This talented busker is drawing crowds by creating hypnotic music with old kitchen gadgets – including a carving tray and a SLOW COOKER. The man was filmed on the streets of Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, beating a range of culinary equipment with drumsticks to create a mesmerising beat. His range included several pots and pans, water carriers, lids, a slow cooker and a stainless steel carving tray.

Amongst an ever diversifying spectrum of accommodation options it's difficult to know where hotel brands such as Accor's Novotel fit in. I remember when I got my first bar job there some 12 years ago getting a sense of unease about what the future held for the chain. Five or so big hospitality outlets were due to be opened that year which threatened to reduce their share of the hospitality pie and many offered either new concepts or a distinct product...

On a recent visit through San Fransisco's notorious hippie capital Haight-Ashbury The Guardian's Rory Carroll noted that the spirit of the Beat poets and flower children who gathered there to create a new paradigm of sharing and community has become an illusion. The bohemian idyll of Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters no longer exists, replaced by a gentrified tech-loving media landscape.

This is the heroic moment passers-by rushed to help a seven-year-old boy who had been mown down by an out-of-control car - by LIFTING it off him.
