#AnAudienceWithAdele

metro.co.uk/2021/11/21/ade…
The singer’s episode of ITV’s An Audience With saw her perform songs from her new album 30 as well as former classics.

Among the A-listers in the audience, such as Dame Emma Thompson, Stormzy, Samuel L Jackson and Emma Watson, were a group of key workers. Image
NHS staff members as well as survivors of the Grenfell fire, and the firefighters who tackled the devastating fatal blaze, received tickets to the hottest show in town.

At one point during the concert, Adele stopped to give the key workers a shout-out leaving viewers emotional. Image
Love Island's @Shaughna_P tweeted: ‘Invited Grenfell survivors and firefighters 😭😭 Yeah I’m done, knight her, throne her, saint her. The cleanest of hearts and you can just tell without even knowing her.’
Influencer @GraceFVictory said: ‘Omg the Grenfell survivors are there.’

Another said: ‘@Adele just watching your performance. And thank you for inviting some of our Grenfell firefighters @LondonFire so well deserved. Hold On is my song on repeat x.’
After opening her London comeback with her song Hometown Glory, she tweeted a tribute to London and everyone who attended her show.

Gambling topped a list of rejected web use at the Department of Health and Social Care last year.

The Whitehall department’s filtering systems also rejected 239 attempts to access malicious or spyware sites and 135 defined as ‘sex, pornography’.

trib.al/LyTgjWD
Attempted betting was followed by over 700 clicks for ‘anonymizer’ tools, which make internet activity untraceable, and 406 for peer-to-peer file sharing sites.

Online betting accounted for most denied access, with more than 2,000 detections in figures disclosed to @MetroUK
The list also includes 186 tries at logging onto ‘tasteless’ content and 126 of material defined as ‘illegal/questionable’, according to the data released under the Freedom of Information Act.

Doctors set to offer people with mild depression alternatives to antidepressants.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) said patients should be offered a choice of therapy or exercise before medication.

trib.al/tFq25cd
The new guidelines – which are subject to consultation – also call for individual counselling sessions to be made available.

‘Do not routinely offer antidepressant medication as first-line treatment for less severe depression, unless that is the person’s preference.’ Image
Doctors are being urged to talk to patients about what would suit them best – adding that group therapy could be offered as a first treatment.

The treatment focuses on how thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, feelings and behaviour interact, sets goals and teaches better coping skills.

‘Right now, in Afghanistan women have no power. Even to go out of the house, they have to ask permission.’

Since receiving asylum in the UK, Bahar fears for women’s lives in Afghanistan and wants to help.

This is her story 👇

trib.al/e2l1OSX
Bahar was a very happy girl in Afghanistan until the Taliban came to rule in 1997.

‘No woman could go out without a man accompanying. I lived like a prisoner at home.’ Image
Bahar says the Taliban killed her two brothers, cousins, and fatally wounded her mother.

Soon after, she sought the help of an ‘agent’ who arranged the trip that would help her escape Afghanistan.

It might soon be illegal to boil lobsters alive thanks to a government-commissioned study that confirmed crustaceans can feel pain just like us.

The research done by the @LSEnews found that there was strong scientific evidence that these animals have the capacity to experience pain, distress or harm.

This means that they will be recognised as sentient beings in the upcoming Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill. Image
‘The science is now clear that decapods and cephalopods can feel pain and therefore it is only right they are covered by this vital piece of legislation,’ said Animal welfare minister, @ZacGoldsmith

Fears are said to be growing that Boris Johnson is ‘losing his grip’ as Prime Minister amid claims his premiership is ‘not just working’.

The PM has lurched from crisis to crisis in the past seven days, facing criticism after coming unstuck during a ham-fisted speech on Monday morning when he ‘rambled’ about Peppa Pig World, made vroom vroom engine noises and compared himself to Moses.

trib.al/9XAWg2p
The bizarre speech prompted one journalist to ask Mr Johnson ‘is everything ok?’

And furious MPs are said to have been ‘appalled’ by his address to business leaders – as they likened him to bumbling TV character Mr Bean.
