Chilling CCTV footage revealed the moment the victim was targetedKNIFE ATTACK Man stabs best friend 20 times over £20 debt in horror attack… but victim says ‘betrayal cuts deeper than wounds’A MAN stabbed his best friend 20 times in a frenzied attack over a £20 debt. Qusai Abdalla knifed his victim, a man in his 40s, in the head, chest and arm during the horror on September 29, last year. The callous 26-year-old later told the same associate he carried out the stabbing over an unpaid £20 debt, said Lancashire Police. Appearing at Preston Crown Court today, the victim said the "betrayal has cut even deeper than the physical wounds" because he thought Abdalla was a friend. Det Con Emily Armitage said: "This was a cowardly attack which could have easily resulted in a man losing his life... all over a £20 debt.

Netanyahu ignored this and other warnings, and his government went ahead with the overhaul, passing a law hours later that limited the judiciary’s power, setting off more unrest. Minutes after the attack began in October 2023, at the nadir of his political career, Netanyahu was already planting the seeds for his personal survival act. “I don’t see anything in the intelligence,” Netanyahu said in one of his first phone calls that day. As fighting still flared in southern Israel, Netanyahu’s team then briefed sympathetic influencers, telling them that it was the generals who were at fault for Israel’s worst-ever defense failure. Later in the war, Netanyahu’s team ordered archivists to alter the official records of his earliest phone calls on Oct. 7.

At least 13 postal workers in Britain died by suicide amid a post office scandal in which about 1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, according to a report released this week as part of an inquiry into the scandal. Wyn Williams, the retired high court judge who is leading the inquiry, wrote in the report, published on Tuesday, that by his estimation, more than 10,000 people were eligible for some kind of redress and that he expected that number to grow. The victims range from postal workers held liable for tens or hundreds of pounds in financial discrepancies to those who were wrongly tried, convicted, imprisoned and made to pay back tens of thousands of pounds. They were all blamed for apparent shortfalls at their postal branches across Britain that, it turned out, had actually been caused by a flawed information technology system. More than 1,000 people were prosecuted from 2000 to at least 2013, but thousands of others were blamed and held responsible, according to the report.

“With overheating, it’s a simple heat balance problem,” Dr Roberts explains. The last thing you want to do is bring in hot air. But it’s exactly what we need to do – ideally paired with an open upstairs window to create a ‘stack effect’ where cool air flows in and warm air rises out. “Heat can cause short-term issues like dehydration or heatstroke, but also long-term health problems,” warns Dr Roberts. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utXEby2-jac The worst thing you can do to your home on a hot day (are you guilty of this?

THE Church Commissioners risk attracting “widespread public contempt” if they proceed with Project Spire, a group of historians and General Synod members has warned (News,13 January 2023). The project is a £100-million fund set up to benefit communities affected by the historic transatlantic slave trade. The paper contains a detailed response to the points made in a document published by the Commissioners in May, Independent Responses to Claims Criticising the Historical Basis of the Church Commissioners’ Research (News, 6 June). The proposal addresses present and future: the Church Commissioners are creating the Fund for Healing, Repair and Justice, committing under one per cent of its assets to the work of repairing that racialised injustice in the world today which derived from Transatlantic Chattel Enslavement. It is understood that five written questions about the project have been submitted by General Synod members.

Following a protest at News UK’s offices in London and Glasgow and at its print site in Merseyside, Fed national president Hetal Patel was invited to talks. Discussions have commenced following protests over retail marginsNews UK has entered into talks with The Federation of Independent Retailers, following its national protests this week at the publishers offices. During the 45-minute meeting, the Fed explained the impact that the move would have on members’ viability and the knock-on effect on local communities. Throughout the meeting, we appealed to News UK to think again and to reverse its decision to cut our percentage retail margin. However, the new retail margin paid for each copy sold will not take effect until January 2026 and, even then, will drop 1 per cent.

Donald Trump has been vindicated after The New York Times accused him of pushing a false conspiracy theory about a migrant gang taking over a Colorado apartment building... only for the paper to now admit those same claims were true. One article published last September scolded Trump for his 'false' claims that Aurora was overrun with Tren de Aragua goons. In September, shortly after Trump railed against the issue in his debate against Kamala Harris, the Times shared a story headlined: 'How the False Story of a Gang ‘Takeover’ in Colorado Reached Trump.' 'After all, he had helped create the tall tale now sullying his city’s reputation,' the Times wrote. The footage went viral, and Romero - a self-described 'lifelong Democrat' - joined Trump on stage as she said her city had become overwhelmed.

Recently, an alternative walking protocol – colloquially termed “Japanese walking” due to its country of origin – has stepped into the spotlight online. So, intrigued, I endeavoured to try “Japanese walking” and find out if the impressive health claims around it held water. Another area where the Japanese walking method loses out to walking 10,000 steps per day is movement regularity.
