Mysterious street artist Banksy has confirmed a new mural, which surfaced on the side of a building on Finsbury Park’s Hornsey Road in London. The artwork was painted behind a cut-back tree to look like foliage, with a stencil of a person holding a pressure hose next to it. Before Banksy confirmed the artwork was his, James Peak, who created the BBC Radio 4 series The Banksy Story, told BBC News: “To my mind it looks like a dead cert. But as ever with Banksy, you never quite know until he fesses up by posting it on his website.” He was spot on, as the elusive artist confirmed that he was respo...

An $11 billion (€10 billion) acquisition that backfired on Silicon Valley pioneer Hewlett Packard (HP) more than a decade ago will be resurrected Monday during a trial that will explore whether the deal was an illegal rip-off or a case of botched management. The criminal trial in San Francisco federal court revolves around HP's acquisition of UK software maker Autonomy, a deal that was celebrated as a coup when it was announced in 2011, only to blow up into a costly debacle. Before HP wrapped up the deal, Meg Whitman was hired to be CEO of the company started 85 years ago by Bill Hewlett and D...

We know what it’s like to have to leave your home against your will and at short notice. To travel to a new country and try to rebuild your life.

But we all had a life, family, role, and respect in our homelands, and we can tel...

Prue Leith, who was chair of the Royal Society of Arts, sparked the idea in 1994 after writing a letter to the Evening Standard paper suggesting something be done about the empty plinth. Since then, it's b...
