(Bloomberg) -- Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government is being accused of dropping its pledge to end austerity after cutting a further 4 billion pounds ($5.8 billion) a year for departments in the budget.The reductions in day-to-day spending plans unveiled on Wednesday by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak set the stage for a challenging review of resources for government ministries later this year. It adds to savings of over 12 billion pounds announced just four months ago and suggests a squeeze for everything except health, defense and education.Johnson swept to power in 2019 on a pledge to “level up” poorer regions and end years of cuts introduced by then finance minister George Osborne to tackle what was at the time a record budget deficit following the financial crisis. But his plans have been made more difficult by the even bigger levels of borrowing to get the country through the coronavirus pandemic.“It’s not going to feel like the end of austerity if you run a prison or bits of local government,” Torsten Bell, chief executive officer of the Resolution Foundation research group, said in briefing Thursday. “On public services, it’s going to feel like George Osborne is still around.”Sunak combined stimulus this year with plans for spending cuts and billions of pounds of tax increases on companies and individuals in the biggest revenue-raising budget since 1993. The overall tax burden is on course to reach the highest since the late 1960s, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility.In an analysis of the budget, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said so-called unprotected areas will see their budgets fall by around 1% in real terms in 2022-23, adding to the plight of departments such as the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice that bore the brunt of Osborne’s austerity drive.“It’s going to be something that feels a bit like austerity for at least some public services if we are going to keep to these public spending plans,” said Deputy Director Carl Emmerson. “It will be cuts coming on top of that very tight period of spending restraint for those areas.”Some questioned whether the current spending plans can be delivered, given the pressure to increase resources for the National Health Service and education in light of the pandemic. That could mean that even larger tax rises are required in the future to put the debt burden on a downward path.In broadcast interviews on Thursday, Sunak defended his budget, saying the Conservative government has increased day-to-day and capital spending by almost 70 billion pounds since being elected.“That’s a huge increase, delivering on our promises for more nurses, more police officers, more hospitals, leveling up across the country,” Sunak told BBC Radio. “Over the course of this parliament you will see public spending grow at what are historically high levels as we deliver on all of those commitments.”For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Dublin, March 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Proteomics market (2020-2025) by Instrumentation Technology, Reagents, Services & Software, Application, Geography, Competitive Analysis and the Impact of Covid-19 with Ansoff Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The Global Proteomics Market is estimated to be USD 20.3 Bn in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 35.6 Bn by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12%.The transformation of the biopharmaceutical industry's focus from genomics to system biology has led to an increase in the demand for proteomics. Also, certain drug manufacturers have started with their proteomic divisions boosting the growth of this market. The market is highly characterized by R&D investments and an increasing number of collaborations between enterprises.Factors such as increasing demand for personalized medicine with a need to curb down the costs on healthcare by promoting effective drugs and the rise in the R&D for the former have promoted the growth of the proteomics market.However, the constraining factor for market growth is strict regulatory norms and the instruments' high cost. Lack of skilled professionals in the proteomics industry impedes the growth of the market. The opportunities associated with biomarker identification and developments in mass spectrometry-based proteomics are expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market.Market Dynamics Drivers Increase in Popularity of Personalized MedicinesAn Upsurge in R&D ExpenditureTechnological Advancements Associated with Proteomics Components Restraints High Costs Associated with Proteomics ComponentsThe dearth of Skilled ProfessionalsHuge Disconnect Between Biomarker Discovery and Biomarker Approval By Regulatory Authorities Opportunities Lucrative Opportunities Associated with Biomarker IdentificationDevelopments in Mass Spectrometry-Based ProteomicsAvailability of Government and Private FundingTechnological Advancements Challenges Regulatory Barriers Trends Development in Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics Segments Covered By Instrumentation Technology, the Protein Fractionation segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. This growth is due to the benefits of Protein Fractionation of effectively separating thousands of proteins in a complex structure and high resolution. The need for the analysis of complex structures is increasing in proteomics research.By Reagent, the Protein Fractionation Reagents segment is expected to witness a faster growth rate during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the increasing need for protein separation from complex mixtures, thereby moving towards effective analysis.By Services & Software, the Core Proteomics Services accounted for the largest share of the market. These services are the basis of proteomics and are highly adopted at every stage of proteome analysis.By Application, the Clinical Diagnostics Segment holds the largest share of the proteomics market. This can be attributed to the increased adoption of the relevance of investigating and understanding patterns of protein expression for disease diagnostics and drug development.By Geography, North America is estimated to lead the market. The factors attributing to the growth of this market are advanced technology with increased adoption of proteomic components for the development of personalized therapeutics. Besides, there has been extensive research and development on next-gen therapeutics.

The murder conviction of a former altar boy who carried out the vigilante killing of a man he wrongly believed was a paedophile has been upheld by judges. Christopher Hunnisett bludgeoned Peter Bick with a hammer and strangled him with a shoelace, just months after being released from prison over another killing. Court of Appeal judges were asked to review the conviction and consider if Hunnisett was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time of the attack.

Scientists have become concerned about several variants, including one first identified in the Brazilian city of Manaus.
"In Veneto l'indice Rt è a 1,12. Si torna a ballare, in senso negativo". Lo dice il presidente della regione Luca Zaia illustrando il bollettino di oggi, 4 marzo, sull'emergenza e i contagi di Coronavirus. In Veneto nelle ultime 24 ore ci sono stati 1.487 contagi e 20 morti. L'incidenza è al 3,62%. "Ho sentito il ministro Speranza stamattina, di certo ci sono regioni più in sofferenza di noi e a livello nazionale l'Italia si sta colorando sempre di più di arancione, arancione scuro e rosso", sottolinea Zaia nel consueto punto stampa. "Mi sembra di capire che, in diverse misure e modalità, l'azione sulla scuola è in corso. E' innegabile che davanti a questa infezione la prima preoccupazione va ai ragazzi e alle loro famiglie", evidenzia il governatore veneto. "Noi abbiamo un indice Rt di 1,12, anche se non abbiamo ancora tassi di ospedalizzazione importanti", dice ancora Zaia, spiegando che "abbiamo un tasso di occupazione del 12% delle terapie intensive e del 17% nei ricoveri in area non critica, ma siamo preoccupati dall'andamento e da quello che sta succedendo nelle altre regioni". "Con questo Rt -prosegue-, con questi dati e la circolazione del virus penso sia verosimile purtroppo di tornare a ballare un po'. L'aereo può avere turbolenze in volo, ma i cittadini possono darci una mano". Per quanto riguarda la scuola, Zaia precisa che "non si è deciso ancora nulla sulla chiusura delle scuole. In questa fase stiamo facendo una analisi seria della situazione epidemiologica nelle scuole secondo logiche comunali, sono preoccupato e seguirò a vista la scuola".
