ICE is spending millions on shock gloves designed to overpower subjects through intense, localized pain. With the revelation that ICE will spend up to $20 million by March on gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks to subdue an individual, according to a notice published earlier this week by the Department of Homeland Security, it's worth looking at how this apparel, designated as a nonlethal tool for law enforcement, actually works. These shock gloves go by the unsubtle acronym of GLOVE (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter) and are manufactured by Compliant Technologies, based in Lexington, Kentucky. The GLOVE, previously used in jails and police departments in the US, looks and functions like a normal pair of patrol gloves until officers press a switch to activate an electrical mode. Classified as a CD3 (conductive distraction and de-escalation device), the gloves don't work like stun guns or Tasers, which shoot out probes or use high voltages to cause neuromuscular incapacitation that overrides the central nervous system.

A couple who drugged men seeking sexual services in order to steal from them have been jailed for killing two men and poisoning others. Adina Mihai and Madalin Dumitru admitted the manslaughter of Gary Mouat, 36, from Oxfordshire, and Malcolm King, 80, from Gloucestershire, in 2025 and 2024 respectively. The pair also each admitted two further counts of administering poison to surviving victims on the first day of their trial in June. Mihai and Dumitru were both sentenced to 17 years in prison at Oxford Crown Court. Mihai, who posed as a sex worker, and her partner Dumitru, arranged to meet men paying for services she had advertised online at their homes.

A person has been fined for using a foghorn to wake a sleeping polar bear in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, a local official said. The incident happened earlier this month after someone sounded the alarm from onboard a vessel, which was sailing in a fjord in northwestern Svalbard - about 1,000 km (620 miles) from the North Pole. On Thursday, a person - who has not been named - was fined 50,000 kroner (£3,890) over the incident, the governor of the territory confirmed. Under local regulations in the region, it is forbidden to needlessly disturb, attract or pursue a polar bear, which was declared a protected species in Svalbard in 1972. About 250 polar bears were counted in the archipelago during the last scientific estimate, carried out in 2015.

The number of homeless children in England living in temporary accommodation has risen 5% in a year to 177,530, according to new government figures. January to March saw the 18th quarterly increase in a row, although the number of children living in B&Bs has fallen. Meanwhile, the total number of households in temporary accommodation increased by nearly 4% in a year, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged to introduce the biggest council house-building programme since the postwar period. Ronesha, 31, has been living in temporary accommodation with her two sons since 2024, after being made homeless following a no-fault eviction.

Results for A-levels, T-levels, BTecs and other vocational qualifications are out. And this year, they've come at a time when all eyes are on what teenagers decide to do next. Universities are keen to get them through the door. As they grapple with their finances, they know that every filled seat in a lecture hall comes with tuition fee funding. The new prime minister, meanwhile, wants to carve out clear routes into technical jobs that can rival the well-established path of A-levels and a university degree.

Who could potentially replace White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt? The departure of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will create a major opening in President Donald Trump's administration, and the guessing-game of who will replace her has already begun. So far, the White House has not announced who will succeed Leavitt, and sources within and close to the administration said no decision has yet been made. Leavitt has worked closely with Trump for years, and finding someone to take over could prove difficult. In announcing she would step down at the end of the month, Trump called Leavitt one of his most trusted aides.

Bumble divides users by ditching its signature'women-first' chat rule Dating app Bumble has divided its users by dropping its signature rule which allowed only women to send the first message to a match. When the app launched 2014, founder and boss Whitney Wolfe Herd said it distinguished itself from rivals like Tinder by allowing women to make the first move. But the thing that made Bumble famous will now be ditched following a trial which showed more engagement - and a survey among users which found 66% of women prefer men to send the first message. Reaction across online forums has highlighted a divide among users about whether the update will get more people using Bumble - or if it makes it just like any other dating app. Previously, only same-sex relationships did not have to follow the strict women-first rule.
