Vitamin pills don’t make you healthier

    Most of the popular vitamin and mineral supplements people take do not boost health, a major study says. Some could even increase the risk of death, scientists claim. Their research concludes only folic acid is proven to reduce risks of heart disease or stroke. They looked at five years of reviews of the most common supplements taken, incl­uding vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6, B9 (folic acid), C, D and E. Multivitamins , vitamin C and D and calcium showed no advantage or added risk in prevention of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes or early death. But B3 and antioxidants showed a very small increased risk of death from any cause. Lead author Dr David Jenkins, University of Toronto, said: We were surprised to find so few positive effects of the mo...

Thunderstorms and heavy rain batters over UK

    Cars were submerged and railway lines blocked as flash flooding hit swathes of Kent during a huge thunderstorm today. The south-east of England was hit by spectacular lightning and torrential downpours throughout Tuesday afternoon. Gravesend, Meopham, Strood and Doddington were particularly badly hit with images showing cars submerged and rainwater as high as the windows of some homes. The flash floods have affected Southeastern rail services with Network Rail tweeting an image of a level crossing at Gillingham partly under water. There was disruption on the Gillingham line, there were no Kent bound services on the Maidstone East line from Lenham and trains along the Medway Valley route were also suspended. Lines were reopened but Network Rail has warned passeng...

Trump Says Kim Sending Right Hand Man to U.S. for Summit Talks

    North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has dispatched one of his top aides to New York for talks ahead of his planned summit with Donald Trump next month, the U.S. president said on Twitter. Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more, Trump said in a Twitter posting that misspelled the envoy’s name. Kim Young Chol, the Vice Chairman of North Korea, heading now to New York. Solid response to my letter, thank you! The veteran official’s trip is another sign that preparations for the on-again, off-again June 12 meeting in Singapore are moving forward. Just three days after Trump abruptly called off the unprecedented meeting in a letter to the North Korean leader, the president appeared to confirm the talks were back on. Kim Yong Chol accompanied Kim Jong...

Paris spider man saved 4 years old boy life after dangling from balcony

    The father of a child saved by a Mali immigrant as he dangled from balcony in Paris was “playing Pokemon Go” during his son’s dramatic rescue. Mamoudou Gassana has been awarded for his bravery with papers to legalise his stay in France after scaling five floors on the outside of the building to grab the four-year-old boy. French Prosecutor Francois Molins claimed the child’s father was playing the virtual reality smartphone game on his way back from the shops. He told BFM TV that the boy’s dad had left the flat just as the incident unfolded. The window had been left open and there was no safety grille to stop the child falling out, he added. He said: “The father left the flat just as the incident was unfolding. He went shopping and then decided to play Pokemon Go...

Obese staff allowed to start work later to avoid anxiety during rush hour

    Obese staff should be allowed to start work later to avoid anxiety during rush-hour, a government advisor recommends. Britain’s obesity problem is the worst in Western Europe with the number of people in England, Wales and Scotland diagnosed expected to double by 2035. In accordance with this rise, an employment expert has suggested that overweight employees should be offered flexible starts and should have the right to sue employers if they are not offered jobs or promotions because of their weight. Speaking at the European Congress on Obesity in Vienna, Professor Stephan Bevan, of the Institute for Employment Studies, said letting obese staff who feel anxious about travelling on public transport arrive an hour later, or work from home, would help their mental hea...

Pay as you recycling scheme being planned by councils

    A new pay-as-you-throw recycling scheme being planned by councils will cost homeowners as much as £50 extra per year unless food packaging is overhauled, waste experts have warned. The controversial pay-as-you-throw collection scheme, proposed by council chiefs, is designed to encourage people to recycle more by charging them for the weight of the general waste they put out. But according to one of Britain's biggest waste collection companies the move could leave millions of families worse off unless food manufacturers are forced to improve the recyclability of packaging. Today Suez is calling for the Government to force food manufacturers to make all packaging sold in the UK at least 50 per cent recyclable by 2025. At present less than 10 per cent of packaging is...

May under pressure to change the law on abortion in Britain after yes won to Northern Ireland

    Theresa May is under increasing pressure to change the law on abortion in Northern Ireland after scores of her own… Theresa May is under increasing pressure to change the law on abortion in Northern Ireland after scores of her own ministers called on her to back a vote on the issue. Anne Milton, the skills minister and former deputy chief whip, became the latest to back a free vote in the House of Commons after Ireland voted to allow women access to abortions this weekend. Other ministers have called for a referendum, but the Prime Minister is in a difficult position because any change in the law would be strongly opposed by the DUP, the party on which she relies for her Commons majority. Arlene Foster, the DUP leader, warned the decision will be for Northern Irela...

Teacher corrects many silly mistakes of Trump letter and sent back to White House

    In 17 years of teaching English composition in South Carolina public schools, Yvonne Mason had seen these blunders many times before. Redundancies. Faulty capitalization. Lack of clarity and specificity. But Mason wasn't grading a student paper. She was reading a letter she received from President Donald Trump. I have never, ever, received a letter with this many silly mistakes, Mason said. The former Mauldin High School teacher promptly did what she had done thousands of times before: She corrected the writing and returned it, this one going back to the White House. Mason recognizes, of course, that the form letter she received from the president was very likely written by a staff member, not Trump, though the letter does include Trump's signature. It came in re...

Savita Halappanavar may named of Ireland’s abortion law

    Savita Halappanavar, whose father has called for legislation that will follow Saturday’s historic referendum result to be referred to… Campaigners for abortion reform in Ireland have said they will support a move to have a new law named after Savita Halappanavar, who died after being denied a termination in 2012. Halappanavar’s father has called for the legislation that will follow the historic referendum result to be referred to as Savita’s law. We have one last request, that the new law, that it is called Savita’s law. It should be named for her, Andanappa Yalagi told the Irish Times. At a press conference in Dublin on Sunday, Together for Yes, an umbrella group representing pro-repeal organisations, said it would support such a move. It also called on the govern...
