art’otel Hoxton hotel review: Cool Britannia in building form

A café slash brasserie mix, it does an excellent a la carte breakfast, and (when the sun goes down) boasts a very Continental-inspired menu. Take a seat here and work your way through a burrata, tomato and basil oil starter, a truly enormous serving of moules frites and finish with a monkfish chop, fresh from the grill (a meal for two costs around £100). It’s comfort food done well, but still — if Joia at art’otel Battersea is anything to go by, we’re in for a treat when the signature restaurant opens. Source link

Russia struggles to repel Ukraine’s deep Kursk incursion

By Jaroslav Lukiv and James Waterhouse, BBC News An image released by the Kursk Region Governor shows damage in the town of Sudzha on 6 August 2024, caused by shelling from Ukranian forces in Russia's Kursk Region. Photo: AFP / Governor of Kursk Region Ukrainian troops remained in Russia's western Kursk region on Friday night, as its surprise cross-border offensive into Russia came to the end of a fourth day.

Reports suggest that Ukrainian troops are operating more than 10km inside Russia - the deepest cross-border advance by Kyiv since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of U...

How to wash your winter woollen jumpers at home according to textile experts

Textile experts say it is best to hand-wash a woollen jumper. Photo: 123RF By Anna Chisholm, ABC News Do you have a woollen jumper you've been giving a precautionary whiff before throwing back on again? It is often tempting, and even advised, to outsource cleaning to the local dry cleaner. It can help you dodge the risk of shrinking your jumper, but it can also be expensive. Senior textile conservator at Artlab Australia, Kristin Phillips, said woollen jumpers will "last indefinitely" if you look after them. "You just have to be careful," she said. How to wash your wool Use wool-specific detergent. Most garments have a care label that you can refer to for specific instructions, as well as information about the fabric's composition. When it comes to wool, Phillips said "anything that's v...

Trump’s scary helicopter trip did not happen, says ex-mayor

Trump claimed he and Willie Brown talked about Kamala Harris. Photo: CHIP SOMODEVILLA / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP San Francisco's former mayor Willie Brown has dismissed as "fiction" Donald Trump's story that they once endured a scary helicopter trip together. The former president said on Thursday that he and Brown "went down" in a helicopter together and Brown was "a little concerned". "We thought maybe this was the end," Trump said. "We were in a helicopter... and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing." Brown, 90, told US media he had never shared a helicopter with Trump, adding: "I don't think I'd want to ride on the same helicopter with him". Trump, 78, appeared to be confusing Brown with Jerry Brown, California's former governor, wi...

Saliva tests better than blood tests to detect respiratory infections in kinds

Saliva tests can more accurately determine the severity of recurrent respiratory infections in children than the standard blood test, a new study shows on Thursday. Conducted by researchers from Radboudumc Amalia Children`s Hospital and UMC Utrecht Wilhelmina Children`s Hospital, Netherlands, the study reveals that low levels of broadly protective antibodies in saliva are linked to an increased likelihood of pneumonia episodes in children. This method offers valuable diagnostic information and is more comfortable for children. Recurrent respiratory infections affect 10-15 per cent of children. Typically, paediatricians rely on blood tests to identify antibody deficiencies as an underlying condition, though these tests often yield limited results. "This is challenging for paediatricians ...

Olympics 2024: Storms raged inside me during viral image – Yusuf Dikec

Photo: ALAIN JOCARD / AFP Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec may have gone viral for his calm and casual demeanour at the Paris Olympics but what he was feeling inside was quite the opposite. Dikec's nonchalant pose, with his non-shooting hand casually tucked into his pocket, sparked a flurry of memes on social media as he won silver alongside Sevval Ilayda Tarhan in the mixed team 10-metre air pistol event. But the 51-year-old said: "At that moment, everyone says I seemed very calm, but actually, storms were raging inside me.
