pharmaceuticals leader warns the money may no longer be available for next generation cancer treatmentsmichael savage policy editorup to £70m will have to be diverted from developing new cancer drugs in order to prepare for the impact of brexit, britain's biggest drugmaker has warned.in a stark intervention over the extra costs being incurred, phil thomson, president of global affairs at glaxosmithkline (gsk), made clear that something approaching the figure would have to be spent whatever the outcome of trade talks.in evidence to the commons health select committee, he said that he would rather be spending the money on the company's efforts to find new, life-saving cancer treatments.related: brexit: may urged to stay in single market by 20 british mepshe said the company estimated that 1,700 of its products would be directly affected by a chaotic brexit, with new regulation processes, labs and approval systems costing “somewhere between £60m and £70m”.“even if we have a smooth and orderly brexit process, and we work through with a new [free trade agreement] or a new arrangement, there are going to be costs of that magnitude anyway, but they will probably be more phased,” thomson told the committee last month. | en |
“we will probably be able to reallocate some of those costs elsewhere. | en |
it may not be as significant as the contingency plan, but the reality is that we are already going to have to spend some of that.“all i would say to you is that we are going to do everything we can to minimise disruption. | en |
obviously, that money could though, be being put behind clinical trials, and i can tell you right now that we have a cancer portfolio we are trying to invest in, into which that money should be going, to develop the next generation of cancer medicines. | en |
that is something – i will be honest with you – that we are wrestling with internally inside gsk.”he added that under some scenarios, products that have been approved in the uk would need to be re‑authorised for europe. | en |
“of the products affected, the impact of the testing changes and the reregistration is about 13,000 packs that will have to be updated as a result of what we need to do,” he said.some money was already being spent, he said. | en |
“the timeline to implement the laboratories, at a minimum, takes 18 months; so, we are already having to initiate cost as a result of this.”sarah wollaston, the conservative chair of the health select committee, said it was her personal view that the uk should try to stay inside the european medicines agency, to ensure current regulation remained as simple as possible.the liberal democrats said they had uncovered figures suggesting the cost of importing medicines had already jumped by £5m since the brexit vote. | en |
freedom of information data from 32 nhs trusts found they had spent an extra £1.2m due to the fall in the pound since the referendum – the equivalent of an extra £5m across all 135 nhs trusts.related: glaxosmithkline set to build drug testing plant in europegsk has already announced it is preparing to build new drug testing facilities in europe as part of contingency plans. | en |
the pharmaceutical industry as a whole has been warning about the impact on patients as a result of a chaotic brexit.sheuli porkess, from the association of the british pharmaceutical industry, said: “the way each company is approaching brexit depends on their own individual circumstances, but we've already seen a number of companies make decisions about their future business. | en |
these decisions are being taken – at a cost – to replicate important safety and quality assurance processes for medicines in the uk and the eu, and take time to implement.“the sheer scale and complexity of safely ensuring 45m packs of medicine make their way from the uk to europe each month – and over 37m packs coming the other way – requires processes to be in place well before march 2019.”a spokeswoman for the department of health said: “our absolute priority is the safety of patients and we are doing everything we can to make sure they continue to have access to the best and most innovative medicines, and that their safety is protected by the strongest regulatory framework.” | en |
google is reportedly working on two projects that will enhance g suiteone project lets companies manage their employees" datathe other project is a business-centric voip serviceit's no secret that google's rebranding of google apps for work into g suite, as well as improvements and additions made to it since, has been an effort to remain competitive against microsoft's office 365 and other offerings.if a report from the information is on the money, however, google will make significant improvements to g suite, starting with a mysterious project that lets companies manage their employees" data. | en |
google reportedly asked g suite customers what tools they used to manage employees" data, and while there is no name for the project, google will reportedly charge customers $8 a month for every employee the company manages data for.google's unnamed project is reminiscent of microsoft's existing active directory, which looks to be ready sometime during the first half of 2018. the information didn't say when the search giant will launch its service, though odds are that will happen sometime in 2018.editor's pickgoogle reportedly thinking about selling its zagat restaurant review guidesince 2011, zagat has been under google ownership in an effort to push the search giant's local search efforts. | en |
fast forward six years, and it looks like google might be ready to offload the restaurant …arguably more intriguing is another one of google's projects, codenamed “wolverine.” this one is reportedly a business-centric voice-over-ip service that can route calls inside and outside of a company. | en |
if that sounds familiar, that's because microsoft's skype for business already does something similar, so this is more of google catching up than a trailblazing move.whatever wolverine ends up looking like once it becomes available, it will reportedly be cloud-based and help google make improvements to hangouts" video and audio calling. | en |
specific information like price and availability is unknown, though we might learn more at some point in 2018.overall, these new projects indicate google's want to double-down on g suite. | en |
microsoft is a huge player in the enterprise market, so all google can do is continue to chip away at the folks from redmond and see what happens. | en |

arsene wenger believes jack wilshere is a future arsenal captain – despite the midfielder only having six months left on his emirates stadium contract. | en |
wilshere took the armband for the 0-0 efl cup semi-final first-leg draw at chelsea earlier this month and his form has been a positive during a difficult spell for the club. | en |
persistent ankle problems left the 26-year-old down the pecking order and he spent last season on loan at bournemouth. | en |
but now, with alexis sanchez poised to head through the exit door and mesut ozil's contract also winding down, arsenal are in talks to retain the england international, who appears vital to their prospects once again. | en |
"i see him here because he is an arsenal man," wenger told reporters. | en |
"he was here at the age of 10 and i believe as well he's not only been here for a long time but he has some leadership qualities. | en |
"wenger feels wilshere's injury torment has resulted in his taking a more measured approach to his physical conditioning. | en |
he analyses better," he added. | en |
"before his desire to play was the only thing that mattered. | en |
"he has a lot of prevention to do and he does that religiously now. | en |

prince charles and his sister princess anne conducted the most public duties on behalf of the royal family this year.in the year that prince philip retired from public duties and queen elizabeth ii concentrated largely on engagements based around london, charles, 69, undertook the most engagements at home and abroad, according to a keen royal water from u.k. newspaper the times. | en |
while he served 374 engagements in britain, he was much less busy than his sister anne, who did 455. however, he conducted 172 engagements abroad to her 85, clocking in a total of 546.the older royals easily outrank the younger ones in terms of number of jobs.prince william, who flew helicopters in the air ambulance alongside his royal work until early summer, conducted 117 engagements at home and 54 abroad, while kate middleton had the smallest total of the senior royals.from left: prince william, prince george, kate middleton and princess charlottekate, 35, who largely devotes herself to being a mother to her two young children prince george and princess charlotte, also had to call a halt to public engagements in the fall as she fell ill in the early weeks of her third pregnancy. | en |
she conducted 63 engagements at home and another 42 abroad, including trips to germany and poland with william and the children.prince harry, 33, carried out 139 engagements at home (including a few in nottingham with fiancée meghan markle as she was introduced to the royal world on dec. 1) and 70 abroad - most notably when he headed to toronto for the invictus games in september.prince harry and meghan markleaccording to retired insurance broker tim o’donovan — who compiled the list for the times — the queen, 91, carried out 296 public duties and prince philip, 96, did 131.o’donovan compiles the figures from the published court circular of engagements listed by the palace. | en |
"i should again emphasize that the above table of figures should not be converted into a "league table" of individual royal performance," he said. | en |
"all engagements differ as to time and content and there is also the time taken in preparation, whether it be a visit, investiture or speech. | en |
"he adds, "except for christmas day and easter day, the queen never has a day off from [reading documents] from the official red boxes." | en |
apple has become the target for another class action suit over the meltdown and spectre vulnerabilities found in intel and arm-based processors, as a suit filed in the california u.s. district court is going after the company for designing the a-series processors bearing these same defects.the class action filing by legal firm wolf haldenstein adler freeman & herz was filed on jan. 8, at the u.s. district court in san jose, california. | en |
the filing lists jacqueline olson and anthony bartling as the plaintiffs, identified as owners of various iphone models, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated as part of the class complaint.it is alleged that all apple processors are defective because they were designed in a way that allows hackers and malicious programs potential access to highly secure information stored on idevices. | en |
noting the revelations of meltdown and spectre in intel chips, the complaint acknowledges that a patch to protect from meltdown is available, but will result in a reduction in processing speed for the chip.for spectre, the complaint asserts there is no complete firmware or software patch for the vulnerability at this time, adding that it is not precisely known if any patches or firmware to defeat it could do so without slowing the processor's speed. | en |
a long term solution to completely eliminate the risk of the spectre issue may require the development of new hardware and/or architectures, states the filing.because of this, it is claimed that apple has not been able to offer an effective repair to its customers, in that a patch affecting processor performance is not a legitimate solution, as is any patch that can fully eliminate the vulnerabilities altogether. | en |
"plaintiffs would not have purchased the idevices had they known of the security vulnerabilities," write the complainants, offering no suggestions for what they would have purchased otherwise. | en |
"or they would not have paid the prices they paid for the idevices (in which the apples processors were a component) had they known that they would be subject to the security vulnerabilities as well as a slowdown in speed and thus decrease in quality and value. | en |
"the complaint also claims apple has known about the defects since at least june of 2017. while apple admitted the vulnerability affects its devices, and had released an ios update to address meltdown in december, the filing suggests apple knew or should have known of the design defect much earlier and could have disclosed the design defect more promptly.due to knowing about the issue and continuing to sell affected devices without repairing or warning of the vulnerability beforehand, the suit alleges the idevices it sold and distributed were not of the quality represented and were not fit for their ordinary purposes.the filing insists that there are at least 100 members in the proposed class that have been affected by the issue, and the aggregated claims of the members will exceed the sum of $5 million if the suit proceeds and is found in its favor.this is not the only class action suit apple has become involved with relating to meltdown and spectre, as a separate class action suit taking on apple, intel, and arm over the matter has recently been filed in israel.intel has been the main subject of the lawsuits, both from those claiming it has affected consumers as well as those on behalf of shareholders.apple sued in us over spectre,meltdown in ios by mike wuerthele on scribd | en |
