  What You Wear Can Help You Get a Job — Here’s How There is a moment in almost every job interview when the employer begins forming an opinion about you before you have finished answering your first question. It may happen when you walk through the door. It may happen when you appear on a video call. And it may happen before you say a single word. Your qualifications are supposed to be the main reason you get hired. Your experience, skills and ability to do the job should matter most. Yet human beings do not make decisions based on qualifications alone. The way you dress, groom yourself, stand, speak and carry yourself can influence how other people perceive you. That makes your wardrobe more than a collection of clothes. For a job seeker, what you wear can become part of your argument for why you belong in the room. A recent BBC report explored how candidates are increasingly paying attention to clothing, grooming and non-verbal communication as they compete for jobs...

  Why Women Are Better Investors Than Men What if one of the biggest advantages in investing is not knowing more about the stock market, but knowing when not to act? For years, investing has carried a familiar image: the confident man studying charts, following market movements and making rapid-fire decisions. Women, meanwhile, have often been portrayed as more cautious or less confident with money. But the evidence tells a rather different story. A growing body of research suggests that when women do invest, they can outperform men not necessarily because they possess superior financial knowledge, but because they often display behaviours that are remarkably well suited to long-term investing. They tend to trade less frequently, take fewer unnecessary risks, research their decisions and remain invested during periods of market turbulence. That does not mean every woman is a better investor than every man. Investment performance is influenced by education, income, wealt...

  China’s Jaecoo Shock: How a £30,000 SUV Is Turning Britain’s Car Market Upside Down A Chinese SUV brand that many British motorists had barely heard of a few years ago is now sitting above some of the biggest names in the global car industry. The Jaecoo 7 registered 2,709 new vehicles in Britain in July 2026 , making it the country's fourth-best-selling car for the month . Its smaller sibling, the Jaecoo 5, added another 2,481 registrations , placing fifth. Together, the two models accounted for more than 5,000 new registrations in a single month. That is more than a sales success. It is a warning. For decades, Britain's car market has been dominated by familiar badges such as Ford, Nissan, Volkswagen, BMW, Vauxhall and Land Rover. But Jaecoo's extraordinary rise suggests that something fundamental is changing. British motorists are increasingly asking a brutally simple question: What am I getting for my money? And that is precisely where China's rapidly ex...

Why Has Africa Never Had a FIFA President? An investigative documentary into the history, politics and power structures that have kept the world's biggest football continent from occupying football's most powerful office. Imagine a continent producing some of the world's greatest footballers, filling stadiums with millions of passionate supporters and supplying an enormous share of the game's global talent yet never producing a permanent president of FIFA. It is one of football's most striking contradictions. Since FIFA was founded in Paris in 1904, every permanent president has come from outside Africa. The organisation began with seven European members : Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. South Africa did not join until 1910, while Egypt became the longest-serving African member after joining in 1923. More than a century later, Africa has 54 FIFA member associations . Yet the continent has never had one of its own ...

  P-Square: The Family War That Broke Africa’s Famous Twin Duo — From Global Stardom to a Bitter Legal Battle There was a time when the Okoye brothers appeared almost inseparable. Peter and Paul Okoye were not merely musicians; as P-Square, they were a cultural phenomenon. They were identical twins who danced together, sang together, and conquered African music together. Behind them stood their elder brother, Jude Okoye "the manager who helped turn the family act into a formidable entertainment empire". Then something broke. What once looked like an extraordinary example of family unity gradually became one of Nigeria’s most painful entertainment sagas. Arguments over management, creative control, and money eventually spilled into public view. The twins separated. They built individual careers. They reunited. Then they broke apart again. Today, what began as a family and business disagreement has moved into the courtroom. The P-Square story is no longer simpl...
