenoch and ed davey declined to speak at a farmers’ protest held in london last november (news, last week). both made speeches at the event. ■ december 29, 2024 a chart wrongly indicated that the total cost of a christmas dinner rose by 117 per cent between 2021 and 2024 (money, last week). this was a miscalculation on our part. the actual increase, based on figures supplied by interactive investor, was 33 per cent. we wrongly said the state pension age would gradually increase to 67 by 2036 (money, last week). the increase will be complete by 2028. ■ december 8, 2024 dr kieran mullan mp voted against the assisted dying bill, not in favour as we wrongly said (news, last week). we reported suggestions from labour sources that sam white leaked details of louise haigh’s conviction for fraud (news, last week). mr white has informed us the suggestions are baseless. we accept this and apologise for any distress caused. we reported that 1.6 million houses were built since 2010 under the conservatives (“labour ‘will build fewer houses than the tories’”, business, nov 17). in fact the figure represents net additions to the uk housing stock in the last six years of conservative rule. ■ november 10, 2024 we said in a review that hanif kureishi has always seen writing as “an act of relentless self renewal” (books, last week). professor ruvani ranasinha has asked us to make clear that she first coined the phrase in her biography of kureishi, writing the self. we are happy to put this on record. ■ october 13, 2024 in “isg owner breaks silence on firm’s collapse” (business, sep 29), we incorrectly reported that cathexis was facing a liquidity crisis (rather than a liquidity event) and that it attempted to sell isg after goldman sachs refused to extend cathexis a further line of credit and asked it to begin paying down debts. the events are unconnected. we are happy to apologise for the inaccuracy. ■ october 6, 2024 we said the reported cost of an outfit worn by radhika merchant at a pre wedding celebration was $900 million (world news, july 7). in fact the figure related to spending on the whole event rather than the outfit alone. ■ september 22, 2024 we said that over six years 20 pedestrians were killed in collisions with cyclists (news, last week). the figures cited were for the period 2011 16. we are happy to make this clear. ■ september 8, 2024 we said john lewis is planning to restructure its department store management teams in a move likely to herald job losses (business, last week). john lewis says there are no current plans to reduce management roles at the company, and it is wholly inaccurate to suggest otherwise. we are happy to put this statement on record. we wrongly said the £22 billion “black hole” in the uk’s finances is 0.0183 per cent of government spending (news, last week). the correct figure is 1.83 per cent. ■ september 1, 2024 we said a dozen labour mps, led by rupa huq, joined a zoom call to air concerns about changes to the winter fuel payment (news, last week). ms huq has informed us that while a government briefing call took place, she did not speak, or play any leading or organising role. we are happy to put this on record. ■ september 1, 2024 we described rosemary campbell stephens’s book educational leadership and the global majority: decolonising narratives as “required reading” for trainee teachers at the university of birmingham’s school of education (news review, jun 16). we have been asked to make clear that the phrase was used idiomatically and the book is not on any reading list there. ■ august 25, 2024 a recently introduced ticket gives travel on public transport in germany for €49 per month, not per year as we wrongly said (world news, last week). ■ august 25, 2024 an article in news review (august 11) said that in many wards of middlesbrough the pakistani and bangladeshi population outnumbers the indigenous population. this is incorrect: there are no wards where this is the case. ■ july 28, 2024 we said that in 2021 tom dean became the first british swimmer to win two gold medals at a single olympics for 113 years (magazine, last week). he was the first male swimmer to do so: rebecca adlington won two golds in 2008. ■ july 7, 2024 in early digital editions, a story on claims that a nazi song was sung and antisemitic chants heard at a warwick university conservative association dinner was illustrated with a picture of a gaza protest on the university campus (news, last week). the protest was unconnected with the dinner. we are happy to make this clear. ■ june 30, 2024 we wrongly said steve morgan had donated £44 million of shares to his charitable foundation (home, last week). he has donated 44 million shares, for which the valuation at the time was about £240 million. we apologise for the error. ■ june 16, 2024 a story on an inheritance dispute wrongly said al hasib mian muhammad abdullah al mahmood sent a text message altering his will on october 22, 2023 (money, last week). the message was sent on october 22, 2020. ■ june 7, 2024 the documentary the greatest love story never told was financed by artists equity, not jennifer lopez as we wrongly said (news, last week). ms lopez says the $20 million she invested in her film this is me … now: a love story was not “wasted”, as our online headline said, as she made a profit. we are happy to make this clear. ■ june 1, 2024 we said proposed reforms in new caledonia would allow recent arrivals in the territory to vote (world news, last week). in fact the reforms would give a vote to arrivals who have lived there 10 years or more, overriding current rules that restrict it to those who arrived by 1998. we are happy to make this clear. ■ march 25, 2024 chris rokos manages a hedge fund with £15 billion of assets, not £50 billion; and the annual turnover of the retailer home bargains is £3.8 billion, not £3.8 million as we wrongly said (rich list, print edition, last week). ■ march 24, 2024 figures from the english housing survey indicate that the proportion of people aged 25 to 34 in england who are homeowners is about 45 per cent, not 10 per cent as we wrongly said (news review, last week). relying on information published by chatham house, we said a latin american initiative launched by the body was financed by the hedge fund merlyn advisors (news, last week). chatham house has informed us this was incorrect and the information was published in error. we are happy to make this clear. ■ february 25, 2024 we said azhar ali was a founder member of muslims against antisemitism (news, last week). the group informs us mr ali has never been a member. we are happy to put this on record. we said ken thomson had left his role as chairman of the institute of chartered accountants of scotland (icas). in fact he had been chairman of the icas regulation board, rather than the institute itself (news, february 4). ■ february 18, 2024 we said the london based team at gq magazine had been “let go”, and that the publisher condé nast is creating a single global print edition of each of its titles (business, last week). gq still has a team in london, and condé nast says most of its print titles have distinct national editions and will continue to do so. we are happy to set this on record. ■ december 24, 2023 we wrongly said that councils are legally obliged to pay for taxis to school for children with an education, health and care plan (comment, last week). while councils do pay for taxis in many cases, the existence of such a plan does not oblige them to do so. ■ december 10, 2023 we wrongly said labour frontbenchers were absent from the march against antisemitism in london (comment, last week). it was attended by the shadow science minister, peter kyle. wycombe abbey gained 97.5 per cent grades 9 7 at gcse, not 90.75 per cent as we wrongly said, and should have appeared in 17th place in our top 100 independent schools. we apologise for the error. ■ december 3, 2023 an article on inheritance tax said an extra £175,000 allowance applies if the estate includes a family home worth up to £2 million and left to a direct descendant (money, last week). in fact the allowance applies if the entire estate is worth up to £2 million and includes a family home left to a direct descendant. we said that from march 2026 all councils in england will be required to recycle the same materials and have a standard of three bins: refuse, mixed recycling and food (news, last week). in fact the standard for kerbside recycling collections is still under consultation. ■ november 12, 2023 we said there is no ministerial level involvement in how the scottish government delivers its ai strategy (alf young, business, last week). this was incorrect. innovation minister richard lochhead has led the scottish government’s ai agenda since taking office on march 29 2023. his responsibilities include acting as sponsor minister for the scottish ai alliance. ■ september 17, 2023 we said p&o ferries has stopped paying into the merchant navy ratings pension fund, and has pledged the ship pride of burgundy to the fund’s trustees as security (business, last week). the company says it continues to make interest payments to the fund, and the security pledged is the vessels pride of hull and european causeway. we are happy to make this clear. ■ september 10, 2023 an article headlined “sunak’s threat to pull uk out of the echr”, published on february 5, 2023, stated that “official estimates suggest there will be almost a 50 per cent increase in illegal migration on last year, when 45,000 claimed asylum” and that “45,000 illegal migrants” had arrived that same year. this conflated being an illegal migrant with being an asylum seeker in a misleading manner; it is not illegal to enter the uk for the purpose of claiming asylum, notwithstanding that the method of arrival may be illegal. this correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the independent press standards organisation. an underactive thyroid is hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism as we wrongly said (news, last week). lord sumption is a former supreme court justice, not a former lord chief justice (comment, last week). ■ september 3, 2023 we wrongly said in “a tour of picturesque york that you’re not meant to enjoy” (news review, last week) that repairs to york minster were being funded by the church of england’s investment in the south sea company, which traded slaves. in fact the repairs are entirely funded by the minster’s own income from ticket and retail sales, property lets, grants, donations and legacies. we are happy to make this clear. the ulez charge affects most diesel cars registered before 2015 and most petrol cars registered before 2006, not pre 2015 petrol and pre 2006 diesel as we wrongly said. ■ august 27, 2023 we said that full costs of medical treatment abroad were applicable even to those who travel with a global health insurance card or ghic (money, aug 13). in fact the card entitles the carrier to care on the same basis as local residents in participating countries, but in practice not all medical facilities accept the ghic. we are happy to make this clear. ■ august 20, 2023 whole life orders as a starting point in the sentencing of murderers of police officers came into force in 2015, not 2020 as we wrongly said (comment, last week). ■ august 13, 2023 in our digital edition, a picture caption wrongly stated that john caldwell of the police service of northern ireland was shot dead. detective chief inspector caldwell was seriously wounded in the attack but survived. the caption has been amended and we apologise for the mistake. (comment, this week) rolls royce nuclear reactors use pressurised water technology, not boiling water technology as we wrongly said (business, last week). ■ august 6, 2023 the open golf tournament is organised by the r&a, not dp world tour as we wrongly said (news, july 23). we said per capita income in the us state of mississippi has risen by 25 per cent in the last five years, and in britain real wages and living standards have not grown since 2007 (“we’re missing a trick by not being like mississippi”, news review, last week). the comparison was misleading because the mississippi figures were not adjusted for inflation, which accounted for a large proportion of the increase. we have also been asked to point out that data from the office for national statistics indicates that british living standards have risen since 2007, albeit slowly by historical standards. the same article included a graph that compared per capita gdp in mississippi and the uk: again the mississippi figures were not adjusted for inflation and therefore the graph was misleading. ■ july 15, 2023 we said the organisation 38 degrees allowed people to send pre composed emails to their mp (magazine, last week). 38 degrees has informed us it does not provide template emails for users, whose messages are their own. we are happy to make this clear. ■ july 02, 2023 we said seven protesters campaigning to save trees in sheffield were paid £24,300 by yorkshire police (news review, last week). the force that made the payment was south yorkshire police. we are happy to make this clear. ■ june 25, 2023 the song naatu naatu was introduced at the oscars by deepika padukone, not by alia bhatt as we wrongly said (style, last week). ■ may 28, 2023 we said rural transylvania is mostly hungarian speaking (news, last week). while this is true of two counties, including the one where king charles’s zalanpatak house is located, romanian speakers form a majority across the region. the restaurant chain café rouge is closing branches but is not in receivership, as we wrongly said (news review, last week). ■ may 6, 2023 we said that boris johnson asked richard sharp to help facilitate a loan (comment, last week). while adam heppinstall kc’s report on the matter said mr sharp attempted to introduce a canadian businessman to the cabinet secretary, and the businessman went on to guarantee an £800,000 loan to the prime minister, it did not find that mr sharp attempted the introduction at the prime minister’s request. we are happy to make this clear. ■ april 30, 2023 just stop oil’s avowed aim is for the government to stop licensing all new oil, gas and coal projects, not to end all hydrocarbon use in the next two years as we said. ■ april 2, 2023 we said lloyd russell moyle mp had argued that children should be taught how to do “risky sex acts safely” (comment, last week). mr russell moyle has informed us that when he said he wished his 15 year old nephew had been “taught about risky sex acts … and how to make sure he did things safely”, he meant that children should be taught to have sex safely and that there should be protections to ensure risky acts are not promoted. we are happy to make this clear. we said the gender recognition reform (scotland) bill was blocked by royal assent (culture, last week). in fact the bill was blocked by the scotland secretary before it could receive royal assent. wales and scotland did not abolish school inspections in the early 2000s as we claimed (comment, last week). we said the former mp michael dugher still has a parliamentary pass (comment, last week). in fact he gave up his pass in 2022 after his continuing parliamentary access was publicised in the press. ■ march 19, 2023 an article said those who pay higher rate tax receive 40 per cent tax relief on all pension contributions (isa special, last week). in fact only contributions from income taxed at 40 per cent receive this rate of relief. we said that gary lineker compared government immigration policy to nazi germany (news, last week). in fact he likened the language used about the policy to that used in germany in the 1930s. we are happy to make this clear. ■ march 12, 2023 further to our article on tiktok (news review, last week) the company has informed us that beijing douyin service ltd has no visibility or control over any other global business, including tiktok; that the blackout challenge pre dates tiktok and it has never found any evidence of this type of content trending on its platform; that facial, body and voice information are used for filters, effects and for safety, not to identify unique individuals; and that keystroke pattern recognition is used to identify malicious actors such as bots, without capturing the content of what is being typed. ■ march 5, 2023 we wrongly said birmingham city council was a client of subrosa, a private security company hired to catch fly tippers (news, last week). ■ february 26, 2023 we said that 58 academics wrote an open letter demanding nigel biggar’s ethics and empire programme be shut down (books, culture, feb 5). in fact that demand came from one of the signatories in a separate tweet. the academics’ letter as published said that the ideas and aims of the programme were not those of most scholars. we are happy to put the correct position on record. we said that philip hammond wrote an article for the chinese communist party newspaper china daily (comment, last week). mr hammond has informed us that the article was an edited transcript of a speech that was published without his permission, and china daily has now removed it from its website and apologised. we are happy to set the record straight. ■ february 12, 2023 an article on the manchester united footballer mason greenwood wrongly quoted erik ten hag, the club’s manager, saying, “let’s wait for the judgment. if he’s proven innocent, he would get a place in my team” (sport, last week). mr ten hag has informed us he never used those words. we are happy to set the record straight. we said the government of david lloyd george outlawed the sale of honours (comment, last week). in fact, stanley baldwin was prime minister when the legislation was passed in 1925. we said the drug liraglutide, marketed as saxenda, is prescribed for both weight loss and diabetes (news, last week). saxenda is used for weight loss only; victoza, a different dosage of liraglutide, is used for type 2 diabetes. we also said that webinars sponsored by the drug company novo nordisk did not list side effects for saxenda. in fact, side effects were noted in the presentation ■ february 5, 2023 the canadian city of vancouver sits on the fraser river, not the columbia as we wrongly said (travel, last week). ■ january 15, 2023 we said professor keith vickerman discovered surface antigens on malaria parasites (magazine, jan 1). in fact he found them on trypanosomes, protozoa involved in sleeping sickness. ■ january 8, 2023 we reported a claim that only men had been promoted during professor david crossman’s tenure as dean of st andrews university’s school of medicine (“nicola sturgeon’s chief scientist ‘presides over an old boys’ club at st andrews faculty’” news, september 26 2021 ). we have been asked to make clear that this claim applied only to professorships at the school of medicine, and we are happy to do so. ■ january 1, 2023 we said the broadcaster samira ahmed won apologies from the bbc over gender pay inequality at the corporation (culture, dec 4). we acknowledge that while the bbc did apologise to carrie gracie and for gender pay inequality in general, it did not apologise to ahmed. we are happy to set this on record and have amended the original article. corrections and clarifications 2022 corrections and clarifications 2021 corrections and clarifications 2020 corrections and clarifications 2019 © times media limited 2025. registered in england no. 894646. registered office: 1 london bridge street, se1 9gf.

saturday 77,035 the oregonian is a daily newspaper based in portland, oregon, united states, owned by advance publications. it is the oldest continuously published newspaper on the u.s. west coast,[7] founded as a weekly by thomas j. dryer on december 4, 1850, and published daily since 1861. it is the largest newspaper in oregon and the second largest in the pacific northwest by circulation. it is one of the few newspapers with a statewide focus in the united states.[7][8] the sunday edition is published under the title the sunday oregonian. the regular edition was published under the title the morning oregonian from 1861 until 1937.[9] the oregonian received the 2001 pulitzer prize for public service, the only gold medal annually awarded by the organization.[10] the paper's staff or individual writers have received seven other pulitzer prizes, most recently the award for editorial writing in 2014.[11] in late 2013, home delivery has been reduced to wednesday, friday, saturday, and sunday while retaining print copies daily through news stands/newsracks. in january 2024, monday, tuesday and thursday print edition were discontinued. .mw parser output .toclimit 2 .toclevel 1

newspaper an institution which was seen as a prerequisite for urban growth.[13] chief among these pioneer community organizers seeking establishment of a portland press were col. w.w. chapman and prominent local businessman henry w. corbett.[13] in the fall of 1850, chapman and corbett traveled to san francisco, at the time far and away the largest city on the west coast of the united states, in search of an editor interested in and capable of producing a weekly newspaper in portland.[13] there the pair met thomas j. dryer, a transplanted new yorker who was an energetic writer with both printing equipment and previous experience in the production of a small circulation community newspaper in his native ulster county, new york.[13] dryer's press was transported to portland and it was there on december 4, 1850, that the first issue of the weekly oregonian found its readers.[14] each weekly issue consisted of four pages, printed six columns wide.[14] little attention was paid to current news events, with the bulk of the paper's content devoted to political themes and biographical commentary.[14] the paper took a staunch political line supportive of the whig party an orientation which soon brought it into conflict with the statesman, a democratic paper launched at oregon city not long after the weekly oregonian's debut.[14] a loud and bitter rivalry between the competing news organs ensued.[14] henry pittock became the owner in 1861 as compensation for unpaid wages, and he began publishing the paper daily, except sundays.[15] pittock's goal was to focus more on news than the bully pulpit established by dryer.[16] he ordered a new press in december 1860 and also arranged for the news to be sent by telegraph to redding, california, then by stagecoach to jacksonville, oregon, and then by pony express to portland.[16] from 1866 to 1872 harvey w. scott was the editor.[17] henry w. corbett bought the paper from a cash poor pittock in october 1872 and placed william lair hill as editor.[16] scott, fired by corbett for supporting ben holladay's candidates, became editor of holladay's rival portland daily bulletin.[16] the paper went out of print in 1876, holladay having lost $200,000 in the process.[16] corbett sold the oregonian back to pittock in 1877, marking a return of scott to the paper's editorial helm.[16] a part owner of the paper, scott would remain as editor in chief until shortly before his death in 1910.[18] one of the journalists who began his career on the oregonian during this time period was james j. montague who took over and wrote the column "slings & arrows" until he was hired away by william randolph hearst in 1902.[19] in this time period governor sylvester pennoyer prominently criticized the oregonian for calling for vigilante "justice" against chinese americans (pennoyer favored running people of chinese descent out of the state by "legal" means).[20] the west shore criticized the oregonian for its sensationalized coverage of the english monarchy.[21] in 1881, the first sunday oregonian was published.[22] the paper became known as the voice of business oriented republicans, as evidenced by consistent endorsement of republican candidates for president in every federal election before 1992. the paper's offices and presses were originally housed in a two story building at the intersection of first street (now first avenue) and morrison street, but in 1892 the paper moved into a new nine story building at 6th and alder streets.[22] the new building was, the same as its predecessor (and successor), called the oregonian building. it included a clock tower at one corner, and the building's overall height of 194[23] to 196[24] feet (around 59 m) made it the tallest structure in portland, a distinction it retained until the completion of the yeon building in 1911.[24] it contained about 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2) of floor space, including the basement but not the tower.[23] the newspaper did not move again until 1948. the 1892 building was demolished in 1950.[25] following the death of harvey scott in 1910, the paper's editor in chief was edgar b. piper, who had previously been managing editor.[26] piper remained editor until his death in 1928. the oregonian's first female journalist, louise bryant, joined the paper around 1909.[27] in 1922, the oregonian discontinued its weekly edition,[28] and launched kgw, oregon's first commercial radio station. five years later, kgw affiliated with nbc (1927). the newspaper purchased a second station, kex, in 1933,[29] from nbc subsidiary northwest broadcasting co. in 1944, kex was sold to westinghouse radio stations, inc. the oregonian launched kgw fm, the northwest's first fm station,[30] in 1946 (acclaimed by "the oregonian" may 8, 1946), known today as kkrz. kgw and kgw fm were sold to king broadcasting co in 1953. in 1937, the morning oregonian shortened its name to the oregonian. two years later, associate editor ronald g. callvert received a pulitzer prize for editorial reporting for "distinguished editorial writing...as exemplified by the editorial entitled "my country 'tis of thee".[31] a 20 year trust under which the oregonian was conducted expired in 1939. o. l. price, who managed the newspaper under the trust, retired at age 61 upon its expiration. ownership reverted to the heirs of pittock and h. w. scott.[32] in 1948, the paper moved to a new location within downtown, where its headquarters ultimately would remain for the next 66 years, on sw broadway between jefferson street and columbia street. the new building was designed by pietro belluschi and again was named the oregonian building.[22] the block was previously home to the william s. ladd mansion, which had been demolished around 1925.[16] circa 1946, the oregonian purchased the block for $100,000, which led to complaints from paper editor leslie m. scott because of the outrageous price.[16] three years later, scott purchased a nearby block for the state at $300,000 while holding the office of oregon state treasurer.[16] the new oregonian building was to contain the kgw radio station and a television studio, as well as a large and opulent dining room.[16] the contractor was l. h. hoffman, who was under a very profitable cost plus contract.[16] aside from the "extravagance of design", construction materials were in short supply, the nation was under heavy inflation, and belluschi's plans were never ready, leading to massive costs.[16] the oregonian had to borrow from banks, the first time in over 50 years.[16] new company president e. b. macnaughton was forced to exhaust the company's loan limits at first national bank, then turn to the bank of america.[16] macnaughton then eliminated an extra elevator, the dining room, and kgw's radio and television studios.[16] the building still cost $4 million, twice the original estimate.[16] the building opened in 1948, but the oregonian had to sell it to connecticut mutual life insurance company for $3.6 million in a leaseback arrangement.[16] further financial issues led to the 1950 sale to samuel newhouse.[16] in 1950, advance publications founder s. i. "si" newhouse purchased the paper.[33] at that time, the sale price of $5.6 million was the largest for a single newspaper.[34] the sale was announced on december 11, 1950.[16] in 1954, newhouse bought 50% of mount hood radio & television broadcasting corp, which broadcasts koin tv, portland's first vhf television station, koin am (now kufo), and koin fm (now kxl fm). the oregonian's circulation in 1950 was 214,916; that of the rival oregon journal was 190,844.[35] in 1957, staff writers william lambert and wallace turner were awarded that year's pulitzer prize for pulitzer prize for local reporting   no edition time.[36] their prize cited "their expose of vice and corruption in portland involving some municipal officials and officers of the international brotherhood of teamsters, chauffeurs, warehousemen and helpers of america, western conference" and noted that "they fulfilled their assignments despite great handicaps and the risk of reprisal from lawless elements."[36] what was to become a long and heated strike began against both the oregonian and the oregon journal began in november 1959.[37] the strike was called by stereotypers local 49 over various contract issues, particularly the introduction of more automated plate casting machinery;[38] the new to american publishing german made equipment required one operator instead of the four that operated the existing equipment.[37] wallace turner and many other writers and photographers refused to cross the picket lines and never returned.[39] the two newspapers published a "joint, typo marred paper" for six months until they had hired enough nonunion help to resume separate operations.[38] starting in february 1960, striking union workers published a daily newspaper, the (portland) reporter;[7] its circulation peaked at 78,000, but was shut down in october 1964.[40] in 1961, newhouse bought the oregon journal, portland's afternoon daily newspaper.[41] production and business operations of the two newspapers were consolidated in the oregonian's building, while their editorial staffs remained separate.[42] the national labor relations board ruled the strike illegal in november 1963.[7] strikers continued to picket until april 4, 1965,[39] at which point the two newspapers became open shops. in 1967, fred stickel came to the oregonian from new jersey to become general manager of the paper; he became president in 1972 and publisher in 1975.[43] as part of a larger corporate plan to exit broadcasting, the oregonian sold koin tv to newspaper owner lee enterprises in 1977.[44] at the same time, koin am and  fm were sold to gaylord broadcasting co. since s. i. newhouse died in 1979, s.i. jr. has managed the magazines, and donald oversees the newspapers. the oregonian lost its primary "competitor" and portland became a one daily newspaper city in 1982, when advance/newhouse shut down the journal, citing declining advertising revenues.[45] the oregonian published a twenty part series on the rajneeshpuram, a religious community that established itself in antelope, oregon.[46] william a. hilliard was named editor in 1987, and was the paper's first african american editor.[47] a resident of oregon since the age of 8, hilliard had already worked at the oregonian for 35 years; he had been city editor starting in 1971 and executive editor since 1982.[48] the oregonian established an asia bureau in tokyo, japan in 1989.[49] also in 1989, the oregonian endorsed a democratic candidate for president for the first time in its history when it supported bill clinton in 1992.[50] the year 1993 was an eventful year for the oregonian. robert m. landauer, then editorial page editor, was a finalist for the pulitzer prize in editorial writing for "a bold campaign to defuse myths and prejudice promoted by an anti homosexual constitutional amendment, which was subsequently defeated", according to the pulitzer judges. the integrity of the oregonian became the subject of national coverage when the washington post broke the story of inappropriate sexual advances which led to the resignation of oregon senator bob packwood four years later. this prompted some to joke, "if it matters to oregonians, it's in the washington post" (a twist on the oregonian's slogan "if it matters to oregonians, it's in the oregonian).[51] finally, newhouse appointed a new editor for the paper, sandra rowe, who relocated from the virginian pilot.[52] business has everything power, influence, sex, drama and our job is to pull back the curtain: that bank merger last week? who got screwed? who came out on top? this is what really happened. business news should be handled as finely crafted drama; it's got substance and great meaning. business should be the backbone of the newspaper. sandra rowe joined the paper as executive editor in june 1993.[54] she formally became editor in 1994 with the retirement of william hilliard, but hilliard had effectively already given her control of the editor's reins in 1993 as he focused his attention on his duties as the newly elected president of the american society of newspaper editors for 1993 94, in his final year before retirement.[48] according to editor & publisher, soon after rowe's arrival, she introduced organizational changes to the newsroom. instead of having a large number of general assignment reporters, she organized them around teams, many of which often develop "subject expertise" that "reflect[s] the interests of readers, not traditional newsroom boundaries."[5] examples (over the years) include "northwest issues and environment", "living in the '90s"/"how we live", "politics and accountability", "health, science, and medicine", "sustainability and growth", and "higher education".[5][55] accompanying the reorganization was a more bottom up approach to identifying stories: "instead of having an assignment driven newspaper, you have the beat reporters coming to editors with what is going on", with the team editors responsible for deciding what stories were covered by their teams.[5] the position of public editor was established at the oregonian in 1993, and robert caldwell was appointed.[56] michele mclellan assumed the role three years later, and was delegated the authority to decide whether or not a newspaper error should result in the publication of a correction.[57] staff writer richard read won the 1999 pulitzer prize for explanatory reporting, for a series, "the french fry connection".[58] the articles illustrated the impact of the 1997 asian financial crisis by following a case of french fries from a washington state farm to a mcdonald's in singapore, ending in indonesia during riots that led to the fall of suharto. the newsroom celebrated the oregonian's first pulitzer in 42 years with champagne, mcdonald's french fries and a brass band. the series also received the overseas press club award for best business reporting from abroad, the scripps howard foundation award for business reporting and the blethen award for enterprise reporting.[59][60] co worker tom hallman jr. was a finalist for the 1999 pulitzer prize in feature writing, for his "unique profile of a man struggling to recover from a brain injury". reporter mark o'keefe won an overseas press club award for human rights reporting. the editors of columbia journalism review recognized the oregonian as number twelve on its list of "america's best newspapers", and the best newspaper owned by the newhouse family. in 2000, the oregonian was a finalist for the pulitzer prize for breaking news reporting for its coverage of an environmental disaster created when the new carissa, a freighter that carried nearly 400,000 gallons of heavy fuel, ran aground february 4, 1999, north of coos bay, oregon. the articles detailed "how fumbling efforts of official agencies failed to contain the far reaching damage", according to the pulitzer jury. that same year reporters brent walth[61] and alex pulaski[62] were finalists for the pulitzer prize in explanatory writing for their series on political influences in pesticide regulation. the oregonian and news staff were acknowledged with two pulitzer prizes in 2001. the paper was awarded the pulitzer prize for public service,[63] for its "detailed and unflinching examination of systematic problems within the u.s. immigration and naturalization service, including harsh treatment of foreign nationals and other widespread abuses, which prompted various reforms." the series was reported and written by kim christensen,[64] richard read, julie sullivan springhetti[65] and brent walth,[61] with editorials by the editorial board. staff writer tom hallman jr. received the 2001 pulitzer prize for feature writing[66] for his series, "the boy behind the mask", on a teen with a facial deformity. in 2003, music critic david stabler was a finalist for the pulitzer prize in feature writing for "his sensitive, sometimes surprising chronicle of a teenage prodigy's struggle with a musical talent that proved to be both a gift and a problem". michael arrieta walden became public editor in 2003; when he ended his three year term in the position, no successor was named.[67] in 2004 the paper faced criticism after a headline characterized a 1970s sexual relationship between then mayor neil goldschmidt and a 14 year old girl as an "affair", rather than statutory rape.[68][69][70] the paper endorsed a democrat for president for the second time in its 150 year history when it backed john kerry for president in 2004.[50] in 2005, staff reporters steve suo and erin hoover barnett were finalists for the pulitzer prize for national reporting for "their groundbreaking reports on the failure to curtail the growing illicit use of methamphetamines". that same year, americans united for palestinian human rights published two reports on the oregonian, claiming the paper under reported palestinian deaths in its news stories of the israeli/palestinian conflict and excluded the palestinian narrative in its opinion pages.[71][72] editorial writers doug bates and rick attig were awarded the 2006 pulitzer prize for editorial writing for their editorials on the conditions at the oregon state hospital.[73] as of late 2006 and early 2007, the paper's circulation averaged 319,625 for the daily edition and 375,913 for the sunday edition, giving the oregonian the 22nd largest circulation among all major newspapers in the u.s.[74] in 2007, the oregonian and its journalists were recognized with several awards. sports columnist john canzano was selected as the nation's no. 2 sports columnist in the annual associated press sports editors awards. three oregonian reporters jeff kosseff, bryan denson, and les zaitz were awarded the george polk award for national reporting, for their series about the failure of a decades old, multibillion dollar, federal program established by the javits wagner o'day act intended to help people with severe disabilities find employment. instead it "awarded executives handsomely but left disabled workers in segregated jobs often paying less than minimum wage."[75][76] on april 16, 2007, it was announced that the staff of the oregonian was awarded a pulitzer prize for breaking news reporting for their "skillful and tenacious coverage of a family missing in the oregon mountains, telling the tragic story both in print and online."[77] in addition, the paper's reporters were finalists in two other categories. les zaitz, jeff kosseff and bryan denson were finalists for the pulitzer for national reporting for the same series that also won the george polk award noted above. inara verzemnieks was nominated for the pulitzer for feature writing for "her witty and perceptive portfolio of features on an array of everyday topics", according to the pulitzer judges. in february 2008, editor & publisher named editor sandra mims rowe and executive editor peter bhatia as "editors of the year". the trade journal noted that since rowe and bhatia arrived in 1993, the paper and its journalists had won five pulitzer prizes and had been finalists a further nine times.[5] e&p also cited "an increased focus on specialized reporting; a reorganized newsroom that promotes "team reporting" concepts over traditional beats; and regular training sessions and seminars that most staffers credit for encouraging fresh ideas and competitive approaches."[5] pulitzer board member richard oppel, the editor of the austin american statesman, called the paper "one of the finest newspapers in the country, easily in the top 10."[5] on september 28, 2008, the paper distributed a dvd of obsession: radical islam's war against the west as an advertising supplement for that day's edition,[78] two weeks after the new york times, the charlotte observer and the miami herald had done the same thing.[79] the oregonian did so despite portland mayor tom potter's personal request that publisher fred stickel not distribute it because the "tenor of the video contributes towards a climate of distrust towards muslims", and because the paper's willingness to distribute the dvd bestows upon it "an impression of objectivity and legitimacy it does not deserve."[78] stickel cited "freedom of speech", and an "obligation to keep our advertising columns as open as possible" as reasons for not rejecting the dvd.[78] newsroom staff in 2008 was about the same size as it was in 1993, though there were fifty fewer full time staff members than there were in 2002; about half of those positions were eliminated after a buyout in late 2007.[5] the paper's outside news bureaus grew from four to six during her tenure.[5] in 2009, the oregonian was scooped for a third time on a story of an oregon politician's sex scandal, this time involving mayor sam adams about what newsweek called his "public deception and private bad judgment" about his past relationship with a teenage legislative intern.[80] nigel jaquiss of willamette week broke the story after 18 months of investigations; jaquiss's reporting on another sex scandal involving neil goldschmidt earned jaquiss a 2005 pulitzer prize. jaquiss thinks the oregonian's failure to follow up on leads that both he and oregonian reporters had received was a case of "one newspaper towns being a little too cozy with local power brokers."[80] a media ethics teacher and consultant for the poynter institute for media studies suggests that the pattern of failure to cover such stories "may have more to do with the culture at the oregonian, which has recently "built its reputation on thoughtful, narrative coverage ...[that] doesn't lend itself well to digging up sex scandals."[80] in august 2009, the paper's owners announced the end of a policy that protected full time employees from layoffs for economic or technological reasons;[43] the change took effect the following february.[81] in september 2009, publisher fred stickel announced his retirement, effective september 18, ending 34 years in the position; his son patrick, president of the paper, was appointed interim publisher but was not a candidate to succeed his father,[43] and patrick stickel retired on december 30, 2009.[82] n. christian anderson iii was named as the new publisher in october,[83] and began work in the position at the beginning of november 2009.[84] after more than 16 years as editor, sandra rowe retired at the end of 2009.[85][86] peter bhatia, then executive editor, succeeded her as editor.[85] in 2013, publisher n. christian anderson announced the paper was restructuring and that beginning october 1, the oregonian publishing company would be dissolved.[1] two new companies would be formed: the oregonian media group, which will focus on providing content on its online news site, oregonlive.com though it would continue to publish a daily print edition of the paper; and advance central services oregon, which would provide production, packaging, and distribution support for the new company. ownership remained with advance publications. though printed seven days a week, home delivery has been reduced to wednesday, friday, saturday, and sunday.[1][89] these changes were put into effect, as scheduled, on october 1.[90] the paper also announced that "significant" layoffs were expected.[1] in addition, anderson announced that the new company would likely move from its downtown portland building.[91] on april 2, 2014, the paper switched from broadsheet format to the smaller tabloid format.[92] on april 14, 2014, it was announced that the paper's editorial staff consisting of mark hester, erik lukens, susan nielsen, and len reed[93] had won the 2014 pulitzer prize for editorial writing, for their coverage of the state of oregon's public employee retirement system. reporter les zaitz was named as a finalist for explanatory reporting for his work on mexican drug cartels.[11] editor peter bhatia left the paper in may 2014 to take a teaching position at arizona state university. in july 2014, it was announced that mark katches had been hired as the paper's editor, and would also be the oregonian media group's vice president of content.[94] also in july 2014, the newspaper moved its headquarters from the building at 1320 sw broadway that it had occupied since 1948 to a smaller space elsewhere in downtown portland.[95] the new headquarters takes up around 40,000 sq ft (3,700 m2) of space in the crown plaza office building, at 1500 sw first avenue.[6] n. christian anderson left the oregonian media group in may 2015, to become editor and publisher of the register guard, in eugene, oregon.[96] anderson became publisher of the oregonian in 2009, subsequently being named president of the oregonian media group when that new company replaced the oregonian publishing company in october 2013, with the title of publisher thereafter no longer being used, and in turn was appointed to the new position of chairman of the group in september 2014.[96] steve moss succeeded anderson as oregonian media group president,[97] and the chairman position was to go unfilled.[96] in june 2015, advance signed a contract with signature graphics to take over printing and distribution of the paper from advance central services oregon, and announced that it was considering selling its longtime printing plant located near providence park.[98][99] layoffs of printing press workers were due to be implemented in august.[99] in february 2017, the oregonian publishing company sold the 41,000 square foot (3,800 m2) building for $20 million (~$24.5 million in 2023) to a development partnership which said it planned to tear it down and build a 23 story apartment building on the site,[100] now known as the press blocks.[101] demolition of the former printing complex began in fall 2018.[102][103] moss announced in july 2016 that he would depart at the end of august.[104] in the article about moss's impending departure, it was disclosed that the newspaper's sunday circulation was at that time approximately 170,000.[104] on october 24, 2016, the paper's editorial board announced that it would once again decline to endorse a candidate for president of the united states, a practice it first abandoned in 2012. this decision was criticized by some readers, who wondered why the board would offer endorsements in state elections without also taking a position on the presidential race. the board justified its decision by citing the paper's general focus on local issues, writing "our goal as an editorial board is to have an impact in our community. and we don't think an endorsement for president would move the needle. so that's why we focus our endorsement energy where voters may not have made up their minds and need help with the decision."[105] editor mark katches left the company in august 2018, to become editor of the tampa bay times, owned by the non profit poynter institute for media studies. therese bottomly, who had worked the oregonian since 1983, was named editor and vice president of content in september 2018.[4][106] on january 2, 2020, the oregonian eliminated the comments section of oregonlive.com. the paper said it was following the trend of other papers in the past decade and said most readers don't utilize the comments feature. the paper also said uncivil comments were taking up too many resources to moderate.[107] in august 2023, the oregonian announced that the printed version of the paper will be offered only on wednesdays, fridays, saturdays and sundays, effective january 1, 2024. it will continue publishing daily news online.[110][89] in late october 2024, the paper announced it will switch its print edition page format from a tabloid style to broadsheet. the change will go into effect in mid january 2025.[111] the staff of the oregonian also produces three "targeted publications" glossy magazines distributed free of charge to 40,000 45,000 wealthy residents of the portland metropolitan area, and sold on newsstands to 5,000 others. a fourth glossy magazine, explore the pearl, is produced in conjunction with the pearl district business association, and mailed to "high income portland metro households" within lake oswego, west linn, mountain park, lakeridge, forest heights, raleigh hills, oak hills, west hills, dunthorpe, and clark county.[112] oregonlive.com is a website covering local news in oregon and southwest washington.[119] the website serves as the online home of the oregonian.[5] started in 1997, it is owned by advance publications, which also owns the oregonian.[120] betsy richter was the original editor of the website, and served through 1998 when kevin cosgrove took over as editor in chief.[120] oregonian media group also publishes the website here is oregon.[121] in addition to content from the affiliated newspapers, oregonlive also uses content from the associated press.[120]

many more do. rain battered gwadar for almost 30 consecutive hours last february, washing out roads, bridges and lines of communication to briefly cut the peninsula town off from the rest of pakistan. homes look like bombs have struck them and drivers swerve to avoid craters where asphalt used to be. gwadar is in balochistan, a vast province in pakistan’s southwest that has searing summers and harsh winters. the city, with about 90,000 people, is built on sand dunes and bordered by the arabian sea on three sides, at a low elevation that makes it vulnerable to climate change in a country that has already seen its share of catastrophe. the european climate service copernicus says the world warmed to yet another monthly heat record in january, despite an abnormally chilly united states, a cooling la nina and predictions of a slightly less hot year. the surprising january 2025 heat record coincides with a new study by a climate science heavyweight, former top nasa scientist james hansen, and others arguing that global warming is accelerating. that's a claim that is dividing the research community. january 2025 globally was warmer than january 2024. and it was 1.75 degrees celsius, or 3.15 degrees fahrenheit, warmer than it was before industrial times. a federal judge is considering next steps in a slow moving court case that could spell legal trouble for prince harry. the case before u.s. district judge carl nichols centers on the circumstances under which harry entered the united states when he moved to california in 2020. a lawsuit brought by conservative think tank the heritage foundation seeks to reveal whether harry either lied about previous drug use on his immigration paperwork or received some sort of special waiver or diplomatic visa to enter the country. harry revealed in his 2023 memoir that he had previously used drugs. wednesday’s hearing focused largely on how to handle a trio of sworn statements from dhs officials on why the agency was fighting heritage's records request. security researchers say the website of the chinese artificial intelligence company deepseek has computer code that could send some user login information to a chinese state owned telecommunications company that's been barred from operating in the united states. deepseek's chatbot became the most downloaded app in the united states. the chatbot's web login page contains heavily obfuscated computer script that when deciphered shows connections to computer infrastructure owned by china mobile, a state owned telecommunications company. the code appears to be part of the account creation and user login process for deepseek. deepseek and china mobile haven't responded to emails seeking comment. an arkansas organist is marking the 275th anniversary of johann sebastian bach's death by playing all of the german composer's organ works, but he's doing it one lunch break at a time. colin macknight is spending this year playing nearly 18 hours of bach's organ works in 30 minute increments during free weekly concerts at trinity episcopal cathedral near downtown little rock. the performances are among countless other events around the world this year to commemorate bach's legacy. macknight has been playing bach since he was a teen. his concerts are drawing dozens of people each week, including newcomers who want a peaceful break. the waffle house restaurant chain is putting a 50 cent per egg surcharge in place temporarily because of the biggest bird flu outbreak in a decade. the restaurant, typically a reliable spot for a cheap breakfast, said that the resulting egg shortage has led to a dramatic increase in its costs. bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing u.s. egg prices to more than double their cost in the summer of 2023. the chain's two egg breakfast, which comes with toast and a side, was listed at $7.75 on tuesday. the remains of all 67 victims of the midair collision near reagan national airport have been recovered. officials say the chief medical examiner is still trying to positively identify one set of remains. tuesday's update comes as crews continue to remove debris from the potomac river, where a passenger jet and army helicopter collided wednesday. the ntsb says it is examining new data that could put the helicopter above its 200 foot flight ceiling. investigators say they need to get more information from the still submerged black hawk to verify the data. sign up now to get our free breaking news coverage delivered right to your inbox. first amendment: congress
