Duchess of Sussex leaves UK without Prince Harry

    The Duchess of Sussex has flown back to Canada as Prince Harry remains in the UK amid a fallout over the couple’s move to resign as senior royals. Meghan returned to North America on Thursday to be with her eight-month-old son Archie, a spokeswoman for the Duchess of Sussex confirmed. She hadn’t planned to stay in the UK for long after arriving in Britain on Monday ahead of the bombshell announcement, sources told the Daily Mail. It comes after the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duke of Cambridge were said to have ordered their teams to find a workable solution over Harry and Meghan's future amid four-way talks to head off a royal crisis. Buckingham Palace revealed they would work at pace to find an outcome for Harry and Meghan in a matter of days, not weeks. Roya...

Sex workers prosecuted for keeping each other safe

    Two sex workers who were dragged through the courts for sharing a workplace just to keep each other safe are celebrating after charges against them were dropped. The extraordinary climbdown saw the Crown Prosecution Service accused of trying to extort cash from the pair by forcing them to hand over their earnings. The English Collective of Prostitutes (ECP), a campaign group that fought their side, has said the Crown’s decision to abandon proceedings strengthens the case to decriminalise prostitution altogether. It came after thousands of people wrote to the CPS in outrage that the women were being prosecuted instead of protected. One of the pair, named only as Ms O, said: They said I was a criminal but I am a good mother working to make sure my child has a better...

Half of British women have poor sexual health

    Almost half of women in Britain have poor sexual health almost three times the rate in men researchers have said. Women’s sexual problems have been found to be more varied than those experienced by men. Nearly a third of all women were found to experience difficulties rooted in a lack of interest in sex a problem associated with distress and dissatisfaction with their sex life. Dr Alison Parkes of the University of Glasgow, a co-author of the research, said: “We think [the wider range of problems in women] may boil down to women’s general lesser agency when it comes to negotiating more pleasurable as well as safer sex with their partners.” While 83% of men were deemed to be in fine sexual fettle, 48% of women had poor sexual health. The team said the figures highli...

US officials believe Ukrainian airliner shot down

    US officials say it's highly likely Iran shot down a Ukrainian airliner that crashed in Iran, killing all 176 people on board. Donald Trump has said he had a terrible feeling that it may have been shot by mistake. US officials told various local media and news agencies on Thursday that they believed a Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed near Tehran on Wednesday morning was likely brought down accidentally by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile. Speaking to reporters at the White House, US President Donald Trump said he had suspicions that somebody could have made a mistake, without going into detail. Some people say it was mechanical. I personally don't think that's even a question, Trump said, adding that something very terrible happened. All 176 people on board ...

Seven theories about what caused Iran plane crash

    The two black boxes, which record cockpit conversations and flight data, have been recovered following the crash of a Ukrainian passenger aircraft shortly after taking off in Tehran. There has been speculation that the three-year-old plane, in which all 176 people on board were killed including three Britons, could have been downed by a missile, similar to what happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine in July 2014. As Ukrainian envoys work at the crash site outside Tehran, what could be some of the possible causes of Wednesday's disaster? Tony Cable is a former senior inspector at the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) and offers some potential theories. He told Sky News: "I've seen a few photos of the crash site. The wreckage shows a high ...

Transport for London confirms fresh delays to Crossrail opening

    The opening of London's Crossrail project has been delayed once again as the completion date was pushed back another six months to late 2021. Transport for London confirmed today that the central London section would not open until Autumn 2021 at the earliest, meaning the whole project will be three years behind schedule. The project, Europe's biggest ongoing infrastructure scheme, has been cursed with delays and is now estimated to cost more than £18billion. TfL commissioner Mike Brown told the London Assembly today that more time was needed to test trains before the scheme, to be called the Elizabeth line, could open. Once up and running, the line will run from Reading and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. Stage 4 of the scheme, in w...

US in show of strength with dozens of stealth fighters

    The U.S. Air Force has performed a huge show of strength by launching more than 50 fully-armed Lightning II stealth fighters in a single wave following an elephant walk down the runway. The 52 F-35A aircrafts, which are worth a whopping $4.2 billion, took off in quick succession from the Hill Air Force Base in Utah on Monday. The exercise carried out by the active duty 388th and Reserve 419th Fighter Wings showed the Air Force's ability to deploy a large force of the F-35As. While the exercise has been planned for several months, the execution of it came in the same week the U.S. continues to brace for Iran to respond to the drone strike killing of its most powerful general in Iraq. The Fighter Wings revealed on Monday that the F-35As have now finally reached full...

Iranian MP threatens to attack the White House

    Abolfazl Abutorabi has reportedly threatened to attack the White House in response to a message from President Trump that promised severe consequences if the Islamic nation escalates hostilities with the U.S. Abutorabi was responding to a question about how Iran should react to the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani during an American airstrike, The Independent reported. This comes as President Trump vowed to hit Iran hard should the country retaliate against the U.S. for Soleimani's death. Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recentl...

Labour could argue to rejoin EU

    The Labour leadership contender Jess Phillips has said she would be prepared to argue for Britain to re-enter the European Union at the next general election, opening a divide with the shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer, who has insisted Labour must move on. Boris Johnson’s Brexit bill cleared its first parliamentary hurdle before Christmas, and the prime minister is expected to use his comfortable majority to carry it through parliament in time for Britain to leave the EU at the end of this month. When Phillips, who came third to Starmer in an early poll of Labour members last week, was asked on the BBC One’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday whether Labour should become the party of rejoining the EU, she declined to rule it out. You would have to look at what is going...
