UK experiences warmest start to May on record

The UK has experienced its warmest start to May on record, with temperatures soaring and sparking concerns over climate change. According to the Met Office, Kew Gardens in south-west London recorded 29.3°C on Thursday afternoon, surpassing the previous May 1 record high of 27.4°C set at Lossiemouth in Moray in 1990. This makes May 1, 2025, the hottest on record since records began in 1860.

Thursday also marked the hottest day of the year so far, surpassing Wednesday’s high of 26.7°C recorded in Wisley, Surrey. While some may welcome the unseasonably warm weather, others have warned that such temperatures, coupled with below-average rainfall for four consecutive months, are indicative of concerning climate trends.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori accuse celebrity dentist of fuelling nitrous oxide dependency

Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori are taking legal action against a Beverly Hills-based celebrity dentist, accusing him of dangerous conduct that allegedly harmed West’s health, finances and well-being. The couple claims Dr Thomas Connelly, known for his luxury cosmetic work, irresponsibly administered large quantities of nitrous oxide to the rapper, leading to addiction and serious neurological side effects.

Legal documents from West's lawyers say that during multiple procedures in 2024 and early 2025, Connelly not only used nitrous oxide but supplied the gas in industrial-sized tanks directly to West’s home, including the one he shared with Censori. Even more alarming, the dentist allegedly taught West how to self-administer the gas without medical supervision and continued to provide it even after signs of mental distress became clear.
