According to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the name was inspired by the howling of hungry wolves as they prowled for food during midwinter months. The Wolf Moon supermoon rises tonight. Here are six reasons you should see it 🌕🔭 https://t.co/bhqHsBCuI1 — Stonehenge U.K (@ST0NEHENGE) January 2, 2026The Wolf Moon will be at its fullest at around 10am on Saturday, the observatory states on its website. Met Office meteorologist Simon Partridge said conditions should be clear for Saturday morning, meaning the supermoon will be “visible for most people”. He added: “So south-west England, west Wales and Northern Ireland will have a fair bit of cloud around, because they’ll be seeing some wintry showers.

Yellow warnings are now in place for parts of the UK, including much of Northern Ireland, until midday on Monday. “Bitterly cold conditions will persist through the weekend and into next week, with daytime temperatures struggling to rise above freezing for some, and overnight lows dipping to minus double figures in places. The amber cold health alert means that the weather is expected to have severe impacts across health and social care services. Meanwhile, the British Heart Foundation said cold weather can present specific risks for people with heart conditions because the heart has to work harder which can exacerbate existing health conditions. “It’s especially important that people living with heart conditions are well prepared for the cold snap this winter by wrapping up warm and having their free flu jab.”

The government has defended its approach to reforming legislation to deal with the legacy of the Troubles, after criticism from its own Northern Ireland veterans commissioner. David Johnstone said that the government’s proposed legislation treats veterans “worse than terrorists”. A commission to investigate Troubles-related killings and a separate information recovery body will be established under the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill. Labour’s Bill, agreed as part of a framework with the Irish Government, will put in place a reformed Legacy Commission with enhanced powers. “The Troubles Bill will put in place six new and effective protections for our veterans.

“Although we often spoke about the de Valera Forest, we weren’t actually able to get in here for many years because of overgrowth.

Cork-born Laurence Elyan, a former actor and Irish civil servant who emigrated to Israel, provided the commentary of the ceremony on Radio Israel. He wrote: "The name of Éamon de Valera is not only enshrined for all time on the tables of Irish independence. Mr Aiken called for Israel to withdraw to its border before the war as part of a UN-guaranteed peace settlement.

‌England Under-21 winger Esse starred in the second tier with Millwall, earning him a £14.5million move to Crystal Palace last January. Things haven't been quite as straightforward for him at Selhurst Park, though, and he has played just twice in the league this season. However, talks have been opened and Lampard is said to be hopeful of wrapping things up sooner rather than later. ‌Coventry sit eight points at the top in the Championship, having lost just three of their 25 league games so far. I don't think any team in this league goes win, win, win and carries on like that."

Seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams has received a wild-card entry for the Australian Open, beginning January 18, in Melbourne. The tournament said that the 45-year-old Williams would make a return to Melbourne Park 28 years after her first appearance. Venus had announced in November that she would play in Auckland, New Zealand, where she also received a wild card, two weeks before the Australian Open. The Australian Open said Williams was also entered to play a tournament in Hobart, Australia a week later and just before play begins at Melbourne Park. “I’m excited to be back in Australia and looking forward to competing during the Australian summer,” Williams said.

Twins Shane and Niall Scully celebrated their 40th birthday together with a splash at the New Year’s sea swim. Irene Milner, President of the Bray Lions Club, looked relieved that the high tides earlier in the week hadn’t forced a cancellation. Before leaving the Martello, Jess and Fabio offered me some of their Marzipan pig—a New Year’s tradition they said brings “luck”.

The size of your head could determine if you'll be diagnosed with dementia later in life. The study participants were taken from The Nun Study, which started in 1991 and includes 678 Catholic nuns from seven cities across the US. Scientists believe a larger head circumference, which also indicates a bigger brain, provides a 'cognitive reserve' of extra brain cells and connections. When brain cells become damaged with age, a larger brain is able to withstand it easier than a smaller brain. Prenatal factors such as a mother's nutrition, weight and history of substance abuse may influence head size, and exposure to environmental toxins like lead may stall growth.

Liverpool's Harvey Elliott offered shock solution to transfer dilemma amid Aston Villa woesHarvey Elliott has endured a horror loan spell at Aston Villa since leaving Liverpool, barely featuring under Unai Emery, and a move to the MLS could now be on offerView 2 Images Harvey Elliott has barely played since joining Aston Villa in the summer (Image: Stu Forster/Getty Images)MLS side Charlotte FC are ready to offer Harvey Elliott an escape from his Aston Villa loan nightmare as they make moves to bring the England U21 star across the Atlantic.

Having featured for Liverpool and Villa this term the playmaker cannot play for another team this season in Europe. ‌That has opened the door to a move to America with the Daily Mail reporting that Charlotte FC have secured the discovery rights for the England U21 international.

How the fragility of Ireland’s postal infrastructure was exposed last yearCourier failures, new tariffs and a stretched system revealed just how vulnerable to shocks our infrastructure isAn Post has grappled with sustained pressure on its parcel network this year. Photo: GettyRory McGinn Today at 06:30For most people in Ireland, the postal system has always been something you only notice when it works: a birthday card arrives, a parcel lands on the doorstep, a return is dropped into a post office and quietly disappears into the system.

Last year saw the highest number of cyclists killed since 2017, when 15 cyclists died on the roads. Since 2000, only two other years, 2002 (18) and 2007 (15), have seen more cyclist road deaths. “We are deeply concerned by the increase in fatalities, particularly among our most vulnerable road users, cyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists. “Six hundred people took alcohol or took drugs and still got behind the wheel of a car, putting themselves, and possibly their passengers and all other road users, at risk. “As we start a new year, I would urge everyone to resolve to have a greater focus on road safety, so we can prevent collisions and save lives.
