Kevin Spacey has been cleared of all charges, including sexual assault and indecent assault, by a U.K. jury. The trial lasted four and a half weeks, during which four men testified against the actor.

A UK trial involving over 60 companies and nearly 3,000 employees showed that 92% of companies intend to continue with a four-day workweek after employees reported improved well-being. Data showed that 39% of employees were less stressed, and 71% had reduced levels of burnout at the end of the trial. Measures of work-life balance also improved, and companies' revenues rose an average of 1.4% during the trial period. However, some companies opted to revert to the 40-hour standard, including one that struggled to keep pace with the trial's demands and saw increased burnout among employees.
