They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but that is not a sentiment shared by William Hogarth.

The painter was an outspoken critic of artistic piracy in the 18th century, and it has now been revealed he may have painted over his works to thwart the plagiarists who dogged his career.

X-rays and infrared scans of Hogarth’s best-known works, A Rake’s Progress, show he changed some of the eight paintings in the series after completion, when knock-off prints started appearing before he had published his own.

The annual rate of sea level rise has doubled since the 1990s and extreme weather is now the “new norm” because of climate change, according to a report by the UN’s weather agency.

The past seven years have been the hottest on record and rising greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have “propelled the planet into uncharted territory, with far-reaching repercussions for current and future generations”, according to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).

Its annual State of the Global Climate report said the cyclical cooling weather pattern known as La Niña meant this year was likely only to be the fifth to the seventh warmest on record, with the average temperature from January to September 1.09C above the 1850-1900 average.

How migration is fuelling the remarkable rise of cricket in Germany.
Mention the sport of cricket to most Europeans and their eyes glaze over with confusion.

The most English of games is little known in continental Europe.

But that could all be about to change amid the remarkable and unlikely rise of Germany's national team.

They made history recently by making it through to the final stage of qualifying for a major tournament – next year’s T20 World Cup, which is set to start in Australia next October. Heading into their final game against Italy, Germany knew that if they avoided a thrashing they were likely to progress. And even though they lost the match – by just one run – it was enough to take them through.

“It’s an absolutely amazing feeling. It’s historic for German cricket,” says Venkat Ganesan, the team’s captain.

The UK’s traffic light system for travel could be scrapped in October.
The UK’s traffic light system for international travel might be scrapped from October 1st 2021, according to an insider. It is predicted that rules will be based on a traveller’s vaccination status, rather than the risk level of the country they are returning from.

CEO of the PC Agency - a luxury travel PR firm - Paul Charles tweeted yesterday:

“The traffic light system is expected to be scrapped by 1st Oct - at last. Airlines and some of us in the sector are aware of plans to create a simpler system, where countries are either red or not.

“This would be the US model in effect, which I’ve been calling for.”
