Home Bargains, a British variety store and garden centre chain, is one of the UK's fastest growing discount retailers.
It was founded in 1976 by Tom Morris in Liverpool.
The retailer is cracking down on shoplifting by bringing in a major change to self-checkouts.
Home Bargains is deploying AI cameras that will automatically spot items leaving the shop that haven't been scanned.
If anyone leaves the store after using the self-checkout, without having scanned a product, the hi-tech cameras will flag to staff that something is being stolen.
Home Bargains is collaborating with tech firm SAI, Storewide Active Intelligence and AI-business Everseen to install the software into its CCTV.
SAI described the technology as converting regular security cameras into "specialised and capable in-store AI assistants."
As of right now, there are only four Home Bargains branches with self-checkout services.

Educational visit to Norway for Benllech chip shop owner
Carol Hulme, Co-owner of Finney's Fish and Chips in Benllech went on the trip, organised by Seafood from Norway and in collaboration with Norwegian Frozen at Sea, to learn about how cod and haddock. The two most popular species used in British fish and chips are responsibly sourced from Norway's cold, clear waters. 'Frozen At Sea' processing tour aboard Langøy (Image: Gabriel Bush) In June, Finney's, named the winner of the Environment and Sustainable Business Award at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2025, joined 13 other category winners in Sortland, Vesterålen, as part of a long-standing initiative led by Seafood from Norway. Now in its second decade, the programme celebrates the close relationship between Norway's fishing industry and the UK's fish and chip sector, offering winners a rare opportunity to witness the care, sustainability, and innovation behind the whitefish that anchors many UK menus. Voyage aboard Langøy to Trollfjord (Image: Submitted) The pinnacle of the trip was a voyage aboard Langøy, a Norwegian Frozen at Sea vessel owned by Prestfjord, part of the Holmøy Group. Onboard, guests experienced first-hand the craftmanship and sustainable practices that define Norway's world-leading whitefish industry. Carol Hulme, co-owner of Finney's, said: "Sustainability has always been a top priority for us, and it's something we've continued to evolve at our shop since day one. With both the environment and the future of fish and chips in mind, we've embraced green innovations as soon as they've become available. Seafood starter including Norwegian cod, haddock, cold water prawns and salmon (Image: Submitted) "Getting the chance to see Norway's leading sustainable fishing practices first-hand has been a real privilege and has inspired me to keep pushing our efforts even further.' Victoria Braathen, Norwegian Seafood Council UK Director, said: 'Together with our Norwegian stakeholders, it's been a great pleasure to host Carol along with the other category winners of the 2025 National Fish and Chip Awards in Sortland to celebrate their achievements. This year marks more than a decade of collaboration between Seafood from Norway and the UK's iconic fish and chip industry. "The trip provided a valuable opportunity to showcase the care and commitment that goes into delivering the high-quality Norwegian whitefish used by fish and chip operators across the UK and we hope the experience has given Carol inspiration to keep up Finney's award-winning sustainable practices.'

Game is shutting down MORE stores in just weeks with 20% off ‘everything must go' sale
The retailer has shut a number of its locations across the UK in recent monthS GAME OVER Game is shutting down MORE stores in just weeks with 20% off 'everything must go' sale BRITISH retailer GAME has announced the closure of yet another store as it dials back its presence on the highstreet. The retailer's long-standing Chatham store, inside the Pentagon Centre, will shut in September. Advertisement 1 The video game retailer has undergone significant restructuring and downsizinG Credit: Google maps The GAME shop in Victoria Centre, Nottingham, is also set to close its doors next month. Stock in all stores must go, with most items being flogged at 20 per cent off. GAME sells a variety of video games, consoles and pop culture merchandise. Shoppers in the Chatham store can get 20 per cent off all full price toys, board games, LEGO, video games, plushies and gaming accessories like headphones. Advertisement The Chatham branch narrowly avoided closure in 2020 when 40 locations across the UK were axed. The retailer has shut a number of its locations across the UK in recent months. The Frasers Group, which acquired GAME in 2019 as part of a £52million deal, has been converting stores into concessions within Sports Direct and other stores owned by the group. The video game retailer has undergone significant restructuring and downsizing. Advertisement While plans don't indicate that the stores will disappear from the British high street completely many locations are expected to close. GAME, in Festival Place, Basingstoke, will also be holding a 20 per cent off everything closing down sale before shutting up shop for good on August 10. The retailer has given no reason for the abrupt departures from shopping centres in the UK. However, the decline comes amid a significant drop in sales of physical video games, compared to Game's heyday in the early 2000s. Advertisement The Digital Entertainment and Retail Association (ERA) revealed that in 2022, nearly 90 per cent of all video games sold in the UK were digital downloads.

Edinburgh university 'most financially entangled' in UK to Israel
The UN special rapporteur on Human Rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, Francese Albanese, has published her latest report exploring corporate complicity with the genocide in Gaza The University of Edinburgh investments are analysed in the report and according to the special rapporteur, they are in violation of international law, human rights and the 1948 Genocide Convention. READ MORE: Palestine Action block entry to weapons manufacturer ahead of proscription challenge The report explains that "many universities have upheld ties with Israel despite the post-October 2023 escalation" and goes on to detail that among the "many British examples," the University of Edinburgh is "among the most financially entangled". It states: "One of many British examples, the University of Edinburgh holds nearly £25.5 million (2.5 per cent of its endowment) in four tech giants – Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and IBM314 – central to the Israeli surveillance apparatus and the ongoing Gaza destruction. "With both direct and indexed investments, the University ranks among the most financially entangled institutions in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. "The university also partners with firms aiding Israeli military operations, including Leonardo S.p.A. and Ben-Gurion University, through the AI and Data Science Lab at Ben Gurion University, sharing research that directly links it with assaults on Palestinians." Action taken by Palestine Action at Leonardo's Edinburgh factory (Image: Supplied) Another point adds: "The analysis in the present report only scratches the surface of the information received by the Special Rapporteur, who acknowledges the vital work of students and staff in holding universities to account. "It casts a new light on global crackdowns on campus protesters: shielding Israel and protecting institutional financial interests appears a more probable motivation than fighting alleged antisemitism." READ MORE: Frankie Boyle and Tilda Swinton call for Labour not to ban Palestine Action In conclusion, the report states: "While life in Gaza is being obliterated and the West Bank is under escalating assault, this report shows why Israel's genocide continues: because it is lucrative for many. By shedding light on the political economy of an occupation turned genocidal, the report reveals how the forever-occupation has become the ideal testing ground for arms manufacturers and Big Tech – providing boundless supply and demand, little oversight, and zero accountability – while investors and private and public institutions profit freely. "Too many influential corporate entities remain inextricably financially bound to Israel's apartheid and militarism. "Post-October 2023, when the Israeli defence budget doubled, and at a time of falling demand, production and consumer confidence, an international network of corporations has propped up the Israeli economy. Blackrock and Vanguard rank among the largest investors in arms companies pivotal to Israel's genocidal arsenal. "Major global banks have underwritten Israeli treasury bonds, which have bankrolled the devastation, and the largest sovereign wealth and pension funds invested public and private savings in the genocidal economy, all the while claiming to respect ethical guidelines." 'What kind of institution do we want to be?' A senior lecturer has anonymously spoken to The National about the report, calling out leadership for ignoring staff and students who have highlighted the same concerns as the UN through votes, letters, and encampments on campus. "It's not just the 'bad' students and staff asking the questions," they said, "for almost two years, the EUSA [Edinburgh University Student Association] team and the academic senate, have been in both in favour of total divestment from the companies mentioned in the report. "And the main anti-racist networks on campus have asked for divestment based on evidence — part of which was used in the UN special rapporteur's report." READ MORE: 'Not my King!': Protesters gather as royal family visits Edinburgh In May last year, 549 staff at the university signed a letter demanding that the university sever ties with Israel, expressing solidarity with the pro-Palestine student encampment set up on campus grounds. A number of encampments at the university: multiracial, multi-religious – Palestinians, Jews, and others – have been asking for action, while the university has continuously said it is "reviewing our approach to responsible investments". The university has already frozen additional purchases of stocks in Amazon and Alphabet—just two of the several companies mentioned in the UN report, but staff say this is not enough. "That's a de facto acknowledgment that we are putting money into companies which may be complicit in human rights violations and breaches of international law, including the 1948 Genocide Convention," the lecturer said. They questioned: "But after that acknowledgment, how can you continue? "How can you keep money in existing stocks in companies that are directly complicit with war crimes, human rights violations, and violations of the Genocide Convention? "It doesn't make any sense. If you freeze, you freeze everything. You don't just freeze additional purchases while continuing to profit from existing investments. "That's not how business and human rights work." READ MORE: Scots back independence as Keir Starmer's popularity at record low, new poll finds The lecturer said they wanted to "make clear" that the majority of their colleagues "have expressed support for divestment" because of the evidence in the UN report already. "When we said it, we were dismissed as partisan," they said. "Now, the UN is saying the same thing. "So the university has to ask: what kind of institution do we want to be?" They added: "The university has to decide where it stands. I don't think our legal services can rubber-stamp dismissals of evidence from key international institutions. At the very least, suspend investments. Say: 'The money smells — we stop until things are clear'. "Denial of action is denial of genocide. Senior leadership are watching the same Palestinians being killed — it's on the BBC, it's everywhere. You don't need to scavenge through social media to know what's happening. "So, the choice is clear: Denial and lack of accountability or standing up for international law. "UN special rapporteurs are the 'gold standard' — to use Kofi Annan's phrase. They are the key independent experts, part of the UN system, working with and for the UN." The University of Edinburgh has been approached for comment.
