Counter-terrorism police take over probe into UK politician Ann Widdecombe's death

UK counter-terrorism police have taken over the investigation into the death of politician Ann Widdecombe. A 28-year-old man has been re-arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. The handover to specialist officers signals that authorities suspect a terrorist motive behind the incident.

Should counter-terrorism police take over such cases at an early stage of investigation?

Russia strikes Kyiv after Putin vows 'powerful' response

Russia launched a fresh wave of missile and drone attacks on Kyiv following Vladimir Putin's vow of a "powerful" response to Ukrainian actions. President Zelensky and allied leaders pledged to use the battle-tested Kyiv air defence system as a model for protecting Europe against Russian ballistic missiles. Ukraine and its partners see the defence of the capital as a blueprint for the continent's security.

Should Kyiv's air defence system become the standard for all of Europe?

Psychologist: Returning to an ex after 20 years works only under one condition

Michał Wiśniewski's decision to reunite with his second wife Marta "Mandaryna" Wiśniewska after two decades has sparked debate about rekindled relationships. Psychologist Barbara Wesołowska-Budka warns that the passage of time alone does not change how people function in a relationship. Success is most likely for those who have genuinely worked through their past issues and changed as individuals.

Can returning to an ex after many years lead to a successful relationship?

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Applying a pumice stone to dry feet without first soaking them causes the skin on heels to harden even more rather than soften. The critical step many people skip is soaking feet in warm water for several minutes before using the pumice, which softens the skin and prevents micro-abrasions. Regular moisturising after the treatment is equally important for lasting smooth skin.

2003's 'Cold Mountain' modernised The Odyssey 23 years before Nolan's film

Charles Frazier's 1997 novel "Cold Mountain" blended Homer's Odyssey with Civil War America, and director Anthony Minghella adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Miramax in 2003. The film is being recalled as Christopher Nolan prepares his own Odyssey adaptation. It predates the better-remembered Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) in drawing on the same ancient epic.

Earth's greatest mass extinction 252 million years ago wiped out 90% of species

The Great Permian Extinction, which occurred approximately 252 million years ago, wiped out nearly 90% of all species on Earth and is the largest mass extinction event in our planet's history. Scientists describe it as the death of "a world similar to our own" — rich in forests, life-filled oceans and complex ecosystems. The primary cause was massive volcanic eruptions in Siberia, which triggered rapid climate change and ocean acidification.

Could current human activity trigger a mass extinction comparable to the Permian one?
