Queen’s ill health may prevent her from attending church again

    The Queen's ill health may again prevent her from attending church on Sunday. The monarch has stayed out of the public eye since Christmas after being struck down with a heavy cold. Buckingham Palace was unable to confirm whether the 90-year-old would be attending the Sunday service at Sandringham and refused to comment on Princess Anne’s assurances on New Year’s Day that the Queen was feeling better. Speculation as to whether the Queen is well enough to resume her usual routine remains just that, as palace officials said her appearance will be confirmed after 9.30am on Sunday. Queen Elizabeth broke protocol for the first time in her almost 64-year reign when she decided not to attend both her traditional Christmas and New Year's church services. She was struck down by a n...

Lingering hacking cough is sweeping the nation what can you do about it

    Hundreds of thousands of people across the country have been struck down by a persistent hacking cough this winter. But doctors say that the lingering illness that lasts for up to three weeks can't be treated with antibiotics, with sufferers urged to just rest and get plenty of food and fluids. With A&E departments groaning under the pressure of extra patients coming through their doors, doctors are now stressing to the public that there’s virtually nothing they can do to help as antibiotics have no effect on these viruses. Dr Anna Kuczynska todl Wales Online: We know there is a particularly nasty, persistent cough in the community that lasts a number of weeks and is leading a lot of people to attend their GP surgery. Unfortunately, in most cases, unless the patient ha...

Theresa May’s ditching Cameron’s big society for the shared society

    Theresa May is ditching the big society agenda of her predecessor David Cameron, instead vowing to tackle "everyday injustices" and build a shared society for everyone. The Prime Minister will lay out plans for social reform in a speech on Monday, to build a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. The shared society is one that doesn’t just value our individual rights but focuses rather more on the responsibilities we have to one another. It’s a society that respects the bonds that we share as a union of people and nations, she is expected to say. The plans signal a break with previous Conservative leaders, including Cameron's Big Society platform of the 2010 election. May will seek to address voters who feel government is not working for them and the...

The Size Of This Body Part Is Linked To Your Death

    What does the size of your arm say about you, other than how much you can bench? Maybe whether you will survive heart disease. A study in the American Journal of Cardiology looked at the upper arms of almost 600 older adults with cardiovascular disease and found a link between their circumferences the distances around them and survival rates. The researchers took measurements of the mid-upper arm and calf circumferences, two numbers which are used to help determine muscle mass, and studied the patients’ muscle function through their gait speed and grip strength. During a period of follow-up averaging about a year and a half, 72 of the adults, who were all at least 65 years old, had died, but those with higher circumferences had better outcomes. Although the raw data sugges...

US intelligence report: Vladimir Putin worked to get Donald Trump elected

    The report found that a multifaceted Russian campaign, going beyond the high-profile data breaches, included state-owned media and social media campaigns. Russian president Vladimir Putin interfered in the US presidential election to aid Donald Trump, according to a declassified assessment by the NSA, CIA and FBI. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump, the agencies found in a long-awaited report that stands to hang over the head of the incoming Trump administration.

Most Westerners think we’re close to World War III

    World War Three is just around the corner and the planet is teetering on the brink of all-out conflict according to people in major Western nations, at least. A new poll shows the public are somewhat gloomy about the future, fearing a “worldwide conflict” is looming. With superpowers backing different sides in the bloody conflict in Syria, Isis continuing to fight in the Middle East, a spate of terrorist attacks across the globe and Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump both talking a tough game, the YouGov survey of 9,000 people across nine countries found popular opinion thinks world peace has rarely been further away. People in the US were most likely to predict a world war, while French, German and British people were also pessimistic. Some 64 per cent of Americans think the...
