Firms told to publish salaries in job adverts ahead of new law
Businesses should publish salaries in job adverts now, Prime Minister Andy Burnham is telling firms, rather than wait for a new law to come in that will force them to do so. The government is planning to make pay details compulsory in adverts, with legislation on the issue being brought forward as soon as possible. It argues the change will help jobseekers, particularly those applying for their first job, and could help prevent pay discrimination. However, one industry group said setting pay was a complex process and regulating adverts was not always suitable. It comes a week after the UK's equality watchdog said employees should legally be able to find out what their colleagues are earning .

Huntingdon train attack passengers thought stabbing was a 'joke'
Passengers thought mass train attack'was a joke' Some train passengers initially remained sitting down and thought a man was joking after he told people I've been stabbed, run, a court has heard. Anthony Williams stabbed 10 people on the train which made an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on 1 November last year. Cambridge Crown Court heard the first person who was stabbed, Jonathan Gjoshe, later asked hospital staff am I going to die today?. Williams, 33, of Langford Road in Peterborough, denies 10 counts of attempted murder, and four other alleged attempted murders in earlier incidents in Peterborough and London. Jurors have seen CCTV footage of Williams' attack, which took place on the York to London King's Cross LNER service, after it had left Peterborough.
Fatal Stonehaven train derailment could have been avoided if drain built correctly, says sheriff
A train derailment which resulted in the deaths of three men could have been avoided if a drain had been built correctly, a sheriff has concluded. Driver Brett McCullough, 45, conductor Donald Dinnie, 58, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury, 62, died in the crash at Carmont, near Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire, in August 2020. The train derailed after hitting debris which had washed from the drain following heavy rain. After a fatal accident inquiry (FAI), Sheriff Lesley Johnston said it was not constructed and installed in accordance with its design, and found there were precautions which could have been taken which might realistically have avoided the accident. It follows the Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) making 20 safety recommendations in its report back in 2022 into the crash. That report had also highlighted the drainage system being incorrectly installed.
