Venus Williams has warned her rivals that she has not even entertained the thought of retiring while she remains at the pinnacle of women’s tennis. Williams is preparing to defend her Wimbledon Singles title this week, a Grand Slam she has made her own since claiming her first crown in 2000. Last year’s final success against sister Serena was her fifth in the English capital and she is also aiming for a hat-trick of titles this year, having defeated Marion Bartoli in 2007.

Blacks accounted for 6.5 percent of the population in 2005, down from a high of 13.4 percent in 1970, says the Census. Among other factors, closure of the city’s shipyard in the early 1970s caused many blacks to leave for jobs elsewhere. Activists say blacks were left out of the new service economy.
