Caption: Footage taken during last year’s hiking season at Hilary step (8,790m) right below the summit of Everest shows a human traffic jam which is only going to get worse. In 2026, Nepal issued a record 492 number of permits to climb Mount Everest during the spring expedition 2026. 🎥 @trektonepalofficial

Caption: Dua Lipa’s three-day wedding in Palermo, Sicily is facing backlash from locals, with some erecting posters in protest after it was claimed the city has been all but shut down for the big day. A heavy police presence has been seen around the Palazzo Gangi, and it’s thought that Sicily’s two city centre squares will be closed for the wedding, with residents asked to sign non-disclosure agreements. Locals have now been putting up posters in both Italian and English and read:’ Palermo is not for rent. Public spaces belong to everyone. Another read: ‘Our square is not your living room,’ and ‘Palermo id not for the rich.’ #celebrity #news #dualipanews

Caption: Robert Wyland has decided to sue FIFA as well as the companies managed the building that hosted his mural. The North Texas FIFA World Cup Organising Committee announced earlier May that the mural replaced was to ‘celebrate and build excitement for the upcoming World Cup 2026.’ Since the backlash, the committee declined comment and a FIFA spokesman stated ‘FIFA has no involvement in this whatsoever and refers all inquiries on this matter to the host city committee.’ Credit: @wyland @wylandfoundation

Caption: Nepali guide Dawa Sherpa was last seen descending from the summit near Camp 3 at an altitude of around 7,500 metres, with hopes of finding him alive fading as search efforts continued. But six days later, a mountain clean-up team spotted the experienced climber slowly making his way back down towards Base Camp. Despite suffering frostbite to his hands, he was found conscious and in remarkably good condition. Dawa is now recovering in a Kathmandu hospital, where family members say he is awake, talking and in good spirits. “Dawa managed to survive against all odds for days. It’s nothing short of a miracle,” said Pemba Sherpa, executive director of 8K Expeditions which was overseeing search efforts. “As far as I know, no one has survived alone at that altitude on Everest so far. This is a miracle to have survived for six days alone and descended safe. I think he must have lived inside the tents to keep himself safe.” #everest #sherpa #nepal

Caption: Are transport strikes making you healthier? Over a quarter of Londoners say they'd stick to cycling to work after tube strikes had finished, according to Lime and YouGov. Even a short daily bike ride can have all kinds of improvement for your health, including for your heart. Is it time to trade carriages for cycle lanes permanently? @phoebsgracewilliams explains #Tubestrike #Bike #Cycling #health #strike

Caption: There have been calls for legal workplace temperature limits as experts warn summer temperatures could exceed 40C again. Despite growing concerns around extreme heat, the UK currently has no maximum legal working temperature, meaning millions of employees could be expected to work in uncomfortable and potentially unsafe conditions during heatwaves. Safety campaigners say excessive workplace heat can increase the risk of heat exhaustion, dehydration, fatigue, and reduced productivity, particularly for outdoor workers and those in warehouses, factories, and offices without air conditioning. #uklife #heatwave

Caption: One of the police officers involved in handcuffing murder victim Henry Nowak has resigned after bodycam footage of the incident was released. Henry was killed by Vickrum Digwa after a night out in Southampton last December. Digwa claimed Henry had racially abused him, leading officers to handcuff the victim. Digwa has been jailed for life, but the footage has sparked protests across the UK. 🎥 @zofialouise_ #riots #protest #police

Caption: Football fans travelling to the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are being warned they could face surprise charges at bars and restaurants, with some venues planning to automatically add 20% gratuities to customer bills. Business owners say the move is designed to protect servers and bartenders from international visitors who may be unfamiliar with America’s tipping culture. The policy has sparked fierce debate online, with critics calling mandatory tips unfair while supporters argue hospitality workers rely on gratuities to make a living. #worldcup2026

Caption: Drones are reportedly being used to catch sunbed hoggers, and if you’re caught, you could be hit with a £260 fine... Police in Mallorca are said to be scanning from the air to check whether ‘reserved’ sunbeds are actually being used or not. If tourists are leaving them empty for a while, then they could face that fine. 🎥 @zofia_louise #summer #drones #holiday

Caption: A growing number of Brits are questioning whether university is still worth it. New research has found that one in three people now believe a degree isn’t worth the time and money involved. The survey also found confidence in the long-term benefits of higher education is falling, with significantly fewer people believing graduates end up better off financially than previous generations. The findings come as tuition costs rise and young people face increasing concerns over student debt, job prospects, and the value of a degree in today’s job market. #StudentDebt #HigherEducation #GenZ

Caption: A groundbreaking new cancer pill is giving hope to patients after early trials showed it could shrink tumours across six different cancer types, including lung, bowel, bladder, cervical, liver, and head and neck cancers. In trials involving patients with advanced, hard-to-treat cancers, more than a third saw their tumours shrink or stop growing. Researchers say the treatment could mark a major breakthrough for patients who have stopped responding to existing treatments. The drug is currently being tested alongside immunotherapy and experts ARE calling the findings one of the most encouraging developments in cancer research in recent years.
