如果她的热门剧集《泰德·拉索》(Ted Lasso) 能激励更多女性在足球领域追求事业，汉娜·瓦丁汉 (Hannah Waddingham) 将会非常高兴——但这项工作必须从学校开始。
“我在学校里从来没踢过足球。我知道玛丽·厄普斯 (Mary Earps)、莉亚·威廉姆森 (Leah Williamson) 和吉尔·斯科特 (Jill Scott) ——她们都曾为了被严肃对待而奋斗，”她说。“这就是需要开始的地方。如果这能鼓励女孩们走上球场，那么，我的天啊——这就是我们想要的。”
这位出生于伦敦的女演员将回归她在《泰德·拉索》中饰演的令人生畏的 AFC Richmond 老板丽贝卡·威尔顿 (Rebecca Welton) 一角。这部 Apple TV+ 的剧集将她推向了全球星光之巅。
这证明了这位单亲母亲——她最近将自己在演艺圈打拼 25 年后一夜成名描述为“美妙的”——终于获得了她应得的所有认可。
但在《泰德·拉索》走红之前，瓦丁汉就已经积累了一份令人印象深刻的履历。
这位身高 5英尺 11英寸的演技派强人曾在《医生》(Doctors)、《荷莉欧克斯》(Hollyoaks) 和《贝尼多姆》(Benidorm) 等经典电视剧中客串，随后在全球热门剧集《性教育》(Sex Education) 和《权力的游戏》(Game Of Thrones) 中贡献了令人难忘的表演。她也是一位备受推崇的西区之星。
但真正让 51 岁的瓦丁汉名声大噪的是将于 8月 5日回归的《泰德·拉索》。她非常享受中年成名的每一秒。“这确实感觉更特别，”她曾说道。“我很庆幸这件事没有发生在 20, 25, 30 岁的时候，因为现在的我知道自己是谁。”
这种自信正是她如此受粉丝欢迎的原因之一。就像《泰德·拉索》中言辞强硬的丽贝卡一样，这位演员并不害怕为自己挺身而出。
在 2024 年主持奥利维尔奖 (Olivier Awards) 之前，她公开指责了一名要求她在红毯上“露腿”的摄影师。
她说：“朋友，你绝不会对一个男人这么说。别这么混蛋。”
该摄影师随后道歉，但这场风波为原本应该是她最自豪的时刻之一投下了阴影。“我正准备去主持整个夜晚的直播，我当时感到难过的是，我被简化成了那样一个话题，而不是关注随后的现场演出，而那是我人生中最伟大的成就之一，”她说。
这位女星与前伴侣、意大利酒店业者詹卢卡·库内托 (Gianluca Cugnetto) 有一名 11 岁的女儿凯蒂 (Kitty)，她最近表示：“我们作为社会中的女性，尤其是年长者，需要鼓励年轻人，以确保我们获得尊重。”
多年来，母亲的身份始终排在首位，但
尽管汉娜在 2014 年凯蒂出生后将剧院工作搁置，但她说，在平衡演戏和育儿时，她感到心力交瘁。
“我马上要离开去为《泰德·拉索》的下一季做宣传，‘母亲的愧疚感’就袭来了，”她上个月说道。“但我必须尝试去克服它。”
在单身八年后，汉娜目前与脊柱外科医生尼克·贝雷斯福德-克莱里 (Nick Beresford-Cleary) 约会。
她将这段关系描述为“真的，真的非常美好”。
新系列的《泰德·拉索》由杰森·苏戴基斯 (Jason Sudeikis) 饰演足球教练泰德，重点讲述执教一支女子球队的故事——看来汉娜对于再次穿上丽贝卡的高跟鞋感到无比兴奋。
在谈到第三季和第四季之间三年的间隔时，她说：“这让我意识到，我唯一不能再在一起的人就是丽贝卡。思念一个只有在你扮演他时才存在的人物，感觉非常奇妙！”

数以万计的非法移民（其中绝大多数为年轻男性）涌入西班牙休达（Ceuta）边境的画面令人触目惊心。但这次最新的涌入并非凭空出现。西班牙或许是最典型的例子，证明了对非法移民采取软弱态度只会招致更多同样的局面。今年 4 月，西班牙政府宣布计划给予该国几乎所有非法移民特赦。他们预测将有 50 万人申请合法定居。事实上，到目前为止已有超过 100 万人申请了该计划。
本月早些时候，西班牙最高法院裁定，经由海路抵达休达的移民不能被自动遣返回摩洛哥。相反，他们必须通过西班牙的常规移民系统进行处理——这一决定向走私网络发出了一个明确信号：帮助人们进入西班牙将不会面临任何实质性的后果。
一旦进入西班牙，非法移民将能够大规模寻求庇护，并且由于欧盟新的《移民与庇护公约》，他们将散布到整个欧洲大陆，所有欧盟国家都有义务接收其中一部分，或者协助（并支付费用）安置他们。
那么，对于非法跨境进入西班牙的人来说，还可能有什么威慑力？这应该是给我们政府的一个警钟，因为令人耻辱的是，我们的政府正在犯与西班牙政府基本相同的错误。
工党一掌权，就废除了上届政府引入的禁止非法移民寻求庇护的规定。在被拒绝的寻求庇护者中，被驱逐出境的人数不足六分之一。而现在内政大臣在谈论开辟更多“安全且合法的途径”，并允许“社区组织”赞助寻求庇护者。
正如西班牙可悲的例子所显示的，如果各国政府不严肃对待自己的边境，非法移民也不会。今天对大规模移民采取软弱态度，永远意味着明天会有更多的大规模移民。如果我们想防止欧洲的移民危机加剧我们自己的边境危机，我们必须明确：非法进入这个国家的人永远不被允许留在这里。
这意味着退出欧洲人权法院（ECHR），并迅速遣返所有非法抵达的人。如果我们现在不采取行动，西班牙自找的移民危机很快就会波及我们的海岸。
“正如西班牙可悲的例子所显示的，如果各国政府不严肃对待自己的边境，非法移民也不会。
“今天对大规模移民采取软弱态度，永远意味着明天会有更多的大规模移民。如果我们想防止欧洲的移民危机加剧我们自己的边境危机，我们必须明确，那些来到这个国家的人”

在移民问题上“令人耻辱地”犯与西班牙同样的错误。数十人在地中海溺亡，他们试图突破摩洛哥与西班牙自治区城市休达的边界，从法尼迪克（Fnideq）沿北非海岸游泳。周四晚上，随着人群冲过水中的尸体涌向塔拉哈尔（Tarajal）海滩，边境管制在混乱中崩溃，这对欧盟领导人来说是一场外交灾难。其他移民在踩踏事件中丧生。
由于西班牙向休达派遣了军队和警察部队——这里距离西班牙本土的加的斯省仅 11 英里——意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼（Giorgia Meloni）要求将马德里政府踢出实行开放边境的申根区。随后，她切断了意大利与西班牙的海路和航线联系。
影子内政部部长拉姆（Lam）女士告诉《每日快报》：“这应该是给我们
政府的一个警钟。工党废除了上届政府引入的禁止非法移民寻求庇护的规定。
“被拒绝的寻求庇护者中，被遣返的人数不足六分之一。
“现在内政大臣在谈论开辟更多‘安全且合法的途径’，并允许‘社区组织’赞助寻求庇护者。”
由 60,000 名非法移民
非法移民将绝不会被允许留在英国。这意味着离开 [欧洲人权公约]，并迅速将每一个非法抵达此处的人遣返。” 内政部消息人士称，如果塞塔的移民抵达地中海对岸的英国领地直布罗陀，他们将无法在英国申请庇护。 西班牙内政部表示，37,500 名进入塞塔的移民随后返回了摩洛哥。 由于初步死亡人数 43 预计将进一步上升，昨日边境防波堤围栏附近的海域布满了浮标、鞋子和遗弃的财物。 摩洛哥军队使用了水炮、催泪瓦斯和路障，试图阻止人们靠近边境。 西班牙 总理 佩德罗·桑切斯 (Pedro Sanchez)
将此次危机归咎于人口贩子，称他们“最终将许多 [移民] 推向死亡”。 但批评者则指责西班牙法院的一项裁决，该裁定禁止将通过海路抵达的移民驱逐出境。他们担心这将意味着更多的人会抵达大陆。 西班牙最近的移民大赦导致在 10 周内有近 1.2 million 人申请该计划。超过 600,000 人已被授予临时工作许可。 昨晚人们担心，一旦移民抵达西班牙，他们就可以大规模申请庇护，并且根据欧盟的《迁移与庇护公约》，他们可能会在整个欧洲大陆被重新分配，成员国必须承担其份额。 批评者坚持认为，这可能会消除任何对移民最初非法进入西班牙的有效威慑。 奈杰尔·法拉奇 (Nigel Farage) 表示：“申根协议为这些移民提供了前往加来（Calais）的便捷路线，除非我们退出欧洲人权法院 (ECHR)，否则我们根本无法阻止他们。他们都将在加来排队跨越英吉利海峡非法进入英国。”
这位英国改革党党魁补充道：“我支持我的朋友乔治亚·梅洛尼 (Giorgia Meloni) 和 [法国国民联盟主席] 若尔丹·巴尔德拉 (Jordan Bardella)，他们表示将采取非常措施来阻止这次入侵。” 欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩 (Ursula von der Leyen) 表示，来自塞塔的“画面是不可接受的”。 她补充道：“我们不能允许任何人不遵守我们的规则就进入我们的联盟。危险的越境行为必须立即停止。而且遣返必须迅速，正如我们的规则所允许的那样。” 而梅洛尼女士则表示：“来自塞塔的画面令人震惊，并再次证明，不受控制的非法移民对欧洲边境的安全构成了具体威胁。” “意大利不会坐视不管。我们准备采取行动，捍卫边境和公民的安全。” 被视为法国下一任总统的巴尔德拉先生表示：“这是一场前所未有的洪水。如果我们不终止这种天真的移民政策，塞塔就是欧洲的未来。面对这一紧急情况，欧盟必须立即”
盲人酒驾者 在高速公路上 行驶了 150 英里
作者：詹姆斯·康诺利 (JAMES CONNOLLY)
一名盲人酒驾司机在深夜通过跟随货车的尾灯行驶了 150 英里，随后被警方发现其车辆向硬路肩漂移。
安东尼·霍尔 (Anthony Hall)，49 岁，在未经允许的情况下使用了其伴侣的车辆，并从西约克郡的哈德斯菲尔德 (Huddersfield) 出发，尽管他已被登记为盲人，且无驾照且未投保。在他前往坎布里亚郡 (Cumbria) 的旅程中，其血液酒精浓度也超过了法定限制。法庭听证称，在这次高速公路行程中没有人死亡或受重伤简直是“奇迹”。
警方在 6 月 29 日凌晨 1.45 左右发现了驾驶欧宝 Meriva 的霍尔。警员观察到该车在车道之间以及向硬路肩漂移。当他们将他拦下时，霍尔承认自己喝了葡萄酒。
他的每 100 毫升呼吸中含有 46mcg 的酒精。法定限制为 35mcg。随后，他透露自己已经失明两年，且是通过跟随重型货车 (HGV) 的灯光在高速公路上导航的，这令警员大为震惊。
来自哈德斯菲尔德的霍尔在卡莱尔的 Rickergate 地方法院出庭，他在那里承认了危险驾驶、酒驾、无证驾驶或无保险驾驶以及未经同意擅自使用伴侣车辆的指控。
量刑被推迟至 9 月 8 日，霍尔在此之前被处以临时驾驶禁令。
“在抗击引渡”

据称，一名英国男子正在抗击被引渡回英国，以面对在塞浦路斯的一座皇家空军 (RAF) 基地为伊朗从事间谍活动的指控。
根据大都会警察局的说法，拉沙德·苏尔塔诺夫 (Rashad Sultanov)，44 岁，拥有英国和阿塞拜疆双重国籍，被指控在 RAF Akrotiri 基地进行敌对监视，并将信息分享给伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队。
苏尔塔诺夫来自北伦敦的伊斯林顿 (Islington)，于 7 月 17 日被捕，目前在引渡程序推进期间被拘留。
据报道，他于周四在利马索尔 (Limassol) 地区法院出庭，审理程序已推迟，直到他获得一名由法律援助资助的英国律师。
他根据《国家安全法》被捕，此前由伦敦反恐警察局牵头，对他去年 5 月 11 日至 6 月 22 日期间在该关键空军基地发生的事件进行了调查。
随着布什入狱， 人们担心可能
独家报道 作者：保罗·吉夫斯 (PAUL JEEVES) 犯罪编辑
人们担心，不法殡仪馆负责人罗伯特·布什 (Robert Bush) 只是一个监管缺失行业的“冰山一角”，该行业在面对最脆弱的丧亲家庭时依赖于信任。
布什，48 岁，在法庭听证其“几乎以工业规模”违反信任后，于昨日被判处 20 年监禁。
他在尸体本应火化后的数月内仍将其保存，将错误的骨灰交给亲属，并收取了丧葬计划的费用却未进行任何安排。他甚至盗窃了在礼拜服务中收集的慈善捐款。
在某些情况下，他将骨灰混在一起，并使用一个公共存储区，将其交给那些向他的公司——位于赫尔 (Hull) 的 Legacy Independent Funeral Directors 要求领取亲人遗骸的家庭。
露西·内斯 (Lucy Ness) 是四名在失去未出生婴儿后被给错骨灰的悲痛女性之一，警方告诉她，布什归还给她的骨灰中包含被认为是动物遗骸的物质。
在首次接受警方质询时，布什嘲讽该行业缺乏监管，导致他的罪行未被察觉。
是谁让尸体腐烂
可能会有“更多案例”
作者：保罗·吉夫斯 (PAUL JEEVES)
四名心碎的母亲在经历噩梦后讲述了其恐怖遭遇，她们的婴儿遗体遭到了被称作“人间败类”的罗伯特·布什 (Robert Bush) 的冷酷无视。 这位堕落的殡葬公司老板交付了伪造的骨灰，私藏尸体并伪造记录。 28 岁的露西·内斯 (Lucy Ness) 在一次流产后认为她的噩梦已经到了极点，直到警方告诉她，她珍藏了三年的骨灰并非人类。 在 2021 年失去孩子后，布什承诺会照顾遗体。然而，露西收到的却是一个被胶水封死在白色骨灰瓮里的动物骨灰。“想到我的孩子是被撒掉了还是直接扔进垃圾桶里，就让我感到恶心，”她抽泣道。 28 岁的凯蒂·伍尔斯顿 (Katie Woolston) 在第四次流产后寻求他的服务。她后来得知，根本没有记录显示她的孩子被火化过，并担心孩子被布什扔进了垃圾桶。她收到的一盒骨灰甚至根本不属于她的孩子。
现在人们担心，该案件暴露的监管治理漏洞可能已被其他不法经营者利用。 一名行业专家告诉《每日快报》，他“肯定”在针对大卫·富勒 (David Fuller) 罪行的另一项独立调查之后会出现更多案例。富勒在英格兰东南部医院的停尸房中虐待了至少 100 名死去的女性和女孩。 全国约有 5,800 家殡仪馆分店，其中约 3,000 家是独立企业。 英国最大的服务提供商 Co-op 的前高级运营经理大卫·诺尔斯 (David Knowles) 表示：“我绝对认为外面还存在另一个罗伯特·布什。如果出现更多此类案件，我一点也不会感到惊讶。” 诺尔斯先生目前在北约克郡的亚姆 (Yarm) 经营一家独立殡仪馆，他敦促政府尽快引入监管许可。 他说：“令人难以置信的是，由于食品卫生法和监管规定，我在足球场外开一家汉堡车竟然比创办殡葬业务还要困难。必须做出改变，因为目前殡仪馆的运作完全依赖于信任。” Pure Cremation 的迪恩·兰布尔 (Dean Lamble) 补充道：“大多数殡葬专业人士以同情心、尊严和诚信服务家庭。然而，极少数确实存在的恶劣行为者在面对监管时没有任何预防措施，这意味着执法是在损害已经造成之后才进行的。” 布什的受害者们要求设立一个独立的法定监管机构，要求所有殡葬服务提供商及其场所必须强制许可，进行具有实际执法权的定期检查，并对标准和合规性保持完全透明。 首相安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 承诺监管机构已在计划之中，并表示布什案令他“深感震惊”。他补充道：“人们会认为这个领域适用最高标准，我们必须确保这些标准确实得到了执行，不能让之前发生的情况再次出现。” 当布什在 2024 年 3 月被捕时，他对缺乏监管这件事发出了嘲笑，告诉警方：“我们是一个高度缺乏监管的行业。”他在一名临时工向警方举报后才被抓获，随后警方在他去美国度假期间突袭了他的殡仪馆。警员发现了 35 具未埋葬的尸体和 100 多个散落在地板上的装有人类骨灰的袋子。 布什在抵达希思罗机场时被逮捕，他对警方抱怨道：“搞得像我是切·格瓦拉之类的人物一样。我没那么复杂。” 他后来承认：“整件事就是一系列糟糕的选择、境遇和债务的累积。” 在被问及为何没有火化尸体时，他以现金流问题为由，并补充道：“我本该联系丧亲服务部门并告诉他们发生了什么，但随后……”
她质问道：“我的孩子被你们放在哪里了？” 当 40 岁的贾斯敏·贝弗利（Jasmine Beverley）失去儿子桑尼（Sunny）时，她信任布什（Bush），因为他处理过她父亲的葬礼。她认为她的孩子已经被火化了，但两年后，桑尼的遗体被发现装在一个袋子里，放在一个冷藏箱的底板上。她说：“我面对的现实是，我的宝贝儿子桑尼在你们手里度过的时间，比在他自己家人身边度过的时间还要长。” 28 岁的斯泰西·福斯特（Stacey Foster）在怀孕 17 周时失去了未出生的儿子汤米（Tommy）。为了拿回他的骨灰，她不得不追讨 Legacy 公司好几周的时间。布什最终交出了一个盒子，并将其归咎于文书工作延迟。斯泰西对重量产生怀疑，后来她发现她的孩子直到她拨打警察求助热线那天之前都没有被火化。布什给了她一个陌生人的骨灰，而她将其制成了纪念珠宝。她说：“他是人间最卑劣的人。”
“我会揭露一切的。”在赫尔（Hull）刑事法院为期一周的量刑听证会上，法院听取了 200 多份来自心碎受害者的陈述，其中包括 31 人的亲属（这些人的遗体本应被火化），以及 50 多名被给错骨灰的人。
警方调查发现，布什与其妻子共领取 210,000 英镑的薪水，他还向 220 多人出售了欺诈性的葬礼计划，将其据为己有——
SABINE GROVEN 来自 Pure Cremation
在此过程中损失了超过 £500,000 的终身积蓄。他还未能将捐款转交给 12 家慈善机构，包括救世军 (Salvation Army)、麦考密伦癌症支持中心 (Macmillan Cancer Support)、英雄援助组织 (Help for Heroes) 和皇家国家救生协会 (RNLI)。
对其财务状况的一项调查显示，在七年时间里，Bush 将 £42,000 挥霍在度假上，£21,000 用于摩托车赛车，以及 £17,400 用于房屋装修。
他承认了 30 项妨碍合法体面安葬罪及盗窃罪。他此前已承认 30 项与在现场发现的遗体相关的虚假陈述欺诈罪，以及四项“胎儿指控”——在这些指控中，他向女性提供骨灰并谎称那是她们未出生婴儿的遗骸。
Bush 还对另一项欺诈指控认罪，涉及 2017 和 2024, 之间的 57 人的骨灰，以及一项与 2012 和 2024 之间葬礼计划相关的欺诈交易罪。
昨天在对其判刑时，希利亚德法官 (Mr Justice Hilliard) 表示：“如果警察没有介入，这种行径将会继续下去。”
亲属表示 Bush 的刑期不够长。米凯拉·鲍德温 (Michaela Baldwin) 的继父丹尼·米德尔顿 (Danny Middleton) 的遗体在 Legacy 被发现，她说他应该被判处“至少 30 年——每一个人至少一年”。
她补充道：“他这么做纯粹是因为太贪婪了。”
乔安娜·穆迪 (Joanne Moody) 的父亲彼得 (Peter) 是在 Legacy 发现的遗体之一，她说 Bush 的判决“令人心碎”。她补充道：“这简直是个笑话，他 10 年后就会出狱。我们任何人都没得到公正——在他出狱时，我们都还活着。”
凯伦·德莱 (Karen Dry) 此前表示，她不确定自己收到的骨灰是否是她父母艾伦和贝蒂·格里芬 (Allan and Betty Griffin) 的，他们在若干年前相继去世。作为 Hull 35 小组的一员，她为其他受害者发声。
她呼吁当地国会议员要求对 Bush 的经营活动进行公开调查，并组织了一项请愿，要求对殡葬业实施更严格的监管。
德莱女士说：“目前依赖于薄弱的行为准则，完全无法在易受伤害的家庭处于深切悲痛和脆弱时期时为他们提供保护。”
照顾逝者是最重要、最敏感的工作之一。难道没有人监督这件事是如何操作的吗？但遗憾的是，事实并非如此。
目前没有强制性的资格要求，没有常规检查，也没有关于逝者在进入殡仪馆照顾后必须如何被对待的国家标准。这在家庭的期望与法律的要求之间留下了巨大的空白——现在是时候填补这个空白了。
兽医受到监管，物理治疗师、驾驶教练、房地产经纪人和大学讲师也是如此。但殡仪馆经营者不受监管，且仅需注册一家企业即可。
在没有任何正式培训、资质或执照的情况下，他们就可以从医院、临终关怀中心或家中接走逝者，将其保存在自己的场所，准备遗体，安排仪式，并将逝者送往火葬场或墓地。
法律并不要求将逝者保存在温控的冷藏停尸房中，也不要求逝者从一开始就安静地安放在自己崭新的棺材里。
虽然有 NAFD、BIFD 和 SAIF 等著名的行业团体。它们提供会员资格并发布指南。但它们不是监管机构。它们不能强制要求殡仪馆必须配备冷藏设备。它们不能强制要求员工进行 DBS 背景审查。而且在出现问题时，它们无法阻止某人继续经营。
因此，当家庭选择一家殡仪馆时，他们信任的是一个法律义务与任何其他小企业主完全相同的人。
大多数殡仪馆经营者都是体面、敬业的人，他们以真正的关怀从事这项工作。
但必须在法律中建立监管机制，以确保该行业的每一个人都达到或高于要求的标准。

创 2022 年以来最高点
作者：NEIL LANCEFIELD
数据显示，由于伊朗石油危机的影响持续，汽油价格处于三年半以来的最高点。
RAC 表示，每升汽油的平均成本为 160p——而中东冲突在 2 月 28 日开始时为 132.8p。
自 7 月 6, 日（当时人们希望石油危机能有所缓解）以来，每升汽油的价格上涨了 9.4p。
上一次价格高于当前水平是在 2022 年 11 月。
柴油价格平均每升 179p，比 4 月 15 日冲突期间的最高点 191.5p 低 12.5p。
RAC 政策主管 Simon Williams 表示：“为一辆家庭用车加满无铅汽油的费用已涨至 £88。”
AA 的 Luke Bosdet 表示，燃料成本的增加“时机非常糟糕”，因为预计在夏季假期期间，下周将有超过 20 million 名英国驾驶员出行。
他敦促驾驶员通过使用由政府 Fuel Finder 服务支持的价格对比应用来“击败高价”。RAC 基金会估计，自伊朗战争开始以来的涨价已导致英国车主额外支付了 £5.5billion。
超级大使馆的努力失败
作者：RHIANNON JAMES
在针对授予规划许可的高等法院挑战失败后，伦敦中国超级大使馆的批评者誓言将继续抗争。
律师已开始申请对昨天的判决提起上诉。
该场地位于伦敦塔对面。皇家造币厂法院居民协会（Royal Mint Court Residents’ Association）认为，大使馆的存在可能会导致恐怖袭击以及对街道抗议活动的镇压。
反对者还担心大使馆工作人员将针对在英的中国异见人士。他们对住房部和塔哈姆莱茨区（Borough of Tower Hamlets）采取了法律行动，但双方均对该主张进行了辩护，称他们“仔细考虑了”居民的担忧。
代表 100 处物业居民和企业的 RMCRA 担心火灾风险，因为由于外交豁免权，安全义务在中国方面将无法强制执行。
但在上个月的高等法院听证会后，两名法官驳回了 RMCRA 的挑战。
影子外交大臣普里蒂·帕特尔（Priti Patel）女爵士表示：“法院的决定是对 安迪·伯纳姆 的一次明确考验。他是否会将我们国家的利益放在首位，勇敢面对北京，保护我们的国家安全，并通过放弃这个项目来做正确的事？”

为在执行任务中受伤的应急服务人员设立勇敢奖章正向现实迈进，这极大地推动了《每日快报》的“致敬我们的 999 英雄”活动。
在活动人士、国会议员与警察事务大臣 Sarah Jones 的第二次会议后，该奖项将提交给一个评审团，这是在呈交给国王之前的阶段。
一名消息人士表示，部长们可能会在夏季解决一些“小问题”，以便在下个月将其“推荐”给荣誉委员会。
目前，还没有为数以千计受伤的警员、消防员和急救人员设立正式的奖项。有些人因为身体和心理创伤而被迫离开工作。
许多人向本报讲述了令人心碎的经历：他们离开了热爱的工作，最终却感到被遗忘和抛弃。
委员会现在将讨论该奖项的公告，对于像前警官 Tom Curry 这样不懈努力的活动人士来说是一个极其积极的信号。
近四年来，他一直在为受伤同事争取认可。
Tom 表示：“这次会议以及部长的 100% 支持以及《每日快报》的支持让我备受鼓舞，我对这件事一定会实现充满信心。”
“有数以千计受伤的前 999 人员，在诸如阵亡将士纪念日这样的日子里，没有任何奖章或其他认可来证明他们的服务。”
“我们欠他们更多，这一国家性的丑闻有望很快得到纠正，通过一个”
一枚简单的奖章。这是该项申请首次提交至荣誉委员会。委员会面前有三种选择——将其提交给国王批准，要求提供进一步信息，或者予以否决。 “考虑到这已经在议会中讨论过且获得了全体一致支持，被否决的可能性极低。” 去年 11 月，下议院讨论了一项关于执行任务期间受伤奖励的动议。该动议获得了巨大的跨党派支持，但直到现在，政府尚未就该奖章能否成为现实给出任何正式的进展答复。 Deborah Adlam 的儿子，警员 Andrew Harper 在 2019 年的一次伯克希尔袭击事件中，在试图拦截一名盗贼团伙的逃跑车辆时殉职。 这位自豪的母亲在 2024 年获得了伊丽莎白徽章（Elizabeth Emblem），这是一项旨在认可已故紧急服务人员而 posthumously（追授）给其家属的奖项。 她表示，为在职受伤人员引入奖项的前景给了她“新的希望，最终目标终于近在眼前”。 Deborah 的儿子案件此前因两名被判过失杀人罪的男子可能根据政府目前已暂停的计划被提前释放而见于新闻报道，她补充道：“我想向所有将从中受益的警员们致敬。” “你无法低估他们的警察职业生涯给警员及其家属生活带来的影响。他们为了保护他人而让自己身陷险境，并致力于警察事业。他们理应获得认可。” “我毫不怀疑 Andrew 也会同意，并深感这是一场重要的运动。” 乔治十字勋章英雄 Tony Gledhill，88 岁，是该项享有盛誉的勇敢奖项仅有的两名在世获得者之一。1966 年，Gledhill 警员及其搭档 Terry McFall 警员在伦敦街头的一次汽车追逐战中，顶着持有散弹枪和手枪的罪犯们的密集子弹雨勇往直前。 Gledhill 先生表示：“这是极好的消息，我为活动发起人们感到高兴。他们做了一项了不起的工作。感谢《每日快报》的支持。” Pam White，67 岁，

在 1983 年 12 月 17 日一场针对哈罗兹百货圣诞购物者的令人作呕的 IRA 炸弹袭击中受伤，该袭击导致她的三名同事和三名平民死亡。 她表示：“我为此等待了 43 年。如果没有《每日快报》的支持，我们无法走到今天。” “能取得目前的进展意味着很多。我对它能够顺利通过非常乐观。” Kris Aves，45 岁，在 2017 年 3 月的威斯敏斯特桥袭击事件中被货车撞击导致瘫痪。 他表示：“收到犯罪与警务部长的最新消息，对我以及许多其他受伤的 999 人员来说意义重大。我们现在终于能看到这枚实至名归的奖章认可之光在隧道尽头闪现。感谢 Tom Curry 的坚持和‘永不放弃’的态度。” 影子警务部长 Matt Vickers 表示，这项建议“早已迟到”，而该奖项本身是“无需思考的正确决定”。 他补充道：“谁能拒绝 Tom 呢？当你听到这些令人难以置信的紧急服务工作者所做出的牺牲的故事时，很难拒绝这件事。” “你不能说不，这已经迟到了，且是他们应得的。” “工党需要赶紧采取行动并执行起来。” 自由民主党议员 Tom Morrison 表示，与警务部长的会面“非常积极”。他补充道：“新的

在 BP 将其北海业务出售后，工党因其“灾难性的净零教条”而遭到猛烈抨击。随着这家能源巨头寻求结束在该海盆 60 年的生产，保守党警告称，这必须成为一个“警钟”。
该党敦促首相 安迪·伯纳姆 为该地区开展更多石油和天然气钻探开绿灯。
但在被问及对这次震惊市场的抛售有何反应时，伯纳姆先生并未给出明确表态，称他对钻探的未来将采取“务实”态度，并正在研究“一系列问题”。
他表示：“显然，我们面临着与 Jackdaw 和 Rosebank [气田和油田] 相关的决定，且还存在与能源利润税相关的问题。”
“我对北海将保持务实。当人们在挣扎且我们需要帮助人们时，你不能忽视你所拥有的资源，但我们将在适当的时候做出进一步决定。”他补充道：“问题不在于英国是否将使用石油和天然气，而在于这些资源来自哪里？”影子商业大臣安德鲁·格里菲斯（Andrew Griffith）表示：“这是一个极其严重的警钟。”
“英国需要竞争——在能源、资本和人才方面——但政府却在继续监管、加税并阻碍投资。工党根本不懂商业。”

影子能源大臣安德鲁·鲍伊（Andrew Bowie）补充道：“BP 在英国海域钻探已有六十年，但由于工党的灾难性净零教条，它正面临灭绝。” “安迪·伯纳姆应当与过去决裂，采取保守党所呼吁的行动，立即批准 Jackdaw 和 Rosebank 钻探点，并取消他们禁止在北海发放新许可的计划。”
英国改革党副党魁理查德·泰斯（Richard Tice）表示，潜在的出售是“对英国失败能源战略的又一次沉重指控”，这使得英国成为“最不吸引石油和天然气投资的地方之一”。他补充说：“北海仍有数十亿桶油气可供生产，但出于某种奇怪的原因，这个政府更倾向于从国外进口能源。”
BP 表示，这一震惊决定是其通过出售部分业务来精简集团战略的一部分。 BP 的美国首席执行官梅格·奥尼尔（Meg O’Neill）于 4 月加入该公司，她认为北海业务“作为另一家公司的一部分将更有利于定位”。
这一公告是在安迪·伯纳姆暗示未来北海钻探之后发布的，他在确认与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的首次通话中表示，“我们不能忽视”北海所蕴藏的资源。 然而，工党 2024 年的竞选宣言承诺，该党将不再发放新的北海许可。BP 的北海业务拥有五个生产中心——两个在北海中部，三个在设得兰群岛以西。在 2025 年，这些中心每天生产约 117,000 桶油当量。 约 1,100 名员工在北海业务部门工作，这是 BP 英国近 14,000 名员工的一部分。
金融科技公司 IG 的首席市场分析师克里斯·博尚普（Chris Beauchamp）将此次出售决定描述为“分水岭时刻”。他说：“当 BP 准备离开，而不再等待政府是否能重启英国能源政策时，这说明了很多问题。”
能源大臣米亚塔·法恩布莱（Miatta Fahnbulleh）于上月接替了备受争议的净零狂热分子埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband），她表示：“我正与 BP 保持密切联系，并已明确表示，我的首要任务是确保在这次出售过程中，工人和当地社区得到保护。”
安德鲁·格里菲斯称 BP 出售为“警钟”
犹太组织在戴安·艾伯特（Diane Abbott）被允许重新加入工党后表示“非常悲伤且非常担忧”。 这位资深国会议员在去年 7 月因反犹主义争议而被暂停党籍，原因是她重复了此前已为此道歉的关于犹太人的言论。
艾伯特女士，72 岁，在 2023 年首次被剥夺工党党鞭资格，原因是一封写给报纸的信，她在信中暗示犹太人、爱尔兰人和旅居者（Traveller people）遭受的是偏见而非种族主义。 这位哈克尼北区和斯托克纽因顿（Hackney North and Stoke Newington）的国会议员随后道歉并被重新接纳进党，但当她为这些言论辩护并坚称并不后悔该事件时，再次被驱逐。
英国犹太人代表委员会主席菲尔·罗森伯格（Phil Rosenberg）说：“我感到悲伤，因为在很多方面，戴安·艾伯特是一个标志性人物——任职时间最长的女性议员、首位黑人女性议员、众议院之母（Mother of the House）。” “因此，你会希望我们在打击各种形式的种族主义中找到共同目标。” “但在反犹主义加剧、甚至出现致命反犹主义的时刻，她一次又一次地发表这些对犹太社区具有攻击性的声明。”
犹太领导委员会补充道：“戴安·艾伯特在坚持她之前已道歉的言论后，被工党暂停党籍。她的言论淡化了针对犹太人的种族主义的严重性。” 该组织补充称，新任首相安迪·伯纳姆“必须解释，恢复戴安·艾伯特的党鞭资格如何能与他对待反犹主义的零容忍态度保持一致”。
艾伯特女士在一份声明中表示：“我一直且将始终是一名终身反种族主义者，并坚决致力于反对一切形式的种族主义。” 据了解，她的重新接纳是遵循工党的正式程序，与安迪·伯纳姆成为党魁没有关联。
批准 青春期 阻断剂试验
作者：CALLUM PARKE
在活动人士发起的法律挑战被一名高等法院法官于昨日驳回后，一项针对青少年的青春期阻断剂临床试验将继续进行。 这项名为 Pathways 的试验将让 220 名具有性别不一致症状的儿童接受青春期抑制激素治疗。 此前的一项审查发现，关于使用青春期阻断剂的证据不足，无法让临床医生和家庭做出知情决定。 由认同自己为跨性别或非二元性别的儿童家长及活动人士组成的 Bayswater 支持小组，试图就该试验对健康研究局和卫生部提起法律诉讼，但该请求被法院驳回。 在总结陈词中，钱伯林法官（Mr Justice Chamberlain）表示：“该试验由 NHS England 委任，并由其共同赞助者在咨询其他专家机构后，以极其谨慎的态度设计而成。” “参与者将是接受专科服务治疗且具有持续性性别不一致症状的儿童。” “每名儿童都将经过专科医生的数月评估。在每宗案例中，治疗团队都将形成结论，认为该儿童有合理的希望获得临床获益。”
预算案日期
约翰·希利（JOHN Healey）将于 10 月 28 日以财政大臣身份提交他的首份预算案，并承诺将“把资金和权力移出 威斯敏斯特”。 希利先生在昨日确认日期时承诺，他的预算案将“建立在财政纪律之上”，并“为企业和家庭提供规划未来所需的部分稳定性”。 然而，在公共财政进一步紧缩的警告中，希利先生在为首相 安迪·伯纳姆 的权力下放优先事项以及增加国防开支寻找更多资金方面，面临着重大挑战。

如果说 詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）在某一方面做得很好，那就是惹恼他人。从票价到与唐纳德·特朗普之间过于亲密的关系，如果你认为这位国际足联主席的任务就是尽可能地激怒尽可能多的人，也是可以原谅的。 但正如欧足联所言，这一次因凡蒂诺已经“越线”，并且做了总统绝不该做的一件事：激怒了他的选民。 谁能想到 2026 年世界杯最大的戏剧性事件竟发生在决赛两周之后？正当他有几天没引起风波时，消息传出，国际足联——至少在名义上是一家非营利组织——计划将部分赛事出售给私人投资者。 这在足坛引起了轩然大波。而当确认国际足联将在 9 月中旬之前，为加入其所谓的“国际足联前行企业计划”（Fifa Forward Enterprise）的国家提供额外资金时，这种愤怒翻倍了。 欧足联率先反击。这个与国际足联不合已久的欧洲足球管理机构，将因凡蒂诺的私募股权噱头撕得粉碎。在与旗下全部 55 个国家举行紧急会议后，欧足联承诺，如果该计划被强行通过，将抵制未来的赛事。
“
中北美及加勒比海足联（Concacaf）虽然没有采取抵制行动，但表示反对该计划。亚洲足联随后也跟进，因此该计划似乎已陷入僵局……但考虑到因凡蒂诺在揣摩他人情绪方面记录相当糟糕，或者说他根本不在意公众认知，如果他继续强行推进，是否令人惊讶？这是借鉴了特朗普的策略手册，而我们知道他非常崇拜这位美国总统。尽管欧足联国家对他竞选持反对态度，但他一直拥有全球南方国家的强力支持。但在一次世界杯之后——某些国家的球迷被禁止进入两个主办国，其中一方因安全顾虑在比赛结束后被禁止留在美国——他的信用额度开始见底。因凡蒂诺在投资计划上进行了一次冒险，假设那些过去支持他的人会为其提供缓冲。但人们一眼就看穿了他的意图。不仅提案危在旦夕，因凡蒂诺的主席之位亦然。一个行尸走肉。
在国际足联高管顾问因其世界杯“出卖”计划而辞职后，安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY Burnham）表示，吉安尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）不是领导国际足联（Fifa）的合适人选。 首相称将赛事股份出售给私人投资者的计划是一个令人愤怒的想法。 这个世界足球管理机构正处于崩溃状态，但因凡蒂诺拒绝让步，并要求各足球协会在 9 月 19 日前支持他的计划。 因凡蒂诺启动了一项磋商，旨在成立一家独立的 200 亿美元公司来运营其赛事，该公司将被命名为“国际足联前进企业”（Fifa Forward Enterprise）。 他的高级顾问之一卡洛斯·科尔代罗（Carlos Cordeiro）因抗议该计划而辞职。当被问及是否认为因凡蒂诺应该随其顾问一同离职时，伯纳姆先生说： “我的观点在加强——这是一个令人愤怒的建议。在我看来，这个想法竟然能被提出，说明国际足联（主席）是领导该组织的错误人选。” 伯纳姆先生是第一个质疑因凡蒂诺地位的主要国家领导人。欧洲足协已经威胁要抵制未来的国际足联赛事，而美国足球协会负责人科尔代罗在辞职时表示，因凡蒂诺的计划是“足球的一桩糟糕交易”。 科尔代罗的辞职发生在亚洲足联表示与欧洲以及中北美及加勒比海地区的同行“坚定团结”之后。 然而，国际足联坚称： “没有人在出卖足球。这不是国际足联会考虑的事情。” 亚足联的声明意味着因凡蒂诺的计划不太可能获得国际足联成员的批准。他需要 211 票中的 106 票，而亚足联、中北美及加勒比海足联和欧足联总共有 136 个成员。 科尔代罗担任国际足联高级顾问近五年，并参与了今年世界杯的白宫工作组，该届赛事由西班牙队夺冠。 这位曾在高盛担任投资银行家的前高管表示：“国际足联的责任不是不惜一切代价地最大化商业回报，而是为后代保护并加强足球。” “当这些原则发生冲突时，足球必须排在第一位。”

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）实在忍不住了。他必须说出那些可能会成为他在唐宁街任期内沉重负担的致命之词。 首相表示，工党结束英吉利海峡移民危机的计划正在发挥作用。然而，在接下来的 24 小时内，有 752 名移民抵达，创下今年纪录。 与此同时，大约 100 名移民试图在法国海岸登上“出租船”时，一名宪兵声称“我们的命令是让他们走”。 不幸的是，周四有四人在尝试穿越英吉利海峡时丧生。那么，首相先生，究竟什么是“发挥作用”了？ 针对这一问题的答案——以及矛盾之处——隐藏在边境安全指挥官邓肯·卡普斯（Duncan Capps）提交给内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德（Shabana Mahmood）的一份报告中。 报告揭露，在由伯纳姆先生的前任基尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）与马哈茂德女士实施的“一进一出”协议下，被遣返回法国的移民人数太少，不足以对英吉利海峡危机产生显著影响。 卡普斯先生在年度报告中告诉内政大臣：“试点计划的评估正在进行中，由于试验仍处于规模扩大阶段，现在就观察其对移民 / 有组织犯罪团伙意图的显著影响还为时过早。” 这一评估是一个打击，因为它是该计划的关键部分。 但情报官员认为，他们已经“削弱”了走私团伙的能力。
“
走
毁灭性的
英国与法国的联合行动导致 48 名“有组织移民犯罪协助者”被捕——卡普斯先生表示，其中许多人“在组织船只出发或供应船只和发动机方面发挥了关键作用”。 敦刻尔克和加来加强的巡逻导致头目们采用了“准时制”生产线，船只和发动机在短短几小时内从仓库（通常在德国）转移到法国海岸。 这些团伙比以往任何时候都更依赖“出租船”——或巨型橡皮艇——以“最大限度地利用现有供应”。在伯纳姆先生发表主张后的 36 小时内，这一点产生了毁灭性的影响。 一名非洲移民在沿着法国海岸乘坐橡皮艇行驶 16 小时后死亡，从卡昂（Caen）北部的圣奥宾叙梅尔（Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer）出发，行驶了 124 英里，随后在布洛涅（Boulogne）南部的哈德洛（Hardelot）和丹内斯（Dannes）之间，有 100 人试图登上该船。 一名阿富汗走私头目告诉《每日快报》，打击行动将会失败，因为“需求太高”。他表示：“需求在增加。人们正在离开自己的国家。他们想去更安全的国家。这就是我们的生意。”
阿富汗人 哈吉·阿杰马尔（Haji Ajmal）补充道： “当需求高时，我们当然会冒险。 “有很多人，特别是来自阿富汗的人，想要来到欧洲。 “他们想去英国……因为有报道称英国的款待非常好，包括酒店。” 内政部本周对此次危机做出了回应，引用了小船移民被遣返人数的“纪录”。 截至 6 月的一年内，共有 2,750 名英吉利海峡抵达者被移除。 但是，正如《每日快报》所揭露的，这些人中极少被遣返回到构成穿越英吉利海峡最大群体的那些国家。
在 2018 和 2025 年之间，共有 96,002 名来自阿富汗、伊朗、伊拉克和厄立特里亚的寻求庇护者乘坐小船抵达。但七年来，仅有 495 人——仅占该人数的 0.5% ——被遣返回这些国家。
被遣返回爱尔兰的小船移民人数（57 人）多于叙利亚（55 人）和阿富汗（16 人）。这是因为工党现在也越来越依赖法国，不仅是为了阻止移民穿越英吉利海峡，还为了接回那些“历史上非常难以遣返”的人。
然而，尽管一直在谈论增加遣返人数，但数万人可能永远不会被驱逐出境。牛津大学移民观察站（Migration Observatory）的研究显示，在 2018 和 2025 年之间，有 27,422 名阿富汗人、19,154 名厄立特里亚人、30,269 名伊朗人、19,157 名伊拉克人和 14,744 名叙利亚人穿越了英吉利海峡。
这凸显了英国目前在控制自身边境方面对其他国家的依赖程度。卡普斯先生告诉马哈茂德女士：“英国促进遣返的能力高度依赖于外部因素，包括合作伙伴在遣返方面的合作意愿；而且许多乘坐小船抵达的人来自不安全的国家，即使其庇护申请未获成功，根据国际法也无法将其遣返。”
这就是为什么如此多的辩论经常集中在英国是否成员《欧洲人权公约》——托利党（保守党）领导人凯米·巴德诺克本周再次强调了这一点。伯纳姆先生表示，穿越人数比去年下降了 42%。但工党计划的一个关键部分是减少对英国的需求。
移民将被强制偿还其酒店费用；如果他们被授予难民身份，在获得定居权之前将面临更长的等待时间。
马哈茂德女士告诉庇护官员，当家庭单位是在没有合法在英居留权的情况下建立时，对于《欧洲人权公约》下关于家庭生活权的第 8 条主张，不应给予“任何权重”。
马哈茂德女士表示， “一旦人们能够做出贡献并回报英国人民的慷慨，我们期望他们这样做”是正确的。
根据目前的计划，他们预计需要支付约 £10,000，因为内政部希望削减每年 £40 亿的庇护开支。
但本周的混乱表明，数千人仍然愿意冒生命危险穿越英吉利海峡。而且，除非非法移民知道他们无法留在英国，否则走私者将继续为他们提供入境路线。
那些让一名男子在充气艇中坐了 16 小时最终导致其死亡的罪犯，不会因为增加了警察巡逻而停止。摧毁走私贸易的方法是移除那些被帮派贩运的人员。
只有那样，伯纳姆先生才能真正声称该计划在发挥作用。 在此之前，这只是在试图限制损失。

摩洛哥移民激增 揭示边境薄弱之危
60,000名移民非法进入西班牙飞地休塔（Ceuta）的震撼场面，让欧洲领导人们意识到了边境薄弱的现实。
这些男女老少在短短24小时内抵达该市，许多人游泳而来，身上套着通常用于度假的橡胶泳圈。
休塔通过直布罗陀海峡与西班牙本土隔开，已成为希望最终抵达欧洲的移民的目标目的地。
该地区的居民深感恐惧，其80,000人口的数量仅略高于来自摩洛哥的抵达人数。
此次涌入显然受到了西班牙最高法院一项裁决的鼓励，该裁决认为，通过水路抵达意味着移民不能被立即遣返回原籍国。
意大利的乔治亚·梅洛尼（Giorgia Meloni）希望西班牙被暂停在申根自由旅行区之外，并得到了芬兰的支持。与此同时，法国加强了与西班牙边境的管制。
西班牙总理佩德罗·桑切斯（Pedro Sanchez）推行开门政策已久，向超过一百万名非法移民提供特赦。
但这位社会主义者的慷慨行为给该集团其他成员带来了影响，这次最新的涌入不出所料地在整个欧盟引起了警觉。
英国此前决定不加入申根区是正确的，且离开该集团意味着我们不参与其寻求庇护者的配额计划。但成功抵达欧洲大陆的非法移民可以自由前往法国，在那里尝试乘坐小船跨境。
今天这或许是一场西班牙危机，但在接下来的几个月里，它的邻国以及最终英国都将面临这一问题。
999勋章近在咫尺
很少有人能像我们的应急服务人员那样，日复一日地冒着生命危险。每一次999报警电话，都为响应的警员、消防员和护理人员带来了潜在风险。
因此，令人惊讶的是，一直以来竟然没有一枚勋章来认可那些在执行任务中受伤的人员。现在，每日快报的“荣誉属于我们的999英雄”活动，在包括前警官汤姆·库里（Tom Curry）等活动人士的推动下，即将纠正这一错误。
数以千计的人在服役期间受伤，因身体和心理创伤而被迫离职，许多人感到被抛弃。但一项奖项提案将提交至荣誉委员会，预计该委员会将对此持积极态度。
这对于许多人来说是个好消息，其中包括德博拉·阿德拉姆（Deborah Adlam），她的儿子警员安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper）在试图拦截窃贼的逃逸车时不幸牺牲。比起大多数人，她更能理解一场平凡的轮班工作如何演变成毁灭性的灾难。
我们希望这些勇敢的男女最终能以他们应得的方式获得认可。
美食节目遭抨击
马可·皮埃尔·怀特（Marco Pierre White）是他那一辈中最出色的厨师，同时也深谙名流世界的运作方式。因此，他竟然对热门美食节目《名厨》（MasterChef）不屑一顾，嘲讽其为真人秀，这令人感到意外。
这是一款轻娱乐节目，这正是数百万人喜爱它的原因，而非一个严肃的烹饪技巧展示秀。毕竟，如果节目里花几个小时刻画艰苦地切洋葱，观众们流泪的原因恐怕就完全不对了。
是时候做一些了
艰难的决定， 不是朋友，安迪！ 不是朋友，安迪！
安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 并没有在犹豫。自从不到两周前进入唐宁街10号以来，他密集地发布了一系列公告——所有这些公告都以流畅的社交媒体视频形式呈现，似乎旨在提醒选民，与前任相比，我们的新任首相要亲切且真实得多。
这些公告的成本正在攀升——取消电费单上的增值税将耗资 £850million；恢复 £2 巴士票价上限将花费超过 5 亿英镑m；终结露宿街头计划耗资 3.4 亿英镑m；而为酒吧和俱乐部降低 20% 的商业率则又是 1 亿英镑m。而且，这一切还没有包括拟议中的国家护理服务、增加市政房屋建设以及到 2035 年将国防开支提高到 GDP 的 3.5% 所需的巨额成本。
无论你认为这些想法是好是坏——我会说好坏参半——问题在于，宣布新政策是简单的一部分。
决定资金从哪里来才是困难所在。
到目前为止，伯纳姆在很大程度上回避了这个问题。
我们将不得不等到秋季的预算案，才能全面了解他打算如何平衡账目。
但我们已经获得了一些线索——为了资助他正在探索的成本极高的社会护理改革，怀特霍尔 (Whitehall) 的官员们已经制定了征收一项新 1.8% 个人所得税的计划。
总得有所牺牲。国家开支正陷入失控。仅在 6 月份，政府债务的利息支出就达到了 £11.8billion——这意味着每小时 1640 万英镑m。
全英国有超过一百万名 16-24 岁的年轻人属于 NEET 族群——即不在教育、就业或培训中。现在人口中每四人就有一人声称残障，而申请残障福利的劳动年龄人口数量自疫情以来激增——从 2.800 万 增加到近四百万。
如果伯纳姆想要让金融市场相信英国并不是一个正走向债务危机的国际弃儿，那么这就是他需要谈论的如何扭转局面之举。
然而，伯纳姆解决青年失业的计划竟然涉及更多的福利——每年高达 £4,500 ——如果其子女成为学徒，这笔钱将发放给领取通用信贷 (Universal Credit) 的父母。
这位新首相拒绝对残障福利进行“粗暴”削减，或具体降低个人独立支付 (PIP) 的权益，尽管事实是精神健康是最大的申请类别，且现在有超过 50 万人因焦虑而领取这些款项。

在这一切之中，伯纳姆支持将对外援助支出恢复至 GDP 的 0.7%，这将每年增加 £14bn 的成本。 当像巴基斯坦这样——一个拥有自己太空计划的核大国——的援助接收方，竟然不愿在换取我们援助的同时，接回他们自己的国民（例如目前我们正试图驱逐但未能成功的罗奇代尔诱拐团伙头目沙比尔·艾哈迈德）时，感觉我们的慷慨被滥用了。 正如俗话所说，“治理即选择”。伯纳姆给人留下的强烈印象是一个讨好者，一个过于渴望被他人喜爱的人。 作为首相，你必须愿意做出艰难的选择——而且，与他之前担任曼彻斯特市长的经历不同，他现在的职责不仅是花钱，还要筹钱。在税收负担处于 70 多年来的最高水平时，他不应该从劳动人民身上榨取更多资金。虽然压榨富人很有诱惑力，但现实情况是，可以成为目标的真正富人越来越少。
我们本周得知，英国百万富翁的总数已跌至 2008 年金融危机以来的最低水平，2025, 年有 442,000 名百万富翁，低于 2021. 年的一百万以上。富人在离开，并带走了潜在的税收收入。 伯纳姆不能在还没决定钱从哪里来之前，就继续像个醉酒的水手一样挥霍。 这将要求他停止尝试与每个人交好，转而对那些继续迷信“金钱树”奇迹的人采取强硬态度。

梅根和哈里坚持发布阿奇和莉莉贝特的照片，但只显示他们的背影。既然我们都非常乐意看到他们的背影（离开），他们是否可以将同样的规则应用于他们自己？ ■
还是关于哈里和梅根——保护他们的费用让加拿大纳税人承担的成本比任何其他 VIP 都要高，包括唐纳德·特朗普和查尔斯国王。在他们 2020 年逃离英国并躲在加拿大后，产生了惊人的 £403,383 费用（这是加拿大皇家骑警的成本）。 这对夫妇真的不够重要，不至于让任何地方的纳税人为这种可疑的陪伴之乐而掏钱。 下次他们想访问时，各国应该礼貌地拒绝。
玛莎（MARKS & Spencer）推出了今年最出色的服装系列，但现在做得太过火了，竟然在推销无裆内裤。天哪，老板们在想什么？我们去 M&S 不是为了性感乐趣。我们要的是优质食物和结实的棉质内裤！
任何担心我们的新首相花钱像个没胳膊的人（形容挥霍无度）的人，他们的担忧都是正确的。“北方之王”在财务上是一场车祸，给曼彻斯特留下了 £1.34billion 的债务——使该地区成为英格兰所有联合当局中债务水平最高的地区。 而且在他担任首相的第一周，他就已经花掉了 £1.67billion。再加上计划用于社会护理的 £19billion，以及天知道还要花多少钱在监狱、移民、福利等方面，他很快就会向国际货币基金组织（IMF）乞求救助。

狡猾的韦斯·斯特里廷 (Wes Streeting) 10 次拒绝表明他是否支持将 GDP 的 3% 用于国防支出。现在他承认他无法表明，因为他根本不知道我们将如何为此提供资金。那么，伯纳姆 (Burnham) 没有资金确保英国自我保护，却有充足的资金用于公交车票和福利金？
为什么我们竟然支付了近十亿英镑给法国人以阻止船只，而本周那里的警察却说他们的指令是直接让他们离开。 而他们确实这么做了——数百人争先恐后地登上超级小艇——导致四人死亡，其中三人为女性。所以，这就是安迪 (Andy) 所说的“我们的计划正在发挥作用”的观点。显然

艾米·巴德诺克（EMI Badenoch）在很多事情上都是正确的，但最正确的一次莫过于她指出这个国家的疯狂净零政策将使英国破产。她称这些政策为“政治虚构”。而我们都知道这部虚构小说的作者——那个气候变化的疯子埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband），感谢上帝，他现在已经卸任了那个“使英国破产”的职责。随着米利班德的离开，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）现在表示他将允许在北海进行更多钻探，专家预测，仅此一项在未来十年内就可产生 £25billion 的额外税收，并支撑数千个就业岗位。但现在是不是该放弃所有净零目标和绿色能源补贴了？因为它们毫无用处且自相矛盾。米利班德曾向我们承诺，他那狂躁的政策将为我们的能源账单削减 £300 ——结果账单反而飙升，现在我们的电价处于发达国家中的最高水平。米利班德始终无法理解，即使我们实现了他所有的净零目标，对全球变暖也根本没有任何影响。我们已经输掉了这场战争，试图禁止毛巾架和滚筒烘干机，就像在溃堤的大坝上贴一块创可贴一样。同样如此的是他坚持要求我们全部开电动车，安装 £14,000 锅炉，并杀掉所有放屁的牛。认为任何这些举措能阻止全球变暖，纯属幻想般的胡说八道。是的，气候变化是真实的，但英国对此绝对无能为力。我们的全球排放量仅占 0.8%，而中国产生 32%，且现在的二氧化碳排放量比 20 年前还要多。是的，英国在过去 20 年中将排放量降低了 44%，但这毫无作用。我们仍然面临干旱；今年夏天到目前为止，这里和欧洲已经出现了三次所谓的“热浪”。而当那些气候变化的泼妇急于将一系列山火归咎于
84, 岁时，保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）与奥利维亚·迪恩（Olivia Dean）和雷（Raye）一同入围了声名卓著的水星音乐奖 12 人短名单。最近听过麦卡唱过歌的人都知道，他听起来像个患有扁桃腺炎的猫。所以，我不禁认为这是一个典型的“在老伙计从高位跌落之前赶紧把奖给他”的奖项。
气候变化时，全球山火信息系统表示，今年的山火数量是自 2012. 年开始记录以来最低的。底线是，“气候变化”已成为各地政客的通用借口，用来掩盖他们没有采取适当措施预防山火的事实。那些实施软管禁令的水务公司也是如此，这与气候变化毫无关系，完全是因为陈旧且渗漏的系统，每年渗漏一万亿升水。我们的政客应该为我们——更重要的是为经济——做的是帮助这个国家适应更炎热的天气。由于关于空调设备的疯狂净零指南，目前医院的手术正被取消，关键的血液检测也被取消。这简直是疯狂！所以，就因为白痴米利班德对空调设置净零限制，我们就让人们死去？我们还需要
那位备受尊敬的凯西男爵夫人（Baroness Casey）本周表示，英国的福利国家如此宽松，甚至连她也能符合领取福利的条件。“ 1,700 万人被归类为残疾？我完全不信，”她说。问题是，伯纳姆是否有胆量削减福利，而不是把努力工作的人税收压榨到极致？
并非如此。而抵达人数下降（伯纳姆吹嘘这是由于工党的功劳）的原因是最近的天气恶劣。现在情况发生了变化，过去 10 天有 1,600 人抵达，使今年的总数达到 14,128 人。安迪·伯纳姆该停止谈论他那些像“北 10 号”一样愚蠢的虚荣项目，而集中关注英国人最关心的问题了。
所有新公寓和房屋都配备空调。我们需要照顾好我们的田野和森林以降低火灾风险，并且必须取消所有绿色能源补贴——这些补贴给每份能源账单增加了 12%。无论我们做什么，英国都无法解决全球变暖问题。至于那些说我们应该忘记世界其他地方在做什么而至少尝试努力的人——这很愚蠢。因为我们必须根据净零政策在现实世界中的影响和后果来对其进行评判。事实是，我们那些疯狂的、昂贵得令人窒息的、毫无意义的政策完全没有全球影响力，因为无论我们做什么，都会立即被中国的行为所抵消——但这些政策却在削弱我们的经济。许多国家正在遵循理性的、节奏适当的二氧化碳减排政策，这才是正确的方向，但我们向净零目标的疯狂冲刺必须停止。虽然那个疯子米利班德已经离开了，但他的接任者是一个更极端的环保狂热分子，名叫米娅塔·法恩布勒，所以这种疯狂将继续下去。
——失控的非法移民。在情况变得困难时采取鸵鸟政策在曼彻斯特或许行得通，但现在他成了首相，这绝对行不通。 他甚至不想讨论移民问题，这一事实表明了他的胆怯，以及他对如何处理此事毫无头绪。他可以从要求马克龙归还我们的资金开始。

一名声称自己“太虚弱”甚至无法拿起电话的福利骗子，被发现参加 10k 赛跑并攀爬脚手架。 Ryan Scott，39 岁，在向当局声称一次工作场所事故导致他行动不便，无法完成基本任务后，一直领取残疾福利。 但一次举报引导调查人员发现了他在完成一场 10k 赛跑的照片，以及显示他已恢复抹灰工作的银行记录。 来自德文郡托基（Torquay）的 Scott 被拍到攀爬梯子、搬运沉重设备

以及给墙壁抹灰。埃克塞特地方法院听证称，他在 2023-24 年度健康状况好转后，仍骗领了超过 £7,600 的个人独立付款（Personal Independence Payment），而他并不具备领取资格。他在周四被判处 15 天的社区矫正令，并必须支付总计 £360 的罚金、诉讼费和受害者附加费。 Scott 告诉法院，他当时的状态并不好，并补充道：“我想为我造成的任何麻烦道歉。”他目前正在偿还这笔钱。

赛船之日
英吉利海峡正变成一个相当热闹的射击场，不是吗？紧随一艘俄罗斯军舰在普利茅斯附近开火之后，本周，影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普（Chris Philp）在距离法国格里内岬（Cap Gris-Nez）两海里的船上漂浮时，被附近一艘法国海军舰艇发出的快速密集射击声惊吓到了。
那并非大炮的轰鸣。而是一名法国军官在“试射”他的配枪：17次清晰可见的“啪-啪-啪”声，当时菲尔普正录制一段关于最新一波将非法移民带到英国的小船潮的 BBC 电视采访。
他对此感到极大的个人受辱。他在随后的向任何人抱怨道：“这是蓄意恐吓我的企图。”
荒谬，是法国人轻蔑的回应。当一名海军发言人表示所有试射协议和警告均已严格执行时，你几乎能看到那种典型的法式轻视耸肩。
我必须说，我很难想象法国军舰桥楼上的某人盯着另一艘船（几百码外）通过双筒望远镜惊呼：“哎呀！我的天！那是菲尔普先生，‘影子’内政大臣！开火！！！”
我是说，真的。
菲尔普先生真正应该感到焦虑的——而且公平地说，在他把这个刺激的故事告诉所有愿意倾听的人之后，他也确实焦虑了——并不是远处手枪的啪啪声，而是又一艘载满寻求庇护者的橡胶船传来的噗噗声。据信，在菲尔普先生与法国海军发生摩擦的第二天，有超过 700 名移民横跨海峡。
而就在此前的 24 小时，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）还声称阻止小船的计划“正在发挥作用”。也许他在技术层面上和字面意思上都是正确的——本周的一艘船体积极大，是迄今为止最大的一艘，船上挤满了数百名男女和儿童。无论怎么想象，这都算不上是一艘“小”船。
也许现在是时候让伯纳姆承诺去阻止“大”船了。他真的得跟上形势。
一连串的民意调查似乎表明，英国大多数人并不准备为自己的国家而战，更不用说牺牲了。YouGov 7 月的一项调查显示，如果发生入侵（推测是由俄罗斯发起的），只有 6% 的人愿意自愿拿起武器。
仅在两个月前，格拉斯哥大学一项针对 Z 世代的调查显示，16 到 29 岁之间的年轻人中，有 50% 将直接拒绝保卫这片海岸。
当然，这让人想起 1933 年牛津大学联盟（Oxford Union）那场著名的辩论，议题是：“本院在任何情况下都不会为国王和国家而战。”该议题以压倒性多数通过。六年之后，英国青年的精英们却在排队准备迎战希特勒。
我同意《星期日泰晤士报》专栏作家夏洛特·艾弗斯（Charlotte Ivers）的看法，她在本周风趣地写道，这类民调实际上在问：“你现在是不是在闹脾气，想借此机会在公开场合表达这种情绪？”真正的生存威胁往往会剥离所有这些自我满足的虚饰。看看乌克兰就知道了。
英国最受喜爱的夫妻档，每周六在您的《每日快报》中回顾本周事件。
把他们关起来，把牢门焊死
“你不能强迫人们去关心那些人渣的死活。” “啊？”我从路边咖啡馆的桌子旁抬起头。那是一位公交车司机，在行人过路处短暂停靠，正通过打开的车窗向我喊话。 “我说，你不能强迫正直的普通人去关心一个进监狱的败类会遭遇什么。里奇，下次你采访政府那些家伙关于这件事时，记得引用我的话。” “我们受够了。我们根本不在乎监狱是否过度拥挤。多扔一条毯子进去，让他们自生自灭就行。只要别让那些混蛋早早出狱。” 绿灯亮了，他愉快地向我挥了挥手，然后开车离去。 现在，这次本周早些时候在北伦敦发生的简短对话，有趣之处在于：它的普遍情绪几乎完全镜像了我两个月前在 5,000 英里外的萨尔瓦多街道上听到的观点。 在那里，该国崭新的 CECOT 超级监狱将数千名杀手、绑架者和强奸犯关押在难以置信的严酷（虽然一尘不染）的环境中。一个牢房关 100 个人。每天被关押 23 个半小时。不允许携带任何物品——没有书、杂志、屏幕或游戏。统统没有。灯光 24 / 7 全天候强光照射。 CECOT 违反了人权，这毫无疑问。但你知道吗？萨尔瓦多的好人们（他们确实是好人；热情、好客、善良且聪明）根本不在乎。为什么？因为他们被逼得太惨了。多年来，那些现在被关在 CECOT 监狱里的犯罪帮派掌握着主导权，恐怖统治着整个国家。现在形势反转了，普通的、守法的萨尔瓦多人对此感到非常痛快。他们在复仇中获得快感。 显然，我们这里并没有像那个中美洲小国被折磨了几十年那样严重的虐待性犯罪，但这里的正直之辈已经对我们自己的犯罪底层阶级似乎总能逃避行为后果的方式失去了耐心。
毫无疑问，凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）开始触及其他保守党领导人从未触及的群体。本周有消息称，莫琳·利普曼夫人（Dame Maureen Lipman）——一名坚定支持工党五十年的支持者，直到她在埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）领导期间感到失望——可能会成为一名首次投票给 托利党（保守党） 的选民。为什么？因为凯米。 “她演讲得非常好，”莫琳说，“她有魅力，深思熟虑，聪明……我喜欢她。当我用铅笔在蓝色方块（保守党选项）上徘徊时，我会仔细考虑。但我真的很喜欢她。” 凯米下一个会争取到谁？乔治·加洛韦（George Galloway）？杰里米·科尔宾（Jeremy Corbyn）？（噢，拜托。女人也可以做梦，不是吗？）
地球上的监狱，萨尔瓦多臭名昭著的残酷超级监狱 CECOT
本周在 GMB 节目中，凯特·加拉韦（Kate Garraway）和我采访了从伦敦快递员转行为扒手猎手的迭戈·加尔迪诺（Diego Galdino）。这个非凡的年轻人厌倦了看到扒手在牛津街和白金汉宫外等犯罪热点地区肆无忌惮地活动。于是他辞去了工作，现在在街上巡逻，每当发现“扒手”作案时，就进行完全合法的公民逮捕。他用红色油漆喷在他们身上，将失窃的贵重物品归还给惊讶（且深表感激）的主人，然后报警。 伦敦市长萨迪克·汗（Sadiq Khan）希望他停止这种行为。他将加尔迪诺描述为“私刑者”。但汗市长与公众舆论完全脱节。我们收到的 90% 以上的观众来电都全力支持加尔迪诺：许多人要求给他颁发勋章。 这就是当正直的人意识到罪犯在“逍遥法外”时会发生的事情。他们要么自行执法，要么渴望复仇。这两者都已经在这里发生了。 安迪有话直说
我直言不讳，我必须说，安迪·伯纳姆周三就解决英国护理危机的即兴演讲给我留下了相当深刻的印象。
我在从早餐节目开车回家时，在车载广播中听到了全程。起初，我已经做好了心理准备，认为这又会是一场“我只是个普通的曼彻斯特佬”之类的陈词滥调。
我错了，伯纳姆先生，我向您道歉。您的演讲有力、感人、激昂且富有智慧。
诚然，我们的新任首相并没有说明如何解决惊人之高的护理成本。我怀疑，就像大多数凝视这座矗立在我们中间的大山的人一样，他也不确定登顶的正确路径是什么。
但我赞赏他坚持要求将护理独立调查结果提前整整一年提交的决定。这让人联想到丘吉尔那种“立即采取行动”的方式。（没想过我会这样评价“我们的安迪”）。我也欣赏他显然的诚意，以及将反对党纳入决策核心的决心。“我们必须倾听彼此，”他不断这样说道。我认为他是认真的。
我是一个愤世嫉俗的老记者，但正如我所说，我直言不讳。我觉得伯纳姆令人信服且深思熟虑——并且愿意两手抓起一个格外棘手的问题。他做得很好。
成年人为已婚状态
作者：伊恩·琼斯 (IAN JONES)
在过去十年中，已婚或登记民事伴侣关系的比例下降至 50% 左右。而从未结婚或未登记过民事伴侣关系的人数比例则在上升。同性婚姻人数也稳步增加，目前在所有婚姻关系中约占 100 分之一。
根据国家统计局提供的英格兰和威尔士的数据，这些数据适用于 2025 年，且是首次仅反映 18 岁及以上人群婚姻状况的数据。此前的数据涵盖 16 岁以上人群，但 2023 年生效的一项法律变更将最低年龄提高到了 18 岁。
数据显示，2025 年 51.1% 的成年人为已婚或登记民事伴侣，低于 2015 年的 52.3%。那些从未处于某种国家认可的结合状态的人数比例从 32.6% 上升至 2025 年的 34.9%。约 3.9 million 人离婚，3 million 人丧偶。
Betfred 裁员 600 人并关闭门店
作者：亨利·塞克-克拉克 (HENRY SAKER-CLARK)
BETFRED 将关闭 132 家门店并裁员 600 多人，将其归咎于税收提高和经济不确定性。从 9 月起开始的关闭行动将使这家博彩公司在英国保留约 1,100 家分店。关于裁员的磋商已经启动。
这家总部位于沃灵顿的公司由弗雷德·多恩 (Fred Done) 和彼得·多恩 (Peter Done) 兄弟于 1967. 年创立。据估计，他们的财富为 £3.61bn。
首席执行官乔·惠特克 (Jo Whittaker) 表示：“雇主国民保险缴款增加、工资上涨、博彩税增加以及更广泛的经济不确定性共同产生的影响，使我们别无选择。”
“我们现在的首要任务是支持受影响的同事。”
今年 1 月，William Hill 和 888 的所有者 Evoke 确认将关闭约 270 家投注店并削减成本。去年 10 月，Paddy Power 透露计划在英国和爱尔兰关闭 57 家门店。
舞蹈课杀手阿克塞尔·鲁达库巴纳 (Axel Rudakubana) 将因在贝尔马什监狱 (HMP Belmarsh) 期间袭击狱警而被起诉。
这名 19 岁的持刀凶手于 July 29, 2024 在默西塞德郡的索斯波特杀害了 7 岁的 Elsie Dot Stancombe、6 岁的 Bebe King 和 9 岁的 Alice da Silva Aguiar，并造成 8 名儿童和 2 名成年人受伤。
去年 1 月，他在利物浦刑事法院被判处最低 52 年监禁。
操纵
但上周，当司法部确认鲁达库巴纳（Rudakubana）已从高度戒备监狱被转移到布罗德摩尔（Broadmoor）精神病医院时，女孩们的家属反应极其愤怒。克里斯·沃克（Chris Walker）是受害者家属的律师，他表示，他们“不相信”其因心理健康问题而转移的“正当性”，并怀疑这是在试图“操纵系统”。
现在，伦敦警察厅透露，鲁达库巴纳在从伦敦东南部贝尔马什（Belmarsh）监狱转移前，被指控袭击了三名工作人员。他被指控在 2025 年 5 月 6 日袭击一名紧急工作人员，5 月 8 日企图造成严重身体伤害，6 月 26 日在狱中持有攻击性武器，以及 10 月 28 日袭击一名紧急工作人员。
去年 5 月，据称鲁达库巴纳曾将水壶中的沸水淋在一名监狱狱警身上。他此前与曼彻斯特竞技场恐怖分子哈希姆·阿贝迪（Hashem Abedi）处于贝尔马什监狱的同一个安全单元，后者据称在 2025 年 4 月于达勒姆郡（Co Durham）的弗兰克兰（Frankland）监狱袭击了狱警。
警察厅表示，鲁达库巴纳将于 9 月 11 日通过视频方式在威斯敏斯特（Westminster）治安法院出庭。
由于精神障碍而具有较高风险且无法在监狱中安全管理的罪犯，可以被转移到安全精神科单元，并作为病人而非囚犯接受治疗。位于伯克郡（Berkshire）的布罗德摩尔医院是英国三家高度戒备医院中最古老的一家，曾关押过一些最臭名昭著的罪犯，包括帮派头目罗尼·克雷（Ronnie Kray）和连环杀手彼得·萨特克利夫（Peter Sutcliffe，即“约克郡开膛手”）。
根据《精神健康法》，代表司法大臣行事的官员除了接受临床专业人员将囚犯转移到安全设施的建议之外，别无选择。在安全医院的罪犯在返回监狱或被释放回社区之前，必须参与治疗和疗法。如果不再需要医院护理，该法允许其迅速返回监狱。
沃克先生在谈到鲁达库巴纳的转移时表示：“我们面对的是一个邪恶的人，但邪恶并不意味着你患有精神病。”
“我们需要知道这是否是一个单一事件，是否是经常性事件，还是他在玩弄系统？”
他补充说，这件事发生在自他大肆杀戮以来几乎正好两年，这“是 AR 的另一个举动，他似乎在试图……操纵系统”。
监狱官员协会表示，鲁达库巴纳的转移是因为其心理健康状况恶化。

哈里王子。尽管如此，如果贝克汉姆夫妇希望看起来像是英国建制派不可或缺的一部分，那么出席所有正确的活动就至关重要。例如，他们既出席了威廉王子与凯特·米德尔顿的婚礼（庄重、肃穆、正式），也出席了哈里王子与梅根·马克尔的婚礼（名流云集，略显超现实）；而且众所周知，大卫曾排队向已故的伊丽莎白二世表达敬意，因其坚忍地愿意花数小时在夜间排队，而非利用其一线名流身份插队而赢得了赞誉。
最终，他所有的努力都得到了回报，并在去年 11 月被封为大卫爵士——此次授勋是因为他对体育和慈善事业的贡献。
据说，大卫与查尔斯国王之间的关系尤其温暖且亲密，基于相互尊重。两人今年早些时候甚至为切尔西花展设计了一个花园，并且显然在养蜂和其他园艺活动方面共同交流心得。
然而，在一个不那么关乎园艺的方面，这两个男人很可能是因为面对的家庭困境而建立了联系。正如哈里王子在 2020 年出名地脱离王室——这一进展后来被戏称为“Megxit”——同样地，布鲁克林·贝克汉姆今年 1 月在 Instagram 上发布的一系列非同寻常的故事，将整个“贝克汉姆品牌”的大厦彻底公开地拆解给所有人看，这也被赋予了一个绰号，叫作“Beckxit”。
在这两种情况下，儿子脱离备受推崇的机构都演变成了国际新闻，导致人们在这些不文明的战争中选边站队。
布鲁克林和哈里都吸引了支持者，后者声称他们受到了家庭的不公正对待；同时也吸引了反对者，后者将他们描述为渴望关注且忘恩负义。许多其他人注意到了他们美国妻子（尼古拉·佩尔茨和梅根）的影响，并询问他们是否对丈夫产生了与当年辛普森夫人对爱德华八世相同的控制力——后者为了娶她而放弃王位，随后成为温莎公爵与公爵夫人。
无论如何，贝克汉姆家族和温莎家族的家庭关系在未来多年里必然将继续成为人们关注的焦点。写一本关于贝克汉姆的书，且副标题为《一场王室之恋》，在某些人看来可能很荒谬，甚至狂妄。毕竟，英国王室是一个历史悠久的王朝，存在了数百年，并与巨大的金钱、权力及威望绑定在一起。
贝克汉姆夫妇虽是国际巨星，但成名仅有数十年，而且尽管大卫和维多利亚身体状况极佳，但他们无法永生。
他们的孩子是否会像父母那样延续“贝克汉姆品牌”目前还不明确。
布鲁克林甚至张扬地将自己的名字改为佩尔茨·贝克汉姆，标志着他对新的美国家庭的忠诚；传闻他与同样被王室放逐的哈里王子建立了友谊，在其中他们毫无疑问地讨论过他们有多么厌恶自己的家庭。
S
尽管如此，贝克汉姆家族和温莎家族一样，仍然是所有人（从王室观察者到名人粉丝）关注的对象。他们的生活极其宏大，在最宽广的画布上铺展开来。我们为他们经历中交织的魅力与丑闻而感到兴奋，以一种难以置信且觉得好笑的复杂心情观看最新报道，并热切地交换关于他们在私下里究竟是什么样子的八卦。
这两个英国“王室”——一个官方，一个大众——继续展示了在 21 世纪成名是什么样子，且这两个家族之间的相似之处现在远比差异之处更为显著。这些“王室事务”在短期内没有变得不那么有趣的迹象，对此我们都应该心存感激。

关于 Naga Munchetty 获得 BBC Radio 5 Live 优质早餐节目主持职位的争议已经爆发，据称她受到了特殊照顾。
这位 51 岁的明星在离开担任 17 年的 BBC 电视节目沙发后，获得了这个旗舰岗位的任命。
但该电台的内部人士称，5 Live 内部对公司处理此事的方式感到“震惊”。人们对此感到愤怒，因为 Munchetty 协商达成了一项协议，每周有三天在索尔福德 (Salford) 演播室工作，两天在靠近其赫特福得郡 (Hertfordshire) 家中的伦敦工作。
与此同时，她未来的共同主持人预计则需要每周五天在索尔福德工作。一名消息人士表示：“许多人认为这并不公平，管理层给了她特殊待遇。”
此外，人们还对该职位没有公开招聘感到不快，而她的共同主持人职位则进行了招聘。该消息人士补充道：“人们感到不安，因为这个职位是直接交给她的，而潜在的共同主持人则必须通过竞争来争取这份工作。”
这项为期两年的固定期限合同广告确认，入围候选人将被要求录制试播集，并且要求“每周五天在我们的索尔福德演播室工作”。
该消息人士表示：“Naga 是板上钉钉的，而她的共同主持人则被要求经历重重考验……在某些人看来这并不公平。”
BBC 消息人士告诉《镜报》，5 Live 的主持人从英国不同地点进行广播并不罕见，资深主持人在不同节目之间流动，以及测试不同的主持组合也是正常现象。
这份“首席主持人”的招聘广告列出了该职位所需的一系列特质，包括“性格温暖，能够看到生活幽默的一面”。
此前，作为 BBC 薪酬最高明星之一（年薪 £365,000,）的 Munchetty 曾面临欺凌初级员工的指控。内部人士称，她被指羞辱一名女性同事，并因为一名实习生在吐司上涂抹 Marmite 面酱的方式不正确而对其进行训斥。
一名消息人士表示：“考虑到在 BBC Breakfast 节目中引起的所有骚动，该广告的措辞引起了一些人的关注。”目前在 5 Live 主持一个上午谈话节目的 Munchetty，据报道在 2022 年因在非播出期间对性行为发表了“粗鲁、不恰当且极其不专业”的评论而受到电台管理层的训诫。
Munchetty 此前在 BBC Breakfast 节目中也曾引起过不快，对象包括嘉宾及其共同主持人。据报道，管理层就一次采访向辣妹组合成员 Geri Horner 表达了歉意，在这次采访中 Munchetty 问道：“你不喜欢被采访吗？”
她还因为开天气预报员 Carol Kirkwood 离职的玩笑而遭到抵制，称她正“等待她离开的倒计时”。
Munchetty 还对 Sally Nugent 的新发型打趣道：“我们应该是严肃的记者，而不是试图让自己看起来像是在主持《This Morning》。”
她从未对任何指控发表评论。然而，该公司去年对 BBC Breakfast 的指控启动了审查，目前该审查已不再进行。一名 BBC 消息人士表示：“对 Naga 来说，这份新工作似乎是对所有人的最佳结果。在 Breakfast 节目组里，气氛并不愉快。”但他们补充道：“无论怎么看，主持 BBC Breakfast 都是比在 5 Live 工作大得多的职务。”
此外，她还与 BBC Breakfast 的编辑 Richard Frediani 产生分歧，据报道 Munchetty 对其行为提出了质疑。后者后来被证明没有欺凌行为。
Munchetty 首次加入 BBC Breakfast 是在 2009 年，并从 2014 年起与 Charlie Stayt 共同主持。
她和她的新共同主持人将于明年 1 月接替 Rachel Burden 和 Rick Edwards 的 5 Live 早餐时段，后者将于 12 月离职。

唐纳德·特朗普声称，哈马斯已同意一项具有历史意义的协议，放弃其武器，作为结束加沙战争潜在的第一步。 这位美国总统在社交媒体上宣布，该恐怖组织已同意“完全解除武装”，他将其描述为迈向战火纷飞的巴勒斯坦领土实现“和平与安全”的“里程碑式一步”。

自 1994 年在《四个婚礼一场葬礼》中崭露头角以来，约翰·汉纳（John Hannah）就从未停止过工作。他参演了 70 部以上的电影和 40 部以上的电视剧，然而这位多产的表演者将他的长青归功于运气，而非天赋。“我认为自己非常幸运，”这位 64 岁的演员说道。“我不认为自己特别有才华或幽默，但我认为我有一种天赋，能遇到那些在我成长之路上给予帮助的才华横溢且优秀的人。对我来说，这就是最好的礼物。”他可能过于谦虚了。从《滑动之门》到《木乃伊》（他在片中饰演瑞秋·薇兹的喜剧色彩的哥哥），再到他在 BBC 同名剧集中饰演的忧郁且充满困扰的爱丁堡侦探里巴斯（Rebus），汉纳始终能给观众带来精彩的演出——他肯定也会在他最新的电视侦探剧《贝尼多姆是谋杀案》（Benidorm Is Murder）中再次如此，详情见后文。这位出生于苏格兰的演员温和的嗓音即使在不上屏时也非常悦耳，因此自 2019 年起，他为 BBC 旅游竞赛节目《环球大竞赛》（Race Across The World）的六季节目担任旁白。该节目由两人一组的队伍在不乘坐飞机的条件下，以最快速度穿越世界的一段区域，这进一步坚定了他对人性善良的信念，尽管阴郁的新闻周期经常描绘出截然不同的 bleak 景象。“我相信人们的善良，”他说。“目前的世界上发生了很多可怕的事情，不是吗？但我天生相信人类，我认为《环球大竞赛》是一个非常棒的例子，在世界上那些我们认为人们一无所有的地区，你却能看到他们多么慷慨，以及在帮助他人时多么开放。”汉纳还将他对人性的信心归功于他在格拉斯哥南部的东基尔布莱德（East Kilbride）的成长经历，那是该国第一个新城，在汉纳于 60 年代到来时，人口约为 70,000 人。“邻居们经常在彼此的家中出入，”他回忆道，“我以前管隔壁的邻居叫艾伦阿姨和弗兰克叔叔，尽管我们没有血缘关系。” 后来还有一次全家去黑pool一个露营地的旅行。汉纳的父亲也是一名叫约翰的工具制造师，他的母亲苏珊（在马莎百货担任清洁工）以及他的两个姐姐都挤在车里。“在路上的某个地方，在湖区，我父亲的车引擎爆了，我们不得不驶入一家修理厂，那里的人说更换新引擎零件需要一周时间，”汉纳在回忆这段往事时微笑着说道。“他们允许我们将帐篷搭在修理厂旁边，那里有厕所和淋浴房，他们也允许我们使用。基本上我们在湖区免费度过了一周，那太棒了，住在那个有一个独立铺床区域的大帐篷里。”当我们见面时，汉纳正与他结婚 30 年的妻子——女演员乔安娜·罗斯（Joanna Roth）住在蒙特卡洛的一家豪华酒店里。他们是在共同出演莎士比亚剧作《量罪量诛》时相识的，两人育有两个孩子，是 22 岁的非同卵双胞胎加布里埃尔和 Astrid。他来到法国里维埃拉是为了……

演艺行业的变幻无常让我感到愤怒
以及那个本应令他欣喜但实际上却并非如此的主角
2026年蒙特卡洛电视节，他以贵宾身份出席。与《环球竞速》（Race Across The World）的参赛者不同，他没有预算压力，也不需要担心当晚睡在哪里。但汉纳认为，在为即将播出的剧集担任旁白之前，他会是该旅游节目名人版的合格参与者。
“实际上，我觉得我会很擅长。作为一个男人，我不需要地图，也不需要阅读手册。事实上，我女儿在和我出去时有一个专门的词来形容这种情况，叫 DUD —— 爸爸的无意绕路（Dad’s Unintentional Detour）。”
“我经常迷路，但我喜欢迷路，因为在寻找回出路的过程中存在着一种挑战。”
他曾是一位热衷于跑步的人，直到膝盖受伤导致无法继续，他说：“在过去的20年里，膝盖手术后我进行了大量的骑行，无论去哪里工作，我都会带上自行车。”
“这让我有事可做，也能让我远离麻烦，而且我一直都在迷路。我走到转角处，向左或向右转，最后总能以某种方式找到回来的路。”
“就某种意义而言，这就像是对生活的隐喻，即相信一切最终都会好起来。”
而现在的生活很美好。在他的新侦探剧《贝尼多姆谋杀案》（Benidorm Is Murder）中，他饰演一名名为丹尼斯·戈万（Dennis Govan）的精疲力竭的前警察，目前在西班牙度假胜地经营一家苏格兰酒吧。丹尼斯悲惨地“坐在酒吧的边缘，不确定自己在做什么”，直到心怀抱负的女演员兼英国犯罪剧痴迷者罗莎（Rosa，由卡罗琳娜·贝克尔饰演）闯入他的生活，并最终成为他共同破案的搭档。
“剧本写得非常精彩，里面的每个角色都有其目的和目标，”汉纳在谈到吸引他的原因时说道。
“这是一个很难把握的平衡点 —— 既要塑造出让人信服的真实人物和戏剧冲突，又要找到幽默感，而不能将其变成闹剧或粗线条的喜剧。”
汉纳原本以为这个西班牙度假胜地会更嘈杂。他住在远离喧嚣的村庄里，周末则在海岸线上下骑行。
“而且我晚上不出门，”他承认道。“但只要你在有人群和饮酒的环境中拍摄，每个人总想大喊大叫地参与进来。”
“我们在海滨直接拍摄，我对人们表现出的尊重程度感到惊讶。”
汉纳第一次出国度假是在19岁时，当时他辞掉了电工学徒的工作，在欧洲开始了背包旅行。
在业余时间，他曾加入一个剧团俱乐部，并对此非常享受。
在结束了为期两周的欧洲之旅归来后，他进入了皇家苏格兰音乐与戏剧学院学习。在那里，他“变得有点自命不凡，总是坐在那里，不愿与那些轻佻的戏剧系学生打交道”。
在《四个婚礼一个葬礼》让他成名之前，他从事剧场演出和几个小型电视角色近十年之久。“在离开戏剧学校九年后，我算是在一夜之间获得了成功，”他面无表情地说道。
出人意料的是，这种成功让他感到恼火。几年前，他因为一次紧急的牙科预约而错过了一次国家剧院剧目的试镜。
“然后在《四个婚礼》上映后，我立刻收到了国家剧院的一个主角邀请。在那之前，无论花多少年，我绝不可能被考虑出演那个角色，这真的让我很愤怒。这让我对这个行业的反复无常感到很生气。”
不过，这并没有让他放弃演戏。
汉娜的履历非常丰富，大银幕作品包括《滑动之门》和《 the Mummy》（木乃伊）系列电影；小荧幕作品则有《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》及其续作《竞技场之神》，以及在《特工：神盾局》中担任 22 集的角色。“成为漫威宇宙的一员非常令人兴奋，”他在谈到后者时说道，“但通常我会尽量避免出演运行时间太长的剧集，因为如果我觉得无聊了，我想观众可能也觉得无聊了。”
这就是为什么他在仅拍摄一季后就离开了《雷波斯》（Rebus），这让许多人感到失望。
他承认，在出演大预算的《木乃伊》电影及其续集时，他曾有点自视过高。
“我来自比较严肃的剧场背景，当时觉得假装成僵尸之类的事情有点愚蠢，但后来我在美国看了一次试映，观众们都疯了。
“所以当拍续集的时候，我的心态变成了：‘只要你们想要，什么我都演！’”
该系列的第四部电影目前正在开发中。
“所有人都会回来，”在谈到合作演员布伦丹·弗雷泽和瑞秋·薇兹时他说道，“而且在回归之路上也会有一些惊喜，但我还不知道被允许透露多少，所以最好不要再说更多了。”
在短暂搬到牛津郡的奇尔特恩丘陵后，汉娜现在住在里士满。
“那真是一个错误，我们讨厌那里，”提到必须应对超速车辆以及被困在荒无人烟、无事可做的地方时，他笑了起来。
不过在在那里期间，他参加了由电影导演保罗·格林格拉斯举办的派对。“很多年前就见过面的马特·达蒙也在场，而且他记得我的名字。
“这给我留下了深刻的印象，因为我从来不记得任何人的名字。我走进试镜房间，见了三个人，一分钟之内我就忘了谁是谁。”
另一次，他在纽约的一家百货商店里发现了罗宾·威廉姆斯。话题不知怎么就转到了汉娜的膝盖伤势上。
“就像是我突然触发了他的开关一样。
“结果他开始对我膝盖的情况滔滔不绝，持续了大约半小时。我根本没法脱身。”
显然，汉娜还有很多故事要讲，但时间到了。我告诉他应该写本书。
他笑了，最后依然谦虚地补充道：“我应该写，不是吗？只要我会写就好了！”

英雄恐在雪崩中 丧生
作者：MATT NIXSON
一名著名的英国登山家和前廓尔喀士兵在世界最高峰之一遭遇毁灭性雪崩后，被担心已经丧生。尼尔马尔·普贾（Nirmal Purja）出生于尼泊尔，曾在英国陆军和皇家海军陆战队服役。周四雪崩发生时，他正率领一支 10 人的考察队在巴基斯坦北部行动。政府官员表示，昨日在布로드峰（Broad Peak）——世界第 12 高峰——发现了四具尸体。救援人员仍在继续搜寻其余人员。死者身份尚未公布。巴基斯坦高山俱乐部表示，自雪崩以来与所有登山者均失去联系。救援行动昨晚已利用军队直升机展开，但恶劣的天气阻碍了任务进程。
43 岁的尼尔马尔（昵称 Nims）出身于廓尔喀家庭，他在 2019 年声名鹊起，当时他在 189 天内登顶了全球所有 14 座海拔 26,247 英尺以上的山峰——打破了此前近八年的记录。
尼尔马尔在雪崩后失踪
这位来自汉普郡东莱（Eastleigh, Hants）的寒冷天气作战专家，是首位在服役期间攀登珠峰的廓尔喀士兵。他挑战 14 座高峰是为了突出尼泊尔谢尔巴人的贡献，并提高人们对气候变化和全球变暖的意识。他曾表示：“作为一名尼泊尔人，我希望我的攀登能让人们关注这里才华横溢的登山者。”尼尔马尔是失踪小组中五名尼泊尔登山者之一，其他登山者来自巴基斯坦、阿曼、美国和中国，以及一名来自未透露国家的外国国民。
第一海务大臣兼海军参谋长格温·詹金斯爵士（General Sir Gwyn Jenkins）在 X 上写道：“我的思念和祈祷与 Nims 及其队友同在。我相信我代表所有英国武装部队社区，希望他们能被找到并平安脱险。”
尼尔马尔出生于尼泊尔西部的一个村庄，青少年时期加入了精锐的廓尔喀旅。在一次采访中，他回忆道，在成长的过程中，即使是一双人字拖对他来说也是奢侈品。他在军队服役 16 年，其中 10 年在特种部队度过。因其在极高海拔登山方面的成就，他于 2018 年被女王授予 MBE 勋章。他 2019 年的挑战是 Netflix 纪录片《14 座高峰：没有什么是不可能的》的拍摄重点。

ITV 播出的一系列新节目《失散多年的家人》(Long Lost Family) 利用 DNA 技术和艰苦的侦查工作，让两名被遗弃者与他们失去联系或从未谋面的家人团聚。对于 65 岁的戴维·史蒂文森 (David Stevenson) 来说，与母亲的家人见面是一次极其动人的经历。他说：“能给我的母亲一个名字和一张照片，这种感觉非常深刻。这太神奇了。”该团队还找到了新生儿莎拉·格雷 (Sarah Gray) 的母亲，莎拉现年 43 岁，她于 1983 年 6 月被发现于莱斯特的一个电话亭内。
戴维被带回了西北伦敦的一栋公寓楼，他于 1960 年 12 月被发现于该楼的一条走廊里——当时他出生仅几天，身体冰冷，但喂养良好。他说：“毫无疑问，这个地方是我身份的一部分。这是我的故事开始的地方，所以回到这里令人心潮澎湃。”他当时被一名警察发现，但随后对居民的询问未能帮助确认戴维的生父母。
被史蒂文森一家收养后，他在附近的埃奇韦尔 (Edgware) 度过了快乐的童年。作为三个成年儿子的父亲，戴维说：“我知道自己是被遗弃的孩子，但我有爸爸妈妈，对我来说这不是问题。”他意识到寻找母亲对双方来说都可能很艰难。“警方的医生一致认为，我是一次无人看管的分娩结果，而这对于任何女性来说一定都是一次创伤性的经历。”
戴维和他的第二任妻子朱莉 (Julie) 在 2009 年发起了一次全国范围的信息征集，但证明没有结果。然而通过 DNA 搜索，戴维发现自己拥有荷兰和法国血统。这对 LLF 团队来说至关重要，他们发现与一个荷兰家庭有很强的联系，其中两人（包括一名叫玛丽安的女性）同意接受 DNA 检测。这使得 LLF 专家艾瑞尔·布鲁斯 (Ariel Bruce) 确认了戴维的生母佩特拉 (Petra)，她于 2010 年去世。节目主持人尼基·坎贝尔 (Nicky Campbell) 前往荷兰与玛丽安——戴维的姑姑以及他的堂兄妹萨斯基亚 (Saskia) 和巴特 (Bart) 见面。
家人中没有人知道佩特拉在巴黎担任保姆期间怀上了戴维，并且在伦敦放弃了一个孩子。家人对她 20 岁时独自承受分娩感到极其悲痛。佩特拉成长于一个严格的天主教家庭，那里不会容忍她怀孕的消息。法国的隐私法阻止了艾瑞尔和团队确认戴维的父亲。
戴维在得知佩特拉回到荷兰后没有再生孩子时深受触动。他说：“我觉得这相当令人悲伤，没有家庭，且放弃了她唯一的孩子。”LLF 主持人达维娜·麦考尔 (Davina McCall) 转交了一封来自鹿特丹佩特拉家人的信，他们参与了 DNA 检测。在这个荷兰港口城市，他与玛丽安、巴特、萨斯基亚以及另一位堂亲扬 (Jan) 进行了情感深湛的会面。他们向他讲述了关于佩特拉的事，包括她的性格和兴趣。戴维说：“最令人欣慰的事情之一……就是听他们谈论她。这帮我形成了对她性格的认识。我对未来感到非常兴奋。他们给予我的只有爱。”佩特拉的妹妹玛丽安说：“她会很爱你，而你也会爱她的。”
下周节目中的另一个搜索目标是莎拉的生母，莎拉在新生儿时期被一名准备使用电话亭的女性发现。作为一对三岁双胞胎的母亲，莎拉表示她的领养生活非常幸福，但她生命的起点从未被公开讨论。她说：“我认为某些事情有其特定的时间和场合，所以我没有强求。无论谁把我留在紧挨着公交车站和社区中心的公共电话亭里……他们就是希望我被发现。”团队找到了莎拉的母亲，但她希望任何会面都在镜头之外进行。
●《失散多年的家人：无迹之生》(Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace)，周一晚上 9 点，ITV 和 ITVX 播出。

在西班牙和葡萄牙 称霸
Albariño（发音为 “alba-reen-yo”）那清新纯净的口感和活泼的酸度，使其在近年来成为世界上最受欢迎的白葡萄酒葡萄品种之一。这种葡萄果实微小且皮厚，这意味着它们能在潮湿的气候中生长而不会被霉菌或腐烂所侵害。Albariño 原产于伊比利亚半岛，是西班牙西北部加利西亚地区 Rías Baixas 的明星葡萄。这里的海洋性气候，伴随着全年的海雾和温和的温度，创造了理想的生长条件。
在葡萄牙——当地称其为 alvarinho ——它是 Vinho Verde 地区最重要的葡萄，该地区气候凉爽潮湿，以出产轻盈、清爽的葡萄酒而闻名。在大多数葡萄园中，葡萄藤采取顶部架式（而非行植），并用金属丝固定在花岗岩支柱上，以保持葡萄干燥且免于腐烂。
在西班牙和葡萄牙之外，Albariño 在加利福尼亚州、澳大利亚、新西兰和乌拉圭也取得了成功。典型的葡萄酒具有桃子和柠檬草的香气，以及柠檬、青柠、葡萄柚和成熟核果的明亮清新风味，带有清口酸度和一丝矿物感。有些还带有淡淡的咸味。Albariño 的柑橘酸度意味着它能与任何海鲜完美搭配。它同样适合搭配猪肉或小牛肉等较轻的肉类。
今天是世界 Albariño 日——正是尝试一两杯的绝佳机会。
六款让你进入柑橘天堂的佳酿
1 Left Field Albariño 2024 (£13.50, 12.5%) 这款绝佳的新西兰 albariño 口感爽脆且香气浓郁， 带有激起的酸度以及 柑橘、桃子、甜瓜和 热带水果的基调， 在清爽、干型的余韵中 包裹着咸味。 可在 Tesco 购买。
2 Pazos de Lusco Albariño 2025 (£17.50, 12.5%) 这款不容错过。 酒液呈淡稻草色， 具有绝佳的半干型余韵。 轻盈明亮，含有丰富的 桃子、梨、柑橘和 淡淡的矿物感。 可在 Ocado, Master of Malt, Cheers Wine Merchants, Cambridge Wine Merchants, Amp Wine Merchants, Songbird Wines 和 Oxford Wine Company 购买。
3 El Camaron Albariño 2025 (£16.99, 12.5%) 极干、明亮且爽脆， 又是一款不容错过的 来自西班牙西北部 加利西亚的西班牙 albariño。 主打柑橘和青柠， 以及带有微咸风味和 悠长余韵的核果。 美味。可在 Cheers, Hennings, Cork & Cask 和 Crushed & Cured 购买。

纵火焚烧 家中住所
作者：CHRIS RICHES 一名男子因错误认为自己被剥夺了继承权而炸毁童年故居，现已被判入狱。 达伦·戴维斯（Darren Davies），55 岁，在父母于 2024 年去世后，与弟弟克雷格（Craig）共同住在这一栋四居室平房中。 但法庭获悉，他产生了一个“荒诞的想法”，认为自己是某个旨在剥夺其遗产阴谋的受害者。 他在位于兰开夏郡汉布尔顿村（Hambleton, Lancs）价值 £260,000 的独立房产中放置了三个气瓶，随后在周围浇洒汽油并点燃了一根蜡烛。 由此引发的爆炸导致房屋仅剩 1 面墙屹立不倒。 克雷格当时正在工作，但戴维斯在屋内，令人惊讶的是，他仅受轻伤便幸存了下来。 他告诉医护人员和消防员，他的意图是自杀并“把房子一起带走”。一名在房子附近驾驶的目击者表示，戴维斯告诉他：“我的家人想要这栋房子——如果我不能拥有它，就谁也别想拥有。” 戴维斯承认犯有纵火罪，在普雷斯顿刑事法院被判处四年零四个月监禁。
在受害者陈述中，他的弟弟克雷格告诉法庭，他们的父母立了遗嘱，将平房平分给两兄弟。 他说，他曾告诉戴维斯他想出售房产并“分道扬镳”，但这不会立即发生。克雷格说：“达伦产生了那个荒诞的想法，认为我父亲在去世前最后几个月签署了一份秘密遗嘱，将房子单独留给了我。他不断指责我参与了针对他的阴谋。” 戴维斯曾在音乐产业工作，随乐队巡演，据称他长期患有包括双相情感障碍在内的心理健康问题。他给法官写了一封信，向他的兄弟、家人和邻居道歉。 菲利普·帕里（Philip Parry）法官考虑到他早期的认罪态度，以及他的责任因其“心理障碍而大幅减轻”。
戴维斯被判处四年刑期。

两只由 40,000 年前的猛犸象牙雕刻而成的小鸟在洞穴中被发现。 这些拇指大小的小雕像是在德国南部著名的 Hohle Fels 洞穴中挖掘出来的，那里曾发现过世界上最早的一些史前艺术实例。 尽管体积微小，但这些雕刻包含了复杂的细节，甚至可以揭示所描绘鸟类的物种和行为。 这一非凡的发现让人得以一窥我们冰河时代祖先的艺术天赋。 图宾根大学的考古学家尼古拉斯·科纳德（Nicholas Conard）教授表示：“这些小雕像证明了最早的艺术家是熟练的象牙雕刻师，能够以微缩形式描绘精致的图案。” 这两件雕塑是去年在同一地层中发现的，相距仅 5 英尺，年代可追溯到大约 40,000 年前。 其中一只似乎是一只落在地上的鸟，可能正在孵蛋；而另一只则展开双翼，仿佛在飞行或进行求偶表演。 研究人员认为它们可能代表雷鸟——一种与松鸡和鸡类相关的猎鸟，此前在该洞穴中也发现过此类鸟类的骨骼。 第二只也可能描绘的是一只猛禽。 Hohle Fels 在奥里尼亚克文化（Aurignacian）时期被早期智人占据，当时人类在艺术、珠宝和音乐方面产生了广泛的爆发式发展。 此前的发现包括古代乐器和 41,000 年前的 Hohle Fels 维纳斯像，后者被认为是欧洲最古老的具象雕塑。 这些小鸟的用途仍然是个谜。 研究人员认为它们可能是个人护身符，或者是用于识别特定群体的符号。
雕像的象牙来自猛犸象牙
揭开 古代 遗骸
由于连续的热浪导致水位降至历史最低点，多瑙河岸边暴露出一具古代猛犸象的遗骸。 一名居民在保加利亚北部 Ryahovo 村附近的河床中发现了这些骨骼，随后通知了附近鲁塞地区历史博物馆的专家。 专家们鉴定出了一块下颌骨、象牙碎片、部分肩胛骨和一块股骨。 团队将返回回收这些遗骸以进行进一步检查，希望能揭开更多关于该动物的信息，包括其死亡的时间和原因，以及它属于哪种猛犸象。 博物馆馆长尼古拉·内诺夫（Nikolay Nenov）表示：“我不会称之为轰动，但任何此类古代遗骸的发现对科学来说都非常重要。” 他认为骨骼发现的区域曾是一片沼泽，这头动物可能在数千年前死在那里，随后其遗骸被保存在沉积物之下。 猛犸象在大约 500 万年前开始在地球上漫游，大多数在约 10,000 年前灭绝，不过部分孤立种群一直生存到大约 4,000 年前。 多瑙河流经 10 个国家，从德国的黑森林延伸至黑海。自 5 月以来，由于长期的干旱天气和热浪，部分河段的水位已降至历史低点。

谁在 开玩笑
作为喜剧三重组 The Goodies 的成员而闻名，比尔·奥迪 (Bill Oddie) 不仅是英国最受欢迎的喜剧演员之一，也是我们最心爱的观鸟者。观鸟是他终生的热情所在，因此从喜剧表演转向主持自然节目（包括 BBC 的《春季观察》(Springwatch)）是很自然而然的事情。
但他的生活一直被反复发作的急性抑郁症所困扰，导致他多次住进精神病院，奥迪因此遭受了严重的锂中毒。
他出生于兰开夏郡的罗奇代尔 (Rochdale)，双方祖先都是工厂工人，但他的父亲哈里 (Harry) 接受了会计培训，在他获得英格兰中部电力委员会的工作后，他们搬到了伯明翰。
虽然比尔后来承认他钦佩父亲的职业操守，但在童年时期他很少见到母亲莉莉安 (Lillian)。她被诊断出患有精神分裂症，在医院度过了大量时间。奥迪后来发现，她的抑郁症是在两个年长兄姐早逝之后产生的。
他从小就是一个热衷的观鸟者，他最早的一次观察记录被保存在一个
西中地鸟类俱乐部 (West Midlands Bird Club) 1956年的出版物。 在离开伯明翰的学校后（在那里他热爱打橄榄球），他在剑桥大学彭布罗克学院学习英语。在那里，在著名的足灯剧团 (Footlights club) 中，他遇到了《古德伍德》(Goodies) 的队友格雷姆·加登 (Graeme Garden) 和蒂姆·布鲁克-泰勒 (Tim Brooke-Taylor)。 他们在 20 世纪 70 年代凭借他们的“三乘单车” (trandem) 迅速成名——骑车四处走并提供出租服务。 在这些闹剧式且通常是快动作的镜头中，包含了一些由奥迪创作的喜剧歌曲，其中最成功的是《放克长臂猿》(Funky Gibbon)，该曲在英国排行榜上达到了第四名，三人组还在《流行之巅》(Top Of The Pops) 节目中表演了此曲。 秉承奥迪一贯的风格，这首歌在 40 年后重新发行，所得利润捐赠给了一个保护灵长类动物栖息地的活动。 奥迪童年对野生动物的热情演变成了他的第二职业，成为一名自然主义者、环保主义者以及野生动物议题的电视节目主持人。他的一些书籍配有他自己的绘画和素描。 他为 BBC 拍摄的野生动物节目包括《春季观察》(Springwatch) 和《秋季观察》(Autumnwatch)、《如何观察野生动物》(How To Watch Wildlife)、《花园里的野生动物》(Wild In Your Garden)、《与比尔·奥迪一起观鸟》(Birding With Bill Oddie)、《英国与比尔·奥迪共野》(Britain Goes Wild With Bill Oddie) 以及《比尔·奥迪野行》(Bill Oddie Goes Wild)。 在不主持野生动物节目时，奥迪在一系列问答节目中出现，并在《神秘博士》(Doctor Who) 的一集中饰演角色，并且凭借配音演员的身份获得了丰厚的副业收入，显然继承了其父亲令人钦佩的职业操守。 奥迪于 1967 年与音乐家简·哈特 (Jean Hart) 结婚，两人育有两个女儿：演员凯特·哈迪 (Kate Hardie) 和邦妮 (Bonnie)。这对夫妇后来离婚，1983, 他与儿童作家劳拉·博蒙特 (Laura Beaumont) 结婚，他们有一个女儿罗西 (Rosie)，上述人员均在世。

他梦想成为一名职业足球运动员，但童年时期患上的马蹄内翻症需要进行五次手术，使这个梦想化为泡影。 相反，肯·贝茨成为了英国足球现代史上最色彩鲜明且最具争议的俱乐部所有者之一。 他最被铭记的是对切尔西足球俱乐部 (Chelsea FC) 的所有权，他于 1982 年以 £1 的价格买下该俱乐部，随后在 2003 年通过一项 1.4 亿英镑 (£140 million) 的交易将其出售给罗马·阿布拉莫维奇 (Roman Abramovich)。 贝茨接手了这家陷入困境的巨头并扭转了局面——消除债务和流氓足球行为——并重新将切尔西建立为一家顶级俱乐部，在英超联赛中连续七次进入前六名，并赢得了数座主要奖杯。 他获得了斯坦福桥球场 (Stamford Bridge) 的永久产权，并将其重建为一座容纳超过 42,000 人的全座席体育场。贝茨曾名声大噪地在球场周围安装了电子围栏以防止球迷入侵，但在当地议会拒绝允许他通电后，他拆除了该围栏。

西奥·巴雷尔 (Theo Burrell) 古董专家 出生于 1986年 9月 1日 - 逝世于 2026年 7月 8日，享年 39 岁
西奥·巴雷尔是一位深受大众喜爱的陶瓷与玻璃专家，她的生命因脑肿瘤而戛然而止。 在去世前，巴雷尔为脑癌研究筹集了数万英镑，并在 2022 年确诊后成为该事业的倡导者。 巴雷尔出生于爱丁堡，于 2018 年加入 BBC 的《古董路演》(Antiques Roadshow) 节目。 这位电视明星被诊断出患有胶质母细胞瘤（一种侵袭性脑癌），并成为了“脑肿瘤研究”(Brain Tumour Research) 的赞助人。巴雷尔 Instagram 上的一份声明称，她在家人的陪伴下平静离世。 声明写道：“她是一个令人难以置信的人，为了家人、朋友以及提高人们对这种残酷疾病的认识而奋斗。” 她留下了丈夫亚历克斯 (Alex)——两人于四月结婚——以及他们五岁的儿子乔纳 (Jonah)。
16 岁时，他被告知他认为是父母的那对夫妇实际上是他的祖父母，他的母亲在他婴儿时期就去世了，而父亲则离开了。直到成年，他才与被另一对夫妇照顾的姐姐团聚。
18 岁时，这位前文法学校学生接受了会计培训，决心摆脱童年的贫困。到 23 岁时，他买下了自己的第一辆宾特利。
到 30 岁出头时，Bates 已足够富有可以退休，他的财富源于一家预拌混凝土公司，该公司在四年后以超过 50 万的价格出售。
他在 20 世纪 60 年代担任奥尔汉姆竞技队主席，开启了自己的足球事业，并在 20 世纪 80 年代初成为维冈竞技队的拥有者兼副主席，随后购买了切尔西队。在出售“蓝军”后，Bates 于 2005 年买下了利兹联，并于 2012 年离开该俱乐部。
他晚年居住在摩纳哥，遗属包括第三任妻子 Suzannah，以及第一段婚姻所生的三个女儿和两个儿子。
每日快报读者来信页撰稿人 出生于 FEBRUARY 16, 1941 逝世于 JULY 9, 2026, 享年 85 岁
Brian Banks 是 每日快报 读者来信页的常客，也是其中最富有激情的撰稿人之一，现已于 85 岁去世。
Brian 出生于默西赛德郡的 Maghull，父母是 Dorothy 和 Eric。他是一个从不回避难题的人。正是这种特质让他当年被赶出了主日学校，但后来使他成为了我们来信页上一个令人敬畏的存在。
Brian 的人生旅程与其直率的观点一样充满活力。在早期担任建筑师学徒并参与标志性的利物浦大教堂建设后，他通过加入商船队来寻求更广阔的视野。
Brian 的冒险足迹遍布全球，但他的心始终坚定地留在默西赛德郡，
当地传奇 Banks
尤其是对他深爱的利物浦足球俱乐部，他从 10 岁起就对其忠心耿耿。
1978 年，他与挚爱的妻子 Pamela 结婚。他们 48 年的婚姻生活定义为爱与 Brian 标志性的幽默感。
作为 Daniel 和 Nicola 骄傲的父亲，Brian 在退休后从事园艺、玩草地滚球和旅行。
然而，正是他通过电子邮件发送的“个人见解”使他成为了一个当地传奇。
作为 每日快报 中一个频繁且具有争议的声音，Brian 曾两次获得令人向往的“今日之信”——这些时刻是他自豪地珍惜的回忆。
Brian Banks 是一个真正的原创者：一个旅行者，一名水手，以及一名自豪的 每日快报 读者，且总是拥有最终发言权。
遗属包括他的妻子、两个孩子和弟弟 David。
谢谢你，Brian，感谢你所有精彩的来信。

109 岁且依然保持良好的 字母顺序
正如任何一位首相将确认的那样，降低生活成本是一项棘手的工作，但我刚刚发现了一种每年可节省超过 £52billion 的方法。 实际上，受益的与其说是普遍的生活成本，不如说是说话的具体成本，而且实施这一方案几乎不需要任何费用。 这个想法是将字母 W 重新命名，从此它将被简单地称为 “wub”。 很久以前，我在本专栏中评论过，当所有其他字母都只有一个音节时，那个字母竟然有一个三音节的名字，这是多么傲慢。但在千禧年之交，我的担忧仅限于在所有网页地址开头说 “double-u, double-u, double-u” 时浪费的时间。 负责我们网页浏览器的开发人员尽责地对其进行了修改，在这些地址的开头自动插入 “www”，从而化解了这场灾难。 然而，现在我意识到了 W-浪费的真实量级，以及通过用 “wub” 代替 “double-u” 所能实现的巨额节省。 以下数据已由字母责任办公室 (Office for Alphabetic Responsibility) 确认。 平均而言，W（从此称为 wubs）在我们的语言中任何长文本中约占字母总数的 2.4%。 一名英语使用者每天说出的单词数量

大约是 13,000，平均每个词四个字母。 那么总共是 52,000 个字母，其中因此有 1,248 个是 W。 任何有文化的人在说话时，都无法在潜意识中不拼写出单词，而对自己说一次“double-u”是需要时间的。 因此，将其中 1,248 个替换为 wubs 将节省 2,496 个音节。 在这个国家，至少有 65 million 说英语的人（不包括不会说话的婴儿和外国国民），因此他们的 wubs 每天总共可节省超过 162 billion 个音节（即 65 million 乘以 2,496）。 我们的平均说话速度为每秒四个音节，因此这 162 billion 个音节节省了 40.5 billion 秒，相当于每天 11.25 million 小时。 按照成人最低工资每小时 £12.71 的费率计算，这种浪费的 W-时间每天的价值高达 £143million，一年则达到 £52.2billion，这对政府财政将大有裨益。 我强烈向新任首相推荐此方案。 二十五年前，美国总统乔治·W·布什通过将自己的中间名首字母改为“dubya”，为他的国家节省了一个音节。 通过我的“反 Wub 浪费战争”，我们可以做得更好，我——

你能破解 Alphabeater 吗？这是我们广受欢迎的 Alphapuzzle 的一个高难度变体，旨在将你的脑力推向极限。下方的每个格点数字代表一个字母或一个黑色方格。与 Alphapuzzle 一样，字母表中的每个字母都会被用到。但现在你还需要完成填格！请使用主格下方给出的字母和黑色方格开始。
为了增加挑战的乐趣，Alphabeater 具有“旋转对称性”。换句话说，如果你将页面倒过来，格点是一样的。例如，如果左上角开始有一个六个字母的横向词，那么右下角方格将有一个对应的六个字母横向词。每个黑色方格都有一个对称的“双胞胎”，但“双胞胎”并不总是共享相同的数字。这可以帮助识别其他黑色方格。当然，如果中心方格是黑色的，它就没有对应的“双胞胎”。答案将于下周六公布。

PAIGE FRESHWATER 挑战 007 之路以探寻原因
在这个每个人都在追求下一个巨大刺激的忙碌世界里，有时最好的假期是那些强迫你慢下来并欣赏简单事物的旅程。 这正是我在加尔达湖西岸的特雷莫西内（Tremosine sul Garda）所发现的，这里被誉为意大利最美丽的村庄。 这是一个由 18 个小村落组成的散布村庄，坐落在湖泊的高处。这个悬崖目的地因其中世纪的小巷、壮丽的 Strada della Forra 山路（被温斯顿·丘吉尔描述为“世界第八大奇迹”）以及一个向外延伸、下方有 350m 垂直落差的悬空玻璃平台而深受喜爱。 它的历史可以追溯到 1185，仅有 2,000 名幸运居民居住于此。 我首先注意到的是日常生活的悠闲节奏。 当地人似乎都互相认识，在街上停下来悠闲地聊天。 许多人聚集在两个主广场——阿图罗·科扎利奥广场（Piazza Arturo Cozzaglio）和马可尼广场（Piazza Marconi），两者都位于皮耶夫（Pieve）主村落，那里的咖啡馆延伸至鹅卵石街道上。 这里毫无疑问地美丽。 但最让我惊讶的不是风景，而是这里的安静。 当我漫步在狭窄的巷弄中时，经常发现自己完全地独处。 尽管它是意大利最美丽的村庄之一，但周围只有少数几个游客，让我感觉仿佛偶然发现了一个加尔达湖的秘密角落。 由于皮耶夫本身只有约 200 人居住，这种宁静的氛围让你可以在无需与人群搏斗或等待完美拍照时机的情况下，尽情沉浸在周围环境中。 特雷莫西内每年接待约 350,000 名过夜游客——与每年访问整个加尔达湖地区的估计 27 million 游客相比，这是一个令人惊讶的小数字。 抵达这里的过程本身就是冒险的一部分。 要开车到达村庄，你需要挑战著名的 Strada della Forra，这是一条刻在悬崖上的狭窄山路，充满了发夹弯、隧道和令人心惊肉跳的落差。 它全长五英里，往好里说，挑战性极大。 它甚至出现在 2008 年詹姆斯·邦德电影《量子之索》（Quantum of Solace）开头那场阿斯顿·马丁追逐戏中。 对于紧张的驾驶者来说，这可能是一次令人生畏的经历。在好几个地方，道路宽度仅够一辆车通行，这意味着每当你遇到对向车辆时，经常必须倒车进入微小的避让区域。 我很庆幸地发现还有另一种选择。 Arriva Brescia 巴士在附近的利莫内（Limone sul Garda）与特雷莫西内之间运行，让游客能够欣赏这段壮观的路线，而无需承受亲自驾驶的压力。 除了风景，抵达后还有很多值得享受的地方。 我在 Sole La Fenice 餐厅品尝了传统意大利菜，而 Miralago 餐厅则提供加尔达湖的全景视角，在日落时分尤为壮观。 另一个亮点是入住装饰精美的 Locanda al Castelletto。 这家酒店充满了特色，其餐厅提供的食物与环境一样令人难忘。 如果想尝试更多梦幻的意大利美食，你应该花时间去 Agriturismo Alpe del Garda，这是一个经营中的农场，游客可以观看当地奶酪的制作过程，品尝产品并购买一些带回家。 对于喜欢徒步的人来说，有一条陡峭的小径经过数世纪之久的祭坛，通往蒙特卡斯特洛（Montecastello）圣地——这是加尔达地区最著名、最神圣的地方之一，位于湖泊高处的一个岩脊上。 如果你的腿部体力足够，这次攀爬是非常值得的。 在特雷莫西内度过一段时间后，最让我铭心刻骨的是那份宁静。 这是一个提醒你并非每个假期都必须以 100 英里时速前行的地方——慢下来有一种真正的美。尤其是在 Strada della Forra 路上时。
交通方式 维罗纳是距离加尔达湖最近的机场。瑞安航空 (Ryanair)、易捷航空 (easyJet)、Jet2 和英国航空 (British Airways) 均提供从英国出发的直飞航班，飞行时间约为两小时。
预订详情 Boutique Hotel Bogliaco 酒店 (hotelbogliaco.com) 的标准间房价每晚 £144 起。Locanda al Castelletto 酒店 (smallcastlepieve.it) 的标准双人间房价每晚 £142 起。

这座拥有绝美海滩的欧洲岛屿是今年夏季最热门的地点之一。波尔托圣多（Porto Santo）是马德拉群岛中一个更为安静、沙滩更广的兄弟岛。它的主要吸引力正是马德拉主岛和加那利群岛无法提供的东西——一份宁静与平和。
马德拉每年接待 2.2 million 名游客，而特内里费岛的这一数字则上升到 700 万，相比之下，只有约 50,000 人前往波尔托圣多。这座拥有 5,000 居民的岛屿需要从大岛的首府丰沙尔乘坐两个半小时的轮渡才能到达。
海浪可能会有些颠簸，但这次旅程绝对值得。波尔托圣多的核心亮点是其一条近乎完整、长达 5.5 英里的金沙滩，几乎贯穿了该岛南海岸的全长。
这一点至关重要，因为马德拉主岛几乎没有沙滩——那里大多是火山鹅卵石或岩石。因此，对于想要在群岛中体验经典海滩度假的人来说，波尔托圣多是首选之地。
这里的海滩沙以其所谓的治疗功效而闻名，特别是针对关节和皮肤疾病。人们专门前往这里将自己埋在沙中，或接受泥沙治疗。无论其是否真的有效，像小海龟一样把自己挖进地里，似乎是度过一个下午的不错方式。
在你“治愈”好之后，大概需要快速潜入水中洗掉残余的沙子。该岛水质清澈、平静且呈青绿色，非常适合游泳，这与马德拉主岛大部分多岩石的海岸线截然不同，同时也非常适合风帆冲浪、风筝冲浪和潜水等水上运动。
尽管以沙滩著称，岛上仍有火山丘陵和山峰，如 Pico do Facho 和 Pico do Castelo，提供可俯瞰全岛及大海景色的短途徒步路线。这里还拥有足够的平坦土地，容纳了一座由塞韦·巴列斯特罗斯（Seve Ballesteros）设计的备受推崇的高尔夫球场。
在著名的当地人方面，波尔托圣多最知名的后代是克里斯托弗·哥伦布，他在前往美洲航行之前曾居住于此。您可以在主镇维拉巴莱拉（Vila Baleira）参观克里斯托弗·哥伦布故居博物馆。
从马德拉出发，仅需短途飞行或乘坐前述轮渡即可到达，许多人将波尔托圣多作为海滩一日游的附加行程，而非独立的目的地。
这座岛提供了金色的沙滩、可靠的温暖以及一种适合放松身心的慢节奏。随着旅行者在寻找更平静、更轻松的住宿体验而不再局限于欧洲经典的度假胜地，它在今年正变得越来越受欢迎。波尔托圣多被列入了 Expedia 的岛屿热门名单，在过去一年中，人们对其关注度激增 85%。

EXPEDIA 2026 岛屿热门名单 1. 圣卢西亚：浪漫逃逸之选 2. 马德拉，波尔托圣多：健康与放松之选 3. 塞舌尔，普拉斯林：自然爱好者之选 4. 希腊，西罗斯：美食与魅力之选 5. 挪威，罗弗腾群岛：北极冒险之选 6. 菲律宾，巴拉望：自然奇观之选 7. 波多黎各，库莱布拉：水上冒险之选 8. 佛罗里达，萨尼贝尔岛：家庭度假之选 9. 越南，富国岛：经济奢华之选 10. 斐济：多代同堂价值之选。
或是短期度假，朱莉·德拉海伊（JULIE DELAHAYE）表示，这座诺福克郡的小镇为游客提供了极具魅力的海滨享受。
一次经典的英国海滨假期就像是一顿周日烤肉——需要所有正确的配料。在这种情况下，我指的是炸鱼薯条店、游戏厅、有趣的码头、冰淇淋店、体面的酒吧，当然，还有一片美丽的海滩。 如果还有一个拥有某种运行了数十年之久的古怪游乐设施或景点的游乐园，那就更完美了。 因此，当我访问大雅茅（Great Yarmouth）时，考虑到它收到的评价褒贬不一，我并没有指望它能满足所有这些条件。这座诺福克郡的小镇有时也会受到不公正的差评。但当地人詹姆斯·科西（James Cossey）告诉我：“你绝不可能在这里过得不愉快，尤其是带着孩子的时候。我讨厌它被诋毁。” 在周末带着一个正处于“拒绝安静坐 30 秒”阶段的幼儿进行访问后，我不得不说我同意这个观点。 整个周末，我们从未缺乏好玩的活动。 主海滨大道两旁排列着各种游乐园、游戏厅和咖啡馆。 我的首选是前往 Joyland（joyland.org.uk），这是大雅茅著名的主题公园，自 1949 年起就对外开放。考虑到身高限制，这类公园对于幼儿来说可能有些随机（有些能玩，有些不能），但我们能够带孩子体验至少四个项目——包括传奇的“超级蜗牛”（Super Snails）。 这个项目包含一辆蜗牛形状的车辆在小轨道上行驶，我原以为它不会特别刺激。但当第一个……
在西班牙也毫不违和”
掉落发生时，我真的把把手握得更紧了一点！直到我在社交媒体上发布了这次骑行的照片，才充分意识到“蜗牛”的传承——随后我收到了大量来自朋友和同事的消息，他们兴高采烈地分享了关于蜗牛和大雅茅斯（Great Yarmouth）的快乐童年回忆。对我而言，这总结了这个小镇的魅力——它是一种整体的怀旧感，但又带有一点俏皮的一面。梅里韦尔模型村（Merrivale Model Village，merrivalemodelvillage.co.uk）就是一个完美的例子。我原以为最多花半小时来分散我蹒跚学步的孩子（toddler）的注意力，但由于有太多值得探索的东西，而且那些小火车在现场所有孩子中都大受欢迎，我们在那里停留了一个多小时。那是行程中的亮点之一。至于那古怪的一面，我们采纳了工作人员的建议，去“按下任何需要按的按钮”。结果如何？我们“窃听”到了模型之间正在进行的对话——这真是件乐事。不过在到达模型高尔夫度假村时提醒一下——那里有一些相当火辣的场景，绝对不符合健康家庭形象，但对成年人来说非常搞笑……当然，没有码头之行的海滨一日游是不完整的，不列颠尼亚码头（Britannia Pier, britannia-pier.co.uk）拥有我们想要的一切——一家供应优质啤酒的酒吧，一个有 2便士游戏的娱乐中心，以及几个供孩子玩的游乐设施和景点，尽管这些对我们家孩子来说有点太大了。在投入 £1.8million 投资后，不列颠尼亚码头实际上获得了 2026, 年的“年度码头”称号。坦白说，我去过一些更有活力、更热闹的码头，但这里依然提供了我们想要的一切，而且是一个非常惬意的地方，我们可以停下来，在阳光下喝杯饮料，欣赏海滨景色，同时让孩子尽情释放精力。
说到精力，我们决定在 Sara’s Tearooms 停下来补充能量。在看到分量的那一刻，我就知道我们做对了选择。这家海滨咖啡馆的菜单包括汉堡、炸鱼薯条和全英式早餐，这里的三明治馅料塞得满满当当，薯条在盘子里堆得高高的。食物美味极了，而且它能如此好地满足我的无麸质饮食需求，这让我印象深刻。这家家庭经营的咖啡馆——包括由 Sara 本人制作的自制蛋糕——氛围如此温暖亲切，而且地理位置恰好地处于所有游乐园之间，因此当你想要停下来充电时，这里绝对是一个绝佳的小避风港。共同所有者马特·史密斯（Matt Smith）在从父母手中接管这家海滨咖啡馆后负责经营，他非常乐意聊天并分享一些建议，包括敦促我在周三晚上的每周烟花秀期间回来（这将一直持续到 August 26）。至于海滩？我没想到会看到如此广阔的金黄色沙滩，放在西班牙或葡萄牙这样的地方也完全没有违和感。诚然，我是在一个 28C 的周末访问的，因此一切感觉起来更像西班牙而非诺福克郡（Norfolk），但我认为天气并不是让我如此印象深刻的唯一原因。那里有足够的空间铺一条毛巾，而且海滩

这里大部分是正在堆沙堡、在海中游泳，以及在休息时间前往海滨大道沿线众多冰淇淋店的家庭。我对这座城镇唯一的抱怨是公共厕所不多——因此，你要么得决定在咖啡馆买点东西以使用其设施，要么得稍微规划一下上厕所的时间，而带着个蹒跚学步的孩子，这并不特别容易。在镇上停车不是问题。诚然，我们是在度假旺季之外旅行的，但那是一个炎热晴朗的周末，所以我已经准备好要绕圈子转一会儿才能找到车位。镇周围有很多停车场，我们在靠近欢乐海滩（Pleasure Beach）主题公园附近找到了一个，一天的费用大约是 £11。我觉得那些批评格雷特雅茅斯（Great Yarmouth）的人可能带有一种傲慢心理。这座城镇并非试图与豪华度假胜地、高端酒店或米其林风格的餐厅竞争。是的，镇上确实有些地方需要重新粉刷，但我认为许多英国目的地也是如此。而且我喜欢它没有被修饰得太精致——它廉价、欢快，且具有典型的英国特色。
希腊悲剧
作者：AMY JONES
如果你想探索希腊世界著名的景点，有一些新的指南需要注意。根据 Saga Holidays 的说法，任何被发现违反这些规定的人可能会面临高达 £425 (€500) 的罚款。
Saga Holidays 的高级产品经理 Alison Porter 解释道：“在希腊，一个可能会让旅行者陷入困境的规定是关于鞋类的。高跟鞋或其他细尖底鞋在某些考古遗址可能不适用，因为它们可能会损坏脆弱的古代表面。舒适、实用的鞋类是最安全的选择。”
对于在希腊的游客来说，最受欢迎的消遣活动之一就是探索该国广泛分布的令人惊叹的历史遗迹、中世纪城镇和地标。其中最著名的一些包括雅典卫城、德尔斐考古遗址，以及位于伯罗奔尼撒半岛的联合国教科文组织世界遗产地古奥林匹亚和埃皮道罗斯。
根据 Saga 的数据，在克里斯托弗·诺兰的电影《奥德赛》上映后，人们的兴趣被进一步激发，导致过去一周的 Google 搜索量增加了 25%。
Alison 补充道：“联合国教科文组织的遗址各不相同，不同目的地的规定可能存在显著差异。”
“游客可能会因为破坏公物、进入未经授权的区域以及在禁区饮食而面临罚款——即使违规行为是无意的。这就是为什么遵守规定，并随一名能够解释目的地或古迹的历史、礼仪和规则的旅行经理或导游一同旅行至关重要。”

作为第一次为人父母者，去度假这件事曾让我感到极其忐忑——但在经历了为人父母最初几个月精疲力竭的生活后，我从未如此渴望一次假期。
我的妻子和我决定带着四个月大的双胞胎前往大加那利岛（Gran Canaria）Bahia Feliz 的 TUI Blue Orquidea 度假村。那是一次仅需 4.5 小时的短途飞行，采取全包制且对家庭友好。无论您认为我们是勇敢、鲁莽还是天真，我很高兴地告诉大家，我们不仅生存了下来，而且很享受！这里是我给同样是新手父母的几位同僚的五个建议……
充分准备很有帮助 我们做了研究——买了更大的行李箱，买了一辆可以放入飞机顶棚行李架的旅行婴儿车，并预订了一晚机场酒店，以减轻凌晨 5 点办理入住手续的压力。 准备好起飞和降落时都要用的奶瓶至关重要。 我们买了 Alpine Muffy 耳罩式耳机来保护宝宝的耳朵，以及 Jellycat 布书来吸引他们的注意力。 预订从机场到酒店（仅 20 分钟路程）的私人接送服务绝对物有所值。这意味着我们避开了漫长的办理入住排队队列，而且提前打电话告知，意味着当我们进入房间时，酒店已经布置好了旅行婴儿床。
不要担心婴儿哭闹 在度假前，我真正担心的一件事就是宝宝哭闹带来的尴尬。我很快发现事实是，大多数人都忙于担心自己的孩子，而不在意你的孩子在做什么。 看到这么多其他家庭也在尝试做我们正在做的事情，这种景象给我们带来了宽慰并激励着我们。即使我们的孩子在餐厅里哭闹，那里也太嘈杂，超过五米远的人根本听不到，而且没有一个人表现出困扰。 酒店的自助餐设置种类繁多，但重要的是，这意味着我们可以轮流取餐，而其中一人留在原处。
计划，计划，再计划 当你带着婴儿时，必须放慢行程进度。目标是每天只做一两件重要的事情。我们很快学到，在每次喂奶结束后立即准备好下一次喂奶的奶瓶——因为下一次很快就会到来。喂完奶后，你最多有三小时的间隔时间进行活动，直到他们变得烦躁，所以尽量提前计划或预订好内容。 在旅行之前，我们并没有真正意识到这个家庭友好型度假村对三岁以下儿童的设施多么完善。我们一周以来做得最棒的事情之一就是访问由 TUI 婴儿和幼儿俱乐部工作人员提供的婴儿水疗（baby spa）——这是一个感官主导的体验，两个宝宝都非常享受被呵护的感觉。 大多数日子的节奏简单而愉快：早餐、玩耍时间、午餐、午睡、游泳、晚餐和睡觉。然后重复。
不要害怕寻求帮助 带着婴儿旅行永远无法完全消除压力，我们离开房间时从未忘记携带额外的尿布和湿巾（在附近的 Spar 超市补货），以应对任何意外状况。但不知为何，一切都感觉在掌控之中。泳池边有一个带空调的婴儿休息室（Baby Lounge），简直是救星，我们经常使用
每天更换尿布或仅仅是享受安静时光。 Baby Club 需额外付费，但这意味着我们可以将婴儿交给经过培训的工作人员照顾几个小时，从而享受泳池或去水疗中心（很高兴地说，我不止一次地去了这两个地方）。
预订 TUI 提供前往西班牙大加那利岛的七晚假期，入住 4星级 TUI BLUE Orquidea 酒店，全包价每人 £900 起（基于两名成人和一名儿童共用双人房，8月从伦敦卢顿机场起飞，包含每人 23kg 行李及接送服务）。 tui.co.uk TUI Musement 提供“小威尼斯”之旅，您可以乘船前往 Mogán，成人每人 £45 起，儿童（3-12 岁）每人 £28 起，儿童（0-2 岁）免费。 tuimusement.com / uk
“小威尼斯”，您可以乘坐轮渡抵达。 对于是否带婴儿预订船游，我之前的想法是 50 / 50（犹豫不决），但把婴儿车换成背带一点也不困难。 我们的 Ergobaby Omni 婴儿背带采用了网眼设计，在我们徒步探索该村庄古色古香的街道和水道时，能够很好地应对高温。 Mogán 有一个美丽且沙质的海滩，在那里我们让孩子们第一次将脚趾浸入大海。在那一刻我意识到，这就是度假的意义；一个创造持久回忆的机会。而我也在那时开始思考我们下次可以去哪里。

黑莓果酱 准备：20 分钟 • 烹饪：40 分钟，另需浸泡过夜 • 约可制成 2.2 升（约 8 瓶果酱罐） • 可轻易减半制作 • 简便
利用夏季丰收的黑莓制作这款简便的果酱 —— 搭配新鲜白面包堪称完美。请使用果酱糖（含添加果胶），以确保果酱凝固。 • 1.8kg 黑莓 • 1 ½kg 果酱糖（含添加果胶的那种） • 1 个柠檬的汁液和籽 • 一小块黄油（可选） • 1
由 Good Food 食品总监 CASSIE BEST 为您呈现
溶解，这样在正式开始制作果酱时，您就无需担心水果被过度烹煮。次日早晨，快速搅拌均匀，再次放置一旁，直到您准备好开始烹饪。 2
在开始之前，将一个小碟子放入冷冻柜。准备一个保存锅或一个大底深锅（锅底越宽、口径越大，果酱凝固越快，因此保存锅最为理想），将黑莓倒入锅中，刮净所有果汁和任何未溶解的糖。搅拌入柠檬汁，然后将所有柠檬籽收集起来，放入茶叶滤网或一块细布中，再加入锅内（将籽与水果一同烹煮可以提取其中的果胶，有助于果酱凝固）。
你的 心灵
用小火加热黑莓，直到所有糖分完全溶解，然后煮沸并炖煮 5 分钟。关火，将少量热的糖浆果酱舀在冷却的浅盘上。冷却后，用手指轻推。如果产生皱褶，说明已经准备好并达到了凝固点。如果太稀而没有皱褶，将锅重新加热，分 2 或 3 分钟一个阶段地煮沸，每次在进行浅盘检查前将锅移离火源，直到果酱产生皱褶。 4
撇去多余的浮沫，然后根据需要拌入黄油——这有助于溶解任何剩余的浮沫。将果酱静置 15 分钟，然后再舀入消毒瓶中——这样可以让水果沉降，以免下沉。果酱在阴凉干燥处可保存至少六个月。开封后请冷藏。
黑莓、柠檬与马斯卡彭 可颂布丁 准备：15 分钟 • 烹饪：30 分钟 • 另需 1 小时浸泡 • 简单 这是一款对面包黄油布丁的夏季演绎，让黑莓成为主角 • 4 个全黄油可颂 • 100g 马斯卡彭奶酪 • 100g 黑莓或黑醋栗果酱 • 200g 黑莓 • 1 个柠檬，取皮屑 • 3 个大号鸡蛋 • 200ml 浓奶油，另需少量用于装饰 • 400ml 全脂牛奶 • 2茶匙香草提取液 • 3汤匙金黄色细砂糖 1 将可颂剖开，在每个底部抹上一层厚厚的马斯卡彭奶酪，然后抹上一层果酱，并将顶盖盖回。将填好料的可颂切成大块，放入烤盘中（约 18 x 25cm）。撒上黑莓，将部分黑莓塞在可颂下方。 2 制作卡仕达酱：将 1 个柠檬皮屑、鸡蛋、浓奶油（预留部分用于装饰）、全脂牛奶、香草提取液和 2汤匙糖倒入量杯中，搅拌均匀。将此液体倒入可颂上，浸泡至少 1 小时，或放入冰箱冷藏过夜。 3
里科塔奶酪、黑莓与松子 开放式三明治 (Tartine) 准备：5 分钟 • 烹饪：5 分钟 • 2 人份 • 简单 尝试这款烤制美食，作为一份与众不同的快捷午餐或早午餐。细腻的里科塔奶酪与酸甜的浆果非常契合 • 2汤匙枫糖浆 • 150g 包装黑莓 • 4 片你最喜欢的面包（我们使用了酸种面包） • 100g 软里科塔奶酪 • 1汤匙烤松子 • 几片薄荷叶 1 在平底锅中用中火加热枫糖浆。加入黑莓并烹饪 4-5 分钟，用木勺背面压碎部分水果使其软化并产生糖浆。烤制面包。食用时，在每片面包上抹上里科塔奶酪，舀上温热的水果及果汁，最后撒上松子和薄荷。

在八月，当夕阳西下时，花园并不一定会失去光彩。事实上，有些植物会将它们最好的特质留到一天之中的较晚时候。它们的香气会增强，浅色的花朵会散发出更强光芒，而飞蛾则开始造访富含花蜜的花朵。少量的傍晚种植可以将露台、小径或休息区变成一个引人注目的景观。
营造香气与氛围的 攀援植物 攀援植物在提供傍晚趣味方面表现卓越，因为它们在鼻尖高度提供香气。忍冬（Honeysuckle）是一个经典选择，尤其是种植在拱门、花架或开窗附近。许多品种在整个夏天开花，释放出在傍晚更加明显的甜美香气。 星星茉莉（Trachelospermum jasminoides）是另一个适用于温暖、避风墙面的绝佳选择。其白色的星形花朵在夏天香气浓郁，而光亮的常绿叶片则提供了结构感。

在较寒冷的花园中，请将其安置在朝南或朝西的墙边以获得保护。
黄昏时发光的花卉 浅色的花朵在傍晚花园中非常出色，因为它们在光线较低时依然显得明亮。白色波斯菊、浅色大丽花、密集花（phlox）和烟草（nicotiana）都能让边界在黄昏时显得更明亮。密集花在休息区附近尤为迷人，因为许多品种将仲夏的色彩与淡雅的香气结合在一起。烟草值得种植在小径或露台附近。其管状花朵在傍晚香气更浓，有助于吸引飞蛾和其他夜间飞行的传粉者。夜晚路边 the evening primrose（月见草）是另一个不错的选择，其花朵在一天中较晚时间开放，并在黑暗后提供花蜜。
营造近距离香气的 容器植物 如果空间有限，可以打造一个傍晚容器花园。夜香 stock、烟草、 天芥菜（heliotrope）、薰衣草、迷迭香和 scented pelargoniums（香天竺葵）都能在餐桌或门口附近带来香气。将花盆放置在您傍晚休息的地方，以便能最好地欣赏它们。容器植物在八月干涸较快，因此请确保定期浇水并去除枯花。每周一次的施肥也将帮助开花植物持续产花。将花盆稍微垫高在盆脚上，以便多余的水分可以排出。
动感与质感 傍晚的趣味不仅仅在于香气。观赏草可以让花园感觉

随着光线的变化，花园将充满活力。 Stipa 和 miscanthus 带来了动感、种荚和质感，尤其是种植在低角度阳光可以穿透的地方。 银色叶片在黄昏后也同样出彩。Stachys、artemisia 和 lavender 能反射柔和的傍晚光线，并有助于提升较暗区域的亮度。 如果您希望蛾类和其他夜行访客感到舒适，请保持室外照明温和。 通过几个精心布局的选择，即使在一天中最热的时段过去很久之后，花园依然能保持活力。

在当前如此干燥的天气中，为山茶花和杜鹃花充分浇水，尤其是种植在盆中或新种植的植株。它们现在正在孕育明年的花蕾，因此干旱可能会影响明年春季的景观。盆栽尽可能使用雨水，并在根部彻底浸透。
2 当室外单干番茄（cordon tomatoes）长出四个花序后，或当植株长到支撑物高度时，将其顶端摘心。去掉顶端花序上方两叶处的生长点，帮助植株在凉爽天气回归之前，将重心转向成熟已形成的果实。您可以在最近一期的 Step-by- 中查看我的番茄生长情况。
分步园艺 (Step Gardening)， 可在我的 YouTube 频道观看，@ daviddomoney。 3
本月您可以种植网球花 (nerine) 球根以增加秋季色彩。选择一个温暖、阳光充足且避风的位置，并确保土壤排水良好，理想情况下靠近墙壁。种植 Bowdenii 网球花时，让球根颈部略高于地表，球根之间保持紧凑但不要接触。浇水后，尽量避免不必要的移动。 4
如果新梢已成熟，请对经过夏季修剪训练的苹果树进行修剪，而不是对标准的独立生长树进行修剪。在 8 月，当新梢的下三分之一变为木质时，缩短长侧枝，使光线能照射到成熟的果实并促进结果短枝的生长。灌木状或标准苹果树的常规修剪请留到冬季。 5
当洋葱顶部变黄并自然倒伏时将其挖掘。不要折弯叶片以强迫成熟，而应使用叉子小心地将球根撬起，在温暖、通风且避风的地方晾干，待外皮变得像纸一样薄后，仅储存坚实、未受损的洋葱。
大丽花 (DAHLIA)
大丽花在 8 月最盛，为夏末的边界花坛带来浓郁的色彩和丰沛的展示。其花朵形式多样，从有利于传粉者的单瓣花到整洁的球状花，再到尖刺的仙人掌型以及戏剧性的晚餐盘型。这种多样性使其成为营造乡村花园氛围、热带戏剧感或作为长效切花的理想选择。 ‘多佛主教’ (Bishop of Dover) 大丽花是一个单瓣品种，淡紫色花瓣中心渐变为白色。‘公园公主’ (Park Princess) 是一种引人注目的仙人掌品种，具有很强的结构感，而 ‘达丽娜最大桃色’ (Dalina Maxi Peach) 则能提供柔和的色彩。 大丽花最适合生长在温暖、阳光充足且避风的位置，以及肥沃、排水良好的土壤中。较小的品种适合在容器中生长，而较高或大花品种通常需要坚固的支撑。在干旱期间，尤其是盆栽植物，要保持水分，并在生长强劲时定期施肥。 本月，请保持花卉的持续展示。通过将花茎剪至一对叶片处来去除枯萎的花朵，而不是直接移除枯萎的花头。在风雨后检查系绳，并去除任何受损的茎干。 欲了解更多信息，请观看在 Blue Diamond Garden Centres 的 Bridgemere 展示花园拍摄的《分步园艺》。 趣味事实：某些大丽花比其他品种更适合传粉者。中心开放的单瓣品种让蜜蜂和其他昆虫更容易接触到花粉和花蜜。
你知道吗？ 某些万寿菊 (Tagetes marigolds) 在地下和地上的工作同样勤恳。它们的根部会释放天然化合物，有助于抑制某些植物寄生线虫（或称鳗虫），这些线虫会损害根部并削弱作物。
草莓植株虽然丰产但寿命较短。作物通常在三到四年后产量下降，因此在时机成熟时，请用新植株更新苗床。匍匐茎让这一过程变得简单，您可以从健康的亲本植株获得年轻的替代植株。
莱氏白蜡树 (Ley’s whitebeam) 是 威尔士 最稀有的树种之一。野外仅存约 17 棵，攀附在布雷肯比肯斯 (Brecon Beacons) 的陡峭石灰岩悬崖上。
蒲苇 (Pampas grass) 看起来很柔软，但处理时请小心。它的花序像羽毛一样，但长叶边缘有锋利的锯齿，可能会割伤皮肤，因此在修剪或清理时请佩戴手套。

航空燃油价格飙升导致英国航空（British Airways）母公司的利润大幅下跌。在持续的中东冲突影响下，国际航空集团（IAG）的数据骤降超过三分之一。
IAG 报告称，截至 6 月底的三个月内，税前利润为 €995 million（8.52 亿英镑m）。而一年前这一数字为 €1.5bn。
综合燃料成本和排放费用增加了 €413m —— 这一 23% 的激增与美国及以色列与伊朗的战争相关。
营收稳定在 €8.9bn。营业利润下降 25% 至 €1.3bn。
首席执行官 Luis Gallego 坚称该集团具有“极佳的基本面”，且其多样化的品牌组合意味着该集团能够很好地应对“短期不利因素”。
该公司（同时拥有 Iberia、Vueling 和 Level 航空公司）表示，预计其整个网络的旅行需求将“保持强劲”。
今年下半年的座位预订率约为 57%，相关营收与去年持平。
公司补充道，预计其长途市场将“保持积极”，短途航班将具有“竞争力”。IAG 的

截至6月30日的半年期税前利润下降了 19%，从 €1.7bn 降至 €1.4bn。然而，这一期间的营收增长了 1% 至 €16.1bn。今年上半年，约有 57.9 million 名乘客乘坐 IAG 航班——与 2025 年相比相对稳定。
加列戈 (Mr Gallego) 补充道：“通过这些结果，IAG 再次证明了其出色的基本面正在支持为我们的股东持续创造价值，尽管受到了中东危机和更广泛地缘政治事件的影响。”
Hargreaves Lansdown 的股票分析师 Aarin Chiekrie 表示：“乍一看，核心数据可能令人失望，由于燃料成本飙升，营收基本持平，第二季度利润以两位数的速度下降。”
“但背景至关重要，且其利润表现比许多同行更为稳健。”
“得益于对日常成本的严格控制以及低于预期的燃料账单，其表现甚至好于市场的预期。”
BA 母公司遭遇逆风
如果 Sky 以 £1.6bn 收购其媒体与娱乐业务的交易顺利完成，ITV 将启动一项 1 亿英镑m 的股票回购计划。
在昨天的报告中，ITV 还确认了世界杯带来的广告收入增长，这有助于抵消近期出台的关于限制不健康食品广告的规定所造成的 2000 万英镑m 损失。

零售专家将接手门店
塞恩斯伯里（SAINSBURY’S）将把其 Argos 业务出售给一家由零售资深人士建立的公司，交易价值至少为 1.2 亿英镑million。Swift Partners 将购买 201 家独立 Argos 门店以及 466 家位于塞恩斯伯里内部的门店，以及取货点、仓库、物流和保修产品。该超市连锁店表示，此举将使其能够专注于其核心食品和杂货业务。Swift 由包括前 Co-op 负责人 Richard Pennycook 在内的零售专家共同创建。他表示：“我们坚信 Argos 的未来，并看到了投资并推进其进展的真实机会。”该交易预计将于明年 2 月完成，两家业务将于 2029 年完成全面分离。

联盟式橄榄球：超级联赛 超级联赛
文 / 詹姆斯·斯梅尔斯 圣海伦斯队将前往古老的约克市，杰克逊·亥斯汀斯警告称，他的球队需要应对的是骑士队的“历史之子”们（资深球员）。 约克队本赛季的表现令许多人感到惊讶，他们在第一轮比赛中就击败了冠军赫尔 KR 队。 在两名资深球员保罗·麦克谢恩和保罗·沃汉的鼓舞引领下，圣徒队深知，如果他们想在上次输给德比对手维冈队后重回胜轨，就必须能够处理好这些老将。 “他们那里有一些经验丰富的家伙，已经征战多年，还有一些令人兴奋的年轻后卫，所以我们要面对很大的挑战，”前“钢铁之男”亥斯汀斯说道。 “希望我们能打出最好的橄榄球风格并获得结果。” 圣徒队临时主教练埃蒙·奥卡罗尔召回了他的老将亚历克斯·沃尔姆斯利，以协助一支年轻的队伍。 约克队将让新签的马蒂·英格利在从哈德斯菲尔德巨人队转会后迎来首秀。 在法国南部，杰克·辛菲尔德回到了韦克菲尔德三位一体队的阵容中，他们正寻求连续第七场胜利，以维持进入前两名的希望。 他们将面对卡塔兰龙队，后者目前处于两场连败之中。
重大机会 赫尔队在追求荣誉
尚未破灭
查理·赫尔和洛蒂·沃德在皇家利瑟姆和圣安妮斯举行的 AIG 女子公开赛第二轮后，均以低于标准杆两杆的成绩排名。 在兰开夏郡海岸充满挑战的强风条件下，两名球员在每轮比赛中都记录了标准杆 71 杆的成绩。此前，寻求首个大满贯冠军的赫尔在第 17 洞将沙坑球击入洞中，拿到一只小鸟球。 沃德在半程交出低于标准杆两杆时表现良好，但她在第 11 洞和 12 洞错失了小鸟球机会，导致势头减弱，在第 14 洞丢了一杆，最后以一个波格球结束。 “今天是很不错的一天，”沃德说。 “看来今天得分确实更困难。只是有几个陷阱位置比较刁钻，而且风力稍微强了一些。我只需要尝试多拿几个小鸟球。” 沃德和赫尔都落后于领先者——韩国的柳海兰 5 杆。
在决赛之前
贾德·特朗普在锁定上海大师赛决赛席位后，今天将把绿色的台呢换成高尔夫球场。 特朗普在半决赛中以 10-6 击败世界冠军吴以蹊，将在明天的决赛中对阵凯伦·威尔逊或赵心洞。 这两位球员将在今天交手，不过特朗普的心思将放在其他地方。 特朗普说：“我不知道我会做什么。也许打打高尔夫，但我还没有计划太远。也许练习一下，也许打会儿高尔夫，或者就出去逛逛上海的景点。”
赛尔队合同至 2030 年
赛尔队钩子纳森·吉布鲁延长了他在加拉格尔顶级联赛俱乐部的效力期，直至 2030 年。 出生于伦敦的吉布鲁，23, 在去年夏天离开哈利昆队后签署的赛尔队合同还剩一年。他在曼彻斯特的表现令人印象深刻，并于 6 月被召入英格兰训练阵容。 吉布鲁（见下方）在俱乐部网站上表示：“我非常热爱在赛尔队的第一年。我们知道这个赛季没有达到我们的预期，但氛围非常好，很多年轻小伙子在重大比赛中获得了丰富经验。” “通过本赛季的签单，我们正在打造一支能够赢得冠军的队伍，我想成为其中一员。”

BEN STOKES仅拿到12分，达勒姆队在约克的一场售罄比赛中被约克郡队击败。
在单日杯（One-Day Cup）的交锋中，Stokes被快速出局，达勒姆队一度陷入42-4的劣势，最终以165分出局。
约克郡队在回应进攻时仅失2球（5-2），Stokes虽然拿到了Will Luxton的弃权球，但James Wharton和Sam Whiteman分别打出不败的半世纪得分，带领主队仅失三个球便获胜。

前英格兰队长Nasser Hussain敦促Harry Brook在被排除在测试队队长人选之外后要提高警觉。
尽管Brook在近几个月一直是Ben Stokes的得力助手，并得到了即将卸任的测试队队长的认可，但在本周Joe Root被重新任命为队长后，Brook被忽视了晋升机会。
男子板球执行总监Rob Key透露，Brook作为重要成员的工作量很大。

队长Fleming以及回归的英格兰队长Joe Root的合伙关系，将稳定性与成功带回一支已经迷失方向的队伍。
McCullum在掌舵英格兰白球队期间，依然是局面中重要的一部分，且仍有很多人相信Stokes可以在明年Ashes系列赛前再次回归。
在洛德勋爵板球场（Lord’s）发布他对英格兰队的最新愿景时，Key（右图）并不排除这位达勒姆全能球员会以轰动的方式回归。
当被问到Fleming是否提出过这个想法时，Key说：“目前我们还没讨论到那一步，但那将是极好的。”
故事。”在被问及斯托克斯本人是否给出了任何暗示时，面带微笑的基（Key）补充道：“没有，他没有，但我对此并不惊讶。对于本来说，任何事情都是可能的。 “没有桥梁被烧毁……完全没有。就我而言是这样。” 弗莱明，53 岁，在长期担任新西兰队队长期间是一位备受推崇的人员管理专家和战术家——在那段时间里，他与麦卡勒姆建立了深厚的联系。 当英格兰和威尔士板球委员会（ECB）试图避免此前在实施分权教练制时所出现的紧张局势时，这种关系可能会对他们大有帮助——此前安迪·弗劳尔与阿什利·贾尔斯未能融合；而马修·莫特在他们尝试共同承担工作时则扮演了配角。 人们对弗莱明不接管即将到来的对阵巴基斯坦系列赛一事感到不安。 在刚刚结束执掌钦奈超级国王队的长期任期后，他将在下个月抵达该国之前进行休息，这意味着在灰烬杯之前，他将错过七场测试赛且没有主场系列赛。 基坚持道：“我的工作是寻找最合适的人选。 “对于任何候选人来说，必须参加巴基斯坦系列赛都不是一项强制条件。如果真是那样，候选范围将被极大地缩小。 “一个月前，这可能并不在很多人的考虑范围内——包括我和斯蒂芬在内。在生活中，你有很多必须要做的事情，这些事情是提前很久规划好的，对他来说也非常重要。 “所以，必须在场并不是一项强制条件。 “我认为在斯蒂芬和乔身上，我们找到了两个最合适的人来接手这支潜力巨大的队伍。 “我一如既往地乐观地认为，我们已经找到了最合适的人选来推动英国板球向前发展。”
全格式常规队员和白球队长身份并未成为他被忽视的考量因素。 布鲁克在去年冬天率领英格兰队对阵新西兰的一场一日国际赛（ODI）前数小时，在一家夜总会外发生的冲突仍然投下了巨大的阴影，他偶尔鲁莽的击球风格同样如此。 虽然侯赛因强调了布鲁克在有限回合制球队中所做的工作——他带领 T20 球队登顶排名——但他对这位 27 岁球员的幼稚感到遗憾。“你需要一个成熟的哈里·布鲁克出现，而这一点一直缺失，”侯赛因说。“这就是为什么我对哈里本人感到有点失望，我认为他具备成为一名优秀队长的潜质。我认为这是一个错失的机会。 “（新任主教练斯蒂芬·弗莱明）待办事项中的一项，将是与哈里·布鲁克坐下来，实际上告诉他：‘我们不得不（将队长之职）交给一个可能并不想做这件事的人’。 “‘我们无法信任你来承担这份工作。振作起来，哈里，因为我认为你应该成为下一任英格兰测试板球队长’。”

詹姆斯·托尼 (JAMES TONEY) 发自格拉斯哥 乔什·克尔 (JOSH KERR) 志在主场赢得英联邦运动会冠军，但他预料到将面临另一位苏格兰人的挑战。 这位世界英里赛纪录保持者是今晚男子英里赛的最热门夺冠候选人。 在这场高质量的决赛中，只有金牌才算成功。参赛选手包括澳大利亚的 1500 米卫冕冠军奥利·霍尔 (Ollie Hoare) 和卡梅隆·迈尔斯 (Cameron Myers)。 不过，克尔认为在格拉斯哥最值得关注的是同为苏格兰人的杰克·怀特曼 (Jake Wightman)（插图，中间）。 他表示：“杰克的竞技状态极佳，他是那种能在重大锦标赛中爆发的运动员。顶级选手都认为自己能赢，这正是比赛精彩之处。” 距离克尔在当地参加青少年苏格兰锦标赛并获得第五名（当时他年仅 13 岁）已经整整 15 年了。在那场比赛中，他还在铅球和跳高项目中创下了至今仍是他个人最佳成绩的记录。 但他承认，他认不出初次访问时的斯科特斯顿 (Scotstoun) 了。 克尔说：“我对这里有太多美好的回忆，但这里一直风很大，现在他们把这里装修得像好莱坞一样。” 然而，新星迈尔斯并不打算在比赛中扮演配角。

她是个特别的人 (SHE’S SOMEFIN SPECIAL) 威尔·詹宁斯 (WILL JENNINGS) 报道 艾利斯·科塔斯 (ELLIS KOTTAS) 在一场充满争议的英联邦决赛重赛中失去了她的银牌，心情复杂。 这位 22 岁的英格兰队轮椅赛选手最初在周三混乱的 T54 1500 米项目中庆祝获得第二名，该场比赛在斯科特斯顿发生了四起碰撞事故。 科塔斯（右）在第三名时冲线，但在造成混乱的加拿大选手南迪尼·夏尔马 (Nandini Sharma) 被取消资格后，她的成绩被提升至银牌。在英格兰队的抗议和申诉后
这位澳大利亚人的谈话速度和他跑步一样快，坚持说他一直在研读 72 年前帝国运动会上著名的“奇迹英里”的故事。 他说：“你们需要记得，当时罗杰·班尼斯特赢得了金牌，而约翰·兰迪持有世界纪录，所以我希望在那儿能互换角色，但我们拭目以待。” “参加锦标赛是完全不同的局面。你必须面对更多的因素。在奥运会上，雅各布·因格布里格森跑得快了 2 秒。”
2 侧栏，每栏 200 字 詹姆斯·雷德（JAMES REID）报道 威尔士公主 Emma Finucane 在格拉斯哥举行的英联邦运动会上异军突起，夺得个人短距离赛冠军，称霸全场。 Finucane（右）击败了卫冕冠军 Ellesse Andrews 和英国队友 Sophie Capewell，在没有输掉一场比赛的情况下轻松获胜。 这确保了 Finucane 在本届运动会上的第二枚金牌，此前她已在周四与 Lowri Thomas 和 Rhian Edmund 共同摘得团体短距离赛金牌，现在她有机会完成一项辉煌的三冠王成就。
在加拿大被拒绝后，澳大利亚和毛里求斯随后请求重新举行比赛。 运动会上诉委员会维持了对 Sharma 的取消资格决定，并且至关重要的是，决定在昨天上午重新进行比赛。这一次，Kottas 仅获得第四名。 她说：“心情非常复杂。虽然有点失望，但仍然很兴奋。” “如果我拿到了那枚在基本半数竞争者被剔除的情况下获得的原始奖牌，那并不是靠我自己的实力。”
很好。我 明天的竞轮赛。她说：“我整晚都在为威尔士之龙而骑行。” “我的家人在观众席中，我的父亲也会在观看。我越过终点线，是为了威尔士，为了我的家人，以及为了所有帮助我走到这里的人。” 这位 23 岁的选手从一开始就显得势不可挡，在预赛中以 10.322 秒的运动会纪录获得最快成绩。 Finucane 在半决赛中击败了获得铜牌的威尔士队友 Edmunds，随后在决赛中轻松超越同样是奥运冠军的 Capewell，锁定金牌。

他共事过的“最伟大的球员”。 马尔蒂尼在Instagram上写道：“你教会了我直到最后一刻都要奋斗，向我展示了对球衣忠诚的意义以及成为一名真正领导者的价值。 “你是通过你的榜样作用来实现这一切的，每一天如此：言语不多，但行动无数。 “当我还是个孩子时，你保护我；当我成为年轻人时，你引导我；当我成年后，你激励我。你是我有幸共事过的最伟大的球员。 “我们会想念你的，队长。但你的星光将永远指引我们。”

来自悉尼的 ALASDAIR GOLD 罗伯托·德泽比准备在本赛季带领挥金如土的托特纳姆开启一段旅程——并向一名开出租车的阿森纳球迷证明，想去某些地方是需要花钱的。 这位意大利教练在今年夏天得到了热刺的支持，俱乐部两次打破转会纪录，首先是花费£8500万签下马特乌斯·费尔南德斯，随后是1 亿英镑m签下桑德罗·托纳利。 在托特纳姆的澳大利亚季前巡回赛期间，德泽比确认他们2.37 亿英镑m的夏季挥霍将继续，还会有“另外两个，也许三个。我们需要观察一下”。 热刺有信心在接下来的几周内签下曼彻斯特城的边锋萨维尼奥（见下文），并且据了解正在运作另一笔大交易，德泽比近日在悉尼已对此有所暗示，但仅准备确认是另一名进攻球员。 当被问及所有这些巨额支出是否增加了他的压力时，这位46岁的教练摇了摇头，并讲述了他在出发参加此次巡回赛前与一名伦敦出租车司机的一次对话。 “零压力。你知道为什么吗？因为有一天，伦敦的一名出租车司机拦住我，祝贺我在转会市场上的表现，”热刺主帅回忆道。“他说，‘诶，你们花了很多钱！’。 “我说，‘但你是谁的球迷？’ 答案是阿森纳。 “于是我说，‘在过去的三四年里，你们也花了很多钱’。 “我认为曼彻斯特城、利物浦、切尔西、阿森纳，为了留在积分榜顶端，他们都花了钱。 “如果你现在想竞争英超顶峰，并把托特纳姆提升到最高水平，我们需要”

以引进顶级球员，就像我们现在所做的那样。” 热刺定于今日在悉尼的 Accor Stadium 迎接切尔西的挑战，届时将有 80,000 名球迷在场（英国时间上午 10.45），这也是两队首次在伦敦以外地区进行德比战。 热刺主教练表示，德泽尔比将失去费尔南德斯，后者正遭受小腿疲劳。
但目前尚未确定上诉日期。 此案由英超委员会审理，涉及 2021 / 22 赛季。当时埃弗顿被判定在三年期间违反了利润与可持续发展条例 (PSR)。 伯恩利主张该违规行为影响了他们留在英超联赛的机会，并寻求与降级相关的损失赔偿。 “ the Clarets”（伯恩利队）获得了 2600 万英镑m 的赔偿金以及额外的 900 万英镑m 利息。 作为回应，埃弗顿表示
以及詹姆斯·麦迪逊，他在上个赛季大部分时间因前十字韧带 (ACL) 伤势而缺阵后，在季前赛中一分钟也没有上场。 德泽尔比表示：“詹姆斯有一个小问题。我不想冒任何风险，尤其是在本赛季的这个阶段。这对于我们来说显然很重要，但对他和马特乌斯 (Mateus) 来说同样如此。现在不是冒险的正确时机。” 德泽尔比支持科诺尔·加拉格尔在本赛季发挥影响力，尽管这位中场球员在麦迪逊缺阵期间承担 No.10 角色，而更深层的职责将由托纳利和费尔南德斯主导。 加拉格尔承认竞争非常激烈。这位前切尔西中场表示：“当你为像热刺这样顶尖俱乐部效力时，如果没有首发位置的竞争，那么就出问题了。我们
他们对该决定感到“惊讶且愤怒”，并声称，“这一裁决为英格兰足球设定了一个危险且不可行的先例，因为它建立在这样一个原则之上：俱乐部在财政年度的任何时间点都可能违反财务规则。” 当时，俱乐部消息人士坚称蓝军高层将强有力且彻底地质疑该裁决，而主教练大卫·莫耶斯表示：“我觉得我们已经支付了应尽的费用。”他还透露，老板告诉他，该决定不会对他的夏季转会预算产生负面影响。

前约克队老板斯图尔特·梅纳德表示，自上周末出人意料地被解雇以来，他收到的支持让他感到“难以承受”。 梅纳德在 4 月赢得国家联赛冠军，带领约克队在缺席十年后重返英足联 (EFL)，在最后一天对阵排名第二的罗奇代尔时，凭借最后一刻的绝平进球锁定升级资格。 “首先，我对过去几天在社交媒体上收到的支持信息感到难以承受。我已经阅读并感谢了每一条信息，”
梅纳德在联赛经理协会网站的一份声明中说道。 “能引导约克城队重返英足联，我感到荣幸且自豪。在支持者经历了 10 年的心碎之后，他们理应回到这里。” 约克队表示，解雇梅纳德（左）的决定是因为“对足球俱乐部的方向和愿景存在分歧”，且这家俱乐部已任命前斯温登、米尔顿凯恩斯 dons 和克劳利老板斯科特·林赛作为这位 45 岁教练的继任者。

作者：SIMON PEACH 汤达·埃克特（TONDA ECKERT）承认，在等待足球协会（FA）裁决之际，关于“间谍门”丑闻可能面临进一步处罚的可能性一直萦绕在他的心头。 由于南安普顿俱乐部承认三项间谍指控（此前被发现监视半决赛对手米德尔斯堡），英格兰足球联赛（EFL）独立纪律委员会将其从上赛季冠军联赛升级附加赛决赛中除名，并扣除本赛季 4 分。 埃克特（右）面临三项足球协会不当行为指控，他表示：“如果我说这件事不在我脑海中，那是谎言。决定下来后我们会感到轻松。”
海登·穆林斯（HAYDEN MULLINS）被任命为英甲（League Two）纽波特俱乐部的现任主教练。 这位前中场球员在职业生涯中出场近 700 次，大部分时间效力于水晶宫、西汉姆联和朴茨茅斯。 穆林斯曾在雷丁和科尔切斯特执教，并在效力于维卡里路球场期间两次担任沃特福德临时主教练。 这位 47 岁的主帅接替了克里斯蒂安·富克斯（Christian Fuchs），后者在确保这家威尔士俱乐部在上赛季最后一天保住英格兰足球联赛（EFL）地位后辞职。

作者：PAUL GORST 前利物浦主帅阿尔内·斯洛特（ARNE SLOT）准备抵御来自沙特职业联赛球队国民俱乐部（Al Ahli）的兴趣，他计划重返欧洲足球执教岗位。 这位前费耶诺主教练在 2024 年夏天接替尤尔根·克洛普后不到 12 个月，便带领红军夺得了第 20 座联赛冠军奖杯，但他的第二个赛季则困难得多。 利物浦在英超联赛中总共输掉了 12 场比赛，并在最后一天勉强挤进欧冠区。 在合同还剩一年时，斯洛特不情愿地被体育总监理查德·休斯（Richard Hughes）解雇。 此后，斯洛特（插图）曾与富勒姆俱乐部联系在一起，随后出现了沙特国民俱乐部对其感兴趣的报道。 在纽卡斯尔转而接触马蒂亚斯·雅斯莱（Matthias Jaissle，他将接替埃迪·豪在圣詹姆斯公园球场执教）后，斯洛特被认为是这家总部位于吉达的俱乐部的领先候选人之一。 然而，斯洛特的目标是回归欧洲执教。 AC米兰在聘请前曼联主帅鲁本·阿莫林（Ruben Amorim）之前曾与斯洛特联系，而前红军主帅的助手西普克·胡尔肖夫（Sipke Hulshoff）和乔瓦尼·范布隆克霍斯特（Giovanni van Bronckhorst）此后已返回费耶诺。
遭到冷遇
国际米兰尚未放弃对利物浦中场柯蒂斯·琼斯（Curtis Jones）的追求。 国米曾在1月份尝试签下琼斯，并在今年夏天早些时候提出了一份价值 2100 万英镑m 的报价，但被拒绝。 红军希望这名 25 岁球员的转会费能接近 3500 万英镑m。在本周与雷克瑟姆（Wrexham）的友谊赛期间，琼斯与队友在场上发生了冲突。 国米愿意为琼斯支付接近 3000 万英镑m，由于其在安菲尔德的合同仅剩一年，利物浦高层认为，与其让他以低于估价的价格离队，不如在明年夏天让他自由身离队。 在 1-0 击败雷克瑟姆的纽约之战中，这名中场球员与科斯塔斯·齐米卡斯（Kostas Tsimikas）及多米尼克·索博斯卡伊（Dominik Szoboszlai）（插图）陷入了一场激烈的争执，起因似乎是为了队长袖标。 有人看到琼斯向这位匈牙利球员指手画脚，而索博斯卡伊试图安抚他，这似乎让他变得更加沮丧。 随后，齐米卡斯将队长袖标扔在地上，琼斯和索博斯卡伊则气愤地在空中挥舞手臂。 琼斯随后捡起袖标并拥抱了索博斯卡伊，而与此同时，这位中场球员正面对着愤怒且烦躁的齐米卡斯。
下最后通牒
作者：CONNOR O’NEILL 由于维尼修斯（Vinicius Junior）持续吸引阿森纳的关注，皇家马德里已向其提交了一份“要么接受，要么离开”的最终合同报价。 枪手已经询问了这位巴西国脚的情况，因为主教练米克尔·阿尔特塔（Mikel Arteta）希望在今年夏天签下经过验证的人才。 维尼修斯符合要求，他为这家西班牙巨头出战 375 场比赛，赢得了 14 座奖杯并打入 128 球，但他目前的合同仅剩一年。 皇马曾尝试续签维尼修斯的合同，但由于未能取得进展，他们现在向这位星级球员发出了最后通牒。 这家西甲球队已告知这名 26 岁球员的阵营，他们提交的最新合同报价是最终方案，不会进一步增加金额，也不会再进行新一轮谈判。 如果维尼修斯接受，他的合同将获得续签；然而，如果他拒绝该报价，皇马将在今年夏天开启出售大门，以防止这位巴西人明年夏天免费离开。 枪手今年夏天已经通过从俱乐部布鲁格（Club Brugge）以 £34million 签下克里斯托斯·佐利斯（Christos Tzolis）增强了进攻选择，并且正在追踪纽卡斯尔队长布鲁诺·吉马良斯（Bruno Guimaraes）。 阿尔特塔表示：“我们必须证明自己属于这个水平，我们希望提升并将这家足球俱乐部带向另一个维度。” “我们都知道这次转会窗的情况。从所有者到董事会，体育总监以及我自己，我们都知道我们想把这家俱乐部提升到另一个水平。” “这将需要更好的阵容，更好的个人。我们已经确定了在哪些方面有成长、进步和进化比赛的空间，以及实现这一目标所需具备的条件。” “希望很快我们能以一种非常具体的方式开始落实这些事情。”
马托斯 签至 2030 年
斯旺西（SWANSEA）主教练维托尔·马托斯（Vitor Matos）签署了一份新合同，有效期至 2030 年夏天。 这位 38 岁的葡萄牙人（见下方）于去年11月被任命，在斯旺西以英冠联赛第 11 名完赛期间，他率队在 30 场联赛中赢得了 14 场。 “从我到达这里的那一刻起，我就感觉到斯旺西市与球迷及社区之间的联系是多么强大，”马托斯说。 “我们在上赛季打下了良好的基础，但现在我们必须向前看，必须继续推进并取得进步。” 首席执行官汤姆·戈林格（Tom Gorringe）表示：“维托尔在去年11月被任命后产生了显著的影响，我们对他带领斯旺西市前进的方向感到兴奋。”

悬而未决

他在家乡巴西在世界杯后的休假是否与其未来有关——这仅仅是为了方便他的旅行计划。 他们还坚持认为，目前尚未收到来自阿森纳关于吉马良斯（Guimaraes）的直接联系，同时暗示该球员被灌输了关于一次可能永远无法获得批准的转会的想法。 尽管有说法称，阿森纳曾通过中间人提交了两份方案，但都被纽卡斯尔拒绝了——最近一次的报价在 £70million 加上 500 万英镑m 附加费左右。 确实毫无疑问的是，关于具体报价，现在球权在阿森纳手中，据了解，如果纽卡斯尔考虑出售，要求的金额将为 8000 万英镑。 喜鹊（Toon）首席执行官大卫·霍金森（David Hopkinson）和体育总监罗斯·威尔逊（Ross Wilson）——后者于昨天飞往西班牙——已获得俱乐部沙特支持者的授权来处理此事。由于其合同还剩两年，他们依然决心不予出售。 作为俱乐部队长，吉马良斯一直不愿像去年夏天的亚历山大·伊萨克（Alexander Isak，见上图）那样公开促请转会。 但鉴于埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe）周四卸任主教练，情况可能会有所改变。 新任德国主帅贾斯莱（Jaissle）将带来自己的幕后团队，预计将签署一份为期四年的合同——纽卡斯尔将为此向其前俱乐部国民队（Al-Ahli）支付 800 万英镑m 的补偿金。
远在千里
作者：李·莱德（LEE RYDER） 纽卡斯尔已确认埃迪·豪已从主教练一职上卸任。 这位 48 岁的教练告诉喜鹊队，在将俱乐部从降级边缘救回并率领喜鹊队进入卡拉宝杯后的情感起伏之年，他希望结束五年的执教生涯。 俱乐部的一份声明读到：“纽卡斯尔联宣布，埃迪·豪已告知俱乐部他决定卸任主教练一职。 “俱乐部接受了埃迪的决定，并感谢他的非凡贡献。 “同时离开俱乐部的还有教练杰森·廷代尔（Jason Tindall）、格雷厄姆·琼斯（Graeme Jones）、斯蒂芬·珀切斯（Stephen Purches）和西蒙·韦瑟斯通（Simon Weatherstone），以及体能主管丹·霍奇斯（Dan Hodges）。” 随后，豪（见上图）在一段感言中表示：“经过一段时间的个人反思，我决定现在是我卸任纽卡斯尔联主教练职务的合适时机。 “在近五年的时间里，我以不懈的精力将我的生命、心血和灵魂奉献给了这家俱乐部，我认为为了我个人和俱乐部的最佳利益，我现在应该离开、充电并休息。这是我一生中的荣幸。”

还是 逃避？
作者：李·莱德（LEE RYDER） 尽管阿森纳决心推进签下这位巴西中场球员的交易，但纽卡斯尔联预计布鲁诺·吉马良斯将于明天报到参加季前训练营。 喜鹊队的其余队员已于昨天飞往西班牙的拉曼恰（La Manga），新任主帅马蒂亚斯·贾斯莱（Matthias Jaissle）预计今日抵达。 纽卡斯尔希望贾斯莱能帮助说服吉马良斯，尽管枪手队感兴趣，但他的未来仍将在泰恩赛德（Tyneside）。 但目前尚不清楚吉马良斯是否会前往西班牙南部，有传言称该球员的阵营认为，在转会至酋长球场仍是一个选项的情况下，报到参加训练对他没有好处。 但泰恩赛德的消息人士否认了布鲁诺延迟从巴西回来的原因与此有关的说法。

“她从三岁到四岁可能有了很大进步，现在是一个强壮的大个体，”蓝闪电（Blue Bolt）的所有者 Juddmonte 的赛马经理 Barry Mahon（左图）说道。“这令人兴奋。” ■古德伍德（GOODWOOD）赛道主管 Ed Arkell 昨晚在卡塔尔赞助的“辉煌”赛会最后一天前对赛道进行了浇水——今天的场地官方状态为“好至坚实，部分地区为好”。
William Hill 发言人 Lee Phelps 表示…… 对于古德伍德的博彩业者来说，这是漫长的一周，热门马匹的表现起伏不定。我们昨天的运气稍好，成功让备受支持的 Talk In New York 和 Night Raider 两匹马落败。 我们希望以高调地结束这一周，并希望在今天的管家杯（Stewards’ Cup, 3.35）中，备受支持的 SONDAD (11-2 从 10-1) 不要为赌客们赢回奖金。Charlie Hills 在这类短途赛中始终是一位值得尊敬的练马师，他的赛马 MITBAAHY (10-1 从 16-1) 是另一匹我们需要警惕的马。去年的冠军 TWO TRIBES (17-2 从 9-1, 右图) 在市场中表现突出，而 2024 年的获胜者 GET IT (18-1 从 25-1) 则是以更高的赔率获得支持。 VALEDICTORY (9-4 从 4-1) 是首场障碍赛 (1.50) 中备受支持的热门马。Joseph O’Brien 昨天在赛程中获得了双胜，他的两匹赛马 AERONAUTIC (11-2 从 13-2) 和 SMALL FRY (9-2 从 15-2) 的市场赔率均有所下降。
在第三组辉煌锦标赛 (Glorious Stakes, 2.25) 的投注中，OPPORTUNITY (9-4 从 3-1) 从 AL AASY (5-2 从 9-4) 手中夺得了热门地位，而市场上的一个大波动是 JP McManus 拥有的 IN MY TEENS (5-1 从 17-2)。 AMELIA EARHART 在之前的橡树赛（Oaks）和爱尔兰橡树赛中连续两次令人失望，但 Aidan O’Brien 的这匹小马得到了支持，她在第二组莉莉·朗特里锦标赛 (Lillie Langtry Stakes, 3.00) 中的赔率已从 9-1 降至 15-2。 在七浪距离（seven-furlong）障碍赛 (4.10) 中，Godolphin 的 WILD DESERT (11-2 从 6-1) 获得了一些小额投注。 由于热门马 Al Wathba 的退出，七浪距离的初赛 (4.45) 市场发生了剧烈变化，使得 SPEAKERS CORNER (11-4 从 9-2) 成为热门。 在 2026 年古德伍德辉煌赛会的最后一场比赛 (5.20) 中，赌客们期待由 Saffie Osborne 骑乘的 BLUE COURVOISIER (4-1 从 6-1) 能以辉煌的表现收官。
好至坚实 天气 1,
八场赛事；Radio 5 Live 更新 锁定 Vale 冲击三连胜
由 侦察员 (The Scout) (Melissa Jones) 撰写
VALEDICTORY (1.50) 在古德伍德最后一天的 Highclere Castle Gin 夏季让磅赛中，有望将竞争对手甩在身后。 在这次由卡塔尔赞助的节庆赛中，赌客们占据了上风，本周前四场赛事中有很多热门马夺冠。 而身披戈多尔芬蓝色的 Valedictory 可能会让人们在连续第二天取得开门红，并完成他的三连胜。 这匹由 John 和 Thady Gosden 共同训练的阉马在佩戴颊带时保持不败，并在五月的一次同场地同距离比赛中获胜，当时未来的获胜马 Too Soon（第五名）和 Align The Stars（第六名）均在其身后。 在权重增加 5lb 的情况下，Valedictory 在纽马基特再次夺冠，以一个颈长和一个头之差击败了另外两匹经验更丰富的对手。 骑师 William Buick 当时似乎并未全力以赴，即便权重又增加了 3lb，我认为我的选择具备足够的进步空间来承载此压力。
年轻且在进步的长距离赛马 OPPORTUNITY (2.25) 在爱丁堡公爵锦标赛中从 1 号闸位表现出色后，被提升至第三组 Coral Glorious Stakes 赛。 在前往皇家雅士谷赛马会之前，这匹由 William Haggas 训练的阉马在五月的卡莱尔比赛中轻松获胜，当时他以两个又四分之一马身之差率先冲线。 在伯克郡的比赛早期，他被克制在领先者之后，但随后以惊人的态势发力，超过了同样前途光明的年轻赛马 Warrant Holder。而他与本场赛事两届冠军 Al Aasy 之间 4lb 的差距在可弥补范围内。
WAARDAH (3.00) 在经过一次旨在提高体能的比赛后，被看好在连续两届第二组卡塔尔 Lillie Langtry Stakes 赛中获胜。 那是在五月卡莱尔举行的第三组 Lester Piggott 雌马锦标赛中，在一段并非其最佳的短距离赛程中，她落后于顶级灰色马 Estrange 一个半马身。 几周后，David O’Meara 厩舍的明星马在库拉的顶级 Pretty Polly Stakes 赛中验证了该赛事的含金量，这表明在今日赛场战绩为 2-2 的 Waardah 能够适应快速场地。
GHOST MODE (4.10) 去年在该赛事的第二级单胜赛中屈居 Isaac Newton 之后第三名，现回归参加 Phase Eight 让磅赛。 这匹由 Andrew Balding 训练的赛马目前仍是牡马，在三月南威尔的一场六浪速第二级赛事中以四个又四分之一马身领先夺冠，暗示他本赛季能再次征战七浪速赛程。 Ghost Mode 遭到了让磅员的重罚，权重增加了 10lb，并在五月参加了雅士谷的英联邦杯试赛，当时他似乎反感单独领跑。 但两周前在纽马基特一场竞争激烈的三岁马让磅赛中获得第六名，迹象表明他正在恢复状态。 评级员已将他的权重降低至一个更现实的水平，而曾在另一个轻松赛道切斯特助力其七浪速单胜赛夺冠的 Rob Hornby 将负责操盘。
操盘。
被看好：Iconic Times 赔率被压低至 2-1
作者：David Yates
在周四晚上的伍尔弗汉普顿（Wolverhampton）赛马场上，一场针对“绝对稳赢”的 Iconic Times 的场内豪赌让博彩公司不得不计算损失。
这匹四岁的赛马穿着“Max & Mabel”的赛衣。在由 Heather Main 照顾的 15 次出赛中赢了两次后，它在为 Jennie Candlish 效力的前四次起跑中未能给评判员制造任何麻烦。
但邓斯托尔公园（Dunstall Park）的赌客们在“下载赛日准备就绪应用程序”让赛（第一组）中只看中了一匹马。这匹四岁赛马重新佩戴了颊带，并首次降低到 0-60 级别公司竞争，其赔率从 7-1 一路跌至 2-1 的热门。
这场估计从投注环中抽走了 £50,000 的豪赌最终获胜，由 Sean Dylan Bowen 骑乘的上述阉马以一个马身之差夺冠。
“我在 7-1 时押了一千英镑，”以 Pinno 身份在赛场交易的 Barry Pinnington 说道。“几个同事分别押了 £6,000 和 £1,000，另一个人押了六只猴子（£500）。”
“你知道当一匹马的赔率从 7-1 变成 6-1，再到 5-1，而仍然有人想在 3s 和 5-2 时支持它——你就会想，‘这看起来绝对稳赢’。”
“这让人感觉很糟糕——不是因为输了，而是因为这种性质。当那个孩子来领取奖金时，我说——他看起来大约 21 岁——‘伙计，我以前没见过你’。”
“他说，‘我其实不太懂博彩！’他们直接把他派到一线。我很惊讶投注环里竟然有足够的现钱来支付赔付。”

训练师：G Cromwell (IRE) 马主：Mr John P McManus 遮面 (HOOD)：2, 6, 8 号。 预测：13-8 Al Aasy, 3 Opportunity, 5 Ghostwriter, 8 King’s Gambit, 10 Enfjaar, In My Teens, 20 Involvement, 33 Midak。 2025：Al Aasy 8-9-6, Jim Crowley 13-8 热门 (W Haggas), 抽签 (6), 5 匹参跑。 指南：Al Aasy 刚刚在贝弗利 (Beverley) 的一项列赛 (Listed event) 中获胜 (1m4f, gd-fm)，力争连续第三年夺冠。他可能会采取大胆的进攻，且比同厩马 Opportunity 更被看好，但 GHOSTWRITER 绝非易与之辈。这匹五岁马在皇家雅士谷 (Royal Ascot) 的 Wolferton 赛 (1m2f, gd-fm) 中作为热身，状态将更加犀利；如果能重现去年 Hardwicke 赛 (1m4f, gd-fm) 中获得第三名（仅次于 Rebel’s Romance）的表现，他有望在终点线前发力。In My Teens 从爱尔兰远道而来，在负重方面具有优势，由 Oisin Murphy 操盘。

训练师：A P O’Brien (IRE) 马主：Mrs John Magnier, mr M Tabor 舌带 (TONGUE STRAP)：4 号；颊带 (CHEEK PIECES)：7 号。 预测：5-2 Waardah, 4 Danielle, Santorini Star, 9-2 Consent, 15-2 Goodie Two Shoes, 10 Amelia Earhart。 2025：Waardah 3-8-13, Callum Rodriguez 7-2 (Owen Burrows), 抽签 (3), 8 匹参跑。 指南：Waardah 去年赢得了这场比赛 (gd-sft)，在卡莱尔 (Carlisle) 的比赛 (1m3f, gd-fm) 中不敌名将 Estrange 获得第二名后，看来目标是再次夺冠。在时隔七个月后的首次出赛中，她的状态必定有所提升，不容忽视，但要战胜 DANIELLE 仍有难度。DANIELLE 在12个月前仅以不到一个身位之差落败，且现在比当时的冠军减轻了 10 磅。她在回归后赢得了 G3 组别的 Bronte Cup (1m6f, gd)，目前看来已准备好复仇。曾在爱尔兰雌马冠军赛 (Irish Oaks) (1m4f, gd-fm) 中获得第五名的 Amelia Earhart 由 Aidan O’Brien 代表，也可能发起挑战。

ARCHIVIST 载入赛马史册，成为首位由卡塔尔训练且拥有的 Coral 金英里赛 (Coral Golden Mile) 冠军。
这匹赔率 16-1 的赛马由 Hamad Al Jehani 训练，他在移居纽马基特之前是家乡的冠军训练师，并身披卡塔尔埃米尔旗下 Wathnan Racing 投资公司的赛色。
Callum Rodriguez 从 20 号闸位起跑并采取外线走法，避开了内侧的拥挤，在最后一浪前将这匹最高重量级的赛马带至领先位置，最终以一个马 lengths 的优势击败 Cerulean Bay。
Al Jehani 表示：“在卡塔尔古德伍德节 (Qatar Goodwood Festival) 赢得冠军对我们来说非常重要。”他的这匹四岁赛马在最近一次参赛——即作为 5-1 热门参加雅士谷赛马会皇家猎杯 (Royal Hunt Cup) 时，在 28 匹马中仅获得第 20 名。
“他上次在雅士谷无法适应直线英里赛。我们知道有弯道的英里赛对他很有帮助，因为这能让他整个比赛过程更加舒适。”
“我希望能抽到更好的闸位，但抽中后我就在想，‘我们如何才能从那里获胜？’” 之前的 10 场冠军中仅有 2 匹的抽签号码高于 5 号闸。Rodriguez 说道：“抽签结果出来后我有点担心，但事实证明这可能对我们有利，因为我们跑出了一条流畅的路线，而且他在每个阶段的状态都很好。”
Al Jehani 从他的纽马基特邻居 William Haggas 手中接过了 Archivist。Haggas 的 Silver Lake 同样身披 Wathnan 赛色，并在收官战英国种马研究中心 EBF 雌马让赛 (British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap) 中不负 4-5 的热门预期夺冠。
在皇家雅士谷圣詹姆斯宫锦标赛 (St James’s Palace Stakes) 中屈居 Bow Echo 之后第三名的 Talk Of New York，以 2-5 的极高热门赔率出战第三组赛事的 HKJC 世界马池纯血马锦标赛 (HKJC World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes)，但未能追上 Shayem。Shayem 为 Karl Burke 赢得了双冠，另一场胜利由 Sam James 合作的 Revels 在 Hawes & Curtis 幼马让赛 (Hawes & Curtis Nursery Handicap) 中获得。
Joseph O’Brien 和 Dylan Browne McMonagle 同样收获两场胜利：Defiantly 赢得了两英里半距离的 Coral 古德伍德让赛 (Coral Goodwood Handicap) 开幕战；随后 Galen 在 Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck 条件赛 (Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck Conditions Stakes) 中以一个颈长的优势击败了 Burke 的 Boiling Point。

WATHNAN’S ROCK 情况良好
我们以相当不错的机会进入了这次精彩的卡塔尔古德伍德节 (Qatar Goodwood Festival) 的最后一天。 HOPEWELL ROCK (1.50, 古德伍德) 在皇家雅士谷 (Royal Ascot) 的表现很出色，但我认为他当天的状态并非最佳。 在整个比赛过程中，他看起来有些沉闷。 此后他的训练非常出色，在离开雅士谷时状态极佳，自他在那里冲过终点线起，这就是我们的计划。 能派遣一名选手参加

Wathnan Racing 对他们来说是一个大型节日，马匹目前状态极佳。 在我看来，TRYST (3.23, Newmarket) 是我们本周末最好的机会。 她在主场训练时的表现一直像是一匹让磅合适的雌马。 上次由 Billy [Loughnane] 骑乘时，我们终于让她跑对了距离，我希望她能适应负重的增加并进一步进步。 ASUKA (3.42, Thirsk) 将进行他的首次让赛，在 Jack Callan 放弃见习骑师申请仅几天后，将由他担任骑师。 我们认为 Jack 前途无量，他是我们团队的重要组成部分。 Asuka 上次获胜令人印象深刻，并将以 89 的分值开始让赛。 七分之一个英里 (Seven furlongs) 的距离应该很适合他，在这次看起来稍弱的赛事中，他应该能名列前茅。

Hills 在 2024 年这里唯一的一次起跑中获胜（1 浪兴, 良好场地），尽管上个月在约克（1 浪兴, 良好-坚实场地）仅获第五，但凭借新的评分他仍有机会，不过更推荐 JEDDAAL。这是一匹出赛经验较少的三岁马，曾在 6 月在切斯特（1 浪兴, 良好-柔软场地）获胜，在赛季推进并提升级别之前，他可以拿下这场比赛。Mirsky 昨天被排除在古德伍德的金英里赛之外，将回到他最近一次在 Thirsk 猎手杯（1 浪兴, 良好-坚实场地）获胜的赛场。他可以进入考虑范围，以及最近在约克获胜（7 浪兴, 良好-坚实场地）的 Northern Express 和 Pure Legend。

ANDY Burnham has been accused of “hypocrisy” in a row over his plans for mayors to keep a share of taxes collected in their areas. The Prime Minister announced yes- terday that regional mayors will be allowed a slice of income tax and busi- ness rates as part of his push to move power out of Westminster. Some Tory and Reform UK mayors suggested they would use the new powers to hand cash back to local tax- payers. But their plans were slapped down by Mr Burnham. The PM said: “This is not about making them mini-Chancellors of the Exchequer, undermining or rewriting policy on tax and personal fi nance. “This is a policy for growth and investment. It’s a very clear policy of the kind that Greater Manchester has benefi ted from over the last decade, where if you get more growth in your economy, you’re given an incentive to do that because you can keep more of the proceeds of that to then keep investing and keep the growth going.” But Shadow Local Government Secretary Sir James Cleverly said the “hypocrisy of Labour’s top-down

devolution agenda” had been “laid bare”. He added: “Labour say they want to empower local communities, but instead, ministers in Whitehall are telling local leaders what they can and can’t spend their money on. “They are blocking tax cuts while slashing funding for councils with low tax rates, trying to force them to hike bills to keep services going. “Labour want to impose their high- tax model across England, and make families pay the Burnham penalty.” The PM, the ex-Greater Manchester Mayor, called the plans “the biggest

First Secretary of State Louise Haigh, who is handling devolution, said it was not “possible at the moment” for mayors to give rebates to residents. Tory Tees Valley mayor Lord Ben Houchen said: “So devolution means getting people’s taxes to spend but not being allowed to give it back to them. “Last time I spoke to the PM, devo- lution was about Whitehall not dictat- ing what areas can or can’t do.” Details are set to be announced in the autumn Budget.

the pitch, that’s what we want’
BY LEO ROBERTS IF HER hit show Ted Lasso encourages more women to pursue careers in football, Hannah Waddingham will be delighted – but the work must start in schools. “I never played football in school. I know Mary Earps, Leah Williamson and Jill Scott – they all had to struggle to be taken seriously”, she says. “That’s where it needs to start. If this encourages girls to get on the pitch, then my God – that’s what we want.” The London- born actress is returning to her role as fearsome AFC Richmond boss Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso, the Apple TV+ show that catapulted her to global stardom. It’s testament that the mother-of-one – who recently described her overnight fame after 25 years in showbusiness as “delicious” – fi nally getting all the recognition she deserves. But long before Ted Lasso became a hit, Waddingham was building up an impressive CV. The 5ft 11in acting powerhouse made guest appearances in TV staples such as Doctors, Hollyoaks and Benidorm, followed by memorable turns in global hits Sex Education and Game Of Thrones. She is also a highly respected West End star. But it was Ted Lasso, which returns on August 5, that really put Waddingham, 51, on the map. She is loving every second of her mid-life fame. “It really does feel more special,” she has said. “I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 20, 25, 30, because I know who I am.” That self-belief is one of the reasons she is so popular with fans. Much like Ted Lasso’s tough-talking Rebecca, the actor isn’t afraid to stand up for herself

– before hosting the Olivier Awards in 2024, she called out a photographer who asked her to “show leg” on the red carpet. She said, “You’d never say that to a man, my friend. Don’t be a d**k.” The photographer later apologised, but the furore cast a shadow over what should have been one of her proudest moments. “I was going off to host an entire evening live and my sadness at the time was that had been reduced to that, instead of my live performance directly after that, which is one of the greatest achievements of my life,” she said. The star, who has 11-year-old daughter Kitty with former partner, Italian hotelier Gianluca Cugnetto, said recently: “We, as the females in society, us older ones, we need to encourage the younger ones, to make sure that we are respected.” For years, motherhood came fi rst, but
although Hannah put her theatre work on the back burner after Kitty was born in 2014, she says that she feels torn when it comes to juggling acting and parenting. “I’m about to go away to do press for the next season of Ted Lasso and the mummy guilt descends,” she said last month. “But I have to try to combat it.” After being single for eight years, Hannah is dating spine surgeon Nick Beresford-Cleary. She has described the relationship as “really, really lovely.” The new series of Ted Lasso, starring Jason Sudeikis as football coach Ted, focuses on coaching a women’s team – and it sounds like Hannah couldn’t have been more thrilled to be stepping back into Rebecca’s heels once again. Talking about the three-year gap between series three and four, she says: “It made me realise the only person I didn’t get to be with anymore was Rebecca. There’s something very strange about missing a character that only exists when you’re embodying them!”
KATIE LAM Conservative MP for Weald of Kent
THE footage of tens of thousands of illegal migrants, the vast majority of them young men, pouring across the Spanish border at Ceuta is horrifying. But this latest infl ux didn’t appear out of thin air. Spain is perhaps the starkest example of how a soft touch on illegal migration only invites more of the same. In April, the Spanish government announced plans to grant an amnesty to almost all of the country’s illegal migrants. They predicted that half a million people would apply for legal settlement. In fact, more than a million have applied for the scheme thus far. And earlier this month, the Spanish Supreme Court ruled migrants arriving in Ceuta by sea could not be automatically removed to Morocco. Instead, they have to be processed through Spain’s ordinary immigration system – a decision which sent a clear signal to smuggling networks that they’d face no real consequences for helping people into Spain. Once in Spain, illegal migrants will be able to seek asylum en masse and, thanks to the EU’s new “Pact on Migration and Asylum”, will spread out across the continent, with all EU states obliged to host a share of them, or otherwise assist in (and pay for) their resettlement.
So what possible deterrent is there for crossing illegally into Spain? This should be a wake-up call for our own government which is, disgracefully, making essentially the same mistakes as the Spanish government. As soon as they came to power, Labour scrapped rules introduced by the last government which banned illegal migrants from seeking asylum. Fewer than one in six rejected asylum seekers are removed from this country. And now the Home Secretary is talking about opening up more “safe and legal routes”, with “community organisations” allowed to sponsor asylum seekers. As Spain’s sorry example shows, if national governments won’t take their borders seriously, illegal migrants won’t either. A soft touch on mass migration today always means more mass migration tomorrow. If we want to prevent Europe’s immigration crisis from adding to our own crisis at the border, we must make clear that those who come to this country illegally will never be allowed to stay here. That means leaving the ECHR, and swiftly removing everybody who arrives here illegally. If we don’t act now, Spain’s self- infl icted immigration crisis could soon fi lter through to our shores.

“disgracefuly” making the same mistakes as Spain over migration. Dozens drowned in the Med try- ing to breach Morocco’s frontier with Spain’s autonomous city of Ceuta, swimming along the North African coast from Fnideq. Border controls collapsed amid the chaos as crowds surged past bodies in the water on to Tarajal beach on Thursday night, in a dip- lomatic disaster for EU leaders. Other migrants died in stampedes. As Spain sent military and police units to Ceuta – just 11 miles from its mainland Cadiz province – Italian premier Giorgia Meloni demanded Madrid’s government is booted out of the open-borders Schengen Zone. She then shut Italy’s sea and air links with Spain. Shadow Home Offi ce minister Ms Lam told the Express: “This should be a wake-up call for our
own government. Labour scrapped rules introduced by the last govern- ment which banned illegal migrants from seeking asylum. “Fewer than one in six rejected asylum seekers are removed. “Now the Home Secretary is talking about opening up more ‘safe and legal routes’, with ‘com- munity organisations’ allowed to sponsor asylum seekers.

illegally will never be allowed to stay here. That means leaving the [European Convention on Human Rights], and swiftly removing eve- rybody who arrives here illegally.” Home Offi ce sources said that migrants in Ceuta would not be able to claim asylum in the UK if they reach the British territory of Gibraltar, across the Med. Spain’s interior ministry said 37,500 migrants who crossed into Ceuta later returned to Morocco. With the initial death toll of 43 expected to rise, the sea near the border breakwater fence was yes- terday littered with buoys, shoes and abandoned belongings. Moroccan forces had used water cannon, tear gas and road blocks to try to keep people from the border. Spain’s PM Pedro Sanchez
blamed people traffi ckers for the crisis, saying they “ultimately lead many [migrants] to their deaths”. But critics blamed a Spanish court ruling which barred migrants who arrive by sea from being deported. They fear it will mean more people reach the mainland. Spain’s recent migrants amnesty led to almost 1.2 million applying for the scheme in 10 weeks. More than 600,000 have been granted temporary work permits. Last night there were fears that once migrants reach Spain, they can claim asylum en masse and, under the EU’s Pact on Migration and Asylum, could be redistributed across the continent with member states required to take their share. Critics maintain this risks remov- ing any meaningful deterrent to
migrants making the illegal cross- ing into Spain in the fi rst place. Nigel Farage said: “Schengen allows these migrants an easy route to Calais and unless we leave the ECHR, we simply cannot stop them. They will all be queuing in Calais to cross the English Channel and illegally enter Britain.”
The Reform chief added: “I sup- port my friends Giorgia Meloni and [president of France’s National Rally] Jordan Bardella who say they will take extraordinary meas- ures to stop this invasion.” EU president Ursula von der Leyen said the “images coming from Ceuta are unacceptable”. She added: “We cannot allow
anyone to come to our Union with- out abiding by our rules. Dangerous crossings must stop immediately. And returns must be swift, as our rules allow.” While Ms Meloni said: “The images coming from Ceuta are striking and demonstrate, once again, that uncontrolled illegal migration poses a concrete threat to the security of Europe’s borders. “Italy will not stand by and watch. We are prepared to inter- vene to defend the borders and safety of citizens.” Mr Bardella, viewed as France’s next president, said: “This is an unprecedented deluge. Ceuta is Europe’s future if we do not put an end to this naive migration policy. In the face of this emergency, the European Union must immediately
Blind drink-driver made 150-mile trip on motorway
BY JAMES CONNOLLY
A BLIND drink-driver travelled 150 miles through the night by following the tail lights of lorries, before police spotted him drifting towards the hard shoulder. Anthony Hall, 49, had taken his partner’s car without permission and set off from Huddersfi eld, West Yorks, despite being registered blind, unlicensed and uninsured. He was also over the legal alcohol limit as he made the journey towards Cumbria. A court heard it was “miraculous” that nobody was killed or seriously injured during the motorway journey. Police spotted Hall in the Vauxhall Meriva at around 1.45am on June 29. Offi cers watched as the car drifted between lanes and towards the hard shoulder. When they pulled him over, Hall admitted he had been drinking wine. He had 46mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35mcg. He then stunned offi cers by revealing he had been blind for two years – and had navigated the motorway by following HGV lights. Hall, of Huddersfi eld, appeared at Rickergate magistrates court in Carlisle, where he admitted dangerous driving, drink-driving, driving without a licence or insurance and taking his partner’s car without consent. Sentencing was adjourned until September 8 and Hall was handed an interim driving ban until then.
‘fights extradition’
BY IZZIE ADDISON
A BRITISH man is said to be fi ghting extradition to the UK to face charges of spying for Iran at an RAF base in Cyprus. Rashad Sultanov, 44, a dual UK and Azerbaijani national, is accused of conducting hostile surveillance at RAF Akrotiri and sharing information with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, according to the Met Police. Sultanov, from Islington, North London, was arrested on July 17 and is now in custody as extradition proceedings progress. It was reported that he appeared in Limassol district court on Thursday, with proceedings adjourned until he is given a UK lawyer funded by legal aid. His arrest under the National Security Act follows a probe, led by Counter Terrorism Policing London, into incidents at the key air base between May 11 and June 22 last year.
As Bush is jailed,
fears there could
EXCLUSIVE BY PAUL JEEVES Crime Editor
ROGUE funeral director Robert Bush is feared to be the “tip of the iceberg” in an unregulated indus- try dealing on trust with bereaved families at their most vulnerable. Bush, 48, was jailed for 20 years yesterday after a court heard he had breached trust “on an almost industrial scale”. He kept bodies for months after they should have been cremated, giving the wrong ashes to relatives and taking money for funeral plans without making any arrangements. He even stole char- ity donations collected at services. In some cases he was mixing up ashes and using a communal store to give to families who asked for their loved ones’ remains from his business, Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull. Lucy Ness, one of four grieving women given the wrong ashes after losing their unborn babies, was told by police that those returned to her by Bush contained what were thought to be animal remains. When fi rst questioned by police, Bush mocked the lack of regula- tion in the business that allowed his crimes to go unchecked.
Now it is feared the loopholes in regulatory governance exposed by the case may have been exploited by other rogue operators. One industry expert has told the Express he is “certain” there will be more cases following a separate independent inquiry into the crimes of David Fuller, who abused at least 100 dead women and girls in hospital mortuaries in the South East of England. There are around 5,800 funeral director branches nationwide, of which around 3,000 are independ- ent businesses. David Knowles, a former senior operations manager at Britain’s biggest provider, Co-op, said: “I defi nitely think there is another Robert Bush out there. I would not be surprised at all if there were many more cases.” Mr Knowles, who now runs an independent funeral directors in Yarm, North Yorks, is urging the government to bring in regulatory licensing as a matter of urgency. He said: “Unbelievably, it would have been harder for me to set up a burger van outside a football sta- dium, with the food hygiene laws and regulatory stipulations, than to start up my funeral director business. Something has to change because at the moment funeral directors run entirely on trust.” Dean Lamble, of Pure Cremation, added: “The majority
of funeral professionals serve fami- lies with compassion, dignity and integrity. However, the few bad actors who do exist encounter no preventative measures or regula- tion, meaning enforcement comes after harm has already been done.” Bush’s victims are among those demanding an independent statu- tory regulator with mandatory licensing for all funeral providers and premises, regular inspections with real enforcement powers, and full transparency over standards and compliance. Prime Minister Andy Burnham
has promised a regulatory body would be on the cards, saying he had been “truly horrifi ed” by the Bush case. He added: “People would assume that the highest standards apply to this area and we’ve got to make sure that they do apply and that there can’t be any repeat of what we’ve seen.” When Bush was arrested in March 2024 he laughed about the lack of regulation, telling police: “We’re a highly unregulated indus- try.” He was caught only after a casual worker tipped off police, who then raided his funeral home
while Bush was on holiday in the US. Offi cers found 35 unburied bodies and over 100 bags of human ashes scattered across the fl oor. Bush was held as he landed at Heathrow, moaning to police: “It’s like I’m Che Guevara or something. I’m not that complicated.” He later admitted: “The whole thing has been a crescendo of poor choices, situations, debt.” Asked why he had not cremated the bodies, he cited cashfl ow issues, adding: “I should have contacted bereavement services and told them what had happened, but then
WHO LET BODIES ROT
be ‘many more cases’
BY PAUL JEEVES
FOUR heartbroken mums whose
babies’ bodies were treated with
callous disregard by “scum of the
earth” Robert Bush have told of
their horror at his sick crimes.
The depraved funeral boss handed
over fake ashes, hoarded bodies and
falsified records.
Lucy Ness, 28, thought her
nightmare could not get any worse
after a miscarriage, until police told
her the ashes she had cherished for
three years were not human.
After losing her baby in 2021,
Bush promised to care for the
remains. Instead, Lucy was given
animal ashes glued shut inside a
white urn. “It’s sickening to think if
my baby was scattered or just
tossed in the bin,” she sobbed.
Katie Woolston, 28, sought his
services after a fourth miscarriage.
She later learned there was no
record of her baby ever being
cremated and fears her child was
dumped in a bin by Bush. Ashes she
was given in a box did not even
belong to her baby.
She demanded: “Where did you put my baby?” When Jasmine Beverley, 40, lost son Sunny she trusted Bush as he had handled her dad’s funeral. She believed her baby was cremated, but two years on, Sunny’s body was found in a bag on a cooler’s floor. She said: “The reality I live with is that my baby boy Sunny spent more time in your possession than he ever did with his own family.” Stacey Foster, 28, lost unborn son Tommy at 17 weeks. She had to chase Legacy for weeks for his ashes. Bush eventually handed over a box, blaming paperwork delays. Suspicious of the weight, Stacey later discovered her baby was not cremated until the day she called a police helpline. Bush had given her a stranger’s ashes, which she turned into memorial jewellery. She said: “He’s the scum of the earth.”
I’d have revealed everything.” His week-long sentencing hearing at Hull crown court heard more than 200 statements from devastated victims, including relatives of 31 people whose bodies should have been cremated and over 50 people given the wrong ashes.
The police probe found that Bush, who along with his wife took a combined £210,000 salary, had also sold fraudulent funeral plans to more than 220 people, pocket-

ing over £500,000 of their life sav- ings in the process. He also failed to pass on donations to 12 chari- ties, including the Salvation Army, Macmillan Cancer Support, Help for Heroes and the RNLI. An investigation into his finances revealed that over seven years Bush blew £42,000 on holidays, £21,000 on motorcycle racing and £17,400 on home improvements. He admitted 30 counts of pre- venting a lawful and decent burial, and theft. He had already admitted 30 counts of fraud by false repre- sentation relating to bodies found
Katie Woolston and ashes she received
at the site, and four “foetus allega- tions” where he presented ashes to women falsely saying they were the remains of their unborn babies. Bush also pleaded guilty to a fur- ther charge of fraud, covering the ashes of 57 people between 2017 and 2024, and one of fraudulent trading relating to funeral plans between 2012 and 2024. Jailing him yesterday Mr Justice Hilliard said: “If the police had not intervened, the practice would have continued.” Relatives said Bush’s sentence was not long enough. Michaela
Baldwin, whose stepfather Danny Middleton’s body was found at Legacy, said he should have been jailed for “at least 30 – one year for each, at least”. She added: “There’s just so much greed in why he’s done this.” Joanne Moody, whose father Peter was one of the bodies found at Legacy, said Bush’s sentence was “atrocious”. She added: “It’s a joke, he’s going to be out in 10 years. There’s no justice for any of us – we’re all still going to be kick- ing around when he gets out.” Karen Dry, who has previously

LOOKING after someone who has died
is one of the most important, most
sensitive jobs there is. Surely someone
is keeping an eye on how it’s done? But
sadly this is not the case.
There are no compulsory
qualifications and no routine
inspections and no national rules about
how the deceased must be looked after
once they are in a funeral director’s
care. That leaves a huge gap between
what families expect and what the law
requires – one it’s time to close.
Vets are regulated, so are
physiotherapists, driving instructors,
estate agents and college lecturers.
But funeral directors are not, and
only need to register a business.
Without any formal training,
qualification or licence, they can then
collect someone who has died from a
hospital, hospice or home, keep them
at their premises, prepare the body,
arrange the service and take the
person to a crematorium or cemetery.
There’s no requirement to keep the
deceased in climate-controlled, chilled
mortuaries, or for someone to rest
peacefully in their own, new coffin right
from the start.
There are well-known trade bodies
such as the NAFD, BIFD and SAIF.
They offer membership and publish
guidance. But they aren’t regulators.
They can’t insist a funeral home has
refrigeration. They can’t force DBS
checks on staff. And they can’t stop
someone trading if things go wrong.
So when families choose a funeral
director they’re trusting someone
whose only legal duty is the same as
any other small business owner.
Most funeral directors are decent,
dedicated people who do this work with
real care.
But regulation, set up in law, should
exist to ensure everyone in a
profession works to a required
standard or above.
said she was unsure if the ashes she received were those of her parents Allan and Betty Griffin when they died separately some years ago, has spoken up for other victims as part of the Hull 35 group. She called on local MPs to demand a public inquiry into Bush’s operation, and has organ- ised a petition calling for stricter regulation of the funeral industry. Ms Dry said: “The current reli- ance on weak codes of conduct completely fails to protect vulnera- ble families during their time of deepest grief and vulnerability.”

PETROL prices are at their highest for more than three- and-a-half years as the impact of the Iran oil crisis continues, fi gures show. The RAC said the average cost of a litre is 160p – compared with 132.8p when the confl ict in the Middle East began on February 28. Prices have risen by 9.4p per litre since July 6, when it was hoped the oil crisis was easing. The last time prices were more expensive than current levels was in November 2022. Diesel prices are at an average of 179p per litre, which is 12.5p below the confl ict high of 191.5p on April 15. RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “The cost of fi lling a family-sized car with unleaded has gone up to £88.” AA’s Luke Bosdet said the increase in the cost of fuel “comes at a very bad time” as more than 20 million UK drivers are expected to embark on journeys next week amid the summer holiday season. He urged drivers to “beat the higher prices” by using price comparison apps powered by the government’s Fuel Finder service. The RAC Foundation estimates rises since the Iran war began have led to UK motorists paying an additional £5.5billion.

to block China’s super-embassy
BY RHIANNON JAMES
CRITICS of China’s super- embassy in London vowed to fi ght on after losing a High Court challenge to the granting of planning permission. Lawyers have begun work to apply for permission to appeal against yesterday’s judgment. The site is opposite the Tower of London, and the Royal Mint Court Residents’ Association argued the embassy’s presence could lead to terror attacks and a crackdown on street protests. Opponents also fear embassy staff will target Chinese dissidents in the UK. They took legal action against the Ministry of Housing and the Borough of Tower Hamlets but both defended the claim, saying they “carefully had regard” to residents’ concerns. The RMCRA, representing residents and fi rms in 100 properties, worried about a fi re risk, as safety obligations would not be enforceable on China due to diplomatic immunity. But after a High Court hearing last month two judges dismissed RMCRA’s challenge. Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel said: “The court’s decision is a clear test for Andy Burnham. Will he put our country’s interests fi rst, stand up to Beijing, protect our national security and do the right thing by ditching this?”

A BRAVERY medal for emergency service workers injured in the line of duty is a step closer to reality in a major boost for the Daily Express’s Honour Our 999 Heroes campaign. The award will go to a panel, the stage that comes before being pre- sented to the King, after a second meeting between campaigners, MPs and policing minister Sarah Jones. A source said ministers are likely to work through some “niggles” over the summer ready for it to be “recommended” to the Honours Committee next month. At present no formal award exists for thousands of injured police and fi re offi cers and paramedics. Some are forced to leave their job because of physical and mental trauma. Many have given this newspaper harrowing accounts of leaving jobs they loved only to end up feeling forgotten and abandoned. The announcement that an award will now be discussed by the com- mittee is a hugely positive sign for tireless campaigners such as former police offi cer Tom Curry. He has been fi ghting for recogni- tion for his injured colleagues for nearly four years. Tom said: “I’m buoyed by the meeting and the minister’s 100% support and the support of the Daily Express and I am confi dent this will happen. “There are thousands of injured former 999 personnel who have no medal or any other recognition to show for their service on days such as Remembrance Day. “We owe them more than that and the national scandal can be corrected, hopefully soon, with a

Andrew Harper died on duty as
he tried to stop a getaway car used
by a gang of thieves in a raid in
Berkshire in 2019.
The proud mum received the
Elizabeth Emblem in 2024, an
award given posthumously to fami-

emergency service personnel.
She said the prospect of an award
being introduced for those injured
on duty had given “renewed hope
that the end goal is fi nally in sight”.
Deborah, whose son’s case has
been in the news due to the possible
early release under the government’s
now-paused scheme of two men con- victed of his manslaughter, added: “I would like to pay tribute to all of the offi cers this would benefi t. “You cannot understate the effects their policing careers have had on the lives of the offi cers and their families. They put themselves
in harm’s way for the protection of others and committed to a career in policing. They deserve recognition. “I have no doubt Andrew would agree and feel strongly that this is an important campaign.” George Cross hero Tony Gledhill, 88, is one of only two living
recipients of the prestigious bravery award. In 1966, PC Gledhill and his partner PC Terry McFall braved a hail of bullets from crooks armed with shotguns and pistols in a car chase through the streets of London. Mr Gledhill said: “It’s wonderful news, I’m so pleased for the cam- paigners. They’ve done a wonderful job. Thank you to the Daily Express for supporting it.” Pam White, 67,

that it is going to go through.” Kris Aves, 45, was paralysed after he was hit by the van used in the Westminster Bridge attack in March 2017. He said: “Receiving the latest news from the crime and policing minister means so much to me and the many other injured 999 personnel. We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel for
this deserved medal recognition. Thanks go to Tom Curry for his perseverance and ‘won’t give up’ attitude.” Shadow policing minister Matt Vickers said the recommendation was “long overdue”, and the award itself was a “no brainer”. He added: “How could anyone say no to Tom? When you hear the stories of the sacrifi ces these
incredible emergency services workers have made it’s diffi cult to say no to this. “You can’t say no, it’s overdue and something they deserve.

LABOUR has been blasted for its “disastrous net-zero dogma” after BP put its North Sea business up for sale. The Conservatives warned that it must be a “wake-up call” as the energy giant looks to end 60 years of production in the basin. The party urged Prime Minister Andy Burnham to give the green light to more oil and gas drilling in the region. But asked for his reaction to the shock sell-off, Mr Burnham was non- committal, saying said he would be “pragmatic” about the future of drill- ing and is looking at a “set of issues”. He said: “Obviously we have decisions looming relating to Jackdaw and Rosebank [gas and oil fi elds], and there are issues related to the energy profi ts levy. “I’ll be pragmatic about the North Sea. When people are struggling and when we need to help people, you can’t ignore the resources that you’ve got but we’ll make further decisions in due course.” He added: “The question isn’t whether Britain will be using oil and gas, the question is where

does it come from?” Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffi th said: “This is a deadly serious wake-up call. “Britain needs to compete – for energy, capital and talent – but the government carries on regulating, putting up taxes and deterring investment. Labour simply don’t understand business.”
Shadow energy minister Andrew Bowie added: “BP has been drilling in British waters for six decades but because of Labour’s disastrous net- zero dogma it faces extinction. “Andy Burnham should break with the past, do what the Conservatives have called for and immediately approve the Jackdaw and Rosebank sites and cancel their plans to ban new licences in the North Sea.

JEWISH groups said they are “very sad and very concerned” after Diane Abbott was let back into the Labour Party. The veteran MP was suspended last July in an antisemitism row after repeating comments about Jewish people that she had previously apologised for. Ms Abbott, 72, was fi rst stripped of the Labour whip in 2023 after a letter to a newspaper in which she suggested that Jewish, Irish and Traveller people experience prejudice, but not racism. The Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP later apologised and was readmitted to the party, but was kicked out again when she defended the remarks and insisted she did not regret
Britain’s failed energy strategy”, which has made the UK “one of the least attractive places to invest in oil and gas”. He added: “The North Sea still has billions of barrels of oil and gas left to produce but for some bizarre reason this government prefers to import our energy from abroad.” BP said the shock decision is part of its strategy to slim down the group by selling off parts of the business. BP’s American chief executive Meg O’Neill, who joined the fi rm in April, said she believes the North Sea busi- ness would be “better positioned as part of another company”. The announcement comes after Mr Burnham hinted at future North Sea drilling as he confi rmed he told US President Donald Trump “we can’t ignore” the resources it holds in their fi rst phone call. However, Labour’s 2024 manifesto pledged the party would

Phil Rosenberg, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: “I’m sad because, in many ways, Diane Abbott is an icon – the longest-serving female MP, the fi rst black female MP, Mother of the House. “And so you’d hope that we would fi nd common cause in fi ghting racism in all its diff erent guises. “But over and over again, she’s making these statements that are off ensive to the Jewish community at a time when there is heightened antisemitism, deadly antisemitism.” The Jewish Leadership Council added: “Diane Abbott was suspended

They produced some 117,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2025. Some 1,100 staff work for the North Sea business, part of BP’s almost 14,000-strong UK workforce. Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst for fi ntech fi rm IG, described the sell-off decision as a “watershed moment”. He said: “It says a lot when BP isn’t prepared to stick around to see if the government can re-energise the UK’s energy policy.” Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh, who took over from controversial net-zero fanatic Ed Miliband last month, said: “I’m in close contact with BP and have made clear that my priority is ensuring the workers and local community are pro- tected during this sale process.”
Andrew Griffi th called BP sale a ‘wake-up call’
from the Labour Party after she doubled down on remarks she had previously apologised for. Her comments downplayed the seriousness of racism against Jewish people.” It added that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham “must explain how returning the whip to Diane Abbott is consistent with his zero tolerance approach to antisemitism”. In a statement, Ms Abbott said: “I have been and remain a lifelong anti- racist and remain deeply committed to opposing racism in all its forms.” It is understood her readmission followed formal Labour Party processes and was not linked to Mr Burnham becoming party leader.
green light for puberty blocker trial
BY CALLUM PARKE
A CLINICAL trial of puberty blockers in teenagers will go ahead after a legal challenge by campaigners was thrown out by a High Court judge yesterday. The Pathways trial will see 220 children with gender incongruence receive puberty suppressing hormones. It follows a review that found there was not enough evidence on the use of puberty blockers for clinicians and families to make informed decisions. Bayswater Support Group – made up of parents of children who identify as trans or non-binary – and campaigners sought to bring legal action against the Health Research Authority and the Department of Health over the trial, but this was dismissed in court. Summarising, Mr Justice Chamberlain said: “The trial was commissioned by NHS England and designed by its co-sponsors with conspicuous care, in consultation with other expert bodies. “The participants will be children with persistent gender incongruence who are receiving treatment from specialist services. “Each child will have been assessed over many months by specialist doctors. In each case, the treating team will have formed the opinion that the child has a reasonable prospect of receiving a clinical benefi t.”
Budget date
JOHN Healey will deliver his fi rst Budget as Chancellor on October 28, pledging to move “money and power out of Westminster”. Confi rming the date yesterday, Mr Healey promised his Budget would be “built on fi scal discipline” and “give businesses and families some of the stability they need to plan for the future”. However Mr Healey faces major challenges to fi nd more money for PM Andy Burnham’s devolution priorities and increased defence spending, amid warnings of a further squeeze on public fi nances.

IF THERE’S one thing Gianni Infantino does well, it’s annoy people. From ticket prices to a more- than-cosy relationship with Donald Trump, you’d be forgiven for thinking the Fifa president is on a mission to antagonise as many as possible. But as Uefa put it, this time Infantino has “crossed a line” and has done the one thing a president should never do: anger his electorate. Who knew the biggest 2026 World Cup drama would come two weeks after the fi nal? Just when he had gone a couple of days without causing a storm, news broke that Fifa – at least in name, a not-for-profi t organisation – planned to sell parts of its competitions to private investors. It caused uproar in football. That rage doubled when it was confi rmed Fifa would off er nations extra money for signing up to what they call the Fifa Forward Enterprise by mid-September. Uefa was the fi rst to hit back. The governing body for European football, at odds with Fifa for some time, ripped Infantino’s private equity stunt to shreds. After an emergency meeting with all its 55 nations, it committed to boycotting future competitions if the plans were pushed through.
“
Concacaf, the North, Central American and Caribbean confederation, stopped short of a boycott but said it opposed the scheme. Asia followed, so the plan appears dead in the water... But, given a rather impressive record of failing to read the room and/or just not particularly caring about public perception, would it be a surprise if Infantino continues to push it through? It’s a move from the Trump playbook, and we know just how much he admires the US president. Despite opposition from Uefa nations about his candidacy, he has always commanded considerable support from the Global South. But after a World Cup where fans from certain countries were banned from entering two host nations, where one side was prevented from staying in the US after matches due to security concerns, his credit is starting to run low. Infantino took a leap of faith in the investment plan, assuming those who backed him in the past would cushion his fall. But they saw right through it. Not only are the proposals hanging by a thread, so is Infantino’s presidency. A dead man walking.
wrong man to lead Fifa
ANDY Burnham has said Gianni Infantino is the wrong man to be leading Fifa after the football boss’s senior adviser resigned over his World Cup “sell-out”. The PM called the plan to sell a stake in the tournament to private investors an out- rageous idea. The world’s governing body is in melt- down, but Infantino refused to back down and asked football associations to back his plan by September 19. Infantino has launched a consultation to set up a separate $20billion company to run its competitions, which will be called Fifa Forward Enterprise. Carlos Cordeiro, one of his senior advis-
BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG and PHIL CARDY
ers, resigned in protest at the plans. Asked if he thought Infantino should follow his adviser out of the door, Mr Burnham said: “My view is strengthening – this was an outrageous suggestion. The idea that it could even be brought for- ward, in my view, shows that the Fifa [president] is the wrong man to lead the organisation.” Mr Burnham is the fi rst leader of a major country to call Infantino’s position into question. European FAs have
already threatened to boycott future Fifa tournaments while US Soccer chief Cordeiro resigned saying Infantino’s plan was “a bad deal for football”. Cordeiro’s resignation came after the Asian Football Confederation said it “stands in solidarity” with its counterparts in Europe and North, Central America and the Caribbean. However, Fifa insisted: “Nobody is selling football. This is not something Fifa would ever entertain.” The
AFC’s statement means Infantino’s plans are unlikely to be approved by Fifa mem- bers. He would need 106 out of 211 votes and the AFC, Concacaf and Uefa have a total of 136 members. Cordeiro had been a Fifa senior adviser for nearly fi ve years, and was on the White House taskforce for this year’s World Cup, which was won by Spain. The former investment banker with Goldman Sachs said: “Fifa’s responsibility is not to maximise commercial returns at any cost. It is to protect and strengthen football for future generations. “When those principles come into con- fl ict, football must come fi rst.”

BIG READ
2025 2024
ANDY Burnham just couldn’t help himself. He had to utter the fateful words that could become a millstone for his time in Downing Street. The Prime Minister said Labour’s plan to end the Channel migrant crisis was working. Then in the 24 hours that followed, 752 migrants arrived, in a record for this year. Meanwhile, as around 100 migrants tried to board a “taxi boat” on the French shore, a gendarme claimed “our orders are to let them go”. And, tragically, four people died trying to cross the Channel on Thursday. So what exactly is work- ing, Prime Minister? The answers – and contradictions – to that question lie in a report by Border Security Commander Duncan Capps to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. It revealed too few migrants have been deported back to France under the one-in-one-out deal – put in place by Mr Burnham’s predecessor Sir Keir Starmer and Ms Mahmood – for it to be having a signifi cant impact on the Channel crisis. Mr Capps told the Home Secretary in his annual report: “Evaluation of the pilot is in progress and it is too early to see signifi cant impacts on migrant/organised crime group intent as the trial is still scaling up.” This assessment is a blow as it is a critical part of the plan. But intelligence offi cials believe they have “degraded” the smuggling gangs’ capability.

Devastating
Joint operations between Britain and France have led to the arrests of 48 “organised immigration crime facilitators” – many of whom, Mr Capps said, “performed critical roles in organising boat departures or supplying boats and engines”. Increased patrols in Dunkirk and Calais have led to kingpins adopting a “just-in-time” production line with boats and engines moved from warehouses, often in Germany, to the French coast in a matter of hours. The gangs are more reliant than ever on “taxi boats” – or mega- dinghies – to make the “most of available supplies”. This played out to devas- tating effect in the 36 hours after Mr Burnham’s claim. An African migrant died after travelling for 16 hours in a dinghy along the French coast, cover- ing 124 miles from Saint-Aubin-sur- Mer, north of Caen, before 100 people tried to board it between Hardelot and Dannes, just south of Boulogne. An Afghan smuggling kingpin told the Daily Express that crack- downs will fail because “demand is too high”. He said: “Demand is increasing. People are leaving their countries. They would like to go to
safer countries. This is our business.”
Afghan Haji Ajmal added: “When demand is high, of course we will take the risk. “There are a lot of people, especially from Afghanistan, who would like to come to Europe. “They would like to go to the UK... because there are reports that there is very good hospital- ity from the UK, including hotels.” The Home Offi ce responded to the crisis
this week citing a “record” number of returns of small boat migrants. In the year to June, 2,750 Channel arrivals were removed. But, as the Daily Express revealed, very few of these were deported to the countries which make up the biggest cohorts crossing the Channel.
A total of 96,002 asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Eritrea arrived in small boats between 2018 and 2025. But only 495 – just 0.5% of that number – have been sent back to these countries in seven years. More small boat migrants have
been returned to Ireland – 57 – than Syria (55) and Afghanistan (16). This is because Labour is now also increasingly reliant on France to not only stop migrants crossing the Channel but to take back those who have “historically been very diffi cult to return”. But, for all the talk of increasing removals, tens of thousands are unlikely to ever be deported. Research by the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford revealed 27,422 Afghans have crossed the Channel, along with 19,154 Eritreans, 30,269 Iranians, 19,157 Iraqis and 14,744 Syrians between 2018 and 2025. It highlights how reliant the UK currently is on other countries to
control our own borders. Mr Capps told Ms Mahmood: “The UK’s ability to facilitate returns is highly dependent on external factors, including partner willingness to co-operate on returns, and many of those who arrive on small boats are from unsafe countries and cannot be returned under international law even if unsuccessful in their claim for asylum.” This is why so much of the debate often focuses on Britain’s membership of the European Convention on Human Rights – a point highlighted again by Tory leader Kemi Badenoch this week. Mr Burnham said crossings are down 42% on last year. But a crucial part of Labour’s plan is to
reduce demand to the UK. Migrants will be forced to pay back their hotel costs and they face a much longer wait for settlement rights if they are granted refuge.
Ms Mahmood has told asylum offi cials that “no weight” should be given to Article 8 claims under the ECHR about the right to a family life when a family unit was estab- lished while they did not have the legal right to be in the UK. Ms Mahmood said it is right that “once people can contribute and repay the generosity of the British people, we expect them to do so”. Under the current plans, they are
expected to pay around £10,000, as the Home Offi ce wants to slash the £4billion-a-year asylum bill. But this week’s chaos shows thousands are still willing to risk their lives to cross the Channel. And until illegal migrants know they won’t be able to remain in Britain, the smugglers will keep offering them routes in. Criminals who let a man sit in a dinghy for 16 hours, only for him to die, won’t stop because of extra police patrols. The way to crush the smuggling trade is to remove the people for the gangs to traffi c. Only then can Mr Burnham truly claim the plan is working. Until then, it’s a case of attempt- ing to limit the damage.

Tel: 020 8612 7000 (outside UK: +44 20 8612 7000) Moroccan migrant surge shows weak border peril S
HOCKING scenes of 60,000 migrants illegally entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta have woken up European leaders to the realities of weak borders. The men, women and children arrived in the city in just 24 hours, many swimming wearing rubber rings more typically used for holidays. Ceuta, separated from mainland Spain by the Strait of Gibraltar, has become a target destination for migrants who hope to eventually reach Europe. Residents of the territory have been left terrifi ed, with the population of 80,000 barely outnumbering the arrivals from Morocco. The infl ux was apparently encouraged by a Spanish supreme court ruling that arriving by water meant migrants could not be immediately returned to their home country. Italy’s Giorgia Meloni wants Spain suspended from the Schengen free travel zone and is being backed by Finland. France, meanwhile, has strengthened controls at its border with Spain. Spanish premier Pedro Sanchez has peddled an open-door policy for a while, offering more than one million illegal migrants an amnesty. But the socialist’s generosity has ramifi cations for the rest of the bloc and this latest infl ux has unsurprisingly sparked alarm across the EU. Britain was right to stay out of Schengen and leaving the bloc means we are not part of its asylum seeker quota scheme. But illegal migrants that make it to mainland Europe are free to head to France, where they can attempt to cross in small boats. This may be a Spanish crisis today but it will be one that its neighbours, and ultimately the UK, will be left facing in the months to come. 999 medal a step closer F
EW are brave enough to put their lives on the line day in, day out, as our emergency services do. Every 999 call brings with it the potential for risk for the police offi cers, fi refi ghters and paramedics who respond. So it is astonishing that there has not been a medal to recognise those who are injured in the line of duty. Now, the Daily Express’s Honour Our 999 Heroes campaign, with campaigners such as former police offi cer Tom Curry, are close to righting that wrong. Thousands are forced to leave their jobs over physical and mental trauma following injuries in service, and many feel abandoned. But an award will go before the Honours Committee and it is expected to view it positively. It is welcome news to many, including Deborah Adlam whose son PC Andrew Harper died trying to stop a getaway car used by thieves. More than most, she understands the devastation that can come from what starts as just an ordinary day on shift. We hope these brave men and women will fi nally be recognised in the way they deserve.

Time to make some
tough decisions, not friends, Andy! not friends, Andy!
NDY Burnham is not
hanging around. Since
entering
No10
less
than a fortnight ago he
has made a blitz of
announcements – all
revealed in the form of slick
social media videos seemingly
designed to remind voters how
much more affable and authen-
tic our new Prime Minister is
compared to the last one.
The cost of these announce-
ments is racking up – the aboli-
tion of VAT on electricity bills
will cost £850million, bringing
back the £2 bus fare cap will be
more
than
£500m,
ending
rough sleeping comes in at
£340m, while the 20% reduc-
tion in business rates for pubs
and clubs is another £100m.
And all this excludes the huge
costs of the proposed National
Care Service, more council
house building and increasing
defence spending to 3.5% of
GDP by 2035.
Whether you think the ideas
good or bad – and I would say
it’s a mixed bag – the problem is
announcing new policies is the
easy bit.
Deciding where the money
will come from is where the dif-
fi culty lies.
So far, Burnham has largely
dodged that question.
We will have to wait until the
Budget in the autumn to get the
full picture of how he is going
to balance the books.
But we already have some
clues – to fund the massively
costly reforms to social care
that he is exploring, Whitehall
offi cials have worked up plans
for a new 1.8% income tax.
Something has to give. State
spending is spiralling out of
control. In June alone, interest
payments on government debt
were £11.8billion – that is
£16.4m every hour.

number of working-age people claiming disability benefi ts having skyrocketed since the pandemic – from 2.8 million to almost four million. Reversing this is what Burnham needs to be talking about if he wants to reassure the fi nancial markets that the UK is not an international basket case that is heading towards a debt crisis. And yet Burnham’s plans to tackle young unemployment involve even more benefi ts – to the tune of £4,500 a year – which will be given to parents on Universal Credit if their chil- dren become apprentices. The new PM has rejected “crude” cuts to disability bene- fi ts or specifi c reductions in PIP entitlement, despite the fact mental health is the largest cat- egory of claims and more than half a million people now receive the payments for anxi-

ety. Amid all this, Burnham supports bringing spending on foreign aid back up to 0.7% of GDP, costing £14bn more a year. It feels our generosity is being abused when recipients like Pakistan – a nuclear power with its own space programme – are unwilling, in return for our aid, to even take back their own people like Rochdale grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed, who we are currently trying and failing to deport. “To govern is to choose,” as the saying goes. Burnham is giving off the strong impression of being a people-pleaser, a man who likes being liked a lit- tle too much. As PM you must be willing to make diffi cult choices – and, unlike in his previous gig as Manchester mayor, he now has responsibility for not just spending money but raising it
too. He should not be taking even more from working people when the tax burden is at its highest level in over 70 years. And while it is tempting to squeeze the rich, the reality is there are fewer and fewer really wealthy people to target. W
E learnt this week the total number of millionaires in the UK has fallen to its lowest level since the 2008 fi nancial crisis, with 442,000 millionaires in 2025, down from more than one million in 2021. The rich are leaving, taking their poten- tial tax revenues with them. Burnham cannot afford to keep on spending like a drunken sailor without deciding where the money is going to come from. And that will require him to stop trying to be friends with everyone and instead get tough with those who continue to believe in a magic money tree.

ANYONE worried that our new PM is spending money like a man with no arms, is right to be. The King of the North is a car crash with cash having left Manchester £1.34billion in debt – giving the region the highest debt level of any combined authority in England. And in his first week as PM, he’s already spent £1.67billion. Throw in the £19billion planned for social care and God knows how much more for prisons, immigration, welfare etc, and he’ll soon be begging the IMF for a bailout. ■

EMI Badenoch’s right on a lot of stuff but never more so than when she said this coun- try’s lunatic net zero policies will bankrupt Britain. She calls them “political fiction”. And we all know the author of that fiction – crazed climate change loon Ed Miliband who thank God has now been relieved of his “bankrupting Britain” duties. With Miliband gone Andy Burnham has now said he’ll allow more North Sea drill- ing and experts have predicted that alone could generate £25billion in extra tax over the next decade and support thou- sands of jobs. But isn’t it time we just ditched all net zero targets and the Green energy subsidies because they’re useless and self-defeating? Miliband promised us his maniacal poli- cies would slash £300 off our energy bills – instead they rocketed and now our elec- tricity prices are among the highest in the developed world. Miliband could never quite grasp that even if we achieved all his net zero targets it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference to global warming. We’ve already lost that war and trying to ban towel rails and tum- ble dryers is like putting an Elastoplast on a burst dam. As is his insistence that we all drive electric cars, have £14,000 boilers and kill all the farting cows. It’s fantas- tical nonsense to think any of that will halt global warming. Yes, cli- mate change is real but there’s absolutely beggar-all Britain can do about it. We produce just 0.8% of global emissions while China produces 32% and pumps out more CO2 now than it did 20 years ago. Yes, Britain has cut its emissions by 44% in the last 20 years, but it’s made beggar-all difference. We’re still facing a drought; there have been three so-called heatwaves so far this summer here and in Europe. And while the climate change harpies are rushing to blame the spate of wildfires
AT 84, Paul McCartney has made the 12-strong shortlist for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize along with Olivia Dean and Raye. Those who’ve heard Macca sing recently will know he sounds like a cat with tonsillitis. So, I can’t help thinking this is one of those “Give it to The Old Boy Before He Falls Off His Perch” awards.
it isn’t. And the reason arrivals have been down (which Burnham boasted was thanks to Labour) is because of recent rough weather. Now that’s changed and 1,600 came in the past 10 days, making 14,128 this year. It’s time Andy Burnham stopped talking about his silly vanity projects like No 10 North and concentrated on Brits’ number one concern
THE MUCH respected Baroness Casey said this week that Britain’s welfare state is so lax even she’d qualify for benefits. “Seventeen million classed as disabled? I just don’t buy it,” she said. The question is, does Burnham have the guts to cut welfare instead of taxing hard- working people to hell and back?
on climate change, the Global Wildfire Information System says this year’s wild- fires have been the LOWEST since records began in 2012. The bottom line is “climate change” is the go-to excuse for politicians every- where who haven’t taken the proper measures to prevent wildfires. Ditto those water companies who have imposed hosepipe bans which have got nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with ancient, leaky sys- tems which leak a TRILLION litres of water a year. What our politicians should be doing for us – but more importantly for the econ- omy – is helping this country adapt to hot- ter weather. Operations in hospitals are currently being cancelled, as are vital blood tests, because of loony net-zero guidance on air-conditioning units. That’s madness! So, we let people die because the idiot Miliband puts net zero restric- tions on air-con? We also need to put air-con in all new flats and houses. We need to look after our fields and forests to reduce the risk of fires and we must ditch all the green energy subsidies – which add 12% to every energy bill. Britain can’t fix global warming – what- ever we do. And for those people who say we should forget what the rest of the world is doing and at least try – that’s stu- pid. Because we have to judge our net zero policies on their real-world impact and consequences. And the fact is, our insane, cripplingly expensive, nonsensical policies are having no global impact what- soever because whatever we do is imme- diately wiped out by what China does – but they’re crippling our economy. Many countries are following sensible, properly paced CO2 reduction policies which is the way to go but our mad rush to net zero has to stop. But although the madman Miliband has gone, he’s been replaced by an even big- ger eco-zealot called Miatta Fahnbulleh, so the lunacy will continue.
– out-of-control illegal immigration. Sticking his head in the sand when the going got tough might have worked in Manchester but it sure as hell won’t work now he’s PM. The fact he doesn’t even want to talk immigration shows his cowardice and that he has no clue what to do about it. He could start by demanding our money back from Macron.
10k race and climbed scaffolding
Scott claimed over £7,600
A BENEFITS cheat who claimed he was “too weak” to even lift a phone was caught running a 10k race and climbing scaffolding. Ryan Scott, 39, had been claiming disability benefi ts after telling the authorities a workplace accident left him so immobile he could not carry out basic tasks. But a tip-off led investigators to uncover photos of him completing a 10k race and bank records showing he had returned to plastering work. Scott, of Torquay, Devon, was fi lmed climbing ladders, carrying heavy gear

He was sentenced on Thursday to a 15-day community order and must pay a fi ne, costs and victim surcharge totalling £360. Scott told the court he had not been in a good place at the time, adding: “I’d like to apologise for any trouble I’ve caused.” He is repaying the money.

THE ENGLISH Channel is turning into quite the shooting gallery, isn’t it? Hard on the heels of a Russian warship loosing off its guns close to Plymouth, this week Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp was startled by a rapid fusillade from a nearby French naval vessel as he bobbed about on a boat two miles off the French coast near Cap Gris-Nez. It wasn’t quite the boom of cannon. This was a French officer “test-firing” his sidearm: 17 “crack-crack-cracks” clearly audible as Philp recorded a BBC TV interview about the latest wave of small boats bringing illegal immigrants to England. He took it extremely personally. “It was a deliberate attempt to intimidate me,” he complained to anyone who’d listen afterwards. Nonsense, was the dismissive French response. You could almost see the Gallic shrug of contempt as a naval spokesman said all test-firing protocols and warnings had been followed to the letter. I must say, I find it hard to imagine someone on the bridge
A STRING of polls seems to show that most people in the UK are
not prepared to fight, let alone die, for their country. A YouGov
survey for July showed only 6% would volunteer to take up arms
if an invasion – presumably launched by Russia – took place.
Only two months ago, a University of Glasgow poll of Generation Z
revealed that 50% of young people aged between 16 and 29 would
refuse point-blank to defend these shores.
Of course, this has echoes of the famous Oxford Union debate in
1933 on the motion: “That this house will under no circumstances fight
for its King and country.” It passed with a stonking majority. Six years
later, the flower of British youth was queuing up to take Hitler on.
I agree with Sunday Times columnist Charlotte Ivers, who wrote
amusingly this week that such polls are really asking: “Are you having
a sulk and would you like to take the opportunity to express that sulk
in public?” Genuine existential threats tend to strip all that
self-satisfying fluff away. Look at Ukraine.
of the French warship staring at
the other boat (several hundred
yards away) through binoculars
and exclaiming: “Zut alors! Mon
dieu! C’est Msr. Philp, le ‘shadow’
secretaire de maison! TIRER!!!”
I mean, really.
What Mr Philp should have got
worked up about – and to be fair,
did, once he’d told his exciting
story to everyone who’d listen –
was not so much the pop-pop of a
distant pistol but the putt-putt of
yet another incoming rubber boat
laden with would-be asylum
seekers. More than 700 migrants
are thought to have tracked across
the Channel the day after Mr
Philp’s brush with the French Navy.
And that, just 24 hours after
Andy Burnham claimed the
plan to stop the small boats “is
working”. Perhaps he’s technically
and literally correct – one of the
boats this week was huge, the
largest yet, hundreds of men,
women and children crammed on
board. Not a small boat by any
stretch of the imagination.
Maybe the time’s come for
Burnham to pledge to stop the
BIG boats. He really must keep up.

BRITAIN’S BEST-LOVED HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM REFLECT ON THE WEEK’S EVENTS EVERY SATURDAY IN YOUR DAILY EXPRESS
Lock ’em up, weld cell door shut
“YOU can’t force people to care what happens to scumbags.” “Uhh?” I looked up from my pavement cafe table. It was a bus driver, briefl y halted at a pedestrian crossing, hailing me through his open window. “I said you can’t force ordinary decent people to care about what happens to some toerag who has gone to prison. Quote me when you next interview some government geezer about it, Rich. “We’ve had enough. We don’t give a toss if prisons are overcrowded. Chuck in an extra blanket and let them get on with it. Just don’t let the b**s out early.” The lights changed, he gave me a cheerful wave and pulled away. Now. Here’s what’s interesting about this brief exchange in north London earlier this week. Its general sentiment almost exactly mirrors the views I heard expressed two months ago and 5,000 miles away on the streets of El Salvador. There, the country’s spanking new supermax CECOT prison holds thousands of killers, kidnappers and rapists in unbelievably harsh (if spotless) conditions. One hundred men to a cell. Locked in for 23 and a half hours a day. No possessions of any kind allowed – no books, magazines, screens, games. Zilch. Lights kept burning bright 24/7. CECOT breaches human rights, no question. But you know what? The good people of El Salvador (and they ARE good people; warm, welcoming, kind and clever) couldn’t give a damn. Why? Because they were pushed too far. For years the criminal gangs, now incarcerated for
THERE’S no doubt that Kemi Badenoch is starting to reach parts other Conservative leaders never did. This week it emerged that Dame Maureen Lipman, a staunch Labour supporter for fi ve decades until she became disenchanted during the Ed Miliband leadership, might become a fi rst-time Tory voter. Why? Kemi. “She speaks beautifully,” Maureen says. “She’s attractive, she’s thoughtful, she’s intelligent... I like her. I’d have to think carefully with my pencil hovering over a blue thing. But I really like her.” Who will Kemi convert next? George Galloway? Jeremy Corbyn? (Oh, c’mon. A woman can dream, can’t she?)
El on earth, the notoriously brutal supermax CECOT prison in El Salvador
life in CECOT, held the whip hand and terrorised the country. Now the boot is on the other foot and ordinary law-abiding El Salvadorians LOVE it. They revel in their revenge. Obviously we don’t have anything like the level of sadistic criminality that plagued the tiny Central American country for decades, but decent people here are running out of patience with the way in which our own criminal sub-class seems to be evading the consequences of their actions. This week on GMB Kate Garraway and I interviewed London delivery driver turned pickpocket hunter, Diego Galdino. This remarkable young man grew sick and tired of seeing pickpockets operating with impunity in crime hotspots such as Oxford Street and outside
Buckingham Palace. So he gave up his job and now patrols the streets, making perfectly legal citizen’s arrests whenever he spots a “dipper” at work. He sprays them with red paint, returns the stolen valuables to their astonished (and deeply grateful) owners, and calls the police. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, wants him to stop. He’s described Galdino as a vigilante. But Khan is way out of step with public opinion. More than 90% of the calls we got from viewers gave Galdino full backing: many called for him to get a medal. This is what happens when decent people perceive that criminals are “getting away with it”. They either take the law into their own hands, or they thirst for revenge. Both have started to happen here. ANDY SAYS IT LIKE HE MEANS IT
I SPEAK as I fi nd, and I must say I was quite seriously impressed by Andy Burnham’s off-the-cuff speech on Wednesday on tackling Britain’s care crisis. I heard the whole thing live on my car radio as I drove home from the breakfast show, and at the beginning I was fully prepared for another “I’m just a regular Manc bloke” piece of hokum. I was wrong, and I apologise, Mr Burnham. You spoke powerfully, movingly, stirringly, and wisely. True, our new PM did not say how the staggeringly high cost of care will be met. I suspect that like most who peer at this mountain in our midst, he’s not sure what the right route to the top is. But I liked his decision to insist that the results of the independent inquiry into care be delivered a full year early. That had echoes of Churchill’s “action this day” approach. (Never thought I’d write that about “our Andy”). I also liked his obvious sincerity and determination to bring opposition parties into the heart of the decision- making. “We HAVE to listen to each other,” he kept saying. I think he means it. I’m a cynical old hack but as I say, I speak as I fi nd. And I found Burnham convincing and thoughtful – and willing to grasp a particularly painful nettle with both hands. Good on him.
adults now in a marriage
BY IAN JONES
THE proportion of people either married or in a civil partnership has fallen in the past decade to around 50%. And the proportion of people who have never married or been civil partnered is on the rise. There has also been a steady increase of people in same-sex marriages, who now account for nearly one in 100 of all in wedlock. The fi gures for England and Wales, from the Offi ce for National Statistics, are for 2025 and the fi rst to refl ect the marital status solely for people aged 18 and over. Previous data covered over-16s but a law change which took effect in 2023 raised the minimum age to 18. Figures show 51.1% of adults in 2025 were either married or civil partnered, down from 52.3% in 2015. Those who had never been in some sort of state-sanctioned union rose from 32.6% to 34.9% in 2025. Some 3.9 million were divorced and 3 million were widowed. Betfred axes 600 staff and closes shops
BY HENRY SAKER-CLARK
BETFRED is shutting 132 shops and cutting more than 600 jobs, blaming higher taxes and economic uncertainty. The closures, from September, will leave the gambling fi rm with around 1,100 UK outlets. A consultation on the job losses has been launched. The Warrington-based fi rm was founded by brothers Fred and Peter Done in 1967. They have an estimated wealth of £3.61bn. Chief executive Jo Whittaker said: “The combined impact of higher employer national insurance contributions, wage infl ation, increases in gambling taxes and wider economic uncertainty has left us with no choice. “Our priority now is to support the colleagues affected.” In January, William Hill and 888 owner Evoke confi rmed around 270 betting shop closures and cost cuts. And last October Paddy Power revealed plans to shut 57 shops across the UK and Ireland.
with prison staff attacks
DANCE class killer Axel Rudakubana is to face court accused of attacking prison staff while in HMP Belmarsh. The 19-year-old knifeman murdered Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, Bebe King, six, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, and also wounded eight children plus two adults in Southport, Merseyside, on July 29, 2024. He was sentenced to a minimum 52 years in jail at Liverpool crown court in January last year.
Manipulate
But the girls’ families reacted with fury last week when the Ministry of Justice confi rmed Rudakubana had been moved from a high-security jail to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital. Chris Walker is a lawyer for the bereaved families and said they “don’t believe the merits” of his transfer over a mental health issue and suspect it is a bid to “manipulate the system”. Now the Met Police has revealed Rudakubana has been charged with
BY CHRIS RICHES
attacking three staff before his move from Belmarsh, South East London. He is accused of assaulting an emer- gency worker on May 6, attempted grievous bodily harm on May 8, hav- ing an offensive weapon in jail on June 26, and assault on an emergency worker on October 28 – all in 2025. In May last year it was alleged that Rudakubana had poured boiling water from a kettle on a prison offi cer. He was in the same secure unit at Belmarsh as Manchester Arena terror- ist Hashem Abedi who allegedly assaulted prison offi cers in HMP Frankland, Co Durham, in April 2025. The Met said Rudakubana is due to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court via video on September 11. Offenders who pose a higher risk and cannot be managed safely in a jail due to mental disorders can be moved to secure psychiatric units, to be treated as patients not prisoners. Broadmoor in Berkshire is the old-

est of the UK’s three high-security hospitals and has held some of the most notorious criminals, including gangster Ronnie Kray and serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper. Under the Mental Health Act, offi - cials acting for the Justice Secretary
have no choice but to accept the advice of clinical professionals to transfer prisoners to a secure facility. An offender in a secure hospital will have to engage with treatment and therapies before any return to jail or release into the community. Where hospital care is no longer needed, the act allows for a swift return to prison. Mr Walker has said of Rudakubana’s transfer: “We do have an evil person but being evil does not mean that you’re suffering psychosis.
“We need to know is this a single event, is this a recurring event, is this him playing the system?” He added that the fact it occurred almost exactly two years since his rampage “is another move by AR who would appear to be attempting...to manipulate the system”. The Prison Offi cers’ Association said Rudakubana was transferred due to a deterioration in his mental health.

Prince Harry. Still, if the Beckhams wished to look as if they were integral parts of the British establishment, it was important that they showed up at all the right events. They were, for instance, guests at both the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton (stately, sombre, formal) and of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (celeb- rity-heavy, slightly surreal) and, famously, David stood in line to pay his regards to the late Elizabeth II, winning kudos for his stoic willingness to spend hours queuing overnight, rather than using his A-list status to bypass the line. Finally, all of his efforts were rewarded, and he was made Sir David last November – this time honoured for services both to sport and charity. The relationship between David and King Charles, in particular, is said to be a warm and close one based on mutual respect. The two even designed a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show earlier this year, and apparently swap tips on beekeep- ing and other horticultural activities together. Yet on a less green- fi ngered note, it’s likely that the two men have bonded over the family diffi culties they face. Just as Prince Harry famously stormed off from the Royal Family in 2020 – a development later nicknamed “Megxit” – so Brooklyn Beckham’s extraordinary series of Instagram stories from January this year, blowing the whole edifi ce of Brand Beckham open for all to see, acquired its own sobriquet of “Beckxit”. In both cases, the departure of the son from the much-loved institution became an international story that led to people taking sides in these uncivil wars. Both Brooklyn and Harry attracted sup- porters who claimed they had been treated unfairly by their families, and detractors who described them as attention-seeking
and ungrateful. Many others noted the infl u- ence of their American wives, in the forms of Nicola Peltz and Meghan, and asked whether they had the same infl uence over their husbands that Wallis Simpson had once wrought over Edward VIII, who abdicated his throne in order to marry her and later become Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Whatever happens, it is inevitable that the family relationships of both the Beckhams and the Windsors will continue to be the subjects of fascination for years to come. Writing a book about the Beckhams that is subtitled “A Royal Affair” might strike some as ridiculous, or even hubristic. After all, the British Royal Family is a long-estab- lished dynasty that has existed for hundreds of years and is bound up with a vast amount of money, power and prestige. The Beckhams, international superstars though they are, have only been famous for a matter of a few decades and, although both David and Victoria are in excellent health, they cannot last forever. Whether their children will continue Brand Beckham in the same way their par- ents have done remains unclear. Brooklyn ostentatiously even changed his name to Peltz Beckham, signifying his loyal- ties to his new American family, and it is rumoured that he and his fellow royal exile Prince Harry have formed a friendship in which they undoubtedly discuss how much they loathe their families. S
TILL, the Beckhams and Windsors alike remain subjects of fascination to everyone from royal watchers to celebrity fans. Their lives are huge ones, lived out on the biggest of canvases. We thrill to the mixture of glamour and scandal that their exploits involve, watch with a mixture of disbelief and amusement at the latest stories and eagerly swap gossip about what they’re really like behind closed doors. The two British royal families – one offi - cial, the other popular – continue to demon- strate what being famous in the 21st century is like, and the similarities between the two clans are far more striking now than the dif- ferences. These royal affairs show no signs of becoming any less interesting any time soon, and we should all be grateful for that.

A ROW has broken out over Naga Munchetty’s plum breakfast presenting job on BBC Radio 5 Live amid claims she has received special treatment. The 51-year-old star was handed the fl ag- ship role after quitting the BBC TV sofa after 17 years. But insiders at the station claim there is “consternation” behind the scenes at 5 Live over the Corporation’s handling of the situa- tion. There is uproar that Munchetty has negotiated a deal to present three days a week in the Salford studio, and two days from London near her Hertfordshire home. It comes as her prospective co-presenter will be expected to do fi ve days a week in Salford. A source said: “Many don’t feel that is particularly fair, and that bosses have afforded her special treatment.” There is also upset that the role wasn’t advertised, unlike that of her co-presenter. The source added: “There is disquiet that the role has been handed to her on a plate, whereas prospective co-presenters will have to battle it out for the job.” The ad for the two-year fi xed term contract confi rms shortlisted candidates will be expected to record pilots, as well as being “fi ve days a week from our Salford studios.”
The source said: “Naga was a shoo-in whereas her co-presenter is expected to jump through various hoops... it doesn’t strike some as particularly fair.” BBC sources told the Mirror that it was not unusual for 5 Live presenters to broadcast from different locations across the UK, and that it was normal for both established presenters to move between programmes and different presenting combinations to be tested. The advert for the “chief presenter” lists a number of attributes needed for the role including a “warm personality with the ability to see the funny side of life”. It comes after Munchetty, one of the Beeb’s highest-paid stars on £365,000, had faced allegations that she had bullied junior staffers. Insiders claim she was accused of humiliating one female colleague and repri- manding an intern for incor- rectly spreading Marmite on her toast. A source said: “The wording of the ad has raised a few eyebrows given all the hoo-ha on
Munchetty has ruffl ed feathers
BBC Breakfast.” Munchetty, who currently hosts a mid-morning talk show on 5 Live, also report- edly received a telling-off from station bosses in 2022 after a “crass, inappropriate and wildly unprofessional” off-air reference to a sex act. Munchetty has ruffl ed feathers on BBC Breakfast in the past in relation to both guests, and her co-stars. Bosses reportedly apologised to Spice Girl Geri Horner over an inter- view in which Munchetty
asked: “Do you not like being interviewed?” She also faced a backlash for joking about weather presenter Carol Kirkwood’s exit say- ing that she was “waiting for the countdown” for her to go.
Munchetty also quipped about Sally Nugent’s new hairstyle saying: “We’re meant to be serious journalists, not trying to look like we’re presenting This Morning.” She has never commented on any of the allegations. However, the Corporation launched a review into the BBC Breakfast claims last year, which is now no longer active. A BBC source said: “The new job for
Naga seems the best result for everyone. It was not a happy ship on Breakfast.” But they added: “However you look at it, hosting BBC Breakfast is a much bigger job than working on 5 Live.” It also comes after a disagreement with BBC Breakfast’s editor Richard Frediani, with Munchetty having reportedly raised concerns about his conduct. He was later cleared of bullying allegations. Munchetty fi rst joined BBC Breakfast in 2009 and from 2014 has co-hosted with Charlie Stayt. Her and her new co-presenter take over the 5 Live breakfast slot next January from Rachel Burden and Rick Edwards who are stepping down in December.

“As disarmament is com- pleted, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilisation Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take respon- sibility for Gaza being safe for its
residents and its neighbours.” But his bold assertions were not entirely matched by realities on the ground, with both sides setting conditions ahead of any movement. Hamas insisted the deal was dependent on Israel “halting the killing and ending its attacks” within Gaza and withdrawing its forces from the territory. Tel Aviv
son failed by care
THE parents of a teenager said he should still be alive after an inquest found “mistakes” in hospital care contributed to his preventable death. Neil and Louise Arrowsmith’s eldest son Isaac, 19, was diagnosed with Haemoglobin Rainier disease, a rare inherited blood disorder that increases the risk of clots, at the age of 18. He collapsed at home on January 2 after weeks of illness including chest pain, breathlessness and coughing up blood. He died from a pulmonary embolus, deep vein thrombosis and Haemoglobin Rainier disease. An inquest later found his death was preventable, concluding he was never referred to Macclesfi eld District General Hospital’s virtual ward team – designed to provide care at home within 48 hours – and that

he should have been admitted to hospital instead, and would likely have survived had he been there when his condition deteriorated. Coroner Victoria Davies has since issued a prevention of future deaths report. When Isaac became ill last December he was diagnosed with pneumonia and discharged without tests to rule out a pulmonary embolism. Dad Neil, 45, of Macclesfi eld, said: “It’s hard not to get angry. “Isaac should still be here with us today and he isn’t because of mistakes in his care.” Dr John Hunter, chief medical offi cer at East Cheshire NHS Trust, said: “We are truly sorry. We have undertaken a review of the areas where we fell short in Isaac’s care.”

VER SINCE he came to prominence in Four Weddings and a Funeral back in 1994, John Hannah hasn’t stopped working. He’s been in more than 70 fi lms and over 40 TV shows, yet the prodigious performer puts his longev- ity down to chance, not talent. “I think I’ve been very lucky,” the 64-year- old actor says. “I don’t think I’m particularly talented or funny, but I think I have a gift for meeting talented and good people who have helped me along the way. For me that’s been the best gift.” He’s probably being too modest. From Sliding Doors to The Mummy, in which he plays Rachel Weisz’s comedic brother, to his brooding incarnation of troubled Edinburgh detective Rebus in the BBC self-titled drama, Hannah has always delivered for viewers – as he’s certain to do again in his latest TV detective drama Benidorm Is Murder, more of which later. The Scottish-born actor’s warm voice is also a delight to listen to even when he’s not on screen, hence why since 2019 he’s nar- rated six series of the BBC travel competi- tion show Race Across The World. Featuring teams of two who must race across a stretch of the world in the fastest time without fl ying, it has reaffi rmed Hannah’s belief in the goodness of human- kind, despite the gloomy news cycle often painting a bleak alternative. “I believe in the goodness of people,” he says. “The world is such a terrible place at the moment, isn’t it? But I inherently believe in the human race, and I think Race Across the World is a really great example of parts of the world where we perceive people have nothing, then you see how generous they are and how open they are to helping others.” Hannah also puts his faith in humanity down to his upbringing in East Kilbride, south of Glasgow, the country’s fi rst new town which had a population of around 70,000 when Hannah came along in the Sixties. “The neighbours were all in and out of each other’s houses all the time,” he recalls, “and I used to call our next-door neighbours Aunt Ellen and Uncle Frank, even though we weren’t related.” Then there was a family trip to a camping site in Blackpool. Hannah’s toolmaker father, also named John, his mother Susan (who worked as a cleaner for Marks & Spencer) and his two elder sisters all piled into the car. “Somewhere along the way, in the Lake District, my dad’s car blew up and we had to pull off into this garage, where they said it was going to take a week to get a new engine part,” Hannah smiles at the memory. “They let us put our tent up next to the garage and they had toilets and showers there, which they also let us use. Basically we had a free week in the Lake District and it was fantastic, in this big tent that had a separate bedding area.” When we meet, Hannah is staying in a luxurious hotel in Monte Carlo with his wife of 30 years, the actress Joanna Roth – whom he met when they were both in a production of Shakespeare’s Measure For Measure and with whom he has two children, 22-year-old fraternal twins Gabriel and Astrid. He’s on the French Riviera for the

2026 Monte-Carlo TV Festival, where he is a VIP guest. Unlike contestants on Race Across The World, he’s not on a tight budget or wondering where he’ll lay his head that night. But Hannah reck- ons he’d be a worthy participant on the celebrity version of the TV travel show, ahead of narrating the forthcoming series. “I think I’d be great at it, actually. Being a man, I don’t need a map and I don’t need to read the man- ual. In fact, my daughter has this expression for when she’s out with me, which is a DUD – Dad’s Unintentional Detour. “I get lost a lot, but then I like get- ting lost because there’s a challenge in fi nding your way back out of things.” A keen runner until a knee injury put paid to that, he says: “In the last 20 years I’ve been doing a lot of cycling post knee surgery and I take my bike with me whenever I work. “It gives me something to do and it keeps me out of trouble, and I get lost all the time. I come to a corner and I turn left or right, and I always fi nd my way back somehow. “It’s kind of a metaphor for life in terms of just trusting it will all be OK.” And life is good right now. In his new detective drama, Benidorm Is Murder, he plays a burned-out ex-policeman named Dennis Govan who is now running a Scottish
pub in the Spanish resort. Dennis is misera- bly “sitting on the sidelines in this bar, not sure what he’s doing” until aspiring actress and British crime show obsessive Rosa, played by Carolina Bécquer, strides into his life and ends up becoming his partner in crime-solving. “It’s brilliantly written and every charac- ter in it has a purpose and a goal,” Hannah says of what lured him in. “It’s a very diffi cult line to walk – to create real people you believe in and all the drama but also fi nd the humour without it being slapstick or broad comic strokes.” H
ANNAH was expecting the Spanish resort to be more raucous. He was housed in a village away from the hustle and bustle and spent his weekends cycling up and down the coast. “And I didn’t go out at night,” he admits. “But whenever you are fi lming anywhere where there are crowds and drink involved, everybody always wants to shout something and get involved. “We were fi lming right on the seafront and I was surprised how respectful they were.” Hannah’s fi rst holiday abroad was at age 19, when he went backpacking around Europe after he handed in his notice as an apprentice electrician. During his free time he’d been part of a repertory theatre club and enjoyed it so
much that, after he returned from his two- week Euro jaunt, he enrolled at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. There he “became a bit pretentious and sat around not talking to any of these flighty drama student types”. He did theatre and a few small TV roles for almost a decade before Four Weddings And A Funeral put him on the map. “I was kind of an overnight success nine years after leav- ing drama school,” he deadpans. Surprisingly, that success irked him. A few
years earlier, he’d missed an audition for a National Theatre production because of an urgent dental appointment. “Then right after Four Weddings came out I was offered a lead role at the National. It was a role which I would never in a million years have been considered for prior to that and that really angered me. It made me cross about how fickle the industry is.” It didn’t put him off acting, though. Hannah’s CV is a vast one, ranging from Sliding Doors and The Mummy franchise on
the big screen and Spartacus: Blood and Sand, its follow-up Gods of the Arena and a 22-episode stint on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on the small one. “Being part of the Marvel uni- verse was exciting,” he says of the latter, “but usually I try to avoid being in anything that runs for too long because if I get bored I imagine the audience are probably getting bored too.” It’s why he left Rebus after only one series to the disappointment of many. Hannah was, he admits, a bit snobby about being in the big-budget Mummy movie and its subsequent sequels. “I’d come from more of a serious back- ground in the theatre and it felt a bit stupid pretending to be a zombie and what have you, but then I saw a test screening in America and the audience went wild. “So when it came to the sequels I was like, ‘I’ll do whatever you want!’” A
FOURTH film in the franchise is currently in development. “Everybody’s coming back,” he says of co-stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, “and there’ll be some surprises in the comebacks as well, but I don’t know what I’m allowed to say yet, so I’d better not say any more.” Hannah now lives in Richmond, after a brief move to the Chilterns in Oxfordshire. “That was such a mistake and we hated it,” he laughs about having to contend with speeding cars and being stuck in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. While there he did, however, get to attend a party hosted by film director Paul Greengrass. “Matt Damon, whom I’d met many years earlier, was there and he remem- bered my name. “I was really impressed by that because I never remember anybody’s names. I walk into a room for an audition, I meet three people and within a minute I don’t remember who’s who.” Another time he was in a New York department store when he spotted Robin Williams. Talk somehow turned to Hannah’s knee injury. “And it was like I’d sud- denly flipped his switch. “He ended up going off on a whole spiel about my knee that lasted for around half an hour. I couldn’t get away from him.” Hannah has lots more stories, apparently, but time is up. I tell him he should write a book. He smiles, then humble to the last, adds: “I should, shouldn’t I? If only I could write!”

hero feared among dead in avalanche
BY MATT NIXSON
A FAMED British mountaineer and former Gurkha is feared dead after a devastating avalanche on one of the world’s tallest mountains. Nirmal Purja, who was born in Nepal and served in the British Army and Royal Marines, was leading a 10-strong expedition in northern Pakistan when the avalanche struck on Thursday. Government offi cials said four bodies were located yesterday on Broad Peak – the world’s 12th highest mountain. Rescuers are continuing to search for the others. The identities of the deceased have not yet been released. The Alpine Club of Pakistan said there had been no contact with any of the climbers since the avalanche. Rescue attempts were under way last night using army heli- copters, but poor weather was hampering the mission. Nirmal, 43, known as Nims and from a Gurkha family, rose to prominence in 2019 when he
Nirmal is missing after avalanche
climbed all 14 of the world’s mountains with peaks above 26,247ft in 189 days – smashing the previous record of nearly eight years. The cold weather warfare specialist of Eastleigh, Hants, was the fi rst Gurkha to climb Everest while serving in the military and took on the 14-peaks challenge to highlight Nepalese Sherpas and raise awareness of climate change and global warming. He had said: “As a Nepali, I hope my climbs put a spotlight
on the talented climbers here.” Nirmal is one of fi ve Nepalese climbers in the missing group, with other mountaineers from Pakistan, Oman, the US and China and one foreign national from an unspecifi ed country. General Sir Gwyn Jenkins, First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, wrote on X: “My thoughts and prayers go out to Nims and his fellow climbers. I know I speak for all of the UK armed forces community in hoping they are found and pull through.” Born in a village in western Nepal, Nirmal joined the elite Brigade of Gurkhas in his teens. In one interview, he recalled that even a pair of fl ip-fl ops were a luxury for him when he was growing up. He served in the military for 16 years, 10 of which were spent in the special forces, and he was awarded an MBE by the Queen in 2018 for his achieve- ments in extreme high-altitude mountaineering. His 2019 challenge was the focus of a Netfl ix documentary, 14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible.

meeting his long-lost family
BY MARK JEFFERIES A NEW series of Long Lost Family on ITV uses DNA and painstaking detec- tive work to reunite two foundlings with family members they lost con- tact with or never met. For David Stevenson, 65, meeting his mother’s family is a deeply mov- ing experience. He says: “To put a name to my mother and a picture, it’s a profound feeling. That is amazing.” The team also locates the mum of newborn Sarah Gray, now 43, who was found inside a Leicester telephone box in June 1983. David is taken back to the apartment block in North West London where he was found – several days old and cold, but well fed – in a corridor in December 1960. He says: “This place is part of my identity, no question. This is where my story starts, so coming back here is emotional.” He was discovered by a police offi cer, but subse- quent questioning of the residents failed to help identify David’s birth par- ents. Adopted by the Stevenson fam- ily, he had a happy childhood in nearby Edgware. A dad of three grown-up sons, David says: “I knew I was a foundling but I had a mum and dad and it wasn’t a problem for me.” He was aware that fi nding his mother could be hard for both of them. The consensus from the police doctor was that I was a result of an unattended birth and that must be a traumatic experience for any woman.” David and his second wife Julie launched a national appeal for information in 2009 but that was to prove fruitless. But through a DNA search, David found he has Dutch and French herit- age. This proved crucial for the LLF team, which found a strong connec- tion to a Dutch family, two of whom, including a woman called Marianne, agreed to take DNA tests. This enabled LLF expert Ariel Bruce to identify David’s birth mother Petra, who died in 2010. Show host Nicky Campbell travels to

the Netherlands to meet with Marianne – David’s aunt and his fi rst cousins Saskia and Bart. None of the family knew that Petra, who conceived David while working as an au pair in Paris, was pregnant and gave up a baby in London. The family were desperately sad that she endured the birth alone, aged 20. Petra grew up in a strict Catholic household where news of her preg- nancy would not have been tolerated. French privacy laws prevent Ariel and the team identifying David’s father. David is moved to learn that after returning to the Netherlands, Petra did not have any more children. He says: “I fi nd that quite sad, not having a family, having given up the one child she did have.” LLF host Davina McCall passes on a letter from Petra’s family in Rot-terdam who took the DNA tests. In the Dutch port city, he has an emo- tional meeting with Marianne, Bart, Saskia and Jan, another cousin. They tell him about Petra, her personal- ity and interests. David says: “One of the most rewarding things... is to hear them talk about her. It’s helped me form an idea of her char- acter. I’m very excited about the future. There was nothing but love from them.” Petra’s sister Marianne says: “She would love you and you would love her.” The other search on next week’s programme is for the birth mother of Sarah, found as a newborn by a woman about to use the phone box. A mum of twins aged three, Sarah said she had a very happy adoption but her start in life was never openly discussed. She says: “I think there’s a time and a place for certain things and I didn’t push it. Whoever left me in a public phone box right next to a bus stop, next to a community cen- tre... they wanted me to be found.” The team fi nds Sarah’s mother who wants any meeting to be off camera. ●Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace, Monday, 9pm ITV and ITVX.

HE FRESH clean taste and zippy acidity of albariño – pronounced “alba-reen-yo” – has made it one of the world’s most popular white wine grapes in recent years. The grapes are tiny with thick skins that means they can thrive in damp climates without succumbing to mould or rot. Native to the Iberian Peninsula, albariño is the star grape of Rías Baixas, located in the Galicia region in north-west Spain. The maritime climate, with sea mists and moderate tempera- tures all year round, makes for ideal growing conditions. In Portugal – where it’s known as alvarinho – it’s the most important grape in the Vinho Verde region, which is cool and humid and renowned for its light, refreshing wines. In most vineyards, the vines are trellised overhead (rather than in rows), and attached by wire on to granite posts, to keep the grapes dry and free from rot. Outside Spain and Portugal, albariño is successfully produced in California, Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay. Typical wines will have aromas of peaches and lemongrass and bright fresh flavours of lemon, lime, grapefruit and ripe stone fruits, a palate-cleansing acidity, and a vein of minerality. Some boast a hint of salinity. Albariño’s citrusy acidity means it pairs well with any kind of seafood. It is also great with lighter meats like pork or veal. Today is World Albariño Day – making it the perfect opportunity to try a glass or two.

of torching family home
BY CHRIS RICHES A BROTHER who blew up the child- hood home he wrongly believed he was being blocked from inheriting has now been jailed. Darren Davies, 55, lived in the four-bedroom bungalow with brother Craig after their parents died in 2024. But he developed a “bizarre idea” he was the victim of a plot to deprive him of his inheritance, a court heard. With three gas cylinders in the £260,000 detached property in the village of Hambleton, Lancs, he poured petrol around it and lit a candle. The resulting explo- sion left just one wall of the house standing. Craig was at work at the time, but Davies was inside the property and amazingly survived with only minor injuries. He told paramedics and fi refi ghters his intention had been to kill himself and “take the house with him”. A witness who had been driving near the house said Davies told him: “My family want the house – if I can’t have it, no one can.” Davies admitted arson and was jailed for four years and four months
at Preston crown court. In a victim statement his brother Craig told the court their parents had made wills which gave the siblings an equal share of the bungalow. He said he had told Davies he wanted to sell the property and “go our separate ways”, but that it would not happen straight away. Craig said: “Darren developed the bizarre idea that there was a secret will signed by my dad in the last few months of his life leaving the house solely to myself. He continually accused me of being part of a plot against him.” Davies, who worked in the music industry touring with bands, was said to have a long history of mental health diffi culties including bipolar disorder. He sent a letter to the judge, apologising to his brother, family and neighbours. Judge Philip Parry took into account his early guilty plea and that his responsibility was “substantially reduced by your mental disorder”.
Davies was given a four-year term

A LOST 18th-century garden has been exposed at Blenheim Palace by the summer heatwave. The prolonged spell of hot, dry weather has revealed the hidden outline of the Oxfordshire stately home’s 300-year-old parterre, offering a glimpse of the formal garden that once graced the grounds. The term parterre refers to an ornamental lawn arranged around fl ower beds, paths and symmetrical patterns. The original parterre was created in 1705 by royal gardener Henry Wise and stretched across the full width of the palace grounds.
Now, the heatwave conditions have uncovered parch marks highlighting the outline of the old garden, which was dismantled in the 1760s. Andy Mills, head gardener at Blenheim Palace, said: “The excessively dry weather has given us a fascinating bird’s-eye view into Blenheim’s past, allowing us to trace the intricate design and scale of the parterre.” Earlier last month, a lost 17th-century Great Parterre was also exposed beneath the parched South Lawn at Chatsworth House, in Derbyshire.

TWO tiny birds carved from mam- moth ivory 40,000 years ago have been discovered in a cave. The thumbnail-sized figurines were unearthed in the famous Hohle Fels cave in southern Germany, where some of the world’s earliest examples of prehistoric art have been found. Despite their size, the carvings con- tain intricate details that could even reveal the species and behav- iour of the birds depicted. The extraordinary find offers a glimpse into the artistic talents of our Ice Age ancestors. Archaeologist Professor Nicholas Conard, of the University of Tubingen, said: “The figurines dem- onstrate that the earliest artists were skilled ivory carvers, who could depict delicate motifs in miniature form.” The two sculptures were discovered last year just 5ft apart in a layer dating back around 40,000 years. One appears to show a bird lying on the ground, possibly brooding

Hohle Fels was occu- pied by early Homo sapiens during the Aurignacian period, when humans produced an extensive explosion of art, jewellery and music. Previous discover- ies include ancient musical instruments and the 41,000-year-old Venus of Hohle Fels, con- sidered Europe’s oldest figurative sculpture. The purpose of the tiny birds remains a mystery. Researchers believe they may have been personal talismans or symbols identifying a particular group.

who was in on the joke
EST known as a member of the comedy trio The Goodies, Bill Oddie was not only one of Britain’s favourite comics, he was also our best-loved birder. Birdwatching was his lifelong passion, so the switch from comedy to presenting nature programmes, including the BBC’s Springwatch, came naturally. But his life was plagued by bouts of acute depression which caused repeated admissions to psychiatric hospitals, with Oddie suffering from severe lithium poisoning as a result. Born in Rochdale, Lancashire, his ancestors on both sides were mill workers but his father Harry trained as an accountant and they moved to Birmingham after he got a job with the Midlands Electricity Board. While Bill later admitted he admired his father’s work ethic, he saw little of his mother Lillian dur- ing his childhood. She had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent much time in hospital. Oddie later discovered her depression had followed the premature deaths of his two older siblings. A keen birdwatcher in childhood, a record of one of his very fi rst observations was preserved in a
Theo Burrell Antiques expert BORN SEPTEMBER 1, 1986 - DIED JULY 8, 2026, AGED 39
A POPULAR ceramics and glass expert, Theo Burell’s life was cut short by a brain tumour. Before she died, Burrell raised tens of thousands of pounds for brain cancer research and was a campaigner for the cause after her diagnosis in 2022. Born in Edinburgh, Burrell joined the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow show in 2018. The TV star was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, and became a patron of Brain Tumour Research. A statement on Burrell’s Instagram said she died peacefully, surrounded by family. It said: “She was an incredible person who fought hard for her family, friends and raising awareness of this cruel disease.” She leaves husband Alex, whom she married in April, and their fi ve-year-old son, Jonah.
Actor and TV presenter BORN JULY 7, 1941 - DIED JULY 25, 2026, AGED 85
West Midlands Bird Club publication in 1956. After leaving school in Birmingham, where he enjoyed playing rugby, he read English at Pembroke College, Cambridge. There, at the famous Footlights club, he met fellow Goodies, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor. They shot to fame in the 1970s on their “trandem” – pedalling about and offering themselves for hire. Amid the slapstick, often fast- motion footage, were a number of comic songs, composed by Oddie, the most successful being “Funky Gibbon”, which reached number four in the UK charts and the trio performed it on Top Of The Pops. In true Oddie style, the track was re-released 40 years later and the profi ts given to a campaign to pre- serve the primate’s habitat. Oddie’s childhood passion for
Graeme
programmes, Oddie popped up on a string of quiz shows, had a part in a Doctor Who episode and enjoyed a lucrative sideline as a voiceover art- ist, having clearly inherited his father’s admired work ethic. Oddie married musician Jean Hart in 1967 and they had two daughters, the actress Kate Hardie, and Bonnie. The couple later divorced and in 1983, he married children’s writer Laura Beaumont and they had a daughter Rosie, all of whom survive him. Took Chelsea back to top-fl ight
HE dreamed of a career as a
professional footballer but a club
foot, which required fi ve operations
in his childhood, put paid to that.
Instead, Ken Bates was to become
one of the most colourful and
controversial club owners in the
modern history of British football.
He is best remembered for his
ownership of Chelsea FC, buying
the club for £1 in 1982 before
selling to Roman Abramovich in a
£140million deal in 2003.
Bates took on the failing giant
and turned its fortunes – banishing
debt and hooliganism – and
re-establishing Chelsea as a
top-fl ight club, achieving seven
successive top six fi nishes in the
Premier League and winning
several major trophies.
He secured the freehold of
Stamford Bridge and rebuilt it as an
all-seater stadium with a capacity of
more than 42,000. Bates famously
erected an electric perimeter fence
around the pitch to prevent
invasions, but dismantled it after
the local council refused him
permission to turn the electricity

His wildlife programmes for the BBC included Springwatch and Autumnwatch, How To Watch Wildlife, Wild In Your Garden, Birding With Bill Oddie, Britain Goes Wild With Bill Oddie and Bill Oddie Goes Wild.

aged 16 was told the couple he thought were his parents were in fact his grandparents and his mother had died when he was a baby and his father had left. He wasn’t reunited with his sister, who was looked after by another couple, until adulthood. At 18 the former grammar school boy trained as an accountant, determined to escape the poverty of his childhood. By 23 he had bought his fi rst Bentley. By his early 30s, Bates was rich enough to retire, making his fortune out of a ready-mix concrete business, sold after four years for more than half a million. He began his football career as chairman of Oldham Athletic in the 1960s and became owner and vice-chairman of Wigan Athletic in the early 1980s before purchasing Chelsea. After selling the Blues, Bates bought Leeds United in 2005, leaving the club in 2012. Latterly he lived in Monaco and is survived by third wife, Suzannah, and three daughters and two sons from his fi rst marriage.
Express letters page contributor BORN FEBRUARY 16, 1941 - DIED JULY 9, 2026, AGED 85
A REGULAR writer to the Daily Express letters page, Brian Banks, one of its most spirited contributors, has passed away at the age of 85. Born in Maghull, Merseyside, to Dorothy and Eric, Brian was a man who never shied away from a difficult question. It was a trait that famously saw him ushered out of Sunday school but later made him a formidable presence on our letters page. Brian’s journey through life was just as vibrant as his forthright opinions. After an early stint as an architect’s apprentice working on the iconic Liverpool Cathedral, he sought broader horizons by enlisting in the Merchant Navy. Brian’s adventures took him across the globe, though his heart remained fi rmly on Merseyside,
Local legend Banks
particularly with his beloved Liverpool FC, to whom he was devoted from the age of 10. In 1978 he married his beloved wife, Pamela. Their 48-year marriage was defi ned by love and Brian’s trademark wit. A proud father to Daniel and Nicola, Brian spent his retirement years gardening, playing bowls and travelling. However, it was his “two cents” sent via email that made him a local legend. A frequent and contentious voice in the Daily Express, Brian achieved the coveted Letter of the Day twice – moments he cherished with pride. Brian Banks was a true original: a traveller, a sailor and a proud Daily Express reader who always had the last word. He is survived by his wife, two children and younger brother David. Thank you, Brian, for all of your fantastic letters.

109 YEARS OLD AND STILL IN GOOD ALPHABETICAL ORDER
CUTTING the cost of living, as any Prime Minister will confi rm, is a tricky business, but I have just noticed a way of saving over £52billion a year. Actually it is not so much the general cost of living as the specifi c cost of speaking that will benefi t and it will cost almost nothing to implement. The idea is to rename the letter W which will henceforth be known simply as “wub”. I commented long ago in this column on the impertinence of that letter having a trisyllabic name when all the other letters have only one syllable each but my concerns back at the turn of the millennium were restricted to the time wasted saying “double-u, double-u, double-u” at the start of all web addresses. The people behind our web browsers responsibly modifi ed them to insert “www” automatically at the start of such addresses and catastrophe was averted. Now, however, I have realised the true magnitude of W-wastage and the massive savings to be made by replacing “double-u” by “wub”. The following fi gures have been confi rmed by the Office for Alphabetic Responsibility. On average, Ws, henceforth to be known as wubs, account for about 2.4% of letters in any extended text in our language. The number of words spoken every day by an English-speaker

is around 13,000, with an average of four letters each. That is 52,000 letters of which 1,248 are therefore Ws. Any literate person cannot speak a word without subconsciously spelling it out and saying “double-u” to oneself takes time. Replacing 1,248 of them by wubs will therefore save 2,496 syllables. There are in this country at least 65 million English- speaking people (excluding non-speaking babies and foreign nationals) whose wubs therefore deliver a total of over 162 billion syllables (that is 65 million times 2,496) saved every day. We speak at an average rate of four syllables a second, so those 162 billion syllables save 40.5 billion seconds, which is equal to 11.25 million hours every day. Counting the cost of this at the £12.71 hourly rate of the adult minimum wage, the daily value of this lost W-time amounts to £143million, which comes to £52.2billion a year which would come in handy for the government fi nances. I strongly recommend this to the new Prime Minister. Twenty-fi ve years ago, US President George W Bush saved his country one syllable by renaming his middle initial “dubya”. With my War on Wub Wastage, we can go one better and I

CAN you crack the Alphabeater? It’s a tough twist on our popular Alphapuzzle, designed to stretch your mental muscles to the limit. Each grid number below represents a letter or a black square. As in Alphapuzzle, every letter of the alphabet is used. But now you have to complete the grid too! Use the given letters and the given black squares below the main grid to start. To add to the fiendish fun, Alphabeater is ‘rotationally symmetrical’. In other words the grid is the same if you turn the page upside down. So, for example if there is a six-letter word Across which starts in the top left corner, there will be a corresponding six-letter word Across which ends in the bottom right corner square. Every black square has a symmetrical ‘twin’ but the ‘twin’ may not always share the same number. This can help identify other black squares. Of course if the centre square is black it has no corresponding ‘twin’. Solution next Saturday.

I
PAIGE FRESHWATER braves a 007 road to see why
n a busy world where everyone is chasing the next big thrill, sometimes the best holidays are the ones that force you to slow down and appreciate the simple things. T at’s exactly what I found in Tremosine sul Garda, on the western shores of Lake Garda, celebrated as Italy’s most beautiful village. A scattered village made up of 18 hamlets, it is set high above the lake. T is cliff top destination is loved for its medieval alleyways, dramatic Strada della Forra mountain road – described by Winston Churchill as the “eighth wonder of the world”– and a suspended glass platform that juts out over a 350m vertical drop. It dates back to 1185, and is home to just 2,000 lucky residents. One of the fi rst things I noticed was the the relaxed pace of daily life. Locals all seemd to know each other, stopping for leisurely chats in the street. Many gathered in the two main squares – Piazza Arturo Cozzaglio and Piazza Marconi – both in the main hamlet of Pieve, where cafes spill out onto the cobbled streets. It was unquestionably beautiful. But what surprised me most wasn’t the scenery – it was how quiet it was. As I wandered through the narrow lanes, I often found myself completely alone. Despite being one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, there were only a handful of other visitors around, making it feel as though I’d stumbled across a secret corner of Lake Garda. With around 200 people living in Pieve itself, the peaceful atmosphere allows you to soak up
the surroundings without battling crowds or waiting for the perfect photo. Tremosine sul Garda welcomes around 350,000 overnight visitors each year – a surprisingly small number compared with the estimated 27 million tourists who visit the wider Lake Garda region annually. Getting there is part of the adventure. To reach the village by car, you’ll need to tackle the famous Strada della Forra, a narrow mountain road carved into the cliff s, complete with hairpin turns, tunnels and heart-in-your-mouth drops. It’s fi ve miles long and challenging to say the least. It even featured in the opening Aston Martin chase of the 2008 James Bond fi lm Quantum of Solace. For nervous drivers, it can be a daunting experience. In several places, the road is only wide enough for one vehicle, meaning you often have to reverse into tiny passing places whenever you meet an oncoming car. I was relieved to discover there’s another option. T e Arriva Brescia bus runs from nearby Limone sul Garda to Tremosine, allowing visitors to enjoy the spectacular route without the stress of navigating it themselves. Beyond the scenery, there’s plenty to enjoy once you arrive. I sampled traditional Italian dishes at Restaurant Sole La Fenice, while Ristorante Miralago off ers panoramic views across Lake Garda that are particularly spectacular at sunset. Another highlight was staying at the beautifully decorated Locanda al Castelletto.
T e hotel was crammed with character and its restaurant served food that was just as memorable as the setting. For more dreamy Italian food, you should make time for Agriturismo Alpe del Garda, a working farm where visitors can watch local cheeses being made, sample the produce and buy some to take home. For those who enjoy walking, a steep trail leads past centuries-old shrines to Montecastello sanctuary – one of the most well-known and sacred places in Garda, found on a spur of rock sheer high above the lake. It’s well worth the climb if your legs are up to the job. After spending time in Tremosine sul Garda, it was the tranquillity that stayed with me the most. It’s the kind of place that reminds you not every holiday has to be 100mph – there’s a real beauty in slowing down. Especially if you’re on the Strada della Forra.
GET THERE Verona is the nearest airport to Lake Garda. Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2 and British Airways all offer direct flights from the UK, with a flight time of approx. two hours. BOOK IT Rooms at the Boutique Hotel Bogliaco (hotelbogliaco.com) start from £144 per night for a standard room.

A
island of Porto Santo
By MILO BOYD A
European island with stunning beaches is
one of this summer’s hottest spots. Porto
Santo is Madeira’s much quieter, sandier
sibling island. Its main draw is exactly what
Madeira and the Canary Islands can’t deliver
– a bit of peace and quiet.
While Madeira welcomes 2.2 million visitors a
year, and that number rising to seven million for
Tenerife, only around 50,000 make it to Porto
Santo. The island of 5,000 is reached by hopping
on a two-and-a-half-hour ferry from capital
Funchal on the bigger island.
The waves may get a little choppy,
but it’s well worth taking on the journey.
Porto Santo’s headline feature is its
single, near-uninterrupted 5.5-mile golden
sand beach that runs almost the entire
length of the island’s south coast.
This is a big deal because Madeira barely has
any sand beaches – they’re mostly volcanic pebble
or rock. So Porto Santo is the go-to for a classic
beach holiday in the archipelago.
The beach sand is locally famous for supposed
therapeutic properties, particularly for joint and
skin conditions. People travel specifically to bury
themselves in it or take mud/sand treatments.
Whether or not it actually works, digging
yourself down into the ground like a baby turtle
sounds like a nice way to spend an afternoon.
Once you’ve cured yourself, a quick dip to get
the residue sand off will likely be in order. The
island’s clear, calm, turquoise waters are great for
swimming, unlike much of Madeira’s rockier
coastline, and decent for watersports including
windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving.
Despite being known for sand, the island still
has volcanic hills and peaks like Pico do Facho
and Pico do Castelo, offering short hikes with
good views over the island and out to sea. It also
has enough flat land to fit in a well-regarded golf
course designed by Seve Ballesteros.
In terms of famous locals, Porto Santo’s
best-known son is Christopher Columbus, who
lived here before his voyages to the Americas.
You can visit the Christopher Columbus House
Museum in Vila Baleira, the main town.
It’s just a short flight – or the aforementioned
ferry ride – from Madeira and many people do
Porto Santo as a beach-day add-on rather
than a standalone destination.
The island delivers golden sand, reliable
warmth and a slower pace made for switching off.
It’s gaining momentum this year as travellers
move beyond Europe’s classic beach
staples in search of calmer, more
relaxed stays. Porto Santo was
named in Expedia’s Island Hot
List, having seen a 85% spike in
interest over the past year.

pace in Great Yarmouth...
or even a night away, the Norfolk town offers visitors charming seaside treats in buckets and spades, says JULIE DELAHAYE
classic British seaside
break is like a Sunday
roast – it needs all the
right trimmings. In this
case, I’m talking fish
and chip shops, arcades, a fun
pier, ice-cream parlours,
decent pubs and, of course, a
beautiful beach.
Bonus points if there’s also
an amusement park with some
sort of quirky ride or attraction
that’s been there for decades.
So when I visited Great
Yarmouth, I wasn’t expecting it
to tick every single one of those
boxes, given it gets mixed
reviews. The Norfolk town
sometimes gets an unfairly bad
rep, too. But local James Cossey
told me: “You can never not
have a good day out, especially
when you’ve got kids. I hate
that it does get slated.”
Visiting over a weekend with
a toddler who’s firmly in the
“refusing to sit still for more
than 30 seconds” phase, I have
to say I agree.
There wasn’t a moment across the weekend
where we were short of something fun to do.
The main promenade is lined with various
amusement parks, arcades and cafes.
Top of my list was heading to Joyland
(joyland.org.uk), Great Yarmouth’s famous
theme park that’s been open since 1949. These
parks can be a bit hit and miss with a toddler
given height restrictions, but we were able to
take our little one on at least four rides –
including the legendary Super Snails.
This ride involves a snail-shaped vehicle that
goes around a little track, which I mistakenly
assumed wouldn’t be particularly thrilling. I
was very quickly proven wrong when the first
sand wouldn’t look out of place in Spain’
drop occurred, and I genuinely held on to
the handlebar that little bit tighter!
I didn’t fully appreciate the Snails’
legacy until I posted a picture on social
media from the ride, only to get
inundated by messages from friends and
colleagues who gleefully shared happy
childhood memories of the snails and
Great Yarmouth.
For me, that sums up the town’s charm
– it’s the nostalgia of it all, but it has a bit
of a cheeky side.
Merrivale Model Village was a perfect
example (merrivalemodelvillage.co.uk).
I expected to spend maybe half an hour
at best to keep my toddler distracted, but
we stayed there for well over an hour as
there was so much to explore, and the
little trains were such a hit with all of the kids on
the site. It was one of the highlights.
As for that quirky side, we took the staff
member’s advice to “push any of the buttons
that need pushing”. The result? “Overhearing”
the conversations being had by the models –
this was a delight.
Just a warning when you get to the model golf
resort – it features some pretty spicy scenes
which definitely didn’t feel wholesome, but
were hilarious for the adults...
Of course, no seaside day is complete without
a trip to the pier, and Britannia Pier (britannia-
pier.co.uk) had everything we wanted – a pub
pouring decent pints, an arcade with 2p
machines, and a few rides and attractions
for kids, although these were slightly too big for
our toddler to try.
Britannia Pier actually picked up the title “Pier of
the Year” for 2026, following a £1.8million
investment. If I’m perfectly honest, I’ve been on
piers that had a little more buzz about them, but it
still delivered everything we wanted, and it was a
really nice spot where we could stop, get a drink in
the sunshine, and take in the seaside views while
our toddler burnt off some energy.
Speaking of energy, we decided to replenish ours
with a stop at Sara’s Tearooms. The moment I saw
the portions, I knew we’d made the right choice.
The seafront cafe has a menu with the likes of
burgers, fish and chips and Full English breakfasts,
and it’s the type of place where sandwiches are filled
to the brim and chips are properly piled on the plate. The food was delicious, and I was impressed at how well it could cater to my gluten-free needs. The family-run cafe – including homemade cakes
BOOK IT Haven Holidays has four parks in the area, with a three-night stay from £349 until August 28, 2026. haven.com MORE INFO Find out more about Great Yarmouth at visitgreatyarmouth.co.uk
from Sara herself – has such a warm
and welcoming atmosphere, and it’s
conveniently located between all of
the amusement parks so it’s definitely
a good little haven when you want to
stop and recharge.
Co-owner Matt Smith, who runs the
beachfront cafe after taking it over
from his parents, was more than
happy to have a chat and share some
recommendations, including urging
me to come back when the town
runs its weekly fireworks shows on
Wednesday nights (this will run
until August 26).
As for the beach? I wasn’t expecting
such a wide expanse of golden sand
that genuinely wouldn’t look out of
place in the likes of Spain or Portugal. Granted,
I visited over a weekend where it was 28C and
therefore everything felt more like Spain than
Norfolk, but I don’t think the weather was the
only reason why I was so impressed.
There was plenty of space to lay out a towel,
and the beach was predominantly full of families
building sandcastles, taking a dip in the sea,
and taking breaks to head to one of the many
ice-cream parlours along the promenade.
My only quibble with the town is that there
aren’t many public toilets – so you either need to
commit to buying something at one of the
cafes to use their facilities, or you need to
plan toilet breaks a little bit which, with a
toddler, wasn’t particularly easy.
Parking in town wasn’t an issue. Granted, we
travelled outside of the peak holiday season but it
was a hot and sunny weekend, so I’d been prepared
to have to circle around for a while to find spaces.
There are plenty of car parks around the town, and
we found one nearer towards theme park Pleasure
Beach, which cost us about £11 for the day.
It feels like there may be an element of snobbery
from Great Yarmouth’s critics. The town isn’t trying
to compete with luxury resorts or high-end
hotels and Michelin-style restaurants.
Yes, there are some parts of town that could do
with a lick of paint, but I think that can be true
of a lot of UK destinations.
And I loved that it didn’t feel too polished – it’s
cheap, cheerful and quintessentially British.
HOLIDAY INTO A GREEK TRAGEDY
By AMY JONES
If you want to explore
world-famous sites in
Greece, there are new
guidelines to be aware of.
And, according to Saga
Holidays, anyone caught
breaking them could face a
fine of up to £425 (€500).
Alison Porter, senior
product manager at
Saga Holidays, explained:
“One rule that can catch
travellers out in Greece is
footwear. High heels or other
sharp-soled shoes may not
be suitable at some
archaeological sites, as they
can damage fragile ancient
surfaces. Comfortable,
practical footwear is the
safest choice.”
One of the most favoured
pastimes for tourists in
Greece is exploring the
country’s extensive
collection of incredible
historic sites, medieval
towns and landmarks. Some
of the most famous include
The Acropolis of Athens, the
Delphi Archaeological Site,
and the Unesco World Heritage Sites of Ancient Olympia and Epidaurus in the Peloponnese. Interest has been further sparked following the release of Christopher Nolan’s movie, The Odyssey, which resulted in a 25% increase in Google searches in the last week, according to Saga. Alison added: “Unesco sites vary widely, and rules can differ significantly between destinations. “Tourists can face fines for vandalism, accessing unauthorised areas, and eating and drinking in restricted places – even if the offence is unintentional. That’s why it’s important to abide by the rules, and travel with a tour manager or guide who can explain the history, etiquette and rules of a destination or monument.”
G
the faint-hearted but, as STEPHEN JONES found out, have no fear with a stay at a TUI BLUE resort
i h ki i b d i f
oing on holiday as a fi rst-time parent was incredibly daunting – but never have I wanted a holiday more after the exhausting fi rst months of parenthood. My wife and I decided to take our four-month-old twins to the TUI Blue Orquidea resort in Bahia Feliz, Gran Canaria. It was a short fl ight at four-and-a-half hours, all-inclusive, and family-friendly. Whether you think we were brave, foolhardy or naive, I am pleased to say we not only survived, but we enjoyed it! Here are my fi ve tips for fellow new parents…
IT PAYS TO PREPARE We did our research – we bought bigger suitcases, a travel pram that could be stowed in overhead lockers, and booked a night at the airport hotel to ease the stress of a 5am check-in time. Having bottles prepped for both take-off and landing is essential. We bought Alpine Muff y ear defender-style headphones to protect our babies’ ears, and Jellycat cloth books to keep them entertained. Booking a private transfer from the airport to the hotel (which was just 20 minutes away) was worth every penny. It meant we avoided long check-in queues, and calling ahead meant the hotel had already set up the travel cots when we got into our room.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT CRYING BABIES T e one thing I really feared before our holiday was the embarrassment of our babies crying. I soon discovered the truth is most people are too busy worrying about their own children to care what yours are up to. T e reassuring sight of so many other
families trying to do exactly what we were trying to do spurred us on. Even when our kids did cry in the restaurant, it was too noisy for anyone more than fi ve metres away to hear, and not once did anyone look bothered. T e hotel’s buff et set-up had a huge variety but importantly meant we could take it in turns to get food while one of us stayed behind.
PLAN, PLAN, PLAN When you have babies you have to slow down your itinerary. Aim to only do one or two signifi cant things a day. We soon learned to always make up bottles for the next feed straight after the current one – the next comes around pretty quickly. When you have fed them, you have a gap of a maximum three hours to do an activity before they get grouchy, so try to already have something planned or booked in advance. Before our trip, we hadn’t really appreciated how well set up for kids aged under three this family-friendly resort was. One of the best things we did all week was a visit to the baby spa put on by the TUI baby and tots club staff – a sensory-led experience where both babies delighted in being pampered. Most days followed a pleasantly simple rhythm: breakfast, play time, lunch, naps, swimming, dinner and sleep. And repeat.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP Travelling with babies is never completely stress-free, and we never left our room without extra nappies and wipes (having restocked at the nearby Spar) ready for any unexpected drama. But somehow everything felt manageable. T ere was a godsend of Baby Lounge with air-con next to the pools we used
experience to pamper the little ones’
every day to change nappies or just have quiet time. T e Baby Club came at an extra cost, but meant we could leave our babies with trained staff for a couple of hours and enjoy the pool or a trip to the spa (I’m pleased to say I made it to both more than once). 5. ONCE YOU’VE DONE IT ONCE YOU WILL WANT TO DO IT AGAIN Now we have done it – and survived – I almost can’t remember what it was we were worrying about in the fi rst place. One of the other highlights of our trip was a day out to the village of Mogán – a picturesque fi shing village on the coast known aff ectionately as
BOOK IT TUI offers seven-night holidays to Gran Canaria, Spain, staying at the 4T TUI BLUE Orquidea on an all-inclusive basis from £900pp, based on two adults and one child sharing a twin room, flying from London Luton in August, and 23kg luggage per person and transfers included. tui.co.uk TUI Musement offers a “Little Venice” trip where you visit Mogán by boat from £45 per adult, £28 per child (3-12 years old) and children (0-2) go free. tuimusement.com/uk
“Little Venice”, which you can access via ferry. I was 50/50 about booking a boat trip with the babies but there was nothing remotely diffi cult about ditching our prams for slings. Our Ergobaby Omni baby carriers’ mesh design coped well in the heat as we explored the village’s beautifully quaint streets and waterways by foot. Mogán has a pretty, sandy beach where we were able to dip the kids’ toes in the sea for the fi rst time. It was at that point I realised that’s the point of holidays; a chance to make those long-lasting memories. And that’s also when I started to think about where we could go next.

BLACKBERRY JAM PREP: 20 MINS • COOK: 40 MINS PLUS OVERNIGHT SOAKING • MAKES ROUGHLY 2.2 LITRES (ABOUT 8 JAM JARS), • EASILY HALVED • EASY Make this easy blackberry jam with your glut of summer fruit – perfect with fresh white bread. Use jam sugar (with added pectin) to make sure it sets • 1.8kg blackberries • 1 ½kg jam sugar (the one with added pectin) • juice and pips of 1 lemon • fi nger-tip size knob of butter (optional) • 1

dissolving so you don’t run the risk of over- cooking the fruit when you actually begin to make the jam. The next morning, give everything a quick stir, then set aside again until you are ready to start cooking. 2
Before you start, put a small saucer in the freezer. Take a preserving pan or a large, wide-based pan (the wider and more open the pan, the faster the jam will be ready, so a preserving pan is really ideal) and tip the berries in, scraping out all the juices and any undissolved sugar. Stir in the lemon juice, then collect all the pips and secure them inside a tea-leaf strainer or piece of muslin before adding them to the pan (cooking the pips along with the fruit extracts the pectin they contain, helping your jam to set).
YOUR SOUL
Start the blackberries over a low heat until all the sugar is completely dissolved, then bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and spoon a little hot syrupy jam on to the chilled saucer. Once it’s cool, push it with your finger. If it wrinkles, it’s ready and has reached setting point. If it’s too runny to wrinkle, return the pan to the heat and boil in two or three-minute stages, removing the pan from the heat each time you do the saucer check, until the jam wrinkles. 4
Skim off any excess scum, then stir in the butter, if you want – this will help to dissolve any remaining scum. Leave the jam for 15 mins before ladling into sterilised jars – this allows the fruit to settle so it doesn’t sink. The jam will keep in a cool, dark place for at least six months. Refrigerate jars once opened.

n August, the garden doesn’t have to fade when the sun drops. In fact, some plants save their best qualities for later in the day. Their fragrance can strengthen, pale flowers have more of a glow, and moths start to visit nectar-rich blooms. A little evening planting can turn a patio, path, or seating area into a striking display.
CLIMBERS FOR SCENT
AND ATMOSPHERE
Climbers are spectacular for offering evening
interest as they provide fragrance at nose
height. Honeysuckle is a classic choice,
especially near an arch, pergola, or open
window. Many flower throughout summer,
releasing a sweet scent that becomes more
noticeable in the evening.
Star jasmine, Trachelospermum
jasminoides, is another beautiful option for
warm, sheltered walls. Its white, star-shaped
flowers are richly fragrant in summer while
the glossy evergreen leaves give structure

afterwards. In colder gardens, give it the protection of a south- or west-facing wall.
FLOWERS THAT GLOW AT DUSK Lightly coloured flowers are wonderful in an evening garden as they still appear bright in lower lights. White cosmos, pale dahlias, phlox and nicotiana can all make a border feel brighter at dusk. Phlox is particularly lovely near seating as many varieties combine midsummer colour with soft scent. Nicotiana is worth growing close to paths or patios. Its tubular flowers become more scented in the evening, helping attract moths and other night-flying pollinators. Evening primrose is another good choice, with flowers that open later in the day and provide nectar after dark.

heliotrope, lavender, rosemary and scented pelargoniums can all bring fragrance close to a table or doorway. Place pots where you sit in the evening, so you can best enjoy them. Containers dry quickly in August, so make sure to water regularly and remove faded flowers. A weekly feed will also help flowering plants to keep producing blooms. Raise the pots slightly on pot feet so any excess water can drain away.

Water camellias and rhododendrons well during this particularly dry weather, especially if growing in pots or newly planted. They are setting next year’s flower buds now, so drought could impact next year’s spring display. Use rainwater where possible for pots, and soak thoroughly at the roots. 2
Pinch out the tops of outdoor cordon tomatoes once four trusses have set, or when the plants reach their support. Remove the growing point two leaves above the top truss, helping plants focus on ripening fruit already formed before the cooler weather returns.

You can plant nerine bulbs this month for autumn colour. Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil, ideally near a wall. Plant nerine bowdenii with the neck just showing above the surface, spacing bulbs closely but not touching. Water them in, then avoid moving them unnecessarily. 4

Lift onions once the tops yellow and naturally flop. Don’t bend the foliage over to force ripening, but instead ease the bulbs up carefully with a fork, dry them somewhere warm, airy and sheltered, then store only the firm, undamaged onions once the skins have become papery.
DAHLIA
ahlias are at their best in August, bringing bold colour and generous displays to late-summer borders. Their blooms range from single, pollinator- friendly flowers to neat pompoms, spiky cactus types, and dramatic dinner-plate forms. This versatility makes them ideal for a cottage-garden feel, tropical drama, or long-lasting cut flowers. Dahlia ‘Bishop of Dover’ is a single variety, with lilac petals fading to white in the centre. Dahlia ‘Park Princess’ offers structure as a striking cactus variety, while Dahlia ‘Dalina Maxi Peach’ is wonderful for soft colour. Dahlias grow best in a warm, sunny, sheltered position, in fertile, free-draining soil. Smaller varieties can work well in containers, while taller or large-flowered dahlias usually need sturdy support. Keep plants watered during dry spells, especially in pots, and feed regularly once they are growing strongly. This month, keep the display going. Deadhead faded flowers by cutting back to a pair of leaves, rather than removing the spent head. Check ties after wind or heavy rain, and remove any damaged stems. To learn more, watch Step-by-Step Gardening, filmed at Blue Diamond Garden Centres’ Bridgemere Show Gardens. Fun fact: Some dahlias are better for pollinators than others. Open-centred, single varieties make it much easier for bees and other insects to reach the pollen and nectar.
DID YOU KNOW? Some Tagetes marigolds work hard below ground as well as above. Their roots release natural compounds that can help suppress certain plant-parasitic nematodes, or eelworms, which damage roots and weaken crops.
Strawberry plants are generous but short-lived. Crops often decline after three to four years, so refresh beds with new plants once the time comes. Runners make this easy, giving you young replacements from healthy parent plants.
Ley’s whitebeam is one of Wales’s rarest trees. There are only around 17 in the wild, clinging to steep limestone cliffs in the Brecon Beacons.
Pampas grass may look soft, but handle it carefully. Its plumes are feathery, while the long leaves have sharply toothed edges that can cut skin, so wear gloves when pruning or clearing.

SOARING aviation fuel prices sent British Airways’ parent company profi ts diving. International Airlines Group (IAG) fi g- ures slumped more than a third amid the ongoing Middle East confl ict. IAG reported pre-tax profi ts of €995million (£852m) in the three months to the end of June. A year ago they were at €1.5bn. Combined fuel costs and emissions charges rose by €413m – a 23% spike linked to the US and Israel’s war with Iran. Revenue was stable at €8.9bn. Operating profi t was cut 25% to €1.3bn. CEO Luis Gallego insisted the group has “excellent fundamen- tals”, and its diverse port- folio of brands means it is well positioned to deal with “near-term headwinds”. The business – which also owns the Iberia, Vueling and Level airlines – said it expected demand for travel across its network to “remain strong”. Some 57% of seats have been booked for the second half of the year, with reve- nue from those in line with last year. It added that it expected its long-haul markets to “remain positive”, and short- haul fl ights to be “competitive”. IAG’s

pre-tax profi ts for the six months to June 30 were down 19%, from €1.7bn to €1.4bn. However, revenue over this period rose by 1% to €16.1bn. Some 57.9 million passengers fl ew on IAG fl ights in the fi rst half of the year – relatively stable com- pared with 2025. Mr Gallego added: “With these results, IAG has again demonstrated that its excellent funda- mentals are supporting continued value creation for our shareholders, despite the impact of the crisis in the Middle East and wider geopoliti- cal events.” Aarin Chiekrie, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “The head- line fi gures may look disappointing at fi rst glance, with broadly fl at revenue and second-quarter profi ts declining at a dou- ble-digit rate due to soaring fuel costs. “But context is key, and profi ts held up better than many peers. “They were even better than markets expected, thanks to a tight grip on everyday costs and a lower-than-forecast fuel bill.”

Outlets will be sold to retail experts
SAINSBURY’S is to sell its Argos business to a fi rm set up by retail veterans, in a deal worth at least £120million. Swift Partners will buy 201 standalone Argos stores and 466 within Sainsbury’s, as well as collection points, depots, logistics and warranty products. The supermarket chain said the move would allow it to focus on its core food and grocery operations. Swift has been set up by retail experts including former Co-op boss Richard Pennycook. He said: “We believe strongly in Argos’s future and see real opportunities to invest and build on its progress.” The deal is expected to complete in February next year, with a full separation of the two businesses taking place by 2029.
arm, ITV Studios. The intended share buyback is part of an early tranche of £950m in cash returns to be secured from the sell-off. Bosses at ITV revealed the company saw total group revenues increase by 2% to £1.89bn for the six-month period, compared with a year earlier.
on greater growth
NATWEST Group profi ts jumped by a fi fth in the fi rst half of the year as income spiked and costs were cut.
The banking group’s operating pre-tax profi t was £4.3bn to the end of June, up 20% on 2025’s fi rst half. Customer lending and deposits rose over the period, while the bank lowered its cost-to-income ratio. NatWest said it expected an improved fi nancial performance for the year while the recent acquisition of wealth management fi rm Evelyn Partners begins to bear fruit. CEO Paul Thwaite said: “Through our long-standing relationships, deep regional presence, and responsible adoption of AI, we are well placed to accelerate our progress by doing even more to meet our customers’ needs, as well as helping to generate growth in every nation and region of the UK.”

RUGBY LEAGUE: SUPER LEAGUE SUPER LEAGUE
BY JAMES SMAILES ST HELENS head to the ancient city of York with Jackson Hastings warning it’s the Knights’ history boys his team need to get to grips with. York have surprised many this season with their performances, starting in round one with the scalp of champions Hull KR. Inspirationally led by two of the game’s veterans in Paul McShane
and Paul Vaughan, Saints know they need to handle the elder statesmen if they are to return to winning ways after a loss to derby rivals Wigan last time out. “They have some experienced fellas in there who have been around for years and some exciting young backs, so we have our hands full,” said ex-Man of Steel Hastings. “Hopefully we can play our best brand of rugby and get the result.” Interim Saints head coach Eamon
O’Carroll recalls his own veteran in Alex Walmsley to aid a young side. York will hand a debut to new signing Matty English following his switch from Huddersfield Giants. Over in the south of France, Jack Sinfield returns to the Wakefield Trinity squad as they go in search of a seventh successive victory to keep alive their top-two hopes. They take on a Catalans Dragons team who are on a two-game losing run.
MAJOR CHANCE Hull is in the hunt for glory
not blown yet
CHARLEY HULL and Lottie Woad both sit on two under par after the second round of the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes. In challenging windy conditions on the Lancashire coast, both players recorded rounds of level-par 71 after Hull, seeking a maiden Major title, holed a bunker shot on the 17th for a birdie. Woad had been looking good when she made the turn at two under, but she missed birdie chances on the 11th and 12th and lost momentum, dropping a shot on the 14th and then ending with a bogey. “It was a pretty good day,” Woad said. “Definitely tougher scoring today it seems. Just a few more sneaky pins and the wind was a little bit stronger. I just need to try and make a few more birdies.” Both Woad and Hull sit five shots behind leader Ryu Hae-ran of South Korea.
AHEAD OF THE FINAL
JUDD TRUMP will swap the green baize for golfing greens today after sealing his spot in the Shanghai Masters final. Trump beat world champion Wu Yike 10-6 in the semi-final and will meet either Kyren Wilson or Zhao Xintong in tomorrow’s final. That pair will clash today, though Trump will have his mind elsewhere. Trump said: “I don’t know what I’ll do. Maybe some golf, but I haven’t thought too far ahead. Maybe a bit of practising, maybe a bit of golf or just get out and see some of the sights of Shanghai.”

SALE hooker Nathan Jibulu has extended his stay at the Gallagher Prem club until 2030. London-born Jibulu, 23, who had one year remaining on the Sale deal he signed after leaving Harlequins last summer, has impressed in Manchester and was called up to an England training squad in June. Jibulu (below) told the club website: “I’ve loved my first year at Sale. We know the season didn’t go as we wanted, but the atmosphere has been really good and so many young lads got a lot of experience in big games. “With the signings we’ve made this season, we’re building a squad that can win titles and I want to be a part of that.”

BY DAVID CHARLESWORTH FORMER England captain Nasser Hussain has implored Harry Brook to wise up after the Yorkshireman was passed over to lead the Test side. Despite being Ben Stokes’ right- hand man in recent months and endorsed by the outgoing Test captain to succeed him, Brook was overlooked for a promotion as Joe Root was this week reappointed to the job. Managing director of men’s cricket Rob Key revealed Brook’s workload of being an important RAISE YOUR GAME Brook
c a p t a i n Fleming and the returning England captain Joe Root as the partnership to bring stability and success back to a side that had lost its way. McCullum remains an important part of the picture at the helm of England’s white-ball team, and plenty still believe that Stokes could enter the fray again in time for next year’s Ashes campaign. Speaking at Lord’s to launch his latest vision for England, Key (right) would not rule out a headline- grabbing return for the Durham all-rounder. Asked if Fleming had raised the idea, Key said: “We haven’t got round to that at the moment, but it would be a great
story.” Pressed on whether Stokes himself had given any indication, a smiling Key added: “No, he hasn’t but I wouldn’t be surprised. Anything’s possible with Ben. “No bridges have been burned… not at all. Not as far as I’m concerned.” Fleming, 53, was a highly respected man manager and tactician during his long stint as New Zealand captain – during which time he forged a strong bond with McCullum. That relationship could serve the ECB well as they attempt to avoid the tensions that have marred previous attempts to install a split-coaching regime – with Andy Flower and Ashley Giles failing to gel; and Matthew Mott playing second fiddle to McCullum when they attempted a job share. There has been consternation
all-format regular and white-ball captain was not a consideration in him being overlooked. Brook’s fracas outside a nightclub, hours before skippering England in an ODI against New Zealand last winter, continues to cast a large shadow, as does his occasional reckless batting. While Hussain highlighted the job Brook has been doing with the limited-overs sides – he has led the T20 team to the top of the rankings – he lamented the 27-year-old’s naivety. “You need the mature Harry Brook to come
about Fleming not taking charge of the forthcoming series against Pakistan. Having just concluded a long stint in charge of Chennai Super Kings, he will take a break before arriving in this country next month, leaving him seven Tests and no home series before the Ashes. Key insisted: “My job is to get the best person. “It wasn’t a stipulation for any of the candidates that you had to be there for Pakistan. Had that been the case, that would have limited the field drastically. “A month ago this was probably not on a lot of people’s radar – myself and Stephen, as well. In life, you have a lot of things that you have to do, that have been planned a long way in advance, that are really important for him as well. “So, that wasn’t a stipulation that you had to be in there. “In Stephen and Joe, I think we’ve got the two best people to take on what is a side with a huge amount of potential. “I’m as optimistic as ever that we’ve got the best people to take English cricket forward.”
out and it’s been lacking,” Hussain said. “That’s why I’m a little bit disappointed in Harry himself, that I think there’s a very good captain in there. I think it’s a missed opportunity. “One of the things in (new head coach Stephen Fleming’s) in-tray will be to sit with Harry Brook and actually say, ‘We’ve had to (give the captaincy) to someone that may not actually want to do it’. “‘We couldn’t trust you to do the job. Sort yourself out, Harry, because I think you should be the next England Test cricket captain’.”

BY JAMES TONEY in GLASGOW JOSH KERR has Commonwealth Games glory on home turf in his sights – but he is expecting a challenge from another Scotsman. The world mile record holder starts as favourite for tonight’s men’s mile. Nothing but gold will do in a high- quality final that includes Australia’s defending 1500m champion Ollie Hoare and Cameron Myers. Though it’s fellow Scot Jake Wightman (inset, centre) that Kerr claims is the one to watch in Glasgow. He said: “Jake is in awesome shape and he’s the kind of athlete who turns up in big championship races. The top guys all think they can win it. That’s what makes this so exciting.” It’s 15 years to the day since Kerr, then just 13, finished a distant fifth at the junior Scottish Championships here, while also recording what remain his personal bests in the shot put and high jump. But he admits he doesn’t recognise Scotstoun from his first visit. Kerr said: “I’ve got so many happy memories here but it’s always windy, they’ve made the place look like Hollywood now.” However, rising star Myers is in no mood to play a supporting role. The

the “greatest player” he played with. Maldini said on Instagram: “You taught me to fight until my very last breath, and showed me the meaning of devotion to the jersey and the value of being a true leader. “You did this through your example, every single day: few words, but countless actions. “You protected me when I was a child, guided me as a young man, and inspired me as an adult. You were the greatest player I ever had the honour of playing with. “We will miss you, captain. But the light of your star will continue to guide us forever.”

The former Milan captain spent his entire career with the club, playing 719 times in 20 seasons as a professional. A post on the official Milan X account said: “The entire history of AC Milan is in tears following the passing of Franco Baresi. “His example and integrity will be forever etched into the club’s DNA, just as his iconic No.6 shirt is.” AC Milan great Paolo Maldini – who spent 25 years with the club – described Baresi as
FROM ALASDAIR GOLD in SYDNEY ROBERTO DE ZERBI is ready to go on a journey with his big-spending Tottenham this season – and show one taxi-driving Arsenal fan why it costs money to get places. The Italian coach has been backed by Spurs this summer with the club smashing their transfer record twice, first for £85million Mateus Fernandes and then £100m Sandro Tonali. While out on Tottenham’s pre-season tour in Australia, De Zerbi confirmed their £237m summer splurge is set to continue with “two more, maybe three. We have to see”. Spurs are confident of getting Manchester City winger Savinho (below) in the weeks ahead and are understood to be working on another big deal, which De Zerbi has hinted at in recent days in Sydney, but is only ready to confirm as a n o t h e r attacker. Asked if all the big spending has increased the pressure on him, the 46-year-old shook his head and recounted a conversation he had with a London cab driver before leaving for this tour. “Zero pressure. You know why? Because one day a taxi man in London stopped me to congratulate me on the transfer market,” recalled the Spurs boss. “He said, ‘Eh, you are spending a lot of money!’. “I said, ‘But who are you a fan of?’ Arsenal was the answer. “So I said, ‘You have spent money for a long time in the last three or four years’. “I think Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, to stay at the top of the table, they have spent money. “If you want to compete, now, for the top of the Premier League, and to put Tottenham in the highest level, we need

STICKY FOR TOFFEES
BY CHRIS BEESLEY EVERTON’S owners have injected £38million into the club after the Toffees were hit with two rejections over the compensation fee they have been ordered to pay Burnley. The club had asked the Premier League panel for a delay on payment or to put funds in escrow pending their appeal. They also raised concerns over Burnley’s ability to pay anything back should they win that appeal, but both requests were rejected. Owners The Friedkin Group were given a time period to make the payment

to bring in top players, like we are doing.” Spurs are set to take on Chelsea in front of 80,000 fans at Sydney’s Accor Stadium today (10.45am, UK time) in the first derby between the two sides to be played outside of London. De Zerbi will be without Fernandes, who is suffering fatigue in his calf according to the Tottenham head coach,
but no date has been set yet for their appeal. The case – heard by a Premier League commission – relates to the 2021/22 season, when Everton were found to have broken profit and sustainability regulations (PSR) over a three-year period. Burnley argued the breach impacted their chances of staying in the Premier League and sought compensation for the losses associated with being relegated. The Clarets were awarded £26m in damages and a further £9m in interest. In response, Everton said

they were “surprised and angered by the decision” and claimed, “this ruling sets a dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football, given it is constructed on a principle that a club can be in breach of financial rules at any point in a financial year.” At the time, club sources insisted Blues top brass would robustly and thoroughly contest the ruling while manager David Moyes said: “I felt that we had paid our dues.” He also revealed he had been told by owners that the decision would not negatively impact on his summer transfer budget.

midfielder taking on a No.10 role in Maddison’s absence with the deeper jobs set to be dominated by Tonali and Fernandes. Gallagher admitted that the competition for places is strong. The former Chelsea midfielder said: “When you play for a top club like Tottenham, if there’s not competition for a starting spot then something is wrong. We

FORMER York boss Stuart Maynard says he has been “overwhelmed” by the support he has received since his shock sacking last weekend. Maynard led York back to the EFL after a decade-long absence by winning the National League in April, with promotion clinched by a last- gasp equaliser on the final day at second-placed Rochdale. “Firstly, I’m overwhelmed by the messages of support I have received on social media over the past few days. I have read and appreciated every single one,”

We went through a really tough season last time and we are so determined and hungry to improve as a team.”
Maynard said in a statement on the League Managers Association website. “I feel honoured and privileged to have guided York City back into the EFL, where they rightly belong after 10 years of heartache for the supporters.” York said the decision to sack Maynard (left) was taken because of a “difference in direction and vision for the football club”, and the Minstermen have appointed former Swindon, MK Dons and Crawley boss Scott Lindsey as the 45-year-old’s successor.

SAUDI IN HUNT FOR EURO JOB
BY PAUL GORST ARNE SLOT is ready to resist interest from Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli as the former Liverpool boss plots a return to a job in European football. The former Feyenoord coach led the Reds to their 20th league title less than 12 months after succeeding Jurgen Klopp in the summer of 2024, but his second season was far more difficult. Liverpool lost 12 times in total in the Premier League and scraped into the Champions League spots on the final day . Slot was reluctantly relieved of his duties by sporting director Richard Hughes with a year left to run on his contract. Since then, Slot (inset) has been linked with Fulham before reports emerged of interest from Saudi club Al Ahli. Slot is believed to be one of the leading contenders for the role at the Jeddah-based club following Newcastle’s move for Matthias Jaissle, who is set to replace Eddie Howe at St James’ Park. However, Slot is instead targeting a coaching comeback in Europe . AC Milan were linked with Slot before hiring former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, while the former Reds boss’s assistants, Sipke Hulshoff and Giovanni van Bronckhorst have since returned to Feyenoord.
A CURT REPLY
INTER MILAN have not given up on their chase for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones. Inter attempted to sign Jones in January and also had a bid worth £21m rejected earlier this summer. The Reds want closer to £35m for the 25-year-old, who was involved in an on-pitch bust-up with team-mates during their friendly with Wrexham this week. Inter are willing to pay close to £30m for Jones, who has one year left on his Anfield contract, with Liverpool chiefs believed to feel it is better to let him go on a free next summer than allow him to depart for a price lower than their valuation. The midfielder was in the thick of a fiery exchange with Kostas Tsimikas and Dominik Szoboszlai (inset), seemingly over the captain’s armband, during the 1-0 win over Wrexham in New York. Jones was seen pointing and gesturing at the Hungarian, as he seemed to grow frustrated at Szoboszlai attempting to calm him down. Tsimikas then threw the captain’s armband on the floor, with Jones and Szoboszlai wafting their arms in the air in an exasperated fashion. Jones then picked the armband up and hugged Szoboszlai as the midfielder confronted an annoyed and irritated Tsimikas.

ULTIMATUM
n
BY CONNOR O’NEILL REAL MADRID have tabled a final take it or leave it contract offer to Vinicius Junior as he continues to attract interest from Arsenal. The Gunners have enquired about the Brazil international, as boss Mikel Arteta wants to sign proven talent this summer. Vinicius fits the bill, winning 14 trophies and scoring 128 goals in 375 matches for the Spanish giants, but he only has one year left on his current deal. Real have tried to renew Vinicius’ contract but with no progress made, they have now hit their star man with an ultimatum. The La Liga side have informed the 26-year-old’s camp that the latest contract offer they submitted is final and there will be no further increase nor another round of negotiations. If Vinicius accepts, his deal will be renewed, however, if he rejects the offer, Madrid will open the door to a sale this summer to prevent the Brazilian leaving for free next summer. The Gunners have already bolstered their attacking options this summer with the £34million signing of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge and are on the trail of Newcastle skipper Bruno Guimaraes. Arteta said: “We have to show that we belong to this level and we want to increase and take this football club to a different dimension.” “We all know about the context of this transfer window. From ownership to the board, the sporting director and myself, we know that we want to take this club to a different level. “That is going to require a better squad, better individuals. We have identified where we have opportunities to grow and to improve and to evolve our game and what is going to be needed to achieve that. “Hopefully very soon we can start to put things in a very concrete way.”

MATOS GETS 2030 DEAL
SWANSEA head coach Vitor Matos has signed a new contract through to the summer of 2030. The 38-year-old Portuguese (below) was appointed last November and won 14 of his 30 league games as Swansea finished 11th in the Championship. “From the moment I arrived here, I have sensed how powerful the connection between Swansea City and the fans and community is,” Matos said. “We put good foundations in place last season, but now we have to look forward, we have to keep pushing and making progress.” Chief executive Tom Gorringe said: “Vitor made a considerable impact following his appointment in November of last year and we are excited about the direction in which he is taking Swansea City.”

UP IN THE AIR
FROM BACK PAGE
a break in his native Brazil following his World Cup exploits has anything to do with his future – and was simply a case of his travel plans being made easier. They also insist there has yet to be any direct contact from Arsenal regarding Guimaraes, while suggesting the player’s head has been filled with ideas about a transfer that may never get a green light. That is despite claims Arsenal have seen two proposals, tabled via intermediaries, rejected by Newcastle – the most recent in the region of £70million plus £5m in add-ons. What is certainly true is that the ball is now in Arsenal’s court regarding a concrete offer, with a figure of £80m understood to be required if Newcastle were consider selling. Toon CEO David Hopkinson and sporting director Ross Wilson – the latter having flown to Spain yesterday – have been authorised by the club’s Saudi backers to handle the situation. With two years remaining on his deal, they remain determined not to sell. As club captain, Guimaraes has been reluctant to publicly agitate for a transfer like Alexander Isak (above) last summer. But that could change in light of Eddie Howe’s exit as manager on Thursday. New German boss Jaissle, who brings his own backroom team, is expected to sign a four-year deal – and he will cost Newcastle £8m in compensation, to be paid to his previous club Al-Ahli.
TO EDD AWAY
BY LEE RYDER NEWCASTLE have confirmed Eddie Howe stepped down from his role as head coach. The 48-year-old told the Toon he wanted to end five years in charge after an emotional roller-coaster since saving the club from relegation and leading the Magpies to the Carabao Cup. A club statement read: “Newcastle United can announce that Eddie Howe has informed the club of his decision to step down as head coach. “The club has accepted Eddie’s decision and would like to thank him for his extraordinary contribution. “Also leaving the club are coaches Jason Tindall, Graeme Jones, Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone, and head of performance Dan Hodges.” Howe (above) then said in an emotional statement: “After a period of personal reflection, I have decided that now is the right time for me to step away from my role as head coach of Newcastle United. “After nearly five years of giving my life, heart and soul into the club with unrelenting energy, I feel that it is in the best interests of both myself and the club to step away, recharge and take a break. It has been the privilege of my lifetime.’’

FLIGHT?
BY LEE RYDER NEWCASTLE UNITED expect Bruno Guimaraes to report to their pre-season training camp tomorrow, despite Arsenal’s determination to push through a deal to sign the Brazil midfielder. The rest of the Toon squad flew to La Manga, Spain yesterday, with incoming boss Matthias Jaissle due to arrive today. Newcastle are hopeful that Jaissle can help persuade Guimaraes that his future is still on Tyneside, despite the Gunners’ interest. But it remains to be seen if Guimaraes will even make the trip to southern Spain, amid claims that the player’s camp do not feel it would be beneficial for him to report for training when a transfer to the Emirates remains an option. But sources on Tyneside dismissed the notion that the delay in Bruno returning from

BY ANDY SIMS CHELSEA winger Mykhailo Mudryk can return to playing immediately after the Football Association and the World Anti- Doping Agency “resolved his appeal” over a ban for a doping-test failure. The Ukrainian (right) was suspended for four years after failing a drug test which revealed the presence of a low concentration of meldonium, a prohibited substance, in 2024. Mudryk filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, while changes to WADA procedures in the interim mean that had his failed test produced the same result now, charges would not have been brought. The FA said: “As a part of the agreement, Mr Mudryk accepted that he had committed

the final day of the
Qatar-sponsored
‘Glorious’ meeting – the
going is officially ‘good
to firm, good in places’
– today.
Lee Phelps, spokesperson for William Hill, says... IT’S been a long week for the bookies at Goodwood, with favourites flying in all over the place. We fared slightly better yesterday, managing to get the well-backed duo of Talk In New York and Night Raider beaten. We’re looking to end the week on a high note and will be hoping that the
heavily supported SONDAD (11-2 from 10-1) doesn’t bring home the bacon for punters in today’s Stewards’ Cup (3.35). Charlie Hills is always a trainer to be respected in sprints like this and his runner MITBAAHY (10-1 from 16-1) is another we’re wary of. Last year’s winner TWO TRIBES (17-2 from 9-1, right) is prominent in the market
while 2024 victor GET IT (18-1 from 25-1) has been backed at bigger prices. VALEDICTORY (9-4 from 4-1) is a well- supported favourite for the opening handicap (1.50). Joseph O’Brien enjoyed a double on the card yesterday and both of his runners, AERONAUTIC (11-2 from 13-2) and SMALL FRY (9-2 from 15-2), have shortened up in the market.
OPPORTUNITY (9-4 from 3-1) has wrestled favouritism from AL AASY (5-2 from 9-4) in the Group Three Glorious Stakes (2.25) betting, while a big springer in the market is the JP McManus- owned IN MY TEENS (5-1 from 17-2). AMELIA EARHART has disappointed the last twice in the Oaks and Irish Oaks but there has been support around for Aidan

O’Brien’s fi lly, who has shortened into 15-2 from 9-1 for the Group Two Lillie Langtry Stakes (3.00). There have been a few nibbles for Godolphin’s WILD DESERT (11-2 from 6-1) in the seven- furlong handicap (4.10). The market for the seven-furlong maiden (4.45) has been changed dramatically by the withdrawal of favourite Al
Wathba, leaving SPEAKERS CORNER (11-4 from 9-2) as favourite. In the fi nal race (5.20) of Glorious Goodwood 2026, punters are looking to the Saffi e Osborne- ridden BLUE COURVOISIER (4-1 from 6-1) to fi nish with a fl ourish.
eight races; Radio 5 Live updates Home in on Vale for a hat-trick
By The Scout (Melissa Jones)
VALEDICTORY (1.50) can wave goodbye to the opposition in the Highclere Castle Gin Summer Handicap on Goodwood’s fi nal day. Punters have had the upper hand at the Qatar-sponsored festival, with plenty of favourites winning across the four cards so far this week. And Valedictory could get them off to a fl yer for the second day running by landing his own hat-trick in the Godolphin blue. Unbeaten in cheekpieces, the gelding whose training is shared by John and Thady Gosden struck over course and distance in May, when future winners Too Soon (fi fth) and Align The Stars (sixth) were behind. From 5lb higher, Valedictory gained another fi rst when he was ridden out to beat two more exposed rivals by a neck and head at Newmarket. Jockey William Buick did not appear to go for everything and, up a further 3lb, my selection is progressive enough to carry it. Improving young stayer OPPORTUNITY (2.25) is upgraded to the Group Three Coral Glorious Stakes, after putting in a brilliant performance from stall one in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes. Prior to heading to Royal Ascot, the William Haggas-handled gelding had won with a bit to spare at Carlisle in May, when he crossed the line with a two-and-a-quarter length advantage. Reined back off the leaders early, he made
headway in a striking manner in Berkshire to pass fellow promising young prospect Warrant Holder and the 4lb he has to make up with this contest’s two-time hero Al Aasy is in range. WAARDAH (3.00) is backed to fi re in successive renewals of the Group Two Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes, following a run to sharpen her fi tness. That came in the Group Three Lester Piggott Fillies’ Stakes at Carlisle in May, when she was a length-and-a-half off top class grey Estrange over a trip short of her best. A few weeks later David O’Meara’s stable star franked the form in the top tier Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh and it showed Waardah, 2-2 at today’s venue, can handle quick ground. Third to Isaac Newton in a class two maiden at this fi xture last year, GHOST
MODE (4.10) is back for the Phase Eight Handicap. Still a colt, Andrew Balding’s trainee went clear by four-and-a- quarter lengths in a class two event over six furlongs at Southwell in March, hinting that he could get seven again this season. Ghost Mode was hammered by the handicapper, going up 10lb, and he trialled for the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot in May, when he seemed to resent racing alone. But there were signs he was coming back to himself with a sixth place in a red-hot handicap for three-year-olds at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. The assessor has dropped him to a more realistic mark and Rob Hornby, on-board for his seven furlong maiden victory at another easy circuit Chester, does the steering.

BACKED: Iconic Times was backed down to 2-1
lands a gamble
By David Yates
BOOKIES were left counting the cost of an on-course gamble on “absolute stick-on” Iconic Times at Wolverhampton on Thursday night. The four-year-old, running in the colours of ‘Max & Mabel’, had failed to trouble the judge on his fi rst four starts for Jennie Candlish after landing two of his 15 outings in the care of Heather Main. But punters at Dunstall Park had eyes for one horse and one horse only in the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap (Div I), backing the four-year-old, refi tted with cheekpieces and dropping into 0-60 company for the fi rst time, from 7-1 down to 2-1 favourite. And the gamble, taking an estimated £50,000 out of the betting ring, was landed as the Sean Dylan Bowen-ridden, above, gelding scored by one length. “I laid a grand at 7-1,” said Barry Pinnington, who trades on course as Pinno. “A couple of colleagues laid £6,000- £1,000, and another one laid six monkeys (£500). “You know when a horse goes from 7-1, 6-1, 5-1 and there are still people wanting to back it at 3s and 5-2 – you’re thinking, ‘This looks an absolute stick-on.’ “It leaves a sour taste – not losing, but the nature of it. I said to the kid – he looked about 21 – when he came to collect, ‘I’ve not seen you before, mate.’ “He said, ‘I don’t really understand betting!’ They just sent him down the line. I’m amazed there were enough readies in the ring to pay out.”

GUIDE: The Gosdens have won this tough handicap with Trawlerman (2022) and Sweet William (2023) in the past and VALEDICTORY looks another smart stayer in the making. The son of Cracksman had subsequent Northumberland Plate (2m, tpt) winner Align The Stars back in sixth when scoring over C&D (gd) in May and followed that with a battling victory at Newmarket (1m6f, gd-fm). There was little between Aeronautic (fourth) and Sing Us A Song (fifth) at Royal Ascot (1m6f, gd-fm) and the former is preferred to stablemate Small Fry, while Tarriance could shape well back in handicap company. 2.25 CORAL GLORIOUS STAKES (GROUP 3) £62,381 (1) 1m 3f 218yds (8) ITV1 1 715L-21 AL AASY (28) (C&D,F) 9 9 3 ...............T Marquand 119 (8) Runs: 30 Wins: 12(S,F,GS,G) Places: 7 £642,808

GUIDE: Fresh from winning a Listed event at Beverley (1m4f, gd-fm), Al Aasy bids to land this
for the third year in succession. He’ll likely make a bold bid and is preferred to stablemate
Opportunity, but GHOSTWRITER will be no pushover. The five-year-old will be sharper for his
pipe-opener in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, gd-fm) and a repeat of his third to Rebel’s
Romance in last year’s Hardwicke (1m4f, gd-fm) could see him bang there at the finish. In My
Teens travels over from Ireland with a shout at the weights and Oisin Murphy does the steering.

2025: Waardah 3-8-13, Callum Rodriguez 7-2 (Owen Burrows), drawn (3), 8 ran.
GUIDE: Waardah won this race last year (gd-sft) and is seemingly targeted for a repeat after
her second at Carlisle (1m3f, gd-fm) to the classy Estrange. Sure to improve for that first run in
seven months, she is hard to overlook but she has more to do to get the better of DANIELLE,
who was beaten less than a length 12 months ago and is 10lb better off with her conqueror now.
She won the Group 3 Bronte Cup (1m6f, gd) on her return and looks all set to get her revenge.
Irish Oaks (1m4f, gd-fm) fifth Amelia Earhart represents Aidan O’Brien and could also mount a
challenge.

Third in Group 3 company at Newbury (6f, gf) last time, he occupied the same position in the Wokingham (6f, gd-fm) prior to that when ahead of stablemate Far Above Dream (fourth). The latter is unbeaten in three previous starts at the track, while the penalised Sondad narrowly beat Dark Thirty in a tough sprint at the Curragh (6f, gd-fm) recently, although the runner-up is 5lb well-in here.

A
success in Golden Mile
RCHIVIST went into racing’s annals as the first Qatari trained – and owned – winner of the Coral Golden Mile. The 16-1 chance was saddled by Hamad Al Jehani, champion trainer in his homeland before relocating to Newmarket, and carried the colours of the Emir of Qatar’s ownership venture Wathnan Racing. Steering a wide course from his draw in stall 20, Callum Rodriguez avoided the bottlenecks on his inside, delivering the top weight to the front inside the final furlong for a one-length margin from Cerulean Bay. Al Jehani, whose four-year-old had finished 20th of 28 when as the 5-1 favourite for the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot on his latest start, said: “It is really important for us to have a winner at the Qatar Goodwood Festival. “He didn’t handle the straight mile at Ascot the last day. We know that a mile with a bend in is a great help to him as it helps him to be more comfortable throughout the race. “I was hoping to have a better draw but since it came out I was just thinking, ‘How can we win from there?’” Only two of the

previous 10 winners had been drawn higher than stall five and Rodriguez said: “The draw came out and I was a bit worried but it probably did us a favour because we got a good, smooth trip round and he felt good at every stage.” Al Jehani received Archivist from his Newmarket neighbour William Haggas, whose Silver Lake, also carrying the Wathnan livery, justified 4-5 favouritism in the concluding British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap. Talk Of New York, third to Bow Echo in Royal Ascot’s St James’s Palace Stakes, went off the 2-5 hotpot for the Group Three HKJC World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes but failed to reel in Shayem, who initiated a double for Karl Burke, completed by the Sam James- partnered Revels in the Hawes & Curtis Nursery Handicap. Joseph O’Brien and Dylan Browne McMonagle also enjoyed two winners as Defiantly landed the opening Coral Goodwood Handicap over two and a half miles before Galen fended off Burke’s Boiling Point by a neck in the Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck Conditions Stakes.

WE go into the fi nal day of what has been a great Qatar Goodwood Festival with a decent chance. HOPEWELL ROCK (1.50, Goodwood) ran with credit at Royal Ascot, but I don’t think he was quite himself on the day. He just looked a little quiet throughout the race. He has trained super since, has come out of Ascot in great shape and this has been the plan ever since he crossed the line there. It’s great to have a runner for

Wathnan Racing at a big festival for them and he goes there in super shape. TRYST (3.23, Newmarket) is our best chance of the weekend, in my opinion. She has always worked like a fi lly who is well-handicapped at home. We fi nally got her to the right trip last time when Billy [Loughnane] rode her, and I’m hoping she can cope with the rise in the weights and take another step forward. ASUKA (3.42, Thirsk) makes his
4.27 Victory Speech 5.00 Gliondar 5.35 San Aer 6.05 Cala Bonita
handicap debut, with Jack Callan taking the ride just days after riding out his claim. We think Jack has a huge future ahead of him and he’s a big part of our team. Asuka won impressively last time and starts handicapping from a mark of 89. Seven furlongs should suit him well and he should go close in what looks a slightly weak renewal.

GUIDE: Billy Loughnane won this 12 months ago on Charlie Appleby’s
Silent Love and the duo are represented again with Romantic
Symphony, a close-up second in a similar race at Longchamp (1m4f,
gd) in June. However, she did come unstuck in the Oaks Trial at
Lingfield (1m4f, gd-fm) when beaten almost 15 lengths, and she may be
inconvenienced by the same going today. Sunshine Star steps up in
class after running on over 10 furlongs in a Windsor (gd-fm) handicap
and could get a place, but the vote goes to REVOIR. Her third to Silent
Love in the Princess Royal Stakes (1m4f, gd-fm) stands out and a first-
time visor may eke out the required improvement.

GUIDE: Tuscan Hills won his only start here in 2024 (1m, gd) and, although only fifth at York (1m, gd-fm) last month, he has a chance off his new mark, but JEDDAAL is preferred. A lightly-raced three-year- old who won at Chester (1m, gd-sft) in June, he can take this before climbing up the class ladder as the season progresses. Mirsky was ruled out of the Golden Mile at Goodwood yesterday and returns to the scene of his most recent triumph in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, gd-fm). He can enter the reckoning, along with recent York winner (7f gd-fm) Northern Express and Pure Legend. 2.43 EBF NOVICE STAKES (GBB RACE) £5,400 (4) 7f 218yds (7) 1 (2) 01 LE SAMOURAI (30)(T) R Beckett 3 9 11 ............E Greatrex 2 (3) L MORTY ROBINSON (9) B Ellison 6 9 11 ...............J Garritty 3 (5) L BEN TRAVATO (13) B Ellison 3 9 4 ..............F McManoman 4 (1) 4-5 TEST RUN (16) M & D Easterby 3 9 4 ..................B Garritty 5 (4) L-L WEST SLEEKBURN LAD (57) P Niven 3 9 4 ..........C Hardie 6 (6) 5L ●BRIGHTON BEACH (22) (F) W Haggas 3 8 13 ..D Tudhope 7 (7) 22 REGAL DESIRE (39) (F) B Ellison 3 8 13 ..........B Robinson TONGUE STRAP: No. 1.
