First-time buyer aid cash: SW England gets biggest share

Image caption Cornwall is popular with people buying second homes South-west England has been awarded the largest share of a fund raised through extra stamp duty on second homes to help first-time buyers in England.
The area, which accounts for 21% of all second-home ownership in England, is to get £19.1m of the £60m annual fund.
The money will be distributed to “community-led” groups to encourage the building of affordable housing.
Labour"s John Healey said last year saw the lowest level of new affordable homes built since 1991.

Vicelich: 2014 one of New Zealand’s biggest sporting feats

© Getty Images Auckland City’s Ivan Vicelich is one of the all-time veterans of the FIFA Club World Cup, having played at a staggering five editions. Despite initially hanging up his boots at the start of the season, the 40-year-old has been sensationally drafted into the Navy Blues’ squad as a late replacement for the injured Yousif Al-Khalisy, assuming the role of player-assistant coach.
Although unlikely to play in Japan this year, it still remains a possibility that New Zealand’s most-capped player could feature for Ramon Tribulietx’s side, in what would likely be his last tournament.
It would be a dramatic return to the competition for the defender, whose last appearance saw him claim the adidas Bronze Ball, next to Golden and Silver Ball winners Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, after captaining the semi-professional minnows to a stunning third-place finish against the odds in Morocco.
“2014 was one of the biggest accomplishments in New Zealand sporting history, never mind f..

The results forced RBS to devise plans to bolster its balance sheet by £2bn through cost cuts and shedding assets.

The BoE found Barclays and Standard Chartered also missed key hurdles but had already taken steps to cope.
RBS, which is still 73% owned by the government after its bailout during the 2008 financial crisis, said it had “agreed a revised capital plan… to improve its stress resilience”.
It said the change came “in light of the various challenges and uncertainties facing both the bank and the wider economy highlighted by the concurrent stress testing process”.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Lady Altmann was pensions minister in David Cameron"s government Britain is in danger of “sleepwalking into a social care crisis”, a former pensions minister has warned.
Ros Altmann called on the government to use tax breaks to help people save for care in later life, as she said the cost of funding provision was pushing the NHS in England to breaking point.
She said she warned other ministers of looming problems last year.
The Department of Health said it was significantly raising the funds local authorities have access to for care.
Lady Altmann, who was pensions minister under David Cameron, said the chancellor should use Wednesday"s Autumn Statement to offer incentives to help families “recognise the need” to prepare for care costs.
"Eldercare vouchers"”This should have been done years ago, but successive governments have failed to offer any help,” she said.
