There’s nothing newsworthy about someone from Long Island disliking a progressive policy in New York City. DeBlasio is not former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. Semafor identified the man at the center of the reporting mix-up as a 59-year-old wine importer who had received an email from a Times reporter and decided to respond. I never thought it would make it to print,” he said in an interview conducted via his Ring doorbell in Long Island, saying that he thought the outlet would double-check his identity before publishing. The Times of London later blamed the incident on an “individual falsely claiming to be the former New York mayor.” But the Long Island DeBlasio disputes that characterization.

Andrew, the scandal-scarred younger brother of King Charles III, will be stripped of his title as prince, an extraordinary punishment — unheard-of in the annals of the modern British royal family — that caps his fall from grace over his ties to the convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. In a statement on Thursday, Buckingham Palace said it had begun a formal process to remove the “style, titles and honors of Prince Andrew.” The prince, it said, “will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,” the family name of members of the House of Windsor. The palace also said that Andrew, 65, would be evicted from his sprawling residence, Royal Lodge, and move to a private house. Andrew has steadfastly denied that he raped the woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre. But doubts about his account of his relationship with Mr. Epstein — as well as sordid details of his sexual misconduct in a newly published memoir by Ms. Giuffre — made his position in the royal family increasingly untenable.

A new government-backed AI Growth Lab will allow innovators to safely test healthcare technologies in real-world settings, aiming to cut NHS waiting times and ease staff workloadsAs reported by Digital Health, a government plan to accelerate the safe rollout of artificial intelligence across the NHS could help reduce patient waiting times and ease pressure on frontline staff. The initiative aims to fast-track responsible AI systems that could, for example, assist clinicians with diagnostics or streamline administrative workloads. “It’s about fast-tracking responsible innovations that will improve lives and deliver real benefits.”A public consultation has also been launched to gather views on how the Growth Lab should operate – whether as a government-led programme or overseen by independent regulators. To support the rollout, £1 million in funding has been earmarked for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to pilot AI-assisted medical tools and expand access to regulatory testing environments. Officials say the approach could transform how new health technologies reach patients – speeding up innovation while maintaining public safety.
