Retired teacher, 60, is embroiled in bitter row with neighbour 'who stole 1.1 metres of her garden' - ripping up her decking and eating into her hot tub
A retired teacher is embroiled in a bitter row with her neighbour who she claims 'stole 1.1 metres of her garden' and ripped up her decking around her hot tub. She alleges he tore down her fence, ripped up the decking around her hot tub and erected his own fence in her garden. This nightmare has been raging on for nearly two years now, all beginning with a letter from the Land Registry in April 2024. From there, she installed the new deck surrounding the hot tub, working tirelessly from February to June last year. He sawed about a metre off my garden at a slope and taken five wooden planks from the hot tub surround.

Australia has been advised to tighten border measures for travellers arriving from India's West Bengal after a Nipah virus outbreak prompted several Asian countries to introduce new precautions.

The Champions League format is obviously flawed despite its final-day drama - here is a sure-fire way to improve it, writes LEWIS STEELE
If Real Madrid equalised, Pep Guardiola’s side would be demoted from the promised land of the top eight. For the mighty Real Madrid, who with 15 titles are European kings, the play-off was an epic punishment. And whisper it quietly, where but the so-called Swiss format of Champions League do we see such all-or-nothing events that can change the entire league table? After all, the final day of the old format was pretty dull save for a couple of ties. Benfica’s prize for beating Real Madrid was a play-off against… well, potentially Real Madrid again.

Ireland needs a better strategy than ‘hope’ when it comes to flood prevention – The Irish Times
In the past 30 years in Ireland, there has been a 7 per cent increase in rainfall. We certainly would not.”Concrete is at the centre of the Irish flooding dilemma, underlined starkly by this week’s Storm Chandra, but it is not the solution. The National Roads Association was surprised at that time by the flooding of the M4 in Kildare, near Maynooth. It highlights the merits of a “scaling-out” of nature-based solutions to complement engineering and technical solutions. They cite one example of the extension of the Luas line being accompanied by embedding street trees in extensive pits to lessen the effect of storm water on the line.

Eurozone economy beats estimates in defiance of Trump's trade turmoil
The euro-area economy grew more than expected at the end of last year, demonstrating resilience to the trade turmoil unleashed by Donald Trump. Germany, Italy and Spain all surpassed estimates, with the latter proving the stand-out performer once again through expansion of 0.8%. Indeed, other parts of the bloc also recorded growth: GDP was up by 0.5% in the Netherlands, 0.2% in Austria, 0.8% in Portugal and 1.7% in Lithuania. While Italy saw trade act as a drag on its economy, that was more than offset by domestic demand, resulting in expansion of 0.3%. For 2025, GDP rose 0.9% — matching the pace the government was banking on in its budget plans.

Diary of a Gen Z Student: No shame in menstruation. Period
Sometimes, I think about how certain things in life must be just so simple for men. And this isn’t some jealousy born from period shame or anything like that, just to clarify. And I’ll keep everyone in my life up to date on the details of my menstrual cycle. And, as has been the case every month for nearly the past decade of my life, everything made sense again. I’m not ashamed of my menstrual cycle, I’m bloody fed up with it.
