向骑师 杰玛 致敬

在昨天的 古德伍德 女性日,赛马观众们穿着考究,华丽的帽子和绚丽的花卉装扮为这场“光荣”盛会增色不少。

但真正成为焦点的是 23 岁的骑师 杰玛·欧文,她在西萨塞克斯赛马场举办的年度 Markel Magnolia Cup 慈善赛中完成了她的首次亮相。

这位 《爱之岛》 明星、 英格兰 足球传奇 迈克尔·欧文 之女,骑乘 Turbo Trotter 获得了令人印象深刻的第四名。

自豪

这匹马来自她父亲的 庄园马厩。46 岁的 迈克尔 满怀自豪地在赛道旁为她加油,尽管他也十分紧张。他表示:“骑马以 40 英里/小时的速度行驶绝非最安全的事,而当骑手是你的女儿时,这会让人格外紧张,但她是一名非常出色的骑手。”

坚定的 杰玛 表示:“我现在就想赢。我会参加另一场比赛,争取拿到冠军。”

养老住宅成“彻底的失败”,年长者恐不敢购买

作者:劳拉·齐林卡诺娃 (LAURA ZILINCANOVA)

一名行业专家警告称,“极其令人震惊地糟糕”的转售价值、飙升的服务费以及高昂的地租,正让年长者打消购买旨在支持他们的房屋的念头。

相反,许多人正缩小住房规模,搬进可能不适合其需求的常规住宅——从而失去了定制化住房应当提供的安全性、支持和社区环境。

提供免费建议的慈善机构——租赁产权知识伙伴关系 (Leasehold Knowledge Partnership) 的负责人塞巴斯蒂安·奥凯利 (Sebastian O’Kelly) 告诉《每日快报》:“英国的养老住宅可以说是一个彻底的失败。”

“鉴于该领域层出不穷的丑闻,整个家庭普遍对此避而远之也就不足为奇了。”

英国的养老公寓旨在帮助年长者独立生活,配备了无障碍布局、紧急呼叫系统、公共空间,且部分开发项目还设有现场工作人员。

对于许多居民来说,这些公寓在普通公寓和养老院之间提供了一个折中选择。但对于他们的家人而言,继承这样的房产是一场折磨,

img-9.jpeg

有些房产甚至需要花费数年时间才能售出。奥凯利先生认为,年长者在购买昂贵的新建房产是“荒谬的”,因为“绝大多数人的情况是,通过租赁会对他们的家庭更有利”。

在谈到转售价值时,他表示:“公寓通常是因为面对紧急危机而购买的,很少考虑长期后果。” 这种脆弱性使买家更容易受到“极具攻击性”的租赁条款的影响。

他希望工党停止用纳税人的钱资助这些房屋的开发商。他说:“政府可以让英格兰房屋公司 [其住房与更新机构] 停止分发公共资金来建造更多此类失败的项目。”

58 岁的珍妮特·塔尔曼 (Janet Talman) 试图出售她已故父母位于伯克郡梅登黑德 (Maidenhead, Berks) 的一套两居室公寓,目前已尝试了 2½ 年。

该公寓在 2022 年以 £400,000 买入,现在的挂牌价为 £175,000;同时,每月服务费已增长至 £1,000 以上,且由于空置房处罚,每年的市政税已翻倍至 £5,230。

住在萨里郡 (Surrey) 的塔尔曼女士告诉正发起反对“养老公寓陷阱”运动的《每日快报》,当时购买这样的公寓“感觉像是

转售价值是诸多问题之一

img-10.jpeg

正确的选择”,因为她的父母不需要养老院。他们当时 80 多岁,受益于那些“可爱”的空间和社区氛围。但在他们 2023 年去世后,塔尔曼女士和她的姐姐继承了一个“财务噩梦”,而且“赚不到任何钱”。

在遗嘱认证期间以及随后的最多六个月内,家庭可以申请免缴市政税。但如果房屋一直未能售出,一些地方议会会征收高达 100% 的溢价税。

私人开发商——专业养老住宅的主要提供者——通常拥有土地的所有权,因此拥有永久产权。因此,当有人购买公寓时,他们与开发商签署的是租赁协议。

除非协议中包含回购条款,否则开发商没有义务回购该公寓或代表业主进行销售。

塔尔曼女士说:“真正让我恼火的是,我的父母签署了这份协议。我们从未签署过任何表示我们认同租赁条款的文件。你面对的是一个认为这是唯一选择的脆弱买家,而处理此事的律师在办理过程中没有讨论风险,更没有努力向继承公寓的人讨论风险。我会称他们为懒惰的律师。”

费用

她还不记得她的律师是否强调过家庭在出售该房产时可能会面临的挑战。“如果我早知道,我肯定会考虑不接受这套公寓,”她说。

另一个要求匿名的家庭自 2022 年以来已有六个不同的买家毁约。

在他们 103 岁的婆婆去世后,他们将要价从 £100,000 降低到 £75,000。

但服务费以及一项用于支付重大且不频繁结构维修的 £32,400 偿债基金令人们望而却步。这位在照顾患癌丈夫的同时每月支付 £420 持续账单的儿媳表示:“我妈以为她留下了一笔遗产,但这成了我们脖子上的枷锁。出售后将不会剩下任何钱。”

英格兰房屋公司没有透露其向退休公寓开发商提供了多少百万资金。据估计,英格兰和威尔士有 10,000 套此类房屋处于空置状态。该机构的一名发言人表示:“我们的职责是执行政府政策,我们不制定也不评论该政策。”

“我们的重点是与当地领导者和合作伙伴协作,在充满活力且包容的社区中提供急需的房屋,这些房屋根据人们和地点的需求采用各种不同的设计和产权形式。”

英国的退休住房可以用“完全失败”来形容。

与北美和澳大拉西亚地区约 16% 的比例相比,英国仅有约 2% 的 65 岁以上老人居住在指定的退休住房中。

鉴于该行业没完没了的丑闻,大多数家庭普遍避开这种形式的住房也就不足为奇了。

大多数老年人只是缩减规模,搬到普通公寓或较小的房屋中,而且有充足的证据表明,从财务角度来看,这样做是对的。

退休住房的特点是服务费高昂,在没有任何服务的情况下地租极高(现在新住房禁止引入此类地租),而且转售价值低得令人震惊,这一点在土地登记局 (Land Registry) 的记录中得到了证实。

自由保有权被金融投资者买走,他们被高额的收入流所吸引。

现在,政府能做的事情很少,无法让那些购买了这些租赁权的人生活得更好。

毕竟,买家接受了极具侵略性的

停止拨发公共资金建设更多此类失败项目

租赁条款,而律师们要么是自满地予以通过,要么在最坏的情况下只是实际卖方的傀儡。

但政府可以停止英格兰房屋公司拨发公共资金来建设更多此类失败项目。

其中涉及的财富侵蚀轨迹过于明显,但房屋建筑商却一再予以否认。

然而,买家在穿着制服的销售人员的欺骗下仍然签约,认为退休公寓在某种程度上是解决方案。

公寓通常是因为突发危机(例如丧亲)而购买的,很少考虑实际的长期后果。

令人荒谬的是,八十多岁的人在进行昂贵的新建房产购买,而从财务角度来看,绝大多数人通过租房会给家人带来更好的结果。

尽管如此,这些考量是财务上的。

对于那些不再想住在大型家庭住宅中的孤独老年人来说,退休住房是非常出色的。

因凡蒂诺私有化计划引发强烈抵制

“世界杯属于足球。永远如此”

img-12.jpeg

延续第一页

西班牙和葡萄牙。一名英足总(FA)发言人在昨晚表示:“我们与欧洲同行肩并肩,全力支持这一集体观点。

“我们反对国际足联(Fifa)的计划——国际足联世界杯属于足球,而且永远属于足球。”

因凡蒂诺在揭晓一项允许私募股权公司收购这项拥有 96 年历史的赛事股份的计划时,引发了公愤。

这项 £3.1billion 的抛售将涉及纽约风险投资公司 Thrive Capital,该公司由约书亚·库什纳(Joshua Kushner)领导,他是唐纳德·特朗普女婿贾里德·库什纳的兄弟。

该计划甚至遭到了因凡蒂诺那名蒙羞的前任、90, 岁的塞普·布拉特(Sepp Blatter)的谴责,他表示:“国际足联世界杯不是属于少数高管的商业资产。它是世界足球文化遗产的一部分。”

55 个欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 成员投票决定,如果因凡蒂诺的计划得以实施,他们将抵制男足和女足世界杯以及世俱杯。英格兰、法国、德国、比利时、荷兰等欧洲顶尖球队,以及东道主西班牙和葡萄牙可能会避开 2030 年世界杯。在北美、中美洲和加勒比海地区的由 41 个国家组成的中北美及加勒比海足球联合会 (Concacaf) 也拒绝了因凡蒂诺的想法,但他们尚未威胁要发起抵制。

风险投资家 约书亚·库什纳

img-13.jpeg

首相安迪·伯纳姆(Andy Burnham)痛批该计划,称:“足球不属于投资者。世界杯不是一件产品。它是世界体育运动中最伟大的赛事。

“一旦你出卖了其中的一部分,你就出卖了灵魂。”

而英国改革党(Reform UK)领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇(Nigel Farage)呼吁因凡蒂诺辞职。这位出生于瑞士的负责人于 2016, 年当选国际足联主席,多年来获得了非洲、亚洲和美洲国家的坚定支持,因为这些国家从他管理的政策中获得了经济利益。这些政策包括将世界杯扩军至 48 支球队、商业收入的增长以及每年数百万英镑的直接资助。

因凡蒂诺的支持者可能超过国际足联 211 个成员的一半,且由于该管理机构的投票仅需简单多数通过,如果超过半数投票赞成,就意味着他的计划将继续推进。

在被抨击为“贿赂”的行为中,因凡蒂诺告诉所有 211 个成员,如果他们支持该项目,将获得 £30m —— 且必须在 9 月 19 日截止日期前接受,并可获取首批 £15m。

然而,鉴于欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 的强硬反应,他现在可能被迫让步。其抵制行动将首先在 10 月的女足世界杯附加赛中受到考验。

欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 昨晚表示:“我们一致且明确地拒绝国际足联将世界杯所有权权益……转移给私人投资者的提议。

“世界杯不能被视为一种投资产品。它是由各大洲的球员、国家队和支持者历经数代人建立起来的。

“它的任何部分都不应交给私人投资者。”

欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 担心,通过引入私募股权,国际足联赛事的规模和频率要求将会增加——从而给赛程其余部分带来压力,并导致票价上涨。

该组织补充道:“这不仅是领导能力的严重失败,更是国际足联作为世界足球守护者职责的缺失。

“有些东西太重要了,根本不能出售。国际足联世界杯属于足球。它永远如此。”内部人士表示,这次冲突最终可能会演变成因凡蒂诺与欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 主席、斯洛文尼亚律师亚历山大·切费林(Aleksander Ceferin)之间的权力斗争。

ANDY DUNN

足球评论员

在整个世界杯期间,詹尼·因凡蒂诺出席了 45 场比赛,并且每一场都被电视摄像机捕捉到了。

他几乎在任何时刻都带着一副自鸣得意的表情。创纪录的商业收入即将到手,体育场座无虚席,而他还有一个 200 亿美元的诡计在心中筹划。

他打算将地球上最伟大的体育盛事的权利贱卖给私人投资者,并将其伪装成给国际足联 211 个会员国赚取额外资金的一种方式。

而现在,其中 55 个会员国已经告诉他该如何处理这个计划。要么放弃,要么面临完全没有世界杯的情况。或者是没有女子世界杯。或者是没有俱乐部世界杯。或者没有任何由国际足联组织的世界杯。

因为如果没有欧洲国家,就没有世界杯。任何形式都没有。你可以打赌詹尼今天看起来不再那么得意了。欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 的态度再明确不过了。

但其声明远远超出了宣布抵制国际足联赛事本身(这本身就是一个地震级的决定)。它撕碎了因凡蒂诺的诚信与道德。它证明了他完全不称职。

当提到国际足联的提案是“不负责任且无法辩护”且“在秘密中构思”时,所指的就是因凡蒂诺。

恐吓

当提到“领导力的严重失败”时,所指的就是因凡蒂诺。当提到“国际足联作为世界足球守护者职责的放弃”时,所指的就是因凡蒂诺。当提到“通过恐吓进行治理”时,所指的就是因凡蒂诺。

这是欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联),其球队在世界杯中占据主导地位的协会。在其具有里程碑意义的紧急会议上,它不仅确保了因凡蒂诺的计划胎死腹中,还拆穿了这位世界足球掌舵人的为人——而唐纳德·特朗普认为此人会是一个优秀的北约秘书长。

好吧,也许特朗普可以帮他的哥们儿搞定北约的职位,因为他作为国际足联主席的地位现在已不可维持。因凡蒂诺的脸皮之厚堪称传奇,但很难想象他还能如何留任。

必须承认,欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 在将欧洲足球商业化方面并不缓慢,但那是另一个故事。它已经盯着因凡蒂诺一段时间了。

而通过这次可耻的、判断失误的、贪婪的且不顾氛围的阴谋,因凡蒂诺让自己陷入了被推翻的境地。欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 以冷酷而残忍的方式抓住了机会。

因凡蒂诺必须走人。

选民为伯纳姆首相带来首场考验

作者:KATIE HARRIS,高级政治记者

在选民于昨日参与投票以选出大曼彻斯特市长的继任者后,安迪·伯纳姆面临其首相任期内的首次选举考验。

这场预计将花费数百万英镑的补选,是因为伯纳姆先生在今年早些时候为了竞选首相而辞职而引发的。

广泛预计,工党的贝芙·克雷格(Bev Craig)——曼彻斯特市议会领导者——将在大曼彻斯特市长的竞选中获胜。结果预计将于今天下午公布。她于昨日在迪兹伯里的博罗克小学投了票。

民意调查显示,她领先改革英国党候选人西安·阿斯特利(Sian Astley)20 个百分点,后者是一名室内设计师兼建筑商,代表巴古利选区。

改革英国党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇警告称:“大曼彻斯特需要一名能解决问题的人。它需要一个具有从零开始建立成功企业之实际经验的人,而不是另一个只会让市中心不断富裕,却抛弃博尔顿和威根等城镇的职业政客。”

倾倒

法拉奇先生表示,改革党的阿斯特利女士将“让商业街恢复活力,阻止非法移民被倾倒在城镇中,并公开账目,让人们最终能看到他们的税金是如何被使用的”。

伯纳姆首相介入这场竞选,他表示克雷格女士将确保“每个城镇,每个区”都能分享该地区的成功。他补充道:“贝芙将专注于让您的口袋里有更多钱,让家庭在生活成本方面有更多的喘息空间,并确保每个区的年轻人拥有他们茁壮成长所需的机会。”

“贝芙将通过与我们城市地区每个社区步调一致地工作来实现这一点,这样我们就可以共同塑造我们的未来。”

本周早些时候,More in Common 的民调显示,工党以 39% 领先,改革英国党为 19%,绿党为 14%,保守党为 12%。

波尔顿、伯里、曼彻斯特、奥尔德姆、罗奇代尔、索尔福德、斯托克波特、泰晤义德、特拉福德和威根的居民可以投票。伯纳姆先生在 6 月赢得梅克菲尔德补选后卸任。

市长计划为居民增加现金收益

作者:STEPH SPYRO 副政治编辑

当大都市市长在春季获得更多权力时,当地居民可能会获得税收返还。

保守党的蒂斯河谷领导人本·霍琴已经在与财政部讨论如何实施。

他表示:“每位市长都支持财政权力下放,因为他们想要更多可支配的资金。”

“然而,如果蒂斯河谷被授予一部分当地产生的个人所得税和商业税率,我将建立一个返还计划,将钱还给人们的口袋,让家庭保留更多他们赚来的钱。”

竞争力

“财政权力下放必须是为了让像蒂赛德这样的地方拥有以不同方式做事、支持增长并奖赏推动当地经济的人们的权力,而不是榨干他们的每一分钱。”

霍琴先生自 2017 年起领导拥有 700,000 名居民的蒂斯河谷地区。他希望使其成为“一个比曼彻斯特和伦敦更具吸引力、更具投资竞争力的地点”。

直到 6 月仍担任大曼彻斯特市长的安迪·伯纳姆首相今天将概述他的权力下放之梦。

这将包括市长保留更大份额的当地产生收入,从商业税率开始。具体细节将在秋季预算案中详细阐述。首相预计将表示:“每位地方领导人都将拥有改善公共交通、建设房屋和创造就业机会的权力和资源。”

退休人员所得税账单飙升至每年 £30billion

退休人员每年缴纳高达 £30billion 的所得税。

根据 HMRC 的数据,退休人员向税务局缴纳的金额已从 2022/23 年度的 £21.1bn 飙升至 2024/25 年度的 £29.8bn。

这在很大程度上是由于税收起征点被冻结。税级将越来越多的人拖入所得税缴纳范围,或使其处于更高的税率等级。

但这也意味着政府在养老金供款所得税减免方面面临更高的成本,因为在一定限额内,养老金供款是免税的。

这在 2022/23 年度花费了 £47.8bn,但在 2024/25 年度则达到了 £60.4bn。

这是因为更多的人被拉入了更高税率档位,该档位的减免率为 40%,而基本税率纳税人的减免率仅为 20%。

前养老金大臣、养老金咨询公司 LCP 的合伙人 Sir Steve Webb 表示:

作者:KATIE HARRIS 高级政治记者

“税收起征点和免税额的持续冻结,导致数百万更多的人不得不缴纳更高税率的所得税。”

“而这件事的另一面是,当他们向养老金账户缴费时,可以获得更多的税收减免,从而导致税收减免的成本飙升。”

“但个人免税额的冻结意味着缴纳所得税的退休人员数量也急剧增加,退休人员的税单金额大幅上升。”

“在所有关于代际公平的讨论中,重要的是要记住,退休人员向国库缴纳的金额也在增长——在最新数据中,其养老金所得税约为 £30bn。”

img-16.jpeg

“尽管政府可能会倾向于削减税收减免以降低这一上升成本,但在议会任期过半的情况下,政治操作将变得非常困难。”

“任何变动都将是复杂且技术性的,可能需要数年时间才能实施。在下次大选之前,这能带来的资金很少,但在政治上会极不受欢迎。”

“政府很可能会得出结论,目前只能忍受税收减免成本的上涨。”

本月早些时候发布的另一份 HMRC 数据显示,缴纳所得税的退休人员数量从 2022/23 年度的 7.1 million 跃升至 2026/27 年度的 9.6 million。

与此同时,个人免税额自 2021/22 年度起一直冻结在 £12,570,而由于近年来较高的通货膨胀率以及“三重锁定”机制(确保养老金按通货膨胀率、平均工资增长率两者中较高者而上涨),国家养老金的价值已显著增加。

首相面临英吉利海峡噩梦

作者:MICHAEL KNOWLES 内政编辑

随着跨境人数创下单日纪录,昨日 ANDY Burnham 的英吉利海峡移民噩梦进一步加剧,四人在试图抵达英国的过程中丧生。

三名女性被发现死于敦刻尔克港附近,一名 30 多岁的男子在船只翻覆后死于 Dannes 海域,当时约有 100 名其他移民试图登上他所在的橡皮艇。

内政部表示,周三共有 752 人乘坐九艘船抵达英国——平均每艘船 84 人——走私者打破了今年的单日最高纪录。

今年之前的单日最高纪录为 710 人。

这加深了人们的担忧,即犯罪团伙已转向使用更大的船只,一些网络现在将 100 多人强行挤进某些橡皮艇中。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普警告 Burnham 先生,大规模移民正在“摧毁你的国家”,并补充道:“这是一场入侵,而英国是主要嫌疑对象。”

就在几天前,首相还坚称政府遏制英吉利海峡跨境的计划正在“发挥作用”,尽管他承认“仍有更多工作要做”。

翻覆

伯纳姆先生在昨天访问坎布里亚郡期间坚持其言论,坚称“各方面都在取得进展”。

他表示,在减少跨境人数方面已取得“显著进展”,并赞扬了内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德的努力。

但他补充说,仍需开展更多工作以“掌控局面”并“将人数大幅降低”。

随着最新死亡人数确认,今年的死亡人数增加至 14 人。

昨天遇难的三名女性是由一艘法国救援船在一艘“出租船”上发现的,该船可能曾在敦刻尔克海滩停靠以接载更多移民。

一名男子死亡,另有六人(包括一名小婴儿)在尝试夜间穿越英吉利海峡时受伤。

据称,他在一艘充气艇上待了 16 小时,当时约 100 人试图在哈德洛特和丹内斯之间爬上船,导致船只翻覆。

保守党党魁凯米·巴登诺克表示:“历届政府

img-18.jpeg

img-19.jpeg

未能阻止船只,因为他们试图解决的是症状而非原因。

“如果人们知道他们可以留下并领取福利,他们就会继续来。如果他们知道自己会被遣除,他们就不会来。我们必须改变激励机制。这就是为什么保守党边境计划要退出欧洲人权法院(ECHR),赋予我们禁止非法入境者申请避难以及在一周内遣除新抵达者的权力。

“这就是为什么我们将提高非公民领取福利和住房补贴的难度。

“这是常识。而这将是我们永久夺回边境控制权的方式。”影子内政大臣克里斯·菲利普补充道:“非法穿越英吉利海峡极其危险,危及生命。每一次这样的悲剧死亡都是可以避免的。拯救生命的唯一方法就是完全停止跨境行为。

“而我们能够停止跨境行为的唯一方法就是建立适当的威慑。

“如果人们知道他们可以留在英国,住在酒店并领取福利,那么他们将继续冒风险进行这些危险的旅程。

“相反,如果他们知道自己会被迅速遣除,那么他们根本就不会跨境。

“我们必须消除非法入境英国的诱因。”

昨天的照片显示,在法国哈德洛特海滩上,有一艘充气艇的残骸,此前疑似移民试图登上该船穿越英吉利海峡但以失败告终。

最新的抵达人数使今年到目前的临时总数达到 14,128 人。

激励机制

内政部一名发言人表示:“本届政府正在严厉打击小船跨境行为,小船移民的遣除人数处于历史最高水平,避难申请量下降了 12%。

“我们已经遣除或驱逐了近 70,000 名非法逗留人员,增加了 41%,并将进一步消除吸引非法移民来到这个国家的诱因。”

移民因“手机存有儿童猥亵图像”被拘

一名在备受争议的克劳伯勒 (Crowborough) 移民安置点居住的寻求庇护者,因涉嫌持有儿童猥亵图像而被捕。

据了解,这些令人不安的非法资料是在该男子位于东萨塞克斯郡训练营的手机中发现的,该营地安置了约 5:40 名男性寻求庇护者。

国家犯罪局 (NCA) 确认,“一名 20 岁左右的男子于 7 月 10 日在克劳伯勒地区被捕,涉嫌持有儿童猥亵图像”。

一名消息人士透露,营地内的警员曾就保释条件与该男子进行交谈,但具体细节尚未公布。

国家犯罪局补充道:“在现阶段进一步发表评论是不恰当的。”

《每日快报》获悉,在关于此次逮捕的传闻在当地流传后,当地居民对内政部处理该事件的方式感到越来越不满。这些图像与克劳伯勒的儿童无关。

克劳伯勒副市长彼得·巴克利奇 (Peter Bucklitsch) 告诉《每日快报》,在面对内政部“轻视的回应且未能进行有意义的沟通”后,议会不得不就该事件向国家犯罪局寻求澄清。他补充道:“我感到愤怒且深感沮丧,克劳伯勒再次被 [内政部] 抛弃。”

“我们的居民完全有权期望,当营地发生严重事件时,他们的选出代表能够获得足够的信息,以安抚公众并回应合理的担忧。”

萨塞克斯警方表示,将继续为社区提供支持,并敦促有顾虑的人员与警员沟通。

内政部的一位发言人表示:“这是一份极其令人担忧的报告,国家犯罪局在调查过程中将获得我们的全力支持。”

空气污染大幅下降

“弃用燃气灶可减轻哮喘”

img-22.jpeg

作者:布莱斯·克洛兰 (BLAISE CLORAN)

研究表明,将燃气灶更换为电灶可以显著改善哮喘症状。

美国科学家发现,患者的平均状况得到了大幅改善,发作次数减少。

这意味着随着二氧化氮水平的下降,就医次数和请假天数也随之减少。

该研究在更换灶具前后,对 85 个家庭的哮喘症状和室内空气质量进行了测量。

来自俄亥俄州克利夫兰的 37, 岁男子保罗·摩尔 (Paul Moore) 在更换后,十多年来首次能够与孩子们一起打篮球。

他说:“这是一件如此之小的事情,却改变了我的生活。”

“这就像是从工厂搬到了乡村。”

这项研究由俄亥俄州凯斯西储大学的阿什·塞加尔 (Ash Sehgal) 教授领导。

他表示:“一名平均参与者的状态从中度哮喘症状减轻到了轻度哮喘症状。”

“卓越”的明星公关 Reading 逝世

作者:马特·尼克森 (MATT NIXSON)

传奇演艺圈公关尼尔·里丁 (Neil Reading) 在短暂患病后于 56 岁去世。

他的客户包括唐·法伦奇 (Dawn French)、伦尼·亨利 (Lenny Henry)、保罗·麦肯纳 (Paul McKenna)、约翰·克利夫 (John Cleeve) 以及已故的维多利亚·伍德 (Victoria Wood)。

img-23.jpeg

里丁在 22. 岁时创立了自己的公关公司。他成为了演艺圈的主要人物,助力了一系列西区热门剧目的推出,包括《上流社会》(High Society)、《只有傻瓜才在马车上》(Only Fools and Horses) 和《福尔第酒店》(Fawlty Towers)。

法伦奇称他为“我的盟友和坚定的保护者”,以及“一个老派的正派绅士,低调而卓越”。

喜剧演员杰森·曼福德 (Jason Manford) 表示:“他是我近 20 年来值得信赖的朋友,一个知心人,也是我所认识的最忠诚、最高尚且最才华横溢的人之一。”

伯纳姆再次宣布投入 £8.4bn 用于核潜艇...

安迪·伯纳姆 (ANDY Burnham) 宣布了英国核潜艇计划的下一阶段……而保守党则坚称这不过是对已达成协议资金的重复宣布。

首相在访问坎布里亚郡巴罗因弗内斯 (Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria) 时,确认将向英国的核威慑力量投资 £8.4bn。

白厅官员表示,这笔资金将支持数万个就业岗位和 22,000 个学徒岗位。

四艘新潜艇中的第一艘“无畏号”(HMS Dreadnought) 预计将于 2030 年代投入使用。

但这一声明迅速遭到保守党的否决。

影子国防大臣詹姆斯·卡特里奇 (James Cartlidge) 指出,这笔资金

作者:AARON NEWBURY 政治记者

已经在基尔·斯塔默 (Sir Keir Starmer) 爵士政府达成的国防投资计划 (Defence Investment Plan) 中得到了确认。

卡特里奇先生补充道:“虽然这看起来像是对国防投资计划中之前确认的资金的重新宣布,但我们仍然欢迎‘无畏号’计划的持续进展。”

他补充说:“令人担忧的是,关于战略国防审查的重大承诺——即采购‘最多 12’艘攻击潜艇——仍然没有任何细节。”

卡特里奇先生表示,伯纳姆先生

“由于未能承诺达到 3% 的具体路径(而这正是其财政大臣 [约翰·希利 (John Healey)] 在辞去国防大臣职务时所要求的),从而增加了不确定性”。

危险

在宣布这笔资金时,伯纳姆先生表示:“确保这个国家的安全是任何政府的首要责任——但安全不仅仅关乎我们建造了什么,还关乎谁在建造以及谁从中受益。”

他承诺:“英国的资金,将花费在英国工人、英国公司和英国技能上,花费在那些被冷落了 40 年的地方。”国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷 (Wes Streeting) 表示,在一个日益危险的世界中,潜艇对于“确保英国安全至关重要,是对我们对手的终极威慑”。

但绿党指责部长们优先级错误。

艾莉·琼斯 (Dr Ellie Chowns) 博士表示:“对于全英国的家庭来说,真正的安全并不意味着将数十亿资金投入到那些绝不能被使用的武器中。”她表示,政府应该专注于“挖掘清洁绿色经济的机会”,并警告不要“让我们深陷在冷战时代的技术之中”。

在 £8.4bn 中,£5.9bn 将交给巴罗的 BAE 系统公司 (BAE Systems),£2.5bn 将分布在整个英国供应链中。

首相因工人阶级背景而“觉得自己像个冒牌者”

安迪·伯纳姆在大学足球队期间

剑桥大学毕业生安迪·伯纳姆表示,当他看到同龄人凭借关系进入理想岗位时,他感到一种“冒牌者综合症”。

尽管他在大学毕业四年后就担任了已故工党议员特莎·乔维尔 (Tessa Jowell) 的研究员,并在此后不久成为了特别顾问。

伯纳姆先生在通过上个月的梅克菲尔德 (Makerfield) 补选获胜重返议会后,于近两周前就任首相。他表示,其职业生涯的初期深受在他想工作的领域缺乏关系和人脉的影响。

他说:“我通过亲身经历意识到,实际上往往是拥有关系网的父母决定了差异。我认为对于工人阶级背景的年轻人来说,可能需要更长的时间才能感觉到自己属于这里,并产生在房间里大胆发言的信心,因为在那种环境下,其他人的沟通方式似乎比你更有自信。”

作者:STEPH SPYRO

职场见习 (Shadowing)

伯纳姆先生在《吉米之未来工作》(Jimmy's Jobs of the Future) 播客中告诉吉米·麦克劳克林:“在英国任何行当中处于高级职位的人都应该提供职场见习机会。

“只要让一个年轻人,特别是那些背景可能与你没有关联的年轻人,进来,就在房间里待着。他们确实会感到‘冒充者综合征’,心想:‘好吧,我不应该出现在这里’。

“但事实是,一旦他们进入房间,他们就可以在那里。

“他们可以看到事情是如何运作的,信心也会随之建立。”

保守党指责首相在挑选内阁成员时未能建立一个“真正的精英管理体制”。

伯纳姆先生清洗了其前任基尔·斯塔默爵士的忠实追随者,并因任命韦斯·斯特里廷担任国防最高职务而面临批评,因为这位国会议员在该领域缺乏经验。

一名保守党消息人士表示:“某些任命中不仅有裙带关系的迹象。安迪如果想建立一个真正的精英管理体制,可能需要审视一下自己身边的人。”

贫困老人因 £3 账单被起诉

作者:TRISTAN KIRK

一名 86 岁的帕金森病患者,已不再开车或管理自己的财务,因六周未缴纳汽车税而被起诉。

这名来自纽卡斯尔地区的未具名老人被 DVLA(英国车辆执照局)起诉,尽管有人代表他支付了 £80 的罚款。

该男子的妻子患有阿尔茨海默症,他欠款 £3.34。

在给林肯治安法院的一封信中,他表示,由于拥有委托书的女儿搬家,他那辆福特 Fiesta 的年度 £20 税单不小心未被支付。

他表示,在 DVLA 给他写信时,他详细说明了情况,并通过邮寄方式承认有罪。

但该机构在“单一法官程序”(Single Justice Procedure)下不会看到他的减轻处罚申请,该程序允许治安法官在私下对轻微刑事案件做出裁决,随后该机构对其进行了起诉。

治安法官接受了他的认罪,对其给予绝对释放,并命令他向 DVLA 支付 £3.34 的赔偿金。

医生呼吁报告性虐待行为

作者:ELLA PICKOVER

顶尖医生呼吁建立一个匿名举报系统,以识别存在性行为不端行为的医务人员。

英格兰皇家外科医学院表示,由于担心后果,许多工作人员“仍然不愿”举报。

通用医学委员会 (GMC) 的数据显示,去年关于执业能力的担忧增加了 25%,达到 13,465 起。

其中 679 起案件经过调查,导致 160 次法庭审理——其中 90% 以上涉及不端行为(如不诚实或性行为不端)、刑事定罪或两者兼有。

英格兰皇家外科医学院院长蒂姆·莱恩表示:“性行为不端在医疗保健领域没有生存空间。

“自 2016 年以来,性行为不端案件在 GMC 上诉中占比超过 40%,这一事实表明了该问题的严重性。

“我们呼吁卫生和社会关怀部为 NHS(国民医疗服务体系)员工建立一个独立且匿名的报告机制。”

波兰斯基在“断头台”争议中被要求整顿政党

作者:AARON NEWBURY 政治记者

罗伯特·詹里克要求扎克·波兰斯基整顿他的绿党,此前有指称称波兰斯基分享的一张图片煽动了针对奈杰尔·法拉奇的暴力。

此前,政党领导人波兰斯基先生在社交媒体上分享了一张照片,照片中的一名男子穿着一件印有断头台图案以及“我们只是在为奈杰尔制定计划”字样的 T 恤。

波兰斯基先生在意识到后删除了该图片,但在接受一家国家广播公司的质询时,他多次拒绝道歉。

辞职

大都会警察局周三表示,将不对该政治家采取进一步行动。

英国改革党抨击警方免除波兰斯基先生责任的决定是“双轨制”执法的一个例子。

詹里克先生表示,“在这种情况下,警方选择不采取任何行动,这很奇怪”。

“告诉警察如何工作不是我的职责,”他补充道,但他表示已经有“许多

詹里克针对绿党发起抨击,并就首相“死亡税”发出警告

以往人们因社交媒体帖子而被捕的“例子”。

在被《每日快报》质问波兰斯基先生应如何清理其政党时,詹里克先生讽刺道:“嗯,我想,他可以辞职。”

他称绿党领导人为“一个卑劣之辈”,并要求其向法拉格先生道歉。他补充道:“一个体面的人在这种情况下会怎么做?会道歉,但他却无法强迫自己这么做。”

法拉格先生此前曾谈到,自从成为国会议员以来,他面临的安全风险有所增加。

改革党透露,他每月收到超过 300 封威胁信。

上个月,法拉格先生表示,政府提供的安保已被削减“到让我根本无法继续以原先方式运作的程度”。

然而,波兰斯基先生拒绝为该帖子道歉,将其称为一个“错误”,并坚持认为只有在“我是故意为之”的情况下才会道歉。

他回避了关于该帖子是否错误的后续追问,反而表示只有在法拉格先生就“他多次将他人置于危险之中”而道歉时,他才会道歉。

绿党坚称并未发生犯罪行为。一名发言人表示,警官们已经“审查了证据”并得出该结论。

他们补充说,这从一开始就“显而易见”,并声称改革党“一直将此作为政治足球,出于其自身阴险的目的,以转移人们对其自身可疑捐款问题的关注”。

大都会警察局拒绝就关于“双标”执法(two-tier policing)的指控发表评论。

詹里克先生是在首相安迪·伯纳姆宣布对社会护理改革进行审查后,在伦敦市中心举行的新闻发布会上发表上述言论的。

在活动中,这位改革党议员警告称,可能会出现一项 10% 的“死亡税”,他们声称伯纳姆先生尚未排除这一可能性。

詹里克先生表示:“我们将反对普遍性的死亡税。这不是为了反对而反对,而是因为它不公平、不切实际,且对这个国家的民众过于残酷。”

“英国将成为西方世界中将钱财传给子女最糟糕的国家。”

共识

“改革党认为,在你赚钱时被征税、储蓄时被征税、消费时被征税的钱,在安葬时不应被第四次征税。”

政府发言人表示:“没有此类计划。修复我们的社会护理体系需要建立广泛的共识。旧的政治运作方式阻碍了社会护理改革数十年。”

“我们目前的重点是共同努力寻找共识,并实施修复社会护理未来的必要改革,而不是强加某种特定的解决方案或税收。”

扎克支持的市长要求犹太领导人在10月7日前对双子城冷落事件做出回应

市长佐伊·加贝特 (Zoe Garbett) 与绿党负责人扎克·波兰斯基 (Zack Polanski)

一名在东伦敦黑克尼 (Hackney) 地方选举中获胜并受到扎克·波兰斯基赞扬的绿党市长,在给一名以色列城市领导人写信要求终止双子城协议,并设定10月7日为回复截止日期后,正面临要求其辞职的呼吁。

该日期标志着2023年哈马斯在以色列发动跨境恐怖袭击的时间,导致1,300多人死亡,另有250人被劫持。

本周,由绿党领导的委员会投票决定启动终止海法 (Haifa) 与黑克尼之间关系的进程,该关系可追溯至1968年。

在给海法同行约拿·亚哈夫 (Yona Yahav) 的信中,市长佐伊·加贝特引用了一份极具争议的联合国报告,称以色列“犯下了种族灭绝罪”,并补充说这个犹太国家“与我们的反种族主义价值观相悖”。

作者:理查德·阿什莫尔 (RICHARD ASHMORE)

加贝特女士表示,如果亚哈夫先生能在10月7日前就此事分享任何看法,她将不胜感激。

针对这一截止日期,英国犹太人代表委员会 (Board of Deputies of British Jews) 主席菲尔·罗森伯格 (Phil Rosenberg) 表示:“无论这是蓄意为之还是由于缺乏敏感性,这都是一个令人震惊的日期选择。”

黑克尼英以友好协会 (Hackney Anglo Israel Friendship Association) 主席马丁·舒格曼 (Martin Sugarman) 表示:“市长必须为此辞职并立即道歉。”

黑克尼议会的一位发言人表示:“我们为这种缺乏敏感性的行为道歉。我们最初将磋商期设定为10周。在我们注意到这个错误后,我们更改了截止日期。”

极端天气的代价

2,877 人死亡

处于装备中或

热浪中

img-27.jpeg

英国的极端天气预计将在今年造成记录以来最高数量的热相关死亡人数——且未来还将出现更严酷的情况。

一份新报告估计,在今年 5 月和 6 月的热浪期间,共有 2,877 例热相关死亡。据认为,其中 753 例死亡发生在 5 月底的春季银行假期周末。

相比之下,整个 2025 年夏季记录的“超额死亡”人数为 1,504 人。

昨晚,死亡人数继续上升,一名五岁儿童被发现死在伍斯特郡巴德西的一个水域中。

此外,一名在埃塞克斯郡弗里斯顿海岸海中陷入困境的男子也已死亡。两家家属均已收到通知。

与此同时,在萨福克郡的丹威奇荒野,超过 100 名消防员正在全力扑灭一场规模相当于 210 个足球场的山火,该火势已肆虐两天。

作者:JEREMY ARMSTRONG 和 MARTIN BAGOT

此次火灾已被宣布为重大事件。相关房屋 and 200 辆大篷车已被疏散,英国皇家鸟类保护协会 (RSPB) 表示,这片荒野可能需要 25 年才能恢复。

气象局警告称,8 月可能会“比往年更热、更干燥”。

英国健康安全局 (UKHSA) 报告称,今年以来由热浪引起的超额死亡人数已经是去年全年的两倍多。

UKHSA 报告作者 Ross Thompson 博士表示:“如果我们在这个夏天经历更多的高温时段,我们可能会看到记录以来最高数量的热相关死亡人数。”

“这些数据凸显了极端高温天气可能对人体健康造成的重大危险。”

“对于那些更脆弱的人群,包括老年人和患有潜在疾病的人来说,情况尤其如此。”

他表示,“随着气候变暖,我们可以预见高温时段将变得更长、更频繁且更极端”,并补充说,国家做好应对更高温度的准备至关重要。

威尔士自然资源局表示,目前整个威尔士已宣布进入干旱状态,本月有望成为自 190 年前开始记录以来最干燥的 7 月。

本周早些时候,英国部分地区经历了另一波热浪,并在周三达到顶峰,埃塞克斯郡里特尔的温度达到了 35. 摄氏度。

预计本周末将出现较凉爽的条件和部分降雨,但干旱地区预计不会如此。

伦敦帝国学院、气象局以及伦敦卫生与热带医学院在另一份报告中预测将有 2,700 例超额死亡——

欧洲野火蔓延,三名消防员丧生

作者:杰里米·阿姆斯特朗 (JEREMY ARMSTRONG)

在希腊野火夺走三名消防员生命之际,克里特岛已有超过 8,000 人被疏散。

其中两人在克里亚-弗里西 (Krya Vrysi) 附近扑救火灾时被困,随后在岛上丧生——当地风速达到了每小时 77 英里。

第三名消防员在大陆的吉赛奥 (Gytheio) 港口小镇附近丧生。

居民已于昨日获准返回。

与此同时,乔治·克鲁尼 (George Clooney) 透露,由于野火影响,他与妻子阿玛尔 (Amal)(两人均在左侧照片中)也是在法国被疏散的人员之一。

这位好莱坞巨星表示,他“不知道”他们位于法国东南部布里尼奥尔 (Brignoles) 的住所能否度过“这个可怕的时刻”。

在给该村村长迪迪埃-布雷蒙 (Didier Bremond) 的信中,这位演员补充说,他“致力于”支持重建工作。他写道:“我们是这个社区的一员,我们将参与使其恢复原貌。”

这对夫妇及其双胞胎孩子于 2021 年移居法国南部,并拥有法国国籍。

此次火灾烧毁了 247 英亩土地,远小于近日席卷法国西南部波尔多地区的大规模烈火。

西班牙、葡萄牙和土耳其也遭受了毁灭性火灾的沉重打击。

因凡蒂诺及其丑陋计划的终结

尽管足球有其种种不足,但它将我们凝聚在一起。而今天,欧洲在反对将世界杯及其他赛事出售给最高出价者的计划上,达成了一致。

考虑到国际足联 (FIFA) ——这一由詹尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 领导的管理机构——计划通过出让赛事股份来筹集 £3billion,这项“美丽的游戏”从未显得如此丑陋。

这些计划引起了震惊和愤怒。昨晚,在一次危机会议后,英格兰 (England) 加入其他欧洲足球协会联盟 (欧足联) 成员的行列,一致投票决定:如果该计划付诸实施,将抵制相关赛事——包括明年夏天的女子世界杯。

由于附加赛将于 10 月开始,此事绝不能被搁置或拖延。

正如欧足联所声明的:“世界杯不能被视为一种投资产品。它是足球最伟大的体育遗产之一。”

“其任何部分都不应交给私人投资者。世界杯并非商品。”

即便是在一个金钱至上的运动中,以这种方式出售世界杯也是不可想象的。

这种想法本身就应让因凡蒂诺领到一张红牌,他对比全球足球赛事的管理一直受到持续的批评。

我们忍受了补水暂停,我们忍受了唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 为其一名美国球员撤销禁令,我们还忍受了决赛中那场极其难看的、美式足球风格的延长中场秀。

够了。因凡蒂诺可能认为由于他与特朗普的关系而变得某种程度上不可撼动。但没有任何一个人能比这项运动更伟大。

公寓陷阱之战仍在继续

在失去父母的悲痛之余,被留下的兄弟姐妹们必须处理的相关安排可能会让他们感到不堪重负。

但很少有人预料到,他们会被困在官僚程序的泥潭中,并为此支付数万英镑的代价。

我们的“停止退休公寓陷阱”活动揭开了继承这些特种房产的受益人所经历的噩梦。

许多人面临着房屋价值下跌的问题——这是不断变化的房地产市场中不可避免的一部分。

但下跌幅度往往十分剧烈,而真正的痛苦在于,家庭成员不得不承担昂贵的物业管理费和惩罚性的市政税率。与此同时,这些公寓可能需要数年时间才能出手。

租赁产权知识伙伴关系 (Leasehold Knowledge Partnership) 慈善机构的塞巴斯蒂安·奥凯利 (Sebastian O’Kelly) 在将退休住房描述为“彻底的失败”时是非常精准的。他表示,大多数试图缩减住房规模的老年人如果选择租房,将会对他们的家庭有所帮助。

对于某些人来说,住在退休公寓可能是最佳选择,因为可以获得陪伴并使用特定的服务和设施。

但这些决定必须在清醒的情况下做出,并充分了解其潜在影响。

这就是为什么《每日快报》将继续推动立法,以解决限制问题并降低费用。

愿它成为水星音乐奖

他已经赢得了所有的荣誉,格莱美奖、全英音乐奖甚至一座奥斯卡奖杯,而现在,84 岁的保罗·麦卡特尼 (Paul McCartney) 正在角逐时髦的水星音乐奖。

尽管该奖项自 1992 年起就开始颁发,但这仍是这位音乐传奇首次获得提名。

走到今天经历了一段“漫长而曲折的道路” (Long and Winding Road),我们祝愿保罗爵士好运。

访问乌克兰

作者:威廉·沃尔夫 (William Wolfe)

每一次和平谈判

极右翼政治活动人士劳拉·卢默 (Laura Loomer) 持有一些大多数人认为极其冒犯的观点。她是一个“自豪的伊斯兰恐惧症患者”,强烈反对跨性别者,并且自 2022 年乌克兰与俄罗斯全面战争爆发以来,就一直激进地反对乌克兰。

我通常不会强调她的任何观点,除非是在她第一次访问乌克兰后,于上周发布的帖子里写道:“刚刚在乌克兰经历了我的第一次空袭。警报声大作。

“这是每个乌克兰人的日常。我觉得自己像个混蛋,在过去五年里低估了乌克兰人的挣扎。在乌克兰,有些人每天都必须跑向防空洞,而我们中有些人竟然厚颜无耻地说俄罗斯没有错,因为我们相信了‘乌克兰是一个充满纳粹同情者的国家’这个谎言。我们深受俄罗斯的宣传洗脑。”

我赞赏卢默这位忠实的唐纳德·特朗普支持者承认自己错了,但我之所以强调她的心境转变,是因为如此多的人,尤其是在美国,陷入了荒谬的俄罗斯宣传中——从“乌克兰从未作为一个国家存在过”,到声称其领导人是纳粹。

本周,泽连斯基总统再次访问美国,包括与特朗普会面,希望美国总统将推进和平谈判。这些谈判在一定程度上由于美国与伊朗的战争而有所减弱。

我最大的遗憾是,目前主持美国有限和平谈判的人员没有抓住机会访问基辅和其他城市,去亲眼看看乌克兰人民在面对俄罗斯无情轰炸时所展现的勇气和韧性。

我特别在想首席谈判代表史蒂夫·威特科夫 (Steve Witkoff),他近年来多次访问俄罗斯,以及贾里德·库什纳 (Jared Kushner)。

特朗普总统的女婿,他与威特科夫 (Witkoff) 共同参加了许多中东和平谈判。两人都对陷入停滞的乌克兰与俄罗斯之间的和平谈判负有责任,但令人惊讶的是,两人都没有访问过乌克兰。我相信威特科夫在处理巨额房地产交易时是一个精明的谈判者,但在协商和平方面的技能则被证明有所欠缺。

在 2025 年 3 月接受极右翼影响力人士兼播客主持人塔克·卡尔森 (Tucker Carlson) 采访时,威特科夫谈到了他在中东的角色。他表示:“现在我想近距离接触。这就是为什么我去了加沙。我是 22 年来首位前往加沙的美国官员。但如果你不去和平协议实施的地方,你如何执行一项和平协议呢?”

我知道在过去的两年里,威特科夫拒绝了多次访问乌克兰的邀请。同样,库什纳 (Kushner) 在这场全面战争期间从未访问过乌克兰,这场战争目前估计已导致 1.5 million 人死亡或受伤。

当然,并非所有共和党政治家都心胸狭隘,有些人确实访问了乌克兰以表示支持。

这些访问者包括共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆 (Lindsey Graham),他于本月早些时候去世。格雷厄姆与民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔 (Richard Blumenthal) 一起推动了《俄罗斯制裁法案》,如果该法案通过,将扩大对莫斯科的制裁范围。

基思·凯洛格 (Keith Kellogg) 是一位获得诸多荣誉的美国陆军退役三星将军,也是一名坚定的共和党支持者,去年他以特朗普总统特使的身份访问了乌克兰四次。

我去年采访了凯洛格,发现他确实对乌克兰持同情态度,因为他和我一样,认为这场战争是侵略者(俄罗斯)与受害者(乌克兰),以及正确(乌克兰)与错误(俄罗斯)之间的一场简单对决。

在全面战争期间,我访问了乌克兰 15 次,下一次访问已经安排好。我亲眼目睹了家庭如何被导弹和无人机袭击摧毁,听到了无数关于折磨战俘的叙述,并走访了恐怖战争罪行的现场。

我意识到美国政治家们很忙,但如果他们能花时间仅对乌克兰进行一次访问,我相信大多数反对乌克兰援助方案的人会意识到他们犯了错误。

事实上,我很乐意陪同史蒂夫·威特科夫 (Steve Witkoff) 和贾里德·库什纳 (Jared Kushner) 前往乌克兰,因为我相信他们会像劳拉·卢默 (Laura Loomer) 那样,在亲眼看到真相后,意识到他们接受俄罗斯宣传的错误。

改革英联邦的理想时机

英联邦运动会曾被称为“友好运动会”。今天,它们可能被更准确地描述为“被忽视的运动会”,因为这场每四年一次的体育赛事(目前正在格拉斯哥举行)缺乏公众关注、主流电视报道和顶级球星。

它们陷入无关紧要的境地,表明了英联邦内部深层的病态,因为这个组织正难以在21世纪中找到自己的定位。它被自身的矛盾和缺陷所拖累,在一个鄙视帝国主义的世界里,它成了大英帝国的遗迹。

然而,尽管对过去亲缘关系的怀旧之情依然存在,许多英联邦国家却过于急于利用英国的殖民遗产,通过推动大规模移民并就奴隶贸易提出赔偿要求。其中一项所谓的赔偿请求高达£18trillion——这一数额将使英国破产。

沉溺于后殖民时期的没收式委屈,不仅会摧毁这个国家,也会毁掉英联邦。但正如格拉斯哥的情况所示,英联邦已经陷入了严重的麻烦。危机感笼罩着运动会,顶尖运动员的退出和激烈竞争的缺失进一步加剧了这一氛围。

格拉斯哥没有责任。事实上,在原定主办方澳大利亚维多利亚州因成本升级而退出后,该市在举办精简版运动会方面做出了英勇的努力。2022年也是同样的故事,南非港口城市德班(Durban)出于财务原因撤回了主办承诺。

在伯明翰接受之前,没有一个地方愿意承担这一责任,尽管£770million的成本导致该市破产。这些

富豪团体要求征税之说不过是道德标榜

一个名为“爱国百万富翁”(Patriotic Millionaires)的自鸣得意团体向唐宁街发送了一封公开信,呼吁工党政府增加对富人的征税。不出所料,加里·利克尔(Gary Lineker)也是签署人之一。他说:“我们最富有的人可以做得更多,而且大多数人都想这样做。”

好吧,没有什么能阻止富有的进步主义者故意多缴税。事实上,在 2024/5, 财年,财政部就这样收到了 £505,000。

但是,与利克尔的说法相反,大多数百万富翁并不热衷于向英国税务海关总署(HM Revenue and Customs)上缴更多资金。这就是为什么在工党近期提高税收之后,他们中的许多人离开了这个国家,而其他人则利用复杂的财务安排来减轻其税务负担。对高税收的狂热不过是道德标榜。

这些困难是一个运营糟糕的机构的症状,该机构仅靠补贴和感伤主义维持生存。英联邦领导人与公众脱节,无法为其工作阐明愿景,只能靠谈论支持自由民主来敷衍。

但这种辞令是空洞的。诸如言论自由等基本人权经常被忽视。在超过一半的英联邦国家中,同性恋仍然是非法的。事实上,英联邦 2.7 billion 人口中,有超过 80% 生活在独裁政府之下,例如由萨米娅·苏卢胡·哈桑(Samia Suluhu Hassan)领导的坦桑尼亚政权,她是非洲第一位女性独裁者,在去年 11 月政治暴力横行的争议性选举中获胜。

英联邦甚至给予了像多哥和加蓬这样腐败的独裁政权成员资格,尽管它们与英国没有任何联系。

将英联邦视为一个全球议事场所的形象是一种幻想。由于其公民在这里拥有独特的定居权,

该组织成了英国社会变革的巨大引擎,鼓励数百万来自亚洲、非洲、中东和加勒比海地区的人在保留家乡文化的同时移民至此。

正是英联邦在一定程度上应对诸如掠夺性诱拐团伙崛起和伊斯兰着装规范传播等丑陋趋势负责,而我们城市政治中宗派主义和极端主义的增长,则是给予所有居住在这里的英联邦公民在我们的选举中自动投票权后的必然结果。

世界上没有其他任何国家以这种方式向外国人扩大选举权。这不是慷慨,而是自残。英国不应进一步让步,尤其是在赔偿问题上,而应向英联邦加大压力,以实现真正的改革。

伯纳姆首相必须掌控这场荒诞的海峡危机……而且必须快!

新任首相认为自己具有亲民特质。但在非法移民问题上,他最终可能会显得过于软弱。尽管他吹嘘内政部采取了“非常严格”的方法,但在他上任的第一周内,竟有不少于 881 名非法移民跨越海峡。

人口走私者显然并不惧怕英国的新领导人。相反,这些歹徒变得更加大胆。周二,一艘 42 英尺长的巨型充气艇从法国海岸出发,载有 165 名移民,这一总数轻松打破了本月早前创下的单艘船只载客 128 人的最高记录。

在许多其他政治问题上口若悬河的伯纳姆,在海峡危机问题上却奇怪地保持沉默。但英国公众不会长期容忍这种不作为。

选民们已经厌倦了对移民违法者给予的特权待遇,这些人由英国政府提供的支持和住宿条件,往往比遵守法律、纳税的公民更好。

在这种时节,这种不公正感尤为强烈,因为在海外度假的英国人面临着日益严格的审查和检查——而非法跨越海峡的人实际上却得到了边境管理局提供的免费渡轮服务。这种荒诞的局面不能继续下去。我们的边境完整性和公众对法律体系的信心正受到威胁。伯纳姆必须掌控局面。

William Hickey

— 自 1933 年起传递八卦

在得知《好伙计》(Goodies) 明星比尔·奥迪 (Bill Oddie) 享年 85 岁去世后,蒙提·派森 (Monty Python) 的埃里克·艾德尔 (Eric Idle) 公开表达了深切的怀念,但这让我想到,两人的关系在近年不幸地恶化了。

尽管埃里克现在回忆起两人在剑桥大学首次建立联系,更不用说两人都曾前往温布利球场见证英格兰 1966 年世界杯的胜利,但他此前曾坦言两人已不再联系。

“他生气了好多年,”艾德尔沮丧地评论道,“我不知道为什么。”

img-40.jpeg

在比较愉快的话题上,《好伙计》的同事格雷姆·加登 (Graeme Garden) 记得曾被说服与著名的鸟类观察者比尔一起去远足看鸟。“他告诉我我看到了一些相当罕见的鸟,但我自己没法确定,”现年 83 岁的格雷姆笑着说,“它们在远处看起来就是一些小小的、模糊的东西!”

在持续的酷暑之中,色彩鲜明的保守党资深人士迈克尔·法布里坎特爵士 (Sir Michael Fabricant) 提醒我们:“最后一位担任干旱部长的职衔的人是伯明翰人丹尼斯·豪威尔 (Denis Howell),在 1976 年……当时在他被任命后,立刻就开始下雨了。安迪·伯纳姆,你知道该怎么做!”

除了被 10 号首相府要求代表国家跳雨舞之外,已故的豪威尔还通过与妻子布伦达 (Brenda) 共用浴缸,为水资源配给贡献了一份力。

在揭露退休剧院经纪人迈克尔·怀特霍尔 (Michael Whitehall) 调皮地将他的新宠物可卡陪克犬命名为“奈杰·哈弗斯” (Nigel Havers) —— 因为他此前曾管理过这部《烈火之车》演员 —— 几周之后,据透露这只麻烦的小狗已被送走。

“它去参加寄宿制的犬类训练了,”迈克尔的演员妻子希拉里 (Hilary) 确认道,“我们询问他们是否能解决它乱咬人的情况。”

另一个奈杰是否也曾经如此麻烦?

经久不衰

在本周启动其 YouTube 频道后收到了一些不那么讨好的评论,霍莉·威洛比(Holly Willoughby)在尝试使用相关的网络术语时,还得面对十几岁女儿贝尔(Belle)的嘲笑。

“当我说道‘记得订阅’和‘敲敲小铃铛,你就会收到通知’时,我女儿一直在笑我,”45 岁的霍莉透露。

“她说:‘妈,你真的不知道自己在说什么。’”

迈克尔·帕林爵士(Sir Michael Palin)长期以来将巴罗-因-弗内斯(Barrow-in-Furness)视为英格兰中少数几个他尚未造访的地方——他顽皮地声称要把这里留给某个“特殊场合”——如今他再次让这座坎布里亚郡小镇的粉丝们感到失望。

这位 83 岁的长者在其即将开始的英国舞台巡演中显著地将巴罗排除在外,尽管此前他已收到大量当地人的邀请,希望这位英国最受喜爱的旅行者最终能将其从愿望清单上勾掉。

他距离这里最近的行程是布拉德福德(路程 90 英里)——难道不能安排一次快速绕道吗?

在数百万观众目睹他在《名人叛徒》(The Celebrity Traitors)中获胜九个月后,艾伦·卡尔(Alan Carr)仍然沉浸在以一名聪明对手为乐的快感中。

“斯蒂芬·弗雷(Stephen Fry),他很棒,非常聪明,”艾伦评论道,随后得意地说道:“但他不够聪明,不知道我其实是个叛徒!”

保罗·麦卡特尼爵士表示,在收到他有史以来首次水星音乐奖提名后,他感到非常激动。

这位 84 岁的披头士成员凭借《The Boys of Dungeon Lane》获得提名,这是他的第 24 张冠军录音室专辑,也是该奖项自 1992 年设立以来的第 11 张提名作品。

这张包含 14 首曲目的唱片以他利物浦童年家附近的一个地点命名,回顾了他加入“法布四人组”之前的岁月记忆。

麦卡表示:“能成为这样一个令人惊叹的名单的一部分,真是个绝妙且令人兴奋的惊喜。”

“《The Boys of Dungeon Lane》能与这么多优秀的艺术家和专辑一起获得认可,对我来说是巨大的荣誉。”

一名“魔鬼”母亲及其卑劣的情人因对一名 2 岁女孩实施虐杀和性侵而被判终身监禁。

伊莎贝尔·罗斯·威尔士在遭受数周恐怖虐待后死亡,她身上有 21 处骨折,随后在其家中因伤势过重昏迷不醒。

当这名幼儿因严重的脑损伤垂死时,亚历山德拉·沃克在谷歌上搜索“为什么我的幼儿在流血”,并抽了一根烟,随后才迟缓地拨打了 999 急救电话。

剧烈摇晃

沃克(Walker),26岁,及其男友哈里森·辛普森(Harrison Simpson),22岁,在蒂赛德刑事法院(Teesside Crown Court)经过审理后被裁定谋杀罪和虐待儿童罪名成立。辛普森还被裁定对该幼儿实施性侵犯罪名成立,而其恶毒的母亲则被判定该项指控不成立。

诺顿法官(Ms Justice Norton)于昨日对两人进行判刑,辛普森的最低刑期为28年零6个月,沃克的最低刑期为22年。

支持伊莎贝尔(Isabelle)父亲乔什·威尔士(Josh Welsh)的家庭成员出席了量刑听证会。

诺顿法官将伊莎贝尔受到的伤害描述为“虐待性的”,并称她的被杀害是

母亲及恋童癖男友因虐待杀害幼儿被判监禁

两人试图掩盖的一系列袭击行为中的最终结局。去年9月13日,伊莎贝尔在遭受最后一次严重的头部创伤后在家中昏迷,随后沃克在拨打999电话时声称该幼儿突然昏倒。

急救人员迅速赶往位于蒂赛德索恩比(Thornaby, Teesside)的家中,发现伊莎贝尔躺在楼梯底部,已无脉搏。

她被紧急送往医院,医生发现她的头部、颈部、腹部、背部及私处布满瘀伤。

她的尿布中含有血液,脸上带有呕吐物。尽管医疗人员尽了最大努力,但伊莎贝尔仍未能获救。她于9月14日去世。

尸检结果发现,她在死亡前曾被剧烈摇晃,脊柱过度伸展,且头部撞击过墙壁或地板等硬质表面。

检察官理查德·赖特(Richard Wright KC)表示:“在数周内,这个孩子一直遭受暴力袭击,而那次可怕的头部创伤导致她的死亡,仅仅是这场暴力行为的终点。”

自称学习法医专业的沃克在女儿去世前11天曾将其带到全科医生(GP)和医院就诊,当时发现伊莎贝尔的腿骨折了。然而,尽管部分医务人员表示担忧,该儿童仍被允许出院回到其母亲的照顾下。

这对杀手情侣因酗酒和药物问题而处于一种“不健康”的关系中。伊莎贝尔的祖母克莱尔·沃克(Claire Walker)对这个幼童日益恶化的健康状况感到“严重担忧”。

她说她的孙女看起来“脸色惨白”,并给女儿发信息询问是否需要帮她从 Asda 超市购买伊莎贝尔的用品。沃克回复道:“给我买十罐 Stella 啤酒缓解压力,还有尿布。”陪审团被告知,伊莎贝尔原本是一个快乐、健康的孩子,直到去年夏天她的母亲通过 Facebook Dating 开始与辛普森约会。

在对辛普森的行为产生怀疑(包括在未经允许的情况下给伊莎贝尔洗澡)后,沃克甚至在性犯罪者登记册上查询过辛普森,并向其母亲称他为“恋童癖”,但她仍继续与他约会。

克利夫兰警方(Cleveland Police)的侦查总警司(DCI)史蒂夫·查特顿(Steve Chatterton)表示:“这是我和我的团队处理过的最糟糕的案件之一。”

提前释放计划下被召回入狱人数超过获释人数

在工党决定提前释放 70,000 多名囚犯后,被召回入狱的罪犯人数创下纪录。

昨日公布的官方数据显示,在截至 3 月的一年里,共有 51,419 名囚犯因违反假释条件而被重新关押。这比前一年的 40,259 人增加了 28%。

在 1 月至 3 月期间,被召回入狱的囚犯人数(13,193 人)超过了提前释放的人数(12,977 人)——据信这是史上首次出现这种情况。

由内政编辑 MICHAEL KNOWLES 报道

数据还显示,自 2024 年 9 月政府采取紧急措施以解决监狱过度拥挤问题以来,已有 70,066 名囚犯被提前释放。

影子司法大臣尼克·蒂莫西 (Nick Timothy) 表示:“我们的刑事司法系统,尤其是监狱,依然存在真实且严重的问题,但工党的处理方式是最糟糕的。他们没有在法院改革和监狱扩建上下苦功,而是选择了最简单的方法:让强奸犯、儿童色情狂和严重罪犯提前出狱,并取消陪审团审判。”

“工党在没有计划的情况下执政,这体现在他们对刑事司法缺乏任何真正的解决方案上。”

“监狱的作用是通过惩罚、震慑以及将危险罪犯与公众隔离来发挥效用。”

“严重的暴力和性犯罪者必须被禁止参与工党这一灾难性的提前释放计划。”

其他数据显示,2025-26 年英格兰和威尔士共有 14 起监狱逃狱事件,高于前一年的 12 起,也是自 2019-20 年的 16 起以来最高水平。最近的所有逃狱事件均发生在押运过程中,其中 11 起发生在由承包商运营的运输车辆中。

在 30 天后仍有 4 人在逃——这同样是自 2019-20 年(当时为 8 人)以来最高的人数。

与此同时,2025-26 年有 192 名囚犯被错误释放,低于 2024-25 年创纪录的 312 人。此外,监狱记录到 1,497 起无人机事件,低于 2024-25 年峰值的 1,712 起。

一名曾任公务员管理人员的女性成为了全球首位接受一项针对晚期癌症先锋疗法的人,该疗法由英国医院主导的一项试验实施。

58, 岁的特蕾西·汤姆林森(Tracy Tomlinson)在六年前被诊断出患有卵巢癌,她希望这次治疗能让她多活几年,并能帮助他人。

这种名为 ZI-MA4-1 的治疗方法正在针对卵巢癌、肺癌、肉瘤以及头颈癌患者进行测试,这些患者通常已几乎没有其他选择。

曼彻斯特的克里斯蒂 NHS 基金会信托(Christie NHS Foundation Trust)主导了此次试验,伦敦的马登皇家医院(Royal Marsden)也参与其中。

该疗法通过利用自然杀伤细胞来摧毁异常细胞。它们的 T 细胞受体经过工程化改造,能够识别并攻击产生一种名为 MAGE-A4 蛋白的肿瘤,这种蛋白存在于多种癌症中。

该治疗药物是使用捐赠细胞提前制造的,而非个体定制。这意味着单个批次可以生产数百剂,从而降低成本并

英国母亲测试先锋癌症疗法

提高生产速度。汤姆林森夫人是一位来自大曼彻斯特郡查德顿(Chadderton)的已婚 1, 名子女的母亲,她此前已经战胜了重重困难。

她曾两次被告知癌症已消失,但随后病情又复发了。

积极面

她表示:“面对这一切很不容易,过程中有起有伏——有狂喜,有失望,还有介于两者之间的时刻。但我一直努力保持积极。每一天醒来都是一件积极的事。你必须拥有希望。”她去年被推荐到临床试验小组,并被告知她是一名合适的候选人。

“我几乎立刻就决定要尝试,”她说,“然后之后你会想,‘我这样做正确吗?’,因为成为世界上第一个接受该治疗的人确实有点令人恐惧。”

到目前为止,特蕾西(Tracy)在可能的四次治疗输注中已经完成了三次。她说:“如果这对我有益,那绝对太棒了。但如果它能在未来造福他人,那同样很重要。”

克里斯蒂医院(the Christie)的顾问医疗肿瘤专家菲奥娜·西斯尔斯韦特(Fiona Thistlethwaite)教授表示:“虽然这是一项早期研究,但它代表了在开发新治疗方案努力中令人兴奋的一步。”

同事乔·林(Jon Lim)博士说:“特蕾西基本上是在接受经过工程化处理、能够‘识别’她体内癌细胞的他人的免疫细胞。”他补充道:“我们感到非常兴奋。”

在英国经历夏季第四次热浪,且大群致命的亚洲胡蜂威胁英国蜂巢之际,蜜蜂陷入了困境。

熊蜂不仅是英国夏季珍视的标志,更是维持野生景观和关键粮食作物的重要传粉者。

然而,随着热浪变得更加频繁和剧烈,熊蜂种群数量急剧下降,因为它们在飞行时难以避免过热。

熊蜂保护信托基金会(Bumblebee Conservation Trust)的新数据显示,在 2022 年创纪录的高温之后,最常见的物种——红尾熊蜂、黄尾熊蜂和普通卡德熊蜂的数量下降了高达 35%。

城市养蜂人(The Urban Apiarist)的迈克尔·沃尔什(Michael Walsh)解释道:“在热浪袭击时,蜜蜂被迫停止采集活动,转而将所有能量用于给蜂巢降温。”

“在户外,情况更简单:蜜蜂会过热、耗尽能量并脱水,你经常会发现它们掉在滚烫的人行道上,疲惫得无法飞行。”

“一旦温度超过 36 摄氏度,幼蜂开始死亡,构成巢穴的蜡质也开始软化。为了降温,蜜蜂会在入口处扇动翅膀,取水四处喷洒,并聚集在蜂巢外部。这虽然有效,但极其消耗体力。”

遗憾的是,由于气候变化,这正在成为英国的新常态——专家们对未来深感担忧。

迈克尔说:“我们被告知要面对更炎热、更持久的热浪,而蜜蜂的生理结构并不适应这种情况。这是一个双重问题,因为高温还会使它们赖以生存的花朵枯萎,导致在它们最需要食物的时候,周围的食物反而减少了。”

而且,英国的蜜蜂还面临着另一个威胁——亚洲胡蜂。

迈克尔说:“养蜂人最担心的威胁就是……”

作者:汉娜·布里特 (Hannah Britt)

目前最紧迫的问题是亚洲胡蜂,它们在蜂巢外猎杀蜜蜂。单只亚洲胡蜂一天最多可吃掉 50 只蜜蜂,且它们在英国的数量正在增加。

“好消息是它们在这里尚未完全定居,因此每一个被举报的蜂巢都会被追踪并清除。”

一名养蜂人创造了一台全球首创的设备,旨在将亚洲胡蜂挡在门外。

住在达勒姆的约翰·查尔兹 (John Childs) 并没有使用拍蚊拍或杀虫喷雾来应对这些长 3 厘米的刺针,而是使用了他的发明:胡蜂电击器 (The Hornet Zapper)。

他的个人最佳记录是在 14 分钟内杀死了 11 只亚洲胡蜂。但他对此志在必得,希望杀掉更多。

该设备外观简单。一个蜜蜂形状的诱饵位于金属线上。它被放置在蜂巢前,在微风中前后摆动。它看起来毫无威胁,直到一只亚洲胡蜂决定发动攻击。

约翰说:“当它们扑向诱饵时,会遭到一千伏特的电击。这足以杀死这种捕食性胡蜂,但对人类是安全的,感觉类似于触摸电围栏。”

这种具有侵略性的、黄腿的亚洲胡蜂在 2004 年搭乘从中国发往法国的陶器运输船后,迅速传遍了欧洲中部、西部和南部。英国首次发现该物种是在 2016 年。

与通常体型更大、主要呈棕色且腹部有明显黄色条纹、不对英国蜜蜂构成威胁的欧洲胡蜂不同,亚洲胡蜂整体呈黑色,腿部为亮黄色,腹部只有一个黄色节段。

它们的体型比欧洲胡蜂稍小,但危险得多。

约翰说:“它们在蜂巢前盘旋,这种动作有时被称为‘盘猎’ (hawking),然后它们会捕获从觅食地返回的蜜蜂。

高温与胡蜂……英国蜜蜂面临的双重威胁

它们将蜜蜂肢解并带回巢穴。”

英国射击与保护协会 (The British Association for Shooting and Conservation) 正在牵头开展一项工作,以识别并消灭亚洲胡蜂巢。

一名发言人表示:“亚洲胡蜂对本土西方蜜蜂构成了巨大危险,因为后者在面对这种敌人时没有进化出任何防御行为。它们很容易沦为这些冷酷的亚洲捕食者的牺牲品,而且由于过于恐惧,它们往往拒绝离开灌木丛,随着蜂王停止产卵,整个群体不可避免地会崩溃。”

到目前为止,已知数量较低。2024 年有 71 起可靠的目击记录,摧毁了 20 多个巢穴。

但单个群体可以产生 350 只能够建立新群落的新蜂王,这凸显了种群数量爆炸式增长的速度之快。

这正是法国发生的情况,据估计那里有 500,000 个亚洲胡蜂巢。约翰说:“这对蜂蜜产量产生了严重影响,蜂蜜价格上涨,也给养蜂人增加了更多工作量。”

约翰在他的达勒姆市蜂蜜 (Durham City Honey) 蜂巢以及在法国测试了胡蜂电击器,初步效果良好且专利申请中。他现在希望寻找投资者。而对于蜜蜂来说,救援绝不能迟到。世界上有 20,000 种不同的蜜蜂,仅在英国就有 250 种,但这个数量正在以前所未有的速度下降。不过令人庆幸的是,专家认为阻止这种衰退还不算太晚。

迈克尔说:“每个人能做的最有用的一件事,就是通过免费的‘亚洲胡蜂观察’ (Asian Hornet Watch) 应用程序报告目击情况,或将照片发送至电子邮箱 alertnonnative@ceh.ac.uk。”

萨塞克斯大学保护生物学讲师艾伦·罗瑟雷 (Dr Ellen Rotheray) 博士表示:“我们中的许多人都处于可以提供帮助的理想位置。

“在花园里留出一部分区域让其自然生长,因为这将为蜜蜂和其他昆虫提供掩护。”

约翰希望在设备的生产和营销方面与制造商及营销商合作。请发送电子邮件至 ZapThatHornet@gmail.com。

对于所有仍然患有不可治愈的《周六夜狂热》病的迪斯科爱好者来说,这是一个好消息。

约翰·特劳沃尔塔在 1977 年电影中穿着的那套无可挑剔的三件式白色西装现正出售,正是这部电影将迪斯科变成了全球现象。

坏消息是,任何买家都需要比贫穷但有抱负的托尼·马内罗(特劳沃尔塔饰演的角色,他穿着这套衣服在灯光闪烁的舞池中施展魅力)拥有更深厚的财力。这套西装后来由电影评论家吉恩·西斯克尔所有,内衬上仍保留着特劳沃尔塔写给他的手写留言,预计在拍卖会上售价高达 £300,000。

对于口味较暗且预算较为有限的人来说,还有令人不安的兔子弗兰克服装(右图),出自邪典经典电影《唐尼·达科》,该片今年 25 周年。

但即便如此,该服装仍可能以 £150,000 成交。杰克·尼科尔森在 1980 年恐怖经典电影《闪灵》的雪地迷宫中携带的特技斧头被估价为 £76,000。

£150,000

作者:PIERRA WILLIX

来自《侏罗纪公园》的含有蚊子的琥珀化石可能以 £150,000 售出,而来自《哈利·波特与魔法石》中出现在魁地奇比赛中的原版金色飞球售价最高可达 £38,000。

£38,000

其他在为期四天的电影和电视道具、服装、制作材料及签名珍品现场拍卖会中的物品还包括:迈克尔·基顿在 1992 年《蝙蝠侠归来》中穿着的蝙蝠战衣,以及 2016 年漫威电影《美国队长 3:内战》中发光的钢铁侠上半身盔甲。

Propstore 在洛杉矶举办的夏季娱乐纪念品现场拍卖会(8月26日至29日)包括 1,700 多个拍品,预计总价值约为 £7m。

Propstore 的布兰登·阿林格表示,这次拍卖是一个拥有那些激励了全球观众之物的机会。

他补充道:“我们热衷于通过这些让故事栩栩如生的物件,来保护并分享电影和电视的历史。”

最高出价

在经历了一场跨大西洋的竞价战后,一名医生在英国首次攀登珠峰探险期间拍摄的惊人照片和记录的日记以近 £35,000 的价格成交。

亚瑟·韦克菲尔德医生(Dr Arthur Wakefield)加入了乔治·马洛里(George Mallory)的 1922 团队,但该团队在一次导致七名夏尔巴人死于雪崩的悲剧后未能登顶。

马洛里在两年后再次尝试,但在 38 岁时丧生。

韦克菲尔德在日记中描述了 1922 年的雪崩,写道:“在 2.15,我从写作中抬起头,看到北壁——就在刚才登山者还逗留的地方——变得完全洁白。”

作者:ED CHATTERTON

“意识到发生了灾难,我匆忙地召集了几个带着铲子、绳索和急救设备的[搬运工],并在 2.30 尽全力出发。”

“在 3.30,我遇到了正跑下来且精疲力竭的克劳福德 [Colin Crawford]。”

这位医生此前已经记录道:“整个攀登过程处处都是显然松散的巨石。”

珠峰之行

1922 年的探险队是首个使用瓶装氧气的人员,创下了 27,300 英尺的世界攀登高度纪录。

这也是首次有报告称在世界最高峰上出现死亡病例。

神枪手

这次英勇的尝试为登山者们赢得了 1924 年在法国阿尔卑斯山举行的冬季奥运会登山金牌。冒险家韦克菲尔德在第二次波尔战争中担任神枪手,并在索姆河之战期间担任医务人员,之后在 46 岁时加入了这次探险。他还曾在加拿大与英国传教士威尔弗里德·格伦费尔(Wilfred Grenfell)合作。

这位医生于 1949 年去世,享年 72 岁,他的档案直到最近才被其孙女从箱子中整理出来。该档案于周三在斯塔福德郡利奇菲尔德的 Rare Book Auctions 拍卖行售出。据估计,这九件拍品将至少拍得 £4,000。

五个珠峰相关包裹被一名英国收藏家买走,而四个涉及加拿大的包裹被一名美国买家买走。

便宜的蛋筒冰淇淋对经济拮据的父母来说是天方夜谭

在假期期间,父母平均每个孩子会花费近 £50 购买冰淇淋——其中 10 人中就有 1 人支付高达 £4 来买一个车载冰淇淋蛋筒。

这种经典冷冻甜品的平均价格目前为 £2.65。

但由于平均每个孩子在夏季每周会吃三个冰淇淋,这在为期六周的假期中总计达 £47.70。

一项针对 2,000 名 4 至 16 岁孩子父母的 OnePoll 调查显示,利兹是最昂贵的城市,平均价格为 £2.86,其次是伦敦 (£2.82)、布里斯托和曼彻斯特(均为 £2.80)。

作者:ZARA ZUBEIDI

父母们感受到了经济压力,三分之一的人承认他们为了让孩子能吃上冰淇淋而放弃为自己购买。

根据 Aldi 的研究,四分之一的父母甚至告诉孩子冰淇淋车已经卖完了,以避免这项支出。

父母们预计,整个夏天在外出就餐上平均将花费 £134,在假期俱乐部上花费 £105,在一日游门票上花费 £132。

我们正致力于提高残障人士的能见度

《布里杰顿》剧星 Gracie McGonigal、《格兰彻斯特》女演员 Melissa Johns 以及获得奥利弗奖的演员 Amy Trigg 讲述如何克服阻力和偏见,在舞台和屏幕上赢得成功

如果统计数据正确,且在任何时间点有 90% 的演员处于失业状态,那么残障演员的情况会糟糕多少?问问 Melissa Johns、Gracie McGonigal 和 Amy Trigg 就知道了,她们全部都是残障人士,且全部都在逆境中取得了成功。

36 岁的 Melissa 曾出演过《加冕街》和《格兰彻斯特》,她将自己描述为“一名患有肢体差异的残障人士”,出生时缺失右前臂和右手。她的父亲 Mike 是一名罗姆吉普赛人,当婴儿没有立即被还回妻子怀中时,他就感觉到出问题了。最终,Melissa 被交给母亲 Sara。

“去年10月我的女儿 Ottilly 出生时我 35 岁。我妈妈生我的时候 25 岁。她那时年轻且缺乏经验。我不责怪她觉得难以应对,我责怪社会。”

不可避免地,Melissa 在学校被嘲笑。“他们叫我‘独臂’。”她清晰地记得 7 岁时,年度圣诞剧在选角。 “我告诉一个女孩我很想演加百列天使。‘噢不,’她说,‘你不行。加百列有两个翅膀,而你只有一个胳膊’。我至今还能感觉到心中被重击的感觉。”

在青少年时期,Melissa 告诉她的父母她

独家报道

作者:Richard Barber

想成为一名演员。“他们完全不知道我在说什么。这是一个完全超出他们经验范围的世界。”

在第一次申请后,她获得了埃塞克斯郡 East 15 戏剧学校的一个名额,她将其描述为“神奇的三年”。她在 2012 年的年度展示中获得了 Niki Winterson 的青睐,Winterson 至今仍是她的经纪人,并为她争取到了 Graeae 的试镜机会。Graeae 是一家总部位于伦敦的机构,致力于支持聋哑、残障及神经多样性艺术家。

In 2016, Melissa 成了 TripleC 的创始成员之一,“这是一个为残障人士进入艺术和屏幕活动提供渠道的组织”。

随后她饰演了许多角色——在《医生》(Doctors)、《伤员》(Casualty) 以及一部名为《拦截者》(The Interceptor) 的剧集中出演,随后她在《加冕街》(Coronation Street) 中饰演女同性恋者 Imogen Pascoe。“我总是说,这个角色帮我打开了局面,”她说道。

但在长篇温馨犯罪剧《格兰彻斯特》(Grantchester) 中饰演 Scott 小姐这一角色时,其他所有成就都显得黯然失色。她饰演当地警察局干练的秘书,是能够掌控 Geordie Keating (Robson Green 饰) 的人。这部剧的第 11 季(也是最后一季)已经拍摄完成,将于新年伊始播出。

除了表演,写作也成了她职业生涯中的重要组成部分。她的处女剧《被夺走》(Snatched) 在英国巡演期间门票全部售罄,该剧探讨了身体形象、女性性欲以及一名残障女性在私密照片被黑客攻击并发布到网上后,在现代英国所面临的复杂处境。“我目前正与广播公司共同开发两部电视剧,非常享受创造那些以细腻、复杂且幽默的人为中心的故事情节,”她表示。

她认为自己是否曾因为残障而被拒绝出演某个角色? “嗯,他们不会直接告诉你,对吧?但我很确定我没能拿到某个角色是因为他们希望角色具有‘性感’特质。无论他们如何否认,有些人就是不认为残障人士能拥有活跃的性生活。”

演员 Gracie McGonigal, 24, 在经历了漫长而艰辛的分娩后通过剖腹产出生,她天生的一只手臂发育不全。“据说,一名护士在看到我的手臂时尖叫了起来,但这可能只是个传闻。手臂末端有一些骨骼,推测原本应该是我的手指。但没有人真正知道为什么手臂没有正常发育。

“妈妈当时很恐慌,觉得我可能无法进行游泳或开车之类的事情。但我的 Julie 姨妈采取了更积极的方式。她带着一份礼物出现在医院——一件婴儿比基尼。”

女孩时期,Gracie 参加了由演员 Amanda Redman 在伊灵区运行的一个当地周六戏剧俱乐部。Amanda Redman 本人在小时候不小心将一锅沸汤翻在自己身上,导致左臂三度烧伤。“她是一位伟大的老师,”Gracie 说,“那些课程点燃了我对戏剧的热情。”

由于她的中学没有戏剧课程,Gracie 进入了克罗伊登的 Brit 学校学习,那里是 Amy Winehouse, Adele, Tom Holland 和 Jessie J 的母校。

随后,她在南伦敦佩克汉姆的 Mountview 戏剧学校获得了基础课程的名额。课程结束时,她参加了多所戏剧学院学位课程的面试。

“一名面试官要求我,作为

对我身体力量的测试,做 20 个俯卧撑,这不仅残酷而且根本不可能。正如我指出的那样,我是来评估我的表演能力的,而且我的身体状况非常好,谢谢。”

In 2021, 她获得了在 Lyric Hammersmith 剧院演出的圣诞剧《阿拉丁》中饰演阿拉丁的弟弟 Wishy 的机会。次年,她在国家剧院的《 the Crucible》(熔炉)中饰演 Susanna Walcott。At Christmas 2022, 她在斯特拉特福德东皇家剧院饰演了《灰姑娘》的 titular 角色。

“我收到很多残障儿童家长的信息,说他们从未见过像我这样的人饰演那样的角色,这给他们的孩子带来了多少希望。”

2024年8月,她在《布里杰顿》第四季中饰演海泽尔(Hazel),一个风骚的下层女仆。“在故事中的某个时刻,我的手臂被提及了。女主人问我是否能胜任这项工作;她的丈夫说我当然可以。在那个时代,身体有缺陷的人应该很多。残疾并不是一种新现象。而且因为《布里杰顿》在全世界范围内播放,残疾也得到了呈现。”

去年4月,她在桑德海姆作品《森林深处》(Into the Woods)的复排版中获得了小红帽的角色。“我一直想演她。我喜欢她那种勇往直前的生活方式。我喜欢把她如此活泼的原因归结于她是由一个只有一只手的人来饰演的。”

“虽然剧中从未提及,但我告诉自己,这就是塑造她性格的原因。”

该剧在布里奇剧院(Bridge Theatre)成功演完后,将于今年9月转移至伦敦的诺埃尔·考沃德剧院(Noel Coward Theatre)演出。

去年7月,佩尼斯通和斯托克斯布里奇(Penistone and Stocksbridge)的工党议员玛丽·蒂德波尔(Marie Tidball)在议会发表了一场感人的演讲,反对削减残疾支持福利。

由于天生患有影响四肢的残疾,她反对减少个人独立支付金(PIP)和通用信贷(Universal Credit),并引用了她代表英国 17 million 残疾人的职责,其中一人就是被点名提及的格雷西(Gracie)。

“她指出,四分之一的人患有某种形式的残疾。但在艺术或媒体中,你仍然看不到这种广泛的呈现。我正在尽我的一份力,但还有很长的路要走。”

33 岁的演员艾米·特里格(Amy Trigg)天生患有脊柱裂。“我的背部是有覆盖的,但情况并非总是如此——脊髓也可能是暴露的——但我的背上有一个非常明显的肿块。我现在依然有,”她说道。

“我很小的时候学会了在走路时将脚向外翻,但随着年龄增长,我的活动能力下降了。”

到八岁时,艾米变成了全职轮椅使用者。她在学校里遭受了相当程度的欺凌。“我记得孩子们把棍子插在我的轮椅辐条里。有一次,所谓的‘朋友’把我推到操场中央,但当我回头看时,他们已经偷偷溜走了。正是戏剧引领我找到了至今仍保持联系的朋友。”

她最终在芒特维尤(Mountview)获得了一个名额,成为首位在表演课程中接受培训的轮椅使用者。她的第一份剧院工作是 2016 年在诺丁汉演出的《玻璃动物园》(The Glass Menagerie)。随后,她在皇家莎士比亚剧团的《量体裁衣》(Measure for Measure)和《驯悍记》(Taming of the Shrew)中饰演角色。

艾米同时也是一名电视编剧(作品包括《拉尔夫与凯蒂》、《有毒之镇》),她的首部剧作《你不该爱我的理由》(Reasons You Shouldn't Love Me)赢得了 2020 年女性剧作奖,目前正在开发电视版。

但真正改变局面的是音乐剧《小而大的事情》(The Little Big Things),她与格雷西共同主演,该剧改编自在跳水事故中瘫痪的亨利·弗雷泽(Henry Fraser)的回忆录。艾米随后凭借此剧赢得了奥利维亚奖音乐剧最佳女配角奖。

“父母在观众席里感觉很酷。在成长的过程中,我让他们承受了很多,不仅是所有的医疗问题,在我青少年时期,他们还忍耐地看了一些非常痛苦的演出。”

她还有另一件事要感谢《小而大的事情》。正是在那里,她遇到了并爱上了同剧组演员乔丹·本杰明(Jordan Benjamin),后者近期出演了热门音乐剧《汉密尔顿》(Hamilton)。

他们于去年9月结婚,艾米对此感到无比幸福。

“我从未向全能的神挥拳愤怒。如果我不是在脊柱裂的情况下长大,我不可能完成我所做的一半事情。我的残疾与我的身份是无法分开的。”

“不过,如果我不承认有时生活很艰难,那就是在撒谎。我倾向于这样描述:这是一个糟糕而又美好的生活(a sh*t and wonderful life),这句话出自我的第一部剧作。”

“但是,如果我的生命可以重来,我还是会选择同样的人生;这句话出自《小而美的事》(The Little Big Things)。这是我和乔丹刻在结婚戒指上的话。”

一只被发现被遗弃的、顶着“朋克发型”的苍鹭雏鸟在经过两个月艰苦的康复治疗后,已被重新放归野外。

英国皇家动物保护协会 (RSPCA) 表示,除了拥有抢眼的发型外,赫蒂 (Hetty) 在西约克郡的一棵树下被发现时,似乎对自己身处困境感到有些愤怒,看起来像是在侏罗纪恐龙时期的动物。

她是进入 RSPCA 位于柴郡南特威奇 (Nantwich, Cheshire) 的 Stapeley Grange 野生动物中心的最小苍鹭雏鸟,体重仅 10.5oz,此前她在 4 月被 Kirklees Valley 野生动物救援队的志愿者救起。

其高级临床医生梅兰妮·查普曼 (Melanie Chapman) 表示:“赫蒂到达时非常小——只有几天大——但这只顶着朋克发型且愤怒的雏鸟赢得了我们的喜爱和崇拜。我们为她制定了一个计划,这需要团队的专项努力。”

“这些鸟类有极其特殊的生理需求。所有工作人员都被她迷住了,我们在她成长过程中屏息以待,因为苍鹭经常患有影响骨骼和关节的疾病。”

“我们发现她似乎出现了名为‘天使翼’ (Angel Wing) 的病症迹象,但我们仔细地为她的翅膀包扎了。她的翅膀痊愈了,羽毛也恢复了防水性能。”

“在将她装入箱中准备放归时,我们心中充满了不舍。”

志愿者们将继续监测她的进展。

SOS 呼吁停止刺猬在道路上被撞死

作者:艾米莉·比曼 (EMILY BEAMENT)

在研究发现近三分之一的刺猬死于道路之后,房主们或许能够挽救刺猬。

环保人士对四个刺猬种群进行了 18 个月的观察,发现每年高达 29% 的刺猬被车辆碾压。

15 或更少的较小群体,恢复数量的能力较弱。

而损失较大的较大种群则能够抵消这些损失。诺丁汉特伦特大学 (Nottingham Trent University) 的研究还发现,被碾压的刺猬大多为雄性。

自 2000 年以来,农村地区的刺猬数量骤降高达 75%,使其面临灭绝的危险。它们受到栖息地丧失、

新婚夫妇强势回归,用魅力俘获观众

本周的大作《蜘蛛侠:崭新之日》在漫威电影宇宙中占据了令人印象深刻的第 38 位。汤姆·荷兰 {Tom Holland} 第 4 次饰演彼得·帕克 {Peter Parker},他早在 2017 年的《返校日》中就完成了首秀,并在那里结识了现在的妻子赞达亚 {Zendaya}。这一次,世界已经忘记了他的存在,因此他匿名保护纽约市并调查一个强大的新威胁。

Bafta 奖得主汤姆(30 岁)告诉《 Esquire》杂志,在塑造彼得的故事时,他采取了更加坚定的立场。“我很幸运,粉丝们一直很直截了当地表达他们热爱这个系列的地方。”

“我喜欢为这个角色挺身而出,确保我们做出的决定是对 [他] 最好的。”

在接受 KinoTV 采访时,他补充说,随着时间的推移,他感到拍摄这些电影的压力在增加:“[我] 并不一定完全理解这些电影所处环境的赌注、范围和规模。我想在第三部

“很多人与这个角色产生共鸣,汤姆以优雅的方式处理了这一切”

电影上映后,这次在踏入片场饰演蜘蛛侠时,是我最紧张的一次。但你知道,正因为这些紧张感,成就感也随之翻了四倍。”

艾美奖和金球奖得主赞达亚(29 岁)同样告诉 KinoTV,她认为她和合作演员在饰演这些角色期间,随着时间的推移而变得更加自信:“我们带着极大的喜爱和喜悦回顾过去,但同时你也会觉得,‘我的天,我那时简直就像个婴儿’。你懂我的意思吧?所以,我认为这是一种智慧。”

她继续道:“很多人与这个角色、与彼得·帕克、与蜘蛛侠产生共鸣,尤其是年轻人。我认为 [汤姆] 以非常优雅的方式承担了这份重量,他真的很热爱并关怀这个角色以及 [他] 对其他人的意义,并且意识到当你面对这些孩子时,你就是蜘蛛侠。对他们而言,你就是那个英雄。”

Wallace & Gromit: 兔祸降临 (WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT) 分级 0, 现正上映 ★★★★★

总部位于布里斯托的定格动画巫师 Aardman 确实是顶尖的(抱歉,格罗米特!)。为了纪念该工作室成立50周年,这部由同名热爱奶酪的普通人和他机智的宠物犬主演的、曾获奥斯卡和英国电影学院奖的处女长片重新回到了电影院。

正如华莱士在吃完一口温斯利代尔奶酪后可能会说的那样,这真是“太棒了”。

距离一年一度的巨型蔬菜比赛仅剩几天,华莱士(由彼得·萨利斯配音)和格罗米特的人道害虫防治公司“反害虫”(Anti-Pesto) 业务兴隆。每当有毛茸茸的小动物闯入花园或温室,这对搭档就会迅速抵达现场,配备网兜或 Bun-Vac 6000 吸尘装置。

当一个巨大的类兔生物开始摧毁镇上的蔬菜地时,公司的运气急转直下。比赛主持人托廷顿夫人(海伦娜·波汉姆·卡特 饰)恳请华莱士和格罗米特抓住这个长耳朵的怪物。为了确保成功,她还雇佣了维克多·夸特梅恩(拉尔夫·法恩斯 饰)来猎杀这个庞然大物,从而引发了两名追求者之间的激烈竞争。

这是一部喜剧、动作和浓郁奶酪的欢乐融合之作。编剧引用了经典恐怖电影,例如牧师用蔬菜做一个十字架来驱除可怕的“兔人”。仔细观察——每一帧都充满了古怪的细节,比如华莱士的书架(《埃达姆之东》、《磨碎的期待》)或者那个存放着不幸英雄们的“中年铺展”黄油罐的冰箱。

动画质量令人惊叹。格罗米特的眉毛从未如此生动,最后的序列是一次胜利,涉及各种交通工具和一段慢动作镜头。

魔鬼之口 (THE DEVIL'S MOUTH)

分级 15,现已在 PRIME VIDEO 上映 ★★★

正当你认为重新回到水里是安全的时,导演杰夫·沃德洛将五名美国大学毕业生困在了一个泰国洞穴系统中。不久前,一场暴雨将一条凶猛的公牛鲨冲入其中,使这只具有领地意识的捕食者被困在了一个布满锋利岩石的迷宫隧道里。

编剧艾贾·加贝尔和明·乔·韦斯纳在将这组小型演员阵容化为“鱼饵”的方式上非常直接,很早就确定了谁在片尾字幕之后可能值得生存。

艾德里安(汤米·罗斯)和她的男友格雷格(加文·卡萨莱格诺)、麦克斯(拉娜·康多尔)和她的男友詹姆斯(尼科·比拉加),以及胆小怕事的第五个成员萨拉(凯瑟琳·牛顿),都决定在被迫接受成年人的责任之前,享受最后的夏天狂欢。为了纪念萨拉已故的父亲,他们前往泰国,并在信任的向导瓦特(泰姆·塔普提通)的带领下,划皮划艇进入一个偏远的洞穴系统。当这些闯入者意识到一个沉默的杀手正在跟踪他们,且每一条逃生路线都需要他们游向或溅向光亮时,恐慌随之而来。

《恶魔之口》(The Devil's Mouth)是一部高效但可预测的生存惊悚片,它迅速地勾勒出这几位 20 多岁的主角,并在第一次明显预示的攻击前制造分歧。

在开场 30 分钟内的一句关键对话引发最终决战之前,沃德洛提升了流血冲突的强度。

LOVE ME

分级 15,现正上映/自周六起在 DRY CINEMA 上映 ★★

如果一个来自异世界的生物首次访问地球,选择通过搜索互联网和社交媒体帖子来快速了解人类,那么它对我们这个物种的持久印象会是什么?

img-109.jpeg

这就是已婚电影制作人萨姆和安迪·祖切罗在他们大胆的处女长片中提出的艰涩存在主义问题。

《Love Me》是一部古怪的浪漫片,故事发生在似乎是核末日将智人从地球表面抹除数百万年之后。

冰盖已经融化,到处都是水,但没有人能喝上一滴。

一个被赋予拟人化特征(拥有一只眼睛)并由克里斯汀·斯图尔特配音的金属浮标,在波动湛蓝的海面上漂浮,寻求一次电信类的“近距离接触”。该浮标与一颗在头顶飞驰的卫星(由史蒂文·性原配音)建立了联系,而这颗卫星恰好加载了大量可搜索的网页和 YouTube 视频。

这些无生命物体通过研究 VLOG 博主情侣德贾和利亚姆(同样由斯图尔特和性原饰演)的互动,并复制他们往昔的爱情故事及其各种动荡,从而像《机器人总动员》(WALL-E)一样发展出“人类”人格。

《Love Me》拥有崇高的创意雄心,但尽管采用了一个些时髦的风格点缀试图从数字泥潭中筛选意义,祖切罗夫妇的这部电影在情感回报上却很低。

剧本放大了关于在线恋爱虚假性的警告,但德贾和利亚姆这两个角色无论是对于片中角色的勤奋研究,还是对于我们的时间,都显得不够分量。偶尔,离经叛道的幽默感与沉重的灵魂拷问之间产生了不适的摩擦。在世界的尽头,只有陈词滥调的信息过载。

蜘蛛侠:崭新之日 (SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY)

分级 12L 现正热映 ★★★★

巨大的责任伴随着巨大的悲伤与隐隐的悔恨。汤姆·霍兰德第四次担纲纽约“好邻居”蛛网侠的领衔主演,影片以特效十足的轰鸣开场,却以一声痛苦的低吟收尾。

对于一个为了保护所爱之人而放弃一切的受折磨的英雄来说,这样的叙事轨迹显得恰到好处。在漫威漫画 sprawling 的多元宇宙中,地球-616 的战争要求做出牺牲;而对于这个版本的蜘蛛侠而言,在失去家人与友情的陪伴后,自我毁灭就像黑霉一样蔓延。

得益于奇异博士的施法,世界已经忘记了彼得·帕克(汤姆·霍兰德 饰)过着秘密的双面生活。

心爱的 MJ(赞达亚 饰)和最好的朋友内德(雅各布·巴特伦 饰)不再拥有关于彼得的珍贵回忆,这位孤独的罪恶斗士在努力与两人保持情感距离。

在独自前行的过程中,彼得由于其变异的人类-蛛形纲 DNA 而经历了剧烈的转变。在布鲁斯·班纳(马克·鲁法洛 饰)的指导下,他试图压制心中潜伏的黑暗面,而此时一个强大的威胁正出现在大苹果城。只有彼得能感知到这种阴险的存在。邪恶的源头威胁要伤害 MJ,于是彼得与资深的义警弗兰克·卡斯特(又名惩罚者,乔·伯恩索尔 饰)联手保护她。

《蜘蛛侠:崭新之日》是彼得进化过程中一个令人振奋的新篇章,也是霍兰德迄今为止穿着紧身衣履行职责的过程中,在情感上最丰富且最令人满足的一次探索。在《蜘蛛侠:没有路回家》成为该系列最高票房单片后的五年里,这位演员花费了无数月日浏览网络论坛,以了解粉丝的需求。

他将这些情报反馈给了回归的编剧克里斯·麦肯纳和埃里克·索默斯。他们交付了一个精炼、强有力的成长故事,其中穿插着震撼的动作场面,毫无保留地向粉丝致敬,并明显地为今年 12 月《复仇者联盟:末日》中一场灾难性的超级英雄对决铺路。

塞迪·辛克精彩的配角表演 complementary 了霍兰德震撼人心的演绎。他在几场戏中将角色的内心剖析得淋漓尽致,并与伯恩索尔饰演的粗汉之间产生了一种令人愉快的、充满粗口的双人喜剧化学反应。得益于灵活的剧情操纵,赞达亚展现了 MJ 的多面性,而巴特伦虽然戏份不足,但带来了受欢迎的喜剧缓解效果。

导演德斯汀·丹尼尔·克雷顿证明了他在执导这部惊险的漫威漫画起源故事时,其镜头功力绝非偶然,也证明了《尚气与十环传奇》并非运气。

一场在格拉斯哥街道上(替代纽约)拍摄的、关于失控装甲车的离奇动作序列并未令人失望;而蜘蛛侠与忍者犯罪辛迪加“手”之间那场挑战重力的决战,则是一场由闪烁的刀刃、杂技和手里剑组成的视觉盛宴。

那些邪恶的战士们使用旋转手里剑多次失手,但《崭新之日》却以凶猛且精准的姿态击中了其预定目标。

ISH

分级 15, 现正上映 ★★★★

由摄影师 Jermaine Canute Edwards 以极具冲击力的黑白影像拍摄,《Ish》是对现代男性气质、边缘化和文化认同的深刻研究,其框架设定为两个 12 岁男孩在卢顿(Luton)这个文化熔炉中的成长故事。

核心人物受困于 9/11 之后的反恐战略(如 Prevent 计划),而多领域艺术家 Imran Perretta 的这部引人入胜的导演处女作,通过痛苦的个人经历,为童年的天真敲响了丧钟。

Ishmail(Farhan Hasnat 饰)在父亲 Naeem(Avin Shah 饰,在附近的机场工作)、姐姐 Samira(Joy Crookes 饰)和祖母(Sudha Bhuchar 饰)的陪伴下,为失去母亲而悲伤。最好的朋友 Maram(Yahya Kitana 饰)与他的巴勒斯坦之根有着深厚联系,并为他提供了安慰之词。

然而,来自加沙的恐怖新闻故事让 Maram 冷静地意识到,在男孩们打闹和采摘黑莓的田园诗般生活之外,还存在着残酷的现实。一次创伤性的警察拦截搜查打破了泡沫:Maram 被逮捕,而 Ish 在极度恐慌中逃跑,抛弃了他的战友。

《Ish》由 Perretta 与剧作家 Enda Walsh 共同创作,挖掘出了非专业演员 Hasnat 和 Kitana 的惊艳表演,两人在现实生活中自 3 岁起就是朋友。

这种天生的亲密感为 Ish 和 Maram 关系中稳定且不可避免的崩塌增添了一抹真实的光彩。Perretta 这部及时之作自信地游走在日益上涨的反穆斯林暴力浪潮中,并承认并非每个人都能在水中保持头部不被淹没。

Ola Labib

这位英苏穆斯林喜剧演员揭秘她是如何克服霸凌、种族主义和网络喷子的

多年来,苏丹籍单口喜剧演员 Ola Labib 一直用幽默来化解种族主义的嘲讽和偏见。“我经常被喷,”这位在喜剧界开辟出自己道路的女性说道,她的经历从开放麦表演一直延伸到成为首位在 O2 体育馆演出的黑人苏丹穆斯林女性。“网络喷子简直占据了我职业生涯的 90%!但随后我会制作回应喷子的视频,而这些视频能获得数百万次的观看。”

37 岁的 Ola 表示,她仍然会遇到种族主义。“在 2000 年代初期情况有所缓和,但在过去三四年里,情况达到了最糟糕的程度。”这位喜剧演员表示,社交媒体和反移民宣传对此并没有帮助。

“我认为这是我第一次真正考虑搬到另一个国家生活。”

Ola 出生并成长于朴次茅斯,她在书中讲述了在严格但充满爱的苏丹穆斯林家庭中长大的经历。在她的回忆录《如何不过双面生活》(How Not To Lead A Double Life)中,她还探讨了如何平衡严格的伊斯兰价值观、非洲传统和英国文化,并讨论了她通往幸福的路径以及她与 Kashta 的婚姻——后者以美国说唱歌手 Ramey Dawoud 之名而闻名,两人在苏丹结婚。

“我相信幽默和喜剧是将信息传达出去且不至于让人难以消化最好的方式,”Ola 说道。她根据自己多年的药剂师经历创作的半自传体喜剧试播集《药房》(The Pharmacy)去年在 Channel 4 播出。

她在书中强调,她感觉自己就像在过双面生活——对家人和社区来说,她不够“苏丹”;而对于周围的世界,她又不够“英国”,无法完全融入。她在 10 岁时开始佩戴希贾布(hijab),这并非出于深层的宗教动机,而是因为她在周六的伊斯兰学校里遇到了一些同样佩戴希贾布且酷而时尚的大姐姐。

在学校里,她很快意识到最好的防御就是幽默。“如果我能让人们笑,我就安全了。幽默让他们站在了我这一边,我在社交方面也开始变得活跃,”她回忆道。

她说,她被霸凌主要是因为长相不同。“我在年鉴里放了一张我五年级时的照片,当时我是全级唯一的有色人种。”

她透露,其中一名霸凌者最近在 Facebook 上联系了她。“他说:‘噢我的天,我刚在《名人无用之问》(Celebrity Pointless)里看到你了。你还记得我吗?我们以前科学课坐在一起。’我没有回应,但在心里我想:‘是的,你让我痛苦了两整年’。”

“如果我能让人们发笑,我就安全了”

虽然在年轻时,她对他认为的缺乏自由之感十分反感,但如今她的看法有所不同。

“当你年轻时,你会将其解读为缺乏自由,但随着年龄增长——我现在结婚并安定了下来——我回顾过去,发现他们(父母)给予你的自由,是他们认为能保护你免受外界影响的自由。”

“他们不想让你太晚出门,是因为他们害怕你出事。所以,我不一定将其视为缺乏自由。”

奥拉(Ola)在朴次茅斯大学学习药学,但最终转向了喜剧事业。这引起了她母亲的极度反感,母亲说通过做这个“东西”(她不愿亲口说出“喜剧”二字),奥拉给家庭带来了耻辱和尴尬。

“对她来说,重点不在于这是喜剧。我认为她是担心人们

img-113.jpeg

会怎么说,因为这太不常规了。让父母开心对我来说非常重要,”她继续说道。“他们非常慈爱,希望我拥有最好的生活,并在我人生最黑暗的一些时刻将我拉了出来。但有时面对父母会有压力,你会为了他们的幸福而牺牲自己的幸福。”

在 O2 体育馆演出后,奥拉表示:“喜剧这种感觉很难描述。当我参加开放麦表演时,你会觉得自己处于世界之巅。你生活中不再思考任何事情,除了想要给观众带来娱乐。你不希望演出搞砸,你想要让人们发笑。对我来说,它变得像一种药物,一种逃避现实的方式。”

起初,奥拉并不希望她的社区知道她在表演喜剧。“但当我演出 O2 时,人们如此支持,让我感到非常震撼。就像在说,‘噢,现在我们终于在英国有代表人物了’。这完全出乎我的意料。”

她回忆道,三年前苏丹爆发内战时,奥拉停止了演出并陷入了抑郁。对于她的家人以及所有有相关联系的人来说,那是一段艰难的时光。

“后来,因为我参加了喜剧筹款活动,我发现表演——哪怕只有五分钟——能让你暂时忘记痛苦。这就像是一种治疗。”

她说,如今她和丈夫住在朴次茅斯的父母家附近,她的社区依然至关重要。当她在最后一次巡演期间在该市演出时,她原以为他们不会出席。

“当社区的人们出现在我的演出现场时,他们中的大多数人甚至听不懂我在说什么。但他们是为了支持我而来的。”

奥拉目前与 BBC 和 Channel 4 有一些开发中的项目,并为另一本书写了提案。“我是一个来自海滨小镇的苏丹女孩,父母是工人阶级。”

“关于如何获得成功,外界存在着如此之多的可能性。”

在巴基斯坦的一次人质危机中,如果她能生存足够长的时间,将有机会赢得权力者的青睐。

那个不在场的女人

作者:WILLIAM MISSET,精装本,£16.99

畅销犯罪小说作家玛丽安·莱恩(Marian Lane)是“晚餐女教师侦探”麦迪·马龙(Maddie Malone)系列的创作者。在提交了一部低于水准的该系列最后一部大作手稿后,她正面临编辑和经纪人的愤怒。

然而,当警方在一次文学节上将她从舞台上带走,告知她的丈夫戴恩(Dane)在家里发生的一场神秘火灾后被发现因芬太尼过量而死亡时,之前那些担忧显得微不足道。

在这封写给犯罪小说的精妙情书中,玛丽安突然被抛入了一个与她自己创作的那些畅销书一样令人费解的谜团之中。当一名神秘女子出现在她门前,声称在戴恩最后的时刻给予他安慰时,事情变得更加诡异。然而没有人看到过她,玛丽安很快意识到事情并非表面看上去那样简单。

这部作品出自热门《表演者侦探》系列创作者之手,是一部情节曲折的独立小说。9/10

全员杀手

作者:DAVID FENNELL,精装本,£20

大卫·芬内尔(David Fennell)在创作了极其阴暗的格蕾丝·阿彻(Grace Archer)督察系列并成名之后,在这部极具娱乐性的全新独立小说中,带领读者开启了一场满载乐趣的航程。

在豪华的“大西洋之珠”号邮轮上,有些事情显得非常可疑,而且这一次可不是指自助餐。乘客们并不知情,神秘的“午夜合唱团协会”实际上是一个连环杀手大会的幌子。

同样从南安普顿前往纽约的还有好莱坞明星、热门电视剧《女士侦探》系列的雅奎·杜莱(Jacqui Dulae),以及挣扎在困境中的作家玛莎·哈蒙德(Martha Hammond)——后者为了给雅奎代写新书,放弃了在Greggs的一份工作。两人在并不太和谐的氛围中忙碌着,直到一起残暴的谋杀案迫使她们进行一场真实的调查。在一艘满载嫌疑人的邮轮上,这场极其幽默的谋杀之谜拉开了序幕。8/10

威尼斯造刀匠

作者:DAVID GILMAN,精装本,£22

倔强的年轻铁匠理查德·谢里夫(Richard Sheriff)在托特尼斯(Totnes)的家中被奴隶贩子绑走,并被迫为生存而战,随后被卖到威尼斯做奴隶,凭借才华成为一名造刀匠的学徒。

但海盗船长约翰·查勒诺(John Challenor)对他心爱的妹妹伊丽莎白(Elizabeth)另有打算,导致兄妹俩被迫分离。虽然理查德的技艺为他赢得了名声,但他从未忘记伊丽莎白,两人的关系构成了这部扣人心弦的历史惊悚小说的情感核心。

吉尔曼(Gilman)是塑造人物、情节和场景的大师,谢里夫是一个极具吸引力的英雄,而威尼斯为故事动作戏提供了阴暗且迷人的背景。这部故事背景设定在17世纪欧洲贪婪、暴力与腐败之下的激昂之作,节奏从未慢下来。这是一部最高水准的页边翻书(page-turner),非常适合康·伊古尔登(Conn Iggulden)、丹·琼斯(Dan Jones)和吉尔斯·克里斯蒂安(Giles Kristian)的粉丝。9/10

与阿尔菲·摩尔一起关注邻里安全 (NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH WITH ALFIE MOORE)

在更为纯真的年代,一张“邻里观察”(Neighbourhood Watch) 的窗贴就能让任何敲门入室的窃贼心生恐惧。

时代在变,犯罪手段也在变,但“邻里观察”依然是我们最大的志愿者主导的犯罪预防慈善机构,拥有 2.3 million 名成员。

在这个新系列中,从警察转行为喜剧演员的阿尔菲正在为其持续开展的工作宣传,分享保持安全的建议,并与名人探讨他们与不法之徒的遭遇。

早餐电视节目的主持人佩妮·史密斯是第一个进入阿尔菲访谈室的人,她不仅一次,而是两次成为了入室盗窃的受害者。

“在直播电视节目中的一个问题是,他们能地知道你不在家,”她告诉阿尔菲。而当她向全国播报新闻时,窃贼正砸碎她伦敦公寓的窗户,搬走了她的黑白电视机,更糟糕的是,还拿走了家庭珠宝。(“想到这些小偷进去拿走东西,而且可能以极低的价格把它贱卖掉,我就感到非常、非常愤怒。”)

阿尔菲是拿麦克风的绝佳人选,他在斯坎索普担任警员期间见识过所有事情,随后在喜剧圈以及他的 Radio 4 系列节目《It's A Fair Cop》中找到了更快乐的领域。所以

全世界的“窥窗者”团结起来 (CURTAIN TWITCHERS OF THE WORLD UNITE)

这里没有枯燥的禁忌事项和令人焦虑的犯罪统计数据。内容实用且充满希望,重点关注好邻居的重要性,而他深知,这在某种程度上取决于运气。我目前的死胡同邻居们非常友善,简直像中了彩票一样,但我也曾与尖叫的怪胎共用一面墙。

佩妮承认,她现在需要住在这样一个地方:当她敲开门询问“你能帮帮我吗?”时能得到回应;如果周围没有某种社区氛围,她会选择搬走。

一个紧密联系的社区是犯罪无法滋生的场所。

天气预报员鲁斯·多兹沃思 (Ruth Dodsworth)、Absolute Radio 主持人安迪·布什 (Andy Bush) 以及数学老师兼问答冠军鲍比·西格尔 (Bobby Seagull) 也将与阿尔菲讨论他们过去和现在的邻里情况以及与罪犯的遭遇。

而“首席窥窗者”——“邻里观察”首席执行官约翰·海沃德-克里普斯 (John Hayward-Cripps) 也在分享他的观察智慧。例如,当你外出度假时,不要发布 Facebook 更新。窗下种植带刺的灌木具有威慑力,因为窃贼本质上很懒。阿尔菲甚至建议安装一个“捕蝇草式”的窃贼陷阱。

还有视频门铃。每个人都需要好的视频门铃。

宣言 (MANIFESTO)

宣言可以改变世界,其要求涵盖从建立新世界秩序到将阿黛尔 (Adele) 国有化的一切。

讲述者丹·塔伯斯基 (Dan Taberski) 阐述了为什么宣言在 21 世纪变得如此扭曲,以及为什么愤怒在被正确使用时可以成为向善的动力。

在这个由 6 部组成的 Audible 原创系列中,他采访了一群充满激情的艺术家、远见者、无政府主义者和“个性人物”,他们都被驱使着去撼动现状。该系列对反抗经济不平等的“占领华尔街”运动,以及旨在通过在 美国 新罕布什尔州创建分离政权来减少“保姆国家”法律、税收和社会限制的“自由州计划” (Free State Project) 提供了引人入胜的见解。

这部作品深思熟虑且触动人心,是对那些感到愤怒至极且不再忍气吞声的勇敢者的礼赞。

洛克比阴谋 (INTRIGUE LOCKERBIE)

今年晚些时候,一名涉嫌制造导致泛美航空 103 号航班爆炸案炸弹的利比亚男子将出庭受审。在这部 BBC Sounds 的六集系列节目中,苏格兰记者迈尔斯·邦纳 (Myles Bonnar) 为这次英国历史上最致命的恐怖袭击调查提供了新的视角。

1988 年的洛克比爆炸案造成 270 人死亡,至今仍是一个充满阴谋论的故事。迈尔斯以新鲜且尊重的目光审视这场悲剧,采访了调查人员、情报特工

img-122.jpeg

以及受害者家属。吉姆·斯威尔 (Jim Swire) 的女儿弗洛拉 (Flora) 在爆炸中丧生,他仍然坚信警方对唯一被判定为爆炸案罪名成立的阿卜杜勒巴塞特·阿尔-麦格拉希 (Abdelbaset al-Megrahi) 的调查存在缺陷,并认为伊朗应对此负责。这是一个沉重且错综复杂的故事,档案音频进一步提醒人们当时经历的恐怖以及尚未解答的问题。

今日电视看点

作者:MIKE WARD 电视评论员

img-160.jpeg

度假骗局:别被骗了,5, 晚上 7 点

从信用卡诈骗到 PIN 码盗窃,Alexis Conran 为我们旅行时提供防骗技巧。

但他没有提到我的那个技巧,那就是:不要相信任何人。

我知道这并非万无一失,但这绝对是稳妥的建议。

事实上,我甚至想把它纹在手臂上。我知道这会宣扬我对人们评价较低的事实。但如果我用拉丁语纹 (Google 翻译告诉我是 "Nemo Confidunt"),就没人会发现。

或者说几乎没人会发现,我可能会遇到尤利乌斯·凯撒,但我敢肯定他会同意我的看法的。

超级富豪的整形秘密 (SURGERY SECRETS OF THE SUPER DICH),6A,下午6点

来自马耳他的 21 岁模特 MORGAN 在伦敦停留几天。但她此行不仅仅是为了观光,她还来见一位医生,对方将利用增强现实技术为她紧致并勾勒下颌线。这次手术将花费她约 £4,000,但 Morgan 认为每一分钱都花得值得。

与此同时,在曼彻斯特,健身爱好者 James(追求“终极健康体魄”)一直保持每周七天锻炼,并配合每周一次的诊所疗程。

James 提到他一直在接受“NAD 点滴”治疗,我不得不说这让我很惊讶,因为他才 35 岁,但显然那只是这种治疗方法的名称。

最佳悬疑剧

hardnesser 谜案 (THE HARDWESSER MYSTERIES INC.),晚上7点

歌手 Heather Small 在本集中客串出演。村民们正准备在当地剧院举行一场音乐会,却发现其中一名演出人员已死亡。主演为 Sally Phillips。

爱游荡的爱德华爵士 (SIR EDWARD, THE HAPPY WANDERER)

如果这是一个常识,请原谅我的无知,但我之前完全不知道创作了《希望与光荣之乡》(Land Of Hope And Glory) 的爱德华·埃尔加爵士 (Sir Edward Elgar) 是一名 Wolves 球迷。也就是说,他是伍尔弗汉普顿流浪者足球俱乐部 (Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club) 的球迷。

在今晚播出的这场以埃尔加为主题的阿尔伯特音乐厅 (Albert Hall) 音乐会之前,我通过简单的谷歌搜索才发现了这一点。

你看,我觉得我应该为你找一些关于爱德华·埃尔加的冷知识,而不是让你忍受我对他的 A 降大调第一交响曲 (Symphony No. 1 in A flat major) 那些不专业的观察——而正是这部作品拉开了此次活动的帷幕(由 Ryan Wigglesworth 指挥 BBC 苏格兰交响乐团)。

所以,是的,我去搜寻了一些。而

关于 Wolves 的事情是我偶然发现的。埃尔加不仅是个相当狂热的球迷(据称他最早在 1998 年 2 月观看了一场主场对阵斯托克城队的比赛,后来经常骑车行驶数英里去观看比赛),而且资料显示他甚至写了一首 Wolves 的助威歌,名为《他为进球而击皮》(He Banged The Leather For Goal),灵感来自一份关于他们英勇前锋 Billy Malpass 的报纸报道。

当然,就在我写这段话的时候,我仿佛能听到 Wolves 球迷在尖叫:“没错,迈克,你这个没脑子的傻瓜,爱德华·埃尔加爵士当然写了《他为进球而击皮》,灵感来自关于我们英勇前锋 Billy Malpass 的报纸报道。每个人都知道这件事。”

但就像我说的,对我来说这是新闻。

听起来把这称为“助威歌”可能有点勉强——据称那只有几个音符——但即便如此,他真是个顶级好伙计。快给我举出另一个对足球队痴迷的传奇作曲家来看看。

实际上,不,我想想,请不要这么做。

肯定有人在读这段话时在想:“迈克·沃德 (Mike Ward) 真的不知道路德维希·凡·贝多芬 (Ludwig van Beethoven) 是西布罗姆 (West Brom) 的季票持有者吗?我得立刻写信告诉他,他是个白痴。”

我还发现的其他关于埃尔加的冷知识(既然开始了我就把它写完)包括:他的自行车名叫“菲博斯先生”(Mr Phoebus);他在棚屋里建了一个实验室用来做化学实验;还有有一天他意外地炸飞了他的储水桶。

顺便说一句,不需要写信来感谢我提供这些信息。

扎克因发布令人厌恶的法拉奇贴文而理应被解雇

绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基 (Zack Polanski) 还要犯多少次错,才能让他得到他如此应得的被踢出局的结局(见7月 30 日《警方将不对波兰斯基展开调查》)?

转发断头台T恤贴文只是最新的一起事件。在此之前,他还“没意识到”在住房船的三年里需要缴纳议会税,或者批评警方逮捕一名在戈尔德斯格林 (Golders Green) 刺杀犹太人的男子,或者推动将强效毒品合法化。

此人是个威胁,永远不应该成为政党的领袖。

巴里·沃伦 (Barrie Warren), 兰开夏郡,伯里 (Bury, Lancs)

康诺利入狱的事由远轻于波兰斯基

警方竟然不对扎克·波兰斯基转发关于将奈杰尔·法拉奇 (Nigel Farage) 送上断头台的信息采取任何行动,这简直太令人震惊了。露西·康诺利 (Lucy Connolly) 在 2024 年的骚乱之后,因为一条很快被她删除的推文而被监禁。这就是两级标准执法 (two-tier policing)。显然,政治家在行为规范上并没有被要求像我们普通人那样受到约束。

凯伦·格温 (Karen Gwynn), 伍斯特郡,布罗姆斯格罗夫 (Bromsgrove, Worcs)

莱恩汉被武装逮捕后的双重标准

因此,大都会警察局表示他们不会对

今日读者来信

img-170.jpeg

国会外的“尊严死”活动人士

阴险的波兰斯基转发涉及奈杰尔·法拉奇的断头台图像一事采取任何行动,称“在网上分享该图像不太可能构成刑事犯罪”。

我说,按照正常的警务标准,这就是一起仇恨犯罪。

还记得《特德神父》的共同创作者格雷厄姆·莱恩汉 (Graham Linehan) 在希思罗机场因类似事件而被武装逮捕的事吗?

约翰·霍华德 (John Howard), 赫特福德郡,赫梅尔海姆斯特德 (Hemel Hempstead, Herts)

大都会警察局会对奈杰尔采取雷霆手段

我们再次证明,我们的警察部队在执行双重标准。

在安·威德科姆 (Ann Widdecombe) 去世的同一个月,绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基认为某个对奈杰尔·法拉奇发出威胁的个体是可取的。

波兰斯基应该被禁止担任国会议员,这对大多数人来说是很明显的。

更阴险的是,大都会警察局宣布不需要采取进一步行动。甚至连对涉事人员的询问都没有。

如果法拉奇足够愚蠢,对对手做类似的事情,警方会追究他的责任吗?

吉姆·索科尔 (Jim Sokol), 索默塞特郡,迈恩黑德 (Minehead, Somerset)

NHS 肥猫文员挥霍,患者则困在走廊

在读到为了吸引 NHS 最顶尖的人才我们必须支付六位数的薪酬,而我们已经向 NHS 投入资金一段时间后,有人能告诉我,我们什么时候才能拥有一个称职的 NHS(见7月 27 日《5'4 NHS 肥猫薪酬高于首相》)?

走廊里没有排队,手术预约的等待时间缩短至几周而非数年,全科医生 (GP) 的预约时间也能缩短。时间表是什么时候,今年,明年,还是永远不会?

马修·库尔特 (Matthew Coulter), 林肯郡,瓦丁顿 (Waddington, Lincs)

国际足联贪婪计划中处处可见特朗普的指纹

还有人认为,在世界杯发生的一系列事件之后,这一切都散发着唐纳德·特朗普的味道吗(见7月 29 日《我们的比赛不是由你们来出售的》)?

没有哪个总统像他那样利用职权来增加家族财富,然后就出现了詹尼·“拿个国际足联和平奖吧”·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino)。

如果没有更多资金流入那个每年想出一种新赛事的国际足联 (FIFA),这项美丽的运动已经被过度剥削了。至少

无助的老年人将处于危险之中

我和这个国家的许多人一样,非常担心将协助死亡继续作为一种选项来推广(“告诉首相:我们没有时间在这些事情上拖延”,7月30日)。

那些希望将协助死亡合法化的活动人士所忘记的,或者说刻意忽略的,是一个简单的事实:并非每个人都像他们那样无私,在涉及老年人的案例中,贪婪可能会取代关怀与爱。

将协助死亡合法化将打开一个潘多拉魔盒,带来许多无法预见的后果。

我们中的许多人希望维持现状。

情况可能更糟,我们可能会被梅根缠住

凡妮莎是对的,当你热爱书籍,生活就像一本扣人心弦的小说

我同意《每日快报》专栏作家凡妮莎·费尔茨(Vanessa Feltz)关于生活中拥有书籍之重要性的观点(“我的生活故事,像读这本书一样读我”,7月29日)。

我仍然保留着童年时期的书籍,我永远不会舍弃它们。但在安装新书架时,我意识到有大量书籍是我完全可以没有的。

这次大规模的清理对我来说非常具有疗愈感,而且现在我可以找借口买更多的书了,因为我已经有空间放它们了。

40 年前 (1986)

我们的头版刊登了一则呼吁,旨在帮助追踪警方认为绑架了失踪地产经纪人苏齐·兰普卢(Suzy Lamplugh)的男子。

这名 25, 岁的销售员在带一名化名为基珀先生(Mr Kipper)的假客户参观伦敦西区富勒姆的一栋房屋后失踪。

2002 年,警方表示他们认为被定罪的杀手和连环强奸犯约翰·坎南(John Cannan)应对其谋杀负责,但公诉机关(CPS)决定证据不足,无法起诉他。

坎南在服刑 35 年的强奸及谋杀雪莉·班克斯(Shirley Banks)罪名期间在狱中去世。

游泳运动员迈克尔·菲尔普斯在伦敦奥运会 200 米自由泳接力赛中帮助美国队夺金,赢得了创纪录的第 19 枚奥运奖牌。

在恶劣天气下,游乐巡洋舰“达尔温号”(MV Darlwyne)在康沃尔海岸附近失踪,造成 31 人死亡,其中包括 8 名儿童。共寻获 12 具尸体,但船只未被找到。一项调查指责船主约翰·巴拉特(John Barratt)和船长布赖恩·博恩(Brian Bown)在船只不具备适航状态的情况下允许其航行。

去年。壳牌公司在卡塔尔的 Pearl 液化天然气工厂在三月份遭到导弹袭击并受损后也停止了生产。

该国由壳牌部分持有的液化天然气设施也受到了影响。

自导弹袭击以来,Pearl 场站一直无法生产天然气。

在和平谈判期间以及勉强维持的停火协议带来的相对平静期之后,过去一周石油市场的紧张局势已回升至六月初以来的最高水平。

美国和伊朗均警告称,希望恢复和平谈判还为时过早。

布伦特原油一度突破每桶 $100,但随后回落至 $90 附近。

“波动已成为新常态,”萨万 (Sawan) 昨天告诉 CNBC。“我们一直试图建立的是一家能够在波动中繁荣发展的公司……目前的宏观[环境]使得大宗商品价格处于高位,这为我们的业绩提供了强有力的助力。”

阿迪达斯广告支出成“乌龙球”

img-190.jpeg

英格兰队在领取世界杯第三名奖牌后

由于在世界杯营销支出大增的情况下未能达到季度利润预期,阿迪达斯 (ADIDAS) 的股价昨日大跌。

尽管营收增长 14% 至 £5.7bn,且公司维持全年营业利润目标为 £2bn,但这家德国公司的股价开盘下跌超过 15%。该公司在过去一年投入了 £180m 用于营销,其中包括一个由蒂莫西·查拉梅 (Timothee Chalamet)、利昂内尔·梅西 (Lionel Messi)、Bad Bunny、朱德·贝林厄姆 (Jude Bellingham) 和拉明·亚马尔 (Lamine Yamal) 等明星出演的五分钟全明星广告。

该品牌将跑步和足球列为顶级增长领域,今年伦敦马拉松赛的男女冠军均穿着阿迪达斯产品。

劳埃德银行 (LLOYD'S BANK)

集团利润超出预期

蓬勃发展的劳埃德投资 AI 以削减 £2bn 成本

劳埃德银行集团 (LLOYD'S Banking Group) 将利用 AI 在 2030 年前削减 £2billion 的成本,此前该公司在 2026 年上半年实现了 £4.3bn 的税前利润,超出预期。

这家 Halifax 和苏格兰银行的所有者原预计达到 £4.1bn,但实际比一年前的 £3.5bn 增长了 23%。劳埃德银行表示,这一结果部分归功于投资收入的增加,同时保持成本平稳,包括降低了遣散费支出。

首席执行官查理·楠 (Charlie Nunn) 透露,这项名为 “Accelerate 2030,” 的技术战略旨在提高生产力并向客户提供 AI 建议。但他拒绝详细说明这将如何影响员工。他补充道:“这将影响工作。它将要求我们继续对人员进行重新培训并雇佣新员工,但这在我在金融服务领域 30 多年的职业生涯中一直是常态。”

劳埃德银行还公布了该期间一项新的 £1bn 股份回购计划。其中包含 £1 规模的调整。

350 次出场 依然领先 沃特金斯继续冲锋

THE BALLROOM LEEKS 带来:资深球员 Kallum Watkins 在今晚迎来其职业生涯第 350 次超级联赛出场前,毫无退意之象。犀牛队将在 Headingley 对阵图卢兹奥林匹克队,Watkins 将在 18 年前作为青少年球员完成俱乐部首秀的同一块场地庆祝这一重大里程碑。

39, 岁的 Watkins 预计将签署续约合同,他曾在 Leeds 参加了 2 场 Under 比赛,以及在 Belford 参加了其他 8 场比赛。

这名英格兰国际球员继续给教练 Brad Arthur 留下深刻印象,后者表示:“这太神奇了。他不断刷新里程碑,而且看不到他什么时候会停止。”

“这是对他个人的肯定。他的领导力是一流的,可能不在于他说了什么,而在于他做了什么。”

利兹 v 图卢兹

开球时间:他用实际行动展现领导力,以及他的准备方式和专业程度,为我们的年轻球员树立了良好榜样。

利兹队还将庆祝中锋 Jarred O'Connor 职业生涯第 150 次出场。

在另一个极端,18, 岁的后排前锋 Zek Lloyd 将回归。

“当这个年轻人得知自己将上场时,他脸上掩饰不住笑容,”Arthur 说道。

“他拥有相当不错的技巧。他带球强硬,且喜欢对抗部分。”

“他还很年轻,我对他说,‘你可能会犯几次错,但别担心。’”

威利点燃战火

Hull KR 对阵 Bradford;Leigh 对阵 Wigan 开球时间 8pm

作者:JAMES SMAILES WILLIE PETERS 希望今晚能为 Hull KR 的支持者们赢得回报。

上赛季的三冠王在赢得 Hull 德比战后结束了连续两场失利的颓势,但目前仍排在第六位。

Peters(插图)表示:“我们几周前对阵了 Wakefield(主场 20-6 告负),那次表现完全不像 Hull KR 该有的水准,所以这周我们绝对欠球迷们一场精彩的演出。”

img-202.jpeg

当 Leigh 对阵 Wigan 时,两支状态正佳的球队将展开对决,Leopards 教练 Adrian Lam 对 Warriors 队具有鼓舞人心的 Bevan French 保持警惕。“他在这里会是个棘手的对手,”Lam 承认道,“他非常自信。”

昨晚赛果:Huddersfield 22 Hull FC 16

在皇家利瑟姆与圣安尼斯球场举行的 AIG 女子公开赛第一轮后,CHARLEY HULL 和 Lottie Woad 领跑英国选手的希望。

Hull 在 15 号洞从果岭外直接将球击入洞中,一度升至负三杆。但这位来自 Kettering 的 30-year-old 选手在接下来的洞中球掉入前沙坑,抵消了之前的好成绩,退回至负两杆。

然而,她在最后一洞展现了真正的坚毅,第二杆击球后球掉入了果岭边沙坑。深知打出柏忌将损害自己的机会,Hull 将球救出至一英尺处并成功推杆入洞,以平分收官,最终成绩为 69. 来自 Surrey 的 22-year-old 选手 Woad 则打出了一场没有柏忌、负两杆的 69 轮,其中在 6 号洞(标准杆 5 洞)抓到一只小鸟球,并在 12 号洞通过一次强力推杆将球推进,仅用两杆完赛。

原本结果可以更好,但她在 6 号洞的鹰鸟球推杆在洞口周围转了一圈后弹了出来。

“老实说,这个球场上的小鸟球机会并不多,所以我认为在标准杆 5 洞必须打得非常激进,”Woad 说道。

“(12 号洞)太棒了。那里有这么多球迷,尤其是早起开球的时候,那次进球绝对是个惊喜,某种程度上弥补了一些遗憾。大家都激动疯了,所以感觉很棒。”

Nelly Korda 感到很失望,她在 2026, 年的前两项大满贯赛中夺冠,但此次在表现平平的 73 轮中打出了四个柏忌。

而英国人 Georgia Hall 差距更大,她在标准杆 5 上的 76 轮中没有抓到任何小鸟球,成绩为 5 杆过度 (five-over par)。

Jeeho Thitikul 处于领先地位,这位来自泰国的 23-year-old 选手仍在寻求首个大满贯冠军,她在毫无瑕疵的负七杆 64 轮中抓到了七只小鸟球。

令人不安的是,Byu Hae-ran 仅落后两杆,她在最后一洞将一个 15-footer 的球推入洞中,成绩为负五杆 66。

这位 25, 岁的韩国选手在赢得了女子 PGA 赛和依维昂冠军赛后,正寻求连续第三个大满贯冠军。

“是的,我在大满贯赛前变得好多了,更冷静了,所以这段时间我的分数相当低,”她说。

“我对此感到很惊讶,我还问我的球童为什么这周我打得这么好。”

“我认为是因为我更冷静,更享受高尔夫了,这就是为什么最近我的高尔夫状态一直很好。”

英联邦运动会:格拉斯哥

坎贝尔在卫冕冠军后挑战 MasterChef

作者:詹姆斯·托尼(JAMES TONEY),发自格拉斯哥

埃米莉·坎贝尔(EMILY CAMPBELL)显然能承受高温,所以她决定进入厨房。

这位英国最伟大的举重运动员以打破记录的方式卫冕了英联邦运动会+86kg级别的冠军,随后透露她的下一个挑战是《MasterChef》(名厨)。

自从五年前在东京奥运会上取得突破以来,她在自己的运动领域中一直大展身手,而这次的表现堪称完美。

在昨天于格拉斯哥锁定金牌后,她致力于打破自己的英联邦记录,以 163kg 的挺举新最佳成绩,将相当于两个成年人的重量举过头顶。她的获胜总成绩(加上 115kg 的抓举)也创下了 278kg 的运动会新纪录。但你会感觉到,坎贝尔(她将参加今年 BBC 的《名人 MasterChef》)的目标不仅仅是她所称的追求“闪亮饰品”(指奖牌)。

她的发型、睫毛和指甲都精致无瑕,其他竞争对手根本没有机会,她在获胜后跳了一段高地舞。

“我想向人们证明,你可以热爱自己的事业,同时在从事这项事业时依然保持绝佳的状态,”坎贝尔说道。她花费了数小时将头发编成红白相间的样式,并配有英格兰队的标志。

“作为一名运动员,你总是希望发挥出最佳水平,但我之所以在这项运动中坚持这么久,是因为我依然真心热爱举重。英联邦运动会极其特别。在 2018 年,我真正开始相信自己,意识到我可以做到。”

“如果没有那届运动会,我认为我无法取得现在的成就。每当我代表我的国旗出赛,我都感到无比自豪。”

“人们一直给我发消息,说我的行为激励了他们。如果我能鼓励某人去追求他们热爱的事物,那么我所取得的成就远不止于赢得奖牌。”

坎贝尔的首次奥运征程是由诺丁汉的朋友和家人资助的。在可能缺乏一些光彩的英格兰队阵容中,坎贝尔现在是无可争议的超级巨星。

然而,是否将继续参加第三届奥运会,现在成了一个需要重点考虑的决定。虽然她仅仅在 10 年前才开始接触这项运动,但在 32 岁时,她承认自己感受到了在健身房度过数小时后带来的酸痛。

“精英体育在任何年龄阶段都很艰苦,但在 30 多岁时坚持是一项挑战,”她补充道。“赛后哪里觉得痛?到处都痛。膝盖、肩膀、背部——你能想到的地方都痛。”

“我们必须在如何管理我的身体方面做出明智的决定。如果我去洛杉矶,我希望自己真正具备竞争奖牌的能力。”

感谢国家彩票玩家,每周为公益事业筹集超过 £1300万 英镑。正是因为有你们,英国全境的体育、艺术、遗产和社区项目,以及在 2026 年格拉斯哥英联邦运动会中竞争的运动员们,才得到了支持。

击败后的阿齐兹发表种族主义言论

作者:詹姆斯·托尼 (James Toney),发自格拉斯哥

赛事官员否认了前乌干达独裁者伊迪·阿明 (Idi Amin) 之孙提出的种族主义指控。

阿齐兹·阿卜杜勒 (Aziz Abdul) 在重量级拳击四分之一决赛中被取消资格(对手是英格兰的达马尔·托马斯 Damar Thomas)后愤怒不已。他声称裁判针对他,因为他是一个“黑人非洲人”。

然而,英联邦体育乌干达负责人唐纳德·鲁卡雷博士 (Dr Donald Rukare) 坚称,他对裁决的公正性没有担忧。

“我们在英联邦体育组织认为,每位运动员都受到了公平且非歧视性的对待。我们具有包容性,”他说道。“那可能是在情绪激动之下的言论。运动员们得到了公平对待。这是一个公正的场上裁决。”

阿齐兹曾自称是“英联邦中最强悍的人”,并表达了对阿明的钦佩;据估计,阿明在担任总统的七年间杀害了 300,000 人。阿齐兹在每一轮都被扣分。

裁判的稳定性而非腐败仍然是最大的问题,但世界拳击组织已引入措施以减少偏见,通过收集评分模式的深度数据来指导裁判的选拔,目前裁判们正接受强化培训。

针对非洲国家的偏见指控与结果不符,在此次所有男女重量级项目中,非洲国家共获得了八个保证的领奖台席位:纳米比亚三个,莱索托和赞比亚各两个,加纳一个。

艾玛完成全满贯,结局惊艳

作者:查理·本内特 (CHARLIE BENNETT)

随着威尔士在冲刺决战中爆冷击败英格兰,艾玛·菲努凯恩 (EMMA FINUCANE) 完成了自行车赛的“奥斯卡”大满贯。

这位英国自行车女王凭借在克里斯·霍伊爵士自行车馆 (Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome) 惊人的最后一圈表现,带领威尔士在女子冲刺决赛中夺得团体金牌。在经过三圈的对决并击败英格兰三人组凯蒂·马尚特 (Katy Marchant)、索菲·凯普韦尔 (Sophie Capewell) 和里安娜·帕里斯-史密斯 (Rhianna Parris-Smith) 后,这位 23 岁的选手与里安·埃德蒙兹 (Rhian Edmunds) 和劳里·托马斯 (Lowri Thomas)(均在左侧)一同登上了最高领奖台。

这意味着她在自行车运动四大顶级赛事中均已夺金,此次冠军使其在奥运会、世界锦标赛和欧洲锦标赛的胜利之基础上再次添砖加瓦。

“我想看看在这项运动中我能走多远,”她说道。

“从四年前的铜牌到成为英联邦冠军,我简直不敢相信。英格兰队表现得非常顽强。我们倾尽了所有,这真的太令人兴奋了。”

早些时候,英格兰在男子团体追逐赛中品尝到了胜利的滋味,在一场激战中击败了奥运冠军澳大利亚队。

亨利·霍布斯 (Henry Hobbs)、查理·坦菲尔德 (Charlie Tanfield)、威尔·蒂德博尔 (Will Tidball) 和埃森·弗农 (Ethan Vernon) 创造了新的赛事记录,为英国队两年前在奥运会上的失利雪耻。

残疾人自行车运动员尼尔·法奇 (Neil Fachie) 在赢得男子双人 1000 米计时赛冠军后,获得了职业生涯第六枚金牌,成为苏格兰历史上最伟大的英联邦运动会运动员。

新西兰队迎来新帅,弗莱明被任命为教练,击球王乔任队长

“有很多年轻天才,我们希望他们能发挥潜力”

作者:乔治·塞申斯 (GEORGE SESSIONS) 斯蒂芬·弗莱明 (STEPHEN FLEMING) 在被确认为英格兰队新的测试赛主教练后,期待着能为英格兰板球运动做出贡献,而乔·鲁特 (Joe Root) 将再次接任队长。

五次获得印度超级联赛冠军的弗莱明(插图)将接替同胞布兰登·麦卡勒姆 (Brendon McCullum)。

麦卡勒姆在经历了灾难性的灰烬杯 (Ashes) 战役,以及 6 月在主场以 2-1 输给新西兰的系列赛后,失去了对测试赛体系的掌控权。

本·斯托克斯 (Ben Stokes) 在上个月特伦特桥 (Trent Bridge) 战败后卸任测试赛队长并从国际板球赛中退役。英格兰及威尔士板球委员会 (ECB) 昨日宣布,鲁特将挺身而出填补这一空缺。

重新启用鲁特(他曾率领英格兰队参加过 65 场测试赛)的决定,将使全格式球员哈里·布鲁克 (Harry Brook) 能够在明年的世界杯前专注于白球赛的队长工作。

鲁特将在 8 月与巴基斯坦的三场系列赛中恢复其队长之位,但前钦奈超级国王队教练弗莱明届时将不在现场。马库斯·特雷斯科西克 (Marcus Trescothick) 将出任临时主教练;这位前新西兰队长目前回到故乡与家人共度时光,随后将在夏季晚些时候飞往英国,开始为 12 月的南非测试赛巡赛做准备。

弗莱明表示:“能作为测试赛教练加入英格兰队,我感到无比兴奋。这是世界板球中最负盛名的教练职位之一,能被任命我深感荣幸。”

“我期待与球员们合作,并巩固布兰登和本·斯托克斯所取得的成果。”

“当然,现在的目标始终是获胜。但同样重要的是,要确保球队在从中长期未来来看处于有利位置。”

“球队内部和周围有很多年轻天才,我们的目标是帮助他们发挥潜力,成为世界级的板球运动员。”

“我尤其期待与作为队长的乔·鲁特合作——他是一位已取得诸多成就的时代天才。我知道承担领导责任和国际板球赛事的压力是什么感觉,而当这种情况发生在我身上时,通过前往诺丁汉郡 (Notts) 并赢得郡锦标赛 (County Championship),我对这项运动的热爱被重新点燃了。”

“英格兰板球给了我这一切,现在有机会回报一些,我感到很荣幸。”

弗莱明在担任新西兰队长期间,在测试赛中拥有卓越的记录,赢得了 28 场比赛,并且曾与麦卡勒姆共同效力六年。

在之前尝试实行分任主教练制遇到困难后,弗莱明与麦卡勒姆之间已有的良好关系将成为 ECB 的一个受欢迎的加分项。

弗莱明此前从未执教过测试赛,但他曾在 2005 年率领诺丁汉郡队获得郡锦标赛冠军,并且在三年前指导南勇士队 (Southern Brave) 进入 The Hundred 决赛。

在安迪·弗劳尔 (Andy Flower) 本月初宣布退出竞争后,弗莱明在面试环节给 ECB 高层留下了深刻印象。

英格兰男子板球总监罗伯特·基 (Rob Key) 表示:“我相信他是指导一支充满潜力球队的最佳人选,能够将这些天赋转化为一支不仅能取得成功而且能维持成功的世界级队伍。”

鲁特在 2017 和 2022 年之间的第一次担任英格兰队长期间赢得了 27 场测试赛,他表示:“能再次被邀请担任英格兰男子测试赛队长,是巨大的荣誉和特权。”

“能与斯蒂芬一起完成这项任务也是一个巨大的动力。”

“长期以来,他已经证明自己是一位卓越的领导者,对比赛有着深厚的造诣,我期待与他合作,共同打造一个赢球的环境。”

澳洲教练:我认为本可以参加灰册杯

澳大利亚教练 Andrew McDonald 认为 Ben Stokes 可能会在明年夏天的灰册杯 (Ashes) 中回归。

Stokes 上个月从国际板球赛中退役,目前正在为杜伦队 (Durham) 出战一日杯 (One Day Cup)。

在去年冬天于澳大利亚遭遇惨败后,英格兰在灰册杯之前仅剩 10 场测试赛。

McDonald(见下图)

坚称 Stokes,

35, 在 2027 年依然能发挥作用。“童话故事将是他回归,再次挑战一次灰册杯,并在回归之路上制造大量噱头,”McDonald 说道。

“对我而言,他身上仍有许多优秀的板球能力。”

“这里可能是一个句点,也可能是一个机会,让新任主教练有可能通过说服让他回归。”

杜伦队今天在约克对阵约克郡队的一日杯比赛已经售罄。

HINCAPIE 志在追求更多荣誉

img-214.jpeg

作者:RYAN TAYLOR

PIERO HINCAPIE 坚称阿森纳将“为一切而战”,旨在延续上赛季英超冠军的成功。

这位厄瓜多尔国脚在从勒沃库森租借后,现已正式转会加盟枪手队。他承认上赛季的荣誉并非轻易获得。

现在,他准备采取任何必要手段,确保阿森纳赢得更多奖杯。

在回顾冠军成功时,Hincapie(见上图)表示:“是的,那个时刻非常美妙,因为我们全年一直排名第一,显然过程中有很多非常困难、非常艰辛的时刻,但我认为球队能够面对现实,并根据我们面临的逆境始终向前迈进。”

“我们必须更加努力,比去年更努力。我们拥有经验丰富得多的球员。当你成为一支强队时,你总是想要赢得一切。”

“所以我们将为一切而战。我们正为此努力,上帝保佑,我希望我们能实现这一切。”

小屋队达成皇马双重交易

作者:RYAN TAYLOR

富勒姆(FULHAM)已与皇家马德里就签下前锋冈萨洛·加西亚(Gonzalo Garcia,见插图)和中场塞萨尔·帕拉西奥斯(Cesar Palacios)达成双重协议。

这两名球员都与小屋队的新主帅阿尔瓦罗·阿尔贝洛斯(Alvaro Arbelos)相熟,他在上赛季执教伯纳乌期间曾指导过他们。

他们将为 22 岁的加西亚支付 £34.3m 的初始转会费,加西亚在去年夏天的世俱杯中表现出色,在 4 场比赛中打入四球。

富勒姆还就 21 岁的帕拉西奥斯达成了协议,加上奖金后金额可达 £3.6m。

阿尔贝洛斯的球队将购买两名球员 70% 的权利,这意味着皇家马德里将拥有 30% 的赛季条款。

另一项机制还将使“白衣军团”能够匹配任何未来的报价。这两名西班牙球员将成为该俱乐部继乔纳·库西-阿萨雷(Jonah Kusi-Asare)从拜仁慕尼黑永久转会而来之后的第二和第三名夏季新援。

施拉格对格拉斯纳充满信心

img-215.jpeg

诺丁汉森林(NOTTINGHAM FOREST)新签下的哈维尔·施拉格(Xaver Schlager)或许还不熟悉英格兰足球,但他对自己的新老板并不陌生。

这位 28 岁的中场球员曾在德甲沃尔夫斯堡效力于奥利弗·格拉斯纳(Oliver Glasner)麾下。

因此,他可以告诉森林队的球迷,这位接管城市球场(City Ground)主教练一职的人将带来什么样的期望。

“他在法兰克福取得了成功。他在水晶宫取得了成功。他在沃尔夫斯堡也取得了成功,”施拉格(见上图)表示。

“沃尔夫斯堡现在降级到了德国第二联赛,而他在那里时,我们还在踢欧冠。”

“在他的指导下,每个球员都会变得更好,因为他是一位出色的教练。”

“他很直率。他精通战术,有计划,并希望为球队提供最好的方案。我喜欢他的策略,喜欢他的计划。”

这位奥地利国脚补充道:“当他在水晶宫时,我们一直保持联系。”

“时机非常完美。他要变动,我也想变动,我想看看一个新的联赛。”

“我看到了一家拥有优秀教练的优秀俱乐部。”

桑德罗·托纳利(SANDRO TONALI)和罗伯托·德泽尔比(Roberto De Zerbi)注定是一对天作之合……或者更准确地说,是在意大利结缘。

当托特纳姆热刺的主帅在 3 月中旬与体育总监约翰·朗格(Johan Lange)讨论加入这家北伦敦俱乐部的谈判并拟定转会目标时,托纳利就是他的梦想签约球员之一。

人们预计这位意大利国脚将很难争取到,直到媒体的一则报道引发了一系列事件,最终导致这位 26 岁的球员被揭晓为热刺首位 £100m 级别的签约球员。

在这里,德泽尔比讲述了导致托纳利离开纽卡斯尔环境并与同胞联手的故事——两人都热爱意大利北部的布雷西亚市(Brescia),前者出生于此,后者在该市的一家俱乐部效力了近十年,而该俱乐部因 £20m 的债务在本周破产清算。

“故事很简单。在赛季结束前,在我们的切尔西比赛之前,我看到桑德罗想离开,而且我们有一个共同的朋友——布雷西亚的球队经理,” 47 岁的德泽尔比说道。

“我读到一篇报道说,‘托纳利将在夏天离开纽卡斯尔’,于是我给朋友发消息说,‘嘿,告诉桑德罗,如果我们能保级,我就去找他。’”

“10 分钟后,我的朋友回答说,‘我已经告诉桑德罗了,他很愿意’。现在我们必须赢下一场比赛才能保级!”

“我看了纽卡斯尔对阵西汉姆联的比赛,整整 90 分钟像这样 [示意汗水从脸上流下],而桑德罗在上半场表现得非常好。”

德泽比与托纳利共享 £100m 转会的关键

我(对自己)说:“如果我能保级,我就去找你,去找你,去找你。”

“当我们赢得对阵埃弗顿的最后一场比赛后,第二天我给他发了一条信息——‘桑德罗,我想和你谈谈’。10 分钟后,我们通话了,两天后我回到意大利,我们在他的家中见面。”

“我不想邀请他来我家,因为我觉得也许他在我家会不自在。我更希望让他处于一种能够说‘是的,为什么不呢?’的正确状态。”

由于曼城同样感兴趣,得益于他们对共同城市的长期联系,德泽比成为了热刺一个并非秘密的秘密武器。

“布雷西亚非常小,”出生在距离那里一小时车程的洛迪的托纳利说道。“我在那里度过了两周,他也是,我在城里和他见了两三次面,但不仅仅是他。我在布雷西亚见到了我的前球队经理。我还见到了罗伯托·巴乔两次!”

“当(德泽比)在萨索罗、马赛和布莱顿时,我们就通过话。我们

“我发了一条信息——‘桑德罗,我想和你谈谈’。10 分钟后,我们通话了”

每次都沟通,因为我们都是意大利人,来自布雷西亚,这是一种微小的共同纽带。”

尽管有曼城的竞争,但热刺希望将他变为其中一员的渴望赢得了托纳利的心。

“我与其他球队谈过,但当我与热刺谈话时,完全不同,”这位中场球员补充道。“他们带着 100 per cent 的热情地交谈,罗伯托和总监让这次交易产生了决定性的差异。”

托纳利及其家人最初在今年夏天考虑过回国,但显而易见,意甲俱乐部无法负担纽卡斯尔要求的巨额费用。

当热刺和德泽比出现时,对于托纳利一家来说,在众多意大利员工和球员的陪伴下,这里成了完美的“小意大利”。

“我们决定回意大利,但资金上不可能实现,”他说。“在英格兰,我们为我、我的职业生涯、我的足球、我的幸福以及我的家庭找到了最佳解决方案。我与两支球队谈过,在 15 分钟内我就知道热刺将成为我的下一支球队。”

五位做出重大转会决定的主帅

特里·维纳布尔斯(保罗·加斯科因,纽卡斯尔至热刺 1988 年)。(L Tel 和热刺主席欧文·斯考拉给加佐亚打电话,询问需要什么条件才能让他加入热刺而不是曼联。这位中场球员为父母弄到了一套房子,为父亲弄到了一辆车,并为妹妹弄到了一个粉色公寓。

亚历克斯·弗格森爵士(罗伊·基恩,森林至曼联 1993 年)。基恩此前已同意加入布莱克本,直到弗格森介入,并在几局斯诺克球之间说服这位爱尔兰人改变主意,导致流浪者队老板肯尼·达格利什威胁要追杀他。

哈里·雷德纳普(保罗·默森,阿斯顿维拉至朴涛 2000 年)。雷德纳普(右)著名的做法是向默森提供队长之职,并明确告诉他,他不需要在周一、周三或周五训练——他只需要在周六“进入状态”即可。

何塞·穆里尼奥(阿什利·科尔,阿森纳至切尔西 2005 年)。切尔西主教练穆里尼奥与当时的阿森纳后卫科尔在伦敦一家酒店秘密会面,讨论一项关于离开枪手队的极具争议的转会,该行为导致了因私下接触球员而创纪录的罚款。

佩普·瓜迪奥拉(凯尔·沃克,热刺至曼城 2017 年)。当沃克在葡萄牙享受高尔夫假期时,佩普给他打了电话。瓜迪奥拉简单地告诉他:“我非常希望你能加入我的球队。”沃克后来承认,佩普的电话让他感到“战栗”。

RDZ 再抛一枚“炸弹”

作者:ALASRAIR GOLD

罗伯托·德泽比(ROBERTO DE ZERBI)透露,另一枚热刺转会“炸弹”即将到来。热刺在本转会窗口已经挥霍了 £237million,在斥资 £85m 签下马特乌斯·费尔南德斯(Mateus Fernandes)仅几天后,桑德罗·托纳利(Sandro Tonali)成为了他们首位身价 £100m 的球员。现在,这支伦敦球队准备通过另一项重大签约来加强其进攻线。

热刺对曼城边锋桑德罗 (1991) 产生兴趣,德泽比暗示一项前锋交易已接近达成。

“在转会市场上,即使是我,一旦想要某个球员,我也会变得像鲨鱼一样,”德泽比说道,“绝不会说不。”

“转会市场肯定还没有结束,但我们已经完成了转会计划的 60 percent。现在我们还有另一枚炸弹!”这位主帅透露道,眼中闪烁着兴奋的光芒。

德泽比确认新球员将是一名进攻手。当被问及交易是否接近时,他反问道:“我希望如此,但肯定还没有最终敲定。”这位托特纳姆热刺的主帅表示,他的转会目标名单是在他同意就任之前,与体育总监约翰·兰格(Johan Lange)协商期间制定的。

“你们现在在球场上看到的很多球员,是从三月中旬开始关注的,”这位 47-year-old 承认道,“计划从一开始就很明确。当时最大的问题是保级并再次在英超联赛中立足。”

作为重建的一部分,今夏将继续有球员离开热刺。德泽比表示,他将尊重克里斯蒂安·罗梅罗(Cristian Romero)和詹卢卡·维卡里奥(Gianluona Vicario)离开的愿望,这两位球星分别与彼得米兰(Peter Milan)和尤文图斯相关联。

他表示:“在四月份我上任之初,我进行了无数次个人面谈。球员们告诉我他们的想法。我说:‘帮我保级,然后我帮你离开’。如果你不帮我保级,你就跟我一起沉在水底。”

“罗梅罗作为一名球员,是世界上最好的中后卫之一,但最终我说我想尊重球员的意愿。”

伊劳拉要求两翼兼顾

作者:PAUL GORST

安多尼·伊劳拉(ANDONI IRAOLA)表示,利物浦今夏签下的任何边锋必须具备在两翼都能踢球的能力。

周三晚上,利物浦在纽约洋基体育场击败了雷克瑟姆队,这要归功于里奥·恩古莫哈(Rio Ngumoha)(见上图)在下半场的一次破门,他在右边锋这个不熟悉的位置上的表现十分抢眼。

利物浦正寻求与巴黎圣日耳曼就布拉德利·巴尔科拉(Bradley Barcola)(见下图)展开谈判,这位欧洲冠军球队的球员被标价 £145m。

虽然利物浦将寻求协商一个较低的转会费,但这位法国国脚主要在左路活动。

但伊劳拉挑战他所有的宽幅球员,要求他们变得全能,从而在即将到来的赛季中让球队变得更加难以预测。

“我认为这是一种很棒的技能,因为最终你会变得不那么容易被预测,”伊劳拉在芝加哥的一次新闻发布会上说道。

“我认为大多数球员都有一个偏好的一侧,但也许你只有 70 per cent 的时间在那边踢球。”

“在某些比赛中,我们需要你出现在边路的某个位置,因为我们想要利用某个具体的对位情况。或者我们发现战术上侧翼存在弱点,那是我们有机会突破的地方。”

“能够胜任两侧,对你来说更好,因为你可以获得更多出场时间;对我们来说也更好,因为我们可以更好地利用阵容。”

“作为一支球队,我们通常不是对称的。所以有时一名边锋需要承担更多的防守工作,或者需要踢得更高,或者更靠内或靠外。”

“所以,如果你能给我两边都能踢的选择,从私心来看,这有利于你获得出场时间。现在在季前赛中,我得看看他们在哪里更舒服。”

“但在我之前的俱乐部中,大多数边锋都能胜任两边,甚至在比赛过程中,我们有时会更换边锋的位置。如果现在我们能拥有这种多样性,对我来说将是一个巨大的帮助。”

完美的法尔工作

亚斯莱真的能走得更远吗?

作者:李·赖德 (LEE RYDER)

德国籍主帅马蒂亚斯·亚斯莱 (Matthias Jaissle) 甚至还没在纽卡斯尔联坐稳位置——但已经面临着一个极难超越的前任。

接替像埃迪·豪 (Eddie Howe) 这样极受欢迎的公众人物将非常困难,因为豪将自豪感带回了这座城市;尤其是在纽卡斯尔在与布里斯托尔城的最后一场热身赛中以 1-4 落后时,这位 48 岁主帅的名字仍然被球迷们高呼。

输给桑德兰的比赛并没有对豪有所帮助,但球迷们继续支持这个在 2025 年结束冠军荒、带来 1969 年以来首座奖杯的人。

在 2025 年捧起卡拉宝杯(上图),并在温布利球场 2-1 击败利物浦时,豪让人们流下了眼泪。

但在那之前,他的相框就已经在北希尔兹 (North Shields) 一家肉店的显眼位置

img-223.jpeg

,与鲍比·罗布森爵士 (Sir Bobby Robson) 和凯文·基根 (Kevin Keegan) 并列。

他在 2022 年保住了“喜鹊”的席位,带领球队进入了欧冠联赛并赢得奖杯,他本可以在那时立即离职。

在泰恩河畔,关于豪离职的消息引起的是悲伤而非喜悦,这一事实说明了一切。

他留下了坚实的记录:在 231 场比赛中取得了 812 场胜利(注:原文如此),48 场平局和仅 78 场失败;期间经历了如 4-1 击败巴黎圣日耳曼的辉煌之夜,以及格迪人入侵圣西罗球场面对 AC 米兰,以及前往多特蒙德、勒沃库森、巴库、巴塞罗那和布鲁塞尔的旅程。

接近豪的人表示,他得出结论认为他已经把“喜鹊”带到了他能带到的最高高度。

亚斯莱(插图)将带着在奥地利红牛萨尔茨堡队的几次冠军头衔、在国民队获得的一座沙特超级杯以及两次亚冠冠军来到这里。

在 38 岁时,他是一名被证明过的赢家,但在英超联赛中还完全未经证明。

艰苦的工作现在开始。但有些人可能会认为,鉴于豪如此辉煌的成功故事,他可能处于一个无论如何都难以出彩的境地。

为什么埃迪曾燃爆全场

豪师离任的关键因素,以及在赢得奖杯后局面为何恶化

作者:LEE RYDER

纽卡斯尔内部人士指出,圣詹姆斯公园球场主教练这一顶岗的“严苛压力”是埃迪·豪决定辞职的一个主要因素。

他在纽卡斯尔任职的最后六个月,感觉就像是在遭受“千刀万剐”,他从赢得联赛杯的冠军主帅,沦落到在德比日遭受球迷嘘声的境地。

豪试图展现强度来支撑一个每周都变得愈发沉重的项目的努力,实际上在 12 个月前的季前赛期间就已启动。

正是在那时,他那支凯旋而归的夺冠球队开始分崩离析,而亚历山大·伊萨克的离队影响不容小觑。

以下是导致豪离职的六个步骤。

亚历山大·伊萨克罢工 在瑞典国脚(右图)拒绝乘坐飞机前往远东参加季前赛,以强迫球队将其以 £125 million 的价格转会至利物浦后,豪感到被背叛了。

我知道他对比萨克的行为及其时机感到非常沮丧,因为他在韩国告诉我过,当时是在与热刺的一场友谊赛后,首尔奥林匹克体育场一条光线昏暗的走廊里。

伊萨克决定离开,导致纽卡斯尔在转会窗口期间准备不足,而

在尼克·沃尔特马德、马利克·蒂亚乌、雅各布·拉姆齐和约安·威萨等人身上花费的 £240m 并没有获得回报。

这四人未能与现有球员磨合,损害了纽卡斯尔,并影响到了 2025/26 赛季,在对阵阿斯顿维拉、升级球队利兹联以及本茅斯的开局几场比赛中出现的一系列平局定下了基调。

两次输给桑德兰

德比战的失败总是意味着有人要出事,而对豪来说事实正是如此,在两场泰恩-威尔德之争中接连失利后,一些球迷失去了对主帅的信心。

豪曾告诉我,关于他的球员在欧冠对阵勒沃库森战平后会感到崩溃的说法,请“先搁一边”。但纽卡斯尔在 12 月 1-0 输给威尔河畔球队(桑德兰)时显得毫无精神。

而在同一赛季中,在圣詹姆斯公园球场再次在最后一分钟输球——被布莱恩·布罗比在比赛末尾打入一球——在一些支持者眼中简直是不可原谅的,他们对着豪及其球员嘘声四起,将其赶出场外。豪被迫缩短了致谢巡场的时间。

伯恩利猛攻——裂缝开始显现

在 3-1 击败伯恩利后,豪平时冷静的神情消失了,因为这场缺乏说服力的表现仍然引起了一些球迷的批评。

在土夫穆尔球场面对英超保级球队失去势头后,有人向豪指出他没有 B 计划,且他的球队遭受了猛攻。

豪反击道:“猛攻?针对我们?你看过比赛的数据吗?那你一定是看了另一场比赛。根本没有什么猛攻。

“是的,我们在(进攻端)有过高光时刻,但对方也有机会。我绝不会那样描述。如果真的是猛攻,我会给你我的意见并告诉你那就是。”

转会控制权的丧失

招募主管史蒂夫·尼克森与高级足球主管安迪·豪(埃迪·豪的侄子)之间的动态关系被广泛讨论,有说法称即将成为雷克斯汉姆转会主管的尼克森已被边缘化。

这一点被强烈否认,但随着安迪·豪的转会眼光在部分球迷群体中受到质疑,尼克森的离开显得耐人寻味。体育总监罗斯·威尔逊(左图)的到来注定会让埃迪·豪在转会中的发言权减少,但在 4-1 输给布里斯托尔城后,当被问及新签约球员时,他说:“不幸的是,我对那方面并不掌握。所以那应该是别人的职责。”

双重离职打击与新政策

在去年夏天基本担任事实上的转会主管并批准了威萨、沃尔特马德和蒂亚乌的加盟后,豪的 2026 夏季窗口以安东尼·戈登以 £693m 转会至巴塞罗那而开始。豪并不想卖人,但勉强同意了,并且

img-224.jpeg

img-225.jpeg


足球:英超联赛

每日快报 2026年7月31日 星期五

img-226.jpeg

他承认自己很愿意配合签下年轻球员。几周后,以 £100m 价格出售桑德罗·托纳利(Sandro Tonali,见下方,与吉马良斯合影)引发了另一波大规模离队潮,而肖恩·斯图尔(Sean Steur)、阿拉吉·班巴(Aladji Bamba)、尤文·雅文(Ewen Jaouen)和巴祖马纳·图雷(Bazoumana Toure)等年轻球员的加盟,标志着招募进入了一个新阶段。

豪(Howe)表示他对这一政策持开放态度,但很难说在这么多大牌球员离队的情况下,他是否能带领联队(United)进入前六名。

布鲁诺·吉马良斯事件

于是,在许多观察者看来,这似乎成了压死骆驼的最后一根稻草,还是说他们只是在强词夺理?

我们的消息称,豪在夏季曾考虑过辞职,但在改变主意前誓言将继续执教。然而,布鲁诺的这场风波在豪任期的最后几周里定然没起到好作用,因为阿森纳明确表示他们想要签下他,尽管出价低于纽卡斯尔对他价值的评估。

豪在他职业生涯的最后一场新闻发布会上,面对着关于他将如何留住这位巴西国脚的追问,但他说“有某些力量在起作用”,而他无法掌控。

评论

作者:安迪·夸恩 (ANDY QUAIN)

3月下旬,纽卡斯尔联首席执行官大卫·霍金森被问及埃迪·豪的未来。

“我对他的未来没有立场,”霍金森(见上图)回答道。“我期待赛季末能有一段出色的表现,到时候我们再谈论未来。”

令人惊讶的是,豪当时没有直接走出圣詹姆斯公园球场。

霍金森本该说的是,俱乐部拥有一名主教练,他带领球队从英超联赛的底层走到了两次欧冠征程,并帮助球队赢得了 70 年来的首座国内奖杯。

他本该说,豪在四年半的时间里,出色地管理了一家以难以管理而闻名在外的俱乐部,并且他们将竭尽全力确保他乐于在未来的多个赛季中继续带领球队。

相反,他对他的

首席执行官错失表达支持的机会

“未来没有立场”。豪倾注了全部心血来重新激活一个伟大的机构,而这就是他得到的感谢。

那是霍金森的一次不理智的采访。他可能会声称自己只是选错了词。

但更重要的是,豪在行动和言语上都受到了辜负。

俱乐部别无选择,只能接受利物浦为亚历山大·伊萨克支付的 £125 百万英镑,而对于安东尼·戈登来说,很难阻止一名球员前往巴塞罗那。

你甚至可以说,桑德罗·托纳利的 £100 是一个无法拒绝的极好报价。

但目前看来,他们即将卖掉他们的护身符布鲁诺·吉马良斯。这可能是豪最后的忍耐极限。

高管和所有者会辩称,很难留住想要离开的球员,而且为了遵守英超联赛的财务法规,他们必须进行交易——买入且卖出。

这很合理。但高管和所有者的职责是确保顶级球员不想离开。当球员们成群结队地想要离开时,高管和所有者就没做对某些事情。

这就是为什么在某种程度上,豪的任期可能到了一个自然的终点,而且有传言称他的离职是和平的。

他是一个如此尊重他人的人,以至于豪——其继任者很可能是来自国民队 (Al-Ahli)、现年 38 岁的德国籍教练马蒂亚斯·贾伊西 (Matthias Jaissie)——在谈到离开这份他显然热爱了很久的工作时,可能不会说任何违心的话。

一些球迷可能会指出,纽卡斯尔在联赛中仅排名第12的动荡赛季,证明他在泰恩赛德的时代即将结束。

如果你抛开贾伊西来自沙特职业联赛这一事实,如果这次任命最终实现,将是一个耐人寻味的决定。

但你禁不住觉得,豪本可以在纽卡斯尔建立一个王朝,而这一切就这样结束了,真是遗憾。

持有者的忧虑

on? 我们在卖掉所有最好的球员吗?"

球员们是在休息日得知豪(Howe)离职的消息的,当时他们正飞往拉曼加(La Manga)参加季前训练营,而他们那位赢得联赛杯(Carabao Cup)冠军的主教练并未同行。但据了解,纽卡斯尔的权力掌控者们在两周前就已知晓豪想要离开,并制定了应急计划,其中贾西(Jaissie,左图)是他们的 No.1 目标。

如果这位前萨尔茨堡红牛(RB Salzburg)主帅希望让纽卡斯尔在接下来的赛季中取得比上赛季第 12 名更令人印象深刻的成绩,那么他将面临艰巨的任务。

希尔勒(Shearer)在接受 Betfair 采访时给贾西发出了警告:"球迷们看到伊萨克(Isak)走了,球迷们看到托纳利(Tonali)走了,球迷们看到戈登(Gordon)走了。"

"我的猜测是,布鲁诺(Bruno)离开也只是时间问题,因为他会看所有那些球员的情况,看埃迪(Eddie)的情况,然后想:'嗯,从个人角度来看,从他的角度来看,我想下一个轮到我了'。"

"这绝对不是一个好迹象,他们现在必须应对即将到来的艰难日子,因为面对的是未知。"

"我的意思是,如果贾西真的接任,你是在要求一个 38 岁的人接手并引导极其、极其棘手的局面。"

"英超是一个像猛兽一样的联赛。"

"在埃迪所做的一切之后,任何人接手都是一个巨大的挑战。"

£45m 罗德里将是皇马的绝佳抢购

来自后页

主教练恩佐·马雷斯卡(Enzo Maresca,上图)并未放弃说服罗德里(Rodri)将其未来留在曼彻斯特的蓝色半区,并希望这位 32 岁球员能签署一份新合同。

如果皇马是认真的,那么他们必须对转会费持有现实的态度,尽管事实是他在一月份就可以与皇马签署一份预签合同,并在明年夏天以自由身加盟。

与此同时,曼城正在推进引进里尔(Lille)之星艾尤布·布阿迪(Ayyoub Bouaddi)的交易,因为他们在以 £16m 的价格从诺丁汉森林(Nottingham Forest)招募埃利奥特·安德森(Elliot Anderson)之后,希望加强中场实力。

Bouaddi, 18, 在世界杯上代表摩洛哥出战,凭借其力量、传球和细腻的控球能力大放异彩。

里尔希望这名青少年球员能获得 £85m 的报价,他在世界杯之前就得到了曼城球探的推荐。个人条款将不是问题,但法国方面的报告称,里尔更希望曼城在赛季结束后将其租回。然而,由于罗德里的情况不确定,直接交易看起来更有可能。

英格兰后卫约翰·斯通斯(John Stones)在离开曼城后以自由身加盟国际米兰。

英足总加强禁赛威胁

英足总(FA)高层加强了相关规定,被认定有歧视行为的球员将面临至少 10 场的禁赛。

这比现有的 6 到 12 场的建议禁赛期有所增加。

违规行为清单包括明示或暗示涉及种族起源、肤色、种族、国籍、宗教、性别、性别认同、性别重塑、性取向或残疾。

这些规则同样适用于教练和官员。英足总警告道:"英足总致力于打造一个没有歧视的比赛环境。虽然已经取得了显著进展,但歧视行为在整个体育界仍然是一项挑战。"

纽卡斯尔传奇人物艾伦·希雷尔 (Alan Shearer) 在埃迪·豪 (Eddie Howe) 决定离职后,对他的心爱俱乐部的未来感到担忧。

豪 (如上图) 宣布结束他在圣詹姆斯公园 (St James' Park) 接近五年的任期,而距离他们在主场对阵利物浦的英超揭幕战仅剩 24 天。

“喜鹊军团”拟任命目前沙特职业联赛艾哈利队主教练马蒂亚斯·贾西 (Matthias Jaissie) 接任其职。

希雷尔对豪离职的时机感到震惊。

英格兰选择新西兰人弗莱明 (Fleming) 执教, 由鲁特 (Root) 担任队长,但传奇人物 沃恩 (Vaughan) 质疑:为什么新 教练不现在开始工作?

作者:约书亚·佩克 (JOSHUA PECK)

斯蒂芬·弗莱明 (STEPHEN FLEMING) 在被确认担任新任测试赛教练后,坚称英格兰队中拥有大量才华。

在本·斯托克斯 (Ben Stokes) 决定从国际赛退役后,乔·鲁特 (Joe Root) 重新回归队长之位。

弗莱明,53, 接替了同样来自新西兰的布兰登·麦卡伦 (Brendon McCullum)。英格兰自 2024 年 12 月以来尚未赢得过一个多场测试赛系列赛。

弗莱明表示:“球队内部和周围有很多年轻才俊。我们的目标是帮助他们发挥出世界级的潜力。”

弗莱明将缺席对阵巴基斯坦的系列赛,由马库斯·特雷斯科特克 (Marcus Trescothick) 担任临时主教练,这一点让迈克尔·沃恩感到惊讶。

这位前英格兰队长认为弗莱明应该现在就开始:“这意味着在灰烬杯 (The Ashes) 之前,他将只执教我们一场主场测试赛。”

首选替补 Imaan 夺得木兰花赛荣耀

Imaan Rasik-Healer 在昨日古德伍德举行的 Narkel Magnolia Cup 比赛中获得冠军,为充满挑战的一周画上了圆满句号。

这位 26 岁的骑师在纽马克特的 Kevin Philippart De Foy 处工作,并拥有马匹表现硕士学位。由于一系列不幸事件导致她在比赛选拔前的最后一次体能测试中缺席,因此成为了本次比赛的首选替补。

然而,由于 Press Association 的 Molly Hunter 自身健康出现问题,她的运气好转,使得 Rasik-Healer 能够策骑 Scott Dixon 的 Grey Horizon(在 Magnolia Cup 中以 Khor Al Adaid 之名参赛),最终以一场胜负分明的胜利大获全胜。

由 Melissa Jones 报道。

下方的 Rasik-Healer 成为继 2019 年 Khadijah Mediah 之后第二位赢得该赛事的穆斯林骑师,她表示:“我激动得说不出话来,这种感觉太棒了,我原以为自己不会赢,但这简直太神奇了。”

“我直到上周五才第一次骑它,我想,是的,这匹马很酷,感谢 Scott 让我骑它。”

“也要感谢 Amo 的团队。直到周六有一位骑师借给我靴子,我才有了靴子,而且他们还帮我准备了一双尺寸更小的。” “我们这样做是为了最美好的原因,这是一场慈善赛,旨在带来乐趣和享受,并筹集大量资金。”

TALL 指向 NIGHT

RAIDER (3.35) 胜出

古德伍德 (Goodwood) 的二级赛乔治国王卡塔尔锦标赛 (King George Qatar Stakes) 飞速五浪距赛。

卡尔·伯克 (Karl Burke) 训练的这匹快如闪电的马之前稍微欠缺一些可控性,这导致他在顶级冲刺距离赛事的关键时刻失去了机会。

然而,在接受阉割手术后,他在今年夏天表现极其出色,在五月纽马基特 (Newmarket) 的宫殿大厦锦标赛 (Palace House Stakes) 中击败了所有对手,该场比赛还包括 Rumstar(第二名)、Jim Jungle(第四名)和 Asfoora(第十名)。

Night Raider 在那场比赛中让对手们感到不适,随后在海多克 (Haydock) 的二级赛 Temple Stakes 中,他从中场位置发力超越领先者,展现了其战术上的多面性。

我的入选马去年在唐斯 (Downs) 仅获得第六名,但那是由于雨后软地而导致的一次非常规比赛,而他在竞争者较少的内侧赛道赢得了比赛。

回到更干硬的地面,Night Raider 将从 13 号闸位出发发起进攻,由于他之前在二级赛中获胜而承受 3 磅的权重处罚,他可能很难被追上;而从名次角度来看,Jakajaro 和 Aspect Island 最具竞争力。

1 NIGHT RAIDER

阉割手术帮助他将天赋转化为在三级赛和二级赛水平上的竞争力。五月在纽马基特的宫殿大厦锦标赛中领先于其中的好几匹马,人们期望他在詹姆斯·多伊尔 (James Doyle) 的策骑下,在一条适合他的赛道上从阿斯科特 (Ascot) 的失利中反弹。

2 AMERICAN AFFAIR

  1. 年的一级赛冠军冲刺马。在 Temple Stakes 中紧随 Night Raider 之后,表现稳健,但状态略低于巅峰,看起来不像以前那样快。

3 JAKAJARO

今年状态达到历史最佳。喜欢快步疾走,在草地赛季初,两次证明了其在 90 分档的让磅赛中极具竞争力。通过三次典型的勇猛表现,将状态提升到了组别赛水平。

RAID PARTY:Night Raider 速度极快

img-262.jpeg

且自去年夏天在该赛事中两次出战以来已有显著进步。前三名有力竞争者。

4 JM JUNGLE

去年的冠军,抽签在 Night Raider 旁边。由于近期高温,地面对他来说稍微太干硬了。目前状态尚可。

5 LAMBORGHINI BF

在瑞典训练,拥有草地和泥地冲刺赛的胜绩。评分为 106,面临的任务相当艰巨,但鉴于他参加了这场公开组别的赛事,仍值得关注。

6 PARTISAN HERO

在巴林度过了一个冬天后状态大增,从让磅赛晋级,并在桑当 (Sandown) 的 Coral Charge 赛中表现相当接近前列。在库拉 (Curragh) 的 Sapphire Stakes 良好至坚硬的地面上表现良好,应该能交出一份名次之外的成绩单。

7 RUMSTAR

七次获胜冠军,是乔纳森·波特曼 (Jonathan Portman) 马房的明星马。自四年前在该赛事的幼马赛中夺冠以来,评分提升了 20 磅,在 Coral Charge 赛后信心十足。目标是在这里向 Night Raider 报纽马基特之仇。

8 ASFOORA

在六岁时的辉煌赛季中,曾赢得一级赛 Nunthorpe 和 Prix de l'Abbaye 的冠军。继续保持训练,人们期望他在本月早些时候的桑当赛中(由 Rumstar 赢得)能为职业生涯画上圆满句号。但在起跑闸门时撞到了头,导致机会丧失。这次参赛是最后一次尝试。

9 AZURE ANGEL

眨眼器激发了这匹北方训练母马更多的潜力,目前处于职业生涯最高评分。缺乏赛道经验是一个劣势。

10 TIME FOR SANDALS

去年在负磅情况下,其差距不足一个马身,这是她在 2025 年的最佳表现。

img-263.jpeg

交易室绝密消息

img-264.jpeg

威廉希尔 的发言人 Leo Phelps 表示……

昨天有太多热门马,使得办公室的一天变得异常艰辛。

今天我们更有信心,参赛马群质量较高,竞争激烈。

主打赛事是第二组 乔治国王锦标赛 (3.35),NIGHT RAIDER (7-2) 的赔率从 RUMSTAR (9-2) 开始波动,而我没有看到对 SPICY MARG (12-1,此前为 14-1) 如此强力的支持。

赛程以一场两英里半的马拉松让量赛 (1.50) 开场。尽管 VALIANCY (3-1,此前为 14-1) 尚未证明自己能胜任此距离,但得到了大量资金支持,有望夺冠。由精明练马师 Tony Martin 操盘的 ALPHONSE LE GRANDE (6-1,此前为 11-1) 也是另一匹走势强劲的马。

在第三组 纯血马锦标赛 (2.25) 中,TALK OF NEW YORK 是一个温和的 4-7 热门,但资金正流向对抗 Goldiljehn 赛马的 SABER STRIKE (5-1,此前为 12-2),且后者看起来很能适应这次的距离提升。

黄金英里赛 (3.00) 始终是赛季中竞争最激烈的让量赛之一。

练马师 David Mcmaisier 在五年前赢得了这场比赛,他的 TRIBAL CHIEF 去年获得第六名,此次赔率从 17-2 缩减至 6-1,有望取得更好的名次。

值得关注的是由 Ian Williams 训练的 OZAT (25-1,此前为 48-1),由状态火热的 Billy Loughnane 骑乘,且在高赔率区间吸引了资金。

在 10 浪程的条件赛 (4.10) 中,CALEN (10-3,此前为 4-1) 和 CROWN OF OAKS (9-1,此前为 11-1) 是两匹获得支持的马。

在两岁马育马让量赛 (4.40) 中,热门马 DUBAI CHAMPION (10-3,此前为 11-2) 和 INNICHEN (5-1,此前为 6-1) 主导了投注市场。

William Haggis 的 PIERIAN (11-2,此前为 6-1) 在倒数第二场让量赛 (5.20) 的市场中受到关注,而 Ryan Mook 的 ROOM FOURTEEN (2-1,此前为 3-1) 则是最后一场 50 磅让量赛 (2.25) 的大热门。

英联邦杯。本赛季到目前为止在冲刺阶段缺乏爆发力。

11 ASPECT ISLAND

由状态极佳的练马师 James Owen 重点培养,在几天恢复期后连续参加查尔斯三世锦标赛和英联邦杯。一匹佩戴颊带的强韧赛马。在平坦赛道表现最佳。

12 BRUSSELS

在三岁赛季的前两场比赛中领跑,但在最后阶段没有额外爆发力。在蓝宝石锦标赛中获得第五名,是一个积极信号,胜算在很大程度上取决于其战术执行情况。

13 DICKENSIAN

表现稳健但并不出彩,需要大幅提升。

14 ARGENTINE TANGO

在艾尔的列级 Land O'Burns 雌马锦标赛中,在较软的场地恢复了状态。一个诚实的竞争者,但与 Night Raider 之间仍有差距。赛道起伏不会成为问题。

15 SPICY MARG

以 50-1 的赔率在英联邦杯中出人意料地获得亚军。如果能抽到有利的起跑位置并重现该状态,将构成威胁。

Martin 有个宏大计划

作者:球探 (The Scout)

(Melissa Jones)

ALPHONSE LE GRANDE (1.50) 被看好利用其耐力在 2英里 4 赛段的 Coral 古德伍德让赛 (Goodwood Handicap) 中夺冠!

托尼·马丁 (Tony Martin) 训练的这匹马分值回到了 87,这是他在 2024 年 10 月赢得同样考验耐力的塞萨罗维奇锦标赛 (Cesarewitch) 时的分值。

从目前的让赛位置来看,他在 6 月纽卡斯尔的诺森伯兰花瓶赛 (Northumberland Vase) 中在再次面对 Bellovitandocan 时获得第五名,展现出的状态明显优于近几个月。

在比今日赛程仅短半个弗隆 (furlong) 的 2025 年皇家盛会之雅斯科特锦标赛 (Ascot Stakes) 中,Alphonse Le Grande 因遭遇阻挡,最终仅以三个马身之差落败。

此后,他曾在七个不同的赛道上参赛,这次他将由塞萨罗维奇锦标赛冠军骑师杰米·鲍威尔 (Jamie Powell) 引导,在 8 号闸位出赛。

由于 Saber Strike 目前在赛道上没有展现出在操练时的速度,TALK OF NEW YORK (2.25) 成为三级赛 HKJC 世界马池纯血马锦标赛 (HKJC World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes) 的首选。

与在圣詹姆斯宫锦标赛 (St James's Palace Stakes) 中面对顶尖三岁马 Bow Echo 和 Gstaad 时相比,这次的级别有所下降。

查理·阿普尔比 (Charlie Appleby) 在几周前将其描述为“仍在进步中”,在桑当公园 (Sandown Park) 的列级赛 Heron 锦标赛 (Heron Stakes) 中以五个半马身大胜对手后,他在这项运动的夏季盛典中

img-267.jpeg

戴着标志性的头套完成了一次体面的尝试。

由于他在官方数据上领先 7 个位置以上,如果他不能拿下这个被视为赛马版“点球大战”的比赛,将会令人失望。

Tribal Chief 在大型让赛中的运气迟早会好转,他应该出现在 Coral 金色一英里赛 (Coral Golden Mile) 的每一份候选名单中,这场比赛有 22 匹马参赛,竞争依然激烈。

在皇家猎杯 (Royal Hunt Cup) 中落后于罗杰·瓦里安 (Roger Varian) 之前的赛前热门四名、表现稳定可靠的 Indalo 和 Scoville 也是潜在竞争者。

然而,这可能是 BLUE BROTHER (3.06) 的主场之日,此前他在备受期待的白金汉宫锦标赛 (Buckingham Palace Stakes) 中在 28 匹马中获得第四名。当领先的 River King 偏离看台侧护栏时,詹姆斯·多尔 (James Doyle) 发起冲刺,但由于是一年来首次参赛,在争夺奖金时,他发现处于竞技状态的对手实力更强。

这也标志着他迟到的七弗隆赛程回归,因此有理由相信他能有所提升;此外,他抽到了个位数号位,而过去 20 场比赛中有 12 场冠军出自该区间,这又满足了另一个重要条件。

摄政七海邮轮 Bentinck 条件赛 (Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck Conditions Stakes) 实在令人难以捉摸,结果将取决于哪匹马的欲望最强。

JONQUIL (4.10) 是参赛九匹马中最有才华的之一,曾在更强的竞争对手中赢得过本场赛道冠军,且在降低目标时表现一直可靠。

img-268.jpeg

他能行!

Jonquil 能够解开 4.10 赛场的难题。

THE HUSCLET

钻石项链 (Diamond Necklace) 刻下印记

确立自己作为领先雌马的地位

DIAMOND NECKLACE 在阳光下闪耀,在奖金为 £600,000 的第一组别卡塔尔纳索锦标赛 (Qatar Nassau Stakes) 中保持了完美记录。

尽管她在 5 场比赛中保持不败的记录非常亮眼,但有些人担心这位与埃丹·奥布莱恩 (Aidan O'Brien) 麾下的分项赛冠军 Magic Wand 和 Chicquita 同父异母的妹妹在面对年长马匹时会失手。

然而,同一马房的 Moments Of Joy 是最快进入状态的,并在十 the furlong 起跑后的混乱奔跑中排除了一个威胁。

在威廉·布克 (William Buick) 的策骑下,Friendly Soul 在接近主直道切入点时出现在她的肩侧,但瑞安·摩尔 (Ryan Moore) 紧随其后,骑乘着赔率 4-6 的热门马。

在坡道上进行的一场马匹“猫鼠游戏”中,领跑马一度领先一个马身,但当 Diamond Necklace 突然发力时,比赛迅速结束。

凭借背负重量减轻 9 磅的优势,她立即将领先优势扩大到两个四分之三马身,随后又进一步拉开了 5 个马身。

See The Fire 再次获得名次,此前在面对奥布莱恩的雌马 Opera Singer (2024) 和 Whirl (2025) 时显得底蕴不足。

“这是她感觉最好的一次,”摩尔说道。在马赛·布斯卡克奖 (Prix Marcel Bouscac)、一千基尼赛 (1,000 Guineas) 和法国橡树大赛 (Oaks) 之后,他为自己和 Diamond Necklace 的顶尖记录完成了赛事的“帽子戏法”。“她现在感觉就像一台真正的赛车——奔跑、加速,并且能完成所有要求的动作。”

img-274.jpeg

“十 (furlongs) 可能是她的最佳距离,但由于她面对的是那些顶尖马匹且表现得无懈可击,所以她有可能在更长距离上坚持下来。”

大多数博彩公司将 Diamond Necklace 在 10 月 5 日于巴黎隆尚马场举行的凯旋门大奖赛 (Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe) 的赔率下调至 8-1。

她的赔率与奥布莱恩最顶尖的三岁雄马 Constitution River 相同。奥布莱恩将在做出任何关于赛季末盛会的坚定承诺之前,观察局势发展。他补充道:“下一次出赛将告诉我们她将走向何方。Diamond Necklace 质量极高。”

“Constitution River 同样将拥有所有选择。”

摩尔在骑乘另一匹来自巴利多尔 (Ballydoyle) 的参赛马 Man's Best Friend (11-2) 时面临着更艰巨的任务,在第二组别马凯尔·里奇蒙锦标赛 (Markel Richmond Stakes) 中,他必须在瞬间做出决定以摆脱困境并寻找最佳赛道。

这匹幼马在参加一场有 18 匹马竞争的纳斯 (Naas) 纯血马赛并获得首胜后,仅过了 8 天就跨越爱尔兰海参赛。

“他还是匹幼马,”奥布莱恩说。

“我们认为今天把他带到这里对他会有好处——无论输赢。”

“瑞安说在整个比赛过程中他都没有出路,但他很喜欢这匹马。”

古德伍德 2026 第 4 天

晚报:全是艾迪 (ALL EDDY)!

迪伦的坐骑在轻松获胜后看来有望参加圣莱格赛 (St Leger)

作者:Melissa Jones

在 Maison Perrier Gordon Stakes 比赛中,INCELADUS 迅速解决了战斗,让他的热门支持者们欣喜不已。

在这场 Group Three 赛事前,该马获得了 6-4 的强力支持。Dylan Browne McMonagle 很高兴能骑乘这匹 Sea The Stars 的后代马匹并取得领先,其级别正在提升。

在距离终点两浪杆(two-furlong pole)附近,McMonagle 催促并拉出马匹发起挑战,他的坐骑强力冲向领先位置,率先压制住另一匹来自爱尔兰的参赛马 Geryon。

尽管在滚动下坡时向右倾斜,但 Enceladus 依然牢牢掌控局面。威廉希尔 (William Hill) 给出的赔率是 14-1,预测它将在 9 月 12 日于唐卡斯特举行的 Betfred St Leger 比赛中再次制胜。McMonagle 表示:“我确定距离对他来说没有问题,他的档位切换也很流畅。”McMonagle 的老板 Joseph O'Brien 曾在 2013 年为父亲 Aidan 骑乘 Leading Light 在 Town Moor 夺冠,七年后又成功训练出 Galileo Chrome。

“他正变得越来越好,随着经验的增加,状态在变得犀利。他现在还像个大婴儿——我认为他以后会成为一匹非常优秀的马。”

在 Coral Kincsem Heritage Handicap 比赛开始前,性格古怪的年轻马 Ciarrai Abu 难以控制,但在关键时刻,它将能量引导到了正确方向。

这匹马由 Harry Eustace 旗下最佳赛马 Docklands 背后的团队所有。这匹脱缰之马在离开赛前巡场时,曾一度将骑师

George Wood 甩出去。

Wood 紧紧抓住了缰绳,但当 Ciarrai Abu 在稳步向终点慢跑且看似平静之时,它突然对某物产生反感并再次失控,Wood 毫无反抗机会。

两人随后被判定身体状况良好可参赛。除了在最后阶段有一点跑偏,整体表现相当平稳。这匹赔率 100-30 的马击败了后劲十足的 Bourbon Blues (25-1) 和节奏稳定的 Evanesco (11-1)。

“他不是最听话的,”Wood 说道。由于在骑行中让马向左漂移且未进行充分修正,他因粗心骑行被处以三日禁赛。

“但他动力十足。Harry (Eustace) 每天与它打交道,真是太不容易了。”

GEORGE BOUGHEY 对今天下午赛事的挑选

CONSISTENT CASTLE WILL KEEP LONG

我们在进入古德伍德节日(Datin Goodwood Festival)的第四天,在赛程单中拥有几个相当不错的机会。

WATERFORD CASTLE (5.20) 一直是稳定性的一把好手,尽管还没有完全为我们成功抢到领先位置。

古德伍德的挑战要求和三浪程(three furloops),结合首次佩戴的遮眼罩,可能会激发出他的最佳状态。

他在家中的训练表现一直高于平均水平,现在只需要时机对他有利。今天对他当地的马主来说也是重要的一天,因此将目标锁定在这一场比赛是非常合理的。

LADY DORA MAE (5.55) 以极佳的状态抵达这里,并且已经证明她能够适应这条赛道,此前在这一赛道和距离的一场列级赛(Listed race)中获得第二名。

她上次表现不错,但可能是出赛过于匆忙,而且在被牵制的情况下,骑行位置比理想位置更靠后。

此后她得到了休息调整,我认为她今天有很大的机会。在乔治国王奖杯赛(King George)中,我认为快速下坡的五浪程可能适合 SPICY MARG (3.35)。

有些马在约克(York)表现不佳,而她在皇家阿斯科特(Royal Ascot)的一组赛(Group One)中凭借其假体首秀获得第二名,表现出色。

她此前曾在此赛道和距离上获得冠军,我认为在这次看起来略显疲软的更新赛中,她具有不错的两路投注(each-way)胜算。

Hats off to jockey Gemma

img-4.jpeg

FLAMBOYANT hats and fabulous florals helped to put the "Glorious" into Goodwood as racegoers dressed to impress for Ladies' Day yesterday.

But it was jockey Gemma Owen, 23, who stole the limelight as she made her debut in the annual Markel Magnolia Cup charity race at the West Sussex course.

The Love Island star, daughter of England football legend Michael Owen, finished an impressive fourth riding Turbo Trotter.

Proud

The horse was from her father's Manor House Stables. And proud Michael, 46, was trackside to cheer her on, although he was nervous. He said: "Going 40mph on a horse is never the safest thing to do and when it's your daughter, it makes it extra nerve-racking, but she's a very capable rider."

Determined Gemma said: "I want to win now. I'll end up doing another race so I can get that first place."

Retirement housing ‘complete failure’ as elderly fear buying

BY LAURA ZILINCANOVA

“UTTERLY astonishingly bad” resale values, soaring service charges and high ground rents are putting older people off buying homes designed to support them, an industry expert has warned.

Instead, many are downsizing into conventional homes that may be unsuitable for their needs – missing out on the security, support and community that purpose-built accommodation should provide.

Sebastian O’Kelly, director of the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership, a charity that gives free advice, told the Express: “Retirement housing in the UK can be characterised as a complete failure.

“Given the unending scandals in the sector it is not surprising that families on the whole avoid it.”

Retirement apartments in the UK are designed to help older people live independently, with accessible layouts, emergency call systems, communal spaces and, in some developments, on-site staff.

For many residents, they offer a middle ground between a regular flat and care home. But for their families, inheriting one is an ordeal,

img-9.jpeg

with some taking years to sell. Mr O’Kelly thinks it is “absurd” that older people are making expensive, new-build property purchases when the “vast majority would do better for their families by renting”.

Pointing to the resale values, he said: “Flats are often bought owing to an immediate crisis with little thought to the long-term consequences.” This vulnerability makes buyers more susceptible to “highly aggressive” lease terms.

He wants Labour to stop helping developers of these homes with taxpayers’ cash. “The government could stop Homes England [its housing and regeneration agency] doling out public money to build more of these failures,” he said.

Janet Talman, 58, has been trying to sell her late parents’ two-bed flat in Maidenhead, Berks, for 2½ years.

Bought for £400,000 in 2022, the asking price is now £175,000, while monthly service charges have grown to more than £1,000 and council tax has doubled to £5,230 a year due to empty home penalties.

Ms Talman, who lives in Surrey, told the Express, which is campaigning against the retirement flat trap, that buying one had “felt like

the right option” at the time, as her parents did not need a care home. They were in their 80s and benefited from the “lovely” spaces and community. But after they died in 2023, Ms Talman and her sister inherited a “financial nightmare” that “won’t make any money”.

Families can claim a council tax exemption while probate is under way and for up to six months afterwards. But if a home remains unsold, some councils impose a premium of up to 100%.

Private developers – the main providers of specialist retirement housing – typically own the land and, therefore, freehold. So when someone buys a flat, they enter into a lease agreement with them.

Unless this includes a buy-back clause, the developer is under no obligation to repurchase the flat or sell it on the owner’s behalf.

Ms Talman said: “What really bugs me is that my parents signed up to this. We never signed anything to

say we were happy with the lease terms. You have a vulnerable buyer thinking this is the only option and the solicitor processing it without discussing the risks and certainly not making any effort to discuss them with those inheriting the flat. I’d call them lazy solicitors.”

Charges

She also does not remember her solicitors highlighting the challenges that the family might face in selling the property. “I would have certainly considered not accepting this flat if I’d have known,” she said.

Another family, who asked not to be named, have had six separate buyers back out since 2022.

After their 103-year-old mother-in-law died, they cut the asking price from £100,000 to £75,000.

But the service charges and a £32,400 sinking fund to pay for major, infrequent structural repairs have put people off. The daughter-

in-law, who is paying £420 a month in ongoing bills while caring for her cancer-stricken husband, said: “Mum thought she was leaving an inheritance but it’s a millstone around our necks. There won’t be any money left after the sale.”

Homes England has not said how many millions it has given developers of retirement flats. An estimated 10,000 sit empty in England and Wales. A spokesman for the agency said: “Our role is to deliver on government policy, which we do not set or comment on.

“Our focus is on working in collaboration with local leaders and partners to deliver much-needed homes in vibrant, inclusive communities, which take a variety of different designs and tenures depending on the needs of people and places.”

RETIREMENT housing in the UK can be characterised as a complete failure.

Only around 2% of over-65s live in designated retirement housing compared with around 16% in North America and Australasia.

And given the unending scandals in the sector, it is not surprising that families on the whole avoid this form of housing.

Most of the elderly simply downsize to ordinary flats and smaller houses, and there is abundant evidence that from a financial viewpoint they are right to do so.

Retirement housing has been characterised by high service charges, very high ground rents for no service at all – now illegal to introduce on new housing – and utterly astonishingly bad resale values, as evidenced on the Land Registry.

The freeholds have been purchased by financiers, lured by the high income streams available.

There is little the government can do to make the lives of those who have bought these leases much better now.

After all, highly aggressive

Stop doling out public money to build more of these failures

lease terms were accepted by the buyers and nodded through by at best complacent solicitors and at worst just stooges for the actual sellers.

But the government could stop Homes England doling out public money to build more of these failures.

The trail of wealth erosion involved is all too clear, yet nonetheless repeatedly denied by house builders.

But buyers still sign up, gulled by the uniformed sales staff that somehow or other a retirement flat is the answer.

Flats are often bought owing to an immediate crisis – bereavement, for example – with little thought to the actual long-term consequences.

It is absurd that people in their late eighties are making expensive, new-build property purchases, and the vast majority would – from a financial viewpoint – do better for their families by renting a property.

Nonetheless, these considerations are financial.

Retirement housing is excellent for lonely older people who no longer want to live in a large family home.

BACKLASH AT INFANTINO'S SELL-OFF SCHEME

'World Cup belongs to football. It always will'

img-12.jpeg

FROM PAGE ONE

Spain and Portugal. An FA spokeswoman said last night: "We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view.

"We oppose Fifa's plans – the Fifa World Cup belongs to football and always will."

Infantino sparked outrage when he unveiled a scheme to let private equity firms snap up stakes in the 96-year-old competition.

The £3.1billion sell-off would involve New York venture capital firm Thrive Capital – led by Joshua Kushner, brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.

It was even slammed by Infantino's shamed predecessor Sepp Blatter, 90, who said: "The Fifa World Cup is not a commercial asset that belongs to a handful of executives. It is part of the cultural heritage of world football."

The 55 Uefa members voted to boycott men and women's World Cups and the Club World Cup if Infantino's plan goes

ahead. Top European teams such as England, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands plus hosts Spain and Portugal may shun the 2030 Cup. The Concacaf body of 41 nations in

North and Central America and the Caribbean, also rejected Infantino's idea, though they stopped short of threatening a boycott.

PM Andy Burnham slammed the plan, saying: "Football does not belong to investors. The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport.

"Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out."

And Reform UK leader Nigel Farage called for Infantino to resign. Elected Fifa president in 2016, the Swiss-born chief has picked up solid backing from countries in

Africa, Asia and the Americas over the years, as they have gained financially from policies he managed. They include the expansion of the World Cup to 48 teams, the growth in commercial revenue and

millions of pounds in direct funding every year.

Infantino's support may comprise more than half of Fifa's 211 members and, since votes of the governing body require a simple majority, if more

than half vote in favour it means his plan goes ahead.

In what has been blasted as a "bribe", Infantino told all 211 they would receive £30m if they backed the project – with a dead-

line of September 19 to accept and access an initial £15m.

However he may now be forced to climb down, given Uefa's tough response. Its boycott would first be tested in October with the Women's World Cup play-offs.

Uefa said last night: "We unanimously and unequivocally reject Fifa's proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup...to private investors.

"The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It has been built over generations by players, national teams and supporters across every continent.

"No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors."

Uefa fears that by involving private equity, demand would grow for Fifa competitions to be bigger and more frequent – leading to pressure on the rest of the calendar and higher ticket prices.

It added: "This is not merely a profound failure of leadership but an abdication of Fifa's duty as the custodian of world football.

"Some things are simply too important to sell. The Fifa World Cup belongs to football. It always will." Insiders say the clash may end up becoming a power struggle between Infantino and Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin, a Slovenian lawyer.

COMMENT

ANDY DUNN

Football writer

OVER the course of the World Cup, Gianni Infantino attended 45 matches and was captured by television cameras at every one of them.

Rarely was there a moment when he was not wearing a smug look. Record-breaking commercial income was on its way, stadiums were full and he had a $20billion trick up his sleeve.

He was going to flog off the rights to the greatest sporting show on earth to private investors, dressing it up as a way of making extra cash for Fifa's 211 member nations.

Well, 55 of those member nations have told him what he can do with his scheme. Ditch it or face not having a World Cup at all. Or a Women's World Cup. Or a Club World Cup. Or any Fifa-organised World Cup.

Because without the European nations, there is no World Cup. Of any kind. You can bet Gianni is not looking so smug today. Uefa could not have been more unequivocal.

But its statement goes way beyond announcing a boycott of Fifa competitions, in itself a seismic decision. It lacerates Infantino's integrity and morality. It lays his fitness for purpose to waste.

When talking of it being "irresponsible and indefensible" the Fifa proposal was "conceived in secret", it is referring to Infantino.

Intimidation

When talking of a "profound failure of leadership", it is referring to Infantino. When talking of "an abdication of Fifa's duty as the custodian of world football", it is referring to Infantino. When talking of "governance by intimidation", it is referring to Infantino.

This is Uefa, the association whose teams dominate the World Cup. And in its landmark emergency meeting, it not only made sure Infantino's scheme is dead in the water, it dismantled the character of the man in charge of world football, the man who Donald Trump believes would make a good secretary general of Nato.

Well, perhaps Trump can get his mate the Nato gig because his position as Fifa president is now untenable. Infantino's thick skin is the stuff of legend but it is impossible to see how he can stay in his post.

It needs to be said that Uefa has not been slow to commercialise European football but that is another story. It has been gunning for Infantino for some time.

And with this disgraceful, ill-judged, avaricious, mood-ignorant plot, Infantino has left himself open to be taken down. Uefa has taken its chance with cold brutality.

Infantino has to go.

Voters deliver first test for PM Burnham

BY KATIE HARRIS, Senior Political Correspondent

ANDY Burnham faces the first electoral test of his premiership after voters took to the polls yesterday to pick his successor as Greater Manchester mayor.

The by-election, which is set to cost millions of pounds, was triggered when Mr Burnham quit earlier this year as part of his bid to become Prime Minister.

Labour's Bev Craig - the leader of Manchester City Council - is widely expected to win the Greater Manchester contest. The result is due this afternoon. She cast her vote at Broad Oak Primary, in Didsbury, yesterday.

Polling gave her a 20 percentage point lead over Reform UK candidate Sian Astley, an interior designer and builder, representing Baguley ward.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warned: "Greater Manchester needs a fixer. It needs someone with real-life experience of building successful businesses from scratch, not yet another career politician who will keep enriching the city centre while leaving behind towns like Bolton and Wigan."

Dumped

Mr Farage said Reform's Ms Astley would "bring life back to high streets, stop illegal migrants being dumped on towns and open the books so people can finally see how their tax money has been spent".

Wading into the contest, PM Mr Burnham said Ms Craig would make sure "every town, every borough" shares in the region's success. He added: "Bev will focus on putting more money in your pocket, giving families more breathing space on the cost of living, and making sure young people across every borough have the opportunities they need to thrive.

"Bev will do this by working in lockstep with every community across our city region so we can shape our future together."

Polling earlier this week by More in Common put Labour in the lead with 39%, Reform UK on 19%, the Greens on 14% and the Tories on 12%.

Residents of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan were able to vote. Mr Burnham stepped down after winning the Makerfield by-election in June.

Mayor plots cash boost for residents

BY STEPH SPYRO

Deputy Political Editor

LOCALS could get a tax rebate when metro mayors are given more power in the spring.

Tory Tees Valley leader Ben Houchen is already in talks with the Treasury about how to do it.

He said: "Every mayor is backing fiscal devolution because they want more money to spend.

"However, if the Tees Valley is handed a slice of local income tax and business rates generated locally, I'll create a rebate scheme to put money back into people's pockets and let families keep more of the money they earn.

Competitive

"Fiscal devolution must be about giving places like Teesside the power to do things differently, back growth and reward the people that drive our local economy instead of squeezing every last penny out of them."

Mr Houchen has led the Tees Valley region of 700,000 residents since 2017. He wants to make it "a more attractive place and a more competitive place to invest in than Manchester and London".

PM Andy Burnham, who was Mayor of Greater Manchester until June, will outline his devolution dream today.

It will include mayors retaining a bigger share of locally generated revenues, starting with business rates. Details will be fleshed out at the autumn Budget. The PM is due to say: "Every local leader will have the power and resources to improve public transport, build homes and create jobs."

Pensioners' income tax bill surges to £30billion per year

PENSIONERS pay an eye-watering £30billion a year in income tax.

The sum handed to the tax office by retirees has soared from £21.1bn in 2022/23 to £29.8bn in 2024/25, according to HMRC data.

This is largely due to frozen tax thresholds. The bandings drag more and more people into paying income tax or at higher levels.

But it also means the government faces higher costs for income tax relief on pension contributions, which are tax-free to certain limits.

They cost £47.8bn in 2022/23, but £60.4bn in 2024/25.

This is because more people are being pulled into the higher tax rate where relief is 40%, compared with 20% for basic-rate taxpayers.

Former pensions minister Sir Steve Webb, a partner at pensions

consultancy LCP, said: "The constant freezing of tax thresholds and allowances has dragged millions more people into paying higher rates of income tax.

"The flip side of this is that when they pay into a pension they get more tax relief, leading the cost of tax relief to soar.

"But frozen personal allowances mean that the number of pensioners paying income tax has also risen steeply, and the tax

bill on pensioners is up dramatically.

"In all the discussion about fairness between generations it is important to remember that pensioners are also paying growing amounts back to the

img-16.jpeg

Exchequer - around £30bn in income tax on their pensions in the latest figures.

"Although the government may be tempted to slash tax relief to reduce this rising cost, the politics become very difficult halfway through a parliament.

"Any change would be complex and technical, and could take years

to implement. It would deliver little money this side of the next election but would be hugely politically unpopular.

"The government may well conclude that it simply has to live with the rising cost of tax relief for now."

Separate HMRC figures from earlier this month show the number of pensioners paying income tax jumped from 7.1 million in 2022/23 to 9.6 million in 2026/27.

It comes as the tax-free personal allowance has been frozen at £12,570 since 2021/22, while the state pension value has increased significantly due to higher inflation rates in recent years and the triple-lock - which ensures it rises by the higher of inflation, average wage growth

CHANNEL NIGHTMARE FOR PM

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor

ANDY Burnham's Channel migrant nightmare intensified yesterday as four people died trying to reach the UK after a record day for crossings.

Three women were found dead near the port of Dunkirk and a man in his 30s died off Dannes after a capsize, when around 100 other migrants attempted to board the dinghy he was on.

The Home Office said 752 people landed in the UK on Wednesday in nine boats – an average of 84 per vessel – as smugglers smashed the record daily total for this year.

The year's previous daily high had been 710.

It reinforces fears that criminal gangs have switched to bigger boats, with some networks now cramming more than 100 people into some dinghies.

US President Donald Trump warned Mr Burnham that mass migration is "killing your country", adding: "It's an invasion and the UK is a prime suspect."

It comes just days after the Prime Minister insisted government plans to curb Channel crossings were "working", although he admitted there was "more to do".

Capsized

Mr Burnham stood by his comments during a visit to Cumbria yesterday, maintaining that "progress is being made on all fronts".

He said "significant progress" had been made in reducing the number of crossings and praised Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's efforts.

But he added that more work was needed to "get a grip on the issue" and "get those numbers right down".

The death toll this year increased to 14 as the latest fatalities were confirmed.

The three women who died yesterday were found by a French rescue ship on a "taxi boat", that may have stopped to pick up more migrants from the Dunkirk beach.

The man died as six others – including a small baby – were injured during an attempted overnight Channel crossing.

He had been on a dinghy for 16 hours when it capsized as about 100 people tried to climb on between Hardelot and Dannes, it was said.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said: "Successive governments

img-18.jpeg

img-19.jpeg

failed to stop the boats because they were trying to fix the symptoms, not the cause.

"If people know they can stay and claim benefits, they'll keep coming. If they know they'll be removed, they won't come. We must change the incentives. That's why the Conservative Borders

Plan leaves the ECHR, giving us the power to ban asylum claims from illegal entrants, and remove new arrivals within a week.

"That's why we will make it harder for non-citizens to claim welfare and housing benefits.

"This is common sense. And this is how we will take back

control of our borders for good." Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp added: "Illegal Channel crossings are extremely dangerous and put lives at risk. Every one of these tragic deaths was preventable. The only way to save lives is to stop the crossings completely.

"And the only way we can stop the crossings is by having a proper deterrent.

"If people know they can stay in the UK, get put up in a hotel and claim benefits then they will keep risking these dangerous journeys.

"Instead, if they know they will be quickly removed then they will not cross in the first place.

"We must end the incentive to illegally enter the UK."

Pictures yesterday showed the remains of an inflatable boat on

the beach in Hardelot, France, following a failed attempt by suspected migrants to board the vessel and cross the Channel.

The latest arrivals take the provisional total for the year so far to 14,128.

Incentives

A Home Office spokesman said: "This government is bearing down on small boat crossings, with removals of small boat migrants at record levels and asylum claims down by 12%.

"We have removed or deported almost 70,000 people who were here illegally, an increase of 41%, and are going further to remove the incentives that draw illegal migrants to this country."

Migrant held over 'indecent child images on phone'

AN ASYLUM seeker at the controversial Crowborough migrant site has been arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children.

It is understood the disturbing illegal material was found on the man's phone at the training camp, in East Sussex, where around 5:40 male asylum seekers are housed.

The National Crime Agency confirmed that "a man in his 20s was arrested in the Crowborough area on July 10 on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children".

A source revealed the man was spoken to about his bail conditions by officers in the camp but the details have not been released.

BY RICHARD ASHMORE

The NCA added: "It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."

The Daily Express understands locals had become increasingly frustrated with the Home Office's handling of the incident after rumours had been circulating locally about the arrest. The images are not related to children in Crowborough.

Crowborough Deputy Mayor Clir Peter Bucklitsch told the Daily Express the council was forced to seek clarifications from the NCA over the incident after being met with "dismissive responses and a failure to engage

meaningfully" by the Home Office. He added: "I am angry and deeply frustrated that Crowborough has once again been let down [by the Home Office].

"Our residents have every right to expect that when a serious incident occurs at the camp, their elected representatives will receive sufficient information to reassure the public and respond to legitimate concerns."

Sussex Police said it was continuing to support the community and urged those with concerns to speak to officers.

A Home Office spokeswoman said: "This is an extremely concerning report and the NCA has our full support in its investigation."

REPLACING gas hobs with electric versions can drastically improve asthma symptoms, research has shown.

US scientists found the average patient improved drastically and had fewer flare ups.

That meant reduced hospital visits and days off work as nitrogen dioxide levels dropped.

The study measured asthma symptoms and household air quality in 85 homes before and after the hob switch.

Paul Moore, 37, from Cleveland, Ohio, has been able to play basketball with his children for the first time in more than a decade after the change.

He said: "It is something so small that has transformed my life.

He said: "An average participant went from having moderate asthma symptoms to mild asthma symptoms."

Burnham announces £8.4bn spend on nuclear subs...again

Picture: CHRISTOPHER FURLONG/GETTY

ANDY Burnham announced the next phase of Britain's nuclear submarine programme... as the Tories insisted it was a re-run of cash already agreed.

The Prime Minister used a visit to Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, to confirm the £8.4billion investment in the UK's nuclear deterrent.

Whitehall officials said the cash would back tens of thousands of jobs and 22,000 apprenticeships.

The first of four new subs, HMS Dreadnought, is expected to enter service in the 2030s.

But the announcement was swiftly dismissed by the Conservatives.

Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge pointed out the money had

BY AARON NEWBURY

Political Correspondent

already been confirmed under the Defence Investment Plan agreed by Sir Keir Starmer's government.

Mr Cartlidge added: "Whilst this would appear to be a reannouncement of funding previously confirmed in the DIP, we nevertheless welcome continued progress on the Dreadnought programme."

He added: "It's concerning that there is still no detail at all on the big promise of the Strategic Defence Review, which was the procurement of 'up to 12' attack submarines."

Mr Cartlidge said Mr Burnham is

"adding to the uncertainty by failing to commit to the very pathway to 3%, which his Chancellor [John Healey] demanded when he resigned as Defence Secretary".

Dangerous

Announcing the cash, Mr Burnham said: "Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government – but security is not only about what we build, it is about who builds it and who benefits from it."

He promised: "British money, spent on British workers, British firms and British skills, in the places that were written off for 40 years." Defence

Secretary Wes Streeting said the submarines are "essential to keeping the UK secure, acting as the ultimate deterrent to our adversaries in an increasingly dangerous world".

But the Green Party accused ministers of misplaced priorities.

Dr Ellie Chowns said: "For families across Britain, real security does not mean pouring billions into weapons that must never be used." She said the government should focus on "unlocking opportunities in the clean, green economy", warning against "locking us deeper into cold-war era tech".

Of the £8.4bn, £5.9bn will go to BAE Systems in Barrow, with £2.5bn across the wider UK supply chain.

PREMIER 'FELT HE WAS IMPOSTOR' DUE TO WORKING-CLASS BACKGROUND

Andy Burnham in his university football team

CAMBRIDGE graduate Andy Burnham says that he felt "impostor syndrome" when he saw his contemporaries walk into good jobs because of their connections.

This was despite him working as a researcher for late Labour MP Tessa Jowell four years after he left university and then becoming a special adviser soon afterwards.

Mr Burnham, who became PM nearly two weeks ago after returning to Parliament via his victory in the Makerfield by-election last month, said that the initial stages of his career were shaped by a lack of connections and contacts in the sectors where he wanted to work.

He said: "What I realised was when I lived through it was that it's actually connected parents that often make

BY STEPH SPYRO

the difference. I think it is true of young people from working-class backgrounds it can take a longer time to feel they belong and to feel they've got the confidence to speak out in a room where other people appear to be more confident communicators than you are."

Shadowing

Mr Burnham told Jimmy McLaughlin on the Jimmy's Jobs of the Future podcast: "Anybody in a senior position in any walk of life in Britain should offer work shadowing.

"Just let a young person, particularly from a background that might not be connected to yours, just

come in and just be in the room. They do feel that impostor syndrome, and they think, 'Well, I can't be here'.

"But the truth is they can be there once they are in the room.

"They can see how it works, and confidence can build."

Tories accused the PM of failing to build a "genuine meritocracy" when it came to picking his Cabinet.

Mr Burnham purged loyalists to his predecessor Sir Keir Starmer and faced criticism for appointing Wes Streeting to defence's top job despite the MP lacking experience in the area.

A Conservative Party source said: "There is more than a hint of nepotism around some of the appointments. Andy might need to look close to home if he wants to build a genuine meritocracy."

Poorly OAP prosecuted over £3 bill

A PARKINSON'S disease sufferer aged 86 who no longer drives or controls his finances has been prosecuted over six weeks of unpaid car tax.

The unnamed OAP, from the Newcastle area, was taken to court by the DVLA despite an £80 fine being paid on his behalf.

The man, whose wife has Alzheimer's, owed £3.34.

In a letter to Lincoln magistrates court, he said the annual £20 tax bill on his Ford Fiesta accidentally went unpaid when his daughter, who has power of attorney, moved house.

He said he detailed the circumstances when the DVLA wrote to him and pleaded guilty by post.

But the agency would not have seen his mitigation under the Single Justice Procedure, which lets JPs rule on minor criminal cases in private, and prosecuted.

Magistrates accepted his guilty plea, gave him an absolute discharge and ordered him to pay the DVLA £3.34 compensation.

Docs call for reporting on sexual abuse

BY ELLA PICKOVER

LEADING doctors have called for an anonymous whistleblowing system to identify medics over sexual misconduct.

The Royal College of Surgeons of England said many workers "remain reluctant" to report due to repercussion fears.

General Medical Council data shows a 25% rise in fitness-to-practise concerns last year to 13,465.

Of those, 679 cases were probed, leading to 160 tribunals – more than 90% involved either misconduct, such as dishonesty or sexual misconduct, criminal convictions, or both.

Tim Lane, president of RCS England, said: "Sexual misconduct has no place in healthcare.

"The fact sexual misconduct cases have accounted for more than 40% of GMC appeals since 2016 shows the seriousness of this issue.

"We are calling on the Department of Health and Social Care to establish an independent and anonymous reporting mechanism for NHS staff."

Polanski told to clean up party in 'guillotine' row

BY AARON NEWBURY Political Correspondent

ROBERT Jenrick demanded Zack Polanski clean up his Greens amid claims an image he shared incited violence against Nigel Farage.

It comes after party leader Mr Polanski shared an image of a man wearing a T-shirt featuring a guillotine and the words "We're only making plans for Nigel" on social media.

Mr Polanski took the image down once he was made aware, but repeatedly refused to apologise when challenged by a national broadcaster.

Resign

The Metropolitan Police said on Wednesday it would take no further action against the politician.

Reform UK slammed the force's decision to clear Mr Polanski of wrongdoing as an example of "two-tier" policing.

Mr Jenrick said it was "curious that in this case police have chosen not to take any action".

"It's not for me to tell the police how to do their jobs," he added, but he said there had been "numerous

Jenrick takes aim at Greens as he warns of PM death tax

examples" of people being arrested for social media posts in the past.

Challenged on what Mr Polanski should do to clean up his party by the Daily Express, Mr Jenrick jibed: "Well, he could resign, I suppose."

Branding the Greens' leader "a nasty piece of work", he called on him to apologise to Mr Farage. He added: "What would a decent person do in that situation? Apologise, but he couldn't bring himself to do that."

Mr Farage has spoken before about the increased security risks he has faced since becoming an MP.

Reform revealed he receives more than 300 threats a month.

Last month, Mr Farage said his government-provided security had been cut "to the level that I simply could not have continued to operate the way that I was".

Mr Polanski, however, refused to

apologise for the post, branding it a "mistake" and insisting he would only have said sorry "if I'd done it deliberately".

He deflected follow-up questions on whether the post was wrong, instead saying he would only apologise if Mr Farage did so "for all the times that he has put other people in danger".

The Green Party maintains no crime was committed. A spokesman said officers had "examined the evidence" to reach that conclusion.

They added that it was "obvious from the start", claiming Reform were "always using this as a political football for their own cynical purposes to distract from questions about their own dodgy donations".

The Met declined to comment on the allegation of "two-tier" policing.

Mr Jenrick was speaking at a press conference in Central London follow-

ing PM Andy Burnham announcing a review into social care reform.

At the event, the Reform MP warned of a 10% "death tax" they claim Mr Burnham has not ruled out.

Mr Jenrick said: "We will fight a universal death tax. Not as opposition for opposition's sake, but because it's unfair, impractical and cruel on the people of this country.

"Britain would become the single-worst place to hand down money to your kids in the Western world.

Consensus

"Reform believes that money taxed when you earned it, taxed when you saved it, and taxed when you spent it should not be taxed a fourth time as you are laid to rest."

A government spokesman said: "There are no plans for this. Fixing our social care system will require building a broad consensus. The old way of doing politics has held up social care reform for decades.

"Our immediate focus is on working together to find common ground and deliver the reforms needed to fix the future of social care, not imposing one particular solution or tax."

ZACK'S MAYOR GIVES JEWISH LEADER UNTIL OCTOBER 7 TO RESPOND TO TWIN-CITY SNUB

img-25.jpeg

Mayor Zoe Garbett and Green Party chief Zack Polanski

A GREEN Party mayor hailed by Zack Polanski for her local election victory in Hackney, East London, is facing calls to resign after writing to an Israeli city leader about ending a twinning agreement - with a deadline of October 7 to respond.

The date marks when Hamas launched its cross-border terror attack in Israel in 2023, killing more than 1,300 people and taking a further 250 hostage.

This week the Green Party-led council voted to start the process of ending the bond between Haifa and Hackney, which dates back to 1968.

In her letter to Haifa counterpart Yona Yahav, Mayor Zoe Garbett cited a controversial UN report that Israel had "committed genocide", adding the Jewish state is "at odds with our anti-racist values".

BY RICHARD ASHMORE

Ms Garbett said she would be grateful if Mr Yahav could share any views on the matter by October 7.

Commenting on the deadline, Phil Rosenberg, president, Board of Deputies of British Jews, said: "Whether this was deliberate or the product of insensitivity, it is an appalling choice of date."

Martin Sugarman, the chair of Hackney Anglo Israel Friendship Association, said: "The mayor must resign over this and immediately apologise."

A Hackney Council spokeswoman said: "We apologise for the insensitivity. We originally set the consultation to run for 10 weeks. As soon as we noticed this error, we changed the closing date."

TOLL OF EXTREME WEATHER

2,877 deaths

in kit or

heatwave

img-27.jpeg

BRITAIN'S extreme weather is set to bring the highest number of heat-associated deaths on record this year – with more harsh conditions still to come.

A new report estimates there were 2,877 heat-associated deaths during the heatwaves in May and June this year. It is thought 753 deaths came over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.

That compares with 1,504 “excess deaths” recorded in the whole of summer 2025.

The death toll continued to rise last night as a five-year-old child was found dead in a body of water in Badsey, Worcestershire.

And a man who got into difficulty in the sea off the coast of Friston, Essex, also died. Both families have been informed.

It came as more than 100 firefighters tackled a wildfire the size of 210 football pitches on Danwich Heath in Suffolk as it raged for a second day

and MARTIN BAGOT

and was declared a major incident. Homes and 200 caravans have been evacuated and the RSPB said it could take 25 years for the heathland to recover.

The Met Office warned that August is likely to be “hotter and drier than usual”.

The UK Health Security Agency reported that the number of excess deaths caused by heatwaves so far this year is already more than double the number for the whole of last year.

The UKHSA's report author Dr Ross Thompson said: "If we experience more periods of hot weather this summer, we could see the highest number of heat-associated deaths on record.

"These figures highlight the significant danger that very hot weather can pose to people's health.

"This is particularly true for those

who are more vulnerable including older adults and people with underlying medical conditions."

He said “as the climate becomes warmer, we can expect periods of hot weather to become longer, more frequent and more extreme”, adding that it is vital the country is prepared to deal with higher temperatures.

Drought has now been declared across the whole of Wales, with this month on course to be the driest July since records began 190 years ago, Natural Resources Wales said.

Earlier this week parts of the UK sweltered through another heatwave that peaked on Wednesday, with the temperature reaching 35.2C in Writtle, Essex.

Cooler conditions and some rain are forecast for this weekend, but that is not expected in the driest areas.

Imperial College London, the Met Office, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine projected 2,700 excess deaths in a sepa-

rate report this year. That report warned that two-fifths of those deaths were due to the extra heat caused by climate change.

The grim prediction came as water minister Emma Hardy said the UK needed to be “prepared for this new normal”, as climate changes and droughts become “increasingly common”.

Health Secretary Yvette Cooper said of the heat-related death toll: “My thoughts are with all those who have lost loved ones as a result of the long and intense heatwaves in recent months.

“My heartfelt thanks go to the NHS staff, care workers and emergency responders who have worked tirelessly through these exceptionally busy and challenging months to protect and care for people affected by the heat.”

NHS Alliance director Ruth Rankine said there had been a “marked increase” in the number of GP

appointments in June compared with the previous month and they were up by more than 10% from the same time last year.

She said: “It’s possible this could reflect the impact of sustained high temperatures which can increase health risks for vulnerable people and have unfortunately led to a sharp jump in deaths linked to heat.

“Great credit is due to GPs and primary care colleagues for the way they are rising to the exceptional challenges of this summer season.”

Record temperatures have become the norm with heatwaves bringing new highs for May and June.

Before this year, the record was five days in which temperatures were at or above 35C, which was set in the infamous summer of 1976 and matched in 2020.

Some 23 million customers are under hosepipe bans, and the harvest has come early. Livestock farmers are already having to using winter feed.

Three firefighters die as wildfires spread in Europe

BY JEREMY ARMSTRONG

MORE than 8,000 people have been evacuated in Crete as wildfires claimed the lives of three firefighters in Greece.

Two died on the island after becoming trapped while tackling a fire near Krya Vrysi - where wind speeds reached 77mph.

A third died on the mainland, near the port town of Gytheio.

Residents were allowed to return yesterday.

Meanwhile, George Clooney revealed he and his wife Amal, both left, are among those who have had to evacuate in France due to wildfires.

The Hollywood star said he had “no idea” whether their home in Brignoles, south-east France, would make it through “this terrible moment”.

In a letter to Didier Bremond, the village’s mayor, the actor added that he was “committed” to supporting its reconstruction. He wrote: “We are part of this community and we’ll be part of making it whole.”

The couple and their twin children moved to the South of France in 2021 and have French citizenship.

The fire burned 247 acres, far smaller than a vast inferno that has swept up the Bordeaux region in southwestern France in recent days.

Spain, Portugal and Turkey have also been hit hard by devastating fires.

Game over for Infantino and his scandalous plan

FOR ALL its failings, football unites us. And Europe is united today in opposing a scheme to sell off the World Cup and other tournaments to the highest bidder.

Never has the beautiful game looked quite so ugly as in light of plans by Fifa – its governing body, headed by Gianni Infantino – to flag stakes in tournaments to raise £3billion.

The plans have been met with astonishment and fury. And last night, after a crisis meeting, England joined fellow Uefa members in voting unanimously to boycott the events – including next summer's Women's World Cup – if the plan goes ahead.

With play-offs starting in October, there is no way this can be kicked into the long grass.

As Uefa stated: "The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It is one of football's greatest sporting legacies.

"No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale."

Even in a sport where money talks, selling the World Cup in this way is unthinkable.

The very idea should earn a red card for Infantino, whose stewardship of the worldwide game has come under sustained criticism.

We endured hydration breaks, we suffered Donald Trump overturning a ban for one of his US players, and we sat through the grim spectacle of an extended American Football-style half-time show in the final.

No more. Infantino may think he is somehow untouchable because of his relationship with Trump. But no one man is bigger than the game.

Flats trap fight goes on

IN GRIEF after the loss of their parents, the arrangements that must be made can feel overwhelming for siblings left behind.

But what few of those ever expected was to be mined in a tangle of bureaucracy that can cost them tens of thousands of pounds.

Our Stop the Retirement Flat Trap crusade has lifted the lid on the nightmare beneficiaries endure on inheriting these specialist properties.

Many face falling values on the homes – part and parcel of an ever-changing property market.

But the falls are often dramatic and the pain comes when families are left liable for costly service charges and punishing council tax rates. Meanwhile, flats can also take years to shift.

The Leasehold Knowledge Partnership charity's Sebastian O'Kelly is spot on when he describes retirement housing as a "complete failure". He says most older people trying to downsize would help their families by choosing to rent instead.

Retirement flat living can be the best option for some, allowing for companionship and access to particular services and facilities.

But those decisions must be clear-eyed, in the full knowledge of the implications.

That's why the Express will continue campaigning for legislation to tackle the restrictions and lower the fees.

A Visit to Ukraine

by William Wolfe

Every peace talks

FAR-RIGHT political activist Laura Loomer holds some views that most people consider to be deeply offensive. She is a "proud Islamophobe", is vehemently anti-trans and has been aggressively anti-Ukraine since its all-out war with Russia began in 2022.

I would not normally highlight any of her opinions except that, after her first visit to Ukraine, she posted last week: "Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine. Sirens blaring.

"This is everyday for every Ukrainian. I feel like such an a*** for minimising the struggle of Ukrainians for the last five years. There are people in Ukraine who have to run to a bomb shelter every day and some of us had the audacity to say Russia wasn't wrong because we believed the lie that Ukraine is a country full of Nazi sympathisers. We have been so propagandised by Russia".

I commend Loomer, a loyal Donald Trump supporter, for admitting she was wrong but I am only highlighting her change of heart because so many people, particular in America, have fallen for absurd Russian propaganda – from Ukraine has never existed as a country, to claims its leaders are Nazis.

This week President Zelensky visited the US yet again, including meeting Trump in the hope the US President will press ahead with peace negotiations, talks that have waned in part due to America's war with Iran.

MY BIGGEST regret is that those now conducting the US's limited peace negotiations have not taken the chance to visit Kyiv and other cities to see the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia's relentless bombing.

I am thinking, in particular, about lead negotiator Steve Witkoff, who has visited Russia several times in recent years, and also Jared Kushner,

img-35.jpeg

Lord Ashcroft

Guest columnist

President Trump's son-in-law, who has joined Witkoff for many of the peace talks in the Middle East. Both have responsibility for the stalled peace talks between Ukraine and Russia yet, quite remarkably, neither has visited Ukraine. I would be confident that Witkoff is an astute negotiator when it comes to a huge real estate deal but his skills negotiating peace have been found wanting.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, the far-right influencer and podcaster, in March 2025, Witkoff talked about his role in the Middle East. He said: "Now I want to get up close and personal. That's why I went to Gaza. I was the first US official to go to Gaza in 22 years. But how would you implement a peace deal if you didn't go to the place where the peace deal was being implemented?"

I know Witkoff has turned down several invitations to visit Ukraine over the past two

years. Similarly, Kushner has never visited Ukraine during the all-out war which has now left an estimated 1.5 million people dead or injured.

Of course, not all Republican politicians are narrow-minded and some have indeed visited Ukraine to show their support.

Those visitors included Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who died earlier this month. Along with Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, Graham was behind the Russia Sanctioning Act which, if passed, will broaden the scope of sanctions against Moscow.

Keith Kellogg, a highly decorated, retired three-star US Army general and a staunch Republican supporter, visited Ukraine four times last year in his role as President Trump's Special Envoy.

I interviewed Kellogg last year and discovered he is indeed sympathetic to Ukraine given that he, like me, sees the

war as a straightforward battle between aggressor (Russia) and victim (Ukraine) and right (Ukraine) and wrong (Russia).

I have visited Ukraine 15 times during the all-out war and my next visit is already arranged. I have seen how families have been wiped out by missile and drone attacks, I have heard countless accounts of the torture of prisoners of war and I have visited the scenes of horrific war crimes.

REALISE US politicians are busy but, if they took time to make just a single visit to Ukraine, I feel confident most of those who have opposed aid packages for Ukraine would realise they've made a mistake.

Indeed, I would happily accompany Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Ukraine because I believe they would, like Laura Loomer, see the error or their ways in accepting Russian propaganda rather than seeing the truth at first hand.

Legal McKinstry

Why is there such a long wait for trial of Kerry?

ANN WIDDECOMBE was bludgeoned to death on July 8, yet the trial of Joshua Kerry, the man charged with her killing, will not begin until June next year.

Yes, this is a shocking case, but why the long wait? In 1953 John Reginald Christie, the Rillington Place murderer, was arrested on March 31. His trial began on June 22.

Having been found guilty, he was executed on July 15. Would anyone claim we have a more effective legal system?

ANDY BURNHAM is renowned for his devotion to Everton, but he is almost as keen on cricket, having been a good enough pace bowler to represent Lancashire schoolboys. He shares this enthusiasm with a remarkable number of his predecessors in No10, including John Major, Rishi Sunak and Theresa May, who was instrumental in getting a knighthood for her sporting hero, Geoffrey Boycott.

Clement Attlee was so obsessed with cricket that he had the Press Association install a news ticker machine in Downing Street, just so he could read the county scores. Alec Douglas-Home, briefly PM in the early sixties, even played at first-class level.

But the most romantic connection belongs to Stanley Baldwin, who fell in love with his future wife Lucy when he watched her score a half century for the White Heather women's club in Yorkshire.

Ideal time to reform the Commonwealth

THE Commonwealth Games used to be known as the "Friendly Games". Today they might be more accurately described as the "Neglected Games" for this quadrennial sporting contest, currently under way in Glasgow, is bereft of public interest, mainstream television coverage and major stars.

Their slide into irrelevance points to a deep malaise within the Commonwealth itself, as the organisation struggles to find a role in the 21st century. Weighed down by its own contradictions and flaws, it's a relic of the British Empire in a world that despises imperialism.

Yet, for all the nostalgia about the past bonds of kinship, many Commonwealth states are only too keen to exploit Britain's colonial legacy by promoting mass immigration and issuing demands for compensation over the slave trade. One of these claims for so-called reparations reaches £18trillion – a sum that would bankrupt Britain.

Wallowing in post-colonial confiscatory grievance will wreck the Commonwealth as well as this nation. But, as Glasgow shows, the Commonwealth is already in profound trouble. A sense of crisis hangs over the Games, fuelled by the withdrawal of top athletes, and the absence of intense competition.

Glasgow cannot be blamed. In fact the city has done a heroic job in mounting a slimmed down version of the Games after the original hosts, the Australian state of Victoria, pulled out because of escalating costs. It was the same story in 2022 when the South African port of Durban withdrew from its hosting commitments on financial grounds.

Nowhere was willing to take on the responsibility until Birmingham accepted, though the £770million cost bankrupted the city. These

Claims of wealthy group on tax just virtue signalling

A SMUG group called Patriotic Millionaires has sent an open letter to Downing Street calling on the Labour Government to increase taxes on the wealthy. Predictably, Gary Lineker is among the signatories. "Our richest people can do more and most want to," he says.

Well, there's nothing to stop wealthy progressives from making deliberate tax overpayments. In fact, in the financial year 2024/5, the Treasury received £505,000 in this way.

But, contrary to Lineker's claim, most millionaires are not keen on handing more money to HM Revenue and Customs. That is why many of them have left the country in the wake of Labour's recent tax hikes, while others use complex financial arrangements to reduce their liabilities. The glee for higher taxes is just virtue signalling.

difficulties are symptoms of a badly run outfit which only survives through subsidies and sentimentality. Commonwealth leaders, disconnected from the public and unable to articulate a vision for their work, fall back on blather about support for liberal democracy.

But that rhetoric is empty. Basic human rights like freedom of expression are too often ignored. In more than half of all Commonwealth countries, homosexuality is still illegal. Indeed, more than 80% of the Commonwealth's 2.7 billion-

strong population live under authoritarian governments such as the Tanzanian regime run by Samia Suluhu Hassan, Africa's first female dictator, who won a disputed election last November amid an onslaught of political violence.

The Commonwealth has even granted membership to corrupt autocracies like Togo and Gabon, though they have no ties to Britain.

The image of the Commonwealth as a global talking shop is a delusion. Because its citizens have unique rights of settlement here,

the organisation is a vast engine of social revolution in Britain, encouraging millions of people from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean to immigrate while holding on to the cultures of their homelands.

IT IS the Commonwealth that is partly to blame for ugly trends like the rise of predatory grooming gangs and the spread of Islamic dress codes, while the growth of sectarianism and extremism in our urban politics is an inevitable consequence of giving all Commonwealth citizens the automatic right to vote in our elections if they live here.

No other country in the world extends the franchise to foreigners in this way. This is not generosity, it is self-harm. Instead of giving further ground, especially on reparations, Britain should be cranking up the pressure on the Commonwealth for real reform.

PM BURNHAM MUST GET A GRIP ON GROTESQUE CHANNEL CRISIS...AND FAST!

THE NEW Prime Minister likes to think he has the common touch. But when it comes to illegal immigration, he could end up looking like a soft touch. Despite his boasts about the "very rigorous" approach of the Home Office, no fewer than 881 illegal migrants crossed the Channel in the first week of his premiership.

The people smugglers are clearly not intimidated by Britain's new leader. If anything, the gangsters are becoming bolder. On Tuesday, a 42-foot monster dinghy was launched from the

French coast with 165 migrants onboard, a total which easily beat the previous record – set earlier this month – of 128 passengers carried by a single vessel.

Loquacious on so many other political issues, Burnham is strangely reticent about the Channel crisis. But the British public will not be tolerant of inaction for long.

Voters are fed up with the privileged treatment of migrant lawbreakers, who are often offered more support and better

accommodation by the British state than law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.

The sense of injustice is particularly acute at this time of year, as Britons taking holidays abroad are subjected to ever-growing scrutiny and checks – yet the illegal Channel crossers are effectively offered a free ferry service by the Border Force Agency. This grotesque situation cannot continue. The integrity of our borders and public faith in the legal system are under threat. Burnham must get a grip.

William Hickey

— Bringing the gossip since 1933

WHILE Monty Python's Eric Idle paid a fond public tribute to Goodies star Bill Oddie following news of his death aged 85, I'm reminded relations had sadly deteriorated in recent years.

Though Eric now recalls the pair first bonding at Cambridge University, not to mention both being at Wembley for England's 1966 World Cup triumph, he'd previously confessed they were no longer in touch.

"He's been cross with me for years," Idle had glumly remarked. "I don't know why."

img-40.jpeg

ON A cheerier note, Goodies colleague Graeme Garden remembers once being persuaded to join famous twitcher Bill on a birdwatching expedition. "He told me I saw some quite rare birds, but I couldn't swear to it myself," Graeme, 83, now chuckles. "They were small, smudgy things in the distance!"

AMID the ongoing heatwave, colourful Tory veteran Sir Michael Fabricant reminds us: "The last person to hold the title Minister for Drought was Brummie Denis Howell in 1976...when, on his appointment, it immediately started

to rain. Andy Burnham, you know what to do!"

As well as being ordered by No 10 to perform a rain dance on behalf of the nation, the late Howell helpfully did his bit for water rationing by sharing baths with wife Brenda.

WEEKS after it was revealed that retired theatrical agent Michael Whitehall had cheekily named his new pet cockapoo "Nigel Havers" – having previously managed the Chariots of Fire actor – it emerges the pesky young pooch has been sent away.

"He's gone to dog training for a residential stay," confirms Michael's actress wife Hilary. "We've asked them if they can get rid of the nipping situation."

Did the other Nigel ever prove so troublesome?

ENDURING

unflattering reviews following the launch of her YouTube channel this week, Holly Willoughby also has to contend with mockery from teenage daughter Belle when attempting the relevant online jargon.

"My daughter was laughing at me as I was saying, 'And subscribe' and 'Ding the bell and you'll get notifications'," Holly, 45, reveals.

"She says, 'Mum, you really don't know what you're talking about'."

HAVING long identified Barrow-in-Furness as one of the few places in England he's yet to visit – mischievously claiming he's saving it for a "special occasion" – Sir Michael Palin again disappoints fans in the Cumbrian town.

The 83-year-old notably omits Barrow from his upcoming UK stage tour, despite being previously "inundated" with invitations from locals hoping Britain's most beloved traveller will finally tick it off his bucket list.

The closest he gets is Bradford (90 miles away by road) – can't a quick diversion be arranged?

NINE months after being watched by millions triumphing on The Celebrity Traitors, Alan Carr still enjoys gloating at one brainy rival contestant's expense.

"Stephen Fry, he's great, he's very clever," remarks Alan, before crowing: "But he wasn't clever enough to know I was a traitor!"

GLOBETROTTER Sir Michael Palin is on his travels again at 83, with a UK tour about his Channel 5 series Michael Palin in the Philippines.

The Monty Python star will recount his adventures including visits to remote islands in the South China Sea – scene of tension with Chinese coastguards.

He said: "Every journey leaves me with stories that never quite make it into the television programmes.

"I always enjoy the chance to share those moments with a live audience.

"I hope audiences will feel as though they've travelled with me."

The 13-date tour begins in Newbury, Berks, on October 7.

BEN Affleck has won the million-dollar prize on the US celebrity version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

The actor, 53, who was playing with Jeopardy! champion Jamie Ding, pledged to give the cash – worth £745,000 – to his charity, the Eastern Congo Initiative for community projects.

The million-dollar question was: "In an annual Thanksgiving tradition, all but which of these have been the names of turkeys pardoned by a US president?" Choices were: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Tater & Tof, Mac & Cheese, and Spaghetti & Meatball.

Affleck and Ding chose the latter after using their final two lifelines.

The 14-track record, named after a place near his childhood home in Liverpool, recounts memories from his years before the Fab Four.

Macca said: "What a brilliant and exciting surprise to be part of such an incredible list.

"To have The Boys of Dungeon Lane recognised alongside so many brilliant artists and albums is a huge honour for me.

"Thank you to everyone who continues to support and enjoy the album. We've been having so much fun along the way. The reaction has been really special. So this news has just totally blown me away."

A MONSTER mother and her depraved lover have been jailed for life for the sadistic murder and sexual assault of a two-year-old girl.

Isabelle Rose Welsh succumbed after enduring weeks of horrific abuse that left her nursing 21 broken bones, before she fatally collapsed at her home.

As the toddler lay dying from a catastrophic brain injury, Alexandra Walker googled “why is my toddler bleeding” and smoked a cigarette before belatedly phoning 999.

Shaken

Walker, 26, and boyfriend Harrison Simpson, 22, were convicted of murder and child cruelty after a trial at Teesside Crown Court. Simpson was also found guilty of sexually assaulting the toddler, a charge her evil mother was cleared of.

Ms Justice Norton sentenced the pair yesterday, with minimum terms of 28 years and six months for Simpson and 22 years for Walker.

Family members supporting Isabelle’s father Josh Welsh were in court for the sentencing.

Ms Justice Norton described Isabelle’s injuries as “sadistic” and said her murder was the final act in

Mum and paedophile boyfriend jailed for sadistic murder of tot

a series of assaults the pair had tried to cover up. Isabelle collapsed at her home after suffering a final massive head injury on September 13 last year before Walker claimed on the 999 call the toddler had collapsed.

Paramedics raced to the home in Thornaby, Teesside, where they found Isabelle lying at the foot of the stairs without a pulse.

She was rushed to hospital where doctors found her covered in bruises on her head, neck, abdomen, back and private parts.

Her nappy contained blood and she had vomit on her face. Despite

medics’ efforts, Isabelle could not be saved. She died on September 14.

A postmortem examination found prior to death she was violently shaken, her spine over-extended, and her head hit against a hard surface such as a wall or the floor.

Prosecutor Richard Wright KC said: “For weeks this child had been violently assaulted and her death, by that terrible head injury, was simply the end point in that campaign of violence.”

Walker, who claimed to have been studying forensics, had taken her daughter to the GP and hospital

11 days before she died, when Isabelle’s leg was found to be fractured. Yet despite the concerns of some medics, the child was discharged back into her mother’s care.

The killer couple had an “unhealthy” relationship due to drink and drugs and Isabelle’s grandmother Claire Walker became “seriously worried” about the youngster’s deteriorating health.

She said her granddaughter looked “white as a sheet” and messaged her daughter asking if she could pick up supplies for Isabelle from Asda. Walker replied: “Ten

cans of Stella for my stress and nappies.” Jurors were told that Isabelle was a happy, healthy child until her mother started dating Simpson last summer via Facebook Dating.

Walker even looked for Simpson on the sex offenders’ register after she grew suspicious about his behaviour, which included bathing Isabelle without her consent, and labelled him a “paedophile” to her mother, but continued to date him.

DCI Steve Chatterton of Cleveland Police said: “This has been one of the worst cases my team and I have dealt with.”

More prisoners being recalled than let out under early release

A RECORD number of criminals have been recalled to jail following Labour’s decision to let out more than 70,000 early.

A total of 51,419 prisoners were locked up again in the year to March after breaching the terms of their licence, official figures published yesterday reveal. This is up 28% from 40,259 the previous year.

Between January and March the number of prisoners who were recalled - 13,193 - surpassed the number being released early -

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor

12,977 - for what is believed to be the first time ever.

The data also shows that 70,066 inmates have been freed early since September 2024, when the government brought in emergency measures in a bid to tackle overcrowding in prisons.

Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy said: “There remain real and serious problems throughout our criminal

justice system, particularly in prisons, but Labour are handling it in the worst possible way. Instead of doing the hard work of court reform and prison building, they have reached for the easiest tools possible: letting out rapists, paedophiles and serious criminals early, as well as scrapping jury trials.

“Labour came to government without a plan, and it shows in their lack of any real solutions for criminal justice.

“Prison works - by punishing, by deterring and by keeping dangerous criminals away from the public.

“Serious violent and sexual offenders must

be banned from being let out under Labour’s disastrous early-release scheme.”

Other figures reveal there were 14 escapes from jails in England and Wales in 2025-26, up from 12 the previous year and the most since 2019-20’s 16. All the latest were from escorts, 11 of them in transport operated by contractors.

Four were still at large after 30 days - again, the most since 2019-20, when it was eight.

Meanwhile, 192 prisoners were released in error in 2025-26, down from a record 312 in 2024-25. And 1,497 drone incidents were recorded at jails - down from a peak of 1,712 also in 2024-25.

A FORMER civil service manager has become the first person in the world to have a pioneering therapy for advanced cancer, in a trial led by British hospitals.

Tracy Tomlinson, 58, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer six years ago, hopes it will give her more years and help others, too.

The treatment, called ZI-MA4-1, is being tested on people with ovarian cancer, lung cancer, sarcomas and head and neck cancer, who often have few options left.

Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester is leading the trial, with London's Royal Marsden also taking part.

The therapy works by harnessing natural killer cells, which destroy abnormal cells. Their T-cell receptors are engineered to recognise and target tumours that produce a protein called MAGE-A4, found in several types of cancer.

The treatment is manufactured in advance from donor cells instead of being individually tailored. This means hundreds of doses can be produced from a single batch, making it cheaper and

quicker to produce. Mrs Tomlinson, a married mum of one from Chadderton Gtr Manchester, has already beaten the odds.

Twice she has been told her cancer has gone, only for it to return.

Positive

She said: "It is a lot to live with and there's been ups and downs - elation, disappointment and bits in between. But I try very hard to remain very positive. Every day

that I wake up is a positive. You've got to have hope." She was referred to the trial team last year and told she was a suitable candidate.

"I decided almost straight away that I was going to go for it," she said. "Then afterwards you think, 'Am I doing the right thing?', because it is a little bit scary being the first person in the world to have the treatment."

Tracy has so far had three of a possible four infusions of therapy. She said: "If it benefits me,

absolutely fantastic. But if it benefits other people in the future, that's important too."

Prof Fiona Thistlethwaite, consultant medical oncologist at the Christie, said: "While this is an early-stage study, it represents an exciting step forward in efforts to develop new treatment options."

Colleague Dr Jon Lim said: "Tracy is essentially getting somebody else's immune cells that have been engineered to 'see' her cancer. He added: "We're very excited."

BEES are in trouble as the UK endures the fourth heatwave of the summer and swarms of deadly Asian hornets threaten British hives.

Beyond being a cherished hallmark of the British summer, bumblebees serve as essential pollinators that sustain our wild landscapes and vital food crops.

However, bumblebee populations are in sharp decline as heatwaves become more frequent and intense, as they struggle to fly without overheating.

New data from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust has revealed a drop in numbers by up to 35% following 2022's record-breaking temperatures among the most common species – red-tailed, buff-tailed and common carder bumblebees.

Michael Walsh of The Urban Apiarist explains: "When there's a heatwave the bees are forced to down tools on foraging and pour all their energy into cooling the hive instead.

"Out in the open, it's even simpler: bees can overheat, run out of energy and become dehydrated and you'll often find them grounded on hot pavements, too exhausted to fly.

"Once it goes above 36C the young bees start to die, and the wax the nest is made of begins to soften. To cool things down, the bees fan their wings at the entrance, fetch water to spread around and cluster on the outside of the hive. It works, but it takes a lot out of them."

Sadly, thanks to climate change, this is becoming our new normal in the UK – and experts are concerned for the future.

Michael says: "We're being told to expect hotter, longer heatwaves and bees aren't really built for that. It's a double problem, because the heat also dries up the flowers they feed on, so there's less food around just when they need it most."

And British bees are facing another threat – Asian hornets.

Michael says: "The one threat beekeepers are most worried

By Hannah Britt

about right now is the Asian hornet, which hunts bees outside the hive. A single one can eat up to 50 bees a day and their numbers are growing in the UK.

"The good news is they're not established here yet, so every reported nest gets tracked down and removed."

One apiarist has created a world-first device to stop Asian hornets in their tracks.

John Childs, who lives in Durham, isn't taking on the 3cm-long stingers with a swatter or can of bug spray, but with his invention: The Hornet Zapper.

His personal best is 11 Asian hornets killed in 14 minutes. But he's got an appetite for far more.

The device is simple in appearance. A bee-shaped lure sits atop a metal wire. It's placed in front of a beehive where it wiggles back and forth in the breeze. It is innocent looking, until an Asian hornet decides to attack.

John says: "When they go for it, they get a thousand volts. Plenty enough to kill the predatory wasp, but safe for humans and similar to the sensation of touching an electric fence."

THE invasive, yellow-legged Asian hornet quickly spread all over central, western and southern Europe after hitching a ride on a pottery shipment from China to France in 2004. The first UK sighting was in 2016.

Unlike European hornets, which are usually larger, mainly brownish with clearly visible yellow stripes on the abdomen and pose no danger to UK honeybees, their Asian counterparts are black overall, with bright-yellow legs and a single yellow segment on the abdomen.

They are slightly smaller than the European hornet, but much more dangerous.

John says: "They hover in front of the hives, in a move sometimes called hawking, and they catch bees

returning from foraging. Then they dismember them and take them back to their nests."

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation is leading an effort to identify and exterminate Asian hornet nests.

A spokesman said: "Asian hornets pose a huge danger to native western honeybees, as the latter have not evolved any defensive behaviours against this enemy. They easily fall victim to the ruth-

less Asian predators, often becoming so scared that they refuse to leave the bushes and, with the queen stopping laying eggs, the whole colony inevitably collapses."

So far, known numbers are low. There were 71 credible sightings in 2024, with more than 20 nests destroyed.

But a single colony can produce 350 new queens capable of starting their own colony, high-

lighting how quickly a population can explode.

That's exactly what happened in France, where there are an estimated 500,000 Asian hornet nests. John says: "It has had a grave effect on honey production, and honey prices have gone up. It has created more work for beekeepers."

John has tested The Hornet Zapper on his Durham City Honey hives and in France, with early

promise and a patent pending. He now hopes for an investor. And it can't come a moment too soon for the bees. There are 20,000 different species of bee, 250 in the UK alone, but this number is dropping at an unprecedented rate. Yet thankfully experts believe it is not too late to stop the decline.

Michael says: "The single most useful thing anyone can do is report a sighting of an Asian hornet on the free Asian Hornet

Watch app, or email photos to alertnonnative@ceh.ac.uk."

Dr Ellen Rotheray, a lecturer in conservation biology at the University of Sussex says: "Many of us are in an ideal place to assist.

"Leave sections in your garden to grow wild as this will provide shelter for bees and other insects."

GOOD news for all those disco lovers who still suffer from an incurable case of Saturday Night Fever.

John Travolta's immaculate three-piece white suit from the 1977 film, which turned disco into a global phenomenon, is for sale.

The bad news is any buyer will need far deeper pockets than poor-but-aspiring Tony Manero, Travolta's character, who wore it to work his magic on the lit-up dance floor. The suit, which was later owned by film critic Gene Siskel and still bears Travolta's handwritten message to him on the lining, is expected sell for up to £300,000 at auction.

Brits and Americans fight for 1922 climb medic's snaps

Highest bid

INCREDIBLE photos and diaries by the physician on Britain's first expedition to scale Everest have sold for almost £35,000 following a transatlantic bidding war.

Dr Arthur Wakefield joined George Mallory's 1922 team which failed to summit following a tragedy in which seven Sherpas died in an avalanche.

Mallory tried again two years later and lost his own life, aged 38.

Wakefield described the 1922 avalanche in his journal, writing: "At 2.15, glancing up from my writing, I saw the N Wall, where the climbers

had been a moment before, become completely white.

"Realising that a disaster had occurred I hurriedly collected a few [porters] with shovels, ropes, & 1st aid equipment, & set off at 2.30 as hard as I could go.

"At 3.30 I met Crawford [Colin Crawford] running down, much exhausted."

The doctor had already noted: "The whole climb is one mass of, apparently, loose boulders." The

for Everest

1922 expedition, the first to use bottled oxygen, established a world record climbing height of 27,300ft.

It was also the first time deaths had been reported on the world's highest peak.

Sharpshooter

The valiant attempt earned the climbers gold medals for alpinism at the 1924 Winter Olympics in the French Alps. Adventurer Wakefield had joined the expedition aged 46 after serving as a sharpshooter in the

Second Boer War and a medic during the Battle of the Somme. He also worked with British missionary Wilfred Grenfell in Canada.

The doctor died aged 72 in 1949 and his archive has only recently been unpacked from boxes by his granddaughter. It was sold by Rare Book Auctions in Lichfield, Staffs, on Wednesday. It had estimated that the nine lots would fetch at least £4,000.

Five Everest packages went to a UK collector, while four with Canadian interest sold to a buyer in the US.

Cheap cones are flake news for hard-up mums and dads

PARENTS will fork out almost £50 per child on ice creams on average over the holidays - with one in 10 paying as much as £4 for a van cone.

The average price of the classic frozen treat is now £2.65.

But with the average child tucking into three ice creams a week over the summer, this amounts to £47.70 over the six-week break.

Leeds came in as the most expensive city with an average price of £2.86, followed by London (£2.82), Bristol and Manchester (both £2.80), said a OnePoll survey of 2,000 mums and

dads of children aged four to 16. Parents are feeling the pinch, with one in three admitting they have skipped buying an ice cream for themselves so their child could have one.

A quarter have even told their child the ice cream van has run out of ice cream to avoid the expense, said the research by Aldi.

Parents anticipate they will spend an average of £134 on eating out, £105 on holiday clubs and £132 on tickets on day trips across the summer.

We're helping to make disability more visible

Bridgerton star Gracie McGonigal, Grantchester actress Melissa Johns and Olivier Award-winning thespian Amy Trigg on overcoming pushbacks and prejudice to triumph on the stage and screen

TOM HURPHY NEMAH

IF THE statistics are right and, at any one time, 90% of actors are out of work, how much worse must it be for disabled actors? Just ask Melissa Johns, Gracie McGonigal and Amy Trigg, all of them disabled, all of them triumphing against the odds.

Melissa, 36, who has appeared in Coronation Street and Grantchester, describes herself as "a disabled person with a limb difference", born with no right forearm or hand. Her father, Mike, a Romany gypsy, began to sense something was wrong when the baby wasn't immediately returned to his wife's arms. Eventually, Melissa was given to mum Sara.

"I was 35 when my daughter, Ottilly, was born last October. Mum was 25 when she had me. She was young and inexperienced. I don't blame her for finding it so hard to cope. I blame society."

Inevitably, Melissa was teased at school. "They'd call me One-Arm." She clearly remembers, aged seven, when the cast was being chosen for the annual nativity play. "I told one girl I really wanted to be the Angel Gabriel. 'Oh no,' she said, 'you can't. Gabriel has two wings. You've only got one arm'. I can still feel the punch in my stomach."

In her teens, Melissa told her parents she

EXCLUSIVE

By Richard Barber

wanted to be an actress. "They hadn't a clue what I was talking about. This was a world totally outside their experience."

From her first application, she was offered a place at East 15 acting school in Essex, which she describes as "three magical years". Her end-of-year showcase in 2012 resulted in her being taken on by Niki Winterson, her agent to this day, who secured her an audition with Graeae, a London-based company that champions deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists.

In 2016, Melissa was one of the founder members of TripleC, "a gateway organisation for disabled people's access to the arts and screen activities".

Many roles followed – in Doctors, Casualty, a series called The Interceptor, before she landed the part of lesbian Imogen Pascoe in Coronation Street. "I always say that she helped put me on the map," she says.

But all else pales beside her role as Miss Scott, feisty secretary of the local police station and the person who keeps Geordie

Keating (Robson Green) under control in the long-running cosy crime drama, Grantchester. The 11th, and final, series, already filmed, will kick off in the new year.

Alongside acting, writing has become an important component of her professional life. Her debut play, Snatched, was a sell-out UK tour exploring body image, female sexuality and the complexity of being a disabled woman in modern Britain after intimate photos of her were hacked and published online. "I'm now developing two television dramas with broadcasters and really enjoying creating stories that put nuanced, complex and funny people at the centre of them," she says.

Does she think she's ever been turned down for a part because of her disability? "Well, you're not going to be told that, are you? But I'm pretty sure I wasn't cast in one role because they wanted the character to be sexy and, however much they would have denied it, some people can't allow that anyone disabled could have an active sex life."

Delivered by Caesarean section after a long and difficult labour, actress Gracie McGonigal, 24, was also born with a foreshortened arm. "Apparently, one of the nurses screamed when she saw my arm, but that may be a myth. There are bones in the

end which presumably would have been my fingers. But nobody really knows why the arm didn't develop normally.

"Mum was panicking that maybe I wouldn't be able to do things like swim or drive. But my Aunt Julie took a much more positive approach. She turned up at the hospital with a gift – a baby bikini."

AS A girl, Gracie attended a local Saturday drama club in Ealing run by actress Amanda Redman, herself the victim of third-degree burns on her left arm as a result of pulling a pan of boiling soup on herself as a child. "She was a great teacher," says Gracie. "Those classes fired my passion for drama."

Because her secondary school had no drama course, Gracie was enrolled at the Brit School in Croydon, alma mater of Amy Winehouse, Adele, Tom Holland and Jessie J.

She then won a place on the foundation course at Mountview drama school in Peckham, South London. At its completion, she auditioned for a number of drama school degree courses.

"One interviewer asked me, as a

demonstration of my physical strength, to do 20 push-ups, something that was not only cruel but impossible. As I pointed out, I was there for my acting ability to be assessed and I was perfectly fit, thank you."

In 2021, she was offered the role of Aladdin's brother, Wishy, in the pantomime at the Lyric Hammersmith. The following year, she played Susanna Walcott in The Crucible at the National. At Christmas 2022, she starred in the titular role of Cinderella at the Theatre Royal Stratford East.

"I got so many messages from parents of children with disabilities saying they'd never seen someone like me playing a role like that and what hope it had given their children."

In August 2024, she was cast as Hazel, a flirty downstairs maid, in the fourth series of Bridgerton. "My arm did get mentioned at one point in the story. The lady of the house asks if I'd be able to handle the work; her husband says of course I would. There'd have been plenty of people with physical impairments back then. Disability isn't a new phenomenon. And because Bridgerton is seen all over the world, disability is represented."

In April last year, she landed the role of Little Red Riding Hood in the revival of Sondheim's Into the Woods. "I'd always wanted to play her. I love the way she really

goes at life. I like to think the reason she's so bobby is because she's being played by somebody with only one hand.

"It's never mentioned but I tell myself it's shaped her personality."

After its successful run at the Bridge Theatre, the production transfers to the Noel Coward Theatre in London this September.

Last July, Marie Tidball, the Labour MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, delivered an emotional speech in Parliament, opposing welfare cuts to disability support.

DORN with a congenital disability affecting all four limbs, she spoke against reducing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit, citing her duty to represent the UK's 17 million disabled people, one of them being Gracie, who was mentioned by name.

"She made the point that one in four people have some form of disability. But you still don't see that represented widely in the arts or the media. I'm doing my bit but there's a long way to go."

Actress Amy Trigg, 33, was born with spina bifida. "My back was covered which isn't

always the case – the spinal cord can be exposed – but I had a very prominent lump on my back. I still have," she says.

"I learnt to sort of walk with my feet turned over when I was very young but my mobility deteriorated as I got older."

By the time she was eight, Amy was a full-time wheelchair user. There was a fair degree of bullying at school. "I remember kids putting sticks in the spokes of my wheelchair. On one occasion, so-called friends pushed me into the centre of the playground but, when I looked round, they'd snuck away. It was drama that led me to the friends I still have to this day."

She eventually won a place at Mountview, the first wheelchair user to train on a performance course. Her first theatre job was in a production of The Glass Menagerie in Nottingham in 2016. She went on to play roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Measure for Measure and Taming of the Shrew.

Amy is also a writer for television (Ralph and Katie, Toxic Town) whose debut play, Reasons You Shouldn't Love Me, won the Women's Prize for Playwriting 2020 and is currently being developed for TV.

But the part that really changed the landscape was in the musical, The Little Big

Things, in which she co-starred with Gracie and which was based on the memoir of Henry Fraser, paralysed in a diving accident. Amy subsequently won an Olivier as Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

"It was cool having my parents in the audience. I'd put them through a lot growing up, not just all the medical stuff but they'd sat through some very painful shows when I was a teenager."

She has something else to thank The Little Big Things for. It's where she met and fell in love with fellow cast member Jordan Benjamin, recently in the cast of the hit musical, Hamilton.

They married last September and Amy couldn't be happier.

"I've never shaken my fist at the Almighty. If I hadn't grown up with spina bifida, I wouldn't have accomplished half the things I've done. It's impossible to separate my disability from my identity.

"I'd be lying, though, if I didn't admit that sometimes things are hard. The way I like to put it is that it's a sh*t and wonderful life, a quote from my first play.

"But, if I had my life over, I'd do it all again; that's a quote from The Little Big Things. It's something Jordan and I have engraved on our wedding rings."

A PUNKY-haired heron chick found abandoned has been released back into the wild after two months of painstaking rehabilitation.

As well as having a striking barnet, the RSPCA said Hetty seemed a little angry at her plight and looked like an animal from the Jurassic dinosaurs period when found at the bottom of a tree in West Yorkshire.

She was the smallest heron chick to be admitted to the RSPCA's

Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich, Cheshire, at just 10.5oz, after being rescued by volunteers at Kirklees Valley Wildlife Rescue in April.

Its senior clinician, Melanie Chapman, said: "Hetty was incredibly small when she arrived - only a few days old - but the punky-haired

img-97.jpeg

angry chick won our love and adoration. We worked out a plan for her, which required a dedicated team effort.

"These birds have incredibly specialised needs. All the staff were smitten by her and we waited with bated breath as she grew because herons often suffer from a condition affecting their bones and joints.

"We spotted what looked like the beginning of a condition called Angel Wing, but we bandaged her wings up carefully. Her wings healed and her feathers were waterproofed.

"It was with heavy hearts that she was boxed up to be released."

Volunteers continue to monitor her progress.

SOS to stop hedgehogs being killed on roads

BY EMILY BEAMENT

HOMEOWNERS may be able to save the hedgehog, after research found almost a third of them die on roads.

Conservationists watched four populations of the prickly creatures for 18 months and learned that up to 29% were run over each year.

Smaller groups of 15 or fewer were less able to regenerate their numbers.

Larger populations, which suffered greater losses, were able to offset them. The study by Nottingham Trent University also found most of those run over were males.

Hedgehogs are vulnerable to extinction after rural numbers plunged by up to 75% since 2000. They are threatened by habitat loss,

img-98.jpeg

Up to a third of hedgehogs are run over

insecticide poisoning and injury from garden and farming equipment.

Experts say it is impossible to make roads safer but keeping hedgehogs away helps. They suggest homeowners leave wild areas outside for food and nesting, and create gaps in fences and walls between gardens.

TALES FROM THE SET

Newlyweds go fourth and cast their web on captive audience

Edited by KATHRYN CRAVEN

Coming in at an impressive 38th in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is this week's big release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Tom Holland takes the lead for the fourth time as Peter Parker, having made his debut in 2017's Homecoming, where he first met his now wife Zendaya. This time around, the world has forgotten that he exists, so he anonymously protects New York City and investigates a powerful new threat.

Bafta winner Tom, 30, told Esquire that he took more of an assertive stance when it came to shaping Peter's story. "I have been so lucky that the fanbase has been so vocal about what they love from the franchise.

"I love standing up for the character, and making sure the decisions we make are what's best [for him]."

In an interview with KinoTV, he added that he has felt the pressure of making these films more as time has gone on: "[I] didn't necessarily understand the stakes and the scope and scale of like what [they] were a part of. Then I think after the third

'So many connect to this character and Tom handled it with grace'

movie came out, making this film was the most nervous I'd been stepping on to set as Spider-Man. But you know, it's been quadruply fulfilling because of those nerves."

Emmy and Golden Globe winner Zendaya, 29, also told KinoTV she believes she and her co-stars have gained confidence as time has gone on playing these roles: "We look back with such fondness and joy, but also you're like, 'Oh my god, I was like a literal infant'. You know what I mean? So, I think there's a wisdom."

She continued: "So many people connect to this character, to Peter Parker, to Spider-Man, and especially young people. I think that [Tom] just handled that weight with such grace and really loves and cares so much about the character and what [he] means to other people, and realising that when you are in front of these kids, you are Spider-Man. You are this person to them."

WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT CERT 0, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★★★

Bristol-based stop-motion animation wizards Sardman are truly the mutt's nuts (sorry Gromit!). To mark the studio's 50th anniversary, the Oscar and Bafta-winning debut feature film of the eponymous cheese-loving everyman and his resourceful pet pooch careens back into cinemas.

As Wallace might say, in between mouthfuls of Wensleydale, it's "cracking" stuff.

With only a few days to go before the annual giant vegetable competition, Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and Gromit's humane pest-control business Anti-Pesto is booming. Any time a furry critter strays into a garden or greenhouses, the duo are swiftly on site, armed with nets or a Bun-Vac 6000 suction unit.

The company's fortunes nosedive when a huge rabbit-like creature begins to decimate the town's veg plots. Competition hostess Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter) implores Wallace and Gromit to catch the floppy-eared monstrosity. To guarantee success, she also hires Victor Quartermaine (Ralph Fiennes) to hunt the humongous critter, igniting fierce competition between the two suitors.

This is a joyous conflation of comedy, action and pungent fromage. Screenwriters reference classic horror movies, such as the Reverend using vegetables to make a cross to ward off the fearsome Were-Rabbit. Look closely – every frame is crammed with quirky detail, like Wallace's bookshelf (East Of Edam, Grated Expectations) or the Smug fridge where the hapless heroes keep their jar of Middle Aged Spread chilled.

The quality of the animation is breathtaking. Gromit's eyebrows have never been more expressive and the final sequence is a triumph, involving various forms of transport and a spot of slow motion.

THE DEVIL'S MOUTH

CERT 15, ON PRIME VIDEO NOW ★★★

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water, director Jeff Wadlow strands five American college graduates in a Thai cave system, shortly after a torrential downpour has washed an aggressive bull shark in from the ocean and trapped the territorial predator in a labyrinth of tunnels festooned with razor-sharp rocks.

Screenwriters Aja Gabel and Myung Joh Wesner are blunt in their approach to reducing the small ensemble cast to chum, identifying early on who might deserve to survive beyond the end credits.

Adrienne (Tommi Rose) and her boyfriend Greg (Gavin Casalegno), Max (Lana Condor) and her boyfriend James (Nico Hiraga) and scaredy-cat fifth wheel

Sara (Kathryn Newton) are determined to enjoy one final summer hurrah before they are forced to accept the responsibilities of adulthood. They travel to Thailand in honour of Sara's late father and kayak into a remote cave system led by trusted guide Wat (Tayme Thapthimthong). Panic surfaces as the interlopers realise a silent killer is stalking them and every escape route requires them to swim or splash towards the light.

The Devil's Mouth is an efficient but predictable survival thriller that quickly sketches the 20-something protagonists and creates divisions ahead of the first clearly telegraphed attack.

Wadlow ramps up the intensity of the bloodletting before a final showdown set in motion by a pointed line of dialogue in the opening 30 minutes.

LOVE ME

CERT 15, ON NOW/DRY CINEMA FROM SATURDAY ★★

I am otherworldly being, visiting Earth for the first time, chose to quickly educate itself about humanity by scouring the internet and social media posts, what would the lasting impression of our species be?

img-109.jpeg

That's the grurdy existential question posed by married film-makers Sam and Andy Zuchero in their audacious debut feature.

Love Me is a quirky romance conducted millions of years after what appears to be nuclear Armageddon wiped homo sapiens off the surface of the planet.

The ice caps have melted and there's water everywhere but no one to drink a drop.

A metal buoy, which is anthropomorphised with a single eye and voiced by Kristen Stewart, floats in the undulating sea of blue seeking a close encounter of the telecommunications kind. The buoy connects with a satellite

carreening overhead (voiced by Steven Yeun), which is conveniently loaded with a treasure trove of searchable web pages and YouTube videos.

The inanimate objects develop "human" personalities a la VOLL-E by studying the interactions of vlogging couple Deja and Liam (Stewart and Yeun again) and replicating their bygone love story and its various upheavals.

Love Me has lofty creative ambitions but the Zucheros' picture yields low emotional returns despite some snazzy stylistic flourishes to sift meaning from the digital mire.

The script turns up the volume on a cautionary note about the artificiality of online romances, but neither Deja nor Liam feel worthy of the characters' diligent study or our time. Occasionally, offbeat humour rubs uncomfortably against heavier soul-searching. At the end of the world, there's hackneyed informational overload.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

CERT 12L IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★★

With great responsibility comes great sadness and aching regret. Tom Holland's fourth headline foray as New York's friendly neighbourhood webslinger begins with a special effects-laden bang and ends with a whimper of anguish.

That narrative trajectory feels right for a tortured hero who has given up everything to protect the people he loves. War on Earth-616 in the sprawling Marvel Comics multiverse demands sacrifices, and for this iteration of Spider-Man, self-destruction spreads like black mould in the absence of family and friendship.

Thanks to the spellcasting of Doctor Strange, the world has forgotten Peter Parker (Tom Holland) leads a secret double life.

Sweetheart MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) no longer have cherished memories of Peter and the lonely crimefighter struggles to maintain emotional distance from the pair.

As he forges ahead on his own, Peter undergoes a dramatic transformation because of his mutating human-arachnoid DNA. He seeks to suppress an emerging dark side with guidance from Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) just as a powerful threat emerges in the Big Apple. Only Peter can sense the insidious presence. The source of the malevolence threatens to harm MJ and Peter joins forces with grizzled vigilante Frank Castle aka Punisher (Jon Bernthal) to protect her.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is an exhilarating next chapter of Peter's evolution and the most emotionally rich and satisfying

tour of Holland's spandex-clad duty to date. In the five years since Spider-Man: No Way Home became the highest grossing instalment of the franchise, the actor has spent countless months surfing online forums to understand what the fandom wants.

He fed that intelligence back to returning screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. They deliver a lean, muscular rites-of-passage story punctuated by bombastic action set pieces that pays unabashed fan service and overtly tees up a cataclysmic superhero showdown in Avengers: Doomsday this December.

A spectacular supporting performance from Sadie Sink complements Holland's gut-punching work. He rips out his character's heart in several scenes and sparks a delightfully profane double act

with Bernthal's brute. Thanks to slippery plot machinations, Zendaya inhabits multiple facets of MJ while Batalon is underused but adds welcome comic relief.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton proves his work behind the camera of the thrilling Marvel Comics origin story demonstrating Shang-Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings was no fluke.

An outlandish action sequence with a runaway armoured vehicle shot on the streets of Glasgow (standing in for New York) doesn't disappoint, and the gravity-defying showdown between Spider-Man and ninja crime syndicate The Hand is an eye-popping feast of flashing blades, acrobatics and throwing stars.

The nefarious warriors repeatedly miss their target with spinning shuriken but Brand New Day hits its intended targets with ferocity and intent.

ISH

CERT 15, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★★

Shot in striking black and white by cinematographer Jermaine Canute Edwards, Ish is a piercing study of modern masculinity, marginalisation and cultural identity, framed as a coming-of-age story between two 12-year-old boys in the cultural melting pot of Luton.

Central characters are at the mercy of post-9/11 counter-terrorism strategies such as Prevent and multidisciplinary artist Imran Perretta's compelling debut feature draws on painful personal experience to sound the death knell on childhood

innocence. Ishmail (Farhan Hasnat) is grieving the loss of his mother in the company of his father Naeem (Avin Shah), who works at the nearby airport, older sister Samira (Joy Crookes) and grandmother (Sudha Bhuchar). Best friend Maram (Yahya Kitana), who is deeply connected to his Palestinian roots, provides words of comfort.

However, horrific news stories coming out of Gaza are a sobering reminder to Maram of harsh realities that exist outside the boys' idyll of playfights and picking blackberries. A traumatic police stop-and-search bursts the bubble: Maram is

apprehended but Ish runs away, abandoning his brother-in-arms in a moment of blind panic.

Co-written by Perretta and playwright Enda Walsh, Ish elicits stunning performances from non-professional actors Hasnat and Kitana, who have been friends in real life since the age of three.

That innate familiarity adds a sheen of authenticity to the steady, inevitable breakdown of Ish and Maram's relationship. Perretta's timely film swims confidently in a rising tide of anti-Muslim violence and acknowledges that not everyone can keep their heads above water.

AUTHOR OF THE WEEK

Ola Labib

The British-Sudanese Muslim comedian reveals how she has overcome bullying, racism and trolls

Over the years, Sudanese stand-up Ola Labib has batted away racist taunts and prejudice through humour. "I get trolled so much," says the woman who has forged a career in comedy, from open-mic sessions to becoming the first Black Sudanese Muslim woman to perform at the O2 Arena. "Trolling is literally 90% of my career! But then I do videos responding to trolls and they get millions of views."

Ola, 37, says she still encounters racism. "It quietened down in the early 2000s but in the last three or four years it is the worst it's ever been." Social media and anti-immigration propaganda hasn't helped, says the comedian.

"I think this is the first time that I'd actually consider relocating to a different country."

Born and raised in Portsmouth, Ola explains her experiences of being brought up in a strict but loving Muslim Sudanese family. She also talks about navigating a blend of strict Islamic values, African heritage and British culture in her memoir How Not To Lead A Double Life, where she also discusses her path to happiness and marriage to Kashta, better known as American rapper Ramey Dawoud, who she married in Sudan.

"I believe humour and comedy is the best way to put a message across without it being so difficult to process," says Ola, whose debut semi-autobiographical comedy pilot The Pharmacy, based on her years as a pharmacist, aired on Channel 4 last year.

She highlights in the book how she felt as though she was living a double life - never quite Sudanese enough for her family and community, yet never British enough to fully belong in the world around her. She took to

wearing a hijab aged 10, not due to any deep religious motive, but because she'd met some cool, stylish older girls at her Saturday Islamic school who did the same.

At school she soon learned that her best defence was to be funny. "If I made people laugh, I was safe. Humour got them on my side, and socially I started to flourish," she recalls.

She says she was bullied primarily because she looked different. "I put in a yearbook picture of me when I was in Year Five and I was literally the only person of colour in the year."

One of the bullies contacted her on Facebook recently, she reveals. "He said, 'Oh my God, I just saw you on Celebrity Pointless. Do you remember me?' We sat next to each other in science'. I didn't respond, but in my head I was thinking, 'Yeah, you made my life miserable for two years'."

'If I made people laugh I was safe'

While in her younger days she resented what she saw as her lack of freedom, today has a different view.

"When you're younger, you interpret it as freedom, but as I've grown older - I'm married

now and settled - I look back, and I see they (parents) give you the freedom that they think will protect you from the outside world.

"They don't want you to go out late because they're scared of what happens to you. So I don't necessarily see it as lack of freedom."

Ola studied pharmacy at Portsmouth University, but that eventually gave way to a comedy career, much to her mother's disdain, who said that by doing this "thing" (she couldn't bring herself to say comedy), Ola had brought shame and embarrassment to the family.

"For her, it's not so much that it was comedy. I think she was worried about what people

img-113.jpeg

would say because it's so unorthodox. Making my parents happy is so important," she continues. "They are so loving, want the very best for me and they've got me out of some of the darkest times in my life. But sometimes there's pressure with parents that you sacrifice your happiness for theirs."

After performing at The O2 Arena, Ola said "Comedy is such a hard feeling to describe. When I was doing open mic you're on top of the world. You don't think about anything in your life other than you want to entertain. You don't want to bomb, you want to make people laugh. For me, it became like a drug, like a getaway."

Initially, Ola didn't want her community to find out she was performing comedy. "But when I did The O2 I was very overwhelmed by how supportive they were. It was like, 'Oh, now finally we've got representation in the UK'. That took me by absolute surprise."

When civil war broke out in Sudan three years ago, Ola stopped gigging and became

depressed, she recalls. It was a tough time for her family and everyone who had that connection.

"Then eventually, because I did comedy fund-raisers, I found that performing, even if it was just for five minutes, makes you forget for a moment. It was like a form of therapy."

Today, she and her husband live down the road from her parents in Portsmouth and her community remains all important, she says. When she performed in the city on her last tour, she didn't think they'd attend.

"When the community turned up to my gig, most of them didn't even understand a word I was saying. But they were there for support."

Ola has projects in development with the BBC and Channel 4, and has written a pitch for another book. "I'm a Sudanese girl from a small seaside town, with working-class parents.

"There are just so many possibilities out there on how to be successful."

How Not To Lead A Double Life by Ola Labib is published by Robinson, £22.

DELIVERANCE

BY SAINA MR. PAPERACK, £9.99

Having turned her back on her father's brutal crime syndicate, Jia Khan was building a career as a lawyer until the bloody events of Mir's 2021 debut, The Khan,

forced her to seek a path of revenge.

Much like Michael Corleone, she was a reluctant but, once bloodied, highly effective recruit to the family business. Now queen of an underworld dominated by men, the mother-of-two is trying to consolidate her power, survive and, whisper it, even make amends for her criminal empire.

A hostage situation in Pakistan provides an opportunity to win favour with those in power if she can survive long enough.

This masterful conclusion to Mir's stunning trilogy about the Anglo-Pakistani underworld – a British take on The Godfather set in the streets of an unnamed Northern city – makes you want to go back to the beginning and start again.

Utterly brilliant. 8/10

THE WOMAN WHO WASN'T THERE

BY WILLIAM MISSET, HARDBACK, £16.99

Bestselling crime writer Marian Lane, creator of "Dinner Lady Detective" Maddie Malone, is facing the wrath of her editor and agent after turning in a

below-par manuscript for the final instalment in her blockbuster series.

But their concerns pale into insignificance when the police pull her off stage at a literary festival to reveal that her husband Dane has been found dead of a fentanyl overdose following a mysterious fire at their home.

Suddenly Marian is cast into a mystery as perplexing as any of her own pot-boilers in this ingenious love letter to crime writing. Things only get stranger when a mysterious woman appears at her door claiming to have comforted Dane during his final moments. Yet nobody saw her and Marian soon realises nothing is as it seems.

A twisty, standalone from the creator of the hit Showman Detective series. 9/10

ALL KILLERS ABOARD

BY DAVID FENNELL, HARDBACK, £20

After making his name writing the insanely dark DI Grace Archer series, David Fennell sends readers off for a shipload of fun in this wickedly entertaining

new standalone.

There's something fishy aboard the luxury Jewel of the Atlantic liner and for once it's not the all-you-can-eat buffet. Unbeknownst to passengers, the mysterious Midnight Chorus Society is actually the front for a serial killers' convention.

Also making the journey from Southampton to New York is Hollywood star Jacqui Dulae of TV's hit Lady Detective series and struggling writer Martha Hammond, who's taken the task of ghosting Jacqui's new book over a job in Greggs. The pair are beavering away in not quite harmony when a brutal murder forces them to take on a real-life investigation. With a ship full of suspects, the scene is set for this devilishly funny murder-mystery. 8/10

THE KNIFE MAKER OF VENICE

BY DAVID GILMAN, HARDBACK, £22

Snatched from his home in Totnes by slave raiders and forced to fight for his life, headstrong young blacksmith Richard Sheriff is sold into servitude in

Venice where his talents see him apprenticed to a knife maker.

But pirate captain John Challenor has other plans for Richard's beloved sister Elizabeth and the siblings are torn apart. While Richard's skills win him renown, he never forgets Elizabeth and their relationship is at the emotional core of this gripping historical thriller.

Gilman is a master of character, plot and place, Sheriff is a compelling hero, and Venice forms a dark and beguiling setting for the action. This rip-roaring tale, set against the backdrop of greed, violence and corruption in 17th-century Europe, never lets up the pace. A page-turner of the highest order, perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Dan Jones and Giles Kristian. 9/10

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH WITH ALFIE MOORE

Jack in more innocent times, a Neighbourhood Watch window sticker could drive fear into the heart of any knock-a-door runners.

Times and crimes have changed, but Neighbourhood Watch remains the biggest volunteer-led crime-prevention charity we've got, with 2.3 million members.

For this new series, copper-turned-comedian Alfie is championing its ongoing work, sharing advice on staying safe and speaking to famous faces about their run-ins with wrong 'uns.

Breakfast TV's Penny Smith is first in Alfie's interview room, who has been the victim of burglary not just once, but twice.

"Part of the problem with being on live TV is they can tell when you are out," she tells Alfie. And while she was reading the news to the nation, burglars were smashing in the window of her London flat, and helping themselves to her black and white telly and, worse, family jewellery. ("I felt really, really angry about these toeregs going in and taking stuff and probably flogging it for next to nothing.")

Alfie is the perfect match for the mic, who's seen it all as a former officer in Scunthorpe, before finding a happier patch on the comedy circuit and with his Radio 4 series, It's A Fair Cop. So

img-120.jpeg

CURTAIN TWITCHERS OF THE WORLD UNITE

it's not dry dos and don'ts and anxiety-inducing crime stats. It's helpful and hopeful, with a focus on the importance of good neighbours, which, he appreciates, involves an element of pot luck. I've struck gold with my current, caring cul-de-sac, but have also shared walls with screechy creeps.

Penny admits she now needs to live somewhere where she's able to knock on a door and ask "can you help me?", and would move if she didn't have some sort of community around her.

A connected community is a place where crime can't thrive.

Weather presenter Ruth

Dodsworth, Absolute Radio host Andy Bush and maths teacher and quiz champion Bobby Seagull will also be discussing their neighbourhoods, past and present, with Alfie, and criminal encounters.

And chief curtain twitcher John Hayward-Cripps, Neighbourhood Watch CEO, is chipping in with his watchy wisdom. Like no Facebook updates when you're away on holiday. Prickly bushes under windows are offputting, because burglars are essentially lazy. Alfie suggests a Venus burglar trap.

And video doorbells. Everybody needs good video doorbells.

MANIFESTO

Manifestos can change the world, demanding anything from a new world order to nationalising Adele.

Storyteller Dan Taberski lays out why manifestos have turned so twisted in the 21st century, and why anger, when used correctly, can be a fuel for good.

He speaks to a passionate cast of artists, visionaries, anarchists and "characters" in this six-part Audible Original, who've been driven to shake-up the status quo. And it offers a compelling take on the Occupy

img-121.jpeg

Wall Street movement against economic inequality, and the Free State Project, which aims to shrink nanny state laws, taxes and social restrictions by creating a breakaway regime in New Hampshire in the US.

Thoughtful, poignant and a celebration of the courageous who feel mad as hell, and are not going to take it any more.

INTRIGUE LOCKERBIE

Later this year, a Libyan man suspected of making the bomb that blew up Pan Am Flight 103 goes on trial. For this BBC Sounds six-parter, Scottish journalist Myles Bonnar sheds new light on investigations into the UK's deadliest terror attack.

The Lockerbie bombing in 1988, which killed 270 people, remains a story loaded with conspiracy theories, and Myles approaches the tragedy with fresh, respectful eyes, hearing from investigators, intelligence operatives

img-122.jpeg

and families of victims. Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora died in the explosion, remains convinced the police investigation into Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted of the bombing, was flawed, instead blaming Iran. A weighty, tangled tale, with archive audio a further reminder of the horror and unanswered questions.

TODAY'S TV ONES TO WATCH

by MIKE WARD TV critic

img-160.jpeg

HOLIDAY SCAMS: DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT, 5, 7PM

FROM credit card cons to PIN theft, Alexis Conran offers anti-scam tips to follow when we travel.

But he doesn't mention mine, which is: Trust Nobody.

I know it's not foolproof, but surely it's sound advice.

In fact, I might even get it tattooed on my arm. I realise it would advertise the fact I had a low opinion of people. But if I had it done in Latin (Google Translate tells me it's "Nemo Confidunt") no one would twig.

Or almost no one, I might bump into Julius Caesar, but I'm sure he'd agree with me.

img-161.jpeg

SURGERY SECRETS OF THE SUPER DICH, 6A, 6PM

MORGAN, a 21-year-old model from Malta, is in London for a few days. But she's not come just to see the sights. She's also come to see a man who's going to tighten and contour her jawline, using augmented reality technology. It'll cost her around £4,000 but Morgan reckons it's worth every penny.

Meanwhile, in Manchester, fitness fan James (pursuing "the ultimate healthy physique") has been working out seven days a week, combining this with weekly clinic sessions.

James says he's been having "NAD drips", which I must say surprised me as he's only 35, but apparently that's just the name of the treatment.

BEST MYSTERY

THE HARDWESSER MYSTERIES INC., 7PM

Singer Heather Small guest stars in this episode as the villagers get ready for a concert at the local theatre but then find one of the acts is dead. Stars Sally Phillips.

SIR EDWARD, THE HAPPY WANDERER

PLEASE forgive my ignorance if this is common knowledge but I had no idea that Sir Edward Elgar, the man who composed Land Of Hope And Glory, was a Wolves fan. As in Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, that is.

I've just found that out via a wee bit of Googling, ahead of this Elgar-themed Albert Hall concert they're showing tonight.

You see, I felt I should find you a bit of Edward Elgar trivia, rather than subject you to my ill-informed observations about his Symphony No. 1 in A flat major, which is what gets this event underway (Ryan Wigglesworth conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra).

So, yes, I went in search of some. And the

Wolves thing is what I stumbled upon. Not only was Elgar quite a fan (apparently he first watched them in February 1998, at home to Stoke City, and would later cycle many miles to matches) but it says he even wrote a Wolves chant, entitled He Banged The Leather For Goal, inspired by a newspaper report on their heroic striker Billy Malpass.

Even as I write this, of course, I can hear Wolves fans screaming: "Yes, Mike, you clueless ninny, of COURSE Sir Edward Elgar composed He Banged The Leather For Goal, inspired by a newspaper report on our heroic striker Billy Malpass. Everyone knows that."

But like I say, it's news to me.

It does sound as though "chant" might be a bit of a stretch – it was apparently just a few notes – but even so. What a top bloke. Name

me another legendary composer who was nuts about a football team.

Actually, no, on second thoughts, please don't.

There's bound to be someone reading this and thinking "Does Mike Ward genuinely not know that Ludwig van Beethoven was a season ticket holder at West Brom? I shall write to him at once and inform him that he's a moron."

Other Elgar trivia I found (I've started so I'll finish) include the fact his bicycle was called Mr Phoebus, that he built a lab in his shed in which he did chemistry experiments, and that one day he accidentally blew up his water butt.

There's no need to write in and thank me for all this, by the way.

BEST DRAMA

GRANITE: MARBOON INC., 8PM

The investigation into Lisa Sterling's murder continues to highlight tensions in the local communities, and it's about to get worse when Rose's caravan goes up in flames.

BEST COMEDY

ANN DRUID INC., 9, 3PM

BEST REINVENTION

BERGERAC INC., 9PM

The Wakefields get a threatening letter that seems to back up Jim's hunch that the wrong people are in custody for Cate's death, which leads to a new suspect. Damien Molony stars.

Reform must be central to vital social care talks

WHY is it that Reform UK, which is the most likely party to win the next general election, is not considered for inclusion in this new social care discussion ("Burnham: I'll work with rivals to fix social care", July 28)?

Labour must be scared of what Reform might suggest, that can be the only reason. Reform has the largest support of any of the parties so it should have a say.

Andy Burnham is only giving lip service to the Tories and Lib Dems to say he is listening to them. He will make the decisions to enhance his own standing as he needs their input as he has not got a clue, except taxing to help social care.

Donald Wiseman, Norwich

Stop the boats and spend billions saved on elderly

THIS is nothing new and none of the political parties have really come up with a solution ("2m missing out on social care they need", July 29).

Of course we need better care for the elderly, including the NHS, but does it really have to come from penalising OAPs again and again?

Instead of imposing this supposed 10% "death tax", for goodness' sake do something urgently about the illegal boat people who come to our shores and the money saved would be better spent on bolstering social care and the NHS.

Other countries seem to be doing more to halt the influx of illegal migrants, why can't we?

Sylvia Rylance,

Cleadon, Tyne & Wear

Zack deserves the sack for disgusting Farage post

HOW many more screw-ups can Green Party leader Zack Polanski make before he gets the boot he so richly deserves ("Police will not probe Polanski", July 30)?

The guillotine T-shirt re-post is just the latest after "not realising" he needed to pay council tax for the three years he lived on a houseboat, or criticising police arresting a man stabbing Jewish people in Golders Green, or pushing legalising hard drugs.

The man is a menace and should never be leader of a political party.

Barrie Warren,

Bury, Lancs

Connolly went to jail for way less than Polanski

HOW appalling that the police are not going to take any action against Zack Polanski for re-posting the message about guillotining Nigel Farage. Lucy Connolly was jailed after the riots in 2024 for a tweet she quickly deleted. This is two-tier policing. Obviously, politicians are not being held to the same level of behaviour as us ordinary folk.

Double standards after Linehan's armed arrest

SO THE Met Police say they will not take any action against

LETTER OF THE DAY

img-170.jpeg

Dignity In Dying campaigners outside Parliament

poisonous Polanski over his shared guillotine image referencing Nigel Farage, stating it was "unlikely sharing of the image online would constitute a criminal offence".

A hate crime by normal policing standards, I say.

Remember the armed arrest of Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan at Heathrow Airport for a similar incident?

John Howard,

Hemel Hempstead, Herts

Met Police would be on Nigel like a ton of bricks

AGAIN we have proof that double standards are practiced by our police forces.

In the same month of Ann Widdecombe's death, Green Party leader Zack Polanski considered an individual displaying a threat to Nigel Farage as agreeable.

That Polanski should be banned as an MP, is fairly obvious to most people.

More sinister was the announcement from the Met Police that no further action would be required. Not even interviewing the person involved.

Would the police pursue Farage if he was stupid enough to do something similar to an opponent?

Fat cat NHS penpushers as patients stuck in corridors

AFTER reading we have to pay six-figure sums to attract the best in the NHS, as we have been throwing money at the NHS for some time now, can anyone tell me when will we have an NHS fit for purpose ("5'4 NHS fatcats earn more than Prime Minister", July 27)?

No queues in corridors, only small waiting times for appointments for operations in weeks instead of years and appointments for GPs. What is the time scale, this year, next year or sometime never?

Matthew Coulter, Waddington, Lincs

Trump's fingerprints all over FIFA's greedy plan

ANYBODY else think that, after the incidents in the World Cup, this all stinks of Donald Trump ("Our game is not yours to sell", July 29)?

No other President has used his position to enhance their family fortunes as much has he has, then along comes Gianni "have a FIFA Peace Prize" Infantino.

The beautiful game is exploited enough without more money going to FIFA, which thinks up a new competition every year. At least

Defenceless elderly will be in danger

I, LIKE many other people in this country, am very concerned about the continued promotion of assisted dying as an option ("Dying tell PM: We don't have time for these delays", July 30).

What these campaigners who want assisted dying to be legalised forget, or conveniently ignore, is the simple fact that not everyone is as altruistic as they are and there will be cases concerning older people where good supplants concern and love.

Legalising assisted dying will open a Pandora's box with so many unintended consequences.

Many of us wish to leave the status quo exactly as it is.

Ronald Brown,

Uckfield, E Sussex

Strong and stable energy Ed, not weak and wobbly

Could be worse, we might be lumbered with Meghan

SO VIRGINIA Blackburn says we have new Prime Minister no one voted for, secondly we have Prince Harry gracing our shores again soon, who nobody wants (July 30).

Virginia asks can't we have someone we actually like turn up? Be careful what you wish for, it could turn out to be his other half Meghan Markle.

Perish the thought.

VANESSA'S RIGHT, LIFE'S A PAGE-TURNER WHEN YOU LOVE BOOKS

I AGREE with Daily Express columnist Vanessa Feltz on the importance of having books in your life ("The story of my life, read me like a book", July 29).

I still have books from my childhood that I would never ever part with. But on having new

bookshelves built, I realised that there were loads of books which I could comfortably manage without.

It was very cathartic for me to have such big a clear-out and now I have an excuse to buy more, as I have the room for them.

40 years ago (1986)

Our front page carried an appeal to help trace the man police believed had kidnapped missing estate agent Suzy Lamplugh.

The saleswoman, 25, disappeared after showing a bogus client - referred to as Mr Kipper - around a house in Fulham, West London.

In 2002 police said they believed convicted killer and serial rapist John Cannan was responsible for her murder but the CPS decided there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him.

Cannan died in prison while serving a 35-year sentence for the rape and murder of Shirley Banks.

14 years ago (2012)

Swimmer Michael Phelps won a record 19th Olympic medal when he helped the US team to gold in the 200m freestyle relay at the London Olympics.

60 years ago (1966)

Thirty-one people died, including eight children, when the pleasure cruiser MV Darlwyne disappeared off the Cornish coast in bad weather. Twelve bodies were recovered but the boat was not found. An inquiry blamed the vessel's owner John Barratt and captain Brian Bown for allowing it to sail in an unseaworthy state.

RUPERT AND THE ANGRY SEA No.3

Near Cocklesands they glimpse the sea. It's rough – although the day's wind-free.

img-183.jpeg

Sam starts the car, the trip's begun. "Goodbye!" calls Mrs Bear. "Have fun!"

In no time at all Mrs Bear has packed a case for Rupert, and he is on his way to Cocklesands with Sam. Sam explains that his friend Jem is a fisherman who has a little boat of his own. Rupert can hardly wait for the sea to come in sight, but when it does, just outside Cocklesands, the two friends can hardly believe their eyes. Although it is a fine calm day the water looks windswept and rough. Then the road turns inland and they lose sight of the sea for a while.

Shell's bumper buyback after earnings soar in war turmoil

SHELL is continuing its bumper share buyback after revealing the Iran war's effect on oil prices and trading volumes helped it book near-record profit.

The Anglo-Dutch giant's net profit hit $9.8bn (£7.4bn) from April to July, more than double the same period last year and beating predictions.

The petrochemicals behemoth announced it would continue to return much of those profits to shareholders and continue its $3bn quarterly share buyback programme.

The profit haul follows Brent crude – the international benchmark for oil prices – hitting highs of $126 per barrel at the end of April amid disruption to market flows through the vital Strad of Hermsz.

The narrow waterway, which connects the Persian gulf and Gulf of Oman, was effectively closed by Iran after war broke out at the end of February.

CEO Waei Sawan said there was “severe disruption in global energy markets” following the outbreak of war.

Despite its profits rise, the blue-clip energy firm faced some disruption from the conflict. It reported a 30% drop in production from its integrated gas division, compared with the same quarter

BY SAMUEL NORMAN

last year. Shell's Pearl gas-to-liquids site in Qatar also stopped production in March after it was hit and damaged during missile strikes.

Liquefied natural gas facilities in the country that are partly owned by Shell were also affected.

The Pearl site has not been able to produce gas since the missile attack.

After a period of relative calm amid peace talks and a barely held ceasefire, tensions in the oil market have over the past week returned to levels not seen since the beginning of June.

Both the US and Iran also warned that hopes of a

return to peace negotiations were premature.

Brent crude briefly broke $100 a barrel but has since slipped back to somewhere around the $90 mark.

"Volatility is the new normal," Sawan told CNBC yesterday. "What we have been trying to build is a company that is able to thrive through volatility... the macro [environment] is such that commodity prices are high and that provides a very strong tailwind for our results."

ADIDAS AD SPEND IS AN OWN GOAL

img-190.jpeg

England team after receiving their third-place World Cup medals

ADIDAS shares sank yesterday after the sportswear firm missed quarterly profit expectations amid a big hike in World Cup marketing spend.

Shares in the German firm opened more than 15% down despite revenues rising 14% to £5.7bn and the firm maintaining its full-year operating profit target of £2bn. It spent £180m

on marketing in the past year, including a five-minute all-star advert with the likes of Timothee Chalamet, Lionel Messi, Bad Bunny, Jude Bellingham and Lamine Yamal.

The brand cited running and football as top growth sectors, with the men's and women's winners of this year's London Marathon both wearing Adidas.

LLOYD'S BANK

img-191.jpeg

Group beat profit forecasts

Thriving Lloyds invests in AI to slash £2bn costs

LLOYD'S Banking Group will use AI to cut £2billion in costs by 2030 after making a forecast-beating pre-tax profit of £4.3bn in the first half of 2026.

The Halifax and Bank of Scotland owner had expected to hit £4.1bn but was actually up 23% on the £3.5bn a year earlier. Lloyds said the result was

in part due to increased income from its investments while keeping costs flat, including lower severance bills.

Chief executive Charlie Nunn revealed the tech strategy, dubbed Accelerate 2030, aims to increase productivity and offer AI advice to customers. But he declined to detail

how that would affect staff. He added: "That is going to impact work. It is going to require us to continue to re-skill people and hire new people, but that's been my history for 30-odd years in financial services."

Lloyds also unveiled a new share buyback of £1bn for the period.

Hammerson nails Manchester deal

PROPERTY firm Hammerson has snapped up a stake in one of the UK's biggest shopping centres.

It paid £218m for a 50% stake in Manchester's Arndale shopping centre - Hammerson's first major external acquisition in over a decade.

CEO Rob Wilkinson showered praise on the city, adding to a growing list of bosses that have renewed their focus on the region following the arrival of Andy Burnham in No 10 as PM.

He said: "Manchester is one of Europe's most dynamic and fastest-growing urban economies, benefiting from strong demographics, excellent connectivity and the largest retail catchment outside London.

"Manchester Arndale sits at the heart of this exceptional city and has established itself as a premier retail destination, attracting more than 45 million visitors each year."

IT'S 350 UP AS WATKINS STILL LEADS CHARGE

THE BALLROOM LEEKS BRINGS veteran Kallum Watkins shows no signs of staying down ahead of his 350th Super League appearance tonight. The Rhinos take on Toulouse Olympique at Headingley, with Watkins celebrating his big milestone on the ground where he made his club debut as a teenager to years ago.

Watkins, 39, who is expected to sign a contract extension, has played 2nd at Under games at Leeds and the other 8th at Belford.

The England international continues to impress coach Brad Arthur, who said: "It's amazing. He just keeps shaking off the milestones, and there's no end in sight for him.

"It's a credit to him. His leadership is first-class, probably not so

Leeds v Toulouse

Kick-off him much in terms of what he says, but what he does.

"He's a real leader with his actions and the way he prepares and how professional he will's a good example for our young guys."

Leeds will also celebrate the 150th career appearance of hooker Jarred O'Connor.

At the other end of the spectrum, back-row forward Zek Lloyd, 18, will make his return.

"He couldn't take the smile off his face." Arthur said when the teenager found out he was playing.

"He's got a fair bit of skill. He carries the ball tough and he likes the collision part of it.

"He's only young and I said to him, 'You might get a couple of things wrong, but don't worry.'"

Hull KR v Bradford; Leigh v Wigan Kick-offs 8pm

BY JAMES SMAILES WILLIE PETERS wants payback for Hull KR's supporters tonight.

Last season's treble winners snapped a two-game losing run with victory in the Hull derby but are sat back in sixth place.

Peters (inset) said: "We played Wakefield a couple of weeks back (a 20-6 home defeat) and

it wasn't a Hull KR performance, so we certainly owe them a performance this week."

img-202.jpeg

There's a clash of in-form teams when Leigh take on Wigan with Leopards coach Adrian Lam wary of Warriors'

inspirational Bevan French. "He's going to be a handful here," admitted Lam. "He's very confident."

Last night: Huddersfield 22 Hull FC 16

CHARLEY HULL and Lottie Woad lead British hopes after round one of the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham and St Annes.

Hull briefly moved to three under after holing from off the green on the 15th. But the 30-year-old from Kettering undid that good work by finding the front bunker on the next to slip back to two under.

However, she showed true grit at the last after catching a greenside bunker with her second shot. Knowing a bogey would dent her chances, Hull splashed out to a foot and holed

for a par to post a 69. Woad, the 22-year-old from Surrey, carded a bogey-free, two-under-par 69 with a birdie on the par-five sixth and a monster putt for a two on the 12th.

It could have been even better, but her eagle putt at six rolled all the way around the hole and lipped out.

"There's not many birdie opportunities on this course, to be honest, so I think you've got to play the par five's pretty aggressively," Woad said.

"(The 12th) was great. There were so many fans out there, especially teeing off early, and

that one was definitely a bonus, and kind of made up for some of that. Everyone went pretty crazy, so it was great."

There was disappointment for Nelly Korda, who won the first two Majors of 2026, as she hit four bogeys in an underwhelming 73.

While Brit Georgia Hall is even further adrift after shooting a birdie-free round in her five-over par 76.

Jeeho Thitikul leads the way, the 23-year-old from Thailand who is still seeking a first major title hitting seven birdies in a flawless seven-under 64.

Ominously, Byu Hae-ran is two back after a draining a 15-footer on the last for a five-under 66.

The Korean, 25, is looking for a third straight major title having won the Women's PGA and the Evian Championship.

"Yeah, I'm just much better, calmer before a major so that's why these days my score is pretty low," she said.

"I was so amazed, and I asked my caddie why I'm playing well this week.

"I think it's because I'm more calm and enjoying the golf more, that's why these days my golf is going pretty well."

Campbell's MasterChef bid after title defence

BY JAMES TONEY in Glasgow

EMILY CAMPBELL can clearly stand the heat, so she's getting into the kitchen.

Britain's greatest weightlifter defended her Commonwealth Games +86kg title in record-breaking style before revealing her next challenge was MasterChef.

She's been cooking up a storm in her sport since her Olympic breakthrough in Tokyo five years ago, and this was a chef's-kiss performance.

With gold secured in Glasgow yesterday, she set about breaking her own Commonwealth record, hoisting the equivalent of two adult humans above her head with a new clean and jerk best of 163kg. Her winning total, added to her 115kg snatch, was also

a new Games record of 278kg. But you sense Campbell, who will compete in this year's Celebrity MasterChef on the BBC, has a higher purpose than just the 'bling', as she refers to her medal quests.

With her hair, lashes and nails on point, the others never stood a chance, her victory followed by a Highland jig.

"I want to show people that you can love what you do and still be absolutely fabulous while you're doing it," said Campbell, who had spent hours braiding her hair in red and white, complete with Team England logos.

"As an athlete, you always want to give your best performance, but the reason I've stayed in the sport so long is because I still genuinely enjoy

lifting. The Commonwealth Games are incredibly special. In 2018, I really started believing in myself and realised I could do this.

"Without those Games, I don't think I'd have achieved what I have now. Whenever I represent my flag, I do it with pride.

"People message me all the time saying they're inspired by what I do. If I've encouraged someone to follow something they're passionate about, then I've achieved far more than just winning medals."

Campbell's first Olympic campaign was funded by friends and family in Nottingham. In a Team England squad that perhaps lacks a little sparkle, Campbell is now the undisputed superstar.

However, whether she'll continue

to a third Olympics is a decision that now comes into sharp focus. Though she only took up the sport 10 years ago, at 32 she admits she feels the aches and pains that come with the hours spent in the gym.

"Elite sport is tough at any age but doing it in your 30s is a challenge," she added. "Where do I feel it after competition? Everywhere. Knees, shoulders, back - you name it.

"We have to make sensible decisions about how we manage my body. If I go to LA, I want to go there genuinely capable of competing for a medal."

THANKS to National Lottery players, more than £13million is raised every week for good causes. It's because of you that sport, arts, heritage and community projects, as well as our athletes competing at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, are supported across the UK.

BEATEN AZIZ'S RACISM RANT

BY JAMES TONEY in Glasgow

GAMES officials have denied claims of racism made by the grandson of former Uganda dictator Idi Amin.

Aziz Abdul was fuming after being disqualified from his heavyweight boxing quarter-final against England's Damar Thomas. And he claimed the judges were against him because he is a 'black African'.

However, the Ugandan head of Commonwealth Sport, Dr Donald Rukare, insisted he had no concerns about the fairness of the decision.

"We at Commonwealth Sport believe that every athlete is treated fairly in a non-discriminatory manner. We are inclusive," he said. "That was probably something said in the heat of the moment. The athletes are treated fairly. It was a fair field-of-play decision."

Aziz - who had labelled himself the 'baddest man in the Commonwealth' and spoken of his admiration for Amin, who killed an estimated 300,000 people during his seven years as president - was deducted points in every round.

Judges' consistency, rather than corruption, remains the biggest issue, but World Boxing has introduced measures to reduce bias, gathering in-depth data on scoring patterns to inform the selection of judges, who now undergo enhanced training.

Allegations of bias against African nations don't tally with results, with a guaranteed eight podiums across all men's and women's weight categories here: three for Namibia, two apiece for Lesotho and Zambia and one for Ghana.

ROOT BACK

New Kiwi in charge as Fleming named coach & batting ace Joe captain

'There is lots of young talent & we want them to fulfil their potential'

BY GEORGE SESSIONS STEPHEN FLEMING is looking forward to giving back to the English game having been confirmed as England's new Test head coach while Joe Root takes over as captain again.

Five-time Indian Premier League winner Fleming (inset) will replace compatriot Brendon McCullum.

McCullum lost his role in charge of the Test set-up after a 2-1 home series loss to New Zealand in June, which followed a disastrous Ashes campaign.

Ben Stokes stepped down as Test captain and retired from international cricket after defeat at Trent Bridge last month. The England and Wales Cricket Board announced yesterday Root will step up to fill the void.

The decision to return to Root, who has captained England in 65 Tests, will allow all-format player Harry Brook to focus on the white-ball captaincy ahead of next year's World Cup.

Root will resume his reign as captain in the three-match series with Pakistan in August, but former Chennai Super Kings coach Fleming will not be in charge. Marcus Trescothick will

instead act as interim head coach with the former New Zealand captain back in his homeland to spend time with his family before flying to the UK later in the summer to start preparations for the South Africa Test tour in December.

Fleming said: 'I'm incredibly excited to be joining England as Test coach. It's one of the most prestigious coaching positions in world cricket and I am honoured to be appointed.

"I am looking forward to working with the players and bedding in the gains made by Brendon and Ben Stokes.

"Of course, the ambition is always to win now. But equally, it's about ensuring the team is well placed for the medium and long-term future.

"There is a lot of young talent in and around the team and our aim is to help them fulfil their potential as world-class cricketers.

"I'm particularly looking forward to working with Joe Root as captain – a generational talent who has achieved so much already. I

know what it feels like to have the weight of leadership and international cricket take their toll, and when that happened to me, my love for the game was rekindled by going to Notts and winning the County Championship.

"English cricket gave that to me and it is a privilege to have this chance to give something back."

Fleming boasted an outstanding record in Test cricket as New Zealand captain, winning 28 matches and also played alongside McCullum for six years.

An already-positive relationship between Fleming and McCullum will be a welcome bonus for the ECB after previous difficulties trying to make the split-head coach role work.

Fleming has never coached in Test cricket before but he did captain Nottinghamshire to County Championship success in 2005 and more recently guided Southern Brave to The Hundred final three years ago.

Fleming impressed ECB chiefs during a round of interviews, after Andy Flower ruled himself out of the running earlier this month.

Rob Key, director of England men's cricket, said: "I believe he is the best person to guide a team stacked full of potential

and turn that talent into a world-class outfit that can not only achieve success but sustain it."

Root, who won 27 Tests during his first spell as England captain between 2017 and 2022, said: "It is a great honour and privilege to be asked to be England men's Test captain again.

"The opportunity to do that alongside Stephen is also a huge motivator.

"He has proved over a long period of time that he is an exceptional leader with a great knowledge of the game, and I am looking forward to working with him and helping to build a winning environment."

Oz coach: I see Ben at Ashes

Stokes retired from international cricket last month and has been playing for Durham in the One Day Cup.

England have just 10 Tests before the Ashes after being humiliated in Australia last winter.

McDonald (below)

insisted Stokes,

35, could still do a job in 2027. "The fairy tale would be

that he comes

back and takes on one more Ashes and builds a lot of hype on the way in," McDonald said.

"To me, he's still got a lot of good cricket left in him.

"There might be a full stop there, or there might be an opportunity for that new head coach to potentially twist his arm and bring him back in."

Durham's One Day Cup game against Yorkshire at York today is already sold out.

HINCAPIE IS GUNNING FOR MORE GLORY

img-214.jpeg

BY RYAN TAYLOR

PIERO HINCAPIE insists Arsenal will "fight for everything" as they seek to build on last season's Premier League title success.

The Ecuador international, who has now joined the Gunners on a permanent transfer following his loan from Bayer Leverkusen, admits glory did not come easy last term.

Now he's ready to do whatever it takes to ensure Arsenal win more trophies.

Reflecting on their title success, Hincapie (above) said: "Yes, that moment

was fantastic, because we were in first place all year, and obviously there were very difficult, very tough moments, but I think the team was there to face the music and always move forward depending on the adversities we faced.

"We have to work harder, work more than last year. We have players with much, much more experience. When you're a big team, you always want everything.

"So we're going to fight for everything. We're working for that, and God willing, I hope we can achieve all of that."

Cottagers strike double Real deal

BY RYAN TAYLOR

FULHAM have reached a double agreement with Real Madrid over the signing of similar Gonzalo Garcia (insert) and midfielder Cesar Palacios.

Both players are known to new Cottagers boss Alvaro Arbelos who coached them during his time at the Bernabeu last season.

They are paying an initial £34.3m for Garcia, 22, who lit up the Club World Cup last summer with four goals in a 4 appearance.

Fulham have also

secured an agreement for Palacios, 21, that could reach £3.6m with bonuses.

Arbelos's side are up to purchase 70 per cent of both players' rights, meaning Real Madrid will have a 30 per cent season clause.

A separate mechanism will also enable Los

Blancos to match any future bids. The Spaniards would be the club's second and third summer recruits after Jonah Kusi-Asare's permanent arrival from Bayern Munich.

SCHLAGER'S GLAS IS FULL WITH FOREST

img-215.jpeg

NOT TINGHAM FOREST signing Xaver Schlager may be new to English football, but he is no stranger to his new boss.

The midfielder, 28, played for Oliver Glasner in the Bundesliga at Wolfsburg.

And he can tell Forest supporters what to expect from the man who has taken over as manager at the City Ground.

"He brings success to Eintracht Frankfurt. He brings success to Crystal Palace. He brings success to Wolfsburg," said Schlager (above).

"Wolfsburg are now relegated to the second

league in Germany and when he was there we were playing in the Champions League.

"Every player gets better with him because he is a good coach.

"He's straight. He knows his tactics, he has a plan and he wants to give the best for the team. I like his strategy, I like his plan."

The Austria international added: "We stayed in contact when he was at Crystal Palace.

"It was perfect timing. He's moving, I wanted to move, I wanted to see a new league.

"I saw a good club with a good coach."

WHEN THE BOSS EYES A GUY, THAT HE PHONES UP TO BUY

IT HAS A MORE

BY ALASDAIR GOLD

SANDRO TONALI and Roberto De Zerbi was always set to be a match made in heaven... or rather in Italy.

When the Tottenham boss drew up his transfer targets in mid-March with sporting director Johan Lange during his negotiations to join the North London club, Tonali was one of his dream signings.

The Italy international was expected to be a tough get, until a story in the media sparked a chain of events that culminated in the 26-year-old being unveiled as Spurs' first £100m signing.

It's here De Zerbi takes up the tale that led Tonali to swap the surroundings of Newcastle to link up with his compatriot - both of them in love with the Northern Italy city of Brescia, where the former was born and the latter played for almost a decade at a club that this week was liquidated due to £20m of debt.

"The story is very simple. I saw Sandro wanted to leave before the end of the season, before our Chelsea game, and we have one friend in common - the team manager of Brescia," said De Zerbi, 47.

"I read a story which said, 'Tonali is leaving Newcastle in the summer', and I messaged my friend to say, 'Hey, inform Sandro, if we stay up, I'll go to him.'

"After 10 minutes, my friend answered, 'I said to Sandro and he's open'. Now we have to win one game to stay up!

"I watched Newcastle's game against West Ham, 90 minutes like this [indicates sweat pouring down his face], and Sandro played very well in the first half.

De Zerbi and Tonali share the key to £100m move

I said (to myself), 'If I stay up, I come to you, I come to you, I come to you.'

"When we won the final match against Everton, the day after I sent a message to him - 'Sandro, I want to speak with you'. After 10 minutes, we spoke, and after two days I went back to Italy and we met in his home.

"I didn't want to invite him to mine, because I thought maybe he's not comfortable in my home. I preferred to keep him in the right condition to say, 'Yes, why not?'"

With Manchester City also interested, De Zerbi was Tottenham's not-so-secret weapon thanks to that long-standing connection to their common city.

"Brescia is so small," said Tonali, who was born an hour away in Lodi. "I spent two weeks there, him as well, and I met him two or three times in the city, but not just him. I met my old team manager in Brescia. I met Roberto Baggio twice!

"I had spoken with (De Zerbi) when he was in Sassuolo, Marseille and Brighton. We

"I sent a message - 'Sandro, I want to speak with you'. After 10 mins, we spoke"

spoke every time because we are Italian, from Brescia, and it's a mini connection together."

Despite the presence of City, Tonali was won over by Spurs' desire to make him one of their own.

"I spoke with another team, but when I spoke with Tottenham, it was totally different," added the midfielder. "They spoke with 100 per cent passion Roberto and the director made the difference to the deal."

Tonali and his family had first mulled over a return home this summer, but it was obvious Serie A clubs would not be able to afford the huge fee Newcastle were looking for.

When Tottenham and De Zerbi came along, it was the perfect 'little Italy' for the Tonalis among numerous Italian staff and players.

"We decided to go to Italy, but it was impossible for the money," he said. "In England we found the best solution for me, my career, my football, my happiness, my family. I spoke with two teams and I knew within 15 minutes that Tottenham would be my next team."

Sir Alex Ferguson (Roy Keane, Forest to Man United 1993). Keane had agreed terms to join Blackburn until Fergie stepped in and persuaded the Irishman to change his mind over a few frames of

snooker, leading to Rovers boss Kenny Dalglish to threaten to hunt him down.

Harry Redknapp (Paul Merson, Aston Villa to Portsmouth 2000). Redknapp (right) famously offered Merson the captaincy and explicitly told him he wouldn't have to train on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Friday - he just needed to "turn it on" on Saturdays.

Jose Mourinho (Ashley Cole, Arsenal to Chelsea 2005). Chelsea manager

Mourinho and then Arsenal defender Cole met secretly at a London hotel to

discuss a controversial transfer from the Gunners that led to record fines for tapping up.

in Portugal. Guardiola simply told him: "I'd really like you to be on my team." Walker later admitted Pep's phone call left him "shivering".

RDZ DROPS ANOTHER BOMBA

BY ALASRAIR GOLD

ROBERTO DE ZERBI has revealed that

another Spurs transfer "bomba" is on the way. Spurs have already splashed £237million in the window, with Sandro Tonali becoming their first £100m player, just days after they splurged £85m in Mateus Fernandes. Now the earth Londoners are set to add to their attacking line-up with another big signing.

Spurs are interested in Manchester City winger Sandro (1991) and De Zerbi hinted a deal for a forward is close.

"In the transfer market even I want one player I become like a shark," De Zerbi said. "No chance to say not."

"The transfer market, it's not finished for sure, but we

completed 60 percent of our project in the transfer market. Now we have another bombal," the leader revealed with an excited look in his eye.

De Zerbi confirmed the new period would be an attacker and when asked whether the deal was close, he

asked: "I hope, but it's not finished for sure." The Tottenham boss said his list of transfer targets was compiled during his negotiations with sporting director, Johan Lange before he agreed to take on the role.

"A lot of players you are watching now on the pitch started from mid-March," admitted the 47-year-old. "The plan was clear at the beginning. The big problem was to stay up and play in the Premier League again."

Players will continue to leave Spurs

this summer as part of the rebuild, and De Zerbi said that he will respect Cristian Romero and Gianluona Vicario's wishes to leave with the star linked with Peter Milan and Juventus respectively.

He said: "At the start of my time, in

April, I had I don't know one million individual meetings. And [the players] told me what was their idea. I said: 'It's a help me to stay up, and then I help you go'. If you don't help me stay up, you stay underwater with me.

"Romero as a player is one of the world's best centre-backs, but at the end I said I want to respect the will of the players."

img-219.jpeg

IRAOLA OUT TO WING IT BOTH WAYS

BY PAUL GORST

ANDONI IRAOLA says any winger Liverpool sign this summer must have the ability to play off both flanks.

The Reds beat Wrexham at New York's Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night thanks to a second-half strike from Rio Ngumoha (above), who caught the eye in an unfamiliar role out on the right wing.

Liverpool are looking to begin talks with Paris St-Germain over Bradley Barcola (below), who is rated at £145m by the European champions.

And while the Reds will look to negotiate a lower fee for the France international, he primarily operates off the left.

But Iraola has challenged all his wide players to become versatile and make the side more unpredictable this coming campaign.

"I think it is a great skill to have because in the end you become less predictable," Iraola said at a press conference in Chicago.

"And I think I know most of them have

one preferred side, but maybe you are only going to play there 70 per cent of the time.

"We need you somewhere on the side for some games because we want to exploit one concrete match-up. Or we see there can be a weakness on the side tactically, something we can see that we have a chance.

"To be able to play both sides, it becomes better for you because you can have more minutes and it's also better for us because we can use the squad better.

"We normally aren't symmetric as a team. So sometimes one of the wingers will have to do more defensive work or has to play higher or more inside or outside.

"So if you can give me the option to put you both sides, it is selfishly for you to get minutes. Now in pre-season, I have to see where they are more comfortable.

"But in my previous clubs most of the wingers have played both sides and even during games, we have changed sometimes the sides of the wingers. I would like it now if we could have this versatility, for me that would be a big help."

Can Jaissle really take it further?

BY LEE RYDER

GERMAN boss Matthias Jaissle does not even have his feet under the table at Newcastle United - but already has a hard act to follow.

Replacing a hugely popular public figure in Eddie Howe, who brought the pride back to the city, will be tough, especially given the 48-year-old's name was STILL chanted while Newcastle were 4-1 down at Bristol City in a final fling friendly.

Defeats to Sunderland didn't help Howe's cause but fans continued to back the man who ended the trophy drought in 2025 by delivering the first piece of silverware since 1969.

In lifting the Carabao Cup in 2025 (above), beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley, Howe brought people to tears.

But even before then, his framed picture took pride of Noon in a butcher's shop in

North Shields

img-223.jpeg

alongside Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan.

Having kept the Magpies up in 2022, led them to

the Champions

League and won the cup, he could have quit there and then.

The fact that news of Howe's departure was met with sorrow not joy down the banks of the Tyne, should say it all.

He leaves with a solid record of 812 wins from 231 games, 48 draws and just 78 defeats, with sparkling nights like the 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain, the Geordie invasion to the San Siro to face AC Milan and trips to Dortmund, Leverkusen, Baku, Barcelona and Brussels along the way.

Those close to Howe say he'd come to the conclusion he'd taken the Magpies as far as he could.

Jaissle (inset) will arrive with a couple of title wins in Austria with Red Bull Salzburg, a Saudi Super Cup with Al-Ahli and two AFC Champions Leagues.

At 38, he is a proven winner, but very much unproven in the Premier League.

The hard work starts now. But some may argue he may be on a hiding to nothing given Howe's rich success story.

WHY EDDIE WAS FIRE FOR SIX

Key factors in Howe's departure and why it went sour after he delivered a trophy

BY LEE RYDER

NEWCASTLE insiders have pointed to "the rigours" of the top job at St James' Park as a major factor in Eddie Howe's decision to quit as head coach.

The last six months of his tenure at Newcastle were beginning to feel like death by a thousand cuts as he went from Carabao Cup-winning manager to suffering derby-day boos.

Howe's job of trying to show the strength to hold up a project that was becoming a heavier burden by the week had essentially been kick-started 12 months ago during pre-season.

It was then that his triumphant cup-winning team began to fall apart, and the exit of Alexander Isak should not be underestimated.

Here are the six steps that led to Howe's exit.

ALEXANDER ISAK GOING ON STRIKE Howe felt let down by the Sweden international (right) after he refused to board a plane to the Far East for pre-season to force a £125million move to Liverpool.

I know he was upset by Isak's behaviour and the timing of it because he told me so in South Korea, down a dimly lit corridor at the Seoul Olympic Stadium after a friendly with Tottenham.

Isak's decision to go left Newcastle ill-prepared for the transfer window, and

the £240m spent on the likes of Nick Woltemade, Malick Thiaw, Jacob Ramsey and Yoane Wissa did not pay off.

The quartet's failure to gel with the players already on board damaged Newcastle and seeped into the 2025/26 season, a series of spluttering draws in the first few games against Aston Villa, newly-promoted Leeds and Bournemouth setting the tone.

LOSING TO SUNDERLAND - TWICE

Derby defeats always spell trouble for somebody, and it would prove to be the case for Howe as some fans lost faith in their gaffer after two defeats in the Tyne-Wear tussle.

Howe had told me to "put a pin" in talk that his players would be shattered after their Champions League draw

against Bayer Leverkusen. But Newcastle looked flat during the 1-0 loss to the Wearsiders in December.

And losing in the last minute for a second time in the same season to a

late Brian Brobbey goal at St James' Park was deemed criminal in the eyes of some supporters, who jeered Howe and his players

off the field. Howe was forced to cut short a lap of appreciation.

THE BURNLEY ONSLAUGHT - AS CRACKS BEGAN TO SHOW

Howe's usually calm demeanour slipped after a 3-1 win over Burnley when the unconvincing display still attracted criticism from some fans.

After suffering a loss of momentum at Turf Moor against the Premier League strugglers, it was put to Howe that he did not have a Plan B and that his team had suffered an onslaught.

Howe hit back, saying: "An onslaught? Against us? Have you seen the stats on the game? You must have watched a different game then. There was no onslaught.

"Yes, we had moments (offensively), but we had moments the other way. I'd never describe it as that. If it were an onslaught, I'd give you my opinion and say it was."

A LOSS OF CONTROL ON TRANSFERS

Much has been made of the dynamics between head of recruitment Steve Nickson and senior football executive Andy Howe (Eddie Howe's nephew), with some claims that soon-to-be Wrexham transfer chief Nickson had been sidelined.

This was strongly denied, but Nickson's exit feels telling with Andy Howe's transfer acumen up for debate

by some sections of the fanbase. The arrival of sporting director Ross Wilson

(left) was always going to give Eddie Howe less say in trans-

fers, but after the 4-1 loss to Bristol City, when asked about new signings, he said: "I'm not on top of that, unfortunately. So that'll be for someone else."

DOUBLE EXIT BLOW AND NEW POLICY

After essentially being the de facto transfer chief last summer and green-lighting moves for Wissa, Woltemade and Thiaw, Howe's 2026 summer window started with the exit of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona for £693m. Howe did not want to sell but reluctantly agreed to it, and

img-224.jpeg

img-225.jpeg


FOOTBALL: PREMIER LEAGUE

Daily Express Friday, July 31, 2026

59

img-226.jpeg

admitted he was happy to go along with signing younger players. A few weeks later the £100m sale of Sandro Tonali (below, with Guimares) sparked another major exit with the arrivals of youngsters such as Sean Steur, Aladji Bamba, Ewen Jaouen and Bazoumana Toure marking a new phase of recruitment.

Howe said he was open to the policy but it's hard to say whether he would have been able to lead United to a top-six place with so many big names gone.

THE BRUNO GUIMARAES AFFAIR

And so, to what many observers seem to be suggesting was the straw that

broke the camel's back, or are they just clutching at straws?

Our information is that Howe thought about quitting over the summer but vowed to continue before

changing his mind. However, the Bruno saga can't have helped in the last few weeks of Howe's tenure, with Arsenal making it clear they want to sign him, albeit at a lower price than Newcastle value him at.

Howe spent the last press conference of his career facing questions on exactly how he will go about retaining the Brazil international but said "forces were at play" and he had no control.

img-227.jpeg

COMMENT

BY ANDY QUAIN

IN late March, David Hopkinson, chief executive of Newcastle United, was asked about Eddie Howe's future.

"I don't have a stance on his future," replied Hopkinson (above). "I expect to have a great run to the end of the season and we'll talk about the future when it is time."

It is a wonder Howe did not walk out of St James' Park there and then.

What Hopkinson should have said is that the club has a manager who has taken them from the lower reaches of the Premier League to Two Champions League campaigns and has helped them to a first domestic trophy in 70 years.

He should have said Howe, over a period of four and a half years, has brilliantly managed a club that is notoriously difficult to manage, and that they would be doing all they can to make sure he was happy to lead them for many seasons to come.

Instead, he did not have a stance on his

Chief missed his chance to show support

future'. Howe had given life and soul to re-energising a great institution and that was his thanks.

That was an ill-advised interview from Hopkinson. He might claim to have just chosen the wrong words.

But more significantly, Howe was let down by actions, as well as words.

The club had little choice but to take Liverpool's £125million for Alexander Isak and in Anthony Gordon's case, it is hard to stop a player going to Barcelona.

You can even make a compelling argument that £100m for Sandro Tonali was too good an offer to turn down.

But by the looks of it, they are about to sell Bruno Guimaraes, their talisman. That was probably the final straw for Howe.

The executives and owners will argue that it is hard to keep players who want to leave and that they have to trade - buy AND sell - to comply with the Premier League's financial regulations.

Fair enough. But it is the job of the executives and the owners to make

sure the marquee players do not want to leave. When they want to leave in numbers, the executives and owners are not doing something right.

Which is why, in a way, Howe's tenure might have come to a natural end, and the suggestions are that his departure has been amicable.

He is such a respectful character that Howe - who is likely to be succeeded by Al-Ahli's 38-year-old German manager, Matthias Jaissie - is not likely to say anything different when he does talk about leaving a job he clearly loved for a long time.

And some fans might point to a turbulent season that saw Newcastle finish 12th in the league as evidence that his time on Tyneside was coming to an end.

When you look beyond the fact that Jaissie is coming from the Saudi Pro League, it will be an intriguing appointment if it happens.

But you can't help feeling Howe could have created a dynasty in Newcastle and that it is a shame it is over.

THE BEARER'S WORRIES

FROM BACK PAGE

on? We're selling all our best players?"

The players found out about Howe's departure on their day off as they flew out to La Manga for their pre-season training camp without their Carabao Cup- winning boss. But it is understood that Newcastle's power brokers

have known Howe wanted to leave for two weeks, and have had a contingency plan in place, with Jaissie (left) their No.1 target.

The former RB Salzburg boss will have his work cut out if he is to get Newcastle set up for a more impressive campaign than the 12th-placed finish they managed last season.

And Shearer had this warning for Jaissie, telling Betfair: "The fans are seeing Isak go, the fans

are seeing Tonali go, the fans are seeing Gordon go.

"My guess is it's only a matter of time before Bruno goes, because he'll look at what's happening with all those players and look at what's happening with Eddie and think, 'Well, from a personal point of view, from his point of view, I guess I'm next'."

"It's certainly not a good look, and they'll have to navigate some tough days coming their way now, because it's the unknown.

"I mean, if Jaissie does come in, you're then asking a 38-year-old to come in and navigate very, very tricky waters.

"The Premier League is a beast of a league.

"It's a big ask for anyone to come in and take over after what Eddie's done."

£45m Rod would be Real steal

FROM BACK PAGE

boss Enzo Maresca (above) has not given up on persuading Rodri that his future remains in the blue half of Manchester and are hopeful the 32-year-old will sign a new deal.

And if Real are serious, then they will have to get realistic about the fee, despite the fact he could sign a pre-contract agreement with them in January and move on a free next summer.

City, meanwhile, are pushing ahead with a deal for Lille star Ayyoub Bouaddi as they look to add to their midfield following the recruitment of Elliot Anderson in a £16m deal with Nottingham Forest.

Bouaddi, 18, lit up the World Cup with his displays for Morocco with his power, passing and close control.

Lille are looking for a bid of £85m for the teen, who was recommended by City scouts before the World Cup. Personal terms will not be an issue, but reports in France claim Lille would prefer City to loan him back for the season. However, a straight deal looks likely with Rodri an uncertainty.

England defender John Stones has joined Inter Milan on a free after leaving City.

FA stiffens ban threat

FA CHIEFS have beefed up their rules to leave players who are found guilty of discrimination facing a ban of at least 10 games.

This is an increase on the existing recommendation of between six and 12.

The list of offences includes an express or implied reference to ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, religion, sex, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation or disability.

The rules also apply to managers and officials. The FA warned: "The FA is committed to delivering a game free from discrimination. Significant progress has been made, but discriminatory conduct continues to be a challenge across the game."

BY CONNOR O'NEILL and LEE HYDER

NEWCASTLE legend Alan Shearer fears for the future of his beloved club following Eddie Howe's decision to walk away.

Howe (above) has called time on his near five-year spell at St James' Park just 24 days before their Premier League opener at home to Liverpool.

The Toon are set to appoint Matthias Jaissie, currently the boss of Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, as his replacement.

Shearer is stunned by the timing of Howe's departure.

He said: "I'm very, very surprised with the news that Eddie is leaving. It's strange timing with three weeks to go until the new season kicks off.

"I don't think it's a great look for what's happening at the minute. It's like, 'What's going

England go for new Kiwi in Fleming

with Root as captain, but legend

Vaughan asks: Why is new

coach not starting now?

BY JOSHUA PECK

STEPHEN FLEMING insisted there is plenty of talent in the England squad after being confirmed as the new Test coach.

Joe Root also returns as captain following Ben Stokes' decision to retire from internationals.

Fleming, 53, replaces fellow Kiwi Brendon McCullum with England having not won a multi-match Test series since December 2024.

Fleming said: "There is a lot of young talent in and around the team. Our aim is to help them fulfil their world-class potential."

Fleming will miss the series against Pakistan with Marcus Trescothick the interim head coach, and that surprises Michael Vaughan.

The ex-England captain says Fleming should start now: "It means he will have coached us for just one home Test before The Ashes."

GOODWOOD 2026 DAY 4 THE SCOUT'S TOP TV TIPS

First reserve Imaan scores Magnolia glory

IMAAN RASIK-HEALER capped a whitehead week when coming home victorious in the Narkel Magnolia Cup at Goodwood yesterday.

The 26-year-old, who works for Kevin Philippart De Foy in Newmarket and has a master's degree in equine performance, was the first reserve for the contest after a series of unfortunate events meant she had to miss the final fitness test prior to selection for the race.

However, her luck would turn when the Press Association's Molly Hunter had her own illness woes, allowing Rasik-Healer to take the mount aboard Scott Dixon's Grey Horizon - racing in the Magnolia Cup under the name Khor Al Adaid - who came home handsomely for a

clear-cut triumph. Rasik-Healer, below, who becomes the second Muslim to win the race after Khadijah Mediah in 2019, said: "I have got no words, what a feeling and I didn't think I was going to win but this is amazing.

"I only got on him for the first time last Friday and I thought yes, this horse is kind of cool and thank you to Scott for letting me ride him.

"Thank's also the team at Amo. I didn't have any boots until one of the jockeys lent me some on Saturday and they sorted me a smaller cut as well. "We have all done this for the most amazing reason and it's a charity race, it's meant to be fun and enjoyable and raise plenty of money."

TALL points to NIGHT

RAIDER (3.35) over

Goodwood's flying five furlongs in the Group Two King George Qatar Stakes.

Karl Burke's lightning-quick trainee used to be a little less tractable, which cost him at the business end of top-flight races at sprint distances.

However, he has really thrived this summer after a gelding procedure, making all in a Palace House Stakes field which included Rumstar (second), Jim Jungle (fourth) and Asfoora (tenth) at Newmarket in May.

Night Raider took the rest out of their comfort zone there and then highlighted his tactical versatility from a midfield position when thrusting past the leaders in Haydock's Group Two Temple Stakes.

My selection was only sixth on the Downs last year but that was an unconventional renewal on rain-softened turf and he won his race on the near side, where there was a smaller group of competitors.

Back on livelier soil, Night Raider is drawn to attack from stall 13 and could be hard to peg back carrying a 3lb penalty for his second-tier first, with Jakajaro and Aspect Island the most compelling from a place perspective.

1 NIGHT RAIDER

Gelding operation helped him convert natural talent at Group Three and Two level. Ahead of several of these in the Palace House at Newmarket in May and fancied to bounce back from Ascot defeat under James Doyle at a course that suits.

2 AMERICAN AFFAIR

Group One-winning sprinter of 2025. Solid effort behind Night Raider in the Temple Stakes but operating a little below his best and does not look quite as fast as he once was.

3 JAKAJARO

Better than ever this year. Loves to bowl along and twice proved a handicap snip from marks in the 90s at the beginning of the turf season. Upped his form to Group level with three typically bold efforts

RAID PARTY: Night Raider has plenty of speed

img-262.jpeg

and has improved significantly since running twice at this fixture last summer. Top three contender.

4 JM JUNGLE

Last year's hero drawn next to Night Raider. Ground a touch lively for him due to the hot spell. Going OK at present.

5 LAMBORGHINI BF

Trained in Sweden, with sprints on turf and dirt surfaces to his name. Bit of a task on with a rating of 106 but respected given he has made the journey over in an open division.

6 PARTISAN HERO

Thrived for a winter in Bahrain

to progress from handicaps and go fairly close in the Coral Charge at Sandown. Acted fine on the good to firm ground in the Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh and should give his running outside of the places.

7 RUMSTAR

Seven times a winner and the star of Jonathan Portman's yard. Improved 20lb since racing to first in a nursery at this fixture four years ago and confidence high after the Coral Charge. Sets out to try and gain his revenge on Night Raider from Newmarket.

8 ASFOORA

Group One Nunthorpe and

Prix de l'Abbaye heroine in a brilliant campaign at six. Kept in training and fancied to go out on a high at Sandown earlier this month, in the race won by Rumstar. Chance scuppered when striking her head on the stalls. Comes here for one final throw of the dice.

9 AZURE ANGEL

Blinkers have drawn out a little more from this northern-trained mare, who is on a career-high mark. No course experience a negative.

10 TIME FOR SANDALS

Beaten less than a length under a penalty last year after her best performance in the 2025

TOP SECRET'S FROM THE TRADING ROOM

img-264.jpeg

Leo Phelps,

spokesperson for William Hill, says...

PLHTY more favourites and by yesterday making it another difficult day in the office.

We're more hopeful today, with some decent fields and competitive action.

The feature is the Group Two King George Stakes (3.35), when NIGHT RAIDER (7-2) broke the

market from RUMSTAR (9-2), while I don't have such way support for SPICY MARG (12-1 from 14-1).

The card opens with a marathon two-and-a-half-mile handicap (1.50). Despite not being proven over this trip,

VALIANCY (3-1 from 14-1) only has been well backed to land the spoils. ALPHONSE LE

GRANDE (6-1 from 11-1)

is another on the move for shrewd handler Tony Martin.

TALK OF NEW YORK is a mild 4-7 favourite for the Group Three Thoroughbred Stakes (2.25), but the money is coming against the Goldiljehn horse for SABER STRIKE (5-1 from 12-2) and looks likely to appreciate this star up in trip.

Commonwealth Cup. Has lacked something at the finish so far this season.

11 ASPECT ISLAND

Highly-tried by in-form handler James Owen, tackling both the King Charles III Stakes and Commonwealth Cup with a couple of days of recovery time. A hardy sort competing in cheekpieces. Best at easy tracks

12 BRUSSELS

Led on the first two starts of his three-year-old season, with nothing extra to offer in the closing stages. Fifth in the Sapphire Stakes a step in the right direction and chance

13 DICKENSIAN

Solid yet unspectacular type who needs to pull out considerably more.

14 ARGENTINE TANGO

Back to form on softer terrain in the Listed Land O'Burns Fillies'

Stakes at Ayr. Honest type with ground to make up on Night Raider. Course contours won't be an issue.

15 SPICY MARG

Belied odds of 50-1 to claim the runner-up spot in the Commonwealth Cup. A threat if returning to that from a useful draw.

is always one of the most competitive handicaps of the season.

Trained David Mcmaisier won this race five years ago and his TRIBAL CHIEF, who finished sixth last year, has shortened into 6-1 from 17-2 to go a few places better this time around.

Easy as eye on the Ian Williams-trained OZAT (25-1 from 48-1) who has the red-hot Billy

Loughnane aboard and has seen money at big prices.

CALEN (10-3 from 4-1) and CROWN OF OAKS (9-1 from 11-1) are two that have been backed in the 10-furlong conditions race (4.10).

Favourite DUBAI CHAMPION (10-3 from 11-2) and INNICHEN (5-1 from 6-1) dominate the betting for the two-year-old

nursery handicap (4.40).

William Haggis' PIERIAN (11-2 from 6-1) has been lobbied in the market for the penultimate handicap (5.20), while Ryan Mook's Prizes of

ROOM FOURTEEN (2-1 from 3-1) is all the rage in the closing fifties' handicap (2.25).

ADVERTORIAL

img-266.jpeg

Martin has a Grande scheme

By The Scout

(Melissa Jones)

ALPHONSE LE GRANDE (1.50) is

fancied to use his staying power to reign victorious in the 2m 4th! Coral Goodwood Handicap.

Tony Martin's charge is back down to 87, the mark he took the equally stamina-sapping Cesarewitch off in October 2024.

From his current position in the handicap he showed considerably more than in recent months when closing up for fifth behind the reopposing

Bellovitandocan in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle in June.

Over just half-a-furlong less than today's distance, Alphonse Le Grande was beaten just three lengths after meeting traffic in the 2025 Ascot Stakes at the royal fixture.

Since then he has run at seven different circuits and he can go in at number eight with Cesarewitch-winning rider Jamie Powell guiding him home.

With Saber Strike not showing his zip from the gallops on the track at present, TALK OF NEW YORK (2.25) is the clear choice in the Group Three HKJC World Pool Thoroughbred Stakes.

This is a sizeable drop in class compared to when he had top three-year-olds Bow Echo and Gstaad ahead of him in the St James's Palace Stakes.

Described as a work in progress by Charlie Appleby a fair few weeks prior, the honourable effort at the sport's summer extravaganza in

img-267.jpeg

his customary hood followed a five-and-a-half length humbling of rivals in the Listed Heron Stakes at Sandown Park.

And it will be disappointing if he cannot take racing's version of a penalty kick, as he is upwards of 7th clear on official figures.

Tribal Chief's luck will change in a big handicap sooner rather than later and he should be on every shortlist for the Coral Golden Mile, which looks as competitive as ever with 22 runners.

The likeably consistent Indalo and Scoville, four places behind Roger Varian's former ante-post favourite in the Royal Hunt Cup, are others in the melting pot.

However, this could be BLUE BROTHER's (3.06) day, on the back of a fourth of 28 in the Buckingham Palace Stakes

when he was well-fancied. James Doyle went for home when the leader River King shifted off the stands side rail and running for the first time in a year, he found race-fit rivals too strong when the prizes were divided.

It also marked a belated return to seven furlongs, so there are grounds for believing he can improve and a draw in the single figures, where 12 of the last 20 winners have come from, ticks another important box.

The Regent Seven Seas Cruises Bentinck Conditions Stakes is a real headscratcher and it will depend on which horse wants it most.

JONQUIL (4.10) is one of the most talented of the nine in contention, is a course winner in stronger company and has been reliable in the past when his sights have been lowered.

THANK O'REVER expects to have another of these of knowing the tables on how Echo later in the revenue after Gstaad had to settle for second yet beach in the Groove Stakes at Goodwood on September 15.

The history between the two coils currently blends a 2-2 to 4-5 away. Headway's unbeaten son of Roger, Dr. Thomas. But he soon later respondent, the Hollywood hustler is looking forward to returning to the show board to see if there are any funnels that can pass the a table in the Box Echo armway next time. He'd is always happy to finish second because the always want to run control the best house and maybe they will meet us if there is any Gstaad. "Our horse can a shower in the way we hope to stay with us and I think our horse is aggressive." The data edition of the New Echo and Gstaad says could be found a famous car. O'Rrien is confident his journey but the capacity of making his work.

THE HUSCLET

Diamond Necklace stamps

herself as the leading filly

DIAMOND NECKLACE

sparkled in the sunshine to maintain a flawless look in the £600,000 Group One Qatar Nassau Stakes.

Despite sitting pretty with an unbeaten record in five races, some feared the half-sister to Aidan O'Brien's division winners Magic Wand and Chicquita would come unstuck against her elders.

However, the same stable's Moments Of Joy was quickest to hit her stride and ruled out one threat, a muddling gallop from the ten furlong start.

Friendly Soul loomed up on her shoulder approaching the home straight cutaway under William Buick, but Ryan Moore was right in his slipstream on the 4-6 favourite.

And an equine game of cat and mouse on the camber, which saw the leader go around a length up, was swiftly ended when Diamond Necklace pounced.

Extending right away by two-and-three-quarter lengths with 9lb less on her back, there was a further five

"That's the best she's felt," said Moore, completing a race hat-trick for himself and Diamond Necklace's elite record, after the Prix Marcel Bouscac, 1,000 Guineas and Oaks in France. "She just feels

like a proper racing machine now – travelling, quickening and does what she has to.

"Ten (furlongs) is probably her optimum but with those classy horses, she does everything right so there's a chance she'd stay further."

Most firms cut Diamond Necklace to 8-1 for another adventure on the continent in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Paris Longchamp on October 5.

She is the same price as O'Brien's top three-year-old colt Constitution River and O'Brien will see how the land lies before making any firm commitments to the end-of-season

spectacle. The next run will tell us where she is going to go," he added. "Diamond Necklace is very high quality.

"Constitution River will get all the options too."

Moore had a much harder task on fellow Ballydoyle raider Man's Best Friend (11-2), making split-second decisions to extricate himself and find the golden highway in the Group Two Markel Richmond Stakes.

The trip across the Irish Sea came just eight days after the juvenile had opened his account in an 18-runner Naas maiden.

"He is a baby of a horse," said O'Brien.

"We thought bringing him here today was going to do him good – win, lose or draw.

"Ryan said he had nowhere to go through the whole race, but he liked him."

GROWOD 2026 DAY 4

LATE: ALL EDDY!

Dylan's mount looks set for St Leger after easy win

img-276.jpeg

By Melissa Jones

INCELADUS had favourite backers licking their lips as he settled matters quickly in the Maison Perrier Gordon Stakes.

Well-backed at 6-4 on the run up to the Group Three over Lord, Dylan Browne McMonagle was happy to take a lead on the Sea The Stars colt, rising in class.

Shaken up and pulled out to challenge near the two-furlong pole, McMonagle's mount powered into the lead, getting first run on fellow Irish raider Geryon.

And despite leaning right-handed on the rolling descent, Enceladus was firmly in control, as William Hill quoted odds of 14-1 to master another two furlongs for the Betfred St Leger at Doncaster on September 12. "I am sure the

distance will be no problem for him, he is not short of gears either," said McMonagle, whose boss Joseph O'Brien rode Leading Light to victory on Town Moor in 2013 for his father Aidan before successfully saddling Galileo Chrome seven years later.

"He is getting better and sharpening up with experience. He is still a big baby – I think he is going to

be a very nice horse going forward."

Out of control before the start of the Coral Kincsem Heritage Handicap, quirky youngster Ciarrai Abu channelled his energy in the right direction when it came to the crunch.

Owned by the team behind Harry Eustace's best horse Docklands, the runaway had one go at chuckey jockey

George Wood off as he exited the pre-race parade.

Wood held tight but had no chance when, cantering steadily to post and seemingly calmed, Ciarrai Abu took a dislike to something and misbehaved again.

The pair were cleared fit to compete and bar a little wander in the closing stages, the performance was fairly smooth as the 100-30 chance

saw off the fast-finishing Bourbon Blues (25-1) and setter of steady fractions Evanesco (11-1).

"He is not the most straightforward," said Wood, handed a three-day ban for careless riding for letting his horse drift left-handed without sufficient correction.

"But he has got an engine. Fair play to Harry (Eustace) for dealing with him every day."

GEORGE BOUGHEY on his picks for this afternoon

CONSISTENT CASTLE WILL KEEP LONG

WE head into Day Four of the Datin Goodwood Festival with a couple of decent chances across the card.

WATERFORD CASTLE (5.20) has been a model of consistency without quite managing to get his head in front for us.

Goodwood's undertaking calls and three furloops, combined with first-time blinders, could bring out the best in him

His work at home has always been above average and he just needs things to fail his way. It's

also a big day for his owners, who are local to the track, so it made plenty of sense to target this race.

LADY DORA MAE (5.55) arrives here in great shape and has already shown she handles the track, having finished second in a Listed race over this course and distance.

She has well last time but had probably been turned out a little quickly and, in handheld, was ridden further back than ideal.

She's freshened up since and I think she heads into today with a

very good chance. In the King George, I think the fast downhill five-furlongs could suit SPICY MARG (3.35).

Some horses don't perform at York and her second in the Group One at Royal Ascot on her prosthesis start made well.

She has won over course and distance here before and I think she holds good each-way claims in what looks a slightly weak renewal.

PDF 翻译质量审计报告

总体评价

本次翻译在新闻正文部分表现较好,但在电视/广播节目单(TV Guide)部分出现了严重的幻觉、误译和格式崩溃。文档末尾的重复数据处理极差。

关键缺陷

1. 严重幻觉与误译 (Hallucinations & Mistranslations)

  • 节目名称随意翻译:在 TV Guide 部分,大量专有名词被错误翻译或随机生成。
    • 例 1Only Fools and Horses (经典英剧) 被翻译为 憨豆骑手
    • 例 2The Archers (经典广播剧) 被翻译为 拱手之劳
    • 例 3laura.zilincanova@reacbplc.com 邮箱地址被保留,但在周围语境中缺乏对记者身份的精确处理。
  • 语义错误
    • Slumdogs array of midwesty (原文疑似 OCR 错误) 被翻译为 一系列具有中西部风格的装扮,翻译在试图通过猜测弥补源文错误,但并不准确。
    • Screentelot (原文 OCR 错误 $\rightarrow$ likely Screenloot or similar) 被直接音译。

2. 关键数字与事实错误 (Wrong Numbers & Facts)

  • 体育数据误读:在电视节目单中,大量的时间点和数字被错误处理,部分数字与原文不符。
  • 日期/年份:虽然 2026 年得到了保留,但部分节目描述中的年份(如 2027 年)在翻译中缺乏一致性核查。

3. 残留英文与格式问题 (Residual English & Formatting)

  • 残留英文:大量节目单标题(如 Skoo, Fill, Mutdown, G.W.A.T)未翻译且未校对。
  • 标签缺陷:译文中出现了 # Daily Express - 31.07.2026.pdf 这种文件路径/清理标签,属于交付缺陷。
  • 重复块处理:文档末尾的大量重复数字(2.45 4TH (5)...)在译文中部分被翻译为“第4场”,但依然保留了海量的重复行,未能识别出这是 OCR 冗余。

4. 完整性与截断 (Completeness & Truncation)

  • 部分截断:在 Screentelot 之后的部分内容及其它列表项存在不完整的句子。
  • 翻译不均:正文(养老住宅、世界杯)翻译质量较高,但表格/列表类内容的翻译质量断崖式下跌。

审计结论

Blocking Issue Found. 该翻译件在电视指南部分的幻觉严重,且包含明显的清理标签,不能直接交付。建议对所有节目单名称进行重新校对,并删除末尾的 OCR 冗余重复数据。
