Plans for a groundbreaking rare earths refinery in East Yorkshire have been abandoned, after the company behind the project decided to seek investment in the United States instead. Pensana has spent the past seven years developing a rare earths mine in Angola. The $268m (£185m) project, one of the largest of its kind in the world, will begin delivering raw materials in 2027. The company had planned to build a refinery at the Saltend Chemicals Plant near Hull, which would have processed the raw materials into metals used to create powerful magnets. These magnets would then be used in high-tech applications such as motors for electric vehicles, wind turbines and robotics.

The 1,400-year-old'bingo' is the oldest known facility of its kind. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday.

At over 1,400 years old, the underground facility offers an unprecedented look into feudal Korean culture's architectural complexities and advancements.

Sharon Osbourne has said it would be amazing if Birmingham Airport was renamed in honour of her late husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. The TV personality has given her support to a campaign to call the airport Ozzy Osbourne International, which was launched by podcaster and comedian Dan Hudson after the Black Sabbath singer died at the age of 76 in July. More than 70,000 people have signed a petition backing the idea, which Hudson said was inspired by airports being named after famous figures such as John Lennon. It would be amazing, Osbourne said of a potential rebrand. It's just a dream right now, but sometimes dreams come true.

India casts doubt on Trump's claim Modi will stop buying Russian oil India's foreign ministry has said it is not aware of a phone call in which US President Donald Trump claimed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to stop purchasing Russian oil. On Wednesday, Trump said his Indian counterpart had assured me today that it would end Russian oil imports, a move the US has pushed for in a bid to increase economic pressure on the Kremlin to end the war in Ukraine. But asked about the call on Thursday, an Indian government spokesman cast doubt on Trump's account, saying he was not aware of any conversation between the two leaders taking place the previous day. The Indian government had earlier said discussions were still ongoing with the US over its Russian oil purchases. India has become a key energy customer for Russia since the outbreak of the war, partly allowing the Kremlin to withstand the impact of Ukrainian allies slashing oil and gas imports, the country's biggest export market.

Will Hamas agree to hand over its weapons? Has another Nakba been averted? 'When the bombs in Gaza stop, the true pain starts' The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas brought thousands of people back to their homes in Gaza City, to assess the damage, see what can be salvaged, and start to rebuild. In Jabalia, Sheikh Radwan, Abu Iskandar and beyond, people returned to flattened neighbourhoods, and to the knowledge that, still among the rubble, some of the explosive robots that had caused it sat, silent and undetonated. The "robots" had become a common fear in northern Gaza since the Israeli army first used them on Jabalia refugee camp in May 2024.

Former GOP operative Scott Leiendecker just bought Dominion Voting Systems, giving him ownership of voting systems used in 27 states. The news last week that Dominion Voting Systems was purchased by the founder and CEO of Knowink, a Missouri-based maker of electronic poll books, has left election integrity activists confused over what, if anything, this could mean for voters and the integrity of US elections. The company, acquired by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican Party operative and election director in Missouri before founding Knowink, said in a press release that he was rebranding Dominion, which has headquarters in Canada and the United States, under the name Liberty Vote "in a bold and historic move to transform and improve election integrity in America" and to distance the company from false allegations made previously by President Donald Trump and his supporters that the company had rigged the 2020 presidential election to give the win to President Joe Biden. The Liberty release said that the rebranded company will be 100 percent American owned, that it will have a "paper ballot focus" that leverages hand-marked paper ballots, will "prioritize facilitating third-party auditing," and is "committed to domestic staffing and software development." The press release provided no details, however, to explain what this means in practice.

Can Ukraine restore its pre-war borders? Why are Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine a'red line' for Russia? Is Russia testing NATO with aerial incursions in Europe? EU discusses'drone wall' to protect airspace from Russian violations The European Commission is in discussions to adopt a new counter-drone initiative to protect European Union airspace from Russian violations, as it seeks to strengthen border security with its own advanced drone technology after a string of drone incursions were reported in a host of EU and NATO member countries over the past month. The proposal, which was included in a defence policy "roadmap" presented on Thursday, will aim for the new anti-drone capabilities to reach initial capacity by the end of next year and become fully operational by the end of 2027, according to a draft of the document.

The original 2004 movie followed the final 12 hours of Jesus Christ's life, and starred Jim Caviezel, 57, as Christ. However, The Resurrection of the Christ -- which takes place three days after Christ's crucifixion on Good Friday -- will now star Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen, 36, in the role of Christ.
