It came after Grant Shapps suggested cyclists could be forced to have registration numbers, insurance and observe speed limits under a legal shake-up. In particular, the Transport Secretary wants cyclists to abide by 20mph speed limits in the same way motorists have to.

The couple will visit both the UK and Germany to attend multiple charity events “close to their hearts”, their spokesman announced on Monday.

The Iranian regime and its allies in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip have warned they will confront Israel if its government pushes ahead with a plan to annex parts of the Palestinian West Bank—a move considered illegal under international law and widely condemned by the international community. The new Israeli coalition government, currently led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, plans to extend Israeli sovereignty to West Bank Jewish settlements and the Jordan Valley, representing some 30 percent of all West Bank land. The annexation will be part of President Donald Trump's controversial peace plan, which has been dismissed by Palestinian leaders as an Israel-designed blueprint for permanent subjugation of the Palestinian people. In a letter sent to Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh published Tuesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said his nation would spare no effort in helping to "eliminate the evil threat posed by the fraudulent, usurping Zionist regime," … [Read more...] about Iran, proxies threaten Israel over “evil” West Bank annexation plan

A Baton Rouge company that aims to change the restaurant industry through automation got its start thanks to a bad experience at a north Louisiana McDonald’s. Speed Bancroft said an employee at a Winnsboro McDonald’s yelled at him after he tried to pay for his meal with a credit card. Bancroft said he didn’t notice the sign that said the restaurant’s credit card machine was down. “It wasn’t really a jarring experience,” Bancroft said, sitting back in a jumbled office in the Nexus Louisiana Tech Park. There's a wall-sized painting of a joystick behind his desk, a reminder that the space used to be a video game studio. “But if you’re being paid around $9 or $10 an hour, you’re not going to be happy at that level.” That led Bancroft to come up with an idea for an automated hamburger system. His thinking was by automating some of the basics of food preparation, it clears the way for restaurant operators to make more money and pay employees better wages. “By the time I got from … [Read more...] about Meet the Baton Rouge startup that has plans to open 5,000 automated pizza restaurants in the next 5 years
