The future of Sir Philip Green’s empire is hanging in the balance as industry insiders say a planned rescue may struggle to win approval from landlords. Board directors of Green’s Arcadia group, which owns a string of high-street chains including Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis, were locked in an all-day meeting on Tuesday attempting to agree a way forward for the group. Arcadia’s advisers at Deloitte are understood to be pushing ahead with plans for an insolvency process that would involve rent cuts and the closure of about 50 of the group’s 570-plus stores.

A 'missing link' between humans and our ape-like ancestors that lived around 12 million years ago has been unearthed in Bavaria, Germany. According to researchers, the bizarre creature had arms suited to hanging in trees but legs like ours — making it like an 'ape and human in one'. The discovery provides the first image of what the last common ancestor of apes and humans looked like — with fossils from this period being rare. Named Danuvius guggenmosi after a Celtic river god, the find of the broad-chested primate also pushes back the timeline for when walking on two feet began. Based on the shape of Danuvius' bones, experts have concluded that the animal moved around in a unique way, dubbed 'extended limb clambering'.
