Trio were praised in February for wearing yellow uniforms in apparent show of support for Ukraine.

But in fact we had accumulated a lot of yellow material so we needed to use it,” he said. Hines tweeted about the US’s Independence Day on Monday. “This is a long-awaited day that residents of the occupied areas of the Luhansk region have been waiting for eight years.

Many of them rip off customers and owe us millions in business rates – but tracking down their owners is proving impossible, says Adam Hug, ...

One significant measure the council is taking to stop the inexorable rise of the candy store is offering discounts to startup businesses who will take void spaces on. Westminster is the largest collector of business rates in the country (£2.4bn per year) with the vast majority of the money redistributed across the country to other local authorities. The original cost of the chocolate is around 40p; the fake bar is sold at £9 to £10. In other cases, as the Food Standards Agency warns, the chocolate may be hazardous. In the last six months, Westminster city council officers have recovered around £575,000 worth of these items from candy and souvenir shops on Oxford Street. The council has the job of trying to unpick a trail of false occupation names or shell companies that dissolve before we can take court action for business rates owed. To avoid this, a number have let their sites to an intermediary company (or series of companies) or managing agent, who in turn let to other companies who run souvenir or sweet shops.

I've found time for family and volunteering during my company's pilot – and productivity for all of us has increased, says training manager Jill Tichborne.

We measure productivity through the number of jobs completed so we can see this on a daily basis through our systems. Of course, the move to a four-day week has been a big change, and it took some getting used to. As a single mum I have always had to juggle work, school and being a chauffeur for my children, but this new system means that I can be there for my children and enjoy our time together.

Rightwing networks Fox News, OAN and Newsmax could be found liable in cases brought by voting machine company Dominion.

While Fox is more financially comfortable than OAN and NewsMax, it is not invulnerable. A potential precedent in the Dominion v Fox case could be found in a recent case involving Sarah Palin, who sued the New York Times. Palin claimed the newspaper maliciously damaged her reputation by erroneously linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting. We also reported on critics of the Trump claims”. Dominion is already suing Fox News, as well as OAN and Newsmax. Davis’s ruling is not a guarantee that Fox will be found liable. “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.” “The reason Dominion is suing is because Fox and other rightwing news outlets repeated vicious lies that Dominion’s voting machines stole the 2020 election from Trump for Biden. But all of these conspiracy theories about Dominion’s machines were just pure bunk, and Fox as a news organization should have known that and not given this aspect of the big lie a megaphone.” In February a jury sided with the Times, finding that a Times employee had not acted with “actual malice” against a public figure or with “reckless disregard” for the truth – the criteria necessary to prove defamation. In a statement, a Fox News spokesperson said: “Limiting the ability of the press to report freely on the American election process stands in stark contrast to the liberties on which this nation was founded, and we are confident we will prevail in this case, as the first amendment is the foundation of our democracy and freedom of the press must be protected.” “Dominion has a very strong case against Fox News – and against OAN for that matter,” said Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, a professor who teaches constitutional law at Stetson University and a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy institute. “These allegations support a reasonable inference that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch either knew Dominion had not manipulated the election or at least recklessly disregarded the truth when they allegedly caused Fox News to propagate its claims about Dominion,” Judge Eric Davis said. Fox Corp had attempted to have the suit dismissed, but a Delaware judge said Dominion had shown adequate evidence for the suit to proceed.
