Oshkosh to upgrade Marine Corps resupply trucks
Oshkosh Defense landed a 49.2 million dollar contract to convert and deliver upgraded Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement Extra Long Wheelbase cargo variants from its Wisconsin plant.

Miami elects first Democratic-aligned mayor in nearly 30 years

EHRC warns Wales on human rights delivery gaps
The Equality and Human Rights Commission says the Welsh Government is falling short on its own pledges, with compliance gaps undermining rights in devolved areas and sluggish progress across more than 80 UN review-linked assessments. Top concern is disabled people’s access to health services, prompting calls for a measurable, revised Disabled People’s Rights Plan and a reminder letter to the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice. Ministers point to a 2025 to 2029 equality plan and promise a revamped disability plan before Christmas. Fine words, but the EHRC wants measurable delivery before the 2027 review, not another festive press release.

Regulator failure exposed in North London therapy abuse case
A North London psychotherapist allegedly characterized groping a patient as complementary therapy, and the investigation into him was closed for nine years. This is not a scandal that invites jokes. It is a stark lapse in oversight that demands accountability, transparency, and safeguards that prioritize patients over professional complacency.
MatrixSpace unveils compact 360 degree anti-drone radar
MatrixSpace announced a low power, portable counter drone radar on December 9, 2025, designed for rapid deployment from public events to military zones. A 360 degree panoramic eye to spot uninvited quadcopters before they turn security into improvisational theater.
Priya Dogra named Channel 4 Chief Executive

Translation, keeping the lights on without selling the furniture.
