Aldi’s first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork. By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices. As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi's popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious. The supermarket giant continued it’s expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores. By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country. The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers. In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland. The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products. Aldi chiefs said: “At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand. “To date, we’ve invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers. “As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.” Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.
A hospital in the West Midlands has introduced technology which it claims could be a "game changer" for improving cancer care. University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) says it's the first hospital in the world to expand the use of a new scanner known as 'Aura-10'. The machine checks whether all cancer has been removed from patients who have the disease in either their head or neck, while they are still on the operating table. UHCW said it was also the first centre in the UK to use Aura-10 to treat prostate cancer. Aura-10 combines a CT scanner and a PET scanner in a small mobile unit. It can produce high-resolution submillimetre images of the cancer in a tumour in 10 minutes.

It's possible that the machine could reduce a patient's need for chemotherapy or radiotherapy in the future.

Thank you to Amazon UK and the amazing team at the Sutton Coldfield depot for their support. Donald MacDonald, a urology consultant at the trust, has been using the Aura-10 for prostate cancer operations. He told the BBC that the machine is an "absolute game changer for prostate cancer surgery". He said that, in about a quarter of cases nationally, not all the prostate cancer is removed. Patients in those cases had to have radiotherapy to remove the remainder. Mr MacDonald said that, with Aura-10, he could be certain that all the cancer was gone. The equipment costs around £250,000 but it could save money in the long run when considering staff shortages in histopathology and that it would mean further treatment would be required much less. Oludolapo Adesanya, clinical lead for nuclear medicine and the trial's principal investigator, added: "This is still a trial, and we are about halfway through, but we are really excited about the results. They appear to be as good as the pathology labs and, in future, this could be used in a lot more areas of cancer care."

Michael MacDonald, The Canadian Press Dec 13, 2024 1:30 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message An aerial photo of St. Bernard Roman Catholic Church in St. Bernard, N.S., on the province’s southwestern coast, is seen in an undated handout photo. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Travis Baker, *MANDATORY CREDIT* HALIFAX — The Roman Catholic Church in southwestern Nova Scotia has filed a lawsuit against two Acadian groups trying to save a huge, deconsecrated church. The Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Yarmouth says Heritage Saint Bernard and Nation Prospere Acadie Inc. have fallen behind in their mortgage payments and owe $200,000 for their purchase last year of the former Saint Bernard Church. The massive building in St. Bernard, N.S., is a historic landmark along the province's Acadian shore. Construction began in 1910 under the leadership of Rev. Edouard LeBlanc, who in 1912 became the Roman Catholic Church's first ever Acadian bishop. The 1,300-square-metre church southwest of Digby, N.S., opened in 1942 after local workmen spent three decades assembling the massive structure from 8,000 granite blocks. But the years have taken a toll on the building, and the number of people attending mass shrunk to the point where the church was closed in 2022. The surrounding parish in the Municipality of Clare now includes about 250 people. The church used to seat more than 1,000 people during a weekend mass. "It's hard enough to try to save this building without the diocese putting sticks in our wheels," Jean LeBlanc, president of Heritage Saint Bernard, said in an interview Friday. "It's been an iconic structure on the shores of St. Marys Bay. We're trying to repurpose it for the community and the diocese is saying no, we want it back." LeBlanc said the two groups succeeded in making the first $50,000 mortgage payment in July 2023, but they failed to pay the next $50,000 instalment in August 2024. He said the groups had raised another $40,000, but much of that money was used to repair the building's doors and leaking roof. "If we didn't spend that $40,000 we couldn't have gotten in the church," LeBlanc said, adding that local residents remain worried it will eventually be sold off and possibly demolished. At a meeting in May with Archbishop Brian Joseph Dunn, the groups asked to renegotiate the mortgage. Those requests led nowhere and the corporation filed its lawsuit with the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia on Oct. 30. On Friday, the archdiocese issued a statement saying it had received more than 100 offers for the property, which it valued at $250,000. The statement says the non-profits were chosen as the winning bidder because "it would be a means to preserve the building and its historic and cultural value to the Acadian people." The statement goes on to say Dunn made the decision after consulting with the local parish, which would get the money from the sale. "Because this money goes directly to the local community in Clare through ... the local parish, the archdiocese could not accept less than the amount originally agreed upon," the statement says. "After reaching out to (the non-profits) and waiting several months for payment to be made, it was decided to take legal action." LeBlanc says the two groups are still seeking more time to pay or easier terms. "We were trying to negotiate with them, but they kept saying, no, no, no," he said. "I don't know why they want to do something like this." LeBlanc said the next step is finding a lawyer. "We're hoping to avoid going to court because that would be a very long and expensive process," he said. "Hopefully, we can reach a settlement."

Most Australians feel they are poorer now than they were three years ago, as a poll reveals widespread dissatisfaction with the Albanese government’s priorities. A new Redbridge poll found 52 per cent of those surveyed either disagreed or strongly disagreed with the proposition that the government has the right focus. 40 per cent of voters said Peter Dutton was ready for office, slightly more than the 39 per cent who said he was not. Asked on Seven’s if the polling meant Australia was “in the mood for change”, Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said the government was focused on the cost of living, while the Coalition was blocking bills. Directing her comments to Liberal senator Jane Hume, Rishworth said: “You’ve voted against our housing bills. Blocked our cost of living measures. Fought against our energy price measures. Everything we’ve done, the Liberal Party have fought against it...” Hume repeatedly interjected Rishworth’s response, asking “Where have you been for 21⁄2 years?” “You spent a year concentrating on the Voice referendum,” she quipped. Meanwhile, on Nine’s , Nationals senator Matt Canavan also responded to the poll, saying Australians were poorer because “we’ve adopted a lot of stupid policies that deny Australians the use of their own energy resources that load our country with way too much red tape”. Last month, the found Australians hold Labor accountable for the financial pain of rising prices and the cost of housing. Thirty-six per cent believe the federal government is responsible for their rising living costs – far greater than the 13 per cent who blame global factors outside Australia’s control. Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has backflipped on supporting the government’s teen social media ban, saying he has realised “the whole thing’s a nonsense”. Yesterday, moderate Liberal MPs Bridget Archer and Richard Colbeck threatened to vote against the ban that Opposition Leader Peter Dutton wants to ram through the parliament with Labor. Speaking on ABC Radio National this morning, Wilkie said he had changed his mind about supporting the bill. “I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve done a backflip on this,” he said. “I got it wrong and I’ve changed my mind. I’ve got two teenage daughters and I’ve got three teenage stepsons. My first response to the news that under 16s would be banned: ‘I agree with joy’, I thought ‘that’s a great idea’. “But as soon as I started to research it, as soon as I started to hear commentary from youth and adolescent mental health experts, from youth welfare experts, from technical experts to talk about the practicalities of this ... I realise[d] the whole thing’s a nonsense and, frankly, I am doubtful that it will ever be realised.” The Queensland election was a month ago but the pomp and circumstance will happen today, with the Governor to travel to Parliament House to formally open the 58th Parliament, meaning there will be road closures in the city. Upon Governor Dr Jeannette Young’s arrival at the Queensland Parliament at 1.40pm, a 19-gun salute will fire from Kangaroo Point, and she will receive a royal salute from the Royal Guard, be invited to inspect the Guard, the Australian Army band, Brisbane and Queensland mounted police escort. She will then deliver the opening address in Parliament, outlining the priorities and objectives of the incoming LNP government. These are the road changes: President Joe Biden on Tuesday called Israel and Hezbollah’s ceasefire agreement “good news” and expressed hope the pause in more than 13 months of fighting will be the catalyst to also end the war in Gaza. Biden made his comments in a Rose Garden speech. He stressed that Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah broke the terms of the truce. Biden added that the deal between Israel and Hezbollah “was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities”. The president’s comments come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security Cabinet approved a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, clearing the way for the truce to take effect. Netanyahu’s office said the plan was approved by a 10-1 margin. The late-night vote came shortly before President Joe Biden was expected to announce details of the deal in Washington. Earlier, Netanyahu defended the ceasefire, saying Israel has inflicted heavy damage on Hezbollah and could now focus its efforts on Hamas militants in Gaza and his top security concern, Iran. Netanyahu vowed to strike Hezbollah hard if it violates the expected deal.

IRISH RUGBY PLAYER Denis Coulson has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after he was found guilty of the 2017 gang rape of a student in France. Coulson and Loick Jammes of France were both jailed for 14 years by a French court on Friday, while Rory Grice of New Zealand was given a 12-year sentence. Former Ireland international Chris Farrell was sentenced to four years, with two suspended, for his failure to prevent the crime. RTÉ reports that Farrell will not serve time in prison but will be required to wear an electronic tag for two years and remain in France. Dylan Hayes of New Zealand received a two-year suspended sentence, also for not intervening to prevent the crime. All five were team-mates at Grenoble Rugby at the time of the crime in the early hours of 12 March 2017, when a student, identified only as ‘V’, filed a complaint to police. She alleged that the sexual attack happened in a hotel on the outskirts of Bordeaux having met members of the Grenoble team as they socialised after losing a Top 14 encounter against local side Bordeaux-Begles. V filed a complaint with police, saying she had met the players in a bar together with two friends and accompanied them to a nightclub where all of them drank heavily. The student said she had no recollection of how she got from the club to the hotel where she woke up, naked on a bed and with a crutch inserted in her vagina. She saw two naked men in the room and others fully dressed. Coulson, Jammes and Grice stated they had sexual relations with V but claimed the encounter was consensual and the student had been pro-active in bringing it about. It was alleged that Farrell, owner of the crutch, was present, as was Hayes. Evidence in the Bordeaux trial was heard without media in the court. The victim’s lawyer Anne Cadiot-Feidt said it had been “unbearable” during the trial to hear the defendants describe her client as “a trollop – if I’m being polite – an eager party who used them and even exhausted them”. “It’s vile, it’s disgusting, it’s obscene and that is perhaps also why the sentencing requests are what they are,” she said. Gaessy Gros, another lawyer for the victim, said those accused had “missed their chance” by continuing to deny rape and remaining united like a team on the rugby pitch. Valerie Coriatt, defending Grice, however described the requested sentences as “almost indecent” for defendants who, she said, “are not a danger to society”. On the basis of statements from the accused and witnesses, as well as a video shot by Coulson, investigators have concluded there were several incidents where objects, including the crutch, a banana and a bottle, were inserted in V’s vagina. A toxicology report stated her blood alcohol level was between 2.2 and 3 grams, a level considered in the danger zone for alcohol poisoning. CCTV footage showed her having difficulty standing up as she arrived at the hotel and being propped up by a player. In court this week, Gros stressed that the victim had no recollection of what happened after leaving the night club. A psychiatric expert said she would likely have been on “automatic pilot” during the alleged rape. Gros has said V was “in no state to give her consent as these men who carried her, who were with her, know perfectly well.” Coulson’s lawyer, Corinne Dreyfus-Schmidt, earlier this week described the victim as “very active” and willing. “If you see someone who is completely lifeless, in an alcohol coma, and you sexually abuse her, it’s not the same thing as if you see a woman who is taking action, moaning and acting in a coordinated way. That’s what they saw,” she said. On Wednesday, she said her client had apologised to the victim. “He asked her for forgiveness and he asked his teammates too because he feels responsible in as much as it was him who led the young woman into the room,” she said. Denis Dreyfus, defending Jammes, said there was not “the slightest ambiguity” on the plaintiff’s attitude. Arnaud Lucien, representing Hayes, said the jail terms requested were “very high”, saying there had not been enough of a distinction between the behaviour of each person in the case.Stock market today: Wall Street hits records despite tariff talk
