Nepal glacier collapse feared to kill thousands
A glacier collapse in Nepal sent a thirty-mile torrent of mud, rock and freezing water through the Rasuwa valley, destroying entire villages and leaving thousands feared dead. At least 33 British families in the area are uncontactable, while the official death toll stands at 150 and is rising. Hundreds of tourists' families are awaiting news as rescuers struggle with near-impossible conditions.
Harry and Meghan arrive in Britain with children
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle landed at Birmingham Airport on a private jet from California, accompanied by their children Archie and Lilibet and their dogs. The flight reportedly cost around twelve thousand dollars an hour to hire. The Sussexes had no taxpayer-funded police protection on arrival, raising questions about who will pay for their ongoing security. Their return marks a new chapter after six years living in the United States.
Tim Curry dead at 80 after long illness
Tim Curry, best known for his role as Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has died at his home in Los Angeles aged 80. Curry had faced serious health issues since suffering a stroke in 2012. He first played Frank-N-Furter on stage before starring in the 1975 film. In a CBS Sunday Morning interview last year, Curry spoke candidly about his thoughts on death and his decades-long career.
Surrogate mother sued after refusing abortion
Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed took their surrogate, McKenna West, to court in the US after she refused to abort their baby when doctors detected serious heart defects. Gilkar had previously undergone eight failed IVF attempts and a hysterectomy. Despite a contract stating she would terminate if advised, West continued the pregnancy. West discussed her decision and hopes for the baby on the Megyn Kelly Show as the legal battle unfolded.
Experts pick healthiest yoghurt in UK supermarkets
Nutrition experts have named 0 per cent fat Greek yoghurt as the healthiest option after testing six supermarket products. It scored highest for protein and lowest for calories. Low-fat natural yoghurt and flavoured yoghurt were found to be the worst choices due to artificially high sugar content. The findings settle the debate over whether low-fat yoghurts are actually good for you, with full fat Greek yoghurt remaining a popular choice among consumers.
