Sixty-eight Pizza Hut restaurants across the UK are set to close after the company behind its UK operations fell into administration. The affected sites range from Finchley Lido in London to Carlisle in Cumbria and Rhyl in north Wales. In addition, 11 delivery-only outlets will shut down, putting 1,210 jobs at risk.

US parent company Yum! Brands — which also owns KFC and Taco Bell — stepped in to buy 64…

Amazon Web Services (AWS) said late Monday that it had resolved a widespread outage that left thousands of websites and apps offline worldwide for much of the day. More than 1,000 platforms — including Snapchat and banks such as Lloyds and Halifax — went down due to technical failures in Amazon’s US-based cloud network. Downdetector, a global outage monitor, recorded over 11 million reports of service disruptions during the incident. Experts said the event exposed the risks of concentrating essential digital infrastructure in the hands of a few major providers. Millions cut off by a single system failure Professor Alan…
President Donald Trump has awarded conservative activist Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the nation’s highest civilian honors.

Officials described it as a tribute to Kirk’s work in advancing civic engagement and political activism across the United States. “Charlie Kirk has made a lasting impact on American politics,” Trump said. “His voice inspired countless people to participate in democracy and defend the principles of our nation.” Kirk, who passed…
Millions of young people could miss out on safe and effective treatments because so few take part in medical research, new data shows. People aged 18–24 make up 8% of England’s population but only 4.4% of participants in health studies, according to the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Experts warn this underrepresentation means treatments are often tested mainly on older adults, making them less suitable for younger patients. “Young people face unique physical and mental health challenges,” said Kirsty Blenkins of the Association for Young People’s Health. “If research excludes them, it risks poorer outcomes and widening…
Boeing freighter ends up in the sea after failed landingTwo airport security officers were killed when a cargo jet overshot the runway at Hong Kong International Airport in the early hours of Monday morning.

The four crew members were pulled from the plane and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators search…
After 11 months and 35 matches, Rúben Amorim finally produced a breakthrough for Manchester United. The Portuguese coach had once described his team as “maybe the worst in the club’s history.” Criticism mounted, his position appeared fragile, and only minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s public backing secured him. Then came Anfield — the home of United’s fiercest rivals. There, Amorim’s team showed determination, resilience, and belief. A victory earned through grit This was no fluke like last December’s win at Manchester City. United started with focus and intensity. Bryan Mbeumo scored early, giving the team confidence, and they defended as…
A new “smart” injection has shown remarkable results in shrinking head and neck cancer tumours within just six weeks, offering fresh hope for patients with advanced disease. The drug, amivantamab, was tested in a major international trial and could transform treatment for people whose cancer has returned or spread after standard therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer globally. Once it recurs, treatment options are limited — but researchers say amivantamab may change that. Presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference in Berlin, the trial found that 76% of…
By Rachel Maddow | The West Coast TimesAdapted from an interview originally published by the Abu Dhabi Times UBS Group AG is under mounting international scrutiny as a landmark lawsuit accuses the Swiss banking giant of concealing Holocaust-era accounts that once held the savings of Jewish families fleeing Nazi persecution. In an interview with the Abu Dhabi Times, Dr. Gerhard Podovsovnik, Vice President of AEA Justinian Lawyers, revealed that evidence suggests millions of those accounts were deliberately excluded from postwar restitution. Representing Rabbi Ephraim Meir in the expanding case, Dr. Podovsovnik described the issue as “a betrayal carried out through…
Hunting Operations Continue Amid Federal FurloughsDuring the partial government shutdown in October 2025, which led to the furlough of thousands of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) employees, the Trump administration confirmed that hunting activities would continue in roughly 600 National Wildlife Refuges nationwide. Internal guidance indicated that all scheduled hunts should proceed, while other refuge services, including visitor centers and educational programs, were temporarily suspended. The decision has drawn criticism from conservation organizations and some lawmakers, who question the prioritization of recreational hunting over other federal responsibilities. Limited Staff Maintain Essential FunctionsAlthough most FWS personnel were furloughed, a small…
