首相表示将保持中立，为我们的“还我最后权利”运动带来助力

伯纳姆将不参与辅助死亡投票

作者：汉娜·盖斯勒 和 亚伦·纽伯里 安迪·伯纳姆已承诺不干预国会议员关于辅助死亡合法化的投票，这为活动人士带来了重大助力。首相表示，当《末期患病成年人（生命终结）法案》回到英国下议院进行自由投票时，他将保持中立——这是《每日快报》“还我最后权利”运动的一次胜利。 宽慰 伯纳姆先生（左）昨日确认，他将在该法案的二读中弃权，因为他不想“作为首相过度影响辩论”。他的这一承诺将给活动人士带来宽慰。此前，这位首相曾暗示，在辅助死亡合法化之前，国家陷入困境的姑息治疗和社会护理系统应当得到修复，这引发了人们的担忧。 请参阅第 4 页

天生摇滚

克鲁兹·贝克汉姆、摩西·马丁、基因·加拉格尔和薇奥莱特·格罗尔希望在本周末参加雷丁与利兹音乐节后，能凭借自身实力获得星光。

周末音乐节 “资源咖”盛宴

作者：弗朗西丝·米勒

雷丁与利兹音乐节正迎来“资源咖”（nepo baby）的接管，一些音乐界顶尖名人的后代准备证明，他们不仅仅拥有一个著名的姓氏。

克鲁兹·贝克汉姆、基因·加拉格尔、摩西·马丁和薇奥莱特·格罗尔都将在本周末登台，追随他们超级巨星父母的脚步——尽管在演艺事业的阶梯上得到了助力。

21, 岁的克鲁兹是辣妹组合成员维多利亚·贝克汉姆夫人和前英格兰队长大卫·贝克汉姆爵士之子，他今天将与他的乐队 The Breakers 在雷丁演出，明天在利兹演出。

他们本月发行的包含六首曲目的 EP《Wear & Tear》被认为与 20 世纪 90 年代以吉他为主导的英伦摇滚（包括绿洲乐队）有相似之处，并获得了好评。

其中甚至有一首名为《Wannabe》的曲目，俏皮地与他母亲 1996 年辣妹组合的畅销单曲同名。在面对利用父母名气开启音乐生涯的指责时，克鲁兹俏皮地反击道：“耶稣也是个‘资源咖’。”

狂欢者

绿洲乐队（Oasis）主唱利亚姆·加拉格尔（Liam Gallagher）25岁的儿子基因（Gene）领衔的Villanelle乐队昨日在雷丁演出，今日将在利兹演出。这位歌手兼吉他手自2024年起便在乐队中表演，其首支单曲《Hinge》于去年发行。

他的父亲所在的乐队曾在2000年担任这两场双 festivals 的领衔演出嘉宾。

与此同时，酷玩乐队（Coldplay）主唱克里斯·马丁（Chris Martin）与格温妮丝·帕特洛（Gwyneth Paltrow）20岁的儿子摩西（Moses）将与他的乐队People I've Met在两场音乐节上共同演出——这距离酷玩乐队在此演出的时间已过去27年。

完成这组“摇滚皇室”阵容的是戴夫·格罗尔（Dave Grohl）20岁的女儿薇奥莱特（Violet），她追随其父亲（Foo Fighters主唱）的脚步进入音乐领域，并于5月发行了首张专辑《Be Sweet To Me》。

她本周末也将分别在雷丁和利兹演出。预计将有约200,000名狂欢者参加这两场音乐节。

Foo Fighters乐队于1995年在雷丁音乐节进行了他们在英国的首次演出及音乐节首秀。

“我们欢迎对中立立场的承诺” 活动人士就首相立场发表看法

续前页（第一页）

关于死亡的考量。在首相采取这一立场的前几天，患有绝症的父亲菲尔·纽伯里（Phil Newby）曾敦促首相与他见面，亲耳倾听为什么法律必须做出改变。

议员们将在两周后对该法案进行辩论和投票。

“尊严死亡”（Dignity in Dying）运动的一位发言人表示：“我们欢迎首相重申政府的中立立场，以及他承诺不对此次辩论施加不当影响。议员们应当有机会根据自己的判断进行投票，就像之前下议院在少数几位非选举产生的贵族议员将其拦截之前，曾以多数票通过该法案时那样。”

“大多数英国人希望法律能够改变。临终者在违背意愿的情况下承受痛苦，要么采取极端手段自行解决，要么在生命的最后几个月里，为一项下议院已经支持的法律而奋斗。”

“在 9 月 11, 议员们有机会完成他们已经开始的工作。”

如果议员们第二次支持该法案，上议院将无法再次将其拦截。

个人立场

伯纳姆先生告诉议会劳工党（Parliamentary Labour Party），议员们必须能够得出自己的结论。

他写道：“这是一个极其重要且具有个人色彩的辩论。没有唯一的正确立场，我对各方的议员都深表尊重。我们都有不同的生活经历，这些经历将影响我们看待这个问题的方式，每个人都必须获得空间来做出自己的决定。”

该法案将允许英格兰和

威尔士境内预期寿命不足六个月的成年人在两名医生和一个专家小组的批准下，申请辅助死亡。伯纳姆先生表示，他希望“每一种观点”都能得到尊重，并补充道：“我已决定，在二读阶段我不参与投票是最合适的。”劳工党议员

菲尔·纽伯里患有 MND（运动神经元病）

劳伦·爱德华兹（Lauren Edwards）在今年早些时候该法案因时间到期而失效后接手了此项工作；该法案最初由她的同事金·利德比特（Kim Leadbeater）于 2024 年底提出。

由于贵族议员提出了数百项修正案，并被指责实际上是通过冗长辩论使其失效，该法案在上议院被否决。

劳工党领导人伯纳姆先生当时还不是议员，因此在那次投票中无法参与。12 年前被诊断出患有运动神经元病的纽伯里先生敦促首相在法案之外采取进一步行动，在辅助死亡合法化的同时，制定一项改善姑息治疗的计划。

他说：“没有人会期望首相影响这次辩论。这对议员来说是一个良心问题。”

纽伯里先生继续说道：“我要求他做的是将承诺付诸行动，通过做出承诺并制定一个具体的计划，在未来五年内修复姑息治疗系统。”

原则

“这将使议员们更有信心支持辅助死亡。这对每个人来说也将是一个双赢局面。”

伯纳姆先生多年来已表示其观点发生了变化，转而支持辅助死亡的原则。他在 7 月曾表示，在护理供应存在缺口的情况下进行此类辩论“非常有挑战性”。

爱德华兹女士对他确认政府将保持中立、议员可以根据良心而非党派路线投票表示赞赏。她说：“我欢迎他认为每个人的观点都应被尊严地对待并受到尊重的观点。”

独居者面临议会税账单上涨威胁

劳工党将拟议的征税描述为“豪宅税”，但批评者警告称，这可能会对南部地区的房主以及房产价值上涨的养老金领取者产生不成比例的影响。

希利先生补充道：“对我而言，首要任务——我想说任何财政大臣的首要职责——就是财政纪律。这意味着什么？它是经济稳定的基石。安迪·伯纳姆和我步调一致地表示，我们将控制政府支出，达成财政规则，这将是我在两个月后提交的预算案的基石。”

他继续说道：“我们正在演进议会税，我们将为那些拥有极高价值房产的人引入最高税级。”

在进一步的评论中，他表示：“有些人称之为豪宅税，但这是一种目前尚不存在的最高税率，它将有助于使系统变得稍微公平一些，因为目前在国家不同地区，有些人为价值截然不同的房产支付相同的议会税。”

对计划中的预算削减的担忧

政府可能会取消单身人士折扣

但影子住房大臣詹姆斯·克莱弗利警告称，“数百万人依赖于单身人士议会税折扣”，并预测该折扣“可能面临严重威胁”。

他补充道：“劳工党在寻找提高你们税收的新方法方面永不疲倦。他们已经取消了针对其新议会税附加费的折扣，现在单身年轻专业人士、寡妇及其他人群在面对其主要议会税账单时，也可能成为攻击目标。”

“与此同时，在劳工党的监管下，议会税全面飙升，到2030-31年，居住在D级房产中的平均家庭将累计多支付 2,306 英镑。”

“劳工党正将议会税变成一种粗糙的财富税，抛弃了长期以来将其作为支付当地服务费用的原则。”

对于平均住房而言，单身人士折扣每年价值 £598。

英格兰约有 860 万 户家庭获得该折扣，其中 89% 居住在A级至D级的房屋中。

住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳在 2024 年被问及该政策时，拒绝排除取消该折扣的可能性。

随后，她因税务问题引发争议而从基尔·斯塔默政府中辞职，但此后又回到了原职。她正与希利先生合作，而希利先生此前曾支持过会影响议会税折扣的提案。

撤回立场

2012, 年在担任反对党成员期间，希利先生曾提交一项修正案，寻求结束自动议会税减免，这一变更将包括单身人士折扣。

政府拒绝置评，但据了解，目前没有取消该折扣的计划。然而，威斯敏斯特内部人士表示，虽然“目前”没有计划，但人们担心这可能会在秋季预算案中被引入。希利先生将于10月 28, 日提交他的首份预算案，届时他将阐明下一年的税收和支出计划。

预计他将无法筹集到资金，以满足他此前要求英国将GDP的 3% 用于国防的诉求。

该部长此前曾因这一问题从斯塔默政府辞职，坚称这将使英国变得不那么安全。

但本周的报道表明，他本人并不准备履行这一承诺。

影子国防大臣詹姆斯·卡特里奇表示，“他竟然在撤回那个决定了前任首相命运的承诺，这简直不可思议”。

他补充道：“俄罗斯不会按照财政部的时间表行动，我们不能为了保证英国安全而等待支出审查。”

评论 安迪·普雷斯顿（ANDY PRESTON） 前米德尔斯堡民选市长

更多的逮捕。更多的死亡。目前还没有人知道米德尔斯堡近期发生的所有事件是如何关联起来的。但体面的工人阶级知道谁在为此付出代价：正是他们自己。

我曾担任米德尔斯堡民选市长四年，并在该市最贫困地区与慈善机构合作了更长时间。我了解这些社区。我亲眼目睹了体面的公民必须忍受什么。

我们市政住宅区的大多数人都工作勤奋。尽管这些地区被懒政地贴上“贫困”的标签，但许多房屋非常漂亮，花园被悉心打理，充满了自豪感。但在这些人之中，有一群坚守完全不同规则的顽固分子。

毒贩、窃贼和惯犯让人们的生活变成了地狱。我见过一些家庭因为太害怕而不敢向警方举报……有些人甚至不敢匿名拨打犯罪举报热线（Crimestoppers）。

担任市长期间，我大规模扩建了闭路电视（CCTV）系统，因为我们需要证据来抓捕罪犯——而那些底层社会的人使用工业研磨机砍倒监控杆。当更坚固的替代品安装上去后，他们又使用车辆冲撞并将其推倒。

再开一家青年俱乐部并不是答案。增加警察数量、加快法院处理速度以及监禁才是答案。

当罪犯认为被抓的可能性很小时，其他一切讨论都成了空谈。

增加逮捕人数——并且要更快。

但如果不堪重负的刑事司法系统需要数年时间才能将某人送上法庭，那么逮捕人们也收效甚微。至于让他们提前出狱，这种疯狂之处显而易见。

我们需要立即增加监狱空间。中国会直接建造监狱。为什么我们不能？对于那些反对监禁的人：有时监狱之所以有效，原因很简单——罪犯不在街上。

一个被关在监狱里的暴力暴徒不会恐吓隔壁的家庭。一个在服刑的毒贩不会在住宅区招募孩子。我们花了太长时间从罪犯的角度来看待犯罪——讨论贫困、成瘾和心理健康。

所有这些都可能重要。但我们必须抛弃同情心，开始照顾那些遵守规则的邻居。

遭受底层社会之苦的并不是富人或政治家。富人可以搬到更安全的地区：工人阶级家庭往往没有这个选择。最容易接触到犯罪的人，往往是最无法逃离犯罪的人。

这就是为什么我们对犯罪的容忍，成为了现代英国最大的阶级不公正之一。

体面的人起床工作，缴纳税款，遵守法律。

然后他们不得不坐视他人贩毒、恐吓并制造混乱。更糟糕的是，一些恐吓社区的人竟然由住在他们身边的纳税人提供住房和支持。当然，我们应该尝试让罪犯重新融入社会。

我们必须解决成瘾问题并帮助人们就业。人是可以改变的——但这绝不意味着体面的家庭应该承受痛苦。

首先，我们要保护公众。让更多警察上街，逮捕那些让生活变成地狱的人，建造足够的监狱牢房，并将危险且惯犯的罪犯与体面的人隔离开更长时间。

英国的工人阶级对不可忍受之事的容忍已经足够久了。体面的人不是问题所在。不要再要求他们忍耐了。

“这里完全无法无天……警察之前不管，现在他们想”

在敌对犯罪分子之间发生的一系列显然是报复性的袭击中，被升级的帮派战争所困的家庭担心，派遣警力增援以恢复秩序反而可能引发新的混乱。

来自英格兰北部的武装警员被包含在被派遣至米德尔斯堡（Middlesbrough）的数百名额外警力之中。

此前该地区发生了一系列事件，包括一次与警车的正面碰撞事故，导致警员马修·布莱兹（Matthew Blades，37岁）和汤姆·克劳（Tom Clough，38岁）死亡，以及另一辆车上的五名年轻人全部死亡，据称该车在A66公路的错误车道上行驶。

无法触碰

据报道，米德尔斯堡的房产在报复性袭击中被撞击；周三，在附近的格兰格顿（Grangetown），一场房屋火灾夺走了两条生命，不过警方表示这与A66公路的悲剧无关。

然而，一些居民担心，警员的涌入可能会引发与戴着巴拉克拉法帽（面罩）的暴徒、窃贼和毒贩之间的冲突。

市议会负责人承认他们可能需要更多帮助——因为许多人担心，居住在住宅区内的帮派被视为“无法触碰”的存在。

米德尔斯堡的居民表示，他们已经“厌倦了犯罪以及这些孩子无法无天的行径”，摩托车经常被看到“载着戴面罩的孩子四处飞驰”。一位居民说：“这里完全无法无天。警察多年来一直忽视该地区的问题，现在他们想采取强硬手段进来。这不会受欢迎的。”

另一位当地人说：“这是帮派战争。这种情况已经持续多年，现在升级了。”

周四晚上，一群人纵火焚烧了数辆汽车，以此向在A66车祸中丧生的年轻人之一表达悼念。警方表示，认为让周四事件中被纵火的车辆烧尽是最安全的做法，同时谴责这一行为“完全不可接受”。

警员布莱兹（左）和警员克劳（右）在A66公路的正面碰撞事故中丧生

发生在哈斯韦尔（Haswell，距离车祸现场以北约20英里）的事件据信是在为纪念迈克尔·卡希尔（Michael Cahill，23岁）举行的守夜活动期间发生的。卡希尔当时乘坐大众帕萨特（VW Passat），同车人员还包括科尔·沃西（Cole Worthy，17岁）、西奥·雷（Theo Rae，17岁）、马凯·萨丁顿（Makai Saddington，18岁）以及23岁的雅库布·马图夏克（Jakub Matusiak）。

昨天，侦查员确认，周三在附近的格兰格顿发生的一场导致七岁瓦伦蒂娜·福斯特（Valentina Foster）及其姨妈娜塔莉·麦克唐纳（Natalie McDonald，34岁）死亡并导致另外四人受伤的房屋火灾，与A66车祸没有关联。

助理警务处长戴夫·萨瑟兰（Dave Sutherland）表示：“在同一周内，我们还在周三看到了一场悲剧性的房屋火灾，导致两人丧生，这显然也影响到了警队和我们的当地社区。”

“目前，我们将此事件与A66公路的致命碰撞事故区分开来。”

“自从这两起恐怖事件发生以来，克利夫兰（Cleveland）的警务现状以及我们社区所遭受的暴力程度已引起了全国范围的关注。”

“勇敢的警员们日复一日地面对着巨大的挑战，但我希望向公众保证，我们将坚定不移地努力打击犯罪分子并保护我们的社区。”

内政部大臣安娜·特利（Anna Turley，同时也是附近雷德卡（Redcar）的国会议员）表示：“我们从全国各地调集了超过200名额外警员。有大量的资源正在投入。”

“他们正在尽一切努力确保我们的安全，并且他们了解这些事件。”

“在所有这些调查背后，有海量的情报和数据——”

据报道，在 A66 事故现场附近，一堵花园围墙被汽车撞毁，该事故造成七人死亡。

调查和行动。他们在公共秩序方面准备得非常充分，因此我相信他们能够掌控我们在未来几天和几周内可能面临的任何突发事件。”

该部长表示，她已致信雷德卡与克利夫兰自治市议会以及警察与犯罪专员，要求对危险和反社会行为采取零容忍态度，并要求“利用所有可用的适当权力来保护我们的社区”。

不可接受

达勒姆警方助理首席警司乔恩·麦克亚当（Jon McAdam）昨天表示：“我们强烈谴责任何将 [A66 事故] 悲剧作为骚乱借口的人，并期待绝大多数公众能与我们一起谴责这种行为。

“我们在昨晚集会中看到的行为是完全不可接受的。”

增派的警力来自包括国家犯罪调查局（National Crime Agency）在内的多个部门，目前正协助警方继续调查格兰格顿（Grangetown）的火灾。

米德尔斯堡和索纳比东区议员安迪·麦克唐纳（Andy McDonald）昨天告诉时代广播电台（Times Radio）：“这是恐怖主义，我们必须采取适当的应对措施，处理那些在我们的社区制造如此混乱的人，让人们能够过上平静的生活。”

前米德尔斯堡市长安迪·普雷斯顿（Andy Preston）表示：“我认为我们现在看到的是多年来采取软弱态度的产物。

“人们感觉到犯罪分子控制了一些街道。

“人们感觉到犯罪分子是不可触碰的，而且感觉到体制——无论是警察、议会还是法院系统——根本不在乎。”

克利夫兰警方表示，其调查中被逮捕的人数已增加至 24 人，其中数人被指控犯有严重罪行，部分罪犯被重新召回监狱。最新的逮捕对象包括四名男子——年龄分别为 35、25、40、21 岁——他们因涉嫌蓄意危害生命的刑事损坏、纵火以及持有意图供应 A 类毒品而接受审讯。

米德尔斯堡足球俱乐部要求球迷在今天球队对阵西布罗姆维奇阿尔比恩的比赛前，向 A66 事故中的遇难警员表达哀悼。

据报道，国王已致信布莱兹警员（PC Blades）和克劳警员（PC Clough）的家属表示慰问。

一名王室消息人士表示：“陛下对这起毁灭性的事件感到震惊，并亲自给涉事警员的家属写信，对他们的损失表达最深切的同情。”

全国最糟糕的犯罪率

克利夫兰警方管辖区域（包括米德尔斯堡）的犯罪率在英格兰和威尔士最高。

在上述两个国家中，该地区的谋杀、性犯罪和持刀犯罪率均排名第一。

根据内政部最新公布的数据，在截至 2026 年 3 月的一年里，每 1,000 人记录的犯罪件数为 123.4 件。

这一数字远高于犯罪率次高的西约克郡警方（107.9），以及规模最大的警力部门——大曼彻斯特警方（103.7）和伦敦警察厅（101）。

截至 3 月的一年里，整个英格兰和威尔士的犯罪率为每 1,000 人 84.7 件。

在截至 3 月的一年里，克利夫兰警方的谋杀率为每百万人 21.7 起，高于任何其他警力部门。

整个英格兰和威尔士的谋杀率为每百万人 8.1 起。克利夫兰还拥有

在商店盗窃、刑事损坏与纵火、造成伤害的暴力行为、入室盗窃以及性犯罪方面，其发生率最高。

在所有涉及针对个人的暴力犯罪以及所有盗窃犯罪中，其发生率位居第二。

克利夫兰每 1,000 人发生 123.4 起犯罪。在英格兰和威尔士最高。

在截至 3 月的一年里，克利夫兰警方记录的每 100,000 人中发生 157.2 起持刀犯罪——这同样是所有警队中最高的比率。

这一数字高于前 12 个月的 151.8 起。

克利夫兰警方管辖四个地方当局区域——哈特尔普尔、米德尔斯堡、雷德卡与克利夫兰以及斯托克顿-昂-蒂斯。

截至 2026 年 3 月 31 日，该警队拥有 1,503 名全职等效警员，按规模计算，在英格兰和威尔士的 43 个领土警队中排名第 31 位。

冰川崩塌威力堪比地震

分析 纳达·法尔胡德（NADA FARHOUD） 环境记者

几个世纪以来，冰川一直附着在喜马拉雅山的陡峭山坡上，帮助塑造了地球上最高的高山。

该地区拥有的淡水冰量超过北极和南极以外的任何地方，因此被誉为“第三极”。但随着地球升温，这个被 10 亿人依赖作为水源的冰川景观正在迅速变化。

冰川在萎缩，积雪在融化，而多年冻土——这种可以像胶水一样起作用的永久冻结地面——也开始融化。

这场席卷尼泊尔和西藏社区的毁灭性山洪引发了人们对气候危机另一项后果的担忧：全球变暖可能会使世界上的各大山脉变得日益不稳定。

卫星图像显示，喜马拉雅山高处的一次巨大冰川崩塌引发了周三沿博特科希河奔涌的致命泥石、水流、岩石和冰块洪流。最初人们将此次崩塌归咎于一次 4.4 级地震。

消融

但科学家现在认为情况恰恰相反，地震波是由一座巨大的冰岩墙从海拔 7,000 米的朗唐里隆峰（Langtang Lirung）北坡崩塌而引起的。究竟是什么触发了这次崩塌目前仍在调查中。但英国南极调查局（British Antarctic Survey）的哈米什·普里查德（Hamish Pritchard）博士表示，两天前，附近地面的温度达到了两年来最高值。

“这些高温会削弱积雪层，使冰裂缝充满水，并融化固定这些冰川的纽带，”他说道。

无论全球变暖是否是直接诱因，喜马拉雅山脉更广泛的转变是不容忽视的。冰川灾害专家西蒙·库克（Simon Cook）博士表示：“将一些山坡固定在一起的多年冻土正在变暖并消融。因此，你将会看到更多的山体滑坡、碎屑流、冰川融水、冰湖溃决以及冰川崩塌。”

随着气温攀升，生活在世界最高山脉之下的数百万人的风险正在增加。但后果不会止于此。“第三极”发生的变化将对喜马拉雅山脉以外的遥远地区产生影响。

改革英国党失去领先优势，在关注选举并面对强劲复苏的对手时，正寻求在党代会上重启

手里拿着一杯烈性金汤力，奈杰·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）向后靠在椅子上，鼓起腮帮子，发出沙哑的笑声。

“这样就行了，”他说道，沉浸在被数千名崇拜的支持者像对待摇滚明星一样对待后的余韵中。

在改革英国党（Reform UK）领导人去年党代会发表重要演讲后，我们立即来到了后台，这位过去十年左右英国最具影响力的政治家看起来对自己很满意。

他拉开一个服装袋，告诉我他原计划在这次盛大场合穿一套亮眼的蓝绿色新西装，但决定把它留给当天晚些时候的另一场活动。

随后，他接听了一名记者的电话，对方计划报道一篇关于他的令人不安的故事，他挂断电话后爆出了一句足以让水手都感到脸红的粗口。又喝了一口金汤力，笑容再次回到了脸上。

难怪法拉奇先生信心十足。他的政党在民调中处于高位

“光环似乎正在消褪。有些人甚至说，整个架构都快散架了”

- 在某些地区达到 $34 峰值——当基尔·斯塔默及其内阁陷入免费礼品丑闻时，没有人真正关注他的右翼对手凯米·巴德诺克。

改革英国党（Reform UK）当时显得不可阻挡。他们从民粹主义的新秀迅速攀升至英国政治之巅，其势头令人震惊。

那是 12 个月前的事了。

近 365 天后，光环似乎正在消褪。有些人甚至说，整个架构都快散架了。

改革英国党还没有彻底完蛋，远非如此。

该党在 5 月的地方选举、威尔士选举和苏格兰选举中的惊人表现，再次证明了他们在碎片化的政治格局中是一股主要力量。

但他们的民调已跌至 24% 左右，巴德诺克夫人现在被誉为该国最受欢迎的政治领袖，而陷入捐款丑闻的则是法拉奇先生。

这导致他在 7 月辞去国会议员职务，从而在克拉克顿引发了一场补选，他在其中击败了包括比法斯伯爵（Count Biface）在内的对手，重新赢回了该席位。如果议会监管机构发现他未能正确申报来自亿万富翁支持者克里斯托弗·哈博恩（Christopher Harborne）的 £500 万 礼金，从而违反了议员行为准则，他可能在秋季不得不再次经历这一切。

除克拉克顿外，改革英国党在今年另外两场原本志在必得的补选中均告失败——戈顿和登顿（由绿党获胜）以及梅克菲尔德（安迪·伯纳姆获胜）。

今年夏天，内部内战酝酿的传闻也随之爆发，齐亚·尤苏夫（Zia Yusuf）与支持改革英国党的政治评论员蒂姆·蒙特格莫里（Tim Montgomerie）之间爆发了公开争吵，后者是一名脱离保守党的成员，目前已被该党停职。

政治格局也发生了剧烈变化。斯塔默——他那沉闷、

迟缓的风格曾使他成为改革英国党的容易攻击的目标——他不再是首相，已被更擅长公关的伯纳姆所取代。而罗伯特·詹里克在 1 月戏剧性地脱党后，也不再是一名保守党人——他现在担任改革英国党中第二重要的职务，即“影子财政大臣”。

在短时间内发生了如此之多的变化。

那么，这个还不得不应对改革英国党发言人安·威德科姆（Ann Widde-combe）被惨遭杀害这一悲剧且极其恐怖事件的政党，究竟出了什么问题？它还能找回自己的状态吗？

今年的党代会虽然并非决定生死之战，但对改革英国党来说是一个重要时刻，是一个在经历了波折起伏的 2026 年后重新回到正轨的机会。

一名党内关键人物表示：“就像所有优秀的冠军一样，你必须能够承受打击，在打击中调整并反击。这是一个实现这一目标、重新占据主动权的机会。”

除了近期的动荡，改革英国党在过去几周里一直在发布严肃的政策公告。

其中包含旨在大幅削减福利预算、优先为英国工人提供社会住房、增加学徒机会以及帮助小企业的强力措施。

法拉奇身着青色西装出席 2025 年会议。

随着改革英国党的盛会下周在伯明翰国家展览中心（NEC）举行，预计将有超过 12,000 人参加，届时预计将公布一些“重大”政策。

一名了解此次活动的改革英国党（Reform UK）内部人士补充道：“这些公告表明我们是一个拥有严肃政策的严肃政党。这就是此次大会的核心所在。这将成为该党的一个重大时刻。”

所有这些举措旨在传递一个信号，即改革英国党的人是勤奋工作的英国人，

而非不工作的移民。该党似乎还在微调

其主张。 其最初的大会口号——“是时候改革了”（It’s Time For Reform）——显然已被弃用。

相反，该党将重点关注尼格尔·法拉奇政府执政的前100天。这包括宣布更多影子内阁职位——

政治格局在12个月内发生了剧烈变化，尼格尔·法拉奇面临的主要变化是安迪·伯纳姆入主唐宁街10号，以及凯米·巴德诺克扭转了保守党的局面

其中包括现任国会议员以及其他来自政治圈之外的“高知名度、广为人知”的人物。改革英国党正为一场其认为最早可能在明年到来的大选做艰苦准备。

一名消息人士表示：“尼格尔一直相信会提前举行大选，因此一直将大量精力集中在让政党为那一时刻的到来做好准备上。”

这包括在Facebook上发起大规模攻势以争取选民。“这在克拉克顿起作用了，对于

改革党将在下届大选中瞄准375个议席，其中125个为“绝对底线”席位

改革党的支持率受益于其（以及法拉奇）在社交媒体上的巨大影响力。

法拉奇在Facebook、Instagram、X、TikTok和YouTube上的粉丝总数约760万，远超英国所有政党领导人。

该党高层对选举前景仍保持乐观态度。

尽管英国政坛四分五裂，他们仍将在下届大选中瞄准375个议席，其中125个为“绝对底线”席位。首批极具胜算的选区候选人将很快完成遴选并公布。但仍有争议认为，右翼阵营应团结起来击败工党。

上周末，巴登诺女士重燃蓝色导火索，排除了与改革党达成“弊大于利”协议的可能性——即使在悬浮议会的情况下。

周一则有报道称，意大利总理乔治亚·梅洛尼曾劝其勿与法拉奇合作。

据称，梅洛尼敦促巴登诺“成为自己的主人，坚守立场”对抗改革党。

然而，次日便传出意大利方面否认总理上述言论。一名党内官员坚称梅洛尼对法拉奇或改革党并无敌意，但无意介入英国国内政治动态或英政党间关系。

巴登诺的头号政敌詹里克在罗马与梅洛尼共饮咖啡后批评其“活在幻想世界”，并称改革党对与“破产保守党”结盟毫无兴趣。

这为英国三方混战的局面奠定了精彩基调。

改革党希望其党代会能避免丑闻，并为秋季及之后的更大成功奠定跳板。

他们需要做到这一点，因为他们不仅要面对一位光彩夺目的新工党领袖，还要应对日益强势的巴登诺女士。

系好安全带！这将是一段有趣的旅程。

挪威哀悼国王，查尔斯发表悼词

记者 贾斯敏·凯里（Jasmine Carey）发自奥斯陆

昨日，大批民众聚集在奥斯陆王宫，哀悼哈拉尔五世国王的逝世。

这位已故君主在长期患病后于医院去世，享年 89 岁。其子哈康八世国王继位。

查尔斯国王在信中表达了对“我亲爱的表亲”逝世的“深切悲痛”。

他补充道：“哈拉尔国王以坚定不移的奉献精神服务于他的人民，以温暖和谦逊引导挪威度过了巨大的变革时期。”

“当挪威哀悼这样一位伟人的离世时，我的整个家庭共同缅怀一位深受爱戴的亲属和朋友，他的善良、慈悲和深厚的责任感跨越海洋，回响在数十年的时光中。”

在挪威各地，人们为哈拉尔的离世表达了强烈的悲痛——他在位 35 年。在奥斯陆，数千人流泪并在王宫外留下了一片花海。哈拉尔国王是查尔斯国王的表亲。一名女性表示：“在某种程度上，感觉就像失去了一位祖父。考虑到今天如此艰难，看到这么多人聚集在这里是非常特别的。我们通常不会这样聚集在一起。感觉非常特别，也非常悲伤。”

王宫的窗户被披上了黑色布料。

人群中的一名男子说：“他当国王的时间和我活着的时间一样长。但来到这里，我也对挪威感到充满希望。看到各年龄段的人聚集在王室周围，这很有力量。”

“这提醒了我们，为什么那些能够团结我们而非分裂我们的象征如此重要。”

53 岁的哈康国王在昨日早晨父亲去世仅几小时后，就在王宫举行了首次内阁会议，宣布其继位。

他的女儿，即新的继承人也出席了会议。22 岁的英格丽德·亚历山德拉王储终有一天将成为挪威 600 多年来首位在位女王。

辅助死亡投票再次交由议员决定

首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）传达的信息很明确：议员们可以自由决定是否推进此前已通过一次的辅助死亡立法。

此前曾有猜测认为，伯纳姆先生将寻求阻止这项赋予末期患病者在自选时间结束生命权利的法律。

但首相反而表示，他将不参与此次辩论，以便能进行一次真正自由的投票。

这是正确的做法，现在议员们必须做出选择。

《Express》通过我们的“还我最后权利”（Give Us Our Last Rights）运动支持法律的变更。我们认为，如果这是当事人的意愿，面对生命终结的人应当被允许获得尊严且无痛的死亡。

反对辅助死亡的论点是由那些认为此举将导致情况恶化的人出于善意提出的，他们完全有权发表意见。

然而，事实是下议院此前已经支持过一次《末期患病成年人（生命终结）法案》，但该法案被非选举产生的上议院反对者拦截。

这一次，上议院不太可能能够阻止该立法。

我们希望议员们能再次得出结论：对于那些渴望辅助死亡的人来说，允许这样做才是充满同情心的选择。

独居生活的负担

英国数百万民众仍处于生活成本危机之中。能源账单、交通成本和结账价格的上涨速度快于收入，让我们许多人感到比以前穷得多。

其中一项主要负担是市政税（council tax）。地方当局收取的费用年复一年地高于通货膨胀率，占据了我们收入中越来越高的比例。

这意味着取消单身人士折扣将是一个沉重的打击，将额外的成本转嫁给那些可能无法负担的人。

受影响的人中许多将是老年人，因为寡妇和鳏夫将是那些被告知需要支付更多费用的人群之一。

他们包括我们社会中最脆弱的一些群体。

毫无疑问，首相安迪·伯纳姆有一长串想要实现的计划，其中许多将涉及支出纳税人的钱。

但首相和财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）绝不能期望由那些独居的人来承担这一负担。

他们往往是最无力承担的人。

20英里时速限速区是为了道路安全，还是仅仅为了反汽车？

伦敦成为全球行驶速度最慢的首都，交通流量如蜗牛般缓慢

情感勒索正成为一种被用来压制反对20英里时速（20mph）限速区声音的阴险策略。这种令人厌恶的限速措施正以道路安全的幌子在全国范围内蔓延。而实际上，它在为国家筹集数百万英镑资金的同时，允许所谓的进步主义者强推其反汽车议程。

伯明翰的地方领导人是最新加入这一（很快将变得极其缓慢的）潮流的人，他们正将这座城市变成一个巨大的20英里时速限速区。所有当地道路都将适用这一新限速，市议会实际上承认其策略就是让驾驶变得如此痛苦，以至于人们不再愿意开车。

该计划自豪地宣称：“主动出行——步行和骑行——将成为大多数人在大多数时间里在当地活动的主要方式。汽车将不再主导住宅和学校周边的街道生活。所有当地道路将统一实行20英里时速的限速。”

在畅通的道路上以20英里时速驾驶，在现代汽车中感觉很不自然，且不利于商业发展，公众也压倒性地反对这一做法。但伯明翰由自由民主党、绿党和独立人士组成的杂牌联盟并不在意这些琐事。

在工党萨迪克·汗（Sadiq Khan）的治理下，伦敦已经被毁，现在超过一半的道路行驶速度如蜗牛般缓慢。根据地图技术公司TomTom的数据，限速被认为是导致该市在世界最慢首都名单中名列前茅的原因。

对警方数据的分析发现，在短短两年内，20英里时速限速区的超速违章数量惊人地增长了236%。根据马歇尔汽车集团（Marshall Motor Group）的数据，这一数字从2023年的37,219起跃升至2025, 的125,133起。

现在的“公路抢劫”不再是由戴面具、持枪的歹徒实施，而是由一个带有特定议程的进步主义政治家实施。

在威尔士，对默认20英里时速限速的抵制如此激烈，以至于议会不得不对其进行削弱。一项反对该举措的请愿书获得了50万人的签名，约10,000人写信给市议会，要求他们更改当地道路的限速。

当地企业报告配送时间大幅增加，而护理人员的通勤时间也延长，增加了雇主的成本。

在政策实施一年后，YouGov的民意调查发现，72%的威尔士成年人仍然反对该政策。

支持者坚称限速对道路安全有显著影响。伦敦交通局（TfL）分析了伦敦100条道路在限速变更前后三年内的事故情况。结果发现，碰撞和受伤人数减少了约三分之一，儿童死亡人数从总计4人

到一名。但在此期间还实施了其他道路安全措施，这意味着无法确定限速就是原因。

与此同时，贝尔法斯特女王大学一项针对 76 条街道的研究得出结论，将限速限制在 20 英里 / 小时“似乎并没有减少道路交通碰撞、伤亡或驾驶员车速”。

虽然无需多言，但为了避免疑义，每一次道路死亡都是一场悲剧，而失去孩子更是令人无法想象的痛苦。在学校周围或特别繁忙的行人区域降低限速是明智的，大多数理性的人都会支持此类措施。但驾驶员们正被利用愧疚感，被迫接受大多数人并不想要的东西。

这种策略在伯明翰道路安全专员马特·麦克唐纳（Mat MacDonald）提出的挑战中得到了完美的总结。他说：“任何反对这些措施的人，必须提出一套能够掩盖通过此举所挽救的人类生命价值的理由、优势和益处。”

现实情况是，生活中很多事情都有可能导致悲剧，但缓解措施应当被综合看待。如果按照“挽救生命”这一论点推导至逻辑终点，那么我们应该完全放弃汽车，因为完全不开车比以 20 英里 / 小时的速度开车更安全。

如果道路安全真的是目标，那么限速应该仅在白天时段适用，而不是在周围空无一人的深夜，也不是在行人稀少的区域。

但正如保守党所言，这些限制是为了“向驾驶员开战”。该党已承诺结束全面限速，在合理区域恢复 30 英里 / 小时的限速。

影子交通大臣理查德·霍尔登（Richard Holden）表示，广泛使用 20 英里 / 小时限速“使整个城镇慢得像蜗牛爬，而对实际安全几乎没有帮助”。

如果进步主义者想要坚持强加这一限速，他们至少应该对自己的动机诚实，停止躲在人类悲剧之后。

养尊处优的生活将长期存在

图片：VALERIE MACON / 本周的“金句”来自改革英国党（Reform UK）的李·安德森。当被问及他做过最“觉醒”的事情是什么时，他回答道：“我曾经有过——一次！——吃素的想法！”

叫我保守也罢，但安迪·伯纳姆本周穿着一件 T 恤抵达基辅，这简直是粗鲁且不尊重人的表现。每一个前来迎接他的显贵都穿着西装（其中一人甚至穿着礼服），所以伯纳姆起码应该脱掉他那套“我只是个劳动阶级”的行头，穿得像他应当承担的首相那样。

泽连斯基完全有权穿着作战服会见世界领导人，因为这传递了一个信号：当我们所有人都在旁观时，他的国民正在实实在在地战斗并牺牲。

而伯纳姆看起来局促不安，完全不知所措，他试图——但失败了——让自己看起来很酷。坦白说，他让我们感到尴尬。

如果我们必须接回萨塞克斯夫妇，难道我们不能做一次所谓的文化交流——把贝克汉姆夫妇送到美国去吗？这不过是用一对自我中心、痴迷名气的夫妇替换另一对而已。

安迪·伯纳姆知道英国有 £3trillion 债务吗？我之所以这么问，是因为他在处理完公交票价和无家可归问题后，最新的“十字军东征”是让那些投机取巧的建筑商破产。是的，这是一个好主意，但这家伙需要意识到他是在治理一个国家，而不是在管理一个地方议会。

我还没听他谈过计划如何削减 £3tn 债务，如何应对非法移民、4000亿英镑 福利预算，以及普京对英国发动“报复性”袭击的威胁。我担心这是因为他根本毫无头绪。

我们的国民医疗服务体系（NHS）被告知是令世界羡慕的，但现在它却在巴恩斯塔普教女性如何在汽车后座分娩，因为其产科部门的“人员配备水平不安全”。

我不管产科主管认为他们的部门有多不安全，但这绝对没有独自在汽车后座分娩那么不安全。

我们的 NHS 每年获得 2500亿英镑 资金，为什么它的运作情况比大多数第三世界的医疗服务还要糟糕？在“破碎的英国”，在医院走廊接受治疗和在车里生孩子，什么时候变成了所谓的医疗保健？

名人每天都在离世，但多莉·帕顿的去世在某种程度上比其他人更重要，因为我们觉得失去了世界上真正善良的灵魂之一。是的，她才华横溢，是世界上最伟大的词曲作者之一。她的慈善事业帮助了数百万成年人，尤其是儿童，并为数万人创造了就业机会。

但她最大的资产是她纯粹的善良和幽默。她让我们所有人都觉得与她有某种联系。我只希望她能多活两三年，因为她在这几年里所能成就的，比我们其余的人在五十年里能做到的还要多！

研究表明，带状疱疹疫苗可以降低 60 岁以上人群患心脏病和中风的风险。那么为什么 NHS 仅向年满 65 岁以及 70-79 岁的人群提供？65 岁以下和 80 岁以上的人必须私人支付 £500，有多少退休金领取者能负担得起？

听听这个——人权主管们认为英国对移民不够慷慨。他们说我们应该给他们更多福利，事实上是方方面面都要给更多。而就在本周，我们听说前皇家空军基地的移民们过着养尊处优的生活，那里有设备齐全的健身房、健身室、足球场、电视室和台球桌等。

但没有，平等与人权委员会表示，尽管有四星级酒店、福利、免费医疗和零花钱，我们仍然远远不够慷慨。

这些人得有多蠢？恰恰是因为我们太该死的慷慨，才导致成千上万的移民不断涌入。

情况变得更糟了。本周我们听说，每分钟就有一名移民被授予留英权利。在截至今年6月的一年里，有 245,520 人成为了英国公民，另有 199,628 人被授予永久居留权（ILR，为 16 年来最高），这意味着不久之后，他们也将有资格成为英国公民。

但获得永久居留权意味着无需匆忙，因为这些移民已经抢占了英国“福利快车”的席位，因为这允许他们领取福利并申请社会住房，与另外 1.3m 领取 60亿英镑 通用信贷（Universal Credit）的人一样。

再加上目前有 21,294 名外国罪犯在我们的街道上游荡，英国在外观和感觉上已经不再像英国了。

这种疯狂的行为还要持续多久？我们简直是在被入侵。我们的文化正在被吞噬，我们的经济在照顾非法入境者的压力下不堪重负，然而这届政府仍然在哀鸣，称由于那些被大多数其他欧洲国家所忽视的过时欧洲法律，导致他们无法将这些人驱逐出境。现在的底线是，那些靠我们的“边境巡逻出租车服务”来到这里的人将长期留下来，因为自 2018 年以来被驱逐的人数不足 10,000 人。

但回到那些从异域文化涌入这里的外国罪犯身上。每天我们都会听到一起新的强奸案、一起新的暴力袭击案，然而自由派左翼的懦夫们却为其辩解，称这是因为他们过着悲惨的生活。没错！他们说的是

所以，正如我们大多数人预料的那样，这件事发生了——本周我们在一场暴雨中醒来，在单夜降雨量相当于一个月的情况下，出现了 42 次洪水预警。

因此，目前那些气候末日论者不得不闭嘴，媒体则在思考如果没有“末日将至”的天气恐吓故事，该如何运作。

好消息是，我的草坪一夜之间又变绿了。坏消息是我不得不把套衫拿出来了。所发生的一切不过是在一个灿烂炎热的夏天之后，秋天即将到来。

那个用瓶子捅了一名女性 30 次的苏丹男人，那个强奸了一名老人的厄立特里亚怪物，以及所有其他强奸或袭击妇女和女孩的人。

因此，政府现在发布数据，声称在一年内将住在酒店的移民人数减半并以此邀功，简直是一个恶劣的笑话。因为他们全部还在这里，而我们仍在为他们买单。他们现在只是住在房子、公寓和军队基地里，而不是酒店。

至于他们声称削减了寻求庇护的积压案件——是的，当你把永久居留权分发给任何请求的人时，自然会这样。

事实是，我们都能看到街道上发生的事情。我们看到在移民手中，性犯罪和暴力犯罪在激增。我们看到在某些社区，妇女和女孩害怕出门。我们看到我们的生活方式在眼前消亡，而我们的首相却没有胆量去阻止这一切。

这届政府比起它期望为其买单的英国人民，更关心那些为这个国家毫无贡献的非法移民的权利和福利。

即便在现在，我们仍不清楚小船移民所犯罪行的真实规模，因为政府已经采取法律行动将其掩盖。

为了这届政府——而且别忘了还有左翼司法机构——不愿清除非法移民和罪犯的决心，英国人民付出了惨痛的代价。感觉他们不仅在共谋摧毁英国，还在摧毁我们的生活方式。只要工党在执政，我们就没法做任何事情来阻止它。

召唤勇气，让哈利·波特的新作取得魔幻般的成功

那个 24 克金的懦夫尼古拉斯·霍尔特，在遭到粉丝和跨性别活动人士的强烈抵制后，辞去了在新的《哈利·波特》电视剧中的角色。

这位《皮囊》演员声称其突然离职是因为“档期冲突”，但甚至连他自己的粉丝都不买账，称这个借口很蹩脚，而且仅仅是接演这个角色就已经是对跨性别群体的背叛。

他们还表示，他辞职这一事实改变不了任何事情，因为仅仅是接受这个角色就表明他并不支持那些憎恨 J.K. 罗琳的跨性别者。

现在，吉德罗·洛哈特的角色由“欣喜若狂”的《权力的游戏》明星基特·哈灵顿接手，而他并不在乎跨性别暴徒怎么想。

但一些支持跨性别的人确实是白痴——不仅是因为他们相信长着阴茎的人可以是女性。这些狂热分子宣扬宽容和尊重，但其中一些人却是地球上最激进、最不宽容、最不尊重他人的人，他们会摧毁那些与他们观点不同的人的生活和事业。

我真心希望，尽管他们竭尽全力地抹黑这部剧，但它能取得巨大的成功，而参与其中的人们能变得更富有，名声更响。

在 70,000 名移民冲击北非西班牙沿海前哨数周后，塞乌塔（Ceuta）局势升级，人们看到防暴警察出现在火堆和帐篷营地附近。

人群涌入大海以抵达这个被摩洛哥包围的自治市，这引发了当地居民的恐惧，以及欧盟国家对申根区开放边界政策的担忧。

大多数人返回了摩洛哥，但多达 10,000 人留了下来，其中许多人住在海滩营地——这激怒了依赖旅游业生存的当地人。

在数十名移民于凌晨向一辆载有 4 名士兵的军车投掷石块后，警方逮捕了 12 名摩洛哥人。

挥舞西班牙国旗的示威者高喊“他们应该离开”和“红十字会滚出去”。

随后，在抗议者进入移民睡眠区域并焚烧财物后，警方在海滩上对他们发起了冲锋。

周三深夜，警员曾发射催泪瓦斯以阻止抗议者与移民之间的冲突。

塞乌塔财务委员会成员 Kissy Chandiramani 表示：“紧张局势……非常高……我们感到被抛弃了。” ● 周四，约 494 名移民乘坐 7 艘充气艇抵达英国——这是 10 天以来首次成功穿越英吉利海峡。

囚犯在服刑至六分之一后可能获释

据报道，为了解决监狱过度拥挤问题，相关计划正在考虑让囚犯在仅服刑六分之一后即可获释，并在家中服完剩余刑期。

司法部正在考虑重启居家拘禁宵禁制度，即允许囚犯提前出狱，但必须佩戴电子脚镣。

目前，囚犯在刑期过半时才有资格参加该计划，但根据将于 10 月生效的变更，这一比例可能会降低至六分之一。

强烈抵制

面对公众对劳工党提前释放计划的强烈抵制，以及两名杀害警察安德鲁·哈珀（Andrew Harper）的凶手可能获释的前景，司法大臣亚历克斯·诺里斯（Alex Norris）正竭力腾出监狱空间。

影子司法大臣尼克·蒂莫西（Nick Timothy）告诉《电讯报》：“大多数罪犯在仅服刑三分之一的刑期后现在就能出狱，而如果让他们在仅服刑六分之一后就回家，那将是一场暴行。劳工党应该专注于利用现有空间、扩大容量并建设更多监狱，而不是匆忙推出更多半成品计划。”

“在我们等待细节的同时，很难不将其视为劳工党在意识形态上反对监狱的又一证据。”

插图中的诺里斯先生预计将于下周公布他对释放计划的审查结果。安迪·伯纳姆已将强奸犯和儿童性侵者排除在这一举措之外，且他正面临阻止哈珀警官凶手获释的压力。

司法部（MoJ）表示：“我们正在快速推进一项计划，以确保更多最严重的罪犯留在狱中。”

“在接手了一个处于崩溃边缘的监狱系统之后，我们与公众一样，对这些方案竟然被考虑而感到愤怒。”

格拉迪斯·奈特 2023 年照片

格拉迪斯：82 岁之年，我将减少演出场次

作者：肖恩·奥格雷迪（SEAN O'GRADY）

格拉迪斯·奈特（GLADYS Knight）表示，随着她进入职业生涯和生活的“下一个阶段”，她将减少演出。

这位演唱过《佐治亚之夜》（Midnight Train To Georgia）的歌手，82, 在经历了七十年的职业生涯后，虽然今年进行了巡演，但现在计划减少演出场次。

她表示：“在经过深刻的反思后，我决定将逐渐减少演出，同时专注于向下一个阶段过渡。”

“我将花更多时间与丈夫一起开展项目，并陪伴我的孙辈们。”

健康

这位巨星感谢了“我的粉丝们……让一个小女孩的梦想成真，并在每一步都支持她”。她补充道：“愿上帝保佑你们所有人，希望很快能见到你们。”

她的儿子尚加（Shanga）去年表示，巡演对母亲的健康“有害”，且大部分巡演是在其丈夫威廉·麦克道尔（William McDowell）的要求下进行的，但她否认了这些说法。

来自亚特兰大的奈特在 1960 年与她的家庭乐队 The Pips 共同发行了首张专辑，并在 20 世纪 70 年代后期开始独立发展。

我们由衷地热爱多莉

当你听到关于多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）那个难以言表的悲痛消息时，你在哪里？当时我正在看新闻。直到我的眼中充满泪水，有一段时间我什么也看不见。

“悲痛之情溢于言表”这个词被过度使用了，但这次并非如此。随着消息传开，一种明显的丧失感在世界各地荡漾。在美国，一项总统令要求将国旗降至半旗。这种情况自1965年温斯顿·丘吉尔去世以来就再未发生过，但这看起来一点也不像反应过度，不是吗？

对于多莉，人们的感情没有分歧，过去如此，现在亦然。每个人都爱她。就这么简单。每个人都在哀悼她。当然，国旗应该降半旗。

理查德和我足够幸运，曾与她本人见过一次面。那是回溯到20世纪90年代，她当时正在英国巡演。她飞抵利物浦，在当时位于该市壮丽的阿尔伯特码头（Albert Dock）的《今晨》（This Morning）节目中接受现场采访。

当她抵达时，清晨的阳光照在码头深红色的柱廊上。那景象看起来像一幅卡纳莱托的油画。“我的天呐，这里太美了，”当我们趁采访区域的短暂广告休息时间加入她时，多莉低声说道，“能在这里工作，你们太幸运了！”

在那次采访的记忆中，有几件事令我印象深刻。第一件，很平实，就是多莉的香水多么好闻。她的气息绝对迷人。我从未忘记过。

第二件是她竟然如此漂亮。当然，我们预料到了这一点。但有时，一个名声在外的美女在现实生活中会超出预期。多莉拥有最可爱的面庞。

第三件是她多么幽默。她以简洁的俏皮话著称（“为了让自己看起来这么‘廉价’，得花很多钱……人们问我做头发要花多久。我不知道。我从来不在场……我不介意被叫作傻金发。我知道我不傻。我也知道我其实不是金发，”）很快人们就发现，多莉是真正且自然地机智。

在某个时刻，理查德瞥了一眼她穿着精美鞋子的双脚，说道：“哇。你的脚真小，不是吗？”她没有犹豫，轻巧地托起她丰满的低胸领口，打趣道：“哎，亲爱的，在阴影下没什么能长得大的。”

安息吧，多莉。 你在最纯粹的爱之潮中 离开了我们。

周三的《英国早安》（Good Morning Britain）大部分时间都献给了多莉。但我们还留出了空间报道另一个故事，我绝对确定她会非常赞同。这个故事充满了“多莉式的积极”。凯瑟琳·琼斯（Katherine Jones）距离她在托斯卡纳起伏丘陵中的梦幻意大利婚礼仅剩一周时间。然后，她的未婚夫将现实的地毯从她脚下抽走，宣布他最终不想娶她了。

于是陷入绝望？痛苦？取消婚礼？

忘掉这些吧。在被抛弃后的第二天早晨，凯瑟琳带着坚定的决心醒来。婚礼照常进行。反正谁需要新郎？继续狂欢！

“每个人都订好了机票和酒店，而且我们已经支付了餐饮费用，”她笑着说，“我只是在想，‘管它呢？反正就这么办吧！’”

于是她这么做了。现场有演讲、祝酒，以及直到黎明前的舞蹈。“我们度过了一段美好的时光，”她自豪地说。

真是个姑娘。而那个让她从指缝中溜走的男人真是个傻瓜。

理查德与朱迪

英国最受喜爱的夫妻档每周六在您的《每日快报》中回顾本周事件

读到报道称谢丽尔·科尔（Cheryl Cole）准备在《英国之声》（The Voice UK）担任教练并重返电视荧幕，真是件好事。谢丽尔一直以来都是《X Factor》中较为深思熟虑的成员之一，这对我来说并不意外——当我在 Channel 4 的《理查德与朱迪》节目片场见到她时（那是她在 Girls Aloud 组合时期的日子），在我看来，她在这一群讨人喜欢的成员中是最聪明且口才最好的。能看到她回归真的太好了。

此时此刻正是时候

物理学家吉姆·阿尔-哈利利（Jim Al-Khalili）深入探讨局势的严峻性

除非先进物理学是你的兴趣所在（我打赌不是），否则我大概可以说，你认为自己关于时间所知道的一切都是错的。直到现在，我也是如此！

但本周出版的一本书——物理学家吉姆·阿尔-哈利利的《论时间》（On Time）——将让你的大脑转得比一只主发条失灵且过度运转的手表指针还要快。

事实证明，时间运行的快慢取决于你所处的位置。因为时间并非某种抽象概念。它像河流或海洋一样真实。它不仅仅是一个想法，而是一个实体。一个真实的实体，是可以被挤压、拉伸或扭曲的东西。

我指的不是阿尔-哈利利所说的“心理时间”。你知道的，就是阴郁地坐在牙医候诊室里的半小时，与在光鲜亮丽的派对上的30分钟之间的区别。前者像灰色淤泥一样缓慢，后者则像奔腾的激流。

不，我指的是真实的时间。事实证明，重力是决定时间流逝快慢的关键。强重力 = 时间变慢。弱重力 = 时间变快。

在地球上，我们的原子钟告诉我们，每分钟恰好有60秒。但在我们头顶几英里外的地球轨道上，卫星感受到的重力略小。因此，它们车载时钟的运行速度比这里快。这是可以测量的，这是一个事实。

回到20-世纪70年代，月球微弱的重力意味着阿波罗登月者的电脑手表比休斯顿任务控制中心的手表走得快。因此，当宇航员返回家园时，他们的衰老程度比这里的每个人都稍微多一点。

很迷人，不是吗？但《论时间》将探讨得更深。因为一旦我们接受重力越强时间越慢，各种幻想之作就变得可能。

一名在超高密度黑洞（已知宇宙中最沉重的物体）轨道上运行的太空人，与家乡的朋友和家人相比，几乎不会

所以，马可夫妇（the Markles）已经落地。哈里和梅根回到了英国土地；具体来说，似乎是科茨沃尔德（Cotswold）的石灰岩地带，这里已迅速成为英国最令人向往的时尚乡村邮编区。现在他们回来了，看看他们如何玩这场公关游戏将会很有趣。

衰老。当他返回时，他的亲友们要么已经年老，要么早已去世——而他仍有半辈子的人生可以享受。这确实会发生。

但在这一话题上，必须由我们的老朋友、已故的斯蒂芬·霍金教授来做最终定论。

霍金认为不可能存在创造者。为什么？因为在导致宇宙爆炸而生的“大爆炸”之前，根本没有时间。

至少他们不是从最低点开始的——梅根勉强避免成为最不受欢迎的王室成员，因为前安德鲁王子更被人们由衷地厌恶。

但这与她与哈里结婚的那些美好时光相去甚远。我当时在美洲半夜起床看电视直播婚礼。那是我再也找不回来的一个夜晚的睡眠。

那个将成为宇宙的无限小且致密的物质点如此沉重，以至于时间根本无法存在。因此，霍金认为，在大爆炸之前没有时间让上帝来创造宇宙。它

自行出现了。（这听起来是不可能的，但对于那些理解量子物理定律的人来说并非如此。顺便说一句，我不理解）。

全市统一20英里限速将成为伯明翰长期受苦司机的噩梦

司机们被搞得心烦意乱

伯明翰很快会出现大量被禁驾的司机。当拟议中的全市20mph限速措施实施时，请做好迎接大批禁驾处罚的准备。相信我，那些一生从未因超速被处罚过的司机，将会发现自己被罚款和禁驾的速度比你喊出“闪光灯！”还要快。

因为在所有实施近乎全面20mph限速区的其他地方，情况均是如此。超速三四英里是非常容易的事，而且如果你在测速摄像头或警察检查站视线范围内这样做，将自动被扣3分。一旦扣满12分（有些司机在一天之内就无意中达到了这个分数），你将被禁驾，通常期限在六个月到一年之间。

伯明翰市议会对全市20mph限速的承诺是基于一个不可否认的事实：道路上的死亡和受伤人数将会下降。那么，为什么不把限速定在10mph？或者5mph？

目前尚不清楚这座英国第二大城市的善良民众是否会像威尔士人那样，在他们的领导人尝试此举时挺身而出并推翻这一想法。如果不会，那就投资自行车行业吧。自行车的股票将会大涨。

前工党部长称《动荡法案》在帮助 IRA

作者：JONATHAN WALKER

前工党国防部长阿尔·卡恩斯（Al Carns）警告称，新的北爱尔兰立法将给 IRA（爱尔兰共和军）提供“他们想要的东西”。

这位前皇家海军陆战队成员表示，计划中的《北爱尔兰动荡法案》（Northern Ireland Troubles Bill）将导致“一系列耗资数亿英镑公共资金的死因研讯，且可能没有任何起诉”。

部长们表示，该法案对于确保揭露 1966 年至 1998 年间近 3,500 人死亡的真相至关重要。但卡恩斯先生在《旁观者》（The Spectator）杂志上写道：“大多数 IRA 的家属并不想要结案，他们想要的是筹码。”

“他们希望英国政府坐在被告席上，由那些炸毁酒吧、在家人面前枪杀警察的人制定的条款来对其进行审判。该法案将他们想要的东西交到了他们手中：一个仅在单一方向运行的法律框架。”

“普京不希望与北约军队发生直接冲突”

西方官员认为，尽管叫嚣声增加，但弗拉基米尔·普京希望避免与北约军队发生直接对抗。

消息人士认为，克里姆林宫的宣传活动旨在让国内盟友满意，掩盖在与乌克兰战争中遭受的毁灭性损失，并削弱对基辅的支持。

由于弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基的部队通过对俄罗斯炼油厂的远程导弹袭击制造了燃料危机，普京的将领们急于向莫斯科报告胜利，这导致他们增加了对乌克兰平民目标的无人机袭击。

一名消息人士表示：“这种措辞并没有什么特别新鲜的地方。”

保持警惕

“俄罗斯并不寻求与北约直接对抗。但我们确实需要保持警惕。这种言论的升级与其学说一致，且与他们一段时间以来一直表达的观点一致。”

另一位西方官员补充道：“普京因为俄罗斯军队未能实现他今年年初设定的目标——夺取顿巴斯其余地区——而感到沮丧。”

据乌克兰国家紧急服务局称，其中一次袭击造成乌克兰东南部扎波罗热市一家购物中心至少四人受伤。

但西方官员表示，乌克兰及其盟友看到“俄罗斯在战争中的进展极其缓慢，且伤亡极其高昂”。

他们表示，俄军在战场上已失去势头，未能夺取新领土，同时在国内也面临挑战。

通过使用北约伙伴提供的各种无人机和其他技术，乌克兰增强了其打击能力。

这种力量给普京及其亲信带来了麻烦，官员们表示，基于目前的挑战，他们的评估是普京“希望避免与北约发生直接对抗”。

但他们警告称，随着莫斯科日益绝望地试图从这场由其发起的战争中攫取任何可能的优势，存在误判的风险。

昨天，戈登·布朗警告称，乌克兰正面临其“最糟糕的冬天”，他敦促英国和其他国家向唐纳德·特朗普施压，允许基辅生产“爱国者”拦截导弹，以防御俄罗斯的袭击。

布朗先生表示，美国总统曾“承诺将向乌克兰提供拦截导弹的设计”，但“尚未这样做”。

这位前首相在爱丁堡国际书展上表示：“我们正处于这场乌克兰战争的一个非常关键时刻。我认为我们必须向美国施压，让他们提供那种似乎只有他们才拥有的拦截导弹，这能为乌克兰的防御带来改变。”

谦逊的 英雄 以及 “极好的 绅士”

诺曼底登陆老兵唐去世，享年105岁

人们纷纷向谦逊的诺曼底登陆英雄唐·霍金斯（Don Howkins）表达哀悼，他曾见证死亡，“以一种我从未讨论过的方式”。

唐在北伦敦恩菲尔德的一家护理院去世，享年105岁。1939年第二次世界大战爆发时，他曾在白金汉郡担任一名屠夫学徒。

1944年6月6日，这位新婚的炮手冲上诺曼底的金滩（Gold Beach），协助解放被纳粹占领的欧洲。

他后来拒绝被称作英雄，他说：“我们当时都只是年轻小伙子。加入领土部队（Territorials）只是为了找点事做——我们从未意识到将会发生什么。”

退伍军人出租车慈善机构副主席迪克·古德温（Dick Goodwin）表示：“唐是一位真正极好的绅士，能结识他是我们巨大的荣幸和特权。”

在讲述登陆后的情况时，唐曾说：“我们与敌人的第一次交战是在蒂利-叙尔-瑟伊（Tilly-sur-Seulles），就在这里，我目睹了一个城镇的毁灭以及死亡，其方式是我从未讨论过的。”

“我来自家乡的一位好朋友受了重伤，他的战争生涯就此结束。”

“从那里起，我们之字形向北穿过诺曼底，于10月抵达比利时的布赖讷勒孔特（Braine-le-Comte）……我们失去了一些优秀的战士。当然，我们继续前进，穿过荷兰进入德国。”

唐曾在皇家炮兵第90重防空飞机团服役——这是一个于1939年4月1日在米德尔塞克斯郡南盖特组建的领土部队单位。

这位三个孩子的父亲在和平时期经常回到法国表达敬意。

为了纪念 2024 年入侵 80 周年并向他牺牲的朋友们致敬，唐前往位于韦尔叙梅尔（Ver-sur-Mer）、俯瞰其 D-Day 登陆海滩的英国诺曼底纪念碑，与战友们以及国王一同伫立。

唐被授予了法国最高国家荣誉勋章——法国荣誉军团勋章（Légion d'honneur）。

意外

他曾回忆道：“就是在诺曼底，因为一次非常疏忽的十字路口指示牌意外，我失去了我的下士军衔。”

“我接到命令去引导交通……坦克制造了大量的灰尘，我迷失了方向，随之几辆坦克也迷路了。部队指挥官意识到他们正朝着错误的方向前进，于是他让部队掉头回来找我。”

战后，他恢复了屠夫的职业，与妻子多萝西共同抚养孩子，并于1992.退休。她于2004去世。

他们的三个孩子分别是迈克尔、艾伦和苏珊。艾伦表示：“除了他的子女，他还留下了三个孙辈、六个继孙辈、三个曾孙辈、一个继曾孙辈，以及许多深受喜爱的侄子、侄女和无数的朋友。”

他补充道：“如果您今晚或近期外出，请举杯祝愿他一路走好！”

“世界失去了一位像王子一样高尚的人，他将永远无法被忘记或取代。”

古德温先生说：“他在战后建立了一家非常成功的家族企业，但他始终与战时服役的记忆以及沿途结识的朋友们保持着深厚的联系。”

“我们认识唐的时候太晚了，他无法参加我们的其中一次退伍军人之旅，但我们很高兴能以另一种方式帮助他。”

“出租车慈善机构（The Taxi Charity）能够找到关于一些曾在诺曼底与他并肩作战的朋友的信—”

息，并且对唐来说至关重要的一点是，能够替他祭拜他们的坟墓并拍照。

“这对我们来说是一件小事，但对唐来说意义重大。能为这样一个可爱的人做如此有意义的事情，是一种荣幸。”

唐的去世发生在联合国教科文组织将代号为奥马哈、犹他、索德、戈尔德和朱诺的 D-Day 登陆海滩授予世界遗产地位几周之后。

该区域包括一座列有 22,540 名阵亡士兵姓名的英国纪念碑，该纪念碑由当时的查尔斯王子于 June 6, 2021 揭幕。

前陆军总参谋长、诺曼底纪念信托基金会主席兼诺曼底精神信托基金会赞助人丹纳特勋爵将军称，诺曼底海滩是“世界上最重要的历史景观之一”。

他补充道：“这些海滩不仅是缅怀之地……它们更是自由和共同国际遗产的象征。如果希望后代能够理解我们今天享有的自由所付出的代价，那么保护这些海滩至关重要。”

纪念碑的 160 根石灰岩柱上刻有在入侵行动及为期三个月的诺曼底战役中牺牲的 38 个国家男女军人的姓名。其中最年轻的死者年仅 16, 最年长的为 64。

市议会命令出租车公司移除纪念罂粟花

尼尔·麦克伦南及其妻子简与被禁贴纸合影

一家出租车公司在收到一起投诉后，被强制要求将其车辆上的纪念罂粟花和“勿忘牺牲”（Lest We Forget）标志移除。

肯特郡谢皮岛 iCars 公司的老板尼尔·麦克伦南（Neil McLennan）两年前在其 11 辆车的车队上贴上了这些标志，以向退伍军人致敬。

但在斯韦尔区议会（Swale Borough Council）收到仅一次投诉后，一名官员打电话要求他根据禁止张贴广告和足球贴纸的政策将其移除。

根据议会政策，不允许展示除“经议会专门批准”以外的任何标志。

尼尔在“被迫”情况下移除了这些符号，但得到了愤怒的客户和居民的支持。这位 55 岁的

作者：杰克·菲菲尔德（JACK FIFIELD）

说道：“我有许多朋友和家人参加过不同的战争并服过役。”

“对我影响最大的是 80 年代后期——我妻子和我参加了一个扶轮青年社（Rotaract）会议，西蒙·韦斯顿（Simon Weston）也在场。在马尔维纳斯战争（福克兰群岛战争）中，他被严重烧伤，全身大面积灼伤。他真的成了我一生的灵感来源。”

“我们需要支持这些为我们做出如此多贡献的退伍军人。”

尼尔补充道：“那些支持同性恋自豪月之类的人——如果那是你们坚定的信念，那么说‘我支持这些人’有什么问题？为什么我们不能支持他们？为什么我们不能表达我们的忠诚？”

工党议员凯文·麦肯纳（Kevin McKenna）敦促议会不要“惩罚” iCars 公司，并补充说他将“帮助寻找一个公正的解决方案”。

斯韦尔区议会（SBC）表示，此前曾允许 iCars 的出租车展示罂粟花和英国皇家退伍军人协会（RBL）的贴纸，但在收到投诉后，“我们根据政策核查了该用途，结果是不允许的”。

议会补充道：“问题不在于罂粟花或英国皇家退伍军人协会（议会对此表示支持），而在于我们收到投诉称该车辆不符合我们的政策。我们正计划召开一次许可分委会会议，讨论 iCars 的豁免请求。”

《唐顿庄园》的休·博纳维尔

休加入阻止 AI 语音克隆的运动

作者：凯西·库珀-菲斯克（CASEY COOPER-FISKE）

《唐顿庄园》明星休·博纳维尔（Hugh Bonneville）已加入一项抗议人工智能语音克隆的运动。

“现在就拯救我们的声音”（Save Our Voices Now）旨在阻止 AI 被用于复制某人的声音，使其能说出任何被指令的内容。

这位《帕丁顿》明星休表示：“我的声音是独一无二的，它属于我，是我身份的一部分。你的声音也是如此。这值得为此发声。”

包括《小不列颠》（Little Britain）的马特·卢卡斯（Matt Lucas）以及《德里女孩》（Derry Girls）明星尼古拉·考夫兰（Nicola Coughlan）和希奥班·麦克斯威尼（Siobhan McSweeney）在内的演员们也支持该运动。

约 80 人签署了一封致首相的公开信，一项 Gov.uk 请愿书要求英国每个人都被赋予其声音的所有权，将其作为法定权利的一部分。

在这部青少年情景喜剧中饰演迈克尔修女的希奥班表示：“为了适应并随技术进步而前行，我不明白为什么我们要将‘人’从这个等式中剔除。我们的观众需要那种人性化的连接。”

木糖醇水平最高者心脏病发作或中风的风险更高

饮食中木糖醇含量最高者的风险增加

女性心脏健康迎来新助力

作者：马丁·巴戈特 (MARTIN BAGOT)

科学家们宣布，在被忽视数十年之后，心脏病发作女性的治疗方式将迎来一场“革命”。

由于心脏病发作最初被误诊，每年有数万人面临致命的国民医疗服务体系 (NHS) 延迟——女性被误诊的可能性高出 50%。

现在，主要影响女性的心脏病发作在全球规则中已获得升级，以防止数百万患者被医疗机构漏诊。

被列为优先处理的原发性心脏病发作，现在还将包括通常由情绪压力、运动和分娩诱发的类型。

在慕尼黑举行的全球最大规模心脏病会议在听取了医生经常认为心脏病是男性问题的情况后，宣布了此次改革。

爱丁堡大学的尼古拉斯·米尔斯 (Nicholas Mills) 教授告诉《镜报》：“这是一场革命，它将使护理变得更好。”

在英国，冠心病导致女性死亡的人数是乳腺癌的两倍。NHS England 表示，新的国际指南是“一个非常受欢迎的步骤”。

甜味剂“增加心脏病发作风险”

心脏事件与常见木糖醇的高水平相关

科学家表示，在口香糖等无糖产品中发现的人造甜味剂可能会增加心脏病发作和中风的风险。

研究发现，体内木糖醇含量最高的人，发生潜在致命事件的可能性高出 57%。

英国心脏基金会的高级营养师戴尔·斯坦福 (Dell Stanford) 表示：“心脏风险随时间累积，我们需要确保添加到食物中的成分不会产生不利影响。”

“像木糖醇这样的人造甜味剂存在于许多食物和饮料中，人们可能会认为它们是更健康的选择，从而在不知不觉中摄入更多。这项研究增加了越来越多的证据，表明人造甜味剂可能会影响我们的健康。”

甜味剂木糖醇存在于 Wrigley's 等口香糖中

以及像 Peppersmith 这样的无糖薄荷糖中。

它还被用于某些牙膏、漱口水、止咳糖浆和糖果中，但也可以在某些食物（如水果）中天然发现，不过含量极低。

血小板

然而，木糖醇正越来越多地被添加到产品中以替代糖分进行人工甜味化，其添加量通常比自然存在的量高出 1,000 倍。

德国柏林夏里特大学医院（Charité University Hospital）的研究作者马尔科·维特科夫斯基（Marco Witkowski）博士表示，研究表明木糖醇能够“增强血小板形成血栓的能力”。

他补充道：“那些认为人工甜味剂比糖更健康的人会食用这些产品，且监管机构通常认为它们是安全的。我们在普通人群中的长期研究结果——

了解木糖醇的心血管安全性，并表明有必要进行进一步研究，尤其是随着产品中木糖醇含量的持续增加。”

这项在欧洲心脏病学会（European Society of Cardiology）大会上发表的研究，对 17,710 人的木糖醇水平进行了为期六年的监测。

在研究期间高消费木糖醇的人，在 30 年后发生心脏事件的风险仍然高出 18%。

欧洲心脏病学会（ESC）委员会专家丹·阿塔尔（Dan Atar）教授表示：“人工甜味剂被现代社会广泛接受，且其安全性评级一直良好并获得了监管机构的认可。然而，在这项观察性研究中，木糖醇似乎对心血管事件具有长期的负面影响。”

斯坦福先生补充道：“需要注意的是，这是一项观察性研究，这意味着它只能显示较高水平的木糖醇与心血管事件之间存在关联，而不能证明木糖醇直接导致了这些事件。

这不是给增加糖分摄入开绿灯……这项研究提醒我们，我们都需要减少加工食品和饮料的摄入……并专注于均衡饮食。”

慷慨至极：癌症药物测试中的最后奉献

多莉·帕顿（DOLLY Parton）的妹妹透露，在这位歌手与癌症进行了一场“短暂斗争”并去世后，她曾提出接受实验性药物，以帮助未来的患者。

自这位乡村音乐传奇人物本周以 80 岁高龄去世以来，关于她善良与慷慨的故事层出不穷。

她的妹妹斯特拉·帕顿（Stella Parton），77 岁，在的一份声明中表示：“我的姐姐是我所认识的最慷慨、最体贴、最善良的人之一。

“世人所看到的正是她的真实样子，以至于她最近告诉我，如果她已经没有希望了，她仍然愿意允许

作者：肖恩·奥格雷迪 (SEAN O'GRADY)

她的医疗团队尝试使用实验性药物，希望能给未来的其他人提供帮助。”

斯特拉补充道：“多莉热爱这个世界以及其中的每一个人。我会抱怨这个世界，而她会笑着说，‘别管那些了，特达，我们有比担心那些傻瓜更重要的事情要做’。

“她是正确的，而且她每天都在证明这一点。因为她的存在，这个世界变得更美好，所以让我们效仿她的榜样。给你们所有人我的爱与尊重。斯特拉。”

多莉出生在田纳西州农村一个贫困家庭，是12个孩子中的第四个。她以定义时代的热门歌曲而闻名，包括 9 To 5、《I Will Always Love You》和《Jolene》。

她的丈夫卡尔·迪恩去年去世，享年82岁。她的侄子、同时也是她的安保主管布莱恩·西弗于周二宣布了她的死讯。

他说：“悲伤留在我们心中，而不是多莉心中。

“多莉一直生活在光芒之中，现在她处于耶稣的怀抱里，想必已经与卡尔、她的父母以及无数在天堂注视她并渴望见到她的人相聚了。”

父亲回忆传奇巨星在镇上抱着他新生儿的时刻，那个地方让她想起了家乡

作者：汤姆·布莱恩特 (Tom Bryant)

当多莉·帕顿走进罗瑟勒姆医院，抱起谢恩·贾曼出生仅两天的女儿时，他被惊呆了。

但当这位音乐传奇将4磅6盎司的艾玛抱在怀里时，他的目光一直飘向一处……她鲜红色的指甲。

“我的脸上写满了担忧，”58岁的谢恩说。“我看着那些指甲的大小在想，‘千万别捏太紧。那是我女儿的头’。”

这是多莉与南约克郡一个角落之间这段不寻常的情缘中最超现实的时刻之一，而在抵达之前，她几乎从未听说过这个地方。这位本周去世，享年80岁的巨星在2007年的那一天来到罗瑟勒姆，是为了在英国启动首个“想象力图书馆”计划。

受其父亲不识字的影响，该计划从孩子出生起直到 5, 岁，每月向他们发送一本免费书籍。全球已赠送超过 3 亿 本书籍。

但这次起初为了推广该计划的访问，变成了某种更私人化的情感。多莉在田纳西州农村一个小木屋中长大，是12个孩子之一，她在罗瑟勒姆的家庭中看到了自己起步时的影子。

“这是一个有很多勤奋工作的人、贫困的人的地区，我对罗瑟勒姆完全能产生共鸣，”她说。“我很庆幸我们从那里开始，因为那里对我来说真正是一个触动心弦的地方。”

她的喜爱如此深厚，以至于多莉甚至开玩笑说要搬到那里去。“他们因为我去那里而取笑我……我甚至在寻找公寓，”她说。

多莉的约克郡冒险

始于当时的议会领袖罗杰·斯通（Roger Stone）就将“想象力图书馆”（Imagination Library）引入该镇一事与她取得联系。在她离开时，她在马格纳科学冒险中心（Magna Science Adventure Centre）被人群簇拥，令显贵们倾心，并习得了一个新笑话。“现在我发现，罗瑟勒姆（Rotherham）离田纳西州也就‘罗杰·斯通之遥’（a Roger Stone's throw）！”她告诉聚集在此观看她的数百名粉丝。

她的活动最终将她带到了白厅，去游说前内阁大臣埃德·鲍尔斯（Ed Balls）提供资金。GMB主持人埃德回忆道：“多莉·帕顿将手放在我的大腿内侧，在我耳边低语‘希望你不介意我向你示好（hitting on you）’的那一刻，将永远是我政治生涯中的高光时刻之一。”

“如果你觉得我被惊到了，那你应该看看我常任秘书脸上的惊讶表情。她其实是在试图‘向我示好’以获取我部门的资金。我知道，但我并不在意。”

回到罗瑟勒姆，多莉留下了另一个深刻的印象。在女儿艾玛（Emma）出生前，谢恩（Shane）和妻子克莱尔（Claire）经历了一段艰难的孕期，而艾玛恰好在这位巨星抵达该镇的两天前出生。

随后，护士们告诉克莱尔，艾玛有机会由多莉本人亲手递交第一本书。谢恩当时是唐卡斯特（Doncaster）一所学校的副校长，他记得妻子给他打来的电话。

“我当时正爬在梯子上装饰学校的圣诞树，克莱尔说：‘我真的需要你来医院，’他说道，‘我们的孕期并不顺利，所以你可以想象我的反应。她说有人要来探访，但不能告诉我是谁。’”

当工作人员揭晓这位神秘访客的身份时，谢恩以为这整个事情是个恶作剧。

当多莉风风火火地走进房间并询问“我的宝贝在哪里？”时，他震惊不已。“克莱尔和我当时在想：‘我想那是我们的宝贝，但你可以借用两分钟，’”谢恩笑着说，“她身上有一种无穷的能量。但这种能量并不粗鲁或咄咄逼人。”

“当她走进房间时，你能感受到那种能量。她充满活力但很平静，富有同情心，而且令人惊叹。”多莉似乎被小艾玛深深吸引了。在某个时刻，

她请求允许摘掉新生儿的小帽子，以便检查下面的样子。“这非常符合多莉的风格，不是吗？”谢恩笑着说，“她一直很在意头发。”她送给艾玛一本《彼得兔的故事》，这是艾玛收到的几十本书中的第一本。当谢恩和克莱尔有了另一个女儿莉莉（Lily）时，书也开始为她送达。

对这个家庭的影响并未消失。谢恩和克莱尔如今在汉普郡经营一家托儿所和学前班，她寄给女儿们的书至今仍摆在书架上。

“这些不仅仅是艾玛和莉莉的书，”谢恩说，“我们与托儿所的孩子们分享这些书，并且现在仍在帮助他人。”

与此同时，艾玛现在 18 岁，正准备进入大学。

谢恩说，她是一个“热衷于阅读的书虫”，并补充道：“当她说自己被多莉·帕顿抱过时，没人会相信。这在大学里是个很好的破冰话题。”

当谢恩听到多莉去世的消息时，他的思绪回到了那个医院房间。

“我很悲伤，”他透露，“在见过她之后，你会意识到她是一个多么温柔、体贴的灵魂。”

“我真的希望她现在坐在某个高处想着：‘我做了一件好事。’因为她确实做到了。”

‘一场对生命、爱与希望的庆典……’

加沙人质艾米结婚

一名在加沙被囚禁 471 天后幸存的英以双国籍女性在一次充满情感的仪式上与伴侣结婚。

作者：安迪·莱恩斯（ANDY LINES）

30 岁的艾米·达马里（Emily Damari）于 2023 年 10 月 7 日被哈马斯枪手劫持为人质。她的腿部和手部中弹，并失去了两根手指。

随后，她在地狱般的条件下被囚禁了 15 个多月，最终获得自由并返回英格兰。

艾米在特拉维夫的一场仪式上，在亲友的见证下与女友 36 岁的丹妮尔·阿姆里特（Danielle Amrit）结为夫妻。

艾米的母亲曼迪（Mandy）在婚礼上发表了一篇由衷的演讲。

不可能

她告诉宾客：“曾几何时，我不确定是否还能再次见到艾米。在 471 天里，她被囚禁着。在那些无尽的日日夜夜中，曾有那么一些时刻，想到今晚能站在这里，看到我的女儿活着、安全、快乐，并站在她爱的人身边，这在当时是无法想象的。

“所以，丹妮尔，你大概能理解为什么今晚对我来说不仅仅是一场婚礼。这是一场对生命的庆祝，对爱的庆祝，对希望的庆祝，以及对一个我曾长期不确定艾米是否能拥有的未来的庆祝。然后我看着你们两人在一起，我才意识到有这么多值得庆祝的事情。”

曼迪继续说道：“艾米，我美丽的女儿，我看着你长大，看着你经历那些任何一位母亲都不希望看到孩子承受的苦难。

“然而，不知怎么地，你挺过来了，你依然是你，依然幽默，依然坚强，依然充满活力，依然能够爱人并被爱。

“今晚，我不想回顾那 471 天。我想展望未来的每一天。

“因为在经历了一切之后，我的女儿在这里。她被爱着。她很幸福。而且她正与你一起开启新篇章，丹妮。”

艾米在以色列克法阿扎（Kfar Aza）的家中被绑架，她与双胞胎加利·伯曼（Gali Berman）和齐夫·伯曼（Ziv Berman）一起从安全室被劫走，这对双胞胎也是婚礼的宾客。

她是哈马斯袭击期间唯一一名被劫持的英国国民，并在 2025 年 1 月 19 日获释后结识了丹妮尔。

与这对情侣最亲近的人将他们的关系描述为具有非凡的韧性。艾米经常说，她最大的希望是成为一名好母亲，并与丹妮尔共同建立一个幸福且有意义的生活。

男子承认毁坏犹太救护车

四名男子承认在一次纵火袭击中毁坏了四辆犹太社区救护车，造成 £100 万 的损失。

20 岁的哈姆扎·伊克巴尔（Hamza Iqbal）、19 岁的雷汉·汗（Rehan Khan）、18 岁的朱德克斯·阿特沙齐（Judex Atshatshi）和 18 岁的赛义夫·阿里（Saif Ali）对一项毁坏或损坏财产且不顾是否危及生命的指控认罪。

该指控涉及 3 月 23 日凌晨发生在北伦敦戈尔德斯格林（Golders Green）的救护车袭击事件。据称，其中三名被告纵火焚烧了装满物资的

车辆，而第四名被告在车内等待。大火导致救护车内的气罐爆炸，附近的公寓和一座犹太会堂也遭到火灾损坏。

在中央刑事法院（Old Bailey），奇玛-格鲁布法官（Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb）要求为来自东伦敦的伊克巴尔（来自莱顿）、汗（来自莱顿）、阿特沙齐（来自达格纳姆）以及拥有英巴双重国籍的阿里（来自沃尔瑟姆斯托）提交量刑前报告。他们被还押候审，将于明年被判刑。

银行假期火车服务陷入混乱

作者：艾伦·琼斯（ALAN JONES）

由于员工罢工和工程施工，铁路乘客将面临一个银行假期的噩梦。

东米德兰铁路公司（East Midlands Railway）的 RMT 工会成员将举行罢工，这将影响周日和银行假期周一的火车服务。

这两天往返伦敦的时刻表将“大幅缩减”。伦敦圣潘克拉斯车站（London St Pancras）和谢菲尔德车站（Sheffield）都将实施排队系统。

乘客被告知，仅在旅程至关重要的情况下才使用受影响的路线，并在出发前检查时间。

RMT 工会强调了对部分 EMR 火车安全问题的担忧，包括缺乏空调和车门故障。

该运营商的高管向旅客对此次“令人沮丧”的干扰表示道歉，并称“建设性”的谈判正在进行中。

与此同时，由于国家铁路公司（Network Rail）进行数字化信号升级，本周日伦敦国王十字车站（London King's Cross）与彼得伯勒（Peterborough）之间将没有 LNER 火车运行。

“吃完就跑”男子付出晚餐代价

作者：伊索贝尔·威廉姆斯（ISOBEL WILLIAMS）

一名窃贼在尝试“吃完就跑”后，最终为一顿 £250 的牛排晚餐支付了一笔账单。

44, 岁的强尼·德莱尼（Johnny Delaney）于 11 月与一名女性和两名儿童在肯特郡阿什福德（Ashford, Kent）的 Stubbs 餐厅用餐，随后在未付款的情况下离开。

德莱尼点了一大餐牛排和鸡尾酒，期间没有任何抱怨，随后才试图称食物太冷且含有头发。

但由于他们全部吃完了餐点且此前未提出该问题，他们在离开前仍被告知账单金额为 £252，随后他们未付款便离开了。

警方随后逮捕了德莱尼，他在坎特伯雷刑事法院（Canterbury crown court）承认了盗窃罪。

他被判处 12 个月的社区矫正，并被要求支付 £252 的赔偿金、£114 的受害者附加费以及法院诉讼费。

Stubbs 餐厅老板萨莉·纽曼（Sally Newman）表示：“这种盗窃行为给我和我的勤奋同事带来了巨大的情感和运营压力。我们希望这能传递一个明确的信号。”

像薯条一样便宜？土豆农户称这个夏天之后不再如此

土豆农户警告称，在这个夏天之后，薯条可能会变得更小、更贵，且供应量更少。

数月的酷暑和干旱导致种植者不得不面对产量缩减的困境，传统作物在炎热天气中难以生长。

这些变化可能会对传统的炸鱼薯条店产生剧烈影响。

康沃尔郡农民菲利普·普赖尔（Philip Pryor）表示，在创纪录的最热 6 月之后，他收获的沙拉土豆仅为预期数量的一半。

他说：“在 45 年里，我从未见过这样的作物。早期的作物情况不算太糟，比标准低了一点，大概 $10$。”

全英国的土豆农户都经历了一个毁灭性的夏天。

“然而，我们现在收获的作物受干旱天气的影响更大。从 5 月 1 起晚种的作物，产量可能下降了 50%。无论你怎么粉饰，可供销售的土豆就是没那么多，就这么简单。”

当温度达到 25 摄氏度时，植株往往会停止生长，因此虽然它们可能存活，但不会生长。

灾难

菲利普预计，他的晚收作物中高达 70% 将被归类为小号。

他补充道：“通常情况下，我们会停止种植沙拉土豆，因为它们会长得太大。但这次我们不需要停止种植任何一种。它们就这么死了。”

较大的品种承受的压力尤为严重。据主要种子开发商 Meijer Potato UK 的销售经理特里·琼斯（Terry Jones）称，烤土豆将“面临一个非常困难的季节”，而夹克土豆（jacket potatoes）可能会出现严重短缺。

这可能会影响到炸鱼薯条店，因为较大的土豆所需的削皮量较少且浪费较少，顾客可能会注意到今年的薯条比往年短。

特里表示，英格兰北部和苏格兰的作物情况较好，但这无法弥补英格兰和威尔士的巨大损失。他补充道：“那里出现了一些彻头彻尾的灾难。我们看到整个英国都存在持续的短缺。”

独家报道 作者：莎拉·巴尔特罗普（SARAH BARLTROP）

“这将给正确品质产品的供应带来挑战，而且极有可能对价格产生影响。”

答案似乎显而易见——增加进口以压低价格。但今年情况特别异常，因为短缺也影响到了北欧。

随着农民预见到更炎热的夏天将成为常态，几种解决方案已被摆在桌面。Meijer 正在开发能够承受土耳其那种酷暑的新土豆品种。

特里说：“我们知道，如果土豆能应对地中海国家的夏天，那么它们在这里也应该可行。那些能应对极端气候的品种突然间变得对市场更有吸引力了。”

专家警告，炸鱼薯条店将受到影响

目前 Melody 是烤土豆中“最大且最好的品种”，但一个名为 Drummer 的新成员正变得流行，因为它对高温的“应对能力极佳”。

炸鱼薯条店更倾向于 Sagitta、Lady Anna 和 Agria 品种，但特里表示，处于开发初期的 Lady Jane 土豆比他的联系人在今年种植的任何其他品种都更能耐热。

基思·萨默斯（Keith Summers）是一位位于萨默塞特郡的种子种植者，他认为农民需要获得更公平的价格。他透露，由于天气炎热，他今年的产量仅为预期的一半，去年则减少了 25%，导致他遭受了“巨额”损失。

他说：“这显然不是偶然事件。”

基思认为，超市每公斤土豆只需多支付一便士即可。

投资

他补充道：“每个人的利润空间都很小。我们不能随意提高价格，因为供应链的下一个环节无法承受双倍的支付，因为超市不会付给他双倍的价格。显而易见的解决方案是产品价格需要上涨。”

“不需要上涨到令人惊恐的程度，就能产生显著影响。”

特里担心，如果价格不上涨，农民将停止承担种植土豆的风险，这可能会影响粮食安全。

他回顾了去年，当时每吨袋装土豆的售价在 £150 到 £200 之间，他说这“还不够——处于这个价格水平的农民损失了大量资金”。

他补充道：“已经有种植者在考虑明年怎么做了，因为这是一项巨大的投资。”

“如果你看不到面前有公平获利的可能，那么动力在哪里？”

《每日快报》的“拯救我们的炸鱼薯条”运动旨在提高人们对土豆种植问题的认识。

屋外树木被砍伐，电力被切断，玛格丽特公主被困

已故女王的妹妹曾在爱尔兰一座宏伟的乡村别墅中，在爱尔兰共和军（IRA）的虚拟围攻下度过了 48 小时，这段经历成为一部惊险新小说的主题。作者讲述了这部小说背后戏剧性的真实故事。

1965 年 1 月初，在基尔肯尼圣玛丽大教堂上午 11 点的弥撒中，一位名叫舍林神父的牧师发表了一篇讲道，他将主显节作为隐喻，来面对社区中正在发生的一些事情。这并不是牧师第一次将讲坛当作演说台，也不会是最后一次。但这次的话题绝非寻常。

“在这个主显节，是来自远方的国王们前来向上帝之子致敬，”他说。“带着爱与礼物拜访我们身边的人，是我们基督徒实践的一部分……也是巨大的快乐之源……”然而，他继续说道：“我们看到……两个年轻人单纯地前来拜访他们的朋友，却受到了警告。我们看到一群糊涂的年轻人，试图剥夺他人那些他们声称正在为其而战的权利。”

这两位“年轻人”实际上是玛格丽特公主和她的丈夫斯诺登勋爵，他们前来拜访斯诺登勋爵的妹妹苏珊，苏珊嫁给了德·韦西勋爵，住在附近的阿比莱克斯庄园。

而那些所谓的“糊涂蛋”比任何人预想的都要更有组织且目标明确——他们是爱尔兰共和军（IRA）的残余势力。

这并不是玛格丽特第一次访问阿比莱克斯。她和斯诺登在几年前曾有过一次成功的旅行。

独家报道 记者：艾米莉·胡里肯 (Emily Hourican)

开着一辆红色的小型跑车四处游玩，拜访朋友，其中包括来自著名的英爱家族的社交名流兼作家德斯蒙德·吉尼斯 (Desmond Guinness)，整体看起来非常快乐。

那次访问持续了两周，安保工作由爱尔兰警察部队（An Garda Siochana）负责。费用高昂，而且政府中没有人特别高兴她能在短短三年后再次进行所谓的“私人访问”。爱尔兰议会就再次承担安保费用是否合理提出了质疑。但事实上，这根本没有讨论的空间。

在爱尔兰土地上，现任英国君主的妹妹如果出了什么意外，这种想法简直恐怖到无法想象。然而，早期的预警信号并不乐观。

谢林神父所谴责的那些人可能是“糊涂蛋”，但他们绝非傻瓜。在玛格丽特抵达前的几天里，反对玛格丽特的活动升级了。阿比莱克斯 (Abbeyleix) 中心喷泉上被涂上了“王室和琼斯滚回家”的字样，名为“爱尔兰土地上不容外国势力”和“我们是人民共和国，而非王室殖民地”的传单开始流传。1965年的爱尔兰共和军 (IRA) 虽远未灭绝，但已是一个衰落的组织。

独立战争和内战的繁忙岁月早已过去，他们的存在理由变得尴尬。当时，大多数爱尔兰人对北方六个郡被“占领”的事项仅持有短暂的兴趣（这远未达到后来的敏感程度——此时距离北爱尔兰事件点燃新一代冲突还早四年）。

然而，爱尔兰共和军依然存在。

他们是一个被禁组织，成员将面临六个月的监禁。对他们来说，这是一个机会——一个发表高调声明的机会。

在从香农机场前往阿比莱克斯大宅的车途中，一辆载有四名男子的灰色福特车试图强行切入载有玛格丽特公主和斯诺登的车辆与随行安保车辆之间。

这次尝试失败了——玛格丽特的司机反应太快——但不安情绪在增加，而意识到阿比莱克斯大宅大门前的人群（大多是渴望一睹公主风采的女性）中，还混入了几个压低帽檐遮住眼睛、分发传单的男子，这让情况雪上加霜。有趣的是，负责公主安保的负责人曾是旧共和军成员，后来加入了公民卫队 (Civic Guard)。

那天晚上，在夜色的掩护下，一枚汽油弹被扔过了围墙。接着又是另一枚。第二枚炸弹损坏了电线并摧毁了一个电力变电站，使大宅以及周围的房屋陷入黑暗。与此同时，大门外和沿路上的树木被砍倒，树枝被锯断和劈砍，导致道路无法通行。

于是，他们——玛格丽特和斯诺登——被困在了一栋没有电的房子里。他们在那里停留了48小时，直到道路被清理完毕才能离开。

那些“糊涂蛋”成功地发表了一次大胆的声明。而玛格丽特以一种典型的王室风格的坚忍，努力试图淡化此事。她没有发表任何公开声明，据报道她在午夜悄悄地就寝了。

但在那栋房子里，在被锁闭的那些小时里，究竟发生了什么？

这就是我的新小说《冬日之屋》(A House in Winter) 的主题。

显然，我无法确切知道发生了什么——毕竟，这是一部虚构作品。但基于我对当时玛格丽特和斯诺登两人的理解，它探讨了可能发生的情况。

那时他们已经结婚五年，两个孩子都已经出生。玛格丽特在两个孩子出生后显然都患有我们现在所称的产后抑郁症，尤其是在第二个孩子莎拉出生后情况最为严重，而那次访问就在莎拉出生八个月后。在那个年代，没有人会对这种情况给出明确的定义——也许会被称为“产后忧郁”（baby blues），但对于如此严重的情况来说，这个词实在太轻描淡写了。

在她的父亲乔治六世国王去世后，她曾在一次面对皇家传记作者的访谈中承认：“有一种身处黑洞的可怕感觉。我记得当时感觉视野变得狭窄，并没有真正注意到周围的事物。”

这与任何关于抑郁症的描述一样贴切，对于一个大多时候只是“默默忍受”的人来说，这是一种罕见的坦白。

正如她的朋友科林·坦南特（Colin Tennant）所言：“在她的圈子里，你不能提到这个词。”

取而代之的是酒精——午餐时喝金汤力，晚餐及之后喝威士忌兑水；“再来一杯小酒（drinkiewinkie）怎么样？”是玛格丽特最常说的话之一。

那时她和斯诺登早已过了蜜月期。尽管在求婚期间斯诺登曾与他人孕育了一个孩子，但在结婚的前几年里，他似乎相当忠诚，但到1965年，可以相当肯定他不再忠诚了。玛格丽特本人也在访问阿比莱克斯（Abbeyleix）几个月后，开始了她此后数次外遇中的第一次。

他们又在一起维持了十年，但腐朽早已深入。皇家礼节带来的持续压力，

以及频繁公开露面的压力，而且——或许——始终处于次要地位（对他们两人而言都是如此！）的恼火感，都在产生负面影响。

斯诺登在公开场合被迫走在妻子身后几步，必须听命于她；在为她的任何公开表演鼓掌时，必须将双手举到不自然的高度，以便被人们看到。他已对自己的婚姻生活感到幻灭。

玛格丽特的星光也在黯淡。到1965年，她的王位继承顺序已降至第五，从曾经第二的巅峰跌落。因此，她变得越来越无关紧要，将时间分散在一些不重要的公开活动中。

她在其中的地位在萎缩。接着出现了那些便条。斯诺登的不快开始通过留给妻子的一系列残酷便条来表达——这些便条被塞在她阅读的书里，或者她穿着的手套里。

情况恶化到她不再敢打开自己的抽屉——她要求女仆代劳，以免里面藏着一张充满恶意的便条。

其中一张写着：“你看上去像个廉价的圣诞剧丑角”，另一张写着：“我恨你的24个理由”。（玛格丽特在向朋友诉苦时回应道：“我想不出恨任何人的24个理由。”）

20世纪60年代带来的机遇——尤其是对女性而言——正与她擦肩而过。随着社会的开放，

这就是我所写的小说的背景。这是英爱关系漫长历史中一个微小但具有深意的事件。一个在很大程度上被遗忘的事件。即使在爱尔兰，在历史学家之中，也很少有人记得。在某种程度上，这很合理——毕竟，并没有发生什么大事。没有人被杀，甚至没有人受伤。损害微乎其微。

然而，Pathé News 的影像记录了在蒙特梅利克（Mountmellick）法院周围的场景，当时十名在事件后被逮捕并被指控蓄意破坏财产的男子正在受审。画面令人震惊。整条主街挤满了具有攻击性的群众——一片愤怒的人海。

与警察的冲突激烈且普遍。警棍雨点般落在人们的头部和肩膀上，拳头四处挥舞。几名男子被按在地上遭到毒打，随后被同伴拖走。一名警察被打出血鼻，头部遭到殴打，直到同事介入。

此外，还有一个小补充——1969年，当另一次公主访问的提议被提出时，爱尔兰政府坚决拒绝了——他们根本无法保证她的安全。

这些是我在构建对艾比莱克斯庄园（Abbeyleix House）在那个紧张的 48 小时内的人员状况之看法时所依据的因素。

一个女人，一个男人，一段陷入危机的婚姻；一间锁上的房间，一个谜团。离开那栋房子的人与到达时已有了微妙的不同：究竟发生了什么？

大学校园猫咪虽逝但未被遗忘

深受喜爱的居民 Pebbles

作者：SAM RUSSELL

一只大学校园猫在初次闯入学生生活近 17 年后去世，他曾拥有自己的雕像以示纪念。

Pebbles 于 2010 年首次出现在埃塞克斯大学的科尔切斯特校区。

他曾接受过微芯片扫描并被送回附近的主人身边，但他一直返回大学，因此他的主人同意让他留下。

夏季。 花园

这只黑白相间的家猫深受学生喜爱，2024 年人们为其制作了一座以其形象为原型的青铜雕像。

Pebbles 以经常在校园内走动而闻名，他会走进讲堂，在校区的广场上徘徊，并在图书馆里睡觉。

他在两年前从校园“退休”，并与埃塞克斯学生会首席执行官克雷格·斯蒂芬斯（Craig Stephens）生活在一起，直到在一次短暂的疾病后去世。

斯蒂芬斯先生表示：“Pebbles 是偶然来到埃塞克斯的，他选择留下，并成为了这里归属感的一部分。他给这么多人带来了这么多快乐，我会非常想念他的。”

让每一滴水都发挥作用

雨水是花园最宝贵的资源之一，为什么要让它白白浪费？这款可折叠雨水桶提供了一种实用且便捷的雨水收集和储存方式，为您浇花、清洗工具和其他户外工作提供现成的水源。

只需将其放置在落水管下方，网格过滤进水口在桶装满水时可帮助阻挡叶子和昆虫。侧面水龙头可轻松连接软管，方便在需要时为花床、菜地、花盆和容器浇水。溢流口有助于防止大雨期间过量填充，而排水阀则使排空和清洁变得简单。

准备好迎接……秋天即将到来

昨日清晨，一场秋季“血月”以一种诡异的红色光芒预告了新季节的到来，仅在未被雷雨天气覆盖的地区可见。

在肯特郡拉姆斯盖特的佩格韦尔湾（Pegwell Bay），早起的人们目睹了一场壮观的月偏食。随着月球进入地球的阴影，其可见直径在峰值时被遮挡了 93%。

月食始于凌晨 3.30 左右，并在 5.12 达到顶峰。由于月球处于地平线较低的位置，营造出一种其体积异常巨大的错觉。

这个银行假期周末，不稳定天气将持续，更多的强降雨和强风将威胁到音乐节及户外计划。

作者：弗朗西丝·米勒（FRANCES MILLAR）

预计今天英国大部分地区将有雨，仅苏格兰极东北地区可能免于降雨。南海岸可能出现高达 35 英里的阵风，而英格兰和威尔士部分地区仍有雷暴风险。

前往雷丁与利兹音乐节、Creamfields 以及其他活动的参与者已收到警告，需为大风天气做好准备。

英国气象局（Met Office）气象学家安妮·沙特沃思（Annie Shuttleworth）表示：“在银行假期周一，我们可能会看到一些相当强风的天气，主要集中在北部地区。但我认为对于整个英国来说，这可能是一个相对有风的一天，因此如果你本周末在户外，这可能会影响你的计划。”

预计明天西北英格兰、北爱尔兰和苏格兰西北部将出现最强降雨，随后强风可能会在周一席卷北部地区。

独家报道 作者：马特·尼克森 (Matt Nixson)

任何想要寻找罗伯特·哈里斯 (Robert Harris) 畅销小说灵感线索的人，无需远求。在他位于伯克希尔家中那间宽敞且弥漫着雪茄气息的书房里，从地板延伸至天花板的书架上摆满了历史书和政治传记，其中就安放着一座巨大的尤利乌斯·凯撒 (Julius Caesar) 皇帝胸像。

在他附近的办公桌上，摆放着罗马将军阿格里帕 (Agrippa) 唯一现存雕塑的等身复制品，而阿格里帕正是他最新历史大作的标题人物。

哈里斯曾花很多时间凝视这座胸像——用他的话描述，那是“一个你绝不想与之作对的人的面孔”——并思考这位平民的动机，他在 2,000 年前作为凯撒养子奥古斯都 (Augustus) 的得力助手而崛起并获得荣耀。

“他是一个令人惊叹的人物，对于小说家来说非常理想，因为我们对他内心世界的了解太少了，”哈里斯解释道，“阿格里帕的职业生涯极其不凡，但我们没有任何书信，没有幸存的演说，也不了解他的家庭出身。然而，他曾多年共同统治罗马世界，并且是奥古斯都胜利的建筑师。”

这些胜利包括公元前 31 年的 Actium 海战，当时阿格里帕的海军在希腊海岸击败了马克·安东尼 (Mark Antony) 和克利奥帕特拉 (Cleopatra) 的联军，在十年的内斗之后确保了奥古斯都的统治——这是哈里斯在 17 本书中首次描写战斗场景。

“要写一部不只是事件清单的阿格里帕传记是非常困难的，”他承认道，“而如果你能够使用小说家的工具，你就可以去学者或历史学家无法到达的地方——你可以推测，创造场景，并试图弄清楚这两个在青少年时期相遇并建立了持续 35 年伙伴关系的人物，是如何从无名之辈变成控制罗马帝国的人。”

事实上，奥古斯都比他的朋友兼支持者多活了 25 年——于公元 14 年去世，享年 75 岁，并且几乎将阿格里帕从罗马帝国的历史中抹去了。因此，哈里斯按照他的习惯，填补了这些空白。

这部新小说讲述了这位病重的将军被妻子背叛，在 50 岁时孤独地回顾自己传奇一生的故事——这是他在二十多年来第五次涉足古罗马。而且这没什么不对，毕竟罗马帝国对他一直格外眷顾。

哈里斯凭借《祖国》(Fatherland) 成名，这部 1992 年的超级畅销书想象了一个纳粹赢得第二次世界大战的反事实世界。而他的第四本书《庞贝》(Pompeii) 则代表了一定的商业风险。那些喜欢他描写战争和冷战时期故事的读者，会跟随他回到更遥远的过去吗？

“当我说明我想写《庞贝》时，人们都倒吸了一口凉气，”他轻笑着说，“我告诉我的编辑，‘这里有很多有趣的人物，比如大普林尼 (Pliny the Elder)’。”

“而她盯着我看，说，‘我们至少能不能把它改成小普林尼 (Pliny the Younger)？’”

结果，尽管这让他离开了舒适区，但哈里斯无需担心。《庞贝》取得了巨大的成功。读者们纷纷阅读这本书，它也开启了新的创作途径。

“我发现我可以从冷战和第二次世界大战的背景转向古罗马，并且同样畅销，”他继续说道，“读者群会跟随我。”

当畅销书作家罗伯特·哈里斯在一部关于古罗马最神秘领导人之一的惊险新小说中重返古代世界时，他揭示了最初让他回到过去的幸运意外，以及让他至今仍深陷其中的现代平行之处。

阿格里帕胸像，罗伯特最新小说的主角

随后，他完成了一部基于罗马政治家西塞罗生平的畅销三部曲（并被皇家莎士比亚剧团改编为舞台剧），以及一系列关于20世纪英国政治的热门书籍（《幽灵》，2007年；《慕尼黑》，2017年；以及《悬崖》，2024年）；关于教皇选举的作品（《秘密会议》，2016年）；关于纳粹超级武器的作品（《V2》，2020年）；以及追寻查理一世杀手的故事（《遗忘法案》，2022年）等。正因如此，他第一次涉足古代世界竟然在某种程度上是一个“快乐的意外”，才显得更加令人称奇。

“我一直试图写一部关于现代美国，或者稍微未来的美国的小说，但没能成功，”他说。“然后我想，‘为什么我不写一部以古罗马为背景的寓言呢？’我想写一个强大的乌托邦国家突然受到威胁——这就是我在世纪之交时的感受。”

当时，关于1980年5月18日圣海伦斯火山爆发（导致57名美国人死亡并摧毁了华盛顿州周边地区）的新研究，帮助作者推测了公元79年维苏威火山爆发时庞贝城发生的情况。由此产生的书籍成为了历史小说的杰作——睿智、有趣，并深入刻画了真实与虚构的人物。哈里斯发现了此后定义其作品的绝活——将扣人心弦的虚构故事巧妙地填入历史基石的缝隙之中。

此外，这位前记者和广播员发现自己被罗马权力、政治与残酷的结合所吸引。他开始在当代政治中看到其回响。

“如果你像我一样想写政治和权力，罗马人就是最初的模型，而且你可以获得双重效果——你既可以尝试让他们的世界活起来，同时也能看到我们自身政治文化中的深层逻辑。”在与妻子、同样是畅销小说家的格莉·霍恩比（Gli Hornby）共居的房屋附近，在当地酒吧的啤酒花园里，哈里斯一边啜饮着一杯冰镇白葡萄酒，一边交谈。

69岁的哈里斯是一个极佳的谈话伙伴。他知识渊博且人脉广泛，对时事有着业内人士的敏锐洞察力，尽管他在三十年前就离开了全职新闻业，但他无疑被列为我们当代最伟大的故事讲述者之一。

但关于成功的秘诀，他谦虚地表示，关键在于素材。

“我发现我可以从第二次世界大战写到古罗马，而且同样畅销”

“我做我热爱的事情，并且认真对待，”他解释道。“鉴于我喜欢写关于各种公共议题的书，素材在小说中往往被相当地忽视，因为小说倾向于关注地位较低的人。你写让你着迷的东西，读者能感觉到你是否真正投入——我的意思是，《秘密会议》是一部关于教皇选举的小说，里面全是枢机主教！”

这种写作的最高代表当然是莎士比亚，他的剧作经常塑造巨大的历史人物，同时巧妙地将人物的心理研究与宏大的历史事件进程相结合。

哈里斯对这种比较付之一笑，但毫无疑问，他的书在读者中引起了类似的共鸣，在人气增长的同时，还激发了一系列成功的电影和电视改编。而且就像这位“吟游诗人”一样，这位四个孩子的父亲无论在写哪个时代，对当代政治都有着敏锐的洞察力。

“阿格里帕的一生大致跨越了罗马民主共和国的终结和独裁统治的到来，”哈里斯继续说道。“旧体制的表象被保留了下来，但实际上那只是个幌子，古罗马权力分享的民主制已经消失了。而你确实能感觉到，我们现在正进入一个潜在的后民主时代。”

“没有任何迹象表明任何制度能永远持续下去。当你观察唐纳德·特朗普或埃隆·马斯克，以及当今世界上的任何强人时，你可以看到公众对制度和民主的支持正在被侵蚀。我试图诚实地讲述阿格里帕的故事，但现在这个故事比 20 年前更具现实意义。”

我们谈话的时间点恰好在工党将基尔·斯塔默替换为安迪·伯纳姆之后不久，回想起来，这种权力更迭的手段颇具罗马风格。

“谢天谢地，如今这种情况并不致命，而在罗马时代，通常是致命的，”哈里斯轻笑着说。“我引用一句名言：‘权力将我们所有人变成了怪物’。因为在击败马克·安东尼和克利奥帕特拉之后，奥古斯都设法抓获了克利奥帕特拉的儿子凯撒里昂，尽管他只是个年仅 17 或 18 岁的无辜少年，但仍被处死。”

他指出，凯撒里昂同时也是尤利乌斯·凯撒之子，因此是另一个潜在的权力竞争者。“这就是政治的缩影。当一名领导者失足，当他们不再赢得同事的信任时，他们就会变得软弱，达尔文式的自然选择过程随之接管，然后另一个人会出现。”

哈里斯是一个聪明的印刷工之子，在进入剑桥大学并加入 BBC 之前，在诺丁汉的一栋市政住宅中长大。在“新工党”时代，他与托尼·布莱尔等人成为了朋友，一直密切关注着事态发展。

“伯纳姆显然是个天生的政治家。他擅长社交，喜欢表演，喜欢与人交谈，出现在镜头前，诸如此类，”他说。

“这是一个巨大的优势。斯塔默看起来总是完全僵硬。在我看来，他最开心的一天就是他走出唐宁街，在北伦敦的一家酒吧与朋友们喝酒的那天。”

“虽然我确信他本想继续执政，但我怀疑他内心深处一定非常庆幸这一切已成为过去。”

“伯纳姆可能会被证明是一个灾难，但在我看来他是个乐观主义者，并且喜欢让别人感到愉快。”

“是的，英国有根深蒂固的问题，但我们也有很多优势——我们需要一位能够表达出这些优势的领导人。”

“政治在一定程度上是行为艺术，我在小说中喜欢加入的内容之一，就是奥古斯都公共形象塑造的极高成熟度。”

“他身体虚弱，圆肩，牙齿不好，皮肤有痘痘，且经常生病。但当时发布的唯一一批他的雕像，全部是某种年轻的阿波罗形象。”

此后，许多政治家一直沿用这一套路。至于哈里斯，虽然他再次潜心于历史，但他的未来将如何？

“我明年就 70 岁了，所以坦白说，我意识到我能写的书不多了，我应该在还能写的时候把它们写完，”他微笑着补充道。

“我没有爱好，我有朋友和家人，但我不上高尔夫球场！”

“所以，我会尝试一直写下去，直到我再也无法执笔为止。”他的众多读者听到这话无疑会感到欣喜。

尽情享受这款南非起泡酒

该地区本身。因此，虽然我们在英国拥有使用与法国完全相同方法酿造的英国起泡酒，但在南非，他们拥有 Cap Classique——他们自己享有盛誉的白起泡酒类别。这个术语自 1992 年起就开始使用，通常能保证是一款绝佳的南非起泡酒。

南非酿酒已有约 365 年的历史，而且他们非常擅长。近年来，Cap Classique（也称为 MCC）已成长为该国葡萄酒产业的领先部门之一。它是传奇的斯泰伦博斯（Stellenbosch）酿酒师弗兰斯·马兰（Frans Malan）在 1968 年访问法国香槟区并引入香槟法后被引入南非的。香槟法是通过触发二次发酵来创造起泡酒——将二氧化碳气体封在每个瓶中以产生天然气泡——并将酒在废弃的酵母细胞上陈酿，以创造浓郁且复杂的风味。第一款 Cap Classique 于 1973 年发布。如今，有超过 250 家南非生产商在打造这种绝妙的起泡酒。最初基于白舍南（chenin blanc），如今大多数 Cap Classique 使用霞多丽（chardonnay）、黑皮诺（pinot noir）以及在某些混酿中使用牟尼耶皮诺（pinot meunier）酿造。

葡萄酒的范围从在酒泥上陈酿 12 个月的酒款，到陈放 60 个月或更长时间的浓郁复杂酒款不等。

如今每年生产一千万瓶。周二标志着南半球春天的开始，也是 Cap Classique 日——那么为什么不举杯庆祝一下呢？

六款绝对经典

2 Journey's End Cap Classique NV (£17.50, 12%)

这款来自斯泰伦博斯的迷人稻草色起泡酒在酒泥上陈酿了至少 18 个月，营造出浓郁复杂的特质，口感带有奶油般的热带水果风味，并伴有布里欧修面包、烤面包和燧石的基调，包裹在充满气泡的酸爽收尾中。可购于 Tanners。

4 Van Loveren Christina Cap Classique Brut NV (£17.60, 11.5%)

（£19.95起，12）又一款来自西开普省的新鲜且充满活力的起泡酒。这款100%霞多丽在杯中呈淡黄色，但在口感上酸度十足。带有苹果、梨、柑橘、青柠和烤面包的香气。可购自 The Savannah、WineDirect.co.uk 和 Frontier Fine Wines。

矿区损坏导致家庭失去家园 97栋房屋将被拆除

作者：露辛达·卡梅伦 (LUCINDA CAMERON)

由于持续的地表移动，一个前矿业村庄两条街道上的房屋将被拆除。

在多条街道发现该问题后，5月有97户居民被紧急疏散。

经过调查，矿业修复局（Mining Remediation Authority）确认，此次地表移动是由历史上的采矿活动引起的。

目前，矿业修复局发现，在克拉克曼南郡（Clackmannanshire）科尔斯诺顿（Coalsnaughton）的 Benbuck View 和 Dunmoss View 街道上，存在“超出修复能力的损坏和风险严重程度”。

在完成地面稳定工作后，村庄中受影响较轻的部分将进行维修。

剧痛

政府表示将为应对该问题支付费用。

克拉克曼南郡和邓布莱恩的苏格兰议会议员基思·布朗（Keith Brown）在 BBC Radio Scotland 的《早餐》节目中表示：“在受影响的四条街道中，中间的两条将不得不被完全拆除。”

“顶部和底部还需要进行其他工程，但中间的两条街道必须拆除。”

“据我所知，有一位女性在过去一年内才搬到那里。”

“这些房屋拥有俯瞰山谷面向

Ochil Hills 的绝佳景观。可以说，这里曾是她的‘永久之家’，她刚刚给花园做了遮阳，装修了厨房等等，现在却不得不搬走。”

“另一位先生在花园里为亡妻设立了纪念碑。因此，这对这些个人来说是一个巨大的打击，虽然这可能在预料之中，但对他们来说将是毁灭性的。”

由于地表移动，村庄内的道路、小径以及花园和房产上都出现了裂缝。

矿业修复局的卡尔·班顿（Carl Banton）昨天表示：“我们知道这对居民及其家人来说是非常沉重的消息。我们并非轻率地得出这一结论，但这反映了损坏程度、使地面安全所需的工作量，以及为人们提供一条清晰、安全且切实可行地前进道路的重要性。”

班顿先生补充说，村庄中受影响的家庭仍将获得专项支持。

抢占先机……“毛茸茸土豆”丛林犬幼崽现身

作者：WILL MILLAR

五只罕见的丛林犬幼崽已走出洞穴，在切斯特动物园（Chester Zoo）迎来了人们期待已久的首次公开亮相。

这些一个月大的犬类从它们的地下家中小心翼翼地迈出了探索外界的第一步，开始观察周围的环境。

它们是今年英国境内唯一一窝出生的丛林犬，

在经历了 65 天的妊娠期后，由四岁的母亲莫莉（Molly）迎接它们来到世界。

每只幼崽出生时的体重在 120 克至 150 克之间——大约相当于一罐沙丁鱼的重量。

饲养员最初让莫莉和她的新家庭在洞穴中不受干扰地生活，直到现在才第一次瞥见这些新生儿。

这些拥有蹼足的幼崽在它们年长兄姐的帮助下开始活动。

切斯特动物园的食肉动物饲养员理查德·泰森（Richard Tyson）表示：“在这个阶段，它们就像一个个毛茸茸的小土豆。它们会蹒跚行走一小会儿，但大部分时间都挤成一团。”

“很快它们就会开始吃固体食物，在接下来的几周里，我们将开始给它们提供少量的鸡肉或兔肉尝试。”

“年长的兄姐喜欢挪动这些小幼崽，但由于它们的腿相当短，无法将幼崽完全抬离地面。”

“它们会被撞来撞去，然后你会听到很多吱吱声。这时莫莉就会走过来训斥它们。父亲查理（Charlie）也一直很保护它们。”

“这一切都很正常。这个家庭相处得很好，幼崽们看起来很健康。”

丛林犬是一种小型、野生且罕见的犬类，原产于中美洲和南美洲的部分地区。

酒吧员工决定出售海滨豪宅奖品

Omaze 获奖者准备卖房

一名赢得了价值 £350 万 的绝美海滨豪宅的酒吧员工已将其挂牌出售——而他拿到钥匙仅过了几周。

Darren Summers, 50, 当时正在繁忙的班次中斟啤酒，这时 Omaze 奖品团队出现并告知他赢得了一栋壮丽的悬崖顶住宅。

退休

他当时表示，计划在位于康沃尔郡道恩德里海滩（Downderry Beach, Cornwall）的这栋豪华房产中享受一个“烧烤之夏”。但仅仅两个月后，他现在已将该房产投入市场。

达伦表示：“我们在房子里度过了人生中最不可思议的一个夏天，与亲友共同创造了我们将永远珍惜的美好回忆。Omaze 赠送的房子是没有抵押贷款的。我们知道自己可以根据意愿一直住下去。但我们决定卖掉它并将资金存入银行，因为这次出售带来的资金对我们来说真正改变了人生。”

作者：TOM BEVAN

达伦在南威尔士的隆达法尔（Rhondda Fawr）管理一家酒吧，而他的妻子丽贝卡（Rebecca）在英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）工作。

他补充道：“我们都打算提前退休，这是世界上最棒的感觉——拥有时间和金钱去享受生活，是想象中最伟大的礼物。”

为什么畜牧业是一场全球性灾难

1950年，在我一岁时，世界人口约为25亿。如今，这一数字已超过85亿。随着热浪、干旱、山火和洪水的日益严重，人们对粮食安全和地球未来的担忧达到了前所未有的高度。然而，很少有人意识到，畜牧业正是当今许多环境危机的核心所在。

畜牧业占据了约87%的粮食生产用地，但仅提供了全球18%的热量。它是亚马逊雨林砍伐的主要原因，其中牛牧场约占当前森林损失的80%。每毁掉一公顷土地，都会削弱地球上最大的碳汇之一以及最丰富的生物多样性储备库之一。

畜牧业也是极度耗水的行业。农业约占全球淡水使用量的70%，而农场动物消耗了其中不成比例的高份额。生产一吨牛肉大约需要15,400立方米的水，其中大部分仅用于种植饲料作物，而这些作物本可以直接养活人类。

该行业也是水污染的主要来源。粪便和化肥的流失使河流和沿海水域的氮和磷过载，从而创造出海洋生物无法生存的缺氧“死亡区”。目前全球已发现400多个此类死亡区。

对野生动物的影响同样深远。森林、草原和湿地继续消失，以给放牧和饲料作物让路，而庞大的单一种植区取代了复杂的生态系统。随着农场动物数量的增加，野生动物种群崩溃，导致地球上仅有极小部分的哺乳动物生活在野外。

工业化养殖还威胁到人类健康。在农场动物生产中常规使用抗生素导致了抗生素耐药性，这与2019年全球超过100万例死亡相关。污染物和毒素还会通过食物链在动物产品中累积。

根据赛莱什·劳（Sailesh Rao）博士的研究，如果将用于农场动物的土地所损失的碳存储能力计算在内，畜牧业将成为气候变化的主导驱动因素。他的系统分析得出结论：如果我们想要解决全球变暖、生物多样性丧失、森林砍伐、水资源短缺以及人类目前面临的许多环境临界点，那么改变我们的食物系统至关重要。

绝大多数被饲养的动物一生都生活在工厂化农场中。仅在美国，几乎所有的鸡、猪和火鸡，以及所有的养殖鱼类和大多数产蛋母鸡，都是在密集禁闭系统中饲养的。在全球范围内，约75%的养殖动物处于工厂化养殖状态。

统计数据看起来可能令人不堪重负，但每一个数字都代表一个能够感受到痛苦的个体生命。

如果我们认真对待保护气候、恢复自然和保障未来，我们也必须认真对待改变我们的饮食。向植物基食物系统的转型，为减少环境破坏并使数十亿动物免于不必要的痛苦生活提供了最大的机遇之一。

缅怀生命

时尚之星与演技变色龙

传奇演员蒂姆·卡里（Tim Curry）在洛杉矶家中安详离世，享年 80 岁，其经纪人已确认此消息。他凭借多变的才华、浑厚的嗓音和张扬的古怪风格，在五十多年的时间里点亮了舞台与银幕。

他的长期经理兼好友马西亚·赫维茨（Marcia Hurwitz）确认了卡里的去世，这标志着一段真正卓越且深受敬仰的演艺生涯的终结，这段生涯激励了全球一代又一代的粉丝。

蒂莫西·詹姆斯·卡里（Timothy James Curry）出生于切希尔郡的格拉彭霍尔（Grappenhall），父亲是皇家海军牧师，母亲是学校秘书。他很快对表演产生了浓厚的兴趣。在伯明翰大学学习戏剧和英语之前，他曾在教堂担任童声高音歌手。

他的职业生涯始于伦敦西区，出演了 1968 年的摇滚音乐剧《Hair》，在那里他首次展现了极具吸引力的舞台掌控力。

但他最终定义职业生涯的角色出现在 1973 年，在理查德·奥布莱恩（Richard O'Brien）的舞台剧《摇滚恐怖秀》（The Rocky Horror Show）中饰演神秘且性别模糊的科学家弗兰克-N-弗特博士（Dr. Frank-N-Furter）。卡里在

蒂姆·卡里 演员 出生：1946年4月19日 - 逝世：2026年8月25日，享年 80 岁

1975 年的电影改编版中再次精彩地演绎了这个标志性角色。尽管最初反响平平，但这部电影后来成为了电影史上最持久的午夜邪典经典，巩固了这位演员作为流行文化偶像的地位。

卡里因其惊人的多面性而受到同行和评论家的共同赞赏，他经常精通于演绎刻薄、华丽且反派的角色。令人难忘的电影高光时刻包括音乐剧《安妮》（Annie）中操纵人心的人员鲁斯特·汉尼根（Rooster Hannigan）、喜剧片《线索》（Clue）中狂躁的管家沃兹沃斯（Wadsworth），以及他在 1990 年改编自斯蒂芬·金小说《它》（It）的迷你剧集中对小丑潘尼怀斯（Pennywise）令人恐惧的塑造。

他的变色龙式演技还体现在里德利·斯科特（Ridley Scott）的《传奇》（Legend）中饰演的黑暗之王（Darkness），以及《马戏团宝岛》（Muppet Treasure Island）中的长约翰·西尔弗（Long John Silver），这些角色都需要经过五个多小时的浓重化妆。

在百老汇，卡里同样强大且备受推崇。

《每日快报》讣告，每周六刊登

庆祝舞台与银幕之星蒂姆·卡里深受无数粉丝喜爱

他一生获得了三次享有盛誉的托尼奖提名，包括在《莫扎特》（Amadeus）、音乐剧《我最喜爱的一年》（My Favorite Year）以及蒙提·派森的《斯帕马洛特》（Spamalot）中饰演亚瑟王等备受赞誉的角色。

在 2012 年遭遇一次严重中风并导致必须永久使用轮椅后，卡里展现了巨大的韧性。他继续广泛从事配音工作，在展会上与全球粉丝热情互动，并于 2025 年底出版了备受期待的回忆录《流浪者》（Vagabond）。

卡里从未结婚也没有孩子，但他作为一名突破边界的艺术家的遗产，将长久地留在数百万仰慕者的记忆中。

多产天才的迅速崛起

埃迪·理查森 (Eddie Richardson)

黑帮成员 出生于 1936年1月29日 - 逝世于 2026年8月14日，享年 90岁

埃迪·理查森是查理的弟弟。他们曾是南伦敦臭名昭著的黑帮分子，在 20 世纪 60 年代与克雷双胞胎展开了激烈的地盘争夺战，令整个首都陷入恐怖之中。

理查森帮成员包括乔治·康奈尔，后者在“盲乞丐”酒吧被罗尼·克雷枪杀。在臭名昭著的 1967年“酷刑审判”中，理查森兄弟被裁定犯有欺诈、敲诈和袭击罪。

他们利用废金属生意作为掩护，建立了一个庞大的犯罪帝国。埃迪在监狱中度过了 23年，在 1990年的一起毒品走私指控后，他的服刑时间进一步增加。

在第二次入狱期间，他发现了自己在绘画方面的天赋，后来成为一名艺术家。这位离异且育有两个女儿的父亲在布罗姆利的一家医院因肺炎去世，享年 90岁。

海登·帕内蒂尔 (Hayden Panettiere) 是一个不折不扣的童星，她在 11个月大时就出演了人生第一个电视广告，到 4岁时，她已经出演了 50多部商业广告。

但这位美丽的美国女演员经常谈到早年成名的危险。

在大多数孩子才刚刚开始全日制教育的年纪，她已经开始了全职的演艺生涯。

这一切始于 1994年，当时她在 ABC 肥皂剧《一生一次》(One Life To Live) 中饰演莎拉·罗伯茨，后来在 CBS 肥皂剧《指路明灯》(Guiding Light) 中饰演利齐·斯波尔丁。她在 9岁时获得了青年艺术家奖提名，后来因在皮克斯电影《虫虫危机》(A Bug's Life, 1998) 中饰演点公主而获得格莱美奖提名。

但她最著名的角色是在超级英雄电视剧《英雄》(Heroes) 和乡村音乐传奇剧《纳什维尔》(Nashville) 中的表现。她在《纳什维尔》中的表演为她赢得了两次金球奖提名，使她迅速成为全球巨星。在《英雄》中，她饰演德克萨斯州的高中啦啦队长克莱尔·贝内特，

出生于 1989年8月21日 – 逝世于 2026年8月16日，享年 36岁

《英雄》标志性人物海登·帕内蒂尔

她是这部漫画风格热门剧集中几位拥有超能力普通人之一。

她还在砍杀类恐怖电影系列《惊声尖叫》(Scream) 中饰演柯比·里德。

她出生于纽约帕利塞兹，父亲是消防局局长，母亲曾是一名肥皂剧演员。她后来透露，在年仅 15岁时，她就被要求服用“快乐药”，以便在采访中显得“精力充沛”。

“事情逐渐失控。随着年龄增长，药物和酒精成了我几乎无法生存的东西，”她承认道。

2009年，帕内蒂尔与当时的重量级拳击世界冠军弗拉基米尔·克利奇科开始交往，并于 2014年产下女儿卡雅。

这对情侣分分合合的关系最终导致她在与抑郁症和成瘾症作斗争期间，将卡雅的全部监护权交给了克利奇科。不幸的是，帕内蒂尔的哥哥詹森于 2023年因心脏病去世，享年 28岁。

在她 36岁去世时，她已在演艺圈奋斗了三十年。帕内蒂尔在南卡罗来纳州格林维尔的一套公寓中被发现失去意识。官方死因仍在调查中，她的父母和女儿在世。

霍拉姆勋爵 (Lord Horam) 政治人物 出生于 1939年3月7日 - 逝世于 2026年7月24日，享年 87岁

丹尼斯·斯金纳称他为“肮脏的双重叛徒”，但很多政治人物都曾更换党派。然而，像约翰·霍拉姆这样频繁更换的人并不多，他在政治生涯中从劳工党转到社会民主党，再转到保守党，并曾为其中两个政党担任部长。

在 20 世纪 70 年代，他在詹姆斯·卡拉汉领导的劳工党政府中担任交通部议会次官。随后他在 80 年代转投社会民主党 (SDP)，之后又投奔保守党。他后来作为奥平顿的国会议员重返议会，在 90 年代担任公共服务与科学部初级部长，随后转任卫生部。

他出生于普雷斯顿，母亲凯瑟琳经营一家服装店和报刊亭，父亲悉尼是英国利兰公司的装配工。霍拉姆曾是西尔科茨学校的学生会长。

终身贵族霍拉姆男爵

在剑桥大学学习经济学之前，他曾在韦克菲尔德生活。随后，他加入了约克罗温特里公司（Rowntree's）的营销部门，并在 1960 年代参与开发了 After Eight 薄荷巧克力。

后来，他在创办商品研究单位（Commodities Research Unit）之前，曾在《金融时报》和《经济学人》担任记者。

他在 1970 年大选中当选为盖茨黑德西区的劳工党国会议员。霍拉姆是 1981 年首批离开劳工党加入社会民主党（SDP）的人员之一，并在 1987 年大选前不久加入了保守党。

退休后，他于 2013 年被封为终身贵族，封号为霍拉姆男爵。

霍拉姆在从上议院回家途中摔倒，此后一直未能恢复意识——他在帕丁顿的圣玛丽医院去世。

他留下了第二任妻子朱迪思·杰克逊，以及她前一段婚姻中的两个继子：弗雷泽和林肯·乔普，后者在 2024 年担任斯佩尔索恩选区的保守党国会议员。

拾荒者：109岁且精心误导

将芦笋、小熊维尼和“拾荒者”专栏联系在一起的是什么？提示：答案由三个字母和一个数字组成，但顺序不完全如此。

答案将在本文末尾揭晓，但在继续之前，我有一件事要坦白。

在这个专栏中，我偶尔无法抑制自己的想象力，会加入一些可能并非完全真实的天马行空之词。每当这种情况发生时，纯粹是为了让内容对读者更具吸引力。然而，你即将阅读的内容，无论看起来多么不可思议，都是绝对真实的，而且甚至比“拾荒者”专栏本身还要古老。

正如我每周提醒你们的那样，这个专栏已有109年历史，始于1917年，由多位作者撰写，但在两年后交给J.B. 莫顿（J.B. Morton）后才形成了其真正的特质。

他立即确立了自己作为博学与超现实幽默大师的地位，并在接下来的50年里继续撰写该专栏。

我早就知道，在第一次世界大战期间，莫顿是MI7b的成员。这听起来可能足够超现实，但实际上它是军事情报局负责虚假信息和宣传的分支机构。

遗憾的是，与MI7b相关的记录被命令在1919年销毁，但偶尔会出现一些回忆录和日记，包括2013年披露的一份文件，显示小熊维尼及其百亩森林朋友们的创造者A.A. 米尔恩（A.A. Milne）也是其中一名成员。

想到莫顿和米尔恩之间那些充满误导性的精彩对话就让我着迷，而当我最近发现一份MI7b全部20名成员的名单时，我的推测变得更加强烈。

这份名单的最底部是爱德华·赫伦-艾伦（Edward Heron-Allen），我长期以来一直将他视为真正的英国古怪天才。1884年，赫伦-艾伦写了一本关于小提琴制作的权威著作，该书在之后一个多世纪里一直发行。

他是奥斯卡·王尔德（Oscar Wilde）受尊敬的朋友，研究过波斯口语，同时也是单细胞生物、芦笋种植和手相学的权威，并且总是穿着黑色衣服。他甚至得到了巴登-鲍威尔勋爵（Lord Baden-Powell）本人的批准，定制了一套黑色的童军制服。或许对于一名童军来说很不寻常，他还写了一部色情小说《猎豹女孩》（The Cheetah Girl），该书被列入了梵蒂冈的禁书名单。

正如英国在第二次世界大战期间招募最优秀的棋手前往布莱切利园（Bletchley Park）破解德国密码一样，在第一次世界大战中，我们招募作家来制作和传播宣传资料。正如布莱切利园后来发展成为政府通信总部（GCHQ）一样，“拾荒者”、芦笋和小熊维尼都起源于第一次世界大战期间的MI7b。

五字母挑战 (PENTALETTA)

你能找到29个或更多仅由左侧显示的五个字母组成的单词吗？每个单词必须包含中心字母（在本例中为B），且必须包含至少四个字母，但每个字母在单词中出现的次数没有限制。你的名单中应包含一个可以是宗教相关的八字母单词。

上周答案：eels, ells, else, lees, less, lessee, lessees, lull, lulls, lulu, lulus, lupus, peel, peels, plus, pluses, plusses, pules, pull, pulls, pulp, pulps, pulse, pulses, seel, seels, sell, sells, sleep, sleeps, slue, slues, spell, spells, supple, useless.

鲁珀特与愤怒的大海 第 32 集

“它们到处都是！”汉弗莱爵士眨了眨眼。萨姆从金克斯那里接过那个奇怪的包裹。

现在鲁珀特明白了杰姆独自离开时在做什么。他一定花了一整个下午在布置这场伏击！汉弗莱爵士环顾四周，然后放下了他的手杖。萨姆一言不发地从金克斯手中接过包裹，轻轻地将其放下，并解开了固定毯子的皮带。随着毯子被展开，除了那两个淘气鬼，所有人都发出了巨大的惊叹声。“谁能相信这个！”萨姆惊叹道。“一个美人鱼男孩！”鲁珀特喊道。

他不敢相信自己的眼睛！“一个小美人鱼男孩！”鲁珀特喊道。

字母击破者 (THE ALPHABEATER)

你能破解“字母击破者”吗？这是我们广受欢迎的“字母谜题” (Alphapuzzle) 的升级难度版，旨在将你的脑力挑战到极限。下方网格中的每个数字代表一个字母或一个黑色方格。与“字母谜题”一样，字母表中的每个字母都会被用到。但现在你还必须完成网格的填充！请使用主网格下方给出的字母和黑色方格开始。

为了增加挑战的乐趣，“字母击破者”具有“旋转对称性”。换句话说，如果你将页面倒过来，网格依然相同。例如，如果左上角开始有一个六个字母的横向单词，那么在右下角方格结束的位置必然有一个对应的六个字母横向单词。每个黑色方格都有一个对称的“双胞胎”，但这个“双胞胎”并不总是共享同一个数字。这有助于识别其他黑色方格。当然，如果中心方格是黑色的，它就没有对应的“双胞胎”。答案将于下周六公布。

旅行 版面编辑：朱莉·德拉海耶 (JULIE DELAHAYE) 准备摇滚

高端生活 屋顶惊险

马德里硬石餐厅 (Hard Rock Cafe) 以其狂野的装饰和热情的欢迎，成为了汤姆·卡庞 (TOM CAPON) 的心头好

有些人热爱音乐（比如人类、鸟类），而有些人则痴迷音乐（比如 Radiohead 的粉丝）。我一直认为硬石酒店 (Hard Rock Hotel) 专门服务于后者，直到今年夏天我前往其马德里分店旅行。

酒店坐落在阿托查 (Atocha) 社区，距离同名的火车站仅几分钟路程，距离机场也仅 20 分钟车程。

这使其成为探索这座城市的绝佳地点——当然，前提是你已经逛完了酒店内部。

氛围

这家酒店的空调简直是顶级的——这是我走进大堂时注意到的第一件事。

几秒钟后，我的目光被大堂里的文物博物馆吸引了。入口的一侧矗立着一座精美的《 meninas》雕塑，上面覆盖着西班牙流行歌星罗莎莉亚 (Rosalía) 的歌词；另一侧则有一头巨大的公牛在迎接宾客。

大堂里除了艺术品，还充斥着各种音乐文物，包括来自著名摇滚明星的吉他和照片，并为那些不太了解情况的人提供了简短的说明。

在到处摆满这么多东西的同时还不显得俗气是很困难的，虽然这里确实在边缘徘徊，但它给人的感觉更多是令人兴奋而非过分夸张。

我非常喜欢的一个细节是，所有员工的姓名牌上都写着他们最喜欢的艺术家。在办理入住时，我与一名员工就麦当娜 (Madonna) 的新专辑进行了一次愉快的交谈——毕竟当时正值骄傲月，而《Confessions II》是这个夏天的热门专辑。另一件

房间

让我印象深刻的是这里所有员工是多么友好且乐于助人。这是我最喜欢酒店的部分：即使我询问如何前往某个地方，或者需要将牙膏送到房间，我也从未觉得自己成了负担。

我住在俯瞰大堂的双人间。床铺简直像梦一样舒适——我当时每天的 Garmin 步数超过 30,000 步（懂的人自然懂），将头枕在一朵云上，将身体靠在另一朵更大的云上，真的帮我恢复了体力。

尽管个别房间里传出音乐声，且周六下午还有一场骄傲派对，但我感觉最多只有轻微的低语和震动。

房间不算大，这与市中心酒店相似，对于入住时间较长且携带大行李箱的人来说可能会是个问题。但这一点被一些精心的

• 被一些精心的细节所弥补——回音壁让准备出门的过程变成了一种绝对的享受，

如果你没有自己的播放列表，他们会为你提供一个。

在 40 摄氏度的高温下行走之后，热带雨林淋浴简直是刚需，而最完美的点睛之笔是什么？环形补光镜——当然，我拍了一组照片。

便利设施

酒店的大堂区域设有餐厅和酒吧，此外还有一个顶楼酒吧以及一个配有酒吧和餐饮服务的泳池。我在周五晚上在 Sessions 餐厅用餐。

这里绝对的加分项是极其丰富的菜单，这意味着即使是最挑剔的食客也能找到心仪之选，从西班牙勇敢者土豆 (patatas bravas) 到炸克罗凯 (croquettes)，再到洋葱圈和排骨，应有尽有。

马德里骄傲庆典 照亮前路 多彩欢迎

泳池非常适合跳进去消暑，但规模不算最大。泳池区域真正的亮点是可预约的卡巴纳 (cabanas) 凉亭，这里是放松身心、阅读书籍以及祈祷宿醉不会要了你命的理想之所。

我想说这里的水准相当标准——如果你在 Hard Rock Cafe 吃过饭，那么这里的食物你也就见过了。

我极力推荐在日落时分前往顶楼酒吧。整座城市被黄金时段的光芒点亮。在马德里向我展现其美貌之时，啜饮一杯绝美的鸡尾酒，这将是我永生难忘的经历。

地理位置

地理位置是绝对的亮点，索菲亚王后国家艺术中心博物馆 (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia)、普拉多国家博物馆 (Museo Nacional del Prado) 以及提森-博内米萨国家博物馆 (Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza) 均在步行范围内。

酒店还位于巨大的丽池公园 (El Retiro Park) 边缘，公园内部景观丰富（包括一个植物园），需要花费好几天时间才能探索完毕。

没有吃过西班牙吉事果 (churros) 的西班牙之旅是不完整的——在距离酒店半小时步行路程的著名圣吉内斯巧克力店 (Chocolatería San Ginés) 就能买到最顶级的吉事果。这家店隐藏在一条小巷中，自 1894 年起就开始供应酥脆的吉事果。

是否值得一游？

很难不推荐 Hard Rock 酒店。不仅因为其地理位置是全市最佳之一，而且入住体验也非常令人兴奋。

再加上可以让人深陷其中的舒适床铺，那些微小的问题在它强有力的“摇滚律动”面前显得微不足道。

如何避开场内最糟糕的座位

作者：艾米·琼斯 (AMY JONES)

如果你是一个精明的旅行者，在起飞前 24 小时可以进行在线办理登机手续，并修改随机分配给你的座位，这样你或许能免费锁定心仪的座位。

与此同时，其他人则不愿冒险，而选择在飞行前几天支付额外费用预订座位，尤其是那些渴望获得更多腿部空间的乘客。

我们都有自己偏好的座位，以及那些我们全心想要避开的座位，其中间座位通常是一个竞争者。然而，事实证明在下次飞行中，还有其他一些座位我们也应该尽量避开，

而且这样做有非常充分的理由。

Teletext Holidays 的旅行专家里基·杜兰斯 (Ricky Durrance) 透露，应避免预订最后一排座位。他说：“这些座位通常只能有限度地后倾或完全不能后倾，且最靠近洗手间和机舱厨房，由于人流量较大，噪音也可能更响。”

此外，对于那些飞行时容易紧张的人来说，预订靠近飞机尾部的座位也不是一个好选择。里基表示：“在遇到湍流时，飞机的最尾部是你感受到波动最明显的地方。而且你下飞机的等待时间也可能更长。”

对于今年夏天前往欧洲旅行的人来说，这一点可能特别有用。据报道，边境管制处的排队时间更长，因此尽快下飞机可能有助于缩短在机场的等待时间。

他还建议不要预订紧挨着洗手间的座位，因为“这是飞机上最繁忙的部分，你可能会受到干扰”。但这并不是这位旅行专家建议避开的唯一座位。他说：“隔板排：这些座位通常提供额外的腿部空间，但它们的扶手是固定的，并不总是那么舒适。”

他解释道：“而且在起飞和降落时，手提行李通常必须存放在头顶行李架中。”

里基甚至建议，预订提供更多腿部空间的紧急出口排座位并不总是一个好主意。他说：“腿部空间是一个巨大的吸引力，但这些座位不适合任何行动不便的人。”

关于选择飞机座位，他补充道：“并没有一个普适意义上的‘糟糕’座位，但根据你重视的需求不同，有些座位会让你觉得没那么舒适。”

对于那些飞行紧张的人，里基分享了一个能切实改善飞行体验的实用建议。他解释说：“物理学决定了机翼座位是紧张飞行者的最佳选择，因为机翼大致位于飞机的重心位置，因此你感受到的湍流‘跷跷板效应’较小。”

里基补充道：“而且走道座位意味着你不会感到那么被禁锢。不过，就像晕车一样，坐在窗边有时会有所帮助，因为看到地平线能反映出你身体的感受。”如果你是一个

尤其是非常紧张的飞行者，预订一个能看到乘务员折叠席（jump seat）的座位也值得尝试。

“显然，他们在飞行过程中无法为你提供持续的安抚，但仅仅知道自己靠近受过专业训练的专业人员，就会感觉好一些。”

瑞士海岸的阳光灿烂

艾米莉·斯莱特（EMILY SLEIGHT）表示，日内瓦的夏天与冬天一样迷人。她在那里发现了葡萄园、户外游泳，甚至在缆车上享用了一顿美餐。

我一直认为瑞士是一个迷人的冬季目的地，这可能是因为其典型的雪景美学和温馨的食物（想想大量的奶酪）。

别误会，在山中滑雪度假听起来很棒，但如果你看过《布里奇特·琼斯的日记：理智的边缘》，那正是我想象中我的经历会如何演变。

因此，我决定抛弃冬装和圣诞市场，在温暖的月份尝试一次瑞士之行——我对这个决定非常满意。

那里绝美的风景一直有着某种吸引力，而这种美景结合酷热的浪潮，让我的夏季之旅变得难以忘怀。

“我最喜欢的是令人欲罢不能的夏斯拉（Chasselas）瑞士白葡萄酒”

我选择了日内瓦市，这里毗邻在阳光下闪闪发光的金色葡萄园，以及被山峦环绕的清澈蓝色湖泊。

我经过一段漫长但风景优美的火车旅程从苏黎世机场抵达（在我出发的日期，我无法从曼彻斯特乘坐直飞航班）。

我以前在夏天访问过拥挤的欧洲城市，坦白说，那种疯狂的节奏会让我有点反感。

在威尼斯，我必须在成群的游客中穿梭才能买到一支冰淇淋，所以我很喜欢日内瓦没有那么拥挤，街道感觉有趣且充满活力，而不会让人感到过于幽闭。

这座城市融合了高档钟表店、设计师品牌，以及老城中带有圣皮埃尔大教堂和可爱咖啡馆的古老鹅卵石街道。

快捷旅行 日内瓦湖 与大喷泉

游泳时间

大喷泉（Jet d'Eau）——一个从日内瓦湖中向空中喷射 140 米的巨型水喷泉——是一个核心地标，当你穿过桥进入老城时可以清晰地看到它。

湖边还有很多可以享受的游泳地点，包括 Eaux-Vives 海滩、Pâquis 浴场和日内瓦海滩（Genève-Plage）。

在夏季，进入最受欢迎的游泳地 Pâquis 浴场需要付费，成年人（16 岁及以上）为 2 瑞士法郎——略低于 £2 ——儿童则为半价。六岁以下儿童免费游泳。

我走过了 Pâquis 浴场，前往一个被草地和鹅卵石墙环绕的更安静的区域游了会儿泳。

水温暖得令人惊讶，但真正让这次体验升华的是瑞士山脉的背景。

一款令我难忘的葡萄酒

忘掉在雪坡上疾驰吧，因为在日内瓦市，有许多夏季活动可以享受。

如果你是葡萄酒爱好者，Welo Swiss 的突突车之旅是一个热门选择，它能让你在短短 20 分钟内飞速抵达周边的葡萄园。

令我惊讶的是，这座城市如此迅速地转变为了像法国南部一样的感觉。当我啜饮着冰镇葡萄酒，被高耸的向日葵田环绕时，我简直不敢相信自己曾经只将瑞士与冬季联系在一起。

位于佩西（Peissy）村的 Domaine Les Perrieres 酒庄就像是回到了过去，其美味的葡萄酒被储藏在一座 18 世纪的农舍中。我最喜欢的是 Chasselas 瑞士白葡萄酒，它以青苹果、梨、白桃和柑橘皮的香调而闻名，而且说得最保守一点，其口感非常令人上瘾。

作为一个葡萄酒新手，我稍微有点担心葡萄园之旅可能会有些矫揉造作，但事实远非如此。

这是一家由家族经营至第八代的酒庄，我受到了热情的欢迎，而且很明显，团队对他们生产的产品感到非常自豪——事实也确实如此，因为那些酒绝对美味。

在感到轻微的酒意后，是时候在 Cafe de Peney 吃顿午餐了。

宁静的乡村背景让这次午餐变得格外特别，我几乎是狼吞虎咽地吃掉了一份布拉塔奶酪，搭配着我尝过的最新鲜的番茄。当然，在郁郁葱葱的绿植和温暖的瑞士阳光环绕下，这一切都配以另一杯葡萄酒。

巧克力

瑞士以其巧克力而闻名，林特（Lindt）和多拓力（Toblerone）等著名品牌享誉全球。我在逗留期间大量使用了瑞士游客“巧克力通行证”（Choco Pass），这本质上是一个 QR 码，在你进入第一家巧克力店（那里有很多家）时即可激活。

我去了大约四家不同的巧克力店，在那里我了解了每个品牌的简短历史，并获得了一小袋可爱的巧克力试吃。每颗巧克力都各不相同，有些美到让人不忍心食用。

La Bonbonniere 提供巧克力工作坊，在那里你可以学习关于传统瑞士巧克力制作的所有知识，然后制作并装饰自己的巧克力带回家。

可以肯定地说，我短期内不会转行成为一名巧克力制作师，但这是一种独特且莫名具有疗愈感的体验。

我们的导游耐心且知识丰富，他还给我们喂了大量的巧克力，这让他显得更加亲切。

景观美食

在“美好年代号”（Belle Epoque）上的晚餐巡航再次让我深刻意识到，我之前对这个国家的认知是多么错误。我品尝了一份瑞士马拉克夫沙拉（Swiss malakoff salad）——这是一种将深炸奶酪球与新鲜沙拉及轻盈的油醋汁相结合的料理，同时欣赏着湖泊的瑞士侧与法国侧。

整个巡航过程大约持续了四个小时，得益于顶级的美食和湖泊如画的景色，时间过得飞快。

随着夕阳西下，巡航的感觉变得更加神奇，日内瓦湖映照出金橙色的光芒，城市在夜晚闪烁。

向相反方向再行驶20分钟，你基本上就到了法国，这也是瑞士的另一个迷人之处。

或者，你可以乘坐缆车，在日落时分欣赏日内瓦市和日内瓦湖令人眩目的全景。

这里的 Vertiges 餐厅在缆车站提供全景视野。前菜价格约为 £15-£19，选项包括清爽的西班牙冷汤（gazpacho），主菜则 £20 起。我推荐奶油至尊鸡。

我一直在后悔没有早点访问瑞士。我希望我早知道这里在夏季月份里和冬季一样美丽。事实证明，我不需要像布里奇特·琼斯那样在滑雪坡上出洋相，而可以在阳光下享受这个国家最美好的一面。

坐落在康沃尔海岸的一小片意大利

作者：艾米·琼斯（AMY JONES）

康沃尔郡的波特艾萨克（Port Isaac）被评为英国最佳“替代目的地”（destination dupe），这个美丽的 seaside 村庄拥有足以与意大利阿马尔菲海岸相媲美的景观。

现在，英国人比以往任何时候都更渴望在离家更近的地方度假，机场排队、航班延误、取消以及旅行成本的上升是促成这一转变的主要因素。

值得庆幸的是，英国有许多替代方案，能让你感觉像是飞到了欧洲，而波特艾萨克凭借其如画的风景位列榜首。

Travelodge 的研究发现，44% 的英国人在过去一年中将出国度假改为国内度假，而 94% 的人承认，如果国内目的地能与海外目的地相媲美，他们会考虑在英国境内度假。

因此，波特艾萨克凭借其壮丽的悬崖位置、淡色调的小屋、

闪烁的青绿色海湾、蜿蜒狭窄的小巷和沿海公路，夺得榜首并不令人意外。

这一排名基于 Travelodge 对 10,000 多名英国居民的民意调查，参与者对其意大利风格的特色给予了高度评价。

这是一个充满个性的村庄，拥有古朴狭窄的街道，街道两旁排列着独特的画廊、餐厅和独立商店。

这里还有一个传统的港口及其斜坡道（被称为 The Platt），至今仍是一个繁荣的渔港，船只卸下每日的渔获，供应给当地的餐厅和酒吧，例如 Outlaw's Fish Kitchen 和 The Mote。

电视迷们可能也会认出这个村庄，它是 ITV 热播剧集《马丁医生》（Doc Martin）的拍摄地。

时尚 内维翁河畔 的生活

西班牙最

凭借其悠闲的时尚感、美食氛围和光鲜的设施，更不用说古根海姆博物馆，比尔巴鄂是一个酷炫的未来版本，米洛·博伊德（MILO BOYD）为此进行了探索

人们并不经常在某个地方产生“这就是未来”的想法。在中国令人惊叹的大都市重庆，快餐由无人机配送，单轨铁路连接着摩天大楼；而在首尔，其超——

- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

但在距离英国不到两小时路程的地方，有一个更温和、更宜居且更酷的未来版本。

“这里的一切都运转良好，”一位英国朋友在我乘坐的从盖特威克飞往比尔巴鄂的伏林航空（Vueling）航班落地后不久告诉我，“而且这里的氛围真的很棒。”

他曾在从马拉加出发访问这座巴斯克城市后，立即爱上了这里悠闲的时尚感，随后便搬到了这座拥有 350,000 人口的城市。

和他一样，在抵达之前，我对比尔巴鄂的了解仅限于古根海姆博物馆，我认为这是因为这里缺乏典型的西班牙度假元素。

它位于内尔维翁河沿岸，距离大海五英里，且经常被云雾笼罩，这意味着想要安排海滩之日颇为困难。

免费的饮品配塔帕斯（tapas）在这里并不流行，全包式酒店也没有。但只要你来访，很快就会忘记这些。因为比尔巴鄂在艺术、音乐和美食方面的表现，比我去过的几乎任何城市都要出色。

古根海姆博物馆显然是开始之地的首选。它在河畔巍然屹立，由弗兰克·盖里（Frank Gehry）设计的镀铬瓷砖建筑看起来就像驶入城镇的船只。当它在 1997, 开馆时，古根海姆博物馆极大地加速了比尔巴鄂从一个大西洋港口城镇向西班牙顶级文化胜地的转型。

这座美术馆比我想象的还要出色。在 55 米的中央中庭里，珍妮·霍尔泽（Jenny Holzer）的LED显示屏一直延伸至天花板，陪伴着沿着悬浮楼梯而上的游客。无论是理查德·塞拉（Richard Serra）巨大的生锈迷宫雕塑，杰夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）巨大的花朵小狗，还是安迪·沃霍尔（Andy Warhol）的《150幅彩色玛丽莲》，那里总有能吸引你的东西。

如果由于某种原因你还是没找到感兴趣的，那么这座建筑本身——它拥有在夜晚喷出蒸汽和火焰的弧形走道，位于一座高架桥之下，且处于群山的阴影之中——也将让你感到愉悦。

比尔巴鄂绝非只有一座博物馆的“单才”。巴斯克博物馆坐落在旧城区一座17世纪的前耶稣会学院内，在一个锐利的空间里为该地区的劳动人民和斗争历史发声，庭院中还站立着巨大的玩偶作为哨兵。

海事博物馆则带你前往码头，回顾比尔巴鄂作为钢铁和羊毛贸易中心的崛起。这在城市的未来主义资历中是一个小小的瑕疵——文中未提及比尔巴鄂扮演的[...OMITTED...]角色，而这是一个现在的英国博物馆绝不会遗漏的细节。

空调博物馆为人们提供了避暑之所，沿着河岸散步亦然。凉爽的微风经常从水面上拂过，风从绿色的山丘上滚滚而下。当地人将这个山谷称为 El Botxo（洞），因为这座城市隐藏在山丘之下，免受西班牙烈日的猛烈照射。

而你的双腿则更暴露在环境中。比尔巴鄂极端的丘陵地形让你在爬坡时汗流浃背，并得攀登卡尔萨达斯·德·马约纳（Calzadas de Mallona）的 350 级台阶。室外自动扶梯提供了帮助

“街道洁净无瑕，市中心河流之清澈足以让鱼群栖息”

在桑图楚（Santutxu）的部分地区，高层建筑切入山坡，使其成为欧洲人口最稠密的社区之一。当地人通过骑电动滑板车来应对山地地形，并在众多免费饮水龙头处消暑。

这些公共设施让你感到被照顾。每晚用水冲洗的洁净街道，以及市中心足以让鱼群栖息的清澈河流，亦是如此。

社会主义倾向和资金充足的公共工程已深深植根于毕尔巴鄂。这里曾爆发过埃乌斯卡尔杜纳（Euskalduna）码头罢工，孕育了共产主义传奇人物多洛雷斯·伊巴鲁里（Dolores Ibárruri），并且曾是巴斯克分离主义运动的核心。

毕尔巴鄂的工业时代已成过去，取而代之的是蓬勃发展的服务导向型经济，但其左翼倾向依然存在。

这些倾向体现在涂鸦中，体现在点缀在河岸边的儿童游乐场中，以及几乎免费的公共交通系统中（只需确保在乘坐机场巴士前购买 Barik 卡，以免被宰）。而它近期向真正国际化城市的转型在饮食中显而易见。与巴塞罗那和其他北方城市一样，毕尔巴鄂擅长制作小盘菜，最适合在旧城区（Casco Viejo）的遮阳伞下享用。

与该国许多其他难以找到非西班牙美食的地方不同，你可以在 Demaio 享用欧洲第 17 好的披萨，在 Perro Chico 尝试越南 / 墨西哥融合菜，在 Margarito 享用素食自选盘，在 Molica 尝试厚实的面包，以及更多更多美食。

再配上一杯半升的西班牙拉格啤酒，价格很少超过 €3。

虽然毕尔巴鄂的交通连接不如该国较大的城市那样便捷，但 Vueling 航空提供从希思罗、盖特威克和爱丁堡出发的航班，偶尔有 £14 的机票。根据我的经验，西班牙国家航空公司以经济的价格提供中端服务。与竞争对手相比，它的空间更宽敞，登机过程更顺畅，工作人员也更加热情。

因此，这是前往这座面向未来的城市的便捷之选。

新鲜便当，让校园生活更酷

随着学校假期的临近结束，是时候重新思考打包午餐的习惯了。这些食谱是三明治之外令人欣喜的改变，丰富的口味让零食保持趣味。从便携的鸡肉饭团到煎蛋面包和辣金枪鱼卷，有许多灵感可以开启新学期。

辣金枪鱼卷 准备时间：10 分钟 • 无需烹饪 • 2 人份 • 简单 快速制作一份辣金枪鱼卷，打造一份充满风味的午餐，非常适合打包在工作或学校的便当盒中。如果你想清理冰箱里的剩余食材，加入葱花、酸黄瓜和酸豆也非常合适。

• 145克罐装金枪鱼，沥干 - 70克蛋黄酱 - $\frac{1}{2}$ 个红洋葱，切碎 - 30克墨西哥辣椒，切碎，外加 2汤匙腌汁 - 10克莳萝，切碎 - 90克黄瓜，切成小方块 - 1茶匙 Tabasco 或辣酱 - 2 张大号墨西哥面饼 (tortilla wraps) - 1 棵小宝石生菜，切丝

奶油扁豆蔬菜咖喱

1 制作馅料：将金枪鱼、蛋黄酱、红洋葱、墨西哥辣椒（连同腌汁）、莳萝、黄瓜和 Tabasco 放入一个大碗中。调味并搅拌均匀。馅料冷藏可保存三天。 2 将一半的馅料铺在每张面饼中，上面盖上生菜。用烘焙纸包裹并放入便当盒。放入冰箱或冷藏袋中，直到准备食用。

奶油扁豆蔬菜咖喱 准备时间：10 分钟 • 烹饪时间：30 分钟 • 4 人份 • 简单 在这道适合家庭的咖喱中可以更换不同的蔬菜，或者加入一罐鹰嘴豆以增加口感。孩子们可以用宽口保温瓶将其带到学校。

• 2汤匙菜籽油

• 1 个洋葱，切碎

- 1茶匙孜然粉

• 1汤匙马德拉斯咖喱粉

- 200克红扁豆

• 2 个红薯，去皮并切成方块

- 400克罐装去皮樱桃番茄 - 200克四季豆，去蒂并切成短段

• 4汤匙希腊酸奶，如果喜欢可以在顶部再加一些

- $\frac{1}{2}$ 小把香菜，切碎 - $\frac{1}{4}$ 个黄瓜，切碎（可选） - 搭配馕饼和米饭食用

1 在大锅中加热油，将洋葱炒几分钟直至软化。加入香料烹饪 1 分钟，然后拌入扁豆、红薯、高汤和樱桃番茄。 2 煮沸后，盖上锅盖慢炖 20 分钟，直到扁豆和红薯变软。加入四季豆烹饪 2 分钟，然后拌入酸奶并调味。撒上香菜和切碎的黄瓜（如果使用），搭配馕饼和米饭食用。

鸡肉饭团

鸡肉饭团 (CHICKEN ONIGIRI)

准备时间：45 分钟 • 烹饪时间：15 分钟（另加浸泡时间）• 分量：6 人份 • 难度：简单

尝试这款填入鸡肉、春葱和蛋黄酱馅料的日式饭团。您可以在网上购买饭团模具，让制作过程更加简单。

- 250克 寿司米

• 2汤匙 寿司醋

- 海苔片，用于装饰

- 馅料部分

- 180克 熟鸡胸肉，切成小块

• 1 根春葱，切细丝

• 10克 香菜，切碎

• 100克 蛋黄酱

• 1 满汤匙 脆口辣椒油

- 5克 姜，细磨成末（可选）

1 准备寿司米。将米洗净，直到水变得清澈，然后在清水中浸泡 15 分钟。沥干水分，放入中号炖锅中，加入 350毫升 水和一小撮盐，烧开。随后盖上锅盖，转小火。将米煮 10 分钟。关火但保持锅盖覆盖，静置 15 分钟。

2 米煮好后，拌入寿司醋。将米铺在铺有烘焙纸的盘子上完全冷却。与此同时制作馅料。将所有食材放入大碗中混合，用少许盐和胡椒调味。放入冰箱冷藏，直到准备制作饭团。

3 如果有饭团模具请使用。用湿手将 3-4 汤匙米压入较大的三角形模具中，然后铺上 2-3 满汤匙馅料，再覆盖一层米，最后使用较小的三角形模具将饭团定型。如果没有饭团压模，请用湿手揉成饭团，并使用烘焙纸辅助定型。放入冰箱可保存一天。

4 在每个饭团周围包裹一片海苔，然后冷藏至食用，或装入午餐盒和保温袋中。

到 8 月底，花园开始显现出哪些植物生长良好，哪些生长困难。有些植物仍在强力开花，有些具有实用的种子头或叶片，而另一些则显然已失去活力。现在是以实用眼光巡视花园，决定哪些保留、哪些修剪以及哪些更换的好时机。

保留 保留任何仍能提供结构感、色彩或野生动物价值的植物。

如果大丽花、鼠尾草、彭斯滕蒙（penstemons）、鲁德贝基亚（rudbeckias）、松果菊（echinaceas）和八宝景天（hylotelephiums）健康且水分充足，它们可以将花园的生机延续到 9 月。

在可能开更多花的地方进行摘除残花，但在能增加造型或为鸟类提供食物的地方保留一些后期的种子头。

观赏草值得保留。它们的花序能美妙地捕捉低光，并在花园转向秋季时继续带来律动感。

刺芹（Eryngiums）、葱属植物（alliums）、刺儿菜（teasels）和罂粟种子头也可以保留，尤其是在自然风格的边境花坛中。

修剪

修剪那些已经倒伏、严重霉变或结束得凌乱的植物。

耐寒天竺葵和荆芥通常对修剪反应良好，能长出新鲜的叶片，有时还会迎来另一波花期。清除萱草、玉簪和疲惫的多年生植物上的黄叶，但不要为了整洁而将边境花坛清理得空空如也。如果茎干倒伏在小径上，请将其剪掉或系好。

良好的夏末维护应让花园更易于享受，而不是让它看起来空荡荡的。

在我的 YouTube 频道 @daviddomoney 上，可以通过最新一集的《分步园艺》（Step-by-Step Gardening）了解更多关于此项及其他夏末修剪任务的内容，该节目在 Blue Diamond Garden Centres 的 Bridgemere 展示花园拍摄。

更换

容器植物通常是首先需要更新的地方。如果床花停止开花、变得细长或看起来无法挽救，那么更新堆肥并

GROW THE PLOT THICKENS

是时候做出决定了

与 DAVID DOMONEY 一起

随着秋季临近，您可以评估哪些植物需要保留，哪些需要修剪，以及哪些需要重新种植。三色堇、雏菊、仙客来、矾根、紧凑型观赏草和常绿香草可以营造出更浓的秋意，同时在目前看来依然具有吸引力。

在花境中，请在叶片消失前留意空隙。您可能不需要立即填满所有空隙，但现在是观察哪里需要更强健的季末植物的最佳时机。日本银莲花、紫菀、八宝景天、观赏草和秋季球根植物都能帮助延长景观的观赏期。

判断哪些植物值得保留 如果一株植物能提供不止一次的观赏价值，那么它就值得保留。它可能花开繁茂，能吸引传粉昆虫，提供观赏叶片，保留种子头，或在冬季提供结构感。

如果它仅在两周内好看，随后就变得凌乱，那么它可能需要更好的伴生植物，一个新的位置，或者被更可靠的植物所取代。

在夏季结束时，目标并不是让花园变得一尘不染。而是要进行深思熟虑的删减：保留仍在发挥作用的植物，修剪已枯萎的部分，并更换不再能增加美感的植物。这样，花园在进入秋季时将具有目的性，而不仅仅是渐渐凋零。

TOP 5 园艺任务

现在种植秋水仙球根，以获得季末的色彩。这些秋季开花的球根在种植后能迅速出现，在春季叶片长出之前开出杯状的花朵。选择阳光充足或轻微遮荫、土壤肥沃且排水良好的地点，处理球根时请佩戴手套。

在干燥天气里，用雨水浇灌蔓越莓和红莓，尤其是当它们生长在容器中时。两者都是喜酸植物，因此尽可能避免使用硬水（自来水）。保持基质持续湿润，但不要让花盆浸在积水中。

去除严重感染白粉病的西葫芦叶片，以改善通风并使采收更方便。白粉病在季节后期很常见，

尤其是在温暖干燥的条件下。摘除最严重的叶片，但保留足够的健康叶片以继续为植株提供养分。

检查月桂、黄杨和月桂树是否有介壳虫。寻找茎干和叶片背面像小壳一样的凸起，以及粘稠的蜜露或黑色的煤烟霉。轻微的感染通常可以在进一步扩散前用手擦除。

播种冬马齿苋以获取寒季沙拉叶。它也被称为矿工生菜，耐寒且味道温和，适合冬季采摘。在夏末直接播种或在育苗盘中播种，然后在幼苗建立根系期间保持浇水。

聚焦于蓝雪花 (CARYOPTERIS)

蓝雪花是一种似乎总在花园需要提神时恰好绽放的灌木。其柔和的蓝紫色花朵在夏末初秋出现，在许多早春灌木的花期结束后，为花境带来一份清新。其叶片通常呈灰绿色且带有芳香，即使在花朵开放之前，也能增加植物的观赏趣味。

它在阳光充足的花境、砾石花园和野生动物友好型种植中尤为实用，其花朵能吸引蜜蜂和其他传粉昆虫。蓝雪花 × clandonensis 'Heavenly Blue' 是一个知名品种，拥有亮蓝色的花朵和紧凑的株型。'Dark Knight' 的花朵呈更深的蓝紫色，而 'Hint of Gold' 则提供金绿色的叶片和蓝色花朵。

蓝雪花在全日照且排水良好的土壤中生长最佳。它不喜欢寒冷潮湿的地面，但只要花盆排水良好，在容器中也能生长良好。

在 8 月底，护理重点是在干旱期间保持容器种植植物的水分。现在请避免强剪。

蓝雪花在当季生长的新枝上开花，因此请在春季进行回剪，以促进强壮新茎的生长。趣味知识：蓝雪花常被称为“蓝胡子”，这个名字灵感来自茎周围像绒毛簇一样的蓝色花朵。

您知道吗？

毛地黄的形状巧妙地适应了熊蜂。它们的管状花朵就像一个个小隧道，带有斑点的花喉引导访客寻找花蜜。内部的细毛有助于阻止较小的昆虫，从而有利于能够接触到花粉的大型蜜蜂。

核桃，尤其是黑核桃，因含有胡桃醌（juglone）而闻名，这是一种存在于根、叶和坚果壳中的化感化合物。生长在附近的敏感植物可能会因此变得虚弱、发黄或生长停滞，因此请谨慎选择伴生植物。

紫菀拥有极具诗意的俗名。“星草”（Starwort）反映了它们像星星一样的雏菊状花头，而“告别夏天”（farewell to summer）则契合它们在季末呈现的色彩——在花园开始转向秋季时绽放，为晚飞的昆虫提供支持。

生石花上每个可见的“石头”实际上是一对肿胀的叶子。这些多肉植物扁平的顶部含有半透明的窗窗，在植物伪装成鹅卵石的同时，让光线能够到达内部的光合组织，帮助其在严酷、明亮的环境中生存。

野性之美

从经典的豹纹到大胆的斑马纹，以及极具存在感的虎纹，这些动物印花能瞬间为空间增添特质与个性。

消费者坚韧不拔推动英国商业信心飙升

由于消费者展现出韧性，无视伊朗战争的影响，且关于预算案的猜测被降至最低，商业信心已达到 3 月以来的最高水平。

根据劳埃德商业晴雨表（Lloyds Business Barometer），英国企业的乐观情绪在 8 月上升了 4 个百分点，达到 53%。

这是自中东冲突爆发以来的最高读数，且高于 12 个月的平均值。

对整体经济健康状况的信心也上升至 49%，跳升了 7 个百分点。

在接受调查的负责人中，高达 64% 的人表示对英国的现状感到乐观，而感到悲观的人数则下降至仅 15%。

劳埃德商业部门首席执行官阿曼达·墨菲（Amanda Murphy）表示：

“企业报告称客户需求更强，对整体经济更加乐观，且对自身的贸易前景信心增强。”

“虽然企业继续在充满挑战的环境中运营，但成本压力的缓解以及预计在未来一年内涨价的企业减少，应使他们能够减少对应对不利因素的关注，而更多地关注增长。”

信心的跳升发生在唐纳德·特朗普在伊朗的竞选活动进入第六个月之际。

劳埃德的阿曼达·墨菲寄予希望

霍尔木兹海峡——石油和天然气贸易的重要航道——在整个冲突期间对大多数石化出口产品一直处于关闭状态，这推高了能源价格并扼杀了化肥等其他关键商品的供应。

研究人员将信心水平的提高归功于强劲的客户需求，尽管能源成本高企且存在通胀反弹的紧迫风险，但需求依然维持在较高水平。

周三，监管机构 Ofgem 将 10 月起的能源价格上限提高了 4%，而布伦特原油自年初以来已上涨超过 40%。

价格上涨在精炼石油产品（如柴油和作为航空燃料的煤油）中尤为剧烈——在唐纳德·特朗普对伊朗进行首次打击后，这些产品的成本几乎在一夜之间翻了一番。

根据该晴雨表，公司的贸易前景上升了 2 个百分点，达到 58% 的三个月高点。

与此同时，三分之二的企业预计其产量在未来一年内将有所增加。

冲突推动 GOODWIN 利润增长

美元价值

在乌克兰和伊朗战争导致全球军事支出增加的背景下，国防供应商 Goodwin 的利润增长了一倍多。这家生产雷达设备和潜艇零部件的公司表示，因此将向股东返还更多现金。这家由多家公司组成的斯托克-昂-特伦特（Stoke-on-Trent）集团报告称，截至 4 月的年度贸易利润增长 118%，达到 7750 万英镑m。年度营收增长 27% 至 2.8 亿英镑m，这得益于其机械工程部门在英国和美国海军及潜艇项目的强劲需求下表现出色。Goodwin 表示，其正在继续评估出售部分机械工程业务的可能性。

谷歌将支付 2.6 亿英镑m 以解决应用开发者诉讼案

谷歌（GOOGLE）的母公司 Alphabet 已同意支付 £2.6 亿 以解决一项集体诉讼。

该案件指控这家美国公司对在 Google Play 商店销售应用的开发者征收“不公平且过高”的费用。

该诉讼由竞争法教授巴里·罗杰（Barry Rodger）代表英国应用开发者向竞争上诉法庭（CAT）提起。

诉讼称，谷歌通过对 Android 客户在 Play 商店进行的交易收取过高佣金，滥用了其市场主导地位。据称，双方在为期 10 周的审理开始前达成了和解。

罗杰教授表示：“对于数以千计的英国应用开发者（其中许多是小企业）来说，Play 商店是接触客户的唯一现实途径，他们别无选择，只能支付谷歌的佣金。”

资本利得税创纪录达242亿英镑

在前财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）提高税率后，去年的资本利得税收入达到了创纪录的£242亿英镑。

英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的数据显示，2024-25年度的税收比2023-24年度增长了89%。

资本利得纳税人数增加了181,000人，即增长45%，达到584,000人的历史最高水平。

资本利得税（CGT）是对出售或处置资产（包括企业和房产）所得利润征收的税款。

2024年，劳工党将该年度10月之后处置资产的主税率从10%提高到18%（针对低税率纳税人），从20%提高到24%（针对高税率纳税人）。

在2024-25年度，45%的总收入来自获利在£500万或以上的人群——该群体每年仅占所有资本利得纳税人数的1%以下。

他拥有 NAQ

NAQEEB (3.10) 有机会在古德伍德（Goodwood）的第二组 Virgin Bet Celebration Mile Stakes 赛中展现其赛道专家的实力。

在西萨塞克斯郡（West Sussex）这条赛道上的三次参赛中，他获得了 2025 年 1英里2弗朗隆距离的 Listed Foundation Stakes 冠军以及两次亚军。

Julie Camacho 最初以 170,000 金尼的价格将其买入作为一匹参加 Ebor 赛事的马，但随后团队采取了不同寻常的举措，大幅缩短了 Naqeeb 的参赛距离。

作为多项第一组冠军马 Baaeed 和 Hukum 的半兄弟，我选择这匹兼具速度与耐力的马，他在 49 天前的雅士谷（Ascot）Summer Mile 赛中落后距离并不远。

ITV4 的报道将从 British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes 开始，其中赛道新秀

梅丽莎·琼斯 (MELISSA JONES) 英国顶尖预测师

第六名 MAJESTIC FLAME (1.25) 具有领先的获胜机会。

DARKNESS (2.00) 的评分比去年在 Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Handicap 获胜时低 1 磅，在 Glorious Goodwood 赛中表现令人鼓舞后，预计他将成功卫冕。

HIGH DEGREE (2.35) 拥有不错的战绩，并且在庞特弗拉克特（Pontefract）首次佩戴颊带并产生积极反应后，评分上升了 4 磅，有望在 Virgin Bet A Good Bet Handicap 中取得好成绩。

在 Darley EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes 赛中，评分 78 的 Tropical Sands 为 MARQUETRY (3.45) 设定了基准，后者的母马 Ebony 曾在首秀中获胜。

桑当（Sandown）的赛程以第三组 BetMGM Solario Stakes 和

BREACHER (3.30)，他

BREACHER (3.30) 在索尔兹伯里（Salisbury）展现了出色的冲刺速度并夺冠，被看好将取得重大突破。

CALENDAR GIRL (2.50)

在三周前迟到的赛季首秀中横扫对手后，将参加第三组 Bet MGM Atalanta Stakes。同样在桑当，请信任 Roger Varian 的 KOKBASTAU (2.15) 以及 Gosdens 的 THI QAR (1.40)。

SP 预测赔率：13-8 Lily Pink, 5-2 Majestic Flame, 11-2 Roku Nana, 13-2 Thespian Queen, 15-2 Rhythm Of My Heart, 16 Fastidyah, 33 其他。 2025年：Wetsand 9-4, Sam James 6-4 热门 (James Owen), 抽签 (4), 5匹参赛。 指南：除非血统优良的新手 Roku Nana 在市场上有极强走势，否则选择有经验的马匹可能更稳妥。Majestic Flame 上个月在此地（好-软地）参加了 7 浪赛，给人留下的印象是 1 英里在她的能力范围之内；而 Thespian Queen 在肯普顿（7 浪，合成地）的首次亮相表现出色，她也是另一匹可能在今日增加的距离中脱颖而出的马。然而，LILY PINK 在纽马克特（好-软地）首次亮相参加 1 英里赛时，仅次于一匹更老练的雌马，获得第二名，其经过验证的耐力使她成为最具吸引力的选择。

2025：Darkness 7-8-10, Mark Winn 25-1 (D O'Meara), 抽签 (8), 12匹参赛。指南：FORTY YEARS ON 在其六次起跑中赢得了四场胜利，足够可靠，能够从容应对再次提升的级别。在纽伯里（7f, qd-sft）轻松获胜后，鉴于其进步的态势，提高4磅的评分可能在可掌控范围内。Completely Random 在本月初的管家杯（6f, qd-fm）中获得了体面的第四名，尽管这次回升一个 furlong 的距离，但仍是不容低估的危险对手。然而，Ghost Mode 在同一天于 C&D (gd-fm) 获胜后更令人忌惮。Ironwill 在那场比赛中获得接近的第二名，这次可能再次接近胜利。

指南：HIGH DEGREE 在几周前于庞特弗拉克特（Pontefract，lm2f, gd·fm）取得成功之前，在失利时一直表现稳定。尽管负重增加了4磅，但威廉·哈加斯（William Haggas）的这匹阉马能延续之前的成功并再次获胜将不足为奇。Too Soon 在六月份于埃普瑟姆（Epsom，lm4f, sft）获胜后，显然是对该选择的威胁，不过84天的休赛期是一个小担忧。Tony Montana 略胜 Green Sky 和 Classical Allusion，成为其余马匹中的最佳选择。

2025：Jonquin 3-9-1, Conn Keane 3-1 (A Boiling), 抽签 (6), 8 Tall. 指南：Zavateri 在两岁时曾在此赢得古董锦标赛 (Vintage Stakes)（7英赛道，qd），但继上周在约克 (York) 负于 Notable Speech 获得第五名（7英赛道，qd-sft）之后，此次出赛可能过早。Seagulls Eleven 在萨塞克斯锦标赛 (Sussex Stakes)（lm, qd-fm）中表现挣扎，此前曾在阿斯科特 (Ascot) 的一场 G2 赛事（lm, qf-fm）中获得第三名，但 BOILING POINT 看起来是更稳妥的选择。卡尔·伯克 (Karl Burke) 训练的这匹马在 7 月的一场艰苦条件赛（lmlf, qd-fm）中曾大胆尝试，最终仅以一个颈长之差落败，类似的努力应该能让这匹五岁马在终点线再次发力。

指南：Evening Call 在纽马克特 (lm, qd-fm) 的首秀表现出色，如果其血统可靠，应该能胜任这次更长的路程。Marquetry 的半姐妹曾在法国的中距离赛事 (lm2f, lm4f) 中获胜，这匹由 Andrew Balding 训练的雌马值得在市场中关注，但状态提升的 TROPICAL SANDS 最具吸引力。她在该路程已有经验，上次在海多克 (lm2f, qd) 惜败时跑出了迄今为止的最佳成绩，如果能进一步进步，这匹由 Ed Walker 训练的雌马有望迎来首胜。

一组一赛冠军雌马 Estrange 退役

作者：MELISSA JONES

ESTRANGE 在最近一次出赛中夺得库拉（Curragh）的 Pretty Polly Stakes 冠军，成为一组一赛（Group One）赢家，现已宣布退役。

这匹由大卫·奥米拉（David O'Meara）训练的雌马在 6 月底的一场 10 弗隆（furlong）测试中击败 One Look，在最高级别赛事中实现了“第三次尝试即成功”。

对于这匹 Night Of Thunder 之女（5 岁）而言，10 月 4 日在隆尚（Longchamp）举行的凯旋门大赛（Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe）以及 13 天后在阿斯科特（Ascot）举行的英国冠军雌马锦标赛（British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes）曾被考虑作为秋季目标。

但其所有者 Cheveley Park Stud 发表的一份声明称：“Estrange 在最后一场比赛中遭受了一些骨挫伤，这意味着她必须处于休养状态。尽管原计划进行秋季赛季，但要让她完全恢复健康的时间已经不足。”

“因此，[马场所有者] 汤普森夫人（Mrs [Patricia] Thompson）认为，既然她已经赢得了一组一赛冠军，现在是时候让她退役到牧场了。”

Estrange 在 2022 年 10 月作为一岁马以 425,000 金币（Guineas）的价格购入，曾由约翰·戈斯登（John Gosden）和萨迪·戈斯登（Thady Gosden）训练，随后被送至奥米拉（见上文）处。

在 2024 年 8 月于古德伍德（Goodwood）的首秀获胜后，Estrange 在其 9 场比赛中赢得了 6 场，并在去年 8 月的约克郡橡树锦标赛（Yorkshire Oaks）中获得亚军（负于 Minnie Hauk），以及在阿斯科特的雌马锦标赛（Fillies & Mares Stakes）中获得亚军（负于 Kalpana）。

声明最后写道：“Estrange 为我们 Cheveley Park Stud 的每一个人在赛场上带来了美妙的时刻，我们对大卫·奥米拉及其团队感激不尽。”

2025年：Saddadd 3-9-5, Ray Dawson 3-1 热门 (R Varian), 抽签 (6), 12匹参赛。 指南：Stem 最近在雅士谷 (1英里4弗隆, qd-fm) 表现不佳，但基于其此前在该赛道及距离 (C&D) 的获胜记录 (qd-fm)，仍具竞争力。King's Charter 3月份在美丹 (1英里, qd) 获得第四名，但此前曾在纽马基特 (gd-fm) 的同距离赛事中获胜，尽管当时负重低了12磅，这表明 KOKBASTAU 才是最强竞争者。Roger Varian 的 Wootton Bassett 产驹在最近两场全天候赛道比赛中获胜，但其血统显示在草地赛道表现会更好，有望实现三连胜。

赛道实况：场地：好 (Good) 右手赛道 顶级赛道骑师 (2021-26)：William Buick 19% 胜率。顶级赛道练马师 (2021-26)：G & J Moore 17% 胜率。首次佩戴：2.15 Crown Of Oaks (舌带), My Love Is King (眼罩), King's Charter (颊带), Flying Frontier (颊带), 3.30 Firehorse (头罩), 4.05 God Of War (颊带), 4.35 Sanbona Warrior (颊带)。热门失利：1.40 Bassrah, 2.15 Alcarath(hcp), 4.35 Noble Prince, Victory Gold。抽签：短途赛低号码占优，尤其是在场地柔软且参赛马匹较多时。

指南：本次出赛有几匹潜力巨大的马，尤其是昂贵的购马 Rock Montreal，他在雅茅斯（Yarmouth，7英里，qd-fm）的首秀中以极佳状态赢得赔率。他已报名参加 Dewhurst 赛，SONIC ANGEL 同样报名。后者在纽卡斯尔（Newcastle，6英里，tpt）获胜，随后在肯普顿（Kempton，pol）增加到 7 英里距离时，在承受负重处罚的情况下依然轻松获胜；鉴于 Crisfords 马房目前的良好状态，预计他在草地首秀中将有出色表现。索尔兹伯里（Salisbury，7英里，qd-fm）的获胜马 Breacher 被高度看好，而 Alfred Wallace 曾在阿斯科特（Ascot，7英里，qd-fm）赢得过 Listed 赛，预计将有稳健表现。

Muir 对 Breacher 在 Solario 赛中大放异彩充满信心

作者：MELISSA JONES

WILLIAM Muir 期待看到 Breacher 能否在今天桑当公园赛马场举行的第三组 BetMGM Solario Stakes 赛中保持其全胜记录。这匹由 Chris Grassick 共同训练的幼马，在昨天的这场七浪距离赛事市场中，正紧追 Roger Varian 旗下同样是首秀获胜的 Rock Montreal。Muir（右图）称赞 Breacher 为“我见过的最好的马”，他在六月的索尔兹伯里赛中击败了由 Sadamonite 拥有且赔率极低的热门马 Squadron。

“他训练起来像一匹真正的好马，”Muir 说道，他之前的马房之星是 2021 年加冕杯和 2022 年乔治六世与伊丽莎白女王金杯赛的冠军 Pyledriver。

“对于像我们这样的小马房来说，这令人兴奋。”

探寻洛穆传奇的答案

作者：大卫·库格兰 (DAVID COUGHLAN)

没有人能比全黑队（All Blacks）更伟大——直到乔纳·洛穆（Jonah Lomu）出现。

前全黑队球员格伦·奥斯本（Glen Osborne）在《LOMU》中这样总结这段不平凡的人生。这是一部关于橄榄球首位全球超级巨星的新长篇纪录片。

这位身高六英尺五英寸、体重19英石的边锋，能在11秒内跑完100米，并成为了橄榄球新职业时代的标志性人物。

洛穆是一位谦逊的偶像，他在与一种罕见的肾脏疾病抗争的同时打破了重重障碍，年仅40岁便不幸离世。

但神话背后的男人究竟是谁？

这部作品由两位导演精湛地打造——汤加裔新西兰人维亚·马菲莱奥（Vea Mafile'o）和来自都柏林的加文·菲茨杰拉德（Gavin FitzGerald）——《LOMU》旨在寻找答案。

菲茨杰拉德表示：“他是个基维人，是个汤加人，现在他又成了这位著名的橄榄球运动员，一名全黑队成员。我认为作为一个年轻人，他会对自己的真实身份产生一种困惑感。”

1995年世界杯让他成为了超级巨星，在新西兰挺进决赛的过程中，他以同样的分量摧毁并迷惑对手（见下文）。

“就像在看超级英雄一样，”菲茨杰拉德说。

但与此同时，洛穆还在应对一种严重的肾脏疾病。

就在1995年橄榄球世界杯结束几个月后，他被诊断出患有肾病综合征，并因此缺席了数月。

令人惊叹的是，他一路奋斗回到了1999年世界杯，并在半决赛中攻入了两个达阵。

菲茨杰拉德说：“考虑到他当时病得那么重却能做到这一点，这件事本身就非常有意义。这是对他人格最美好的诠释。” ●《LOMU》将于9月7日（周一）仅在电影院上映一晚。请在 lomu-doc.com 预订门票。

毫无疑问，春羚队的任务现在更艰巨了

作者：萨姆·米德 (SAM MEADE)

在今天与新西兰队的第二场测试赛前夕，南非队遭受了沉重打击，他们的世界杯英雄汉德雷·波拉德（Handre Pollard）被判定无法参赛。

这位春羚队的飞翼（见下文）在一周前埃利斯公园球场的失利中完全被排除在名单之外，但原定于在开普敦回归，顶替萨查·费因伯格-姆戈梅祖卢（Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu）。

然而，由于昨日上午遭遇伤病，他带领球队反击的希望被截断。在2023年世界杯决赛南非击败全黑队时，波拉德贡献了全部12分。在他缺席的情况下，费因伯格-姆戈梅祖卢将回归。

一周前蹒跚离场的切斯林·科尔比（Cheslin Kolbe）已摆脱伤病担忧，将出场比赛。

在上周末缺席后，具有鼓舞人心的西亚·科利西（Siya Kolisi）也入选名单。

南非 vs 新西兰 开球时间 4:10pm，Sky Sports

新西兰队在约翰内斯堡以33-16获胜后做出了三处调整，由勒罗伊·卡特（Leroy Carter）在边锋位置顶替达阵得分手乔什·穆比（Josh Moorby）。

戴夫·雷尼（Dave Rennie）还因伤病做出了两处调整，伊森·德格鲁特（Ethan de Groot）和乔什·洛德（Josh Lord）因脑震荡协议无法参赛。乔治·鲍尔（George Bower）和西蒙·帕克（Simon Parker）顶替入选。

全黑队在超越南非队后，以世界第一的身份进入这场比赛。

新西兰主教练雷尼表示：“我对位置竞争以及球队在南非各项比赛中的表现感到非常兴奋。”

在下周今天于约翰内斯堡进行第三场测试赛后，两国将于一周后在美国巴尔的摩进行第四场测试赛。

Speedsters Archer 和 Robinson 横扫巴基斯坦

作者：安迪·邓恩

当穆罕默德·阿巴斯听到他的中柱被连根拔起的声音——这标志着巴基斯坦回合的结束——他可能是个如释重负的人。

你不会责怪他。这意味着他再也不用面对乔夫拉·阿彻了。

如果英格兰板球需要提醒人们，在伦敦泰晤士河畔板球场举行的板球比赛应该是什么样子，阿彻给出了答案。

它们不应该是酗酒闹剧的背景、被手铐束缚的投球手和四面楚歌的队长。

它们应该是关于一个快速投球手带来的震撼，让国际对手瑟瑟发抖。

在英格兰系列赛胜利几乎已成定局的一天里，阿彻全速奔跑，时速超过90英里。

他对阿巴斯的“城堡”摧毁仅是本回合的第三个也是最后一个三柱门，但这并未充分体现他的表现。

他在上午轮次中最慢的一次投球也达到了92英里时速。阿彻常因伤病困扰，而一个健康且状态火热的他简直是一道亮丽的风景。他对巴基斯坦队太过强大。英格兰的攻击阵容对巴基斯坦队太过强大。

尽管客队在当天用球做出了有力回应——英格兰在第二回合结束时以81-3收官——他们仍将在周末前的三场系列赛中遭遇三连败，除非英国诡异的天气介入。

英格兰领先261分，凭借这样的投球阵容以及巴基斯坦队阵容薄弱且缺少一人（开局球员伊马姆-乌尔-哈克因腓肠肌受伤无法上场），如果他们 overnight 宣布提前结束比赛，很可能保证胜利。

毫无疑问，巴基斯坦在这次小型系列赛中被彻底压制，但在第二天他们确实有几次感到有些委屈。我们只能说球迹追踪系统到目前为止为英格兰立下了汗马功劳。

奥利·罗宾逊在这两次机会中都受益匪浅。如果决策回放系统对沙德·沙基尔的判罚看起来可疑，那么对穆罕默德·里兹万的判罚看起来简直就是错误。

Had the delivery not been stopped by Rizwan's groin, it might have hit wicket-keeper Jamie Smith - standing up to Robinson's medium pace - on the chin.

诚然，这有点夸张，但DRS的三个红点不仅令巴基斯坦球迷感到困惑，英格兰也不需要任何外部帮助。

这是一个正在成长为极其有效的战斗单位的攻击阵容。阿彻提供了火力展示，而罗宾逊——在乔什·汤格和加斯·阿特金森（上图）的有力支持下——则是环境的节拍大师。他几乎没有超过80英里时速，但几乎没有偏离理想的长度和线路，在一个有接缝的球场上，最终交出了13轮4-11的数据。

他本赛季的数据同样出色。

伤病问题让他在6月对阵新西兰时在伦敦泰晤士河畔板球场拿下7个三柱门后，错过了对新西兰的两场测试赛。

罗宾逊在利兹对阵巴基斯坦时拿下8个三柱门，这意味着他本赛季在五场测试赛中已斩获19个三柱门，平均每场不到9个。

当巴基斯坦在第二回合开始一项徒劳的任务时，他很可能会继续增加他的战绩。

“罗宾逊的投球非常出色，”斯图尔特·布罗德表示，“他将球投到理想长度，无论哪个方向都能获得移动，他让三柱门陷入险境，并通过弹跳保持比赛节奏。他始终能让自己保持在比赛中。”

而阿彻则绝对是英格兰最快的移动球大师。

这简直是一种享受。

伊塔乌马意识到泰森陷阱的危险

拳击

作者：马丁·多明

摩西·伊塔乌马已承诺今晚在拳击台上效仿迈克·泰森——但在台下则完全相反。

今晚在O2体育场，如果伊塔乌马击败菲利普·赫尔戈维奇，他将成为继泰森之后第二年轻的重量级世界冠军拳手。

泰森曾在名利面前挣扎，因强奸罪入狱三年，并在申请破产前挥霍数亿加元。

伊塔乌马表示：“我一直说希望像迈克·泰森那样开始，但不会像他那样结束。

我从未遇到过这种情况：人们在我不想被认出的地方认出我，或只是希望独处。应对这种情况需要一定的心理韧性，我正在采取必要的预防措施。”

罗尼·奥沙利文在武汉公开赛半决赛出局后，给自己设定了18个月的时间来挽救自己的斯诺克职业生涯。

50岁的奥沙利文在比赛中出现一系列低级失误，对手常冰玉以6比3获胜。

奥沙利文对自己的状态感到沮丧，整周都在提及自己状态中的“疾病”，在最新的挫折后他告诉WST.TV：“这种疾病又严重了。老实说，我认为自己永远无法克服它。我会坚持接下来的18个月，看看情况如何。

我还不想就此放弃。我已承诺到那时继续比赛。我想给自己一个机会。我讨厌以那样的表现结束职业生涯。”

常冰玉将在武汉决赛中对阵赵心童，后者在击败同胞肖国栋6比2后晋级，并在比赛中以124分的单杆得分完成胜利。

转会名单在手，热刺老板晚宴后盼再添一笔

热刺 VS 纽卡斯尔联 英超联赛：下午5:30开球，天空体育直播

作者：阿拉斯代尔·戈尔德

罗伯托·德泽尔比在为热刺老板举办的丰盛意大利晚宴上大手笔花钱，并希望老板们能以同样方式回应——在转会截止日前再做一笔大交易。

这位热刺主帅带上了帮助本赛季大举引援的刘易斯家族成员，以及俱乐部首席执行官维奈·文卡特桑、体育总监约翰·兰格和翻译恩里科·文图雷利，于周四共进晚餐。

热刺本赛季转会窗口异常忙碌，已签下8名球员，涉及转会费及潜在附加条款共计3.82亿英镑，其中曼城组合奥马尔·马尔穆什和萨维奥是最新加盟的球员。

通过出售球员已回笼超过2 亿英镑m，队长克里斯蒂安·罗梅罗、杰德·斯彭斯和卢卡·武斯科维奇等人已离队。

德泽尔比自称在锁定目标球员时是一条“鲨鱼”，他希望在周二午夜前再引进一名球员，以完成他的阵容搭配——尽管这个转会窗口已远超他的预期。

他说：“我没想到转会窗口会如此成功。我认为在某个特定位置还能再补一名球员，于是我们与老板、维奈、约翰和恩里科共进晚餐。

“我们讨论了这个想法。我们所有人意见一致，且沟通非常顺畅。”

在过去一周有报道称这位47岁的主帅对夏季拉练期间前往新西兰和澳大利亚的漫长旅程感到不满后，他明确表示这顿晚餐体现了他的真实想法。

“钱是我出的，就是为了让你们别再写我和俱乐部在澳大利亚季前赛期间有矛盾，因为那不是事实。”他说道。

“组织并制定转会市场最后几天的计划、讨论球员状态和未来三四天内可能完成的转会，是我们工作的一部分。”

尽管德泽尔比承认可能在转会窗口关闭前失去一名攻击手，但他对伤停15个月的德扬·库卢塞夫斯基给出了积极的最新进展。

热刺主帅必须在转会窗口关闭时提交最终英超大名单，而他希望这位瑞典球员能入选。

他说：“看到他入选我会非常非常开心。我希望把他列入名单，因为他训练非常努力，是个好人，也是个不同的球员。

“如果[库卢塞夫斯基]现在感觉良好，他会每天都在进步。”

“纽卡斯尔仍具吸引力” 尽管明星球员出走

撰文：李·赖德

马蒂亚斯·贾伊斯勒声称，尽管今夏接连有多位重量级球员离队，纽卡斯尔联仍然是一块“金字招牌”。

这位德国主帅（左）接手的球队刚刚送走了顶级球星桑德罗·托纳利、安东尼·戈登和布鲁诺·吉马良斯。

但本周，贾伊斯勒从曼城签下了前西班牙U21中场尼科·冈萨雷斯，并表示：“我无需‘推销’太多，凭借这里的球迷基础、历史底蕴，这本就是一家特别的俱乐部。我们对如何踢球有清晰理念，在追求未来的过程中敢于冒险，我认为这些因素都在积极影响着尼科，最终他下定决心加盟我们。”

贾伊斯勒还开玩笑说，他会不停敲体育总监罗斯·威尔逊的门，直到转会窗口关闭。他说道：“我每天早上的第一件事就是推动转会。体育总监工作出色，正在竭尽全力。我们要保持理智，不慌不乱。我对转会进展感到乐观。”

Wirtz坚称在Iraola麾下能成为红军领袖

利物浦vs诺丁汉森林 英超联赛：今日 12.30，TNT Sports

撰文：保罗·戈斯特

弗洛里安·维尔茨表示他已准备好接受安德尼·伊拉奥拉的要求，坚称自己现在能成为利物浦的领军人物之一。

维尔茨表示，俱乐部不应纵容关于在新任主帅麾下进行过渡赛季的言论，因为这位身价11600万英镑的中场核心正瞄准安菲尔德的奖杯。

去年6月从拜耳勒沃kusen加盟后，维尔茨成为安菲尔德史上最贵签约，但其"头衔"不久被亚历山大·伊萨克（插图）夺走——后者以12500万英镑从纽卡斯尔联加盟。

随着穆罕默德·萨拉赫离队，本赛季对这对"巨额组合"的期望值陡增，而维尔茨在效力期间也曾受到质疑，特别是在赛季初的几个月里，他曾因英超联赛的激烈对抗与速度而显得不知所措。

这位23岁的攻击手承认上赛季对自己的表现非常苛刻，但相信自己能在安菲尔德肩负重任，迎接新赛季首场英超比赛——今下午对阵诺丁汉森林。

"我一向非常、非常严于律己，"维尔茨说，"我认为这对登顶、登顶世界之巅必不可少。这向来是我的目标，因此必须始终诚实面对自己，也要批判性地审视自己，看清未做好的部分以及需要改进的地方。

"当然，我乐于承担责任。我可能不会总是在场上或更衣室里最响亮的声音。

"Nevertheless, I try to lead the way with the way I play football and the way I stand on the pitch and simply help my team-mates.

"我来这里已有一年，现在对俱乐部的运作方式更加熟悉了。

"因此我认为自己绝对能引领潮流，帮助俱乐部重回应有的位置。

"就我的身体状态而言，当然没问题。我在训练中每天也必须达到极限。与顶级球员一起训练，当赛季真正开始、每三天就要打一场顶级比赛时，你别无选择，只能变得更好。因此我认为我的比赛与身体状态都确实有所提升。

"当然，这也是我首次走出在家乡、异国他乡与不同文化中的舒适圈，去年因此塑造了我，尤其是因为过程并非总是一帆风顺——当然，期望的事情并不总会如愿。但我带走了许多积极的东西，并从中成长了很多。"

维尔茨在安菲尔德的第二个赛季将在伊拉奥拉麾下学习不同的体系，后者于6月初签约两年，接替阿尔内·斯洛特执教。

伊拉奥拉在俱乐部的美国季前赛期间透露，他视德国球星维尔茨为球队的"10号位"，并委以本赛季的创造核心重任。

维尔茨告诉德国天空体育："他（伊拉奥拉）只想让我们踢出强力足球，多压迫。你的任务其实相当明确。

"当然，我们现在必须努力让它作为一个团队运转起来。这不仅要求每个人做好自己的工作，还要相互协调。但他给我的印象确实非常好。

"我认为他能触动许多球员，我们作为一个团队也理解他想要的东西。我认为这绝对是个好开始——球员们相信它，我希望它能取得成功。"

FALSE START 维尔茨希望在本赛季有所表现，以弥补上赛季的遗憾

奥利弗·格拉斯纳预计在诺丁汉森林签下更多球员

在前锋利亚姆·德拉普加盟后。

这位23岁的球员于周四以创俱乐部纪录的£4500 万从切尔西加盟，格拉斯纳计划在周二的转会截止日期前再做补强。

格拉斯纳拒绝就媒体报道的诺丁汉森林向其前水晶宫边后卫丹尼尔·穆尼奥斯开出的2200 万英镑m报价置评，但这位奥地利教练确实承认潜在交易已接近完成。

伊拉奥拉首秀将是家庭聚会

“孩子们现在开始慢慢理解足球了，他们会——”

安德尼·伊拉奥拉将在本周末于家乡迎来首秀，作为利物浦主帅的首场比赛——并希望诺丁汉森林不要破坏这份喜悦。

“他们现在开始喜欢足球了，因为我的孩子们想去看球。有时他们会去。不是每次都去，但他们会到场观看首场比赛，因为时机很好。‘我的孩子们有最喜欢的利物浦球员吗？’他们有，但我不会在这里说，否则其他球员会有意见！”伊拉奥拉（左）谈及其安菲尔德首秀时表示：“这是一个情感部分，可能只有我自己能感受到。球员们更习惯在安菲尔德比赛。”

伊拉奥拉的红军将由其妻子伊齐亚尔和他们的两个孩子在看台上观看。他表示：“我妻子平时从不来看我的比赛，但——”

“我们会再签两名球员，”格拉斯纳（上图）在今日前往利物浦前表示，“但这也有足球层面的考量，森林军团在过去两年都在这里击败过我们。他们会记得这些，并试图再次做到。”

“我们一旦签下一名球员，就意味着至少还会再签一位。交易接近完成，相当接近了。”

老字号球队球迷禁令

凯尔特人和流浪者俱乐部被勒令在下一场苏格兰足总杯主场比赛中空场进行。

这一处罚源于苏格兰足协纪律听证会，调查今年3月凯尔特人在伊布罗克斯球场四分之一决赛获胜后发生的骚乱。

在点球大战后，流浪者球迷冲进球场与凯尔特人球迷发生冲突，导致数十人被捕。两家俱乐部均需向对手支付10 万英镑英镑的补偿，以弥补杯赛门票收入损失。

两家俱乐部均承认支持者存在不可接受行为的指控。

此前一项独立调查得出结论，险些酿成“挤压”事故和“危及生命的暴力事件”。

凯尔特人认为这一处罚“过于严厉”。

为乌奈进化与解决方案

维拉主帅展现PSR平衡大师手腕

作者：约翰·克罗斯

每个夏天，转会窗口对阿斯顿维拉而言，已不再是单纯的转会期，而更像是一场超市大甩卖——球队核心成员频频易主，最终在窗口关闭前的最后几天疯狂补强。

但维拉有埃梅里坐镇，这家俱乐部在其他球队可能分崩离析之际，却能实现螺旋式上升。

正是埃梅里让维拉球迷们安心，尽管今夏他们已失去摩根·罗杰斯、尤里·蒂勒曼斯、埃兹里·孔萨和卢卡斯·迪涅，而埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯与奥利·沃特金斯也即将离队。

若其他俱乐部在一个夏天卖掉六名主力与绝对主力球员，必然陷入崩溃。但维拉却完成了多笔精彩引援，包括莱昂·戈雷茨卡、马特奥·鲁格里、若昂·戈麦斯、泽恩·铃木、亚历杭德罗·加纳乔、约翰·曼赞比和亚伦·万-比萨卡。

他们又完成了一笔重磅交易：尼古拉斯·杰克逊以£6500万英镑加盟，自切尔西引进。埃梅里此前曾在比利亚雷亚尔执教过这位25岁的塞内加尔国脚，后者在切尔西的81场比赛中攻入30球。

撕裂一支球队、重建再出发——能做到这一点的主帅寥寥无几，更罕见有人能如此迅速地扭转局面。

但埃梅里当属英超最佳主帅之一。

纵观其履历、经验与执教能力，他丝毫不逊于任何人。

去年，维拉在开局五连败且仅进一球的情况下，最终夺得欧联杯冠军并跻身第四。如此大反转令人叹为观止。

上周日维拉在客场0:4不敌布莱顿的一役，仿佛去年情景的重现。沃特金斯的转会闹剧仍在上演——更衣室内的不确定性与首战噩梦交织。2025年9月初，孔萨曾形容整个局面“疯狂”，并抱怨转会窗口“正在摧毁”维拉，而这一切都发生在“盈利与可持续发展规则”（PSR）的背景下。

孔萨已以5500 万英镑00万英镑转投阿森纳，尽管在社交媒体上向维拉球迹告别时风度翩翩，但周一重返旧主时想必仍忐忑不安。

不过孔萨也是个聪明且性格强硬的角色，他认可埃梅里作为教练与管理者的品质。

埃梅里也是个奇迹创造者，因为必须意识到PSR规则正竭力保护传统豪门——这也是维拉每年夏天必须轮换阵容的原因。俱乐部的资产负债表与营业额应足以让他们守规矩。

俱乐部队长约翰·麦金在今夏接受加里·内维尔《重叠》播客采访时强调，埃梅里如何将一切凝聚在一起。

麦金表示：“我们习惯了变化。我们会尝试融合新球员，并超越去年的表现。

如果失去埃梅里，情况就完全不同了。我对新赛季仍保持乐观。

但我们必须确保留住主教练。他总能让渴望被提升的球员变得更好。

我们也有球员被他反复给予机会，却不思进取。

但每天晚八点，他都会观看一场又一场比赛或一个又一个球员，只为那份对胜利的执着。”

正是这份执着将驱动埃梅里前行。

维拉在9月将焕然一新，且竞争力十足。

但请相信，维拉同样渴望周一晚的比赛。

维拉球迷似乎与冠军阿森纳结下了宿怨，尽管后者未必有同感。

但这已成为一场火辣的对决，而维拉公园球场的氛围注定火爆非常——埃梅里在首战失利后，必定渴望用下一场胜利证明自己。

埃梅里为沃特金斯的“对不起”落泪

作者：约翰·唐利

乌奈·埃梅里承认，确认奥利·沃特金斯即将离开阿斯顿维拉后，他流下了眼泪。

埃梅里还透露，这名前锋因拒绝对阵布莱顿的比赛而向他道歉——那场比赛维拉以4比0惨败。

沃特金斯（下图）现正完成一笔价值£5000万英镑的转会至阿尔希拉尔，而尼古拉斯·杰克逊将以6500 万英镑00万英镑从切尔西加盟维拉，接替其位置。

英格兰国脚沃特金斯明确向维拉表明，他希望前往沙特阿拉伯，因其能获得一份丰厚的合同。

尽管球队中另外两名前锋塔米·亚伯拉罕和布赖恩·马焦均因伤缺阵，他仍决定不参加新赛季首轮对阵布莱顿的比赛。

此举激怒了球迷，他随后向埃梅里和队友道歉，但主教练坚称其历史地位不受影响。

维拉主帅表示：“我可以告诉你们，他的敬业精神和表现都非常出色。

我们未能在对阵布莱顿的最后一场比赛中完成交易，但他在赛后告诉我们他很抱歉，也告诉我们他犯了一个错误。

他错了，但我们接受了。球员们也接受了，因为他始终对俱乐部、对我们、对我都非常敬业且全力以赴。

对他来说，我是一个了不起的家伙……甚至超越了球员的层面。我对他说‘再见’时，给了他一个大大的拥抱，还流下了小小的泪水。

好吧，但现在是维拉的新篇章，由尼古拉斯·杰克逊接手。

沃特金斯在这里的几年表现出色，无论是进球、表现、敬业精神，还是随时准备上场——即使受伤时也是如此。

与他四年的合作关系在专业层面上达到了很高的水平。

上周我有点失望。我确实感到失望，但我们已经谈过了，现在一切都明确了。他是个了不起的人，一次错误并不能抹杀他在这里所做的一切好事。

对于球迷来说也是如此。他很优秀，我认为他的历史地位在这里得以延续。”

埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯也将成为另一位离队者，他即将加盟切尔西，而亚伯拉罕将租借加盟伊普斯维奇一整个赛季。新援莱昂·戈雷茨卡已于周四签约，有望在周一登场。

FOURSOME 罗宾逊在英格兰在主场的一天统治中成为英格兰攻击的核心

快速手与阿彻联手令英格兰在掌控之中

作者：安迪·邓恩 奥利·罗宾逊和乔夫拉·阿彻在第二场在主场对阵巴基斯坦的比赛中将英格兰带到系列赛胜利的边缘。

罗宾逊攻下4-11，阿彻3-26，而客队在首局仅得到110分即被全歼。在第二局，乔·鲁特的球队以81-3结束，领先261分，目前在三场系列赛中以1-0领先。

而阿彻（右）也知道英格兰处于主动地位，表示：“我认为在这样的场地上，我们的领先优势是很多的跑分。”

俱乐部产业需在路上，阿韦洛亚如是说

阿尔瓦罗·阿韦洛亚要求富勒姆队在明天客场对阵桑德兰的比赛中表现得“非常积极”。

阿韦洛亚执教富勒姆的首秀在周一以3比2负于切尔西告终。

然而，富勒姆随后在英格兰联赛杯第二轮中以3比0轻取英甲球队温布尔登，成功反弹。

桑德兰在上周末的英超揭幕战中也遭遇失利——以1比2不敌升班马伊普斯维奇，但他们将在主场迎战富勒姆时获得主场球迷的支持。

阿韦洛亚经理（上图）在效力利物浦期间曾两度在光明球场作战，他表示：“我们知道英超客场比赛总是非常困难，因此我们需要保持同样的性格和心态，就像在主场一样，但这对我们来说并不容易。

“客场作战总是困难重重，因为主队感受到信心，他们希望在支持者面前比赛。因此，对我们而言，如果想要按照我们的方式比赛，我们需要表现得非常出色，非常积极。

“当然，他们拥有许多优秀的球员。但我们如此、如此志在必得，所以现在我们唯一想做的就是每天提升自己，继续努力，然后我们将在五月见分晓。”

圣西罗：雷吉斯·勒布里斯眼中的地位象征

雷吉斯·勒布里斯将桑德兰客场挑战AC米兰描述为“一座象征”。

勒布里斯（右图）在重返顶级联赛的首个赛季便率队取得第七名，自2017年以来首次重返欧洲赛场，时隔1973年后再度获得欧洲比赛资格。

桑德兰还将远赴安德莱赫特、莱赫波兹南和托雷森，主场对阵AZ阿尔克马尔、萨格勒布迪纳摩、雅盖隆尼亚比亚韦斯托克和列夫斯基索菲亚。

勒布里斯表示：“米兰是一座标志性球场。AC米兰是一家大俱乐部，历史悠久，能在欧洲赛场上与之交手，这本身就是一种象征。”

黑猫军团明天将主场迎战富勒姆，但新签球员达扬·梅塔利停赛，中场朱尔斯·阿霍卡有望迎来首秀。

别想9比0了……卡里克只求任何形式的胜利

联队主帅只能梦想1995年式屠杀

曼联 vs 伊普斯维奇

英超联赛：明天，开球时间 16:30

作者：杰里米·克罗斯

考虑到球队本赛季的开局表现，曼联主教练迈克尔·卡里克甚至连想都不敢想这样一个比分：曼联9-0伊普斯维奇。

实际上，卡里克（插图）只会接受明天在老特拉福德球场对阵伊普斯维奇的任何一场胜利。更不用说一场接近1995年同一块场地上那场历史性屠杀的胜利。

在新赛季开局更多是抱有希望而非期待的情况下，曼联在赫尔城遭遇失利。

面对升班马的失利，是本赛季对卡里克的首次考验。这也为明天对阵另一支新军——加里·奥尼尔的球队——的比赛增添了即时压力。

输球是不可想象的。

正如31年前那个历史下午曼联对同一对手打出9-0一样不可思议。这一结果——英超联赛纪录——迄今无人能及，包括曼联自己在2021年对南安普顿时复制过这一壮举。

但自从亚历克·弗格森在2013年结束其执教生涯后，曼联的终结式衰落普遍如此之严重，俱乐部甚至沦为被痛击的对象，比如在2023年最近一次被利物浦7-0横扫。

本场比赛与31年前那场比赛有一个相似之处。

两队在赛前处于积分榜的两端。

只是这次曼联排名垫底，而伊普斯维奇则是九支获胜球队之一——

贝莱巴出场日期需谨慎

作者：泰隆·马歇尔

迈克尔·卡里克预计卡洛斯·贝莱巴将在未来三周内可以出战。

但曼联主教练不愿确认这位7000万英镑身价的球员（左图）是否会在9月国际比赛周前确定登场。

这位22岁的中场在夏季转会前从布莱顿加盟时就已伤及脚踝韧带。

曼联在为期三周的国际比赛周前的最后一场比赛将于9月20日对阵富勒姆。

“他的脚踝有些问题，”卡里克说，“所以可能需要两周左右，或者三周，我们会看看。但我们早就知道了，所以这不是什么大问题。”当被问及贝莱巴是否会在国际比赛周前登场时，卡里克表示：“我们抱有希望，但目前还不想设定任何期限。”

贝莱巴状态恢复后，卡里克对他寄予厚望，称：“他还有更多潜力可挖，加上他现有的实力，再提升一点点对他来说对我们来说都是令人兴奋的。”

球队在赫尔市的开局惨败后奋力反击

他原本希望球队不会最终攻入10球。

这场比赛意味着不会再有人认为“梦剧场”的球迷会相信曼联能在周日比赛中拿出最佳表现，更不用说像安迪·科尔那样攻入五球，再加上马克·休斯（右）的两粒进球。

回顾这场胜利，科尔表示：“那只是其中的一天。感觉也很棒。”

曼联此前受到伊普斯维奇在波特曼路球场赛季初庆祝过度的激励，因为他们在那场比赛中爆冷获胜。

费格森命令曼联要无情。但结果对客队来说如此屈辱，就连费格森也罕见地表现出同情，当……

他担心这会对宿敌、苏格兰同胞兼好友乔治·伯利的教练造成怎样的心理伤害。

最终曼联定格在少进一球，但这仍是他们103年来最大的联赛胜利。

费格森当时表示：“这是你一直梦想的表现，但一生中只会发生一次。”

曼联在那个赛季卷入与布莱克本的激烈冠军争夺战，最终遗憾落败。

在伊普斯维奇大胜后，罗弗斯主帅肯尼·达格利什提醒人们，这不过是三分，无论过程如何——卡里克明天应当记住这一点。

加里·奥尼尔坚称伊普斯维奇在转会窗口尚未结束，因为这支英超新军本周又有大动作。

阿根廷中场、世界杯冠军埃塞基耶尔·帕拉西奥斯（上图）于周四从勒沃库森加盟波特曼路球场，这是萨福克球队最新的大手笔引援。

阿斯顿维拉前锋塔米·亚伯拉罕即将租借加盟，球队希望在周二晚前完成更多交易。

在明天客战曼联前，主教练

伊普斯维奇仍有时间完成交易

奥尼尔表示：“我们有望尚未结束。我们仍在努力做成一些交易。

“至于具体是谁或哪些位置，我暂无更新。

“我们仍在努力工作以提升阵容，但现在我的重心完全放在周末的比赛上，确保我们为这场极其艰难的考验做好充分准备。”

伊普斯维奇可能会在老特拉福德派上弗洛伦蒂诺·路易斯，而帕拉西奥斯——他在今夏世界杯上为阿根廷出场一次——有望首次亮相。阿佐尔·马图西瓦和杰克·泰勒仍处于伤停状态。

'欧洲杯有望但需付出代价'

伯恩茅斯 vs 埃弗顿 英超联赛：下午3点开球

![图片]

撰文：乔·托马斯

大卫·莫耶斯认为，埃弗顿本赛季若想冲击欧洲赛事，仍需“付出大量努力”。

在转会窗口的最后时日，埃弗顿的一线队阵容比上赛季结束时更为精简，且尚未签下新的右后卫——这是今夏的主要目标之一。

此外，俱乐部还面临着留住边锋伊利曼·恩迪亚耶的艰难局面，曼城正对其表现出浓厚兴趣。

埃弗顿主帅莫耶斯担忧，若边锋离队，任何转会收入或将错过最佳投资时机。

俱乐部首席执行官安格斯·金尼尔上周曾表示，本赛季的目标是为欧洲赛事发起更强势的冲击。

在今日前往伯恩茅斯之前，莫耶斯承认球队去年曾创造奇迹，一度跻身欧洲赛事竞争行列。

他表示：“要让我们达到那一水平，还需付出大量努力。但去年没人看好我们，而我们大部分时间都在紧追不舍。

“我们能从中汲取的积极信号是，去年我们并未预期能做到，因此本赛季我们或许仍抱持类似想法——但谁也说不准。

“我们开局表现不错，球员们在比赛中也有上佳发挥，这让我对可能性充满希望。”

莫耶斯急于留住恩迪亚耶。面对曼城的兴趣，他表示：“首先我要说的是，我绝对不会鼓励任何报价，这一点确定无疑。

“打死我也不会鼓励那样的事。”

埃弗顿相信他们在恩迪亚耶的未来上握有主动权，毕竟他的合同还有三年期限。

不过，他今年拒绝签署新条款的做法颇为棘手，且他已明确表示渴望参加欧冠联赛。

倘若报价足够丰厚，令埃弗顿接受，莫耶斯担忧转会窗口的时间窗口将无法让他们及时补充合格的塞内加尔前锋。

他表示：“要将资金及时投资出去将极为困难。现在我们已进入转会窗口的末期。”

回顾转会窗口，莫耶斯说：“我们需要做得更多。我并非说时间不多，但仍会尽力而为。我认为若有可能，我们需要做得更彻底。”

无论恩迪亚耶的去留如何，另一选择是重新引入前租借球星杰克·格拉利什。埃弗顿在整个夏天都与这位曼城球员的经纪人保持着对话。

托特的欧洲机遇

亚历克斯·托特期待伯恩茅斯在欧洲赛事的首个赛季能成为他在马尔科·罗斯麾下获得更多出场机会的催化剂。

自去年1月从费伦茨瓦罗斯加盟以来，这位匈牙利中场一直难以获得稳定的出场时间。

但随着樱桃队（伯恩茅斯）现在需在欧洲联赛与国内赛事间平衡，托特（上图）正期待着机会。

在今日埃弗顿到访前，这位20岁的球员——他在上周末曼城战败后替补登场——表示：“随着欧联、联赛杯和足总杯的增加，我们有了更多比赛机会。面对这些机会，你必须把握住。

“责任在我。如果有机会摆在我面前，我必须抓住它。”

表现未达期望标准

阿隆索希望蓝军球员具备正确心态 将恩佐排除在杯赛之外

英超联赛：明天，开球时间下午2点

切尔西 VS 布莱顿

作者：罗伯特·奥康纳

哈维·阿隆索表示，在将恩佐·费尔南德斯排除在周四对阵卢顿的卡拉宝杯胜利阵容之外后，他希望球员们能“渴望为切尔西效力”。

曼城正试图在转会窗口于周二关闭前完成交易，以签下这位切尔西中场作为罗德里的替代者。

阿隆索否认了阿根廷媒体关于费尔南德斯主动要求不参加对阵卢顿的比赛的报道，蓝军最终以2-0获胜。

但在明天主场对阵布莱顿的英超比赛前，切尔西主帅表示：“我们需要让状态最佳的球员出场。

“我们需要考虑所有情况——状态正佳的球员，以及那些缺乏比赛欲望的球员。让他们感受到比赛的渴望并做好充分准备非常重要。

“我们进行了沟通，并决定（对阵卢顿时）他最好不进入大名单。他是一名顶级球员，这一点毫无疑问。”

当被问及若费尔南德斯离开斯坦福桥，切尔西是否会重新考虑转会市场时，阿隆索补充道：“我们必须随时做好准备。”

近日，俱乐部已有多名球员离队，后卫马马杜·萨尔是最新一位，他被租借加盟皇家社会。周四，利亚姆·德拉普以5000 万英镑的价格被卖至诺丁汉森林。

此前曾表示球队规模需要大幅缩减的阿隆索表示：“我们正接近既定计划。我们将看最终结果，是否完全执行或仍有待完成之处。

“但总体而言，我们现有的平衡将会很好。我们需要观察接下来几天的发展。”

切尔西今夏签下的丹尼·韦尔贝克在对阵哈特斯的比赛中打进一球。这位35岁老将的进球帮助蓝军在主场晋级第三轮，对阵利兹联。

阿隆索谈及这名前布莱顿前锋时说：“他有很多优点。作为球员，你能看到他的智慧。他善于连接。场外他能很好地配合。禁区内他总能出现在正确位置。

“日常训练中，他对其他球员的影响很大。他训练非常努力。

“他正在提升训练标准，这是我们认为非常重要的一点。”

HURZELER STILL SWEET ON MINTEH

FABIAN HURZELER hopes Yankuba Minteh can heal quickly and become an important player for Brighton again as he called for commitment from the winger amid interest from Liverpool.

The 22-year-old (left) joined the Seagulls from Newcastle in 2024 and has scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 66 Premier League appearances.

Minteh's performances led Liverpool to make a couple of bids, the second in the region of 6000 万英镑m, for the Gambia international, who has yet to feature this season due to a leg injury.

Seagulls boss Hurzeler said: "He's doing rehab now. I said that it won't be a short-term injury.

"It will take a few weeks, so hopefully he can heal fast and become an important player for us again."

Hurzeler has been speaking to Minteh during his absence about Liverpool's interest to understand the player's thoughts and express the club's stance.

"He's a player from Brighton and at the moment there's nothing else to say," he said. "I demand from him that when this window is closed, that he's fully committed to this club.

"Of course, there are always dreams of players and there are some wishes from players.

"But, in the end, we always need to figure out what is best for the club and therefore we are in exchange with him.

"At the moment, he's definitely a Brighton player. I can't say anything more, so let's see what happens."

尊重老虎队！弗兰克·费兰度深知赫尔可能搅局

考文垂 VS 赫尔城

英超联赛：开球时间 下午3点

撰文：巴里·库珀

弗兰克·费兰度坚称，在为考文垂时隔25年首次在英超主场亮相做准备时，赫尔城值得球队充分重视。

考文垂今日主场迎战老虎队，力图在上周五揭幕战客场0:3不敌新科冠军阿森纳后重振旗鼓，而塞尔盖·亚基罗维奇麾下的球队则在首战2:0击败曼联。

尽管天蓝军团上赛季赢得英冠冠军，且领先赫尔城22分，但在双方本赛季前两轮联赛中，费兰度的球队未能从老虎队身上取得进球。

费兰度麾下的球员在座无虚席且期待万分的CBS体育场背景下被视为夺标热门，但这位前英格兰中场深知亚基罗维奇麾下的球队有多么危险。

“你不能轻视赫尔城，因为他们在首场比赛中击败了曼联，士气正盛，”费兰度（右图）表示。

“这是与对阵阿森纳截然不同的挑战。

“我们坦诚以待，我永远不会贬低赫尔城，我认为球迷和所有人的期待都将是，‘考文垂完全有能力竞争’。”

“虽然本场比赛我们可能被视为热门，而上周则恰恰相反，但球赛一旦开踢，这些就变得无关紧要了。

“我们必须理解他们会给我们制造极大困难。

“他们上周的定位球威胁巨大。因此，我们必须理解比赛的方方面面。

“我们是否希望专注于自身，并相信在主场球迷的助威下我们能做到什么？绝对如此。

“因此，我对球队的表现感到兴奋，从长期来看，能在这里上演一场真正的竞技比赛，我期待看到我们的表现。”

老虎队在揭幕战上凭借出色发挥令外界大吃一惊，两粒进球均来自定位球，费兰度表示其球队必须对此保持警惕。

“他们表现出色，”前切尔西主帅补充道，“我并非轻描淡写，我确实没学到什么新东西。我早就知道他们是支难缠的球队。

“我们上赛季曾与他们两度0:0战平。他们组织严密，总能制造转换威胁，且身材高大。定位球始终是我们必须关注的重点。他们的表现非常出色，我认为必须为之喝彩。

“很难从他们身上突破，而且他们总能保持威胁，这某种程度上正是他们上赛季的比赛方式，也是他们能跻身英超的原因。”

RYAN 瞄准早期积分指标

撰文：巴里·库珀

瑞安·贾尔斯（Ryan Giles）理解为何许多人将赫尔城本赛季第二场比赛对阵考文垂的比赛称为“保级六分大战”——尽管这仅是赛季第二场比赛。

两支球队均在上赛季升入英超联赛，天蓝军团（考文垂）摘得英冠冠军，而老虎军团（赫尔城）则在升级附加赛决赛中胜出。

这两支球队——连同伊普斯维奇——在很大程度上已被许多人判定为“保级热门”，三支升级球队被普遍认为将在赛季初即告降级。

尽管考文垂上周五晚在客场挑战冠军阿森纳的比赛中以3-0落败，但赫尔城与城市竞技（伊普斯维奇）均在各自的主场比赛中获胜，其中老虎军团更是以2-0击败曼联。

贾尔斯（左）表示，他并不意外这场两队的对决被视为名副其实的“六分大战”。

他说道：“对阵考文垂是一场重量级比赛。我们清楚这场比赛的分量有多重。

比赛的强度极高。小伙子们需要适应这种水平，然后我们会去那里全力以赴。

这很艰难。球队传球速度极快，任何一点空隙他们都能通过传球直捣球门。”

埃尔·哈吉·马利克·迪乌夫（El Hadji Malick Diouf）一加入布伦特福德便立刻感受到球队的良好氛围，并宣称自己渴望“赢得联赛冠军”。

这位21岁的塞内加尔左后卫以4000 万英镑m的价格从西汉姆联转会至西伦敦，并与布伦特福德签下了一份为期五年的合同，另含一年续约选项。

当被问及对自己在蜜蜂军团（布伦特福德昵称）任期内的抱负时，迪乌夫表示：“为何不能赢得联赛冠军呢？

我希望在这里发挥重要作用。我认为必须要有耐心并努力成长。

我上赛季观看了他们很多比赛。这支球队非常有活力，而我的特点也是如此，所以我认为自己能够很好地适应。”

多年来，布伦特福德以对球员进行详尽尽职调查而闻名。迪乌夫也不例外，他坦言俱乐部经理基思·安德鲁斯（Keith Andrews）及官员们向他指出了自己球技中连他自己都鲜少察觉的优点。

他补充道：“我认为他们给了我一个很好的计划。我与主教练交谈过，他为我制定了一个很好的发展计划，所以我认为这里是个适合我的地方。

他们看到了我身上的潜力，而我自己可能都未曾察觉。

他们期待帮助我成长，而我也对这个计划感到非常满意。我期待继续我的进步之路。”

与迪乌夫形成对比的是，安德鲁斯坚称“布伦特福德没有人会自满”，尽管球队在赛季初表现强劲。蜜蜂军团在前两场比赛中共攻入9球——在英超揭幕战中3次洞穿热刺大门，在英联杯第二轮中则以大比分击败伯明翰。

安德鲁斯麾下的球队希望在明天客场挑战利兹联时延续胜利势头。这位少帅在执教首个赛季便率队取得联赛第九的佳绩，他说道：“没有人会自满。这不过是一场联赛比赛和一场杯赛比赛。孩子们状态不错。我们为此付出了艰苦努力。

比赛不会轻易给予你任何东西。你必须去争取，而周日也不例外。

我们将面对一支真正优秀的球队，在竞争激烈且充满侵略性的埃兰路球场，所有挑战都会接踵而至。

但孩子们现在信心十足，享受足球，享受在一起的时光，所以我们希望能够保持这种状态。”

佩里离队，法尔克敲定泽特尔加盟

丹尼尔·法尔克确认卢卡斯·佩里已获准离开利兹联，俱乐部正在敲定米歇尔·泽特尔作为其替代者。

门将佩里（插图）已被拍到抵达都灵，为租借加盟做准备，租借合同包含买断选项；而泽特尔于昨日傍晚从德甲法兰克福抵英，作为英格兰国脚詹姆斯·特拉福德的替补。

若成行，泽特尔将成为继哈里·威尔逊、尼科·埃尔韦迪、塔里克·穆哈雷莫维奇和特拉福德之后的第五笔夏季签约。法尔克表示：“是的，佩里离队已获准，我们也的确接近引进一名新门将。但我希望等一切确认后再谈此事。”

Jaissle a baby-faced assassin

BEST moment of last weekend's big Prem kick-off?

Without a doubt, events at Newcastle when both Toon and Kop fans paid a heartfelt tribute to Kevin Keegan.

As the Sky commentators pointed out, the match that followed was played in a buccaneering style that King Kev would have loved.

So putting all that incredible emotion aside, it got us thinking about the merits of Newcastle this season.

The Toon had been written off in some quarters before a ball was even kicked. Yes, they have lost some star midfield names as well as their well-respected manager Eddie Howe.

But have those critics fallen into the typical 'never heard of the new boss' trap? Toon boss Matthias Jaissle looks baby-faced. But is he, in reality, an assassin?

We've been here before.

Other fresh-faced bosses – like Andoni Iraola, when he arrived at Bournemouth, Fabian Hurzeler at Brighton and Regis Le Bris, who has rejuvenated Newcastle's arch-rivals Sunderland – were treated with suspicion because they hadn't proved themselves at Stoke on a mythical wet Wednesday.

But they went on to show you dare not judge a new boss purely by his lack of wrinkles.

Herr Jaissle certainly got a tune out of the Toon, and although it's very early doors, we can't see why they can't ride the Keegan wave and get a result at Spurs, who still feel very Spursy.

Brentford, brilliantly marshalled by another managerial pup in Keith Andrews, tore Spurs to shreds in their opening clash.

Tottenham may have cruised through the Carabao Cup in midweek, but beating a second-string Charlton side shouldn't scare the Magpies, who impressed on cup duty as well.

We'll take Newcastle to nick it at 19 / 10 (Skybet).

We'll also have a dabble on a Toon win and both to score at a tempting 4 / 1 (Skybet).

King Kev would luv it, really luv it, if we were right.

In our relentless search for value in the Premier League this weekend, our eyes surprisingly fell on Arsenal's Monday night visit to Aston Villa.

Odds for an Arsenal win are way too skinny, but during the Gunners' exciting start to the season, we've been particularly impressed by Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian looks back to his best, and the way Brighton's midfield runners cut through Villa's defence last week, we can see Odegaard running the show.

He's notched in Arsenal's last two games, and we fancy him to score again at any time (17 / 4, Coral).

We'll also have a punt on him opening the scoring for the champions at 10 / 1 with Paddy Power.

POSH FACE BATTLE TO STAY WOKE

英格兰足球甲级联赛综述

撰文：贾森·梅洛尔

卢克·威廉姆斯承认彼得伯勒联队要想留住当红前锋博卢·肖福沃克将面临一场硬仗。

这位17岁的小将（上图）已吸引了一众球探的关注——而在英格兰联赛杯对沃特福德的比赛中攻入首个一线队进球。

在即将前往布莱克浦的比赛前，波什主帅威廉姆斯（右图）表示：“当然各家俱乐部会对博卢感兴趣。

他还非常年轻，刚刚才适应一线队比赛。

能做出他这样的调整实属不易，我希望大家能看到他的进步有多么了不起。”

榜首的布拉德福德联队——目前是联赛仅有的两战全胜球队——可能会在对普利茅斯的比赛中让22岁的后卫乔治·普拉特首次登场。这名球员从布莱克本租借加盟，为期一个赛季。克莱顿·泰勒在加入巴恩斯利后，对当地人的一些说法感到困惑。

这位23岁的澳大利亚U23边锋正力争在对莱顿东方的比赛中首次首发，并透露：“有时人们说些什么，我只是点点头随声附和。但我会慢慢适应的。”

谢菲尔德 Wednesday 的时代即将落幕——在谢菲尔德 Wednesday 俱乐部扮演“Barney Owl”吉祥物服装20年来的男子将在主场对布罗姆利的比赛中完成最后一次亮相，之后他将专注于经营自己的生意。

詹姆斯·威姆斯赫斯特18岁时首次穿上这套标志性的鸟类服装。他说道：“我只有一个梦想——有一天能在英超联赛中扮演巴尼。很遗憾我始终未能实现这个目标，所以希望能在看台上见证它。”

英格兰足球甲级联赛综述 李·贝尔称克鲁的孩子们价值数百万

撰文：贾森·梅洛尔

随着转会截止日的临近，李·贝尔有“几百万”个理由放心让克鲁青年军继续留队。

Alex academy 不断培养未来之星，助力球队开局两连胜。

在即将前往德比郡对阵波特瓦尔的比赛前，贝尔主帅（上图）坚称：“我们对转会窗口的最后一周感到非常平静。

除非有人开价几百万英镑，否则我们的球员不会离开。”

汤姆·詹姆斯很乐意看到布里斯托流浪者摆脱“entertainers”的标签——只要他们继续进球。

史蒂夫·埃文斯麾下的球队在前两场比赛中共攻入13球，将在对克劳利的比赛中力争连胜。

这位30岁的后卫表示：“我们已经讨论过后防收紧的问题。作为一支球队，我们需要变得更好，我们正在为此努力。

我们前场表现很有效率，但要想冲击联赛排名，还需拿到零封。”

在从索尔福德转会加盟后，24岁的中场球员乔希·奥斯特菲尔德有望在主场对切斯特菲尔德的比赛中完成罗瑟勒姆首秀。

加雷斯·艾因斯沃斯坚信吉林汉姆能摆脱开局缓慢的状态，力争在主场对北安普顿的比赛中取得首胜。

吉林汉姆目前仅积1分。

艾因斯沃斯主帅表示：“我在每家俱乐部都引以为豪的一件事是，当球队遇到困境时，更衣室会真正团结起来——而他们在这里已经做到了。”

这位西班牙边锋从西甲莱万特加盟，渴望在詹姆斯·莫里森的球队今午对阵升级竞争对手米德尔斯brough时立即大显身手。

图德（上图）表示：“我已与主教练交谈过，他希望我能充分发挥，打出自己的比赛并自信地出击。我希望能让球迷兴奋，为球队创造机会，迫不及待想要开始。”

博罗本赛季尚未完全发挥潜力——尽管在四场比赛中赢下了三场——但新援凯尔·约瑟夫相信球队很快就会步入正轨。

他表示：“我们对这支球队的潜力充满信心，小伙子们正互相推动，力求变得更好。”

中场球员摆脱伤病困扰誓言：我的时代现在开始！

撰文：安迪·迪安 中场球员 亚伦·拉姆塞

正在重新感受自己是一名"完整球员"的亚伦·拉姆塞渴望帮助伯恩利重返胜利轨道。

这位23岁的球员自三年前以1200万英镑从阿斯顿维拉加盟以来，仅在英冠联赛中出场17次。

他于2024年2月对阵阿森纳时遭遇严重膝伤，导致其缺阵14个月，随后在上赛季租借至莱斯特城期间又饱受伤病困扰。

在他缺阵期间，伯恩利在最后13场联赛中未尝胜绩，本赛季前四场比赛也未能在90分钟内取胜，在新任主帅尼基·海恩（右）的带领下。

但伤愈复出的拉姆塞已在前两场英冠联赛中首发登场，誓言确保球队开启连胜。

英冠联赛：北京时间15:00开球

今天将在其前东家诺维奇主场上演。他说道："从六七岁起，我所知道的一切就是踢球，而这种被剥夺的感觉——在你无法掌控的情况下失去它——是很艰难的。

"每天来到球场，却无法穿上球靴甚至闻到青草的气息……取而代之的是待在理疗室，通常在做一些你不喜欢的事情。

"作为一名球员，就是要跨过白线触摸足球，而我感觉自己失去了那种感觉。我感觉自己不再是一名足球运动员。

"你必须咬牙坚持，并以此为动力重新成为一名全能球员。

"直到参加约10场比赛，我才会觉得自己完全恢复了状态，但能在赛季首战中首发出场，看到这一切付出的努力在季前赛中让身体做好准备，这太棒了。成绩虽然不理想，但我们正处于变革过程中——新球员、新教练和新教练组。

"作为一家俱乐部，我们曾经历过这种情况，知道需要时间，但只要我们全力以赴并团结一致，我确信一切都会好转，希望这场胜利能对抗诺维奇。"

海恩期待核心球员齐安·弗莱明能在今天下午卡罗路球场对阵金丝雀军团时上场。

这位荷兰前锋上赛季在英超联赛中攻入11球，据传在周二转会截止前是里尔、埃弗顿和利兹联的目标。

他因伤缺席了上周日对阵西布罗姆维奇的3-1失利，并在周三足总杯对阵布拉德福德的失利中仅出场10分钟。

但海恩表示："过去几天他训练状态很好，已做好出场准备。他将随队前往诺维奇。

"有人向我们提出报价，但价格不够高。齐安还在这里，我们正在努力留住他。"

迪奥尼西告诫沃特福德：从溃败中重新振作

作者：贾森·梅勒

亚历西奥·迪奥尼西敦促沃特福德在周中英甲彼得伯勒主场5-1惨败卡拉宝杯后重新振作——当意大利教练做出11人轮换的决定时，这一决策对沃特福德造成了代价。

沃特福德今日主场对阵西汉姆联，维卡拉奇路球场主教练迪奥尼西（左）表示：“我们面对的可能是联赛中最好的球队之一，这是每个人的机会。我们很幸运，总有新的一天。”

榜首的米尔沃尔被视为有望取得三连胜，他们将客场挑战南安普顿——但主教练亚历克斯·尼尔对圣徒队保持警惕。

这位苏格兰人（右）警告道：“前往圣玛丽体育场总是很困难，因为他们在这个级别拥有顶级阵容。”

米尔沃尔有望取得三连胜。

克里斯·科恩暂时搁置与史蒂文·舒马赫的友谊，后者率领的林肯城将客场挑战博尔顿。帝国队主教练科恩曾在斯托克城与舒马赫的前任共事，他表示：“史蒂文是好朋友，我们一直有联系，但本周没有。”

查尔顿在联赛仅剩的三支100%不败球队中力保全胜，他们将在主场迎战垫底的普雷斯顿。

布里斯托城将在主场寻求本赛季首胜，对手是朴茨茅斯。

连败的德比郡至今未能保持清白之身，他们将面对英冠最具威胁的前锋阵容之一，对手是斯旺西。拉姆斯主教练约翰·尤斯泰斯表示：“我们必须开始让对手更难得分。”

谢菲联本周第二次前往南威尔士，希望在上周六客场战平斯旺西后继续前进，他们将挑战同样渴望联赛首胜的卡迪夫城。

朱利安·斯特凡认为伊伍德公园球场的场地规模将为他不败的女王公园巡游者带来挑战，后者将客场挑战布莱克本流浪者。

该队主教练表示：“他们的球场很大，防守空间更大，进攻空间也更大。”

Born to rock 'n' roll

Cruz Beckham, Moses Martin, Gene Gallagher and Violet Grohl are hoping for stardom in their own right after playing Reading and Leeds this weekend

GENE GALLAGHER

Nepo baby bonanza at weekend festivals

BY FRANCES MILLAR

IT IS the nepo baby takeover of Reading and Leeds as the offspring of some of music's biggest names prepare to prove there is more to them than a famous surname.

Cruz Beckham, Gene Gallagher, Moses Martin and Violet Grohl will all take to the stage this weekend, following in the footsteps of their superstar parents – albeit with a helping hand up the showbiz ladder.

Cruz, 21, son of Spice Girl Lady Victoria Beckham and former England captain Sir David Beckham, plays Reading today and Leeds tomorrow with his band The Breakers.

Their six-track EP Wear & Tear, released this month, has drawn favourable comparisons with the guitar-driven Britpop of the 1990s, including Oasis.

It even features a track called Wannabe, cheekily sharing its title with his mum's 1996 Spice Girls smash. After facing accusations that he was trading on his famous parents' name to launch his music career, Cruz cheekily hit back: "Jesus was also a nepo baby."

Revellers

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher's son Gene, 25, fronts Villanelle, who played Reading yesterday and play Leeds today. The singer and guitarist has been performing with the band since 2024, with their debut single Hinge arriving last year.

His dad's band headlined the dual festival in 2000.

Meanwhile, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's son Moses, 20, will perform at both festivals with his band People I've Met – 27 years after Coldplay performed there.

Completing the rock royalty line-up is Dave Grohl's daughter Violet, 20, who has followed her Foo Fighters frontman father into music and released her debut album Be Sweet To Me in May.

She will also perform at both Reading and Leeds this weekend. Around 200,000 revellers are expected at the two festivals.

The Foo Fighters played their very first UK gig and festival appearance at the Reading Festival in 1995.

'We welcome commitment to neutrality' Campaigners on PM stance

FROM PAGE ONE

dying was considered. His stance comes days after terminally ill dad Phil Newby urged the Prime Minister to meet him and hear at first hand why the law must be changed.

MPs are set to debate and vote on the bill in a fortnight.

A spokesman for the Dignity in Dying campaign said: "We welcome the Prime Minister reaffirming the government's neutrality and his commitment not to unduly influence this debate. MPs deserve the opportunity to vote on the basis of their own judgment, as they did when the Commons gave this bill its majority before a handful of unelected peers blocked it.

"The majority of Britons want law change. Dying people are suffering against their wishes, taking matters into their own hands or spending their final months fighting for a law the Commons has already backed.

"On September 11, MPs have the chance to finish what they started."

If MPs back the bill for a second time, the House of Lords will not be able to block it again.

Personal

Mr Burnham told the Parliamentary Labour Party that MPs must be able to reach their own conclusions.

He wrote: "This is an incredibly important and personal debate. There is no single right position and I have deep respect for MPs on all sides. We have all had different life experiences that will inform how we see this issue and everyone must be given the space to arrive at their own decision."

The bill would allow adults in England and

Wales with fewer than six months to live to apply for an assisted death with the approval of two doctors and an expert panel. Mr Burnham said he wants “every view” respected and added: “I have taken the decision that it is most appropriate for me not to vote at second reading.” Labour MP

Phil Newby has MND

Lauren Edwards took on the bill after it ran out of time earlier this year, having been introduced in late 2024 by her colleague Kim Leadbeater.

It fell in the Lords after peers tabled hundreds of amendments and were accused of effectively talking it out.

Labour leader Mr Burnham was not an MP then so could not vote on that occasion. Mr Newby, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease 12 years ago, has urged the PM to go further than the bill and to set out a plan to improve palliative care in parallel with the legalisation of assisted dying.

He said: "Nobody would expect the PM to influence this debate. It is a matter of conscience for MPs."

Mr Newby went on: "What I'm asking him to do is put his money where his mouth is, by making a commitment and a concrete plan to fix palliative care over the next five years.

Principle

"This will give MPs greater confidence to support assisted dying. It will also be a win-win for everyone."

Mr Burnham, who has indicated he changed his view over the years to support the principle of assisted dying, said in July it is “very challenging” to debate it amid gaps in care provision.

Ms Edwards applauded his confirmation that the government will remain neutral and MPs can vote according to their conscience, rather than along party lines. She said: "I welcome his view that everyone's views should be treated with dignity and respect."

EXCLUSIVE BY AARON NEWBURY Political Correspondent

PEOPLE who live alone could face higher council tax bills under Labour amid growing speculation that ministers are considering changes to the single-person discount.

Critics described the prospect of abolishing the relief as a “widow’s tax”, warning it could leave millions of single-person households paying hundreds more each year.

Chancellor John Healey has indicated the government plans to reform the council tax system. Senior Labour figures repeatedly declined to rule out changes to discounts.

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride warned it would be a “grave injustice” to force widows and widowers to pay higher council tax as they grieve the loss of a partner.

He said: "John Healey needs to find a way to cover Burnham's unfunded spending commitments, but he must not implement a Widow's Tax to do that.

"Working people have already been made to pay the price for Labour's profligacy. To go back for more by punishing those who live alone, including widows and widowers, would be a grave injustice.

"The government must follow the Conservatives' lead and find savings from the welfare budget, to cut taxes and lift the cost of living for ordinary families."

The single-person discount cuts council tax bills by 25% for households with just one adult. It provides significant financial support to pensioners and people who live alone after the death of a spouse or partner.

Mr Healey told Sky News that he and Mr Burnham were “evolving council tax” – bringing in new bands for expensive homes.

Threat of higher council tax bills for people who live on their own

Labour has described the proposed levy as a “mansion tax”, but critics warn it could disproportionately affect homeowners in the South, as well as pensioners whose properties have risen in value.

Mr Healey added: "The first priority for me, the first duty I would say for any Chancellor is fiscal discipline. What does that mean? It is the bedrock of economic stability. Andy Burnham and I have said in lockstep, we will keep control of government spending, will hit the fiscal rules, and that will be the bedrock for the Budget that I bring in, in two months' time."

He continued: "We're evolving council tax, we are bringing in a top band for those who have extremely valuable properties."

In further comments, he said: "Some people call it a mansion tax, but this is a top rate that's not there at the moment and it will help make the system just a bit fairer because at the moment you've got some people paying the same council tax in different parts of the country for hugely different properties."

FEARS OF PLANNED BUDGET RAID

Government could axe single-person discount

But Shadow Housing Secretary James Cleverly warned “millions of people rely on the single-person council tax discount”, predicting it “could be under serious threat”.

He added: "Labour never tire of finding

Council Tax Bill Annual Bill

new ways to hike your taxes. They have already removed the discount for their new council tax surcharge, and now single young professionals, widows and others could be in the firing line too for their main council tax bill.

“Meanwhile, council tax is soaring across the board on Labour’s watch, with the average family in a Band D property paying a cumulative £2,306 extra by 2030-31.

“Labour are turning council tax into a crude wealth tax, abandoning the long standing principle that it should be a charge to pay for local services.”

The single-person discount is worth £598 a year on the average home.

Some 8.6 million households in England get the discount, with 89% living in band A to D homes.

Housing Secretary Angela Rayner declined to rule out abolishing the discount when questioned about the policy in 2024.

She subsequently resigned from Keir Starmer's government amid controversy over her tax affairs but has since returned to her old post. She is working with Mr Healey, who previously supported proposals that would have affected council tax discounts.

Backtracking

While in opposition in 2012, Mr Healey tabled an amendment seeking to end automatic council tax reductions, a change that would include the single-person discount.

The government refused to comment, but it is understood there are no current plans to scrap the discount. However, Westminster insiders said while it was not “currently” planned, there were concerns it could be introduced at the autumn Budget. Mr Healey will deliver his first Budget on October 28, when he will set out tax and spending plans for the coming year.

He is expected to be unable to find the money to fund his own demand for the UK to spend 3% of GDP on defence.

The minister previously resigned from Mr Starmer's government over the issue, insisting it would leave the UK less safe.

But reports this week suggest he is not prepared to meet the commitment himself.

Shadow Defence Secretary James Cartlidge said it was “extraordinary that he is backtracking on the very pledge which sealed the fate of the last PM”.

He added: "Russia doesn't work to Treasury timetables, and we can't wait for a spending review to keep Britain safe."

COMMENT ANDY PRESTON Former elected mayor of Middlesbrough

MORE arrests. More deaths. No one yet knows how all the recent events in Middlesbrough are connected. But decent working-class people know who's paying the price: they are.

I spent four years as Middlesbrough's elected mayor and many more working with charities in its poorest areas. I know the communities. I've seen what decent citizens have to put up with.

Most people on our council estates work hard. Despite being in areas lazily labelled deprived, many of the homes are beautiful with gardens that are tended with pride. But among them is a hardcore who live by completely different rules.

Drug dealers, burglars and serial offenders make lives hell. I've met families too frightened to speak to the police...some are even scared of calling

Crimestoppers anonymously.

As mayor, I massively expanded CCTV because we needed evidence to get criminals - the underclass used industrial grinders to cut down the masts. When sturdier replacements went up, vehicles were used to ram and topple them.

Another youth club isn't the answer. More police, faster court processing and prison are.

When criminals think there's little chance of being caught, everything else becomes academic.

Make more arrests - and faster.

But arresting people achieves little if an overwhelmed criminal justice system takes years to get someone to court. As for letting them out of prison earlier, the madness of that is plain to see.

We need more prison spaces immediately. China would just build them. Why can't we? To the critics of incarceration: sometimes prison works for one simple reason - the criminal isn't on the streets.

A violent thug in prison isn't terrorising the family next door. A drug dealer serving a proper sentence isn't recruiting kids on the estate. We've spent too long considering crime through the eyes of the criminal - talking about poverty, addiction and mental health.

All of those can matter. But we've got to ditch the empathy and start looking after the neighbours who play by the rules.

It isn't the rich or the politicians who suffer at the hands of our underclass. The wealthy can move to safer areas: working-class families often don't have

that choice. The people most exposed to crime are often those least able to escape it.

That's what makes our tolerance of crime one of the great class injustices in modern Britain.

Decent people get up for work, pay their taxes and obey the law.

Then they have to sit back as others deal drugs, intimidate and cause mayhem. Even worse, some of the very people terrorising communities are being housed and

supported by taxpayers living alongside them. Of course we should try to rehabilitate offenders.

We must tackle addiction and help people into work. People can change – but none of that means decent families should suffer.

First, we protect the public. Get more police on to these streets, arrest those making lives hell, build enough prison cells and keep dangerous and prolific criminals away from decent people for much longer.

Working-class Britain has tolerated the intolerable for long enough. Decent people aren't the problem. Stop asking them to put up with it.

'It's totally lawless... police issues, now they want to

FAMILIES trapped by an escalating gang war amid a series of apparent tit-for-tat attacks between rival criminals fear police reinforcements being sent to restore order could spark fresh chaos instead.

Armed officers from across northern England are among hundreds of extra police being dispatched to Middlesbrough.

It follows a series of incidents in the area including a head-on crash with a police car that killed PCs Matthew Blades, 37, and Tom Clough, 38, and all five young men in the other vehicle, said to be travelling on the wrong carriageway of the A66.

Untouchable

Properties in Middlesbrough have been rammed in reported tit-for-tat attacks and in nearby Grangetown on Wednesday a house fire claimed two lives, though police said this was not connected to the A66 tragedy.

Some residents, however, fear the influx of officers could spark clashes with balaclava-clad thugs, thieves and drug dealers.

And council chiefs admit they may need more help – as many fear gangs on the estates are seen as “untouchable”.

Middlesbrough residents said they are "sick of the crime and the lawless way these kids carry on", with motorbikes regularly

seen "flying about carrying kids in balaclavas". One said: "It's totally lawless. The police have ignored the problems in the area for years and now they want to come in heavy-handed. It won't go down well."

Another local said: "It's gang warfare. This has been going on for years and now it has escalated."

On Thursday night, a crowd set fire to a number of cars as part of a tribute to one of the young men who died in the A66 crash. Police said it was deemed safest to let the torched vehicles in Thursday's incident burn out, as they condemned the stunt as "completely unacceptable".

PC Blades, left, and PC Clough, right, were killed in the head-on crash on the A66

The incident in Haswell, some 20 miles north of the crash site, was understood to have been during a vigil to remember Michael Cahill, 23, who was travelling in the VW Passat alongside Cole Worthy, 17, Theo Rae, 17, Makai Saddington, 18, and 23-year-old Jakub Matusiak.

Yesterday detectives confirmed a house fire that killed seven-year-old Valentina Foster and her aunt Natalie McDonald, 34, and injured four others in nearby Grangetown on Wednesday was not being linked to the A66 crash.

Assistant Chief Constable Dave Sutherland said: "In the same week, we have also seen a tragic house fire on Wednesday in which two people lost their lives, which is also understandably impacting the force and our local communities.

"At this time, we are not linking this incident to the fatal collision on the A66.

"Since these two horrific events, the reality of policing in Cleveland and the levels of violence suffered in our communities has come under the spotlight on a national level.

"Brave officers face significant challenges day in day out, but I want to reassure the public that we will remain unwavering in our efforts to tackle criminals and protect our communities."

Home Office minister Anna Turley, who is also the MP for nearby Redcar, said: "We've got over 200 extra officers from across the country. There's a huge amount of resource coming in.

"They're doing everything they can to keep us safe and they know the incidents.

"There's a huge amount of intelligence and data that's behind all these investiga-"

tions and actions. They're very well prepared in terms of public order, so I feel reassured that they will be on top of any incidents that we may face in the coming days and weeks."

The minister said she had written to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner asking for a zero-tolerance approach to dangerous and anti-social behaviour, and “for every appropriate power available to be used to protect our communities”.

Unacceptable

Durham Police Assistant Chief Constable Jon McAdam said yesterday: "We utterly condemn anyone who would use [the A66 crash] tragedy as an excuse for disorder and expect the overwhelming majority of the public would join us in doing so.

"The behaviour we saw at last night's gathering was completely unacceptable."

The extra officers have come from a number of forces, including the National Crime Agency, and are assisting as police continue to investigate the blaze in Grangetown.

Middlesbrough and Thornaby East MP Andy McDonald told Times Radio yesterday: "This is terrorism, and we have got to have an appropriate response to deal with the people who are causing such mayhem in our communities and to allow people to lead their peaceful lives."

Former Middlesbrough mayor Andy Preston said: "I think what we're seeing now is the product of years of being soft.

"There's a sense that the criminals have been in control of some streets.

"There's a sense that the criminals are untouchable and there's a sense that the system – whether that's the police or the council or the court system – just doesn't care."

Cleveland Police said the number arrested in its investigation has risen to 24, with several charged with serious offences and a number of offenders recalled to prison. Latest arrests include four men – aged 35, 25, 40, 21 – being quizzed over criminal damage with intent to endanger life, arson and possession with intent to supply class-A drugs.

Middlesbrough FC asked fans to pay their respects to the tragic A66 crash officers ahead of the team's game against West Bromwich Albion today.

The King has reportedly written to the families of PC Blades and PC Clough offering his condolences.

A royal source said: "His Majesty was shocked by the devastating events and wrote personally to the families of the police officers involved to express his deepest sympathies for their loss."

Worst crime rate in nation

THE area covered by Cleveland Police, which includes Middlesbrough, has the highest crime rate in England and Wales.

It ranks top for homicides, sex offences and knife crimes across the two nations.

There were 123.4 recorded crimes per 1,000 population in the year to March 2026, according the latest available Home Office figures.

This is way ahead of the force with the next highest rate, West Yorkshire which is on 107.9, as well as the largest forces - Greater Manchester (103.7) and the Metropolitan Police (101).

The rate for the whole of England and Wales in the year to March stood at 84.7 per 1,000 population.

Cleveland Police had a homicide rate of 21.7 per million people in the year to March - higher than any other force.

The rate for the whole of England and Wales was 8.1 per million. Cleveland also has

the highest rate for shoplifting, criminal damage and arson, violence with injury, burglary and sexual offences.

It has the second highest rate for all offences involving violence against the person and for all theft offences.

123.4 crimes per 1,000 people in Cleveland. Highest in England and Wales

There were 157.2 knife offences per 100,000 people recorded by Cleveland Police in the year to March – again, the highest rate of any force.

This was up from 151.8 in the previous 12 months.

Four local authority areas are covered by Cleveland Police - Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees.

The force had 1,503 full-time equivalent officers as of March 31 2026, ranking it 31st out of the 43 territorial forces in England and Wales by size.

FLASH FLOODS: DEATH

Happy Brits ready

now lost in flood

THE last photo of a British family missing in the Nepal flash floods shows them smiling with other happy tourists before tragedy struck – as the death toll hit 567.

Among at least 33 missing Britons is A-level student Spandan Sahu, 18, who was in Nepal with his dad Santosh Sahu, 46, boss of a pharmaceutical tech firm, mum Surabhi Manmath Padhy, 44, and sister Syna Kumari Sahu, 13.

They can be seen standing and laughing by their bus amid the stunning Himalayas with their tour group, who are all mostly Britons. Spandan had finished his A-levels at Royal Grammar School, Guildford, Surrey, and a school spokesman said: "Our thoughts, love and deepest sympathies are with all of the families of anyone affected."

husband, Santosh Sahu, who were on a pilgrimage with Alpine Eco Trek.

Villages were swept away after a glacial collapse sent a 600ft wall of mud, rock and ice along the Nepal and Tibet border on Wednesday, leaving 1,924 people missing.

The Chinese military said the floodwaters travelled at 165ft a second, leaving mud 4.9ft deep. Nepal and China have issued warnings about the risk of a second wave of flooding.

A lake formed by debris blocking a river at the flood site was rising and at risk of bursting Efforts to locate those missing have been complicated by the destruction of dozens of bridges and almost 25 miles of roads.

Nelly Chhetri, 18, a former grammar school pupil in Maidstone, and her mother,

Yashika Basnet, 56, an NHS worker, are confirmed as missing. Nelly's cousin Nickie Chhetri said: "Nelly is so caring. Her mother is caring too. All we can do is wait for updates."

Deepesh Patel said his parents Bipin Patel, 66, and Mala Patel, 60, of Coventry, were on a pilgrimage to the Hindu site of Mount Kailash.

The family last heard from the couple, who run a tutoring business, on Tuesday, and their last known location was in the Gyirong area. His brother, Anant Patel, said: "The ongoing lack of certainty is causing further distress."

Tour operator Leaf Holidays said two British couples, Tara and Babar Gurung, and Thaneswar and Tejkumari Gurung, were among 55 people missing while crossing the border in the Rasuwagadhi-Kerun area.

The Trekkers' Society said nine Brits were among those unaccounted for – four males, aged 14, 50, 50, and 54, and five women, aged 40, 46, 50, 50, and 53.

Other British nationals missing reportedly include three men aged 65, 64 and 52, and seven women aged 44, 47, 51, 60, 63, 63, and 65. Kumar Adhikari, manager of Alpine EcoTrek, said he was in contact with his guides until 8.40am, when their phones went offline, at which point they would have been inside Tibet's immigration office.

The manager, who said he was fielding thousands of calls from UK families, said: "We were hoping inside it was safe. But the video came from China's government which [showed] even Tibet's side was hit."

Tour operator Kailash Journeys said it had not been able to account for seven UK nationals – five women and two men aged

Ruined homes on the Bhotekoshi River

Glacier fell with force of earthquake

ANALYSIS NADA FARHOUD Environment Journalist

FOR centuries, ice has clung to the sheer slopes of the Himalayas, helping to shape the highest mountains on Earth.

The area has more fresh frozen water than anywhere outside the Arctic and Antarctic, earning it the title of the "Third Pole". But as the planet heats up, this glacier landscape, which one billion people rely on as a water source, is changing at speed.

Glaciers are shrinking, snow is melting and permafrost - permanently frozen ground that can act like a glue - is beginning to thaw.

The devastating flash flood that ripped through communities in Nepal and Tibet has raised fears of another consequence of the climate crisis: That global heating could be making the world's great mountain ranges increasingly unstable.

Satellite imagery suggests a huge glacier collapse high in the Himalayas triggered the deadly torrent of mud, water, rock and ice that tore along the Bhotekoshi River on Wednesday. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake was initially blamed for the collapse.

Thawing

But scientists now believe the opposite happened, and the seismic waves were caused by the collapse as a vast wall of ice and rock broke away from the northern slope of Langtang Lirung, a 7,000-metre peak. Exactly what triggered the collapse is being investigated. But two days earlier ground temperatures nearby hit their highest in two years, says Dr Hamish Pritchard, of the British Antarctic Survey.

"These high temperatures would have weakened the snowpack, filled crevasses with water and thawed the bonds that hold these glaciers in place," he said.

Whether global heating was the immediate trigger or not, the wider transformation of the Himalayas is unmistakable. Dr Simon Cook, an expert in glacial hazards, says: "The permafrost that is holding some mountainsides together is warming and thawing. So you are going to get more landslides, debris flows, glacial meltwater, lake outbursts, glacier collapses."

As temperatures climb, the risks are growing for millions of people living beneath the world's highest mountains. But the consequences will not stop there. What happens to the "Third Pole" will be felt far beyond the Himalayas.

Reform has lost its commanding lead and is looking for a conference reset as it eyes elections and faces seriously rejuvenated rivals

STIFF gin and tonic in hand, Nigel Farage leans back in his chair, puffs out his cheeks and gives a raspy laugh.

"This'll do the job," he says, revelling in the afterglow of being given rockstar treatment by thousands of adoring supporters.

We were backstage immediately after the Reform UK leader's big speech at last year's party conference, and the country's most influential politician of the past decade or so appeared pleased with himself.

Unzipping a garment carrier, he told me he'd planned to wear a striking new teal-coloured suit for the big occasion but decided to save it for another event later in the day.

He then took a call from a journalist planning to run an uncomfortable story about him before hanging up and letting out an expletive that would make a sailor blush. Another slug of gin and the smile was back again.

It's no wonder Mr Farage was oozing confidence. His party was riding high in the polls

'The shine appears to be wearing off. Some even say the wheels are coming loose too'

- peaking at $34\%$ in some - no one was really talking about his right-wing rival Kemi Badenoch while Keir Starmer and his Cabinet were embroiled in a freebie scandal.

Reform appeared unstoppable. Their stellar ascent from populist upstarts to the summit of British politics was astonishing.

That was 12 months ago.

Almost 365 days later and the shine appears to be wearing off. Some even say the wheels are coming loose too.

Reform isn't clapped out yet, far from it.

The party's stunning performance in May's local, Welsh and Scottish elections reaffirmed that they are a major force in a fragmented political scene.

But their polling has slumped to around 24%, Mrs Badenoch is now hailed as the country's most popular political leader while it's Mr Farage who is engulfed in scandal – over donations.

That led to him resigning as an MP in July, triggering a by-election in Clacton in which he defeated Count Biface, among others, to regain the seat. He may well have to do it all over again in the autumn if the Parliamentary watchdog finds that he breached the MPs' code of conduct for failing to properly declare a £5million gift from billionaire backer Christopher Harborne.

Aside from Clacton, Reform failed to win two other by-elections this year where it had serious aspirations of victory – Gorton and Denton (won by the Greens) and Makerfield (in which Andy Burnham was victorious).

Rumours of a brewing internal civil war also erupted during the summer with a very public row between Zia Yusuf and the Reform-supporting political commentator Tim Montgomerie, a Tory defector, who has now been suspended from the party.

The political landscape has changed dramatically as well. Starmer - his dull,

plodding style made him an easy target for Reform – is no longer Prime Minister having been ousted by the more PR-savvy Burnham. And Robert Jenrick is no longer a Conservative following his dramatic defection in January – he now holds the second most important job in Reform, that of “shadow chancellor”.

That's a lot of change in a short time.

So what has gone wrong with the party, which also had to grapple with the tragic and truly horrific murder of Reform spokeswoman Ann Widde-combe, and can it regain its mojo?

This year's party conference, while not make-or-break, is a significant moment for Reform, a chance to get back on track following a rollercoaster 2026.

One key party figure said: "Like all good champions you've got to be able to take a punch, to roll with them and fight back. This is an opportunity to do that, to get back on the front foot."

Aside from the recent tumult, Reform has been pumping out serious policy announcements in the past few weeks.

There have been beefy measures aimed at slashing the welfare budget, pri-

Farage in teal at 2025 conference oritising British workers for social housing, boosting apprenticeships and helping small businesses.

Some “major” policies are expected to be unveiled as the Reform jamboree descends on Birmingham’s NEC next week with more than 12,000 expected to attend.

The Reform insider, with knowledge of the event, added: "These announcements show that we are a serious party with serious policies. This is what the conference will be all about. It is going to be a major moment for the party."

They are all designed to signal that Reform people are Britons who work,

father than immigrants who don't. The party also appears to be slightly

its pitch. Its original conference slogan – “It’s Time For Reform” – has apparently been ditched.

Instead, the party will focus on the first 100 days of a Nigel Farage government. That includes announcing more shadow cabinet roles –

Political landscape has changed dramatically in 12 months for Nigel Farage, main, with Andy Burnham new in No10 and Kemi Badenoch turning the Tories' fortunes around

including current MPs and other “high-profile, well-known” figures from outside of politics. Reform is preparing hard for a general election it believes could come as soon as next year.

A source said: “Nigel has always believed there will be an early election and has been focusing a lot of his efforts on getting the party ready for when that moment comes.”

This includes a massive push on Facebook to woo voters. "It worked in Clacton for the

Reform are targeting 375 seats at the next election, with 125 the 'absolute basement'

by-election. He won more votes and the vote share went up," they added.

Reform's popularity is helped by its, and Farage's, enormous reach on social media.

He dwarfs all UK party leaders with around 7.6 million followers across Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok and YouTube.

The party's high command also remains bullish about its electoral prospects.

Despite the fragmentation of British politics they are still targeting 375 seats at the next election, with 125 the “absolute basement” amount. Candidates for the first batch of highly winnable seats will be selected and announced soon. But there remains a nagging argument about whether the Right should unite to defeat Labour.

Mrs Badenoch reignited the blue touch paper last weekend when ruling out doing a “monstrous” deal with Reform – even in the event of a hung parliament.

And a few feathers were ruffled on Monday when it was reported that Italian PM Giorgia Meloni told her not to make a deal with Mr Farage.

It was claimed that Ms Meloni urged Mrs Badenoch to "be your own woman and stand your ground" against Reform.

However, the following day it emerged the Italians had pushed back on the PM's alleged comments. A party official insisted Ms Meloni has no hostility to Mr Farage or Reform, but does not intend to get involved in domestic political dynamics or the relationships between British parties.

Ms Badenoch's arch nemesis Mr Jenrick blasted his former boss for "living in a fantasy world" following her chat over coffee with Ms Meloni in Rome, and said Reform is not interested in entering a pact with the "busted flush" Tories.

It deliciously sets the scene for a three-way fight for Britain.

Reform will hope its conference will be scandal free and can provide the springboard to greater success in the autumn and beyond.

It will need to be as they have a shiny new Labour leader to deal with as well as an increasingly impressive Mrs Badenoch.

Buckle up! It's going to be a fun ride.

Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Hatherop Castle School

Schools fit for a prince and princess

BY REBECCA RUSSELL Deputy Royal Editor

AFTER six years in the US, the Sussexes have returned to the UK with their children Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.

While details of the family's new home will not be revealed for security reasons, it is known that they have secured a base outside London.

This is thought to be in the Cotswolds – an area well known to Harry as the King has a home at Highgrove near Tetbury, Glos.

While they plan to spend “extended periods” in the UK, the couple have enrolled their children in a UK school.

Though they have not publicly named their choice as their protracted security battle with the Home Office continues, there are some elite private schools in and around the Cotswolds which would surely be the perfect setting for Archie to enter Year 3 and Lilibet to enter Year 1.

HATHEROP CASTLE SCHOOL, CIRENCESTER

NESTLED within the beautiful rolling Cotswolds countryside of Gloucestershire, this 16th century Tudor castle was extensively restored during the mid-19th century in a striking Gothic Revival style.

The school offers an expansive extracurricular program that features traditional clubs alongside musical theatre, Lego robotics, mindfulness, enamelling and mountain biking.

Though lacking direct ties to the modern Royal Family, the estate boasts a rich royal history, having once been leased to the exiled Maharaja Duleep Singh, a close friend of Queen Victoria, who later granted grace-and-favour royal properties to

his daughters.

Famous for educating author Nancy Mitford, one of the famous Mitford sisters, the institution charges fees of between £6,180 and £7,555 per term, with the school's uniform costs ranging from £550 to £750.

Charles tribute as Norway mourns its king

BY JASMINE CAREY Royal Reporter, in Oslo

HUGE crowds descended on Oslo's Royal Palace yesterday to mourn the death of King Harald V.

The late royal died aged 89 in hospital after a long illness. He is succeeded by his son, King Haakon VIII.

King Charles wrote of his "profound sadness" at the death of "my dear cousin".

He added: "King Harald served his people with unwavering dedication, guiding Norway through times of great change with warmth and humility.

"As Norway mourns the loss of so towering a figure, my whole family join in remembering a much-loved kinsman and friend whose kindness, compassion and deep sense of duty echoed from across the sea and across the decades."

There was an outpouring of grief across Norway over the loss of Harald - who was on the throne for 35 years. In Oslo, thousands wept and left a sea of flowers King Harald was a cousin of King Charles

and Norwegian flags outside the palace. One woman said: "It feels like losing a grandfather in a way. It's very special to see so many together here, given how difficult this day is. We don't normally come together like this. It feels very special and really sad."

Palace windows were draped in black fabric.

A man in the crowd said: "He's been King as long as I've been alive. But coming here, I also feel a great deal of hope for Norway. Seeing people of all ages gather around the royal family is powerful.

"It reminds us why symbols that unite rather than divide us matter so much."

King Haakon, 53, held his first cabinet meeting at the palace to proclaim his accession just hours after his father died yesterday morning.

He was joined by his daughter, the new heir. Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 22, will one day be Norway's first Queen Regnant in over 600 years.

Assisted dying vote in hands of MPs once more

THE message from Prime Minister Andy Burnham is clear. MPs are free to make their own decision about whether to proceed with the assisted dying legislation that they have approved once already.

There had been speculation that Mr Burnham would seek to block laws giving terminally ill people the option of ending their lives at a time of their choosing.

But the Prime Minister has instead said that he will stay out of the debate, so that there can be a genuinely free vote.

This is the right course of action, and MPs must now make a choice.

The Express has backed a change in the law with our Give Us Our Last Rights campaign. We believe people facing the end of their lives should be allowed a dignified and pain-free death, if that is their wish.

The arguments against assisted dying are made in good faith by people who believe it would be a change for the worse, and they have every right to be heard.

However, the fact is that the Commons has already backed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill once, and it was blocked by opponents in the unelected House of Lords.

This time, the Lords is unlikely to be able to stop the legislation.

We hope that MPs will once again conclude that allowing assisted dying, for those who want it, is the compassionate choice.

Burdens of living alone

BRITAIN'S cost of living crisis continues for millions of people across the country. Energy bills, transport costs and checkout prices have risen faster than incomes, leaving many of us feeling that much poorer than we used to.

One major burden is council tax. Fees charged by local authorities have risen above inflation year after year, taking up an ever-growing proportion of our income.

It means that axing the single person's discount would be a hammer blow, pushing additional costs on to people who may not be able to afford it.

Many of those affected will be elderly, as widows and widowers will be among those told to pay more.

They include some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham no doubt has a long list of things he would like to achieve, and many will involve spending taxpayers' money.

But the Prime Minister and Chancellor John Healey must not expect those who live alone to shoulder the burden.

They are often the people least able to afford it.

Our chips in hot water

OUR Great British spud is under threat as hot weather has caused potatoes to shrivel. Farmers have warned that chips may become smaller, more expensive and in shorter supply.

Are 20mph zones for road safety or merely anti-car?

London tops the world's slowest capitals, with traffic travelling at a snail's pace

EMOTIONAL blackmail is the cynical tactic being used to shut down opposition to 20mph zones. The hated speed limit is spreading across the

country under the guise of road safety. In reality, it is raising millions of pounds for the state while allowing so-called progressives to impose their anti-car agenda.

Local leaders in Birmingham are the latest to jump on the (soon to be very slow moving) bandwagon, turning the city into a giant 20mph zone. All local roads will fall under the new speed limit and the council effectively admits its strategy is to make driving such a pain that people stop bothering.

The plan proudly declares: "Active travel – walking and cycling – will become how most people get around their locality most of the time. Cars will no longer dominate street life around homes and schools. A limit of 20mph will be standard on all local roads."

Driving at 20mph on clear roads feels unnatural in modern cars, is bad for business and the public overwhelmingly is against it. But the rag-tag coalition of Liberal Democrats, Greens and independents in Birmingham is unconcerned by such trivialities.

London has already been ruined under Labour's Sadiq Khan, with more than half of roads now going at a snail's pace. The speed limit was blamed for the city topping the list of the world's slowest capitals, according to mapping technology company TomTom.

NALYSIS of police figures found a staggering 236% increase in just two years of the number of speeding offences in 20mph zones. They jumped from 37,219 in 2023 to 125,133 in 2025, according to the Marshall Motor Group.

Highway robbery is no longer carried out by a masked man with a gun but a progressive politician with an agenda.

In Wales the backlash to the default 20mph speed limit was so furious the assembly was forced to water it down. A petition against the move was signed by half a million people and around 10,000 wrote to councils asking them to change the limits on local roads.

Local businesses reported much longer delivery times while care workers were given longer travel times, costing employers more.

Polling by YouGov a year after the policy was introduced found 72% of Welsh adults remained opposed to it.

Supporters insist the speed limit has a dramatic impact on road safety. TfL analysed 100 roads in London for incidents three years before and after the limits were changed. It found collisions and injuries went down by about a third and child deaths fell from a total of four

to one. But other road safety measures were also implemented in that time, which means it cannot be sure that the speed limit was the cause.

Meanwhile, a Queen's University Belfast study of 76 streets concluded that restricting speed limits to 20mph "doesn't seem to reduce road traffic collisions, casualties, or driver speed".

It shouldn't need to be said, but for the avoidance of doubt, every single road death is a tragedy and the loss of a child too unbearable to even contemplate. Reducing speed limits around schools or in particularly busy pedestrian areas is sensible and most reasonable people would support such measures. But drivers are being guilt-tripped into acceptance of something most do not want.

The tactic is summed up perfectly in the challenge laid out by Mat MacDonald, Birmingham's road safety commis-

'Blanket restrictions are about waging war on the motorist' sioner. He said: "Anyone who opposes these measures has to come up with a set of reasons, advantages, and benefits that eclipse the value of the human lives that will be saved by this."

HE REALITY is that so much of life has the potential for tragedy but

mitigations are looked at in the round. The logical conclusion of the saving lives argument is that we should abandon our cars altogether as not driving at all is safer than driving at 20mph.

If road safety really was the objective, the limits would only apply in daylight hours, not late at night when there is no one around, and not in low pedestrian areas.

But as the Tories say, the restrictions are about “waging war on motorists”. The party has promised to end blanket limits, restoring 30mph in areas where it makes sense.

Shadow transport secretary Richard Holden said widespread 20mph use “slows whole towns to a crawl while doing little for real safety”.

If progressives want to persist in imposing the limit, they should at least be honest about their motives and stop hiding behind human tragedy.

Life of Riley's here to stay

Picture: VALERIE MACON/AFP/GETTY

QUOTE of the week is from Reform's Lee Anderson who when asked what was the wokest thing he'd ever done, said: "I had vegetarian thoughts - once!"

CALL ME old fashioned but Andy Burnham arriving in Kyiv this week in a T-shirt was crass and disrespectful. Every dignitary who turned up to meet him was in a suit (one was even in ceremonial dress) so the least Burnham could have done was ditch his "I'm just a working man" garb and dress liked the Prime Minister he's supposed to be.

Zelensky is absolutely entitled to meet world leaders in his fatigues because it sends the message that while we're all just looking on, his people are actually fighting and dying.

Burnham, who looked overwhelmed and completely out of his depth, was trying - and failing - to look cool. Frankly, he was an embarrassment to us.

IF WE have to have the Sussexes back, can't we do what used to be called a cultural exchange - and send the Beckhams to the US. It would just be swapping one self-obsessed, publicity-mad couple for another.

DOES Andy Burnham know Britain has a £3trillion debt? I only ask because his latest crusade (after bus fares and homelessness) is to put cowboy builders out of business. Yes, it's a great idea but the bloke needs to realise he's running a country not a local council.

I've yet to hear him talk about how he plans to slash the £3tn debt, tackle illegal immigration, the £400bn benefits budget or the threat of Putin's "revenge" attack on Britain. I'm terrified it's because he has no idea.

OUR NHS, which we're told is the envy of the world, is teaching women in Barnstaple how to give birth in the back of a car because of "unsafe levels of staffing" at its maternity unit.

I don't care how unsafe maternity bosses think their unit is, it's nowhere near as unsafe as giving birth alone in the back of a car.

Our NHS gets £250bn a year, so why is it operating worse than most health services in the Third World? When did being treated in hospital corridors and giving birth in a car become what passes for healthcare in Broken Britain?

CELEBRITIES die every day but Dolly Parton's death matters in a way that few others do because we feel that we've lost one of the world's truly good souls. Yes, she was supremely talented and one of the world's greatest songwriters. Her philanthropy helped millions of adults but especially children and she's created jobs for tens of thousands of people.

But her greatest asset was her sheer goodness and her humour. She made all of us feel like we were connected to her. I just wish she'd had two or three more years because she'd have done more with them than the rest of us would do in fifty!

RESEARCH says the shingles jab could lower the risk of heart disease and strokes in the over 60s. So why is it only available on the NHS to people turning 65 and those between 70-79? Under 65s and over 80s would have to pay £500 privately and how many pensioners can afford that?

G ET THIS – human rights chiefs reckon Britain isn't generous enough to migrants. They say we should be giving them more benefits, in fact more of everything. This, in the week we heard how migrants at a former RAF base were living the life of Riley with their fully equipped gym, fitness rooms, football pitch, TV rooms and pools tables etc.

But no, the Equality And Human Rights Commission says despite the four-star hotels, the benefits, the free healthcare, the spending money, we're still nowhere near generous enough.

How dumb are these people? It's precisely because we're too damn generous that thousands of migrants keep coming.

It gets worse. This week we hear that one migrant every minute is granted the right to stay here. There's the 245,520 who've become British citizens in the last year to June and the other 199,628 who were granted Indefinite Leave To Remain (the highest in 16 years) which means it won't be long before they TOO qualify as British citizens.

But getting ILR means there's no rush as these migrants have already secured their seat on Britain's gravy train because it allows them to claim benefits AND apply for social housing along with the other 1.3m claiming £6bn in Universal Credit.

Add to that the fact that we've got 21,294 foreign criminals roaming our streets and Britain no longer looks or feels like Britain any more.

How long is this lunacy going to go on? We're literally being invaded. Our culture is being subsumed, our economy is buckling under the strain of looking after people who come here illegally yet STILL this government bleats that it can't get rid of them thanks to outdated European laws that are ignored by most other European countries. The bottom line now is that migrants who get here courtesy of our Border Patrol taxi service are here to stay as fewer than 10,000 have been deported since 2018.

But back to these foreign criminals who are flooding here from alien cultures. Every day we hear about another rape, another violent assault yet the liberal Left bedwetters excuse it saying it's because of the horrible lives they've led. Yeah right! They're talking about

SO, IT'S happened as most of us knew it would - we woke up this week to torrential rain and 42 flood alerts after a month's rain fell in one night.

So, for now, the climate doom-mongers have had to put a sock in it and the media is wondering how to function without "The End is Nigh" weather scare stories.

The good news is that my lawn's gone green again overnight. The bad news is I've had to get my jumpers out. All that's happened is autumn is on its way after a gloriously hot summer.

the Sudanese bloke who stabbed a woman 30 times with a bottle, the Eritrean monster who raped an old man and all the others who've raped or assaulted women and girls.

So, it's a sick joke now for the government to publish figures claiming credit for halving the number of migrants staying in hotels in a year. Because they're all still here and we're still paying for them. They're now just living in houses, flats and army bases, not hotels.

As for them claiming to have cut the asylum backlog – yes, well that happens when you dole out ILR to anyone who asks for it.

The fact is we all see what's happening on our streets. We see sex and violent crime rocketing at the hands of migrants. We see communities where women and girls are terrified to go out. We see our way of life dying before our eyes, yet we have a PM who hasn't got the guts to stop it.

This government cares more about the rights and welfare of illegal migrants who've done sod all for this country than it does about the British people it expects to pay for them.

Even now we have no clue of the real scale of crime committed by small boat migrants because the government has launched legal action to hide it.

The British people have paid a hellish price for this government's – and let's not forget the Left-wing judiciary's – determination not to get rid of illegal migrants and criminals. It feels like they're conspiring not just to destroy Britain but our way of life. And as long as Labour is in power – there's not a damn thing we can do to stop it.

ACCIO SOME COURAGE AND MAKE HARRY POTTER'S NEW OFFERING A MAGICAL SUCCESS

THE 24-CARAT wimp that is Nicholas Hoult quit his role in the new Harry Potter TV series after a backlash from fans and trans activists.

The Skins actor claimed his sudden departure was down to “scheduling conflicts” but not even his own fans are buying it, saying the excuse is lame and that just taking the role was a betrayal of the trans community.

They're also saying the fact he's quit changes nothing because just accepting the role shows he doesn't stand with trans people – who hate JK Rowling.

Now the part of Gilderoy Lockhart has gone to the "delighted" Game of Thrones star, Kit Harington, who doesn't care what the trans mob think.

But some of the pro-trans lot really are idiots – not just because they believe someone with a penis can be a woman. These zealots preach tolerance and respect, yet some are among the most aggressive, intolerant, disrespectful people on the planet who'll destroy the lives and careers of people with different views to them.

I really hope that despite their best efforts to trash this series it's a roaring success and those involved get richer and even more famous.

RIOT police were seen near fires and a tent camp as tensions rose in Ceuta weeks after 70,000 migrants stormed the Spanish coastal outpost in North Africa.

Crowds took to the sea to reach the autonomous city that is surrounded by Morocco, sparking fear among residents and concern in EU nations about the Schengen Area open borders policy.

Most returned to Morocco but up to 10,000 have stayed, many in beach camps - enraging locals who rely on tourism to survive.

Police arrested 12 Moroccans after a military vehicle with four soldiers was stoned in the early hours by dozens of migrants.

Protesters staged a sit-in to

Demonstrators waving Spanish flags chanted "They should leave" and "Out with the Red Cross".

Police later charged protesters at a beach after they moved into the area where migrants had been sleeping, burning belongings.

Officers had fired tear gas late on Wednesday to stop trouble between protesters and migrants.

Kissy Chandiramani, Ceuta's finance councillor, said: "Tension ...is very high..we feel abandoned." ● Some 494 migrants reached the UK in seven dinghies on Thursday - the first successful Channel crossings for 10 days.

Convicts could be freed after 6th of sentence

PRISONERS may go free after just a sixth of their term to serve the rest of it at home in plans reportedly being looked at to tackle jail overcrowding.

The Ministry of Justice is considering reviving home detention curfews, where inmates are let out early but must wear an electronic tag.

Inmates currently become eligible for the scheme halfway through their sentence, but this could be reduced to as little as a sixth under changes due to come into force in October.

Backlash

Justice Secretary Alex Norris is scrambling to free up prison space amid a backlash over Labour's early release scheme and the prospect of two killers of PC Andrew Harper walking free.

Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy told The Telegraph: "Most criminals are now getting out after serving just a third of their sentence, and to let them go home after

BY KATIE HARRIS Senior Political Correspondent

serving only a sixth would be an outrage. Labour should focus on using existing space, expanding capacity and building more prisons, not rushing out more half-baked plans.

"While we await the detail, it is hard to see this as anything other than yet more proof that Labour are ideologically anti-prison."

Mr Norris, inset, is due to publish his review of the release plan next week. Andy Burnham has excluded rapists and child sex abusers from the move and he is under pressure to block PC Harper's killers.

The MoJ said: "We are fast-tracking a plan to keep more of the most serious offenders behind bars.

"We share the public's anger that these options are even being considered, after we inherited a prison system on the brink of collapse."

Gladys Knight seen in 2023

Gladys: I'm cutting back on my show nights at 82

BY SEAN O'GRADY

GLADYS Knight says she will step back from performing as she moves "into the next stage" of her career and life.

The Midnight Train To Georgia singer, 82, had toured this year but now plans fewer shows, after a seven-decade career.

She said: "After much soul searching, I've decided that I will be easing into fewer performances while focusing on transitioning into the next stage.

"I'll be spending more time on projects with my husband and visiting with my grandbabies."

Health

The star thanked “my fans...for making a little girl’s dream come true and supporting her every step”. She added: “God bless all of you and hope to see you soon.”

Her son Shanga said last year that tours were "detrimental" to his mother's health and they mostly were done at the behest of her husband William McDowell, but she refuted his claims.

Knight, from Atlanta, released a debut album with her family band The Pips in 1960 and went solo in the late 1970s.

'Entertaining... and traumatic' Casualty chaos on 40th anniversary

CASUALTY star William Beck promised "gold dust" TV involving carnage for Holby City Hospital as the show celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Beck, who plays consultant Dylan Keogh in the medical drama, will face personal tragedy while leading his team through their darkest hour, the BBC said.

Casualty is the world's longest-running show of its kind. It marks the milestone in September with a two-part special.

A "high-stakes major incident" will throw the hospital into chaos, with Keogh leading from the front.

Beck, right, said: "Seeing how people respond under pressure can take you by surprise. The opportunity to give people something that feels authentic and recognisable

but also surprises them – that's gold dust in TV. With Dylan, there's a real opportunity to explore what happens when the person everyone relies on is pushed to his limits.

"It's a lovely opportunity, and a real privilege, to lead the audience through this story – particularly for the 40th anniversary. It really is pinch-yourself stuff."

He revealed the special would be “entertaining as well as traumatic”.

The Bafta-winning show launched in 1986. Both parts of Casualty's 40th anniversary special will air on September 5 on BBC One starting at 8pm.

We adored Dolly from head to toe

WHERE were you when you heard the indescribably sad news about Dolly Parton? I was watching the news. Well, until my eyes filled with tears and for a while I couldn't see a thing.

The phrase “outpouring of grief” is overused, but not in this case. A palpable sense of loss rippled around the world as word spread. In America, a presidential decree ordered the lowering of the nation’s flags to half-mast. That hasn’t happened since 1965, following the death of Winston Churchill, but it didn’t seem at all like an over-reaction, did it?

There was, and is, no division of feeling about Dolly. Everyone loved her. Simple as that. Everyone mourns her. Of course the flags were lowered.

Richard and I were lucky enough to meet her in the flesh, just the once. It was back in the 1990s and she was on a tour of Britain. She flew into Liverpool to be interviewed live on our This Morning show, then at the city's stunning Albert Dock.

The early morning sun was shining on the deep red colonnades of the dock when she arrived. It looked like a Canaletto painting. "My goodness, this is beautiful," Dolly murmured as we joined her during a short commercial break in our interview area. "You're so lucky to work here!"

Several things stand out in my memory of that interview. The first, prosaically enough, was how wonderful Dolly's perfume was. The scent of her was absolutely gorgeous. I've never forgotten it.

The second was just how incredibly pretty she was. Of course, we expected that. But sometimes a known beauty in sometimes a known beauty, in the flesh, exceeds expectations. Dolly had the loveliest of lovely faces.

The third was how funny she was. Known for her pithy one-liners ("It costs a lot of money to look this cheap...

people ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I have no idea. I'm never there... I don't mind being called

a dumb blonde. I know I'm not dumb. I know I'm not blonde, either,") it quickly became obvious Dolly was genuinely and spontaneously witty.

At one point Richard glanced at her beautifully-shod feet and said: "Wow. You have the tiniest feet, don't

you?" She didn't miss a beat. Briefly hoisting her ample decolletage, she quipped: "Well, nothing grows much in the shade, honey."

Rest in peace, Dolly. You leave us on a tide of purest love.

MOST of Wednesday's Good Morning Britain was devoted to Dolly. But we had room for one other story which I'm absolutely certain she would have thoroughly approved. It pulsed with "Dolly positivity". Katherine Jones was a week away from her dream Italian wedding in the rolling hills of Tuscany. Then her husband-to-be pulled the rug of reality from under her feet and declared he didn't want to marry her after all.

Cue despair? Misery? Cancellation?

Forget it. Katherine woke the morning after she was jilted with a fierce determination. The wedding was going ahead. Who needs a groom anyway? Party on!

"Everyone had booked their flights and hotels and we'd already paid for the catering," she grinned. "I just thought, 'what the heck? Let's do it anyway!'"

So she did. There were speeches, toasts, and dancing until dawn. "We had a wonderful time," she said proudly.

What a gal. And what a fool to let her slip through his fingers.

BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM REFLECT ON THE WEEK'S EVENTS EVERY SATURDAY IN YOUR DAILY EXPRESS

GOOD to read that Cheryl Cole is reportedly poised to make her TV comeback, as a coach on The Voice UK. Cheryl was always one of the more thoughtful contributors to The X Factor, which came as no surprise to me - when I met her on the set of our Channel 4 Richard and Judy show (this was back in her Girls Aloud days) she struck me as the most intelligent and articulate of a likeable bunch. It'll be really good to see her back.

Physicist Jim Al-Khalili gets to grips with the gravity of the situation

UNLESS advanced physics is your thing (I'm betting not) then I'm probably right to say that everything you think you know about time is wrong. Until now, me too!

But a book published this week – "On Time" by physicist Jim Al-Khalili – will make your head spin faster than the hands of a watch with a dodgy mainspring that's gone into overdrive.

Time, it turns out, moves faster or slower depending where you are. Because time isn't some sort of abstract concept. It's as real as the rivers or the oceans. It's not just an idea. It's a thing. A real thing, something that can be squeezed or stretched or twisted.

I'm not talking about what Al-Khalili refers to as "psychological time". You know, the difference between half an hour spent sitting glumly in the dentist's waiting room compared to 30 minutes at a glittering party. The former moves like grey sludge, the latter like frothing, rushing rapids.

No, I mean REAL time. And it turns out that gravity is key to how quickly or slowly it passes. Heavy gravity = slower time. Weak gravity = quicker time.

On Earth, our atomic clocks tell us there are precisely 60 seconds to each minute. But just a few miles above our heads, in Earth-orbit, satellites experience fractionally less gravity. So their onboard clocks move faster than down here. This is measurable. It's a fact.

Back in the 1970s, the Moon's feeble gravity meant the Apollo moonwalker's computer watches moved faster than those down in Houston mission control. So when the astronauts returned home, they had aged very slightly more than everyone here.

Fascinating, isn't it? But "On Time" takes things much further. Because once we accept that the stronger the gravity, the slower the time, all sorts of fantastical things become possible.

age at all compared to his friends and family back home. When he returned, they would either be elderly, or long dead – while he still had half his lifetime left to enjoy. This WOULD actually happen.

But it is our old friend, the late Professor Steven Hawking, who must have the last word on this subject.

Hawking argued that there could not possibly be a creator. Why? Because before the Big Bang that caused the universe to explode into existence, there was no time at all.

At least they aren't starting from rock-bottom - Meghan narrowly avoids being the least popular royal because the former Prince Andrew is even more cordially loathed.

But it's a far cry from the halcyon days of her wedding to Harry. I actually got up in the middle of the night in America to watch the ceremony on TV. That's a night's sleep I'm never getting back.

The infinitely small, dense dot of matter that would become the universe was so heavy that time simply couldn't exist. Therefore, Hawking argued, there was no time before the Big Bang for God to have created the universe in It created the universe in. It

popped into existence all by

BLANKET 20MPH IS A BRUM RAP FOR LONG-SUFFERING DRIVERS

Motorists driven to distraction

THERE'LL be a lot of banned drivers in Birmingham soon. Stand by for a rash of disqualifications when the

proposed city-wide 20mph speed limit is imposed. Trust me. Drivers who've never been done for speeding in their lives are going to find themselves fined and banned faster than you can say "camera-flash!"

Because that's what's happened everywhere else where near-blanket 20mph zones have come into force. It is so easy to stray three or four miles per hour over the limit, and if you do so within sight of a speed camera or police checkpoint, it's an automatic three points. Reach 12 (and some drivers have unwittingly done that in ONE DAY) and you're banned, usually for between six months and a year.

Birmingham Council's commitment to 20mph city-wide limits is based on the undeniable fact that deaths and injuries on their roads will fall. So why not make it a 10mph limit? Or 5mph?

It remains to be seen if the good folk of Britain's second city will rise up and overturn the idea, as the Welsh did when their leaders tried it on. If not, invest in the cycling industry. Shares in bikes are going to boom.

Troubles Bill helps the IRA, says former Labour Minister

BY JONATHAN WALKER

FORMER Labour defence minister Al Carns has warned new Northern Ireland legislation will give the IRA "what they want".

The ex-Royal Marine said the planned Northern Ireland Troubles Bill would lead to “a string of inquests costing hundreds of millions of pounds of public money and probably no prosecutions”.

Ministers said the bill is needed to ensure the truth is told about the deaths of almost

3,500 people between 1966 and 1998. But Mr Carns wrote in The Spectator: "Most IRA family members do not want closure, they want leverage.

"They want the British state in the dock, judged on terms written by those who blew up pubs and shot policemen in front of their families. The bill hands them what they want: a legal framework that runs in one direction only."

'Putin doesn't want direct conflict with Nato's forces'

VLADIMIR Putin wants to avoid a direct confrontation with Nato forces despite increased sabre rattling, Western officials believe.

The Kremlin's propaganda campaign is designed to keep allies at home happy, mask devastating losses in the war with Ukraine and weaken support for Kyiv, sources believe.

As Volodymyr Zelensky's forces create a fuel crisis for Russia with their long-range missile strikes on its oil refineries, Putin's generals are desperate to report victories to Moscow, leading them to increase drone strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine.

A source said: "There's nothing particularly new in the rhetoric.

Vigilant

"Russia isn't seeking direct confrontation with Nato. We do need to remain vigilant. This increase in rhetoric is consistent with their doctrine and is consistent with things they've been saying for some time."

Another Western official added: "Putin is being frustrated by the failure of Russian forces to achieve the goal he set at the beginning of this year, to seize the rest of the Donbas."

One strike injured at least four people in a shopping centre in the city of Zaporizhzhia in south-eastern Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian State Emergency Service.

But Western officials said Ukraine and its allies had seen "Russian progress

in the war being extremely slow [with] casualties extremely high".

They said entrenched Russian forces had lost momentum on the battlefield, failing to take new ground and also facing challenges at home.

Ukraine has increased its strike capability through the use of a range of drones and other technology provided by Nato partners.

That power has caused problems for Putin and his cronies, and officials say their assessment is that he “wants to avoid a direct confrontation with Nato” in light of the challenges.

But they warn there is a risk of miscalculation as an increasingly desperate Moscow tries to wrest any advantage it can from the war it started.

Yesterday Gordon Brown warned that Ukraine is facing its “worst winter” as he urged Britain and other nations to press Donald Trump to allow Kyiv to produce Patriot interceptor missiles to defend itself from Russian attacks.

Mr Brown said the US president had “promised he would give the design for interceptors to Ukraine”, but “hasn’t yet done so”.

The former PM told the Edinburgh International Book Festival: "We're at a very critical moment in this Ukraine war. I think we have got to press America to provide the kind of interceptors that they alone seem tors that they alone seem to have that could make a difference to the protection of Ukraine."

Humble wa hero and 'wonderful gentleman'

D-Day veteran Don dies aged 105

TRIBUTES have been paid to humble D-Day hero Don Howkins who saw death "in such a way I have never discussed it".

Don, who has died aged 105 at a care home in Enfield, North London, had been an apprentice butcher in Buckingham when the Second World War erupted in 1939.

On June 6, 1944 the newlywed gunner stormed ashore on Normandy's Gold Beach to help liberate Nazi-occupied Europe.

He later baulked at being called a hero, saying: "We were all young lads. We joined the Territorials for something to do – we never realised what was going to happen."

Dick Goodwin, vice president of the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans, said: "Don was a truly wonderful gentleman and we had the enormous pleasure and privilege of getting to know him."

Recounting events immediately after the landings Don had said: "Our first engagement with the enemy was in Tilly-sur-Seulles and it was here that I witnessed the destruction of a town and death in such a way I have never discussed it.

"My good friend from my home town was badly wounded and his war was over.

"From there we zigged and zagged northward through Normandy and arrived in Braine-le-Comte, Belgium, in October...we lost some good men. We kept going of course through Holland and into Germany."

Don served with the 90th Heavy Anti-

BY GILES SHELDRICK Chief Reporter

Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery – a Territorial Army unit formed in Southgate, Middlesex, on April 1, 1939.

The dad-of-three regularly returned to peacetime France to pay his respects.

To mark the invasion's 80th anniversary in 2024 and to honour his fallen friends, Don travelled to the British Normandy Memorial that overlooks his D-Day beach in Ver-sur-Mer, standing alongside wartime comrades and the King.

Don was awarded the Légion d'honneur, France's highest national order of merit.

Mishap

He once recalled: "It was in Normandy that I lost my lance corporal stripe due to a very neglectful crossroad sign mishap.

"I was ordered to direct some traffic... tanks create lots of dust and I lost my bearings and in turn so did a few tanks. The troop commander realised they were heading in the wrong direction so he turned his troop around and came to find me."

After the war he resumed his career as a butcher and raised a family with his wife Dorothy, retiring in 1992. She died in 2004.

Their three children were Michael, Alan and Susan. Alan said: "In addition to his children, he leaves behind three grandchildren, six step-grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, a step-great grandchild, many beloved nieces and nephews and too many friends to count."

He added: "If you are out tonight, or anytime soon, please raise your glass and wish him Godspeed!

"The world has lost a prince of a man who will be impossible to forget or replace."

Mr Goodwin said: "He had built a very successful family business after the war but he remained deeply connected to the memories of his wartime service and the friends he had made along the way.

"We met Don too late for him to be able to join us on one of our veterans' trips, but we were very pleased that we could help him in another way.

"The Taxi Charity was able to find infor-"

mation about some of the friends who had served alongside him in Normandy and, importantly for Don, visit their graves and take photographs for him.

"It was a small thing for us to do, but it meant a great deal to Don. It was a privilege to be able to do something so meaningful for such a lovely man."

Don's death comes weeks after the D-Day landing beaches codenamed Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold and Juno were awarded World Heritage status by Unesco.

The area includes the British memorial listing the names of 22,540 soldiers who were killed and which was unveiled by the-then Prince Charles on June 6, 2021.

General the Lord Dannatt, ex-Chief of the General Staff, chairman of The Normandy Memorial Trust and patron of The Spirit of Normandy Trust, called the Normandy beaches “among the most important historic landscapes in the world”.

He added: “These beaches are not only places of remembrance...they are symbols of freedom and shared international heritage. Their preservation is vital if future generations are to understand the price paid for the liberties we enjoy today.”

The memorial's 160 limestone columns bear the names of servicemen and women from 38 countries who died in the invasion and the three-month Battle of Normandy. The youngest to die was 16, the oldest 64.

Council orders taxi firm to remove Remembrance poppies

Neil McLennan and wife Jan with banned stickers

A TAXI firm has been forced to remove Remembrance poppies and "Lest We Forget" signs from its cars... after a single complaint.

Neil McLennan, boss of iCars on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, put the logos on his 11-strong fleet two years ago to honour veterans.

But after just one complaint to Swale Borough Council, an official called, demanding he remove them under a policy prohibiting advertising and football stickers.

According to council policy, no signs "other than those specifically approved by the council" are allowed to be displayed.

Neil removed the symbols "under duress", but has received support from outraged customers and residents. The 55-year-old

said: "I've got a lot of friends and family that have been in different wars and have served.

"The biggest thing for me was in the late '80s - my wife and I were at a Rotaract conference and Simon Weston was there. In the Falklands War he was quite badly burnt, he had massive, massive burns all over him. He's been my inspiration through life, really.

"We need to support these veterans that do so much for us."

Neil added: "People that support gay pride and stuff - if that's a strong belief you have, what's the problem with saying 'I put my hand up for these guys'. Why can't we support them? Why can't we show our allegiance?"

Labour MP Kevin McKenna urged the council not to "penalise" iCars, adding he would "help find a fair resolution".

SBC said it previously allowed iCars' taxis to display the poppy and RBL sticker, but that after a complaint "we checked the use against our policy, and it is not permitted".

It added: "The issue is not about the poppy or the Royal British Legion, which the council supports, but the fact we received a complaint the vehicle was not complying with our policy. We are scheduling a Licensing Sub-Committee meeting to discuss iCars' request for an exemption."

Downton's Hugh Bonneville

Hugh joins campaign to stop voice cloning AI

BY CASEY COOPER-FISKE

DOWNTON Abbey star Hugh Bonneville has joined a campaign protesting against artificial intelligence voice cloning.

Save Our Voices Now aims to stop AI being used to replicate someone's voice to say anything it is told to.

Paddington star Hugh said: "My voice is unique, it's mine, it's part of my identity. So is yours. That's worth speaking up about."

Fellow actors including Little Britain's Matt Lucas and Derry Girls stars Nicola Coughlan and Siobhan McSweeney also back the campaign.

Around 80 people have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister and a Gov.uk petition demands everyone in Britain is given ownership of their voice as part of their statutory rights.

Siobhan, who played Sister Michael in the teen sitcom, said: "To adapt and move with technological advances, I don't see why we should remove the human from the equation. Our audiences want that human connection."

'Iran spy' is set for trial

BY EMILY PENNINK

A MAN is set to stand trial accused of offering his services to Iranian intelligence officers.

Vahid Aberi, 39, from Liverpool, was allegedly caught storing what he was told was a drone in an undercover operation.

He is charged with engaging in conduct intended to assist a foreign intelligence service between December 17, 2025, and July 16, 2026.

The dual British-Iranian national appeared at the Old Bailey yesterday via video from Wormwood Scrubs for a preliminary hearing. A provisional trial was set for February 15, 2027, with a plea hearing on December 4.

Women get new cardiac health boost

BY MARTIN BAGOT

SCIENTISTS have announced a "revolution" in how women suffering heart attacks will be treated after being ignored for decades.

Tens of thousands face deadly NHS delays every year due to having their heart attack initially misdiagnosed - females are 50% more likely to get a wrong call.

Now heart attacks which mainly affect women have been upgraded in global rules to stop millions being missed by health organisations.

Primary heart attacks given priority will also now include types often triggered by emotional stress, exercise and childbirth.

The world's biggest heart conference being held in Munich announced the overhaul after hearing medics often assume heart attacks are a man's problem.

Professor Nicholas Mills, from Edinburgh University, told the Mirror: "It is a revolution and it's going to make care better."

Coronary heart disease kills twice as many women as breast cancer in Britain. NHS England said the new international guidance was a "really welcome step".

Sweeteners 'increase risk of heart attacks'

Cardiac episodes linked to high levels of common xylitol

ARTIFICIAL sweeteners found in sugar-free products such as chewing gum could increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes, scientists say.

People with the highest amount of xylitol in their body were found to be 57% more likely to have a potentially fatal episode.

Dell Stanford, senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Risks to our hearts build up over time, and we need to ensure that what is being added to our food does not contribute.

“Artificial sweeteners such as xylitol are found in many foods and drinks, and people may assume they are the healthier choice, so consume more than they realise. This study adds to growing evidence that artificial sweeteners could have an impact on our health.”

The sweetener xylitol is found in chewing gums such as Wrigley's

BY BY MARTIN BAGOT

Extra, as well as sugar-free breath mints like Peppersmith.

It is also used in some tooth-pastes, mouthwashes, cough syrups and sweets but can be found naturally in some foods such as fruit, but in very small amounts.

Platelets

However, xylitol is increasingly being added to products in place of sugar to artificially sweeten them, often in 1,000 times greater quantity than found naturally.

Study author Dr Marco Witkowski, of Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Germany, said the research suggests that xylitol can “enhance the ability of platelets to form clots”.

He added: "Artificial sweeteners are consumed by people who think they are healthier than sugar and they are generally regarded as safe by regulatory agencies. Our long-term findings in the general popula-

know about the cardio-vascular safety of xylitol and indicate that further studies are warranted, especially as the amount of xylitol in products continues to increase."

The study, presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, monitored xylitol levels in 17,710 people over six years.

Those who were high consumers during the study period were still at 18% higher risk of a cardiac event 30 years later.

Prof Dan Atar, an expert on the

ESC committee, said: "Artificial sweeteners are widely embraced by modern society, and the safety ratings had been good and granted by regulatory authorities. In this obser-

vational work, however, it appears that xylitol has a negative long-term effect on cardiovascular events."

Mr Stanford added: "It is important to note that this was an observational study, meaning it can only show an association between higher xylitol levels and cardiovascular events, rather than proving that xylitol directly caused them.

"It not a green light to have more sugar... This study is a reminder that we all need to reduce our intake of processed foods and drinks... and focus on a balanced diet."

STAR GENEROUS TO THE END WITH CANCER DRUG TESTING

DOLLY Parton offered to receive experimental drugs to help future patients, her sister has revealed following the singer's death after a "brief battle" with cancer.

Stories of the country music legend's kindness and generosity have abounded since her death aged 80 this week.

Her sister Stella Parton, 77, said in a statement: "My sister was one of the most generous, thoughtful and kind people I've ever known.

"What the world saw is exactly who she was, so much so, she told me recently that if there was no hope for her, she would still allow

BY SEAN O'GRADY

her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future."

Stella added: "Dolly loved the world and everyone in it. I would complain about it and she would laugh and say, 'shoot, Tedda, we've got more important things to do than worry about their silly asses'.

"She was right, and she proved it every day. She left the world a better place by being in it, so let's follow her example. Love and respect to all of you. Stella."

Born into poverty as the fourth of 12 children in rural Tennessee, Dolly was known for her genre-defining hits including 9 To 5, I Will Always Love You and Jolene.

Her husband Carl Dean died last year aged 82 and her death was announced on Tuesday by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, who was also her head of security.

He said: "Sadness lies with us, not with Dolly.

"Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents and countless others who have watched her and longed to meet her in the heavens."

Dad's memories of the moment legend held his newborn in town that reminded her of home

By Tom Bryant

WHEN Dolly Parton swept into Rotherham hospital and scooped up Shane Jarman's two-day-old daughter, he was starstruck.

But as the music legend cradled 4lb 6oz Emma in her arms, his eyes kept drifting towards one thing... her bright red fingernails.

"The worry was etched on my face," says Shane, 58. "I was looking at the size of those nails thinking, 'Don't squeeze too hard. That's my daughter's head'."

It was one of the more surreal moments in an unlikely love affair between Dolly and a corner of South Yorkshire she had barely heard of before she arrived. The star, who died aged 80 this week, was in Rotherham that day back in 2007 to launch the first Imagination Library scheme in the UK.

Inspired by her father's inability to read and write, the programme sends children a free book every month from birth until the age of five. More than 300 million books have been gifted worldwide.

But what began as a visit to promote the scheme became something far more personal. One of 12 children raised in a tiny cabin in rural Tennessee, Dolly saw something of her own beginnings in the families of Rotherham.

"It's an area where there's lots of hard-working people, poor people, and I totally related to Rother-ham," she said. "I'm so glad that we started there because that was really more of a heart spot for me."

Her affection ran so deep that Dolly even joked about moving there. "They were making fun of me for going out there... I was even looking for an apartment," she said.

DOLLY'S Yorkshire adventure

began when then-council leader Roger Stone got in touch about bringing the Imagination Library to the town. By the time she left, she had been mobbed by crowds at the Magna Science Adventure Centre, charmed dignitaries and acquired a new punchline. "Now I've discovered that Rotherham is just a Roger Stone's throw from Tennessee!" she told hundreds of fans who had gathered to see her.

Her campaign eventually took her to Whitehall to lobby former Cabinet minister Ed Balls for cash. GMB host Ed recalls: "The moment when Dolly Parton placed her hand on my inner thigh and whispered in my ear 'I hope you don't mind me hitting on you' will always remain one of the highlights of my life in politics.

"If you think I was taken aback, you should have seen the look of surprise on the face of my Permanent Secretary. She was really trying to ‘hit on me’ for my department’s money. I knew but I didn’t care.”

Back in Rotherham, Dolly left another lasting impression. Shane and his wife Claire had endured a difficult pregnancy before Emma was born just two days before the star arrived in town.

Then nurses approached Claire with the prospect of Emma receiving the first book from Dolly herself. Shane, then a deputy head teacher at a school in Doncaster, remembers being phoned by his wife.

"I was up the ladder decorating the school Christmas tree when Claire said, 'I really need you to come to the hospital,' he says. "We hadn't had an easy pregnancy, so you can imagine my reaction. She said somebody was coming to visit but she couldn't tell me who."

When staff revealed the identity of their mystery visitor, Shane assumed the whole thing was a wind-up.

He was left shocked when Dolly swept into the room asking: "Where's my baby?" "Claire and I were thinking: 'I think it's our baby, but you can borrow her for two minutes'," Shane laughs. "She just had this boundless energy about her. But without it being brash or in your face.

"You felt that energy as she entered the room. She was energetic but calm, compassionate and, amazing." Dolly appeared fascinated by tiny Emma. At one point,

she asked permission to remove the newborn's little hat so she could inspect what was underneath. "That was very Dolly, wasn't it?" laughs Shane. "She was always into hair." She presented Emma with The Tale of Peter Rabbit, the first of dozens of books she received. When Shane and Claire had another daughter, Lily, the books began arriving for her too.

on the family has not disappeared. Shane and Claire

today run a nursery and pre-school in Hampshire, where the books she sent

their daughters are still sitting on the shelves.

"They weren't just Emma and

Lily's books," Shane says. "We shared them with the children in the nursery and are still helping others."

Emma, meanwhile, is now 18 and preparing to head to university.

She is an “avid reader and bookworm,” Shane says, adding: “No one is going to believe her when she says she was held by Dolly Parton. It’s a good icebreaker at uni.”

When Shane heard the news of Dolly's death, his thoughts went back to the hospital room.

"I was sad," he reveals. "After meeting her, you realised what a gentle, caring soul she was.

"I really hope she's sat up there somewhere thinking: 'I did good.' Because she certainly did."

'A celebration of life, love and hope...'

Gaza hostage Emily gets married

A BRITISH-Israeli woman who survived 471 days as a captive in Gaza has married her partner in an emotional ceremony.

BY ANDY LINES

Emily Damari, 30, was taken hostage by Hamas gunmen on October 7, 2023. She was shot in the leg and hand, and lost two of her fingers.

She subsequently spent more than 15 months holed up in hellish conditions before finally being freed and returning to England.

Emily tied the knot with girlfriend Danielle Amrit, 36, in front of friends and family in a service in Tel Aviv.

Emily's mum Mandy made a heart-felt speech at the wedding.

Impossible

She told guests: "There was a time when I wasn't sure I would ever see Emily again. For 471 days, she was held in captivity. And during those endless days and nights, there were moments when the thought of standing here tonight, seeing my daughter alive, safe, happy, and standing beside the person she loves, would have been impossible to imagine.

"So, Danielle, you can probably understand why tonight means more to me than just a wedding. It is a celebration of life. Of love. Of hope. And of a future that, for a very long time, I wasn't sure Emily would have. And then I look at the two of you together, and I realise just how much there is to celebrate."

Mandy continued: "Emily, my beautiful daughter, I have watched you grow up and go through things that no mother should ever have to watch her child endure.

"And yet somehow, you have come through it still being you, still funny, still feisty, still full of life, still capable of loving and being loved.

"Tonight, I don't want to look back at the 471 days. I want to look forward to all the days ahead.

"Because after everything, my daughter is here. She is loved. She is happy. And she is beginning a new chapter with you, Dani."

Emily had been kidnapped from her home in Kfar Aza, Israel, snatched from a safe room alongside twins Gali and Ziv Berman, who were among the guests at the wedding.

She was the only British national to have been taken hostage during the Hamas attacks and met Danielle after her release on January 19, 2025.

Those closest to the couple describe their relationship as one of remarkable strength. Emily has often said her greatest hope is to be a good mother and to build a happy, meaningful life with Danielle.

Men admit destroying Jewish ambulances

FOUR men have admitted wrecking four Jewish community ambulances in an arson attack that caused £1million of damage.

Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi and Saif Ali, both aged 18, pleaded guilty to a charge of destroying or damaging property being reckless whether life would be endangered.

It relates to the attack on ambulances in Golders Green, North London, in the early hours of March 23. Three of the defendants were said to have set fire to the fully stocked

vehicles, while a fourth waited in a car. The blaze caused gas canisters inside the ambulances to explode and nearby flats and a synagogue were damaged by the fire.

At the Old Bailey Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb ordered pre-sentence reports for East Londoners Iqbal and Khan, from Leyton, Atshatshi, from Dagenham, and Ali, of dual British-Pakistani nationality, from Walthamstow. They were remanded in custody to be sentenced next year.

Bank holiday train service off the rails

BY ALAN JONES

RAIL passengers face a bank holiday nightmare due to striking staff and engineering work.

A walk out by RMT union members at East Midlands Railway will hit train services on Sunday and bank holiday Monday.

A “significantly reduced” timetable will run to and from London on both days. Queuing systems will in place at both London St Pancras and Sheffield.

Passengers were told use affected routes only if their journey is essential and to check times before setting out.

The RMT highlighted concerns about safety issues – including a lack of air-con and door faults – on some EMR trains.

Bosses at the operator apologised to travellers for the “frustrating” disruption and said “constructive” talks were ongoing.

Meanwhile, there will be no LNER trains between London King's Cross and Peterborough this Sunday due to a digital signalling upgrade by Network Rail.

Dinner costs dine & dash man £2,000

BY ISOBEL WILLIAMS

A THIEF has ended up with a £2,000 bill for a £250 steak dinner – after trying to dine and dash.

Johnny Delaney, 44, enjoyed a meal at Stubbs in Ashford, Kent, with a woman and two children before leaving without paying in November.

Delaney ordered a large meal of steaks and cocktails with no complaints before trying to say the food was cold and contained a hair.

But, since they all finished their meals without raising the issue, they were still given their £252 bill before leaving without paying.

Police later arrested Delaney who admitted theft at Canterbury crown court.

He was sentenced to a 12-month community order and ordered to pay £252 compensation, a victim surcharge of £114 and £1,630 court costs.

Stubbs boss Sally Newman said: "This kind of theft places an immense emotional and operational strain on me and my hardworking colleagues. We hope this sends a clear message."

Cheap as chips? Not after this summer say potato farmers

CHIPS could become smaller, more expensive and in shorter supply after this summer, potato farmers have warned.

Months of scorching heat and drought have left growers battling shrinking yields, with traditional crops struggling in the hot weather.

And the changes could have a drastic impact on traditional fish and chip shops.

Cornish farmer Philip Pryor said he harvested just half of his expected amount of salad potatoes following the hottest June on record.

He said: "In 45 years, I've never seen a crop like this. The early crops haven't been too bad. They were a little bit below par, probably $10\%$ .

Potato farmers across the UK have endured a devastating summer

“However, the stuff we're harvesting now has been more affected with the dry weather. The stuff that's planted late, from May 1 onwards, probably the yield is down 50%. Dress it up which way you like, there just won't be so many potatoes to sell, simple as that.”

The plants tend to shut down when the temperature reaches 25C, so while they might survive, they won't grow.

Disasters

Philip expects that up to 70% of his late harvest will be classed as small.

He added: "Quite often we stop salads because they get too big. We haven't had to stop any of them. They just die."

Larger varieties are under particular strain. Baked potatoes are “going to face a very difficult season” and jacket potatoes could be in really short supply, according to Terry Jones, sales manager at major seed developer Meijer Potato UK.

This could impact fish and chip shops, since larger potatoes require less peeling and create less waste, and customers may notice the chips are shorter than usual this year.

Terry said that the crops have fared better in Northern England and Scotland, but they will not make up for the huge losses in England and Wales. He added: "There are some utter disasters out there. We're seeing a consistent deficit across the whole of the UK.

"That's going to create some challenges in

EXCLUSIVE BY SARAH BARLTROP

terms of availability of the right quality, and an impact on price in all likelihood as well."

The answer may seem obvious – import more to keep the price down. But this year is particularly unusual because the shortage has also affected Northern Europe.

As farmers anticipate hotter summers

becoming the norm, several solutions are on the table. And Meijer is developing new varieties of potatoes that can withstand even the blistering heat of Turkey.

Terry said: "We know that if the potatoes can cope with the summers in the Mediterranean countries, then they should work over here as well. Varieties that can cope with these extremes all of a sudden are now becoming much more interesting to the market."

Fish and chip shops will be affected, experts warned

Melody is currently the “biggest and best variety” for baking potatoes, but a newcomer called Drummer is gaining popularity because it has “coped fantastically” with the heat.

Fish and chip shops prefer the Sagitta, Lady Anna and Agria varieties, but Terry said that Lady Jane potatoes, which are in the early stages of development, held up better against the heat than anything else his contacts grew this year.

Keith Summers, a seed grower based in Somerset, thinks farmers need to be paid a fairer price, revealing he made “massive” losses this year after yielding half of his expected crop, and 25% less last year, due to the hot weather.

He said: "This is clearly not a one-off."

Keith believes that supermarkets could simply pay a penny more per kilo for potatoes.

Investment

He added: "Everyone's profit margins are tiny. We can't inflate our prices because the next man down the chain can't afford to pay double, because the supermarkets aren't going to pay him double. The obvious solution would be that the price of the product needs to go up.

"It doesn't need to go up a scary amount to have a significant impact."

Terry worries that if the price does not rise, farmers will stop taking on the risk of planting potatoes, which could affect food security.

He reflected on last year, when ton bags of spuds were selling for £150 to £200, saying it "wasn't enough – farmers at that level lost an awful lot of money".

He added: "There are growers who are already considering what they're doing for next year because it's a huge investment.

"If you don't see that you've got a fair chance of a profit in front of you, then where's the incentive to do it?"

The Daily Express's Save Our Fish and Chips campaign aims to raise awareness of potato farming problems.

OPINION: PAGE 14

Trees were felled outside, the power was cut and Princess Margaret was trapped

The 48 hours the late Queen's younger sister spent under virtual siege by the IRA in a grand Irish country house is the subject of a thrilling new novel. Its author tells the dramatic real-life story behind the fiction

EARLY in January 1965, at 11am mass in St Mary's Cathedral, Kilkenny, a priest called Father Sherin preached a sermon drawing on the feast of the Epiphany as a metaphor to confront something happening in the commu-

nity. It wasn't the first time a priest had used the pulpit as a soapbox, and it wouldn't be the last. But the topic was far from usual.

"On this feast of the Epiphany it is kings from afar who visit in homage the Son of God," he said. "To visit our own too, with affection, with gifts, is a part of our Christian practice... and a source of great joy..." And yet, he continued: "We have seen... two young people who in all simplicity came to visit their friends, being warned off. We have seen a gaggle of young addle-heads trying to deny to others those very rights which they say they are fighting for."

These “two young people” were in fact Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord Snowdon, coming to visit his sister Susan who was married to Lord de Vesci and living at nearby Abbeyleix House.

The “addle-heads” in question were rather more organised and focused than anyone had expected – they were the remnants of the IRA.

This wasn't the first visit Margaret had paid to Abbeyleix. She and Snowdon had had a successful trip a few years before,

EXCLUSIVE By Emily Hourican

motoring about in a small red sportscar, visiting friends, including socialite and author Desmond Guinness of the famous Anglo-Irish family, and generally seeming very happy.

That had been a two-week visit, with security handled by the Irish police force, An Garda Siochana. Costs were high, and no one in government was particularly pleased at the idea that she was coming back, just three years later, on yet another “private visit”. Questions were asked in the Irish Parliament about whether it was reasonable to, yet again, cover security costs. But in truth, there was no debate to be had.

The idea that something might happen to the sister of the reigning British monarch on Irish soil was just too terrible to contemplate. And yet the early warning signs were unfavourable.

Those that Father Sherin decried might have been “addle-heads” but they weren’t fools. The anti-Margaret campaign ramped up in the days before her arrival. “Royalty And Jones Go Home” was daubed on the fountain in the middle of Abbeyleix, and leaflets began to circulate titled “No Foreign

Power on Irish Soil" and "We are the People's Republic, not the Crown's colony". The IRA, in 1965, was a declining organisation, although far from extinct.

The busy days of the War of Independence and Civil War were long behind them and their raison d'etre was uneasy. The "occupation" of six counties in the North was a matter of only passing interest for most Irish people at that time (it was far from the touchpoint it was to become – this is four years before the events in Northern Ireland ignited a new generation).

However, the IRA still existed.

They were a proscribed organisation, and membership carried a six-month jail sentence. For them, this was an opportunity – the chance of a high profile statement.

On the car ride from Shannon airport to Abbeyleix House, an attempt was made by a grey Ford containing four men to cut in between the car carrying Princess Margaret and Snowdon, and the security following them.

The attempt failed – the driver of Margaret's car was too quick – but there was growing uneasiness, not helped by the realisation that the crowd in front of the gates of Abbeyleix house, mostly made up of women eager for a glimpse of the princess, also contained men with caps pulled low over their eyes, handing out leaflets. Interestingly, the man put in charge of security for the Princess had been in the old IRA but then joined the Civic Guard.

That night, under cover of darkness, a petrol bomb was thrown over the walls. Then another. The second damaged power lines and took out an electricity substation, plunging the house – and surrounding houses – into darkness. At the same time, trees were felled outside the gates and along the road, branches sawn and hacked so as to make the road impassable.

AND THERE they were – Margaret and Snowdon – trapped inside a house without power. And there they stayed for 48 hours until the roads were cleared and they could leave.

The “addle-heads” had succeeded in making a bold statement. One that Margaret, with what seems quite typical royal family-style stoicism, tried hard to dampen. She issued no public statement, but was reported to have gone quietly to bed at midnight.

But what really happened inside that house, in those locked-in hours?

This is the subject of my new novel, A House in Winter.

Obviously I can't know exactly what happened – after all, this is a work of fiction. But it explores what might have been, given the understanding I have of both Margaret and Snowdon at that time.

They were five years married by then, and both their children had been born. Margaret had apparently suffered what we would now call post-natal depression after the birth of both children, but particularly bad after the second child, Sarah, born eight months before that visit. No one called it anything much back then – maybe the “baby blues”, an altogether too glib term for something so serious.

Following the death of her father, King George VI, she once admitted to a royal biographer, "there was an awful sense of being in a black hole. I remember feeling tunnel-visioned and didn't really notice things".

It's as good a description of depression as any, and a rare admission for someone who mostly just "got on with it".

As her friend Colin Tennant put it: "In her circle, you didn't mention the word."

Instead, there was drink – gin and tonic at lunch, whiskey and water at dinner and beyond; “What about another little drinkiewinkie?” was one of Margaret’s most-repeated lines.

She and Snowdon were well past their honeymoon phase by then. Despite conceiving a child with someone else during their courtship, Snowdon seems to have been reasonably faithful in the first years of marriage, but by 1965, it's reasonably certain that he no longer was. Margaret herself began the first of several affairs she had, just a few months after the Abbeyleix visit.

HEY stayed together for another ten years, but the rot had well set in. The nonstop strain of royal protocol,

along with the pressure of constant public appearances, and – perhaps – the irritation of being always second (for both of them!) were taking a toll.

Snowdon, forced to walk several paces behind his wife in public, required to defer to her, to hold his hands at an unnatural height when he clapped any of her public performances, that they be readily seen, had become disenchanted with his married life.

Margaret's star, too, was falling. By 1965, she was fifth in line to the throne, fallen from the dizzy heights of second. As such she was increasingly irrelevant, dividing her time among unimportant public engagements.

her place in it shrank. And then there were the notes. Snowdon's unhappiness began to take expression in a series of cruel notes he left for his wife – tucked into the book she was reading, or the gloves she was wearing.

It got to the stage where she no longer opened her chest of drawers – she asked a maid to do it, in case one of the poisonous notes was inside.

"You look like a cheap pantomime dame", read one, "24 reasons why I hate you", was another. ("I can't think of 24 reasons to hate ANYBODY," was Margaret's plaintive response to a friend).

The opportunities of the 1960s – for women in particular – were passing her by. As society opened up,

That is the background to the novel I have written. A small but telling incident in the long history of Anglo-Irish relations. One that is largely forgotten. Even in Ireland, among historians, few remember it. To an extent, that makes sense – after all, nothing much happened. No one was killed, or even hurt. The damage was minimal.

However, there is footage from Pathé News of the scenes around the court house in Mountmellick at the arraignment of the ten men arrested and charged with criminal damage after the incident. And it is striking. The entire main street is filled with aggressive crowds – a heaving sea of angry bodies.

The clashes with police are violent and general. Batons are rained down on heads and shoulders, punches are thrown. Several men are brought to the ground and beaten badly before being dragged off by their comrades. A policeman has his nose bloodied and is beaten about the head before his colleagues intervene.

And, a small codicil – in 1969, when another visit by the princess was mooted, the Irish State said a firm no – they simply couldn't guarantee her safety.

These are the factors that I have drawn on in order to create my view of the people inside Abbeyleix House over that strained 48 hours.

A woman, a man, a marriage in trouble; a

locked room, a mystery. The people who left that house were subtly different to those who arrived: What happened?

University campus moggy is gown but not forgotten

Popular resident Pebbles

BY SAM RUSSELL

A UNIVERSITY's campus cat, honoured with his own statue, has died almost 17 years after he first wandered into the students' lives.

Pebbles first appeared at the University of Essex's Colchester campus in 2010.

He was scanned for a microchip and returned to his owner nearby, but he kept returning to the university so his owner agreed he could stay.

A popular figure with students, the black and white moggy had a bronze statue made in his likeness in 2024.

Pebbles was known for wandering

He retired from the campus two years ago and lived with Essex Students' Union chief executive Craig Stephens until he died following a brief illness.

Mr Stephens said: "Pebbles arrived at Essex by accident, chose to stay and became part of what it meant to belong here. He brought so much joy to so many people, and I'm going to miss him enormously."

Reddy or not...autumn's on its way

AN AUTUMNAL Blood Moon heralds the coming season with an eerie reddish glow visible only in areas spared thundery skies early yesterday.

Early birds caught a glimpse of a dramatic partial lunar eclipse above Pegwell Bay in Ramsgate, Kent, as the Moon slipped into the Earth's shadow, with 93% of its visible diameter obscured at its peak.

It began at around 3.30am and peaked at 5.12am, with the Moon low on the horizon creating the illusion that it was unusually large.

Unsettled weather is set to continue this bank holiday weekend, with more heavy rain and strong winds threatening festivals and outdoor plans.

BY FRANCES MILLAR

Today is expected to be wet across much of Britain, with only the far north-east of Scotland likely to escape the rain. Gusts of up to 35mph are possible along the South Coast, while thunderstorms remain a risk across parts of England and Wales.

Festivalgoers heading to Reading and Leeds, Creamfields and other events have been warned to prepare for blustery conditions.

Met Office meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth said: "We could see some quite windy weather through bank holiday Monday, predominantly for more northern areas. But I think it will likely be a relatively breezy day for the UK as a whole so that may affect plans if you are outside this weekend."

The heaviest rain is expected across the North West, Northern Ireland and north-west Scotland tomorrow, before stronger winds potentially sweep northern areas on Monday.

EXCLUSIVE By Matt Nixson

NYONE hunting for clues to the inspiration behind the bestselling novels of Robert Harris need not look far. Nestled amid the floor-to-ceiling shelves in his spacious, cigar-scented study at home in

Berkshire – packed to the brim with histories and political biographies – is a large bust of the emperor Julius Caesar.

On his nearby desk is a life-sized replica of the only extant sculpture of the Roman general Agrippa, titular hero of his latest historical blockbuster.

Harris has spent many hours staring at the bust – “the face of someone you would not want to cross,” as he describes it – and pondering the motivations of the commoner who rose to glory 2,000 years ago as right-hand man to Caesar’s adoptive son Augustus.

"He's a staggering figure and ideal for a novelist because we know so little of his inner life," explains Harris. "Agrippa's career was extraordinary but we don't have any letters, no speech survives and we don't know his family origins. And yet he was co-ruler of the Roman world for years and the architect of Augustus's victories."

These included the Battle of Actium in 31BC when Agrippa's navy defeated the combined fleets of Mark Antony and Cleopatra off the coast of Greece to secure Augustus's rule after a decade of squabbling – Harris's first battle scenes in 17 books.

"It's very hard to write a biography of Agrippa that isn't just a catalogue of events," he admits. "Whereas, if you're able to use the tools of a novelist, you can go where a scholar or historian can't – you can speculate, create scenes and try to work out how these two characters who met as teenagers and formed a partnership that lasted 35 years go from nobodies to controlling the Roman Empire."

Indeed, Augustus would outlive his friend and supporter for 25 years – dying aged 75 in 14AD and pretty much writing Agrippa out of the history of the Roman Empire. So Harris, as is his habit, has filled in the blanks.

The new novel – which sees the ailing general betrayed by his wife, alone and looking back on his storied life aged 50 – is his fifth outing to ancient Rome in a little over two decades. And why not, the Roman Empire has after all been exceptionally good to him.

AVING made his name with Fatherland, the runaway 1992 best-seller imagining a counter-factual world in which the Nazis had won the Second World War, his fourth book, Pompeii, represented something of a commercial risk. Would readers who had enjoyed his wartime and Cold War-era exploits follow him further back in time?

"There was a deep intake of breath when I said I wanted to do Pompeii," he chuckles. "I told my editor, 'There's lots of interesting characters, Pliny the Elder, for example'.

"And she stared at me and said, 'Couldn't we at least make it Pliny the Younger?"

In the event, despite taking him out of his comfort zone, Harris had nothing to worry about. Pompeii was a triumph. Readers flocked to the book and it opened new creative avenues.

"I found I could go

from Cold War and Second World War settings to Ancient Rome and sell just as well," he continues. "The readership would follow."

Subsequently, he completed a bestselling trilogy based on the life of the Roman statesman Cicero - adapted by the Royal Shakespeare Company for the stage - and hit books on 20th century British politics (The Ghost, 2007; Munich, 2017; and Precipice, 2024); the election of a Pope (Conclave, 2016); Nazi superweapons (V2, 2020); and the pursuit of the killers of Charles I (Act of Oblivion, 2022), among others. Which makes it all the more remarkable that his first outing to the Ancient World was something of a happy accident.

"I'd been trying to write a novel about modern America, or America slightly in the future, and I couldn't make it work," he says. "Then I thought, 'Why don't I write an allegory featuring Ancient Rome?' I wanted to write about a powerful utopian nation suddenly under threat – that was how I felt around the turn of the century."

At the time, new research into the Mount St Helens eruption of May 18, 1980, that killed 57 Americans and devastated surrounding parts of Washington State, helped the author speculate on events at Pompeii when Mount Vesuvius blew in 79 AD. The resulting book was a masterpiece of historical fiction – intelligent, entertaining and diving deep into well-drawn characters, real and imagined. Harris had discovered the métier that has since come to define his work – gripping fiction slipped into the gaps between the building blocks of history.

Moreover, the former journalist and broadcaster found himself fascinated by the mix of power, politics and brutality of Rome. And he began to see echoes in contemporary politics.

"If you want to write about politics and power, as I do, the Romans are the original model and you can have a double effect – you can try and bring their world to life and, at the same time, see the deep wiring that's in our own political culture." Sipping a glass of chilled white wine in the beer garden of his local pub near the house he shares

with his wife, Gli Hornby, als bestselling novelist, Harris, 69 is terrific company. Fabulously knowledgeable and well-connected, with an insider's eye for current affairs, despite having left full-time journalism three decades ago, he must surely rank as one of our greatest contemporary storytellers.

But the secret of his success, he modestly suggests, is the source material. "I do what I

'I found I could go from the Second World War to Ancient Rome and sell just as well'

love and I take it seriously," he explains. "Given I like writing books on all sorts of public issues, the source material is

upon my own experience and emotions so there's always something out there to write about.

been rather left alone in novels, which tend to concentrate on people much lower down. You write about what fascinates you and readers can tell if you're really engaged – I mean, Conclave was a novel about the election of a Pope that features cardinals!"

The supreme exponent of such writing was, of course, Shakespeare, whose plays often feature huge historical figures while skillfully combining a psychological study of their characters with the grand historical sweep of events.

Harris laughs off comparisons, but there's no doubt his books have struck a similar vein among readers, growing in popularity while inspiring a series of successful film and TV adaptations. And much like the Bard, the father-of-four has a keen eye for contemporary politics no matter what era he is writing about.

"Agrippa's life more or less spanned the end of the democratic Roman Republic, and the arrival of rule by dictators," Harris continues. "A facade of the old system was preserved but effectively that was a sham, and old Roman power-sharing democracy had gone. And you do feel we're moving into a potentially post-democratic era now.

"There's nothing that says any system is going to last forever, and when you look at Donald Trump or Elon Musk, or any of the strong men around the world today, you can see the erosion of public support for institutions and democracy. I tried to tell Agrippa's story honestly, but it's more relevant now than it would have been 20 years ago."

We're talking shortly after the defenestration of Keir Starmer in favour of Andy Burnham by Labour which, on reflection, seems quite Roman in its machinations.

"Nowadays, thank God, it's not lethal, whereas in the Roman era, it usually was," chuckles Harris. "I quote the saying, 'Power makes monsters of us all', because having defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra, Augustus managed to catch Cleopatra's son Caesarion, and although he was an innocent 17 or 18-year-old, he was put to death."

AESARION was also the son of Julius Caesar and thus another potential rival to power, he notes. "That sums up politics. When a leader stumbles, when they no longer command the confidence of their colleagues, they become weak and the Darwinian process of natural selection takes over and someone else comes along."

Harris, a bright printer's son who grew up in a Nottingham council house before going to Cambridge and then joining the BBC, becoming friends with the likes of Tony Blair during the New Labour era, has been watching events closely.

"Burnham is obviously a natural politician. He's a glad-hander, he likes performing, he likes talking to people, appearing on camera, and so on," he says.

"That's a big plus. Starmer always looked completely frozen. He looked the happiest I've ever seen him on the day he stepped out of Downing Street and was having a drink in a North London pub with his friends.

“Although I’m sure he would have liked to carry on, I suspect there’s part of him which is mightily glad it’s now in the past.

"Burnham may turn out to be a disaster but he strikes me as an optimist and he likes to make other people feel good.

"Yes, Britain's got deep-seated problems, but we also have a lot going for us – and we need a leader who expresses that.

"Politics is partly performance art and one of the things I enjoyed putting in the novel was the extraordinary sophistication of Augustus's public image operation.

"He was feeble, round-shouldered, with bad teeth, a pimply complexion and often ill. But the only statues that were ever issued of him were of a kind of young Apollo."

It's a lead many politicians have been following ever since. As for Harris, while he is dipping back into history again, what does his own future hold?

"I'm going to be 70 next year, so I'm conscious that I don't have too many more books left to be brutally honest and I should write them while I can," he adds with a smile.

"I have no hobbies, I have my friends and my family, but I don't play golf!

"So I'll just try and keep on writing until I'm incapable of doing it any longer." Something his many readers will doubtless be delighted to hear.

Enjoy this South African Classique

D region itself. So while here we have English sparkling wines made using exactly the same methods as in France, in South Africa they have Cap Classique – their own prestigious category of sparkling whites. The term has been used since 1992 and normally guarantees a beautiful sparkling South African wine.

They've been making wine in South Africa for some 365 years and they're pretty good at it. And in recent years, Cap Classique – also known as MCC – has grown to be one of the leading sectors of the country's wine industry. It was introduced to South Africa after legendary Stellenbosch winemaker Frans Malan visited the Champagne region of France in 1968 and imported the Champagne method, whereby sparkling wine is created by triggering a second fermentation – trapping carbon dioxide gas in each bottle to build natural bubbles – and aging the wine on spent yeast cells to create rich, complex flavours. The first Cap Classique was released in 1973. Today more than 250 South African producers craft this fabulous fizz. Initially based on chenin blanc, the majority of Cap Classiques are today made using chardonnay, pinot noir and, in some blends, pinot meunier.

Wines range from those with 12 months on the lees to rich, complex wines laid down for 60 months and more.

Today ten million bottles are produced annually. Tuesday marks the start of spring in the southern hemisphere and Cap Classique Day – so why not raise a glass to celebrate?

2 Journey's End Cap Classique NV (£17.50, 12%)

This lovely straw-coloured fizz from Stellenbosch has spent at least 18 months on lees to create a rich, complex character with a creamy tropical fruit palate and notes of brioche, toast and flint wrapped in an acidic finish with plenty of bubbles. From Tanners.

4 Van Loveren Christina Cap Classique Brut NV (£17.60, 11.5%)

This blend of chardonnay and pinot noir is a great value South African sparkler. Pale golden in the glass with bold flavours of citrus and grapefruit, notes of brioche and plentiful bubbles.

Families losing homes due to mine damage 97 houses to be demolished

BY LUCINDA CAMERON

HOMES in two streets of a former mining village are to be demolished due to ongoing ground movement.

Residents in 97 homes were evacuated in May after the issue was discovered in a number of streets.

Following an investigation, the Mining Remediation Authority confirmed the movement was caused by historic mining activity.

Now the MRA has found there is "damage and risk severity beyond the point of rehabilitation" on Benbuck View and Dunmoss View in Coalsnaughton, Clackmannanshire,

Repairs are due in less affected parts of the village once ground stabilisation work has taken place.

Wrench

The government has said it will pay for the response to the issue.

Keith Brown, MSP for Clackmannanshire and Dunblane, told BBC Radio Scotland's Breakfast programme: "Of the four streets which have been affected, the two in the middle are going to have to be completely torn down.

"Other work will be required at the top and the bottom, but the two streets in the middle will have to come down.

"One woman that I'm aware of had only moved there within the last year.

"These homes have got stunning views across the valley towards the

Ochil Hills. This was her, if you like, forever home, and she had just got her garden shaded, the kitchens and so on, and she's had to move out.

“Another gentleman has a memorial to his deceased wife in his garden. So this is a huge wrench for these individuals, and although it may not be unexpected, this will be devastating to them.”

Cracks have appeared on roads and paths as well as in gardens and on properties in the village due to ground movement.

Carl Banton of the MRA said yesterday: "We know this is very difficult news for residents and their families. It is not a conclusion we have reached lightly, but it reflects the level of damage, the work that would be needed to make the ground safe, and the importance of giving people a clear, safe and practical route forward."

Mr Banton added that dedicated support remains in place for the affected households in the village.

Taking the lead... 'furry potato' bush pups emerge

BY WILL MILLAR

FIVE rare bush dog pups have emerged from their den to make a much-awaited public debut at Chester Zoo.

The month-old canines took their first tentative steps into the open from their underground home and explored their surroundings.

They are the only litter of bush dogs born in the UK this year

and were welcomed by four-year-old mother Molly following a 65-day pregnancy.

Each pup weighed between 120g and 150g at birth – roughly the same as a tin of sardines.

Keepers initially left Molly and her new family undisturbed inside their den, only now glimpsing the newborns for the first time.

The pups, who have webbed feet, have been helped along by their older brothers and sisters.

Richard Tyson, carnivore keeper at Chester Zoo, said: "At this stage, they're just little furry potatoes. They toddle around a bit, but mostly they huddle together in a pile.

"It won't be long before they're eating solid food, and we'll start providing them with little bits of chicken or rabbit to try over the next few weeks."

weeks.

"The older brothers and sisters like to move the little pups around, but they have quite short legs, so they can't lift them fully off the ground.

"They get bumped around a bit and then you hear a lot of squeaking. That's when Molly comes

over and tells them off. Dad Charlie has been protective too.

"It's all normal. The family is getting along well and the pups look healthy."

Bush dogs are small, wild and rare canines native to parts of Central and South America.

Darren Summers, 50, was pouring pints during a busy shift when the Omaze prize team appeared to tell him he had won a spectacular cliff-top home.

Retire

He said at the time he was planning to enjoy a “summer of barbecues” in the luxury property, at Downderry Beach, Cornwall. But, just two months later, he has now put the home on the market.

Darren said: "We've spent the most incredible summer of our

lives living at the house, we've made amazing memories with friends and family that we'll treasure forever. Omaze gives you the house mortgage-free. We knew we could have stayed for as long as we wanted. But we've decided to sell up and bank the cash as the money from the sale is truly life-changing for us."

Darren manages a pub in Rhondda Fawr, South Wales, while his wife Rebecca works for the NHS.

He added: “We’re both going to retire early, which is the best feeling in the world – having the time and the money to enjoy it is the greatest gift imaginable.”

Why Animal Farming is a Planetary Catastrophe

In 1950, when I was one year old, the world's population was about 2.5 billion. Today it exceeds 8.5 billion. As heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods become increasingly severe, concern about food security and the future of our planet has never been greater. Yet few people realise that animal agriculture lies at the heart of many of today's environmental crises.

Animal farming occupies around 87% of the land used to produce food while providing only 18% of global calories. It is the leading cause of Amazon deforestation, with cattle ranching responsible for roughly 80% of current forest loss. Every hectare destroyed weakens one of Earth's greatest carbon sinks and one of its richest reservoirs of biodiversity.

Animal agriculture is also extraordinarily water intensive. Agriculture accounts for around 70% of global freshwater use, and farm animals consume a disproportionate share of it. Producing one tonne of beef requires approximately 15,400 cubic metres of water, much of it used simply to grow feed crops that could otherwise nourish people directly.

The industry is also a major source of water pollution. Manure and fertiliser runoff overload rivers and coastal waters with nitrogen and phosphorus, creating oxygen-starved 'dead zones' where marine life cannot survive. More than 400 such dead zones have now been identified worldwide.

The impact on wildlife is equally profound. Forests, grasslands and wetlands continue to disappear to make way for grazing and feed crops, while vast monocultures replace complex ecosystems. As farm animal numbers have expanded, wildlife populations have collapsed, leaving only a tiny fraction of Earth's mammals living in the wild.

Industrial farming also threatens human health. The routine use of antibiotics in far animal production contributes to antimicrobial resistance, which was associated with over one million deaths globally in 2019. Pollutants and toxins also accumulate through the food chain into animal products.

According to the research of Dr Sailesh Rao, when the lost carbon-storage capacity of land devoted to farm animals is included, farm animal agriculture becomes the dominant driver of climate change. His systems analysis concludes that transforming our food system is essential if we are to address global warming, biodiversity loss, deforestation, water scarcity and many of the environmental tipping points humanity now faces.

The vast majority of farmed animals spend their lives in factory farms. In the United States alone, almost all chickens, pigs and turkeys, together with all farmed fish and most egg-laying hens, are raised in intensive confinement systems. Worldwide, around 75% of farmed animals are factory farmed.

Statistics can seem overwhelming, but every number represents an individual life capable of suffering.

If we are serious about protecting the climate, restoring nature and safeguarding the future, we must also be serious about changing what we eat. A transition towards plant-based food systems offers one of the greatest opportunities to reduce environmental damage while sparing billions of animals from lives of unnecessary suffering.

This article is a précis of research by Dr Sailesh Rao, systems engineer and founder of Climate Healers. Further information is available at www.climatehealers.org.

Lives remembered

Stylish star and acting chameleon

LEGENDARY actor Tim Curry, whose shape-shifting talent, booming voice and garish eccentricity lit up stage and screen for more than five decades, passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 80, his agent has confirmed.

His longtime manager and friend, Marcia Hurwitz, confirmed Curry's passing, marking the end of a truly remarkable and deeply admired career in entertainment that inspired generations of fans worldwide.

Born in Grappenhall, Cheshire to a school secretary and a Royal Navy chaplain, Timothy James Curry soon developed a profound passion for performance. He sang as a boy soprano in church before studying drama and English at the University of Birmingham.

He began his professional career in London's West End, featuring in the 1968 production of the rock musical Hair, where he first showcased his magnetic stage presence.

But his ultimate, career-defining role came in 1973 as the enigmatic, gender-bending scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the stage production of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show. Curry brilliantly reprised this iconic performance in

Tim Curry Actor BORN APRIL 19, 1946 - DIED AUGUST 25, 2026, AGED 80

the 1975 film adaptation. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, the movie grew into the most enduring midnight cult classic in cinema history, cementing the actor's place as a pop culture icon.

Curry was celebrated by peers and critics alike for his incredible versatility, frequently mastering abrasive, flamboyant and villainous roles. Memorable cinematic highlights included the manipulative Rooster Hannigan in the musical Annie, frenetic butler Wadsworth in the comedy Clue, and his terrifying portrayal of Pennywise the clown in the 1990 miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's It.

His transformative acting was also showcased under five hours of heavy make-up as Darkness in Ridley Scott's Legend, and Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island.

On Broadway, Curry was equally formidable and a revered presence.

Daily Express obituaries, every Saturday

Celebrated star of stage and screen Tim Curry was adored by a legion of fans

He earned three prestigious Tony Award nominations throughout his lifetime, including acclaimed roles in Mozart's Amadeus, the musical My Favorite Year, and King Arthur in Monty Python's Spamalot.

Following a massive stroke in 2012 that required the actor to use a wheelchair permanently, Curry displayed immense resilience. He continued to work extensively in voice acting, engage warmly with his global fanbase at conventions, and published his highly anticipated memoir, Vagabond, in late 2025.

Curry never had children or married but his legacy as a boundary-pushing artist will live long in the memory of his millions of admirers.

Meteoric rise of prolific prodigy

Eddie Richardson

Gangster BORN JANUARY 29, 1936 - DIED AUGUST 14, 2026, AGED 90

EDDIE Richardson was the younger brother of Charlie. Together, they were the notorious South London gangsters who engaged in a fierce turf war with the Kray twins and terrorised the capital in the 1960s.

The Richardson gang included George Cornell, shot dead by Ronnie Kray in the Blind Beggar pub. The Richardsons were found guilty of fraud, extortion and assault in the infamous 1967 "Torture Trial".

Using a scrap metal business, as cover they built a massive criminal empire. Eddie spent 23 years in prison, a tally that grew after a 1990 drug-smuggling rap.

During his second stretch behind bars, he found a talent for painting, later emerging as an artist. The divorced father of two daughters died of pneumonia in a Bromley hospital aged 90.

AN UNDOUBTED child star, Hayden Panettiere appeared in her first TV advert aged 11 months, and by the time she was four, she had been in more than 50 commercials.

But the beautiful American actress often spoke about the perils of her early fame.

At an age when most children are just beginning their full-time education, she was beginning a full-time acting career.

It began in 1994 when she played Sarah Roberts in the ABC soap opera One Life To Live, later playing Lizzie Spaulding in the CBS soap Guiding Light. She was nominated for a Young Artist Award at age nine, and later a Grammy, for her role as Princess Dot in the Pixar film A Bug's Life (1998).

But she was best known for her roles in the superhero TV drama Heroes and the country music saga Nashville. Her performance in Nashville earned her two Golden Globe nominations, which catapulted her to global stardom. In Heroes, she played Texas high school cheerleader Claire Bennet,

BORN AUGUST 21, 1989 – DIED AUGUST 16, 2026, AGED 36

Heroes icon Hayden Panettiere

one of several ordinary people with superhuman powers in the comic book-style hit TV series.

She also starred as Kirby Reed in the slasher horror franchise Scream.

Born in Palisades, New York, the daughter of a former soap actress and a fire department captain, she later revealed that at just 15 years old, she was given “happy pills” to make her “peppy in interviews”.

"Things kept getting out of hand. As I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn't live without," she admitted.

In 2009, Panettiere began a relationship with then-world heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko, and in 2014, gave birth to their daughter, Kaya.

The couple's on-off relationship eventually resulted in her giving Klitschko full custody of Kaya while she battled depression and addiction. Tragically, Panettiere's brother, Jansen, died in 2023 aged 28 from a heart condition.

By the time she died aged 36, she had been in showbusiness for three decades. Panettiere was found unresponsive in an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina. The official cause of death remains under investigation, she is survived by her parents and her daughter.

Lord Horam Politician BORN MARCH 7, 1939 - DIED JULY 24, 2026, AGED 87

DENNIS Skinner called him a "dirty double-rat", but plenty of politicians have crossed the floor. However, not many have done it as often as John Horam, who went from Labour to the Social Democrats to the Conservatives during his political career, serving as a minister for two of them.

He served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport for Labour under James Callaghan in the 1970s. Then he switched to the SDP in the 1980s, before defecting to the Tories. He later returned to Parliament as the MP for Orpington, serving as a junior minister for public services and science before switching to health in the 1990s.

Born in Preston, his mother Catherine ran a dress shop and newsagents, and his father Sydney was a fitter at British Leyland. Horam was head boy at Silcoates School,

Life peer Baron Horam

Wakefield, before studying economics at Cambridge. Then he joined the marketing department of Rowntree's in York and played a part in developing the After Eight mint in the 1960s.

Later, he worked as a journalist on the Financial Times and The Economist before founding the Commodities Research Unit.

He was elected as Labour MP for Gateshead West at the 1970 general election. Horam was one of the first to leave Labour for the SDP in 1981, and joined the Tories shortly before the 1987 election.

On his retirement, he was made a working life peer as Baron Horam in 2013.

Horam fell while walking home from the Lords and never regained consciousness - he died at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.

He leaves his second wife, Judith Jackson, and two stepsons from her previous marriage: Fraser and Lincoln Jopp, who was Tory MP for Spelthorne in 2024.

BEACHCOMBER 109 YEARS OLD AND METICULOUSLY DISINFORMED

WHAT links Asparagus, Winnie-the-Pooh and the Beachcomber Column? Hint: the answer consists of three letters and a number, but not quite in that order.

The solution will be revealed at the end of this piece, but before proceeding, I have a confession to make.

Occasionally in this column, I cannot restrain my imagination from adding a flight of fancy that may not be totally true. When that happens, it is solely in the interest of making it all more appealing to the reader. What you are about to read, however, unlikely as it may seem, is absolutely true and is even older than Beachcomber itself.

As I remind you every week, this column is 109 years old, having started in 1917 under various writers but assumed its true character two years later when it was entrusted to J.B. Morton.

He immediately established himself as a master of of erudition and surreal humour and he continued writing it for the next 50 years.

I have long known that during the First World War, Morton was a member of MI7b, which may sound suitably surreal but was in fact the branch of Military Intelligence responsible for disinformation and propaganda.

Sadly, the records relating to MI7b were ordered to be destroyed in 1919, but occasional memoirs and diaries have emerged including a document in 2013 revealing that A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, was also a member.

The thought of sparklingly misinformed conversations between Morton and Milne fascinated me, but my speculations became more intense when I discovered recently a list of all 20 members of MI7b.

Right at the foot of this list was Edward Heron-Allen whom I had long admired as a true British eccentric genius. In 1884, Heron-Allen wrote a definitive book on violin-making which remained in print for over a century.

He was a respected friend of Oscar Wilde, studied colloquial

Persian and was also an authority on

Asparagus- Growing, single-celled organisms and Palmistry and always wore black. He even

gained the approval of Lord Baden-Powell himself to have a black Boy Scout's uniform made. Perhaps unusually for a boy scout, he also wrote a pornographic novel, The Cheetah Girl, which was put on the Vatican's list of prohibited books.

Just as Britain recruited our finest chess-players to Bletchley Park to crack German codes during the Second World War, in the First War we recruited writers to produce and distribute propaganda. And just as Bletchley grew into GCHQ, Beachcomber, Asparagus and Winnie-the-Pooh all had their origins in MI7b during the First World War.

Now Rupert sees what Jem was up to when he went off on his own. He must have spent all afternoon arranging the ambush! Sir Humphrey looks all round, then lowers his stick. Without a word Sam takes the bundle from Jinks, lays it gently down and undoes the belt which holds the blanket in place. As the blanket is unfolded a great gasp goes up from everyone except the two rogues. "Who'd have believed it!" Sam marvels. "A merboy!" cries Rupert.

He can't believe what meets his eyes! "A little merboy!" Rupert cries.

THE ALPHABEATER

CAN you crack the Alphabeater? It's a tough twist on our popular Alphapuzzle, designed to stretch your mental muscles to the limit. Each grid number below represents a letter or a black square. As in Alphapuzzle, every letter of the alphabet is used. But now you have to complete the grid too! Use the given letters and the given black squares below the main grid to start.

To add to the fiendish fun, Alphabeater is 'rotationally symmetrical'. In other words the grid is the same if you turn the page upside down. So, for example if there is a six-letter word Across which starts in the top left corner, there will be a corresponding six-letter word Across which ends in the bottom right corner square. Every black square has a symmetrical 'twin' but the 'twin' may not always share the same number. This can help identify other black squares. Of course if the centre square is black it has no corresponding 'twin'. Solution next Saturday.

THE HIGH LIFE Rooftop thrills

Madrid's Hard Rock Cafe hits the sweet spot for TOM CAPON with its wild decor and warm welcome

There are those who love music (human beings, birds) and there are those who love music (Radiohead fans). I always thought the Hard Rock Hotel catered exclusively to the latter group, until I made a trip to its Madrid location this summer.

Tucked in the Atocha neighbourhood and a few minutes away from the station that shares its name, it's also just a 20-minute drive from the airport.

This makes it a perfect spot for exploring the city – that's as soon as you're done with the inside.

VIBE

The air conditioning in this hotel is next level – and it's the first thing I noticed as I walked into its lobby.

That was seconds before my eyes clocked the museum of artefacts in the lobby. A gorgeous Menina sculpture covered in song lyrics from Spanish pop star Rosalía sits on one side of the entrance, with a giant bull greeting on the other.

The lobby is a cornucopia of musical artefacts alongside the art, with guitars and pictures from famous rock stars and little explainers for those less in the know.

It's difficult to have so much stuff everywhere and for it to not feel kitsch, but while it certainly straddles that line, it is more exciting than over-the-top.

A wonderful touch I enjoyed was that all the staff have their favourite artist on their name tags. While checking in, I had a lovely chat with a guy about the new Madonna album – it was Pride season, after all, and Confessions II is the album of the summer. One other thing

ROOM

that struck me was how friendly and helpful all the staff were here. This is my favourite part of the hotel: I never felt like a burden, even as I asked questions about how to get somewhere or if I needed toothpaste brought up to the room.

I stayed in a double room overlooking the lobby. The beds are dreamy – I was clocking up 30,000-plus Garmin steps (if you know, you know) and resting my head on a cloud and my body on another bigger cloud really helped me recharge.

Despite music pumping from individual rooms and a Pride party on Saturday afternoon, I felt a murmur and a vibration at most.

The rooms aren't huge, which, while similar to a city centre hotel, may be an issue for those staying for longer and bringing larger suitcases. But this was mitigated by some lovely

- mitigated by some lovely touches – the soundbar makes getting ready an absolute delight,

and if you don't have any playlists, they provide you with one.

The rainfall shower was desperately needed after walking about in 40C heat, and the cherry on top? The ring light mirror – and of course I did a photoshoot.

AMENITIES

The hotel boasts a restaurant and bar in the lobby area, as well as a rooftop bar and a pool with access to a bar and food. I dined at the Sessions restaurant on the Friday night.

Its definite plus point is a huge menu, meaning even the most fussy eaters will find something, from patatas bravas to croquettes to onion rings and ribs.

CELEBRATION Madrid Pride
LIGHT THE WAY Colourful welcome

The pool is good for jumping in to cool down, but is not the biggest. The real stars of the pool area are the bookable cabanas, which are ideal for decompressing, reading a book and hoping the hangover doesn't kill you off.

I would say this is fairly standard fare – if you've eaten in a Hard Rock Cafe, you've eaten the food here.

I cannot recommend the rooftop bar at sunset enough. The city sets alight with a golden-hour glow. Sipping on a gorgeous cocktail as Madrid reveals its beauty to me is something I will never forget.

LOCATION

The location is an absolute highlight, with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, the Museo Nacional del Prado and the Museo

BOOK IT

Prices start from £224 per night based on an October 2026 stay. hotel.hardrock.com/madrid

Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza all within walking distance.

It's also on the edge of the huge El Retiro Park with so much inside (including a botanical garden) that it

would take several days to explore.

No trip to Spain is complete without churros – get the best a half-hour walk from the hotel at the famous Chocolatería San Ginés. Down a hidden alleyway, it's been serving crispy churros since 1894.

IS IT WORTH THE TRIP?

It's hard not to recommend the Hard Rock Hotel. Not only is the location one of the best in the city, the hotel is so exciting to stay in.

Couple that with comfy beds you can sink into, the minor issues were outweighed by the force of its riff.

How to steer clear of the worst seats in the house

By AMY JONES

If you're a savvy traveller, you might be able to secure your preferred seat for free when you can check in online 24 hours before departure and amend the seat that has been randomly assigned to you.

Meanwhile, others would prefer not to take the gamble and will pay extra to pre-book their seats days before the flight, particularly those eager for extra legroom.

We all have seats we prefer and those we wholeheartedly avoid, with the middle seat often a contender. However, it turns out there are other seats we should try to avoid on our next flight,

and there's a very good reason for that too.

Travel expert Ricky Durrance of Teletext Holidays revealed that booking the last row should be avoided. "They often have limited or no recline, are closest to the toilets and galley, and can be noisier with more foot traffic," he said.

Moreover, booking a seat near the back of the aircraft isn't a good choice for those who might be nervous flyers. Ricky said: "The very back of the aircraft is where you will feel the most movement during turbulence. And you may also wait longer to disembark."

This might be particularly useful for those travelling to Europe this summer, with reports of longer queues at border control, so getting off the plane as soon as possible might help reduce the waiting time at the airport.

He also advised against booking seats right next to the toilets as "this is the busiest part of the plane, and you could be disturbed." But they're not the only seats the travel expert recommends avoiding. "Bulkhead rows: these seats usually offer extra legroom, but they also have fixed armrests, which aren't always comfortable.

"And hand luggage usually has to be stored in the overhead lockers for take-off and landing," he explained.

Ricky even suggested that booking the exit rows, which offer more legroom, isn't always a good idea. "The legroom is a huge draw, but these seats are not suitable for anyone with reduced mobility," he said.

On choosing a plane seat, he added: "There isn't a universally 'bad' seat, but some are less comfortable depending on what matters to you."

For those who are nervous flyers, Ricky shared a useful recommendation that could really improve your flight. "Physics dictates that wing seats are the best choice for nervous flyers, because the wing sits roughly at the aircraft's centre of gravity, so you experience less of the seesaw effect of turbulence," he explained.

"And an aisle seat means that you don't feel quite so boxed in. Although, as with car sickness, travelling by the window can sometimes help because seeing the horizon reflects what your body is feeling." Ricky added. "If you're an

especially nervous flyer, it can also be worth booking a seat within sight of the cabin crew jump seat.

"Obviously they can't provide constant reassurance to you during the flight, but it can feel better just knowing that you're close to trained professionals."

The sun does shine when on Swiss shores

Geneva in summer can be as enchanting as it is in winter, says EMILYSLEIGHT who found vineyards, outdoor swimming and even a meal enjoyed from a cable car

've always believed Switzerland is a glamorous winter destination, probably because of its stereotypical snowy aesthetic and cosy food (think lots of cheese).

Don't get me wrong, a holiday skiing in the mountains sounds stunning, but if you've seen Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason, that's exactly how I'd imagine my experience to pan out.

So, I decided to ditch the winter coats and Christmas markets and give Switzerland a try in the warmer months – and I was chuffed with my decision.

There's always been something so captivating about its gorgeous scenery, and that combined with the scorching heatwave made my summer trip an unforgettable one.

'My favourite was the moreish Chasselas Swiss white wine'

The city of Geneva was my choice, bordered by golden vineyards glistening in the sunshine and a clear blue lake surrounded by mountain backdrops.

I arrived after a long but scenic train journey from Zurich airport (I couldn't get a direct flight from Manchester for the dates I went).

I've visited crowded European cities before in summer, and honestly, the frantic pace can put me off a little.

In Venice, I had to weave my way through swarms of tourists just to get an ice cream, so I loved that Geneva wasn't too busy, with the streets feeling fun and energised, without being too claustrophobic.

The city was a mix of classy watch shops, designer brands and old cobblestone streets in the old town with its St Pierre Cathedral and cute cafes.

JET SET Lake Geneva and Jet d'Eau

TIME FOR A SWIM

Jet d'Eau – a giant water fountain that shoots 140 metres into the air from Lake Geneva – was a focal point, which could be seen clearly as you crossed the bridge to get into the old town.

There was also plenty of swimming spots along the lake to enjoy, including Plage des Eaux-Vives, Bains des Pâquis, and Genève-Plage.

During the summer you have to pay for access to the most popular place for a swim, Bains des Pâquis, which is two Swiss francs for adults (aged 16 and over) – just under £2 – or half price for a child. Children under six swim for free.

I went a little bit further past the Bains des Paquis to a quieter area surrounded by grass and a pebbled wall for a little dip.

The water was shockingly warm, but it was the backdrop of the Swiss mountains that really made it.

A WINE I'LL NEVER FORGET

Forget zooming down the slopes because there were plenty of summery activities to enjoy in the city of Geneva.

If you're a fan of wine, the tuk-tuk tour with Welo Swiss is a popular choice, whizzing you off to the surrounding vineyards just 20 minutes away.

I was amazed how quickly the city transformed into what felt like the South of France, and as I sipped on a chilled vino surrounded by towering sunflower fields, I couldn't believe I'd once only associated Switzerland with winter.

The Domaine Les Perrieres winery in the village of Peissy was like stepping back in time, sheltering its delicious wines in an 18th-century farmhouse. My favourite had to be the Chasselas Swiss white wine, known for its green apple, pear, white peach, and citrus zest notes and a very moreish taste to say the least.

Being a bit of a wine novice, I was slightly conscious that the vineyard tour might be a little pretentious, but it was far from it.

An eighth-generation family-run winery, I was greeted warmly, and it was clear the team was very proud of what they produced – and rightly so, as it was absolutely delicious.

After a slight wine buzz it was time for a spot of lunch at Cafe de Peney.

The quiet countryside backdrop made this lunch a special one, where I practically inhaled a burrata with some of the freshest tomatoes I've ever tasted. All that was, of course, washed down with another wine as I was surrounded by lush greenery and warm Swiss sunshine.

THE CHOCOLATE

Switzerland is famous for its chocolate, renowned for famous brands like Lindt and Toblerone. I made

Find out more at geneve.com and switzerland.com extensive use of a Swiss tourist "Choco Pass" during my stay which is essentially a QR code activated as soon as you enter your first chocolate shop (and there are loads).

I went into about four different chocolate shops where I was given a brief history of each brand and an adorable little bag of chocolates to try. Each chocolate was different, with some that looked too beautiful to eat.

La Bonbonniere offered a chocolate workshop where you learn all about traditional Swiss chocolate making, then create and decorate your own chocs to take home.

It's safe to say that I won't be switching to becoming a chocolatier any time soon, but it was a unique experience that was weirdly therapeutic.

Our tour guide was patient and informative, and he also fed us loads of chocolates, which made him even nicer.

FOOD WITH VIEWS

The dinner cruise on Belle Epoque was another stark reminder of how wrong I was about the country. I tucked into a Swiss malakoff salad, a deep-fried cheese fritter combined with fresh salad and a light vinaigrette, while admiring the Swiss and French sides of the lake.

The cruise took a good four hours in total, which flew by thanks to the top-tier food and picturesque views of the lake.

As the sun went down the cruise felt even more magical, as Lake Geneva reflected a golden orange and the city twinkled at night.

Another 20 minutes in the opposite direction and you're basically in France, which is another amazing thing about Switzerland.

Or hop on a cable car and enjoy dazzling panoramic views over Geneva and Lake Geneva as the sun goes down.

Here the Vertiges restaurant offers panoramic views from the cable car arrival station. Starters cost around £15-£19 with options such as a cooling gazpacho, with main courses from £20. I'd recommend the creamy chicken supreme.

I've been kicking myself for not visiting Switzerland sooner. I wish I'd known it was just as beautiful during the summer months as it is in the winter. Turns out I don't have to make a fool out of myself on the ski slopes like Bridget Jones, and I can enjoy the country at its best in the sunshine instead.

A LITTLE SLICE OF ITALY PERCHED ON CORNWALL COAST

By AMY JONES

Port Isaac in Cornwall has been named the UK's best "destination dupe", with the pretty seaside village boasting views to rival Italy's Amalfi Coast.

Now, more than ever, Brits are eager to spend their holidays closer to home, with airport queues, flight delays, cancellations and rising travel costs playing a major factor in the switch-up.

Thankfully, there are plenty of UK alternatives that feel as though you've jetted off to Europe, with Port Isaac topping the list, thanks to its picturesque scenery.

Research from Travelodge found 44% of Brits have swapped a holiday abroad in favour of a staycation in the last year, while 94% admitted they'd consider a UK getaway if it compared to overseas destinations.

So it's no surprise Port Isaac nabbed the top spot with its dramatic cliffside position, pastel cottages,

glistening turquoise cove, winding narrow lanes and coastal roads.

The ranking comes on the back of a Travelodge poll of more than 10,000 UK residents, with participants praising its Italian-style features highly.

It's a village packed with character, boasting quaint, narrow streets lined with unique galleries, restaurants and independent shops.

There's also the traditional harbour with its slipway, known as The Platt, that remains a thriving fishing port today, as boats unload their daily catch to be served in local restaurants and pubs, such as Outlaw's Fish Kitchen and The Mote.

TV fans might also recognise the village as the filming location for hit ITV drama series, Doc Martin.

TRENDY Life on the Nervión River

With its laidback trendiness, food scene and shiny amenities, not to mention the Guggenheim, Bilbao is a cool version of the future, MILO BOYD discovers

But there is a place that is a gentler, far more liveable and a cooler version of the future, less than two hours from the UK.

"Everything here just works," a British friend told me shortly after my Vueling flight from Gatwick landed in Bilbao. "And it's really vibey."

He had moved to the Basque city of 350,000 after visiting from Malaga and instantly falling in love with its laidback trendiness.

Like him, before arriving, I knew nothing about Bilbao beyond the Guggenheim Museum, something I put down to its lack of classic Spanish holiday ingredients.

It's five miles down the Nervión River from the sea and often shrouded in cloud, meaning beach days are tricky.

Free tapas with drinks are not a thing, nor are all-inclusive hotels. But visit,

and you'll soon forget about that. Because Bilbao delivers art, music and food better than almost any city I've been to.

The Guggenheim is the obvious place to start. It towers up above the river, chrome-tile plated buildings designed by Frank Gehry to look like ships sailing into town. When it opened in 1997, the Guggenheim supercharged Bilbao's transformation from an Atlantic port town into Spain's premier cultural spot.

The gallery is better than I could have imagined. In the 55-metre central atrium,

Jenny Holzer's LED display scrolls to the ceiling, accompanying visitors as they walk up the floating staircases. Whether it's Richard Serra's massive rusted maze sculptures, Jeff Koons' huge floral puppy or Andy Warhol's One Hundred and Fifty Multicolored Marilyns, there'll be something for you in there.

If somehow there isn't, the building, with its swooping walkway that emits steam and blasts of fire at night, beneath a towering road bridge and in the shadow of mountains, will keep you entertained.

Bilbao is far from a one-trick museum pony. The Basque Museum sits in a 17th-century former Jesuit college in the Old Town, giving voice to the region's working people and

history of struggle in a razor-sharp

space complete with giant dolls standing sentry in the courtyard.

The Maritime Museum takes you down to the docks and through Bilbao's rise as a centre of iron and wool trading. A small mark against the city's futurist credentials – no mention is made of Bilbao's role as a

a detail no UK museum would now omit.

The air-conditioned museums provide respite from the summer sun, as does walking along the river's banks. A cooling breeze often licks off the water, the wind rolling down from the green hills. Locals call the valley El Botxo (the hole), due to the way the city is hidden away beneath the hills and protected from the ferocious Spanish sun.

More exposed are your legs. Bilbao's extreme hilliness has you sweating up hills and clambering up Calzadas de Mallona's 350 steps. Outdoor escalators provide assistance

'Spotless streets and a city centre river clean enough to house shoals offish'

in parts of Santutxu, where high-rises cut into the slopes make it one of Europe's most densely populated neighbourhoods. Locals beat the hills by riding electric scooters and cooling off at the numerous free water taps.

These public amenities make you feel looked after. As do spotless streets, hosed down each night, and a city centre river clean enough to house shoals of fish.

Socialist tendencies and well-funded public works are baked into Bilbao. It produced the Euskalduna dock strike, gave rise to the communist legend Dolores Ibárruri, and was central to the Basque separatist movement.

Bilbao's days of industry are behind it, replaced by a booming service-led economy, but its leftist tendencies remain.

They are visible in the graffiti, children's playparks dotted along the riverside, and the virtually free public transport system (just make sure to buy a Barik card before you board the airport bus to avoid being ripped off). And its more recent transformation to a truly international city is obvious in the food. Like Barcelona and other northern cities, Bilbao specialises in small plates best eaten beneath a parasol in Casco Viejo.

Unlike many other parts of the country where it can be tricky to find non-Spanish cuisine, you can enjoy Europe's 17th best pizza at Demaio, Vietnamese/Mexican fusion at Perro Chico, a vegan build-your-own plate at Margarito, a hefty focaccia at Molica and much, much else.

Wash it down with half a litre of Spanish lager that rarely costs more than €3.

Although Bilbao is not as well-connected as the country's bigger cities, Vueling flies from Heathrow, Gatwick and Edinburgh, with flights occasionally available for £14. From my experience, the Spanish flag carrier delivers a mid-range service for budget prices. It's a little roomier, the loading smoother, and the staff that much cheerier than its rivals.

A hassle-free way, then, to get to this future-facing city.

FOOD FEED YOUR SOUL

Brought to you by Good Food's Food Director, CASSIE BEST

Fresh lunchboxes so cool for school

As the school holidays draw to a close, it's time to rethink the packed lunch routine. These recipes are a welcome change from sandwiches, with plenty of flavour to keep snacks interesting. From portable chicken onigiri to an omelette bun and a spicy tuna wrap, there's plenty to inspire the new term

SPICY TUNA WRAP PREP: 10 MINS • NO COOK • SERVES 2 • EASY Rustle up a spicy tuna wrap for a flavour-packed lunch, which is ideal to pack in a lunchbox for either work or school. Spring onions, gherkins and capers all go really well in it too, if you want to use up what's left in the fridge

• 145g can tuna, drained - 70g mayo - $\frac{1}{2}$ red onion, finely chopped - 30g jalapeños, finely chopped, plus 2tbsp of the brine - 10g dill, finely chopped - 90g cucumber, cut into small cubes - 1tsp Tabasco or hot sauce - 2 large tortilla wraps - 1 Little Gem lettuce, finely shredded

CREAMY LENTIL & VEGGIE CURRY

1 For the filling, put the tuna, mayo, red onion, jalapeños (along with the brine), dill, cucumber and Tabasco in a large bowl. Season it all and mix well. The filling will keep chilled for three days. 2 Layer half of the filling into each wrap and top with the lettuce. Wrap with baking parchment and pack into a lunchbox. Keep in the fridge or in a cool bag until ready to eat.

CREAMY LENTIL & VEGGIE CURRY PREP: 10 MINS • COOK: 30 MINS • SERVES 4 • EASY Swap in different veg to this family-friendly curry, or add a can of chickpeas to make it chunkier. Kids can take it to school in a wide-necked Thermos

• 2tbsp rapeseed oil

• 1 onion, chopped

- 1tsp ground cumin

• 1tbsp Madras curry powder

- 200g red lentils

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes

- 11 veg stock

- 400g canned, peeled cherry tomatoes - 200g green beans, trimmed and cut into short lengths

• 4tbsp Greek yogurt, plus more for the top if you like

- $\frac{1}{2}$ small bunch coriander, chopped - $\frac{1}{4}$ cucumber, finely chopped (optional) - naan bread and rice to serve

1 Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion for a few mins until softened. Add the spices and cook for 1 min, then stir in the lentils, sweet potatoes, stock and the cherry tomatoes. 2 Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender. Add the beans and cook for 2 mins then stir in the yogurt and seasoning. Sprinkle over the coriander and chopped cucumber if using and serve with naan bread and rice.

CHICKEN ONIGIRI

CHICKEN ONIGIRI

PREP: 45 MINS • COOK: 15 MINS, PLUS SOAKING • SERVES 6 • EASY

Try these Japanese rice balls filled with a chicken, spring onion and mayo filling. You can buy an onigiri mould online to make the recipe even easier

- 250g sushi rice

• 2tbsp sushi vinegar

- nori sheets, to serve

- For the filling

- 180g cooked chicken breast, chopped into small chunks

• 1 spring onion, finely sliced

• 10g coriander, finely chopped

• 100g mayo

• 1 heaped tbsp crispy chilli oil

- 5g ginger, finely grated (optional)

1 Prepare the sushi rice. Wash the rice very well until the water eventually runs clear, then leave to soak in fresh water for 15 mins. Drain, then put in a medium saucepan, cover with 350ml water and a generous pinch of salt, bring to the boil,

then put the lid on and reduce to a low heat. Cook the rice for 10 mins. Turn off the heat but leave the lid on the rice, and then leave it to stand for 15 mins.

2 Once the rice is cooked, stir in the sushi vinegar. Spread the rice over a plate lined with baking parchment to cool completely. Make the filling in the meantime. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Keep in the fridge until you're ready to make the onigiri.

3 Use an onigiri mould if you have one. Using wet hands, smooth 3-4 tbsp rice into the larger triangle, then top with 2-3 heaped tbsp of the filling, then cover with some more rice and use the smaller triangle to shape the onigiri. If you don't have an onigiri press, then form the rice balls with wet hands, using baking parchment to help shape them. They will keep for a day in the fridge.

4 Wrap a nori sheet around each onigiri, then chill until ready to eat or pack in a lunchbox and cool bag.

y the end of August, the garden is beginning to show what has worked and what has

struggled. Some plants are still flowering strongly, some have useful seedheads or foliage, and others have clearly run out of steam. This is a good moment to walk around with a practical eye and decide what to keep, what to cut back and what to replace.

WHAT TO KEEP Keep anything that still adds structure, colour, or wildlife value.

Dahlias, salvias, penstemons, rudbeckias, echinaceas and hylotelephiums can all carry the garden into September if they're healthy and watered.

Deadhead where more flowers are possible but leave some later seedheads where they add shape or food for birds.

Ornamental grasses are worth keeping standing. Their flowerheads catch low light beautifully and will continue to give movement as the garden shifts into autumn.

Eryngiums, alliums, teasels and poppy seedheads can also earn their place, especially in naturalistic borders.

WHAT TO CUT BACK

Cut back plants that have collapsed, mildewed badly or finished untidily.

Hardy geraniums and nepeta often respond well to a trim, producing fresh foliage and sometimes another flush of flowers. Remove yellowing leaves from daylilies, hostas and tired perennials, but do not strip borders bare for the sake of neatness. Where stems have flopped over paths, cut them back or tie them in.

Good late-summer maintenance should make the garden easier to enjoy, not leave it looking empty.

Learn more about this, and other late-summer pruning tasks, in the latest episode of Step-by-Step Gardening, filmed at Blue Diamond Garden Centres' Bridgemere Show Gardens, available on my YouTube channel, @daviddomoney.

WHAT TO REPLACE

Containers are usually the first place to refresh. If bedding has stopped flowering, become leggy or looks beyond rescuing, it is worth refreshing the compost and

GROW THE PLOT THICKENS

It's make your mind up time

With DAVID DOMONEY

As autumn moves in you can assess which plants to keep, those to cut back and what needs to go

replanting. Violas, pansies, cyclamen, heucheras, compact grasses and evergreen herbs can bring a more autumnal feel while still looking attractive now.

In borders, note gaps before the foliage disappears. You may not need to fill everything immediately, but this is the best time to see where stronger late-season plants are needed. Japanese anemones, asters, hylotelephiums, grasses and autumn bulbs can all help extend interest.

JUDGE WHAT HAS EARNED ITS PLACE A plant has earned its place if it gives more than one moment of interest. It might flower well, attract pollinators, offer foliage, hold seedheads or give winter structure.

If it only looks good for a fortnight and then leaves a mess, it may need better companions, a new position or be replaced with something more reliable.

At summer's end, the goal is not to make the garden spotless. It is to edit thoughtfully, keeping the plants still working, cutting back whathas finished, and replacing what no longer adds to the display. This way, the garden moves into autumn with purpose rather than simply fading away.

ADD STRUCTURE Blue echinops, echinacea and agastache

PANSIES Great for containers

TOP 5 GARDENING JOBS

Plant colchicum bulbs now for late-season colour. These autumn- flowering bulbs can appear quickly after appear quickly after planting, producing goblet-shaped blooms before the leaves emerge in spring. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with fertile, well-drained soil, and wear gloves when handling the bulbs.

Water cranberries and lingonberries with rainwater during dry weather, especially if they are growing in containers. Both are acid-loving plants, so avoid hard tap water where possible. Keep the compost

consistently moist, but do not leave pots sitting in waterlogged soil.

Remove badly mildewed courgette leaves to improve
airflow and make harvesting easier. Powdery mildew is common later in the season,

especially in warm, dry conditions. Take off the worst leaves, but leave plenty of healthy foliage to keep feeding the plant.

Check bay, box and laurel for scale insects. Look for small, shell-like bumps on stems and leaf undersides, along with sticky honeydew or black sooty mould. Light infestations can often be wiped away by hand before spread further.

Sow winter purslane for cold-season salad leaves. Also known as miner's lettuce, it is hardy, mild-flavoured and useful for winter pickings. Sow in late summer, either direct or in trays, then keep seedlings watered while establish.

FOCUS ON CARYOPTERIS

C aryopteris is the shrub that seems to arrive just when the garden needs a lift. Its soft, blue-purple flowers appear in late summer and early autumn, bringing a fresh note to borders after many earlier shrubs

have finished. The leaves are usually grey-green and aromatic, giving the plant interest even before the flowers open.

It is particularly useful in sunny borders, gravel gardens and wildlife-friendly planting, where its flowers attract bees and other pollinators. Caryopteris × clandonensis 'Heavenly Blue' is a well-known choice, with bright blue flowers and a compact habit. 'Dark Knight' has deeper blue-purple flowers, while 'Hint of Gold' offers golden-green foliage with blue blooms.

Caryopteris grows best in full sun with free-draining soil. It dislikes cold, wet ground but can work well in containers, provided the pot drains freely.

At the end of August, care is about keeping container-grown plants watered during dry spells. Avoid hard pruning now.

Caryopteris flowers on the current season's growth, so cut it back in spring to encourage strong new stems. Fun fact: Caryopteris is often called bluebeard, a name inspired by the fluffy clusters of blue flowers around the stems.

DID YOU KNOW?

Foxgloves are cleverly shaped for bumblebees. Their tubular blooms act like little tunnels, with spotted throats guiding visitors towards nectar. Fine hairs inside help deter smaller insects, favouring larger bees that can brush against the pollen.

Walnuts, especially black walnut, are famous for juglone, an allelopathic compound found in roots, leaves and nut husks. Sensitive plants growing nearby may
become weak, yellow or stunted because of it, so choose planting companions carefully.

Asters have wonderfully poetic common names. "Starwort" reflects their starry daisy-like

flowerheads, while "farewell to summer" suits their late-season colour, arriving as the garden begins to turn towards autumn, supporting late-flying insects.

Each visible "stone" on

lithops is really a pair of swollen leaves. The flattened tops of these succulents contain translucent windows, letting light reach internal photosynthetic tissue while the plant stays disguised as a pebble, helping it cope in harsh, bright habitats.

Defiant consumers send UK business confidence soaring

BUSINESS confidence has hit its highest level since March, as resilient consumers shrug off the Iran war's impact and Budget speculation is kept to a minimum.

Optimism among UK firms rose four points in August to 53%, according to the Lloyds Business Barometer.

It is the highest reading since the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East and higher than the 12-month average.

Confidence in the health of the wider economy also rose to 49%, a seven-point jump.

As many as 64% of bosses surveyed reported feeling optimistic about the state of the UK, and those that felt pessimistic slid to just 15%.

Amanda Murphy, CEO of Lloyds' commercial arm said:

“Businesses are reporting stronger customer demand, greater optimism about the wider economy and growing confidence in their own trading outlook.

"While businesses continue to operate in a challenging environment, easing cost pressures and fewer firms expecting to raise prices in the coming year should allow them to focus less on managing headwinds and more on growth."

The jump in confidence comes even as Donald Trump's campaign in Iran

BY ALI LYON

Hope for Lloyd's Amanda Murphy

stretches into its sixth month. The Strait of Hormuz – a vital shipping lane for the oil and gas trade – has remained shut for most petrochemical exports throughout the conflict, pushing up energy prices and

choking off supplies of other crucial goods such as fertiliser.

Researchers attributed higher confidence levels to robust customer demand, which has held up despite the cost of energy and the impending risk of a resurgence in inflation.

On Wednesday, regulator Ofgem raised the energy price cap by 4% from October, while Brent crude has climbed by more than 40% since the

start of the year.

Price rises have been especially acute in refined oil products such as diesel and kerosene – used as jet fuel – the cost of which doubled practically overnight after Donald Trump's first strike on Iran.

Companies' trading outlook jumped two points to a three-month high of 58%, according to the barometer.

Meanwhile, two thirds of businesses expect an increase in their output over the year ahead.

GOODWIN PROFITS BUOYED BY CONFLICTS

DOLLAR VALUE

PROFITS more than doubled at defence supplier Goodwin amid a global rise in military spending thanks to war in Ukraine and Iran. The company, which makes radar equipment and submarine parts, said it will hand more cash back to shareholders as a result. The Stoke-on-Trent group - made up of several companies - reported trading profits up 118% to £77.5m for the year to April. Revenue rose 27% to £280m for the year, boosted by a stronger performance from its mechanical engineering division, amid high demand from the UK and US navies and submarine programmes. Goodwin said it was continuing to assess the potential sale of parts of its mechanical engineering operation.

Google to pay £260m to settle app developer case

GOOGLE'S parent company Alphabet has agreed to pay £260million to settle a class action lawsuit.

The case had alleged the US company imposed “unfair and excessive” charges on developers selling apps on the Google Play Store.

It was brought to the Competition

Appeal Tribunal (CAT) by competition law professor Barry Rodger on behalf of UK app developers.

And it claimed Google abused its dominant market position by charging excessive commissions for transactions made through its Play Store to Android customers. The parties reached the settlement ahead of a 10-week trial, it was said.

Prof Rodger said: "For thousands of UK app developers, many of them small businesses, the Play Store is the only realistic route to their customers, and they had little choice but to pay Google's commission."

Record £24bn for capital gains tax

CAPITAL gains tax receipts hit a record £24.2billion last year after rates increased under former Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

HM Revenue and Customs figures reveal the take for 2024-25 was up 89% on 2023-24.

The number of capital gains taxpayers increased by 181,000, or 45%, to an all-time high of 584,000.

CGT is paid on the profits from the sale or disposal of an asset, including businesses and properties.

In 2024 Labour increased the main rates from 10% to 18% for lower rate taxpayers and 20% to 24% for higher-rate taxpayers, on disposals after October that year.

During 2024-45, 45% of the total receipts came from those who made gains of £5million or more - a group representing less than 1% of all capital gains taxpayers each year.

Every bag of kitchen scraps and garden trimmings is free compost waiting to happen, and this 450-litre garden compost bin is where it happens. Peelings, prunings and grass clippings that would otherwise be thrown away break down into rich, nutrient-dense food for your beds, borders and pots. The black exterior draws in and holds the heat, creating the warm conditions that speed decomposition along, while ventilation holes around the sides and top keep the air moving

so everything breaks down more quickly. The water-resistant design keeps rain out, and a fitted upper cover keeps pests where they belong. Adding material, turning the compost and lifting out the finished result are all easy thanks to the top cover and front door.

HE'S GOT THE NAQ

NAQEEB (3.10) can enter course specialist territory by taking the Group Two Virgin Bet Celebration Mile Stakes at Goodwood.

Three runs around the West Sussex circuit have resulted in a win in the 2025 Listed Foundation Stakes over 1m 2f and two second places.

Originally bought as an Ebor horse for 170,000 guineas by Julie Camacho, the team made the unusual step of dramatically reducing the distance Naqeeb races over.

A half-brother to multiple Group One winners Baaeed and Hukum, my selection with a blend of speed and stamina was not beaten far in Ascot's Summer Mile 49 days ago.

ITV4's coverage starts with the British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes, in which course maiden debut

THE SCOUT MELISSA JONES Britain's top-tipster

sixth MAJESTIC FLAME (1.25) has a leading chance.

From a mark 1lb lower than his success in last year's Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Handicap, DARKNESS (2.00) is backed to defend his title after an encouraging effort at Glorious Goodwood.

HIGH DEGREE (2.35) boasts some decent form and could get the run of the Virgin

Bet A Good Bet Handicap, up 4lb for responding to first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract.

The 78-rated Tropical Sands sets the benchmark for

MARQUETRY (3.45) in the Darley EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, whose dam Ebony was a first-time out winner.

Sandown's card is headlined by the Group Three BetMGM Solario Stakes and

BREACHER (3.30), who

BREACHER (3.30), who showed good finishing speed to strike at Salisbury, is fancied to take a significant step forward.

CALENDAR GIRL (2.50)

goes for the Group Three Bet MGM Atalanta Stakes after blowing away the schwahs

with a belated seasonal debut three weeks ago. Also at Sandown, have faith in Roger Varian's KOKBASTAU (2.15) and the Gosdens' THI QAR (1.40).

SP FORECAST: 13-8 Lily Pink, 5-2 Majestic Flame, 11-2 Roku Nana, 13-2 Thespian Queen, 15-2 Rhythm Of My Heart, 16 Fastidyah, 33 Others. 2025: Wetsand 9-4, Sam James 6-4 Fav (James Owen), drawn (4), 5 ran. GUIDE: Unless there is a very strong market move for the well-bred newcomer Roku Nana, it may pay to stick with those with experience. Majestic Flame was introduced over 7f here (gd-fm) last month and created the impression a mile should be within her compass, while Thespian Queen's Kempton (7f, pol) debut was promising and she is another likely to flourish for today's additional yardage. However, LILY PINK was a good second to a more wily filly over 1m when introduced at Newmarket (qd-fm) and her proven stamina makes her the most attractive proposition.

2025: Darkness 7-8-10, Mark Winn 25-1 (D O'Meara), drawn (8), 12 ran. GUIDE: FORTY YEARS ON has won four of her six starts and is reliable enough to take another rise in class in her stride. After a ready success at Newbury (7f, qd-sft), a 4lb higher mark could be well within reach given her progressive profile. Completely Random was a respectable fourth in the Stewards Cup (6f, qd-fm) at the start of this month and is dangerous to underestimate, despite stepping back up a furlong. However, Ghost Mode is feared more after his C&D (gd-fm) success on the same day. Ironwill was a close second in that race and can go close again.

GUIDE: HIGH DEGREE had been running consistently well in defeat prior to his success at Pontefract (lm2f, gd·fm) a couple of weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see William Haggas' gelding follow up that success with another victory, despite a 4lb rise. Too Soon is an obvious threat to the selection after winning at Epsom (lm4f, sft) in June, although the 84-day break is a slight concern. Tony Montana edges out Green Sky and Classical Allusion to be best of the rest.

2025: Jonquin 3-9-1, Conn Keane 3-1 (A Boiling), drawn (6), 8 Tall. GUIDE: Zavateri won the Vintage Stakes (7f, qd) here as a two-year-old, but this may come too soon after last week's fifth behind Notable Speech at York (7f, qd-sft). Seagulls Eleven struggled in the Sussex Stakes (lm, qd-fm), having earlier finished a close third in a Group 2 contest at Ascot (lm, qf-fm), but BOILING POINT looks a safer proposition. Karl Burke's charge made a bold bid in a tough conditions race here (lmlf, qd-fm) in July when denied by only a neck and a similar effort should see the five-year-old bang there at the finish once again.

GUIDE: Evening Call made a promising debut at Newmarket (lm, qd-fm) and should see out this longer trip if her pedigree is anything to go by. Marquetry is a half-sister to a winner over middle-distances (lm2f, lm4f) in France and Andrew Balding's filly is worth monitoring in the market, but the improving TROPICAL SANDS makes most appeal. Proven over the trip, she posted her best effort so far when narrowly missing out at Haydock (lm2f, qd) last time and any further progress could see Ed Walker's filly off the mark.

Group One-winning mare Estrange retired

BY MELISSA JONES

ESTRANGE, who became a Group One winner by landing the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on her latest start, has been retired.

The David O'Meara-trained mare made it third time lucky at the highest level when beating One Look in the 10-furlong test at the end of June.

The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on October 4 and the British Champions Fillies & Mares

Stakes at Ascot 13 days later were mooted as autumn targets for the five-year-old daughter of Night Of Thunder.

But a statement from her owners at the Cheveley Park Stud said: "Estranged suffered some bone bruising during her last race, which meant she has had to have an easy time and, although an autumn campaign was being envisaged, time is running out to have her fully fit.

"Therefore [stud owner] Mrs [Patricia] Thompson feels, as she has won her Group

One, it is time to retire her to the paddocks."

Bought for 425,000 Guineas as a yearling in October 2022, Estrange

John and Thady Gosden before being sent to O'Meara (above).

After a winning debut at Goodwood in August 2024, Estrange went on to win six of her nine races, also finishing second to Minnie Hauk in last season's Yorkshire Oaks last August and Kalpana in the Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot.

"Estrange has given all of us at Cheveley Park Stud some wonderful moments on the racecourse and we cannot thank David O'Meara and his staff enough," concluded the statement.

GUIDE: THI QAR has the benefit of racecourse experience having finished a neck second at Newmarket (7f, gd-fm) and minor improvement could see her get off the mark. Flower Show is a daughter of Dubawi out of the dual Group 2 winner Raffle Prize, although she will need to get over her lack of experience to win on debut. Night Of Thunder filly Victoria Night is another newcomer worthy of consideration.

2025: Saddadd 3-9-5, Ray Dawson 3-1 Fav (R Varian), drawn (6), 12 ran. GUIDE: Stem failed to fire at Ascot (lm4f, qd-fm) most recently but is a player based on his previous C&D win (qd-fm). King's Charter finished fourth at Meydan (lm, qd) in March but he has won over this trip before at Newmarket (gd-fm), although that was off 12lb lower, which suggests that KOKBASTAU is the one to beat. Roger Varian's Wootton Bassett colt has won his last two races on the all-weather but is bred to be even better on turf and he could land the hat-trick.

Kon Tiki landed a Group 3 contest at Ascot (lm, gd-fm) last month, while Calendar Girl made a winning reappearance in Listed company at Haydock (lm, gd) recently and is a threat with that outing under her belt. However, the unbeaten SECRET OF LIFE made short work of the opposition when landing a Listed contest over C&D (gd-fm) in July and Ralph Beckett's filly looks worth sticking with.

GUIDE: Several potentially smart types on show, not least the expensive purchase Rock Montreal, who landed the odds in good style at Yarmouth (7f, qd-fm) on debut. He's entered in the Dewhurst, as is SONIC ANGEL. The latter scored at Newcastle (6f, tpt) prior to defying a penalty with consummate ease upped to 7f at Kempton (pol) and is fancied to run a big race on his turf debut with the Crisfords' yard in line form. Salisbury (7f, qd-fm) winner Breacher is held in high regard, while Alfred Wallace is a Listed winner at Ascot (7f, qd-fm) and should run a solid race.

Muir confident Breacher can sparkle in Solario

BY MELISSA JONES

WILLIAM Muir is looking forward to seeing if Breacher can keep his perfect record in the Group Three BetMGM Solario Stakes at Sandown Park today. The juvenile, co-handled by

Chris Grassick, was closing on Roger Varian's fellow debut winner Rock Montreal at the head of the market for the seven-furlong race yesterday. Muir (right) hailed

Breacher as "the best I've ever

coit beat the Sadamonite owned odds-on favourite Squadron at Salisbury in June.

"He works like a really

good horse," said Muir, whose

Stakes hero Pyledriver.

previous stable star was 2021 Coronation Cup and 2022 King George VI And Queen Elizabeth

"This is exciting for a small

stable like ours."

Search for answers to legend of Lomu

BY DAVID COUGHLAN NO ONE is bigger than the All Blacks - until Jonah Lomu.

That is how former All Black Glen Osborne sums up a life less ordinary in LOMU, a new feature-length documentary about rugby's first global superstar.

A six-foot-five, 19-stone winger who could run 100 metres in sub 11 seconds and became the face of rugby's new professional era.

Lomu was the humble icon who broke down barriers while battling a rare kidney disorder and died aged just 40.

But who was the man behind the myth?

Brilliantly put together by two directors – Vea Mafile'o, a New Zealander of Tongan descent and Gavin FitzGerald from Dublin – LOMU searches for the answers.

FitzGerald said: "He's a Kiwi, he's a Tongan, and now he's this famous rugby player, an All

RUGBY UNION Black, and I think as a young man there's a sense of confusion as to who he really is."

The 1995 World Cup made him a megastar as he bulldozed and bamboozled opponents in equal measure (below) on New Zealand's run to the final.

"It was like watching a superhero," says FitzGerald.

But along with it, Lomu was also dealing

with a debilitating kidney disorder.

Just months after the 1995 Rugby World Cup he was diagnosed with nephrotic

syndrome and spent months out.

Amazingly, he fought his way back to the 1999 World Cup, scoring two tries in the semi-final.

FitzGerald said: "It's just something about the fact that he did that from how sick he was. It's a beautiful expression of who he was." ●LOMU is in cinemas for one night only Monday, September 7. Book tickets at lomu-doc.com

Hand's down, Boks task is harder now

BY SAM MEADE SOUTH AFRICA were dealt a huge blow on the eve of today's second Test with New Zealand as Handre Pollard, their World Cup hero, was ruled out.

The Springbok fly-half (below) was left out entirely for the defeat at Ellis Park a week ago, but had been named

to returned in Cape Town at the expense of Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.

However his hopes of leading his team's response were curtailed yesterday morning as injury struck. Pollard scored all 12 points when South Africa beat the All Blacks in the 2023 World Cup final. In his absence Feinberg-Mngomezulu will return.

Cheslin Kolbe, who hobbled off a week ago, has shaken off any injury concerns and will play.

The inspirational Siya Kolisi is also named after missing out last weekend. New Zealand

S Africa v N Zealand KO 4.10pm, Sky Sports

make three changes following the 33-16 win in Johannesburg, with Leroy Carter coming in on the wing to replace try scorer Josh Moorby.

Dave Rennie has also made two injury-enforced changes, with Ethan de Groot and Josh

Lord unavailable

due to concussion protocols. George Bower and Simon Parker come in. The All Blacks

go into the match as the world No.1 side, after leapfrogging South Africa.

New Zealand head coach Rennie said: "I'm really excited about the competition for places and the performances of the squad across the matches here in South Africa."

After the third Test back in Johannesburg a week today, the two nations take their fourth Test to Baltimore in the USA a week later.

QUICK TO IMPRESS Archer produced his fastest opening spell

'I DON'T THINK THE SPEED GUN IS ACCURATE'

BY ANDY DUNN

MODEST Jofra Archer believes the Lord's speed gun was being generous to him after he produced one of the fieriest performances of his Test career.

In his first stint before lunch, Archer averaged 90.7mph, his quickest opening spell. He produced one delivery clocked at 94mph.

"To be honest, I don't think the speed gun is accurate in this game," he said, laughing

"It didn't really feel that way. But I remember playing here in the Ashes in 2019 and thinking the same thing.

"Maybe the speed guns are a little bit dodgy here... but I'll take it."

Archer took 3-26 in 11.2 overs as Ollie Robinson led the way with 4-11 from 13 overs and Josh Tongue took 2-27 from six overs.

And 31-year-old Archer believes England's quick-bowling options could extend his Test career by a few years.

Smiling, he said: "I can probably play until 40 at this rate. It is nice having extra seamers in the line-up.

"I bowled 12 overs today, in the last game I bowled nine, so it's unbelievable. Everybody is fit and firing

and every day will be someone else's turn."

Archer looks as fit as he has been for a long time and is clearly relishing his spearhead role, even though three wickets did not truly reflect his superb effort.

He added: "I haven't had luck for a few weeks now but when you are bowling you have to hang in there because when wickets come, they come in buckets.

"On this pitch, you just mix it up. If one thing is working for you, you stick with it and when it stops, you try something else."

The only thing that could possibly prevent an England win at Lord's - where they have a 261-run lead with seven second innings wickets standing - is the weather.

Archer is crossing his fingers it does not stop him getting another crack at Pakistan.

He said: "The lead is a lot of runs on this wicket. There was a ball with your name on it today, so I'm really happy with the guys and with how we batted in the first innings.

"It looked like it was doing a lot more when they started bowling in the second innings, so hopefully we can get another chance to bowl on it."

JOF AND RUNNING

Speedsters Archer and Robinson crush Pakistan

BY ANDY DUNN

WHEN Muhammad Abbas heard the clatter of his off-stump being demolished - marking the end of Pakistan's innings - he was probably a relieved man.

And you would not have blamed him. It meant he no longer had to face Jofra Archer.

If English cricket needed a reminder of what Test matches at Lord's should be about, Archer provided it.

They should not be about the backdrop of boozy shenanigans, bowlers in handcuffs and besieged captains.

They should be about the visceral thrill of a quickie making international opponents quiver.

On a day when an England series win was as good as wrapped up, Archer was in full 90-plus miles per hour flow.

His castling of Abbas was only his third and final wicket of the innings, but that did not do his performance any sort of justice.

The slowest delivery bowled in one of his morning overs came in at 92mph. So often troubled by physical ailments, a fit and firing Archer is a sight to behold. He was way too good for Pakistan. The England attack was way too good for Pakistan.

And even though the tourists produced a spirited response of their own with the ball – England finishing the day on 81-3 in their second innings – they will suffer a second defeat in the three-match series in the three matches between sometime over the weekend, unless freakish English weather intervenes.

England have a lead of 261, which, with this bowling attack and a Pakistan line-up that is flimsy and

a man short, with opener Imam-ul-Haq unable to bat due to a calf injury), would probably guarantee victory if they declared overnight.

There is no doubt Pakistan have been quite comprehensively outplayed in this mini-series, but they actually could not be blamed for feeling slightly hard done by on a couple of occasions on day two. Let's just say the ball-tracker has had a storming game for England so far.

Ollie Robinson was the beneficiary on both occasions. If the Decision Review System's triggering of Saud Shakeel looked dubious, its call against Muhammad Rizwan looked plain wrong.

Had the delivery not been stopped by Rizwan's

groin, it might have hit wicket-keeper Jamie Smith - standing up to Robinson's medium pace - on the chin.

A slight exaggeration, granted, but the three reds from the DRS three reds from the DRS were not only met with bemusement from fans of the tourists.

It was not as though England needed any outside assistance.

This is an attack that is developing into an extremely effective unit. While Archer provided the pyrotechnics, Robinson - ably supported by Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson (above) - was a metronomic master of the conditions. He barely nudged the 80mph mark, but barely strayed from the ideal length and line on a pitch that seamed, resulting in figures of 4-11 from 13 overs.

His figures for the Test summer are equally remarkable.

Fitness issues meant he missed two Tests against New Zealand after taking seven wickets against the Black Caps at Lord's in June.

Robinson took eight wickets against Pakistan at Headingley, meaning he now has 19 wickets in five Test innings this summer at an average of under nine.

And when Pakistan embark on a forlorn task in their second innings, it is highly likely he will add to his haul.

"Robinson is bowling beautifully," Stuart Broad said. "He throws it down on a length, gets movement either way, he brings the stumps into play and he gets the bounce that keeps him in the game at all times.

"He is definitely England's best exponent of the moving ball."

And Archer is definitely England's quickest exponent of the moving ball.

It was a joy to see.

Itauma recognises Tyson trap danger

BOXING

BY MARTIN DOMIN MOSES ITAUMA has vowed to copy Mike Tyson in the ring tonight - and then do the complete opposite outside it.

Itauma, 21, will become

Itauma, 21, will the second-youngest fighter, behind Tyson, to win a

heavyweight world title if he beats Filip Hrgovic at the O2 Arena.

Tyson struggled with the fame and fortune, spending three years in prison after being convicted of rape and blew hundreds of millions of dollars before filing for bankruptcy.

Itauma said: "I've always said I wanted to start off like Mike Tyson

started off, but not to

end up how Mike Tyson ended up.

"I've never been in a position where people are recognising me at places where

I don't want to be recognised, or where I just want to be left alone. Coping with that needs a certain degree of mental toughness and I'm taking necessary precautions."

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN has given himself 18 months to rescue his snooker career after crashing out of the Wuhan Open at the semi-final stage.

SNOOKER

The 50-year-old produced a series of sloppy errors as opponent Chang Bingyu wrapped up a 6-3 win.

O'Sullivan has been exasperated by his form all week, referring to a "disease" in his game, and after his latest setback he told WST.TV: "The disease came back big time. If I'm honest I don't think I will ever get over it. I will see out the next 18 months and see how we go.

"I don't want to throw the towel in just yet. I've committed to playing until then. I want to give myself a chance. I'd hate to finish my career on performances like that."

Chang will face Zhao Xintong in the Wuhan final after the former world champion beat compatriot Xiao Guodong 6-2, completing his win with a break of 124.

The Spurs boss took out members of the Lewis family, who have helped fund a massive transfer push this summer, along with club CEO Vinai Venkatesham, sporting director Johan Lange and his translator Enrico Venturelli for the meal on Thursday.

It has been a busy window for Tottenham who have signed eight players with £382 million committed in fees and potential add-ons, with Manchester City duo Omar Marmoush and Savio the latest additions.

More than £200m has come in through sales, with captain Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Luka Vuskovic among those heading out the door.

De Zerbi, who described himself as a "shark" when he sets sights on a player he wants to sign, wants the club to bring in one more player before Tuesday night to complete his set even if this transfer window has already been beyond his wildest expectations.

"I didn't expect a transfer window like we have done," he said. "I think we can do one player more in one specific position, but we went for dinner with the owner, with Vinai, Johan and Enrico.

"We spoke about this. We are all of us on the same page and there is a very good connection."

After a week in which some reports suggested De Zerbi was unhappy with the lengths he and his players had to travel on their summer tour to New Zealand and Australia, he made it clear that the meal showed how he feels.

"I paid, just so you don't write about a problem between me and the club for the pre-season in Australia, because it's not true," said the 47-year-old.

"It's a part of our job to organise and make the last plans in the last days of the transfer market, to speak about the condition of the players and the transfers we can do in the next three or four days."

While De Zerbi admitted that one of his attackers might depart before the window closes, he offered a positive update on Dejan Kulusevski, who has been out for 15 months with a complicated knee injury.

The Spurs boss must name his final Premier League squad list when the window closes and he wants the Swede in it.

He said: "I will be very, very happy to see Kulusevski in it. I want to put him on the list because he is working very well, very hard. He's a good guy and a different player.

"If [Kulusevski] feels good like now [he'll be in], he's improving day by day."

'Toon still attractive' despite exodus of stars

BY LEE RYDER MATTHIAS JAISSLE claims the chance to join Newcastle still sells itself - despite the series of high-profile departures this summer.

The German head coach (left) inherited a Toon squad that said farewell to top stars Sandro Tonali,

Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes.

But this week Jaissle signed former Spain Under-21 midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City and said: "I don't need to 'sell' a lot, with that fan base, that history, this is a special club. We have a clear idea how we want to play football, we are brave in our approach, how we are targeting the future, so I think all these aspects were influencing Nico in a positive way, so he finally was convinced to join us."

Jaissle has joked he will be banging on the door of sporting director Ross

Wilson until the window shuts. He added: "It's the first message in the morning, is to push.

"But the sporting director is doing an amazing job and trying everything. We want to be smart. We don't want to panic. I'm really optimistic things will happen."

Wirtz insists he can become a Kop leader under Iraola

LIVERPOOL v NOTTINGHAM FOREST Premier League: Today, 12.30pm, TNT Sports

BY PAUL GORST

FLORIAN WIRTZ says he's ready to embrace the demands of Andoni Iraola, insisting he can now become one of Liverpool's leaders.

And Wirtz says the club should not entertain talk of a transition season under their new head coach, as the £116million playmaker targets silverware at Anfield.

Wirtz became the most expensive signing in Anfield history when he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in June of last year, only to see his title taken by Alexander Isak (inset), who joined from Newcastle United in a £125m deal on September 1.

Much is now expected of the big-money duo this term, following the departure of Mohamed Salah, and Wirtz has come in for scrutiny on occasion during his time at the club, particularly during the opening few months, when he looked overawed by the power and pace of Premie

months, when he looked overawed by the power and pace of Premier League football.

The 23-year-old attacker admits he was very critical of his own performances last season, but believes he can now take on the mantle at Liverpool ahead of Anfield's first Premier League fixture of the new term, against Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

"I've always been very, very self-critical," Wirtz said. "I think you need that to get to the top, to get to the top of the world. That was always my goal and that's why you always have to be honest with yourself and also be critical, and look at what you haven't done well and what you need to improve.

"Of course, I like to take responsibility. I may not always be the loudest on the pitch or in the dressing room.

"Nevertheless, I try to lead the way with the way I play football and the way I stand on the pitch and simply help my team-mates.

"I've been here for a year now and I already know my way around the club better.

"That's why I think I can definitely lead the way and help put the club back in the position where it

belongs.

"As far as my physical level is concerned, definitely. I also have to go to my limits every day in training. It just makes you better when you train with top players very day and then, when the

season really starts, you play at the highest level every three days.

"Then you have almost no other chance than to get better. That's why I think I've definitely developed in my play and physically, too.

"Of course, it was also the first time I got out of my feelgood circle at home, in another country, in another culture, and that's why it definitely shaped me last year, especially because it wasn't always easy, because of course it didn't always go the way you hoped. But I took a lot of positives with me and definitely grew from it."

Wirtz's second season at Anfield sees him learning a different system under head coach Iraola, who succeeded Arne Slot in early June after signing a two-year deal.

Iraola revealed on the club's pre-season tour of the United States that he sees Germany star Wirtz as his 'No.10' and has tasked him with being the creative fulcrum of the side for the campaign ahead.

Wirtz told Sky Germany: "He [Iraola] just wants to play power football going forward. Lots of pressing. The tasks you have are actually relatively clear.

"Of course, we now have to work on making it work as a team. So not only that everyone does their job well, but that it also harmonises together. But he definitely makes a very good impression on me.

"I think he reaches a lot of players with it and that we as a team also understand what he wants from us. I think it's definitely a good start, that the players believe in it, and I hope that it will be successful."

FALSE START Wirtz hopes to impress this season after coming up short last term

GLAS NOT YET FULL

OLIVER GLASNER expects more signings at Nottingham Forest

following the arrival of striker Liam Delap.

The 23-year-old joined from Chelsea for a club-record £45million fee on Thursday, and manager Glasner plans to make further additions ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Glasner would not comment on a reported £22m Forest offer for his former Crystal Palace wing-back Daniel Munoz, but the

Austrian did admit prospective deals were close to completion.

Iraola's Reds will be watched from the stands by his wife Itziar and their two children. And he said: "My wife never normally comes to my games, but

"I think we will add two players," said Glasner (above) ahead of today's trip to Liverpool.

"But there is a football side to it and Forest have beaten us the last two years here at Anfield. They will remember it well and try to do it again."

"One we have added, that means we will have at least one more signing. Close deals, quite close to being done.

BY JOHN CROSS ARSENAL target Julian Alvarez has missed Atletico Madrid training for a third day and will not play for them in La Liga tonight.

That opens the door for the Gunners to make a last-minute push to sign the Argentina striker (right) before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Former Manchester City star Alvarez, 26, missed

yesterday's final training session before the league game at Sevilla, which caps a total breakdown in his relationship with Atletico.

He wants to join Barcelona but Atletico will not sell to their La Liga rival, though they are open to a deal with Arsenal.

Alvarez's absence is making that deal possible - though the Gunners need to swiftly settle their outgoings to clear the way.

OLD FIRM'S FAN BAN

CELTIC and Rangers have been ordered to play their next home Scottish Cup match behind closed doors.

The punishment comes following a Scottish FA disciplinary hearing into the trouble that marred Celtic's quarter-final win at Ibrox in March.

Dozens of arrests were made following clashes on the pitch after Rangers fans charged on to confront Celtic supporters, who had spilled on to the playing area to celebrate their team's penalty shoot-out

success. Both clubs must pay their opponents £100,000 in compensation for the loss of shared gate receipts at the cup ties.

Both clubs admitted charges relating to unacceptable conduct from supporters.

An independent review into the scenes previously concluded that "crushing" and "life-threatening violence" were narrowly avoided.

Celtic described the punishment as "disproportionate".

EVOLVE & RESOLVE FOR UNAI

Villa boss proves a master of PSR juggling act

BY JOHN CROSS

EACH summer has become less transfer window and more a revolving door for Aston Villa.

Every year they seem to sell core members of the squad and end up doing what resembles a supermarket sweep in the final days of the window to bring in new players.

But while Villa have Unai Emery at the helm, it is a club which goes from strength to strength when others would simply fall apart.

Emery is the reason why Villa fans are not concerned, even if they have already lost Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans, Ezri Konsa and Lucas Digne in this window with Emiliano Martinez and Ollie Watkins set to follow.

Any other club would be in meltdown if they sold as many as six key players and absolute guaranteed starters in a single summer. And yet Villa have made some very interesting signings, with the likes of Leon Goretzka, Matteo Ruggeri, Joao Gomes, Zion Suzuki, Alejandro Garnacho, Johan Manzambi, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

They have now completed a further deal, with Nicolas Jackson joining from Chelsea for £65million. Emery previously coached the 25-year-old Senegal international, who scored 30 times in 81 games for Chelsea, at Villarreal.

Ripping the heart out of a team, rebuilding and going again. Few managers could do it, and even fewer would be able to cope with turning things around so quickly.

But Emery is right up there as arguably the best manager in the Premier League.

If you look at his CV, his experience and his coaching ability, then he compares favourably with anyone.

Last year, Villa failed to win any of their opening five games and scored just once.

By the end of the campaign, they had won the Europa League (below) and finished fourth. What a turnaround.

There were shades of last season about Villa's 4-0 defeat at Brighton last Sunday. The Watkins soap opera was playing out in the background, with uncertainty in the dressing room and a nightmare first game. At the start of September 2025, Konsa described the whole situation as “crazy” and complained about the transfer window – amid the backdrop of Profit and Sustainability Rules – as “killing” Villa.

Konsa has since departed to Arsenal in a £55m deal and, even after a classy farewell to Villa fans on social media, is certain to be nervous about returning to his former club on Monday.

But Konsa is also super smart and a big character who recognised Emery's qualities as a coach and manager.

Emery is also a miracle worker because there must be a sense that PSR does its best to protect the established clubs – and this is why Villa have to rotate their squad each summer. The balance sheet and turnover should be enough to keep them within the rules.

Club captain John McGinn, talking on Gary Neville's Overlap podcast this summer, stressed how Emery holds it all together.

McGinn said: "We're used to change. We'll try to integrate new players and improve on last year.

"If we lose Emery, it's a different story. I'm still positive about the season.

"But we need to make sure we keep hold of the manager. He just constantly improves players, if they want to be improved.

"We've had players that he's given chance after chance to that don't want to improve.

"But every single day, eight o'clock at night, just watching game after game or player after player, just an obsession to win."

That obsession is what will drive Emery on.

Villa will be very different in September – and they will be right up there.

But, make no mistake, Villa will also be up for Monday night's game.

Villa fans seem to have developed a rivalry with champions Arsenal, which is not necessarily reciprocated.

But it has become a spicy fixture. And you can be sure there will be a red-hot atmosphere at Villa Park.

Not least because Emery, after losing the first game, will be determined to prove his point in the next.

BEING ON THE BALL Villa boss Emery has seen lots of comings and goings in another busy summer

Emery's tears after Watkins' 'sorry' ending

BY JOHN TOWNLEY

UNAI EMERY admitted he shed a tear after confirming Ollie Watkins is leaving Aston Villa.

And Emery revealed that the striker apologised for refusing to play against Brighton, a game which Villa lost 4-0.

Watkins (below) is now completing a £50million move to Al-Hilal, with Nicolas Jackson coming in as his replacement in a £65m deal from Chelsea.

England international Watkins made it clear to Villa that he wanted to pursue a move to Saudi Arabia, given the lucrative contract available to him.

He ruled himself out of playing on the opening weekend of the season against Brighton despite the other two strikers in the squad, Tammy Abraham and Brian Madjo, being injured.

That angered the fans and he subsequently said sorry to Emery and his team-mates, but the manager insisted his legacy is intact.

The Villa boss said: "I can tell you his commitment and his behaviour was fantastic.

"We didn't get a deal to finish his last match playing at Brighton, but he told us after the match he was sorry, and he told us as well he made a mistake.

"He was wrong, but we accepted it. The players as well, because he always had very good behaviour and commitment with the club, with us, and with me.

"And for me, it's a fantastic guy...even more than a player. And I told him 'bye' with a huge hug and with small tears.

"OK, but now it's a new chapter here with Nicolas Jackson.

"Watkins had fantastic years scoring goals, behaviour, commitment, always ready to play, even when being injured.

"The four years working with him was a high-level relationship with him as a professional.

"Last week I was a little bit

disappointed. I was disappointed, but we spoke about it, and now it's clear. He is a fantastic guy, and one mistake is not closing all the good things he did here.

"For the supporters as well. He is class, and I think it's a legacy here."

COTTAGE INDUSTRY IS NEEDED ON THE ROAD, SAYS ARBELOA

ALVARO ARBELOA has called on his Fulham side to be "very aggressive" when they face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light tomorrow.

Arbeloa's tenure as Fulham boss began with a 3-2 defeat by Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Monday.

However, the Cottagers bounced back by

Sunderland also suffered a loss in their Premier League opener last weekend - a 2-1 defeat by newly-promoted Ipswich - but they will be backed by their home fans for the visit of Fulham.

And manager Arbeloa (above), who played at the Stadium of Light on two occasions during his time with Liverpool, said: "We know away games are always very difficult here in the Premier League, so we need to play with the same character, same mentality, that we did at home, but it won't be easy for us.

Le Bris (right) guided the Black Cats to a seventh-placed finish in their first season back in the top flight since 2017 to secure European football for the first time since 1973.

Sunderland will also travel to Anderlecht, Lech Poznan and Torreense, with home ties against AZ Alkmaar, Dinamo Zagreb, Jagiellonia Bialystok and Levski Sofia.

Le Bris said: "It's iconic, Milan. It's a massive club, massive history so to get back in Europe with that fixture, it's a symbol."

The Black Cats host Fulham tomorrow, but while new signing Dayann Methalie is suspended, midfielder Jules Ahoka is in contention for his debut.

MAN UNITED v IPSWICH

Premier League: Tomorrow, KO 4.30pm

BY JEREMY CROSS

CONSIDERING how his side have started the new season, it is a scoreline Michael Carrick would not even dare to dream about: Manchester United 9, Ipswich O.

In fact, Carrick (inset) would accept a win of any kind against Ipswich at Old Trafford tomorrow. Let alone one which comes close to the historic drubbing United inflicted on them on the same ground in 1995.

Opening another campaign more in hope than expectation, United managed to burst their own balloon in 90 miserable minutes at Hull.

A shock defeat to a promoted team was the worst possible opening to a season which is expected to provide the acid test of Carrick's managerial credentials. It has piled immediate pressure on the United boss ahead of tomorrow's clash against another newcomer, in the shape of Gary O'Neil's underdogs.

Defeat is unthinkable.

Just like United scoring nine goals against the same opponents was, on that historic afternoon 31 years ago. The result – a Premier League record – has been matched since then, including by United themselves against Southampton in 2021.

But since Sir Alex Ferguson brought the curtain down on his glorious reign as manager in 2013, United's terminal decline has generally been so bad, the club has found itself on the receiving end of a shellacking, in the shape of a record-equalling

7-0 defeat by Liverpool, of all teams, as recently as 2023.

There is one similarity between this fixture and the corresponding one 31 years ago.

The two teams had gone into the game at opposite ends of the table.

Only this time United are joint bottom, while Ipswich were one of nine teams to win their open-

CAUTION OVER BALEBA BOW DATE

BY TYRONE MARSHALL MICHAEL CARRICK expects Carlos Baleba to be available to play in the next three weeks.

But the Manchester United boss is reluctant to confirm his £70 million man (left) will definitely feature before the first international break in September.

The midfielder, 22, picked up an ankle ligament injury during the summer, before his move from Brighton.

United's final game before a three-week international break comes at Fulham on September 20.

"He's got a little ankle issue," said Carrick. "So, maybe a couple of weeks or so, maybe three weeks, we'll see. But we knew that before, so it's no major issue." Asked if Baleba would feature before the break, Carrick said: "We're hopeful, but I don't want to put any deadlines on it just yet."

When Baleba is fit, Carrick has high hopes, saying: "There's so much more to come from him, which, with the player that he already is, with that little bit more to come is exciting for us."

ing game. It means no one will be turning up at the 'Theatre Of Dreams' believing United can produce their Sunday best and plough another deep furrow through the Tractor Boys' defence, let alone see a United

striker help himself to five goals, like Andy Cole did, alongside a double from Mark Hughes (right).

Reflecting on the achievement, Cole said: "It was just one of those days. It was a great feeling as well."

United had been motivated by the fact Ipswich had overdone the celebrations at Portman Road earlier in the season, having pulled off a shock win.

Fergie ordered United to be ruthless. But the result was so humiliating for the visitors that even Fergie had a rare moment of compassion, when

He was worried what psychological damage this would do to rival manager, fellow Scotsman and good friend George Burley.

In the end United settled for

one less, but it was still their biggest league win in 103 years.

Fergie said at the time: "This is the kind of performance you always dream about, but only happens once in a lifetime."

United were involved in a thrilling title scrap with Blackburn that season, one which would be lost.

Following the Ipswich thrashing, Rovers boss Kenny Dalglish reminded people it was just three points, irrespective of how it was achieved - something Carrick should care to remember tomorrow.

GARY O'NEIL has insisted Ipswich are not finished in the transfer window after another busy week at the Premier League new boys.

Argentina midfielder and World Cup winner Exequiel Palacios (above) arrived at Portman Road from Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday in the latest big-money move secured by the Suffolk outfit.

Aston Vila forward Tammy Abraham is set to join on loan and there are hopes of getting more deals over the line before Tuesday night's transfer deadline.

Ahead of tomorrow's trip to Manchester United, manager

STILL TIME FOR IPSWICH TO DO THE BUSINESS

O'Neil said: "We're hopefully not finished. We're still trying to do some business.

"As to who that is or what positions that will be in, there's no update from me.

"We're still working hard to try and improve the group, but my focus now is firmly on the game at the weekend and making sure that we're fully prepared for what is going to be an incredibly tough test."

Ipswich could have Florentino Luis involved at Old Trafford and Palacios, who played once for Argentina at this summer's World Cuo, is set to make his debut. Azor Matusiwa and Jack Taylor remain sidelined.

'EUROPE'S POSSIBLE BUT DEALS REQUIRED'

BOURNEMOUTH v EVERTON Premier League: Kick-off 3pm

BY JOE THOMAS DAVID MOYES believes "there would be a lot of work to do" for Europe to be a fair target for Everton this season.

The Toffees enter the final days of the transfer window with a smaller first-team squad than they ended the last campaign with, and without having secured a new right-back - a major summer priority.

They are also braced for a battle to keep winger Iliman Ndiaye, amid interest from Manchester City.

Everton boss Moyes (above) fears that, should his winger go, any sale would come too late to reinvest the riches.

Club chief executive Angus Kinnear last week said the ambition for this season was to mount a stronger push for Europe.

On the eve of today's trip to Bournemouth, Moyes acknowledged his team produced a shock last year by putting themselves in European contention.

He said: "There would be a lot of work to do to put us in that category, but nobody put us there last year and for most of the season we ran close.

"The positives we would take are that we probably didn't expect to do it last year, so we probably go into this season thinking pretty much the same, but you never know.

"We have started the season well and the players have started the games well, so that gives me hope that it could be a possibility."

Moyes is desperate to hang on to Ndiaye. Responding to City's interest, he said: "The first thing I would say is I'm certainly not encouraging a bid, that's for sure.

"I'm not encouraging that in a million years."

Everton believe they hold the cards over Ndiaye's future, given he has three years left on his deal.

His refusal to sign new terms this year is problematic, though, and he has stated his ambition is to play in the Champions League.

Should a bid come in large enough for Everton to accept, Moyes fears the timing would not allow them to adequately replace the Senegal forward.

He said: "It would be very difficult to get it reinvested. We are getting into a really late period now."

Reflecting on the window, Moyes said: "We need to do more. I'm saying there's not much time but I'll still try to see what we can do. I think we need to do much more if possible."

One option - regardless of what happens with Ndiaye - is a return for former loan star Jack Grealish. Everton have remained in conversation with the Manchester City player's representatives through the summer.

TOTH CHANCE FOR PACKED CHERRIES

will get more of an opportunity.

ALEX TOTH is banking on Bournemouth's historic first season in Europe to be the catalyst for more minutes under Marco Rose.

But with the Cherries now needing to juggle European football with the domestic schedule, Toth (above) is hoping he

Speaking ahead of today's visit by Everton, the 20-year-old, who

came off the bench in the defeat by Manchester City last weekend, said: "We have a lot more games with the Europa with the Europa League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup. With these chances, you have to take them.

"It's on me. If I'm given a chance, I have to take it."

HELD TOA DESIRE STANDARD

Alonso wants Blues players with the right mindset after leaving Enzo out of cup tie

Premier League: Tomorrow, KO 2pm

CHELSEA v BRIGHTON

BY ROBERT O'CONNOR

XABI ALONSO says he wants players that "feel a desire to play" for Chelsea after Enzo Fernandez was left out of the squad for Thursday's Carabao Cup win over Luton.

Manchester City are trying to push through a deal to land the Chelsea midfielder as a replacement for Rodri before the transfer window shuts on Tuesday.

Alonso dismissed reports in Argentina that Fernandez asked not to be involved in the game against Luton, which the Blues won 2-0.

But speaking ahead of tomorrow's Premier League game at home to Brighton, the Chelsea boss said: "We need the players that are in the best situation to play.

"We need to take everything into consideration – players that are in good moments, players that are not feeling that energy to play. It's very important that they feel that desire to play and to have good preparation.

"We talked, and we decided that (for Luton) it was better not to be part of the squad. He's a top player, there's no doubt about that."

Asked whether Chelsea would re-enter the market should Fernandez leave Stamford Bridge, Alonso added: "We have to be ready always."

There has been a raft of departures from the club in recent days, with defender Mamadou Sarr the latest to leave, joining Real Sociedad on loan. Liam Delap was sold to Nottingham Forest for £50m on Thursday.

Alonso, who previously said his squad size needed to be drastically cut, said: "We are quite close to the plan that we had. We will see where we finish, if it's fully executed or there are some things still to be done.

"But overall the balance of what we have is going to be good. We need to see how the last few days develop."

One of Chelsea's summer signings, Danny Welbeck, opened his account against the Hatters. The 35-year-old's goal helped the Blues book a third-round tie at home to Leeds.

"He has many qualities," Alonso said of the former Brighton striker. "As a player you see how intelligent he is. He links well. Out of the box he is able to combine. In the box he is very intelligent to be in the right place.

"On a daily basis, he is a great influence for the rest of the players. He trains really hard.

"He is raising all the standards in training and that is something we think is very important."

Alonso has confirmed that Levi Colwill and Geovany Quenda should be available for selection against Brighton tomorrow.

"With Levi, we know three games in a week after the injury, missing a period, he needs to take the right steps, we don't want to push him too much. So he feels comfortable," said the Spanish coach.

Colwill missed the whole of last season due to an ACL injury, with Alonso seemingly managing the centre-half's workload as he eases him back into the first team.

Quenda has also been recovering from a minor injury of his own, which has kept him sidelined up until now.

THIS IS THE DEAL Xabi Alonso tries to get his point across to Fernandez as he builds a new Chelsea

HURZELER STILL SWEET ON MINTEH

FABIAN HURZELER hopes Yankuba Minteh can heal quickly and become an important player for Brighton again as he called for commitment from the winger amid interest from Liverpool.

The 22-year-old (left) joined the Seagulls from Newcastle in 2024 and has scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 66 Premier League appearances.

Minteh's performances led Liverpool to make a couple of bids, the second in the region of £60m, for the Gambia international, who has yet to feature this season due to a leg injury.

Seagulls boss Hurzeler said: "He's doing rehab now. I said that it won't be a short-term injury.

"It will take a few weeks, so hopefully he can heal fast and become an important player for us again."

Hurzeler has been speaking to Minteh during his absence about Liverpool's interest to understand the player's thoughts and express the club's stance.

"He's a player from Brighton and at the moment there's nothing else to say," he said. "I demand from him that when this window is closed, that he's fully committed to this club.

"Of course, there are always dreams of players and there are some wishes from players.

"But, in the end, we always need to figure out what is best for the club and therefore we are in exchange with him.

"At the moment, he's definitely a Brighton player. I can't say anything more, so let's see what happens."

RESPECT TIGERS FEAT Lampard knows Hull could spoil the party

COVENTRY v HULL

Premier League: KO 3pm

BY BARRY COOPER

BY BARRY COOPER FRANK LAMPARD insists Hull deserve their full respect as he prepares for Coventry's first home game in the Premier League for 25 years.

Coventry host the Tigers today looking to bounce back after losing 3-0 at

champions Arse- nal last Friday in their season opener, while Sergej Jakirovic's men beat Manchester United 2-0.

Despite the Sky Blues deservedly winning the Championship title last season and finishing 22 points ahead of Hull, Lampard's side failed to score in both league games against the Tigers.

Lampard's men may be viewed as favourites by some, against a backdrop of excitement in front of a sold-out and expectant CBS Arena, but the former England midfielder knows how dangerous Jakirovic's men can be.

"You can't disrespect Hull because they've just beaten Manchester United in their first game and they will be feeling very good about themselves," Lampard (right) said.

"It is a different challenge to what Arsenal was.

"We're honest about it, I will never talk Hull down, and I think the expectancy level from

SHOCK TROOPS Hul's Nobel Mendy with John Egan after scoring in win over Man United

our fans and from everybody will be, 'Well, Coventry can really compete'.

"We may be favourites for this game when it was the opposite last week, but that becomes a bit regardless once the game starts.

"We have to understand they'll make it very difficult for us.

"They had threats. Their set-pieces were clearly a threat last week. So, we have to understand all parts of the game.

"Do we want to focus on us and believe in ourselves about what we can do when we play here

with a crowd behind us? Absolutely.

"So, I'm excited to see the team play, from a long time of having a real competitive game here, I'm excited to see what we do."

The Tigers caused plenty of surprise on the opening weekend by delivering a terrific display against United, scoring both goals from set-plays, something Lampard says his side must be wary of.

"They were impressive," added the former Chelsea boss. "I didn't learn much, and I don't mean that lightly. I knew they were a difficult team to play against.

"We drew nil-nil twice with them last season. They're very well organised, always a transition threat and big boys. Set-pieces will always be something to focus on. It was a very impressive performance by them and I think you have to say well done.

"Very difficult to play through and, again, they always maintained a threat, which is kind of how they played a lot of the time last season and why they are in the Premier League."

RYAN EYEING EARLY POINTERS

BY BARRY COOPER

RYAN GILES understands why many have labelled Hull's trip to Coventry a 'relegation six-pointer' - despite it being just the second game of the season.

Both clubs were promoted to the Premier League last term, with the Sky Blues claiming the Championship title and the Tigers winning the play-off final.

The two clubs - along with Ipswich - have largely been written off by many, with the three promoted teams backed to make an instant return to the Championship.

While Coventry had a daunting trip to champions Arsenal last Friday night, which they lost 3-0, City and the Tractor Boys both won their respective home games, with the Tigers stunning Manchester United 2-0.

Giles (left) says he is not surprised the meeting between the two clubs has been pencilled in as a proverbial six-pointer.

He said: "It's a massive game against Coventry. We know how big that's going to be.

"The intensity of the games is so high. The lads need to get used to that level, then we'll go there and give it a right good go.

"It's tough. Teams move the ball so fast, any little gap they play through and they're in on your goal."

DIOUF HAS TARGET TO SOAR HIGH WITH BEES

LEEDS v BRENTFORD Premier League: Tomorrow, KO 2pm

EL HADJI MALICK DIOUF immediately bought into the feel-good factor at Brentford by declaring he wants to "win the league".

The Senegal left-back (above) has moved to West London from West Ham in a £40m deal.

The 21-year-old defender has signed on for five years at the Gtech Community Stadium with the option of another season.

And when asked about his ambitions for his time at the Bees, Diouf said: "Why not win the league?

"I want to have a big role here. I think you have to be patient and try to grow.

"I watched them a lot last season. The team is very athletic and I have that profile as well, so I think I can adapt well."

Brentford have built a reputation over the years for doing detailed due diligence on players.

Diouf is no exception as he admitted manager Keith Andrews and club officials told him things about his game he barely knew himself.

He added: "I think they gave me a good plan. I spoke with the manager and he gave me a good plan for how I can develop, so I think it's a good place for me to be.

"They have seen things in me that maybe I didn't see myself.

"They're looking forward to helping me and I'm really happy with the plan. I'm

looking forward to continuing my progression."

In contrast to Diouf, Andrews insisted "nobody at Brentford is getting carried away" despite the club's strong start to the season.

The Bees have scored nine times in their opening two games - putting three past Tottenham in their Premier League opener before they thrashed Birmingham in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Andrews' side will be hoping to maintain their winning ways when they face Leeds at Elland Road tomorrow.

But the Bees boss, who oversaw the club's impressive ninth-placed finish in the league in his first season in charge, said: "Nobody is getting carried away. It has been one league game and one cup game. The boys are in a good place. And we've worked really hard to get into that place.

"The game gives you absolutely nothing. You've got to go on and earn it and that'll be no different on Sunday.

"We are going to face a really good side, at a competitive and aggressive Elland Road, and all the challenges that brings.

"But the boys are feeling really confident, enjoying their football, enjoying being together, so we will hopefully keep that going."

PERRI OFF AS FARKE GETS ZETT TO MOVE

BY ISAAC JOHNSON DANIEL FARKE has confirmed that Lucas Perri has been given permission to leave Leeds, with the club lining up Michael Zetterer as his replacement.

Keeper Perri (inset) has been filmed landing in Torino ahead of his loan switch, which will include an option to buy, while Zetterer arrived in England yesterday afternoon ahead of his transfer from Eintracht

Frankfurt as a back-up for England international James Trafford.

He would become the fifth summer signing after Harry Wilson er Harry Wilson, Nico Elvedi, Tarik Muharemovic, and Trafford. Boss Farke said: "Yes, it's

correct that we have allowed Lucas Perri also to travel, and it's also correct that we are pretty close to bringing someone in. But I want to speak about this once it's confirmed."

THE BETTING

BACK TOON TO BOSS IT AT SPURS

Jaissle a baby-faced assassin

BEST moment of last weekend's big Prem kick-off?

Without a doubt, events at Newcastle when both Toon and Kop fans paid a heartfelt tribute to Kevin Keegan.

As the Sky commentators pointed out, the match that followed was played in a buccaneering style that King Kev would have loved.

So putting all that incredible emotion aside, it got us thinking about the merits of Newcastle this season.

The Toon had been written off in some quarters before a ball was even kicked. Yes, they have lost some star midfield names as well as their well-respected manager Eddie Howe.

But have those critics fallen into the typical 'never heard of the new boss' trap? Toon boss Matthias Jaissle looks baby-faced. But is he, in reality, an assassin?

We've been here before.

Other fresh-faced bosses – like Andoni Iraola, when he arrived at Bournemouth, Fabian Hurzeler at

Brighton and Regis Le Bris, who has rejuvenated Newcastle's arch-rivals Sunderland – were treated with suspicion because they hadn't proved themselves at Stoke on a mythical wet Wednesday.

But they went on to show you dare not judge a new boss purely by his lack of wrinkles.

Herr Jaissle certainly got a tune out of the Toon, and although it's very early doors, we can't see why they can't ride the Keegan wave and get a result at Spurs, who still feel very Spursy.

Brentford, brilliantly marshalled by another managerial pup in Keith Andrews, tore Spurs to shreds in their opening clash.

Tottenham may have cruised through the Carabao Cup in midweek, but beating a second-string Charlton side shouldn't scare the Magpies, who impressed on cup duty as well.

We'll take Newcastle to nick it at 19/10 (Skybet).

We'll also have a dabble on a Toon win and both to score at a tempting 4/1 (Skybet).

King Kev would luv it, really luv it, if we were right.

In our relentless search for value in the Premier League this weekend, our eyes surprisingly fell on Arsenal's Monday night visit to Aston Villa.

Odds for an Arsenal win are way too skinny, but during the Gunners' exciting start to the season, we've been particularly impressed by Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian looks back to his best, and the way Brighton's midfield runners cut through Villa's defence last week, we can see Odegaard running the show.

He's notched in Arsenal's last two games, and we fancy him to score again at any time (17/4, Coral).

We'll also have a punt on him opening the scoring for the champions at 10/1 with Paddy Power.

POSH FACE BATTLE TO STAY WOKE

LEAGUE ONE ROUND-UP

BY JASON MELLOR LUKE WILLIAMS admits PETERBOROUGH have a fight on their hands to keep in-demand striker Bolu Shofowoke.

The 17-year-old (above) was already attracting a posse of scouts - and then scored his first senior goal in the midweek Carabao Cup win at Watford.

Ahead of the trip to BLACKPOOL, Posh boss Williams (right) said: "Of course clubs will be interested in Bolu.

"He's still very young and only just settling into first-team football.

"It's incredibly difficult to make the adjustments he's made, so I hope everyone appreciates how remarkable his progress has been."

Top-of-the-table BRADFORD - the only side in the division with a 100 percent record after two games - could hand a debut to George Pratt at PLYMOUTH. The 22-year-old defender has joined on a season-long

loan from Blackburn. Clayton Taylor is having trouble understanding some of the locals after joining BARNSLEY.

The Aussie Under-23 winger is pushing for his first start at LEYTON ORIENT and revealed: "Some of the time, people say something and I kind of just nod my head and go

along with it. But I'll get there."

It is the end of an era at Hillsborough as the man inside SHEFFIELD

LEAGUE TWO ROUND-UP BELL VALUES CREWE KIDS AT MILLIONS

BY JASON MELLOR LEE BELL has 'a couple of million' reasons to be relaxed about keeping his in-demand CREWE youngsters as transfer deadline day looms.

The Alex academy keeps churning out stars of the future, helping the club to a 100 percent start.

Ahead of a derby trip to PORT VALE, boss Bell (above) insisted: "We're really calm going into the last week of the window.

"None of our players will be leaving unless someone comes in with a couple of million quid for them."

Tom James is happy for BRISTOL ROVERS to lose their 'entertainers' tag - as long as they keep banging in the goals.

Steve Evans' side have shared 13 in their first two games and go in search of back-to-back wins at CRAWLEY.

The 30-year-old defender said: "Tightening up at the back is something we've spoken about. As a team we need to be better and we're working on it.

"We're being clinical going forward, but getting clean sheets is what's going to take us up the league."

Josh Austerfield is set to make his ROTHERHAM debut at home to CHESTERFIELD after the 24-year-old midfielder sealed a move from SALFORD.

Gareth Ainsworth insists GILLINGHAM can shake off a slow start as they look for a first win at home to NORTHAMPTON.

The Gills have picked up just one point so far.

Boss Ainsworth said: "One of the things I'm really proud of at every club I've been at is that the dressing room really does come together when things go against them - and they have done here."

RETURN IS SO GOLDEN FOR RUDDY

WOLVES v STOKE Championship: KO 12.30pm

BY JASON MELLOR

JOHN RUDDY cannot wait to get 'hands-on' at Wolves after rekindling his Old Gold glove affair.

The veteran keeper has returned to Molineux after a four-year absence, and immediately set his sights on lifting the Championship title for a second time after tasting success in 2018.

Ruddy (above), 40 in October, has signed a 12-month deal and said: "As soon as it became clear there was an opportunity to come back, it was something I couldn't turn down.

"I'm more than happy to be here and play whatever role is needed - on or off the pitch or in and around the group. The affection I hold for the club has never gone away."

Stoke City have lost their first two games and boss Mark Robins said: "I'm not happy because we've not picked up a point yet."

MIDDLESBRO v WEST BROM Championship: KO 12.30pm

NEW STAR IS TUNDE & LIGHTNING

BY JASON MELLOR

KAREEM TUNDE has been handed a licence to thrill as West Brom's new arrival sets his sights on a Premier League return for the Baggies.

The Spanish winger has joined from La Liga side Levante and he is keen to hit the ground running when James Morrison's side tackle promotion rivals Middlesbrough this lunchtime.

Tunde (above) said: "I've spoken to the manager and he wants me to express myself, play my game and play with confidence. I want to excite the fans and make things happen for the team and I can't wait to get started."

Boro have yet to hit the heights this season - despite winning three of their four games - but new arrival Kyle Joseph believes things will soon start to click.

He said: "We've all got faith in how exciting this team can be and the lads are pushing each other to get better."

Midfielder over his injury hell and vows: My time is now!

BY ANDY DEAN MIDFIELDER Aaron Ramsey

is starting to feel like a 'full footballer' again and wants to help Burnley get back to winning ways.

The 23-year-old has been limited to just 17 league appearances for the Clarets since joining for £12million from Aston Villa three years ago.

He suffered a serious knee injury against Arsenal in February 2024, which kept him sidelined for 14 months, and then endured an injury-hit loan spell at Leicester last season.

In his absence, the Clarets failed to win any of their final 13 games and are winless over 90 minutes in the first four of this campaign, under new head coach Nicky Hayen (right).

But fit-again Ramsey, who has started both Champi- onship matches so far, is out to ensure a winning run starts

NORWICH v BURNLEY

Championship: KO 3pm

today at his former club, Norwich. He said: "Since I was six or seven, all I have known is playing football and to have that taken away from you, without your control, is hard.

"Coming in every day and not being able to put your boots on or even smell the grass... instead you are in the physio room and normally doing something you don't enjoy.

"Being a footballer is crossing the white line and touching the ball, and I felt like I had lost that. I felt like I wasn't a football player any more.

"You have to grind and use that to get back to being a full player again.

"I won't feel fully match fit until I've played about 10 games, but to see I was starting

the first game of the season was amazing, having put in all the work in pre-season and getting my body as ready as it can be. The results haven't been great but we are in a process of change – new players, new manager and new staff.

"We've been here before as a club and we know it will take time, but as long as we all give our all and stick together, I am sure it is going to turn and hopefully that's against Norwich."

Hayen expects to have star

Rinker Zian Flemming available to face the Canaries at Carrow Road this afternoon.

The Dutch striker, who scored 11 goals in the Premier League last season, is rumoured to be a target for Lille, Everton and Leeds ahead of

Tuesday's transfer deadline.

He missed the 3-1 defeat at West Brom last Sunday through injury and only played 10 minutes in the Carabao Cup loss to Bradford on Wednesday night.

But Hayen said: "He has trained well the last few days and is ready to play. He will travel with us to Norwich.

"There was an offer for him but it was not high enough. Zian is here and we are trying to keep him here."

DIONISI TELLS HORNETS: BOUNCE BACK AFTER PETERING OUT

BY JASON MELLOR

ALESSIO DIONISI challenged WATFORD to bounce back from the 5-1 Carabao Cup humiliation at home against League One Peterborough in midweek - when the Italian coach's decision to make 11 changes proved costly to the Hornets.

Watford host WEST HAM today and Vicarage Road boss Dionisi (left) said: "We're up against probably the best team in the league and it's an opportunity for everyone. We're lucky that there's always another day." Table-topping MILLWALL are

favourites to make it three wins from three as they travel to SOUTHAMPTON - but boss Alex Neil is wary of the Saints.

The Scot (right) warned: "Going to St Mary's is always difficult because they're got a top squad for this level."

Chris Cohen has put his friendship with Steven Schumacher on hold as LINCOLN travel to BOLTON. Imps' head coach Cohen worked under his Trotters counterpart at Stoke, and he said: "Steven's a good friend and we speak all * the time but we haven't this week." CHARLTON defend one of only three 100 percent records in the division as they host pointless PRESTON.

BRISTOL CITY go in search of a first victory of the season at home to PORTSMOUTH.

Winless DERBY are yet to keep a clean sheet and will face one of the Championship's most impressive forward lines when

SWANSEA visit. Rams head coach John Eustace said: "We've got to start being a little bit more difficult to score against."

SHEFFIELD UNITED make their second trip to South Wales in a week, hoping to build on last Saturday's stalemate at Swansea when they travel to CARDIFF, who are also looking for a first win of the league campaign following back-to-back draws.

Julien Stephan believes the size of the pitch at Ewood Park will provide a challenge for his unbeaten QPR when they go to BLACKBURN ROVERS.

The Rangers boss said: "Their pitch is huge, so it's a bigger space to defend, but a bigger space as well to attack."
