Burglars 'break back in' to return urn filled with ashes stolen from Northamptonshire home

Burglars who stole a funeral urn from a family home have broken back in to return it, nearly two weeks after the theft.

The urn, which contained a woman's ashes, was stolen from the home in Northamptonshire on 28 October by two people.

But on Monday, the stolen urn was returned to the home in Wicken - though not the other items, which included jewellery, building materials and tools.

Microsoft Edge is testing a new video translation feature

Microsoft Edge's latest Canary update has an innovative feature: video translation.

Users have noticed a new "Translate" button that becomes visible when hovering over a video. However, now, clicking on this button does not trigger any action.

This upcoming feature in Edge is expected to support translation in four languages. There is a dropdown menu for language selection (English, French, Spanish, and Russian), although the actual translation functionality appears to be in development and does not work yet.
