Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat in the national election on Friday, saying the opposition Labour Party had won.

"The Labour Party has won this general election and I have called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory," Sunak said after winning his parliamentary seat in northern England.

"Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country's stability and future.

"There is much to learn and reflect on and I take responsibility for the loss to the many good hardworking Conservative candidates ... I am sorry." (Reuters)

Scientists capture first-ever video of the Colossal Squid in the deep sea

In a groundbreaking moment for marine biology, scientists have captured the first-ever footage of a colossal squid swimming in its natural deep-sea environment. The rare sighting marks a significant milestone in the study of one of the world’s most elusive sea creatures, nearly 100 years after it was first discovered.

The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is the largest invertebrate on Earth, capable of reaching lengths of up to 10 metres and weighing nearly half a metric tonne. It is also the largest known mollusc and possesses the biggest eyes of any known animal, measuring almost 30 centimetres in diameter.

UK set to be hotter than Hawaii with 26°C heat later this month

Forecasters are predicting that the UK could experience its warmest day of the year later this month, with temperatures set to surpass those in Hawaii. According to weather experts, Sunday, 27 April, is expected to bring highs of up to 26°C, particularly across parts of eastern England.

The rise in temperature is attributed to warm air moving eastwards from the Atlantic, which will bring a noticeable shift from the cooler conditions experienced across the UK earlier in the month. Meteorologists at Metdesk, who supply data to the weather service Ventusky, expect Norfolk and Cambridgeshire to enjoy the highest temperatures.
