MOST bosses want staff back in the office rather than working from home, a business chief says. Companies have put up with workers only going in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — if at all. And Tony Danker, the director general of the Confederation of British Industry, said the world of work had “gone crazy” since the pandemic . Mr Danker, whose group represents 190,000 businesses, told a BBC podcast: “You ask most bosses — everybody secretly wants everyone to come back into the office. “I just don’t think that’s going to happen overnight. I think we are all coping with this but we’re going to be talking about this for a few years.” Around 38 per cent of workers are still doing so from home, according to official figures.

Memphis police video leaves many unanswered questions
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 30 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The nation and the city of Memphis struggled to come to grips Saturday with video showing police pummeling Tyre Nichols — footage that left many unanswered questions about the traffic stop involving the Black motorist and about other law enforcement officers who stood by as he lay motionless on the pavement. The five disgraced Memphis Police Department officers, who are also Black, have been fired and charged with second-degree murder and other crimes in Nichols’ death three days after the arrest. The video released Friday renewed questions about how fatal encounters with law enforcement continue even after repeated calls for change.

Despite his terrible injuries, father-of-three Hari has set his sights on climbing Everest, the world’s highest mountain at 29,032ft, to coincide with the King’s Coronation .

We’ve been ordered to stop using our luxury barn by council after neighbours complained we’re too noisy – we’re furious
A COUPLE have been ordered to stop using their luxury barn after neighbours complained they were too noisy. Victoria and Richard Kerrison have been told by their local council to shut down their holiday lets after 10 years.

According to North Norfolk District Council, the countryside rentals were operating without the required planning permission. Courtyard Barn and Pear Tree are up for £800 per night - which the couple were given permission for. However, the site also has a bed and breakfast called The Orangery.

Asteroid 2022 GN1 ‘close approach’ LIVE – New Nasa space rock SOARS past Earth – watch stream live
A SCHOOLBUS-SIZED asteroid has made a very close approach to Earth Thursday night, according to space object trackers. Astronomers only spotted the near-Earth space rock 2022 GN1 a few days ahead of its head-turning flyby on Tuesday evening. Nasa has logged the 16-meter-long mass on its "close approach" online database , though it poses no danger to our planet. The asteroid soared past at a safe distance of around 79,000 miles (127,000 km). That may sound like a considerable gap but is remarkably close in space terms, as it is around a third of the space between Earth and the Moon. The Virtual Telescope Project, a set of robotic scopes in Italy, live-streamed Tuesday's flyby on its website . The live feed kicked off at 9pm ET on Tuesday.
