What is the war over Clearing Corporations all about?

The European Union (EU) market regulator, European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA), wants Indian regulators to sign an agreement that will give it the power to monitor, supervise or audit Indian clearing corporations. Indian financial market regulators including the RBI, SEBI, and IFSC, which regulate GIFT City trades, don’t want to give such powers to the ESMA.

How European Fans in Training (EuroFIT), a lifestyle change program for men delivered in football clubs, achieved its effect: a mixed methods process evaluation embedded in a randomised controlled trial – BMC Public Health

We present results in relation to the research objectives, organised around the two research questions: 1) how was implementation achieved in football clubs and countries, and what was delivered? 2) what were the processes through which the EuroFIT program affected outcomes? In each section, we also report on whether aspects of the theory of change were supported and any differences between countries which might be indicative of country-specific contexts to affect outcomes and the final column of Table 1 shows results of data triangulation in relation to...

Brussels should join the dots between Qatargate and Manchester United

David Goldblatt is a British sports writer and author of “The Ball is Round: A Global History of Football” and “The Age of Football.” Nicholas McGeehan is co-director of FairSquare Projects. The idea that politics should be kept out of sports is, on its face, appealing. Sports are our break from the daily grind, an escapism that helps us tune out bad news. And should we not keep this as far away from meddling politicians as possible? But sports have never been apolitical — that fallacy was exposed long ago, when Roman emperors fed unrepentant Christians to underfed lions. And...
