Why your mobile phone's blue light could turn your hair grey and give you dark eye circles
Doom-scrolling for hours every day on social media? Think again – it could be turning your hair grey and giving you wrinkles. Scientists have found that the specific type of light emitted by mobiles may trigger premature ageing, including hair loss, wrinkles, and circles around the eyes. The problem stems from the light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, within the display screens of modern smartphones which produce high-energy visible light – often known as ‘blue light’ – to create bright colours. While some previous research has suggested blue light may be linked to premature skin ageing, associations between LED devices generally and ageing have not previously been investigated.

'We don't know whose baby we've had': When IVF goes horrifically wrong - from embryo 'mix-ups' to families left raising children who are not their own
IVF has helped millions of families have children who otherwise might never have existed – a medical breakthrough that has transformed modern parenthood. The mistake was only uncovered months after the birth, when the biological parents asked to transfer their remaining embryos and an unexpected extra embryo was discovered in storage. In another Australian case, a white couple gave birth to a biracial baby after a sperm mix-up at a Brisbane fertility clinic. 'I love my beautiful baby more than life itself… but has anyone ever found out their IVF baby wasn't theirs?'

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood 'threat to quit' over Left-wing challenge to her immigration reforms
Angela Rayner's demand for the Government to scrap tougher immigration rules could lead to the resignation of Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, it has been claimed. Both the Home Office and No10 denied that Ms Mahmood had warned Sir Keir Starmer last week that she would quit if her reforms were watered down. Ms Mahmood has staked her political reputation on toughening immigration rules in the face of opposition from both within her own party and from liberal critics. Labour MPs in the party's Northern heartlands insist that more Labour MPs back Ms Mahmood on the issue than Ms Rayner. Speaking about Mr McSweeney's departure, one Ms Mahmood supporter said: 'She was the centrepiece of the McSweeney project.

Fishing fleet could be grounded within weeks due to fuel costs
Ireland’s offshore and inshore fleets could be grounded in three weeks if the Government does not subsidise the fishing industry’s fuel bill, it has been claimed. Industry representatives have also warned the viability of the entire Irish offshore fishing industry is now in doubt. The Seafood Ireland Alliance called on the Government to help fishermen cope with soaring fuel costs almost a fortnight ago. “The white fish and prawn fishing fleet, of around 180 vessels, are the ones that are suffering the most, because they spend the most time at sea. “Although the industry has now passed the viability mark, fishermen are fishing through it, hoping the price will go down.
