Just 300 seconds in the room with the so-called ‘Elephant’s Foot’ will leave you with just two days to live. 

This deadly mystery is a 2m wide lump of solidified lava formed from the molten core of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor.

Due to the intense radiation, only a handful of photos of the Elephant’s foot have ever been taken.  

Even now, almost 40 years since the meltdown, stepping into the room with this object could be deadly and the threat may persist for centuries to come.  

Sir Martin Sorrell will have a spring in his step this weekend after a move into artificial intelligence by his digital advertising agency S4 Capital sent shares soaring.

The company, which was set up by the City tycoon in May 2018, said it has capitalised on its ‘prominent AI positioning’ this year.

S4 won various contracts with clients looking to embed the technology into their businesses for tasks such as copywriting.

But others – particularly tech clients – remained cautious on spending. Group revenues fell 19.7 per cent to £210.2m in the three months to the end of March.

However, optimism over S4’s AI footing sent S4 Capital shares up 17.9 per cent, or 8.26p, to 54.5p. That added £46million to the value of the business, leaving it worth £313m.

And Sorrell’s stake rose by more than £4million to £29.4million. 

The FTSE 100 continued its record-breaking run as the economy roared back from recession and investors looked forward to interest rate cuts this summer.

A clay seal unearthed In Jerusalem dating from the eighth century BC may bear the signature of the Prophet Isaiah, according to author Eilat Mazar

The signature of Prophet Isaiah

A clay seal unearthed in Jerusalem in 2019 dating from the eighth century BC may bear the signature of the Prophet Isaiah, according to Dr. Eilat Mazar of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Isaiah was said to have predicted the coming of the Messiah, which is found in the Book of Isaiah chapter 53.

In the Bible, Isaiah is described as a close advisor to Hezekiah, who was the king of Judah, and the clay seal that may read ‘Prophet Isaiah’ was found near one bearing Hezekiah’s name in the Ophel, an ancient fortified area of Jerusalem.

The outdoor volleyball match at the Officers Mess was their first official engagement on Saturday and once again the couple were the centre of attention.
