Authorities have released new details about a potential suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie – the mother of US TV host Savannah Guthrie -and have said they are doubling the reward for information.

The FBI also shared new identifying details about a possible suspect seen in images and video the bureau previously released showing a masked individual on the porch of the 84-year-old’s home in Tucson, Arizona, shortly before she went missing in the early hours of 1 February.

In a statement, FBI Phoenix described the person as “male, approximately 5ft 9in-5ft 10in tall, with an average build” and said he can be seen wearing “a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack” in the footage shared by law enforcement.

The FBI also said it is increasing its reward up to $100,000 (£73,400) for information leading to the location of Ms Guthrie, who police believe was taken against her will.

The reward, which was previously up to $50,000 (£36,700), also applies to information that leads to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.

Over 13,000 tips from the public have been received since 1 February, according to the FBI.

Earlier this week, a man was detained for questioning in the investigation and released without charge, authorities said.

Speaking to reporters following his release, Carlos Palazuelos, who had been detained during a traffic stop, said he was innocent and did not know who Savannah Guthrie was.

Police said Nancy Guthrie has difficulty walking, has a pacemaker, and requires daily medication for a heart condition.

On Thursday, Savannah Guthrie, who co-hosts the Today show, posted on social media a home video montage of her mother with the caption: “Our lovely mom. We will never give up on her. Thank you for your prayers and hope”.

The Guthrie family previously said they were willing to pay for their mother’s return after an apparent ransom note asked for $6m (£4.4m) by last Monday.

The FBI said on Monday it was not aware of ongoing communication between Nancy Guthrie’s family and the suspected kidnappers.

Grantchester is back on ITV for season 10 and fans can’t get enough of the detective drama but what do we know about where its brought to life?

Grantchester, ITV’s much-loved detective drama, has captivated audiences not just with its dashing vicars but also its picturesque locations.

DI Geordie Keating (portrayed by Robson Green) returns once more to unravel further mysteries in Grantchester, this time alongside the parish’s newest arrival, Reverend Alphy Kottaram (Rishi Nair), in the show’s tenth series on ITV.

This evening’s (Thursday, 12 February) instalment will see the duo probe the death of a photographer who had been assisting Cathy (Kacey Ainsworth) and Mrs Chapman (Tessa Peake-Jones) with their fledgling fashion boutique venture.

Where is Grantchester filmed?

The series is chiefly shot in the actual village of Grantchester from which it takes its name, situated just a short distance from Cambridge.

Key filming spots include the Church of St Andrew and St Mary, the village centre, and Grantchester meadows, alongside other locations across Cambridge, West Sussex, and Hertfordshire.

Speaking to PBS, the programme’s location manager David Halstead revealed: “It’s a small, very pretty, quiet little village, probably about 300 houses and a church. It doesn’t even have a shop, actually.

“[Even so] it did have four pubs-down to three now-and its own gin distillery, which has come in handy!”.

A substantial amount of filming also takes place in Cambridge itself, with production frequently based at King’s College campus. Fortunately, Cambridge boasts numerous streets that require minimal alterations to transport viewers back in time.

Halstead elaborated: “We change some shop frontages, put in our own phone box, cover the yellow lines in the road, but it’s not massive.

“I mean there are great streets in Cambridge that you can make feel like the 1950s in minutes. We use King’s Parade quite regularly. Also, Trinity Lane and Senate House Passage.”

However, the Grantchester production team does encounter one recurring challenge during filming: cyclists.

“You nearly get killed every time you try to film there,” Halstead remarked.

“They refuse to stop for anybody. They just ring a bell and charge at you. Happens every time we go there!”.

When is Grantchester set?

The drama has predominantly been set in the 1950s, with the first series beginning in 1953.

As the programme has progressed, the timeline has advanced accordingly, with Grantchester’s tenth series now taking place in 1962.

The show’s 11th and final series is anticipated to conclude in 1963.

Grantchester continues every Thursday at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.

A fiery first look at Olivia Attwood’s new reality show The Heat features chefs romping with each other and breaking down in tears.

The cooking show with a twist sees ten chefs travel to Barcelona, working under multi Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.

Under Olivia’s watchful eye, the group compete to become the next rising culinary star.

A newly released teaser shows the TV personality, 34, welcoming the contestants and introducing them to Jean-Christophe.

It shows a snapshots of what viewers can expect – from flirty moments, juicy gossip and one pair sharing a kiss.

The trailer then ends with Jean-Christophe saying: ‘Trust me, I will be turning up the heat.’ 

ITV has released a first look at Olivia Attwood’s fiery new reality series The Heat (pictured with chef Jean-Christophe Novelli) 

The cooking show with a twist sees ten chefs travel to Barcelona, working under multi Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean-Christophe 

Drama continues outside the kitchen – with viewers privy to what happens next as professional and personal lives blend. 

The series will launch at 9pm on Tuesday 24th February on ITV2 and ITVX.

ITV announced the ‘absolutely unmissable’ new cooking competition – as well as Olivia and Jean-Christophe’s involvement – in August 2025.

Speaking at the time, Olivia said: ‘It is such an honour to host this brand-new format 

‘Being at the helm of something this fresh and exciting is a total pinch-me moment.’

And chef Jean-Christophe, known for his drive and intensity in the kitchen, said he was equally ‘thrilled’ to join the exciting new series.

‘I’ll be using my passion and unique teaching style to push these young chefs to dig deep, stay sharp and prove they have what it takes to grow, evolve, and make their mark,’ he said.

His years of experience will prove life-changing for the show’s contestants, and Jean-Christophe will mentor the next generation of culinary talent.

Viewers also see the contestants’ lives outside the kitchen – with a teaser showing one pair sharing a kiss 

Viewers don’t have long to wait to see The Heat – as it is set to launch on ITV2 in a matter of days

‘I’ll mentor them to use all five senses together and put it all on the plate, the right way,’ he continued.

‘It’s going to be a wild ride, and I know we’ll discover some true culinary stars along the way. I’m ready. Let’s do this. Allez, Allez – bon appétit!’

ITV’s Paul Mortimer said: ‘The Heat is the perfect fusion of a high-stakes cooking show with real-life drama.

‘And with the fantastic Olivia at the forefront alongside the renowned Jean-Christophe, it’s shaping up to be a new reality obsession for our younger viewers.’

Last month, the former Love Island star confirmed she had split from husband Bradley Dack in an emotional statement.

Since the split, Olivia admitted she has thrown herself into work, documenting her busy day on Wednesday which included a shoot, attending the EE BAFTA Rising Star Party, followed by a late-night spray tan at 11pm.

Colorado State’s first conference football game in the new Pac-12 will feature a rematch of the inaugural contest at Canvas Stadium, when Oregon State visits Fort Collins for the first time since 2017.

That and the rest of the league slate was released by the Pac-12 late Wednesday, allowing CSU to finalize its 2026 schedule, the first in the conference and first under new head coach Jim Mora.

The 12-game schedule features seven home games for the third consecutive season. The Rams will play four nonconference games — three of them at home — before beginning their eight-team conference run, which will end with a new twist.

“We are excited for the 2026 season and to be a part of the new Pac-12,” Mora said in a news release. “It has always been a prominent and well-respected league and we’re looking forward to building off its rich history. Having seven home games means seven opportunities to play in front of our great fans in Canvas Stadium with an amazing home field advantage.”

CSU will open the season at home against Wyoming on Sept. 5. It will be the earliest Border War game in the 127-year history of the rivalry. The previous earliest battle for the Bronze Boot was in 1982 when the teams played Sept. 11.

That first game will be followed by home games against Southern Utah on Sept. 12 and former WAC rival BYU on Sept. 19. The team’s first road game comes at UTSA on Sept. 26.

Pac-12 play will begin Oct. 3 against the Beavers, ahead of CSU’s only bye week of the season. It will then face Texas State on the road Oct. 17. (The release did point out that game could slide to Oct. 15).

The remainder of the conference slate includes: San Diego State at home on Oct. 24; at Utah State on Oct. 31; at home against Boise State on Nov. 7; at Washington State on Nov. 14; and at Fresno State on Nov. 21.

The final weekend of the regular season will feature a flex weekend, which will be a scheduled home game, but the Pac-12 will retain the right to adjust the matchup based on the best interests of the league, including College Football Playoff considerations at that time. A social media post by the conference suggested CSU could host Texas State in that finale.

The Pac-12 championship game is scheduled for Dec. 4.

Newswise — With the global shift toward renewable energy, solid oxide–based electrochemical devices have become essential for hydrogen production, energy storage, and fuel-to-electricity conversion. Traditional oxygen-ion–conducting cells require high operating temperatures, creating cost, durability, and material compatibility challenges. Protonic ceramic cells (PCCs) offer an alternative, operating efficiently at 300–600 °C and allowing the use of cheaper components, improved thermal cycling, and enhanced stability. Despite rapid progress in materials engineering, the fundamental mechanisms governing hydration, proton conduction, and electrode reactions remain insufficiently understood. These gaps hinder rational catalyst design and slow the translation of new materials into practical PCC devices. Based on these challenges, there is a critical need to deeply investigate proton behavior, interfacial chemistry, and catalytic mechanisms.

Researchers from Idaho National Laboratory and collaborating universities published (DOI: 10.1016/j.esci.2025.100437) a comprehensive review on August 2025, in eScience, detailing how diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) is transforming protonic ceramic cell research. The article summarizes recent breakthroughs in applying DRIFTS to oxygen electrodes, proton-conducting electrolytes, and hydrogen electrodes under realistic operating conditions. By capturing surface intermediates and hydration signatures, the review highlights DRIFTS as an essential technique for understanding reaction pathways, improving proton uptake, and guiding next-generation materials design for high-performance PCC systems. This platform was recently reported in a research article by the same group in Energy Environmental Science, providing the substantial evidence on how it is powerful in electrochemical system at elevated temperatures, specifically for PCC.

The review outlines how DRIFTS enables direct observation of surface species and dynamic reactions across PCC components. For oxygen electrodes, DRIFTS detects hydroxyl stretching bands associated with proton uptake, providing insights into triple-conducting materials such as PrNi₀.₅Co₀.₅O₃–δ, PrBaCo₂O₅+δ, and high-entropy perovskites. Doping-induced enhancements—such as Zn-stabilized hydration sites or Cs-driven oxygen vacancy formation—are revealed through stronger –OH peaks and temperature-dependent hydration behavior. DRIFTS also verifies steam-induced structural transformations, including monoclinic-to-cubic transitions and the emergence of multi-phase composites that improve catalytic performance.

For protonic electrolytes, DRIFTS distinguishes Zr–OH–Zr and Zr–OH–X environments, enabling researchers to identify proton trapping, dehydration kinetics, and dopant-dependent hydrogen-bonding effects in materials like Sc- and Y-doped BaZrO₃. The technique further detects carbonate residues that impair sintering, guiding optimized fabrication routes.

In catalytic applications, DRIFTS captures intermediates during CO₂ hydrogenation, methane reforming, and chemical-fuel co-conversion, identifying formates, carbonates, and CO adsorption species crucial to mechanistic understanding. Emerging operando DRIFTS configurations with applied voltage demonstrate the movement of surface protons during real electrochemical reactions, validating proton migration and reaction coupling at electrode interfaces. Collectively, the review shows how DRIFTS bridges fundamental chemistry with practical PCC engineering.

According to the authors, DRIFTS provides a uniquely powerful lens for understanding how PCC materials behave under realistic conditions. They emphasize that the ability to monitor hydration, proton uptake, and catalytic intermediates in real time offers insights unavailable from traditional characterization tools. The authors note that integrating DRIFTS with complementary methods—such as synchrotron-based IR, X-ray spectroscopy, and computational modeling—will further expand its impact. They conclude that establishing operando DRIFTS systems capable of applying electrical load represents a critical next step for unraveling the complex, surface-driven processes that dictate PCC performance.

The review underscores that advancing DRIFTS techniques will accelerate the rational design of PCC materials for clean-energy technologies. Improved understanding of hydration behavior and proton migration can guide the development of durable oxygen electrodes, CO₂-tolerant electrolytes, and carbon-resistant hydrogen electrodes. Insights into reaction intermediates also support catalyst optimization for hydrogen production, CO₂ reduction, methane reforming, and value-added chemical synthesis. As energy systems evolve toward efficiency and sustainability, DRIFTS-enabled mechanistic knowledge will help bridge laboratory discoveries and scalable PCC devices. Ultimately, the authors note that expanding operando DRIFTS capabilities will be essential for building the next generation of robust, high-performance ceramic energy systems.

Montreal’s public health department says the proportion of young people who have experienced some form of violence — whether physical, sexual, or psychological — in their romantic relationships is on the rise.

As well, eight per cent of Montreal high school students aged 14 or older have reported at least one forced sexual encounter in their lifetime. That figure is higher than in two previous surveys, when the average stood both times at five per cent.

The percentage is higher for girls than for boys. In the most recent survey, conducted during the 2022-23 academic year, 12 per cent of girls reported at least one experience of sexual violence; four per cent of boys did.

The data is from the third edition of a survey on the health of high schoolers, for which more than 70,000 students across Quebec aged 14 and older were polled. Previous surveys were conducted in the 2010-11 academic year and the 2016-2017 year.

Results specifically from for Montreal were taken from 5,800 students from 92 schools between October 2022 and May 2023.

“We have seen an upward trend since 2010-11, which was the first edition of the survey,” said Salomé Lemieux, a research officer at the health department and author of the report.

“The figure of eight per cent is still worrying because … it refers to forced sexual relations, whether by a young person or an adult.”

In Montreal, 38 per cent of young people who had been in a romantic relationship report having been a victim of one or more forms of violence (physical, psychological, or sexual) from their partner. In 2010-11, the figure reported was 31 per cent.

“This is also an upward trend since 2010-11, but it can be explained by various factors, such as the fact that technology is now increasingly present in our daily lives,” Lemieux said in an interview.

“Young people have new places where they experience violence: For example, digital surveillance, young people monitoring their social networks, or geolocation for the purpose of controlling the other person are phenomena that we are now seeing a little more,” she said.

As for why the numbers are rising, Lemieux points to the #MeToo movement, which has encouraged victims to speak out since it began in 2017 and has made it easier for young people to recognize and feel more comfortable talking about sexual violence.

“We can ask ourselves about these figures: Is this really an increase in cases, or could it also be an increase in reports of forced sexual relations?” Lemieux said.

She also noted the most recent data was collected toward the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, following a period of social isolation and when youth had reported a degradation of their interpersonal relationships. Other factors, such as low self-esteem, psychological distress, and problematic alcohol consumption, are associated with an increased risk of a young person experiencing violence or inflicting it on others.

The report indicates that intimate relationships marked by violence can have lasting negative impact on people’s mental, physical, and sexual health. Those who experience these situations are at increased risk of psychological distress, engaging in risky behaviours, and repeating the cycle of violence in their future relationships.

For the 2022-23 academic year, 43 per cent of young people in Montreal who had been in at least one romantic relationship in the past year reported having experienced or inflicted physical, psychological, or sexual violence. That figure has remained stable throughout the surveys.

“This is a fairly worrying figure, and we want to see an improvement in this situation. It’s extremely important,” Lemieux said.

The report mentions that in order to reduce violence in intimate relationships in the long term, it is essential to act early. It suggests interventions aimed at strengthening young people’s social skills.

“Ensuring that they know how to resolve conflicts in their friendships, for example. It’s important to start sending these messages early in childhood and to make sure that there are adults around, that there is a support network trained to know how to respond to (situations) and how to connect people to resources for help if they witness … violence in childhood or adolescence,” Lemieux said.

She emphasized the importance of talking about healthy, balanced relationships from an early age.

“And making sure they recognize violence if they experience it, and that they can ask for help as easily as possible,” Lemieux said.

Horizon Health Network’s CEO is calling for “urgent systemic change,” saying the number of people in hospitals waiting for nursing home beds is at a “crisis point.”

Margaret Melanson painted a bleak picture of New Brunswick’s emergency departments while addressing the province’s legislative public accounts committee.

“We’re moving towards having regional nursing homes, as opposed to regional acute care hospitals,” she said.

She said the result has been ambulance offload times double that of the national benchmark, patients having to be treated in hallways and ER wait times that last hours or days.

Melanson said it’s essential for the province to first solve the mounting pressure for long-term care beds.

“It’s reached a crisis point now. Forty per cent of your acute care beds to be filled with people that do not require to be there is honestly an anomaly,” she said.

“This is incredibly frustrating to us, and you know, up until now, not really any light, if I can say, with regard to change that is going to alleviate the situation.”

Meantime, about a third of New Brunswickers — 238,000 patients — are now waiting to be attached to a nurse practitioner or family doctor.

Liberal MLA Sam Johnston told reporters government is working to make those changes.

“Challenges with the health-care system in New Brunswick are nothing new,” said Johnston, who represents Miramichi Bay-Neguac.

“We will come up with solutions to improve bed space in hospitals and primary care aspects in the community.”

However, Melanson said that without “urgent systemic change,” the consequences could be severe.

“The teams work tirelessly daily to see surgical care proceed despite these bed challenges; that is not indefinite. We will have surgical interruptions because we will not have any other places to place patients,” she told MLAs.

For PC MLA Bill Hogan, who represents Woodstock-Hartland, Melanson’s testimony was worrying.

“I’m really concerned about where we’re headed,” he said.

Green Party Leader David Coon said Horizon Health clearly needed more support.

“The health-care system is badly underfunded. [Melanson is] expected to run Horizon Health without the money necessary, and it’s falling apart,” Coon said.
