A Lincolnshire family is outraged about a burial plot error. After discovering that someone had been buried close to their father in a plot prepared for their mother, the Lincolnshire family stated they were "distressed." Widow Penny Robinson purchased a twin spot at St Leonard's Churchyard so that she may be buried next to her husband Trevor. When son Benjamin Robinson visited to place flowers on his father's grave last week, he noticed the error. The parish council has issued an apology and stated that it is seeking counsel. Mr Robinson told BBC Radio Lincolnshire that there was no longer enough room for his mum to be buried alongside her husband. It was difficult to break the news to my mother, and the family was greatly upset "he stated. "My mother is still upset about it." His brother, Luke Robinson, stated that the family was seeking an explanation from the council and that the error be corrected as quickly as possible. He explained, "They

Donations to truck drivers opposing vaccine regulations in Canada have been halted on GoFundMe. By Wednesday afternoon, donations to the "Freedom Convoy 2022" page had topped C$10 million ($7.9 million; £5.8 million), with roughly C$1 million going to organizers. A number of officials have proposed that the site be sued in order to prevent more monies from being released. The protest began over a week ago over a law requiring Covid vaccines to cross the US-Canada border. On Wednesday, a notification on the Freedom Convoy donations website stated, "This fundraiser is presently suspended and under evaluation to ensure it conforms with our terms of service and applicable laws and regulations." "Our crew is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is doing all possible to protect both organizers and donors. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for your patience." "We strictly prohibit user content that reflects or promotes behavior in support of viole

After being signed by a major modeling agency, a woman with Down's syndrome is commencing her modeling career. Beth Matthews, 22, from Swansea, decided to try modeling after seeing Ellie Goldstein's work, who also has Down's syndrome and has worked for Gucci. Beth has signed with Zebedee, the same agency that represents Goldstein's clients with disabilities and other physical differences. Fiona Matthews, her mother, claimed she has been "blossoming" since she began modeling. After hearing about Goldstein's work via Ms Matthews' sister, Beth's family decided to investigate the possibility of her doing some modeling to see how she would fare. Ms Matthews claimed she was "absolutely great" after half an hour of searching for a local stylist and photographer for a photoshoot. Beth was signed by Zebedee only a few weeks afterwards, and she has since participated in a number of photoshoots. The organization was founded five years ago with the g

Paul Givan, the First Minister of Northern Ireland, is to resign later on Thursday. The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) is protesting the Northern Ireland Protocol with this action. Northern Ireland is covered by the protocol, which is part of the Brexit agreement. Sinn Féin's Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill would also lose her job as a result of the change. The roles of first and deputy first ministers are a joint office shared by the two largest parties at Stormont due to Northern Ireland's power-sharing arrangements. If one of the leaders resigns, neither can stay in power. Mr Givan's Democratic Unionist Party has not issued an official comment (DUP). It's unclear whether Mr Givan will step down immediately or wait until a later date to announce his resignation. The DUP's Edwin Poots refused to confirm that the resignation would be made public on Thursday on the Nolan Show, simply adding that people would "just have to wait." If the decision

Native American tribes and big drug firms have reached a historic agreement over the devastation caused by opioid addiction. The provisional agreement, which includes Johnson & Johnson and three big pharma distributors, is valued at $590 million (£436 million). "Knowingly marketing addictive medications into vulnerable neighborhoods," the businesses were accused. Johnson & Johnson said in a statement that the settlement did not include any admissions of wrongdoing. The business said that its actions in promoting its painkillers were "acceptable and responsible." On Tuesday, distributors McKesson Corp, AmerisourceBergen Corp, and Cardinal Health Inc agreed to the terms. The settlement funds will be available to all 574 federally recognized tribes, even those who did not participate in the claims process. On top of the $75 million already pledged to the Cherokee Nation, a total of $440 million will be paid over the following seven years. The agreement, accordi

Boris Johnson's trip to Ukraine was a change of theme and location for him. For a few hours on Tuesday, the political challenges of the previous few days could be forgotten, and the more serious issues of European security could take their place. He came to Kyiv to convey his support for a country under siege, a place where political survival has a more visceral, existential meaning, far removed from Westminster's inflated analogies. Mr Johnson assured his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that the United Kingdom will always defend his country's independence. He promised him £88 million in aid and sent a clear warning to Moscow: if even a single Russian toe cap crossed the border, they would be confronted by a determined Ukrainian army "a terrible and ferocious resistance I believe that Russian parents and moms should consider this." Mr Johnson also warned Moscow that any economic sanctions imposed on as a result of the invasion of Ukraine would be "

According to press secretary Jen Psaki, the Biden administration views Spotify's decision to include advisory warnings to podcasts about Covid-19 as a "good step." Several musicians have requested that their songs be removed from the streaming site due to the escalating controversy surrounding Joe Rogan's show. The White House, according to Ms. Psaki, hopes that other platforms will follow suit. Joe Rogan has promised to work harder to provide more fair perspectives. Ms. Psaki said the White House was encouraged by Spotify's move to add disclaimers during a press briefing on Tuesday, but said internet platforms and media outlets can do more collectively. "Our hope is that all big tech platforms and, for that matter, all major news outlets be responsible and vigilant in ensuring that the American people have access to correct information on something as important as Covid," she said. Despite the fact that the disclaimers were a "good step," the

President Vladimir Putin of Russia has accused the United States of attempting to drag his country into a conflict in Ukraine. He said America's goal was to use the situation as a pretext to impose further sanctions on Russia, in his first substantive comments on the subject in several weeks. He also claimed that the US was dismissing Russia's worries regarding Nato forces in Europe. Tensions are rising in Ukraine due to a Russian troop build-up near the country's borders. Nearly eight years after seizing Crimea and backed a deadly revolt in Ukraine's eastern regions, Russia disputes Western charges that it is planning an invasion. Moscow, for its part, accuses Ukraine's government of failing to carry out an international agreement to restore calm to the country's eastern regions, where at least 14,000 people have been dead and Russian-backed insurgents hold large swaths of land. Mr Putin said during meetings in Moscow with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban:

The police watchdog has revealed "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination, bullying, and sexual harassment among the ranks of the Met Police. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) issued 15 recommendations after officers were found to have joked about rape and exchanged inappropriate social media posts. According to the IOPC, the majority of the officers probed were police constables assigned to Charing Cross Police Station. "We are terribly sorry," the Met added. "We believe these occurrences are not isolated or merely the behavior of a few 'bad apples," the IOPC wrote in its report. The investigation was begun in March 2018 into nine separate independent probes involving serving Metropolitan Police officers. According to the IOPC, investigations began after an officer allegedly had sex with a vulnerable lady in a chamber inside a London police station, though this claim was never proven. Two of the 14 policemen investigated were fired for eg
