New 'at home' technology is being trialed to help stroke survivors regain movement, while Amazon's Ring has ended a deal with a surveillance firm after facing backlash, and Prince Andrew is facing accusations of sharing a Treasury document with a banking contact, according to recent reports. Additionally, a new "John Wick" video game starring Keanu Reeves was unveiled at a PlayStation showcase, and Heathrow Airport's boss stated that the terminal is not crowded, but people are walking in the "wrong place."
Amanda James-Hammett, who suffered a stroke six years ago, is participating in a nationwide NHS trial testing new "at home" technology designed to help stroke survivors regain hand and arm movement, according to BBC Technology.

Amazon's Ring is dropping a partnership with Flock Safety, a surveillance firm, after facing scrutiny over its privacy practices, BBC Business reported. The deal, announced in October, would have allowed agencies working with Flock to retrieve video captured on Ring devices. The decision came days after a Ring advertisement aired during the Super Bowl sparked widespread backlash.
Prince Andrew is facing another accusation of sharing an official document, with reports that he gave a Treasury briefing to one of his personal business contacts, according to BBC Business. Emails published in the Telegraph suggest that in 2010, the then Prince Andrew asked for information from Treasury officials on banking problems in Iceland. This briefing was shared with Jonathan Rowland, a business connection of Andrew's, whose father David Rowland took over part of a failing Icelandic bank.
The billion-dollar action film series "John Wick" is being turned into a video game, featuring the likeness and voice of star Keanu Reeves, BBC Technology reported. The "Untitled John Wick Game" will be made by Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive and include input from film franchise director Chad Stahelski.

Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 is not crowded; people are just walking in the "wrong place," the airport's boss said, according to BBC Business. Thomas Woldbye told an industry event "all the British people keep to the left and all the Europeans keep to the right", making the terminal feel crowded "when it's not actually." Woldbye added, "And they do that in both directions, so we get everybody crashing into each other, and I see that from personal experience."
