More than 1.6 million Britons are set to get the 'King Kong' of fat jabs on the NHS over the next 12 years. Mounjaro - which can help users shed more than a quarter of their body weight in 18 months - should first be given to the most overweight cases, says NHS England. Injections will be offered with a 'wraparound' health plan including diet and exercise support.

Tyrese Haspil, 25, was found guilty in June of murder, grand larceny and other charges in the 2020 death of his former boss, 33-year-old Fahim Saleh. Sentencing for the former assistant took nearly two hours, as Saleh's father and sister read tearful impact statements. When Haspil finally addressed the court, he shocked many, saying: 'Unlike my counsel, I don't think anything less than life without parole would be appropriate'.

Tyrese Haspil, the personal assistant of tech CEO Fahim Saleh, claimed he beheaded his boss in a crime of passion to cover up his theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Haspil's attorney argued that he acted out of desperation, fearing his girlfriend would leave him if she discovered the theft. Despite initially planning to repay Saleh, Haspil continued stealing, leading to a confrontation and ultimately, Saleh's murder. Haspil meticulously planned the murder, but his cleanup efforts failed, leaving evidence behind. Prosecutors seek a first-degree murder conviction, while the defense argues for manslaughter due to Haspil's 'extreme emotional disturbance.'

A recent decision by watchdog the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) to block breast cancer wonder drug Enhertu is just the 'tip of the iceberg'. Leading pharmaceutical companies say around 2,000 new cancer drugs are in the pipeline, but warned changes to how they are assessed by regulators mean many are set to be rejected for use on the NHS. Haran Maheson, of manufacturer Daiichi Sankyo UK, which developed Enhertu, said: 'In many ways, trastuzumab deruxtecan - or Enhertu - is just the tip of the iceberg. 'This goes way beyond one company's individual pipeline for one particular product. It's an industry-wide issue.'

Dr Sam Roberts, a senior lecturer in psychology at Liverpool John Moores University says what people view on social media can influence their wellbeing. A UK study, presented at the British Psychological Society's Cyberpsychology Section Conference, found that there was no significant link between browsing or posting videos and images or interacting with others' posts on Instagram and levels of anxiety, depression and loneliness.

After finding a loaded firearm in his mother's purse, a three-year-old Indiana boy fatally shot his two-year-old brother. Around 7.20 p.m. on Friday night at the family's house in the 2100 block of George Street, the horrifying ordeal occurred. Neighbors told the Chicago local ABC7 that they had heard a bang. The two-year-old boy died as a result of his injuries from the shooting two years later.

It's one of the world's most popular train stations, but there's more to New York's Grand Central than meets the eye. The cavernous Beaux Arts-style commuter hub harbors a number of mystery nooks and crannies that even seasoned tourists may be surprised to learn about. For example, there's a tennis club on the fourth floor that was installed in 1966 by a Hungarian immigrant, and in another part of the building, there's a hidden cocktail bar housed in a former financier's office.

Steve-O gave an update on his longtime friend and Jackass co-star Bam Margera, who is now in drug and alcohol rehab. In an interview with SiriusXM's Faction Talk, the 48-year-old former MTV actor said that he would'never give up' on Margera, 43. "I love him and even if I didn't love him, I'm never going to give up on him because it's how it works," he told hosts Jim Norton and Sam Roberts.
