"A whole community’s come out. Hundreds of people have come here to help.

Thomas Tredinnick is the boss of AllyCares that uses sensors to monitor care home residents' rooms overnight, listening out for anything out of the ordinary.It sends an audio recording of any incidents to carers on shift, who can then decide how to act.

Speaking from Oaklands Rest Home in Southampton, which uses the technology, Mr Tredinnick said it saves staff having to perform regular nightly checks, meaning residents can get a better sleep."The care staff are providing care to the residents that need it," he said.He claims it has helped to reduce preventable health events leading to hospital admissions, as it spots things like falls and chest infections before they escalate.

Christine Herbert said her 99-year-old mother Betty is one of the residents being monitored by the technology.She admitted she was uncertain about the use of AI at first, comparing the technology to a "baby monitor".

"When mum came here for the first few nights I did ask for routine checks because I was concerned," she said.

Mrs Herbert said she came around to the technology after the home presented her with data which showed how her mother was monitored and not disturbed during the night."If someone on social media, or an online marketplace, is selling a pet online, ask to view the animal in person or via a video call before paying any money."

She added: "Protect your money and do not pay a deposit or a holding fee without seeing if the animal is genuine first."It is a route which has operated for more than 100 years, but for the UK's longest direct train service linking Aberdeen and Penzance it is finally the end of the line.

The connection - first established back in 1921 - is 775 miles (1,247km) long.However, the packed train from the north east of Scotland on Friday morning was the last to run the route, and arrived in Cornwall more than 13 hours later at 21:40. Operator CrossCountry said the decision to end the service was aimed at a "more efficient timetable".
