GB News paused as William bombshell leaves Harry and Meghan blindsided | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

GB News paused their live coverage for a royal update. During Saturday’s coverage host Will Kingston spoke to editor-at-large for the Mail on Sunday, Charlotte Griffiths, as they reacted to Tom Bower’s claim about the future king. In a one-word bombshell it’s been suggested Prince William will “ban” his brother Prince Harry from his future coronation. Harry and Meghan Markle married in 2018 and stepped down as senior royals two years later. The royal biographer recently released his new book, Betrayal, about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. A spokesperson for the couple said Bower had “long crossed the line from criticism into fixation”. They said in a recent statement: “This is someone who has publicly stated, ‘the monarchy in fact depends on actually obliterating the Sussexes from our state of life,’ language that speaks for itself. He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met. Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where …

How Taylor Frankie Paul and ‘Bachelorette’ crossover was paused

How Taylor Frankie Paul and ‘Bachelorette’ crossover was paused

Published by Sam Flores

“The best way I can describe it is, it’s an addiction,” says Taylor Frankie Paul. The star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is seated by a window in an empty Starbucks within a downtown Salt Lake City hotel, reflecting on her relationship troubles in an interview Feb. 19. Followers of Paul’s screen life are all too familiar with the drama. Now, others can’t escape knowing about it too. Days later, a dispute with her on-again, off-again partner would lead to an investigation by police that surfaced in multiple news reports this week, and on Thursday, the release of a video recording of a separate dispute in 2023 would lead to a pause on “The Bachelorette,” her latest starring role on reality TV, three days before it was set to premiere. Her brush with fame began with #Momtok, as the self-proclaimed founder of the Utah-based group of Mormon moms that spawned the so-called corner of TikTok where they shared choreographed dance videos and light lifestyle content. But in 2022, she rose to notoriety after …

CNN paused for breaking Trump alert – and it’s a humiliating blow for President | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

CNN anchor Erin Burnett shared a breaking alert with viewers today, in a humiliating blow to US President Donald Trump, as China has been “mocking” him with videos and memes amid the ongoing Iran conflict. An AI video from Iran’s embassy in China has been going viral, with the Beijing government’s strict censors allowing videos depicting Trump as “evil” and “dishonest” to spread online. One video of animated American eagles mocking a US-hosted security summit showed how Trump is “putting other countries into a cage”. “Relax, sometimes security comes with a little control,” an eagle in a suit tells the rest of the room. CNN journalist Will Ripley, who is based in Taiwan, said: “As the war escalates, so does the trolling. President Trump’s prayer circle with religious leaders have been flooding social media. Censors are allowing a tidal wave of viral videos and memes mocking that moment in the Oval Office.” There are also cartoons in Chinese media ridiculing the rising price of oil, and, according to the CNN report, anti-US messages are spreading …

Akass referenced Davey’s decision to “boycott” the last Trump state visit after avoiding the banquet he was invited to at Windsor Castle. She reiterated that Davey has often called on the government to “stand up to Donald Trump and end their alliance on the so called ‘special relationship’”. The reporter stated that the government are currently taking more of a “Liberal Democrat approach” by not going ahead with what the US want, but she stated they have decided to “go a step further”. Davey claimed a state visit from the King would be seen as a “diplomatic coup for President Trump and should not be given to someone who insults and damages our country”. She stated that there will be people advising Keir Starmer not to “reward Donald Trump for the way he’s been talking about the UK”, but noted that cancelling the state visit would also “add oil to the flames”. However, she noted that Starmer is likely keen to smooth things over and get things back to normal. It comes as a Washington …

New Ofsted policy sees 1 in 8 inspections deferred or paused

New Ofsted policy sees 1 in 8 inspections deferred or paused

Published by skeptic

More from this theme Recent articles Ofsted deferred or paused one in eight school inspections in the first full year of a new policy aimed at lessening its impact on leaders’ wellbeing, data suggests. The current mechanism that allows school leaders to request an inspection be delayed or put on hold was introduced in January 2024, as part of a raft of reforms that responded to the suicide of headteacher Ruth Perry. A coroner ruled in late 2023 that an Ofsted inspection of Caversham Primary School in Reading had contributed to her death. New data released yesterday (Thursday) shows that between April 2024 and April 2025, more than 800 headteachers used the function, and requested their inspections be either paused or deferred. Of the 786 schools that requested a deferral, 79 per cent (621) were accepted, while all 37 requests for a pause were accepted. Schools Week analysis shows there were 5,117 school inspections over the same period. This suggests over 12 per cent were deferred or paused. ‘Exceptional circumstances’ Schools may request an inspection …

Britain has not paused Chagos Island deal ratification after US criticism

Britain has not paused Chagos Island deal ratification after US criticism

Published by Sam Flores

LONDON: Britain on Wednesday (Feb 25) rowed back from saying it had paused ratification of a deal to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago, which is home to a strategically important US-UK air base. Earlier, a foreign office minister had told parliament that the ratification process had been paused pending talks with the United States, but a spokesperson later said that was not the case. “There is no pause. We have never set a deadline. Timings will be announced in the usual way,” the spokesperson said. “We are continuing discussions with the US, and we have been clear we will not proceed without their support.” Last year British Prime Minister Keir Starmer agreed a deal to transfer sovereignty of the Indian Ocean islands to Mauritius, while keeping control of Diego Garcia through a 99-year lease that preserved US operations there. But Trump last week renewed his criticism of that deal, saying Starmer was making a “big mistake“. The bill to ratify the deal is currently in parliament’s upper chamber, where a number of objections have …

Trial into puberty blockers for children paused over ‘wellbeing concerns’ | UK News

Published by skeptic

A clinical trial into puberty blockers has been paused after the medicines regulator raised “new concerns directly related to the wellbeing of children”, the government said. It comes after campaigners, including Harry Potter author JK Rowling, launched legal action against the government over the trial, which Ms Rowling described as “an unethical experiment on children who can’t give meaningful consent”. Announcing the pause, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has raised “new concerns – directly related to the wellbeing of children and young people – and scientific dialogue will now follow with the trial sponsor”. “As the evidence is now being interrogated by clinicians, preparations for the trial have been paused while the MHRA and clinical leaders work through these concerns,” the spokesperson said. Researchers at King’s College London, who were set to lead the Pathways trial, previously said they were aiming to recruit around 226 young people aged between 10 and almost 16. Recruitment to the study will be postponed until …

What religious silence reveals when power moves faster than conscience (RNS) — Religious leaders stayed quiet after the United States seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him to New York to face drug charges — a dramatic move that scrambled political instincts and left many faith leaders unsure how to respond. As details emerged, the silence was striking. American evangelical leaders hesitated. Mainline churches paused. And then, from Rome, Pope Leo broke the quiet — calling for respect for Venezuela’s constitution, the rule of law and the dignity of its people. It was language that sounded less like pastoral concern and more like diplomacy. In this episode of Complexified, Amanda Henderson talks with Religion News Service Editor-in-Chief Paul O’Donnell about how the story unfolded in real time, why so many religious leaders waited and what made the pope’s response feel different — not just morally, but legally and politically. It’s a conversation about power exercised faster than moral consensus, about what silence signals when institutions don’t yet know the stakes and about how religion …

Ballerina Farm Has Paused Raw Milk Sales. This Is Why

Ballerina Farm Has Paused Raw Milk Sales. This Is Why

Published by skeptic

Ballerina Farm is the latest manufacturer of raw milk to halt production after reports that its milk failed safety tests. Coliform, a bacteria family that includes E. coli, was found in bottles manufactured in May and June 2025. The company, owned by lifestyle influencers Hannah and Daniel Neeleman, produces its raw milk, among other products, at a small farm in Kamas, Utah, where it also has a farm stand. They also own another farm store in Midway, Utah, but that location reportedly was not selling raw milk. According to KPCW, Ballerina Farm had to pause production of its raw milk after a routine health inspection by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF). This occurred just a few months after it started selling the raw milk at the Kamas farm stand, and a spokesperson from Ballerina Farm told KPCW that the farm is currently only selling pasteurized milk. “Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint,” Ballerina Farm said in a statement on Jan. 29, per KPCW. “Unfortunately, we learned …
