Boy A and Boy B lied systematically and dodged responsibility for their extreme violence, despite coming from loving families. Adolescence blames Jamie’s violence on what one detective sergeant calls “that Andrew Tate shite”, referring to the repellent and misogynistic so-called manosphere influencer. It found that for the majority of incels, violence and hatred are more likely to be directed inwards rather than outwards. Life is not easy for young men or young women, but chronically online culture pushes them further apart into ideological bubbles. Making boys and young men feel even worse about themselves is no solution.

Aussie tennis star Destanee Aiava has hit back at a troll who posted what she called a 'f***ing disgusting' comment on her looks by exposing them on Instagram in a furious broadside. Aiava – who was knocked out of qualifying for the main draw of this year's tournament – posted the troll's comment, 'Tennis isn't for you try finding something else. Aiava said many trolls try to excuse their behaviour by saying it's just their opinion, when what they write is actually completely disrespectful. 'Commenting on someone's social media saying you're a big back, you can't play tennis, you're fat, yada yada yada, that's just straight-up bullying,' she said. 'The way that people think it's OK just because someone is a public figure, that they can comment this s**t?

Apprentice makers urged to tighten vetting after candidate’s social media stormBy Casey Cooper-Fiske, PA Senior Entertainment ReporterThe BBC has demanded the makers of The Apprentice tighten their vetting after a candidate on the upcoming series was found to have made racist and sexist posts on social media. The 33-year-old from South Yorkshire apologised for the posts, which were deleted after the newspaper alerted the broadcaster. A BBC spokesperson said: “We were completely unaware that this contestant had made such abhorrent comments. “We have asked the independent production company for further assurances on their social media checks given the process has not been completed to a satisfactory standard in this instance. “We work with reputable third-party providers to carry out comprehensive background and social media checks on all of our candidates as part of our rigorous due diligence before casting.

In the 19th century, long-distance hiking hardly existed as an endeavour. Ordinary people were fixated on a daily struggle to lift themselves from poverty with the result that esoteric practices, such as multi-day hikes, didn’t really feature as leisure options. Walking was dictated by necessity and people avoided it if they could since it was seen, not as pleasurable, but as a means to an end. Change came in the early 20th century with a movement in the USA that viewed extended hiking not as a chore, but as having merit in itself.

The NHS is teaching midwives the 'benefits' of cousin marriage despite it increasing the risk of birth defects, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Admitting there are some 'risks to child health associated with close relative marriage', the guidance says these should 'be balanced against the potential benefits... from this marriage practice'. The document, used as training for midwives, states that 'discouraging cousin marriage is inappropriate' and would be 'alienating and ineffective'. The risk, says the guide, are 'exaggerated' and there has been an 'unwarranted, narrow focus on close relative marriage'. The Mail on Sunday has previously found areas in the UK with cousin marriage are significantly more likely to claim benefits – owing to the higher levels of birth defects.

Asked what constrained him then he replied: “It depends on how you define international law. International law functions here as consistency, predictability and certainty, all of which are likely to be withheld from a rogue US, since transactional politics requires reciprocity. Law can be weaponised against a rogue US, just as it did with globalisation’s supply chains over the last generation. Power as law can be confronted by law as power.

Dubliner Tanya Sweeney has a lot to celebrate as we ease into 2026. Her debut novel, Esther is Now Following You, has arrived in bookshops accompanied by the kind of pre-publicity and literary merch (badges and tote bags) most budding authors can only fantasise about. “Writing a novel was like a monkey on my back,” Sweeney says over coffee. “It was a massively stressful time, so anything creative went by the wayside and I fell into a bit of a depression about it all.

Zedda says she uses ChatGPT to help her “clarify” her ideas. “When you’re a very busy person and you have all these goals, you put a lot of pressure on yourself so sometimes using ChatGPT helps me clarify my ideas,” she says. Their use as a replacement for therapists due to their accessibility is of increasing concern among mental health professionals in Ireland and abroad. “Any responsible discussion about AI and mental health must be clear that these tools are not clinicians” she says. The consultant psychiatrist says the increased use of ChatGPT for therapeutic reasons is a “a wake-up call for services – health services, social services and mental health services – to provide better and proper information in a very clear and responsive way”.
