权力下放必须促进
就业，而非官僚机构
英格兰东北部领导人敦促首相减少繁文缛节
撰文：乔纳森·沃克（白厅编辑）
英格兰东北部的领导人敦促首相安迪·伯纳姆确保其权力下放计划为当地民众创造就业机会，而非为政客和官僚机构服务。
达勒姆、盖茨黑德和桑德兰市议会联合呼吁首相减税、取消规划繁文缛节并降低该地区能源账单。
他们表示，此举有助于创造数千个就业岗位——包括国防行业——但同时警告不要增加额外的官僚机构层级。
英格兰东北部传统上是工党的核心地带，但这三个地方议会目前均由改革党领导。
伯纳姆先生公布的权力下放计划包括向地方市长授予更多权力，并在曼彻斯特设立"唐宁街北部"办事处。
但亚当·斯密研究所智库的一份报告呼吁在英格兰东北部五个地点设立"企业特区"，并制定特殊规则支持企业发展。该报告称，位于高汉宁、夸灵顿山、高皮廷顿、布莱登采石场和纽本里弗赛德的公有土地，将是打造蓬勃发展的国防工业的理想之地。
达勒姆郡议会的凯尔·格尼尔表示："任何为达勒姆郡带来就业的提议都必须造福于当地居民。
“这意味着要发扬我们的工业和军事传统，同时为达勒姆郡民众提供高质量、有回报且长期的就业机会。”
盖茨黑德议会领导人尼克·艾伦表示，“建立国防生产中心”将为该区实现多个目标。桑德兰市议会领导人克里斯·埃尼翁则称这一“创新构想”将“极大提升我们的制造业基础”。
亚当·斯密研究所的米切尔·帕尔默表示，在英格兰东北部专注于国防制造业的提议将“提升一个挣扎地区的地位、试点可能在全国推广的改革，并让英国更好地保护自身”。
“这暴露了沙巴娜·马哈茂德松懈的签证制度——入境要求更为严格的国家”
来自头版
根据“全球打击跨国有组织犯罪”报告，在其他入境要求更为严格的国家，英国的签证制度却相对宽松。
该组织项目经理朱莉娅·达米科在报告中写道：“多佛已沦为临时聚集地，人们在桥下和货运停车场附近栖身，场景令人想起加莱丛林。”
昨日在肯特郡港口小镇，人们在桥下遗留的睡袋、衣物及其他垃圾中，看到了这一新兴贩运交易的证据。
一名在多佛露营的塞内加尔男子表示，“到处都有人睡觉”，包括公园和沿海滨。这
暴露了英国边境的又一明显漏洞，正被犯罪团伙所利用。
影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普表示，在内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德治下，边境陷入“混乱”。他补充道：“她无法阻止非法移民入境，现在看来，她甚至无法阻止他们将英国作为中转枢纽。”
紧急状况
“这些人无法直接获得进入申根区国家（如法国或西班牙）的签证——但显然他们能拿到进入英国的签证。
“此事再次证明沙巴娜·马哈茂德的签证制度有多么松懈——让那些法国和西班牙不会允许入境的移民进入英国。签证制度必须立即收紧，让这些移民根本无法踏入英国。”
肯特郡议会改革派领导人林登·凯米卡兰表示：“有组织的犯罪分子正将我们的郡视为某种‘到达与出发休息室’：出租车将他们丢在肯特的公路休息区，卡车在我们的货运停车场装载，人们随机睡在多佛的桥下等待团伙将他们转移。在肯特，我们正面临非法移民紧急状况，我们已经忍无可忍。”
犯罪团伙正利用英国边境的松懈，提供前往法国、德国、西班牙及其他欧洲目的地的路线，通常通过将移民偷运至车辆上实现。
这些路线中的许多正在TikTok上被广泛宣传。
但据了解，尚未有单一网络控制英国至法国的路线。库尔德团伙控制着前往英国的小型船只出发点的绝大部分。
D'Amico女士补充道：“这些团伙决定谁从何处出发，他们划定了区域并因发射场地展开暴力竞争。在多佛并未出现此类整合；相反，英国市场类似于走私经济的早期阶段，在执法压力选择最能生存的行为者之前。”
“在这里，来自阿尔及利亚、罗马尼亚、波兰、立陶宛和南亚的个人负责招募、运输和藏匿，没有任何单一团伙控制整个链条。”
英国国家犯罪局
确认跨英吉利海峡贸易中的犯罪团伙提供双向路线。
塞内加尔失败寻 asylum 者阿姆斯·贾沃（20岁）在英国待了18个月后，在多佛接受了《每日快报》采访。
他说：“确实有人会去法国，但坐卡车风险很大。人们离开是因为遭到拒绝。如果被拒绝，你无权留下，也得不到任何帮助。在此之前，人们无处安身。他们在这里，晚上睡在公园里，睡在滨水区。”
今年1月，23名孟加拉国男子
在一辆卡车接近多佛轮渡港时被发现。
五名涉嫌偷运移民者被指控密谋将移民转移出英国。
三名出租车司机（年龄在43岁至55岁之间）因涉嫌协助非法移民分别被捕，一名32岁的罗马尼亚卡车司机也被逮捕。一名43岁男子（涉嫌为该网络的主谋）在伦敦东南部的新十字区被拘留。约3 万英镑现金也在一处房产中被扣押。
该团伙据称专注于试图将巴基斯坦和孟加拉国公民偷运出英国。D'Amico女士表示：“当局的应对方式将影响局势的发展。
“对一个碎片化的走私环境持续施压，未必能消除它；相反，这会有利于最能承受风险并规避侦测的团伙。”
强制手段
"这些犯罪团伙往往资金更充裕、组织更严密，并且更愿意使用强制手段。
"多佛如今正处于十年前加莱的位置，当时一个相对开放的市场开始围绕少数几个主导性网络进行整合。
"英吉利海峡的走私活动不再仅仅是单向现象。它双向流动，利用共享基础设施，由两个不再对齐的法律体系中的差异所驱动。
"认识到这一点，是朝着更加协调的英欧应对措施迈出的第一步。"
英国国家犯罪局表示："参与将人们非法偷运出英国的同一犯罪团伙，往往也参与将人们偷运入境。这正是为什么打击他们至关重要，而国家犯罪局正在对这类犯罪活动展开多项调查。
"这些犯罪团伙不仅威胁到英法两国的边境安全，还危及他们运输的生命。我们已见证人们利用这些团伙的服务规避法国签证限制或逃避执法部门的注意。"
英国内政部表示："我们正与法国密切合作，防止非索马里移民企图利用国家边境进行渗透。
"我们已实现对犯罪偷运活动的破坏力度创历史新高，包括逮捕、定罪和查获，在截至2026年3月的年度内增长近50%"

保守党议员詹姆斯·克莱弗利爵士
工党"将在绿带地区建造新住宅"
作者：凯蒂·哈里斯
为实现房屋建设目标，工党可能在英格兰绿带地区建造新住宅。
政府已公布在铁路站附近兴建数千栋住宅的计划。
但住房大臣马修·彭尼库克承认，褐地场地的土地不足。
当被问及"默认批准"规划政策是否适用于绿带地区时，他对天空新闻表示："对于包括绿带地区在内的、位于定居点外的交通便利车站，该默认政策适用。"
目标
他补充道：“我们知道，全国各地的棕地土地登记册上没有足够的土地来满足我国每年所需的住房数量，至少那些可行且位置合适的住房。”
“所以，在特殊情况下，应该开发绿带土地。”
尽管首相安迪·伯纳姆承诺进一步下放权力，但规划改革意味着如果地方立场与国家政策不一致，其重要性将降低。
保守党影子住房大臣詹姆斯·克莱弗利爵士表示：“安迪·伯纳姆大谈特谈权力下放，但他正在利用规划体系将寻求庇护者强加给英格兰中部地区，现在他又要在绿带开发问题上推翻地方议会的决定。”
昨天，住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳坚称工党正在按计划实现其五年内建造150 万套住房的目标。她说：“我非常清楚我们需要这些住房。”
随着英国在连续数周热浪后面临干旱，汽车清洗店和私人游泳池可能面临限水令。
政府情景规划师已警告称，如果干旱状况持续，非必要用水禁令可能会大面积蔓延。
非必要用水禁令（NEUBs）禁止企业将水用于汽车清洗、擦窗和补充私人游泳池等活动。
水务公司申请限水令，但必须获得部长批准。
今年夏天，数百万户家庭已被禁止使用软管浇水。
一位政府发言人表示：“我们正在为各种情景做准备，并与国家干旱小组合作，以维持供水。
“我们预期水务公司将遵循其既定的干旱管理计划，并进一步加快减少泄漏的步伐。
“我们明确表示，水务行业未能为缴费者服务。
“正因为如此，我们正在推动长期变革，包括要求企业进行创纪录的基础设施投资，并改革规划体系，以便建造9个新水库。”
就在住房大臣安吉拉·雷纳昨天视察西米德兰兹地区一场野火摧毁的房屋废墟时，这一情况发生了。
上周，斯陶尔布里奇有19处房产在大火中被烧毁，另有13处受损。
雷纳女士表示：“社区表现出色，互相照顾。紧急服务部门、警方、消防队、救护服务、地方当局、当地议员卡特·埃克尔斯以及社区携手合作，真正互相支持。”
“适应”
“但是看到如此严重的损失以及失去一切的情感动荡，着实令人心碎，这就是这些家庭所经历的一切。”
在改革英国党的新闻发布会上，副领袖理查德·泰斯敦促人们不要再对全球变暖感到“悲观绝望”。
他说：“当然，气候变化是真实存在的，但有哪些证据表明净零排放能够阻止它？有哪些证据？根本没有。
“气候变化一直在发生，也将永远存在。或许更明智的做法是适应它，而不是自大地认为能够阻止它。我记得1976年——现在感觉有点像那时候。
“我认为天气稍微暖和一点时，我们就享受它。如果这意味着英国葡萄酒和起泡酒变得越来越好——太棒了。
“那意味着我们可以挑战法国——太棒了。
“让我们庆祝这些事情，而不是只是悲观绝望。”
洪水来袭忧虑再起
英国部分地区本周可能遭遇洪水，随着暴雨预计袭击干涸土地，又有一家供水公司宣布实施浇水管禁令。
Wessex Water于昨日实施该措施，这是自1976年夏季干旱以来该公司首次采取此类限制措施。
英国气象局表示，部分地区将迎来“久违的有意义降雨”。
英国气象局称，周四将出现大雨阵雨，部分地区可能错过降雨，但在降雨强度大的地区可能出现地表洪水。
撰稿：丽贝卡·斯皮尔-科尔
此次降雨变化发生在英国迎来第五轮夏季热浪之后，本周四伦敦邱园录得今年最热一天，气温达38℃。
预计降雨可能为干涸土地和扑救野火的消防员带来些许缓解。
但这一降雨不太可能结束大范围干旱状况，干旱已给农民、交通、紧急服务和资源带来严重压力。未来几天气温也将明显下降。到周五，部分地区夜间气温将降至个位数——布雷肯比肯斯山谷等地可能仅为3或4℃，而科茨沃尔德地区预计为5或6℃。
英国国家消防总长委员会表示，今年英格兰和威尔士已记录1,132起野火。
主席菲尔·加里根表示：“许多地区仍异常干燥，仅需一个火星就可能引发严重野火。”

双重杀人犯
西蒙·莱维涉嫌袭击狱警
撰稿：安迪·莱恩斯、蒂姆·汉隆
双重杀人犯西蒙·莱维昨日出庭，对袭击狱警的指控表示不认罪。
莱维通过视频连线从贝尔马什监狱出席庭审。
他对两项指控均表示不认罪，案件被移交皇家刑事法院审理。
他在伦敦威斯敏斯特治安法官庭审前确认了自己的姓名和地址。
伦敦治安副首席法官谭易恒听取了针对莱维的指控简要情况。
据称，莱维在会面期间用钢笔刺伤狱警并试图勒死他。
法庭获悉，莱维承认与狱警同处一室，但否认袭击行为。
袭击指控
案件已被推迟至下月在伦敦内圈皇家刑事法院审理。
莱维被指控犯有造成实际身体伤害的袭击罪及意图窒息罪，事件发生于2月18日在一所超高安全级别监狱内。莱维现年41岁。
上周莱维被判处罕见的终身监禁，因其谋杀两名女性并强奸第三名女性。莱维于2025年3月杀害了53岁的祖母卡门扎·巴伦西亚-特鲁希略，五个月后又杀害了39岁的四个孩子的母亲谢丽尔·威尔金斯。他还强奸并遗弃第三名幸存受害者。
莱维的辩护律师贾森·拉蒂表示，其当事人否认在监狱内实施袭击。
更多儿童
“沉迷于极端主义、激进化或伤害他人的欲望”
一份令人震惊的报告显示，越来越多的儿童“沉迷于极端主义、激进化或伤害他人的欲望”。
儿童专员Dame Rachel de Souza表示，她“夜不能寐”，因为年轻人正在逃脱旨在预防暴行的防护网。
她警告称，当儿童痴迷于暴力而没有明确的意识形态时，政府的去激进化项目“防范”（Prevent）无法发挥作用。
这包括那些经常谈论武器的儿童、在学校分享斩首视频的学生以及崇拜著名袭击者的孩子。
教育主管在报告中也发出警告，部分年轻人生活混乱。
他们认为这引发了对其父母是否有能力承担责任的质疑，而其他儿童则感到孤独和隔离，导致他们转向在线聊天室和社交媒体。
理解
Dame Rachel表示：“显然，我们有一群儿童正在沉迷于极端主义、激进化或伤害他人的欲望，他们需要‘防范’无法提供的干预措施。
‘转诊与不作为的恶性循环’。这群儿童可能经常谈论武器、崇拜‘著名’袭击者，或分享暴力视频（如斩首或自杀）。
他们可能与同伴分享极端色情内容，鼓励他人加入危险的在线社区或自残。
有一群儿童——那些被激进化但痴迷于暴力而没有明确意识形态的孩子——我们为保护所有人免受恐怖主义伤害而建立的体系对他们无效。这让我夜不能寐。”
Dame Rachel透露，“防范”去年收到了4,700起儿童转诊案例。
监管机构警告称，71%的案例缺乏明确的意识形态。
数百名年轻人已被多次转介至去激进化项目。其中5人被转介5次，而官员已在4个不同场合寻求帮助，涉及33名儿童。另有187人被评估3次。
在2024年4月至2025年3月期间，“防范”针对儿童的总转诊案例中，79%在未进入项目流程的情况下被关闭。
在此期间，近60%的“防范”转诊来自教育部门，警方占20%，地方当局占11%。
但专员办公室发现，至少65%的教育机构转诊在关闭后被转回教育部门，其中绝大多数（93%）未在“防范”项目中进一步推进。
安全专家担心儿童正在接触大量极端主义内容，包括恐怖主义宣传和社交媒体上的大规模暴力视频。
这反过来使他们对暴行麻木，并使暴力行为正常化。
Axel Rudakubana在两年前17岁时于舞蹈课上杀害3名女孩，并试图谋杀另外8人和2名成人。他曾被3次转介至“防范”，但因缺乏明确意识形态而被关闭案件。
该袭击调查主席此前表示，官员因缺乏明确标准而“受阻”——即应如何处理那些表现出痴迷暴力迹象但未附和特定意识形态的人。
Dame Rachel补充道：“仅将儿童转回提出转诊的服务机构，而不清楚驱动其行为的原因或谁将负责满足其需求，可能会错失为儿童提供急需支持的机会。
我们需要更强有力的保护响应，特别是针对那些痴迷暴力但未发现极端主义意识形态的儿童。”

首相被假白宫幕僚愚弄
作者：妮娜·劳埃德
据悉，英国首相安迪·伯南与一名冒充唐纳德·特朗普幕僚苏西·怀尔斯的人互发信息。
消息人士称，首相发送了几条无关紧要的信息后开始起疑，并将此事报告给了相关当局。
目前尚不清楚伯南先生何时收到这些信息，他于7月20日就任首相。
一位政府发言人表示：“我们不就国家安全事务发表评论。”
两名官员向《政客》透露，英国驻华盛顿大使馆已就此事与白宫进行沟通。该媒体率先报道了此次交流。
白宫一位官员告诉该媒体，此事“与幕僚长设备被黑无关”。
去年有报道称，在一名冒充者假扮她联系多名共和党人和商界领袖后，联邦调查局正在调查试图访问怀尔斯女士手机的行为。
计划阻止性犯罪者使用化名
作者：乔治·利思戈
政府可能会关闭一项允许性犯罪者改名以掩盖犯罪前科的法律漏洞。
此前有报道称，一名女子发现自己在与一名已定罪的恋童癖者约会。
50岁的杰森·布朗在每次定罪后都会重新塑造自己，可能使用了多达20个不同的化名。
受害者严厉谴责这一狡猾伎俩为“彻头彻尾的笑话”，并呼吁严厉打击。
昨日，英国首相府表示：“注册性犯罪者必须向警方报告任何改名行为。未能如此构成犯罪，任何犯此罪者应受到法律的全面制裁。如需加强相关规定，我们将会做出调整，这也是我们正在研究的内容。”
活动人士呼吁禁止性犯罪者通过契据盖印方式改名。
根据改革英国党（Reform UK）的计划，最多33万人将被迫为当地议会工作或失去福利，以削减500亿英镑的福利开支。
他们将被要求清理街道和公园、对议会房屋进行小修或在图书馆和社区中心工作。
失业者还可能被要求在“不涉及儿童或接受护理的脆弱人群”的岗位上协助学校或社会服务部门。
改革英国党财政发言人罗伯特·詹里克在昨日公布该党“福利转就业”计划时表示，拒绝参与该计划的申领者将被削减或停止福利。
该计划是一揽子措施的一部分，包括禁止非英国公民领取工作年龄福利（如通用信贷或求职者津贴），并大幅削减领取残疾福利的人数，包括个人独立支付金。
詹里克表示：“有超过33万人正在领取通用信贴且有工作能力，且据报道他们已寻找工作超过12个月。这种情况不能再持续下去了。如果纳税人必须为此
改革英国党公布削减福利开支计划
"因此，有能力领取救济金的人必须承担起责任。"
参与此计划的人将在原有福利基础上每周额外获得£30，用于支付交通和餐食费用。但智库经济事务研究所批评了该计划。
改革英国党领袖丹尼尔·汉南（前保守党成员，现为独立上议院议员）表示："要求330,000人参与社区服务可能会给地方议会带来新的官僚成本。福利改革应当节省开支，而不是让国家再多一个需要管理的项目。"
影子财政大臣梅尔·斯特莱德爵士表示："我在疫情后推出改革，通过减少长期领取福利的人数并彻底重塑个人独立生活津贴（PIP）来削减庞大的福利预算。
"工党称这些改革‘制造分裂’并废除了全部措施，导致福利开支继续失控上升。
失败
"罗伯特·詹瑞克赞扬我的改革让制度更公平，并使我们能够负责任地减税。
"改革英国党继续像他们在‘两孩福利上限’问题上那样反复无常，他们的虚构数字根本不合理。与此同时，工党完全无法解决这一问题。"
詹瑞克先生表示，到2031年，每个家庭为福利国家承担的平均税负将达到7,000 英镑。
改革英国党的计划还包括停止向外国人发放福利，其中包括目前因脱欧协议而有资格领取福利的欧盟侨民。该协议规定，在2020年12月31日英国脱欧前已在英国居住的人不会失去现有权利。改变这一政策意味着需与欧盟重启脱欧谈判。
限制PIP的提议涉及将雇主提供病假工资的期限从28周延长至两年。为弥补成本，改革英国党将削减雇主国民保险缴款。

犹太喜剧演员在场地禁令案中胜诉
撰稿人：尼克·福布斯
一家场地已承认其去年取消一名犹太喜剧演员演出时存在歧视行为。
单口喜剧演员菲利普·西蒙原计划在爱丁堡边缘艺术节上进行个人表演。
当时，该场地表示西蒙先生发表的观点"与巴勒斯坦地区与人道主义违规相关团体的修辞和象征相一致"。
西蒙回应称："我从未表达过除释放人质和寻找和平途径之外的任何支持。"
西蒙对该场地提起诉讼，指控其因"unlawful belief-based discrimination"对他进行歧视。
在昨天的爱丁堡治安官法庭上，西蒙的律师大卫·韦尔士（David Welsh）表示"在开庭前夕"，该场地已承认其行为违法。
法官退庭考虑诉讼费用。
"学习急救技能"以减少窒息死亡
撰稿人：埃拉·皮科弗
一家慈善机构警告称，太多人因旁观者缺乏知识或信心而无法施救，导致窒息死亡人数居高不下。
一项民意调查显示，仅42%的人知道如何进行背部拍击和腹部推压（此前被称为海姆利克操作法）。
圣约翰救护机构表示，英格兰每年约有300人因窒息incident死亡。
一位女士表示，她在德文郡一家酒吧因鱼刺窒息时，朋友露西·罗兹（55岁，托特尼斯人）通过背部拍击救了她。
她说："我真的以为自己会死。太可怕了。"
Censuswide对2,000名成年人进行的民意调查发现，19%的人从未听说过腹部推压。
圣约翰救护机构的"九月拯救生命"活动正提供在线指导和免费演示，教授相关技能。

维珍有望开通直达英吉利海峡隧道的竞争服务
布兰森的铁路公司可能终结欧铁32年的垄断地位
作者：西亚兰·麦格拉斯
英国铁路和道路管理局已授予维珍在高铁1号线上最多每日20次往返服务的轨道使用权。高铁1号线从伦敦圣潘克拉斯到英吉利海峡隧道。
维珍列车已获准开通至英吉利海峡隧道的服务，为其计划挑战欧铁垄断地位迈出关键一步。
一位顶尖铁路专家警告称，尽管运营商已获得监管批准，但仍面临重大障碍。
该协议自2030年10月起至2040年底止，仅限于HS1线路，意味着维珍仍需获准在隧道内及欧洲大陆铁路网络运营。
自隧道于HS2开通以来，欧铁一直垄断该客运线路，此次举措有望带来票价下降。
理查德·布兰森爵士此前曾表示，是时候“终结这一30年的垄断，为跨海峡线路注入维珍的魔力”。
维珍仍需获取法国、比利时和荷兰铁路网络的通行权。
此决定紧随去年维珍获准共享伦敦东区泰晤士米尔斯欧铁车辆段的批准，该车辆段是唯一可从HS1到达的设施。
但铁路评论家克里斯蒂安·沃尔玛表示，维珍在首班列车开通前仍面临实体和监管问题。
他提到伦敦和巴黎的终点站时表示：“他们将不得不重新设计整个地下空间。我是说，圣潘克拉斯站有大量闲置空间。北站更糟——有时你得排队半路才能到地铁站。”
沃尔玛先生还质疑维珍是否已购买其计划运营所需的20列列车。他说：“他们真的购买了那20列新列车吗？在尚未获得实际使用确定性的情况下就投机购买列车，这风险颇大。他们可能永远无法运营任何列车。”
他补充道：“考虑到所需的巨额资本投资，维珍要从中盈利将极为困难。”
另一位专家、Seat61网站的马克·史密斯对竞争前景更为乐观，并认为乘客可能从中受益：
他说：“维珍——以及另外两家潜在运营商意大利铁路和双子星——将为伦敦至欧洲大陆的旅程带来显著的额外运力，几乎肯定能降低平均票价，这对乘客而言是个好消息。”

动荡不安
据了解，海登（Hayden）在周末时与断断续续的男友布赖恩·希克森（Brian Hickerson）在一起，此前两人曾被拍到于周六一同从洛杉矶飞出。
这对情侣关系动荡不安，布赖恩曾因对该女演员实施家庭暴力而被判入狱45天。
据警方称，一名“与潘内蒂尔女士相识的人”拨打了911报警电话，但目前尚不清楚是否为布赖恩本人。
警方和法医正在调查她的死因，但已表示“初步调查未显示任何暴力或可疑情况”。
海登的父亲斯基普（Skip）发表声明称：“我们怀着深切的悲痛，宣布我们挚爱的海登永远离开了我们。她是一束耀眼的光，是自然的奇迹，为所有认识她的人——以及数百万在荧幕上看到她的人——带来无尽的爱与欢乐。”她的父亲请求外界尊重其家人“需要时间来面对这无法想象的损失”。
梅丽莎·巴雷拉（Melissa Barrera）在悼念中写道：“愿你安息，亲爱的海登。”并附上一个破碎的心表情符号。
女演员塞尔玛·布莱尔（Selma Blair）也表达了哀思：“我爱你。不要离开。不要离开。求你了。求你了。”
海登的母亲莱斯利·沃格尔（Lesley Vogel）也是一名演员，她在海登11个月大时就让她出演了首个商业广告。4岁时，她参演了美国电视剧《一生一世》（One Life To Live），8岁时又加入了另一部肥皂剧《指路明灯》（Guiding Light）。
她曾在自传《这就是我》（This Is Me，今年出版）中坦言童年在聚光灯下的挣扎：“我失去了拥有正常童年、朋友、人际关系和隐私的机会。”
海登在2000年的体育剧《记得泰坦》中与丹泽尔·华盛顿（Denzel Washington）合作，获得了更广泛的认可，并在1998年皮克斯动画片《虫虫危机》中为角色“多特”配音。
但真正让她声名鹊起的是2006年在超级英雄剧《英雄》中扮演啦啦队员克莱尔·本内特（Claire Bennet）。随后，她在热门剧集《纳什维尔》中担任新晋乡村歌手朱丽叶·巴恩斯（Juliette Barnes）一角长达六季。
后者的表演为她赢得了两项金球奖最佳女配角提名，而她在剧中的演唱也让她有11首作品登上美国《公告牌》乡村歌曲榜。
但巨大的压力开始对她造成影响，她此前透露在20多岁时曾与成瘾作斗争。
海登在2015年拍摄《纳什维尔》期间进入康复中心，而此前一年她刚生下女儿。
“第一个戒毒中心是我自己主动去的。我当时快要淹死了。”她在2023年接受《女性健康》杂志采访时这样说道。
这位女演员曾与克利奇科订婚，但在2019年分手，两人相恋九年。她还谈及放弃对孩子的监护权一事。
她在5月表示：“任何人认为我会轻易放弃孩子并坦然接受，这种想法令人心碎，而且完全不符合事实。”
“我正在与心理健康、焦虑和产后抑郁作斗争，还要在镜头前表演，感觉自己完全迷失了。”
她还承认，在年少时曾被团队成员向她提供“快乐丸”以应对红毯走秀。
成瘾
她说：“他们是为了让我在采访时显得精神抖擞。我当时根本不知道这是不合适的，也不知道这会为我的成瘾问题打开怎样的大门。”
她在接受《人物》杂志采访时补充道：“这段经历并不容易，有很多起伏。但即使是发生在我身上的最糟糕的事情，我也不后悔。我感到无比充实。”
她的弟弟詹森也是一名演员，于2023年因心脏病去世，年仅28岁。
在自传中，她将自己描述为一个“彻头彻尾的乐观主义者”，拒绝让悲剧定义自己。
她补充道：“生活是一个日复一日、年复一年演变的过程——无论你喜欢与否——你都在经历成长的循环，直到生命的最后一刻。”

多佛正成新“加莱丛林”，边境混乱加剧
令人发指且令人困惑的是，可恶的人口贩运贸易正将多佛变成新的“加莱丛林”，非法移民正在钻英国边境管理的空子。
《每日快报》独家披露，移民们正在多佛轮渡港附近的桥下和帐篷中露宿，随后被偷渡出英国，穿越英吉利海峡前往其他国家。
人口贩子正在利用英国出境边境管控的薄弱环节，将移民偷偷藏匿在卡车中，通过轮渡或火车运往欧洲大陆。
许多移民原本面临英国遣返，却需支付高达1,000 英镑的费用完成这段旅程。
随后，他们在欧洲各国（如西班牙）获得更多自由流动的机会，西班牙已为非法移民推出特赦政策，试图以此振兴经济。
选择从英国“反向迁移”的移民仅占通过小船横渡英吉利海峡进入英国的寻求庇护者的一小部分。
但若任由这种贸易失控，将严重损害当地社区。
“打击跨国有组织犯罪全球倡议”研究人员警告称，英格兰南海岸小镇的部分地区已让人联想起十年前臭名昭著的加莱丛林。这暴露了英国边境管理的又一明显漏洞，正被犯罪团伙所利用。
影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普（Chris Philp）指出，在工党执政下，英国边境陷入混乱，此言不虚。
这不仅是英国的问题——欧洲其他国家也必须整顿边境管理，否则问题只会愈演愈烈。
布兰森的隧道视野
欧洲之星对英法海底隧道的垄断地位可能即将终结。
这条隧道自1994年通车以来，一直由这家总部位于法国的铁路服务运营。
但理查德·布兰森（Richard Branson）可能很快每天从英国开出多达20列维珍列车前往欧洲大陆。
监管机构已批准维珍列车在伦敦圣潘克拉斯国际站与肯特郡福克斯通隧道入口之间运营。维珍现需获得总部位于巴黎的Getlink公司批准，以使用隧道本身。
最终，这将意味着伦敦与巴黎、布鲁塞尔和阿姆斯特丹之间的服务将在2030年前实现。
这对乘客而言是个好消息，因为这必然会带来更频繁的列车班次、更低的票价以及更优质、更可靠的服务。
再会，邦妮
成千上万的人分享泪水、欢呼与歌声，为标志性威尔士歌手邦妮·泰勒（Bonnie Tyler）的生命致以敬意。这场告别仪式对这位20世纪80年代的排行榜冠军歌手而言，实属恰如其分。
威尔士亲王将她描述为“骄傲的威尔士偶像”，这份赞誉恰如其分。
安息。
挽救酒馆只能治标，振兴英国高街还需更多
安迪·伯纳姆表示，他希望为英国的高街注入新的活力。他将其视为优先事项是正确的。看到全国各地的城镇中心日渐衰落，着实令人痛心。酒馆倒闭，成千上万的本地商店消失，许多高街沦为空置店面与对社区毫无助益的商业混杂的凄凉景象。
政府现已承诺采取行动。酒馆获得支持，而地方议会也将获得更大权力，以遏制电子烟店和投注站等业态的泛滥。
这一切都值得欢迎。但其中存在一个显而易见的疏漏：那些本地民众希望在高街上蓬勃发展的餐厅、咖啡馆、外卖店及其他独立餐饮企业呢？
从超市购买的大部分食品增值税为零税率。但在餐厅用餐则通常需缴纳20%的增值税。购买热食外卖（包括炸鱼薯条）时，通常也适用相同税率。
英国对餐饮业征收20%的增值税，是欧洲最高税率之一。在法国、西班牙和意大利，餐厅食品的税率约为10%，而德国今年初已将餐厅食品税率降至仅7%。
这引出一个简单的问题：外出就餐真的应该被视为奢侈品而征税吗？在当地餐厅用餐未必是奢侈消费，与朋友喝杯咖啡、周五晚上为家人买份炸鱼薯条也算不上。这些都是日常活动。而提供这些服务的企业往往规模较小、独立经营，雇佣本地员工并将资金回流社区。
在BusinessesForSale.com，我们对这部分经济有着特别的观察窗口，因为我们每天都在处理人们买卖企业的交易。
目前，我们平台上有超过1,200家酒馆和500家炸鱼薯条店待售，同时还有成千上万的餐厅、咖啡馆和其他餐饮企业。这并不意味着每位出售业主都陷入困境——人们出售企业的原因多种多样。
通过使用我们平台的业主、买家和经纪人，我们切实感受到经营这些企业的经济压力有多大。这不仅关乎餐饮业，更关乎整个经济的活力。
若想拥有充满活力的高街，我们需要有人愿意为之冒险。必须有人愿意投入积蓄、承租店面、雇佣员工并每天开门营业。我们应让这一选择更具吸引力，而非相反。
“独立咖啡馆和餐厅面临的压力如出一辙”
首相表示，在制定十年计划为社区重新注入希望的过程中，他正处于“倾听模式”。如果这一倾听行动是认真的，那么餐饮增值税理应成为讨论的一部分。
其他成本也需要考虑：商业税费、就业成本，以及我们是否为那些愿意为创业或收购独立企业投入自有资金的人提供了足够的激励措施。
那些制造头条的流行干预措施不应被误认为是真正的战略，后者旨在为我们的商业街注入新的活力。
帮助酒吧是受欢迎的。赋予地方议会对电子烟店和赌博店的更大监管权，也传递出我们希望商业街呈现何种面貌的明确信号。
但阻止不受欢迎的企业开业只是工作的一半。我们还需要让那些我们希望开业的企业在经济上可行，使其能够生存并成长。
繁荣的商业街当然需要酒吧。但它也需要让人们聚会的咖啡馆、将人们吸引至市中心晚间消费的餐厅，以及服务社区的外卖店。
然而，我们继续以令经营变得日益艰难的方式对它们征税和监管。英国大谈鼓励创业和振兴地方经济。但这一雄心必须延伸至那些在城镇和城市中承担真正经济风险、经营普通企业的人。
政府想要为英国商业街重新注入希望是正确的。但这不仅仅是拯救酒吧、阻止下一家电子烟店开业那么简单。
如果我们希望商业街繁荣，就需要停止让我们希望出现在那里的企业如此难以生存。

图利将该村视如傻瓜
政府目前正推进其计划，将1,250名男性寻求庇护者强行安置在小型农村村庄皮丁顿及其400名忧心忡忡的居民身上。
下图为内政部长安娜·图利。她表示将调查社区问题——却完全忽视了居民对数量和安全威胁的合理担忧，以及政府滥用紧急权力的问题。
首相安迪·伯纳姆为更广泛的倡议辩护，称富裕和中产阶级居住区必须承担接收难民的全国责任，而非将负担完全留给最贫困的社区，尽管这将令纳税人付出更高成本。
他的干预完全离谱。公众希望这些非法入境的寻求庇护者被拘留并立即遣返，而非舒适地分散安置在全国各地。
学徒制恰逢其时
托尼·布莱尔的大学热潮已彻底终结。
学费过高、毕业债务负担沉重，且学位曾带来的毕业生溢价早已不复存在。
事实上，财政研究所发现，四分之一的毕业生在上大学后经济状况反而更糟。
学位学徒制是未来方向。更好的选择或许是毕业后直接就业，从基层做起。
Labour正将我们引向“农场末日”
本届政府正在见证英国农业的崩溃：79年前，在第二次世界大战阴影下，英国政府通过了《1947年农业法案》，其简单使命就是——永远不让这个岛国再次挨饿。该法案将粮食安全奉为国家安全的支柱。该法案是对战争期间暴露出的极端脆弱性的直接回应，当时德国U型潜艇封锁几乎将英国逼入屈服的饥饿境地。
而今，这一誓言已被打破，英国正陷入数十年来最严重的粮食安全危机。按经济价值计算，自给率已降至60%，仅在过去两年就下降了5%。这意味着英国越来越依赖国际进口，一年之中仅能自给约226天。
但这对任何人来说都不意外。自上台以来，本届政府除了破坏农业外别无作为。
工党上台后的首个举措之一，就是推出了“家庭农场税”。这一举措顷刻间摧毁了该行业的长期信心；农民停止投资农场；拖拉机和机械销售跌至1940年代以来的最低水平。
再加上雷切尔·里夫斯大幅提高雇主国民保险缴款和国家生活工资，以及埃德·米利班德那些疯狂的净零排放和去碳化政策，结果就是过去两年间，平均农场收入损失了22%至32%，导致2025年alone就有6,390家农业企业倒闭——这是自2017年英国国家统计局开始编制季度统计数据以来的最高年度数字。
2026年看起来也将延续这一模式。
对于身处困境的农民而言，危机接踵而至。春季洪水和今夏干旱导致的歉收，在过去两年间已从耕地收入中夺走£1.35亿。但这还不是全部。
柴油价格已飙升40%，而由于霍尔木兹海峡持续发生的事件，化肥成本也大幅上涨。由于许多农民早已无积蓄，他们已无力应对。
安迪·伯纳姆宣布的6500万英镑旱灾紧急援助包听起来不错，但不过是一纸空文。
这并非针对农民的新增资金，而是被重新分配的支持，每个农场仅能分到£650。这根本无法触及那些跪地求援的农民，而我只能预见食品价格将继续上涨，尽管它们自2022年以来已上涨30.1%。
眼下唯一压低成本的因素，是超市间的价格战和食品缩水，但这终究无法持久。
任何国家若无法养活本国人民，就谈不上安全。我们必须再次将农民视为国家安全的前线捍卫者，在拖拉机引擎永远停转之前支持英国农业，否则我们将永远沦为外国的“人质”。
Golden girl Amy's good look charm
我就是喜欢艾米·亨特——不仅因为她成为欧洲锦标赛历史上首位在单届比赛中斩获四枚金牌的运动员，还因为她总是那么光彩照人。
她总是完美无瑕地冲过终点线：完美的发型与妆容、灿烂的微笑，还有修剪得无可挑剔的指甲。
她简直是公关和营销公司的梦中情人。
铁路国有化计划注定是一场灾难。
从第一天起，西南铁路的服务班次就比私有化时期减少了车厢数量——这听起来简直像是又回到了英国铁路公司的糟糕年代，整趟车都得站着。
阿凡提西海岸铁路将在明年春季恢复运营，但政府已要求其每周减少约30个班次。我上周试图乘坐下午3.点33分从尤斯顿开往威姆斯洛的列车，但该班次已被取消——早就被砍掉了。
政府一边大谈容量不足，一边却在削减车厢和班次，这实在太奇怪了。
实际上，容量不足正是推动HS2项目的原因之一——这头耗资1800亿英镑的白象工程，而首相仍用此为由在柴郡至曼彻斯特机场间复活HS2的缩减版。他们真是口是心非。
下个月我们又要迎来热浪了……但有些人却嫌热
我可不是唯一一个享受这炎热天气的人。上周我和父亲去了克鲁附近的一家水疗中心度假——
我们仿佛置身地中海，坐在露台上喝着红酒直到晚上10点。我听说气象局预测下个月我们可能会遭遇第六轮热浪。来吧，我盼着呢。我老公菲尔为我安排的大假是去北约克郡度一周，所以我祈祷太阳能再多一些！

——本地要闻——
如果父母对孩子最真诚的期望是什么，那就是孩子的生活能比自己更好。当然，“更好”并不总是意味着更多金钱——绝对不是。健康快乐——是的。但我认为“更好”还包括实现梦想和抱负。
有人说，我们这一代千禧一代将是首个生活不如父辈的群体。至少从经济角度看，我信。但真正可怕的是，下一代的前景看起来更糟——所有警示信号都已出现：英国有74.3万名16至24岁的年轻人失业，创11年新高。
福利危机正在加剧这一局面，为年轻人提供了一条“躺平”也能赚钱的途径。就连我作为保守党议员都对新任首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）表示敬意，他誓言要解决这一问题。因此，当我听说所谓“尼特族”（不上学、不工作、不接受培训）的新计划竟要从4岁儿童开始识别时，我着实震惊。
这一构想源自前工党卫生大臣艾伦·米尔本（Alan Milburn），他如今被委以重任解决英国青年失业危机。他说“早在很小很小的时候，警示信号就已出现”，并补充道“小学应识别出有风险的儿童”。风险因素包括贫困、心理健康问题或被寄养。
老实说，我从未读过比这更令人沮丧的想法。
被遗忘的事
当我抱怨某事时，父母总能讲出一个故事让你瞬间清醒。比如我妈妈在10个孩子中几乎被"遗忘"的那年圣诞节，我岳父直到8岁才知道鸡蛋是什么——他新买的自行车还被当了当铺的抵押品。他们都被爱着，但童年是在拮据中度过的。
若按今天的标准，他们早该在尚未认清自己是谁的年纪就被贴上标签，更不用说知道自己想要什么了。当然，挣扎中的孩子理应得到所需的一切帮助，但这与把他们列入未来失业名单完全是两码事。
我们真的要告诉孩子们，他们可能永远找不到工作吗？天啊，这简直是对英国未来的最大讽刺。我们应向所有背景的孩子展示他们能成就的伟大，而不是把他们框死，只告诉他们“不行”。
我有一个反复出现的噩梦。我确信梦境专家会说这代表我潜意识的某种焦虑，但我至少每月会做一次这样的梦。梦里排满了无法使用的厕所——不是没门，就是没手纸，要么就是脏得吓人。
于是当我读到剑桥新推出的“蹲式公厕”——每次收费£1时，我简直毛骨悚然。照片比想象的还糟。我满脑子问号，没有一个是正面的。
我不知道是谁想出的馊主意，但显然是为了讨好当地那些偏好这种厕所的外国游客。
我的评价是：如果现在连一个地洞都成了我们能提供给人们的选择，英国真的完蛋了。
我的高尔夫之旅继续前行。
好吧，也许算不上伟大……更像是暂时不会因为连球都打不中的窘境被人架出球场。
在克服了那次奇怪的肋骨伤（原因是驾驶范围练习时过于热情且极可能不当的动作）后，我终于打出了人生第一个标准杆！
对于不打高尔夫的人来说，这意味着用应有的击球数将球打进洞。
第10洞。米德尔斯堡高尔夫球场。哇哦！
就在那时，PGA巡回赛向我招手。然而，情况似乎又变糟了。
这大概就是魅力的一部分……显然。

喜剧演员Brendan O'Carroll
布伦丹
取消圣诞特别节目 以接受手术
作者：PIERRA WILLIX
Brendan O'Carroll宣布《布朗夫人一家》2026年圣诞和新年特别节目已被取消，因为他需要紧急手术。
该剧的创作者兼主演、70岁的Brendan O'Carroll写道：“我必须遗憾地宣布，由于突发医疗问题，我将取消2026年《布朗夫人一家》圣诞和新年特别节目的录制。
“CT扫描显示我的下颌骨（颌骨）有两处骨折，需要立即手术并休养数月。”
他还推迟了原定于今年晚些时候在都柏林和基拉尼举行的《布朗夫人一家》D'Panto？演出。
心碎
喜剧演员补充道：“这个决定并非轻易做出，是基于我从专科医生那里得到的医疗建议。
‘说我心碎都算轻描淡写。’‘我要向所有期待这场演出的粉丝们致以最诚挚的歉意，也为给大家带来的失望深表歉意。’
布伦丹正在努力将演出重新安排至2027年。这位在BBC热门喜剧中饰演族长阿格尼丝·布朗的明星表示，他也一直在与BBC高层商讨，争取明年让《布朗夫人的男孩们》回归荧屏。
BBC方面表示：‘我们祝愿布伦丹早日康复，并正与他共同规划2027年《布朗夫人的男孩们》的计划。’
编剧兼主演马克（与《书迷》中的共同主演）将在本月推出新剧集。
书迷
线索就在那里……经典侦探为《书迷》温馨犯罪剧提供灵感
《书迷》新剧集本月播出
对于《神探夏洛克》主演马克·加蒂斯而言，霍姆斯之处在于其核心所在——但想要寻承他温馨犯罪剧《书迷》的灵感来源，粉丝们则需将目光投向远超贝克街221号B之外的地方。
现年59岁的加蒂斯在剧中饰演一位文物书店老板兼业余侦探加布里埃尔·布克，他自称是‘一个比我博学得多的人’。
但除了福尔摩斯和阿加莎·克里斯蒂的经典角色波洛与马普尔小姐外，他还提及了一些更为冷门的犯罪小说，这表明他对阅读广度的低调处理。
他说道：‘有一部非常出色却被遗忘的作品，名为《盲侦探马克斯·卡拉多斯》，他是一位盲人侦探（由欧内斯特·布拉马于1914年首次出版的一系列侦探小说中的角色）。
‘在黄金谋杀之谜时代，每个人都试图创造一位侦探，每个人都必须拥有某种特质。
‘还有一部由桂冠诗人、丹尼尔·戴-刘易斯的父亲塞西尔·戴-刘易斯以尼古拉斯·布莱克的笔名创作的杰作。他写了一本名为《野兽必须死去》的小说，我认为这是最令人惊叹的作品之一。这也是我最喜欢的书之一。’
加蒂斯最初因BBC的超现实喜剧恐怖剧《绅士联盟》而成名，随后为《神秘博士》创作剧本并与他人共同创作了《神探夏洛克》。
调查
如今他将笔触转向温馨犯罪剧《书迷》，故事背景设在战后1940年代的伦敦，讲述加布里埃尔·布克如何利用其古董书店的庞大藏书协助破案。
布克的同性恋身份在当时的英国属于违法行为，迫使他隐藏性取向以继续调查。2008年与演员兼编剧伊恩·霍拉德结婚的加蒂斯表示，他一向如同角色一般，从书籍中寻找答案、灵感与慰藉。
他补充道：‘总会有解决问题的答案，或者能引出其他线索。
‘你阅读的理由各不相同。我现在正在读三本书。我正在读《米德尔马契》，这本书我一直想读，而且它出人意料地有趣。这本书内容密集，但其中却蕴含着一本非常现代的作品。
‘我正在出于兴趣阅读一本名为《改革获胜会怎样？》的书，最近刚刚读完一本名为《网络之城》的非凡之作，这是一部关于1940年代好莱坞的文化史。’
他说道，《书迷》第二季将更加雄心勃勃，故事范围将超出熟悉的阿克亨吉巷，包括一条设在德国的故事线。
他说道：‘这更像是我脑海中构想的剧集……我认为它现在真的成型了。’
《书迷》第二季将于8月26日在U&Alibi频道播出。
减重药丸即将颠覆购物习惯
英国批准新型减重药片
随着人们调整饮食和生活方式，减重药丸的激增需求有望改变消费者习惯。
超过三分之一的英国人会考虑服用新型药片而非注射剂，研究显示。
上周，由Mounjaro制造商礼来公司生产的药物在英国获批使用，这将引发购买行为的重大转变。
34%的英国人表示会考虑服用减重药片而非注射剂。在千禧一代中这一比例升至43%，在Z世代中为42%。
撰文：霍莉·威廉姆斯
根据RSM英国（一家审计、税务和咨询公司）委托进行的调查，收入较高的人更可能尝试新型药片，超过58%的年薪超过8 万英镑的人表示会考虑服用该药片。
RSM英国消费市场主管杰奎·贝克表示："对于面向消费者的企业而言，问题在于当人们改变‘消费什么、何时消费以及消费多少’时，他们的购物篮会发生什么变化。"

葬礼
歌迷云集街头
当邦妮·泰勒的棺木被抬入斯旺西教堂时，歌迷们鼓掌并高喊着深情的告别。
出席葬礼的追悼者从发现她的星探口中得知，这位歌手独一无二且受到全球数百万人的爱戴。
邦妮在20世纪80年代凭借《心灵之约》享誉国际，该曲曾登顶英国和美国排行榜。
邦妮的白色棺木在她的经典曲目混编中被抬入教堂，包括《如果我为你唱一首情歌》和《心痛》。
这位《英雄梦》的歌手原名盖纳·沙利文，1974年在斯旺西的一家俱乐部演出时被罗杰·贝尔发现。
罗杰在她上个月去世、享年75岁时谈及她的善良本性以及全球各地涌现的悼念潮。
罗杰说：“全球数百万人爱戴她。她身上散发着温暖与真诚，无论谁请求合影或签名，她从不拒绝。”
邦妮身后留下了与罗伯特·沙利文53年的丈夫。
贾斯汀·戴维斯牧师致悼词时表示：“1951年6月8日，一位可爱的女婴在埃尔茜·霍普金斯和格林德·霍普金斯家中首次呼吸。一颗明星诞生了，埃尔茜和格林德并未意识到，最好的时光还在后头。”
他回忆起她首次尝试表演的经历，当时她在斯克温橄榄球俱乐部的歌唱比赛中获得亚军。
戴维斯牧师说：“她获得第二名，仅赢得1英镑，但自此一发不可收拾。她演唱了玛丽·霍普金的《往昔岁月》，正如人们常说的那样，余下的就是历史。”
邦妮在葡萄牙去世，此前因紧急肠道手术被置于诱导性昏迷状态。

独家专访： 英国体育名宿—— 戴利·汤普森爵士（CBE）、 达梅·丹尼丝·刘易斯女爵士、 塞巴斯蒂安·科勋爵（KBE）等
创纪录的田径明星
兰西夸特，28岁。亨特开玩笑说："我认为我们已经赢得了所有奖牌。迪娜是史上最伟大的，萨克塞斯是个助产士，既接生婴儿又能跑步，而伊曼尼则写了一部剧本。我身边都是这些了不起的女性。"
记忆
兰西夸特补充道："这些女孩太了不起了。她们让我处于最佳状态，可以自由享受这一切。这将成为我一生的记忆。"
亨特·贝尔是《第五频道》政治编辑安迪·贝尔的女儿，曾担任人工智能分析师。2017年在德克萨斯州参加完比赛后，她因对这项运动失去兴趣而认为这是她的最后一场比赛。
但在2021年，她开始参加Parkrun，三年后，她在30岁时成为英国1500米冠军，并入选英国代表队征战巴黎奥运会。
在巴黎奥运会上摘得铜牌后，她在接受《镜报》采访时表示："疫情期间，Parkrun让我重新爱上了跑步。
"我在伦敦的布希公园Parkrun和在坦布里奇韦尔斯的圣诞节Parkrun参加了比赛。这是一种非常有趣的自我挑战方式。当我重返Parkrun时，总体排名第二，仅输给一个人。我重新联系了跑步教练[特雷弗·佩因特]，并开始参加比赛。"
她开始与霍奇金森一起训练，同样在佩因特的指导下，两人在赛道上成为好友，也是强劲对手。
亨特·贝尔，32岁，在3月份赢得了1500米世界室内锦标赛金牌，上个月在英联邦运动会800米比赛中夺冠，如今又成为欧洲1500米冠军。下个月她将参加首届世界终极锦标赛，力争今年赢得第四枚金牌。亨特·贝尔表示，相比其他运动员，她重返赛场较晚，因此拥有不同的视角。
她说："每次赢得奖牌，我都更加兴奋。过去一周队友们的表现让我备受鼓舞。我感到无比激动。"
在意大利训练的亨特感谢父母克莱尔和彼得，他们为她购买了锦标赛金耳环，这成了她的幸运符。
她说："我对父母给予我的爱心怀无限感激。我总说，人生只有一次，必须好好珍惜。
"如果生活变得过于狭隘，跑步总是摆在第一位，那可能会变得不健康。这就是为什么我会在帕多瓦的美丽住所周围散步，做一个24岁女孩该做的事。"
赛场下，同样24岁的霍奇金森在家乡曼彻斯特出席活动时，庆祝与耐克体育品牌推出的新系列合作。

消防队员营救野火中的田鼠
火灾现场的消防车
撰文：亚当·达顿
这只满身烟灰的田鼠在被从熊熊大火中救出后，落入安全的双手。
消防员目睹这只小啮齿动物在燃烧的灌木丛中窜进窜出，试图逃离火海。
当他们最终抓住这只小家伙时，先给它喂了水，然后将其放归附近发现的其他老鼠群中。
周四在北安普敦郡金斯萨顿发生的这场大火据信由阳光经碎玻璃反射引燃。
消防部门发言人表示："经过检查，可以确定这只老鼠在喝了我们的水后，感激地跑回伙伴们身边。
"请遵循我们的建议，在当前干燥天气条件下，切勿在户外点火。
"火势蔓延迅速，可能对财产和当地珍贵野生动植物造成毁灭性破坏。"

Ricky：我支持安乐死
格维斯呼吁选择自由
里奇·格维斯表示他支持安乐死合法化，并抨击那些在他看来正在吓唬民众并扼杀辩论的"荒谬阴谋论"。
现年65岁的格维斯表示，他在这个政策上支持"选择权"，并补充说人们应有权控制自己的命运。
他对《Saga》杂志表示，他对该法案被上议院阻挡感到失望，因为反对者的说法"吓坏了"选民。
格维斯（右）表示："这是你的生命，你应该能做自己想做的事。"
谈到自己的死亡时，这位喜剧演员补充道："但要让我走，还需要很多因素。
"我会想要最后一口气。只有当每一次呼吸都疼痛时，才会考虑。"
格维斯在去世前唯一想做的事就是与相伴40年的伴侣简·法伦结婚——但仅仅是为了避免遗产税。
他说："这将是我结婚的原因。我们还没有办。但如果不是因为[税收]……
闲逛
"还有什么比这更结婚的？我们共享所有财产，已经一起生活了40年。
"有些婚姻连一年都撑不过。
"太可怕了，不是吗？我得在死之前把这事办了......"
这位明星——其动画喜剧剧集《Alley Cats》在上线数小时内就登顶Netflix——表示尽管身体疼痛日益加剧，他无意退休。
他告诉该杂志："我父亲在建筑工地工作到70岁。那才是辛苦活。我只是站在那里说话。
"我仍然会抱怨，第二天早上醒来时感觉像被车碾过。
"我知道，我应该在花园小屋里闲逛，但我想我坐着无所事事不行。你工作是为了有理由每晚坐在沙发上看电视。"
他去年还对美国喜剧演员吉米·坎摩尔说："当我早上起床下楼时，感觉像是装了假腿。它们像僵硬的海盗腿。"
但这位英国人认为，凭借《Alley Cats》他可以继续工作，年龄不会成为问题，并表示他永远不会"用完"关于他那只猫角色古斯的创意。

鲁莽的男孩们被拍到从一处65英尺高的危险悬崖跳下，此前已有一人死亡，另有数人受伤严重。
骇人影像显示，这些年轻人从普利茅斯德文郡的"死人湾"悬崖以"尸体式跳水"（tombstoning）方式跳入水中。
这处65英尺高的悬崖正是2016年10月父亲三人组文森特·瓦格斯塔夫（39岁）因判断失误跳下身亡之地，而六年前一名少年本·汤普森也因鲁莽跳水而瘫痪。
目击者、普利茅斯的詹姆斯·普雷斯顿（40岁）说："我过去在这处地点见过尸体式跳水，但这次似乎格外危险，因为当时甚至还未涨潮，下方岩石清晰可见。当他们跳下时我们都瑟瑟发抖。
"这种事真的不该发生。只要稍有差池就会酿成极其严重的伤害。谢天谢地这次没有，但如果再这样下去，迟早会再次发生严重事故。"
海岸警卫队此前曾表示："想要从高处跳水，去正规的跳水场所，但在这里跳简直荒唐。"
与此同时，在肯特郡，福克斯通热门景点上港口臂（Upper Harbour Arm）本周末将关闭，以阻止人们在此尸体式跳水。

独家报道
作者：凯伦·罗基特
他没有银行账户，也没有国家保险号，正如他臭名昭著的绰号“送奶工”所暗示的那样，他总能如约而至。上世纪90年代，英国最大的可卡因贩毒者布赖恩·布伦丹·赖特（Brian Brendan Wright）过着完全由犯罪资金支撑的奢华生活，却没有任何纸质痕迹。
凭借一系列赛马和名人朋友，他经常出入伦敦的阿斯科特赛马会和Tramp夜总会，是一名隐藏在明处的顶级罪犯。
如今，首次披露的是那些用11年时间追捕并将其绳之以法的海关官员的故事。他们在BBC Radio 5 Live热门播客《Gangster》的新六集系列中讲述了这一经历。
格雷厄姆·哈尼（Graham Honey）是一位粗犷、直言不讳的苏格兰人，绰号“蜂蜜怪兽”，曾担任“扩展行动”（针对赖特可卡因走私团伙的调查）的指挥官。
他微笑着说：“这简直就是蜂蜜怪兽追捕送奶工。我在巴巴多斯的缉毒团队工作时，每个人都有绰号，我就是在那里得到了这个外号。”
现年72岁、早已从英国税务海关总署退休的格雷厄姆对《每日快报》表示：“我只是这台机器上的一颗小螺丝钉，用来抓捕布赖恩·布伦丹·赖特（他称其为BBW）。
“团队中有些人花了多年时间追捕他，抓到他至关重要。你能感受到肩上的责任重担。他在逃往北塞浦路斯后又转移到西班牙，我只想为团队中每一位为寻找他付出过艰辛努力的人完成任务。
“BBW位居顶层，是英国最大的可卡因犯罪分子之一，抓捕他对于阻止可卡因流入英国至关重要。”
在六集系列节目中，主持人兼调查记者利维·海德科克（Livvy Haydock）深入探讨了赖特的团伙如何将哥伦比亚实验室生产的工业级可卡因，通过委内瑞拉丛林的走私路线，经大西洋运输，最终在英国沿海城镇的码头落地。
而与此同时，他却在赛马圈内构建了一个看似体面的生活，以掩饰其香槟般奢华的生活方式。
利维在系列节目中采访的其他嘉宾还包括格雷厄姆的同事兼好友巴里·克拉克（Barry Clarke），后者也是“扩展行动”的前海关官员，承担了大量实地调查工作。
他花了十年时间追踪公用电话、破解密码并收集毒品网络的情报——该网络极少直接沟通。
谈及赖特时，巴里表示：“他是我见过的最聪明的人之一。
“他有街头智慧。他是一个非常聪明、敏锐的个体，深谙世事。他行事极其谨慎。在英国犯罪圈中，他享有很强的声誉。”
I
这档播客将听众带回到赖特的卑微出身——他于1946年出生于都柏林的一个工人阶级家庭。
全家搬到伦敦西北部的基尔伯恩（Kilburn）寻找工作，年轻的布赖安很快意识到，向市场商贩送货和将赌注从酒吧运送到赌注登记处是
“我不知道他是否通过了任何考试，但他是我见过的最聪明的人”
英国可卡因之谜的11年追捕
达恩最早的利润来源之一与非法现金
比上学更有趣也更有利可图。赖特最终因经常逃学被送进感化院两年，一生从未缴纳过一分钱税。当法律最终追上他时，据说他在档案中"不存在"。他甚至被认为是文盲。
"我不知道他是否通过了考试，但他是我见过的最聪明的人。"巴里说。
上世纪60年代，当年轻的布赖恩在基尔伯恩学习这一行时，这里是一个粗犷的、非常爱尔兰化的地区——与他在切尔西港的豪华公寓相去甚远，那里是他通过毒品帝国积累的财富终结之地。
利维说："多年来，赖特一直是那个没人能真正抓到的人。黑帮总是对名人有吸引力，反之亦然，他也成了那个圈子的一部分。"
"扩展行动"始于1996年9月，一艘名为"海雾"的渔船在科克郡科布港被爱尔兰海关登船检查，发现船内暗格中藏有1,323磅可卡因——这是爱尔兰历史上最大的毒品缴获案之一。
这些毒品原本是要交给赖特的，他很快因涉嫌赛马操纵被伦敦警察厅和赛马委员会调查。
随着警方深入调查，将更多船只和黑帮成员与这起非法活动联系起来，他们发现了一个横跨大西洋的海上贩毒网络，起源于南美和加勒比地区，终结于德文和康沃尔。
诱饵船被用来吸引海关官员的注意力，并蒙骗他们，以尽可能多地将毒品运过大洲。利维说："一切都始于科布港的那个夜晚，然后逐渐扩散到赛马、赌博、兴奋剂使用和哥伦比亚丛林——这个故事似乎无所不包。
"我真的想要揭开的不仅是‘送奶工’的个人背景，还有那个时代的背景，以及上世纪90年代英国可卡因有多么普遍和主流，以及赛马骑师如何使用可卡因来控制体重。"
该系列还探讨了可卡因贸易对人类的影响。
克莱尔·坎贝尔谈到她弟弟、记者比尔·弗罗斯特的死，他的一生被毒瘾吞噬——这严峻提醒人们毒品正在摧毁生命。

"我恨不得枪毙我弟弟，但当我在法庭上看到他时，我确实对那个将吸毒致死视若无睹并以他人软弱和痛苦为生的人感到愤怒。"她说。
随着调查逐渐逼近赖特，涉及赛马操纵和兴奋剂使用的指控使他的切尔西港公寓遭到警方突击搜查。
有传言称赖特不仅仅是在观看比赛，而是在操纵比赛。
前骑师兼训练师德莫特·布朗后来声称，他曾为BBW服用的20匹赛马注射兴奋剂。一群骑师为他工作，并向他提供内幕信息用于赌博。
与此同时，警方也在收紧对赖特另一项业务——可卡因的调查。
对埃塞克斯一处密室的秘密突击搜查发现了价值£6100 万的可卡因藏在手提箱中，从哥伦比亚供应商到赖特的亲生儿子小布赖恩，逮捕行动涉及整个链条。
赖特消失了，逃亡国外成为英国最重要的通缉犯之一。最终，在巴里和其他人的不懈电话追踪下，他被锁定在太阳海岸，并被引渡回英国接受审判。
格雷厄姆·霍尼在审判前评价此案时说："这变得无所不包。其他什么都不重要，一周七天。
"你想要成功。你不想搞砸。
"BBW向我的一位同事在法庭上开出了一赔百万的赌注，认为他不会被定罪。"
我的朋友，现在仍在海关工作所以我不能透露他的姓名，他对我说：“我给了他一英镑，现在我会拿回一百万。”不用说，他并没有兑现承诺。
“送奶工”于2007年4月3日在伍利奇刑事法院被判犯有国际可卡因走私帝国罪，被判入狱30年。
自1980年代起就与赖特成为朋友的喜剧演员吉姆·戴维森，还成为了他儿子的教父，并在审判中为他作证，形容赖特“善良而慷慨”。
戴维森甚至还持有一匹赛马的股份，这匹马与臭名昭著的国际毒贩兼赛马作弊者有关。然而，并无证据表明戴维森知晓赖特的犯罪活动。
“送奶工”的其他朋友还包括查理·威尔逊——大火车抢劫案的主要成员之一，该团伙的财务总管——以及伦敦黑帮成员罗伊·阿德金斯，后者也是主要从事大麻走私的毒贩。
“送奶工”会在阿斯科特和纽马克特的私人包厢招待他们，直到两人于1990年被枪杀身亡。
但尽管他的朋友们可能仍然忠诚，曾为他运输可卡因的那些人却一个个地背叛了他。总共有20名罪犯被抓获，包括他的儿子布赖恩·小赖特、女婿保罗·香农和前赛马骑师巴里·赖特。
从哥伦比亚贩毒集团到英国的街头，这条“送奶路线”就此终结。
赖特于2020年4月刑满出狱，服刑期为刑期的一半，并被邀请参与播客节目。赖特的发言人表示：“赖特先生感谢大家对他的故事感兴趣，但他选择不参与播客。他祝愿制作方一切顺利。”
利维总结道：“能与‘送奶工’对话会非常有意思，但他不想。我最后一次听说时，他还在伦敦。”
格雷厄姆补充道：“也许如果我们有更多时间，我们可以追查那些钱，而不仅仅是毒品。”
BBC Radio 5 Live的播客《黑帮：送奶工的故事》现已在BBC Sounds上播出。
由“送奶工”引入英国。比尔是达利奇学院的奖学金生和牛津大学毕业生，后加入BBC并成为一名备受尊敬的战地记者。
但自从与“送奶工”的得力助手凯文·汉利成为朋友后，他无意中卷入了暴力与毒瘾的世界。
克莱尔说：“我弟弟的遭遇太可怕了。
“我无法用言语形容。他曾经如此英俊和才华横溢，是一个真正令人钦佩的优秀
记者。”在节目中，克莱尔描述了在弟弟毒瘾最严重时在街上偶遇他的情景。
“我都认不出他了，”她说，“他看起来像一个6英尺高的骷髅，眼睛凸出。他就像一个恶魔。”
在弟弟去世25年后，克莱尔仍然想念他，并为他未能成为她4岁儿子乔的舅舅而感到遗憾。

凶手40多年后仍过于危险无法释放
英国服刑时间最长的囚犯之一菲利普·詹宁斯（Philip Jennings）在杀害两名母亲45年后仍过于危险，无法获释。
现年71岁的詹宁斯在承认参与了一伙歹徒杀害安·卡里尔（Ann Carryer）和伊丽莎白·布拉德（Elizabeth Blood）后，已在监 prison服刑近50年。两名受害者均为39岁，于1979年11月5日在一栋被称为"木板谷仓小屋"（Boarded Barn Cottage）的庄园内被害。
詹宁斯承认在枪杀安之前对其实施了强奸。他26岁时被判入狱，现已服刑超过法定刑期16年。
假释委员会文件显示，专家们"一致认为[詹宁斯]的风险无法在社区或开放环境中得到控制"。有消息透露，他正在服用稳定精神状态的药物，且有担忧表明他在安全性较低的环境中风险会增加。
拒绝撤销其释放决定的申请时，资深大律师帕特里克·托马斯（Patrick Thomas KC）表示："即使在严格监控的环境下，他早前的精神健康恶化曾被忽视，其行为也有所恶化，导致2025年出现多起暴力事件。"
两个孩子的母亲安和伊丽莎白育有三个孩子，她们前往柴郡孔格尔顿附近学者格林（Scholar Green）的一处孤立都铎式庄园，清理安母亲去世后的房产。
詹宁斯与斯蒂芬·安德森（Stephen Anderson）和保罗·赫贝尔（Paul Hebel）被告知有人买下了这处房产。他们计划绑架一名家庭成员并勒索5 万英镑。
在发现房子里的两名女子后，歹徒将她们带到不同卧室，捆绑在床上并枪杀。三名男子最终被抓获并承认谋杀罪。1980年7月，他们在切斯特皇家法院被判处30年有期徒刑。
来自西约克郡埃尔兰德的詹宁斯在被捕时告诉警方："有些人谋杀成千上万的人。我们不过是杀了两个女人。"
在被判刑几小时后，安德森在里斯利拘留中心自杀身亡。
赫贝尔在服满30年最低刑期后获释。

埃及人被迫采用节省空间的安葬方式
研究显示，当古埃及墓穴空间开始不足时，木乃伊会被相互叠埋。
研究还证实，社会地位高的人会与宠物一同下葬。
对底比斯墓地群（包含400多座墓穴）的深入分析显示，安葬习俗在数百年间如何演变。
安葬仪式
西班牙研究人员对底比斯墓地群中一座位于卢克索对面的墓穴进行了更细致的检查，以重建该墓穴在其建造于第25王朝（公元前754-656年）至托勒密时期（公元前305-30年）被废弃期间，如何被反复使用并重新利用空间。
该研究的主要作者、加那利群岛拉拉古纳大学的贾里德·卡瓦略-佩雷斯博士表示：“我们发现了16具木乃伊化的人类遗体、一具狗的遗骸以及一个被扰动的遗骸堆积物，其中至少包含4具个体的遗骸。
“尸体的详细研究表明，这既不是混乱的堆积，也不是随时间推移原有安葬仪式的丧失。
“相反，这里存在一种空间逻辑：每一次新的安葬都会根据先前遗体的存在进行调整——一种在重复使用过程中形成的丧葬记忆。”
同样来自拉古纳大学的资深作者米格尔·安赫尔·莫利内罗·波洛教授在谈及宠物狗的存在时表示：“这可能反映了安葬仪式实践的进一步变化。动物承担起‘心灵向导’的角色——在通往来世的旅程中作为象征性的助手。”

混乱召回令车主陷困境
一名儿童慈善机构工作人员至今仍无车可用，且已额外亏损超过1,000 英镑
一名车主在收到车辆召回通知后，完全没料到接下来数月将面临的挣扎与经济损失。
数百万客户及34个品牌受塔塔科空气囊爆炸风险停驶令影响，儿童慈善机构工作人员马克·克拉克至今仍在计算损失。
“一切都乱成一团。我的工作离不开车，现在不得不支付出租车费用，还欠了一屁股债。”这位雪铁龙车主（其母公司为Stellantis汽车制造商）今年初首次联系《十字军战士》寻求帮助时如是说。
他表示，自己已遇到的障碍包括：被告知要去位于德文郡的经销商维修，而他住在英格兰中部地区；此外还被警告，他购买的二手车（合法MOT检验合格）此前曾发生过碰撞，可能不符合任何修理条件。
在《十字军战士》的支持下，马克拒绝妥协，最终车辆被送往伯明翰的一家经销商维修。“但我询问是否能提供代步车，至今没有回音。”他补充道。
今年3月，2,124 英镑的退款（截至2月份）到账，但马克仍无车可用，额外支出持续。今年春季，他的车被送还。Stellantis在回复《十字军战士》询问时表示，召回决定“彰显对客户安全的坚定承诺。我们同意支持所有因停驶召回令而遭受影响的客户。我们识别出有特殊紧急需求及脆弱客户，并与他们合作提供符合其个人需求的支持。”
尽管他认可安全措施的必要性，且这场战斗已结束，“我仍然额外亏损1,000 英镑，需要更好的协调与备用方案来帮助客户。”马克说。
•姓名已更改
大多数汽车产品召回都能迅速处理，并为车主提供代步车等常规帮助，以及便利授权维修点和上门维修服务。然而，若这些服务无法兑现且沟通不畅，召回令只能沦为空头承诺，受影响车主则陷入混乱困境。
《十字军战士》发现负责维修马克汽车的经销商隶属于汽车业调解组织（TMO，网址：themotorombudsman.org），这是一个值得信赖的机构，提供争议解决服务并确保其成员的可靠性。然而，针对制造商召回的投诉不在其管辖范围内，且目前尚无正式指导方针规范零部件供应时间表。代步车虽为理想选择，但并非法律要求。TMO敦促制造商进行有效且透明的沟通。
如您希望寻求帮助或表扬优质服务，我们将竭尽所能协助。我们无法保证必能回复，但请联系《十字军战士》，《每日快报》，One Canada Square，Canary Wharf，伦敦E14 8AP。邮箱：crusader@express.co.uk。请仅发送文件复印件，勿寄原件。务必附上您的电话号码，谢谢。

老鼠身上的肿块在长大
我的母老鼠已经18个月大了，最近我注意到它胸部下方有一个肿块，看起来并没有影响到它。老鼠身上的肿块会停止生长，甚至消失吗？您有什么建议吗？
答：简单来说，继续生长的肿块不太可能自行消失。这种部位的肿块最可能是乳腺肿瘤。老鼠最常见的是纤维腺瘤，属于良性肿瘤，不会扩散。
然而，如果不加处理，纤维腺瘤可能会变得非常大。由于老鼠的乳腺组织分布较广，沿着身体下方延伸，肿瘤如果任其生长，可能会影响前后腿的活动能力。
尽管大多数肿瘤是良性的，但一项针对就诊宠物老鼠的大型研究显示，恶性肿瘤的发生率比之前认为的更高。
在一项对100只宠物老鼠的研究中，乳腺纤维腺瘤是最常见的肿瘤，占53%，但其中12%为恶性。加上其他罕见肿瘤后，恶性肿瘤总比例达到了25%。
综合所有我阅读过的文章，75%-90%的肿瘤是良性的，如果及早治疗预后良好；10%-25%为恶性，预后较差。
老鼠的平均寿命在2-2.5岁之间，许多能活到3岁或更久。因此建议带它去看兽医确定肿瘤类型。
成功切除良性纤维腺瘤后，你的老鼠可能会拥有正常的寿命。
我的16岁雌性绝育三花猫背部和腹部有几处很大的毛结。能用特殊梳子把这些毛结梳开吗？我不太想带它去看兽医，因为它在那种地方容易调皮捣蛋。
答：三花猫有时会很难对付，尤其是在兽医那里，但这种问题没有简单的自行解决方法。老猫尤其是长毛猫很容易出现毛结（缠结），这是很常见的情况。
毛结通常无法用梳子梳开——我总是提醒猫主人这一点——必须使用剪毛器，通常还需要在镇静状态下进行。
这样做的结果是，猫咪暂时看起来不那么漂亮。在严重情况下，要恢复猫咪正常的美丽毛发可能需要几个月的时间，这期间每周需要多次梳理。
猫咪通常会通过日常梳理来保持我们所羡慕的光滑亮泽的毛发，因此在大多数缠结情况下，一定是有什么原因导致它无法正常梳理。
这也是为什么尝试自己清除毛结永远无法解决问题的另一个原因，除了可能伤到皮肤。根本原因需要由兽医来调查和治疗。
任何疼痛的口腔或牙齿问题（老猫很常见）都会抑制梳理行为。肥胖可能让它难以够到身体的某些部位，而脊柱关节炎尤其会阻碍梳理。某些油性皮肤状况也会导致缠结。
必须让兽医介入，但镇静可以让你、你的猫和兽医都更轻松。

"哇，仅需每株49便士......这种能连续开花8个月的植物简直太划算了！"
乔治·洛卡泰利正在悄然走红
如果我是乔·帕斯夸莱，我会感到不满。在本期节目的开头，也就是《名人大厨师》第21季的开播之际，他被描述为“最受欢迎的喜剧演员”。我们还被告知他“在舞台和荧幕上度过了终生娱乐观众的时光”。但有一点——说到这里——他们从未称他为偶像。这简直是无礼至极，不是吗？
不过话说回来，今晚其他四位选手也没有获得这种殊荣。
我们被提醒，埃米莉·坎贝尔“为英国队赢得了首枚女子举重奖牌”。但埃米莉在这里被称作偶像了吗？没有。
贾森·穆罕默德“在世界各地主持大型体育赛事”。这足以让他跻身偶像行列吗？看起来并没有。
莎姬拉·汗“通过《爱岛》走红，成为与全球品牌合作的社交媒体影响者”。但抱歉，莎姬拉也没有获得偶像徽章。
那么杰伊·麦奎尼斯呢？“音乐家、演员、著名作家”。2015年，杰伊赢得了《舞动奇迹》。仅凭这一成就难道不足以让他成为偶像吗？显然不是。
但你瞧，我能理解这是怎么回事。这是预算问题。最近偶像的成本飙升，所以在新的财务规定下，每个BBC节目现在只能限量使用三次。
在《名人大厨师》中，你可能会认为他们会把这笔预算花在签约三位值得“偶像”称号的明星身上。问题是，这根本就不是一个选项。
正如今晚我们被提醒的那样，节目已经有了“标志性的《名人大厨师》冠军奖杯”和“标志性的厨房”。所以这两枚“偶像代币”还没见到格雷斯·丹特的新搭档乔治·洛卡泰利，就已经用掉了。
当我们见到他时，他被介绍为“世界级获奖大厨，超过30年来现代意大利菜的权威代言人”。
不仅如此（说到这里）——“全球偶像”。哦，是的，还是全球级别的。可不是什么无聊的地方性偶像。你不会在当地电视上看到洛卡泰利。不过，我敢肯定这笔钱花得值。至少，他和格雷斯组成了一对让人望而生畏的组合。
杰伊觉得他们特别吓人。“我在想他更害怕你还是我，”乔治低声说。
“噢，应该是我吧……是吧？”她回答道。没错，格雷斯，就是你。

努特伍德故事集
《鲁珀特与阿莫里海》第二十一篇
他让鲁珀特再买些东西，并派他去村里的商店。
"我想知道真相是什么？"杰姆说。"哎呀，我们茶叶没了！"
"我们边喝茶边聊这个吧，"杰姆说着便领路回到他的小屋。他们到那儿时，山姆正要开口说他确信什么。当杰姆发现茶叶罐空了时，金克斯已经从海里拿走了什么值钱的东西。"我去再买些，"鲁珀特主动说。杰姆给了他钱并跟到外面指路。"商店就在这条巷子里，"他说。"一直走就找得到，那也是我们的邮局。"

JP摩根首席对希利银行税的警告
JP摩根首席执行官已向英国财政大臣约翰·希利发出银行税警告，后者正准备在10月发布其首份预算案。
自2006年以来一直领导华尔街最大银行的杰米·戴蒙于周四与希利进行通话，据了解，该银行高管强调"制定正确的公共政策"对解决经济问题至关重要。
据与会者透露，此次对话系应财政大臣团队要求，且在多位其他行业同行将于未来一周内与希利会面之前进行。
随着金融服务业在即将于10月28日发布的预算案前转入防御模式，活动人士和左翼政治家正游说对该行业征收更高税收。
有活动组织已建议仅从国民威斯敏斯特银行、劳埃德银行、巴克莱银行和汇丰银行的金库中就可征收每10亿英镑的暴利税。
在对话中，据《金融时报》报道，戴蒙告诉希利，更高的税收可能将就业机会推向他处，并指出纽约金融岗位减少，他将此归咎于税收负担。这位年薪4300万美元的华尔街高管在去年预算案前曾是反对加税的重要发声者。
一位知情人士表示，上周的交流中税收问题"总体上"被提及，但"并非针对英国"，也与该行计划在伦敦金丝雀码头建设新总部的计划无关。
戴蒙今年5月曾表示，若政府对银行"采取敌对态度"，该公司将撤回30亿英镑投资。
一些经济学家已警告，安迪·伯纳姆政府在下一份预算案中可能需要筹集多达250亿英镑，以满足在国防和社会护理方面的巨额支出承诺。
伯纳姆和希利尚未就上调3%的银行附加费（在公司税之上）或单独征收暴利税表明立场。
英国财政部发言人表示："财政大臣定期会见各行各业的高级代表，包括金融服务业。"
JP摩根拒绝置评。
巨头对阿尔迪老板抨击的强硬回应
与大多数竞争对手不同，阿尔迪不提供积分卡计划
在阿尔迪首席执行官吉尔斯·赫尔利周末抨击积分卡折扣后，乐购和森宝利坚持立场。
赫尔利在周末发表讲话，支持政府打击"误导性"促销计划的计划。
他声称这家预算超市的竞争对手"给人一种他们正在获得优惠的印象，但实际上结账时的价格可能仍高于其他地方"。
但据知情人士透露，一位接近乐购的人士坚称，其会员卡价格遵循严格规则，确保与竞争对手相比确实代表真正的节省。
据悉，森宝利对其Nectar卡交易能提供真正价值也同样有信心。
民主沦为“伯爵”闹剧
克拉克顿补选简直是一场全国性的耻辱，那个荒唐的“伯爵”宾法斯（Count Binface）让整个事件变得极其尴尬，全欧洲都在观看这场闹剧。
更可气的是，BBC还不嫌事大，花了大把时间采访他，把他捧成了一个低俗卡通角色。
难怪奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）避而不见。哪个严肃政治家愿意站在一个头上顶着垃圾桶的白痴旁边拍照？
帕特丽夏·伊斯特 萨里郡，吉尔福德
英国中部地区早该为非法移民承担责任了
萨姆·利斯特（Sam Lister）说得完全正确：首相强迫全国各地——甚至包括风景如画的乡村村庄——接收非法移民的做法，有望将这场“并非小船”的移民危机推向高潮（《移民危机终于在英国中部地区敲响警钟》，8月15日）。
长期以来，工业城镇一直是无证移民的“倾倒场”。现在，那些有权有势的人也该分担责任了。
这才是更公平的做法，但我不指望政府能兑现。就看你们的了，政府。
朱莉·福斯特 兰开夏郡，伯恩利
数十亿英镑投入NHS，但治愈仍遥不可及
英国不再处于医疗前沿
现在我们听说，潜在的痴呆症和癌症治疗改善措施正在被NHS阻挠（《开创性治疗触手可及，但诊断延误拖累进展》，8月17日）。
在1948年之前，英国在医疗进步方面处于领先地位，如防腐剂、麻醉、X光、疫苗接种和抗生素的应用，消灭了许多疾病。
从那以后，尽管在研究上投入了数万亿英镑，我们似乎仍然无法攻克癌症和糖尿病。
我们的NHS每年耗资数十亿英镑，却更关注管理候诊名单而非寻求治愈——在新冠疫情期间，我们被告知要“保住NHS”而非拯救生命。
罗伊·丹尼尔斯 汉普郡，金斯克利尔
他们不是真正的难民，而是经济移民
首相告诉英国民众，全国各地都必须“各尽其责”接收非法英吉利海峡移民，这简直厚颜无耻。他这是在让人们误以为这些人都是来自战乱国家的难民。
他当我们傻吗？他们根本不是难民。合法难民早就被排到队伍末尾了。他们来这里的唯一原因，就是为了钻我们的福利制度漏洞——这套制度在其他地方根本用不上。

以命抵命，既能伸张正义，又能腾出监狱空间
我百分之百赞同利奥·麦金斯特里（Leo McKinstry）关于恢复死刑的观点（《死刑将重塑司法天平》，8月14日）。如果有人夺走一条生命，且罪证确凿，就该付出同样的代价。
恢复死刑还能缓解监狱人满为患的问题。看到凶手被关押，过早获释后继续享受生活，受害者家属的心灵何其痛苦。
布伦达·克拉克 大伦敦，克罗伊登
数字不支持长期关押杀人犯
我百分之百赞同利奥·麦金斯特里的观点：当罪证确凿时，应适用死刑。终身监禁一个杀人犯每年要花费数千英镑，还霸占着一个本可以关押其他罪犯服刑的牢房。
约翰·詹姆斯 白金汉郡，王子里斯伯勒
烧烤怎么了？野餐和三明治不好吗？
我很高兴某些地区已禁止携带便携式烧烤。在多塞特和汉普郡，一次性烧烤引发的野火已摧毁了多处野生动物栖息地（《为降低野火风险，一次性烧烤禁令在考虑中》，8月13日）。我真不明白，为什么有人非要在郊游时点火。多年以前，我们吃个三明治不也挺好？
科林·汉弗莱斯 汉普郡，林伍德
法国野火主要由纵火所致，而非气候变化
野火造成的破坏令人震惊。然而，我记得1976年那场干燥的夏季并未发生任何火灾，当时人们仅称其为“天气”，而专家们却预言新冰河时代即将来临。
有趣的是，法国今年已逮捕474名与火灾相关的嫌犯，其中大部分涉嫌纵火。对2010年至2024年火灾的分析显示，闪电是唯一的自然起因；其余均为人为所致。
尽管如此，政治家们仍声称我们必须将重点 solely 放在绿色能源转型上。

驱逐外资业主，将皇家邮政国有化
如果这个工党政府真想为公众做点事，就应该将皇家邮政重新收归国有。
目前，该服务糟糕透顶，邮资高昂，配送效率低下。你不能责怪我们的邮递员，问题出在制度本身。外资业主们肯定从我们身上赚取了数百万英镑。

让位给哈里，西蒙·韦斯顿才是我们不屈运动会的代言人
我读到哈里王子正鼓励其父王明年在伯明翰举办的“不屈运动会”上与他会面（《哈里的“不屈运动会”团聚计划》，8月3日）。
然而，上届运动会几乎被梅根接管，她无处不在，甚至领头参加了退伍军人游行。我建议哈里退位，让西蒙·韦斯顿接手推广这一赛事。
他是一位值得尊敬的退伍军人，曾为国效力并在福克兰战争中严重受伤。

OMBUDSMILEON
By Jon Lees
ALMAQAM将于明天在约克与强手Ombudsman和Commission River同场竞技，此前埃德·沃克的祈雨得到了回应。
这位兰博恩训练师的爱驹在良好或较慢的地面上表现最佳，在热浪过后其参加“朱德蒙特国际赛”的前景一度存疑。
但截至昨天上午，约克已降下6毫米降雨，令地面状况转为良好，而另一场降雨预计于昨晚抵达。据赛道官员称，未来一周将呈现晴间多云并伴有阵雨的天气。
“我想地面会适合我们，如果他不参赛我会非常惊讶，”沃克（右）表示，他已将Almaqam列为该大赛九匹参赛马之一。
“但我不确定这会否给其他马匹带来足够的不便，因为我真希望雨再下大些。”
Almaqam在去年春季崭露头角，于桑当举行的“准将杰拉德锦标赛”中击败Ombudsman。他在去年年末的“冠军锦标赛”中负于Ombudsman，而在今年首次出赛时，他在“科雷吉多金杯”中斩获首个一级赛胜利。
埃德爱驹即将挑战双雄

上一次在皇家阿斯科特赛马日，Almaqam在良好至坚实的地面条件下负于Ombudsman，位列“威尔士亲王锦标赛”第四。
“Almaqam在阿斯科特坚实地面上被Ombusman击败，”沃克说。
“约克是个不同的赛场。Almaqam去年在那里表现不佳，但基兰当时不熟悉这匹马，现在对它了如指掌。
“在公布赔率为20-1后，我对Almaqam的表现略感不满，但我想它不清楚自己的价格。”

田径：埃米期待前行

无与伦比的主场之爱
野心勃勃的追求
希望伦敦能在2029年再次迎接世锦赛
赛道纪录
亨特的历史性一周得益于伯明翰观众的助威——她的目光已投向2029年再次主场作战
詹姆斯·托尼报道
埃米·亨特毫不掩饰她对一切的渴望。在六天内斩获四枚金牌后，她现在将目标瞄准了田径运动再次回归主场。
如果伦敦成功赢得2029年世锦赛的主办权，亨特届时正值短跑黄金年华。
伦敦与慕尼黑、罗马和内罗毕展开四方角逐，结果将在世界田联下月于布达佩斯召开的理事会会议上揭晓。
伦敦曾在九年前举办过世锦赛，705,000张门票售罄，成为历史上最成功的一届赛事——而亨特当时还是一名青少年观众。
“我当时15岁，有幸观看了尤塞恩·博尔特的决赛，那对我来说是巨大的鼓舞，”亨特说。
“我们知道这个国家对田径运动的热爱有多深厚。伦敦的钻石联赛几周前就售罄，短短几周内我们已在格拉斯哥和伯明翰举办了两项大型赛事。这对英国运动员来说意义非凡，能再次感受主场优势将改变一切。本周这份主场优势已为我带来了巨大的不同。”
伯明翰欧洲锦标赛初期曾因空座位受到批评，但最后四天场场爆满，总观众达218,000人，远超组织者预期，电视
“能再次感受到观众的支持，对英国运动员意义重大”
观众的反响也非常强烈。毫无疑问，亨特现在已成为BBC体育风云人物奖的大热人选，在市场上超越了世界一英里纪录保持者乔希·克尔。
与克尔上个月在世人面前打破一英里世界纪录的壮举一样，亨特也毫不掩饰自己夺取四枚欧洲金牌的雄心壮志。“自信的表达某种程度上会吸引人们，”亨特昨天在创造欧洲历史后说道。
“人们被那种毫不掩饰、充满自信、全力以赴的表达方式所吸引。
“在其他体育项目中，如果你要参加温布尔登决赛，显然你想赢，但我认为有时候[在田径比赛中]，我们的所作所为中存在更多不确定性，因为有更多对手与我们同场竞技，有时人们会更害怕说出自己的雄心。
“但是我认为生命短暂。为什么不追求雄心？我们都在想这些事，为什么不大声说出来呢？”
尽管亨特表现出色，英国队在伯明翰的奖牌榜上仍被意大利超越，但九枚金牌是自苏黎世2014年以来的最佳成绩。

佐治亚·亨特渴望匈牙利夺更多荣誉
撰文：保罗·马丁·乔治·亨特
BILL正在布达佩斯享受着「一枝独秀」的地位，她正准备在布达佩斯完成黄金一年之后再创辉煌。
这位32岁的选手在伯明翰举行的欧洲锦标赛最后一晚，凭借最新战术大师级表现赢得了个人首枚1500米欧洲金牌，此前她已斩获世锦赛室内赛和英联邦运动会冠军。
与同胞乔希·克尔和埃米·亨特一样，亨特毫不讳言自己的雄心壮志，并在2026年初就将目标锁定四大赛事夺冠。
目前她需要在未来几个月的匈牙利首届世界田径终极锦标赛中延续火热状态。
亨特表示：「作为夺冠热门出战并最终夺冠是很难的。」
「这比看起来要难得多。能向自己和所有人证明这一点意义重大。」
「我一直在拥抱这些承诺和想法，心想『放手一搏吧』。大家都知道我想赢，我也知道我想赢。现在我要全力以赴。」
「乔希·克尔今年做得很出色，他谈论此事的方式令我备受鼓舞。埃米·亨特也是如此，她说出了自己的目标。」
「我真的很喜欢英国田径界所有人推动这一棒的方式。我们正处于一个有趣的时代。」
如果她将重心转向更短距离项目，或许能为包含范妮·罗德伯恩、奥黛丽·威尔和范妮·布罗德斯的赛场增添悬念。
她补充道：「我还没有参加过配速800米比赛，但我即将面对一众速度型选手，期待在那里一展身手。」

板球：考克斯的关键联系
撰文：大卫·查尔斯沃思
英格兰三号击球手乔丹·考克斯认为，他在印度超级联赛与维拉特·科利共度的时光为其做好了征战板球测试赛的准备。
考克斯在赛季初因伤错过了埃塞克斯队的大部分比赛，但得以在皇家挑战者班加罗尔队担任板凳球员，并获得了队友、印度球星科利（37岁）的指导。
过去几年对这位25岁的选手而言颇为坎坷——他于2024年眼看就要迎来测试赛首秀，却因伤错失机会，使得雅各布·贝瑟尔得以挤进并超越他。
考克斯最终在今年6月对阵新西兰的比赛中以第7棒身份完成测试赛首秀，而贝瑟尔右膝的伤情又为他在本周对阵巴基斯坦的英格兰首发阵容中腾出了顶级顺序的位置，比赛将于3月7日开始。
考克斯表示：「2024年我明明已经戴上了那顶测试赛帽子，却没能如愿，听起来很糟糕，但那种感觉就像是世界末日。」
「我记得当时和维拉特谈过此事。他说：『有数十亿人根本不知道我是谁。太阳明天还会升起。』」
「他在场上疯狂拼搏，但下场后却是最和善的人之一。」
「我要学习如何做到这一点。如何在场上异常凶悍，下场后人人都说『这小伙真不错』。我会永远铭记他的建议。无论何时心情低落或需要帮助，我都会给他发短信。他总是随时待命。」
考克斯已获保证将在英格兰「后巴兹球」时代对阵巴基斯坦的首两场测试赛中至少出战，英格兰队昨日在利兹训练，而就在前一天他们刚结束「百球赛」决赛。三位参与伦敦决赛的球员——开局击球手本·杜克特及快速投球手乔希·汤和加斯·阿特金森——昨日抵达约克郡但并未参加训练。
这导致英格兰推迟了首发阵容的公布，而在本·斯托克斯和布伦登·麦卡勒姆（前队长及前主教练）执教期间，这一公布是惯例做法。
投球手奥利·罗宾逊在伴侣上周产下女儿后昨日参加了训练。
过去数周，考克斯与新任英格兰队长乔·鲁特一同效力于威尔士火焰队，并乐于与这位约克郡人加深了解。
考克斯补充道：“我对乔有了更深入的了解。当你在这个英格兰环境中频繁进出时，能真正了解一些人，这感觉很奇怪。
‘但能够有三个半星期的时间与乔一起，在训练网中真正与他并肩击球，并聊聊板球和生活，这太棒了。’考克斯在2019年县际锦标赛中仅在第四局位置击球一次，两次对阵诺丁汉郡的得分分别为22和20，两次均被印度名将拉维昌德兰·阿什温淘汰出局。
然而，他在埃塞克斯队中担任第四号击球手，而在早期职业生涯中大部分时间为肯特队开局，他正享受着在英格兰队顶级三人组中留下自己印记的机会。
当被问及接到征召时的第一反应时，考克斯表示：‘这会很有趣！’
‘马库斯·诺斯给我打电话，告诉我‘不要改变你在县级板球中一直采用的打法。去拥抱挑战，享受乐趣。’这就是我现在想要做的。’

保罗·戈斯特撰
维吉尔·范·戴克对新搭档的表现印象深刻，但表示要建立默契还需时日。
这位红军队长今夏失去了搭档易卜拉希马·科纳特，后者转投皇家马德里。
杰里米·雅凯和罗纳德·阿劳霍在后防线表现出色，安德尼·伊拉奥拉的球队在季前赛中以2-0击败意大利球队科莫，顺利收官。
雅凯自7月1日以6000万英镑从雷恩加盟后首次在夏季赛程中亮相，便以一场压倒性的表现吸引了众人注意，并在科迪·加尔普瓦的首开纪录后攻入第二球。
半场休息时雅凯被阿劳霍换下，后者上周从巴塞罗那租借加盟，这位乌拉圭国脚与范·戴克并肩作战。
范·戴克现已向雅凯和阿劳霍（下图圈出）发起挑战，要求他们在竞技比赛开始后继续保持良好状态，首场比赛即为周日对阵纽卡斯尔的客场之旅。
"杰里米表现不错，罗纳德也是。"范·戴克（右图）表示，"这是个好开始，希望他能继续保持。"
"他踢完45分钟后有些疲惫，但这很正常，毕竟他长时间没上场比赛就直接踢满45分钟。"
"现在就看他如何恢复了。"
"我们明早还会回到训练场，然后为纽卡斯尔的比赛做准备。圣詹姆斯公园向来是块硬骨头。"
"我会通过比赛建立关系。我不会说这是唯一的方式，但比赛和训练完全不同。"
"杰里米的英语比罗纳德好一些，但说到底我们都是优秀的足球运动员。"
"我们能看到并嗅到一些如何应对特定局面的时刻。"
"但很明显，你们需要一起培养默契，这需要一些时间。在我看来这完全正常，但希望我们能尽快建立起来。"
"这是一场对阵控球能力和传球质量都很出色的对手的好测试，有时你们会被对手打穿。"
"但从很多球员踢满90分钟来看，这是美好的一天。显然，赢球总是好的，现在我们有一周时间为真正的战斗做准备。"
"我感到兴奋。这是我的第10个赛季，我感觉状态不错，迫不及待想要开始比赛。"
"每个人都渴望投入比赛并保持强度，但这是一项团队运动，我们需要所有人团结一致才能做到这一点。"

利物浦将在四周内连续两次在超级周日黄金时段电视转播中对阵曼城和阿森纳，以检验他们的卫冕资格。
曼城将于10月8日前往默西赛德郡，而卫冕冠军阿森纳则将于11月1日造访安德尼·伊拉奥拉的球队。
转播方最新公布的电视转播赛程还包括：曼联客场对阵切尔西的比赛原定于10月19日15:00开球，现改为12:30。
阿森纳将于10月10日午间在TNT Sports直播中主场对阵利兹联，而当晚晚些时候曼联将在Sky体育台迎战热刺。
考文垂将连续两周亮相周一晚黄金时段足球，先是10月12日对阵纽卡斯尔联的客场比赛，随后弗兰克·兰帕德将带队一周后造访热刺。

埃辛索是拖拉机队的明星球员
作者：达伦·韦尔斯
伊普斯维奇主帅加里·奥尼尔从前东家斯特拉斯堡挖角，完成了对胡利奥·埃辛索和阿卜杜勒·瓦塔拉的永久转会。
前布莱顿边锋埃辛索重返波特曼路球场，在2024 / 25赛季曾以租借形式效力伊普斯维奇，随后于次年夏天加盟斯特拉斯堡。
这位巴拉圭前锋在上赛季法国联赛中是奥尼尔手下的核心球员，攻入12球并送出9次助攻，助斯特拉斯堡闯入欧协联半决赛。
这位22岁的球员转会斯特拉斯堡时身价为1700万英镑，同时在世界杯期间出战巴拉圭队所有比赛，并在32强赛阶段攻破德国队球门。
“我非常开心能重回伊普斯维奇镇足球俱乐部，”埃辛索说，“我在租借期间过得很愉快，也很高兴看到他们上赛季赢得升级重返英超。”
“我上赛季在法国与主教练共事，能再次为他效力并加盟伊普斯维奇这样的伟大俱乐部，我感到非常兴奋。”
主教练奥尼尔表示：“他是一位年轻球员，能在无路可走时创造机会，职业生涯中已多次证明这一点。”
“我们很高兴他能加盟。”
20岁的科特迪瓦前锋瓦塔拉（插图）也从斯特拉斯堡加盟，两笔转会均为未披露的费用，双方签约五年，至2031年。
于今年6月接替基兰·麦肯纳出任伊普斯维奇主帅的奥尼尔说：“瓦塔拉是一位天才的年轻球员，能胜任多个位置，因此是我们阵容的优秀补充。”
“我们上赛季在法国与他共事时很享受，很高兴能有机会在伊普斯维奇再次与他合作。”
为被任命为心爱的纽卡斯尔队长而自豪
撰稿人：肖恩·麦考密克 采写：李·赖德
丹·伯恩透露，被任命为纽卡斯尔新任队长令他倍感自豪——并称这是他从小就梦寐以求的时刻。
从阿斯达超市员工到欧冠联赛和世界杯的经历早已广为人知。
但现在，在新任主帅马蒂亚斯·亚斯勒授予袖标后，这成为了他最引以为傲的成就。
“的确！被任命为俱乐部队长我感到非常自豪，”现年34岁的伯恩说，“有些事情在孩提时根本无法想象——但对我来说，从很早开始就梦想成为纽卡斯尔的队长，所以对这次机会心怀感激，期待本赛季带领小伙子们前行。”
“周四上午他把我和乔伊（乔尔林顿，刚被任命为副队长）叫进去，先问我们能为这个角色带来什么，然后问我想不想当队长，显然我绝不会拒绝这个提议。”
“我很高兴他选择了我担任此职，当然我也理解球迷的期望，作为本地人，我深知球迷的期待。正如我所说，我们的球队很年轻，希望我能向小伙子们展示作为纽卡斯尔球员应有的表现。”这番话意义非凡
亚斯勒在未亲眼目睹伯恩代表纽卡斯尔比赛的情况下，便选择他接替布鲁诺·吉马良斯担任队长。
在一支充满年轻人的球队中，伯恩在周日1:1战平斯特拉斯堡后的点球大战失利中，成为纽卡斯尔的经验之谈。
在必要时传达指令，同时在场上以身作则，并在两次关键的解围头球中奋不顾身，化解对球门的威胁。
亚斯勒在执教奥地利萨尔茨堡红牛时，在一支年轻球队中让35岁的安德烈亚斯·乌尔默担任队长。
伯恩说：“我在纽卡斯尔效力多年，参加过很多比赛，所以现在我感觉自己已经积累了足够的信心，知道自己能在这个层次上胜任。”
“当然，我度过了一个美妙的夏天（随英格兰队出征），享受每一分钟，尽管最终结果令我失望，但我认为对我来说，能有几周时间进行心理调整非常重要。身体状态感觉不错，但我希望能带着兴奋回归并推动本赛季的发展。”
纽卡斯尔将在周日主场对阵利物浦揭开新赛季序幕，伯恩透露埃迪·豪在上赛季最后一天输给富勒姆后情绪低落——但他承认从未料到豪会辞去纽卡斯尔主帅一职。
上月末，在纽卡斯尔以4:1负于布里斯托城后，这一消息震动了俱乐部。
当时伯恩仍在加拿大休养，从世界杯赛程中恢复过来，正在度假，醒来后得知豪离职的消息，令纽卡斯尔陷入动荡。
伯恩说：“我知道富勒姆比赛后他很失望，但我以为经过夏天的调整他会重新振作，所以在休赛期经常与他交谈。”
“我在加拿大得知这个消息，醒来时只收到了几条短信。听着，我认为变革总有其时机，埃迪显然认为对他来说，是时候离开了。”
弗兰克·塔伊的前锋阿沃尼伊
考文垂足球俱乐部从诺丁汉森林签下了前锋塔尔沃·阿沃尼伊。
这位29岁的球员（左图）在2022年加盟森林后，在各项赛事的103次出场中攻入23球。
"但上赛季在诺丁汉森林仅获得3次首发机会，他渴望在考文垂建社区体育场球场的更多出场时间，在主教练弗兰克·兰佩尔蒂麾下效力。
"我对这个赛季感到非常兴奋，迫不及待想要开始比赛，"他说道。
"我真的很期待与我的新队友们并肩作战。
"我已经看到他们上赛季表现得有多出色，从英冠升级而来。他们一直表现优异。"
阿沃尼伊（左图）在周日市议会举行的诺丁汉森林对阵布雷斯特的2-0友谊赛中，受到了球队的夹道欢迎。
在中场休息时，队友们甚至将他抛向空中（最左侧）。
森林老板埃万盖洛斯·马里纳基斯也对这位球员表达了敬意。
"塔尔沃将永远在诺丁汉森林的历史上占据特殊位置，"他说道。
"他是我们旅程中最具代表性的人物之一，为我们的支持者带来了永远难忘的快乐时刻。"
足球：英超联赛倒计时

作者：汤姆·坎顿
马丁·厄德高盛赞"斗士"布鲁诺·吉马良斯，称阿森纳有望在社区盾杯胜利后夺得多项冠军。
枪手队在加的夫以3-0击败曼城，队长厄德高在上半场早段完成了最后一粒进球。
自吉马良斯今夏加盟以来，这是两人首次在中场搭档，看起来配合已然天衣无缝。
"这真的很棒，"厄德高说道。"从他第一天加入起，一切都显得如此自然。
"尽管过去我们与他有过一些激烈的对抗，但他现在已成为球队不可或缺的一部分，你能看到他的质量。
"他能抢断，他是个斗士，但同时他在控球方面也有着极高的质量。他在控球时非常冷静。
"他总能在恰当的时机出球，并找到传球路线。这太出色了。克里斯托斯·佐利斯也是，能看到新球员如此快速地融入并表现出色，真的很棒。"
厄德高在过去两个赛季中面临的批评之一，是他经常深度回撤，放弃前腰的进攻位置，承担从后场组织进攻的责任。
新援前纽卡斯尔队长的加盟似乎已经解决了这一问题，厄德高认为两人之间已建立默契。"这种联系已经存在——你能感受到，"他说道。
"他是一名顶级球员。从训练的第一秒起，你就能感受到他的存在感和质量。与他合作真的很轻松。他是一名出色的球员，我期待与他并肩作战。"阿森纳或许赢得了英超联赛冠军，但这并非没有争议，他们的比赛方式也常被作为争议点。
厄德高上赛季因四次受伤缺阵，这无疑是球队表现不佳的因素之一，但队长认为球队的风格将灵活多变，根据不同对手调整。
"这取决于比赛和对手，"当被问及阿森纳本赛季是否会更加直接时，他说道。"我们可以用多种不同的方式比赛。
"我们可以通过不同的方式得分。这是我们的优势之一——我们的多样性。
"我们能够适应并为其他球队制造多种问题，同时也能防守。我们期待现在就开始比赛，并度过一个美好的赛季。"
然而，重点是赢得更多奖杯，因为球队在过去几个月中已经尝到了金属的滋味。
在社区盾杯中三球击败曼城或许不会赢得最严苛批评者的赞誉，但这绝非可以轻视的成就。
欧德高表示，球队希望展现自身实力，并渴望在本赛季赢得更多奖牌。
“我们想证明我们的水平，”他说道，“当然，去年我们赢得了联赛冠军。但今年我们想要更多。
“还有很多值得争夺的目标。我们希望在联赛中再次夺冠，此外还有其他奖杯。我们还有很大的提升空间。”
塞布的苏格兰激情项目
作者：加文·麦卡弗蒂
新任苏格兰国家队主教练电视采访 波科诺利宣称苏格兰足球的激情与他的执教理念高度契合。
这位比利时前国脚在接替史蒂夫·克拉克的执教记录后备受期待——克拉克曾带队三次晋级大赛。
克拉克在世界杯后辞职，尽管在大部分大赛经历中未能激发球迹，但波科诺利强调他将尊重前任的"传承"。
不过，这位39岁的教练——他曾率领联合圣吉洛伊斯队时隔90年首夺比利时联赛冠军——也希望将自己的个性融入球队。
这位前西布罗姆维奇和布莱顿左后卫表示："我从不面对任何挑战时感受不到连接。苏格兰是一个对足球充满激情的国家，我也充满激情。
"当我第一次接触这个机会时，并不是那种拿起电话就‘嗯……’的感觉。我立刻感到好奇和兴趣，因为我总能感受到苏格兰足球激情中那种特别的东西。
"这是我做出决定的重要原因之一，因为它能让我在场上打造的风格与球迷的期待形成良好契合。"
波科诺利避免夸夸其谈地改变球队风格，但他认为自己的执教理念能与球迹产生共鸣。
"我希望保持过去建立的坚实基础，"他说道。"当你想到苏格兰时，那里有充满激情的球员并肩奋战。
"我将尝试做的，也是我们有能力做到的，就是或许从进攻端开始，转向更具侵略性的向前推进。"

凯尔-沃克崩溃
在Prime系列中播出
作者：汤姆·维克托
瓜迪奥拉潸然泪下
在罗德里受伤后仅数周——那么，当这位超级球星永远离开后，恩佐·马雷斯卡又该何去何从？
曼城球迷担心，在失去这位世界最佳中场后，俱乐部的未来将何去何从，他们即将看到一段可怕的提醒，告诉他们情况可能有多糟。
一部新纪录片记录瓜迪奥拉执教曼城最后两个赛季的幕后故事，纪录片中展现了瓜帅在与凯尔·沃克发生争执后在更衣室里情绪崩溃的一幕。
这场冲突发生在曼城客场0:2不敌利物浦后——仅数周前罗德里因伤缺阵。
在此之前，有罗德里坐镇的曼城在英超联赛中保持52场不败。
安菲尔德的失利是曼城联赛四连败——各项赛事六场七败——压力开始显现。
纪录片的独家镜头拍下了曼城更衣室内的场景，沃克愤怒地斥责主教练，气愤自己被单独指责。
他说道：“每次会议，每次该死的会议，你都在提我的名字。”
当瓜迪奥拉表示沃克的名字被提及很多次是因为他是队长时，这位英格兰国脚声称“你并不想让我当队长”。
这位右后卫继续说道：“我为其他人做出了反应，我丢了球，你却总把我的名字扯进来。”
这对双方的争执出现在Prime Video新推出的四集纪录片《美丽的执念》中，
该片展现了瓜迪奥拉作为曼城主帅最后两个赛季的幕后花絮。面对沃克的猛烈抨击，瓜帅在向球员们发表激情演讲时几乎无法控制自己的情绪。
他说道：“如果我是个问题，你们必须告诉我。‘我不会为了金钱或仅仅为了留在这里而待下去。我续约是因为我想和你们在一起，我想在这一位置上奋战。我不希望你们觉得我要离开、要逃离你们。我不希望有种感觉，球队的拼图会散架。而我感受到的是，‘不，我想帮助你们。’但如果你们觉得，队长们先说，然后是其他人，觉得有问题？告诉我。这不会改变我对你们的爱。一秒也不会。但我想要奋战。这就是全部。对不起。”
在罗德里缺阵的那个赛季，曼城在前12场比赛中输掉了其中6场，最终以71分的成绩排名第三——这是瓜迪奥拉在伊蒂哈德10年成功生涯中最低的积分回报。
《美丽的执念》将于明天在英国和爱尔兰的Prime Video独家上线
布阿迪将以8500 万英镑m加盟
来自头版
与曼城的交易
这位18岁少年已成为世界足坛最具天赋和最令人兴奋的青年才俊之一。
曼城高层密切关注他在今夏世界杯上的表现，尤其是在罗德里离队已成定局后。
布阿迪在赛事中表现出色，在摩洛哥六场比赛中首发五场，帮助球队闯入八强。
曼城主席Khaldoon Al-Mubarak对这位年轻人在关键时刻的表现印象深刻。
新任主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡将布阿迪视为理想的、长期的伯纳多·席尔瓦替代人选——后者在上赛季末离队加盟皇家马德里。布阿迪自2023年10月首次亮起，三天后年满16岁时便已为里尔出场88次，并帮助球队上赛季在法甲联赛中排名第三。
曼城仍渴望签下一位直接替代罗德里的持球中场，但与切尔西就阿根廷球星恩佐·费尔南德斯的交易谈判已陷入僵局。

奇尔基的冒险值得一试
作者：汤姆·维克托
佩普·瓜迪奥拉无视了雷扬·奇尔基的种种红旗警示，最终敲定了这笔转会。
奇尔基"混乱"的名声令曼城高层对其是否能接替凯文·德布劳内的位置产生了分歧。
足球总监雨果·维亚纳承认，这位球星场下的名声着实让人担忧。
但当主帅从曼彻斯特的餐厅致电奇尔基时，两人一拍即合。
这位法国国脚在加盟曼城前不久，还在欧国联赛事中对阵西班牙时为国家队出场并表现出色。
瓜迪奥拉开玩笑说，曼城首席执行官费兰·索里亚诺之所以不高兴，是因为这位里昂出生的球星凭借那场比赛将自己的身价抬高了1000 万英镑。
但他仍坚持这笔交易，奇尔基（图中与瓜迪奥拉合影）最终以3400 万英镑m的价格于2025年6月加盟。
在《美丽的执念》这部Prime Video纪录片中，该片聚焦瓜迪奥拉在曼城的最后两个赛季，奇尔基的名字也被提及为德布劳内的潜在替代者——这位比利时人离开伊蒂哈德球场后，曼城需要填补他的空缺。
外界对奇尔基的心态存有疑虑，但瓜迪奥拉却极为渴望将他招至麾下。
"关于奇尔基的信息并不那么正面，"维亚纳表示。
索里亚诺补充道："大家都清楚他的能力，但外界普遍认为他‘混乱’。”
然而，首席执行官后来告诉主席哈利敦·阿尔穆巴拉克，维亚纳和前体育总监齐齐·贝吉里斯泰因的调查改变了俱乐部的看法。索里亚诺说："曾有一人给出过不好的报告，但[报告]是在其非常年轻时做出的，因此他们开始相信，他的行为或许只是个传闻。"
奇尔基立即证明了自己的价值，在世俱杯中进球，并在英超对阵狼队的首秀中再次破门。他在英格兰足球的首个赛季便交出了10粒进球、15次助攻和两座奖杯（足总杯和联赛杯）的成绩单。
奇尔基是瓜迪奥拉时代的最后一笔签约，这位主帅在2025-26赛季结束后离任。
关键时刻泪洒赛场
作者：汤姆·维克托
凯文·德布劳内在接受曼城离队事实时忍不住流下了眼泪。
这位比利时中场（下图）曾随队赢得六次英超冠军，并作为2022-23赛季"三冠王"阵容的核心成员。
但他在伊蒂哈德球场的时光因主教练佩普·瓜迪奥拉和曼城高层告知他不会获得合同续约而突然终结。
"这真的很艰难，"德布劳内在瓜迪奥拉新纪录片《美丽的执念》中表示。"我的孩子们不想离开。"
"这段日子真的很难熬，我不再基于自己做决定了。"
"去另一支球队踢球很容易。但对我们全家来说，这段时光真的很艰难。"
德布劳内于2015年8月从狼队加盟曼城，在曼努埃尔·佩莱格里尼麾下效力一个赛季，在瓜迪奥拉麾下效力九个赛季。
他在英超助攻榜历史排名第二，并为曼城在瓜迪奥拉执教下创纪录地连续四次夺得联赛冠军立下汗马功劳。瓜迪奥拉在2026年又率队再夺两座奖杯——联赛杯和足总杯——后离任。
德布劳内转投那不勒斯是球队向年轻化转型计划的一部分，目的是培养能够持续贡献多年的新生力量。
"我们正在告别一支不可思议的冠军球队，必须重建一支新的球队，"曼城时任足球总监齐基·贝吉里斯坦当时表示。"那些让我们赢得一切的球员，现在必须离开，我们要引入新人、新活力、新能量。否则，我们将无法继续胜利。"
曼城此后斥资引进年轻才俊，包括在德布劳内离队时年仅21岁的雷扬·切尔基。贝吉里斯坦在任职13年后也卸任，由年轻的体育总监雨果·维亚纳接替。
而在瓜迪奥拉离任后的首个夏天，曼城以£116的转会费从诺丁汉森林签下英格兰中场埃利奥特·安德森，安德森当时年仅23岁。
切尔西将迎来重组
来自体育版
切尔西正日益倒退。
博埃利持有12.8%的股份——与沃尔特和汉斯容·维斯相同——他们所在的财团在2022年5月以42.5亿英镑的价格从俄罗斯寡头阿布拉莫维奇手中收购切尔西。
尽管博埃利和沃尔特都在考虑自身立场，但尚未达成任何协议，不过任何出价都可能使切尔西估值超过50亿英镑。
沃尔特上周以创纪录的价格出售了NBA球队洛杉矶湖人队，据了解交易金额约为90亿英镑。
博埃利、沃尔特和克利尔莱克均未对此发表评论。

你能算出每款笔记本电脑的价格吗？
克里斯一向是个科技盲，但随着女儿生日临近，他决定鼓起勇气前往当地的Laptop Land商店为女儿挑选生日礼物。为了确保能买到最划算的产品，他明智地决定询问店员有关不同笔记本电脑型号的信息。
“如果您在寻找一款高性能笔记本电脑，我们最贵的型号‘便携专业版’拥有最大的内存容量，”店员说道。
“那可能有点超出我的预算。14英寸屏幕的型号内存容量是PalmTop的一半，对吗？”克里斯问道。
“是的，没错。如果您想要物有所值，12英寸的WebSurf Beta和内存为2GB的笔记本电脑都不到200英镑，”店员补充道。
“我想我女儿可能需要一款内存更大的型号。据我所知，售价395英镑的型号屏幕尺寸比TechBook小整整两英寸。”
“没错。由于正值换季促销，12GB的笔记本电脑目前价格不到15英寸型号的一半。
WebSurf Alpha的价格最近也降了，现在的售价低于17英寸屏幕的笔记本电脑，”店员说道。
克里斯花了几分钟才理清每款笔记本电脑的不同配置。最终，他成功将每款笔记本电脑与其屏幕尺寸和内存容量对应起来——你能做到吗？

Fears grow that Calais Jungle style camps could spring up on South Coast
SMUGGLERS USE
BRITAIN AS
'TRANSIT
HUB' FOR
MIGRANTS
EXCLUSIVE
BY MICHAEL KNOWLES
and ELEANOR BURLEIGH
MIGRANT camps like the notorious Jungle in Calais could now grow on our coast as Britain becomes a transit hub for migrants wanting to reach the Continent.
New arrivals are already sleeping under bridges and in tents near Dover's ferry port as traffickers exploit a loophole in our borders.
Migrants arriving in the UK on visitor or student visas are contacting smugglers "within days" because they want to reach other European countries

Devolution must boost
jobs, not bureaucracy
North East leaders urge PM to cut red tape
BY JONATHAN WALKER Whitehall Editor
LEADERS in the North East of England have urged Andy Burnham to ensure his devolution plans create jobs for local people rather than politicians and bureaucrats.
Durham, Gateshead and Sunderland councils have issued a joint plea for the Prime Minister to cut taxes, scrap planning red tape and reduce energy bills in their region.
They said it could help create thousands of jobs – including in the defence sector – but warned against creating extra layers of bureaucracy.
The North East has traditionally been a Labour heartland but the three local councils are all now led by Reform UK.
Devolution plans published by Mr Burnham include giving more powers to regional mayors and creating a No10 North in Manchester.
But a report by the Adam Smith Institute think-tank calls for the creation of "Enterprise Zones" with special rules to support busi-
nesses at five sites in the North East. It claims the publicly owned land in High Hanning, Quarrington Hill, High Pittington, Blaydon Quarry and Newburn Riverside would be ideal for creating a thriving defence industry.
Kyle Gennier, from Durham County
Council, said: "Any proposal to bring jobs to County Durham must work for the people who live here.
"That means building upon our industrial and military heritage, while providing the high-quality, rewarding and long-term job opportunities that those from County Durham deserve."
Nick Allan, leader of Gateshead Council, said "establishing a centre of production for defence would achieve
a number of objectives for the borough". And Chris Eynon, leader of Sunderland City Council, said the "innovative idea" would "superccharge our manufacturing base".
Mitchell Palmer, of the Adam Smith Institute, said the proposal to focus on defence manufacturing in the North East would “elevate a struggling region, pilot possible nationwide reform and allow Britain to better protect herself”.

'It's about being stronger'
Motsi looks great as she chats with Women's Health
Strictly star Motsi Mabuse on doing best she can for her body
MOTSI Mabuse shows off the impressive results of her health kick as Strictly Come Dancing quicksteps back to our TVs.
And she urged other women: "Do what you need to do to get healthy. This journey was never about becoming smaller. It was about becoming stronger."
The judge on the BBC show, 45, added she tries not to be too critical of her body, given her busy life as a working mum.
She said: "I have to remind myself to have love for my body.
"If I see somebody with a six-pack, I'll channel my mind,
'You're healthy, you're doing the best you can for your body'."
Motsi, who had her daughter with second husband

FEARS OF CAMPS LIKE CALAIS
'This shows Shabana Mahmood's slack visa regime lies in people France and Spain won't'

where entry requirements are more restrictive, according to a report from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime.
Programme manager Giulia D'Amico wrote in the report: "Dover has become a temporary accumulation point, with people sheltering under bridges and near freight parking, in scenes reminiscent of the Calais Jungle."
Evidence of the emerging trade could be seen yesterday in the Kent port town where sleeping bags and clothes were left under a bridge alongside other detritus.
A Senegalese national camping in Dover said "people are sleeping everywhere", including in the parks and along the waterfront. It
exposes another glaring loophole in Britain's borders, which is being seized upon by criminal gangs.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said borders are in "chaos" under Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. He added: "She can't keep illegal immigrants out, now it turns out she can't stop them using the UK as a transit hub either.
Emergency
"These people can't get a visa to directly enter a Schengen area country like France or Spain – but apparently they can get a visa to enter the UK.
"This just shows how slack Shabana Mahmood's visa regime is – letting in people that France and
Spain wouldn't allow into their countries. The visa system needs to be urgently tightened up a lot so these migrants can't enter the UK in the first place."
Reform's Kent County Council leader Linden Kemikaran said: "Organised criminals are using our county as some sort of arrival and departure lounge: taxis dropping people in Kent lay-bys, trucks loading up in our freight parking, people randomly sleeping under bridges in Dover waiting for a gang to move them on. In Kent we have an illegal migration emergency and we have had enough."
Gangs are seizing on Britain's
Shabana Mahmood was blasted by Chris Philp
lax borders to offer routes into France, Germany, Spain and other European destinations, usually by smuggling migrants on to vehicles.
Many of these routes are being advertised on TikTok.
But it is understood no single network has yet seized control of the UK-to-France route. Kurdish
gangs control the vast majority of small-boat departure points for crossings to the UK.
Ms D'Amico added: "These groups arbitrate who departs and from where, and they have defined zones and engage in violent competition over launch sites. There has been no such consolidation in Dover; instead the UK market resembles the early stages of a smuggling economy, before enforcement pressure selects the actors best equipped to survive.
"Here, individuals from Algeria, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and South Asia handle recruitment, transport and concealment, with no single group controlling the entire chain."

which has warned smugglers are trying to recruit lorry divers, confirmed gangs in the cross-Channel trade offer routes both ways.
Senegalese failed asylum seeker Arms Jawo, 20, who arrived in the UK 18 months ago, spoke to the Daily Express in Dover.
He said: "People do go over to France, but it's risky in the lorries. People are leaving because they're being rejected. If you're rejected, you have no right to stay, you have no help. Before that, people are sleeping everywhere. They're here, they're in parks at night, they're on the waterfront."
In January, 23 Bangladeshi men
were discovered in a lorry as it approached the ferry port in Dover.
And five suspected people-smugglers were charged with plotting to move migrants out of the UK.
Three taxi drivers, men aged between 43 and 55, were all separately arrested on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration, as was the 32-year-old Romanian lorry driver. A 43-year-old man, the suspected ringleader of the network, was also held in the New Cross area of South East London.
Around £30,000 cash was also seized from a property. The group allegedly focused on attempting to smuggle Pakistani and Bangladeshi
nationals out of the UK. Ms D'Amico said: "The way in which the authorities respond will influence how the situation develops.
"Exercising sustained pressure on a fragmented smuggling environment will not necessarily eliminate it; instead it will favour the groups best able to absorb risk and evade detection.
Coercion
"These actors are often better financed, more organised and more willing to use coercion.
"Dover now stands where Calais stood a decade ago, when a rela-
tively open market began to consolidate around a smaller number of dominant networks.
"Channel smuggling is no longer primarily a one-way phenomenon. It moves in both directions, using shared infrastructure, driven by discrepancies in two legal systems that no longer align.
"Recognising this is the first step towards a more coherent UK-EU response."
The National Crime Agency said: "The same gangs involved in smuggling people out of the UK illegally are often involved in bringing people in too, which is why targeting them is important, and the NCA
Somali 'cut official at hotel for migrants'
BY TED HENNESSEY
A SOMALI small-boat migrant allegedly slashed a welfare officer with a large kitchen knife at a hotel housing asylum seekers, a court heard.
Abdifatah Adani, 22, knifed Aaron Gomes "multiple times" at the Stanwell Hotel in Stanwell, Surrey, near Heathrow Airport, at around 6.30pm on Saturday, prosecutors say.
Armed officers from Surrey Police were called to the scene and Adani was later charged with one count of attempted murder.
Prosecutor Lucy Lumsden told Staines magistrates yesterday: "The complainant, Aaron Gomes, was employed as a welfare officer at the asylum hotel.
"This defendant has stabbed him multiple times until Mr Gomes lost balance before managing to escape.
"Police attended and began giving Mr Gomes first aid.
Wound
"He had lost a significant amount of blood, was very pale and going in and out of consciousness."
Mr Gomes sustained five knife wounds – two to the upper body and three to his leg, she added.
One wound was a "significant" injury to his upper body, after the blade penetrated his chest cavity, Ms Lumsden said.
Police said Mr Gomes was taken to hospital and is now in a "stable condition".
The court heard the defendant entered the UK via a small boat.
Adani, who wore a grey tracksuit and was assisted by a Somali interpreter, spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
The defendant was remanded in custody to next appear at Guildford crown court on September 17.
has a number of investigations into this kind of criminality.
"These gangs not only threaten the border security of both the UK and France, but also risk the lives of those they transport.
"We have seen people utilising the services of these groups to circumvent French visa restrictions or evade law enforcement attention."
The Home Office said: "We are working closely with France to prevent illegal migration attempts which exploit national borders.
"We have delivered a record-breaking increase in disruptions to criminal smuggling activity, including arrests, convictions, and seizures, rising by nearly 50% in the year ending March 2026."

Labour 'will build new homes on green belt'
BY KATIE HARRIS
NEW homes could be built on England's green belt as Labour scrambles to meet its housebuilding target.
The government has unveiled plans for thousands of houses near railway stations.
But housing minister Matthew Pennycook conceded that there is not enough land on brownfield sites.
Asked whether the "default yes" approach to planning approval would apply to green belt land, he told Sky News: "For well-connected stations outside of settlements, including the green belt, that default policy applies."
Target
He added: "We know there is not enough land on brownfield land registers across the country to deliver the volumes of homes our country needs each year, at least those that are viable and in the right location.
"So, in exceptional circumstances, green belt land should be developed on."
Despite PM Andy Burnham's pledge for more devolution, the planning shake-up means conflicting local positions will carry less weight if they are inconsistent with national policies.
Tory Shadow Housing Secretary Sir James Cleverly said: "Andy Burnham talks up devolution, but he is using the planning system to impose asylum seekers on middle England and now he is going to overrule councils on green belt development."
Yesterday Housing Secretary Angela Rayner insisted Labour is on track to meet its target to build 1.5 million homes within five years. She said: "I'm very clear we need these homes."
CAR washes and private swimming pools could be hit by water bans as Britain grapples with a drought following weeks of heatwaves.
Government scenario planners have warned that non-essential use bans could become widespread if the parched conditions continue.
NEUBs prevent businesses from using water for activities such as car washing, window cleaning and refilling private swimming pools.
Water companies apply for the restrictions, but they must be given the green light by ministers.
Millions of households have already been banned from using hosepipes this summer.
A government spokesman said: "We are preparing for a range of scenarios and working with the

National Drought Group to help maintain water supplies.
"We expect water companies to follow their established drought management plans and go further and faster to reduce leaks.
"We are clear that the water sector is not working for bill payers.
"That is why we are driving long-term change, including requiring companies to deliver record investment in infrastructure and changing the planning system to enable the construction of nine new reservoirs."
It comes as Housing Secretary Angela Rayner yesterday visited the remains of homes destroyed by a wildfire in the West Midlands.
Nineteen properties in Stourbridge burned down in the blaze last week, while 13 more were damaged.
Ms Rayner said: "The community have been exceptional, looking out for each other. The emergency services, the police, the fire, the ambulance service, the local authority, the local MP, Cat Eccles here, and the community have come together to really support each other.
'Adapt'
"But it is devastating to see the level of damage and the emotional turmoil of losing everything, and that's what these families have gone through."
At a Reform UK press conference, deputy leader Richard Tice urged
people to stop being "doom and gloom" about global warming.
He said: "Of course climate change is real, but where is the evidence that net zero is going to stop it? Where is the evidence? There isn't any.
"Climate change has always happened, it always will. Maybe the smarter thing to do is to adapt to it, rather than think arrogantly you can stop it. I'm old enough to remember 1976 – this feels a bit the same.
"I think when it's a bit warm, let's enjoy it. If it means that English wine and sparkling wine gets better and better – fantastic.
"That means we can take on the French – fantastic.
"Let's celebrate some of these things rather than just be sort of doom and gloom about it."
Now flood fears after drought
PARTS of the UK could have flooding this week, with heavy rain forecast to hit baked land as yet another water firm announced a hosepipe ban.
Wessex Water brought in the measure yesterday, its first such restrictions since the drought in the summer of 1976.
Some areas will have the "first meaningful rain for a long time", the Met Office said.
It added heavy showers are expected on Thursday, missing some areas but bringing the chance of surface flooding in places where rainfall is intense.
BY REBECCA SPEARE-COLE
The change comes after the fifth heatwave of the summer, which saw the hottest day of the year recorded in Kew Gardens, London, on Thursday when temperatures hit 38.1C.
The forecast rain may bring some welcome relief to parched land and firefighters tackling wildfires.
But it is unlikely to end widespread drought conditions that have put severe pressure on wildlife, farmers, transport, emergency services and water
resources. It will also turn noticeably cooler in the coming days. By Friday temperatures at night will be in single figures in some areas – sheltered valleys in the Brecon Beacons could see just 3 or 4C while 5 or 6C is forecast in the Cotswolds.
The National Fire Chiefs Council said 1,132 wildfires have been recorded across England and Wales this year.
Chairman Phil Garrigan said: "Conditions remain exceptionally dry in many parts and it only takes one spark to start a serious wildfire."

Murderer Simon Levy
Double killer
Levy denies attack on a prison officer
BY ANDY LINES and TIM HANLON
DOUBLE killer Simon Levy appeared in court yesterday to plead not guilty to assaulting a prison officer.
Levy watched proceedings from Belmarsh prison via a video link.
He spoke to plead not guilty to two charges and the case was sent to crown court for trial.
He also confirmed his name and address to the hearing held before Westminster magistrates in London.
Deputy chief magistrate Tan Ikram heard brief details of the allegations against Levy.
He is alleged to have stabbed the prison officer with a pen and attempted to strangle him during a meeting.
The court was told that Levy admitted being in the same room as the prison officer but denied assaulting him.
Assault
The case has been adjourned to Inner London crown court next month.
Levy, 41, was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and intentional suffocation over the incident on February 18 at the maximum security prison.
Last week Levy was told he will die behind bars after being handed a rare whole-life term for murdering two women and raping a third.
Levy killed 53-year-old grandmother Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo in March 2025 and 39-year-old mum-of-four Sheryl Wilkins five months later.
He raped and left a third victim, who survived, for dead.
Jason Lartey, defending Levy, said that his client denied carrying out the attack in prison.
More children
'intoxicated by extremism, radicalisation, or a desire to harm others'
A GROWING number of children are “becoming intoxicated by extremism, radicalisation or a desire to harm others”, an alarming report has revealed.
Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza says she is "kept awake at night" because youngsters are slipping through the net designed to prevent atrocities.
She warns that Prevent – the government's deradicalisation programme – does not work when children are fixated on violence without a clear ideology.
This includes those frequently talking about weapons, schoolchildren sharing videos of beheadings and kids idolising famous attackers.
Education chiefs have also warned, as part of the report, that some of these young people have chaotic home lives.
They believe it raises questions about their parents' ability to cope with responsibilities, while other children feel lonely and isolated, leading to them turning to online chatrooms and social media.
Understanding
Dame Rachel said: "It is clear we have a cohort of children becoming intoxicated by extremism, radicalisation or a desire to harm others, who need interventions that Prevent is not able to provide.
"A merry-go-round of referral and inaction. This group of children might be frequently talking about weapons, idolising 'famous' attackers, or sharing videos of violence [such as beheadings or suicides].
"They may be sharing extreme pornography with peers, encouraging others to join dangerous online communities or to self-harm.
"There is a group of children – those who are radicalised but are fixated on violence without a clear ideology – that the system we have created to protect us all from terror doesn't work for. That keeps me awake at night."
Dame Rachel revealed that Prevent received 4,700 referrals for children last year.
The watchdog warned that 71% of cases did not have a clear ideology.
Hundreds of youngsters have been referred
BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor
to the deradicalisation programme multiple times. Five have been referred five times, while officials have sought help with 33 children on four separate occasions. Another 187 were assessed three times.
Of the total Prevent referrals for children between April 2024 and March 2025, 79% were closed without progressing through the programme.
In this time period, almost 60% of Prevent referrals came from education, while police accounted for 20% and local authorities 11%.
But the commissioner's office found that at least (65\%) of referrals from education providers were referred back to education on closing, the vast majority of which ((93\%)) had not progressed any further through the Prevent programme.
Security experts fear children are being exposed to vast swathes of extremist content, including terrorist propaganda and videos of mass violence on social media.
This in turn is desensitising them to atrocities and normalising violence.
Southport monster Axel Rudakubana, who was 17 when he killed three girls at a dance class and tried to murder eight others and two adults two years ago, had been referred to Prevent three times but his case was closed over a lack of clear ideology.
The chairman of the inquiry into that attack previously said officers were “hampered” by a lack of clarity on whether they should take someone on who demonstrated signs of being fixated on violence but without adhering to a particular ideology.
Dame Rachel added: "Simply returning children to services that made the referral, without a clear understanding of what is driving behaviour or who will be responsible for meeting their needs, risks missing opportunities to provide the support children desperately need.
"We need a stronger safeguarding response, particularly for children who are fixated with violence but have no identified extremist ideology."

PM duped by fake White House aide
BY NINA LLOYD
ANDY Burnham exchanged messages with a person pretending to be Donald Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles, it has emerged.
The Prime Minister sent a few messages of no significance before becoming suspicious and the activity was reported to the appropriate authorities, sources said.
It was unclear when the messages were sent by Mr Burnham, who became PM on July 20.
A government spokesman said: "We do not comment on national security matters."
The British embassy in Washington raised the matter with the White House, two officials told Politico, which first reported the exchange.
A White House official told the outlet it had "nothing to do with the chief of staff's devices being hacked."
Last year it was reported the FBI was probing efforts to access Ms Wiles' phone after an impersonator contacted prominent Republicans and business chiefs while pretending to be her.
Plan to stop sex criminals using aliases
BY GEORGE LITHGOW
A LEGAL loophole that allows sex offenders to change their names to hide their criminal pasts could be closed by the government.
It comes after a woman found she was unknowingly dating a convicted paedophile.
Jason Brown, 50, reinvented himself after every conviction, and may have used as many as 20 different aliases.
His victim blasted the devious ploy as an "absolute joke" and called for a clampdown.
Yesterday No10 said: "Registered sex offenders are required to notify the police of any change of name.
"Failing to do so is a crime and anyone who commits this crime should be expected to face the full force of the law.
"If we need to strengthen the rule around this, we will, and it is something we are looking at."
Campaigners have called for sex offenders to be banned from changing their names by deed poll.
UP to 330,000 unemployed people will be forced to carry out work for their local council or lose benefits under Reform UK's plans to slash the welfare bill by £50 billion.
They will have to help clean the streets and parks, carry out minor repairs to council houses or work in libraries and community centres.
Jobseekers could also be told to assist schools or social service departments in "non-sensitive" roles that do not involve working with children or vulnerable people receiving care.
Claimants who refuse to take part in the scheme would have their benefits cut or stopped, said Reform's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick as he unveiled the party's Welfare to Work scheme yesterday.
It is part of a package of measures that includes banning non-British citizens from receiving working-age benefits such as universal credit or job-seeker's allowance, and slashing the number of people receiving disability benefits, including personal independence payments.
Mr Jenrick said: "There are more than 330,000 adults on UC capable of work, and who are supposed to be looking for it, which they have been reportedly doing so for more than 12 months. That can't keep going on.
"If taxpayers must contribute,

so must the able recipients of their support."
Those taking part in the scheme will get an extra £30 a week on top of their usual benefits towards the cost of transport and meals. But the plan was criticised by think-tank the Institute of Economic Affairs.
Boss Daniel Hannan, a former Conservative and now independent member of the House of Lords, said: "Requiring 330,000 people to do community service risks creating a costly new bureaucracy for councils. Welfare reform should save money, not give the state another scheme to adminis-

ter." Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: "I introduced reforms to cut the sprawling welfare budget after the pandemic by reducing the numbers on long-term benefits and radically overhauling PIP.
"Labour called them 'divisive' and scrapped all of them, allowing the benefits bill to continue spiralling.
Failing
"Robert Jenrick hailed my reforms for making the system fairer and enabling us to cut taxes responsibly.
"Reform continue to flip flop like they did on the two-child benefit cap, and their fantasy numbers are simply not plausible. Meanwhile, Labour are totally failing to tackle the problem."
Mr Jenrick said the average tax burden for each family to pay for the welfare state will reach £7,000 by 2031.
Reform's plan to stop foreigners receiving benefits would include EU nationals with settled status, who are currently eligible as part of the Brexit deal negotiated with the EU.
This stated that people living in the UK before December 31, 2020 – the day Brexit took place – would not lose the rights they currently had. Changing this will mean re-opening Brexit negotiations with Brussels.
The proposal to limit PIP involves extending the period employers have to provide sickness pay from 28 weeks to two years. To compensate for the cost, Reform would cut employer national insurance contributions.

Jewish comic wins fight on venue's ban
BY NICK FORBES
A VENUE has accepted it discriminated against a Jewish comedian when it cancelled his show at last year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Stand-up comic Philip Simon had been due to perform solo at the Banshee Labyrinth.
At the time, the venue said Mr Simon had expressed views that "align with the rhetoric and symbology of groups associated with humanitarian violations" in Palestine.
He had replied: "I have never expressed support for anything other than freeing the hostages and finding a way to peace."
Mr Simon took legal action against the venue, claiming it had discriminated against him on the grounds of "unlawful belief-based discrimination".
At Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday Mr Simon's lawyer David Welsh said "on the eve of the hearing" the venue had accepted it had acted unlawfully.
The judge retired to consider costs.
'Learn skills' to cut deaths from choking
BY ELLA PICKOVER
TOO many people are choking to death because bystanders lack the knowledge or confidence to intervene, a charity has warned.
A poll showed just 42% know how to give back blows and abdominal thrusts, previously known as the Heimlich manoeuvre.
Around 300 people die in England every year due to a choking incident, St John Ambulance said.
One woman said her friend saved her life after she choked on a fish bone in a Devon pub.
Leslie Sinoway, 54, of St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, said Lucy Rhoades, 55, of Totnes, dislodged the bone by delivering back blows.
She said: "I genuinely thought I was going to die. It was horrible."
The poll of 2,000 adults, conducted by Censuswide, found 19% had never heard of an abdominal thrust.
St John Ambulance's Save a Life September campaign is offering online guidance and free demos to learn the skills.
Camilla's right royal day out at the shops

Her twin grandsons, Gus and Harry, were also in attendance but did not appear to share the women's enthusiasm for clothes shopping, opting to head back to the car early instead.

The couple also share sons August, five, and Ernest, three.
Virgin on track for rival Channel Tunnel service
Branson's rail firm could end Eurostar 32-year monopoly
BY CIARAN McGRATH
VIRGIN Trains has been given the green light to run services to the Channel Tunnel, in a step forward for its plans to rival Eurostar.
The operator has secured regulatory approval to challenge Eurostar's dominance, but serious obstacles remain, a leading rail expert has warned.
The Office of Rail and Road has granted Virgin track access rights for up to 20 daily return services on High Speed 1, the line from London St Pancras to the Channel Tunnel.
The agreement, from October 2030 until the end of 2040, is only for the HS1 route, meaning Virgin still needs permission to operate in the tunnel and on Continental rail networks.
Eurostar has held a monopoly on the passenger routes since the tunnel
Eurostar trains could soon find rival Virgin, right, operating on same Channel Tunnel route
opened in 1994 and there are hopes the move could lead to lower fares.
Sir Richard Branson has previously argued it is "time to end this 30-year monopoly and bring some Virgin magic to the cross-Channel route."
Virgin must still secure paths on French, Belgian and Dutch networks.
The decision follows last year's approval for Virgin to share Eurostar's Temple Mills depot in East London, the only facility reachable from HS1.
But rail commentator Christian
Wolmar said Virgin faces physical and regulatory problems before its first train could run.
Referring to the London and Paris terminals, he said: "They're going to have to redesign the whole space underneath. I mean, there's a whole lot of wasted space at St Pancras.
"Gare du Nord is even worse - sometimes you have to queue halfway to the metro station."
Mr Wolmar also questioned whether Virgin had purchased the 20 trains
required for its proposed operation. He said: "Have they really bought those 20 new trains? To buy trains on spec before you've got any kind of real certainty of being able to use them is quite a gamble. They might never be able to run anything.
"It will be very difficult for Virgin to make any money out of this, given the huge capital investment required."
Another expert, Mark Smith of the Seat61 website, was more upbeat about the prospect of competition and believes passengers could benefit:
He said: "Virgin - and the two other potential operators Trenitalia and Gemini - will bring significant extra capacity and almost certainly lower average prices to journeys between London and the Continent, which is very good news for passengers."

Labour MP is suspended amid investigation into Covid loans

A LABOUR MP has been suspended as he faces questions about taxpayer-funded Covid business loans.
Bayo Alaba, the Labour MP for Southend East and Rochford, is understood to have referred himself to the Labour Party for investigation after the Times approached him with queries about a Covid-era loan given to one of his businesses.
The newspaper reported that he attempted to wind up one of his companies before settling one of two bounceback loans he took out.
Mr Alaba is now repaying both loans, the Times said.

‘An incredible light and force of nature’
Tributes to star Hayden Panettiere, dead at 36 in suspected overdose
BY TOM BRYANT
HOLLYWOOD actress Hayden Panettiere died from a suspected overdose, it has emerged.
The 36-year-old, best known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, was found dead on Sunday.
The cause of Hayden’s death is yet to be confirmed but in the recording of the 911 call, a responder is heard saying: “Responding. Overdose. CPR is in progress.”
The star has previously spoken of having endured a “horrible cycle for years of battling depression and anxiety and alcoholism and substance abuse”.
Things got so bad that in 2014, she gave full custody of her daughter Kaya to her ex-partner and former world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko to help with her recovery.
Emergency crews had responded to a call saying a female was in cardiac arrest at around 1.15pm on Sunday.
Paramedics arrived at the apartment in South Carolina and tried to resuscitate the actress. She was pronounced dead a little over an hour later.
Tumultuous
Hayden is understood to have been with on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson at the weekend after they were pictured flying out of LA together on Saturday.
The pair had a tumultuous relationship, with Brian being jailed for 45 days for domestic abuse against the actress.
According to police, an “acquaintance of Ms Panettiere placed the 911 call” but it is not known if this was Brian or not.
Police and the medical examiner are investigating her death, but have said the “preliminary investigation has not indicated any signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances”.
A statement from Hayden’s father Skip read: “It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her – and to the millions who watched her on screen.” Her father asked that her family be given privacy as they “take time to process this unimaginable loss”.
Scream co-star Melissa Barrera paid tribute to the actress, saying, “Rest in peace sweet Hayden,” alongside a broken heart emoji.
And actress Selma Blair added: “I love you. Don’t be gone. Don’t be gone. Please. Please.”
Hayden, whose mother Lesley Vogel was
also an actress, appeared in her first commercial when she was 11 months old. By the age of four, she was in USTV show One Life To Live, then at eight, joined another soap opera, Guiding Light.
She previously told how she struggled in the spotlight at such a young age. “I lost the chance to have a normal childhood, friends, relationships, and my privacy,” Hayden wrote in her autobiography, This Is Me, which was published this year.
Hayden gained wider recognition for her
role in the 2000 sports drama Remember The Titans alongside Denzel Washington, and as the voice of Dot in Pixar’s 1998 film A Bug’s Life.
But it was playing cheerleader Claire Bennet in the superhero drama Heroes
in 2006 that led to her profile soaring. She then went on to star as up-and-coming country singer Juliette Barnes for six seasons on hit series Nashville.
Her performances in the latter earned her two Golden Globe nominations for best supporting actress, while her singing on the show produced 11 entries on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
But the pressure began to take its toll, with the actress previously revealing that she had struggled with addiction throughout her 20s.
Hayden entered rehab in 2015 while filming Nashville, a year after her daughter was born.
“I was the one who put myself in the first treatment centre. I was drowning,” she said in a 2023 interview with Women’s Health.
The actress, who was engaged to Klitschko before separating in 2019 after nine years together, also opened up about giving up custody of her child.
She said in May: “The idea that anyone would think that I would just give away my child and be OK with it is heartbreaking and couldn’t be further from the truth.
“I was struggling with mental health and anxiety and the postpartum and having to act my way through it and just feeling like I completely lost myself.”
She also admitted to being offered “happy pills” as a youngster by a member of her team before she walked a red carpet.
Addiction
She said: “They were to make me peppy during interviews. I had no idea that this was not an appropriate thing, or what door that would open for me when it came to my addiction.”
She added to People magazine: “This hasn’t been easy and there were a lot of ups and downs. But I don’t regret even the ugliest things that have happened to me. I feel incredibly accomplished.”
Her younger brother Jansen who was also an actor, died of a heart condition in 2023, aged just 28.
In her memoir, Hayden described herself as an “optimist to the core” who refused to let herself be defined by tragedy.
She added: “Life is a process that evolves day by day, year by year and – like it or not – you are engaged in a cycle of growth until the moment you take your last breath.”

Dover is new Jungle as border chaos escalates
IT is horrifying and bewildering that the vile people-smuggling trade is now turning Dover into the new Calais Jungle as illegal migrants game the system.
The Daily Express has revealed how migrants are sleeping under bridges and in tents near the ferry port before being smuggled out of the UK across the Channel to other countries.
People-smugglers are exploiting weaker border-exit controls to sneak the migrants out of Britain and into France by hiding them in lorries to be transported to the Continent by ferry or train.
Many of the migrants, who face deportation to their home countries from the UK, are paying up to £1,000 for the journey.
They then have more opportunities to move freely across Europe to countries such as Spain, which has introduced an amnesty for illegal migrants in an attempt to boost the country's economy.
Those engaging in reverse migration out of Britain are only a fraction of the asylum seekers who are crossing the Channel to the UK in small boats.
But this growing trade will hugely damage the local community if it gets out of control.
Researchers from the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime warned that parts of the south-coast town were reminiscent of the infamous Calais Jungle a decade ago. It exposes another glaring loophole in Britain's borders, which is being seized upon by criminal gangs.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp is right to say that our borders are in chaos under Labour.
It's not just Britain – the rest of Europe must also get its house in order in tightening its borders, otherwise the problem will continue to get worse.
Branson's tunnel vision
EUROSTAR'S monopoly over the Channel Tunnel could finally be over.
The largely French-owned rail service has run operations through the tunnel since it opened in 1994.
But Richard Branson could soon be running up to 20 of his Virgin trains from the UK to the continent every day.
Regulators have granted approval to run services between St Pancras International in London and the tunnel entrance in Folkestone, Kent. Virgin now needs to win approval from Paris-based Getlink to use the tunnel itself.
It will ultimately mean services running between London and Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam by 2030.
This is great news for passengers as it will inevitably lead to more frequent trains, lower prices and better, more reliable, services.
Farewell to Bonnie
AN outpouring of love for Bonnie Tyler whose through as thousands shared tears, kcheers and songs to celebrate the iconic Welsh singer's life.
It was a fitting tribute to the hugely popular 1980s chart-topper, with the Prince of Wales describing her as a "proud Welsh icon".
Rest in peace.

It'll take more than saving pubs to bring hope to high streets
ANDY Burnham says he wants to breathe new life back into Britain's high streets. He is right to make it a priority. The obvious decline of
town centres across the country is sad to see. Pubs have closed, thousands of local shops have disappeared and too many high streets have become a depressing mix of empty units and businesses that add little to the communities around them.
The government is now promising action. Pubs are getting support, while councils are set to get greater powers to prevent the proliferation of businesses such as vape and betting shops.
All of this is welcome. But there is a glaring omission. What about the restaurants, cafes, takeaways and other independent hospitality businesses that local people want to see thriving on their high streets?
Labour has recognised the pressures facing pubs. But walk next door to an independent cafe or restaurant and the pressures on those businesses are exactly the same. Wages have risen. Food and energy remain expensive. Business rates are a burden. Margins are tight and then there is tax.
Most food bought from a supermarket is zero-rated for VAT. Eat a meal in a restaurant and it generally attracts VAT at 20%. Buy hot takeaway food, including fish and chips, and the same rate will usually apply.
The UK's 20% VAT rate on hospitality is among the highest in Europe. Restaurant food is taxed at around 10% in France, Spain and Italy, while Germany cut its rate on restaurant food to just 7% at the start of this year.
THIS raises a simple question: should eating out really be taxed as though it is a luxury? A meal in a local restaurant isn't necessarily an extravagance. Neither is meeting a friend for a coffee or picking up fish and chips for the family on a Friday night. These

are everyday activities. And the businesses providing them are often small, independent operations employing local people and putting money back into their communities.
At BusinessesForSale.com, we have a particularly interesting window into this part of the economy because we deal every day with people buying and selling businesses.
Right now, there are more than 1,200 pubs and close to 500 fish and chip shops for sale on our platform, alongside thousands of restaurants, cafes and other hospitality businesses.
That doesn't mean every owner selling is in difficulty – people sell for all sorts of reasons.
Through the owners, buyers and brokers who use our platform, we see just how difficult the economics of running these businesses have become. That matters far beyond hospitality.
If we want vibrant high streets, we need people prepared to take a risk on them. Someone has to be willing to invest their savings, take on a lease, employ staff and open the doors every morning. We should be making that proposition more attractive, not less. Our
'Pressures on independent cafes and restaurants are the same'
new Prime Minister has said he is in "listening mode" as he develops a ten-year plan to bring hope back to communities. If that listening exercise is serious, hospitality VAT needs to be part of the conversation.
Other costs need to be considered too: business rates, employment costs and whether we offer sufficient incentives to people prepared to put their own money into starting or buying independent businesses.
Popular interventions that generate headlines should not be mistaken for a genuine strategy aimed at breathing new life back into our high streets.
H
ELPING pubs is popular. Giving councils greater powers over
vape and betting shops sends a clear message about the kind of high streets we want.
But stopping unwanted businesses opening is only half the job. We also need to make it economically viable for the businesses we do want to open, to survive and grow.
A thriving high street needs pubs, certainly. But it also needs cafes where people meet, restaurants that bring people into town centres in the evening and takeaways serving communities.
Yet we continue to tax and regulate them in ways that make running them increasingly difficult. Britain talks about encouraging entrepreneurship and revitalising local economies. But that ambition has to extend to the people taking real financial risks to run ordinary businesses in our towns and cities.
The government is right to want to bring hope back to Britain's high streets. But it will take more than saving the pub and stopping the next vape shop from opening.
If we want thriving high streets, we need to stop making it so difficult for the businesses we want on them to survive.

Esther McVey
The voice of common sense
Turley's treating village like idiots
THE GOVERNMENT is currently pushing ahead with its plans to foist 1,250 male asylum seekers on the small rural village of Piddington and its 400 fearful residents.
Home Office Minister Anna Turley, below, said she would look into community issues - then completely overlooked residents' understandable concerns about the numbers and threat to their safety, as well as the Government's abuse of emergency powers.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham
has defended the wider initiative, stating that wealthy and middle-class postcodes must share the national responsibility of housing refugees, rather than leaving it solely to the poorest communities, even though it will be more expensive for taxpayers.
His intervention missed the point completely, of course. The public want these asylum seekers who arrive illegally to be detained and deported immediately, not comfortably housed across the nation.
Apprenticeships are just the job
TONY Blair's university boom is well and truly over.
Tuition fees are too high, graduation debt too burdensome and any graduate premium there used to be by having a degree no longer exists.
In fact the Institute for Fiscal Studies found that one in four graduates would be financially worse off after going to university.
Degree apprenticeships are the way forward. Better still might be simply just getting a job after school and working your way up from the bottom.
Labour leading us into farmergeddon
THIS government is presiding over the collapse of British farming: 79 years ago, in the shadow of the Second World War, the British Government passed the Agriculture Act of 1947 with a simple mission - never to let this island nation go hungry again. It enshrined food security as a pillar of national security. The Act was a direct response to the extreme vulnerabilities exposed during the war, when German U-boat blockades nearly starved the nation into submission.
Today, that pledge has been broken and the UK has fallen into its worst food security crisis in decades. Self sufficiency is at 60% by economic value, having fallen 5% in just the last two years. This means the UK is growing more dependent on international imports and can only feed itself for about 226 days of the year.
But that should come as no surprise to anyone. This government has done nothing but destroy farming since it came to power.
One of Labour's first acts in office was to introduce its Family Farm Tax. In one fell swoop it shattered long-term confidence in the sector; farmers stopped investing in their farms; and tractor and machinery sales plummeted to their lowest levels since the 1940s.
When added to Rachel Reeves' damaging hikes to Employers' NI contributions and the National Living Wage, along with Ed Miliband's nutty net zero and decarbonisation policies, the upshot has been the average farm has lost between 22% and 32% of its income over the last two years, leading to the closure of 6,390 agricultural businesses in 2025 alone - the highest annual number since the Office for National Statistics began compiling quarterly statistics in 2017.
It looks like 2026 will follow the same pattern.
For hard-pressed farmers, it has been one crisis on top of another. Terrible crops due to spring floods and this summer's drought has taken over £1.35billion from arable incomes in the last two years. But that's not all.
The price of tractor diesel has jumped 40% and fertiliser costs have surged due to ongoing incidents in the Strait of Hormuz. Given many have no savings, farmers have been left unable to cope.
Andy Burnham's announced £65million emergency drought package makes a good press release, but it is simply more smoke and mirrors.
This is not new money for farmers, it's recycled and redirected support which works out at just £650 per farm. It isn't going to touch the
sides for farmers on their knees, and I can only see grocery prices continuing to rise, despite the fact they've already jumped 30.1% since 2022.
The only thing keeping costs down just now are the price wars between supermarkets and food shrinkflation, but that can't last forever.
No nation can consider itself secure if it cannot feed its own people. We must once again treat our farmers as frontline defenders of national security, and back British farming before the tractor engines stop for good, and we become a permanent hostage to foreign countries.
Golden girl Amy's good look charm
I JUST love Amy Hunt - not just because she's become the first athlete in European Championships history to win four gold medals across a single competition - but because she looks so damn great all the time.
She is effortlessly perfect as she blasts across the finishing line. Perfect hair and make-up, dazzling smile and perfectly manicured nails to boots.
She is a public relations and marketing agency's dream.
THE proposed renationalisation of the railways will prove to be disastrous.
On day one, South Western Railway services turned up with fewer carriages than when in private ownership which sounds like we're already back to the bad old days of British Rail and standing up for the entire journey.
Avanti West Coast will revert in spring, and has already been told by Government to lose circa 30 services a week. I tried to get the 3.33pm from Euston to Wilmslow last week, but the service is no more - axed already.
It is very strange for the government to be cutting carriages and services, at a time when they love to tell us there are capacity issues.
In fact lack of capacity was one of the reasons given to pursue HS2, the £180bn white elephant, and is still an argument used by the PM to resurrect a version of HS2 across Cheshire to Manchester Airport. They speak with forked tongue.
WE'RE HEADING FOR ANOTHER HEATWAVE NEXT MONTH... BUT SOME TYKE IT HOT
I CAN'T be the only one who has been enjoying the hot weather. Last week I went away for a few days with my dad to a health spa near Crewe -
we could have been in the Mediterranean, sitting on the terrace sipping wine until 10pm. I hear the Met Office is saying we could be
gripped by a sixth heatwave next month. Bring it on. My hubby Phil's big holiday for me is a week in North Yorkshire, so I'm praying for more sun!

—Local Matters—
IF THERE'S a true wish in the hearts of parents, it's that their children have a better life than they've had. Of course, better doesn't always mean more money. Absolutely not. Healthy and happy – yes. But I think "better" also includes achieving their dreams and aspirations.
It's been said that my generation, millennials, will be the first who don't fare as well as their parents. Looking at my own situation – at least financially – I can believe that. But what's really scary is prospects look set to fall even further with the next generation. All the warning signs are there, with 743,000 young people aged 16 to 24 unemployed in the UK: an 11-year high.
The benefits crisis is fuelling a lot of this, handing young people a reasonably lucrative option for doing nothing. It's something the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham – who even as a Conservative councilor I have time for – has vowed to tackle. That's why I was quite astounded to hear the new plan for so-called Neets (not in education, employment or training), to identify them... from the age of four.
The idea originated with Alan Milburn, the former Labour health secretary, who is now tasked with turning around the UK's youth unemployment crisis. He said that "the warning signs are there from a very early, early age" before adding "primary schools should be identifying children who are at risk." The risk factors include poverty, poor mental health or being in care.
Well, honest to goodness, I don't think I've read a more depressing idea in some time.
Forgotten
When I'm whingeing about something, parents always seem to have a story to bring you down to earth with a bump. The Christmas my mum was almost "forgotten about" as one of 10 children, the time my father-in-law's new bike was sold to the pawn shop – and the fact he didn't know what an egg was until he was eight. They were loved, but grew up in pressed circumstances.
By today's metrics they'd have been singled out before they'd have even had a chance to know who they are, let alone what they want from life. Of course struggling children should be given every bit of help they need but that's a different thing from putting them on the future unemployment list.
Are we really going to tell children that they are at risk of never getting a job? God, talk about a low aspiration Britain. We need to be showing children from all backgrounds the greatness they can achieve, not putting them into a box saying what they can't.
I HAVE a recurring nightmare. I'm certain dream experts will tell you it means something worrying about my psyche, but I have it at least once a month. It includes rows upon rows of toilets that can't be used as they don't have a door, or there's no loo roll or they're just in a hideous state.
So it was with abject horror that I read about the new "squat loos" in Cambridge – that cost £1 a go no less. The picture of them is even worse. I have so many questions, none of them positive.
I don't know who had this bright idea, but apparently it's to appease foreign tourists to the area who prefer them over the usual kind.
My verdict is that if a hole in the ground is now what we're offering people, Britain really has gone down the toilet.
MY JOURNEY to golfing greatness continues.
Okay, perhaps not greatness... and more like not immediately being frogmarched off the course due to my inability to actually hit the ball.
After overcoming the weird rib injury (caused by overenthusiastic and, most probably, questionable efforts on the driving range) I managed to get my first ever par!
For the non-golfers this means getting the ball into the hole in the amount of shots you should be able to do it in.
Hole 10. Middlesbrough Golf Course. Woo hoo!
At that moment the PGA Tour beckoned. However, things seem to have gone south again.
It's all part of the charm... apparently.

Comedian Brendan O'Carroll
Brendan
bins festive specials to get surgery
BY PIERRA WILLIX
BRENDAN O'Carroll has announced the Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas and New Year specials have been cancelled as he needs an urgent operation.
The creator and star of the show, 70, wrote: "It is with sincere regret I must announce that due to an unexpected medical issue I will have to cancel the recordings of the 2026 Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas and New Year's Specials.
"Following a CT Scan, it was found that I had two fractures in my mandible (jaw) which requires immediate surgery and a few months recovery."
He also postponed the Mrs Brown's Boys D'Panto? shows in Dublin and Killarney, which were scheduled for later this year.
Heartbroken
The comedian added: "This decision has not been taken lightly and has been made on medical advice from my consultant.
"To say I am heartbroken is an absolute understatement. "I would like to sincerely apologise to all our fans who were looking forward to the shows and for any disappointment caused."
Brendan is trying to reschedule them for 2027. The star, who plays matriarch Agnes Brown in the hit BBC comedy said he had also been speaking with corporation bosses about getting his TV series "back on the screen" next year.
The BBC said: "We wish Brendan a full and speedy recovery and are working with him on plans for Mrs Brown's Boys in 2027."

Clues are there... classic
detectives who inspired Mark's cosy crime show
New series of Bookish this month
HOLMES is where the heart is for Sherlock star Mark Gatiss – but fans wanting clues on the inspiration for his detective drama Bookish must look far beyond 221b Baker Street.
Gatiss, 59, plays antiquarian bookshop owner and amateur detective Gabriel Book, who he describes as "a very much better-read man than I am".
But alongside Holmes and Agatha Christie staples Poirot and Miss Marple, he cites some more obscure crime fiction that suggests he is downplaying the breadth of his reading.
He said: "There's a brilliant, forgotten one called Max Carrados, who was a blind detective [in a series of mysteries by Ernest Bramah first published in 1914].
"There was a vogue in the golden age of murder mystery where everyone was looking to create a detective, and everyone had to have a thing.
"And there's a brilliant one by Cecil Day-Lewis, the Poet Laureate father of Daniel Day-
BY FRANCES MILLAR
Lewis, who used to write murder mysteries under the name Nicholas Blake. He wrote one called The Beast Must Die, which I think is one of the most amazing books. That's a real favourite of mine."
Gatiss first rose to fame in the BBC's surreal comedy-horror The League of Gentlemen, going on to write for Doctor Who and co-create Sherlock.
Investigations
Now he has turned his hand to cosy crime with Bookish, which is set in post-war 1940s London and follows Gabriel Book as he uses the vast collection in his antiquarian bookshop to help solve crimes.
Book is also gay at a time when homosexuality was illegal in Britain, forcing him to conceal his sexuality while pursuing his investigations. Gatiss, who wed actor and writer Ian Hallard in 2008, said that he
has always turned to books for answers, inspiration and comfort, just like his character.
He added: "There's always an answer to something, or it might lead to something.
"You read things for different reasons. I'm reading three things at the moment. I'm reading Middlemarch, which I've always meant to read and which is surprisingly funny. It's quite dense, but inside it, as it were, is a very modern book.
"I'm reading a book called What If Reform Wins? for fun, and I just finished an extraordinary book called City of Nets, a sort of cultural history of Hollywood in the 1940s."
He said the second series of Bookish will be more ambitious as it ventures beyond the familiar surroundings of Archangel Lane – including a storyline set in Germany.
He said: "It's more like the show I had in my head...I think it's really come together."
Bookish series two starts on U&Alibi on August 26.

Weight-loss pill set to shake up shopping habits as pounds drop
New tablet approved in UK
BOOMING demand for weight-loss pills is set to transform consumer habits as people alter their diets and lifestyles in tandem.
More than a third of Britons would consider taking the new tablets over jabs, research suggests.
It comes as Mounjaro-maker Eli Lilly's drug gained approval last week for use in the UK. This is set to spark a major shift in buying behaviour.
Some 34% of people would consider weight-loss medication in pill form rather than injections. This rose to 43% for Millennials and 42% for

Gen Z, according to a survey commissioned by audit, tax and consulting firm RSM UK. The poll also found higher earners more likely to try the new tablets, with 58% of those on a salary of more than £80,000 saying they would consider the tablet.
Jacqui Baker, RSM UK head of consumer markets, said: "The question for consumer-facing businesses will be what happens to people's baskets as they change what, when and how much they consume."

FUNERAL OF
Crowds of fans line streets
AS Bonnie Tyler's coffin was carried into Swansea Minster, fans applauded and shouted their fond farewells.
The singer was one of a kind and loved by millions worldwide, mourners at her funeral heard from the talent scout who discovered her.
The singer achieved international fame in the 1980s with Total Eclipse Of The Heart, which topped the charts in the UK and the US.
Bonnie's white coffin was carried in to a medley of her hits, including If I Sing You A Love Song and It's A Heartache.
The Holding Out For A Hero singer, whose real name was Gaynor Sullivan, was discovered by Roger Bell when she performed in a club in Swansea in 1974.
He spoke of her kind nature and the outpouring of tributes after her death at the age of 75 last month.
Roger said: "She was loved by millions worldwide. There was a warmth and sincerity about her that
BY NICOLA METHVEN
shone through, and she never said no to having a photo taken or giving an autograph to anyone."
Bonnie leaves behind her husband of 53 years Robert Sullivan.
Canon Justin Davies delivered a eulogy. He said: "A cute baby girl took her first breath on the 8th of June, 1951. A star was born to Elsie and Glyndwr Hopkins and the best was yet to come, they just didn't know it."
He recalled her first taste of performing, when she came runner-up in a singing competi-tion in Skewen Rugby Club.
Canon Davies said: "She came in second and won just one pound but was hooked. She sang Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkin and the rest as they say, was history."
Bonnie's death, in Portugal, came after she was placed in an induced coma following an emergency intestinal surgery.

Women athletes who are racing ahead
THEY are the new wonder women of British athletics, a golden generation who are capturing the nation's hearts after their history-making performances at the European Championships.

In the mixed 4x100m relay, which is a new event, Zharnel Hughes, 31, and Jeremiah Azu, 25, called it a privilege to join Hunt, 24, a Cambridge English graduate, as she grabbed her unprecedented fourth gold medal of the championship.
Asher-Smith, 30, became the most decorated athlete in the championship's 92-year history with her 11th medal, also in the mixed relay.
Matthew Hudson-Smith, 31, surpassed French sprinter Christophe Lemaitre, 36, as the most decorated man in championship history with his ninth medal overall.
Hunter Bell paid tribute to her teammates after the British women's 4x100m relay victory. Hunt handed the baton to Success Eduan, 21, who built a significant lead for Imani

Lansiquot, 28. Hunt joked: "I think we have won all the medals. Dina is the greatest of all time, Success is a midwife who delivers babies as well as doing this, while Imani has written a play. I am surrounded by all these amazing women."
Memory
Lansiquot added: "These girls are so phenomenal. They put me in the best possible position where I could just be free and enjoy it. That will be a memory for life."
Hunter Bell, who is the daughter of Channel 5 News political editor
Andy Bell and worked as an artificial intelligence analyst, ran what she thought was her final race in Texas in 2017 after falling out of love with the sport.
But in 2021, she started doing Parkrun, and three years later she was heading for the Paris Olympics with Team GB, after qualifying as the 1500m British champion at the age of 30.
She told the Mirror before the Paris Games, where she took home the bronze medal: "Parkrun got me back into running during Covid.
"I did the Bushy Park one in London and the Christmas Day
Parkrun in Tunbridge Wells. It is a really fun way to test yourself. I was second overall when I came back at the Parkrun, just one guy beat me. I got back in touch with my running coach [Trevor Painter] and started doing races again."
She began training with Hodgkinson, also under the guidance of Painter, and the pair became great friends off the track and huge rivals on it.
Hunter Bell, 32, won the 1500m world indoor gold in March, the Commonwealth Games 800m last month and is now the European 1500m champion. She has the
inaugural World Ultimate Championships next month where she will aim for her fourth gold of the year. Hunter Bell said she has a different perspective compared to other athletes after returning to the track late in life.
She said: "Every time I win a medal, it gets me even more excited. I was so inspired by the performances over the last week by my teammates. I was absolutely buzzing."
Hunt, who trains in Italy, paid tribute to her parents Claire and Peter, who bought her gold earrings for the championships, which
proved to be her lucky charm.
She said: "I am incredibly grateful to my parents for the love they have shown me. I always say, you only have one life, you have to make the most of it.
"If your life gets too narrow and running always comes first, it can become unhealthy. That is why I walk around my gorgeous place in Padua and do the things that you should do as a 24-year-old."
Off the track, Hodgkinson, also 24, celebrated a new collection with the sports brand Nike, when she attended the launch in her hometown of Manchester.

Mice work by crew tackling wildfire
Fire engine at scene of the blaze
BY ADAM DUTTON
THIS soot-covered field mouse finds itself in safe hands after being rescued from a raging wildfire.
Eagle-eyed firefighters spotted the tiny rodent scurrying in and out of smouldering undergrowth as it tried to escape the flames.
When they finally caught the creature it was given water before being released to join other mice the crew found nearby.
Thursday's blaze in Kings Sutton, Northants, is believed to have been caused by rays from the sun reflected from broken glass.
A fire service spokesperson said: "After being checked over, it's safe to say this mouse was grateful for a drink of some of our water before running off to rejoin his friends.
"Please follow our advice not to light any fires in the open during the current dry conditions.
"Fires spread easily, and the damage to property and our precious local wildlife can be devastating."

Ricky: I back assisted dying
Gervais calls for freedom to choose
RICKY Gervais said he backs legalising assisted dying and hit out at "ridiculous conspiracy theories" which he says are frightening people and stifling debate.
The Office star, 65, says he is "pro-choice" when it comes to the policy, adding that people should have the right to control their own fate.
He told Saga Magazine he was disappointed the bill had been blocked by the House of Lords, after opponents' claims "spooked" voters.
Gervais, right, said: "It's your life, you should be able to do what you want."
When it comes to his own death, the comedian added: "But it would take a lot to get me there.
"I'd want every last breath. It's
BY JESS PHILLIPS
only if every breath hurts." The one thing Gervais wants to do before he passes on is marry his partner of 40 years, Jane Fallon – but only to avoid inheritance tax.
He said: "That will be the reason I marry. We haven't done it yet. But if it wasn't for [the tax]...
Pottering
"How more married can you be? We share all our money, we've been living together for 40 years.
"Some marriages don't last a year.
"It's horrible, isn't it? I've got to get around to marrying, before I die..."
The star – whose animated comedy series Alley Cats hit the number one
spot on Netflix within hours of its release – says he has no intention of retiring, despite his growing aches and pains.
He told the publication: "My dad worked on a building site until he was 70. That's hard work. I just stand there talking.
"I still moan and wake up the next morning feeling like I've been run over.
"I know, I should be pottering around my garden shed, but I don't think I could sit around doing nothing. You work so you have a reason to sit on the couch and watch telly every night."
He also told US comic Jimmy Kimmel last year: "When I get up in the morning and I walk downstairs, it's like I've got false legs. They are like stiff pirate legs."
But the Brit reckons he can carry on with Alley Cats knowing age will not be a factor, saying he will "never run out of ideas" for his feline character Gus.

FOOLHARDY boys have been filmed leaping from a dangerous cliff where one person previously died and several others have been seriously injured.
Shocking footage shows the youngsters tombstoning into the water from Dead Man's Cove in Plymouth, Devon.
The 65ft cliff is where dad-of-three Vincent Wagstaff, 39, died after misjudging his leap in October 2016, while teenager Ben Thompson was left paralysed after his reckless jump six years earlier.
Eyewitness James Preston, 40, of Plymouth, said: "I have seen tombstoning at this location before, but this time seemed extra dangerous given it was not even high tide and the rocks below were clearly visible. We all cringed while the jumps were performed.
"This really shouldn't be allowed to happen. It wouldn't have taken much for there to have been an extremely serious injury. Thankfully this was not the case but it feels like it is simply a matter of time if this going to happen again."
The coastguard said previously: "Go to a proper diving thing if you want to dive off something into the water, but going off here is absolutely ridiculous."
Meanwhile in Kent, the popular Upper Harbour Arm in Folkestone will be shut this weekend to stop people tombstoning.

EXCLUSIVE
By Karen Rockett
HE had no bank account and no national insurance number yet, as his notorious nickname "The Milkman" suggested, he always delivered. In the 1990s, Britain's biggest cocaine trafficker Brian Brendan Wright lived a lavish lifestyle entirely funded by crime without any paper trail.
A regular fixture at Ascot races and Tramp nightclub in London thanks to his string of racehorses and celebrity friends, he was a top-ranking criminal hiding in plain sight.
Now, for the first time, the customs officers who spent 11 years hunting him down and bringing him to justice tell their story in a new six-part series of BBC Radio 5 Live's hit podcast Gangster.
Graham Honey, a gruff, plain-speaking Scotsman known as the "Honey Monster", was Gold Command on Operation Extend, the investigation into Wright's cocaine smuggling operation.
"It was a case of the Honey Monster chasing the Milkman," he smiles. "I got that nickname working in Barbados for the drugs team where everyone had nicknames."
Now 72 and long since retired from His Majesty's Customs and Excise, Graham tells the Daily Express: "I was really a small cog in the wheel to catch Brian Brendan Wright (or BBW as he calls him).
"Some of the team had spent years tracking him down and it was very important that we got him. You felt the weight of responsibility on you. After he absconded to North Cyprus and then moved to Spain I just wanted to get this man for everyone on the team who had worked so hard to find him.
"BBW was right at the top, one of the biggest cocaine criminals and catching him was vital in terms of stopping cocaine coming into Britain."
In the six-part series, presenter and investigative journalist Livvy Haydock explores how Wright's operation moved industrial quantities of cocaine from laboratories in Colombia, through smuggling routes in Venezuela's jungles, to bulk shipments across the Atlantic ending up in marinas in coastal towns across Britain.
And all the while he built a seemingly respectable life within horse racing circles as a cover for his champagne lifestyle.
Among Livvy's other interviewees for the series is Graham's colleague and close friend Barry Clarke, another former customs officer for Operation Extend who did much of the leg work.
He spent a decade tracing pay phones, breaking codes and building intelligence on a drugs network that rarely communicated directly.
Remarking on Wright, Barry says: "He was one of the smartest guys I've ever come across.
"He's got that street sense. He's a very bright, sharp individual. He understands life. And it was someone who was very careful in the way he operated. He had a strong reputation within UK criminality."
I
HE podcast takes listeners back to Wright's humble beginnings in Dublin where he was born in 1946 to a working-class family.
The family moved to Kilburn in North-West London to look for work and young Brian quickly realised that delivering goods to market traders and transporting bets from the pubs to the bookies was
'I don't know if he passed any exams but he was the brightest man I ever encountered'
The 11-year hunt to track down Britain's cocaine drug in
One of Darn's oldest profits and illicit cash
more fun and lucrative than being in school. Wright, who was eventually sent to borstal for two years for frequent truancy, never paid a single penny of tax in his life and when the law finally caught up with him, was said "not to exist" on paper. He was also believed to be illiterate.
"I don't know if he passed any exams but he was the brightest man I ever encountered," Barry says.
Kilburn was a rough, very Irish area in the 1960s when the young Brian learned his trade – a long way from Chelsea Harbour and the luxury apartment where he ended up living on the proceeds of his drugs empire.
Livvy says: "Wright spent
years being the man nobody could quite pin down. Gangsters always appear attractive to celebrities and vice versa and he became part of that world."
Operation Extend began when the Sea Mist, a fishing boat, was boarded by Irish customs officers in September 1996 in Cobb harbour, County Cork, and found to be carrying 1,323lb of cocaine hidden inside a dumb-waiter shaft, one of the largest drugs seizures in Irish history.
The drugs were destined for Wright, soon to be investigated by Scotland Yard and the Jockey Club over allegations of race-fixing.
As police dug deeper, linking more vessels and gang members to the illicit activity, they discovered a transatlantic ocean drug-smuggling operation originating in South America and the Caribbean and ending in Devon and Cornwall.
Decoy boats were operated to attract the
attention of, and bamboozle, customs officers to get as many drugs across continents as possible. Livvy says: "It all begins on this boat in Cobb one night and just spreads further and further out to the worlds of horse racing, betting, doping and the Colombian jungle – the story seemed to have everything.
"I really wanted to unpack not just The Milkman's personal background but the background of the times and how widespread and mainstream cocaine was in the UK during the Nineties and how in the world of horse racing jockeys use cocaine to keep their weight down."
The series also explores the human impact of the cocaine trade.
Clare Campbell speaks about the death of her brother, journalist Bill Frost, whose life was consumed by addiction, a stark reminder of the lives destroyed by the drugs being

shoot my brother, but when I saw him in the dock I did feel anger against someone to whom a death from cocaine is nothing and who makes his living out of other people's weakness and misery," she says.
As the investigation closed in on Wright, allegations of race-fixing and doping saw his Chelsea Harbour flat raided by police.
Rumours were going around that Wright wasn't just watching races, but shaping them.
It was later claimed by former jockey turned trainer Dermot Brown that he had doped 20 horses for BBW. A coterie of jockeys were in his pay and supplying him with information for the purposes of betting.
Meanwhile, the net was closing in on Wright's other business – cocaine.
A covert raid on an Essex lock-up uncovered £61million worth of cocaine hidden in holdalls and arrests reached from Colombian suppliers all the way to Wright's own son, Brian Junior.
Wright disappeared, fleeing abroad to become one of Britain's most wanted fugitives. He was eventually traced to the Costa del Sol thanks to painstaking phone tracing work by Barry and others, and arrested and extradited to the UK to face trial.
Graham Honey says of the case in the run-up to the trial: "It becomes all consuming. Nothing else matters, seven days a week.
"You want to be successful. You don't want to mess it up.
"BBW offered one of my colleagues at the court a bet, a million to one, he wasn't going to be convicted.
"My colleague, who still works in customs so I can't name him, said to me, 'I gave him a pound and now I'm going to get a million back'. Needless to say BBW didn't pay up."
The Milkman was found guilty of running an international cocaine smuggling empire on April 3, 2007, at Woolwich Crown Court. He was jailed for 30 years.
Comedian Jim Davidson, a friend of Wright's since the 1980s, who became godfather to his son, had been a character witness at his trial describing him as "kind and generous".
DAVIDSON even owned a stake in a racehorse with the notorious international drug smuggler and race-fixer. However, there's no suggestion that Davidson was aware of Wright's criminal activity.
Other friends of The Milkman included Charlie Wilson, one of the Great Train Robbers – the gang's treasurer – and the London gangster Roy Adkins, also a drug smuggler of primarily cannabis.
The Milkman would entertain them in private boxes at Ascot and Newmarket until both were shot dead in 1990.
But while his friends may have remained loyal, one by one the people who once moved his cocaine for him turned against him. In total, there were 20 criminals captured, including his son Brian Junior, son-in-law Paul Shannon and former jockey Barrie Wright.
From Colombian cartels to the streets of Britain, it was the end of the milk round.
Wright was released from prison in April 2020 having served half his sentence, and was approached to take part in the podcast. A spokesperson for Wright said: "Mr Wright appreciates the interest in his story but has chosen not to participate in the podcast. He wishes the producers of it well."
Livvy concludes: "It would have been fascinating to speak with The Milkman but he didn't want to. Last I heard he was in London still."
Graham adds: "Maybe if we had had more time we could have gone after the money, not just the powder."
The BBC Radio 5 Live podcast Gangster: The Story of the Milkman is available on BBC Sounds now
brought into Britain by The Milkman. Bill was a Dulwich College scholarship boy and Oxford University graduate, who joined the BBC and became a respected war correspondent.
But after he became friends with Kevin Hanley, The Milkman's right-hand man, he inadvertently got drawn into a world of violence and addiction.
Clare says: "It was terrible what happened to my brother.
"I cannot put it into words. He was always so handsome and talented, a really admirable and brilliant
journalist." In the series, Clare describes bumping into her brother in the street at the height of his addiction to cocaine.
"I didn't recognise him," she says. "He looked like a 6ft skeleton with his eyes on stalks. He was like a demon."
Twenty five years on from his death, Clare still misses her brother and laments that he was unable to be an uncle to her son Joe who was just four years old when Bill died.
She was at Wright's trial in 2007. "I know Brian Brendan Wright didn't take a gun out and

Killer still too
dangerous to free after over 40 years
ONE of Britain's longest-serving prisoners is still too dangerous to be freed, more than 45 years after two mothers were killed in the "Boarded Barn Murders".
Philip Jennings, now 71, has served nearly five decades in prison after admitting he was part of a gang that killed Ann Carryer and Elizabeth Blood, both 39, on November 5, 1979.
The victims were found in separate bedrooms at a mansion known as Boarded Barn Cottage.
Jennings admitted raping Ann before shooting her in the head. He was 26 when he was jailed and is now 16 years post-tariff.
Parole Board documents reveal experts are "unanimous in their opinion that [Jennings'] risk could not be managed in the community or in open conditions". It has emerged that he is taking medication for his mental stability and there was concern his risk in less secure conditions would increase.
Refusing an application to overturn a decision refusing his release, Patrick Thomas KC said: "Even in secure conditions, where there is significant monitoring, an earlier decline in his mental health had been overlooked and his behaviour had deteriorated, with the result that
BY DAN WARBURTON
there had been several instances of violence in 2025."
Mum-of-two Ann and Elizabeth, who had three children, had gone to the isolated Tudor mansion in Scholar Green, near Congleton in Cheshire, to empty the property after the death of Ann's mother.
Jennings, along with Stephen Anderson and Paul Hebel, had been told a wealthy person had bought the property. They planned to kidnap a family member and demand £50,000.
After finding the women at the house, the gang took them to separate bedrooms where they bound them to a bed and shot them in the head. The three men were eventually caught and admitted murder. They were jailed for 30 years in July 1980 at Chester crown court.
Jennings, of Elland, West Yorks, told police who arrested him: "Some people murder thousands. We are only talking about two women."
Hours after being sentenced, Anderson killed himself at Risley Remand Centre.
Hebel was released from prison after serving his 30-year minimum sentence.

Curse of the mummy boom
Egyptians forced to use space-saving measures
MUMMIES were buried on top of each other when space started to run out in ancient Egyptian tombs, research reveals.
And it also appears to confirm that people of high social standing were buried with their pets.
The in-depth analysis of part of the Theban Necropolis, comprising more than 400 tombs, shows how burial trends changed over hundreds of years.
Ritual
Researchers in Spain examined part of one of the tombs, opposite Luxor, more closely to reconstruct how the burial space was used and reused between its construction during the 25th dynasty (754-656 BC) and the Ptolemaic period (305-30 BC), when it was abandoned.
Lead study author Dr Jared Carballo-Perez, of the University of La Laguna in the Canary
BY STEPHEN BEECH
Islands, said: "We found 16 mummified human individuals, a mummified dog and a disturbed deposit containing the remains of at least four individuals.
"The detailed study of the bodies indicates neither chaotic accumulation nor a loss of the original ritual over time.
"Rather, there was a spatial logic in which each new deposition was adapted to the presence of previous bodies – a kind of funerary memory in the processes of reuse."
Senior author Professor Miguel Angel Molinero Polo, also from La Laguna University, said of the presence of a pet dog: "It could reflect a further change in ritual practice.
"An animal taking on the role of a psychopomp – a symbolic helper in the journey to the afterlife."

Canny whisky buyer
turns £130 into £270k
A PENSIONER is raising a glass to good fortune after a cask of whisky he bought for £130 was valued at £270,000.
Angus Kerr, 81, bought the keg of Glenrothes single malt as an investment in 1971.
He planned to buy one cask a year and let it mature before selling it to pay for his kids' school fees.
But just a few weeks after buying his first batch, the supplier went bust.
Angus feared his barrel - which holds enough whisky for 287 bottles - had

been lost forever until 18 months later, when he was billed by the Macallan distillery for its storage.
He held on to his investment and now the barrel - the oldest remaining Glenrothes cask - is
worth a small fortune.
Grandad-of-eight Angus, who lives in Surrey, said: "It was really nice to hear the value. It is one of my best investments."
The barrel, which has an ABV of 42.2%, is now being offered for sale by whisky broker Mark Littler, who branded it "truly exceptional".

Muddled recall puts brakes on driver
A children's charity worker was left without a car and is £1,000-plus out of pocket
A CAR owner had no inkling of the months of struggle and financial pain that lay ahead after he got a product recall for his vehicle.
Millions of customers and 34 brands have been affected by the Takata airbag explosion risk no drive order and children's charity worker Mark Clark is still counting the cost.
"It's been all so chaotic. I rely of my car for work and am now paying for taxis and am in debt," the owner of a Citroen, whose parent company is automotive manufacturer Stellantis, told Crusader when he first got in touch earlier this year asking for help.
At that point hurdles he had
already encountered he says included being first told to take his car for repair to a dealer in Devon while he lives in the Midlands. He was also warned his used vehicle, which he bought legitimately and had a legal MOT, had previously been involved in a crash so might not qualify for any fix.
Supported by Crusader, Mark resisted and his car was taken to a dealership for repair in Birmingham. "But I've asked about getting a courtesy car and heard nothing," he added.
In March a £2,124 reimbursement for up to February came through, but still without a car, Mark's extra costs continued. In spring his car was
returned. Stellantis responded to Crusader's inquiry saying its recall decision "underscores an unwavering commitment to customer safety. We agreed to support every customer who experienced disruption from this stop-drive recall. We identified customers with specific urgent needs and those who were vulnerable, working with them to provide support to suit their individual needs."
While he recognises safety action was essential and his battle is over, "I'm still over £1,000 out of pocket, better coordination and back up plans are needed to help customers" says Mark.
•Name has been changed
MOST car product recalls are dealt with swiftly and help is routinely offered to motorists such as courtesy cars and alternative mobility solutions, access to convenient authorised repairers and home repairs. However if these don't happen and communication is poor they remain merely a good intention and affected car owners face chaotic disruption.
Crusader found the dealership repairing Mark's car was part of The Motor Ombudsman (TMO, themotorombudsman.org), a trusted body which offers a dispute resolution service and ensures its members are reliable. However complaints about manufacturers' recalls lie outside its remit and there are no formal guidelines governing timeframes for the supply of parts. Courtesy cars, while desirable, are not a legal requirement. TMO urges effective and transparent communication.
If you want help with a problem or wish to applaud good service, we will do our best to help. We can't always promise a reply but please contact The Crusader, Daily Express, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 8AP. Email: crusader@express.co.uk.

Rain is one of the garden's greatest resources, so why let it go to waste? This collapsible rain barrel provides a simple way to collect and store rainwater, giving you a ready supply for watering plants and other outdoor jobs.
Position it beneath a downpipe and the mesh-filtered inlet helps keep out leaves and insects as it fills. A side tap connects easily to a hose, while the overflow outlet helps prevent overfilling during heavy rain.
Unlike a traditional rigid water butt, this collapsible design is easy to set
up when needed and folds flat for compact storage when the season is over. Helping you make the most of every rainfall, it provides a reliable supply of stored rainwater for everyday gardening.

Bonne Maman is best known for its classic strawberry jam, but the brand is heading in a much sunnier direction with its latest launch. The Pineapple and Passion Fruit Conserve, £3.99, combines juicy pineapple with tangy passion fruit for a sweet-but-sharp flavour that's guaranteed to brighten up breakfast. While it is delicious spread over hot buttered toast, you can also stir it through Greek yoghurt, dollop it over pancakes or use it to give a Victoria sponge or traybake a fun twist.

PAMPERED PETS
Our vet DAVID GRANT works his magic
Rat's lump is growing
O My female rat is 18 months old and I recently noticed a lump underneath her chest, which doesn't seem to be bothering her. Do lumps in rats stop growing, or even disappear? What do you advise?
A The short answer is that lumps that continue to grow are very unlikely to disappear. The most likely cause of a lump in this area of the body is a mammary tumour. Most commonly in rats, these are fibroadenomas, which are benign and therefore do not spread.
However, if left unattended, fibroadenomas can become very large. Because mammary tissue is more widely distributed in rats, all along the underneath of the body, tumours can cause problems with mobility in front and back legs if they are allowed to grow.
Although most tumours are benign, a large study of pet rats presented to vets in practice, has shown that malignant types are more prevalent than previously thought.
In a study of 100 pet rats, mammary fibroadenoma was the most common tumour at 53%, but 12% were malignant. When other rarer tumours were added the malignant total came to 25%.
Summarising all articles I have read, 75-90% of tumours are benign, with a good prognosis if treated early, and 10-25% are malignant with a less favourable outlook.
On average, rats live between 2-2.5 years, with many reaching 3 years or more. An investigation by your vet is therefore recommended to identify the type of tumour.
Successful surgery to remove a benign fibroadenoma could result in your rat living a normal lifespan.
'If left, they can grow very big'
O My 16-year-old female neutered tortoiseshell cat has several large knots of fur on her back and on her abdomen. Can these be teased out with special combs? I'm reluctant to involve the vet as she tends to misbehave there.
A Torties are feisty at times, especially at the vet's, but there is no easy way of fixing this problem yourself. Matting -up (felting), is very common in cats, particularly when older and long-haired.
The matted hair cannot usually be teased out with combs, something I always warn owners about, and clippers have to be used, often under sedation.
The result is, temporarily, a less than beautiful cat. Restoration of the cat's normal beautiful coat can take a few months in bad cases, with regular grooming several times a week essential.
A cat's own regular grooming usually maintains the sleek glossy coat we all admire, so in most felting cases something has happened to reduce or stop normal grooming.
This is another reason why trying to remove matting yourself will never solve the problem, apart from the risk of causing skin damage. The underlying causes need to be investigated by a vet and treated.
Any painful mouth or dental condition, which is very common in older cats, will inhibit grooming.
Obesity may make it difficult to get to some parts of the body and arthritis of the spine especially will also prevent grooming. Some greasy skin conditions lead to felting.
Involvement of the vet will be necessary, but sedation can make things easier for you, your cat and the vet.

GET AHEAD OF DAMP SEASON
Getting ahead of the damp season is easy with the Comfee Smart Dehumidifier. As windows stay shut and washing comes indoors, it clears up to 30 litres of moisture a day and keeps damp, condensation and stale air at bay across even the largest rooms. Set your ideal humidity from 35% to 85%, or let it sense the air and adjust on its own. The 3.2-litre tank means less frequent emptying, and a laundry setting dries washing indoors. It runs quietly, with phone, voice and timer control to suit your day.
Removes up to 30l of moisture a day Covers large rooms up to 73m2 Laundry mode for drying washing indoors Automatic humidity adjustment 3.21 tank for less emptying Phone and voice control

TODAY'S TV ONES TO WATCH
by MIKE WARD TV critic
Pick of the day
CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF, BBC1, 9PM
BACK AGAINST THE TIDE, BBC2, 7.30PM
If there's any justice in the world, whoever dreamed up this series (the concept comes from Canada) is now a multi-millionaire.
Set on a sandy beach in sun-kissed St Andrews, the whole thing is utterly pointless and yet joyous. Just the sort of TV we need right now. Well, up to a point.
"We've found seven newbies full of untapped creativity," explains host Iain Stirling, "and paired them with seven of the world's best professional sand sculptors. And, yes, that is an actual job."
The challenge is to build the best sand sculpture – before the incoming tide cruelly washes their efforts away.
POPMASTER TV, MOBE4, 9PM
"It's the nation's favourite music quiz!" declares Ken Bruce, getting this show's fifth series under way. "Is it heck, Ken!" cry Rochelle and Marvin Humes, hosts of BBC1's The Hit List, lobbing Hobnobs at their telly.
Me, I'm not getting involved; there's room for both. Plus, of course, Never Mind The Buzzcocks (admittedly you have to pay to watch that), and Pop Quiz with Radio 1 favourite Mike Read, although I hear that may have finished now.
Anyway, if you want to get at least one question right tonight and sound clever, keep shouting: "A-ha!"
Preferably not in your Alan Partridge voice.
GIORGIO HAS STARS SIMMERING NICELY
IF I were Joe Pasquale, I'd be miffed. At the start of this show, kicking off Celebrity MasterChef's 21st series, he's described as a "comedy favourite". We're also told he's "spent a lifetime entertaining audiences on stage and screen". But at no point – here's the thing – do they call him an icon. Shockingly disrespectful, right?
Mind you, nor are any of tonight's other four competitors granted that honour.
Emily Campbell, we're reminded, "won Team GB's first ever female weightlifting medal". But is Emily referred to here as an icon? She is not.
Jason Mohammad "presents huge sporting events around the world". Is that enough to earn him icon status? Doesn't appear so.
Shakira Khan "rose to fame on Love Island,
becoming a social media influencer working with global brands". But, sorry, no I-badge either for Shakira.
So, what about Jay McGuiness, "musician, actor, celebrated author". In 2015, Jay won Strictly. Surely that achievement alone earns him an icon tag? Apparently not.
But look, I can see what's happened here. It's a budgetary thing. The cost of icons has soared lately, so under new financial rules every BBC show is now limited to three.
On Celebrity MasterChef, you might think they'd spend that allowance on signing three celebs worthy of the "icon" label. Trouble is, this hasn't been an option.
As we're reminded tonight, the show already has its "iconic Celebrity MasterChef trophy" and "iconic kitchen". So that's two
icon tokens blown before we've even met Grace Dent's new co-host, Giorgio Locatelli.
When we do, he's introduced as a "world-class, award-winning chef, the definitive voice of modern Italian cuisine for over 30 years".
That, and (here it comes) "a global icon". Oh, yes, a global one, no less. Not one of those dreary parochial icons we're always hearing about. You won't see Locatelli on local telly. Still, I'm sure he's money well spent. If nothing else, he and Grace make a nicely scary pair.
Jay finds them particularly intimidating. "I wonder if he's more scared of you or me," Giorgio mutters.
"Oh, it'll be me, won't it..?" she replies. Yes, Grace, it will.
BEST MEDICAL
THE GREAT ADHD MY TRY CC, 8PM

JP Morgan chief's warning to Healey on bank tax raid
THE boss of JP Morgan has issued a bank tax warning to John Healey as the Chancellor gears up to deliver his first Budget in October.
Jamie Dimon, who has led Wall Street's biggest bank since 2006, held a call with Healey on Thursday where it is understood the bank chief emphasized "getting public policy right" as crucial to solving economic problems.
The conversation was at the request of the Chancellor's team, a person close to the conversation said, and comes ahead of several other industry peers also speaking with Healey in the coming week.
It comes as the financial services sector switches to defensive mode ahead of the booming Budget – set for October 28 – as campaigners and left-wing politicians lobby for higher taxes on the industry.
One activist group has suggested a £1/billion windfall tax could be raised from the coffers of NatWest, Lloyds, Barclays and HSBC alone.
As part of their conversation, Dimon told Healey higher taxes can drive jobs elsewhere and pointed to a decline in finance roles in New York, which he blamed on the tax burden, according to
BY SAMUEL NORMAN
the Financial Times. The Wall Street chief, who commands a pay package of $43m, was a key voice in lobbying against higher taxes ahead of last year's Budget.
A person close to last week's exchange
Wall Street boss Jamie Dimon
said taxes came up "in general" but "not specific" to the UK or with any link to the bank's plans for a massive new headquarters in London's Canary Wharf.
Dimon said in May the firm would pull the £3bn investment if the government became "hostile" to banks.
Some economists have warned Andy Burnham's government will have to raise up to £25bn in the next Budget
to meet hefty spending commitments made on defence and social care.
Burnham and Healey are yet to suggest a view towards a hike to the 3% banking surcharge – which sits on top of corporation tax – or a separate windfall tax.
A Treasury spokesperson said: "The Chancellor meets with senior representatives from sectors across the economy on a regular basis, including the financial services sector."
JP Morgan declined to comment.
GIANTS DEFIANT OVER ALDI BOSS BLAST
Unlike most of its rivals, Aldi does not offer a loyalty card scheme
TESCO and Sainsbury's have stood firm after the boss of Aldi hit out at loyalty card discounts.
Chief executive Giles Hurley spoke at the weekend backing government plans to clamp down on "misleading" offers.
He claimed the budget supermarket's rivals "give the impression they're getting a great deal, when the price they
pay at the till can still be higher than elsewhere".
But a source close to Tesco insisted Clubcard prices follow strict rules to ensure that they represent genuine savings compared to its rivals.
And Sainsbury's is understood to be similarly confident its Nectar card deals offer genuine value.

Kelso pressures The Works on 'absent' chairman
THE activist investor locked in a boardroom battle with The Works has accused its chairman of moving to New Zealand and only dialling in to meetings.
Kelso, a London-listed investment fund, is pushing to appoint a director to the arts and crafts retailer's board. But The Works said it would "undermine"
its growth. The activist investor has turned up the heat in this spat, questioning whether chairman Stephen Bellamy spends enough time in the UK.
Kelso told shareholders yesterday that "believes shareholders would benefit from greater clarity regarding his physical attendance and in-person
engagement with the business. Kelso asks how much time he spends in the UK with the business and how many of the company's seven plc board meetings during the last year the chair attended in person."
A recent Companies House filing lists Bellamy as a resident of New Zealand.

Big firms back AI creator Higgsfield
GOLDMAN Sachs and Intel have backed AI video maker Higgsfield in a £295million funding round that has more than quadrupled the company's valuation since January.
The fresh cash injection values the startup at £4bn, up from £960m just eight months ago, as investors pile into companies looking to turn generative AI into products businesses will actually pay for.
DST Global and Liberty Global also joined the round, alongside Tribe Capital, Smash Capital, Fifth Wall, Valor Capital, Mirae Asset Capital and NTT Docomo Ventures.
Higgsfield was founded in 2023 by former Snap executive Alex Mashrabov and AI researcher Yerzat Dulat. Its browser-based platform launched in 2025 and allows users to generate and edit videos without using traditional filming equipment.

ON THIS DAY
Nigel the only one who can lead us back to greatness
ITOTALLY agree with the Daily Express headline ("Farage: I speak up for the ignored", August 15).
Nigel is seen by many as the last hope for our once-great country.
He speaks for patriots who are fed up with wokery, worried about energy bills and shocked by mounting national debt. Above all, he speaks for everyone desperate for a leader to rescue Britain from the spiral of deterioration inflicted by successive governments.
Roger Hopkins,
Eastbourne, E Sussex
Elite have both Farage and Reform UK in their sights
ONE thing is certain: the major parties and the establishment have it in for Nigel Farage and Reform UK. He destroyed their easy EU gravy train, speaks the truth and offers real solutions.
At the last general election, Reform won more votes than the Lib Dems but received only a fraction of the seats.
Smears will not work in the real world and Labour's inability to solve issues without raising taxes will soon end their fragile bounce. Keep pushing, Nigel.
Barrie Warren,
Bury, Lancs
Binface protest vote made fools of Clacton electorate
THE woke media delighted in telling us that Nigel Farage was ridiculed by Count Binface in the Clacton by-election. However, I wonder who the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat supporters voted for in the absence of their candidates? They voted for Binface. What does that say about their intelligence?
David Marshall,
Helmdon, Northants
Democracy is out for the Count with comedy stunt
WHAT a national disgrace the Clacton by-election turned out to be with the ridiculous Count Binface. The entire event was acutely embarrassing and viewed all over Europe.
To make matters worse, the BBC spent ages interviewing him, making him sound like a downmarket cartoon character.
No wonder Nigel Farage stayed away. What serious politician wants to be seen standing next to an idiot with a bin on his head?
Patricia East,
Guildford, Surrey
About time Middle England pulled weight on illegals
SAM Lister is absolutely correct: the Prime Minister's desire to force every part of the country to take illegal migrants – even pretty countryside villages – will hopefully bring the "not so small boats" crisis to a head ("Migrant crisis has finally hit home in Middle England", August 15).
For too long, industrial towns have been the dumping ground for undocumented migrants. It is only right that people with power,
LETTER OF THE DAY
Billions spent on NHS every year yet cures still elusive
Britain is no longer at the cutting edge
SO NOW we hear potential improvements in dementia and cancer treatments are being blocked by the NHS ("Pioneering treatments within reach but hard truth is diagnosis delays are stalling progress", August 17).
Prior to 1948, Britain was in the forefront of medical advances such as antiseptics, anaesthesia, X-ray, vaccination and antibiotics, eliminating many diseases.
Since then, despite trillions spent on research, we seem no nearer to cures for cancer and diabetes.
Our NHS costs billions to run yet is more concerned with managing waiting lists than seeking cures – during Covid we were told to stay home and "save the NHS", not lives.
Roy Daniels,
Kingsclere, Hants
money and influence in upmarket hamlets take their share.
This concept is much fairer, but I am not holding my breath. Over to you, government.
Julie Foster,
Burnley, Lancs
They're not real refugees, they're economic migrants
WHAT a cheek for the Prime Minister to tell the British people that all areas of the country have to "play their part" to house illegal Channel migrants. He is making it appear that these people are refugees from war-torn countries.
Does he think we are stupid? They are not refugees. Legal refugees are pushed to the back of the queue. The only reason they come here is to take advantage of our benefit system that isn't available to them elsewhere.
Carole Gates,
Swansea
A life for a life that will free up room in our jails
I AGREE with Leo McKinstry's comments regarding capital punishment ("The death penalty would rebalance scales of justice", August 14). If someone takes a life and there is no doubt of their guilt, they should suffer the same fate.
Reintroducing the death penalty would also solve overcrowding in our prisons. It is soul-destroying for a victim's family to see perpetrators locked up to live their lives, only to be released early.
Brenda Clark,
Croydon, Gtr London
Numbers don't add up to keep murderers for years
I 100% AGREE with Leo McKinstry that the death penalty should apply when guilt is beyond doubt. Keeping a murderer in prison for life costs thousands of pounds a year and occupies a cell that could hold another criminal for the entirety of their sentence.
John James,
Princes Risborough, Bucks
Barbecues? What's wrong with picnics and sarnies?
I'M GLAD portable barbecues have been banned in certain areas. We have had too many wildfires in Dorset and Hampshire destroying wildlife habitats ("Disposable BBQ ban on cards to ease wildfire risk", August 13). I cannot see what compels people to light fires on days out. Years ago, we were perfectly happy with a sandwich.
Colin Humphries,
Ringwood, Hants
French wildfires mainly arson, not climate change
THE devastation from recent wildfires is awful. However, I do not recall any fires during the dry summer of 1976, which was simply called "weather" while experts predicted a new ice age.
Interestingly, the French have made 474 fire-related arrests this year, mostly for alleged arson. An analysis of fires between 2010 and 2024 showed lightning was the only natural cause; the rest were human-caused.
Despite this, politicians claim that we must focus solely on green energy transition.
Dr Peter Outen,
Brentwood, Essex
Stamp out foreign owners and nationalise Royal Mail
IF THIS Labour government wants to do something for the public, it should bring Royal Mail back into public ownership.
At present, the service is rubbish, postage prices are high, and delivery is poor. You cannot blame our postmen and women; it is the system itself. The foreign owners must be making millions out of us.
David Johnson,
Worthing, W Sussex
MOVE OVER HARRY, SIMON WESTON'S OUR INVICTUS GAMES MAN
I READ that Prince Harry is encouraging his father to join him at next year's Invictus Games in Birmingham ("Harry's Invictus game plan for reunion with King", August 3).
However the last Games were practically taken over by Meghan, who was seen everywhere, even
heading the veterans' march. May I suggest that Harry steps down and lets Simon Weston take over promoting the event?
He is a worthy veteran who served his country and was badly wounded in the Falklands War.
Julie Perkin, Bristol
38 years ago (1988)
We reported Pakistan's hardline ruler General Zia died in a mystery plane crash that wiped out most of his army's high command.
American ambassador Arnold Raphel and a US general were among the 37 people killed in the disaster, amid speculation that it might have been sabotage.
President Zia's Pakistan Air Force C-130 transport plane crashed soon after taking off from Bahawalpur.
86 years ago (1940)
The Luftwaffe began their attempt to destroy the RAF in what became known as The Hardest Day - the biggest air battle in history to date.
Both sides suffered heavy losses but the British shot down twice as many German planes as they lost.
More aircraft were destroyed on this day than any other, including Battle of Britain Day on September 15.
62 years ago (1964)
South Africa was banned from the Tokyo Olympics due to its racist apartheid policy.
The International Olympic Committee said the decision could be overturned if the South African government denounced racial segregation in sport.

OMBUDSMILEON
By Jon Lees
ALMAQAM will line up against the mighty pair Ombudsman and Commission River at York tomorrow after Ed Walker's prayers for rain were answered.
The Lambourn trainer's star is at his best on good or slower ground and his participation in the Juddmonte International appeared doubtful after the heatwave.
But 6mm of rain fell in York up to yesterday morning to leave the going good and another front of rain was due last night. According to track officials, a mixture of sunny spells and showers is predicted for the rest of the week.
"I think the ground is going to be suitable for us and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't run," said Walker, right, who declared Almaqam as one of nine runners for the big race.
"Whether it will maybe inconvenience the others enough remains to be seen because I'd love there to be more rain."
Almaqam, who will be ridden by Kieran Shoemark, burst to prominence last spring when he defeated Ombudsman in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at
Ed's star set
to tackle big two at York
Sandown. He finished behind Ombudsman in the Champion Stakes at the end of the year and first time out this year he secured his debut Group One success in the Tatterasik Gold Cup at the Corregib.
Last time out he was fourth at Royal Ascot behind Ombudsman in the Prince of Wales's Stakes when conditions were good to firm.
"Almaqam has been soundly beaten by Ombudsman at Ascot on a sound surface," said Walker.
"York is a different beast. Almaqam didn't perform that great there last year but Kieran didn't know the horse then and knows him very well now.
"I was a little bit offended by Almaqam's odds of 20-1 after the decs but I guess he doesn't know his price."

RECORD
Hunt's historic week was helped by the Birmingham crowds - and has her eye on 2029 repeat
BY JAMES TONEY
AMY HUNT makes no secret that she wants it all. Not content with four golds in six days, now she is targeting athletics coming home again.
Hunt will be in her sprinting prime if London is successful in their bid to host the World Championships in 2029.
The capital is locked in a four-way battle with Munich, Rome and Nairobi and will find out their fate when World Athletics hold their council meeting in Budapest next month.
London were hosts nine years ago, with 705,000 tickets sold making it the most successful edition of the championships - and teenager Hunt was in the crowd.
"I'd have been 15 and I got to watch Usain Bolt in his final, that was a huge inspiration for me," said Hunt.
"We know how big the love is for athletics in this country.
"London's Diamond League sells out weeks in advance and we've hosted two major championships in Glasgow and Birmingham in just a few weeks. It would mean so much
to the British athletes to experience that home crowd advantage again, it's made a huge difference to me this week."
There was initial criticism of empty seats at Birmingham's European Championships but the last four days sold out and the total attendance was 218,000, comfortably exceeding organisers' targets, while TV
"It would mean so much to the British athletes to experience that crowd advantage again"
audiences were also strong. And there was no doubting the biggest attraction, with Hunt now an odds-on favourite for the BBC Sports Personality
Award, edging world mile record-holder Josh Kerr down the market.
Like Kerr, who brought the public along with him in his journey to break the world mile record last
month, Hunt was fearless about highlighting her ambition to win four European gold medals. "Speaking confidently kind of draws peo-
ple in," said Hunt yesterday, after making European history.
"People are attracted to that kind of no facade, full confidence, full-throttle kind of way of speaking.
"In other sports, if you're going to a Wimbledon final, it's obviously quite clear you want to win, but I think sometimes [in athletics], there's a lot more jeopardy involved in what we do, and because there are a lot more people on the line running against us, sometimes people are a bit more afraid of voicing their ambitions.
"But I think life is short. Why not be ambitious? We're all thinking these things, so why not say them out loud?"
Despite Hunt's heroics, Britain were pipped by Italy at the top of the medal table in Birmingham, but nine golds was their best return since their best-ever haul of 12 at Zurich 2014.

BY PAUL MARTIN GEORGIA HUNTER BILL is embracing her status as the one to beat up this prepares to complete a golden year in Budapest.
The 32-year-old provided her latest tactical masterclass to win a maiden European 1500m gold on the final night of the European Championships in Birmingham, backing up her World Indoor and Commonwealth titles.
Like compatriots Josh Kerr and Amy Hunt, Hunter bill is not shy of stating her ambitions and came into 2026 targeting four major triumphs.
She now needs to next months inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championships in Hungary bidding to keep her hot streak going.
Hunter felt said: "Going into things as the favourite and delivering is hard.
"It's much harder than is it's probably. It means a lot to prove to yourself you can do it, as well as everyone else.
"I've been embracing the promises and thinking. 'Let's just go for it.' Everyone knows I want to win. I know I want to win. I'm going to put my coats out there now.
"I'm really inspired by what Josh Kerr has done this year and the way he has spoken about it. Amy Hunt as well, saying what she wants to do.
"I really love how everyone in British athletics is pushing the bat. We are in a fun era."
She could add intrigue to a field that includes Fanny Rodgeboren, Audrey Wairo and Fannie Broeders-Bill if she prioritizes the shorter distance.
She added: "I haven't done a paced 800m yet and I've got one coming up with all the speedy girls so I'm looking forward to throwing my hat in the ring there."

CRICKET: COX'S KEY CONTACT
BY DAVID CHARLESWORTH
NEW England No.3 Jordan Cox believes the time he spent with Virat Kohli in the Indian Premier League has helped prime him for Test cricket.
Cox missed the early part of the season at Essex to warm the bench at Royal Challengers Bangalore although he was able to get the counsel of team-mate and India star Kohli, 37.
It has been a challenging past couple of years for the 25-year-old who was on the verge of a Test debut in 2024 only for injury to strike, allowing Jacob Bethell to steal in and leapfrog him in the pecking order.
Cox belatedly made his Test bow in June against New Zealand at No.7 but Bethell's injury to his right knee has opened up a spot in the top order
against Pakistan at Headingley this week, starting tomorrow, March 7.
Cox said: 'I had that Test cap right there [in 2024], then I couldn't get it. It felt like that was the end, as bad as that sounds.
'I remember talking to Virat about it. He said, 'There are billions of people who don't even know who I am. The sun will come in the morning.'
'He's crazy on the field. When he comes off the field, he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet.
'It's about how I can be like that. How can I be really aggressive on the field, then when I come off everyone say, 'He's a great bloke'.
'I'll keep his advice in mind forever. He's someone that I'll text if I'm ever feeling down or need a bit of help. He's
always at the end of the phone.' Cox has been assured he will play at least the first two Tests against Pakistan at the start of the post-Bazball era for England, who trained yesterday in Leeds the day after the Hundred final. The three players who were involved in the Lord's showpiece – opener Ben
'I'll keep his advice in mind forever. He's someone that I'll text if I'm ever feeling down'
Duckett and fast bowlers Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson – arrived in Yorkshire yesterday without taking part in practice.
That contributed to England delaying the announcement of the XI,
which was customary under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, the former skipper and head coach respectively.
Seamer Ollie Robinson trained after his partner gave birth to their baby daughter last week.
Cox has spent the past few weeks at Welsh Fire, alongside new England skipper Joe Root, and enjoyed being able to become more acquainted with the Yorkshireman.
Cox added: 'I've got to know Joe on a different level. It's weird when you come into this England environment being in and out all the time to get to really know people.
'But to get to have three-and-a-half weeks with Joe to actually pick him off when we're batting together in the nets and actually talk about cricket
and life in general has been awesome.' Cox has only batted once at first drop, making scores of 22 and 20 against Nottinghamshire in the 2019 County Championship, dismissed both times by India great Ravichandran Ashwin.
However, he bats at No.4 for Essex, while he spent much of his formative career opening for Kent, and he is relishing the experience of trying to make his mark in the top three for England.
Asked what his first thought was when he was called up, Cox said: 'This will be fun!
'[National selector] Marcus North called me and said, 'Don't change the way you've been playing in county cricket. Go and embrace the challenge and have fun'. That's what I'm looking to do.'

BY PAUL GORST
VIRGIL VAN DIJK is impressed by his new defensive partners but says building an understanding will take time.
The Reds skipper lost his sidekick, Ibrahima Kenate, this summer when he signed for Real Madrid.
Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo both looked good at the back as Andoni Iraola's men signed off from pre-season with a 2-0 win over Italian side Como.
Jacquet was making his first appearance of the summer schedule since his £60million move from Rennes was confirmed on July 1 and he caught the eye with a commanding display that also saw him score the second goal after Cody Galpois opener.
Jacquet was replaced at the break by Araujo, who joined on loan from Barcelona last week, and the Uruguay international was combative alongside
Van Dijk. Van Dijk has now challenged both Jacquet and Araujo (circle, below) to continue their good form when the competitive action begins, starting with a trip to Newcastle on Sunday.
"Jeremy did well, same as Ronald," Van Dijk (right) said. "It's a good start so hopefully he can crack on.
"He came out of it a bit tired, but it's absolutely normal when you're playing your first 45 minutes after such a long time.
"Now it's down to him to recover.
"We'll be back on the pitch tomorrow morning and then we're working towards
Newcastle. St James' Park will always be a tough one.
"I've'll build a relationship by playing games. I won't say it's the only way, but games are totally different than training.
"Jeremy's English is, I would say, a bit better than Ronald's but at the end of the day we are all pretty good footballers.
"We can see and smell some moments on how to defend certain situations.
"But it's pretty clear that you need to form a connection together and that takes a bit of time. In my opinion that's absolutely
normal but hopefully we can get that going as quickly as possible. It was a good test against an opponent that is pretty good on the ball and have good passes, so you will be, at times, being played through.
"But it was a good day in terms of a lot of players, 90 minutes. Obviously, winning is always good and now we have a week to prepare for the real work.
"I'm excited. It's my 10th season and I'm feeling good and can't wait to get going.
"Everyone's eager to go and press and keep their intensity up but it's a team game and we need everyone together in order to be able to do that."

EAGLES WILL NOT SWOOP TOO SOON
NEW boss Pierre Sage says Crystal Palace will not resort to panic buying.
The Eagles have signed Dwight McNeil (left) from Everton, with Brennan Johnson going the other way, and have also added Anan Khalaili, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oscar Mingueza.
After losing centre-back Masence Lacroix to Chelsea
there are expected to be further incoming, but Sage (inset) insists the club will not make any rash purchases.
"Towards the end of the market, everybody is in a rush, everybody can find the solution to their problems and find opportunities," Sage told Sky Sports. "For me, it's not about
that, it's about the way you build your team, your squad, your roster and what kind of player you are looking for.
"Sometimes you have to wait until the last minute, because negotiations are hard.
"That's why we wait, but it's not a good thing to take a player at the last minute
because of panic buy. We're here to build a strong team with a lot of certainty, that's why the players have to be chosen in a good way and not with panic."
Republic of Ireland international Tayo Adaramola has left Palace to join Cercle Brugge on a permanent basis.
The 22-year-old left-back has signed a four-year contract.

PARA GUY Enciso starred at the World Cup in the US
Enciso is a Tractor Boys star
BY DARREN WELLS
IPSWICH boss Gary O'Neil has raided former club Strasbourg to complete a double swoop for Julio Enciso and Abdoul Ouattara on permanent transfers.
Ex-Brighton winger Enciso returns to Portman Road having spent half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Ipswich before joining Strasbourg the following summer.
The Paraguayan was a key player under O'Neil in France last season, scoring 12 goals and providing nine assists as Strasbourg reached the UEFA Conference League semi-finals.
The 22-year-old, who cost Strasbourg £17m, also played in every one of Paraguay's matches in the World Cup and scored against Germany in their last-32 upset.
"I am so happy to be back at Ipswich Town," Encisco said. "I really enjoyed my time on loan and I was so happy to see them win promotion back to the Premier League last season.
"I worked with the manager in France last season and the chance to play for him again at a great club like Ipswich is one I'm very excited for."
Head coach O'Neil said: "He is a young player who is capable of creating something out of nothing and has shown that throughout his career.
"We are delighted to have him with us."
Ivorian Ouattara (inset), 20, has also arrived from Strasbourg with both deals settled with undisclosed fees and five-year contracts, until 2031.
O'Neil, who replaced Kieran McKenna as Ipswich boss in June, said: "Abdoul is a talented young player who can play in different positions, so is a very good addition to our squad.
"We enjoyed working with him in France last season and are delighted to have the opportunity to do so again at Ipswich."
VERY AYE SKIPPER
Burn on his pride at being named the captain of his beloved Newcastle
BY SEAN MCCORMICK
By LEE RYDER
DAN BURN has revealed his pride at being named Newcastle's new captain - and revealed it is a moment he has dreamed about.
His journey from Asda to the Champions League and the World Cup is well documented.
But now it is his proudest achievement of them all after being funded the armband by new Toon manager Matthias Jaissle.
"I am! Very proud to be named club captain," said Burn, 34. "It's something that - some things you can't really dream of when you're a kid - but for me that was a dream from very early on to be captain of Newcastle, so very grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to leading the lads this season.
"He pulled me and Joey (Joelinton, who has just been appointed vice-captain) in on Thursday morning and just asked first what we would bring to the role and then asked if I'd want to be captain, and obviously I was never going to say no to that.
"I'm very happy that he chose me to do that, obviously I understand what the fans want, and being local, what the fans expect, so as I said, we've got a young team and hopefully I can show the lads what's expected of them as a Newcastle player." It spoke volumes
that Jaissle picked Burn as Bruno Guimaraes' successor as skipper without seeing him play for Newcastle.
In a team full of youngsters, Burn was the experienced head in Newcastle's penalty shootout defeat to Strasbourg on Sunday after a 1-1 draw.
Burking instructions when needed but also leading by example on the ball and throwing himself into two huge clearing headers to alleviate the danger on his team's goal.
Jaissle had 35-year-old Andreas Ulmer as captain in a young team during his time in charge at RB Salzburg.
Burn said: "I've been around for a long time and played a lot of games, so I feel like I've probably just got that confidence built into me now, knowing that I can do it at this level.
"Obviously I had a great summer (with England, below), loved every minute of it, disappointed with the way that it ended, but I think it was important for me to have a few weeks where I could just have a men-
tal recharge. Physically I felt good, but I wanted to be excited to come back and push on this season."
Newcastle open their season at home to Liverpool on Sunday and Burn has revealed Eddie Howe's mood was low after the final day defeat to Fulham last season - but admits he never expected him to quit his job as Toon boss.
It came at the end of last month after the 4-1 defeat against Bristol City.
At that time, Burn was still recovering from the World Cup on an extended holiday and woke up to the news in Canada with Newcastle rocked by Howe's departure.
Burn said: "I knew he was disappointed after the Fulham game, but I thought after the summer he was going to be ready to come back, so I spoke to him regularly in the off-season.
"I was in Canada when I found out, I just had a few texts when I woke up. Listen, I think there's always time for change, and Eddie obviously thought that it was time for him to step away."
FRANK TAI'S DOWN STRIKER AWONIYI
COVENTRY have signed striker Talwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest for Chronicle.
The 29-year-old (left) scored 23 times in 103 appearances across all competitions for Forest after joining in 2022.
"But the Miami International was limited to just three starts in the league last season and will be looking for more game time at
the Coventry Building Society Arena, under manager Frank Lamperti.
"I am very excited about this season, and I can't wait to get started," he said.
"I'm really looking forward to working with my new team-mates.
"I have seen how amazing they
have been last season, coming up from the Championship. They were hereabouts."
Awoniyi (left) was given a guard of honour in Forrest's 2-0 friendly win over Brest at the City Council in Sunday.
And he was thrown in the air by his team-mates (far left) during the half-time break.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis paid tribute to the player.
"Talwo will always have a special place in the history of Nottingham Forest," he said.
"He has been one of the defining figures in the journey and given our supporters moments of great joy that will never be forgotten."
FOOTBALL: PREMIER LEAGUE COUNTDOWN

BY TOM CANTON
MARTIN ODEGAARD has hailed "fighter" Bruno Guimaraes as Arsenal target multiple trophies following their Community Shield triumph.
The Gunners beat Manchester City 3-0 in Cardiff, with club captain Odegaard completing the scoring early in the second half.
For the first time since Guimaraes' summer arrival, the pair started together in midfield and looked like the partnership had already gelled seamlessly.
"It was really good" said Odegaard. "Since the first day he came in, it has been such a natural thing.
"Although we had some big fights with him in the past, he has just come in as a real natural part of the team, and you can see his quality.
"He can win the ball, he's a fighter, but he also has so much quality on the ball. He is so calm on the ball.
"He always takes the right amount of time, and he finds the pass. It's brilliant. Christos [Tzolis], as well, it is good to have new players perform like that already."
One of the criticisms Odegaard has faced in the past two seasons relates to how deep he can often drop, vacating his advanced midfield position to take responsibility for progressing the ball from his own half.
The arrival of the former Newcastle captain has appeared to have already solved this issue, and Odegaard believes there is already an understanding between them. "The connection is
already there – and you can see that," said Odegaard.
"He is a top player. From the first second he was in training, you
could feel that presence and quality. It has been really easy to connect with him. He is a brilliant player. I am looking forward to it." Arse-
nal might have won the Premier League, but it did not come without scrutiny and their approach was often highlighted as a point of contention.
Odegaard's absence because of four separate injuries last season was no doubt a contributing factor, but the skipper believes that the club's style will be fluid and change, depending on the challenge.
"It depends on the games, the opponents," he said when asked if Arsenal will be more direct this season. "We can play in so many different ways.
"We can score in different ways. That is one of our strengths – that we are versatile.
"We can adapt and create problems for other teams in many different ways, and also defend. We are looking forward to getting going now and having a good season."
The focus, however, is on winning yet more silverware, having got a taste for metal over the last few months.
Putting three past Manchester City in the Community Shield might not garner praise from the club's toughest critics, but it is by no means something to dismiss.
Odegaard said that the team wanted to demonstrate their quality and that they yearn for more medals this season.
"We wanted to show our level," he said. "Of course, last year we won the league. But this year we want more.
"There is a lot more to play for. We want to do it again in the league, and then there are the other trophies. There is still a lot of room for improvement."
CONNECTION: Pocognoli believes he's a good fit.
A passion project for Seb's Scots
BY GAVIN McCAFFERTY NEW Scotland head coach television Pocognoli declared the passion of Scottish football an ideal fit for his philosophy.
The former Belgium defender has been treated with kicking on Steve Clarke's record of qualifying for three major tournaments.
Clarke stepped down after the World Cup, having failed to inspire fans for the bulk of these tournament experiences but Pocognoli stressed he would respect the "heritage" of his predecessor.
But the 39-year-old, who led Union Saint-Gilloise to their first Belgian title in 90 years, also wants to recruit his personality on the team.
The former West Brom and Brighton left-back said: "I never go through a challenge where I can't feel the connection. Scotland is a passionate country for football, I'm passionate.
"When I had the first contact, it's not like you pick up the phone and you think, 'Hmmm'. I was straight away curious and interested, because I always feel something special to the passion of Scottish football.
"It's a big part of my decision, because it can make a good fit with what I want to produce on the pitch and what the supporters want."
Pocognoli avoided making your claims about changing the style of play but he feels his approach can connect with fans.
"I want to keep a strong foundation that was built in the past," he said. "When you think about Scotland, it's passionate players who fight together.
"What I will try to do, and we have the capacity to do this, is to maybe switch from the front, to a little bit more aggressive going forward."

Missing star prompts
Kyle-Pep meltdown
shown in Prime series
BY TOM VICTOR
PEP GUARDIOLA was left fighting back the tears just weeks after losing Rodri to injury - so what hope does Enzo Maresca have now the superstar has left for good?
Manchester City fans fearing what the future has in store for them without the world's best midfielder are about to be served up a stark reminder of how bad it can get.
A new documentary charting the final two seasons of Guardiola's reign shows the former City boss suffer a huge dressing room meltdown during a row with Kyle Walker.
The clash came following a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield - just weeks after Rodri suffered an ACL injury.
Up to that point, City with the talismanic Spaniard on the pitch were unbeaten in 52 Premier League games.
The Anfield defeat was a fourth league loss in a row - a sixth in seven games in all competitions - and the strain was starting to show.
Exclusive footage filmed inside the City dressing room shows Walker angrily tearing into his boss, fuming that he was being singled out for blame.
He said: "You keep saying my name, every meeting. Every f***ing meeting it's my name."
When Guardiola suggested Walker's name came up a lot because he's a captain, the England international claimed "you didn't want me to be a captain".
The right-back continued: "I've reacted to someone else, I've lost the ball, you somehow bring my name into it."
The row between the pair features in a new four-part Prime Video documentary 'A Beautiful Obsession',
which provides behind-the-scenes footage from Guardiola's final two seasons as City manager. And, in response to Walker's broadside, the
You keep saying my name, every meeting. Every f***ing meeting it's my name.
Catalan coach struggled to hold it together while delivering an impassioned speech to his players.
"If I am a problem, you have to tell me," said Guardiola. "I won't stay here for the money or just for the fact of staying.
"I extended the contract because I want to be with you, I want to fight in that position. I don't want you to feel
like I'm leaving and running away from you.
"I don't want to have the feeling that the pieces fall down. And I feel, 'No, I want to help you.'
"But if you feel, captains first and then the other ones, that there is a problem? Tell me.
"It's not going to change the love I have for all of you. Not one second. But I want to fight. That's all. I'm sorry."
City went on to lose six of their first 12 games without Rodri that season and would finish third with 71 points - the lowest points return of Guardiola's success-drenched 10 years at the Etihad.

BOUADDI SET FOR £85M DEAL
FROM BACK PAGE
deal with City. The 18-year-old has emerged as one of the most talented and exciting teenagers in world football.
City chiefs kept close tabs on his progress at this summer's World Cup, once it became clear Rodri would be leaving.
Bouaddi impressed at the tournament, starting five of
Morocco's six matches in their run to the last eight.
City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak has been impressed with how the youngster has been able to step up on the big occasions.
New boss Enzo Maresca regards Bouaddi as the ideal, long-term replacement for Bernardo Silva, who left at the end of last season to join Real
Madrid. Bouaddi has made 88 appearances for Lille since making his debut in October 2023, three days after turning 16, and helped them finish third in Ligue 1 last season.
City are still keen to sign a direct replacement for holding midfielder Rodri, but talks with Chelsea about a deal for Argentina star Enzo Fernandez have stalled.
THE EX FACTOR
Pep's reliance on their (both above) reflected in results without him. Enzo Maresca has lost him too.

CHEEKY CHERKI'S WORTH THE RISK
BY TOM VICTOR
PEP GUARDIOLA ignored
Rayan Cherki's red flags to force through his final statement signing.
Cherki's "chaotic" reputation left Manchester City chiefs torn on whether he was the right man to replace Kevin De Bruyne.
Director of football Hugo Viana admitted the star's off-field reputation set alarm bells ringing.
But the playmaker bonded with
Guardiola when the manager called him from his Manchester restaurant.
And the France international hit the ground running after earning the trust of the man he called the "best coach in the world".
Cherki starred for his country against Spain in the Nations League just days before signing for City.
Guardiola joked that City CEO Ferran Soriano was grumpy because the Lyon-born star added £10m to his price tag with the performance.
But he insisted on the deal and Cherki (pictured with Guardiola) joined for £34m in June 2025.
During the Prime Video documentary 'A Beautiful Obsession', which looks at Guardiola's final two seasons at City,
Cherki's name came up as a potential replacement for De Bruyne when the Belgian left the Etihad.
There were reservations over his mentality but Guardiola was extremely eager to welcome him into the fold.
"The information on Cherki was not so positive," said Viana.
Soriano added: "Everybody knew about his abilities but there was this idea that he was chaotic."
However, the CEO later told chairman Khaldoon
Al-Mubarak that checks from Viana and former sporting director Tsiki
Begiristain changed the club's outlook. Soriano said: "There
was one who gave a bad report but [from] when he was very young so they're getting convinced that maybe his behaviour is just a myth."
Cherki made an instant impact, scoring in the Club World Cup and adding a goal on his Premier League debut for City at Wolves.
He finished his first season in English football with 10 goals, 15 assists and two trophies - the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Cherki was one of the final signings of the Guardiola era, with the manager leaving at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
KEY ENDS IN TEARS
BY TOM VICTOR
KEVIN DE BRUYNE fought back tears when he came to terms with leaving Manchester City.
The Belgian midfielder (below) won six Premier League titles with the club and was a key part of their Treble-winning squad in 2022-23.
But his time at the Etihad Stadium came to an abrupt end after manager Pep Guardiola and City chiefs told him he would not be offered a contract extension.
"It's really hard," De Bruyne said in Guardiola's new documentary 'A Beautiful Obsession'. "My kids don't want to go.
"It's been really stressful days and I'm not making decisions any more based on myself.
"It's easy to go to another team and play football. But it's been a tough time for us as a family."
De Bruyne joined City from Wolfsburg in August 2015, playing one season under Manuel Pellegrini and nine under Guardiola.
He is second on the all-time list of Premier League assist-makers and played a massive part as City won an unprecedented four
league titles in a row under Guardiola. City's manager left 12 months later after adding two more trophies, the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in 2026.
De Bruyne's departure to Napoli came as part of a plan to move towards younger players who can deliver for years to come.
"We are going from a winning team that have been unbelievable [and] we have to create a new one," said City's then director of football Tsiki Begiristain.
"The [players] that made us the winners of everything, now they have to leave and we have to bring new people, new legs, new energy. Because if not, we won't win."
City have since spent money on younger talents including Rayan Cherki, who was 21 when he joined as De Bruyne's successor. Begiristain also made way for a
younger sporting
director after 13 years, with Hugo Viana taking over.
And, in the first summer without Guardiola, the club broke their transfer record to sign England midfielder Elliot
Anderson, 23, from Nottingham Forest for £116 million.
UNITED STAR NOT FER SALE
MANCHESTER UNITED will bat away all bids for Bruno Fernandes in the final two weeks of the transfer window.
Galatasaray want to lure Fernandes to Turkey - where a favourable tax rate is on offer for top players - but United are not prepared to consider offers for their captain.
Club sources have gone as far as to say that the midfielder is not available for any price this summer.
Fernandes won a fifth Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award (above) for his performances last season, and broke the Premier League assist record on the final day of a superb individual campaign.
He rejected an approach from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal in favour of staying at United last year. But in December he suggested the Red Devils wanted him to join Al-Hilal.
The Portugal star previously said in October that the club had echoed former boss Ruben Amorim's desire for him to stay. Sources were also adamant that Fernandes had been informed that he was key to the club's future plans.
A few months ago, Fernandes discussed how "special" it would be to lead United to glory again after over a decade's wait for the title, and he is understood to be settled in England.
Chelsea set for a shake-up
FROM BACK PAGE
increasingly taken a backwards step with Eghbali (top) holding the cards.
Boehly owns 12.8 percent - the same as Walter and Hansjong Wyss - from their consortium which joined Clearlake in the takeover from Russian oligarch Abramovich in a £4.25 billion deal in May 2022.
While Boehly and Walter are both considering their position, no deal has been agreed, though any bid could see Chelsea valued north of £5bn.
Walter last week sold NBA franchise, the Los Angeles Lakers, for a record-breaking deal understood to be worth around £9bn.
Boehly, Walter and Clearlake have all declined to comment.
The prospect of Clearlake taking total control of the club will not please all supporters. Earlier this year, a fan group called 'Not A Project FC' organised multiple protests against the club's ownership in retaliation to how they were operating Chelsea.
Undeniably, the most successful fan movement came in the build-up to the Blues' defeat by Manchester United in April, when supporters lined the streets outside of Stamford Bridge to express their discontent.
Clearlake's appointment of Xabi Alonso as boss has been a widely popular decision among the fanbase, while the ownership group have also given the Spaniard more power and a say in the club's transfer business.

CHELSEA co-owners Todd Boehly and Mark Walter are open to selling their stakes in the club and handing Clearlake Capital all of the power.
Both executives

Despite Boehly being the leading face of the regime, Clearlake have always held a 61.5 percent controlling stake with their investment handled by co-owners Benidad Eghbali and Jose E Feliciano.

LOGIC
Can you work out the price of each laptop model?
Chris had always been a technophobe, but with his daughter's birthday just around the corner he decided to brave a visit to his local Laptop Land store to buy her a present. Sensibly, he decided to question the shop assistant about the different models of laptop available to ensure he was getting the best deal.
"If you're looking for a high-performance laptop then our most expensive
model, the Portable Pro, has the largest memory," said the assistant.
"That might be slightly out of my price range. Is it correct that the model with a 14-inch screen has exactly half the memory capacity of the PalmTop?" asked Chris.
"Yes, that's right. If you're looking for good value then the 12-inch WebSurf Beta and the laptop with 2GB of memory both
cost under £200," added the assistant.
"I think my daughter might need a model with more memory than that. From what I understand, the model that costs £395 has a screen size that is exactly two inches smaller than the TechBook."
"That's right. Due to a mid-season sale, the 12GB laptop is currently less than half the price of the 15-inch model.
The price of the WebSurf Alpha was recently cut and it now costs less than the laptop with a 17-inch screen," said the assistant.
It took Chris a few minutes to grapple with the different specifications of each laptop. Eventually, he managed to link each laptop to its screen size and memory capacity - can you do the same?

NONAGRAM
THE ONE TO CATCH
Each column and row has a series of numbers next to it. These refer to the number of adjacent squares that should be filled in. If more than one number appears, that line will contain more than one block to be filled in. The solid blocks must appear in the order that the numbers are printed. For example, a row that contains the numbers 7,5 would contain, somewhere, a block of seven adjacent filled-in squares, then a gap of one or more empty squares and then a block of five adjacent filled-in squares. When complete, the grid will reveal a picture.

制度与权力批判深度研判：Daily Express (18.08.2026)
▌ 本日全报思想与文化深思雷达 (Intellectual & Cultural Significance Radar)
在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有国际政治、经济、社会与文化报道后，以下 2 个具体事件在思想史、文化政治与制度伦理层面最值得学者进一步深思：
-
【英国沦为欧洲移民中转枢纽的担忧】
[F1_1 🔍]-[F1_6 🔍]`- 事件简述：英国被走私者利用为欧洲大陆移民的中转枢纽，多佛轮渡港附近出现难民营雏形。持访客或学生签证抵达英国的移民"数日内"便与走私者取得联系，意图前往其他欧洲国家。
- 思想文化深思切入点：触动了主权边界控制能力与全球化流动之间的张力——英国作为主权实体如何在移民流动中丧失对边界的有效管控？
-
【英格兰东北部权力下放计划中的官僚机构与就业创造矛盾】
[F4_48 🔍]-[F4_55 🔍]`- 事件简述：达勒姆、盖茨黑德和桑德兰三市议会联合呼吁首相安迪·伯纳姆减税并简化规划审批，确保权力下放惠及民众而非官僚机构。亚当·斯密研究所智库则建议设立"企业特区"发展国防工业。
- 思想文化深思切入点：聚焦新自由主义治理术与地方自治的辩证张力——权力下放是否沦为资本逻辑的工具？
▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)
专题一： 《主权边界的虚构性：英国沦为移民中转枢纽的制度困境》
1. 现实困境深描（The Concrete Dilemma）
英国作为一个主权国家，其边境控制在全球化与移民流动的双重压力下显得异常脆弱。[F1_1 🔍]-[F1_6 🔍] 揭示的现实是：多佛港口周边出现的难民营雏形，不仅是物理空间的临时栖息地，更是主权边界话语与现实治理能力严重脱节的象征。走私者与移民形成的网络，通过"蛇头-签证-边境漏洞"的链条，将英国边境转化为全球非正规经济的中转站。这一困境暴露了霍布斯式主权神话的瓦解：主权国家宣称对领土与人民的绝对控制，但在技术化的全球治理网络面前，其"铁壁铜墙"不过是纸糊的幻象。
2. 博弈机制与话语策略剖析（Mechanisms & Discourse）
《每日快报》在头版以视觉冲击力极强的标题与图像（[F1_1 🔍]-[F1_3 🔍]）构建了"英国沦为移民中转枢纽"的叙事框架。这种话语策略通过将英国边境危机与欧洲其他国家进行类比，制造了一种紧急状态的想象：英国正在沦为"欧洲的垃圾场"。然而，这种叙事背后隐藏着治理逻辑的转移： - 边境管控的失效：英国的签证制度在实践中成为走私网络的便利通道（[F1_5 🔍]）。移民持访客或学生签证抵达英国后数日内即与蛇头联系，表明英国的边境管控在实际效果上远逊于宣称的严格性。 - 主权话语的虚构性：英国政府在官方话语中仍坚持"主权边界"的神话，但在实践中却沦为全球资本与人口流动的被动接受者。这种话语与实践的分裂，正是当代主权危机的典型表现。
3. 历史思想资源的平等对话（Theoretical Resonance）
福柯的生物政治理论为理解这一困境提供了锐利的思想工具。福柯在《必须保卫社会》中指出，现代国家通过对生命的管理（如人口统计、边境管控）实现对社会的统治。然而，当边境管控沦为犯罪网络的游戏场时，福柯所谓的"安全装置"实际上已经失去了其原初的功能，沦为权力展示的装饰品。
另一方面，阿伦特在《极权主义的起源》中对难民与无国籍者的分析，为理解英国边境危机提供了历史视角。阿伦特指出，难民问题不是单纯的移民问题，而是现代主权体系瓦解的征兆。当一个国家无法为其公民提供保护，也无法有效管理边境时，其合法性便面临根本性挑战。英国今日的困境，正是阿伦特所预言的主权危机的当代表现。
4. 当代现实对理论的反向质询与新洞见（Contemporary Synthesis）
当代全球治理的一个关键悖论在于：主权国家在形式上仍是国际体系的基本单位，但在实践中却日益沦为全球资本与人口流动的被动接受者。英国边境危机揭示了这一悖论的尖锐化： - 技术理性的工具化：当代边境管控越来越依赖于算法与大数据（如生物识别技术、风险评估模型），但这些技术在实践中却被犯罪网络所绕过。这表明，技术理性的工具化并未增强国家的治理能力，反而制造了新的漏洞。 - 混合战争的边界模糊：英国边境危机不仅是移民问题，更是全球治理秩序重构的一个缩影。走私网络与恐怖主义、网络犯罪等跨国犯罪组织相互勾连，使得边境管控沦为混合战争的前沿阵地。
结论：英国沦为移民中转枢纽的困境，不是单纯的移民危机，而是当代主权体系在全球化与技术化双重压力下的系统性失效。福柯的生物政治理论与阿伦特的难民分析，为理解这一困境提供了深刻的思想资源。然而，当代现实又超越了这些理论，提出了算法治理、混合战争与主权重构等新的理论挑战。未来的治理实践，必须在主权、安全与人权之间寻找新的平衡，否则，英国今日的困境将成为明日欧洲的普遍命运。
专题二： 《权力下放还是资本下放？英格兰东北部"企业特区"计划的新自由主义幽灵》
1. 现实困境深描（The Concrete Dilemma）
英格兰东北部（达勒姆、盖茨黑德、桑德兰）的三个地方议会联合呼吁首相安迪·伯纳姆减税、简化规划审批，确保权力下放惠及民众而非官僚机构（[F4_48 🔍]-[F4_55 🔍]）。然而，亚当·斯密研究所智库提出的"企业特区"计划，却将该地区定位为国防工业的"理想之地"，通过设立特殊规则（如减税、简化规划）吸引资本。这一计划的核心矛盾在于：权力下放是为了促进地方自治与就业，还是为了服务于资本的流动与积累？
凯尔·格尼尔（达勒姆郡议会）强调，任何就业提议都必须"造福于当地居民"，并发扬"工业和军事传统"（[F5_52 🔍]）。然而，米切尔·帕尔默（亚当·斯密研究所）的表述却更直白：在东北部发展国防制造业将"提升一个挣扎地区的地位"，并为全国推广改革提供试点（[F5_55 🔍]）。这种话语上的张力，暴露了新自由主义治理术的核心悖论：地方自治与资本逻辑的对抗。
2. 博弈机制与话语策略剖析（Mechanisms & Discourse）
《每日快报》在深度版面以标题《权力下放必须促进就业，而非官僚机构》（[F4_48 🔍]）构建了一个反官僚主义的叙事框架。这种叙事通过将"官僚机构"与"就业创造"对立起来，制造了一种紧急状态的想象：只有减少规制、吸引资本，才能拯救东北部的经济困境。
然而，这种叙事背后隐藏着治理逻辑的转移： - 新自由主义的治理术：亚当·斯密研究所作为典型的新自由主义智库，其"企业特区"计划本质上是将地方治理转化为资本积累的工具。通过减税、简化规划等手段，地方政府放弃了对经济活动的调控权，转而成为资本的服务者。 - 权力下放的虚假承诺：伯纳姆的权力下放计划（如设立"唐宁街北部"办事处）在形式上赋予了地方更多自治权，但在实质上却可能沦为资本下放的幌子。地方议会领导人（如尼克·艾伦、克里斯·埃尼翁）的表态，更多是对资本召唤的回应，而非对地方自治的真正捍卫。
3. 历史思想资源的平等对话（Theoretical Resonance）
哈耶克的知识分散理论与韦伯的官僚科层制理论，为理解这一困境提供了思想资源。哈耶克在《通往奴役之路》中指出，中央集权的计划经济必然导致效率低下，而分散的市场机制才能实现资源的最优配置。然而，亚当·斯密研究所的"企业特区"计划，却将哈耶克的理论简化为资本的自由流动，而忽视了其对地方自治与民主参与的强调。
另一方面，韦伯在《经济与社会》中对官僚科层制的分析，揭示了现代国家治理的核心矛盾：效率与自由的对立。韦伯认为，官僚科层制在提高治理效率的同时，也压制了个体的自由与创造性。然而，新自由主义的"反官僚主义"叙事，却将官僚科层制视为万恶之源，而忽视了其在民主治理与公共利益保障中的作用。
4. 当代现实对理论的反向质询与新洞见（Contemporary Synthesis）
当代全球治理的一个关键趋势在于：新自由主义治理术与地方自治的辩证张力。英格兰东北部的"企业特区"计划，正是这一趋势的典型案例： - 资本的全球流动与地方治理的碎片化：全球资本在追求利润最大化的过程中，通过"企业特区"等手段，将地方治理转化为资本积累的工具。这导致了地方自治的碎片化与不平等加剧。 - 算法治理与新自由主义的结合：当代治理不仅依赖于传统的官僚科层制，更越来越依赖于算法与大数据。然而，这种算法治理在实践中却可能沦为资本逻辑的延伸，进一步压制地方自治与民主参与。
结论：英格兰东北部的"企业特区"计划，不是单纯的经济发展策略，而是新自由主义治理术在地方层面的典型表现。哈耶克与韦伯的理论为理解这一困境提供了深刻的思想资源，但当代现实又超越了这些理论，提出了资本全球流动、算法治理与地方自治等新的理论挑战。未来的治理实践，必须在效率、自由与民主之间寻找新的平衡，否则，英格兰东北部的困境将成为全球治理的普遍命运。

▌ 精选核心专题理性与情感辩证论证 (The Dialectic of Logos and Pathos Monograph)
专题一： 《边境失守的肉身剧场：从多佛轮渡到制度冷漠的权力游戏》
制度理性架构解构（Deconstruction of Institutional Logos） 英国边境管理的技术官僚模型在《全球打击跨国有组织犯罪》报告中被揭示为"松懈的签证制度"——在其他入境要求更为严格的国家，英国的签证政策却相对宽松。影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普将边境失守归咎于内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德的"混乱"管理，这一指控背后是对英国边境主权的技术性焦虑。然而，报告更深层的制度逻辑在于：边境管理被简化为签证审批的量化指标与执法资源的分配问题，而忽视了移民作为活生生肉身的存在。多佛轮渡港的露宿者场景被报告描述为"临时聚集地"，这一去情感化的语言掩盖了人类苦难的具体性——塞内加尔男子描述的"到处都有人睡觉"，正是制度理性将人类痛感抽象化的结果。
生活世界真实痛感深描（Living Lifeworld Pathos） 在多佛的桥下与货运停车场，我们看到的是一个活生生的"肉身剧场"：露宿者的睡袋、衣物与垃圾构成了对英国社会繁荣表象的直接反讽。塞内加尔男子的叙述"到处都有人睡觉"不仅描述了物理空间的拥挤，更揭示了精神空间的荒芜——这些移民被剥夺了基本的尊严与安全感，沦为全球资本流动的剩余物。走私者与露宿者的共谋关系进一步揭示了资本与肉身在全球不平等链条中的暧昧共生：走私者提供的"服务"实际上是对制度漏洞的利用，而露宿者则成为这一系统的牺牲品。这种共谋关系背后是对生命尊严的集体漠视，它将人类苦难转化为地缘政治筹码，使得边境管理成为一场关于"谁配拥有安全"的权力游戏。
Logos 与 Pathos 的内在辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction） 制度理性与生活世界痛感的撕裂在这里表现为两种话语的对抗：一种是技术官僚的"边境管理"话语，将移民问题简化为签证审批与执法资源的分配问题；另一种是肉身存在的"苦难叙事"，揭示了制度冷漠如何将人类痛感转化为地缘政治筹码。影子内政大臣菲尔普的指控看似对制度失灵的揭露，实则是将边境失守归咎于个人责任，掩盖了制度设计本身的缺陷。而露宿者的叙述则揭示了这种制度设计背后的隐性逻辑：边境管理不是为了保护生命，而是为了维护主权的象征性秩序。这种辩证摩擦最终指向的是对全球资本主义秩序的批判：边境管理的技术官僚理性与肉身存在的情感需求之间的撕裂，正是资本主义全球化进程中权力与苦难的共谋关系的体现。
话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Discourse Temperature & Prognosis） 报纸在报道中使用了两种截然不同的语言温度：一种是技术官僚的冷色调语言，如"松懈的签证制度"、"边境失守"、"混乱管理"等；另一种是肉身存在的热色调语言，如"到处都有人睡觉"、"睡袋、衣物及其他垃圾"等。这种话语温度差揭示了英国社会在面对边境危机时的心理韧性危机：技术官僚话语试图将问题理性化，而肉身叙事则揭示了问题的情感深度。从报纸的版面空间来看，肉身叙事被压缩在头版的一个角落，而技术官僚话语则占据了更多的版面空间，这反映了英国社会在面对边境危机时的集体焦虑与道德谴责。然而，这种话语温度差也为社会心理韧性的恢复提供了可能性：通过将肉身叙事纳入公共话语空间，英国社会或许能够重新审视边境管理的伦理维度，并寻找更具人文关怀的解决方案。
专题二： 《权力下放的官僚幽灵：英格兰东北部就业创造与制度怀疑的辩证张力》
制度理性架构解构（Deconstruction of Institutional Logos） 英格兰东北部权力下放计划的技术官僚模型体现在亚当·斯密研究所的"企业特区"提议中。该提议呼吁在五处公有土地设立特区，制定特殊规则支持企业发展，其核心逻辑是通过减税与简化规划审批来创造就业机会。然而，这种技术官僚理性背后隐含的是对地方自治的不信任：权力下放被简化为对官僚机构的权力让渡，而忽视了地方社区的具体需求。达勒姆郡议会的凯尔·格尼尔强调"造福当地居民"的情感诉求，与智库"提升地区地位"的技术话语形成张力，揭示了制度设计与生活世界需求之间的撕裂。这种撕裂在报纸的版面空间中也有所体现：权力下放计划被放置在"高端"专业栏目，而地方议会领导人的情感诉求则被压缩在一个段落中，这反映了技术官僚话语在公共话语空间中的优势地位。
生活世界真实痛感深描（Living Lifeworld Pathos） 英格兰东北部的权力下放计划触动了当地居民对"就业"与"尊严"的集体期待。达勒姆郡议会领导人强调"高质量、有回报且长期的就业机会"，盖茨黑德与桑德兰议会领导人则将国防生产中心视为"极大提升制造业基础"的机遇。然而，这种情感诉求背后是对制度怀疑的集体焦虑：地方议会领导人担心权力下放计划最终沦为官僚机构的权力游戏，而忽视了当地居民的具体需求。这种焦虑在报纸的报道中被进一步放大：权力下放计划被描述为"创造数千个就业机会"，但同时警告"不要增加额外的官僚机构层级"，这种矛盾揭示了制度设计与生活世界需求之间的深层撕裂。地方议会领导人的情感诉求——"造福当地居民"——正是对这种撕裂的直接回应，它揭示了权力下放计划背后的隐性逻辑：制度理性试图通过技术手段解决社会问题，而忽视了社会问题的情感维度。
Logos 与 Pathos 的内在辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction） 权力下放计划的技术官僚理性与地方议会领导人的情感诉求之间的辩证摩擦体现在两种话语的对抗中：一种是亚当·斯密研究所的"提升地区地位"话语，将权力下放简化为经济增长与就业创造的技术问题；另一种是地方议会领导人的"造福当地居民"话语，强调权力下放必须回应具体的生活世界需求。这种辩证摩擦最终指向的是对英国治理模式的批判：权力下放计划的技术官僚理性与地方自治的情感需求之间的撕裂，揭示了英国治理模式在面对社会问题时的制度僵化。然而，这种辩证摩擦也为社会心理韧性的恢复提供了可能性：通过将情感诉求纳入公共话语空间，英国社会或许能够重新审视权力下放的伦理维度，并寻找更具包容性的解决方案。
