Recipe box launches The Bear inspired range that will help charity
The initiative comes as Trussell's 'The Cost of Hardship & Hunger' report reveals that a record 1 in 7 people across the UK now face severe hardship, including 6.3 million adults and 3 million children. Over the summer, food banks in the Trussell community are expected to support a child with emergency food every 41 seconds. Orders from 'The Bare' range will help Trussell support families.
'The Bare' features three recipes inspired by the hit culinary TV show: Chicago-Style Beef Sandwich & Fries, Friends & Family Spaghetti with Mozzarella Garlic Bread, and even THAT viral Crisp-Topped Omelette with Fries & Salad.
Gousto has transformed the cult favourites into simple, stress-free meals with easy-to-follow recipe cards and pre-measured ingredients.
Timo Boldt, Founder and CEO of Gousto, said: "Ensuring more families have access to fresh, good food has always been part of our purpose to have a positive impact on people and the planet. With this screen-worthy recipe range, we're making it easy for food lovers to recreate cult-favourite dishes at home, while supporting the vital work of food banks in the Trussell community".
Gousto has also partnered with Big Zuu to launch 'The Bare'. Big Zuu said: 'Getting behind 'The Bare' was a no-brainer for me. It's about more than just flavours; it's about making some noise for people going without the basics. I've always believed good food should be for everyone, and teaming up with Gousto and Trussell on this campaign means we're getting real support to families who need it. And if you're asking – THAT Crispy Omelette with Fries is my go-to. It's easy, full of flavour and the ultimate comfort food.'

Air Canada seeks government intervention as contract talks with flight attendants stall
MONTREAL/CHICAGO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Air Canada ( opens new tab said on Tuesday it has asked for federal government intervention in contract talks with its flight attendants union, after the airline declared an impasse in the negotiations. The company also warned of potential flight disruptions, saying it had made arrangements with other Canadian and foreign carriers to provide customers alternative travel options. The standoff in contract negotiations have raised the risk of disrupted service as early as Saturday by Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge, which together carry about 130,000 customers a day. Earlier in the day, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents more than 10,000 flight attendants, rejected the airline's proposal for binding arbitration, arguing it wants a negotiated settlement. The airline said it had offered a 38% increase in total compensation for flight attendants over four years, with a 25% raise in the first year. Its offer also addressed the issue of ground pay and improved pensions and benefits, among other advantages. But the union said the offer would raise actual wages by 17.2% over four years and was "below inflation, below market value, below minimum wage - and still leaves flight attendants unpaid for all hours of work." Most carriers have paid cabin crew members only when planes are in motion. But in their latest contract negotiations, flight attendants in North America have sought compensation for hours worked, including for tasks like boarding passengers and waiting around the airport before and between flights. The union said Air Canada had offered to begin compensating flight attendants for some unpaid work but only at 50% of their hourly rate. Flight attendants could strike as early as August 16, after giving 72 hours notice. Air Canada said it believed the talks were at an impasse, accusing the union of "insisting on unsustainable wage increases." Canada's labor code empowers the government to direct both parties to binding interest arbitration to avoid massive economic disruptions. There are precedents for government intervention in the transportation sector. TD Cowen analyst Tom Fitzgerald said the situation would likely prompt the government to intervene. "We find it hard to fathom that Canada's government would want to sit back and allow this level of disruption to happen to its economy and the traveling public during the peak summer season," Fitzgerald said.

The route map for America's fastest train linking NYC to L.A. will stop in these 8 major cities
A bold new plan aims to link America's coasts by high-speed rail—Delaware-based AmeriStarRail has proposed the "Transcontinental Chief," a privately funded passenger and freight train that will take you from Los Angeles to New York in under 72 hours, with service aiming to begin by 2026. While the company still needs to secure a partnership with Amtrak to begin, plans are already coming together, including the eight major stops the proposed train will make along the route. Starting from Hoboken Terminal—reachable from Manhattan via PATH or ferry—the train heads west, skipping Penn Station due to tunnel restrictions for Amtrak's double-decker Superliners. The first leg runs to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where a single-level section branches toward Philly and D.C. Next is Pittsburgh, PA and then Cleveland, OH. The halfway point is Chicago, IL, America's rail hub and deep-dish capital, where the Transcontinental Chief will link with other long-distance routes. Then it's across the plains to Kansas City, MO. Rolling into the Southwest, the train will stop in Albuquerque, NM, a desert gateway along Route 66. Finally, the journey ends at Union Station in Los Angeles, CA. The train will serve 54 cities in total, but these eight anchors form its spine. AmeriStarRail says the route would replace Amtrak's "Southwest Chief" and "Pennsylvanian" services and will add truck transport via a roll-on, roll-off system—turning the train into a "rolling rest stop" for long-haul drivers. Not everyone's convinced, however. Amtrak has publicly said the plan lacks a "fundamental business case," though AmeriStarRail insists it will share details under a non-disclosure agreement. If it launches, this could be the fastest, most scenic way to traverse the country. The company hopes to begin service on May 10, 2026, which just so happens to be National Train Day. Service would also begin just in time for the 250th birthday of the U.S. and just weeks before the 2026 FIFA World Cup—exciting stuff!

South Belfast to get new hotel and leisure development, while Ballymena gets bowling alley
Permission was granted for the 164-bedroom Andras House hotel, which will have a ground floor bar and restaurant at the junction of Botanic Avenue and Donegall Pass. The site for the new hotel is currently used as a surface level car park and retail and office unit. Andras House acquired the site at Botanic Avenue in 2023 for £1.7m and last year it confirmed it is to develop a 164-room hotel for YOTEL, a London-based hotel firm. The project is estimated to be worth £17m. The Planning Committee also approved an application for change of use from office space and storage at Adelaide Business Centre. It will become a leisure development with bowling alley, restaurant, indoor golf, children's soft play, VR zone and amusements, with parking at the site. MK5 Ltd first unveiled plans for the leisure complex in 2022 after buying the Adelaide Business Centre on Apollo Road in Belfast for £1.35m. MK5 is owned by Patrick Simpson, the developer behind Londonderry's Brunswick Moviebowl leisure complex. Planning documents show that the estimated investment in the new project, in addition to the £1.35m to acquire the site, will be around £3m, with the businesses expected to create about 30 jobs. Permission was also given for the erection of a drive through café at lands near Lidl supermarket and Olympia Leisure Centre on the Boucher Road. Other applications approved were a council application for street art on the façade of the former Belfast Telegraph building in Royal Avenue at Donegall Street. Councillor Ryan Murphy, Chair of Belfast City Council's Planning Committee, said: 'It's further good news for tourists and visitors to Belfast to have another major hotel development approved, this time — in the Botanic area. 'This new hotel will be close to shops, bars and restaurants and other local visitor attractions like Botanic Gardens and the Ulster Museum. 'It's also walking distance to the city centre and close to Botanic station which provides public transport links to the wider city and beyond including Lanyon Place and St George's Market and Titanic Quarter and SSE Arena and Titanic Belfast, among other great attractions. 'The Planning Committee also approved a new leisure complex on the Apollo Road, Boucher, with bowling alley, soft children's play area and indoor golf which is fantastic news for residents and families in the city.' Meanwhile, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has granted planning permission for a new bowling alley at a cinema complex in Ballymena. A proposal by applicant Carngore Ltd of Thomas Street, Ballymena, for renovations and an extension to the IMC Cinema to accommodate a 12-lane bowling alley and amusement centre has been given the go-ahead. A planning report noted the premises at St Patrick's Link Road are located just outside Ballymena in 'an established leisure area' adjacent to the Seven Towers Leisure Centre. The report said: 'The proposal is to change the use of two existing cinema rooms to provide an amusement area, further change of the existing lobby area and small extension to provide a bowling alley. 'Given the established leisure nature of the site and distance from any residential development, it is considered that there will be no impact on residential amenity or human health and well-being." The report stated that NI Water has recommended refusal. However, there is no proposed change to the existing water and sewerage facilities. 'Given the extensive parking on-site and adjacent at Seven Towers Leisure Centre, there is no need for any additional parking or traffic assessments.' There is no amendment to the access, it was noted.
