Bryson and McKay cleared in Nama trial
Mr Bryson, 35, from Rosepark in Donaghadee, and co-accused Thomas O'Hara, 41, from Lisnahunshin Road in Cullybackey, were found not guilty of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office. The charges had related to a Stormont committee hearing that examined the sale of the National Asset Management Agency's (Nama) Northern Ireland assets in 2015. Mr McKay, 43, from Loughan Road in Dunnamanagh – who was chairman of the finance committee at the time – was found not guilty of misconduct in public office. Mr Bryson and Mr McKay said there are now questions for the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) over why the prosecution was brought. Daithi McKay outside Belfast Crown Court on Thursday (Liam McBurney/PA) Trial judge Gordon Kerr KC said he believed Mr Bryson had lied while giving evidence in the case, but said he was not involved in a criminal conspiracy. The long-running Nama trial had related to Mr Bryson's 2015 appearance before the Stormont committee, chaired by Mr McKay, which was investigating the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland assets to a US investment fund. The criminal probe was launched after the publication of leaked Twitter messages between Mr Bryson, Mr McKay and the account of Mr O'Hara, who at the time was a Sinn Fein activist in north Antrim. Mr McKay quit as an MLA within hours of the Twitter messages being published in August 2016. The Stormont Finance Committee inquiry was set up in 2015 amid political controversy over the multimillion-pound sale of Nama's property portfolio. Nama, the so-called bad bank created by the Irish government to deal with the toxic loans of bailed-out lenders during the economic crash, sold its 800 Northern Ireland-linked properties to investment fund Cerberus for £1.2 billion. Giving evidence to the committee in 2015, Mr Bryson used Assembly privilege to name former DUP leader Peter Robinson as a beneficiary of the sale. The then-first minister of Northern Ireland strongly rejected any suggestion he benefited from the deal. All other parties involved in the transaction also denied wrongdoing. Delivering his judgment in the non-jury trial on Thursday, the judge said: 'Despite his lies in court, I am sure that Mr Bryson was at all times communicating with Mr McKay. 'I am sure that the communications were designed to give Mr Bryson the best advice and guidance to maximise his chances of giving evidence. The judge said the evidence against Thomas O'Hara 'fell well short' of anything which would convince him of his guilt (Liam McBurney/PA) 'My analysis of the messages do not show any occasion where Mr McKay undertook to say or do anything outside his duties as chairman to ensure Mr Bryson's evidence would be in open session. 'Clearing Mr Bryson, the judge said the evidence did not establish there had been a criminal conspiracy between him and Mr McKay. He said: 'In the absence of an agreement, the conspiracy charge must fail.' Turning to Mr McKay, the judge said there was 'no doubt he deliberately misled the committee to ease the way for Mr Bryson's presentation'. The judge pointed out the Assembly had its own code of conduct and said there was 'no precedent for a prosecution in these circumstances'. Clearing Mr McKay, he added: 'I do not consider it my role to expand the offence.' The judge said the evidence against Mr O'Hara 'fell well short' of anything which would convince him of his guilt.

I tested £38 gadget to beat the salon and save my split ends – it blew my mind
With no time or cash to visit a salon, new mum Siobhan O'Connor tried out a trimmer that everyone's been talking about. Will it cut the mustard? HAIR THIS I tested £38 gadget to beat the salon and save my split ends – it blew my mind Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MY hair used to be pampered like royalty – regular trims, glossy blow-dries and a shelf full of fancy products to keep split ends at bay. But since becoming a mum in March, all that TLC has gone out the window. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Siobhan O'Connor's hair has been left to fend for itself between 3am feeds and the endless blur of nappies Credit: David Cummings 4 According to Luxmend, their £38 gadget only targets split ends, trimming away the frazzled bits Credit: David Cummings These days, I'm lucky if I get five minutes to run a brush through it, let alone book a salon snip. Between 3am feeds and the endless blur of nappies, my hair's been left to fend for itself, usually shoved into a dry-shampooed topknot that's more bird's nest than 'blowout'. The result? A record-breaking ten months without a trim and therefore more split ends than a Love Island recoupling. And while I dream of a head massage and glossy finish, the reality of juggling a newborn — and hearing my baby scream mid-hair wash — isn't exactly soothing. Add in the fact that my maternity pay is disappearing into nappies, wipes and babygrows, and a pricey haircut isn't an option any more. Days at home mean it's easy enough to ignore, but with a holiday coming up, my unruly mop needs taming before it hits airport security. So, on one of my early-hours TikTok scrolls, I came across a £38 gadget that promised to rescue my dead ends from the brink — a split-end hair trimmer by Luxmend, a British beauty website. The device — which looks like a typical hair straightener, but with scary teeth — has accumulated thousands of tried-and-tested videos, attracting more than two million views. Clip after clip showed users running the device over their frazzled ends, trimming just the damaged bits and revealing smooth, shiny strands underneath — within minutes. Finally, a hair fix I could squeeze in during nap time? I was sold. I tried incredible new air styler - it gave perfect curls with no heat and its a fraction of the price of Dyson Air Wrap According to Luxmend, the gadget only targets split ends, trimming away the frazzled bits without affecting your overall length. It works by feeding strands through a hair plate, which lifts any rogue, spiky ends and snips them off with built-in blades. The device comes with sectioning clips, a USB charger and a quick-start guide that recommends working in layers for the best results. Once charged, it powers up instantly, and to turn it off, you simply lock it shut. Easy enough. But I won't lie, I was nervous. The inner prongs look a little too aggressive for something gliding near my face. And the noise? Loud enough to make the baby stir. It doesn't exactly scream 'trust me'. So, before committing my split ends to Luxmend's blades, I did what any trend-follower would do — another TikTok deep dive. 'Unravelling rope' Cue panic. Among the glossy before-and-afters were horror stories — users showing clumps of hair inside the gadget's clear chamber, gasping as more than just their ends disappeared. Was this sleek little trimmer a miracle — or a mistake waiting to happen? Wes Sharpton, a hairstylist at haircare brand says: 'As professional stylists, we think of split ends like an unravelling rope — they travel up the strand and only a proper haircut can truly stop the damage from progressing. 'Split-end machines claim to remove frizz and damage, but in reality, they only trim the small hairs that stick out, and those hairs eventually reappear, leaving the hair still looking frizzy and uneven.' That being said, considering the current state of my locks, I was desperate — and convinced myself that if I just did the ends, I wouldn't have much to lose if it did go terribly wrong. 4 The device comes with sectioning clips, a USB charger and a quick-start guide that recommends working in layers for the best results Credit: David Cummings During my daughter's nap, I finally gave it a go. I started cautiously, pulling down a hidden layer of hair from underneath. That way, if it massacred my mane, I could at least cover the damage. Taking a section about an inch wide, I fed the last two to three inches through the trimmer, clamped it shut and slowly pulled it down. You can definitely feel the tension as it works — it doesn't glide like straighteners. There's a subtle resistance, like the machine is chewing through your ends — gently, I hoped. Once I reached the bottom, I flipped the gadget open and peeked through the clear chamber. Sure enough, it was filled with tiny chopped hairs — the kind that normally coat the bathroom sink when my partner trims his beard. I decided to tackle just one half of my head first, partly for damage control and partly to see if there was a real difference. It's surprisingly easy to do solo, but you can't rush it. I tried feeding in a thicker chunk of hair at one point and the device struggled to chomp through it. Working in smaller sections, I watched the clear chamber steadily fill up with little wisps of split ends. Weirdly, it became really satisfying and addictive. I didn't want to stop. The results do far? The freshly trimmed sections looked noticeably smoother, glossier and far less frizzy. Most of those pesky split ends had vanished, and with each section I got braver — thankfully without losing more than I intended. 4 Siobhan was wowed by results from trimmer Once half my head was done, the difference was obvious. One side looked sleek and fresh, the other still rocking the tumbleweed look. I was genuinely blown away that this £38 gadget managed to freshen up my frazzled ends in under 15 minutes. Sure, it's not quite the same as a salon experience, but let's be honest, neither is trying to wrangle a baby through a haircut. And in the meantime, it has bought me a few extra months of avoiding the hairdresser — and the hefty bill that comes with it. Pre-baby, I was paying as much as £150 per cut and £220 for a cut and colour, visiting the salon every four months. That's at least £400 a year, just to get it trimmed. The best bit about my new split-end saviour? You can whip it out whenever you've got a moment to yourself — even at 3am when the baby's asleep and you're wide awake. That said, my one piece of advice? Don't mention it to your hairdresser.

Putin's Navy second-in-command is KILLED in devastating Ukrainian missile blitz in Kursk while plotting fresh invasion
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) UKRAINE killed the deputy commander of Russia's navy who was plotting a new invasion. The Hero of Russia, Major General Mikhail Gudkov, 42, was killed in a missile strike in Kursk.

Gudkov was killed in a command post 11 miles from the Ukrainian border on Wednesday. It comes hours after claims that America had suspended weapons shipments to Ukraine. The general was a decorated Hero of Russia and his loss is a huge blow to Putin, who had personally entrusted him with command over the Marine Infantry. Gudkov also oversaw all missile and artillery coastal forces, and had specific control of the Pacific Fleet's key 155th Naval Infantry Brigade. Reports say Gudkov was killed early on Wednesday in a pinpoint Ukrainian missile strike on Korenevo, in Russia's Kursk region. Four out of eight missiles were downed by Russian air defences, but the others squarely hit their marks. There are indications that Ukraine was working off excellent intelligence about the movements and locations of Putin's senior commanders. The strike hit a 'forward command post' 11 miles from the border with Ukraine, where the general was meeting with other high-ranking troops. Numerous "senior officers' were reported to be among roughly a dozen killed in the blitz - though the toll may climb. Ukrainian forces BLOW UP ammunition depot in another setback for Putin Gudkov was suspected to be involved in Putin's plan for a fresh invasion of the Sumy region - expected in the coming weeks. Vlad's forces are likely to target the strategic Sumy city in particular. Some 50,000 Russians troops are massed at the border - a development Donald Trump said he was watching 'very closely' this week. Obituaries in Russia say Gudkov died with his troops 'in combat action'. 7 Gudkov was the second-most senior figure in the navy and thought to be key to Russia's upcoming invasion of Sumy Credit: East2West 7 Putin had awarded the commander for his courage and heroism Credit: AFP Flowers were being laid on Thursday for the eliminated commander in Vladivostok, Putin's Pacific capital, as Russia mourns one of its rising military stars. The city is home to the 155th Marine Brigade which has played a key role in Putin's invasion. At a meeting in Russian Arctic capital Murmansk in March, Putin promoted Gudkov - who was being hot-housed up the ranks. Putin told him: 'I have made the decision to transfer you to a new position and increase the level of your responsibility. 'You are being appointed Deputy Commander of the Naval Forces of the Russian Federation.' Gudkov replied: 'Aye, Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief.' In October 2023, then a Colonel, Gudjov received the Gold Star of the Hero of Russia honour and a pistol awarded for "courage, heroism and skillful command of subordinate units". The award was personally bestowed by then defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. 7 A rescuer works at a site of a Russian drone strike in Dnipro Credit: Reuters
