Gordon Ramsay has denied allegations made by Brooklyn Beckham regarding his mother, Victoria Beckham, while five European countries have accused Russia of murdering opposition figure Alexei Navalny with a toxin found in a South American frog. In other news, a French rape survivor shared her experience, a new technology is being trialed to help stroke survivors regain movement, and Amazon's Ring has ended a deal with a surveillance firm after facing backlash.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay refuted claims made by Brooklyn Beckham about Victoria Beckham's behavior at his wedding. According to Fox News, Ramsay stated that there was "nothing salacious" at the wedding and that Victoria Beckham was understandably upset by the allegations. The comments came after Brooklyn Beckham made claims in an interview with The Sun.
Meanwhile, five European countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, have accused the Russian government of murdering Alexei Navalny. Samples taken from Navalny's body revealed the presence of epibatidine, a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America, according to the NY Times. The countries asserted that only the Russian government had the means, motive, and opportunity to deploy the toxin.
In France, Gisèle Pelicot, the survivor of a rape trial, shared her experience with the BBC. She described feeling "crushed by horror" upon discovering her husband's crimes, which involved drugging her and inviting dozens of men to rape her. Pelicot, 73, is sharing her story in an upcoming memoir, "A Hymn To Life."
On the technology front, the NHS is trialing new "at home" technology to help stroke survivors regain movement. Amanda James-Hammett, who suffered a stroke six years ago, participated in the trial and said, "It's given me my freedom back," according to BBC Technology. The technology is being tested at 19 NHS sites.
Finally, Amazon's Ring has ended its deal with surveillance firm Flock Safety following public backlash. The agreement, announced in October, would have allowed agencies working with Flock to retrieve video captured on Ring devices. The decision to cancel the deal came after a Ring advertisement aired during the Super Bowl sparked widespread criticism, according to BBC Technology.
