Theresa May Cabinet reshuffle to demote Boris Johnson

    Theresa May has suggested she would not shy away from demoting Boris Johnson amid reports she is preparing a Cabinet reshuffle. The Prime Minister has faced down a fresh call to resign in recent days, following a party conference speech plagued by a coughing fit, falling scenery and a prankster. In a bid to revitalise her administration, Mrs May is reportedly set to make changes to her top team following the European Council meeting on October 19-20. A Cabinet reshuffle would prompt questions over the future of Boris Johnson, who has faced calls to be sacked over two Brexit interventions which appeared to undermine the PM's authority. Boris Johnson is accused of being self-obsessed amid reports he is on leadership manoeuvres. Asked what she planned to do with the Foreign S...

EU refuse discuss about Brexit until paid of divorce bill

    Germany and France will reportedly refuse to talk about a post Brexit transition deal until the UK settles its so called divorce bill with the European Union. The two countries are set to reject one of the key proposals made by Theresa May in her Florence Speech, according to reports in the Financial Times. In the speech the Prime Minister suggested there should be a transition period once the UK leaves the EU, which she referred to as an interim implementation period. This would see the UK stay in the single market for two years after Brexit in exchange for continuing to pay into the EU budget and continuing to obey EU rules and regulations. But when the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michael Barnier met with ambassadors from the remaining 27 EU countries the idea was repor...

Solar cars begin race across Australian desert

    The World Solar Challenge began on Sunday with 42 solar cars crossing Australia’s tropical north to its southern shores, a grueling 3,000 km (1,864 mile) race through the outback. The race from the northern city of Darwin to the southern city of Adelaide is expected to take a week for most cars, with speeds of 90-100 kmh (55-62 mph) powered only by the sun. The fastest time was achieved by Japan’s Tokai University in 2009, completing the transcontinetal race in only 29 hours and 49 minutes. Belgian team Punch Powertrain started first on Sunday after recording a trial time of 2:03.8 for 2.97 km (1.78 miles), hitting an average speed of 83.4 kmh (51.5mph). But reigning 2015 champions Nuon from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands believes it has a good ...

Know how to deliver bad news to people

    Nobody wants to receive bad news, but when they must they prefer receiving it straight, without much buffer, suggests new research. So when it comes to delivering bad news, one should speak direct and not beat around the bush as most people prefer directness and candour when they must hear something unpleasant. If we’re negating physical facts, then there’s no buffer required or desired, said Alan Manning, Professor at Brigham Young University in the US. For example, if your house is on fire, you just want to know that and get out. Or if you have cancer, you’d just like to know that. You don’t want the doctor to talk around it, Manning said at the IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm 2017) in Madison, Wisconsin. For the study, 145 study partici...

Denmark could pass such legislation on burqa ban

    Danish parliamentarians will hold a formal vote to ban what they termed masking after the opposition party said it would support the measure. The country will be the latest European nation to pass such legislation. Denmark announced on Friday that it is planning to become the next European to enact a nationwide ban on the burqa and the niqab, the full-face coverings worn by some Muslim women. The Danish parliament has not yet announced a date for the formal vote. The move to ban the full-body coverings in Denmark is backed by the parties in the center-right government coalition, as well as the opposition Social Democrats. The Liberal Democrats, the coalition's leading party, said that the ban was not religiously motivated. This is not a ban on religious clothing, this is a...

EU steps up Brexit talks with Labour amid concerns over Theresa May’s future

    EU negotiators have reportedly stepped up backroom Brexit talks with Labour amid concerns over Theresa May's future. The Prime Minister has faced repeated calls to resign since losing the Conservative majority in June, with fresh claims this week that more than 30 Tory MPs want her to stand down. Uncertainty over Mrs May's premiership has seen EU negotiators significantly increase the amount of talks held with Labour since the General Election, according to The Daily Telegraph. The discussions have marked a significant change in tone towards Labour, and Brussels is seeking assurances from Jeremy Corbyn that he would honour agreements made with the Conservatives if he comes to power, it added. Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May In July, Mr Corbyn held very frank talks with EU ch...

A pharmacist jailed for showing beheading video to a child in Britain

    Zameer Ghumra was found guilty of disseminating terrorist propaganda as he tried to brainwash two young brothers into becoming Isis fighters. The 38-year-old taught the children how to survive a bomb attack and fight with knives, rewarding them with sweets to keep them onside. He was sentenced at Nottingham crown court on Friday for what the judge, Gregory Dickinson QC, described as a particularly serious attempt to turn the children into terrorists. These were shocking crimes which damaged the children and caused offence to the vast majority of law abiding Muslims, he said. Dickinson also noted there had been an absence of remorse from Ghumra. Jurors heard how Ghumra followed various Isis-linked social media accounts and made the two unidentified children follow similar a...

Teacher Alice McBrearty jailed who had sex with schoolboy aged 15

    A female teacher who had a full-blown sexual relationship with a 15-year-old schoolboy has been jailed for 16 months. Alice McBrearty, 23, admitted having a four-month fling earlier this year with a pupil she taught at an east London school. Snaresbrook Crown Court heard how McBrearty kissed the youngster in a classroom, took him to an Ibis hotel for sex, and performed sex acts on him in an empty garage and in her car. She also took the teenager to her parents' home in Wanstead Park, east London, where she performed sex acts on him and had sex. McBrearty, who pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust at an earlier hearing, put her head in her hands and sobbed in the dock as Judge Sheelagh Canavan sentenced her on Friday.

Trump is Wrong about Madman Kim Jong Un

    President Donald Trump has depicted the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a madman but U.S. intelligence officials do not agree. According to Yong Suk Lee, the deputy assistant director of the CIA's Korea Mission Center, the young North Korean ruler is actually a lot less erratic than he is often portrayed. "Beyond the bluster, Kim Jong Un is a rational actor, he said at a conference on the CIA at George Washington University on Wednesday, quoted by AFP. Trump and Kim have reguarly traded insults but despite the latter's threat to the American president last month, the North Korean ruler does not seek a military confrontation because he is more interested in ensuring his regime’s survival and stability. We have a tendency in this country and elsewhere to underestimate his...
