In sports news, Arsenal Women Football Club has given its players a nearly 30% pay raise, but they still earn less than their male counterparts

The push for equal pay in sports continues.

The property investor Henderson Park is looking to sell the Hilton London Metropole, one of the largest hotels in the UK, for a whopping £500 million.

Stay tuned to see who the new owner will be.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Conservative Party leader William Hague have called for the roll-out of digital ID cards for all UK citizens.

Despite their political differences, the two leaders have found common ground on this issue.

In an effort to clear record levels of backlogs, the UK government has decided to scrap face-to-face interviews for around 12,000 asylum seekers and instead ask them to fill out a questionnaire.

This move has been met with both support and criticism.

Britons may continue to face a salad crisis, including shortages of tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, for up to another month due to ongoing supply chain issues.

Workers at Drax Hydro Limited, which operates power stations across Scotland, are set to go on strike in a dispute over pay.

The Unite union has announced the strike action.

Finally, a motorist fined after driving through Gatwick Airport's drop-off zone successfully challenged the fine using an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot.

This innovative use of technology could have implications for future challenges to parking fines.

That's all for now.
