India's First Constitution Museum Inaugurated in HaryanaA fair pay deal for care staff will help fix Britain's creaking NHS , Angela Rayner says - adding she's personally "frustrated" that the UK's care system has been allowed to "fragment". The Deputy Prime Minister told the Sunday Mirror proposals for a fair pay deal for care staff were the "jewel in the crown" of the Employment Rights Bill. She spoke to this newspaper during a visit to IKEA in Warrington - the Swedish flat-pack giant has been a trailblazer, committing to a living wage for all employees and championing workers rights. There were a staggering 130,000 vacancies in care in the UK last year - with one in four workers leaving the profession in 2023/24. Labour has proposed a ‘Fair Pay Agreement’ for care workers in the Employment Rights Bill currently passing through Parliament. It would mean a million care workers and unions would be able to come together to negotiate better industry-wide pay, terms and conditions. Ms Rayner said Labour’s plan would help to fill the vacancies - allowing people with complex needs to be cared for in their own homes at a fraction of the cost of hospital stays. "People can work in IKEA for a lot more than they do for giving personal care to people in their own homes,” she said. “That's created a crisis in our NHS because we've got an aging population with more complex care needs, and we don't have the care workers in the community." IKEA is the largest accredited Living Wage Foundation retailer - pledging to pay employees at least the "Real Living Wage" of £13.15 an hour in London and £12 an hour in the rest of the UK. The median hourly rate for adult social care workers in the UK was £11 an hour in December 2023 - just 58p above the minimum wage, which at the time was £10.42 per hour. At the time, 19% of workers were on the "wage floor" of the minimum wage - with 60% paid less than the 2024 increase of the minimum wage to £11.44. She went on: "The frustration for me is that people haven't grasped that. I don't know if that's because it's a predominantly female sector, that was considered manual work before. “But if we just have that leap, to look at where the evidence is and work with the care sector and those that want to provide the care services in the communities, we could deliver a transformation for our elder population that deserve better care - but also save the taxpayers huge sums of money." Ms Rayner said more than 3 million workers are already benefiting from changes to the commission that recommends increases to the national living wage - which will have to take the cost of living into account when setting the rate. “We're in IKEA and places like IKEA will benefit because they've been delivering a real living wage for some time,” she said. “Now people that come into their stores are going to have more money in their pocket.” Ms Rayner took a tour of the furniture megastore, speaking to shop floor staff and meeting with apprentices - before admitting she’d never tried either the chain’s famous meatballs or Daim cake. “All I’ve had is the ginger biscuits, you know, just to keep my ginger up,” she said - but after our chat, a member of staff arrived with a tray of Daim cake for her and her team to try. We spoke at the end of a challenging week for No10 - which on Wednesday was besieged by a Barbour-clad army of angry farmers, furious at Labour’s plan to close inheritance tax loopholes for the richest landowners. “The previous government gave 25 separate tax rises to people in the UK, highest tax burden on record,” she said. “You can't pull that lever [again] and the Chancellor understands that. “Yes, we've made some difficult choices around inheritance tax but protecting most farmers within that. But we've said that to do that we've been able to invest in our public services and it's the right decision to make.” As a former care worker, Ms Rayner said the proposed changes to social care pay and conditions are “very personal to me”. “Adult social care for is always talked about as if it's a burden. A cost pressure,” she said. “But I know it doesn't have to be a cost pressure because I've seen it in action when we've invested in the workforce. “The previous Labour government did that. We had minimum standards in care. all of that as fragmented now.” Some care sector employers have complained it will increase costs for local councils - but Ms Rayner insists the project is a “win-win”. “If we have this fair pay agreement that it's proposed as part of our employment rights bill, alongside the minimum wage, we can deliver complex care packages in people's own homes at a fraction of the cost of what we're paying at the moment for people to be kept in hospital when they don't need to be. “And actually the more that people are in hospital, the more time it takes for them to be rehabilitated and to get well again, especially if you're of the older population. “So it's actually better care for people and it costs the taxpayer so much less and care workers get a pay rise and a career structure. There's there's no losing in this.” She added: “It costs so much more money to keep somebody on a trolley or keep somebody in a bed when they can't get the care at home. “So if we were just to invest in that care sector, we would save huge sums of money in the NHS. and that's why the fair pay agreement under the employment rights bill, to me is the jewel in the crown of that bill. “Because that will deliver a significant amount of the outcomes that we need to deliver proper care services for people in this country” Be the first with news from Mirror Politics US ELECTION WHATSAPP: Join our US Election WhatsApp group here to be first to get all the biggest news and results as America heads to the polls.

Janux shares surge on promising JANX007 prostate cancer trialDavid Hilzenrath, Jodie Fleischer, Cox Media Group | (TNS) KFF Health News In March, newly installed Social Security chief Martin O’Malley criticized agency “injustices” that “shock our shared sense of equity and good conscience as Americans.” He promised to overhaul the Social Security Administration’s often heavy-handed efforts to claw back money that millions of recipients — including people who are living in poverty, are elderly, or have disabilities — were allegedly overpaid, as described by a KFF Health News and Cox Media Group investigation last year. “Innocent people can be badly hurt,” O’Malley said at the time. Nearly eight months since he appeared before Congress and announced a series of policy changes, and with two months left in his term, O’Malley’s effort to fix the system has made inroads but remains a work in progress. For instance, one change, moving away from withholding 100% of people’s monthly Social Security benefits to recover alleged overpayments, has been a major improvement, say advocates for beneficiaries. “It is a tremendous change,” said Kate Lang of Justice in Aging, who called it “life-changing for many people.” The number of people from whom the Social Security Administration was withholding full monthly benefits to recoup money declined sharply — from about 46,000 in January to about 7,000 in September, the agency said. Asked to clarify whether those numbers and others provided for this article covered all programs administered by the agency, the SSA press office did not respond. Another potentially significant change — relieving beneficiaries of having to prove that an overpayment was not their fault — has not been implemented. The agency said it is working on that. Meanwhile, the agency seems to be looking to Congress to take the lead on a change some observers see as crucial: limiting how far back the government can reach to recover an alleged overpayment. Barbara Hubbell of Watkins Glen, New York, called the absence of a statute of limitations “despicable.” Hubbell said her mother was held liable for $43,000 because of an SSA error going back 19 years. “In what universe is that even legal?” Hubbell said. Paying down the overpayment balance left her mother “essentially penniless,” she added. In response to questions for this article, Social Security spokesperson Mark Hinkle said legislation is “the best and fastest way” to set a time limit. Establishing a statute of limitations was not among the policy changes O’Malley announced in his March congressional testimony. In an interview at the time, he said he expected an announcement on it “within the next couple few months.” It could probably be done by regulation, without an act of Congress, he said. Speaking generally, Hinkle said the agency has “made substantial progress on overpayments,” reducing the hardship they cause, and “continues to work diligently” to update policies. The agency is underfunded, he added, is at a near 50-year low in staffing, and could do better with more employees. The SSA did not respond to requests for an interview with O’Malley. O’Malley announced the policy changes after KFF Health News and Cox Media Group jointly published and broadcast investigative reporting on the damage overpayments and clawbacks have done to millions of beneficiaries. When O’Malley, a former Democratic governor of Maryland, presented his plans to three congressional committees in March, lawmakers greeted him with rare bipartisan praise. But the past several months have shown how hard it can be to turn around a federal bureaucracy that is massive, complex, deeply dysfunctional, and, as it says, understaffed. Now O’Malley’s time may be running out. Lang of Justice in Aging, among the advocacy groups that have been meeting with O’Malley and other Social Security officials, said she appreciates how much the commissioner has achieved in a short time. But she added that O’Malley has “not been interested in hearing about our feelings that things have fallen short.” One long-standing policy O’Malley set out to change involves the burden of proof. When the Social Security Administration alleges someone has been overpaid and demands the money back, the burden is on the beneficiary to prove they were not at fault. Cecilia Malone, 24, a beneficiary in Lithonia, Georgia, said she and her parents spent hundreds of hours trying to get errors corrected. “Why is the burden on us to ‘prove’ we weren’t overpaid?” Malone said. It can be exceedingly difficult for beneficiaries to appeal a decision. The alleged overpayments, which can reach tens of thousands of dollars or more, often span years. And people struggling just to survive may have extra difficulty producing financial records from long ago. What’s more, in letters demanding repayment, the government does not typically spell out its case against the beneficiary — making it hard to mount a defense. Testifying before House and Senate committees in March, O’Malley promised to shift the burden of proof. “That should be on the agency,” he said. The agency expects to finalize “guidance” on the subject “in the coming months,” Hinkle said. The agency points to reduced wait times and other improvements in a phone system known to leave beneficiaries on hold. “In September, we answered calls to our national 800 number in an average of 11 minutes — a tremendous improvement from 42 minutes one year ago,” Hinkle said. Still, in response to a nonrepresentative survey by KFF Health News and Cox Media Group focused on overpayments, about half of respondents who said they contacted the agency by phone since April rated that experience as “poor,” and few rated it “good” or “excellent.” The survey was sent to about 600 people who had contacted KFF Health News to share their overpayment stories since September 2023. Almost 200 people answered the survey in September and October of this year. Most of those who said they contacted the agency by mail since April rated their experience as “poor.” Jennifer Campbell, 60, a beneficiary in Nelsonville, Ohio, said in late October that she was still waiting for someone at the agency to follow up as described during a phone call in May. “VERY POOR customer service!!!!!” Campbell wrote. “Nearly impossible to get a hold of someone,” wrote Kathryn Duff of Colorado Springs, Colorado, who has been helping a disabled family member. Letters from SSA have left Duff mystified. One was postmarked July 9, 2024, but dated more than two years earlier. Another, dated Aug. 18, 2024, said her family member was overpaid $31,635.80 in benefits from the Supplemental Security Income program, which provides money to people with little or no income or other resources who are disabled, blind, or at least 65. But Duff said her relative never received SSI benefits. What’s more, for the dates in question, payments listed in the letter to back up the agency’s math didn’t come close to $31,635.80; they totaled about a quarter of that amount. Regarding the 100% clawbacks, O’Malley in March said it’s “unconscionable that someone would find themselves facing homelessness or unable to pay bills, because Social Security withheld their entire payment for recovery of an overpayment.” He said that, starting March 25, if a beneficiary doesn’t respond to a new overpayment notice, the agency would default to withholding 10%. The agency warned of “a short transition period.” That change wasn’t automated until June 25, Hinkle said. The number of people newly placed in full withholding plummeted from 6,771 in February to 51 in September, according to data the agency provided. SSA said it would notify recipients they could request reduced withholding if it was already clawing back more than 10% of their monthly checks. Nonetheless, dozens of beneficiaries or their family members told KFF Health News and Cox Media Group they hadn’t heard they could request reduced withholding. Among those who did ask, roughly half said their requests were approved. According to the SSA, there has been almost a 20% decline in the number of people facing clawbacks of more than 10% but less than 100% of their monthly checks — from 141,316 as of March 8 to 114,950 as of Oct. 25, agency spokesperson Nicole Tiggemann said. Meanwhile, the number of people from whom the agency was withholding exactly 10% soared more than fortyfold — from just over 5,000 to well over 200,000. And the number of beneficiaries having any partial benefits withheld to recover an overpayment increased from almost 600,000 to almost 785,000, according to data Tiggemann provided. Lorraine Anne Davis, 72, of Houston, said she hasn’t received her monthly Social Security payment since June due to an alleged overpayment. Her Medicare premium was being deducted from her monthly benefit, so she’s been left to pay that out-of-pocket. Davis said she’s going to need a kidney transplant and had been trying to save money for when she’d be unable to work.

Apparently, the SSA hadn’t accounted for a pension Davis receives from overseas; Davis said she disclosed it when she filed for benefits. In a letter to her dated June 29, the agency said that, under its new policy, it would change the withholding to only 10% if she asked. Davis said she asked by phone repeatedly, and to no avail. “Nobody seems to know what’s going on” and “no one seems to be able to help you,” Davis said. “You’re just held captive.” In October, the agency said she’d receive a payment — in March 2025.

Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.The United States will provide Ukraine with a large weapons package, as President Joe Biden's outgoing administration seeks to bolster the government in Kyiv in its war with Russian invaders before leaving office in January. or signup to continue reading The deal is worth $US725 million ($A1.1 billion). The assistance will include Stinger missiles, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), drones and land mines, among other items, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday. Reuters had reported last week that the Biden administration planned to provide the equipment, much of it anti-tank weapons to ward off Russia's attacking troops. "The United States and more than 50 nations stand united to ensure Ukraine has the capabilities it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression," Blinken's statement said. The announcement marks a steep uptick in size from Biden's recent use of so-called Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the US to draw from current weapons stocks to help allies in an emergency. Recent PDA announcements have typically ranged from $US125 million ($A194 million) to $US250 million ($A388 million). Biden has an estimated $US4 billion ($A6.2 billion) to $US5 billion ($A7.8 billion) in PDA already authorised by Congress that he is expected to use for Ukraine before Republican President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20. The tranche of weapons represents the first time in decades the US has exported land mines, the use of which is controversial because of the potential harm to civilians. Although more than 160 countries have signed a treaty banning their use, Kyiv has been asking for them since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in early 2022, and Russian forces have used them on the front lines. The land mines that would be sent to Ukraine are "non-persistent," with a power system that lasts for just a short time, leaving the devices non-lethal. This means that - unlike older landmines - they would not remain in the ground, threatening civilians indefinitely. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

EDMONTON, Alberta — The Rangers’ recall of Victor Mancini on Friday was made in response to Zac Jones suffering an upper-body injury. With Jones considered day-to-day, after skating in his eighth straight game, Mancini was inserted right into the Rangers lineup Saturday night against the Oilers at Rogers Place. The 21-year-old Mancini was about to put on his skates for practice in Hartford when he heard he got the call from the Blueshirts. He checked out of his hotel, went to the airport, and after a few delays, he was off to Edmonton. Mancini didn’t check into his hotel until 3:30 a.m. “It’s going to be tough. It’s been kind of a crazy experience getting on a plane and coming all the way here,” the Rangers rookie said after morning skate. “Just make sure I get some rest in between now and the game. Obviously, they have a really good team, they have a lot of skilled forwards. So it’s going to be a real challenge, but I’m excited for that challenge. I think it’ll be good to see where I measure up.” The fact that the Rangers had Mancini haul out across the country to play against Edmonton, instead of just using Chad Ruhwedel, reveals that the organization considers the young blueliner to be the true seventh defenseman. After he played in nine of the Rangers’ first 10 games of the season, Mancini was scratched for four straight games before he was sent down. The Rangers wanted him to be playing instead of sitting in the press box. “He was here, he didn’t do anything to lose that spot, we just didn’t want him sitting here not playing games,” head coach Peter Laviolette said. “To keep him going and developing, he went back down to play games. Now he’s back. Rudy is a good defenseman for us, he’s played well. But the way it came out of camp, we were going with Vic at the time and I was upfront and honest and said if I could play seven I would, but we can’t. “We just didn’t want him sitting here doing nothing and so we sent him down to play games until we needed him again.” Filip Chytil skated with Ruhwedel after the team wrapped up morning skate. Despite joining the Rangers in Calgary after getting cleared of a concussion by specialists in New York, the Czech center did not dress for a fourth straight game. Jonathan Quick got the starting nod Saturday night against the Oilers, marking his fifth start of the season. Carrying in a shutout streak of 128:05, Quick aimed to secure his 398th career win.
Share Tweet Share Share Email In the pharmaceutical industry, compliance is key. One crucial aspect of this is adhering to the regulations set out in Title 21 CFR Part 11. This regulation governs the use of electronic records and signatures. It’s a critical part of maintaining data integrity and ensuring the validity of electronic documents. A Learning Management System (LMS) plays a vital role in this process. It’s a tool that facilitates training, knowledge management, and compliance within the industry. However, not all LMSs are created equal. To be compliant with 21 CFR Part 11, an LMS must have certain key features. This article will delve into these features, explaining their importance and how they support regulatory compliance. Whether you’re a quality assurance manager, a compliance officer, or a decision-maker in the pharmaceutical industry, this guide will provide valuable insights into selecting a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant LMS. Understanding 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance 21 CFR Part 11 sets the standard for electronic records and signatures. It ensures these elements are trusted and secure. The regulation is essential for maintaining the integrity and reliability of electronic documents within the pharmaceutical industry. Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 involves meeting stringent requirements. These requirements focus on maintaining data integrity, ensuring security, and verifying authenticity.

It governs the use of electronic records and signatures in pharmaceuticals. This regulation ensures these electronic forms hold the same legal standing as their paper counterparts. To comply, organizations must implement controls, such as audit trails and system validation. This ensures electronic records are reliable, consistent, and secure. These measures help organizations avoid risks and maintain compliance in a digital age. Why Compliance is Critical in the Pharmaceutical Industry Compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 is crucial for pharmaceuticals. It ensures that electronic records are accurate and complete. This accuracy is vital for patient safety and trust. Non-compliance can lead to serious repercussions, including fines and legal action. Hence, aligning with these regulations safeguards both the company and its consumers. It’s a necessary step to maintain industry standards and ensure operational integrity. Essential Features of a Compliant LMS A 21 CFR Part 11-compliant LMS must have several key features. These features enable the system to manage electronic records securely. They also ensure the effectiveness of pharmaceutical training programs. The right LMS supports compliance by tracking and documenting changes. It provides secure access to records, prevents unauthorized modifications, and offers robust reporting capabilities. This comprehensive approach ensures that all regulatory requirements are met efficiently. Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures Electronic records and signatures form the basis of compliance. A compliant LMS manages these elements with precision. It ensures that records are unalterable and signatures are legally binding. Features like secure storage and retrieval of electronic records are crucial. They enhance traceability and accountability within the system. By ensuring each electronic signature is unique and secure, the LMS supports trust and compliance in operations. Audit Trails and Data Integrity Audit trails are critical in monitoring changes. They provide a detailed history of actions taken within the LMS. This feature helps identify who made changes and when they occurred. Data integrity involves ensuring records are complete and unaltered. A compliant LMS includes features to verify data accuracy consistently. These functionalities are crucial for maintaining trust and reliability in electronic records. System Validation and Data Security System validation guarantees an LMS works correctly. It ensures accuracy, consistency, and reliability in performance. Validation processes involve rigorous testing and documentation to meet regulatory standards. Data security is paramount in maintaining compliance. The LMS must encrypt data and prevent unauthorized access. By doing so, the system protects sensitive information, reinforcing confidence in its compliance capabilities. User Authentication and Access Control User authentication ensures that only authorized individuals access the LMS. This involves processes like password protection and possibly biometric verification. These measures prevent unauthorized data access and modifications. Access control allows organizations to set permissions for different users. It ensures employees only access functions pertinent to their roles. This minimizes the risk of accidental changes and strengthens compliance with regulatory standards. Enhancing Training and Compliance with a 21 CFR Part 11-Compliant LMS A 21 CFR Part 11-compliant LMS is a key tool for enhancing training. It offers features tailored to meet both training and compliance needs effectively. This integration streamlines processes for organizations.

How major US stock indexes fared Thursday, 11/21/2024TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Donald Trump that Americans would also suffer if the president-elect follows through on a plan to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products , a Canadian minister who attended their recent dinner said Monday. Trump threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders with the United States. He said on social media last week that he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, attended a dinner with Trump and Trudeau at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club on Friday. Trudeau requested the meeting in a bid to avoid the tariffs by convincing Trump that the northern border is nothing like the U.S. southern border with Mexico . "The prime minister of course spoke about the importance of protecting the Canadian economy and Canadian workers from tariffs, but we also discussed with our American friends the negative impact that those tariffs could have on their economy, on affordability in the United States as well," LeBlanc said in Parliament. If Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, alcohol and other goods. The Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, said last week that tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when the countries retaliate. Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the U.S. should Trump follow through on the threat. After his dinner with Trump, Trudeau returned home without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. “The idea that we came back empty handed is completely false,” LeBlanc said. “We had a very productive discussion with Mr. Trump and his future Cabinet secretaries. ... The commitment from Mr. Trump to continue to work with us was far from empty handed.” Joining Trump and Trudeau at dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department, and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, told The Associated Press on Sunday that “the message that our border is so vastly different than the Mexican border was really understood.” Hillman, who sat at an adjacent table to Trudeau and Trump, said Canada is not the problem when it comes to drugs and migrants. On Monday, Mexico’s president rejected those comments. “Mexico must be respected, especially by its trading partners,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said. She said Canada had its own problems with fentanyl consumption and “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has.” Flows of migrants and seizures of drugs at the two countries’ border are vastly different. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border during the last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. Most of the fentanyl reaching the U.S. — where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually — is made by Mexican drug cartels using precursor chemicals smuggled from Asia. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 1.53 million encounters with migrants at the southwest border with Mexico between October 2023 and September 2024. That compares to 23,721 encounters at the Canadian border during that time. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing for national security.SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — A large rubber duck sits on the diving end of the pool. Opposite him, on the other end of the pool, a golden retriever sociably patrols the deck, looking for people to greet and even coax some attention from. The duo was tasked with an important job inside the Williamson Sports Center on the Skidmore College campus. They were watching over members of the Ballston Spa and Saratoga Springs girls swimming and diving teams set to compete in this weekend’s New York State Championship at Webster Aquatic Center.

Novak Djokovic says his rivalry with Andy Murray has “one final chapter” after his long-time adversary joined him as his coach for the upcoming Australian Open. Murray – Britain’s greatest ever player – retired after this summer’s Olympics at the age of 37 after finally admitting defeat in his battle against his body. Many in the game expected the Scot would one day return to tennis and become a coach, particularly due to his love of the sport, hard work and his tactical acumen. He never liked retirement anyway. 🙌 — Novak Djokovic (@DjokerNole) But it came with some degree of shock on Saturday afternoon when a social media post from Djokovic, playing on Murray’s light-hearted tweet upon his departure, read: “He never liked retirement anyway”. The attached video announced Murray, who he lost to in two Slam finals but beat in four Australian showpieces, would coach him over the winter and through January’s Open in Melbourne. “We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of pushing each other to our limits. We had some of the most epic battles in in our sport. They called us gamechangers, risk-takers, history-makers,” Djokovic said. “I thought our story may be over. Turns out it has one final chapter. It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner. Welcome aboard, coach Andy Murray.” Murray, who beat Djokovic to win the US Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013, says he wants to help the 24-time grand slam champion achieve his goals. “I’m going to be joining Novak’s team in the off-season, helping him to prepare for the Australian Open, he said. “I’m really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals.” Djokovic, a week younger than his new coach, added: “I am excited to have one of my greatest rivals on the same side of the net, as my coach. “Looking forward to the start of the season and competing in Australia alongside Andy with whom I have shared many exceptional moments on the Australian soil.” Djokovic beat Murray in the 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016 Australian Open finals as well as the French Open final in 2016. It was after he unseated Djokovic at the top of the rankings in 2016 that Murray suffered the hip injury which ultimately derailed his career. Since his retirement, Murray has been playing golf with the same dedication he pursued his tennis but will now return to his natural habitat. Djokovic, who split with coach Goran Ivanisevic earlier this year, hopes that adding Murray to his team will help him get back to the top of the game after he went through a calendar year without winning a grand slam for the first time since 2017. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have developed a stranglehold at the top of the men’s game and Djokovic, who has seen Murray, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal all retire in recent years, is still hoping to move clear of the record 24 grand slams he shares with Margaret Court.How to transform your kitchen in 2025 with 4 top trends
