Tech & Science Daily podcast: Review into UK emergency alert failure for some

The national emergency alert system test didn’t actually work for everyone.

The Government has said the alert was successful for most, but there will be a review looking into what went wrong in some instances.

There were also reports that some phones were left unable to make calls after they had received the notification.

Twitter has given back its blue ticks to some of its users for free but only for high-profile accounts with over one million followers.

Beyoncé, Harry Kane and Victoria Beckham are among the celebrities spotted sporting their ticks again.

A report has found millions of low-income families are missing out on cheap broadband deals.

The communications regulator, Ofcom, which is behind the findings, said it's concerned that people are not getting the right advice when it comes to switching to a social tariff.

And the rest

Northern Lights illuminate the UK sky, the graphene “tattoo” that could help hearts keep their beat and short activity bouts ‘can help type 1 diabetes patients with blood sugar levels’.

Plus, researchers develop a way to break down masks using fresh air and electricity, Titanic inquiry plans sell for £195,000 and the end of Winston Churchill’s favourite tea blend.
