The last surviving man from a ghost village has returned for a farewell visit to the settlement, which was evacuated during World War II. For 81 years after the army commanded it during the war, the tiny Isle of Purbeck settlement has been deserted. Peter Wellman, 99 (pictured at the village) has returned to Tyneham, Dorset, which was evacuated just before Christmas 1943 to allow the army to extend its ranges. Around 250 people were evicted from the valley farms, but they promised to return if Hitler had been seen off. They were never allowed to return. Although still on MoD land, Warbarrow Bay's historic buildings and the walk to the beach are open to the public for 160 days of the year, marking a moment in time when it was frozen.

It is one of the most iconic and memorable photographs from the Second World War, with Maori infantrymen bristling with warrior spirit, mid-haka in Egypt in 1941. The soldiers from the celebrated 28th (Mori) Battalion of the 2nd New Zealand Division look well groomed but fearful and fearful, ready for any enemy. They lived up to the vigor captured in the picture after six bloody years of war.

In a £2.7 million conflict, Lidl has discredited my company, according to the boss

Proctor & Associates' founder and managing director Deane Proctor is fighting a David and Goliath war against the company, which has been steadily growing in the United Kingdom. He claims he was stabbed in the back by Lidl, which has cancelled or slashed orders with insufficient warning and sued his own suppliers from under his nose. The situation, according to industry experts, is significant because it puts the effectiveness of the Groceries Supply Code of Practice into question, which was introduced amid complaints that supermarkets were bullying their suppliers.

Carol Kane, 56, (pictured) sold Interior Designer Mark White 13.3 million Boohoo shares, indicating that he owns less than half of the company, meaning he owns around 11% of the company.

In the House of Commons, the Extinction Rebellion assembles around Speaker's Chair

After a group of Extinction Rebellion environmental campaigners superglued themselves hand in hand around the Speaker's Chair, Scotland Yard raised concerns about its protection for the Houses of Parliament today. After booking onto a formal Parliament tour, three demonstrators stood around the chair in a chain, and it turned into a speech about how'what goes on in this chamber every day makes a joke out of us all.' Two other protesters stood behind the House of Commons and waved "let the people decide" and "citizens assembly now," while another scaffolded outside and held a banner. The Parliamentary Security Department, which coordinates security vetting and permits, is in charge of providing armed and unarmed policing, as well as a Metropolitan Police Division, which provides armed and unarmed policing. The incident took place five years after PC Keith Palmer, a child who was shot and killed in March 2017, when he blocked knife-wielding insurgent Khalid Masood from entering Westminster but died as a result of his wounds. A group of three men and three women performed a song with the lyrics: "Take back the Commons / snap the padlock, break the chains" / Take back the Commons. / Raise a glass to Thomas Paine. This group was then led out of the building by police officers who were singing another song. Now, here, now, and forever / We need to act, high impact, and protest.'
