    Barbie doll Pixee Fox has gone to extreme measures to trim her waist down to a tiny 16 inches and she still doesn’t think it’s small enough. But she’s in for a shock when she finds out what her tummy shrinking corset is doing to her insides. Pixee stunned the audience when she appeared on Dr. Oz wearing a tiny 16 inch corset and shocks the audience even more when she reveals she plans to go down to a 14 inch corset. It doesn’t bother me at all, I’m used to wearing it, she says when Dr. Oz asks if it’s comfortable. But a worried Dr. OZ replies: “I’m concerned this is more of a gateway drug - you are doing things to yourself that are irreversible."

    SWIFT, the global financial messaging network that banks use to move billions of dollars every day, warned on Thursday of a second malware attack similar to the one that led to February's $81 million cyberheist at the Bangladesh central bank. The second case targeted a commercial bank, SWIFT spokeswoman Natasha de Teran said, without naming it. SWIFT said in a statement that the attackers exhibited a "deep and sophisticated knowledge of specific operational controls" at targeted banks and may have been aided by "malicious insiders or cyber attacks, or a combination of both." The organization, a Belgian co-operative owned by member banks, said that forensic experts believe the second case showed that the Bangladesh heist "was not a single occurrence, but part of a wider and...

    When a leak causes the downfall of one Prime Minister and forces another to publish his tax returns - quickly followed by a clutch of his counterparts doing the same - it's safe to say we are in the middle of more than a typical media frenzy. The political repercussions from the publication of the Panama Papers are being felt from Iceland to Downing Street and from China to Argentina. Here in the UK, it is now hard to see how anyone running for high office will in future be able to avoid full transparency over their tax affairs. Tighter restrictions on the way wealthy individuals move money across borders to reduce their tax burden seem inevitable. But, while we may be transfixed by the temporary discomfort felt by David Cameron and a host of other high-profile individuals...

The files were leaked from one of the world's most secretive companies, a Panamanian law firm called Mossack Fonseca. What are the Panama Papers? The files show how Mossack Fonseca clients were able to launder money, dodge sanctions and avoid tax. In one case, the company offered an American millionaire fake ownership records to hide money from the authorities. This is in direct breach of international regulations designed to stop money laundering and tax evasion. Who is in the papers? There are links to 12 current or former heads of state in the data, including dictators accused of looting their own countries. More than 60 relatives and associates of heads of stat...

    Scott Corfe, director at the Centre for Business and Economic Research, says Yes. Most of the house price growth seen in the UK over the past couple of years has been fundamentals-driven. Supply of new homes simply hasn’t caught up with demand. However, one does wonder if we are now veering into bubble territory particularly in London. The collapse in the amount of property being put on the market, which stands at historically low levels according to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, is leading to distorted prices. Buyers are paying over and above what fundamentals suggest, desperate to buy anything that is put up for sale and that they can (just about) afford. Fears of supply shortages and rising prices are creating a self-fulfilling bubble in some places. Londo...
