A federal appeals court said the president overstepped his authority when he imposed sweeping import duties

Donald Trump suffered the biggest defeat yet to his tariff policies on Friday, as a federal appeals court ruled he had overstepped his presidential powers when he enacted punitive financial measures against almost every country in the world.

In a 7-4 ruling, the Washington DC court said that while US law “bestows significant authority on the president to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency”, none of those actions allow for the imposition of tariffs or taxes.

Perhaps the biggest insult for Fulham was that the first half was still going on when Chelsea finally broke through. They were into the ninth minute of added time when Enzo Fernández delivered a corner, João Pedro leapt to score and Marco Silva was forced to accept that the footballing Gods were not on his side, but this is where the game is these days. It is pedantic, stop-start and too vulnerable to being warped by technology’s blurred lines.

It is tiresome to have to talk about refereeing decisions – far better to focus on João Pedro’s blistering form since swapping Brighton for Chelsea, for instance – but sometimes there is no other choice. This is the era of VAR and fortune did not favour Fulham as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge. They dominated much of the opening period and had done enough to lead this west London derby, only for the red mist to descend when Josh King’s first goal for his boyhood club was followed by one of those long, tortured looks at the pitchside monitor and a ruling from Rob Jones that left Silva utterly incandescent on the touchline.

As fertility rate hits all-time low in England and Wales, is there cause for concern for the economy and services?

“We happen to be alive at this really transitional moment,” said Prof Jane Falkingham, the director of the Centre for Population Change at the University of Southampton. “We’re moving from a world with high fertility and high mortality to a world of low mortality and low fertility. We have to get our heads around how we’re going to make that transition from the old world to the new world.”

Earlier this week, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed the fertility rate for England and Wales had fallen for the third year in a row to reach a record low of 1.41. The rate represents the average number of live children women can expect to have in their child-bearing life.

What likely started as a routine refresh spiraled into a political storm that went all the way to the US president

It was supposed to be a simple rebrand – or so Cracker Barrel thought.

Earlier this month, the 56-year-old southern restaurant chain known for its country-store charm and nostalgic Americana aesthetic unveiled a new look: a minimalist logo, more modern interiors and a handful of new menu items.
