Gold price hits record high of $2,700 - and Royal Mint says buyers are turning from bars to coins, for a key reason..
Britons are buying up gold bullion coins instead of gold bars, the Royal Mint says, as prices spike and customers look to avoid rumoured rises to capital gains tax. Sales of bullion coins from The Royal Mint rose to a record high in the same period, with revenues up 110 per cent compared to the same period of 2023. The Royal Mint said most of this came from the sale of gold bullion coins. Stuart O'Reilly, of the Royal Mint, said: 'Gold prices have had multiple tailwinds in recent months. Tracking the gold price in this way is no different from holding a passive investment in a stock market index.

Explained: The rule changes in the Football Interprovincial Series
Explained: The rule changes in the Football Interprovincial SeriesMichael BoltonAfter much debate as to how the game should be changed, the new football rules will be seen in action this weekend in the Football Interprovincial Series. Kick outsThe kick-out would be taken from the 20 metre line and must go beyond the 40-metre arc. If an opposition player interferes with the goalkeeper or intercepts the ball within the 40-metre arc then the ball will be brought forward 50 metres. Three up three backBoth teams must have a minimum of three players inside each 65 yard line. So, if you’re the defending team, you must keep three outfield players inside the opposition ’65 and defend with a maximum of 11 players outside it.

AI-generated child sex abuse content increasingly found on open web – watchdog
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), which finds and removes child sexual abuse content from the internet, said in the past six months alone it had seen more reports of AI-generated abuse content than in the 12 months prior to that. According to the IWF’s figures, more than half of the AI-generated content found in the past six months was hosted on servers in two countries – Russia and the United States. “The protection of children and the prevention of AI abuse imagery must be prioritised by legislators and the tech industry above any thought of profit. “Law enforcement is committed to finding and prosecuting online child abusers, wherever they are. “We continue to work closely with the National Crime Agency, Government and industry to harness technology which will help us to fight online child sexual abuse and exploitation.”
