6 ways your phone is ruining your relationship

    6 sneaky ways your phone is ruining your relationship It's no question that smartphones can inadvertently cause conflicts in a relationship. Most people (me) have gotten mad at a text that was sent too late, or contained a dramatic full stop at the end of what was supposed to be a casual hey. Some (also me) have even fought over it, only to come to the eventual grim realisation that you've spent 45 minutes seriously dissecting the meaning of a lone :). Clearly, the phone itself isn't forcing anyone to scroll through Instagram while they're watching TV with their partner. But it does seem to create unique problems that would not have existed even 15 years ago. And, because most people do use their phones every day, it's easy for these subtle conflicts to slip under the crac...

Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton come to Malia Obama’s defense

    This week, conservative media outlets and tabloids have been circulating and reporting on videos that they claim show Malia Obama former president Barack Obama's oldest daughter who is a student at Harvard kissing a young man before a football game and blowing smoke rings. Typically, the media refrains from reporting on the personal lives of the children of presidents and former presidents, allowing them to have some privacy. Ivanka Trump listens at the beginning of a policy and strategy forum with executives in the State Dining Room of the White House February 3, 2017 in Washington, DC. This reporting caught the attention of President Trump's oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, and Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former president Bill Clinton and former Democratic presidentia...

Australia attacks UK EU Brexit plan to share quotas for cheap food imports

    The UK and European Union’s plans to share out quotas for cheap food imports from countries around the world after Brexit have come under fire from Australia. Restrictions on how many products can be imported into the EU on favourable rates are set across the bloc and concerns have been raised internationally that exporters could take a financial hit when the UK quits. The Government has agreed with Brussels to divide up the numbers of goods that can be brought in on low or zero tariffs based roughly on current rates. It would mean products imported into the UK in higher numbers than other parts of the bloc would continue to be traded in similar numbers. Steven Ciobo Australian trade minister Steven Ciobo said the move would impose unacceptable restrictions on nat...

EU Gives Theresa May 10 Day Deadline Over Brexit Concessions

    Theresa May has been given 10 days to offer further concessions on issues including the Brexit divorce bill and the complex matter of the Northern Irish border if she wants European Union leaders to agree to trade talks, reports the Press Association. The Prime Minister hopes a crunch summit in Brussels next month will give the green light to move on to the next stage of the Brexit process, covering future trading arrangements and a possible implementation period to avoid a cliff-edge for businesses. Talks on trade will not be allowed to begin until European Union leaders are satisfied that sufficient progress has been made on the first round of issues being discussed including the divorce bill the UK will pay to Brussels and the Northern Irish border. After talks with the...

Two men interviewed as Oxford Circus terror scare investigation continues

    Two men have been interviewed by police in connection with yesterday's terror scare at Oxford Circus Underground station, which caused mass panic. The men, aged 21 and 40, voluntarily attended police stations after British Transport Police (BTP) circulated their images on CCTV footage and appealed for them to come forward with information. BTP have said the investigation into what actually prompted the mass evacuation from Oxford Circus is continuing. Later last night, they postulated that an altercation on a station platform might have raised the alarm. The emergency services received numerous 999 calls just before 5pm yesterday, reporting gunfire. Armed police attended the scene and were treating the incident as if it was terrorism-related. But police later said that the...
