MERCEDES have released images of the car they hope will power Lewis Hamilton to a record eighth world title. Hamilton , who is currently tied on seven with Michael Schumacher, will be going all out in 2021 to move into a class of his own. The Brit already has the most wins (95), pole positions (98) and podium finishes (165) in F1 and can now go on to become the undisputed champ.

BBC journalist Martin Bashir will not face a criminal investigation over documents related to his interview with Princess Diana, the Metropolitan Police says. It had been alleged the journalist forged bank statements in order to secure the landmark Panorama interview with the Princess of Wales in 1995. But in a statement, the Met said officers had sought legal advice from internal lawyers, independent counsel and the Crown Prosecution Service and determined it was "not appropriate" to launch a criminal probe. The documents were alleged to have been used to falsely show payments were made to members of royal staff in exchange for information about the princess. Diana's younger brother Earl Spencer has said he was shown the documents and went on to connect his sister with Bashir - something the earl says he would not have done had he not been misled.

Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, is axing a star-studded committee of business leaders appointed to advise on the government's progress in delivering its industrial strategy just two-and-a-half years ago. Sky News has learnt that Mr Kwarteng, who took over from Alok Sharma earlier this year, notified the 16 members of the Industrial Strategy Council on Wednesday that their services were no longer required. He said the government had "decided to mark a departure from the Industrial Strategy brand", implying that the department he runs - Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy - is likely to face yet another renaming in the coming months. The Industrial Strategy Council, which was launched in November 2018 by Greg Clark, the then business secretary, is chaired by Andy Haldane, the Bank of England's chief economist. Its members include Vivian Hunt, who runs McKinsey's UK operations, Sir Charlie Mayfield, former chair of the John Lewis Partnership, and Lady … [Read more...] about Kwarteng axes star-studded Industrial Strategy Council with hint at BEIS rebranding

MOVIE director Jared Hess was just six years old when a series of bombings rocked the Mormon Church in America. He was living in London, his dad was bishop of the Hyde Park Ward of Latter-day Saints, and Jared had no idea then that events halfway around the world would hang over his life. Two people were killed, a community was terrified and a global movement was questioned - yet few of those involved have spoken about it since. Now Jared, the man behind comedy films Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, has made a groundbreaking Netflix series about the story behind the killings in Salt Lake City, Murder Among the Mormons. It’s hard to imagine the fear that enveloped the Mormon church at the time. It’s this atmosphere of terror that the three-part documentary, produced by BBC Studios, attempts to capture with grainy original footage from the time. Jared, who has served a mission for the church and became interested in the bombings as a teen, said : “People were … [Read more...] about Netflix’s Murder Among the Mormons tells shocking true story of Salt Lake City bombings, polygamy and angels
