Concerns have been raised over care at Six Seasons Recovery, a health and addiction retreat in Western Australia’s South West run by former New Sensation Homes director Danny Coyne. Former clients say they paid tens of thousands of dollars for stays at the Yallingup Siding retreat but did not receive the care they expected.

He later declared bankruptcy and was not called to account by authorities. Six Seasons Recovery was…

Southampton’s former stadium, The Dell, has been replaced by a housing estate, with a garden marking the site of the centre circle where the club played its final match before moving to St Mary’s. Southampton had made The Dell their home in 1898, 15 years after the club was founded. Plans for a new ground gathered pace after the Taylor Report, as all-seater requirements reduced the stadium’s capacity to 15,200 — the lowest in the Premier League. The move to St Mary’s was announced in the summer of 1999, with construction beginning later that year. The Dell hosted its final…

Langford was arrested at his home in Richmond, west London, in October 2023 but did not inform the university. He remained in post while the case progressed, and his…

AI chatbots are being used by growing numbers of US voters to research candidates and ballot measures ahead of the midterm elections, prompting concerns that the technology may reinforce existing political views while appearing neutral.
