Trinidad and Tobago authorities say they will block infamous sex island from happening
Authorities from Trinidad and Tobago have said they will block a "sex island" holiday that organisers claim is planned for the Caribbean country this weekend. When it was first promoted last year, it received widespread criticism over fears of sex trafficking and drug-taking. Earlier this week, the organisers confirmed to The Independent that the event would be taking place off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago, but today the country's Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said there was “no such plan whatsoever” to host the event, and that “there is no private island off Trinidad and Tobago”.

How Belgium's new AfricaMuseum is helping it address its exploitative colonial past
“They called us the world’s last colonial museum,” says Guido Gryseels. The “Palace of the Colonies,” as it was called upon opening in 1910, was funded by Belgian exploitation of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and occupies a glorious location in wooded parkland east of Brussels. No glory, though, surrounds the colonial adventures of Belgium and its murderous monarch, Leopold II.

Unlike the big kahunas like the Oscars, Emmys, BAFTAs and Grammys, nominees for the SAG Awards are voted on by the actors in the industry. While a performance may have blown us away, that doesn't mean members of the Screen Actors Guild thought it stacked up against its contenders.

Kate and Meghan's Christmas Day outfits through the years in pictures
It has been a long-standing tradition for the Royal Family to spend the festive period at Sandringham and attend the annual Christmas Day service at Church of St Mary Magdalene. Proceedings have certainly got more fashionable since Kate Middleton married Prince William in 2011. The Duchess of Cambridge has wrapped up in an array of chic wool jackets and tartan coats to walk to church. Kate and William did not travel to Sandringham in 2012, as the Duchess was suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum during her pregnancy with Prince George. Kate recovered at her parents Carole and Michael Middleton’s home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. They were back in Norfolk in 2013, but opted to leave a five-month-old baby George at home. Although the couple’s permanent residence is in London, they also have nearby Anmer Hall, which is just 3 miles from the Sandringham estate. 2016 was the first year we saw the Cambridges as a family of four, where they all trooped to St Marks Church in Kate’s home village. The crowds were delighted to see George, then three, and his then one-year-old sister Charlotte clutching red and white striped candy canes as they departed. For Meghan, it will be her first Christmas at Sandringham as the Duchess of Sussex . Last year saw the Queen deviate from tradition when she invited the former actress to join the royals . Harry and Meghan had announced their engagement the month before and the pair were married in May. The couple are expecting their first child in spring 2019. Kate, William, Harry and Meghan are expected to join the Queen and the rest of the royals in Norfolk this year. It’s not known whether George, Charlotte and seven-month-old Louis will be in tow, but they’re guaranteed to steal the show, if they are.

A fifty-something mum on how she survived her first ski holiday - in the wake of her teenage son
My first lesson was a nightmare. I couldn’t get the skis on without falling over, I couldn’t do the most basic first task of pushing myself across the snow with my poles and, being a woman with a traditional figure, when I fell over, I couldn’t get up (those videos I had watched of how to expertly lift yourself off the piste with the grace of Darcy Bussell using only a sneaky push of the ski poles are a cruel fantasy).
