Russia is preparing to search for a nuclear-powered missile

    A nuclear-powered Russian missile remains lost at sea after a failed test late last year, and Moscow is preparing to try to recover it, according to people with direct knowledge of a U.S. intelligence report. Crews will attempt to recover a missile that was test launched in November and landed in the Barents Sea, which is located north of Norway and Russia. The operation will include three vessels, one of which is equipped to handle radioactive material from the weapon's nuclear core. There is no timeline for the mission, according to the people with knowledge of the report.

Continuous talks in bid for Brexit breakthrough

    Britain will hold continuous negotiations with the EU from now on in a bid to achieve a breakthrough in Brexit talks. Following a meeting with Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab in Brussels on Tuesday, the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier revealed discussions are now entering the final stage. We have agreed the EU and the UK will negotiate continuously from now on and Dominic and I will meet regularly to take stock and move the negotiations forward, he said. Mr Barnier paved the way for negotiations to yet extend beyond the next formal European Council summit on 18 October, which had previously been viewed as a deadline for striking a deal. He said a UK divorce agreement and political declaration on the future UK-EU partnership was needed "well before the end of th...

The healthiest and least healthy types of salad greens

    Though there are plenty of mouth-watering lettuce-free salads like panzanella or caprese that we'll gladly devour if placed before us, when it comes time to build our own, the first thing that most of us reach for is some sort of leafy green foundation to pile high with other ingredients like fruits, croutons, proteins and, yes, vegetables. But not all salad greens are created equally. When it comes to packing in the most nutrition and fewest calories into crisp fans, fronds and leaves, here's how some of the most popular lettuces shape up: Iceberg 10 calories per one cup serving; low in nutrients The star of one of the world's most frequently eaten salads - the iconic wedge - is also the butt of countless culinary jokes. That's because even when there's a whole...

20 percent smaller than 1970s as families typically squeeze into 700sq ft new builds

    British homes are now 20 per cent smaller than they were in the 1970s, with families typically squeezing into 700 sq ft new builds, research has found. The largest homes were built during the 1970s and have decreased in size every decade since then, reports the Times. A study using data from Rightmove and Zoopla, the biggest property portals in the UK, found that the typical properties have five per cent less space than those built since 2010. The average house across the UK has 2.95 bedrooms and a kitchen that is just 213 sq ft. The average living room is also 184 sq ft - a third smaller than in the 1970s. Kitchens have also shrunk by a quarter, down from 161 sq ft, and the average number of bedrooms fell from 3.53. The study by LABC Warranty, a warranty provide...

Windrush scandal: Government apologises to 18 members wrongfully removed or detained

    The home secretary is apologising to 18 members of the Windrush generation believed to have been wrongfully removed or detained. A Home Office review identified the group as having come to the UK from the Caribbean before 1973 and stayed permanently, but were unable to prove their continued residence in the country. Of the group of 18, the review found 11 left the UK voluntarily while the remaining seven were detained but subsequently released without being removed. The Home Office has so far contacted 14 of the 18, with those who are not currently in the UK being given the option to return and made aware of their possible right to compensation. Sajid Javid said: "The experiences faced by some members of the Windrush generation are completely unacceptable and I am...

A total solar eclipse captivated the nation

    A year ago, the Great American total solar eclipse evoked awe, wonder, and bewilderment as earth dwellers briefly had the chance to bask in the shadow of the moon. Close to two hundred million Americans viewed the spectacle in some way, including roughly fifteen million lucky folks who managed to squeeze themselves within the path of totality. Whether you’re now an umbraphile someone who chases eclipses or looking to see your first one, you’re in luck! Another total solar eclipse is just around the corner, in less than a year, but you’ll have to travel to South America. For the next eclipse in the Lower 48, mark your calendar for April 8, 2024. Solar eclipses occur someplace on earth on average every 18 months. They’re not terribly unusual. But over any given plac...

Chancellor forced to redraft plans for no deal Brexit

    Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond during visit to Bombardier factory in Belfast. Philip Hammond was forced to rewrite Treasury plans for a no-deal Brexit after they were likened to Project Fear, government sources claimed last night. Ministers are due to publish the first of 84 documents detailing contingency plans this week. However, two Government sources said that concerns were raised with Chancellor Mr Hammond over the tone of several Treasury reports. Sections on the current status of EU arrangements were too ‘upbeat’, while the consequences of leaving the EU without a deal were portrayed as ‘negative’. They have since been amended to ensure they are more factual, the sources told The Daily Telegraph. Treasury papers are thought to include analysis...

New Zealand minister cycles to hospital to give birth

    New Zealand’s minister for women has cycled herself to hospital to give birth to her first child. Julie Genter, 38, posted pictures of her beautiful Sunday morning ride to the hospital in Auckland with her partner. The Green Party politician said she opted to cycle because there wasn’t enough space in the car. She wrote: Beautiful Sunday morning for a bike ride, to the hospital, for an induction to finally have this baby. This is it, wish us luck My partner and I cycled because there wasn’t enough room in the car for the support crew but it also put me in the best possible mood. She added that the journey was mostly downhill and that she used an electric bike, but joked: Probably should have cycled more in the last few weeks to get the labour going. Ms Genter is...

EU migrants will get to stay in event of no deal Brexit

    EU migrants living in the UK will reportedly be given the right to remain in the country in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Leaked Cabinet papers seen by The Daily Telegraph reveal that ministers plan to take the moral high ground by unilaterally granting the 3.8 million EU nationals in the UK the right to stay. However the move was also said to reflect concerns of potential labour shortages in key sectors of the economy once Britain is outside the EU. The newspaper said the details would be set out in one of around 80 technical notes due to be published by the government, starting on Thursday. The papers aim to help inform the public and businesses what to do in the event of a no deal. It will mean EU citizens in the UK would be able to continue accessing the NHS...

Farage to kill PM’s fraudulent Brexit

    Nigel Farage has announced he will once again begin actively campaigning in British politics against Theresa May’s fraudulent Nigel Farage has announced he will once again begin actively campaigning in British politics against Theresa May’s fraudulent plans for Brexit. The ex-Ukip leader said it was necessary as a result of the deceit and treachery of politicians and senior figures in British society in their approach to EU withdrawal. In particular he singled out an exclusive report in The Independent on warnings from the British Medical Association that a no-deal Brexit would be a catastrophe for the NHS. It comes as The Independent also drives forward with its Final Say campaign for a new referendum on the outcome of Brexit with more than 650,000 people now havi...
