By James Clayton & Jasmin Dyer Published 20 January Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Amber Norsworthy lives in Mississippi with her four children. It had just turned 3pm when she got home on 27 December. She received a notification on her phone. "My phone made a ding that I'd never heard before", she says.

All that glisters is, of course, not gold ... and all that is gold doesn’t necessarily shine, especially “dirty gold”. We wear it, we trade it and – if you’re the sort of person who frequents the restaurants where gold leaf on food is the highest mark of ostentatious opulence – we even eat it. But most of us don’t worry too much about where the gold comes from. Gold mining is considered to be one of the most environmentally unfriendly forms of mineral extraction. The process creates massive amounts of toxic waste – 20 tonnes for every gold ring – and it ravages landscapes such as the Amazon. Plus it’s not the most ethical of industries. For gold miners in developing countries, the wages are low and the risks are high – especially for the estimated 600,000 children working in the industry worldwide. And gold-rich countries are often riven by war, the horrors in the Democratic Republic of Congo being a case in point. But if you’re looking at that ring in the jeweller’s … [Read more...] about Gold stars for fairness

While today the Danube river flows peacefully through Bratislava, its role in history, even relatively recently, has sometimes been anything but that, a new exhibition reveals. In the past, the river used to spill into an inner delta in the area around the Slovak capital, and it formed a border between two worlds – the West and the East. It was also the scene of bloody fighting for control over the heart of Europe.

Kellogg's has lost a legal challenge against the government over new food regulations that would stop some of its cereals being prominently displayed in shops. The maker of Coco Pops and All-Bran took legal action against the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) over the rules, which come into force this October. Under the plans, there will be restrictions on where certain types of foods can be displayed in supermarkets or on their websites. Another part of the regulations taking effect next year will ban multi-buy promotions of foods deemed high in fat, sugar or salt. Shops will not be allowed to promote these types of foods in high-profile locations such as checkouts, shop entrances and aisle ends. Advertisement Kellogg's argued the regulations are unlawful because the nutritional value of breakfast cereals will be determined by their dry weight as sold, as opposed to how they are eaten - usually with milk. Speaking in the High … [Read more...] about Kellogg’s loses legal challenge against new government food rules for high-sugar cereals

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will pledge that the UK will "do everything possible to ensure Ukraine wins the war and recovers". She will tell the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Switzerland today that the UK will support the embattled nation for the "long haul" and resist Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion. The Foreign Office said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked the UK to champion the recovery of the capital Kyiv and the surrounding region. But attempts to rebuild the area are made more challenging by Russia's ability to hit the capital with missiles as the Kremlin's forces slowly advance in the east. Ms Truss will use the conference in the city of Lugano to set out a vision to give both immediate and long-term support to Ukraine. Advertisement Other developments: In his nightly address, Mr Zelenskyy acknowledged Ukrainian forces had withdrawn from the key city of Lysychansk in the Donbas but vowed they would retake it … [Read more...] about UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss to say UK will ‘do everything possible to ensure Ukraine wins war’

Victoria and David Beckham are celebrating their 23rd wedding anniversary in July 2022. It’s hard to believe so much time has passed – and even crazier to think that their son Brooklyn Beckham and new wife Nicola Peltz just had their own lavish ceremony this past April. It was July 1999 when David and Victoria tied the knot in a stunning £750,000 event – roughly £1.2 million in 2022 – complete with iconic thrones and an epic outfit change. Here’s all you need to know about their nuptials. Where did Victoria and David Beckham get married? The Beckhams went for a Robin Hood theme for their fairytale wedding, which took place just outside of Dublin, Ireland at Luttrellstown Castle – a venue dating back to 1794. The 14-bedroom property sits on 560 acres and comes with its own golf course, while its towering stone wall surely meant they had plenty of privacy for their special day. Sticking to the theme, the decor was on point with plenty of green, purple … [Read more...] about Look back at David and Victoria Beckham’s epic £750,000 wedding with tiaras and star-studded guest list

Summer is around the corner and with the hot weather comes the reality of a sweatier, oilier face. So our makeup tends to get lighter in consistency, with foundations swapped out for skin tints and heavy powders ditched. Makeup in sheer or balmy textures becomes a blessing. While it’s not the most mask transfer-proof finish, a sheer texture is quick and easy to top up. Usually only a quick blend with the pad of a finger (over a brush and sponge) is all you need. Dominic Skinner, global senior artist at MAC Cosmetics tells Metro.co.uk these textures also allow you to experiment with playful colours in a failsafe way. Using blusher as an example, he says: ‘Bold looks always find a way to filter to the high street. ‘So a bold, yet sheer, pop of blush has its origins in fashion week but made more wearable.’ So as well as being quicker to apply and less heavy on the skin, you can afford to go brighter or more statement than you normally would, in the knowledge … [Read more...] about For easy summer makeup, sheer and balmy textures are the way to go – here are our top buys

US lawmakers are urging Google to ‘stop unnecessarily collecting’ customer location data that can be used to identify people who’ve had abortions. On Wednesday, 42 US Democrats signed an open letter to Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, cautioning him against the company’s advertising-focused digital infrastructure possibly being weaponised against women . ‘In a world in which abortion could be made illegal, Google’s current practice of collecting and retaining extensive records of cell phone location data will allow it to become a tool for far-right extremists looking to crack down on people seeking reproductive health care,’ said the letter . While Google insists on a warrant before disclosing location data to law enforcement, if abortion is made illegal by the Supreme Court , prosecutors can obtain legal warrants to ‘hunt down, prosecute and jail women’ for seeking abortions. The lawmakers pointed out that Google often shares its trove of historical location information of … [Read more...] about Warning over Google location data being weaponised to target US women seeking abortions
