“为欧盟学生削减大学学费是疯狂之举”
布鲁塞尔要求将欧盟学生在英大学费削减75%作为重启协议的一部分
撰文：亚伦·纽伯里 政治记者
安迪·伯纳姆正在考虑欧盟官方的要求，即削减欧盟学生在英国大学所需支付的学费。
此前，原定与前首相基尔·斯塔默爵士举行的英欧峰会被推迟。
在10月的会议上，双方将签署一系列协议，意在重启英国与欧盟的脱欧后关系。
除了食品和饮料法规的调整外，该协议还将包括一个青年流动计划，该计划将赋予多达100,000名欧盟公民在英国工作、生活和学习的权利。该协议也将允许英国青年在欧盟享有类似权利。
据信，布鲁塞尔已将削减欧盟学生在英国学习的学费作为协议的核心部分。
目前，在英国就读的欧盟学生每年需支付高达38,000英镑的学费，但这一费用将被削减至9,535英镑——降幅达75%，与英国本地本科生持平。
保守党影子教育大臣劳拉·特罗特议员将该计划形容为“疯狂之举”，并表示政府的“优先事项完全错误”。
她补充道：“我们应当削减英国学生的大学成本，而不是欧盟学生的成本。
“安迪·伯纳姆应当专注于改善国内学生的机会，他们往往被引导进入大学，却背负巨额债务且找不到工作，而不是为外国学生削减成本。”
保守党最近宣布计划取消部分学生贷款利息。
增长
伯纳姆先生去年曾表示“长期来看，我希望重新加入[欧盟]”，但在今年6月竞选麦克菲尔德选区时改变了立场。
在竞选后期，他表示他“尊重”脱欧公投的结果，并“不会提议英国考虑重新加入欧盟”。
大学方面警告称，屈从于布鲁塞尔的要求可能会因收入减少而加剧其本已紧张的预算压力；
工党议员安德鲁·卢因，前跨党派英国贸易与商业委员会主席，呼吁伯纳姆先生同意青年流动协议。
他对《i报》表示，唐宁街应当“抓住机遇”，以便“我们能够兑现让18至30岁年轻人在欧盟自由旅行的承诺”。
内阁办公室发言人表示：“我们正在建立与欧盟的宏伟、紧密关系，这将强化我们的经济，并在每个邮政编码区域释放增长潜力。”
疯狂
"在我们需要更多警力和反恐措施的时刻，绿党却想要削减所有这些，认为这会让英国变得更好？简直是疯了！"
曾在伦敦警察厅和汉普郡警察局服役28年的斯图尔特·亨德森表示，泰瑟枪让警员更安全。
他补充道："如果这些被收走，最终只会导致警员严重受伤，甚至死亡。告诉人们‘请停下来，因为你穿着制服’根本没用。
"那种日子早就过去了。警员数量减少，单人执勤增多，如果你处于求助端，帮助会遥遥无期。
"在我的职业生涯中曾多次遭到袭击，更多人是被催泪瓦斯吓阻的——这让他们有片刻思考，而在这短暂的一瞬间，你就能制服并逮捕他们，不让任何一方受到伤害。
"也许绿党领导人应该跟着警察值几个班，然后再问问自己这个主意是否靠谱。"
绿党领袖波兰斯基先生表示："在绿党，任何成员都可以提出政策，成员们再决定是否讨论它。"

气球放飞对警察家属是"一记耳光"
在A66车祸中丧生的七人中，有五人的家属计划放飞气球以示悼念，此举被批为对悲痛警察家属的"一记耳光"。
这些年轻男子所乘汽车撞上一辆配备武装响应装备的警车，导致37岁的马修·布莱兹警员（PC Matthew Blades）和38岁的汤姆·克洛夫警员（PC Tom Clough）殉职。遇难者家属希望表达敬意，首场悼念活动昨晚在米德尔斯brough举行。
但据了解，此计划已引发多方反对。
17岁的科尔·罗伯特·沃西（Cole Robert Worthy）、西奥·雷（Theo Rae），18岁的马凯·萨丁顿（Makai Saddington），以及23岁的迈克尔·罗伯特·卡希尔（Michael Robert Cahill）和雅各布·马图西亚克（Jacob Matusiak）当时正乘坐一辆大众帕萨特沿A66逆向行驶，与警车相撞。警方此前曾追逐该辆大众帕萨特。
干扰行为
"北英格兰停止气球放飞"运动组织敦促米德尔斯brough市议会叫停对五人的悼念活动。
该组织联合创始人林恩（Lynne，不愿透露姓氏）表示，气球放飞不仅对布莱兹警员和克洛夫警员的家属是"一记耳光"，还会危及野生动物。
林恩六年前发起该组织，她敦促支持者就此计划"轰炸"市议会。
该运动人士表示，气球可能伤害野生动物，还会造

火车线路的中断。她鼓励哀悼者通过其他方式纪念这些男孩，例如吹泡泡。
RSPCA表示，动物误食气球可能会堵塞其消化道和呼吸道，导致死亡。
该动物慈善组织补充称，任何死亡都可能是缓慢而痛苦的。
尽管存在抗议活动，首次有组织的纪念活动昨晚仍如期举行。目击者称，人群逐渐增至约200人。
数十名戴口罩的青少年骑着自行车，挥舞着蓝色和红色的烟花，并释放了数百个彩色气球。
一位20多岁的女性参与者表示：“雅各布是个可爱、善良的小伙子，他是某人的儿子，也是某人的兄弟，他不是什么该死的混蛋，不该被一笔勾销、被遗忘。
‘那些警察的死是一场意外。
他们并非故意杀人，自己也失去了生命，但却被一笔抹去，仿佛他们无足轻重。
今天来参加雅各布纪念活动的人数，足以证明他们确实重要。’”
她的这番话是在法庭记录显示，马凯·萨丁顿（Makai Saddington）正在等待审判，被控于6月9日在米德尔斯brough袭击警察，并对他人造成种族加重的惊恐或不安。
此外，人们还呼吁删除此类内容。
他表示：“我认为，应该由那些口头承诺支持的社交媒体公司关闭推动和分享此类非法内容的算法。
不要给这些人提供从非法行为中获利的机会，因为这不仅仅是点击量的问题，这些点击量可以转化为社交媒体平台向发布此类内容者支付的金钱。”
改革英国党的李·安德森表示：“我认为，要阻止这些社交媒体公司允许此类恶劣帖子出现在其平台上，唯一的方法就是巨额罚款。
‘道理很简单，打击他们的荷包。’”
在12名被捕者中，4人因涉嫌参与有组织犯罪团伙被拘留，4人因涉嫌持有枪支被拘留，另有4人因涉嫌持有并意图供应A类和B类毒品被拘留。
克利夫兰警察局助理总监韦恩·福克斯表示：“这是一项快速推进且复杂的调查，与严重有组织犯罪活动存在重大关联。
‘那个悲惨夜晚发生的事件将对克利夫兰地区及我们致力保护的社区产生深远而深刻的影响。
‘我们有责任应对并彻底调查导致这起致命事件的严重刑事活动，并将所有责任人绳之以法。
韧性
"在接下来的几周和几个月里，我们将继续采取强有力的应对措施，继续打击那些企图危害我们社区的人，并打击严重有组织犯罪。
"在面对这场悲剧时，克利夫兰全境的警员和工作人员展现出了令人难以置信的韧性。"
Blades警员和Clough警员并未参与最初的追捕，但他们被召集到该区域协助搜寻。
家属向曾任英国民用核能警察局（Civil Nuclear Constabulary）警员的Clough警员致敬，称他“始终履行公共职责”。
这位两个孩子的父亲的家人称他为“我们的超级英雄”，并补充道：“他在执行公务中献出了生命，以勇气、奉献精神和无私地保护并服务他人。”
在通过克利夫兰警察局发布的一份令人动容的声明中，Blades警员心碎的遗孀将他描述为“我深爱的丈夫，我最好的朋友，以及我们两个年幼儿子的最尽职的父亲”。
她说，他也是一名“受宠的儿子和兄弟，一个完美的女婿，以及最有趣的舅舅 / 叔叔”。
遗孀补充道：“他深受所有家人和朋友的爱，无法用言语表达，他的离去留下了一个永远无法填补的空白。
"我们的孩子在成长过程中会知道他曾是一位多么伟大的父亲，并且永远如此。
"我将永远带着他的爱、他的记忆以及我们共同拥有的一切。"

工党试图为萨塞克斯夫妇提供保护
作者：乔纳森·沃克（JONATHAN WALKER）
在多位工党政治人物呼吁为这对夫妇提供由纳税人资助的保护时，唐宁街表示，哈里（HARRY）和梅根（Meghan）的安全安排将保持“在审查中”。
前工党内政大臣大卫·布兰克特（David Blunkett）表示，萨塞克斯公爵与公爵夫人及其子女在英国停留期间（停留时间可能短至六个月）应获得“中级”水平的保护。
下议院外交事务委员会工党主席艾米莉·索恩伯里（Emily Thornberry）表示：“他们理应获得安全保障。”
审查
政府拒绝就相关报道发表评论，报道称一个监督王室安全的委员会正在审查其拒绝为哈里提供保护的决定。
首相发言人表示：“我们不提供有关这些安排的详细信息，因为这样做会危及他们的安全。
"但负责王室和公众人物保护的执行委员会会对大不列颠王室及关键公众人物的保护性安全措施进行持续审查。"
萨塞克斯公爵去年在一场法律挑战中败诉，他此前试图推翻一项在停止担任职能王室成员后降低其安全等级的决定。
哈里退出违规基金
作者：劳拉·埃尔斯顿（LAURA ELSTON）
哈里已辞去一家非洲野生动物慈善机构董事的职务，该机构的护林员曾强奸、折磨并殴打原住民。
公爵的发言人表示，他仍然是非洲公园（African Parks）的积极支持者。
去年，该机构承认其在刚果共和国奥扎拉-科夸国家公园（Odzala-Kokoua National Park）的警卫存在虐待行为。
该慈善机构表示，其已改进了保障程序。41岁的哈里在2023年加入董事会之前，曾担任该机构主席六年。
2016年，他在该机构的一个项目中帮助将马拉维的大象转移到安全地带。其发言人表示：“他对非洲自然保护的承诺仍在继续。”

公爵夫人揭示她的核心价值观
作者：丽贝卡·拉塞尔
梅根似乎沉醉于外界对她即将回归英国的猜测，在网上卖关子：“一点点关于即将到来的提示。”
在她的“As Ever”生活方式品牌发布的一段神秘Instagram视频中，苏塞克斯公爵夫人身穿黑色连衣裙、靴子和厚重的奶油色开衫，在林间漫步并采摘一篮苹果。
现年45岁的梅根去年创立了As Ever品牌，并已售出从果酱到葡萄酒瓶的各种商品。
她这则神秘帖文发布前数日，外界披露苏塞克斯夫妇将搬回英国，同时有传闻称公爵夫人将重返荧屏，出演热门Netflix剧集《绅士们》。
尽管梅根尚未证实此次搬迁或任何角色，但这段采摘苹果的视频似乎暗示她的未来将硕果累累……

国王查尔斯在新的10便士硬币上
正面为王，反面为松鸡
作者：维姬·肖
国王的肖像将从今日起出现在10便士硬币上，超过700万枚新币将随之发行，以满足需求增长。
硬币背面刻有受威胁的松鸡鸟图案。自然保护主义者正在努力拯救这种苏格兰原生的华丽林地松鸡，使其免于灭绝。
该设计体现了查尔斯对环境的热忱。
皇家铸币厂表示，约60万枚刻有2023年日期的硬币及650万枚今年铸造的硬币现已发行。
里程碑
这些硬币紧随国王的5便士、50便士和1英镑硬币之后进入流通领域——后者自2022年以来已投入使用，仅占流通中241.42亿枚硬币的1%。
仍印有女王伊丽莎白二世肖像的英国硬币仍为法定货币。
铸币厂主任丽贝卡·摩根表示：“这是英国硬币史上的一个里程碑时刻。
我们希望通过将这种非凡的鸟类带入数百万民众的口袋和钱包，能够引发一场全国性对话，讨论一个物种在英国濒临永远消失的风险。”
约140万成年人仍使用现金进行日常消费。
电视业高层已驳斥有关苏塞克斯公爵夫人被排除在盖伊·里奇的热门Netflix剧集《绅士们》之外的传闻。
此前，作家蒂娜·布朗声称梅根已被剔除计划中的角色，并声称“反对声浪如此强烈，以致无法继续”。
现高层人士已出面澄清，将称盖伊“叫停”了前《金装律师》女星的传闻斥为无稽之谈。
在《每日快报》新闻节目《Daily Expresso》中，主持人JJ·阿尼西奥比披露了内部消息。
他说：“关于梅根被撤销角色的报道纯属无稽之谈。这完全是无稽之谈。根本没有相关角色。这件事从未发生过。”他还揭露了两年前的初步讨论细节。作为《快报》助理编辑的JJ表示：“事情发生在大约两年前，梅根的一些朋友——他们与盖伊·里奇的朋友有交集——在相似的圈子里活动。
有人提议，‘里奇，给你，梅根其实正想重返演艺圈，而且她很喜欢你的剧。你觉得将来有没有可能给她安排个角色？’
盖伊·里奇回应：‘嗯，我可以想出些点子，我们可以聊聊。’他提出了三四个不同的初步构想，双方进行了反复沟通。”
然而，哈里王子与内政部在高调安全保卫战最终扼杀了梅根在英国本土露面的任何可能性。
对于苏塞克斯夫妇而言，在英国乡间无警察保护长时间拍摄的前景成为了无法逾越的障碍。
客串
详细解释为什么梅根本人叫停第二季客串的原因时，JJ补充道："最终，梅根说，‘你知道吗，实际上时机完全不对。我得去英国拍摄。’这本该是大约一年前的事，当时正在拍摄。根本不可能。所以出于这个原因，
梅根有点像，‘时机不对。哈里正在起诉法院试图恢复安保。我现在不能去英国拍摄。’
‘这就是事情的经过。这是针对第二季的。’
‘有关盖伊·里奇因第三季的定制角色而叫停她的报道纯属放屁。’”
昨天，Netflix确认第三季已获批准，同时发布了第二季的完整预告片。
在梅根与这对夫妇与流媒体巨头的巨额交易最近被修改后，有关她有望在节目中客串的消息随之曝光。
在华盛顿举行的《财富》"Powerful Women"峰会上，梅根谈及了这份更新的协议：
"我的丈夫和我与Netflix有一份整体协议，然后对它的延伸现在变成了一份‘首映权’协议。
这也很令人兴奋，因为它让我们有灵活性，可以先找我们的合作伙伴，同时也能推销可能不适合Netflix但有其他归宿的内容。"
业内专家坚称，公爵夫人若回归荧屏必将引发商业热潮。
一位电视业内人士表示："她回归演艺事业预计将吸引大批支持者和批评者，并可能赚得盆满钵满。这将被视为签约方的一大胜利。"
但公爵夫人此前曾就其演艺事业宣称："我结束了。我想永远别说‘永远’，但我的意图绝对是不再继续。"

我会尽力而为，但不会不切实际，人们真的需要理解这一点。
‘我们正处于一个充满挑战的位置。’”
约翰·希利财政大臣将于10月28日提交首份预算案，伯纳姆先生此前曾誓言遵守工党不加税的竞选承诺。
但反对党抓住他最近在乌克兰访问期间发表的最新言论不放。
Mad
Reform UK's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick said: "Instead of slashing the ballooning benefits bill, scrapping foreign aid to rich countries or getting rid of mad net zero subsidies, Andy Burnham is going to raise people's taxes.
"He may talk differently, but he's exactly the same as Keir Starmer. The last thing this country needs is another tax assault on working people as they're already struggling with the cost of living. Reform UK will be opposing Burnham's tax rises every step of the way."
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: "Andy Burnham has been unable to say where the money is coming from to pay for his commitments, so is now staring down the inevitable barrel of tax rises. It doesn't matter who is in charge, it is the Labour Party itself that's the problem."
BY JONATHAN WALKER Whitehall Editor
LABOUR was accused of delivering "a sucker punch" to the great British pub after it emerged that urgently needed reforms to business rates will not come into force until 2029.
The Treasury pledged rates for pubs and hotels would be made fairer after bills for many shot up in April, with average payments for the sector due to be 1 亿英镑 higher in 2027-28, and 90 亿英镑 higher in 2028-29.
A government review led by business rates expert Jerry Schurder will consider how pubs and hotels are valued and bring forward recommendations by the end of March next year.
However, changes are not expected to kick in until the next round of revaluations in 2029.
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: "Labour have once again been found out for gas-lighting businesses and workers across Britain."
Writing in the Express, he warned: "The government's plan to review business rates for the hospitality sector won't change anything until 2029. That will be a sucker punch for a sector already on its knees thanks to Labour.
"It is just too little, too late."
Industry leaders had demanded immediate help as pressure was heaped on struggling pubs which were closing at the rate of two every day in the first quarter of this year.
They urged Chancellor John Healey to deliver a package of support in a Budget statement on October 28 for a sector employing 360 万.
Andy Burnham announced a 20% business rates cut for pubs, clubs and live music venues in one of his first acts as Prime Minister, saving the typical pub an estimated 90 亿英镑 next year.
But Sir Mel said: "Labour are hiking business rates by 90 亿英镑 billion.
"Burnham and Healey's support package for pubs was bigger in headlines than substance – just 1亿英镑 a year, a drop in the ocean compared with the rise. And only 4% of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses will benefit."
The Conservatives would abolish business rates for tens of thousands of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, Sir Mel said.
紧急
UKHospitality对政府的评估表示欢迎，但表示预算案中也需要采取紧急行动。
首席执行官艾伦·辛普森表示：“我很高兴政府正在认真审视酒吧和酒店的估值方法。
“当重新评估时，应评税价值翻倍或三倍，这清楚地表明现行制度已破裂，亟需进行适当改革。
“虽然这项亟需的评估是积极的，但这是一项中期改革，无法解决因商业税费上涨而引发的即时财务挑战。”
他表示，未来三年，平均酒店的税费账单将上涨110%，餐厅的税费账单将上涨54%。
辛普森先生补充道：“他们理所当然地期待在10月的预算案中看到这一问题得到解决。虽然我支持政府的独立评估以改善制度，使其更好地反映贸易现实，但这必须与预算案中的财政行动相结合，以减轻整个酒店业的税收负担，其中商业税费占据重要比例。”
英国啤酒与酒吧协会表示，在商业税费上涨生效之前，酒吧就已面临危机，今年年初英国已有161家酒吧关闭，相当于每天近两家。
该协会表示，这相当于超过2,400个工作岗位流失，年轻人尤其可能受到影响。
其他企业也警告称，由于“复杂且过时”的税费制度，它们也在遭受损失。
英国商会联合会（British Chambers of Commerce）商务环境政策负责人Jonny Haseldine就评估表示：“虽然我们欢迎针对酒吧和酒店的评估，但这一评估应更广泛，涵盖所有行业。
“政府在上次大选时承诺的商业税费全面改革已迫在眉睫。这种持续的零敲碎打改革方式是错误的。全面改革商业税费——政府在上次大选时承诺的改革——已迫在眉睹。这种持续的零敲碎打改革方式是错误的。”
政府已邀请房东、酿酒商、酒店经营者和企业主参与商业税费改革的咨询。
测量专家Jerry Schurder，负责此次评估，表示：“我期待听取企业、代表机构和估值专业人士的意见，以评估当前酒吧和酒店估值方法的实际运作情况，以及它们是否仍适合目的。利益相关者的证据和参与将是制定评估建议的核心。”
英国财政部财务秘书James Murray表示：“酒吧和酒店对社区至关重要，并为每个邮政编码区带来增长。
“上个月我们宣布了对酒吧的减税措施，为它们提供所需的喘息空间。我们正在进一步重新考虑估值方法——以便为未来构建更公平的制度。”
英国最大酿酒、酒吧和餐厅连锁企业格林王（Greene King）负责人Nick Mackenzie表示：“近年来，酒吧发现自己需缴纳的商业税费账单日益不成比例，因此我们欢迎这一独立评估。”
英国自由民主党财政发言人Daisy Cooper敦促工党采纳该党的紧急增值税减税计划，即明年4月实施，随后全面改革商业税费，清除“影子房东”，并撤销对雇主国民保险缴款的修改。

挣扎中的酒吧“现在就需要帮助”
财政大臣约翰·希利被邀请成为10月预算案的社会事务全国委员会成员
评论
梅尔·斯特赖德
影子财政大臣
工党再次被发现对英国各地的企业和工人实施误导。
他们告诉我们，他们值得信任，能够支持我们的企业，能够站在劳动人民一边，但现在他们再次未能兑现自己的承诺。
政府计划审查酒店业的商业税率，但直到2029年才会有所改变。这对一个已然跪地求生的行业来说，无异于致命一击。
这实在是太少、太晚了。
工党将商业税率提高£90亿。 伯纳姆和希利为酒馆提供的支持方案在头条上看起来更大，实质却不过是区区每年1 亿英镑m——与税率上涨相比，这简直是沧海一粒。而且仅有4%的零售、酒店和休闲业企业将受益。
但他们曾承诺“救兵即将到来”。而我们得到的，却是长达三年的拖延。
如果这就是全部，那么对太多企业和太多就业岗位而言，这将是丧钟。
小企业负责人已警告称，仅因4月面临的税率上涨，到2026年底前就有数千家企业面临倒闭。
对本届政府下的企业而言，接连不断的打击接踵而至。
疏忽
蕾切斯首次出手，便提高了雇主的国民保险缴款，令雇佣成本大幅上升。
雷纳随后跟进，在《就业权利法案》中推出大量新的裁员红头文件。
如今伯纳姆和希利也轮到了，他们将关乎数千家企业生死存亡的问题束之高阁。
这些都是我们耳熟能详、深受喜爱的企业。街角的酒馆、假日入住的酒店、我们观看最爱的演出的场地。它们需要的是我们的帮助，而不是工党的疏忽。若要实现就业与经济增长，我们必须全力支持企业。
只有保守党拥有激进且可信的计划。我们将完全废除数千家高街企业的商业税率，助其创造就业并降低全国民众的消费成本。
我们能做出这一承诺，是因为我们拥有全面成本核算的计划，可从福利开支中节省数十亿英镑。保守党始终将工作置于福利之前。
我们还将废除裁员红头文件，让企业专注于自身所长，而非陷入规则与文书工作的泥潭。
我们将全力支持企业，因为我们是唯一知道这条路径能建设更强大经济与更强大国家的政党。
“我们将驱逐不爱护房屋的懒惰租客”
根据改革党的一项政策，那些吸食大麻或任由花园杂草丛生的社会住房租客，可能会被驱逐出其租住的议会所有房产。
该党将把35岁以下的英国在职已婚夫妇以及退伍军人排在社会住房申请队列的前列。
改革党还承诺，如果该党上台，将在十年内每年建造50,000套新的社会住房。
该党主席李·安德森（Lee Anderson）议员表示：“对于那些居住在由勤奋的英国纳税人支付并资助的补贴住房中的人们，要求他们将房屋保持在合理的标准，这有什么不对吗？”安德森先生补充道
政治记者AARON NEWBURY报道
租客还将被要求修剪花园杂草，并在正确的日期将垃圾桶推出去。
这位阿什菲尔德（Ashfield）议员表示：“在我的社区里，这是一个大问题，因为他们没有根据适用性来分配住房。我们看到各种各样的人搬进来。
“勤奋的英国纳税人去上班，看到隔壁房子的杂草长了4英尺，垃圾桶三周没清理，而且还飘出大麻味。”
安德森先生表示，这种情况“不可接受”，并补充说，在职的英国人“希望他们的税款用于体面的人”。
但工党将此举贴上了“不严肃且不可行”的标签，称该公告是试图“将头条新闻从改革党的肮脏勾当、丑闻和内斗中转移开”。
一名工党发言人表示： “社会住房的准入已经受到严格控制。非法移民、寻求庇护者以及持有学生或工作签证的移民没有资格申请社会住房。此
李·安德森热衷于打击社会住房租客
项政策将针对那些为我国做出贡献但并非英国公民的英国长期居民，包括国民医疗服务体系（NHS）的工作人员。这将使更多家庭面临无家可归的风险，并增加纳税人负担的临时住宿使用量。”
改革党的公告发布之际，政府表示将花费£100 亿加元在英格兰各地建造70,000套以上“真正负担得起”的房屋。
首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）表示：“地方议会曾经在住房危机中重建过这个国家。
“只要得到适当的支持并被信任去执行，他们会再次做到的。”

前世界斯诺克冠军格雷姆·多特（Graeme Dott）被裁定犯有性虐待两名儿童的罪名。
这位49岁的男子在1993年至1996年间针对一名女孩，在2006年至2010年间针对一名男孩。
在格拉斯哥高等法院（High Court）为期五天的审理中，法庭获悉多特向两名小学年龄的青少年裸露身体，对其进行了不适当的触摸并亲吻他们。
昨天，陪审团裁定他两项猥亵、不端和好色行为罪名成立。
在这两起案件中，虐待行为均发生在格拉斯哥地区。
陪审员听取了多特的一名受害者（一名现年40多岁的女性）的陈述，她告诉法庭，在她还是孩子的时候，多特曾多次在不同场合对其进行性虐待。
滿足感
她說，這一切始於多特在背著她時「隔著衣服撫摸她的臀部」。
該女子還描述了一次事件，當時多特提議玩一個「猜猜看」的遊戲，讓她猜他在做什麼。
她告訴法庭，她躺下後，他暴露自己，然後開始用身體的不同部位觸摸她。
該女子告訴法庭，多特告訴她不要告訴任何人他正在對她進行性侵犯行為。
第二名受害者，一名現年二十九歲出頭的男子，表示他曾多次遭到多特虐待，這位斯諾克選手對他進行了不當觸摸、親吻，並
作者：露辛達·卡梅倫、尼克·福布斯
進行性行為。他告訴法庭，許多虐待發生在淋浴時，多特會穿著部分或完全不穿衣服進來。
該男子表示，現在回想起來，多特「顯然從中獲得了性滿足」。他說，由於當時的年齡，他「不知道發生了什麼」，直到後來才意識到這種互動「不對勁」。
證人還描述了發生在車內的虐待，他說多特會親吻他的臉、頭和嘼靠著我」。
上週作證時，多特表示他「絕對不可能」對兒童進行性侵犯。
在檢察官林賽·達爾齊爾的盤問下，多特否認曾對年輕時的女孩產生過興趣，稱這一想法「令人噁心」。
當達爾齊爾女士向多特提出他觸摸了第一名受害者並告訴她該做什麼時，他否認了這一指控，並稱其為「謊言」。
談到第二名受害者時，多特表示他「從未與其共處」，並否認所有虐待指控。
這位聲名狼藉的體育選手曾在二零零六年贏得斯諾克世錦賽冠軍，昨天在被裁定有罪時用雙手摀住臉，搖著頭。他將在九月二十九日於愛丁堡被還押候審。
教師被控侵犯，否認穿著性感
一名被控與兩名學生發生性關係的化學老師告訴陪審團，她在二十多歲時「不會打扮得像瑪格麗特·撒切爾」。
莎莉-安·鮑恩（六十五歲）否認在二十世紀八十年代末對十四或十五歲的男孩進行猥褻侵犯。
鮑恩（曾在倫敦北部芬奇利的男子基督學院任教）之前被投訴者和一名前學生描述為穿著「性感挑逗」的方式。
昨天，她否認了檢察官的說法，即她穿緊身上衣和迷你裙。鮑恩在哈羅刑事法庭上表示：「裙子並不很短，我不會被允許穿得太短。」當被要求展示長度時，她將雙手放在膝蓋上方幾英寸處並發表了撒切爾的言論。一名投訴者聲稱他與該老師「大約有二十或三十次」性關係，並認為她是他的女友。鮑恩此前稱其為「徹頭徹尾的捏造」和「幻想的產物」。
第二名原告表示，他和鮑恩接過一次吻，並觸摸了她的胸部。她說她不記得他。鮑恩現居赫特福德郡的赫默爾亨普斯特德，她否認了七項猥褻侵犯罪名。案件仍在審理中。

受害者菲奥娜被迫逃离家园：虐待者仅服刑一半即获释
强奸犯虐待者仅服刑一半即获释，引发公愤
独家报道
撰文：保罗·吉弗斯（犯罪编辑）
GROOMING gang victim Fiona Goddard has been forced to flee her home after receiving warnings it would be firebombed.
这一骇人威胁发生在她的虐待者穆罕默德·乌斯曼（Mohammed Usman）本周因仅服刑一半即将获释之际。
在乌斯曼即将出狱的数月里，33岁的五个孩子的母亲菲奥娜持续遭受大量辱骂，迫使警方和社会服务机构为确保她的安全而紧急将其从布拉德福德的家中转移。
目前，她正与子女一起暂住在紧急住所，当局正在为其寻找新的安置地。
西约克郡警方确认正在调查涉嫌的辱骂行为，并逮捕了一名33岁女子，该女子目前已获保释。
但菲奥娜表示：“我不认为受害者有责任不断搬迁以确保自身安全。”
骚扰
“如果受害者在施虐者出狱后仍无法安全，那么施虐者就不该被释放。”
菲奥娜在14岁时于布拉德福德的一家儿童之家生活期间，放弃了终身匿名权，以向其他虐待受害者表明“毫无可耻之处”。她曾遭受由9人组成的诱拐团伙的伤害，该团伙被判犯有22项罪行，包括强奸和教唆儿童卖淫。
该团伙——其中包括乌斯曼——通过酒精、毒品和暴力手段性剥削包括菲奥娜在内的少女。
2019年2月，时年38岁的乌斯曼最终因两项强奸罪被定罪。他最初被判处17年徒刑，但一系列裁决大幅缩短了其服刑时间。其刑期被缩减至15年上诉后，该强奸犯以“在巴基斯坦从事慈善工作”为由提出减刑，而他当时正在逃避强奸指控。
受害者菲奥娜·戈达德（上图）在即将获释的虐待者穆罕默德·乌斯曼（左图）出狱前收到恶毒威胁，被迫逃离家园。乌斯曼仅服刑七年半即将获释
收到多条信息，其中一条 allegedly warning: "My boys are out soon... we'll come see you soon and serve some real justice."
菲奥娜表示：“政府需要意识到提前释放政策将无辜受害者的生活彻底颠覆。这感觉不像正义。”
“乌斯曼被判处长期徒刑，因为这与他对我的所作所为相称，但他仅服刑了七年半。
“那这对我来说意味着什么？这让我感到侮辱。
“警方调查的时间几乎与他服刑时间一样长。
“当我在法庭上听到判决时，我感到非常乐观。但现在我又觉得这一切被夺走了。”
西约克郡议员罗比·摩尔（Robbie Moore）参与协助菲奥娜搬迁。他表示：“菲奥娜被迫陷入这种境地本身就令人愤怒。整个局面恶劣透顶。”
议员补充道：“乌斯曼仅服刑50%即获释的事实完全令人发指。
“任何被判刑者都应服满全部刑期，尤其是在涉及严重性侵犯和团伙诱拐的情况下。”
今年6月，一项针对诱拐团伙的全国性调查将重点关注布拉德福德、奥尔德姆、基斯利和伦敦。
西约克郡警方表示：“警方正在调查一起网络骚扰报告。一名33岁女子已被逮捕并获保释，案件仍在进一步调查中。”
由于他及其同伙掠夺者是在 2019 年被判刑的，他们避开了 2020 年的立法变更，而该变更现在要求重大暴力和性犯罪者必须在狱中服刑 67% 的刑期。
结果，乌斯曼（Usman）在仅服刑七年半后，将于本周获释。
在接下来的 12 个月里，另外四名侵害菲奥娜（Fiona）的施暴者也将根据同样的 50% 规则被计划提前释放。
在乌斯曼即将获释之前，菲奥娜成为了恶劣骚扰活动的攻击目标。

全民关注：必须严控社交媒体巨头
那些美化危险驾驶的视频是一种病态的流行风尚，可能造成可怕的后果。
它们将危险行为描绘成刺激且可接受的行为，从而鼓励人们效仿，甚至可能致人死亡。
社交媒体公司再次被证明对因其平台监管失职而受害的人缺乏责任感和同情心。
这并非孤立案例。社交媒体公司长期以来对其服务可能造成的伤害视而不见。
在Middlesbrough的A66公路上发生的一起车祸中，包括两名警察在内的七人死亡，震惊了全国。警方正在调查导致事故的情况，目前尚不清楚社交媒体是否在此案中扮演了角色。
但此事凸显了一个令人担忧的趋势——“逆行驾驶”视频在社交媒体平台上传播，尽管其危险性显而易见，却仍能长期在线。
一段视频若能触达大量受众，便能为创作者带来收入。热门视频还能增加关注创作者内容的人数，助其未来赚取更多钱财。
社交媒体公司也有类似动机。刺激的视频能留住观众，让他们不断回访。
它们正在以公共安全为代价赚取利润，正如它们允许鼓励自残或危险挑战的内容长期在线时所做的那样。
安迪·伯纳姆表示，分享美化危险驾驶视频的人“正在做一件真正应受谴责的事”。他说得对，但那些将此类内容传播给数百万观众的企业同样难辞其咎。
它们正在赚取巨额利润，且有能力采取行动。它们必须立即删除任何宣扬危险驾驶的内容。
工党承诺的酒吧减税政策是空话
在4月份营业税率暴涨之前，我们的酒吧就已面临危机。每天有两家酒吧倒闭。
伯纳姆先生承诺立即提供帮助，并启动了营业税率审查，旨在建立“公平”的制度。
这不啻于间接承认，新首相上任前工党的决策已令酒吧陷入灾难。酒吧不仅创造就业，还为社区提供至关重要的服务。
因此，审查承诺看似值得欢迎，但显然，最早也要到2029年才会有实质变化。
这对早已面临倒闭风险的店主和酒吧经理而言，无异于雪上加霜。
工党的政策再次沦为空头支票。全国的酒吧无法再等三年。它们现在就需要营业税率的援助。
影子大臣约翰·希利将于10月底提交首份预算案。这将是宣布改革措施、帮助包括传统酒吧在内的挣扎中的酒店业的绝佳机会。
我们需要重建生命，终结哭喊
露宿街头
距离首相宣布全国行动——在圣诞节前为所有被迫露宿街头的人提供脱离街头的途径——还不到一周时间。
我们与首相同样认为，无论是谁，都不应被迫露宿街头。我们的前线团队日夜不停地工作，试图找到这些人，建立信任，并为他们提供适合其需求的住所。
但这项工作依然充满挑战，因为缺乏资源或合适的服务来支撑长期康复。
现在，我们拥有了一个全国性的目标：在圣诞节前尽可能多地将人们带离街头。这不是永久解决方案，仅仅是一个开始。
在疫情期间，随着额外住宿资源的释放，成千上万的人被从街头带离。
通过大胆而果断的行动，我们与面临复杂多重挑战的人们合作数月乃至数年，帮助他们找到永久脱离街头的途径。
作为大曼彻斯特市长，安迪·伯纳姆的《无家可归预防计划》产生了类似影响，当地露宿街头的人数几乎减半。
我们知道，让人们摆脱危机并离开街头是可行的，但在曼彻斯特和全国各地，露宿街头的人数却持续上升。这是因为短期干预措施只能解决一时之需。一个安全的睡眠之所仅仅是开始；如果仅在圣诞节期间为人们提供住所，而后这些人或新的群体又在节礼日重新陷入无家可归，这样的做法毫无意义。
疫情过后，我们曾向政府建议
露宿街头者在帐篷中过夜已成为全国各地的普遍景象
埃玛·哈达德
特约专栏作家
仅凭危机应对无法终结露宿街头问题。作为“克尔斯莱克露宿问题委员会”的秘书处，我们曾预测，若无明确的住房、支持和长期康复途径，政府难以实现终结露宿街头的目标。
长期以来，街头露宿人数的增长及其带来的悲剧，在许多人眼中已沦为“常态”。慈善组织如圣芒戈（St Mungo's）与地方当局及其他机构合作，始终站在这场紧急状况的第一线，支持长期露宿街头的人们，帮助他们应对多重挑战，并满足其复杂的支持需求。所有这些挑战只会随着人们在街头滞留时间延长而愈发严峻。
那么，首相如何实现持久改变？我们需要理解，康复之路并非坦途。它需要以人为本的支持，以培养独立性、韧性和福祉，并建立通往教育、培训和就业的固定渠道。
我们为任何被带离街头的人提供的支持，必须持续保持长期关注、承诺与资金投入。否则，我们将面临成千上万人被困于临时方案，或重新沦为街头流浪的风险。
这还需要政府各部门承担责任，确保医疗、住房、移民和支持服务协同合作，从根本上防止人们沦为街头流浪者。将人们直接从医院、监狱、移民系统或照护系统“放”到街头的做法必须立即停止。

“领取住房补贴的人被私人租赁市场拒之门外”
可负担住房未被优先考虑。领取住房补贴的人及低收入群体正被私人租赁市场拒之门外，因租金持续飙升。
当地住房津贴已无法跟上形势，提高该津贴将有助于解决无家可归问题的一个重要驱动因素。我们理应在此投资，而非继续在临时住所和紧急应对上花费数十亿英镑。
无家可归的预警信号众所周知：有人因生活成本压力挣扎，有人失业后无法维持租约。
在预警信号出现时介入，远比等到危机爆发更有效且成本更低。
我们已准备好在圣诞节前接纳这些人，并为他们提供重建生活的第一步，远离街头。
此外，我们需要共同努力，支持这些人重建生活，确保无人再被遗弃于寒冬之中。

常识的声音
恶魔组合的紧握控制
安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）和安吉拉·雷纳（Angela Rayner）不断谈论权力下放，但他们实际上是在推行更严格的中央集权。
伯纳姆正在授予市长权力，以在规划决策中推翻“NIMBY”（反对开发）议会，
同时保留部长推翻市长决定的权力。
这不是地方民主，而是伦敦唐宁街10号通过一层层地区代理和傀儡来操控规划政策。
若工党真想实现权力下放，就应信任地方议会和当地民众，为其地区制定最佳政策，并出台符合居民利益的规划政策。
他们剩下的只有拙劣的宣传单
并非所有文化都平等。例如，有些文化将女性视为二等公民或供男性性交的对象。
在多年左翼将此类问题提及者贴上“极右”或“种族主义”标签后——如“粉红女士”在埃平贝尔酒店外抗议，因一名14岁女孩遭性侵后该酒店被用作移民中心——他们似乎终于意识到问题。
英国内政部刚刚发布了一本小册子，向寻求庇护者解释强奸和骚扰在英国属于违法行为。公众更希望政府忘掉这些小册子，直接拘留并遣返这些男性。
但我们至少应欢迎左翼最终意识到这些男性对英国妇女和女童构成的威胁。
豪宅税是对自由的侵犯
如果你认为自己已经感受到这个高税收、高支出的工党政府带来的大部分痛苦，那你错了。更多的苦难还在后头。英国国家统计局最新数据显示，本周政府债务已飙升至3万亿英镑——比去年同期增加了950亿英镑，而安迪·伯纳姆似乎决心像挥霍无度的水手一样花钱。
因此，为了支付工党在福利、安置非法移民和各种浪费的虚荣项目上的慷慨开支，他们即将推出豪宅税。
豪宅税最初可能只针对价值200万英镑或以上的住宅，但不久之后就会变成针对100万英镑住宅的税，再往后就是£3的税。这只会像雷切尔·里夫斯在2024年的首个400亿英镑减税预算一样——表面上是“一次性”措施，但紧接着她的下一个预算又增加了260亿英镑的税收。
豪宅税本身就够糟糕了，更何况它将迫使许多资产丰富但现金短缺的人卖掉祖传多年的房子。新的“估值官”将拥有闯入民宅四处窥探的权力，若房主不配合，还会处以200 万英镑00至£500的罚款。这对自由和私有财产的侵犯前所未有。
这看起来像是意识形态上的报复，因为它实际上不会带来多少收入。到2028 / 29财年，工党希望通过对165,000名房主征收额外4 亿英镑至200 万英镑000的年税（针对价值超过200万英镑的住宅）来筹集4亿英镑。
但泄露的英国财政部内部数据显示，实施这项税收的成本将高达3.8 亿英镑，且在筹集到一分钱之前就已支出。因此，如果一切按计划进行，2028 / 29财年仅能筹集2000万英镑——考虑到当前这帮小丑掌权，我对此深表怀疑。
这£380的成本包括：印花税损失2.15 亿英镑、前期行政成本100 万英镑50以及遗产税减少6500 万英镑。虽然部分价值局的100 万英镑50成本将作为前期投入（如软件开发），但大部分将是持续性支出——员工工资、办公楼租金，且预计房主的“上诉激增”将带来额外的法庭成本。此外，这些估值将每五年进行一次。
因此，工党将在2028 / 29财年通过压榨165,000名房主筹集2000万英镑，却要为一栋建筑——北区10号——每年浪费1.1 亿英镑。另一份白厅泄露文件估计，仅警察维护该建筑的费用就将达每年1500 万英镑，部长们的差旅费约2500 万英镑，公务员搬迁补偿每人£3000至£5000，以及专业社交媒体制作人员的费用预计每年再2500 万英镑。
因此，我对工党高层的建议是：停止这项报复性的豪宅税，停止对自食其力者的攻击，并终止在曼彻斯特设立毫无必要的北区10号——这样所有纳税人都能受益。
毕业生就业荒再次证明“工党无所作为”
毕业生正面临有记录以来最糟糕的就业市场。仅在7月，针对大学毕业生的岗位发布量为8,383个——相比去年下降了45%。而与此同时，有创纪录的262,820名学生即将在下个月开始攻读学位。这种毕业生就业荒是工党就业税和“自入职第一天起即引入劳工权利”政策的必然结果。
现在，随着就业受损的种种严峻证据摆在眼前，工党必须废除这些政策。否则，明年我们将有另外25万名毕业生背负巨额债务却找不到工作。
这真是一个令人震惊且令人担忧的局面。工党再次证明“无所作为”。

阿加莎·克里斯蒂的曾孙詹姆斯·普里查德（James Pritchard）将担任执行制片人。在戴维·苏切特（David Sochiet）标志性的演绎之后，他和布鲁梅尔面临着巨大的压力，但作为一名波洛粉丝，我真心希望他们能成功。

哈里王子正准备回国，毫无疑问将引发更多骚动。
有说法称梅根也回来了，为了在盖·里奇（Guy Ritchie）的一部 Netflix 系列剧中担任演员——但这似乎还未确定。也许她只是需要一个除了两人都在认错道歉之外的理由来登上飞机。
好消息是，在海格罗夫（Highgrove）与国王的会面没有被泄露，这对哈里以及他重新加入“公司”（the Firm）的机会来说是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。
坏消息是，威廉和凯特似乎仍然不热衷于欢迎他回归。难道是因为他们不希望一个改过自新、渴望工作的哈里回来，因为这会迫使他们多做一些工作？
在过去的一年里，年近 80 岁的国王参加了535场活动。威廉参加了202场，凯特仅参加了2场。
是时候让他们提高表现了，而哈里回国带来的竞争或许正好能起到作用。

奈杰尔·法拉奇是我有生之年最优秀的英国政治传播者之一。这不仅因为他无可挑剔的演讲技巧，更在于他习惯性地在重大议题上站在正确的一方，而他的对手们则在挣扎和安抚中迷失方向。
诚然，他也有一些荒谬的言行，比如受安德鲁·泰特（Andrew Tate）启发对南港谋杀案的笨拙干预。但总体而言，他确实看得准。小船危机？他看得准。净零狂热？他看得准。言论自由？他看得准。或者说，他曾经看得准。
然而，近来有迹象表明，改革英国党（Reform UK）在新闻自由和言论自由问题上正在迷失方向。
媒体同行注意到，在克拉克顿补选前，法拉奇对记者大发雷霆，指责记者在接触其家人时越界，这显示出他变得异常敏感。
他那次脾气暴躁的挑衅，最终与"垃圾桶候选人"（Count Binface）上演了一场对决，这让一些人认为他不再是那个善于在酒吧里接受采访的媒体宠儿。
在克拉克顿竞选期间，这位"脱欧先生"在热门播客《三角测量》上大肆抨击媒体失职。考虑到这是在安·威德康姆遇害后不久，以及法拉奇收到的大量死亡威胁，或许我们不能奢望他在悲痛和压力之下仍能保持对言论自由的理性立场。
或许我们也不应因他在如此境况下的情绪失控而谴责他，更不应就此对其内心真实的新闻观下任何结论——这些结论或许只有在平静时刻才能得出。
但不久之后，人们或许难以相信改革英国党真的关心新闻自由与构建第四权的言论自由。
英国通信管理局（Ofcom）目前正在代表法拉奇调查天空新闻台，后者被指控骚扰其女儿——在其收到加密货币大亨克里斯托弗·哈伯恩（Christopher Harborne）捐赠的£5后，记者上门试图与其女儿对话。
当然，若发现任何不当行为，就应采取行动。但若未发现任何问题，这看起来更像是一名政者试图利用标准采访流程——敲开亲属的门，希望与新闻主体对话——来钳制媒体。
社交媒体似乎只为展示愚蠢而存在。还有什么能比抖音博主们拍摄自己飙车的视频更能说明问题？许多人会对这种危及生命的行为感到震惊。但这种担忧对参与其中的蠢货们毫无作用。
我们应明确告诉他们：因在喜欢的应用上获得"点赞"而获得短暂快感，就冒着数年牢狱之灾的风险，这种行为有多愚蠢。
他们大可穿上印有"为何应被文明社会抛弃"字样的T恤。他们毫无价值可言。每次他们拍摄这些愚蠢的特技，都暴露了他们永远无法做到这一点的事实。
作为记者，我敲过无数次门——结果并不总是愉快。对记者敲门提问的敌意是一种自然反应。至少，这令人恼火。
然而，若我们希望生活在这样一个国家——政治家和机构受到制约，并因不当行为而被追责——这种敌意完全是必要之恶。这是生活在自由开放民主国家的必要代价之一。
若法拉奇的赌博失败，且未发现任何不当行为，这件事看起来不过是一名政客试图在黑暗中为所欲为的企图。
过去10年，美国和英国的右翼一直自诩为自由的旗手。尤其是在言论自由方面，新闻自由与之密不可分。
这种局面在很大程度上是由左翼的“取消文化”所致，同时也是因为布莱尔时代的法律（如《2003年通信法》）将言论定为刑事犯罪。我担心，右翼对言论自由的支持有相当一部分并非基于原则立场，而是出于对左翼所作所为的对抗。
幸运的是，右翼阵营中有人真正理解这一点。Kemi Badenoch 已公开谈及对新闻自由的攻击，并成为我这一行业的捍卫者。讽刺的是，法拉奇（Farage）凭借对重大问题的正确判断树立了声誉，却可能发现自己被他长期试图摑毁的政党超越。

为乌克兰自由而战

亲克里姆林宫英国人在无人机袭击中身亡
撰稿：托比·科多
一名男子成为首位为俄罗斯军队在乌克兰阵亡的英国人。
布拉德利·汤森德（见插图），自称是“一个再普通不过的约克郡小伙子”，在顿涅茨克地区的一场无人机袭击中丧生。
这名33岁的男子来自巴恩斯利，于4月离家前往罗马尼亚后，转而为弗拉基米尔·普京而战。但据报道，他系通过英国亲俄武装分子迈尼斯和本·斯廷森在线招募。
汤森德此前无任何军事经验，于6月10日阵亡。
一个与俄罗斯相关的社交媒体账号
证实了汤森德的死讯，并称他“为事业献出了生命”。
今年初在与迈尼斯的视频采访中，汤森德承认自己“或许再也回不了家”。
他说：“我不是来执行自杀任务的，但我知道那可能会发生。这是我自己的决定，没有人逼我。”
基辅袭击俄罗斯巨型零售枢纽
撰稿：威尔·斯图尔特
乌克兰昨日在独立日之际对三大俄罗斯在线购物枢纽发动了大规模无人机袭击。
基辅的远程打击目标包括南部地区阿迪格、达吉斯坦和斯塔夫罗波尔的亚马逊式巨头Ozon。这是乌克兰连续第三天袭击庞大的Ozon枢纽。
乌克兰无人机还在克拉斯诺达尔市引燃了一家名为Kucharsland的家居用品连锁仓库。
一架坠落的无人机碎片击中一家儿童中心，造成两名儿童死亡、七人受伤。
在一架疑似克里姆林宫无人机越过摩尔多瓦领空后，北约在罗马尼亚紧急出动两架F-16战机。
布加勒斯特方面表示：“罗马尼亚空军第86空军基地（驻博尔恰）的两架F-16战机及一架IAR-330 SOCAT直升机已紧急升空监控局势。”
此外，乌克兰还用超过40架无人机猛袭俄罗斯北部阿尔汉格尔斯克地区的普列谢茨克军事航天发射场。
伯纳姆呼吁美国加大对乌克兰援助力度
英国首相言论或激怒特朗普总统
撰稿：安迪·伯纳姆
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆在呼吁美国加大对乌克兰援助力度之际，可能激怒美国总统唐纳德·特朗普。
昨日，首相敦促华盛顿进一步加强制裁并向基辅提供更多武器和防空导弹。
此番言论恰逢特朗普反复表示欧洲盟友需为防务掏更多腰包之际。
伯纳姆还驳斥了俄罗斯威胁，莫斯科此前声称英国现已积极参战。
在首次出访乌克兰期间，伯纳姆表示：“我们确实与美国同事就此局势进行了对话，并将继续这样做。
“他们已提供资金支持和防御性援助，这将持续下去。”
但他补充道：“我认为我们需要共同进一步加大力度，因为乌克兰面临一些紧迫问题。
“当务之急是防空支持，即反弹道导弹支持。
“同时也需要财政支持，因此我们将竭尽所能召集各方共同分担这一负担。
“我们将继续提供坚定不移的支持。”
伯纳姆在基辅主持了“志愿联盟”首次会议，并向乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基移交了关于英国组件在SCALP导弹中使用情况的机密信息。他表示该联盟正在“竭尽所能”挖掘自身库存并帮助他人。
近几个月来，乌克兰的拦截导弹库存已告急，全球大量库存已因2月伊朗战争爆发后被转移至中东。
后果
但其部队现在将能够使用这些远程武器的蓝图，对俄罗斯境内的深层目标发动打击。
莫斯科指责伦敦破坏和平努力，并表示首相通过援助乌克兰是在为冲突“火上浇油”。俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盒·拉夫罗夫表示，该国将英国导弹部队的“直接参与”视为“参与战争，并将产生一切后果”。
克里姆林宫还威胁要摧毁制造这些组件的工厂。
昨天，在乌克兰独立日当天，伯纳姆先生感谢该国“所采取的令人难以置信的立场”。
他说：“我的国家在20世纪捍卫了欧洲自由的火炬。而你们在21世纪守护着这份火炬。
“尽管俄罗斯对我的国家发出了无耻的威胁，我们仍将继续支持乌克兰。”
他补充道：“乌克兰一直是欧洲的守护者——它不是我们安全的负担，而是欧洲安全的前线。
“乌克兰人民不仅值得我们继续支持，更值得我们的感激与尊重。”
同样在昨天，泽连斯基先生向伯纳姆先生颁发了一项表彰英国支持的奖项。在其独立日演讲中，乌克兰领导人表示该国“不会屈服”于俄罗斯，坚称：“乌克兰人民不会成为沙皇和统治者脚下的铺路石。”

荷兰因以色列冲突退出2027年欧洲歌唱大赛
荷兰已连续第二年退出欧洲歌唱大赛。
荷兰公共广播机构阿芙洛特罗斯似乎将此决定归咎于以色列继续参与该赛事。
该广播机构在一份声明中表示：“阿芙洛特罗斯将不会参加2027年欧洲歌唱大赛，因为该赛事已不再具中立性，参赛国中仍有一国卷入大规模军事冲突。”
阿芙洛特罗斯总干事塔科·齐默尔曼补充道：“欧洲歌唱大赛最初创立的目的是将人们和国家团结起来。
“不可否认，国际冲突正日益影响该赛事，削弱其中立特性。
“因此，欧洲歌唱大赛已沦为分裂的平台。作为公共广播机构，我们仍坚守自身价值观。
“这些价值观指引着我们的一切行动，即使这意味着我们必须放弃一个我们深爱的赛事。
“这是痛苦的，因为我们本希望明年能再次参与其中。”
今年在奥地利维也纳举办的赛事中，荷兰是众多因以色列在加沙地区的行动而抵制该赛事的国家之一，冰岛、西班牙、爱尔兰和斯洛文尼亚也拒绝参赛。
明年欧洲歌唱大赛将在缅甸和保加利亚举办，此前该国歌手凭借歌曲《班戈朗加》赢得了今年的冠军。以色列的诺姆·贝坦以歌曲《米切内》获得亚军。
目标
然而，已知约有13种高危型别可导致99.7%的宫颈癌。
符合条件的30至65岁未接受筛查的女性将通过NHS应用程序、短信、电子邮件或信件收到邀请。
随后她们可通过NHS应用程序或在线订购检测套盒。此分阶段推广是NHS在2040年消除宫颈癌目标的一部分。NHS英格兰国家女性健康临床总监苏·曼博士表示：“筛查通过预防癌症和早期发现挽救成千上万人的生命，但仅有约三分之二的女性在NHS邀请时参与筛查。
‘为数百万女性提供可在家中舒适完成的替代检测将成为改变游戏规则的举措——让她们更轻松地接受检测。’”
24至64岁的女性每五年接受一次宫颈筛查。NHS英格兰最新数据显示，68.8%的符合条件女性按时完成检查，低于80%的目标。
这意味着约有400万女性未按时完成检查。
曼博士表示：“有许多原因可能阻止女性接受宫颈筛查——尴尬、缺乏时间或对不适的担忧——这些检测套盒提供了便利的选择。”
Gem Sofianos-Boorman在28岁时收到宫颈筛查邀请后被诊断出宫颈癌。现年39岁的她表示：“前往筛查挽救了我的生命。”

睡眠模式的工业革命
研究发现，工业革命永远改变了睡眠时间而非睡眠时长。
研究显示，生活在三个狩猎采集社会且未使用电灯的人平均每晚睡眠时长在6.4至7.1小时之间，与工业化地区的平均水平相似或更少。
但他们比城市地区的人更早起床和入睡——遵循昼夜光照循环。
研究人员指出，19世纪中叶工业化地区人们的平均一天被认为由八小时工作、八小时休息和八小时睡眠组成。
睡眠障碍
尽管当时从未研究过睡眠模式，这一理论已成为常识。
来自印度莫哈利昌迪加尔大学的研究作者Seithikurippu Pandi-Perumal博士表示：“将工业化睡眠与工业化前睡眠区分开来的是睡眠发生的时间以及其可靠的重复性，而非其时长。”
研究表明，工业化导致睡眠时间推迟、日常规律性下降、对自然光的同步性减弱，以及可诊断的睡眠障碍变得更常见。
但研究发现，睡眠总时长变化最小。
该研究由国际研究团队完成，并提出气候变化可能导致睡眠障碍增加。
该研究发表于《脑与医学》期刊。
《横跨世界》节目明星在儿子去世一年后离世
“她活得充实而激烈……她是我们的快乐，我们绝对的珍宝”
《世界竞速》明星乔·加德纳（Jo Gardiner）于61岁离世，一年前她的儿子兼搭档萨姆在车祸中丧生。
这对母子曾在2020年参加BBC全球旅行竞赛节目的第二季，一同穿越南美。
乔的家人昨日透露，她“在与癌症长期而勇敢的抗争后”离世。
他们将这位来自曼彻斯特的理疗师描述为“勇敢无畏的冒险家”，并赞其“勇敢、善良、机智且无尽的爱”。
声明继续写道：“她拥有罕见的天赋，能让身边每个人都感受到更强的活力。她活得充实而激烈，从不半途而废。
“她拥有无数朋友，所有人都被她非凡的魅力所吸引。
每个人都仿佛觉得自己是她最好的朋友。
“对我们而言，她不仅仅是这些。她是我们的家人，是我们的快乐，是我们的避风港，是我们绝对的珍宝。
“我们知道乔深受爱戴，也因知道她的笑声、勇气、善良与无比奔放的精神将在她触及的众多人心中永存而倍感安慰。
“她是独一无二的。世上再无第二个她。”
乔的儿子幸存下来。与她同台竞技的萨姆去年6月去世，享年24岁。
母子俩参加《世界竞速》是因为乔希望与患有多动症的萨姆共度一段旅行冒险。
他们与另外四对选手同场竞技，赛程从墨西哥城一路向南至阿根廷的乌斯怀亚。
乔与萨姆参加了节目的第二季
乔在与癌症长期抗争后离世
《世界竞速》发言人表示：“我们向乔的儿子及其家人与朋友致以最深切的慰问。
“在乔的儿子萨姆去年不幸离世后，我们怀念萨姆与乔在第二季中的核心地位。
“数百万人在2020年见证了他们横跨拉丁美洲的变革之旅，我们将这份记忆珍藏于心，并深情回忆乔对生活的热忱、她的善良、坚韧，以及她对萨姆与家人的无尽奉献。
“拍摄期间，萨姆曾形容他的母亲了不起——这也是我们永远铭记她的方式。
“乔成为了《世界竞速》演播家族的‘家长’：她在众多生命中留下了持久的遗产，无论是通过节目还是在此之外。能够分享她的故事是我们的荣幸，她将深深铭刻在我们心中。”

非法香烟与电子烟价值£100 万被查获
一项针对迅速增长的非法香烟与电子烟贸易的严打行动，在过去12个月内于一座城市缴获价值£1的货物。
大曼彻斯特警察局的突击行动缴获了£1的香烟，其中许多藏匿于液压伪装墙、天花板和地板后方以逃避侦测。
警方还在"埃尔斯威克行动"中缴获了£1的非法电子烟、£1的水烟、£1的散装烟草以及£1的其他假冒商品。此次行动由警员与曼彻斯特贸易标准局联合执行。
该行动启动于情报显示曼彻斯特市内持续且日益严重的问题之后。
行动汇集了大曼彻斯特警察局地区情报团队、贸易标准局、曼彻斯特市议会及侦测犬"WagTail"。相关线索还移交英国税务海关总署（HMRC），确保采取协调一致的方法，旨在长期破坏犯罪活动。
该策略已导致多家商店被移交税务部门，面临最高£1罚款，多处场所因屡次违规现已收到停业通知。
大曼彻斯特"挑战者行动"单位负责人、侦缉总督察克里斯·伍德本表示："这是一项整合行动，旨在打击非法电子烟与香烟。
"缴获总额现已超过100 万英镑，我们深知这将对当地非法活动造成重大打击，并传递明确信号：我们绝不容忍此类行为。
"我们将继续致力于此项工作，因为我们承诺要解决非法电子烟与香烟问题——这些商品不仅资助更广泛的犯罪活动，还危害公众健康。
"我呼吁公众如发现任何相关销售线索，请向犯罪举报中心举报，可拨打0800 555 111匿名举报。"
曼彻斯特市议会社区事务执行委员巴萨特·谢赫表示："从一开始，‘埃尔斯威克行动’就展现了曼彻斯特市议会与大曼彻斯特警察局强强合作能取得的成果。
"我们已在破坏通过销售劣质、潜在危险商品谋利的犯罪网络方面取得重大进展。
"缴获价值逾£1的非法产品是一个重要里程碑，也是两个机构警员们付出努力的证明。
"我们将继续开展这项不懈工作，保护居民、支持合法本地企业，并确保曼彻斯特的安全。"

无人机即将抓捕铁路破坏者并减少中断
作者：克里斯·里奇斯
警方正在铁路沿线部署空中无人机，以抓捕造成延误的破坏者。
这些飞行设备被存放在铁轨附近的防水盒中，当接到报告时，远在伦敦数百英里外的飞行员可远程发射无人机。
自英国运输警察局于2025年4月在利兹启动首个无人机基地以来，已在伦敦南部和莱斯特增设四个站点。
目前曼彻斯特也已加入，空中之眼正监控该市西北部——这里是中断事件的高发区。
露西·D'Orsi 首席警监表示，自4月以来的平均响应时间为3分28秒。
她补充道：“The fundamental difference is we wouldn't be able to get officers there that quick.
“We're just over a year on from our first site launch in Leeds and it's great to see our remote drone capability is helping us reach incidents faster, make better decisions and minimise disruption to the railway while keeping people safe.”
在4月1日至7月25日期间，该系统共进行了550次飞行，无人机通常在68%的出警中第一时间到达现场。
英国运输警察局无人机负责人西蒙·巴彻尔表示，一大优势在于能迅速确认铁轨上是否有人，从而避免冗长检查和运输延误。
无人机还被用于协助寻找易受伤害的人员。

高街咖啡的咖啡因含量堪比四罐红牛
Costa的中杯卡布奇诺咖啡因含量最高
研究显示，某些连锁店的咖啡咖啡因含量可能相当于四罐能量饮料红牛。
消费者组织《Which?》对Caffe Nero、Costa、Greggs、Pret和星巴克的拿铁、浓缩咖啡、卡布奇诺、滤泡咖啡、美式咖啡、平白咖啡和抹茶的咖啡因含量进行了研究。
Costa的中杯卡布奇诺咖啡因含量最高，达每杯325毫克，约相当于四罐红牛（每罐80毫克）的咖啡因含量，是星巴克卡布奇诺（89毫克）的3.5倍。
排名第二和第三的分别是Greggs（235毫克）和Caffe Nero（221毫克）。
想要摄入浓缩咖啡因的人可以选择Pret的50毫升浓缩咖啡（180毫克）、Costa的30毫升浓缩咖啡（100毫克）、Greggs的75毫克、Caffe Nero的67毫克，而星巴克的24毫升浓缩咖啡仅含45毫克。星巴克的中杯拿铁咖啡因含量也最低，为354毫升中含89毫克，相比之下，Costa为200毫克，Greggs的略大份量为208毫克，Caffe Nero为175毫克，Pret为180毫克。
中杯美式咖啡的咖啡因含量从星巴克的89毫克到Costa的325毫克不等。专家建议因健康原因（包括怀孕）需限制咖啡因摄入的人避免饮用高浓度咖啡。
英国心脏基金会表示，400毫克咖啡因是安全摄入量上限。
《Which?》健康与福祉专家杰西卡·卡森表示：“我们的研究显示，不同连锁店的咖啡因含量差异巨大。”
Costa表示致力于帮助人们做出明智选择，并补充道：“我们菜单和线上均提供咖啡因和营养信息。”

詹姆斯·诺顿表示，参与《龙之家族》的拍摄感觉就像置身于一个宏大而性感的马戏团。这位41岁的演员在HBO热门剧集第三季中饰演奥蒙德·海托ower勋爵，他表示这部奇幻史诗最令人惊叹之处在于其制作规模之宏大。
他说道：“布景的搭建令人叹为观止，盔甲、宝剑，一切都近乎完美。
“这种剧集让你获得充分支持。人员众多，成千上万。
“从某种意义上说，我觉得自己仿佛加入了一个庞大的马戏团，但它是世界上最大、最棒、最性感的马戏团。
“这里有各种特技、机械和道具，无所不有。所以很有趣。它是个巨大的老式游乐场。”
“我从未在这样的片场工作过。”
而詹姆斯对位于赫特福德郡利文斯登华纳兄弟制片厂搭建的这座宏大布景的细节之精湛感到震惊。
他补充道：“我的主要布景是一个名为坦伯顿的地方，那是一个占地约四分之三英亩的建筑。他们基本上造了一座城镇。你可以在镇里散步。步行大约需要10到15分钟，你会穿过不同的街道，偶尔我会发现一扇门，打开后里面竟然是一件精美的雕刻品。
“有人在这扇门上花费了数小时。而我心想，‘这绝对不会出现在镜头里’。”
“但是对我来说，当我站在门口等待进入场景时，看到它，实际上提升了我的表演水准。”
他说道，真正的压力在于融入一个粉丝们了如指掌的世界——该剧最新一季于本月早些时候收官，是根据乔治·R·R·马丁的奇幻小说改编的《权力的游戏》的前传。
詹姆斯在BBC世界服务《艺术时光》节目中表示：“其中一种压力在于，你清楚自己永远不可能像铁杆粉丝那样了解这个世界。
“你可以研究[相关内容]，但总会有一群人比你了解得更多。
“那种压力我尝试去应对，但最终放弃了。从某种意义上说，你反而能放松下来。”
詹姆斯目前正在参与另一部大制作，在萨姆·门德斯执导的新电影《披头士乐队》中饰演乐队经理布赖恩·爱泼斯坦。他曾在巴塞罗那与扮演“甲壳虫乐队”四位成员的年轻演员们一起拍摄了五周，并表示在项目中玩得非常尽兴。
保罗·梅斯卡尔饰演保罗·麦卡特尼，哈里斯·迪金森饰演约翰·列侬，巴里·
由基尔·马迪撰写
林戈·斯塔尔和约瑟夫·奎因饰演乔治·哈里森。詹姆斯如此评价他们：“这些小伙子们太了不起了。他们自己演奏所有曲目。他们花了大量时间学习乐器。
“保罗·梅斯卡尔用左手弹贝斯，他把吉他翻了过来。他们玩得非常开心。”
詹姆斯是一位热衷于冷水游泳的人，几乎每天都会在伦敦南部的家附近游泳。他在巴塞罗那拍摄现场充分利用了冰浴的机会。他说道：“太棒了。
《龙之家族》化妆场景
“这些小伙子们在台上表演，动作很剧烈。我在一旁观看，满怀敬意。但只要你在片场站久了，再没有什么比跳进冰冷的水里更舒服的了。”
导演萨姆·门德斯正在拍摄四部电影，每部都从乐队成员的视角出发，将于2028年上映。索尔希尔·罗南饰演琳达·麦卡特尼，安娜·萨怀饰演小野洋子。
詹姆斯因在《哈利谷》中饰演杀手汤米·李·罗伊斯而成名，并在2015年获得了英国电影学院奖提名。
他曾在《格兰奇福特》中饰演牧师，在BBC版《战争与和平》中饰演安德烈亲王，在《麦克马菲亚》中饰演黑帮儿子。
他主演了由《唐顿庄园》创作者史蒂文·奈特打造的Netflix剧集《健力士之家》，并在1066年史诗巨制《国王与征服者》中饰演哈罗德一角，与前《权力的游戏》明星尼古拉·科斯特-瓦尔道饰演的征服者威廉对手戏。

LOOKMAKERS曾看好他成为下一任詹姆斯·邦德，但他已明确表示不可能。他说道：“我可以诚实地说，绝对不可能。我觉得自己可能年纪有点大了。”
尽管他行事低调，但外界所知他曾与女演员伊莫金·普茨订婚，两人相恋约五年，但在2023年分手。
他说道：“我失去了那个人，也失去了即将开启的生活，还有我们为孩子起的名字。”
詹姆斯在22岁时被诊断出患有1型糖尿病，现为“突破T1D”慈善组织的大使，并为儿童朗读CBeebies的睡前故事，帮助他们理解这种他母亲和妹妹也患有的疾病。
但他坚称：“我从未想过这种病会拖累我。”

伦敦动物园的毛皮与鳞片
伦敦动物园的一群好奇的企鹅正在称重，看看它们是否"胖了一圈"。
它们是动物园10,000名居民中的一部分，昨日在动物园年度"称重日"接受了体检。
每一只哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物、鱼类和无脊椎动物都接受了测量，称重设备巧妙地隐藏在栖息地中，确保动物能够踏上称台。
有些动物会被训练踩上称台，而鸟类的称台则隐藏在门口。一只玻利维亚黑帽松鼠猴在称重时被放置在栖木上，而兄妹水豚Gizmo和Kiwi则被用最喜欢的食物引诱上秤。
动物园内有超过4,000个物种，所有动物都会定期称重和测量，以监测它们的健康状况、发育情况并识别是否怀孕。
动物园最小的动物是Partula蜗牛，体重不足1克。所有测量数据都会被录入一个与全球保护组织共享的系统。
动物园动物运营经理丹尼尔·西蒙兹表示："定期称重有助于动物饲养员追踪动物的健康状况，真正帮助我们管理动物的护理，在我们的保护工作中发挥着至关重要的作用。"
伦敦动物园由伦敦动物学会运营，今年早些时候庆祝了成立200周年。伦敦动物园本身于1828年开园。

DAY57
我为此准备了多年，但当这一天真正到来时，我却发现自己完全没有准备好。在我的家人和我都未察觉的情况下，陪伴我们近14年的泰迪，成为了我们生活中十余年的背景音。他踩在木地板上的脚步声，以及我们能按手表时间等待的晚餐呜咽声，曾陪伴我们度过每一个特别的时刻。
从结婚、为人父母、生日、圣诞节到孩子们的第一天上学，泰迪始终与我们同在。
直到某一天，他不在了。
突然间，我不必再叮嘱孩子们关上前门以防泰迪跑出去，因为泰迪已经离开了。掉在地上的食物现在必须用手清理，那些无意中渗入我日常意识的声音，在短短一小时内消失了，取而代之的是一种让我至今难以接受的不安静默。
泰迪是被动归我所有的。2012年，我当时的女友（如今的妻子）在冲动之下从一家人那里领养了他——那家人原本是想把他作为生日礼物送人，却未曾想过如何真正照顾他。
所有人都劝她别这么做，但看到他那张脸以及当她像抱泰迪熊一样（因此得名）拥抱他时毛茸茸的触感，她决定无视理智与旁人的劝阻。
几个月后我们搬到一起生活，之后的一切便成为了历史。
泰迪很快从我女友的狗变成了我最好的伙伴。每当听到"公园"这个词，这只平日里温顺的狗就会像跳萨尔萨舞一样摇晃瘦削的身体，而他对香蕉的热爱则意味着只要隔壁房间有一丝香蕉被打开的气味，就能将他从沉睡中唤醒。
他又傻又聪明。
多年来，他平和的性格让他成为疲惫幼童永久的休息场所。在他离世后，当我翻看相册时，我震惊地发现，有多少照片是我的两个儿子——艾伯特和加布里埃尔——将头或脚搭在他身上的画面。随着他们长大，角色互换，也有同样多的照片是他趴在他们腿上。
失去一只宠物与失去任何其他东西都不一样。我曾作为士兵见证他人死亡，也曾与塑造今日我的亲人告别，但这次截然不同。
一项研究发现，在同时失去宠物和至亲的人中，超过五分之一表示宠物的离世是他们经历过的最痛苦的丧失。
将祖母（我敬爱的奥利维亚外婆）的离世与一只狗的离世相提并论，总觉不妥。
但事实是，尽管我试图说服自己并非如此，但失去泰迪给我的打击比我经历过的任何事情都要沉重。
这并不是因为我不爱我的娜娜——因为我确实无比爱她，但她住在数百英里之外。我不会在清晨醒来时发现她趴在我的脚边，不会在每晚做饭时被她绊倒，也不会在每次坐到沙发上时看到她坐在身旁。
对于我和许多人来说，失去宠物之所以如此痛苦，是因为它们总是陪伴在身边。无论是好时光、坏时光还是平凡的日常，它们都在背景中存在。
它们的气味、毛发和玩具充斥着房子的每一个角落，让这里成为家，因此失去它们的痛苦挥之不去。
Mark Vahrmeyer，作为
我目睹过战友死去，但宠物的离世让我无法承受……
五分之一的人表示，失去心爱的宠物比失去人类更痛苦。陆军退伍军人、《每日快报》高级记者CONOR WILSON缅怀他刚刚离世的泰迪，并探讨失去人类最佳朋友的悲痛。
心理治疗师专门帮助人们克服丧亲之痛，上个月却在现实中经历了这一过程——当他的灵缇犬萨尔（Sull）被实施安乐死时。
他告诉我：“悲伤的难处之一在于，我们常期待它遵循逻辑，仿佛痛苦的强度应与关系的等级层次相对应。
“从心理学角度看，悲伤并非如此运作。我们会根据依恋的性质及该关系在我们生活中所占的位置来哀悼。因此，经历宠物之死可能同样深刻，甚至有时比人类之死更甚。
“一只宠物可能每天陪伴我们10年或15年，与我们共同经历关系变化、住所迁徙、职业发展和家庭生活。它们已融入日常存在的织锦之中。”
依我之见，失去的不仅是陪伴，更是一种目标感的丧失。曾长期塑造我日常生活的某些纽带，在几小时内便消失无踪。我的每一天不再从一只饥饿的狗敲击食盆开始，也不再以我放它到花园小便结束。
“最痛苦的，是一种持续14年以上塑造我们生活的日常突然消失。
“一只宠物可能是每天迎接你的生灵，陪你走过成千上万次散步，默默见证你十年或更长时间的生活。失去它们不仅意味着失去所爱之人，还意味着失去某种特定的日常生活版本。”
在过去几年里，我越来越意识到泰迪的黄金岁月已成往昔。
我拥抱他更紧了，拍了更多照片，有时试图沉浸于他的存在感——仿佛捕捉一段可能缓解那如乌云般笼罩地平线的痛苦的记忆。在这种情况下，他做的那些傻事带来的恼怒被一种“知道总有一天会怀念它们”的感受稀释了。
无论是清理他滚进恶臭东西后的全身，还是走进厨房发现垃圾桶被掀翻、里面的东西洒了一地，仍然让人恼火——但我知道总有一天，这些会变成有趣的轶事。而这一天如今已到来。在一份我确信在过去25年里至少让两位兽医忙碌不停的健康记录背景下，我对其不可避免的死亡早有预期。
有好几次我在脑海中质疑，最新的疾病或治疗是否会成为他的最后一次，而我在很多方面早已开始处理悲伤，哪怕它尚未发生。
正如我在过去几周学到的许多事情那样，这也是常见的现象，被称为“预期性悲伤”。
亚历克斯·弗里斯从未有过孩子。这并非因为她无法生育，而是生活的安排恰好如此，直到她决定不再将为人母纳入未来规划。
因此，她的“国王”巴兹尔（Basil）成了她母性之爱的承受者，在她父亲悲剧性且突然离世后的黑暗时光中带来一丝光明。
巴兹尔的健康状况日益恶化，包括越来越频繁的癫痫发作，再加上父亲和其他宠物的离世，让她更加深刻地感受到生命的脆弱，以及死亡在其中扮演的必然角色。
亚历克斯说：“巴兹尔会睡在床上，而且经常过来睡在我旁边。
有时，如果我度过了糟糕的一天或者感到悲伤，我会躺在那里看着他，突然变得异常难过，因为我会想：“他就快不在了。”
在巴兹生命的最后几个月里，亚历克斯守护着他，像新生儿的母亲守护生病的婴儿一样，警醒地睡在他身旁。
她补充道：“事后，我的实际感受并没有我想象的那么糟糕。
“可是我为此感到极度内疚。‘天啊，也许我没有够爱他。为什么我没有哭得更多？’
“不过我想我当时处于震惊状态。而且我认为我在他在世时已经为他悲伤得太久了，所以现在也有一丝解脱。
“我再也不用害怕上床睡觉了。他也不再受那种痛苦折磨了。”
DLANE James在Blue Cross担任人事服务主管，帮助人们面对宠物的离世。
她说：“最重要的是，人们要理解自己的感受是正常的。每个人都不一样。
“一个人如何面对失去，是立刻还是很久之后再养另一只宠物，完全是个人选择。没有所谓正确的哀悼方式。它对你而言是独一无二的，但这种感受是正常的。”
最明显的问题——事后看来，我会建议人们在刚失去宠物后不要立刻问这个问题——“你会再养一只吗？”
当然，这个问题出于善意——孩子们在巴兹去世约两小时后就问了这个问题——但在最初的日子和几周里，这种痛苦太过强烈，无法像更换坏掉的洗碗机那样考虑再养一只。
在特迪去世三周后，我希望另一只狗会在我们家的未来中出现。
悲伤的痛苦显然让我妻子永远失去了养狗的兴趣，但我希望这种情况会改变。
虽然我不想听起来像是自助播客里的老生常谈，但悲伤本身也是一种幸运。
我是多么幸运，能够如此深爱一只傻乎乎的四脚动物，以至于当我突然被某个关于它的记忆击中时，我会感到胸口被重击一般。
失去特迪是我经历过的最艰难的事情。
但与他为我的家庭带来的14年纯粹的爱、快乐和傻气相比，我会毫不犹豫地再次经历这一切。

500年历史的水磨坊为茶室供应糕点
Heritage champions David and Kathy Jones rose to the challenge of taking on a 500-year-old watermill – baking delicious cakes and buns from its flour.
They have run Hele Cornmill and Tearoom in Ilfracombe since 2011, after moving to Devon from London for a new life.
The grade II-listed plant was built for the first Earl of Bath, John Bouchier, and operated up until the mid-1930s when it fell into dereliction.
It was restored by local Chris Lovell in the 1970s but by the time the Jones family arrived, it had ground to a halt.
Kathy and David began their continuing repairs and now mill heritage wheat Maris Wigeon, grown in Dorset and powered by their neighbouring river. The flour is baked into cakes and bread, including Devonshire splits – sweet rolls filled with cream and jam – sold at their award-winning tearoom. Kathy has also made around 100,000 scones from bought flour.
David said: "Carrying sacks of wheat when you're in your late 60s gets harder and harder.
"We have a pact that if we both say we want to sell it and keep that up for three months, we'd put it on the market. But there's always one of us who breaks and says, 'I can't sell'. I'm very proud, I like the idea of looking after national heritage. The watermill keeps us on our toes."

然后我为此感到极其内疚。
“我想，‘天啊，也许我没有足够爱他。为什么我没有哭得更多？’”
“可是我认为自己当时处于震惊状态。而且我认为在他在世时我已经为他悲伤得如此之深，所以现在也有一种如释重负的感觉。
“我再也不用担心晚上睡觉时会感到害怕。他也不再遭受那些痛苦了。”

当然，这出于善意——孩子们在两小时后就问了这个问题——但在最初的日子和几周内，这种痛苦太过强烈，根本无法像换一台坏掉的洗碗机那样简单地替代。

500年历史的水磨坊
为茶室烘焙糕点
作者：菲利帕·加斯帕
遗产倡导者大卫·琼斯和凯西·琼斯勇于接手一座500年历史的水磨坊——用磨坊的面粉烘焙美味的蛋糕和小圆面包。
自2011年以来，他们一直经营着位于伊尔弗勒科姆的希尔磨坊和茶室，此前从伦敦搬到德文郡寻求新生活。
这座列入二级名录的磨坊最初是为第一代巴斯伯爵约翰·布彻而建，并一直运营到20世纪30年代中期，之后便荒废了。
20世纪70年代，当地人克里斯·洛弗尔修复了它，但当琼斯一家到来时，磨坊早已停止运转。
凯西和大卫开始持续修缮，现在他们用邻近的河流提供动力，磨制产自多塞特的传统小麦品种Maris Wigeon。面粉被制成蛋糕和面包，包括在获奖茶室出售的德文郡分层糕点——一种内部夹有奶油和果酱的甜面包卷。凯西还用购买的面粉制作了约10万个烤饼。
大卫说：“当你六十多岁时还要扛面粉袋，越来越吃力了。
我们有个约定：如果我们俩都说想卖掉它，并且持续三个月，我们就会把它放到市场上。但总有一个人会说，‘我不能卖’。我为此感到非常自豪，我喜欢照顾国家遗产的想法。这座水磨坊让我们始终保持警醒。”
我来，我锯，我征服了手艺木匠的生活
西蒙·博格（Simon Bogg）仅凭一把链锯就雕刻出逼真的木质雕塑，谋生糊口。
这位53岁的男子随性创作，作品售价从20英镑到7,000 英镑不等，专长于动物主题。
他曾从事建筑行业，直到有一天母亲问他是否能做一个蘑菇。西蒙回忆道：“我之前从未用过链锯，借用了她的工具，一周后她说，‘我已经接到五个订单给你了’。”将近30
亚当·邓顿（Adam Dutton）撰稿
年来，他接受委托订单，一次连续用雪松或当地木材工作8小时。
猫头鹰是他最畅销的作品，但他尤其以一尊巨型雄鹿、大象和后腿直立的马为傲。
这位来自林肯郡劳斯镇的父亲说：
“任何用链锯做的东西，你都不该做。有人总拿我开玩笑，问我什么时候找份正经工作，但我就是热爱它。”

电话号码恢复后的喜悦
搬家导致一对夫妇的服务"即时"交付日期延迟
对于搬家的一对夫妇来说，这是理想的解决方案——宽带、电视和固话服务在新住址全部整合。
"我们的旧供应商无法覆盖这些服务，所以我们进行了更换。当被告知电话可能需要稍长时间时，我们并不介意，因为我们最想保留的是自己的号码，"约翰和帕姆·赫德森告诉《十字军报》。
他们很乐意注册EE（英国电信集团旗下消费者品牌），但"即时"交付日期随后改变，几周后他们仍在等待。
"客户服务人员非常友好，但我们越来越多地被告知延误是由于我们的电话号码请求，"约翰补充道，同时感谢《十字军报》的支持。
以我们的经验，客户能够保留原始电话号码是他们最在意的事情之一，无论是移动号码还是固话号码。当然，这可以理解，因为让所有人知道你的号码变更，或因无法联系而错过重要信息的前景可能令人非常担忧。
当我们向EE反映赫德森一家的问题时，希望大增，因为看起来EE正在竭尽全力为这对夫妇提供他们想要的服务。
公司发言人表示："我们为赫德森先生的体验未能达到我们为客户提供的高标准服务感到抱歉。
"我们可以确认他的宽带和电视服务现已开通，并为导致这些服务延迟的故障致歉。
"正如最初建议的那样，我们无法使用他的原始电话号码下单。现已使用临时号码下达新订单，并预计固话服务即将开通。"
五天后情况变得更好，旧号码恢复的承诺兑现，随着延误成为过去，赫德森一家还收到了一笔50英镑的善意补偿。
"我们再高兴不过了，感谢所有人的努力，"他们告诉《十字军报》。

宠物护理
兽医大卫·格兰特（David Grant）为您解惑
贝类在烈日下的热射病风险
问：我们最近从一位年长亲戚那里接手了一只希腊陆龟，因为他无法再照顾它。这只龟大约60岁，可以在花园里活动。考虑到近期的天气状况，请问陆龟会面临热射病风险吗？如果会，需要注意哪些症状？
答：在今年夏天的高温天气下，陆龟确实面临热射病风险。虽然在自然栖息地它们能短暂耐受高温，但前提是能选择阴凉处。持续暴露在高温阳光下显然是一个风险，尤其是龟壳和地面温度可能比气温高得多。
其他主要风险因素包括：炎热天气缺乏遮荫、被困在温室、暖房、玻璃或塑料棚中、通风不良且无法接触植被。
年长的陆龟尤其危险，幼龟因体型较小升温更快也面临同样风险。
缺乏饮水和洗浴用水也是一个非常重要的诱因。
需要注意的警示症状包括：被限制活动时拼命试图逃脱、开口呼吸、喘息并出现带泡沫的唾液——这些是即将虚脱的严重信号。后期症状还包括头部和四肢无力下垂，甚至无法行走。这些症状可能突然出现，几乎没有预兆。
一旦出现上述情况，应将陆龟移至阴凉处，放入室温水中，并立即联系兽医寻求紧急建议。
问：我的一只6个月大的杂种雄性狗最近接受了驱虫治疗。请问是否建议进一步治疗，以及频率如何？我在当地宠物店和超市看到各种不同类型的寄生虫和产品，感到非常困惑。
答：我刚毕业时，狗狗主要需要担心的寄生虫相对较少，包括跳蚤、蛔虫和绦虫。但从那以后，一些原本仅在局部地区存在的寄生虫已扩散至英国多地，例如蜱虫现已无处不在，肺丝虫也同样如此。需要治疗和预防的寄生虫种类在过去几十年大幅增加，更不用说那些通常仅见于欧洲大陆、因宠物旅行而传入英国的寄生虫。
因此，你在当地看到的琳琅满目也就不足为奇了。我确信你会期待我这样说：为了有效治疗和预防所有可能影响狗狗的寄生虫，兽医专业知识必不可少。这不仅关乎选择最佳产品，还包括正确使用方法和频率。
兽医们越来越多地采用针对个体狗狗的风险评估，以确保仅开具其真正所需的产品，并按正确间隔使用。为帮助大家理解这一复杂话题，我推荐查阅欧洲科学指导委员会伴侣动物寄生虫（英国及爱尔兰）网站（esccapuk.org.uk），那里有关于宠物寄生虫控制的全面指南。

今日值得观看的电视节目
电视评论家 迈克·沃德
今日精选
《英国缝纫大赛》 BBC1，0.
《我们真的需要月球吗？》 BBC4，23.55
这个标题具有误导性。目前并无废除月球的计划。我已确认。但这仍是一个有趣的问题，由《星空之夜》的玛吉·阿德林提出，因为我们很容易忽视我们的天然卫星。
她提醒我们，月球决定了潮汐的涨落，也决定了一天的时长。它还为四季提供节奏（切勿与洛杉矶鼓手安迪·萨内西混淆，他为“四季”乐队提供节奏）。
哦，月球还在以每年3.7厘米的速度远离地球——“与我们指甲生长的速度大致相同”。
《名人通缉》 C4，21.00
恕我直言——或最好别这么说——但我原本以为这档最新《名人通缉》系列与之前的节目模式相同。
我原本以为今晚的最终集会充满戏剧性，剩余的“通缉犯”还需再躲避3，天，但最终会以皆大欢迎收场。
然而今晚，首席猎人雷坚称那些明星“时间所剩无几”，而仍在逃的露西·康利与父亲布赖恩在一起，她担心他们“若想活着离开此地”可能需要伪装装备。
他们的经纪人需要好好解释一番。
最佳竞赛
《与潮赛跑》 BBC2，14.30
伊恩·斯特林（上图）主持这档小众竞赛，六支队伍在圣安德鲁斯海滩搭建沙雕，在潮水到来前展现“家”的意义。
THE POINTY SISTER'S GREATEST HITS
你能相信吗？《英国缝纫大师》现在是音乐周？他们开场的任务是制作尖顶胸罩。为什么？因为麦当娜穿那种胸罩，不是吗？或者她现在不常穿了；也许她不常穿，因为那种胸罩应该很不舒服。
你会同意，音乐与缝纫之间的关联实在有些牵强。但我想这应该还算说得过去。对制作人、评委，或是负责每周主题构思的人来说，要在这两个领域间找到关联，想必并不容易。对他们来说，要记住为何觉得有必要这样做，想必更是困难。
不管怎么说，是的，正如我所说：尖顶胸罩。评委埃斯梅·扬警告参赛者，这可是个复杂的挑战。这不仅仅是做圆锥形的棉缝胸杯，还要加上“带骨架的网纹紧身胸衣，以及前面的拉链”。
我得说，这玩意儿听起来既费劲又难穿。作为一个男人，我特别庆幸自己永远不用穿任何带骨架的衣服，尽管我敢说我的狗会很爱我穿那样的衣服。
接下来，在“变装挑战”中，参赛者必须用一系列卧室纺织品（床单、枕套、被套等）制作“流行明星的演出服”。
现在，到了这一集的这个时刻，你会发现可怕的双关语机会被可悲地浪费了，于是我
要暂停一下，给你们献上我自己的双关语。准备好了吗？太好了。
贝德·泽普林、简简单床、贝德·希兰、床单面包、睡木·麦克、睡紫罗兰、斯诺兹·夸特罗、枪支与已完成品……
好了，总算把这些都吐槽完了。我们刚才说到哪儿了？
哦，对。我们正等着听音乐周的第三项也是最后一项挑战是什么。答案是：每位缝纫师必须制作一套“以放荡不羁的迪斯科时尚为灵感”的演出服。
是的，这就是主持人索菲·威兰在休息后回到工作台时要宣布的内容。
“欢迎回来，我的小缝纫蜜蜂！”她喊道。
她还真花了不少时间才想到这个称呼。
最佳真人秀
《高速公路警察：抓捕超速者》 5:00PM
在M6高速公路上，警方接到报警后拦截一辆未停车的车辆。当他们逼停这辆车时，震惊地发现司机年仅16岁。
最佳历史
《时空旅行者》与罗伯、露丝 5:30PM
今晚这一集将带领我们勇敢的时间旅行者——罗伯·林德和露丝·古德曼回到1588年，当时英格兰正严阵以待，准备迎击西班牙无敌舰队。
最佳烹饪
《名人大厨》 BBC1台 9:00PM
最新一批知名人士包括一位角斗士（上图）、两位演员、一位喜剧演员和一名前皇家芭蕾舞团舞者，他们都在努力用自己的招牌菜打动评委。

莫里森承诺与竞争对手价格持平，价格战升温
莫里森超市承诺将在数百种产品上与竞争对手价格持平，作为这家负债累累的连锁超市加剧英国超市间价格战的举措。
这家私募股权公司所有的连锁超市誓言，其500种“日常必需品”在乐购、森宝利、阿斯达、阿尔迪或利德超市不会更便宜。
英国超市正争夺手头拮据的顾客，近期数据显示，竞争对手间的激烈折扣战正在抑制价格上涨。
行业人士曾警告称，伊朗战争可能导致今年食品通胀失控，但6月份涨价速度已放缓。零售商表示，在政府未采取任何行动的情况下，他们的折扣策略正在保护顾客免受冲突影响。
莫里森超市表示，将在香蕉、面包、鸡胸肉、培根和披萨等产品上与竞争对手价格持平。
总部位于布拉德福德的这家连锁超市表示，该承诺还涵盖新鲜产品线，包括其鱼贩柜台和面包房柜台。
莫里森客户及营销总监亚历克斯·佩弗表示：“顾客无需在优惠价格与优质品质之间做出选择——在莫里森，他们无需如此。我们的无与伦比价格承诺意味着顾客可以相信，这些产品的价格绝对不会被阿斯达、乐购、森宝利、阿尔迪或利德超市超越。”
莫里森超市在截至2025年10月的财年里录得6200万英镑的税前亏损。在此期间，该公司裁减了近5,000个职位，关闭了报纸配送服务并缩减了Rathbones面包业务。自2021年被私募股权公司Clayton Dubilier & Rice以70亿英镑收购以来，该公司一直在与不断增长的债务压力作斗争。其净债务在去年从71亿英镑增至75亿英镑。
重新聚焦降价已在食品杂货行业引发争议，即零售商是否在用虚假折扣诱导顾客。本月初，阿尔迪首席执行官贾尔斯·赫利支持政府对“暴利”折扣进行打击，声称提供会员卡价格的超市仅让顾客“产生获得优惠的印象”。
乐购和森宝利随即反击，两家公司的消息人士均指出，竞争监管机构的调查基本上为零售商使用会员卡折扣的行为进行了免责。
英镑乐园亏损增至8500万英镑
英镑乐园在新东家主导下进行重组
英镑乐园在困难的交易环境和“重大重组计划”下，亏损几乎翻倍。
该折扣零售商在截至2025年9月的财年里录得8520万英镑的税前亏损，高于2024年的4540万英镑。
其销售额下降12%，至15亿英镑。
英镑乐园于2025年7月被美国投资公司戈登兄弟以1英镑收购，但目前已再次挂牌出售。在重组过程中，该公司裁减了11%的员工，并关闭了149家门店。
该公司表示，将2025年视为“重置时刻”，并补充道：“这已将公司在重组方面的表现推至最佳。”

当杰姆回来后，他说他们必须立刻去金克斯那里。 “他今晚会在这里见某个人。我们会监视，但要远远地躲起来。”
当杰姆回来时天色已黑。他为离开这么久道歉，但表示没时间解释了。“我们必须立刻赶到金克斯的住处！”“一定要穿暖和点。我们可能要等很久，而且会很冷。”几分钟后，他们三人便穿得暖暖的，带着几把强光手电筒，朝琼蒂·金克斯的家出发。小屋离村子有些距离，当他们走近时，能看到窗户里透出一道亮光。

莫里森承诺与竞争对手价格持平 价格战升温
莫里森超市承诺将在数百种产品上与竞争对手价格持平，这家深陷债务困境的连锁超市正在加剧英国超市间的价格战。
这家私募股权公司所有的连锁超市誓言其500种“日常必需品”不会在乐购、森宝利、阿斯达、阿尔迪或利德尔等竞争对手处找到更低价格。
英国超市正在争夺手头资金紧张的购物者，近期数据显示，竞争对手间的激烈折扣正在抑制价格上涨。
行业数据曾警告称，今年伊朗战争可能导致食品通胀急剧上升，但6月份的价格涨幅已有所放缓。零售商表示，在政府未采取任何行动的情况下，其折扣策略正在为购物者避免冲突影响。
莫里森表示，其将在香蕉、面包、鸡胸肉、培根和披萨等产品上与竞争对手价格持平。
总部位于布拉德福德的这家连锁超市表示，该承诺还涵盖新鲜产品线，包括其鱼贩柜台和面包房柜台。
莫里森客户与营销总监亚历克斯·佩弗表示：“顾客无需在优质价格与优质品质间做出选择——在莫里森，他们无需如此。我们无与伦比的价格承诺意味着顾客可以相信这些产品的价格绝对不会被阿斯达、乐购、森宝利、阿尔迪或利德尔超越。”
莫里森在截至2025年10月的年度内录得6.29亿英镑的税前亏损。在此期间，该公司裁减了近5,000个职位，关闭了报纸配送服务并缩减了Rathbones面包业务。自2021年被私募股权公司克莱顿·杜比利埃·赖斯以70亿英镑收购以来，该公司一直在应对不断增长的债务压力。其净债务在去年从71亿英镑增至75亿英镑。
在重新聚焦降价的同时，食品杂货行业内部就零售商是否通过虚假折扣吸引购物者展开了争论。本月早些时候，阿尔迪首席执行官贾尔斯·赫利支持政府对“敲竹杠”式折扣进行打击，声称提供会员卡价格的超市仅让购物者“产生获得优惠的印象”。
乐购和森宝利随即反击，两家公司的消息人士均指出，竞争监管机构的调查基本上为食品杂货商使用会员卡折扣的行为进行了辩护。
在“艰难经营环境”和“重大重组计划”下，英镑乐园的亏损几乎翻了一番。
英镑乐园在截至2025年9月的年度内录得8520万英镑的税前亏损，而2024年为4540万英镑。
其销售额下降12%，至15亿英镑。英镑乐园于2025年7月被美国投资公司戈登兄弟以1英镑收购，但目前又将其挂牌出售。在重组过程中，该公司裁减了11%的员工，并关闭了149家门店。
该公司表示，其将2025年视为“重置时刻”，并补充道：“这已将公司在转型方面的定位调整至最佳状态。”

萨塞克斯公爵夫妇想回国……那就让他们自己掏钱
我不明白哈里和梅根为什么还要要求用纳税人的钱为他们在英格兰境内提供安全保护，尤其是在他们的孩子还要在这里上学的情况下。
这次搬迁是他们作为家庭的私人选择，并非国家或王室活动，纳税人没有任何发言权。万一出了什么事，难道公众还要为哈里的又一场著名官司买单吗？

曾经痛恨英国到如此地步——现在却又回来了
梅根和哈里现在想要住在英国——这个他们曾公开诋毁为如此充斥种族主义和毒性的国家，甚至让他们产生了自杀念头，尽管他们在这里享受了种种特权。这难道不是极其矛盾吗？

《不要强奸》手册是在浪费纳税人的钱
所以，内政部想出了一个“绝妙计划”，给所有非法入境者发放一本手册，告诉他们“不要在英国强奸或殴打我们的女性”（《8月20日“切勿在英强奸或殴打女性”》）。
部长们可能是仅有的几个真正认为人们会读它的人。我倒想知道这本手册会印成多少种语言？
此外，他们还应该考虑加上一段话，指出在英国携带匕首也是违法的。
这听起来又是一项彻底浪费纳税人的
money on a problem that can only be properly resolved by taking total control of our borders.
帕特丽夏·伊斯特 萨里郡吉尔福德
如果这些非法移民真有这么危险，为什么还要让他们入境？
正如朱迪·芬尼根所言，内政部的移民性手册“间接承认某些移民实际上就是潜在的性犯罪者”（《 sorry state of asylum sex leaflet》，8月22日）。
既然内政部已经意识到这种倾向，这难道不会使其变相成为这种行为的同谋吗？
理查德·哈里斯 萨福克郡伊普斯维奇
我们成了全球罪犯的垃圾场
如果一个人的道德观念低下到不懂得强奸女性和骚扰少女不仅违法而且有悖伦理，那么他们就不配留在英国。
他们来自什么样的国家，那里竟然接受这种行为？只要亲移民团体和辩护者动辄指责他人种族主义，这些罪行就会持续下去。
政府试图告知移民其责任的做法应得到欢迎，而非谴责。
在2023 / 24财年，英国在庇护体系上创纪录地投入了53.8亿英镑——英国不能沦为全球罪犯的垃圾场。

现在是认真收场的时候了——终结这场法国闹剧
任何批评现行边境管控的人都应翻阅《每日快报》头版，以了解不阻止偷渡船和非法移民的后果（《"在法国，我们也害怕非法移民"》，8月22日）。英国政治家和马克龙总统必须与欧洲其他国家携手，寻求永久性解决方案。

免费福利人人有份——唯独我们的工薪家庭除外
我对富人拿免费福利感到厌烦。我们看到议员们接受温布尔登等主要场馆的免费门票，而他们本该更懂事。与此同时，寻求庇护者仅需支付几英镑就能进入邱园，而工薪家庭却负担不起带孩子去游玩。所有这些降价和"信用额度"福利都应当取消。工薪阶层已有太多问题，无需眼睁睁看着非法移民和逃避者享用他们只能梦想的地方。

国际足联对阿根廷流氓球员的可怜处罚
鉴于国际足联对阿根廷队在世界杯上的不当行为仅处以微不足道的罚款（《帕雷德斯被禁赛10场》，8月22日），显然詹尼·因凡蒂诺已确保阿根廷足协的选票。未来阿根廷球员大可自行凑钱支付罚款。

95年前（1931年） 我们披露了前工党首相拉姆齐·麦克唐纳与保守党领袖斯坦利·鲍德温已同意领导一个新的国民政府，以应对由华尔街崩盘和全球大萧条引发的"严重"经济危机。
内阁分裂导致英国第二届工党政府倒台，并迫使麦克唐纳辞职。
37年前（1989年） 美国宇航局无人驾驶的旅行者2号探测器首次传回海王星及其卫星（包括最大卫星海卫一特里同）的特写图像。
海王星主要由气体和液体组成，距离地球超过20亿英里，是太阳系中离我们最远的行星。
25年前（2001年） 美国R&B歌手兼演员阿里雅与数名随行人员在从巴哈马起飞后不久，乘坐的双引擎私人飞机坠毁身亡。
调查发现赛斯纳402飞机存在疏忽。这位明星原计划在出演2000年动作片《致命罗密欧》后开启电影事业。

Shein拟以极低价格上市
快时尚公司Shein可能在香港证券交易所上市时估值为£198亿。
在伦敦和纽约因政治及监管审查被阻止后，下周的上市估值低于该中资集团预期的£220亿。
这家网络零售巨头在2026年第一季度出现£7300万净亏损。
Shein受到更高关税的冲击，这些关税由美国和欧盟针对小包裹征收。
Shein还面临来自中国竞争对手Temu的竞争，以及年轻一代对一次性穿着商品需求的变化，他们更倾向于购买Vinted等平台上的二手服装。
Shein将在下周二以每股£4.44至£4.62的价格出售2.8亿股，目标募资高达£13亿。

手铐上阵的卡斯被排除出英格兰队
来自头版
卡斯原定于昨晚在伦敦与英格兰队队友会合，以便今日在洛兹举行训练。但这位31岁的球员已被暂时停止参赛。
英格兰及威尔士板球委员会（ECB）表示：“板球监管机构已确认将对周六晚间德比郡发生的事件展开调查。布赖登·卡斯在调查期间将无法入选第二场罗斯赛思男性测试赛阵容。”
索尼·贝克
汉普郡快速投球手索尼·贝克已被增补入队作为替补。卡斯被拍到的视频拍摄时间距其帮助达勒姆在郡锦标赛中战胜德比郡仅数小时。
英格兰前队长本·斯托克斯和快速投球手马修·波茨也能在短视频中看到。

巴斯队的斯宾塞面临世界杯伤心时刻
撰文：亚当·哈瑟韦
巴斯队的半场传球手本·斯宾塞将错过赛季初期，这对其世界杯雄心是一大打击。
斯宾塞在英格兰国家锦标赛夏季巡回赛后立即接受了肩部手术，巴斯队已决定让其缺席赛季初期比赛。
但对国家队主帅史蒂夫·博斯沃思而言，这是一大利好：去年12月跟腱撕裂的主力右锋威尔·斯图尔特已恢复，可随时出战。现年34岁的斯宾塞未能入选本月25份增强版英格兰优先合同之一。
随着圣徒队的阿奇·麦克帕兰德和萨拉森队的查理·布拉肯等年轻球员崭露头角，他将很难入选世界杯阵容。
斯图尔特错过了六国锦标赛和夏季巡回赛，使英格兰在主力右锋位置上捉襟见肘，但他已获得增强版合同。
巴斯队排名靠前的萨姆·安德希尔也有望在新赛季复出。

麦克拉伦老板：荷兰大捷证明他为何是世界冠军
撰文：斯科特·亨特
麦克拉伦领队安德烈亚·斯特拉表示，兰多·诺里斯正在证明他为何是世界冠军。
这位26岁车手在荷兰大奖赛上上演精彩逆袭，超越领先车手安东内利，取得两连胜，为其卫冕之路注入强心剂。
在夏休前的布达佩斯站，诺里斯赢得了本赛季首胜，而麦克拉伦在F1 2026新规则下，一直难以追赶梅赛德斯和法拉利的步伐。
但诺里斯目前落后安东内利83分，他仍相信自己比其他车手表现更出色——斯特拉也看到了他的信心。
“他的表现达到了世界冠军的水平，”车队领队斯特拉表示，“几乎可以看到兰多一场比一场更强。”
“兰多能够在排位赛中最大化发挥车辆性能。而在比赛中，当赛车打滑、抓地力不足时，他就是这类条件下的行家里手。”
诺里斯在赞德沃特从杆位发车，但在首次起步后幸存下来，却在第二次起步时被安东内利超越——此前马克斯·维斯塔潘在家乡观众面前发生严重撞车，引发红旗。
但这位麦克拉伦车手紧追不舍，让车队在后续进站时为他换上新胎，最终在胎况更佳的情况下反超意大利人。
斯特拉（插图）并未因初期挫折担忧，他认为诺里斯已找到一种信念，让他能够打持久战。
“我得说，他现在确实展现出更高的果断性，”他补充道，“他展现出更强的自信，而有趣的是，这种自信有时并不体现在最激进的驾驶上。
“有时你自信是因为你想，‘你知道吗，我现在不想硬拼，因为在这场争斗中可能会输，这是一场漫长的比赛，咱们最后见。’”
麦克拉伦已重新成为真正的夺冠威胁，诺里斯也开始重新进入冠军争夺战的讨论范围。梅赛德斯双雄安东内利和乔治·拉塞尔已将麦克拉伦视为新的劲敌。
银箭车队老板托托·沃尔夫也认可麦克拉伦的进步，并表示他们在赛车升级方面投入巨大。
梅赛德斯尚未带来最新的研发包，沃尔夫希望车队能在赛季后半段、在F1成本上限的框架下，将更多筹码转化为实力。
“我们没有资金在赛车上投入更多研发，”沃尔夫表示，“我们正尝试在赛季中均匀分配这些投入。
“到了赛季末，你会看到（麦克拉伦和法拉利）是否能像现在一样持续为赛车带来如此多改进。”
高尔夫：麦克罗伊势头正劲

麦克罗伊在圣路易斯险些夺冠 在圣裘德灾难之后
过去，政治曾是一周如隔三秋的领域。
对于罗里·麦克罗伊而言，这样的世界已转移到高尔夫球场，以及他2026赛季起伏不定的命运。
仅在五个月前，这位欧洲“莱德杯旗手”在奥古斯塔高尔夫球俱乐部再次捧起“冠军”奖杯，与杰克·尼克劳斯、尼克·法尔多和老虎·伍兹并肩成为“两冠”得主。
上周，他在圣裘德锦标赛中排名第66位，并坦言：“我现在的状态与我需要达到的水平相差甚远。”
七天后，尽管未能夺冠，但他的状态却发生了显著转变。
在圣路易斯举行的BMW锦标赛中，麦克罗伊在最后一轮奋力反击，却惜败于温德姆·克拉克。
他以落后五杆的劣势开始最终轮，但在前15个洞后追平了领先者。
麦克罗伊在第17洞吞下柏忌，而克拉克在第16、17、18洞连续抓鸟，重新夺回领先并最终以低于标准杆17杆的成绩完赛。
这位两届美国公开赛冠军最终落后三杆，位列第二的帕特里克·坎特雷之后。
此役过后，克拉克在联邦快递杯排名中跃升至第3位，而本赛季已斩获三冠的他也成功锁定了季后赛席位。麦克罗伊本有多次机会独自领先，却未能把握住推杆机会，最终在第17洞吞下柏忌后结束争冠——但这一表现仍超越了结果本身。
“相比上周有了很大改善，”麦克罗伊表示，“我认为自己不应过于失望。倘若我的状态不足以让我对未能夺冠感到失望，那我可能还没到该失 disappointment的时候。”
“我在后九洞有过机会。我开始打出一些好球，推了很多不错的推杆，可惜没进洞。”
“温德姆在关键时刻站了出来。他在第16洞的抓鸟至关重要。他最后三个洞的表现展现了极强的韧性。”
“我仍不满意自己的状态，无论是球技还是挥杆，所以还需继续努力。”
“不过，能在不完全满意的情况下仍拼凑出一轮好成绩，围绕球场完成比赛，并仍有机会赢得锦标赛，这让我感到欣慰。”
当天收官时，克拉克在前往第16洞发球台时仍落后三杆，但他在该洞推进16英尺的推杆成功抓鸟，接着又在接下来的两个球洞分别从13英尺和17英尺外推杆入洞，最终以强势表现夺冠。
麦克罗伊在败北后与对手握手致意，表现出了典型的绅士风度。
谢弗勒仍在康复
世界排名第一的斯科蒂·谢弗勒在本周季末的巡回锦标赛前仍在康复，此前他被诊断出患上手足口病。
这一问题在BMW锦标赛期间影响了这位四大赛冠军得主，他在该赛事中排名并列第12位。
但这位30岁的美国选手坦言：“我周一晚上发病。手、喉咙和脚上都起了水泡。”
“所以开赛首日握杆时疼痛难忍。如果我够聪明，或许会选择退赛，但我的状态太好了。我当时觉得，只要能快速完成前两轮，仍有机会。”
他补充道：“我觉得自己正在康复，喉咙仍有些不适，但双手现在感觉正常了。”

英超：阿斯顿维拉
明特赫的离队不会令霍尔泽海鸥陷入困境
法比安·霍泽勒相信布莱顿在以4比0大胜阿斯顿维拉后，证明球队在没有扬库巴·明特赫的情况下仍能应对自如。
海鸥队边锋明特赫（上图）本夏天被传将转会至利物浦，而这位22岁小将因脚踝伤势缺席了周日的英超联赛揭幕战。
阿尔比恩队在开场不久便凭借维克托·林德洛夫的乌龙球取得领先——并在31分钟内将比分扩大至4比0，先是马克西姆·德·库伊珀近距离破门，随后中场球员杰克·欣舍尔伍德上演梅开二度。
“我们知道他脚踝有伤，所以接下来几周我们必须观察情况，看看伤情如何发展，因为他对我们来说是一名重要球员。”主帅霍泽勒谈及冈比亚国脚明特赫时表示。
“但是我们看到，我们能够弥补他的缺席。非常重要的是，我们不能依赖某一名球员。
“当然，这类球员非常重要，一对一能力强，速度出众。但归根结底，你需要面对逆境，需要作为团队寻找解决方案——而我的球队做到了。希望扬库巴能尽快归队。”
布莱顿同样缺少明特赫的队友边锋三苫薫，后者正在康复中，此前因伤错过了代表日本参加世界杯的机会。
霍泽勒表示：“他的恢复情况良好，已经回到训练场，正在进行康复训练，所以希望不会拖太久，但我们仍需保持一丝耐心。”
周四，阿尔比恩队将在欧协联资格赛第二回合中主场对阵挪威特罗姆瑟，目前两队首回合战成0比0。
瓦特金斯被选为维利亚...但真有这么简单吗？
转会窗口对球员、自尊和声誉而言，可能是一段格外痛苦的时期。
在阿斯顿维拉球迷看来，奥利·瓦特金斯或许不会得到太多同情——尤其是在乌奈·埃梅里赛后的那番话之后。
维拉在布莱顿以4比0惨败，俱乐部再次因转会窗口陷入一团糟（又一次）：此前图莱曼斯、孔萨、迪涅和罗杰斯相继离队，而世界杯冠军门将埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯也很可能跟随他们而去。
因此，瓦特金斯的故事——作为沙特职业联赛豪门阿尔希拉尔的在线转会目标——确实让人们将注意力从一场耻辱性失利中转移出来。这是一种转移视线的策略吗？这让瓦特金斯成了众矢之的，埃梅里更是暗示英格兰前锋拒绝在布莱顿出场。
瓦特金斯正被沙特职业联赛开出一份丰厚的合同。
对于一名从非联赛一步步打拼到顶峰的球员来说，这将是一笔梦幻般的收入。
他是一名低调但意志坚定的球员，不追求聚光灯
但在维拉的日子却起起伏伏。当这位30岁的前锋在场上时，情况大多都很好，因为他努力拼搏、进球得分、全力以赴。
他曾在欧联杯中享受成功，并帮助俱乐部获得了欧冠资格。
低谷则出现在他多次被排除在首发阵容之外——当球员被裁掉时，没人会为他们说话。
偶尔也会有传言称他们不想为球队效力。
埃梅里是一位优秀的主教练，原因之一就是他输不起。他如此渴望胜利。
在布莱顿的比赛后，你能看出他怒不可遏，瓦特金斯则成了众矢之的，如今已是公敌。
2025年1月，当这家英格兰中部俱乐部确实需要出售球员时，维拉拒绝了瓦特金斯转会阿森纳的请求。枪手们总会说是维拉先联系的他们。
维拉最终为平衡账目而出售了前锋朱昂·杜兰。
瓦特金斯因要价过高而错失转会，但和所有球员一样，他属于俱乐部——直到俱乐部不再需要他。到那时，他就只是被丢弃的棋子。
维拉今夏已卖出如此多球员，这必然引发不确定性。但这样的转会旋风并不新鲜。
他们向来是买卖双方都很活跃的俱乐部。那么瓦特金斯真的错了吗？当球员拿着如此高薪时，没有理由罢赛逼迁，但事情真有那么简单吗？
可以确定的是，全世界的球员都在和俱乐部、经纪人及经理讨论自己的未来。
许多球员都觉得有必要离开。这不是球员话语权的时代。
但我们已看到更多俱乐部公开追逐在合同期内的目标球员——哪怕他们还在合同期内。
每家俱乐部都这么做，如果这能让某些人动心——尤其是当转会能带来改变人生的金钱时——那么他们或许并不在适合比赛的心态中。
但同样，球员或许也会回想起上次被弃用时的情景，并对忠诚度提出自己的质疑。这必须是一条双向的路。
维拉球迷此时此刻或许不会认同。
但今夏这出闹剧可能在每家俱乐部都上演过——只是没有这么公开罢了。

纽卡斯尔联正在为转会窗口最后一周斥资1亿英镑做准备，里尔前锋马蒂亚斯·费尔南德斯-帕尔多位列其目标名单。
纽卡斯尔还在推进一笔5000万英镑的交易，目标是曼城中场尼科·冈萨雷斯（上图右）。
但在今夏从圣詹姆斯公园大批离队后，他们决心在下周二窗口关闭前再引进更多新援。
体育总监罗斯·威尔逊希望能签下备受期待的比利时球星费尔南德斯-帕尔多，以助纽卡斯尔在转会窗口最后阶段冲刺。
威尔逊（下图右）希望敲定三笔交易，其中为左后卫路易斯·霍尔寻找替代者被视为当务之急。
里尔方面对费尔南德斯-帕尔多的转会态度强硬，认为这位21岁球员价值6000万英镑。他也曾被RB莱比锡相中，对方约3400万英镑的报价似乎已促使纽卡斯尔行动。里尔现阶段的立场是，除非天价报价，否则不愿出售。
费尔南德斯-帕尔多与阿森纳和马竞也有传闻，目前与里尔的合同到2029年，但他本人已表达渴望接受新挑战。
若能完成冈萨雷斯（24岁）的交易，将为新帅马蒂亚斯·贾斯勒带来重大利好。
在被问及是否会有更多交易时，贾斯勒在利物浦战平后表示：“这是一支年轻的球队，不可思议，但我们确实存在一些需求。”
被问及需要多少名球员才能补齐阵容时，他答道：“我可以说，你可以用一只手数得过来。”
门将尼克·波普和中场乔·威洛克（贝西克塔斯有意）可能会在截止日前离队。

安东尼·埃兰加承认，在圣詹姆斯公园打进加盟纽卡斯尔后的首个进球令他如释重负。
这位瑞典球星在周日2-2战平利物浦的比赛中冷静推射破门，攻破对方门将阿利森的十指关。
（右图）在今夏世界杯上表现出色的埃兰加表示：“如释重负！这是我期待已久的时刻。我一直在为这些瞬间努力，尤其是在夏天和世界杯后。这是我真正想要把握的时刻。”
马蒂亚斯·贾斯勒坚称无需重温纽卡斯尔的联赛杯夺冠庆典，他正为征战这一赛事的首次亮相做准备。
在被问及联赛杯庆祝活动时，贾斯勒（右图）答道：“（俱乐部工作人员）试图说服我观看录像，但我不需要。那都过去了。联赛杯是一项重要的大赛，我们正期待着它。”
保罗·戈斯特撰稿
利物浦队长维吉尔·范迪克表示，他完全信任俱乐部的引援部门，能够为安东尼·伊拉奥拉组建一支能在各条战线竞争的阵容。
今夏，红军已将杰里米·雅凯和维克托·穆尼奥斯正式签入，同时从巴塞罗那租借罗纳德·阿劳霍。但球队仍在寻觅更多边锋人选，转会窗口尚未结束。
巴黎圣日耳曼的布拉德利·巴尔科拉仍是优先目标，这位23岁的法国国脚身价约为1.45 亿英镑m。
此外，红军对冈比亚边锋扬库巴·明特的两次报价均被布莱顿拒绝，后者为该球员开出了1.2 亿英镑m的转会费。
尽管安迪·罗伯逊、穆罕默德·萨拉赫、柯蒂斯·琼斯和易卜拉希马·科纳特的离队让阵容看起来更精简，但伊拉奥拉上周坦言，选择范围“相当有限”。
“每个人都希望看到高质量的球员活跃在场上，”范迪克在周日客场2-2战平纽卡斯尔后表示，“我完全信任俱乐部和董事会做出正确的决定。”
“对我们来说，必须对去年的表现做出回应。我们无需向外界证明什么，只需证明给自己。我们的训练方式、比赛态度，都需要靠自己来证明。”
“希望下周我们的阵容能更接近（伊拉奥拉）希望我们达到的状态。”
多米尼克·绍博斯扎伊在圣詹姆斯公园球场主罚命中一记点球，此前安东尼·埃兰加和乔·威洛克的进球被安迪·塞卢波的扳平球抵消。匈牙利中场绍博斯扎伊目前是范迪克的三位副队长之一（与阿利森和乔·戈麦斯并列），红军队长相信这位中场球员最终将接过队长袖标。
范迪克补充道：“我们需要经验，而多姆在担任过国家队队长，这只会帮助他融入这个集体。从长远来看，这也将使我们受益，因为绍博斯扎伊已签署新合同。他将在这里接过队长袖标。”

约书亚·齐尔克泽眼看转会窗口仅剩一周，未来岌岌可危。
曼联前锋齐尔克泽在球队0-2负于赫尔城的比赛中未获出场，在老特拉福德的竞争中已跌至边缘位置。
意甲豪门尤文图斯对这位25岁的中场球员表现出浓厚兴趣，据信他已准备好转投都灵。但斑马军团也需通过出售球员回笼资金，且目前尚不确定主帅卢恰诺·斯帕莱蒂希望引进何人。
齐尔克泽今年1月曾差点离开曼联。
在转会窗口即将关闭之际，他准备在未来一周内寻求转会，赴意甲可能比加盟英超对手更具吸引力——尽管此前曾与维拉等球队传出绯闻。

格拉斯纳明确吉布斯-怀特的膝伤问题
诺丁汉森林 vs 利兹联 联赛杯第二轮，今晚8点
摩根·吉布斯-怀特因伤被排除在诺丁汉森林今晚对阵利兹联的联赛杯比赛之外。
这位中场球员（上图）在森林上周六对阵同一对手的英超联赛中打满全场。
森林主帅奥利弗·格拉斯纳确认，26岁的吉布斯-怀特因伤将缺席今晚的比赛，但希望他能赶上周六对阵利物浦的联赛比赛。
格拉斯纳表示：“目前尼科洛·萨沃纳和瑞安·耶茨仍无法出场。
“摩根·吉布斯-怀特将缺席比赛。大家都能看到，他脚趾顶部接球后扭伤了脚踝。内侧副韧带有点过度拉伸，因此他膝部疼痛较重。
“虽然没有结构性损伤，但让他上场实在没有意义。
“我们正在努力让他赶上对阵利物浦的比赛，但他无法参加明天的比赛。
“其他球员状态良好，精神饱满，明天是杯赛的首场比赛。
“接下来对阵利兹，我们可以看看他们的比赛一致性和打法。这对我们将是一个非常好的挑战。”
拉姆帕德的斗士们
普利茅斯 vs 考文垂 联赛杯第二轮，今晚7.45
弗兰克·拉姆帕德已向考文垂球员发起挑战，要求他们从揭幕战对阵阿森纳的失利中振作起来。
天蓝军团今晚将在联赛杯第二轮客场挑战英甲球队普利茅斯。
而拉姆帕德希望他的球队能从3比0惨败给英超冠军的比赛中吸取教训。
拉姆帕德表示：“也许，这对球员是件好事，让他们理解这一点。”
“我们在上个赛季没有经历太多失败，因此无论是个人还是集体，让他们感受到这一点是件好事。
“而且我和我们需要支持他们感受这一点，因为输球以及感觉对手比你强大并不是一种愉快的体验。”

Cherki在英超赛场以对比赛的热情大放异彩
撰文：西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基 四个月前，
拉扬·切尔基在阿森纳防线上大放异彩并攻入一球，这本可能成为英超冠军争夺战的决定性进球。
对于一位在首个赛季便跻身英超顶级球员行列的年轻人而言，这是一场重大比赛中的关键时刻。
从那一刻起，切尔基不得不承受曼城未能夺冠的失望，而代表法国参加世界杯的计划也未能如愿——这位23岁的球员不仅难以登场，还难以掩饰自己的沮丧。
正如新任主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡周日在切尔基替补上场并助球队逆转取胜后所言，他绝非那种能被告知“不能为所欲为”还能泰然处之的性格。
马雷斯卡表示：“拉扬是个很不错、很直率的孩子，如果他不开心，就会想表现出来。
“如果他坐在我旁边不开心，所有人都能察觉——因为他会做任何事来表现自己的不满。
“我知道他不开心，但最终我必须做出决定。”
对于有些人来说，这可能会敲响警钟。
曼城刚在一部四集亚马逊纪录片中表达了对切尔基性格的初步担忧，而对于球队而言，那些未能首发的球员必须支持队友并继续全力以赴。然而，在纪录片的另一亮点中，佩普·瓜迪奥拉在球队0:2不敌勒沃库森后对边缘球员的态度可谓一针见血。
在做出2处阵容调整后，瓜迪奥拉说：“该死，伙计们，每个人都必须有感受。我要向他们展示，我要赢下这场比赛。我要向这个该死的经理证明我比其他人更强。”说到底，这终究是球员之间的竞争。今天的竞争在哪里？我感到悲哀，伙计们。”
切尔基在对阵伯恩茅斯的比赛中做到了这一点，赛后马雷斯卡表示：“当他们未能首发时，必须做的就是像今天的拉扬那样——随时准备好，上场后竭尽全力。”
马雷斯卡在夏末与瓜迪奥拉在巴塞罗那共度数日，回顾即将接手的球队阵容。
尽管他乐于以新的视角审视情况，但也不得不承认瓜迪奥拉对球队的了解。那些讨论更多关乎性格而非能力——哪些球员在未能首发时表现良好，哪些则完全无法接受。
无论多么愤怒或沮丧，切尔基那副不悦的面孔恰恰是最好的表现——他会上场并向主帅证明对方错了。
只要他能保持这份激情，马雷斯卡绝对会喜欢拥有这样一位球员，切尔基也是曼城近年来成功引进的关键转会之一。

约什科·加瓦迪奥尔呼吁曼城队友在恩佐·马雷斯卡的带领下尽快找到最佳状态。
加瓦迪奥尔在停补时间攻入制胜球，助蓝月亮军团在英超揭幕战中取得大捷，但面对伯恩茅斯时却在多个回合中陷入挣扎。
上周罗德里和蒂贾尼·达伊真德斯离队，而萨维尼奥已与热刺达成加盟协议，奥马尔·马尔穆什也即将追随其后。
曼城周日已与里尔达成协议签下阿尤布·杜德，并已敲定以3400 万英镑m引进艾伦·埃利亚斯。这笔边锋转会的固定转会费为3200 万英镑m，另含附加条款。
然而转会窗口的最后几天仍有待完成。当球迷期待新援加盟时，加瓦迪奥尔明确表示球员们不能坐等他人到来助阵，因为每一名队员都需尽快恢复最佳状态。
欧冠和联赛杯即将重燃战火，蓝月亮军团需证明他们能在英超开局阶段保持领先。
“我们尚未达到最佳状态，需要时间，也需要在伤病恢复上下功夫，找回节奏，还需利用这些长假期提升体能，因为一旦开始每三天一战，难度会很大，”克罗地亚国际球员加瓦迪奥尔表示。
“越早越好[恢复最佳状态]，具体时间难以预测。我们需要每一个人。所有人都要全力以赴——尤其是在部分球员已离队的情况下。
“这不会轻松，但我们会努力，会为之奋斗。”
阿尔瓦雷斯需说服阿尔特塔
（来自头版）
与西甲对手的交易可能无法成行，但阿尔瓦雷斯或许会考虑与阿森纳进行交易。
前曼城球星阿尔瓦雷斯在上周末对阵比利亚雷亚尔的比赛中被马竞球迷嘘声四起，对他来说或许已无回头路可走。
阿尔瓦雷斯此前坚称自己只想加盟巴塞罗那，而阿森纳主帅阿尔特塔（左）需确信这名前锋会全身心投入转会至埃米雷茨球场。
阿森纳还需平衡账目，因为巴西边锋加布里埃尔·马丁内利正接近以5000 万英镑加盟沙特职业联赛俱乐部希拉尔。
这将创下枪手俱乐部的纪录转会价，马丁内利的离队意愿也因其已不再是阿尔特塔计划中的核心而有所缓和。
“他是最佳人选”

大卫·莫耶斯坚称乔丹·皮克福德在战胜水晶宫的比赛中表现出色并不意外。
英格兰国门皮克福德在世界杯后不到两周便重返埃弗顿，在英超揭幕战0比0时，他为埃弗顿队做出关键扑救，力阻埃迪·尼凯尼亚攻破球门。
主帅莫耶斯表示：“乔丹表现出色。但他在训练中看起来状态良好，体能充沛。
“如果他们进球，我们可能要追赶比赛，而这些年轻球员或许还未做好准备。”
樱桃队前景依然乐观
马尔科·罗斯相信，他的伯恩茅斯队能够从周日客场以1比2惜败曼城的比赛中汲取经验。
樱桃队在最后六分钟内连丢两球，最终在伊蒂哈德球场以1比2惜败，此前马库斯·塔弗尼尔的进球曾让球队领先。对于罗斯（左）而言，这是他执教后的首场比赛，结果令人失望，但这位德国教练仍对球队的表现感到鼓舞。
他说道：“我们在某些时刻吃了亏——在这里你无法避免所有情况——
但我们做得真的不错。
我们赢得了一些球权，创造了一些转换机会，从头到尾打进了一个非常漂亮的进球。
说到底，细节决定成败。我们因细节输掉了比赛，但我认为我们能从这场比赛中有所收获。”

世事变迁，唯一不变的是切尔西依然故我。
切尔西在哈维·阿隆索的率领下焕然一新，展现出了惊人的进攻表现，为球队的潜力提供了诱人的一瞥。
摩根·罗杰斯以1.17亿英镑的身价加盟，并在首秀中就取得进球，切尔西在进攻端看起来货真价实，其他攻击手若昂·佩德罗和科尔·帕尔默也都有斩获。
但切尔西后防核心罗伯特·桑切斯的两次低级失误让富勒姆重新回到比赛中，一家斥巨资的俱乐部却始终未能解决最明显的弱点，这实在令人难以置信。
切尔西或许最有可能成为阿森纳的头号挑战者，但若后防线问题不解决，他们的前锋们还得继续超负荷工作。
阿隆索（右）及其全新切尔西队伍所带来的兴奋感，完全掩盖了阿尔瓦罗·阿韦洛亚执教富勒姆时的紧张情绪。
蓝军再次砸下重金，斥资引进多名大牌球员——包括以1.17亿英镑创英国纪录的罗杰斯——并聘请了名帅。
相比之下，富勒姆则以3400万英镑签下冈萨洛·加西亚，追平了俱乐部的转会纪录，加西亚也追随阿韦洛亚从皇马加盟。
阿韦洛亚执教富勒姆的赌博性质显而易见，从半年前在皇马的执教到接替马尔科·席尔瓦在克拉文农场的五年任期。
两家俱乐部之间的差距巨大——而切尔西最不需要的就是提前起跑。但他们偏偏得到了这样的起跑优势。
蓝军仅用31秒就取得领先。后卫豪尔赫·昆卡的解围球被马克森斯·拉克鲁瓦头球回传，帕尔默随即送出妙传。
若昂·佩德罗单刀赴会，冷静处理后将球挑过富勒姆门将贝恩德·莱诺，射入空门。就连切尔西球迷都难以置信。
富勒姆球迷忐忑不安，当切尔西试图暴露主队防线弱点时，球场内的紧张气氛中还夹杂着些许嘘声。
阿韦洛亚的球队在后防线上仍处于磨合阶段。
当利维·科尔威尔用铲球放倒奥斯卡·博布时仅吃到黄牌，这反而激起了主场球迷的情绪。这座古老的球场总能营造出如此棒的氛围。
正是富勒姆小将乔希·金抓住了这种能量。这位19岁小将在23分钟时一记低射，从近角将球打进桑切斯把守的大门，帮助富勒姆扳平比分。
这对蓝军门将来说是个糟糕的时刻。这绝对是一次低级失误。
不可思议的是，尽管投入如此巨额资金，切尔西却始终未能解决门将屡屡失误的问题。
59
切尔西在中场休息前再次取得领先，两位重金引进的球员联手建功。
客队5200万英镑身价的后卫拉克鲁瓦前插，其低平球传中找到罗杰斯，后者随即劲射破门。这真是一个完美的首秀。
切尔西在中场休息后为自己建立了两球领先优势。桑切斯的长传被罗杰斯头球一蹭，若昂·佩德罗在帕尔默身前插上，前锋在近门柱前巧妙地用脚后跟挑射过莱诺。
看起来切尔西将掌控比赛。但桑切斯再次得分，却未能扑住蒂莫西·卡斯塔涅的射门，皮球弹起后被加西亚在首次登场便头球补射破门。
比赛重新燃起悬念。当恩佐·费尔南德斯替补登场时，富勒姆球迷对他报以巨大嘘声——这位阿根廷中场可能是英超最不受欢迎的球员。

纽卡斯尔敞开大门迎新援
撰文：西蒙·卡斯
纽卡斯尔希望在下周二转会窗口关闭前，通过签下里尔前锋马蒂亚斯·费尔南德斯-帕尔多来加强攻击力。
目前，纽卡斯尔正在洽谈一笔5000万英镑的交易，目标是曼城中场尼科·冈萨雷斯——但他们的沙特东家将继续开支票，支出不会就此停止。
里尔开价6000万英镑求售费尔南德斯-帕尔多（右图），但纽卡斯尔希望能压低这名前比利时球星的身价，后者渴望加盟英超。
这位21岁的球员此前也与阿森纳和马竞有过联系，目前与里尔的合同到2029年，但他已表达希望迎接新挑战。
纽卡斯尔还在寻觅另一名左后卫，以补充刘易斯·霍尔的阵容，并计划在转会窗口最后一周斥资1亿英镑大手笔引援。

赛马足迹
BEORMA 今晚在斯特拉福德力争再添一胜，延续其在该赛马场的七连胜佳绩。
这匹七岁母马自5月起从81磅的起跑标记出发，在障碍赛与栏赛间交替出战，已斩获七连胜并提升33磅评级。
但今晚她将瞄准“乔治与龙”障碍赛，下周四还将在牛顿阿伯特报名一场障碍赛和一场栏赛，若顺利，她甚至可能在周末前将连胜扩大至九场。
“老实说，我真不知道她是否已发挥到极致。她确实让我大吃一惊，”斯凯尔顿说。
“我们让她在更好的场地出赛，她便一飞冲天。我原以为她或许能赢一两场，但从未想过能连胜。她简直太出色了。”
摩西是我见过最优秀的，坦率地说
沃伦对重量级明星伊塔乌马赞不绝口
模范战士 摩西·伊塔乌马将于周六争夺IBF拳王金腰带
撰文：乔治·塞申斯
昆斯伯里推广人弗兰克·沃伦认为，拳手摩西·伊塔乌马是他合作过的21岁最佳拳手。
本周，这位来自查塔姆的左撇子重量级选手将重返聚光灯中心，此前有关“英国大战”（泰森·福里 vs 安东尼·乔舒亚）的传闻被搁置，以让路给他即将进行的第15场职业比赛。
不败的伊塔乌马（14胜0负，12次击倒）本周六将在O2体育场对阵34岁的菲利普·赫尔戈维奇（20胜1负，15次击倒），若胜出，他将成为史上第二年轻的重量级世界拳王——仅次于迈克·泰森。
伊塔乌马险些打破由纳西姆·哈默德保持的“英国最年轻世界拳王”纪录（仅差两个月），但沃伦（插图）却坚定认为，在昆斯伯里推广旗下的拳手中，无人能与这颗明珠媲美。
对阵克罗地亚老将赫尔戈维奇是一大挑战，但沃伦仍力挺伊塔乌马通过此关。
沃伦坦言：“纳兹是个异类，对有些人而言，他是个极具争议的传奇人物——有人爱他，有人恨他，但有一点毋庸置疑：他令人兴奋，摩西亦是如此。
你从未见过摩西打过一场无聊的比赛——一次都没有。他一进拳台，你就能感受到那份期待与空气中的电流。每个人都屏息以待，想看看他接下来会做什么。
就我所知，摩西至今的表现和他击败的对手水平来看，我清楚这些对手是谁，有些人显然已不复两年前的状态，但话又说回来，这对所有新人来说都一样。关键在于你如何取胜，如何处理比赛，以及他展现出的战斗风格和技艺应用，远超我所能想到的同龄人。”
伊塔乌马与赫尔戈维奇的对决，与英国对手乔舒亚2015年首次夺得世界拳王金腰带有着某种对称性——乔舒亚同样在职业生涯第三年（第16场比赛）于O2体育场夺冠，但当时他已26岁。
伊塔乌马登顶重量级宝座的预言已流传多年，但很少有人像沃伦那样早早就坚信不疑。
沃伦表示：“这就是我们推广人的职责所在——我们投资自己信任的拳手。
自他16岁起，我们就开始投资摩西。
这不是一蹴而就的，他加入我们已近六年，一切都在计划之中。
这场比赛很艰难。我希望他能赢。我相信他能赢。若他输了，也是他成长的一部分。
我确实相信他能赢，但这绝非易事。”

巴斯队的斯宾塞面临世界杯伤心时刻
作者：亚当·哈瑟韦
巴斯队的半主力 斯库米哈 本·斯宾塞将错过赛季初期，这对他的世界杯梦想是一个沉重打击。
斯宾塞在英格兰夏季六国锦标赛巡回赛后立即接受了肩部手术，巴斯队已确认他无法参加球队赛季初的比赛。
但对国家队主帅史蒂夫·博斯维克而言，这是一个巨大的利好消息——去年12月跟腱撕裂的硬头锋威尔·斯图尔特已伤愈复出。现年34岁的斯宾塞，本月错失了25份增强版EPS合同中的1份。
而随着圣徒队的阿奇·麦克帕兰德和萨拉森队的查理·布拉肯等年轻球员崛起，他将难以入选世界杯阵容。
斯图尔特错过了六国锦标赛和夏季巡回赛，使英格兰在硬头锋位置上暴露弱点，但他仍获得了EPS合同。
巴斯队的侧翼球员萨姆·安德希尔也有望在新赛季复出。

诺里斯的奇幻世界
作者：斯科特·亨特
在周日赢得荷兰大奖赛后，世界冠军兰多·诺里斯表示自己正在证明为何是世界冠军。
这位26岁车手上演了一场出色的比赛，在荷兰大奖赛中超越积分领先者基米·安东内利，实现连胜，为捍卫冠军头衔发起冲击。
诺里斯在夏季休赛期前的布达佩斯站胜利是他本赛季的首场胜利，因为迈凯伦在F1 2026新规则下难以追赶梅赛德斯和法拉利的步伐。
但诺里斯仍落后安东内利83分，他相信自己比其他所有车手表现更好——而斯泰拉也看到了他的信心。
“他的表现达到了世界冠军的水平，”车队领队斯泰拉说，“几乎就像我看到兰多一次比一次更强。
“兰多能够在排位赛中最大化发挥。而当你在比赛中遇到赛车打滑、抓地力不足的情况时，他就是这类条件下的大师。”
诺里斯在赞德沃特从杆位发车，但在第一次亮灯后幸存下来，却在第二次因马克斯·维斯塔潘在其狂热主场观众面前发生严重撞车后被安东内利超越，比赛随即出示红旗。
但麦克拉伦车手始终与意大利车手保持竞争，让车队得以在后续进站时将他换下，并在换上新胎后重新超越对手。
斯特拉并未因初期的挫折感到担忧，他认为诺里斯已找到一种信念，使他能够从长计议。
他补充道：“我得说，他现在确实表现出了更高的果断性。”
“他展现出了更强的自信，而且这很有趣，这种自信有时并不体现在最激进的表现上。
“有时你的自信体现在：你知道吗，我现在不想争抢，因为这场争斗可能让我输掉，这是一场漫长的比赛，我们最终见分晓。”
麦克拉伦再次成为真正的夺冠威胁，诺里斯也开始重新进入车手总冠军的讨论范围。梅赛德斯组合安东内利和乔治·拉塞尔已将麦克拉伦视为新的劲敌。
银箭车队老板托托·沃尔夫也认可麦克拉伦的进步，并表示他们在赛车上进行了重大升级。
梅赛德斯尚未推出最新的研发套件，沃尔夫希望车队能在赛季后半段——在成本上限的限制下——将更多筹码转化为实力。
沃尔夫表示：“我们没有资金在赛车上投入更多开发。我们正在尝试在赛季中均匀分配这些资源。
“你会在赛季末看到，他们（麦克拉伦和法拉利）是否能像现在一样为赛车带来如此多的提升。”
HE IRONED IT OUT 超级明星麦克拉伦表现大幅改善
这才像话！
麦克罗伊在圣路易斯险些夺冠，圣裘德灾难后
政治曾是一周如隔三秋的领域。
对于罗里·麦克罗伊而言，这个世界已转移到高尔夫球场，以及他2026赛季起伏不定的命运。
仅在五个月前，这位欧洲莱德杯旗手还在奥古斯塔球场轻拍入洞，仰天长啸，与杰克·尼克劳斯、尼克·法尔多和老虎·伍兹一道，成为奥古斯塔的“三冠王”冠军。
上周，他在圣裘德锦标赛中排名第66位，并宣称：“我现在的状态与我需要达到的水平相差甚远。”
七天后，尽管未能夺冠，但他的表现却让人眼前一亮。
在圣路易斯的BMW锦标赛中，麦克罗伊在最后一轮奋力反击，却惜败于温德姆·克拉克。
“我在后九洞有过机会。我打出了一些好球。”
他以五杆落后于 overnight 领先者克拉克开始最后一轮，但在打完15个洞后与之持平。
麦克罗伊在第17洞吞下柏忌，克拉克则在第16、17、18洞连续抓鸟，重新夺回领先并以低于标准杆17杆的成绩结束比赛。
这位两届美国公开赛冠军最终以低于帕特里克·坎特雷三杆的成绩完赛，后者险胜麦克罗伊获得亚军。
此役过后，克拉克在联邦杯积分榜上升至第三位，这是他本赛季赢得的第三个PGA巡回赛冠军。麦克罗伊曾多次有机会独占鳌头，但最终在第17洞吞下柏忌（六杆）结束争冠，不过他的表现仍然超越了结果。
“相比上周有了很大进步，”麦克罗伊说，“我认为自己不应过于失望。我的状态还不足以让我为未能夺冠而沮丧。”
“我在后九洞有过机会。我开始打出了一些好球。我推进了很多好推杆，但就是没进。”
“温德姆在关键时刻站了出来。第16洞的那个鸟推至关重要。他最后三个洞的表现展现了极强的韧性。”
“我仍不满意自己的状态，对挥杆也不满意，所以还得继续努力。”
“不过能知道，即使状态不佳，我仍能拼凑出一轮不错的成绩，绕场一周并仍有机会赢得比赛，这让人欣慰。”
当天转场至第16洞时，克拉克的成绩还高于标准杆3杆，但在该洞推进一个16英尺的推杆后首次抓鸟，接着又在接下来的两个果岭分别从13英尺和17英尺推进推杆，最终以漂亮的方式赢得比赛。
麦克罗伊在握手致意时表现出了典型的绅士风度。
谢弗勒仍在康复中
世界排名第一的斯科蒂·谢弗勒在本周收官战巡回赛锦标赛前仍在康复，此前他被诊断患上了手足口病。
这位四大满贯冠军得主在BMW锦标赛中发挥受限，最终并列第12位。
但这位30岁的美国人坦言：“我周一晚上就病倒了。手、喉咙和脚上都起了水疱。所以开赛时握杆相当疼痛。如果我够聪明，或许会退赛，但我的状态太好了，觉得如果能快速完成前两轮，仍有机会。”
他补充道：“我觉得自己正在康复，喉咙仍有些不适，但手现在感觉正常了。”
明特赫的离队不会令霍泽勒的海鸥受挫
法比安·霍泽勒相信布莱顿在4-0大胜阿斯顿维拉后，球队能在没有扬库巴·明特赫的情况下继续前行。
海鸥队边锋明特赫（上图）本夏天被传将转会至利物浦，而这位22岁球员因脚踝伤势缺席了周日的英超揭幕战。
阿尔比恩队在维克托·林德洛夫的乌龙球后取得领先——并在31分钟内由马克西姆·德·库伊珀近距离破门后，由中场球员杰克·欣舍尔伍德快速梅开二度，将比分扩大至4-0。
“我们知道他脚踝有伤，所以我们必须观察接下来几周情况，看看伤情如何发展，因为他对我们来说是一名重要球员，”霍泽勒主帅在谈及冈比亚球星明特赫时表示。
“但是我们看到，我们能够弥补他的缺席。非常重要的是，我们不能依赖某一名球员。
“当然，这类球员非常重要，一对一能力强，速度出众。但最终你需要面对逆境，需要作为团队寻找解决方案——而我的球队做到了。希望扬库巴能尽快归队。”
布莱顿还缺少明特赫的队友边锋卡奥鲁·三岛，后者正在康复腿筋伤势，该伤势令其无缘代表日本参加世界杯。
霍泽勒表示：“他的情况不错，已经回到场上训练，正在进行康复，所以希望时间不会太长，但我们仍需保持耐心。”
周四，阿尔比恩队将在主场迎战挪威特罗姆瑟，进行欧协联资格赛第二回合，目前两队0-0。
沃特金斯被塑造成反派……但真的如此简单吗？
评论员：首席足球记者约翰·克罗斯
转会窗口对球员、自尊和声誉来说，可能是一个格外残酷的时刻。
阿斯顿维拉球迹对奥利·沃特金斯的同情度可能不会太高，尤其是在乌奈·埃梅里赛后发表评论之后。
维拉在布莱顿以0比4惨败，俱乐部再次（又一次）被这个转会窗口搞得一团糟——图莱曼斯、孔萨、迪涅和罗杰斯等球员已离队，而世界杯冠军门将埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯也可能步其后尘。
因此，沃特金斯的故事——作为沙特职业联赛俱乐部阿尔希拉尔的转会目标——确实让人们将注意力从这场耻辱性失利上转移开来。这是一种转移视线的策略吗？这让沃特金斯成了众矢之的，埃梅里也暗示英格兰前锋拒绝在布莱顿出场。
沃特金斯正在被沙特职业联赛开出一份巨额合同。
对于一名从非联赛一步步打拼到顶级联赛的30岁球员来说，这将是一笔梦幻般的收入。
维拉今夏已卖出如此多球员，这必然会引发一些不确定性
他是一名低调但意志坚定的球员，不追求镁光灯，但在维拉的起伏却时有发生。只要这位30岁的球员在场上，情况大多都会向好，因为他努力拼搏、进球得分、全力以赴。
他曾在欧联杯中取得成功，并帮助俱乐部获得了欧冠资格。
起伏之处在于他曾多次被排除在阵容之外——当球员被俱乐部剔除时，没人会为他们说话。
然后，偶尔会有传言称他们不想为球队效力。
埃梅里是一位优秀的主教练，原因之一是他输不起。他如此渴望胜利。
在布莱顿的比赛后，你能看出他怒不可遏，沃特金斯成了众矢之的，现已沦为公敌。
2025年1月，维拉拒绝了沃特金斯转会阿森纳的请求，尽管该中部地区俱乐部当时确实需要出售球员。枪手们总会说是维拉先联系了他们。
维拉最终通过出售前锋朱昂·杜兰来平衡账目。
沃特金斯因价格过高而无法转会，但和所有球员一样，他也是俱乐部的商品——直到俱乐部不再需要他。到那时，他就只是被丢弃的对象。
维拉今夏已卖出如此多球员，这必然会引发一些不确定性。但这样的转会旋风并不新鲜。
他们一直是买卖大户。沃特金斯真的错了吗？当球员拿着如此高薪时，他们不应以罢赛来逼迫转会，但事情真的如此非黑即白吗？
可以确定的是，世界各地的球员都在与俱乐部、经纪人和经理讨论他们的未来。
许多球员都会觉得自己确实需要离开。这不是球员权力的时代。
但我们已看到更多俱乐部公开追逐转会目标——即使这些球员还在合同期内。
每家俱乐部都这么做，如果这能让某些人动心——尤其是当转会能带来改变人生的金钱时——那么他们可能确实无法专注于比赛。
但同样，球员或许也会回想起上次被弃用时的情景，并对忠诚度提出自己的质疑。这必须是一条双向的路。
维拉球迹此时此刻可能不会认同。
但今夏这类风波可能在每家俱乐部都上演过——只是没有如此公开罢了。
A 1 亿英镑M SHOPPING SPREE? REALLY GOING TO TOON Magpies are a Lille gem Newcastle are ready to move for Lille striker Matias Fernandez-Pardo
BY LEE RYDER
NEWCASTLE UNITED are gearing up for a 1 亿英镑m splurge in the final week of the transfer window with Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo on their hit-list.
The Magpies are also pushing ahead with a 5000 万英镑 swoop for Manchester City midfielder Nico Gonzalez (above right).
But after a swathe of high-profile departures from St James' Park this summer, they are determined to bring in more new recruits before the window closes next Tuesday.
Sporting director Ross Wilson would love to land exciting Chilean star Fernandez-Pardo, as the Magpies look to stage a sprint finish in the final week of the transfer window.
Wilson (below right) hoping to seal three deals, with cover for Lewis Hall at left-back seen as a priority.
The Toon's Saudi backers have made funds available to do the Gonzalez deal, while extra spending power will be made available as they look to give new boss Matthias Jaissle the tools he needs to succeed.
Discussions have taken place about Fernandez-Pardo, but there is a stubbornness on the Lille side, who rate the 21-year-old in the 6000 万英镑m bracket. He has also been the subject of interest from RB Leipzig, with a bid in the region of 3400 万英镑m seemingly sparking Newcastle into action.
Lille's current stance on the 6ft 2in is that they don't want to sell unless an astronomical bid comes in.
Fernandez-Pardo, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, is contracted to Lille until 2029 but has spoken of wanting a new challenge.
Getting the deal for Gonzalez, 24, over the line would represent a major boost for Jaissle following the departures of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.
Asked if there would be more trading, Jaissle, speaking after the draw with Liverpool, said: "It's a young squad, unbelievable, but we have some needs.
"We know that internally, and we will be keeping that also internally."
Asked how many players he will need to complete the make-up of his squad, he said: "You can count it on one hand, I would say."
Goalkeeper Nick Pope and midfielder Joe Willock, wanted by Besiktas, could leave before deadline day.
ELANGA OFF THE MARK
BY LEE RYDER
ANTHONY ELANGA has admitted his relief at ending his year-long wait for a first Newcastle goal at St James' Park.
The Sweden star slotted coolly past Liverpool stopper Alisson in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Elanga (right) - who was clinical for Sweden at the World Cup this summer - said: "Relief! Something I've wanted to do for a long time.
"I've been working hard for these moments, especially in the summer and after the World Cup.
"It was a moment I really wanted to take."
JAISSLE UP FOR THE CUP
BY LEE RYDER
马蒂亚斯·贾伊塞尔坚称，在为首次参加该项赛事做准备之际，他无需观看纽卡斯尔联的联赛杯冠军巡游。
当被问及联赛杯庆典时，超过30万纽卡斯尔球迷沿街排列，贾伊塞尔（右）回答道：“（俱乐部工作人员）曾试图说服我观看录像。但没必要。已经过去了。
‘联赛杯是一项重要的大赛。我们正期待着它。’
范迪克对科平的质量充满信心
BY PAUL GORST 利物浦队长 维吉尔·范迪克表示，他完全信任俱乐部的引援部门，能够为安德尼·伊拉奥拉组建一支在各方面都具竞争力的阵容。
今夏，红军已将杰里米·雅凯和维克多·穆尼奥斯正式签下，同时从巴塞罗那租借了罗纳德·阿劳霍，但寻找额外边锋的窗口期仍在继续。
巴黎圣日耳曼的布拉德利·巴尔科拉仍是优先目标，冠军联赛冠军要求约1.45 亿英镑m转会费，这位23岁的法国国脚身价不菲。
红军还曾向布莱顿提出两次报价，但均被拒绝，后者为冈比亚边锋扬库巴·明特赫开价7000 万英镑m。
尽管安迪·罗伯逊、穆罕默德·萨拉赫、柯蒂斯·琼斯和易卜拉希马·科纳特的离队让阵容看起来更精简，0
“无论是谁，都希望看到优质球员到来，”范迪克在周日2-2战平纽卡斯尔后表示，“我完全信任俱乐部和董事会做出正确决定。
‘对我们来说，我们必须对去年的表现做出回应。
‘我们无需向外界证明什么。这只是为了我们自己。我们的训练方式、比赛态度，都取决于我们自己来证明。
‘希望下周我们的表现会非常接近（伊拉奥拉）希望我们做到的那样。’
多米尼克·绍博斯扎伊在圣詹姆斯公园球场主罚命中点球，此前安东尼·埃兰加和乔·威洛克在科迪·加克波的扳平进球两侧发威。匈牙利队长绍博斯扎伊现已成为范迪克的三位副队长之一，与阿利松和乔·戈麦斯并列。红军领袖相信这位中场球员最终将接过队长袖标。
范迪克（上图）补充道：“我们既有经验，也有像多姆这样曾担任过国家队队长的人，这只会帮助他融入这个集体。
‘从长远来看，这也将使我们受益，因为绍博斯扎伊已签下新合同。他将在这里接过队长袖标。’
ZIRKZEE SET TO MOVE ON
BY JOHN CROSS 约书亚·齐尔克泽在转会窗口仅剩一周之际，对自己的未来忧心忡忡。
曼联前锋齐尔克泽（插图）在球队0-2负于赫尔城的比赛中未获出场，在老特拉福德的竞争中已被远远甩在身后。
25岁的荷兰天才前锋齐尔克泽已准备好转投都灵。但意甲巨头还需在签下新前锋前削减大合同球员，且尚不确定尤文主帅卢恰诺·斯帕莱蒂希望引入何人。
吉布斯-怀特膝伤明确
诺丁汉森林 vs 利兹联 卡拉宝杯第二轮，今晚8点
摩根·吉布斯-怀特因伤被排除在诺丁汉森林今晚对阵利兹联的卡拉宝杯比赛之外。
这位中场球员（上图）在森林队上周六对阵同一对手的英超联赛中踢满全场。
森林主帅奥利弗·格拉斯纳确认，26岁的吉布斯-怀特因伤缺席今晚比赛，但希望他能赶上周六与利物浦的联赛对决。
格拉斯纳表示：“目前尼科洛·萨沃纳和瑞安·耶茨仍无法出场。
“摩根·吉布斯-怀特将缺席比赛。大家都能看到，他脚趾顶球后扭伤了脚踝。内侧副韧带有点过度拉伸，因此他膝部疼痛较重。
“虽然没有结构性损伤，但让他上场并不明智。
“我们正在全力让他赶上利物浦的比赛，但他无法参加明天的比赛。
“其他球员状态良好，精神饱满，明天是杯赛的首场比赛。
“接下来对阵利兹联，我们可以看看他们的比赛一致性和打法。这对我们将是一个很好的挑战。”
拉姆帕德的斗士们
普利茅斯 vs 考文垂 卡拉宝杯第二轮，今晚7.45
弗兰克·拉姆帕德已向考文垂球员发起挑战，要求他们从揭幕战对阵阿森纳的失利中振作起来。
天蓝军团今晚将在客场挑战英甲球队普利茅斯，参加杯赛第二轮的比赛。
而拉姆帕德希望他的球队能从3比0惨败给英超冠军的比赛中汲取教训。
他说道：“也许，这对球员们是件好事，让他们理解这一点。”
“在过去的一个赛季中，我们并没有经历太多失败，因此让他们在个人和集体层面感受到这一点是件好事。
“而且，我和我们需要支持他们这种感受，因为输球以及感觉对手比你强大并不是一种愉快的体验。”

Cherki用激情点燃英超联赛
作者：西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基 四个月前，
拉杨·切尔基在一场比赛中
闪耀突破阿森纳防线，
并攻入可能决定英超
联赛冠军归属的进球。
这是一个年轻人在首个赛季便跻身英超顶级球员行列的重要时刻。
从那时起，切尔基不得不面对曼城未能夺冠的失望，而法国队的世界杯之旅也未能按计划进行——这位23岁的球员难以获得出场机会，也难以掩饰自己的沮丧。
周日，切尔基替补登场将蓝军从失败中拯救出来后，新任主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡表示，他不是那种能接受被告知“不能做他想做的事”的性格球员。
马雷斯卡说：“拉扬是个很nice、很直率的孩子，如果他不开心，他会表现出来。
“如果他坐在我旁边不开心，所有人都能察觉到，因为他会做任何事来表现自己的不满。
“我知道他不开心，但最终我必须做出决定。”对有些人来说，这可能会敲响警钟。
曼城刚刚在一部四集亚马逊纪录片中表达了对切尔基性格的初步担忧，而对于球队而言，那些未能首发的球员必须支持队友并继续全力以赴至关重要。然而，根据纪录片的另一个亮点，佩普·瓜迪奥拉在球队0:2负于勒沃库森后对边缘球员的态度非常明确。
在做出10次人员调整后，瓜迪奥拉说：“该死，伙计们，每个人都必须感受到：‘我要证明给他们看，我要赢下这场比赛。我要向这个该死的混蛋教练证明我比其他人更强。’说到底，这是球员之间的竞争。今天的竞争在哪里？我感到很难过，伙计们。”
切尔基在对阵伯恩茅斯的比赛中正是如此表现，赛后马雷斯卡说：“当他们未能首发时，他们必须做的就是雷扬今天所做的——做好准备，上场，尽全力。”
马雷斯卡在夏末与瓜迪奥拉在巴塞罗那共度了几天，讨论即将接手的球队。
尽管他喜欢用新的眼光看待问题，但他无法忽视瓜迪奥拉对这支球队的了解。
那些讨论更多是关于性格而非能力——哪些球员在未能首发时表现良好，哪些则完全相反。
无论多愤怒或沮丧，切尔基那张臭脸恰恰是最好的表现——他会上场并向主教练证明对方错了。
如果他能保持这份激情，马雷斯卡绝对会喜欢将他视为曼城近年来最成功的转会之一。

GVARDIOL：奋起直追或落后
作者：西蒙·巴伊科夫斯基
约什科·加尔迪奥尔呼吁曼城队友在恩佐·马雷斯卡麾下找到最佳状态时必须奋起直追。
加尔迪奥尔在补时阶段的制胜进球帮助蓝月亮军团在英超揭幕战中取得大捷，但面对伯恩茅斯时却有多个阶段表现受挫。
上周罗德里和蒂亚尼·赖因德斯离队，此外萨维尼奥加盟热刺以及奥马尔·马尔穆什即将跟进的交易也已达成。
周日，曼城与里尔就签下阿尤布·布阿迪达成协议，并已敲定以3400 万英镑m签下阿兰·埃利亚斯。这名前锋从帕尔梅拉斯加盟的交易包含3200 万英镑m的固定转会费及附加条款。
然而转会窗口最后几天仍有待敲定。随着球迷期待援兵加盟，加尔迪奥尔明确表示球员们不能浪费任何时间坐等他人到来助阵，因为每一名队员都需尽快恢复最佳状态。
欧冠和联赛杯即将重燃战火，蓝月亮军团需证明他们能在英超开局阶段保持领先节奏。
“我们尚未达到最佳状态，因此需要时间，也需要在健康和节奏上下功夫，仍需利用这段长间歇期变得更好、进入状态，因为一旦开始每三天就要比赛，情况会非常困难，”克罗地亚国脚加尔迪奥尔表示。
“越早越好[恢复到最佳状态]。很难预测。我们需要每一个人。每个人都必须全力以赴——尤其是在部分球员已经离队的情况下。
“这不会轻松，但我们会推动自己，为之奋斗。”
阿尔瓦雷斯需说服阿尔特塔
（转自头版）
与西甲对手的交易可能无法成行，但他或许愿意与阿森纳做成交易。
前曼城球星阿尔瓦雷斯在上周末与比利亚雷亚尔的平局中遭到马竞球迷的嘘声，对他来说或许已无回头路。
阿尔瓦雷斯此前坚称他只想加盟巴萨，而阿森纳主帅阿尔特塔（左）则需确信这名前锋会全身心投入转会至酋长球场。
阿森纳还需在账目上保持平衡，因为巴西边锋加布里埃尔·马丁内利正接近以5000 万英镑转会至沙特俱乐部希拉尔。这将成为枪手史上最高金额的出售，马丁内利的离队意愿也因其不再是阿尔特塔计划中的核心而有所松动。
樱桃前景依然美好
马尔科·罗斯相信，在周日客场0比2负于曼城后，伯恩茅斯还有很多值得建设的地方。
樱桃队在最后六分钟连丢两球，以1比2惜败于伊蒂哈德球场，此前马库斯·塔弗尼尔的进球曾让他们领先。对于首次执教就遭遇失利的罗斯（左）而言，这是一个令人沮丧的结果，但这位德国教练仍对球队的表现感到鼓舞。
他说：“我们在某些时刻吃了苦头——在这里你无法避免所有情况——但我们确实表现得很好。
“我们赢下了一些球权，创造了一些转换机会，从头到尾打进了一个非常漂亮的进球。
“说到底还是细节。我们因细节输掉了比赛，但我认为我们能从这场比赛中有所收获。”
这是摩根
1.17 亿英镑m创纪录签约罗杰斯首秀建功，阿隆索时代开门红
富勒姆 2 金 23，加西亚 54 切尔西 3 若昂·佩德罗 1，罗杰斯 41，帕尔默 49
撰文：约翰·克罗斯
变化越多，不变的依然如故。
切尔西展现出了他们的潜力，在新帅哈维·阿隆索麾下，蓝军上演了一场轰动的进攻表演。
创纪录转会标王摩根·罗杰斯在首秀中就取得进球，切尔西在进攻端看起来货真价实，其他攻击手若昂·佩德罗和科尔·帕尔默也都射正。
但切尔西门将罗伯特·桑切斯的两次低级失误让富勒姆重新回到比赛中，一家俱乐部花费如此巨额资金却仍未解决最明显的弱点，这实在令人难以置信。
切尔西或许将成为阿森纳王冠的最强有力挑战者，但只要后防问题不解决，他们的前锋就必须继续超负荷工作。
围绕阿隆索（右）及其全新切尔西的兴奋感完全掩盖了阿尔瓦罗·阿韦洛亚执教富勒姆时的紧张情绪。
蓝军再次砸下重金——包括以1.17 亿英镑m签下英国转会费纪录的罗杰斯——并引入了一位大牌教练。
他们还以3400 万英镑m签下了冈萨洛·加西亚，后者跟随阿韦洛亚从皇家马德里而来。
但阿韦洛亚在皇马执教仅六个月后便接替马尔科·席尔瓦的五年帅位，这在他看来是一场豪赌。
GLEEMAN
在中场休息前，两笔大手笔收购的球员联手建功。
客队耗资5200 万英镑m的后卫拉克鲁瓦前插，低平球传中找到罗杰斯，这位新援一脚劲射破门。这简直是完美的首秀。
下半场切尔西再下一城。桑切斯的长传被罗杰斯头球摆渡，若昂·佩德罗送球给帕尔默，后者在近门柱前巧妙地用脚后跟挑射过莱诺。
看起来切尔西将主导比赛。但桑切斯再次发难，未能扑出蒂莫西·卡斯塔涅的射门，皮球弹起后被加西亚在首秀中头球补射得分。
比赛重新燃起悬念。当恩佐·费尔南德斯替补登场时，迎接他的却是富勒姆球迷的巨大嘘声——这位阿根廷中场或许是英超最不受欢迎的球员。
富勒姆（4-2-3-1）：莱诺；卡斯塔涅、巴塞、奎卡、罗宾逊（穆尼斯 82'）；贝尔热（塞塞尼翁 73'）、伊沃比；博布（查尔斯 67'）、金、帕拉西奥斯（凯文 73'）；加西亚。 切尔西（3-4-3）：桑切斯；阿坎蓬、拉克鲁瓦、科尔威尔；古斯托（内托 76'）、詹姆斯、拉维亚（费尔南德斯 65'）、哈托（查瓦里亚 65'）；帕尔默（埃斯特万 83'）、若昂·佩德罗、罗杰斯（昆达 83'）。

'Madness to slash uni fees for EU students'
Brussels demands 75% cut as part of reset
BY AARON NEWBURY
Political Correspondent
ANDY Burnham is mulling Eurocrat demands to slash university fees paid by EU students at British universities.
It comes ahead of a delayed UK/EU summit initially scheduled with former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
At the October meeting both groups are set to sign off on a series of deals intended to reset post-Brexit relations between the UK and the bloc.
Alongside changes to food and drink regulations, the deal will include a youth mobility scheme which would hand up to 100,000 EU nationals the right to work, live and study in Britain. The agreement would allow UK youths similar rights in the EU.
It is believed Brussels has made the reduction of tuition fees paid by EU students to study in the UK a central part of the agreement.
At present EU students studying in the UK fork out up to £38,000 per year for a degree, but this would be cut to £9,535 – a fall of 75% – in line with British undergraduates.
The plan was described as “madness” by Tory shadow education minister Laura Trott MP who said the government’s “priorities are all wrong”.
She added: "We should be cutting the cost of university for British students, not those from the EU.
"Andy Burnham should be focused on improving opportunities for students at home, who are too often funnelled into university only to leave saddled with enormous debt and no job prospects, not cutting costs for foreign students."
The Conservative Party recently announced plans to scrap some interest on student loans.
Growth
PM Mr Burnham, who last year said "Long-term, I want to rejoin [the EU]" changed his position when running for the Makerfield seat this June.
Later in the election he said he “respected” the vote to leave, and was “not proposing that the UK considers rejoining the EU”. Universities have warned bowing to the demand from Brussels risks increasing strains on their already tight budgets due to a loss of income.
Labour MP Andrew Lewin, the former chair of the cross-party UK Trade and Business Commission, has called on Mr Burnham to agree to a youth mobility deal.
He told the i Paper that Downing Street should “run towards an opportunity” so “we can make good on the promise of allowing 18-30-year-olds to travel freely across the EU”.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "We are building an ambitious, close relationship with the EU that will strengthen our economy and unlock growth in every postcode."

Phoebe's family rule the roost at hen do
BRIDGERTON star Phoebe Dynevor can't stop smiling as she makes her hen do a family affair with Coronation Street mum Sally and sister Hattie, who is also an actress.
Phoebe, 31, shone in a metallic mini-dress, Sally, 63 - Sally Metcalfe in the soap - kept it classy in black, while Waterloo Road's Hattie, 22, was pretty in pink. They joined friends and family for a weekend of fine dining and dancing in London - with Hattie posting photos with the caption "Fuller love for Phoebe".
Phoebe is set to marry American actor and producer Cameron Fuller, 32, after they met in 2023.

Matt's tribute to funny ex
Matt Lucas and his former husband Kevin McGee
MATT Lucas has paid tribute to his late ex-husband, calling him the funniest person he's ever met.
The 52-year-old comedian tied the knot with Kevin McGee in 2006 and they dissolved their civil partnership in 2008.
Kevin took his own life in October 2009.
Ahead of his appearance on Channel 4's Taskmaster, Matt was asked what makes him laugh.
He said: "My late husband Kevin [McGee] was the funniest person I've ever met. Also, we had a chocolate Labrador called Milo who was hilarious. He was so stubborn."
BY MARK JEFFERIES
Matt will appear on Taskmaster alongside Richard Ayoade, Isy Suttie, Chloe Petty and Nina Conti.
Soar
He previously spoke about Kevin on social media in 2019 when he said: "I loved him more than anyone I've ever met, and still do. He was so funny and silly and clever and kind and handsome. His smile made my heart soar." In a new interview with Radio
Times, Little Britain star Matt also spoke about how comedy has changed, and the online acts that make him chuckle.
He said: "Most of the comedy I enjoy now is filmed in people's living rooms. I love Limmy, he's a complete one-off. A Canadian comedian called Mitch Wood on Instagram makes me howl."
On Taskmaster, hosted by Greg Davies, Matt said: "I'm inept. If I get anything right, it's by luck, not design – I was stumped most of the time. Greg called me Grandad." The new series of Taskmaster will start on September 3 on Channel 4.
Anger over Green push for police Taser bans
EXCLUSIVE BY ADAM TOMS
FURIOUS former police officers have blasted "reckless" Green Party activists over a push to disarm beat officers and scrap vital anti-terror operations.
A hard-left motion drawn up by Zack Polanski's party demands police ditch life-saving Tasers and pepper spray, branding them "lethal tools".
The woke working group wants ministers to strip cash from policing, prisons, and surveillance - while scrapping the Prevent anti-terror programme.
Lucy Hutley, who served as a detective constable in Essex before a civilian drove into the back of her unmarked car in 2015, said: "It just seems they are giving criminals and terrorists a free pass to conduct a reign of terror in the UK!
"How do they want police officers to protect themselves if they can't use the less lethal options of CS or Taser?"
"The only option would be to arm everyone and then it would be chaos as in the USA.
Insane
"At a time when we need more police and counter-terrorism measures, the Green Party want to reduce it all believing it would make a better Britain? Insane!"
Stuart Henderson, who served in the Metropolitan Police Service and in Hampshire for 28 years, said Tasers make officers safe.
He added: "If these were taken away you would end up with seriously injured officers or worse, dead. Telling people please stop because you have a uniform on does not work.
"Those days have long gone. With fewer officers and single crewing of those officers help is an age away if you're in the requesting end.
“Having been assaulted many times during my career more were deterred by threatening with CS gas, which made them think, and in that fraction of a second, which is all you have sometimes, you can subdue and make the arrest without any harm to either party.
"Perhaps the Green Party should go on a few shifts with the police then ask themselves if this a good idea."
Green Party leader Mr Polanski said: "In the Green Party, any member can propose a policy and members decide whether to debate it."
'The glorification of dangerous driving is utterly disgraceful'
FROM PAGE ONE
despite increased condemnation of the online trend in the wake of Saturday's crash.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said yesterday: "Sick content glorifying dangerous driving has no place online, and it should not take a series of deaths before social media companies take it seriously.
“Social media companies know what is on their platforms and have the tools to remove it. They need to use them.”
PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, died after a Volkswagen Passat, which had been pursued by police, was driven the wrong way along the A66 near Middlesbrough and hit their marked vehicle.
Cole Worthy and Theo Rae, both 17, Makai Saddington, 18, and Michael Robert Cahill and Jacob Matusiak, both 23, were also pronounced dead at the scene in the early hours of Saturday.
Cleveland Police said four of the occupants of the Passat had previous criminal convictions.
Officers yesterday revealed they had been trying to stop two cars suspected of ramming properties in the Middlesbrough area.
Detectives linked the Passat involved in the horror smash to a Volvo XC60 seen crashing into properties earlier on Friday night.
The Cleveland force said nine men and three women aged 19 to 61 were arrested on suspicion of offences linked to events leading up to the collision.
Both vehicles were operating with cloned number plates, police said, but were picked up by automated number plate recognition technology.
Officers said there was no evidence to indicate that filming of the activities that took place on Friday night and Saturday morning was done for TikTok.
But social media accounts linked to the passengers in the Passat appeared to show men in balaclavas on motorbikes and previous police pursuits set to rap music.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said sharing videos of dangerous driving is “truly reprehensible” as Downing Street warned the “glorification of dangerous driving...is utterly disgraceful”.
TikTok sources said it removes content that promotes crimes that could harm people. The firm said it was trying to track down videos of “unsafe behaviour”.
The crash came after five
Chris Philp and Prime Minister Andy Burnham teenagers were killed in Ireland when they drove a BMW down the wrong side of the M9 motorway and collided with a family going to a wedding.
The Express yesterday watched videos showing reckless high-speed driving which were posted on social media sites, including one clip of someone driving down the wrong side of the road.

Balloon releases a 'kick in the teeth' to cops' families
BALLOON releases for five of the seven killed in the A66 crash have been branded a "kick in the teeth" to grieving police families.
Families of the young men who died after their car smashed into a marked armed response vehicle, killing PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, aim to pay tribute and the first memorial took place in Middlesbrough last night.
But it is understood a number of objections have been raised.
Cole Robert Worthy, 17, Theo Rae, 17, Makai Saddington, 18, and 23-year-olds Michael Robert Cahill and Jacob Matusiak were all travelling in a Volkswagen Passat being driven the wrong way along the A66 when it hit the officers' vehicle early on Saturday. Police had previously pursued the VW.
Disruption
The Stop Balloon Releases - North East UK campaign group has urged Middlesbrough Council to stop the tributes to the five.
Group co-founder Lynne, who did not want to give her surname, said that not only would the balloon releases be a "kick in the teeth" to the families of PC Blades and PC Clough, but they would also put wildlife at risk.
Lynne, who helped set up the group around six years ago, urged supporters to "bombard" the council over the plans to release balloons.
The campaigner said they can harm wild animals and also cause

disruption to train lines. She encouraged mourners to commemorate the boys in other ways, such as blowing bubbles.
The RSPCA said animals can die from ingesting balloons as they block their digestive and respiratory tracts.
Any death is likely to be slow, the animal charity added.
Despite the protests the first organised memorial took place last night. Witnesses said the crowd slowly grew to around 200 people.
Dozens of masked teens riding bikes were seen setting off blue and red flares and releasing hundreds of multicoloured balloons.
One attendee in her 20s said: "Jacob was a lovely, caring lad and he's somebody's son and somebody's brother, he's not some scumbag who should just be written off and forgotten.
"It was an accident that those police officers died.
"They weren't trying to kill anyone and they lost their own lives but they've just been written off as if they don't matter.
"The number of people who have come out for Jacob today should show you that they do matter."
Her comments came as court records showed that Makai Saddington was awaiting trial accused of assaulting a police officer and of causing racially aggravated alarm or distress to another in Middlesbrough on June 9.
added to demands that such content be taken down.
He said: "I think it should be for social media companies, who have offered warm words, to turn off the algorithm that incentivises and shares this type of illegal content.
"Don't give those people the opportunity to cash in on this illegal behaviour, because it's not just about views, those views can be translated into money that's paid by those social media networks to the people posting that content."
Reform UK's Lee Anderson said: "I think the only way you are going to stop these social media companies from allowing these outrageous posts to be put on their platforms is huge fines.
"It's as simple as that, hit them in the pocket."
Of the 12 people arrested, four were held on suspicion of participating in an organised crime group, four on suspicion of possessing a firearm, and four on suspicion of possessing Class A and B drugs with intent to supply.
Cleveland Police Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Fox said: "This has been a fast-moving and complex investigation, with significant links to serious and organised criminal activity.
"The events of that tragic night will have a lasting and profound impact on the Cleveland area and the communities we seek to protect.
"We have a duty to respond to, and thoroughly investigate, the serious criminal activity that resulted in this fatal incident, and to bring all those responsible to justice.
Resilience
"Our robust response will continue in the weeks and months to come, as we continue to tackle those that seek to cause harm to our communities and tackle serious and organised crime.
"Officers and staff across Cleveland have shown incredible resilience in continuing their work in the face of tragedy."
PC Blades and PC Clough were not involved in the original pursuit, but had been called to the area to assist with the search for the Passat.
Family members paid tribute to former Civil Nuclear Constabulary officer PC Clough, saying he was "always on public duty".
The family of the father-of-two called him “our superhero”, adding: “He gave his life in the line of duty, protecting and serving others with courage, dedication and selflessness.”
In an emotional statement which was released through Cleveland Police, PC Blades's devastated widow described him as "my beloved husband, my best friend, and the most devoted father to our two young boys".
She said he was also “an adored son and brother, a perfect son-in-law, and the most fun uncle”.
The widow added: "He was loved beyond words by all his family and friends, and his loss has left a space that can never be filled.
"Our children will grow up knowing what an incredible father he was, and will always be.
"And I will carry his love, his memory and everything we shared with me always."

Labour in bid to grant Sussexes protection
BY JONATHAN WALKER
HARRY and Meghan's security arrangements will be kept "under review", Downing Street has indicated, as a string of Labour politicians called for the couple to have taxpayer-funded protection.
Former Labour Home Secretary David Blunkett said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children should get a “medium” level of protection for their stay in the UK, which could be as brief as six months.
Emily Thornberry, Labour chair of the Commons foreign affairs committee, said: "They deserve to be secure."
Review
The government has refused to comment on reports that a committee that oversees royal family security is reviewing its decision to refuse to provide protection for Harry.
The Prime Minister's spokesperson said: "We do not provide detailed information about those arrangements, as doing so would compromise their security.
"But the executive committee for the protection of royalty and public figures keeps protective security for the Royal Family and key public figures in Great Britain under review."
The Duke of Sussex last year lost a legal challenge attempting to overturn a decision that downgraded his security after he stopped being a working royal.
Harry quits rogue fund
BY LAURA ELSTON
HARRY has quit as a director of an African wildlife charity whose rangers raped, tortured and beat indigenous people.
The duke's spokesman said he remains an active supporter of African Parks.
Last year it admitted the abuses by its guards in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Republic of the Congo.
The charity said it had improved its safeguarding procedures. Harry, 41, was its president for six years before joining the board in 2023.
In 2016, he helped move elephants in Malawi to safety in one of its projects. His spokesman said: "His commitment to conservation in Africa continues."
'It's tosh that Meghan lost a role in season three of The Gentlemen ...there is no role'
Meghan and Harry are preparing to return to the UK
Duchess reveals her core values
BY REBECCA RUSSELL
MEGHAN appears to revel in the speculation surrounding her return to the UK, teasing online: "A little hint of what's coming."
In a cryptic Instagram video for her As Ever lifestyle brand, the Duchess of Sussex can be seen strolling through woodland in a black dress, boots and chunky cream cardigan while gathering a basket of apples.
Meghan, 45, launched As Ever last year and has since sold everything ranging from jam to bottles of wine.
Her mysterious post came days after it was revealed the Sussexes would be moving back to the UK amid speculation the Duchess will make a return to acting in hit Netflix series The Gentlemen.
While Meghan has yet to confirm the move or any roles, the apple-laden video suggests her future will be fruitful...
King Charles on the new 10p coin
Heads one wins, tails for grouse
BY VICKY SHAW
THE King's portrait will appear on 10p coins from today as more than seven million are released following increased demand.
They feature the threatened capercaillie bird on the reverse. Conservationists are striving to save the majestic woodland grouse, native to Scotland, from extinction.
The design reflects Charles's passion for the environment.
Some 600,000 dated 2023 and 6.5 million struck this year are now being released, the Royal Mint said.
Landmark
They follow the King's 5p, 50p and £1 coins which have entered circulation since 2022 – representing just 1% of the 24.142 billion coins in use.
UK coins bearing Queen Elizabeth II's portrait remain legal tender.
Rebecca Morgan, Mint director, said: "This is a landmark moment for the nation's coinage.
"We hope that by putting this extraordinary bird into millions of pockets and purses, we can spark a nationwide conversation about a species at real risk of vanishing from Britain forever."
Around 1.4 million adults use cash for everyday spending.
TV bosses have rubbished claims the Duchess of Sussex was dumped from Guy Ritchie's smash-hit Netflix drama The Gentlemen.
It follows claims by author Tina Brown that Meghan had been axed from a planned role in the third series, alleging “the backlash was so intense it became untenable to go forward”.
Now, high-level sources have stepped in to set the record straight, branding reports that Guy "pulled the plug" on the former Suits actress as fantasy.
Speaking on the Daily Expresso news show, host JJ Anisiobi revealed his inside knowledge.
He said: "This story about Meghan having her role withdrawn from season three is complete and utter bullish*t. It's total tosh. There is no season three role. That's not

happened." Exposing how initial talks unfolded two years ago, JJ, who is an Express assistant editor, said: "What happened was about two years ago, some of Meghan's friends – who were friends with some of Guy Ritchie's friends – were moving in similar circles.
"A conversation was had, 'Here you go, Ritchie, Meghan is actually looking to start acting again, and she loves your show. Do you think there could be something down the road for her?'
"And Guy Ritchie says, 'Well, I can come up with some ideas, and we can talk'. He came up with three or four different rough ideas, and there's a back-and-forth between the groups." However, Prince Harry's high-profile security battle with the Home Office ultimately killed off any potential appearance on British soil.
The prospect of filming in the open UK countryside for months without official police protection proved an insurmountable hurdle for the Sussexes.
Cameo
Detailing why Meghan herself pulled the plug on a potential season two cameo, JJ added: "Eventually, Meghan was like, 'You know, actually, the timing is completely wrong. I'd have to go to the UK to film this'. This would have been about a year ago, when filming took place. It wouldn't have been possible. So for that reason,
Meghan was a bit like, 'The timing is not right. Harry is suing the courts and trying to get the security back. I can't go to the UK and film right now'.
"That's what happened. And that was for season two.
"The reports that Guy Ritchie has pulled the plug on her because of a custom role in season three are utter bullish*t."
Yesterday, Netflix confirmed season three had been given the green light, as it released the full-length trailer for season two.
The revelation about Meghan's potential role on the show comes after the couple's mega-money tie-up with the streaming giant was recently changed.
Speaking at Fortune's Powerful Women Summit in Washington, Meghan addressed the updated deal: "My husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix and then the extension of it was now being in a first-look deal.
“Which is also exciting because it gives us flexibility to go to our partners first, and then at the same time be able to shop content that might not be the right fit for Netflix but has a home somewhere else.”
Industry experts insist any screen return for the duchess would trigger a commercial goldrush.
A TV source said: "Her return to acting is expected to draw a large audience of both her supporters and critics, and is likely to make a lot of money. It will be seen as a major coup for whoever signs her."
But the duchess previously declared of her acting career: "I'm done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not."
Workers could be clobbered
Budget fear as PM fails to rule out tax hikes
BY KATIE HARRIS
THE Prime Minister was warned against a tax assault on workers after he refused to rule out hikes in the Budget.
Andy Burnham said: "I won't take risks with people's jobs or livelihoods or their family finances and I will try to help them in whatever way I can.
"I will do what I can, but I won't be unrealistic and people really need to understand that.
"We are in a challenging position."
Chancellor John Healey delivers his first Budget on October 28 and Mr Burnham has previously vowed to honour Labour's manifesto pledge not to raise taxes.
But opposition parties seized on his latest comments, made during his trip to Ukraine.
Mad
Reform UK's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick said: "Instead of slashing the ballooning benefits bill, scrapping foreign aid to rich countries or getting rid of mad net zero subsidies, Andy Burnham is going to raise people's taxes.
"He may talk differently, but he's exactly the same as Keir Starmer. The last thing this country needs is another tax assault on working people as they're already struggling with the cost of living. Reform UK will be opposing Burnham's tax rises every step of the way."
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: "Andy Burnham has been unable to say where the money is coming from to pay for his commitments, so is now staring down the inevitable barrel of tax rises. It doesn't matter who is in charge, it is the Labour Party itself that's the problem."
BY JONATHAN WALKER Whitehall Editor
LABOUR was accused of delivering “a sucker punch” to the great British pub after it emerged that urgently needed reforms to business rates will not come into force until 2029.
The Treasury pledged rates for pubs and hotels would be made fairer after bills for many shot up in April, with average payments for the sector due to be £4,500 higher in 2027-28, and £7,000 more in 2028-29.
A government review led by business rates expert Jerry Schurder will consider how pubs and hotels are valued and bring forward recommendations by the end of March next year.
However, changes are not expected to kick in until the next round of revaluations in 2029.
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride said: "Labour have once again been found out for gas-lighting businesses and workers across Britain."
Writing in the Express, he warned: "The government's plan to review business rates for the hospitality sector won't change anything until 2029. That will be a sucker punch for a sector already on its knees thanks to Labour.
"It is just too little, too late."
Industry leaders had demanded immediate help as pressure was heaped on struggling pubs which were closing at the rate of two every day in the first quarter of this year.
They urged Chancellor John Healey to deliver a package of support in a Budget statement on October 28 for a sector employing 3.6 million.
Andy Burnham announced a 20% business rates cut for pubs, clubs and live music venues in one of his first acts as Prime Minister, saving the typical pub an estimated £1,100 next year.
But Sir Mel said: "Labour are hiking business rates by £9billion.
"Burnham and Healey's support package for pubs was bigger in headlines than substance – just £100m a year, a drop in the ocean compared with the rise. And only 4% of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses will benefit."
The Conservatives would abolish business rates for tens of thousands of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, Sir Mel said.
Urgent
Trade body UKHospitality welcomed the government's review but said urgent action was also needed at the Budget.
Chief executive Allen Simpson said: "I'm pleased the government is looking seriously at the valuation methodology for pubs and hotels.
"When you have rateable values doubling or tripling at a revaluation, that is the clearest sign yet that the system is broken and in need of proper reform.
"While this much-needed review is positive, it is medium-term reform that will not solve the immediate financial challenges caused by rising business rates bills."
He said the average hotel would see rates bills rise by 110% over the next three years, with restaurants seeing rises of 54%.
Mr Simpson added: “They will, justifiably, be expecting to see this addressed at the Budget in October. While I support the government’s independent review to improve the system to better reflect trading realities, this must be coupled with fiscal action at the Budget to reduce the entire hospitality sector’s tax burden, of which business rates represent a significant proportion.”
Pubs were facing a crisis even before the business rates increase came into effect, with 161 closing across Britain in the first three months of this year, equivalent to almost two a day, according to the British Beer and Pub Association.
It said this amounts to more than 2,400 job losses, with younger people particularly likely to be affected.
Other businesses have warned that they are also suffering due to a “complex and outdated” rates system.
Jonny Haseldine, head of business environment policy at the British Chambers of Commerce, said of the review: "While it is welcome for the pubs and hotels we
Allen Simpson of UKHospitality
CHANCELLOR WARNED
No rates reforms until 2029 'is a sucker punch for a sector already on its knees'
represent, this review of valuations should be wider, and cover every sector.
"The full reform of business rates, promised by the government at the last election, is urgently needed. This continued piecemeal approach to reform is the wrong approach."
The government has asked landlords, brewers, hoteliers and business owners to take part in a consultation about business rates reforms.
Surveying expert Jerry Schurder, who is leading the review, said: "I look forward to hearing from businesses, representative bodies and valuation professionals as we assess how the current valuation methodologies for pubs and hotels operate in practice and whether they remain fit for purpose.
"Stakeholder evidence and engagement will be central to informing the review's recommendations." James Murray, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said: "Pubs and hotels are vital for communities and bringing growth to every postcode.
“Last month we announced tax cuts for pubs to give them the breathing room they need. We’re going further with a rethink of valuations – so that we can build a fairer system for the future.”
Nick Mackenzie, head of the brewery, pub and restaurant chain Greene King, said: “Pubs have found themselves paying increasingly disproportionate business rates bills in recent years and so we welcome this independent review.”
Lib Dem Treasury spokeswoman Daisy Cooper urged Labour to take up her party's plans for an emergency VAT cut next April, followed by an overhaul of business rates, removing "ghost landlords" and reversing changes to employer national insurance contributions.

COMMENT MEL STRIDE
Shadow Chancellor
LABOUR have once again been found out for gaslighting businesses and workers across Britain.
They told us they could be trusted to support our businesses, that they would put themselves on the side of working people, but now they have again failed to live up to their own promises.
The government's plan to review business rates for the hospitality sector won't change anything until 2029. That will be a sucker punch for a sector already on its knees thanks to Labour.
It is just too little, too late.
Labour are hiking business rates by £9billion. Burnham and Healey's support package for pubs was bigger in headlines than substance - just £100m a year, a drop in the ocean compared with the rise. And only 4% of retail, hospitality and leisure businesses will benefit.
But they promised that "the cavalry was coming". Instead, we have a three-year delay.
If this is it, it will mark the death knell for too many businesses and too many jobs.
Small-business chiefs have already warned that thousands face closure by the end of 2026 alone thanks to the rates hikes they faced in April.
It is just one thing after another for businesses under this government.
Neglect
Rachel Reeves landed the first blow with a hike to employers' national insurance contributions, making hiring people much more expensive.
Angela Rayner followed up by introducing reams of new job-destroying red tape in the Employment Rights Act.
Now Burnham and Healey have had their turn, by kicking an issue that is a matter of survival for thousands of firms into the long grass.
These are the businesses we all know and love. The pub at the bottom of the street, the hotels we stay in on holiday, the venues where we see our favourite shows. They need our help, not Labour's neglect. We must back businesses fully if we are to deliver the jobs and economic growth we need.
Only the Conservatives have a radical and credible plan to do this. We would abolish business rates entirely for thousands of high street businesses, enabling them to create jobs and cut prices for people across the country.
We can promise this because we have a fully costed plan to save billions from the welfare bill. Conservatives will always put work before welfare.
We would also repeal job-destroying red tape so business can focus on what it does best, instead of being bogged down by rules and paperwork.
We will back business to the hilt because we are the only party that knows that is the way to build a stronger economy and a stronger country.
'We'll kick out lazy tenants who don't look after homes'
SOCIAL housing tenants who smoke weed or let their gardens get messy could be booted out of their council-owned properties under a Reform UK policy.
The party would place working married British couples under 35 at the front of the social housing queue, alongside veterans.
Reform would also pledge to build 50,000 new social homes every year for a decade should the party come to power.
Party chairman Lee Anderson MP said: "What is wrong with expecting people who live in subsidised housing, paid for and subsidised by the hard-working British taxpayer, to keep their house to a reasonable standard?" Mr Anderson added
BY AARON NEWBURY Political Correspondent
that tenants would also be required to mow and weed their gardens and take the bins out on the correct days.
The Ashfield MP said: "It's a big problem for me in my community, when they don't allocate housing on suitability. We see all sorts moving in.
"Hard-working British taxpayers go to work and see the house next door with 4ft of weeds, a dustbin not been done for three weeks and a waft of weed coming out of it."
Mr Anderson said such conditions were “not acceptable”, adding that working Brits “expect their taxes to go to decent people”.
But the Labour Party branded the move as “unserious and unworkable”, saying the announcement was an attempt to “shift
headlines away from Reform's sleaze, scandals and in-fighting".
A Labour spokesman said: "Access to social housing is already tightly controlled. Illegal migrants, asylum seekers and migrants on student or work visas are not
eligible for social housing. This
Lee Anderson is keen to crack down on social housing tenants policy would go after long-term UK residents that have contributed to our country but are not British citizens, including NHS staff. It would leave more families at risk of homelessness and drive up use of temporary accommodation at the taxpayers' expense."
Reform UK's announcement came as the government said it would spend £10billion building more than 70,000 “genuinely affordable” homes across England.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said: "Councils built this country out of a housing crisis once before.
"Backed properly, and trusted to get on with it, they will do it again."

FORMER world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been found guilty of sexually abusing two children.
The 49-year-old targeted a girl between 1993 and 1996 and a boy from 2006 to 2010.
A five-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow heard Dott exposed himself to both primary school-aged youngsters, touched them inappropriately, and kissed them.
Yesterday, he was found guilty by a jury of two counts of lewd, indecent and libidinous behaviour.
In both cases the abuse happened in the Glasgow area.
Jurors heard from one of Dott's victims, a woman now in her 40s, who told the court he had sexually abused her on multiple separate occasions while she was a child.
Gratification
She said it began with Dott "caressing" her bottom over her clothing while giving her a piggy back.
The woman also described an incident when Dott suggested playing a "guessing game" where she had to guess what he was doing.
She told the court she lay down and he exposed himself to her and then began touching her with different parts of his body.
The woman told the court that Dott told her not to tell anyone he was sexually abusing her.
A second victim, a man now in his late 20s, said he was abused by Dott on multiple occasions, with the snooker player touching him inappropriately, kissing him, and performing sexual acts. He told the court a lot of the abuse took place while he was in a shower, when Dott would come in either partly or completely undressed.
The man said looking back at it now, Dott was “clearly getting sexual gratification from it”. He said that because of his age at the time, he “did not know what was going on”, and it was only later he realised the interaction “wasn’t right”.
The witness also described abuse which took place in a car, where he said Dott would kiss him on the face, head and lips, and "push himself up against me".
Giving evidence last week, Dott said there was “absolutely no way” he sexually abused the children.
Under cross-examination by prosecutor Lindsey Dalziel, Dott denied being attracted to the girl when she was young, calling the idea "disgusting".
When Ms Dalziel put it to Dott that he touched the first victim and told her what to do, he denied the allegation and called it "lies".
Speaking about the second victim, Dott said he was “never in my company” and denied all abuse claims.
The disgraced sportsman, who won the snooker world championship in 2006, covered his face with his hands and shook his head yesterday as he was found guilty.
He was remanded into custody until his sentencing in Edinburgh on September 29.
Teacher accused of assaults denies dressing provocatively
BY MATHILDE GRANDJEAN
A CHEMISTRY teacher accused of sexual relations with two pupils told a jury she "wasn't going to dress like Margaret Thatcher" in her mid-20s.
Sally-Anne Bowen, 65, denies indecently assaulting the boys in the late 1980s when they were 14 or 15.
Bowen, inset, who taught at the all-boys Christ's College in Finchley, North London, was previously described by complainants and a former pupil as dressing in a "sexually provocative" way.
Yesterday she rejected the prosecutor's suggestion she wore tight tops and miniskirts. Bowen told Harrow crown court: "They were not very short, I would not have been allowed
to get away with very short skirts." Asked to show the length, she placed her hands a few inches above her knees and made her Thatcher remark. One complainant alleged he had sex with the teacher "about 20 or 30 times" and considered her to be his girlfriend. Bowen previously
called it "total fabrication" and "the workings of a fantasy". The second accuser says he and Bowen kissed once and he touched her breasts. She says she does not remember him. Bowen, of Hemel Hempstead, Herts, denies seven counts of indecent assault. The case continues.
Grooming gang survivor Fiona forced to flee her home after threats to set it on fire
Anger as rapist abuser is freed after serving just half his sentence
EXCLUSIVE
BY PAUL JEEVES Crime Editor
GROOMING gang victim Fiona Goddard has been forced to flee her home after receiving warnings it would be firebombed.
The chilling threat came as one of her abusers is due to be released from jail this week after serving just half his sentence.
In the months leading up to the release of Mohammed Usman, mum-of-five Fiona, 33, has been subjected to a barrage of abuse, prompting police and social services to urgently remove her from her Bradford home for her own safety.
She is currently staying with her children in emergency accommodation while the authorities look to rehome her.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed they are investigating the alleged abuse and arrested a woman, 33, who has since been bailed.
But Fiona said: "I don't feel like it should be a victim's responsibility to have to keep relocating to make sure they're safe.
Harassment
"If a victim is not safe with the perpetrator on the outside, then the perpetrator shouldn't be let out."
Fiona, who waived her legal right to lifelong anonymity to show other survivors of abuse “there is nothing to be ashamed of”, was targeted while living in a children’s home in Bradford when she was 14.
She was the victim of a nine-strong grooming gang who were convicted of 22 offences, including rape and inciting child prostitution.
The gang – which included Usman – used drink, drugs and violence to sexually exploit young girls including Fiona.
In February 2019, Usman, 38, was finally convicted of two counts of rape. He was originally handed a 17-year sentence, but a series of decisions drastically reduced his time behind bars. His sentence was reduced to 15 years on appeal, with the rapist controversially citing “charity work in Pakistan” completed while he was on the run from rape charges as mitigation.
And because he and his fellow predators were sentenced in 2019, they missed the 2020 legislative changes that now require major violent and sexual offenders to serve 67% of their time behind bars.
As a result, Usman will walk free this week after serving just seven-and-a-half years.
Four more of Fiona's abusers are slated for early release under the same $50\%$ rule over the next 12 months.
Ahead of Usman's impending release, Fiona has become the target of a vicious harassment campaign.
Believed associates of the gang threatened to set her house on fire, and she
Grooming gang victim Fiona Goddard, above, has received vile threats and been hounded out of her home ahead of the release of her abuser, Mohammed Usman, left, after just seven-and-a-half years in prison
received a number of messages, with one allegedly warning: "My boys are out soon... we'll come see you soon and serve some real justice."
Fiona said: "The government needs to realise that early release policies turn innocent victims' lives upside down. It doesn't feel like justice.
"Usman was given a lengthy sentence because it was relevant to what he had put me through, yet he has served just seven-and-a-half years of it.
"What does that say to me? It feels insulting.
"The police investigation was nearly as long as the time he has served in prison.
"When I sat in the court and heard the sentence, I was so positive. But I feel like I've had it taken away from me again."
West Yorkshire MP Robbie Moore has been involved in the process of helping Fiona relocate. He said: "It's absolutely outrageous that Fiona is being put in this situation in the first place. The whole situation absolutely stinks."
Outrageous
The Conservative MP for Keighley, who sits on the Home Affairs Select Committee, said he wrote to new PM Andy Burnham, asking him to block Usman's release but received no response.
He added: "The fact Usman is being released after only doing 50% of his term is completely outrageous.
"Anyone sentenced should be serving their full time regardless of what it is, but particularly when it's a serious sexual offence and gang-related grooming."
In June, it was announced that a national inquiry into grooming gangs would focus on Bradford, Oldham, Keighley and London.
West Yorkshire Police said: "Police are investigating a report of online harassment. A woman aged 33 has been arrested and bailed pending further inquiries."

All eyes are on grasping social media giants
VIDEOS glorifying dangerous driving are a sick fad which can have horrific consequences.
They encourage behaviour that can kill, by portraying it as exciting and acceptable.
Once again, social media companies have been shown to lack any sense of responsibility or compassion for those hurt as a result of their failure to police their platforms.
And this isn't an isolated example. There is a long-running problem with social media firms turning a blind eye to the harm their services can inflict.
The nation was shocked by the deaths of seven people, including two police officers, in a collision on the A66 in Middlesbrough. Police are investigating the circumstances leading to the incident, and it may be that social media did not play a role in this case.
But it highlighted a worrying trend of “wrong-way driving” videos posted to social media channels, and staying online despite the obvious dangers.
◇ ◇ ◇
A clip which reaches a mass audience can generate revenue for the person who created it. A popular video can also increase the number of people following content from its creator, which helps them to make money in the future.
The social media firms have a similar incentive. Exciting videos keep viewers engaged and coming back for more.
They are making money at the expense of public safety, just as they do when they allow material encouraging self-harm or dangerous dares to remain online.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham says people who share footage glorifying dangerous driving are “doing something that’s truly reprehensible”. He’s right, but the businesses that spread this material, potentially to millions of viewers, are equally at fault.
They are making huge sums in profit and have the ability to take action. They must remove any content promoting dangerous driving, immediately.
Labour's promised break for pubs is poppycock
OUR pubs were facing a crisis even before their business rates shot up in April. Two were closing every day.
Mr Burnham offered them immediate help, and has launched a review of business rates designed to create a “fair” system.
It's a tacit admission that decisions taken by Labour before the new Prime Minister took office have been disastrous for pubs, which don't just create jobs but provide a vital service to communities.
So the promise of a review may seem welcome, but it's become clear that nothing will actually change until 2029 at the earliest.
This provides no help at all for struggling landlords and pub managers already faced with the prospect of closing their doors.
Once again, Labour's policies are shown to be all smoke and mirrors. The nation's pubs can't afford to wait another three years. They need business rates help now.
Chancellor John Healey is to deliver his first budget at the end of October. It would be the perfect opportunity to announce reforms that will help struggling hospitality businesses, including our traditional pubs.
We need to rebuild lives to end crisis of rough sleeping
Homeless people sleeping rough in tents is sadly a common sight across the nation
T has been less than a week since the Prime Minister announced his national drive to provide routes off the streets for anyone forced to sleep rough by Christmas.
We share his belief that nobody, whoever they are, should be forced to sleep on the streets. Day and night, our frontline teams are out trying to find people, build trust and bring them into the right accommodation for their needs.
Emma Haddad
But this work remains challenging because there haven't been the resources or the right services to enable long-term recovery.
Now, we have a national ambition to bring in as many people as we can by Christmas. This isn't a permanent fix, it's only the beginning.
In the pandemic, thousands of people were brought off the streets as additional accommodation was unlocked.
Through bold and decisive action, we worked with people facing complex and multiple challenges for months and years, helping them to find permanent routes off the streets.
As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham's Homelessness Prevention Scheme had a similar impact, almost halving the number of people recorded as rough sleeping there.
E know that getting people out of crisis situations and off
the pavements can be done, but both in Manchester and across the country, the number of people rough sleeping has continued to rise. This is because short, sharp interventions can only go so far. A safe place to sleep is just the start; it's no use giving people an offer to come in for Christmas, only for those people or a new group of people to find themselves homeless by Boxing Day.
Following the pandemic, we advised the government that rough sleeping couldn't be ended through crisis responses alone. As secretariat for the Kerslake Commission on Rough Sleeping, we rightly predicted that the government was unlikely to meet its targets to end rough sleeping without clear routes into housing, support and long-term recovery.
For a long time, the growing numbers and growing tragedy of people sleeping on the streets has, by many, just been accepted as the norm. Charities like St Mungo's, working with local authorities and other agencies, have been on the front line of this emergency, supporting people who are long-term rough sleeping, navigating multiple challenges and who may have complex support needs. All of these challenges are only getting harder the longer people are on the streets.
So, what needs to happen for the Prime Minister to achieve lasting change? We need to
Guest Columnist
understand that the path towards recovery isn't a straight line. It takes person-centred support to build independence, resilience and wellbeing, and established routes into education, training and employment.
The support we offer to anyone brought inside needs to continue with long-term focus, commitment and funding. Without it, we risk thousands of people being trapped in a temporary response or being turned back on to the streets.
It also requires accountability across government to ensure health, housing, immigration and support services are working together to prevent people from coming on to the streets in the first place. Discharging people directly on to the streets from hospitals, prisons, the immigration system or the care system needs to stop now.
Across England, too many people are falling through the cracks because genuinely
'People on housing benefit are priced out of private rentals' affordable housing has not been prioritised. People on housing benefit, and those on the lowest incomes, are being priced out of the private rented sector as rents continue to soar.
Local Housing Allowance is no longer keeping up and raising it would help tackle a big driver of homelessness. Surely it's better we invest here than keep spending billions on temporary accommodation and emergency response.
HE warning signs for someone falling into homelessness are well
known, from people struggling with the cost of living, to those who have lost their jobs and can't maintain their tenancies.
Intervening when these signs begin to show is far more effective and less costly than waiting for the crisis to hit.
We're ready to bring people in for Christmas and provide those first steps to rebuild their lives away from the streets.
Beyond this, we need to pull together to support these people to rebuild their lives and make sure no one else is left out in the cold.

Esther McVey The voice of common sense
The voice of common sense
In tight grip of the gruesome twosome
ANDY Burnham and Angela Rayner talk endlessly about devolution but they're actually delivering tighter centralisation.
Burnham is handing mayors the power to overrule "nimby" councils on planning decisions,
whilst retaining the power for Ministers to overrule mayors.
That's not local democracy, it's No.10 running planning policy through a layer of regional proxies and stooges.
If Labour wanted real devolution they'd trust local councils and local people to do what is best for their area, and deliver planning policies that work for residents.
Lame leaflets are all they have left
ALL cultures aren't equal. For example, some treat women as second-class citizens or objects for men to have sex with.
After years of the left dismissing as "far right" or "racist" anyone who dared raise this issue - like the Pink Ladies who protested outside Epping's Bell Hotel against it being used as a migrant centre following a sex assault on a 14-year-old girl, they seem to have woken up.
The Home Office has just issued a booklet for asylum seekers to explain that rape and harassment is illegal in the UK. The public would sooner the government forget booklets and detain and deport these men instead.
But I suppose we should at least welcome the fact that the left are finally seeing the threat these men pose to women and girls in the UK.
A mansion tax is an assault on freedom
I F YOU think you've already felt the bulk of the pain from this high-tax, high-spend Labour government, you ain't. There's much more misery to come. The latest figures from the Office of
Latest figures from the Office of National Statistics show government debt surged to £3trillion this week – up £95bn on this time last year, yet Andy Burnham seems determined to spend money like a drunken sailor.
So coming down the track to pay for all manner of Labour's largesse on benefits, housing illegal immigrants and wasteful vanity projects is their mansion tax.
It might start as a tax on homes worth £2million or more, but it won't be long till it becomes a £1m mansion tax, then a £500,000 tax. It'll be just like Rachel Reeves' first £40bn tax-busting Budget in 2024 – supposedly a "one off", but followed by her next budget which raised another £26bn.
A mansion tax is bad enough, not least because it will force many asset -rich, cash-poor people out of homes that have been in their family for years. Giving new “valuation officers” Stasi-like powers to barge into homes demanding to snoop around, and issuing penalty fines from £200 to £500 if they judge the homeowner not to be complying is an assault on freedom and private property the likes of which we’ve never seen before.
This seems like ideological vindictiveness because it won't actually raise much revenue. By 2028/29 Labour are hoping to make £400m year from their mansion tax by charging 165,000 homeowners an extra £2,500 to £7,500 a year for homes over £2m.
But leaked internal HM Treasury figures reveal the cost to implement this will be £380m before a single penny is raised. So that's £20m raised in 2028/9 if all goes according to plan, which I very much doubt it will given this set of clowns in charge.
Those £380m costs are made
up by the £215m lost in stamp duty fees, £150m in up front admin costs and £65m in reduced inheritance tax. Whilst some of the £150m Value Office Agency costs will be up front, like the software development, much will be ongoing – staff wages, buildings and there's a predicted “appeal spike” by homeowners, so extra costs for tribunals. Oh, and by the way, these valuations will be taking place on a five-year cycle.
So Labour will have screwed 165,000 homeowners to raise £20m by 2028/9 but are wasting £110m each year for a single building - No.10 of the North. Another Whitehall leak estimated the policing of that alone will be £15m a year, ministers' travel costs around £25m a year, relocation compensation for civil servants between £3k to £5k each and specialised social media producers estimated at another £25m a year.
So I have a suggestion for the simpletons at the top of the Labour Party. Stop your vindictive mansion tax, an attack on people who have worked hard and done well for themselves, and end the wasteful and unnecessary No.10 in Manchester – and all taxpayers will be quids in.
A Poirot challenge, relatively speaking
HERCULE will soon be back on our TV screens and Killing Eve's Edward Bluemel, left, takes on the challenging role of Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot for this new six-part drama.
Agatha Christie's great-grandson, James Prichard, will serve as executive producer. He and Bluemel have a lot to live up to following David Suchet's iconic run, but as a Poirot fan, I truly hope they pull it off.
LOOSE cannon Prince Harry is on his way back home to no doubt cause more uproar.
It was claimed Meghan has returned, too, to do acting work on a Guy Ritchie Netflix series - but that seems to be in the balance. Maybe she just needed a reason to get on the plane other than they were both eating humble pie.
The good news that the meeting with the King at Highgrove wasn't leaked is a step in the right direction for Harry and his chances of rejoining the Firm.
The bad news is that William and Kate still don't seem keen to welcome him back into the fold. Could it be they don't want a reformed, keen-to-work Harry back as it forces them to do a bit more work?
In the last year, the King - in his late 70s - did 535 engagements, Princess Anne 478, whereas William did just 202 and Kate only 68.
It is time for them to up their game, and a bit of competition from Harry coming home might just do the trick.
GRADUATES' JOB DROUGHT PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT LABOUR ISN'T WORKING
GRADUATES are facing the worst jobs market on record. Just 8,383 roles for university leavers were advertised in July—a 45% drop compared to last year. This comes just as a record 262,820 students are preparing to start a degree next
month. This graduate jobs drought is an inevitable consequence of Labour's jobs tax and introducing workers' rights from day one of employment.
Surely now, with all the hard evidence of the damaging effects on employment, Labour has to get rid of them. Otherwise, next year we will have another 250,000 graduates in huge debt and with no jobs for them to apply for.
That's a truly shocking and worrying scenario. Once again, Labour isn't working.

NIGEL Farage is the best British political communicator of my lifetime. Not just because of his impeccable presentation skills, but because of his well-honed
habit of weighing in on the big issues of the day on precisely the right side of the argument while his rivals flounder and placate.
Sure, there have been some horrendous departures from reason, such as his cack-handed, Andrew Tate-inspired intervention on the Southport murders. But largely, he gets it. Small boats crisis? He gets it. Net zero zealotry? He gets it. Free speech? He gets it. Or, he got it.
For some time now there have been worrying signs that Reform UK is losing the plot when it comes to the press and free speech.
Colleagues in the media noted how thin-skinned was the Farage who barked at journalists before calling the Clacton by-election, alleging that reporters had gone too far with approaches to his family.
His ill-tempered throwing down of the gauntlet, culminating in a showdown with Count Biface, struck some as a departure from the media-savvy charmer adept at giving an interview over a pint of ale.
During the Clacton campaign, Mr Brexit unleashed at media malpractice on the popular Triggernometry podcast. Given this was in the wake of Ann Widdecombe's killing and given the number of death threats Farage has received, perhaps it's too much to expect that in the throes of grief and stress he maintain a measured stance on free speech.
Perhaps it would be too far to condemn him for outbursts under such circumstances, silly to draw any conclusions about his wider attitudes toward the press that he might hold in quieter, calmer moments.
But it might soon be difficult to
conclude that Reform UK cares about a free press and the free speech that underpins the fourth estate.
Ofcom is now investigating Sky News on behalf of Farage, who alleges the broadcaster harassed his daughter by sending reporters to her house while his £5million donation from crypto magnate Christopher Harborne dominated headlines.
Of course, action should be taken if any wrongdoing is found. If it isn't, then this looks like a politician trying to muzzle the press from a perfectly standard operating procedure – door-knocking a relative in the hope of securing a conversation with the actual subject of a story.
SOCIAL media seems to exist to showcase stupidity. What else to make of the trend of TikTokers filming themselves joyriding? Many will be horrified by the danger to life. But such fears won't cut through to the morons who engage in this misbehaviour.
They should be told how stupid they are for risking years in prison for the short-term gain of a warm sensation sparked by “likes” on their favoured app.
They might as well wear T-shirts with text explaining why they should be written out of civilised society. They contribute nothing of value. And every time they film one of these stupid stunts they reveal their inability to ever do so.
I've knocked on countless doors as a journalist – and it's not always ended well. Hostility is a natural response to a reporter knocking on your door with questions. At the very least, it's irritating.
And yet it's entirely necessary if we want to live in a country whose politicians and institutions are kept in check, knowing that they'll be held to account for wrongdoing. It's one of the necessary evils of living in a free and open democracy.
If Farage's gamble falters and no wrongdoing is found, this affair will look like nothing more than a politician attempting to secure the right to operate in darkness.
For the past 10 years, the Right in the US and UK has found itself the standard bearer of freedom. Especially regarding speech, from which the press is inextricable.
This situation largely came about because of Left-wing cancel culture, but also because of Blairite laws such as the Communications Act of 2003 criminalising speech. I worry swathes of this support for free speech on the Right wasn't routed in a principled stance, but in the desire to define themselves by opposition to whatever the Left was doing.
Luckily, there's someone on the Right who gets this. Kemi Badenoch has spoken of attacks on the free press and emerged as a defender of my profession. How ironic it will be if Farage, who built his reputation on being right about the biggest of questions, were to find himself outdone by the party he's spent so long trying to destroy.

Pro-Kremlin Brit killed in drone attack
BY TOBY Codd
A MAN has become the first Briton to die fighting for Russian forces in Ukraine.
Bradley Townsend, inset, who described himself as "a normal Yorkshire lad", was killed in a drone attack in the Donetsk area.
The 33-year-old, from Barnsley, left to fight for Vladimir Putin in April after telling his family he was going to Romania. But he was reportedly recruited online by British pro-Russian fighters
Aiden Minnis and Ben Stimson.
Townsend, who had no military experience, was killed on June 10.
A Russia-linked social media account
confirmed Townsend's death and said he had "sacrificed his life for the cause".
In a video interview with Minnis earlier this year, Townsend admitted he "probably wouldn't be able to go home".
He said: "I'm not here for a suicide mission, but I understand that's what can happen. This was my own decision. I wasn't pushed into anything."
Kyiv strikes online giant retail hubs
BY WILL STEWART
UKRAINE marked Independence Day yesterday with huge drone attacks on three major Russian online shopping hubs.
Long-range strikes by Kyiv hit the Amazon-style giant Ozon in Adygea, Dagestan and Stavropol - all regions in the south of Russia. It is the third day running that Ukraine has struck sprawling Ozon hubs.
A warehouse belonging to the Kuchenland home goods chain was also set ablaze in Krasnodar city by a Ukrainian drone.
Debris from a falling drone hit a children's centre killing two youngsters and injuring seven.
Nato scrambled two F-16 jets in Romania after a suspected Kremlin drone crossed into its airspace in the Targu Bujor area after overflying Moldova.
Bucharest said: "Two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, from the 86th air base in Borcea, and an IAR-330 SOCAT helicopter were taken off the ground to monitor the situation."
And Ukraine blitzed the Plesetsk military cosmodrome in Russia's northern Arkhangelsk region with more than 40 drones.
Burnham calls on US to do more to help Ukraine
PM's comments may infuriate President Donald Trump
Ukrainian soldiers lay wreath at national cemetery as Mr Burnham looks on
BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor
ANDY Burnham has risked anger- ing US President Donald Trump by calling on America to do more to help Ukraine.
The Prime Minister yesterday urged Washington to go further by ramping up sanctions and providing Kyiv with additional weaponry and air defence missiles.
His comments come despite Mr Trump repeatedly saying that European allies need to dig deeper in their pockets for defence.
Mr Burnham also dismissed Russian threats after Moscow claimed Britain was now actively participating in the war.
On his first overseas trip as PM, Mr Burnham said: "We do have conversations with our US colleagues about the situation here, and we will continue to do that.
"They have provided funding, they have provided defensive support, and that will continue."
But he added: "We need to go further together, I think, because there are some urgent problems that Ukraine is facing.
"There is an urgent need for air defence support so, anti-ballistic missile support.
"There's also a need for financial support so we will do whatever we can to convene people to share that burden together.
"We will continue to provide steadfast support."
Mr Burnham, who was in Kyiv to chair his first meeting of the “coalition of the willing”, said the group was doing “everything we can” to “dig into our own stocks and help others dig into their stocks”. He also handed President Volodymyr Zelensky classified information about the British components used in SCALP missiles.
Ukraine has run short of interceptors in recent months, with much of the world's stocks being diverted to the Middle East following the outbreak of the Iran war in February.
Consequences
But its forces will now be able to use the blueprints for the long-range weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia.
Moscow accused London of undermining peace efforts, however, and said the PM was adding "fuel to the fire" by helping
Ukraine. Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said his country regarded the “direct involvement of British missile forces” as “participation in the war, with all the ensuing consequences”.
The Kremlin also threatened to destroy the factories manufacturing the components.
Yesterday, on what was Ukraine's Independence Day, Mr Burnham thanked the country for "the incredible stand" it has taken.
He said: "My nation kept the flame of European freedom alive in the 20th century. You hold that flame in the 21st.
“Despite Russia’s outrageous threats to my country, we will continue our support for Ukraine.”
He added: "Ukraine has been Europe's protector – not a drain on our security, but the front line in keeping Europe safe.
"The Ukrainian people deserve not just our continued support, but our gratitude and respect."
Also yesterday, Mr Zelensky presented Mr Burnham with an award recognising the UK's support. And in his own Independence Day speech, Ukraine's leader said his country would "not submit" to Russia, insisting: "Ukrainians will not be cobblestones under the feet of tsars and rulers."
Dutch ditch Eurovision over Israeli conflict
BY CASEY COOPER-FISKE
THE Netherlands has pulled out of the Eurovision Song Contest for the second year in a row.
Dutch public service broadcaster Avrotros appeared to blame Israel's continued participation in the event for the decision.
A statement from the broadcaster read: "Avrotros will not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027 because the event can no longer be considered neutral, with a participating country still involved in a large-scale military conflict."
Taco Zimmerman, director-general of Avrotros, added: "The Eurovision Song Contest was originally created to bring people and countries together.
"It is undeniable that international conflicts are increasingly affecting the contest, undermining its neutral character.
"The Eurovision Song Contest has therefore become a platform for division. As a public broadcaster, we remain committed to our values.
"They guide us in everything we do, even when that means stepping away from an event that is very close to our hearts.
"That is painful as we would have very much liked to be part of the contest again next year."
The Netherlands was one of a number of countries that boycotted this year's event in Vienna, Austria, due to Israel's actions in Gaza. Iceland, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia also declined to take part.
Next year's song contest will take place in Burgas, Bulgaria, after the country's entrant Dara won this year's event with her song Bangaranga. Israel's Noam Bettan came second with the song Michelle.

Women to get ‘gamechanger’ smear test kits
MILLIONS of women in England who have not attended cervical screening appointments will be sent free at-home testing kits on the NHS.
The move has been described as a "gamechanger", offering a "discreet and convenient option" to encourage more women to get tested.
Kits contain a swab to collect a smear sample from the vagina. This is then posted back to NHS labs for free, where it is tested for high-risk human papillomavirus.
HPV is a group of viruses which can be passed on through sexual contact and cause no symptoms.
Target
However, there are around 13 high-risk types known to cause 99.7% of cervical cancers.
Eligible women aged 30 to 65, who have not attended screenings, will be sent invitations through the NHS app, text message, email or by letter.
They will then be able to order a kit through the NHS app or online. The phased rollout forms part of the NHS's target of eliminating cervical cancer by 2040. Dr Sue Mann, national clinical director for women's

health at NHS England, said: "Screening saves thousands of lives by preventing cancers and catching them earlier, but only around two thirds of women are attending screening when invited by the NHS.
"Offering millions of women an alternative test they can do from the comfort of their own homes will be a gamechanger – making it easier than ever for them to get tested for HPV."
Women aged between 24 and 64 are invited for cervical screening every five years. Latest figures from NHS England show 68.8% of eligible women are up to date with their checks, below the 80% target.
This means around four million women are not up to date.
Dr Mann said: "There are lots of reasons that may stop women from getting cervical screening – embarrassment, lack of time, or worries about discomfort – and these kits provide a convenient option."
Gem Sofianos-Boorman was diagnosed with cervical cancer at 28 after taking up her cervical screening invite. Now, 39, she said: "Going to my screening saved my life."
Race Across the World star dies a year after her son
Amount of sleep unchanged
Industrial revolution in sleep patterns
BY STEPHEN BEECH
SLEEP timing rather than duration was changed forever by the industrial revolution, a study says.
It found people living without electric light in three hunter-gatherer societies slept between 6.4 and 7.1 hours a night, similar to or less than the industrialised average.
But they got up and went to bed much earlier – following the cycle of light and dark – than people living in urbanised areas.
Researchers noted an average day for someone in an industrialised area in the middle of the 19th century was thought to consist of eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, and eight hours of sleep.
Disorders
The theory hardened in to common sense, even though sleep patterns were never studied at the time.
Study author Dr Seithikurippu Pandi-Perumal, of Chandigarh University in Mohali, India, said: "What separates industrial sleep from pre-industrial sleep is when it happens and how reliably it repeats. Not how many hours it fills."
The study showed that industrialisation led to sleep moving later, day-to-day regularity falling away, entrainment to natural light weaken, and diagnosable sleep disorders becoming more common.
But total hours of sleep moved least of all, according to the findings.
The study, involving an international research team, also suggests climate change could lead to a rise in sleep disorders.
The study is in the journal Brain Medicine.
'She lived fully and fiercely... she was a joy, our absolute treasure'
Jo died after long battle with cancer
RACE Across the World star Jo Gardiner has died aged 61, a year after her son and co-star Sam was killed in a car crash.
The duo competed in the BBC's global travel competition during its second series in 2020, journeying across South America together.
Jo's family revealed yesterday that she had died "following a long and courageous battle with cancer".
They described the physiotherapist, from Manchester, as “an intrepid adventurer” who was “brave, kind, witty and endlessly loving”.
Their statement continued: "She had a rare gift for making everyone around her feel more alive. She lived fully, fiercely and never did anything by halves.
"She was blessed with countless friends, drawn to her extraordinary magnetism.
BY LUCY NEEDHAM
Somehow, each one felt as though they were among her very best.
"To us, she was more than all of these things. She was our family, our joy, our safe place and our absolute treasure.
"We know how deeply Jo was loved, and we take comfort in knowing that her
laughter, her courage, her kindness and her wonderfully outrageous spirit will live on in the many people whose lives she touched.
"She was one of a kind. There will never be another her."
Jo is survived by her son Charlie. Sam, with whom she appeared on the show, died in June last year aged 24.
The mother and son competed on Race Across the World because Jo wanted to have a travel adventure with Sam, who had ADHD.
They competed against four pairs of contestants racing from Mexico City down to Ushuaia in Argentina. A
Jo and Sam were in series two of the show
Race Across the World spokeswoman said: "We offer our deepest and heartfelt sympathies to Jo's son Charlie, and her wider family and friends.
"Following the tragic death of Jo's son Sam last year, we paid tribute to how integral Sam and Jo had been to series two.
“Millions of people remembered their transformative journey across Latin America in 2020 and we hold that memory in our hearts as we fondly recall Jo’s passion for life, her kindness, her strength and, above all, her utter devotion to Sam and her family.
"At the time of filming, Sam described his mum as amazing – and that is how we will always remember her.
“Jo became the matriarch of the Race Across the World cast family: she leaves a lasting legacy in the many lives that she touched, both through the series and beyond. It was a privilege to share her story and she will be deeply missed.”
Illicit vapes and cigs in £1m haul seized in operation
A CRACKDOWN on the booming trade in illegal cigarettes and vapes has seized a haul worth £1million across one city in just 12 months.
The swoop by Greater Manchester Police included £275,000 of cigarettes, many of them hidden behind hydraulic false walls, ceilings and floors in a bid to avoid detection.
The force also seized £162,000 of illegal vapes, £160,000 of shisha, £97,000 of rolling tobacco and £211,000 of other counterfeit goods as part of Operation Elswick in which officers teamed up with Manchester's Trading Standards.
The operation was launched after intelligence highlighted a persistent and escalating problem across the city of Manchester.
It brought together the GMP district intelligence team, Trading Standards, Manchester City Council, and detection-dog special-

ists WagTail. Referrals were also made to HMRC, ensuring a joined-up approach that aims for long-term disruption of criminal activity.
The strategy has led to several shops being referred to the taxman, where they face potential fines of up to £10,000, and several premises are now subject to closure notices following repeat offending.
Det Chief Insp Chris Woodburn, of the City of Manchester's Operation Challenger unit which carried out the raids, said: "This has been an integrated operation to tackle illicit vapes and cigarettes.
"Seizures have now totalled over £1m, which we know will have a massive impact on illegal operations in the area and sends a clear message that we will not tolerate this.
"Our work in this area will continue as we are committed to tackling the issue of illegal vapes and cigarettes which fund wider crime and harm public health.
"I would encourage the public to pass on any information relating to sales to CrimeStoppers, which can be done anonymously by calling 0800 555 111."
Councillor Basat Sheikh, executive member for neighbourhoods at
Manchester City Council, said: "From the outset, Operation Elswick has shown precisely what can be achieved through strong partnership working between Manchester City Council and Greater Manchester Police.
"We have made significant strides in disrupting criminal networks that profit from selling illicit, substandard and potentially dangerous goods across our communities.
"Seizing over £1m worth of illegal products is a major milestone and a testament to the dedication of officers from both organisations.
"We will continue this relentless work to protect our residents, support legitimate local businesses and keep Manchester safe."

Drones are on track to nab railway vandals and reduce disruptions
BY CHRIS RICHES
POLICE are launching aerial drones over rail lines to catch vandals who cause delays.
The flying gadgets are kept in weatherproof boxes near the tracks and launched remotely by pilots who could be hundreds of miles away in London when an incident is reported.
Since British Transport Police launched its first drone depot in Leeds in April 2025, four sites have been introduced across South London and Leicester.
Now Manchester has been added with the eye in the sky monitoring the north-west of the city, which is a hotspot for disruption.
Chief Constable Lucy D'Orsi said the average response time since April had been three minutes and 28 seconds.
She added: "The fundamental difference is we wouldn't be able to get officers there that quick.
"We're just over a year on from our first site launch in Leeds and it's great to see our remote drone capability is helping us reach incidents faster, make better decisions and minimise disruption to the railway while keeping people safe."
Between April 1 and July 25 the system had 550 flights, with drones typically being the first on scene for $68\%$ of callouts.
BTP drone head Simon Bachelor said one big benefit was establishing quickly whether there was someone on the railway track, thus avoiding lengthy checks and transport delays.
They have also been used to help locate vulnerable people.
Withnail and us ...Richard has an A-list dinner
RICHARD E Grant's permanently sloshed character in Withnail and I could barely muster one friend, but that doesn't appear to be the case for the actor in real-life.
The Saltburn star, 69, shared a snap of himself seated at a dinner table with his celebrity pals on Instagram, captioned:
"It's my party & I'll cry if I want to." Joining Grant - who seemed to be far from tears - were comedy star Steve Martin, 81, his wife, writer Anne Stringfield, 54, and Slow Horses actor Sir Gary Oldman, 68, and his art curator wife Gisele Schmidt, 64.
They were accompanied by Harry Potter star Helena
Bonham Carter, 60, US actress Christine Baranski, 74, plus comedian Martin Short, 76, and his son Henry, 37.
Grant's daughter Olivia, 37, is also in the flower-filled photo, as well as a diner identified only as 'Mark'.
Grant recently said he would never forgive those who kept their distance after the death of his wife Joan in 2021.
He told The Times: "There are people that have been edited out of my life and I will never see them again.
"If I had done that to them, I wouldn't be able to look them in the face." This lot must have passed the test.
High street coffees with same caffeine as four Red Bulls
Costa's cappuccino is the strongest
SOME chain store coffee can contain as much caffeine as four cans of energy drink Red Bull, research revealed.
BY GRAHAM HISCOTT
Consumer group Which? studied the caffeine in a latte, espresso, cappuccino, filter coffee, Americano, flat white and matcha at Caffe Nero, Costa, Greggs, Pret and Starbucks.
Costa had the strongest medium cappuccino, at 325mg of caffeine per cup. That is around the same amount as four cans of Red Bull (80mg per can) and three and a half times as much as a Starbucks cappuccino (89mg).
The second and third-highest, Greggs and Caffe Nero, were at 235mg and 221mg respectively.
Those after an espresso hit can get 180mg of caffeine in a 50ml shot at Pret, 100mg in a 30ml serving at Costa, 75mg at Greggs, 67mg at Caffe Nero, to a low of

Nero, and 180mg at Pret.
A medium-size Americano ranged from 89mg at Starbucks up to 325mg at Costa. People advised to cut caffeine for health reasons, including pregnancy, should avoid potent brews.

J AMES Norton says working on House of the Dragon felt like being part of a big, sexy circus. The 41-year-old star, who plays Lord Ormund
Hightower in season three of the HBO hit, says the most amazing thing about the fantasy epic is the sheer scale of the production.
He says: "The set builds were extraordinary, the armour, the swords, everything is kind of like pitch-perfect.
"These kind of shows, you're so supported. There's so many people, thousands and thousands.
"So, in a way, I felt like I was joining this massive circus, but it
was the sort of biggest, best, sexiest circus in the world.
"You have all the stunts and the machines and the toys and everything else. So it's fun. It's a big old playground."
"I have never been on a set like it."
And the attention to detail on the vast set, which was built at Warner Bros Studios Levesden in Hertfordshire, stunned James.
He adds: "My main set was this place called Tumble-ton, which is a three-quarters of an acre build. They basically built a town. You could walk around the town. It would take you a good 10 to 15 minutes, and you'd be going down different streets, and every so often I'd find a door, and I'd open it, and inside would be this incredible carving.
"Someone has spent hours on this door. And I'm like, 'that's never going to get in shot'.
House of Dragon make-up
In Happy Valley
"But for me, as I'm standing waiting to enter the scene from this door, I'm looking at it, that actually lifts your game."
He says the one real pressure was joining a world the fans know inside out – the show, the latest season of which ended earlier this month, is a prequel to blockbuster series Game of Thrones, based on George RR Martin's fantasy novels.
James tells The Arts Hour on the BBC World Service: "One of the pressures is that you're aware you're never going to know as much about the world as the die-hard fans.
James is now involved in another huge job, playing the band's manager Brian Epstein in Sam Mendes's new Beatles films. He spent five weeks shooting in Barcelona with the young stars playing the Fab Four, and said he had a blast on the project.
"You can research [but] there will always be a team of people who just know so much more.
“That’s a pressure which I sort of tried to contend with, and then gave up on. So, in a way, you relax.”

Ringo Starr and Joseph Quinn plays George Harrison. James says of them: "The boys are extraordinary. They're playing all the tunes themselves. They've spent this incredible amount of time learning their instruments.
"Paul Mescal's playing the bass with his left hand, he's flipped sides. They're having an immense amount of fun."

so lovely.
Director Sam Mendes is making four films, each through the eyes of a band member, for release in 2028, with Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney and Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono.
"The boys are doing strenuous activity, they're on stage playing. I'm standing watching, being sort of adoring. But once you stand on set for a long time, there's nothing better than getting into some ice-cold water."
He led the Netflix drama House of Guinness for Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, and takes the throne as Harold in the 1066 epic King & Conqueror, opposite former Game of Thrones star Nikolaj
Coster-Waldau as William the Conqueror.
OOKMAKERS had him as a favourite to become the next James Bond but now ruled that out.
He says: “I can honestly, hand on heart, say no. I think I may be a little bit long in the tooth now.”
Though fiercely private, it is known he was engaged to actress Imogen Poots, his partner of around five years, but that they split in 2023.
He has said: "I lost the person, but I also lost the life I was about to lead, the kids we had named."
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 22, James is an ambassador for the charity Breakthrough T1D, and read a CBeebies bedtime story to help children understand the condition, which his mother and sister also have.
But he insists of the condition: "I never thought for a moment it would slow me down."

There are more than 4,000 species at the zoo, and all are regularly weighed and measured to monitor their health, development and identify any pregnancies.
The zoo's smallest animals are Partula snails, which weigh less than 1g. All the measurements are added to a system shared with conservationists across the world.
Daniel Simmonds, animal operations manager at the zoo, said: "Regular weigh-ins help zookeepers track the health of our animals and genuinely help us manage their care, playing a vital role in our conservation efforts."
The Zoological Society of London, which runs the zoo, celebrated its 200th anniversary earlier this year. London Zoo itself opened in 1828.

I saw people die as a soldier but nothing prepared me for the death of my dog... A fifth of people say the loss of a beloved pet is harder than losing a person. Army veteran and Express senior reporter CONOR WILSON pays tribute to his recently departed cocker spaniel Teddy and explores the grief of losing man's best friend
SPENT years preparing for the day, and then found myself utterly unprepared when it came. Without me or my family realising it, Teddy, our dog of nearly 14 years, had become the soundtrack of our lives for over a decade. The sound of his paws on the wooden floor and the whimpering for dinner that we could set our watch by had accompanied every special moment.
As we navigated marriage, parenthood, birthdays, Christmases and first days of school, Teddy was there through it all.
Until he wasn't.
Suddenly, I no longer had to tell the children to close the front door in case Teddy got out, because Teddy was gone. Food dropped on the floor now had to be cleared up by hand, and the sounds that had unknowingly seeped into my everyday consciousness were gone in the space of an hour, replaced by an unsettling silence that I'm still struggling to come to terms with.
Teddy became mine by default. In 2012, my then girlfriend, now wife, got him as a puppy on impulse from a family who had bought him as a birthday present but had given little thought as to how they would actually care for him.
Everybody told her not to, but there was something about his face and the way his fur felt when she cuddled him like a teddy bear (hence the name) that she decided to ignore logic, and them.
Months later we moved in together and the rest is history.
Teddy quickly transformed from my girlfriend's dog to my best mate. I would laugh at the way this usually placid dog would shake his bum like a salsa dancer at the mere mention of the word "park" and how his love for bananas meant he would be roused from a deep sleep by the faint whiff of one being opened in another room.
He was stupid and he was brilliant.
Over the years, his calm nature meant that he became a permanent resting place for tired toddlers. Looking through my camera roll after he passed, it shocked me just how many photos were of my boys, Albert and Gabriel, with their heads or feet draped over him. As they got older, the roles reversed and there were just as many of him sprawled across their laps.
Losing a pet is like nothing I have ever been through. I saw people die as a soldier and I have said goodbye to loved ones who shaped me into the man I am today, but this was different.
According to the Dog's Trust, $38\%$ of owners were surprised by how deeply grief affected them while a study in the journal PLOS One found that among those who had lost both a pet and a person close to them, more than one in five said the death of their pet had been the most distressing loss they had experienced.
It feels wrong to compare the death of a grandparent – in my case my beloved Nana Olivia – with the loss of a dog.
But the reality is that, despite my attempts to convince myself it wasn't the case, the loss of Teddy hit me harder than anything I had ever experienced.
HAT'S not because I didn't love my Nana – because I did so immeasurably, but she lived hundreds of miles away. I didn't wake up with her on my feet, I didn't trip over her every night I cooked dinner and she didn't sit next to me each time I sat on the sofa.
For me and for many others, losing a pet hits so hard because they are always there. Every moment – good, bad or mundane – has them in the background.
Their smell, their hair and their toys fill up every corner of a house and make it a home meaning their loss is painful and ever-present.
Mark Vahrmeyer, who as a
'Losing a pet hits so hard because they're always there for every moment, good or bad'
psychotherapist specialises in helping people overcome bereavement and loss, found himself navigating it for real last month when his
Furcher Sun was put to sleep. He told me: "One of the difficulties with grief is that we often expect it to behave logically, as though the intensity of our pain should correspond to a hierarchy of relationships.
"Psychologically, grief does not work like that. We grieve according to the nature of the attachment and the place that relationship occupied in our lives. For that reason, it is entirely possible to experience the death of a pet as profoundly, or sometimes more profoundly, than the death of a human being.
"A pet may have been beside us every day for 10 or 15 years, accompanying us through changes in relationships, homes, careers and family life. They become woven into the fabric of everyday existence."
In my experience, more than the loss of a presence is the feeling that I have been robbed of a purpose. A strand of the things that for so long shaped my days were lost within hours. My days no longer started with a hungry dog tapping his bowl and they no longer ended with me letting him into the garden for a wee.
Mark concurred: "The hardest part for me was the abrupt disappearance of a routine that had structured our lives for more than 14 years.
"A pet may be the creature who greeted you every morning, accompanied you on thousands of walks and quietly witnessed a decade or more of your life. Losing them means losing not only someone you love, but a particular version of everyday life."
Over the last few years, I had found myself increasingly aware that Teddy's best days were behind him.
I hugged him tighter, I took more photos, and at moments I tried to soak up what his presence felt like – as if capturing a photographic memory that might ease the pain that loomed ominously like a dark cloud on the horizon. In this context the annoyance at the daft things he did was diluted by a knowing feeling that I'd one day miss them.
Cleaning him up after he had rolled in something foul, or walking into the kitchen to see the bin tipped on its side and the contents all over the floor, was still annoying – but I knew that one day, they would become funny anecdotes. That day is now today. The anticipation of his inevitable death came against the backdrop of a health record that I am convinced kept at least two vets in business over the last decade.
On more than one occasion I had questioned in my head whether the latest illness or procedure would be his last, and I had in many ways begun the process of dealing with the grief before it occurred.
Like a lot of things I have learned over the last few weeks, that is also common, and is known as anticipatory grief.
Alex Frith never had children. It wasn't because she couldn't have them, but rather that life had simply worked out that way and she reached a point where she decided motherhood was no longer in her future.
As such, her “king” Basil became the recipient of her maternal love, bringing light in the dark times that followed the tragic and sudden passing of her father.
Basil's deteriorating health, which included ever-more frequent seizures, and the loss of her father and of other pets emphasised the fragile nature of life and the inevitable part death plays in it.
Alex said: "Basil would sleep on the bed and quite often come and sleep next to me.
“Sometimes, if I’d had a rough day or was feeling sad, I would lie there looking at him and suddenly get incredibly upset because I thought, ‘He’s just not going to be here soon.’ It was looming over me all the time.”
In Basil's final months, Alex nursed him, sleeping on alert next to him as seizures gripped, much like a new mother would do next to her sick baby.
She added: "Afterwards, I actually wasn't as bad as I thought I would be.
"Then I felt incredibly guilty about that.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, maybe I didn't love him enough. Why am I not crying more?"
"But I think I was in shock. And I think I'd grieved him so hard while he was still alive that there was also an element of relief.
"I didn't have to go to bed frightened any more. He wasn't going through that suffering any more."
IANE James works as head of people services at Blue Cross and helps people navigate pet loss.
She said: "The most important thing is that people understand what they're feeling is normal. Everybody is different.
"How somebody deals with the loss, whether they get another pet straight away or much later, is entirely individual. There is no one way to grieve. It is unique to you, but it is normal."
The obvious question, one that in hindsight I would advise people not ask in the immediate aftermath, is “are you going to get another”?
It is well-intentioned, of course – the kids left it about two hours before asking – but in the initial days and weeks, the pain is too raw to consider replacing them like a broken-down dishwasher.
Three weeks after Teddy's death, I would like to think another dog is in my family's future.
The pain of grief has understandably put my wife off dog ownership forever, but I hope that will change.
Without wanting to sound like a self-help podcast bro, grief is a privilege.
How lucky I am to have loved a daft four-legged creature so much that I randomly feel like I've been punched in the chest when I'm unexpectedly hit by a memory of him.
Losing Teddy was the hardest thing I have been through.
But weighed against the 14 years of unadulterated love, happiness and stupidity that he brought to my family's life, I would go through it all again in a heartbeat.

Flour power
500-year-old watermill
keeps tearoom in cakes
BY FILIPA GASPAR
HERITAGE champions David and Kathy Jones rose to the challenge of taking on a 500-year-old watermill – baking delicious cakes and buns from its flour.
They have run Hele Cornmill and Tearoom in Ilfracombe since 2011, after moving to Devon from London for a new life.
The grade II-listed plant was built for the first Earl of Bath, John Bouchier, and operated up until the mid-1930s when it fell into dereliction.
It was restored by local Chris Lovell in the 1970s but by the time the Jones family arrived, it had ground to a halt.
Kathy and David began their continuing repairs and now mill heritage wheat Maris Wigeon, grown in Dorset and powered by their neighbouring river. The flour is baked into cakes and bread, including Devonshire splits – sweet rolls filled with cream and jam – sold at their awardwinning tearoom. Kathy has also made around 100,000 scones from bought flour.
David said: "Carrying sacks of wheat when you're in your late 60s gets harder and harder.
"We have a pact that if we both say we want to sell it and keep that up for three months, we'd put it on the market. But there's always one of us who
peaks and says, 'I can't sell'. I'm very proud, I like the idea of looking after national heritage. The watermill keeps us on our toes."
Over-50s can still fly high
BUDGET airline easyJet is launching a drive to hire more older workers as cabin crew.
It follows the success of a similar move the carrier made in 2022, when the number of cabin crew over the age of 50 more than doubled, and over-60s almost quadrupled.
Recruitment will open next month for hundreds of new crew positions starting work next year.
Among those to take the plunge the first time around was Francesca Hicks, 64, a former secretary and nurse for people living with dementia.
She attended a taster open day, submitted her application, and completed a series of interviews before joining her cabin crew training course.
Eighteen months on, she is now a fully trained cabin crew member and has taken to the skies more than 250 times.
"When the opportunity to join easyJet as cabin crew came up, I jumped at the chance," says Francesca.
"I knew I already held all the skills required for the job, but it gave me another way to use my communication, organisation and interpersonal skills in a new and exciting setting.
"The reception my fellow new joiners and I have
Employment minister Mr Western
BY GRAHAM HISCOTT
received has been overwhelmingly positive. This, and the experiences I've had over the past 18 months, have given me a confidence and sense of fulfilment that I'll take with me through the next stage of my career."
EasyJet says the new wave of older workers has brought years of experience, and “enthusiasm in abundance”.
The airline added that many people assume cabin crew is a job for younger workers, and worry they will be the oldest in the team.
But Michael Brown, its director of cabin services,
“We want more over-50s to apply, as they not only bring their existing skills to excel in a career at easyJet, but also a wealth of life experience that is appreciated by our customers and colleagues alike.”
Employment minister Andrew Western said: "Supportive employers like easyJet know the breadth of experience over-50s can bring to the workforce."
EasyJet says nearly seven in 10 crew said travellers were pleased to see different generations represented on board.

The 53-year-old freestyles his creations, which sell for £20 to £7,000, specialising in wildlife.
He was working in the building trade when his mum asked him if he could knock up a

Owls are his best-seller but he is particularly proud of a giant stag, elephant and rearing horse.

Delight after phone number restored
A house move led to a delay in the "live" delivery date for a couple's services
IT WAS the ideal solution for a couple moving home - broadband, TV and landline services all combined at their new address.
"Our old provider could not cover these, so we swapped. There was no problem when we were warned the phone might take a little longer as what we most wanted was to keep our number," John and Pam Hudson told Crusader.
Happy to sign up with EE, the consumer brand part of the BT Group, their “live” delivery date then changed and a couple of weeks on they were still waiting.
“Customer services are very nice, but we are increasingly being told the hold-up is down to our telephone number request,” John added when asking for Crusader’s support and acknowledging that the 5G mini-hub they had been sent to keep them in touch in the meantime was helping.
In our experience customers being able to keep their original phone number is one of the things that matters most to them, whether that's a mobile or landline one. Of course that's understandable as the prospect of letting everyone you know of a change or missing out on something important because you can't be reached can be very daunting.
When we alerted EE to the Hudsons' problem, there was considerable cause for hope as it seemed EE was doing all it could to get the couple the services they wanted.
A company spokesperson said: "We're sorry that Mr [Hudson's] experience fell below the high standard of service we strive to deliver to our customers.
"We can confirm that his broadband and TV services are now live and we apologise for the fault that caused these services to be delayed.
"As initially advised, we were unable to place an order using his original phone number. A new order with a temporary number has now been placed and we expect the landline service to be live imminently."
And it got even better five days later when the promise of the old number being reinstated was fulfilled and as the delays became just a memory the Hudsons received a £50 goodwill gesture too.
"We could not be happier and appreciate everyone's effort," they told Crusader.

PREMIUM ADULT RABBIT FOOD

Shell shock in the sun
We have recently inherited a family Greek tortoise, as an elderly relative can no longer look after him. He is about 60 years old and has access to the garden. With the weather we have been having can you tell me if tortoises are at risk from heat stroke? If so, what are the signs to be aware of?
A Tortoises are at risk from heat stroke with the temperatures we have been experiencing this summer. Although in their natural habitat they can tolerate high temperatures briefly, this is only when they can choose a cooler, shady spot. Continuous exposure to the sun in high temperatures is an obvious risk, especially since the temperature on the shell and the ground can be much higher than the air temperature.
'Can my tortoise get heat stroke?'
Other major risk factors include a lack of shade on hot days, being trapped in a greenhouse, conservatory, glass or plastic shelter, poor ventilation and no access to vegetation.
Elderly tortoises are especially at risk, but also juveniles whose smaller mass means they can heat up quickly.
Lack of access to drinking and bathing water is certainly another very important contributing factor.
Warning signs to be aware of include a tortoise trying desperately to escape, if it is confined. Open mouth breathing, gasping and frothy salivation with bubbles are serious signs of impending collapse. Later, the head and limbs hang limply and walking becomes impossible. Signs can appear suddenly with very little warning.
If this happens, move the tortoise to a cool space, place in room temperature water and call your vet for emergency advice.
Q My male crossbreed dog is now six months old, and has had some worm treatment. I am asking if you recommend further treatment, and how often. I am confused by all the different type of worms, and various products in my local pet store and supermarket.
A When I first qualified there were relatively few parasites affecting dogs to worry about. These were fleas, roundworms and tapeworms. Since then, some parasites, only found previously in localised areas, have become present in many parts of the UK. For example, ticks are now found everywhere, and lungworm similarly. The number of parasites, for which treatment and subsequent protection is advisable, has also increased greatly over the years. And that doesn't include parasites normally only seen in continental Europe, making their way to the UK as a consequence of pet travel.
It's not surprising, therefore, that you are confused by what you are seeing locally. I am sure you would expect me to say this, but for good effective treatment and prevention of all parasites capable of affecting dogs, veterinary expertise is essential. It's not just a question of which products are best, but also how to use them correctly, and how often to apply them.
Vets are increasingly adopting risk assessments for individual dogs, to include lifestyle. This aims to ensure that a dog is only prescribed the products it actually needs, and at the correct intervals. To de-mystify this complex subject, I recommend the European Scientific Counsel Companion Animal Parasites (UK & Ireland) for a comprehensive review on all aspects of parasite control for pet owners – see esccapuk.org.uk

BEST CONTEST RACE AGAINST THE TIDE BBC2, 7.30PM
TODAY'S TV ONES TO WATCH
by MIKE WARD TV critic
DO WE REALLY NEED THE MOON?, BBC4, 11.55PM
THIS title is misleading. There are no current plans for the Moon to be abolished. I've checked. But it's an interesting question even so, posed by The Sky At Night's Maggie Aderin, because it's easy to take our natural satellite for granted.
The Moon, she reminds us, determines the ebb and flow of our tides. And it dictates how long a day is. It also provides a rhythm for the four seasons (not to be confused with LA-based drummer Andy Sanesi, who provides a rhythm for The Four Seasons).
Oh, and it's moving further and further away, by 3.78cm a year – "about the same speed our fingernails grow".
Pick of the day THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE, BBC1, 8PM
THE POINTY SISTER'S GREATEST HITS
CELEBRITY HUNTED, C4, 9PM
CALL me dim – or, ideally, don't – but I assumed this latest Celebrity Hunted series was operating along the same lines as the previous ones.
I assumed the final episode (which this is) would be full of drama, with the remaining fugitives needing to evade capture for just a couple more days, but that ultimately it would end in smiles all round.
Tonight, however, chief hunter Ray insists those celebs are “living on borrowed time” while Lucy Conley, still on the run with dad Brian, fears they’ll need camouflage gear “if we’re to get out of here alive.”
Their agent has some explaining to do.
WELL QUIPPED Host Sophie Willan
OULD you believe it's music week on The Great British Sewing Bee? And they're kicking off by making pointy bras. Why? Well, because Madonna wears those, doesn't she? Or she used to; maybe she
doesn't wear them so often nowadays, they can't be very comfy.
The music/sewing link there feels pretty tenuous, you'll agree. But I suppose it'll do. It can't have been easy for the producers, the judges, or whoever's job it is to dream up these weekly themes, to think of connections between those two worlds. It must have been even harder for them to remember why they felt the need to.
Anyway, yes, like I say: pointy bras. Or "conical", if you prefer. But, as judge Esme
Young warns the contestants, this is a complex challenge. It's not just about the cone-shaped quilted cups. It's also about the "mesh bodice with bones in, and the zip at the front".
I must say it sounds like a right palaver, this thing, both to make and to wear. Speaking as a chap, I'm particularly glad I'll never have to walk around in any kind of clothing with bones in it, although I dare say my dog would love me to.
Next, for the transformation challenge, the contestants must take a range of bedroom textiles (sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers etc) and turn these into "outfits for pop stars".
Now, at this point in the episode, you'll notice that the opportunity for dreadful puns is disappointingly underexploited, and so I shall pause for a moment and treat you to some of my own. Are you ready? Great.
Bed Zeppelin. Simply Bed. Bed Sheeran, Sheet Loaf. Sleepwood Mac. Sleep Purple. Snoozy Quatro. Guns N' Dozes...
Right. Glad I've got that out of my system. Where were we?
Oh, yes. We were waiting to hear what the third and final music week challenge would be. The answer is that the sewers must each make an outfit “inspired by the outrageous fashion of disco”.
Yes, that's what host Sophie Willan is about to announce as they return to their benches after a break.
"Welcome back, my little sewing Bee Gees!" she cries.
Took her long enough to think of that one.
Ian Stirling (above) hosts the niche contest as six teams set up on St Andrews' beach to create sand art that reflects what home means to them before the tide comes in.

Relax fully with the massage and heat of the Artemis Home Marldon Electric Riser Recliner. Integrated massage points work across the seat, lower back and upper back, easing tension wherever you feel it, while a warming heat function in the lumbar area adds a gentle, comforting warmth - the kind of quiet comfort that turns an ordinary evening in the chair into something restorative. Together with the chair's supportive lumbar design, the warmth settles into the lower back while the massage points work quietly along the length of the spine, so tension eases as you sit.
EVERYTHING FROM ONE HAND CONTROL

single hand control at your side. The recline, the lift-assist, the massage and the warmth are all a button away, so there is nothing complicated to learn and nothing out of reach.
RECLINE AND RISE WITH EASE Running on a robust metal mechanism, the recline is fully electric and entirely variable, moving with a smooth, even motion you can rely on. Carry the chair from fully upright and supported to completely reclined, and hold it at any point along the way - whichever angle suits reading, watching television, dozing or simply sitting quietly. When you are ready to get up, the lift-assist tilts the chair gently forward at the press of a button, bringing you towards standing without effort or hurry, so getting in and out becomes something you barely think about.
MADE FOR LASTING COMFORT Beneath the durable textured linen upholstery sits a solid hardwood frame, built to hold both its shape and its comfort for years - a chair that quietly looks after you, day in and day out, and is covered by a one-year guarantee.

It is dark when Jem returns. He apologises for having been gone so long, but says there's no time to explain. "We've got to get up to Jinks's place straightaway!" he says. "Be sure to wrap up warm. We may have a long, cold wait." A few minutes later the three of them set off towards Jonty Jinks's home, warmly clad and carrying a couple of powerful torches.

Morrisons pledges to match rivals as price war hots up
MORRISONS has pledged to match prices with its rivals on hundreds of products, as the debt-ridden grocer ramps up the price war between UK supermarkets.
The private-equity-owned chain has vowed that 500 of its “everyday essentials” will not be found cheaper at Tesco,
Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi or Lidl.
Britain's supermarkets are fighting to attract cash-strapped shoppers, as recent data shows that intense discounting among rival grocers is keeping a lid on prices.
Industry figures had warned the Iran war could cause food inflation to spiral this year but the rate of price rises slowed in June. Retailers say their discounting is shielding shoppers from the conflict in the absence of any government action.
Morrisons has said it will match rivals' prices on products including bananas, bread, chicken fillets, bacon and pizza.
The Bradford-based chain said the offer also extends to fresh lines including its fishmonger and bakery counters.
Alex Paver, Morrisons' customer and marketing director, said: "Customers shouldn't have to choose between great prices and great quality – and at Morrisons they don't have to. Our
Food prices are remaining stable
BY FELIX ARMSTRONG
unbeatable price commitment means customers can trust that the prices on these products simply won't be beaten by Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi or Lidl."
Morrisons suffered a £629million pre-
tax loss in the year to October 2025. It shed nearly 5,000 jobs in the period, as it closed its newspaper delivery service and downsized its Rathbones bakery business. The firm has grappled with a mounting debt pile since its £7bn takeover by private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice in 2021. Its net debt grew from £7.1bn to £7.5bn in the last year.
A renewed focus on keeping prices down has led to a row within the grocery industry over whether retailers are wooing shoppers with fake discounts. Earlier this month, Aldi boss Giles Hurley backed a government crackdown on “rip-off” discounts, claiming that supermarkets which offer loyalty card prices are giving shoppers only “the impression they’re getting a great deal”.
Tesco and Sainsbury's hit back, with sources at both pointing to a competition watchdog probe which largely exonerated grocers' use of loyalty discounts.
POUNDLAND nearly doubled its losses amid what bosses described as "difficult trading conditions" and a "significant programme of restructuring".
The discount retailer slumped to an £85.2m pre-tax loss in the year to September 2025, down from £45.4m in 2024.
Its sales fell 12% to £1.5bn. Poundland was bought by
US-based investment firm Gordon Brothers for £1 in July 2025, though it has put it up for sale again. It has shed 11% of its staff while 149 stores were closed in a restructure.
The firm said it used 2025 as a "reset moment" and added: "It has positioned the company as well as it could be in terms of its turnaround."

Jobs are being created for in-store staff and delivery drivers at its 1,400 outlets across the UK and Ireland.
The firm also said it had carried out research showing how jobs often seen as short-term can provide valuable experience, transferable skills and opportunities for longer-term progression.
Domino's said nine in 10 of its store managers started out as an in-store team member or driver.
Sarah Barron, chief commercial and operating officer, said: "People join
Domino's at different stages of their working lives.
"Some are looking for a first job or seasonal role, some want flexible work, and others are looking for a career change, a return to work or an opportunity to build practical business and leadership skills on the job."

Shein to float for knock-down price
FAST fashion firm Shein could be valued at £19.8billion when it debuts on the Hong Kong stock market.
Next week's flotation - after being blocked in London and New York by political and regulatory scrutiny - is less than the £22bn it is believed the Chinese-founded group anticipated.
The online retail giant, which sells extremely cheap clothes, slumped to a £73million bottom-line loss in the first quarter of 2026.
It has been hit by higher tariffs on small packages imposed by US president Donald Trump and the EU.
Shein also faces competition from Chinese rival Temu and changing demand, with youngsters rejecting wear-once items for second-hand clothes sold on the likes of Vinted.
It will sell 280 million shares for £4.44 to £4.62 next Tuesday, aiming to raise up to £1.3bn.

Don't send us the bill for Harry and Meghan return
SO, THE dynamic duo are coming back ("Back in the fold but not in the Firm", August 21).
After trying to trash the Royal Family, they reportedly failed in America and are no longer welcome in their desired circles.
Now they return to the UK in the hope of being welcomed back.
While the King will be happy to have his grandchildren nearby, I am sure taxpayers will not welcome any agreement to fund their return (“Harry and Meghan must pay their own security bill”, Letters, August 24).
John James,
Princes Risborough, Bucks
LETTER OF THE DAY
It was the Sussexes' idea to return... they can pay
I DON'T see why Harry and Meghan are asking for taxpayer-funded security to stay here in England, especially with the additional risk of their children attending school here.
This relocation was their private choice as a family, not a state or royal occasion, and taxpayers were given no say. If something goes wrong, will the public have to foot the bill for another of Harry's famous court cases?
Phil Newby, who is suffering from motor neurone disease
PM, look Phil in the eye and tell him 'no'
NO INTELLIGENT, caring and open-minded leader could fail to respond to terminally ill Phil Newby's heartbreaking plea to be allowed an end of life choice ("Let's talk about assisted dying, Mr Burnham... while I still can", August 24).
But like all UK politicians, the PM believes that too much individual responsibility and freedom of choice challenges their right to take such decisions for us, making us less dependent on the state.
Nothing typifies this more than seven unelected Peers raising most of the 1,200 spurious amendments blocking the will of the Commons and the people – and we’ve had just three referendums in our history.
Roy Daniels, Kingsclere, Hants
Valerie Silver, Basingstoke, Hants
Couple hated UK so much - yet here they are again
MEGHAN and Harry now want to live in the UK – a country they publicly demonised as so racist and toxic that it caused them suicidal thoughts, despite all the privilege they enjoyed here. Is that not the teeniest bit inconsistent?
Duncan Hartley, Solihull, W Mids
Strip Andrew and Fergie's princessy girls of titles
I AGREE with Carole Malone regarding Eugenie and Beatrice forsaking their royal titles (August 22). As princesses, they have never given anything back to the public and have only lived the high life and are on a cushy number.
We should be thankful they've both landed wealthy husbands to keep them in the comforts to which they are accustomed.
Annette Hale, Aldridge, W Mids
'Don't rape' booklet is a waste of taxpayers' cash
SO, THE Home Office has come up with a “cunning plan” to give a booklet to all illegal arrivals explaining they should not sexually assault our female population (“Don’t rape or beat up women when in Britain”, August 20).
Ministers are probably among the few people who actually think it will be read. I wonder how many languages this booklet will be printed in?
Furthermore, they should consider adding a paragraph pointing out that it is illegal in this country to carry a dagger.
This sounds like another complete waste of taxpayers' money on a problem that can only be properly resolved by taking total control of our borders.
Patricia East,
Patricia East, Guildford, Surrey
If these illegals are such a danger why let them in?
AS JUDY Finnigan succinctly points out, the Home Office asylum seekers' sex leaflet "is an implicit admission that some would-be immigrants are, de facto, potential sex offenders" "Sorry state of asylum sex leaflet", August 22).
Given its awareness of such a predisposition doesn't this in turn, render the Home Office tacitly complicit in such behaviour?
Richard Harris, Ipswich, Suffolk
We are a dumping ground for the world's criminals
IFA PERSON'S morals are such that they do not understand that it is not only illegal but wrong to rape women and molest young girls, they should not be in Britain.
What sort of countries do they come from where this behaviour is acceptable? As long as pro-immigration groups and apologists accuse everyone of racism, these offences will continue.
Instead of condemning the
Government's attempt to inform immigrants of their responsibilities, these groups should welcome it.
In the 2023/24 financial year Britain spent a record £5.38billion on its asylum system – it cannot become a dumping ground for the world's criminals.
Colin Judge, Poynton, Cheshire
Time to get serious and end this French farce now
ANY critics of current border controls should read the front page of the Daily Express to realise the impact of not stopping the boats and illegal migration (“‘In France we too are afraid of illegal migrants’”, August 22). British politicians and President Macron must get together with the rest of Europe for a permanent solution.
Andrew Tiffin, Tiptree, Essex
Freebies for all - except for our working families
I'M FED-UP with wealthy people getting freebies. We see MPs accepting free tickets to major venues like Wimbledon when they should know better. At the same time, asylum seekers get access to places like Kew Gardens for just a couple of such as, while working families cannot afford to take their children. All these reduced costs and “credit” benefits should be stopped. Working people have enough problems without watching illegals and shirkers access places they can only dream of visiting.

GIVEN the piddling fine FIFA has handed Argentina over their misconduct at the World Cup, it seems clear Gianni Infantino will have secured the Argentine FA's vote ("10-game ban for Paredes", August 22). In future, Argentina's players might as well have a whip -round to cover their own fines.

EMPLOY NATION'S FASTEST BRICKIE TO HELP BUILD MORE PRISONS
CONGRATULATIONS to Dale Wherton for becoming the fastest UK bricklayer by laying an incredible number of bricks is such a short space of time (“Quickie brickie... Dale lays 859 bricks in hour to break record”, August 21).
Dale is now heading to Las Vegas in the United States in January to compete for the world title.

ON THIS DAY
95 years ago (1931) We revealed ex-Labour PM Ramsay MacDonald and Tory leader Stanley Baldwin had agreed to lead a new National Government to tackle the "grave" economic crisis sparked by the Wall Street crash and the global depression.
Divisions in the cabinet had caused the collapse of Britain's second Labour Government and forced MacDonald to resign.
37 years ago (1989) NASA's unmanned Voyager 2 spacecraft sent back the ever first close up pictures of Neptune and its satellite objects, including its largest moon Triton.
Composed of mainly gases and liquids, Neptune is more than two billion miles from Earth and is the most distant planet from us in our solar system.
25 years ago (2001) American R'n'B singer and actress Aaliyah and several members of her entourage were killed when their twin-engine private plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Bahamas.
An inquiry found the Cessna 402 was overloaded. The star was about to launch a film career after appearing in the 2000 action film Romeo Must Die.

Stable looks a solid selection for Perratt CROSS COUNTRY
GET ALL THE BREAKING SPORTS NEWS ONLINE a express.co.uk/sport
KEEP ME STABLE (4.15, Nap) is fancied to register his fourth first at Musselburgh in the AAB Group And Bibby Financial Services Handicap.
Linda Perratt's, right, trainee is 3lb lower than when he travelled strongly over today's course and distance in July 2025 and finished a length up on Novak.
By The Scout (Melissa Jones)
Off today's mark of 58, Keep Me Stable made a race of it with in-form stablemate and the reopposing Monhammer at the start of August.
Perratt has had eight of her 16 winners for the year in the past two months and has booked Paul Mulrennan, who has a positive strike rate for her in 2026, for the ride.
DIALSTONE (4.30, trb) can make it third time lucky in Lingfield's Celebrate National
Racehorse Week Restricted Novice Stakes. POCCANA POST 47-45
ROCCANA ROSE (7.45, nb) looks most likely to strike for Mickey Bowen in Stratford's Hollow Bottom NH Flat Race that rounds off the card.

Maltese is confirmed for the Arc
MALTESE CROSS will go to France for the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and not Doncaster's Betfred St Leger.
The colt was made the 5-2 favourite for Britain's oldest Classic on September 12 after he shrugged off a 5lb penalty in York's Group Two Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes on Wednesday.
However with the 1m 6f test less than three weeks away, trainer William Haggas, below, feels Maltese Cross would benefit from extra time to recover from his Knavesmire exertions and will instead turn up at Longchamp on October 4.
Coral responded by chopping his odds to 6-1 (from 10-1), with the defending champion Daryz still the market leader at 7-2.
"After discussions with owner George Waud and his team, we have decided to go for the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Maltese Cross," Haggas said last night.
"The extra time will be helpful to him."
The decision led to a shake-up in the St Leger market and Aidan O'Brien's Christmas Day, the Great Voltigeur third, is 2-1, with runner-up and fellow Ballydoyle hope Pierre Bonnard on 7-2 alongside the improving Enceladus, trained by his son
Joseph. Meanwhile Nicky Henderson is praying the rain comes in time so Constitution Hill can turn out for his huge fan club at Windsor on Saturday.
The former star of the National Hunt scene is enjoying a renaissance as a Flat
mpalgher and holds a perfect 2-2 record, drawing bumper crowds to Southwell and Kempton in February and March. After scheduling a short break for the nine-
year-old, Henderson set his sights on the Listed Weatherbys August Stakes and confirmed the plan by adding his name to the list of entries yesterday.
About 30mm of rain could fall at the Berkshire track by race time, with the ground currently good to firm, good in places.
"He is ready to run," said Henderson. "We appreciate that he's very popular and that people will want to go and see him, but we need the ground on the easy side of good."
Maltese Cross will be aimed at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp

HOOF PRINT
BEORMA aims to add another win to a remarkable run of seven consecutive victories at Stratford this evening.
Starting with a handicap chase victory in May off a mark of 81, the seven-year-old has alternated between fences and hurdles to rack up a magnificent seven and improve 33lb in the process.
But with the George and Dragon Handicap Chase in her sights tonight and two further entries for a chase and a hurdle at Newton Abbot on Thursday, the Dan Skelton runner could even take her winning run to nine by the weekend.
"I genuinely don't know whether she has finished improving. She has taken me by surprise to be honest with you," said Skelton.
"We got her on some better ground and she has just taken off. "I thought we might be able to win a race or two, but I never thought we would be on for a sequence. She is remarkable."
MOSES IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN, FRANKLY Warren's full of praise for heavyweight star Itauma
MO-DEL FIGHTER Moses Itauma has a shot at the IBF belt on Saturday
BY GEORGE SESSIONS
QUEENSBERRY promoter Frank Warren believes that boxer Moses Itauma is the best 21-year-old he has worked with.
Itauma will reclaim centre stage in the heavyweight division this week, with talk of a potential 'Battle of Britain' between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua put on the backburner ahead of the
Chatham southpaw's 15th professional fight.
Undefeated Itauma (14-0, 12 KOs) can become the second youngest world heavyweight champion of all-time behind Mike Tyson with the IBF belt on the line against Filip Hrgovic, 34, at the O2 Arena on Saturday.
While Itauma narrowly missed out on claiming the record held by Prince Naseem Hamed of youngest British world champion by two months, Warren (inset) was unequivocal in his belief no one comes close to the jewel in the crown of Queensberry Promotions.
Itauma will face an enormous challenge against Croatian veteran Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KOs), but has been backed by Warren to pass this latest test.
Warren admitted: "Naz was a one-off, unbelievable, Marmite personality for some people.
"You loved him, you hated him, but one thing's for sure, he was exciting to watch and it's the same
thing with Moses.
"You've not seen Moses in a boring fight – not once. He gets in that ring, you can feel the anticipation, the electricity in the air.
"You can feel everybody on the edge of their seats waiting to see what he's going to do. "What I've seen of Moses
up to now and the calibre of the fighters he's beaten, I know who the fighters are and some obviously may not have been the fighters they were a couple of years ago, but having said that, that's the same for all fighters coming through.
"It's how you win, how you go about your business, and the way he's been fighting and the way he goes about his craft and applies his trade is far in front of anybody I can think of at his age."
There is a symmetry for Itauma with his bout against Hrgovic, and British rival Joshua's own first world title victory in 2015.
Joshua also claimed the IBF belt in his third year as a professional and at the same O2 Arena venue, but it was his 16th fight and he was aged 26.
Itauma's ascent to the top of the division has been predicted for many years, but few were on board quite as early as Warren.
Warren said: "That's what we do as promoters and we invest in fighters that we believe in.
"We've been investing in Moses since he was 16.
"It's not something overnight, he's been with us now for coming up to his sixth year since he signed with us and this has all been part of the plan.
"And it's a tough fight. I hope he wins it. I believe he can win it. If he doesn't, it's part of his education.
"I do believe he can win it, but I don't see this as being an easy job by any means."
KERR'S JAKOB CRACKER
WORLD mile record-holder Josh Kerr and his Norwegian arch-rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen are set for a 1500m showdown.
Both received invitations to next month's inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest.
The last time the pair raced over 1500m was September 2024 in Zurich.
Ingebrigtsen recently returned from an 11-month layoff to win the 5,000m at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham.
And he called out the absence of
Kerr' (right) from championships. Kerr said: "I've made some choices this season that have created plenty of noise, but I've always wanted to prove myself in the biggest races, against the best in the world.
"Budapest gives me another opportunity to do that, and I'm coming to compete for the win."
Keely Hodgkinson has pulled out of this week's Diamond League meeting in Zurich, where she was set for an 800m showdown with Audrey Werro, who pipped her to European gold, and compatriot Georgia Hunter Bell.

Carse was due to link
Carse was due up with his Eng land team-mates in London last night ahead of a training session at Lord's today, but the 31-year-old was stood down.
The ECB said: "The Cricket Regulator have confirmed that they will investigate events on Saturday night in Derby. Brydon Carse will no longer be available for selection for the second men's Rothesay Test Match while this investigation is ongoing."

Sonny Baker has been added to the squad as cover. The footage of Carse was taken hours after he helped Durham to a

Former England captain Ben Stokes and seamer Matthew Potts could also be seen in the short video.
HERR DO: Aerial duel in the German Cup
Bath's Spencer faces World Cup heartache
BY ADAM HATHAWAY BATH scrum-half Ben Spencer will miss the start of the season in a huge blow to his World Cup ambitions.
Spencer had shoulder surgery straight after England's Nations Championship summer tour and Bath have ruled him out of the beginning of their campaign.
But in a huge boost to national boss Steve Borthwick, tight-head prop Will Stuart is good to go after rupturing his Achilles last December. Spencer,
RUGBY UNION
34, missed out on one of 25 EPS enhanced contracts this month.
And, with youngsters like Saints' Archie McParland and Saracens' Charlie Bracken coming through, he will struggle to make the World Cup.
Stuart missed the Six Nations and the summer tour leaving England exposed at tight-head but was given an EPS contract.
Bath flanker Sam Underhill should also be fit for the new season.

NORRIS IN WONDERLANDO World champion Lando Norris after winning the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday
BY SCOTT HUNT
McLAREN supremo Andrea Stella says Lando Norris is showing why he is world champion.
The 26-year-old produced a superb drive to overhaul championship leader Kimi Antonelli at the Dutch Grand Prix, making it back-to-back wins as he bids to ignite his title defence.
Norris' victory in Budapest before the summer break was his first of the season, as McLaren have struggled to match Mercedes and Ferrari under F1's new 2026 regulations.
But Norris, who remains 83 points adrift of Antonelli, believes he is performing better than every other driver – and Stella sees his confidence.
"He's driving at the level of a world champion," team principal
Stella said. "It's almost like I see Lando stronger and stronger race by race.
"Lando is capable of maximising the performance in qualifying trim. And then when you have conditions in which the car slides in the race, there's not much grip, then he's the master in these kind of conditions."
Norris started from pole in Zandvoort but, having survived the first lights out, he was undone by Antonelli at the second following a red flag for Max Verstappen's huge crash in front of his ferven home support.
But the McLaren man stayed in touch, allowing his team to pit him later before he reeled the Italian in on fresher tyres.
Stella (inset) was not concerned by the initial setback, believing that Norris has found a level of belief that enables him to play the long game.
"I would say that definitely he is now expressing a higher level of assertiveness," he added.
"He is demonstrating a higher level of self-confidence and, this
is interesting and I quite like it, the self-confidence sometimes is not demonstrated by being the most aggressive.
"Sometimes you are self-confident when you
think like, 'You know what, I'm not going to have a fight now because I may lose in this fight, it's a very long race, see you at the end'."
McLaren have emerged as a genuine race-winning threat again and Norris is starting to edge back into the championship conversation. Mercedes duo Antonelli and George Russell declared McLaren as the new team to beat.
Silver Arrows boss Toto Wolff acknowledges McLaren's progress having made significant upgrades to their car.
Mercedes are yet to bring their latest package of development and Wolff is hopeful his team will have more chips to cash in come the back end of the season, under the sport's cost-cap.
"We haven't got the money to put developments on the car," Wolff said. "We are trying to evenly split that through the season.
"You will see towards the end of the season whether they (McLaren and Ferrari) are going to be able to bring as much to the car as they are now."
HE IRONED IT OUT Superstar McIlroy gave a much-improved display
NOW THAT'S ROR LIKE IT
McIlroy goes close in St Louis after St Jude disaster
POLITICS used to be the realm in which a week was a long time.
For Rory McIlroy, that world has been transferred to golf and the wildly swinging fortunes of his 2026 season.
It was less than five months ago that Europe's Ryder Cup talisman tapped in, threw his head back and roared to the heavens as he joined Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods in being a repeat Masters champion at Augusta.
Last week, he finished 66th at the St Jude Championship and declared: "I am so far away from where I need to be."
Seven days later, despite not winning, the mood music shifted significantly.
McIlroy was pipped to the BMW Championship title in St Louis by Wyndham Clark after his final-round fightback fell short.
'I had my chances on the back nine. I hit some good shots'
He started the final round five shots behind overnight leader Clark but was level after 15 holes.
McIlroy bogeyed the 17th, Clark maintained his composure to birdie the 16th, 17th and 18th holes to wrest back control and finish the tournament on 17 under par.
The two-time US Open champion ended the event three shots clear of Patrick Cantlay, who edged McIlroy for second.
It moves Clark up to third in the Fed-ExCup rankings after he won his third
PGA Tour title of the season. McIlroy had multiple chances to take the lead outright but he was not able to get a putt to drop before ultimately making a bogey-six on hole 17 to end his challenge – but the performance outshone the result.
"A big improvement on last week," McIlroy said. "I don't think I can be too disappointed, I'm probably not playing well enough to be disappointed I didn't win.
"I had my chances on the back nine. I started to hit some good shots. I hit a lot of good putts that didn't go in.
"Wyndham stepped up when he needed to. The birdie on 16 was huge. The way he played the last three holes, he showed a lot of character there.
"I'm still not in a spot where I'm super happy with where my game is or where my swing is,
so I just have to keep working on it.
"It's nice to know even when I'm not super happy with everything I can still piece it together and get it around and still give myself a chance to win tournaments."
Clark was three over for the day heading to the 16th tee, but a 16-foot putt on that hole earned him his first birdie and he followed it by sinking efforts from 13 and 17 feet on the next two greens to get over the line in style.
McIlroy was typically gracious in defeat as they shook hands.
Scheffler's still shaking off illness
WORLD No.1 Scottie Scheffler is still recovering ahead of this week's season-ending Tour Championship after being diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease.
The problem affected the four-time Major winner throughout the BMW Championship
where the 30-year-old finished tied 12th.
But the American admitted: "I got sick Monday night. You get blisters on your hands, throat and feet.
"So to start the week it was pretty painful to grip the club. If I was smarter maybe I would have pulled out but I was playing so good I felt like if I could knock it out quickly and just get through the first couple rounds I would still have a chance."
He added: "I feel like I'm starting to heal up and my throat is still bugging me pretty good, but my hands feel normal now."

Minteh's exit will not Hurz Seagulls
FABIAN HURZELER believes Brighton's 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa shows his side can cope without Yankuba Minteh.
Seagulls winger Minteh (above) has been linked with a summer move to Liverpool, and the 22-year-old sat out Sunday's Premier League opener due to an ankle problem.
Albion went ahead through a Victor Lindelof own goal - and they were four goals up inside 31 minutes after Maxim De Cuyper's close-range finish was followed by a quickfire double from midfielder Jack Hinshelwood.
"We know he has an issue with his ankle so we have to see how the next weeks are going, how this will develop because he's an important player for us," boss Hurzeler said of Gambia star Minteh.
"But we saw we are able to replace him. It's very important that we don't rely on one player.
"Of course, these kind of players are so important, one against one, good speed. But in the end you need to face adversity, you need to find solutions as a team, and that's what my team did. Hopefully Yankuba comes back as quick as possible."
Brighton are also without Minteh's fellow winger Kaoru Mitoma, who is recovering from the hamstring injury which ruled him out of World Cup duty with Japan.
Hurzeler said: "He's doing good, he's back on the pitch, he's doing his rehab, so therefore I hope that it's not that long, but we still have to be a little patient."
On Thursday, Albion host Norway's Tromso in the their UEFA Conference League play-off second leg, with the tie goalless so far.
Watkins has been cast as the Villan... but is it really so simple?
COMMENT BY JOHN CROSS, CHIEF FOOTBALL WRITER
THE transfer window can be a particularly bruising time for players, egos and reputations.
And there is unlikely to be too much sympathy from Aston Villa fans for Ollie Watkins after Unai Emery's post-match comments.
Villa lost 4-0 at Brighton, the club has been left in a bit of a mess (again) by a
transfer window which has seen Youri Tielemans, Ezri Konsa, Lucas Digne and Morgan Rogers depart with World Cup-winning keeper Emiliano Martinez looking likely to follow.
So, the Watkins story – a live transfer target for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal – certainly meant people were talking about the Villa striker
rather than a humiliating defeat. A distraction tactic? It has made Watkins the villain of the piece with Emery hinting heavily that the England striker refused to play at Brighton.
Watkins is being offered a huge contract in the Saudi Pro League.
It would be a fantastic pay-day for a player who has reached the top, having battled his way up from non-League.
Villa have sold so many players this summer that it must have created some uncertainty
He is an understated but determined player who does not seek the spotlight but there have been ups and downs at Villa. It has largely always been up when the 30-year-old is on the pitch because he works hard, scores goals and gives it his all.
He has enjoyed success with the Europa League and helping the club qualify for the Champions League.
The downs have been when he has been left out on numerous occasions – when players are axed from the team
no one stands up for them.
Then, occasionally, a suggestion comes that they don't want to play for the team.
Emery is such a good manager and one of the reasons is because he's a bad loser. He's
so determined to win.
After the Brighton game, you could see that he was fuming, Watkins was caught in the crossfire and is now public enemy No.1.
Villa denied Watkins a move to Arsenal in January 2025 when the Midlands club did need to sell. The Gunners will always say that it was Villa who first sounded them out.
Villa eventually sold striker Jhon Duran to balance the books.
Watkins was priced out of a move but, like all players, he is a commodity who is owned by his club – until they don't want him. Then he's just discarded.
Villa have sold so many players this summer that it must have created some uncertainty. But this transfer carousel is not new.
They have been prolific buyers and sellers. And is Watkins so wrong? There is no way a player should go on strike to force a move when they are paid so well, but is it always that black and white?
You can be sure players everywhere will be talking with their clubs, agents and managers about what their futures hold.
Many players will feel as if they do need to move on. This is not the era of player power.
But we have seen a shift of more clubs openly courting transfer targets – even if they are under contract.
Every club does it and if that turns the odd head – especially when a move would be for life-changing money – then they probably are not in the right frame of mind to play.
But equally, the player will probably recall the last time they were dropped and ask their own questions about loyalty. It must be a two-way street.
Villa fans might not agree right now.
But this saga has probably played out at every club this summer – just not so publicly.
A £100M SHOPPING SPREE? REALLY GOING TO TOON MATIAS IS A LILLE GEM Newcastle are ready to move for Lille striker Matias Fernandez-Pardo Magpies' Lille & City raids
BY LEE RYDER
NEWCASTLE UNITED are gearing up for a £100m splurge in the final week of the transfer window with Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo on their hit-list.
The Magpies are also pushing ahead with a £50m swoop for Manchester City midfielder Nico Gonzalez (above right).
But after a swathe of high-profile departures from St James' Park this summer, they are determined to bring in more new recruits before the window closes next Tuesday.
Sporting director Ross Wilson would love to land exciting Belgium star Fernandez-Pardo, as the Magpies look to stage a sprint finish in the final week of the transfer window.
Wilson (below right hoping to seal three deals, with cover for Lewis Hall at left-back seen as a priority.
The Toon's Saudi backers have made funds available to do the Gonzalez deal, while ext spending power will be made available as they look to give new boss Matthias Jaissle the tools he needs to succeed.
Discussions have taken place about Fernandez-Pardo, but there is a stubbornness on the Lille side, who rate the
21-year-old in the £60m bracket. He has also been the subject of interest from RB Leipzig, with
bid in the region of £34m seemingly sparking Newcastle into action.
Lille's current stance on the 6ft 2in is that they don't want to sell unless an astronomical bid comes in.
Fernandez-Pardo, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, is contracted to Lille until 2029 but has
spoken of wanting a new challenge.
Getting the deal for Gonzalez, 24, over the line would represent a major boost for Jaissle following the departures of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.
Asked if there would be more trading, Jaissle, speaking after the draw with Liverpool, said: "It's a young squad, unbelievable, but we have some needs.
"We know that internally, and we will be keeping that also internally."
Asked how many players he will need to complete the make-up of his squad, he said: "You can count it on one hand, I would say."
Goalkeeper Nick Pope and midfielder Joe Willock, wanted by Besiktas, could leave before deadline day.
ELANGA OFF THE MARK
BY LEE RYDER
ANTHONY ELANGA has admitted his relief at ending his year-long wait for a first Newcastle goal at St James' Park.
The Sweden star slotted coolly past Liverpool stopper Alisson in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Elanga (right) - who was clinical for Sweden at the
World Cup this summer - said: "Relief! Something I've wanted to do for a long time.
"I've been working hard for these moments, especially in the summer and after the World Cup.
"It was a moment I really wanted to take."
JAISSLE UP FOR THE CUP
BY LEE RYDER
MATTHIAS JAISSLE insists he has no need to review Newcastle's Carabao Cup trophy parade as he gears up for a first crack at the competition.
Asked about the Carabao Cup celebration, where more than 300,000
Toon fans lined the streets, Jaissle (right) replied: "They (club staff) have tried to convince me to show me the footage. It was not needed. It's gone.
"The Carabao Cup is a big competition. It is important. We are looking forward to it."
Van Dijk has full faith in Kopping quality
BY PAUL GORST LIVERPOOL captain Virgil van Dijk says he has full trust in their recruitment department to give Andoni Iraola a squad to compete on all fronts.
The Reds have so far added Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz to their permanent ranks this summer while also signing Ronald Araujo on loan from Barcelona, but the window-long search for additional wide players goes on.
Paris St-Germain's Bradley Barcola remains the priority, with the
Champions League holders demanding around £145m for the 23-year-old France international.
And the Reds have also seen two bids for Yankuba Minteh, 22, rejected by Brighton, who want £70m for the Gambia winger.
The departures of Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones and Ibrahima Konate have given the squad a streamlined look, however, and Iraola (inset) admitted last week that the options are "quite thin".
"Everyone wants to see quality arrive regardless," Van Dijk said after Sunday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle. "I fully trust the club and the board to make the right decisions.
"For us, we have to show a reaction from last year.
"We have nothing to prove to the outside world. It is to ourselves. The way we train, the way we approach games, it is down to us to show a reaction.
"Hopefully next week it will be very close to what (Iraola) wants us to do."
Dominik Szoboszlai smashed home an impressive spot-kick at
St James' Park after
Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock either side of Cody Gakpo's equaliser. Hungary
skipper Szoboszlai is now one of three vice-captains for Van Dijk alongside Alisson and Joe Gomez and the Reds leader believes the midfielder will eventually succeed him with the armband at Anfield.
Van Dijk (top) added: "There is experience and there is someone in terms of Dom who has been the captain of his country, and that will only help him to be part of this group.
"It is going to benefit us also in the long run with Szoboszlai signing a new deal. He will be here to take over."
ZIRKZEE SET TO MOVE ON
BY JOHN CROSS JOSHUA ZIRKZEE is sweating on his future with just a week left in the transfer window.
Manchester United striker Zirkzee (inset) was an unused substitute in their 2-0 defeat at Hull and has fallen well down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
Juventus have shown the most interest in the 25-year-old Holland ace who is believed to be ready to move to Turin. But the Italian giants also need to offload big earners from their squad before signing a new striker and there are doubts over who Juve boss Luciano Spalletti wants to bring in.
s to bring in. Zirkzee nearly left United in January. And he is ready to move in the next week to
try to kickstart his career, with a switch to Italy possibly more attractive than a move to a Premier League rival -even though Aston Villa have been linked.
Glas clear on Gibbs-White's knee problem
Nottingham Forest v Leeds United Carabao Cup 2nd round, tonight 8pm
MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE has been ruled out of Nottingham Forest's Carabao Cup clash with Leeds tonight due to injury.
The midfielder (above) played the full game in Forest's Premier League defeat to the same opponents on Saturday.
Forest boss Oliver Glasner confirmed that Gibbs-White, 26, will be absent from tonight's game after picking up a knock, but is hoping he can be fit for their league clash with Liverpool on Saturday.
Glasner said: "It's still Nicolo Savona and Ryan Yates out.
"Morgan Gibbs-White will miss the game. Everybody could see, he got the ball on the top of the toe and he twisted the ankle. The MCL (medial collateral ligament) is a little bit overstretched, so he has quite heavy pain in his knee.
"There is no structural damage, but it just doesn't make sense playing him.
"We are working very hard to get him fit for the Liverpool game, but he can't make tomorrow's game.
"All other players look good, look fresh and tomorrow is the first game in a cup competition.
"Having the next game against Leeds, we could see how consistent they are in the game and the way they are playing. It will be a very good challenge for us."
LAMPARD'S BATTlers
Plymouth v Coventry Carabao Cup 2nd round, tonight 7.45m
FRANK LAMPARD has challenged his Coventry players to bounce back from their opening-night defeat against Arsenal.
The Sky Blues return to action when they travel to face League One's Plymouth in the second round of the Carabao Cup tonight.
And Lampard wants his squad to learn from their one-sided 3-0 loss to the Premier League champions.
"Maybe, it's good for the players, and they understand that," said Lampard, who oversaw Coventry's return to the top flight after 25 years away.
"We have not had a lot of defeats over the last season, so individually and collectively for them to feel that, is a good thing.
"And it is important that I, and we, support them in that feeling, because losing and also feeling like a team is superior to you is not a nice feeling."
GREAL DEAL Cherki and Jack Grealish embrace
SUNSHINE
Cherki lighting up the Premier League with his passion for the game
BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI FOUR months ago, Rayan Cherki dazzled his way through the Arsenal defence and scored what could have been the deciding goal in the Premier League title race.
A big moment in the biggest game for a young man who had catapulted himself among the best players in the Premier League in his first season.
From that point, Cherki had to suffer the disappointment of Manchester City not winning the league while the World
Cup with France did not
go to plan either, with the 23-year-old struggling to get on the pitch and also having difficulty hiding his frustration.
As new boss Enzo Maresca said on Sunday after Cherki came off the bench to turn defeat into victory for the Blues, he is not the sort of personality that reacts well to being told he cannot do what he wants.
Maresca said: "Rayan is quite a nice and clear boy, if he is not happy he wants to show it.
"If he's next to me and he's not happy, you all realise that he is not happy because he is doing anything just to show that he is not happy.
"I know he was not happy but at the end I had to take a decision." For some, that could sound alarm bells.
City have just aired
their own initial concerns about Cherki's character in a four-part Amazon documentary and it is essential for the squad that those who aren't playing support their team-mates and continue to give
What they have to do when they don't play from the start is what Rayan has done, just be ready, go on, do your best
their all. Yet, to go to another highlight of the documentary, Pep Guardiola was clear with his fringe players after their 2-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.
After making 10 changes to his
selection, Guardiola said: "F***** hell, guys, everyone has to feel, 'I'm going to show them and I'm going to win the game. I'm going to show this f***** b***** of a manager that I'm better than the other guys'. At the end, it's a competition between the guys. Where is the competition today? I feel sad guys."
Cherki did exactly that against Bournemouth, and afterwards Maresca said: "What they have to do when they don't play from the start is what Rayan has done today, just be ready, go on and try to do your best."
Maresca spent the last days of the summer with Guardiola in Barcelona, running through the squad he was about to inherit.
While he likes to give fresh eyes to a situation, he could not resist the knowledge that Guardiola had built up of the squad.
Those discussions were less about ability and more about character – which players reacted well when they didn't play, which ones really didn't.
As angry or upset as he may be when he doesn't start, Cherki's bad face is the best possible kind – the one to come on and show the manager why he was wrong.
If he can keep the passion, Maresca will absolutely love having him at City as one of the key transfers in the last few years that the club have nailed.
GVARDIOL: STEP UP OR FALL BACK
BY SIMON BAJKOWSKI JOSKO GVARDIOL has called on his Manchester City teammates to step up while they find their best form under Enzo Maresca.
Gvardiol's stoppage-time winner helped seal a big victory for the Blues on the opening weekend of the Premier League, but they were frustrated for large spells against Bournemouth.
In the last week Rodri and Tijjani Reijnders have departed, as well as a deal being agreed for Savinho to join Spurs and Omar Marmoush close to following him.
City agreed a deal to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille on Sunday, and have also agreed a £34m deal to sign
Allan Elias. The proposed transfer to bring the winger from Palmeiras consists of a £32m fixed fee with add-ons included.
However there is work still to be done in the final days of the transfer window. As City fans anticipate reinforcements, Gvardiol made clear the players cannot waste any time waiting for others to come in and help because every member of the squad needs to be as sharp as they can as soon as they can.
The Champions League and the Carabao Cup both start up again soon and the Blues need to show they can CALL TO ARMS City defender Gvardiol keep the pace at the top of the Premier League in the early weeks.
"We are still not at our best so we need some time, we need to work on our fitness as well, to get into the rhythm, and we still need to use these long weeks to get better, to get in shape, because once we start playing every three days, it is difficult," said Croatia international Gvardiol.
"The sooner the better [to get back to our best]. It's difficult to tell. We need everyone. Everyone needs to be at it - especially now some players have gone.
"It's not going to be easy, but we're going to push, we're going to fight for it."
Alvarez has to convince Arteta
FROM BACK PAGE
deal with their La Liga rivals but may be open to doing business with Arsenal.
Former Manchester City star Alvarez was booed by Atletico fans during their draw with Villarreal last weekend and there may be no way back for him.
Alvarez has previously
insisted he only wants Barcelona and clearly Arsenal boss Arteta (left) would need to be convinced the striker would be fully invested in a move to the Emirates.
Arsenal would also need to be able to balance the books, with Brazil winger Gabriel Martinelli closing in on a £50m move to Saudi Pro club Al Hilal.
That would represent a record sale for the Gunners, with Martinelli's reluctance to go having softened as it is clear he is no longer central to Arteta's plans.
'HE'S PICK OF BUNCH'
BY JOE THOMAS
DAVID MOYES insists Jordan Pickford's impressive display in the victory over Crystal Palace came as no surprise.
England star Pickford (below) returned to Everton less than a fortnight before the Premier League season started after the World Cup. And at O-O, he made a crucial save for the Toffees from Eddie Nketiah against the Eagles.
Boss Moyes said: "It was brilliant
Boss Moyes said: "It was from Jordan. But he's looked as sharp as a tack [in training] and in good condition.
"If they score we might have had to chase the game, and maybe these younger players aren't ready for that."
Cherries outlook is still very Rosy
MARCO ROSE believes there is plenty for his Bournemouth side to build on from Sunday's late defeat at Manchester City.
The Cherries conceded twice in the last six minutes to lose their Premier League opener at the Etihad Stadium 2-1, having led through Marcus Tavernier's goal. It was a frustrating
result for Rose (left) in his
first match in charge but the German was encouraged by the performance.
He said: "We suffered in some moments - you can't
avoid every situation here - but we did it really good.
"We won some balls, we had some transition situations, we scored a really nice goal from beginning to end.
"In the end it's about details. We lost the game with details but I think we can build on this game."

£117m record signing Rogers scores on Chelsea debut as Alonso era gets off to a winning start
FULHAM 2 King 23, Garcia 54 CHELSEA 3 Joao Pedro 1, Rogers 41, Palmer 49
BY JOHN CROSS THE more things change, the more they stay the same.
Chelsea provided a tantalising glimpse of their potential as Xabi Alonso's new-look Blues produced a sensational attacking performance.
Record-buy Morgan Rogers scored on his debut as Chelsea looked the real deal going forward with fellow attackers
Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer also hitting the target.
But two howlers from Chelsea's error-prone keeper Robert Sanchez let Fulham back into the contest and it is incredible how a club can spend so much money and still not address their most obvious weakness.
Chelsea may yet be the closest challengers to Arsenal's crown but until they sort themselves out at the back their forwards will have to carry on working overtime.
The sense of excitement around Alonso (right) and his fresh Chelsea side has completely overshadowed the nerves surrounding Alvaro Arbeloa's reign at Fulham.
The Blues have broken the bank again with another
deals - including British record signing Rogers for £117million - and brought in a big-name manager.
with a £34m move for Gonzalo Garcia who followed Arbeloa from Real Madrid.
But Arbeloa feels like a gamble from six months in charge at Real Madrid to succeeding Marco Silva's five-year reign at Craven Cottage.
The gap between the two
last thing Chelsea needed was a head start. But that is exactly what they were given.
The Blues were ahead after just 31 seconds. Defender Jorge Cuenca's clearance
Jorge Cuchas clearance was headed back by Maxence Lacroix and Palmer provided the clever flick-on.
Joao Pedro went clean through, kept his composure brilliantly, and then lifted the ball over Fulham keeper Bernd Leno and into the empty net. Even the Chelsea supporters could hardly believe it.
Fulham fans were nervous and you could sense the tension in the air – together with a smattering of boos – when Chelsea threatened to expose the home side's defensive frailties.
Arbeloa's men very much look like a work in progress at the back.
Chelsea had a let-off when Levi Colwill only got a booking for cynically scything down
Oscar Bobb but it did serve to whip up the home fans. This wonderful old stadium creates such a great atmosphere.
It was Fulham teenager Josh King who fed off the energy. The 19-year-old's low shot beat Chelsea keeper Sanchez at his near post to bring Fulham level after 23 minutes.
It was a horrible moment for the Blues' keeper. It was an absolute howler.
It is unbelievable that, despite spending so much money, Chelsea have stuck with a keeper who has let them down so often.
Chelsea got themselves back
GLEEMAN
in front before the break when two big-money buys combined.
The visitors' £52m defender Lacroix pushed forward, his low cross found Rogers and the record buy drilled home. What an introduction.
Chelsea gave themselves a two-goal cushion after the break. Sanchez's long clearance was flicked on by Rogers, Joao Pedro played in Palmer, and the forward brilliantly nutmegged Leno at his near post.
It looked as if Chelsea would take charge. But Sanchez struck again and could not hold Timothy Castagne's shot, the ball sprung up and there was Garcia to head home on his debut.
It was game-on. And the noise got even louder when Enzo Fernandez came on to huge boos as the Fulham fans gave the Argentina midfielder pelters as he might just be the most unpopular player in the Premier League.
FULHAM (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Cuenca, Robinson (Muniz 82); Berge (Sessegnon 73), Iwobi; Bobb (Charles 67), King, Palacios (Kevin 73); Garcia.

制度与权力批判深度研判：Daily Express (25.08.2026)
▌ 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 个具体事件在制度结构、权力技术与法理合法性层面最值得学者进一步深思：
-
【社交媒体平台监管失灵与执法权力真空】
[F1_1-2]（版面：头版/要闻区）- 事件简述：在 A66 惨烈车祸后警方逮捕 12 人之际，社交媒体平台（TikTok、YouTube、Snapchat）仍存飙车视频；内政编辑批评平台未及时删除违规内容。
- 制度批判切入点：触发了执法权力与平台治理的制度性分裂——警方作为传统科层制权力机构无法直接介入平台内容审核，而平台作为私营技术霸权缺乏有效的公共责任机制，暴露出数字时代执法权力的碎片化与去中心化困境。
-
【2020 年立法变更与重大暴力犯罪分子提前释放】
[F18_35-36]（版面：第18版/专业栏目）- 事件简述：2019 年判刑的暴力犯罪分子因 2020 年立法变更（要求服刑 67%）被提前释放；33 岁的五个孩子的母亲菲奥娜因虐待被迫逃离家园。
- 制度批判切入点：揭示了法律变迁的路径依赖与制度惯性——2020 年立法变更在客观上导致了刑期计算规则的锁定效应，使得政策目标（如加强对暴力犯罪的惩罚）与执行结果（提前释放）背道而驰，凸显法律工具化与社会正义的结构性矛盾。
▌ 精选核心专题深度思想论证 (In-Depth Dialectical Monograph)
专题一：数字时代的执法权力碎片化：社交媒体平台监管失灵与权力真空的制度困境
1. 制度现实困境深描（Institutional Dilemma）
在 A66 惨烈车祸后，英国警方逮捕了 12 人，但社交媒体平台（TikTok、YouTube、Snapchat）上仍存飙车视频 [F1_1-2]。这一事件暴露了执法权力与平台治理的制度性分裂：传统科层制的警方权力无法直接介入平台内容审核，而平台作为私营技术霸权缺乏有效的公共责任机制。内政编辑批评平台未及时删除违规内容，但平台方并未承担相应的法律责任，形成了权力真空与监管失灵的双重困境。
2. 权力机制与话语技术剖析（Power Mechanisms & Discourse Technology）
权力通过技术专家话语与平台治理逻辑实现了对社会的间接控制。平台方通过算法推荐机制与内容审核规则塑造了用户行为，但其去中心化的治理结构使得公共权力无法有效介入。内政编辑的批评话语（如“立即执行”）试图通过道德谴责塑造公众对平台责任的认知，但缺乏法律强制力的支持，沦为象征性权力的展演 [F1_1-2]。
3. 批判理论框架的历史资源对话（Critical Theory Dialogue）
结合韦伯官僚制铁笼（Weberian Iron Cage of Bureaucracy）与福柯的生物权力（Foucault's Biopower）理论，可以分析这一事件如何体现了现代权力技术的碎片化与去中心化。韦伯的官僚制强调科层制权力的集中化，但数字平台的出现使得权力分散化，形成了新的权力网络。福柯的生物权力理论则揭示了平台通过算法控制与内容审核实现对用户行为的规训，但这种规训缺乏公共责任机制，导致权力真空的出现。
4. 制度批判的当代延伸与政策含义（Contemporary Synthesis）
当代数字治理亟需重新界定执法权力与平台责任的边界。一方面，需要通过立法明确平台的公共责任，如强制删除违规内容的义务；另一方面，需要建立跨部门协作机制，如警方与平台方的数据共享与执法合作。此外，还需引入第三方监督机制，如独立的数字监管机构，以确保平台治理的透明性与问责性。
专题二：法律变迁的路径依赖与制度惯性：2020年立法变更对刑期计算的锁定效应
1. 制度现实困境深描（Institutional Dilemma）
2019年判刑的暴力犯罪分子因2020年立法变更（要求服刑67%）被提前释放；33岁的五个孩子的母亲菲奥娜因虐待被迫逃离家园 [F18_35-36]。这一事件揭示了法律变迁的路径依赖与制度惯性：2020年立法变更在客观上导致了刑期计算规则的锁定效应，使得政策目标（如加强对暴力犯罪的惩罚）与执行结果（提前释放）背道而驰。
2. 权力机制与话语技术剖析（Power Mechanisms & Discourse Technology）
权力通过立法设计与司法解释实现对刑期计算的规制。2020年立法变更通过技术性条款（如“服刑67%”）塑造了刑期计算的标准化流程，但这种技术性话语掩盖了其政治性本质，即通过刑期计算规则的调整实现刑事政策目标的重构。同时，司法系统在执行过程中可能受到制度惯性的影响，导致政策目标与执行结果的偏离。
3. 批判理论框架的历史资源对话（Critical Theory Dialogue）
结合哈特与萨克斯的法律规则理论（Hart & Sachs' Theory of Legal Rules）与诺斯的制度变迁理论（North's Theory of Institutional Change），可以分析这一事件如何体现了法律变迁的路径依赖与制度惯性。哈特与萨克斯强调法律规则的明确性与稳定性，但2020年立法变更通过技术性条款改变了刑期计算的标准，导致法律规则的不确定性。诺斯则指出制度变迁的路径依赖，即历史上的制度选择会影响未来的制度演化，2020年立法变更在客观上锁定了刑期计算的规则，使得政策目标与执行结果背道而驰。
4. 制度批判的当代延伸与政策含义（Contemporary Synthesis）
2020年立法变更在实现刑事政策目标的同时，也面临制度惯性与法律不确定性的挑战。当代制度设计需平衡刑事政策目标与法律稳定性，通过立法明确刑期计算的标准，如限制刑期计算规则的调整频率，并建立司法审查机制，确保刑期计算的合法性与合理性。此外，还需引入政策评估机制，如定期评估立法变更的执行效果，以避免制度惯性对政策目标的偏离。

理性与情感辩证深度研判：Daily Express (2026-08-25)
▌ 本日全报生活世界痛感与情感政治深思雷达 (Lifeworld & Affective Significance Radar)
在系统通盘梳理本期报纸所涉及的所有报道后，以下 2 个具体事件在个体生命体验、情感撕裂与生活世界崩解层面最值得学者进一步深思：
-
【气球放飞对警察家属是"一记耳光"】
[F7_13 🔍]（生活领域：[文化/公共情感]）- 事件简述：在A66车祸中丧生的七人中，有五人的家属计划放飞气球以示悼念，此举被批为对悲痛警察家属的"一记耳光"。
- 情感政治切入点：该事件直接展现了公共领域中个体情感表达（哀悼）与系统理性（警察家属的悲痛被视为公共秩序的干扰）的冲突。公共情感的分配正义问题凸显：何种哀悼方式被容许、何种被污名化？
-
【受害者菲奥娜被迫逃离家园：虐待者仅服刑一半即获释】
[F17_33 🔍][F18_35 🔍][F18_36 🔍]**（生活领域：[家庭/司法]）- 事件简述：在乌斯曼即将出狱的数月里，33岁的五个孩子的母亲菲奥娜持续遭受大量辱骂，迫使警方和社会服务机构为确保她的安全而紧急将其从布拉德福德的家中转移。[F18_35 🔍]指出，乌斯曼及其同伙是在2019年被判刑，避开了2020年立法变更（要求重大暴力和性犯罪者服刑67%刑期）。[F18_36 🔍]进一步披露，另外四名侵害菲奥娜的施暴者也将根据50%服刑规则被提前释放。
- 情感政治切入点：该事件揭示了暴力创伤如何通过主体间性（施暴者-受害者-社会机构）的情感-身体交织，重塑个体的生存体验与世界关系。菲奥娜的"家园"被司法系统的"理性"逻辑（提前释放）彻底摧毁，其情感安全与生命尊严被系统性剥夺。
▌ 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：公共哀悼的政治边界：气球放飞与警察家属的情感伤害
1. 系统理性模型解构（Deconstruction of Systemic Logos）
A66车祸后，英国社会陷入一场关于"适当哀悼方式"的道德争议。系统理性通过媒体话语与公共舆论，将气球放飞定义为"对警察家属的侮辱"，并以"公共秩序"为名，要求哀悼行为必须符合官方叙事框架。这种理性模型的核心假设是： - 哀悼必须被规训化（disciplined）：情感表达需经过官方认可的仪式（如献花、默哀）才具合法性。 - 悲痛具有排他性（exclusive）：警察家属的悲痛被视为"更高等级"的痛苦，其他受害者家属的情感表达被贬低为"不合时宜"。 - 公共领域的情感分配遵循等级制（hierarchy）：警察作为国家暴力合法化的象征，其家属的悲痛被赋予道德优先权。
这种系统理性通过媒体的"道德审判"机制（如《Daily Express》将气球放飞定性为"耳光" [F7_13 🔍]），将复杂的情感体验简化为二元对立：合法vs非法、秩序vs混乱。然而，这种简化忽略了哀悼的多样性（diversity）与主体性（subjectivity）——每个家庭的悲痛都是独一无二的生命叙事，而非可被量化评分的"社会稳定指标"。
2. 生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描（Phenomenological Pathos）
气球放飞作为一种哀悼仪式，其意义并非外在于个体，而是深植于其生命世界（Lebenswelt）的情感结构中。对于五位受害者家属而言，气球象征着： - 解放（liberation）：气球飘向天空，象征着逝者灵魂的自由，以及生者对死亡的接受。 - 连接（connection）：气球在公共空间飘荡，形成一种集体记忆的可见符号，让悲痛不再孤单。 - 反抗（resistance）：通过一种"非官方"的仪式，他们拒绝被系统理性（如警察家属的"优先悲痛权"）所规训。
然而，这种情感表达被系统理性贬斥为"不尊重警察家属"，实质上是对情感正义（affective justice）的否定。警察家属的悲痛被赋予了道德特权（moral privilege），而其他受害者家属的情感则被边缘化。这种等级化的情感分配，暴露了现代社会中公共领域的排他性（exclusionary public sphere）——只有符合主流叙事的情感才被容许存在。
3. Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）
系统理性与生活世界痛感的冲突，本质上是分配正义（distributive justice）与认可正义（recognitive justice）的对抗： - 系统理性（Logos）以"公共秩序"为名，将情感表达工具化为社会控制的手段。气球放飞被定性为"扰乱秩序"，其实质是对情感多样性的压制。 - 生活世界痛感（Pathos）则蕴含着一种隐性理性（latent logos）：每个家庭的哀悼方式都是其生命意义的延伸，拒绝被系统理性所规训。这种隐性理性要求公共领域必须容纳情感的复杂性（complexity of affect），而非简单的二元对立。
阿伦特在《人的条件》中指出，公共领域的核心是言说与行动（speech and action）的自由。然而，当系统理性将某些情感表达定义为"非理性"或"扰乱秩序"时，它实际上是在剥夺个体的行动自由。气球放飞事件表明，现代社会的公共领域正在沦为技术官僚理性的附庸，而非人类情感多样性的庇护所。
4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Affective Prognosis）
对比制度端的冷色调语言（如"耳光" [F7_13 🔍]、"扰乱秩序"）与生活端的热色调语言（如"快乐"、"珍宝"、"解放"），我们可以看到：
- 制度端：通过道德审判（如媒体的"道德谴责"）将情感表达污名化，强化系统理性的合法性。
- 生活端：通过仪式化的情感表达（如气球放飞）重建生命意义，拒绝被系统理性所规训。
这种话语温度差揭示了现代社会的情感异化（affective alienation）：个体的情感体验被系统理性所压缩，而公共领域则沦为情感控制的场域。未来的社会心理韧性（resilience）取决于我们是否能够重建一种包容性的公共情感文化（inclusive affective public culture），让每一种哀悼方式都能找到其合法的表达空间。
专题二：司法系统的"理性"与受害者的"家园"崩解：菲奥娜的流离
1. 系统理性模型解构（Deconstruction of Systemic Logos）
英国司法系统的"理性"逻辑体现在其量刑标准与释放机制中。菲奥娜案件中，施暴者仅服刑一半即获释 [F18_35 🔍]，其背后的系统假设是：
- 效率优先（efficiency first）：通过提前释放减轻监狱负担，实现"成本-效益"的最大化。
- 风险可控（risk control）：假设施暴者经过"矫正"后不会再犯，忽略了创伤的持续性（persistence of trauma）。
- 法律程序的形式正义（procedural justice）：释放决定基于法律条文（如50%服刑规则 [F18_35 🔍]），而非受害者的情感安全需求。
这种系统理性将个体生命体验简化为数据单元（data unit）：菲奥娜的恐惧、五个孩子的安全需求、她的"家园"概念 [F17_33 🔍]，都被排除在司法决策的考量范围之外。系统的"理性"实际上是一种去人性化的逻辑（dehumanizing logic），将活生生的人简化为可被管理的对象。
2. 生活世界真实痛感的现象学深描（Phenomenological Pathos）
菲奥娜的"家园"（home）不仅是一个物理空间，更是其情感安全网络（affective safety net）的核心。家园的崩解体现在：
- 身体的不安全感（bodily insecurity）：持续的辱骂与威胁 [F17_33 🔍]让她无法在家中感到安全，身体成为创伤的载体。
- 身份的丧失（loss of identity）：作为五个孩子的母亲，家园是其母职身份的象征；家园被夺走，意味着母职角色的崩溃。
- 时间的断裂（rupture of temporality）：司法系统的"理性"逻辑（提前释放 [F18_35 🔍]）打破了她对未来的预期，让她陷入一种永恒的现在时（eternal present）——恐惧与不确定性无处不在。
现象学哲学家梅洛-庞蒂（Merleau-Ponty）指出，身体是主体与世界的交汇点。菲奥娜的身体不再是她自己的，而是施暴者、司法系统与社会机构共同"占据"的场域。这种身体的异化（alienation of the body）是现代社会中权力-情感交织的典型案例。
3. Logos 与 Pathos 的辩证摩擦（The Dialectical Friction）
司法系统的"理性"与菲奥娜的痛感之间的冲突，揭示了法律正义（legal justice）与情感正义（affective justice）的不可通约性：
- 系统理性（Logos）以"法律程序"为名，将菲奥娜的情感需求视为"非理性"的干扰。提前释放决定 [F18_35 🔍] 基于抽象的"风险评估"，而非她的具体处境。
- 生活世界痛感（Pathos）则蕴含着一种生命正义（vital justice）：家园、安全与尊严 [F17_33 🔍] 是每个个体的基本需求，而司法系统的"理性"逻辑正在系统性地剥夺这些需求。
这种辩证摩擦表明，现代社会的司法系统正在沦为技术官僚理性的工具，而非人类尊严的守护者。菲奥娜的流离不仅是一个法律案件，更是一种情感-政治实践（affective-political practice）的失败：社会机构未能为她提供一个安全的生活世界，让她能够重建生命意义。
4. 话语温度差与社会心理韧性诊断（Affective Prognosis）
对比制度端的冷色调语言（如"提前释放" [F18_35 🔍]、"风险评估"、"法律程序"）与菲奥娜的热色调语言（如"家园" [F17_33 🔍]、"孩子"、"安全"），我们可以看到：
- 制度端：通过抽象的法律术语（如"50%服刑规则" [F18_35 🔍]）将个体生命体验排除在外，强化系统理性的合法性。
- 生活端：通过具体的情感需求（如"回家"、"孩子的笑声"）重建生命意义，拒绝被系统理性所规训。
这种话语温度差揭示了现代社会的情感贫困（affective poverty）：个体的情感需求被系统理性所忽视，而社会机构则沦为情感剥夺的帮凶。未来的社会心理韧性取决于我们是否能够重建一种以人为本的司法文化（human-centered justice），让每个个体的情感安全都能得到保障。
