‘Cyber Monday’ Set To Be More Popular Than ‘Black Friday’

More people say they have shopped, or plan to shop, online rather than in stores over the Thanksgiving weekend in the US - that's according to new figures from the National Retail Federation.

They say there's a clear preference for online deals, and many US shoppers are taking advantage of so-called 'Cyber Monday' as they return to work after the long weekend.

REPORTS: LABOUR TO GET 'FREE VOTE' ON SYRIA AIR STRIKES

It's reported that the leader of the UK's opposition Labour Party is to grant his MPs a free vote on whether Britain should extend air strikes into Syria.

Prime Minister David Cameron wants to hold a vote in parliament on bombing Islamic State positions in Syria - the UK is currently only involved in air strikes in Iraq.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn opposes military action in Syria, but many of his MPs believe it should go ahead in the wake of the Paris attacks.

He's understood to be now offering a free vote, but has asked David Cameron to hold an extended two-day debate on the issue in the House of Commons.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says the opposition is in disarray.

Former New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns has been found not guilty of perjury in an eight-week long trial in London.
