Runner died at level crossing after loud music warning on phoneSam Dudley was killed by a train at a level crossing while wearing headphonesView Image A general view of a level crossing in Formby (Image: James Maloney/Liverpool Echo)A man was fatally struck by an approaching train at a level crossing following a warning from his mobile device, an inquest was told. ‌Sam Dudley had been out jogging in Formby, Liverpool on the morning of 24 August last year when the tragic incident occurred at Hoggs Hill level crossing. ‌CCTV recordings presented at the inquest showed Sam running onto the railway before appearing startled as he became aware a train was coming. Ms Bhardwaj determined that the most probable explanation was that Sam failed to detect the warning signals due to running whilst listening to loud music through his headphones. She stated: "It is more likely than not that Sam did not hear the klaxon because he was running whilst listening to loud music through his headphones...

Zoe Atkin brought down the curtain on Team GB’s record-breaking trip to the Winter Olympics with a halfpipe bronze medal on Sunday. Although it equalled the shade won by her sister eight years ago, matching Eileen Gu proved impossible. For Atkin, the world champion and recent winner of the X Games, there was no shame in falling short of such a standard. The significance for Team GB is that it enabled them to level their haul from Pyeongchang 2018 on five medals. ‘I walk away as the most decorated free skier of all time, male or female, and the most gold medals of any free skier ever, male or female,’ she said.

A bespoke collection of Irish Times journalism exclusively for subscribers featuring previews and the best of the week that wasThe floods that wreaked havoc across parts of Ireland in recent weeks highlighted two urgent imperatives. Some of the homes damaged in recent weeks had been recently built, raising questions about whether the planning system has been equal to the task. Figures brought to light by our Climate and Science Correspondent, Caroline O’Doherty, this week suggest that culture has not entirely disappeared. Derek Crozier, the original Crosaire setter, or cruciverbalist, compiled his cryptic crossword from 1943 until his death in 2010. This week we launched The Daily Eight - an eight-clue crossword compiled by Niamh O’Connor and published seven days a week.

Michael Carrick's transfer hint after telling Man Utd to sign 'the best players'Michael Carrick has called staying as Manchester United manager his "ultimate" dreamView 2 Images Michael Carrick is ready for a permanent role at Manchester United (Image: Marc Atkins, Getty Images)Michael Carrick's previous comments suggest he will seek "the best players" at Manchester United should he remain beyond the summer. ‌The ex-Middlesbrough boss has been candid about his ambition to remain, telling BBC Sport it's the "ultimate" dream. Should Carrick remain beyond this season, United supporters will be encouraged by the manager's previous stance on transfers. To be honest, you want the best players to be here, whether it's in my position or not. But certainly, consistency and stability of a squad and group of players helps you improve and helps you improve together in order to achieve success."

This shipwreck is part of our family lore, and of Stradbally and the neighbouring parishes. I was there early on Sunday with Spanish descendants of the captain, Joaquín Herrera, before the afternoon celebrations began. They only heard the full story a few years ago, when a Spanish blogger wrote about the Cirilo Amorós. Until then, all the Alemany family knew was that their grandfather had been wrecked somewhere off Ireland. The proposal was met with the same enthusiasm that greeted the Spanish sailors a hundred years before.

These scenes are uniformly bathed in the soft glow of late summer sunlight, and over it all a gentle and melancholy traditional Irish air plays. “What you see there,” he says, pointing upwards at a tractor idling at an intersection, “that’s the real Ireland. “They took this from you.”If you’re familiar with the standard linguistic gestures of the online right, this last line – delivered twice for emphasis – arrives with the dull comic thunk of cliche. In fact – and I suspect this might be the crucial point – you would pretty much have to not be Irish at all. Just as the format of this kind of content is imported from American online discourse, it seems clear that it is not intended for consumption by Irish people.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's grim catchphrase he used to 'humiliate staff'A former member of staff has shared memories of working with Andrew, claiming the royal had a demanding catchphrase and would allegedly 'scream and shout' at household staffView 2 Images Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was arrested last week (Image: AFP via Getty Images)He was reportedly the late Queen's 'favourite' son - yet it seems Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor wasn't particularly cherished by those working within the royal household. ‌A former member of staff has revealed what the ex-prince is genuinely like away from public view, alleging he had a "grim" phrase he'd use with employees that left them feeling "humiliated". ‌Royal insiders - ranging from commentators to ex-staff members - have characterised the disgraced royal as "entitled" in numerous accounts. According to distinguished royal biographer Andrew Lownie, Andrew's mindset was that his staff were "there to serve and not to question his actions", reports the Mirror. Following his removal from Royal Lodge, recent reports indicate Andrew will have considerably fewer staff available at the much smaller Marsh Farm.

Teacher called student 'sweet cheeks' and said 'nobody sees your phone though - right?' ‌In one of a series of flirty messages Davies told a student, or someone he thought was a student: "Nobody sees your phone though, right? In another set of messages, the teacher told a second student "Could look at you all day ngl (not going to lie)" and said "You’re making me very hot under the collar here". He also told the student, referred to only as Learner B in the hearing: "Wow you really are incredible" and "these pics are getting addictive". ‌Davies then seemed to get worried and messaged Learner B saying: "Nobody sees your phone though, right?

I moved from Malaysia to Yorkshire and discovered a Northern friendliness I never expectedThis is somewhere we belong - and we've got to love the language, pronunciations and polite greetingsView 2 Images Peace Gardens in Sheffield city centre (Image: Huddersfield Examiner)When I first moved to Sheffield from Malaysia many years ago, I thought the biggest adjustment would be the weather. Only later did I realise that in the North, “tea” often means the evening meal. These tiny interactions sound trivial, but when you’ve moved countries, they matter more than you realise. You walk through areas where you hear Urdu, Polish, Arabic, Yorkshire dialect, all within the same street. ‌The funniest part is that my daughter, who is now 14 and has spent half her life in Sheffield, sounds more Yorkshire than I do.

King Charles should admit what he knew about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's misconduct, when he found out and what he did about it, a royal expert has said. But after the Mail on Sunday revealed the King was warned as long ago as 2019 that the Royal Family's name was being 'abused' by Andrew's business associations, royal expert Andrew Lownie has insisted Charles must admit how much he knew. 'I think it will be very damaging if it is revealed that King Charles knew about this. And, you know, I think he needs to come clean on what he knew, when he knew it and what he did about it.
