'...a new study tasked with judging the results of these programs...' There is no such verb as to task except in the worst management-speak dictionaries. Even if there were, the study itself couldn't have been 'tasked', only the authors thereof. So we need this rewrite: '...a new study looking at the results of these programs...'

saying the same thing twice using different words, as in '...closing the case means it won't be re-examined again.' Either 're-examined' or 'examined again' Not both. Other tautologies often found: 'And also we speak to...' '8.30am Thursday morning...' 'new innovation'.

The Times is the original national daily published in the UK. Others include The New York Times, The Irish Times, and The Times of India. But there's no such paper as The London Times, even though New Yorkers may refer to it that way. If you want to be specific, better to write 'the UK Times', with only 'Times' in italics.
