A Four In A Bed viral clip has been praised by viewers after hotel owner Saban revealed he deliberately overpaid for a rival stay to prevent another pair from winning the Channel 4 competition. The programme sees four hotel or bed and breakfast owners visit one another’s establishments before scoring their experiences and paying what they believe each room is worth. The property with the highest score compared with its actual prices wins. In the episode, Saban paid £500 for a stay at Mark and Anne’s B&B – £220 more than the room’s stated price. He initially suggested that the…

AI translation and language-learning apps can help people acquire vocabulary and manage basic exchanges, but they cannot by themselves deliver proficiency in another language, according to language educator Todd Hughes. Hughes, 64, can read a Danish novel with little difficulty. Yet conversations with native Danish speakers remain far more challenging, exposing the gap between speaking smoothly and being able to understand and respond when an exchange moves beyond familiar territory. “For me, it’s a question of skill and a question of ability over a question of flow,” Hughes said. He distinguishes fluency, which describes the speed and ease of speech,…

Australia could build a new oil refinery for the first time since the 1960s, according to energy analyst Saul Kavonic, who says heightened security risks have strengthened the case for domestic fuel production. The assessment comes six weeks after the Federal and Western Australian governments announced an initial study into constructing a large-scale petrol refinery. “I think there’s a very real chance that Australia builds a new refinery,” said Mr Kavonic, of Sydney-based MST Financial. He said the changing global security environment had made sovereign supply chains, particularly in fuel, a national security concern. “The risk and conflict scenarios ahead…

The Dolphins have hit the front against the Warriors after Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow finished a stunning counter-attacking move, giving the visitors a 20-16 lead with 11 minutes remaining. Tabuai-Fidow collected a Warriors kick, initially drifting left before bursting past Jacob Laban to break the line. He then combined with Herbie Farnworth, who lifted a pass back inside for Tabuai-Fidow to complete the long-range try. The Warriors had earlier stopped one Dolphins set when Taine Tuaupiki brought down Kulikefu Finefeuiaki on the final tackle. But the Dolphins needed no further tackles on their next possession, with their latest attack putting them ahead.…

Russia has increased the number of nuclear warheads deployed on missiles and bombers to 1,796, a nine-year high, as Vladimir Putin warned that any Nato deployment of troops to Ukraine would mean war with Russia. The stockpile rose by 78 over the past year, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Russia has increased its deployed warheads every year since the war in Ukraine began in 2022. The United States recorded no increase, while Britain and France did not deploy additional warheads. Their respective totals were 170 and 280. Speaking at the BRICS summit in New Delhi, Mr Putin…

Emily Ratajkowski made a striking appearance at the Calvin Klein fashion show during New York Fashion Week on Friday, arriving in an all-white ensemble that drew attention on the star-studded guest list.

Luke Jackson produced another decisive third-quarter burst at Optus Stadium, helping Fremantle overturn Geelong’s momentum and establish a 16-point lead in their 2026 AFL semi-final. The Dockers had watched the Cats recover from 31 points down and take the lead after Jeremy Cameron’s second goal. Jackson then took control, just as he had done for Melbourne in the 2021 grand final at the same venue. Five years ago, Jackson was only 30 games into his AFL career and had recently won the AFL Rising Star award. With the Western Bulldogs threatening to break Melbourne open, Max Gawn urged coach Simon…

Air Force One landed at Dublin Airport early on Saturday, where the US president was met by Finance Minister Simon Harris. Mr Trump stepped on to a red carpet before entering a waiting motorcade, saluting officials and security personnel gathered at the airport. His programme includes engagements in Dublin and at his golf resort in Doonbeg, Co Clare, where the Irish Open is being held.…

Kelly Osbourne and her mother Sharon are reportedly barely speaking, with political differences said to have deepened a growing rift within the family following Ozzy Osbourne’s death. The pair had appeared inseparable since the Black Sabbath singer died in July 2025, supporting one another through their grief and attending this year’s Brit Awards together to accept his posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award. But Kelly, 41, is now said to be distancing herself from both Sharon and her older brother Jack while establishing a new life in the UK with her three-year-old son, Sidney. Friends and sources close to the family claim…
