Aberdeen has launched a city-centre revival initiative intended to respond to a struggling high street and reconsider how the centre should function as retail habits change.
The choices made about vacant shops, housing, transport, public space, and rents will determine whether residents gain a usable centre or merely a polished image of former prosperity.
Inmo recalled about 1,600 Air3 smart glasses sold in the United States after regulators warned that an arm could overheat during extended use and create a burn hazard.

Pope Leo XIV met seven adult clergy-abuse survivors for two hours in Lourdes, France, thanked them for their testimony, and reaffirmed a commitment to prevent further abuse.

President Donald Trump’s administration proposed removing race and ethnicity from the 2030 US census, while no equivalent replacement measure has been identified.

Online wellness communities are promoting nicotine pouches, patches, and combinations with caffeine or nootropics for focus, mood, brain health, and longevity despite weak support for those broad claims.

A Deloitte survey of 25,000 UK workers found that one in six workplace generative-AI users paid for at least one tool personally, contributing to an estimated $1.3 billion in annual spending.

Permanent confinement could reduce break-ins for residents but impose lifelong welfare costs on baboons without resolving the habitat and food pressures driving other troops into the city.
Eight gunmen killed 17 people in Wedela township, while another group killed 10 at a Lwandle venue near Cape Town; police reported no arrests in either case.
Failure to trace the rifles, protect witnesses and prosecute the attackers would leave the firearm networks behind both crimes free to supply further violence.
Northern Ireland’s High Court allowed a 35-member Orange Order procession to pass along Portadown’s mainly Catholic Garvaghy Road for the first time in 28 years.
The ruling revives a route associated with violence and major security operations, putting residents, marchers, and police inside a dispute the legal decision did not reconcile.
Daniel Ortega’s government granted Chinese mining companies dozens of concessions covering roughly one tenth of Nicaragua, according to the Financial Times.
The grants could place roads, forests, water sources, and communal land under long-term industrial pressure while leaving residents exposed to displacement and cleanup costs.
De Beers chief executive Al Cook is betting that renewed interest in natural products will support mined-diamond demand against cheaper lab-grown stones.
If technology removes material scarcity from the stone, De Beers must persuade buyers that mined origin, provenance, and resale expectations justify a lasting price premium.
US midterm candidates are blaming private-equity landlords for high housing costs as Financial Times analysis examines institutional ownership of homes.
