<p>If you’ve been binging<strong> Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars</strong> hosted by <strong>Top Jaw’s Jesse Burgess</strong> on <strong>Apple TV </strong>like I have, then you’ll know that any whiff of <strong>Michelin </strong>news has all of us – you, me, and every foodie out there, in an absolute chokehold right now.</p>
<h2>Michelin Guide welcomes 22 new additions across the UK</h2>
<p>Last month, the revered <strong>Michelin Guide</strong> has shone the spotlight on <strong>22 exceptional British restaurants</strong>expanding its coveted list of recommendations and reflecting the immense diversity and creativity of the UK’s dining scene. From hidden countryside gems to dynamic city hotspots, this latest intake underscores Britain’s place at the table of world-class gastronomy.</p>
<p>After watching some of Apple TV’s new show highlighting the hard work and grit that goes behind securing a star, it’s safe to say that the word of a Michelin inspector goes a long long way and the prestige of a Michelin listing owes as much to the restaurants as to the anonymity and expertise of the guide’s inspectors.</p>
<p>With these taste detectives undergo years of rigorous training, requiring at least five years’ professional sojourn in the world of food before ever slipping into their incognito roles – each decision stems from a blend of experience, discretion, and an unwavering commitment to culinary excellence making a place in the guide an accolade that chefs and foodies alike hold in the highest regard.</p>
<h2>Where to book now according to the Michelin guide</h2>
<p>The newly recommended restaurants span all corners of the UK, with significant representation from London (nine newcomers), Manchester, Leith, and beyond. Rural food lovers have reason to celebrate too. Among the highlights are:</p>
<p><strong>Eight at Gazegill by Doug Crampton (Rimington, Lancashire)</strong>: Embodying field-to-fork dining, praised for its wholesome yet refined approach.</p>
<p><strong>The Bryntirion Inn (Bala, North Wales)</strong>: An immaculate, whitewashed roadside inn celebrated for its charm.</p>
<p><strong>Coorie Inn (Muthill, Scotland)</strong>: Noted for quality seasonal produce, with fresh dishes like North Sea crab paired with cucumber, apple, and chives taking centre stage.</p>
<p><strong>London</strong> maintains its culinary clout, welcoming a host of exciting names such as<strong> The Chalkhouse, Don’t Tell Dad, Eel Sushi, Il Gattopardo, </strong>and<strong> TOWN</strong> among others. Each brings a unique spin on traditional and international flavours, pushing the boundaries of creativity and quality expected by discerning Michelin inspectors.</p>
<h2>Full list: October 2025 Michelin Guide additions with London restaurants highlighted</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Chalkhouse, London</strong></li>
<li>Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling, Newquay</li>
<li>Bangkok Diners Club, Manchester</li>
<li>Barry Fish, Leith</li>
<li>Bellota, Bury St Edmunds</li>
<li>Coorie Inn, Muthill</li>
<li><strong>Don’t Tell Dad, London</strong></li>
<li>Native, Leith</li>
<li><strong>Eel Sushi, London</strong></li>
<li>Eight at Gazegill by Doug Crampton, Rimington</li>
<li>Greyhound Inn, Pettistree</li>
<li><strong>The Leopard, London</strong></li>
<li>LI~LY by Aiden Byrne, Knutsford</li>
<li><strong>Lai Rai, London</strong></li>
<li><strong>Myrtos, London</strong></li>
<li><strong>Pippin’s, London</strong></li>
<li><strong>Rogues, London</strong></li>
<li>Stow, Manchester</li>
<li><strong>TOWN, London</strong></li>
<li>The Bryntirion Inn, Bala</li>
<li>Thomas Carr At The Coast, Scarborough</li>
<li>Tom Lawson at the Psalter, Sheffield</li>
</ul>
<p>This wave of new recommendations is a testament to the resilience, ingenuity, and passion of chefs, restaurateurs and hospitality teams across the UK. Whether you’re seeking a rural retreat or a city adventure, the <strong>Michelin Guide’s October 2025</strong> update offers plenty of inspiration for planning your next unforgettable meal.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-introduction">Introduction</h3>
<p>Logitech wasn’t exactly quick to jump on the analogue keyboard bandwagon, but is making up for that here. The G515 Rapid TKL is one of the first boards to give magnetic switches the low-profile treatment, while avoiding the bloated feature list that’d usually send prices skyward.</p>
<p>It’s based heavily on the relatively inexpensive G515 Lightspeed TKL, but swaps mechanical switches for Hall Effect ones, and trades wireless connectivity for a USB cable. Prices for the two are identical in the UK, but US gamers have to pay a small premium to go analogue.</p>
<p>However, when a big part of the appeal of magnetic switches is their near-infinite adjustability, do they actually make sense in a low-profile form factor?</p>

<p>Visually, there’s little to separate the G515 Rapid TKL from its Lightspeed stablemate. They have the same tenkeyless layout and use full-size keys, which is still unusual as many low-profile boards favour 65% or smaller. Each can be had in black or white colours, with the WASD keys being a slightly different hue.</p>
<p>Both have a super skinny 22mm profile, but this one is a lighter at 800g – I chalk that up to it not needing a battery. The all-plastic chassis also helps here, while a metal core keeps everything rigid while you hammer away at the keys.</p>
<p>Dedicated media controls and a volume rocker are still absent, so you’re reliant on the function row FN shortcuts. This would be easier if the icons for each shortcut were illuminated, but the RGB LEDs only shine through the main character on each key. The chunky plastic strip above the function keys only holds the Game mode button and Caps Lock indicator, which feels as wasted an opportunity as it was on the G515 Lightspeed.</p>
<p>The underside is mostly minimal, with a few rubber strips helping keep the board locked in place on my desk. Flip-out feet give two levels of height adjustment. It sits so low to my desk that I wasn’t worried about not getting a wrist rest included in the box.</p>
<p>Doubleshot PBT key caps are now the norm for Logitech, following issues with wear on its older ABS keyboards. The G515 Rapid TKL’s keys have a familiar textured finish that provides just enough grip, with next to no wobble while typing. After a month of use they’ve not shown any sign of fade.

<p>The G515 Rapid TKL’s reasonable asking price is largely down to the fact it’s a wired keyboard. Rivals that have wireless connectivity <em>and</em> analogue switches typically cost twice as much, if not more. Magnetic inputs draw more power than regular mechanical ones, so the built-in batteries need to be beefier to compensate. </p>
<p>Logitech has sidestepped all that by sticking a 1.8m USB Type-C to Type-A cable in the box. It’s not a fancy braided one, either, but does include a velco cable tidy to at least give you a fighting chance of keeping desk clutter to a minimum.</p>
<p>Otherwise features are basically on par with the G515 Lightspeed TKL, including per-key RGB backlighting that still hasn’t found an elegant way to illuminate the Euro symbol. Some of the larger legends, like the enter arrow and ALT GR text aren’t quite as fully lit as the rest of the board, but I’m splitting hairs at this point. It’s all fully customisable through Logitech’s G Hub software, if you’re not a fan of the long list of presets. Community-made downloads are a convenient way to mix things up, too.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-performance-switch-it-on" data-side-jump-point-text="Performance">Performance: switch it on</h3>
<p>Even before you start adjusting actuation distances, the G515 Rapid TKL’s shorter key travel will take some getting used to if you’re coming from a traditional keyboard. There’s a maximum 2.5mm here, versus the 4mm seen on most high-profile ‘boards. The keys are more tightly grouped, too. </p>
<p>That didn’t affect my typing accuracy, as I’ve long been a low-profile convert, though because they need just 35g of force to activate, I had to use a lighter touch to avoid bottoming out each key. I’m a big fan of how quiet this keyboard is, with presses sounding more like “thunks” than “clicks” thanks to multiple layers of internal damping and the switches being pre-lubed from the factory.</p>
<p>Gaming is naturally where this keyboard performs best. The magnetic switches support Simultaneous opposite cardinal direction (SOCD) inputs, letting you peek quickly in and out of cover in shooters without fully taking your fingers off the A and D keys (in games that won’t ban you for using the tech, anyway). </p>
<p>Actuation can be adjusted from the full 2.5mm to a minuscule 0.1mm, making inputs feel virtually instantaneous. You can also set individual keys to pull off different actions depending on how far down you press them – say walking for a light press on the W key, or running with a full press – but the low profile nature means there’s less room to set these up. You need a lighter touch than with a high-profile ‘board, and I’d rarely have such finesse during hectic multiplayer matches.</p>
<p>It’s also worth keeping in mind that low-profile switches put speed ahead of tactile feel, so once you’ve lowered the actuation point typing can become a bit of a chore. I found it best to have different profiles for work and gaming, with the keyboard defaulting to the maximum actuation distance during my office hours.</p>

<p>While I largely clicked with the G515 Rapid TKL, the wired connection is a personal dealbreaker. I don’t mind having to charge my Steelseries Apex Pro Gen 3 every few days when it leaves my desk clutter-free the rest of the time, even if I had to pay extra for the privilege. </p>
<p>However, if you fall in the centre of the Venn diagram of low-profile lovers and analogue switch insisters, you’ll feel right at home with one of these on your desk. It’s speedy, effortlessly customisable, and doesn’t cost silly money either.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>Chair,</p>
<p>I am delivering this statement on behalf of the following members of the Informal Group of Friends on the Safety of Journalists: Austria , Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and my own country Canada.</p>
<p>On 2 November, we marked the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. This day is an opportunity for us all to honour the courage and commitment of journalists around the world who risk—and too often lose—their lives in pursuit of truth. Their work is essential to the protection of democracy, human rights, and the public’s right to know.</p>
<p>Regrettably, and despite participating States’ commitments, journalists face an increasingly hostile environment across the OSCE region. Russia’s ongoing unprovoked and unjustifiable war of aggression against Ukraine, with the complicity of Belarus, has accelerated the deterioration of journalist safety, while authoritarian trends in the OSCE region have transformed journalism itself into a high-risk profession. Instead of protection and justice, journalists encounter harassment, censorship, and violence. These threats are often reinforced by impunity and state capture of institutions that should guarantee accountability.</p>
<p>Ending impunity for crimes against journalists requires States to take action to ensure accountability by investigating allegations of violence against journalists in a timely, impartial, and effective manner; by bringing perpetrators to justice and by ensuring that victims have access to appropriate remedies. However, far too often, we see that instead of protecting journalists and investigating the crimes committed against them, States have instead criminalised journalism itself.</p>
<p>In the context of Russia’s unprovoked and unjustifiable war of aggression against Ukraine, the reality is stark. Dozens of Ukrainian and foreign journalists have been killed, or subjected to arbitrary detention, torture and enforced disappearance by the occupying Russian forces. The latest victims – Ukrainian journalist Olena Hramova, camera operator Yevhen Karmazin and French photojournalist Antoni Lallican, who were killed in Russian drone strikes while reporting in Kramatorsk and the town of Druzhkivka, in the Donetsk Oblast, while their colleagues, correspondent Oleksandr Kolychiev and a freelance photographer, Georgiy Ivanchenko, were injured in the same attacks. We remember all those who were kidnapped, tortured and died in Russian captivity for reporting on life in the temporarily occupied territories.</p>
<p>At the same time, in Russia, the pattern is clear and chilling. Independent journalists reporting on war, corruption, and dissent have been criminalised under vague charges of extremism, “foreign agent” affiliation or dissemination of “false information” about the armed forces.</p>
<p>In Belarus, reporters and media actors face a similarly repressive environment, where criminal defamation, “extremism,” and state security offences loom large, as protections for press freedom are stripped away. Numerous journalists have been imprisoned for their profession on politically motivated charges.</p>
<p>We remain deeply concerned by the erosion of media freedom in Georgia. Once a regional leader in press liberty, the Georgian authorities are now pursuing legislation and judicial actions that undermine independent journalism. The conviction and imprisonment of journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli in August 2025 exemplifies this troubling trend. Her case reflect a broader climate of intimidation and legal pressure against media, marking a shift away from accountability and towards state-led repression.</p>
<p>These are, regrettably, only a few examples of state campaigns to intimidate journalists and stifle media freedom across the OSCE region. Taken together, these cases also reflect a grave distortion of the participating States’ commitment to end impunity. Rather than investigating and prosecuting those who assault, threaten, or kill journalists, we are witnessing the judicial and penal systems turned against the journalists themselves, while attacks on them remain unpunished.</p>
<p>In this context, the implementation of the OSCE commitments in the field of media freedom, including Ministerial Council Decision No. 3/18 on the Safety of Journalists and the work of the Representative on Freedom of the Media in this regard are crucial.</p>
<p>Ending impunity is not only about protecting journalists—it is about defending democracy. On this occasion, we reaffirm our collective commitment to uphold media freedom, protect those who speak truth to power, and ensure that justice is never silenced.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is proposing to accept remedies offered following its investigation into Greencore Group’s deal to buy Bakkavor Group.</p>
<p>Greencore is a major food manufacturer, supplier and distributor which is dedicated to the production and supply of convenience food in the UK. Bakkavor is a multinational manufacturer and supplier of fresh prepared foods across the UK, Ireland and the US.</p>
<p>Both businesses sell their products to supermarkets and grocery retailers such as Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Asda.</p>
<p>A Phase 1 investigation by the CMA found that the deal could result in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of own-label chilled sauces – such as pasta and stir-fry sauces – which could lead to higher prices for UK shoppers and/or a reduction in product quality.</p>
<p>To resolve the CMA’s concerns, the businesses have offered to sell Greencore’s only chilled sauce and soups manufacturing plant in Bristol. Having considered this proposal, the CMA believes it could resolve its competition concerns and will consult on the composition of the remedies package and the potential purchaser in due course.</p>
<p>Joel Bamford, Executive Director of Mergers at the CMA, said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The cost of our weekly shop matters to us all, so we must take decisions that ensure there is effective competition helping to keep product prices as low as possible on supermarket shelves. Our assessment found Greencore’s deal to buy Bakkavor could raise prices at the till.</p>
<p class="last-child">Following close engagement with Greencore and Bakkavor we’ve secured remedies which we believe have the potential to address our competition concerns – so we have accepted the remedies in principle today and will now work to towards a final resolution.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>More information can be found on the Greencore / Bakkavor case page.</p>
<h2 id="notes-to-editors">Notes to editors:</h2>
<ol>
<li>As part of its Phase 1 investigation, the CMA considered a range of other product lines – including Italian chilled ready meals and salads – but determined the deal would not likely lead to a substantial lessening of competition in those lines.</li>
<li>More detail on the remedies offered by Greencore will be published on the case page in due course.</li>
<li>All media enquiries should be directed to the CMA press office by email at press@cma.gov.uk or by phone on 020 3738 6460.</li>

<p>Nearly every year since 1995, the small <strong>Yorkshire town of Beverley</strong> has transformed into an enormous festive paradise with the <strong>Beverley Festival of Christmas,</strong> known as the <strong>UK’s largest one-day Christmas market.</strong></p>
<h2>UK’s largest one-day Christmas market will return this year</h2>
<p>After being cancelled in 2024 due to the severe <strong>Storm Darragh</strong>the<strong> Beverley Festival of Christmas</strong> is set to return on <strong>Sunday, December 14, 2025</strong>transforming the historic Yorkshire town into a magical Christmas shopper’s wonderland. Now in its 29th year, this flagship event for the East Riding of Yorkshire will feature more than 120 stalls in key town centre locations, including Saturday Market, North Bar Within, Wednesday Market, and Flemingate Shopping Centre, brimming with seasonal gifts, local produce, and festive treats.</p>
<p>The festival promises a dazzling array of festive entertainment for visitors of all ages. Santa and his reindeer will parade through the town centre to officially open the celebrations, joined by comedy acts, live music including traditional brass bands and carol singing, and an adorable troupe of Bernese mountain dogs. Children can enjoy Victorian fairground rides and face painting, while bird lovers will be captivated by live birds of prey displays in Coronation Gardens.</p>
<h2>East Yorkshire will play host to the Festival of Christmas</h2>
<p>New for 2025 is the Victorian Christmas Market in North Bar’s Georgian Quarter, which will showcase an array of East Yorkshire businesses and local producers. Alongside the market, visitors will find food and drink stalls, festive entertainment, and opportunities to explore the charm of Beverley’s cobbled streets and historic landmarks like <strong>St Mary’s Church and Beverley Minster.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Councillor Nick Coultish of East Riding of Yorkshire Council</strong> describes the festival as not only a hugely popular annual event attracting visitors from across the UK but also an important boost for local businesses and traders during the festive season. The event runs from 10am to 4pm, with additional Christmas-themed activities planned for the preceding Saturday market on December 13, including a free park and ride service from Beverley Racecourse.</p>
<p>The <strong>Beverley Festival of Christmas</strong> stands out as a must-visit event for anyone wanting to experience a grand, traditional British Christmas market atmosphere, complete with unique festive entertainment and community spirit in the charming town of Beverley. This return in 2025 promises to rekindle the joyful holiday spirit after the disruption of the previous year, making it a standout highlight in Britain’s winter calendar.</p>

<ul>
<li>Environment Agency investigation ends in successful prosecution</li>
<li>Quarry owners to receive £18,236.40 in compensation following incident</li>
</ul>
<p>A sentencing hearing for Philip McDowell, 38, of Willoughbridge Lodge Farm, Willoughbridge, Market Drayton, was held at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday 5 November 2025.</p>
<p>He had admitted allowing a discharge of dairy slurry into Lordsley Wood Quarry without an environmental permit at a hearing on 14 July 2025.</p>
<p>He was fined £5,300, ordered to pay compensation of £18,236.40 to the quarry owners and £14,430.34 costs to the Environment Agency. He also has to pay a victim’s surcharge of £2,000.</p>
<h3 id="compensation-to-quarry-owners">Compensation to quarry owners</h3>
<p>The judge ordered the defendant to pay compensation to the quarry owners for the costs they had incurred following the incident. Heidelberg Materials UK Limited said they had not given permission for the discharge.</p>
<p>Lordsley Wood Quarry is part of a regionally significant aquifer and has a water abstraction permit in place.</p>
<p>The court was told that the defendant was a tenant dairy farmer.</p>
<h3 id="the-incident">The incident</h3>
<p>On 8 January 2023, a witness reported to the Environment Agency that he had seen the farmer pumping slurry into the quarry.</p>
<p>Officers went to the site and found that a lagoon contained thick and dirty floating foam which smelled of cattle slurry.</p>
<p>They also observed that the slurry had spread across a significant area of the lagoon.</p>
<p>McDowell attended a voluntary interview under caution. He entered a guilty plea at a hearing in July 2025.</p>
<p>An Environment Agency spokesperson said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">We take pollution incidents very seriously and are committed to protecting our precious water resources.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">The successful prosecution of this farmer sends a clear message that we will not tolerate practices that harm the environment.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">Slurry pollution can have devastating effects on local ecosystems, and we urge all farmers/landowners to comply with environmental regulations.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">If people see environmental incidents, they should call our 24/7 hotline on 0800 807060.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="charge">Charge</h3>
<p>On 8 January 2023, Philip McDowell caused a groundwater activity, namely a discharge of dairy slurry into Lordsley Wood Quarry, except under, and to the extent authorised by an environmental permit.</p>
<p>Contrary to Regulation 38 (1) (a) and Regulation 12 (1) (b) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales Regulations 2016).</p>

<p>The Government Science and Engineering (<abbr title="Government Science and Engineering">GSE</abbr>) Profession is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 Royal Society Pairing Scheme — a flagship initiative that continues to strengthen the connection between science and policy. </p>
<p>Now in its 22nd year, the scheme represents a long-standing and successful collaboration between the <abbr title="Government Science and Engineering">GSE</abbr> Profession and The Royal Society. Together, we have supported hundreds of civil servants and researchers to build mutual understanding, foster evidence-informed policymaking, and promote the value of scientific engagement across government. </p>
<p>Each year, 30 researchers are paired with parliamentarians and civil servants for a week-long programme. Activities include collaborative workshops, shadowing placements, and a Parliamentary Reception. These are designed to build lasting networks and deepen insight into the UK’s research and policy landscape. </p>
<p>Following a successful 2025 scheme, which featured Turbo Talks, policy simulations, and a keynote from Baroness Brown of Cambridge <abbr title="Fellow of the Royal Society">FRS</abbr>, the 2026 programme promises another engaging and impactful experience. </p>
<p>Applications close on 21 November 2025. If you’re interested in applying, please fill out the application form. If you would like more information on the scheme, please contact gse@go-science.gov.uk.</p>
