MORRISONS has made a major change to more than 200 of its fresh food products, including some Christmas favourites. Stores across the country have been getting rid of date labels and removing display until labels in an effort to prevent food waste . The supermarket giant has already started ditching the dates in a bid to encourage customers to use their own judgement about when food has gone off. It comes after Morrisons came under fire after it decided to scrap "use-by" dates on milk - asking customers to use a sniff test to check if it had gone off. The change also affects Christmas dinner favourites, such as carrots and Brussels sprouts. Some items will have their dates removed completely, such as bananas, watermelon and pineapple.

Cops in the US have backtracked on a wild proposal to introduce killer crime-fighting robots fitted with live ammunition. Last Wednesday, November 30, police watchdogs on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rules Committee backed a proposal by the SFPD allowing it to use robots with 'lethal force' against suspects where needed. The SFPD currently has 12 remote-controlled bomb defusal robots. They wanted permission to retrofit these with live ammunition or explosives for use in instances when human officers would struggle to apprehend a suspect.

Just off the coast of Japan there is an island where hundreds starved or died from exhaustion in poor working conditions before it was abandoned and reclaimed by Hollywood A-listers. Lying nine miles off Japan's coast near the city of Nagasaki, Hashima Island is one of the planet's spookiest locations. Its population is zero, but when it comes to ghosts the island has hundreds after more than 1,000 inhabitants brought there under slave labour conditions during the 1930s and World War 2 died.

A state in Brazil has been gripped by mystery as several cows were found lying dead on beaches throughout the area. Three cows were found in and around Guaratuba, on the coast of Paraná, a state in southern Brazil, leading city officials to question how they got there.
