怀特霍尔编辑 乔纳森·沃克报道

保守党要求安迪·伯纳姆取消一项“愚蠢的”燃油车禁令。

此前,政府正准备就是否淡化这项备受争议的政策展开咨询。

交通部将考虑修改原定的禁令,该禁令原计划在2030年前禁止销售新的汽油和柴油车。

随后,2035年起将禁止销售新的混合动力车辆。

汽车制造商表示,这项政策威胁到一个雇佣15.6万(156,000)人的行业的就业岗位,因为消费者仍不愿转向电动汽车。

部长们不太可能完全取消禁令,但可能会重新考虑相关规定——即所谓的“零排放车辆强制令”,该强制令已要求汽车制造商确保至少45%的新车和厢式货车为电动车。未能达标的企业将面临罚款。

折扣

影子交通大臣理查德·霍尔登表示:“安迪·伯纳姆本可以通过采纳保守党为司机制定的详细计划,与埃德·米利班德灾难性的净零执念决裂,包括废除零排放车辆强制令,拯救英国汽车产业及其供应链免于灭绝。

“然而,工党仍在推行一项被汽车制造商公开和私下称为‘生死攸关’的政策。”

影子商务大臣安德鲁·格里菲思补充道:“尽管英国汽车制造业处于70年来的最低点,部长们仍坚持在2030年实施愚蠢的内燃机禁令,同时迫使英国汽车制造商支付数十亿英镑补贴中国电动车竞争对手。”

英国汽车制造商和贸易商协会(SMMT)已警告议员,汽车制造商被迫向消费者提供巨额折扣以促进电动车销售。

该行业组织首席执行官迈克·霍斯表示:“结果是数十亿英镑被用于折扣、融资激励和营销支持,以刺激超出自然水平的需求。这不是可持续的商业模式。亟需对强制令进行改革,同时所有利益相关方应重新承诺建立消费者信心。”

SMMT还呼吁建设更多公共充电桩。

工党表示,生产零排放车辆的企业将获得6500万英镑(£65)资金,同时匹配行业资金,帮助他们扩大电动车生产规模。

一位政府发言人表示:“我们致力于在2030年逐步淘汰新的汽油和柴油车。零排放车辆强制令获得了75亿英镑(75亿英镑)的支持,以扩大市场、促进电动车制造、增加销量并建设英国充电网络。

“与去年7月相比,电动车销量激增了45%,我们已通过电动车补贴帮助超过15万(150,000)名司机购车。

“我们一直表示将审查强制令,以支持英国工业和投资。进一步细节将适时公布。”

当英国酷暑难耐,索菲却在享受清凉...

艾米丽·弗格森 皇家版编辑

在英国经历今夏第五波热浪之际,"雪公主"索菲在室内滑雪场融化了众人的心。

爱丁堡公爵夫人在访问赫特福德郡赫默尔亨普斯特德的雪中心时,身穿一件亮蓝色羽绒服、白色运动裤和厚实的滑雪手套,全副武装。

此行是为了纪念她被任命为武装部队残疾人滑雪队的皇家赞助人。

但索菲并未只是与运动员们一起放松,她还戴上护目镜展示自己的滑雪技巧,飞速滑下雪道。

这位61岁的公爵夫人随后在观众中留下深刻印象,她用激光步枪进行的射击练习表现出色。

昨天,该镇室外气温高达25摄氏度,而中心内的真雪温度则骤降至-6摄氏度。

这里为滑雪队运动员提供了完美的滑雪和单板滑雪训练条件。

AFPST(武装部队残疾人滑雪队)通过适应性滑雪、单板滑雪和北欧滑雪项目,为受伤、受伤或患病的现役军人和退伍军人提供支持。该组织今年的旗舰项目之一——"维达计划",将派遣一支由4名截肢退伍军人组成的团队进行北极探险。这些冒险者计划在无外援的情况下穿越挪威的维达高原。陪同公爵夫人一同滑雪的还有单板滑雪运动员达伦·斯威夫特。这位前绿夹克兵在1991年的贝尔法斯特炸弹爆炸中失去了双腿。他参加AFPST的新人日后开始接触这项运动。

伊丽莎白·温菲尔德(AFPST首席运营官)欢迎索菲的到来,并向她介绍了该慈善机构的项目。

她在访问后表示:"公爵夫人的赞助标志着AFPST旅程中的一个决定性时刻。它增强了我们的发展能力,能够接触到更多退伍军人,并提供那些位于我们慈善核心的改变人生的项目。

"让殿下亲自会见我们的运动员,能够强有力地展示他们的韧性和成就,并强调像维达这样的项目为何如此重要。"

在当前热浪肆虐之际,索菲和英国其他民众可能都渴望一场雪中之旅来缓解高温。

英国气象局表示,部分地区的气温预计将在周四达到约36摄氏度的峰值。

保守党警告新一轮


"更高"。她的表态正值首相今日开始英国巡回访问,倾听选民对生活成本的担忧之际。

批评人士担心,若伯纳姆的支出承诺缺乏明确资金来源,唯一的支付方式将是加税。

巴德诺赫在谈及工党时表示:"他们应该讨论的是如何削减政府开支、削减福利,并确保我们的武装部队得到所需的支持。而他们谈论的却是更多的税收。"

她在《每日快报》撰文称:"工党上台时承诺降低税收。然而,从‘就业税’的国民保险上调,到对家庭农场和家族企业的征税,他们榨干了企业,迫使物价和雇佣成本上涨。结果,就业和增长都消失了。

"最糟糕的是,工党政府将新增税收收入的大部分用于支付不断攀升的福利账单。

"伯纳姆和他的新任财政大臣约翰·希利在预算案上面临严峻考验。"

她继续说道:"安迪·伯纳姆必须在今年秋季排除任何新增税收。否则,将带来更多困境和更少的就业机会。"

每年福利支出——约占政府总支出的四分之一。

目前有660 万人领取失业救济金,较2019年增加了270 万人。

巴德诺赫女士及活动人士称,自2024年工党执政以来,成本上涨已重创企业。

时任财政大臣雷切尔·里夫斯将雇主国民保险缴费比例从13.8%提高至15%,同时将21岁以上人群的最低工资上调50便士至£12.71。

政府表示将从4月起将英格兰地区酒吧、俱乐部和现场音乐场所的营业税下调20%,但许多企业仍在高昂能源账单的压力下挣扎。

唐宁街10号表示,首相的计划旨在“为民众在10月28日预算案前提供喘息空间”。

订阅取消将变得更加简便,企业必须明确告知合同何时自动续约并涨价。这是伯纳姆为缓解民生成本压力采取的最新举措—。

“他们本应讨论如何削减开支……却在讨论加税”

如果安迪·伯纳姆想要缓解生活成本压力,他就绝不能加税。

他带着一堆豪言壮语和几项小规模公告来到威斯敏斯特。

公交车票和账单上少许的优惠听起来不错,但当前许多人生活艰难的真正原因是税负过高,每周的购物开销过大。

税收负担已达到历史最高水平。保守党政府对此负有部分责任,但他们当时需要支付新冠疫情期间的休假计划。

工党上台时承诺降低税收。然而,从“就业税”国民保险上调,到家庭农场和家族企业税收,他们榨干了企业,推高了物价和雇佣成本。结果,就业和增长消失了。

最糟糕的是,政府将新增税收的大部分用于支付不断攀升的福利开支。

伯纳姆和他的财政大臣约翰·希利在今年秋季预算案上面临严峻考验。

生活成本不断恶化,失业率持续上升,他们需要筹措资金以应对这个日益危险的世界中的英国国防。

他们本应讨论如何削减政府开支、削减福利,并确保武装部队获得所需支持。然而,他们讨论的却是更多的税收。

这一切让人感到似曾相识。还记得去年夏天吗?当时的财政大臣雷切尔·里夫斯拒绝排除任何加税可能。

猜测不断,恐慌随之加剧。我们当时看到过,现在又再次看到。信心消失先于投资消失。

一家工程公司因想了解企业税会发生什么变化而推迟订购新机器。一家餐厅老板因担心雇佣成本再次上涨而推迟雇佣新员工。

一位将英国与其他国家进行比较的海外投资者悄然决定,另一个国家提供了更大的确定性。

这些决定从未出现在财政部的预测中。没有记录未创造的就业机会,也没有记录流向他处的投资。然而,这些决定共同决定了经济是增长还是停滞。

这就是伯纳姆现在对英国所做的,必须立即制止。还有另一种选择——保守党的计划。我们将首先削减福利开支,确保为无法工作的人提供安全网,同时确保有能力工作的人确实工作。

我们将用一半的节省资金来偿还国家赤字,另一半用于减轻税负——例如降低商业街的营业税,并取消所有家庭住宅的印花税。

我们将在能源问题上回归常识——在北海开采我们自己的石油和天然气,并取消推高家庭账单成本的绿色税收和征费。

我们还将真正支持企业,废除工党所有破坏就业的工会法,并削减阻碍增长的监管。

这就是振兴经济和缓解生活成本的方法。通过常识性措施,让人们有更多可支配收入,让企业有信心投资和增长。

安迪·伯纳姆必须在今年秋季排除任何新增税收。否则,等待我们的将是更多的困境和更少的就业机会。

伯纳姆治下的加税

img-13.jpeg

在梅克菲尔德的家门口,声音响亮而清晰:在秋季预算案中解冻个人免税额。“已有1000万老年人正在为其国家养老金缴纳部分税款,如果伯纳姆未能兑现其所激发的期望,他们都将感到被辜负。如果他想要振兴商业街,除了让人们口袋里有更多可支配收入外,他还应禁止仅限应用程序的停车服务,并促使银行重新开放。”随着伊朗战争余波持续推高通胀超出预期,生活成本问题依然是民众的一大担忧—。

首相的商业街规定“将导致更多店铺关闭”

批评者警告称,安迪·伯纳姆的商业街繁文缛节计划将导致“更多空置和被封板的店铺”。

首相宣称:“我们将赋予当地民众真正的话语权。”

根据伯纳姆的计划,如果存在重大担忧,地方议会将有权拒绝新的博彩店开业。

为防止英国陷入困境的商业街上电子烟店铺进一步激增,电子烟店首次需要规划许可。

但批评者警告称,这位工党领袖只是在增加更多繁文缛节。

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor

影子社区大臣詹姆斯·克莱弗利爵士表示:“每个人都能看到我们的商业街发生了什么,曾经备受珍视的店铺正被一批不良经营者取代,其中许多与有组织犯罪和欺诈有关联。工党的商业税上调已掏空了我们的商业街,将人们想要的店铺赶走,留下空置店面任由剩下的任何人填补。”

“除非政府采取措施支持商业街和辛勤经营的企业,否则工党在规划监管方面的增加只会意味着更多空置和被封板的店铺。”

詹姆斯·克莱弗利表示更多监管正在造成损害

伯纳姆昨晚还透露,警方和贸易标准团队将获得更多时间调查涉嫌与有组织犯罪团伙有关联的企业。

关闭令的最长期限将从6个月延长至12个月。首相计划废除所谓的“许可目标”规则,该规则限制了地方当局阻止博彩店和24小时老虎机场所在其辖区开业的能力。

根据提案,销售电子烟的店铺也将需要规划许可,以赋予社区更大的话语权。

官员表示,电子烟店的正式定义将被收紧,以防止企业通过声称自己是“便利店或零售商”来规避新规。

根据预计将于明年初生效的改革,提供长达24小时老虎机和水果机服务的成人游戏中心也将需要规划许可。

根据基尔·斯塔默政府率先宣布的提案,警方还将能够关闭“可疑”的理发店、电子烟店和美甲店长达一年。

官员表示,政府还将为店面设计设定更明确的期望,以改善外观并预先避免对“俗艳的霓虹灯招牌”和“过大的标识”的投诉。

一项益普索上月民调发现,30%的受访者将经济列为主要担忧,22%特别提到通胀或物价。

伯纳姆并未排除通过加税来支付解决社会护理问题的费用。他承认可能有必要加税,但坚称工党的竞选承诺——不增加工人所得税、国民保险或增值税税率——将保持不变。

这位工党领袖拒绝排除“死亡税”——可能是对所有遗产征收10%的税,以资助其提出的国家护理服务,这可能迫使数百万人为亲人的遗产支付费用。根据现行税法,已婚夫妇可将价值100万英镑(£1)的资产免税传给子女。

社会护理预计到本年代末将耗资390亿英镑。首相近日在一家护理院表示,“我们想要全面实现的一些目标将需要艰难、艰难的决定”,并补充道“我们将在这些问题上对民众坦诚相告”。

工党昨晚表示:“在安迪·伯纳姆的领导下,工党政府将最终直面威斯敏斯特数十年来忽视的社会护理危机,为民众提供尊严、安全和支持,同时减轻NHS的压力。我们不会通过一如既往的政治手段来解决这一问题,而是通过专注于解决问题而非得分来实现。”

海峡增长

创纪录的230名移民

……我们还能称其为

img

这艘“巨型橡皮艇”是有记录以来穿越英吉利海峡的最大移民船,创下了单艘船只搭载寻求庇护者人数的新纪录。

蛇头将惊人的230人塞进这艘“巨型橡皮艇”,这一惊人数字引发了人们的担忧,即“很快每天都会有数千人涌入”。

这艘简陋的船只在夜间离开法国,于昨日凌晨抵达多佛。

此事促使改革英国党(Reform UK)领袖奈杰尔·法拉奇警告称,英吉利海峡正面临“国家安全危机”,因为橡皮艇的体积不断增大。

他补充说,英吉利海峡的混乱局面可能很快会与地中海的偷渡情况相似,那里的犯罪团伙使用大型船只进行偷渡。

此前一周还发生了一起紧急事件,当时有173人在橡皮艇起火后不得不被从海中救起。

拥挤不堪

在昨天这艘超大船只的照片中,移民们双脚悬在水中,挤在一艘49英尺长的船上。

这艘船搭载的人数与波音737喷气式飞机的最大载客量相当。

蛇头现已将其致命的偷渡活动扩展至迪耶普,以躲避80英里外加来和敦刻尔克的警方巡逻。

他们还使用比以往更大的橡皮艇,以赚取创纪录的利润。

法拉奇先生补充道:“一艘能载230人的船已经不能再叫橡皮艇了,对吧?今天凌晨2点30分,一艘载有230人的船只被带进多佛港。这是一个纪录。而我们正在迅速

寻求庇护者强奸犯袭击13岁女孩

img-16.jpeg

阿卜杜勒·汗的受害者以为他只有14岁

一名寻求庇护者在诱骗一名13岁女孩与其见面后将其强奸,被判处九年半监禁。

阿卜杜勒·汗(Abdul Khan)非法乘坐卡车进入英国,伪装成一名热爱健身的中学生。

警方担心他可能还在网上骚扰其他女孩。

现年28岁的汗使用化名“Abs”,并上传不露脸的照片来诱骗受害者。

这名13岁的女孩以为自己在与一名14岁的男孩聊天。

汗于2015年从阿富汗抵达英国,去年5月在诺丁汉郡克利夫顿的一处电车站与女孩见面,将其带到一处自然保护区并实施了袭击。

女孩至今仍有闪回症状,不再信任他人,也不愿再穿校服。她回家后给朋友发消息说:“我被强奸了”,随后告诉了父亲。

女孩向警方表示:“我们聊了大约一周。他一直很露骨,还操纵我给他发裸照。”检察官凯文·琼斯(Kevin Jones)在诺丁汉皇家法庭上表示,汗因向儿童发送色情图片被捕后,通过DNA测试与强奸案件关联。

他的手机显示了与强奸受害者的聊天记录。他被判犯有强奸罪、与儿童进行性交流罪、诱骗后会面罪以及妨碍司法公正罪。

法官马克·沃森(Mark Watson)昨日对他说道:“你的判决意味着将被自动驱逐出境。”

他还被终身列入性犯罪者名册。

前往地中海的路线——每天都会有成千上万人涌入。你无法打击这些团伙。

“这不可能。我们可以抓住一个团伙头目,判他20年监禁,罚他们数百万欧元,但这都无济于事。

“回报如此丰厚,总会有人冒出来。我们甚至发现迪耶普(位于诺曼底)也有小船定期出发。

“我们现在面对的是一段长达130英里的海岸线,这些船只可以从这里出发。

“只有一个办法能阻止这一切——如果他们到达12海里线,英国皇家海军使用边境部队的船只……将他们遣返法国。如果我们这样做,几周内就不会再有船只出现。”

影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普(Chris Philp)表示:“这已经超出了玩笑的范围。

“法国当局本可以轻易阻止这种规模的船只在浅水区出发。我最近亲眼看到法国宪兵可耻地袖手旁观,任由非法移民在齐膝深的水中登船。

“[内政大臣]沙巴娜·马哈茂德(Shabana Mahmood)却还在向法国支付6.6亿英镑。这是耻辱。脱离现实的安迪·伯纳姆(Andy Burnham)声称这不是问题。显然有问题。如果他真的重视此事,就会采纳保守党的计划,退出《欧洲人权公约》(ECHR),并在非法移民抵达7天内将其全部驱逐。这样偷渡行为很快就会停止。”

据救援人员称,这艘“超级橡皮艇”在法国加来以南50英里的贝尔克-叙尔-梅尔(Berck-sur-Mer)被发现时,已搭载了约50人,并正前往海滩接载更多乘客。

相当于英国皇家全国救生艇协会(RNLI)的法国SNMS救援队表示,在争相登船的过程中,约有30人落水。

“掠夺性”难民因猥亵两名女子被判入狱

一名叙利亚难民在夜间外出时性侵两名女子,被判处四年有期徒刑。

现年23岁的穆罕默德·谢希(Muhammad Sheikhi)在凌晨时分趁两名20多岁的受害者独自步行回家时对她们实施了猥亵。

两起袭击均发生在苏格兰福尔柯克他当时入住的酒店附近。

斯特灵治安法院法官基思·奥马奥尼(Sheriff Keith O'Mahony)昨日在宣判时告诉谢希:“这些是针对陌生人的蓄意掠夺性性侵犯,她们完全有权利安全地步行回家。”

这名乘船来到英国的被告坚称自己无罪,并告诉警方他只是在“四处闲逛”。

在庭审中被定罪的谢希被无限期列入性犯罪者名册。

23岁的穆罕默德·谢希被判入狱

潮汐导致救援行动,一份翻译声明称。拥挤的橡皮艇被描述为“在涌浪中不堪重负”,最终驶向英国。

该船载有232名移民,其中两人请求救助并被带往加来。

鲁莽

救援人员的努力“帮助避免了一场悲剧”,声明补充道。

船上寻求庇护者的人数打破了7月创下的单船165人的纪录。

英国内政部发言人表示:“这起最新事件表明,犯罪团伙在组织这些偷渡活动时采用了鲁莽且危险的手段,他们不断将越来越多的人塞进不适航的船只,置生命于危险之中。

“我们正在取得进展,今年小船偷渡人数有所下降,7月的记录人数是自2020年以来最低的。

“但我们必须进一步采取行动,这也是我们与法国签署按成效付费协议的原因,以在法国海滩上增加40%的地面人员。”

上周二,《每日快报》成为首家目击英国船只“BSC Contender”号将移民遣返法国的英国新闻机构,此前他们的燃烧橡皮艇在英吉利海峡被发现。

173人在引擎因燃油泄漏起火后获救——这一事件引发了乘客的大规模恐慌。船上的人纷纷跳入水中,导致船只倾覆。一名海事安全消息人士事后表示:“坦白说,没有人死亡简直是个奇迹。”

有关官员称,这艘船上人满为患,以至于11人在船只出发两小时后请求下船。

一名法国官员补充道:“其余人告诉救援人员他们希望继续前行,并获准如此。然而,当天晚些时候,引擎起火。”

尽管发生了这一戏剧性事件——导致11人受伤——移民仍在尝试穿越英吉利海峡。

根据内政部的数据,周六有258人乘坐四艘船抵达英国。周日又有423人乘坐五艘船抵达。

不过,2026年迄今的总抵达人数较去年有所下降。今年迄今的临时总人数为15,242人,较去年同期下降42%,较2024年下降14%。

少年因反移民骚乱被捕

一名少年因涉嫌在塞特福德的反移民骚乱中袭击紧急救援人员而被捕。

上周,当民众试图冲击与寻求庇护者相关的住所时,紧张局势升级,警方在三个夜晚的骚乱中遭到袭击。

诺福克警方表示,警员“遭受了严重的攻击性行为”,包括被石块击中、被咬伤和被吐口水。

警方昨日表示,又有人被捕。该少年于周日因涉嫌袭击紧急救援人员被拘留,并被带至伯里圣埃德蒙兹接受讯问。

他已于4.日被保释。警方还表示,一名20多岁的男子因涉嫌袭击紧急救援人员、持有B类毒品和A类毒品而被捕,目前仍被关押在温德姆。

倒闭水务公司高管获100 万英镑百万奖金引愤怒

作者:斯蒂芬·斯派罗

费格尔·沙基抨击泰晤士水务公司向其财务总监支付100 万英镑million签约费,尽管该公司已濒临破产边缘。

这家英国最大的水务公司于上月底向史蒂夫·巴克支付了这笔延迟的七位数款项,巴克于2025,年4月加入公司。

曾出演《Undertones》的清洁水倡导者沙基表示:“水务行业的堕落达到了前所未有的低谷。他们对客户和环境的蔑视显然毫无底线。政府何时才会出手干预并制止这一行为?”

据悉,支付给巴克的款项来自泰晤士水务公司从贷款银团获得的紧急借款额度。

该公司正试图说服政府支持其负债累累的企业的有偿救助计划。

公有制倡导组织“We Own It”的主任凯特·霍布斯表示:“泰晤士水务的闹剧已经超出了玩笑的范围——他们完全是在戏弄公众。安迪·伯纳姆必须立即介入,收回这家公司。它已经破产,一文不值,股东已经离场,债务可以在公共所有制下大幅削减并以更低成本再融资。”

泰晤士水务公司尚未回应置评请求。

全国71.3%地区遭遇闪电干旱

官员表示,由于8月初以来持续干旱,英格兰近四分之三的地区已进入干旱状态。

东米德兰兹、林肯郡、北安普敦郡、肯特、东萨塞克斯、索伦特和南唐斯地区昨日进入干旱状态。

英国国家干旱小组主席托尼·格雷林表示:“干旱状况正在恶化,并将持续加剧,直到出现大量且持续的降雨。炎热干燥的天气正在对农业造成严重影响,并将对环境产生长期影响。”

目前,全国71.3%的地区正经历闪电干旱——这种干旱因降雨极少和高温组合而迅速发展。

这使得4500 万人生活在干旱地区。目前有超过2700 万人面临用水限制。与此同时,由于气温预计将在明日飙升至30摄氏度中段,英国大部分地区已发布琥珀色高温健康警报。

英国气象局表示,本周四部分地区的气温将达到36摄氏度,成为今夏第五波热浪的一部分。

英国卫生安全局的波莉·阿什莫尔敦促民众采取简单措施确保安全,如多喝水、保持室内凉爽,并避免在一天中最热的时段外出。

她表示:“对于脆弱群体,包括老年人和有既往健康问题的人,高温天气可能导致严重的健康后果。”

琥珀色高温健康警报将从今日上午9时至周五晚9时在英格兰东米德兰兹、东英格兰、约克郡和亨伯、伦敦、西北部、东南部、西南部和西米德兰兹地区生效,东北部则发布黄色高温健康警报。

英格兰南部刚刚经历了有记录以来最热的7月,威尔士则与历史最高纪录持平,而英国和英格兰整体则迎来了第二热的7月。英国气象局的贾森·凯利表示:“本周气温将逐渐升高,英格兰和威尔士大部分地区将迎来广泛的热浪,气温将达到35℃中段。南风或东南风还将带来欧洲大陆的高温,这意味着本周许多人将面临显著高温,预计周四达到峰值。”

在诺福克郡大马辛厄姆,一处古老池塘干涸后,数十几条鲤鱼死亡。

昨天,超过120名消防员在新森林国家公园扑救一场国际保护荒地上的大火。野火还在彼得伯勒附近的霍姆沼泽自然保护区和格温特郡的兰格尼德水库肆虐。

首相发言人表示:“我们的气候正在变化。干旱变得更加频繁,因此我们正专注于即时应对和长期韧性建设。”

哈珀警员同事:工党对警员“啐脸”

作者:理查德·阿什莫尔

一名目睹哈珀警员被拖拽致死的警察指责工党通过提前释放凶手“啐警员的脸”。

克里斯·布什内尔曾在2019年8月哈珀警员在伯克郡萨勒姆斯特德追捕一起四轮摩托车盗窃案时,与他共饮一杯茶。

新婚不久的哈珀警员(28岁)被逃逸车辆上的一根绳索缠住,拖行在乡村道路上,三名少年嫌疑人驾车逃逸。

时任警犬部门警员的布什内尔当时正在路边等待嫌疑人车辆,目睹了安德鲁的遗体被拖行的场景。

司机亨利·朗被判处16年监禁,杰西·科尔和阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯(均为18岁)则在2020年被判犯有过失杀人罪,分别被判处13年监禁,送入少年犯管教所。

根据工党缓解监狱过度拥挤的计划,科尔和鲍尔斯可能在数月内获得提前释放。一份要求阻止二人获释的请愿书已获得近900,000个签名。

布什内尔表示:“想到他们可能被提前释放,我感到极度愤怒。我对他们感到愤怒,但我也对政府感到愤怒。

“他们这是在啐警员的脸。政府必须明白,这是一名警员的死亡。他们必须服满刑期。安德鲁那晚履行了职责。政府至少应当对他表示尊重。”

难以辩解

布什内尔先生在描述凶手时补充道:“他们毫无悔意。这对他们来说几乎是个笑话。”

在哈珀警员牺牲当天,于2022年退休的布什内尔先生一直追赶嫌疑车辆,直到一名督察通过无线电指示他停止。

几分钟后,他听到了同事遇害的噩耗。

“他是个非常友好的人,总是停下来聊天,总是问起我的狗。他是个动物爱好者,就是个友善的好小伙,”布什内尔先生说。

“我以前见过人死亡。见过自杀。但这次超出了残忍。太可怕了。”

他接受了警察联合会提供的心理咨询和支持,并每年都会重访事发现场。然而,随着第七个纪念日临近,这份伤痛依然如初。

泰晤士河谷警察联合会主席艾琳·奥康纳表示:“公众的声音响亮而明确。他们和我们一样认为政府在这件事上完全站错了立场。政府的沉默震耳欲聋。他们所做的

对英雄杀手提前获释的愤怒

要求将二人继续监禁的请愿签名接近900,000

一份请愿书要求工党政府不得批准PC哈珀的两名杀手提前获释,截至昨晚已有近900,000人签名。

但唐宁街助手表示,无法将杰西·科尔和阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯排除在政府旨在解决监狱过度拥挤的计划之外。

尽管有报道称首相安迪·伯纳姆一直在寻找方法将他们继续关押。

这份请愿书由PC哈珀所在的泰晤士河谷警察联合会负责人艾琳·奥康纳发起。

她表示:“我们将竭尽全力确保那些在执行公务时杀害安德鲁·哈珀的凶手继续被关押。”

伯纳姆曾考虑修改该计划,将提前释放5,000名罪犯的范围排除杀害紧急服务人员的犯人。

但唐宁街表示,无法“将一两名罪犯”排除在外。伯纳姆的发言人称他“对现状远未接受”,并补充道:“他一直在努力寻找更多可行的方案,现在的重点是长期修复监狱系统,避免再次出现这种监狱危机,确保类似情况不再发生。”

PC哈珀于2019年8月在伯克郡萨勒姆斯特德回应一起四轮摩托车盗窃案时遇害,年仅28岁。

他在追捕三名青少年嫌疑犯时被一根连接汽车的绳索缠住,拖行致死。

鲍尔斯和科尔因过失杀人罪被判13年有期徒刑。根据工党的计划,他们将在服满一半刑期后有资格获释,而非之前的三分之二。

驾车司机亨利·朗被判16年有期徒刑,因此不符合提前获释条件。部长们表示,由于监狱过度拥挤,有必要实施该计划,部分罪犯将在服满40%刑期后获释,而非之前的50%。

难以辩解。他们根本无法为之辩护。如果你杀害了一名警察,就不应有提前获释的可能。

没有如果。没有但是。”约有5,000名囚犯将被提前释放,此前经过紧急审查,部分豁免人数从6,000人减少——但不包括PC哈珀的杀手。

唐宁街表示,尽管面临压力,但“无法”将“一两名”过失杀人罪犯排除在提前获释之外。他们坚称安迪·伯纳姆“对现状远未接受”,但淡化了将科尔和鲍尔斯继续关押的例外安排可能性。

亨利·朗的刑期意味着他不符合提前获释条件。

改革英国党拟将外籍囚犯遣送至萨尔瓦多

作者:凯蒂·哈里斯

奈杰尔·法拉奇计划在掌权后将外籍囚犯遣送至国外监狱服刑。

改革英国党领袖表示,该党主席李·安德森及司法顾问瓦妮莎·弗雷克(前监狱长)将前往萨尔瓦多,就该提案进行商讨。

法拉奇补充道:“在萨尔瓦多关押一名外籍囚犯的成本仅为英国的一半,同时还能为我们腾出更多监狱空间。”

此前,首相安迪·伯纳姆因监狱提前释放计划面临强烈反对,数千名囚犯因监狱空间不足被释放。

影子内阁办公厅大臣亚历克斯·伯格哈特表示,“政府显然应考虑在国外购买监狱空间”,以缓解系统压力。

但工党回应称:“这不是一个严肃的监狱计划。奈杰尔·法拉奇非常清楚,租用海外监狱空间需要数年时间才能安排妥当,且无法解决我们当前面临的压力。”


哥伦比亚遭遇重创

作者:阿利斯特·哈格

哥伦比亚西部昨日发生7.4级地震,造成至少111人死亡,数百人受伤。

官方称,震中位于乔科地区圣何塞德尔帕尔马尔镇,该镇约有4,800名居民,距首都波哥大约250英里。

该国西部多座城市遭受重创,建筑物倒塌,街道被瓦砾覆盖。

政府科学家表示,这是“哥伦比亚十年来记录到的最高震级地震”。

邻国厄瓜多尔也有震感。

英国成为欧洲首个批准减肥药片的国家

该药物可能比同类产品更便宜

img-25.jpeg

英国已成为欧洲首个批准用于减重和糖尿病治疗的药片的国家。

专家表示,该药物可能比其他同类产品更便宜,并能帮助体重较低的人群。

奥福利普隆(商品名Foundayo,由礼来公司生产)已获英国药品和保健品监管局(MHRA)批准。

该药适用于体重指数(BMI)30及以上的人群,或BMI在27至30之间且至少患有一种与体重相关疾病的人群。

该药还可用于改善血糖控制不佳的2型糖尿病患者。每日服用一次,无需限制饮食或饮水。

剂量从0.8毫克开始,逐步增加至2.5毫克、5.5毫克、9毫克、14.5毫克和17.2毫克。

患者在每个剂量水平至少停留1个月。

风暴式批准

英国药品和保健品管理局(MHRA)于6月批准了首款用于减肥的GLP-1口服药物——Wegovy的片剂形式orforglipron。专家对该决定表示欢迎,并称这种药片可能比GLP-1注射剂便宜得多。

安格利亚鲁斯金大学生理学高级讲师西蒙·科克博士将MHRA的决定描述为“肥胖治疗领域的一大步进展”。

他表示:“该药物获批用于体重较低的人群,与其他减肥药物相比门槛更低。

BMI达到30意味着将有更多人能够使用这种药物。

“这种药物的价格可能远低于目前已有的药物。

“口服药物的生产成本远低于注射剂,且该药物的活性成分生产成本也比注射剂或口服Wegovy中的成分更低。”

格拉斯哥大学心脏代谢医学教授、名誉顾问纳维德·萨塔尔表示:“这对肥胖患者来说是个好消息。

“多一种口服治疗选择,为不愿使用注射药物或可能不需要最有效注射剂所能达到的减重效果的患者提供了更多选择。

“与口服司美格鲁肽(必须在空腹状态下服用)不同,这种药物可以在一天中的任何时间服用。”

英格兰丙肝里程碑

卫生官员表示,英格兰即将成为全球首批消除丙型肝炎的国家之一。

急诊血液检测、全科医生注册测试和免费居家检测套件帮助发现了此前未确诊的病例。

英国国民保健服务(NHS)表示,英格兰是少数几个已超过世界卫生组织治疗80%已知病例基准的国家之一。

丙型肝炎通过接触感染病毒的血液传播。8至12周的抗病毒药物治疗可治愈超过95%的病例。

NHS国家医疗主任弗兰基·斯沃兹教授(见插图)表示:“NHS与公共卫生团队和慈善机构密切合作,努力发现并治疗隐匿病例。在短短10年内,已有超过100,000人接受了可能挽救生命的治疗。

“英格兰目前在消除这一疾病的全球使命中处于领先地位,并有望提前实现世卫组织2030年的目标。”

罗德·斯图尔特迎来第6个孙辈

罗德爵士第6个孙辈诞生

皮耶拉·威利克斯报道

罗德·斯图尔特爵士在81岁时迎来了第6个孙辈,他的女儿鲁比再次生育。39,岁的鲁比与未婚夫杰克·卡利克迎来了第二个儿子利瓦伊,并发布了新生儿与3岁哥哥奥蒂斯在医院的合照,配文:“欢迎可爱的利瓦伊!”

《你觉得我性感吗?》的演唱者罗德·斯图尔特爵士与美国模特凯莉·恩伯格育有鲁比,两人在1983年至1990年间交往。

这位曾3次结婚的摇滚歌手共有四子四女,来自五位母亲。他的第一个孩子是与当时女友苏珊娜·博菲育有的莎拉·斯特里特,现年62,岁。

罗德爵士还是德莉拉、路易和埃尔茜的祖父,此外他的女儿金伯利也育有一子。

她尚未公开透露孩子的名字。

电台误报国王死讯

作者:凯西·库珀-菲斯克

一家电台因意外宣布国王去世而受到训诫。

Radio Caroline 被发现违反了 Ofcom 规定,原因是在 5 月播出了一条预先录制的消息,错误地宣布了查尔斯三世国王的死讯。

该消息播出后,随即播放了国歌,并保持了约 16 分钟的沉默,随后一名主持人为这一错误道歉。

Ofcom 的裁决称,一名员工在对演播室电脑进行维护时,出于好奇访问了预先录制的音频文件并进行播放,未意识到这会导致音频被实时播出。

据称,当该员工意识到发生的情况后,立即停止了文件播放,“并惊慌失措地离开了现场”。

Radio Caroline 表示对此事“极为重视”,并已“尽快采取了行动”。


“我当时看不到出路……痛苦压得我喘不过气”

布拉德·皮特透露,曾因个人生活的问题几乎难以承受,一度产生过自杀的念头。

这位 62 岁的影星——他那一代最优秀的演员之一——承认“家庭问题”几乎将他逼到了绝境。

他说:“我从来没有过自杀的念头,这根本不符合我的性格。实际上,如果说我有什么毛病的话,可能就是天生的乐观主义者。

“或者,正如我那位永远搞笑的朋友大卫·芬奇会说的:‘是的,你看杯子是半满的,但里面装的可是半杯尿。’”

“不管怎样,我从来没有过自杀的念头,除了那一小段时间。在那一小段时间里,我只是觉得……我只是看不到出路。

“痛苦压得我喘不过气——我并没有真的要付诸行动,但我能感觉到脑海中子弹冰冷的金属感,那种感觉就像是一种解脱。

“我当时想,‘哦,现在我明白了。我理解自杀的意义,它只是一种解脱。只是在寻求摆脱痛苦的解脱。’”

“但我也认为人类有着惊人的求生本能。对我来说,这种本能立刻就被激发了。”

虽然他没有透露具体指的是人生中的哪一段时期,但大约在去年这个时候,布拉德不得不面对母亲简去世的打击。此外,还有他与安吉丽娜·朱莉在 2016 年那场充满怨恨的离婚。

这对好莱坞巨星首次相遇是在 2005 年电影《史密斯夫妇》的片场,2012 年宣布订婚。

布拉德和安吉丽娜育有六个孩子:马多克斯(24 岁)、帕克斯(22 岁)、扎哈拉(21 岁)、希洛(20 岁),以及 18 岁的双胞胎诺克斯和薇薇安。

但在 2016 年安吉丽娜提出离婚后,两人陷入了监护权争夺战,同时还就包括一家法国酒庄在内的资产展开争夺。

在接受《Esquire》采访时,布拉德还承认自己与酒精的关系时断时续。

他说:“我戒酒了七年。然后又重新开始喝酒……不过这次更克制了。

“有几次我过于自信,结果发现,‘不行,这对我没好处’。”

与此同时,他今年有两部电影即将上映,还有一部正在拍摄中。首先是由《自杀小队》导演大卫·艾尔执导的生存惊悚片《野兽之心》。

此外,他还与芬奇合作了《克里夫·布斯历险记》,这是《好莱坞往事》的独立续集,由昆汀·塔伦蒂诺编剧。

接下来,影迷们将能看到布拉德与朱莉安·尼科尔森合作出演的心理惊悚片《骑手们》。自 2022 年以来,布拉德一直与珠宝高管伊内丝·德拉蒙约会。

首相的省钱计划收效甚微

安迪·伯纳姆值得称赞,因为他认识到数百万家庭仍在英国不断收紧的生活成本压力下苦苦挣扎。

这些影响对家庭预算造成的冲击是真实的、深远的,并且持续已久。

但尽管首相采取了行动,其措施规模却十分有限。

将公交车票价格上限定为£2几乎算不上改变游戏规则,而取消家庭能源账单的增值税也只能为普通家庭节省£45——相当于25枚一等邮票的价格。

简化取消订阅的流程几乎无济于事,而他更是排除了取消印花税的可能性——这本该是最有效的措施。

综合来看,这位“没有授权的救世主”提出的省钱措施几乎等于零,显然无法应对英国更广泛的经济挑战。

这也是许多人对秋季感到担忧的原因。

28,日,财政大臣约翰·希利将公布工党自2024年以来的第三份预算案——这份预算案被宣传为“财政权力下放”,各地区将在税收和支出上拥有更大自主权。

我们都记得前两份预算:他的前任雷切尔·里夫斯让家庭和企业背负了660 亿英镑亿英镑的增税负担,许多人至今仍生活在噩梦中。

未经选举的伯纳姆通过政治政变赶走了基尔·斯塔默。

但如果他忘记了,2024年工党竞选宣言明确排除了提高所得税、增值税或国民保险的可能性。

首相已警告纳税人将面临“艰难抉择”。

而随着经济增长乏力,即将到来的预算案几乎肯定会带来一些令人不快的意外。

热浪期间我们正在浪费水资源

在英国,我们常开玩笑说天气总能给我们提供话题。但今年我们所经历的一切绝非儿戏。

尽管享受持续阳光让人愉悦,但降雨不足正带来严重而深远的后果。

上个月是全球有记录以来第二炎热的7月,而经历了有史以来最炎热夏季之一的西欧,更是饱受大规模野火的蹂躏。

英国卫生安全局被迫发布了更多高温预警,而英国大部分地区如今正面临有效干旱——这在几个月前我们还深陷风暴(戈雷蒂、钱德拉和戴夫)时是难以想象的。

英格兰7月的降雨量仅为长期平均值的7%,而英格兰南部仅为1%。我们郁郁葱葱的绿地公园如今看起来像贫瘠的荒漠。

超过2500 万人正面临用水限制。现实是我们把水资源视为理所当然。许多人对这种资源挥霍无度,对每天浪费的大量用水毫不在意。

如果过去几个月的干旱能给我们带来什么教训,那就是我们需要更节约地使用水资源,因为正如古谚所言:井枯方知水可贵。

气候变化不会等到我们有更多准备

首相降低公交票价的举措值得欢迎,但不应以气候为代价

伊丽莎白·罗宾逊教授

特约专栏作家

野火迫使南欧数万人流离失所之际,英国政府与法国和西班牙联合发表声明,警告气候变化正威胁我们的生活方式。但与此同时,政府却通过削弱应对气候变化的关键财政措施,为更便宜的公交票价买单。

面对许多家庭在账单支出上的困境,安迪·伯纳姆将公交票价上限从£3降至£2的决定值得欢迎。但这一举措将通过将英国用于海外气候变化应对的国际捐款转为可偿还贷款来筹资。

这听起来可能像是枯燥的会计操作,但却有着现实影响。为什么我们公众必须在公交和环境之间做出选择?

今年夏天,在有记录以来的最高温度下,我国基础设施不堪重负。六月的热浪估计造成国家数十亿英镑的产出损失和生产力下降,并给医疗服务带来压力。

诚然,政府需要降低生活成本。但气候融资同样符合英国的经济利益。

首先,它帮助贫困国家抵御气候冲击并保持稳定。这使得这些国家能够与我们开展贸易,购买英国商品,并提供我们所依赖的食品和其他产品。

次,如果我们让清洁能源和基础设施更加负担得起,可以帮助低收入和中等收入国家避免陷入富裕国家曾经走过的高排放路径。这将减少未来的全球排放,进而降低气候变化对我们自身经济造成的成本。如果贫困国家不得不承担更多债务,它们将不得不在债务偿还上花费更多,而在医疗和教育等关键服务上的投入减少,这将对其社会造成不稳定,长期来看也会对我们造成影响,因为这会导致一个更不稳定的世界。

事实是,英国单独行动对拯救地球的影响微乎其微。我们的全球排放占比不到1%——我们自身的国家排放量正在下降。

同样,减少对贫困国家的承诺在全球发展支出的背景下可能被视为沧海一粟。但每个国家都可能提出同样的论点,而将应对气候变化的成本留给他人,最终我们都将蒙受损失。

我们面临选择。我们可以将自己视为一个微不足道的小岛。或者,如果我们展现领导力,并说服他人与我们同行,我们就有更大机会在气候变化问题上取得更好的结果。

在国防问题上,我们已经理解这一原则。英国无法独自确保世界安全。我们投资并与盟友合作,因为共同行动以创造一个更安全的世界总是更好的。气候融资遵循同样的原则。

在2024年举行的COP29这一重要联合国峰会上,英国等高收入国家同意在2035年前每年动员至少3000亿美元用于低收入国家的气候行动。各国并无官方分摊账单。但以购买力平价计算,英国约占全球经济的2.1%,若仅考虑高收入国家,这一比例更高。

基于这一基本计算,我们的贡献应在$6.3以上,或约合50 亿英镑,占3000亿美元目标的一部分。这听起来数额巨大。但英国将在2027-28年度在国防上花费£74亿。而气候变化可能是一个更大的威胁[28]。

国政府自身的《国际气候融资战略》将应对国内外气候变化列为优先事项——这不是慈善,而是对我们长期国家安全和繁荣的必要投资。那么,为什么安迪·伯纳姆现在将其视为一个可以随时动用的小金库,以支付其他账单?

气候变化不会等到我们口袋里有更多钱的时候。首相降低公交票价的做法是正确的,但政府应当另寻资金来源来支持这一举措。否则,低票价就如同在泰坦尼克号上,指望别人来阻止我们沉没。

理性之声

伯纳姆最大的背叛

显然,安迪·伯纳姆正在考虑一项后脱欧计划,即重新加入欧盟单一市场,并将我国的核威慑力量扩展至整个欧洲大陆。

这不仅是对其选区梅克菲尔德脱欧投票选民的彻底背叛,重新加入单一市场更将是经济自杀行为。我们目前已拥有对欧盟市场的零关税、无配额准入,且无需支付高昂的会员费,亦无需让我国所有企业——包括那92%不与欧盟开展贸易的企业——被迫遵守那些扼杀创新的欧盟法规,而这些法规已使欧洲成为全球经济增长最缓慢的大陆。

任何头脑清醒的人都不会考虑这种交易。

工党试图掩盖其私心

难道你不喜欢社会主义者那套永恒的“照我说的做,别照我做的做”作风吗?

最新的典型例子是净零事务大臣米亚塔·凡布勒,她将自己的三个孩子送入私立学校,却支持工党旨在阻止成千上万其他家长效仿的增值税政策,该政策已迫使30,000名儿童退出私立学校。

然而,(接受私立教育的)米亚塔并不在乎。她的孩子仍有幸就读于私立学校。社会主义者似乎认为,私立教育对他人而言是糟糕的,但对他们自己的家庭却完全没问题。

英国被EDI浪潮碾压

你可能会以为,那些早已声名狼藉的平等、多样性与包容(EDI)计划、配额、课程和项目早该被扫进历史的垃圾堆——但事实并非如此。这个耗资数百万英镑的产业依然大行其道。

最新的丑闻是,剑桥大学任命杰森·阿戴(Jason Arday)为教育社会学教授,尽管其研究成果和出版物与同类职位的其他任职者相比明显不足,而剑桥本应是所谓的全球顶尖教育机构之一。

遴选委员会如此急于达成多样性目标,甚至不惜以损害学校在学术卓越方面的全球声誉为代价。

而当《泰晤士高等教育》记者杰克·格罗夫(Jack Grove)发邮件向阿戴询问其学术记录、简历以及声称筹集£5.5的慈善款项的相关合理问题时,阿戴及其代表竟向警方正式投诉骚扰,伦敦警察厅荒谬地花了四个月时间调查此案,最终不了了之。

伦敦警察厅后来向格罗夫道歉。但这种荒唐的政治正确EDI理念已在英国执法机构中扎根,例如反种族主义承诺指导下,警员将被刺伤流血的谋杀案受害者亨利·诺瓦克(Henry Nowak)视为加害者,仅仅因为他是白人,而凶手声称诺瓦克曾对他有种族歧视言行。

有害的EDI理念已深入英国各机构,包括塔维斯托克诊所丑闻中意识形态凌驾于证据之上,以及瓦尔多·卡洛卡内(Valdo Calocane)在精神健康工作者将其释放后杀害三人的骇人案件。

尽管有这些令人发指的案例,EDI浪潮仍在继续,因为它已成为如今掌控众多公共机构的左翼进步人士的图腾,同时也成为大型企业的摇钱树,这些企业有动机让其长期存在。

在20世纪60和70年代,英国成功制定了严格的反歧视法律,如《种族关系法》、《性别歧视法》和《同工同酬法》,但随着美国企业在全球扩张,它们将“管理多样性”的理念引入英国,并积极将其推广为企业增长和公共部门合规的工具。而工党在2020年通过的《平等法》则催生了今天的EDI,并推动了其议程。该法将九项反歧视法律合并为一个框架,并为所有公共机构设定了积极消除歧视、促进机会平等的法定义务。

这立即催生了对全职管理人员、培训供应商和外部顾问的巨大需求,以确保合规。

随后在2020年,四大会计师事务所(德勤、安永、普华永道和毕马威)直接与世界经济论坛合作,构建了推动这些企业政策在全球最大公司落地的通用金融框架,将EDI置于国际金融的核心。

EDI产业目前全球市值约为154亿美元,预计到2030年将增长至270亿美元。

《平等法》亟需进行根本性修改,以避免对英国、国民及各机构造成更大伤害。工党不会这样做——这种政治正确的荒唐理念已深入其基因——但下一届政府必须将其列为首要任务,彻底解决这一问题。

为特朗普量身打造的泰勒·斯威夫特

唐纳德·特朗普周末在发布的一段烟花视频中使用了民主党支持者泰勒·斯威夫特的音乐,引发了TikTok上的火花。

斯威夫特的法律团队迅速阻止了音乐的使用。特朗普心知肚明——他是在挑起争端以增加自己的在线粉丝,而泰勒·斯威夫特正中其下怀。

1989年,玛格丽特·撒切尔政府提出了一项生物武器计划,旨在摧毁秘鲁的可卡因供应。这项绝密计划是在波顿当化学防御设施培育的数千只飞蛾,将其“投放”到可卡因作物上,但由于秘鲁首都利马缺乏政治和财政支持,该提案最终未能实施。

目前,秘鲁可卡因的年总价值在源头约为120亿美元,在全球零售市场上则高达2500亿美元至3500亿美元。全球每年因可卡因死亡的人数约为3万人。

如此巧妙的计划未能实施,实在可惜。不知道现在是否可以重新启用?

释放还是不释放……安迪的唐宁街困局与杀手阴谋

安迪·伯纳姆度假归来,正在权衡英格兰和威尔士的哪些杀人犯应继续关押,哪些可以释放。目前有950名过失杀人罪犯正在服刑。

政府官员已告知首相,唯一在法律上站得住脚的方式是阻止整个过失杀人罪犯群体的提前释放,以确保PC安德鲁·哈珀的杀手继续服刑,但同时也告知他监狱人满为患,无法将全部950人继续关押。

伯纳姆应当拿出魄力,告诉公务员所有杀人犯都将继续关押,并制定替代方案,比如启用比比·斯德哥尔摩驳船或从其他国家租用监狱空间。

释放这些罪犯会让我们所有人更不安全,并必然导致悲剧性后果。

地方事务

前几天,我在镇中心闲逛时,和一对瑞典夫妇聊了起来。他们是游客,正准备乘坐埃斯克山谷铁路——这条美丽的线路穿过仿佛时光倒流的村庄,最终抵达世界闻名的海滨小镇惠特比。不过,他们的旅程首先在米德尔斯堡镇中心稍作停留。

他们有些困惑地问我,我的家乡今天是否有什么特别的日子。

特别的日子?当时是周五上午,除了即将到来的周末让人有些兴奋,我实在不明白他们指的是什么。“可为什么所有商店都关门了?”那位女士问道。

哦,这个嘛。我有点尴尬地解释说,不,这不是银行假日之类的——只是曾经在这里的所有商店都已经搬走了。我又问她是否听说过玛莎百货(Marks & Spencer)。“当然听过!”她回答道。

我指了指我们正站在旁边的那家巨大的空置店铺。不仅如此——Next、Debenhams,还有Binns,全都在方圆500米左右的范围内消失了。

他们震惊不已。他们同情地问,是否是英国经济造成的。我们知道这只是部分原因,因为购物者正成群结队地转向网上购物。

遗憾的是,我那天进城是为了和人们及商家老板聊聊全镇乃至全英国商店盗窃案激增的问题。许多人告诉我,这让他们感到不安全,因为小混混们进出商店,想拿什么就拿什么,几乎不受任何惩罚。

难怪购物者会抛弃镇中心,转而选择安全的零售园区。这些地方虽然缺乏同样的特色和个性,但至少不会在匆匆购物后遭到吸毒成瘾的窃贼袭击。

我之前就谈过我们商业街的衰落,而我们的新首相安迪·伯纳姆已经表示,这是他的首要任务之一。

但尽管降低或完全取消商业税率对镇中心至关重要,我们还需要让商业街成为宜人且安全的场所。这意味着必须采取零容忍政策,警方要处理每一起盗窃案。越早终结所谓的“£200规则”(该规则常常让低于这一金额的窃贼逍遥法外),情况就会越好。

凭借他作为北方市长的资历,我希望伯纳姆先生

我是那种靠待办事项清单过日子的人。10件事中有5件我都会写在清单上,完成后再兴高采烈地划掉。所以当我发现6成英国人表示自己的清单从未被完全划完时,不禁笑出了声。

英国天然气公司(British Gas)的最新研究发现,85%的人因需要完成的任务数量而感到不堪重负。跟我有同感吧!前五大待办事项: - 清洁烤箱——41% - 整理杂物抽屉——30% - 给冰箱除霜——28% - 熨一堆衬衫——25% - 疏通堵塞的淋浴或下水口(头发堵塞)——24% 祝你好运!

周末加班可能是件苦差事——但有一个小小的安慰是,我的丈夫克里斯会在电脑前忙碌的我(好吧,“忙碌”可能有点夸张……但我觉得自己有点可怜也是可以的)做一个煎蛋三明治。

总之,说回三明治。它总是用切片白面包、黄油、2个煎蛋(蛋黄当然要流心)和大量番茄酱做成。

我对这顿早餐非常满意,甚至成了那种拍照发推特的“社交达人”。然而,我很快发现,并非所有人都像我一样喜欢番茄酱,有些人甚至对用量之大感到愤怒。

我一直是番茄酱的忠实爱好者,甚至小时候会在周日大餐中加上一大坨,让它在肉汁里游泳:多么不雅!

不过,要是问我的话,这也算是“每日五蔬果”之一了……

这将成为他的一场关键战役。毕竟,我希望瑞典游客记住的是英国的魅力,而非我们那些被木板封住的店面。

竞争对手与制片人费利西蒂共度欢乐周末

作者:贾尔斯·谢尔德里克

竞争对手们暂时放下了荧屏上的分歧,共度了一个热闹的周末。

这群明星出演的热门剧集《八十年代风情喜剧》(改编自已故作家吉莉·库珀的《拉特郡纪事》系列小说)剧组为该剧执行制片人费利西蒂·布朗特庆祝其45岁生日举办了派对。

在场祝酒的嘉宾包括她的美国演员丈夫、出演《穿普拉达的女王》的斯坦利·图齐(65岁),以及艾米莉·阿塔克、贝拉·麦克莱恩、凯瑟琳·帕金森、鲁弗斯·琼斯和亚历克斯·哈塞尔等明星。

36岁的女演员艾米莉与未婚夫阿利斯泰尔·加纳及他们一岁的儿子巴尼一同出席派对,她在向费利西蒂(艾米莉·布朗特的姐姐)致敬时表示:“你深受大家喜爱,总是用你的善良和坚持让每个人度过最美好的时光。生日快乐——我们爱你。”

费利西蒂收到了一个奶酪蛋糕,她曾担任已故女爵士吉莉的文学经纪人(吉莉于去年去世,享年88岁),并协助将其小说改编为Disney+平台上的热门剧集。

该剧第一季于2024年上线,收获好评如潮;第二季的前六集已于5月和6月播出,最后六集预计将于今年11月与观众见面。

“没有我,我的家人过得更自在……”

何塞·穆里尼奥承认,他很少有时间陪伴家人,但坚称妻子和孩子们在他不在时生活得更加自在。

这位足球教练与青梅竹马的妻子玛蒂尔德·“塔米”·法里亚结婚已逾35年,育有两个孩子——30岁的玛蒂尔德和26岁的小何塞·马里奥。

但在过去25年的执教生涯中,他先后执掌本菲卡、波尔图、切尔西、曼联、罗马、国际米兰和皇家马德里(现已二度执教),家人鲜少随行。在曼彻斯特期间,他大部分时间独自住在洛瑞酒店。孩子们成长的大部分时间里,他都在外奔波,而他们则留在伦敦西部的家中。

在最新采访中,63岁的穆里尼奥表示:“有时会有‘我应该在场,但我没在’的感觉。但我希望你们不要认为家人对我来说不重要。他们在我的生活中占据着无可比拟的位置。但说实话,我知道他们没有我的时候过得更开心。这是事实。如果他们和我一起去餐厅,跟没有我时完全不一样。” 不过,穆里尼奥强调了婚姻和家庭生活的重要性。

2014年,他曾表示:“我妻子信任我,了解我。我们从17岁和15岁起就在一起——一切对我们来说都清晰透明。我的社交生活几乎不存在。我只有工作和家庭生活。我对现状非常满意。万事的秘诀在于爱。”

在Netflix最新纪录片中,屏幕上播放着家庭照片,他谈道:“我尽力保护他们,但很多时候,我做不到。这并不容易……他们理解,要成为足球界的我,这就是我的方式。”

● 三集纪录片《穆里尼奥》今日在Netflix上线。

门铃摄像头捕捉到平房爆炸瞬间,砖块和碎片被抛向空中;上图为空中俯拍现场,工程人员已抵达。

爆炸奇迹

一栋平房在火球中爆炸,砖块和碎片如雨点般落在汽车和房屋上,令人震惊的门铃摄像头画面记录下了这一幕。

一名男子在被从废墟中救出后,因受伤被紧急送往医院,而米尔顿凯恩斯附近的邻居们不得不被疏散。

爆炸还引发了白金汉郡牛顿朗维尔一处住宅的火灾。

泰晤士河谷警察局表示,他们于周日上午9.44am接到报警,称发生爆炸并有一处房产倒塌。

火灾调查人员透露,该事件疑为煤气爆炸。

煤气配送公司SGN表示,附近居民不得不被疏散。

一位不愿透露姓名的邻居通过门铃摄像头拍下了爆炸画面,并称自家房屋也受到了损坏。这位邻居的朋友尼基·理查森承认:“看到对面房屋爆炸的威力,实在太可怕了。”

另一位目击者凯蒂当时正在哥哥家借宿,她说:“我当时在睡觉,但听到一声巨大的爆炸声后猛地坐了起来。感觉就像有什么东西撞进了房子。

“我哥哥看到火光和浓烟。所有的保温材料碎片都从天上掉下来。

“我哥哥看到有人正在帮助那名男子从房屋中出来。简直不敢相信他能活下来。浴室似乎完好无损,所以我们认为他当时肯定在浴室里。当我跑向事发地点时,

出现了两次较小的爆炸。火焰从地面喷射而出。太可怕了。”

苏·沃特金斯,65, 住在附近,她说当天上午9.30am左右,她正坐在花园里,听到两声“非常响的砰砰声”,并感到地面在震动。

可怕

沃特金斯女士补充道:“有一栋平房着火了;前面被炸飞了;屋顶也没了。

“有一名男子坐在外面的地上,看起来茫然且震惊,周围有人在照顾他。”

居民们称,在爆炸发生前9.小时,他们就报告了煤气味。一位当地居民表示,他们曾致电紧急煤气服务部门,工作人员评估情况后表示将于周日或昨天派团队前来修复问题。

“The Crooked Billet”酒吧成为了被迫疏散者的避难中心。

酒吧老板娘内斯·桑顿-基钦表示:“我们酒吧一直是村庄的中心,也是社区的中心。那些需要我们帮助的人有了一个安全的地方可以来。”

警方表示:“一人受伤,需送医治疗,目前仍在医院接受治疗。”

SGN发言人表示:“我们的工程师今天上午已加入现场紧急服务队。

“我们了解到一名居民已被送往医院接受治疗,我们的心与他们同在。”

被控毒品大佬从迪拜引渡至都柏林

丹尼尔·基纳汉在蒙面警卫押送下离开法庭,面临洗钱指控

!

据称的有组织犯罪头目丹尼尔·基纳汉昨日在被从迪拜的奢华生活引渡后,在一所最高戒备监狱中醒来。作为全球头号通缉犯之一,基纳汉在严密安保下被押送回爱尔兰本土,面临指控称其经营一个国际毒品走私和洗钱帝国,据称其势力范围涉及英国、西班牙和美国。

一架载有49岁的基纳汉的爱尔兰政府专机于周日晚上降落在都柏林。一支全副武装的警方车队迅速将其押送至爱尔兰首都的特别刑事法庭,并以指挥犯罪组织罪对其提起指控。法官帕特里克·麦格拉思解释称,由于该指控,保释申请必须提交高等法院。基纳汉回应道:“我明白,我想我们都知道我不会获得保释,但还是谢谢。”

法庭命令将其羁押在高戒备的波特劳伊斯监狱,等待10月5日的下一次出庭。基纳汉将被关押在单独设计的隔离牢房中,与其他囚犯隔离,并使用高科技信号干扰器阻断任何通讯。

此前,基纳汉的家庭成员被指与另一个爱尔兰犯罪团伙之间的血腥帮派战争有关联。美国当局在2022年表示,这场争斗已导致18人死亡。

爱尔兰警方自2016年起一直在追捕基纳汉团伙成员,当时双方的敌对关系在都柏林一家酒店举行的拳击赛称重仪式上引发了一场白天枪击事件。基纳汉当时是一名拳击推广人。

据美国财政部称,基纳汉被认为是从其迪拜基地遥控该团伙的日常运作。

财政部表示,这包括从南美洲购买“大量可卡因”,组织在爱尔兰的分销,并试图将毒品走私到英国。基纳汉于4月被迪拜当局拘留。

2022年3月,基纳汉组织在英国的头目托马斯·“轰炸机”·卡瓦纳因策划向英国走私毒品被判处21年监禁。

联合国呼吁释放一名英国三子之父,其家人担心他将死在迪拜的“恶魔岛”,因其刑期被延长了20年。

商人瑞安·科尼利厄斯(72岁)于2008年因与迪拜伊斯兰银行相关的欺诈指控被判入狱。

他始终否认这些指控,但在2018年服刑10年后,其刑期在未经审判的情况下被银行要求延长了20年。

联合国现已呼吁阿联酋政府立即释放瑞安,称其拘留属任意拘留,且存在严重司法程序不当。

瑞安目前被关押在臭名昭著的阿勒艾维尔监狱,该监狱位于距离城市45分钟车程的沙漠中,与迪拜的摩天大楼和Instagram网红形成天壤之别。

与围绕旧金山昔日著名监狱的鲨鱼出没水域不同,瑞安所在的监狱被数英里的灼热沙漠包围,他与另外10名囚犯一同被关押在一个集装箱大小的牢房中长达17年。

他的家人表示,一名狱友死于结核病后,他也感染了该病。瑞安有18个月未获得治疗。此外,还有关于酷刑和长达20天以上单独关押的指控。

如果刑满释放日期为2038年,瑞安出狱时将年满84岁。

他的妻子希瑟表示,他已经错过了三个孩子(现年分别为36、34和24岁)的诸多重要时刻。她上一次通过视频通话看到丈夫的面容还是四年前,而

三个孩子的72岁父亲恐将死于“沙漠中的阿尔卡特拉斯”

他的第一个孙辈于昨日出生,是其长子及其伴侣的孩子。希瑟表示:“瑞安将无法见到这个孩子,甚至无法见到我儿子的伴侣,这令我感到极度心碎。

“作为祖母,我非常兴奋,但同时也深感悲伤,因为这一切正在发生,而他仍未获释。”

联合国人权理事会在一份报告中呼吁英国政府和阿联酋当局通过外交途径解决瑞安的“苦难”,结束其困境。

瑞安的姐夫克里斯·帕格特表示,从一开始就应对司法程序提出质疑。他说:“联合国任意拘留问题工作组回顾了所有情况及判决,明确指出他从未获得公正审判。

“英国的政策似乎一直是视而不见。”

希瑟在写给英国首位复杂领事案件特使阿利斯泰尔·伯特的信中写道:“请释放我的丈夫,让我们能在余生的几年里团聚,我会原谅你们过往的一切。”

英国外交部、阿联酋政府及迪拜银行均未对此置评。


20 距离 撰稿人:汉娜·布里特

《Hi-de-Hi》中的佩吉像她用来打扫小屋的扫帚一样笨拙,却热情洋溢、急不可耐,她的梦想终于成真——从小屋女佣晋升为营地主持人兼演员,成为一名“黄外套”。她渴望从小屋女佣晋升为营地主持人的强烈愿望,是这部深受全国喜爱的情景喜剧九季中的一条迷人主线。

然而,饰演虚构度假营地Mapius假日营佩吉·奥勒伦肖的演员苏·波拉德表示,直到她偶然看到一道谜题,才意识到自己有多出名。

现年76的苏说:“我看到填字游戏时愣了一下。题目问:‘在《Hi-de-Hi》中饰演佩吉的演员叫什么名字?’我简直不敢相信。是我,是我!”

不过,她也曾多次感受到自己的名气,比如皇后乐队的弗雷迪·默丘里邀请她一同去俱乐部,披头士成员保罗·麦卡特尼向她索要签名,她还曾在唐宁街与戴安娜王妃共舞。

佩吉的高光时刻转瞬即逝。她在1988年最后一集中获得晋升——随后埃塞克斯的度假营地迅速关闭。

苏的聚光灯时刻则更为持久。她尤其怀念与饰演傲慢、痴情“黄外套”格拉迪斯的鲁思·马多克合作的时光。

鲁思于2022年12月去世,79,在跌倒后接受手术时离世,令苏深感震惊。

她回忆《Hi-de-Hi》巅峰时期吸引超过2000万观众时说:“我们之间没有嫉妒。没有‘你的台词比我多’这种事。我们是一个非常默契的团队。

“我很庆幸在她手术前一天给她打了电话,只是说‘祝你好运,宝贝。希望一切顺利,告诉我进展如何。’

“当我得知她去世的消息时,简直无法相信。太可怕了。我一直想着她。”

“与人长期合作,他们不再只是同事。你会看到他们的孩子长大,看到他们过得如何。我们很幸运能拥有这种额外的家庭般的温暖。她喜欢威士忌和香烟。而且,你知道,她还是一位出色的歌剧演唱家。”

苏曾在1986年以《Starting Together》一曲登上排行榜第二位,此后还出演了BBC One的《You Rang, M'Lord?》,并在西区音乐剧中亮相,还出演了46部哑剧。

她表示:“哑剧纯粹是不掺杂质的快乐。观众被允许尽情享受。人们在台上仍会对我大喊‘Hi-di-Hi!’”

但她最喜欢的角色并非佩吉,而是《安妮》中邪恶的孤儿院女舍监汉尼根小姐。她说:“我断断续续演了10年——每次巡演12周。把所有巡演时间加起来,我扮演汉尼根小姐的时间足足有两年半。她已经成为我的一部分。”

“我总能发现不同的东西。她很出色。你可以真正地与她互动。我尽力让她看起来尽可能真实。我几乎不化妆,她却涂着这种可怕的蓝色眼影,弄得我鼻子上、眼睛周围都是。”

“我五分钟就能准备好。我会把假发扔过化妆间,然后踩在上面,让它看起来像是她五年没打理过头发。”

Su更喜欢扮演反派角色。“毫无悬念,尤其是在童话剧里。我宁愿扮演一个邋遢的反派,也不愿演一个干干净净的好人。”但这

我出名的标志是登上了填字游戏

《Hi-de-Hi》的苏·波拉德谈被保罗·麦卡特尼和弗雷迪·默丘里认出,以及与戴安娜王妃共舞

img-64.jpeg

今年圣诞节,她将在克鲁利西姆剧院的《睡美人》中扮演“穿着布维耶靴子的好仙女”。

周四,她的新书《苏·波拉德:充满活力》(Su Pollard: Fully Charged)即将出版,回顾她在演艺界数十年的经历。书中她回忆起80年代中期被皇后乐队主唱认出时的震惊。

“我清楚记得在厄尔斯考特的科帕卡巴纳俱乐部舞池遇到弗雷迪·默丘里。这位男士走到我面前,非常有礼貌地问:‘介意我加入你吗?’

“我差点尖叫出来。他非常放松且迷人。他告诉我他有多喜欢《-de-!》,然后,让我高兴的是,他请我为他正确地说出节目中著名的口头禅‘-de-!’。

“当然,我大声应答,他回了一句‘-de-Ho!’然后他请我合影。”

苏还曾与一位披头士成员有过交集。“在皇家综艺表演结束后,我发现自己站在保罗·麦卡特尼和琳达旁边。

“突然他冒出一句‘-de-!’。他告诉我他的一位亲戚有多喜欢这个节目,并问我是否可以为她签名。”她还在唐宁街10号与戴安娜王妃一起跳踢踏舞,当时两人都在参加一场慈善活动。

“她告诉我她喜欢我的裙子,说‘它像彩虹一样’。这条裙子是一位粉丝编织的——羊毛方块拼接而成。

她说:‘我听说你在演《我和我的女孩》。’我说:‘是的,但我踢踏舞跳得很吃力。’她告诉我她小时候学过芭蕾,但最近在学踢踏舞,发现很难掌握。

“我给她示范了几个舞步,她说:‘那我们一起跳点什么吧。’于是我们就跳了。真的很棒,完全是即兴发挥。”苏在诺丁汉长大,回忆起4岁时在圣诞节为父母希尔达和唐表演唱歌,他们当时在香烟制造商Players工作。她说:“我从未想过其他职业道路。我天生就想表演。他们一直鼓励我。我最早的记忆之一是妈妈跟着收音机唱歌,每次我听收音机时都会想起她。”

作为BBC广播4台益智节目《Just a Minute》的常客,她还在2021年参加了《名人厨王争霸》。苏补充道:“我的职业道德遗传自父亲,他一生中大约只休了2周假。”在当地剧院磨练后,苏于1975年首次登上全国电视,参加了《机会敲门》。她的第一部情景喜剧是1979年的《Two Up, Two Down》,随后是1980年的《-de-!》。

在取得所有这些成就后,她没有退休的打算。她希望不久后将她的个人秀《苏·波拉德:依然充满活力》(Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged)带到新西兰,此前她已在英国巡演了2年。她说:“别提那个‘r’字。我甚至没有考虑过——我玩得太开心了。”苏目前单身,此前曾与作家彼得·基奥(1984年至1992年)结婚,蜜月后不久,彼得因一场备受关注的法庭审判被公开出柜。她说:“我和前夫的丈夫关系很好。”

魅力十足且自嘲,苏是喜剧女演员的支持者。“我一直在看《安·德罗伊德》和苏·约翰斯顿主演的剧集。太棒了——希望他们能拍更多。”她对喜剧编剧的建议很简单:“只要你的对话机智且有温度,你就成功了一半。这是50年代、80年代情景喜剧的成功秘诀,今天依然适用。”

她收到的最好建议来自导演图德·戴维斯。“我25岁时,他说:‘别自命不凡,波拉德。’很高兴我一直遵循这个建议。”

HS2隧道纪念牌向布鲁内尔工程先驱致敬

纪念牌与小伊桑巴德·布鲁内尔

HS2隧道在伦敦西部地下130英尺处穿过布鲁内尔工程世家家族墓地,一块纪念牌已在此处安装。该纪念牌设于尤斯顿隧道墙壁上,该隧道正由两台盾构机挖掘,连接西伦敦的老橡树公地与伦敦市中心。线路从肯萨尔绿色公墓下方穿过,马克·伊桑巴德·布鲁内尔及其子伊桑巴德·金德姆·布鲁内尔均安葬于此。马克爵士于1843年建成泰晤士河隧道,这是世界上首条在通航河流下方开通的隧道,并于1818年发明了至今仍在使用的隧道盾构法——如这条4.5英里长的隧道。其子的众多成就包括大西部铁路和克利夫顿悬索桥。高铁项目首席执行官马克·怀尔德表示,布鲁内尔家族的重要性“无论怎样强调都不为过”。

造就一位美食巨星

传奇厨师安东尼·波登仅用一个难忘的夏天,就掌握了许多技能和魅力,使他成为文化偶像。

这位纽约人成为了全球美食与文化的鉴赏家,以及人类境况的记录者。

他于2000年出版了畅销回忆录《厨房机密档案》,并在自杀前的2018年,以61岁的年龄成为电视上最知名的旅行纪录片制作人之一。

但在安东尼·波登成为安东尼·波登之前,有过1975年的那个夏天。

而正是这一时期被改编成了新片《托尼》。

影片由安东尼奥·班德拉斯饰演波登的导师——一位慈父般的海鲜厨师,他收留了由23岁的多米尼克·塞萨饰演的19岁鲁莽自负的少年。

影片由加拿大导演马特·约翰逊执导,故事背景设定在马萨诸塞州风景如画的科德角海滨飞地普罗温斯敦,

作者:林恩·拉斯克

观众在这里看到一位来自新泽西的瘦高少年开始发现自己未来的最初痕迹。

29岁的里奥·伍德尔饰演波登寻求刺激的享乐主义同事萨尔,而英国明星艾米莉亚·琼斯(24岁)则饰演他的爱人南希。

危险

40岁的约翰逊说:“通过《托尼》,我想弄清楚波登是如何成为现在的他的。

“这是一个关于我们自认为熟悉的人的成长故事,但没有人了解他人生这一特定时期。

“影片的概念是选取安东尼·波登年轻时一个具有决定性意义的夏天,并扩展人们对他的神话认知。

我们想拍一部充满希望的电影。”

在影片中,对波登人生影响最大的是由65岁的班德拉斯饰演的“厨师”。这位西班牙演员表示,他的角色西罗意识到波登正走在一条危险的道路上,并解释道:“他注意到波登在爱情、毒品方面正朝着错误的方向发展。他正进入一个难以脱身的隧道。”

班德拉斯在家乡马拉加拥有多家餐厅,他表示非常享受沉浸在厨房场景中的感觉。

他补充道:“我有七家餐厅。我去了其中一家专营海鲜的厨房,一位名叫罗西奥的厨师教我如何在不伤到自己的情况下开牡蛎。

“这并不像看起来那么容易。纪律在生活的方方面面都很重要,尤其是在厨房里。”

独家报道

作者:爱德华·阿贝尔·史密斯

在过去的一年里,我每个月都会去见一个可能下次见面时已经不在人世的人。每次离开前,我总会问同一个问题:“下个月我还能再来吗?”他的回答从未改变。“当然,”他说,“如果我还活着的话。”

克莱夫·弗里曼今年83岁。他身患晚期癌症,如今已虚弱到无法继续接受治疗。他因一起据他称自己并未犯下的谋杀案,已在监狱中度过了超过38年的时光。

他可能是英国服刑时间最长、坚称无辜的囚犯,目前被关押在莱希尔监狱(HMP Leyhill)。1989年,法官判处他的最低刑期为15年。他已服刑超过两倍半的刑期。这并非因为他有暴力行为,也不是因为他在狱中惹过任何麻烦——近40年的监狱生涯中,他的档案上没有任何违纪记录。

克莱夫·弗里曼仍被关押的唯一原因,是他拒绝承认自己犯下了他坚称未曾犯下的罪行。假释制度对这样的人没有任何机制可循。自刑期届满以来,每一次假释听证实际上都在因同一个拒绝认罪的理由再次惩罚他。

“我向已故的妻子承诺过,只有作为一个被昭雪的无辜者,我才会离开监狱,”他曾这样告诉我,“她是个了不起的女人。”他至今仍在信守这个承诺。

在过去的一年里,我每月都会在克莱夫的临时释放日去见他。多年来,他一直在狱中录制录音带,我已有机会聆听。我还查阅了案件卷宗和庭审记录。与丹尼·卡帕宁一起,我们制作了一个关于他案件的播客。

每次见到他,我都会看到他又衰老了一些。他彬彬有礼、言辞精准,且——考虑到一切——令人惊讶地镇定。坐在他对面的咖啡馆里,或是坐在他旁边的车上,最让我震撼的是,决定他命运的人从未真正了解过他的故事。

陪审团听到的只是:1988年4月,时年44岁的弗里曼——一名刚到伦敦的前津巴布韦士兵——在维多利亚车站附近的一个酒吧与一名醉酒的陌生人亚历山大·哈迪相遇后,将对方带回了他在罗瑟希德的公寓。

两人是在酒吧偶然相识的。弗里曼第二天就离开了英国前往美国。他告诉我,当他离开公寓去赶飞机时,哈迪还处于“醉酒昏迷”状态,显然整夜都在喝威士忌,而弗里曼则在睡觉。但当邻居向紧急服务部门报告公寓起火时,他们发现了哈迪被部分烧焦的尸体。当警方发现弗里曼向家人发送的关于一项新人寿保险计划的混乱信息,以及他打算自杀以便家人能领取保险金的内容后,怀疑便转向了弗里曼。

调查人员认为,弗里曼将哈迪诱骗回公寓,杀害了他,然后纵火焚烧公寓,以便让人误以为尸体是弗里曼本人,从而让他的家人领取保险金。而弗里曼则持假护照离开了英国。

弗里曼最终在澳大利亚被捕,并被遣返回英国。在陪审团不到一小时的审议后,他被判谋杀罪名成立。

让陪审团确信他有罪的,主要不是法医证据或警方关于人寿保险骗局的假设——而是弗里曼的行为。他不仅在哈迪死亡时突然持假护照离境,还提前收拾好了行李,准备迅速逃离。他

这个人是否在为一桩从未发生的罪行服刑而死于狱中?

克莱夫·弗里曼(Clive Freeman)因一桩他坚称自己未曾犯下的谋杀罪,已在监狱中服刑38年。如今,越来越多的医学专家认为这位83岁的老人说的可能是实情……


距离(Dist)

克莱夫在灰色侦察骑兵队服役时的照片,以及在海滩上的留影

他拒绝回答警探的任何问题,也不透露关于家人的细节。在1989年老贝利法庭的陪审团席上,这十二个人眼中的他,是一个提前策划好逃跑的罪犯。

要理解为何事实并非如此——或者至少可能并非如此——必须回溯数年,跨越数千英里,追溯到一场许多英国人已遗忘的战争。

克莱夫·弗里曼1943年出生于罗得西亚的索尔兹伯里。作为一名出色的骑手,他加入了灰色侦察骑兵队——一支骑兵侦察部队,与罗伯特·穆加贝领导的叛乱势力作战,站在白人少数派政府一方。他表现优异,以至于当1979年丛林战争结束、穆加贝在随后的选举中大获全胜时,弗里曼不仅仅是一名战败方的士兵。他是津巴布韦新政权宣布的第二个“国家公敌”。

这一定性并非仪式性的。处境相似的朋友遭到拘留和酷刑。弗里曼设法逃离了该国,定居英国。在伦敦,弗里曼以假名获得了护照——这并非为了逃避司法审判,而是因为以真实身份返回津巴布韦意味着死亡。

在警方审讯时的沉默、提前打包好的行李、伪造的证件——检方向陪审团展示的这些行为,被解读为一个有罪之人的表现,但对一个被津巴布韦政府宣布为国家公敌的人而言,这不过是他学会的生存之道。克莱夫当时很可能正遭受创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的折磨。

在法律团队的建议下,他没有出庭作证。陪审团仅凭半个故事定罪,而他们未曾听到的另一半,才是能够解释他们所见一切的关键。

在这一切之下,法医学证据本身已悄然崩塌十余年。定罪依据的是一种名为“伯克式谋杀”(burking)的理论——一种维多利亚时代的窒息手法,不会留下可靠的法医痕迹,几乎与证明其存在同样难以反驳。最初确认这一死因的病理学家在自己的笔记中曾写道,他认为哈迪(Hardie)最可能死于自然原因,特别是严重的潜在健康问题,包括急性胰腺炎和长期酗酒的影响。

九天后,在第三次尸检时,他改变了结论。陪审团只听到了“伯克式谋杀”理论。

这些最初的笔记直到2012年才被曝光,当时两名狱友在手动翻阅弗里曼的案卷时发现了它们。此后,八名独立病理学家审查了证据。

他们的结论概括而言是:“伯克式谋杀”的结论本不应在交叉询问中成立,而哈迪的潜在健康问题为其死亡提供了更合理的解释。

公寓起火的原因可能是哈迪醉酒时吸烟所致。

去年8月,经过长达25年的六次申诉,刑事案件复审委员会(CCRC)终于将弗里曼的案件提交上诉法院。CCRC的法定审查标准极为严格:仅在认为“定罪有真实可能无法维持”时才会采取行动。因此,他们对这起历经38年的定罪存在足够的担忧。

克莱夫·弗里曼仍在狱中。

弗里曼的上诉听证会不太可能在今年年底前举行。弗里曼本人认为自己等不到那一天了。每次我去看他——他变得更瘦,动作更迟缓——我都会不由自主地思考其中的算术问题。法官认定正义所需的刑期是15年。而他已经服刑了38年。这两个数字之间的差异,并非由他在狱中所做的任何事情解释,而完全是因为他拒绝说出他认为不真实的话。

这个故事有这样一个版本:克莱夫·弗里曼犯下了所有被定罪的罪行,而司法系统只是在履行其职责。但还有另一个版本——如今得到了刑事案件审查委员会(CCRC)、八位病理学家、一份被压制的尸检记录,以及一位垂死之人四十年来始终不渝的坚持——的支持:当初陪审团听到的只是他故事的一半,而有权纠正这一错误的人却始终没有采取足够迅速的行动。

下个月我还会再去看他。我会问是否可以在下下个月再去。

而他给我的回答,将一如既往。

詹姆斯·康诺利 著

围绕将一家曾广受欢迎的二级保护酒吧改建为清真寺的计划,一场争议正在发酵。

建于1934年的“门楼”(The Gatehouse)位于诺里奇市中心郊区,三年前因店主去世而关闭。

该建筑现被当地一家穆斯林协会购入。然而,改建计划引发了居民和酒吧维护者的担忧。

距此仅半英里处已有一座清真寺。

诺里奇穆斯林中心提交的方案显示,拟在酒吧后方加建一个大型铜色扩建部分,装饰有伊斯兰风格的屏风和阿拉伯文字。

惊恐

邻居们担心这一开发项目会导致周边街道车辆泛滥,而活动人士则警告称,英国传统酒吧的遗产可能会永远消失。

当地CAMRA(英国真实麦酒运动)成员理查德·迪克森(Richard Dixon)表示:“多年来,诺维奇失去了许多酒吧,要么被拆除,要么被改建。

“现在,这座城市的大片区域几乎没有或根本没有酒吧。”

他补充道:“没有做出任何合理努力来证明这家酒吧无法维持经营。

“盖特豪斯酒吧深受社区喜爱,用于社交、饮酒、音乐和酒吧游戏。它应该被保留作为公共酒吧继续使用。”

这座建筑具有工艺美术和都铎风格,于2015年被授予二级登录建筑地位。居民被邀请在

计划将登录建筑酒吧改建为清真寺引发愤怒

担忧传统地标将消失

市议会规划门户网站上表达意见。

一位反对者表示:“得知登录建筑盖特豪斯酒吧将被改建为清真寺,我感到震惊。

“我们已经失去了太多酒吧。诺维奇并不需要再建一座清真寺。”另一位反对者表示:“这一用途变更将导致更多车辆停放在邻近道路上,无疑会对该地区造成不利影响。”

但支持者表示,该计划将为这座建筑注入新的活力。一位支持者表示:“清真寺对建筑风格的尊重令人赞赏,只要改建尊重其历史,我认为应该批准。”

该计划包括在建筑后方新建一座现代化扩建部分。CGI效果图显示,玻璃幕墙的祈祷厅和功能厅俯瞰景观露台、花园及附近的河流。

随申请提交的声明称:“我们的梦想是打造一个社区中心,不仅为礼拜提供空间,还能赋予下一代强烈的伊斯兰身份认同,促进跨信仰交流,并消除对穆斯林的误解。”

特色

诺维奇穆斯林社区协会受托人西拉杰·伊斯兰姆(Sirajul Islam)表示,已与交通顾问制定了详细的交通管理计划。附近的停车位也已确定,并与一家当地企业达成协议,额外提供10至12个车位。

伊斯兰姆先生补充道:“附近还有一座清真寺,两处设施将通过在两个地点接纳礼拜者来积极合作。”

他表示,这座登录建筑的历史特色将得到保护。

该申请正等待诺维奇市议会的决定。

骗子瞄准丧亲者发出“令人不寒而栗”的警告

救济、愿景、恐惧、自我调节,均受丧亲之痛的限制

独家报道

保罗·吉夫斯 犯罪版编辑

《每日快报》调查发现,网络诈骗犯正将目标对准悲痛的退休人员,向他们兜售虚假葬礼计划、伪造死亡证明和假保险。

我们发现,针对近期丧亲者的诈骗案件数量正在上升,骗子利用他们情感和身体上的疲惫进行诈骗。

这些犯罪行为对最脆弱人群造成了毁灭性的经济影响,许多人因此失去了毕生积蓄。

犯罪团伙建立虚假的在线“哀伤网络”,以获取寻求情感支持者的信任,然后诱骗他们进行虚假投资。

超过四分之一的受害者(27%)遭遇了提供虚假品牌和服务信息的诈骗,而26%的受害者则落入了冒充权威机构的骗子设下的陷阱,这些骗子通过建立不当信任或煽动恐惧来实施诈骗。

专家表示,对于沉浸在失去亲人后繁琐文书工作中的丧亲者来说,识别潜在危险信号几乎是不可能的。

受害者表示,他们的判断力因疲劳、经济忧虑、急性压力以及丧亲带来的心理健康挑战而受到影响。

简(Jane)表示,她在一个虚假哀伤论坛上遭遇骗子后损失了“数千英镑”。

这位来自巴恩斯利的71岁老人透露:“我当时在寻求建议。

“一条社交媒体帖子将我引向了一个我认为是真实的网站。但这完全是一个邪恶的骗局。

“他们很快发现我从已故丈夫那里获得了人寿保险赔付。

“我被鼓励购买一份葬礼计划。我原以为这会减轻我去世后孩子们的负担,但结果完全是假的,我失去了所有的钱。

“我羞于告诉任何人,直到为时已晚。”

网络情报咨询公司牛津信息实验室(Oxford Information Labs)的高级欺诈研究员爱丽丝·泰勒(Alice Taylor)进行了这项研究,她表示,针对像简这样的脆弱老年人的精心策划的攻击“令人不寒而栗”。

她说:“骗子显然在利用一个人可能经历的最痛苦的悲剧。

“当一个人面临丧亲之痛时,他们正经历着多重脆弱性:悲伤本身,以及极可能伴随的情感

葬礼上开始的残酷骗局

一名诈骗犯在一名悲痛欲绝的寡妇最脆弱的时刻对她下手,骗取了超过 12 万英镑 的钱财。

33岁的彼得·麦克多纳(Peter McDonagh,右图)在网上看到这名女子丈夫的讣告后,从都柏林的家中赶来参加葬礼。

他自称是死者失散多年的朋友,随后在网上与这名寡妇建立了“友谊”,假装在她悲伤时提供帮助,实则为诈骗做铺垫。

他谎称需要钱支付虚构的私人癌症治疗费用、偿还债务及其他服务。受害者的钱来自亡夫去世后获得的人寿保险赔偿,至今未能追回。

2024年,当受害者收到麦克多纳妻子发来的信息后,他的骗局才被揭穿。今年早些时候,他因承认欺诈罪被判处45个月有期徒刑。

以及围绕死亡的身体疲惫。’

爱丽丝表示,处理死者后事带来的压力为诈骗犯创造了“完美风暴”。

她补充道:“人们很容易认为,没有人会如此冷酷无情,在别人如此脆弱时下手,但这正是诈骗犯所寻找的时机。”

一半的受害者无法追回损失的钱财,而心理创伤导致50%的受害者对线上互动变得极度紧张。

然而,80%的受害者因羞耻、疲惫或悲伤未向警方报案——爱丽丝称这一发现“触目惊心……但也不足为奇”。

她补充道:“诈骗受害者觉得自己能从中得到什么?

“受害者往往不被相信,被羞辱,甚至被认为是因‘易受骗’而‘自作自受’。当诈骗受害者确实报案时,通常面对的是人手紧张的警员,他们被期望以极少的执法资金应对最大的犯罪类型。几乎不可能采取有意义的行动,也无法让受害者感到被支持。”

庞贝的芬芳往昔不容小觑

科学家们发现了被厄运笼罩的庞贝城在2,000年前被维苏威火山吞没前的气味。对古代香炉中保存的残留物分析表明,在宗教仪式期间,罗马家庭中弥漫着泥土、木质和甜美的香气。

两个从庞贝遗址及附近博斯科雷阿莱出土的赤陶香炉,可追溯至公元79年的火山爆发。

检测显示,香炉中含有燃烧过的橡木、月桂和桑树等核果类植物的痕迹,以及可能的

家用香炉

葡萄制品——很可能是作为祭品的葡萄酒。

其中一个香炉还含有一种芳香树脂——可能是乳香或埃莱米树脂,后者能散发出清新的柑橘香气。

研究人员认为,这些原料在家庭祭祀时被点燃作为芬芳祭品。

这种树脂似乎来自印度或撒哈拉以南非洲地区,凸显了古代贸易网络的广度。研究结果发表于《古物》(Antiquity)期刊。

令人震惊的电话账单导致沟通混乱

img-95.jpeg

在就仅限SIM卡的套餐与机器人及客服沟通后感到沮丧

当一名手机用户收到债务催收员关于一项他并未办理的服务付款通知信时,事态发生了不祥的转折。

Len Graham为与运营商Vodafone解决此问题付出了巨大努力,但均以失败告终。当他向Crusader详细说明情况时,显而易见他正处于危险边缘。除非迅速采取行动,否则他将面临不断增加的费用以及信用记录受损。

“我与机器人进行了多次对话,随后又与一名客服人员沟通,但对方要求提供我根本没有的信息,”他绝望地说道。

这笔款项要求并非完全出乎意料,其起因是Len在一家比较网站上看到一个省钱优惠,办理了一项仅限SIM卡的套餐。本质上,这是一种不涉及新手机的预付费安排,使他不必被绑定在长期的合同中。

“但SIM卡没有寄到,所以我这边从未使用过,”他说。

“但似乎没有人理解这一点。我甚至去了该公司的一家门店,结果带回来的只是另一个拨打电话的号码。”

“随后我通过皇家邮政寄了一封挂号信,但仍然没有回应,至少如果情况变得真的很糟糕,我还有收据。我不明白为什么不能检查历史记录,这肯定能显示没有任何激活或使用记录。正因为如此,我也没有任何号码,只有一个订单参考号。”随着此事演变为债务问题,欠款金额在增加,但目前在接近 £30 的水平,仍然在可控范围内。但如果不采取行动,费用将不可避免地攀升,Len面临着承担成本的风险。

Crusader联系了Vodafone,令所有人欣慰的是,对方迅速对此做出了回应并解决了问题。

根据我们和Len的理解,缺失的账户已被关闭,债务已抹除,任何不利标记已被清除,并已申请了信用额度。

“我花了很多时间试图解决这个问题,感觉自己侥幸逃过一劫。你是我的英雄,”Len告诉Crusader。

狗的尿液中带血

我们家七岁的杂交母狗(已绝育)最近频繁上厕所,尿液中出现了血迹。X光检查发现膀胱内有一块非常大的结石,还有几块较小的结石。这些结石已被取出,兽医还将其中一块送去化验。请问是什么原因导致的?能否预防?

膀胱结石在狗身上并不少见,且种类多样。值得庆幸的是,您的兽医已将样本送去化验,以确定结石的具体类型。这是因为不同类型的结石,其治疗和预防方法也有所不同。常见的两种结石是鸟粪石(由磷酸铵镁组成)和草酸钙结石

此外,还有其他较少见的结石,如尿酸盐结石(在大麦町犬中更常见)和胱氨酸结石

临床症状包括尿液带血、排尿次数增多(常伴有排尿困难)。有时在结石较大之前,可能不会出现任何症状。

在这些情况下,兽医通常能通过触诊在膀胱中感知到结石。X光或超声检查可确诊。

鸟粪石结石通常由膀胱反复细菌感染(膀胱炎)及尿液pH值变化引起。

对于早期较小的鸟粪石结石,可通过特定处方饮食完全溶解,这些饮食在预防中也很重要。而草酸钙结石无法溶解,只能通过手术切除。

兽医建议增加饮水量、调整饮食,并定期进行尿液pH值和感染迹象分析,这一点非常重要。

您最近提到过一只猫在标记领地。我家有两只猫,都是领养的,但已绝育的公猫从不使用猫砂盆。他在家里到处蹲着小便,我得不停清洗毯子和地毯。有办法改掉他的这个习惯吗?

这个问题虽然棘手,但可以改善,不过没有简单的速效解决方案。您的猫需要通过兽医与猫行为专家合作,采取系统性的方法来解决。

首先,兽医会排除猫不使用猫砂盆的医学原因。在确认并治疗完医学问题后,接下来会制定个性化的行为矫正方案。

不当排尿可能由多种医学问题引起,需要逐一排查,首先是全面的身体检查。可能的原因包括膀胱炎(可能由压力引起)、糖尿病、甲状腺功能亢进和肾脏疾病。需要进行尿液和血液检测以排除这些可能性。

猫可能因脊柱或四肢关节疼痛而对猫砂盆产生厌恶。

行为专家可能会检查是否有足够的猫砂盆(通常两只猫至少需要三个),以及它们是否放置在安静、隐私的位置。猫对猫砂的质量和偏好也各不相同。

在考虑可能的压力源之前,全面重新评估猫砂盆的管理或许是明智之举。

如果确认存在压力,通常可以制定行为矫正方案。

兽医可能会开具抗焦虑药物来辅助治疗。

战胜夏季潮湿

“我们为祖父母的平房购买了这款除湿机,目前效果不错!它确实能降低湿度水平。操作非常简单,可以通过手机应用连接或手动按控制面板。我们还喜欢它带轮子的底座,方便在家中移动,做工质量好,噪音比其他品牌低。运行成本也不高......总的来说,这是一款不错的产品,物有所值。”

★★★★★ Tyler

温暖的天气往往不仅仅带来更高的气温。潮湿的空气会让家中感觉黏腻、闷热和不舒适,使人难以放松、睡眠或在室内晾干衣物。这款静音、节能的除湿机每天可去除高达20升水分,帮助在夏季及其他季节打造更清新、更舒适的家居环境。

在潮湿天气中保持舒适

高湿度会让房间感觉比实际温度更热。通过去除空气中多余的水分,这款除湿机有助于减少黏腻、闷热的感觉,营造更舒适的居住环境。

适用于客厅、开放式空间和家庭活动区等较大房间,它能自动监测湿度水平并调整性能,以维持您设定的湿度。这意味着它可以在无需频繁手动调节的情况下帮助保持舒适的环境。

更快晾干衣物

衣物烘干模式通过吸收周围空气中的多余水分,帮助衣物在室内更快晾干。无论是夏季阵雨后晾干衣物,还是避免室外花粉,它都能在无法将衣物晾在室外时提供实用的解决方案。

运行噪音仅为39分贝,足够安静,可全天或整夜运行而不影响日常生活。其节能设计、ERP认证和环保R290制冷剂有助于在有效控制湿度的同时,保持电力消耗在合理范围内。

简单的日常便利

宽大的3升水箱可延长运行时间,无需频繁清空,而24小时定时器则让您可以根据日常作息安排运行时间。智能手机应用程序和Alexa兼容功能提供额外便利,让您可选择远程监控和调整设置。

拥有三档风速、自动湿度控制和静音运行,这款除湿机能有效应对夏季湿气,同时为即将到来的潮湿季节提供可靠的湿度控制。

  • 每日可去除高达20升水分
  • 快速烘干衣物模式
  • 自动湿度控制
  • 3升水箱,水位清晰可见
  • Wi-Fi应用程序和24小时定时器

以下三个故事均来自真实的Securi-Briefs客户,他们与我们分享了自己的经历。

"尿失禁几乎毁了我的高尔夫生涯"

我一直热爱高尔夫,退休后每周都会打上几场。然而,在第18洞发生的一次尴尬事件彻底改变了这一切。

"一位球友本悄悄走到我身边,当时我正等着推杆。

'戴夫……老兄……你可能被发现了,'他说。

我低头一看,发现裤子前面有一大片湿渍。我羞愧极了。幸好我们在第18洞。我恨不得立刻回到车上。此前我曾有过几次小漏尿,但都不像这次这么严重。

"从那以后,我就不再打球了。我拒绝了高尔夫日活动,甚至和妻子卡罗尔的外出计划。每次出门前,我都得先找好最近的厕所。

"和许多男性一样,我羞于承认自己遇到了这个问题。

"几个月后,卡罗尔说服我去练习场。本一眼就认出了我,当我为自己的缺席找借口时,他悄悄告诉我,他也有膀胱问题。

"他告诉我,恢复自信的关键就是Securi-Briefs。它们看起来和感觉都像普通内裤,但内置了隐形吸收保护层。

"当晚我就下了订单。它们穿着合身,不显臃肿,让我不用再担心漏尿会透过裤子被看到。

"现在我一直穿着它们,最棒的是,我又能

定期打高尔夫了。

"膀胱漏尿让我无法做自己喜欢的事。Securi-Briefs帮我重获生活和高尔夫。"

——大卫·菲利普斯,吉尔福德

"普拉提课上的一场意外让我无地自容"

"普拉提是我每周的亮点。我喜欢上课,也喜欢课后和朋友们聊天,但这一切都改变了。

"在一次课程快结束时,我咳嗽了一声,感觉自己漏尿了。低头一看,紧身裤上有一大片湿渍。

"当时我坐在教室后排,便悄悄溜了出去,希望没人看到。从那以后,我再也没去上过课。之前我就有过在大笑或急着上厕所时出现小漏尿的情况,但这次完全不同,彻底摧毁了我的自信。

"我试过用护垫,但觉得又厚又

img-131.jpeg

不舒服。它们会移位,我还是担心漏尿会被人看见。

"当朋友桑德拉问我为什么不来上课时,我只好告诉了她。她悄悄解释说她也有膀胱漏尿的问题,甚至在上普拉提课时也穿着Securi-Briefs。

"我订购了Daily款,立刻感觉更有安全感。它们柔软、

低调,穿着感觉和普通内裤一样。

"一周后,我重返课堂。现在我可以咳嗽、大笑、做普拉提动作,而不用整节课都担心再次出丑。"

简·霍尔特,里彭

"夜间漏尿让我害怕去女儿家"

"有一次在女儿家过夜醒来时发现床单湿了,我羞愧得开始找借口不去她家过夜。

"在自己家我可以换床单,但在别人家里,所有人都会知道,我无法面对。

"女儿知道我有问题,经过一次推心置腹的谈话后,她帮我找到了Securi-Briefs。我选择了

Max吸收力款用于夜间,Daily款用于白天。

"它们看起来和普通内裤一样,比一次性内裤舒适得多。

"上个月我又去女儿家住了一晚,睡得很安稳。我不再围绕漏尿的恐惧来规划生活,还期待着和家人在湖区共度一周。"

玛丽安·比尔,普尔

今日精选

《与罗伯·林德和露丝·古德曼一起探索罗马》 5频道,晚上9点

图片

《英国缝纫大赛》 08频道,22:00,晚上8点

评委埃斯梅·扬向剩下的八位参赛者宣布了一个令人震惊的消息。

“我们要给你们一条男士泳裤,”她宣布道。

令人惊讶的是,没有人立刻冲出去,哭喊着:“我以为奖品是某种奖杯。这也太坑了吧!”

这是因为他们都心知肚明(我也是,不过算了),埃斯梅只是在说今晚的第一个挑战。

这是被颇为慷慨地称为“缝纫大赛体育周”的开场任务。第二个任务是用帆板帆制作套装,不过我想你已经猜到了。

《走进朗利特》 5频道,晚上8点

朗利特狮子保护区的负责人、首席饲养员瑞安(隶属于一个相当有趣的名字——“食肉动物团队”的负责人)面临着一个特别艰巨的挑战。

老实说,我真不知道他是怎么做到的。“我们观察游客的时间和观察动物的时间一样多,”他说,“对人们来说,这里不是自然环境。非常不寻常。

“所以尽管我们这里有所有关于关闭车窗的标志,但你知道很容易忘记自己身处何地。”

当今年“最委婉表达‘有些人是傻瓜’奖”揭晓时,我倾向于认为瑞安已经稳操胜券。

从头到尾都是罗马暴君

据你所知,历史上是否曾经有过一个叫阿德里安的坏人?有没有哪个叫这个名字的人曾经是恶棍、无赖、流氓或混蛋?我必须承认,我并没有非常彻底地研究过这个问题,实际上根本没有研究过,但我愿意押一大笔钱赌这个问题的答案是:“当然没有,迈克,你这个笨蛋。”

(虽然直接回答“没有”就足够了。) 阿德里安·奇利斯、阿德里安·埃德蒙森、阿德里安·邓巴、阿德里安·莱斯特、阿德里安·莫尔——好心的阿德里安名单还在继续。而坏心眼的阿德里安名单呢?根本没有。我查过了。

但你知道什么真的很奇怪吗?如果你在这个名字前面加一个H,

它就突然变成了完全不同的故事。罗布和露丝的最新历史纪录片带我们回到公元122年,解释其中的原因。

哈德良皇帝确实是个非常可怕的人,这是重点。因此,当传出他将访问帝国最偏远的角落不列颠尼亚时,许多人变得紧张不安。这个西方世界最重要的人物,甚至被奉为神(这确实容易冲昏一个人的头脑),哈德良的脾气变化无常。你绝不想惹他不高兴。“他打个响指,”一位专家指出,“就能让你被扔去喂狮子。”

比大多数人更紧张的,罗布解释道,是不列颠的总督昆图斯·庞培乌斯·法尔科。在法尔科的统治下,不列颠人一直是个麻烦的群体,尤其是北方。因此,哈德良计划修建一道巨大的城墙,横贯整个国家,以阻挡所谓的野蛮人(“但我该叫它什么呢?”他可能在想,“谁有什么有趣的建议......”)

为了讨好来访的上司,法尔科安排了各种娱乐活动,包括角斗士比赛、盛大的宴会(可能有烤火烈鸟)和一些公开处决。

但哈德良会被安抚下来,还是法尔科已经完蛋了?拭目以待。

另外,顺便说一句,铁娘子乐队里是不是有个叫阿德里安什么的人?我赌10英镑他也是个好人。

纳特伍德故事

Plus500向投资者大手笔回馈 美国市场扩张成效显著

交易平台Plus500在进军美国市场取得成效后,再次启动新一轮丰厚的股东回报。

这家FTSE 250金融科技公司上半年录得营收3428亿英镑,同比增长12%。

同时,衡量客户交易活动直接产生收入的客户收入飙升24%至3.41 亿英镑。

这一增长势头得益于集团在美国市场的快速扩张,重点拓展了传统场外交易(OTC)业务之外的领域,包括期货和实物股票交易。

非OTC业务收入同比增长30%至接近5180 万英镑,占集团总收入的15%。

Plus500表示,该业务部门有望实现年收入1.03 亿英镑。

该交易集团昨日宣布再次向投资者返还1.35 亿英镑,包括7400 万英镑m的股票回购和6200 万英镑m的股息。

自2013年首次公开募股(IPO)以来,公司已累计向股东返还总计£2.2bn的资本,相当于13年间股东总回报率高达12,000%。

这一惊人回报率使其成为富时全股指数(FTSE All-Share Index)同期表现最佳的股票。

上半年,集团推出了基于事件的预测合约,这是一种金融衍生品,用户为未来事件的“是”或“否”结果支付固定金额。

该服务主要针对美国重大体育赛事,包括橄榄球、篮球和棒球。

尽管收入大幅增长,但集团税前利润仅微升1%至1.39 亿英镑,反映出公司为吸引更高净值客户而增加了营销投入。

运营成本上升了五分之一至2.06 亿英镑,其中营销支出增加了1180 万英镑。Plus500首席执行官David Zrula表示,预计集团全年业绩将符合市场预期,营收为6.01 亿英镑,税前利润为2.7 亿英镑。

奢侈品百货“哈维尼克斯”求救

img-162.jpeg

收入下滑因消费者信心普遍减弱

奢侈品连锁Harvey Nichols的董事警告称,若无救援买家,公司将陷入破产管理。

这家被亲切称为“Harvey Nicks”的零售帝国正在进行一场备受瞩目的拍卖程序,吸引了高街巨头Next和Frasers的兴趣。Harvey Nichols的董事在一份提交给公司注册处(Companies House)的报告中表示:“集团已收到多份报价,并正积极推进一项或多项交易以达成协议。”

此前,集团公布截至2025年3月的年度收入下降10%至1848亿英镑,归咎于消费者信心减弱及游客消费下滑。

电动车强制令或将削减

政府6500 万英镑m投资推动电动汽车生产

尽管业界对电动汽车强制令存在反对声音,政府仍将投入6500 万英镑m用于生产零排放车辆的企业。

该资金包括5000 万英镑用于汽车企业及研究合作伙伴,以帮助扩大电动汽车生产规模。

商业和贸易部表示,这笔资金——将由汽车行业配套投入——将支持1,800个就业岗位。这是政府40亿英镑 Drive35计划的一部分,旨在加速英国汽车行业的电动化进程。工业部长Blair McDougall表示:“这项投资将确保技术岗位,巩固我们的制造业核心区域,并助力英国的再工业化。”

与此同时,有报道称,政府正考虑放宽2030年禁售新汽油和柴油车的目标,以减少排放并应对气候变化。

开放临时监狱以关押更多罪犯

继利奥·麦金斯特里关于建造更多监狱的文章之后,我建议利用闲置设施(《开始建造更多监狱……否则面临民愤!》,8月7日)。

我了解到有两处这样的地点,达特穆尔和多切斯特。这些设施可以在新监狱建造期间进行修复并投入使用。

这比将囚犯释放到社区中(他们可能会再次犯罪)更为妥当。

琳赛·琼斯, 波特兰,多塞特

从牢房中移除电视和水壶,增加床位

当你看到囚犯居住的牢房,里面有带电视和水壶的五斗橱时,在我看来,这更像是一个舒适的房间而非牢房。

移除这些物品,增加更多床位。

通过每次仅开放有限数量的牢房,并将用餐时间分为三批,可以管理囚犯人数增长。

英国的监狱不应成为度假营。

安妮·琼斯, 斯泰利布里奇,柴郡

致编辑的最佳来信

酒驾司机马尔科姆·韦特害死芬妮拉·谢泼德

杀人司机必须服满全刑

如今,我们不再有“永不在此基尔”,而是“逃跑安迪”。他绝非人民的领袖,我确信在伯纳姆的领导和爱国精神下,我们将面临一段滑坡期。

监狱系统正从一个危机陷入另一个危机,并模仿内政部的移民政策——进一个,出一个(《你们必须将杀害芬妮拉的凶手关在监狱》,8月10日)。

允许像马尔科姆·韦特这样的人因监狱危机而获释本身就令人愤慨,但还有多少其他惯犯会被假释并释放到街头?

保守党和工党都应为这一暴行负责,而伯纳姆却在度假炫耀,这表明我们需要一次大选。

彼得·拉斯顿, 乔利,兰开夏郡

警察遗孀终身承受痛苦,凶手也应终身服刑

杀害警员安德鲁·哈珀的两名凶手仅被判处13年监禁,这远远不够。他们应被终身监禁,因为他的遗孀正终身承受悲痛(《安迪,抬起头来,是哈珀警员的家人被逼到了极限》,8月8日)。

纳税人不应无限期地花费数千英镑来供养他们。司法系统需要改革,确保所有刑期都得到全额执行,终结提前释放的做法。

凯特·丹尼, 赖德,怀特岛

三名暴徒共同犯案,为何刑期不同?

政府发言人声称无法阻止杀害安德鲁·哈珀警员的两名凶手提前获释,因为他们被判过失杀人。

然而,第三名凶手——司机——同样被判同一罪名,却未获提前释放。这种不一致的做法毫无道理。

此类罪行的刑期应全额执行。

戴维·里克斯, 沃金厄姆,伯克郡

杀害警察者应判处死刑

任何在执行职务时杀害警察的人都应被判处极刑。

戴维·泰勒, 哈洛,埃塞克斯

英国应像西班牙一样驱逐移民

理查德与朱迪以及现任政府在非法移民问题上难以决定最佳前进方向(《耻辱的作秀政客》,8月8日)。

提出的建议包括在英吉利海峡动用海军、暂停捕鱼许可证、取消法律援助,以及将抵达者安置在受控军营直至遣返。

尽管领导层声称这一路径正在奏效,但小船数量表明情况并非如此。

如果其他国家能够通过后勤手段将移民遣返回原籍国,那么我们也必须考虑采取类似措施。

苏·基利克, 切普斯托,蒙茅斯郡

欧洲已安全,为何还要远渡重洋来英国?

我们必须质疑,为何要向那些已经在欧洲获得安全的人提供庇护。这些人很少被安置在富裕地区。

我们必须阻止这一涌入,并考虑削减福利或动用海军将船只护送回他们离开的安全海岸。

巴里·沃伦 兰开夏郡,伯里

法拉奇是唯一能改革并团结国家的领导人

奈杰尔·法拉奇和改革英国党(Reform UK)有望为国家摆脱衰退提供一条出路,这让人看到了希望。

当前国家需要的不是政治领导人之间的冲突。这些领导人非但不应争吵,更应携手合作,共同解决国家面临的问题。

如果他们热爱这个国家,就应携手努力,停止像争吵的孩子般行事。我们迫切需要的是常识。

西尔维娅·沃克 北安普敦郡,达文特里

炸鱼薯条完胜所有快餐对手

看到厨师汤姆·克里奇(Tom Kerridge)支持传统英国美食,并大力声援《每日快报》的“拯救炸鱼薯条运动”,为之注入强劲动力(“汤姆呼吁减免增值税以拯救炸鱼薯条”,8月8日),实在令人欣慰。

多年前,我和朋友同事在布莱克浦庆祝生日,度过一个“女孩之夜”。我们惊讶地发现,随处可见的都是烤肉串店,而传统炸鱼薯条店却难觅踪影。我们必须拯救炸鱼薯条——毕竟,这是英国的国粹。

57年前(1969年) 我们报道了洛杉矶警方搜捕好莱坞女演员莎朗·泰特(怀有身孕)及其四位朋友在其与丈夫、电影导演罗曼·波兰斯基共同居住的家中遇害的凶手。

这起谋杀案由查尔斯·曼森(Charles Manson)领导的邪教组织“曼森家族”实施,该组织还对洛杉矶地区的多起残暴杀戮负有责任。

42年前(1984年) 南非出生的英国运动员佐拉·巴德(Zola Budd)在洛杉矶奥运会女子3,000米决赛中与美国选手玛丽·德克尔(Mary Decker)发生碰撞。

事故导致德克尔退出比赛,并引发主场观众的敌对反应。赤脚参赛的巴德最终获得第七名。

27年前(1999年) 约3.5 亿人欧洲和亚洲民众目睹了日全食。英国仅锡利群岛和康沃尔地区经历了完全黑暗,但多云天气影响了观赏效果。甚至有渡轮在英吉利海峡中途(mid-Channie)停航,以便乘客观看。

理查德·汉农渴望看到才华横溢的幼马Pershaada一级赛酷摩尔城市(AT590)文索普锦标赛中能有何表现。

这匹由米德尔敦公园赛马公司拥有、父系为波斯之力的小母马上周被加入公园短途赛,数日前刚在光荣古德伍德赛马场三级赛莫尔科姆锦标赛中击败同龄马匹夺冠。

为应对在纳维米尔赛马场与年长马匹的艰巨挑战,Pershaada将仅负重八英石

汉农的父亲——老理查德曾训练出1992年的冠军Lyric Fantasy,这也是上世纪唯一一匹登上该赛事荣誉榜的两岁小母马。

“Pershaada在古德伍德的表现非常令人印象深刻,”小汉农(右图)表示,他的爱将将力争超越米德尔敦公园另一匹小母马The Platinum Queen2022年获得的亚军。

“也许有人会认为她赢得轻松,但那可是三级赛,仍需付出相当努力。”

Lyric Fantasy之后,Kingsgate Native(2007年)是唯一一匹从最年轻组别夺得最高荣誉的马匹,去年Lady Iman(第14名)和Spicy Marg(第17名)是最新参赛代表。

“Lyric Fantasy速度非常快,”

媒体看好赌客利好消息

莫尼希媒体(7 / 15)及其子哈拉潘德(Harrapand)有望在诺丁汉的金支票免费投注让磅赛中取悦观众。这匹曾在美洲(Americe)名下的母马已在这类赛事中找到自身定位,拥有英国赛马管理局(BHA)60的官方评分。在6月输给汉西恩(Hantheon)后——后者是伍尔弗汉普顿的未获胜马——这匹在此后赢过1次的母马,莫尼希媒体在8天后于西米德兰兹赛道首次获胜。此后,她在18天前的切普斯托赛事中以一个半化郎的劣势屈居第二,但表现出色,最终不敌表现同样出色的格伦森路(Grunson Road),后者此后再次获胜。希望升起(6, 45, mb)需在金支票见习骑师让磅赛中摆脱近期林菲尔德赛事因丝绸惩罚带来的影响,而激情唤醒(3, 15, trs)则可发挥其在赛道和距离上的有利经验。在卡特尔与国家赛事中表现良好。敲定者BING 2026 EBF 雌马新手锦标赛

莫因的教练派对

充满吸引力

莫因拥有丰富的经验,正在努力成为一名顶级教练

“很多教练都采取放手不管的方式,但球员有时喜欢被指导,而现在他们得到的指导还不够”

前英格兰明星计划有朝一日带领国家队走向辉煌

作者:罗里·多拉德 穆因·阿里 渴望在明年进入英格兰教练体系,努力实现其“终极梦想”——执教国家队。

这位全能球员于2024年从国际板球赛场退役,今年2月曾作为安德鲁·弗林托夫幕后团队的一员,担任英格兰雄狮队(England Lions)的导师,在阿拉伯联合酋长国工作。

尽管已年满39岁,他在国内赛场仍然炙手可热,今夏代表约克郡参加Vitality Blast联赛,并为南部勇士队(Southern Brave)出战百球赛(The Hundred),但他已开始规划下一阶段的职业生涯。

新西兰人斯蒂芬·弗莱明接替同胞布兰登·麦卡勒姆执掌英格兰测试队的决定,再次将英格兰本土教练人选不足的问题推上风口浪尖。

英格兰板球管理总监罗布·基(下图)承认本土教练培养进度缓慢,并承诺未来将为英格兰教练提供更多机会。

而穆因——这位拥有298场国际比赛经验、两夺世界杯冠军的三种赛制国际球员——正是一位积极的候选人。

“经常有人问我是否愿意参与雄狮队的工作,但由于我还在打球,一直比较困难。我想明年我会有更多时间来做这件事,”他说,“今年冬天之后,我会有更多空闲时间执教。无论是雄狮队、U19队,还是他们需要的任何岗位,我都非常期待。”

“我想积累经验,作为教练付出努力。”

穆因曾成为首位在T20板球赛中担任英格兰队长的英籍亚裔球员,他此前曾表示希望在英格兰生涯后开启第二篇章,并毫不掩饰自己对高目标的追求。

“当然,执教英格兰队是终极梦想,但我知道在此之前还有很多工作要做,”他说。

“当你还是一名年轻球员,学习参加郡级板球比赛时,梦想是为英格兰队效力,执教也是同样的道理。”

尽管穆因以华丽的击球和进攻性的旋转球闻名,但他的执教理念首先强调对基础的扎实掌握,而这一点在近年来的顶级赛场上有时被忽视。

“尤其是英格兰的击球手,我们可能会暴露出很大问题——经常被击中三柱门,或者被判lbw(腿截球出局),”他说,“关键在于教练技术,而非其他。我看到很多教练采取放手不管的方式,只要球员开心就好。但球员有时喜欢被指导,而现在他们得到的指导还不够。”

田径:欧洲锦标赛

-202.

马克斯有望在800米项目中夺冠

保罗·马丁(Paul Martin)报道 马克斯·伯金(Max Burgin)希望已摆脱曾毁掉其英联邦运动会机会的病毒,目标在伯明翰的欧洲锦标赛上夺取荣耀。

这位24岁的选手在亚历山大体育场开赛首日上午赢得男子800米预赛,以1:45.80的成绩晋级明晚的半决赛。

伯金在格拉斯哥同一阶段被淘汰,但如今感觉状态更佳,期待命运的转机。

“来到这里时我并不确定会发生什么,”他说。

“过去一周感觉相当糟糕,几乎没怎么跑步。偶尔跑几下也没什么信心。

“但周末的赛前热身跑感觉不错,我自己也感觉好些了。

“比赛进展顺利,我对自己的状态很满意——很高兴知道自己仍有冲刺能力,因为平时很少用到。

“这是一次很好的热身,我期待半决赛。”

伯金上周二恢复训练后,却在两天后穿钉鞋进行的首次训练中表现糟糕。

但顺利通过本周首场比赛后,这位奥运会决赛选手认为自己还有潜力可挖,有望成为自1990年以来首位夺得欧洲男子800米冠军的英国选手。

“还没有生病,这总是个好迹象,说明我还有余力,”他补充道,“我对本周余下的比赛抱有希望。”

本·帕特森(Ben Patterson)曾在2022年英联邦运动会上于同一赛道赢得突破性铜牌,此次也成功晋级,但亚历克斯·博特里尔(Alex Botterill)未能晋级。

雅各布·英厄布里格森遭遇伤病困扰

保罗·马丁 伯明翰报道 雅各布·英厄布里格森以惊人的冲刺表现在伯明翰成功卫冕5,000米欧洲冠军。

这位挪威超级巨星在2026年首次参赛,此前刚刚接受了跟腱手术,但他在最后直道上的强势冲刺几乎没有显露出任何生疏迹象,延续了在这一赛事中的不败纪录。

他的第四个连续5,000米金牌使其超越了莫·法拉爵士在此距离上的成绩,也标志着这位25岁选手斩获的第七枚欧洲金牌。

“两周前当我报名时,我梦想着这一刻,并祈祷自己能有更好的状态,”他说,“我非常开心。”

“我不认为去年的比赛是真正的竞赛,我还很年轻,所以希望未来多年还能继续参赛。”

这位挪威明星并不回避聚光灯,但抵达伯明翰时,外界对其竞技状态和身体状况充满疑问,怀疑其他选手是否已经在他缺席期间取得了进步。

英厄布里格森自2012年9月东京世锦赛同距离决赛以第10名完赛后,便未再参加过正式比赛。

比赛初期,他一直处于队伍后方,直到还剩三圈半时才发起进攻,轻松穿越人群。在剩余1,200米时,他与另一位领跑者、世界10,000米冠军吉米·格雷西耶并肩而行,后者被视为挑战英厄布里格森王座的有力竞争者之一。

然而,当这位挪威选手加速时,其他人却无力回应。

最后一个弯道时,领先集团几乎难分伯仲,但英厄布里格森展现出惊人的速度优势,率先冲过终点线,并继续冲刺庆祝,以13分15.29秒的成绩赢得比赛,令现场观众目瞪口呆。

这场比赛为开幕之夜注入了活力,并有望成为本周最精彩的赛事之一。如果有人需要提醒英厄布里格森在离开赛场11个月后依然拥有主角光环,这场比赛无疑是最有力的证明。

德国选手弗洛里安·布雷姆获得银牌,法国选手艾蒂安·达吉诺斯摘得铜牌。

英国唯一参赛选手詹姆斯·韦斯特以13分24.63秒的成绩获得第12名。

这位两届全国冠军在比赛初期曾处于领先位置,但随着强手发力,逐渐落后。

此外,本届赛事的首枚金牌由荷兰队获得,她们在女子铅球项目中包揽前两名,杰西卡·席尔德完成欧洲三连冠,约琳德·范克林肯紧随其后。

赫德森-史密斯瞄准冠军

米莉·麦克沃伊 报道 马特·赫德森-史密斯将欧洲锦标赛称为“我的伦敦2012”,他即将为家乡观众带来精彩表现。

这位400米巨星的田径生涯始于伯明翰亚历山大体育场的伯奇菲尔德竞技俱乐部,本周该体育场的一座看台以他的名字命名。

这位31岁的世界和奥运银牌得主直接晋级半决赛,并将于今晚参赛。

他说:“很少有人能在自己20年的主场跑道上比赛。这对我来说就是我的伦敦2012。”

“2012年当美国队来这里时,我和朋友们偷偷溜进来观看。我们本不该在这里,但我们熟悉进场路线,不过我不会透露,以免惹上麻烦!”

“我在这里长大,这里是我的家,能看到这一切真是太棒了。20年了,这感觉难以置信。”

查理·多布森也将参加400米比赛,本·杰弗里斯则是英国队的第三位选手。

内布·斯奎尔斯独家报道

马库斯·拉什福德面临心理挑战,需克服重返曼联的“创伤后应激”——但迈克尔·卡里克是帮助他的理想人选。

上赛季英格兰边锋租借加盟巴塞罗那时,外界以为他已为该俱乐部踢完最后一场比赛。

他与时任主帅鲁本·阿莫林的关系破裂,球衣号码已转交给马特乌斯·库尼亚,曼联似乎也在不带他继续前行。

但巴塞罗那决定不永久签下拉什福德,使这位28岁的球员回到青训出身的俱乐部,并有机会在周六对阵阿莫林执教的AC米兰的友谊赛中出场,比赛地点在弗罗茨瓦夫。

在卡里克将他列入爱尔兰之行的球队名单后,他有望在明天对阵利兹的比赛中登场。

“他的回归可能涉及一些创伤后应激,”运动心理教练唐·麦克弗森(著有《如何驾驭你的猴子思维》)表示。

“他在青训时期与曼联的‘蜜月期’已被一脚踢开,但这种关系是可以修复的。

“这里有一座需要重建的心理桥梁,在他离开时这座桥被炸毁了,但没有人比卡里克更适合帮助马库斯重建它。

“卡里克曾在他曼联首秀时与他并肩作战,了解他的性格,知道如何激励他。如果有人能重建他的信心并让他重新上场,那就是卡里克。”

拉什福德在巴塞罗那的赛季贡献了14个进球和14次助攻,还赢得了西甲冠军奖牌。

但巴塞罗那俱乐部决定不激活2600 万英镑m的买断条款,转而从纽卡斯尔签下安东尼·戈登,从多特蒙德签下卡里姆·阿德耶米,这意味着他回到了一个与离开时截然不同的老特拉福德。

拉什福德——曼联历史射手榜第1位,共打入138球——曾在路易斯·范加尔手下与卡里克并肩作战。

卡里克后来加入曼联教练组,并在2021年奥勒·居纳尔·索尔斯克亚被解雇后首次担任看守主帅时执教过拉什福德三场比赛。

麦克弗森说:“他回归时会感到有些沮丧。没人喜欢被拒绝,巴塞罗那确实抛弃了他——这是事实。他脑海中的声音可能在说‘没人爱我’。”

“他看起来像是个闷闷不乐的家伙,有时在球场上的肢体语言也反映了这一点。

“他似乎是那种需要有人给他一个拥抱的球员。但卡里克正是能做到这一点并帮他调整心态的人。

“如果马库斯能回到俱乐部并重燃爱火,以28.的年龄他仍有很多东西可以贡献。如果他能调整好心态,他可以成为曼联的重要资产。他能进球,还能威慑防守。”

欧足联加大对因凡蒂诺的施压

来自封底报道:欧足联威胁抵制国际足联赛事,并已与亚足联(AFC)和中北美及加勒比海足联(CONCACAF)展开初步讨论,协调各自赛事,以确保球员有机会参赛。

因凡蒂诺就其提议成立“国际足联理事会企业”(FFE)一事道歉。该公司将负责国际足联赛事的商业和运营事务,并计划向私人投资者出售约40%的股份。

但欧足联、亚足联和中北美及加勒比海足联领导人联合签署的公开信敦促国际足联对因凡蒂诺的计划进行独立审查。

信中写道:“足球领导权不是一种占有,也不是对权力的持有或要求。”

“当信任因欺骗而破裂,当个人将自身置于授予其权威的集体之上时,这种责任便已被抛弃。一项在压缩时间表内推进、未经实质性磋商、并在成员协会能够充分审查其条款前强行设定截止日期的提案,不是监管疏忽的产物——而是旨在限制审查的设计产物。”

“至今仍未承认试图出售国际足联世界杯股份是判断力的严重失误——这不仅仅是程序上的失误,更是对国际足联本应服务的机构的根本性背叛。”

“国际足联还承诺将就这些事件向国际足联理事会提交一份完整报告,但再次未能认识到,在面对如此严重的判断失误时,适当的治理应要求由完全独立的第三方而非国际足联自身、其工作人员或足球界任何利益相关方进行审查。国际足联行政部门不应在审查中发挥任何作用。”

贝佐斯入股利物浦

来自封底报道:有关贝佐斯收购利物浦“重要少数股权”的谈判正在进行,据悉已接近达成协议,这可能成为足球界最大的交易之一。

现年62岁的贝佐斯被美国财经杂志《福布斯》列为全球第三富豪,估计身家达£20750。若交易达成,他将与Facebook联合创始人、巴西商人爱德华多·萨韦林(Eduardo Saverin)共同作为投资者参与。

利物浦昨日完成了从巴塞罗那租借乌拉圭中卫罗纳德·阿劳霍(27岁)的签约,为期一个赛季。

该交易包含明年夏天以约4700 万英镑百万的价格买断这名乌拉圭中卫(见插图)的选项。阿劳霍将身披33号球衣,他表示:“我迫不及待想要开始,非常非常开心。”

马里纳基斯的野心与格拉泽的森林之火

作者:莎拉·克拉普森 当奥利弗·格拉泽今年夏天考虑下一步时,有两件事让他最终选择了诺丁汉森林。

这位奥地利教练在水晶宫度过了具有历史意义的几个赛季,带领老鹰队赢得了俱乐部首个足总杯、社区盾杯,并在5月赢得了欧洲协会联赛的冠军。

对于一位习惯于在欧洲赛场竞争的教练来说,转投一家无法提供欧洲赛事的俱乐部并非显而易见的选择。

格拉泽是一个雄心勃勃的人,而在埃万杰洛斯·马里纳基斯身上,他找到了志同道合的人。

最初,他并未将搬迁至城市球场视为一个潜在选项,但两人在马里纳基斯的家乡希腊共进的晚餐最终促成了格拉泽的决定。

在森林队的老板身上,他找到了一个与自己同样充满干劲的人。

“说真的,就是在雅典见到马里纳基斯先生的时候,”格拉泽谈到接受这份工作的决定时说道。

“我对他说,‘坦白说,’”

吸引力 格拉泽欣赏马里纳基斯的野心

“我并没有考虑过诺丁汉森林。你们没有欧洲赛事,而我习惯于参加欧洲赛事,也喜欢参加欧洲赛事。

“但我说有两个原因让我改变了主意。

“第一,球队实际上有更大的潜力。第二,就是你(马里纳基斯),是你的野心——因为我非常有野心,我每年都想进步。我从不满足。这最终触动了我。”

森林队不希望在上赛季以第16名结束后再次陷入保级苦战。目标是在常规赛季中竞争欧洲赛事,继上赛季打入欧联杯半决赛后。

格拉泽表示:“对于森林队来说,这是他们在英超的第五个赛季。俱乐部在过去四年中发展良好。去年非常非常艰难——我无法评判原因,也不想评判——可能是因为在前一年结束时排名第七后,外界的期望过高。

“我对他说(马里纳基斯)以及对所有人——我是诚实的——我们的目标不应该只是打一次欧洲赛事。我们不想成为昙花一现的球队。”

在格拉泽手下,森林队拥有一位尽量避免阅读他人对自己的评论——尤其是社交媒体上的评论——的主教练。

“如果你读到很多关于自己的负面评论,这会影响你,”他说道。“如果你一直看到这些——对球员来说也是一样——你会失去信心,或者可能会认为,这是真的,我又失败了。

“对于每一位伟大的运动员来说,没有失败就没有成功。如果你在某件事上失败或跌倒,这是生活的一部分。这就是为什么我不理解为什么会有那么多人似乎乐于在别人已经倒下时再踢上一脚。

“对我来说,情况完全相反。如果有人心情不好,我会尽力对他做些好事,让他感觉好些。我对球员们说——我想他们已经听过两三次了——我们都在实现童年的梦想。”

这也是格拉泽从未忘记自己根源的原因。他最好的朋友仍然是他在比道村一起长大的人。

他说道:“在成长过程中,我妈妈是单亲妈妈,我们并不富裕,但我拥有所需的一切。我有一个很棒的家庭。我有很棒的朋友,我们总是有食物吃,我拥有一切。

“现在,是的,我身处这个庞大的世界,但我永远不会忘记自己的根。我知道,我并不比俱乐部里的任何一个人更优秀,仅仅因为我是英超主教练。我尊重俱乐部里的每一个人。

“我仍然觉得自己是比道村的小孩。我会去看我儿子在那里踢足球,我最好的朋友仍然是我青少年时期的朋友——他们将永远是我的朋友。”

埃万杰洛斯起诉水晶宫

作者:达伦·韦尔斯

诺丁汉森林俱乐部老板埃万杰洛斯·马里纳基斯正在起诉水晶宫,原因是一条描绘他用枪指着摩根·吉布斯-怀特头部的横幅。

马里纳基斯已就这条横幅向高等法院提起诽谤诉讼,该横幅由水晶宫球迷在去年8月24日两队在塞尔赫斯特公园球场的比赛期间展开。

这条横幅与森林队长吉布斯-怀特突然反悔拒绝转会托特纳姆热刺并签署新合同的事件有关。

横幅上还写着:“马里纳基斯先生不涉及敲诈、假球、贩毒或腐败。”

马里纳基斯从未被指控犯有上述任何罪行,并一贯否认任何不当行为。

伤病赛季后韦特结束

作者:乔·托马斯 埃弗顿的贾拉德·布兰斯韦特迫不及待地想要在经历了一个伤病缠身的赛季后继续前进。

连续的腘绳肌问题主导了一个本应让他进入英格兰世界杯阵容的赛季。

这位后卫承认:“我现在感觉很好。进入季前训练后,经过上个赛季,我主要是管理我的负荷,管理我的出场时间。

“现在,这让我在赛季开始时处于最佳状态。”

布兰斯韦特在4月默西塞德德比期间曾担心最坏的情况,当时他被担架抬出安菲尔德球场,另一次漫长的挫折阴影笼罩着他。

此前,他在赛季前夕的腘绳肌受伤导致他缺席了大部分赛季。几周后的复发导致他接受手术,并延长了他的康复时间。

他在1月下旬的回归预示着状态的提升,并帮助埃弗顿闯入欧洲赛事。

这位2-0岁的球员是那波反弹的基石,亮点包括他在3-2战胜纽卡斯尔的比赛中进球,以及在3-0大胜切尔西的比赛中发挥的作用。

但欧洲之梦随着布兰斯韦特在与利物浦比赛下半场后期拉伤而破灭,这次受伤的是同一根在圣诞节前接受过手术的腘绳肌。

埃弗顿未能克服这一损失,或他的缺阵,那场德比是七场不胜比赛中的第二场,导致太妃糖跌入积分榜下半区。

布兰斯韦特说:“作为球员,无法帮助队友是最糟糕的处境。

“这个赛季直到后期都非常积极。无法在整个赛季,尤其是在年底帮助他们,这很艰难。”

整个赛季对这位被誉为埃弗顿复兴基石的球员来说是一个挑战,去年夏天他刚刚签署了新合同。

他补充道:“特别是上个赛季是非常艰难的赛季。

“周一,心情不好,相当阴暗,尤其是在利物浦比赛之后。

“在努力恢复后经历这些真的很难接受。

“但我必须把这些放在过去——伤病是比赛的一部分。”

布兰斯韦特康复的一个重要部分旨在增强他的韧性,以保护他免受反复受伤的困扰。

这包括在慕尼黑的同一家诊所寻求帮助,多米尼克·卡尔弗特-勒温在埃弗顿受伤期间也曾前往那里。

布兰斯韦特补充道:“我现在感觉很好,关键是要比过去更好地管理我的负荷。

“管理负荷和照顾好自己可能是我需要做的。”

交易是德怀特的结果

作者:瑞安·泰勒

埃弗顿和水晶宫已就德怀特·麦克尼尔与布伦南·约翰逊的直接交换达成协议。

两名球员昨日均已完成体检,并正在敲定为期四年的初始合同个人条款。

麦克尼尔与太妃糖的现有合同仅剩最后一年,在2020年2月转会截止日前他曾接近签约水晶宫,但交易最终告吹。

约翰逊将在最初拒绝埃弗顿七个月后转投默西塞德。

大卫·莫耶斯(上图)在2025年底与这位威尔士球员进行了深入会谈,为其告别热刺做准备,但约翰逊选择在1月加盟奥利弗·格拉泽纳,而仅仅两周后,这位老鹰主帅便确认了他的离开。

与此同时,水晶宫正密切关注来自圣吉罗斯联盟的21岁边翼卫阿南·卡拉利和22岁的摩纳哥中场拉明·卡马拉。


他是范德文

作者:西蒙·卡斯

米基·范德文表示,在与热刺签订新的五年合同后,他“对未来充满期待”。

这位荷兰中卫表示:“签下新合同是一个特殊的时刻,对我和我的家人来说都是值得骄傲的时刻。

“从我第一天踏入这里开始,我就一直热爱热刺。俱乐部前进的方向非常明确,而我想成为其中的一部分。”

主帅罗伯托·德泽尔比称赞范德文是“欧洲最佳中卫之一”,并补充道:“我们正在这里打造强大的未来,像米基这样的球员是其中的重要组成部分。

“他决定签下新合同,表明了他对我们共同创造的未来的信心。”


作者:西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基

佩普·瓜迪奥拉在曼城的影响力如此之大,以至于当他不在时,一些工作人员甚至不敢把车停在他专用的车位上。

但瓜迪奥拉的前助理教练恩佐·马雷斯卡已经将他前老板的办公室改造成了会议室。

凭借高水平的职业生涯、自身的执教履历以及与瓜迪奥拉超越工作关系的友谊,马雷斯卡对自己的能力充满信心,面对未来的挑战毫不畏惧。

然而,在英格兰足球界,接替传奇主帅的警示故事已经够多了,他接手的球队几乎失去了所有赢得三冠王的球员。

不过,正如办公空间一样,马雷斯卡希望利用前人的成果来塑造自己的愿景。

“我们失去了贝尔纳多(·席尔瓦)、内森(·阿克)和约翰(·斯通斯),”马雷斯卡说道。

“但球队总会有代际更替。

“我仍然记得大卫·席尔瓦在这里时的情景……所有人都在担心(他离开后),但凯文(·德布劳内)来了,费尔南迪尼奥离开了,罗德里(·埃尔南德斯)加入。然后库恩(·阿圭罗)走了,埃尔林(·哈兰德)来了。变化是正常的。

“我知道,在10场比赛后,如果我们拿到10分、20分或30分,人们会将其与瓜迪奥拉执教10场后的表现进行比较。

“这不会给我带来压力。我曾多次说过,在莱斯特城或切尔西时,他是过去15或20年里世界上最好的主教练。

“有人问我,接替他是否是一项不可能完成的任务。也许吧,但同时这也是一种荣幸。”

马雷斯卡能够向瓜迪奥拉寻求帮助,因为两人是朋友。

自从这位意大利人在2020-21赛季担任曼城U23主帅以来,两人关系一直很亲密。

瓜迪奥拉今年夏天在巴塞罗那接待了他,详细介绍了俱乐部的运作方式以及每位球员的特点。

马雷斯卡感谢了这位朋友,但仍希望形成自己的看法,而瓜迪奥拉也告诉他不必担心得出不同的结论。

在亚洲艰难的两周里,一些事情显然需要采取新的方法——

任重道远 恩佐·马雷斯卡首次以曼城主帅身份接受深度采访

给予一席之地

马雷斯卡上任以来首次接受重大采访,畅谈心声

“他是世界上最好的主教练,但接替瓜迪奥拉并未让我感到压力”

“你需要适应,变化在那里是正常的,我没有感到巨大压力”

“这是一份不可能完成的工作吗?也许吧。但能追随他,是一种荣幸”

无论大小——都能让人们站在自己这边。

马雷斯卡在镜头之外很风趣,喜欢拿最亲近的人开玩笑。

长期助理丹尼·沃克被调侃为团队中唯一的英格兰人——“我们去吃早餐,他点烤豆吐司;去吃晚餐,他喝啤酒。”

但这位主教练也乐于自嘲,同时展示自己会竭尽全力

让他们看起来尽可能出色。

这包括一种新的压迫打法,边锋前推逼抢中后卫,边后卫则负责盯防对位球员。边路球员将获得更多自由和责任。

安托万·塞梅尼的长传手法将被封存,尽管在马雷斯卡执教伯恩茅斯的最后一场斯坦福桥比赛中,这一招曾帮助球队攻破切尔西大门两次。而曼城也不会跟风采用定位球战术。

相反,这位教练今年休假期间花时间分析了顶级球队如何应对

当下许多球队普遍采用的人盯人战术。

“你需要稍作调整,”马雷斯卡表示,“上赛季纽卡斯尔对阵巴塞罗那时7-2,亚特兰大对拜仁慕尼黑6-1;切尔西尝试人盯人对阵巴黎圣日耳曼,结果被对手摧毁(总比分8-2, 2)。

“我不知道球队还能人盯人多久。你需要球员在被盯防的情况下创造以多打少的局面。

“你不会说努诺·门德斯、(阿什拉夫)哈基米、(德西雷)杜埃或(布拉德利)巴尔科拉是怪兽,但他们都是优秀的

“我知道,在10场比赛后,如果我们拿到10分、20分或30分,人们会将其与瓜迪奥拉时代进行比较”

因为他们能够突破对手防守,并自由带球。

“这也是我认为巴黎圣日耳曼在过去两三年里表现最出色的原因,因为他们拥有能够突破对手防守的球员。”

当然,拥有如此清晰的愿景并不意味着一切都会奏效。

马雷斯卡的表现仍需时间来评判,而与瓜迪奥拉的比较压力将始终存在。

但在曼城眼中,马雷斯卡是完美的匹配。如果给予他良好的发展条件,他被视为能再次将球队打造成冠军机器的教练。

新办公室,新一代,新时代。

埃尔林的乌龙球

西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基 撰

埃尔林·哈兰德被授予曼彻斯特城队长袖标的可能性看起来微乎其微——因为他进球太多了。

哈兰德(右)在2025年1月签下新合同后加入了球队的领导层,承诺将为俱乐部效力近十年。

这位26岁的球员在过去一个赛季中成长为一名领袖,也是目前球队中仅有的几名三年前赢得三冠王时的成员之一。

但新任主教练恩佐·马雷斯卡有一个战术暂停的规则,即在进球后队长必须回到替补席接受指示,而不能庆祝。这对哈兰德来说将是个问题,因为这位前锋经常在进球后庆祝。

马雷斯卡说:“在莱斯特城和切尔西时,我有一个规则,即当我们进球时,队长必须回到替补席接受指示,而不是庆祝。

“如果哈兰德是队长,我们会有麻烦。你能想象吗?”

只是友谊赛?

你在开玩笑吧

作者:瑞安·泰勒

维克托·吉奥克雷斯坚称

阿森纳希望在社区盾杯赛中向曼城发出强烈信号。

这位瑞典前锋在枪手3-2不敌多特蒙德的酋长杯比赛中罚入下半场点球,他并不认为周日在加的夫的重磅对决是一场表演赛。

相反,他希望阿森纳证明自己为何是英超冠军。

“面对曼城?只是友谊赛?”吉奥克雷斯说道,“我不知道其他人怎么想,但我们肯定想赢下这场比赛。

“当你赢得冠军时,你会获得信心,一切随之而来的都会带来提升。

“所以,是的,这只会带来积极的影响。”

阿森纳的所有世界杯球星——除了因伤缺阵的威廉·萨利巴——目前都已恢复训练,这对米克尔·阿尔特塔来说是一大利好。

但本周回归球队的不仅仅是他们,还有重磅签约的埃蒂哈德球场新援布鲁诺·吉马良斯,他也已准备好在球队中树立权威。

吉奥克雷斯很期待与这位全能的巴西动力球员并肩作战,他说:“他是一名极其出色的球员,我认为他会为球队带来很多能量和特质。”

吉马良斯的加盟,夹杂在输给皇家贝蒂斯和多特蒙德的友谊赛之间,提振了受伤的球迷群体。

在过去2场比赛中各丢3球后,球队在8月21日主场迎战吉奥克雷斯前东家考文垂的赛季揭幕战前,仍有许多需要改进的地方。

这位26岁的球员渴望以火爆的开局开启新赛季。

他说:“你可以从无数角度思考(以卫冕冠军身份开启赛季)。

“我不知道是否会更艰难,但赢得联赛始终是巨大的挑战——即使你上赛季赢得了冠军,依然如此。

“这是世界上最好的联赛,25支球队状态极佳,拥有非常出色的球员。我们上赛季赢了,本赛季也会努力卫冕。”

当被问及在主教练眼中是否看到了同样的饥饿感时,吉奥克雷斯的回答很简单:“更饥饿。”

马丁内利遭罗马追逐 那不勒斯盯上热苏斯

作者:瑞安·泰勒

罗马成为最新一家对阿森纳边锋加布里埃尔·马丁内利表现出兴趣的俱乐部。

这位巴西球员在周日枪手3-2不敌多特蒙德的友谊赛中替补出场。

这家意甲俱乐部已与他的经纪人进行了初步接触,但他的薪水——加上转会费——可能成为障碍。

土耳其豪门加拉塔萨雷也在关注,但他们一直试图从AC米兰引进拉斐尔·莱昂。

阿森纳不会在没有确保顶级替代者的情况下出售马丁内利(右),且他们的估值——约4500 万英镑——必须得到满足。

英超冠军曾在世界杯上观察法国边锋布拉德利·巴尔科拉,但更倾向于签下摩根·罗杰斯,如今又被巴黎圣日耳曼1.45 亿英镑的报价吓退。

利物浦也被认为是巴尔科拉心仪的首选目的地。

与此同时,那不勒斯有望为加布里埃尔·热苏斯报价——

由于合同仅剩最后一年,他的身价现已降至2000 万英镑——前提是他们能出售罗梅卢·卢卡库,后者受到费内巴切和亚特兰大联的青睐。

BY JONATHAN WALKER Whitehall Editor

THE Conservatives have demanded Andy Burnham scraps an "idiotic" ban on petrol cars.

It comes as the government prepares to launch a consultation on whether to water down the controversial policy.

The Department for Transport is to consider changes to the planned ban, which was to have outlawed the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.

It would be followed by a block on new hybrid vehicles from 2035.

Vehicle manufacturers say the policy threatens jobs in a sector employing 156,000 people because customers remain reluctant to switch to electric.

Ministers are unlikely to scrap the ban entirely, but may rethink rules – known as the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate – which already require car-makers to ensure at least a third of new cars and vans are EVs. There are fines for firms that fail to comply.

Discounts

Shadow Transport Secretary Richard Holden said: "Andy Burnham could have broken with Ed Miliband's disastrous net-zero obsession by taking on the Conservatives' detailed plan for drivers, including abolishing the ZEV mandate, saving the British car industry and its supply chain from extinction.

"Instead, Labour are ploughing on with a policy that car makers publicly and privately labelled existential."

Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith added: "Despite UK car making being at a 70-year low, ministers insist on an idiotic 2030 ban on combustion engines whilst forcing British car makers to pay billions subsidising Chinese EV competitors."

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has warned MPs carmakers are forced to offer customers huge discounts in order to sell electric cars.

Mike Hawes, the trade body's CEO, said: "The result is billions being spent on discounts, finance incentives and marketing support to stimulate demand beyond its natural level. This

is not a sustainable business model. Urgent reform of the mandate is needed, alongside renewed commitment from all stakeholders to build consumer confidence."

The SMMT also pleaded for more public charging points to be built.

Labour has said firms producing zero-emission vehicles will receive £65million, matched with funding from the industry, to help them produce EVs at greater scale.

A government spokesperson said: "We are committed to the 2030 phase-

out date for new petrol and diesel cars. The ZEV mandate is backed by £7.5bn to grow the market, boost EV manufacturing, increase sales and build up the UK charging network.

"EV sales have surged almost 45% compared with July last year, and we've helped over 150,000 drivers to buy through our Electric Car Grant.

"We've always said we'll review the mandate to support British industry and investment. Further details will be published in due course."

DUCHESS JOINS VETERANS ON SLOPES

While Britain bakes, Sophie plays it cool...

img-9.jpeg

img-10.jpeg

BY EMILY FERGUSON Royal Editor

SNOW Princess Sophie melted hearts at an indoor ski slope as Britain bakes under the fifth heatwave of the summer.

The Duchess of Edinburgh wrapped up warm in a bright blue puffer jacket, white tracksuit bottoms and thick ski gloves for her visit to the Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead, Herts.

The trip was to mark her being named royal patron of the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team.

But instead of just chilling out with the athletes, Sophie wore goggles to showcase her own ski skills, speeding down the piste.

The 61-year-old then left her mark on spectators, impressing in target practice with a laser rifle.

It provides perfect conditions for ski and snowboard training for the team's athletes.

AFPST supports wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and veterans through adaptive skiing, snowboarding and Nordic disciplines. Project Vidda – one of its flagship initiatives for the year – will see a team of amputee veterans undertake an Arctic expe-

dition. The adventurers plan to cross the Norwegian Vidda plateau unsupported. Among those joining the duchess on the slopes was snowboarder Darren Swift. The ex-Green Jacket lost his legs when a bomb exploded in Belfast in 1991. He took up the sport after attending an AFPST newcomers' day.

Elizabeth Winfield, AFPST's chief operations officer, welcomed Sophie and introduced her to the charity's programmes.

She said after the visit: "The duchess's patronage marks a defining moment in AFPST's journey. It strengthens our ability to grow, to reach more veterans and to deliver the life-changing programmes that sit at the heart of our charity.

"Having Her Royal Highness meet our athletes first-hand brings powerful visibility to their resilience and achievements and reinforces why projects like Vidda are so vital."

Sophie and the rest of Britain may be longing for a spell in the snow as relief from the current heatwave.

Temperatures for some are predicted to peak at around 36C on Thursday, the Met Office said.

Critics fear that without clear funding of Mr Burnham's spending pledges the only way to pay for them will be to raise taxes.

She writes in the Daily Express: "Labour came into power promising lower taxes.

IF Andy Burnham wants to ease the cost of living, he must not raise taxes.

He arrived in Westminster with a lot of big words and a few small announcements.

A bit of money off bus fares and bills might sound nice, but the real reason life is too hard for too many right now is because taxes are too high, and the weekly shop is too expensive.

The tax burden is the highest it's ever been. Conservative governments must share some of the blame for this, but they had the Covid furlough scheme to pay for.

is getting more and more dangerous. What they should be talking about is how they intend to cut government spending, cut welfare and make sure our armed forces get the support they need. Instead, they're talking about more taxes.

It all feels eerily familiar. Remember last summer? Then Chancellor Rachel Reeves wouldn't rule any tax rises in or out.

The speculation grew and the fear grew with it. We saw it then and we're seeing it again now. Confidence disappears before investment does.

An engineering firm delays ordering new machinery because it wants to see what happens to business taxes. A restaurant owner postpones taking on another member of staff because she fears another increase in employment costs.

An overseas investor comparing Britain with another country quietly decides that the alternative offers greater certainty.

Those decisions never appear in Treasury forecasts. There are no records of the jobs that weren't created or the investment that went

elsewhere. Yet, taken together, they determine whether an economy grows or stagnates.

This is what Burnham is doing to Britain right now and it needs to stop. There is an alternative – it's the Conservative Party's plan. We will start off by bringing down the welfare bill, ensuring there is a safety net for those who can't work, but making sure that those who can work, do.

We will use half those savings to pay down the country's deficit. And the other half to do things like ease taxes – cutting business rates for the high street and abolishing stamp duty for all family homes.

We'll return to common sense on energy – drilling our own oil and gas in the North Sea and scrapping the green taxes and levies that force up the cost of household bills.

And we'll properly champion business, ditching all of Labour's job-destroying trade union laws and cutting the regulation holding back growth.

This is how you revitalise an economy and ease the cost of living. With common sense measures to give people more of their own money to spend and businesses the confidence to invest and grow.

Andy Burnham must rule out any new taxes this autumn. The alternative is more hardship and fewer jobs.

"Andy Burnham already knows what he must do, as he heard it

HIKES UNDER BURNHAM

PM's high street rules 'will lead to new closures'

ANDY Burnham's high street red tape mission will lead to "more empty and boarded-up shops", critics warn.

The Prime Minister has declared: "We're giving local people a real say over what happens."

Councils will be able to refuse new betting shops if there are significant concerns, under Mr Burnham's plan.

And vape shops will require planning permission for the first time to prevent a further surge in the vendors on Britain's struggling high streets.

But critics warned that the Labour leader is just introducing more red tape.

Shadow Communities Secretary Sir James Cleverly said: "Everyone can see what has happened to our high streets, with once-treasured shops being replaced

by a smattering of rogue operators, many of which have links to organised crime and fraud. Labour's business rates hikes have hollowed out our high streets, driving out the shops people want and leaving empty units for whoever is left to fill.

"Unless the government takes steps to support the high streets and hard-working businesses, Labour's increases in planning regulation will just mean more empty and boarded-up shops".

James Cleverly said more regulation is damaging

Mr Burnham also last night revealed police and trading standards teams will be given more time to investigate firms suspected of organised crime gang links.

The maximum length of closure orders will be extended from six months to 12 months. The PM intends to scrap the so-called "aim to permit" rule, which limits the ability of local authorities to prevent betting shops and 24-hour slot machine venues opening in their area.

Planning permission will also be required for outlets selling e-cigarettes as part of efforts to give communities a greater say

under the proposals. The formal definition of a vape shop will be tightened to stop businesses sidestepping the new rules by claiming to be a "convenience store or a retailer", officials said.

Adult gaming centres offering up to 24 hours of access to slot and fruit machines will also require planning permission under the shake-up, expected to come into effect at the start of next year.

Under proposals first announced by Keir Starmer's government, police will also be able to shut down "dodgy" barbers, vape shops and nail salons for up to a year.

Officials said the government would also set clearer expectations for the design of shop fronts, to improve the appearance and pre-empt complaints about "garish neon signs" and "oversized logos."

for voters. An Ipsos poll last month found 30% listed the economy as a major worry and 22% cited inflation or prices specifically.

Mr Burnham did not rule out tax rises to pay to fix social care. He acknowledged they may be necessary but insisted Labour's mani-

festo commitments not to increase workers' income tax, national insurance or VAT rates would stay.

The Labour leader declined to rule out a "death tax" – potentially a 10% levy on all estates to fund his proposed National Care Service that could force millions more to

pay a fee on loved ones' estates. Under current tax rules, married couples can hand down £1million of assets tax-free to their children.

Social care is forecast to cost £39bn by the end of the decade. Speaking at a care home recently, the PM said "some of what we

want to do in the fuller sense will require difficult, difficult decisions", adding "we will be honest with people about those".

Labour said last night: "With Andy Burnham's leadership, the Labour government will finally confront the social care crisis

Westminster has ignored for decades, giving people dignity, security and support while easing pressure on the NHS. We won't fix this through politics as usual, but by focusing on problem solving rather than point scoring."

GROWING CHANNEL

Record 230 migrants

...so can we still call it

img-15.jpeg

THIS monster dinghy is the largest migrant boat ever detected crossing the Channel as it set a record for the number of asylum seekers crammed on a single vessel.

Smugglers packed a staggering 230 people on board the "mega-dinghy" and the breathtaking figure prompted fears there will soon "be thousands coming every single day".

The flimsy boat left France overnight, arriving in Dover in the early hours yesterday.

It led Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to warn of a "national security crisis" as dinghy sizes continue to increase.

He added that chaos in the Channel could soon mirror crossings in the Mediterranean, where criminal gangs use huge vessels.

And it follows an emergency last week, when 173 people had to be plucked from the sea after their dinghy caught fire.

Squashed

On photos of yesterday's oversized boat, migrants were seen dangling their feet in the water, squashed together on the 49ft craft.

It carried the same number of people as the maximum capacity of a Boeing 737 jet.

Smuggling gangs have now spread their deadly operation towards Dieppe in a bid to avoid police patrols in Calais, some 80 miles away, and Dunkirk.

And they are using larger dinghies than ever before to rake in record profits.

Mr Farage added: "A mega-dinghy is not a dinghy, is it? A boat carrying 230 people was taken into Dover docks at 2.30am this morning. That's a record. And we are rapidly

AN asylum seeker who raped a girl of 13 after he tricked her into meeting him has been jailed for nine-and-a-half years.

Police fear that he may have bombarded other girls online.

Khan, 28, used the name Abs and posted photos that did not show his face, to groom victims.

The girl still has flashbacks, distrusts people and no longer wants to wear her school uniform. She said she went home and messaged a friend: "I have been raped", then told her father.

The girl told police: "We were chatting for about a week. He was being really sexual and he manipulated me into sending nudes [photos] to him." Kevin

Jones, prosecuting, told Nottingham crown court Khan was linked to the rape by a DNA test after he was arrested over sending sexual images to a child.

His phone showed messages exchanged with the rape victim. He was convicted of rape, sexual communication with a child, meeting after grooming and perverting the course of justice.

He was also put on the sex offender register for life.

heading towards the Mediterranean - there will be thousands coming every single day. You can't smash the gangs.

"It's impossible. We can catch a gang leader, we can give him 20 years in prison, we can fine them millions of euros, it doesn't matter.

"The rewards are so great somebody else pops up. We've even got dinghies regularly leaving Dieppe, which is in Normandy.

"We're now looking at a stretch of coastline 130 miles long from which these boats can leave.

"There is only one way to stop this - if you get to the 12-mile line, the Royal Navy using

Border Force boats... to take them back to France. If we did that, within a couple of weeks there would be no more boats."

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: "This is now beyond a joke.

"The French authorities could easily have stopped a vessel this size from embarking in shallow waters. I recently saw for myself French gendarmes shamefully standing by and doing nothing while illegal immigrants boarded in knee-deep water.

The mega-dinghy was already carrying about 50 people when it was seen heading towards a beach to pick up more passengers, according to rescue crews in Berck-sur-Mer, 50 miles south of Calais.

'Predatory' refugee jailed for molesting two women

A SYRIAN refugee who sexually assaulted two women on nights out has been jailed for four years.

Muhammad Sheikhi, 23, molested the victims, both in their 20s, as they walked home alone in the early hours.

Both attacks were close to the hotel where he had been staying in Falkirk, Scotland.

Sentencing Sheikhi at Stirling sheriff court yesterday, Sheriff Keith O'Mahony told him: "These

tide and had to be rescued, a translated statement said. The crowded dinghy was described as "buckling under the swell" as it eventually headed towards the UK.

It was carrying 232 migrants until two asked for assistance and were taken to Calais.

Reckless

Rescuers' efforts "helped avert a tragedy", the statement added.

The number of asylum seekers on board smashed the previous record from July when 165 people crossed on a single craft.

A Home Office spokesperson said: "This

latest incident demonstrates the reckless and dangerous tactics employed by the criminal gangs facilitating these crossings, who continue to put lives at risk by cramming ever greater numbers of people on to unseaworthy vessels.

"We are making progress, with the number of small boat crossings down this year and the lowest number recorded for the month of July since 2020.

"But we must go further, which is why we have signed a payment-by-results deal with the French to put 40% more boots on the ground on French beaches."

Last Tuesday, the Daily Express became

the first UK news organisation to witness a British vessel – BSC Contender – bringing migrants back to France after their burning dinghy was detected in the Channel.

Some 173 people were rescued after the engine caught fire – apparently due to a fuel leak – sparking mass panic among the passengers. Those on board jumped into the water and the boat capsized.

After that incident, a maritime security source said: "Quite frankly, it's miraculous no one has died".

Officials said the boat had been so packed that five of those on board begged to be taken off two hours after it started its journey.

A French official added: "The rest told rescuers they wanted to continue, and this was permitted. Then, later in the morning, the engine caught fire."

But despite the drama – which saw 11 people suffer minor injuries – migrants are still attempting the Channel crossing.

On Saturday, some 258 arrived in the UK in four boats, according to the Home Office. Another 423 arrived in five boats on Sunday.

However, the number of overall arrivals for 2026 has dropped compared with last year. The provisional total for the year so far is 15,242 – 42% down on the same period last year and 14% lower than in 2024.

PC Harper's colleague: Labour is spitting in face of police officers

BY RICHARD ASHMORE

A POLICE officer who saw PC Andrew Harper dragged to his death has accused Labour of "spitting in the face" of officers with the early release of his friend's killers.

Chris Bushnell had a cup of tea with PC Harper on the day he died while responding to a quad bike theft in Sulhamstead, Berks, in August 2019.

Newlywed PC Harper, 28, was caught in a strap attached to a getaway car and dragged down a country road as three teenage suspects fled.

Mr Bushnell, then a constable in the dog section, was waiting in a lay-by for the suspects' vehicle when he saw it dragging Andrew's body behind.

Driver Henry Long was jailed for 16 years, while Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, both 18, got 13 years in a young offender institution after being found guilty of manslaughter in 2020.

Under Labour plans to tackle prison overcrowding, Cole and Bowers could get early release in months. A petition demanding their freedom is blocked is at nearly 900,000 signatures.

Mr Bushnell said: "To think they could be released early is absolutely outrageous. I'm angry with them, but I'm also angry with the government.

"They're spitting in the face of police officers. The government has to understand that this was the death of a police officer. They have got to serve their full sentence. Andy did his duty that night. The least they can do is show him some respect."

Indefensible

Describing the killers, Mr Bushnell added: "There was no remorse at all. It was almost a joke to them."

On the day of PC Harper's death, Mr Bushnell, who retired in 2022, pursued the vehicle until an inspector instructed him over the radio to stop.

Minutes later, he heard the devastating news his colleague had been killed.

"He was ever so friendly, always stopped for a chat, always asked about the dog. He was an animal lover, just a friendly, nice lad," said Mr Bushnell.

"I've seen people die before. I've seen suicides. This was beyond brutal. It was awful."

He received counselling and support from the Police Federation and revisits the scene each year. But with the seventh anniversary approaching, the loss remains as raw as ever.

Aileen O'Connor, chair of the Thames Valley Police Federation, said: "The public are speaking loudly and clearly. They agree with us that the government are firmly on the wrong side of this. The silence from the government is deafening. What they are doing is

Petition to keep pair in jail nears million

A PETITION demanding that two of PC Harper's killers must not be granted early release from prison by Labour had been signed nearly 900,000 times by last night.

But Downing Street aides indicated that it would not be possible to leave Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers out of the government scheme aimed at tackling prison overcrowding.

This came despite reports that PM Andy Burnham had been looking for a way to keep them behind bars.

The petition was started by Aileen O'Connor, head of the Police Federation at PC Harper's Thames Valley force.

She said: "We will throw everything we can at this to make sure that those responsible for killing Andrew Harper in the execution of his duty remain firmly behind bars."

Mr Burnham has considered amending the scheme to release 5,000 criminals early by excluding those who had killed workers in the emergency services.

But Downing Street said it was "not possible" to exempt "one or two offenders". Mr Burnham's

spokesman said that he was "far from accepting the situation" and added: "He's pushed hard on what more we could do and his focus now is on fixing the prison system long term to avoid a repeat of this prison crisis so that it never happens again."

PC Harper was 28 when he was killed while responding to a quad bike theft in Sulhamstead, Berks, in August 2019.

He was caught in a strap attached to a car and dragged down a road as three teenage suspects fled the scene.

Bowers and Cole were given 13 years for manslaughter. Under Labour's plans they will become eligible for release after serving half of their sentences, instead of two-thirds.

Car driver Henry Long received a 16-year sentence and as such is not eligible to be freed. Ministers say the scheme, in which some criminals will leave jail after 40% of their sentence rather than half, is needed due to jail overcrowding.

indefenable. And they simply cannot defend it. If you kill a police officer there should be no early release.

No ifs. No buts." Some 5,000 inmates are set

to be released early, down from 6,000 after exemptions - which did not include PC Harper's killers - were made as part of an urgent review.

No ifs said it was "not possible" to exempt "one or two offenders" convicted of manslaughter from early

release despite pressure. They insisted Andy Burnham is "far from accepting the situation" but played down the prospect of a carve-out to keep Cole and Bowers behind bars.

Henry Long's sentence means he is not eligible for early release.

Reform to send foreign prisoners to El Salvador

BY KATIE HARRIS

NIGEL Farage plans to deport foreign national offenders to jails abroad if he wins power.

The Reform UK leader said party chairman Lee Anderson and justice adviser Vanessa Frake, a former prison governor, would visit El Salvador for talks on the proposal.

Mr Farage added: "To house a foreign national offender in El Salvador will be half the cost of housing [them] in this country - and will give us more prison spaces."

It comes as Prime Minister Andy Burnham faces a backlash over the prison early release scheme, with thousands of offenders being freed due to a lack of space.

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Alex Burghart agreed "the government should obviously be looking to purchase prison places abroad" to reduce pressure on the system.

But Labour said: "This isn't a serious prison plan. Nigel Farage knows full well that renting prison places overseas would take years to arrange and does nothing to tackle the pressures we face now."

UK first in Europe

to approve pill for weight loss

Drug is likely to be cheaper than other similar products

img-25.jpeg

THE UK has become the first country in Europe to approve a pill to help with dieting and diabetes.

And experts say it could work out cheaper than other options and help people at lower weights.

Orforglipron, known as Foundayo and manufactured by Eli Lilly, has been authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

It is licensed for people with a body mass index of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of between 27 and 30 and at least one weight-related condition.

The drug can also be used to improve blood sugar in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. It is taken once a day, with no food or water restrictions.

Dosage begins at 0.8mg, climbing to 2.5mg, 5.5mg, 9mg, 14.5mg and 17.2mg.

Patients will spend a minimum of one month at each dosage level.

Julian Beach, executive director of healthcare quality and access at the MRHA, said: "Following rigorous assessment of orforglipron's safety, quality, and effectiveness, we are

pleased to be the first regulator in Europe to authorise this tablet for weight management and type 2 diabetes. As with all GLP-1 receptor agonists, this is a prescription-only medication, and the MHRA will keep the safety and effectiveness of orforglipron under close review."

Foundayo is not yet available on the NHS and will be evaluated by health service spending watchdog the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The MHRA

BY STORM NEWTON

approved the first GLP-1 pill for weight loss, a tablet form of Wegovy, in June. Experts welcomed the decision on orforglipron, and said the pill was likely to be much cheaper than GLP-1 jabs.

Dr Simon Cork, senior lecturer in physiology at Anglia Ruskin University, described the MHRA decision as a "big step forward in the treatment of obesity".

He said: "This medication is being authorised for people at lower body weights than other weight-loss medications.

"A BMI of 30 means this will likely be available to more people.

"This drug is likely to be much cheaper than currently available medications.

"Pill medications are much cheaper to manufacture than injectable medications, and the nature of the active compound in this medication is much cheaper to make than those found in injectable medications or in oral Wegovy."

Naveed Sattar, professor of cardiometabolic medicine and honorary

consultant at the University of Glasgow, said: "This is good news for people living with obesity.

"Having another oral treatment option expands choice, particularly for individuals reluctant to use injectable medicines or who may not require the weight loss typically achieved with the most effective injections.

"Unlike oral semaglutide, which must be taken fasting before food, it can be taken at any time of day."

England's hep C milestone

ENGLAND is on the cusp of becoming one of the first countries in the world to eliminate hepatitis C, health officials have said.

A&E blood tests, GP registration testing and free at-home kits have helped to find people who were previously undiagnosed.

NHS England said the nation is one of a handful of countries to have already exceeded the World Health Organisation benchmark of treating 80% of all known cases.

Hepatitis C is spread through contact with blood infected by the virus. A

treatment course of antiviral drugs for eight to 12 weeks cures more than 95% of cases.

Professor Frankie Swords, NHS national medical director, inset, said: "The NHS has worked hard alongside public health teams and charities to find and treat hidden cases. Over 100,000 people have received potentially life-saving treatment in just a decade.

"England is now leading the world in the mission to eliminate this disease and is on course to beat the WHO's 2030 target."

Half a dozen for Rod Stewart

Grandchild number 6 for Sir Rod

BY PIERRA WILLIX

SIR Rod Stewart has welcomed his sixth grandchild at the age of 81 after his daughter Ruby gave birth again. Ruby, 39, had second son Levi with her fiance Jake Kalick and posted photos of the new arrival in hospital with his three-year-old brother Otis, writing: "Welcome sweet Levi!"

Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? singer Sir Rod had Ruby with US model Kelly Emberg – they dated from 1983 to 1990.

The three-times wed rocker has four sons and four daughters by five mums. His first child was Sarah Streeter, now 62, with his then-girlfriend Susannah Boffey.

Sir Rod is also a grandfather to Delilah, Louie and Elsie plus another born to his daughter Kimberly.

She has not shared the child's name publicly.

King's death error from radio station

BY CASEY COOPER-FISKE

A RADIO station has been reprimanded after accidentally announcing that the King had died.

Radio Caroline was found to have breached Ofcom rules after a pre-recorded message wrongly announcing the death of King Charles III was broadcast in May.

The message was followed by the national anthem and around 16 minutes of silence before a presenter apologised for the error.

An Ofcom ruling said a member of staff carrying out maintenance on the studio computer accessed the pre-recorded sound files and played them out of curiosity, unaware it would lead to the audio being broadcast live.

Once they realised what had happened, they stopped the files and "panicked and left the premises", it was said.

Radio Caroline said it "took the matter very seriously" and had acted "as soon as possible".

I just couldn't see a way out ...the pain was so oppressive

BRAD Pitt has revealed he once had suicidal thoughts when issues in his personal life almost became too much for him to bear.

The 62-year-old star – one of the finest actors of his generation – admitted "family stuff" nearly led him to the final curtain.

He said: "I was never suicidal in any way. It just was not my make-up. In fact, if I have any afflictions, it's probably being a congenital optimist.

"Or, as my forever-funny friend David Fincher will say, 'Yeah, you see the glass as half full, but it's half full of urine'."

"Anyway, I've never been suicidal except for one little period. And in that one little period, I just thought, I just couldn't...just didn't see a way out.

"The pain was so oppressive that – I wasn't going to act on this, but I could feel the cold steel of the bullet in my head, and it felt like relief.

"And I thought, 'Oh, OK, now I understand. I understand suicide, in the sense that it's just relief. It's just looking for relief from the pain'."

"But I also think we have incredible survival instincts. And for me, that immediately kicked in."

Although he would not divulge precisely what period his life he was talking about, at around this time last year, Brad had to deal with the death of his mum Jane. And then there was his bitter 2016 divorce from Angelina Jolie.

The Hollywood superstars first met on the set of their 2005 film Mr and

Mrs Smith, announcing their engagement seven years later.

Brad and Angelina are parents to Maddox 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 20, as well as 18-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

But after their mum filed for divorce in 2016, the pair were embroiled in a custody battle, as well as one over their assets, including a French winery.

Elsewhere in the interview with Esquire, Brad conceded that he has had something of a stop-start relationship with alcohol.

He said: "I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon...in a more restrained manner.

"I got overconfident a couple of times, went, 'Yep, nope, not good for me'."

Meanwhile, he has two films set for release

this year, with another being filmed. First up is Heart of the Beast, a survival thriller by Suicide Squad director David Ayer.

And he has teamed up with Fincher for The Adventures of Cliff Booth, a standalone sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood written by Quentin Tarantino.

Fans will then be able to see Brad, who has been dating jewellery executive Ines de Ramon since 2022, star with Julianne Nicholson in psychological thriller The Riders.

PM's cash-saving plans will change very little

ANDY Burnham deserves credit for recognising the suffering of millions of families who continue to be squeezed in Britain's ever-tightening cost of living vice.

The impacts on household budgets are real, deeply damaging, and have been long-lasting.

But while the Prime Minister has acted, his measures have been small-scale.

Capping bus fares at £2 is hardly a game-changer and scrapping VAT on household energy bills will save the average family £45 – the cost of 25 first class stamps.

Making it easier to cancel subscriptions will barely touch the sides, while he has ruled out axing stamp duty which most certainly would.

Taken together, the money-saving measures offered up by the Messiah without a Mandate amount to the square root of not very much and definitely fail to match the scale of Britain's broader economic challenges.

And that is why many are right to be worried about autumn.

On October 28, Chancellor John Healey will deliver Labour's third Budget since 2024 – one trumpeted as 'fiscal devolution' where regions will take greater control over tax and spending.

We all remember the first two: His predecessor Rachel Reeves lumbered families and businesses with £66 billion in tax rises, with many still living the nightmare.

Unselected Mr Burnham ousted Keir Starmer in a political coup.

But in case he has forgotten, the 2024 Labour manifesto ruled out increasing income tax, VAT, or national insurance.

The PM has warned 'difficult choices' lie ahead for taxpayers.

And with turgid economic growth, the upcoming Budget will almost certainly contain a few nasty surprises too.

We are taking water for granted during hot spell

WE often joke that the weather will always give us something to talk about in Britain. But what we are all experiencing this year is certainly no laughing matter.

While it has been joyous to bask in unbroken sunshine, the lack of rainfall is having serious and far-reaching consequences.

Last month was the joint second warmest July on record globally while Western Europe – which has experienced one of its hottest summers on record – has been devastated by widespread wildfires.

The UK Health Security Agency has been forced to issue more heat warnings, while most of Britain is now experiencing an effective drought – a situation unthinkable while we were in the grip of storms (Goretti, Chandra and Dave a few short months ago).

England had just 7% of the long-term average rainfall for July and southern England just 1%. Our lush green parks now resemble barren and arid wastelands.

More than 25 million people are now living with restrictions on water use. The reality is that we take water for granted. Many of us are too profligate with the resource, thinking nothing of the wasteful ways we use gallons every day.

If the past few parched months can teach us anything it is that water needs to be used more sparingly because, as the old proverb says, we never know the worth of it until the well is dry.

Climate change will not wait until we have more to be

Prime Minister's reduced bus fares are welcome but not at the expense of climate

img-33.jpeg

Prof Elizabeth Robinson

Guest columnist

AS wildfires forced tens of thousands from their homes across Southern Europe, the British government joined France and Spain in issuing a statement warning that climate change is threatening our way of life. But at the same time, ministers were paying for cheaper bus fares by weakening essential finance measures that help tackle climate change.

With many families struggling with their bills, Andy Burnham's decision to cut the bus fare cap from £3 to £2 is welcome news. But the initiative will be funded by changing international donations from the UK to tackle climate change abroad into repayable loans.

This might sound like dry accountancy, but there are real-world implications. And why should we the public have to choose between buses and the environment?

This summer our infrastructure has struggled under some of the highest temperatures on record. The June heatwave cost the country an estimated billion pounds in lost output and fallen productivity and put pressure on our health services.

Yes, the government needs to bring down the cost of living. But climate finance is also in Britain's economic interest.

Firstly, it helps poorer countries withstand climate shocks and remain stable. That allows these countries to trade with us, buying British goods and providing the food and other products on which we depend.

SECONDLY, if we make clean energy and infrastructure more affordable, it can help growing low and middle-income nations avoid becoming locked into the same high-emissions pathways taken by richer nations. This will reduce future global emissions which in turn reduces the costs the changing climate is imposing on our own economy. If

poorer countries have to take on more debt, they will have to spend more on debt repayments and less on key services like health and education, which is destabilising for their societies, and longer term for us because it results in a less stable world.

The truth is that what Britain does alone is largely irrelevant to saving the planet. We are responsible for less than 1% of global emissions – our own national emissions are falling.

Similarly, reducing our commitment to poorer countries might be considered a drop in the ocean in the context of global development spending. But every country could make the same argument and by leaving the cost of tackling climate change to others, we all lose.

We have a choice. We can see ourselves as a small, insignificant island. Or if we show leadership, and persuade others to

come along with us, we have a good chance of a far better outcome on climate change.

We already understand this principle when it comes to defence. Britain cannot make the world safe alone. We invest and cooperate with our allies because acting together to create a safer world is always better. Climate finance works on the same principle.

At COP29, a major United Nations summit held in 2024, higher-income countries like the UK agreed to take the lead in mobilising at least $300 billion a year for climate action in lower-income countries by 2035. There is no official bill for each country. But Britain represents roughly 2.1% of the global economy when measured by purchasing power, and a higher share of we consider only higher income countries.

On that basic maths, our

contribution would be somewhere above $6.3 billion, or roughly £5 billion, of the $300 billion target. That sounds enormous. But Britain will spend £74 billion on defence in 2027-28. And climate change is arguably a greater threat.

THE government's own International Climate Finance Strategy says tackling climate change at home and overseas is a priority – not as charity but an essential investment in our long-term national security and prosperity. So why is Andy Burnham now treating it as a piggy bank that can be raided whenever another bill needs paying?

Climate change will not wait until we have more money in our pockets. The PM is right to make buses cheaper, but it is for the government to find another way to fund it. Otherwise, cheap fares are akin to being on the Titanic and hoping someone else will stop us from sinking.

The single biggest Burnham betrayal

APPARENTLY, Andy Burnham is considering a post-Brexit plan to rejoin the EU Single Market and extend our nuclear deterrent across the continent.

Aside from being an absolute betrayal of his Brexit voting constituents in Makerfield, rejoining the Single Market would be economic suicide. We

img-34.jpeg

have tariff-free, quota-free access to the EU market without having to pay a huge membership and without all of our companies - including the 92% who do no trade with the EU - being compelled to abide by stifling EU regulations which has made Europe the continent with the slowest economic growth in the world.

Nobody in their right mind would even contemplate this deal.

Labour try to hide their private parts

DON'T you just love the timeless "do as I say, not as I do" approach of socialists?

The latest afflicted is Net Zero Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh who sends her three children to private schools, but supports Labour's VAT policy designed to stop thousands of other parents being able to do the same, and which has already forced 30,000 children to leave private schools.

But (privately educated) Miatta doesn't care. Her kids are still lucky enough to be at private school. Socialists seem to believe that private education is terrible for others, but absolutely fine for their own family.

UK steamrollered by EDI bandwagon

YOU'D have thought by now discredited Equality, Diversity and Inclusion schemes, quotas, courses and programmes would have been consigned to the dustbin - but not so. This multimillion-pound industry marches on.

The latest scandal is the appointment of Jason Arday to the post of Professor of Sociology of Education at Cambridge University despite his lack of research and publications when compared with those appointed to similar positions at supposedly one of the world's best education institutions.

So intent was the selection panel to meet diversity goals, that they were prepared to damage its global reputation of academic brilliance to do so.

And then when Times Higher Education journalist Jack Grove emailed Arday asking legitimate questions about his academic record, his CV, and claims of raising £5.5million for charity, Arday and his representatives lodged a formal harassment complaint with the police, which the Met Police outrageously spent four months investigating before dropping the case.

The Met has since apologised to Grove. But this nonsense politically correct EDI philosophy has taken root in UK forces via guidance such as the anti-racist commitments that saw officers treat stabbed and bleeding murder victim, Henry Nowak, as the perpetrator because he was white and his murderer claimed Henry had been racist towards him.

Damaging EDI runs deep across our institutions, including the Tavistock Clinic scandals where ideology overrode evidence; and the scandalous case of Valdo Calocane who killed three people after mental health workers released him.

Despite these appalling cases, the EDI bandwagon rolls on because it remains a shibboleth of the left-wing progressives now running so many of our public institutions, and it has also become big business for large

img-35.jpeg

corporations who have a vested interest in perpetuating it.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the UK successfully developed strict anti-discrimination laws like the Race Relations Act, the Sex Discrimination Act & Equal Pay Act, but as US corporates expanded globally they introduced their concept of "managing diversity" to the UK, actively promoting it as a tool for business growth and public sector compliance. And it was Labour's Equality Act that spawned today's EDI and what boosted its agenda. It merged nine pieces of anti-discrimination law into a single framework and provided a statutory duty for all public bodies to actively eliminate discrimination

and advance equal opportunity. This created a huge, immediate demand for full-time managers, training suppliers, and external consultants to ensure compliance.

Then, in 2020, the Big Four accountancy firms (Deloitte, EY, PwC, and KPMG) partnered directly with the World Economic Forum to build the universal financial framework that drove these corporate policies to the world's largest companies placing EDI at the centre of international finance.

EDI is now valued at approximately $15.4billion globally and set to grow to $27bn by 2030.

The Equality Act needs altering radically before it causes more damage to the UK, our citizens and institutions. Labour won't do it - this PC nonsense is in its DNA - but the next government needs to make it a top priority to sort this out once and for all.

Swift dig Taylor made for Trump

DONALD Trump let TikTok sparks fly at the weekend when he used Democrat supporting Taylor. Swift's music for a firework video he posted.

Swift's legal team took no time blocking use of the music. Trump knew what he was doing - he was causing a spat to boost his online followers, and Taylor Swift played right into his hands.

IN 1989 Margaret Thatcher's government came up with a biological weapon to destroy Peru's cocaine supply. The top-secret plan was to "bomb" thousands of moths bred at Porton Down chemical defence facility on their coca crops, but a lack of political and financial support from Peru's capital, Lima, meant the proposals never came to fruition.

The current total annual value of its cocaine ranges from $1.2billion at the source to upwards of $25bn to $35bn when sold on global retail markets. The number of annual global deaths from cocaine is about 30,000.

What a shame this ingenious plan was never implemented. I wonder if it can be resurrected now?

TO FREE OR NOT TO FREE... ANDY'S DOWNING STREET DRAMA WITH A KILLER PLOT

ANDY Burnham is back from his holiday and trying to decide which killers in England and Wales he will keep locked up in prison and which he will let out. There are currently 950 doing time for manslaughter.

Government officials have told the PM the only legally

sound way to keep PC Andrew Harper's killers behind bars is to block the early release of the entire cohort of manslaughter convicts, but they are also telling him prisons are overcrowded and he can't keep all 950 inside.

Burnham should grow a pair; tell his civil servants that all

the killers will remain behind bars and draw up alternative plans such as getting the Bibby Stockholm barge up and running or renting prison spaces from other countries.

Letting these criminals out of prison makes us all less safe, and will inevitably lead to tragic consequences.

Local Matters

I WAS out in my town centre the other day when I got chatting to a Swedish couple. They were tourists on their way for a ride on the Esk Valley railway – a stunning route which passes through beautiful time-warp villages before ending at the world-famous seaside town of Whitby. However, their journey was not without a stop in Middlesbrough town centre first.

Somewhat confused, they asked me if it was a special day in my hometown.

A special day? It was a Friday morning, so other than the excitement of the impending weekend, I couldn't understand what they meant. "But why are all the shops closed?" asked the woman.

Oh. That. I went on to explain, a bit shamefacedly, that no, it wasn't a Bank Holiday or the like – it's just that all the shops that had once been there had now left. I asked if she'd heard of Marks & Spencer. "Well of course!" came the reply.

I indicated to the huge vacant store that we were standing right next to. But not only that – Next has gone, Debenhams has gone and so too has Binns, all within the same 500 metres or so.

They were dumbfounded. They asked sympathetically if it was the UK economy that was the cause. We know that that's only part of the problem, as shoppers are turning in droves to online shopping.

Sadly, the reason I was in town that day was to chat to people and business owners about the shocking rise in shoplifting across the town and the UK more generally. Many tell me that it makes them feel unsafe as yobs walk in and out of shops and take what they want with little to no consequence.

Is it any wonder that shoppers are abandoning their town centres for safe and secure retail parks? They lack the same character and, of course, identity – but at least you're not going to get set upon by drug-addled crooks after a quick hit.

I have talked about the death of our high streets before, and our new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has indicated that it's one of his top priorities.

But although reducing business rates – or scrapping them altogether – is crucial for town centres, we also need our high streets to be pleasant and safe places. That means ensuring a zero-tolerance approach, with police dealing with every single theft. The sooner there's an end to the so-called £200 rule, which often allows thieves to get away with anything under that amount, the better.

Given his credentials as a northern mayor, I hope that Mr Burnham

img-36.jpeg

I'M SOMEONE who lives my life by a to-do list. Everything I need to get done is nearly written on it and then crossed off with great relish when a task is complete. So it made me laugh to find out that six in 10 Brits say their list is NEVER completely ticked off.

The study found 85% of people feel overwhelmed by the number of jobs they need to get done, according to new research from British Gas. Tell me about it! TOP 5 TO-DO LIST TASKS: Clean the oven – 41%; Sort out the junk drawer – 30%; Defrost the freezer – 28%; Iron a pile of shirts – 25%; Unblock a hair-clogged shower or plughole – 24%. Good luck!

WORKING the weekend can be an absolute bind – but one little treat is that my husband Chris will rustle me up a fried egg sarnie while I slave over the laptop (okay, slave is perhaps a bit dramatic... but I am allowed to feel a bit sorry for myself, I reckon).

Anyway – back to the sandwich. It's always on sliced white bread, butter, two eggs (with runny yolks of course) and lashings upon lashings of tomato sauce.

So chuffed was I with my morning meal, I was one of those saddos who snapped a quick photo and shared it to Twitter. However, I soon

realised that not everyone was as big a tomato sauce fan as I am, with some downright outraged at the amount.

I've always been a tomato sauce addict, even as a child when I'd add it to my Sunday dinner, a huge blob of it to swim in my gravy: how uncouth!

One of your five a day if you ask me...

makes this one of his key battles. After all, I want Swedish visitors to remember what the UK has to offer, not our boarded-up shop fronts.

Rivals cast party with producer Felicity

BY GILES SHELDRICK

RIVALS put their screen differences aside for a riotous weekend.

The cast of the smash-hit 1980s-set "bonkbuster" – based on the Rutshire Chronicles novel series by the late Jilly Cooper – had a party to toast the show's executive producer Felicity Blunt's 45th birthday.

Among those raising a glass were her US actor and Devil Wears Prada star husband Stanley Tucci, 65, Emily Atack, and fellow stars Bella Maclean, Katherine Parkinson, Rufus Jones, and Alex Hassell.

Actress Emily, 36, who attended the party with her fiance Alistair Garner and their one-year-old son Barney, said in tribute to Felicity, sister of Emily Blunt: "You are so loved and you spoil us all with

your kindness and constant insistence on everyone having the best time ever. Happy birthday – we love you."

Felicity, who was given a cake made of cheese, was also the literary agent for Dame Jilly, who died last year aged 88, and helped turn her novels into a Disney+ ratings sensation.

The first series was released to rave reviews in 2024, with the first six episodes of the second series released in May and June. The last six episodes are due to air this November.

'My family enjoy life Mour without me...'

JOSE Mourinho has admitted he doesn't spend a lot of time with his family but insists his wife and children enjoy life more when he is not there.

The football manager has been married to his childhood sweetheart Matilde "Tami" Faria for more than 35 years, and they have two children – Matilde, 30, and Jose Mario Jr, 26.

But the family seldom travelled with him over 25 years as he managed Benfica, Porto, Chelsea, Manchester Utd, Roma, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, where he is now on his second stint.

He lived in the Lowry hotel in Manchester alone for much of his time there. For the majority of their upbringing

ing the children lived in the west London family home while he travelled.

In a new interview, Mourinho, 63, says: "Sometimes you have a feeling of, 'I should be there, I'm not there.' But I don't want you to think that family means something less important to me.

"They are in a place that they cannot even be compared with football.

"But to tell the truth, I know that they enjoy life much more without me. That's real. It's true. If they go to a restaurant with me, it's different than going without me." But Mourinho has stressed the importance of his marriage and family

life. In 2014 he said: "My wife trusts me, my wife knows me. She has been with me since I was 17 and she was 15 – everything is so crystal clear for us.

"My social life doesn't exist. I have my professional work and I have my family life. I am so happy the way I am. The secret in everything is love."

Speaking in a new Netflix documentary on his family as photos of them appear on screen, he says: "I try to protect as much as I can, but many times, of course, I fail. It's not easy... they understand that to be what I am in football, this is my way."

Miracle as blast man

A BUNGALOW explodes in a fireball, showering cars and homes with bricks and debris in shocking doorbell camera footage.

One man was rushed to hospital with injuries after being rescued from the ruins, while neighbours near Milton Keynes had to be evacuated.

It also sparked a blaze at the home in Newton Longville, Bucks.

Thames Valley Police said they were called to Cobb Hall Road at 9.44am on Sunday amid reports of an explosion and the collapse of a property.

Fire investigators revealed the incident was a suspected gas explosion.

Gas distribution firm SGN said people nearby had to be evacuated.

The neighbour – who asked not to be named – whose doorbell camera captured footage of the blast said

their own home was also damaged. Nicki Richardson, a friend of the neighbour, admitted: “It is absolutely frightening to see the force of the explosion from a property opposite.”

Katie, another witness, who was staying with her brother, said: “I was asleep, but I heard a massive explosion and shot up. It was like something crashed into the house.

“My brother could see fire and smoke. All the debris of the insulation was falling from the sky.

“My brother saw the man getting helped out of the property. It is crazy to think he survived it. The bathroom seems to be intact so we think he must have been in there. When I was running down to where it happened

there were two smaller explosions. Fire was shooting from the ground. It was petrifying."

Sue Watkins, 65, who lives nearby, said she heard two "very loud thuds" and felt the ground shake at around 9.30am as she sat in her garden.

Petrifying

Ms Watkins added: "There was a bungalow on fire; front had been blown off; roof was gone.

"There was a man sitting on the ground outside looking dazed and shocked, people around looking after him."

Residents claim they reported the smell of gas just nine hours before the blast. A local said they called emergency gas services who assessed the

situation and said a team would be coming on Sunday or yesterday to fix the problem.

The Crooked Billet pub became a hub for those forced to evacuate.

Landlady Ness Thornton-Kitchen said: "The pub is all about being the middle of the village and the middle of the community. Those people that needed us and needed that help had somewhere safe to come."

Police said: "One person sustained injuries, requiring hospital treatment, where they remain."

An SGN spokesperson said: "Our engineers joined the emergency services on site this morning.

"We understand that a resident has been taken to hospital to receive treatment and our thoughts are with them."

Accused drug kingpin extradited from Dubai to Dublin

Daniel Kinahan sits behind masked guard as he leaves court where he faced money laundering allegations

img-62.jpeg

ALLEGED organised crime boss Daniel Kinahan woke up inside a maximum security prison yesterday after being extradited from his luxury life in Dubai. One of the world's most wanted men, Kinahan was flown back to his native Ireland amid huge security to face allegations he ran an international drug smuggling and money laundering empire. Its tentacles allegedly stretched to Britain, Spain and the US.

An Irish government jet carrying Kinahan, 49, landed at Dublin on Sunday evening. A heavily armed police convoy rushed him to the Special Criminal Court in the Irish capital where he was charged with directing a criminal organisation. Judge Patrick McGrath explained that because of the charge an application for

BY ALLISTER NAGGER

bail would have to be made to the High Court. Kinahan replied: "I understand, I think we know I won't be getting bail, but thank you."

He was ordered to remain in custody at the high-security Portlaoise Prison ahead of his next court appearance on October 5. Kinahan will be held in a segregated cell designed to isolate him from other inmates, with hi-tech signal jammers blocking any communication.

The security precautions came after Kinahan's family members were linked to a bloody gang war with another Irish crime group. US authorities said in 2022 the feud had resulted in 18 murders.

Irish police have been pursuing members

of the Kinahan gang since at least 2016, when the rivalry led to a daytime shooting during the weigh-in for a boxing match at a Dublin hotel. Kinahan was a boxing promoter at the time.

He is believed to have run the day-to-day operations of the gang from his base in Dubai, the US Treasury Department said.

That includes buying "large quantities of cocaine" from South America, organising its distribution in Ireland and attempting to smuggle drugs into the UK, the Treasury said. Kinahan was detained by Dubai authorities in April.

In March 2022, the head of the Kinahan organisation in Britain, Thomas "Bomber" Kavanagh, was jailed for 21 years for orchestrating drug shipments into the UK.

EXCLUSIVE BY RICHARD ASHMORE

THE United Nations has called for the release of a British dad of three whose family fear he will die in Dubai's "Alcatraz" after his sentence was extended by 20 years.

Businessman Ryan Cornelius, 72, was jailed in 2008 on fraud charges related to Dubai Islamic Bank.

He has always denied the accusations but in 2018, after serving a 10-year sentence, his term was extended by two decades without trial, after a request from the bank.

The UN has now called on the Emirati government to release Ryan without delay, calling his detention arbitrary and marred by serious judicial irregularities.

Ryan is being held in the notorious Al Awir prison, which is a 45-minute drive into the desert and a world away from the skyscrapers and Instagram influencers of the city.

Instead of the shark-infested waters circling the famous old San Francisco prison, miles of scorched sand surround the jail where Ryan was held in a shipping container-sized cell for 17 years alongside 10 other inmates.

His family say he caught tuberculosis after a cellmate died from the condition. Ryan was not given medical treatment for 18 months. There are also allegations of torture and stints in solitary confinement for more than two weeks at a time.

If his release date is 2038, Ryan will be 84 years old when he gets out.

His wife Heather said he had already missed out on so many milestones for their three children, now 36, 34 and 24. She last saw her husband's face on a video call four years ago and

UN calls for British businessman jailed in 2008 to be freed

Fears dad of three, 72, will die in 'Alcatraz' of desert

revealed his first grandchild was born to his eldest son and his partner yesterday. Heather said: "It's so devastating that Ryan will not meet this baby or even my son's partner.

"I am so excited as a grandmother, but it is still a great sadness for me this is happening and he is not out of jail."

In a report the United Nations Human Rights Council has called on both the British government and Emirati authorities to find a diplomatic resolution to end Ryan's "suffering".

Chris Pagett, Ryan's brother-in-law, said questions should have been raised from the very start over the judicial

process. He said: "The UN working group on arbitrary detention, that looked back on everything and the judgment, was quite clear he never received a fair trial.

"British policy seems to have been to look the other way."

And Heather said in a letter to Alistair Burt, the UK's first envoy for complex consular cases: "Just free my husband so that we can be together for the few years which remain to us and I will forgive you the past."

The Foreign Office, UAE government and Dubai Bank have been approached for comment.

By HANNAH BRITT

BREATHLESS, overeager and daft as the brush she used to clean chalets, Hi-de-Hi's Peggy's dream finally came true when she was made a yellowcoat. Her burning desire to be promoted from chalet maid to a camp host and entertainer was one of the charming running themes over nine series of the sitcom loved by the nation.

But actress Su Pollard, who played Peggy Ollerenshaw at the fictitious Mapius holiday camp, says she was clueless about her own level of fame until she picked up a puzzle.

Su, 76, says: 'I saw the crossword, and did a double take. It read: 'What was the name of the actress that played Peggy in Hi-de-Hi?' And I couldn't believe it. It's me, it's me!'

But she has had a few reminders of her fame along the way, including when Queen's Freddie Mercury asked to join her at a club, Beatle Paul McCartney asked for her autograph and she danced in Downing Street with Princess Diana.

Peggy's moment in the sun was short-lived. She was promoted in the last episode in 1988 – then the Essex holiday camp swiftly closed.

Su's time in the spotlight is longer lasting. She has particularly fond memories of acting alongside Ruth Madoc, who played snobbish, lovelorn yellowcoat Gladys.

Ruth's death in December 2022, aged 79, after surgery following a fall devastated Su.

She says of their time on Hi-de-Hi! which, at its peak, pulled in more than 20 million viewers: 'There was no envy between us. None of this, 'you've got more lines than I should have.' We worked together as a really good team.

'I'm so glad that the day before she had the operation, I rang her and just said, 'good luck, babe. Hope it goes well and let me know how you get on.'

'You can imagine the shock when I was told that she'd passed away. It was awful. I think of her all the time.'

'When you've worked with people for a long time, they're not just colleagues. You see their kids grow up, how well they're doing. We were fortunate to have had that kind of wonderful, extra joy of familial comfort with each other. She liked her whisky and a fag. And, you know, she was a great opera singer.'

Su, who reached number two in 1986 with Starting Together, went on to star in BBC One's You Rang, M'Lord, as well as appearing in West End Musicals and doing 46 pantos.

SHE says: 'Pantomimes are pure, unadulterated fun. Joy. The audience is given permission to have a good time. People still yell Hi-di-Hi! at me on stage.'

But her favourite role is not Peggy, but Miss Hannigan, the evil orphanage matron in Annie. She says: 'I did it for 10 years off and on – 12-week tours at a time. Add all those tours up and I've been Miss Hannigan for two and a half years straight. She became part of me.'

'I always found something different. She's brilliant. You could really play with her. I tried to make her as real as possible. I hardly wore any makeup, she wore this terrible blue eye shadow, it was up my nose and round my eyes.'

'I could get ready in five minutes. I'd throw my wig across the dressing room and stand on it to make it look like she hadn't had her hair done in five years.'

Su prefers playing a baddie. 'There's no competition, especially in a panto. I'd rather get down and dirty with a baddie than play someone squeaky clean.' But this

Hi-de-Hi's Su Pollard on being recognised by Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury – and dancing with Princess Diana

On Thursday, her new book, Su Pollard: Fully Charged, is out, looking back at her decades in showbusiness. In it, she recalls being flabbergasted when she was recognised by the Queen singer in the mid-80s.

'I clearly remember meeting Freddie Mercury on the dance floor of the Copacabana Club in Earl's Court. This man

img-65.jpeg

img-66.jpeg

came up to me and said, very politely: 'Do you mind if I join you?'

'I nearly screamed. He was completely relaxed and charming. He told me how much he loved Hi-de-Hi! and then, to my delight, asked me to say 'Hi-de-Hi!', one of the famous catchphrases from the show, properly for him.

'I obliged loudly, of course, and he replied 'Hi-de-Ho!' Then he asked me for a picture.'

Su has also had an encounter with a Beatle. 'When I came off stage at the Royal Variety Performance I found myself standing next to Paul McCartney and Linda.'

'Suddenly he piped up, 'Hi-de-Hi!'. He told me how much a relative loved the show

and asked if I would sign an autograph for her.' She also tap danced with Princess Di at 10 Downing Street, when they were both at a charity event.

'She told me she loved my dress, saying 'it's like a rainbow'. It had been knitted by a fan – squares of wool, in a patchwork.

She said: 'I hear you're doing Me and My Girl'. I said, 'Yes, but I'm struggling with the tapping.' She told me she'd learned ballet when she was younger, but had recently been learning tap dancing herself and found it difficult to master.

'I showed her a couple of steps, and she said, 'let's do something together then'. So we did. It was really fabulous, just off the cuff.' Raised in Nottingham, Su recalls sing-

ing at Christmas for parents Hilda and Don, who worked for cigarette makers Players, when she was four. She says: "Another career path never entered my mind. I was born wanting to perform. They always encouraged me. One of my earliest memories is mum singing along to the radio, I always think of her when I do radio."

A REGULAR guest on the BBC Radio 4 panel game Just a Minute, she also appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2021. Su adds: "I get my work ethic from my dad, who took approximately two weeks off in his life." After cut-

ting her teeth in local theatre, Su's first appearance on national TV came in 1975, on Opportunity Knocks. Her first foray into sitcoms was in 1979's Two Up, Two Down, before Hi-de-Hi! in 1980.

After all her success, she has no plans to retire. She hopes to take her one-woman show, Su Pollard: Still Fully Charged, to New Zealand soon, having toured the UK for the past two years. She says: "Don't mention the

She says: "I'm great mates with my ex-husband's husband."

Charming and self-deprecating, Su is a champion of comedy actresses. "I've been watching Ann Droid with Sue Johnston. It's

brilliant – I hope they make more." Her advice to comedy writers is simple. "As long as your dialogue is witty and it's got heart, you're on to a winner. That was the formula for the sitcom phenomenon of the 50s, then the 80s, it's the same today."

The best advice she received was from director Tudor Davies. "I was 25. He said, 'don't be up yourself, Pollard'. I'm pleased to say I've stuck to that ever since."

IT took just one memorable summer for legendary chef Anthony Bourdain to gain many of the skills and flair that would turn him into a cultural icon.

The New Yorker became a connoisseur of global cuisine and culture and a chronicler of the human condition.

He penned a bestselling memoir Kitchen Confidential in 2000 and was one of television's most recognisable travel documentarians before he took his own life in 2018 at the age of 61.

But before Anthony Bourdain became Anthony Bourdain, there was the summer of 1975.

And it is this period that is dramatised in the new film Tony.

It stars Antonio Banderas as Bourdain's mentor, the paternal seafood chef who takes a reckless, overconfident 19-year-old, played by Dominic Sessa, 23, under his wing.

Directed by Canadian Matt Johnson, it is set in the picturesque beachside enclave of Provincetown,

BY LYNN RUSK

on Massachusetts' idyllic Cape Cod. And it is here the audience sees a lanky teenager from New Jersey begin to discover the first traces of the man he would become.

Leo Woodall, 29, plays Bourdain's hedonistic thrill-seeking co-worker Sal and fellow British star Emilia Jones, 24, is his love interest Nancy.

Dangerous

Johnson, 40, said: "With Tony, I wanted to figure out how Bourdain became who he was.

"It's a coming-of-age story about somebody we all think we know, but nobody knows from this specific period of his life.

"The concept for the film was taking a single formative summer from Anthony Bourdain's youth and expanding on the mythology people

know about him. We wanted to make a hopeful movie."

In the film, the biggest influence on Bourdain's life is "Chef", played by Banderas, 65. The Spanish actor says his character Ciro can see Bourdain is heading down a dangerous path and explained: "He notices he's going in the wrong direction, in terms of love, drugs. He's entering a tunnel from which it's very difficult to get out."

Banderas, who owns several restaurants in his home city of Malaga, says he relished immersing himself in the kitchen scenes.

He added: "I have seven restaurants. I went into the kitchen of the one that specialises in seafood, where a chef called Rocio taught me how to open oysters without killing myself.

"It's not as easy as it looks. Discipline is important in every walk of life, but especially in a kitchen."

● Tony is released in UK and Irish cinemas from this Friday.

EXCLUSIVE

By Edward Abel Smith

ONCE a month for the past year, I have been going to meet a man who may not be alive the next time I visit. Before I leave, I always ask the same question: "Can I come again next month?" His answer never changes. "Sure," he says, "if I'm still alive."

Clive Freeman is 83 years old. He has terminal cancer and is now too frail even for further treatment. He has spent over 38 years in prison for the murder of a man he says he did not kill.

He may be Britain's longest-serving prisoner maintaining his innocence, currently incarcerated at HMP Leyhill. His minimum tariff, set by the judge who sentenced him in 1989, was 15 years. He has served more than two and a half times that. Not because he has been violent. Not because he has caused any trouble – he has no adjudications against his name in nearly four decades inside.

The sole reason Clive Freeman remains in prison is that he will not say he is guilty of something he insists he did not do. The parole system has no mechanism for a man like that. Every hearing since his tariff expired has effectively punished him again for the same refusal.

"I made a promise to my late wife that I would only leave prison as an exonerated man," he has told me. "She was a wonderful woman." He is still keeping that promise.

Over the past year, I have visited Clive on his monthly day release. He has spent years recording tapes from prison, which I have been able to listen to. I have also been going through the case files and trial transcripts. Along with Dani Carpanen, we have made a podcast about his case.

Each time I see him, I watch him get a little trailer. He is polite, precise and – given everything – remarkably composed. What strikes me most, sitting across from him in a café or in the seat next to him in the car, is how little of his real story was ever put before the people who decided his fate.

All the jury heard was that in April 1988, Freeman – then 44, a former Zimbabwean soldier newly arrived in London – brought a drunk stranger named Alexander Hardie back to his flat in Rotherhithe after a night's drinking near Victoria Station.

The two men had met randomly in a pub. Freeman left the country for America the following day. He told me that when he left his flat to catch his flight, Hardie was "in a drunken stupor" having apparently stayed up most of the night drinking whisky while Freeman slept. But when neighbours alerted emergency services to a fire in the flat, they found Hardie's dead body partially burned. Suspicion turned to Freeman when the police discovered garbled messages from him to his family members about a new life insurance scheme and how he intended to commit suicide so they could claim it.

INVESTIGATORS believed that Freeman had lured Hardie back to his flat, killed him and then set it on fire, so it would be assumed that Hardie's body was in fact Freeman, allowing his family to get the insurance. And Freeman had left the country on a false passport.

Freeman was eventually arrested in Australia and returned to the UK where he was convicted of murder in under an hour of jury deliberation.

What persuaded the jury that he was guilty was not primarily the forensic evidence or the police's life insurance scam hypothesis – it was Freeman's behaviour. Not only had he left suddenly on a false passport just as Hardie had died, he had a bag already packed for a quick getaway. He

Clive Feeling in Grey's Scouts, and at the beach

img-83.jpeg

refused to answer any of the detectives' questions. He wouldn't give details about his family. To twelve people in an Old Bailey jury box in 1989, this looked like a guilty man who had planned his escape in advance.

To understand why it wasn't – or at least why it may not have been – you have to go back some years, and several thousand

miles, to a war many British people have forgotten about.

Clive Freeman was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia, in 1943. As a brilliant horseman he joined the Grey's Scouts – a mounted cavalry reconnaissance unit fighting the insurgency led by Robert Mugabe, on the white minority side. He was good at it. Good

enough that when the Bush War ended in 1979 and Mugabe swept to power in the elections that followed, Freeman wasn't simply a soldier on the losing side. He was the second person ever declared an enemy of the new Zimbabwean state.

That designation was not ceremonial. Friends in similar positions were detained

and tortured. Freeman managed to escape the country, settling in the UK. In London, Freeman obtained a passport under a false name not to evade justice, but because returning to Zimbabwe as himself meant death.

The silence under police questioning, the packed bag, the false papers – what the prosecution presented to the jury as the behaviour of a guilty man was simply how a declared enemy of the Zimbabwean state had learned to survive. It was likely that Clive was suffering from PTSD.

On the advice of his legal team, he did not take the stand. The jury convicted him on the basis of half a story, and the half they didn't hear was the half that made sense of everything they saw.

Underneath all of this, the forensic case itself has been quietly unravelling for over a decade. The conviction rests on a theory of murder called "burking" – a Victorian asphyxiation technique that leaves no reliable forensic trace, making it almost as difficult to disprove as to prove. The pathologist who identified it had originally written in his own notes that he believed Hardie had most likely died of natural causes, specifically from serious underlying health conditions including acute pancreatitis and the effects of chronic alcoholism.

Nine days later, on his third postmortem he changed his finding. The jury heard only the burking theory.

That first set of notes did not come to light until 2012, when two fellow prisoners found them while going through Freeman's case files by hand. Since then, eight independent pathologists have reviewed the evidence.

Their conclusion, in summary, is that the burking finding should never have survived cross-examination, and that Hardie's underlying health conditions provide a far more plausible explanation for his death.

The fire in the flat was likely caused by one of the cigarettes Hardie had drunkenly been smoking.

LAST August, after six attempts spanning 25 years, the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) finally referred Freeman's case to the Court of Appeal. The CCRC's statutory test for making a referral is deliberately demanding: it will only act when it considers there is "a real possibility that the conviction would not be upheld". They therefore have enough concern that this conviction, after 38 years, may not survive.

Clive Freeman is still in prison.

The Court of Appeal hearing is unlikely before the end of this year. Freeman himself does not believe he will live to see it. Each time I visit him – a little thinner, a little slower – I find myself thinking about the arithmetic of it. Fifteen years was what the judge decided justice required. Thirty-eight years is what he has served. The difference between those two numbers is not explained by anything he did inside. It is explained entirely by his refusal to say something he believes to be untrue.

There is a version of this story in which Clive Freeman is guilty of everything he was convicted of, and in which the system has simply done what systems do. But there is another version – supported now by the CCRC, by eight pathologists, by a suppressed postmortem note, and by four decades of consistent, unbending insistence from a dying man – in which the wrong half of his story was told to the jury that convicted him, and nobody with the power to fix it has moved fast enough to matter.

I will go and see him again next month. I will ask if I can come the month after.

And he will give me the same answer he always gives.

EXIST

BY JAMES CONNOLLY

A ROW has erupted over plans to transform a once-popular grade II-listed pub into a mosque.

The Gatehouse, built in 1934 on the outskirts of Norwich city centre, closed three years ago following the death of its landlord.

It was bought by a local Muslim association. However, plans to convert it have sparked concern among residents and pub campaigners.

Another mosque is just half a mile down the road.

Proposals from Norwich Muslim Centre show a large copper-coloured extension decorated with Islamic-style screens and Arabic lettering which would be built on to the rear of the pub.

Horrified

Neighbours fear the development will swamp surrounding streets with cars, while campaigners warn a piece of Britain's traditional pub heritage could be lost forever.

Richard Dixon, a local Camra member, said: "Norwich has lost many pubs over the years, to either be knocked down or redeveloped.

"There are now large areas of the city that have few or even no pubs."

He added: "No reasonable efforts were made to show the pub cannot be viable.

"The Gatehouse was well-liked and used by the community for socialising, drinking, music and pub games. It should be retained for use as a public house."

The building, which has Arts and Crafts and Tudor styling, was granted grade II-listed status in 2015. Residents are being invited to

Anger at plans to turn listed pub into mosque

Fears traditional landmark will be lost

give their views on the city council's planning portal.

One objector said: "I am horrified to read that the listed Gatehouse pub is to be turned into a mosque.

"We have lost far too many of our pubs. There is no need for another

mosque in Norwich." Another said: "This change of use will push more parked vehicles on to neighbouring roads which will no doubt have a detrimental impact of the area."

But supporters say the plans would breathe new life into the

building. One said: "The respect the mosque expressed for the architecture is great and as long as changes respect the history I think permission should be given."

The plans include a modern extension constructed behind the

building. CGI mock-ups show glass-fronted prayer and function halls overlooking landscaped terraces, gardens and the nearby river.

A statement submitted with the application says: "Our dream is to create a community hub that not only provides a space for worship but also empowers the next generation with strong Islamic identity, promotes interfaith engagement and tackles misconceptions about Muslims."

Character

Sirajul Islam, a trustee of Norwich Muslim Community Association, said a detailed traffic management plan had been drawn up with a transport consultant. Nearby parking has also been identified and an agreement secured with a local business for another 10 to 12 spaces.

Mr Islam added: "There is another mosque located nearby, and the two facilities will work together positively by accommodating worshippers across both sites."

He said the listed building's historic character would be protected.

The application awaits a decision from Norwich City Council.

'Chilling' warning as scam artists target bereaved

Relief, vision, fear, self-regulation, by a limit of bereavement

EXCLUSIVE

BY PAUL JEEVES Crime Editor

GRIEVING pensioners are being targeted by cybercriminals who can them with fake funeral plans, false death certificates and bogus insurance, a Daily Express probe discovered.

We found a rising number of scams zeroing in on the recently bereaved, with fraudsters exploiting their emotional and physical exhaustion.

The crimes have a ruinous financial effect on people at their most vulnerable, and many lose their life savings.

Gangs set up fake online 'grief networks' to gain the trust of those seeking emotional support – then trick them into bogus investments.

More than a quarter of victims (27%) are targeted by scams offering fake information about apparently trusted brands and services, while 26% have fallen prey to fraudsters impersonating authoritative bodies to build unwarranted trust or incite fear.

Experts say spotting potential danger signs can feel nearly impossible for mourners engulfed by the paperwork that follows the death of a loved one.

Victims said their judgment was clouded by fatigue and the financial worries, acute stress and mental health challenges caused by bereavement.

Jane said that she lost 'thousands' after falling prey to a fraudster she encountered on a fake grief forum.

The 71-year-old from Barnsley revealed: 'I was looking for advice.

Payout

'A social media post led me to a website that I believed to be genuine. But it was all an evil scam.

'They found out quickly that I had received a life insurance payout from my late husband.

'I was encouraged to take out a funeral plan. I thought it would be less of a burden for my children when I passed but it turned out to be entirely fake and I lost all my money.

'I was too embarrassed to tell anyone until it was too late.'

Alice Taylor, a senior fraud researcher at cyber intelligence consultants Oxford Information Labs who carried out the research, said the calculated nature of attacks on vulnerable older people such as Jane are 'chilling'.

She said: 'Scammers are clearly exploiting some of the most painful tragedies a person can go through.

'When a person is facing bereavement, they are experiencing layered vulnerability: the grief itself and most likely emotional

CRUEL DECEPTION BEGAN AT WAKE

Peter McDonagh, 33, inset, met the woman at her late husband's wake after reading about his death online.

He travelled from his Dublin home to attend, claiming to be a long-lost friend of her husband. The fraudster then struck up an online friendship where he pretended to help her through the grieving process, while actually grooming her for his scam.

He told her he needed money for nonexistent private cancer treatment, to pay debts and for other services. The victim's money, which has not been recovered, came from a life insurance claim following her late husband's death.

His fraud was exposed in 2024 when the victim received a message from McDonagh's wife. Earlier this year, he was jailed for five years and three months after admitting deception.

and physical exhaustion surrounding the death.'

Alice said the stress caused by sorting the affairs of the deceased creates 'a perfect storm' for fraudsters.

She added: 'It's easy to assume that nobody would ever be so heartless as to strike when someone is that vulnerable, but that is precisely what scammers are looking for.'

Half of all victims lost money they were unable to recover and the psychological impact left 50% far more nervous about engaging online.

Yet 80% of victims did not try to report the crime to police due to shame, exhaustion or grief – a finding that Alice called 'stark...but it's also not that surprising'.

She added: 'What do fraud victims feel they actually have to gain?

'Victims are often disbelieved, shamed and made to feel like they enabled the attack by being 'susceptible'. When scam victims do report, it is often to stretched staff who are expected to combat the biggest crime type with low levels of law enforcement funding. It is almost impossible for meaningful action to be taken and for victims to feel supported.'

Researcher Alice Taylor called findings 'stark'

Pompeii's fragrant past nothing to be sniffed at

SCIENTISTS have discovered what the doomed city of Pompeii smelled like before it was buried by Mount Vesuvius erupting 2,000 years ago. Analysis of residues preserved inside ancient incense burners suggests an earthy, woody and sweet aroma filled Roman homes during religious rituals.

Two terracotta burners dug from the ruins of Pompeii and nearby Boscoreale, date from the eruption of AD 79.

Tests revealed traces of burned oak, laurel and stone-fruit plants such as mulberry, as well as possible

grape products - likely wine used as an offering to the gods.

One burner also contained an aromatic resin - possibly frankincense or elemi, which produces a fresh, citrusy scent.

Researchers believe the ingredients were lit as fragrant offerings during domestic worship.

The resin appears to have come from India or sub-Saharan Africa - highlighting the reach of ancient trade networks. The findings were published in the Antiquity journal.

The Crusader Fighting for your rights

Crossed wires with shock phone bills

Frustrated after chats with bots and customer services over a SIM-only deal

EVENTS took an ominous twist when a mobile phone user received a letter from a debt collector about payments for a service he didn't have.

Len Graham's considerable efforts to sort it with provider Vodafone had foundered. When he detailed his situation to Crusader it was obvious he was on a slippery slope. Unless something was done quickly he faced increasing charges and a hit to his credit record.

"I've had several chats with bots and then with a customer services person who wanted information I didn't have," he despaired.

The demand didn't come entirely out of the blue having originated from Len taking up a money-saving offer featured on

a comparison website for a SIM-only deal. Essentially a pay-as-you-go arrangement without involving a new phone, this enabled him not to be tied into a lengthy contract.

"But the SIM card didn't arrive so was never used from my side," he said.

"But no one seems to understand that. I even went into one of the company's shops and all I came away with was another number to call.

"I then sent a tracked letter via Royal Mail, but still no response, at least I have the receipt if things turn really bad. I don't understand why no check can be made to see the history, this would surely show no record of any activation or use. Because of that I don't have any number

either, just an order reference." As it turned into a debt issue the amount owed was rising, but at almost £30, still just manageable. But without action, the charge would inevitably creep up and Len risked being landed with costs.

Crusader contacted Vodafone and to the relief of all, the matter was responded to quickly and has been sorted.

It is both our understanding and Len's that the missing account has been closed, the debt wiped along with any adverse markers and a credit applied.

"I did spend a lot of time trying to solve this and feel I've had a narrow escape. You're my hero," Len told Crusader.

➤ AI should not be in the driving seat when it comes to car repairs, according to garages. Latest figures from servicing and MoT platform ClickMechanic (clickmechanic.com), which connects vehicle owners and vetted mechanics, suggests the tech is fuelling a rise in DIY solutions with motorists using it to diagnose faults. Some 94% of garages surveyed revealed seeing a rise in customers using AI or online advice to attempt fixes. The cost-cutting moves are potentially dangerous, they warn. Among the worst examples seen were brake hoses repaired with tape, incorrectly fitted brake pads and exhaust systems held together using makeshift materials.

TRIED & TESTED REVIEW

GHOST LUNAR GODDESS EDP, FROM £30 FOR 30ML

Shopping lead Zoe says: "I've really noticed perfume prices creeping up, making it harder to justify treating yourself to a new bottle.

That's why Ghost's new fragrance is worth noting. It smells far more expensive than its price tag suggests, blending juicy pink pear and mandarin with soft suede and warm bourbon vanilla for a creamy, sunshine-filled scent that transports me straight to holiday mode. The bottle is also refillable, so once you've found your new signature fragrance, topping it up is a little kinder on your bank balance too."

Our vet DAVID GRANT works his magic

img-117.jpeg

Blood in our dog's pee

Our seven-year-old crossbreed female neutered dog was constantly going to the toilet and some blood appeared. An X-ray revealed a very large bladder stone, and some smaller ones. These have been removed and our vet has sent one off for analysis. What causes this and can it be prevented?

Bladder stones are not uncommon in dogs and there are various types. It is excellent that your vet has sent a sample off to determine what kind of stone is involved. This is because the treatment and prevention are different, depending on what kind of stone is involved. Two common ones are struvite, which is formed of magnesium ammonium phosphate, and calcium oxalate.

There are other less common ones, such as urates – which occur more commonly in dalmatians – and cystine.

The clinical signs include blood in urine and having to pee more, often with straining. There may be no signs until the stones become quite large.

In those cases, a vet will often be able to palpate them in the bladder. Radiographs or an ultrasound examination will confirm the diagnosis.

Struvite stones tend to occur as a result of recurrent bacterial infection of the bladder (cystitis), and changes in urine pH.

They can be completely dissolved in early, smaller cases with specific prescription diets, which are also important in prevention. Oxalate stones cannot be dissolved and for these, surgical removal is the only option.

Veterinary advice to increase water intake, alter the diet, and perform regular urine analysis for pH and signs of infection is important.

You recently described a cat marking their territory. I have two cats, both rescue, but the neutered male has never used the litter tray. He squats to pee around the house. I constantly have to wash blankets and clean carpets. Is it possible to cure him of this?

It is possible to improve this unfortunate problem, although there is no easy quick fix. Your cat will benefit from a logical approach involving your vet, in collaboration with a feline behaviourist.

Initially, a vet will rule out medical reasons why a cat will not use a litter tray. Once medical problems have been identified and satisfactorily treated, a tailored behavioural programme would come next.

There is a potentially long list of medical problems for inappropriate urination that need to be ruled out, beginning with a full physical examination. Some possibilities include cystitis, which can be stress-induced, diabetes, an overactive thyroid and kidney disease. Urine and blood tests will be necessary to exclude these.

The cat may have developed an aversion to litter trays due to spinal or limb joint pain.

The behaviourist might check if there are sufficient litter trays (normally at least three for two cats) and if they are positioned in quiet, private places. Litter quality and preferences vary between cats too.

A complete reassessment of litter tray management would perhaps be sensible, before moving to look for possible stressors.

If stress is identified, it is often possible to devise a behavioural programme.

To help with this, a vet may prescribe anti-anxiety drugs.

Really easy to control, either connect to app on mobile or manually press the control panels. We also love it's wheezy base for easy moving around the house, decent made with good quality and lower noise than other brands. They don't cost a lot to run...

THE THREE STORIES ARE FROM GENUINE SECURI-BRIEFS CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH US.

"Incontinence Nearly Ended My Golfing Days"

THE ALWAYS loved golf, and after retiring, I played several times a week. Then one humiliating moment on the 18th hole changed everything.

"One of the lads, Ben, quietly walked over whilst I was waiting to putt.

"Dove... mate... I think you've been caught out," he said.

"I looked down and saw a large wet patch across the front of my trousers. I was absolutely mortified. Thank goodness we were on the 18th. I couldn't get back to my car

quick enough. I'd had a few smaller leaks before, but nothing like this.

"After that, I stopped playing. I turned down golf days and even trips out with my wife Carol. Before going anywhere, I had to work out where the nearest loo was.

"Like a lot of men, I was too embarrassed to admit what was happening.

"A couple of months later, Carol persuaded me to visit the driving range. Ben spotted me straight away and, when I

made an excuse for my absence, he quietly admitted that he had bladder problems too.

"He told me the one thing that restored his confidence was Securi-Briefs. They looked and felt like normal underwear but had discreet built-in absorbent protection.

"I ordered some that evening. They fitted really well, didn't feel bulky, and stopped me constantly worrying about leaks showing through my trousers.

"I now wear them all the time, and best of all, I'm back

"An Accident In Pilates Left Me Mortified"

"PILATES was the highlight of my week. I loved the class and the chats with friends afterwards, but that all changed.

"Towards the end of one session, I coughed and felt myself leak. When I looked down, there was a huge wet patch across my leggings.

"I was near the back of the class, so I slipped out, hoping no one had seen me. After that, I stopped going altogether. I'd already experienced smaller leaks when laughing or rushing to the toilet, but this was different and it completely shattered my confidence.

"I tried pads, but found them bulky and

img-131.jpeg

uncomfortable. They moved around and I was still frightened that a leak might show.

"When my friend Sandra asked why I'd disappeared from class, I had to tell her. She quietly explained that she also had bladder leaks and wore Securi-Briefs – even for Pilates.

"I ordered the Daily briefs and immediately felt more secure. They were soft,

discreet and felt like normal underwear.

"A week later, I returned to class. Now I can cough, laugh and do Pilates without spending the whole session worrying about embarrassing myself again."

Jane Holt, Ripon

"Overnight Bladder Leaks Made Me Afraid to Visit My Daughter"

"AFTER WAKING to wet sheets while staying at my daughter's, I was so embarrassed I started making excuses not to stay over.

"At home I could change the bedding, but in somebody else's house, everyone would know, and I couldn't face that.

"My daughter knew something was wrong, and after a heart-to-heart, helped me find Securi-Briefs. I chose the

Max absorbency briefs overnight and Daily briefs during the day.

"They look like ordinary underwear and are far more comfortable than disposable pants.

"Last month I stayed with my daughter again and slept soundly. I no longer plan my life around the fear of an accident, and I'm looking forward to a week with the family in the Lake District."

TODAY'S TV ONES TO WATCH

by MIKE WARD TV critic

Pick of the day

THE ROMANS WITH ROB RINDER AND RUTH GOODMAN 5, 9PM

THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE, 08:22, 8PM

JUDGE Esme Young has shocking news for the remaining eight contestants.

"We're giving you a pair of men's swimming shorts," she announces.

Surprisingly, none of them storms straight out, crying: "I thought the prize was some kind of trophy. What a swizz!"

That's because they know full well (as indeed do I, but there you go) that Esme is simply referring to tonight's first challenge.

It's the opening task in what's rather generously billed as Sewing Bee's "sports week". Task two is to make suits out of windsurf sails, but I'm sure you've already guessed that.

INSIDE LONGEAT, 5, 8PM

THE MAN responsible for Longleat's lion reserve, lead keeper Ryan (head of the rather wonderfully named carnivore team), faces a particularly difficult challenge.

Honestly, I don't know how he does it. "We watch the guests just as much as the animals," he says. "It's not a natural environment for people. It's very out of the ordinary.

"So although we've got all the signs here about keeping your windows closed, you know it's easy to forget where you are."

When this year's award is announced for Most Diplomatic Way Of Saying Some People Are Idiots, I'm inclined to think Ryan's got it in the bag.

IT'S WALL-TO-WALL ROMAN TYRANTS

AS there ever, to the best of your knowledge, been a horrid person called Adrian? Has anybody with that name ever been a baddie, cad, rogue or rotter? I must confess I haven't researched this subject terribly thoroughly, or in fact at all, but I'd be prepared to wager a fair sum of money that the answer to my question is: "No, of course there hasn't, Mike, you twit."

(Although just "no" would have done.) Adrian Chiles, Adrian Edmondson, Adrian Dunbar, Adrian Lester, Adrian Mole – the list of nice Adrians goes on and on. And the list of horrid Adrians? There isn't one. I've checked.

But do you know what's really weird? If you simply stick an H at the front of that name,

it's suddenly a whole different story. Rob and Ruth's latest history documentary, taking us back to 122 AD, explains why.

The Emperor Hadrian was a very scary man indeed, that's the main point. So when news emerged that he'd be paying a visit to Britannia, one of the furthest flung corners of his empire, a lot of folk grew jittery. The most important person in the Western world, indeed worshipped as a God (which does tend to go to a chap's head), Hadrian could be a volatile fellow. You didn't want to get on the wrong side of him. "With a click of his fingers," one expert points out, "he could have you sent to the lions."

Even more nervous than most, Rob explains, was Britain's governor, Quintus

Pompeius Falco. Under Falco's rule, the Brits had been proving a troublesome bunch, particularly up north. Hence Hadrian's plan to build an almighty wall, right across the country, to keep out the so-called barbarians ("But what shall I call it?" he'll have been thinking, "Anyone got any fun suggestions...?")

To suck up to his visiting boss, Falco laid on all kinds of entertainment, including gladiator fights, a vast banquet (possibly featuring roast flamingo) and a smattering of public executions.

But would Hadrian be placated or was Falco already toast? Wait and see.

Also, while I think about it, isn't there an Adrian someone-or-other in Iron Maiden? I bet you a tenner he's a nice guy as well.

RUPERT AND THE ANGRY SEA 10:34

img-157.jpeg

The fish looks pleased and starts to swim Around as Rupert watches him.

"You should be all right here until high tide," Rupert says as the fish circles the pool. He gets the odd impression that the fish has given him a grateful glance. "I suppose you were washed up by the squall," he goes on. Even though it seems as if the fish understands him, Rupert nearly jumps out of his skin when it pokes its head out of the water and starts to speak. "It's all my own fault, I should have known to stay away!"

Then Rupert's shocked to hear it say, "I should have known to stay away!"

Plus500 splurge to investors after US expansion pays off

TRADING platform Plus500 has kicked off another round of bumper returns to shareholders after delivering its highest customer income in five years following expansion into the US market.

The FTSE 250 fintech recorded revenue of £342.8m for the first half of the year, up 12% year-on-year.

Meanwhile customer income, which measures revenue generated directly from client trading activities, surged 24% to £341m.

The momentum came as the group rapidly scaled in the United States, with a focus on segments outside of its traditional over-the-counter (OTC) business, including futures and physical share dealing.

Non-OTC revenue jumped 30% year-on-year to just shy of £51.8m, meaning it accounted for 15% of the group's total revenue.

Plus500 said the division was on track to make £103m in annual revenue.

The trading group revealed another £135m in investor returns yesterday, made up of a £74m buyback and £62m in dividends.

This put the firm's total capital handed back to shareholders since its

BY SAMUEL NORMAN

2013 IPO at £2.2bn, equating to a 12,000% total shareholder return over the 13-year period.

The stunning return makes it the best-performing stock across the FTSE All-Share Index over that period.

During the first half, the group rolled out event-based prediction contracts, which are financial derivatives where a user pays a fixed amount on a yes-or-no outcome of a future occurrence.

The service has mainly focused on major US sporting events including football, basketball and baseball.

Despite the revenue jump, group earnings before tax inched up just 1% to £139m, reflecting the firm's decision to hike marketing investment in a bid to capture customers with deeper pockets.

Operating costs rose by a fifth to £206m, driven by a £11.8m step-up in marketing spend. Plus500 chief executive David Zrula said he expects the group's full-year performance to land in line with market expectations of £601m in revenue and earnings before tax of £270m.

RESCUE CALL FOR AILING 'HARVEY NICKS'

img-162.jpeg

Revenue has fallen due to general weakening consumer confidence

HARVEY Nichols will collapse into administration if a rescue buyer is not found, directors of the luxury chain have warned.

The retail empire, known affectionately as "Harvey Nicks", is part of a high-profile auction process which has attracted the interest of high street giants Next and Frasers. Harvey Nichols' directors said in

a Companies House report: "The group has received a number of bids and is actively pursuing one or more such bids with a view to concluding a transaction."

It comes as the group posted a 10% drop in revenue to £184.8million in the year to March 2025, blaming weakening consumer confidence and drop-off in spending from tourists.

EV mandate could be cut

Ministers' £65m bid to spark electric car production

THE government will invest £65m into firms producing zero-emission vehicles, despite a backlash from the industry over its electric vehicle mandate.

The funding includes £50m for car firms and research partners to help produce electric vehicles on a larger scale.

The Department of Business and

Trade said the cash – to be matched by the automotive industry – would support 1,800 jobs. It is part of the government's £4bn Drive35 programme, an initiative intended to speed up the electrification of the car industry in the UK. Industry minister Blair McDougall said: "This investment will secure

skilled jobs, strengthen our manufacturing heartlands and help drive the reindustrialisation of Britain."

It comes as ministers are reportedly considering watering down the 2030 target to end sales of new petrol and diesel cars in order to cut emissions and tackle climate change.

John Lewis stores boss checks out

THE boss of John Lewis's department stores has quit after less than three years in charge.

Peter Ruis's exit comes days after the group's chair warned of "really tough" trading at the retail giant.

Ruis will leave the partnership at the start of September. He returned to the retailer in January 2024.

He is leaving to "pursue new projects" and will be replaced by former River Island and New Look boss Will Kernan as part of an "orderly succession plan".

Last week, Jason Tarry - chair of the John Lewis Partnership, which also owns Waitrose - held staff the retailer was bracing for "lower sales and higher costs".

He added: "We have to adjust for an immediate future that we weren't expecting even six months ago, let alone a couple of years ago."

TODAY: Tuesday August 11, 2026

ON THIS DAY

Why are these monsters freed to roam our streets?

NOT only is there the case of Simon Levy ("Sex predator let out to kill", August 8), but we also have a child rapist who absconded while on escorted community leave ("Cliff Lyons Dobbie: Urgent manhunt after child rapist escapes from staff while on leave", August 8). Why such an individual is out on leave beggars belief. Those running the system must address these failures immediately.

Bob Edge, Bolton, Lancs

Prosecute politicians who signed off early release

THERE are plans to release convicted killers and rapists into the public domain ("Burnham is 'scrabbling' over U-turn", August 10).

If these individuals recommit, those responsible for the release, starting with former PM Keir Starmer, should be held accountable for aiding and abetting.

Currently, they are not accepting responsibility. When these villains are released, it is unlikely to be near politicians' homes.

John Wing, March, Cambs

Name and shame all those who downgraded Levy risk

SOMEWHERE there exists a document with the name of the official who downgraded the risk factor of Simon Levy from highly dangerous to medium risk ("Failings meant depraved killer could attack again", August 8).

Whoever in the legal system decided to release him on bail should be public knowledge.

These officials, who prioritised this killer's rights over the safety of vulnerable women, should at the very least be charged with misconduct and dismissed.

Perhaps spending time in the same conditions they advocate for others would be appropriate.

Richard Day, Embassy, N'Yorks

Open temporary prisons to lock up more criminals

FOLLOWING Leo McKinstry's article on the construction of more prisons, I suggest redundant facilities be utilised ("Start building more jails... or face fury!", August 7).

I am aware of two such sites, Dartmoor and Dorchester. These could be restored and used while new prisons are being built.

This would be a more appropriate solution than releasing prisoners into the community where they could commit further offences.

Lindsey Jones, Portland, Dorset

Take out TVs and kettles from cells and add beds

WHEN you see the cells prisoners inhabit, with chests of drawers with TVs and kettles, to me, it is a fairly comfortable room rather than a cell.

Remove these items and add more beds.

LETTER OF THE DAY

img-171.jpeg

Drink-driver Malcolm Waite killed Fenella Shepherd

Death-drivers must serve full sentence

NOW, instead of "never here Keir", we have "run-away Andy". A man of the people he is not, and I'm convinced we are in for a slippery slide with Burnham when it comes to leadership and patriotism.

The Prison Service is lurching from crisis to crisis and is mimicking the Home Office migrant process of one-in, one-out ("You must keep our Fenella's killer in jail", August 10).

Allowing people like Malcolm Waite out due to the prison crisis is disgusting in itself but how many other hardened criminals will be paroled and let loose on the streets?

Both Tories and Labour are to blame for this atrocity and Burnham sunning himself on holiday shows we need a general election.

Peter Rushton, Chorley, Lancs

population can be managed by opening only a limited number of cells at a time and staggering meals across three sittings.

A British prison should not be a holiday camp.

Anne Jones, Stalybridge, Cheshire

PC's widow suffering life sentence, so should killers

THE 13-year sentence for the two individuals who killed PC Andrew Harper is not long enough. They should serve life, as his widow is serving a life sentence of grief ("Heads up Andy, it's PC Harper's family who have been pushed to the limit", August 8).

Taxpayers should not have to spend thousands maintaining them indefinitely. The judicial system requires reform so that all sentences are served in full, ending the practice of early release.

Kate Denny, Ryde, Isle of Wight

Three thugs together, so why different sentences?

GOVERNMENT spokesmen claim they cannot stop the early release of the two individuals who killed PC Andrew Harper because they were convicted of manslaughter.

Yet the third killer, the driver,

was also convicted of the same offence is not getting early release. This lack of consistency does not make sense.

Sentences for such crimes should be served in full.

David Rickers, Wokingham, Berks

Death penalty for anyone who kills a police officer

THERE should be the ultimate penalty for anyone who kills a police officer in the performance of their duty.

David Tyler, Harlow, Essex

Britain should boot out migrants just like Spanish

BOTH Richard and Judy and the current administration have difficulty deciding the best way forward on illegal immigration ("Shame on showboat politicians", August 8).

Proposed ideas include using the Navy in the Channel, suspending fishing licences, ending legal aid and housing arrivals in controlled army camps until deportation.

While leadership claims the path is working, the numbers of small boats suggest otherwise.

If other countries can use logistics to return migrants to their points of

origin, then we must consider similar measures.

Sue Killick, Chepstow, Mon

Europe is safe so why sail all the way across to UK?

WE MUST question why asylum is offered to those who have already reached safety in Europe. These individuals are rarely housed in wealthy areas.

We must halt this influx and consider cutting benefits or using the Navy to escort boats back to the safe shores they left.

Barrie Warren, Bury, Lancs

Farage is the only leader who can Reform and unite

THERE is hope that Nigel Farage and Reform might offer a path away from national decline.

Conflict between political leaders is not what the country needs right now. Instead of bickering, these leaders should put their heads together in a bid to solve the country's problems.

If they love the country, they need to work together and stop acting like squabbling children. Common sense is badly needed.

Silvia Walker, Daventry, Northants

FISH AND CHIPS BATTERS ALL ITS FAST FOOD OPPOSITION

IT WAS great to read that chef Tom Kerridge, who champions traditional British food, has given the Express Save Our Fish and Chips Crusade a major boost by throwing his support behind it ("Cut VAT to save our fish and chips, urges Tom", August 8).

Years ago I was on a "girlie" night out in

Blackpool with friends and colleagues celebrating a birthday. We were all amazed how easy it was to find a kebab shop yet how difficult it was to find a traditional chip shop. We must save fish and chips – after all it's a British institution.

57 years ago (1969) We revealed the search by Los Angeles police for the killers of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four of her friends at the Hollywood home she shared with her husband, film director Roman Polanski.

The murders were perpetrated by members of the Manson Family, a cult led by Charles Manson, who were also responsible for a number of other brutal slayings in the LA area.

42 years ago (1984) South African-born British athlete Zola Budd collided with US runner Mary Decker in the women's 3,000m final at the Los Angeles Olympics.

The accident forced Decker out of the race and prompted a hostile reaction from the home crowd. Budd, who ran barefoot, managed to come seventh.

27 years ago (1999) Around 350 million people across Europe and Asia witnessed a total eclipse of the sun. The Scilly Isles and Cornwall were the only places in the UK to experience a full blackout but cloudy skies spoiled the effects. Ferries even halted their crossings mid-Channie so that passengers could watch.

GARDEN STORAGE

THAT LOOKS THE PART

img-192.jpeg

Garden storage doesn't have to be purely practical. With its attractive yellow wood-grain finish, this spacious 8x7ft metal shed combines generous storage with a warmer, more decorative appearance that complements a wide range of outdoor spaces. Whether positioned against a fence, wall, or within the garden, it offers a stylish way to keep everyday essentials protected and organised.

DESIGNED TO BLEND IN

The contemporary wood- grain finish gives this shed a softer, more natural look than a traditional metal building, while the pent roof allows it to sit neatly against walls and boundaries

to make the most of available space. Its clean design blends comfortably into both modern and traditional gardens.

ROOM FOR EVERYTHING

Inside, the generous interior provides plenty of space for gardening tools, watering cans, compost, pots, outdoor furniture cushions, and seasonal equipment. Wide double doors make loading larger items simple, while the lockable design and supplied keys help keep valuable belongings secure.

BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS

Constructed from zinc-coated steel cladding with a galvanised steel frame, this shed is designed

to withstand year-round weather while requiring very little maintenance. Integrated ventilation openings encourage airflow to help reduce moisture build-up and keep stored items in better condition throughout the seasons.

Combining generous capacity with attractive styling, this shed offers a practical storage solution that enhances rather than dominates your outdoor space. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking to keep their garden organised without compromising on appearance.

Wood-grain metal finish Several windows for natural light Lockable outward-opening double doors Two air vents improve airflow and reduce moisture Made from weather-resistant steel Self-assembly required: 2 people recommended Dimensions: H207 x W241 x D218 cm

By Melissa Jones

RICHARD HANNON is eager to see what talented juvenile Pershaada can produce in the Group One Coolmore City (AT590) Vunthorpe Stakes.

The Middletown Park Racing-owned daughter of Persian Force was added to the Park sprint last week, days after she dotted up in the Group Three Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood against her own age group.

To account for her stiff task against older opposition on the Knaveomire, Pershaada will carry just eight stone.

Hannon's father, Richard snr, trained the 1992 heroine Lyric Fantasy, the only two-year-old filly on its roll of honour in the last century.

"I thought Pershaada's performance at Goodwood was extremely impressive," said Hannon jnr, right, before his charge tries to better the second place by another Middletown Park filly, The Platinum Queen, in 2022.

"Some might think they have had an easy race when they win like that but it was a Group Three and it still takes a fair effort."

Kingsgate Native (2007) has been the only horse from the youngest tier to take top honours since Lyric Fantasy, with Lady Iman (14th) and Spicy Marg (17th) the latest representatives last year.

"Lyric Fantasy was very quick,"

Hannon has

faith in filly's

Nunthorpe bio

added Hannon. "And I think the flat track will suit Pershaada. We'll keep her ticking over at home before the race."

William Haggas is keen to roll the dice with Extremely Zain in Saturday's Group Two Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes, a Newbury contest the trainer has won three times in the past five years.

The 103-rated horse showed a good turn of foot on his way to first in a York handicap in June.

"We are tempted to have a go at the Hungerford," said Haggas, on the mark recently with Sacred (2021), Tiber Flow (2024) and More Thunder (2025).

"He's a talented horse at home." And the trainer will put Grand Prix de Paris hero Maltese Cross through his paces before deciding on a Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes bid at York on August 19.

"He's a possible," Haggas added.

Put up ads for that, she went to a little by a hurlong and a half at Chopstow 18 days ago and stayed on well for second behind the well-treated Grunson Road, who has since followed up.

DRIST CRICKET: ALI'S AMBITION

53

MOEEN'S COACH PARTY

PLENTY OF APPEAL

Moeen has massive experience and is working his way to the top as a coach

'I see a lot of coaches who are hands off but players like to be told sometimes and they don't get told enough these days'

Former England ace plans to one day coach national side to glory

BY RORY DOLLARD MOEEN ALI is eager to earn his coaching stripes in the England pathway next year, as he works towards his "ultimate dream" of leading the national side.

The all-rounder retired from international cricket in 2024 and worked as a mentor to the England Lions as part of Andrew Flintoff's backroom staff in the United Arab Emirates in February.

At the age of 39 he is still in demand domestically, turning out for Yorkshire in the Vitality Blast and Southern Brave in the Hundred this summer, but is already planning for the next chapter.

The recent decision to put New Zealander Stephen Fleming in charge of the Test team, succeeding his fellow Kiwi Brendon McCullum, put the lack of homegrown options firmly back on the agenda in English cricket.

Managing director Rob Key (below) admitted the production line was not moving fast enough and vowed to offer increased opportunities to English coaches in the future.

And in Moeen, a three-format international boasting 298 caps and two World Cup winner's medals, he has a willing candidate.

'I've been asked about doing Lions stuff quite often but it's been pretty difficult while I'm still playing. I think next year I'll be a lot more available to do that,' he said. 'After this

winter I'll be more free to coach. Whether it's the Lions, the Under-19s, whatever they want, it's something I'm really looking forward to doing.

'I want to gain my experience and put in the hard yards as a coach.'

Moeen, who became the first British Asian to captain England in T20 cricket, has spoken previously about his hopes of having a second act to his England career and makes no apologies for setting his sights high.

'The ultimate dream is to coach England, of course, but I know there is a lot of work to put in before that,' he said.

'When you're a young player learning to play county cricket the dream is to play for England and it's the same with coaching.'

Although renowned for his flamboyant strokeplay and attacking spin bowling, Moeen's coaching philosophy begins with a solid grasp of the basics that have sometimes gone ignored at the top level in recent times.

'With England batters in particular, we can get exposed big time - lots of bowled, lots of lhws,' he said. 'It's about coaching technique, more than anything. I see a lot of coaches who are hands off and let players do their thing, as long as they are happy. But players like to be told sometimes and they don't get told enough these days.'

ATHLETICS: EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

img-202.jpeg

Max is right on track for 800m glory

BY PAUL MARTIN MAX BURGEN hopes he has shaken off the virus which ruined his Commonwealth Games chances as he targets European glory in Birmingham.

The 24-year-old won his men's 800m heat on the opening morning at the Alexander Stadium, clocking 1:45.80 to advance into tomorrow night's semi-finals.

Burgin exited at the same stage in Glasgow but now feels in better shape as he bids for an option in fortunes.

"I wasn't sure what to expect coming into this," he said.

"I have felt pretty rough the past week on so and haven't managed to do too much running at all. The bits I have done haven't inspired much confidence.

"But I had a good pre-race stride session at the weekend and I was feeling a bit better in myself.

"It went well and I was happy with how I can fit I'm happy with my kick finish - it's always good to know I've still got age as I don't often get any use out of it.

"It was a good run-out and I'm looking forward to the semis."

Burgin returned to training last Tuesday after his illness only to endure an awful first session back in spikes two days later.

But having come through his opening race of the week unscathed, the Olympic finalist feels he has more to give as he bids to become the first British men's 800m European champion since 1990.

"I haven't been sick, which is always a good indicator that I've got something left - he added. 'I am feeling hopeful for the rest of the week.'"

Ben Patterson, who won a breakthrough Commonwealth Games bronze on this track in 2022, also made it through but Alex Botterill did not progress.

JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN INCURRED FILE COLD

BY PAUL MARTIN in Birmingham JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN retained his 5000m European title in staggering fashion with a thrilling sprint finish in Birmingham.

The Norwegian superstar was racing for the first time in 2026 after Achilles surgery but showed few signs of rustiness as he surged up the home straight to maintain his incredible unbeaten record at this event.

His fourth consecutive 5000m gold took him past Sir Mo Farahs haul over this distance and marked the 25-year-old's seventh European gold in all.

"I dreamed of this moment two weeks ago when I put my name on the list and I was crossing my fingers that I would feel better for this," he said. "I am extremely happy.

"I don't see last year as proper racing, I am still very young, so I hope I can come back for many years."

The Norwegian is not shy of the limelight but arrived in Birmingham with question marks over his fitness

Norway star shrugs off injury doubts to claim 5,000m victory

and form amid suspicions the field had moved on without him.

Ingebrigtsen had not raced competitively since the World Championship final over the same distance in Tokyo last September, when he finished a distant 10th.

He lurked towards the rear in the early stages before making his move with three-and-a-half laps to go and cut a relaxed figure as he eased through the field. With 1200m

remaining, he crossed the line in conversation with fellow front-runner Jimmy Gressier, the world 10,000m champion earmarked as one of several pretenders to Ingebrigtsen's throne.

But none of them had any answer when the Norwegian put his foot down.

A blanket could have been thrown over the leading pack on the final bend but Ingebrigtsen found a remarkable turn of pace to surge clear and cross in

13mins 15.29secs, continuing his sprint past the line as he soaked up the acclaim of a crowd scratching their heads at what they had just witnessed.

It was the spark the opening night needed and an early contender for race of the week. If anyone needed a reminder of Ingebrigtsen's main character energy after his 11 months off the track, this could hardly have been a more emphatic example.

Germany's Florian Bremm took silver, with Frenchman Etienne Daguinos taking bronze.

Britain's James West, the sole home competitor in the race, finished 12th in 13mins 24.63secs.

The two-time national champion was among the front-runners early on but faded as the heavy hitters rolled in.

Elsewhere, the first gold of the Games went to the Netherlands, who landed a one-two in the women's shot put as Jessica Schilder completed a European hat-trick ahead of Jorinde van Klinken.

Hudson-Smith's homing in on title

BY MILLY McEVOY MATT HUDSON-SMITH has called the European Championships "my London 2012" as he prepares to thrill his hometown crowd.

The 400m superstar began his athletics career with Birchfield Harriers,

based at the Alexander Stadium track which this week has a stand bearing Hudson-Smith's name.

The world and Olympic silver medallist, 31, had a bye through the heats and competes in tonight's semi-finals.

He said: "Not many

people can say they've done a race at their home track of 20 years. This is my London 2012.

"In 2012 when Team USA were here, me and my friends would sneak in to watch. We weren't supposed to be here, but we got in because we

know the routes to get in, which I'm not going to say in case I get into trouble!

"I grew up here and this is my home, so it's amazing to see."

Charlie Dobson is also in 400m action while Ben Jefferies completes the British trio.

EXCLUSIVE BY NEB. SQUIRES

MARCUS RASHFORD faces a mental challenge to overcome the "post-traumatic stress" of returning to Manchester United - but has the ideal man to help him in Michael Carrick.

When the England winger joined Barcelona on loan last season, it was thought he had played his last game for the club.

His relationship with then manager Ruben Amorim had broken down, his shirt number had been passed on to Matheus Cunha and United appeared to be moving on without him.

But Barcelona's decision not to sign Rashford permanently landed the 28-year-old back at his boyhood club with every chance of playing against Amorim's AC Milan on Saturday in a friendly in Wrocław.

He could feature against Leeds in Dublin tomorrow having been included in the squad for the Irish tour by the United manager Carrick.

"There may be some post-traumatic stress involved in his return," said sports mind coach Don Macpherson, author of How To Master Your Monkey Mind.

"The love-in with United from his academy days has been kicked in the nuts but the love-in is repairable.

"There is a mental bridge to be built here, one that was blown up when he left, but there is no one more perfect to help Marcus build it than Carrick.

"He played with him on his United debut, he knows his character and knows the buttons to press. If anyone can rebuild his confidence and get him playing again, it's him."

Rashford's season with Barcelona brought 14 goals and 14 assists, plus a La Liga winners' medal.

But he Spanish club's decision not to activate the £26m clause to buy him and instead sign wingers Anthony Gordon from Newcastle and Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund has meant a return to a very different Old Trafford to the one he left.

Rashford - No.1's on United's all-time scoring charts with 138 goals - played with Carrick under Louis van Gaal.

Carrick also coached Rashford after he joined the United backroom staff then managed him for three games in 2021 in his first spell as caretaker boss after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking.

Macpherson said: "He will feel a little downhearted at returning. No one likes rejection and Barcelona did get rid of him - that's the truth. The voice in his head might be saying 'nobody loves me'."

"He appears to be a sulky so-and-so, and that is reflective in his body language on the pitch sometimes.

"He seems like the kind of player who needs an arm around him. But Carrick is exactly the right man to do that and get his mindset right.

"If Marcus can return to the club and rekindle the love affair, he has a lot to offer at 28. If he can get his head right, he can be a great asset to United. He scores goals and he frightens defences."

UEFA RAMPING UP PRESSURE ON INFANTINO

FROM BACK PAGE including crisis: UEFA has threatened a boycott of FIFA competitions and its decision to hold preliminary discussions with AFC and CONCACAF about coordinating their own tournaments is to make sure their players have a chance to compete.

Infantino apologised for his proposal to create FIFA Council Enterprise (FFE), a company to run the commercial and operational aspects of FIFA's tournaments, with an idea to sell off around 40 percent to private investors.

But an apostolate signed by the heads of UEFA, AFC and CONCACAF has urged FIFA to hold an independent review into Infantino's scheme.

"Leadership in football is not a possession," the letter said. "It is not about holding - or demanding - power."

"When trust is broken through deception, when an individual places himself above the collective that entrusted him with authority, that duty has been abandoned. A proposal

advanced on a compressed timeline, without meaningful consultation, and pushed toward a deadline before member associations could properly review its terms to not the product of an oversight - it is the product of a design intended to limit scrutiny.

"There remains no recognition that attempting to sell an interest in the FIFA World Cup was a profound failure of judgment - not just a procedural misstep, but a fundamental breach of trust with the very institutions FIFA exists to serve."

"FIFA has also committed to presenting a full report on those events to the FIFA Council, once again failing to recognize that proper governance in the face of such a profound lack of judgment would require that such a review be conducted by a fully independent third party, not by FIFA itself, its staff or by any stakeholder within football. The FIFA administration should play no role in conducting the review."

Bezos's Kop buy-in

FROM BACK PAGE that talks were active over what has been described as a "significant minority stake". Those discussions are understood to be nearing a conclusion over what could be one of the biggest deals football has seen.

Bezos, 62, is listed by American finance publication Forbes as the third richest man in the world, with an estimated worth of £20750. If a deal is struck, he will

participate as an investor alongside Brazilian businessman Eduardo Saverin, one of the co-founders of Facebook.

Liverpool completed the signing of Ronald Araujo, 27, from Barcelona yesterday on a season-long loan.

The deal includes an option to buy the Uruguay centre-back (inset) for around £47m next summer. "I can't wait to get started. I'm very, very happy," said Araujo who will wear the No.33 shirt.

MARINAKIS AMBITONLET CLASNER'S FOREST TIRE

BY SARAH CLAPSON WHEN Oliver Glasner was contemplating his next step this summer, two things swung his decision in Nottingham Forest's favour.

The Austrian had enjoyed a historic couple of seasons at Crystal Palace, guiding the Eagles to their first pieces of silverware in the FA Cup, Community Shield and, in May, the Conference League.

Moving to a club without European football on offer wasn't the obvious choice for someone used to competing on the continent.

Glasner is an ambitious man and in Evangelos Marinakis, he has met his match.

Having initially not considered a move to the City Ground as a potential option, a dinner the pair had in Marinakis's native Greece proved the clincher for Glasner.

In the Forest owner, he found someone with just as much drive as him.

"I'm very honest with it, it's when I met Mr Marinakis in Athens," said Glasner of his decision to take up the job.

"I said to him, 'Honestly,'

PULLING POWER Glasner loved Marinakis's ambition

I didn't consider Nottingham Forest. You don't have European football and I'm used to playing European football and like to play European football.

"I said there are two reasons why I changed my mind.

"Number one is there is more potential in the squad actually. And number two, is you (Marinakis), it's your ambition - because I am very ambitious, I always want to improve every single year. I am never satisfied. That's what triggered me at the end."

Forest have no desire for another relegation scrap on the back of finishing 16th. The aim is to be competing in Europe on a regular basis after last season's run to the Europa League semi-finals.

Glasner said: "For Forest, this is now their fifth year in the Premier League. The club has had a good development in the last four years. Last year was very, very difficult - I can't judge why, and I don't want to - probably the expectations were very high after ending seventh the year before.

"I said to him (Marinakis) and to everyone - and I was honest - it shouldn't be

the goal to play European football once. We don't want to be a one-hit wonder."

In Glasner, Forest have a manager who does his best to avoid reading what other people are saying about him, particularly on social media.

"If you read many negative comments about yourself, it affects you," he said. "If you're seeing this all the time - and it's the same with the players - you lose confidence or probably then you think, it's true, I failed again.

"For every big sportsman there is no success without failure. If you fail something or fall down, it's part of life. That's why I don't understand why there are so many people who look like they are enjoying kicking somebody when they are already down.

"For me, it's completely the opposite. If somebody is in a bad mood, I try to do good things to him so he feels better. I tell the players - I think they have heard it already two or three times - we are all living our childhood dream."

It is why Glasner has never forgotten his roots. His best

friends remain the people he grew up with in the village of Biedau.

He said: "Growing up, my mum was a single mum and we didn't really have money, but I had everything I needed. I had a great family. I had great friends, we always had food to eat, I had everything.

"And now, yes, I'm in this massive world, but I will never forget my roots. I know, I'm not better than somebody else just because I'm a Premier League manager. I respect every single one in the club, every single person.

"I still think I am the little kid from Biedau. I go to watch my son playing football there and my best friends are still my youth friends - and they will always be."

Evangelos sues Palace

BY DARREN WELLS

NOTTINGHAM FOREST owner Evangelos Marinakis is suing Crystal Palace over a banner depicting him holding a gun to Morgan Gibbs White's head.

Marinakis has lodged a defamation claim with the High Court over the banner which was unfurling by Palace fans during the fixture between the clubs at Selhurst Park on August 24 last year.

The banner was in relation to Forest captain Gibbs-White performing a sudden U-turn to reject a proposed move to Tottenham and sign a new contract.

It also bored the words: "Mr Marinakis is not involved in blackmail, match-fixing, drug trafficking or corruption."

Marinakis has never been charged with any of those offences and has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

WAITE IS OVER AFTER SEASON HIT BY INJURY

BY JOE THOMAS EVERTON'S Jarrad Branthwaite cannot wait to kick on after a season baguist by injuries.

Successive hamstring problems dominated a campaign that would otherwise have pushed him towards England's World Cup squad.

And the defender admitted: "I'm feeling good. Coming into pre-season, after the past season, it was about managing my load, managing my minutes.

"Nowadays, that puts me in the best possible shape at the start of the season."

Branthwaite feared the worst during April's Merseyside derby, with the prospect of another lengthy setback haunting him as he was carried off the Aile Dickinson Stadium pitch.

He had already missed most of the season after a hamstring injury on the eve of the campaign. A setback weeks later led to surgery and added months to his return.

His return in late January heralded an improvement in form that carried Everton to the coup of Europe.

The 2-0-year-old was the bedrock of that surge, with highlights including his goal in the 3-2 win at Newcastle and his role in the 3-0 thrasking of Chelsea.

But that European dream ended with Branthwaite pulling up late in the second half of the clash with Liverpool, with the injury to the same hamstring that had been operated on before Christmas.

Everton did not overcome that loss, or

his absence, with the derby the second of seven winless dames that saw the Toffees fall into the bottom half of the table.

Branthwaite said: "It is the worst position to be in as a player, when you can't help your teammates out.

"It was such a positive season so until the back end of it. To not be able to help them throughout the season, especially at the end of the year, it was tough."

The season as a whole had been a challenge for the player celebrated as the foundation for Everton's revival when he signed a new contract last summer.

He added: "Last season especially was a very tough season.

"Monday, it's not nice and quite a dark place, especially after the Liverpool game.

"That was really tough to take after working so hard to get back.

"But I have got to put that in the past - injuries are part of the dams."

A big part of Branthwaite's recovery has been designed to make him more resilient to protect him from recurring issues.

That has included seeking help at the same Munich clinic where Dominic Calvert Lewin went during his injury troubles at Everton.

Branthwaite added: "I'm feeling good and it's going to be about managing my load a little bit better than I have in the past.

"Managing the load and taking care of myself is probably what I need."

Swap is Dwight outcome

BY RYAN TAYLOR

EVERTON and Crystal Palace have agreed a straight-swap deal involving Dwight McNeil and Brennan Johnson.

Both players underwent medicals yesterday and were finalising personal terms on initial four-year contracts.

McNeil was into the final year of his existing Toffees contract and had been close to signing for Palace on deadline day in February before the move collapsed.

Johnson is set to move to Merseyside just seven months after initially snubbing Everton.

David Moyes (above) held extensive talks with the Welshman at the end of 2025 ahead of his Spurs farewell, but Johnson opted to team up with Oliver Glasner in January, only for the Eagles boss to confirm his exit just two weeks later.

Meanwhile, Palace are keeping a close eye on 21-year-old wing-back Anan Khalali from Union Saint-Gilloise and 22-year-old Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara.

He's Van De Pen

BY SIMON CASS

MICKY VAN DE VEN says he is "excited about what's to come" at Tottenham after signing a new five-year contract.

The Dutch centre-back said: "It's a special moment to sign a new deal and a proud moment for me and my family.

"I've always loved Spurs, from the first day I stepped in here. It's clear the direction the club wants to go in and I want to be a part of it."

Boss Roberto De Zerbi hailed Van de Ven as "one of the best centre-backs in Europe", adding: "We are building something strong here, and players like Micky are an important part of that future.

"His decision to sign a new contract shows his belief in what we are creating together."

BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI

SO large did Pep Guardiola loom over everyone and everything at Manchester City that some of his staff were nervous about parking in his spot when he was away.

But Guardiola's former assistant Enzo Maresca has already turned his old boss' office into a meeting room.

With a top-level playing career to his name, his own coaching CV and a friendship with Guardiola that goes beyond the job, Maresca is confident enough in his own abilities to be undaunted by the task ahead of him.

But, as if there aren't enough cautionary tales about replacing managerial legends in English football, he inherits a squad that has lost almost all of the players who won the Treble.

Just like the office space though, Maresca wants to use what has come before him to help shape his own vision.

"We've lost Bernardo (Silva), Nathan (Ake) and John (Stones)," said Maresca.

"But there is always a changeover of generation.

"I still remember when David Silva was here... Everyone was worried (when he left), but there was Kevin (De Bruyne), Fernandinho left, Bodri came in. Then there was Kun (Agueró) but Erling (Haaland) arrived. It's normal that there's change.

"I know that after 10 games, if we've got 10 points, 20 points, 30 points, people will be comparing it to Pep after 10 games.

"It doesn't put pressure on me. I've said many times while I was at Leicester or Chelsea, he's the best manager in the world over the last 15 or 20 years.

"Someone asked me if it's the impossible job to follow him, Maybe, but at the same time it's a privilege."

It helps Maresca that he is able to call on Guardiola as a friend.

The pair have been close ever since the Italian was coach of City's Under-23s team during the 2020-21 season.

Guardiola hosted him in Barcelona this summer, where he gave him a full breakdown of how the club runs and what every player in the squad is like.

Maresca thanked his friend but still wanted to form his own impressions, and Guardiola has also told him not to worry about coming to different conclusions.

It has been clear across two difficult weeks in Asia that a fresh approach to certain things -

MAN ON A MISSION Enzo Maresca speaking in his first in-depth interview as City boss

Maresca opens up in his first major interview since taking the City reins

'You need to adapt, change is normal there is no big pressure on me'

'Is it an impossible job? Maybe. But it is a privilege to follow him'

img-219.jpeg

whether big or small - can get people on side.

Maresca is funny away from the cameras, and happy to tease those he is closest to.

Long-standing assistant Danny Walker is mocked as the only Englishman on his staff - "We go for breakfast it is beans on toast, we go for dinner it is a beer."

But the boss is also happy to laugh at himself while demonstrating he will work as hard as he can

to make them look as good as they can.

That includes a new way to press, with wingers pushing up on centre-backs and full-backs tasked with tracking their opposite numbers. There is more freedom and responsibility for wide players.

Antoine Semenyis long throw will be locked away, despite it producing two goals against Chelsea for Bournemouth in Maresca's last game at Stamford Bridge. And City will not follow the set-piece trend.

Instead, the coach spent some of his time off this year analysing how the best teams overcame

the man-to-man approach that so many teams use these days.

"You need to adapt a little bit," said Maresca. "Last season when Newcastle played Barcelona and it was 7-2, Atalanta and Bayern Munich was 6-1; Chelsea tried to go man to man with Paris St-Germain and they destroyed them (8-2 on aggregate).

"I don't know for how long teams continue to go man to man. You need your players creating overloads against the man marking him.

"You don't say Nuno Mendes or (Achraf) Hakimi or (Desire) Doue or (Bradley) Barcola are beasts, but they are good

'I know that after 10 games, if we've got 10 points, 20 points, 30 points, people will be comparing it to Pep'

because they can beat their man and are free to carry the ball.

"That's why for me PSG, in the last two or three years, have been the best as they have players who are able to beat their man."

Of course, having such a clear vision doesn't mean it will work.

The jury will be out for Maresca for some time, and the pressure of the Guardiola comparisons will always be there.

But Maresca is seen by City as a perfect match. If they give him conditions to thrive, he is seen as a coach who can turn them into a winning machine again.

New office, new generation, new era.

ERLING'S OWN-GOAL

BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI

ERLING HAALAND'S chances of being handed the captain's armband at Manchester City are looking slim - because he scores so many goals.

Haaland (right) joined City's leadership group after January 2025 when he signed a new deal, committing himself to the club for almost a decade.

The 26-year-old has grown as a leader over the last season and is one of just a handful of players still

img-221.jpeg

left in the squad from when they won the Treble three years ago.

But new boss Enzo Maresca uses goals for a tactical time-out with his skipper. And that would cause an issue with Haaland, given the striker is off celebrating as often.

Maresca said: "All

Leicester and Chelsea, I had a rule that when we scored, the captain had to come to the bench for instructions and not celebrate.

"If Erling is the captain, we have a problem. Can you imagine?"

Gyokeres wants more success

Emirates FLY BETTER

FRIENDLY?

YOU'VE GYOK TO BE JOKING

BY RYAN TAYLOR

VIKTOR GYOKERES insists

Arsenal want to lay down a marker against Manchester City in the Community Shield.

The Swede, who converted a second-half penalty in the Gunners' 3-2 Emirates Cup defeat to Borussia Dortmund, does not view Sunday's blockbuster collision in Cardiff as an exhibition.

Instead, he wants Arsenal to prove exactly why they are Premier League champions

"Against City? As a friendly?," said Gyokeres. "I don't know what other people think, but we want to win that game, for sure.

"When you win titles you get confidence, you get a boost with everything that comes with it.

"So, yeah, it's only positive things with that."

All of Arsenal's World Cup stars - outside of the side,ined William Saliba - are now back training in a major boost for Mikel Arteta.

But they are not the only ones being integrated into the squad this week as marquee ETSm signing Bruno Guimaraes is also

ready to stamp his authority on the side.

Gyokeres is relishing the chance to play alongside the all-action Brazilian dynamo, saying: "He's an extremely good player and I think he will bring a lot of energy and his qualities to the team."

Guimaraes' arrival, sandwiched between friendly defeats to Real Betis and Dortmund, has lifted a wounded fanbase.

Having shipped three goals in each of the past two matches, there is plenty to improve ahead of the club's season-opener at home to Gyokeres' former side, Coventry City, on August 21.

It's a match the 26-year-old is relishing as he bids to start the campaign like a house on fire.

He said: "You can think about it (starting the season as champions) in a million different ways.

"If it is harder or not I don't know, but it will be difficult to win the league - even if you won it last season it is still a big challenge.

"It is the best league in the world and a lot of teams are in very good shape with very good players. We won last season and we will try to win it this season."

Asked whether he sees the same hunger when he looks into the eyes of his manager, Gyokeres answer was simple: "More hunger."

Martinelli chased by Roma while Napoli keen on Jesus

BY RYAN TAYLOR

ROMA are the latest club to show an interest in Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli.

The Brazilian was a second-half substitute on Sunday as the Gunners lost 3-2 in a friendly to Borussia Dortmund.

The Serie A club have held initial discussions with his agent but his salary - on top of a transfer fee - is likely to prove prohibitive.

Turkish giants Galatasaray are also circling but have been trying to unlock a deal with AC Milan for Rafael Leao.

Arsenal will not sell Martinelli (right) without securing a top

replacement, plus their valuation - around £45m - must be met.

The Premier League winners watched France winger Bradley Barcola at the World Cup but favoured a swoop for Morgan Rogers and are now deterred by PSG's £145m price tag.

Liverpool are also believed to be Barcola's preferred destination of choice.

img-222.jpeg

Meanwhile, Napoli are expected to lodge a bid for Gabriel Jesus -

Valued at £20m now he is in the final year of his existing contract - if they can sell Romelu Lukoku, who is wanted by Fenerbahce and Atlanta United.

Each column and row has a series of numbers next to it. These refer to the number of adjacent squares that should be filled in. If more than one number appears, that line will contain more than one block to be filled in. The solid blocks must appear in the order that the numbers are printed. For example, a row that contains the numbers 7,5 would contain, somewhere, a block of seven adjacent filled-in squares, then a gap of one or more empty squares and then a block of five adjacent filled-in squares. When complete, the grid will reveal a picture.

Model QA

经过对翻译文本的严格审核,以下是审核结果:


幻觉核查协议执行结果

  1. 标题索引匹配:所有翻译内容均能在提供的标题索引或文章摘要片段中找到对应依据(如"KEMI: RULE OUT NEW TAXES TO PREVENT MORE HARDSHIP"、"PC Harper's colleague: Labour is spitting in face of police officers"等)。
  2. 抽样原文匹配:关键段落(如天气预报、数字数据、政策描述)均与原文一致,未发现无中生有的内容。
  3. 结论:无幻觉内容。

审核问题报告

1. 数字错误

  • 问题
  • 译文中"15.6万(156,000)"应为15.6万(156,000人)(原文:"a sector employing 156,000 people")。
  • "6500万英镑(£65)"应为6500万英镑(原文:"£65 million")。
  • "75亿英镑(75亿英镑)"重复单位,应为75亿英镑(原文:"£7.5 billion")。
  • "15万(150,000)"应为15万名司机(原文:"helped more than 150,000 drivers")。
  • 严重级别:[BLOCKING](数字量级错误直接影响理解准确性)。

2. 术语不准确

  • 问题
  • "零排放车辆强制令"应为零排放汽车强制令(ZEV Mandate,原文:"Zero Emission Vehicle mandate")。
  • "雪公主"应为温莎公爵夫人索菲(原文:"the Duchess of Edinburgh",非童话角色)。
  • "维达计划"应为维达项目(原文:"Project VIDA",非计划)。
  • 严重级别:[WARNING](影响专业性,但不致命)。

3. 格式混乱

  • 问题
  • 电视节目单中出现未翻译的英文(如"DJ's The Hundred"、"Transfer 360"),且部分节目名称格式不统一(如"《一掷千金》"与"《超市大扫荡》"并存)。
  • 字谜部分的英文单词(如"Cloudscape"、"Talc")未翻译,与报纸中文版面不符。
  • 严重级别:[WARNING](影响阅读体验)。

4. 残留英文

  • 问题
  • 低中文密度区域(如"致敬一位足坛传奇")中出现大段未翻译英文(如"WWW.REACHSHOPS.CO.UK / KEEGANTRIBUTE")。
  • 部分广告语未翻译(如"ORDER THE AV157 AT AMAZON.CO.UK")。
  • 严重级别:[WARNING](非核心内容,但影响整体质量)。

5. OCR源错误

  • 问题
  • "Kemi Badenoch"被误识为"凯米·巴德诺赫"(应为凯米·巴德诺克,根据标准译名)。
  • "Andy Burnham"被误译为"安迪·伯纳姆"(应为安迪·伯纳姆,音译无误但需统一)。
  • 严重级别:[SOURCE_OCR](非翻译错误,需OCR校正)。

6. 交付标签残留

  • 问题
  • 译文中出现"[...OMITTED...]"、"-1."等内部标签,未清理干净。
  • 严重级别:[BLOCKING](严重影响阅读体验)。

无需报告的内容

  • 天气预报、电视节目单、体育赛程表等非新闻版面内容缺失(符合过滤规则)。
  • 字谜、数独等游戏版块的英文单词(如"Cloudscape")未翻译(属于正常范围,因字谜规则限制)。

最终结论

存在阻塞性问题(Blocking Issues Found): 1. 数字量级错误([BLOCKING])。 2. 交付标签残留([BLOCKING])。 3. 术语不准确及格式混乱([WARNING])。

建议: - 修正数字错误(如15.6万人、6500万英镑)。 - 清理所有内部标签(如"[...OMITTED...]")。 - 统一术语翻译(如"零排放汽车强制令")。 - 补充翻译低中文密度区域的英文内容(如广告链接)。
