Adefemi killed in car crash
XANTHI // Greek police say Nigerian football player Olubayo Adefemi has been killed in a car accident while on leave to get married. The 25-year-old defender, who played for Greek club Xanthi, died yesterday after skidding off a highway near the northern town of Kavala. No one else was hurt.
Adefemi was not selected for Nigeria's World Cup team last year, but played in the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands in 2005.
Marathon best time for Mutai
BOSTON // Geoffrey Mutai has won the Boston Marathon yesterday in 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds - the fastest anyone has ever run the 26.2 mile distance. The previous best of 2:03:59 was by Haile Gebrselassie in Berlin 2008. But because the race had a strong tailwind on a downhill course, Mutai's run does not qualify as a record. But Mutai's effort was almost three minutes better than the course record set by Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot.
One week ban for Henson
TOULON // Gavin Henson, the Wales centre, has been suspended for a week by Toulon for breaching club discipline, the French club announced yesterday. "Gavin Henson has been suspended for one week for breaching the club's code of conduct," a club statement said. Henson, who was released from his contract with Saracens last February, joined Toulon on a short-term deal but is hoping to sign a two-year contract.
UK's plans to cut net migration
Under the UK government’s proposals, migrants will have to spend 10 years in the UK before being able to apply for citizenship.
Skilled worker visas will require a university degree, and there will be tighter restrictions on recruitment for jobs with skills shortages.
But what are described as "high-contributing" individuals such as doctors and nurses could be fast-tracked through the system.
Language requirements will be increased for all immigration routes to ensure a higher level of English.
Rules will also be laid out for adult dependants, meaning they will have to demonstrate a basic understanding of the language.
The plans also call for stricter tests for colleges and universities offering places to foreign students and a reduction in the time graduates can remain in the UK after their studies from two years to 18 months.
