如果她的热门剧集《泰德·拉索》能鼓励更多女性追求足球事业，汉娜·瓦丁汉姆（Hannah Waddingham）将非常高兴——但这项工作必须从学校开始。 “我上学时从不踢足球。我知道玛丽·厄普斯、利亚·威廉姆斯和吉尔·斯科特——她们都曾为了被认真对待而苦苦挣扎，”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》中饰演的令人敬畏的 AFC 里士满老板丽贝卡·韦尔顿这一角色。这部 Apple TV+ 的剧集将她推向了全球星级地位。 这位单亲母亲最近将自己在演艺圈打拼 25 年后一夜成名地描述为“美妙”，这证明她终于获得了应得的所有认可。 但在《泰德·拉索》走红之前很久，瓦丁汉姆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英寸的表演实力派曾在《Doctors》、《Hollyoaks》和《Benidorm》等电视常驻剧集中客串，随后在全球热门剧集《性教育》和《权力的游戏》中贡献了令人难忘的演出。她也是一名深受尊敬的西区之星。 但真正让 51 岁的瓦丁汉姆名声大噪的是将于 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，”她说。“我很庆幸这没有在我 20, 25, 30 岁时发生，因为现在的我知道自己是谁。” 这种自信是她深受粉丝喜爱的原因之一。就像《泰德·拉索》中说话强硬的丽贝卡一样，这位演员并不害怕为自己挺身而出。
— 在 2024 年主持奥利弗奖之前，她斥责了一名要求她在红毯上“露腿”的摄影师。 她说：“朋友，你永远不会对一个男人这么说。别那么混蛋。” 摄影师后来道歉了，但这次风波给原本应该是她最自豪的时刻之一蒙上了阴影。“我正准备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（一个露腿的对象），而不是紧随其后的现场表演，而那是我人生中最伟大的成就之一，”她说。 这位女演员与前伴侣、意大利酒店业者 Gianluca Cugnetto 有一名 11 岁的女儿 Kitty，她最近表示：“作为社会中的女性，我们年长者需要鼓励年轻人，确保我们受到尊重。” 多年来，母亲的身份被放在首位，但
尽管汉娜在 2014 年 Kitty 出生后将她的戏剧工作搁置，但她说在兼顾表演和育儿时，她感到很纠结。 “我准备离开去为《泰德·拉索》的下一季做宣传，于是‘母亲的愧疚感’袭来了，”她上个月说。“但我必须尝试去克服它。” 在单身八年后，汉娜目前正与脊柱外科医生 Nick Beresford-Cleary 约会。 她将这段关系描述为“真的、真的非常美好”。 由杰森·苏戴基斯饰演足球教练泰德的新系列《泰德·拉索》将聚焦于执教一支女子球队——听起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，我再也无法陪伴的唯一一个人就是丽贝卡。思念一个只有在你扮演他时才存在的角色，这种感觉非常奇怪！”
KATIE LAM 肯特郡威尔德选区 保守党议员
成千上万的非法移民（绝大多数为年轻男性）涌入西班牙塞乌塔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来更多同样的局面。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大赦。他们预计将有 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，经由海路抵达塞乌塔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，并且得益于欧盟新的《迁移与庇护公约》，他们将扩散到整个欧洲大陆，所有欧盟国家都有义务接收其中一部分，或者在其他方面协助（并出资）安置他们。
那么，非法越境进入西班牙究竟有什么可能的威慑力？这对我们自己的政府来说应该是一个警钟，而令人耻辱的是，我们的政府基本上在犯与西班牙政府相同的错误。
工党在执政后立即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，只有不到六分之一被驱逐出境。现在，内政大臣在讨论开放更多“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示，如果国家政府不严肃对待其边境，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大规模的移民。如果我们想防止欧洲的移民危机加剧我们自身的边境危机，我们就必须明确：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此处的人。如果我们现在不采取行动，西班牙自找的移民危机可能很快就会波及我们的海岸。
“正如 西班牙 可悲的 例子 所示，如果国家政府 不严肃对待其边境， 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 会有更大规模的 移民。如果我们想 防止欧洲的移民危机 加剧我们自身的 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”犯了与西班牙相同的错误。数十人在地中海溺亡，试图突破摩洛哥与西班牙自治市塞乌塔的边境，他们从法尼德克 (Fnideq) 沿北非海岸游泳。周四晚上，随着人群冲过水中的尸体进入塔拉哈尔 (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。其他移民在踩踏事故中丧生。
随着西班牙向塞乌塔——距离其大陆加的斯省仅 11 英里——派遣军队和警察部队，意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼要求将马德里政府剔除出开放边境的申根区。随后她关闭了意大利与西班牙的海路和航路连接。
影子内政部大臣拉姆女士告诉《每日快报》：“这应该是给我们
自己政府的一个警钟。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，只有不到六分之一被驱逐。 “现在内政大臣在讨论开放更多‘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
非法入境者将永远不被允许留在这里。这意味着我们要退出 [《欧洲人权公约》]，并迅速将每一个非法抵达这里的人遣返。” 内政部消息人士表示，在塞乌塔的移民如果通过地中海抵达英国的直布罗陀领地，将无法在英国申请庇护。 西班牙内政部表示， 37,500 名进入塞乌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散布着浮标、鞋子和被遗弃的财物。 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。 西班牙首相 Pedro Sanchez
将此次危机归咎于人口贩子，称他们“最终导致许多 [移民] 走向死亡”。 但批评者将此归咎于西班牙法院的一项裁决，该裁决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。 西班牙最近的移民特赦导致在 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。 昨晚有人担心，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》，他们可能会被重新分配到整个欧洲大陆，且成员国必须承担其份额。 批评者坚持认为，这可能会消除任何能有效阻止移民最初非法跨越国境进入西班牙的威慑力。 奈杰尔·法拉格（Nigel Farage）表示：“申根协议为这些移民提供了前往加来的便捷路线，除非我们退出 ECHR，否则我们根本无法阻止他们。他们将全部在加来排队跨越英吉利海峡，非法进入英国。”
这位英国改革党负责人补充道：“我支持我的朋友乔治亚·梅洛尼（Giorgia Meloni）和 [法国国民联盟主席] 乔丹·巴尔德拉（Jordan Bardella），他们表示将采取非常措施来阻止这次入侵。” 欧盟主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩（Ursula von der Leyen）表示，“来自塞乌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来到我们的联盟。危险的跨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。” 而梅洛尼女士表示：“来自塞乌塔的画面令人震惊，并再次证明，失控的非法移民对欧洲边境的安全构成了现实威胁。 “意大利不会坐视不管。我们准备采取干预措施，以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：“这是一次前所未有的洪水般涌入。如果我们不结束这种天真的移民政策，塞乌塔就是欧洲的未来。面对这一紧急情况，欧盟必须立即”
盲人醉驾者 在高速公路上 行驶了 150 英里
作者：詹姆斯·康诺利 (JAMES CONNOLLY)
一名盲人醉驾者在深夜通过跟随货车的尾灯行驶了 150 英里，随后警察发现他向硬路肩漂移。
安东尼·霍尔 (Anthony Hall)，49 岁，在未经允许的情况下开走其伴侣的汽车，从西约克郡的哈德斯菲尔德出发，尽管他被登记为盲人，且没有驾照且没有保险。在向坎布里亚郡行驶的过程中，他的血液酒精浓度也超过了法定限额。法庭听证称，在这次高速公路旅途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 车的霍尔。警员观察到该车在车道之间漂移并向硬路肩靠近。当他们将其拦停时，霍尔承认自己喝了葡萄酒。
他的呼吸中每 100 毫升含有 46mcg 的酒精。法定限额为 35mcg。随后，他向警员透露自己已经失明两年，并表示是通过跟随重型货车 (HGV) 的灯光在高速公路上导航，令警员大为震惊。
来自哈德斯菲尔德的霍尔在卡莱尔的里克盖特治安法院出庭，他在那里承认了危险驾驶、醉驾、无证驾驶或无保险驾驶，以及未经同意擅自使用伴侣汽车。
量刑被推迟至 9 月 8 日，霍尔在此时被处以临时禁驾。
“对抗引渡”
作者：伊齐·艾迪森 (IZZIE ADDISON)
据称，一名英国男子正在对抗被引渡回英国，以面对在塞浦路斯的英国皇家空军 (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，44 岁的拉沙德·苏尔塔诺夫 (Rashad Sultanov) 拥有英国和阿塞拜疆双重国籍，被指控在 RAF Akrotiri 进行敌对监视，并与伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队共享信息。
来自北伦敦伊斯灵顿的苏尔塔诺夫于 7 月 17 日被捕，目前在引渡程序进行期间被拘留。
据报道，他于周四在利马索尔地区法院出庭，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主导的一项调查针对去年 5 月 11 日至 6 月 22 日期间该关键空军基地发生的事件。
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，不法殡葬业者罗伯特·布什 (Robert Bush) 只是一个不受监管行业的“冰山一角”，该行业在丧亲家庭最脆弱的时候利用信任进行交易。
布什，48 岁，在法庭听证他以“近乎工业规模”地违背信任后，于昨日被判处 20 年监禁。
他在尸体本应火化后将其保留数月，将错误的骨灰交给亲属，并收取殡葬计划的费用却不做任何安排。他甚至窃取在追悼会上收集的慈善捐款。
在某些情况下，他将骨灰混淆，并使用公共存储点，交给那些从他的公司（位于赫尔的 Legacy Independent Funeral Directors）要求领取亲人遗骸的家庭。
露西·内斯 (Lucy Ness) 是四名在失去未出世婴儿后被给错骨灰的悲痛女性之一，警察告诉她，布什归还给她的东西被认为是动物遗骸。
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。
谁让尸体腐烂
作者：PAUL JEEVES
四位心碎的母亲在面对其婴儿遗体被“社会败类”罗伯特·布什（Robert Bush）冷酷无情地对待后，讲述了对他恶劣罪行的恐惧。 这位堕落的殡葬公司老板交付了假骨灰，囤积尸体并伪造记录。 28, 岁的露西·内斯（Lucy Ness）在一次流产后，原以为她的噩梦已经无法变得更糟，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，布什承诺会妥善处理遗体。然而，露西得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在了哪里，还是直接被扔进了垃圾桶，就让我感到恶心，”她抽泣着说道。 28, 岁的凯蒂·伍尔斯顿（Katie Woolston）在第四次流产后寻求了他的服务。她后来得知，根本没有她的孩子被火化的记录，并担心她的孩子被布什扔进了垃圾桶。她收到的一盒骨灰甚至根本不是她孩子的。
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“确定”在针对大卫·富勒（David Fuller）罪行的独立调查之后会出现更多案件；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。 全国大约有 5,800 家殡仪馆分支机构，其中约 3,000 家是独立企业。 英国最大供应商 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。如果出现更多类似案件，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制度。 他说：“令人难以置信的是，由于有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我的殡仪馆业务还要困难。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：“大多数殡葬专业人员以同情心、尊严和诚信服务家庭。然而，确实存在少数坏演员，他们面对的是没有任何预防措施或监管的环境，这意味着执法总是在伤害已经造成之后才介入。” 布什的受害者们要求设立一个独立的法定监管机构，对所有殡葬服务提供者和场所实施强制许可，进行具有实际执法权的定期检查，并确保标准和合规性的完全透明。 首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）承诺将考虑设立监管机构，并表示布什案让他感到“真正震惊”。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在执行，且不能让之前发生的情况再次重演。” 当布什在 2024 年 3 月被捕时，他对监管的缺失嗤之以鼻，告诉警方：“我们是一个高度缺乏监管的行业。”他是在一名临时工向警方举报后才被抓获的，随后警方在他前往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，以及 100 多个散落在地板上的骨灰袋。 布什在希思罗机场落地时被拘留，他向警方抱怨道：“我就像切·格瓦拉之类的人物一样。我没那么复杂。” 他后来承认：“整件事是糟糕的选择、处境和债务共同推向的高潮。” 当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：“我本该联系丧葬服务部门并告知他们发生了什么，但随后……”
她质问道：“你把我的孩子放在哪里了？” 当 40 岁的 Jasmine Beverley 失去儿子 Sunny 时，她信任 Bush，因为他曾处理过她父亲的葬礼。她以为她的孩子已经火化，但两年后，Sunny 的遗体在冷藏室地板上的一个袋子中被发现。 她说：“我面对的现实是，我的宝贝儿子 Sunny 在你手里的时间比在自己家人身边的时间还要长。” 28 岁的 Stacey Foster 在怀孕 17 周时失去了未出生的儿子 Tommy。她不得不连续数周催促 Legacy 交付他的骨灰。Bush 最终交付了一个盒子，并将其归咎于文书工作延迟。 Stacey 对重量产生怀疑，后来在拨打警察求助热线当天才发现她的孩子并没有被火化。Bush 给她的是一个陌生人的骨灰，而她已将其制成了纪念首饰。 她说：“他是人间垃圾。”
“我会揭露一切的。”在赫尔刑事法院（Hull crown court）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，Bush 与妻子共同领取了总计 £210,000 的薪水，他还向 220 多人出售了欺诈性的丧葬计划，将钱款私吞-
SABINE GROVEN 来自 Pure Cremation
在这个过程中，他骗走了超过 £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)、麦基伦癌症支持中心 (Macmillan Cancer Support)、英雄援助组织 (Help for Heroes) 和英国皇家国家救生协会 (RNLI)。
对他财务状况的一项调查显示，在七年时间里，布什 (Bush) 将 £42,000 挥霍在假期上，£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以及盗窃的罪名。此前他已承认 30 项与在现场发现的遗体相关的虚假陈述诈骗罪，以及四项“胎儿指控”——即他向女性提供骨灰，并谎称那是她们未出生婴儿的遗骸。
布什还承认了另一项诈骗指控，涉及 2017 年至 2024 年间 57 人的骨灰，以及一项与 2012 年至 2024 年间殡葬计划相关的欺诈交易罪。
在昨天的判决中，希拉德 (Hilliard) 法官表示：“如果警察没有干预，这种行径将会继续下去。”
亲属们表示，布什的刑期不够长。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，她说布什应该被判处“至少 30 年——每一个人至少一年”。
她补充道：“他这样做纯粹是因为贪婪。”
乔安娜·穆迪 (Joanne Moody) 的父亲彼得 (Peter) 是在 Legacy 发现的遗体之一，她称布什的判决“令人发指”。她补充道：“简直是个笑话，他 10 年后就出狱了。我们任何人都没有得到公正——等他出狱时，我们都还活着。”
凯伦·德赖 (Karen Dry) 此前表示，她不确定在父母艾伦 (Allan) 和贝蒂·格里芬 (Betty Griffin) 几年前相继去世后，她收到的骨灰是否真的是他们的，她作为 Hull 35 团体的一员，为其他受害者发声。
她号召当地国会议员要求对布什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。
德赖女士说：“目前依赖于薄弱的行为准则，完全无法在脆弱的家庭处于最深切的悲痛和脆弱时期时保护他们。”

照顾逝者是目前最重要、最敏感的工作之一。难道没有人监督它是如何操作的吗？但遗憾的是，事实并非如此。
没有强制性的资格认证，没有常规检查，也没有关于逝者进入殡葬服务人员照管后必须如何对待的国家标准。这在家庭的预期与法律的要求之间留下了巨大的空白——现在是时候填补这一空白了。
兽医受到监管，物理治疗师、驾车教练、房地产经纪人和大学讲师也是如此。但殡葬服务人员没有受到监管，只需要注册一家企业即可。
在没有任何正式培训、资格证书或执照的情况下，他们就可以从医院、临终关怀中心或家中接走逝者，将其安置在自己的场所，准备遗体，安排仪式，并将逝者送往火葬场或公墓。
法律并不要求将逝者安置在温控的冷藏停尸房中，也不要求逝者从一开始就安静地躺在自己崭新的棺材里。
业内有像 NAFD、BIFD 和 SAIF 这样著名的行业组织。他们提供会员资格并发布指南。但他们不是监管机构。他们不能强制要求殡仪馆安装冷藏设备。他们不能强迫员工进行 DBS 背景审查。而且如果出现问题，他们无法阻止某人继续经营。
因此，当家庭选择殡葬服务人员时，他们信任的人在法律上的唯一职责与其他任何小企业主相同。
大多数殡葬服务人员都是正直、敬业的人，他们在工作中投入了真正的关怀。
但法律确立的监管机制应当存在，以确保该职业中的每个人都能达到或超过要求的标准。
创 2022 年以来 最高纪录
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水平。
RAC 表示，每升汽油的平均成本为 160p——而中东冲突于 28 日开始时，该价格为 132.8p。
自 6, 日人们希望石油危机有所缓解以来，每升价格上涨了 9.4p。
上一次价格高于当前水平是在 2022 年 11 月。
柴油价格平均为每升 179p，比 15 日冲突期间的最高点 191.5p 低 12.5p。
RAC 政策负责人 Simon Williams 表示：“为家庭轿车加满无铅汽油的成本已上涨至 £88。”
AA 的 Luke Bosdet 表示，燃料成本的增加“时机非常糟糕”，因为预计下周将有超过 20 million 英国驾驶者在夏季假期期间出行。
他敦促驾驶者通过使用由政府 Fuel Finder 服务支持的价格比较应用来“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。
超级大使馆计划失败
作者：RHIANNON JAMES
在失去对授予规划许可的高等法院挑战后，伦敦中国超级大使馆的批评者誓言将继续战斗。
律师们已开始工作，申请对昨天的判决提出上诉。
该地块位于伦敦塔对面，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会将目标对准在英国的中国异见人士。他们对住房部和塔哈姆莱茨区（Borough of Tower Hamlets）采取了法律行动，但双方均辩称已“仔细考虑”居民的担忧。
代表 100 处房产的居民和公司的 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 Priti Patel 女士表示：“法院的决定是对 安迪·伯纳姆 的一次明确考验。他是否会将我国利益放在首位，顶住北京的压力，保护我们的国家安全，并通过放弃此项计划来做正确的事？”

设立一项授予在执行任务中受伤的应急服务工作者的英勇勋章正向现实迈进，这对《每日快报》的“荣誉 999 英雄”活动是一个重大助力。
在活动人士、国会议员与警务部长 Sarah Jones 的第二次会晤后，该奖项将提交至评审小组，这是提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“琐碎问题”，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察、消防员和急救人员设立的正式奖项。有些人因为身体和精神创伤而被迫离职。
许多人向本报讲述了令人心酸的故事，他们离开自己热爱的工作，最终却感到被遗忘和抛弃。
关于该奖项现在将由委员会讨论的公告，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。
他为受伤同事争取认可已奋斗了近四年。
Tom 表示：“这次会晤以及部长的 100% 支持，以及《每日快报》的支持，让我倍感鼓舞，我相信这件事一定会实现。”
“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，没有任何勋章或其他认可来证明他们的服务。”
“我们欠他们的不止于此，这一国家级的丑闻有望很快得到纠正，通过一个”
一枚简单的奖章。这是该议题首次提交至荣誉委员会。委员会面临三种选择：他们可以将该议题呈交国王批准，要求提供进一步信息，或者予以拒绝。
“鉴于此议题已在议会中讨论并获得一致支持，极不可能被拒绝。”
去年 11 月，下议院讨论了一项关于执行任务中受伤奖励的动议。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消息。
Deborah Adlam 的儿子，警察 Andrew Harper 在 2019 年于伯克希尔的一次袭击中，试图拦截一群窃贼使用的逃逸车时殉职。
这位自豪的母亲在 2024 年获得了伊丽莎白勋章，该奖项旨在表彰已故紧急服务人员的家属。
她表示，为执行任务中受伤人员引入奖项的前景，带来了“重新燃起的希望，最终目标终于近在咫尺”。
Deborah 的儿子因两名被判过失杀人罪的男子可能在政府目前已暂停的计划下提前获释而成为新闻焦点，她补充道：“我想向所有将从中受益的警员致敬。”

在BP将其北海业务挂牌出售后，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盆地 60 年的生产，保守党警告称，这必须成为一次“警钟”。
该党敦促首相 Andy Burnham 为该地区开展更多的石油和天然气钻探开绿灯。
但当被问及对这次震惊市场的出售行动的反应时，Burnham 先生并未给出明确承诺，表示他对钻探的未来将采取“务实”态度，并正在审视“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，且存在与能源利润税相关的问题。”
“我对北海的态度将是务实的。当人们陷入困境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，而在于它们来自哪里？”影子商业大臣 Andrew Griffith 表示：“这是一个极其严肃的警钟。”
“英国需要在能源、资本和人才方面展开竞争——但政府却在继续监管、提高税收并阻碍投资。工党根本不懂商业。”

影子能源大臣 Andrew Bowie 补充道：“BP 在英国海域钻探已有六十年之久，但由于工党灾难性的净零教条，它正面临灭绝。”
“安迪·伯纳姆应该与过去决裂，采取保守党所呼吁的行动，立即批准 Jackdaw 和 Rosebank 场地的开发，并取消禁止在北海发放新许可证的计划。”
英国改革党副党魁 Richard Tice 表示，潜在的出售是“对英国失败能源战略的又一次沉痛控诉”，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：“北海仍有数十亿桶石油和天然气等待开采，但由于某种奇怪的原因，本届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规模战略的一部分。
BP 的美国首席执行官 Meg O’Neill 于 4 月加入该公司，她表示认为北海业务“作为另一家公司的一部分将具有更好的定位”。
在此公告之前，伯纳姆先生在确认与美国总统 Donald Trump 的首次通话中告知对方“我们不能忽视”北海资源时，暗示了未来的北海钻探可能性。
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证。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。它们在 2025 年每天生产约 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 Chris Beauchamp 将此次出售决定描述为“分水岭时刻”。他表示：“当 BP 都不愿留下来观察政府是否能重启英国的能源政策时，这就说明了很多问题。”
能源大臣 Miatta Fahnbulleh 上月接替了备受争议的净零狂热分子 Ed Miliband，她表示：“我正与 BP 保持密切联系，并已明确我的首要任务是确保在这次出售过程中，工人及当地社区得到保护。”
Andrew Griffi th 将 BP 出售称为一次“警钟”
犹太团体在 Diane Abbott 被重新接纳进工党后表示，他们“非常悲伤且非常担忧”。
这位资深国会议员在去年 7 月因卷入反犹太主义争议而被暂停党籍，原因是在重复发表此前已道歉的关于犹太人的言论。
Abbott 女士现年 72 岁，她在 2023 年首次被剥夺工党党鞭资格，此前她在给一家报纸的信中暗示犹太人、爱尔兰人和旅行者（Traveller）经历的是偏见而非种族主义。
这位黑克尼北区和斯托克纽因顿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持自己并不后悔该事件时，她再次被踢出党外。
英国犹太代表委员会主席 Phil Rosenberg 表示：“我感到悲伤，因为在很多方面，Diane Abbott 是一个标志性人物——任职时间最长的女性国会议员，首位黑人女性国会议员，以及‘议会之母’。”
“因此，你希望我们能在打击各种形式的种族主义方面找到共同目标。”
“但在反犹太主义升温、甚至出现致命反犹太主义的时刻，她一次又一次地发表这些对犹太社区具有冒犯性的言论。”
犹太领导委员会补充道：“Diane Abbott 在她坚持此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。”
该组织还补充说，新任首相安迪·伯纳姆“必须解释，恢复 Diane Abbott 的党鞭资格如何能与其对反犹太主义‘零容忍’的方法保持一致”。
Abbott 女士在声明中说：“我一直且将始终是一名终身反种族主义者，并依然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正式流程办理的，与伯纳姆先生成为党魁无关。
批准 青春期 抑制剂试验
作者：CALLUM PARKE
一名高等法院法官昨日驳回了活动人士发起的法律挑战，这意味着一项针对青少年的青春期抑制剂临床试验将继续进行。
Pathways 试验将让 220 名患有性别不一致症的儿童接受抑制青春期的激素治疗。此前的一项审查发现，关于使用青春期抑制剂的证据不足，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 (Health Research Authority) 和卫生部提起法律诉讼，但该诉求在法院被驳回。
查伯林法官 (Mr Justice Chamberlain) 在总结中表示：“该试验由 NHS England 委托，并由其共同赞助方在与其他专家机构协商后，以极其谨慎的态度设计完成。”
“参与者将是正在接受专科服务治疗且患有持续性性别不一致症的儿童。”
“每名儿童都将经过专科医生的数月评估。在每个案例中，治疗团队都将形成结论，认为该儿童有合理的临床获益前景。”
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其首份预算案，并承诺将“把资金和权力移出 威斯敏斯特 (Westminster)”。
希利先生在昨日确认日期的同时承诺，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 (Andy Burnham) 的权力下放优先事项及增加国防开支寻找更多资金方面，面临重大挑战。

如果说吉安尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 有什么做得很好的一点，那就是激怒他人。从票价到与唐纳德·特朗普之间过于亲密的私人关系，人们很容易认为这位国际足联 (Fifa) 主席的任务就是尽可能地得罪更多的人。
但正如欧洲足联 (Uefa) 所言，这一次因凡蒂诺“越界”了，他做了一件主席绝不该做的事：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然发生在决赛两周后？就在他有几天没引起风波之时，有消息称，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。
这在足球界引起了轩然大波。当确认国际足联将在 9 月中旬之前，为签署所谓的“国际足联前行企业计划”(Fifa Forward Enterprise) 的国家提供额外资金时，这种愤怒翻了一番。
欧洲足联率先反击。这个与国际足联长期不和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。在与所有 55 个成员国举行紧急会议后，它承诺如果该计划被强行通过，将抵制未来的赛事。
“
中北美及加勒比足联（Concacaf）虽然没有采取抵制行动，但表示反对该方案。亚洲足联随后跟进，因此该计划似乎已陷入僵局……但考虑到因凡蒂诺在察觉氛围方面记录相当糟糕，且 / 或并不特别在意公众认知，如果他继续强行推进，是否令人惊讶？这是借鉴了特朗普的剧本，而我们知道他多么崇拜这位美国总统。尽管欧足联国家对其候选资格表示反对，但他一直拥有来自全球南方国家的相当大的支持。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，其中一方因安全担忧而被禁止在比赛后留在美国——他的信用开始见底。因凡蒂诺对这项投资计划抱有盲目的信心，认为过去支持他的人会为其垫底。但他们一眼就看穿了。不仅提案岌岌可危，因凡蒂诺的主席之位亦然。一个行走在死亡路上的男人。
在国际足联（Fifa）老板的高级顾问因其世界杯“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）并非领导国际足联的合适人选。
这位首相称，将赛事股份出售给私人投资者的计划是一个极其荒唐的想法。
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。
因凡蒂诺已启动一项磋商，旨在成立一家独立的 200 亿美元公司来运行其赛事，该公司将被命名为“国际足联前行企业”（Fifa Forward Enterprise）。
卡洛斯·科尔代罗（Carlos Cordeiro）作为他的高级顾问之一，
作者：杰里米·阿姆斯特朗（JEREMY ARMSTRONG）和 菲尔·卡迪（PHIL CARDY）
为了抗议该计划而辞职。当被问及是否认为因凡蒂诺应该随其顾问一起离职时，伯纳姆先生表示：
“我的看法在加强——这是一个极其荒唐的建议。在我看来，这个想法竟然能被提出，就表明国际足联（主席）是领导该组织的错误人选。”
伯纳姆先生是第一个公开质疑因凡蒂诺地位的大国领导人。欧洲足协已经威胁要抵制未来的国际足联赛事，而美国足球协会主席科尔代罗在辞职时表示，因凡蒂诺的计划是“足球的一场糟糕交易”。
科尔代罗的辞职是在亚洲足联表示其与欧洲以及中北美及加勒比地区同行“团结一致”之后。
然而，国际足联坚称：
“没有人在出卖足球。这是国际足联永远不会考虑的事情。”
亚洲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，而亚洲足联、中北美及加勒比足联和欧足联总共有 136 个成员。
科尔代罗曾担任国际足联高级顾问近五年，并且是今年世界杯的白宫工作组人员，该届世界杯由西班牙队夺冠。
这位前高盛投资银行家表示：“国际足联的职责不是不计代价地最大化商业回报，而是为后代保护和加强足球。”
“当这些原则发生冲突时，足球必须放在首位。”

安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 实在没忍住。他脱口而出那些可能在他入主唐宁街期间成为沉重负担的致命之词。 这位首相表示，工党 (Labour) 结束英吉利海峡移民危机的计划正在发挥作用。然而在随后的 24 小时内，有 752 名移民抵达，创下今年纪录。 与此同时，在约 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，究竟什么在发挥作用？ 针对这个问题的答案——以及矛盾之处——就隐藏在边境安全指挥官邓肯·卡普斯 (Duncan Capps) 向内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈穆德 (Shabana Mahmood) 提交的一份报告中。 报告披露，在由伯纳姆先生的前任基尔·斯塔默爵士 (Sir Keir Starmer) 和马哈穆德女士实施的“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：“试点评估正在进行中，现在观察该计划对移民 / 有组织犯罪集团意图的显著影响还为时过早，因为试行阶段仍在扩大规模。” 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。
“
毁灭性
英国和法国的联合行动导致 48 名“有组织移民犯罪促进者”被捕——卡普斯先生表示，其中许多人“在组织船只出发或提供船只和发动机方面发挥了关键作用”。 敦刻尔克和加来地区巡逻的加强，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就从仓库（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”——或巨型小艇——以“充分利用可用资源”。在伯纳姆先生做出声明后的 36 小时里，这种情况产生了毁灭性的后果。 一名非洲移民在沿着法国海岸乘坐小艇行驶 16 小时后死亡，他在从加恩北部的圣欧宾-叙-梅尔 (Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer) 出发，行驶了 124 英里，随后在布洛涅南部的阿尔德洛 (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 (Daily Express)，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·艾杰马尔 (Haji Ajmal) 补充道： “当需求量大时，我们当然会承担风险。 “有很多人，尤其是来自阿富汗的人，想来欧洲。 “他们想去英国……因为有报道说英国的款待非常好，包括酒店。” 内政部本周对此次危机做出回应，称小船移民的遣返人数创下了“纪录”。 在截至 6 月的一年里，有 2,750 名通过海峡抵达的人员被移除。 但是，正如每日快报 (Daily Express) 所披露的，这些人中极少被遣返回到那些构成海峡穿越人数最大群体的国家。
在 2018 到 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日益依赖法国，不仅是为了阻止移民跨越英吉利海峡，而且是为了接回那些“在历史上非常难以遣返”的人。
然而，尽管在谈论增加遣返人数，但仍有数万人不太可能被驱逐出境。牛津大学移民观察站的研究显示，在 2018 到 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 名叙利亚人跨越了英吉利海峡。
这突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在很大程度上取决于外部因素，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国家，即使其寻求庇护的申请失败，根据国际法也无法被遣返。”
这就是为什么如此多的争论往往集中在英国是否应继续身为《欧洲人权公约》成员国这一点上——托利党领导人凯米·巴德诺克本周再次强调了这一点。伯纳姆先生表示，跨海人数比去年下降了 42%。但工党计划的一个关键部分是降低对英国的需求。
移民将被强制偿还其酒店住宿费用，且如果他们被授予难民身份，他们将面临更长久的定居权等待期。
马哈茂德女士告诉庇护官员，当家庭单位是在其不具备在英国合法居留权时建立的，那么对于《欧洲人权公约》下关于家庭生活权利的第 8 条主张，应给予“零权重”考虑。
马哈茂德女士表示，既然“人们能够做出贡献并偿还英国人民的慷慨，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 亿英镑 billion 的庇护费用。
但本周的混乱局面表明，数千人仍然愿意冒生命危险跨越英吉利海峡。而且，直到非法移民意识到他们无法留在英国之前，走私者将继续为他们提供进入路线。
那些让一名男子在橡皮艇上坐了 16 小时最终导致其死亡的罪犯，不会因为增加警察巡逻而停止。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，这只是在尝试限制损失。

摩洛哥移民激增 凸显边境薄弱之危
60,000名移民非法进入西班牙飞地塞乌塔（Ceuta）的震惊场面，让欧洲领导人们意识到了边境薄弱的现实。
这些男女及儿童在短短24小时内抵达该市，其中许多人佩戴着通常用于度假的游泳圈游泳进入。
塞乌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。
该地区的居民陷入恐慌，因为当地80,000的人口仅比来自摩洛哥的入境人数多出一点。
这次涌入显然受到了西班牙最高法院一项裁决的鼓舞，该裁决认为通过水路抵达意味着移民不能被立即遣返回其原籍国。
意大利的乔治亚·梅洛尼（Giorgia Meloni）希望西班牙被暂停申根自由旅行区的成员资格，并得到了芬兰的支持。与此同时，法国加强了与其西班牙边境的管制。
西班牙首相佩德罗·桑切斯（Pedro Sanchez）长期以来推行门户开放政策，向超过一百万名非法移民提供大赦。
但这位社会主义者的慷慨举措给该集团的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发了警报。
英国选择不加入申根协议是正确的，离开该集团意味着我们不是其寻求庇护者配额计划的一部分。但成功抵达欧洲大陆的非法移民可以自由前往法国，并在那里尝试乘小船跨境。
今天这也许是一场西班牙危机，但其邻国，以及最终的英国，将在接下来的几个月里面临这一问题。
999奖章近在咫尺
很少有人像我们的应急服务人员那样，日复一日地冒生命危险。每一次999电话都可能给响应的警员、消防员和急救人员带来潜在风险。
因此，令人惊讶的是，此前竟然没有一枚奖章来表彰那些在执行公务期间受伤的人员。现在，《每日快报》的“表彰我们的999英雄”（Honour Our 999 Heroes）运动，以及前警官汤姆·库里（Tom Curry）等活动人士，即将纠正这一错误。
数千人在服务期间受伤后，因生理和心理创伤而被迫离开岗位，许多人感到被遗弃。但一项奖项将提交给荣誉委员会，预计委员会将给出积极看法。
这对许多人来说是好消息，包括德博拉·阿德拉姆（Deborah Adlam），她的儿子警察安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper）在试图拦截盗贼驾驶的逃逸车时不幸牺牲。比起大多数人，她更懂得原本平凡的一天轮班如何演变成毁灭性的打击。
我们希望这些勇敢的男女最终能获得他们应有的认可。
美食节目遭遇抨击
马可·皮埃尔·怀特（Marco Pierre White）是他那个时代最出色的厨师，但他也了解名人世界的运作方式。因此，他对受欢迎的美食节目《顶级厨师》（MasterChef）不屑一顾，嘲讽其为真人秀，这令人惊讶。
这是一款轻娱乐节目，这也是数百万人喜爱它的原因，而非严肃的烹饪技巧展示。毕竟，如果节目中出现数小时枯燥的切洋葱过程，观众流泪的原因就完全不对了。
Time to make some
艰难的决定， 安迪，你们不是朋友！ 安迪，你们不是朋友！
安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 并没有在犹豫。自从在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，我们的新任首相显得多么亲切且真实。
这些公告的成本正在攀升——取消电费中的增值税将花费 £850 million，恢复 £2 的公交车票价格上限将超过 5 亿英镑m，结束露宿街头需要 3.4 亿英镑m，而将酒吧和俱乐部的商业税率降低 20% 则又是 1 亿英镑m。而且，所有这些都还没有包括拟议中的国家护理服务 (National Care Service) 的巨额成本、增加更多市政房屋建设，以及到 2035 年将国防开支提高到 GDP 的 3.5%。
无论你认为这些想法是好是坏——我认为这是一个综合的结果——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难点所在。
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，才能全面了解他将如何平衡账目。
但我们已经得到了一些线索——为了资助他正在探索的成本极其高昂的社会护理改革，怀特霍尔 (Whitehall) 的官员们已经制定了一项新的 1.8% 所得税计划。
必须做出取舍。国家支出正陷入失控。仅在6月份，政府债务的利息支出就达到了 £11.8billion——也就是说，每小时支出 1640 万英镑m。
在全英国，有超过一百万名 16-24 岁的年轻人是 NEET 族——即不在教育、就业或培训中。现在人口中每四个人就有一个声称是残疾人，而申请残疾福利的劳动年龄人口数量自疫情以来大幅飙升——从 2.800 万 增加到近四百万。
如果伯纳姆想要让金融市场放心，证明英国不是一个正走向债务危机的国际弃儿，那么他需要讨论的就是如何扭转这一局面。
然而，伯纳姆解决青年失业的计划涉及更多的福利——每年高达 £4,500 ——这将发放给那些孩子成为学徒的领取通用信贷 (Universal Credit) 的父母。
新首相拒绝了对残疾福利进行“粗暴”的削减，或具体减少个人独立支付 (PIP) 的权利，尽管事实是心理健康是最大的申请类别，且目前有超过五十万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到 GDP 的 0.7%，这将每年增加 £14bn 的成本。 当像巴基斯坦这样拥有自己太空计划的核大国——作为我们援助的回报——竟然不愿意接回他们自己的国民，比如我们目前正试图但未能驱逐出境的罗奇代尔诱拐团伙头目沙比尔·艾哈迈德时，我觉得我们的慷慨被滥用了。 俗话说，“治理就是选择”。伯纳姆给人留下的强烈印象是一个讨好者，一个太想被别人喜欢的人。 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职责不同，他现在不仅负责花钱，还负责筹钱。在税收负担处于 70 年多来的最高水平时，他不应该从劳动人民身上榨取更多。 虽然压榨富人很诱人，但现实是，可以针对的真正富人越来越少了。
本周我们得知，英国百万富翁的总数已降至 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 年的一百万多人。富人在离开，并带走了潜在的税收。 在决定资金来源之前，伯纳姆不能像个醉酒的水手一样继续挥霍。 这将要求他停止试图与每个人做朋友，转而对那些继续相信“钱树魔术”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，且只显示他们的背影。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自己身上？ ■
依然是关于哈里和梅根——保护他们的费用让加拿大纳税人承受的负担超过了任何其他 VIP，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，这笔惊人的 £403,383 支出（加拿大皇家骑警的成本）产生了。 这对夫妇真的没有重要到让任何地方的纳税人为陪伴他们的这种可疑乐趣而掏钱。 下次他们想访问时，各国应该礼貌地拒绝。

任何担心我们的新首相像个没 arms 的人一样花钱的人，这种担心都是正确的。“北方之王”在资金上简直是一场车祸，他离开曼彻斯特时留下了 £1.34billion 的债务——使该地区成为英格兰所有综合当局中债务水平最高的地区。 在他担任首相的第一周，他就已经花费了 £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）请求救助。
扎克·波兰斯基是一个危险的小丑。警察决定不起诉他（简直是疯狂！），因为他转发了一张某个疯狂活动分子的照片，对方穿着一件印有断头台图案的 T 恤，上面写着：“我们只是在为奈杰制定计划。” 考虑到安·威德康伯被残忍杀害仅三周，这令人震惊。但这是“双轨制执法”的完美例子——左派一套，右派一套。因为如果那件 T 恤上写的是：“我们只是在为安迪制定计划”，扎克眨眼之间就会被关进监狱。

自与《泰德·拉索》主演汉娜·瓦丁汉姆 (Hannah Waddingham) 开始约会以来，她的新男友、脊柱外科医生尼克·贝雷斯福德-克利里 (Nick Beresford-Cleary) 似乎经历了一次好莱坞式的形象改造。极具魅力的瓦丁汉姆女士是否在其中推波助澜，确保她的新欢时刻保持红毯状态？如果真是这样，她应该停下来提醒自己，当初为什么会被他吸引——恰恰是因为他不是一个虚荣、自恋、行走的好莱坞自我中心者。
圆滑的韦斯·斯特里廷 (Wes Streeting) 10 次拒绝回答他是否支持将 GDP 的 3% 用于国防支出。现在他承认自己无法回答，因为他根本不知道我们该如何筹集资金。所以，伯纳姆 (Burnham) 没有资金确保英国能够自我保护，但却有足够的资金用于支付公交车票和福利金？
为什么我们竟然支付了高达十亿英镑给法国人来阻止船只，而本周那里的警察却说他们的命令是直接让他们走。事实也确实如此——数百人争相登上超级小艇——导致四人死亡，其中三人为女性。所以，这就是安迪 (Andy) 所谓的“我们的计划正在奏效”。显而易见

EMI Badenoch 在很多事情上都是正确的，但最正确的一次莫过于她说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”。我们都知道这部虚构作品的作者——那个疯狂的气候变化疯子 Ed Miliband，感谢上帝，他现在已经被免除了其“让英国破产”的职责。随着 Miliband 的离去，安迪·伯纳姆现在表示他将允许更多的北海钻探，专家预测仅此一项在未来十年就能产生 £25billion 的额外税收并支持数千个就业岗位。但现在难道不是时候摒弃所有净零目标和绿色能源补贴了吗？因为它们毫无用处且自相矛盾。Miliband 曾向我们承诺，他那狂躁的政策将使我们的能源账单降低 £300——结果账单反而飙升，现在我们的电价在发达国家中处于最高之列。Miliband 始终无法理解

AT 84, Paul McCartney 入选了久负盛名的水星音乐奖 12 人的最终入围名单，与 Olivia Dean 和 Raye 共同入选。那些最近听过 Macca 唱歌的人会知道，他听起来像一只患有扁桃体炎的猫。因此，我不禁认为这是一个典型的“在他从高位跌落前赶紧把奖给他”的奖项。
归咎于气候变化时，全球野火信息系统（Global Wildfire Information System）表示，今年的野火次数是自 2012 年有记录以来最低的。底线是，“气候变暖”成了各地政客的万能借口，用来掩盖他们没有采取适当措施预防野火的事实。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、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——所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导方针，医院的手术目前正在被取消，关键的血液检测也是如此。这简直是疯了！所以，就因为白痴 Miliband 对空调设置了净零限制，我们就得让人们死去？我们还需要将
它并不是这样。入境人数下降的原因（伯纳姆吹嘘这要归功于工党）是因为最近天气恶劣。现在情况改变了，过去 10 天有 1,600 人入境，使今年的总数达到 14,128 人。安迪·伯纳姆是时候停止谈论他那些像 No 10 North 一样愚蠢的虚荣项目，而应该集中精力关注英国人最关心的问题了。
备受尊敬的 Casey 男爵夫人本周表示，英国的福利国家过于宽松，甚至连她都有资格领取福利。“1,700 万人被归类为残疾？我根本不信，”她说。问题是，伯纳姆是否有勇气削减福利，而不是通过向勤奋工作的人征收繁重的税收来压榨他们？
所有新公寓和房屋都安装空调。我们需要照顾好我们的田野和森林以降低火灾风险，而且我们必须取消所有绿色能源补贴——这些补贴增加了每份能源账单 12% 的费用。无论我们做什么，英国都无法解决全球变暖问题。而对于那些说我们应该忽略世界其他国家在做什么而至少尝试努力的人——那是愚蠢的。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、昂贵到令人窒息的、荒谬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，但我们对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职，但他的接任者是一个更严重的生态狂热分子，名叫米亚塔·法恩布勒 (Miatta Fahnbulleh)，因此这种疯狂将继续下去。
– 失控的非法移民。在困难时期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。 他甚至不想谈论移民问题，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。他可以先从要求马克龙退还我们的钱开始。
Scott 骗取了超过 £7,600
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 赛跑并爬脚手架。
39 岁的 Ryan Scott 此前一直领取残疾福利，他向当局声称一次职场事故导致他行动不便，无法执行基本任务。
但一次举报让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。

以及在墙上抹灰。埃克塞特治安法院（Exeter magistrates court）获悉，在 2023-24 年度其健康状况好转后，他仍骗取了超过 £7,600 的个人独立付款（Personal Independence Payment），而他并不具备领取资格。他于周四被判处 15 天的社区矫正，并必须支付总计 £360 的罚金、诉讼费和受害者附加费。
Scott 告诉法庭，他当时的状态不佳，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款项。

英吉利海峡正变得像个射击场，不是吗？继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）在法国格里斯内角（Cap Gris-Nez）附近海域两英里处的一艘船上漂浮时，被附近一艘法国海军舰艇发出的密集枪响惊吓到了。
那并不是大炮的轰鸣。这是一名法国军官在“试射”他的配枪：17声清晰可闻的“啪-啪-啪”响，当时菲尔普正接受 BBC 电视台关于新一波通过小船将非法移民带到英格兰的采访。
他对此反应极其激烈。“这是一次蓄意恐吓我的尝试，”他随后向任何愿意倾听的人抱怨道。
胡说，是法方不屑的回应。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蔑摊手。
我必须说，我很难想象法国军舰上的某个人通过双筒望远镜盯着另一艘船（距离几百码），然后惊呼：“天呐！我的上帝！那是菲尔普先生，那个‘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，他确实焦虑了——与其说是远处手枪的“啪啪”声，不如说是另一艘载满寻求庇护者的橡皮艇传来的“突突”声。据信，在菲尔普先生与法国海军发生冲突的第二天，有 700 多名移民穿越了海峡。
而就在安迪·伯纳姆声称停止小船计划“正在发挥作用”的 24 小时之后，就发生了这件事。也许他在技术上和字面上都是正确的——本周其中一艘船体积极大，是迄今为止最大的一艘，船上挤满了数百名男女老少。无论怎么想象，这都算不上是一艘“小船”。
也许伯纳姆承诺停止“大船”的时候到了。他真的必须跟上形势。
一连串的民调似乎显示，英国大多数人并不准备为自己的国家战斗，更不用说牺牲了。YouGov 七月份的一项调查显示，如果发生入侵（推测是由俄罗斯发起的），只有 6% 的人会自愿拿起武器。
仅仅两个月前，格拉斯哥大学一项针对 Z 世代的民调显示，16 到 29 岁的年轻人中，有 50% 会断然拒绝保卫这片海岸。
当然，这让人想起 1933 年著名的牛津联盟辩论，当时的议题是：“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，英国的青年才俊们却在排队准备与希特勒对抗。
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，她本周风趣地写道，这类民调实际上是在问：“你现在是否在闹情绪，并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逢周六在您的《每日快报》中回顾本周事件
把他们关起来，焊死牢房门
“你没法强迫人们去关心那些人渣的死活。” “呃？”我从路边咖啡馆的桌子前抬起头。那是一名巴士司机，他在行人过路处短暂停靠，正透过开着的窗户对我喊话。 “我是说，你不能强迫普通的正经人去关心某个进了监狱的混蛋会怎样。Rich，下次你采访政府那些家伙时，把我的话引用进去。” “我们受够了。我们才不管监狱是否过度拥挤。多扔一条毯子，让他们在那儿待着就行。只要别让那些混球早早出狱。” 灯号变换，他向我愉快地挥了挥手，随即开车离去。 现在，这次在本周早些时候发生在北伦敦的简短交流，其有趣之处在于：它的总体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头听到的观点。 在那里，该国崭新的 CECOT 超级最大安全监狱将数千名杀手、绑架者和强奸犯关押在难以置信的严苛（尽管洁净）的环境中。每间牢房 100 人。每天被锁在里面 23 个半小时。不允许携带任何物品——没有书籍、杂志、屏幕或游戏。统统没有。灯光 24 / 7 全程大亮。 毫无疑问，CECOT 违反了人权。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？因为他们被逼到了极点。多年来，那些现在被关在 CECOT 的犯罪帮派掌握着主导权，恐怖袭击整个国家。现在情况反转了，普通的、守法的萨尔瓦多人对此感到非常满意。他们沉浸在复仇的快感中。 显然，我们这里并没有像那个中美洲小国被困扰数十年的那种虐杀式犯罪水平，但这里的正经人们对于我们自己的犯罪底层阶级似乎总能逃避行为后果的方式，已经快失去耐心了。
人间地狱，萨尔瓦多臭名昭著的残酷 CECOT 超级最大安全监狱
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·利普曼女爵 (Dame Maureen Lipman) 可能会成为一名初次投票给托利党 (Tory) 的选民。她曾是坚定的工党 (Labour) 支持者长达五十年，直到在埃德·米利班德 (Ed Miliband) 的领导期间感到失望。为什么？因为凯米。 “她说话非常得体，”莫琳说，“她很有魅力，深思熟虑，聪明……我喜欢她。在我的铅笔悬停在蓝色选项（保守党）上方时，我得仔细考虑。但我真的很喜欢她。” 凯米下一个会感化谁？乔治·加洛韦 (George Galloway)？杰里米·科尔宾 (Jeremy Corbyn)？（噢，拜托，女人总可以做做梦，不是吗？）
本周在 GMB 节目中，凯特·加拉威 (Kate Garraway) 和我采访了从伦敦配送员转行为扒手猎人的迭戈·加尔迪诺 (Diego Galdino)。这个非凡的年轻人对在牛津街和白金汉宫外等犯罪热点地区，扒手们肆无忌惮地活动感到厌烦。于是他放弃了工作，现在在街头巡逻，每当发现“扒手”作案时，就进行完全合法的公民逮捕。他用红漆喷他们，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一名私刑者。但汗市长的想法与公众舆论完全脱节。我们在观众那里收到的 90% 以上的电话都全力支持加尔迪诺：许多人呼吁给他颁发奖章。 这就是当正经人们意识到犯罪分子在“逍遥法外”时会发生的情况。他们要么自行执法，要么渴求复仇。这两者都已在这里开始发生。 ANDY 如此直言不讳
我直言不讳，我必须说，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）周三关于应对英国护理危机的即兴演讲确实给我留下了相当深刻的印象。
我在从早餐节目开车回家途中，在车载广播中听到了全程。在开始时，我已经做好准备地认为这又将是一次“我只是个普通的曼彻斯特小伙子”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、激昂且充满智慧。
诚然，我们的新首相并没有说明如何解决惊人的护理成本问题。我怀疑，就像大多数面对这座大山的人一样，他不确定登顶的正确路径是什么。
但我很欣赏他坚持要求独立护理调查结果提前整整一年提交的决定。这让人想起了丘吉尔“今日行动”的方式。（我从未想过我会对“我们的安迪”写下这样的评价）。我也欣赏他显而易见的诚意，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——并且愿意双手全力应对一个极其棘手且痛苦的问题。干得好。

在过去十年中，已婚或建立民事伴侣关系的人数比例已下降至 50% 左右。同时，从未结婚或建立民事伴侣关系的人数比例正在上升。同性婚姻人数也稳步增加，目前在所有婚姻关系中占比近百分之一 (100 分之 1)。
这些来自国家统计局 (Office for National Statistics) 的英格兰和威尔士数据统计截止至 2025 年，且是首次仅针对 18 岁及以上人群的婚姻状况进行反映。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至 18 岁。
数据显示，2025 年有 51.1% 的成年人已婚或建立了民事伴侣关系，低于 2015 年的 52.3%。从未处于任何形式的国家认可联盟状态的人数比例从 32.6% 上升至 2025 年的 34.9%。约有 3.9 million 人离婚，3 million 人丧偶。

BETFRED 将关闭 132 家店铺并削减 600 多个工作岗位，将其归咎于更高的税收和经济不确定性。这些店铺将于 9 月起关闭，届时该博彩公司在英国将剩余约 1,100 家门店。关于裁员的咨询程序已经启动。
这家总部位于沃灵顿 (Warrington) 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。据估算，他们的财富为 £3.61bn。
首席执行官乔·惠特克 (Jo Whittaker) 表示：“雇主国民保险缴费增加、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 家投注站并削减成本。去年 10 月，Paddy Power 透露计划在英国和爱尔兰关闭 57 家店铺。
舞蹈班杀手亚克塞尔·鲁达库巴纳 (Axel Rudakubana) 将因被指控在贝尔马什监狱 (HMP Belmarsh) 期间袭击监狱工作人员而出庭。
这名 19 岁的持刀凶手于 2024 年 7 月 29 日在默西赛德郡的索斯波特 (Southport) 杀害了 7 岁的艾尔西·多特·斯坦科姆 (Elsie Dot Stancombe)、6 岁的贝贝·金 (Bebe King) 和 9 岁的爱丽丝·达·席尔瓦·阿吉亚尔 (Alice da Silva Aguiar)，并导致 8 名儿童及 2 名成年人受伤。
他在去年 1 月于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 Rudakubana 已从高安全性监狱转移至 Broadmoor 精神病院时，遇害女孩的家属反应激烈。Chris Walker 是受害家庭的代表律师，他表示他们“不相信”将其因心理健康问题而转移的“正当性”，并怀疑这是在企图“操纵系统”。
现在，大都会警察局透露，Rudakubana 在从伦敦东南部的 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 Rudakubana 将水壶中的开水浇在一名监狱管理人员身上。
他当时与曼彻斯特竞技场恐怖分子 Hashem Abedi 处于 Belmarsh 监狱的同一安全单元，后者据称在 2025 年 4 月于达勒姆郡的 HMP Frankland 监狱袭击了监狱管理人员。
大都会警察局表示，Rudakubana 将于 9 月 11 日通过视频出现在威斯敏斯特治安法院。
对于那些风险较高且由于精神障碍无法在监狱中被安全管理的人员，可以被转移到安全精神病单元，作为病人而非囚犯接受治疗。
位于伯克셔的 Broadmoor 是英国三所高安全性医院中最古老的一所，曾关押过一些最臭名昭著的罪犯，包括黑帮分子 Ronnie Kray 和连环杀手“约克郡开膛手”Peter Sutcliffe。
根据《精神健康法》，代表司法部长的官员在转移囚犯至安全设施时，必须接受临床专业人员的建议，没有其他选择。
在安全医院就诊的罪犯在返回监狱或被释放回社区之前，必须接受治疗和方案干预。在不再需要医院护理的情况下，该法案允许其迅速返回监狱。
Walker 先生在谈到 Rudakubana 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次性事件，是否是重复性事件，或者这是否是他利用系统的手段？”
他补充说，这件事发生在自其行凶以来几乎恰好两年之际，“是 AR 的另一个举动，他似乎在试图……操纵系统”。
监狱管理人员协会表示，Rudakubana 的转移是因为其心理健康状况恶化。
名人
哈里王子。尽管如此，如果贝克汉姆夫妇希望让自己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，他们既参加了威廉王子与凯特·米德尔顿的婚礼（庄重、肃穆、正式），也参加了哈里王子与梅根·马克尔的婚礼（名流云集，略显超现实）。而且广为人知的是，大卫曾排队向已故的伊丽莎白二世表达敬意，因为他坚韧地愿意花几个小时彻夜排队，而非利用其一线明星身份插队，从而赢得了赞誉。
最终，他的所有努力都得到了回报，他在去年 11 月被封为大卫爵士——这一次是因其对体育和慈善事业的贡献而获得荣誉。
据称，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。两人甚至在今年早些时候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上互相交流心得。
然而，在不那么“绿手指”（园艺天赋）的话题上，这两个男人很可能是因为面对的家庭困难而产生了共鸣。正如哈里王子在 2020 年出走王室而闻名——这一进展后来被戏称为“Megxit”——布鲁克林·贝克汉姆今年 1 月在 Instagram 上发布的一系列非凡快拍，将整个“贝克汉姆品牌”的大厦彻底拆解给众人观看，这也被冠以了“Beckxit”的绰号。
在这两种情况下，儿子从深受爱戴的体制中离开都变成了国际新闻，导致人们在这些“不文明战争”中选择立场。
布鲁克林和哈里都吸引了支持者，后者声称他们受到了家人的不公正对待；同时也招来了诋毁者，后者将他们描述为渴望关注且忘恩负义。许多其他人则注意到他们美国妻子的影响（分别是尼古拉·佩尔兹和梅根），并询问她们是否对丈夫产生了与当年华丽·辛普森对爱德华八世相同的影响——爱德华八世为了娶她而放弃王位，后来成为了温莎公爵与公爵夫人。
无论发生什么，贝克汉姆家族和温莎家族的家庭关系在未来几年都不可避免地将继续成为人们痴迷的话题。写一本关于贝克汉姆的、副标题为《一场皇室之情》的书，在某些人看来可能很荒谬，甚至过于狂妄。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、权力和威望紧密相连。
贝克汉姆夫妇虽然是国际超级巨星，但成名时间仅有几十年，而且尽管大卫和维多利亚身体健康，但他们不可能永远维持下去。
他们的孩子是否会像父母那样继续经营“贝克汉姆品牌”仍不清楚。布鲁克林甚至张扬地将自己的名字改为佩尔兹·贝克汉姆，表明他对新美国家庭的忠诚；而且有传闻称，他与同样被王室放逐的哈里王子建立了友谊，在其中他们无疑在讨论他们多么厌恶自己的家庭。
尽管如此，贝克汉姆和温莎家族对于从王室观察者到名人粉丝的每个人来说，依然是痴迷的对象。他们的生活规模宏大，在最广阔的画布上铺展开来。我们为他们经历中融合的魅力与丑闻而感到兴奋，以一种难以置信且好笑的心情观看最新报道，并热切地交换关于他们关起门来真实面貌的八卦。
这两个英国“皇室”——一个是官方的，另一个是大众认可的——继续向世人展示 21 世纪成名是什么样子，而这两个家族之间的相似之处现在远比差异更为显著。这些“皇室事务”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，此前有指称称她受到了特殊照顾。
这位 51 岁的明星在离开服务了 17 年的 BBC 电视节目沙发后，被授予了这个旗舰角色。
但该电台的内部人士称，5 Live 幕后对该机构处理此事的方式感到“惊愕”。人们对此感到愤怒：Munchetty 协商达成的一项协议是，每周有三天在索尔福德 (Salford) 工作室主持，两天则在靠近其赫特福德郡 (Hertfordshire) 住所的伦敦主持。
与此同时，她未来的共同主持人预计每周将在索尔福德工作五天。一名消息人士表示：“许多人认为这并不公平，老板们给了她特殊照顾。”
此外，该职位没有公开招聘，而其共同主持人的职位却有公开招聘，这也引起了不满。该消息人士补充道：“人们感到不安的是，这个职位是直接白送给她的，而潜在的共同主持人则必须通过竞争来争夺该工作。”
这份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片，且需“每周五天在我们的索尔福德工作室工作”。
该消息人士表示：“Naga 是内定的人选，而她的共同主持人则被要求通过重重考验……有些人认为这并不公平。”
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“热情开朗，能够看到生活幽默的一面”。
此前，Munchetty 作为 BBC 薪酬最高的明星之一（年薪 £365,000），曾面临欺凌初级员工的指控。内部人士称，她被指羞辱一名女同事，并因为一名实习生在涂抹 Marmite 酱吐司时操作不正确而对其责骂。
一名消息人士表示：“鉴于 BBC Breakfast 节目中发生的种种喧闹，这份广告的措辞引起了一些人的质疑。”
Munchetty 曾引起过不满
目前在 5 Live 主持上午谈话节目的 Munchetty，据报道在 2022 年因在播音期间提到一次“粗俗、不恰当且极其不专业的”性行为而受到电台老板的训斥。Munchetty 此前在 BBC Breakfast 中对待嘉宾和同事的方式也引起过不满。
据报道，老板们就一次采访向辣妹组合成员 Geri Horner 道歉，在这次采访中 Munchetty 问道：“你不喜欢被采访吗？”
她还因为开玩笑谈论天气预报员 Carol Kirkwood 的离职而遭到反击，当时她称自己正在“等待她离开的倒计时”。
Munchetty 还嘲讽了 Sally Nugent 的新发型，说道：“我们应该是严肃的新闻记者，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，该机构去年对 BBC Breakfast 的相关指控启动了审查，目前该审查已不再进行。一名 BBC 消息人士表示：“Naga 的新工作似乎是对所有人最好的结果。在 Breakfast 节目组里，气氛并不愉快。”但他们补充道：“无论你怎么看，主持 BBC Breakfast 都是比在 5 Live 工作重要得多的工作。”
此外，此前她与 BBC Breakfast 的编辑 Richard Frediani 产生分歧，据报道 Munchetty 对其行为提出了质疑。后者后来被证明不存在欺凌行为。
Munchetty 于 2009 年首次加入 BBC Breakfast，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 月接替将于 12 月离职的 Rachel Burden 和 Rick Edwards，主持 5 Live 的早餐时段。
唐纳德·特朗普声称，哈马斯已达成一项历史性协议，将放弃其武器，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“全面解除武装”，他将其描述为实现饱受战争摧残的巴勒斯坦领土“和平与安全”的“里程碑式的一步”。
特朗普声称，随着解除武装的完成，以色列将从加沙撤军。 对此，哈马斯昨日确认，已就解除武装达成协议，这是与以色列达成加沙停火协议中最关键的部分。这标志着结束冲突的一个潜在突破。 特朗普在社交媒体上宣布这项最新协议时表示，该协议将分“精心规划的阶段”执行。他说道：

“随着解除武装的完成，以色列军队将撤出，国际稳定部队将与新的巴勒斯坦警察部队合作，负责确保加沙对其居民及其邻国而言是安全的。”但他的大胆断言与实地情况并不完全相符，双方在任何行动之前都设定了条件。 哈马斯坚称，该协议取决于以色列在加沙境内“停止杀戮并结束袭击”，并将其军队从该领土撤出。特拉维夫
一名青少年的父母表示，在死因研讯发现医院护理中的“错误”导致其本可避免的死亡后，他本应仍然活着。 尼尔和路易丝·阿罗史密斯的长子艾萨克，19 岁，在 18 岁时被诊断出患有血红蛋白雷尼尔病 (Haemoglobin Rainier disease)，这是一种罕见的遗传性血液疾病，会增加血栓风险。 在经历了数周包括胸痛、呼吸困难和咳血在内的疾病后，他在 1 月 2 日在家中昏倒。 他死于肺栓塞、深静脉血栓和血红蛋白雷尼尔病。 死因研讯随后发现他的死亡是可以避免的，结论称他从未被转诊至麦克尔菲尔德区总医院 (Macclesfield District General Hospital) 的虚拟病房团队——该团队旨在 48 小时内提供家庭护理——且

他本应被送入医院，如果在病情恶化时身在医院，他很可能能够幸存。 验尸官维多利亚·戴维斯随后发布了一份预防未来死亡报告。 当艾萨克在去年 12 月生病时，他被诊断为肺炎，并在未进行排除肺栓塞检查的情况下出院。来自麦克尔菲尔德的父亲尼尔，45 岁，表示：“很难不愤怒。” “艾萨克今天本该和我们在一起，但他不在，是因为他护理过程中的错误。” 东切舍尔 NHS 信托基金会首席医疗官约翰·亨特博士表示：“我们深表遗憾。我们已经对艾萨克护理中不足的领域进行了审查。”

自从 1994 年在《四个婚礼一场葬礼》中崭露头角以来，约翰·汉娜（John Hannah）就从未停止过工作。他出演了 70 部以上的电影和 40 多个电视节目，然而这位多产的表演者将他的长寿归功于运气，而非天赋。“我认为我非常幸运，”这位 64 岁的演员说道，“我不认为自己特别有天赋或幽默，但我认为我有一种天赋，能遇到那些在成长过程中帮助我的才华横溢且优秀的人。对我来说，那是最好的礼物。”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·韦兹的喜剧色彩的哥哥），再到在 BBC 同名剧集中饰演忧郁且深陷困扰的爱丁堡侦探里巴斯（Rebus），汉娜始终为观众带来出色的表演——而在他最新的电视侦探剧《贝尼多姆是谋杀案》（Benidorm Is Murder）中，他肯定会再次如此，详情见后文。这位苏格兰出生的演员温暖的声音即使在不在银幕上时也令人愉悦，这就是为什么自 2019 年以来，他为 BBC 的旅行竞赛节目《环球竞速》（Race Across The World）六季节目配音。该节目由两人一组，必须在不乘坐飞机的条件下以最快速度穿越世界的一段路程，这再次印证了汉娜对人类善良的信念，尽管阴郁的新闻周期经常描绘出截然相反的惨淡景象。“我相信人们的善良，”他说，“现在的世界是个如此糟糕的地方，不是吗？但我天性相信人类，我认为《环球竞速》是一个非常棒的例子，在那些我们认为人们一无所有的世界角落，你却能看到他们多么慷慨，以及多么乐于帮助他人。”汉娜还将他对人性的信念归功于他在格拉斯哥南部的东基尔布赖德（East Kilbride）的成长经历，那是该国第一个新市镇，在汉娜于 60 年代出生时，人口约为 70,000 人。“邻居们总是进进出出彼此的家，”他回忆道，“我以前管隔壁邻居叫艾伦婶婶和弗兰克叔叔，尽管我们没有亲戚关系。”然后还有一次全家去黑pool露营地的旅行。汉娜的父亲也是一名工具制造者，名叫约翰，他的母亲苏珊（曾在马莎百货担任清洁工）以及两个姐姐全部挤进了车里。“沿途在湖区某处，我父亲的车坏了，我们不得不停在一家车库，那里的人说更换一个新的发动机零件需要一周时间，”汉娜在回忆起这件事时微笑着说，“他们允许我们将帐篷搭在车库旁边，那里有厕所和淋浴设施，他们也允许我们使用。基本上我们在湖区免费住了一周，那太棒了，住在一个有独立床铺区域的大帐篷里。”当我们见面时，汉娜正与他结婚 30 年的妻子、演员乔安娜·罗斯（Joanna Roth）住在蒙特卡洛的一家豪华酒店里——两人在共同出演莎士比亚剧作《衡量尺度》时相识，并育有两个孩子，22 岁的异卵双胞胎加布里埃尔和阿斯特丽德。他来到法国里维埃拉是为了……
（图片说明）从上起，在《四个婚礼一场葬礼》中与西蒙·卡洛和夏洛特·科尔曼合作，在《木乃伊》中与瑞秋·韦兹和布兰登·弗雷泽合作，在漫威的《神盾局特工》中与伊恩·德·卡斯特克合作，以及在《滑动之门》中与格温妮丝·帕特劳合作。
表演行业的 如此多变 让我感到 愤怒
2026年蒙特卡洛电视节，他是这里的VIP嘉宾。与《环球竞速》（Race Across The World）的参赛者不同，他没有紧凑的预算限制，也不需要担心当晚睡在哪里。但汉娜认为，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一名合格参与者。
“事实上，我认为我会表现得很出色。作为一名男性，我不需要地图，也不需要阅读指南。事实上，我女儿在和我出去时有一个专门的词，叫作DUD——‘爸爸的无意之 detour’（爸爸的意外绕路）。”
“我经常迷路，但我喜欢迷路，因为在寻找出路的过程中存在一种挑战。”
他曾是一名热衷于跑步的人，直到一次膝盖受伤终结了这一切。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，我都会带着自行车。”
“这让我有事可做，能让我远离麻烦，而且我一直都在迷路。我来到一个拐角，向左或向右转，但总能以某种方式找到回来的路。”
“这在某种程度上是生活的一种隐喻，即相信一切最终都会好起来。”
而现在的生活很美好。在他新的侦探剧中，《贝尼多姆是谋杀案》（Benidorm Is Murder），他饰演一名心力交瘁的前警察丹尼斯·戈文（Dennis Govan），目前在西班牙的度假胜地经营一家苏格兰酒吧。丹尼斯可怜地“坐在酒吧的边缘，不确定自己在做什么”，直到一名渴望成为演员且痴迷于英国犯罪剧的女孩罗莎（Rosa，由卡罗琳娜·贝克尔饰演）闯入他的生活，并最终成为他破案的搭档。
“这部剧写得非常精彩，里面的每一个角色都有其目的和目标，”汉娜在谈到吸引他的原因时说道。
“这是一个很难把握的界限——既要创造出令人信服的真实人物和戏剧冲突，又要找到幽默感，且不能使其变成闹剧或粗线条的喜剧笔触。”
汉娜原本以为这个西班牙度假胜地会更加喧闹。他住在远离嘈杂的村庄里，周末则在海岸线上骑行。
“而且我晚上不出门，”他承认道。“但只要你在任何有人群和酒精的地方拍摄，每个人总想大喊大叫并参与进来。”
“我们就在海滨拍摄，我很惊讶人们竟然如此尊重我们。”
汉娜第一次出国度假是在19岁那年，当时他递交了电工学徒的辞职信，然后前往欧洲背包旅行。
在业余时间，他曾加入一个剧团俱乐部，并且非常享受其中
在结束了为期两周的欧洲之旅回国后，他注册就读于皇家苏格兰音乐与戏剧学院。在那里，他“变得有点自命不凡，整天坐在那儿，不与那些轻佻的戏剧系学生打交道”。
在《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》让他出名之前，他从事戏剧表演并出演了一些小型电视角色，时间长达近十年。“在离开戏剧学校九年后，我才算是在一夜之间获得了成功，”他面无表情地说道。
令人惊讶的是，这种成功反而让他感到恼火。几年前，他曾因为一个紧急的牙科预约而错过了一次国家剧院剧组的试镜。
“接着，就在《四个婚礼》上映后，我收到了一份国家剧院主演角色的邀请。在那个时刻之前，无论如何我都不可能被考虑出演这个角色，这真的让我很生气。这让我对这个行业的反复无常感到愤怒。”
不过，这并没有让他打消演戏的念头。
汉娜的履历非常丰富，大银幕作品包括《滑动门》和《木乃伊》系列电影；小荧幕作品则涵盖了《斯巴达克斯：血与沙》及其续作《竞技场之神》，以及在《神盾局特工》中出演的 22 集剧集。“成为漫威宇宙的一员是很令人兴奋的，”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，我想观众可能也觉得无聊了。”
这就是为什么他在仅播了一季后就离开了《雷巴斯》，这令许多人感到失望。
他承认，在出演预算巨大的《木乃伊》电影及其后续续集时，他曾有些自视甚高。
“我来自比较严肃的剧院背景，所以假装成僵尸之类的事情让我觉得有点愚蠢，但后来我在美国看了一场试映，观众们都疯了。”
“所以当拍续集的时候，我的想法是：‘只要你们想，我什么都愿意做！’”
该系列的第四部电影目前正在开发中。
“所有人都会回归，”他在谈到共同主演布兰登·弗雷泽和瑞秋·薇兹时说，“回归之路上还会有一些惊喜，但我还不知道被允许透露什么，所以最好不要多说。”
汉娜在短暂地搬到牛津郡的奇尔特恩丘陵后，现在居住在里士满。
“那是次巨大的错误，我们讨厌那里，”他笑着谈到必须应对超速行驶的车辆，以及被困在什么也没有的荒郊野外。
然而，在那里期间，他参加了由电影导演保罗·格林拉斯举办的一次聚会。“很多年前见过面的马特·达蒙也在场，而且他记得我的名字。”
“这给我留下了很深的印象，因为我永远记不住任何人的名字。我走进房间参加试镜，见过三个人，不到一分钟我就记不清谁是谁了。”
另一次，他在纽约的一家百货商店里发现了罗宾·威廉姆斯。不知怎么地，话题转向了汉娜的膝盖伤势。
“就好像我突然触发了他的开关一样。”
“结果他对我膝盖的话题滔滔不绝，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，但时间到了。我告诉他应该写本书。
他笑了，最后依然谦卑地补充道：“我应该写，不是吗？只要我会写就好了！”

恐在雪崩中丧生
作者：MATT NIXSON
一名著名的英国登山家及前廓尔喀士兵被担心在世界最高山峰之一的一次毁灭性雪崩中丧生。尼尔马尔·普尔贾 (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 人的探险队在巴基斯坦北部活动。政府官员表示，昨天在布로드峰（Broad Peak）——世界第 12 高峰——发现了四具尸体。救援人员仍在继续寻找其他人。死者身份尚未公布。巴基斯坦高山俱乐部表示，自雪崩发生后，尚未与任何登山者取得联系。救援行动昨晚已利用陆军直升机展开，但恶劣的天气阻碍了任务进程。
尼尔马尔，43 岁，绰号 Nims，出身于廓尔喀家庭，在 2019 年崭露头角，当时他
尼尔马尔在雪崩后失踪
在 189 天内攀登了全球所有 14 座海拔 26,247 英尺以上的山峰——打破了此前近八年的纪录。这位来自汉普郡东莱尔 (Eastleigh, Hants) 的寒冷天气作战专家，是第一位在服役期间攀登珠峰的廓尔喀士兵，他通过 14 峰挑战来表彰尼泊尔谢尔帕人，并提高人们对气候变化和全球变暖的认识。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，以及一名来自未指明国家的外国国民。
第一海务大臣兼海军参谋长格温·詹金斯上将 (General Sir Gwyn Jenkins) 在 X 平台上写道：“我的思念与祈祷与 Nims 及其队友同在。我相信我代表整个英国武装部队社区，希望他们能被找到并幸存下来。”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 (Brigade of Gurkhas)。在一次采访中，他回忆道，在成长过程中，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，因在极端高海拔登山方面的成就，他在 2018 年被女王授予 MBE 勋章。他的 2019 年挑战是 Netflix 纪录片《14 峰：没什么是不可能的》(14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible) 的核心内容。
作者：马克·杰弗里斯 (MARK JEFFERIES) ITV 电视台的新系列节目《失散的家人》(Long Lost Family) 利用 DNA 技术和艰苦的侦查工作，让两名弃儿与失联或从未谋面的家人团聚。对于 65 岁的大卫·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：“能为我的母亲赋予一个名字和一张照片，这种感觉非常深沉。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。大卫被带回了伦敦西北部的一栋公寓楼，那是他 1960 年 12 月被发现的地方——当时他在走廊里被发现，仅出生几天，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。这里是我故事开始的地方，所以回到这里让我心潮澎湃。”他是由一名警察发现的，但随后对居民的询问未能帮助确定大卫的亲生父母。被史蒂文森一家领养后，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，大卫说：“我知道自己是个弃儿，但我有爸爸妈妈，这对我来说不是问题。”他意识到寻找母亲对双方来说都可能很困难。“警医的共识是我是一次无人看管的分娩结果，这对任何女性来说一定都是一次创伤性经历。”大卫和他的第二任妻子朱莉 (Julie) 在 2009 年发起了全国范围的信息征集，但结果证明没有成效。但通过 DNA 搜索，大卫发现自己拥有荷兰和法国血统。这对 LLF 团队至关重要，他们发现了一个与荷兰家庭的强联系，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 专家艾莉尔·布鲁斯 (Ariel Bruce) 确定了大卫的生母佩特拉 (Petra)，后者于 2010 年去世。节目主持人尼基·坎贝尔 (Nicky Campbell) 前往荷兰与玛丽安——大卫的姑姑，以及他的表兄妹萨斯基亚 (Saskia) 和巴特 (Bart) 会面。家人中没有人知道，佩特拉在巴黎担任互惠生期间怀孕并生下了大卫，随后在伦敦放弃了这个婴儿。家人们深感悲痛，因为她 20 岁时独自承受了分娩之苦。佩特拉在一个严格的天主教家庭长大，在那里，怀孕的消息是不被容忍的。由于法国的隐私法，艾莉尔和团队无法确定大卫的父亲。大卫在得知佩特拉回到荷兰后没有再生育孩子时深受触动。他说：“我觉得这挺令人悲哀的，没有家庭，而且放弃了她唯一的一个孩子。”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，他们接受了 DNA 检测。在这个荷兰港口城市，他与玛丽安、巴特、萨斯基亚和另一位表亲扬 (Jan) 进行了情感深厚的会面。他们向他讲述了关于佩特拉的事，包括她的个性及其爱好。大卫说：“最令人欣慰的事情之一……就是听他们谈论她。这帮助我勾勒出她的性格。我对未来感到非常兴奋。他们给我带来的全部是爱。”佩特拉的姐妹玛丽安说：“她一定会爱你，你也会爱她的。”下周节目中的另一项搜索是寻找莎拉的生母，莎拉在婴儿时期被一名准备使用电话亭的女性发现。身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，但她生命的开端从未被公开讨论。她说：“我认为某些事情有其特定的时间和场合，我没有强求。无论谁把我留在紧挨着公交站和社区中心的公共电话亭里……他们就是希望我被找到。”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。●《失散的家人：无迹之生》(Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace)，周一晚上 9 点，ITV 和 ITVX 播出。

青少年从 冰冷的河中 救起
统治西班牙 与葡萄牙
Albariño（读作 “alba-reen-yo”）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。这些葡萄颗粒微小且皮厚，这意味着它们可以在潮湿的气候中茁壮成长而不会染上霉菌或腐烂。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。那里的海洋性气候，全年伴有海雾且温度温和，提供了理想的生长条件。
在葡萄牙，它被称为 alvarinho，是 Vinho Verde 地区最重要的葡萄品种，该地区气候凉爽潮湿，以出品轻盈、清爽的葡萄酒而闻名。在大多数葡萄园中，葡萄藤是顶棚式架设（而非行栽），并通过金属丝固定在花岗岩柱上，以保持葡萄干燥并防止腐烂。
在西班牙和葡萄牙之外，Albariño 在加利福尼亚州、澳大利亚、新西兰和乌拉圭也得到了成功种植。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口感，伴有净化味蕾的酸度和一丝矿物感。有些还带有淡淡的咸味。Albariño 的柑橘系酸度使其能够与任何海鲜完美搭配。它也非常适合搭配猪肉或小牛肉等较轻的肉类。
今天是世界 Albariño 日——正是尝试一两杯的最佳机会。
六款带您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 口感清脆且香气浓郁，具有 令人愉悦的酸度，融合了 柑橘、桃子、甜瓜和 热带水果的基调，在 清爽、干型的收尾中 带有咸味。可在 Tesco 购买。

3 El Camaron Albariño 2025 (£16.99, 12.5%) 极干、明亮且清脆，这是 另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、青柠的味道，以及 带有淡淡咸味和悠长余韵 的核果香。美味。可在 Cheers, Hennings, Cork & Cask 和 Crushed & Cured 购买。

纵火焚毁 家中住宅罪名成立
作者：CHRIS RICHES 一名男子因错误地认为自己被阻止继承童年故居而将其炸毁，现已被判入狱。 达伦·戴维斯 (Darren Davies)，55 岁，在父母于 2024 年去世后，与兄弟克雷格 (Craig) 共同居住在那栋四卧室的平房中。但法庭获悉，他产生了一个“古怪的想法”，认为自己成了剥夺其继承权的阴谋的受害者。 在位于兰开夏郡汉布尔顿 (Hambleton, Lancs) 村的这栋价值 £260,000 的独立房屋中，他放置了三个煤气罐，在周围浇上汽油并点燃了一根蜡烛。 随之而来的爆炸导致房屋仅剩一面墙屹立不倒。 克雷格当时在上班，而戴维斯就在屋内，令人惊讶的是，他仅受轻伤便幸存了下来。 他告诉急救人员和消防员，他的意图是自杀并“带着房子一起走”。一名在房屋附近行驶的目击者表示，戴维斯告诉他：“我的家人想要这栋房子——如果我不能拥有它，那就谁也别想拥有。” 戴维斯承认纵火罪，并在普雷斯顿刑事法院被判处四年四个月监禁。在受害者陈述中，他的兄弟克雷格告诉法庭，他们的父母立有遗嘱，将平房平分给兄弟两人。 他表示，他曾告诉戴维斯他想卖掉房产并“各奔东西”，但这不会立即发生。克雷格说：“达伦产生了一个古怪的想法，认为我父亲在生命最后几个月里签署了一份秘密遗嘱，将房子单独留给我。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，据称他长期患有精神健康问题，包括双相情感障碍。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) 法官考虑到了他早期的认罪态度，以及他的责任因“你的精神障碍而大幅减轻”。

一座失落的 18 世纪花园在夏季热浪的影响下，在布伦海姆宫 (Blenheim Palace) 显露出来。 长时间的炎热干燥天气揭示了这座牛津郡豪宅 300 年前花坛 (parterre) 的隐藏轮廓，让人得以一窥曾经点缀在这片土地上的正式花园。 “花坛”一词是指围绕花床、小路和对称图案排列的装饰性草坪。原有的花坛由皇家园艺师 Henry Wise 于 1705 年创建，横跨整个宫殿 grounds 的宽度。
现在，热浪条件揭开了干枯的印记，凸显了这座在 1760 年代被拆除的旧花园的轮廓。 布伦海姆宫的主园艺师 Andy Mills 表示：“极度干燥的天气给了我们一个迷人的俯视视角，可以窥见布伦海姆的过去，让我们能够追踪花坛复杂的布局和规模。” 上个月早些时候，在德比郡的查茨沃斯庄园 (Chatsworth House) 枯萎的南草坪之下，一座失落的 17 世纪大花坛也被揭露。

两只由 40,000 年前的猛犸象牙雕刻而成的微小鸟类在洞穴中被发现。 这些拇指大小的小雕像是在德国南部的著名 Hohle Fels 洞穴中挖掘出来的，这里曾发现过一些世界上最早的史前艺术实例。 尽管体积微小，但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。 这一非凡的发现让我们得以一窥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层地层中发现的，彼此距离仅 5 英尺，年代可追溯到大约 40,000 年前。 其中一只似乎在展示一只趴在地面上的鸟，可能是在孵蛋；而另一只则展开翅膀，仿佛在飞行或进行求偶展示。 研究人员认为它们可能代表雷鸟——一种与松鸡和鸡相关的猎禽，此前在该洞穴中也发现了此类鸟类的骨骼。 第二只也可能描绘的是一只猛禽。 Hohle Fels 洞穴在奥里尼亚克时期 (Aurignacian period) 由早期智人居住，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。 之前的发现包括古代乐器和 41,000 年前的 Hohle Fels 维纳斯，后者被认为是欧洲最古具象雕塑。 这些微小鸟类雕像的用途仍然是一个谜。 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象征。

揭开 古代 遗骸
由于连续的热浪导致水位骤降至历史低点，多瑙河河岸上暴露出一具古代猛犸象的遗骸。 一名居民在保加利亚北部的 Ryahovo 村附近河床发现了骨骼，随后通知了附近鲁塞 (Ruse) 地区历史博物馆的专家。 专家已确认了一块下颌骨、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，希望揭开关于这头动物的更多信息，包括它何时以及如何死亡，以及它属于哪个猛犸象物种。 博物馆馆长尼古拉伊·内诺夫 (Nikolay Nenov) 表示：“我不会称其为轰动事件，但任何此类古代遗骸的发现对科学来说都非常重要。” 他认为发现骨骼的区域曾经是一片沼泽，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，尽管一些孤立的种群一直生存到大约 4,000 年前。 多瑙河从德国的黑森林流经 10 个国家到达黑海，自 5 月以来由于长期干旱和热浪，部分地区水位已降至历史低点。

谁在 开玩笑
Bill Oddie 以喜剧三人组 The Goodies 的成员身份而闻名，他不仅是英国最受欢迎的喜剧演员之一，也是我们最喜爱的观鸟者。观鸟是他终生的热情所在，因此从从事喜剧到主持包括 BBC 的《春季观察》(Springwatch) 在内的自然节目，对他来说是很自然的选择。
但他的生活一直被发作的急性抑郁症所困扰，导致他多次入住精神病院，Oddie 因此遭受了严重的锂中毒。
他出生于兰开夏郡的罗奇代尔，双方祖先都是工厂工人，但他的父亲哈里接受了会计培训，在获得中地电能局 (Midlands Electricity Board) 的工作后，他们搬到了伯明翰。
虽然 Bill 后来承认他钦佩父亲的职业道德，但在童年时期，他很少见到母亲莉莉安。她被诊断出患有精神分裂症，大部分时间都在医院度过。Oddie 后来发现，她的抑郁症是在两个年长的兄姐早逝之后而诱发的。
他童年时期就对观鸟非常热衷，他最早的几次观察记录之一被保存在一个
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
Theo Burell 是一位深受大众喜爱的陶瓷和玻璃专家，她的生命因脑瘤而戛然而止。 在去世之前，Burrell 为脑癌研究筹集了数万英镑，并在 2022 年确诊后成为了该事业的倡导者。 Burrell 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基金会的赞助人。Burrell 的 Instagram 上的一份声明称，她在家人的陪伴下平静离世。 声明称：“她是一个令人难以置信的人，为了她的家人、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 Alex（两人于 4 月结婚）以及他们五岁的儿子 Jonah。
演员及电视节目主持人 出生于 1941 年 7 月 7 日 - 逝世于 2026 年 7 月 25 日，享年 85 岁
1956 年在西米德兰兹鸟类俱乐部 (West Midlands Bird Club) 发表刊物。 在伯明翰离校后（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，通过著名的 Footlights 俱乐部，他结识了 The Goodies 成员 Graeme Garden 和 Tim Brooke-Taylor。 他们在 20 世纪 70 年代凭借他们的“三轮车” (trandem) 迅速成名——骑行四处并提供出租服务。 在那些充满闹剧且通常采用快进拍摄的片段中，穿插着许多由 Oddie 作曲的滑稽歌曲，其中最成功的是《Funky Gibbon》，该曲在英国排行榜上排名第四，三人组还在《Top Of The Pops》节目中表演了此曲。 秉承 Oddie 的风格，该曲在 40 年后重新发行，所得利润捐给了保护灵长类动物栖息地的活动。 Oddie 童年对野生动物的热情演变为其自然主义者、环保主义者和野生动物议题电视主持人的第二职业。他的一些书籍配有他自己的绘画和速写。 他为 BBC 制作的野生动物节目包括《春季观察》(Springwatch)、《秋季观察》(Autumnwatch)、《如何观察野生动物》(How To Watch Wildlife)、《花园里的野性》(Wild In Your Garden)、《与比尔·奥迪一起观鸟》(Birding With Bill Oddie)、《与比尔·奥迪一起探索野性英国》(Britain Goes Wild With Bill Oddie) 以及《比尔·奥迪出没野外》(Bill Oddie Goes Wild)。 在不主持野生动物节目时，Oddie 经常出现在一系列竞猜节目中，曾在《神秘博士》(Doctor Who) 的一集中饰演角色，并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。 Oddie 于 1967 年与音乐家 Jean Hart 结婚，两人育有两个女儿：演员 Kate Hardie 和 Bonnie。两人后来离婚，他在 1983 年与儿童作家 Laura Beaumont 结婚，两人育有一个女儿 Rosie，所有后代均在世。
将切尔西带回顶尖水平
他曾梦想成为一名职业足球运动员，但由于患有 the club foot（内反足），童年期间经历了五次手术，导致该梦想破灭。 相反，Ken Bates 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。 人们对他最深刻的记忆是他在切尔西足球俱乐部 (Chelsea FC) 的所有权经历：他在 1982 年以 £1 买下俱乐部，随后在 2003 年以 1.4 亿英镑 (£140million) 的交易将其卖给 Roman Abramovich。 Bates 接手了这家陷入困境的巨头并扭转了局势——消除了债务和流氓行为——并重新将切尔西确立为一家顶尖俱乐部，在英超联赛中连续七次进入前六名，并赢得了多个重大奖杯。 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量超过 42,000 人的全座席体育场。Bates 曾在球场周围安装著名的电子周界围栏以防止观众入侵，但在当地议会拒绝允许他将电力开启后，他将其拆除。

足球俱乐部所有者 出生于 1931 年 12 月 4 日 - 逝世于 2026 年 7 月 11 日，享年 94 岁
Bates 以 £1 买下了切尔西
16 岁时被告知，他认为的父母其实是他的祖父母，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，他才与由另一对夫妇照顾的姐姐重聚。
18 岁时，这个前文法学校的男孩接受了会计培训，决心摆脱童年的贫困。到 23 岁时，他购买了人生第一辆宾利车。
到 30 岁出头时，Bates 已足够富有可以退休，他在一家预拌混凝土公司赚到了财富，该公司在四年后以超过 50 万英镑的价格售出。
他在 20 世纪 60 年代担任奥尔德姆竞技足球俱乐部主席，开始了其足球事业，并在 20 世纪 80 年代初成为维冈竞技足球俱乐部的所有者兼副主席，随后购买了切尔西。在出售“蓝军”后，Bates 于 2005 年购买了利兹联，并于 2012 年离开该俱乐部。
他晚年居住在摩纳哥，遗孀为第三任妻子 Suzannah，以及第一段婚姻中产生的三个女儿和两个儿子。
每日快报读者信函页撰稿人 出生于 1941 年 2 月 16 日 - 逝世于 2026 年 7 月 9 日，享年 85 岁
作为一名经常给每日快报信函页写信的人，Brian Banks 是该页面最激进的撰稿人之一，现已于 85 岁去世。
Brian 出生于默西赛德郡的 Maghull，父母是 Dorothy 和 Eric。他是一个从不回避困难问题的男人。
正是这种特质，据说让他被赶出了主日学校，但后来使他成为我们信函页上一个令人敬畏的存在。
Brian 的人生旅程就像他的直率观点一样充满活力。在早年担任建筑师学徒并参与标志性的利物浦大教堂工作后，他通过加入商船队来寻求更广阔的视野。
Brian 的冒险经历带他走遍全球，尽管他的心始终坚定地留在默西赛德郡，
当地传奇人物 Banks
尤其是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 年的婚姻定义为爱与 Brian 标志性的机智。
作为 Daniel 和 Nicola 骄傲的父亲，Brian 在退休后从事园艺、打保龄球和旅行。
然而，正是他通过电子邮件发送的“浅见”使他成为了当地的传奇。
作为每日快报中一个频繁且具有争议的声音，Brian 两次获得了令人向往的“今日之信”——这是他无比自豪并珍惜的时刻。
Brian Banks 是一个真正的特立独行者：一个旅行者，一名水手，以及一名自豪的每日快报读者，且总是能说出最后一句话。
他的妻子、两个孩子和弟弟 David 仍在世。
谢谢你，Brian，感谢你所有精彩的来信。

正如任何一位首相都会确认的那样，降低生活成本是一件棘手的事情，但我刚刚注意到一种每年可节省超过 £52billion 的方法。 实际上，获益的不是一般的生活成本，而是说话的特定成本，而且实施起来几乎不需要任何费用。 这个想法就是重新命名字母 W，此后它将简单地被命名为 “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，这个字母竟然有一个三音节的名字，真是太冒失了。但在千禧年之交，我的顾虑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。 我们网络浏览器的开发者负责地对其进行了修改，在这些地址的开头自动插入 “www”，从而避免了这场灾难。 然而现在，我意识到了 W 浪费的真实规模，以及将 “double-u” 替换为 “wub” 所能带来的巨额节省。 以下数字已由字母责任办公室 (Office for Alphabetic Responsibility) 确认。 平均而言，W（此后称为 wubs）在我们语言的任何长篇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，平均每个单词四个字母。 也就是说共有 52,000 个字母，其中 因此有 1,248 个是 W。 任何识字的人在说话时，都无法 在潜意识里不将其拼写出来， 而对自己说“double-u”是很花时间的。 因此，将其中 1,248 个替换为 wubs 将节省 2,496 个音节。 这个国家至少有 65 million 英语 使用者（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 语速为 每秒 四个 音节， 所以 这 162 billion 个音节 节省了 40.5 billion 秒，相当于 每天 11.25 million 小时。 按照成年人最低工资 £12.71 的小时率计算， 这种损失的 W-时间的每日价值 高达 £143million， 一年则达到 £52.2billion， 这对政府财政将大有帮助。 我强烈建议新任首相采取此方案。 二十五年前，美国总统乔治·W·布什 通过将他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，而且我

当他们再次从考克尔桑兹 (Cocklesands) 上方的山丘上看到它时，他们更加惊讶了，因为现在海面平静无波！“这太奇怪了，”萨姆说，“现在所有的船都应该出去捕鱼了。但水面上只有一艘船，而且那艘船也正被拖回岸边。”当他们走近时，鲁珀特和萨姆可以看到，那两个将船拖上岸的人全身都湿透了。 “让我们找到杰姆，问问他发生了什么，”萨姆说。 “真奇怪！”萨姆说，“是个误报！” 因为现在海面已经变得相当平静。 “但为什么那两个渔民仍然在把他们的船拖回来？”

你能破解 Alphabeater 吗？这是我们广受欢迎的 Alphapuzzle 的高难度升级版，旨在挑战你的思维极限。下面的每个网格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。但现在你还必须完成网格！请使用主网格下方给出的字母和黑色方格开始。
为了增加难度，Alphabeater 具有“旋转对称性”。换句话说，如果你将页面倒过来，网格保持不变。例如，如果有一个从左上角开始的六字母横向单词，那么在右下角方格将有一个相应的六字母横向单词。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。这有助于识别其他黑色方格。当然，如果中心方格是黑色的，则没有相应的“双胞胎”。答案将于下周六公布。

PAIGE FRESHWATER 勇闯 007 之路以探究原因
在一个每个人都在追求下一个巨大刺激的繁忙世界里，有时最好的假期是那些强迫你慢下来并欣赏简单事物的时光。 这正是我在加尔达湖西岸的 Tremosine sul Garda 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，坐落在湖泊高处。这个悬崖目的地因其中世纪的小巷、戏剧性的 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。 它可追溯至 1185, 且仅有 2,000 名幸运居民居住于此。 我注意到的第一件事就是日常生活轻松的节奏。 当地人似乎都彼此认识，在街道上悠闲地聊天。 许多人聚集在两个主要广场——Arturo Cozzaglio 广场和 Marconi 广场——两者都位于 Pieve 主村落，那里的咖啡馆延伸至鹅卵石街道上。 那里毫无疑问是美丽的。 但最让我惊讶的不是风景，而是它的安静。 当我漫步在狭窄的小巷中时，我经常发现自己完全是一个人。 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，让我感觉自己仿佛偶然发现了一个加尔达湖的秘密角落。 由于 Pieve 本身只有大约 200 人居住，这种宁静的氛围让你无需与人群搏斗或等待完美的拍照时机，即可沉浸在周围环境中。 Tremosine sul Garda 每年迎来约 350,000 名过夜游客——与估计每年访问更广泛的加尔达湖地区的 27 million 游客相比，这个数字惊人之小。 抵达那里本身就是冒险的一部分。 要开车到达这个村庄，你需要挑战著名的 Strada della Forra，这是一条在悬崖上凿出的狭窄山路，充满了发夹弯、隧道和令人心惊胆战的陡坡。 它全长五英里，往简单了说极具挑战性。 它甚至出现在 2008 年詹姆斯·邦德电影《量子危机》开场中阿斯顿·马丁的追逐戏中。 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，路宽仅够一辆车通过，这意味着每当你遇到对面驶来的车辆时，经常必须倒车进入狭小的避让处。 我很庆幸地发现还有另一种选择。 Arriva Brescia 巴士从附近的 Limone sul Garda 运行至 Tremosine，让游客无需承受自行导航的压力即可享受壮丽的路线。 除了风景，抵达后还有很多可以享受的事物。 我在 Restaurant Sole La Fenice 品尝了传统意大利菜，而 Ristorante Miralago 则提供了俯瞰加尔达湖的全景，在日落时分尤其壮丽。 另一个亮点是入住装修精美的 Locanda al Castelletto。 这家酒店充满了特色，其餐厅供应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，这是一个正在经营的农场，游客可以在那里观看当地奶酪的制作，品尝产品并购买一些带回家。 对于喜欢徒步的人来说，一条陡峭的小路穿过数世纪之久的祭坛，通往 Montecastello 圣所——这是加尔达最著名且神圣的场所之一，位于湖上高耸的岩脊上。 如果你的腿能吃得消，这次攀登是非常值得的。 在 Tremosine sul Garda 度过一段时间后，最让我难以忘怀的是那份宁静。 这是一个提醒你并非每个假期都必须快节奏（100mph）的地方——慢下来有其真正的美感。尤其是当你身在 Strada della Forra 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。
预订信息 Boutique Hotel Bogliaco (hotelbogliaco.com) 的标准间房价每晚 £144 起。Locanda al Castelletto (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。波多圣多（Porto Santo）是马德拉群岛中一个更为安静且沙滩更广的姐妹岛。它的主要吸引力正是马德拉和加那利群岛无法提供的东西——一份宁静。
马德拉每年迎来 2.2 million 名游客，而特内里费岛这一数字则高达 700 万，相比之下，只有大约 50,000 人前往波多圣多。这座拥有 5,000 居民的岛屿可以通过从大岛首府丰沙尔出发、乘坐两个半小时的轮渡到达。
海浪可能会有些颠簸，但这段旅程绝对值得。波多圣多的核心特色在于其一条几乎完整、长达 5.5 英里的金沙滩，几乎贯穿了岛屿南海岸的全长。
这一点至关重要，因为马德拉几乎没有沙滩——那里大多是火山卵石或岩石。因此，对于在这个群岛中寻找经典海滩度假体验的人来说，波多圣多是首选之地。
这里的海滩沙子因其所谓的疗效而当地闻名，特别是针对关节和皮肤病。人们专门前往这里将自己埋在沙子里，或接受泥沙治疗。无论是否真的有效，像小海龟一样把自己埋进地里，听起来是度过一个下午的不错方式。
在完成“自我治疗”后，进行一次快速浸泡以洗去残留的沙子可能就成自然。该岛清澈、平静的青绿色海水非常适合游泳，这与马德拉大部分岩石嶙峋的海岸线截然不同，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，岛上仍有火山山丘和山峰，如 Pico do Facho 和 Pico do Castelo，提供简短的徒步路线，可俯瞰全岛及大海的壮丽景色。岛上还有足够的平地，容纳了一个由 Seve Ballesteros 设计的备受推崇的高尔夫球场。
在当地名人方面，波多圣多最著名的子嗣是克里斯托弗·哥伦布，他在前往美洲航行之前曾居住于此。您可以参观位于主镇 Vila Baleira 的克里斯托弗·哥伦布故居博物馆。
从马德拉出发，只需一次短途飞行或上述轮渡即可到达，许多人将波多圣多作为海滩一日游的附加项目，而非独立的目的地。
这座岛屿提供了金色的沙滩、可靠的温暖以及一种旨在让人放松身心的缓慢节奏。随着旅行者在寻找更平静、更悠闲的住宿时开始跳出欧洲经典的传统海滩目的地，它在今年正获得越来越多的关注。波多圣多被列入了 Expedia 的岛屿热点名单，过去一年其关注度激增 85%。

或者即使是度过一个夜晚，这座诺福克的小镇 为游客提供了极其丰富的迷人海滨乐趣，JULIE DELAHAYE 说道
经典的英国海滨 假期就像周日 烤肉——它需要所有 正确的配菜。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、 不错的酒吧，当然，还有 一片美丽的沙滩。 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。 所以当我访问大雅茅斯时， 我并没有指望它 能满足所有这些条件， 因为它收到的评价褒贬不一。 这座诺福克小镇 有时也承受着不公正的差评。 但当地人 James Cossey 告诉我：“ 你永远不会在计划一次出游时失败， 尤其是当你带着孩子时。 我讨厌它被人们诟病。” 在周末带着一个正处于 “拒绝静止超过 30 秒”阶段的 幼儿进行访问， 我必须说我同意。 整个周末没有任何时刻 让我们缺乏有趣的事情可做。 主海滨大道两旁林立着各种 游乐园、游戏厅和咖啡馆。 我的首选是前往 Joyland (joyland.org.uk)，这是大雅茅斯著名的 主题公园，自 1949 年起开放。 由于身高限制，这些公园对于 幼儿来说可能效果不一， 但我们能够带小家伙 体验至少四个项目—— 包括传奇的“超级蜗牛” (Super Snails)。 这个项目由一辆蜗牛形状的车辆 在一条小轨道上行驶， 我曾错误地认为这不会 特别刺激。 当第一个项目开始时， 我很快就被证明错了。
沙滩即便在西班牙 也毫无违和感”
跌落发生时，我真的把手把握得紧了一点！直到我在社交媒体上发布了骑行照片，才真正意识到“蜗牛”的传承——我收到了许多朋友和同事发来的消息，他们兴高采烈地分享了关于蜗牛和格雷特亚茅斯 (Great Yarmouth) 的愉快童年回忆。对我来说，这总结了这个小镇的魅力——一切都充满了怀旧感，但又带有一点俏皮的色彩。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们的注意力，但由于有太多东西可以探索，而且那些小火车在现场所有孩子中都大受欢迎，我们在那里待了足足一个多小时。这是行程中的亮点之一。至于那俏皮的一面，我们采纳了工作人员的建议，“按下任何需要按下按钮的地方”。结果呢？我们“偷听到”了模型人物之间的对话——这真是太有趣了。不过在到达模型高尔夫度假村时要提醒一下——那里有一些相当火辣的场景，绝对感觉不到健康纯洁，但对成年人来说却非常搞笑……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 2p 投币机的游戏厅，以及一些给孩子玩的游乐设施和景点，尽管这些对我们的孩子来说稍微太大了。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，我去过一些比这里更热闹的码头，但它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，在孩子消耗精力的同时欣赏海滨景色。说到能量，我们决定在萨拉茶室 (Sara’s Tearooms) 停下来补充能量。在看到分量的那一刻，我就知道我们选对了。这家海滨咖啡馆的菜单上有汉堡、鱼类炸薯条和全英式早餐等，这里的三明治配料填得满满当当，薯条在盘子里堆成小山。食物美味，而且它能很好地满足我对无麸质饮食的需求，这令我印象深刻。这家家族经营的咖啡馆——包括萨拉本人亲手制作的蛋糕——氛围如此温馨热情，而且地处所有游乐园之间，非常方便，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) 在接手父母的生意后经营这家海滨咖啡馆，他非常乐意聊天并分享一些建议，包括敦促我在周三晚上小镇举行每周烟花秀时回来（这将持续到 8 月 26）。至于海滩？我没预料到会有如此广阔的金黄色沙滩，在西班牙或葡萄牙那样的地方也不会显得违和。诚然，我是在一个 28C 的周末访问的，因此所有感觉都更像西班牙而不是诺福克 (Norfolk)，但我认为天气并不是我如此印象深刻的唯一原因。那里有充足的空间铺开毛巾，而且海滩非常 26

这里到处都是在堆沙堡、在海里游泳，以及在海滨大道沿线众多冰淇淋店休息的家庭。我对这个小镇唯一的抱怨是公共厕所不多——所以你要么得决定在某家咖啡馆买点东西以使用他们的设施，要么需要稍微规划一下上厕所的时间，而对于带着一名幼儿的家长来说，这并非特别容易。在镇上停车没有问题。诚然，我们是在旅游非高峰期前往的，但那是一个炎热且阳光明媚的周末，所以我已经准备好要绕圈子找一段时间车位了。镇上有很多停车场，我们在靠近游乐海滩 (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。这个小镇并没有试图与奢华度假村、高端酒店或米其林风格的餐厅竞争。是的，镇上有些地方确实需要重新粉刷，但我认为很多英国目的地都是如此。我喜欢它没有过于精致的感觉——它廉价、愉快且具有典型的英国特色。
希腊悲剧

如果您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，任何被发现违反指南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，一个容易让旅行者陷入困境的规定是关于鞋类的。高跟鞋或其他鞋底尖锐的鞋子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。
据 Saga 称，在克里斯托弗·诺兰的电影《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）上映后，人们的兴趣被进一步激发，导致上周的 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，不同目的地之间的规则可能存在显著差异。”
“游客可能会因为破坏公物、进入未经授权的区域以及在限制区域内饮食而面临罚款——即使违规行为并非故意。这就是为什么遵守规则，并随行一名能够解释目的地或古迹的历史、礼仪和规则的行程经理或导游至关重要。”

作为第一次为人父母就去度假，这简直令人胆战心惊——但在经历了为人父母最初几个月那令人精疲力竭的时光后，我从未如此渴望一次假期。我和妻子决定带着我们四个月大的双胞胎前往位于大加那利岛 (Gran Canaria) Bahia Feliz 的 TUI Blue Orquidea 度假村。那是一次仅四个半小时的短途飞行，采用全包式服务，且对家庭非常友好。无论你认为我们是勇敢、鲁莽还是天真，我很高兴地告诉大家，我们不仅挺过来了，而且还很享受！以下是我给其他新手父母的五个建议……
准备充分大有裨益 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 点办理登机手续的压力。 在起飞和降落时准备好奶瓶至关重要。 我们购买了 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（距离仅 20 分钟）的私人接送服务绝对物超所值。这意味着我们避开了漫长的办理入住队列，而且提前打电话后，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 在度假前我最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，根本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，这给了我们信心。即使我们的孩子在餐厅里哭闹，由于环境太嘈杂，超过五米远的人根本听不到，而且没有一个人看起来觉得被打扰了。 酒店的自助餐设置种类极其丰富，但更重要的是，这意味着我们可以轮流取餐，而另一方留在原地照看孩子。
计划，计划，再计划 当你带着婴儿时，必须放慢行程速度。目标是每天只做一两件重要的事情。我们很快学会了在每次喂奶后立即准备好下次喂奶的奶瓶——下一次喂奶的时间很快就到了。喂完奶后，你最多有三小时的空档进行活动，否则他们就会变得烦躁，所以尽量提前计划或预订好活动。 在这次旅行之前，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正确的事情之一就是参观了由 TUI 婴儿与幼儿俱乐部工作人员提供的婴儿水疗 (baby spa) —— 这是一种以感官为主的体验，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、小睡、游泳、晚餐然后睡觉。如此循环。
不要害怕寻求帮助 带着婴儿旅行永远不可能完全没有压力，我们离开房间时从未忘记携带额外的尿布和湿纸巾（在附近的 Spar 超市补货），以应对任何突发状况。但不知为何，一切都显得可以掌控。泳池边有一个带有空调的婴儿休息室 (Baby Lounge)，简直是救星，我们经常使用
每天都要给孩子换尿布，或者只是需要一段安静的时光。 婴儿俱乐部 (The Baby Club) 需要额外付费，但这意味着我们可以将宝宝交给经过培训的员工照顾几个小时，然后去享受泳池或水疗之旅（很高兴地说，我两次以上都体验了这两项）。
预订详情 TUI 提供前往西班牙大加那利岛的七晚假期，入住 4T TUI BLUE Orquidea 酒店，全包价格每人 £900 起，基于两名成人和一名儿童共用双床房，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，可乘船前往莫甘，成人每人 £45 起，儿童 (3-12 岁) 每人 £28，儿童 (0-2 岁) 免费。 tuimusement.com / uk
“小威尼斯”，您可以乘坐渡轮抵达。 对于带宝宝预订船游，我之前犹豫不决 (50 / 50)，但事实证明，放弃婴儿车改用背带一点也不困难。 我们的 Ergobaby Omni 婴儿背带采用网眼设计，在炎热的天气中表现良好，让我们能够徒步探索村庄里美丽且古朴的街道和水道。 莫甘有一个漂亮的沙滩，我们让孩子们第一次把脚趾浸在海水中。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。而那时我也开始思考下次我们可以去哪里。

黑莓果酱 准备：20 分钟 • 烹饪：40 分钟（外加一夜浸泡）• 约可制作 2.2 升（约 8 罐果酱），• 可轻松减半分量 • 简单 用您夏季过剩的果实制作这款简单的黑莓果酱——配上新鲜白面包堪称完美。使用果酱糖（含添加果胶）以确保凝固。 • 1.8kg 黑莓 • 1 ½kg 果酱糖（含添加果胶） • 1 个柠檬的汁液和籽 • 拇指大小的一小块黄油（可选） • 1
由 Good Food 美食总监 CASSIE BEST 为您呈现
溶解，这样在正式开始制作果酱时，您就不用担心果实被过度烹煮。次日早晨，快速搅拌一下，然后再次放置一旁，直到您准备好开始烹饪。 2
在开始之前，将一个小碟子放入冰箱冷冻室。取一个果酱锅或一个大口宽底锅（锅越宽、口径越大，果酱制作速度越快，因此果酱锅是最理想的），将浆果倒入锅中，刮净所有果汁和任何未溶解的糖。搅拌入柠檬汁，然后收集所有柠檬籽，将它们固定在茶叶滤网或一块细布中，再放入锅内（将籽与果实一起烹煮可以提取其中的果胶，帮助果酱凝固）。
你的 灵魂
用小火加热黑莓，直到所有糖完全溶解，然后煮沸并炖 5 分钟。关闭热源，将少量热的糖浆状果酱舀在冷却的碟子上。待其冷却后，用手指轻轻推动。如果产生皱褶，说明已经准备好并达到了凝固点。如果太稀而无法产生皱褶，将锅重新加热，分两次或三次，每次两三分钟地煮沸，每次在进行碟子检查前将锅移开，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——这将有助于溶解任何剩余的浮沫。在将果酱盛入消毒瓶之前，静置 15 分钟——这样可以让水果沉淀，防止其下沉。果酱在阴凉干燥处可保存至少六个月。开封后请冷藏保存。
黑莓、柠檬及马斯卡彭 可颂布丁 准备：15 分钟 • 烹饪：30 分钟 • 另需 1 小时浸泡 • 简单 这是一款夏季风格的面包黄油布丁，让黑莓成为主角 • 4 个全黄油可颂 • 100g 马斯卡彭奶酪 • 100g 黑莓或黑加仑果酱 • 200g 黑莓 • 1 个柠檬，取皮屑 • 3 个大号鸡蛋 • 200ml 浓缩奶油，另留部分用于点缀 • 400ml 全脂牛奶 • 2 茶匙香草提取物 • 3 汤匙金铸糖 1 将可颂剖开，在每个底部抹上一层厚厚的马斯卡彭奶酪，然后铺上一层果酱，并用顶部盖好。将填好馅的可颂切成大块，放入烘焙盘中（约 18 x 25cm）。撒上黑莓，将部分黑莓塞在可颂下方。 2 制作蛋奶冻：将 1 个柠檬的皮屑、鸡蛋、浓缩奶油（留一部分用于点缀）、全脂牛奶、香草提取物和 2 汤匙糖放入量杯中，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、黑莓及松子 开放式三明治 准备：5 分钟 • 烹饪： 5 分钟 • 2 人份 • 简单 尝试这款烤制美味，作为一份快捷且与众不同的午餐或早午餐。细腻的里科塔奶酪与酸甜的莓果相得益彰 • 2 汤匙枫糖浆 • 150g 包装黑莓 • 4 片你最喜欢的一款面包（我们使用了酸种面包） • 100g 软里科塔奶酪 • 1 汤匙烤松子 • 少许薄荷叶 1 用中火在煎锅中加热枫糖浆。加入黑莓烹饪 4-5 分钟，用木勺背面压碎部分水果使其软化并形成糖浆。烤面包。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，当太阳落下时，花园并不一定会失去光彩。事实上，有些植物会将它们最优秀的特质保留到一天之中的较晚时候。它们的香气会增强，浅色的花朵会发出更亮的光芒，而飞蛾也会开始造访富含花蜜的花朵。少量的夜晚种植可以将露台、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 攀援植物在提供夜晚趣味方面效果极佳，因为它们在鼻尖的高度提供香气。忍冬（金银花）是一个经典选择，尤其是种植在拱门、凉亭或开窗附近。许多品种在整个夏天开花，散发出一种在晚上更加明显且甜美的香气。 星花茉莉 (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季香气浓郁，而常绿的光泽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面以获得保护。
黄昏时发光的花卉 浅色花朵在夜晚花园中非常出色，因为它们在弱光环境下依然显得明亮。白色波斯菊、浅色大丽花、弗洛克斯（草地香气）和烟草花都可以让花境在黄昏时显得更亮。弗洛克斯在休息区附近尤为迷人，因为许多品种将仲夏的色彩与柔和的香气结合在一起。烟草花值得种植在小径或露台附近。其管状花朵在晚上香气更浓，有助于吸引飞蛾和其他夜行传粉者。夜晚普利姆罗（月见草）是另一个好选择，其花朵在一天中较晚时候开放，并在黑暗后提供花蜜。

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.

……随着光线变化而灵动。针茅和芒类带来了律动感、种头和质感，尤其是种植在低角度阳光可以穿透的地方。 银色叶片在黄昏后同样大有可为。药用鼠尾草、蒿属和薰衣草能反射柔和的晚霞光线，有助于提亮较暗的区域。 如果您希望飞蛾和其他夜行访客感到舒适，请保持户外照明温和。 通过几个精心选择的布置，花园在一天中最热的时段过去之后，依然能保持其生命力。

本月可以种植内里尼球根 (nerine bulbs) 以增加秋季色彩。选择一个温暖、阳光充足、避风且土壤排水良好的位置，最好在墙边。种植内里尼·鲍登尼 (nerine bowdenii) 时，使球根颈部仅在地面上方可见，球根间距紧凑但不接触。浇水后，避免不必要的移动。 4
如果新梢已准备好，请对夏季经过修剪训练的苹果树进行修剪，而非标准的独立生长树。在 8 月，当新梢下三分之一部分木质化时，缩短长侧枝，使光线能够照射到成熟的果实，并促进结果短枝的生长。至于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。不要折弯叶子以强行催熟，而应使用叉子小心地将球根挑起，在温暖、通风且避风的地方干燥，待皮层变得像纸一样后，仅储存坚实且未损坏的洋葱。
大丽花 (DAHLIA)
大丽花在 8 月处于最佳状态，为夏末的边境花坛带来大胆的色彩和丰盛的景象。它们的形态从单瓣的、对传粉者友好的花朵，到整齐的绒球状、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打造乡村花园风情、热带戏剧效果或持久切花的理想选择。 大丽花 ‘多佛主教’ (Dahlia ‘Bishop of Dover’) 是一个单瓣品种，淡紫色花瓣向中心渐变为白色。大丽花 ‘公园公主’ (Dahlia ‘Park Princess’) 作为一种抢眼的仙人掌品种提供了结构感，而大丽花 ‘达莉娜最大桃色’ (Dahlia ‘Dalina Maxi Peach’) 则拥有绝佳的柔和色彩。 大丽花最适合在温暖、阳光充足、避风且土壤肥沃、排水良好的位置生长。较小品种适用于容器种植，而较高或花朵较大的大丽花通常需要坚固的支撑。在干旱期间保持植物水分，尤其是盆栽植物，并在生长旺盛时定期施肥。 本月，请保持花期延续。通过将花茎剪至一对叶片处来去除枯萎的花朵，而不是直接移除枯死的花头。在大风或暴雨后检查绑带，并移除任何受损的茎干。 要了解更多信息，请观看在 Blue Diamond Garden Centres 的 Bridgemere 展示花园拍摄的《分步园艺》。 趣味知识：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努力。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），这些线虫会破坏根系并削弱作物。
草莓植株虽然慷慨，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。匍匐茎使这一过程变得简单，让您可以从健康的亲本植株中获得年轻的替代品。
莱伊白蜡叶白果树 (Ley’s whitebeam) 是威尔士最稀有的树种之一。野外仅存约 17 棵，生长在布雷肯比肯斯 (Brecon Beacons) 陡峭的石灰岩悬崖上。
帮派草 (Pampas grass) 看起来很柔软，但处理时请小心。它的花序如羽毛般轻盈，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。

航空燃料价格飙升导致英国航空 (British Airways) 的母公司利润大跌。在持续的中东冲突影响下，国际航空集团 (IAG) 的数据下降了超过三分之一。
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)。一年前该数值为 €1.5bn。
综合燃料成本和排放费用增加了 €413m —— 这一 23% 的激增与美国和以色列与伊朗的战争有关。
营收稳定在 €8.9bn。营业利润下降 25% 至 €1.3bn。
首席执行官 Luis Gallego 坚持认为该集团具有“极佳的基本面”，其多元化的品牌组合意味着它能够很好地应对“短期逆风”。
这家同时拥有 Iberia、Vueling 和 Level 航空公司的企业表示，预计其整个网络的旅行需求将“保持强劲”。
今年下半年的席位已有 57% 被预订，且这些订单的营收与去年持平。
该公司补充道，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，该期间的营收增长了1%，达到€16.1bn。今年上半年，约有57.9 million名乘客乘坐IAG的航班——与2025年相比相对稳定。
加列戈先生（Mr Gallego）补充道：“凭借这些业绩，IAG再次证明，尽管受到中东危机及更广泛地缘政治事件的影响，其优秀的基业仍在支持为我们的股东持续创造价值。”
Hargreaves Lansdown的股票分析师阿林·奇克里（Aarin Chiekrie）表示：“乍看之下，标题数据可能令人失望，营收基本持平，且由于燃料成本飙升，第二季度利润以两位数的速度下降。”
“但背景至关重要，其利润表现比许多同行更为坚挺。”
“得益于对日常成本的严格控制以及低于预测的燃料账单，其表现甚至好于市场的预期。”

橄榄球联盟：超级联赛 超级联赛
作者：JAMES SMAILES 圣海伦斯队前往古老的约克市，杰克逊·希斯廷 (Jackson Hastings) 警告称，他的球队需要应对的是约克骑士队的“历史功勋”们。 约克队本赛季的表现令许多人感到惊讶，他们在第一轮就击败了冠军球队赫尔 KR (Hull KR)。 在两名比赛老将保罗·麦克舍恩 (Paul McShane) 和保罗·沃恩 (Paul Vaughan) 的鼓舞性领导下，圣海伦斯队深知，在上次输给德比对手威根队之后，如果想重回胜轨，就必须处理好这些资深球员。 “他们那里有一些经验丰富、入行多年的伙计，还有一些令人兴奋的年轻后卫，所以我们压力很大，”前“钢铁之男”得主希斯廷说道。“希望我们能打出最好的橄榄球风格并获得结果。” 圣海伦斯队临时主教练埃蒙·奥卡罗尔 (Eamon O’Carroll) 召回了他的老将亚历克斯·沃尔姆斯利 (Alex Walmsley) 来协助年轻的队伍。 约克队将给新签约的马蒂·英格利什 (Matty English) 提供首秀机会，他此前从哈德斯菲尔德巨人队 (Huddersfield Giants) 转会而来。 在法国南部，杰克·辛菲尔德 (Jack Sinfield) 回到韦克菲尔德三位一体队 (Wakefield Trinity) 阵中，他们正寻求连续第七场胜利，以维持前两名的希望。 他们将对阵处于两场连败中的卡塔兰巨龙队 (Catalans Dragons)。
重大机会 赫尔在追求荣耀
尚未破灭
查莉·赫尔 (CHARLEY HULL) 和洛蒂·沃德 (Lottie Woad) 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领先。 在兰开夏郡海岸具有挑战性的多风条件下，两名球员均打出平杆 71 杆。其中，寻求首个大满贯冠军的赫尔在第 17 洞通过沙坑球打进，获得小鸟球。 沃德在转场时以低于标准杆两杆的表现势头良好，但在第 11 洞和 12 洞错失了小鸟球机会，随后失去势头，在第 14 洞丢了一杆，最后以柏忌收场。 “今天是很不错的一天，”沃德说。“今天得分显然更难。旗杆位置更刁钻了一些，风力也强了一点。我只需要尝试多打几个小鸟球。” 沃德和赫尔目前都落后于领先者——韩国选手柳海冉 (Ryu Hae-ran) 五杆。
预约开球时间
贾德·特朗普 (JUDD TRUMP) 在锁定上海大师赛决赛席位后，今天将把绿色台呢换成高尔夫球场绿地。 特朗普在半决赛中以 10-6 击败世界冠军吴以栋，将在明天的决赛中对阵凯伦·威尔逊 (Kyren Wilson) 或赵欣桐。 那两人将在今天交锋，不过特朗普的心思将放在别处。 特朗普说：“我不知道我会做什么。也许打打高尔夫，但我还没想那么远。也许做一点练习，或者打打高尔夫，或者出去看看上海的风景。”
续约至 2030 年
索尔队 (SALE) 勾手球员内森·季布卢 (Nathan Jibulu) 已将其在 Gallagher Prem 俱乐部的合同延长至 2030 年。 出生于伦敦的季布卢现年 23 岁，他在去年夏天离开哈莱昆队 (Harlequins) 后签署的索尔队合同仅剩一年。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队。 季布卢（见下文）在俱乐部网站上表示：“我非常喜欢在索尔队的第一年。我们知道赛季结果并不如预期，但氛围一直非常好，很多年轻人在大赛中获得了大量经验。” “凭借本赛季的签约，我们正在打造一支能够赢得冠军的队伍，我想成为其中的一员。”

凯蒂·鲍尔特 (KATIE BOULTER)、哈丽叶·达特 (Harriet Dart)、米卡·斯托贾夫列维奇 (Mika Stojsavljevic) 和乔迪·伯里奇 (Jodie Burrage) 已被列入下个月在中国举行的比莉·简·金杯 (Billie Jean King Cup) 的大不列颠队名单中。
由于腿部压力性骨折，艾玛·拉杜卡努 (Emma Raducanu) 在温布尔登网球锦标赛前退出，因此缺席。索奈·卡塔尔 (Sonay Kartal) 同样受伤。
英国排名第 3 的弗兰·琼斯 (Fran Jones) 未入选，因为球队队长安妮·克奥塔冯 (Anne Keothavong) 决定保留 4 名击败澳大利亚队获得资格的球员中的三名，由世界排名第 69 位的鲍尔特取代凯蒂·斯旺 (Katie Swan)。
在比赛临近时，仍有增加第五名队员的选项。该赛事将于 9 月 22-27 日在深圳举行。
英国队将首先在四分之一决赛中对阵捷克队，后者的入选名单包括温布尔登冠军琳达·诺斯科娃 (Linda Noskova)。
比利时、中国、连续两届冠军意大利、哈萨克斯坦，以及五次冠军西班牙和乌克兰共同构成了参赛阵容。
本·斯托克斯 (BEN STOKES) 仅获得 12 跑，在约克的一场座无虚席的比赛中，达勒姆队被约克郡队击败。
在单日杯 (One-Day Cup) 的交锋中，斯托克斯被廉价出局，达勒姆队一度被削减至 42-4，随后以 165 分被淘汰。
约克郡队在回应中以 5-2 开局，斯托克斯拿到了威尔·卢克斯顿 (Will Luxton) 的出局点，但詹姆斯·沃顿 (James Wharton) 和萨姆·怀特曼 (Sam Whiteman) 的不败半个世纪得分让主队在仅损失三个出局点的情况下获胜。
里希·帕特尔 (Rishi Patel) 仅用 61 个球就砍下 115 分，帮助莱斯特郡队在面对北安普顿郡队时追回了 247 分的目标。
帕特尔击出了五个六分球，而本·迈克 (Ben Mike) 也迅速取得了 71 分，莱斯特郡队在追分过程中仅损失了 2 个出局点。
诺亚·泰恩 (Noah Thain) 为埃塞克斯队连续两次获得世纪得分，但徒劳无功，詹姆斯·富勒 (James Fuller) 的不败 58 分让汉普郡队获胜。

前英格兰队长纳赛尔·胡赛因 (Nasser Hussain) 敦促哈里·布鲁克 (Harry Brook) 变得成熟，因为这位约克郡人被弃用，未能领导测试赛球队。
尽管布鲁克在最近几个月是本·斯托克斯的得力助手，并得到了即将卸任的测试赛队长的认可，但他在晋升中被忽视，因为乔·鲁特 (Joe Root) 本周被重新任命为队长。
男子板球执行董事罗布·基 (Rob Key) 透露，布鲁克作为一名重要球员的工作量较大。
提升你的竞技水平 (RAISE YOUR GAME)
弗莱明 (Fleming) 和回归的英格兰队长乔·鲁特将成为一个合伙关系，为一支迷失方向的球队带来稳定和成功。
麦卡勒姆 (McCullum) 依然是整体蓝图中的重要部分，掌舵英格兰白球球队。许多人仍然相信斯托克斯可以在明年的灰植杯 (Ashes) 战役前重新参赛。
基 (图中右侧) 在勋爵桥球场 (Lord's) 为英格兰队发布其最新愿景时，并未排除这位达勒姆全能球员强势回归的可能性。
当被问及弗莱明是否提出过这个想法时，基表示：“我们目前还没有讨论到那里，但这将是一个极好的……”

故事。”当被问及斯托克斯本人是否给出过任何迹象时，面带微笑的基（Key）补充道：“没有，但他没有给我也不会让我感到惊讶。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。就我而言是这样的。” 弗莱明，53，在担任新西兰队队长的长期任期内是一位备受尊敬的人员管理专家和战术家——在此期间，他与麦库勒姆建立了深厚的联系。 当英格兰和威尔士板球委员会（ECB）试图避免以往在建立分级教练体制时出现的紧张关系时，这种关系可能会对他们大有裨益——此前安迪·弗劳尔（Andy Flower）和阿什利·盖尔斯（Ashley Giles）未能达成默契；而马修·莫特（Matthew Mott）在他们尝试分担工作时则处于从属地位。 人们对弗莱明不负责接管即将到来的对阵巴基斯坦的系列赛感到不安。 在刚刚结束执掌钦奈超级国王队的长期任期后，他将在下个月抵达这个国家之前休息一段时间，这意味着在灰植杯（Ashes）之前，他将缺席七场测试赛且没有主场系列赛。 基坚持认为：“我的工作是找到最合适的人。 “对于任何候选人来说，必须参加巴基斯坦系列赛并不是一项强制要求。如果真是那样，那么可选范围将被极大地限制。 “一个月前，这可能不在很多人的考虑范围内——包括我和斯蒂芬。在生活中，有很多你必须要做的事情，这些事情早已提前规划，对他来说也非常重要。 “所以，必须在场并不是一项要求。 “我认为在斯蒂芬和乔的身上，我们找到了两个最合适的人来带领一支潜力巨大的队伍。 “我一如既往地乐观，认为我们拥有最合适的人才来推动英国板球向前发展。”
在考虑他被忽视的原因时，身为全格式常规成员和白球赛队长的身份并不是一个考量因素。 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）前几小时，在一家夜总会外发生的冲突继续投射着巨大的阴影，他偶尔鲁莽的击球方式也是如此。 虽然侯赛因强调了布鲁克在有限局面赛球队中所做的工作——他带领 T20 队攀升至排名之首——但他对他 27 岁的幼稚感到遗憾。“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一点失望，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，坦诚地告诉他：‘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。哈里，你得整理好自己，因为我认为你应该成为下一任英格兰测试板球队长’。”

作者：詹姆斯·托尼，发自格拉斯哥 乔什·克尔 (JOSH KERR) 将在主场争取英联邦运动会的荣耀——但他预料到将面临另一位苏格兰人的挑战。 这位世界一英里纪录保持者是今晚男子一英里项目的夺冠热门。 在一场包含澳大利亚卫冕 1500 米冠军奥利·霍尔 (Ollie Hoare) 和卡梅隆·迈尔斯 (Cameron Myers) 在内的高水平决赛中，金牌是唯一的追求。 不过，克尔称，在格拉斯哥最值得关注的是同样来自苏格兰的杰克·怀特曼 (Jake Wightman)（插图，中心）。 他表示：“杰克的竞技状态极其出色，他是那种能在重大锦标赛中脱颖而出的运动员。顶级选手都认为自己能赢，这正是比赛如此令人兴奋的原因。” 距离克尔当年年仅 13 岁、在当地举行的苏格兰青少年锦标赛中获得第五名已经过去了 15 年，当时他也创下了至今仍是他个人最佳成绩的铅球和跳高纪录。 但他承认，他认不出第一次访问时的斯科茨顿 (Scotstoun) 了。 克尔说：“我对这里有很多美好的回忆，但这里总是刮风，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扮演配角。

她是如此特别 作者：威尔·詹宁斯 艾丽丝·科塔斯 (ELLIS KOTTAS) 在一场充满争议的英联邦决赛重赛中失去银牌后，心情十分复杂。 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，该场比赛在斯科茨顿发生了四起碰撞事故。 科塔斯（右）以第三名完赛，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上诉后
这位澳大利亚人的说话速度和他跑步一样快，他坚持说自己一直在研读 72 年前帝国运动会上著名的“奇迹英里”的故事。 他说：“你们需要记住，当时罗杰·班尼斯特赢得了金牌，而约翰·兰迪持有世界纪录，所以我希望能反转那个角色，但我们拭目以待。” “参加锦标赛是完全不同的比赛。你必须应对更多的因素。在奥运会上，雅各布·英格布里格森跑得快了 2 秒。”
2 sidebars of 200 each 作者：詹姆斯·里德 威尔士公主 艾玛·芬尼凯恩 (Emma Finucane) 在格拉斯哥的英联邦运动会上通过冲刺夺得个人短跑冠军，占据主导地位。 芬尼凯恩（右）击败了卫冕冠军 艾莱丝·安德鲁斯 (Ellesse Andrews) 和英国队友 索菲·凯普韦尔 (Sophie Capewell)，在没有输掉任何一场比赛的情况下轻松获胜。 这锁定了芬尼凯恩在本届运动会的第二枚金牌，此前她在周四与 劳里·托马斯 (Lowri Thomas) 和 瑞安·埃德蒙德 (Rhian Edmund) 共同夺得了团体短跑金牌，而她现在将有机会在加拿大完成一次辉煌的三连冠。
加拿大被拒绝，随后澳大利亚和毛里求斯都请求重新进行比赛。 运动会申诉陪审团维持了对夏尔马 (Sharma) 的取消资格决定，并且至关重要地决定，比赛于昨天上午重新进行。这一次，科塔斯 (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。” “如果我拿的是那枚原本的奖牌，而基本上有一半的竞争者被刷掉了，那并不是靠我自己的实力赢得的。”

明天的竞轮赛。她说：“我整晚都在为威尔士之龙而骑行。” “我的家人就在观众席中，我父亲也会在观看。我冲过终点线，这是为了威尔士，为了我的家人，以及为了每一个帮助我走到这里的人。” 这位 23 岁的人从一开始就显得不可阻挡，以 10.322 秒的运动会纪录最快速度通过预赛。 芬尼凯恩在半决赛中击败了获得铜牌的威尔士队友 埃德蒙兹 (Edmunds)，随后在决赛中轻松超过同样是奥运冠军的 凯普韦尔，锁定了金牌。

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地战斗，向我展示了对球衣的忠诚之意，以及成为一名真正领导者的价值。 “你通过你的榜样作用实现了这一点，每一天都是如此：言语寥寥，但行动无数。 “在我还是孩子时你保护我，在我年少时你引导我，在我成年后你激励我。你是我有幸共事过的最伟大的球员。 “我们会想念你的，队长。但你的星光将永远引导我们。”
弗朗科·巴雷西：8, 1960 – 31, 2026 MAY 8, 1960 – JULY 31, 2026
“我们会想念你的，队长” AC米兰在俱乐部传奇弗朗科·巴雷西以 66 岁之龄去世后，发布了一篇令人动容的告别词。 这位前米兰队长整个职业生涯都效力于该俱乐部，在 20 个职业赛季中出场 719 次。 米兰官方 X 账号的一篇帖子写道：“在弗朗科·巴雷西离世后，整个 AC米兰的历史都陷入了泪水中。 “他的榜样精神和正直将永远铭刻在俱乐部的 DNA 中，就像他标志性的 6 号球衣一样。” 在俱乐部效力 25 年的 AC米兰巨星保罗·马尔蒂尼将巴雷西描述为
来自悉尼的 ALASDAIR GOLD 报道 罗伯托·德泽比 准备在这个赛季带领 大肆挥霍的托特纳姆 开启一段旅程—— 并向一名开出租车的 阿森纳球迷证明， 想要到达目的地是需要 花钱的。 这位意大利教练在这个夏天得到了热刺的支持，俱乐部两次打破了转会纪录，首先是 £85million 的马特乌斯·费尔南德斯，然后是 1 亿英镑m 的桑德罗·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。我们得看看”。 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（见下图），据了解，他们正在推进另一笔大交易，德泽比近日在悉尼对此有所暗示，但仅准备确认那是另一名攻击手。 当被问及所有的大额支出是否增加了他的压力时，这位 46 岁的教练摇了摇头，讲述了他在出发巡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，‘嘿，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，你们已经花了很多钱了’。 “我认为曼彻斯特城、利物浦、切尔西、阿森纳，为了保持在积分榜顶端，他们都花了钱。 “如果你现在想要竞争英超顶端，并将托特纳姆提升到最高水平，我们需要”
太妃糖处境艰难
作者：CHRIS BEESLEY 在太妃糖（埃弗顿）关于被要求支付给伯恩利的补偿金而遭遇两次驳回后，埃弗顿的所有者向俱乐部注入了 £38million。 该俱乐部曾请求英超委员会延迟付款，或在等待上诉期间将资金存入托管账户。 他们还对如果赢得上诉，伯恩利是否有能力偿还任何款项表示担忧，但这两项请求均被驳回。 所有者弗里德金集团被给予了一段期限来完成付款

以吸引顶尖球员，就像我们现在正在做的那样。” 热刺计划于今日（英国时间上午 10.45am, UK time）在悉尼的雅高体育场（Accor Stadium）与切尔西交手，届时将有 80,000 名球迷在场观看，这也是两队首次在伦敦以外地区进行的德比战。 根据热刺主教练的说法，德泽尔比将失去费尔南德斯的助力，后者正遭受小腿疲劳困扰，
但他们的上诉日期尚未确定。 该案件由英超委员会审理，涉及 2021 / 22 赛季。当时埃弗顿被裁定在三年的时间里违反了利润与可持续发展条例（PSR）。 伯恩利主张此次违规影响了他们留在英超联赛的机会，并就降级相关的损失寻求赔偿。 “ the Clarets”获得了 2600 万英镑m 的损害赔偿金以及 900 万英镑m 的利息。 作为回应，埃弗顿表示
以及詹姆斯·麦迪逊，由于在上一赛季大部分时间里因前十字韧带（ACL）损伤而缺阵，他在季前赛中一分钟也没有出场。 德泽尔比表示：“詹姆斯有一个小问题。我不想冒任何风险，尤其是在这个赛季的这个阶段。这对我们显然很重要，对他和马特乌斯（Mateus）同样重要。现在不是冒险的正确时机。” 德泽尔比支持科诺尔·加拉格尔在本赛季产生影响，尽管
在麦迪逊缺阵的情况下，这位中场球员将承担 No.10 角色，而更深层的位置将由托纳利和费尔南德斯主导。 加拉格尔承认，位置竞争非常激烈。这位前切尔西中场表示：“当你为热刺这样的一家顶级俱乐部效力时，如果首发位置没有竞争，那反而是不对的。我们
他们对这一决定感到“惊讶和愤怒”，并声称，“考虑到该裁决是建立在俱乐部在财务年度的任何时间点都可能违反财务规则的原则之上，这一裁决为英国足球设定了一个危险且不可行的先例。” 当时，俱乐部消息人士坚持认为，切尔西高层将对该裁决进行强有力的彻底抗争，而主教练大卫·莫耶斯表示：“我觉得我们已经付出了应有的代价。”他还透露，老板告诉他，这一决定不会对其夏季转会预算产生负面影响。
已经签下了一些非常出色的球员，这对俱乐部来说非常有利。 “而且他们都是很棒的小伙子，而不仅仅是优秀的足球运动员，这非常重要——我们需要正确的人格和人员加入。” “这只会让我们变得更强。我们上次经历了一个非常艰苦的赛季，我们非常坚定且渴望作为一支球队共同进步。”
前约克队老板斯图尔特·梅纳德表示，自上周末遭到震惊的解雇以来，他收到的支持让他感到“不知所措”。 梅纳德在 4 月赢得国家联赛冠军，在缺席十年后带领约克队重返英格兰足球联赛（EFL），在最后一天的比赛中，凭借最后时刻的绝平球在排名第二的罗奇代尔队主场锁定升级名额。 “首先，在过去几天里，我在社交媒体上收到的支持信息让我不知所措。我阅读并感谢每一条信息，”
梅纳德在联赛经理协会（League Managers Association）网站的一份声明中说道。 “能够引导约克城队重返 EFL，我感到非常荣幸且自豪。在支持者们经历了 10 年的心酸之后，那里才是他们理应在的地方。” 约克队表示，解雇梅纳德（左）的决定是因为“足球俱乐部的发展方向和愿景存在分歧”，球队已任命前斯温登、米尔顿凯恩斯 Dons 和克劳利队老板斯科特·林赛接替这位 45 岁的教练。
令圣徒队艾克特担忧
作者：西蒙·皮奇 (SIMON PEACH) 在南安普顿主教练焦急等待英足协裁决之际，托恩达·艾克特 (TONDA ECKERT) 承认，由于“间谍门”丑闻，他心中一直担心可能会受到进一步处罚。 在俱乐部承认三项监视指控——即被发现监视半决赛对手米德尔斯堡后，英格兰足球联赛 (EFL) 独立纪律委员会将圣徒队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 个积分。 艾克特（右）面临三项英足协不当行为指控，他表示：“如果我说我没在担心这件事，那就是在撒谎。当决定下来时，我们会感到轻松。”
海登·穆林斯 (HAYDEN MULLINS) 被任命为英乙俱乐部纽波特的候任主教练。 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，并在效力于维卡里奇路球场期间两次担任沃特福德临时主帅。 这位 47 岁的教练接替了克里斯蒂安·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 EFL 地位后辞职。
作者：瑞安·泰勒 (RYAN TAYLOR) 伯恩茅斯正在敲定签下本菲卡中后卫安东尼奥·席尔瓦 (Antonio Silva) 的交易。 “樱桃军团”与这家葡萄牙巨头已达成协议超过一周，协议价值包括初始 2140 万英镑m 及 430 万英镑m 的附加条款。但在本菲卡在欧联杯资格赛首回合 2-1 负于圣加仑足球俱乐部后，他们请求伯恩茅斯允许席尔瓦（左）参加第二回合比赛。 这位拥有 20 场国家队出场记录的葡萄牙国脚在周四 5-0 大胜瑞士球队的比赛中为本菲卡最后一次出场。 他于昨日飞抵英格兰进行体检。
足球：英超联赛倒计时
将避开沙特邀请
作者：保罗·戈斯特 (PAUL GORST) 前利物浦主帅阿尔内·斯洛特 (ARNE SLOT) 已准备好拒绝来自沙特职业联赛球队国民队的兴趣，他计划回归欧洲足球执教。 这位前费耶诺德教练在 2024 年夏天接替尤尔根·克洛普不到 12 个月后，便带领红军夺得了第 20 个联赛冠军，但他的第二个赛季则困难得多。 利物浦在英超联赛中总计输掉 12 场比赛，直到最后一天才勉强进入欧冠资格区。 在合同还剩一年时，斯洛特在体育总监理查德·休斯的决定下无奈离职。 此后，在有报道称沙特国民队对其感兴趣之前，斯洛特（插图）曾与富勒姆联系在一起。 在纽卡斯尔寻求马蒂亚斯·贾斯莱 (Matthias Jaissle) 以取代圣詹姆斯公园球场的埃迪·豪 (Eddie Howe) 之后，斯洛特被认为是以吉达为基地的该俱乐部的领跑竞争者之一。 然而，斯洛特的目标是重返欧洲执教。 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·胡尔绍夫 (Sipke Hulshoff) 和乔瓦尼·范布隆克霍斯特 (Giovanni van Bronckhorst) 随后已返回费耶诺德。
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月尝试签下琼斯，并在今年夏天早些时候提出了一项价值 2100 万英镑m 的报价，但被拒绝了。 红军希望这名 25 岁球员的转会费接近 3500 万英镑m。本周在与雷克瑟姆（Wrexham）的友谊赛中，琼斯与队友在场上发生了激烈冲突。 国米愿意为琼斯支付接近 3000 万英镑m 的费用。琼斯的安菲尔德合同还剩一年，利物浦高层被认为认为，与其让他以低于估价的价格离开，不如在明年夏天让他自由转会。 在 1-0 战胜纽约雷克瑟姆的比赛中，这名中场球员与科斯塔斯·齐米卡斯（Kostas Tsimikas）以及多米尼克·索博斯卡伊（Dominik Szoboszlai）（插图）发生了激烈的争执，起因似乎是关于队长袖标的问题。 有人看到琼斯向这名匈牙利球员指指点点并做手势，当索博斯卡伊试图让他冷静下来时，他显得愈发沮丧。 随后齐米卡斯将队长袖标扔在地上，琼斯和索博斯卡伊则愤怒地在空中挥动手臂。 随后琼斯捡起袖标并拥抱了索博斯卡伊，而此时这名中场球员正面对着愤怒且烦躁的齐米卡斯。
最后通牒
作者：康纳·奥尼尔（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，要么放弃”的最终合同报价。 枪手已经询问了这位巴西国脚的情况，因为主帅米克尔·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，他们现在向这位球星发出了最后通牒。 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，不会再增加金额，也不会进行新一轮谈判。 如果维尼修斯接受，他的合同将被续签；然而，如果他拒绝该报价，马德里将在今年夏天开放出售大门，以防止这名巴西球员在明年夏天自由离队。 枪手在今年夏天已经通过从俱乐部布鲁格（Club Brugge）花费 £34million 签下克里斯托斯·措利斯（Christos Tzolis）来增强其进攻选择，并且正在追逐纽卡斯尔队长布鲁诺·吉马良斯（Bruno Guimaraes）。 阿尔特塔表示：“我们必须证明我们属于这个水平，我们希望提升并将这家足球俱乐部带入一个不同的维度。” “我们都知道这个转会窗的背景。从所有者到董事会，体育总监以及我本人，我们都知道我们想将这家俱乐部提升到一个不同的水平。” “这将需要更好的阵容和更好的个体。我们已经确定了在哪些方面有增长、改进以及演化比赛的机会，以及实现这一目标所需具备的条件。” “希望很快我们就能以非常具体的方式开始推进这些事情。”
马托斯 签至 2030 年
斯旺西（SWANSEA）主教练维托·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，在斯旺西以冠军联赛第 11 名完赛期间，他在 30 场联赛中赢得了 14 场。 “从我到达这里的那一刻起，我就感受到了斯旺西市与球迷及社区之间如此强大的联系，”马托斯说道。 “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：“维托在去年 11 月被任命后产生了相当大的影响，我们对他带领斯旺西市前进的方向感到兴奋。”

悬而未决
（接后页）
在他原籍巴西的假期（紧随其世界杯表现之后）与他的未来无关——仅仅是为了方便他的行程安排。 他们还坚称，阿森纳尚未就吉马良斯（Guimaraes）的问题与其进行任何直接接触，同时暗示该球员被灌输了一些关于转会的想法，而这些转会可能永远无法获得批准。 尽管有传言称阿森纳曾通过中间人提交了两份提案，但均被纽卡斯尔拒绝——最近的一份报价大约在 £70million 加上 500 万英镑m 的附加费。 可以肯定的是，现在关于具体报价的球权在阿森纳手中；据了解，如果纽卡斯尔考虑出售，所需的金额为 8000 万英镑m。 “喜鹊”首席执行官大卫·霍普金森（David Hopkinson）和体育总监罗斯·威尔逊（Ross Wilson）——后者于昨日飞往西班牙——已获得俱乐部沙特支持者的授权来处理此事。由于他的合同还剩两年，他们依然决定不予出售。 作为俱乐部队长，吉马良斯一直不愿像去年的亚历山大·伊萨克（Alexander Isak，见上图）那样公开鼓动转会。 但鉴于埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe）在周四卸任主教练，这种情况可能会发生改变。 新任德国主帅贾斯莱（Jaissle）将带来自己的后勤团队，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。
前往远方
作者：李·赖德 (LEE RYDER) 纽卡斯尔已确认埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe）辞去主教练职务。 这位 48 岁的主帅告诉“喜鹊”队，在经历了一段从拯救俱乐部免于降级到带领球队挺进卡拉宝杯的情感过山车后，他希望结束五年的执教生涯。 一份俱乐部声明称：“纽卡斯尔联宣布，埃迪·豪已向俱乐部告知他决定辞去主教练一职。” “俱乐部接受了埃迪的决定，并感谢他所做出的卓越贡献。” “同时离开俱乐部的还有教练杰森·廷代尔（Jason Tindall）、格雷姆·琼斯（Graeme Jones）、斯蒂芬·珀切斯（Stephen Purches）和西蒙·韦瑟斯通（Simon Weatherstone），以及性能主管丹·霍奇斯（Dan Hodges）。” 随后，豪（见上图）在一段感人的声明中表示：“经过一段时间的个人反思，我决定现在是我离开纽卡斯尔联主教练职位的正确时机。” “在将我的生命、内心和灵魂在不知疲倦的能量中倾注于这家俱乐部近五年之后，我认为离开、充电并休息是对我个人和俱乐部最有利的选择。这是我一生中的荣幸。”

还是逃跑？
作者：李·赖德 (LEE RYDER) 尽管阿森纳决心促成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（Bruno Guimaraes）将于明天报到参加季前训练营。 “喜鹊”队的其余队员于昨日飞往西班牙的拉曼加（La Manga），新任主帅马蒂亚斯·贾斯莱（Matthias Jaissle）预计将于今日抵达。 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，但他的未来依然在泰恩赛德（Tyneside）。 但目前尚不清楚吉马良斯是否会前往西班牙南部，因为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，现在报到训练并无益处。 但泰恩赛德的消息人士否认了关于布鲁诺推迟从巴西回来的原因与他的未来有关的说法。

药物禁令 已解除
由 ANDY SIMS 报道 切尔西边锋米哈伊洛·穆德里克（Mykhailo Mudryk）可以在英格兰足球协会（Football Association）和世界反兴奋剂机构（World Anti-Doping Agency）“解决了他的上诉”后立即恢复比赛，此前他因兴奋剂检测呈阳性而被禁赛。
这名乌克兰球员（右图）在 2024 年的一次药物检测中被检出含有低浓度的美多舒坦（meldonium，一种禁用物质）后被禁赛四年。穆德里克向体育仲裁法院（Court of Arbitration for Sport）提起上诉，而与此同时，世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）程序的变更意味着，如果他现在的检测结果相同，将不会被起诉。
英足协表示：“作为协议的一部分，穆德里克先生承认他犯了……”

“她在三到四岁期间可能有了很大进步，现在体格强壮，”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处理——今天的场地官方评级为“好至坚实，部分路段良好”。
William Hill发言人Lee Phelps表示... 对于古德伍德的博彩公司来说，这是漫长的一周，热门赛马的表现极其不稳定。我们昨天的表现稍好，成功地让受到高度支持的Talk In New York和Night Raider这两匹马落败。 我们希望在这一周圆满收官，并希望在今天的管事杯 (3.35) 中，受到大力支持的 SONDAD (从 10-1 变为 11-2) 不要为赌徒们带来丰厚回报。在这样的短途赛中，Charlie Hills始终是一位值得尊敬的练马师，而他的赛马 MITBAAHY (从 16-1 变为 10-1) 是另一匹我们需要警惕的马。去年的冠军 TWO TRIBES (从 9-1 变为 17-2，右图) 在市场中表现突出，而 2024 年的冠军 GET IT (从 25-1 变为 18-1) 则在更高赔率下获得了支持。 VALEDICTORY (从 4-1 变为 9-4) 是首场让磅赛 (1.50) 中备受支持的热门马。Joseph O’Brien昨天在赛程中赢得了双冠，而他的两匹赛马 AERONAUTIC (从 13-2 变为 11-2) 和 SMALL FRY (从 15-2 变为 9-2) 的市场赔率均有所下降。
在第三组辉煌锦标赛 (2.25) 的投注中，OPPORTUNITY (从 3-1 变为 9-4) 从 AL AASY (从 9-4 变为 5-2) 手中夺得了热门地位，而市场上的一个大惊喜是JP McManus拥有的 IN MY TEENS (从 17-2 变为 5-1)。 AMELIA EARHART 在之前的橡树两赛（Oaks和Irish Oaks）中两次令人失望，但 Aidan
好至坚实 天气
O’Brien的这匹小马在第二组莉莉·朗特里锦标赛 (3.00) 中获得了支持，赔率从 9-1 下降至 15-2。 在七浪距让磅赛 (4.10) 中，Godolphin的 WILD DESERT (从 6-1 变为 11-2) 吸引了一些小额投注。 由于热门马 Al Wathba 的退出，七浪距初赛 (4.45) 的市场发生了剧烈变化，使得 SPEAKERS CORNER (从 9-2 变为 11-4) 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，赌徒们期待由Saffi e Osborne骑乘的 BLUE COURVOISIER (从 6-1 变为 4-1) 能以华丽的姿态完赛。
聚焦 Vale 冲击帽子戏法
作者：The Scout (Melissa Jones)
VALEDICTORY (1.50) 可以在古德伍德最后一日的 Highclere Castle Gin 夏季让磅赛中，向对手挥手告别。 在本周迄今为止的四场赛事中，许多热门马在卡塔尔赞助的节日赛中占据上风，赌客们一直处于有利地位。 身披 Godolphin 蓝色赛马服的 Valedictory 可能会让他们在连续第二天取得开门红，并完成自己的帽子戏法。 这匹由 John 和 Thady Gosden 共同训练的骟马在佩戴颊带时保持不败；五月在相同赛道和距离的比赛中，它取得了胜利，而未来的获胜马 Too Soon（第五名）和 Align The Stars（第六名）当时均在其后。 在分值提高 5 lb 后，Valedictory 在纽马克再次夺冠，当时它被骑乘以一个颈长和头长的优势击败了另外两匹经验更丰富的对手。 骑师 William Buick 似乎并未使出全力，在分值进一步增加 3lb 的情况下，我的选择认为这匹马具备足够的进步空间来应对。
进步的年轻长距离赛马 OPPORTUNITY (2.25) 在爱丁堡公爵锦标赛中，它从 1 号闸位表现出色，现已被提升至第三组 Coral Glorious 锦标赛。 在前往皇家雅士谷赛马会之前，这匹由 William Haggas 调教的骟马在五月的卡莱尔赢得了比赛且游刃有余，当时它以 2.25 马身优势率先冲线。 在伯克郡的比赛中，它在早期被控制在领先者之后，随后以惊人的势头反超，超过了同样充满前景的年轻选手 Warrant Holder；而它与本次比赛两届冠军 Al Aasy 之间 4lb 的差距是在可弥补范围内的。
WAARDAH (3.00) 被看好在连续两届的第二组卡塔尔 Lillie Langtry 锦标赛中发力，此前它进行了一次旨在提高体能的赛跑。 那是五月在卡莱尔举行的第三组 Lester Piggott 雌马锦标赛，在短于其最佳距离的比赛中，它落后于顶级灰色马 Estrange 1.50 个马身。 几周后，David O’Meara 厩舍的明星马在库拉的顶级 Pretty Polly 锦标赛中证实了该成绩。这表明在今日场地战绩为 2-2 的 Waardah 能够适应快速场地。
GHOST MODE (4.10) 去年在此赛场的第二级新马赛中获得第三名（对手为 Isaac Newton），现回到 Phase Eight 让磅赛。 这匹由 Andrew Balding 训练的赛马仍是一匹公马，它在三月南威员的一场六浪距第二级赛事中以 4.10 马身优势获胜，预示着它本赛季可以再次挑战七浪距。 Ghost Mode 遭到了让磅员的重罚，分值上涨 10lb，它在五月雅士谷的联邦杯中进行了试赛，当时它似乎不习惯单独奔跑。 但在两周前纽马克的一场针对三岁马的高强度让磅赛中，它获得第六名，有迹象表明它正恢复状态。 评估员将其分值降低到了一个更现实的水平，曾在另一个轻松赛道切斯特帮助它赢得七浪距新马赛的 Rob Hornby 将担任骑师。
BACKED: Iconic Times was backed down to 2-1
的一场 豪赌
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 的赛场豪赌，让博彩公司在计算损失。
这匹四岁马身披“Max & Mabel”的赛马服。在由 Heather Main 训练的 15 场出赛中赢了两场后，它在为 Jennie Candlish 跑的首四场比赛中未能威胁到裁判。
但在 Dunstall Park 的赌客们在“下载赛日准备就绪应用程序”障碍赛（第一组）中只盯住了一匹马。这匹四岁马重新佩戴了颊带，并首次进入 0-60 级别赛事，其赔率从 7-1 一路下跌至 2-1 的热门。
这场估计从博彩盘口中抽走 £50,000 的豪赌最终获胜，由 Sean Dylan Bowen 骑乘的这匹阉马以一个身位的优势夺冠。
“我以 7-1 的赔率下了 1,000 英镑的注，”在赛场上以 Pinno 之名交易的 Barry Pinnington 说道。“几个同事分别下了 £6,000 和 £1,000 的注，另一个人下了六只猴子（£500）。”
“你知道，当一匹马的赔率从 7-1 变成 6-1，再变成 5-1，而仍然有人想以 3 赔 1 或 5-2 的赔率去投注时，你就会想：‘这看起来绝对稳赢。’”
“这留下了一种糟糕的感觉——不是因为输钱，而是因为这种性质。我对那个来领奖的孩子说——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！’他们就直接把他派到前线去了。我很惊讶盘口里竟然有足够的现金来支付赔付。”

RCHIVIST 进入了赛马史册，成为首位由卡塔尔训练且由卡塔尔拥有的 Coral 金英里赛（Golden Mile）冠军。
这匹赔率 16-1 的赛马由 Hamad Al Jehani 训练，他在搬迁至纽马基特（Newmarket）之前是其家乡的冠军驯马师，并代表卡塔尔埃米尔的 Wathnan Racing 投资公司出赛。
Callum Rodriguez 驾驶赛马从 20 号起跑位置采取外线路线，避开了内侧的拥堵，在最后一段 furlong 内将这匹最高重量级的赛马带到领先位置，最终以一个马身之差击败 Cerulean Bay。
Al Jehani 的这匹四岁赛马在最近一次参加 皇家猎杯（Royal Hunt Cup）于雅士谷（Ascot）举行时，作为 5-1 的热门赛马仅获得 28 匹马中的第 20 名。他表示：“在卡塔尔古德伍德节日（Qatar Goodwood Festival）获得一名冠军对我们来说非常重要。”
“他在上一次雅士谷的直线一英里赛中表现不佳。我们知道有弯道的一英里赛对他有很大帮助，因为这能让他整个比赛过程更加舒适。”
“我原本希望能有更好的起跑位置，但既然结果出来了，我当时就在想，‘我们如何能从那里赢下来？’”在之前的 10 次冠军中，只有 2 个起跑位置高于 5 号位。Rodriguez 表示：“起跑位置公布时我有点担心，但这可能反而对我们有利，因为我们获得了一次顺畅的绕行机会，而且他在每个阶段的感觉都很好。”
Al Jehani 从其纽马基特的邻居 William Haggas 那里接手了 Archivist。而 Haggas 的 Silver Lake 同样身披 Wathnan 赛马服，在最后的英国种马研究中心 EBF 纯血雌马让量赛（British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap）中，证明了其 4-5 热门地位的合理性。
在皇家雅士谷赛马会的圣詹姆斯宫锦标赛（St James’s Palace Stakes）中获得第三名的 Talk Of New York，在第三组 HKJC 世界赛马池纯血马锦标赛（Group Three HKJC World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes）中以 2-5 的超高热门率出赛，但未能追上 Shayem。Shayem 为 Karl Burke 赢得了双冠，另一冠由 Sam James 合作的 Revels 在 Hawes & Curtis 幼马让量赛（Hawes & Curtis Nursery Handicap）中获得。
Joseph O’Brien 和 Dylan Browne McMonagle 同样收获两场胜利：Defiantly 在两英里半的 Coral 古德伍德让量赛（Coral Goodwood Handicap）开幕战中夺冠，随后 Galen 在 Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck 条件赛（Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck Conditions Stakes）中以一个颈幅之差击败了 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场精彩的卡塔尔古德伍德节日赛的最后一天。 HOPEWELL ROCK（1.50，古德伍德）在皇家雅士谷赛跑时表现可嘉，但我认为他当天并没有发挥出最佳状态。 他在整个比赛过程中看起来有点沉闷。 此后他的训练状态极佳，从雅士谷赛后状态很好，自从在那条终点线后，这就是我们的计划。 能为这里派出参赛马匹真是太好了。

Wathnan Racing 对他们来说是一个重大节日，马匹状态极佳。 在我看来，TRYST (3.23, Newmarket) 是我们本周末最好的机会。 在家里训练时，她一直表现得像一匹让磅合理的雌马。 上次 Billy [Loughnane] 骑乘她时，我们终于让她跑对了距离，我希望她能应对重量的增加并更进一步。 ASUKA (3.42, Thirsk) 将迎来他的首次让赛亮相，Jack Callan 在放弃见习骑师资格仅几天后将担纲骑乘。 我们认为 Jack 前途无量，他是我们团队的重要成员。 Asuka 上次获胜令人印象深刻，他的让磅分起步为 89。 七弗隆的距离应该很适合他，在这次看来稍显乏力的赛事中，他应该能接近获胜。

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

shift of power out of Whitehall and Westminster” to UK regions. 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

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
simple medal. This is the fi rst time
this has gone to the Honours
Committee. They have three choices
– they can put it forward for
approval for the King, they can ask
for further information or they can
reject it.
“It is highly unlikely that this will
be rejected given that this has been
debated in Parliament and that it
has had unanimous support.”
A motion on an injury in service
award was discussed in the House
of Commons in November last year.
It
received
huge
cross-party
support but until now there was no
formal word from the government
on any progression on the medal
becoming a reality.

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-
lies in recognition of deceased
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,

was injured in a sickening IRA bomb attack on Christmas shop- pers in Harrods which killed three of her colleagues and three civil- ians on December 17, 1983. She said: “I have waited 43 years for this. Without the support of the Daily Express we would not have got here. “It means a lot for this to get where it has. I am very optimistic
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 need to pull their fi nger out and get on with it.” Liberal Democrat MP Tom Morrison said the meeting with the policing minister was “really positive”. He added: “The new

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.

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.”

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. Knives out for food show M
ARCO Pierre White was the stand-out chef of his generation, but also understands the celebrity world. So, it’s a surprise that he is dismissive of popular food show MasterChef, mocking it for being reality TV. It’s light entertainment, which is why millions love it, not a serious culinary skills show. After all, hours of painstaking onion slicing would leave viewers crying for all the wrong reasons.

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. ■

HANNAH Waddingham’s new boyfriend, spinal surgeon Nick Beresford-Cleary, seems to have undergone a Hollywood-style makeover since he started dating the Ted Lasso star. Has the hugely glamorous Ms Waddingham had a hand in making sure her new beau always looks Red Carpet ready? If she has, she should stop and remind herself why she fell for him in the first place – precisely because he isn’t a vain, self-obsessed Hollywood ego on legs.
THE slimy Wes Streeting 10 times refused to say whether he backs spending 3% of GDP on defence. Now he’s admitted he can’t because he’s got no clue how we’d fund it. So, Burnham’s got no cash to ensure Britain protects itself but plenty for bus fares and benefits?

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.

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

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.

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.

HAMAS has agreed a historic deal to give up its weapons in a potential fi rst step to ending the Gaza War, Donald Trump has claimed. The US president took to social media to declare the terror group had agreed to “complete disarma- ment” in what he described as a “monumental step” towards “peace and security” for the war-torn Palestinian territory.
Mr Trump claimed Israel will withdraw its forces from Gaza as the disarmament is completed. In response, Hamas confi rmed yesterday it had reached an agree- ment on disarmament, the most crucial part of a Gaza ceasefi re deal

“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

drama, the kindness of others and the lead role that should have delighted him but didn’t
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

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.

reigns in Spain and Portugal
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

remains
THE remains of an ancient mammoth
have been exposed on the banks of
the River Danube after water levels
plunged to record lows during
successive heatwaves.
A resident spotted the bones on
the riverbed near the village of
Ryahovo in northern Bulgaria before
alerting experts from the Regional
History Museum in nearby Ruse.
Specialists have identified a
jawbone, fragments of tusks, part
of a shoulder blade and a femur.
The team is returning to recover
the remains for further examination
in the hope of uncovering more about
the animal, including when and
how it died, and what species of
mammoth it is.
Museum director Nikolay Nenov
said: “I would not call it a

over its eggs, while the other has its wings spread as if flying or perform- ing a courtship display. Researchers believe they could represent ptarmigans – game birds related to grouse and chickens whose bones have previously been discovered in the cave. The second could also depict a bird of prey. 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.

important for science.”
He believes the area where the
bones were discovered was once a
swamp, where the animal may have
died thousands of years ago before
its remains were preserved beneath
the sediment.
Mammoths roamed the Earth
from around five million years ago,
with most dying out about 10,000
years ago, although isolated
populations survived until roughly
4,000 years ago.
The Danube, which flows through

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

You can plant nerine bulbs this month for autumn colour. Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil, ideally near a wall.

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.

dent in BA owner’s profits
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.”
BA parent hit by headwinds
ITV will launch a £100m share buyback if Sky’s £1.6bn deal to buy its media and entertainment business goes through. Reporting yesterday, ITV also con- fi rmed a boost to advertising revenues from the World Cup, helping to offset a £20m hit from recently introduced rules about advertising less healthy foods.

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 until 2030
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 Team England wheelchair racer, 22, had initially celebrated second place in Wednesday’s chaotic T54 1500m event that involved four crashes at Scotstoun.

The Games’ Jury of Appeal upheld the disqualification of Sharma and, crucially, decided the race would be run again yesterday morning. This time Kottas could only finish fourth.

It’s a slight disappointment but there’s still a lot of excitement. “If I had that original medal with basically half the competitors wiped out, it wouldn’t have been on my own merit.”

I crossed the line and did it for Wales, for my family and for everyone who has helped me get here.” The 23-year-old looked unstoppable right from the start, qualifying fastest in a Games record 10.322s. Finucane swatted aside Welsh team-mate Edmunds – who won bronze – in the semi-finals before easing past fellow Olympic champion Capewell in the final to seal gold.

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.”
FRANCO BARESI: MAY 8, 1960 – JULY 31, 2026 MAY 8, 1960 – JULY 31, 2026
‘WE WILL MISS YOU, CAPTAIN’ AC MILAN released an emotional farewell to club legend Franco Baresi following his death at the age of 66. 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

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.

by support since sacking
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.

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.

HAYDEN MULLINS has been appointed the new manager of League Two club Newport. The former midfielder made nearly 700 appearances in a career spent mostly at Crystal Palace, West Ham and Portsmouth. Mullins has coached at Reading and Colchester and had two spells as interim Watford boss during his time at Vicarage Road. The 47-year-old succeeds Christian Fuchs, who resigned after securing the Welsh club’s EFL status on the final day of last season.

BY RYAN TAYLOR BOURNEMOUTH are finalising a deal to sign Benfica central defender Antonio Silva. The Cherries have had an agreement worth an initial £21.4m plus £4.3m in add-ons in place with the Portuguese giants for over a week. But after Benfica trailed FC St.Gallen 2-1 in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier, they asked Bournemouth for permission to utilise Silva (left) in the second leg.

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.”

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

‘Glorious’ meeting – the

– 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
Good to fi rm WEATHER
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.”

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: 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.

GUIDE: The unexposed five-year-old SOLDIER’S TREE has run three solid races since joining James Owen’s yard. 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. Last year’s winner (gd-sft) Two Tribes, Completely Random and Annaf also warrant respect. 4.10 PHASE EIGHT HANDICAP 3YO £38,655 (2) 7f (13) ITV1 1 1232-6 WILD DESERT (23) (D) 9 9...........................W Buick 104 (7) Runs: 5 Wins: 1(F) Places: 2 £25,195

We’re Goosers and Ghost Mode return to 7f with a shout, but a chance is taken on STARTLED. He was progressing nicely before running into plenty of trouble at Chester (1m, gd-sft) and is only 2lb higher than when second over C&D (gd) in May. 4.45 EBF MAIDEN STAKES (COLTS & GELDINGS) 2YO £38,655 (2) 7f (14) 1 2 AL WATHBA (21) (F) 9 2 .............................Doubtful

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.

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.

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.
