One hundred and eighty years after the first fax machines started grinding out messages, three NHS trusts in England are still using the technology.Health Secretary Wes Streeting had made it his personal mission to banish the fax, pledging to Radio 5 Live in October 2024 that he would phase them out of the health service within a year.Now he has returned with an update – and it is not quite mission accomplished. “I’m happy to report that having gone away and scoured the NHS for evidence of fax machines being put to use, of the 205 NHS trusts we have…
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur’s decision on whether to sack head coach Thomas Frank will be determined by one ‘pivotal’ factor. Former Brentford boss Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou at Spurs in the summer and was tasked with steadying the ship after their shambolic performances in the Premier League last term. Frank has turned Spurs into more of a defensive unit this term and they initially benefited from this change, but performances and results have massively declined in recent months. The north London outfit have only won one of their previous 13 matches in all competitions as Frank has alienated himself…
‘AI-powered’ security tools are already everywhere, and 2026 will only make that more apparent. The question I hear from CISOs is never “Should we be using artificial intelligence?” so much as “How do I tell the genuine accelerator from the expensive toy?” The hard truth is that AI has become a serious force multiplier for both sides. In my own work, I have been writing about the shift from human-operated intrusion sets to AI orchestrated campaigns where LLMs are effectively the primary operator and the human becomes simply a prompter and supervisor. Ignoring AI is, of course, a choice,…

US Vice-President JD Vance says Greenland is “critical” for the defence of the US and the world against possible Russian or Chinese missile attacks – and that Europe and Denmark have “not done a good job” in securing the area.Vance told Fox News that they had not only under-invested in Greenland’s defences, but also failed to engage with President Donald Trump’s argument over the issue.US officials are “actively” discussing a potential offer to buy Greenland – a semi-autonomous Danish territory – the White House said on Wednesday, a day after suggesting military action to annex it to the US was…

Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee is still on the radar of Roma, according to Fabrizio Romano, who said a January move could be on the cards. The 24-year-old Dutchman only joined United in 2024 but nine goals in 64 games is not exactly the kind of form that would result in a long stay. The Old Trafford to Italy route is a well-trodden one, with Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund both at Napoli and Roma could become another home to an ex-United player. According to transfer reporter Romano, Roma have reignited their interest in the Dutchman and could go for…
DS has published the first images of its forthcoming No7 family SUV and they indicate that it will effectively serve as a more conventional counterpart to the rakish No8 flagship. A video posted by DS design director Thierry Metroz shows a digital rendering of the No7 in camouflage, revealing it to share several key design cues with the No8, such as headlights with three main projector beams. The rear end of the No7 is not shown in the video, but it is also likely to mirror the No8, barring the extended rear window and higher roofline. It will be underpinned by…
