Cast members argue the show’s background checks were rushed and that participants were not given informed consent. The producers and broadcasters claim they followed extensive vetting procedures, while critics say the process fell short of protecting vulnerable contestants.

On Sunday, Swiss voters will decide whether to cap the country’s population at 10 million. Supporters, led by the Swiss People’s Party, say the measure will ease housing and infrastructure pressures, while opponents warn it could isolate Switzerland from the EU and hurt labour supply. Opinion polls show a razor‑thin margin, with 45 % in favour and 52 % against, yet many remain undecided as the debate centers on whether immigration is to blame for rising costs. The referendum has drawn sharp voices: one side argues for protecting a way of life, the other insists the plan does more harm than good.

At the death of the celebrated artist David Hockney, King Charles issued a heartfelt tribute, calling the artist "a giant of the world of art" and a "dear friend."  The six‑million‑plus British art icon, who died at 88, inspired artists, audiences, and political leaders alike, ranging from Tracey Emin’s admiration to Tim Cook’s acknowledgement of Hockney’s digital artistry.  The former Prince of Wales highlighted Hockney’s comfort in his own shoes – both literally with his famed yellow Crocs and figuratively with his unrestrained, boundless approach to colour and innovation.  The ex‑Prime Minister, the Tate and a host of cultural figures reflected on how Hockney reshaped British painting and queer art while his legacy continues to inspire future generations.
