Fresh woe for Eugenie and Beatrice as 'emotionally drained' princesses ponder how to react to new Andrew revelations
Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice are facing a new woe today as they ponder how to react to the latest revelations from the Epstein files about their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. It was suggested this week that the pair are 'emotionally drained' by the slow-rolling scandal embroiling both their father, Andrew, 65, and mother, Sarah Ferguson, 66. She invited Andrew to the christening of her 11-month-old daughter Athena in London last month, which Eugenie also attended. Beatrice recently visited her father in Windsor and even accompanied him on a horse ride with her four-year-old daughter Sienna. There are also new emails relating to Sarah, formerly the Duchess of York, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - including pictures of them from Andrew's electronic Christmas cards.

Common sleeping habit has left me with unsightly 'toasted skin syndrome'... a warning to others
A woman partaking in a common bedtime habit is now revealing the shocking consequences that have left millions stunned and sparked a major health warning from doctors. While Meagan insisted the condition was ‘fine,’ an outpouring of comments quickly identified the marks as ‘toasted skin syndrome’ and expressed significant alarm at her nonchalance. Medically known as Erythema Ab Igne (EAI), toasted skin syndrome is a skin reaction caused by prolonged and repeated exposure to low-level heat, ranging from 107 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. People most at risk of developing toasted skin syndrome are those who use heating pads often for chronic pain, use space heaters at their desks daily and those who place laptops on their skin for extended periods. Seeking evaluation from a dermatologist is essential for anyone with a suspected toasted skin syndrome rash.

I spent a decade as 'a brainwashed climate activist'... my awakening came after two life-changing experiences
A former activist who says she was 'brainwashed' by climate change ideology has come out to warn others against what she calls a science which simply isn't true. Climate change is the term used to describe Earth's warming, mainly as a result of human activity, such as burning coal, oil, and gas. Join the debate How do you feel about climate activists who now claim the science behind their cause is misleading? Moreover, Lindzen said today's CO₂ levels need even more help to boost plant growth, which would reduce their need for water, making more food possible for billions of people in more arid regions. She claimed that teaching climate change in this way has led to a mental health crisis among youths, causing them to feel nihilistic about their futures, avoid having children, and viewing modern society as doomed.

Premier League wrap: Chelsea complete remarkable comeback victory over shellshocked West Ham
Three half-time changes did the trick to save Chelsea, with Wesley Fofana crossing for Joao Pedro to pull one back before Marc Cucurella’s header levelled things. Jean-Clair Todibo was dismissed as tempers boiled over in added time – a wild end to a thrilling game. After a fine covering tackle from Joe Rodon to deny Gyokeres, Leeds enjoyed another spell of possession and a fervent home crowd did their best to help them build some momentum. Bournemouth had to work hard for their third league victory in four which compounded basement side Wolves to a first home defeat in 2026. Everton move on to 34 points courtesy of the late drama, while Brighton remain three points below following a solitary victory from their last 11 league fixtures.

The collapse took place on Wednesday at the Rubaya mines, which are controlled by the M23 rebels, Lumumba Kambere Muyisa, the spokesperson of the rebel-appointed governor of North-Kivu province told the Associated Press. “For now, there are more than 200 dead, some of whom are still in the mud and have not yet been recovered,” Mr Muyisa said. In May 2024, M23 seized the town and took control of it mines. According to a UN report, since seizing Rubaya, the rebels have imposed taxes on the trade and transport of coltan, generating at least $800,000 (€675,000) a month.
