The case centres on questions over clothing expenses claimed by Audrey Wales, 80, who was mayor between 2016 and 2017.The Ballymena councillor spent more than £2,300, but the council did not disclose the full cost when asked for details in an FoI request.Instead its response in 2019 said Wales had spent just £190.The entire bill was only revealed in a second FoI in 2022.In a statement in 2022, Wales said she had sent a cheque in 2019 reimbursing the council for most of the spending to stop “electorally motivated questions”.The cheque was received by Donaghy, but was never cashed.Wales, who…

A barrier lake is a body of water formed when debris dams up a river.Officials said that three million cubic metres of…
When Crown Prince Haakon married Mette-Marit in 2001, the king and queen welcomed her four-year-old son from a previous relationship. Marius Borg Høiby was treated as one of the family, but the royal house later stressed he was never a royal.The king’s daughter Princess Märtha Louise initially married a Norwegian writer before controversially remarrying in 2024 to an American self-styled shaman. The couple’s business activities eventually led to her halting her royal duties.While some Norwegians may have felt Harald was too lenient with his family’s controversial life decisions, Vagle believes he had “shown himself to be someone who puts talking…
Zack Polanski has called for a freeze on the approval of new data centres in England because of concerns about the amount of water and energy they use.The Green Party leader said the government should introduce stricter environmental rules and give communities more say on whether the centres are built in their area.Data centres can use significant amounts of water to cool their systems, although there are no official figures on how much water they consume in the UK.The government said a pause would lead to the UK losing investment and being dependent on overseas computing for sensitive data processing.A…

A judge has ruled the US Department of Defense acted unlawfully when it designated artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic a supply chain risk, calling the move “illegal and baseless”.The company argued in the lawsuit that Defense Secretary Pete Hegeth overstepped his authority with the new designation. It followed Anthropic’s refusal to allow the military to use its AI models for things that included surveillance or autonomous weapons.US district judge Rita Lin said in the ruling that citing national security “is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics”.Anthropic welcomed the ruling. The BBC has contacted the Pentagon…
