  Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of recruiting and trafficking young girls for the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse. The 60-year-old was convicted of five of the six charges she was facing, including the most serious charge of sex trafficking a minor. A 12-person jury in New York made the decision after five days of deliberation. It means the British socialite could be imprisoned for the rest of her life. The decision came after a month-long trial in which four women testified about being assaulted by Epstein between 1994 and 2004. Maxwell showed no emotion as the verdict was read out on Wednesday, instead pouring herself a glass of water and sipping it twice. Her legal team announced shortly after the verdict that they were already planning an appeal. Bobbi Sternheim, Ghislaine's lawyer, told reporters, "We firmly believe in Ghislaine's innocence." "I am so relieved and grateful that the jury recognized [her] pattern of predatory beh

  Three years late and more than £110 million over budget, a section of a key road in south Wales has finally opened. The A465 portion between Brynmawr, Blaenau Gwent, and Gilwern, Monmouthshire, was supposed to open in 2018, however it has been plagued by issues. For the past 20 years, various portions of the road have been under construction. The route appeared to be bringing in more business, according to Lee Meredith of Community Fitness in Brynmawr. He stated, " "We advertised in the Abergavenny region, Blaenavon, Pontypool, etc., and memberships have increased significantly since the road reopened. Simply because of the proximity to Brynmawr and the surrounding area. It's actually a good thing." Charlotte Evans of Sgiliau, a provider of education and training, said she "can't believe" it took seven years to complete the project. The construction is part of an £800 million Welsh government plan to make the entire route from Monmouthshire to Neath P

  According to early information, a deputy shot the tiger after a cleaning service worker pushed his arm through fencing and the tiger seized it. A cleaning worker at the Naples Zoo in Florida was critically mauled by a tiger on Wednesday after the guy apparently slipped his arm into the animal's enclosure, according to authorities. According to the zoo, Eko, an 8-year-old Malayan tiger, was shot and killed by a sheriff's officer. The sheriff's office claimed in a statement that the first cop on the site kicked the enclosure and tried to get the tiger to remove the man's arm from its mouth, but the deputy was forced to fire the animal. According to the sheriff's office, the worker, a man in his twenties, was critically hurt and rushed to the hospital. The tiger returned into its enclosure after being shot and was sedated by a veterinarian so it could be safely examined, according to the sheriff's office. Later, a zoo spokesman confirmed that the animal had peris

Forecasters predict up to 3 inches of snow in parts of western Washington on Thursday. A similar amount could be seen in Northwestern Oregon. A thaw is on the way for frigid Seattle and Portland, Oregon, but not before another round of snow, which might exacerbate problems in an area used to winter showers rather than cold blasts. On Wednesday, more snow and rain poured in California, disrupting travel on mountain roads and boosting the risk of debris flows from wildfire burn scars. Forecasters say up to 3 inches of snow could fall in regions of western Washington and northwestern Oregon on Thursday. After strong cold air blew in from Canada's Fraser River Valley on Sunday, the normally temperate section of the Pacific Northwest shivered, with temperatures reaching single digits in some parts this week. In some areas, snow and ice have made travel dangerous, forcing closures and travel delays, and forcing people to seek refuge in emergency warming centers. Since Sunday, roughly 1,3

  The 46-year-old former England captain is expected to be formally nominated and added to the official recommendations list for next June. It comes eight years after he was caught up in a tax evasion operation. The taxman changed his status from red to green, allowing him to be recognized. After a long-running tax saga, the Manchester United and Three Lions icon has finally become eligible to be a Sir. MPs and charity activists hailed the move last night, calling it "well overdue" for one of England's most successful players — and a prolific charity fundraiser. Becks was banned by the Inland Revenue ten years ago after being detected in the Ingenious tax dodging scheme. However, the firm won a multi-million pound appeal against HMRC in August, and Beckham's representatives met tax officials to settle his finances. "David, like many of the celebrities involved with Ingenious, had no idea what was going on at the time," a source added. When David became self-
