Tesco is to begin a trial giving expiring food to customers for free at the end of the day as it tries to cut food waste.

The supermarket will give away some already discounted "yellow sticker" items after 21:30 in some of its smaller Express stores in coming months. 

Tesco already donates expiring food to charities and foodbanks. It says it is taking this step to try to meet its goal to halve food waste.

The company said the expiring food would be offered to charities and shop workers first, before customers could take it. 

A spokesman said the trial would begin in a small number of its Express stores in the UK. The locations have not been specified, nor the starting date.

"This trial will allow customers to take any remaining yellow-stickered items for free at the end of the day, after they have first been offered to charities and colleagues," they added.

Tesco is Britain's largest supermarket chain, with a 27.8% market share. It has 3,700 UK stores and about 750 more abroad.

"We know what happens when an autocratic regime starts taking away our rights and scapegoating and we will not be silent."

An Australian man lived for 100 days with an artificial titanium heart while he awaited a donor transplant, the longest period to date of someone with the technology.

The patient, a man in his 40s who declined to be identified, received the implant during surgery at St. Vincent’s Hospital Sydney last November.

In February, he became the first person worldwide to leave hospital with the device, which kept him alive until a heart donor became available earlier this month.

The data coming out from an independent study of Waymo autonomous vehicles is, frankly, amazing. Swiss Re, one of the largest global insurance firms based out of Zürich, reports that 25.3 million fully autonomous miles drive by Waymo vehicles resulted in a 92% reduction in car crash injuries.

In plain English, Waymo self-driving tech is 12.5x safer than human drivers.

Let's dig into what that means!

The real feature here is buried in Ford's patent filing: it can detect your dog, and feed that information to an automated treat dispenser. If you have to pop into the store, and Rover starts barking, the machine will know and can automatically become dog’s best friend! Or you can absolutely blow your dog’s mind by manually giving them a treat, but through an app, rather than by hand.

I love this... It's crazy people don't appreciate what are nature homies do.

The Norwegian Armed Forces are installing birdhouses nationwide as part of their climate and environmental strategy to promote biodiversity. This initiative supports vulnerable species and enhances natural habitats in military areas without compromising operational capability. During the launch at Akershus Fortress, Chief of Defense Eirik Kristoffersen emphasized that while no one can do everything, everyone can do more.
