The NHS is to open a network of mental health accident and emergency units across England in an attempt to ease the pressure on overcrowded hospital A&Es and emergency services. Ten NHS trusts have opened dedicated units for mental health emergencies, the Times reported, and the scheme is expected to be expanded nationally as part of the 10-year NHS plan being published this summer by Labour. Sir James Mackey, the chief executive of NHS England, told the Times: “Crowded A&Es are not designed to treat people in mental health crisis. “As well as relieving pressure on our busy A&Es, mental health crisis assessment centres can speed up access to appropriate care, offering people the help they need much sooner, so they can stay out of hospital.”Last week, the Guardian reported that thousands of people with a mental health crisis are enduring waits of up to three days in A&E before they get a bed. A senior nurse in the south-west of England said: “Lots of people will just come and wait and be patient.

NHS England said that the some of the centres will be new, self-contained units, while others will be incorporated into existing A&Es. He said it was impossible to separate out physical and mental health problems so simply, calling for separate facilities to be put in place "carefully". Calling for better funding of NHS mental health services, he noted the share of health spending on mental health treatment had gone down last year and was set to do so again. Baroness Merron, the minister for mental health, said: "Too often, people experiencing mental health crisis are not getting the support or care they deserve, and so it is vital that we continue to provide a range of services like this one." "On top of this, through our proposed reforms to the Mental Health Act, we will ensure people with the most severe mental health conditions get better more personalised care."

Johan Helberg woke up on Thursday morning to find his backyard view of a Norwegian fjord transformed into the side of a giant ship. A cargo ship, the NCL Salten, had run aground at about 5 a.m. on Thursday, barely missing his house on the shore in Byneset, a part of the city of Trondheim in central Norway. The police said on Friday that their investigation was focusing on the officer guiding the ship, saying that he told them he had fallen asleep before the crash. “I thought, who in the world rings the doorbell at 5:45 in the morning? I looked out the window, and he said: ‘Haven’t you seen the ship?’”

TCS, which has worked with M&S for over ten years, aims to finish the probe by the end of the month. In 2018, the retailer moved half of its tech work to TCS, designating it as its main tech partner.

At M&S Reliance, a 51:49 joint venture between M&S and Reliance Retail, sales rose by 5% in FY24, reaching Rs 1,742 crore.

Muhunthan Paramesvaran, a senior immigration lawyer at Wilsons Solicitors in London, said that inquiries from Americans looking to settle in Britain had risen “in the immediate aftermath of the election and the various pronouncements that were made.”“There’s definitely been an uptick in inquiries from U.S. nationals,” he said. “People who were already here may have been thinking, ‘I want the option of dual citizenship in the event that I don’t want to go back to the U.S.’”The rise in British citizenship applications from Americans took place against a backdrop of similar increases from across the world, but the global rate — 9.5 percent year-on-year — was far outpaced by the 30 percent jump from the United States. Zeena Luchowa, a partner at Laura Devine Immigration, a law firm that specializes in American migration to Britain, said she expected further increases in the coming months because of the “political landscape” in America. “We’ve seen increases in inquiries and applications not just for U.S. nationals, but for U.S. residents of other nationalities who are currently in the U.S. but looking at plans to settle in the U.K.,” she added. “The queries we’re seeing are not necessarily about British citizenship — it’s more about seeking to relocate.”

It also names TMZ and Yahoo as defendants, alleging that their stories amplified and sensationalized the Times’s reporting and smeared the tribe in the process. The misperceptions brought on by the aggregation and repackaging of the story led the Times to publish a follow-up. Rather than issuing a retraction or apology, the follow-up downplayed the original article’s emphasis on pornography by shifting blame to third-party aggregators.”Nicas wrote that he spent a week with the Marubo tribe. The plaintiffs also include the community leader Enoque Marubo and Brazilian journalist and sociologist Flora Dutra, both of whom appeared in the story. Both were instrumental in bringing the tribe the internet connection, which they said has had many positive effects including facilitating emergency medicine and the education of children.

Ownership of The Daily Telegraph, the storied British newspaper long considered close to the country’s Conservative Party, is poised to change — again. RedBird Capital Partners, an American investment firm, said on Friday that it had reached an agreement in principle to buy control of the newspaper’s parent company, Telegraph Media Group, at a valuation of 500 million pounds, or about $675 million. Friday’s deal is the latest twist in a long-running takeover drama for The Telegraph, which for much of its 170-year history has been considered a house organ of sorts for Britain’s Conservative Party. RedBird had already bought control of the newspaper via a joint venture with International Media Investments, a fund controlled by a member of Abu Dhabi’s royal family. Under that plan, the newspaper would have been overseen by Jeff Zucker, the former president of CNN.
