Peter 购买的房车价值（左）已被注销。 在今年早些时候承认挪用苏格兰民族党超过 £400,000 资金。他被判处五年以上监禁。在将 绳之以法（并洗清了 Sturgeon 女士和前财务主管 Colin Beattie 嫌疑）的长期“分支形式行动”警方调查期间，停在 Fife 其母亲家中的这辆房车成为了被蔑视和嘲笑的对象。最初的说法是该车辆将在新冠疫情期间用于苏格兰民族党的竞选活动，但法院记录显示， 在购买该车前后购买了多本房车度假指南。苏格兰民族党将寻求“从有罪方追回全部挪用金额”的犯罪所得听证会预计将于下月举行。苏格兰保守党财政发言人 Craig Hoy 表示：“他们技术上仍欠那个贪腐的 Peter £60,000，这令人震惊。他们那辆臭名昭著的露营车现在已经走到了尽头，在成为 最昂贵的犯罪购物品后，其价值缩水了一半以上。如果连苏格兰民族党的支持者都在失去信心，那么 [苏格兰民族党首席部长] John Swinney 是时候抛弃他对独立之道的执念，专注于对苏格兰人真正重要的事情了。”

英国公民被发现于行李箱内，嫌疑人出庭

作者：尼克·福布斯（NICK FORBES）

代表一名被指控杀害一名死于行李箱内的苏格兰女性的男子的律师，已请求法院从英国获取其医疗记录。来自爱丁堡的援助工作者伊丽莎白-简·罗斯（Elisabeth-Jane Ross），38岁，于7月18日在希腊雅典的一栋废弃建筑中被发现。阿富汗拳击手沙里夫·艾哈迈德扎伊（Sharif Ahmadzai），26岁，被指控蓄意杀人，以及持有武器和抢劫罪。艾哈迈德扎伊昨天在雅典出庭时，未对任何指控提交辩护，保持沉默。他的律师克里斯托斯·埃尔达斯（Christos Erdas）表示，这是因为他们正在等待医疗证据提交至法院。希腊警方上周表示，罗斯女士被发现时，尸体上没有受伤或受害的迹象。目前正在进行进一步检测，以确定她是否被窒息而死。警方表示，调查人员在审查监控录像后拘留了该嫌疑人。

女性面临刺伤指控

“……面临着那些摧毁了他们童年的男人被提前释放的前景，因为没有人正确考虑这项政策的影响，也没有在多年前意识到我们需要更多监狱名额时采取行动！”

在发现一个明显漏洞后，伯纳姆先生已介入并触发对工党提前释放计划的审查——在2003年反诱导法律生效前在布拉德福德袭击年轻女孩的强奸团伙成员，将从这项旨在缓解监狱过度拥挤的计划中获益。揭露了罗奇代尔儿童性虐待丑闻的前大曼彻斯特警察局侦探奥利弗女士表示：“对于诱导团伙的受害者来说，这感觉像是又一次背叛。”

“这些孩子在需要保护时被辜负了，在随后的数年里，他们被刑事司法系统辜负了。”

“最让我担心的是这种情况一直在发生。”

“一次又一次，政府只有在公众发现明显缺陷并大声疾呼以强迫其采取行动后，才会应对我们的国家紧急情况！”

这并非有效的领导力，而是严重的忽视和无能，并且在持续破坏公众的信任。

“在这些变更公布之前，似乎没有对谁可能从中受益进行适当的审查。当公众安全和受害者对司法系统的信心受到威胁时，这根本不够。”

保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）表示：“我昨晚写信给安迪·伯纳姆，警告他的政策将导致强奸团伙的犯罪者提前出狱。”

“作为回应，首相又发起了一次审查。”

“在安迪·伯纳姆采取常识性做法并禁止所有这些怪物提前释放之前，我们还需要多少次审查？”

巴德诺克女士补充道：“勇敢的幸存者在这个过程中经历了地狱——他们理应得到更好的对待。”

预计将有约 5,000 名罪犯在旨在缓解监狱拥挤的量刑变更下被提前释放。在部长们介入并排除强奸犯、“严重”儿童性犯罪者以及被判定犯有诱拐罪的掠夺者之前，原定在服刑期满前被释放的总人数为 6,000 人。

但一些团伙成员被判定犯有猥亵罪——这涵盖了除侵入性性行为之外的所有行为。该罪名并未被列入工党释放计划的豁免名单，因此这一漏洞可能会导致五名因在布拉德福德虐待一名 13 岁女孩而被监禁的男子在仅服刑一半后走出监狱。

穆罕默德·伊姆兰·阿克拉姆（Mohammed Imran Akram）、萨夫拉兹·艾哈迈德·拉蒂夫（Safraz Ahmed Latif）、瓦吉德·侯赛因（Wajid Hussain）、穆罕默德·纳希姆（Mohammed Naheem）和纳迪姆·阿里（Nadeem Ali）去年均被判定犯有多项猥亵罪，每人被判处六至八年监禁。其中一些人将在 2028 年底前出狱。

伯纳姆先生的一位发言人昨天表示：“作为量刑审查的一部分，首相要求司法部对案件进行深入审查，以确保诱拐案件被识别。”

他们补充道：“这项工作正在紧急进行中。。”

根据工党的计划，一些杀人犯和性犯罪者将被提前释放，而 43,000 名罪犯将完全避免入狱。许多囚犯在仅在监狱中度过三分之一的刑期后将重新走在街头。被判处四年或以上刑期的人在服刑 50% 后将被释放。

第一批释放时间已从下个月推迟到十月。被判处 18 个月以下刑期的罪犯将率先从这一代中最宽松的量刑改革中获益。被判处超过

尤苏夫誓言打击问题电子烟店

作者：迈克尔·诺尔斯

改革英国党（Reform UK）誓言将迫使数百家电子烟店倒闭，以防止商业街的衰落。内政发言人齐亚·尤苏夫承诺为这些商店引入一套“国家许可”制度，因为人们越来越担心许多商店是犯罪团伙的掩护。这将上限设定为1,000家场所，并授权由警察、移民执法团队和贸易标准部门组成的联合单元进入可疑店铺。一项BBC调查显示，尽管签证规则已经收紧，但仍有1,900多家小型超市、电子烟店和洗车店获准根据一项针对高收入个人的专项计划担保外国工人。

洗钱

尤苏夫先生宣布：“我们正目睹现金密集型业务的人为繁荣。” “自2010年以来，美甲店的数量激增了91%。” “外国理发店的数量翻了一番——在埃塞克斯和唐卡斯特等地甚至翻了三番。” “没有人相信这些店铺仅凭正当的商业需求就能生存。国家犯罪局估计，每年有10 亿英镑 billion的犯罪现金通过商业街企业进行洗钱。” 尤苏夫先生还表示，改革党政府将设立一条举报热线，供人们举报非法工作或帮派活动，并有可能提供现金奖励。他说，该计划将效仿美国，让举报者能分得巨额罚款的一定份额。

凯米：改革党是一个觉醒党……全是抱怨和牢骚，没有解决方案

独家报道

作者：乔纳森·沃克 白厅编辑

在保守党与其竞争对手激烈的言语战争中，凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）将改革英国党（Reform UK）贴上了“觉醒”的标签。作为回应，改革党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）指责巴德诺克女士“软弱且判断失误”，因为她未能与前新纳粹活动人士约书亚·博恩希尔-佩恩（Joshua Bonehill-Paine）断绝关系。 法拉奇先生坚持认为：“如果我面对的是这样一个候选人，他会在30秒内被砍掉。” “她已经表明她的判断并不可靠。她表明她准备为那些毫无希望的事业而奋斗，最后却不得不反转。” 但这位保守党领导人嘲讽法拉奇先生声称自己是建制派阴谋的目标。她指责他具有一种类似于左翼活动人士的“受害者心态”。 巴德诺克女士补充道：“改革党是一个

关于保守党新纳粹候选人的争端升级

“……觉醒党，我知道很多人不理解，‘觉醒’（woke）这个词被用来表达很多含义，很多人认为它是左翼的东西。但当我谈到‘觉醒’时，我谈到的是那些整天抱怨、沉溺于受害者叙事、认为别人在针对我们、沉溺于压迫者叙事的人。在左翼，是白人是压迫者或男性是压迫者；在右翼，则是建制派是压迫者……这全都是抱怨和发牢骚，而不是真正的解决方案。”

此前，法拉奇先生决定辞去其下议院席位，并在其克拉克顿选区强制举行补选，此前他收到英国加密货币大亨克里斯托弗·哈博恩（Christopher Harborn）赠予的£500 万礼金而遭到批评。一名改革英国党（Reform UK）的消息人士表示：“根据凯米的说法，‘觉醒’显然意味着你的政党里没有新纳粹。”

巴德诺克女士因拒绝与保守党议会候选人博恩希尔-佩恩（Mr Bonehill-Paine）先生撇清关系而面临批评。他在因分享反犹太主义帖子而被判入狱期间，于2016年被判定种族骚扰一名犹太裔前国会议员。她最初为选定他的决定辩护，称他已经改过自新。在巴德诺克女士任命他担任其政党文化与融合委员会的顾问后，他退选了。

法拉奇先生表示，每个政党都有“漏网之鱼”般的候选人，并补充道：“关键在于当你发现他们的行为确实极其恶劣时你会怎么做，而这是一个我见过的最糟糕的案例之一。如果有人在喝了一杯葡萄酒后说了些蠢话，你会觉得，好吧……记录无瑕，只是说了句蠢话，我们可以原谅他。但这完全不同。这家伙进过监狱。而且对一名工党国会议员的围猎……这并不好笑。当我看到一个极其恶劣的案例时……我会说他们不是正式代表我们参选。”

工党贵族卢西亚娜·伯格（Luciana Berger）男爵夫人——即被博恩希尔-佩恩先生骚扰的前国会议员——称保守党任命他担任顾问一职是某种“侮辱”。

入狱的博恩希尔-佩恩竟成为保守党顾问

威斯敏斯特曾有一种理论，认为基尔·斯塔默在执政的前几年受益于某种神秘的帮助，形式是一个精灵。因为自从成为工党领袖以来，他的竞争对手们一直被麻烦、丑闻和内斗所困扰，这对他大有裨益。我开始怀疑那个精灵，或许是因为伦敦的生活成本压力太大，已经在曼彻斯特租了一盏更便宜的灯。因为安迪·伯纳姆正度过一个美妙的夏天。虽然他那些反叛议员们的血腥欲望已被……

AARON NEWBURY 政治记者

在基尔爵士被罢免后，他的竞争对手们正陷入内斗。右翼阵营中那些看似不可调和的派系之间展开的这种不体面的内讧，正迅速成为一个令人绝望的源头。如果没有另一方的支持或被击败，任何一方都没有足够的选举实力来掌控多数席位。如果双方都不愿意退出——而他们认为没有理由这样做——那么战斗并不符合他们的利益。多年来，人们一直说左翼最大的愚蠢之处在于他们永远无法达成一致。“三个左翼派系一起吃午饭，结果五个走出来”这类嘲讽的话已经流传了很久——现在右翼的情况可能也一样。现在，凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）和奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）正因为约书亚·邦希尔-佩恩（Joshua Bonehill-Paine）被允许竞选地方议会席位而互相攻击——目前他已经撤回了竞选。巴德诺克夫人认为被惩罚过的人也可以被救赎，她的观点可能是正确的。然而，当她将反对者贴上“觉醒”（woke）的标签时，她迅速失去了道德高地——这个词的含义正变得越来越模糊。在所有这些争吵中，一个对其国家计划含糊其辞的左翼政府所构成的威胁依然巨大。“当敌人犯错时，永远不要干扰他”，这对安迪·伯纳姆来说将是明智的建议。无论是由精灵还是由更真实的人提供，如果他的对手们看不出真正的敌人是在左翼而非右翼，我们的新任首相看来将迎来一个美好的夏天。 欲阅读当日最佳政治报道，请访问 EXPRESS.CO.UK / POLITICS --- EXIST 7

记录显示每周有 5100 万 听众收听广播

作者：IAN JONES 英国每周收听广播的人数达到了 5100 万 的记录——比 2022. 增加量超过 two million。这一增长是由较新的电台推动的，例如 1 Dance, 1 Anthems, 3 Unwind, Times 和 GB News。今年 4 月至 6 月，每周平均有 5110 万 名 15 岁及以上的人收听英国广播。研究机构 Rajar 的最新数据显示，这一数字高于前三个月的 5060 万。在 2022. 1，总数为 4900 万。1 Anthems 的每周观众人数从 1 月至 3 月的 417,000 增长 40% 至 4 月至 6 月的 584,000。1 Dance 从 437,000 增长 41% 至 615,000，而 3 Unwind 则从 388,000 增长 5% 至 408,000. 这三个电台自 2025. 2 起均可通过数字平台收听。2 仍然是最受欢迎的电台，4 月至 6 月的平均每周总观众人数为 1237 万，较 1257 万 略有下降。2 的负责人海伦·托马斯（Helen Thomas）表示：“我们的 65 岁以上观众人数已升至五年来的最高点。”“我想祝贺托尼·布莱克本（Tony Blackburn），他的周日晚上《黄金小时》（Golden Hour）记录了自 2021 年以来最高的观众人数。”

针对 10 岁以下数百名儿童的恐怖主义调查

担忧网络极端主义导致 Prevent 推荐人数创历史新高

随着人们对青少年上网时长增加的担忧加剧，数百名 10 岁以下儿童被推荐至政府的反恐计划。数据显示，在截至 9 月的一年里，Prevent 计划共收到 10,293 次推荐，涉及 9,957 人。其中，针对 10. 岁以下儿童的推荐有 393 次。内政部统计数据显示，另有 3,655 名青少年的年龄在 11 至 15 岁之间。

军情五处（MI5）负责人肯·麦卡勒姆爵士（Sir Ken McCallum）曾警告称，出现了一种儿童更多地出现在恐怖主义调查中的现象。安全专家担心，未成年人正接触到大量的极端主义内容，包括社交媒体上的恐怖主义宣传和大规模暴力视频。专家担心，这使他们对暴行变得麻木，并将暴力常态化。

激进化

在 2024 年 7 月的 Southport 袭击事件中（三名女孩在舞蹈课上被杀），据透露，17 岁的凶手 Axel Rudakubana 因对恐怖袭击和校园枪击事件感兴趣，在 2019 年至 2021 年期间曾三次被推荐至 计划。

政策发展影子大臣尼尔·奥布赖恩（Neil O'Brien）议员表示：“儿童被推荐到我们反恐系统的速度应该让这个国家的每一位家长感到心惊胆战。”

“工党一次又一次地收到警告，青少年的激进化本身正在成为一个国家安全问题。”

“孩子们在网上花费了太多的时间，在那里他们接触到危险且有害的材料。”

“社交媒体平台需要采取严肃措施来阻止激进化内容的传播。政府必须比目前采取的行动更进一步，且速度更快。”

由内政编辑迈克尔·诺尔斯（MICHAEL KNOWLES）昨日发布的数字显示，2,103 次 推荐是因为对极右翼意识形态的担忧（占总数的 20%），高于前一年的 1,480 次；而关于伊斯兰极端主义的推荐有 860 次（8%），低于之前的 945 次。

约 818 次推荐（8%）与对极端暴力或大规模伤亡袭击的痴迷有关，95 次（1%）针对非自愿独身者（incel）极端主义，32 次（0.3%）针对左翼极端主义，而 353 次（3%）涉及多种意识形态且未识别出主导流派。

但被推荐至 的疑似伊斯兰极端主义者人数较少，这引发了关于该计划正遗漏最大恐怖威胁的警告。军情五处大约四分之三的恐怖主义调查是针对伊斯兰阴谋的。

影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普（Chris Philp）表示：“ 正在忽视伊斯兰极端主义，尽管它仍然是我们国家面临的最致命的恐怖威胁。”

“未能解决此问题并进行干预正将公众置于危险之中。”

“ 的作用对国家安全至关重要，但它必须能够胜任其职责。”

“工党没有勇气面对这一现实，这是国家安全的失败。”

“在过去 25 年中，伊斯兰恐怖主义造成了 94% 的恐怖谋杀案，并占据了反恐案件量的 75% —— 但在 中仅占 8%。这完全是错误的。”

改革英国党（Reform UK）的齐亚·尤苏夫（Zia Yusuf）表示，如果他的政党当选，将确保部署资源以打击伊斯兰极端主义，“确保这个国家的这个祸根被铲除”。

他说：“ 完全不合格。我对 发布的任何数据都深表怀疑。它基本上已经变成了一个美化后的社会工作者计划。”

山火将美景变为 图片：JUSTIN MINNS

地狱景象

消防员仍在对荒原进行降温处理 大片植被化为灰烬

DIXIST 9

变为末日废土

曾经美丽的荒原如今只剩下难以辨认的灰烬景观、焦黑的树木和仍在冒烟的灌木丛

山火摧毁自然保护区，珍贵景观变得面目全非

数英里内可见黑色灰烬和焦黑的植被。烟雾和植物被焚烧的恶臭弥漫在空气中，而动植物的悲剧性损毁令人哽咽。这简直是地狱般的景象。这些图像揭示了萨福克郡邓威奇希斯（Dunwich Heath）在山火后的毁灭情况。从7月 29. 开始，这场山火烧毁了国家信托基金（National Trust）保护区内370英亩的土地——相当于210个足球场的大小。该地被认为是英国最重要的沿海希斯兰（heathland）景观之一，信托基金负责人表示，这里现在已“面目全非”。在英国有记录以来最炎热、最干燥的夏天之一之后，这场大火成为了人们记忆中最严重的山火之一。萨福克郡消防救援服务局在最高峰时曾派出120名消防员与火焰搏斗，并将这场大火宣布为重大事件。在过去的10天里，该郡全部35个消防站都派遣了人员前往现场，其他郡也提供了支持。一架灭火直升机也被部署在现场。该信托基金在萨福克郡该地区的乡村经理马特·威尔逊（Matt Wilson）表示，大火目前已得到控制，但他警告说，大面积的阴燃热点偶尔会再次复燃。他敦促公众完全避开该区域。

猛烈程度

近距离目睹了这场毁灭景象的威尔逊先生表示：“这场火灾的猛烈程度和深度是我以前从未见过的任何山火都无法比拟的。”

“部分地区的石楠希斯兰已被完全烧毁。温度之高，导致所有植被层全部丧失。它已经烧到了裸露的土壤。”

“这是我在职业生涯中处理过的最严重的一场火灾。”

“我与几组救援人员交谈过，他们对火势的猛烈程度以及破坏范围之广感到惊讶。”

在正常情况下，邓威奇希斯是萨福克郡美丽的一部分。这片沿海希斯地带位于邓威奇村以南，东临北海，西接森林。这里本应铺满盛开的石楠花，还分布着一些林地和湿地。

威尔逊先生说：“在这种季节，标志性的紫色和粉色石楠花阵本应在此时绽放。”

“那是受这场火灾影响最严重的栖息地。”

许多树木也被摧毁，部分地区的火焰高达40米（130英尺）。更令人难过的是对野生动物的影响，因为这片希斯地带是保护区的一部分。像达特福德苇莺、夜鹰和石鵖等当地鸟类能够飞往安全地带，而红鹿和孟加拉麂等大型哺乳动物大多逃离了该区域。

阶段，否则就会死亡。他补充道：“我们现场有许多爬行动物，如原欧螈、慢螈和普通蜥蜴。我们还有蝾螈、青蛙和蟾蜍等两栖动物。田鼠、小鼠和野鼠的移动速度没那么快。由于火势之快且之猛，其中很多动物将无法逃脱。”威尔逊先生表示，浓烈的烟味挥之不去，在周围数英里内都清晰可见。道路和公共通行权路径目前已关闭，包括相邻的海岸路径。当地人会询问植被和动物生命需要多久才能恢复。但由于破坏过于严重，他目前还不敢对此给出肯定的回答。与许多森林地区一样，这片荒原设有防火带——即通过清理植被形成的宽阔间隙，以阻止火焰蔓延。不到一年前，威尔逊先生曾咨询消防部门，以确保设有充足的防火带。“但在这次大火面前，这些措施不够有效，”他承认道，“大火直接烧穿了防火带，就好像它们不存在一样。”他在火灾爆发前刚刚访问过这片荒原，并表示那次是“完全不同的体验……鸟鸣阵阵，蝴蝶翩翩，我很高兴看到石楠花长得那么好。而本周，这里看起来就像灾难电影里的场景。”与此同时，大规模的灭火和清理行动正在进行。信托基金已发起一项紧急呼吁，目标筹集至少 £500,000 用于恢复栖息地。总干事希拉里·麦格雷迪（Hilary McGrady）表示：“工作将涵盖从确保现场安全到积极恢复栖息地的所有环节。我们需要规划新的游客路线和设施，并修复建筑损坏，以确保人们能够欣赏这片特殊的景观。”

陆军学院青少年性虐待指控

女性新兵讲述遭受袭击经历 作者：康纳·威尔逊（CONOR WILSON）

年轻的女性新兵告诉调查人员，她们在一家陆军训练中心遭到强奸和性虐待。其中一人指控在 17 岁时，在陆军基础学院（Army Foundation College）被几名十几岁的男性士兵强奸了“数小时”。一项 BBC 调查称，在哈罗盖特（Harrogate）基地存在一种虐待和厌女文化，该基地是英国唯一的初级入伍基础训练机构，大多数新兵年龄在 16 或 17 岁。一名声称遭到团伙强奸的学员表示，发生在新兵宿舍的袭击摧毁了她完成训练并为国效力的梦想。

煎熬

她补充道：“他们就像在说，‘你想进来吗？’作为一个天真的17岁少女，我的反应是，‘好，没问题’。”“他们开始脱我的衣服。他们人数很多。他们触摸我的某些部位……称我为‘一个东西’而不是一个女孩。我被强奸了……被多名和我同龄的初级士兵强奸。这种情况持续了几个小时。”这名女孩在几周后离开了训练，因为她难以应对这段煎熬。她补充道：“在我的整个职业生涯中，我可能就只会以‘跟很多人发生关系’的女孩而被人们熟知……但事实并非如此。”另一名女孩说，一名新兵“挡在门前让我无法出去”，并补充道：“然后他将身体压在我身上……全身到处触摸我。他对我实施了性侵。”大多数哈罗盖特（Harrogate）的学员年龄在16或17岁之间。她从北约克郡学院获得了与此无关的医疗退役，她认为这是一种解脱。

BBC报道的四起案例涉及过去五年。从2018年1月到2025年6月，该学院共有176起关于不当性行为的投诉——其中32起针对正式员工，144起涉及初级士兵。几名成年AFC教官在军事法庭上被判定犯有身体暴力和性暴力罪。2023年，下士丹尼尔·康威（Daniel Conway）因强奸被判处七年以上监禁，下士西蒙·巴特拉姆（Simon Bartram）被判定性侵罪名成立，被判处20个月拘留。BBC揭露的所有指控均与这些罪行无关。

陆军表示：“我们鼓励任何在陆军基础学院（Army Foundation College）经历过或目击过不可接受或犯罪行为的人站出来举报。”发言人补充道：“近年来已做出多项改变以支持受害者，包括有权直接向民用应急服务部门举报犯罪行为。”

DK / ST 11 作者：JANE BRADLEY

被谋杀的学生梅雷迪斯·克切尔（Meredith Kercher）的姐姐支持一项请愿，要求爱丁堡艺术节（Edinburgh Fringe）取消阿曼达·诺克斯（Amanda Knox）的一场演出。斯特凡妮·克切尔（Stephanie Kercher）表示，她“无法想象”强奸和谋杀如何能成为一场喜剧演出的主题。

由克切尔家族的一位朋友发起的请愿称，阿曼达在Gilded Balloon的Teviot场馆演出的这场秀，将她的强奸和谋杀经历变成了娱乐。现年39岁的诺克斯女士曾在2009年被判定谋杀罪名成立，两年后被宣判无罪，随后她撰写了书籍并出现在关于其经历的纪录片中。

克切尔女士痛斥道：“想象一下，在梅雷迪斯去世20年后，你的痛苦变成了别人的笑料。我妹妹的悲剧被用来在爱丁堡——竟然是在这个地方——由那个被意大利检方审讯并带入法律程序的人，在今年周末首演一场喜剧秀。”

“我很清楚在备受关注的案件中，每个人对有罪和无罪都有自己的看法，我也同意言论自由。”

“然而，当有人仍然利用梅雷迪斯的姓名来维持生计，且喜剧与具体案件和个人挂钩时，我无法想象强奸和谋杀怎么能被当作笑话。”

“而且我无法理解，一个人在警察局的行为如何能成为喜剧演出的主题。”

不尊重

诺克斯女士的一位发言人为该演出辩护，称请愿书基于“错误的假设并误读了该节目”。但萨莉·艾林顿（Sally Alington）在 Change.org 上发起了一项请愿，她自 2007 年 21 岁的梅雷迪斯在意大利佩鲁贾去世前就与克切尔（Kercher）一家相识。请愿书呼吁 Gilded Balloon 场馆和爱丁堡边缘艺术节撤下诺克斯女士的演出《侧手翻》（Cartwheel）——该剧被标榜为具有“成人”主题的单口喜剧，且围绕该案件展开。这项名为“停止阿曼达·诺克斯在爱丁堡边缘艺术节演出《侧手翻》”的请愿，在诺克斯女士的演出于本周末首演之前，截至昨晚已收集了近 5,000 个签名。在本周早些时候的一次采访中，诺克斯女士表示，她认为她以前的室友会觉得这个节目“很有趣”。目前她与丈夫和两个孩子住在华盛顿州农村，她也为该节目辩护，称该剧讲述了她被冤狱的经历，以及她将如何向女儿解释她的过去。她将节目命名为《侧手翻》，是因为据广泛报道，诺克斯女士在被带走审问后做了这个动作。诺克斯女士否认此事发生过。克切尔女士补充道：“梅雷迪斯，我的姐姐，是一个非常聪明且风趣的人，正因如此才被这么多人喜爱。她是一个你可以信赖的‘女孩中的女孩’，如果她还活着，今天一定会成为一名坚强勇敢的女性。她绝对不会觉得围绕这些问题的喜剧有趣，而且我认为这违背了那些具有启发性的女性至今仍在奋斗的一切。”

“我无法想象强奸和谋杀怎么能被当作笑话”

梅雷迪斯的姐姐痛批诺克斯的边缘艺术节演出

艾林顿女士表示：“我与克切尔一家有私人联系，因此非常清楚自 2007 年 11 月那个悲剧之日起他们经历了什么。当我们讨论一名年轻女性被强奸和谋杀时，看到这种令人反感且不尊重的表演在‘成人’主题的‘单口喜剧’标签下被允许进行，简直令人难以置信。”

“这不仅完全不恰当，且伤害了梅雷迪斯的家人和朋友，而且远不止于此。它使针对女性的暴力变得常态化且琐碎化。我敦促 Gilded Balloon 和边缘艺术节的组织者调整他们的道德准则，做正确的事，取消这些演出。”

Gilded Balloon 表示，除了上个月发表的一份为举办该演出辩护的声明外，没有进一步评论。该声明称：“爱丁堡边缘艺术节是一个开放访问的节日。”

“我们为广泛的声音提供平台，这符合边缘艺术节对言论自由的长期承诺。”

克里斯爵士：克拉克森的100 万英镑0k直升机税帮我们达到了100 万英镑

杰里米说服捐赠者额外增加100 万英镑50k 杰里米·克拉克森（Jeremy Clarkson）通过要求乘坐直升机前往筹款活动的富裕宾客进行额外捐款，帮助克里斯·霍伊（Chris Hoy）爵士为其癌症慈善机构筹集了100 万英镑00 万。自行车传奇克里斯爵士为其Tour De 4挑战赛组织了一场拍卖会——该挑战赛是在他被诊断出患有晚期前列腺癌后创立的。最近透露自己曾接受早期但侵袭性前列腺癌治疗的杰里米主持了此次活动。当总额接近100 万英镑m时，这位由电视明星转行的农民从富有的竞拍者那里争取到了额外资金。在自己的《体育冒险》（Sporting Misadventures）播客中，克里斯爵士，50, 透露：“通过所有门票、餐桌和拍卖，我们筹到了£850,000，而他们想达到100 万英镑。” “杰里米说：‘好，这里有人是坐直升机来的。所有坐直升机来的人，我每人要10 grand’。” “于是他走遍房间，说着：‘你出10 grand，你出10 grand’。他从人们那里筹到了100 万英镑50,000，这使得总额达到了100 万英镑。” 该活动于上个月在北安普顿郡的一次飞盘射击活动中举行。克里斯爵士称这位前《Top Gear》明星的行为“令人震惊”，并补充道：“我认为没有其他人能这样而没事，但他有那种气场。” “那是一个极好的下午，真的很有趣。” 杰里米，66, 在他在Prime TV的爆款节目《克拉克森的农场》（Clarkson's Farm）的一集中透露了他的诊断结果。他告诉员工，他的癌症在一次体检中被早期发现。他接受了切除部分前列腺的手术，并表示目前处于缓解期。六届奥运冠军场地自行车运动员克里斯爵士在2024年透露自己患有晚期前列腺癌。他与妻子萨拉（Sarra）共同创立了Tour De 4慈善骑行活动，旨在证明第四阶段的诊断虽然令人心碎，但并不能定义一个人能取得的成就。参与者可以从4条路线中选择一条——从静态挑战、1km到最远56英里。去年9月在格拉斯哥及其周边举行的首届骑行活动为癌症研究筹集了超过310 万英镑。这对夫妇目前正在组织他们今年9月的第二次骑行挑战。筹集到的资金将捐给包括麦克米伦癌症支持中心（Macmillan Cancer Support）、Breast Cancer Now、Cure Leukaemia、英国前列腺癌协会（Prostate Cancer UK）和Maggie's在内的慈善机构。

这与公正执行完全背道而驰

工党继续对其备受争议的监狱提前释放政策视而不见、听而不闻，该政策已引发了不可避免的公众愤怒。首相安迪·伯纳姆承诺，在旨在缓解监狱过度拥挤的鲁莽计划中，将排除诱骗团伙成员。但现在出现的情况是，布拉德福德一个犯罪集团的五名成员可能会被释放，因为他们仅被指控为猥亵袭击。

怪物穆罕默德·伊姆兰·阿克拉姆（Mohammed Imran Akram）、萨夫拉兹·艾哈迈德·拉蒂夫（Safraz Ahmed Latif）、瓦吉德·侯赛因（Wajid Hussain）、穆罕默德·纳希姆（Mohammed Naheem）和纳迪姆·阿里（Nadeem Ali）因性虐待一名女孩，于去年10月被判处六至八年监禁。然而，在另一个令人震惊的漏洞中，猥亵袭击的指控（由于他们的许多罪行发生在2003年反诱骗法出台之前而设定）并不在首相的豁免范围之内。这意味着其中一些人最早可能在2028年就走在街上。

工党的宽容意味着一些罪犯在监狱中仅需服刑三分之一的刑期。这一前景被描述为“对受害者的又一次背叛”——在这种情况下，难以想象的痛苦仅在确保定罪时才被重视，随后便不再重要。伯纳姆先生在就职两周后目前正在享受阳光假期，他需要做正确的事，停止这个荒谬的计划，否则将导致杀害警察的人员和性犯罪者获得奖励，而受害者却被扇了一记耳光。目前拟议的方案与公正的执行以及公正的呈现完全背道而驰。

我们必须击败极端主义

2005年7月7日，四名自杀式袭击者在针对伦敦交通网络的协调袭击中杀害了52名无辜民众，并导致770人受伤。这场难以言表的悲剧促使政府将一个名为“预防”（Prevent）的去激进化计划作为更广泛反恐战略的一部分而设立。

二十多年后，数据显示被转介至该计划的人数大幅增加，其中包括近400名10岁或以下的儿童。总体而言，被转介的人数激增，在过去12个月中，共有创纪录的10,293名成年人和儿童被送往“预防”计划。我们必须致力于加倍努力以击败极端主义。在这场持续的斗争中，有一件极其宝贵的武器：公众的眼睛和耳朵，公众有责任在任何分裂和仇恨滋生的地方发声。

支持邓威治行动

这个酷热难耐的漫长夏天既是福音也是诅咒。绝佳的天气令人愉悦，但也造成了广泛的破坏。这一点在萨福克郡的邓威治 Heath（Dunwich Heath）保护区表现得最为明显，那里已被山火变成了焦黑的荒原。我们呼吁读者支持一项筹款行动，以帮助这个独特的区域恢复其作为丰富动植物避风港的往日荣光。

这是一个在关键时刻不会消失的燃眉之急

DURING 在邓威奇希斯（Dunwich Heath）的大火期间，我们看到了人们最美好的一面。当地人向撤离者开放家门，为消防员提供食物，而红十字会和救世军也迅速集结。一位评论员将其描述为一种“闪电战精神”。在第一线，农民们用机械和水罐车支持消防服务，来自 Sizewell C 的团队挖掘战壕，国民信托（National Trust）、英国皇家鸟类保护协会（RSPB）和英格兰自然局（Natural England）的同事们开辟防火带，我们还动用了一架直升机。这些共同努力无疑挽救了房屋和村庄。人们尽了自己的一份力。现在我们需要政府做出相应的回应。因为野火问题不会消失。那场将邓威奇美丽的紫色希斯地带化为焦炭和灰烬的大火，仅仅是那两周内英国 200 起火灾中的一起。在异常干燥的夏季（包括有记录以来最干燥的七月）的推动下，火焰席卷了公园、海岸线、保护区和农场。在邓威奇火灾发生前的几天里，怀特岛上俯瞰针石礁（the Needles）的一大片土地陷入火海。凯恩戈姆山脉（Cairngorms）的一场大火仍在燃烧。贝尔法斯特附近的莫恩山脉（Mourne Mountains）也发生了无数起事件。像摧毁邓威奇那样凶猛的野火，在过去可能被认为是英国一个遥远的风险，但那些日子已经过去了。因此，我们的政治家必须做出选择——他们是要采取拖延战术，希望情况会好转？还是我们作为一个国家，动员我们幸运地拥有的众多资源，为更好的未来而战？如果是后者，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）应该从这里开始。

FIRSTLY，气候变化和自然危机必须被视为一个社会和经济问题，而不仅仅是一个环境问题。消防队仍留在邓威奇希斯野火留下的毁灭现场

希拉里·麦格雷迪（Hilary McGrady）客座专栏作家

邓威奇（Dunwich）的大火不仅摧毁了历史景观和珍贵的野生动物栖息地，还给当地经济和企业带来了损失，使资源陷入紧张，并影响了人们的生活方式。让我们不要忘记，在 2022 年那场前所未有的 40 摄氏度热浪期间，一场山火摧毁了东伦敦的 18 栋房屋。虽然追加资金的承诺值得欢迎，但政府仍未公布山火应对战略，消防队甚至无法获得扑灭这些大火所需的工具——包括快速调用直升机的权限。应对气候变化必须成为每个政府部门的任务——从卫生到国防——并制定类似于应对大流行病的韧性计划。其次，首相需要投资于自然的力量。简单的科学常识告诉我们，较湿的表面更难被点燃。因此，我们需要在全国范围内努力捕捉并储存雨水。这意味着要恢复我们被排干的泥炭沼泽，使其像海绵一样吸收雨水。这意味着要撤销几个世纪以来对河流的疏浚和截弯取直，让它们自由地蜿蜒，就像我们在萨默塞特郡的霍尔尼科特（Holnicote）所做的那样——那是干旱景观中的一片绿色绿洲。这意味着要将自然视为像交通或公用事业一样的关键基础设施，并以同样的方式进行投资。在萨福克郡，明斯米尔（Minsmere）湿地在火焰与赛兹韦尔（Sizewell）之间起到了天然防火带的作用。我们与 More in Common 共同开展的研究发现，83% 的人认为恢复自然是一项重要或最高优先级的任务。因此，本周我们发起了一项请愿，呼吁政府将气候韧性定为一项国家任务，为消防服务提供支持，并将自然视为关键基础设施。最后，我们必须从源头解决问题。山火是由气温升高驱动的，准备工作必须与遏制进一步变暖同步进行。世界自然基金会（WWF）的一位同事最近说，没有缓解措施的适应就像是“在水龙头还开着的时候拖地”。直到最近，我们在这方面还拥有跨党派的共识。英国凭借《气候变化法》领先世界，而引入净零目标的正是保守党政府。我们目前的工党政府是在承诺将英国打造为清洁能源“超级大国”的基础上当选的。我们必须重新找回那种共识。这一切都是可能的。英国在过去应对过巨大的挑战，我们现在也可以再次做到。公众和公民社会组织正在尽其一份力。已有数千人向我们的筹款活动捐赠了 £350,000，以帮助邓威奇希斯（Dunwich Heath）恢复。集体精神、决心和希望依然存在。人们想要提供帮助。现在，我们需要相应的政治意愿。● 希拉里·麦格雷迪是国民信托（National Trust）的总干事 “应对气候变化必须成为每个政府部门的任务” --- DAIST 13 # Legal McKinstry

Arday 的离奇故事依然至关重要

到周三他辞去剑桥大学教授一职时，杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）已经像极了汤姆·夏普（Tom Sharpe）或 Ali G 的创作者萨查·巴伦·科恩（Sacha Baron Cohen）笔下某个才华横溢的喜剧角色。他对自身成就的吹嘘如此离谱，以至于他似乎属于幻想领域而非现实世界。这个男人曾声称自己在 35 天内跑了 30 场马拉松，其中最后 9 场时他的腿骨折得非常严重，肿到了正常尺寸的两倍。此外，他还对外宣称自己曾是一名半职业足球运动员、慈善筹款人、顶尖斯诺克选手，以及电视纪录片《Seven Up》的明星；但如果这是真的，那将涉及一项奇迹般的时空旅行壮举，因为该系列在他在出生前 20 年就已经开始了。更严重的是关于剽窃的指控。对他博士论文的一项研究指出，其中 188 个句子似乎是直接从早先的一篇论文中抄袭而来的。值得注意的是，就在剑桥大学对其工作启动调查之时，他辞去了职务。阿尔代的故事之所以重要，是因为它揭示了剑桥大学——这所世界领先的大学之一——在痴迷于推广多样性时，显然暂停了所有学术严谨性。不幸的是，对其声誉造成的整体损害可能是永久性的。

反贫困活动人士习惯于利用恐吓手段来证明他们要求增加更多福利的合理性。现在，约瑟夫·罗温特里基金会（Joseph Rowntree Foundation）声称有 740 万 低收入家庭负担不起基础洗漱用品。这如何与 95% 的 16 岁以上英国人拥有智能手机这一事实相协调？

开始建造更多监狱……否则将面临愤怒！

针对包括杀人犯和恋童癖在内的数千名囚犯的提前释放计划，是一次绝望的政治敷衍行为，是对公众在道德上令人厌恶的侮辱。如果我们的国家是由真正决心打击犯罪的政治家统治，那么本应创建足够数量的监狱名额，以满足日益增长的监禁需求。但这恰恰是部长们未能做到的，因此他们陷入了一个荒诞的境地：允许监狱容量来决定量刑政策。由于监狱牢房短缺，5,000名囚犯可能会在10月份被释放，而他们仅服刑了三分之一的刑期。

这项政策引发的愤怒是合理的，阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯（Albert Bowers）和杰西·科尔（Jessie Cole）的案例便概括了这一点。这两名青少年被判定杀害了警察安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper），哈珀在调查一起四轮摩托车盗窃案时遭受了严重的致命伤。鲍尔斯和科尔因在这次犯罪中的作用分别被判处13年监禁，但部长们承认他们将在10月份获准提前释放，哈珀的遗孀对此理所当然地感到“恶心”。在审判过程中，鲍尔斯和科尔没有表现出丝毫的悔意。相反，他们在整个诉讼过程中冷笑并大笑。现在，在受到了如此可耻的宽容对待后，他们对我们法律制度的自鸣得意之轻蔑将会更加严重。

部长们陷入这种混乱局面，是因为他们不愿承认强大的监狱网络对于维持我们的文明至关重要。自20世纪60年代后期以来，随着左翼掌控我们的公民机构，政治建制派内部形成了一种共识，认为“监狱没有用”。甚至保守党也接受了这一说法，在1990年的一份官方白皮书中写道，“监狱是一种让坏人变得更坏的昂贵方式”。除了对监狱成本地地扼腕叹息——目前一名平均男性囚犯每年的费用高达£60,000——反监狱阵营还经常主张犯罪分子是社会的受害者，需要的是支持而非惩罚。社会主义者喋喋不休地将匮乏视为犯罪的主要原因，而学者们则哀叹精神疾病的影响。一项备受关注的研究估计，90%的囚犯患有精神健康问题，这一数字暗示犯罪行为本身是一种医疗

首相究竟应该在什么时候休假？

关于安迪·伯纳姆休假的整场人为制造的争议简直荒谬。如果批评者认为他现在不应该休息，即便议会处于休会期间，那么他们认为他应该在什么时候休假？上任以来真正成功的首相是戴维·卡梅伦，他精准地在“高潮”与勤奋工作之间取得了平衡。

这种情况。这种找借口的行为只会削弱国家保护我们的能力。罪犯必须为自己的行为负责——这意味着要建造更多监狱来安置他们。英国公众比那些满口术语的所谓专家更清楚这个事实。根据公众意愿，近年来监禁刑期已显著加重，英格兰皇家法院判处的平均刑期比 2012 年长 25%。

终身监禁的情况也是如此，目前的平均刑期为 17 年，而 2008 年为 13 年。作为回应，严重犯罪率有所下降，这与那些幻想“监狱无用”的暴民的预期截然相反。在服刑时间最长的人群中，重新犯罪率最低，而所谓的社区处罚则散发着低效且宽容的气息。本周 BBC 新闻称，“尽管犯罪率下降，但更多的人被送入监狱——且刑期更长”。如果 BBC 不被教条蒙蔽，它就会明白，刑罚的严厉实际上才是犯罪率下降的原因。

新首相面临着一项关键考验：他会放弃那个声名狼藉的提前释放计划并开始建造监狱吗？还是会坚持一个让正义沦为笑柄的有缺陷计划？他的答案将决定其政府的命运。

我永远不会忘记玛格特，一位深受爱戴的市长和绝佳的媒人

很少有已婚夫妇能像我和我的妻子伊丽莎白那样，拥有一个如此独特的相识故事。我们的故事包含了跨越政治分歧的浪漫、一个出人意料的地点以及一位仁慈的媒人。

这一切发生在 1994, 5月，当时我正在竞选伊斯灵顿当地的工党议员连任。在投票日当天，我感到很沮丧，因为我确信我的席位将被自由民主党的候选人夺走，那是一位优雅但强大的社区活动家，名叫玛格特·邓恩。

那天一大早我遇到玛格特（左图）时，她问我稍后是否会在某个特定的投票站出现。我觉得告诉她也没什么坏处，于是我说：“是的，中午在圣玛丽学校，”然后我问，“玛格特，这又是怎么回事？”她带着神秘的微笑回答道：“你到时候就知道了。”

当我到达圣玛丽学校时，我得到了答案。为自由民主党收集投票人数的是一位名叫伊丽莎白的美国红发美女。她是玛格特的亲密朋友，那天早上她在家里收到紧急指令，要求中午前赶到圣玛丽学校。正如玛格特慷慨的意图那样，伊丽莎白和我那天坠入了爱河，并从此在一起。

玛格特轻松赢得了我的席位，并随后成为了备受赞赏的伊斯灵顿市长。遗憾的是，她上周去世了，享年 95 岁，直到最后都在奋斗。伊丽莎白和我欠她的情深不可量。

William Hickey — 自1933年起传递八卦 —

虽然好为人师的明星们传统上倾向于工党，但保守党著名的名人支持者长期以来一直寥寥无几。但现在情况是否有所改变？女演员莫琳·利普曼（Dame Maureen Lipman）爵士和电视主持人克斯蒂·奥尔索普（Kirstie Allsopp）近日都表达了对保守党支持，因为她们被凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）的表现所打动。曾是工党忠实支持者的莫琳（见上图左）宣布，由于“惊人”的凯米，她准备首次投票给保守党；而优雅的克斯蒂在本周赞扬了这位“出色”的反对党领袖后，此前坚持与保守党保持距离的做法已成为过去。我们是否终于见证了“保守党名媛”的崛起？

一名在上次选举中落败的著名保守党人士确认他正寻求回归。雅各布·里斯-莫格（Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg）爵士在2024年于萨默塞特东北部（North East Somerset）以仅5,000多票之差输给工党，现已正式申请重新进入该党的候选人名单。这位保守党绅士打趣道：“看看我之后是否会被清洗。”

由于毒舌的 BBC Breakfast 主持人纳加·蒙切蒂（Naga Munchetty）（左）将在任职17年后离开该节目，同事们正为她即将到来的荧幕告别做准备。除了成为一项内部霸凌调查的对象（未采取正式行动）外，据报道纳加与 BBC Breakfast 负责人理查德·弗雷迪亚尼（Richard Frediani）之间的不和也曾登上头条。我的消息人士轻笑说：“纳加不擅长温馨的告别。我们预计在她最后一场节目中会有一些尖锐的言论。”

在准备宣传即将出版的回忆录时，安妮卡·赖斯（Anneka Rice）回忆起发现自己在杜莎夫人蜡像馆的蜡像被移除时的沮丧时刻。这位主持人开玩笑说：“我的身体被熔化成了金·卡戴珊（Kim Kardashian）的屁股。”

威廉王子最近声称已故女王在吃司康饼时更倾向于“先奶油，后果酱”的德文郡方法，而非竞争对手康沃尔传统（先果酱），此举引起了轰动。对此，女王的私人厨师达伦·麦格雷迪（Darren McGrady）愤愤不平地坚称事实相反。“让我们把这件事说清楚，”他愤怒地表示，“当女王主持下午茶时，司康饼总是对半切开，先涂果酱，然后在上面放凝脂奶油。”达伦还澄清道：“她私下绝不会用凝脂奶油，因为她把司康饼喂给了她的柯基犬。”

如今已成为广播和电视上的熟面孔，Radio 2 主持人安吉拉·斯坎隆（Angela Scanlon）坦承在最初尝试在伦敦闯荡事业时，她对自己的年龄撒了谎。此前官方记录的出生日期为“1983年12月29日”，这位爱尔兰明星现在尴尬地承认：“实际上是1982年。独家爆料……维基百科把我的出生年份写成了1983年。我刚搬到伦敦时确实减掉了一岁，因为在29岁时我觉得自己太老了。我不想太快就到30岁。”安吉拉现在公开接受自己43岁的高龄……

自从五个月前开始注重健康并禁酒以来，奈杰尔·哈弗斯（Nigel Havers）抱怨道：“我觉得没什么不同。”酒钱由奈杰尔买单！

Jolina Gisele 向 Tatler 讲述她的卡牌收获

THE Pokémon 系列以其口号“Gotta catch 'em all”（全部捕捉）而闻名……但这位年轻的继承人将这句话理解得过于字面了。20 岁的 Jolina Gisele 在积累了一套据称价值超过 £5000 万 的交易卡收藏后，成为了互联网上的红人。这位瑞士科技继承人拥有超过 60,000 件珍贵藏品，且全部处于未开封的完好状态。

恐惧 在父亲 Urs（一名 AI 安全企业家）的帮助下，她构建了全球最价值的宝可梦卡牌收藏之一，令全球收藏家羡慕不已。在最新一期的《Tatler》杂志中，Jolina 表示：“每一分我们不需要的瑞士法郎都投入到了宝可梦中。我喜欢不同年龄的孩子们聚集在一起交换卡牌。那些更酷的大孩子，以及当时读一年级的我。友谊就这样建立了。男孩们总是拥有足球卡，但对于我们女孩来说，从未有一样东西能创造这样的凝聚力。” “在某个时刻，我觉得我父亲可能做得有点过头了。我和母亲有点担心我们在卡牌上花了这么多钱。每天都有这么多包裹寄来。突然之间，我父亲沉迷于购买宝可梦卡牌。” Urs 表示：“我们现在总是在谈论钱，但这是我能和女儿一起做的事情，我们花了这么多小时和日子一起寻找卡牌。这才是最重要的。” “我工作很忙，回家后没有人想谈论数学或物理。宝可梦是让我们走到一起的东西。” 完整专题请参阅 9 月号的《Tatler》。 Jolina Gisele 搬运她庞大收藏中的一些宝可梦卡牌 记者 GILES SHELDRICK / 副皇家编辑 REBECCA RUSSELL

法院昨日获悉，安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎（ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor）在靠近其桑德灵厄姆住所的一次冲突中，与一名戴着巴拉克拉法帽（balaclava）并追赶他的涉嫌跟踪者面对面接触。

Alex Jenkinson，39 岁，被指控于 5 月 6 日在诺福克郡对前约克公爵使用威胁性、辱骂性或侮辱性的言语或行为。萨福克郡警方同时在申请针对 Jenkinson 的民事跟踪保护令。

副首席地方法官 Tan Ikram 在威斯敏斯特法院宣读了蒙巴顿-温莎先生证词的部分内容——该证词将成为法律诉讼的核心。

国王的兄弟表示，当他在庄园里遛狗时，他发现了一辆他认为属于新闻摄影师的汽车，随后他和安保人员“开车经过了那辆车”。

蒙巴顿-温莎先生说，一名男子“转身面对我——他戴着巴拉克拉法帽面罩”。他描述了这名“格格不入”的男子，并在证词中补充道：“随后我看到一只脱缰的狗向他跑去。然后他 # 安德鲁‘被戴巴拉克拉法帽的男子追赶’ 意识到我是谁，并开始冲向我的车辆。”

由于 Jenkinson 在携带爱犬抵达后被禁止进入大楼，法院听证会在其缺席的情况下进行。他的律师 Claire Howell 告诉 Ikram 法官：“他不得不带上他的狗。

狗“他目前无家可归，住在 Travelodge 的住宿设施中。他不能把狗留在那里。狗为他提供支持。他患有 ADHD。”Howell 女士承认，她没有任何文件可以证明 Jenkinson 的医疗状况或他对支持动物的需求。法官听取并同意了将跟踪保护令的申请延期的请求，并决定在 Jenkinson 不在场的情况下进行听证会。被告手臂打着吊带，与他的狗一起站在室外的人行道上。Howell 女士告诉法庭，来自萨福克郡 Stowmarket 的 Jenkinson 现在已经找到了临时住所，可以在未来的听证会期间将宠物留在那里。Jenkinson 否认在靠近其 Marsh Farm 房产的 Wolverton 发生的冲突中，犯有导致前王子“恐惧非法暴力”的公共秩序罪。他还对另一项指控表示不认罪，即 5. 月 5 日在 King's Lynn 故意使用威胁性、辱骂性或侮辱性的言语或行为，旨在引起另一名男子 Stephen Terry 的恐惧或挑起针对其非法暴力。66, 岁的 Mountbatten-Windsor 先生预计将在定于 12 月 21. 日举行的审判中通过视频链路提供证词。Jenkinson 也在反对制定跟踪保护令，他目前处于有条件保释状态，不得靠近温莎、桑德灵厄姆、白金汉宫、巴尔莫勒尔或海格罗夫。他还被禁止直接或间接尝试联系 Mountbatten-Windsor 先生，或接近他，或进入诺福克郡。

一个集镇连续第二个夜晚陷入混乱，多达 100 人的暴力暴徒冲击了他们认为居住着寻求庇护者的房屋。在塞特福德（Thetford）持续进行的反移民抗议活动中，几名警察被送往医院，随后两名男子被逮捕。

昨晚，警方权力被加强以防止第三个夜晚出现骚乱，包括在被要求时必须摘除面部遮盖物。诺福克警方表示，在 Clover Way 聚集大量人群后，周三晚上已向该镇部署了大量资源以维护公共安全。

警方在晚上 9.30 收到有人试图闯入房产的报告并作出响应。随着警察介入，部分抗议者变得具有身体攻击性。一名男警员被石头击中，一名女同事被“严重”咬伤，导致皮肤破裂。第三名警员报告称被吐口水。

早些时候，一群人聚集在当地警察局外进行反移民抗议，警方将其描述为“基本和平”。此前在周二晚上的骚乱中，暴徒试图闯入三条街道的房产，导致窗户和围栏被砸碎。

五名男子在咆哮的群众大喊“滚出去！”的情况下，被警方从一处住宅中救出。一名男子据称被强行赶出家门，随后手机被盗，而一扇门和窗户

在镇上暴力爆发时，一处房屋的窗户被砸碎，第三处房产的窗户也被砸碎。

此次骚乱源于社交媒体上关于寻求庇护者被安置在该地区的传闻。一名 30 多岁的男子因涉嫌破坏公共秩序罪被逮捕。他随后被释放并被给予有条件警告。

网上流传的视频显示一名男子大喊：“他们不再想要白人了。他们想让我们全部消失。”另一段片段显示一名警员告诉人群，他们有权行使表达自由，但必须和平地进行。

周三共有两人因破坏公共秩序、骚扰和持有攻击性武器等罪名被捕。一名 40 多岁的男子被拘留。第二名男子是来自塞特福德 Fairfields 的 Brian Thompson，68 岁，被指控持有攻击性武器——一根木棒。他被保释，预计将于 8 月 25 日在诺里奇地方法院出庭。

西南诺福克选区的国会议员 Terry Jerny 对这些“丑陋的场景”表示谴责。这位工党政治家补充道：“人们被从他们的家中——一个安全的地方——被强行拖出，据报道有公众成员闯入住宅、抢夺财产并砸碎窗户。”

保守党执政下外国社会住房租户面临被驱逐

如果保守党赢得下次大选，外国人将被禁止获得市政房屋，数万名现有租户将被驱逐。数据显示，近 300,000 套社会租赁住房的主租户为外国国民。

保守党的计划意味着，那些在法律上被视为单身，且不持有英国、爱尔兰或欧盟公民身份的人将失去其房产。这一公告是在凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）旨在削减英国福利开支的一系列政策中出台的。

根据保守党的计划，约 220,144 套市政房屋将被清空，租户将失去居住权。这些房产随后将提供给社会住房候补名单上的英国公民。未来的租赁将仅限英国国民，甚至欧盟公民也无法申请。

影子工作与养老金大臣海伦·沃特利（Helen Whately）表示：“将英国作为家园应当是通过工作、纳税和融入来赢得的。而不应是通过在福利制度中‘搭便车’来实现。”

今年 1 月，改革英国党（Reform UK）也表示将禁止外国国民入住社会住房，并补充称租户需要寻找私人住所，否则将面临被驱逐出境的风险。

工党将这些提议贴上了“不可行”的标签。一名发言人补充道：“没有永久居留权的人已经没有资格申请社会住房，因此这项政策将主要影响难民以及为这个国家做出贡献但并非英国公民的长期英国居民，其中包括国民医疗服务体系（NHS）的工作人员。”

房产，且对于邻近居民来说也非常令人担忧。“无论我们个人对移民持有何种观点——暴民统治和私刑行为都是不可接受的。”

今年 6 月，杰尼（Jerny）先生敦促内政部结束围绕在前军事营房（包括附近的伯纳姆皇家空军基地）安置寻求庇护者的计划所产生的“秘密与混乱”。这位选区与该基地接壤的国会议员表示，他已对其用于安置寻求庇护者“表达了强烈的反对”。

在关于骚乱的一份声明中，他表示：“我担心这些最新事件削弱了我们对内政部提议的合法关切，并进一步分散了当地警力的资源。”

助理警务处长朱莉·迪恩（Julie Dean）表示：“我们不会坐视暴力发生，无论这种暴力是针对公众还是警察。一旦发生刑事犯罪，我们将采取强有力的行动。”

护理人员在护理工作中面临“非人道待遇”

作者：ELLA PICKOVER

医学专家警告称，护理人员在社会护理领域正遭受“极其严重的剥削”。英国皇家护理学院（RCN）表示，部分移民员工被低薪对待，其签证状态被用作筹码以要求偿还“巨额”费用，且其薪资和工作条件被擅自更改。

RCN表示，由于“剥削行为”，寻求支持的人数激增。这些行为包括过度工作时间、高额离职费、拥挤且低劣的住宿以及非法收费。该工会的报告警告称，“对那些来到英国支持社会护理系统的员工采取非人道待遇，会对该行业的稳定性构成严重风险”。

此前，安迪·伯纳姆承诺将“倾尽所有”来修复成年人社会护理系统。

RCN的报告调查了2023-25.年期间寻求其支持的383名员工的经历。报告详细列举了雇主利用偿还条款，向在合同结束前试图离职的员工追讨成本的案例，据报道其中一起案例要求的金额高达£25,000. 其他人表示，他们的实际薪资低于约定金额，而有些人则被强迫延长工作时间。

RCN指出，成年人社会护理“深度依赖”移民工人。该行业约30%的岗位由非英国国民担任。

首席执行官兼总书记尼古拉·兰格（Nicola Ranger）教授表示：“就在首相阐述其在英格兰的社会护理计划一周后，这份报告揭露了该行业中正在发生的极其严重的剥削规模。”

英国卫生和社会护理部已被要求就此发表评论。

母公司破产，Raleigh可能面临裁减

作者：ANNA WISE

在荷兰所有者启动破产程序后，英国标志性自行车品牌Raleigh的未来受到威胁。Accell集团旗下的Accell英国和爱尔兰公司已提交了使用接管人的意向通知。

Accell首席执行官约纳斯·尼尔森（Jonas Nilsson）表示，这是一个“极其令人悲伤和沮丧的局面”，但公司已为这家历史悠久的自行车企业的未来“不懈地探索”了每一个选项。

他补充道：“我们目前的重点是支持一个有序的流程，尽可能提供清晰的信息，并与相关法院指定的接管人合作，在情况允许的情况下保留可行的业务和就业。”

该公司在2012年以£7400 万的价格收购了Raleigh，将其纳入包括Haibike、Winora和Ghost在内的自行车品牌阵容中。

Raleigh于1887年在诺丁汉成立，很快成为全球最大的自行车制造商——当时在当地拥有10,000名员工，每年生产高达200万辆自行车。其带有高把手的Chopper自行车成为了20世纪70年代的象征，但诺丁汉的生产于2003年结束——由亚洲工厂取代——其总部随后迁至诺丁汉郡的伊斯特伍德（Eastwood）。

Accell曾在2月份进行过重组，从股东和贷款人处获得了额外资金并减轻了债务。

旅居者营地谋杀案

一名男子因在旅居者营地发生的一起枪击事件被指控谋杀而出庭。35岁的Shane Porter被指控于周日上午在威尔特郡克里克莱德（Cricklade, Wilts）附近杀害了36岁的Jimmy Ward。来自Calcutt的Porter昨日在斯温顿治安法院出庭。他还被指控持有散弹枪。来自卢顿的74岁Eddie Porter和42岁Tammy Brown均被指控协助罪犯和持有散弹枪。他们被还押候审，预计今日将在布里斯托尔刑事法院出庭。

一个被誉为“世界上最美丽村庄”的科茨沃尔德（Cotswolds）旅游热点，去年可能通过停车罚单赚取了£45,000——在七年内增长了2,000%。拜伯里（Bibury）以其14世纪的蜂蜜色石屋而闻名，这些房屋曾出现在英国护照的内页上。《福布斯》此前将其评为世界上最美丽的村庄。但一份独立报告强调了这种全球赞誉如何带来了重大问题。当地居民抱怨村庄狭窄的巷道内存在危险停车和过度旅游现象。数据显示，停车管理员去年在拜伯里开出了651张违停罚单，而2019年仅为28张。格洛斯特郡议会已针对居民的投诉加强了执法。罚金定为£70——如果在两周内支付则减半至£35——这意味着2025年开出的罚单可能产生高达£45,570的收入。

拥堵

这将相当于每月约£3,797，或每周约£900。如果驾驶员支付全额罚金，2019年的28张罚单将产生£1,960。社区代表Craig Chapman表示，许多游客对“村民们非常缺乏尊重”。他补充说，人们会随处停车，即使这意味着阻塞人行道或停在双黄线上。Chapman先生认为，需要坚决执法以保持救护车和消防车的通行路线畅通，并确保行人能够安全地穿过村中心。然而，如此频繁地派遣管理员的成本估计每月约为£4,000，这意味着仅靠罚金收入无法覆盖全部执法费用。作为回应，郡议会计划为24个路边停车位引入付费停车系统，拟议在3月至10月的繁忙时段，两小时收费£6或£7。这些资费已参照其他

游客导致“最美”村庄停车罚款飙升 2,000%

热门地点，官员表示每年潜在收入可达 £218,880。在扣除执法成本后，预计四年内将产生高达 £360,680 的盈余。另外，拜伯里（Bibury）中心一个此前用于大巴停车的行人区域将被永久化。临时路障将被旨在更好地适应历史环境的结构取代。一个焦点小组还在研究村外停车方案，以缓解对居民车道及村庄狭窄道路网络的压力，而一项旨在管理游客数量和拥堵的更广泛的 £175,000 投资计划也在同步进行。议会表示，最新报告中的数字是“绝对最大值”，如果快速缴费或提出申诉，罚款将会减少。格洛斯特郡议会（Gloucestershire County Council）负责人利莎·斯派维（Lisa Spivey）议员表示：“我们希望确保拜伯里的社区得到良好支持——从那些希望管理旅游业的人，到依赖该收入的企业，再到希望度过美好一天的人。村庄接收了大量游客，这导致了拥堵问题。议会采取了积极的执法措施，以确保居民和游客都能享受这个村庄。这涉及共同协作，其中一部分是管理安全、合法且适合村庄规模的停车问题。”

麦克弗森和保拉·利森

法医称被判无罪男子确实谋杀继承人妻子

作者：PAT HURST

一名此前被判无罪、涉嫌杀害其继承人妻子的骗子确实谋杀了她，一名法医如是说。

唐纳德·麦克弗森（Donald McPherson）在 2021. 年因法官指示证据不足而被判定没有杀害 47, 岁的保拉·利森（Paula Leeson）。他曾为她购买了价值 £350 万 的人寿保险。在 2017 年发生所谓的“意外溺水”后数小时内，他从她的账户中提取了数千英镑用于偿还债务。两年前，在南曼彻斯特经营一家设备租赁公司的利森女士家属阻止了他继承其 440 万英镑 estate。一名民事案件法官裁定，53, 岁的麦克弗森在游泳池中非法杀害了她。

在昨天的斯托克波特（Stockport）死因研讯中，法医艾莉森·马奇（Alison Mutch）表示，53, 岁的麦克弗森是唯一从她的死亡中获益的人，并补充道：“因此，我认定他确实谋杀了他的妻子。”

颈部

“她的丈夫压迫她的颈部使其失去意识，导致她的身体掉入泳池。”

首席督察丹尼尔·克莱格（Daniel Clegg）此前曾表示：“这是一起杀人案。她死在他手中。我没有寻找其他嫌疑人。”

代表利森家族的皇家法律顾问（KC）索菲·卡特赖特（Sophie Cartwright）询问他是否认为麦克弗森谋杀了利森女士，他回答道：“正确。”

该警官表示，这是一起冤假错案——目前居住在新西兰的麦克弗森本应被判终身监禁。死因研讯听证会获悉，如果没有令人信服的新证据，就无法进行重新审判。卡特赖特女士表示，家人希望能够接触到麦克弗森笔记本电脑的警方能找到细节以“让他们完成最后一步”。

房地产开发商麦克弗森在因一项 1100 万英镑 bank fraud 被入狱后，使用了多次更名来隐藏过去。他在三个国家 15 年间共有 32 次定罪记录。

麦克弗森一直否认参与妻子的死亡。

房东痛批强制酒吧顾客就座的荒唐企图

作者：詹姆斯·克努基（JAMES KNUCKEY）

一家位于苏豪区（Soho）最具标志性酒吧的女店主表示，禁止顾客在吧台站立“几乎等同于死刑”。威斯敏斯特市议会（Westminster Council）提议限制或取消“垂直饮酒”（站立饮酒）。

但在伦敦市中心经营 The French House 酒吧及餐厅 37 年的莱斯利·刘易斯（Lesley Lewis）称，这些计划是对这家开业于 1891 年的历史场所的“沉重打击”。

由保守党执政的威斯敏斯特市议会正在就鼓励苏豪区及更广泛的西区采用桌边服务的计划进行咨询，以“遏制过度醉酒”。

71 岁的刘易斯女士表示：“如果他们那样做，这几乎就是死刑。如果人们选择使用桌子和侍者服务，那很好——很多地方确实如此，但它们通常是大型场所。”

“我们根本无法这样运作，而且肯定会失去一半的员工，这也是我不想看到的。我正在努力争取留住所有人。”

“这太糟糕了，是对酒吧的又一次沉重打击。”

这家空间紧凑的场所是苏豪区的一家制度性机构。多年来，这里一直是名人们的最爱，Madness 乐队的主唱 Suggs 昨天也在户外享受饮品。

威斯敏斯特市议会否认了该提案等同于事实上禁止在酒吧站立的说法。副议会领袖蒂姆·巴恩斯（Tim Barnes）称此类暗示“完全荒谬”，并补充道：“我们的指导方针简单来说就是鼓励场所管理好他们的顾客，这样人们就不会拥挤在人行道上，过度饮酒也不会干扰路人。”

但刘易斯女士表示，The French House “依赖”于人们能够在户外享用饮品。

酒吧顾客表示，在苏豪区的街道上啜饮饮品是其魅力的一部分。

34 岁的康拉德·兰利（Conrad Langley）正与妻子一起喝酒，他表示：“当你来到苏豪区时，你知道自己期待的是什么。不要扼杀那些已经在遭受苦难的企业。这样做会限制他们的承载能力。”

朋友刘易斯·瓦茨（Lewis Watts，33 岁）和亚当·赖特（Adam Wright，25 岁）也表达了担忧。刘易斯表示在吧台点单是酒吧的“魅力”所在，而亚当则表示他更喜欢在户外喝酒，因为室内很快就会变得“拥挤”。

真实艾尔运动（Campaign For Real Ale）的一位发言人警告称，如果计划实施，一些场所可能会关闭，并表示这像是在“回归”新冠时期的限制措施。

他们补充道：“这将减少社交互动，限制任何场所的人数，并导致一些已经在苦苦支撑的酒吧不再具备生存能力。”

错误之举 该行业已经在工党提高雇主国民保险缴款的压力下摇摇欲坠。英国啤酒和酒吧协会首席执行官 Emma McClarkin 表示：“在每天有两家酒吧关闭，且酒吧经营者每品脱啤酒仅获利 12 便士的情况下，任何减少顾客数量、增加人员成本并进一步挤压运营利润的措施都是一个彻底的错误之举。”英国夜间产业协会首席执行官 Michael Kill 警告称，向增加座位和减少站立空间的转变“有改变这些场所特有特性的风险”。以供应吉尼斯黑啤闻名的 The Toucan 副总经理 George Miles 表示：“酒吧在这个地区能够繁荣是因为这里很独特。”伦敦市长萨迪克·汗爵士（Sir Sadiq Khan）猛烈抨击了该议会的“限制性且反增长的政策”，并表示他将利用政府授予的新权力对其提出挑战。在为这些提案辩护时，Barnes 先生表示：“我们是全国最大的规划机构，拥有约 4,000 家持牌场所。我们拒绝的执照申请不足 1.5%，而且我们非常希望看到威斯敏斯特市议会各处都有繁荣且盈利的场所。正如我们已经明确表示的那样，我们很乐意在许可发放方面与伦敦市长合作，并且刚刚启动了我们自己的活动来推广在苏豪区（Soho）的夜生活。”

真相秀明星因发布关于前女友的帖子被监禁

作者：HELEN WILLIAM

名声扫地的真人秀明星 Stephen Bear 因在社交媒体上发布关于其前女友 Georgia Harrison 的帖子，违反了禁制令而被判入狱。《名人老大哥》（Celebrity Big Brother）的冠军 Bear 对前《Towie》明星 Harrison 女士发表了贬低性言论。

Bear 在 2023 年被处以为期五年的禁制令，这是他因在网上分享 女士的性爱录像而被判刑的一部分。检察官表示， 女士提供了截图和屏幕录像，证明 Bear 在被禁止的情况下仍对其进行指责并发表评论。

英国皇家检察署（CPS）表示，来自伦敦东部 Walthamstow 的 36 岁男子 Bear 试图通过指称 女士及其母亲共谋妨碍司法公正，来质疑其定罪。Bear 还发起了一项在线请愿，寻求对重新审理的支持，并试图获取 女士的银行对账单。他在切姆斯福德刑事法院被判处 16 个月监禁。

《Loose Women》节目主持人 Nadia Sawalha 威胁要对 ITV 采取法律行动，称其在讨论类节目中将其“时而启用，时而剔除”，并声称她是因为支持巴勒斯坦而被除名的。

这位 61 岁的明星指称，在一次要求将其开除的“升级活动”之后，她被移出了该系列节目。她补充道：“任何人都不应该被霸凌而失去工作。”

除了起诉威胁外，Sawalha 女士还发起了一项请愿，要求 ITV 公开道歉并让她恢复在节目中的位置，该请愿已获得 20,000 个签名。

在一段分享至 Instagram 的视频中，她表示：“我想说，事情发展到这个地步我感到非常难过。请相信，我曾向 ITV 的内心和理智发出呼吁，但没有效果。在我 2023, 年 12 月开始公开支持巴勒斯坦之后，我成为了升级的抹黑活动、

Sawalha 女士（右二），与 Christine Lampard、Judi Love 和 Jane Moore（从左至右）同台，投诉、敌对媒体报道以及要求将我从《Loose Women》中除名的针对性呼吁的目标。”

这位嘉宾表示，她在 7 月被移出了这个热门节目，并指责 ITV “永远在改变标准”。她说：“他们无法保证不会再次将我剔除，因为这将取决于说了什么，尽管我被雇佣是因为我在讨论节目中是一个有主见的女性，而且我从未在节目中直接提及或谈论过巴勒斯坦。这只是所发生事情的冰山一角。”

这位主持人发起请愿旨在证明“支持我们的人比反对我们的人多得多”。她补充道：“不仅仅是我因为信仰而受到这样的针对。还有教师、医生、护士、慈善机构和超市员工以及学生，他们也根据自己的良心发声，并遭受了与我类似的命运。够了。我们需要向 ITV 以及其他团体和公司发出一个明确信号，即我们不会被吓到沉默，任何人都不应该因为遵循良心并公开反对残酷的压迫而被霸凌而失去工作。”

ITV 已被联系以寻求评论。Sawalha 女士于 1999 年加入该 ITV 节目，是与 Kaye Adams、Jane Moore 和 Karren Brady 一起担任的最初嘉宾之一。她在 2002 年休产假，并于 2013 年回到该节目。作为一名出色的演员，她还因在 1990 年代后期在《东区东区》（EastEnders）中饰演 Annie Palmer 而闻名。

魔幻蘑菇致幻剂“可帮助治疗抑郁症”

一项研究发现，服用一次魔幻蘑菇中含有的天然致幻剂，可以显著缓解对其他治疗方法产生耐药性的抑郁症。在首次由公共资金资助的该疗法临床试验中，10名患者中有4名的症状得到了缓解。一名参与者将此次治疗描述为有时“非常感性”，但表示这帮助他们更深入地理解了自己的抑郁症。

这项由伦敦国王学院领导并由 STORM NEWTON 发表在《自然医学》（Nature Medicine）杂志上的试验，涵盖了60名对此前两种治疗方法均无反应的抑郁症患者。其中一半人被给予25mg的裸盖菇素（psilocybin），另一半人则被给予安慰剂。两组在整个过程中都得到了心理支持。

服用裸盖菇素的人员中，三周后有超过10人中的4名达到了治疗反应阈值，六周后这一比例上升至56%。相比之下，安慰剂组患者的比例仅为3%。此外，在三周内，该疗法帮助40%的患者进入缓解期——这意味着其症状降低到不再符合临床标准的程度——而安慰剂组的比例为3%。

伦敦国王学院的詹姆斯·鲁克（James Rucker）教授表示：“裸盖菇素疗法的更广泛证据库正在迅速增长，且看起来越来越有前景。”

斯图尔河（River Stour）的污水

对我们受污染水道的“可耻”裁决

作者：STEPH SPYRO 环境编辑

英格兰的水道被贴上了“国家之耻”的标签，仅有14%处于健康状态。此次时隔六年的首次更新评估了4,658条河流、湖泊、河口、运河和沿海水域，评估标准包括野生动物、水质和物理栖息地。

2025年，仅有14.3%的地表水体具有整体良好的生态状态，其余则受到污水溢出、农业径流以及来自城镇和道路的污染物（如垃圾、燃料和农药）的损害。

GMB工会全国官员加里·卡特（Gary Carter）表示：“英格兰水道的糟糕状态是国家之耻的标志——私有化的水务公司必须承担绝大部分责任。他们被允许将污水排入我们的河流、溪流和湖泊，因为巨额股息和高管的高薪被置于修复破旧基础设施之上。”

简讯 (Short)

昨日公布的环境署（Environment Agency）数据显示，仅有15%的河流生态状态评级为“良好”或更高，这使得水体远未达到政府在2027年之前将75%恢复至“良好”的目标。

绿色和平组织（Greenpeace）政治负责人艾米·麦卡锡（Ami McCarthy）表示：“这些触目惊心的发现应该敲响警钟。”

“政府需要采取紧急行动，停止使用那些正在破坏我们土地的化学品。”她敦促部长们支持农民，以遏制“失控的化肥和农药使用”，并推广自然友好型实践。

环境大臣安吉拉·伊格尔（Angela Eagle）表示，数据表明需要进行“彻底的变革”。

行业组织 Water UK 表示，到2030年，各公司将在生态改善方面投资创纪录的£220 亿美元。

在这场热浪中，雨水已成池塘记忆

担忧地标因酷热干涸而永远消失

这场热浪对一些村庄池塘及其野生动物造成了如此严重的破坏，以至于人们担心它们可能永远无法恢复。池塘是景观的一部分，但这次打破纪录的高温天气导致数十个池塘干涸，杀死了依赖它们的动物。除非得到妥善维护，否则英国 500,000 个池塘和封闭水体中的一部分可能难以在未来的高温天气中生存。

池塘消失的村庄包括诺福克郡伯纳姆马基特附近的斯坦霍（Stanhoe），以及剑桥郡的巴顿（Barton）和威肯（Wicken）。在威尔特郡德维齐斯（Devizes），一个名为“克拉默”（The Crammer）的 300 年历史的池塘——它出现在 18 世纪的“月光耙手”（Moonrakers）传说中——目前处于 1976 年热浪以来的最低水位，现在大部分是干裂的泥土。

据传，这里曾是走私者试图从池塘中打捞走私白兰地时被抓获的地方，他们通过指向月亮的倒影并声称自己是在用耙子捞一块圆奶酪，从而欺骗了税务官员。

一名居民表示：“随着气候变化，我们无法否认夏天正变得越来越热，也许我们只需要接受这是一个季节性特征。”

与此同时，诺福克郡斯坦霍的居民在最近的热浪导致鸭子栖息地干涸后，开始轮流为当地的鸭子提供饮用水。鸭子们在干涸河岸周围的芦苇丛中遮阳，并在干涸的泥地上啄食。池塘旁的一块告示牌写道：“一小群当地居民共同制定了轮值表，为他们为鹅和鸭子放置的容器提供饮用水，并为它们提供食物。”

在距离剑桥西南四英里的风景如画的小村庄巴顿，村里的池塘也消失了。该池塘主要由附近道路的径流水组成。2022, 年水干涸时，村民们救出了 400 多条鱼。向北 20 英里处的威肯，他们的村池塘同样遭受干旱之苦，其高脚鸭舍目前无人使用。

萨里郡雷德希尔（Redhill）的居民对一个干涸的历史池塘感到担忧，他们担心除非得到更好的维护，否则它将永远无法恢复。当厄尔斯伍德公地（Earlswood Common）的链条池（Chain Pond）在 7 月干涸时，居民们留下了装满水的充气戏水池供野生动物使用。当地人正敦促雷盖特和班斯特德（Reigate and Banstead）区议会对其进行清淤并疏通进水口。

在东萨塞克斯郡布赖顿附近的法尔默（Falmer），池塘已完全干涸。环境署表示，由于许多物种难以适应干旱条件，鱼类救援工作量巨大。环境署的一位发言人表示：“长期干热的天气创造了给鱼类种群带来巨大压力的条件。我们目前正在进行大量的鱼类救援工作。”

预计本周末气温将降至 8 月的平均水平，稳定在 15℃ 至 24℃ 之间——而此前连续多日维持在 30℃ 的高温。但一些预报员预测，南部地区的气温将再次上升，使部分地区重新回到热浪阈值之上。气象局表示，许多最需要降雨的南部地区“可能仍将保持干燥”。

由 TOM WILKINSON 报道 一名将受害者肢解并将其尸体藏在充满混凝土的桶中的前屠夫被判处至少 35 年监禁。

农民克里斯托弗·赖特（Christopher Wright），73, 岁，上个月被判定谋杀理查德·戴森（Richard Dyson），55, 岁。戴森于 2019, 年失踪，随后其尸体被隐匿了六年。戴森住在南约克郡巴恩斯利霍兰（Hoyland）赖特土地上的一辆车里，由其女儿报案失踪。警方的失踪人口调查随后演变为谋杀案调查，去年警员在拖车上的一个桶中发现了被隐匿的尸体。

戴森先生为这位农民打零工，但后来两人发生了争执，因为身为古董枪械收藏家的赖特怀疑他偷窃自己的财物并将其转卖。

令人心碎的经历。赖特射击了他的手臂和胸部，并在接下来的几天里将其肢解，从建筑材料商那里购买水泥，然后将尸块隐藏在一个蓝色桶中。随后，赖特将桶放入拖车，并说服一名无辜且不知情的邻居存放该车辆。赖特的童年好友卡尔·施瓦尔贝（Karl Schwalbe），72岁，因协助掩盖罪行而被判定共谋妨碍司法公正罪名成立。他被判处三年监禁。在谢菲尔德刑事法院，科特法官（Mr Justice Cotter）表示，赖特必须被判终身监禁，最低刑期为35年（扣除还押时间），且很可能在狱中死去。法官表示：“你曾担任屠夫，具备实施如此恐怖行径的技能，这种事很少有普通人能下得了手。”在受害者陈述中，戴森先生的女儿贝瑟尼·丹蒂（Bethany Dainty）谈到了长期以来不知道父亲发生了什么的痛苦。她说：“我无法悲痛，因为我不知道真相。”当警方搜查其房产时，赖特在酒店里祈祷上帝赦免，并祈祷他的武器不被发现的画面被拍了下来。赖特被判定谋杀罪、共谋妨碍司法公正罪、妨碍合法埋葬罪以及枪支犯罪罪名成立。在法庭外，首席督察安迪·诺尔斯（Andy Knowles）表示：“赖特和施瓦尔贝知道理查德发生了什么，即使面对不利证据，他们仍继续否认责任，让理查德的家人忍受审判，听取令人心碎的证据和令人痛苦的证词。”

从战争到和平...

冲突地区狮子的新生活

一家英国慈善机构将两头狮子从战争地带救出，带往非洲开启自由的新生活——在那里，它们第一次走在草地上。本-祖尔（Ben-Tzur）和Ori在出生后不久就被从母亲身边带走，作为奖杯宠物在不同主人之间转手，成为了病态社交媒体趋势的受害者。它们被贩卖到以色列，其中一头被发现被绑在树上，另一头则在地下室里。正当它们的运气似乎有所好转时，却因中东冲突而受困。但感谢国际动物保护者协会（Animal Defenders International），它们永远的家将是该慈善机构在南非拥有455英亩的保护区，在那里它们可以与其他狮子一起学习咆哮并培养动物本能。

Jan Creamer和Tim Phillips与Ori合影 作者：DANNY BUCKLAND

ADI创始人Jan Creamer和Tim Phillips陪同这两只大猫经历了从以色列经开罗和法兰克福前往约翰内斯堡的50小时旅程。来自萨里郡的Tim表示：“在抵达我们保护区的那一刻，它们发生了明显的改变。”

咆哮

“在第一晚睡在干草窝里之后，它们走出房舍，规划了领地的布局，信心也随之增长。”

“这次救援是一次非常困难的行动，因为战争经常导致领空关闭，没有离开以色列的货运航班。一旦我们收到航班的消息，就立即抓住机会。”

“其他狮子发出咆哮表示欢迎，你可以看到它们的自然本能开始觉醒。它们还很年轻，目前还不会咆哮，但很快它们就会加入保护区早晚的合唱。”

25 名蒙面男子将一辆汽车开进高速公路服务区，袭击其自动取款机和老虎机。路人 Rupon Miah（34岁）在凌晨2点拍摄的视频显示，一辆看似黑色的日产 Juke 正在大厅内倒车。可以看到自动取款机明显受损，戴着巴拉克拉法帽的男子走出车外并打开后备箱。随后，他们前往 A1(M) 上的 Wetherby 服务区的老虎机区域。

来自伦敦南部水晶宫的 Rupon 表示：“。在他们撞击第一台机器后，我开始录像。我看到四个男性全部走出车外，戴着面具，巴拉克拉法帽。”

“他们当时就在袭击服务站的老虎机游戏室。基本上，在那之后我走到室外，走向我的车，看到他们——”

作者：EMILY PHILLIPS

“——开车离去，后备箱开着，里面装着那台自动取款机。”

北约克郡警方的一位发言人表示，针对 7月 29日 事件的调查正在进行中，但尚未有人被捕。该警队在其 Facebook 页面上呼吁目击者提供线索，称：

“一辆被认为是旧款日产 Juke 的黑色车辆被用于反复撞击一台独立自动取款机。”

“四名戴着面罩和手套的男子参与其中。两名嫌疑人随后将据信是一条链条连接到一台 &PLAY 现金支付机上。该机器被装入日产 Juke 的后部。”

“随后在利兹地区寻获了一辆日产 Juke。该车辆已被纵火焚烧，被盗的现金机在车内被发现。”

警方在一次突击行动中缴获了高达 4.25 吨的非法生肉，目前正在审问四名男子。这批可能被污染的巨量食品是由当地议会、食品标准局（FSA）及其国家食品犯罪单位从西米德兰兹郡 Dudley 一个未经批准的切割厂中没收的。

目前，FSA 和 NFCU 正与当地当局合作，追踪这些非法肉类并将其从货架上清除。

Dudley 议会领导人 Patrick Harley 议员表示：“这次行动证明了强大的合作伙伴关系在保护居民和维持食品供应链信心方面的价值。”

勤勉

“通过与国家食品犯罪单位和其他执法伙伴合作，Dudley 议会官员帮助识别并解决了对公众健康构成潜在风险的活动。”

“非法肉类的销售绕过了旨在保护消费者的严格安全和卫生标准，这使得此类执法行动至关重要。”

“我想感谢所有参与机构的协作工作。”

“我们将继续与合作伙伴合作，对任何在法律之外运行并危及公共安全的人采取强有力行动。”

Will Simpson，# 突击工厂缴获巨量非法肉类

四名男子正在接受审讯。一名国家食品犯罪调查组（NFCU）的地区情报官员表示，刑事调查已经启动，并补充道：“食品企业必须对其供应商进行尽职调查，以确保其履行法律责任，销售安全且与标注相符的食品。我们对非法肉类进入食品链的威胁保持警惕，并将继续采取行动保护公众。任何对食品犯罪有怀疑的人都可以安全且保密地向NFCU举报。您可以通过网络或拨打免费电话 0800 028 1180 举报食品犯罪。”此次联合行动还包括西米德兰兹郡警方、英国税务海关总署（HMRC）以及内政部的代表。根据食品标准局（FSA）的说法，非法进入食品链的肉类绕过了英国严格的安全和卫生检查，这意味着它可能携带可能使消费者面临风险的疾病和污染物。

在被占领的欧洲：逃避、背叛与逃亡

作者：汉娜·布里特 (Hannah Britt)

奈杰尔·哈弗斯 (Nigel Havers) 非常渴望拥有自己的“鲍比·尤因时刻”，让《 Coronation Street》（Corrie）中的骗子刘易斯·阿彻 (Lewis Archer) 从死而复生，与奥德丽·罗伯茨 (Audrey Roberts) 结婚。《达拉斯》的粉丝们会记得苏·尤因 (Sue Ewing) 是如何醒来，走进浴室发现前夫鲍比站在那里——从而证明他的死亡不过是一场梦。演员奈杰尔表示，饰演奥德丽的苏·尼科尔斯 (Sue Nicholls) 有个想法，可以让刘易斯以失散多年的双胞胎身份回到这条鹅卵石街道。

74 岁的奈杰尔说：“苏·尼科尔斯对我说，‘你知道你在澳大利亚有个双胞胎兄弟吗？’我说，‘天哪，谁知道这件事？’这会非常热闹，不是吗？所以永远不要说绝不可能。”

在 2009 年至 2019 年期间，男伴刘易斯在韦瑟菲尔德 (Weatherfield) 三次出现，他追求奥德丽，随后带着从博彩公司偷来的钱逃离英国；之后他返回并与奥德丽复合，但两人随后分手，他为了报复与奥德丽的女儿盖尔 (Gail) 发生婚外情，并带着她的 £40,000 逃往伯利兹。后来，他作为一场假灵媒骗局的一部分回归，但再次赢得了奥德丽的心。更多的诡计接踵而至，但他在卧室地板上心脏病发作去世，手中还拿着一枚计划用来求婚的订婚戒指。

他说：“我非常享受拍摄那部剧的每一刻。团队、工作人员，他们简直太棒了，就像一个真正的大家庭。”

获得英国电影电视学院奖 (Bafta) 的奈杰尔还表示，他很想在《竞争者》(Rivals) 中饰演一个角色，这是一部基于吉莉·库珀 (Jilly Cooper) 的《鲁特希尔编年史》(Rutshire Chronicles) 系列小说改编的 Disney+ 喜剧剧集。奈杰尔说：“我想参加这部剧——那是极好的电视节目。”

他在 2007 年结婚的第三任妻子乔治亚娜·布朗夫曼 (Georgiana Bronfman) 则更希望他进入《恋爱岛》(Love Island) 的别墅。他说：“那是她爱看的节目。”

他的下一个分量十足的角色是在四集剧集《黄金男孩》(Golden Boys) 中。该剧灵感来自瑞典历史上最大的金融犯罪案——Trustor 案，《黄金男孩》讲述了两名表亲的迅速崛起和戏剧性陨落，他们策划了一场在整个欧洲引起轰动的金融抢劫案。

1997 年在斯德哥尔摩，刚出狱的金融罪犯约阿希姆·波塞纳 (Joachim Posener) 与他的表亲托马斯·吉桑德 (Thomas Jisander) 一起，利用神秘的英国贵族莫恩勋爵 (Lord Moyne)（又名乔纳森·吉尼斯 Jonathan Guinness）作为门面，对一家瑞典大型投资公司发起了恶意收购。现年 96 岁的莫恩勋爵在瑞典被宣布破产，接受了审问并被起诉，但最终因证据不足而被宣判无罪。

饰演莫恩勋爵的奈杰尔说：“这是一个极具挑战的角色。这些罪犯想要一个来自贵族阶层的人来让事情看起来体面。所以他们雇佣了吉尼斯家族的一员莫恩勋爵，以增加可信度。这是一个绝妙的故事，而且整个故事都是真实的。”

奈杰尔作为魅力男人的名声在 1981 年饰演安德鲁·林赛勋爵 (Lord Andrew Lindsay) 时得以确立。

与菲奥娜·富勒顿 (Fiona Fullerton) 在《魅力男》(The Charmer) 中合作。

在《唐顿庄园》(Downton Abbey) 中饰演赫普沃斯勋爵 (Lord Hepworth)。

在 1980 年的情景喜剧《别等我》(Don't Wait Up) 中。

1984 年的《印度之行》(A Passage to India)。

在新剧《黄金男孩》以及与妻子乔治亚娜合作的电影《烈火战车》(Chariots of Fire) 中。

在跨越六十年的职业生涯中，他还出演了《印度之行》、《太阳帝国》(Empire of the Sun) 和《告别国王》(Farewell to the King) 等经典作品。他出演的其他热门作品包括《魅力男》、《唐顿庄园》、《寻找爱丽丝》(Finding Alice)、《布莱恩·潘的摇滚生活》(The Life of Rock with Brian Pern)、《贝尼多姆》(Benidorm)，以及最近的《绅士们》(The Gentlemen) 和《黑色行动》(Black Ops)。

从 1983 年到 1990 年，他饰演了医生 --- DIST 27

演员奈杰尔·哈弗斯并不排除在《Corrie》中回归的可能性，但他说...

“我很想在《竞争者》（Rivals）中演个角色……那是极出色的电视节目”

汤姆·拉蒂默在喜剧《别等我》（Don't Wait Up）中出演，该剧在巅峰时期吸引了 1600 万 名观众。但如今大多数粉丝是通过一部他虽然出演但从未观看过的节目认识他的。他说：“人们走过来对我说，‘噢，你在《名人 Gogglebox》里太幽默了！’而我回答，‘真的吗？’因为我甚至没看过。我只是坐在那里和朱利安·克拉里一起大笑。”

展望未来，奈杰尔表示他从不渴求某个角色，因为他曾为此吸取过惨痛的教训。这位演员说：“我最喜欢的书之一是 H.E. 贝茨的《风为法国而立》（Fair Stood the Wind for France）。几年前，我突然意识到 BBC 要把它拍成电视剧。我想，‘那是我的角色。’我去参加试镜并说，‘咱们开门见山吧，这是我最喜欢的书，我的年龄合适，类型也完全正确，你们不如直接把角色给我。’我没得到这份工作。我感到非常窘迫。我想，‘我绝不能渴求一份工作。’现在，如果有人给我提供工作，我总是感到惊讶。我进入试镜时完全没有任何期待。”

奈杰尔有四个孙辈，第一段婚姻中有一个女儿。他与妻子乔吉亚娜形影不离。他说：“我演个人秀，她陪我巡演。没有她我不会巡演。她会几次上台帮忙。但她完全不说话，因为那样我就得给她付钱。”

今年早些时候，这对夫妇开始滴酒不沾。奈杰尔解释道：“我以前不是个大酒鬼，但年初我患了胸部感染，酒精的味道变得很糟糕。从那时起我就没喝过酒。现在，我不喝酒，不抽烟，饮食非常小心，并且大量运动。我太无趣了。我一点也不想念酒精。我妻子也戒了。人多才安全。”

除了他将在 10 月重新推出的个人秀《奈杰尔·海弗斯：胡说八道》（Nigel Havers: Talking Bllcks），他很快将在伦敦帕拉第姆剧院（London Palladium）进行他的第 11 次圣诞剧（panto）演出。奈杰尔说：“这能让你在圣诞期间有事可做。今年我们演《灰姑娘》，由道恩·弗伦奇和詹妮弗·桑德斯饰演丑陋姐妹——所以请系好安全带准备迎接刺激吧。”作为这两位喜剧演员的至交，他补充道：“她们真的太幽默、太甜美了。不过在台上我会刁难道恩的。她很喜欢那样！”

● 《黄金男孩》（Golden Boys）从周一开始在 Amazon Prime 的 Viaplay 上线。

宠物猫遭两只恶犬袭击身亡，夫妇呼吁制定新法

作者：莫莉·鲍威尔 (MOLLY POWELL)

一对夫妇的宠物猫被两只试图将其“撕成两半”的恶犬袭击致死，他们呼吁对暴力宠物的主人实施更严格的监管。24 岁的凯蒂·罗杰斯 (Katie Rogers) 和 23 岁的科尔·丹尼克 (Cole Dennick) 正致力于通过发起“洛基法案” (Loki's Law) 运动，防止类似袭击再次发生。他们表示，事发当天就报告了这一情况，西米德兰兹郡警方正在调查。

凯蒂说：“在监管方面需要做更多工作，宠物主人应该承担后果。我们认为自己再也不会养宠物了，这段经历太痛苦了。”

这对夫妇说，他们 9 岁的短毛猫洛基 (Loki) 很少远离家门，平时就在前花园里放松度日。科尔说，他与洛基之间有着非常特殊的纽带，在 2020 年他因小脑炎（控制平衡和运动的大脑部分发炎）险些丧命后，洛基一直陪伴在他身边。

这对夫妇表示，几周前洛基在伯明翰西希思 (West Heath) 地区的前草坪上晒太阳，当时两只“大型”犬进入了他们的花园并向它冲去袭击，一只抓住了它的喉咙，另一只抓住了它的腿。

凯蒂说，她 70 岁的父亲米克 (Mick) 成功地将狗赶走，但洛基的颈部留下了深深的咬伤，后腿骨折。在这对夫妇将其送至兽医处之前，它发生了抽搐。他们表示，兽医告诉他们，伤势导致了心脏和肺功能衰竭，它可能再也无法正常行走或活动，因此他们决定将其安乐死。

这对夫妇说，这次袭击让他们深受创伤，两人都在接受私人心理治疗，而身为配送司机的科尔已请假停工。

科尔说：“我因为之前的濒死经历患有 PTSD（创伤后应激障碍），现在又因为这件事患上了。洛基是我能够挺过来并康复的唯一原因之一。我从未经历过这样的悲痛。”

法律系毕业生凯蒂补充道：“我认为我们再也不会感受到像那天那样剧烈的痛苦。我们目前在生活中没有见过比这更糟糕的情况。”

这对夫妇在洛基大约 18 个月大时收养了它，形容它是一只非常“充满爱心、淡定且顽皮”的猫。科尔补充说：“我们以前总说它像一只拉布拉多，因为每当我们牵狗散步时，它都会跟着我们在街区周围转。”

这对夫妇说，洛基是一只户外猫，但大部分时间都在花园里度过。7 月 25 日，当家人在屋内时，洛基像往常一样躺在前草坪的阳光下“观察世界”。两只狗在下午 3 点左右袭击了它。

科尔和凯蒂说，这次袭击被邻居的闭路电视（CCTV）拍到了。他们不确定狗的品种，但说它们“体型非常大”。

科尔说：“一只抓住了它的喉咙，另一只抓住了它的腿。就像它们试图把它撕成两半一样。”

凯蒂说，与他们同住的父亲听到骚动后立即冲到外面，通过踢走恶犬将它们从洛基身上弄开。他们的其他宠物——15 岁的猫 Socks 和 9 岁的狗 Caspar 此时都在思念它。

西米德兰兹郡警方表示：“我们正在调查伯明翰 Aldersmead 路两只危险失控犬的报告。在努力查明具体情况的同时，当地调查正在进行中。任何掌握更多信息的人可以通过报案号 20 / 338858 / 26 拨打 101 报案。”

“我因为之前的濒死经历患有 PTSD，现在又因为这件事患上了……我从未经历过这样的悲痛”

拍摄现场故事

McKenna 与极具“爪”才的演员阵容共同出演，天空才是极限 编辑：KATHRYN CRAVEN 我们正处于儿童暑假的半途中，现在可能正是你开始感到精疲力竭……抱歉，是点子用尽的时候。对于家中的年幼成员，可以尝试《汪汪队立大功：恐龙电影》（Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie）。 在配音阵容中，Snoop Dogg 和 Paris Hilton 饰演夫妻 Dave 和 Nancy，Carter Young 饰演 Marshall，Rain Janjua 饰演 Chase，而《少年谢尔顿》主演 McKenna Grace, 20, 则担任主角 Skye，她是汪汪队的首位女性成员。 她在 YouTube 上分享了参与该项目的兴奋之情。 “我真正希望通过这部电影带给人们的是与朋友和家人在一起的体验。当我想到去电影院时，我想起的是和我的父亲在一起。所以能给别人带来这样的体验，我认为这非常特别。一种共同的体验。” 在电影中，汪汪队在一座恐龙居住的岛屿上紧急迫降，并陷入了一系列的救援行动中。在他们的新朋友 Rex（一只运动能力强的伯恩山犬）的帮助下，以及

“能做一些没那么严肃的事情，到处跑跑大喊大叫，真是太棒了”恐龙专家，他们帮助将濒危物种从市长 Humdinger 挖掘岛屿资源的计划中拯救出来。McKenna 补充道：“能为这样一个标志性角色配音，并成为一个陪伴了这么多人童年的精彩系列的一部分，真是太令人兴奋了。能为家庭观众制作内容，做一些没那么严肃的事情，到处跑跑大喊大叫，真是太棒了。”“如果这是你的第一部电影，我想说，带上你的 Paw Patrol 周边产品，准备好与恐龙一起进行一场有趣的冒险……而且当你第一次去[电影院]时，最重要的是你的爆米花。”从 Paw Patrol 到另一只“狗”，说唱巨星 Snoop，54 岁，对他以人类角色出演这件事这样说道：“太疯狂了，他们让我参与这部电影，但我却不能扮演一只狗。不过我是 Snoop Dogg，所以我可以兼顾这两个世界的最佳部分。”现已在电影院上映 --- express.co.uk SWIST 2026年8月7日 星期五 3 --- 32 ORIST express.co.uk # 电影 你的下一部观看指南 由 DAMON SMITH 撰写 # SHARDSHOOTER # IT RULER FAULT # TO HIT TARGET 激情燃烧 Mitchell 饰演 Hendricks # SEVEN SNIPERS 分级 15, SKY CINEMA / NOW ★★ Sandra Sciberras 的这部快节奏动作惊悚片完全兑现了它的承诺：七名男女狙击手在澳大利亚一个孤立的牧场周围互相追踪，在令人印象深刻的远距离进行交火，有时还掩护在军事伪装之下。编剧 Andrew O'Keefe 并没有花精力去刻画角色，因为大多数人在不到 90 分钟的汗水淋漓的银幕时间里注定会留下致命的出口伤。这场混乱的中心是母亲兼退役射手 Kris Hendricks (Radha Mitchell)，她的呼号是 Voodoo Child，这是向她的近名之辈 Jimi Hendrix 致敬。Kris 在昆士兰州经营着一个牧场，而她面临的最大挑战似乎是承受 16 岁女儿 Anja (Annabel Wolfe) 的一阵轻蔑风暴。一名意外造访该房产的访客 (Ryan Kwanten) 开了警告枪，预告了 The Dragon (Tim Roth) 的即将到来，他与 Kris 的个人关系很容易推断出来。她向前战友 White Dog (Damien Ryan) 以及一个由 Milk (Ioan Gruffudd) 和 Kaldayev (Bianca Wallace) 组成的小型保护团队寻求帮助。一旦他们得知面对的是 The Dragon，各种糟糕的情况便接踵而至。《Seven Snipers》在导演 Sciberras 通过望远镜瞄准镜观察精心设计的动作序列时具有一定的惊险感，但很明显，Kris 的援军仅仅是炮灰，且角色死亡的简单方式变得重复。由 Mitchell 和 Wolfe 热情演绎的敌对母女关系带来了情感上的回报，O'Keefe 的剧本精准地击中了那个目标。

《超级警察 3》(SUPER TROOPERS 3) 分级 15, 现正上映 ★★

这部由杰·钱德拉塞卡尔执导的 2001 年搞怪喜剧的第二部续集，记录了一群倒霉的佛蒙特州州警的冒险与不幸，其乏味程度几乎与前作的粗俗和排外一样令人发指。这部副标题为《法瓦的婚礼》(Farva's Wedding) 的电影，观众应该以最强烈的措辞说“我不愿意”，因为这场失准的闹剧未能传达出《警察学院》系列那种无政府主义的精神。法瓦（凯文·赫弗南 饰）正准备为他与索尼的妹妹萨丽塔（汉娜·西蒙 饰）举行一场奢华的印度婚礼。新娘的父母（伊克巴尔·塞巴，萨基娜·贾弗里 饰）为此专程飞来，但索尼（钱德拉塞卡尔 饰）完全没有庆祝的心情。他决心拆散这对情侣，利用自己作为法瓦伴郎的权力地位来揭露新郎最糟糕的品质。同事警察福斯特（保罗·索特 饰）、麦克（史蒂夫·莱梅 饰）、兔子（埃里克·斯托尔汉斯克 饰）以及渴望表现的新手科伊·伯恩斯（安德鲁·迪斯穆克斯 饰）被卷入了部门间的战争之中。。关于马科夫斯基上尉（纳特·法克森 饰）种族主义的重复笑料在剧本将其终结前一小时就已经变得毫无生气。婚礼上关于新郎大象的不必要肢体幽默，让人联想到萨莎·拜伦·科恩 2016 年喜剧《格里姆斯比兄弟》中一段冗长的场景，令人感到不适。在这些蓄胡子的威胁者之间一个较为安静的时刻，一名警员大声质疑道：“有没有可能，我们不再是自己故事里的酷家伙了？”毫无疑问，是的。

在这部极受欢迎的儿童电视系列剧《汪汪队》的大电影扩展版中，没有太大的恐龙，也没有太小的狗狗。影片通过揭开一座居住着史前生物的隐藏岛屿，在侏罗纪公园展开了一场快节奏的冒险。导演卡尔·布伦克和共同编剧鲍勃·巴伦没有浪费精力为这些庞然大物的存在编造伪科学解释，而是将精简的 88 分钟片长全部用于四足和两足动物的惊险冒险。

拜德（亨利·博兰 配音）以及汪汪队成员蔡斯（Rain Janjua 配音）、马歇尔（Carter Young 配音）、洛基（William Desrosiers 配音）、 rubble（Lucien Duncan-Reid 配音）、天空（Mckenna Grace 配音）和 Zuma（Nylan Parthipan 配音）安全地扑灭了一艘船上的火灾，并驾驶着他们的浮动总部驶入一场风暴，导致驾驶台上的仪器发生故障。船只在一座充满被认为早已灭绝的奇迹的岛屿上搁浅，包括布拉基龙和棘龙群，以及一只名叫蒂米、充当遇难犬雷克斯（Hayden Chamberlen 配音）坐骑的顽皮霸王龙。遗憾的是，贪婪的亨丁顿市长（Ron Pardo 饰）在岛上开采未经切割的钻石，并粗心地激活了一座休眠火山。《汪汪队：恐龙电影》是这个摇尾巴传奇系列迄今为止最令人兴奋和娱乐的篇章，拥有动感的动作场面和甜蜜的情感，马歇尔在其中学习到了成为一只永不放弃的狗狗的价值。布伦克的电影向最好的作品——《玩具总动员 3》——学习了如何在最后的烈火场景中设计令人心跳停止的危机。引用拜德在一次大胆救援前的话：系好安全带，狗狗们！

《夏日之书》（THE SUMMER BOOK）

分级：PG，现正上映 ★★★

电影以沿海岩池中锯齿状冰块并排漂浮的震撼画面开场，《夏日之书》在芬兰湾一次田园诗般的度假中，在悲痛之后缓缓融化，展现出和解与治愈。八次奥斯卡提名获得者格伦·克洛斯（Glenn Close）以其不减的光芒，助力导演查理·麦克道尔（Charlie McDowell）对托芙·扬松（Tove Jansson）自传体小说的温婉改编；挪威摄影师斯图拉·布兰特·格罗夫伦（Sturla Brandth Grovlen）则提供了大自然在盛放与狂怒之时的绝美影像。

九岁的索菲亚（Emily Matthews 饰）斜靠在船边，与插画师父亲（Anders Danielsen Lie 饰）和祖母（克洛斯 饰）一起前往一座纯净而偏远的岛上，那里有他们简朴的木屋。祖母的咳嗽和喘息暗示，这可能是他们所有人共同度过的最后一个夏天。这个天使般的小女孩在岩石上俯瞰她那布满海藻的王国，而她的父亲在拆除包裹木屋的木窗板时，偶然发现了一顶属于亡妻的系带太阳帽。“我会找个地方放好，”祖母温柔地保证道，并将帽子移出视线。

自从死亡侵入索菲亚的童年以来，这个跨代家庭的首次造访浸透了痛苦的回忆。“自从她去世后，他不再爱我了，”女孩在毯子下向祖母忧伤地倾诉。这位阅历丰富的女家长安慰孙女她错了，随后，这位白发守护者敦促父亲在此时的黑暗与悔恨中更加努力，以确保他不会同样失去女儿。“我不会永远在这里，”随着夏至临近，她以比以往任何时候都更紧迫的语气提醒他，此时邻居埃里克森（Ingvar Sigurdsson 饰）送来了一盒需要及时晾干以备夏至使用的烟花。

《夏日之书》从作家扬松（以创作和绘制《姆明》而闻名）的生活中汲取灵感，是对一种无论在任何年龄都会留下不可磨灭伤痕的普世人生礼赞的、令人愉悦的复古研究。在罗伯特·琼斯（Robert Jones）的剧本中，克洛斯饰演的永远乐观的祖母扮演着调解者的角色，她与索菲亚分享对自然的热爱——无论是脚下柔软的苔藓，还是在阳光照耀的水面下穿梭的小鱼群。克洛斯由衷的表演占据主导地位，她在与初次演戏的马修斯之间温柔而凄美的交流中，催化出一种美好的默契。丹尼尔森·利饰演的鳏夫一直处于背景之中，直到剧作上的戏剧必要性明确要求他挺身而出。

作曲家哈尼亚·拉尼（Hania Rani）创作的叮咚钢琴主导的管弦乐配乐偶尔在环境噪音可能显得更自然、更有冲击力的地方介入，但麦克道尔的电影在处理角色自我反思时，总体上采用了“少即是多”的方法。就像电影开头那冻结的分形马赛克一样，与我们爱的人共度的宝贵时光消融得太快了。

NIMRODS：一部 Green Day 喜剧 分级 15，周二起在电影院上映 ★★★

在 Green Day 主唱兼吉他手 Billie Joe Armstrong 的一段轻松开场白引导下，《Nimrods》是一部“关于怀揣大梦想并追随内心”的电影，灵感源自这支摇滚乐队的早年时光。编剧兼导演 Lee Kirk 执导的这场随心所欲的公路旅行俏皮地向包括《假期计划》（Ferris Bueller's Day Off）在内的成长喜剧致敬，配乐采用了该乐队过往作品集中的 20 多首歌曲，包括《When I Come Around》和《Basket Case》。

当汤米（Mason Thames 饰）接到 Green Day 鼓手 Tré Cool 的电话，邀请这个青少年的乐队 Analog Dogs 为洛杉矶的一场跨年演唱会开场时，他无法抑制自己的兴奋。然而，这个改变生活的机会其实是汤米的哥哥韦恩（Keen Ruffalo 饰）设计的一个恶作剧，而这个弟弟却落入了这场荒诞的骗局之中。汤米偷了韦恩的车——一辆黄色出租车——带着队友查德（Ryan Foust 饰）和弗雷德（Kylr Coffman 饰）从堪萨斯城开车前往演出地。在途中，三人在一间喧闹的乡村西部路边酒吧参加乐队比赛，表演了翻唱版《Dominated Love Slave》，汤米还与自由奔放的歌女奥利维亚（Mckenna Grace 饰）经历了一场浪漫的邂逅。

《Nimrods》取名自该乐队 1997 年的专辑，是对无忧无虑且混乱的青春的一次轻快庆祝，并如预料般在最后以一场现场演唱会达到高潮。“我们是青少年，我们拥有无限的选择！”汤米在早期的场景中如此激励道。Thames 不需要费力弹奏就能让我们对这位讨喜的英雄产生好感，而 Kirk 的剧本则精准地捕捉到了基调，巩固了旅途中以及旅途之外的兄弟情谊。

BOOKS 你的下一本书

由 HANNAH STEPHENSON 主持

本周作者

弗兰克·加德纳 (Frank Gardner)

BBC 记者讲述他的野生动物冒险经历及其第五部卢克·卡尔顿 (Luke Carlton) 小说

BBC 安全事务记者弗兰克·加德纳直到最近一直住在酒店或朋友家，因为他顶层公寓的电梯坏了。“依赖轮椅生活是很令人沮丧的。我不喜欢‘被轮椅禁锢’（wheelchair-bound）这个表达，因为我会滑雪、潜水和开车，所以我并没有被轮椅禁锢。”“但因为轮椅，确实有很多事情是我无法做到的。”

现在电梯恢复运行，他回到了位于伦敦的公寓，那里可以俯瞰泰晤士河，但他表示出于实际原因，他将不得不搬走。这位屡获殊荣的记者是中东专家，继续报道国内外的安全、国防和恐怖主义问题。2004年，他与摄影师西蒙·坎伯斯 (Simon Cumbers) 在沙特阿拉伯利雅得遭到基地组织恐怖分子的伏击，导致身体部分瘫痪。坎伯斯被杀，弗兰克被枪击六次，被遗弃在原地等死。

在经历了 14 次手术后，他在一年内恢复了新闻报道工作，但如今他表示，他仍然承受着脊髓损伤带来的剧烈疼痛，导致他膝盖以下瘫痪并携带造口袋。“我的左腿有疼痛。这是由于我的伤势引起的一种坐骨神经痛，没有任何药物、手术或其他方法能奏效。”“有时感觉就像有人用大锤敲击我的膝盖内侧。”

‘我愿意瞬间抛弃这一切，只要没被枪击’

回顾改变他生活的那一天，弗兰克回忆起他与西蒙如何与两名沙特政府陪同人员同行，对方想向 BBC 团队介绍该地区，却在无武装护卫的情况下无意中将他们带到了一个极其危险的地点。当时基地组织的六名核心成员正开车经过，看到弗兰克和西蒙在面对镜头录制节目——随后枪击开始。随后，警察赶到并将弗兰克送往医院。

现年 65 岁的弗兰克曾居住在埃及、巴林，并探索了沙特阿拉伯的许多地区。他继续在 BBC 工作，同时也抽出时间创作了一系列关于军情六处 (MI6) 特工卢克·卡尔顿的扣人心弦的现实题材惊悚小说。他的第五部作品《弹道》(Ballistic) 讲述了一艘俄罗斯最先进的核潜艇在北极水域下携带某种可能永远改变世界的东西。情节涉及卡尔顿帮助一名了解该潜艇的俄罗斯间谍跨越边界进入芬兰，并与一名强悍的芬兰女特种部队军官合作。

弗兰克成功地将大量背景事实编织进他这部扣人心弦的虚构小说中。“在所有的小说中，我都试图将它们锚定在现实中，”他说。“我发现我作为安全事务记者从事日常工作的环境有着无穷的吸引力，我遇到了非常有趣的人，在某些情况下，他们掌握着各种绝不会与我分享的信息。但你可以感觉到他们在阴影中运作的生活状态，无论他们是特种部队、间谍、反恐警察还是其他身份。”

他利用自己的广博知识来保持场景的真实性，并咨询了具有丰富海军经验的退休军官。卡尔顿不是 007，但他所处的世界带有那种色彩。“卡尔顿是个相当聪明的人，”他说。

弗兰克是通过他来间接体验生活吗？“有一点，”他微笑着说。“我不假装我是他，因为首先，他没有坐轮椅；其次，更重要的是，我从未加入过特种部队，而他在皇家海军陆战队度过了 12 年。”

弗兰克在结婚 22 年后于 2019 年与妻子阿曼达 (Amanda) 离婚，目前已有新的感情关系，他不愿讨论私人生活——尽管他强调离婚是和平的。他承认工作影响了家庭生活，因为他经常在没有通知的情况下被派往全球各地，永远不知道会离开多久。

并非陷入疯狂 (NOT GOING BALLISTIC) 弗兰克表示他的创作不是一个 007 类型

“担任驻外记者是一项相当耗费心神的工作。你需要一个非常体谅且有耐心的伴侣。通常，如果双方都从事国际新闻工作，关系会经营得更好，因为他们知道该期待什么。”“在开罗住了两年后，我当时的妻子说：‘我们受够了。’我们的女儿那时还很小，经常生病。食物不好，空气也污染。”他确实有遗憾，尤其是那次前往利雅得的致命之旅。“人们说：‘是的，但想想你之后所成就的一切。’我愿意瞬间抛弃所有这一切，只要能免于被枪击。最重要的是，我的摄影师西蒙·坎伯斯（Simon Cumbers）被谋杀了。这夺走了他家人的生活。”对于伤情的长期预后，他的看法很现实。“我喜欢开玩笑说，我想在我大约 90. 岁的时候，他们会找到治疗我这种程度脊髓损伤的方法。所以我也许能走上几周，我会成为你们见过的最健康的 90 岁老人。”在工作之余，弗兰克（Frank）开始了自然摄影，冒险前往印度观看老虎，在南极洲划皮划艇观察座头鲸——并且很想去斯瓦尔巴群岛看北极熊和海象，去巴西看美洲豹。或许他会从安全记者转型为野生动物电影制作人？“大卫·爱登堡爵士（Sir David Attenborough）是不可替代的，”他表示，“但如果有人给我提供类似的职位，我会心动的。”由弗兰克·加德纳（Frank Gardner）撰写的《弹道》（Ballistic）由 Bantam 出版，售价 £20。现已上市。

本周推荐四本新书

与 MATT NIXSON 和 DAVID PHILLIPS 共同探讨

《CITY OF TRAITORS》，作者 ALLE GERLIS，精装本，£18.99 故事背景跨越六个国家，拥有一个由虚构和真实人物组成的庞大角色阵容，《City of Traitors》精彩地捕捉了第二次世界大战后期伴随而来的、关于控制欧洲的地缘政治角力。Gerlis 是一位大师，能将多条故事线巧妙地编织在一起，使其成为一部令人兴奋且令人满足的读物。故事的核心人物是“Archie”，一名向英国和俄罗斯提供信息的英国苏联特工，但他怀疑谁才是自己真正的上司。有七个人被怀疑是叛徒，但等待间谍因犯错而暴露身份的策略并未取得成效。现在，随着红军从东面逼近德国，盟军从西面推进，在柏林的废墟之中，一场戏剧性的对决即将上演。令人心跳加速，极其精彩。9 / 10

《THE KILLERS' MARK》，作者 N M CRAVEN，精装本，£22 在离开国家犯罪局（National Crime Agency）后，Washington Poe 和 Tilly Bradshaw 开始从事自由职业——他们卡莱尔办公室门上的招牌写着“雇佣侦探”。但客户一直很难找，这在很大程度上是因为 Poe 特立独行的举止。因此，当满口脏话的 15 岁少女 Esmerie Blue 来寻找她失踪的母亲时（其母亲被推定已死亡，但现在通过脚底的一个纹身在一部色情电影中被确认身份），他们接下了这个案子。五年前，一个隐藏在防篡改保险箱中的恐怖秘密引发了一场大规模调查，而 Poe 和 Tilly——犯罪小说中最不循规蹈矩且极具娱乐性的搭档——在不知不觉中被卷入了后续影响。在这一百万册畅销系列中的第八部且最优秀的小说中，谋杀、混乱和三合会接踵而至。Craven 标志性的黑色幽默与戏剧冲突的结合如此令人上瘾，以至于应该附带健康警告。9 / 10

《THE BRITISH AGENT》，作者 SIMON CONWAY，精装本，£16.99 军情六处（MI6）特工 Agent Chuff 被派遣到乌克兰，调查发送到这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家的高端英国武器的最终去向，因为担心这些武器被走私给第三方。她遭到伏击，三枚致命的“星光”（Starstreak）便携式防空系统导弹被盗。她必须在这些导弹被用于在美国制造暴行之前将它们追踪回来——这使她潜入执行一项涉及阴谋论者、叛乱分子和华盛顿情报主管的任务。Chuff 必须智胜所有人才能生存。这就是由前陆军军官、武器专家和援助工作者 Simon Conway 创作的这部极其可信、跨越全球的惊悚小说。如果你喜欢惊悚小说，《The British Agent》是完美的夏季读物。节奏从未放缓，两页封面之间包裹着武器级的才华，仿佛随时都会爆炸。8 / 10

《THE DERELICTS: THE HEART AND ART OF VETERANS' RUGBY》，作者 PAUL MOSLEY，平装本，£10.99 新锐作者 Paul Mosley 这本令人心酸地幽默且引人入胜的书，不仅是对退伍军人橄榄球的赞歌，更是对所有团队运动的赞歌。任何参加过——或认识参加过——业余运动且显然已过“保质期”的人都会产生共鸣。叙事主线是 Derelicts 队在泥泞的不匹配赛季中蹒跚前行，但荣耀在于细节——角色阵容以及 Mosley 对他们的贴切描述，例如“半人半吉尼斯”。真正的战友间的打趣，以丰富的措辞以及对语言和隐喻的驾驭能力呈现，这掩盖了作者本人曾作为一名笨拙的支撑前锋（prop forward）的职业生涯。书中触及了所有方面，从开球前刚把球员输给资深队的噩梦，到赛前为了保护年老身体而涂抹油脂。强烈推荐。8 / 10

现在请听 与 KAY HARRISON 一起

历史上最伟大的阴谋论

伊丽莎白二世是一只能变换形状的蜥蜴，而埃尔维斯还生活在我们这个扁平星球的某个地方。不要让真相妨碍了一个绝佳的阴谋论，对吧？有些理论已经流传了几个世纪，因此《历史上最伟大的阴谋论》第三季有充足的素材，该节目将探讨六个最根深蒂固的理论，并邀请一群风趣的专家来区分事实与纯粹的愚蠢。首先，同样利用了我们对皇室丑闻的热爱：王位继承人曾是一名连环杀手吗？活泼的主持人罗布·阿尔塔（Rob Altar）就“维多利亚女王那个爱派对的孙子就是开膛手杰克——1888年至少5名女性谋杀案的真凶”这一说法，采访了《黑暗伦敦》（Dark London）的作者、犯罪历史学家德鲁·格雷（Drew Gray）博士。格雷博士承认：“没有确凿的证据或直接的物证，因此这给大量的推测留下了空间。”有些人甚至认为开膛手是个女性，或者是一个测试手术工具的时间旅行者，亦或是路易斯·卡罗尔（Lewis Carroll）通过隐藏在书中的字母易位词向读者坦白。但毫无疑问，电视和电影普及了这样一种观点，即王位第二顺位继承人阿尔伯特·“埃迪”·维克多王子（Prince Albert "Eddy" Victor）才是幕后主使，约翰尼·德普（Johnny Depp）主演的《地狱之门》（From Hell）以及迈克尔·凯恩（Michael Caine）的开膛手系列剧集都让我们对此深信不疑。甚至还有一部即将上映的新电影《黑色宫殿》（Black Palace），围绕着皇室掩盖真相的故事展开。对于信奉者来说，遗憾的是，这位王子的不在场证明似乎比 Pizza Express 的披萨还要坚实。期待能获得深刻的见解——该节目由 History Extra 制作，那里是那些“历史上最伟大”系列播客（领导者、城市、战役、丑闻、菜肴）的聚集地。其他接受检验的理论包括：耶稣基督与抹大拉的马利亚育有秘密子嗣，其后裔生活在我们之中（感谢丹·布朗）；1908,年一艘外星飞船在西伯利亚坠毁，导致了被称为“通古斯大爆炸”的神秘爆炸；以及我最喜欢的一个，即保罗·麦卡特尼在20世纪60年代死于车祸并被一个长相相似的人取代。披头士播客《Nothing is Real》的共同主持人史蒂文·考克罗夫特（Steven Cockcroft）对此有话要说。这也是一次对我们自身大脑的好奇凝视，探讨为什么我们喜欢并会对这些疯狂的旧理论产生某种痴迷。

歹徒：送奶工的故事

重大犯罪及其更显眼的人物是永恒的迷人之源——也是播客的素材。BBC 5 Live 的《歹徒》（Gangster）系列在深入挖掘我们的犯罪地下世界方面做得非常出色，此前已经报道了火车大劫案犯罗尼·比格斯（Ronnie Biggs）和“黑寡妇”琳达·卡尔维（Linda Calvey）。这一次，英国最大的可卡因贩子布莱恩·布伦丹·赖特（Brian Brendan Wright）成为了主角，他的故事既扣人心弦又令人气愤。因为他总是能“送达”，他被称为“送奶工”，他在赛车圈建立起体面的生活，并潜逃了十多年。利维·海多克（Livy Haydock）回归并采访了卡特尔内部人士，追踪令人咋舌数量的可卡因是如何从哥伦比亚来到我们的海岸。该系列并不回避残酷的现实，还采访了已故 Radio 4 主持人比尔·弗罗斯特（Bill Frost）的妹妹，后者曾陷入毒瘾的深渊。

英国播客奖 (BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS)

距离每位播客创作者都梦寐以求的奖项颁奖礼还有两个月，由听众决定权主导的“听众选择奖”前 20 名入围名单已经公布。我们将看到 Ant 和 Dec 是否会延续他们包揽所有奖项的习惯，其作品《Hanging Out》已入围。名单中充满了名人组合，包括 Jo Whiley 和 Zoe Ball 的《Dig It》、Strictly 组合 Gemma Atkinson 和 Gorka Márquez 的《Lost In Translation》，以及 Amir Khan 博士和 Cherry Healey 的《No Appointment Necessary》。其他竞争者包括 Yoto Daily（获得了疲惫不堪的父母们的投票）、Waitrose 的《Dish》、Olivia's House、Table Manners、Twinhood、Dan 和 Phil 的《Hard Launch》，以及去年的获胜者《Betwixt The Sheets》。请通过 Spotify 应用程序查看完整名单并在 8 月 28 日前投票，颁奖典礼将于 10 月在伦敦 O2 场馆的 Indigo 举行。

超富人群的手术秘密，CHANNEL 4 晚上 8 点

EFL 杯直播，ITYL，晚上 7:30 是的，足球回来了。真正的足球，不像世界杯那样充满了那些可怕的商业化。首先，由上图中的 Mark Pougatich 主持，我们迎来 EFL 第一轮的米德尔斯堡对阵雷克瑟姆。该赛事也被称为 Carabao 杯。此前曾被称为 Capital One 杯，再之前是 Carling 杯，之前是 Worthington 杯，之前是 Coca-Cola 杯，之前是 Rumbelows 杯，之前是 Littlewoods Challenge 杯，之前是 Milk 杯，以及（这个名字得有多荒谬？）足球联赛杯。

科西嘉：地中海之珠 5, 晚上 8 点 在这个美好的节目中（你知道它一定会很美好，因为是由 Joanna Lumley 旁白）我们遇到的人之一是 Hubert Boursie，一位出生于巴黎的艺术修复师，他正在修复一座纪念拿破仑·波拿巴的纪念碑，拿破仑是科西嘉最著名的儿子。听 Hubert 讲解他的工艺非常迷人。如果你想温习法语，这也很方便。例如，我现在知道了这句话的法语怎么说：“我要用极细的喷砂去除这一层。”在我的假期中肯定会派上用场。

巧舌如簧 Nabeel 每月支付 £1,000 用于治疗

表面功夫的高昂代价

为了和几个朋友喝一杯，准新娘汉娜（Hannah）几乎止不住地微笑。“你们注意到有什么不同了吗？”她问他们。你认为他们会给出以下哪个回答？1) 没。你看起来和平时一样。2) 有，你还带了一个 Channel 4 的拍摄团队。3) 是嘴唇还是怎么回事？如果你观看《Surgery Secrets》的最新一集，就会发现答案是 3。这并不理想，因为答案错了，但至少比答案 1 和 2 好。汉娜实际上做了液态隆鼻（“噢，我的天！我看到了！看起来真的很棒！非常自然！”）。此外，她还做了面部线雕。她对结果非常满意，认为这 £2,250 花得很值。

在切希尔郡，51 岁的房地产投资者纳比尔（Nabeel）对他每月花在面部护理、按摩、激光和先进的射频微针（搭配鸡源外泌体——在你询问之前先说明，这是修复 DNA 和刺激胶原蛋白的“微观信使”）上的 £1,000 也有同样的感受。你想知道他为什么花这么多钱吗？“如果我去参加会议，面对我的银行经理或一个非常有权势的人，比如亿万富翁，”他告诉我们，“我想向他展示我有自律能力。”这很有道理。“你在身体、心理、情感、精神和审美上照顾好自己，这表明你有自控力。你爱自己并照顾好自己，你对待投资者的资金也会如此。”

本集中最令人惊讶的案例是 35, 岁的扎拉（Zara），她是一位屡获殊荣的牙科保健员，但对自己的笑容不满意。她认为露龈过多。令人惊讶的原因有两点。第一是她所做的牙龈修整手术揭示了她的牙齿比她之前知道的要长。多余的牙龈一直掩盖了这一点，但这种情况很快就会结束。而让我惊讶的第二件事是？我完全不知道担任牙科保健员竟然能获奖。下次见到我的保健员时，我一定要告诉她。“Ig hoo ho hoo han rin a roars？”我会这么说。

最佳生活方式 RANGUIN HUNT: 20 YEARS OF THE ONE SHOW 周四, 12:15PM 丹尼·塞巴斯蒂安（Danny Sebastian）访问 The One Show 演播室，会见主持人亚历克斯·琼斯（Alex Jones）和罗曼·肯普（Roman Kemp），了解他们对古董和收藏品的喜爱。

最佳纪录片 OUR LIVES 周四, 7:30PM 一群特定年龄的女性组成了一支朋克乐队。这是热门剧集 Riot Women 的剧情，但也是纽波特（Newport）六位女性及其乐队 NaNaz 的真实经历。

最佳剧集 BEIGERAC 周四, 8PM 调查正威胁要演变成吉姆（Jim，达米安·莫洛尼饰）与亚瑟·韦克菲尔德（Arthur Wakefield，菲利普·格莱尼斯特饰）之间的意志之战，且局势愈发激烈。

最佳情景喜剧 ANN ORCID 周四, 9:30PM 苏（Sue，苏·约翰斯顿饰）试图通过邀请儿子迈克尔（Michael）和蕾妮（Renee）共进晚餐来修复关系。机器人护理员琳达（Linda，戴安·摩根饰）能否通过抛出一个重磅炸弹来化解灾难？

海外罪犯把这个国家当成玩物

解决我们监狱容量过剩危机的方法就在这里。将所有被考虑提前释放的外籍囚犯驱逐出境，将所有在狱中申请庇护的罪犯驱逐出境，并将那些非法入境的罪犯驱逐出境。以上所有这些人都没有为我们的社会做出任何积极贡献。他们伤害我们，耗费我们的资金，并浪费# 今日信件

杀害哈珀警官的凶手之一即将获释 # 提前释放是对勇敢英雄的侮辱 针对应急工作人员的袭击并非新鲜事：这种情况一直在稳步增加，上届政府曾誓言要收紧法律，使监禁成为可能的选项（见8月6日《“提前释放是对英雄警察的‘背叛’”》）。当然，法律是对公众关注的膝跳反应，很少有效或被执行，且在法律条文中积灰。那些进入法院的案件通常以非惩罚性的结果告终，比如刑事行为禁令。因此，哈珀警官的两名凶手有资格提前释放并不令人惊讶。是的，政府流了很多鳄鱼的眼泪，但安迪·伯纳姆的致命缺陷是忽视公众舆论，就像那些已经成为历史的前任首相一样。迈克·克伦普，布里奇诺斯，萨洛普 我们公务员的时间。要让人们知道，不能再让任何一个外国罪犯玩弄这个体制了。布雷特·特拉福德，法恩公园，汉普郡 # 法国——做我们付钱让你做的事，别再抱怨了 真是厚颜无耻（见8月4日《“法国对改革英国党将移民扔回法国海滩的计划感到愤怒”》）。难道他们不能明白，如果他们一开始就阻止这些人离开他们的海岸——我们为此支付了数百万英镑——那么英吉利海峡两岸的问题都会消失吗？不仅我们会高兴，那些住在非法移民扎营沿海地区的不幸法国居民也会非常高兴。给法国人的信息：只要做我们多年来一直付钱让你做的事，就能让我们大家都开心。帕特里夏·伊斯特，吉尔福德，萨里郡 # 停止给马克龙钱，今天就将所有非法移民遣返 没有人希望人们死在海峡中，但现在是实施封锁的时候了。法国毫无兴趣，那么我们为什么要继续忍受那些暴躁的非法移民强行进入英国？政府必须采取行动，暂停所有进一步向法国的付款，并告诉埃马纽埃尔·马克龙，我们将把任何载有非法移民的船只送回法国。正如英国边境局前总干事所说，没有任何法律能阻止我们。如果我们现在不采取行动，我们就是让自己处于任人宰割的境地。事实上，我们应该将目前在英国的所有非法船只移民全部搜捕起来并将其遣返。彼得·鲁什顿，乔利，兰开夏郡 # 西班牙对待入侵者的做法是对的，给他们零好处 我们能从塞乌塔和摩洛哥的涌入中吸取教训吗？我了解到那些抵达的人没有获得食物、饮料、金钱或住所，因此大多数人都回到了摩洛哥。也许我们应该采取同样做法，停止让他们在这里过得如此舒适。简·查普曼，普雷斯顿 # 由于毫无头绪的工党和保守党，英国正在“淹没” 非法移民的入侵，加上所有已被起诉并填满我们监狱的外籍人士，需要一个面向未来的积极长期战略。就像住房一样，监狱需求以目前的速度增长是不可持续的——英国正在“淹没”。我们需要一个有意志力解决这一局面的政党。遗憾的是，“建制派”政党已经失败了。杰拉尔德·诺登，桑德巴赫，切希尔郡

泰斯与改革英国党成为双重标准调查的受害者

“双重标准”是一个已经进入现代政治各个方面的词汇，而这里就是另一个例子。改革英国党（Reform UK）副党魁理查德·泰斯（Richard Tice）已被议会标准监督机构列入调查范围（见“议会调查泰斯关于以色列问题”，8月 4 日）。专员并未给出确切原因，这非常可疑。泰斯先生采取了反对反犹主义的立场，而我们却得到了一个难以解释的反应。绿党显然是反以色列的，但却未受干扰。在这里，我们似乎进入了双重标准调查的维度。整体上需要被调查不一致性的是议会本身。 大卫·弗莱明，诺福克郡，唐汉姆马基特

社会主义者掌权两年——停止推卸责任

每当现任政府遇到问题、危机或不知如何应对时，它总是急于表示这是“继承自前任政府”的（见“工党的下一个把戏全是烟雾弹”，8月 6 日）。事实上，工党在当选前的14年里一直在对此抱怨，现在选择接手这些问题。既然选择领导，他们就有责任解决问题。毫无疑问，工党也会不顾良心地采取一切手段来侵占我的遗产，使其不归我的家人所有。 唐·克隆比，莱斯特郡，艾什比-德-拉-祖奇

81年前 (1945) 我们报道了美国向日本城市广岛投下了世界上第一枚原子弹。该武器的破坏力相当于20,000吨高能炸药。据估计，在随后的爆炸和火风暴中，有80,000人死亡，之后又有数千人死于辐射照射。对广岛和长崎的袭击仍然是战争中唯一使用核武器的记录。

39年前 (1987) 琳恩·考克斯成为第一个从美国游泳到苏联的人，她在两小时六分钟内从阿拉斯加的小迪奥米德岛穿过白令海峡到达俄罗斯的大迪奥米德岛。这位美国公开水域游泳运动员的壮举有助于缓解美国总统罗纳德·里根与苏联领导人米哈伊尔·戈尔巴乔夫之间的冷战紧张局势。

54年前 (1972) 乌干达独裁者伊迪·阿明给60,000名亚洲公民90天时间离开该国，让他们在这一前英国殖民地留下自己的房屋和企业。约30,000名乌干达亚裔逃往英国，其中许多人在没有任何补偿的情况下被驱逐。

Admiral利润受汽车保险下滑拖累

保险巨头Admiral的利润出现下降，原因是该公司在英国汽车业务中的已赚保费较低，从而拖累了整体表现。该集团上半年的税前利润骤降18%至£4.292 亿，而营业额持平，为£31.1 亿美元。首席执行官Milena Mondini表示，市场在2024年底和2025年非常疲软，因此该保险公司在年初提高了价格，以匹配赔付通胀。她补充说，预计这一策略将在下半年产生回报。

在汽车部门，Admiral报告其电动汽车（EV）保险业务增长了27%。同时，对其免费订阅服务的需求也有所增加，该服务旨在帮助分担电动汽车的所有成本。Mondini表示，由于电动汽车是“对地球非常有益的特性”，Admiral从很早阶段起在电动汽车领域就具有“极强的竞争力”。

尽管英国汽车业务面临不利因素，但该集团的欧洲业务在去年录得60 万英镑m亏损后，转而实现1720 万英镑m的利润。

作者：MARIA WARD-BRENNAN

Mondini表示，她对法国市场“感到特别自豪”，该市场正以“非常强劲的利润率”运行，并经历了两位数的增长。当地客户数量增长了5%，首次突破1200 万。

Admiral的股价在昨日早盘上涨4.4%。这意味着该股自年初以来已上涨超过五分之一。

Hargreaves Lansdown的高级股票分析师Matt Britzman表示：“标题中的利润下降只讲述了故事的一半。是的，Admiral感受到了去年汽车定价疲软的影响，但在内部，它正很好地应对周期的转变。”

“同时有令人鼓舞的迹象表明，Admiral正变得不仅仅是一个英国汽车故事。”

“家庭业务、欧洲业务和Admiral Money都在向正确方向发展。短期收益可能仍会有一些波动，但回归增长的路径正变得更加清晰，为更强劲的2027年奠定的基础正在到位。”

WIZZ AIR受中东战争影响

伊朗的冲突增加了廉价航空公司Wizz的成本压力

中东冲突导致喷气燃料价格飙升，导致Wizz Air的利润大幅下降。这家廉价航空公司第一季度净亏损€1.982 亿（1.7 亿英镑），而去年同期净利润为3840万欧元。

这家富时250指数（FTSE 250）集团的总收入微增5.5%至€15 亿美元，乘客人数增加25.1%至超过2100 万。但由于票价走低挤压了利润，每可用座位公里的收入下降了8.1%。

Raymond James的Gerry White表示：“Wizz Air的第一季度业绩令人失望。尽管乘客人数和收入增长强劲……但更高的燃料成本和较低的票价挤压了收益，凸显了成本压力如何继续抵消运力增长带来的收益。”

股价下跌4.9%至每股1,089.

财富管理公司获得助力

Quilter 营收增长，资产增加四分之一

财富管理公司 Quilter 公布了创纪录的净流入额。今年上半年，其管理及行政资产总额增长 25% 至 £1574 亿美元。这一增长是由核心净流入额 32% 的增幅驱动的，从前一年的 45亿英镑 增加至 60亿英镑，此前其两个客户渠道的客户活跃度均有所提升。营收微增 5% 至 3.79 亿英镑，原因是管理费收入的增加被股东资金产生的投资收益下降所部分抵消。税前利润达到 1.12 亿英镑。该公司将其中期股息提高至每股 2.1p，并完成了其 1 亿英镑 股票回购计划中的 6840 万英镑。首席执行官 Steven Levin 表示：“我们的战略使我们能够为英国家庭提供财富解决方案。这些成果是围绕顾问与客户之间个人关系的特性而构建的。”

萨菲·奥斯本（SAFFIE OSBORNE）昨天表示，她在 2026 年取得的成功证明了她正处于未来挑战骑师冠军的资格之路上。这位 24 岁的骑师将在明天于雅士谷赛马场举行的迪拜免税舍加杯（Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup）中，率领一支由前冠军或现任冠军瑞安·摩尔（Ryan Moore）和迪兰·布朗·麦克莫纳格尔（Dylan Brown McMonagle）组成的英国及爱尔兰队。

奥斯本（右图）在本赛季已获得 40 场胜利，在骑师排名中升至第七位，得益于在 Weatherbys 超级短途赛（Weatherbys Super Sprint）和 Moet & Chandra 国际赛中的高关注度胜利，她的奖金收入超过了 2024 年的最佳记录。

“任何在这个行业开始工作，却不想成为冠军骑师的人，都不应该从事这份工作，因为它如此艰苦且充满压力，如果你不以顶峰为目标，那么老实说，我不知道你为什么要做这个，”她说。

“在 2024 年，我骑过很多获胜马，但我缺乏骑乘顶级赛马的机会，而这种情况现在开始改变了。”

“然后去年我一直被问题困扰。我受伤了两次，就在赛季重新开始起色时，我不得不提前结束赛季。”

“感觉就像没有任何事情能步入正轨，然后你内心深处会希望自己没有陷入瓶颈，或者没有达到你能力的上限。我认为今年证明了情况并非如此。”

奥斯本在雅士谷赛马场已获得 21 场胜利，其中包括在她唯一一次参加舍加杯时获得的两次胜利，以及在乔治国王日（King George day）获得的三连冠。

劳伦斯准备好在海丁利球场迎来两年来首场测试赛 作者：DAVID CHARLESWORTH

丹·劳伦斯（DAN LAWRENCE）被选定在后本·斯托克斯（Ben Stokes）时代的英格兰首场测试赛中出场，由乔丹·考克斯（Jordan Cox）在 No.3 击球，因为雅各布·贝塞尔（Jacob Bethell）将缺席整个巴基斯坦系列赛。前副队长奥利·波普（Ollie Pope）回归担任击球和守门员替补，而快球手布赖登·卡斯（Brydon Carse）和萨姆·库克（Sam Cook）也被召回，入选本月在海丁利和勋爵球场举行的前两场测试赛的 16 人名单。国家选拔员马库斯·诺斯（Marcus North）透露，萨姆·库兰（Sam Curran）曾被重点考虑接替最近退役的斯托克斯，但由于持续的小伤，英格兰决定加强其击球阵容。劳伦斯最后一次在 14 场测试赛中出场是在 2024 年 9 月，当时他担任临时开局击球手，但由于今年在萨里郡队表现出色并获得五个郡冠军赛百分，他将被安排在 6 号位。虽然首席旋转球手肖艾布·巴希尔（Shoaib Bashir）被保留，但劳伦斯的兼职离手旋转球意味着新队长乔·鲁特（Joe Root）在 8 月 19 日开始的利兹系列赛揭幕战中，可能会派出四名一线快球手。

“很容易陷入我们失去了本（斯托克斯）这个事实中，”诺斯（右）说道。“但这不仅仅是为了选一个全能球员而选全能球员。如果我们打算选择一名对等替代球员，他们必须具备在测试赛水平取得成功的能力和技能水平。”

“萨姆确实是我们认定的那种球员。但我们觉得他的身体状况还没完全恢复。他是一个我们非常重视的人，我们认为他在未来能作为全能球员为我们发挥作用。”

“我们选择了劳伦斯，因为我们觉得他能给我们带来最强的击球阵容。我们觉得他比上次为英格兰队出战时成为了一个更先进、更优秀的球员。”

贝塞尔在英格兰赢得对阵印度的单日国际系列赛期间右膝受伤，导致他无法参加“百球赛”（The Hundred），且未提供其回归的时间表。这为考克斯打开了大门，考克斯在 6 月英格兰 2-1 输给新西兰的系列赛中，在 7 号位完成了期待已久的首秀。他在埃塞克斯队担任 4 号位击球手，并拥有在前郡队肯特队担任开局击球手的经验。

“如果我们不觉得他有能力，我们就不会把这个家伙放在 3 位，”诺斯说。“他很有个性，是一个极强的竞争者，且内心自信。”

新任主教练斯蒂芬·弗莱明（Stephen Fleming）对阵容提供了一些建议，但直到今年冬天才会正式接管，目前由马库斯·特雷斯科西克（Marcus Trescothick）临时监督巴基斯坦系列赛。

“我们必须确保我们的选拔和理念与斯蒂芬保持一致，”诺斯说。“如果我们在这个系列赛中前进，却与斯蒂芬对我们作为一支球队未来的看法相矛盾，那是毫无意义的。”

“他全程参与了所有的会议和讨论。”

英格兰对阵巴基斯坦前两场测试赛名单 J Root（队长）, J Archer, G Atkinson, S Bashir, H Brook, B Carse, S Cook, J Cox, B Duckett, M Fisher, E Gay, D Lawrence, O Pope, G Robinson, J Smith, J Tongue.

特纳的职业生涯就此结束

英格兰和汉普郡快球手约翰·特纳（John Turner）宣布在 25. 岁时立即从所有形式的板球运动中退役。出生于南非的特纳（下）在 2024, 英格兰访问西印度群岛期间参加了 2 场 T20 和 2 场 ODI，但因背部压力性骨折已缺阵一年多。自 2021, 首秀以来，他在为汉普郡参加的所有形式的 53 场比赛中取得了 97 个三击 wicket，他表示：

“成为职业和国际板球运动员一直我的梦想，能为汉普郡和英格兰队效力，简直就是实现了童年时的梦想。”

“然而，我决定退役，这是我必须做出的最艰难的决定之一。”

“压力性骨折……以及我的受伤记录，自然地让我思考我的未来。”

跨栏选手Jake希望凭借地缘优势在辉煌的英联邦运动会上占据领先地位

英联邦运动会 英联邦运动会 格拉斯哥 约瑟夫·桑德斯（JOSEPH SAUNDERS）报道

新星Jake Minshull旨在下周在伯明翰举行的欧洲田径锦标赛上证明，没有什么比家乡更亲切的地方。这位21岁的400米栏选手目前正在这座第二大城市攻读人类科学学位，来自附近的考文垂。他每周在亚历山大体育场跑道上训练三次，这使他拥有地缘知识，他希望在面对欧洲顶尖选手的挑战时能充分利用这一优势。

他表示：“这感觉就像是一场主场赛事，我觉得我对这里非常熟悉。”

“我知道那里的天气会如何。我已经准备好了。在大学二年级时，我觉得所有的训练都让我感到压力很大，发现自己一直在奔波，所以我将第三年的学业分开了。”

“我有计划地安排，在某个部分投入一定的精力，然后在另一个部分全力以赴。”

“可能需要某种特定类型的人才能将两者都做到高水平。”

在5月的世界接力锦标赛上，Minshull获得了4x400米铜牌，并在最近的格拉斯哥英联邦运动会上进一步提升了他的名声，获得了一枚他认为“本不该得到”的400米栏银牌（下方，庆祝照）。

Minshull补充道：“这感觉非常超现实。我一直为了这样的时刻而训练，能获得一枚奖牌是非常特别的。”

“在我的想法中，我认为我可以拿到奖牌，但想法与实际行动之间还是有一定差距的。”

“这为我准备欧洲锦标赛带来了巨大的信心提升。”

“我绝对希望能获得更多这样的时刻。”

“在英联邦运动会上我本不该拿到奖牌，所以让我们看看在欧洲锦标赛上是否能再次创造奇迹。”

他的主要竞争对手将是德国的Emil Agyekum（27岁）以及挪威的奥运冠军兼世界纪录保持者Karsten Warholm（30岁）。

作为在伯明翰参加比赛的98人Novuna GB & NI代表团的一员，Minshull承认：“这是一个竞争非常激烈的领域。目前参加这个项目的选手的数量之多简直令人疯狂。”

“最显而易见的关注对象是Karsten。我倾向于认为我和他是相似的运动员，在步幅模式以及比赛进攻方式上是一样的。”

“如果能和他同场竞技，那将非常酷。”

Novuna是英国田径协会的官方金融合作伙伴，也是GB & NI田径队的骄傲赞助商。从日常目标到世界级梦想，Novuna支持全英国数百万人的雄心——从支持英国企业和个人的计划，到助力英国田径在世界舞台上发力。欲了解更多信息，请访问 www.novuna.co.uk

贝内特跨越最大复出障碍

作者：约瑟夫·桑德斯（JOSEPH SAUNDERS）

短跑运动员萨姆·贝内特（Sam Bennett）已搁置其退役计划——现在准备在欧洲田径锦标赛上大展身手。这位110米栏选手在英联邦运动会上摘得银牌，消除了人们对其伤病的担忧。

这位来自绍森德（Southend）的25岁选手在去年年底遭遇后十字韧带撕裂，这是他七年来一系列长期伤病中的最新一次。然而，他在格拉斯哥决赛中奋力冲线，在牙买加选手德马里奥·普林斯（Demario Prince）之后获得银牌，随后他承认：“今年是决定成败的关键之年。”

“这强化了我自己的信念，因为其他人可能并不像我一样相信我能做出这样的表现。这就像是在我的名字旁边打了一个勾，表示‘好吧，他在关键时刻能够发挥’。”

“我参加了每一场比赛，并且想要获胜。”

“这是今年对我来说最大的改变。在之前的几年里，我失去了这一点。我失去了获胜的能力。”

贝内特曾在哈佛大学学习经济学和心理学四年，在伤病困扰之前，他曾赢得过欧洲18岁以下（Under-18）锦标赛和英联邦青年运动会的冠军。他承认：“我实在无法再忍受一年仅仅是看着那些和我一样努力的人，在那些位置上周游世界并为自己的国家而战。”

怪才 禁药禁赛回归后，马杜埃克深得“托辛叔叔”赏识

作者：BOBBY VINCENT，发自香港

托辛·阿达拉比奥约（TOSIN ADARABIOYO）将他的切尔西队友米哈伊洛·马杜埃克（Mykhailo Mudryk）描述为一名“怪才”，并声称对于这位乌克兰球员在过去20个月里能保持体能状态并不感到惊讶。

马杜埃克在周三晚上完成了自2024年11月以来首次为蓝军出场，在香港启德体育场以0-1负于尤文图斯的比赛中，他在比赛后期登场。英足协（FA）上周确认，关于该乌克兰球员的反兴奋剂纪律处分程序已达成解决方案。

马杜埃克此前被传将租借至考文垂，他替补尼古拉斯·杰克逊（上方）登场，受到了启德体育场内43,000多名支持者的热烈欢迎。

考虑到马杜埃克在远离球队20个月后才刚刚回归蓝军阵容训练，在仅经过几次训练课后就能获得短暂出场机会，这一点令人印象深刻。

但在蓝军中后卫托辛（插图）看来，这并不奇怪。“米沙是我的哥们，”他说。“我一直和他保持联系，很高兴他能回来。我真心为他感到高兴。”

“你可以看出他现在能回来并处于这个环境中真的非常开心。显然他还需要一段时间来适应，但我们都会在这里支持他。”

在谈到马杜埃克在长期缺阵期间如何保持体能时，托辛说：“米沙是个怪才。他的工作强度令人难以置信。”

“毫无疑问，这段时间他一直非常努力。我知道他一直在异地进行训练。我见过他，我也知道他合作的教练，所以这很好。”

“我一点也不[对马杜埃克的体能感到惊讶]。我很了解米沙，他的工作强度极其惊人，所以我并不惊讶。”

托辛，或者被切尔西队友称为“托辛叔叔”，不再是蓝军阵容中最资深的人物了。虽然只有28岁，但托辛此前一直是年龄最大的球员，不过前锋丹尼·韦尔贝克（Danny Welbeck，35岁）和中场乔丹·亨德森（Jordan Henderson，36岁）已在今年夏天加盟切尔西。

当被提醒他不再是“叔叔”时，托辛开玩笑说：“不，谢天谢地。”

“我们现在有了韦尔贝克。我在曼彻斯特成长期间就认识他很久了。”

韦尔贝克在香港完成了他在切尔西的非正式首秀，这位前锋参加了开场45分钟的比赛后被替换下场。

托辛对这位老将前锋在西伦敦的表现充满期待。

“我们都见过他进球，”托辛补充道。“他是一名前锋，他是来提供帮助的。他能提供帮助的方式就是进球，我相信他会做到的。”

至于亨德森，这位后卫补充道：“纯粹的经验，同时他们是赢家。他们将把这种赢球心态带到俱乐部，希望我们能延续这种状态。”

迈基·摩尔（MIKEY MOORE）已同意以赛季租借形式加盟德甲俱乐部科隆，但托特纳姆热刺尚未批准此次转会。备受赞赏的年轻进攻手摩尔在上赛季租借至流浪者队期间表现出色，随后在整个季前赛期间获得了给热刺主帅罗伯托·德泽尔比（Roberto De Zerbi）留下深刻印象的机会。尽管这位 18 岁的小将在今年夏天创造了一些引人注目的瞬间，但第二次租借离开托特纳姆热刺被认为是最佳方案。不过，摩尔尚未获得飞往德国完成转会的许可。米德尔斯堡以及第二次租借至流浪者队曾是摩尔的选择，但在欧洲五大联赛之一效力的机会实在太诱人，无法拒绝。多特蒙德此前曾对摩尔表示过兴趣，但热刺拒绝在任何租借协议中加入买断选项或义务。预计摩尔将在未来几天内完成直接租借至科隆，并在德国与前英格兰 Under-17 国家队队友雷根·赫斯基（Reigan Heskey）会合。

别墅军团追逐 Ruggeri

作者：约翰·汤恩利（JOHN TOWNLEY） 阿斯顿维拉正接近以 £2050 万 的价格签下马德里竞技后卫马特奥·鲁格里（Matteo Ruggeri）。目前尚未与左后卫鲁格里（插图）就个人条款达成一致，他将接替卢卡斯·迪涅（Lucas Digne）。老将迪涅预计将以约 800 万英镑 的价格加盟巴黎圣日耳曼。前意大利 Under-21 球员、24, 岁的鲁格里去年夏天才从亚特兰大加盟马德里竞技，但一直难以发挥出最佳状态。马德里竞技已经签下了亚历克斯·格里马尔多（Alex Grimaldo）作为他的替代者，维拉现在认为有机会将鲁格里带到维拉公园球场。“毫无疑问，这段时间他一直非常努力。他的工作态度令人难以置信。”

纽卡斯尔新老板反思仍有球员资金

Jaissle 期待新面孔，但称这是“集体”决定

作者：LEE RYDER，发自拉曼加（La Manga）

纽卡斯尔（NEWCASTLE）主帅马蒂亚斯·贾斯勒（Matthias Jaissle）预计今年夏天圣詹姆斯公园球场将迎来更多新面孔——但他表示，他在转会问题上没有最终决定权。

在“喜鹊”在西班牙的季前训练营期间，贾斯勒透露，任何关于招募的对话都将与体育总监罗斯·威尔逊（Ross Wilson）和首席执行官大卫·霍普金森（David Hopkinson）共同商议。接替埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe）执掌纽卡斯尔帅位的贾斯勒还警告称，虽然目前的球员群体将有机会赢得他的认可，但部分球员将在新赛季开始前离队。

当被问及是否在转会中拥有最终决定权时，贾斯勒回答道：“这始终关乎统一，关乎进行这种对话，以及在我们的思考方式上保持透明。然后，我们将采取什么行动是一个集体决定。”

“这一点很重要，我们要作为一家俱乐部来展示这一点，统一是纽卡斯尔准则的核心价值之一。这也是我们想要践行的东西。”

“喜鹊”今年夏天已经完成了五次签约，巴祖马纳·图雷（Bazoumana Toure）、阿拉吉·班巴（Aladji Bamba）、尤文·雅文（Ewen Jaouen）、卢卡斯·霍尼切克（Lukas Hornicek）和肖恩·斯图尔（Sean Steur）已经加盟。但新主帅坚持认为后续还会有更多动作。

这位德国人表示：“我们在市场上具备采取行动的能力。我们的体育总监对此很清楚。当然，当赛季开始时，我们应该能看到新面孔。”

“现在是一个过渡阶段，但我真的很高兴终于——正式地——来到这个训练营。”

“我已经期待回到纽卡斯尔的家中，并开启这段旅程。”

纽卡斯尔仍在为失去布鲁诺·吉马良斯（Bruno Guimaraes）、桑德罗·托纳利（Sandro Tonali）和安东尼·戈登（Anthony Gordon）而感到震惊，新任主教练解释说，内部需要一段时间来适应这些离队情况。

这位德国主教练说：“在担任主教练仅一天后，这是一个很难回答的问题。”

“这是一个过渡——我们失去了一些非常重要的球员，这改变了[局面]。但我们对于想要去向何方以及如何取得成功有着清晰的愿景，每个人都是如此，但现在关键是在季前赛中努力工作并取得进步。”

当被问及其雄心水平时，贾斯勒补充道：“我一直有巨大的雄心。我认为这是每位教练的关键要素，否则我不会在这里。”

“但这总是说起来容易。最重要的事情就是每天尽力而为，激发球员的最佳状态，尝试改进并支持他们，给他们成长的勇气，而这正是我们目前在季前赛中所处的阶段。”

布鲁诺决心离队

（接后页） 贾斯勒在转会窗剩余时间内进行补强的机会。他至少需要一名边后卫——蒂诺·利夫拉门托（Tino Livramento，左）和刘易斯·霍尔（Lewis Hall）是仅有的资深选项——同时还需要一名吉马良斯的替代者，可能还需要另一名中场球员。

“我才来这里一天，但我有阵容规划，并且有清晰的想法，”贾斯勒补充道。

“我也想了解这里的球员，给他们表现的机会。这对球员来说也始终是一个不错的挑战。”

“首先，让我来到这里并开展工作，让我们共同努力，然后我们再做决定。”

Boro 志在必得

Boro 对阵 렉瑟姆 (Wrexham) 联赛杯第一轮，晚上 8 点 作者：CRAIG JOHNS

KIM HELLBERG 希望米德尔斯堡 (Middlesbrough) 能利用今晚与렉瑟姆 (Wrexham) 的联赛杯对决，为再次冲击英超升级奠定基调。

将以今晚的第一轮杯赛拉开赛季序幕，随后将在下周末主场迎战林肯城 (Lincoln City)，正式开启冠军联赛的征程。

在经历了一个雄心勃勃的转会窗口——签下了五名球员，且 Radek Vitek 和 Ashley Phillips 另外两名球员也接近签约后—— 对升级充满了动力。

主教练 Hellberg（上图）承认：“这可能是唯一一场你可以说下周会有更重要比赛的正式比赛。”

“你希望获胜，因为以一场胜利开始对于建立获胜的性格至关重要。”

“我们将尽一切努力赢得比赛，但你也需要平衡一些事情，也许不会采取一些如果是在一周之后可能会采取的风险。”

Vini 达成皇马协议

作者：TOM CANTON

VINICIUS JUNIOR 已与皇家马德里达成续约协议，粉碎了阿森纳签下这名前锋的希望。

枪手非常渴望签下这位巴西球员，但这促使皇家马德里采取行动。

他昨晚同意了一份新合同，将使他留在西班牙首都直到 2032。

皇马最初坚持不提高之前的报价，但在本周与俱乐部高层进行谈判后情况发生了变化。

Vinicius，26 岁，于 2018 年从弗拉门戈 (Flamengo) 加入皇马，他的代表在过去 18 个月里一直在就新合同进行谈判。

在代表巴西参加完世界杯后，他于本周初回到了俱乐部。

顶级引援

卡拉菲奥里表示，像布鲁诺这样的高质量买入将帮助枪手维持巅峰

里卡多·卡拉菲奥里（RICCARDO CALAFIORI）坚称，引进布鲁诺·吉马良斯（Bruno Guimaraes）这种水准的球员正是阿森纳维持夺冠水平所需要的。在以约 £7500 万 的价格从纽卡斯尔完成转会后，这位巴西球员将成为俱乐部历史上第二昂贵的签约球员。在经历了漫长的转会拉锯战后，两家俱乐部终于达成协议。

当被问及与这位 28 岁球员联系在一起有多令人兴奋，以及这是否凸显了俱乐部在新赛季的雄心时，卡拉菲奥里表示：“当然，我认为这是我们想要达到的水平，而且我们希望维持在这个水平，这就是我们想要的赛季。”这位意大利后卫补充道：“我认为英超联赛必须进入一个新的周期，而我们希望留在其中。”

卡拉菲奥里经历了一个充满情绪波动的夏天，他不得不坐在一旁，看着俱乐部的队友们前往北美参加世界杯。意大利队在预选赛中被维克托·约克雷斯（Viktor Gyokeres）率领的瑞典队击败，这使得这位阿森纳边后卫解释说，整个过程太痛苦了，以至于他无法静下心来观看大部分赛事，尽管他仍为获胜的队友们感到高兴。

“我没看太多，”这位意大利国脚承认道，“我从一开始就说了，因为没能晋级让我胃里感到非常难受，而且我也在某种程度上被这件事的严重性所伤害。即使你不想看世界杯，它也如此盛大，以至于无论你去哪里，依然能在电视上看到每场比赛。最后，我为我们队里的三位西班牙球员感到高兴。”

然而，这种痛苦显然将成为这位 24 岁球员的动力。伤病一直困扰着卡拉菲奥里在阿森纳的职业生涯，但一个完整无干扰的夏天带来的充电将是一项益处，而将错过世界杯的痛苦转化为新赛季的推动力同样如此。

“是的，我认为我可以利用这一点，而且我认为我有一个很好的休息窗口。当然，我必须将身体里依然拥有的这些能量贡献给我的球队，”卡拉菲奥里说，“我认为这个赛季我可以给球队提供很大帮助。”

尽管是英超冠军，但显然卡拉菲奥里并没有忘记球队在欧冠和联赛杯决赛中错失的机会。

“我们进入了两个决赛并输掉了它们。从那里重新开始很容易。”

主教练米克尔·阿尔特塔（Mikel Arteta）（圆圈内）在球队于一场季前友谊赛中负于皇家贝蒂斯后表示，他的球队正在“转变”。上赛季仅赢得一座奖杯的痛苦显然依然深深烙印在阿森纳球员心中。

当被问及在已经是英超冠军的情况下如何提升到另一个水平时，卡拉菲奥里说：“这并不复杂。因为显然我们上赛季进入了两个决赛并输掉了它们。从那里重新开始并尝试赢得它们是非常简单的。”

贝克汉姆：未来是橙色的

作者：杰克·弗林瑟姆（JACK FLINTHAM）

大卫·贝克汉姆（DAVID BECKHAM）认为，在更改了这支英甲第二级别联赛（League Two）球队的主场球衣后，索尔福德城（Salford City）将拥有橙色这一代表色。

在 2014, 年接管球队后不久，曼联传奇且身为索尔福德共同所有者的贝克汉姆和加里·内维尔将“小锤”（Ammies）的球衣从橙色改为红色。但上赛季的一次球迷咨询中，绝大多数人投票支持恢复原始颜色。

贝克汉姆同时也是身穿粉色球衣的美国职业足球大联盟（MLS）球队迈阿密国际的共同所有者，他表示：“我认为这将会脱颖而出。但你知道我最喜欢这一点是什么吗？我谈到迈阿密，谈到拥有粉色，而现在我们将要在俱乐部足球中拥有橙色。”

欧足联仍计划抵制

作者：杰米·加德纳（JAMIE GARDNER）

在国际足联（FIFA）暗示主席吉安尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）将继续其计划后，欧足联（UEFA）坚持欧洲抵制世界杯的立场依然不变。因凡蒂诺（上图）在提出一项出售世界杯运营公司股份的争议计划后，已承受压力超过一周。欧足联表示，其55个成员国将抵制国际足联的各项赛事，直到该计划被废除。国际足联管理委员会在周三对因凡蒂诺表示支持，但欧洲足联表示这“没有任何改变”。

欧足联在一份声明中写道：“欧足联各协会对于不参加国际足联赛事的附加条件非常明确。出售重大赛事的提案必须被撤回，并且必须保证绝不再尝试以这种方式破坏这项运动。这些条件尚未达成。”

“关于一些由国际足联主席雇佣（且其职业生涯依赖于他的青睐）的人员同意他这一说法，并不能改变任何事情。”

阿根廷人的大日子

作者：杰米·加德纳（JAMIE GARDNER）

阿根廷在世界杯半决赛战胜英格兰的胜利将被每年纪念。阿根廷足协在周三的执行委员会会议后，将7月15日——即在亚特兰大以2-1获胜的日期——定为“国家足球队日”。

阿根廷足协网站上的一篇文章指出：“选择这个日期是为了纪念阿根廷在世界杯半决赛中战胜英格兰的历史性胜利。利昂内尔·斯卡洛尼（Lionel Scaloni）的球队曾一度落后英格兰队一个球，但凭借恩佐·费尔南德斯（Enzo Fernandez）和劳塔罗·马丁内斯（Lautaro Martinez）的进球，他们扭转了局面，让全国陷入狂欢的庆祝之中。”

“德比之战”：西甲劲敌加入争夺罗德里之战

（接后页）可能重返西甲。他在世界杯上的表现使他成为了金球奖的有力竞争者，并促使西班牙超级俱乐部试图为他达成协议。罗德里（Rodri）预计仍将在新赛季前返回曼城，如果曼城要出售他，俱乐部将要求一份能体现其世界足球地位的高额报价，但鉴于对他巨大的关注，他们必须对这种可能性保持警觉。

曼城今夏已经从诺丁汉森林以俱乐部纪录的£1.16 亿签下了23岁的埃利奥特·安德森（Elliot Anderson），并且还在努力达成协议以签下里尔（Lille）的18岁球员艾尤布·布阿迪（Ayyub Bouaddi）。这家法国俱乐部曾希望将这名中场球员多留一年，因此不会廉价地放走这位摩洛哥青少年。然而，考虑到这两名球员的年龄分布，以及曼城已经失去了贝尔纳多·席尔瓦（Bernardo Silva）的事实，曼城能否留住罗德里可能会对其夺冠机会产生巨大影响。

埃利奥特在上赛季最后几周差一点就能对阵阿森纳，但在最后时刻未能成行，这位30岁球员在冲刺阶段的关键比赛中缺席。

GONZALEZ 作者：SIMON BAJKOWSKI

NICO GONZALEZ 已成为最新一名承诺效力于曼城的中场球员，而恩佐·马雷斯卡（Enzo Maresca）则在为罗德里（Rodri）的未来感到焦虑。 经历了一段考验的 。由于贝尔纳多·席尔瓦（Bernardo Silva）的离队以及罗德里可能离队，曼城希望刷新其中场阵容，这使得他的未来产生了疑问。随着马雷斯卡接管球队， 是众多本赛季在球队中位置不稳的球员之一。但这位前波尔图球员在夏季巡演期间，继马特奥·科瓦契奇（Mateo Kovacic）（见下一页）之后，宣布了留队的意愿。

在 3-1 击败 K 联赛全明星队后， 坚称即使不能参加每场比赛，他也很高兴成为该团队的一员。“我很开心能在这里。我不想离开，而且我认为俱乐部希望我留下。我没看到任何（离队迹象），但我在这里很开心，”他说道。“我认为没有哪个球员能保证参加所有比赛。每个人都必须努力工作。” （右）每个位置。这就是让我们处于目前地位的原因，赢得了这么多次英超冠军并竞争所有奖项。“我尽量不去关注我是否出场。我尽量专注于好好工作，并在需要出场时做好准备。坦白说，上赛季我没预料到自己能在首发阵容中出战近 30 场比赛。”

“我表现得非常好，而且我在这里很开心。我很开心，因为我得到了很多机会。”

如果 和 Kovacic 预计留队，那么蒂贾尼·赖因德斯（Tijani Reijnders）在俱乐部仅 1 年后可能会离队。这位荷兰国脚最初以 4630 万英镑 从 AC 米兰签入，但受到了诺丁汉森林队的强烈关注，而纽卡斯尔和加拉塔萨雷也表现出了兴趣。从诺丁汉森林队以 1.16 亿英镑 签入的埃利奥特·安德森（Elliot Anderson）只会让 Reijnders 的顺位进一步下降。

签下里尔 Ayyub Bouaddi, 18, 的谈判正在进行中，无论是否有球员离队，他都将被引进。此外，Reijnders 和 Rodri 其中一人或两人都将有替代者，后者目前不仅被皇家马德里，也被巴塞罗那所觊觎。该政策同样适用于其他离队球员，因此如果 Savinho 前往托特纳姆热刺，将会签入新球员填补他在阵容中的位置。目前尚不清楚这是否一定会是一名边锋，马雷斯卡和体育总监 Hugo Viana 在进攻端持灵活态度。

随着詹姆斯·特拉福德（James Trafford）完成向利兹联的转会，马赛的 Geronimo Rulli, 34, 职业生涯第二次进入曼城的视野。他被计划成为吉安路易吉·多纳鲁马（Gianluigi Donnarumma）的 No.2，而马库斯·贝蒂内利（Marcus Bettinelli）将继续担任三号门将。

签入右后卫的计划也被搁置了。曼城一直以来只是在寻找马特乌斯·努内斯（Matheus Nunes）的替补，因为他们认为切尔西为马雷斯卡与其前球员重聚而要求的 7500 万英镑 价格对于 Malo Gusto 来说太贵了。Abdukodir Khusanov 能够胜任右后卫，Vitor Reis 在与 K 联赛全明星队的友谊赛中也部分时间在该位置出战。Reis 预计本赛季将留在一线队阵容中，右后卫角色为他提供了获得出场时间的另一条途径。

在 1 月转会窗口提前签下 Antoine Semenyo 和 Marc Guehi 后，曼城有信心在 8 月通过后续签入来支持这些签约，从而给马雷斯卡在伊蒂哈德球场首个赛季获得成功的最佳机会。

多库获得五年期新合同

西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基（SIMON BAJKOWSKI）报道 曼彻斯特城将在杰里米·多库（Jeremy Doku）下周恢复训练时，宣布一份改良后的五年期合同。这位俄罗斯赢家（插图）因在过去一年中的出色表现而获得奖励，期间他成为了球队的一线队常客，并将被视为恩佐·马雷斯卡（Enzo Maresca）球队的关键组成部分。多库于2023年加盟曼城，并在第一年就赢得了英超冠军，但在他在Elbede的前两个赛季中，曾饱受伤病和状态不稳的困扰。然而，他在上赛季的几场重要比赛中表现突出，俱乐部已采取行动将这位24岁球员至少再留住五年。在代表比利时参加世界杯后享受了一段时间的假期，多库是几名在社区盾杯前不会与曼城队友一起训练的球员之一。目前尚不清楚他是否会参加对阵阿森纳的比赛，但马雷斯卡将在赛季开始时寻求让他逐步恢复状态。随着新主帅对球队进攻方式的调整，多库在本赛季可能会为曼城带来更多惊喜。安托万·塞门约（Antoine Semenyo）已在亚洲试训中与球队汇合，并且对他从新教练那里得到的信息感到非常满意。“从第一天起，他就向我们传达了他的想法，”塞门约在Alonzo Tack的“准备就是一切”活动上说道。“虽然我比一些队友报到晚了一点，但我与他进行了个人会谈，讨论他希望如何布置、如何比赛、他对边路球员的要求，以及对整个球队的整体规划。到目前为止一直很顺利。我认为他的想法很棒——与佩普（Pep）非常相似。如果你看了对阵国际米兰的比赛，你就会看到他的几个想法得到了落实，效果很好。我很期待。”

蒙加在曼城已获得青少年时期的快感

西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基（SIMON BAJKOWSKI）报道 直到2025年2月，当他走出老特拉福德球场时，杰里米·蒙加（Jeremy Monga）才确信自己拥有某种特殊的天赋。来自各俱乐部和英格兰工作人员的球探报告多年来一直这么说，但在青训足球中，直到那一刻到来之前，你永远无法真正知道自己是否能一路走到一线队。在庆祝15岁生日后不久，蒙加（下图）在莱斯特城对阵曼联的一场足总杯比赛中进入替补席，几个月后，他代表“狐狸城”在对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛中完成首秀，成为该赛事历史上仅次于伊桑·恩瓦内里（Ethan Nwaneri）的第二年轻的英超球员。所有与朋友一起牺牲的时间都是值得的，但这位年轻人的父母确保他明白，成功进入一线队是一回事，但留在那里则是另一回事。在曼城的初步印象同样积极，这位边锋在场上执行新主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡的所有指令，并在场外听取安托万·塞门约的建议。“我是那种不太关注外界噪音的人，我关注我在场上的表现，”他说。“我觉得很容易应对，因为我不会想太多。我很早就意识到的一件事是，所有的一切都可能就这样被剥夺，所以我必须保持专注和谦逊，因为保住我的位置是首要任务。有时错过一些事情很烦人，但这是为了更大的利益。如果你想成为顶级球员，你就必须过顶级的生活并做出牺牲。我的父母教会了我这一点。安托万·塞门约一直引导我，告诉我什么是对的，什么是错的。”目前尚不清楚蒙加是否会被外租，但这并不意味着他放弃了在本赛季给曼城带来影响的希望。他说：“我对自己非常有信心，我相信我可以给人留下深刻印象，努力工作，并做所有必要的事情以进入大名单。” 纪录费 Trafford

特拉福德正式加盟利兹

作者：艾萨克·约翰逊

门将詹姆斯·特拉福德（James Trafford）已完成体检，并与利兹签署了一份为期五年的合同。这位 23 岁的球员成为了俱乐部的纪录签约球员，利兹与曼彻斯特城就一份 4000 万英镑 外加附加费的方案达成一致。特拉福德是该俱乐部今夏的第三次签约，此前是 29, 岁的自由球员哈里·威尔逊（Harry Wilson）和花费 3400 万英镑 的 23 岁球员塔里克·穆哈雷莫维奇（Tarik Muharemovic）。他的到来使他成为丹尼尔·法尔克（Daniel Farke）坚定的第三选择，这可能会触发 2025 年签约的门将卢卡斯·佩里（Lucas Perri）被租借至都灵。这将促使利兹寻找一名新的替补，亚历克斯·凯恩斯（Alex Cairns）预计将成为第三选择。白衣军团在今夏见证了卡尔·达洛（Karl Darlow）离开俱乐部加盟曼彻斯特联，而伊利安·梅斯利尔（Ilian Meslier）在合同到期后加入了阿森纳。特拉福德目标成为英格兰队乔丹·皮克福德（Jordan Pickford）的接班人，并且知道他必须获得常规的出场时间才能实现这一目标。到目前为止，他为三狮军团出场 2 次，并且曾是世界杯大名单的一员。

胡安卢加盟活力球场

伯恩茅斯以 1100 万英镑 的交易签下了塞维利亚右后卫胡安卢（Juanlu）。这位前西班牙 Under-21 国脚（插图）签署了一份为期五年的合同，初始费用为 940 万英镑，附加费可能高达 1700 万英镑。这位 22 岁的球员是樱桃军团今夏的第三次签约，此前是中后卫安东尼奥·席尔瓦（Antonio Silva）从本菲卡转会以及前锋阿尔瓦罗·罗德里格斯（Alvaro Rodriguez）从埃尔切转会。在允许亚历克斯·希门尼斯（Alex Jimenez）以赛季租借形式加盟佛罗伦萨后，伯恩茅斯开始寻求一名右后卫。

Whistleblower Maggie Oliver slams early release plans for 'men who destroyed childhoods'

WE ARE FAILING

SEX GANG

VICTIMS

AGAIN

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES

Home Affairs Editor

LABOUR was accused of "gross neglect" as a loophole in the early release scheme means vile grooming gang members will serve only half their sentences.

Andy Burnham said rapists and serious child sex offenders would stay in prison amid a backlash.

But five men who abused a girl of 13 will get out sooner than expected because they were convicted of indecent assault, which is not among the scheme's exemptions.

Whistleblower Maggie Oliver said ministers seemingly failed to understand their policy's consequences: "Once again, we are seeing a justice system on its knees". She said victims

SNP owes jailed

Murrell £60,000

...but party won't repay it after writing off motorhome

BY CRAIG PATON

THE SNP has finally written off the value of the £100,000 motorhome at the centre of former chief executive Peter Murrell's £400,000 embezzlement case.

But astonishingly, the party still owes the jailed fraudster £60,000.

A balance sheet – published by the Electoral Commission – reveals the sum relates to a loan he made to the party in 2021. The debt remained on its books – at the end of 2025 as the estranged husband of former SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon had not “formally requested” repayment and it was unclear if the money would ever have to be handed back.

But the value of the motorhome – the symbol of the Operation Branchform probe into the crooked party boss – has been removed from the SNP balance sheet.

A party spokesman later said: “Our accounts show the position of the loan as of the end of 2025. Since that point Mr Murrell has pled guilty to the crime of embezzling more than £400,000 from the party.

“In light of this, the party is punu-

Value of motorhome bought by Peter Murrell, left, has been written off

ing the full recovery of the money stolen from us and will not be making any payment to Mr Murrell.” Murrell pleaded guilty to embezzling over £400,000 from the SNP earlier this year. He was jailed for more than five years.

During the long-running Operation Branchform police investigation which snared Murrell – and cleared Ms Sturgeon and former treasurer Colin Beattie – the motorhome, parked at the Fife home of his mother, was an object of scorn and ridicule.

It was initially claimed the vehicle would be used to campaign for the SNP during Covid, but court records

showed Murrell purchased a number of guides for motorhome holidays around the time it was bought.

A proceeds-of-crime hearing in which the SNP will seek “to recover from the guilty party the full amount embezzled”, is due next month.

Scottish Tory finance spokesman Craig Hoy said: “The fact they still technically owe the crooked Peter Murrell £60,000 is astonishing.

“Their infamous campervan has now met its demise having more than halved in value after being Murrell’s most expensive criminal purchase.

“If even SNP supporters are losing faith, then it is time for [SNP First Minister] John Swinney to ditch his independence obsession and focus on what really matters to Scots.”

Mel's bold new look

Star is stunning in first fashion shoot since her hair-loss battle

Melanie Sykes is all smiles as she returns to modelling in her Manchester hometown

BY FRANCES MILLAR

MELANIE Sykes looks several shades of cool in a suit and sunglasses for her latest photoshoot - her first since she went public with alopecia.

The TV presenter, 55, showed off her striking new look, posing in her hometown of Manchester after shaving her head earlier this summer.

In another picture, she is beaming as she wears a pair of Cubitts sunnies for the trendy spectacle- maker's new campaign.

Melanie, who was the face of Boddingtons Bitter back in the 1990s, opened up about her life with alopecia after announcing her diagnosis last year.

She also has a heart condition and widespread inflammation, which she has attributed to prolonged stress and PTSD.

A few weeks ago, she proudly revealed her completely shaved head on Instagram alongside a smiling selfie. Melanie wrote alongside the image simply: "Loss + Gain = Life."

Stress

She said: "I'm two-thirds bald, really. Every time I say I'm bald, I laugh, I don't know why... Thank God, I can laugh."

Melanie has previously explained that she is living with an autoimmune condition while dealing with a number of health issues.

She said last December: "I've got an autoimmune condition, I am losing my hair, I keep having crazy inflammation all over."

Melanie suggested the condition worsened last year when allegations involving TV chef Gino D'Acampo became public. The pair worked alongside each other on ITV's Let's Do Lunch with Gino and Mel between 2011 and 2014.

"I've slowed things down because I got a heart problem, which I developed during the whole Gino D'Acampo bulls*** that happened in the news," she said at the time.

"And suddenly the stress levels in my life shot up because I left that industry years ago, but it won't leave me alone."

Alopecia is caused by various factors such as genetics, autoimmune conditions and stress.

EARLY RELEASE

Victim Elisabeth-Jane Ross

Suspect in court over Briton found in suitcase

BY NICK FORBES

LAWYERS acting for the man accused of killing a Scottish woman found dead inside a suitcase have asked a court to get her medical records from the UK.

Aid worker Elisabeth-Jane Ross, 38, from Edinburgh, was found in a derelict building in Athens, Greece on July 18.

Afghan boxer Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, has been charged with homicide with intent, along with weapons and robbery offences.

Ahmadzai did not submit a plea to any of the charges when he appeared in court in Athens yesterday and stayed silent.

His lawyer Christos Erdas said this is because they were waiting for medical evidence to be submitted to the court.

Greek police said last week there were no signs of injury or harm on Ms Ross's body when she was discovered.

Further tests are being carried out to establish if she was suffocated.

Police said the suspect was detained after investigators reviewed CCTV footage.

Woman faces stab charges

BY ELLIE CRABBE

A WOMAN accused of stabbing four men with scissors in London's Covent Garden was remanded in custody.

Stella Gollovna, 47, is accused of attacking Patrick De Barr, Thomas Harding, Adrian Lovett and Mantas Jankus on Wednesday lunchtime.

She faces four counts of wounding with intent to cause GBH and having an offensive weapon in a public space.

Gollovena, of no fixed address, appeared at Highbury Corner magistrates court but did not plead.

The court heard four men were treated in hospital for stab wounds to their backs but have since been released.

PM Mr Burnham has stepped in to trigger a review of Labour's early release scheme after a glaring loophole was identified – rape gang members who had attacked young girls in Bradford before anti-grooming laws came into force in 2003 were set to benefit from the plan to free up space in overcrowded jails.

Ex-Greater Manchester Police detective Ms Oliver, who exposed the Rochdale child sex abuse scandal, said: "For victims of grooming gangs, this feels like yet another betrayal.

"These children were failed when they needed protection, they were failed by the criminal justice system for years afterwards.

"What concerns me most is that this keeps happening.

"Time and again, governments only act on our national emergencies after the public discovers a glaring flaw and shouts long and loud to force action!

That's not effective leadership, it's gross neglect and incompetence, and continues to undermine public trust.

"There appears to have been no proper scrutiny of who might benefit from these changes before they were announced. That is just not good enough when public safety and victims' confidence in the justice system are at stake."

The Tories' leader Kemi Badenoch said: "I wrote to Andy Burnham last night warning that his policy was going to let rape gang perpetrators out of prison early.

"In response, the Prime Minister has commissioned yet another review.

"How many more reviews do we need before Andy Burnham does the commonsense thing and bans all of these monsters from early release?"

Mrs Badenoch added: "The brave survivors have been put through hell by this process – they deserve so much better."

Some 5,000 offenders are expected to be released early under sentencing changes to relieve jail overcrowding.

The total due to be freed well before they had done their time had been 6,000 – until ministers stepped in to exclude rapists, "serious" child sex offenders and predators who had been convicted of grooming offences.

But some gang members were found guilty of indecent assault – which covers everything other than penetrative sex.

That offence was not listed as an

exemption from Labour's release scheme and so the loophole could see five men who were locked up for abusing a girl from the age of 13 in Bradford walking out of jail after serving only half of their sentences.

Mohammed Imran Akram, Safraz Ahmed Latif, Wajid Hussain, Mohammed Naheem and Nadeem Ali were all found guilty on various counts of indecent assault and each sentenced to between six and eight years in prison last year.

Some of them will be out by the end of 2028. A spokesman for Mr

Burnham said yesterday: "As part of the review of sentences, the Prime Minister asked the Ministry of Justice to conduct an in-depth review of cases to ensure that grooming cases were identified."

They added: "This work is happening urgently. This is extremely important to the PM and he has personally intervened to ensure everything possible is being done so that vile groomers are dealt with in the way their victims deserve."

Under Labour's plans, some killers and sex offenders will be let out of

prison early while 43,000 criminals will avoid jail altogether. Many convicts will be back walking the streets after spending just a third of their jail sentences in prison.

Those given four years or more will be let out after serving 50% of their sentence behind bars.

The first tranche of releases has been delayed from next month to October. Criminals handed sentences of less than 18 months will be the first to benefit from the softest sentencing reforms in a generation.

grooming gangs, another betrayal'

12 years in jail – some of the most dangerous criminals in the country – will start to be freed next June.

Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy said: “Labour’s early release scheme goes from bad to worse. It should be obvious to anyone that rapists, sex offenders and grooming gang perpetrators should not be let out of prison.

“It’s incredible that it took weeks of Conservative pressure to get Labour to admit they were wrong and exclude rapists from early release. But now it turns out they

still plan to let killers and grooming gang members back on to the streets.

“Labour must stop their early release law from coming into effect in October, and bring forward emergency legislation to keep killers and abusers behind bars.”

Lissie Harper, the widow of hero PC Andrew Harper, has urged ministers to come “to their senses” as two of his killers are set to be freed early.

Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers were each sentenced to 13 years for his manslaughter in 2020, and will become eligible for release after

serving half of their sentences. Henry Long, driver of the car that pulled him to his death, was given 16 years and will not be freed early.

PC Harper suffered horrific injuries after becoming caught in a tow-rope and being dragged down a country road for a mile as the three fled the scene of a quad bike theft in Sulhamstead, Berks.

Jason Hogg, chief constable of his Thames Valley Police force, said he was taking legal advice on whether it could join a legal challenge mooted by local Police Federation leader

Aileen O’Connor to prevent Cole and Bowers being set free early.

The Prime Minister has said he wanted to “go further” with exemptions from the scheme after ordering a review, but that was “not possible without the prison system reaching capacity and collapsing”.

Inmates who are released early will face tougher probation conditions including electronic monitoring, random drug testing and possible bans from driving, pubs and events such as football matches.

Sir Mark praised PC’s family

‘Danger if jail pressure is prioritised over threat’

BY KATIE HARRIS

BRITAIN’S top police officer fears the country is in a “dangerous place” if prison capacity is prioritised over the threat criminals pose.

Thousands of inmates will be released early in a controversial bid to stop jail overcrowding.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham ordered a review of the scheme amid outrage that rapists and “serious” child-sex offenders could be let out. They have now been removed from the plan.

Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley told LBC yesterday he welcomed the PM’s review, adding: “I don’t think he’s got easy decisions.”

But he warned: “We’re in a dangerous place if the justice system is tipping towards making more decisions based on resources available than they are based on the

Upsetting

risk that offenders pose to communities.”

The government has so far resisted pressure to exempt two of PC Andrew Harper’s killers from early release.

He died after being dragged down a country road by a car as his three killers fled the scene of a theft in 2019.

Sir Mark said officers “need the sense that the law is behind them when they’re assaulted, when they take these risks”.

He praised the “extraordinary dignity” of PC Harper’s family.

And he added: “To then have the offenders released early is obviously particularly upsetting for them, but police officers see it as a message of a sort of a lack of support from the justice system. I don’t think that’s good.”

Mr Burnham said he wanted to “go further” with exemptions, but it was “not possible without the system reaching capacity and collapsing”.

Reform UK's Zia Yusuf

Yusuf vows crackdown on dodgy vape shops

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES

REFORM UK has vowed to force hundreds of vape shops out of business to prevent the decay of high streets.

Home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf promised to introduce a "national licensing" regime for the stores, as fears intensify that many are a front for crime gangs.

This would be capped at 1,000 premises, with a joint unit of police officers, immigration enforcement teams and trading standards, authorised to enter suspect shops.

A BBC probe revealed more than 1,900 mini-marts, vape shops and car washes are licensed to sponsor foreign workers under a specialist scheme intended for high-earning individuals, despite visa rules being tightened.

Laundered

Mr Yusuf declared: "We are witnessing an artificial boom in cash-intensive operations.

"The number of nail bars has surged by 91% since 2010.

"The number of foreign barber shops has doubled – trebled in places like Essex and Doncaster.

"Nobody believes these survive alone on legitimate commercial demand. The National Crime Agency has estimated £1 billion in criminal cash is laundered through high street businesses every year."

Mr Yusuf also said a Reform government would create a tip line for people to report illegal working or gang activity, with the potential for a cash reward. He said the scheme would emulate the US where whistleblowers get a share of big fines.

Kemi: Reform are a woke party... all moaning and whingeing, not solutions

EXCLUSIVE

BY JONATHAN WALKER Whitehall Editor

KEMI Badenoch branded Reform UK "woke" amid a furious war of words between the Tories and their rivals.

In return, Reform leader Nigel Farage accused Mrs Badenoch of "weakness and bad judgment", for failing to cut ties with former neo-Nazi activist Joshua Bonehill-Paine.

Mr Farage insisted: "If I'd been confronted with a candidate like that, he'd have been axed in 30 seconds.

"She's shown her judgment is not sound. She's shown she's prepared to fight for causes that are hopeless and then in the end have to U-turn."

But the Tory leader mocked Mr Farage for claiming he was the target of an establishment plot.

She accused him of a "victim mentality" similar to left-wing activists.

Mr Badenoch added: "Reform are a

Row over Tory neo-Nazi candidate grows

woke party, and I know a lot of people don't understand, the word woke is used to mean many things, a lot of people assume it's a left-wing thing.

"But when I talk about woke, I talk about people who, it's all grievance, it's victim narratives, people are doing this to us, oppressor narratives.

"On the Left, it's whites are the oppressors or men are the oppressors, on the Right it's the establishment are the oppressors... It's all moaning and whingeing and not proper solutions."

It followed Mr Farage's decision to resign his Commons seat and force a by-election in his Clacton constituency amid criticism of a £5million gift to him from British cryptocurrency tycoon Christopher Harborn. A Reform source said: "According to

Kemi, being woke apparently means not having neo-Nazis in your party."

Mrs Badenoch faces criticism over her refusal to disown Tory council candidate Mr Bonehill-Paine. He was convicted of racially harassing a Jewish former MP in 2016 while serving a jail term for sharing antisemitic posts.

She initially defended the decision to select him, claiming he had rehabilitated. He withdrew after Mrs Badenoch gave him a role advising her party's culture and integration commission.

Mr Farage said every party had candidates who "slip through the net", adding: "It's what you do when you find out that their behaviour has been

genuinely heinous, and this is one of the worst cases I've seen. If someone's said something stupid after a glass of wine, you kind of think, all right... impeccable record, said something stupid, we can forgive him.

"This is entirely different. This guy went to prison. And the hounding of a Labour member of Parliament... this is not funny. When I see a really bad case... I say they're not standing officially for us."

Labour peer Baroness Luciana Berger, the ex-MP harassed by Mr Bonehill-Paine, called the Tories' decision to give him an advisory role an "insult".

Jailed Bonehill-Paine made Tory adviser

THERE was a theory in Westminster that Keir Starmer benefitted from mystical assistance for his first few years, in the form of a genie.

For, since becoming Labour leader his rivals had been beset with trouble, scandal and infighting, aiding him immensely.

I am beginning to suspect that genie, perhaps squeezed by cost-of-living pressures in London, has rented a cheaper lamp in Manchester.

the ousting of Sir Keir, his rivals are set upon one another.

This undignified infighting between the seemingly irreconcilable factions on the Right is fast becoming a source of despair.

Neither has the electoral strength to command a majority without the support, or routing, of the other.

And if neither will quit the field – for

which they see no reason to do – a fight is not in their interest. For years it was said the greatest folly of the Left was that they could never agree.

Variations of the jibe "three left wing factions meet for lunch and five walk out" have been around for a long time – the same may be true for the Right.

Now we have Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage at each other's throats over Joshua Bonehill-Paine being allowed to stand for a local council seat – from which he has now withdrawn.

Mrs Badenoch may have had the right of it when she suggested a man punished can be a man redeemed. Yet

she rapidly lost the high ground when branding those who disagreed as "woke" – a term which increasingly means little.

Throughout all this squabbling, the threat posed by a left-wing government that has been coy with its plans for this country looms large.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" would be sage advice for Andy Burnham.

Whether provided by a genie or someone more corporeal, it would appear our new PM is in for a great summer if his rivals cannot see the real enemy is on the Left, not on the Right.

Record 51m listeners tuning in to radio weekly

BY IAN JONES

THE number of people listening to the radio in the UK each week has hit a record of 51 million – up by more than two million since 2022.

The increase is being driven by newer stations, such as Radio 1 Dance, Radio 1 Anthems, Radio 3 Unwind, Times Radio and GB News.

An average of 51.1 million people aged 15 and over listened to UK radio each week in April to June of this year.

It is up from 50.6 million in the previous three months, says the latest data from research organisation Rajar.

The total stood at 49 million in April-June 2022. Radio 1 Anthems saw its weekly audience jump 40% from 417,000 in January-March to 584,000 in April-June.

Radio 1 Dance is up 41% from 437,000 to 615,000, while Radio 3 Unwind has risen by 5% from 388,000 to 408,000. All three stations have been available on digital radio since September 2025.

Radio 2 remains the most popular station with a total average weekly audience in April-June of 12.37 million, down slightly from 12.57 million.

Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2, said: 'Our 65-plus audience has risen to a five-year high.'

'And I'd like to congratulate Tony Blackburn whose Sunday evening Golden Hour recorded its highest audience figure since 2021.'

Outage hits rail network

AN electricity supply failure brought major disruption to the rail network in the North.

It occurred before 2pm yesterday, knocking Manchester's Rail Operating Centre offline, Network Rail said.

The Manchester area, the Midlands and North West England were particularly affected, with journeys impacted into the evening.

Disruption hit Avanti West Coast, East Midlands, London Northwestern, Northern, TransPennine Express and Transport for Wales.

The disruption forced some passengers to book hotel stays.

Southoort killer Axel Rudakubana

'Labour has been warned, again and again, that the radicalisation of young people is becoming a national security problem in its own right'

Terrorism probes into hundreds of children under 10

Fears online extremism behind record high referrals to Prevent

HUNDREDS of children under 10 were referred to the government's anti-terror programme as fears intensify over how much time youngsters spend online.

A record 10,293 referrals were made to Prevent for 9,957 people in the year to September, figures show.

And this included 393 referrals for children under 10. Another 3,655 youngsters were aged between 11 and 15, Home Office statistics revealed.

Head of MI5 Sir Ken McCallum has warned of a phenomenon of children appearing in more terrorism investigations.

Security experts fear minors are being exposed to vast swathes of extremist content, including terrorist propaganda and videos of mass violence on social media.

This is desensitising them to atrocities and normalising violence, experts fear.

Radicalisation

After the Southport attacks in July 2024, where three girls were killed at a dance class, it was revealed that 17-year-old murderer Axel Rudakubana had been referred to Prevent on three occasions between 2019 and 2021 due to his interest in terrorist attacks and school shootings.

Neil O'Brien MP, shadow minister for policy development, said: 'The rate that children are being referred to our counter-terrorism system should stop every parent in the country cold.'

'Labour has been warned, again and again, that the radicalisation of young people is becoming a national security problem in its own right.'

'Children have been spending far too much time online, where they are exposed to dangerous and harmful material.'

'Social media platforms need to take serious measures to stop the spread of radicalising content. The government must go further and faster than it has so far.' The figures

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor

published yesterday show 2,103 Prevent referrals were because of concerns over extreme right-wing ideology (20% of the total), up from 1,480 in the previous year, while there were 860 referrals (8%) about Islamist extremism, down from 945.

Some 818 referrals (8%) related to fascination with extreme violence or mass casualty attacks, 95 (1%) were for incel (involuntarily celibate) extremism and 32 (0.3%) for left-wing extremism, while 353 (3%) were for multiple ideologies with no dominant strain identified.

But the small number of suspected Islamist extremists referred to Prevent has prompted warnings it is missing the biggest terror threats.

Roughly three out of four MI5 terrorism investigations are into Islamist plots.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'Prevent is ignoring Islamist extremism, despite it remaining the deadliest terror threat our country faces.'

'The failure to address this and intervene is putting the public in danger.'

'Prevent's role is vital to national security, but it must be fit for purpose.'

'Labour do not have the backbone to confront this reality, and that is a national security failure.'

'Islamist terror has caused 94 per cent of terror murders in the last 25 years and is 75 per cent of counter terror caseloads – but only accounts for eight per cent of Prevent. This is completely wrong.'

Reform's Zia Yusuf said his party, if elected into power, would ensure resources were deployed to tackle Islamist extremism 'ensuring that scourge in this country is rooted out'.

He said: 'Prevent is totally unfit. I am deeply sceptical of any data that Prevent is putting out. It has essentially become a glorified social workers programme.'

INTO APOCALYPTIC WASTELAND

Unrecognisable landscape of ash, charred trees and still-smoking undergrowth is all that remains at the once-beautiful heathland

Treasured landscape left unrecognisable as wildfire devastates nature reserve

BLACK ash and charred vegetation can be seen for miles. The stench of smoke and burnt plant life fills the air, while the tragic waste of flora and fauna brings a lump to one's throat. It is truly a vision of Hell.

These images reveal the devastation on Dunwich Heath in Suffolk after a wildfire burned through 370 acres – equivalent to the size of 210 football pitches – of the National Trust reserve, starting on July 29.

Considered one of the UK's most important coastal heathland landscapes, trust bosses say it is now "unrecognisable".

After one of Britain's hottest and driest summers on record, the blaze was among the worst wildfires in living memory.

Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service had 120 firefighters battling the flames at one point, declaring the inferno a major incident.

Every one of the county's 35 fire stations sent crews to the scene over the last 10 days, with other counties supporting. A firefighting helicopter was also deployed.

Matt Wilson, the trust's countryside manager for this area of Suffolk, said the blaze is now under control, but he warned widespread smouldering hotspots occasionally flare up. He urged members of the public to avoid the area altogether.

Ferocity

Mr Wilson, who witnessed the devastation close-up, said: "The ferocity and depth of the fire is unlike any wildfire I've seen before.

"The heather heathland has been entirely burnt in places. It's been so hot that we've had complete loss of all the layers of vegetation. It has scorched down to bare earth.

"It's the worst fire I've had to deal with professionally.

"I've spoken to a few of the crews and they have been surprised at the ferocity and how extensive the damage has been."

In normal times, Dunwich Heath is a beautiful part of Suffolk.

This area of coastal heath sits south of the village of Dunwich, with the North Sea to the east and forest to the west. It should be carpeted in flowering heather, with some woodland and wetland too.

Mr Wilson said: "That iconic purple and pink display of heather would normally be in place at this time of year.

"That's the habitat that has been most impacted by this fire."

Many trees were also destroyed, with flames leaping 40m (130ft) high in places. Sadder still is the impact on wildlife, as the heath forms part of a conservation area.

Resident birds such as Dartford warblers, nightjars and stonechats were able to fly to safety, while large mammals such as red deer and muntjacs mostly fled the area.

Mr Wilson was relieved local badger setts were not badly affected. But he fears for butterflies and other insects in their larval

stage, which would have perished. He added: "We have a lot of reptiles on site such as adders, slow worms and common lizards. We get amphibians such as newts, frogs and toads. Voles, mice and field mice just can't move as quickly.

"Because of the pace and the ferocity of the fire, a lot of those won't be able to escape."

The lingering smell of smoke is overpowering and noticeable for miles around, Mr Wilson said.

Roads and public rights of way have been closed for now, including the neighbouring coastal path.

Locals will be asking how long before the vegetation and animal life might recover. But with damage so extreme, he is not yet confident enough to answer that question.

Like many forested areas, the heath was protected by fire breaks – wide gaps cleared through vegetation to stop flames spreading. Less than a year ago, Mr Wilson consulted the fire service to ensure there were ample breaks.

"But in the face of this fire, those haven't been effective enough," he admitted. "The fire burnt through fire breaks as if they weren't there."

He visited the heath just before the fire broke out and said it "was a completely different experience... Birdsong, butterflies on the wing, and I was pleased the heather was looking as good as it was. Then, this week, it looks like something out of a disaster movie."

In the meantime, a vast firefighting and clean-up operation goes on.

The trust has launched an emergency appeal, targeting at least £500,000 to restore the habitat.

Director-general Hilary McGrady said: "The work will involve everything from making the site safe to active habitat restoration. We'll need to make new visitor routes and facilities and repair damage to buildings, to ensure people can enjoy the special landscape."

Army college teens' sexual abuse claims

Female recruits tell of assaults

BY CONOR WILSON

YOUNG female recruits were raped and sexually abused at an Army training centre, they told investigators.

One alleged that she was raped "for hours" by several teenage male soldiers in the Army Foundation College when she was just 17.

A BBC probe says there was a culture of abuse and misogyny at the Harrogate base, the UK's only junior entry basic training establishment, where most recruits are 16 or 17.

The trainee who claimed that she had been gang-raped said the attack in the recruits' living accommodation shattered her dreams of completing training and of serving her country.

Ordeal

She added: "They were like, 'Do you want to come in?' Being a naive 17-year-old [I] was like, 'Yeah, fine'."

"They started taking my clothes off. There were a lot of them. They touched me in places...calling me a thing rather than a girl. I was raped... by multiple junior soldiers, same age as me. It went on for hours."

The girl left training weeks later as she struggled to cope with her ordeal.

She added: "I would have just been known as the girl that sh*gged loads of people...for the rest of my career, and that's not what happened."

Another girl said a recruit "stood against the door so I couldn't get out", adding: "He then pushed himself up against me...touching me all over. He sexually assaulted me." She

was given an unrelated medical discharge from the North Yorkshire college, which she viewed as a relief.

The four cases covered by the BBC relate to the last five years.

There were 176 complaints of inappropriate sexual behaviour at the college from January 2018 to June 2025 – 32 against permanent staff and 144 involving junior soldiers.

Several adult AFC instructors have been convicted at courts martial of physical and sexual violence.

In 2023, Cpl Daniel Conway was jailed for more than seven years for rape and Cpl Simon Bartram was found guilty of sexual assault and sentenced to 20 months in detention.

None of the allegations uncovered by the BBC relate to those offences.

The Army said: "We encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed unacceptable or criminal behaviour at the Army Foundation College to come forward."

The spokesman added: "A number of changes have been made in recent years to support victims, including the right to report crimes directly to civilian emergency services."

THE sister of murdered student Meredith Kercher has backed a petition calling for the Edinburgh Fringe to cancel a show by Amanda Knox.

Stephanie Kercher said she "could not fathom" how rape and murder could be the subject of a comedy gig.

A petition launched by a friend of the Kercher family claims that Amanda's show - which is being performed at Gilded Balloon's Teviot venue - turns her rape and murder into entertainment.

Ms Knox, 39, was convicted in 2009 of the murder before her acquittal two years later and has gone on to write books and appear in documentaries about her experience.

Ms Kercher blasted: "Imagine 20 years after Meredith's death, your pain is turned into someone else's laughter. My sister's tragedy is being used to debut a comedy show this weekend in Edinburgh of all places by the very person who was questioned and taken into the legal system by Italian prosecution.

"I'm very aware in high-profile cases everyone has their opinions on guilt and innocence and I also agree with freedom of speech.

"However, when someone is still using Meredith's name to support themselves and when a comedy is linked to an individual case and person, I cannot fathom how rape and murder can be laughed about.

"And I cannot understand how one person's behaviour at the police station can be the subject of the comedy show."

Disrespectful

A spokeswoman for Ms Knox defended the performance, saying the petition made "false assumptions and mischaracterises the show".

But Sally Alington, who has known the Kercher family since before 21-year-old Meredith's death in Perugia, Italy, in 2007 started a petition on Change.org.

It calls on the Gilded Balloon venue and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to withdraw Ms Knox's show Cartwheel - billed as stand-up comedy with "adult" themes, which is centred around the case.

The petition, called Stop the Amanda Knox Cartwheel performance at the Edinburgh Fringe, had gathered nearly 5,000 signatures by last night ahead of Ms Knox's show debuting this weekend.

In an interview earlier this week, Ms Knox said she believed her former flatmate would have found the show "funny".

Now living in rural Washington state with her husband and two children, she also defended the show, which she said was about her wrongful imprisonment and how she will explain her past life to her daughter.

She has named the show Cartwheel after the move Ms Knox was widely reported to have made after being taken in for questioning. Ms Knox denies this happened.

Ms Kercher added: "Meredith, my sister, was a very clever and witty person and loved by so many for those very reasons. She was a

girl's girl who you could rely on and would very much be the strong courageous woman today. She absolutely would not find comedy surrounding these issues funny and I believe this goes against everything that inspirational women are still fighting for."

Ms Alington said: "I have a personal connection to the Kercher family and so know very well what they have been through since that tragic day in November 2007. To see this

distasteful and disrespectful performance being given the green light to go ahead under the label of a 'stand-up comedy' with 'adult' themes when we are talking about the rape and murder of a young woman totally beggars belief.

"This isn't just wholly inappropriate and hurtful to family and friends of Meredith, this goes far beyond that. It normalises and trivialises violence against women. I am urging

organisers from the Gilded Balloon and Fringe Festival to adjust their moral compasses, do the right thing and cancel these shows."

Gilded Balloon said it had no comment beyond a statement given last month defending hosting the show. It said: "The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is an open-access festival.

"We provide a platform for a wide range of voices, in line with the Fringe's long-standing commitment to freedom of expression."

Sir Chris: Clarkson's £10k copter tax helped us hit £1m

Jeremy persuaded donors to add £150k

JEREMY Clarkson helped Sir Chris Hoy raise £1million for his cancer charity by demanding extra donations from wealthy guests who travelled to a fundraising event by helicopter.

Cycling legend Sir Chris had organised an auction for his Tour De 4 challenge - founded after his terminal prostate cancer diagnosis.

Jeremy, who recently revealed he had been treated for early but aggressive prostate cancer, hosted the event.

As the total neared £1m, the TV star-turned-farmer secured extra cash from wealthy bidders.

Speaking on his Sporting Misadventures podcast, Sir Chris, 50, revealed: "We got to £850,000 with all the tickets and the tables and the auction and they wanted to hit £1m.

"Jeremy said, 'Right there are people here who have arrived in helicopters. Everyone here who has got a helicopter, I want 10 grand'."

"So he went around the room going, 10 grand

from you, 10 grand from you'. He got £150,000 from people and that's what made it up to £1m."

The event took place at a clay pigeon shoot in Northamptonshire last month.

Sir Chris called the former Top Gear star's actions "astonishing", adding: "I don't think anybody else would have got away with doing that but he has that presence.

"It was a fantastic afternoon, really good fun."

Jeremy, 66, revealed his diagnosis in June in an episode of his blockbuster Prime TV show Clarkson's Farm. He told staff his cancer had been caught early during a medical check.

He underwent surgery to remove part

Sir Chris praised Clarkson's 'presence'

of his prostate, and has said he is in remission. Six-time Olympic champion track cyclist Sir Chris revealed in 2024 that he had terminal prostate cancer.

He founded the Tour De 4 charity cycle ride with his wife Sarra to show that a stage-four diagnosis, while devastating, does not define what a person can achieve.

Participants can choose from one of four routes - from a static challenge, through 1km and as far as 56 miles.

The inaugural ride in and around Glasgow raised more than £3.1m for cancer research last September. The couple are now organising their second cycle challenge this September. Funds raised will go to charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, Breast Cancer Now, Cure Leukaemia, Prostate Cancer UK and Maggie's.

It's the polar opposite of justice being done

LABOUR continues to see and hear no evil over its controversial early prison release policy, which has sparked inevitable public anger.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham promised to exclude grooming gang members from a reckless plan designed to ease jail overcrowding. But it has now emerged five members of a Bradford cartel could be freed because they were only charged with indecent assault.

Monsters Mohammed Imran Akram, Safraz Ahmed Latif, Wajid Hussain, Mohammed Naheem and Nadeem Ali were locked up for between six and eight years last October for sexually abusing a girl.

Yet in another appalling loophole the charge of indecent assault (imposed because many of their offences took place before anti-grooming laws were introduced in 2003) does not fall within the PM's exemptions.

It means some could walk the streets as early as 2028.

Labour's leniency means some criminals will serve just a third of their sentences in prison.

The prospect has been described as 'yet another betrayal of victims' – one where unimaginable suffering counted only long enough to secure a conviction, and then stopped mattering.

Mr Burnham, currently enjoying a sunshine break after all of a fortnight in the job, needs to do the decent thing and halt this preposterous plan that will see killers of police officers and sex offenders rewarded, while those who suffered are slapped in the face.

What is proposed is the polar opposite of justice being done and being seen to be done.

We must beat extremism

ON JULY 7, 2005, four suicide bombers killed 52 innocent people and injured 770 others in coordinated attacks on the London transport network.

The unspeakable tragedy prompted the government to set up a de-radicalisation programme called Prevent as part of a wider counter-terrorism strategy.

More than two decades later, figures show a sharp rise in referrals to the programme, including nearly 400 children aged 10 or under.

Overall, the number referred has soared with a record 10,293 adults and children sent to Prevent over the past 12 months.

We must commit to redoubling our efforts to beat extremism. There is an invaluable weapon in this ongoing fight: the eyes and ears of the public, which has a duty to speak up wherever division and hate festers.

Backing Dunwich drive

THIS searingly long hot summer has been both a blessing and a curse. The wonderful weather has been a joy to behold but has wreaked widespread destruction.

Nowhere is that more evident than the Dunwich Heath conservation area in Suffolk which has been turned into a charred wasteland by wildfires.

We urge our readers to back a drive to raise funds to help return this unique area to its former glory as a haven of rich flora and fauna.

It's burning issue won't go away when the keyway ends

DURING the fire at Dunwich Heath, we saw the best of people. Locals opened homes to evacuees, brought food for firefighters, while The Red Cross and Salvation Army rallied.

It was described by one commentator as a kind of 'Blitz spirit'. On the front line, farmers supported fire services with machinery and water bowsers, teams from Sizewell C dug trenches, National Trust, RSPB and Natural England colleagues cut fire breaks and we mobilised a helicopter.

These collective efforts undoubtedly saved homes and villages. People did their bit.

Now we need a government response to match. Because the wildfires issue isn't going away.

The blaze that reduced the beautiful purple heath at Dunwich to char and ash was just one of 200 UK fires that fortnight. Fuelled by an extraordinarily dry summer – including the driest July on record – flames tore through parks, coastlands, reserves and farms.

In the days before Dunwich, a swathe of land overlooking the Needles on the Isle of Wight was ablaze. A huge fire in the Cairngorms is still burning. The Mourne Mountains, near Belfast, saw countless incidents.

Wildfires as ferocious as the one that destroyed Dunwich might once have been considered a far-off risk in the UK, but those days are gone.

So, our politicians have a choice to make – do they kick the can down the road and hope things will get better?

Or do we as a nation mobilise the many resources we're fortunate to have and fight for a better future?

If it's the latter, here's where Andy Burnham should start.

FIRSTLY, climate change and the crisis in nature must be treated as a societal and economic issue, not just an environmental one. The

Fire crews remain at the scene of devastation left by the Dunwich Heath wildfire

Hilary McGrady Guest columnist

Dunwich fire not only destroyed an historic landscape and precious wildlife habitats, but it cost the local economy and businesses, stretched resources and affected people's way of life.

Let's not forget that in 2022, during that unprecedented 40C heatwave, a wildfire destroyed 18 homes in East London.

While the promise of additional funding is welcome, the government still has not published a wildfire strategy, and fire crews don't even have access to the tools needed to fight these blazes – including rapid access to helicopters.

Preparing for climate change must be the job of every government department – from health to defence – with resilience plans akin to those of a pandemic.

Secondly, the Prime Minister needs to invest in the power of nature. It is simple science that wetter surfaces are harder to

burn. So we need a country-wide effort to capture and store rainfall. That means restoring our drained peat bogs, so they absorb rainwater like a sponge.

It means undoing centuries of dredging and straightening of our rivers, and letting them wriggle free, like we've allowed them to do at Holnicote in Somerset – a green oasis in an otherwise dry landscape.

It means treating nature as critical infrastructure like transport or utilities and investing in the same way. In Suffolk, the Minsmere wetlands acted as a natural firebreak between the flames and Sizewell.

Our research with More in Common found 83% of people think restoring nature is an important or top priority.

So this week we've launched a petition calling on the government to make climate resilience a national mission, give support to fire services and treat nature as critical infrastructure. Lastly,

we must tackle the issue at source. Wildfires are fuelled by rising temperatures, and preparing must go hand in hand with halting further warming.

ACOLLEAGUE at WWF recently said adaptation without mitigation is like 'mopping the floor while the tap's still running'. Until recently, we had cross-party consensus on this. The UK led the world with a Climate Change Act, and it was a Conservative government that introduced the net-zero target.

Our current Labour government was elected on a pledge to make Britain a clean energy 'superpower'. We must rediscover that consensus.

All of this is possible. Britain has responded to immense challenges in its past and we can do the same again. The public and civil society organisations are doing their bit. Thousands of people have already donated £350,000 to our fundraiser to help Dunwich Heath recover.

Collective spirit, determination and hope are alive. People want to help. Now, we need the political will to match.

Legal McKinstry

Arday's bizarre story is still an important one

BY THE time of his resignation on Wednesday as a professor at Cambridge University, Jason Arday had come to resemble a brilliant comic creation by Tom Sharpe or Ali G creator Sacha Baron Cohen. His boasts about his achievements were so outlandish he seemed to belong to the realms of fantasy rather than reality.

This is a man who claimed once to have run 30 marathons in 35 days, the last nine of them with a leg so badly broken that it swelled up to twice its normal size. In addition, he let it be known that he had also been a semi-professional footballer, a charity fundraiser, a top-class snooker player and a star of the television documentary Seven Up, though if this were true, it would have involved a miraculous feat of time travel, since the series began 20 years before he was born.

More serious were allegations of plagiarism. One study of his PhD paper highlighted 188 sentences that seemed to have been lifted straight from an earlier thesis. Tellingly he quit his post just as Cambridge launched an investigation into his work.

Arday's story is important because it reveals how Cambridge, one of the world's leading universities, apparently suspended all academic rigour in its obsession with promoting diversity. Tragically, the overall damage to its reputation could be permanent.

ANTI-POVERTY campaigners habitually indulge in scaremongering to justify their calls for yet more welfare. Now the Joseph Rowntree Foundation claims 7.4 million low income households cannot afford basic toiletries. How does that square with the fact 95% of people in Britain over 16 have a smart phone?

Start building more jails...or face fury!

THE early release plan for thousands of prisoners, including killers and paedophiles, is a desperate act of political lolly and a morally repugnant insult to the public. If our country was ruled by politicians who were genuinely determined to fight criminality, then a sufficient number of jail places would have been created to meet the growing demand for incarceration.

But that is precisely what ministers have failed to do, so they have ended up in the bizarre position of allowing prison capacity to dictate sentencing policy. Because of the shortage of jail cells, 5,000 inmates could be let out in October having served a third of their sentences.

The justified outrage of this policy is encapsulated in the cases of Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole, the teenagers convicted of the killing of PC Andrew Harper, who sustained massive, fatal injuries during his investigation of a quad bike theft. Bowers and Cole were each sentenced to 13 years for their part in this crime, but ministers admit that they are due for early release in October, something that Harper's widow rightly finds "disgusting".

At their trial, Bowers and Cole showed not a shred of remorse. Instead they smirked and laughed throughout the proceedings. Now, having been treated with such disgraceful leniency, their self-satisfied contempt for our legal system will be even greater.

Ministers have got into this mess because they have been reluctant to accept that a strong prison network is essential to the maintenance of our civilisation. Since the late 1960s, as the left took control of our civic institutions, a consensus has developed within

the political establishment that "prison doesn't work".

Even the Tories swallowed this line, writing in an official white paper in 1990 that "prison is an expensive way of making bad people worse". Apart from hand-wringing about jail costs – which now reach £60,000 for the average male inmate per year – it has also been common for the anti-prison

brigade to argue that criminals are the victims of society and need support rather than punishment.

Socialists prattle about deprivation as a prime cause of crime while academics wail about the impact of mental illness. One high-profile study estimated that 90% of prisoners have mental health problems, a figure that implies criminal behaviour itself is a medical

When exactly is a PM supposed to go on holiday?

THE WHOLE manufactured controversy over Andy Burnham's holiday is absurd. If critics feel he should not take a break now, even though Parliament is in receipt when do they support he should? The last truly successful Prime Minister was David Cameron, who got the balance between "climaxin" and hard work exactly right.

condition. The excuse-making can only undermine the ability of the state to protect us. Criminals have to be held responsible for their actions – that means building more prisons to accommodate them.

The British public recognise this truth far better than the jargon-riddled so-called experts. In accordance with public wishes, jail sentences have become significantly tougher in recent years with the average term handed out by the Crown Courts in England 25% longer than in 2012.

ITISTHE same story with life terms, which now average 17 years, compared to 13 years in 2008. In response, serious crime has fallen, contrary to the deluded expectations of the "prison doesn't work" mob. The lowest re-offending rates are found among those who served the longest sentences, whereas so-called community penalties smack of ineffectual leniency.

This week BBC News stated that "despite the fall in crime, more people are being sent to prison – and for longer". If the BBC were not so blinded by dogma, it would understand that penal rigour is actually the explanation for the drop in offending.

The new PM faces a crucial test: will he abandon the discredited early release scheme and start building jails? Or will he cling to a flawed programme, which makes a mockery of justice? On his answer hangs the fate of his government.

I'LL NEVER FORGET MARGOT, A MUCH-LOVED MAYOR AND MASTER MATCHMAKER

FEW MARRIED couples can have a more original story of how they met than me and my wife Elizabeth. Our tale features romance across the political divide, an unlikely location and a benevolent matchmaker. It all happened in May 1994, when I was up for re-election as a local Labour councillor in Islington. On the day of polling, I was feeling depressed because I was certain I was going to lose my seat to

the Liberal Democrat candidate, a gracious but formidable community campaigner called Margot Dunn.

When I ran into Margot, left, early that morning, she asked if I was going to be at any particular polling station later. I could not see the harm in yelling her, so I said: "Yes, St Mary's School at noon," and then I asked, "What's this all about, Margot?"

With an enigmatic smile she replied: "You'll find out." When I

arrived at St Mary's School I had my answer. Collecting the voting numbers for the Liberal Democrats was this beautiful American redhead by the name of Elizabeth. A close friend of Margot's, she had been at home that morning when she received an urgent instruction to get to St Mary's by noon.

As Margot generously intended, Elizabeth and I fell in love that day and have been together ever since. Margot easily won my seat and went on to become a much-admired Mayor of Islington. Sadly she died last week at the age of 95, a battler to the end. The debt that Elizabeth and I owe her is uncalculable.

William Hickey

— Bringing the gossip since 1933 —

WHILE preachy stars have traditionally gravitated towards the Labour Party, prominent celebrity backers for the Tories have long been thin on the ground. But is there change in the air?

Both actress Dame Maureen Lipman and television presenter Kirstie Allsopp have been voicing support for the Conservatives in recent days, having been swayed by the performance of Kemi Badenoch.

A former Labour loyalist, Maureen, above left, announces she's ready to vote Tory for the first time thanks to 'amazing' Kemi, while posh Kirstie's previous insistence on distancing herself from the Conservatives is now a thing of the past, after she hailed the 'brilliant' leader of the opposition this week. Are we finally witnessing the rise of the Tory lavvie?

ONE prominent Conservative casualty from the last election confirms he's bidding to make a comeback. Having lost to Labour in North East Somerset by just over 5,000 votes in 2024, Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg has formally applied to be put back on the party's candidates' list. The Tory gent quips: 'We'll see if I get purged later.'

WITH sharp-tongued BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty, left, due to leave the programme after 17 years, colleagues brace themselves for her upcoming on-screen farewell.

As well as being the subject of an internal bullying probe – no formal action was taken – Naga's reported feud with BBC Breakfast boss Richard Frediani made headlines. 'Naga doesn't do cosy goodbyes,' chuckles my source. 'We're expecting a few spiky remarks during her final show.'

PREPARING to promote an upcoming memoir, Anneka Rice recalls the disheartening moment she discovered her Madame Tussauds waxwork had been removed. The presenter jokes: 'My body was melted down to become Kim Kardashian's bottom.'

WITH Prince William having recently caused a stir after claiming the late Queen preferred the 'cream first, jam second' Devon method for her scones, rather than the rival Cornish tradition (jam first), the monarch's personal chef Darren McGrady indignantly insists to the contrary.

'Let's clear this up,' he fumes. 'When the Queen was hosting afternoon tea, scones were always served halved with jam first and clotted cream on top.'

Darren also clarifies: 'On her own she would never have clotted cream, because she fed the scones to her corgis.'

NOW A familiar fixture on the airwaves, TV and Radio 2 presenter Angela Scanlon confesses to fibbing about her age when first attempting to forge a career in London.

Previously officially born on 'December 29, 1983', the Irish star now awkwardly admits: 'It's actually 1982. Exclusive...Wikipedia has me as 1983. I did shave off a year when I first moved to London, because at 29 I thought I was too old. I didn't want to hit 30 too quickly.' Angela now openly embraces the ripe old age of 43...

My Pokémon-opoly! I really have got to catch 'em all

Jolina Gisele tells Tatler about her card haul

THE Pokémon franchise is famous for its slogan "Gotta catch 'em all"...but this young heiress took the line a little too literally.

Jolina Gisele, 20, has become an Internet sensation after amassing a trading card collection said to be worth more than £50million.

The Swiss technology heiress has more than 60,000 of the prized items, all in unopened, pristine condition.

With the help of her father Urs, an AI security entrepreneur, she has built one of the world's most valuable Pokémon card hauls, making her the envy of collectors across the globe.

"At some point, I thought that my dad might have overdone it a bit. My mother and I were a bit scared that we spent so much money on the cards. So many packages came in each day. All of a sudden, my dad was addicted to shopping for Pokémon cards."

Urs said: "We are talking now always about money, but it was something I could do with my daughter and we spent so many hours and days together looking for the cards. This is the main thing.

"I was working a lot and then coming home and nobody wanted to talk about mathematics or physics. Pokémon was something which brought us together."

ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor came face-to-face with an alleged stalker wearing a balaclava who chased after him in a confrontation close to his Sandringham home, a court heard yesterday.

Alex Jenkinson, 39, is charged with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour towards the former Duke of York in Norfolk on May 6.

Suffolk Police are also applying for a civil stalking protection order against Jenkinson.

Deputy chief magistrate Tan Ikram read out parts of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's witness statement – due to form the centrepiece of legal proceedings – at the Westminster court.

The King's brother said that when he was out for a walk with his dogs on the estate, he spotted a car which he assumed to belong to press photographers and then he and his security detail "drove past the car".

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor said a man "turned and faced me – he was wearing a balaclava face covering".

He provided a description of the "out-of-place" man and added in his statement: "I then saw a loose dog running towards him. Then he

Andrew 'chased by man in a balaclava'

realised who I was and began to sprint after my vehicle."

The court hearing took place in Jenkinson's absence as he was blocked from the building after arriving with his dog. His lawyer Claire Howell told Judge Ikram: "He has had to bring his dog.

Dog

"He is homeless and currently in accommodation in a Travelodge.

"He is not allowed to leave the dog there. It provides him with support. He suffers from ADHD."

Ms Howell conceded that she has no documents to prove Jenkinson's medical condition or his need for a support animal. The judge heard and

agreed an application for a stalking protection order to be adjourned and decided the hearing could take place in Jenkinson's absence.

The accused, with his arm in a sling, stood on the pavement outside with his dog. Ms Howell told the court that Jenkinson, of Stowmarket, Suffolk, has now been found temporary accommodation where he can leave the pet for future hearings.

Jenkinson denies the public order offence of causing the former prince to "fear unlawful violence" in the confrontation in Wolverton, close to his Marsh Farm property.

He has also pleaded not guilty to a further charge of using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause fear or

provoke unlawful violence against another man, Stephen Terry, in King's Lynn, on May 5.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, is due to give evidence by videolink at the trial, set for December 21.

Jenkinson, who is also fighting the making of the stalking protection order, is on conditional bail and cannot go near Windsor Sandringham, Buckingham Palace, Balmoral or Highgrove.

He is also forbidden from trying to contact Mr Mountbatten-Windsor directly or indirectly, or approach him, or enter Norfolk.

A MARKET town was plunged into chaos for a second night as a violent mob of up to 100 people stormed houses they believed were housing asylum seekers.

Two men were arrested after police officers were taken to hospital during ongoing anti-immigration protests in Thetford.

Last night policing powers were stopped up to prevent a third night of disorder, including the removal of face coverings if asked to do so.

Norfolk Police said significant resources had been deployed to the town on Wednesday night to maintain public safety after a large group gathered in Clover Way.

Officers had to respond to reports at 9.30pm of people trying to break into a property.

As police moved in, some protesters became physically aggressive.

A male officer was hit with a rock and a female colleague was "seriously" bitten, breaking the skin. A third officer reported being spat at.

Earlier, a crowd gathered outside the local police station for an anti-immigration protest, which police described as "largely peaceful".

It followed Tuesday's night of disorder when windows and fences were smashed as a mob tried to break into properties in three roads.

Five men were rescued by police from one home in front of a baying crowd shouting, "Get out!".

A man was allegedly forced from his home before having his phone stolen while a door and window

Windows were smashed at one house

were smashed at a third property as violence exploded in the town.

The disorder followed rumours on social media that asylum seekers were being housed in the area.

A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence. He has since been released and issued with a conditional caution.

Video circulated online showed one man shouting: "They don't want the white man any more. They want us all gone."

Separate footage shows an officer telling a crowd they have a right to exercise their freedom of expression, but must do so peacefully.

Two arrests were made on Wednesday for offences including public order, harassment and possession of an offensive weapon.

One man in his 40s was taken into custody. The second man, Brian Thompson, 68, of Fairfields, Thetford, was charged with possession of an offensive weapon – a wooden bat. He was released on bail and is due to appear at Norwich magistrates court on August 25.

Terry Jerny, MP for South West Norfolk, condemned the "ugly scenes". The Labour politician added: "People have been pulled from their homes – a place of safety – and forcibly removed, with reports of members of the public breaking into homes, taking property and smashing windows.

"This would have been utterly terrifying for the people in these

FOREIGN SOCIAL HOUSING TENANTS FACE EVICTION UNDER TORIES

FOREIGNERS will be banned from getting council houses if the Tories win the next general election, with tens of thousands of existing tenants evicted.

Nearly 300,000 socially rented homes have a foreign national as a lead tenant, data shows.

Plans from the Conservatives mean those legally considered to be single, and who do not hold UK, Irish or EU citizenship, would lose their property.

The announcement comes amid a raft of policies as Kemi Badenoch takes aim at Britain's welfare bill.

Under Tory plans, some 220,144 council homes would be emptied, with tenants losing the right to stay there. Those properties would then be given to British citizens on the social homes waiting list.

Future tenancies would be for UK nationals only, with even EU citizens unable to apply. Shadow Work

and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately said: "Making Britain your home should be earned by working, paying tax and integrating. It should not come with a free ride on the benefits system."

In January, Reform UK also said it would ban foreign nationals from social housing, adding tenants will need private accommodation or risk deportation.

Labour branded the proposals "unworkable".

A spokesperson added: "People without Indefinite Leave to Remain are already ineligible for social housing, so this policy would primarily affect refugees and long-term UK residents who have contributed to this country but are not British citizens, including NHS staff."

properties and also very worrying for neighbouring residents.

"Whatever our own individual views on immigration – mob rule and vigilantism is not acceptable."

In June, Mr Jerny urged the Home Office to end "secrecy and confusion" around plans to house asylum seekers in former military

barracks, including nearby RAF Burnham. The MP, whose constituency borders the base, said he had "made clear my strong objections" to its use for asylum seekers'.

In a statement on the disorder, he said: "I am concerned these latest incidents undermine our legitimate concerns about Home Office's pro-

posals and further divert local police resources."

Assistant Chief Constable Julie Dean said: "We will not stand by and allow violence to take place, whether directed towards members of the public or police officers. Where criminal offences are committed, we will take robust action."

Nurses face 'inhumane treatment' in care work

NURSES are suffering "grotesque exploitation" in the social care sector, medics have warned.

The Royal College of Nursing said some migrant staff are being underpaid, having their visa position used as leverage to demand "huge" repayments and having their pay and conditions altered.

The RCN said it has seen a surge in people seeking support "due to exploitative practices".

They include excessive working hours, high exit fees, overcrowded and poor accommodation and illegal charges.

The union's report warns "the inhumane treatment of staff who have come to support the UK's social care system poses a serious risk to sector stability".

It comes after Andy Burnham pledged to "put everything I've

Care workers report abuse

got" into fixing adult social care.

The RCN report examines experiences of 383 staff who sought its support from 2023-25.

It details cases of employers using repayment clauses to recover costs from staff trying to leave before the end of their contract, with one reportedly demanding £25,000.

Others said they were paid less than agreed while some were forced to work longer hours.

The RCN pointed out that adult social care is "deeply reliant" on migrant workers. Some 30% of all jobs in the sector are held by a non-British national.

CEO and general secretary Prof Nicola Ranger said: "Just a week after the PM laid out his plans for social care in England, this report exposes the scale of grotesque exploitation taking place in the sector."

The Department of Health and Social Care was asked to comment.

Raleigh may face chop as parent firm collapses

BY ANNA WISE

THE future of iconic UK bike brand Raleigh is under threat after its Dutch owner started insolvency proceedings.

Accell UK and Ireland, part of the Accell Group, filed a notice of intention to use administrators.

Jonas Nilsson, chief executive of Accell, said it was a “deeply sad and frustrating situation” but the firm had “tirelessly explored” every option for the future of the historic cycling business.

He added: “Our immediate focus is to support an orderly process, provide clarity wherever possible and work with the relevant court-appointed administrators to preserve viable activities and employment where circumstances allow.”

The company bought Raleigh in 2012 for £74million, adding to its roster of bike brands including Haibike, Winora and Ghost.

Raleigh was founded in Nottingham in 1887 and soon became the world’s largest maker of bicycles – with 10,000 staff producing up to two million a year there.

Its Chopper bike with high-rise handlebars became a symbol of the 1970s but production in Nottingham finished in 2003 – replaced by Asian factories – and its head office was moved to Eastwood, Notts.

Accell had gone through a restructuring in February, securing additional funding from shareholders and lenders and reducing its debts.

Traveller site murder rap

BY HELEN WILLIAM

A MAN has appeared in court charged with murder over a shooting at a traveller site.

Shane Porter, 35, is accused of killing Jimmy Ward, 36, near Cricklade, Wilts, on Sunday morning.

Porter, of Calcutt, appeared at Swindon magistrates’ court yesterday. He is also charged with possession of a shotgun. Eddie Porter, 74, and Tammy Brown, 42, both of Luton, are charged with assisting an offender and possession of a shotgun.

They were remanded in custody and are due to appear before Bristol crown court today.

A COTSWOLDS tourist hotspot dubbed “the most beautiful village in the world” could have raked in £45,000 in parking fines last year – a rise of 2,000% in seven years.

Bibury is famous for its 14th century honey-coloured stone cottages which once featured on the inside cover of British passports.

Forbes previously named it as the most beautiful village in the world.

But an independent report has highlighted how that global acclaim is bringing major problems.

Locals are complaining of dangerous parking and over-tourism on the village’s narrow lanes.

Figures show parking wardens issued 651 penalty charge notices in Bibury last year, up from just 28 in 2019. Gloucestershire County Council has stepped up enforcement in response to residents’ complaints.

With fines set at £70 – halved to £35 if paid within two weeks – it means tickets issued in 2025 could have generated up to £45,570.

Congestion

This would be equivalent to about £3,797 a month or roughly £900 a week. The 28 fines in 2019 would have generated £1,960 if motorists paid the full penalty.

Community representative Craig Chapman said many visitors showed “very little regard for the villagers”.

He added that people would park wherever they could, even if that meant blocking pavements or stopping on double yellow lines.

Mr Chapman argued firm enforcement was needed to keep routes open for ambulances and fire engines and to make sure pedestrians could walk safely through the village centre.

However, the cost of sending wardens out so regularly is estimated at around £4,000 a month, meaning income from fines alone does not cover the full bill for enforcement.

In response, the county council is planning to bring in pay-and-display parking for 24 on-street spaces, with proposed charges of £6 or £7 for two hours during the busy March to October period. Those tariffs have been benchmarked against other

Visitors push up parking fines by 2,000% in ‘most beautiful’ village

popular locations and officials say they could potentially bring in up to £218,880 a year.

This would deliver a projected surplus of up to £360,680 over four years once enforcement costs are taken into account. Separately, a pedestrianised area in the middle of Bibury that was

previously used for coach parking is to be made permanent.

And temporary barriers will be replaced by structures designed to fit better with the historic setting.

A focus group is also examining options for out-of-village parking to ease pressure on residents’ driveways

and the village’s tight road network, amid a wider £175,000 investment package aimed at managing visitor numbers and congestion.

The council said the figures in the latest report are “absolute maximums”, with fines reduced if paid quicker or appealed.

Cllr Lisa Spivey, leader of Gloucestershire County Council, said: “We want to ensure that the community in Bibury is well supported – from those who want to manage tourism to businesses that rely on the income to those that want to have a wonderful day out.

“The village receives a huge number of visitors which had led to congestion issues.

“The council has taken a proactive enforcement approach to ensure both residents and visitors can enjoy the village.

“This involves working together and part of this is managing parking that is safe, legal and appropriate for the size of the village.”

McPherson and Paula Leeson

Cleared man

did murder heiress wife says coroner

BY PAT HURST

A CONMAN formerly acquitted of killing his heiress wife did murder her, a coroner has said.

Donald McPherson was cleared of killing Paula Leeson, 47, after a judge's direction of lack of evidence in 2021.

He had taken out £3.5million worth of life insurance on her. Within hours of the "accidental drowning" in 2017 he took thousands from her account to pay off debts.

Two years ago Ms Leeson's family, who run a plant hire firm in South Manchester, blocked him inheriting her £4.4m estate. A judge in a civil case ruled McPherson, 53, unlawfully killed her in a swimming pool.

At yesterday's inquest in Stockport, coroner Alison Mutch said that McPherson, 53, was the only person to benefit from her death, adding: "I am therefore satisfied he did murder his wife.

Neck

"Her husband compressed her neck to render her unconscious, causing her body to enter the pool."

DCI Daniel Clegg had said earlier: "This was a homicide. She died at his hands. I have not looked for anyone else."

Sophie Cartwright KC, for the Leeson family, asked him if he believed McPherson murdered Ms Leeson and he replied: "That's correct." The officer said there had been a miscarriage of justice – and McPherson, living in New Zealand, should be serving life.

The inquest heard a retrial cannot take place without compelling new evidence. Ms Cartwright said the family hope that police, who have access to McPherson's laptop, will find details to "get them over the line".

Property developer McPherson had used multiple name changes to hide his past after being jailed for an £11m bank fraud. He had 32 convictions over 15 years in three countries.

McPherson has always denied any involvement in his wife's death.

Landlords blast bonkers bid to make all pub customers sit

BY JAMES KNUCKEY

BANNING punters from standing at bars is "pretty much the kiss of death", the landlady of one of Soho's most iconic pubs has said.

Westminster City Council has pro- posed restricting or removing "verti- cal drinking".

But Lesley Lewis, who has run The French House pub and dining room in Central London for 37 years, called the plans a "hammerblow" to the his- toric venue, which opened in 1891.

Tory-run Westminster is consult- ing on plans to encourage table service in Soho and the wider West End to "discourage exces- sive drunkenness".

Ms Lewis, 71, said: "This is pretty much the kiss of death, if they do that. If people choose to have tables and waiter service, that's great – a lot of places do but they're usually big places.

"We just can't make it work and certainly we'd lose half our staff, which I also don't want to do. I'm fighting to keep them all on.

"It's just miserable, it's another hammerblow at the pub."

The compact venue is an institution in Soho. A favourite among celebrities over the years, Madness lead singer Suggs was among those enjoying a drink outside yesterday.

Westminster Council has denied claims the proposal amounts to an effective ban on standing in pubs.

Deputy council leader Tim Barnes called such suggestions "utterly ludi- crous", adding: "Our guidance is sim-

Left, Conrad Langley with wife Jasmine. Above, from left, Lesley Lewis, Suggs with fellow drinkers and George Miles

ply about encourag- ing venues to manage their cus- tomers so people don't pack on to pavements or exces- sive drinking doesn't disturb others passing by."

But Ms Lewis said The

French House "relies" on people being able to enjoy beverages outside.

Pub-goers said sipping drinks along Soho's streets is part of its appeal.

Conrad Langley, 34, who was enjoy- ing a drink with his wife, said: "You know what you're expecting when you come to Soho. Let's not strangle the businesses that are already suffering. You're limiting capacity for them by doing that."

Friends Lewis Watts, 33, and Adam Wright, 25, also expressed concerns.

Lewis said ordering at the bar is the "charm" of pubs, while Adam said he preferred drinking outside because

they quickly get "packed" inside. A Campaign For Real Ale spokesman warned some venues could shut if the plans go ahead, saying they resemble a "return" to Covid-era restrictions.

They added: "It would reduce social interaction and would restrict num- bers in any establishment and cause some pubs already struggling to be no longer viable."

Misstep

The sector is already reeling from Labour raising employers' national insurance contributions.

Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: "When two pubs are closing each day and publicans only make 12p profit per pint, any measure that will reduce customer numbers, increase staffing costs and further squeeze operating margins is a total misstep."

Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time

Industries Association, warned a shift towards more seating and reduced standing "risks changing the very character of these venues".

George Miles, assistant general manager at The Toucan, famous for its pours of Guinness, said: "Pubs thrive in this area because it's unique."

Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan blasted the council's "restrictive and anti-growth policies" and indicated he would challenge them under new powers granted by the government.

Defending the proposals, Mr Barnes said: "We are the country's largest planning authority with some 4,000 licensed venues. We reject less than 1.5% of licence applications and there is a strong desire to see thriving, prof- itable venues across Westminster.

"As we have made clear we are happy to work with the Mayor of London on licensing and have just launched our own campaign to promote nights out in Soho."

Shamed star Stephen Bear

Reality star locked up for posts about ex-girlfriend

BY HELEN WILLIAM

DISGRACED reality TV star Stephen Bear has been jailed for breaching a restraining order by posting on social media about his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner made degrading comments about former Towie star Ms Harrison.

Bear was hit with the five-year restraining order in 2023 as part of his sentence for sharing a sex tape of Ms Harrison online.

Prosecutors said Ms Harrison provided screenshots and screen recordings showing Bear making accusations and comments about her, despite being banned from doing so.

After sentencing on Wednesday, Ms

Georgia Harrison spoke out

Harrison, 31, said she was grateful to Essex Police. She added: "[They] took me seriously when so many women in my position are overlooked."

She added: "They treated this as the serious crime it is.

"They built the case properly, they stayed with it, and... they acted instead of shrugging.

"From the messages I get every day, I know how rare that still is."

The CPS said Bear, 36, of Walthamstow, east London, tried to cast doubt on his convictions by alleging Ms Harrison and her mother had conspired to pervert the course of justice.

Bear also created an online petition seeking support for a retrial and attempted to obtain Ms Harrison's bank statements. He was jailed for 16 months at Chelmsford crown court.

LOOSE Women presenter Nadia Sawalha has threatened legal action against ITV for allegedly taking her "on and off" the panel show, claiming she was dropped over her support for Palestine.

The star, 61, alleged she was removed from the series following an "escalating campaign" calling for her to be axed.

She added: "No one should be bullied out of their job."

Along with the lawsuit threat, Ms Sawalha launched a petition calling for ITV to publicly apologise and reinstate her on the show, which has already garnered 20,000 signatures.

In a video shared on Instagram, she said: "I want to say how sad I am that it's got to this. Believe me, I have appealed to ITV's hearts and minds, but to no avail.

"After I began speaking publicly in support of Palestine in December 2023, I became the target of an escalating campaign of smears,

Ms Sawalha, second right, stars with, from left, Christine Lampard, Judi Love and Jane Moore

complaints, hostile media coverage and targeted calls to have me removed from Loose Women."

The panellist said she was removed from the popular programme in July and accused ITV of "forever changing the goalposts".

She said: "They couldn't guarantee they wouldn't take me off again, as it

would depend on what was said, even though I'm hired for being an opinionated woman on a discussion show, and I've never brought up or spoken about Palestine directly on the show.

"This is the tip of the iceberg of what's been happening."

The presenter launched her peti-

tion with the aim of showing there are "many more people with us than against us".

She added: "It's not just me that has been targeted like this, from my beliefs. There are the teachers, doctors, nurses, charity and supermarket workers, and students who have also spoken according to their conscience and have suffered a similar fate as me. Enough is enough.

"We need to send a clear message to ITV and other groups and corporations that we won't be scared into silence, and no one should be bullied out of their job for following their conscience and speaking out against brutal oppression."

ITV was contacted for comment. Ms Sawalha joined the ITV show in 1999 as one of the original panellists alongside Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Karren Brady. She took a maternity break in 2002 and returned to the programme in 2013.

An accomplished actress, she is also known for playing Annie Palmer on EastEnders in the late 1990s.

Magic mushroom psychedelic 'can help depression'

ONE DOSE of the natural psychedelic found in magic mushrooms could significantly ease depression resistant to other treatments, a study found.

Symptoms went into remission for four in 10 patients in the first publicly funded trial of the therapy.

One person described the treatment as "very emotional" at times, but said it helped them to understand their depression more. The trial, led by King's College London and published

BY STORM NEWTON

in Nature Medicine, included 60 people with depression that had not responded to two prior treatments.

Half were given 25mg of psilocybin, while the other half were given a placebo. Both groups had psychological support throughout.

More than four in 10 people taking psilocybin met the threshold for treatment response after three weeks,

rising to 56% after six weeks. This is compared to 3% of placebo patients.

It also helped 40% of patients enter remission – meaning their symptoms fell low enough to no longer meet clinical criteria – within three weeks compared to 3% in the placebo group.

Professor James Rucker, of King's College London, said: "The wider evidence base for psilocybin therapy is growing rapidly, and looks increasingly promising."

Sewage in River Stour

'Shameful' verdict on our polluted waterways

BY STEPH SPYRO Environment Editor

ENGLAND'S waterways have been branded a "national shame", with just 14% in good health.

The first update in six years assessed 4,658 rivers, lakes, estuaries, canals and coastal waters on standards including wildlife, water quality and physical habitat.

Just 14.3% of surface water bodies had overall good ecological status in 2025 with the rest harmed by sewage spills, agricultural run-off and pollutants from towns and roads such as litter, fuel and pesticides.

Gary Carter, GMB union national officer, said: "The terrible state of England's waterways is a badge of national shame – privatised water companies must take a massive chunk of the blame. They've been allowed to pump sewage into our rivers, streams and lakes as massive dividends and fatcat salaries take priority over repairing crumbling infrastructure."

Short

Only 15% of rivers score an ecological status of good or higher in the Environment Agency data revealed yesterday, leaving water bodies far short of the government target to restore 75% to "good" by 2027.

Greenpeace's head of politics, Ami McCarthy, said: "These stark findings should start alarm bells ringing.

"The government needs to take urgent action to turn off the chemicals that are destroying our land."

She urged ministers to support farmers to rein in "runaway use of fertilisers and pesticides" and to boost nature-friendly practices.

Environment Secretary Angela Eagle said the data showed the need for "wholesale change". Trade body Water UK said that firms will invest a record £22billion in eco-improvements by 2030.

In this heatwave, rain is just a pond memory

Fears landmarks dried out by hot weather may be lost forever

THE heatwave has damaged some village ponds and their wildlife so badly there are fears they may never recover.

Ponds are a part of the landscape but the record-breaking hot spell has dried up dozens, killing animals relying on them.

Some of Britain's 500,000 ponds and enclosed bodies of water may struggle to survive future hot spells unless properly maintained.

Among villages where ponds have vanished are Stanhoe, near Burnham Market, Norfolk, and Barton and Wicken in Cambridgeshire.

A 300-year-old pond called The Crammer in Devizes, Wilts, which features in the 18th-century Moonrakers legend is at its lowest water point since the 1976 heatwave and is now largely cracked mud.

It is said to be where smugglers, caught trying to retrieve contraband

brandy from the pond, tricked revenue men by pointing at the Moon's reflection and saying they were trying to rake in a round cheese.

One resident said: "As the climate changes and we can't deny that summers are getting hotter, perhaps we just need to accept it's a seasonal feature."

Meanwhile, residents in Stanhoe, Norfolk, have begun a rota to supply drinking water to their locals ducks after their home dried up in the recent heatwave.

The ducks have been sheltering from the sun in the rushes around the parched banks and pecking for food on the dried-up mud.

A sign beside the pond said: "A small group of local residents have got together a rota to supply drinking water to the receptacles they've put

in place for the geese and ducks and also to provide food for them."

In the small, picturesque village of Barton, four miles south-west of Cambridge, the village pond has also disappeared.

It is predominantly made up of run-off water from the nearby road. When the water ran out in 2022, villagers rescued more than 400 fish.

Twenty miles north in Wicken, their village pond is also suffering from the drought and its duck house on stilts is not being used.

Residents in Redhill, Surrey, are concerned about a dried-up historical pond which they fear will never recover unless it is better maintained. When Chain Pond on Earlswood Common dried up in July, residents left paddling pools filled with water for wildlife.

Locals are urging Reigate and Banstead borough council to de-silt it

and unblock a water inlet. In Falmer, East Sussex, near Brighton, the pond is bone dry.

The Environment Agency has said it is swamped with fish rescues as many species struggle to adapt to the arid conditions. An EA spokeswoman said: "The prolonged dry and hot weather is creating conditions that put significant stress on fish populations. We are currently undertaking many fish rescues."

Temperatures are expected to drop to the August average this weekend, settling at between 15C and 24C – compared with days of consistent 30C heat.

But some forecasters are predicting temperatures to rise again across the South, putting some areas back above heatwave thresholds.

The Met Office has said many southern areas, where rain is most needed, "may remain largely dry".

A FORMER butcher who dismembered his victim then hid the body in a concrete-filled barrel has been jailed for at least 35 years.

Farmer Christopher Wright, 73, was convicted last month of murdering Richard Dyson, 55, who disappeared in 2019, then concealing the body for six years.

Mr Dyson who lived in his car on Wright's land at Hoyland in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was reported missing by his daughter.

The police missing person's inquiry became a murder investigation and last year officers found the concealed body in a barrel on a trailer.

Mr Dyson did odd jobs for the farmer but the two fell out after Wright, an antique firearms collector, suspected him of stealing from him and selling on possessions.

Harrowing

Wright shot him in the arm and chest and, over the following days, he dismembered him, bought cement from a builder's merchant then concealed the body parts in a blue barrel. Wright then put the barrel in a trailer and persuaded an innocent and unwitting neighbour to store the vehicle.

Wright's childhood friend Karl Schwalbe, 72, was convicted of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice after helping to conceal the crime. He was jailed for three years.

At Sheffield crown court Mr Justice Cotter said Wright must serve life with a minimum term of 35 years less time on remand, and was likely to die in prison.

The judge said: "You had worked as a butcher and were skilled enough to do such a terrible thing, something few ordi-

nary people would have the stomach for." In her victim's statement, Mr Dyson's daughter, Bethany Dainty, spoke of not knowing what had happened to her father for so long. She said: "I couldn't grieve because I did not know the truth."

When police were searching his property, Wright was filmed in a hotel praying for absolution from God and that his weapons would not be found.

Wright was convicted of murder, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, preventing a lawful burial as well as firearms offences.

Outside court, Det Chief Insp. Andy Knowles said: "Wright and Schwalbe knew what happened to Richard and even with the evidence against them, they continued to deny accountability, making Richard's family endure a trial, listen to harrowing evidence and distressing testimonies."

New life for conflict zone lions

A BRITISH charity has plucked two lions from a war zone and taken them to a new life of freedom in Africa – where they walked on grass for the first time.

Ben-Tzur and Ori were taken from their mother shortly after birth and passed around owners as trophy pets, victims of a sick social media trend.

They were trafficked to Israel, where one was found tied to a tree and the other in a basement.

Just when their luck seemed to be changing, they were stranded because of the Middle East conflict.

But thanks to Animal Defenders International, their forever home will be the rolling grasslands of the chari-

ty's 455-acre sanctuary in South Africa where they can learn to roar with other lions and develop their animal instincts.

ADI founders Jan Creamer and Tim Phillips accompanied the two big cats on the 50-hour journey from Israel to Johannesburg via Cairo and Frankfurt.

Tim, from Surrey, said: "They visibly changed the moment they arrived at our sanctuary.

Roared

"After a first night sleeping on a nest of hay, they walked out of their house and mapped the layout of their territory and grew in confidence.

"The rescue was a very difficult operation because the war regularly closed airspace, leaving no cargo flights leaving Israel. As soon as we got word of a flight, we seized it.

"The other lions roared a welcome and you could see their natural instincts start to awaken. They are young and not roaring yet, but they will soon be joining the morning and evening sanctuary chorus."

MASKED men drove a car inside a motorway services to raid its cashpoint and slot machines.

Video captured by passer-by Rupon Miah, 34, at 2am shows what appears to be a black Nissan Juke reversing down the concourse.

The ATM machine is seen to be visibly damaged, as men in balaclavas exit the car and open its boot. They then head into the slot machine area at Wetherby services on the A1(M).

Rupon, from Crystal Palace, South London, said: "I literally came out of the toilet and saw the car basically drive into the service station and was ramming the ATM with the car.

"I started recording after they rammed the first machine. I saw four males all get out of the car with masks on, balaclavas.

"They were just raiding the slot machine game room in the service station. Basically, after that I went outside and walked to my car and saw them

driving off with the ATM machine in the boot of their car with the boot open."

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said an investigation into the July 29 incident was ongoing, but there had been no arrests.

Appealing on their Facebook page for witnesses, the force said: "A black vehicle, believed to be an older-model Nissan Juke, was used to repeatedly ram a standalone ATM.

"Four men wearing face coverings and gloves were involved. Two of the suspects then attached what is believed to have been a chain to an &PLAY cash pay-out machine. The machine was loaded into the rear of the Nissan Juke.

"A Nissan Juke has since been recovered in the Leeds area. The vehicle had been set on fire and the stolen cash machine was found inside."

POLICE are quizzing four men after seizing a massive four and a quarter tons of illegal raw meat during a raid.

The huge haul of potentially contaminated food was taken from an unapproved cutting plant in Dudley, West Midlands, by the local council, the Food Standards Agency and its National Food Crime Unit.

Now the FSA and NFCU are working alongside the local authorities to trace the illegal meat and clear it from shelves.

Cllr Patrick Harley, leader of Dudley Council, said: "This operation demonstrates the value of strong partnership protecting residents and maintaining confidence in the food supply chain.

Diligence

"Working with the National Food Crime Unit and other enforcement partners, Dudley Council officers helped identify and tackle activity that posed a potential risk to public health.

"The sale of illegal meat bypasses the strict safety and hygiene standards in place to protect consumers, making enforcement action like this vital.

"I would like to thank all the agencies involved for their collaborative work.

"We will continue to work with partners to take robust action against anyone operating outside the law and putting public safety at risk." Will Simpson,

regional intelligence officer at the NFCU, said a criminal investigation had been launched and added: "Food businesses must do their due diligence on their suppliers to ensure they meet their legal responsibilities to sell food that's safe and what it says it is.

"We remain vigilant to the threat of illegal meat entering the food chain and will continue to take action to protect the public.

"Anyone with suspicions of food crime can report it safely

and confidentially to the NFCU. You can report a food crime online or by freephone on 0800 028 1180."

The joint operation also included West Midlands Police, HMRC and representatives from the Home Office.

Meat illegally placed into the food chain bypasses rigorous UK safety and hygiene checks, meaning it can carry diseases and contaminants that could put consumers at risk, according to the FSA.

NIGEL Havers is keen to have his own "Bobby Ewing moment" by bringing Corrie conman Lewis Archer back from the dead to marry Audrey Roberts.

Dallas fans will remember how Sue Ewing woke up, went to the bathroom and found ex-husband Bobby standing there – making his death all a dream.

And actor Nigel says Sue Nicholls, who plays Audrey, has an idea that Lewis could be brought back to the cobbles as his long-lost twin.

Nigel, 74, says: "Sue Nicholls said to me, 'do you know you had a twin brother living in Australia?' I said, 'good gracious who knew?' It would be a riot, wouldn't it? So never say never."

During three stints in Weatherfield, between 2009 and 2019, male escort Lewis wooed Audrey, before fleeing the country with stolen money from the bookies, returned – reuniting with Audrey – then they split and he had a revenge affair with her daughter Gail, fleeing to Belize with her £40,000.

Then he returned as part of a fake psychic scam, but won Audrey's heart again. More shenanigans followed, but he had a heart attack and died on the bedroom floor, holding an engagement ring he'd planned to propose with.

He says: "I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of making that show. The team, the crew, they're just amazing, a really great family."

Bafta-winning Nigel also says he'd love a part in Rivals, the Disney+ comedy drama based on Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles novel series. Nigel says: "I want to be in that – it's fantastic telly."

His third wife, Georgiana Bronfman, whom he married in 2007, would prefer him to enter the Love Island villa. He says: "That's what she watches."

His next meaty role is in four-parter Golden Boys. Inspired by Sweden's largest ever financial crime – the Trustor affair – Golden Boys follows the meteoric rise and dramatic downfall of two cousins, who were behind a financial heist that made headlines across Europe.

In Stockholm in 1997, financial criminal Joachim Posener, newly released from prison, along with his cousin, Thomas Jisander, mounted a hostile corporate takeover of a major Swedish investment company using enigmatic British aristocrat Lord Moyne, also known as Jonathan Guinness, as their frontman.

Lord Moyne, now 96, was declared bankrupt, questioned and prosecuted in Sweden, but eventually acquitted, due to a lack of evidence.

Nigel, who plays Lord Moyne, says: "It's a hell of a role. These criminals wanted someone from the aristocratic part of society to make it look good. So they hired Lord Moyne, part of the Guinness dynasty, to make it look credible. It's a fantastic tale, and the whole story's true." Nigel's reputation as a charmer was sealed when he played Lord Andrew Lindsay in the 1981

Actor Nigel Havers wouldn't rule out a comeback in Corrie but says...

'I'd love a part in Rivals...it's fantastic television'

Tom Latimer in comedy Don't Wait Up, drawing 16 million viewers at its peak. But most fans these days recognise him from a show he appears in but he's never watched.

He says: 'People are coming up to me and saying, 'Oh, you're so funny in Celebrity Gogglebox!' And I go, 'Really?' Because I haven't even seen it. I just sit there with Julian Clary, laughing.'

Looking ahead, Nigel says he never hankers after roles, having learned a harsh lesson when he did. The actor says: 'One of my

favourite books is Fair Stood the Wind for France by HE Bates.

'A few years ago, I suddenly realised the BBC were going to make a TV series of it. I thought, 'That's my part.' I went for the audition and I said, 'Let's not beat about the bush, it's my favourite book, I'm the right age, I'm exactly the right type, you might as well offer it to me.' I didn't get the job. I was mortified. I thought, 'I must never hanker after a job.' Now, I'm always amazed if someone offers me a job. I never go in with any

expectation at all.' Nigel is a grandfather of four, with one daughter from his first marriage.

HE and wife Georgiana are inseparable. He says: 'I do a one-man show and she tours with me. I wouldn't tour without her. She comes on stage a couple of times to help out. But she doesn't speak at all, because I'd have to pay her.' Earlier this

year, the couple became teetotal. Nigel explains: 'I wasn't a big boozer, but at the start of the year I had a chest infection and the taste of alcohol was horrible. I haven't had a drink since.

'Now, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I eat very carefully and I exercise a lot. I'm so boring. I don't miss alcohol at all. My wife has stopped too. Safety in numbers.' Along with his one-man show, Nigel Havers: Talking Bllcks, which he's relaunching in October, he will soon be

doing his 11th panto at the London Palladium.

Nigel says: 'It gets you out of Christmas. This year, we're doing Cinderella and we've got Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders playing the Ugly Sisters – so strap yourself in for a ride.'

Firm friends with the two comedians, he adds: 'They're just so funny and so sweet. I will give Dawn a hard time, though, on stage. She loves it!'

Funds drive raises £700k to keep Trafalgar flag in the UK

A UNION Jack from the Battle of Trafalgar is to stay in UK hands.

It flew on HMS Royal Sovereign, flagship of Vice-Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, second-in-command to Lord Horatio Nelson in 1805.

It had been due to be sold outside Britain but a £700,000 fundraising drive will keep it on public view.

The battle-scarred ensign will go on show in the Discovery Museum in Newcastle - the home city of Collingwood and many of his crew.

Susan Collingwood-Cameron, his

great-great-great-niece, said: "It will be a tribute to them, and the important role they played, in one of our greatest moments."

Only two other flags survive from the battle where the Royal Navy routed combined French and Spanish fleets. This one was kept as a souvenir by a master's mate.

The National Heritage Memorial Fund gave £400,000 to help buy and conserve it - North East Museums are raising the rest.

'It was like they were trying to tear him in half'

Couple traumatised by fatal dogs attack call for new law

BY MOLLY POWELL

A COUPLE whose cat was fatally injured by two dogs that tried to "tear him in half" have called for stricter regulations for owners of violent pets.

Katie Rogers, 24, and Cole Dennick, 23, are focused on preventing a similar attack from happening again by campaigning for Loki's Law.

They said they reported the incident the same day and West Midlands Police are investigating.

Katie said: "More needs to be done in terms of regulation and the owners should face consequences.

"We don't think we'll ever get another pet again, it's just too much to go through."

The couple said their nine-year-old shorthair cat Loki rarely ventured far from home and would spend his days relaxing in their front garden.

Cole said he shared a very special bond with Loki, who never left his side after he nearly died in 2020 from cerebellitis - inflammation of the part of the brain that controls balance and movement.

The couple said Loki was sunbathing a few weeks ago on their front lawn in the West Heath area of Birmingham, when two "large" dogs got in their garden and charged towards him and attacked, one grabbing his throat and the other his legs.

Katie said her father, Mick, 70, managed to force the dogs away, but Loki was left with deep bite wounds to his neck and snapped hind legs. He suffered a seizure before the couple could reach a vet.

They said the vets told them the injuries had caused his heart and lungs to fail and he would likely never walk or move normally again, so they decided to have him put to sleep.

The couple said they have been traumatised by the attack, both seeking private therapy, and with Cole, a delivery driver, signed off work.

Cole said: "I've got PTSD from nearly dying and now from this.

"Loki was one of the only reasons I was able to pull through and recover. I've never known grief like this."

Katie, a law graduate, added: "I don't think we'll ever feel pain like we felt that day.

"We don't ever see a situation in

"Chilled and cheeky" Loki curls up in basket

life feeling as bad as this right now." The couple got Loki when he was around 18 months old and described him as a very "loving, chilled and cheeky" cat.

Cole added: "We used to say he was like a labrador because whenever we walked our dog, he'd follow us around the block."

The couple said Loki was an outdoor cat but spent most of his time in their garden.

Loki was lying in the sunshine on the front lawn as usual on July 25, "watching the world go by", while the family were inside.

The two dogs attacked him at around 3pm.

Cole and Katie said the attack was neighbour's CCTV camera.

They are unsure of the breed of the dogs but said they were "very large".

Cole said: "One grabbed him by the throat and the other had him by his legs. It was like they were trying to tear him in half."

Katie said her father, who they live with, rushed outside after hearing the commotion and managed to get the dogs off Loki by kicking them away.

Their other pets, cat Socks, 15, and dog Caspar, nine, are pining for him.

West Midlands Police said: "We are investigating reports of two dogs dangerously out of control in Aldersmead Road, Birmingham.

"Local enquiries are ongoing as we work to establish the full circumstances.

"Anyone with more information can call 101 using crime number 20/338858/26."

Skye's the limit as McKenna stars with truly pawsome cast

Edited by KATHRYN CRAVEN

We're slap bang in the middle of the kids' summer holidays, and it's probably right around now you're starting to run out of steam... sorry, ideas. Enter Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie for any younger members of your household. Among a voice cast including Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton, who play married couple Dave and Nancy, plus Carter Young as Marshall and Rain Janjua as Chase, Young Sheldon star McKenna Grace, 20, takes a lead role as Skye, the first female member of the Paw Patrol.

She shared her excitement at being involved with the project on YouTube. "What I really hope to give to people with this movie is an experience with friends and family. When I think of going to the movies it's with my dad. And so getting to give somebody else that, I think it's so special. A shared experience."

In the film, the Paw Patrol crash-lands on a dinosaur-populated island and are thrown into a series of rescues. With the help of their new friend Rex, an athletic Bernese Mountain Dog and

'It's a blast to do something less serious and run around and yell'

dino expert, they help save the endangered species from Mayor Humdinger's plan to mine the island for its resources.

McKenna added: "It's so exciting to be voicing such an iconic character and to be a part of an incredible franchise that's a part of so many people's childhoods. It's a blast to do stuff for families and get to do something less serious and run around and yell.

"If it's your first-ever movie, I'd say bring your Paw Patrol merchandise, get ready for a fun adventure with dinosaurs... and what's important when you're going [to the cinema] for the first time is your popcorn."

And from the Paw Patrol to another Dogg, rap star Snoop, 54, had this to say about his appearance as a human character: "It's crazy they had me be a part of this movie and I don't get to play a dog. But I'm Snoop Dogg, so I get to be the best of both worlds."

SHARDSHOOTER

IT RULER FAULT

TO HIT TARGET

FIRED UP Mitchell as Hendricks

SEVEN SNIPERS

CERT 15, SKY CINEMA/NOW ★★

Sandra Sciberras's sharp-shooting action thriller delivers exactly what it says on the dented tin: seven marksmen and women stalking each other around an isolated Australian ranch and trading bullets at impressively long distances, sometimes shrouded in military camouflage.

Scriptwriter Andrew O'Keefe doesn't expend effort fleshing out characters when most are destined for fatal exit wounds in less than 90 minutes of sweat-speckled screen time.

At the centre of the chaos is mother and retired shooter Kris Hendricks (Radha Mitchell), whose call sign was Voodoo Child, a nod to her almost-namesake, Jimi Hendrix. Kris manages a ranch in Queensland and her biggest challenge appears to be weathering a storm of disdain from her 16-year-old daughter Anja (Annabel Wolfe).

An unexpected visitor to the property (Ryan Kwanten) fires warning shots, heralding the impending arrival of The Dragon (Tim Roth), whose personal connection to Kris is easy to deduce. She calls in help from former comrade White Dog (Damien Ryan) and a small team of protectors including Milk (Ioan Gruffudd) and Kaldayev (Bianca Wallace). Once they learn they are facing The Dragon, all manner of nastiness hits the fan.

Seven Snipers is moderately thrilling when director Sciberras stares through a telescopic sight at a staged action sequence but it's apparent that Kris's reinforcements are merely cannon fodder and the simple manner of characters' deaths becomes repetitive. The antagonistic mother-daughter dynamic, enthusiastically played by Mitchell and Wolfe, has an emotional payoff and O'Keefe's script hits that target squarely.

SUPER TROOPERS 3

CERT 15, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★

A second sequel to Jay Chandrasekhar's goofy 2001 comedy chronicling the misadventures and misfortunes of a troupe of hapless Vermont State Troopers is almost as criminally unfunny as its crude and xenophobic predecessor.

Subtitled Farva's Wedding, audiences should say "I don't" in the strongest possible terms to this misfiring caper that fails to channel the anarchic spirit of the Police Academy series.

Farva (Kevin Heffernan) prepares for a lavish Indian wedding to Thorny's sister Sarita (Hannah Simone).

The bride's parents (Iqbal Theba, Sakina Jaffrey) fly in for the occasion but Thorny (Chandrasekhar) is in no mood for celebration. He is determined to break up the lovebirds, exploiting his position of power as Farva's best man to expose the

groom's worst qualities. Fellow troopers Foster (Paul Soter), Mac (Steve Lemme) and Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske) and eager-to-please rookie Coy Burns (Andrew Dismukes) are caught in the crossfire of interdepartmental warfare.

It trades heavily on nostalgia for the original but my good will was exhausted well before the end credits rolled on the lamentable second film. A running joke about Captain Markowski (Nat Faxon) being racist flatlines a good hour before scriptwriters put the gag out of its misery.

Unnecessary physical humour with the groom's elephant at the wedding sparks queasy flashbacks to a protracted set piece in Sacha Baron Cohen's 2016 comedy The Brothers Grimsby. During a quieter moment between the moustachioed menaces, one officer wonders aloud: "Is it possible we're no longer the cool guys in our own story?" Without question.

PAW PATROL: THE DINO MOVIE

CERT 0, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★

No dino is too big, no pup is too small in a supersized feature film extension of the hugely popular PAW Patrol children's TV series, which goes for a fast-paced gallivant in the Jurassic park by uncovering a hidden island populated by prehistoric creatures.

Director Cal Brunker and co-writer Bob Barlen don't waste energy contriving a pseudoscientific explanation for the hulking beasts' existence when a lean 88-minute running time can be devoted to rip-roaring adventure on four and two legs.

Byder (voiced by Henry Bolan) and PAW Patrol recruits Chase (Rain Janjua), Marshall (Carter Young), Rocky (William Desrosiers), Rubble (Lucien Duncan-Reid), Skye (Mckenna Grace) and Zuma (Nylan Parthipan) safely extinguish a fire on a boat and sail their floating HQ into a

gathering storm that causes instruments on the bridge to malfunction.

The ship runs aground on an island filled with wonders long thought extinct, including herds of Brachiosaurus and Spinosaurus and a playful T-res named Timmy who acts as a steed for shipwrecked pup Rex (Hayden Chamberlen). Alas, avaricious Mayor Humdinger (Ron Pardo) mines the island for uncut diamonds and carelessly reactivates a dormant volcano.

PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is the most exciting and entertaining chapter of the tail-wagging saga to date with kinetic action sequences and sweet sentiment as Marshall learns the value of being the pup that never gives up.

Brunker's picture learns from the best - Toy Story 3 - about how to engineer heart-stopping jeopardy in a fiery final sequence. To quote Byder before one daredevil rescue: buckle up pups!

THE SUMMER BOOK

CERT PG, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★

Opening with the striking image of jagged fragments of ice floating side by side in a coastal rock pool, The Summer Book thaws out reconciliation and healing in the aftermath of grief during an idyllic getaway in the Gulf of Finland.

Eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close lends her undimmable star power to director Charlie McDowell's gently paced adaptation of Tove Jansson's autobiographical novel, complemented by stunning images of Mother Nature in full bloom and fury courtesy of Norwegian cinematographer Sturla Brandth Grovlen.

Nine-year-old Sophia (Emily Matthews) reclines off the side of a boat as she travels to her family's rustic cabin on an unspoiled and

remote island with her illustrator father (Anders Danielsen Lie) and grandmother (Close), whose coughs and splutters suggest this may be the final summer they all spend together.

The angelic tyke surveys her seaweed-strewn kingdom from the rocks as her father removes wooden shutters that cocoon the cabin and stumbles upon a ribboned sunhat belonging to his late wife.

"I'll find somewhere," tenderly assures the grandmother, removing the headwear from sight.

The intergenerational clan's first visit since death encroached on Sophia's childhood is soaked in painful reminiscence.

"He doesn't love me any more since she died," mournfully professes the girl to her grandmother, hidden beneath a blanket. The

worldly-wise matriarch assures her granddaughter that she is wrong and later, the grey-haired protector urges the father to try harder to ensure he doesn't lose his daughter as well in this time of darkness and regret.

"I won't be here forever," she reminds him with a greater sense of urgency than ever before as the summer solstice approaches and neighbour Eriksson (Ingvar Sigurdsson) delivers a box of fireworks that need to dry out in time for the summer solstice.

Drawing inspiration from the life of author Jansson, best known for writing and illustrating The Moomins, The Summer Book is a pleasantly old-fashioned study of a universal rite of passage that leaves indelible scars at any age.

Close's perpetually cheery grandmother acts as a mediator in Robert Jones's script, sharing

her love of nature with Sophia as moss springs deliciously underfoot or shoals of little fish skitter beneath the surface of sun-lit water.

Close's heartfelt performance dominates and she catalyses a lovely rapport with acting debutante Matthews in their tender and poignant exchanges.

Danielsen Lie's widower lingers in the background until clearly telegraphed dramatic necessity forces him to step up.

A tinkling piano-led orchestral score by composer Hania Rani occasionally intrudes where ambient noise might feel more organic and impactful but McDowell's picture generally adopts a "less is more" approach to the characters' self-reflection.

Like the frozen fractal mosaic at the beginning of the film, precious time spent with the people we love melts away too quickly.

NIMRODS: A GREEN DAY COMEDY

CERT 15, IN CINEMAS FROM TUESDAY ★★★

Prefaced by a lighthearted introduction from Green Day lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, Nimrods is "a film about having big dreams and following your heart" inspired by the rock outfit's early days.

Writer-director Lee Kirk's freewheeling road trip nods playfully to coming-of-age comedies including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, soundtracked by more than 20 songs from the band's back catalogue including When I Come Around and Basket Case. Tommy (Mason Thames) cannot

contain his excitement when he receives a phone call from Green Day drummer Tré Cool inviting the teenager's band, Analog Dogs, to open a New Year's Eve concert in LA.

The life-changing opportunity is a prank devised by Tommy's older brother, Wayne (Keen Ruffalo), and the younger sibling falls for the preposterous ruse.

Tommy steals Wayne's car – a yellow taxi – to drive bandmates Chad (Ryan Foust) and Fred (Kylr Coffman) from Kansas City to the gig.

En route, the trio perform a cover version of Dominated Love Slave in a battle of the bands competition at a

rowdy country and western roadside bar and Tommy enjoys a meet-cute with free-spirited songbird Olivia (Mckenna Grace).

Taking its title from the band's 1997 album, Nimrods is an effervescent celebration of carefree and chaotic youth which crescendos, predictably, with a live concert performance.

"We're teenagers, we have nothing but choices!" urges Tommy during an early scene.

Thames doesn't have to strum hard to tether our affections to his likable hero and Kirk's script hits the right notes to solidify brotherly bonds on and off the road.

AUTHOR OF THE WEEK

Frank Gardner

The BBC journalist talks about his wildlife adventures and his fifth Luke Carlton novel

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner has, until recently, been living out of hotels and staying with friends after the lift to his top-floor apartment broke. "It is frustrating being wheelchair-based. I don't like the expression 'wheelchair-bound' because I ski, scuba-dive and drive, so I'm not wheelchair-bound."

"But there are so many things that I can't do because of the wheelchair."

Now the lifts are working again, he's back in his London flat, which offers a view of the Thames, but says he's going to have to move out for practical reasons.

The award-winning journalist, a Middle East expert who continues to report on domestic and international security, defence and terrorism, was part paralysed in 2004 when he and his cameraman, Simon Cumbers, were ambushed by al-Qaeda terrorists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Cumbers was killed, with Frank shot six times and left for dead.

After 14 operations, he returned to active news reporting within a year, but today says that he still endures horrific pain from the spinal injuries he suffered, leaving him paralysed from the knees down and with a stoma bag.

"I have pain in my left leg. It's a kind of sciatic pain from my injuries and no drugs, surgery, nothing has worked."

"Sometimes it feels like someone is taking a mallet to the inside of my knee."

'I'd throw it all away in an instant, not to have been shot'

Looking back at the day that changed his life, Frank recalls how he and Simon had joined two Saudi government minders who wanted to show the BBC team around the area but unwittingly took them to a really dangerous location, with no armed escort.

Six of al-Qaeda's core members were driving past when they saw Frank and Simon doing a piece to camera – and the shooting began. Later, police turned up and took Frank to hospital.

Frank, 65, who has lived in Egypt, Bahrain and explored many parts of

Saudi Arabia, continues with his BBC job, but has also found time to write a series of page-turning topical thrillers involving MI6 operative Luke Carlton.

His fifth, Ballistic, finds one of Russia's most advanced nuclear submarines beneath Arctic waters carrying something that could change the

world forever. The plot involves Carlton helping a Russian spy who knows about the submarine to get across the border into Finland, teaming up with a tough female Finnish special forces officer.

Frank manages to weave in a huge amount of background fact into his fictional page-turner. "With all my novels, I try to anchor them in reality," he says.

"I find the milieu in which I do my day job as security correspondent endlessly fascinating and I meet very interesting people who, in some cases, are privy to all

sorts of information that they're never going to share with me. But you have a feel for what their lives must be like operating in the shadows, whether they are special forces or spooks or counter-terrorism police or whatever."

He uses his vast knowledge to keep his settings authentic and spoke to retired officers with extensive naval experience.

Carlton is not 007, but the world in which he surrounds himself has a touch of that. "Carlton is quite an intelligent guy," he says. Is Frank living through him vicariously? "A little bit," he says smiling. "I don't pretend that I am him because for a

NOT GOING BALLISTIC Frank says his creation is not an 007 type

start he's not in a wheelchair and secondly, more importantly, I was never in Special Forces and he spent 12 years in the Royal Marines."

Frank, who divorced his wife Amanda in 2019 after 22 years and is now in another relationship, won't discuss his private life – although he stresses that the divorce was

amicable. He acknowledges that his job affected family life, being sent at no notice across the globe, never knowing how long he'd be away.

"Being a foreign correspondent is quite a self-absorbing job. You need a very understanding and patient partner. Often some of the best relationships work when both people are in foreign news because they know what to expect."

"After two years in Cairo, my wife at the time said, 'We've had enough.' Our girls were very small and were often sick. The food wasn't good and the air's polluted."

He does have regrets, especially taking that fateful trip in Riyadh. "People say, 'Yes, but think of what you've done since.' I'd throw it all away in an instant, not to have been shot. Most importantly, Simon Cumbers, my cameraman, was murdered. That robs his family of a life."

He's realistic in his vision of a long-term prognosis for his injuries. "I like to joke that I think they will find a cure for my level of spinal cord injury when I reach about 90. So I might have a couple of weeks of walking, I'll be the fittest 90-year-old you've ever seen."

Away from work, Frank has taken up nature photography, venturing to India to see tigers, kayaking in Antarctica to look at humpback whales – and would love to see polar bears and walruses in the Svalbard and Jaguars in Brazil.

Might be more from security correspondent to wildlife film-maker? "Sir David Attenborough is irreplaceable," he states, "but if somebody was to offer me a similar role, I'd be tempted."

Ballistic by Frank Gardner is published by Bantam, priced £20. Available now.

FOUR NEW BOOKS TO READ THIS WEEK

With MATT NIXSON and DAVID PHILLIPS

CITY OF TRAITORS BY ALLE GERLIS, HARDBACK, £18.99 Set over half a dozen countries with a sprawling cast of characters both fictional and real, City of Traitors brilliantly captures the geopolitical jostling over

control of Europe that accompanied the latter stages of the Second World War.

Gerlis is the maestro of multiple story strands expertly woven together into a thrilling, satisfying read.

At its heart is "Archie", a British Soviet agent feeding information to the UK and Russia but doubting who his real masters are.

Seven men are suspected of being the traitor, but waiting for the spy to reveal themselves by making a mistake has borne no fruit.

Now as the Red Army approaches Germany from the East and the Allies from the West, the stage is set for a dramatic showdown amid the rubble of Berlin. Pulse-raisingly brilliant. 9/10

THE KILLERS' MARK BY N M CRAVEN, HARDBACK, £22 Having left the National Crime Agency, Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw have gone freelance – "gumshoes for hire" reads the sign on their Carlisle office door. But

clients have proved hard to come by, not least because of Poe's idiosyncratic manner.

So when foul-mouthed 15-year-old Esmerie Blue turns up looking for her missing mother, presumed dead but now identified in a porn film by a tattoo on the sole of her foot, they take the case.

Five years earlier a horrifying secret hidden within a tamper-proof safe unleashed a huge investigation and Poe and Tilly – the most unconventionally entertaining duo in crime writing – are unwittingly sucked into the fallout.

Murder, mayhem and Triads ensue in the eighth and best novel in the million-selling series. Craven's trademark mix of dark humour and drama is so addictive it should come with a health warning. 9/10

THE BRITISH AGENT BY SIMON CONWAY, HARDBACK, £16.99 Dispatched to Ukraine to investigate the end destination of sophisticated British weapons sent to the embattled country and feared trafficked to third parties,

MI6 operative Agent Chuff is ambushed and three lethal Starstreak man-portable-air-defence-system missiles are stolen.

She must track them down before they can be used to commit an atrocity in the US – sending her undercover on a mission that takes in conspiracy theorists, insurrectionists and Washington spymasters. And Chuff must outwit them all to survive.

So kicks off this extraordinarily believable, globe-spanning thriller from former Army officer, weapons experts and aid worker Simon Conway.

If thrillers are your thing, The British Agent is perfect summer reading. The pace never lets up and this is weapons grade brilliance packed between two covers that threatens to explode at any moment. 8/10

THE DERELICTS: THE HEART AND ART OF VETERANS' RUGBY BY PAUL MOSLEY, PAPERBACK, £10.99 Debut author Paul Mosley's achingly funny and compelling book is a paean not just to veterans' rugby but to all team sports. It will

resonate with anyone who has played – or knows anyone who has played – amateur sport when clearly past their self-by-date.

The narrative arc is the Derelicts stumbling progress through a season of muddy mismatches, but the glory is in the detail – the cast of characters and Mosley's relatable descriptions of them, such as "half-man, half-Guinness". True comrade banter, and delivered with a rich turn of phrase and a facility with language and metaphor that belies the author's own career as a lumbering prop forward.

All aspects are touched upon, from the nightmare of losing your players to a senior side just before kickoff to the pre-match application of oils to preserve aged bodies. Highly recommended. 8/10

With KAY HARRISON

HISTORY'S GREATEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Elizabeth II was a shape-shifting lizard and Elvis lives somewhere on our flat planet. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, right?

Some have stuck around for centuries, so there's plenty of material for season three of History's Greatest Conspiracy Theories, which tackles six of the most persistent, with a jolly cast of experts to separate fact from utter idiocy.

First up, also playing into our love of a royal scandal: was an heir to the throne a serial killer?

Chirpy host Rob Altar quizzes crime historian Dr Drew Gray, author of Dark London, over the suggestion Queen Victoria's partying grandson was Jack the Ripper, behind the murders of at least five women in 1888.

"There's no smoking gun or dripping knife, so it does allow for a lot of speculation," Dr Gray admits. Some people even reckon the Ripper was a she, a time traveller testing out surgical tools, or Lewis Carroll, confessing to readers using anagrams hidden inside his books.

But TV and films are unquestionably guilty of popularising the idea Prince Albert "Eddy" Victor – second in line to the throne – was behind it all, with From Hell, starring Johnny Depp, and Michael Caine's

ROYAL SERIAL KILLER BELIEVE IT... OR NOT

Ripper series getting under our skin. There's even a new movie incoming, Black Palace, centred around the royal cover-up story. Sadly for believers, the Prince does seem to have an alibi more cast iron than Pizza Express. Expect great insight – the show is produced by History Extra, home of those "History's Greatest" podcasts (Leaders, Cities, Battles, Scandals, Dishes).

Other theories put to the test include Jesus Christ having secret children

with Mary Magdalene, whose descendants live among us (thank you, Dan Brown), an alien spacecraft crash-landing in Siberia in 1908, causing the mysterious explosion known as the Tunguska Event, and, my favourite, the belief Paul McCartney died in a car crash in the 1960s and was replaced by a lookalike. Steven Cockcroft, co-host of Beatles podcast Nothing is Real, has one or two things to say on that subject.

It's also a curious gaze into our own brains, and why we enjoy, and can get a little obsessed with, such wild old theories.

GANGSTER: THE STORY OF THE MILKMAN

Big-time crime and its bigger characters are an undying source of fascination – and pod fodder. BBC 5 Live's Gangster series does a thorough job delving into our criminal underworld, having already covered Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs and "Black Widow" Linda Calvey. Britain's biggest cocaine trafficker, Brian Brendan Wright, gets the treatment this time, with a story that is both enthralling and galling. Called "the Milkman" because he always delivered, he built a respectable life

within racing circles, and was a fugitive for more than a decade. Livy Haydock is back to speak to cartel insiders, tracing how mind-scrambling amounts of cocaine came from Colombia to our coast. And the series doesn't shy from grim realities, hearing from the sister of late Radio 4 presenter Bill Frost, who spiralled into addiction.

BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS

With two months to go until the awards every podcaster wants, the Listeners' Choice top 20 shortlist has been announced, where you have the power. And we'll see if Ant and Dec resume their habit of winning all the things, with Hanging Out in the running.

The list is groaning with celeb pairings, including Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball for Dig It, Strictly couple Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Márquez for Lost In Translation and Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey for No Appointment Necessary. Other

contenders include Yoto Daily (which gets the vote from run-ragged parents), Dish from Waitrose, Olivia's House, Table Manners, Twinhood, Hard Launch with Dan and Phil and last year's winners, Betwixt The Sheets. View the full list and vote via Spotify's app until August 28, with the ceremony at Indigo at London's O2 in October.

HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GROUNDBREAKER GREENY

Save 10%

Arrives potted

Now £17.99 was £20.00

Bring lasting colour to your garden with Hydrangea 'Groundbreaker Greeny', an innovative spreading variety that offers a completely different take on traditional hydrangeas. Producing masses of pale lime-green flower heads from July through November, it forms a dense, low-growing display that's ideal for filling borders, softening edges, or brightening large containers.

Growing to just 30 - 40cm tall while spreading up to 80cm wide, it creates excellent ground cover without overwhelming surrounding plants. Unlike many hydrangeas, it also performs well in sunnier, drier positions, making it a versatile choice for modern gardens. Exceptionally hardy and easy to grow, 'Groundbreaker Greeny' rewards very little

maintenance with months of distinctive colour and impressive flower coverage.

• Plant type: Shrub
• Flowering period: July - Nov
• Position: Full sun / part sun / part shade
• Height / Spread in maturity: 30cm/60cm
• Temperatures: Hardy down to -20°C
• Good for: Borders, pots, containers, ground cover, pollinators, low-maintenance gardens, rockeries, mass planting

SURGERY SECRETS OF THE SUPER RICH, CHANNEL 4 8PM

EFL CUP LIVE, ITYL, 7:30PM

YES, football is back. Proper football, not like the World Cup, with all that horrid commercialisation. First up, hosted by Mark Pougatich, above, we have Middlesbrough v Wrexham in round one of the EFL Cup. Also known as the Carabao Cup.

Which was previously the Capital One Cup, known before that as the Carling Cup, known before that as the Worthington Cup, known before that as the Coca-Cola Cup, known before that as the Rumbelows Cup, known before that as the Littlewoods Challenge Cup, known before that as the Milk Cup, and known before that as (how ridiculous is this one?) the Football League Cup.

CORSICA: JEWEL OF THE MEDITERRANEAN 5, 8PM

ONE of the people we meet in this lovely programme (you know it's going to be lovely because it's narrated by Joanna Lumley) is Hubert Boursie, a Paris-born art restorer who's working on repairs to a monument to Napoleon Bonaparte, Corsica's most famous son.

Listening to Hubert explain his craft is fascinating. It's also handy if you want to brush up your French.

For example, I now know the French for: "I'm going to remove this layer with a very fine sandblasting."

Bound to come in handy on my hols.

SMOOTH TALKING

Nabeel pays £1,000 each month for treatments

HIGH PRICE OF PAYING LIP SERVICE

UT for drinks with a couple of mates, bride-to-be Hannah can hardly stop smiling. "Do you notice anything different?" she asks them. And which of these replies do you suppose they give her?

1) Nope. You look the same as normal. 2) Yes, you've brought a Channel 4 film crew with you. 3) Is it lips or something?

The answer, as you'll see if you watch Surgery Secrets' latest episode, is three. Which isn't great, because it's wrong, but at least it's better than answers one and two.

Hannah has actually had a liquid nose job ("Oh, my God! I see it! It looks really good! So subtle!").

That, plus a facial thread lift. And she's very

pleased with the results. She considers it £2,250 well spent.

In Cheshire, 51-year-old property investor Nabeel feels the same about the £1,000 he forks out each month on facials, massages, lasers and advanced radio-frequency micro-needling, paired with chicken-derived exosomes (which, before you ask, are "microscopic messengers" that repair DNA and stimulate collagen).

And would you like to know why he spends that much?

"If I go into a meeting, with my bank manager or a very powerful person, a billionaire," he tells us, "I want to show him I've got self-discipline." Fair enough.

"You look after yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and

aesthetically, it shows you've got self-control. You love yourself and you take care of yourself, and that's what you'll do with the investor's money."

The most surprising case study of the episode is that of Zara, 35, an award-winning dental hygienist who's unhappy with her own smile. She thinks it's too gummy.

It's surprising for two reasons. The first is the procedure she's having, gum contouring, reveals she has taller teeth than she ever knew. The surplus gum has been covering this up. It won't be doing that much longer.

And the second thing I'm surprised about? I had no idea that being a dental hygienist can actually win you awards. I must tell my own hygienist next time I see her.

"Ig hoo ho hoo han rin a roars?" I'll say.

TODAY: Friday August 7, 2026

ON THIS DAY

There's no justice if PC's scumbag killers walk free

HAVING read about the early release of prisoners, I am extremely concerned about the likelihood that PC Andrew Harper's killers may be among them.

What I find unbelievable is the comment from Justice Secretary Alex Norris that it is "a decision we've had to take to make sure we have a functioning prison system".

What on earth kind of "functioning" involves releasing a police officer's killers?

Justice in this country no longer seems to exist. God help my grandchildren.

Nigel Partridge, Bristol

Report every last foreign criminal when convicted

WE ARE reading reports of prisoners being released early due to overcrowding. Indeed, two of the killers of PC Andrew Harper are also included in the early release.

The answer to the problem is quite simple: instead of jailing foreign criminals before deporting them, just deport them immediately upon conviction.

If they have family in this country, deport them as well, which then gets around the ECHR rulings.

Peter Adams, Bradley Stoke, Glos

Why on earth did we blow billions on pointless HS2?

SUCCESSIVE governments have underinvested in both prisons and reservoirs, which is why we now face shortages of cells and water.

Instead, billions have been wasted on unnecessary vanity projects such as HS2 and on the fully of paying France to stop migrant boat crossings. Not to mention the farce of so-called "smart" motorways.

Will our politicians ever learn to prioritise what really matters?

David Bass and Priscilla Walker, Faverham, Kent

Death sentence for worst crimes to free jail space

I HAVE a suggestion for Andy Burnham. Instead of releasing prisoners, why not deport all foreign prisoners back to their country of origin?

Secondly, why not bring back capital punishment for the most heinous crimes?

As PM he would secure a huge amount of backing for this.

This in turn would bring down the prison population, leaving spare capacity for more offenders.

Kenneth Burton, Nottingham

Overseas offenders play this country like a fiddle

THERE is a solution to the overcapacity crisis in our prisons. Deport all foreign prisoners being considered for early release, deport all criminals in prison claiming asylum and deport those criminals who arrived illegally.

All of the above make no positive contribution to our society. They do us harm, cost us money and waste

LETTER OF THE DAY

Albert Bowers, one of PC Harper's killers due for release

Early release an insult to brave heroes

ATTACKS on emergency workers are not new: it has steadily increased and the last government vowed to tighten laws that make prison the likely option ("Early release is a 'betrayal' of hero police officer", August 6).

Laws, of course, are a knee-jerk reaction to public concern that are rarely effective or enforced and gather dust on the statute book.

Those that reach the courts often end in a non-punishment like a Criminal Behaviour Order. So it is no surprise two of PC Andrew Harper's killers are eligible for early release.

Yes there are a lot of crocodile tears from the government, but Andy Burnham's fatal flaw is ignoring public opinion like those PMs who are now history.

Mike Crump, Bridgnorth, Salop

the time of our civil servants. Let it be known that not another foreign criminal can play the system.

Brett Trafford, Vyne Park, Hants

France - do what we pay you for and stop whining

WHAT a cheek ("France angry at Reform plans to dump migrants back on French beaches", August 4). Are they not capable of working out that if they prevented these people from leaving their shores in the first place - which we pay them millions to do - this problem would go away on both sides of the English Channel?

Not only would we be happy, but the unfortunate French residents who live along the coastal areas where these illegals make their camps would also be very pleased.

Message to the French: just do what we've been paying you to do for years and make us all happy.

Patricia East, Guildford, Surrey

Stop Macron's money and send all illegals back today

NOBODY wants people dying in the Channel but the time has come to put a blockade in place. France has no interest, so why should we continue to put up with volatile

illegal migrants literally forcing their way into the UK?

The government has to act, suspend all further payments to France and tell Emmanuel Macron we will be bringing any boats loaded with illegals back to France.

As the former director general of the UK's Border Force said, there is no law that would stop us. If we don't act now, we are setting ourselves up as a sitting duck. In fact, we should round up all the illegal boat migrants currently in the UK and send them back as well.

Peter Rushton, Chorley, Lancs

Spain has right idea with invaders, give them zilch

CAN we learn a lesson after the Ceuta and Morocco influx? I gather those arriving were not given food, drink, money or shelter, so the majority went back to Morocco.

Perhaps we should do the same and stop making them so comfortable here.

Jan Chapman, Preston

UK is 'drowning' thanks to clueless Labour and Tories

THE invasion of illegals, plus all the foreign nationals already prosecuted and populating our

prisons, requires a positive long-term strategy for the future.

Just like housing, prison demand increasing at the present rate is unsustainable - the UK is "drowning". We need a political party with the willpower to fix this situation. Regrettably, the "establishment" parties have failed.

Gerald Norden, Sandbach, Cheshire

Tice and Reform victims of double standards probe

DOUBLE standards is a term that has entered into every aspect of modern politics, and here is another example.

Richard Tice, the deputy leader of Reform UK, has been placed under investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog ("Parliament probes Tice over Israel", August 4).

The commissioner has not given the exact reasons why, which is highly suspicious. Mr Tice took a stand against antisemitism, yet we have an inexplicable response.

The Green Party is demonstrably anti-Israel, but is left alone.

Here we appear to be in the dimension of double standards probing. It is Parliament overall which needs to be investigated for inconsistency.

David Fleming, Downham Market, Norfolk

SOCIALISTS IN POWER FOR TWO YEARS - STOP THE BLAME GAME

EVERY time this current government has a problem, a crisis or doesn't know how to cope, it is keen to say that it "inherited it from the previous government" ("Labour's Next trick is all smoke and mirrors", August 6). In fact, Labour chose to take on the problems having spent 14 years

complaining about them before being elected. Having chosen to lead, it is beholden on them to sort it out. No doubt Labour will also do whatever it can to appropriate my inheritance to my family without a conscience. Don Crombie, Ashby de la Zouch, Leics

81 years ago (1945) We reported that the US had dropped the world's first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The weapon's destructive force was equal to 20,000 tons of high explosives. An estimated 80,000 people died in the blast and firestorm that followed, with thousands more later dying of radiation exposure. The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain the only use of nuclear weapons in war.

39 years ago (1987) Lynne Cox became the first person to swim from the United States to the Soviet Union, crossing the Bering Strait from Little Diomede Island, Alaska to Big Diomede in Russia in two hours and six minutes. The American open water swimmer's feat helped to ease Cold War tensions between US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

54 years ago (1972) Ugandan dictator Idi Amin gave 60,000 Asian citizens 90 days to leave the country, leaving behind heir homes and businesses in the ex-British colony.

Around 30,000 Asian Ugandans fled to Britain, many having been expelled without any compensation.

NUTWOOD TALES

RUPERT AND THE ANGRY SEA No.10

"Stay there!" calls Sam and hurries to Do what he can to help the crew.

"Stay there!" Sam shouts to Rupert, as he and Jem race to where the boat is about to be washed ashore with its crew drenched and gasping. Almost as if it's satisfied with having hurled back the boat, the sea grows calm once more. A voice behind Rupert says, "Makes me glad I can give up fishing." It's Jonly Jinks. "How can you do that?" asks Rupert. "Surely it's your living?" Tapping his nose mysteriously. Jinks winks at him and says, "Coming into money, I am. Lots of money!"

"No more of that for me!" says Finks. "I'll soon be rich!" he laughs, then winks.

Admiral's profits weighed down by slide in car cover

INSURANCE giant Admiral suffered a drop in profit as the company was weighed down by lower earned premiums in its UK car business.

The group's profit before tax plummeted by 18% to £429.2million in the first half of the year, while turnover remained flat at £3.11billion.

CEO Milena Mondini said the market had been very soft at the end of 2024 and 2025, so the insurer had increased prices at the beginning of the year to match claims inflation.

She added that this strategy is expected to pay off in the second half of the year.

In its motor division, Admiral reported a 27% increase for its electric vehicle (EV) insurance book.

There was also increased demand for its free subscription service, which is designed to help with the costs of EV ownership.

Mondini said that Admiral has been "very competitive for EVs" from a very early stage as the vehicles are "a great feature for the planet".

Despite headwinds in its UK motor group, the group's European business swung to a profit of £17.2m, after record-

BY MARIA WARD-BRENNAN

ing a £0.6m loss last year. Mondini said that she was "particularly proud" of France, which was running at a "very strong margin" and experiencing double-digit growth.

Customer numbers there grew by 5%, surpassing 12 million for the first time.

Admiral shares rose 4.4% in early trading yesterday. It means the stock is currently up by more than a fifth since the start of the year.

Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "The headline profit decline only tells half the story. Yes, Admiral is feeling the impact of last year's softer motor pricing, but under the hood, it's navigating the turn in the cycle well.

"There are also encouraging signs that Admiral is becoming more than a UK motor story.

"Household, Europe and Admiral Money are all moving in the right direction. Near-term earnings may remain a little uneven, but the route back to growth is becoming clearer, and the building blocks for a stronger 2027 are falling into place."

WIZZ AIR HIT BY WAR IN MIDDLE EAST

Conflict in Iran increased cost pressures for budget airline Wizz

SOARING jet fuel prices from the Middle East conflict led to a sharp drop in Wizz Air's profit.

The budget airline suffered a €198.2million (£170m) net loss for the first quarter, compared with a net profit of €38.4m during the same period last year.

Total revenue for the FTSE 250 group inched up 5.5% to €1.5billion, as passenger numbers increased by 25.1% to more than 21 million.

But revenue per available seat

kilometre decreased by 8.1% as weaker fares squeezed profits.

Gerry White, at Raymond James, said: "Wizz Air's first-quarter results were disappointing. Despite strong growth in passenger numbers and revenue...higher fuel costs and weaker fares squeezed yields, highlighting how cost pressures continue to offset the benefits of capacity growth."

Shares dropped 4.9% to 1,089.9p per share.

Boost for wealth manager

Quilter's assets up by a quarter as revenue rises

WEALTH management firm Quilter has posted record net inflows.

Total assets under administration and management jumped 25% to £157.4billion in the first half of the year. The hike was driven by a 32% increase in core net inflows to £6bn, up from £4.5bn the prior year, after an

uptick in customer activity in both its customer channels.

Revenue inched up 5% to £379m, after higher management fee revenue was partially offset by lower investment revenue generated on shareholder funds. Profit before tax reached £112m. The company increased its interim

dividend to 2.1p per share and completed £68.4m of its £100m share buyback programme. Steven Levin, chief executive officer, said: "Our strategy allows us to deliver wealth solutions to UK households. These outcomes are built around the personal nature of advisee-client relationships."

Peel Group leads hunt for Harworth

BILLIONAIRE-owned Peel Group has tabled a £58.3million offer for Harworth as the property developer is poised to become the latest firm to exit the London Stock Exchange.

The 172.5p-per-share deal represents a premium of 20.1% compared with Harworth's closing share price on Wednesday and a 36.9% premium above the average share price over the past month.

Peel Group - which already owns around 30% of Harworth shares - is itself majority-owned by Manchester billionaire John Whittaker.

Whittaker made his fortune from the sale of the city's Trafford shopping centre in 2011 for £1.6bn - Britain's largest-ever property sale.

Harworth has seen its shares jump more than 10% this week after it revealed plans to develop a new hyperscale data centre.

SAF SAF FOR THE

GET ALL THE BREAKING SPORTS NEWS ONLINE express.co.uk/sport

By David Yates

SAFFIE OSBORNE yesterday said her 2026 successes have proved she is on a qualifying towards challenging for the jockeys' championship in the future.

The 24-year-old will captain a Britain & Ireland team of Ryan Moore and Dylan Brown McMonagle, both former or present champions, at tomorrow's Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup at Ascot.

Osborne, right, has climbed to seventh in the jockeys' standings with 40 wins this season, while her prize-money earnings exceed her 2024 best, thanks to high-profile victories in the Weatherbys Super Sprint and Moet & Chandra International.

"Anyone that starts off in this job, not wanting to be champion, jockey, shouldn't be doing it because it's so tough and presiting that if you're not aiming to be at the top, then I don't know why you're really doing it, to be honest," she said.

"In 2024 I rode a large number of winners, but I lacked riding

top quality horse, which is starting to come now.

"Then last year I was just plagued with problems. I got injured twice and I had to cut my season short just as it started to get going again.

"It just felt like nothing was kind of clicking into the right place and then in the back of your mind you're hoping you haven't plateaued or reached the level of where you're going to be. I think this year has proved that's not the case."

Osborne has ridden 21 winners at Ascot, including two on her only previous Shergar Cup appearance and a treble on King George day.

ASFORDA has been given the green light to defend her title in the Coolmore City Of Troy Nanthorpe Stakes at York.

Henry Dwyer's Australian sprinter has won three Group Ones on European soil over the past couple of seasons.

But the eight-year-old failed to re-use up to her best on her first four starts of this season and, after finishing last in the Coral Charge at Sandrock in early July, retirement

was discussed. However, having finished fourth in the King George Stakes at Goodwood last week, broodmore district have been delayed until after the clear festival in a fortnight's time.

Amy Murphy and her husband Lemes de Souza have started a big part in Asbora's, left,

European adventure and she is currently based at the latter's stable in November.

“She’s going to run in the Nanthorpe. She is in super form,” Murphy said.

DRIST CRICKET: TEST SQUAD

53

BAT IN BUSINESS Lawrence is back with England after five centuries for Surrey

Lawrence ready for his first Test in two years at Headingley

BY DAVID CHARLESWORTH DAN LAWRENCE is earmarked to play in England's first Test of the post-Ben Stokes era with Jordan Cox batting at No.3 because Jacob Bethell is out of the whole Pakistan series.

Former vice-captain Ollie Pope returns as batting and wicketkeeping cover, while seamers Brydon Carse and Sam Cook have also been recalled in a 16-strong squad for the first two Tests at Headingley and Lord's this month.

National selector Marcus North revealed Sam Curran was under strong consideration to succeed the recently-retired Stokes but an ongoing niggle means England have decided to reinforce their batting.

The last of Lawrence's 14 Test appearances was in September 2024 as a makeshift opener, but he will be carded

at six after impressing for Surrey this year with five County Championship hundreds.

While premier spinner Shoaib Bashir has been retained, Lawrence's part-time off-breaks mean new captain Joe Root is likely to field four frontline pacemen in the series opener at Leeds, starting on August 19.

"It would be very easy to get hung up on the fact we've lost Ben," North (right) said.

"But it's not just picking an all-rounder for an all-rounder's sake. If we are going to pick a like-for-like player, they need to be at the level and skillset to be successful at Test level.

"Sam is certainly someone we identify as that player. We don't feel physically he's quite right there. He's someone that we really value highly

and we see playing a role in the future for us as an all-rounder.

"We've gone with Lawrence as we feel he gives us our strongest batting line-up. We feel he's an advanced, better player than he was when he last played for England."

Bethell injured his right knee during England's one-day international series win over India, ruling him out of The Hundred, and no timescale was provided for his comeback.

That has opened the door for Cox, who made his long-awaited debut at seven during England's 2-1 series loss to New Zealand in June. He bats at four for Essex and has experience of opening with former county Kent.

"We wouldn't be putting this guy at three if we didn't feel he was capable,"

North said. "He's got plenty of character about him, he's a huge competitor and quietly confident."

New head coach Stephen Fleming has had some input into the squad but does not take charge until this winter, with Marcus Trescothick overseeing the Pakistan series on an interim basis.

"We've got to make sure our selection and our philosophy is aligned with Stephen," North said.

"It would make no sense for us to move forward through this series and be contradictory to where Stephen sees us as a team moving forward.

"He was very much a part of all the meetings and discussions."

ENGLAND SQUAD FOR FIRST TWO TESTS AGAINST PAKISTAN J Root (captain), J Archer, G Atkinson, S Bashir, H Brook, B Carse, S Cook, J Cox, B Duckett, M Fisher, E Gay, D Lawrence, O Pope, G Robinson, J Smith, J Tongue.

It's all over for Turner

ENGLAND and Hampshire fast bowler John Turner has announced his immediate retirement from all forms of cricket aged 25.

South Africa-born Turner (below) played two T20s and two ODIs during England's tour of the West Indies in 2024, but has been out for over a year with a stress fracture in his back.

He took 97 wickets in 53 matches for Hampshire in all formats since his debut in 2021, and said: "It was always my dream to play professional and international cricket, and doing so for Hampshire and England has been nothing short of living out those same childhood dreams.

"I have, however, decided to retire from the game, and this has been one of the hardest decisions I've had to make.

"The stress fracture... as well as my injury record, naturally made me think of my future."

Wakefield v Leeds Tonight, 8pm

BY DANIEL TOMLINSON

SUPER LEAGUE'S status quo was broken by Hull KR last year, who became just the fifth different team to win the competition since its inception in 1996.

Now Wakefield Trinity are looking to follow suit.

The West Yorkshire outfit were only promoted back to the top flight ahead of 2025 but are right in the mix and host league leaders Leeds Rhinos tonight in a top-of-the-table clash.

Wakefield's surge to become one of the league's genuine powers is no surprise, at least to Rhinos boss Brad Arthur, who is anticipating a 'tight and tense' clash against the fellow West Yorkshire high flyers. "They had a really good season last year and they showed a lot of potential," Arthur said.

"Obviously, they were disappointed in how they played in their play-off match last year, but they learned a lot from that in their first year back.

"They've been one of the form teams. They're going well. They're backing it up week to week. They start well and they also finish the game strong. They move the ball around and score plenty of points and show plenty of grit and toughness."

Leeds have put themselves in prime position for the league leaders' shield this year and a home semi-final, but Arthur is taking nothing for granted. "There are a lot of things still to happen," he said. "We still have six rounds to go and you can see how tight it is at the top of the competition.

"We'll be disappointed if we don't give ourselves every opportunity to be in the top two. We've worked hard to get here, but we're under no illusion it's going to be even harder to stay here and that's our focus.

"Nothing's going to be easy. But we don't want anything easy."

HOW THEY

Hurdler Jake hopes local knowledge will put him on inside track to glory

commonwealth games

commonwealth games GLASGOW

BY JOSEPH SAUNDERS RISING star Jake Minshull is out to show there is no place like home at the European Athletics Championships being held in Birmingham next week.

The 21-year-old 400m hurdler is currently studying for a human sciences degree in the second city and hails from nearby Coventry.

He trains on the Alexander Stadium track three times a week, providing him with local knowledge that he hopes to use to his full advantage when it comes to taking on the best that the Continent has to offer.

He said: "It pretty much feels like a home event, and it feels like I know the place pretty well.

"I know what the weather is going to be like there. I'm ready for it. In my second

year of university, I was finding it quite full-on with all the training and found myself running from one thing to the other, so I split my third year.

"I'm organised and I do quite well in putting certain efforts in one bit and then applying myself in another section.

"It probably takes a certain type of person to do both to a high level."

At the World Relay Championships in May Minshull won 4x400m bronze and added

to his burgeoning reputation at the recent Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, picking up a 400m hurdles silver medal (below, celebrating) that he "wasn't meant to get".

Minshull added: "It was pretty surreal. I've been training for moments like

that and to get one is pretty special.

"In my head I thought I could get a medal, but there's a bit of a difference between thinking it and actually doing it.

"It's given me a big confidence boost ready for Europeans.

"I definitely want to get a few more moments like that.

"I wasn't meant to get a medal at

Commonwealth, so let's see if we can do the same at the Euros."

Chief among his rivals will be Germany's Emil Agyekum, 27, and Norway's Olympic champion and world record holder Karsten Warholm, 30.

Minshull, part of a 98-strong Novuna GB & NI squad in Birmingham, admitted: "It's a pretty stacked field. It's mad how many guys there are in this event at the time.

"The obvious one to look at is Karsten. I like to think I'm a similar athlete to him in the way that our stride patterns work and how we attack a race.

"It would be pretty cool if I could race him."

Bennett clears biggest comeback hurdle

BY JOSEPH SAUNDERS SPRINTER Sam Bennett has shelved his retirement plans - and is now ready to take the European Athletics Championships by storm.

The 110m hurdler grabbed silver at the Commonwealth Games to dispel his injury fears.

The 25-year-old from Southend suffered a torn posterior cruciate ligament late last year, the latest in a long line of injuries stretching back seven years.

However, he roared to silver in

the Glasgow final behind Jamaican Demario Prince and then admitted: "This year was make or break.

"It's a reinforcement of my own beliefs because everybody else might not have those same beliefs that I can make those performances. It's like a checkbox next to my name that says, 'OK, he can perform when it matters'.

"I entered every single competition and wanted to win.

"That's the biggest thing that's been different for me this year. In

previous years, I lost that. I lost the ability to win."

Bennett, who spent four years studying economics and psychology at Harvard, won the European Under-18 Championships and Commonwealth Youth Games before his injury troubles.

And he admitted: "I couldn't possibly do another year of just watching the people who I've worked just as hard as to be in those positions travelling the world and competing for their country."

MISHASA FITNESS

FREAK

Marvel Mudryk in 'Uncle Tosin's' good books after comeback from drugs ban

BY BOBBY VINCENT in Hong Kong TOSIN ADARABIOYO has described his Chelsea teammate Mykhailo Mudryk as a "freak" and claimed he is not surprised the Ukrainian has maintained his fitness levels over the last 20 months.

Mudryk made his first appearance for the Blues since November 2024 on Wednesday evening, where he entered the pitch late in the 1-0 defeat to Juventus at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.

The FA confirmed last week a resolution had been found regarding the Ukrainian's anti-doping disciplinary proceedings.

Mudryk, who has been linked with a loan move to Coventry, came on for Nicolas Jackson (top), to a rapturous reception from the 43,000-plus supporters inside the Kai Tak.

Considering Mudryk had only just returned to training with the Blues squad – after 20 months away from the team – the fact he could make even a cameo after just a few sessions was impressive.

But not surprising, according to Blues centre-back Tosin (inset).

"Misha is my guy," he said. "I have kept in contact with him throughout and it is

really nice to have him back. I am really happy for him.

"You can see he is just really happy to be around and back in the environment. It is obviously going to take him some time but we are all here to support him."

Speaking about how Mudryk maintained his fitness levels during his lengthy time out of action, Tosin said: "Misha is a freak. His work rate is unbelievable."

"There is no doubt he has been working hard throughout this whole time. I know he has been doing sessions away. I have seen him. I know the guys he has been working with so it's good."

"I'm not at all [surprised by Mudryk's fitness]. I know Misha really well, his work rate is phenomenal, so I am not surprised."

Tosin, or 'Uncle Tosin' as he is known to his Chelsea teammates, is no longer the most senior figure within the Blues squad.

While being only 28 years old, Tosin had been the oldest player, but striker Danny Welbeck, 35, and midfielder Jordan Henderson, 36, have

joined Chelsea this summer.

"No, thank God," joked Tosin when reminded he is no longer the 'uncle'. "We have Welbeck now. I have known him for a long time just growing up in Manchester."

Welbeck made his unofficial debut for Chelsea in Hong Kong, where the striker took part in the opening 45 minutes before being replaced.

"And Tosin is excited to see how the veteran striker does in west London.

"We have all seen that he scores goals," added Tosin. "He is a striker and he is here to help. The way that he can help is by scoring goals and I am sure he will do that."

As for Henderson, the defender added: "Pure experience and, at the same time, they are winners. They will bring that winning mentality to the club and hopefully we will continue that way."

LOAN 'Spurs' Moore on way to a season in Bundesliga

Mikey is bound for Cologne

MIKEY MOORE has agreed to join Bundesliga club Cologne on a season-long loan, but Tottenham are yet to green light the move.

Highly-rated young attacker Moore flourished on loan at Rangers last term before being given the chance to impress Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi throughout this pre-season.

While the 18-year-old has produced eye-catching moments this summer, a second loan away from Tottenham has been agreed as the best course of action. But Moore has not yet received permission to fly to Germany to complete the move.

Middlesbrough and a second spell at Rangers were options for Moore, but the chance to play in one of Europe's top five leagues was too good to turn down.

Borussia Dortmund had registered an interest in Moore before Spurs refused to include an option or obligation to make the move permanent in any loan deal.

Moore is expected to complete a straight loan switch to Cologne in the coming days and will link up with former England Under-17 team-mate Reigan Heskey in Germany.

Villans in Rugg hunt

BY JOHN TOWNLEY ASTON VILLA are closing in on a £20.5million move to sign Atletico Madrid defender Matteo Ruggeri.

Personal terms have yet to be agreed with left-back Ruggeri (inset), who

is set to replace Lucas Digne. Veteran Digne is set to join Paris Saint-Germain for around £8m.

Former Italy Under-21 Ruggeri, 24, only joined Atletico from Atalanta last summer, but has struggled to produce his best form. Atletico have already signed Alex Grimaldo as his replacement, and Villa now believe there is a chance to bring Ruggeri to Villa Park.

"There is no doubt he has been working hard throughout this whole time. His work rate is unbelievable."

New Toon boss reflects still has funds for players

Jaissle expects new faces but says it's a 'collective' decision

BY LEE RYDER in La Manga

NEWCASTLE boss Matthias Jaissle expects more new faces to arrive at St James' Park this summer - but indicated he will not have the final say on transfers.

Speaking at the Magpies' pre-season training camp in Spain, Jaissle revealed any conversations on recruitment will be taken in conjunction with sporting director Ross Wilson and CEO David Hopkinson.

Jaissle, who has replaced Eddie Howe in the Toon hot seat, also warned that, while the current crop of players will get a chance to win him over, some will be gone before the new season kicks off.

Asked if he will have the final say on transfers, Jaissle replied: 'It is always about unity and having this conversation and being transparent in the way we think. Then it is a collective decision what we are going to do.'

'That is important, that we show it as a club, that unity is one of the key values from the Newcastle code. And this is something that we want to live.'

The Magpies have made five signings already this summer, with Bazoumana Toure, Aladji Bamba, Ewen Jaouen, Lukas Hornicek and Sean Steur through the door.

But the new boss insisted there will be more to follow. The German said: 'We have the capacity to do something

in the market. Our sporting director is aware of that. For sure, when the season starts, we should see new faces.

'This is now a transitional phase, but I am really excited to finally be - officially - here in the camp.

'I am already looking forward to being back home in Newcastle and to starting that journey.'

Toon are still reeling from losing Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon, with the new manager explaining those departures will take some getting used to internally. The German head coach said: 'That is a tough question after just one day of being the manager.

'It is a transition - we lost a couple of really important players and that has changed [things]. But we have a clear vision of where we want to go and be successful, everybody does, but it is about hard work now in pre-season and making progress.'

When asked about the level of his ambition, Jaissle added: 'I have always got big ambitions. That is, I think, the key element for every coach, otherwise I would not be here.

'But it's always easily said. The most important thing is just to do your best every day and get the best out of the players, try to improve and support them, give them also the courage to grow, and that's now the phase we're in with this pre-season.'

BRUNO SET ON LEAVING

FROM BACK PAGE Jaissle's chance to buy in the remainder of the window. He needs at least one full-back - Tino Livramento (left) and Lewis Hall are the only senior options - while a replacement for Guimaraes and possibly another midfielder are also required. 'I'm only one day here,

but I have the squad mapping and I have clear ideas,' Jaissle added.

'I also want to know the players here, give them a chance to show up. It's always a nice challenge for the players, too.

'First, let me come here and do the job, let's work all together and then we'll make the decisions.'

Boro are Hell-bent on glory

Boro v Wrexham Carabao Cup 1st rd, 8pm BY CRAIG JOHNS

KIM HELLBERG wants Middlesbrough to use tonight's Carabao Cup clash with Wrexham to set the tone for a fresh crack at Premier League promotion.

Boro kick off their season with tonight's first-round cup tie before their Championship campaign begins next weekend at home to Lincoln City.

After an ambitious transfer window - with five players signed and two more, in Radek Vitek and Ashley Phillips, close - Boro are pumped for promotion.

Boro head coach Hellberg (above) admitted: "It's probably the only competitive game where you can say that a more important game is coming up in the following week.

"You want to win because it's important to start with a win to build up a character of winning.

"We will try to do everything we can to win the game, but you also need to balance some things and maybe don't take a risk that you might have taken if I was a week further down the line."

Vini does Real deal

BY TOM CANTON

VINICIUS JUNIOR has agreed a contract extension with Real Madrid, dashing Arsenal's hopes of signing the forward.

The Gunners were very keen to sign the Brazilian but that prompted Real Madrid to act. And he last night agreed a new deal to keep him in the Spanish capital until 2032.

Real initially stood firm on not improving their previous offer but that changed following talks this week with the club hierarchy.

Vinicius, 26, joined Real from Flamengo in 2018 and his representatives had been in talks over a fresh deal for the past 18 months.

He returned to the club at the start of the week following his World Cup campaign with Brazil.

TOP DRAMING

Quality buys like Bruno will help Gunners stay at summit says Calafiori

RICCARDO CALAFIORI insists signings of Bruno Guimaraes' quality are just what Arsenal need to stay at title-winning level.

The Brazilian is set to be announced as the second-most expensive signing in the club's history after completing a move from Newcastle for around £75million.

After a lengthy transfer saga, the two clubs finally reached an agreement.

Calafiori, asked how exciting it is to be linked to players such as the 28-year-old and whether it highlights the club's ambition for the new season, said: "Of course, I think it's the level that we want to reach, and we want

to stay at this level, and that's the season we want."

The Italian defender added: "The Premier League, I think, has to be a new cycle, and we want to stay at that."

Calafiori has had to endure an emotional summer, being forced to sit back and watch his club team-mates head off to North America to compete at the World Cup.

Italy were beaten in qualifying by Viktor Gyokeres' Sweden, leaving the Arsenal full-back to explain that the entire process made it too painful to sit down and watch much of the tournament, while still being happy for his

winning colleagues. "I haven't watched a lot," the Italian international admitted.

"I said from the beginning because obviously I have so much pain in my tummy to not qualify, and also I kind of hurt how big it was.

"Even if you don't want to watch the World Cup, it's that big that everywhere you go, you still see it on TV every match. At the end, I was happy for the three Spanish guys that we have in our team."

That pain, however, is clearly set to become a motivator for the 24-year-old.

Injuries have plagued Calafiori's career with Arsenal, but the recharge over an

uninterrupted summer will be a benefit, as will turning the hurt of missing the World Cup into a push for the new season.

"Yeah, I think I can use it, and as well, I think I had a good window to rest.

"Of course, I have to give this energy that I have still in my body for my team," Calafiori said. "I think I can help the team a lot this season."

Despite being Premier League champions, it is evident that Calafiori has not

"We reached two finals and lost them. It is easy to start again from there."

forgotten the team's missed opportunities in the Champions League and Carabao Cup finals. Manager Mikel Arteta (circle) said his side were 'turning' after the defeat to Real Betis in what was only a pre-season friendly.

The pain of winning just the one trophy last season clearly remains branded into the Arsenal players.

"It's not that complicated," Calafiori said when asked about going to another level despite already being Premier League champions.

"Because obviously we reached two finals last season and we lost them. It's so easy to start again from there and to try to win it."

BECKS: FUTURE IS ORANGE

BY JACK FLINTHAM

DAVID BECKHAM believes Salford City will own the colour orange after changing the League Two side's home kit.

Shortly after their takeover in 2014, Manchester United legends and Salford co-owners Beckham and Gary Neville changed the Ammies' shirts from orange to red.

But a fan consultation last

season overwhelmingly voted in favour of their original colours.

Beckham, who also co-owns MLS side Inter Miami who play in pink shirts, said: "I think it is going to stand out.

"But do you know what I love about this? I talk about Miami and I talk about owning the colour pink, and now we're going to own the colour orange in club football."

FOOTBALL: PREMIER LEAGUE COUNTDOWN

UEFA still planning to boycott

BY JAMIE GARDNER UEFA insist a European boycott of the World Cup remains in place after FIFA indicated president Gianni Infantino would carry on. Infantino (above) has been under pressure for over a week after his controversial plan to sell stakes in a company to run the World Cup.

UEFA stated its 55 member countries would boycott FIFA competitions until the idea was scrapped.

FIFA's management board gave Infantino its backing on Wednesday, but the European confederation said that "changes nothing".

"UEFA's associations were very clear about the conditions attached to the non-participation in FIFA competitions," a UEFA statement read.

"The proposals to sell off major competitions had to be withdrawn and assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again. These conditions have not been met.

"The announcement that some people employed by the FIFA President (and whose careers depend on his favour) agree with him changes nothing."

Big date for Argies

BY JAMIE GARDNER ARGENTINA'S semi-final win over England at the World Cup will be commemorated each year.

The Argentinian FA has established July 15 - the date of the 2-1 victory in Atlanta - as its 'National Football Teams Day' after a meeting of its executive board on Wednesday.

"The date was chosen to commemorate Argentina's historic victory over England in the World Cup semi-final," an article on the AFA's website stated.

"Lionel Scaloni's team was trailing the English side by a single goal, but with goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez, they turned the game around, sending the nation into a frenzy of celebration."

CONZALEZ

El Clashico as big Liga rivals join hunt for Rod

FROM BACK PAGE could return to La Liga. His performances at the World Cup have catapulted him into the running for the Italian d'Or and pushed the Spanish super-clubs into trying to secure a deal for him.

Rodri is still expected to return to City ahead of the new season and the club will want a big offer that reflects his status in world football if they are to sell him, but they have to be alive to that prospect given the significant interest in him.

City have already brought in 23-year-old Elliot Anderson for a club record £116million this summer from Nottingham Forest and are also working on a deal to secure Lille's Ayyub Bouaddi, 18.

The French club had been hoping to keep the midfielder for another year so will not let the Moroccan teenager go cheaply.

However, given the age profile of those two players, and the fact that City have already lost Bernardo Silva, City's ability to keep hold of Rodri is likely to have a huge impact on their title chances.

The Elliott came close to playing Arsenal in the final weeks of last season but fell short at the last with the 30-year-old missing for crucial matches in the run-in.

CONZALEZ

BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI NICO GONZALEZ has become the latest Manchester City midfielder to commit his future to the club as Enzo Maresca sweats on the future of Rodri.

Gonzalez had a testing first 18 months and last season went from the most valuable player for Pep Guardiola in the first half of the campaign to somebody who was barely used in the final months.

That created doubts over his future as City look to refresh their midfield given the departure of Bernardo Silva and the possible exit of Rodri.

With Maresca taking charge, Gonzalez was one of a number of players whose place in the squad for this season was not secure.

But the former Porto player has followed Mateo Kovacic (next) in declaring his intention to stay while on the summer tour.

Speaking after the 3-1 win over K-League All Stars, Gonzalez insisted he is happy to be a member of the group even if he doesn't play every match.

"I'm happy here. I don't want to leave and I think the club wants me to stay. I haven't seen anything but I'm happy here," he said. "I don't think any player has the position guaranteed for all the matches. Everyone has to work hard.

"We are one of the best teams in the world and obviously there is competition in

MEN IN THE MIDDLE Tijani Reijnders and Elliot Anderson (right)

every position. That is what makes us be in the position that we are, winning so many Premier Leagues and competing for everything.

"I try not to focus on if I play or not. I try to focus on working well and being ready when I have to play. To be honest, last season I couldn't have expected to have played almost 30 matches in the starting XI.

"I played really good and I am happy here. I'm happy because I've had many opportunities."

If Gonzalez and Kovacic are expected to stay, Tijani Reijnders is likely to move on after just a year at the club.

The Dutch international was signed from AC Milan for an initial £46.3m but has strong interest from

Nottingham Forest, while Newcastle and Galatasaray have also shown an inter-

est. The arrival of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116m has only served to push Reijnders further down the pecking order.

Talks are progressing to sign Lille's Ayyub Bouaddi, 18, and he will be brought in regardless of outgroup.

Additionally, there will be replacements for either or both of Reijnders and Rodri,

with the latter wanted by Barcelona now as well as Real Madrid.

That policy applies to other departures as well, so if Savinho heads to Tottenham then somebody new will be signed to take his spot in the squad.

It isn't clear yet that this will definitely be a winger, with Maresca and sporting director Hugo Viana flexible over their attack.

And with James Trafford completing a move to Leeds, Marseille's Geronimo Rulli, 34, is in City sights for the second time in his career.

He is lined up to become Gianluigi Donnarumma's No.2, with Marcus Bettinelli staying as the third keeper.

Plans to sign a right-back have also been

shelved. City were only ever looking for a back-up to Matheus Nunes, having deemed Malo Gusto too expensive at the £75m Chelsea wanted for Maresca to reunite with his former player.

Abdukodir Khusanov is capable of playing at right-back and Vitor Reis also played there for part of the friendly with K-League All Stars. Reis is expected to stay with the first-team squad this season, with the right-back role offering him another route to minutes.

Having moved early to sign Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi in the January transfer window, City are confident that they can back those signings up in August to give Maresca the best possible chance of a successful first season at the Etihad.

DOKU HANDED A FIVE-STAR DEAL

BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI MANCHESTER CITY will announce an improved five-year deal for Jeremy Doku when he returns to training next week.

The Russian winner (inset) has been rewarded for an impressive year in which he became a regular first-team player and will be counted on as a key part of Enzo Maresca's team.

Doku arrived at City in 2023 and won the Premier League in his first year old, struggled with injuries and consistency in his first two seasons at the Elbede.

However, he was a standout in several important matches last season and the club have acted to tie down the 24-year-old for at least another five years.

Having enjoyed a break after playing for Belgium at the World Cup, Doku is one of several players who will not back up with his City team-mates ahead of the Community.

Shield, it remains to be seen if he will be involved against Arsenal but Maresca will look to ease him back in as the season gets underway.

Doku could be even more exciting for City this season after changes made by the new boss to the way the team attacks.

Antoine Semenyo joined up with the squad for the Asia trial and has been left delighted by what he has been told by his new coach.

"From day one not out this ideas to us," Semenyo said, speaking at Alonzo Tack.

Preparation is Everything events. "If reported a little bit later than some of the boys and I have had individual meetings with him on how he wants to set up, how he wants to play, his wide men, and just overall as a team.

"It's been good so far. I think his ideas are great - quite similar to Pep.

"If you watched the game against Inter Milan, you would have seen a couple of his ideas play out and it was good. And I'm looking forward to it."

Monga gets teenage kicks at City already

BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI IT WAS only in February 2025, as he walked out at Old Trafford, that Jeremy Monga knew for sure he had something special.

Scouting reports from clubs and England staff had said it for years, but you can never really know in academy football if you are going to make it all the way through to the first team until the moment comes.

Having made the bench for an FA Cup game for Leicester against Manchester United shortly after his 15th birthday, a few months later Monga (below) made his debut for the Foxes against Newcastle, to become the second youngest Premier League player in the competition's history behind Ethan Nwaneri.

All that time sacrificed with his mates had been worth it, but the youngster's parents made sure he knew that making it was one thing but staying there was another.

The early impressions at City are positive as well, with the winger taking on all the instructions

from new boss Enzo Maresca on the pitch and advice from Antoine Semenyo off it.

"I'm the type of person that doesn't really focus on the outside noise, I focus on what I do on the pitch," he said.

"I find it easy to cope because I don't overthink.

"One thing that I realised early is that everything can get stripped away just like that so I have to stay focused and humble because keeping my spot is the main priority.

"Sometimes it's annoying that I'm missing out on things but it's for the greater good. If you want to be a top player you have to live the top lifestyle and make sacrifices. My parents taught me that.

"Antoine Semenyo has been guiding me so far, telling me what's right from wrong."

It remains to be seen if Monga will be sent out on loan, not that he has given up on making an impact at City this season.

He said: "I'm so confident in myself that I can impress and work hard and do everything I need to do to get in the squad."

RECORD FEE Trafford

Trafford is for keeps at Leeds

BY ISAAC JOHNSON

GOALKEEPER James Trafford has completed his medical and signed a five-year deal at Leeds.

The 23-year-old became the club record signing with Leeds shaking hands with Manchester City on a package of £40m plus add-ons.

Trafford is the club's third signing of the summer, following free agent Harry Wilson, 29, and 23-year-old Tarik Muharemovic, who cost £34m.

He arrives as Daniel Farke's firm No3 choice, which could potentially trigger the loan exit of 2025 goalkeeper signing Lucas Perri to Torino.

This would prompt Leeds to look for a new back-up, with Alex Cairns expected to be third choice.

The Whites saw Karl Darlow leave the club for Manchester United this summer, while Ilian Meslier joined Arsenal after his own deal expired.

Trafford has eyes on becoming Jordan Pickford's successor for England and knows he must earn regular game time in order to achieve this. He has two caps for the Three Lions so far and was a part of the World Cup squad.

Juanlu in at Vitality

BOURNEMOUTH have signed Sevilla right-back Juanlu in an £11m deal.

The former Spain Under-21 international (inset) has signed a five-year contract for an initial £9.4m fee and could cost a further

£17m in add-ons.

The 22-year-old is the Cherries'

third signing of the summer following the transfers of centre-back Antonio Silva from Benfica and forward Alvaro Rodriguez from Elche.

Bournemouth moved for a right-back after allowing Alex Jimenez to join Fiorentina on a season-long loan.

BARCELONA are ready to battle Real Madrid to sign Rodri this summer as Manchester City fight to keep hold of their star.

Real have already started their pursuit of the 30-year-old World Cup winner but they have now been joined by their fierce rivals.

And the noises coming from Spain indicate Rodri would prefer a move to the Camp Nou to join up with Hansi Flick's La Liga winners rather than heading to the Bernabeu.

Midfielder Rodri is into the final year of his contract at the Etihad and has resisted all efforts from City to commit his future to the club.

Offers of a new deal remain unsigned and there have been no attempts to shut down the speculation that he

'BRUNO'S MIND WAS MADE UP'

BY LEE RYDER IN LA MANGA

MATTHIAS JAISSLE has

revealed that he was too late to stop Bruno Guimaraes leaving Newcastle for Arsenal.

The new Toon boss said the Brazilian (top) had already made up his mind about quitting before he had a chance to speak to the departing skipper.

Guimaraes' sale for £75million to the Premier League champions has finally been agreed after the player went to London yesterday to put the final touches to the deal.

Just days after he was confirmed as Eddie Howe's replacement, Jaissle said: "I met Guimaraes quickly, but the decision was already made.

"It was a nice conversation, fantastic player but also a great human being. It's tough, but also for him, it's the next challenge.

"We have to deal with it at a later stage. We trust the players that are here already, but we will also see some changes."
