DAILY UNIVERSAL REGISTER BRIEFING UK: The FTSE publishes annual figures on the number of women on boards and in senior leadership positions in the FTSE 350, as well as 50 of the UK’s largest companies; the House of Commons international development committee holds an evidence session in Westminster as part of its inquiry into the humanitarian situation in Gaza, with witnesses from the World Health Organisation and the World Food Programme; the Chatham House think tank in London holds its Security and Defence Conference 2024, focused on the changing global security order, with speakers including Tony Radakin, chief of the UK Defence Staff. International: UN Security Council meets at the UN headquarters New York to discuss the political and humanitarian situations in Syria. ON THIS DAY In 1814 Ludwig van Beethoven’s 8th Symphony was premiered in Vienna, Austria, in a concert that also featured the Seventh Symphony and the popular Wellington’s Victory; in 1854 the composer Robert Schumann attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge into the Rhine, but was rescued by fishermen. He spent the remaining two years of his life in an asylum; in 1879 Constantin Fahlberg, a researcher, accidentally discovered the artificial sweetener saccharin. The findings were jointly published with Ira Remsen, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland; in 1900 the Labour Representation Committee was founded in London. In 1906, 26 MPs were elected to parliament, and on February 15, 1906, the name the Labour Party was adopted; in 1917 “Captain Jack” Crawford, known as the Poet Scout for his verses about the Wild West, died aged 69. He and other former scouts such as Buffalo Bill shaped the legends of the American frontier. His works include The Poet Scout (1879) and The Broncho Book (1908). NATURE NOTES A couple of youngsters were hanging around outside the Co-op in a picture postcard-perfect village in southern England. They had long hair, and were slightly unkempt, but the customers going in and out barely gave them a second glance. Eventually they strolled off, hooves clopping on the pavement, to crop the grass outside a Georgian redbrick house. Handsome, hardy and compact, New Forest ponies are native to the British Isles. They roam freely in the national park, both in town and open countryside, their grazing part of the reason the area looks as it does with open “lawns” amid scrub and woodland. They are owned by the New Forest commoners who round them up once a year for a health check.
