A report presented to the HS2 board by the project's deputy chair Sir Jon Thompson said it was "very unlikely" that the £40.3 billion target cost for the London to Birmingham section would be met, the Financial Times reported.
The Financial Times said Sir Jon's report also warned that rising inflation is presenting a "significant and growing challenge" and that continuing to record costs in 2019 prices means none of the figures reflected "what has been or is being paid".
Our Father (2022)
As good as Netflix documentaries are, there's been a tendency to drag out true crime into these bloated multiepisode series. Thankfully Our Father is the opposite of that. It's a lean, perfectly executed documentary focused on Donald Cline, an Indiana fertility doctor who used his own sperm to inseminate a ridiculous number of women against their will.
'The text was a copy of my biopsy results along with the paragraph "I want to see you next week to check your recovery and we will contact the haematologist to get you booked in to be seen and make a treatment plan",' Kadi told FEMAIL, who was at work at the time.
It's a story about the unsolved murder of Catherine Cesnik, a nun who taught at a Catholic school in Baltimore, but The Keepers goes further than you might expect and exposes a potential coverup of sex abuse allegations.
It's a sports documentary series, with each episode going in-depth on controversial sports topics. The first episode focuses on Malice at the Palace, the notorious basketball match where Ron Artest waded into the crowd and wailed on fans back in 2004.
Who Killed Little Gregory (2019)
Who Killed Little Gregory is a documentary focused on the horrific murder of Grégory Villemin. It's about a murder, and attempts to solve that murder, but it's also a lesson in media representation and the horrific sexism Grégory's mother had to face in the wake of her son's murder. It's arguably the best true crime documentary on Netflix.
The Tinder Swindler (2022)
A documentary focused on Shimon Hayut, aka the "Tinder Swindler," a conman who used dating apps to defraud multiple women across Europe to fund a lavish lifestyle.
Season 2 is now available and while the show has lost a lot of its bite, it's intriguing to catch up with this cast of wild human beings doing wild, completely outlandish things. Tiger King explores the strange underbelly of big cat breeding, focusing on a cast of unforgettable (and ultimately dangerous) characters. It drags its audience to weird places.
Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (2022)
It's almost impossible to overstate how famous Jimmy Savile was in the UK -- particularly in the 1980s. He was beyond a household name, in many ways he felt like an eccentric uncle to the nation.
Prepare yourself, this one might break you. The Speed Cubers (2020)
If you're looking for a slightly more uplifting documentary, you could do far worse than The Speed Cubers, a look at the world of competitive... It's short, but packs an incredible emotional punch.
Currently, Leonor, who is understood to speak four languages including Mandarin, juggles her life as a young princess with her work as a student at the Welsh boarding school, dubbed 'Hippie Hogwarts' thanks to its progressive approach to education and picturesque castle setting.
Operation Varsity Blues focused on the FBI investigation into college admissions that put actress Felicity Huffman into jail. This isn't quite as compelling, but is still well worth watching. Its director, Chris Smith, previously worked on the Fyre Festival documentary.
The Girl in the Picture (2022)
The Girl in the Picture is the latest true crime documentary from Netflix. It's up there with the service's absolute best work.
Athlete A (2020)
Athlete A is a great feature length expose on Larry Nassar, the team doctor of USA Gymnastics, who had been sexually abusing female athletes for decades.
The concert is hosted by the Princess of Asturias Foundation, which, according to its website, aims to 'contribute to extolling and promoting those scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form part of the universal heritage of humanity'.
Fighting against a brain tumor and his own personal demons, Lindgren is a compelling case study. Focusing on Scott Lindgren, a kayaking legend who was a pioneer of the sport, this is a traditional story of an extreme sports star overcoming odds, but it runs a little deeper than that.
The Keepers (2017)
I've watched plenty of true crime documentaries on Netflix, but nothing has come close to The Keepers. A staggering story, told across generations, that's respectful of the victims, yet compelling throughout.
The Financial Times said Sir Jon's report also warned that rising inflation is presenting a "significant and growing challenge" and that continuing to record costs in 2019 prices means none of the figures reflected "what has been or is being paid".
