The past year has been another relentless one in terms of developments in the Post Office Horizon scandal. If 2024 was the aftermath of the ITV drama on the scandal, 2025 was about more people drilling deeper into it. While the public inquiry into the scandal has been going about its work in the background, analysing the evidence it collected over three years, there have been many major developments. The inquiry’s first report in July was a defining moment. Although it covered only a fraction of the inquiry, with a more substantial report to come, it made the devastating…
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky said progress had been made to end the Ukraine war during Florida talks but the US leader added “one or two very thorny issues” remained.While both the US and Ukrainian presidents described the talks as “great”, Trump reiterated that a key sticking point was the question of territory. Russia has previously demanded that Ukraine hand over more land.Addressing reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Zelensky said they had come to an agreement on “90%” of a 20-point peace plan, while Trump said a security guarantee for Ukraine was “close to 95%” done.Zelensky later said US and Ukrainian teams…
Chelsea are reportedly interested in re-signing Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger, and that move is said to be ‘one of the strongest options’ for him. The Blues currently have seven options at centre-back. While they are missing Levi Colwill through injury and Axel Disasi hasn’t played all season, there are five men left to fill those roles. But all five of the other options have played this term, and Chelsea are interested in adding more talent to the back line. According to Spanish outlet AS, former Blues defender Rudiger is a player of interest, with his Real Madrid deal expiring…
I first experienced the A390 at the Car of the Year judging event at Tannis in September, and the first thing that took me by surprise was how good it looked. I’d seen pictures, of course, and thought it seemed striking but a bit… odd. But in the weak Danish sunlight it looked properly marvellous: bold, well-proportioned and refreshingly different to any other big saloon, fastback or SUV. More than that, it was clear before I’d crept out of the car park that it was going to feel like no other electric SUV or crossover. It feels taut and alert:…
Artificial intelligence (AI) may have dominated wider tech headlines this year – and this held true in the cyber world as well – but at the same time, the security community’s concerns extend far beyond the risk implications of fully autonomous technology, as Computer Weekly’s annual top 10 round-up reflects. Five years after Covid-19, it’s fair to say that the pandemic remade security, turning it from a specialist subject into something on which everyone has an opinion, and some of the biggest themes to emerge from the dark days of lockdown – remote work and supply chain security –…

Manchester United target Ruben Neves is reported to have made a ‘sacrifice’ which his agent, Jorge Mendes, found “crazy” in hopes of joining Real Madrid. Neves has found his way onto United’s midfield shortlist of late. The likes of Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba consistently feature, though all will be very expensive assets. Neves is out of contract with Al-Hilal in the summer and could therefore be cheap in January or would come free at the end of the season. It has been confirmed that United have made contact for the midfielder, but reports in Spain suggest Neves…
The weight of a new Fabia vRS is potentially resting on this car’s shoulders. Should demand for the Fabia 130 be sufficient, the powers that be in Mladá Boleslav might decide to go whole hog. Does it do a good enough job to warrant a full-fat version? Yes. Would a future Fabia vRS make it almost irrelevant? Also yes. This 130 gets its name from two sources: it makes 130kW (174bhp) and Skoda turned 130 earlier this year. To get to that figure (a 26bhp upgrade), some subtle upgrades have been made to the Volkswagen Group’s ubiquitous four-cylinder 1.5 TSI Evo2 engine. Its ECU has…
