Starting April 1st, disabled people across England will ride buses for free anytime, day or night — a major win after years of advocacy. Gone are the old time limits that restricted passes to weekdays between 9:30 AM and 11 PM. The government is pouring £60 million into this change, with £40 million from the Department for Work and Pensions and £20 million from Transport, aiming to ease financial pressure and ensure mobility isn’t tied to the clock. Advocates have long argued that disabilities don’t pause at certain hours — buses must be accessible for work, school, and appointments. While some say funding comes from existing budgets, this move still delivers real relief during tough economic times, offering a practical step toward greater inclusion and dignity for disabled communities nationwide.

Fifty years after being found as a baby in a London phone box, Susanne Barrow finally found her brother Brian on ITV’s Long Lost Family — and that reunion sparked a whirlwind of discovery. They’ve since uncovered up to nine more siblings, and Susanne beams with gratitude, calling Brian “a great brother who oozes niceness.” But the emotional high point came when a stranger reached out claiming to be her birth mother — a claim confirmed by DNA testing, sending Susanne into tears as she described the moment as “a spark igniting.” Their meeting was tender and immediate, like “a connection trying to get out,” and Susanne has since become a source of healing for her mother, helping her forgive herself and embrace their bond. While Susanne’s journey has been transformative, her birth father remains silent — refusing to meet her despite knowing she exists. This follow-up episode captures the profound power of family, the bittersweet ache of unanswered questions, and the joy of belonging.

Rob Kazinsky is back as Sean Slater on EastEnders after 17 years — and this time, he’s bringing the chaos. First appearing in 2006 as a key member of the Slater family, Kazinsky left in 2009 amid a wild storyline involving Roxy Mitchell and a shocking paternity twist. Though he’s spent the last 19 years building a global career in film and TV, including roles in Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel, he’s always felt drawn back to Albert Square. Now, with his return confirmed for later this year, fans are buzzing — because where Sean Slater goes, drama follows. The exec producer is thrilled, and Kazinsky says it’s about honoring the character, the fans, and himself. Expect big things — and definitely no boring moments.

New research reveals a devastating truth: people with severe intellectual disabilities are dying 24 years earlier than the general population, with nearly 40% of those deaths preventable. The gap widens for ethnic minorities, who die 14 years younger than their white peers — exposing deep systemic failures in healthcare. Preventable causes like pneumonia and epilepsy point to a critical disconnect between available care and what’s actually delivered. It’s time for urgent, targeted interventions to save lives and ensure equitable care for the most vulnerable.

A wild stag charged a picnic group in Richmond Park, knocking a man in his 60s to the ground and causing chest injuries—though he’s okay, the deer was euthanized for endangering visitors. As Royal Parks sees more people feeding the animals, officials are sounding the alarm: stay 50 meters away, never feed or touch the deer, and back off slowly if one approaches. These animals are wild—and getting dangerously comfortable with humans.
