普里蒂·帕特尔女爵士猛烈抨击两名杀害安德鲁·哈珀警员的凶手获释的计划
提前释放
是对英雄
警员的
“背叛”
作者：理查德·阿什莫尔 (RICHARD ASHMORE)
由于两名杀害英雄警员安德鲁·哈珀的凶手即将提前出狱，首相安迪·伯纳姆被指责背叛了安德鲁·哈珀的家人。
伯纳姆先生在唐宁街10号工作两周后，于周一飞往度假地，他正面临着关于工党提前释放计划的日益增长的压力。
安德鲁·哈珀所属的泰晤士河谷警察局的局长和警察联合会都可能对部长们采取法律行动。
前内政大臣普里蒂·帕特尔女爵士曾与他的遗孀利西合作，为杀害999紧急呼叫工作人员的凶手引入强制终身监禁，她表示：“首相背叛了安德鲁·哈珀警员的家人”

“危机时刻的玩忽职守”
帕克姆与波兰斯基痛批度假中的首相
作者：大卫·威廉姆森 (DAVID WILLIAMSON) 首席政治评论员
安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 被指责为“令人震惊的玩忽职守”，其政府在应对英国酷暑高温时的反应也遭到猛烈抨击。
广播员克里斯·帕克姆 (Chris Packham) 和绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基 (Zack Polanski) 昨天都对正在度假的伯纳姆先生发起了尖锐的攻击。
《春季观察》(Springwatch) 主持人帕克姆先生警告称，随着极端高温席卷欧洲大陆，欧洲可能有 50,000 人面临死亡风险。
他表示，如果这样的死亡人数是由“恐怖主义或大流行病”造成的，政府早就会“取消夏季假期”，召开紧急 Cobra 会议，并开展类似新冠时期的信息宣传活动。
帕克姆先生在威斯敏斯特举行的一次绿党新闻发布会上发表了上述言论，波兰斯基先生在会上警告称，由于土壤已被“烤干”，降雨可能会导致洪水。
这位绿党领袖指责“政府最高层”几乎“毫无发声”，并声称这场“危机”正在“使生命和生计陷入危险”。
波兰斯基先生补充说，未能采取行动可能会导致“难以想象的严重”后果。
他说：“破坏的规模之大令人难以想象，但我们需要正视它，因为如果我们现在不采取行动，这仅仅是未来将要发生的事情的一个预演。”两人对政府的攻击揭示了英国左翼在英国能源政策未来问题上的分裂程度。
唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 总统声称，伯纳姆先生告诉他，他“将重新开发北海石油”。首相仅表示他将对该问题采取“务实的方法”。
帕克姆先生在谴责“极端危机时刻的完全玩忽职守”时表示，“谈论钻探石油”简直是“疯狂”。他警告说：
“我们需要安迪·伯纳姆在我们的家园被烧毁之前采取行动。”
波兰斯基先生也向伯纳姆先生施压，要求其不允许在北海进行新的钻探，包括在 Rosebank 和 Jackdaw 油田。
这位绿党领袖表示，他对约翰·希利 (John Healey) 被任命为财政大臣感到“担忧”，希利此前因抗议武装部队资金不足而辞去国防大臣一职；波兰斯基称“气候和自然危机”同样是安全和国防问题。
指控
“成为该大学历史上最年轻的黑人教授，是我在童年时期——当时被诊断出患有自闭症，直到 11 岁才学会说话——几乎无法想象的事情。”
此前，该大学发表声明宣布，在获得“新信息”后，已开始对 Arday 教授展开调查。
声明称，调查将审查他的“学术资格和荣誉任命”。此前有报道指称他剽窃了其博士论文及其他研究成果。
耶稣学院昨日表示，该学院正在启动自己的处理程序。
在接受《泰晤士报》采访时，Arday 教授否认了这些指控并表示：“将我塑造成这种骗子和幻想家的做法是完全不可接受的。”
移民穿越英吉利海峡“手册”
李·安德森痛批旨在协助寻求庇护申请的指导视频
移民们正被分发关于如何乘坐充气艇穿越英吉利海峡并在英国申请庇护的指导手册。
这些可用 16 种语言（包括阿拉伯语、普什图语和波斯语）提供的传单警告寻求庇护者避开大风天气、躲避船只并留在船内。
英国改革党主席李·安德森在收到阿拉伯语版本后愤怒地反应道，并补充说，如果一名移民想要“完成这段穿越欧洲前往英国的危险旅程，这就是你所需的一切！”
一个二维码引导人们观看指导如何申请庇护的视频，同时提供最新的天气状况以及如何向救援人员发送 GPS 坐标的详细信息。
这段可用九种语言观看的卡通风格视频详细介绍了移民可以利用的潜在漏洞，包括扩大对“迫害”的解释，并补充说“证据”就是他们的“故事”。
文中写道：“在许多情况下，决策者并不相信
作者：MICHAEL KNOWLES 内政编辑
你讲述的故事。你需要思考还能获得什么样的其他证据，来证明你所说的事情是真的，以及你认为可能会发生在你身上的事情是可能的。
“是否有你遭遇这些事情的证人？你是否有证明你故事中任何部分的证明文件？这些可能包括医疗记录、逮捕令、法院文件，以及证明你处于危险之中的朋友或组织的信函。”
这些传单提供阿拉伯语、普什图语、达里语、波斯语、印地语、索马里语和库尔德语索拉尼语版本。
安德森先生在访问法国格朗德-辛特（Grande-Synthe）的一个移民营地期间收到了这份文件，他愤怒地表示：“我认为警察也对此同谋，而对我来说，非政府组织是问题中最大的部分，他们简直是在鼓励人们建立这个营地。
“他们给了他们希望——希望他们能在英国过上更好的生活，而遗憾的是，这导致了英吉利海峡中许多生命的丧失。这种贸易将继续，我们将继续迎来我们不想要的移民进入我们的国家。
“其中有些人犯下了各种可怕的罪行。”
昨日上午，当数十辆警车进入现场时，防暴警察阻止了安德森先生以及记者访问格朗德-辛特的移民营地。
压力
全副武装的警员要求出示身份证件——同时回避关于数百名居住在帐篷和临时住所中的移民的问题。
安德森先生表示：“营地里肯定到处都是罪犯，但我们是两天前合法入境这个国家的人——而被当作罪犯对待的是我们。”
在向《每日快报》描述混乱局面时，他说道：“他们允许移民在这里露营，然后立刻再次要求我们出示身份证件。我很肯定他们并不会要求检查那些非法移民的身份证件。我们向他们支付了那么多钱，他们却把我们当成非法入侵者。”
位于格朗德-圣（Grande-Synthe）的营地以前仅限于非常小的区域。但现在它沿一条主路延伸 350 米，一直深入树林。
与此同时，法国警方面临的压力日益增大，要求其阻止英吉利海峡移民进入水域。
巴黎也面临要求接受更多被遣返人员的压力。
周二，在迪耶普（Dieppe）附近发射的一艘史上最大型充气艇后，约 173 人获救并被送回法国。
现场发生火灾，引发恐慌，人们跳入水中逃离火焰。一名埃及人于周二晚上被捕，他被指控向寻求庇护者每人收取 1,000 英镑以登上这艘超大船只。
调查人员透露：“船上共有 50 名妇女和儿童，他们全部拒绝了紧急安置。”

改革党计划将雇佣非法工人的老板投入监狱
根据改革党的新计划，如果公司雇佣非法移民，将被处以其全球营收 10% 的罚款。
鉴于人们日益关注英吉利海峡移民在英国蓬勃发展的黑市经济中工作，在新法律下，老板们也将被投入监狱。
即使他们不知道员工没有在此工作的权利，也将被追究“刑事责任”。
根据齐亚·尤苏夫（Zia Yusuf）的计划，对于一些巨型食品配送公司，10% 的罚款将高达数百万英镑。
《每日快报》此前披露了寻求庇护者如何将纳税人出资的酒店作为基地，同时为食品配送公司工作。
有些人甚至被发现将自己的账户出租给其他非法移民。
在工党的计划中，董事每雇佣一名被发现的非法工人，面临最高 60,000 英镑的罚款。惯犯最高面临 5 年监禁。
但改革英国党（Reform UK）内政发言人尤苏夫先生表示：“保守党和工党使英国成为了全球非法移民低价竞争英国工人的最宽松国家。在改革党政府的领导下，英国将对雇佣非法移民采取全球最严厉的处罚。”
“雇佣非法移民的公司老板将被送往监狱，其公司将被处以全球营收 10% 的罚款。”
“有些公司的整个商业模式就是基于从非法劳工中获利。”
“这是对公众的扇耳光。它嘲弄了我们的移民法，夺走了英国工人的工作，并为人口走私者提供资金。”

提前释放计划之“耻辱”

安德鲁·哈珀。”她补充道：“安迪·伯纳姆辜负了他们。他让那些为了保护我们所有人而习惯性向危险冲去的警察失望了。”
“让哈珀警官的凶手自由行走是司法制度的悲剧，而部长们竟然不阻止此次释放，是对政府的严厉谴责。”
新婚的哈珀警官，28 岁，在 2019 年试图拦截一辆载有自行车窃贼阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯（Albert Bowers）、杰西·科尔（Jessie Cole）和司机亨利·隆（Henry Long）的汽车后被拖至死亡。
鲍尔斯和科尔当时均为 18 岁，因过失致死被判处 13 年监禁；隆承认有罪并被监禁 16 年——他不符合提前释放的条件。
这起谋杀事件引发了强烈的抗议，莉西与他的家人一起为《哈珀法》（Harper's Law）奔走呼吁，该法为被判定过失致死紧急工作人员的人员设立了强制性终身监禁。工党

周一表示，尽管遭到受害者及其家属的反对，仍将提前释放数千名杀人犯和虐待者。
首相曾表示他将审查科尔和鲍尔斯的案件，但活动人士称其反应是“震耳欲聋的沉默”。一项要求让他们继续服刑的请愿书在一天内获得了 300,000 个签名。
泰晤士河谷警察局局长杰森·霍格（右）表示，他的部队可能会支持针对部长们的法律行动。艾琳·奥康纳担任拥有 5,000 名员工的警察联合会主席，并于昨日会见了律师。她表示：“所有相关的途径都在考虑之中。
“我正全力以赴地采取一切可能措施。这是对安德鲁遗产及其所代表的一切的背叛，也是对警察的背叛。我还没有
收到政府任何人的相关联系。我会成为他们的眼中钉……直到我们为安德鲁赢得正义。”
在谈到鲍尔斯和科尔时，她表示：“他们在安德鲁·哈珀的家人、在莉西之前就被告知将获得提前释放……这哪里是将受害者及其家属置于核心地位？”霍格先生说：
安德鲁和莉西·哈珀。他的两名凶手阿尔伯特·鲍尔斯、伊沃和杰西·科尔将在几周内被释放，以腾出监狱空间
“我认为公众在这一问题上的意见是压倒性的。”
在法律挑战中，高等法院法官将决定部长们在允许囚犯提前出狱时是否行为违法或不理性——但法律上必须存在明显的缺陷。
哈珀警员的母亲德比·阿德拉姆对可能的法院挑战表示欢迎，并补充道：“我们现在知道我们没有止步不前。”
莉西·哈珀将丈夫凶手可能被释放的消息称为“荒谬”，并称这是政府给予的一次“沉重打击”。她
补充道：“他们应该感到羞愧。我为被这些政治家及其短视的决定统治而感到羞愧。
“你们对安德鲁除了不尊重之外，什么都没有表现出来。”
勇气
伦敦警察局局长马克·罗利爵士表示，此案“在警察看到一个不准备支持他们勇气的司法系统时，对警察的信心产生了寒蝉效应”。保守党党魁凯米·巴德诺克表示，她支持对凶手释放情况进行审查。
根据量刑变更，约 5,000 名囚犯将被提前释放——在部长们将强奸犯和“严重”儿童性犯罪者排除在外后，人数从 6,000 人下降至此。
但英格兰和威尔士警察联合会主席蒂芙·林奇宣布：“被判定杀害警察的人被排除在该名单之外。这既令人深感失望，也无法解释。”
司法部表示，获释囚犯将面临更严格的缓刑条件，包括电子监控和药物检测。
一名发言人补充道：“我们对警察群体处于这种境地的愤怒感同身受。
“我们希望进一步采取行动，阻止更多罪犯提前出狱……但如果不冒监狱达到容量上限并崩溃的风险，就无法做到这一点。如果发生这种情况，警察将无法实施逮捕，法院将无法对罪犯进行羁押，犯罪行为将失去控制。”

击毙嫌疑人的警察无需承担制裁
监管机构表示，击毙克里斯·卡巴（Chris Kaba）的警察神枪手将不会面临纪律处分程序。
马丁·布莱克（Martyn Blake）于2022年在伦敦东南部斯特里特姆（Streatham）枪击了24岁的卡巴先生（见插图），此前卡巴试图开车冲过警车。
布莱克警佐在老贝利法院（Old Bailey）的审理后被判定不构成谋杀，但被指控行为不端。然而，在政府修改了关于警察使用武力的法规后，警察行为独立监督办公室（Independent Office for Police Conduct）这一监管机构表示，该程序现在将不再进行。

IOPC的阿曼达·罗（Amanda Rowe）表示：“我们的心与克里斯·卡巴的家人和朋友在一起。”伦敦警察厅长马克·罗利（Sir Mark Rowley）爵士表示，这一决定应该是“重新设定失衡的警察问责制度的里程碑时刻”。他补充道：“警察问责制度已经崩溃。”
卡巴先生曾身处伦敦最暴力的帮派之一，并被指控在其死亡前的6天内参与了两起枪击事件。

孩子站在斗争前线
独家报道
作者：理查德·阿什莫尔（RICHARD ASHMORE）
在一个受移民军事基地计划威胁的村庄里，孩子们写的恳求信直接向首相呼吁，请求拯救他们的未来。
身为三个孩子父亲的安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）很可能会被这些来自英国失控的寻求庇护危机中最年幼受影响者的纯真求助所打动。
皮丁顿（Piddington）是牛津郡的一个村庄，约有250名成年人和46名儿童居住，目前正面临在相邻的一个前国防部场地安置1,250名男性移民的计划。
由于当地人抱怨这些方案在没有咨询的情况下被强加于他们，他们最近举行了一次象征性的独立投票，决定离开英国。
大多数处于战斗年龄的移民男子可能会在几个月内抵达，并且除了签到和签出外，将可以自由走动。
基地周围的一道简易围栏直接沿着村里几户住宅的后方，以及孩子们、家庭和遛狗者使用的教区议会操场和公园的边界延伸。
由于寻求庇护者在该地区及村庄内聚集（正如他们在该国其他类似地点所做的那样），人们对安全性提出了担忧。现在，在
一系列信件中，皮丁顿的青少年们正写信给唐宁街10号，敦促刚刚飞往夏季度假的首相在他们父母的恳求被忽视后，倾听他们的声音。
在一封信中，七岁的雷克斯（Rex）担心走动的移民将意味着他可能无法前往安葬在村里的姐姐的坟墓。
在另一封信中，九岁的奥拉·韦斯特（Orla West）写道，她“不喜欢”这个庇护计划，因为“我们热爱我们的公园”。
六岁的康斯坦斯·沃克（Constance Walker）告诉首相，皮丁顿“是最棒的”，而且她热爱在公园里遛狗。
九岁的姐姐雅典娜·沃克（Athena Walker）说她写这封信是“为了让我们能继续开心玩耍”。
11岁的蒂莉·韦斯特（Tilly West）指出了该场地对其生活的影响，她指出她将不能再使用公园了。她写道：“我长大后将不会有那么多的自由，”并补充说她的信是写给村里的人，“以及那些不能经常在灌木丛中嗅闻的狗”。
蒂莉七岁的妹妹伊迪丝（Edith）说她热爱这个公园，皮丁顿有“如此多的爱与友谊”。
37岁的室内建筑师吉娜·珀金（Gina Perkin）一直住在村里，她的整个

她和丈夫 Jamie 现在在这个村庄抚养自己的家庭——儿子 Rex（7 岁）、Ned（5 岁）以及九个月大的 Zac。
他们挚爱的女儿 Nancy 在 2017 年九个半月大时去世，她的坟墓就在村里的教堂墓地中。
Gina 的长子 Rex 写的信或许是最令人动容的，因为他在信中告诉首相，他担心政府的计划将使他无法再去祭拜她的坟墓。他写道：“我担心我将无法那样做。”Gina 表示：“Rex 的信，

“我妈妈说‘孩童之口’（童言无忌），他的信就是这样，纯洁而天真，他希望安迪·伯纳姆能看到对他而言重要的事情。
“Nancy 是我们家庭的一员，我的孩子们每隔一天就会问是否可以去看她。
“这些计划可能会改变一切，这太可怕了。
“我们不希望孩子们对未来感到恐惧，但我们已经向他们解释，政府想要将很多人搬到离村庄非常近的地方

我们所拥有的，而这份遗产正受到威胁。我们希望当安迪读到其中一些信件时，能触动他的良知。”
金融部门工作人员 Matt Walker（49 岁）与妻子 Kirsty 以及女儿 Athena（9 岁）和六岁的 Constance 在该村庄生活了 13 年。
他说：“我们搬到这里是因为我们想要安定下来并抚养家庭。
“这不仅仅是一栋房子，而是一个家。Piddington 是抚养家庭的完美之地，或者说在这些提案出现之前，它是完美之地。
“我的女儿们正处于想要骑车去公园见朋友的年纪。
“这将从她们身边被夺走，因为这个场地就在隔壁，那将不再可能。就像任何父母一样，你不会拿孩子的安全去赌博。”
Matt 表示，他和妻子必须在让女孩们知道发生了什么，与同时不给她们带来“噩梦”之间找到平衡。
他补充道：“如果这项提案获得通过，并成为一个真实的威胁而非潜在威胁，显然与她们的对话将不得不改变，而那将会非常困难。”
全国积压的庇护申请数量为 98,000 份，且每周有更多移民跨越英吉利海峡。恐怖的场景也出现在
“安迪·伯纳姆，如果这件事发生在您身边，您会如何保护您的孩子？”
上周末，在西班牙飞地休达，近 50,000 名移民冲击了欧盟边境。
在应对这场危机时，工党誓言停止将移民安置在酒店中。但白厅计划将数千名移民大量安置在主要为农村地区的前国防部（MoD）场地，这冒着将问题简单转移的风险。
除了关于皮丁顿（Piddington）的提案外，位于萨福克郡巴纳姆（Barnham）和北约克郡林顿-昂-乌斯（Linton-on-Ouse）的另外两个场地可能安置约 3,750 名寻求庇护者。
政府还寻求将东萨塞克斯郡克罗伯勒（Crowborough）现有军事场地的使用期限延长至 2030 年，并将埃塞克斯郡韦瑟斯菲尔德（Wethersfield）的使用期限延长至 2027 年之后。
唐宁街10号表示，将“考虑提出的问题”，并“调查”皮丁顿的孩子们在任何信函中提出的担忧。
一名发言人表示：“社区的担忧是我们移民改革的核心，这就是为什么我们正与地方当局及其他相关方合作，通过将寻求庇护者安置在基础住宿设施（包括前军事场地）中，使系统更加公平。”
“我们已经看到了成效。在过去一年中，安置在酒店的寻求庇护者人数下降了 35%，且较 2023 年 56,000 人的峰值下降了 63%。”
“总体而言，自大选以来，寻求庇护的成本已下降了近 £10 亿加元。”

而且它可能会改变我们的生活方式。”
吉娜（Gina）的儿子内德（Ned）提到他多么热爱自己的村庄，因为这里是“一个如此善良的地方”，而且他热爱踢足球。
吉娜补充道：“我想以一名母亲的身份向一名父亲——安迪·伯纳姆呼吁，我想问‘如果这件事发生在您身边，您会如何保护您的孩子？’”
“我们尝试联系政府，但我们作为成年人的声音没有被听到，但现在是倾听孩子们的时刻了。”
“他们需要被听到。这最终关乎他们的未来和安全，他们有权感到安全并受到保护，而这一权利正被这些计划所损害。”
“我想以一个父亲而非首相的身份对安迪·伯纳姆说，您能倾听我们孩子的声音吗？”
皮丁顿强大的社区精神使这个村庄成为一个抚养孩子的特别之地，就像英国各地许多农村社区一样，但吉娜担心这种“紧密相连”的生活方式现在面临风险。
她补充道：“人们说抚养一个孩子需要整个村庄的努力，而这项提案正使这一点陷入危险。如果我必须带其中一个孩子去看医生，我可以敲邻居家的门，他们会帮我照顾另一个孩子。”
“我每天都能见到我母亲，前几天晚上她还在我家帮忙，因为我的哥哥和他的伴侣要结婚了。”
“母亲在晚上 11 点离开家步行回家，但未来她还能这样做吗？”
“即使他们在国防部场地安置 1,250 名苏格兰男人或白人英国男人，同样存在危险。”
吉娜的母亲曼迪·贝利斯（Mandy Bayliss），62 岁，说她小时候和朋友们从早上 8 点就开始出去玩，直到晚餐时间才回来。她说：“让我害怕的是，我的孙辈们将无法拥有我以及前几代人所拥有的童年。”
“这里一直是个安全的村庄，每个人都互相照看。我们是一个社区，这是一个独特的地方。”
“作为一家人，我们非常幸运能够留在这里，因为并非每个人都能做到。”
“由这么多代人留给孩子们的遗产将被这些计划侵蚀。皮丁顿还有其他家庭，其世代传承的时间一样久……”

埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）在昨天与美国同行会面时，回避了关于他过去批评唐纳德·特朗普的问题。
这位外交大臣在会见马可·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）时，被问及他是否仍然认为美国总统（见下方插图）是“一个白痴、一个种族主义者和一个厌女者”。
这位前工党领袖忽略了这个问题，回答道：“我们期待着我们的会面。”
米利班德先生与美国国务卿鲁比奥先生预计将讨论重新开放霍尔穆兹海峡的努力、乌克兰战争以及加沙问题。
在华盛顿会谈之前，米利班德先生表示，确保这条关键航道的自由通行——该航道在伊朗战争期间被封锁，导致油气价格飙升——对于“缓解英国民众的生活成本压力至关重要”。
他补充道：“政府致力于培育我们强大、持久且至关重要的联盟。我们还将讨论如何继续
与乌克兰肩并肩对抗俄罗斯的战争——以及解决加沙严峻人道主义局势并致力于实现持久和平的重要性。”
白宫助手据称对首相安迪·伯纳姆决定将外交部职责交给米利班德先生感到担忧，后者曾是特朗普先生的激烈批评者。
他曾作为能源大臣领导净零排放运动——而特朗普先生则敦促伯纳姆先生及其前任基尔·斯塔默爵士承诺在北海进行更多的化石燃料钻探。
2017, 年，米利班德先生曾表示特朗普先生“降低了愚蠢的门槛”，他后来还参加了在伦敦举行的“停止特朗普”游行。
他还批评了美国总统与俄罗斯之间“极其古怪的关系”，并指责他降低了政治标准。
米利班德先生在净零排放问题上也与特朗普先生发生过冲突。
据报道，他在华盛顿圈子里被起了一个绰号叫“埃德·米利瓦特”（Ed Miliwatt）——这是在讽刺据称由其政策产生的电量极小。
共和党总统的一位盟友此前曾警告说：“特朗普不会忘记。他绝不会忘记。
“米利班德有严重的外交修复工作需要承担。”

怀特霍尔通过合同助力青少年就业
部长们将取消授予政府合同公司的净零排放要求。
国务大臣露易丝·海格表示，公司转而必须证明他们将帮助青少年就业。实际上担任副首相的海格坚持认为，怀特霍尔将取消一系列公司为了赢得交易而必须满足的要求清单。
她补充道：“长期以来，[公共] 采购试图勾选太多的选项。如果你将所有事情都视为优先事项，那么你其实没有优先事项。”
海格表示，相关规则曾包括“一整套围绕净零排放、围绕环境的条件”，并继续说道：“有些事情我认为很多企业会很难证明，比如应对家庭暴力和改善

商业街。这变得相当模糊。”内阁办公室新的“社会价值”模型将要求英国国内及国际公司证明他们正在英国创造就业机会和机遇。
对于价值 £500 万-plus 的合同，“社会价值”的权重将从 10% 提高到 20%。
指南将于秋季发布，变更将于 1 月起生效。
GMB 工会全国秘书夏洛特·布伦普顿-查尔兹表示：“利用公共资金在我们的社区创造良好就业、学徒岗位和技能是正确的方法。”
“纳税人期望政府合同能为劳动人民和英国就业带来实际利益，而不仅仅是为供应商带来利润。”
她继续说道：“这些变化有潜力支持当地就业，帮助年轻人获得高质量工作，并加强全国范围内的技能。”
“现在的重点必须确保这些承诺是有意义的，得到妥善监督，并带来体面的、有工会保障的就业岗位，让工人能够在此建立他们的未来。”
正在国外度假的首相安迪·伯纳姆此前表示，政府将修改采购规则，在授予合同时优先考虑“社会价值”，包括公司是否为年轻人提供工作经验。
他上周在一次播客中表示，他希望增加提供给 16 至 18 岁青少年的 45 天实习岗位数量，这可以提高他们的就业能力，旨在降低那些不在教育、就业或培训中的年轻人（即 Neets）的数量。

警告：必须遵守裁决否则将面临行动
作者：DAVID WILLIAMSON
平等与人权委员会负责人警告称，未能保护单性别空间的左翼议会将面临法律行动。
玛丽-安·斯蒂芬森（Mary-Ann Stephenson）向那些试图无视指导方针的当局发出了警告。该指导方针是在去年最高法院的一项里程碑式裁决后发布的，该裁决认定女性的法律定义基于生物性别。
该指导方针于本周生效，她警告称：“（他们将）意识到他们有义务遵守法律。”
“我们有权采取法律行动。”
由绿党领导的兰贝斯（Lambeth）议会上个月支持一项动议，称该准则“不连贯、自相矛盾且具有歧视性”。
该动议要求官员在“官员建议这是一种合法选择的情况下，继续采取不执行的方案”。
斯蒂芬森女士昨天还告诉时代广播电台（Times Radio），拒绝该准则的当局还可能面临来自公众成员的法律行动。
该指导方针明确规定，更衣室和洗手间等单性别设施应在生物性别的基础上进行组织。
绿党党魁扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）猛烈抨击该准则，称：“这些指南从一开始就是不可行的。”
但影子平等大臣克莱尔·库廷霍（Claire Coutinho）表示：“法律非常明确：单性别空间和服务必须仅在生物性别的基础上运行。”

工党因其“借贷狂欢”而遭到抨击
作者：KATIE HARRIS
工党因计划通过一场借贷狂欢来刺激经济而受到指责。
据报道，部长们正考虑利用财政规则的变更，提供数十亿英镑用于基础设施、住房和企业的支出。
这些提案正在财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）的首份预算案出台前进行制定。
它们每年可能会筹集超过 £90 亿加元。
此举旨在刺激经济，这笔资金可能会被引导至地区市长。但保守党警告称，该计划“仅仅是更多的
梅尔·斯特赖德称支出计划“就是债务”
借贷，简单直接”，增加了英国令人瞠目结舌的债务。
影子财政大臣梅尔·斯特赖德爵士（Sir Mel Stride）表示：“工党试图蒙蔽你们的眼睛。这纯粹就是借贷。”
“从债券市场借钱，支付利息，并让你们的孩子承担债务的重担。工党在公共财政方面不可信，且不理解增长。”
“而且政府支出尚未解决我们的增长问题，因此几乎没有理由相信额外的 90亿英镑 会产生任何影响。”
这一举措之所以可行，是因为瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）在担任财政大臣期间实施了财政规则的变更。它允许政府将基础设施支出或公司股权计为可抵消借贷成本的“资产”。
人们希望这些提案能帮助实现首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）关于“每个邮政编码区都能增长”的承诺。
希利先生告诉《泰晤士报》，存在“快速投资的空间”。他坚持认为，定于 10月 28, 发布的预算案将“符合我们的财政规则”。
财政大臣承诺，该声明将“建立在财政纪律之上”，并将“资金和权力移出威斯敏斯特”。
财政部的一位发言人表示：“财政大臣正全力关注其优先事项，即促进商业、帮助应对生活成本并支持每个邮政编码区的人们。”
无人驾驶出租车获支持
一批将在伦敦使用的 Uber 自动驾驶汽车已获得小型出租车执照。
科技公司 Wayve 表示，伦敦交通局（Transport for London）已为其部分自动驾驶电动福特野马（Ford Mustangs）授予私家租赁车辆执照。
Uber 表示，在全面推出之前，在注册乘坐机器人出租车的 100,000 人中，部分人员将在今年夏天获得试乘机会。
一名驾驶员将坐在方向盘后准备随时接管控制权。
如果这些公司能证明该技术是安全的，他们必须获得驾驶员和车辆标准局（Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency）的批准，才能在没有驾驶员的情况下运行这些汽车。
Uber 的 Annie Duvnjak 表示：“这份执照是将自动驾驶行程带到伦敦 Uber 平台上的一个关键里程碑。”

一名曾从事反犹太主义网络欺凌的人员在遭到强烈抵制后，已退出保守党议会候选人竞选。
Joshua Bonehill-Paine 曾因骚扰一名犹太议员而被监禁，他此前被选定于明年代表保守党参加萨默塞特郡（Somerset）的议会选举。
他表示：“与其作为议会候选人参选，我认为我的经验更好地用于支持 Kemi Badenoch 正在进行的打击分裂我们国家的反犹主义和极端主义的任务。”
“因此，我已经将我退出明年议会选举的决定通知了党内。”
“Kemi 转而提议让我成为保守党文化与融合委员会的顾问，专注于研究年轻男性如何被激进化。”
仇恨
保守党领袖 Badenoch 夫人坚称他已经改过自新，并表示她很“遗憾”他“没有空间来解释自己的立场并代表他的社区”。
她补充说，他现在将与保守党合作，作为党内文化与融合委员会的一部分，共同应对激进化问题。
她说：“如果我们想要停止极端主义和反犹主义，我们需要那些曾经是问题一部分、但现在已经改变并成为解决方案一部分的人的帮助。攻击他们并试图让他们被‘取消’可能是其他政党的娱乐活动，但这与

保守党不同。”Bonehill-Paine 先生在 2016 年因被判定种族加重骚扰工党的 Luciana Berger 而被判处两年监禁。
他当时已经在执行另一项三年以上的监禁，原因是制作了一则新纳粹集会的广告，其中配有奥斯威辛集中营的照片，并承诺将是一场“绝对的快感（an absolute gas）”。
英国犹太人代表委员会（Board of Deputies of British Jews）和犹太领导委员会（Jewish Leadership Council）已呼吁保守党改变方向，而 Berger 男爵夫人则表示，由于他的种族主义以及他对女性的看法，他不应该在“公共生活中担任任何角色”。
英国改革党（Reform UK）表示：“Kemi Badenoch 雇佣了一名前新纳粹分子，这简直令人难以置信。一个自称法西斯主义者且因发布反犹材料而被监禁的人，现在将对保守党的政策拥有发言权。”
“对于英国的犹太社区来说，这是一个令人震惊的消息。”
工党因向巴勒斯坦提供“错误”的 3.81 亿英镑m 援助而遭抨击
数据显示，工党在巴勒斯坦援助上花费的纳税人资金将比用于保护英国犹太人的资金多出 50%。
部长级问答揭露，未来三年将向巴勒斯坦发送约 £3.81 亿。
这比政府承诺用于保护英国犹太社区的 £2.5 亿 多出 50%。
影子外交大臣普里蒂·帕特尔（插图）表示：“工党的优先级完全错了。这笔异常巨额的资金，其中一部分可能会落入不民主且不受监督的巴勒斯坦权力机构之手，”

作者：AARON NEWBURY 政治记者
“超过了近期承诺用于保护英国犹太人免受反犹暴力和仇恨侵害的资金。”
“工党的海外援助挥霍行为可能会导致更多工党税收上涨。”

球星是首位被招募为角斗士的名人，如果以他的橄榄球生涯为参考，参赛者们应该做好心理准备。
不过，这并不是名人第一次踏入竞技场。
英国广播公司（BBC）的全明星衍生节目曾见证了 Vogue Williams、Joe Wicks、Rob Beckett 和 Joel Dommett 等人挑战角斗士。
最受喜爱
前奥运选手 Sharron Davies 在 90 年代的原版节目中曾担任角斗士 Amazon。
在即将到来的系列节目中，Marler 将与熟悉的角斗士面孔共同出现，包括 Apollo (Alex Gray)、Comet (Ella-Mae Rayner)、Diamond (Livi Sheldon)、Nitro (《舞动奇迹》明星 Harry Aikines-Arveetey) 和 Dynamite (Emily Steel)。
Marler 在效力于 Harlequins 和英格兰队的橄榄球联盟球员期间成名。这位前左柱球员还代表过英国和爱尔兰狮队。
自从退役后，他转向了电视事业。
他曾出演过 Michael McIntyre 的《The Wheel》、《Blankety Blank》等节目，并于近期参加了 2026 年的 Soccer Aid。
去年秋天他在《名人叛徒》（Celebrity Traitors）中的表现使他成为了电视明星。他凭借敏锐的分析以及与喜剧演员 Joe Wilkinson 和 Nick Mohammed 的友谊成为了观众的最爱。
Marler 与《泰德·拉索》明星 Mohammed 结成了同盟，但后者在最后的圆桌会议上背叛了他并投票将其淘汰——这一幕成为了热门视频并引发了巨大的网络反响。
《角斗士》将于明年回归 BBC One 和 BBC iPlayer。

泰晤士河谷警察局局长得到了我们的支持
很少有人听说过 Jason Hogg，但他不仅站在法律正确的一边，也将站在历史正确的一边。
这位泰晤士河谷警察局局长打破沉默，公开反对工党释放数千名罪犯的荒谬决定。
他的下属之一，警察安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper）于 2019 年在执行公务时被杀。
两名责任人——冷笑的杀手 Jessie Cole 和 Albert Bowers——现在即将被释放。
官方机构往往以胆怯的沉默而著称，尤其是在需要领导力的时刻，因此，Hogg 先生敢于挺身而出，值得巨大的尊重。警察经常陷入无论怎么做都会被谴责的境地。
但如果那些本该被监禁的人可以自由地继续其犯罪活动，他们究竟如何能开始履行维护公众安全的首要职能？
警察将不再是法律的延伸，而是被迫在被束缚一只手的情况下开展工作。
数百万人的生活每天受到犯罪的侵害。受害者希望司法系统站在他们这一边，而不是站在像 Cole 和 Bowers 这样的暴力暴徒一边。Hogg 先生正考虑就安德鲁·哈珀警察杀手被提前释放一事对政府采取法律行动，这表明了他站在哪一边。
他得到了我们的全力支持，也得到了公众的支持。
处于前沿的村庄
牛津郡可能很富裕且位于乡村的内圈郡（Home Counties），但它并非对英国其他地区面临的问题免疫。
比斯特附近的皮丁顿，如果政府将 1,250 名单身男性移民安置在该地的一座新避难中心，其人口可能会增加到四倍。
该村庄此前已经投票支持离开英国，以抗议将男性（其中许多人不讲英语且没有在英国合法居留权）安置在比斯特驻地军事设施的计划。
尽管那次公投具有象征意义，但对这些提案翻滚的愤怒绝非如此。
当地人认为，社区不可能吸收如此多的人并尝试承受随之而来的后果。
工党无法处理非法移民紧急情况，导致目前英国几乎每个地区都感受到了同样的问题。
这使得皮丁顿的人们不再相信政府现在能确保英国的边境安全，因此他们认为自己可以控制自己的边境。

女性仍面临
保护
单性别空间的斗争
在最高法院对性别的法律定义做出裁决一年后，我原以为我们不需要看到公共机构被踢打并尖叫着地被强迫遵守。但现在已经没有什么能让我惊讶了，所以我愿意接受我们获得的小小胜利。
你可能在想，为什么这样一个基础的、常识性的问题会成为我们这个时代最具定义性的斗争之一。毕竟，现实何时起开始由个人的主张来决定？而拒绝加入其中何时起被视为一种可惩罚的罪行？信不信由你，自我认同并不是一项皇家法令。
这是因为厌女症在我们的社会中依然根深蒂固，即使它被重新包装，并被误入歧途的女性及其跨性别盟友所支持。
说认真的，还有比这更糟糕的吗——当女性表示她们希望拥有仅限女性的空间时，无论男性对此感觉如何，都面临着一致的抵制？怎么可能证明告诉女性忍耐并“重构”她们的创伤是正当的，就像爱丁堡强奸危机中心的跨性别首席执行官不久前建议的那样？
冒着显得冷酷的风险，男性不想被提醒他们不是女性，绝不应成为公共政策的基础。永远不应。同样，关于跨性别女性对女性几乎没有威胁的不断哀嚎也不应成为基础。
与离奇流行的观点相反，跨性别女性仍然是生物学上的男性，而她们的跨性别认同状态对其从事针对女性的袭击或暴力倾向几乎没有影响。跨性别女性的犯罪率与生物学男性相似，这就是我们需要知道的全部。
不只是我在这么说。一项 2011 年的研究（由三位学者在向最近的一个议会委员会提交的证据中引用）发现，男性转为
去年，人群在议会抗议最高法院关于单性别的裁决

每日快报专栏作家
女性过渡者保留了男性的犯罪模式。而在犯罪学中，人们广泛认可男性犯下的罪行远多于女性。
2020年至2022年的司法部数据显示，男性在强奸案中占比99%，在性犯罪和武器犯罪中占比超过90%，在暴力犯罪中占比超过80%。所以，请不要跟我谈论那些认为其“生活经验”应高于数据以及女性如何看待这些数据的人的受伤感情。
我听到的另一种反对意见是，单个跨性别者的定罪并不构成更广泛社会趋势的证据。呵呵，这主张倒是挺方便的，不是吗？
问题在于，这个国家的跨性别女性人数少之又少，导致警务数据也因此非常匮乏，以至于一次定罪就能改变数据。难道就因为活动人士不喜欢数字的累积方式，女性就应该忽视这些个体的男性身份吗？
在公共生活的其他哪个领域，我们会被要求为了顾及某个群体的感受而忽视现有数据？我没听到有人在城市青年犯罪统计数据中这样大放厥词，而在那里，年轻黑人男性的比例严重过高。
那么，旨在削弱警务工作以顾及一个明显更容易从事某些犯罪活动的群体的运动在哪里？此外，真正的盟友绝不会要求女性牺牲自己的安全，好让男性避免被提醒其生物学特征。
所有这些都让今天的感觉比实际情况更重要。新准则长达342页，且没有改写《平等法》的任何一行。自我认同从未成为法律，2022年的一起案件已明确指出这一点。然而，医院仍要求女护士与男同事一起更衣，而那些在被告席和牢房之间找到了女性身份的男性则继续与女性被安置在一起。
“现在唯一剩下的就是有效的执行”
Kishwer Falkner在准则起草期间担任平等监督机构主席，她简单地将其表述为：这些组织一直以来都在非法运作，且大多数人以等待政府指导为由掩盖行为。
现在，他们得到了指导。
唯一剩下的就是有效的执行。Falkner警告称，委员会没有资金来处理这些案件，这使得女性不得不自费执行法律。由绿党领导的兰贝斯议会已经支持一项拒绝执行该准则的动议。与此同时，政府在9月到5月期间一直压着这份完成的文件，然后才将其提交给议会讨论。
所以，是的，这是一次胜利。至少现在，一个被告知在男人身边脱衣服的女性在法庭上有据可依了。但任何人都不应将一份实践准则误认为是一场救援，而那些将此案一路打到最高法院的女性，可能也将资助下一轮诉讼。

哈里，这个笑话一点也不好笑
萨塞克斯夫妇对“隐私”的恳求现在已经变成了一个笑话。在他们最近访问这里之后，有消息透露他们秘密前往了苏格兰的一个偏远岛屿——塔内拉莫尔（Tanera Mor）。这次旅行如此“秘密”，以至于不仅他们行程的全部细节都曝光了，我们甚至看到了他们乘坐的船只照片。
如果没有萨塞克斯夫妇的默许，这些细节绝不可能曝光，然而，这个哈里最近刚刚输掉了一场针对某家报纸的高调诉讼，他错误地指控该报纸窃听其电话以及其他犯罪行为。哈里本人可能太笨了，意识不到其中的讽刺。
下次他再抱怨隐私问题时，应该有人告诉他闭嘴。
这真是一次极其震撼的经历
所以我终于读了《奥德赛》，坦白说，他前往冥界的那个场景让我想起了古希腊版的迈克尔·杰克逊的《Thriller》。不过，特洛伊被洗劫的场面确实很有冲击力。剧透预警：他最终回到了家。
关于《奥德赛》的话题，马特·达蒙的替身竟然是一个名叫德文·道尔顿（Devyn Dalton）的4英尺6英寸高的女性，这简直太好笑了。而他能公开承认这一点，真是非常大方。他说她“拥有我见过的最强壮的手臂”。几年前，娜塔莉·波特曼主演《黑天鹅》时曾引发一场大争论。在那次事件中，她有一位名叫莎拉·莱恩（Sarah Lane）的芭蕾舞替身，双方就实际舞蹈部分由谁完成地多少展开了激烈的争论。
我支持马特队。如果有疑问，就自嘲吧。

工党的 Neet 诡计不过是掩人耳目的把戏
现在的工党这帮人，是否还有比他们更妄想且无能的政党？在掌权后，他们编造了一个 £200 亿加元 的经济黑洞，以此来证明提高税收的合理性；攻击农业，大概仅仅是因为杰里米·克拉克森也在其中；并且在接下来的两年里一直没完没了地提起利兹·特拉斯。
这个女人在 10, 号只待了 49 天，她留下的绝大部分烂摊子由里希·苏纳克清理，且在很大程度上已被选民遗忘。但在工党看来，她仍然要为我们的经济困境负责，而这帮人从未停止谈论她。
现在轮到迈克尔·戈夫了。根据令人发笑的教育大臣露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）的说法，超过 100 万年轻人没有接受教育、没有就业也没有接受培训（Neets），这是戈夫的错。她说，通过强迫学校专注于学术科目，他们忽视了那些更适合实践培训的人。
这简直是彻头彻尾的胡说八道。首先，迈克尔·戈夫是我们几十年来最好的教育大臣，如果工党真的认为他推动提高教育标准是错误的，那么这反映出的是他们的问题，而不是他的问题。
其次，我们拥有如此多 Neets 的真实且唯一的原因是工党对就业市场的全面打击。英国历史上最糟糕的财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）对就业岗位征收更高的税收，这必然意味着岗位减少。
监管的增加意味着年轻人几乎不可能找到一份周六兼职，而这曾是塑造我们许多人的关键；与此同时，安杰拉·雷纳（Angela Rayner）的《就业权利法案》意味着对那些真正想要雇佣更多员工的人施加了更多限制。
当工党上台时，Neets 的比例是 13%，现在青年失业率是 16.4%。这和迈克尔·戈夫到底有什么关系？
戈夫先生（实际上是男爵）终于受够了，在上次选举中退位，现在成为了一本优秀杂志的主编，这是政治的损失，却是新闻业的收获。
但这同样也是我们的损失，因为在这个犯罪般愚蠢的政府最终被投票赶下台后，我们需要几个聪明人来清理烂摊子。缓慢但坚定地，他们开始出现了。谢天谢地，至少凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）真的开始大放异彩了。

剑桥大学在教授抄袭风波中面临名誉风险
剑桥大学到底怎么了？围绕杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）爆发了一场巨大的争论，他 37 岁时成为了该校有史以来任命的最年轻的黑人教育社会学教授（剑桥大学竟然存在这样一个学科，这件事本身就说明了一切）。
阿尔代被指控抄袭，夸大其极强的身体能力（他说他在六天内跑了 600 英里），而且现在甚至编造了自己在电视系列剧《Seven Up》中出现过——而该剧在他在出生前几十年就播出了。他随后承认其作品中存在一些错误，但这简直是一个彻头彻尾的笑话。
巧合的是，我的父亲曾是一位受过剑桥教育的曼彻斯特大学教授：他获得了剑桥大学的奖学金，取得了双星一级荣誉学位，并在其博士论文中在纯数学领域产生了开创性的成果，改变了人们对该学科的理解。
历史并没有记录阿尔代做过其中任何一项。我也曾在剑桥学习，虽然我的记录远不如我父亲，但我认识一些才华横溢的人，他们渴望但未能获得牛剑的教授职位。
除非剑桥大学紧急处理这一阴暗片段，否则它将面临成为笑柄的风险。

英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士各地的议会金库中存放着超过 £1.4 亿 的被遗忘的现金——其中一部分可能属于你。
根据 Money Saving Expert (MSE) 的一项信息自由请求，这笔资金是基于已关闭的市政税账户而产生的信用余额，据上次估计，约有 800,000 户家庭被欠款。
平均每户的退款约为 £100，如果你被欠款，这可以在剩余的夏季月份里为你带来一笔不错的小意外之财。
MSE 表示，议会仍持有这些资金最常见的原因是人们搬家。
因为市政税通常是预付的——通常分 10 个月分期付款——在月中或年中搬出可能会导致你的旧账户出现余额。如果你没有通过直接付款方式支付，或者你在没有提供转发地址的情况下搬到了另一个地方政府，那么你的旧议会就没有自动化的方式将钱发还给你。
该账户仅会被标记为“有余额”，然后很快就被遗忘了。如果你在搬家后忘记取消定期付款指令，或者在你离开后，你之前的住所被追溯划入较低的税级，你也可能被欠款。如果上述任何变动发生在 1993 年之后，你被欠款的可能性最大。
如果你认为自己符合标准，可以通过在 Google 上快速搜索你的议会是否有“市政税退款申请表”来确认你是否被欠款。如果没有，请改为致电或发送电子邮件给议会。
如果你符合条件，还有一些合法降低市政税账单的小技巧。了解这些是有好处的，因为去年有高达 £33 亿美元 的此类补贴未被申领。问题就在于——你必须申请；
如何分得
这 £14um 的一杯羹
这种补贴并非自动发放。如果你独居，可获得 25% 的单身人士折扣。如果其他人与你同住但属于市政税“豁免”对象（如全日制学生、住家护理人员、18 岁以下人员或患有严重精神障碍的人员），你可能仍可获得 25% 的折扣。如果所有人都被豁免，折扣将增加到 50%，且该房产可能免税。
为身体残疾人士改造的房屋也可能符合减税条件。如果你收入较低或领取某些福利（如养老金信用额度），由当地议会运行的市政税削减计划可以进一步降低你的账单或全额覆盖。请查看你议会的网站或致电了解你可以获得哪些帮助。

行李箱内发现尸体后嫌疑人出庭

一名被指控杀害一名女性并将尸体丢弃在行李箱中的男子已在雅典法院出庭，被指控犯有蓄意杀人罪。
当局尚未公开确认其身份，但据广泛报道，被指控杀害 38 岁的 Elisabeth-Jane Ross 的男子是 26 岁的 Sharif Ahmadzai。
这名慈善工作者的尸体于 7 月 18 日由一名无家可归者在希腊首都 Kypseli 地区的一栋废弃建筑中发现。
嫌疑人昨日在多名警员的陪同下抵达法院参加私人听证会。随后有人看到他在一小时后离开法院。
Elisabeth-Jane 的尸体被发现
据报道，他在听证会期间被指派了一名法院指定的律师，并将于明天再次出庭。
据了解，蓄意杀人罪相当于英国的谋杀罪名。
在出庭前几天，一段令人心碎的闭路电视画面被公开，据称画面显示凶手在雅典街头用行李箱推着一具尸体。
在视频中，可以看到一名男子在市中心费力地拖着一个巨大的黑色箱子。画面追踪了该男子的路径，显示他缓慢地向一座废弃建筑走去。
据指控，他随后将来自爱丁堡的 Elisabeth-Jane 的尸体丢弃在那里后离开。希腊官员表示，他否认了杀人指控。

这座占地两英亩的围墙花园由王太后修复，由一座 15 英尺高的石墙保护，以抵御严酷的海岸风。花园内设有色彩缤纷的玫瑰床、贝壳花园和一个高效的厨房花园，为城堡提供蔬菜和切花。
梅城堡及其花园的主管园丁 Chris Parkinson 表示：“我的目标是在花园中创造更多焦点，感觉之前存在一些重复，所以我们正回归到一种不同的风格，并创造有趣的特色，让你想要一次又一次地四处好奇地参观。”按照传统，国王每年 8 月的第一周都会在这座城堡度过。
此次访问恰逢 8 月 4 日王太后的生日。她于 2002 年在温莎去世，享年 101 岁。
“国王玫瑰”是一种重复开花的灌木玫瑰，洋红色和白色的花朵围绕着亮黄色的中心。它是与国王基金会（The King's Foundation）合作创建的，可在 David Austin Roses 购买，售价 £35，每笔销售额中的 £2.50 将捐给该慈善机构。
82岁的Glitter被指控对女孩实施性犯罪
法庭获悉，恋童癖流行歌星加里·格利特（Gary Glitter）涉嫌用巧克力诱骗一名女学生，随后邀请她前往其豪宅，并在那里多次对其进行猥亵。
这位名声扫地的华丽摇滚歌手被指控在20世纪70年代对一名女孩实施了一系列新的性犯罪，该女孩在被指控袭击时年龄在8至11岁之间。
82岁的Glitter通过视频链接在威斯敏斯特治安法院出庭，被指控在1978年至1981年期间与一名13岁以下的女孩发生非法性行为，以及三项对14岁以下女孩实施猥亵袭击的罪名。
目前有一名指控受害者。
负责起诉的乔纳森·波尔奈（Jonathan Polnay）KC表示，涉嫌犯罪行为发生在原告（出于法律原因无法公开身份）处于小学就读年龄期间。
据称，涉嫌犯罪行为发生在Glitter位于西伦敦肯辛顿和切尔西的住址，该地靠近该女孩居住的地方。
由保罗·吉夫斯（PAUL JEEVES）犯罪编辑报道
据称，原名保罗·加德（Paul Gadd）的Glitter会给女孩巧克力并“邀请她进入他的房子，随后在那里实施了一系列严重的性犯罪”。Glitter目前因儿童性犯罪被判处16年监禁。他在屏幕上显得很虚弱，当时他是在德文郡的钱宁斯伍德监狱（HMP Channings Wood）的一个房间里出庭。
在被要求确认姓名后，Glitter说：“法官阁下，请原谅。我的听力极差，除非我读唇语，否则我听不见。我的名字是保罗·加德。”
调查
波尔奈先生表示，Glitter在接受警方采访时称他不认识原告，并坚称针对他的指控是虚假的。
首席治安法官保罗·戈德斯普林（Paul Goldspring）将Glitter羁押，要求其于9月2日在中央刑事法院（Old Bailey）再次出庭。他补充说，届时是通过视频链接还是亲自出庭“尚待确定”。
他告诉Glitter：“你面临的指控中包括一项仅能由刑事法院审理的罪行，这意味着只有王室法院才能处理。”
“其他三项指控由于原告是同一人而相关联。”
“在这种情况下，所有四项指控都被移交给王室法院，即被称为Old Bailey的中央刑事法院，你将于9月2日在那里出庭。”
伦敦大都会警察局此前表示，这些指控于去年1月9日首次向警方报告，Glitter于2025年7月22日就此次调查接受了采访。
Glitter是20世纪70年代最顶尖的榜单之星之一，在五年内售出了1800万张唱片。
他凭借一系列热门歌曲获得了巨大的成功，包括《Rock and Roll (Parts One And Two)》、《I'm The Leader Of The Gang (I Am)》和《Do You Wanna Touch Me》。他拥有26首热门单曲，在英国单曲榜上总共停留了180周。
他最后一次进入英国前40名榜单的热门歌曲是1984年的《Another Rock and Roll Christmas》。

在泰勒·斯威夫特之前，有仙妮亚·唐娜 (Shania Twain)。她是乡村音乐史上最畅销的女性艺术家，唱片销量超过 1 亿 张，并获得了五项格莱美奖。
她的热门歌曲《You're Still the One》、《Man! I Feel Like a Woman!》以及《That Don't Impress Me Much》为她带来了估计超过 4亿美元 (2.95 亿英镑m) 的财富。
但她的生活曾被心碎笼罩——这段悲剧塑造了她的职业生涯，甚至在她的事业开始之前就差一点将其终结。
仙妮亚在加拿大安大略省的蒂明斯 (Timmins) 长大，她的家庭充满了贫困与暴力，她用音乐屏蔽了成长过程中的痛苦。
1987年11月1日，在她 22 岁时，她的母亲莎伦 (Sharon) 和继父杰里·唐娜 (Jerry Twain) 在瓦瓦 (Wawa) 附近因一辆伐木车正面撞击他们的汽车而丧生。
她在多伦多学习期间通过电话得知了这个消息。“在电话里听到那个消息时，我崩溃了，”仙妮亚在英国广播公司 (BBC) 世界服务频道的《艺术时间》(The Arts Hour) 节目中说道。
“我姐姐给我打电话，我能听到背景里我小弟弟在打保龄球的声音。我们当时都陷入了极大的震惊之中。那次事故之后，孩子们不能被分开。”
仙妮亚搬回了家，负责照顾年幼的弟妹并处理父母的后事。她说：“我不能悲伤，因为我被投入到了这种监护状态中。”
“我必须做很多我完全不懂的事情，比如为房子办理第二次抵押贷款，以维持接下来的生活。”
“我必须逐步理解事故报告——很多任何人都不想经历的事情。那简直太可怕了。”
音乐不得不暂时搁置，直到她母亲的朋友玛丽·贝利 (Mary Bailey) 成了她的第一个经纪人，并在安大略省亨茨维尔 (Huntsville) 的迪尔赫斯特度假村 (Deerhurst Resort) 为她找到了一份工作。
仙妮亚说：“所以，我在一个距离家乡六小时车程的高尔夫度假村里参加综艺表演。因此我必须把孩子们搬到亨茨维尔，因为那里有稳定的收入，而且我仍然可以唱歌。”
“我不能到处奔波而离开家人，所以我非常幸运能有这份工作，至少有一份稳定的职业，而且我们所有的孩子都能在一起。”度假村在三年内支付了账单，而她的梦想则在她不断创作的歌曲中延续。仙妮亚说：“词曲创作是我的核心，那是我的快乐。我不断与玛丽分享我的演示带。她变得像我的第二个母亲一样，会给我反馈。”
其中一段演示带传到了一位纳什维尔的音乐律师那里，后者北上来听她唱歌。
仙妮亚说：“他被震撼到了，以至于特意跑到度假村来听我现场演唱。当我唱起《Wind Beneath My Wings》这首歌时，他简直不敢相信。此时，我已经在这个度假村工作一段时间了。我可以穿着细高跟鞋唱歌，我可以穿着亮片礼服，我的表现更像一个世界级的表演者。”
“我在这个度假村学到了很多。我以为我会永远留在那里——支付账单，我很感激能做到这一点。我知道，最终孩子们会离开，那时我就太迟了，无法拥有事业。在我拥有第一首进入前 10 名的歌曲时，我才 30 岁。”
她说：“在我努力成为一名录音艺术家的过程中，确实遇到了停滞，但上天之门打开了，因为我终于被发现了。这是一次真正的发掘。由一个来自田纳西州纳什维尔的正经大人物发掘的。”
在纳什维尔的一次围桌谈话时刻，成为了她最新专辑的名称。仙妮亚说：“于是我去了田纳西州的纳什维尔，我坐下……”

让仙妮亚·唐娜成为乡村传奇的心碎经历
“我的姐姐给我打电话，我能听到我哥哥在‘背景中呼喊’”
2011年，当姐姐凯莉-安（Carrie-Ann）在好莱坞星光大道获得星名时，两人拥抱
2021年，夏尼娅与第二任丈夫弗雷德里克·蒂博（Frederic Thiebaud）
2011年，泰勒·斯威夫特与夏尼娅在田纳西州
在那张巨大的圆桌旁，他们说：“小特温小姐，请签上你的名字。”
这次签名开启了一段重塑乡村音乐的职业生涯，尽管成功也带来了它自身的考验。
她于1993年与制作人罗伯特·约翰·“马特”·兰格（Robert John "Mutt" Lange）结婚，两人共同创作了《Come On Over》。他们的儿子埃贾（Eja）于2001年出生。
2003年，在《Up!》巡演期间的一次蜱虫叮咬导致她患上了莱姆病和发声障碍（dysphonia），她接受了开喉手术。多年来，没有人能告诉她为什么她的声音会不断中断。
夏尼娅在她的Netflix纪录片《Not Just a Girl》中说：“我的声音再也回不到从前了。我以为我永远失去了声音。我以为就这样结束了；我再也、再也无法唱歌了。”
她的婚姻在2010年结束，此前马特与她的好朋友玛丽-安·蒂博（Marie-Anne Thiebaud）发生了外遇。
2011年，夏尼娅与弗雷德里克·蒂博结婚，他正是那位朋友的前夫，这对夫妇目前主要居住在瑞士。
她还涉足演艺，在2018年的剧情片《Trading Paint》中与约翰·特拉沃尔塔（John Travolta）相对演，完成了电影首秀，并在2020年的电影《I Still Believe》中饰演一名悲痛的母亲。现年60岁的她带着第七张录音室专辑《Little Miss Twain》回归，该专辑于上个月发行，是一张回归她加拿大童年乡村根源的唱片。
夏尼娅在谈到她重建的声音时说：“我永远无法找回原来的声音了。但我对此并不在意。我找到了一个新的声音。而且我很喜欢它。”
她激励了新一代的艺术家。乡村歌手奥维尔·佩克（Orville Peck）在她的电影《Not Just a Girl》中说：“当我还是个孩子的时候，她透过立体声传达出的声音让我感到安全。”
哈里·斯泰尔斯（Harry Styles）是另一位粉丝。他请求她通过电话祝他的母亲生日快乐，因为他的母亲是用夏尼娅的音乐抚养他长大的。
她说：“我给她打了电话并祝她生日快乐。从那时起，哈里和我就成了朋友。”
上个月，当她的朋友泰勒·斯威夫特在纽约结婚时，她正身在伦敦，为哈里在温布利球场连续12晚的演出担任开场嘉宾。
但她错过这个大日子是可以被原谅的——因为泰勒是她最大的粉丝之一，这种崇拜由来已久。
在两人初次见面后写的一篇2008年博客文章中，36岁的泰勒透露在见到她的偶像时她被迷住了，她说：“夏尼娅·特温，也就是我最初想要从事这一行的原因。夏尼娅·特温，也就是乡村音乐史上最令人印象深刻、最独立、最自信且最成功的女性艺术家。她走向我，说她想见我，并告诉我我做得很好。”
“伙计们，她太美了。她真的就那么美。”
“一直以来，我完全被她的光芒掩盖了。”
“在她走开后，我意识到我没带相机。然后我哭了。”

SpaceX Falcon 9 火箭发射
时速 5,400 英里 SpaceX 火箭“撞击月球”
据信，埃隆·马斯克旗下 SpaceX 公司的一枚火箭已撞击月球表面。
专家表示，此次撞击将留下一个 90 英尺宽的陨石坑，碎片将散布在表面，可能给未来的探险活动带来问题。
据称，这枚 SpaceX 火箭于昨日上午以每小时 5,400 英里的速度撞击月球。
它是 Falcon 9 火箭的末级，重四吨，长 39 英尺——相当于一座 5 层楼的高度。
专家敦促航天公司在对待月球表面时应更加谨慎。
莱斯特大学的汉娜·塞金特（Hannah Sergeant）表示：“随机向月球发送碎片并不是一件好事。这不应该是我们习惯去做的事情。如果它击中了具有特殊意义的地点怎么办？如果它损坏了历史上的

阿波罗登月舱怎么办？”Fifth Star Labs 的天文学家詹妮弗·米拉德（Jennifer Millard）表示：“这次碰撞为那里正在发生的事情敲响了警钟。
“我们正处于第二个太空时代的黎明，几年后，宇航员的想法是回到月球并长期驻留。这不再是我们在阿波罗时代那种‘几天短途旅行’。
“想象一下，如果一个失控的火箭残骸击中了载人月球基地。”
剑桥大学的天文学家马特·博斯韦尔（Matt Bothwell）博士表示，虽然这次碰撞是一次“在月球上进行的小巧而整洁的实验”，但他也警告说，太空碎片（在地球轨道上运行的人造物体）正变得越来越多，太空正变得日益拥挤。
他补充道：“在未来几十年内，由于太空过于拥挤，可能很难穿过地球轨道。这被称为太空碎片，我们绝对应该对此感到担忧。”
当 SpaceX 在 2025 年发射这枚火箭时，由于携带两个月球着陆器前往月球，重型载荷需要比平时更大的推力。这导致火箭在太空中失控漂浮，最终进入一个使其与月球相撞的轨道。
SpaceX 的 NASA 科学与 Dragon 项目主管朱莉安娜·谢曼（Julianna Scheiman）表示，火箭的路径是由太阳活动和引力共同作用的结果，而非计划中的机动。
火箭击中了月球面向地球的西缘爱因斯坦陨石坑附近，据称撞击威力相当于 15,000 根炸药棒。NASA 的科学家希望在接下来的 24 小时内获得某种撞击的照片或物理证据。

天？

那是 25 年前，一款古怪的英国汽车——该国最受欢迎的三轮车——最后一次走下生产线……Reliant Robin 曾享有超过二十年的销售人气，赢得了一大批粉丝。
车主们喜爱 Robin 低廉的运行成本，但狂热的拥趸们却不得不忍受不断的嘲讽，包括来自英国广播公司《Top Gear》节目中杰里米·克拉克森（Jeremy Clarkson）之类的人，嘲笑他们开着一头“塑料猪”。
它名声在外，有时被视为笑话，但许多爱好者仍然深情地看待它。
在写一本关于 Reliant Robin 历史的书时，我见到了创造其简洁原始造型的人——工业设计师汤姆·卡伦（Tom Karen），他在 89 岁时仍对其充满眷恋。他说：“我对那辆车相当自豪。在设计方面，对于它是三轮车这一事实，没有必要掩饰。
“尽管它是一款配备四缸发动机的四座车，但它的重量仍必须低于 8cwt (64st)。而这需要大量的创新。”
他说：“玻璃掀背门是我的主意。这是一个简洁的设计，而且因为使用了平板玻璃，制造费用非常低。在 Reliant 公司，每一样东西都必须是他们能弄到的最便宜的物品，但这正是挑战的一部分。”
Reliant Robin 如此出名，以至于其他三轮车经常被误认为它是。在《憨憨三人组》（Only Fools and Horses）中，佩卡姆的倒爷德尔·博伊（Del Boy）开的那辆黄色面包车实际上是一辆 Reliant Supervan。
就像在《憨豆先生》中，罗温·艾金森驾驶着一辆绿色 Mini 时经常感到沮丧的 Reliant 一样。
Robin 的根源可以追溯到 1935 年的斯塔福德郡，当时摩托车工程师汤姆·威廉姆斯在塔姆沃思一个废弃的巴士车库里工作，制造出了他的第一辆 Reliant 三轮货车。
它不过是一个金属盒子，前面突出一个摩托车前轮，价格仅为 £84，因其实用且运行成本低廉，证明对数以千计的个体经营者具有不可抗拒的吸引力。
1953 年，汤姆推出了他的第一款乘客
ROCKIN' ROBIN
M6公路上的Robin，右上及下方为广告，右侧为在英国广播公司《Top Gear》节目中被改装成会翻车的车型
这款三轮车离开生产线已过去 25 年
他自己制造的这款车，后座可以容纳两名成年人和两名小孩。虽然缺乏豪华感，但它提供了可靠的家庭出行方式，且油耗极低。
1956, 一款 MkIII 版本引入了由一种新型轻质神奇材料——玻璃纤维制成的轿车车身。
与所有 Reliant 三轮车一样，其空车重量不得超过 64st，约 406kg。尽管它拥有正常的方向盘和四个座位，但 Reliant 隐藏着一个不可告人的秘密——在法律上它根本不是一辆汽车。
它是一辆三轮车，这意味着车主只需支付摩托车道路税，并且持有摩托车驾照即可驾驶 Reliant。数以千计的前摩托车骑手——在他们结婚生子后——无需参加汽车驾驶考试或佩戴安全头盔，就能升级到更实用的车型。
这在 50 年代是一个非常有吸引力的主张，销量随之激增。Reliant 的成功在 60 年代得以延续，其后来的 Regal 3 / 25 销量超过 100,000 辆。
Robin 在 1973, 成为了 Regal 的继任者，采用了时尚的新外观和玻璃后掀背门。在与今天类似的生存成本危机中，售价 £801 的 非常合理，因为在 40mph 的稳定时速下，一加仑汽油可以行驶 70 英里。
少了一个需要更换的轮胎，且摩托车税收优惠依然存在。然而，尽管销售开局强劲，但 1978 年的一场丑闻让 从巅峰跌落。如果
小心驾驶，这辆车几乎没有翻车的可能。
但 的转向系统可能会出现缺陷，导致螺栓脱落，使其无法控制。
消费者协会的《Which?》杂志以及英国广播公司的《That's Life!》节目对此的曝光带来了糟糕的负面宣传，导致客户望而却步。
该车随后在 1982. 被重新命名为 Rialto。公司每周仍能销售 40 辆车。但这与 在 70 年代每周 330 辆的巅峰时期相比，已相形见绌。 这个名字在 1989 年被重新启用，三轮车一直生产到 2001. 年。随后，在经历了数次破产后，Reliant 这个品牌消失了。
我曾经决定尝试买一辆，在一家在线销售网站上发现了一辆 1992 年的 ，并以 £150. 的价格买下。
因为钥匙丢了，我一直没能把它发动起来。
然而，在几个周末的清理过程中，我对它的钦佩与厌恶程度相当。在以下方面确实体现了独创性：

其所有配件，例如薄如纸的座椅和单把雨刷，都被用来将其控制在法律规定的重量限制之内。
另一方面，除了去当地商店购物，任何其他用途都会让它变得不舒服。
而且由于车身外壳与一个大型人造黄油桶没什么区别，想到哪怕是一次轻微的事故都会让我打冷战。在我的车库里放了几个月后，我以 £400. 的价格把它卖了。在我拥有过的数十辆经典车中，它是唯一一辆真正让我获利的车！
Elvis Payne 是 Reliant 汽车俱乐部的创始人，该俱乐部今年庆祝成立 10 年，拥有全球会员。他说，如果状况良好，这些车现在价值 £2,000-£2,500。
他解释道：“我拥有过好几辆，它绝对是一款实用的日常用车。目前路上仍有几千辆。不过，我认为擅长 DIY 会有帮助，因为你确实需要对它们进行微调才能维持运行。”
遗憾的是， 在 2001 年消失了，因为它的成本变得太高，每辆车最高耗资 £10,000。
E
LVIS 表示：“它是手工制造的，公司无法以人们能负担得起的价格制造这些汽车。
“而且，实际的客户市场正在萎缩。70mpg 的燃油经济性不再是一个优势。如今大多数普通汽车都能轻松达到这个水平。
“不幸的是，我认为它的时代已经结束了，尤其是如今电动微型车的激增。”
但汽车设计师 Andy Plumb 在 90 年代后期被雇佣为 Robin 进行最后一次全面的重新设计，他也曾为 Morgan 研发三轮跑车，他认为回归基础的 Reliant 现在可能拥有光明的未来。
他表示：“最初的 Robin 是产品设计的杰作。它具有许多有趣且前卫的特点。
“两类三轮布局各自具有极强的能力。
“Morgan 的蝌蚪式布局（tadpole layout）后轮单轮，具有运动感和动态感；而 Reliant 的三角布局（delta layout）前轮单轮，则非常实用。
“这就是为什么我认为新款 Robin 在当今社会依然具有相关性，它应该回归其根源，作为一种本地或‘最后一公里’的配送车，而不是作为一辆家庭用车。”
另一辆 Robin 面包车出现在 2015 年的电影《面包车里的女人》（The Lady in the Van）中，由玛吉·史密斯饰演一名古怪的养老金领取者，她住在作家艾伦·本内特车道上的一辆旧 Bedford 面包车里，但使用一辆 Robin 作为她的代步车。
这是一个完美且古怪的选择。

159 个中心
将陆续启用 提供 24 / 7 全天候 心理健康护理
由 HANNA GEISSLER 报道 健康编辑
政府表示，心理健康状况不佳的人将能够在 100 个新的社区中心寻求快速帮助。
这些站点提供来自广泛专业团队的无需转诊的直接就诊支持。
它们旨在防止人们达到危机临界点。
还将开设约 59 个专门的心理健康急诊部门，以防止需要紧急护理的人在急诊室（A&E）花费数小时。
这些部门位于急诊科内，将提供一个平静的环境，让患者能够被快速评估。
部长们称这次耗资 £3.53 亿 的部署是代际以来心理健康服务规模最大的重新设计。
至关重要
首相安迪·伯纳姆表示：“不应让任何人独自在心理健康问题中挣扎。但数以千计的人在等待数月寻求帮助，然后发现唯一向他们敞开的大门是繁忙的急诊室（A&E）。
“这些新中心将成为许多人的生命线。它们将使 NHS 服务更贴近家庭，使人们在问题恶化之前更容易获得支持，并确保处于危机中的人们在正确的地方获得正确的护理。”
对心理健康服务的需求急剧增加，据估计，英格兰有 940 万 人——即五分之一的人——受到常见心理健康状况的影响。
最近一项针对 2,000 名成年人的 NHS 调查发现，几乎五分之三患有 PTSD、焦虑症和 OCD 等疾病的人延迟寻求

支持。此次推广是在六个试点中心取得成功之后进行的。
中心里的心理健康专家将与全科医生（GP）、议会、志愿组织和家庭共同工作，并与住房和就业支持建立直接联系。
首批站点将于今年秋季开放，更多站点将于 2027 年 3 月起陆续开放。
其中一些将是新建设施，而另一些将设在图书馆、银行和商业街地点。
Rethink Mental Illness 的副首席执行官布莱恩·道对该计划表示欢迎。他表示：

患者可以一次性解决多个问题
《每日快报》去年 9 月访问了位于东伦敦的 Barnsley Street 社区心理健康中心。
一名在自杀企图和酒精依赖挣扎后接受护理的患者将其描述为“避风港”。
在住院期间，James, 28, 面临选择：要么独自回家，要么进入精神科病房。
相反，来自 Barnsley Street 的工作人员介入并为他提供了中心的一个房间，在那里他可以独立生活，且在需要时工作人员随时在身边。
詹姆斯此前曾分别与心理健康、认知行为疗法、焦虑和酒精服务团队联系。在中心，他能够与多位专家坐在一起处理重叠的问题。Barnsley Street 的临床负责人、顾问精神科医生 Sheraz Ahmad 博士（左图）表示，这种步行进入的枢纽模式与通常碎片化的当地服务截然不同。
他补充道：“我们试图消除所有碎片化，这样我们就不会在转诊后让人们等待八周才收到回复，然后需要另一次预约并不得不重复讲述整个故事。我们希望尝试建立一种关系。
“你会了解他们，而他们也可以开始稍微信任你。”
“每个人都应该能够在自己的社区中，在需要的时间和地点获得心理健康支持。社区心理健康中心的扩建是使这一目标成为现实的关键一步，这建立在现有试点站点的良好结果之上。”
危机
“通过将治疗和更广泛的支持服务整合在同一个屋檐下，这些中心可以改变护理体验，帮助人们更早地获得支持，并防止他们达到危机点。”NHS 心理健康、学习障碍和神经发育状况国家优先计划主任 Nick Broughton 博士表示：“NHS 团队已经在努力提供更贴近人们居住地的心理健康支持，同时为需要更紧急帮助的人提供专业护理。
“更多社区心理健康中心和专用心理健康急诊部门的推广将在此工作基础上进一步推进。
“这将加强社区的早期支持和对危机人群的护理，同时帮助各项服务围绕人们的需求更有效地协作。”

价值 £750,000 的威士忌收藏品在改造的猪圈中出售
比尔·加拉特与收藏品
一名退休农民正准备以 £750,000. 的价格出售英国最大的威士忌收藏品之一——他将其保存在一个改造的猪圈里。
比尔·加拉特，81, 花了四十年时间收集了 5,000 多瓶威士忌，包括可追溯到 1800 年代的稀有品种，以及数千件与苏格兰威士忌相关的纪念品。
这位养老金领取者的收藏规模之大，以至于他被迫将其存储在贝德福德郡雷文斯登一个长 100 英尺且配备安保系统的改造猪圈中。他的珍宝包括

1,800 瓶单一麦芽威士忌、1,800 瓶迷你瓶以及约 500 瓶调和威士忌，其中部分酒瓶价值超过 £6,000.
这位有两个孙子的老人最喜欢的是 18 年的麦卡伦，他说他是在一个朋友送他一瓶威士忌后偶然开始收藏的。
他补充道：“我在家里存到了 1,000 瓶，我的妻子对此感到有点厌烦。我们有一些旧猪圈，我改造了两个。如果不是因为年龄原因，我不会出售这些。我想把它传给其他人享受。”

泽连斯基请求更多帮助
弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基昨日呼吁盟友紧急提供更好的防御设施，此前俄罗斯再次造成 17 人死亡，50 多人受伤。
克里姆林宫的导弹和无人机猛攻袭击了基辅及其周边地区，而乌克兰的防空系统则处于极度暴露的状态。
据信，泽连斯基总统的部队已经用完了美国制造的爱国者导弹，这是唯一能够击落杀害平民的弹道武器的武器。
泽连斯基先生昨日表示：“至关重要的一点是，我们的合作伙伴必须意识到，交付的延迟或提供反弹道系统的不情愿，正是导致此类可怕伤亡和破坏的原因。”
“那些现在不能更积极地帮助供应拦截弹的合作伙伴，可以通过实施新的制裁来提供帮助。”
作者：克里斯·休斯 (CHRIS HUGHES)
周二晚上的袭击是今年最残酷的攻势之一。袭击集中在乌克兰首都及其周边地区，随着炸弹和无人机倾泻在平民目标上，夜空中响起了 30 多次爆炸声。
就在基辅准备应对更多攻击时，一名俄罗斯无人机百万富翁昨日在一次汽车炸弹袭击中受伤，目前正在为生存而战。执行官弗拉基米尔·特卡丘克 (Vladimir Tkachuk)，35 岁，在叶卡捷琳堡东南部的一辆梅赛德斯-奔驰汽车下方安装的装置爆炸后受重伤，其保镖被杀。俄罗斯警方和安全

向盟友
发出呼吁
部门已展开搜捕，寻找任何参与此次在距离乌克兰边境 1,000 多英里处发生的爆炸事件的人员。
特卡丘克是近期一系列因参与战争而成为目标的俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京关联人士中的最新一名。
受害者
与此同时，乌克兰使用深击无人机袭击了另一家俄罗斯大型 Wildberries 门店。针对这家电子商务门店的袭击击中了俄罗斯图拉地区的站点，此前基辅指责该公司向军方供应物资。
俄罗斯对基辅及更广泛地区的袭击导致建筑物起火。昨晚人们担心受害者可能仍被困在建筑物下方。
在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普退出关于帮助生产爱国者导弹的承诺后，泽连斯基先生试图保持外交姿态。爱国者 PAC-3 系统目前是唯一能够可靠拦截俄罗斯 Iskander-M 弹道导弹的武器。
俄罗斯导弹携带的弹头威力足以摧毁公寓大楼的大部分区域。随着普京对该国的入侵显示出动摇迹象，他下令对乌克兰平民释放恐怖袭击。
泽连斯基先生最近透露，他的部队拥有视频证据，证明俄罗斯仅在 7 月份就因无人机袭击损失了 30,727 名军事人员。
上个月，特朗普先生承诺将进一步帮助乌克兰，并保证：“我们将给予他们制造爱国者导弹的权利。我们将向他们展示如何操作。”但几周后，他似乎有所退缩，表示：“我们还没有同意这一点。我们正在讨论，但提供这种技术是一件困难的事情。”
看，是一只神奇的小雏鸡！
切斯特动物园（Chester Zoo）有五只来自一种濒危非洲猛禽的小雏鸡孵化成功。
这些雏鸟是该园 95 年历史上首次成功培育的秘书鸟。环保人士称这一成就是一个重要的里程碑，可能会改变该物种的繁育工作。
人们希望这次突破性的到来能有助于确保这种受威胁鸟类的未来。
这些雏鸡的父母是约翰（John）和乔安（Joiane），它们作为一项国际保护繁育计划的一部分来到这家位于切舍尔（Cheshire）的景点。在整个欧洲计划中，仅有 79 只鸟，且在过去一年中，其他地方仅有三只雏鸡孵化。
饲养员认为，在切斯特开发的技巧现在可以帮助其他动物园提高繁育成功率。
切斯特动物园鸟类负责人安德鲁·欧文（Andrew Owen）表示：“在保护性动物园中孵化的每一只雏鸡，对于这个非凡物种的未来都变得越来越重要。随着五只新雏鸡的出现，我们在这些不可思议的鸟类的保护中发挥着主导作用。”

这是一项融合了网球和壁球特点、正在席卷英国的球拍运动……随着英国首场职业板式网球（padel）锦标赛在伦敦奥林匹亚展馆开幕，多米尼克·布利斯（DOMINIC BLISS）来到场边见证其魅力
现在是西伦敦的盛夏，奥林匹亚展览中心的 Grand Hall 响彻着球拍击球的声音，其间穿插着观众热烈的掌声。但这里打的不是网球。而是一项完全不同的球拍运动——一种名为板式网球（padel）的西班牙进口运动。
这是 Premier Padel，全球顶级的职业板式网球巡回赛。最顶尖的球员们正在展示他们的技巧，其中大多数是西班牙人或拉丁美洲人，此外还有少数持有外卡参赛的英国人。
至关重要的是，这是精英板式网球锦标赛首次在英国举行。其正式名称为 London Premier Padel P1——这标志着这项运动目前正处于怎样的繁荣之中。
根据其管理机构的数据，英国目前有 100 万名业余板式网球玩家，而 2019. 年仅为 15,000 名。在全国各地，分布着约 2,000 个球场，遍布 600 多个不同场馆——从巨大的室内仓库、高端私人俱乐部到公园和休闲中心内的露天球场。
得益于一些严肃的蓝筹股投资和令人瞩目的名人背书——包括法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙、足球运动员大卫·贝克汉姆、克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多和利昂内尔·梅西，演员汤姆·霍兰德、安东尼奥·班德拉斯和伊娃·朗格利亚，以及歌手夏奇拉和 Enrique Iglesias——这项运动已在国际上站稳了脚跟。
英国说唱歌手 Stormzy 甚至投资了一个名为 Padel Social Club 的伦敦俱乐部网络。在俱乐部成立时他表示：“板式网球不仅仅是另一项运动。它有一种能吸引所有人的特质，无论你是初学者，还是像我一样已经着迷的人。”
对于一项仅在 20 世纪 60 年代后期被发明，且最初在西班牙语核心地区之外难以获得关注的运动来说，这一切都是极好的消息。但其迅速崛起的原因是什么？
板式网球在比网球场更小的区域内进行，中间拉着一张网，四周由玻璃和金属丝网墙环绕，玩法极其简单。在某种程度上，它是网球和壁球的混合体，球网两侧各有一组双打队员，计分系统与网球相同。
球的压力比网球低，因此弹跳较慢，而球拍则更容易挥动。发球采用下抛式，并且像壁球一样，球在弹向后墙和侧墙后仍可击球。由于板式网球始终以双打形式进行，参赛者的覆盖场地空间要小得多。
网球初学者通常需要数周的练习才能完成一次像样的回合，而在板式网球中，只要具备基本的协调能力，几分钟内就能做到。
路易·哈里斯（Louie Harris），24, 是英国排名第二的男子球员。他原籍卡迪夫，现居伦敦，他
板网球 (PADEL)
以外卡身份在奥林匹亚参赛。“这是一项一旦尝试就会爱上的运动，”他说，“它是一项新运动，很时髦，很有趣。它非常亲民，非常容易上手。无论你处于什么年龄，或者身体素质是否是最强的，其实都没有关系。”
“在业余水平上，它的规模巨大。这就是为什么这么多人能如此轻易地入迷。”
Minter Dial 是一家名为《板网球之乐》(The Joy of Padel) 播客的主持人，并且自 1974 年起就开始打球。他强调这项运动的社交属性有多强。
“球场上的球员之间距离很近，所以你有能力一直与所有四个人交谈，”他说，“它不像高尔夫球俱乐部那样必须保持安静并遵守所有规则。”
“很多板网球场甚至会播放音乐。所以这里有一种活力，一种天然的西班牙风情。这项运动的第一条规则就是享受乐趣。”
由于全英国仅有 600 个比赛场地，场地租赁费用可能高得惊人。例如，位于伦敦金丝雀码头的 Padium 每小时收费高达 £100。在首都北部的 Padelhub，最高价格为每小时 £80。在国家的其他地区，价格并不总是这么贵。
Tom Murray 曾是一名英国国家队球员，现在是该运动管理机构——草地网球协会 (Lawn Tennis Association) 的板网球负责人。意识到部分场地费用可能过高，他与当地

当局合作，鼓励安装新球场。
“这个国家有很多繁琐的程序——建筑法规、规划申请等等——而且这些程序是有正当理由的，”这位 44 岁的男子说道，“但随着板网球变得更加知名，我认为这些（建设）障碍正在减少。”
然而，他渴望避免几年前在瑞典发生的那种繁荣与崩溃的情况，当时那里建造了数千个板网球场，导致出现了大量闲置设施。从那时起，许多瑞典球场被拆除并移至其他国家。
“瑞典发生的繁荣与崩溃其实是塞翁失马，焉知非福，”Murray 解释道，“正因如此，这里的增长将会更加可持续。我们的增长速度较慢。”与网球、壁球和羽毛球等更成熟的球拍运动不同，板网球是一个相对的新面孔。
早在 1969 年，一位名叫 Enrique Corcuera 的墨西哥商人首次发明了它——“padel”这个词在西班牙语中意为球拍，即所使用的那种带孔球拍的名称。
他想要一种可以在他位于阿卡普尔科度假屋后花园里玩的球拍运动。但由于空间有限，他不得不将球场保持在较小规模。周围增加了围墙以
防止球滚到邻居的房产中。
Corcuera 的发明从墨西哥首先移植到西班牙，然后传遍欧洲和拉丁美洲。
直到 2005 年才建立了第一个职业联赛。如今，这项运动由 Premier Padel 巡回赛主导，但它在培养西班牙语或葡萄牙语世界之外的顶尖球员方面仍然较为困难。
西班牙人和阿根廷人主导着世界排名，因此在男女两项的前 30 名中，只有四名球员来自其他国家——两名巴西人，一名葡萄牙人和一名意大利人。
但英国人终于开始崭露头角，这得益于一个在培养网球运动员方面已有非常成功记录的管理机构。目前世界排名 101 位的 34 岁 Aimee Gibson 也在奥林匹亚参赛。
“我们绝对需要更多的教练，”她说。“更多拥有青少年学院的俱乐部——这将有助于我们培养青少年球员。因为目前，[青少年]可能不得不前往西班牙，以便跟随最好的教练并与最好的球员一起训练。但现在是英国板式网球（padel）令人兴奋的时刻。”
在奥林匹亚大厅（Olympia's Grand Hall）的筒形拱顶之下，这种兴奋之情表现得最为明显。当艾米（Aimee）在与记者交谈时，就在附近的中心球场上，西班牙-意大利组合大卫·加拉（David Gala）和恩佐·詹森·西尔文特（Enzo Jensen Sirvent）正在击溃西班牙-阿根廷组合帕布罗·加西亚（Pablo Garcia）和莱昂内尔·丹尼尔·阿吉雷（Leonel Daniel Aguirre）。诚然，看台仅坐了不到四分之一，气氛相当沉闷，但英国球迷们正见证着在这些海滩上罕见的高质量板式网球比赛。
在相邻的国家大厅（National Hall）里还有三个比赛球场，有更多西班牙语系国家的球员在竞争。在大厅的其他地方则是练习场和销售板式网球服装及设备的商业摊位。
不过，最受欢迎的是一个微型球场，观众可以在那里亲自尝试这项运动。
汤姆·默里（Tom Murray）坚信板式网球将进一步增长，尤其是它在预期中完成奥运首秀之后。他说，现实地看，这可能会在 2036 年奥运会上实现，而该届奥运会的举办城市尚未决定。
“它正朝着成为奥运项目的方向发展。每个人都非常乐观，”他说。“但我认为它必须进一步增长，并在更多地方开展。”
鉴于业余板式网球在整个英国的普及程度，也许我们最终能成为表现出色的国家之一。但首先，我们需要我们的球员突破该运动的顶尖阶层。目前，我们最成功的球员是凯瑟琳·罗斯（Catherine Rose），她是唯一一名排名世界前 100 的英国人；而排名第 97 位，也仅仅是勉强进入。
回到奥林匹亚，英国球员路易·哈里斯（Louie Harris）对他和同胞们的潜力持乐观态度。“没有理由不能在这里取得成功，”他说。“我真心希望如此。但这将需要更长的时间。”
伦敦 Premier Padel P1 将在伦敦奥林匹亚举行至周日；门票请见 premierpadel.com

总是摔掉 iPhone 或弄坏 MacBook？不必担心，苹果公司现在提供一项新计划，以减轻昂贵维修账单带来的忧虑
任何稍微容易发生意外的人肯定会想查看苹果公司的一项新服务。这家美国科技巨头终于向英国客户提供其 AppleCare One 订阅服务，只需支付单一的月费即可保护多台设备。
花费 £16.99，AppleCare One 最多可覆盖三台符合条件的设备，包括 iPhone、iPad、Mac 和 Apple Watch。
如果设备意外损坏、丢失或被盗，苹果将对其进行维修，或每年提供最多三台更换设备，且无需询问任何问题。
这项新服务建立在 AppleCare+ 基础之上，后者已经提供了无限次的意外损坏维修、电池服务以及 24 / 7 全天候优先访问英国苹果支持。最大的区别在于 AppleCare One 允许客户通过单一订阅保护多件产品，而无需支付多份独立计划的费用。
这不仅简化了流程，还能带来显著的节省。
苹果公司表示，覆盖一台 iPhone、一台 iPad 和一只 Apple Watch 的用户每月可节省高达 £11.48。另一个主要优势是您不需要购买新设备即可享受此优惠。该公司表示，只要设备状况良好，最高四年前的符合条件设备也可以添加到该计划中。
这比购买手机或笔记本电脑后购买 AppleCare+ 的通常 60 天窗口期有了巨大提升。
新计划在用户升级时也会随之调整。因此，当将旧设备折抵换购苹果公司的新产品时，该产品会自动被移除，而新产品会在无需任何额外麻烦的情况下添加到订阅中。
“在苹果，我们致力于创造并提供卓越的体验，”苹果全球产品营销副总裁 Bob Borchers 表示。
“通过 AppleCare One，英国客户现在可以以一种比以往更简单、更灵活的方式享受 AppleCare+ 的可靠保护——一个计划，一个价格，并能安心地知道他们所有符合条件的产品都能获得覆盖。”

星狐 (STAR FOX) 任天堂 Switch 2, £49.99)
传奇的《星狐》科幻系列回归任天堂最新的游戏机，其光鲜的新外观与经典的游戏玩法相结合，效果极佳。
原版游戏于 1993 年在 SNES 上推出，得益于当时全新的多边形图形技术，在当时的 3D 游戏领域引起了不小的轰动。
快进到 33 年后的今天，我们再次在 Switch 2 掌机上看到了这支由动物英雄组成的团队，在某种程度上像是抄袭《星球大战》的宇宙中进行新的太空战斗。
结果非常出色——它采用了我们在这款相对较新的游戏机上见过的最顶尖的图形效果，结合了瞬间可辨的游戏玩法，以及一个为您打造的精彩宇宙。
疯狂科学家安德罗斯 (Andross) 作为大反派回归，当然，狐狸英雄福克斯·麦克劳德 (Fox McCloud) 也回来了，这一次他拥有直接出自皮克斯风格电影的精致且详细的新过场动画。
《星球大战》的美学风格同样存在，因为您将驾驶被称为 Arwings 的 X 翼星际战机投入战斗。
当然，您基本上必须拯救宇宙。
游戏包含多种不同的模式，包括战役模式，在其中您完成的目标、击败的敌人以及采取的其他行动可以改变您的路线以及您在每个阶段所做的事情。
当您通过快速按键并组合技能来击败星舰大军时，操作感觉很直观，屏幕画面看起来极其流畅。
这是 Switch 2 游戏库的一个绝佳补充，也是游戏玩家的必买之作。

Motorola Edge 70 Max 带来了两个即使是其最大竞争对手目前也无法企及的突出特点——巨大的电池和超快速充电。
进入 Edge Max 的内部，您会发现一个巨大的 7,100mAh 硅碳电池，旨在让流媒体播放、游戏和滚动浏览在两次充电之间持续更长时间。
与大多数手机中发现的传统锂离子电池不同，硅碳技术在相同的空间内填充了更多能量，在不增加手机厚度或重量的情况下延长了寿命。
当电池最终电量不足时，摩托罗拉还有另一个绝招。将其插入电源，得益于 90W TurboPower 充电，电量将以极速提升。
摩托罗拉吹嘘这项技术在充电仅 6 分钟后即可提供足够支撑一整天的电量。
电池性能已经给 DXOMARK 的专家们留下了深刻印象，该机构授予 Edge 70 Max 其梦寐以求的电池寿命和充电金标。
除了电源性能，摩托罗拉还加入了大量旗舰功能。
该手机配备了一块锐利的 6.82 英寸 Quad HD+ (2K) 显示屏，而高通最新的骁龙 8 Gen 5 处理器为从高要求游戏到 AI 功能的所有内容提供动力。
Motorola Edge 70 Max 目前在英国售价为 £699.99。
GTA6 销售额
游戏大作《侠盗猎车手 6》(Grand Theft Auto 6) 预计在上市第一周将产生高达 £38.5 亿美元 的惊人销售额。
分析师表示，这款即将推出的关于枪械与帮派的大作在美国和五个最大的欧洲市场已获得约 1.8亿美元 (£1.35 亿) 的数字预订。
专家认为，这预示着全球范围内将出现创纪录的销售额，因为游戏玩家们正为了抢购 2013 年动作大作 GTA5 的这款备受期待的续作而展开竞争。
这款计划于 11 月 19, 仅在 PlayStation 5 和 Xbox Series X 及 S 上推出的游戏，很可能是史上最昂贵的游戏，据估计母公司 Take-Two 至今已花费 10亿美元 到 £15 亿美元 之间 (£7.7 亿 到 £1350 亿美元)。

此外还推出了售价 £46,495 的 Black Noble 等级，采用黑色外观饰面，并将镀铬件替换为更深色的元素。该车继续使用插电式混合动力方案——一台 1.5 升涡轮增压汽油发动机搭配一个 34.46kWh 的大容量电池。它还具备对外供电 (V2L) 技术，因此你可以为电水壶或气泵等外部设备供电。
所有车辆均提供七年或 100,000 英里的保修。两种版本现均可订购。

女士们，先生们，请起立一分钟默哀，以纪念一位老朋友，这位朋友在过去曾给在座的老摩托车手们带来了无数小时的沮丧，但在近年来已达到了如此完美的巅峰，以至于现在看来它似乎不能陪伴我们太久，这显得既悲哀又讽刺。
我指的是离合器，因为在骑行了配备本田新 e-clutch 的 Hornet 之后，我担心在全国各地，摩托车手们将开始看着自己的左手，挠挠头，并想知道它们是干什么用的——我是指他们的左手，而不是他们的头，因为摩托车手大多是男人，他们不用脑子。
总之，我说到哪里了？啊是的，Hornet，这个名字可以追溯到 20 世纪 90 年代的 CB600F。
在 2023 年，它变成了一款 755cc 的并列双缸车，但坚持了同样成功的公式：一款有趣且价格实惠的裸街车。
而且它确实成功了——从那时起，它成为了欧洲最成功的中量级裸车之一，销量超过 42,000 辆。
那么为什么要改变一个成功的公式呢？嗯，简单的回答是本田并没有改变。在美学上，唯一的改变是重新设计的头灯周围区域，配合这款车的纤细腰线和圆润油箱，使其看起来就像一只大黄蜂，尤其是在黄色配色方案中。
因此，与 2023 年那款车的唯一显著区别就是 e-clutch。正如我在对 Transalp 的评论中所说，这是一个天才之作，让您全天停止、启动和骑行而无需触碰离合器，其速度、效果和流畅度远超快排系统，即使是最好的快排在低档位低转速时也从未表现良好。它如此轻松，以至于很容易让人以为自己在骑一辆自动挡车，就像在
[...OMITTED...]
许多人可能会为传统离合器的消亡而感到惋惜，但 GEOFF HILL 发现本田 CB750 Hornet 配备的电子离合器简直完美
本田的 DCT 系统自 2012 年的 VFR1200F 起已搭载于多款车型。
然而，即便你是个彻头彻尾的笨蛋，在红灯前停下时挡位过高，那个小巧的 TFT 屏幕上也会闪烁一个 V 形标志，礼貌地提醒你仍需使用左脚减挡至一挡。
坏消息是，起初我认为这套系统更适合 216kg 的 Transalp，而非 196kg 的 Hornet。
如果后者是一个人，那他一定是那种坐立不安、手指敲击、膝盖抖动，急于出发的激进之辈。
在道路上，凭借其轻量化、17 英寸的轮圈（相比 Transalp 的 18 英寸后轮和 21 英寸前轮），以及 142cm 的轴距（相比 的 156cm），在葡萄牙发布会上穿梭于山路弯道的感觉，
更像是一场狂热的吉夫舞，而非更豪华、更舒适的 那样优雅的华尔兹。
即使在标准模式下，电子离合器的顺滑程度也不如 ，而运动模式则让加速感觉更像是一个开关。
但随后奇怪的事情发生了。我开始习惯这辆车渴望冲刺的灵活性。
由于 重量更大且风阻更高，超车意味着需要减一两个挡，而 Hornet 则能以毫不费力的从容姿态轻快地超越视线中的一切。
随后，早晨的倾盆大雨停了，阳光洒下，我度过了辉煌的最后一小时，在山峦与大海之间俯冲穿梭，耳边是那台极品发动机的轰鸣，心中有歌，脸上带笑。
因此，虽然计划长时间骑行的身材较高骑手会更倾向于 ，但 Hornet 依然提供了其一贯的灵活且实惠的乐趣，而那神奇的电子离合器则是额外的加分项。
更棒的是，它仅在基础车型之上增加了 4kg 的重量和 £100 的价格，这让选择变得无需思考。
价格也很公道——比 Triumph Trident 660, Yamaha MT-07 和 Suzuki GXX-8S 都要便宜，而这三款车都没有那个改变游戏规则的电子离合器。
现在我唯一需要思考的是，我的左手该做什么。
噢，我知道了——挠挠头，然后喝啤酒，当然不能同时进行。

今日精选
FAKE OR FORTUNE BBC1, 晚上8点
RENOVATION RESCUE, CX, 晚上8点
寡妇艺术家 Penny 认为她在萨塞克斯海岸购买的这栋中间排屋是重新开始生活的完美之地。需要稍微修整吗？当然不需要！它需要大量修整。
但一名建筑商给她报了一个她可以接受的价格，并向她保证将在七个月内将其改造完成。十八个月后，它确实看起来不同了，但并非以一种好的方式。在经历了如此糟糕的经历后，Penny 显然对 Renovation Rescue 的 Vogue 和 Luke 的到来感到高兴。尤其是后者。“你很英俊，”她告诉他——并迅速补充道：“没关系，你对我来说太年轻了。”
CORNWALL: A YEAR BY THE SEA, S, 晚上8点
MATT Smith 曾在九小时内剪了 731 只羊。也就是说每 44 秒剪一只。
更令人印象深刻的是，他甚至不是那个曾在 Tardis 中穿梭于时间和空间的 Matt Smith。
如果那是那个拥有两颗心脏和音速起子（sonic screwdriver）的 Smith，我会想，“是的，典型。真是爱显摆。”
但不是，这个 Smith 是一位定居在康沃尔的新西兰人。今晚你可以在皇家康沃尔展（The Royal Cornwall Show）上看到这位世界纪录保持者 展示他的绝活，在那里剪羊毛是一件大事。另外，你知道每天剪 250 只羊消耗的热量与跑一场马拉松一样多吗？现在你知道了。
最佳犯罪喜剧
BENIDORM IS MURDER S, WW
当 Laughter Lounge 的一个夜晚出现差错时，Dennis 和 Rosa 被重新卷入贝尼多姆混乱的犯罪世界。主演为 John Hannah 和 Denise Welch。
这是一场伟大的英国伪作大赛
告诉我，如果你有 £7500 万 的闲钱（也许你真的有，我不应该凭空假设，对吧？），你会把它花在什么地方？一艘超级游艇？一架私人飞机？一名英超联赛前锋？或者，我不知道，也许是大量的大量糖果和汽水？多到能让你肚子疼得厉害。随你选择。
如果你问我同样的问题——我知道你没问，但请配合我——那么我可以告诉你一件我绝对不会把那种数额的钱挥霍掉的事情，那就是买画。
不是因为我不热爱绘画，而是因为我不是疯子。
Seventy five million quid 买一幅画简直是疯了。然而，正如菲奥娜·布鲁斯在本周的《真伪之争》（Fake Or Fortune）中提醒我们的（我说“提醒”，就好像我之前对此有过哪怕一点点意识一样），在 2022 年的一场纽约拍卖会上，有人为了卢西安·弗洛伊德的一件名为《大型室内，W11》（Large Interior, W11）的艺术品支付了这个金额，或其等值的美元。
诚然，就绘画而言，这幅画很大，面积接近 40 平方英尺。如果它的尺寸只有这个大小的十分之一，那么买家也许可以用十分之一的价格买到它。但随后，蒙娜丽莎的尺寸几乎小 10 倍，而显然那价值数十亿。这一切都毫无道理。
总之，重点是，即使你拥有一件弗洛伊德相对低调且不张扬的作品，你可能依然坐拥一大笔钱。
如果你拥有好几件，就像我们今晚遇到的那些家伙一样，那么……叮当响！或者至少潜在地叮当响，因为你首先需要说服一群专家，证明这些作品——在本例中，是 15 幅在车库中发现的未签名版画——是真迹。
正如我们每周在这档节目中被提醒的那样，艺术专家可能会非常挑剔，因此很令人头疼。但你必须听从他们的说法，因为他们最专业。
那么，今晚检查这些弗洛伊德蚀刻版画《带无花果叶的女孩》（Girl With Fig Leaf）的专家们，会给业主带来他们想听到的消息吗？如果如此，每件作品最高可拍得 £30,000.
这潜在地意味着 £450,000. 好吧，这不足以给他们买一名英超联赛前锋。但几乎足够支付他一周的工资。

绝不能提前释放杀人犯、强奸犯或恋童癖
我无法理解政府在提前释放计划上为何如此困惑。显然，简单的排除标准应该是：暴力犯罪，包括谋杀、误杀、袭击、共谋和帮凶；性虐待，包括强奸、共谋和帮凶；家庭虐待，包括暴力、非暴力、性虐待、跟踪和帮凶；以及虐待儿童，包括暴力、性虐待、非暴力、共谋和帮凶。
安迪·伯纳姆的政府是时候停止那些乐观轻快的公告，开始做出有意义的决定了。

信任法拉奇结束小船危机的路线图
奈杰尔·法拉奇揭晓了他的人道主义政策，旨在拯救海上生命，同时保护法国当地人免受移民犯罪浪潮的影响（“改革党关于海军阻止英吉利海峡危机的计划”，August 3）。移民将由海军或海军陆战队遣返回法国或比利时，并将建立医疗检查机制和联合军事指挥部，成员包括海军、海军陆战队、皇家空军和陆军部队。
奈杰尔正确地指出，这是一项人道主义任务，符合欧洲人权法院（ECHR）的规定，是解决移民危机的方案，且如他所言，此类任务“不违反海事法或国际法”。

法国警察在非法移民前往英国时密切监视
我们不能依赖法国守护边境
为了阻止小船跨境，我们已经向法国支付了近 £10 亿美元，然而他们的警察在海滩上观望，而他们的海军则护送船只进入英国领土（“如果什么都不做，你们还将冒多少生命风险？”，August 5）。
然而，问题要根本得多。它始于欧洲的外围边境，正如在休塔涌入期间所见，并因申根协定而恶化，该协定允许非法移民在欧洲大陆自由游荡。我们无法监管整个欧洲，但我们可以掌控自己的边境。
我们必须将英国的福利削减至绝对最低限度，停止将抵达者接送到港口，并立即遣返。最后，给法国设定严格的目标，否则完全停止我们的资助。

效仿西班牙，将移民遣返回国
我不认为奈杰尔·法拉奇立即遣返非法英吉利海峡移民的意图有问题，因为西班牙作为欧盟国家，可以立即驱逐 50,000 多名非法移民，那么有什么能阻止我们？
Colin Humphries,
汉普郡，林伍德
为了国家，让梦之队发挥作用
鲁珀特·洛给奈杰尔·法拉奇伸出的橄榄枝至关重要，但他们的个性可能会产生冲突（“洛采取行动结束法拉奇的领导”，August 3）。洛是一个安静、勤奋的人物，希望恢复这个国家的活力。法拉奇持有相似但没那么激进的观点，但更像一个表演者。但他们需要融合。两人都想要我们所有人想要的：一个符合常识的政府和正义。如果他们能结合在一起，将是无往不利的。
Ian Squires,
坎布里亚郡，贝克默特
高卢之怒！奈杰尔是想挑起战争吗？
所以，如果法国人试图拒绝接收被遣返的非法移民船只，奈杰尔·法拉奇就要派海军陆战队进去，对吧？
他有没有考虑到法国人也有海军陆战队？实际上有三支部队。如果爱丽舍宫决定他们不想要这些入侵者回来，我们是否可以期待自 August 7, 211 年前我们将“波拿巴”送去进行延长假期以来，与法国人的第一次枪战？
Mike MacRory-Wilson,
布莱顿
敲响战争鼓面是争取克拉克顿选票的竞选策略
部署皇家海军来阻止穿越英吉利海峡的行为，是奈杰尔·法拉奇为了在克拉克顿煽动选票而炒作的白日梦。
不堪重负的海军无法捞起那些宁愿冒死也不愿返回法国的移民。
而且法国将简单地拒绝让他们从英国军舰上离船，或者在稍后将其遣返。参与这样的战斗将招致整个欧盟对英国进口商品采取代价高昂的报复性关税。
距离下次大选还有数年，人数将会下降。随着本届政府证明自己更加务实，英国改革党的 bandwagon（追随之势）将会减速。到下次大选时，法拉奇甚至可能不在英国。

AI 迎来第一次“皇帝的新衣”式现实检查
早就该有个小男孩说出 AI 皇帝没穿衣服了。如果情况继续如此发展，它将继续消耗日益增加的土地、能源和投资（“数据中心大行军” August 4）——但为了什么？
AI 就像所有计算一样——甚至是量子计算——仅仅是由 0 和 1 组成的，在微秒内访问一个问题有记录的所有方面，并生成和分析每一种可能的方案以产生最佳解决方案——但没有一个原创想法。
没有政治哲学，没有宗教，没有体育，没有披头士，也没有西斯廷礼拜堂的米开朗基罗。

频繁出差的埃德应该成为团队协作的参与者以节省数百万资金
我想知道政府和公务员系统何时才能像我们其他的人一样进入 21 世纪，而不是如此频繁地飞往世界各地开会（“米利班德在美国面临冰冷的迎接”，August 5）。
埃德·米利班德和他的团队肯定可以被介绍使用 Teams，你知道的，这是一个微软程序……已经存在很长时间了，你可以在办公室开会，给纳税人带来的成本非常低。这将减轻我们纳税人的负担。这只是一个想法，但政府该面对现实了。

服务业就业人数下降 22 个月，情况“令人震惊”
尽管数据显示英国经济受益于增长的推动，但整个服务业的就业 slump 进一步加深。
标普全球 (S&P Global) 的研究人员显示，私营部门的就业人数已连续第 22 个月下降。
经济的整体采购经理人指数（企业表现的领先指标）7 月份为 52.2，高于 50 的中性分水岭（即活动无变化）。
服务业增长与裁员之间的反差反映了经济更广泛的转变，分析人士表示，与 2008 年金融危机和互联网泡沫破裂后的趋势相比，就业困境的持续时间更长。
标普总监 Tim Moore 表示：“活动的反弹和新业务的增加无法阻止员工人数的进一步下降，就业人数已连续第 22 个月下降。”
“当前就业人数下降的持续时间是 30 年数据收集记录中的共同纪录。”
影子商业大臣 Andrew Griffith 称这些数据“令人震惊”。他
作者：MAURICIO ALENCAR
补充道：“工党灾难性的《就业权利法》，加上就业税和商业税的上涨，已将企业推向绝境。服务业就业人数下降的持续时间为全球金融危机以来最长，这是对本届政府经济失败的沉痛控诉。”
官方数据显示，自工党当选以来，失业率已从 4.4% 跳升至 4.9%，这意味着约有 150,000 更多的人失业。
这不包括非活跃人口，例如进入教育阶段、退休或不寻求工作的人员。
对于雇员和求职者来说，较为令人欣慰的消息是，最近一个月裁员的幅度是 2025 年 10 月以来记录的最低水平。
数百家参与每月调查的公司表示，最近投入价格的上涨幅度远低于 4 月的峰值，并达到了五个月来的低点。
经济学家表示，英国的表现很大程度上取决于中东和平进程的结果。
热浪助力 Next 上调目标
Next 披露利润增长，股东有望获得回报
在轻松超过第二季度预期后，NEXT 上调了年度利润目标。
这家零售巨头将 2026 年的税前利润预期提高至 12.4 亿英镑 billion - 比之前的估计高出 £2500 万。
如果实现，该数字将标志着一年内 7.3% 的增长。该集团的总销售目标（包括降价和投资）也从 73亿英镑 上调至 75亿英镑。
第二季度英国销售额增长 2.8%，国际采购额激增近 37%。
这使得股东有望获得丰厚回报，因为 Next 提高了向投资者返还现金的目标，计划回购价值 5240 万英镑m 的自有股票。

安迪呼吁在避免垫底的苦战中展现坚毅与决心
作者：丹·汤姆林森 (DAN TOMLINSON)
赫尔足球俱乐部 (HULL FC) 本赛季可能会首次在超级联赛中垫底，主教练安迪·拉斯特 (Andy Last) 表示，只有通过艰苦努力才能阻止这种情况发生。
这支“黑白军团”目前正处于七连败之中，在赛季还剩六轮的情况下，他们与垫底的哈德斯菲尔德巨人队 (Huddersfield Giants) 仅差两分。
但拉斯特在今年执教的 13 场比赛中仅获得两场胜利，在今晚前往圣海伦斯 (St Helens) 的比赛前，他依然保持乐观，并有信心能带来一场出色的表现，最重要的是获得结果。
“我不担心垫底的前景，”拉斯特说。“这是我们目前所处情况的现实，但只有一种解决方法：艰苦努力和更好的表现。”
“球队已经证明了他们有能力赢得一些比赛，哈德斯菲尔德就是我们的榜样——只要赢得几场比赛，积分榜的情况就会大不相同，并且能提升整个俱乐部的氛围。”
“球员们意识到了这一点，并期待着（今晚的）比赛。”
拉斯特要求他的球队做出更好的选择，他很清楚他们需要在哪些方面提高。
他补充道：“上周的情况其实就是我们整个赛季的缩影——有些方面很好，
圣海伦斯 v 赫尔足球俱乐部
作者：罗宾·天空体育 (Robyn Sky Sports)
而有些方面则非常、非常糟糕。我们再次没能打好开局，在球场中路丢掉了简单的达阵，而且我们的码数防守再次不足。
“我们太容易被对方推进到球场前方，而且没能把握住关键时刻。”
“我们需要持续并建立压力，而不是给自己施压。我们允许对手在无需艰苦努力的情况下，对我们建立位置压力。所以这是一个我们需要改进的重点领域。”
“这完全取决于决策。我们让自己陷入了那种压力循环——也就是球队希望让你陷入的循环——而我们没有要求对方去建立那种压力。”
“我们通过一些低级的失误和一些低级的违例将机会拱手相让。这是我们的一个重点关注领域，就是更好地掌控自己的位置并建立更多压力。”
与此同时，拉斯特还将与两位非常熟悉的面孔正面交锋，这位临时主帅赞扬了哈里·罗伯逊 (Harry Robertson) 转任半卫的举动。
“我非常了解（圣海伦斯的教练）埃蒙·奥卡罗尔 (Eamon O'Carroll) 和李·布里尔斯 (Lee Briers)，”拉斯特补充道。“埃蒙曾在（赫尔）这里待过一段时间。”
“他是一位卓越的教练，也是一个很棒的人；至于李·布里尔斯，我在英格兰队时与他共事过，所以我知道他在技术层面上有多聪明。”
“他们那里有优秀的员工，他们将全力以赴以发挥出最佳水平。”
“我还认为将哈里·罗伯逊移至 6 号位置对他们有所帮助。他上周对阵约克队时的表现令人惊叹。每次他触球，对方都无法应对他的奔跑进攻。”
“板球先生”将收到邀请
作者：罗里·多拉德 (RORY DOLLARD)
前澳大利亚球星迈克·哈西 (Mike Hussey) 可能会成为英格兰新 Test 队教练组的一员。
澳大利亚广播公司 SEN 报道称，在职业球员生涯中以高产著称、被誉为“板球先生”的哈西，已经收到了即将上任的教练斯蒂芬·弗莱明 (Stephen Fleming) 的“非正式”接触。
两人在 IPL 中有着长期的工作关系，最初在钦奈超级国王队 (Chennai Super Kings) 是队友，随后哈西（插图）加入弗莱明的幕后团队担任击球专家。
马库斯·特雷斯科尔蒂克 (Marcus Trescoltick) 目前在英格兰队担任该职务，并在弗莱明到来之前，以临时身份负责即将到来的对阵巴基斯坦的系列赛。
哈西此前曾在 2022 年跨越灰烬杯的分歧，在英格兰队成功的 T20 世界杯征程中担任顾问教练。

都柏林首秀是将比赛全球化的下一步
作者：JOHN MALLISTER
超级联赛将在下个赛季 开辟新局面，因为沃灵顿狼队 和威根勇士队将成为 首批在爱尔兰举行联赛 赛事的俱乐部。
这对死对头将在 新改建的 Laya Arena（伦斯特 橄榄球队主场）于 2021 年 4 月 24 日星期六相遇。
威根和沃灵顿 成为了首批参加 2025 年 NRL 拉斯维加斯盛会的超级 联赛俱乐部，而勇士队今年早些时候 还在巴黎面对 Catsians Dragons 参加了一场庆祝赛，旨在纪念该赛事和这家法国俱乐部的周年庆。
沃灵顿首席执行官 Karl Fitzpatrick 表示：“对于我们的俱乐部、超级联赛以及橄榄球联盟这项运动来说，这是另一个里程碑式的时刻。随着拉斯维加斯和 巴黎项目的成功，以及人们对将我们的比赛带给新观众的渴望，都柏林是完美的下一个目的地。”
沃灵顿和威根此前曾在都柏林的 Shelbourne Park 见面（1934 年），而威根在 1995 年回到了这座城市，参加了一场面对利兹的慈善赛。
位于都柏林市中心的 Laya Arena 经历了 4500 万英镑m 的改造，容量为 20,500 人。
威根 CEO Kris Radlinski 表示： “都柏林在举办重大体育赛事方面享有卓越的声誉，为两家自豪的俱乐部和两拨热情的支持者提供了一个完美的舞台，以展示让我们的比赛变得特别的所有元素。
“这是为了创造一个人们想要参与的场合。希望这将成为橄榄球联盟增长故事中另一个成功的章节，并展示当我们愿意以不同的方式思考时可以实现什么样的目标。”

我永远不会厌倦对奖牌的追求
在伯明翰，短跑运动员艾米追求的是全胜或全无
作者：LUCA HAMLEY
艾米·亨特（AMY HUNT）对奖牌有着无法满足的渴望，在完成了所有主要赛事的领奖台大满贯后，她将前往伯明翰争取一切。
虽然今年夏天的欧洲田径锦标赛是亨特的首要任务，但她也参加了在格拉斯哥举行的英联邦运动会，并在 100m 项目中获得一枚银牌。
她现在已经在奥运会、世锦赛、英联邦运动会和欧洲级别赛事中赢得了奖牌，她在格拉斯哥的领奖台时刻是在斯科特斯顿（Scotstoun）的倾盆大雨中实现的。
虽然她的许多队友选择放弃这次北上之旅，但亨特持有不同的看法，这源于她对奖杯那无法熄灭的渴望。
她说：“我不希望 30 年后打开我的维基百科页面时，只看到一两枚奖牌。我想看到很多奖牌。这对我很重要。”
“我们在媒体方面的代表性并不强。我们不是那种每周在电视上出现三次、每个人都能看到我们脸孔的 NBA 球员。”
亨特说得没错，运动员确实没有像美国的篮球运动员或这里的英超联赛足球运动员那样，拥有主导聚光灯的机会。
但在接下来的这一周里，她希望自己能像世界杯期间的哈里·凯恩（Harry Kane）和朱德·贝林厄姆（Jude Bellingham）那样备受关注。为此她规划了一份赛程，将参加 100m 和 200m 项目，以及两项接力赛。
这意味着在亚历山大体育场（Alexander Stadium）将有一段极其繁忙的行程，但亨特不希望以其他方式进行。
她说：“成为一名全能短跑运动员的伟大之处之一，就是我可以同时参加 100m 和 200m 的比赛。”
“缺点是机会太多，所以有时很难拒绝。”
“我们的 No.1 优先级是欧洲锦标赛。这是该赛事首次在英国举行，所以我们的目标是参加那里的全部项目：100m, 200m, 女子 4 x 100 m 以及新的混合 4x100m，因为那将是非常具有标志性的。”
“我会参加所有项目，所以你们每天可能会经常看到我。”
亨特仍然保持着 18, 岁以下组 200m 的历史最快纪录，而去年在东京世锦赛上，她正是凭借这个较长距离的项目夺得银牌。
本赛季她在短距离项目上也大放异彩，首次跑进 11 秒，此后多次重复这一壮举。
她补充道：“在圣诞节，我写下了我的目标，现在我开始想，‘哇，也许我们可以追求这些目标’。”
“在进入锦标赛时，我总是有点像一匹黑马，所以人们永远不应该轻视我。”

他的位置
阿隆索：我需要学习并适应我的蓝军球员
鲍比·文森特发自香港 哈维·阿隆索承认，在切尔西接手足球界另一个最艰巨的工作后，他必须迅速从在皇家马德里的失败中学习。
阿隆索在伯纳乌执教的时间不足八个月——而现在距离切尔西在英超联赛中对阵富勒姆的揭幕战仅剩 18 天，届时所有目光都将集中在这位新任主教练身上。
蓝军最近一次超过 2 亿英镑m 的夏季挥霍几乎未能降低斯坦福桥的期望，尤其是这位西班牙人在转会事务上被赋予了比前任更多的权力。
但即使在香港 1-0 负于尤文图斯之后，阿隆索（itset）仍自信地认为他的球队已经在朝着正确的方向前进，同时他期待新援马尔科·帕莱斯特拉能成为一项重大资产。
当被问及是否在采取与在皇马时期不同的做法时，这位 44 岁的教练表示：“嗯，你需要快速学习。你需要适应你所拥有的球员。你需要与俱乐部、与球员一起创造一些东西。”
“我们在一起待了三周，所以现在谈论一切还为时过早。我们正在向前迈出小小的一步，未来肯定还会迈出更多步。”
昨晚，令人印象深刻的启德体育场内有超过 43,000 名观众，新援帕莱斯特拉和乔瓦尼·昆达在切尔西的右翼制造了大量威胁。
阿隆索对前亚特兰大球星、21 岁的帕莱斯特拉尤为热情，赞扬他已经产生了“巨大的影响”。
“你可以看到他的力量，”阿隆索补充道，“他能不断地往返奔跑，耐力极佳，在进攻三分之一区域也很有质量。所以我们对他印象深刻。”
“很高兴马尔科在球队中，并且他能提供解决方案。”
“他是一个灵活的球员，所以与他合作将会非常有趣。”
米哈伊洛·穆德里克在被英足总批准在因禁用物质褪黑素（melatonium）出现“不利结果”后恢复比赛，在 20 个月后首次回归。
阿隆索说：“我真的为他感到高兴。俱乐部的所有人看到他回归都非常激动。他肯定也欣喜若狂。对他和每个人来说这都是一种很棒的感觉。”
萨拉在特拉布宗看起来很棒
塔尔·普林斯 穆罕默德·萨拉昨天身穿特拉布宗体育俱乐部的球衣抵达伊斯坦布尔，受到了英雄般的欢迎，以敲定加盟这家土超联赛球队的交易。
在俱乐部周二晚上宣布他将经伊斯坦布尔前往特拉布宗后，数百名球迷在阿塔图尔克机场迎接这位前利物浦前锋。
在俱乐部社交媒体账号发布的一段视频中，34 岁的萨拉说：“特拉布宗，你们准备好了吗？我能听到你们的声音。很快见。”
在利物浦效力九年后，他在今年夏天离开并成为自由球员。在利物浦期间，他在 442 场比赛中打入 237 球，并赢得了两次英超联赛冠军和一次欧冠冠军。
萨拉曾与多家俱乐部联系，并收到了特拉布宗体育在土超联赛中的竞争对手贝西克塔斯的报价。
签下这位前英超赛季最佳球员和金足奖得主将是特拉布宗体育的一次重大胜利，该队在 2025 年赢得了其七次土耳其联赛冠军中的最后一次。
另外六次冠军是在 1970 年至 1984 年之间的黄金时期获得的。
特拉布宗体育在该赛季排名第三，落后冠军加拉塔萨雷 8 分，并将参加一场附加赛以获得欧联杯联赛阶段的资格。

资深门将 Amos 经验丰富
Amos 旨在助力伯恩利
作者：ANDY DEAN
资深门将 Ben Amos 旨在利用其足球联赛的经验，帮助伯恩利在冠军联赛中冲击升级。
这位 36 岁的球员在上赛季末离开波特韦尔后，与克拉雷茨签署了一份为期一年的合同。
在从英超联赛降级，且 Martin Dubravka 和 Vaclav Hladky 离队后，德国人 Max Weiss 是特夫穆尔球场唯一留下的资深门将。
Amos 拥有超过 300 场 EFL 比赛经验，在利尔的中场 Ugo Raghouber 和西班牙人的边锋 Lius Castell 到来之后，他是主教练 Nicky Hayen 夏季签下的第三名球员。
这位前曼联球员表示：“我很高兴能完成这次转会，并且非常开心能成为这家俱乐部的一员。”
“我认为这里年轻球员和年长球员的结合很好，希望我能凭借自己的经验为更衣室带来一些贡献，并成为资深球员群体的一员。”
奥尼尔住院
凯尔特人足球俱乐部宣布，马丁·奥尼尔在医院接受了一次“小手术”后正在康复中。
这位 74 岁的教练（见下文）在 6 月签署了一份为期一年的合同，在经历了上赛季两次临时执教并以联赛和杯赛双冠收场后，正式成为
凯尔特人的主教练。
在周一晚上的比赛中，他在教练席上率队 1-0 战胜了邓迪队。
凯尔特人官方网站的一份声明写道：“我们预计马丁将在未来一两天内出院。我们代表马丁，感谢支持者们的亲切祝愿。”

恩佐·马雷斯卡在接替佩普·瓜迪奥拉执掌帅印后，敦促他的曼彻斯特城球员相信他能带来更多荣耀。
曼城将在 17 天后开启新赛季，他们旨在从阿森纳手中夺回英超联赛冠军奖杯。
他们将面对伯恩茅斯，正是这支球队在 5 月份以 1-1 平局结束了上一次冠军争夺战，对手是瓜迪奥拉的球队。
对于曼城来说，这是一个变革时期，俱乐部功勋球员贝尔纳多·席尔瓦、约翰·斯通斯和纳坦·阿克都跟随瓜迪奥拉离开了伊蒂哈德球场。
而关于罗德里未来的猜测依然存在。
俱乐部通过打破转会纪录，以初始 £1.16 亿 的交易金额从诺丁汉森林签下埃利奥特·安德森，以此支持马雷斯卡。他与罗德里一样，是几位仍处于世界杯后休假期间的球星之一。
对于力求快速进入状态的马雷斯卡来说，这远非理想情况。
在昨天 3-1 战胜 K 联赛全明星队的友谊赛后，马雷斯卡表示：“[我们尚未达到最佳状态] 的原因是大约有八九名球员还没有回到我们身边。”
“但重要的是，当他们回来时，他们会努力去做我们从第一天起就尝试做的事情。”
“同时，我们需要他们信任我们的目标，这很重要。然后当其余球员到达时，毫无疑问我们会变得更好。”
尽管首尔的天气闷热不堪，但曼城依然轻松获胜，拉扬·艾特-努里、蒂贾尼·赖因德斯和迪文·穆巴马在上半场进球，最终以 3-1 锁定胜局。
马雷斯卡说：“结果总是重要的，即使是一场友谊赛。但最重要的是看到球员们的努力，尤其是在这种天气下。此外，与上一场比赛 [1-1 平局对阵国际米兰] 相比，我们在某些方面做得更好。”
“好在球员们尝试适应 [天气]。他们努力奋斗了 95 分钟。”
“从第一天起，球员们就在付出努力，我能看到他们信任我们正在做的工作，对我来说，这是最关键的一点。”
马雷斯卡还很高兴看到赖因德斯在与诺丁汉森林和加拉塔萨雷的转会传闻中取得进球，而热刺的目标萨维尼奥则参加了下半场比赛。
“他 [赖因德斯] 是目前与我们在一起的球员，”这位曼城主帅说道。
“对于与我们在一起的球员，直到他们离开我们之前，我的职责就是为他们提供最好的支持。”
“我对他的表现感到满意，自从他度假回来后一直工作良好。目前我对他非常满意。”
他补充道：“在萨维尼奥在这里期间，我们将尽力帮助他提高。但遗憾的是，正如我们多次提到的，在转会窗口开启期间，任何事情都可能发生。我们需要为此做好准备。”

FLIPPIN' HECKE, ROBERTO!
热刺主帅德泽尔比用粗口短信招揽布莱顿球星
作者：ALASDAIR GOLD
罗伯托·德泽尔比（ROBERTO DE ZERBI）给夏季新援扬·保罗·范·赫克（Jan Paul van Hecke）发送了一条带有粗口的短信，告诉他由于差点让热刺降级，他必须加盟热刺。
热刺在目前的转会窗口已花费 £2.37 亿，德泽尔比希望在接下来的几周内再引进两到三名球员。
其中至少有两名将是进攻球员。虽然有些教练讨厌转会窗口，但这位意大利人热爱这种狩猎的快感，在想要一名球员时，他称自己为“鲨鱼”。
这位 47 岁的教练表示：“我不知道为什么我热爱它，也许是因为当你做出决定时，你就承担了责任。如果教练给球员打电话，你可以在一开始就与他们建立一种特殊的联系。”
“球员知道你是这次转会的关键，那么也许这名球员会觉得他们必须给你更多的回报，而如果是由（体育总监）约翰·兰格（Johan Lange）给球员打电话，情况则不同。”
他补充道：“关于马特乌斯·费尔南德斯（Mateus Fernandes），我和他的父母谈过了。”
“关于 JP（范·赫克），在埃弗顿比赛之后，我发了一条信息：‘去你的（F*** off），你在给乔治尼奥·布特（Georginio Butter）助攻时，想让热刺为了布莱顿而降级，现在你必须来我这里，必须来，你没得选！’”
“那是比赛结束后立刻发生的，就在我位于热刺球场的办公室里，我先发了一条信息给我女儿，然后发给了 JP。”
热刺在这个夏天感觉像是一家不同的俱乐部，采取了果断的行动，拥有德泽尔比的积极态度，以及在赛季最后一天逃离降级的解脱感。这位意大利人在执掌这家北伦敦俱乐部的第一场比赛后坦诚地谈到了一个时刻，这在后来向他展示了他的球员在任职初期取得了怎样的进步。
他说：“我为（保级）感到自豪和开心，但我并不觉得上赛季是我的成就——那是球员们的成就。”
“因为当我到来时，我在桑德兰赛后的更衣室里看到了球员们。”
“我没有在新闻发布会上告诉你们，但当时的情况是这样的：所有人都在哭，躺在更衣室的地板上。我问：‘我们去世了吗？’”
“我试图传递积极情绪，并从另一个角度观察情况。我很诚实，我一直认为热刺的球员是顶级球员。”
一个关键的情绪转折点出现在德泽尔比在伦敦请球员们吃大餐的时候，他承认当时允许饮酒。
他解释道：“五月份在梅费尔（Mayfair）的 Bacchanalia 餐厅进行了一次盛大的晚餐，有酒精。酒精是很好的良药！只要你正常且严肃地享受，而不是像傻瓜一样。”
“我相信团结。然后，我每天向他们传递我对他们的看法。他们当时认为自己比人们想象的要糟糕，但保级和获胜是有可能的。”
一名因伤而经历困难赛季的球员是多米尼克·索兰克（Dominic Solanke）。德泽尔比此前表示，这位英格兰国脚将成为他的关键人物，但这位前锋在深受脚踝和腿筋问题困扰的赛季中未能证明这一点。
热刺主帅表示：“我喜欢他作为一名球员，也喜欢他这个人。在英超联赛中，没有多少前锋比多姆·索兰克（Dom Solanke）更出色。”
“他的表现质量取决于他感受到的信心。首先，我们要完成转会市场，然后我们再详细谈谈索兰克。”
“无论如何，我想留住他，因为我喜欢他作为一名球员，他作为前锋非常全面。”
“他能攻击空间，能护球，能用球进行串联，他能够在英超联赛中打进 15-20 个进球。”
离队：维特克（Vitek）以 1400 万英镑m 的价格被卖给博罗（Boro）
门将 Vitek 转会 Boro
作者：SIMON PEACH
曼彻斯特联队正将 Radek Vitek 出售给米德尔斯堡，交易价值高达 1400 万英镑00 万，与此同时，另一名门将 Altay Bayindir 正准备以租借形式加盟塞尔塔维戈。
迈克尔·卡里克麾下的 No.1 Senne Lammens 将与夏季签约的 Karl Darlow 一起组成全新的门将部门。
这位威尔士国脚是以自由转会身份加盟的，此前 Andre Onana 已租借回归特拉布宗体育。
在布里斯托尔城度过了一个令人印象深刻的赛季后，Vitek 即将加盟在冠军联赛升级附加赛决赛中落败的米德尔斯堡。
这位 22 岁的捷克人于 2020 年从 Sigma Olomouc 加盟联队，在 Ashton Gate 大放异彩之前，曾在 Accrington 和 Blau-Weiss Linz 短暂效力。
据了解，联队与 Boro 达成了一项回购协议，包含奖金在内价值高达 1400 万英镑m，此外还包含 35 per cent 的二次转会分成条款。
土耳其国脚 Bayindir 同样在变动之中，租借加盟塞尔塔维戈的交易已接近完成。
Cairney 手术打击
富勒姆队长 Tom Cairney 在接受膝盖手术后，可能会缺阵至 10 月。
这位 35 岁的中场球员昨日对其左膝进行了小型手术。Cairney（见下文）
将开始康复计划，预计将在 9 月国际比赛日后恢复训练。
俱乐部表示：“我们祝愿 Tom 康复顺利，并期待他尽快回到赛场。”
富勒姆将在 8 月 24 日周一主场迎战西伦敦死敌切尔西，开启英超联赛赛季。

Bruno 将增强球队，但 Vini 将是皇马的声明
评论
作者：安迪·邓恩 (ANDY DUNN)
布鲁诺·吉马良斯 (BRUNO GUIMARAES) 对阿森纳来说是一个稳健的高端签约，但这并不是一个能改变比赛格局的转会。
在纽卡斯尔，这位巴西人已经证明了自己在英超联赛特定要求的环境下是一名高效的球员。
首先，他的覆盖范围很广。在1月份一场 4:3 击败利兹联的比赛中，吉马良斯跑了 13.24km。
上赛季，只有另外两名球员在单场英超联赛中突破了 13.km 大关。曼城队的贝尔纳多·席尔瓦 (Bernardo Silva) 在对阵诺丁汉森林时做到了，布莱顿队的帕斯卡尔·格罗斯 (Pascal Gross) 则在对阵曼城和切尔西的两场比赛中分别做到了。
吉马良斯绝对是一个投入的角色。可以说，他是埃迪·豪 (Eddie Howe) 球队的核心，这支球队结束了纽卡斯尔对重大奖杯的长期等待，并获得了两次欧冠联赛的参赛资格。
在那些欧冠联赛中，吉马良斯出场 13 场，未能进球，仅贡献了一次助攻。
他在英超联赛的数据要好得多，为纽卡斯尔打入 30 球（其中两个是点球），并贡献了 26 次助攻。
更详细的统计数据显示，在过去三个赛季中，吉马良斯的赢得对抗次数 (697) 比任何其他英超球员都多。
米克尔·阿尔特塔 (Mikel Arteta) 与大多数英超主教练一样，喜爱能够赢得对抗的球员。
而且，根据今年夏天大多数顶级中场交易的价格来看，为这位 28 岁的球员支付 £7500 万 左右的费用是一个相对合理的数字。
但他不是一个能改变格局的人。他的同胞维尼修斯·儒尼奥尔 (Vinicius Junior) 绝对是。
这位皇家马德里的进攻球员（见上图）的合同还剩一年，他希望在目前 £1500 万 的年薪基础上增加 £1000 万。
皇马的报价目前为每年 £1900 万 —— 仍差 £600 万。
阿森纳将不得不打破他们拥有的任何薪资标准，但这将是一次破例的行动。这将是一次最高级别的声明式签约。
尽管英超联赛自封为世界上最好的俱乐部赛事，但它在吸引顶级招牌球员方面仍然感到吃力。
这些球员通常是前往皇家马德里，而不是离开皇家马德里。
维尼修斯·儒尼奥尔一直是伯纳乌球场的旗舰球员，而且最重要的是，他是经过验证的欧冠联赛执行者。
阿森纳和阿尔特塔上赛季一路闯入决赛并进入点球大战，理应获得极大的赞赏，但他们缺乏一个额外的进攻维度。
维尼修斯·儒尼奥尔在最近 46 场欧冠联赛中贡献了 26 个进球和 21 次助攻，他能提供这一点。
虽然阿森纳球迷理所当然地会认为这不重要，但维尼修斯·儒尼奥尔会让球队更具观赏性。他会让英超联赛更具观赏性。
显然，如果阿森纳想要诱使维尼修斯·儒尼奥尔加盟酋长球场，还有很多工作要做。
但即使你不是一名枪手球迷，这也是一个英超联赛应该极力争取的一笔交易。

本赛季盛夏转会大戏是如何展开的……以及枪手最终如何得到他们的目标

作者：李·赖德 (LEE RYDER)
在决定布鲁诺·吉马良斯的未来时，纽卡斯尔希望听到来自当事人的确切消息。
六周以来，喜鹊军团对关于阿森纳对其队长的兴趣的传闻和泄露感到沮丧。
纽卡斯尔感到困惑的是，“高级谈判”一词被反复使用，但交易在 6 月或 7 月并未进展，而关于吉马良斯没有参加季前训练或计划进行体检的说法被证明是错误的。
联队高层的立场很简单：他们不想出售，也没有压力去出售 —— 尽管有欧足联的球队成本比率限制 —— 因为他们已经出售了桑德罗·托纳利 (Sandro Tonali)（上图）和安东尼·戈登 (Anthony Gordon)。
那么我们是如何走到这一步的？
拉曼加峰会
7月9日有报道称，在戈登转会巴塞罗那以及托纳利转会热刺之后，吉马良斯对纽卡斯尔的项目表示担忧。
但纽卡斯尔转会主管罗斯·威尔逊（左上）希望直接听取吉马良斯的想法。虽然这位中场球员一直致力于返回拉曼加参加训练，但俱乐部询问了他关于留队还是离开的投票意向。
吉马良斯选择投票“离开”，于是启动了7500 万英镑00 万的出售计划。他的理由是什么？据接近曼联的人士透露，是因为机会、更好的待遇以及搬到伦敦。预计这将是一笔固定费用，其中20%的原始转会费利润将归里昂所有。然而，有说法称，基于出场次数、冠军头衔和欧冠资格，该费用可能会进一步增加。
据接近该交易的消息人士透露，总额最终可能高达9000 万英镑m，但这取决于吉马良斯在枪手队的成功程度。
无论如何，这位喜鹊中场正前往北伦敦，而他办理离开君悦度假酒店的手续似乎早已在计划之中。
为什么纽卡斯尔同意出售以及为什么是7500 万英镑00 万?
接近纽卡斯尔的人士表示，市场上从未出现过1 亿英镑m的退出价格，甚至在固定费用方面也没有8000 万英镑m或9000 万英镑m的市场。7500 万英镑m的标签被认为是账面价格。
吉马良斯将在11月年满29岁，现实情况是他的价值在未来只会下降，因此这基本上是套现的最后机会。
随着马蒂亚斯·雅斯莱的到来，喜鹊队拥有一项保留忠诚球员的政策，而俱乐部队长必须以身作则。
一旦雅斯莱和威尔逊明确吉马良斯想要离开，他在喜鹊队的职业生涯就结束了。
接下来的计划是什么？
纽卡斯尔将允许这位巴西球员在转会中发表意见（如果他想这么做的话），就像俱乐部对待托纳利、戈登和埃迪·豪那样。
吉马良斯阵营有一种感觉，认为体育项目没有朝着正确的方向发展，顶级球星以及主教练的离职意味着俱乐部正在轻微下滑。
纽卡斯尔坚称这是一个“令人兴奋的新时代”，雅斯莱预计将带来一种变体的gegenpressing（反抢压迫）。
此外，人们预计吉马良斯不会被一名年轻球员取代，而是一名更有经验的人员加入领导层。
纽卡斯尔在转会窗口早期关注了斯图加特的安格洛·斯蒂勒，由于其拥有3100 万英镑m的违约金，这是一个不能被排除的目标。
无论如何，在吉马良斯之后生活仍将继续，俱乐部拉曼加训练营的消息人士坚称，在准备于8月23日（即23日）的英超联赛揭幕战中主场迎战利物浦之际，球队精神已经很高昂。
雅斯莱：现在是加入这家俱乐部的令人兴奋的泰恩时刻
LEE RYDER
马蒂亚斯·贾斯莱（MATTHIAS JAISSLE）在正式接管圣詹姆斯公园球场后表示，加入纽卡斯尔是一项“极大的荣誉”。
在纽卡斯尔球迷经历了一个缺乏好消息的夏天后，贾斯莱的热情可能来得恰到好处。
安东尼·戈登（Anthony Gordon）和桑德罗·托纳利（Sandra Tonali）的离队——更不用说即将失去布鲁诺·吉马良斯（Bruno Guimaraes）的前景——虽然充实了金库，但降低了泰恩赛德地区的喜悦感。
现在，距离英超联赛揭幕战仅剩 17 天，贾斯莱接替了埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe）——而枪手们已准备好将纽卡斯尔这个不确定的夏天抛在脑后。
贾斯莱表示：“能够成为纽卡斯尔联的主教练是一项极大的荣誉。”
“这是欧洲足球最大的俱乐部之一，拥有独特的历史、身份和支持者群体，我很高兴能亲身体验这种激情和推动力。当纽卡斯尔联出现在你面前时，你一定会注意到它。俱乐部的雄心、对未来的愿景以及未来的机遇，使这里成为了一个极具吸引力的地方。”
“近年来我一直密切关注着俱乐部的旅程，所取得的进展对每个人来说都是显而易见的。”
在纽卡斯尔签下 Ewen Jacoam、Aladj Jambie、Bishmanasa Toure、Lukas（来自诺福克）和 Sean Shear 等年轻球员后，在谈到该项目时，贾斯莱说：“我对未来感到异常兴奋。我完全且毫无保留地相信这个项目，以及俱乐部所采取的雄心和方向。”
“这里有清晰的愿景、强大的领导力以及一个卓越的建设平台。”
“我的球队建立在团结、努力、强度以及每天进步的激情之上。”
“我将带来这种承诺、全部的能量以及决心，倾尽所有来帮助这家俱乐部实现其雄心。”
新主帅将带来“能量”

以及决心，倾尽所有来帮助这家俱乐部实现其雄心。”
在休赛期，乔迪球迷沮丧地看着安东尼·戈登（下图）和桑德罗·托纳利被出售——而吉马良斯也即将随他们一起走出出口大门——且主教练埃迪·豪离职。
但 38 岁的贾斯莱誓言将坚持纽卡斯尔所青睐的具有观赏性和进攻性的足球风格。
纽卡斯尔体育总监罗斯·威尔逊（Ross Wilson）告诉支持者，一旦他们看到他为球队制定的计划，他们将会喜欢这位新帅。
威尔逊说：“马蒂亚斯的领导风格和足球哲学与我们的体育愿景高度一致。”
“他的球队踢的是高能量的足球，在整个招聘过程的所有讨论中，我们都能感受到他的激情。”
“在他的执教生涯中，他一贯证明了自己能够提升球员能力、建立凝聚力强的球队并创造顶尖的绩效环境。”
“他在萨尔茨堡和国民队（Al-Ahli）的成功，凸显了他能够在开发清晰足球身份的同时交付结果的能力。”
“我们相信，他处于独特的位置，能够基于已经建立的坚实基础进行建设，并帮助纽卡斯尔联向前发展。”

BY RICHARD ASHMORE
PM ANDY Burnham has been accused of betraying the family of hero PC Andrew Harper as two of his killers are set to be freed from jail early.
Mr Burnham, who flew off on a break on
Monday after two weeks in No10, faces growing pressure over Labour's early release plan.
Both the chief constable and the Police Federation of PC
Harper's Thames Valley force may take legal action against ministers.
Former Home Secretary Dame Priti Patel, who worked with his widow Lissie to bring in mandatory life terms for killers of 999 workers, said: "The Prime Minister has betrayed the family of PC

'Dereliction of duty in a time of crisis'
Packham and Polanski blast holidaying PM
BY DAVID WILLIAMSON
Chief Political Commentator
ANDY Burnham has been accused of an "astonishing dereliction of duty" and his government blasted for its response to Britain's scorching summer temperatures.
Broadcaster Chris Packham and Green Party leader Zack Polanski both launched stinging attacks on holidaying Mr Burnham yesterday.
Springwatch host Mr Packham warned there was the potential for 50,000 people to die across Europe as extreme heats bakes the continent.
He said that if such a death toll was caused by "terrorism or a pandemic", the government would have "cancelled its summer holiday", held emergency Cobra meetings and launched a Covid-style information campaign.
Mr Packham made his remarks at a Green Party press conference in Westminster, where Mr Polanski warned that rain could lead to flooding because the soil is "baked dry".
The Green leader accused the "very top of government" of saying "next to nothing" and claimed the "crisis" is "putting lives and livelihoods at risk".
Mr Polanski added that failure to take action could lead to "unimaginably grave" consequences.
He said: "The sheer scale of the devastation is hard to comprehend, but we need to look it in the face because this is only a taster of what's to come if we
don't act now." The pair's attacks on the government laid bare the scale of the split on the British Left over the future of Britain's energy policy.
President Donald Trump has claimed that Mr Burnham told him he is "going to open up North Sea oil". The Prime Minister has only said he would take a "pragmatic approach" to the issue.
Mr Packham said "talk of drilling oil" is "simply madness" as he condemned a "total dereliction of duty in a time of extreme crisis". He warned:
"We need Andy Burnham to step up before we [see] our home burn down."
Mr Polanski also hiked pressure on Mr Burnham not to allow new North Sea drilling, including in the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields.
The Green leader said he was "worried" about the appointment of John Healey, who quit as Defence Secretary in protest at underfunding for the armed forces, as Chancellor, saying the "climate and nature crisis" were also matters of security and defence.

Game, set... and parched
WHAT the deuce? Wimbledon's normally lush Henman Hill looks more like a sandpit after drought turned it beige.
The parched paddock was a gorgeous green in mid-June but has been transformed by the scorching weather.
And other startling aerial shots look like a sun-baked Texas trail but alarmingly show a dairy cow herd in bone-dry Kent.
They highlight the effects of July being the driest month ever recorded in southern England with still no sign of any significant rainfall on its way. The UK had two record-breaking heatwaves in May
BY CHRIS RICHES
and June that led to more than 2,800 excess deaths, with two more heatwaves last month as the mercury hit 34C.
BBC lead weather presenter Matt Taylor explained: "On Tuesday, the UK registered its 34th day of temperatures reaching 30C (86F) or higher in a year, equalling the record set in 1995.
"Forecasts suggest that this record is likely to be beaten as early as next week, with some showing the potential for a sixth heatwave to develop."

Professor Jason Arday
Plagiarism row Prof quits post amid probe
BY ALLISTER HAGGER
A PROFESSOR at the centre of a plagiarism row has resigned from Cambridge University after it said he was under investigation.
Jason Arday – who became the institution's youngest black professor in 2023 aged 37 – quit as Professor of Sociology, he said on the Good Law Project's website.
In a letter addressed to colleagues published last night, Prof Arday wrote: "It is with profound sadness that I write to resign, with immediate effect, from my position at the University of Cambridge and Jesus College.
"When I accepted the extraordinary honour it was, without question, the greatest professional privilege of my life.
Allegations
"To become the youngest black professor in the university's history was something I could scarcely have imagined as a child growing up with a diagnosis of autism, unable to speak until I was 11 years old."
It followed a statement from the university announcing an inquiry into Prof Arday had begun "following new information".
It said the probe would examine his "academic qualifications and honorary appointments". It followed reports that included allegations he plagiarised his PhD thesis and other research.
Jesus College said yesterday it is launching its own process.
In an interview with The Times, Prof Arday denied the claims and said: "The positioning of me as this kind of liar and fantasist is totally unacceptable."
Migrants' Channel crossing 'manuals'
Lee Anderson blasts coaching videos to aid asylum bids
MIGRANTS are being handed instruction manuals on how to cross the Channel in dinghies and claim asylum in the UK.
Leaflets available in 16 languages – including Arabic, Pashto and Farsi – warn asylum seekers to avoid windy conditions, dodge ships and stay in their boats.
Reform UK chairman Lee Anderson reacted with fury after being handed an Arabic version, adding that if a migrant wants "to make this perilous journey across Europe and to the UK, this is all you need!"
A QR code guides people to videos coaching them on how to claim asylum, as well as giving up-to-date weather conditions and detail on how to send GPS coordinates to rescuers.
The cartoon-style video – available in nine languages – details potential loopholes that migrants can exploit, including by expanding the interpretation of "persecution", adding that the "evidence" is their "story".
It states: "In many cases, the decision makers do not believe you
BY MICHAEL KNOWLES
Home Affairs Editor
when you tell your story. You need to think about what other evidence you can get to prove what you're saying happened is true, and what you think could happen to you is likely.
"Are there witnesses to things that happen to you? Have you got documents that prove any part of your story? These might include medical records, arrest warrants, court documents, letters from friends or organisations showing you're in danger."
The leaflets are available in Arabic, Pashto, Dari, Farsi, Hindi, Somali and Kurdish Sorani.
Mr Anderson – who was handed the document during a visit to a migrant camp in Grande-Synthe, France – raged: "I think the police are complicit in this as well, and the NGOs, for me, are the biggest part of the problem, literally encouraging people to set up this camp.
"They're giving them hope – hope that they can come to a better life in
the UK, and that, unfortunately, is costing lots of lives in the Channel. The trade will continue, and we will continue to get migrants into our country that we don't want.
"There are people who have committed all sorts of horrible crimes."
Riot police blocked Mr Anderson – and journalists – from visiting the migrant camp in Grande-Synthe yesterday morning as dozens of police vehicles entered the site.
Pressure
Heavily armoured officers demanded IDs – whilst dodging questions about the hundreds of migrants living in tents and makeshift homes.
Mr Anderson said: "The camp will be full of criminals there, but we're the people who entered this country legally two days ago – it's us that has been treated like criminals."
Describing the chaos, he told the Daily Express: "They let the migrants camp here and straight away they ask for our ID again. I am pretty sure they
are not asking to see the identification of the illegal migrants. We pay them all that money and they treat us like illegal invaders."
The camp in Grande-Synthe used to be confined to much smaller areas. But it now spans 350m along the side of a main road and back into the trees.
It comes as pressure intensifies on the French police to stop Channel migrants from entering the water.
Paris is also facing demands to accept a far greater number of people being returned.
Some 173 people were rescued on Tuesday and returned to France after the biggest ever mega-dinghy was launched near Dieppe.
A fire broke out, sparking panic as people jumped into the water fleeing the flames. An Egyptian was arrested on Tuesday night after being accused of charging asylum seekers £1,000 each to board the oversized craft.
Investigators revealed: "There were 50 women and children onboard, all declined emergency accommodation."
PLEAS TO PM: PAGES 6&7
Reform to jail bosses who hire illegal workers
FIRMS will be fined 10% of their global revenues if they hire illegal migrants, under new Reform plans.
Bosses will also be thrown in jail under the new law, amid growing concern over Channel migrants working in Britain's booming black economy.
They will be held "criminally liable" even if they did not know staff did not have the right to work here.
Fines of 10% would soar into the millions for some giant food delivery firms, under Zia Yusuf's plans.
The Daily Express previously revealed how asylum seekers were using taxpayer-funded hotels as a base
BY MICHAEL KNOWLES
whilst they worked for food delivery companies.
Some were even caught renting out their accounts to other illegal migrants.
Under a Labour plan, directors face fines of up to £60,000 for every caught illegal worker they have hired. Repeat offenders face up to five years in jail.
But Reform UK home affairs spokesman Mr Yusuf said: "The Tories and Labour have made Britain the softest-touch country in the world for illegal
migrants to undercut British workers. Under a Reform government, Britain will have the harshest penalties in the world for employing illegal migrants.
"Bosses of companies employing illegal migrants will be sent to prison, and their companies fined 10% of their global revenues.
"There are companies whose entire business model is based on profiting from illegal working.
"It is a slap in the face to the public. It makes a mockery of our immigration laws, takes jobs from British workers and is funding people smugglers."

Andrew Harper." She added: "Andy Burnham has failed them. He has let down our police officers who routinely run towards danger to protect us all.
"It is a travesty of justice to let PC Harper's killers walk free and a damning indictment of the government that ministers will not block the release."
Newlywed PC Harper, 28, was dragged to his death in 2019 after he tried to stop a car containing bike thieves Albert Bowers, Jessie Cole and driver Henry Long.
Bowers and Cole, then both 18, were handed 13 years for manslaughter; Long pleaded guilty and was locked up for 16 years – he is not eligible for early release.
The killing sparked an outcry and Lissie campaigned with his family for Harper's Law, creating mandatory life sentences for people convicted of the manslaughter of an emergency worker. Labour

said on Monday it would free thousands of killers and abusers early despite opposition from victims and families.
The PM had said he would review Cole and Bowers' case but campaigners spoke of "deafening silence". A petition to keep them jailed gained 300,000 signatures in a day.
Thames Valley Police chief Jason Hogg, right, said his force could support legal action against ministers. Aileen O'Connor chairs its Police Federation of 5,000 staff and met lawyers yesterday. She said: "Every avenue around that is being considered.
"I'm very much throwing everything we can at this. It's a betrayal to Andrew's legacy and everything that he stood for and it's a betrayal for police officers. I haven't had
any contact from anybody in government around this. I am going to be a pain in the backside to them... until we get justice for Andrew."
She said of Bowers and Cole: "They were told they were going to get early release before Andrew Harper's family, before Lissie...where is putting the victims and the victims' families at the heart of this?" Mr Hogg said:
Andrew and Lissie Harper. Two of his killers, Albert Bowers, Ivo, and Jessie Cole, are set to be released within weeks to free up space in jails
"I do think that the public opinion is overwhelming in this matter."
In a legal challenge, High Court judges would decide if ministers acted unlawfully or irrationally in letting inmates out early – but there must be a clear flaw in law.
PC Harper's mother Debbie Adlam welcomed a possible court challenge, adding: "We know now we are not standing still."
Lissie Harper branded news of the possible release of her husband's killers "absurd" and a "gut punch" from the government. She
added: "They should be ashamed. I am ashamed to be governed by these politicians and their short-sighted decisions.
"You show nothing but disrespect to Andrew."
Bravery
Met chief Sir Mark Rowley said the case has had "a chilling effect on the confidence of police officers when they see a justice system that's not prepared to support their bravery". Tory leader Kemi
Badenoch said she backed a review of the killers' release.
Some 5,000 inmates are set to be freed early under sentencing changes – down from 6,000 after ministers exempted rapists and "serious" child sex offenders.
But Tiff Lynch, Police Federation chair for England and Wales, declared: "Those convicted of killing police officers have been left off that list. That is both deeply disappointing and impossible to justify."
The Ministry of Justice said freed prisoners face tougher probation conditions, including electronic monitoring and drug tests.
A spokesman added: "We share the anger from the police community that we are in this position.
"We wanted to go further and block more offenders from getting out sooner ...but could not do so without risking prisons reaching capacity and collapsing. If that happened, police could not make arrests, courts could not remand offenders and there would be unchecked criminality."

No sanctions for policeman who killed suspect
THE police marksman who shot dead Chris Kaba will not face disciplinary proceedings, a watchdog has said.
Martyn Blake shot Mr Kaba, 24, inset, in Streatham, south-east London, in 2022 after he tried to ram his way past police cars.
Sgt Blake was cleared of murder after an Old Bailey trial, but was accused of misconduct. However, after the government changed
BY MARGARET DAVIS
regulations around police use of force, the Independent Office for Police Conduct watchdog said this would now no longer take place.
The IOPC's Amanda Rowe said: "Our thoughts remain with Chris Kaba's family and friends." Met
Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the decision should be "a milestone moment to reset a police accountability system out of balance". He added: "The system holding police to account is broken."
Mr Kaba was in one of London's most violent gangs and was accused of being involved in two shootings in the six days before he died.

KIDS ON FRONT LINE OF FIGHT
EXCLUSIVE
BY RICHARD ASHMORE
PLEADING letters written by children in a village threatened by a migrant military base plan have appealed directly to the Prime Minister to save their future.
Andy Burnham, a father of three, may well be moved by these innocent requests for help from the youngest affected by Britain's out-of-control asylum crisis.
Piddington, a village in Oxfordshire home to around 250 adults and 46 children, is now in the line for plans to house 1,250 male migrants at a neighbouring former Ministry of Defence site.
Locals recently held a symbolic independence vote to leave the UK over the proposals, which they complain have been forced on them with no consultation.
Mostly fighting age migrant men could arrive in a matter of months and will be free to roam subject only to signing in and out.
A flimsy fence around the site runs directly along the back of several village homes and the line of the parish council playing field and park used by children, families and dog walkers.
Safety fears have been raised over asylum seekers congregating in the area and in the village, as they have done around similar sites elsewhere in the country. Now in a
The small village is in rural Oxfordshire
series of letters the youngsters of Piddington are writing to No10, urging the Prime Minister, who has just jetted off on a summer holiday, to heed their voices after their parents' pleas were ignored.
In one note, seven-year-old Rex worries roaming migrants will mean he may not be able to visit the grave of his sister who is laid to rest in the village.
In another letter, Orla West, nine, writes about the asylum plan that she does "not like" because "we love our park".
Constance Walker, six, tells the PM that Piddington "is the best" and that she loves walking dogs at the park.
Older sister Athena Walker, nine, says she is writing the letter "so we can carry on having fun".
Noting the impact of the site on her life, Tilly West, 11, points out she won't be able to use the park any more. She writes: "I will not have as much freedom when I'm older," adding her letter is for the people in the village "as well as the dogs, who won't be able to go sniffing in the bushes as much".

She and husband Jamie are now raising their own family in the village – sons Rex, seven, Ned, five, and nine-month-old Zac.
The grave of their beloved daughter Nancy, who died at nine and a half months in 2017, is in the village churchyard.
The letter from Gina's eldest son Rex is perhaps the most moving as he tells the PM he fears the government plans will stop him being able to visit her grave. He writes: "I worry I won't be able to do that." Gina said: "The letter from Rex,

"It's terrifying how these plans could change everything.

Finance sector worker Matt Walker, 49, has lived in the village for 13 years with wife Kirsty and daughters Athena, nine, and six-year-old Constance.
He said: "We moved here because we wanted to settle down and raise a family.
"It's not just a house, it's a home. Piddington is the perfect place to raise a family or it was the perfect place until these proposals.
"My daughters are getting to that age where they are going to want to cycle to the park and see friends.
"That's going to be robbed from them because with this site going to be next-door that's no longer going to be possible. Like any parent, you don't gamble with the safety of your children."
Matt said he and his wife had to find a balance between letting the girls know what is happening, while at the same time not giving them "nightmares".
He added: "Should this proposal go ahead and it becomes a real threat rather than a potential threat, obviously the conversation with them will have to change and that's going to be very difficult."
The national backlog of asylum applications stands at 98,000, with more migrants crossing the Channel every week. Terrifying scenes also emerged from the

In tackling the crisis, Labour vowed to stop housing migrants in hotels. But Whitehall risks shifting the problem sideways with plans to flood mostly rural ex-MoD sites with thousands of migrants.
As well as the proposal for Piddington, two more sites in Barnham, Suffolk, and Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire, could house about 3,750 asylum seekers.
The government is also looking to extend the use of existing military sites in Crowborough, East Sussex, until 2030 and Wethersfield, Essex, beyond 2027.
No10 said it would "consider the issues raised" and "investigate" the concerns set out in any letters sent by the children of Piddington.
A spokesman said: "The concerns of communities are central to our immigration reforms, which is why we are working with local authorities and others to make the system fairer by housing asylum seekers in basic accommodation, including ex-military sites.
"We have already seen results. The population of asylum seekers in hotels has fallen by 35% in the last year and by 63% from the peak of 56,000 in 2023.
"Overall, asylum costs have already fallen by nearly £1billion since the general election."

and it might change the way we live our lives."
Gina's son Ned notes how much he loves his village because it is "such a kind place" and he loves playing football.
Gina added: "I want to appeal to Andy Burnham, as a mother to a father, to say 'how would you protect your children if this was happening near you?'
"We have tried to reach out to the government and we have not been heard as adults, but now it's time to listen to the children.
"They need to be heard. This ultimately is their future and their
security and they have a right to feel safe and protected and this right is being compromised by these plans.
"I want to say to Andy Burnham as a father and not a Prime Minister, can you listen to our children?"
The strength of the community spirit in Piddington is what makes this village, like so many rural communities up and down Britain, a special place to raise a family, but Gina fears that "tight-knit" way of life is now at risk.
She added: "They say it takes a village to raise a child and this proposal is putting that in jeopardy. If I
had to take one of my children to the doctors I could knock on my neighbour's door and they would look after my other child.
"I see my mum every day and she was helping at our house the other night because my brother and his partner are getting married.
"Mum left the house at 11pm to walk home, but will she be able to do that in future?
"Even if they put 1,250 Scottish men or white British men at the MoD site, there is a danger."
Gina's mum Mandy Bayliss, 62, said as children she and her friends would go out and play from 8am
and not come back until teatime. She said: "It scares me my grandchildren will no longer be able to have the childhood that I had and previous generations have had.
"It's always been a safe village and everyone looks out for one another. We are a community and it is a unique place.
"We are very lucky as a family that we have been able to stay here because not everyone can do that.
"Our children's heritage left by so many generations is going to be eroded by these plans. There are other families in Piddington with as many generations going back as

ED Miliband dodged questions on his past criticism of Donald Trump as he joined his US counterpart yesterday.
The Foreign Secretary was asked if he still thought the US President, inset below, was "an idiot, a racist and a misogynist" as he met Marco Rubio.
The former Labour leader ignored the question and replied: "We are looking forward to our meeting."
Mr Miliband and US Secretary of State Mr Rubio were expected to discuss efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the Ukraine war and Gaza.
Ahead of their Washington chat, Mr Miliband said ensuring free passage through the key shipping route – which has been blocked amid the Iran war, sending oil and gas prices soaring – is "essential to ease cost-of-living pressures on British families".
He added: "The government is committed to nurturing our strong, enduring and essential alliance. We will also discuss how we can continue
to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine against Russia's war – as well as the importance of addressing the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and working towards a lasting peace."
White House aides were said to be concerned by PM Andy Burnham's decision to hand the Foreign Office brief to Mr Miliband, a onetime fierce critic of Mr Trump.
He led a net-zero drive as Energy Secretary – while Mr Trump has urged Mr Burnham and his predecessor Sir Keir Starmer to commit to more fossil fuel drilling in the North Sea.
In 2017, Mr Miliband said that Mr Trump had "lowered the bar for idiocy" and he later joined a Stop Trump march in London.
He also criticised the US president's "incredibly peculiar relationship with Russia" and accused him of lowering standards in politics.
Mr Miliband has also clashed with Mr Trump over net zero.
He has reportedly been given the nickname "Ed Miliwatt" in Washington circles – a dig at the allegedly small amount of electricity generated by his policies.
An ally of the Republican president has previously warned: "Trump doesn't forget. He will not forget.
"Miliband has some serious diplomatic repair to undertake."

Whitehall's contracts boost to work for youngsters
MINISTERS will scrap net-zero requirements for companies being awarded government contracts.
Secretary of State Louise Haigh said firms will instead have to prove they will help youngsters into work. Ms Haigh, effectively Deputy Prime Minister, insisted Whitehall will scrap a list of demands that companies have had to satisfy in order to win deals.
She added: "For too long, [public] procurement has tried to tick too many boxes. If you prioritise everything, then you're prioritising nothing."
Ms Haigh said the rules had included "a whole gamut of conditions around net zero, around the environment" and went on: "There were things that I think a lot of businesses would have struggled to prove, like tackling domestic abuse and improving

high streets. It became quite amorphous." The Cabinet Office's new "social value" model will require firms both in the UK and internationally to show they are creating jobs and opportunities in Britain.
The weighting given to "social value" will rise from 10% to 20% for contracts worth £5million-plus.
Guidance will be published in the autumn, and the change will come into effect from January.
Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, national secretary of the GMB union, said: "Using public money to create good jobs, apprenticeships and skills in our communities is the right approach.
"Taxpayers expect government contracts to deliver real benefits for working people and UK jobs, not just profits for suppliers."
She went on: "These changes have
the potential to support local employment, help young people into quality work and strengthen skills across the country.
"The focus must now be on ensuring these commitments are meaningful, properly monitored and lead to decent, unionised jobs that workers can build their futures on."
PM Andy Burnham, who is abroad on holiday, previously said that the government would change procurement rules to prioritise "social value" when giving out contracts, including whether firms offer young people work experience.
He told a podcast last week that he wanted to increase the number of 45-day placements given to 16 to 18-year-olds, which could improve their employability in a bid to drive down the number of young people who are not in education, employment or training – known as Neets.

Warning to obey trans ruling or face action
BY DAVID WILLIAMSON
LEFT-wing councils that fail to protect single-sex spaces have been warned by the head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission they will face legal action.
Mary-Ann Stephenson fired a shot across the bows of authorities tempted to flout guidance issued in the wake of last year's landmark Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
The guidance came into force this week and she warned: "[They will] realise they are obliged to follow the law.
"We have powers to take legal action."
Green-led Lambeth council last month backed a motion which said the code was "incoherent, self-contradictory and discriminatory".
It asked officers to "proceed with non-implementation should officers advise that this is a lawful option".
Ms Stephenson also told Times Radio yesterday that authorities rejecting the code could also face legal action from members of the public.
The guidance makes clear that single-sex facilities such as changing rooms and toilets should be organised on the basis of biological sex.
Green Party leader Zack Polanski blasted the code, saying: "These guidelines have been unworkable from the very beginning."
But Shadow Equalities Minister Claire Coutinho said: "The law is perfectly clear: single-sex spaces and services must be operated on the basis of biological sex only."

Labour is slammed for its 'borrowing bonanza'
BY KATIE HARRIS
LABOUR is under fire over plans for a borrowing bonanza in a bid to boost the economy.
Ministers are reportedly looking at exploiting a change in the fiscal rules to provide billions of pounds to spend on infrastructure, housing and businesses.
The proposals are being worked on ahead of Chancellor John Healey's first Budget.
They could raise more than £9billion a year.
The move is aimed at boosting the economy and the cash could be channelled to regional mayors. But the Tories warned the plan is "just more
Mel Stride says spending plans are 'just more debt'
borrowing, plain and simple", adding to Britain's eye-watering debt.
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: "Labour are trying to pull the wool over your eyes. This is just more borrowing, plain and simple.
"More money borrowed from the bond markets, more interest to
Sir Mel Stride's warning on interest charges
pay and more debt for your children to bear the brunt of. Labour cannot be trusted with the public finances and do not understand growth.
"More and more government spending hasn't solved our growth problem yet, so there is little reason to believe that an extra £9bn will make any difference."
The move is only possible because of a change to the fiscal rules implemented by Rachel Reeves when she was Chancellor. It allows the
government to count spending on infrastructure or equity in companies as "assets" to be offset against the cost of borrowing.
It is hoped the proposals would help deliver Prime Minister Andy Burnham's pledge for "growth in every postcode".
Mr Healey told The Times there was "scope for more and more rapid investment". He insisted his Budget, set for October 28, would "meet our fiscal rules".
The Chancellor has promised the statement will be "built on fiscal discipline" and move "money and power out of Westminster".
A Treasury spokesperson said: "The Chancellor is fully focused on his priorities, to boost business, help with the cost of living and support people in every postcode."
Driverless cabs backed
A FLEET of self-driving Uber cars to be used in London have been granted minicab licences.
Technology company Wayve said Transport for London has awarded private-hire vehicle licences for some of its autonomous electric Ford Mustangs.
Uber said some of the 100,000 people who signed up to ride in robotaxis will be offered trips this summer, ahead of a full launch.
A driver will sit behind the wheel ready to take control.
If the firms show the tech is safe they must get approval from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency to operate the cars without a driver.
Uber's Annie Duvnjak said: "This licence is a key milestone to bring autonomous rides to London on Uber."

A FORMER antisemitic internet troll has withdrawn as a Tory council candidate following a major backlash.
Joshua Bonehill-Paine, who was once jailed for harassing a Jewish MP, had been picked to contest a council election in Somerset for the Conservatives next year.
He said: "Rather than standing as a council candidate, I believe my experience is better used supporting Kemi Badenoch in her ongoing mission to combat the antisemitism and extremism dividing our nation.
"I have therefore informed the party of my decision to withdraw from next year's council election.
"And Kemi has instead offered that I become an adviser to the Conservative Party's culture and integration commission, focusing on how young men become radicalised."
Hatred
Tory leader Mrs Badenoch insisted he had been rehabilitated and said she was "sad" he "won't be given the space to explain his position and represent his community".
She added he would now work with the Conservatives on tackling radicalisation as part of the party's culture and integration commission.
She said: "If we are going to stop extremism and antisemitism we are going to need help from those people who were part of the problem, but have now changed and are being part of the solution. Piling on them and trying to get them cancelled may be sport for other parties, but this is a

different Conservative Party." Mr Bonehill-Paine was jailed in 2016 for two years after he was convicted of racially aggravated harassment of Labour's Luciana Berger.
He was already serving a separate jail sentence of more than three years for producing an advert for a neo-Nazi rally illustrated with a picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp, which promised "an absolute gas".
The Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council had called for the Tories to change course, while Baroness Berger said he should not have "any role in public life – because of both his racism and his view of women".
Reform UK said: "It beggars belief Kemi Badenoch has hired a former neo-Nazi. A self-professed fascist who has been jailed for publishing antisemitic material, will now have a say over Conservative Party policy."
"This is alarming news for the Jewish community in Britain."
Labour slammed for 'wrong' £381m aid boost to Palestine
LABOUR will spend 50% more taxpayer cash on aid for Palestine than it will on protecting British Jews, figures have suggested.
Ministerial questions revealed that some £381million would be sent to Palestine in the next three years.
That's 50% more than the £250million pledged by the government to protect Britain's Jewish communities.
Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel, inset, said: "Labour's priorities are all wrong. This extraordinary funding, some of which will likely end up in the hands of the undemocratic and unaccountable Palestinian Authority,

exceeds funding recently pledged for protecting British Jews from antisemitic violence and hatred.
"Labour's overseas aid spending spree is likely to lead to more Labour tax rises."
A government spokesman said: "We should not conflate the situation in the Middle East with the abhorrent attacks on British Jews. We make no apologies for our work supporting fragile and conflict-affected states, including places like Palestine and Ukraine."

TV presenter and dog trainer Graeme Hall is the latest contestant announced for Strictly Come Dancing.
Known as "The Dogfather", he said: "I can't wait to get started." Graeme, 59, was the 11th contestant to be unveiled yesterday for the star-studded line-up.
He is known for hosting hit Channel 5 show Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly and showcases his expert knowledge on ITV's This Morning and BBC radio.
Graeme is also an author, penning several books on dog training, canine behaviour and understanding pets.
He said: "I can't believe I am joining the cast of Strictly for 2026.
"I have always loved dancing, so to have the opportunity to learn from the best is a dream.
Challenge
"I have watched the show for years, so to be a part of it feels like a very exciting challenge, albeit more than a bit nerve-racking
"I can't wait to get started. Bring it on!"
Graeme revealed his latest venture in a video on the Strictly Come Dancing Instagram page.
Describing himself as "that dog fella off the telly", he said: "Come September, you're going to see quite a bit of me on the dance floor.
"Because you guessed it - I'm doing Strictly! How exciting is that?"

However, it is not the first time a celebrity has set foot in the arena.
The BBC's all-star spin-off saw the likes of Vogue Williams, Joe Wicks, Rob Beckett and Joel Dommett take on the Gladiators.

And former Olympian Sharron Davies was Gladiator Amazon during its original run in the 90s.
Marler will be joined by familiar Gladiator faces including Apollo (Alex Gray), Comet (Ella-Mae Rayner), Diamond (Livi Sheldon), Nitro (Strictly star Harry Aikines-Arveetey) and Dynamite (Emily Steel) in the upcoming series.
Marler rose to fame as a rugby union player for Harlequins and England. The former loosehead prop also represented the British and Irish Lions.
He has pivoted towards a career in TV since retiring from the sport.
He featured on shows such as Michael McIntyre's The Wheel, Blankety Blank and recently took part in Soccer Aid 2026.
His appearance on the Celebrity Traitors last autumn turned him into a TV star. He became a fan favourite with his shrewd analysis and friendships with comedians Joe Wilkinson and Nick Mohammed.
Marler formed an alliance with Ted Lasso star Mohammed, who later backstabbed him at the final roundtable and voted him out - creating a viral moment and sparking massive online reaction.
Gladiators returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer next year.

Thames Valley police chief has our support
FEW will have heard of Jason Hogg, but not only is he on the right side of the law, he will be on the right side of history.
The Thames Valley chief constable has broken ranks and spoken up against Labour's ludicrous decision to set free thousands of criminals.
One of his officers, PC Andrew Harper, was killed in the line of duty in 2019.
Two of those responsible – smirking killers Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers – are now due to be set free.
Officialdom often has a reputation for cowardly silence, especially at times when leadership is required, and so in putting his head above the parapet Mr Hogg deserves huge respect. The police are often damned if they do and damned if they don't.
But how on earth can they begin to fulfil their primary function in keeping the public safe when the very people who should be locked up are free to continue with their criminal activities?
Far from being the long arm of the law, police will be forced to operate with one hand tied behind their back.
The lives of millions are blighted daily by crime. Victims want a justice system that sides with them, not with violent thugs like Cole and Bowers. That Mr Hogg is considering legal action against the government over the early release of PC Harper's killers shows which side he is on.
He has our full support and also that of the public.
Village in the vanguard
OXFORDSHIRE might be wealthy and located in the rural Home Counties, but it is not immune to the problems facing the rest of Britain.
Piddington, near Bicester, could see its population quadruple if the government plonks 1,250 single male migrants in a new asylum centre there.
The village has already voted to leave the UK in protest at plans to house men – many of whom do not speak English and who have no legal right to be in the UK – in the Bicester Garrison military installation.
Although that referendum was symbolic, anger bubbling over at the proposals is most certainly not.
Locals argue the community cannot possibly absorb that number of people and attempt to live with the consequences.
Labour's inability to deal with the illegal immigration emergency has led to the same problems being felt in almost every part of the UK right now.
It has left the people of Piddington with no faith that the government can now secure Britain's borders, so they think they can control their own.
Padel power sweeps UK

Women still face
fight to protect
single-sex spaces
ONE YEAR after the Supreme Court's ruling on the legal definition of sex, I didn't think we'd need to see our public institutions dragged kicking and screaming into compliance. But nothing surprises me anymore, so I'll take the small wins we get.
You may be wondering why such a basic, common-sense issue has become one of the defining struggles of our time. After all, since when was reality decided upon by the assertions of individuals? And since when was declining to join in treated as a punishable offence? Self-identification, believe it or not, is not a royal decree.
It's because misogyny still runs deep in our societies, even when it's being repackaged and espoused by misguided women and their gender-bending allies.
Seriously, does it get much worse than the concerted pushback to women saying they want spaces reserved only for them, regardless of how men feel about it? What could possibly justify telling women to suck it up and "reframe" their trauma, as the transgender chief executive of Edinburgh's rape crisis centre suggested not so long ago?
At the risk of sounding callous, men not wanting to be reminded that they aren't women should never be the basis of public policy. Ever. And neither should the constant howling that transwomen pose little to no threat to women.
Transwomen, contrary to bizarrely popular belief, are still biological men, and their trans-identifying status has little bearing on their propensity to engage in assault or violence against women. The rates of transwomen offending are similar to those of biological men, and that is all we need to know.
IT ISN'T just me saying it. A 2011 study, cited by three academics in evidence to a recent parliamentary committee, found that male to

female transitioners retained a male pattern of criminality. And in criminology it's widely accepted that men commit vastly more crime than women.
Ministry of Justice figures from 2020 to 2022 put men at 99% of rapes, more than 90% of sexual and weapons offences, and more than 80% of violent crime. So spare me the hurt feelings of people who think their "lived experience" should trump the data and how women relate to it.
The other objection I've heard is that the conviction of an individual trans person doesn't constitute evidence of a wider social trend. Well, that's convenient, isn't it?
The trouble is that the number of transwomen in this country is so vanishingly small, and the policing data so scant as a result, that a single conviction shifts the figures. Are women supposed to ignore the male status of these individuals
because campaigners don't like the way the numbers stack up?
In what other area of public life would we be asked to disregard the available data to spare the feelings of a group? I don't hear the same crowing over urban youth crime statistics, where young black men are heavily overrepresented.
Where's the campaign to neuter policing there, to spare a group demonstrably more likely to engage in certain kinds of criminality? Besides, true allies would never ask women to compromise their own security so that men can avoid being reminded of their biology.
All of which makes today feel bigger than it is. The new code runs to 342 pages and doesn't rewrite a single line of the Equality Act. Self-identification was never the law, and a case back in 2022 said so plainly. Yet hospitals carried on asking female nurses to change alongside male colleagues, and men
'The only thing left now is meaningful enforcement'
who found a female identity somewhere between the dock and the cell carried on being housed with women.
Kishwer Falkner, who chaired the equalities watchdog while the code was drafted, puts it simply. These organisations were acting unlawfully all along, and most hid behind the line that they were waiting for government guidance.
Well, now they have it.
THE ONLY thing left is meaningful enforcement. Falkner has warned that the commission doesn't have the money to take these cases up, which leaves women to enforce the law themselves and at their own expense. Green-led Lambeth Council has already backed a motion refusing to implement the code. The government, meanwhile, sat on the finished document from September until May before troubling Parliament with it.
So yes, a win. At least now a woman told to undress next to a man has something to point at in court. But nobody should mistake a code of practice for a rescue, and the women who dragged this to the Supreme Court will likely be funding the next round too.

Joke is not funny any Mor, Harry
THE SUSSEXES' plea for "privacy" is now beyond a joke. After their recent visit here, it's emerged they took a "secret" trip to Tanera Mor, a remote Scottish island. The trip was so secret that not only have full details of their travels emerged, but we've even seen pictures of the boat they sailed around in.
There is no way such detail could have emerged without Sussex say-so, and yet this is the same Harry who recently lost a high-profile case against a newspaper he wrongly accused of hacking his phone, among other crimes. Haz himself is probably too dim to see the irony.
The next time he moans about his privacy, someone should tell him to shut up.

Labour's Neet trick is all smoke and mirrors
HAS THERE ever been a more delusional and incompetent party than the current Labour lot? On gaining power they made up a £20billion black hole in the economy in order to justify raising taxes, attacked the farming industry, probably simply on the grounds Jeremy Clarkson is among their number, and spent the next two years harping back to Liz Truss.
This is a woman who spent 49 days at Number 10, had most of her mess cleared up by Rishi Sunak and is largely forgotten by the electorate. But, according to Labour, she is still to blame for our economic woes and the last lot never stopped talking about her.
And now it's Michael Gove's turn. According to the laughable Education Secretary Lucy Powell, it's Gove's fault that more than one million young people are not in education, employment or training (Neets). By forcing schools to concentrate on academic subjects, she said, they had neglected those more suited to practical training.
What complete and utter codswallop. For a start, Michael Gove was the best Education Secretary we've had in decades and, if Labour seriously thinks he was wrong to press for better educational standards, then that says a great deal more about them than it does about him.
Secondly, the real and only reason we have so many Neets is Labour's maine attack on the employment market. Rachel Reeves, the UK's worst Chancellor ever, imposed higher taxes on jobs, inevitably meaning there were fewer of them.
Increased regulations mean it's all but impossible for youngsters to find a Saturday job, something that was the making of many of us, while Angela Rayner's Employment Rights Bill means yet more restrictions on people who actually want to hire more employees.
When Labour came to power the percentage of Neets was 13%, now the youth unemployment rate is 16.4%. Just what has Michael Gove to do with that?
It is politics' loss and journalism's gain that Mr (actually, Baron) Gove finally had enough, stood down at the last election and is now the editor of an excellent magazine.
But it's our loss, too, because after this criminally stupid government is finally voted out of office, we're going to need a few bright sparks to clear the mess. Slowly, but surely, they are beginning to emerge. And thank goodness that Kemi Badenoch, at least, is really beginning to shine.

CAMBRIDGE RISKS REPUTATION IN PROFESSOR'S PLAGIARISM PALAVER
WHAT on earth has happened to the University of Cambridge? A huge row has blown up over Jason Arday, who, at 37, became the youngest black person it has ever appointed professor, of Sociology of Education (the fact such a subject exists at all at Cambridge says it all.)
Arday has been accused of plagiarism, exaggerating claims of extreme physical prowess (he said he run 600 miles in six days) and now
even making up an appearance on the television series Seven Up – which was broadcast decades before he was born. He has since admitted some errors in his work, but this is an absolute joke.
As it happens my father was a Cambridge-educated professor at Manchester University: he won a scholarship to Cambridge, achieved a double starred first, and in his PhD produced groundbreaking work in the field of pure
mathematics that changed the understanding of the subject.
History does not record Arday doing any of this. I was also at Cambridge and while my own record is nothing like my father's, I knew some brilliant people who aspired to and didn't get an Oxbridge professorship.
Cambridge risks becoming a laughing stock unless it urgently addresses this murky episode.

MORE than £140million in forgotten cash is sitting in council coffers across England, Scotland and Wales – and a portion of it could belong to you.
The money, which is credit built on closed council tax accounts, was last estimated to be owed to around 800,000 households, according to a Freedom Of Information request from Money Saving Expert (MSE).
Average refunds pay out around £100 per household, which could make for a nice little windfall over the remaining summer months if you're owed.
MSE said the most common reason councils are still holding on to the cash is people moving home.
Because council tax is usually paid in advance – often spread over 10
monthly instalments – moving out mid-month or mid-year can leave your old account in credit. If you didn't pay by direct debit, or if you moved to a different local authority without forwarding your address, your old council will have had no automated way to send you your money.
The account will have just been marked as "in credit" and then swiftly
forgotten about. You could also be owed cash if you forgot to cancel a standing order after moving, or if your previous home was retrospectively placed into a lower tax band after you left. You're most likely owed if any of these moves were made after 1993.
If you think you fit the criteria, find out if you're owed by checking if your council has a "council tax refund claims form" by giving that a quick Google. If it doesn't, phone or email the council instead.
There are a few more tips and tricks to legally reduce your council tax bill if you're eligible. It'll pay to know, as a staggering £3.3billion worth of this kind of support went unclaimed last year. That's the thing – you have to claim it;
How to get
your slice of £14um
this support is not automatic. If you live alone, you get a 25% single person discount. If others live with you but are "disregarded" for council tax (like full-time students, live-in carers, under-18s or those with severe mental impairment), you may still get a 25% discount. If everyone is disregarded, the discount increases to 50% and the property may be exempt.
Homes adapted for someone with a physical disability may also qualify for a reduction. If you're on a low income or certain benefits, such as Pension Credit, the Council Tax Reduction scheme run by your local council could reduce your bill further or cover it all. Check your council's website or call to see what help you can get.
DEAL OF THE WEEK
KIDS up to age 12 can eat free at Prezzo this month if dining in, provided an adult main is bought from the à la carte menu. Register an account with Prezzo online and show the discount code to staff. One "free" kids' meal per adult main.
IF YOU qualify for the Warm Home Discount, make sure you don't miss a vital deadline this month.
The discount, from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), is worth £150 and is applied directly to your energy bill in winter.
You could be eligible if you receive certain means-tested benefits, such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit or Housing Benefit and this year six million households are expected to receive it. To get it, your name must be on the electricity bill by Sunday, August 23.
If your name isn't on the account for any reason, such as a house move or you've split up with a partner, energy suppliers won't be able to match your details. The same goes for pre-payment key or card users - if the
registered account isn't in your name by August 23, you'll miss out.
And with energy bills forecast to get pricier from October, with current predictions placing them around 2% to 7% higher than now, you won't want to skip that saving.
If you do anything today, take two minutes to check your energy account. Make sure at least one person in the household who receives a qualifying benefit is explicitly listed as the account holder. If you find that the wrong person is named, contact your supplier to update the account before the August 23 deadline.
And do spread the word, ask friends and relatives if they qualify, and check they're named too. Many eligible people miss out because of this simple slip-up - don't let it be you.

Accused outside Athens court
Suspect in court after body found in suitcase
BY RACHEL VICKERS-PRICE
A MAN accused of killing a woman and disposing of her body in a suitcase has appeared in an Athens court charged with homicide with intent.
Authorities have not publicly confirmed his identity, but it has been widely reported that the man who stands accused of killing Elisabeth-Jane Ross, 38, is Sharif Ahmadzai, 26.
The charity worker's body was discovered by a homeless man in a derelict building in the Kypseli area of the Greek capital on July 18.
The suspect arrived at court yesterday for a private hearing alongside a number of police officers. He was then seen leaving the court one hour later.
Elisabeth-Jane's body found
It has been reported that he was assigned a court-appointed lawyer during the hearing and will appear back in court tomorrow.
Homicide with intent is understood to be equivalent to a murder charge in the UK.
The court appearance comes days after harrowing CCTV footage went public, allegedly showing the killer as he pushed a body through the streets of Athens in a suitcase.
In the video, a man can be seen lugging the large, black case through the city centre. The footage tracks the path of the man as he slowly made his way towards an abandoned building.
It is alleged that he then dumped the body of Elisabeth-Jane, from Edinburgh, before leaving. Greek officials said he has denied the homicide allegations.
KING Charles stopped to admire a rose named in his honour that has Scot the lot as he began his summer break north of the border.
The monarch planted The King's Rose - created by David Austin Roses - in the Walled Garden at the Castle of Mey in Caithness, the former home of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
Appropriately dressed for the region, if not for a spot of gardening, the monarch wore a tartan kilt and sporran as he added the new shrub.
The two-acre Walled Garden, restored by the
BY FRANCES MILLAR
Queen Mother, is protected by a 15ft-high stone barrier from the harsh coastal winds. It features colourful rose beds, a shell garden and a productive kitchen garden supplying vegetables and cut flowers for the castle.
Chris Parkinson, head gardener at The Castle and Gardens of Mey, said: "My goal is to create more focal points in the garden, it felt like some repetition existed so we are going back to a different style, and creating interesting features
that make you want to have a nosy round time and time again." Traditionally, the King spends the first week of August at the castle every year.
The visit coincides with the Queen Mother's birthday on August 4. She died at Windsor in 2002 aged 101.
The King's Rose is a repeat-flowering shrub rose with magenta-pink and white blooms surrounding a bright yellow centre. It was created in partnership with The King's Foundation and is available from David Austin Roses for £35, with £2.50 from every sale going to the charity.
Glitter, 82, charged with sex offences against girl
PAEDOPHILE pop star Gary Glitter allegedly plied a schoolgirl with chocolates before inviting her to his luxury home where he repeatedly molested her, a court heard.
The disgraced glam rocker is charged with a fresh batch of sexual offences dating back to the 1970s against a girl who was aged between eight and 11 when he committed his alleged attacks.
Glitter, 82, appeared via videolink at Westminster magistrates court charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and three counts of indecent assault on a girl under 14 between 1978 and 1981.
There is one alleged victim.
Jonathan Polnay KC, prosecuting, told how the alleged offences occurred when the complainant, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was of primary school pupil age.
The alleged offences took place at Glitter's home address in Kensington and Chelsea, West London, near where the girl lived, it was said.
It is claimed Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, would give the
BY PAUL JEEVES Crime Editor
girl chocolate and "invite her into his house where he then committed a number of serious sexual offences". Glitter is serving 16 years in jail for child sex offences. He looked frail on screen as he appeared from a room at HMP Channings Wood in Devon.
After being asked to confirm his name, Glitter said: "Your honour, excuse me. I'm extremely deaf and unless I'm lip-reading I can't hear. My name is Paul Gadd."
Investigation
Mr Polnay said Glitter told police in an interview he did not know the complainant, and insisted that the allegations against him were false.
Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring remanded Glitter into custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on September 2. He added it was "to be determined" whether this would be via videolink or in person.
He told Glitter: "You face charges that include an offence which is
indictable only, which means only the crown court can deal with it.
"The other three charges are related because it's the same complainant.
"In that circumstance, all four charges are sent to crown court, the Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey, where you will appear on September 2."
The Metropolitan Police previously said the allegations were first reported to the force on January 9 last year and that Glitter was interviewed on July 22, 2025 in relation to the investigation.
Glitter was one of the biggest chart stars of the 1970s, selling 18 million records in five years.
He enjoyed huge success with a string of hits including Rock and Roll (Parts One And Two), I'm The Leader Of The Gang (I Am) and Do You Wanna Touch Me. He had 26 hit singles, which spent a total of 180 weeks in the UK Singles Chart.
His final UK top 40 hit came in 1984 with Another Rock and Roll Christmas.

BEFORE Taylor Swift, there was Shania Twain. She's the best-selling female artist in the history of country music, with more than 100 million records sold and five
Grammy awards to her name.
And her hits You're Still the One, Man! I Feel Like a Woman! and That Don't Impress Me Much brought her a fortune estimated at more than $400million (£295m).
But her life has been touched by heartbreak – tragedy that has shaped her career and nearly ended it before it had even begun.
Shania grew up in Timmins, Ontario, Canada, in a home marked by poverty and violence, and blocked out the pain of her upbringing with music.
On November 1, 1987, when she was 22, her mother Sharon and her stepfather Jerry Twain were killed when a logging truck hit their car head-on near Wawa.
She heard the news by phone while studying in Toronto. "I collapsed hearing that news over the phone," Shania tells The Arts Hour on the BBC World Service.
"My sister called me and I could hear my little brother bowling in the background. We were all just reeling together. The kids could not be separated after that accident."
Shania moved back to the family home and became responsible for her younger siblings and for winding up her parents' affairs. She says: "I wasn't allowed to grieve because I was thrown into this state of guardianship.
"I had to do a lot of things I knew nothing about, like take out a second mortgage for the house, to sustain what was going to happen next.
"I had to understand the accident reports – loads of things nobody would ever want to have to go through –step by step. It was just terrible."
Music had to wait until her mum's friend Mary Bailey, who became her first manager, found her a job at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario.
SHANIA says: "So, I'm in this variety show in a golf resort, six hours from our home town. So I had to move the kids to Huntsville, as I had an income that was steady and I could still sing.
"I couldn't travel around and leave the family, so I was very lucky to have this and at least be in a steady job and all us kids could stay together." The resort paid the bills for three years, while the dream stayed alive in the songs she kept writing. Shania says: "Songwriting is at my core, that's my joy. I kept sharing my demo tapes with Mary. She became like a second mother and would give me feedback."
One of those demos reached a music lawyer in Nashville, who came north to hear her sing.
Shania says: "He's blown away to the point that he comes all the way to the resort to hear me sing live. And when I sing the song Wind Beneath My Wings he just couldn't believe it. Now, at this point, I've been at the resort for a while. I can sing in stilettos, I can wear a
sequinned gown, I can present more like a world class performer.
"I learned so much at this resort. I thought I would be there forever – paying bills, which I was grateful to be able to do. I knew, eventually, the kids would go away and it would be too late for me to have a career. I was only 30 when I had my first top 10 song."
She says: "So the stall was there in my efforts to become a recording artist, but the heavens opened, because I was finally discovered. It was a proper discovery. A proper big-wig from Nashville, Tennessee."
That moment around a table in Nashville gives her latest album its name. Shania says: "And I go to Nashville, Tennessee, and I sit

around that big, round table and they say 'little Miss Twain, please sign your name'.
The signature launched a career that reshaped country music, though the success would bring its own trials.
She married the producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange in 1993, and together they made Come On Over. Their son Eja was born in 2001.
In 2003, a tick bite on her Up! tour left her with Lyme disease and the voice disorder dysphonia, and she went through open-throat surgery. For years no one could tell her why her voice kept cutting out.
Shania said in her Netflix docu-
mentary Not Just a Girl: "My voice was never the same again. I thought I'd lost my voice forever. I thought that was it; I would never, ever sing again."
Her marriage ended in 2010, after Mutt had an affair with her best friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud.
N 2011 Shania married Frederic Thiebaud, that same friend's former husband, and the couple now live mainly in Switzerland.
She has acted, too, making her film debut opposite John Travolta in the 2018 drama Trading Paint
and playing a grieving mother in the 2020 film I Still Believe. Now 60, she is back with her seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain, released last month, a record that returns to the country roots of her Canadian childhood.
Shania said of the voice she rebuilt: "I'm never going to have my old voice again. I'm OK with that. I've found a new voice. And I like it."
She has inspired a new generation of artists. Country singer Orville Peck said in her film Not Just a Girl: "She reached through the stereo and made me feel safe when I was a young kid."
Harry Styles is another fan. He asked her to wish his mother a
happy birthday down the phone because his mum had raised him on Shania's music.
She says: "I called her up and wished her happy birthday. Harry and I have been friends ever since."
She was in London, opening for Harry, across his 12-night run at Wembley Stadium last month when her friend Taylor Swift married in New York.
But she'll be forgiven for missing the big day – as Taylor is one of her biggest fans, with an admiration that goes back a long way.
In a 2008 blog post, written after the two first met, Taylor, 36, revealed she was starstruck when meeting her hero, saying: "Shania
Twain, as in the reason I wanted to do this in the first place. Shania Twain, as in the most impressive and independent and confident and successful female artist to ever hit country music. She walked up to me and said she wanted to meet me and tell me I was doing a great job.
"She was so beautiful, guys. She really IS that beautiful.
"All the while, I was completely starstruck.
"After she walked away, I realised I didn't have my camera. Then I cried."

Tribute to 'beloved' girl as man appears in court over death
BY LUCINDA CAMERON
THE family of a nine-year-old girl who died after being found injured at an industrial estate on Monday have paid tribute to her as a man appeared in court yesterday charged with her murder.
Minnie Merriman, from West Yorkshire, was discovered at just after midnight at the Elliot industrial estate in Arbroath, Scotland, while her family was camping in the area.
The youngster was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where she later died.
Christopher Rice, 35, of Wakefield, West Yorks, was charged with murder when he appeared at Forfar sheriff court yesterday.
He did not enter a plea and was committed for further examination and remanded in custody.
Rice is expected to appear in court again within the next seven days. Police were called to the industrial estate following reports that a child had been injured.
Officers have said he and Minnie were known to each other.
Minnie's family have paid tribute to her in a statement released through Police Scotland.
They said: "We are devastated with the loss of our beloved, absolutely incredible, beautiful and brave Minnie Moo.
"Our family asks that our privacy is respected at this extremely difficult time."
Minnie is believed to have been camping in the area with her family, who police say are being supported by specialist officers.
Detective Inspector Mike Ness, of Police Scotland's major investigation team, said: "Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by these events, especially Minnie's family. A police presence will remain in the area while our inquiries continue.
"Anyone with any concerns, or information, should approach officers or contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0008 of Monday August 3."
It is understood West Yorkshire Police are supporting Police Scotland's investigation.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches
5,400mph SpaceX rocket 'smashes into the Moon'
A ROCKET owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX is believed to have crashed into the surface of the Moon.
Experts have said a 90ft crater would be left by the impact, with debris scattered across the surface, causing potential issues for future expeditions.
The SpaceX rocket is said to have smashed into the Moon yesterday morning, travelling at 5,400 miles per hour.
It was the upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket, which weighed four tons and measured 39ft long – the size of a five-storey building.
Experts urged space companies to take much more care in how they treated the lunar surface.
Leicester University's Hannah Sergeant said: "It is not a good thing to be randomly sending debris into the Moon. It's not something we should be making a habit of. What if it hit a site of special interest? What if it caused damage to the historical

Apollo landers?" Astronomer Jennifer Millard of Fifth Star Labs said: "This collision is a bit of a red flag for what's going on up there.
"We're at the dawn of the second space age, and in a few years' time the idea for astronauts is to go back to the Moon and stay. It's not these little 'few-day jollies' that we had in the days of Apollo.
"Imagine if an out-of-control rocket body was to hit a crewed lunar base."
Dr Matt Bothwell, astronomer at the University of Cambridge, said while the collision was a "nice little neat experiment on the Moon" he also warned space is becoming more crowded with space debris – human-made objects in orbit around the Earth.
He added: "It could feasibly be within a few decades hard to get past Earth's orbit because
space is so crowded. It's called space debris and we should absolutely worry about it."
When SpaceX launched the rocket in 2025, the heavy payload – taking two lunar landers to the Moon – required more thrust than usual. It resulted in the rocket floating uncontrollably in space and eventually falling into an orbit that put it on a collision course with the Moon.
Julianna Scheiman, SpaceX's director of Nasa science and Dragon programmes, said the rocket's path resulted from a combination of solar activity and gravitational forces rather than a planned manoeuvre.
The rocket struck near the Einstein Crater, on the Moon's western edge facing Earth, with an impact said to be equivalent to 15,000 sticks of dynamite. Nasa scientists are hoping for some sort of photographic or physical evidence of the crash in the next 24 hours.

DAYS?
BY GILES CHAPMAN
IT was 25 years ago that a quirky British car – the country's favourite three-wheeled vehicle – rolled off the production line for the last time... The Reliant Robin had enjoyed more than two decades of on-sale popularity, earning an army of fans.
Owners loved the Robin's economic running costs, but ardent devotees endured constant mickey-taking, including from the likes of BBC Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson, for driving a "plastic pig".
It was notorious, sometimes seen as a joke, but many enthusiasts still look at it with affection.
When writing a book about the Reliant Robin's history, I met the man who created its neat original styling, industrial designer Tom Karen who at 89 regarded it fondly. He said: "I am quite proud of that car. There was no point in being dishonest, in design terms, about the fact it was a three-wheeler.
"Even though it's a four-seater with a four-cylinder engine, it still had to weigh less than 8cwt (64st). And this required a lot of innovation."
He said: "The glass hatchback was my idea. It was a neat design and, because it used flat glass, it was very inexpensive to make. With Reliant, every-
thing had to be the cheapest item they could get hold of, but that was part of the challenge."
The Reliant Robin has such fame that other three-wheelers are often mistaken for it. Only Fools and Horses' Peckham wheeler-dealer Del Boy's yellow van is actually a Reliant Supervan.
As is the Reliant which frequently frustrates Rowan Atkinson behind the wheel of a green Mini in Mr Bean.
The Robin's roots are in 1935 Staffordshire where, working in a disused Tamworth bus garage, motor-
cycle engineer Tom Williams produced his first Reliant three-wheeled van.
Little more than a metal box with a motorbike front wheel sticking out, at just £84, it proved irresistible to thousands of sole traders, for being useful and cheap to run.
In 1953, Tom launched his first passenger
ROCKIN' ROBIN

It's 25 years since the three-wheeler last rolled off the production line
factured himself, it could take two adults and two small children in the back. While lacking luxury, it gave dependable family motoring with a tiny thirst for petrol.
In 1956, a MkIII version introduced a saloon body made from a new, lightweight wonder material – glassfibre.
Like all Reliant three-wheelers, the
unladen weight was not allowed to exceed 64st, around 406kg. Despite its normal steering wheel and four seats, the Reliant hid a guilty secret – it wasn't legally a car at all.
It was a tricycle, meaning owners only had to pay motorcycle road tax, and a Reliant could be driven on a motorbike licence. Thousands of former bikers – once they had married and had children – could upgrade to something more practical without taking a car driving test, or wearing crash helmets.
That was a very attractive proposition in
the 50s, and sales boomed. Reliant's success continued throughout the 60s, with its later Regal 3/25 selling more than 100,000.
The Robin became the Regal's successor in 1973, now with a stylish new look and that glass hatchback. With a cost-of-living crisis similar to today's, the £801 Robin made perfect sense, because it could eke out a gallon of petrol over 70 miles at a steady 40mph.
There was one less tyre to replace, and the motorcycle tax benefit continued. However, despite a roaring start to sales, a 1978 scandal knocked the Robin off its perch. Driven
carefully, there was little chance the car would tip over.
But the Robin's steering could develop a defect where bolts fell out and it would be uncontrollable.
Exposure in the Consumer Association's Which? magazine and on the BBC's That's Life! programme was terrible publicity and customers shied away.
The car was then renamed the Rialto in 1982. The company still sold 40 cars a week. But it was a shadow of the Robin's 70s weekly peak of 330. The Robin name was
resurrected in 1989 and the three-wheelers motored on until 2001. Then, after several bankruptcies, the Reliant name was dead.
I once decided to take the plunge and buy one myself, finding a 1992 Robin on an online sales website and getting it for £150.
Because the keys had been lost, I never managed to get it started.
However, over a few weekends of cleaning it up, I came to admire and dislike it in equal measure. There was real ingenuity in the way

all its fittings, such as the wafer-thin seats and a single windscreen wiper, were used to keep it within its legal weight limit.
On the other hand, it would have been uncomfortable for anything other than a trip to the local shops.
And as the bodyshell was little different from a large margarine tub, the thought of even a minor accident gave me shivers. After
a few months in my garage, I sold it for £400. Among the dozens of classic cars I've owned, it's the only one that ever actually gave me a profit!
Elvis Payne is the founder of the Reliant Motor Club, which celebrates turning 10 this year and has members worldwide. He said the cars can now be worth £2,000-£2,500 if in good condition.
He explained: "I've had several and it definitely is a practical car for everyday use. There are a few thousand of them on the road still. However, I think it helps to be good at DIY, because you do need to tweak them to keep them going."
Sadly, the Robin disappeared in 2001 because it had become too expensive, costing up to £10,000 per car.
E
LVIS says: "It was built by hand and the company couldn't make the cars at a price people could afford.
"Also, the actual customer market was shrinking. The 70mpg fuel economy wasn't an advantage any longer. Most normal cars can easily do that these days.
"Unfortunately, I think its time is over, especially with the surge in electric microcars today."
But car designer Andy Plumb, who was hired to give the Robin a final, comprehensive restyle in the late 90s, and has also worked on three-wheeled sports cars for Morgan, believes that a back-to-basics Reliant could now have a bright future.
He said: "The original Robin was a masterpiece of product design. It featured many interesting and cutting-edge features.
"The two categories of three-wheeler layouts are incredibly capable in their own right.
"The tadpole layout of the Morgan is sporty and dynamic with its single wheel at the back, while the delta layout of the Reliant, with single wheel at the front, is very practical.
"This is why I believe a new Robin would be relevant in today's society, going back to its roots as a local or 'last-mile' delivery van, rather than being a family car."
Another Robin van appeared in the 2015 movie The Lady in the Van, starring Maggie Smith as an eccentric pensioner who lived in an old Bedford van in writer Alan Bennett's drive, but used a Robin as her runaround.
The perfect, quirky choice.

Diabetes jab slashes heart attacks
GIVING Mounjaro to people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease could slash the risk of heart attacks, a study suggests.
Those taking the jab were 33% less likely to have a heart attack when compared to patients on another type 2 diabetes drug.
Mounjaro is used on the NHS to treat type 2 diabetes and severe obesity.
The US study, published in The BMJ journal, included almost 53,000 people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease who had started on Mounjaro or sitagliptin, another diabetes drug.
Researchers tracked major adverse cardiovascular events - which include heart attacks, strokes and death from any cause - among the two

groups. After a year, the risk was 2.9% among those on Mounjaro compared with 4.4% in the sitagliptin group.
Researchers estimate this is the equivalent of preventing one case for every 70 people.
Mounjaro slashed the risk of heart attacks by a third, although there was no meaningful difference found for strokes. However, Mounjaro did lower cases of hospital admissions due to infections.
One hospital admission was prevented for every 48 patients, according to researchers.
It also prevented one death from any cause for every 122 patients.

Rollout of
159 centres offering 24/7 mental health care
BY HANNA GEISSLER Health Editor
PEOPLE struggling with their mental health will be able to seek swift help at 100 new neighbourhood centres, the government says.
The sites offer walk-in support from a wide range of specialist teams without a referral.
They are designed to prevent people reaching crisis point.
Some 59 dedicated mental health emergency departments will also be opened to prevent those who need urgent care spending hours in A&E.
Located in emergency departments, they will provide a calm environment where patients can be assessed quickly.
Ministers called the £353million rollout the biggest redesign of mental health services in a generation.
Vital
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said: "Nobody should be left to struggle with their mental health alone. But thousands of people are waiting months for help, then finding the only door open to them is a busy A&E.
"These new centres will be a lifeline for so many. They will bring NHS services closer to home, making it easier to get support before problems get worse, and ensuring those in crisis get the right care in the right place."
Demand for mental health services has risen sharply, with an estimated 9.4 million people in England – one in five – affected by a common mental health condition.
A recent NHS survey of 2,000 adults found almost three in five people suffering from conditions such as PTSD, anxiety and OCD delayed seeking

support. The rollout follows the success of six pilot centres.
Mental health specialists at the centres will work alongside GPs, councils, voluntary organisations and families, with direct links to housing and employment support.
The first sites will open this autumn, with more following from March 2027.
Some will be newly built facilities, while others will be in libraries, banks and high street locations.
Brian Dow, deputy chief executive at Rethink Mental Illness, welcomed the plan. He said:

Patients can get multiple problems tackled at once
THE Daily Express visited the
Barnsley Street Neighbourhood
Mental Health Centre in East London last September.
It was described as a "safe haven" by one patient who had received care following a suicide attempt and struggles with alcoholism.
While in hospital, James, 28, had been offered a choice between returning home alone or being admitted to a psychiatric unit.
Instead, staff from Barnsley Street stepped in to offer him a room at the centre, where he could live independently with staff always nearby if needed.
James had previously been in touch with separate teams for mental health, cognitive behavioural therapy,

anxiety and alcohol services. At the centre, he was able to sit down with multiple experts to deal with overlapping issues. Consultant
psychiatrist Dr Sheraz Ahmad, Barnsley Street's clinical lead, left, said the walk-in hub model was radically different to often fragmented local services.
He added: "We're trying to do away with all the fragmentation so we're not referring people who then wait eight weeks for a reply, then need another appointment and have to repeat their whole story. We want to try to build a relationship.
"You get to know them, and they can start to trust you a little bit."
"Everyone should be able to access mental health support in their community, when and where they need it. The expansion of neighbourhood mental health centres is a vital step towards making this a reality, building on the promising results of existing pilot sites.
Crisis
"By bringing together treatment and wider support services under one roof, these centres can transform experiences of care, helping people to access support earlier and preventing them from reaching crisis point." Dr Nick Broughton,
the NHS's national priority programme director for mental health, learning disability and neurodevelopmental conditions, said: "NHS teams are already working to provide mental health support closer to where people live, alongside specialist care for those who need more urgent help.
"The rollout of more community mental health centres and dedicated mental health emergency departments will build on this work.
"It will strengthen both early support in the community and care for people in crisis, while helping services work together more effectively around people's needs."

£750,000 whisky collection kept in converted pigsty up for sale
Bill Garratt with collection
A RETIRED farmer is selling one of Britain's biggest whisky collections – which he keeps in a converted pigsty – for £750,000.
Bill Garratt, 81, has spent four decades amassing more than 5,000 bottles of whisky, including rare examples dating back to the 1800s, along with thousands of pieces of Scotch-related memorabilia.
The pensioner's collection grew so large that he was forced to store it in a converted 100ft-long pigsty in Ravensden, Bedfordshire, with security systems. His treasures include
BY ADAM DUTTON
1,800 single malts, 1,800 miniature bottles and around 500 blends, with some bottles worth more than £6,000.
The grandad-of-two, whose favourite is an 18-year-old Macallan, said he stumbled into collecting after a friend gave him a bottle of whisky.
He added: "I got to 1,000 bottles in the house and my wife was getting a bit fed up with it. We had old pigsties and I adjusted two. If it wasn't for my age, I wouldn't be selling this. I want to pass it on to someone else to enjoy."

Zelensky more help
VOLODYMYR Zelensky appealed to allies yesterday to urgently supply better defences after Russia killed another 17 people and injured more than 50.
The Kremlin missile and drone onslaught slammed into Kyiv and its surrounding region with Ukraine's air defences desperately exposed.
It is believed President Zelensky's forces have used up their US-made Patriot missiles, the only weapons capable of downing the ballistic weapons killing civilians.
Mr Zelensky said yesterday: "It is crucial that our partners realise that delays in their delivery or a reluctance to provide anti-ballistic systems lead precisely to such horrific casualties and destruction.
"Partners who are not ready to help more actively with the supply

of interceptors right now can help by imposing new sanctions."
Tuesday night's raid was one of the most brutal offensives of the year. It focused on the Ukrainian capital and its surrounds, with more than 30 explosions ringing out in the night as bombs and drones rained down on civilian targets.
As Kyiv braced to be hit by more attacks, a Russian drone million-
aire was yesterday fighting for his life after being hurt in a car bombing. Executive Vladimir Tkachuk, 35, was badly injured and his bodyguard killed south-east of Yekaterinburg after a device planted beneath a Mercedes-Benz was detonated. Russian police and security

calls for

services have launched a manhunt for anyone involved in the bombing more than 1,000 miles from the Ukraine border.
Tkachuk is the latest in a string of associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin targeted for their involvement in the war.
Victims
Meanwhile, Ukraine attacked another major Russian Wildberries outlet with deep-strike drones. The attacks on the e-commerce outlet hit sites in Russia's Tula region, amid accusations by Kyiv that the company supplies goods to the military.
The Russian attack on Kyiv and the wider region set buildings ablaze. It was last night feared victims could still be trapped beneath buildings.
Mr Zelensky tried to maintain a diplomatic posture after US President Donald Trump stepped back from a
promise of helping with Patriot missile production. The Patriot PAC-3 system is currently the only weapon capable of reliably intercepting Russia's Iskander-M ballistic missiles.
The Russian missiles carry warheads powerful enough to destroy large sections of apartment buildings. The horror being unleashed upon Ukraine's civilians was ordered by Putin as his invasion of the country shows signs of faltering.
Mr Zelensky recently revealed his troops have video evidence of Russia losing 30,727 military personnel to drone strikes alone in July.
Last month, Mr Trump promised to help Ukraine further, pledging: "We'll give them the right to make Patriots. We'll show them how to do it." But several weeks later, he has appeared to retreat, saying: "We have not agreed to that. We're talking about it, but it's a hard thing to give away that kind of technology."
Behold, it's a magic chick!
FIVE tiny chicks from an endangered African bird of prey have hatched at Chester Zoo.
The hatchlings are the first secretarybirds ever bred at the site in its 95-year history, with conservationists hailing the achievement as a major milestone that could transform breeding efforts for the species.
It is hoped the breakthrough arrivals will help secure the future of the threatened bird.
The chicks were born to parents John and Joiane, who arrived at the Cheshire attraction as part of an international conservation breeding scheme. Across
BY FRANCES MILLAR
the entire European programme, there are just 79 birds, and only three other chicks have hatched elsewhere in the past year.
Keepers believe techniques developed at Chester could now help other zoos improve breeding success.
Andrew Owen, head of birds at Chester Zoo, said: "Every chick hatched in conservation zoos is becoming increasingly important for the future of this remarkable species. With five new chicks, we're playing a leading role in the conservation of these incredible birds."

It's the racket sport that's taking Britain by storm with its blend of tennis and squash... As the UK's first professional padel tournament opens at Olympia, London, DOMINIC BLISS goes courtside to witness its appeal
IT'S HIGH summer in west London and The Grand Hall at Olympia exhibition centre is echoing to the sound of balls on rackets, punctuated by vigorous applause from spectators. But it's not tennis that's being played here. It's a different racket sport entirely – a Spanish import called padel.
This is Premier Padel, the world's top professional padel circuit. Showcasing their skills are the strongest players, most of them Spanish or Latin American, as well as a handful of Britons on wildcards.
Crucially, this is the first time an elite padel tournament has been staged in the UK. Its official name is London Premier Padel P1 – and it's a sign of just how much this sport is booming right now.
According to its governing body, there are currently a million amateur padel players in the UK, up from just 15,000 in 2019. Dotted around the country there are 2,000 or so courts at more than 600 different venues – ranging from vast indoor warehouses and upmarket private clubs to open-air courts in parks and leisure centres.
Thanks to some serious blue-chip investment and impressive celebrity endorsements – including the French president Emmanuel Macron, footballers David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, actors Tom Holland, Antonio Banderas and Eva Longoria, and singers Shakira and Enrique Iglesias – the sport has gained an international foothold.
British rapper Stormzy has even invested in a network of London clubs called Padel Social Club. "Padel isn't just another sport," he said when the clubs launched. "It's got something that draws everyone in, whether you're new to the game or already hooked, as I am."
This is all great news for a sport that was only invented in the late 1960s and which initially struggled to gain traction outside of its Spanish-speaking heartlands. But what are the reasons for its meteoric rise?
Played on an area smaller than a tennis court, with a net strung across the middle, and glass and wire mesh walls surrounding it, it is gloriously simple to play. In a way, it's a hybrid of tennis and squash, with a doubles team either side of the net, and the scoring system mirroring that of tennis.
The balls are lower in pressure than in tennis, so they bounce more slowly, while the rackets are easier to wield. Serves are delivered underarm and, like squash, shots can be struck after the ball bounces off the back
and side walls. Since padel is always played as doubles, competitors have far less court space to cover.
While tennis beginners usually require weeks of practice before they can string together a decent rally, in padel, with just basic co-ordination, you'll be doing it in minutes.
Louie Harris, 24, is the number-two-ranked male player in Britain. Originally from Cardiff and now based in London, he is
PADEL
competing at Olympia as a wildcard. "It's a sport that, once you try it, you just love it," he says. "It's a new sport, it's trendy, it's fun. It's very accessible, very easy to play. It doesn't really matter what age you are or if you're not physically the most able.
"At an amateur level it's massive. That's why there's so many people who get hooked really easily."
Minter Dial is the host of a podcast called The Joy of Padel and has been playing since 1974. He stresses just how sociable his sport is.
"There's a close proximity between players on the court, so that you have the ability to talk to all four all the time," he says. "It's not like a golf club where you have to be silent and follow all the rules.
"You've got lots of padel courts where you
even have music playing. So there's a vivacity, a natural Spanishness. Rule number one in this sport is to have fun."
IT WITH only 600 playing venues across the UK, court hire can prove eye-wateringly expensive. Padium,
in London's Canary Wharf, for example, charges up to £100 an hour. At Padelhub, in the north of the capital, the top price is £80 an hour. In other parts of the country, it's not always so pricey.
Tom Murray is a former British international player and now head of padel at the sport's governing body, the Lawn Tennis Association. Aware that some court costs can be prohibitive, he works with local
DATES
27
authorities to encourage the installation of new courts.
"There's a lot of red tape in this country – building regulations, planning applications etcetera – and for good reasons," says the 44-year-old. "But as padel becomes more known, I think those barriers [to construction] are reducing."
However, he is keen to avoid the boom-and-bust situation that occurred in Sweden a few years ago, when thousands of padel courts were built, resulting in a glut of unused facilities. Since then, many of the Swedish courts have been deconstructed and moved to other countries.
"The boom and bust that happened in Sweden is a blessing in disguise," Murray explains. "Here, it's going to be more sustainable growth because of that. We're growing more slowly." Unlike the more estab-
lished racket sports such as tennis, squash and badminton, padel is a relatively new kid on the block.
It was back in 1969 that a Mexican businessman called Enrique Corcuera first invented it – the word "padel" being Spanish for paddle, the name of the perforated racket that is used.
He wanted a racket sport to play in the back garden of his holiday home in Acapulco. But with limited space, he was forced to keep the court small. Surrounding walls were added to
Tom Murray, Aimee Gibson and Louie Harris. Believe Britons will soon be a smash at padel
prevent balls from rolling on to neighbouring properties.
From Mexico, Corcuera's invention transplanted itself first to Spain and then across Europe and Latin America.
The first professional league wasn't established until 2005. Nowadays the sport is dominated by the Premier Padel tour, but it still struggles to nurture elite players from outside of the Spanish or Portuguese-speaking world.
Spaniards and Argentinians dominate the world rankings, so among the top 30 in both genders there are only four players who hail from other countries – two Brazilians, a Portuguese and an Italian.
But the British are finally starting to make their mark, helped by a governing body which already has a very successful track record in producing tennis players. Currently ranked 101 in the world, 34-year-old Aimee Gibson is also competing at Olympia.
"We definitely need more coaches," she says. "More clubs with junior academies – that's going to help us get the junior players coming through. Because at the moment, [juniors] are maybe having to go to Spain to be with the best coaches and to train with the best players. But it's an exciting time for padel in the UK."
OWHERE is that excitement more evident than beneath the barrel-vaulted roof of Olympia's Grand
Hall. As Aimee talked to journalists, close by on the centre court Spanish-Italian duo David Gala and Enzo Jensen Sirvent were dismantling Spanish-Argentinian duo Pablo Garcia and Leonel Daniel Aguirre. Granted, the stands were barely a quarter full and the atmosphere rather muted, but British fans were witnessing a quality of padel rarely seen on these shores.
In the adjoining National Hall were three further match courts, with more Hispanic players competing. Elsewhere in the Grand Hall were practice courts and commercial stalls selling padel clothing and equipment.
Most popular of all, though, was a miniature court where spectators can try the sport out for themselves.
Tom Murray is confident padel will grow even further, especially once it makes its expected Olympic debut. Realistically, he says, that could be at the 2036 Olympics, the host city of which has yet to be decided.
"It's heading the way of becoming an Olympic sport. Everyone's very optimistic," he says. "But I think it's got to grow a lot more and be played in a lot more places."
Given the popularity of amateur padel across the UK, perhaps we can eventually be one of the nations to perform. But first we need our players to break into the top echelons of the sport. Currently, our most successful player is Catherine Rose, the sole Briton ranked within the world's top 100; and at number 97, that's only just.
Back at Olympia, British player Louie Harris is optimistic about his and his compatriots' potential. "There's no reason why you can't make it here," he says. "I really hope so. But it's going to take a bit longer."

Blind Milo just champion using 'equine braille' in return shot
BY ADAM DUTTON
BLIND horse Milo is tipped to return as a dressage champion after learning an extraordinary form of "equine braille".
The 15-year-old Appaloosa has stunned judges and spectators by winning two events despite losing sight in both eyes.
The 16-hand gelding relies on a unique combination of touch, hearing and rider cues to navigate surroundings after being struck by devastating eye condition uveitis at 13.
Owner Megan Share, 2B, says Milo uses the feel of the ground beneath his hooves to build a picture of the world around him.
Megan, who runs Debbie Riding School in Kidderminster, Worcs, said: "He's using his hearing and feel of touch with his feet, it is like a Braille technique.
"Milo is just an amazing horse and hasn't let blindness stop him being a potentially world-class dressage competitor."
The target for Milo, who returned to competition last year, is a return
to the elite dressage ring, with qualifiers for the Horse of the Year Show and London International.

I sleepwalked off 2nd-floor balcony
Mum fights back from horror injuries
A HOLIDAYING mum was in a coma for three weeks and left with a brain injury after she fell 40ft from a balcony while apparently sleepwalking.
Raina Heverin plunged two storeys into a Paris courtyard after opening a window.
She suffered a bleed on the brain, punctured a lung and broke a hip, arm and several ribs.
Raina, 44, said: "I was in Paris for a long weekend with my brother and sister-in-law.
"We had spent the day walking around Paris. We went back to the apartment at about midnight – but I don't remember anything after that."
She had swapped bedrooms with the couple after traffic at the front of the property kept her awake, and slept in a quieter room at the back that had a Juliet balcony.
At 6am her brother saw the bedroom door and window were open – and spotted Raina lying motionless in the courtyard.
She said: "My brother and sister-in-law were in disbelief. It was really horrible for them." A neighbour helped the couple call an ambulance.
Raina, from Liverpool, said: "I had a broken arm and a big scar down my arm, I broke my hip, I punctured my lung...lots of broken ribs. If I had been found a few hours later I definitely wouldn't be here." Before the fall, she ran
BY JAMES CONNOLLY
two businesses and raised Cian, 10, and Aliyah, eight. She exercised daily, regularly ran 10km, cycled and lifted weights.
A doctor told her family that fitness had helped save her life.
Raina spent two months in hospital in France then had a week at Whiston Hospital and five months in Broadgreen Hospital, both on Merseyside, before moving to a brain injury rehab unit.
She was diagnosed with neurological condition ataxia, which affects balance and coordination plus muscle movement and has tremors in her hands, body and throat.
Raina said: "It's hard for me to do normal things...like putting on mascara or holding a cup."
Her first memory on waking from the coma is husband Michael reading aloud to her.
She said: "I think I'm still grieving my old life. I feel lucky and unlucky." Raina wrote a book to help her children understand her brain injury and why she has changed.
Raina raised more than £4,000 for Liverpool-based The Brain Charity, completing a 5km challenge by walking 40 laps of her garden in four days, helped by family and friends. She said: "It feels like a massive achievement."

MERC'S NOT-SO MINI UPGRADE
The all-new Mercedes GLA mini SUV will arrive later this year and it's getting one of its biggest ever updates.
Along with a roomier cabin and sharper styling, it features a bold illuminated grille with 158 micro-LEDs embedded at the front, which puts on a light show every time you unlock the car. Futuristic audio even booms out of the bonnet to welcome you back and say goodbye when you lock up.
For the first time, the GLA will also be offered as a fully electric model.
Mercedes says it can travel more than 400 miles between charges, meaning drivers could cover journeys from London to Edinburgh without
stopping. Once things do run flat, a range of over 150 miles can be added in a flash. Hop inside and the upgrade continues with an interior that's covered in a massive Superscreen. Even the front passenger can play games and watch movies on their own dedicated 14in display.
These panels are more like a widescreen TV and a giant iPad than a dash, with Mercedes boasting customers can access more than 40 popular apps.
These include games and premium streaming services such as YouTube and Disney+. Even DAZN is arriving soon, offering sporting action from the comfort of the car. Making things even
smarter inside is the Mercedes MBUX Virtual Assistant.
This clever personal buddy combines AI from Google and ChatGPT to answer questions, recommend restaurants, find attractions and help plan journeys. The GLA can even park itself if you hate squeezing into spaces.
Elsewhere, customisable ambient lighting lets you tailor the cabin to your mood, while a huge panoramic glass roof floods the interior with light.
Mercedes is on a mission to revamp its whole range, with the GLA now joining the new-look CLA and GLC.
The upgraded GLA is available to order now with prices from £45,400.

DATA LIFELINE
AIROLA ESIM
All those smart home alerts are no use at all if you don't have mobile data abroad. If your phone contract doesn't include free roaming, it's worth downloading an eSIM before you travel.

Ring remains a top choice with this Amazon-owned brand offering wired options and more DIY friendly battery versions, which are easy-peasy to install.
A top choice is the latest Battery Video Doorbell, which gets improved video quality, impressive zoom, easy charging and a sleek slimline design.

Always dropping your iPhone and breaking your MacBook? Have no fear, Apple is now offering a new plan to ease the worry of expensive repair bills
Anyone a little accident-prone will definitely want to check out a new service from Apple. The US technology giant is finally offering its AppleCare One subscription to UK customers, which will protect multiple devices for a single monthly fee.
For £16.99, AppleCare One covers up to three eligible gadgets, including iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches.
If a device is accidentally damaged, lost or stolen, Apple will repair it or provide up to three replacement devices per year, with no questions asked.
The new service builds on AppleCare+, which already offers unlimited accidental damage repairs, battery servicing and 24/7 priority access to UK Apple support. The big difference is that AppleCare One lets customers protect multiple products with a single subscription, rather than paying for separate plans.
This not only simplifies things but can also lead to significant savings.
Apple says someone covering an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch could save up to £11.48 a
month. Another major advantage is that you don't need to buy a new gadget to take up the offer. The firm says eligible devices up to four years old can be added to the plan, provided they're in good condition.
That's a huge improvement over the usual 60-day window for purchasing AppleCare+ after buying a phone or laptop.
The new plan also adapts when users upgrade. So, when trading in something old for a replacement from Apple, that product is automatically removed, and the new one is added to the subscription without any extra hassle.
"At Apple, we're focused on creating and delivering exceptional experiences," said Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
"With AppleCare One, customers in the UK can now enjoy the trusted protection of AppleCare+ in a way that's simpler and more flexible than ever before – one plan, one price, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing all their eligible products can be covered."
GAMING NEWS
By TOM HUTCHISON
STAR FOX OHINTENDO SWITCH 2, £49.99)
The legendary Star Fox sci-fi franchise returns to Nintendo's latest console, and its shiny new look and classic gameplay are a brilliant combination.
The original game came out in 1993 on the SNES and was a bit of a wow for 3D gaming at the time, thanks to its then new polygonal graphics.
Flash forward the best part of 33 years, and we have the same team of animal heroes in a somewhat rip-off Star Wars universe fighting new space battles on the Switch 2 handheld.
The result is excellent – it uses the very best graphics we've seen on the relatively new console, combined with instantly recognisable gameplay and a wonderfully built universe for you to enjoy.
Maniacal scientist Andross is back as the big baddie, and of course, so is foxy hero Fox McCloud, this time with shiny, detailed new cutscenes straight out of a Pixar-style movie.
And so too is the Star Wars aesthetic, as you'll pilot X-wing spaceships – known as Arwings – into battle.
And of course, you have to basically save the universe.
The game features a variety of different modes, including Campaign Mode, where the objectives you complete, foes you defeat and other actions you take can alter your route and what you do in each stage.
It feels intuitive and looks amazingly smooth on screen as you button bash and combine skills to take down armies of starships.
A great addition to the Switch 2 library and a must-buy for gamers.
Taking it to the Max
NEW MOTOROLA PHONE
Samsung and Apple may still dominate global phone sales, but Motorola is fighting back with the launch of an impressive new device.
The Motorola Edge 70 Max arrives with two standout features that even its biggest rivals can't currently match – a huge battery and ultra-fast charging.
Head inside the Edge Max and you'll find a massive 7,100mAh silicon-carbon battery, designed to keep streaming, gaming and scrolling going for far longer between charges.
And unlike traditional lithium-ion cells found in most phones, silicon-carbon technology packs more energy into the same space, delivering increased life without making phones thicker or heavier.
When the battery does finally run low, Motorola has another trick up its
sleeve. Plug it into the mains and things will be boosted at rapid speeds thanks to 90W TurboPower charging.
Motorola boasts that this technology can provide enough juice for a whole day after just six minutes plugged in.
The battery performance has already impressed the experts at DXOMARK, which awarded the Edge 70 Max its coveted Gold Label for battery life and charging.
Away from its power credentials, Motorola has packed in plenty of flagship features.
The phone sports a sharp 6.82in Quad HD+ (2K) display, while Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor powers everything from demanding games to AI features.
The Motorola Edge 70 Max is on sale now in the UK for £699.99.
GTA6 SALES
Gaming blockbuster Grand Theft Auto 6 is predicted to generate eye-watering sales of up to £3.85billion in its first week on sale.
Analysts said that roughly $180million (£135million) in digital preorders have been made across the US and the five biggest European markets for the upcoming guns and gangsters blockbuster.
And experts believe this indicates record-breaking sales worldwide as gamers battle for a copy of the much-wanted sequel to 2013's action hit GTA5.
The game, due out on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S only on November 19, may well be the most expensive game ever made, with parent company Take-Two estimated to have spent between $1billion to £1.5billion so far (£770million to £135billion).

It was only launched last year, but Omoda has already upgraded its flagship 9 SUV.
Key changes are a new suede headliner, massage functionality for the front seats, and further electric adjustment for both the driver and passenger. The suspension and steering have also been tweaked with a revised intelligent damping system.
A Black Noble grade has also been introduced for £46,495 with a black exterior finish and chrome replaced with darker elements. The car continues to use a plug-in hybrid set-up - a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a large 34.46kWh battery. There's vehicle-to-load technology too so you can power external devices such as kettles or air pumps.
All cars come with a seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty. Both variants can be ordered now.

ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding for a minute's silence in memory of an old friend, one who has caused older motorcyclists among us
tendless hours of frustration in times gone by, but in recent years has reached such peak perfection that it seems both sad and ironic that it now looks as if it will not be with us for much longer.
I refer to the clutch, for after riding the Hornet fitted with Honda's new e-clutch, I fear that all across the land, bikers will begin to look at their left hands, scratch their heads and wonder what they're for—their left hands, that is, not their heads, since bikers, being mostly blokes, don't use their heads.
Anyway, where was P Ah yes, the Hornet, whose name dates back to the CB600F of the 1990s.
In 2023, it became a 755cc parallel twin, but stuck to the same winning formula of a fun, affordable naked roadster.
And a winner it was – since then, it's been one of Europe's most successful middleweight nakeds, selling over 42,000 bikes.
So why change a winning formula? Well, the short answer is that Honda hasn't. Aesthetically, the only change is a reshaped headlight surround, which, with the bike's slim waist and bulbous tank, makes it look just like a hornet, especially in the yellow colour scheme.
So the only significant difference to that 2023 bike is the e-clutch. As I said in my review of the Transalp, this is a work of genius, letting you stop, start, and ride all day without touching the clutch, doing so infinitely faster, better, and more smoothly than a quickshifter, even the best of which never work well in low gears at low revs. It's so effortless that it's easy to think you're riding an automatic, as in
Many may mourn the demise of the traditional
clutch, but GEOFF HILL finds that Honda's CB750 Hornet comes with an e-clutch that's pure perfection
Honda's DCT system which has been fitted to several bikes since the VFR1200F in 2012.
However, even if you're a complete idiot and pull up to a red light in too high a gear, a chevron flashes on the dinky TFT screen reminding you politely that you still need to use your left foot to change down to first.
The bad news is that at first I thought it suited the 216kg Transalp much better than the 196kg Hornet.
If the latter was a human, it would be one of those edgy people who sit tapping their fingers and jiggling their knees, impatient to be off.
On the road, with that light weight, 17in wheels compared to the Transalp's 18in rear
and 21in front, and a wheelbase of 142cm compared to the Transalp's 156cm, dancing through the mountain bends on the launch in Portugal was more
of a frenetic jive to the elegant waltz of the plusher, more comfortable Transalp.
Even in Standard mode, the e-clutch wasn't as smooth as on the Transalp, and Sport mode made progress seem more like an on-off
switch.
But then something strange happened. I started to dial into the eager nippiness of the bike.
With the Transalp's greater weight and wind resistance, overtaking means downshifting a gear or two, whereas the Hornet sails past everything in sight with effortless aplomb.
Then the torrential showers of the morning cleared, the sun came out, and I had a glorious
last hour, swooping and diving from the mountains to the sea with the snarl of that peach of an engine in my ears, a song in my heart, and a smile on my face.
So while taller riders who plan long days in the saddle will prefer the Transalp, the Hornet offers the same package of agile, affordable fun it always has, with the added bonus of that magical e-clutch.
Even better, it only adds 4kg and £100 to the base model, which makes it a no-brainer.
Good price, too – cheaper than the Triumph Trident 660, Yamaha MT-07 and Suzuki GXX-8S, none of which have that game- changing e-clutch.
Now all I need to do is figure out what to do with my left hand.
Oh, I know – scratch my head and drink beer, although not at the same time.

Pick of the day
FAKE OR FORTUNE BBC1, 8PM
RENOVATION RESCUE, CX, 8PM
WIDOWED artist Penny thought the mid-terrace house she'd bought on the Sussex coast was the perfect place to make a fresh start. Did it need a bit of work? Of course not! It needed loads.
But a builder quoted her a price she was OK with, and assured her he'd have it transformed in seven months. Eighteen months on, it does indeed look different, but not in a good way. Having had such a rough time of it, Penny is clearly delighted by the arrival of Renovation Rescue's Vogue and Luke. Especially the latter. "You're very handsome," she tells him – swiftly adding: "It's all right, you're too young for me."
CORNWALL: A YEAR BY THE SEA, S, 8PM
MATT Smith once sheared 731 sheep in nine hours. That's one every 44 seconds.
Even more impressively, it wasn't even the Matt Smith who used to whizz through time and space in his Tardis.
Had it been that Matt Smith, with his two hearts and his sonic screwdriver, I'd have thought, "Yeah, typical. Blooming show-off."
But no, this Matt Smith is a Cornwall-based Kiwi. You can see this Matt, a world record holder, doing his thing tonight at The Royal Cornwall Show, where sheep shearing is a big thing. Also, did you know that shearing 250 a day burns as many calories as running a marathon? You do now.

IT'S THE GREAT BRITISH FAKE-OFF
ELL me, if you had £75 million to spare (maybe you do, I shouldn't make assumptions, should I?), then what might you spend it on? A superyacht? A private jet? A Premier League striker? Or, I don't know, maybe an awful lot of sweets and fizzy pop? Enough to give you a really bad tummy ache. Your choice.
If you asked me the same question – I realise you haven't, but humour me – then I can tell you one thing I definitely wouldn't blow that sort of money on, and that's a painting.
Not because I'm not a lover of paintings, but because I'm not a lunatic.
Seventy five million quid on a painting is insane. And yet, as Fiona Bruce reminds us in
this week's Fake Or Fortune (I say "reminds" us, as if I was even remotely aware of this), that's the amount someone forked out, or its dollar equivalent, for a work of art by Lucian Freud called Large Interior, W11, at a New York auction in 2022.
Admittedly, as paintings go, this one is huge, at just under 40 square feet. Had it been, say, a tenth of that size, then maybe the buyer could have got it for a tenth of the price. But then the Mona Lisa is nearly 10 times smaller and apparently that's worth billions. None of this makes any sense.
Anyway, the point is, even if you own a work of Freud's that's relatively modest and understated, you could still be sitting on an awful lot of money.
And if you own several, like the chaps we
meet tonight, then... ker-ching! Or at least potentially ker-ching, because first you need to convince a bunch of experts that these works – in this case, 15 unsigned prints, found in a garage – are the real deal.
Art experts, as we're reminded every week on this show, can be quite nit-picky and thus a pain in the neck. But you have to go along with what they say, because they know best.
So will tonight's specialists, examining these prints of Freud's etching Girl With Fig Leaf, give the owners the news they want to hear? If so, each item could fetch up to £30,000.
That's a potential £450,000. OK, it's not enough to buy them that Premier League striker. But it's almost enough to pay his wages for a week.

ON THIS DAY
Crime does pay in Britain's soft-touch justice system
THE early release of two thugs who killed PC Andrew Harper proves our PM supports criminals over police officers and the public ("Victims of crime deserve so much better than this", August 5).
As a detective for more than 30 years, I saw how everything is loaded in the criminal's favour.
Most offenders I dealt with used taxpayer-funded benefits as a basic wage, treating criminality as a tax-free bonus. Once in custody, they receive taxpayer-funded briefs who often advise "no comment" interviews, hindering inquiries.
Career criminals then elect for Crown Court trial, gambling on our lenient, blinkered judges for a lesser sentence. The taxpayer picks up the huge bill every step of the way.
To solve prison overcrowding, we should double-up in cells. A bit of "hot bunking", like the Navy used to do, might make criminals less likely to re-offend. Crime pays handsomely, while the hard-pressed taxpayer pays the ultimate price.
Dick Bedford,
Cullompton, Devon
No prison for non-violent offenders but hang killers
THERE are far better ways of dealing with overcrowded prisons than releasing criminals early.
First, stop sending people to prison for non-violent, white-collar crimes. Second, restore the death penalty for murderers, serial rapists and paedophiles. It is an insult to the memory of victims and families for these thugs to be looked after in better conditions than many of our poorer, law-abiding citizens.
My heart goes out to the family of PC Andrew Harper, whose killers Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers are being freed having served just half of their totally inadequate sentences. Our namby-pamby judicial system places far more value on protecting the rights of criminals than it does on upholding the rights of victims and families.
Robert Readman,
Sevenoaks, Kent
Never release murderers, rapists or paedos early
I CANNOT understand how the government is so confused over the early release scheme. Surely the simple exclusions should be violent crime, including murder, manslaughter, assault, conspiracy, and aiding; sexual abuse, including rape, conspiracy, and aiding; domestic abuse, including violent, non-violent, sexual, stalking, and aiding; and child abuse, including violent, sexual, non-violent, conspiracy, and aiding.
It is time for Andy Burnham's government to ease back on the happy-clappy announcements and start making meaningful decisions.

LETTER OF THE DAY
French police's watching brief as illegals head for the UK
We can't rely on France to guard border
WE HAVE paid France nearly £1billion to stop small boat crossings, yet their police watch on beaches as their navy escorts boats into British territory ("How many more lives will you risk by doing nothing?", August 5).
However the problem is far more fundamental. It begins on Europe's outer borders, as seen during the Ceuta influx, and is worsened by the Schengen Agreement, which allows illegal migrants to wander the continent freely. We cannot police Europe but we can take charge of our own borders.

plan for Navy to halt Channel crisis", August 3). Migrants will be returned to France or Belgium by the Navy or Marines and medical checks and a joint military command will be set up with units from the Navy, Marines, RAF and Army.
Nigel has rightly stated this is a humanitarian mission and complies with the ECHR and is a solution to the migrant crisis and, as he states, such missions "do not violate a maritime or international law".

Follow Spain's lead and send migrants back home
I DON'T see a problem with Nigel Farage's intention to immediately return illegal Channel migrants, as if Spain as an EU country can immediately deport more than 50,000 illegals, what's stopping us?

Make dream team work for the sake of our nation
RUPERT Lowe's olive branch to Nigel Farage is vital, but their personalities may clash ("Lowe in move to end Farage lead", August 3). Lowe is a quiet, industrious figure who wants to restore this country. Farage shares similar,
though less radical views but is more of a showman. But they need to gel. Both want what we all do: a common sense government and justice. They would be insurmountable together.

The Gaul of it! Is Nigel trying to start a war?
SO, NIGEL Farage will send in the Marines if the French try to refuse returned boatloads of illegal immigrants, will he?
Has he considered the French also have Marines? Three forces in fact. Should the Elysée Palace decide they don't want these interlopers back, can we look forward to our first shooting match with the French since we sent "Boney" on his extended holiday on August 7, 211 years ago?

Saber rattling a campaign strategy for Clacton votes
DEPLOYING the Royal Navy to stop Channel crossings is a pipe dream hyped by Nigel Farage to rustle up votes in Clacton.
The overstretched Navy cannot fish out migrants who would rather risk death than return to France.
And France would simply refuse to disembark them from British warships, or just return them later. Engaging in such a battle would invite costly retaliatory tariffs on British imports from across the EU.
With years until the next general election, numbers will fall. The Reform UK bandwagon will slow as this government proves more pragmatic. Farage may not even be in the UK by the next election.

AI has its first emperor's new clothes reality check
IT'S ABOUT time some little boy said the AI emperor has no clothes on. If things carry on as they are, it will continue consuming ever increasing areas of land, energy and investment ("March of the data centres" August 4) – and for what?
AI, like all computing – even quantum – is just ones and zeros, accessing in microseconds every aspect of a problem ever recorded, and generating and analysing every possible scenario to produce the optimum solution – but not a single original thought.
No political philosophy, religion, sport, Beatles or Michelangelo of Sistine Chapel.

JETSETTER ED SHOULD BE A TEAMS PLAYER TO SAVE MILLIONS
I WONDER when the government and civil service will join the rest of us in the 21st century, instead of all of this jetting off around the world for meetings ("Miliband faces icy welcome in the US", August 5).
Surely Ed Miliband and his crew could be introduced to Teams, it's
a Microsoft program don't you know... been around quite a while and you can hold a meeting from your office at very little cost to the taxpayer. It will lessen the burden on us taxpayers. Just an idea, but it's time for the government to get real.

At first all's well, but then, oh no. A sudden storm begins to blow.
The fishermen watch anxiously As the first boat puts out to sea.
The friends ignore Jinks, for everyone's attention is on the boat being launched into the calm sea. As the boat turns towards the entrance to the bay it starts to get rougher, not much, but more than you'd expect on such a fine day. Everyone - except Jinks - watches anxiously. The boat has almost reached the open sea when a groan goes up from the onlookers. In an instant the sea is whipped into a fury and the boat is hurled back towards the shore.

'Damning' 22 months of job losses in the service sector
A JOBS slump across the services sector has deepened despite data suggesting that the UK economy benefited from a boost to growth.
Researchers at S&P Global showed employment was cut across the private sector for the 22nd straight month.
The overall purchasing managers' index score for the economy – a leading indicator of performances among businesses – came in at 52.2 in July, above the 50 neutrality mark for no change in activity.
The contrast between services growth and job cuts reflects broader shifts across the economy, as analysts said the prolonged period of employment struggles compared with trends seen during
the 2008 financial crisis and the fallout of the dotcom bubble crash.
S&P director Tim Moore said: "A rebound in activity and new business could not prevent a further decline in staffing numbers, with job losses seen for the 22nd consecutive month.
"The current duration of falling employment is a joint record in 30 years of data collection."
Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith called the figures "damning". He
BY MAURICIO ALENCAR
added: "Labour's disastrous Employment Rights Act, coupled with the jobs tax and business rates hikes, have sent businesses to the wall. That we have the longest run of services sector job losses since
22 months of job losses, said Moore
the global financial crisis is a damning indictment of this government's economic failure."
Official data has shown that, since Labour was elected, the jobless rate has jumped from 4.4% to 4.9% meaning around 150,000 more people are out of work.
This does not include those who are inactive, such as people who have moved into education or retirement or who
are not seeking work.
In more comforting news for employees and job seekers, the latest month of job cuts was the softest rate recorded since October 2025.
Hundreds of firms responding to the monthly survey said the latest increase in input prices was far lower than peaks in April and came to a five-month low.
Economists have said the UK's performance largely depends on the outcome of the peace process in the Middle East.
NEXT HIKES TARGETS THANKS TO HEATWAVE
Shareholders in line for payday after Next revealed profits boost
NEXT has upgraded profit targets for the year after breezing past second-quarter expectations.
The retail giant hiked pre-tax profit expectations for 2026 to £1.24 billion - £25 million up on previous estimates.
If achieved, the figure would mark 7.3% growth in a year. The group's total sales target, including markdowns and
investments, was also upgraded to £7.5bn from £7.3bn.
UK sales were up 2.8% in the second quarter and international purchases soared by just shy of 37%.
That puts shareholders in line for a bumper payday as Next raised its target for returning cash to investors, with plans to buy back £52.4m worth of its own shares.
Storonsky eyes pay increase
Revolut chief could become Britain's richest man
THE founder of digital bank Revolut is in line to become Britain's richest man if he wins a £57bn pay award.
Nik Storonsky could see his wealth soar under a pay package that would land him a major stock windfall if the fintech reaches a £370bn valuation.
The bank, which is currently
undergoing a secondary share sale seeking to value the firm at £85bn, is in discussions to award Mr Storonsky a new incentive deal based around Revolut's target valuations.
Mr Storonsky, who was born in Russia but became a British citizen following a move to London, has a
financial package that awards gradual pay bumps as Revolut hits higher valuation milestones.
In December, the fintech chief said his current package puts him in line for a 40% holding of Revolut at a £148bn valuation. This would put him in line for a payout of around £57bn.

Rising global risk hits insurer profit
BEAZLEY said war and rising global risks are hitting the insurance market as it revealed profit more than halved in the first six months of 2026.
The insurer reported pre-tax profit of $237.7 million (£176.6m) + a 53% drop from last year's $502.5m.
Chief executive Adrian Cox said conditions in the specialty insurance market were suffering "rapidly" as the impact of Middle East conflict and growing cyber risks hiked payouts.
He added: "Our robust approach to disciplined underwriting sees us continue to focus on prudent risk selection and to de-risk in areas that have become unprofitable."
Bosses warned excess competition in the cyber market, especially in North America, was driving rates down to levels that no longer accurately reflect the escalating risks posed by AI and geopolitical volatility.

BIG STORAGE FOR
SMALLER GARDENS
Finding practical storage doesn't have to mean sacrificing valuable outdoor space. Designed with a compact 5x4ft footprint, this durable plastic shed offers generous storage while fitting neatly into smaller gardens, patios, or alongside fences and walls. It's the ideal solution for keeping tools, watering cans, garden accessories, and seasonal essentials organised without overwhelming your outdoor area.
DESIGNED TO MAKE SPACE WORK
HARDER
The clever pent roof allows the shed to sit neatly against walls or boundaries, making the most of every available corner. Despite
"Ideal storage solution. Stores my mower, spades, and plant pots easily."
★★★★ Rebecca
its compact footprint, the tall interior provides plenty of room for long-handled tools, garden equipment, and everyday outdoor essentials. The outward-opening door makes loading and unloading straightforward, while the lockable design (padlock not included) helps keep contents secure.
READY FOR EVERY SEASON

ITEM RE: D/FOR YORK
Juddmonte pair aim for Group One glory
By David Yates
KALPANA and Item are primed to continue Juddmonte's golden summer with Andrew Balding at York's Sky Bet Ebor Festival.
These Group One prizes have fallen to Kingscree runners carrying the famous Juddmonte livery this season, courtesy of wins for Blue Bolt in Newmarket's Falmouth Stakes and Prix Rothschild at Deauville either side of Kalpana's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes triumph at at Ascot last month.
And the owner-trainer pairing have designs on the first two Group One prizes of the glittering York fixture, starting with Item's challenge for the Juddmonte International on Wednesday week.
The Frankel colt, winner of the Group Two Dante Stakes over course and distance in May, lost his unbroken record when ninth on rain-softened ground in the Betfred Derby.
But Item was back to form with a victory in the Group Two by Berk Stakes 12
days ago – and is prepped for his clash with Ombudsman and Constitution River.
"We have to step back into the big league – you have two outstanding 10-furlong horses in Ombudsman and Constitution River – and we have to improve again," said Juddmonte racing manager Barry Mahon, below.
"But we are very lightly raced so it's quite plausible we will improve again – he's a big horse with a big frame, but you know the ability is there."
Last Sunday, Balding described the Legends Global-sponsored Yorkshire Oaks the following afternoon as "an option" for Kalpana.
And Mahon added: "She's come out of Ascot in great form – I know Andrew's very happy with how she's taken the race. She'll train towards the Yorkshire Oaks and, if he's happy with her that week, she will line up there."
TEMP-FTATION: Item 11 (1) is Ombudsman in the Commonwealth International.

Today's age and age is the length-lung, a real record to Kolkata. Japan is definitely on the cards, but he's tied a while a very first half of the year and we need to give him a little bit of a break now," reported Nemour Rooth, racing manager to the golden's
Caster-breeder, the Aga Khan Studs.
"It's not 100 per cent sure he would've got in the American States (at Accot on October 21) but it's not a surprise the best shot of going to Japan, he's having a bit of time out."

Andy calls for grit and determination in scrap to avoid wooden spoon
BY DAN TOMLINSON HULL FC could finish bottom of Super League for the first time this season and head coach Andy
Last says only hard work will stop that happening.
The Black and Whites are currently on a seven-game losing run and are just two points off bottom-placed Huddersfield Giants with six rounds of the season to go.
But Last, with just two wins from his 13-game spell in charge this year, remains upbeat ahead of tonight's trip to St Helens and he's still confident of getting a performance and, most importantly, a result.
"I'm not worried about the prospect of finishing bottom," said Last. "It's the reality of the situation that we're currently in, but there's only one way to fix it: hard work and better performances.
"The team has shown they're capable of getting some wins and Huddersfield is an example to us - a couple of wins and the table can look a lot different and it can lift the whole mood of the club.
"The players are aware of that and looking forward to (tonight's) game."
Challenging his side to make better choices, Last is well aware of where they need to improve.
He added: "Last week was the story of our season, really - some aspects of it were good
ST HELENS v HULL FC
By Robyn Sky Sports
and some were very, very poor. We didn't get the start right again, we conceded soft tries through the middle of the field, and our yardage defence wasn't good enough again.
"We're getting marched up the field far too easily and we're not nailing key moments.
"We just need to sustain and build pressure and not apply it to ourselves. We're allowing opponents, without working hard, to build positional pressure against us. So that's a big area that we need to improve.
"It's all on decision-making. We're putting ourselves in that cycle of pressure, which teams want to put you in, and we're not asking teams to build that.
"We're gifting them it through some cheap turnovers and some cheap penalties. It's a big area of focus for us, just to own our position a bit better and build more pressure."
Meanwhile, Last will also go head to head against two very familiar faces, as the interim boss praised the move of Harry Robertson into the halves.
"I know (Saints coaches) Eamon O'Carroll and Lee Briers very well," added Last. "Eamon spent a little bit of time here (at Hull).
"He's an exceptional coach and a great guy, and then Lee Briers, I worked with at England, so I know how smart he is from a technical point of view.
"They've got good staff there and they'll be setting up to perform at their absolute best.
"I also think the moving of Harry Robertson into the six spot has helped them. He was sensational last week against York. Every time he touched the ball, they couldn't deal with his running game."
Mr Cricket to get call
BY RORY DOLLARD
FORMER Australia star Mike Hussey could be part of England's new Test coaching set-up.
Australian broadcaster SEN has reported that Hussey, known as 'Mr Cricket' during his prolific playing career, has received an 'informal' approach from incoming coach Stephen Fleming.
The pair have a long
working
relationship
in the IPL,
originally
team-mates
at Chennai
Super Kings
before Hussey
(inset) joined Fleming's
backroom team as a
batting specialist.
Marcus Trescoltick
currently performs that role with England and will take charge of the forthcoming series against Pakistan on an interim basis ahead of Fleming's arrival.
Hussey previously
crossed the Ashes divide in 2022 as a consultant coach during England's successful T20 World Cup campaign.

Dublin debut next step to take the game global
BY JOHN MALLISTER
SUPER LEAGUE will break
new ground next season
when Warrington Wolves and
Wigan Warriors become the
first clubs to stage a league
fixture in Ireland.
The fierce rivals will meet at
the newly redeveloped Laya
Arena, home of Leinster
Rugby, on Saturday April 24,
2021.
Wigan and Warrington
became the first Super
League clubs to take part in the NRL's Las Vegas extravaganza in 2025, while the Warriors also faced Catsians Dragons in Paris earlier this year in a celebratory fixture marking anniversaries for both the competition and the French club.
Warrington chief executive officer Karl Fitzpatrick said: "This is another landmark moment for our club, for Super League and for the sport of rugby league. Following the success of the Las Vegas and
Paris projects, and the appetite shown for taking our game to new audiences, Dublin is the perfect next destination."
Warrington and Wigan previously met at Shelbourne Park in Dublin in 1934, while Wigan returned to the city in 1995 to face Leeds in a Charity Shield fixture.
Laya Arena, in the heart of Dublin, has undergone a £45m transformation and holds a capacity of 20,500.
Wigan CEO Kris Radlinski said:
"Dublin has an outstanding reputation for hosting major sporting events and provides the perfect stage for two proud clubs and two passionate sets of supporters to showcase everything that makes our game special.
"This is about creating an occasion that people want to be part of. Hopefully this will become another successful chapter in rugby league's growth story and show what can be achieved when we're prepared to think differently."

Draper doubts grow after new meltdown
BY ELEANOR CROOKS
JACK DRAPER is a huge doubt for the US Open after his latest comeback attempt saw him break down in tears mid-match.
The 24-year-old was playing his first match since June in Montreal having suffered a recurrence of the bone bruising that kept him out for almost seven months.
Draper played a fine second set against France's Terence Atmane to force a decider in the opening-round clash, but
TENNIS
looked in discomfort, with his serve badly affected.
After being broken to trail 4-1, Draper sat on his chair and sobbed, going on to lose 6-3 2-6 6-2.
The Londoner has been given a wild card for the Masters 1000 event in Cincinnati, beginning next week, while the
US Open - for which he would need a wild card - starts on August 30.
If Draper can't play in New York, it would be a fourth consecutive grand slam missed due to injury.
O'Neil: LIV rescue package is on way
BY SAM FROST
LIV GOLF chief Scott O'Neil has announced the breakaway league has agreed terms with an unnamed investor to rescue it from the brink.
The league needs to secure new investors by September 1 to avoid the risk of total collapse after the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrew its support.
Express Sport understands the $250 million deal is on track to be finalised
GOLF
around the September deadline. O'Neil made the announcement at Trump National Bedminster ahead of LIV Golf New York.
LIV said in a statement they expect the deal to be finalised in the coming weeks and added there is "strong interest" from "more than a dozen additional parties" to acquire a minority stake in the league, while players would become "majority equity holders".

BY LUCA HAMLEY
AMY HUNT has an insatiable appetite for medals and, after completing the full set of major championship podiums, she is coming for it all in Birmingham.
While the European Athletics Championships are Hunt's priority this summer, she also lined up in Glasgow at the Commonwealth Games, coming away with a silver medal over 100m.
She has now won medals at Olympic, world, Commonwealth and Euro-
pean level, with her Glasgow podium coming in torrential rain at Scotstoun.
While many of her teammates chose to skip the trip north of the border, Hunt had a different view, and it comes from that unsquenchable thirst for silverware.
She said: "I don't want to go on my Wikipedia page in 30 years' time and just see one or two medals. I want to see lots of medals. That's really important to me.
"We don't get much representation in terms of media. We're not NBA players who are on TV three times a week and everyone's seeing our faces."
Hunt is right that athletes do not get the
same opportunity to dominate the spotlight as basketball players in the States or Premier League footballers over here.
But for the course of the next week, she hopes to be as visible as Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham during the World Cup after planning a schedule which sees her compete over both 100m and 200m, as well as in two relays.
That makes for a packed stint at Alexander Stadium, but Hunt would not have it any other way.
She said: "One of the great things about being a versatile sprinter is that I can compete over both the 100m and 200m.
"The downside is there are lots of opportunities, so sometimes it's difficult to say no.
"Our No.1 priority is the European Championships. It's the first time they've been held in the UK, so we're aiming to compete in the full programme
there: the 100m, 200m, women's 4 x 100 m and
the new mixed 4x100m, because that would be really iconic.
"I'll be doing everything, so you'll probably be seeing a lot of me every day."
Hunt still holds the fastest 200m time ever run by an Under-18, and it was in the longer distance she claimed World Championship silver last year in Tokyo.
This season has seen her shine over the shorter distance as well, dipping under 11 seconds for the first time, before repeating the feat on multiple occasions since.
She added: "At Christmas, I wrote down my goals, and now I'm starting to think, 'Wow, maybe we can chase those'.
"I'm always a bit of a dark horse going into championships, so people should never write me off."

ALONSO: I NEED TO LEARN AND
ADAPT TO MY BLUES PLAYERS
FROM BOBBY VINCENT IN HONG KONG XABI ALONSO admitted he has had to learn quickly from his Real Madrid failure after taking on another of football's toughest jobs at Chelsea.
Alonso lasted less than eight months in charge at the Bernabeu— and is now just 18 days away from Chelsea's Premier League opener against Fulham where all eyes will be on the new head coach.
The Blues' latest summer spending spree of more than £200m has done little to temper expectations at Stamford Bridge, especially after the Span- iard was afforded more power over transfer busi- ness than his predecessors.
But even after a 1-0 defeat to Juventus in Hong Kong, Alonso (itset) is confident his side are already moving in the right direction, while he expects new signing Marco Palestra to be a big asset.
Asked if he is doing anything differently to his Real stint, the 44-year-old said: "Well, you need to learn quick. You need to adapt to the players that you have. You need to create something together with the club, with the players.
"We have been together for three
weeks, so it's early days to talk about everything. We are taking little steps forward and many more that we will take in the future, for sure."
More than 43,000 spectators were inside the impressive Kai Tak Stadium last night, where new sign- ings Palestra and Geovany Quenda offered plenty of threat down Chelsea's right flank.
Alonso was particularly enthused by former Atalanta star Palestra, 21, who he praised for already making a "great impact".
"You see his power," added Alonso. "He repeats up and down, big stamina, quality as well in the last third. So we are impressed with him.
"Happy that we have Marco in the squad and that he gives solution.
"He's a flexible player, so it's going to be very interesting to work with him."
Mykhailo Mudryk also returned for the first time in 20 months after being cleared to resume playing by the FA following his "adverse finding" for banned substance melatonium.
Alonso said: "I'm really pleased for him. It was emotional for everyone from the club to see him back. He was thrilled, for sure. It was a great feeling for him and for everyone."
MO LOOKS TRAB FAB
TAR PRINCE MO SALAH arrived to a hero's welcome as he touched down in Istanbul wearing a Trabzonspor shirt yesterday to finalise a move to the Turkish Super Lig side.
Hundreds of fans were on hand to greet the former Liverpool forward at Ataturk Airport after the club announced on Tuesday evening he would travel to Trabzon via Istanbul.
In a video posted on the club's social media accounts, Salah, 34, said: "Trabzon are you ready? I can hear you. See you very soon."
He is a free agent after leaving Liverpool this summer following nine years at the club, where he scored 237 times in 442 appearances and
won two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Salah has been linked with several clubs and had received an offer from Trabzonspor's Super Lig rivals Besiktas.
A deal for the former Premier League player of the season and Golden Foot winner would be a significant coup for Trabzonspor, who won the last of their seven Turkish league titles in 2025.
The other six came during a golden period between 1970 and 1984.
Trabzonspor finished third that season, eight points behind champions Galatasaray, and face a play-off to qualify for the league phase of the Europa League.

VETERAN Keeper Amos has been round the block
Amos aim to boost Burnley
BY ANDY DEAN
VETERAN goalkeeper Ben Amos aims to use his Football League experience to help Burnley's Championship promotion push.
The 36-year-old has signed a one-year deal with the Clarets after leaving Port Vale at the end of last season.
German Max Weiss was the only senior keeper left at Turf Moor after the departures of Martin Dubravka and Vaclav Hladky following relegation from the Premier League.
Amos has more than 300 EFL games under his belt and is boss Nicky Hayen's third summer signing after the arrivals of midfielder Ugo Raghouber from Lille and Espanyol winger Lius Castell.
And the former Manchester United player said: "I'm really pleased to get the move done and I'm very happy to be a part of this club.
"I think there's a good blend of younger and older players here and hopefully, I can bring something to the dressing room with my experience and be part of the senior group."
O'Neill in hospital
CELTIC have announced that Martin O'Neill is recovering after undergoing "a small procedure" in hospital.
The 74-year-old (below) signed a one-year deal in June to become permanent
Celtic boss after two interim spells last season ended with a league and cup double.
He was in the
dugout for the 1-0 win over Dundee on Monday night.
A statement on Celtic's official website read: "We would envisage Martin being released from hospital in the next day or two and on behalf of Martin, we would like to thank supporters for their kind wishes."
BY DARREN WELLS
ENZO MARESCA has urged his Manchester City players to trust he can deliver more glory after taking over the reins from Pep Guardiola.
City are out to take back the Premier League trophy from Arsenal when they kick off their new season in 17 days' time.
They face Bournemouth, the same side who ended the last title race with a 1-1 draw against Guardiola's men in May.
It has been a period of change for City with club stalwarts Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Nathan Ake all following Guardiola out of the Etihad.
And speculation over Rodri's future remains.
The club have backed Maresca by breaking their transfer record with an initial £116million deal to land Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. Along with Rodri, he is
among several stars still on a post-World Cup break.
That is far from ideal for Maresca as he bids to hit the ground running.
Speaking after a 3-1 friendly win over K-League All Stars yesterday, Maresca said: "The reason why [we are not at our best yet] is because around eight or nine players are still not here with us.
"But the important thing is when they are here, they make the effort to do the things we have been trying to do since day one.
"Also we need them to trust what we want, that is important and then when the rest of the players arrive, there is no doubt we will be even better."
City were comfortable winners despite
the uncomfortable conditions in a sweltering Seoul, as first-half goals from Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders and Divin Mubama closed out a 3-1 victory.
Maresca said: "The result is always important, even if it is a friendly game. But the most important thing is to see the effort of the players, especially in this weather. Also, compared to the last game [a 1-1 draw v
Inter Milan], in some aspects we did some things better.
"The good thing is the players tried to adapt [to the weather]. They made an effort for 95 minutes.
"Since day one, the players are putting in the effort and I can see that they trust the job we are doing and, for me, this is the main thing."
Maresca was also pleased to see Reijnders get on the
scoresheet amid transfer links with Nottingham Forest and Galatasaray, while Tottenham target Savinho played the second half.
"He [Reijnders] is a player that is here with us," the City boss said.
"The players that are with us, until the day that they aren't with us, it's my duty to do the best for them.
"I'm happy with his performance and he's working good since he came back from his holiday. At the moment I'm very happy with him."
He added: "While Savinho is here, we're going to try and do our best to help him how he can improve and then unfortunately, we said many times with the transfer window open, anything can happen. We need to be ready for that."

FLIPPIN' HECKE, ROBERTO!
Spurs boss De Zerbi's sweary text to land Brighton star
BY ALASDAIR GOLD
ROBERTO DE ZERBI sent a sweary text message to summer signing Jan Paul van Hecke telling him he had to sign for Tottenham after almost getting them relegated.
Spurs have spent £237 million in the transfer window so far and De Zerbi wants two or three more players to join in the weeks ahead.
At least two of those will be attackers and while some managers hate the transfer window, the Italian loves the thrill of the hunt, calling himself a "shark" when he wants a player.
"I don't know why I love it, maybe because when you take the decision, you take the responsibility. If the coach calls the player, you can build a special connection at the beginning with them," said the 47-year-old.
"The player knows you are the key for this transfer, and maybe this player feels they have to give you back something more than if, for example, (sporting director) Johan Lange calls the player."
He added: "With Mateus Fernandes, I spoke with his parents.
"With JP (Van Hecke), after the Everton game, I sent the message 'F***' off, you wanted to send down Tottenham for Brighton when you made the assist to Georginio Butter, now you have to come to me, yes or yes, you have no choice!"
"It was straight after the game, in my office in the Tottenham stadium, I sent a message to my daughter, and then JP."
Spurs feel like a different club this summer, with decisive moves being made, the positivity of De Zerbi and also the relief of escaping relegation on the final day of the season. The Italian opened up on a
"I like him as a player, I like him as a guy. There are not many strikers better than Dom Solanke in the Premier League"
moment after his first game in charge of the north London club that would later show him how far his players came during the early weeks of his tenure.
"I was proud and happy (to stay up), but I don't feel last season was my achievement — it was the players," he said.
"Because when I came, I saw the players after Sunderland in the dressing room.
"I didn't tell you in the press conference, but it was like this: all the people crying, lying down on the floor in the dressing room. I asked: 'Did we pass away?'"
"I tried to transfer positivity and observe the situation from
"Alcohol is a good medicine! If you enjoy normally and seriously, not as stupid people."
another perspective. I was honest, I always considered the Tottenham players as top players."
A key mood shifter came when De Zerbi treated the players to a slap-up meal in London and he admitted drinks were allowed to flow.
"One big dinner in Bacchanalia in Mayfair, with alcohol. Alcohol is a good medicine! If you enjoy normally and seriously, not as stupid people," he explained.
"I believe in staying together. Then, I transferred every day my opinion about them. They considered themselves in that moment worse than people thought, but there was the possibility to stay up and to win."
One player who had a difficult season with injuries was Dominic Solanke. De Zerbi has previously said the England international would be a key
man for him but the striker was unable to show it in a season hit by ankle and hamstring problems.
"I like him as a player, I like him as a guy. There are not many strikers better than Dom Solanke in the Premier League," the Spurs boss said.
"He changes the quality of performances depending on the confidence he feels. First of all, we have to finish the transfer market and then we speak better about Solanke.
"Anyway, I want to keep him, because I like him as a player, he's complete as a striker.
"He can attack the space, he can cover the ball, he's able with the ball to link, he's able to score 15-20 goals in the Premier League."
OUT THE DOOR Vitek has been sold to Boro for £14m
Keeper Vitek off to Boro
BY SIMON PEACH
MANCHESTER UNITED are selling Radek Vitek to Middlesbrough in a deal worth up to £14million as fellow keeper Altay Bayindir prepares to join Celta Vigo on loan.
Michael Carrick's No.1 Senne Lammens is joined by summer signing Karl Darlow in a new-look goalkeeping department.
The Wales international's arrival on a free transfer followed Andre Onana's return to Trabzonspor on loan.
Vitek is on the verge of joining defeated Championship play-off finalists Middlesbrough following an impressive season with Bristol City.
The 22-year-old Czech joined United from Sigma Olomouc in 2020 and had temporary spells with Accrington and Blau-Weiss Linz before flourishing at Ashton Gate.
It is understood United have a buy-back option with Boro that is worth up to £14m with bonuses, plus a 35 per cent sell-on clause.
Turkey international Bayindir is also on the move, with a loan switch to Celta Vigo close to completion.
Cairney's op blow
FULHAM captain Tom Cairney could be out until October after having knee surgery.
The 35-year-old midfielder had a minor procedure on his left knee yesterday. Cairney (below)
will begin a rehabilitation programme and is expected to return to training after the September international break.
"We wish Tom all the very best with his recovery and look forward to him being back on the pitch soon," the club said.
Fulham start the Premier League season at home to west London rivals Chelsea on Monday, August 24.

Bruno will bolster side but Vini would be Real statement
COMMENT
BY ANDY DUNN
BRUNO GUIMARAES is a solid, high-end signing for Arsenal but it is not a game-changing transfer.
At Newcastle, the Brazilian has proven himself to be an effective performer in the context of the Premier League's particular demands.
For a start, he covers a lot of ground. In a 4:3 win over Leeds in January, Guimaraes ran 13.24km.
Only two other players broke the 13km mark in a single Premier League game last season. Manchester City's Bernardo Silva did it against Nottingham Forest and Brighton's Pascal Gross did it twice, against City and Chelsea.
Guimaraes is a committed character, that is for sure. It is probably fair to say he was the heartbeat of the Eddie Howe team that ended Newcastle's long wait for a major trophy and qualified for two Champions League campaigns.
In those Champions League campaigns, Guimaraes featured in 13 matches, failed to score and produced only one assist.
His Premier League numbers are significantly better, scoring 30 times (two of which were penalties) for Newcastle and registering 26 assists.
More detailed statistics show Guimaraes has, across the last three seasons, won more duels (697) than any other Premier League player.
Mikel Arteta, in common with most Premier League managers, loves a player who can win a duel.
And judging by the prices in most top-level midfield transactions this summer, a fee in the region of £75million for the 28-year-old is a
relatively reasonable figure.
But he is not a game-changer. His countryman Vinicius Junior most certainly is.
The Real Madrid attacker (above) has a year left on his deal and wants a £10million-a-year increase to his current salary of £15million.
Real's offer stands at an annual £19million - still £6million shy.
Arsenal would have to shatter any sort of pay-scale they have but this would be a one-off move. This would be a statement signing of the highest order.
For all the Premier League's self-proclamation about being the best club competition in the world, it still struggles to attract the ultimate marquee players.
They normally go to Real Madrid, not leave Real Madrid.
Vinicius Junior has been a flagship player at the Bernabeu and, most significantly, a proven Champions League performer.
Arsenal and Arteta deserved great credit for going all the way to the final - and to a penalty shoot-out - last season but they lacked one extra, attacking dimension.
Vinicius Junior, who has 26 goals and 21 assists in his last 46 Champions League appearances, would provide that.
And while Arsenal fans will rightfully dismiss it as unimportant, Vinicius Junior will make them more watchable. He will make the Premier League more watchable.
Clearly, there is a lot of work to be done if Arsenal are to tempt Vinicius Junior to the Emirates.
But even you are not a Gunner, it is a move that the Premier League should be desperate for.

How this season's big summer transfer saga unfolded... and how Gunners finally got their man
DRAFT

BY LEE RYDER
NEWCASTLE wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth when it came to a decision on Bruno Guimaraes' future.
For six weeks, the Magpies had become frustrated by whispers and leaks on Arsenal's interest in their captain.
Newcastle were baffled that the term "advanced talks" kept being used as the deal didn't advance in June or July, and talk of Guimaraes not turning up to pre-season training or a medical being planned proved false.
The stance from United chiefs was simple: they didn't want to sell and were under no pressure to sell – despite UEFA's squad cost ratio restrictions – after the sales of Sandro Tonali (top) and Anthony Gordon.
So how did we get here?
The La Manga summit
On July 9, it was reported that Guimaraes had concerns over the Newcastle project following the departures of Gordon, to Barcelona, and Tonali to Spurs.
But Newcastle transfer chief Ross Wilson (above left) was keen to hear all of that from Guimaraes himself, and while the midfielder was always committed to returning to training in La Manga, the club asked him what his vote would be on stay or go.
Guimaraes opted to vote 'go', and the wheels were put in motion for a £75million sale. His reasons? The
opportunity, a better deal and to move to
London according to those close to United. It is expected that
it will be a flat fee,
flat fee, with 20
percent of any
profit from his
original fee
going to Lyon. However, there
are claims that the fee could rise further based on appearances,
titles and Champions League qualifications. So
The total could eventually be as high as £90m according to
sources close to the deal, but it depends on Guimaraes' success story with the Gunners.
Either way, the Toon midfielder is heading for North London and his check-out from the Grand Hyatt resort always seemed on the cards.
Why Newcastle agreed to the sale and why £75million?
Those close to Newcastle say that there was never a market for a £100m exit, or even a market for £80m or £90m in terms of a flat fee. The £75m tag was deemed a book price.
Guimaraes will turn 29 in November and the reality is his value will only go down moving ahead so this was essentially the last chance to cash in.
With Matthias Jaissle coming in, the Magpies have a policy of retaining players who are committed and the club captain had to be leading by example.
The moment it became clear to Jaissle and Wilson that Guimaraes wanted to leave, his Toon career was over.
What comes next?
Newcastle will give the Brazilian his say on the transfer of he wants to take it, just like the club did with Tonali, Gordon and Eddie Howe.
There is a feeling from the Guimaraes camp that the sporting project was not going in the right direction and the exits of top stars plus the head coach meant the club was sliding backwards slightly.
Newcastle insist that this is an 'exciting new era', with Jaissle expected to present a variation of Gegenpressing.
There is also an expectation that Guimaraes will not be replaced by a younger player and that a more experienced hand comes in to join the leadership.
Newcastle had looked at Angelo Stiller of Stuttgart earlier in the window and with a £31m release clause, it is a target that can't be dismissed.
Either way, there will be life after Guimaraes, and sources at the club's La Manga training camp insist that team spirit is already high as they prepare to host Liverpool in their Premier League opener on August 23.
Jaissle: It's an exciting Tyne to be at this club
LEE RYDER
MATTHIAS JAISSLE says joining Newcastle is an "incredibly honour" after officially taking charge at St James' Park.
After a summer drought of good news for Toon fans, Jaissle's Swindlers enthusiasm might have come just in time.
The departures of Anthony Gordon and Sandra Tonali - not to mention the imminent prospect of losing Bruno Guimaraes' story have filled the coffers and they lowered the joy factor on Tyneside.
Now, with their Premier League opener just 17 days away, Jaissle has replaced Eddie Howe - and the Gunners' ready to put Newcastle's uncertain summer behind him.
Jaissle took a list: "It is an incredible honour to become host coach of Newcastle United.
"This is one of the biggest clubs in European football, with a unique history, identity and supporter base, and I am excited to experience that passion and promotion first-hand. When Newcastle United comes
your way, you take notice. The ambition of the club, the vision for the future and the opportunity ahead made this an incredibly compelling place to be.
"I have followed the club's journey closely in recent years and the progress that has been made is clear for everyone to go."
Speaking about the project, after Newcastle signed young players such as Ewen Jacoam, Aladj
Jambie, Bishmanasa
Toure, Lukas (Norwalk left) and Sean Shear, Jaissle said: "I am incredibly
excited about the future. I fully and unequivocally believe in this project, the ambition and the direction the club is taking.
"There is a clear vision, strong leadership and an exceptional platform to build up."
"My teams are built on togetherness, hard work, intensity and a passion to improve every single day.
"I will bring this commitment, all energy and a determination to give everything I have to help this club achieve its ambitions."
NEW BOSS WILL BRING 'ENERGY'
FROM BACK PAGE
and a determination to give everything I have to help this club achieve its ambitions."
Geordie fans watched in dismay in the close season as Anthony Gordon (below) and Sandro Tonali were sold - with Guimaraes about to join them out the exit door - and manager Eddie Howe left.
But 38-year-old Jaissle has vowed to adhere to Newcastle's
preferred style of entertaining and attacking football.
And Toon sporting director, Ross Wilson, has told supporters that they are going to love the new man once they see his plans for the team.
Wilson said: "Matthias' leadership style and
football philosophy are strongly aligned with our sporting vision.
"His teams play high-energy football, and we could feel his passion during all of our discussions throughout the recruitment process.
"He has consistently demonstrated an ability to improve players, build
cohesive teams and
create elite performance environments in his coaching career.
"His successes at Salzburg and
Al-Ahli underline his ability to deliver results while developing a clear football identity.
"We believe he is uniquely positioned to build on the strong foundations already in place and help take Newcastle United forward."

Model QA
这是一份针对该 PDF 翻译的 QA 审计报告。
⚠️ 严重缺陷 (Blocking Issues)
1. 严重幻觉/内容篡改 (Hallucinations & Content Fabrication) * 天气预报部分： 译文在“天气预报”标题下凭空捏造了大量关于“天气服务专线”、“实时交流”、“每日支付备用金”以及具体电话号码（0 2327 0 212, 0222 332 2200）的内容。原文中完全不存在这些文本，属于严重的幻觉。 * 广告/推广部分： 译文中出现了大量关于“阅读我们的高级新闻报道”、“在应用商店下载 App”等推广语。原文预览中并无此类段落，属于凭空添加。 * 政治新闻部分： 译文中出现了关于“克里斯·帕克姆 (Chris Packham)”、“绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基 (Zack Polanski)”以及“北海石油钻探”的大段报道。原文预览中完全没有这些内容，译文直接跳过了原文的天气预报详情和数据表，替换成了无关的政治新闻。
2. 大规模内容遗漏 (Massive Omissions) * 天气详情遗漏： 原文中详细的各地区天气预报（North West, Northern Ireland, Wales 等）以及关键的 “六日温度预报表” (SIX-DAY FORECAST) 被完全删除。 * 数据表遗漏： 原文中关于 Aberdeen, Belfast 等地的气象/统计数据表被完全删除。 * 电视节目单遗漏： 原文中 BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1 等详细的节目时间表在译文中被大幅度简化或部分篡改。
3. 翻译错误与不忠实 (Faithfulness Issues) * 关键术语错误： 原文 "Homes Under the Hammer"（知名房产节目）被译为“锤下房产”，缺乏习惯性译名。 * 逻辑混乱： 在电视节目单部分，译文出现了“今日之前”、“前页”、“年龄”等毫无意义的词组（对应原文的 "TODAY'S PREVIOUS", "AGE ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE"），显然是机器翻译在处理页眉/页脚碎片时的失败。
4. 格式与残留问题 (Residuals & Formatting)
* 残留英文： 电视节目单中大量节目名称（如 Richard Osman's House of Games, The Hairy Bikers' Bakeation）直接保留英文，未进行翻译。
* 标签缺陷： 译文开头出现了 # Daily Express - 06.08.2026.pdf 这种内部文件名标签，属于交付缺陷。

不通过 (FAILED)。 该译文不仅存在严重的翻译质量问题，更出现了极其严重的内容篡改和幻觉（用无关的新闻替换了原文的天气预报）。译文完全不可用，必须重新翻译。
