Foxes Academy Win Womens County Cup Final

Leicester City started off well, with full-back Libby Wooffindin trying her luck twice from outside the box but, on both occasions, it was caught comfortably by Holly Mayfield in the Anstey goal.

A Christian minister who dreamt that Jesus was speaking to him in sign language is one of many religious leaders helping deaf people connect with their faith.

In the UK, there are 40,000 religious buildings, including churches, mosques and synagogues – many which have been adapted to help worshippers with disabilities – but there can still be a disconnect between d/Deaf people and their faith.

Rev Mark Smith, 67, a retired priest from Liverpool, spent over 20 years in the Christian ministry, w

World mourns 35 years since the Hillsborough Disaster

Today marks the 35th anniversary of one of football’s greatest tragedies – the Hillsborough Disaster – when 97 people were unlawfully killed attending an FA Cup semi-final tie between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

The tragedy unfolded primarily due to overcrowding in the Leppings Lane stand, which led to a crush of fans in one of the standing terraces.

The situation was exacerbated by inadequate crowd control measures, poor stadium design, and the failure of police to properly manage the in

How the humanitarian disaster in Gaza will affect Palestinians during Ramadan

The sacred month of Ramadan is the most significant period in the Muslim calendar, but for those living in Palestine the observation is heavily overshadowed by the ongoing conflict with Israel.

While attention has turned to the Blades’ clash against mid-table Brentford at Bramall Lane this weekend, Wilder said: “The reception and performance they gav
