'Troubling questions after revelation Zara Tindall has been selling controversial jewellery' King Charles' niece has her own jewellery collection including gems from a mine where traditional Indigenous landowners have warned of serious environmental damage Zara must bling it on Some of the world's most beautiful diamonds come with an ugly environmental legacy. And those paying the price deserve to have their voices heard. Our revelation that Zara Tindall has been selling jewellery containing controversial Argyle pink diamonds raises troubling questions. The King's niece has her own jewellery collection featuring gems from an Australian mine where traditional Indigenous landowners have warned of serious environmental damage. A damning report identified contamination by toxic 'forever chemicals', polluted water, severe erosion and damage to sacred sites, including burial grounds. Yet Zara, a supporter of conservation charities, has promoted jewellery containing these stones costing tens of thousands of pounds. Singer Ellie Goulding was mortified after discovering the controversy surrounding diamonds she wore. Zara should now demand answers from those supplying her collection. Above all, Indigenous communities deserve transparency, proper restoration of their land and a genuine say in its future. No glittering diamond should ever outshine the responsibility to protect our planet and its people. Ballot wrong... Donald Trump faces a humiliating reckoning in next week's US midterm elections as American voters prepare to deliver their verdict on his presidency. His war with Iran, soaring prices and punishing trade tariffs have left families furious and Republicans fighting to save their seats in Congress. Trump's increasingly chaotic campaign has hardly helped. He cancelled two final rallies, then hastily reinstated them amid questions about his willingness to support struggling candidates. Even Republican strongholds such as Texas and Kansas have become fierce battlegrounds. The President's name may be absent from Tuesday's ballot, but his record is at the heart of this election. For the rest of the world, America under Trump has become a frightening example of how quickly a great nation can lose its way. Glorious telly The Traitors kept us gripped, guessing and shouting at our televisions until the very end. With enough backstabbing, betrayal and barefaced lies to put Westminster to shame, it was glorious entertainment. The castle doors may have closed, but we’re already desperate to be let back in.
