Despite this, awareness of the disease remains low, and only 13 per cent of people survive for five years or more after diagnosis. Symptoms often appear only in the later stages, making early diagnosis crucial. The trust said: "That’s why it is so important that people understand the risk factors and early signs. "Early diagnosis saves lives, so this month is an important opportunity to raise awareness - and we need your help."

Written during the European leg of her Eras Tour, the album pulls back the curtain on the singer’s life and romance with fiance and NFL star Travis Kelce, indulging listeners with a fun and playful 12-track pop record. Released on Friday, the album was made with Swedish duo Max Martin and Shellback, reuniting the singer with the producers she worked with in 2017 for her album Reputation and 2014’s pop juggernaut album 1989. That’s why it is so much fun.”Some, however, were less impressed, notably The Guardian and The Financial Times, who gave the album two stars. The Telegraph, which gave it three stars, said: “It is a fine album – a witty, literate, mellifluous collection of overwhelmingly romantic singer-songwriter-style pop songs about the triumph of love, almost certainly spelled L-U-R-V-E. But for all its sophistication, Showgirl showcases Swift at her least dramatically intense.

File photoBENGALURU: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is under scrutiny as lawmakers in both the US and UK press CEO K Krithivasan for answers regarding the company’s employment practices and cybersecurity protocols. US Senators Charles E Grassley and Richard J Durbin from the senate judiciary committee wrote to TCS CEO K Krithivasan, raising concerns about the company’s hiring practices.The senators said that while TCS laid off around 60 employees at its Jacksonville office, it continues to file large numbers of H-1B visa applications. In the 2025 fiscal, TCS received approval for 5,505 H-1B visas, making it the second-largest employer of newly approved H-1B beneficiaries in the US. The senators asked TCS to clarify whether it prioritises hiring foreign workers over qualified Americans during a period of layoffs.“TCS is already under investigation by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission for allegedly firing older American workers in favour of newly hired South Asian H-1B employees. TCS is doing itself no favours by replacing Americans with H-1Bs during this investigation,” the letter read.TCS is also facing questions from UK Labour MP Liam Byrne, who wrote to Krithivasan demanding answers about the company’s role in recent cyber incidents at Jaguar Land Rover, Marks & Spencer (M&S), and Co-op.In his letter dated Sept 26, Byrne highlighted BBC reports that the M&S breach was triggered by a ransomware email “sent apparently using the account of an employee from TCS.”

Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out the attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester on the morning of Oct 2, according to statements from Counter Terrorism Policing and Greater Manchester Police. Police said the attacker drove a vehicle at people outside the synagogue and then attacked them with a knife, before being shot dead by officers. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the killings “a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they are Jews”, speaking in a televised address after cutting short his attendance at a European summit in Copenhagen. He attended a synagogue service in London in the evening of Oct 2 in a show of solidarity with the Jewish community.

"We continue to stand tall for a reason: the pursuit of truth, in the face of giants," he added. If the current laws protect legacy media in this manner, perhaps it’s up to us to ignite that change." "The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign." "The District Court's opinion makes clear that Wayfarer and its affiliates both commenced and continued the lawsuit against The Times without a substantial basis in fact and law," The Times' Tuesday complaint read. Lively and Baldoni's trial, during which both are expected to testify, is currently scheduled for March 2026.

In 1944, the broadcast time was moved to 10.20 p.m. (“Who the devil is going to listen to anything at 10.20?” Lewis wrote in jocular indignation to his producer, Eric Fenn). That meant that Lewis had to catch the midnight train to Oxford, getting home at about three o’clock in the morning. Lewis wrote that literature enables us “to see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts”. But “every paradise is a paradise lost,” Marcel Proust wrote; or, as Robert Frost’s poem puts it, “Nothing Gold Can Stay”.

At this time, we know that a car was driven directly at members of the public outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue on Middleton Road, Crumpsall in Manchester. The driver of the car was seen then to attack people with a knife. There were a large number of worshippers attending the synagogue at the time of this attack, but thanks to the immediate bravery of security staff and the worshippers inside, as well as the fast response of the police, the attacker was prevented from gaining access. All those inside were safely contained until police were able to confirm that it was safe to leave the premises.

The findings of an investigation by The Times were “horrific” and “a serious failure in our medical regulatory systems that I will not tolerate”, Wes Streeting said. “We also routinely receive information from overseas regulators including by way of the physician information exchange which has been developed by the International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities. “We also always actively seek information from overseas regulators when doctors who have been working in other countries apply to register with us. “We will continue to review each case carefully and thoroughly, and, where doctors are registered with us, decide what action we might need to take.”
