Becky MortonPolitical reporterPA MediaThe US military action in Venezuela was the right thing to do “morally”, Kemi Badenoch has said.The Conservative leader told the BBC that while she did not understand the legal basis for Donald Trump’s operation to remove President Nicolás Maduro from the country, he was overseeing a “brutal regime” and she was “glad he’s gone”.However, she added that the move did “raise serious questions about the rules-based order”.The UK government has so far avoided criticising the US move or saying whether it breached international law, instead arguing that Maduro was an “illegitimate president”.However, some Labour MPs and…

Man Utd midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is likely to be the big winner from Darren Fletcher’s appointment as caretaker manager after Ruben Amorim’s sacking. The Red Devils announced Amorim’s sacking in a statement on Monday morning with Fletcher given the reins for at least their next Premier League match against Burnley. Man Utd, who currently plan to replace Fletcher with an interim boss until the end of the season before making a permanent appointment, could also give the Red Devils legend the FA Cup match against Brighton in five days’ time. The Times reporter Paul Hirst revealed Man Utd’s plan on X on…

The BMW X3 M is one of those cars that has a reputation for attracting a certain kind of buyer. But actually its buyer base is much broader than you might think, because it has always been a very capable and very practical performance car. Like a taller, roomier version of the M3. So there is good reason for people to be disappointed that BMW’s performance division probably isn’t going to give us a new X3 M – not one with a combustion engine, at least. And yes, this means that, despite its aggressive appearance and lofty price, the range-topping…

The timing looks good, as industry data from last month shows that over 90% of warehouses now deploy some form of AI or advanced automation, with 60% achieving advanced maturity levels and…

In at least 2013, Fujitsu’s current European boss, Paul Patterson, was part of a senior group of executives at the IT supplier monitoring and downplaying press coverage of challenges against the Horizon system. Post Office scandal victim and campaigner Lee Castleton has called on Patterson, who faces MPs in a select committee meeting today, to stop being a “bystander” and be a “leader”. Another victim of the scandal, Jo Hamilton, said she expects the same “bullshit” from the likes of Patterson, as in previous hearings. Patterson has form watching on and taking no action.

Central African Republic (CAR) President Faustin-Archange Touadéra has won a third term after securing an outright majority in last month’s presidential election, provisional results show. The 68-year-old mathematics professor was widely expected to win after the main opposition coalition boycotted the poll, citing concerns about electoral fairness. Touadéra campaigned on his security record in the chronically unstable nation after rebels seized power in 2013, a crisis that led the government to enlist support from Russian mercenaries and Rwandan soldiers.He has faced heavy criticism after a 2023 constitution removed term limits, allowing him to keep running for office.More than 2.4 million…

Man Utd legend Nicky Butt insists he would “give his season tickets back” if the Red Devils hired former Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca. The Red Devils announced on Monday that they had sacked Amorim after their 1-1 draw against Leeds on Sunday. There were a number of reasons for his dismissal with journalist Ben Jacobs revealing that there was ‘tension over a lack of alignment in the market and a breakdown between Amorim and Jason Wilcox.’ Man Utd believed that ‘there haven’t been enough signs of evolution or progress’ and Jacobs added that the club insisted no head coach…

OhSnap won our hearts (and a best of CES award) last year with the MCON, its tiny Bluetooth game pad that magnetically connects to your phone. At the time, we tried a pre-production unit, but in the year since the MCON has been finalized and went on sale last month. I just got a chance to try the final version here at CES, and just a quick demo was enough to convince me that OhSnap has made some solid refinements over the last year.Just as we saw last year, the MCON attaches magnetically to an iPhone or any compatible Android…
