Rail passengers faced disruption for more than eight hours after a person was hit by a train between Rugby and Milton Keynes.

National Rail said the incident was reported at about 08:00 BST, prompting all lines between the stations to be closed while emergency services carried out their work.

The disruption affected Avanti Coast and London Northwestern Railway services.

Lines reopened after 16:30 BST, with National Rail warning services would still be delayed.

Inside EV startup Fisker’s collapse: how the company crumbled under its founders' whims

'ThreadsDeck' arrived just in time for the Trump verdict
At least that's the tag many are using to describe the new user interface for Instagram's X competitor, Threads, which resembles the column-based format of Twitter's old app TweetDeck (now X Pro). Two weeks after first testing the functionality that allows Threads users to pin columns to the home screen of its desktop web app, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Thursday that this alternative view was starting to roll out globally -- just in time for everyone to discuss the hottest political news of the year: the Trump verdict. The new user interface option positions Threads as a more serious X rival for those in search of real-time news and information, as it notably allows users to work around Meta's ill-thought-out decision to distance itself from political discussions across Instagram's platforms.

Mill’s redesigned food waste bin really is faster and quieter than before
As before, the bin accepts a wide variety of food waste — only a handful of items like oyster shells are off limits — and grinds and dries it to a consistency that looks like chunky coffee grounds. Where the old bin worked as promised, it wasn’t always as quiet or fast as I would have liked, sometimes taking nearly a day to complete a cycle of drying and grinding the food. Here’s how Mill made it happen.

Google admits its AI Overviews need work, but we're all helping it beta test
Google is embarrassed about its AI Overviews, too. Google -- a company whose name is synonymous with searching the web -- whose brand focuses on "organizing the world's information" and putting it at user's fingertips -- actually wrote in a blog post that "some odd, inaccurate or unhelpful AI Overviews certainly did show up." The admission of failure, penned by Google VP and Head of Search Liz Reid, seems a testimony as to how the drive to mash AI technology into everything has now somehow made Google Search worse.
