Matthew 6:33 (ESV) But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

John 13:34-35

New International Version

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

A stolen van that contained 2,500 pies has been found by police, a Michelin-starred chef has confirmed.

Tommy Banks, who runs award-winning restaurants in North Yorkshire, said the van had been due to drop off the pies, worth £25,000, at York Christmas Market on Monday morning.

However, he believed the white Fiat Ducato had been snatched from a business park in Melmerby, near Ripon, on Sunday night.

The refrigerated van was found abandoned with false number plates in the Hemlington area of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire Police said.

Mr Banks said the vehicle was "badly damaged" and "almost certainly a write-off", while the pies were "damaged and not refrigerated, so are also written off".

He described a tonne of food going to waste as "a real shame" and "just rubbish".

"I don't think the guys who stole the van were necessarily trying to steal pies. I think they were trying to steal a van and the pies were just collateral," Mr Banks added.

The missing pies represented a week's worth of stock, said Mr Banks, who had managed to keep his business open and trading.

"A van is a van, but the amount of work that goes into making pies is huge," he said.

North Yorkshire Police said the van was found abandoned in Cleveland on Friday and reported as stolen on Monday.

A spokesperson added that the vehicle had been forensically examined, with an investigation launched into the theft.

They added: "We are pleased that the owner has now been reunited with his van, but just as sad as everyone else to hear that the tasty pies in the van have sadly perished."

The PlayStation is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released in Japan on 3 December 1994, and most of the world in 1995. Sony began developing it after a failed venture with Nintendo to create a CD-ROM add-on in the early 1990s. The console was primarily designed by Ken Kutaragi and his team in Japan, while additional development was outsourced in the United Kingdom. An emphasis on 3D polygon graphics was placed at the forefront of the console's design. The PlayStation signalled Sony's rise to power in the video game industry. It received acclaim and sold strongly; in less than a decade, it became the first computer entertainment platform to ship more than 100 million units. Its use of compact discs heralded the game industry's transition from cartridges. The PlayStation's success led to a line of successors, beginning with the PlayStation 2 in 2000.

South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol says he will lift martial law that he declared just a few hours ago in a late night move

Less than two hours after his declaration, MPs defied the president, gathering at the National Assembly and voting to block his move

Some broke through barricades or climbed fences to get inside the building; there were scuffles between police and protesters outside

Demonstrators who had gathered outside parliament to protest the sudden introduction of military rule are now celebrating its equally sudden reversal
