More info Residents of a historic rural village have expressed their concerns about a raft of changes in their area, fearing a rise in "the 'entitled' generation driving their huge 4x4s to get 'branded' coffee".

HUMZA Yousaf has been elected as the next leader of the SNP after a fiery five-week contest. The Health Secretary saw off Finance Secretary Kate Forbes and former community safety minister Ash Regan in their bid to replace Nicola Sturgeon. Ms Sturgeon announced in February that she would resign after more than eight years in the job once her successor has been chosen.

The San Francisco corporate tech titan’s chief operating officer, Brian Millham, told Bloomberg in an interview published Friday that Salesforce could cut jobs again, pending a review of the business by the consulting firm Bain & Company. The company has been under pressure from activist investors to improve its profitability. Salesforce’s first layoff round of the year came in January , a blow for the thousands of workers who lost their jobs and a crack in the company’s kindly, familial image.

close Video Trump invokes 5th Amendment in New York probe Fox News correspondent David Lee Miller has the latest on questioning from the NY attorney general's office over the investigation into Trump's family real estate business on 'Special Report.' Former President Trump said leaks indicate that he will be arrested on Tuesday after reports that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is preparing to issue an indictment for alleged hush money payments made in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election. But investigations and talk of possible charges are nothing new for Donald Trump. Trump's presidency was clouded by investigations — several probed whether he colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election, some focused on his finances, and others led to impeachment, making him the first president in United States history to have been impeached twice. Trump’s post-presidential life is reminiscent of his days in the Oval … [Read more...] about Trump targeted: A look at probes involving the former president; from Stormy Daniels to Russia to Mar-a-Lago
