Britain has begun the search for the next boss of its central bank ahead of Carneys departure in nine months time.

As you might have noticed, I do like it when women are in senior positions. I think women should be encouraged to apply for senior positions, she told a committee of senior parliamentary lawmakers.

It will be important to take the decision as to who is the right person to be the governor of the Bank of England, but I would encourage applications from female applicants, May who started her career at the Bank said.

Speaking separately, the Banks top oversight official said the next governor should be the best person for the job regardless of gender, but also said that a female governor would be an event of historical significance.

It will be a brilliant moment for this institution when we appoint our first woman governor and it will be a brilliant moment for the institution when we appoint our first BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) governor, Bradley Fried, chairman of the BoEs Court, told the Treasury Committee.

Carney, a Canadian, became the first foreign governor in the Banks three-century history when he took up his role on 1 July, 2013. He is due to step down on 31 January next year.

Many of the people expected to be front-runners to replace him are male, including former BoE deputy governor Andrew Bailey who is now chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, a markets regulator, and current top BoE officials such as deputy governor Ben Broadbent and chief economist Andy Haldane.

The baby, who has not been named yet, is seventh in line to the throne, behind the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and Prince Harry.

Speaking after the birth, Harry said he planned to make an announcement in two days time so everyone can see the baby.

He said Meghan and the baby were doing incredibly well, adding that they were still thinking about names for the infant.

Arthur a traditional royal name that is among the middle names of the babys grandfather, the Prince of Wales, and his uncle the Duke of Cambridge is the favourite with many of the bookies, while Alexander and James are also popular.

Buckingham Palace said the baby weighed 7lbs 3oz (3.2kg), and that the duke was present for the birth.

In a statement the Palace said that the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were all delighted with the news.

Australia is headed for a bad flu season after a surge in cases in summer and autumn.

Experts predict about 4000 people will die from complications due to influenza this year as the number of infections increase again following a quiet 2018.

There have already been 40,000 laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza in 2019, almost three times the number recorded at the same time in recent years.

Experts from the Immunisation Coalition have urged people to get vaccinated now so they are protected during the winter flu peak.

What we are really concerned about is that these very large numbers dont continue on through winter, medical virologist Professor William Rawlinson said today.

He said the number of flu cases could end up being the highest since 2017, when a quarter of a million laboratory-confirmed cases were recorded.

The 2017 influenza season was the worst since the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

Last year there were 58,570 confirmed influenza cases in Australia, although the laboratory numbers do not show the full extent of the flu because most people do not get tested.

Prof Rawlinson predicted about two million people will get the flu this year, as typically occurred in a busy influenza year.

Its likely this will be the highest number since 2017 although Id be very concerned that it may be higher because we havent seen so much in 2018.

Immunisation Coalition chairman Professor Robert Booy said there has been a sustained and rising summer and autumn surge that is continuing to increase.

The best explanation is that 2018 was so quiet that we have reduced community immunity, so there are more people who are vulnerable to catching infection and therefore transmitting infection, he said.

While the latest ABS statistics showed 1200 people died due to influenza in 2017, Prof Booy said modelling showed the actual number of deaths on average each season was about 3000 to 4000.

The Immunisation Coalition expects about 4000 deaths this year.

Im not saying were getting more deaths this year than any other year, Prof Booy said.

Weve got a very busy early season but its nothing like the peak that we had in 2017.

He urged people to get vaccinated to protect themselves as well as more vulnerable people such as those with impaired immunity, chronic medical conditions, indigenous Australians, young children and the elderly.

The police in Abuja have charged Senator Ademola Adeleke with certificate forgery.He was charged this morning at an Abuja magistrates court.

Adeleke is also the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, in the election held last September.

An election tribunal validated his election in a split ruling in March. An Appeal court will shortly pronounce its verdict on who was the real winner between him and Governor Gboyega Oyetola, who contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.

The allegation of certificate forgery had dogged the senator in the run-up to the election in the state, leading to his arrest before the poll.

President Muhammadu Buhari waded into the case and ordered the police to release him.

Recently, Justice Othman Musa of the FCT High Court declared the Secondary School Certificate presented by Adeleke to INEC as fake.

A suit is pending in the high court seeking the declaration of his senatorial seat vacant.

Adeleke has appealed the judgment.

A group of indigenous Gbagi people of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),Abuja, on Tuesday disrupted traffic on the Umar Musa Yardua Way to protest against the Federal Government.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the protesters blocked the highway for about an hour causing gridlock.

Some air travellers who were rushing to catch their flights at the airport were frustrated by the development.

Although, the protesters had opened the road before NAN arrived the spot but one of the protesters, Fred Ekeng, said that the protest was to drive home their demand for recognition as indigenous people.

Ekeng said the protest was to tell government that the people should be given their proper place in the territory.

According to him, the people are saying no to ceaseless taking over of their land.

We came here to express our displeasure with the way the government and the military are ceasing our lands without compensation and treating us like second class citizens in our own land.

We are saying that henceforth, the position of the Minister of FCT should be held by an indigene instead of an outsider.

We also want the government to treat us with respect because they keep taking over our lands and pushing us into the interiors without proper compensation, he said.

American media personality, Kimberly Noel Kardashian West, has helped to secure the release of 17 prisoners in the U.S.

She has in the past 90 days helped to secure release of 19 prisoners, who were being detained for lesser crimes.

The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that a few months ago, Kardashian hinted that she was deep into her new found love for criminal justice when she helped foot the rent bills for a man who was recently released from jail.

According to reports, the reality TV star and mother of three has been spending a lot of money to help secure the release of inmates, who have been doing time.

Defense counsel to Kardashian, Brittany Barnett, in partnership with MiAngel Cody of The Decarceration Collective. has worked closely with her to make this a reality.

The lawyers had gotten all the legal documentation to get the inmates to have fresh start to life while Kardashian had been footing the bills.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Kim has been getting all the inmates free while trying to keep it away from the media.

Kardashian is reportedly paying five years rent for Mathew Charles, a man released from jail.

It is reported that Kardashian read about his plight and took it upon herself to help him secure accommodation.

Mathew Charles, who had served 20 of his 35-year sentence for a non-violent drug and weapons charges was the first to be released under new prison reform laws.

Kim is said to have reached out to Charles and his friend privately on March 10 and generously offered to pay his rent and to help him find a stable place to live.

Charles was recently released from jail after serving 25 years and would be living in a rent free house for the next five years courtesy of Kardashian.

However, it is no news that Kardashian has a special interest in prison reforms in the U.S.

Her interest in making the reforms made her pay a visit to the President of the U.S., Donald Trump, back in 2018.

According to Tomi Hunge Handbook on Management (Pg. 27); Controlling implies measurement of accomplishment of events against the standard of plans and the correction of deviation to ensure attainment of objectives according to plans. Once a plan becomes operational, control is necessary to measure progress, to uncover deviation from plans, and to indicate corrective action. The latter may involve simple measures such as minor changes in leadership. In other cases, adequate control may result in setting new goals, formulating new plans, changing the organizational structure, improving staffing and making major changes in techniques of leading.

It is important to bear in mind that controlling involves much more than mere measurement of deviations from plans. True control implies that corrective action can and will be back on course. It is thus to a great extent, the function that closes the loop in the system of management.

What is the Basic Control Process
Control techniques and systems are essentially the same for cash, office procedures, morale, product quality, or anything else. The basic control process, wherever it is found and whatever it controls, involves three steps:-

• Establishing Standards

• Measuring performance against these standards

• Correcting deviations from standards and plans

Because plans are the yardstick against which controls must be devised, it follows logically that the first step in the control process would be to establish plans. However, since plans vary in detail and complexity and since manager cannot usually watch everything, special standards are established.

Standards are by definition simply criteria for performance. They are selected points in the entire planning programe where measures of performance are made so as to give managers signals as to how things are going without having to watch every step in the execution of plans.

The police have confirmed the release of the Chairman, board of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Dr Mohammad Mahmood Abubakar and his daughter, Yasmin.

The Police made the confirmation in a post on Twitter and also claimed the arrest of a suspect, who was in possession of an AK47 Rifle.

This is to bring to the knowledge of all Nigerians that Dr Mohammed Mahmoud Abubakar, the Chairman of UBEC and his daughter, Yesmin Mohammed who were kidnapped yesterday along Abuja-KADUNA expressway have been released.

Nigeria Police Force (@PoliceNG)

Mahmood and his daughter were kidnapped on Monday along Kaduna-Abuja expressway at about 3.30 pm..

An aide of Mahmood, Hussain Danladi, had earlier confirmed the release on Tuesday.

Danladi told some online news platform that no ransom was paid for their release.

But an audio recording published by Daily Trust suggested otherwise.

According to details of the audioa phone conversation between Abubakar and a relation identified as Saleh, N13million was raised to be paid as ransom.

Abubakar said in the conversation: Saleh, please be hurry, time is not on our side It would take some time before we decide on the collection point, and we have planned to resolve this issue within one hour.

Let them go anywhere and get the money within one hour.

But Saleh responded that they were able to raise N13 million and if the kidnappers demanded the money in Dollars, they would have given the ransom money to them.

Saleh said: We are on it and we were able to raise N13 million. The challenge we are having now is night and somebody told me if it would reach in the morning, he would give us N50 million and if they demanded the money in dollars, we would give them this night.

The UBEC Chairman then said that the kidnappers were taking good care of them even though his daughter was wounded on her leg during the operation.

He said, I understand, but if you can get it (money), then go and get it anywhere. We dont want it to pass one hour, these people are taking good care of us, Yasmin was wounded on her leg, but they are assisting her. Please go anywhere and get the money.
