Self-scanning checkouts in supermarkets have become retail's hot potato this week, with customers split over their potential benefits.

The gadgets have become popular because in theory putting groceries through them by hand could save time for the shopper keen to make a quick exit. But does the reality live up to the promise? Freya Barnes investigates.

The singer, 38, sold her £4.2 million 'house of dreams' in 2016 after she was sued for an 'extremely large amount of money' by a former tour manager, meaning she could no longer pay the money owed. Lily admitted she often checks to see if the property has 'come back on sale' and said she'd 'love to have that house back'.

Afghanistan is once more a hotbed of terror after October 7 mobilised Islamists on an unprecedented scale…as ISIS-K plans to bring carnage to the non-Muslim world, experts warn
ISIS-K is a branch of Islamic State which takes its name from an old Persian term for the region, Khorasan, that included parts of Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, as well as areas of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Having emerged from the rubble of its parent organisation that was largely defeated in 2017 - 2018, it has undergone a transformation into one of the world's most fearsome terrorist movements. Last week's devastating attack on Moscow, in which some 143 civilians were gunned down in an operation claimed by the Afghanistan-based terror group, sparked fresh fears in Europe that the threat of Islamic extremism is resurgent. Professor of Security Studies at King's College London, Dr Peter Neumann, told MailOnline how ISIS-K's increasing strength could bring about more terror attacks on European capitals.

The reinvention of Elin Nordegren: How Tiger Woods' ex-wife got the last laugh by finding love with an NFL star, retraining as a counsellor and buying $50M mansion - after being scorned by golfer cheating with dozens of women
She was catapulted to the front pages when she had one of the most high profile celebrity divorces on the noughties. But, 14 years on Elin Nordegren has largely kept out of the public eye - welcoming two more children and completing her degree in psychology, and retraining as a counsellor. Now 44, the Stockholm-born beauty has gone from nanny to model to half of the most loved sporting couples in America to a scorned WAG who had sympathies from all over the world. This week, she reunited with her ex Tiger Woods , to celebrate their son Charlie's high school state golf championship in Palm Beach, Florida (inset). Right: In 2014, Nordegren was invited to speak at her college graduation after completing her BA.

Seconds after she got out the Jaguar driven by businessman Andrew Key suddenly reversed 60ft backwards at speed. It mounted the sloping bonnet of Miss McDonald's sportscar before coming to rest on its roof. The Jaguar then shot forwards and rammed into the back of a parked Tesla, which shunted a Mercedes in front.

Three children at Aboyne Primary School (inset) in Scotland were removed from images sent via an internet link, giving parents the option to order a photo without them in it. Businesswoman mother-of-two Natalie Pinnell, 38, (left) told MailOnline the decision to omit her nine-year-old daughter Erin (left and right) from her class photo had 'devastated' their family. She described the decision taken by Cornwall-based Tempest Photography as 'inhumane' and said her child had been 'erased from history'. She said: 'You can't erase them because they're inconvenient.

In footage of the wild landing, the TAP Air Portugal Airbus can first be seen soaring through the sky following a flight from Porto Santo, to the airport in Santa Cruz.

In a hear-stopping moment the plane then begins to wobble and nosedive towards the airport ground before being dragged back up into the air.
