更多危险罪犯将被提前释放

面对“无限期”刑期的跟踪者和虐待者有望获释，工党部长告诉《邮报》伯纳姆“不关注风险”

作者：Rebecca Camber 和 Christian Calgie

安迪·伯纳姆昨晚被指责因其对监狱提前释放计划的最新调整而危及公众安全。

在修改政策以确保安德鲁·哈珀警员的杀手继续在狱中服刑的同时，这位首相又在为数百名危险罪犯打开狱门，因此面临新一轮的强烈抵制。

在针对这一争议计划的又一次政策转向中，伯纳姆先生表示，任何被判定非法杀人的人将被排除在计划之外。

这意味着在 2020 年被判定过失杀害该警员的艾伯特·鲍尔斯和杰西·科尔，将不再具备明年提前释放的资格，这让安德鲁·哈珀警员的家人和警方领导层感到宽慰。

但为了实现这一调整，部长们正通过释放那些在“公众保护监禁”（IPP）判决下执行无限期刑期的囚犯来腾出额外的狱舍空间——这类判决是针对被认为具有重大风险的罪犯而执行的。

工党元老称应举行选举

在一名工党元老表示安迪·伯纳姆应在明年夏天之前向国民寻求授权后，安迪·伯纳姆面临着要求举行大选的新压力。

作者：David Wilcock 和 Christian Calgie

前内政大臣艾伦·约翰逊（Alan Johnson）表示，首相必须通过在 2027 年举行投票，来证明其新政策受到欢迎，且与斯塔默时代有所区别。

约翰逊先生——曾在托尼·布莱尔爵士任内担任内阁部长，并在戈登·布朗任内与伯纳姆先生共事——告诉 Times Radio：“我认为他（伯纳姆）不能真的撑完整个斯塔默的任期，直到 2029 年。他必须考虑在此之前向国民寻求授权，并获得他自己的授权。”

他表示这不需要立即发生，并承认工党议员们“会大声疾呼，他们最不想要的就是一场大选”。

但约翰逊先生表示，“恢复对政治的信任”至关重要，并引用了布朗先生在 2007 年接替托尼爵士担任首相后未能举行选举的失败教训。约翰逊先生在保守党党魁凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）致信内阁秘书，要求与公务员进行正式的选前磋商后发表了上述言论。

巴德诺克女士表示，她认为伯纳姆先生会尽早举行选举，因为工党目前的竞选宣言“不允许他通过提高税收来推行其希望实现的议程”。她表示，如果他的赌注失败，她希望高级官员能够全面掌握保守党关于激进改革的计划。

凯莉无法将那件标志性连体裤从脑海中抹去

流动：凯莉在 25 年后发布了一张该著名服装的照片

流行偶像：左图为 2001 年音乐视频中的凯莉，上图为她在最新一期《澳大利亚 Vogue》中的样子，见下方插图

这件深 V 白色连体裤几乎与它永远关联的那首流行经典一样令人难忘。

在重启其职业生涯的单曲发行 25 年后，凯莉·米诺格（Kylie Minogue）分享了一些此前从未公开的 Fee Doran 服装照片，那是她在《Can't Get You Out Of My Head》视频中穿着的服装。

为了庆祝这首歌在 Spotify 上的播放量达到 10 亿次，这位 58 岁的澳大利亚超级巨星发布了最初试装测试的档案照片。

这套服装由一名常驻伦敦的设计师创作，灵感来自格蕾丝·琼斯（Grace Jones）的风格。米诺格女士透露，她将侧面剪开，创造出了这种飘逸的轮廓。这位歌手

还分享了视频中第二套造型的照片——一件带有胸前网格面板的黑色无袖上衣，一个鱼网手臂饰带，以及一条黑色宽腿裤，她在穿这套衣服时驾驶穿过一座未来主义城市。

“啦啦啦！《Can't Get You Out Of My Head》进入了 Spotify 的十亿俱乐部！什么！！！？”她在照片旁写道。

“感谢全世界所有流媒体播放、跟唱、起舞并喜爱这首歌的人！在流媒体时代到来之前，我就在为拍摄视频做服装和妆造测试。快告诉她，她已经突破十亿次播放了。”

这首歌作为她 2001 年专辑《Fever》的主打单曲发行，《Can't Get

You Out Of My Head》随后在 40 多个国家登顶排行榜，成为米诺格女士职业生涯中最大的热门单曲。如今，该曲每天的流媒体播放量估计达 850,000 次。

在接受《Vogue》澳大利亚版（她担任该刊封面模特）采访，与她的妹妹丹妮·米诺格 (Dannii Minogue) 对谈时，她表示自己的音乐生涯是“命中注定”。“我确实在白日梦中幻想过流行音乐

和流行明星。我有我的偶像，但我从未自觉地想过：‘这就是我要做的事。’”

“也许是命中注定，也许是直觉。对我来说，始终是音乐、时尚、态度和表演。我完全被这一切迷住了。”

周末赖床与学校早起导致青少年出现“时差感”

年轻人对找工作、生活成本和网络约会感到焦虑是可以理解的。

但如果要求人们同情他们最新的困扰——“社交时差”（social jet lag），即在熬夜后为了上学而早起，以及周末赖床让他们感到焦虑这一观点，可能要求过高了。

研究人员发现，由学校、工作或自由时间决定的

作者：埃莉诺·哈丁 (Eleanor Harding) 教育编辑

时间表变化产生了一种与时差类似的效应，并可能影响他们的心理健康。

他们表示，青少年将从规律的就寝时间（即使在周末）中获益，而学校可以“重新考虑开始上课的时间”，以适应他们的睡眠习惯。南安普顿大学针对 12 至 18 岁青少年的报告发表在《睡眠医学评论》（Sleep Medicine Reviews）杂志上，该报告分析了 12 项涉及 235,000 多名青少年的研究，并审阅了另外六项研究。

研究发现，经历较高程度社交时差的青少年与更高水平的焦虑之间存在联系。该大学的莎拉·切拉帕 (Sarah Chellappa) 博士表示：“在青春期，身体的内部生物钟通常会后移几个小时。但青少年还面临……学校早起，这会剥夺他们的睡眠。

‘许多人在周末赖床……但工作日与周末睡眠之间的这种不匹配会加剧社交时差。’”

昂贵的景观：您的景观环境可能会被用作向您收取更多费用的借口

汽车处罚：拥有大型停车空间将使房屋被推入更高的税率档位

窗户之痛：花园房可能意味着您会触犯豪宅税“警察”的禁区

您的家中是否有这些特征？那么英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的监察员可能会向您征收豪宅税

作者：大卫·威尔科克 (David Wilcock) 和 克里斯蒂安·卡尔吉 (Christian Calgie)

据昨晚称，拥有景观视野、阳光房和大车库的房屋将成为工党豪宅税“警察”的目标。

负责计算哪些房屋价值足够高而会被此次新房产突袭打击的检查员拥有一份特征清单，他们可以用这些特征来提高房屋的可征税价值。

这些特征包括一系列受欢迎的房屋配置，以及一些更主观的衡量标准，例如房产景观的质量及其建筑风格。

任何拒绝英国税务海关总署（HMRC）检查员访问的人都将构成刑事犯罪，可处以最高 £200 的罚款。保守党表示一个

“工党窥探计划的阴森现实”

根据信息自由法获得的英国税务海关总署（HMRC）税务手册显示，检查员还将标记那些带有日光室、阳台、大型车库或拥有较多停车位的住宅。

这些项目与游泳池、网球场、马厩及马场、附属建筑和外屋，以及房屋是否位于封闭式社区等更明显的奢华标志一同被列入。任何与住宅相连的农田也可能被纳入征税范围。

部长们此前已承认，估价代理人将能够对住宅进行“内部检查”，以核实其价值是否超过 £200 万 的门槛。

保守党主席凯文·霍林雷克（Kevin Hollinrake）表示：“这就是工党秘密的市政税窥探计划所揭露的阴森现实。英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的代理人很快将进入您的家中，记录卧室和浴室的数量、停车位、阳台、日光室，甚至窗外的景观质量。”

“他们会将这些信息输入到他们的‘老大哥’数据库中，以便将越来越多的房屋纳入工党新家庭住宅税的征收范围。即使最终不需要缴税，勤奋工作的家庭和养老金领取者也面临着被监视的风险。”

“这是对隐私的严重侵犯，也是工党武器库中的另一个工具，旨在对人们的抱负征收更多税款。”

这项高价值市政税附加费（通常被称为“豪宅税”）将于 2028 年生效，该政策由时任财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）在去年的预算案中公布。

窥探者：房主若拒绝英国税务海关总署（HMRC）检查将面临罚款

英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的代理人将使用第三方数据和公开信息对房产进行估值，但也将能够进行“内部检查”。

政府的预算监督机构估计，该政策在实施的第一年将影响 165,000 处房产，到 2030 年将增加到 167,000 处。

附加费将分为四个价格档位，价值 £200 万 以上的房产每年起征点为 2,500 英镑，价值超过 £500 万 的房产则增加至 7,500 英镑。

对高价值住宅的重新评估将决定这项新税额，预计这将影响市政税 F、G 和 H 档的所有房产。

保守党此前曾警告称，英格兰豪宅价值的新数据库可能会成为工党的借口，使其在市政税改革的一部分中，对所有房产价值进行全面重新评估。

市政税等级设定于 1992, 年，远在过去三十五年房产价值激增之前。

越来越多的工党议员正对此提出要求，他们认为目前的市政税档位有利于南部富有的房主，而损害了北部贫困社区的利益。

安迪·伯纳姆此前表示，他希望“改革”市政税，称目前的制度“具有高度的累退性”，且基于 20 世纪 90 年代的评估“无法成立”。

他说：“在大曼彻斯特郡的一栋 D 档房屋中缴纳的市政税，可能比伦敦一些最富裕地区的房屋还要多。”

一名政府发言人表示：

“对隐私的严重侵犯”

“英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的房屋估值方法已经非常成熟，且已被用于确保数百万栋房屋的市政税估值公平且准确。”

“这项附加费解决了长期以来的一种不公平现象，即达灵顿的一栋 D 档房屋缴纳的市政税，竟然比梅费尔的一栋 £1000 万 豪宅还要多。”

“该附加费将适用于英格兰不到 1 per cent 的房产。”

支持跨性别权利的工党议员就讽刺同事“退出”道歉

独家报道 作者：Gabriel Millard-Clothier 和 Dan Hodges

一名支持跨性别权利的工党议员在暗示一名同事因反对“觉醒”（woke）政策而应退出党派后，现已道歉。

利兹中心与海丁利（Leeds Central and Headingley）选区的议员亚历克斯·索贝尔（Alex Sobel）因在一段被《每日邮报》看到的视频录像中对活动团体“行动起来！为了跨性别解放”（Act! For Trans Liberation）发表的争议性言论而遭到抨击。

他谴责了工党同事乔纳森·欣德（Jonathan Hinder），并暗示欣德在发表了一篇支持女性权利的演讲后应考虑退出工党，索贝尔将该演讲贴上了“极右”的标签。

索贝尔先生表示：“就目前而言，我还没准备好因为那个问题和那种观点就要求将他开除出工党，他可以自己做决定。”

“他的观点将不会是

道歉：亚历克斯·索贝尔出现在活动人士的视频中

那个能够延续下去的观点。”他补充说，那些相信生物学性别的人“来自其他世界，带着那些文化的观点，并将它们带入了工党”。

然而，因领导层在性别问题上的立场而退出工党的议员罗茜·达菲尔德（Rosie Duffield）昨晚告诉《邮报》：“像亚历克斯·索贝尔这样的议员无法理解，他们对男性权利的痴迷宣传，给他们被选出代表的普通劳动人民带来了多么严重的威胁，危及基本的女性权利，这真是太遗憾了。”

“女性因为相信基本的生物学现实以及保护我们至关重要的单性别空间的权利而被迫失业。我感谢乔纳森·欣德和少数其他勇敢的工党议员，他们继续为女性挺身而出。”

昨晚，索贝尔先生在接受《邮报》采访时被迫道歉，表示他将直接联系欣德先生。

他说：“我意识到我不应该以这种方式提及工党的同事。”

“重要的是，我们应当始终以一种协作且建设性的方式参与辩论。”

爸爸勇敢的儿子们……

A66车祸 8 天后，儿子们在老特拉福德进行感人致敬

作者：Katherine Lawton

一名在与飙车党发生的车祸中丧生的警察的两个儿子，昨天作为吉祥物与曼联球员一同走入场内——这是对他们父亲最喜爱球队的一次情感致敬。

PCs Matthew Blades, 37, 和 Tom Clough, 38, 与一辆在 August 22 凌晨于米德尔斯堡附近A66公路上逆行的大众帕萨特车内的五名男性乘客一同遇难。

在比赛手册的致敬词中，俱乐部写道，身为“自豪红魔”的 PC Blades：“马修是一个顾家的男人，一名致力于帮助他人的警察。”

他的遗孀莎拉昨天与孩子们一起观看了对阵伊普斯维奇城的比赛，孩子们作为吉祥物领队入场，以纪念他们的父亲。

感人瞬间：这对孩子分别与队长布鲁诺·费尔南德斯（Bruno Fernandes）和守门员塞内·拉门斯（Senne Lammens）同行。插图为比赛手册中 PC Blades 及其儿子的照片

“看曼联是最快乐的时光”

在周六于里弗赛德体育场举行的米德尔斯堡与西布罗姆维奇阿尔比恩的英冠对决前，全场起立鼓掌，以纪念布莱兹警员和克劳警员。

支持者们在西顿凯鲁足球俱乐部对阵哈特尔普尔足球俱乐部的比赛中也表达了敬意——布莱兹警员曾担任这两支球队的青少年足球教练。

曼联的比赛手册致敬词中补充道：“对于马特来说，他最快乐的一些时光是和儿子们一起看曼联的比赛。他的妻子莎拉和两个孩子将参加今天的比赛，他的儿子们将作为吉祥物领队带领红魔入场。”他们还刊登了一位布莱兹警员的朋友兼同事的悼词，写道：“今天，我们缅怀一位红魔同僚。一位丈夫，一位父亲，一位儿子，一位兄弟，一位朋友，一名警察。一个为服务他人而献身的人。永远是我们的超级英雄。”曼联最终以 5-2 赢得了比赛。自那次车祸以来，米德尔斯堡和达勒姆郡一直被一波暴力浪潮所笼罩，导致部分居民因过于恐惧而不敢出门。

当时驾驶那辆帕萨特汽车的人员包括 17 岁的西奥·雷、17 岁的科尔·沃西、23 岁的迈克尔·卡希尔、23 岁的雅库布·马图夏克和 18 岁的马凯·萨丁顿，他们在撞击中全部死亡。

五名青年中有四人此前有刑事犯罪记录，据信他们与另一辆汽车有关，该车在车祸发生当天的早晨被目击冲撞房产。

警方正在调查包括 A66 致命车祸在内的一系列暴力事件是否与有组织犯罪有关。

米德尔斯堡的犯罪率在英格兰除伦敦中心区外最高，近日再次遭受打击：一名 7 岁女孩瓦伦蒂娜·福斯特及其 34 岁的姨妈娜塔莉·麦克唐纳在一次房屋火灾中丧生。两名男子因涉嫌谋杀被捕。

尽管警方并未将这场火灾与 A66 车祸联系起来，但他们并未排除其与更广泛的有组织犯罪之间存在关联的可能性。

仅仅 24 小时后，武装警察在米德尔斯堡应对另一起严重事件，据称发生了一起砍刀袭击，导致一名男子受创。

随后，又有七名男子在一次旨在瓦解有组织犯罪的广泛行动中被捕，使逮捕总人数达到 24 人。

克利夫兰警察与犯罪专员马特·斯托里自 2024 年 7 月以来已向政府写了至少七封信，警告称警员“资金严重不足”，且在保护公众方面陷入困境。上个月发给安迪·伯纳姆的最新一封信中提到，招聘人数的缩减引发了“关于在最需要帮助时是否能获得援助的担忧”。

上周车祸发生后，克利夫兰警方被迫从周边地区调集 200 名警员。

31岁英国女性在德国火车站被刺身亡

警方正在调查一名年轻英国女性在德国火车站被刺身亡的案件。

受害者今年31岁，昨日凌晨1点在上巴伐利亚州的罗森海姆（Rosenheim）火车站被发现，身上有刀伤。在被送往医院后不久，她不幸身亡。

警方在现场逮捕了一名27岁的德国男子，怀疑其涉嫌谋杀。警方尚未透露该男子是否认识这名女性。上巴伐利亚南部警局的一位发言人表示，由于袭击原因最初并不明确，他们正在调查潜在的动机。

作者：Noor Qurashi

嫌疑人为一名来自慕尼黑附近富尔斯滕费尔德布鲁克（Fuerstenfeldbruck）区的德国公民，原定于昨晚被带到罗森海姆地方法院。警方表示：“联邦执法人员在车站现场袭击发生后立即将其临时逮捕。”

罗森海姆是上巴伐利亚州第三大城市，人口超过64,000人，目前正在举办一年一度的秋季节（Herbstfest），这是该市对应慕尼黑啤酒节的活动。

罗森海姆市长阿布扎尔·埃尔多安（Abuzar Erdogan）表示：“没有迹象表明我们的城市存在安全威胁，也没有迹象表明此事件与我们的秋季节有关。刑事调查部门正与检察官办公室密切合作，紧急调查这起犯罪行为的情况和动机。”

外交部的一位发言人表示：“我们正在为一名在德国身亡的英国女性的家属提供支持，并与当地当局保持联系。”

“这将危及

（接第一页）

在2005年至2012年期间对公众造成了威胁。现任及前任部长警告称，该解决方案可能会给公众带来更高的风险，因为许多执行“公众保护监禁”（IPP）的囚犯被评估为过于危险而不能释放。

伯纳姆先生的一位高级部长谴责了这些计划，表示：“首相过于关注媒体反应，而非实际风险。”

“在面对公众对安德鲁·哈珀警员杀手反应的压力时，他选择了屈服，而没有关注那些实际的高风险、高危害犯罪者。”

“那些犯下过失杀人罪的人在出狱后是否可能再次犯下过失杀人罪？不会。但我可以向你保证，那些执迷不悟的跟踪者或家庭暴力者出狱后，会再次无情地追猎他们的受害者。”

伯纳姆先生还面临来自活动人士的批评，他们认为该计划的豁免范围还不够广泛，因为任何惯犯（如家庭暴力者和跟踪者）仍将被提前释放，从而使受害者陷入风险。

为了缓解监狱过度拥挤，原计划从下个月起提前释放约5,000名囚犯，这一数字在部长们介入并豁免强奸犯和严重儿童性犯罪者后，从

昨天，伯纳姆先生进一步限制了该计划，禁止所有被判定犯有过失杀人罪、危险驾驶致死罪、猥亵袭击罪以及诱导犯罪团伙成员提前释放。

他表示：“我们现在不仅将继续关押服刑的猥亵袭击罪犯，还将关押那些因过失杀人和危险驾驶致死而被监禁的人。”

“这意味着导致安德鲁·哈珀警员死亡的那些可怕罪犯将无法获得减刑。”

尽管危险罪犯被排除在这一计划之外，但我仍然深感担忧，因为仍有大量虐待者有资格获得提前释放。

“这一决定并未改变这样一个事实：受害者和幸存者仍将被迫采取措施来自我保护，以防范危险的虐待者，因为政府和我们的刑事司法系统无法做到这一点。”

前司法大臣大卫·高克（David Gauke）警告称，释放执行 IPP 刑期的囚犯带有“高得多的风险”，并补充道：“现实情况是，剩下的 囚犯被监禁是有充分理由的。他们（多次）被评估为高风险。我查看了他们的监狱纪律记录，在许多情况下，他们此前未被释放的原因显而易见。”

“仍需谨慎。就公众保护而言，释放 囚犯带来的风险远高于那些被排除在提前释放计划之外的类别。”

保守党司法发言人尼克·蒂莫西（Nick Timothy）表示：“他们是监狱中最危险的一批人。他们会被全部释放吗？还是只有一部分？有多少人？时间表如何？如果 不存在，那些本应被判处终身监禁的人该怎么办？”

他补充道：“这是安迪·伯纳姆在就任总理不到六周内，就提前释放问题提出的第五种立场。

根据工党的计划，执行公众保护监禁刑期的罪犯中，暴力犯罪者可能会被释放。

这类刑期被称为 ，由工党于 2005 年设立，旨在保护公众免受暴力罪犯和性犯罪者的侵害。它们规定了最低刑期，且只有在假释委员会裁定该罪犯不再对公众构成威胁时，才允许其获释。

理查德·劳埃德（RICHARD LLOYD）在 2008 年 5 月因性侵、企图强奸和恐吓证人被判处至少三年监禁时年仅 26 岁。

前司法大臣罗伯特·巴克兰爵士（Sir Robert Buckland）表示：“我亲身体会到英国刑事司法系统面临的危机，但将提前释放计划从偏向一批危险罪犯改为偏向另一批危险罪犯，对保护公众几乎没有任何帮助。”

“Baby P”的母亲特雷西·康内利（TRACEY CONNELLY）于 2009 年被判处至少五年监禁，原因是她导致其 17 个月大的儿子彼得在 2007 年 8 月死亡。

另有1,415名囚犯在被判处IPP刑期后被重新召回监狱。

一个跨党派监督小组将被设立，以审查IPP制度。伯纳姆先生表示，还将通过驱逐外国囚犯来腾出空间。

泰晤士河谷警察局局长杰森·霍格（Jason Hogg）对鲍尔斯和科尔将继续被关押的保证表示欢迎。但他表示，许多警察领导人仍然对提前释放罪犯以及通过取消短期监禁来减少监禁犯罪者的计划感到担忧。

警局局长：安德鲁·哈珀警员的亲人再次遭受“创伤”

独家报道

作者：Rebecca Camber 犯罪与安全编辑

悲剧之死：安德鲁·哈珀警员

一名高级警务负责人昨日警告称，刑事司法系统正处于危机之中。

泰晤士河谷警察局局长杰森·霍格（Jason Hogg）表示，安德鲁·哈珀警员的家人因不得不与杀害他的凶手释放计划作斗争，而再次遭受了“创伤”。

在安德鲁·哈珀警员的家人及其同事进行了数周的游说以阻止凶手获释后，首相宣布杀害该警员的凶手杰西·科尔（Jessie Cole）和艾伯特·鲍尔斯（Albert Bowers）将继续留在狱中，霍格对此表示欢迎。

这位首席警司将监狱提前释放计划的修订（即排除任何被判定非法杀人的人员）描述为安德鲁·哈珀警员持久遗产的一部分。但他也承认，许多其他受害者的家属会对豁免范围未能进一步扩大而感到失望。

霍格先生表示，警察领导层仍然对政府计划提前释放罪犯以及通过取消短期监禁来减少监禁人数的方案感到担忧。

他告诉《每日邮报》：“我对政府重新审视此事并介入其中感到非常高兴，并由衷地表示感谢。”

在赞扬安德鲁·哈珀警员的妻子利西（Lissie）和母亲黛比·阿德拉姆（Debbie Adlam）的抗争行动时，他说道：“很难低估过去四周对她们个人以及安德鲁其他家庭成员产生的影响。”

“我见过一些远亲，他们显然因为不得不经历——用他们的话说，就是不得不为正义地得以伸张而奋斗——而再次遭受创伤。因此，我相信他们也会感到极大的宽慰和感激。”

“由于发生了这些事情，他的遗产现在得到了进一步延伸，因为利西和安德鲁的母亲有勇气以如此庄重且有力的形式发声。”

“他的遗产现在延伸到了许多、许多失去生命的受害者家庭，他们现在将[看到罪犯]在监狱中待更长时间。我很自豪他的遗产得以延续，在这种情况下取得了一些积极的结果。”

曾任国家监狱警察负责人的霍格先生补充道：“我认为一些家庭会对这一公告感到宽慰，但当然也会有人感到失望……将会有一些人被提前释放，而他们确实会对公众继续构成风险。”

“我们仍然处于这种局面，即《量刑法案》是基于

“刑事司法系统陷入危机”

（基于）被判刑的人员，而非他们对公众构成的风险。

“将有人被释放出监禁，例如被判定犯有家庭暴力罪的人，他们可能仍然会对受害者或更广泛的公众构成风险。”

他警告称，警方将不得不将资源从其他警务优先事项中转移，以应对被释放回社区的罪犯。“我认为我们的刑事司法系统陷入了危机。这就是我在本周早些时候会见大法官时使用的词汇。这个问题无法在短时间内解决，需要数年时间才能逐步处理。”

杀手：杰西·科尔

杀手：艾伯特·鲍尔斯

“当——而且这不是‘是否’的问题，因为我国成年释放人员在第一年的重新犯罪率约为 30 per cent —— 一些被提前释放的人员违反其监管条件时，这些人应该被迅速重新关押。”

霍格先生补充道：“整个《量刑法》尚未真正发挥作用，而且我收到报告称，将人员羁押在监狱中变得更加困难。”

昨天，阿德拉姆女士告诉 BBC Breakfast 节目，过去几周的时间令人心碎。

她补充说：“不过，这真的是一种复杂的情绪，因为一方面我们感到欣慰，但我们经历了极大的煎熬，现在仅仅回到了最初的状态。”

昨天，一艘载有 267 passengers and crew 的渡轮在北塞浦路斯海岸附近倾覆并沉没，导致至少 8 人死亡，17 missing。

调查这起悲剧的警方已逮捕了该船船长及另外 7 人。

这艘高速双体船于 11. 58am 从基雷尼亚港（也称为 Girne）出发，前往土耳其的塔苏丘港，预计当地时间 5. 52pm 到达。

但灾难在航行 15 分钟后发生。这艘悬挂土耳其国旗的 Filo Jet 号在距离海岸 2 到 4 英里处被两波巨浪击中，开始进水。

在 133 英尺长的船只倾覆后，影像显示穿着救生衣的乘客和船员正紧紧抓着船壳。在一次大规模行动中，海岸警卫队和救援直升机将幸存者送往医院。

在昨晚船只沉没后，一名当地官员表示，残骸已被定位在 1, 686 英尺的深度。

一些获救人员告诉当地媒体，他们在渡轮倾覆前听到船头传来一声爆炸，但截至昨晚尚不清楚这种声音的来源。

据报道，他们还声称船上没有足够的救生衣来供应 259 名乘客和 8 名船员。仅由土耳其承认的自封的北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国（TRNC）总理乌纳尔·乌斯泰尔（Unal Ustel）表示，已部署“所有资源”。他补充道：“我们正在

“我们深感悲痛”

深感悲痛。有人丧生，有人受伤。”

他表示，此次灾难将受到彻底调查，“哪怕是最轻微的疏忽也将被揭露”，并补充道：“无论对方是谁，只要被发现有错或负有责任，绝不会被宽恕。”

目前尚不清楚船上是否有英国公民。外交部告诉《每日邮报》：“我们正在与当地当局保持联系。”

基雷尼亚与塔苏丘之间的距离约为 40 英里。塞浦路斯气象部门对北海岸的预报称，昨天的海况总体轻微，波浪较小且温和——不过在离岸两英里以外，船只更容易受到影响。

基雷尼亚市长穆拉特·森库尔表示，情况“非常严重”。北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国（TRNC）交通部长埃尔汉·阿里克利告诉当地媒体：“约 100 名乘客已被疏散并送回岸边。”然而，直到昨晚仍不清楚还有多少人失踪。

北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国控制着塞浦路斯北部的三分之一，该岛自 1974 年以来一直处于分裂状态。

土耳其副总统杰夫代特·伊尔马兹表示：“我们对这一消息深感悲痛。北塞浦路斯土耳其共和国和土耳其共和国的海岸警卫队已启动搜救行动，且行动从未中断。此刻，我们的首要任务是营救乘客和船员。”

克莱弗利：首相“在与伦敦开战”

工党现任市长萨迪克·汗爵士正处于第三个任期的一半，尚未确认是否会在 2028 年 5 月再次参选。

詹姆斯爵士昨天告诉 LBC 广播电台：“事实是，安迪·伯纳姆基本上非常、非常反伦敦。你不仅能从他的言论中看出这一点，还能从他的行动中看出。他正从伦敦各议会的预算中削减数亿英镑。”

詹姆斯爵士将以后排议员的身份竞选市长，且在下次大选中不再寻求其布雷恩特里选区的连任。他表示，当他上周早些时候告知保守党党魁凯米·巴德诺克他打算退出影子内阁的计划时，后者表示“非常支持”。

大多数违规医生并非在英国获得资格

作者：汤姆·米德莱恩

在英国，接受海外培训的医生是大多数执业不端案件的责任方。

尽管在英国工作的医生中，海外留学人员仅占五分之二（42%），但在过去 12 个月（12 months）因执业不端而受到制裁的人员中，海外留学人员占比超过一半（55.6%）。

在被医疗从业者审判服务处（Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service）判定有罪的 212 名医生中，共有 118 人是在英国境外接受培训的。

这些案件包括欺诈、能力不足、性行为不端以及未能披露刑事定罪记录。

因虚假癌症治疗被除名

据报道，在受处罚的人员中，印度是最常见的培训地，共有 23 例，其次是埃及，共有 17 例。

在埃及接受培训的莫森·阿里（Mohsen Ali）医生于 4 月被除名，原因是他在莱斯特的家中向两名患者收取数千英镑，提供包括臭氧疗法、维生素 C 和大蒜油在内的虚假癌症治疗。

另一名在埃及接受培训的医护人员巴拉·阿尔马斯里（Baraa Almasri）医生于 3 月被除名，原因是其鼓励且未能举报其室友马里乌斯·古斯塔夫森（Marius Gustavson）。古斯塔夫森被称为“阉割者”，曾在他们位于伦敦的公寓内进行恐怖的非法身体残害。

一份 MPTS 报告指出，阿尔马斯里医生对古斯塔夫森的行为“似乎持支持态度”。古斯塔夫森于 2024 年被判终身监禁。

司机被警方追捕后撞树身亡

一名男子在被警方追捕期间将车撞上大树后死亡。

警方在周六晚上 10.30 收到警报，称有一辆灰色奥迪车在未开灯的情况下行驶。

这名 41 岁的司机在贝德福德郡的邓斯特布尔（Dunstable）未能停在警车前，随后沿 A5183 公路向赫特福德郡边界的马基亚特（Markyate）方向逃逸，警车在后紧追不舍。

车辆在卢顿西南部的卡丁顿（Caddington）村附近偏离道路，撞上了一棵树。没有其他车辆涉入。警员进行了急救，但该司机在晚上 11.30 前不久被宣布死亡。

其近亲已获通知。贝德福德郡警方已向独立警察行为监察局（IOPC）提交了强制性报告，后者随后启动了调查。

微笑吧，狂欢节迎来 60 周年，所有人都在镜头之下

锐利的目光：街头派对上的面部识别技术

昨日，钢鼓声在西伦敦回荡，身着华丽服装的狂欢者们涌向街头参加诺丁山狂欢节（Notting Hill Carnival）。

这一历史悠久的加勒比盛事每年在 8 月银行假期周末举行，今年迎来其 60 周年，预计两天内将有 200 万名参与者出席。

面部识别摄像头——通过扫描参与者的面部轮廓以提醒警方已知或被通缉人员——是庞大安保行动的一部分，共有 7,000 名大都会警察局警员和工作人员在岗。在伦敦市长萨迪克·汗爵士（Sir Sadiq Khan）宣布追加 £466 万 拨款后，人群控制职责从苏格兰场移交给活动组织者，因此还部署了 3,000 多名工作人员——是往年人数的两倍。

终于实现了！多莉有望获得首个英国冠军单曲

作者：Jennifer Ruby 娱乐新闻编辑

从流行巨星、政治人物到奥斯卡奖得主和作家，全世界都在哀悼多莉·帕顿（Dolly Parton）的离世。

在她以 80 岁之龄去世近一周后，这位乡村音乐偶像似乎将在死后实现一件生前未能达成的事业——获得英国冠军单曲。

在与癌症进行了一场悲剧性的斗争后，这位歌手的曲目《9 To 5》在排行榜上迅速攀升，有望在周五占据榜首。

该歌曲在 1980 年发行后，在英国的最高排名为第 47 位。

但根据官方排行榜公司（Official Charts Company）的数据，该曲上周达到了第 12 位，并在周末获得了更强劲的势头以夺得榜首；而帕顿女士于 1974 年首次发行的歌曲《Jolene》则位列第二。

官方排行榜公司表示，根据初步销售额和早期流媒体报告，大众对这位乡村之星歌曲的需求如此之大，以至于《9 To 5》将一直占据顶峰直到周五。

在跨越六个十年并赢得 11 项格莱美奖的职业生涯中，帕顿女士从未在英国排行榜上登顶。歌曲《9 To 5》由该歌手创作并录制，用于配合由帕顿女士、简·方达（Jane Fonda）和莉莉·汤姆林（Lily Tomlin）主演的同名电影。这为她赢得了奥斯卡最佳原创歌曲奖的提名以及包括年度歌曲在内的三项格莱美奖提名。

“真正的优雅与真正的坚毅”

这部关于三名同事策划报复其性别歧视上司的喜剧电影，是帕顿女士的电影处女作，并巩固了她在好莱坞的明星地位。上周，当业界重量级人物向她致敬并称其在各自的职业生涯中给予了启发时，她对音乐界的影响显而易见。

泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）形容她将“真正的优雅与真正的坚毅，全部集于一个耀眼的人身上”，并表示“一个没有多莉的世界感觉是不可能的、不真实的，也是不对的”。米克·贾格尔爵士（Sir Mick Jagger）和保罗·麦卡特尼爵士（Sir Paul McCartney）也是宣布这位歌手对其生活产生影响的音乐明星之一。

巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）和《布里杰顿》作者朱莉娅·奎恩（Julia Quinn）也向帕顿女士致敬。

奥斯卡奖得主方达女士表示，她的去世让她感到“心碎”。

榜首：多莉·帕顿

纪念加利亚诺引发犹太人愤怒

由于决定表彰英国时尚设计师约翰·加利亚诺（John Galliano），明年在纽约举行的 Met Gala 可能会重新安排时间，而距离他发表反犹太主义言论已过去 15 年。

这场时尚筹款活动定于 5 月 3 日举行，当天也是犹太人的大屠杀纪念日（Yom HaShoah）。

据称，宗教领袖对在盛典上计划向 65 岁的加利亚诺致敬感到愤怒。据报道，赞助者已威胁要撤回捐赠。

2011 年，一段他在巴黎咖啡馆发表反犹太主义言论的视频曝光，他在视频中说：“我爱希特勒，他很出色”，随后他的职业生涯崩塌。他花费多年时间弥补过错，道歉并与犹太人士合作，并于 2014 年通过 Maison Margiela 回归时尚界。

盛典主席安娜·温图尔（Anna Wintour）为表彰他辩护，称他的职业生涯不应由单一时刻来定义。

冰岛投票决定不加入欧盟，民众拒绝与布鲁塞尔建立更紧密关系

作者：Joe Rossiter 和 David Wilcock

冰岛已投票反对重启加入欧盟的谈判，这对布鲁塞尔的扩张计划是一个重大打击。

在这次投票中，“反对”阵营获得了 52.8% 的支持率，这个拥有 400,000 人口的国家拒绝了加入这个由 27 个国家组成的集团的机会。

改革英国党（Reform UK）领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）是首批祝贺冰岛人投票“保持独立”的人之一。

冰岛在 2009 年金融危机后首次申请加入欧盟，但在 2013 年一个怀疑欧盟的政府上台后，谈判被搁置。

位于首都雷克雅未克的现任政府将此次全民公投描述为“现在不做就没机会”的时刻，认为这将使国家免受贸易战和北极竞争的影响。

据称，布鲁塞尔一直渴望迎来一个新且“富有的成员”，甚至表示愿意在棘手问题上做出妥协以促进其加入。

争议的关键点集中在主权和冰岛的渔业上，冰岛希望对此保留独家控制权。冰岛的渔业部门强烈反对重启谈判，据信有 90% 的人反对加入。

自由思想者：雷克雅未克的“反对”票投票者

乌克兰战争以及唐纳德·特朗普接管邻国格陵兰岛的野心——这位美国总统曾多次将格陵兰岛与冰岛混淆——也在讨论中被提及。

欧盟扩大事务专员玛尔塔·科斯（Marta Kos）表示：“冰岛在渔业和农业方面的独特特性是众所周知的。这些必须被仔细考虑。我相信，与欧盟成员国一起，我们会找到创造性的解决方案。”“赞成”阵营的活动人士认为，加入布鲁塞尔可以降低利率并为该岛提供更大的安全保障，而“反对”票投票者则渴望维持冰岛的独立。

该国是欧洲经济区成员，也是申根自由移动区的成员，这两者都不会因此次投票而改变。

冰岛总理克里斯特伦·弗罗斯塔多蒂尔（Kristrun Frostadottir）在 8 月告诉选民，投票“反对”将排除所有关于欧盟的猜测。

尽管此次公投没有法律约束力，但由支持欧盟的社会民主党领导的弗罗斯塔多蒂尔女士的联合政府承诺将尊重结果。

这意味着冰岛将至少在 2028, 之前保持在欧盟之外，届时现任总理的任期将届满。弗罗斯塔多蒂尔女士昨天表示：“这是一个伟大的日子。我们等待投票已经很多年了。”

布鲁塞尔曾希望将冰岛的成员身份作为积极扩大的典范，从而使成员国更容易同意接纳像黑山这样较贫穷的国家。

这也将使欧盟能够扩大其在战略性的北极地区的布局，并可能引起极富有的非欧盟成员国挪威的关注。

为什么有人会感到惊讶？冰岛是一个富裕且成功的国家。加入日益衰落的欧盟对其没有任何好处。

一个拥有自豪且古老的议会传统的国家，不会轻易屈服于一个超国家的技术官僚体系。一个拥有世界上管理得最好的鱼类资源的国家，不会向一个已经榨干自身海域的集团投降。

冰岛人以 52.8% 对 47.2% 的投票结果决定不重启与欧盟的入盟谈判。他们在 2009, 银行崩溃（这对冰岛造成了沉重打击）之后提交了首次申请。

但在 2015, 一旦情况明朗，他们就放弃了申请，因为冰岛从金融危机中恢复的速度比欧盟快得多，这在很大程度上是因为它足够聪明，没有救助自己的银行。

如果这样一个微小的国家都能自豪地独立前行，为什么还会有任何人想要逆转脱欧？

作者：丹尼尔·汉南 (Daniel Hannan)

我对结果从未有过怀疑。我很了解冰岛，自从 19 岁起，我就经常访问那片寒冷的黑色苔原。我将“反对派”阵营的领导人们视为好友，并将那个国家视为我的第二个家。

我曾多次站在他们第一个议会所在地——辛格维利尔（Thingvellir）。冰岛人过去常从岛上各地聚集于此，骑着他们强壮的小马穿过黑色的熔岩原和鲜绿色的苔藓，以自由之民的身份会面。

他们在某些方面与我们不同。他们很少有人有姓氏，他们修建道路时会避开精灵丘（据说那是魔法生物的住所），而且他们的语言在 1,000 年间几乎没有变化。但在固执方面，他们与我们很像。

他们讨厌被告知该做什么，尤其是被外国人告知。

我当时预测结果为“反对”，这在当时很不寻常。民意调查显示，支持欧盟的一方虽然领先幅度不大，但一直保持领先；随着选票陆续公布，那些被雷克雅未克早期结果鼓舞的、睁大眼睛的欧盟拥趸们变得兴奋起来。

为什么？因为在内心深处，他们认为欧洲一体化是不可避免的，就像马克思主义者曾经相信社会主义是不可避免的一样。一旦去掉这种不可避免的感觉，其缺陷就会变得极其明显。

除了黑山、马其顿和摩尔多瓦等东南部欧洲的贫困国家外，其他国家对加入欧盟几乎没有热情。甚至土耳其也失去了加入的兴趣。在挪威，民调显示反对加入的比例已上升至 70% 左右。

在这些国家，加入欧盟纯粹被视为成本与收益的权衡。而在英国，在 2016 年全民公投十年后的今天，这依然是一场文化战争。一群并不了解或不在意欧盟内部发生之事的“持续留欧派”，仍然痴迷于推翻我们自己的公投结果。

为什么？因为对他们而言，这与其说是关于欧盟，不如说是关于击败一个想象中的国内敌人——一个被漫画化的种族主义者。

尽管欧盟采取了比英国严苛得多的移民法，但他们十年如一日地坚持重新加入，因为他们是反怀疑论者，而非亲布鲁塞尔派。

诚然，冰岛与欧盟的关系比我们更紧密。作为欧洲经济区（EEA）的成员，意味着除了农业和渔业外，它在所有领域都处于单一市场之中——但重要的是，冰岛在关税同盟之外，并且签署了数项欧盟没有的贸易协定，包括与中国和印度尼西亚等大经济体的协定。

有一种观点认为英国应该向单一市场靠拢。但这必须以一种冷酷且精打细算的方式进行，只有在有明确互利的情况下才签署协议，而不是带着一种忏悔和赎罪的精神去进行谈判。遗憾的是，从这里对冰岛欢迎之举的反应来看，我们离这一点还很遥远。

尽管如此，问题依然存在。如果一个人口规模仅相当于克罗伊登（Croydon）的国家都愿意独自面对机遇与挑战，我们到底在害怕什么？

基督教节庆期间标志牌倒塌致父亲丧生，死者身份公布

作者：凯瑟琳·劳顿 (Katherine Lawton)

在一场基督教音乐节期间，一名父亲兼牧师在强风中被倒塌的标志牌砸中身亡，现已公布其身份。

罗伯特·古安科 (Robert Guanco)，41岁（见下图），周五在西萨塞克斯郡斯泰宁 (Steyning) 举行的“大教会节” (Big Church Festival) 上，因一座木制拱门坍塌而死亡。另有六人受伤，其中四人被送往医院。

古安科先生来自东萨塞克斯郡的伊斯特本 (Eastbourne)，是该镇“耶稣活水教会” (Jesus Living Water Church) 的一名牧师。教会表示：“罗伯特牧师是上帝忠实的仆人，是伊赛 (Isay) 挚爱的丈夫，是艾莉 (Ellie) 尽职且关爱的父亲，也是许多被他触动生命之人的福分。”

弗雷德·艾博特 (Fred Abbott) 来自伦敦南部的莫登 (Morden)，当一阵“强风”吹倒标志牌时，他正与家人在几码远的地方。“我们听到了咔嚓一声巨响，我和朋友就跑了过去。大约有30到50人，包括我和我的朋友，在帮忙搬起这个标志牌，”艾博特先生说。“当时有五个人躺在地上，没有动静。”大教会节方面表示，对此次死亡事件感到“心碎”。

萨塞克斯警方侦查总监理查德·麦克多纳 (Richard McDonagh) 表示：“我意识到这将造成巨大的痛苦，我们正与多家合作伙伴共同努力，以查明具体发生了什么。”

渔船救援后两人失踪

昨日，在海岸警卫队从海中救起三人后，一项针对英吉利海峡内一艘“遇险”渔船上两名人员的大规模救援行动正在进行。

周六傍晚6点，海事与海岸警卫局 (MCA) 接到该遇险船只的电话，随后在普利茅斯 (Plymouth) 附近的埃迪斯通灯塔 (Eddystone Lighthouse) 西南方向展开了“密集搜寻”。

普利茅斯和法尔茅斯 (Falmouth) 的皇家国家救生艇协会 (RNLI) 派遣了救援直升机和救生艇。

法尔茅斯的英国海岸警卫队确认，船上三名据报为法国籍的人员已被救起并送往医院，但表示仍有两人“下落不明”。

超过15艘船只参与了搜寻，并与飞机协同工作。

预计昨晚普利茅斯沿海海况为中等至汹涌。

尼泊尔洪水惨剧

在英雄校长最后一刻的警告下，我们仅以10秒之差幸存

作者：凯瑟琳·劳顿 (Katherine Lawton)

在尼泊尔洪水导致学校被山体滑坡冲走之前，一名英勇的教师救了1,600多名孩子的生命。

尼泊尔北部特里布万-特里舒利 (Tribhuvan Trishuli) 中学的校长拉杰德拉·达瓦迪在周三早上接到一位朋友的电话，告知他上游五英里处的一个村庄已被洪水摧毁。

当时已有900名学生到达学校，另有700人正步行或乘车赶往学校。

毁灭性的山体滑坡和山洪导致794人死亡，2,500人失踪。在被认为下落不明的48名英国国民中，包括两名青少年——一名13岁女孩和一名14岁男孩。

特里布万-特里舒利中学的16岁学生尤尼莎·阿马蒂亚 (Yunisha Amatya) 说，她和朋友们“仅以10秒之差幸存”。

47岁的英语教师达瓦迪先生首先给巴士司机打电话——除了一个以外全部接通——并命令他们原路返回。

当他发现最后一辆巴士时，洪水已经开始进入校园，他告知该车掉头。“它刚好在

“有个女孩惊恐发作”

“桥塌了，”他告诉《泰晤士报》。随后，达瓦迪先生将注意力转向学校里的孩子们，他们已经意识到自己处于危险之中。

“有个女孩惊恐发作，于是我们把她安置在摩托车后座上。其余的孩子我让他们徒步向山上撤离，然后我跟在后面，”这位教师说道。

惊恐万状的孩子们跑上山坡，在的一棵菩提树下避难。在他们向高地奔跑时，达瓦迪先生看到距离河流约 100 码的一栋旅馆建筑被洪水吞没。

他的快速反应救了 1,643 名孩子以及除一人外的所有教职员工。32 岁的社会历史教师桑托斯·帕里亚尔（Santos Pariyar）是该校的新教师，当天他为了教授额外课程提前到校，随后被洪水冲走。

尤尼莎描述了她与其他孩子一起沿着学校后方的一条狭窄路径奔跑的情景，她告诉 BBC：“转眼之间，集市就在我眼前被冲走了。”

她说她的家人花了几个小时试图联系她。她的母亲萨比娜·什雷斯塔（Sabina Shrestha）表示：“我当时非常恐慌。我多次尝试拨打女儿和她父亲的电话，但两人都无法接通。”

到目前为止，尼泊尔已有 3,700 多人获救。昨晚，尼泊尔军队在特里舒利 3A 水电站的一条隧道中插入了一根管道，据了解该处有工人被困。

该国内政部长苏丹·古隆（Sudan Gurung）表示：“我们已经开始通过这个小开口输送空气，现在我们将开始挖掘”

48名英国人失踪，大规模埋葬开始

在尼泊尔-西藏边境发生的山洪灾难后，共有48名英国国民失踪，中国方面昨日将失踪人数增加了15人。

中国当局被指通过审查破坏现场的影像资料，掩盖西藏灾区的真实破坏规模。在关于其称失踪的546人的首次详细更新中，北京方面透露有246名外国国民失踪，其中包括15名英国人。

上周，喜马拉雅山脉的一次冰川崩塌引发山体滑坡，导致边境两侧被汹涌的水流和泥石流袭击，据信已有数千人死亡。

来自加德满都的 Jack Hardy 和 Vivek Chaudhary 报道

尼泊尔当局表示，在其边境一侧有33名英国人失踪，官方死亡人数目前接近800人，失踪人数为2,500人。

官员表示，在准备将尸体进行集体埋葬且尚未确认身份之前，他们仅确认了794名受害者中的20人。尼泊尔政府已下令，所有未确认身份且无人认领的尸体在提取DNA样本后，应被埋入集体坟墓，希望日后能够确认其身份。

一名官员告诉《每日邮报》：“我们必须这样做以防止公共卫生危机。他们将获得体面的葬礼，我们将对尸体进行拍照并提取DNA样本。”

与此同时，人们担心随着流经尼泊尔和西藏的 Bhotekoshi 河水位上涨，尼泊尔可能会再次遭受洪水袭击。

工作并派遣救援队进入内部。”隧道内可能仍有100多名工人幸存，救援工作目前集中在 Trishuli 3A 和 3B 现场。

根据卡尔加里大学的地貌学家 Daniel Shugar 的说法，据称断裂并引发山洪的冰岩块估计面积近50英亩。它从 Langtang Lirung 峰的北面坠落1,300码，掉入靠近西藏边境的 Lhende Khola 河上游峡谷。

尼泊尔当局昨日在 Bhotekoshi 河水位上涨后发出可能再次发生洪水的警告。在救援人员努力清理连接加德满都与周三灾难性洪水最严重地区之一的主要公路时，当地居民通过手机收到了警告。

在 Galchhi 镇，居民们寻找高地，目睹了河流冲刷而过的情景。

安妮的《雷霆日》……以及喂宝宝的夜晚

挑逗性视频：汤姆·克鲁斯与安妮·海瑟薇

2028年夏季

今年有五部电影上映，安妮·海瑟薇很有可能成为好莱坞最勤奋的女性。

考虑到她已经怀孕，人们会原谅她休息一段时间，因为她在2026年已经出演了《圣母玛利亚》、《穿普拉达的女王2》、《奥德赛》、《橡树街的终结》和《真相》。然而，在分娩后，43岁的海瑟薇女士将与64岁的汤姆·克鲁斯合作拍摄《雷霆日2》。这部电影是1990年关于美国赛车手的电影续集，克鲁斯在原片中结识了第二任妻子妮可·基德曼（见右图）。

在一段关于该项目的视频中，海瑟薇女士与克鲁斯以及一辆赛车一同出现，并告诉他：“我要把这个孩子生下来，然后我们要拍这部电影！”

你的国家不需要你……陆军每天拒绝 200 名新招募人员

作者：Katherine Lawton

尽管自 2010 年以来未能达成年度招募目标，但陆军每天仍拒绝 200 多名申请者。

在 2024-25, 年度，近 74,000 名候选人被拒之门外，比前一年增加了 20,000 人。

其中 32,000 多人因医疗原因被拒绝，包括患有银屑病、糖尿病或严重的食物过敏等疾病，另有 360 人因拥有纹身或穿孔而被拒绝。

此外，来自英联邦国家的 22,000 名申请者因一项将外国招募人员限制在每年 1,350 人的规定而被拒绝。

年度招募目标估计约为 11,000 人——这是替换离开武装部队的士兵所需的人数。

陆军的规模处于拿破仑 era, 以来的最低水平，仅有 75,000 名全职训练有素的士兵。而随着英国无人机被用于乌克兰的袭击，俄罗斯对英国的威胁日益加剧，人员短缺问题随之凸显。

在 2023-24 财年，陆军未能达成 10,450 人的目标，缺口近 4,000 人。

去年 6 月发布的政府战略国防审查建议，在资金允许的情况下将人员增加到 76,000 人。保守党国防发言人詹姆斯·卡特里奇（James Cartlidge）表示，英国需要一个“愿意立即承诺为更多招募人员提供资金”的政府。

他指责工党将增加人员数量的计划“搁置一边”，并补充道：“随着俄罗斯每天升级其威胁，工党需要扩大武装部队并加强我们的威慑力。”

尽管陆军在十多年前就放宽了规定，但申请者仍因纹身和穿孔被拒绝。

头部和面部的纹身仍被认为是“不可接受的”，而描绘“性行为、暴力或非法药物”的纹身以及“改变外貌”的穿孔是不被允许的。与此同时，有说法称俄罗斯已将英国的一家无人机工厂列为“合法目标”。一名弗拉基米尔·普京的高级顾问表示，“俄罗斯政府最高层”正在考虑采取“混合攻击”，例如破坏或纵火，而非会引发北约回应的军事打击。

“将计划搁置一边”

在接受《星期日邮报》采访时，俄罗斯前外交部副部长安德烈·费多罗夫（Andrei Fedorov）将英国描述为“头号邪恶”。克里姆林宫的目标之一是一家由英乌合资公司 Ukrspecsystems 拥有的无人机工厂。

国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷（Wes Streeting）表示：“我们近几周从克里姆林宫看到的鲁莽言论和恐吓企图，反映了弗拉基米尔·普京处境的软弱。”

国防部长已被联系以寻求评论。

希利寻求通过 G20 缓解预算担忧

作者：Christian Calgie

约翰·希利（JOHN Healey）昨日抵达美国，准备说服国际盟友，证明他在削减债务方面是认真的。

他将在北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔举行的 G20 峰会上举行一系列会议，这是他担任财政大臣后的首次出访。

在降落之前，财政部表示，他将坚持其方法“基于财政纪律”，以进一步缓解预算发布前的担忧，即安迪·伯纳姆将纵容高税收、高支出的挥霍。

但他的此次行程被本周末的报道所掩盖，报道称他正考虑对北海石油进行另一次税收掠夺。在瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）将超额利润税延长至 2030 年后，该行业已承担 78% 的利润税。

昨日，阿伯丁商会的罗素·博思威克（Russell Borthwick）警告称，另一次税收掠夺将摧毁一个“英国承受不起失去”的行业。

普京集结盟友，外界对俄罗斯袭击北约成员国的担忧日益增加

弗拉基米尔·普京在周末会见了白俄罗斯总统亚历山大·卢卡申科，此时外界对北约遭到袭击的担忧正日益增加。

尽管两人公开发表的评论集中在贸易和技术联系上，但俄罗斯总统及其白俄罗斯心腹很可能讨论了关于乌克兰的“共同问题”。

此次关键会谈发生之际，人们对克里姆林宫可能袭击北约的担忧不断上升，据认为这可能促使美国中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·拉特克利夫上周突然飞往莫斯科。

上个月有报道称，普京正策划一次对波兰的武装入侵，试图以此恐吓西方联盟，使其放弃对

乌克兰的坚定支持，而俄罗斯非法入侵乌克兰已过去约四年。

据土耳其媒体报道，卢卡申科在莫斯科还会见了俄罗斯总理米哈伊尔·米舒斯京，白俄罗斯总统承诺将讨论乌克兰问题。“展望未来，今天我们还将讨论我们在白俄罗斯南部和俄罗斯西部面临的共同问题。这是一个真正的问题，但无论某些人多么希望它存在，我们都会解决它，”他说道。

“接下来的六个月将是决定性的”

卢卡申科与普汀的会面正值波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克发出警告之际。

战斗谈话：卢卡申科与普京在莫斯科会面

他警告称，“来自俄罗斯方面的升级正在进行中”，且“接下来的六个月将是决定性的”。

在与北约秘书长马克·鲁特交谈后，图斯克先生表示：“正如我一直警告的那样，来自俄罗斯方面的升级正在进行中。乌克兰需要更强大的空中支持，这对我们的安全也至关重要。这是整个欧洲的任务。接下来的六个月将是决定性的，波兰和北约必须为各种方案做好准备。”

“我们不能排除俄罗斯针对北约成员国之一采取挑衅行动的可能性。”

就在上周，拉特克利夫先生飞往莫斯科，警告普京不要对任何北约国家发动袭击。消息人士告诉 Axios，拉特克利夫先生提出了在唐纳德·特朗普、普京和弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基之间举行峰会的可能性。

这些警告出现之际，有报告表明普京正考虑进行最后一次尝试，以在乌克兰获得军事优势。

据称，这位 73 岁的俄罗斯领导人正考虑征召 300,000 名新兵，投入到对抗乌克兰士兵的“绞肉机”前线，并增加针对北约的破坏战术。

这个男人曾是征服者威廉的骑士吗？

作者：赞莎·利瑟姆（Xantha Leatham） 执行科学编辑

一名身材粗壮、伤痕累累的男子曾生活在英国历史上最戏剧性的时期之一，在他去世近 1,000 年后，通过数字化面部重建，他被“复活”了。

科学家们分析了埋葬在林肯郡巴顿-昂-亨伯（Barton-upon-Humber）圣彼得教堂的一具诺曼征服时期的骸骨——该地点与征服者威廉的一名骑士有关。

他被命名为“征服之男”（Conquest Man），见右图，他在 11 世纪末去世时年龄在 50-60 岁之间，身高仅 5 英尺（152 厘米）多一点。

他的 DNA 表明其祖先来自欧洲大陆，而他的葬礼则包含了斯堪的纳维亚的传统。“20 年来，我一直对这个个体很感兴趣，”英国遗产委员会（English Heritage）的凯文·布斯说道。“他是谁，经历了什么，他是否参加过黑斯廷斯战役？”

独家报道 记者：卡梅隆·查特斯 (Cameron Charters)

一名英国奥运赛艇运动员昨日在河上勇敢地阻止了一名船长冲撞其他赛艇运动员，此前该船长在河中陷入疯狂状态。

杰克·博蒙特 (Jack Beaumont) 当时正与梅登黑德赛艇俱乐部 (Maidenhead Rowing Club) 的其他成员在泰晤士河上，混乱在清晨发生。

这名巡航艇船主驾驶着一艘18英尺长的船，开始冲向被称为“单人赛艇” (sculls) 的小船。此时，东京奥运会银牌得主、32 岁的博蒙特先生询问他是在做什么。

这艘据称名为“梅费尔女士号” (Mayfair Lady) 的船主随后向博蒙特先生加速冲去。

《每日邮报》获取的视频显示，该船主对博蒙特先生地 unleashing 一连串言语辱骂，称他为“c***”，并叫他“闭上你的 f***** 嘴”。

随后，他采取倒车动作，显然企图冲撞这位运动员的单人赛艇。

博蒙特先生曾在 2021 奥运会男子四人单桨赛中获得银牌，他熟练地划离危险区域，随后将该船长诱导至河流下游，使其远离受惊的赛艇运动员。

据了解，该船员在采取行动前曾围绕赛艇运动员打转，随后

“这本可能导致死亡”

企图冲撞至少两艘单人赛艇。泰晤士河谷警方已逮捕一名来自温莎的 67 岁男子，涉嫌“威胁杀人以及以危及建筑或个人的方式使用水上交通工具”。

一名目击事件的赛艇运动员表示：“我当时在几百码外逆流而上。我看到一名快艇船主从岸边驶出。”

“他冲过来撞了一艘赛艇，船上的那个人差点掉进[水里]。这是一个开动力艇的人在碾压他人，这极其危险。”

该运动员继续说道：“杰克 [博蒙特] 大喊：‘你在做什么？’快艇上的那个人随后开始对杰克破口大骂，并试图用船冲撞杰克。这可能会危及生命，甚至导致死亡。”

据了解，该船主有时住在船上，此前曾与梅登黑德赛艇俱乐部的成员发生争执。

人们听到他在甲板上对着博蒙特先生大喊：“我没做错任何事。你们这些 f*** 以为你们拥有这片水域。”船长轰鸣着发动机，大吼着要把某种东西“冲”进

博蒙特先生的喉咙里。一名消息人士表示：“杰克将快艇诱离了赛艇运动员。你不得不思考，如果没有像杰克这样有能力的人在场，会发生什么。如果那些赛艇运动员才刚开始上第一课，情况可能会糟糕得多。”

博蒙特先生曾代表梅登黑德赛艇俱乐部参赛，他在 2015 与英国队 (Team GB) 在葡萄牙进行训练期间遭遇了一次威胁职业生涯的背部骨折伤势。然而，在格雷姆·托马斯 (Graeme Thomas) 因病缺席后，他作为最后一刻的替补被征召，参加了 2016 里约奥运会的四人单桨赛。该队最终获得第五名。他在东京奥运会后于 2021 从国际赛艇界退役。

博蒙特先生的父亲彼得 (Peter) 也是一名奥运赛艇运动员，在 1988 首尔奥运会的男子八人赛中获得第四名。成立于 1876 的梅登黑德赛艇俱乐部位于一个被称为

汤姆·迪恩 (Tom Dean) 的专属社区的一部分。 2023 年去世的电视主持人迈克尔·帕金森爵士 (Sir Michael Parkinson) 也曾居住于此。

“完全不可接受”

泰晤士河谷警察局的一位发言人昨天表示：“一名来自温莎的 67 岁男子因涉嫌刑事损坏、死亡威胁、《公共秩序法》第 4 条罪行、普通袭击，以及以危及建筑物或个人的方式使用水上交通工具而被捕。在调查继续进行期间，他仍被警方拘留。”

梅登黑德赛艇俱乐部表示：“我们将此次事件视为一起严重且危险的事故。水上所有人的安全是我们的首要任务，此类行为是完全不可接受的。”

干旱……什么干旱？气象局发布降雨预警

《每日邮报》记者

在经历了数月的酷暑和干旱之后，随着大雨倾盆，昨日发布了降雨预警。

英国气象局发布的黄色预警警告称，部分地区的降雨量可达 1. 英寸（4 厘米）。

预报员表示，强降雨和雷暴可能会影响驾驶条件并导致公共交通延误。

包括伍斯特郡的斯图尔河和康沃尔郡的法尔河口在内的七个地区也受到了环境局洪水预警的覆盖。

此前，在周五和周六的暴雨中，阅读音乐节的音乐迷们在雨披和雨伞下避雨。尽管如此，在经历了五次热浪之后，英国有望迎来最热的夏天，伦敦记录到的最高气温为 38. 摄氏度（100. 华氏度）。

“我知道我要求下雨，但我明确要求不要在银行假期下雨”

为什么今年我们都对开心果绿如此痴迷

《每日邮报》记者

到目前为止，2026 年正成为人工智能、干旱……以及（如果你是趋势观察者的话）开心果绿之年。

当被问及哪种颜色最能定义今年的情绪时，英国人选择了黄油黄、鼠尾草绿和巧克力棕等颜色。

但到了关键时刻，他们最痴迷的是开心果绿。

一项针对 2,000 名成年人的民意调查显示，约 62% 的人表示在日常生活中更多地注意到了这种颜色，从饮食、时尚、室内设计到社交媒体帖子均有体现。委托进行此次调查的三星公司（Samsung）的安妮卡·比宗（Annika Bizon）表示：“颜色具有捕捉瞬间的惊人能力。

我们记得所穿衣服的色调，记得我们喜爱的室内装饰……它们共同构成了我们想象一个 era. 的方式。

“开心果绿感觉特别适合 2026 年，因为我们在文化的许多不同领域都看到了这种清新、富有表现力的色调。”

释放残暴歹徒绝非答案

安德鲁·哈珀警员的凶手被提前释放出狱，这一想法会让所有正经的人感到震惊。

但安迪·伯纳姆显然还没有意识到，释放那些根据“公众保护监禁”（IPP）命令被关押的囚犯，同样是一个令人厌恶的前景。

对于那些施暴者被根据 IPP 立法关押的家庭暴力受害者来说，这一举措尤其令人担忧。得知虐待者可能很快获得自由并再次施加身体和心理痛苦，将给他们带来几乎无法想象的痛苦。

首相仅概述了他的计划细节，且非常简略。但这看起来已经是一个典型的例子：普通民众在为政府的失败承担后果。

将凶残的罪犯重新放回街头，是解决监狱系统空间不足的一种不可接受的方案。显而易见的解决方案应该是建立临时安置点，直到正式的监狱建设规划能够启动。

考虑到在新冠危机期间，为了应对医疗服务的额外压力，“南丁格尔”医院被迅速建立起来，那么现在工党在应对监狱紧急情况时，难道就没有理由采取类似的方法吗？

同样显而易见的是，首相一直在边走边摸索。此前他坚称无法阻止哈珀警员凶手的释放，但当公众的愤怒程度变得明显后，他改变了立场。

难怪他的一位部长现在说他“屈服于公众压力”。他对局势的处理方式确实表明，比起有目的性地治理国家，他更在意是否被人们喜爱。

而这正是最大的讽刺所在。虽然讨好大众的方法有很多，但首相可能会发现，释放那些有针对女性暴力史的危险罪犯，绝不是其中之一。

完全无法辩护

到目前为止，我们所看到的一切都表明，伯纳姆政府并不具备治理国家所需的政治判断力。这一点在部长们对待任何政府最基本职责——国防——的方式上表现得最为明显。

来自俄罗斯的威胁日益增长。弗拉基米尔·普京对西方的行为变得越来越具有侵略性。英国国防公司已收到警告，称他们可能会成为目标。

然而，政府在确保英国免受海外威胁方面没有任何紧迫感。到 2030 年截止日期前将国防开支提高到 GDP 3 per cent 的前景比以往任何时候都要暗淡。新数据显示，去年陆军首脑每天拒绝 200 多名潜在的新兵。

首相可能认为将公共资金挥霍在噱头和虚荣项目上是个聪明主意。但当普京开始向我们方向展示肌肉时，£2 的公交车票对任何人都没有什么用处。

做得好，冰岛

祝贺冰岛人民投票反对恢复加入欧盟的谈判。不出所料，据称布鲁塞尔方面一直渴望欢迎一个“富有”的新成员加入该集团。

冰岛人如果加入，不仅实际上会放弃独立，而且——就像之前的英国人一样——最终在金钱上的贡献将远超他们希望获得的回报。

现在很明显，安迪·伯纳姆缺乏做出国家所需之艰难决定所需要的力量与意志

迷雾正在散去，我们终于能看清安迪·伯纳姆在沼泽中踉跄前行的真实面目。

如果你曾希望他是一个行动派，一个有主见且擅长做出艰难决定的人，那么你将会感到失望。

我们的新任首相——除了梅克菲尔德的选民外，没人选他——结果证明不过是只会空谈而无实干（all talk and no trousers），正如北方人所说的那样，而安迪竟然荒谬地被冠以“国王”之称。

昨天，他参加了 BBC1 的《早餐节目》（Breakfast），透露了他关于囚犯提前释放的最新想法。看他们对他如此大肆吹捧，你还以为他是俾斯麦。他告诉我们，他“整个夏天都在不遗余力地研究每一个细节”。真是英雄之举。

事实上，他只不过是在弥补工党自己制造的问题，而一个更精明的政治家早在几周前就应该发现了。政府不再打算让被判定过失杀人的囚犯提前出狱。这一类别包括了两名杀害安德鲁·哈珀警员的凶手。很好。

闪避

但是，尽管伯纳姆先生没有提到这一点，一些目前根据一项名为“公众保护监禁”（IPP）的计划在狱中服刑的跟踪者和家庭暴力者，将会被释放并行走在我们的街道上。

自从他从基尔·斯塔默爵士手中夺取权力之印以来的六周里，他究竟取得了什么成就？微乎其微。他一直在闪避，并且继续闪避这个国家面临的三大主要问题：国防、飙升的福利成本以及失控的移民问题。

诚然，出现了一些几乎没有人会反对的、令人心情愉悦的公告。首相承诺要结束“露宿街头”现象，最好在圣诞节前实现。（他能做到吗？）公交车票价将略微降低。他为我们的能源账单削减了几英镑。

关于权力下放也有很多讨论——考虑到到目前为止权力下放远非巨大的成功，这或许更具争议——但他表现得足够含糊，以至于没有激怒太多人。

我们这位讨人喜欢的现任首相为我们带来了这些像“母亲与苹果派”一样（指毫无争议且讨好大众）的政策，他在照片中几乎总是面带微笑。如果说斯塔默像一个局促不安的殡仪馆承办人，那么伯纳姆则让我想起一名充满热情的10岁以下足球队教练。

国防是最明显的缺失。一周前，伯纳姆在基辅，对泽连斯基总统大加赞赏，并承诺分享机密蓝图，以便乌克兰能够制造自己的“风暴阴影”导弹。

他确实成功地激怒了克里姆林宫，后者声称他将“火上浇油”，并威胁要打击英国的军事目标。我想，谢天谢地，政府即将增加我们不足的国防预算。

但随后有报道称，尽管伯纳姆在基辅发表了所有勇敢的言论，但新任财政大臣在10月28日的预算案中不会宣布将军事支出提高到GDP的3%。

约翰·希利在6月份辞去国防大臣一职，是因为斯塔默不愿承诺3%的比例。现在他安稳地坐在财政部，而安迪·伯纳姆在他背后紧逼，他却唱起了完全不同的调子。

作者：斯蒂芬·格洛弗

通往3%的路径将在明年的支出审查中制定。换句话说，就在首相玩着挑衅普京这种危险游戏的同时，伯纳姆和希利正将这个问题踢到相邻的球场上。

在波兰和德国等北约盟友迅速增加国防开支之际，这简直是令人不齿的失职。如果首相在国家安全问题上无法下定决心，我们还有什么希望？

福利改革的情况也类似，根据泄露的消息，这很可能最早要推迟到明年。伯纳姆再次无法决定该怎么做。他知道许多工党后座议员不希望削减不断攀升的福利预算。

唐宁街10号很乐意等待两项关于福利制度的审查，一项由社会保障大臣斯蒂芬·蒂姆斯爵士负责，另一项由前工党内阁大臣艾伦·米尔本负责。斯蒂芬爵士是那种在听到“着火了！”这个词时，会先填三份副本表格的人。

首相几乎没有采取任何行动或发表任何言论的第三个问题是大规模移民。一些工党议员喜欢给人一种这个问题已经解决的印象。事实并非如此。

上周公布的内政部数据显示，在截至2026, 6月的一年里，获得永久居留权（ILR）的移民人数创下纪录，因为在上届保守党政府期间抵达的外国国民寻求在此永久定居。

移民

仅在截至2026年6月的三个月内，就有140,122名移民获得了永久居留权（ILR）或公民身份。内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈茂德希望将大多数移民获得永久居留权的等待时间从五年延长至十年，而对于低薪外国劳工或难民，等待时间则更长。

这似乎是典型的亡羊补牢。马哈茂德女士的改革方案可能根本无法实施，因为许多工党议员对此持反对意见，其中以安杰拉·雷纳为首，她将这些方案描述为“不符合英国精神”。

我们要猜测一下我们那位犹豫不决的首相会怎么做吗？

我承认，在基尔·斯塔默爵士之后，伯纳姆先生在某些方面确实给人带来了新鲜感。但首相最终被评判的标准，并不是他为房间通风的能力。

伯纳姆逃避困难的决定，却追求那些引人注目的决定。因此，他最近提出了禁止与以色列占领的约旦河西岸定居点进行贸易的想法。

由于定居者是地球上最不受欢迎的人群之一（甚至本雅明·内塔尼亚胡也日益对他们持批评态度），这项政策很可能会受到几乎所有人的欢迎。但它实际上几乎没有任何效果。这纯粹是一种表演。

前几天，伯纳姆在给议员的一封信中解释说，当辅助死亡法案重新提交议会时，他将弃权。这很合理，他不希望将一个道德争论政治化。

战争贩子

但他给出的理由非常有启发性。他写道，在辅助死亡的问题上，“不存在单一的正确立场”。这种论调抛弃了道德原则，并暗示对错会随环境而改变。

我不怀疑，当一个决定简单且能赢得支持者的好感时，伯纳姆会果断执行。他会提高富人的税收，因为富人通常不被大众喜爱；出于同样的原因，他可能还会敲诈银行和石油公司。经济将因此受损。

1994年托尼·布莱尔成为工党领袖后的一段时间里，保守党人称他为“班比”（Bambi）。他们没有意识到，他内心其实是一个战争贩子，是一个会撕碎英国宪法的破坏者。

在安迪·伯纳姆身上，我们找到了真正的“班比”，甚至连那双小鹿般的眼睛都一模一样。这位被强加给我们的非选举产生首相，这位伪造的“北方之王”以及毫无骨气的政客，缺乏做出这个国家迫切需要的艰难决定的力量和意志。

萨拉·弗格森在欧洲和海湾国家其他人的家中低调生活七个月后返回英国，其时机绝非偶然。

我的可靠消息源告诉我，这位名誉扫地的前约克公爵夫人很清楚，尽管哈里王子和梅根·马克尔采取了极其有效的保密行动，以至于公开宣布时几乎让所有人大吃一惊，但他们一直在策划自己返回英国的计划。

换句话说，弗格森知道发生了什么，并据此制定了自己的计划。

她是如何得知消息的？值得注意的是，四周前，小女儿尤金妮公主产下了她的第三个孩子，阿德莱德·伊丽莎白·安妮娜·布鲁克斯班克。看来可以肯定，在弗格森与前夫安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎于今年2月被逐出温莎皇家小屋（Royal Lodge）后一直避而不见的情况下，她在孩子出生后访问了住在葡萄牙的尤金妮及其丈夫杰克。

事实上，知情人士透露，她曾在某个阶段恳求对方允许她自由出入那栋僻静的葡萄牙住宅，以便她能随心所欲地往返。对于布鲁克斯班克夫妇来说，这个要求太过分了，因为他们不希望自己的避风港被狗仔队围攻。

但弗格森作为客人在女儿那里受到了欢迎——萨塞克斯夫妇同样如此。也许梅根和哈里向尤金妮透露了他们的计划，告诉她他们打算将两个孩子阿奇和莉莉贝特送到科茨沃尔德的私立学校。

我觉得更有可能的是，梅根直接向弗格森透露了该计划。她这样做有两个充分的理由。首先，这两个女人都与王室处于公开战争状态

费吉在公然藐视规则的情况下竟能全身而退

机器多年来。地球上极少有人拥有这种经历的亲身感受，而两人都将从分享彼此的心得中获益。

不仅如此，梅根长期以来一直将费吉视为一个典范，证明一个人是如何可能在王室中处于半进半出的状态，利用头衔和传统来赚钱，尤其是在美国。

在梅根担任公爵夫人期间，费吉一直能够公然藐视规则而未受惩罚——她在 QVC 频道推销她的搅拌机，出现在 Ocean Spray 蔓越莓汁的广告中，并推广 Weight Watchers（重量观察者），与此同时，她仍住在王室房产中，并厚颜无耻地出现在温布尔登或雅士谷赛马会的皇家包厢里。即便梅根没有透露她所有的计划，她也一定给出过足够的暗示，足以让这位年长女性相信现在是走出掩护的最佳时机。

一个普遍规律是，无论公众对王室八卦的胃口多么贪婪，头条新闻在同一时间几乎永远容不下超过一个故事。

这就是为什么宫廷日程安排者如此勤勉地工作，以确保王室的活动和公告不会发生冲突——以及为什么当哈里和梅根通过在中举行一次非官方王室巡访而抢走风头时，宫廷随员们会产生如此强烈的愤恨之情。

非洲或澳大利亚。弗吉知道如何让这一切对自己有利。

本周以及九月的大部分时间里，公众的注意力可能都将集中在萨塞克斯夫妇身上：他们在哪里寻找房子；他们青睐哪些学校；以及最令人好奇的是，梅根在匆忙返回加利福尼亚之前，将在英国陪伴家人多久？

这使得媒体在讨论弗吉将住在哪里以及她如何支付房租方面的时间非常有限。

许多人认为她正在花前男友兼“金主”——于7月去世、享年88岁的F1大亨帕迪·麦克纳利（Paddy McNally）留给她的钱，或者至少是在等待遗嘱认证通过后，预支遗产贷款。

但我被告知情况并非如此。无论她的收入来源为何，都来自海湾国家的一位未知资助者，极有可能是中东某个皇室的高级成员。麦克纳利在她最初无家可归时确实帮过她，允许她住在其位于瑞士韦尔比耶（Verbier）的住所，那里曾被称为“可卡因城堡”。

但她的受欢迎程度很快就消失了。

弗吉不是一个在接受一份礼物后不要求更多的人，当她与亿万富翁金融家及恋童癖杰弗里·爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）之间贪婪的电子邮件往来被公开时，全世界都见识到了这一点。

麦克纳利对她感到厌烦，显然在他那价值数百万英镑的遗嘱中没有给她留下任何东西。这一定是一个沉重的打击，也解释了为什么她没有费心参加本月初在威尔特郡举行的他的葬礼，而是派女儿贝特丽丝代替参加。

然而，可靠的传闻表明，她正瞄准英格兰南部郡区（Home Counties）一个封闭社区内的一栋六居室房屋，月租金为 $1。而且她似乎准备立即入住，因为那里无疑配备了齐全的家具。

她在伦敦的一个存储单元里还存放着几箱个人物品，不过有报道称安德鲁在其桑德灵厄姆住所——狭窄且破旧的马什农场（Marsh Farm）存放了更多家具，这一说法真实的可能性较低。

事实上，弗吉与前丈夫的关系正处于相互指责和不信任的低谷。他知道她一直在美国向电视制作公司和出版商推销自己，而她已经拒绝了一项100万加元的独家采访报价，希望能获得更高的报酬。她已经没什么可失去的了——她的名声早已毁于一旦。

如果能写一本关于她与爱泼斯坦友谊的揭秘回忆录，可能会获得巨额预付款，如果

他汀类药物“可将痴呆风险降低 15%”

《每日邮报》记者

一项研究发现，他汀类药物可能会降低糖尿病患者患痴呆症的风险。

研究人员表示，服用这种降低胆固醇的药片可将 2 型糖尿病患者患该病的概率降低高达 15 per cent。

他们评估了在诊断出 2 型糖尿病后不久开始用药

《每日邮报》与阿尔茨海默病协会共同对抗痴呆症

是否与较低的痴呆风险相关。

他们发现，在 10 年时间里，与不接受他汀类药物治疗相比，男性和女性早期启动他汀类药物治疗与痴呆症相对风险降低 15% 相关。晚期启动则与风险降低 10% 相关。之前的研究表明，理论上通过消除 14 个风险因素，可以预防近一半的痴呆病例。

研究作者、哥本哈根大学医院的图马斯·特恩哈马尔（Tummas Ternhamar）博士表示：“从中年开始检测并治疗高水平的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇就是这样一个被强调的风险因素。”

他指出，这在 2 型糖尿病患者中可能尤为重要，因为低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（或 LDL-C）——通常被称为“坏”胆固醇——在糖尿病患者中经常出现，而糖尿病本身就是认知能力下降和痴呆症的一个风险因素。

特恩哈马尔博士在德国慕尼黑举行的欧洲心脏病学会大会上介绍了这些发现，他表示女性和男性的结果相似。

专家表示，由于这是一项观察性研究，它不能直接证明他汀类药物可以预防痴呆症。《每日邮报》已加入阿尔茨海默病协会，以增加早期诊断并加强对该疾病的研究。

危险：消防员在这个夏天与巨大的山火作斗争

为了防止明年发生更严重的山火，伯纳姆现在必须挺身而出，对抗那些重野化狂热分子

作者：伊恩·博瑟姆 (Ian Botham)

对于安迪·伯纳姆来说，现在还处于任期初期，我祝愿他在这份艰巨的工作中取得成功。但到目前为止，这位自称“北方之王”的人正变成一个“空壳先生”。面对艰难的选择，他反复躲在空洞的姿态背后。

这不仅仅是指他在曼彻斯特办公室里安装的那扇假 10 号大门。在防止山火等实际问题上，他也是如此。

两周前，我告诉《每日邮报》，首相需要掌控山火预防工作，否则将会有人丧命。就在同一天，现实几乎印证了我的担忧，西米德兰兹郡的斯图尔布里奇有 19 栋房屋被毁。

然而，安迪·伯纳姆并没有解决山火数量增加背后的真正问题——即植被过剩，而是按下了恐慌按钮。字面意义上的按下。他使用了旨在警告核战争的紧急手机警报系统，令全国民众陷入恐慌。

目前，谢天谢地，雨水止住了火势。但一个有实干精神的首相现在应该已经在思考，明年预测的超级厄尔尼诺（一种在太平洋上发展的自然气候现象）可能会导致一个更加炎热的夏天。

他还应该询问他的环境大臣安吉拉·伊格尔（Angela Eagle）关于那些助长火势的过剩植被问题——尤其是我们荒原上堆积的大量植被。

我对这件事深感忧虑，因为我的北约克郡家周围环绕着荒原，我看到由怀特霍尔（Whitehall）主导的政策在违背我邻居意愿的情况下被强加给他们。

多年来，环境、食品和农村事务部（Defra）一直通过法规减少高地的牛羊数量，并禁止冬季焚烧荒原。

然而，官员们从未计算过这留下了多少额外的植被。

幸运的是，荒原协会（Moorland Association）计算出了结果：放牧减少意味着我们拥有多出 25% 的高度易燃草类，而停止冬季焚烧导致枯萎的石楠增加了 74%。炎热的夏天将所有这些变成了引火之物。

结果如何？过去十年中，英国被山火烧毁的土地面积增加了六倍——从 2006 年至 2015 年间的 24,805 公顷增加到 2016 年至 2025 年间的 151,954 公顷。

随着气候变得更加炎热，我们必须管理植被。然而在“Defra星球”内部，官员们并不明白这一点。他们声称“重野化”（rewilding）能减少山火。显然，火焰还没有意识到这一点。

但消防员意识到了。去年，国家消防局局长委员会警告称，Defra的限制威胁到了“消防员和公众”的生命。

事实是，Defra在这个问题上处于孤立状态——它成了没人理会的“孤家寡人”。所有了解该问题的人都支持冬季焚烧。G7、欧盟和白宫都支持，苏格兰政府也是如此。

而且科学研究不断表明，冬季焚烧并不会使泥炭干涸——而这正是Defra几乎全面禁止焚烧的核心原因之一。约克大学的研究人员发现，矛盾的是，焚烧反而使土壤更湿润，因为焚烧减少了植被数量，因此植物从地下抽走的水分减少了。换句话说，正是重野化导致了泥炭干涸。

本月，埃克塞特大学的科学家报告称，在通过冬季焚烧将植被保持在较低高度的区域，泥炭在山火中的生存能力要强得多。

Defra实施焚烧禁令的关键证据来自英国自然英格兰局（Natural England）在 2025 年发表的一篇经过同行评审的论文。然而，通过信息自由请求（Freedom of Information requests）得知，该论文的评审员之一承认他无法“假装已经从头到尾读完了它”。另一位则说他们的“大脑无法跟上”。我觉得这令人震惊。但Defra却宣布其证据是“严谨的”。2025.

甚至环境、食品与农村事务部（Defra）自己的官员在2007年的一篇论文中就写道，停止冬季焚烧将导致山火风险“大幅增加”。而这正是后来发生的情况。

Defra现在正被现实狠狠地打脸。然而，它会因为承认自己长期以来一直出错而感到极其尴尬。

因此，Defra继续将“再野化”强加给英格兰北部，就好像我们是它的一个殖民前哨一样。部长们只会重复冬季焚烧会“破坏”泥炭的说法，尽管研究明确表示并非如此，因为热量根本无法渗透到泥炭层。

此外，如果白厅（Whitehall）想要保护泥炭，为什么它的冬季焚烧禁令不涵盖英格兰南部和东部的泥炭？

我认为这是因为体制内的“官僚集团”（the Establishment Blob）憎恨在北方荒原上进行的猎禽活动。而最主要的反对者是英国皇家鸟类保护协会（RSPB）。他们热爱再野化，并不遗余力地试图削弱狩猎活动。

如果你心存怀疑，你可能会认为这是因为RSPB嫉妒北方荒原上繁衍的大量鸟类，因为在那里的猎场管理员保护它们免受狐狸侵害。在过去一年中，北奔宁山脉（North Pennines）的黑琴鸡数量增加了61%，而蒂斯代尔（Teesdale）管理过的荒原上的杓曲离数量是未管理区域的两倍。

RSPB无法跟上这一进度，因此在2012年停止发布年度鸟类数量表。但我看过原始数据，数据显示该慈善机构记录的黑琴鸡数量在近年来下降了38%，环颈鸫和金斑垂鹬的数量也大幅下降。

还有一个令人悲哀的讽刺是，该慈善机构对再野化的痴迷正导致其保护区化为灰烬。而不得不帮RSPB灭火以防止火势蔓延到自己土地上的，正是我的猎场管理员朋友们。RSPB的山火危机如此严重，今年在萨福克郡、峰区和苏格兰的三个保护区灭火，需要数百名专业消防员参与。

每当RSPB说服那些轻信的部长们进一步收紧对北方农村企业的绞索时，结果就是更多的农村人口流失和更多缺乏保护的区域。这就是为什么RSPB目前试图诱骗部长们对狩猎实施许可制度如此重要。

RSPB希望白厅能扼杀雉鸡、鹧鸪和红臀 grouse 的狩猎。伦敦那些自命不凡的官员可能会心血来潮地关闭猎场。这些官僚无法理解那些热爱狩猎晚餐并热爱照看自己荒原的北方人。

北方必须与这个“官僚集团”作斗争。而没有什么比

牛津大学PPE（哲学、政治学和经济学）毕业生更像这个集团了。安杰拉·伊格尔（Angela Eagle）就是其中之一。在意识到她的部门承受压力的情况下，她上周在《卫报》上发表了一篇文章，声称再野化有助于减少山火。

伊格尔女士没有引用任何一项科学研究。她能提供的唯一证明其方法有效的“证据”，是一张萨默塞特郡国民信托基金会Holnicote庄园河谷的照片，那里在夏天保持着绿色。特大新闻：河流附近会长树。

另一位牛津PPE毕业生是能源大臣。米亚塔·法恩布勒（Miatta Fahnbulleh）对北方荒原的计划是在那里铺满200米高的风力涡轮机。

因此，安迪·伯纳姆需要做出一些决定。他有四周时间来决定是否允许预防性焚烧——高地焚烧季将于10月1日开始——否则将面临另一个冬季，届时植被将继续生长，成为明年的火药桶。

他会站在白厅官僚集团一边？还是站在他自称热爱的北方一边？他的政治遗产会是死去的消防员和将我们的荒原变成工业景观？还是他会抛弃那些空洞的姿态，让白厅停止干扰北方，好让我们再次繁荣？

作者：弗雷德·凯利（Fred Kelly）和伊恩·加拉格尔（Ian Gallagher）

即便在年幼时，阿西夫·阿齐兹（Asif Aziz）就拥有一种戏剧般的傲慢。他获得“西区先生”（Mr West End）这个绰号，并非因为他在戏剧方面的成就，也不是因为他自认为是个剧院大亨。

相反，这是因为他擅长吞并伦敦购物和娱乐区的巨额地块，包括皮卡迪利圆环的特罗卡德罗（Trocadero）休闲综合体。

如今，他是英国最成功的房地产开发商之一——而且可以说也是最贪婪的一个。

每年，他的慈善基金会都会出资在牛津街沿线布置斋月灯展，届时人们可以看到阿齐兹先生与伦敦市长萨迪克·汗爵士（Sir Sadiq Khan）亲切交谈，并以魅力和礼貌迎接他遇到的每一个人。

许多人认为，这位59岁的亿万富翁那和蔼的外表掩盖了罕见的冷酷。事实上，如今他被冠以一个完全不那么讨喜的称号——英国最刻薄的房东。这个称号是在他因疫情期间租金未付而将商业租户告上法庭后被贴上的，但事实上，这只是他漫长“罪状清单”中的一项。争议像影子一样紧随阿齐兹先生。

就在今年夏天，他又卷入了一场争端：在他南伦敦的一栋塔楼公寓中，三名儿童在热浪期间被送往医院，此前他们的父母被告知

他的£90 亿美元帝国包括伦敦著名的特罗卡德罗（他计划将其改为清真寺）以及用于避税的花哨“礼品店”。从关闭历史悠久的酒吧到威胁租户大规模驱逐，阿西夫·阿齐兹被指责为……

英国的刻薄

资本资产：阿西夫·阿齐兹（Asif Aziz）是伦敦深受喜爱的查尔斯王子电影院（左图）以及一系列俗称“礼品店”的庸俗店铺的房东。

不允许使用建筑内现有的空调。

今年早些时候，阿齐兹先生面临指控，称其创立的公司 Criterion Capital 在新的法定规则（旨在保护租户免受不公正驱逐）生效前，在该大楼中冷酷地策划“大规模驱逐”。甚至他的好友——伦敦市长也对相关报道表示“震惊”。该公司否认了这些指控。

除了公寓，阿齐兹先生在英国和欧洲不断扩张的价值 £90 亿美元 的房地产投资组合还包括餐饮场所、酒店和商店。

现在，人们开始质疑他所掌握的似乎不受约束的权力，以及这种权力对文化和社区空间等方面构成的威胁。例如，阿齐兹先生还被指控试图通过“霸凌”手段迫使一家深受喜爱的伦敦电影院倒闭；购买并关闭了至少 30 家传统的英国酒吧，以为他心爱的豪华公寓腾出空间；并用一家奢华酒店取代了伦敦的中央 YMCA（一家历史悠久的社区健身房和健康俱乐部）。

他还面临指控，称他对一种卑劣的逃税形式视而不见，这种逃税行为使得庸俗的“礼品店”像丑陋的皮疹一样在英国的主要购物街上蔓延。

然而，如果不是因为这些争议，他很可能会被赞誉为现代英国的成功典范。他于 1967, 年出生在马拉维，其家族在那里经营着一家成功的服装进口公司。在他七岁时，他们搬到了伦敦，他在切希尔郡的一所私立学校就读。阿齐兹先生在 16. 岁的稚嫩年纪就开始涉足房地产。他向一名拍卖师保证自己大两岁，成功为家族公司竞得了一栋位于南肯辛顿、价值 £190 万 的建筑。“他当时是房间后面一个瘦小、稚气未脱的小伙子，”那位困惑的拍卖师回忆道。

随着时间的推移，他在赚到大量资金的同时，还向众多慈善事业捐款。阿齐兹基金会还向国会议员捐赠了数千英镑。他将自己视为“伦敦丰富多样性的闪亮象征——反映了让这座城市如此非凡的温暖与共存”。

并非所有人都认同这一点。以那栋塔楼的居民为例，即位于首都西南方向科利尔斯伍德（Colliers Wood）、高 18 层 的布里塔尼亚点（Britannia Point），该建筑曾被称为英国最丑陋的建筑。空调争议发生在多年关于维护问题的投诉之后——包括电梯损坏、没有热水，以及 2022. 年有一块窗玻璃从 12 层 坠落到地面。该事件的视频引起了全国媒体的报道并引发了广泛谴责。结果发现，整栋塔楼共有 69 块窗户需要更换。

多年来，当地国会议员西奥班·麦克多纳女爵士（Dame Siobhain McDonagh）和议员斯图尔特·内弗森（Stuart Neaverson）一直代表布里塔尼亚点不幸的居民进行多次斗争。

今年 5 月，60 个被提供该建筑紧急安置房的无家可归家庭，据称在没有警告的情况下被关闭了冷却装置。由于玻璃面积巨大，大楼内部的“温室效应”显然达到了危险水平。

一名 31, 岁的母亲萨布丽娜·沃尔特斯（Sabrina Walters）表示：“我的小女儿一岁，她满身大汗。在她睡着后我把她从椅子上抱起来，她简直被汗水浸透了。我 12 岁的女儿则不断流鼻血——在两三天内流了 10 到 20 次。”

在被大楼里的另一位母亲告知，由于失去空调使用权，她不得不将四岁的儿子紧急送往 A&E（急诊室）后，西奥班女爵士向物业管理公司 Aura Assets Management 提出了质疑。过高的温度导致孩子“频繁流鼻血 [以及] 晕厥”。

一些读者可能会感到惊讶，这些家庭竟然配备了空调。但正如西奥班女爵士（Dame Siobhain）所指出的，这些设备最初是在该建筑之前出现安全隐患后才安装的；当时建筑内部温度高到极其危险，导致电梯自动关闭，就像在发生火灾时那样。

在给 Aura 公司的信中，西奥班女爵士写道：“我现在获悉，在失去空调使用权后，有多个家庭……在住所中遭受了危险的高温环境。”来自大楼前台的一条消息确认，沃尔特斯女士的空调已被“关闭”，因为根据其住宿安排，这些设备“并未被提供为一项便利设施”。

Aura 资产管理公司（Aura Assets Management）在一份声明中表示：“鉴于长期的高温天气，我们鼓励居民根据个人需求合理使用系统，同时注意潜在的电费成本。”

“该建议仅旨在帮助居民在能源消耗方面做出明智决定，不应被解读为不鼓励居民为了舒适和健康而使用空调。”

消息人士称，空调——

与伦敦市长 共庆斋月

房东

空调最初仅在向国会议员投诉的两名家长的公寓中重新开启，而居民被告知使用这些设备的费用在每月 £70 到夏季总计 £500 不等。

内弗森（Neaverson）议员告诉《每日邮报》：“多年来，科利尔斯伍德（Colliers Wood）一直处于了解住在阿西夫·阿齐兹（Asif Aziz）名下房产附近是什么感觉的最前线。自从他的公司买下不列颠角（Britannia Point）以来，问题就没停过，而且极其悲惨。从故意关闭弱势家庭的空调导致三名儿童住院，到试图在伦敦历史上实施最大规模的集体驱逐，他的公司 Criterion Capital 让数百个家庭的生活变成了地狱。而这仅仅是过去六个月的情况。”

“遗憾的是，阿西夫·阿齐兹和 Criterion 令人不齿的行为不仅限于科利尔斯伍德，还遍布整个首都的建筑。”

Capital 表示，关于空调的决定是由租赁持有者 Aura 和 People First Housing 做出的。

谈到特罗卡德罗（Trocadero），当阿齐兹先生在 2005, 年以 £2.2 亿 买下这座建筑时，它还是一个繁荣的娱乐空间，每年吸引 6800 万 名游客。二十年后，这座拥有灰泥外墙的地标现在成了一家拥有 728 间房的“无窗”酒店，此前该酒店曾获得规划许可在地下室建造一座备受争议的两层清真寺，后被修改为祈祷室和社区中心。

或许并不令人意外，阿齐兹先生非常厌恶公开露面。他大部分时间在阿布扎比度过，并在 2024 年将其定为自己的税务居住地。正如一位前同事所言，他继续在那里榨干英国租客的“最后一分钱”。

不列颠角的“集体驱逐”丑闻就是一个典型的例证。卷入其中的一名租客贝基·沃格特（Becky Vogt）在附近的圣乔治医院精神科病房工作。她告诉我们，她收到了一封来自 Capital 的电子邮件，宣布其打算接管该建筑，将数百名住户驱逐出去。“这让我感到焦虑和担忧，”沃格特女士说。其他租客告诉我们，他们收到了来自 的 Section 21 “无过错”驱逐通知。

尽管在斋月灯饰方面有共同兴趣，但市长萨迪克·汗（Sadiq Khan）表示，“ Capital 因租客自身没有过错而将数百人驱逐出家园，这是完全不可接受的”。

西奥班（Siobhain）女爵士告诉《每日邮报》，她担心 Capital 计划清空这座塔楼——以及伦敦其他住宅房产——其目的极其冷酷，是为了通过向寻求无家可归者临时住所的当地议会出租，从而实现“用更少的责任赚更多的钱”。

幸运的是，在遭到强烈抵制后， Capital 选择了退让，并古怪地声称其根本从未打算实施集体驱逐。

然而，这种表面的退让并未能减轻租客的担忧。“过去几年租金上涨了数百英镑，而他们还没修好电梯，”一名 42 岁的两个孩子的父亲说，“这简直是个笑话。我们被告知驱逐计划已经 U 型转弯（撤回），但我还没有收到任何访问，也没有直接收到 的回复。”

尽管年轻时在拍卖行努力过，但阿齐兹先生早期的房地产尝试并不成功。事实上，他在 20 世纪 90 年代离开了英国前往安哥拉。在那里，他赢得了雀巢（Nestle）、卡夫（Kraft）和联合利华（Unilever）的丰厚合同，在当时被内战蹂躏的国家分销产品。

十年后，他通过一项数百万英镑的交易卖掉了该公司。

聚焦：亿万富翁阿西夫·阿齐兹（右）与市长萨迪克·汗

然而，黎巴嫩买家后来起诉了阿齐兹先生，指控他虚报价值，并利用公司费用购买定制西装，甚至预订豪华游轮。阿齐兹先生否认了这些指控，尽管出现了一封他询问首席会计师的电子邮件，信中写道：“我们不能用另一种方式来操纵（bull****）这些数字吗？”

正是凭借这次出售的收益，他买下了特罗卡德罗（Trocadero），但随后因计划将这一文化遗产空间改为清真寺而遭到批评——尽管他计划在同一地点建造一家赌场。然而，引发最大反弹的是关于阿齐兹先生针对深受大众喜爱的查尔斯王子电影院（Prince Charles Cinema）所制定的计划，该电影院距离特罗卡德罗仅四分钟步行路程。电影院所在的物业由阿齐兹先生的另一家公司 Zedwell LSQ Ltd 拥有。

一年前，这家被《猜火车》导演丹尼·鲍伊尔（Danny Boyle）誉为“世界第九大奇迹”的电影院发起了一项自救请愿，声称 Zedwell 及其母公司 Criterion Capital 正在利用其“巨大的财务资源来恐吓我们”。

给查尔斯王子电影院提供的新租约包括租金上涨、更短的协议期限，以及——至关重要的一点——一个六个月的终止条款。电影院认为，一旦 Zedwell 获得在该地块开发酒店的规划许可，就打算激活该条款。

该请愿在 24 小时内就获得了 100,000 个签名，并吸引了包括演员保罗·梅斯卡尔（Paul Mescal）在内的好莱坞明星的支持。目前，这家电影院似乎暂时安全。

此外，还有一些阿齐兹先生并不试图驱逐的租户。去年，肯辛顿和贝斯沃特（Kensington and Bay-swater）选区的国会议员乔·鲍威尔（Joe Powell）在下议院表示，伦敦市中心一些俗称的“礼品店”正在运行一种被称为“凤凰计划”（phoenixing）的逃税方案。在这种方案中，这些低端店铺的法定所有者在不缴纳税款的情况下“消失”，从而允许新所有者接管，随后新所有者也会很快消失。

结果，该店铺可以在完全不缴纳任何税款的情况下攫取利润。

调查类初创新闻网站 London Centric 随后的研究发现，这些廉价礼品店——通常销售从糖果、冰箱贴到王室面具的所有商品——在名义上是由孟加拉国和印度的学生租赁的。

经查，其注册商业地址要么是过度拥挤的合租公寓，在另一种情况下，则是一个兼作非法倾倒垃圾场的停车场。

在 London Centric 调查的所有店铺中，每一家都是从阿齐兹·阿西夫（Asif Aziz）拥有的公司租赁的。

像阿齐兹先生这样的房东在法律上没有义务监督租户的税务情况，但这种做法无疑让人对其道德观产生质疑。

阿齐兹先生历来反击所有指控，指责反对者患有“伊斯兰恐惧症”，并称自己是“容易被攻击的目标”。但扮演受害者的角色不太可能奏效。“伦敦充满了独特的空间，我看到了重新构思和塑造它们的机遇，”他曾这样评价自己的职业生涯。

对于伦敦人来说，问题在于他们是否认同他心中所谓的愿景。如果以人们对 Britannia Point 及其他丑闻的反应为准，他们已经给出了响亮的答案。

公园内发现一名老妇尸体且已放置“数周”，警方展开谋杀调查

作者：Noor Qurashi

在一名老妇被发现死于公园后，警方已启动谋杀调查。

周五下午，在收到关于围墙花园区域发现尸体的报告后，警员被召至利物浦的斯坦利公园（Stanley Park）。该女性尚未被确认身份，据信年龄在 70 多岁，身高约 5. 2 英寸，体型瘦小，留着草莓金色头发。

一名公众在下午 5.30 点前不久发现她时，她穿着一件“醒目的粉色耐克 T 恤”。

警方确认调查仍在继续，目前正在进行闭路电视（CCTV）、证人及法医调查。尸检工作也已完成，但据称结果因调查原因被保密。

警方表示，初步调查表明，该女性的尸体可能在公园内放置了数周。侦查总监瑞秋·威尔逊（Rachel Wilson）补充道：“我们已经开展了多项调查方向，包括核查默西赛德郡及更广泛地区的失踪人口报告，但目前我们仍无法确认该女性的身份，希望公众能提供任何相关信息予以帮助。”她还表示，将请求近期或数周内曾在公园内，特别是围墙花园区域活动的散步者或遛狗者，如果看到或听到任何人行为可疑，请及时提供线索。

读读你和你丈夫之间的最后十条短信——我就能告诉你你的婚姻是否正处于危机之中

顶级离婚律师 希拉·麦金托什-斯图尔特 (Sheela Mackintosh-Stewart) 撰文

叮！手机收到一条来自伴侣的消息。你预想的是什么？是一个敷衍地询问你晚餐预计到达时间的请求，还是一个充满亲吻表情的“等不及见你了——我们去最喜欢的那家意大利餐厅吧？”

在一起多年后，你们的手机聊天是否已经退化成了简短的单字回复和单字母缩写？还是他会发送一串有趣的表情符号，以及他认为你会感兴趣的新闻文章？

而你现在发给他的短信语言又是怎样的——购物清单、冗长的解释，还是深情的爱意宣言？

作为一名离婚律师，我花了 30 多年时间倾听夫妻双方如何评价彼此，但我也发现，仅仅通过查看他们的短信，就能发现很多关于一段关系现状的信息。

随着人们结束夏季假期回归日常生活，我预计离婚咨询量将会激增——而我首先要做的事情之一就是询问他们如何沟通。事实上，相关的短信和 WhatsApp 消息

如何享受夏日最后的余韵……

你是否注意到，在度假时在海滩上饮用的美味当地葡萄酒，回到郊区的厨房里突然尝起来变得寡淡且酸涩？

或者，那瓶在度假时感觉“奇妙且独特”的苦味利口酒，现在回到工作中尝起来却觉得古怪？

如果你没听说过“情境效应”（context effect），你可能也经历过它——这就是为什么东西在度假时尝起来更好吃的原因。

根据牛津大学研究大脑如何结合视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉和嗅觉来创造多感官体验的胃物理学家查尔斯·斯彭斯（Charles Spence）教授的说法，风味不仅由我们的感官决定，还受到周围环境、心情、预期甚至记忆的影响。

可能是拍岸的水声和餐厅的嘈杂声影响了你的味蕾，或者是西班牙吉他的轻柔拨奏。压力也是一个因素，因此轻松的氛围会给食物和饮料带来一种“光环效应”。

去掉上述所有因素，度假时的饮品回到英国后失去吸引力也就不足为奇了。斯彭斯先生将此称为“普罗旺斯桃红葡萄酒悖论”——并指出相反的情况也可能发生，如果你没有玩得开心，或者不喜欢你的饮酒或用餐同伴，食物和饮料的味道会变得更差。

但不必担心！如果你一直想念上次旅行中那些令人回味的风味，这里有六瓶能通过“行李箱味觉测试”的酒。更棒的是，其中许多都非常符合当下的流行趋势——这样你不仅可以用度假照片，还能用葡萄酒给朋友们留下深刻印象。

意大利，西西里岛

在参观了一整天古迹并在镇上散步之后，你一定会感到饥饿。在这里，重点是街头美食，或者是自带小餐馆（trattorias）并在阳光下提供简单小吃的葡萄园。那么，喝什么呢？

这座意大利岛屿以其大约 70 个当地葡萄品种而闻名，这些品种能酿造出令人愉悦的质朴葡萄酒。

Frappato 是这些典型的西西里葡萄品种之一，它能酿造出轻盈、带有草莓香气的红葡萄酒，稍微冷藏后口感极佳。将其与浓郁的自制卡波纳塔（caponata）或冷盘搭配，你会发誓听到窗外有蝉鸣声。

尝试：Santa Tresa Frappato, 西西里岛, £13, Ocado

一款带有泥土气息草莓风味和

海伦娜·尼克林 (Helena Nicklin) 撰文

草本收尾的绝佳 Frappato。轻微的冷藏赋予了它一种令人上瘾的抓握感，与食物搭配效果也很好。

法国罗讷河谷

想象一下：一个灿烂的下午，在河边野餐，吃着在市场买的新鲜法棍、肉酱和奶酪，再配上一杯当地的白葡萄酒。

英国人一直很钟爱那些性价比极高的罗讷河谷（Côtes du Rhône）红葡萄酒，但现在抢占头条的是白葡萄酒。

因此，在伦敦最热门的新餐厅 Cafe Clement 将其像啤酒一样通过龙头供应，或许并不令人意外。这些白葡萄酒由鲁桑（Roussanne）和马桑（Marsanne）等葡萄酿造，口感醇厚细腻而非清脆酸爽，带有白巧克力和青柠的基调，与奶油意面、鸡肉，甚至仅仅是面包和奶酪搭配起来都堪称绝妙。

推荐尝试：Les Dauphins Côtes du Rhône White, C10, Waitrose

罗讷河谷白葡萄酒，£10, Waitrose 虽然依然非常清新且干爽， 这款罗讷河谷白葡萄酒具有极佳的桃子奶油吸引力， 口感中带着一丝轻微的蜂蜡感。 性价比极高。

希腊克里特岛

很有可能，你在克里特岛度假的大多数夜晚都是在海边一家简朴的小酒馆里，享用着鳀鱼和烤章鱼大餐。

克里特岛并不以高端葡萄酒闻名，但你可以在这里找到亚辛提可（Assyrtiko）——希腊的明星白葡萄品种。它具有极强的酸度以及咸鲜的矿物质感，就像在所有食物上挤了柠檬一样，能让味蕾焕发清新。

它是烤鱼和咸奶酪的绝佳选择。你可以在家中用一瓶冰镇白葡萄酒和烤炉来重现这种氛围，将汉堡换成海鲈鱼等鱼类，再配上一些哈罗米奶酪（halloumi）或费塔奶酪（feta）。 推荐尝试：Lyrarakis Assyrtiko 2025, £11 mix 6 (£15 single) Majestic 如果你喜欢夏布利（Chablis），你一定会爱上亚辛提可——而这个版本是由顶级生产商酿造的。它清脆、极干且酸爽，略带花香，并具有令人愉悦的咸味。

科西嘉岛

科西嘉岛的晚餐充满了感官享受，尤其是如果你坐在卡尔维（Calvi）或博尼法乔（Bonifacio）的露台上，脚下就是海水，温暖的山丘上飘来草本灌木丛的香气。当地的桃红葡萄酒通常由 Sciaccarellu 和 Niellucciu 葡萄酿造，呈现出一种格外浓郁、顺滑的粉红色调，带有红果实的清脆感和淡淡的草本气息。它是当地烟熏肉类或淋了栗子蜂蜜的羊奶酪的理想搭配——这道菜在家里也很容易复制。

推荐尝试：Cintu Ile de Beauté

科西嘉桃红葡萄酒，£10, M&S / Ocado 这款来自美丽岛屿的酒瓶外观精美，初尝清新，带有柑橘味和微妙的草本气息，随后转化为丝滑的草莓奶油口感。

克罗地亚

得益于未受破坏的海滩和蔚蓝的大海，克罗地亚目前正处于旅游业的鼎盛时期。现在的焦点全在海岸线上，那里的用餐节奏缓慢，且通常是在家庭经营的“农家乐”（agriturismos）的长桌上户外用餐，而非正式的餐厅。

这里的葡萄酒同样具有独特的个性，当地葡萄品种大放异彩，无论是用 Plavac Mali 酿造的浓郁多汁的红葡萄酒，用 Malvazija Istarska 酿造的清脆花香白葡萄酒，还是 Graševina（克罗地亚种植最广泛的葡萄）那种精致、带有轻微香气且通常为半干型的白葡萄酒。

后者在英国最容易买到。建议将其与淡水鱼和大量红椒粉搭配。

推荐尝试：Croatica Graševina, Kvalitetno Vino, £12.50 (£33 for 3), Tanners 这是一个非常漂亮且经典的 Graševina 版本，优雅而富有果味。让人联想到青苹果、成熟梨以及一些葡萄花香。

葡萄牙

长期以来，葡萄牙一直出产极其美味的静止干葡萄酒，这些酒由一些名不见经传且难以发音的葡萄品种混酿而成。它们依然具有极高的性价比——而且，天呐，它们与当地美食简直是绝配！

不妨尝试用一杯加入橙片的白波特酒加汤力水（white Port and tonic）来迎接日落，以此替代标准的金汤力（G&T）；或者搭配烤沙丁鱼来一杯清爽的绿酒（Vinho Verde）。

那些追求更浓郁、更具巧克力风味的红葡萄酒的人，可以将目光移向更南边的特茹（Tejo）地区，甚至更南端的阿尔加维（Algarve）地区，那里的混酿葡萄酒与分量十足的烤肉或禽类炖菜简直是天作之合。

无论你选择哪一种，你的银行假期烧烤派对都绰绰有余了。尝试：The Sardine Submarine Tejo, £9.50, Waitrose。我完全不明白为什么这款令人难忘的葡萄酒还没有流行起来。这是一款非常美味的混酿酒，带有清脆的黑莓果香、香料味以及黑巧克力的气息。

接前页

这些内容经常作为法律程序的一部分而出现。其中一些看似无关紧要的对话可能会揭示出令人惊讶的信息。它们为我提供了一个观察一段关系中情感温度的小窗口，帮助我理解其中是否存在温暖、爱意和幽默，还是怨恨、疏离和潜藏的愤怒。

多年来，无数客户将手机怼到我的鼻子底下，说道：“你看这个！我到底该怎么回复？”

我见过他们焦虑且受伤，经常愤怒，有时在重新阅读短信对话时完全不知所措，拼命想弄清楚他为什么要发这条信息以及是什么意思。更不用说在如何回复的问题上苦苦纠结了。

与此同时，在进行关系辅导时，我会要求伴侣向我展示他们的日常信息，因为这是剖析他们习惯于如何与对方交流的一种非常有效的手段。很多时候，短信（无论是发送还是接收的）所展现出的善意远比他们意识到的要少。

当伴侣不再关注自己的关系并任其漂流时，这种情况往往会体现在他们日常发信息的模式中。

你们短信交流的语气和节奏确实为你们关系的健康状况提供了微小但强有力的线索。

你自己试一下。打开手机，检查你们之间最后交换的十条信息。不要刻意挑选六个月前的周年纪念信息。就选最后十条。你看到了什么？

这些信息并不是一种关系诊断，但它们确实提供了提示。你们可以整天互发爱心表情符号但依然过得痛苦，或者拥有最令人发指的、充满家务琐事的枯燥短信记录但依然深爱对方。

不要过度解读一个没好气的“k”（OK的缩写，在青少年中很常用）。重要的是整体模式，以及你们在手机上的沟通方式是否也反映了你们在现实生活中的关系感受。是否有善意？协作？趣味感？还是没有……？

你们的短信是否展现出两个真正喜欢对方的人？

检查一下你的手机是值得的，因为这种看似平凡的互动可能会揭示出需要修复的关系紧张局势。

纯粹的功能性

你的 WhatsApp 互动是否看起来像是一系列来自“任务控制中心”的命令？“能买瓶牛奶吗？”“你几点回家？”“周四家长会”。“预计到达时间：6.30”，“收到”。

这种互动方式表明一对伴侣高效且有组织，其“家庭有限公司”运转得像时钟一样精准。

实用且功能性的信息并没有错。许多幸福的伴侣会将爱意、欢笑和深入的交谈留到两人在一起的时候。

但问题在于，当这些信息占据了你们全部的聊天内容，且这种“商务氛围”开始挤掉两人之间的爱意、好奇心、乐趣和欢笑时，麻烦就来了。

同样值得注意的是，其中缺失了任何“请”或“谢谢”的证据——这些话你可能会很乐意对服务员或超市收银员说，但显然却对你爱的人吝啬起来。

行动计划：问问自己：“我们只是在进行功能性发信，还是我们的整个关系已经变成了一张巨大的待办事项清单？”如果是后者，那么是时候在聊天中重新注入爱意了。在功能性信息之间穿插一些有趣的内容，或者一点调情的话语。一点点“甜言蜜语”就能在维持婚姻活力方面发挥巨大作用。

消极攻击

你的沟通中是否潜入了一种刻薄、愤恨的基调？是否每条短信都带着刺？“噢，那你别担心，我来做。又是我来。”或者，“嗯，有时间去健身房一定很惬意吧”，以及“很高兴我们之中有人能睡个懒觉”，或者“我已经问过你三次了”。

讽刺和消极攻击的短信通常表明，内心深处正愤怒地翻滚着怨恨，但没有人真正说出真正困扰他们的是什么。

行动计划：如果你们的短信已经变成了一张记录谁做了什么、谁没做什么以及谁更疲惫的计分表，那么是时候放下手机，改为面对面交谈了。停止挖苦，直接且友善地表达你真正的需求。试着这样说：“我觉得压力太大了，我需要更多帮助。”

或者，如果对方是那个在进行消极攻击的人，让他们知道你觉得这很伤人，而且其破坏力比他们想象的要大：“这件事让我很难过。我们能谈谈吗？”

单字与表情符号 表情符号和缩写取代了日常语言中许多微妙的细微差别。你的沟通线索中是否充斥着由“k”、“yep”、“cool”或大拇指表情和 OK 表情（即食指和拇指组成圆圈的手势）交替组成的单音节序列。

这并不自动意味着你的关系出了问题。我们都很忙，也很容易分心。但要警惕单方面的表现。如果其中一方在尝试沟通，而对方仅给出简短的图片回复，这可能预示着情感上的疏离——甚至可能是出轨。我见过这种突然的冷漠，通常发生在某人开始出轨，其注意力和情感精力转移到其他地方的时候。

行动计划：问问自己，你们一直以来都是这样沟通的，还是发生了某种变化？几条简短的短信不能证明出轨，但如果温暖突然消失，那么是时候询问了：“你最近似乎有点疏远。一切都还好吗？”

短信可能非常适合处理快捷事务，但对于任何重要的事情，你需要放下手机，进行正式的交谈。人类的声音可以柔化语气并提供细微的差别，这是短信永远无法做到的。

突然变得神秘

如果你的伴侣曾经经常发送充满爱意的信息，但现在却在很长一段时间里变得奇怪地难以联系，并且在回复短信询问时仅表示：“抱歉，在忙”、“在开会”、“手机没电了”或“加班，不用等我”，请务必提高警惕。

手机行为变得神秘并不足以证明出轨，但在我的离婚诊所处理了几十年的不忠案例后，每当我听到关于短信习惯突然发生且无法解释的变化时，我的警钟总是会敲响。随之而来的危险信号包括：他们深夜发短信，锁屏界面上的通知会自动消失，手机总是屏幕朝下放置，或者现在连去洗手间都要带着手机。

行动计划：不要扮演夏洛克·福尔摩斯（不要偷窥或指责）。突然的神秘行为可能完全是无辜的。但要留意明显的行为变化，尤其是当这种变化伴随着防御心理或情感疏离时。

还有一件事需要警惕……这通常是有人开始出轨的迹象

询问：“我注意到你最近用手机的方式有些不同。一切都还好吗？”

小心翼翼 一系列试探性的短信，例如：“抱歉打扰你……”、“请不要生气，但是……”或者“如果你不想让我去，我就取消”，可能是你们关系中的情感氛围出现问题的迹象。一段健康的关系在网络上和现实生活中都应该让人感到情感安全——你们双方都应该能够提出问题、表达担忧或犯错，而无需担心对方的反应。

行动计划：问问自己，你小心翼翼地措辞是因为你体贴，还是因为你害怕对方的反应。如果其中一方经常在修改措辞、道歉，或担心惹恼伴侣及其反应，这并非好事。

一次紧张的短信不能证明什么，但如果这成为一种重复的模式，那么是时候找你信任的人谈谈或寻求专业支持了。如果你真的感到恐惧，请将自身安全放在首位，而不是单独与伴侣对质。

如果你收到伴侣发来的试探性短信，请反过来思考。问问自己：“为什么他们会担心我的反应？”诚实面对。当你不喜欢现状时，你会暴躁、生闷气或变得冷漠吗？

试着这样说：“你似乎担心会惹我生气。我不希望你觉得必须小心翼翼地对待我。是我做了什么让你有这种感觉吗？”

接下来的部分最难：认真倾听，不要急于为自己辩护。

你可能不喜欢听到的内容，但那些紧张的小短信可能是关于你的伴侣在你身边感受如何的线索。

短信愤怒

如果你的短信中充斥着愤怒的大写字母和感叹号，请警惕：“你从来不听”、“又来了！！”、“我已经告诉你了！！”或“我受够了”。

我们都会对彼此感到愤怒和恼火——这很正常。但如果短信模式看起来更像拳击场上的刺拳和重拳，那么——相当明显地——这不是一个好迹象。这种对抗性的沟通方式旨在发泄、反击或获胜。当你愤怒时，手机可能会变成一种武器。

更糟糕的是，由于缺乏能缓和艰难对话的面部表情、语气或触碰，一场短信争吵在几秒钟内就可能从零升级到核爆级别。

行动计划：永远不要在愤怒时发短信。如果你是那个愤怒的发信者，在点击“发送”之前停下来，问问自己：你是想解决问题，还是仅仅想伤害你的伴侣？暂停。先冷静下来。把手机放在另一个房间，去散散步，洗个澡，深呼吸。如果必须发泄，可以在“备忘录”应用中写，但不要按下发送键。

一旦你弄清楚了什么让你心烦以及你需要伴侣理解什么，请面对面地沟通。

以“我对发生的事情感到非常难过”开头，而不是“你总是……”

如果你是短信愤怒的接收方，不要被卷入一场愤怒的“乒乓球赛”。当你受到攻击时，很容易想立即反击——尤其是当某些事情让你觉得不公平时——但这只会火上浇油。

不要试图通过短信赢得争论。暂停，如果你觉得安全，发送一条简单的信息，例如：“我能看出你真的很生气。我不希望我们说出让自己后悔的话，所以等我们都冷静下来后再谈吧。”然后放下手机，走开一段时间。

如果充满愤怒、侮辱性或恐吓性的信息成为你们关系的常态，这就是严重的信号，不应被简单地视为“只是生气”。这种攻击性和对抗性的发信模式需要被解决。如果这种语气让你感到恐惧、受威胁或被控制，请寻求支持，而不是独自面对。

当不再有争吵，不再有质问，不再有好奇心时，这可能意味着你们其中一方已经完全停止了抗争，并且在情感上已经退出了这段关系。

行动计划：不要因为几条冷淡的短信就匆忙下结论——我们每个人都会感到疲惫、压力大或分心。但如果温暖、好奇、爱意以及建立联系的欲望都已消失 both

情感退出

“爱的叮咚声”才是目标

文字上的争吵令人担忧，但最能触动我作为离婚律师的敏感神经的，是那些平淡、不置可否的短信中渗出的情感冷漠。如果你的手机里充斥着诸如“随便”、“说实话我不在乎”、“你想怎么做就怎么做”或“为了孩子，我们先把这个周末熬过去”这类随意的回复，那么你可能陷入麻烦了。

在理想的世界——以及理想的关系中——完美的短信交流应当点缀着细小的“爱的叮咚声”：“在想你”、“想你”、“会议进展如何？”以及“迫不及待想见到你”。

如果偶尔能出现一些“你今天早上看起来美极了”、“我看到这个想到了你”以及任何组合的心形表情符号，那就更好了。

这些是我最喜欢看到的 WhatsApp 聊天记录，因为健康的伴侣会彼此关心，互相鼓励和欣赏。无论你们在一起多久，或者这看起来多么俗气，你都需要知道，我们人类永远不会停止对被赏识的需求。

同样，我也喜欢看到那些分享链接的短信，这表明双方有共同兴趣，并渴望在对彼此有意义的话题上进行交流——比如 Spotify 上的一首新歌、一篇在线文章、一个想要尝试的食谱，或是一家新餐厅。

问问你自己：上一次你给伴侣发短信仅仅是为了让他们心情愉快是什么时候？如果你记不起来了，现在就拿出手机，发送一条积极、甜蜜且充满爱意的消息，明天再发一条。

一条 WhatsApp 消息无法挽救一段濒临破裂的关系，但养成每天关注对方的习惯——哪怕是通过短信——也能产生真正的影响。

强大的关系建立在数百个微小的瞬间之上，这些瞬间让我们的伴侣感到被看见、被赏识、被重视和被选择。有时，一个心形表情符号就足够了。

在电话中以及现实生活中，请不要忽视这一点。

问问你自己：“我们停止争吵是因为情况好转了，还是因为我们中有人已经不再在乎到不愿争吵了？”不要等到告别对话时才意识到。现在就进行那场艰难的对话。

试着这样说：“我觉得我们最近变得非常疏远。你也有这种感觉吗？我们之间发生了什么？”

灵感

如何穿得像个成年人 Shane Watson

我很高兴能收起我的超轻连衣裙，以及工业风扇和 50 倍防晒霜，但我们不要太快地将那些曾经只在度假时穿的夏季服装封存。

许多陪伴我们度过热浪的单品——除了少数几件单薄的例外——都可以重新定义并穿入秋季。

它们已经证明自己可以实现从海滩到办公室的跨越，现在，通过一点造型上的调整，我们可以在气温下降时继续穿着它们。所以在你将它们打包收起来之前，请先暂停一下……

夏季大容量托特包

杜阿·利帕（Dua Lipa）那个巨大的香奈儿篮子包自从她 8 月携带它前往纽约以来就一直备受关注，但杜阿，现在还不需要把它收起来。关键在于颜色，黑色、棕色或条纹的草编、帆布或布料材质在海滩之外的秋季同样适用。收起来：当阳光彻底消失时，收起纯草编篮子包。

白色或米白色牛仔裤

在美国，白色牛仔裤曾被认为在劳动节（9 月 7 日）之后穿着是不恰当的，但现在，当它们与黑色或驼色高领衫、四分之一拉链毛衣、漏斗领粗花呢夹克，或一件系腰的柔软大衣搭配时，显得最为时髦。最后搭配一双中跟杏仁方头黑靴，你就能让凯亚·格伯（Kaia Gerber）感到压力了。

收起来：白色西装裤。

白色衬衫

一件挺括的白色衬衫正迅速成为与无处不在的战壕风衣一样“必备”的单品，是你的智能休闲首选。在接下来的几个月里，你可以将其搭配整洁的牛仔裤和高跟鞋，肩披一件毛衣；或者搭配西装外套和西装裤；亦或是搭配及膝裙或宽腿裤。 收起来：亚麻衬衫。

重新定义夏季衣橱的时尚方法

我想买一个：杜阿·利帕（Dua Lipa）带着她的香奈儿篮子

全白造型：海莉·比伯（Hailey Bieber）穿着宽松牛仔裤

吊带上衣

你在夏季的夜晚穿过新款带蕾丝边吊带上衣吗？如果是的话，不要把它收起来，在稍微收腰的西装外套（这是最新的流行趋势）下面穿它会非常时尚。让蕾丝边在智能牛仔裤或西装裤的腰带上方若隐若现，以营造蕾丝边带来的视觉冲击力。

收起来：吊带裙。

豹纹（或玳瑁色）

它是棕色、黑色和米色的结合，并带有焦糖色的基调——这些正是秋季衣橱的构建色——因此，这种印花现在可以全年穿着也就不足为奇了。

如果是精致的棉质连衣裙，只需搭配一件黑色大衣或夹克。如果是裙子，将腰部以上的白色更换为红色或巧克力棕色。如果是豹纹牛仔裤，将浅色衬衫更换为奶油色高领毛衣或棕色麂皮衬衫夹克。

收起来：波点、蓝白条纹。

背心和 T 恤

没有什么比在脸部附近点缀一点白色更能提亮面色和减轻整体造型沉重感了。继续将你在盛夏穿着的背心作为一件清爽的内搭，穿在毛衣或开襟衫的领口处，或在夹克下若隐若现。 收起来：挂脖上衣。

西装马甲

那些拥有米歇尔·奥巴马般手臂线条的人，今年夏天在穿马甲时里面什么都没穿。接下来的日子会更轻松，因为马甲将继续在你的智能日间衣橱中占据核心地位，可以搭配一件男友风衬衫，或者在夹克下面直接单穿。 收起来：白色和浅色马甲。

太阳镜

除非是大雨倾盆，否则不要把它们收起来。对抗眼周细纹、疲惫感和面色苍白的最强武器就是一副粗框太阳镜。（飞行员款最修饰脸型。） 收起来：宽檐遮阳帽。

牛仔裙

如果是直筒或微 A 字型、材质柔软且长度刚好在膝盖下方，请将其视为你的入门款裙子，搭配一件长度在臀部的短款夹克。

在穿上配套的西装外套和裙子之前，我们会穿着这种混搭的裙装套装，而牛仔材质是一个极佳的起点，因为这种新风格的裙装套装非常随性，而且你的穿着方式也很放松：没有垫肩，没有紧身袖口，也没有束腿裙。 收起来：分层中长裙。

开襟衫

那件你可能只穿过一次的超轻便开襟衫，在秋天会非常实用——它可以作为颈部围巾与毛衣叠穿，或者系在裙装或裤装的腰间。黑色和红色是你的万能配色。 收起来：大号棉质围巾。

连衣裙，£95，cos.com

为新季节更新衣橱是生活中的一大乐趣，而今年的秋季色彩尤其抢眼。

忘掉你惯用的深酒红色，这次请大胆尝试亮红色。

想要寻找灵感，只需看看 26 年秋冬系列的 T 台。Carolina Herrera 的作品充满了充满活力的辣椒红，从剪裁利落的套装到罂粟花图案；而 Ferragamo 则推出了深红色的皮革套装及配套配饰。Lanvin 和 Balenciaga 则都将这种颜色与点缀的紫色进行撞色处理。

红色也得到了名人们的认可。女演员凯蒂·霍姆斯（Katie Holmes）最近在 Michael Kors 45 周年纪念晚宴上被拍到穿着一件亮紫色连衣裙，搭配对比鲜明的红色高跟鞋。或者，如果你追求毫不费力的时尚感，可以借鉴女演员黛西·埃德加-琼斯（Daisy Edgar-Jones）的穿搭，将红色针织衫与白色牛仔裤和黑色配饰搭配在一起。

如果你想让衣橱充满喜悦，忘掉即将到来的雨天，这里是我为你精选的高街最佳新品。

首先是一件过渡季外套——现在早晨气温降低，这是此时必备的单品。Aligne 推出了

红色警报：你现在唯一需要的颜色

完美的无领西装外套，带有当下流行的结扣细节。或者尝试目前非常流行的更休闲的运动风格。玛莎（Marks and Spencer）刚刚推出了完美的滚边漏斗领外套，而 Zara 则有一款有趣的缎面效果飞行员夹克，带有运动奢华感。同样的主题，Mint Velvet 的巧妙红条纹裤将两种风格合二为一：宽腿裤与运动裤。

如果你想要更正式一点，Cos 的褶皱连衣裙是现在最值得购买的单品——由于其无袖设计，在温暖的气温下很适用，而到了今年晚些时候，搭配麂皮靴和外套同样好看。

如果你在寻找一种简单地在上下装同时运用该颜色的方法，Jigsaw 的针织套装是我的首选。但如果你更倾向于在单件单品中体现这种颜色，可以尝试 With Nothing Underneath 的石榴红色男友风丝绸衬衫。

在投入大块厚重毛衣之前，可以先从一件简单的开襟衫开始尝试。Gap 有一款完美的圆领棉质开襟衫，仅售 £25。邮筒红并不适合所有人，如果你想在不完全跟风的情况下向这一趋势致敬，可以寻找深色一点的深红色配饰。这是在不破坏整体造型的情况下增加视觉冲击力的绝佳方式。

Boden 有一款非常棒的漆皮乐福鞋，如果你突然遇雨，这款鞋非常理想；或者 Reserved 也有很漂亮的亮色芭蕾平底鞋。

多年来，每当天气转凉，我都期待着能重新穿上连裤袜。在海滩上，我总是用围裙（sarongs）和飘逸的长裙包裹自己，避开短裤。

这并非因为我喜欢这种风格，而是因为我的橘皮组织（cellulite）。

这种状况影响了高达 90% 的女性——而 52, 岁的我也未能幸免。在 30 岁后期，我的腿后侧最初只是出现了一些浅浅的凹陷，随后演变成了全面的“橘皮”状态，环绕在我的大腿上，并向膝盖蔓延。

作为一名美容编辑，我花了 20 年时间测试橘皮组织治疗方法，到目前为止，最有效的是廉价且低技术的每日身体刷洗。但实际上并没有什么真正起作用。

因此，当我成为第一位尝试注射疗法 Alidya 的英国记者时，我感到非常兴奋。Alidya 由意大利整形外科医生帕斯夸莱·莫托莱塞（Pasquale Motolese）教授开发。Alidya 在欧洲已经推出一段时间，但对英国来说是一个新产品。它能否给我信心，让我在这个夏天穿上短裤？

在进入注射环节之前，先聊一点（稍微有点恶心的）生物学知识。橘皮组织是皮肤下方的结构性变化，其中脂肪向上推，而将皮肤与肌肉连接的纤维带向下牵拉，从而形成了熟悉的凹陷。

激素、遗传、血液循环以及胶原蛋白（使皮肤紧致且有弹性的蛋白质）都起到了作用。女性尤其容易出现这种情况，因为我们皮肤下的纤维带是纵向运行的，使得脂肪更容易在它们之间凸起。而在男性身上，这些纤维形成交叉图案，能更均匀地将脂肪固定在原位。

绝经期（A pause）并不能缓解这一问题。波动的激素会导致大腿和臀部周围沉积更多脂肪，同时使皮肤变薄，使任何凹陷变得更加明显。它们还会消耗体内的胶原蛋白储备。

一些研究人员还认为，由压力、不良饮食和环境毒素引起的低度炎症，随着时间的推移，可能在破坏皮肤支撑结构方面发挥作用。

这就是 Alidya 如此有趣的原因。它声称的目标不是尝试紧致皮肤或缩小脂肪细胞，而是针对与橘皮组织相关的几种生物学变化。

我去了伦敦市中心的 Wigmore Medical，在那里我见到了美容从业者安娜·贝克（Anna Baker），她在西萨塞克斯郡的东格里内斯特德（East Grinstead）拥有 Retreatery 诊所，并且是英国少数接受过 Alidya 培训的临床医生之一。

去年夏天

她检查了我的大腿，告诉我我有中度的 Grade 2 橘皮组织，即站立时皮肤有可见的凹陷。（共有三个等级：Grade 1 为轻微凹陷，Grade 3 则表现得更严重，像深层绗缝的床垫一样）。“Grade 2 橘皮组织正是 Alidya 设计针对的类型，”她说。

但它真的有效吗？

安娜很谨慎，没有过度承诺。“结果可能会有所不同，”她说。“但在合适的患者身上，我们确实看到了皮肤纹理和紧致度的显著改善。它通过改善组织的底层环境来逐渐发挥作用。大多数患者需要大约 7 次治疗（每次 £250 起），每隔一周进行一次。

“你应该在每次治疗后看到逐渐的改善，但

在尝试了20年治疗橘皮组织的方法后……一种新的£250注射疗法能彻底根治它吗？

你可以期待在最后一次治疗几周后看到完整效果。' Alidya是通过一系列极小的注射（我的每个臀瓣和大腿上部大约注射了70针）直接注入皮下。该溶液包含用于恢复皮肤弹性的氨基酸、用于中和氧化应激的抗氧化剂，以及其他有助于清除积聚在组织中并减缓淋巴排毒的重金属成分。

安娜警告我会有“刺痛感”，但对我来说，注射过程是可以忍受的。

整个过程大约花费了40分钟。结束时，我的大腿上看起来像布满了蚊子叮咬的星群，但不疼。在接下来的24小时里，该区域出现了淤青且触痛，持续了大约三天。安娜向我保证这是正常现象，随后会消退，并为我开了一些护肤霜和胶原蛋白饮品以缓解持续的淤青。

安娜说，我不应该期待瞬间的改变。“人们通常在两周后首先注意到的是肤色和浮肿的轻微改善，”她说，“结构性的改变需要更长时间。”

到第三周时，我大腿后侧的皮肤看起来明显没那么斑驳了。凹陷依然存在，但感觉没那么明显，就像有人把它们熨平了一样。

八周（以及六次治疗）之后，我面临着度假测试。我要去瑞典，周围将是极其健美的斯堪的纳维亚人，所以这次测试至关重要。

站在我们海滨小屋的浴室里，我在刺眼的斯堪的纳维亚日光下看到了自己的倒影——这种光线会暴露出所有细节，绝不宽容。橘皮组织隐约可见，但看起来密度降低了，阴影也减轻了。肤色变得稍微均匀了一些，大腿外侧最严重的“橘子皮”效应消失了。我感觉自己更轻盈、更自信。

我在吃早餐时穿了短裤，这让我感到很自由。没有人说什么，也没有人带着厌恶的目光盯着看——相信我，这种情况以前发生过——而这已经足够算是一次胜利了。Alidya并非灵丹妙药。但对我而言，它足以带来可见的、能增强自信的改变。

在完成六次疗程后，我报名参加了每两个月一次的加强疗程，这是为了维持效果而推荐的。是的，这是一个昂贵的新习惯。但我想，如果没有这些治疗，皮肤会恢复到之前的状态。我终于接受了，橘皮组织不是某种可以被彻底征服的东西——但它绝对可以得到改善。

我们都热爱自己的爱犬。但我们是否足够热爱它们，以至于愿意带着它们去布列塔尼度过为期两周的家庭夏季假期？

这是我每年八月都会问自己的问题。我已经好几次屈服于脱欧后极其繁琐的动物健康证明官僚程序——那是一份多页的法律文件，如果没有它，我的两只拉布拉多贵宾犬奥托 (Otto) 和古斯 (Goose) 就无法出国。

这在时间和精力上都是双重打击，更不用说那令人咋舌的费用，以及在申请证明之前它们必须接种的狂犬病疫苗。

此外，在极受欢迎的朴次茅斯至卡昂航线上，允许携带宠物的船舱在四月份就售罄了。我已经好几次错过了机会（原谅我用这个双关语），然后陷入纠结，思考这两只狗在六小时的航行中待在路虎车的后备箱里是否能撑得住。我们试过一次，结果它们完全受不了。

所以今年，带着一丝愧疚，我想：“干脆把它们留在家里吧。”当然，这只有在你能找到可靠的宠物看护人的情况下才行，但过去我一直很幸运。有一个名为“英国房屋与宠物看护人” (House and Pet Sitters UK) 的极棒的 Facebook 群组，以及 Trusted House-sitter 网站，你可以在那里发布广告。通常有一种心照不宣的约定：如果你足够幸运地住在令人向往的地方——我们住在奇切斯特市中心，西威特灵 (West Wittering) 和古德伍德 (Goodwood) 就在家门口——那么人们会很乐意在获得免费住宿的交换条件下照顾你的狗。

今年夏天我提前开始了寻找，随即收到了大量申请。很快，我选定了彼得*，他最近离婚了，卖掉了家庭住宅，正在等待购买自己的房子。

我们在 Facebook 上有共同好友，这总是让人感到安心。我们见面聊了几个小时，这样我可以向他展示狗狗们最喜欢的散步路线，并详细说明它们那确实很长的需求清单。在家庭假期前一周，我前往美国出差，心中笃定一切都已安排妥当，感到很轻松。

但就在我外出期间，彼得给我发消息说，他得到了一份无法拒绝的有偿工作。距离我们的假期开始不到七天，我没有一个人能照顾奥托和古斯。我甚至无法在最后一刻决定带它们去法国，因为它们的狂犬病疫苗已经过期了。

在恐慌之中，我重新发布了广告，几乎立即收到了一位三十多岁女性佐伊*发来的友好回复。

当我的新宠物看护人突然失联时，我担心自己把一个危险的陌生人留在家里……

她已从古灵精怪的自由灵魂变成了精神病患者

在 WhatsApp 上，她看起来很可爱，对我发的大量语音消息表现得很宽容，在那些消息里，我拼命地试图塞进关于 Goose 和 Otto 的所有生活习惯和古怪之处。她说：“请尽可能多地告诉我关于它们的事！狗狗就像家人一样。”

这给了我极大的安慰。佐伊（Zoe）还同意在我们要出发的前一天晚上飞过来，这样她可以和我们以及狗狗们共度夜晚，我也能与她面对面见一面。

愚蠢的是，因为我忙于旅行和工作，没有核实她的推荐信。我的理由是，她发给我的所有信息都让人安心。然后，在她抵达的前一天，她说她把航班改到了周六早上，可能在我们离开之后才能到达我家。

“但别担心！”她写道，“你直接把钥匙留在那儿就行。”

呃，不行。我绝不可能在没见过面的人那里留下狗狗——以及我的房子——然后就出国。此时，我正严肃地考虑留在家里陪 Goose 和 Otto，但随后佐伊又改变了主意，说结果她可以在我们出发去乘轮渡前的一小时到达奇切斯特（Chichester）。

我对这个方案也不满意，但总比没有好。第一印象还可以。她看起来有点像个嬉皮士，但我想，任何一个三十多岁、在世界各地四处游荡、住在别人家里的女人，可能都多少有点反体制。

当我们开车前往轮渡码头时，我的大女儿弗洛（Flo），27, 告诉我她觉得佐伊给她的“感觉很糟糕”。“她没问题，”我没好气地打断，不想考虑另一种可能性。

但在接下来的几个小时里，我的不安感与日俱增。我知道我属于那种需要更多而非更少信息的宠物家长（以及人类家长）。我宁愿被狗狗的照片和详细信息轰炸——比如它们吃了什么，什么时候排便等等，尤其是在头几天。

我最终确实会放松并退后一步，但任何将珍贵之物交给陌生人照顾的人肯定也会这样吧？佐伊确实回复了我的消息，但方式模糊得令人沮丧。“是的，我带它们散步了。你需要信任我。”

我感觉到了一种傲慢。当我向丈夫基思（Keith）表达这种担忧时，他说：“她显然不喜欢权威。别再像个控制狂一样了。”

但到了第二天，情况变得更糟。我等到下午才给佐伊发了一条友好的消息，询问她带狗去了哪里以及狗狗们是否还好。她仅回复道：“我只是在执行你的命令。”此时，我变得越来越焦虑。我决定派一个朋友过去，仅仅是为了确认一切正常。邻居迈克（Mike）认识 Goose 和 Otto，他很乐意帮忙。

是的，对于没有养狗的人来说，这听起来可能有些过分。但对我们来说，它们是家庭中脆弱的成员。我知道有些主人在度假时会盯着 Ring 门铃的监控录像，精确到分钟地计算出入时间，以确保他们的狗得到了足够的运动。我们对此非常执着。而且在这种情况下，我诚实地认为我的担忧是正确的。

当迈克到达时，佐伊打开了门但没有让他进去。他委婉地建议，如果她能每天给我发送狗狗的更新情况，以便我在度假时能安心，那会很好。“好吧，我不会那样做的，”她告诉他，然后关上了门。现在毫无疑问，我面对的是一个公开敌视我的人。在我最糟糕的心理预期中，佐伊已经从古灵精怪的自由灵魂变成了精神病患者。

在最后一次绝望的尝试中，为了让她认同我的想法，我发了一条友好但坚定的消息，恳请她多沟通。她关掉了手机。整整 48 小时。我尝试打电话，但被转接到了语音信箱。我发消息。没有回应。

我无法入睡。我脑子里唯一在想的就是，我的房子里住着一个疯子，正在忽视我的狗狗——或者情况更糟。

我给迈克打电话，恳求他去我们家把佐伊赶走。弗洛的一个朋友好心地说她可以顶替，于是我给佐伊在当地一家酒店订了一晚的房间，并向迈克承诺，如果他能把她赶出去，我就送他一箱葡萄酒。

不出所料，她的反应极其糟糕。“这对我来说真的很不方便，”她大发雷霆。随后她让迈克离开，等她收拾好行李后再回来。

“千万不要离开房子，”我恳求他。此时佐伊已经在抽泣，对我各种辱骂。谢天谢地，狗狗们完全没事。在接下来的两个小时里，迈克设法将佐伊从我们家中请出，并把她送到了酒店。是我选了一个不靠谱的宠物看护？还是她其实是个爱狗之人——只不过是一个只想按自己的意愿行事的人？

无论如何，明年我会提前几个月预订那个允许携带宠物的轮渡船舱。 ■姓名已更改

在观看亚马逊 Prime 的新动作惊悚剧集《生死相随》（Ride Or Die）时，我被汉娜·瓦丁汉姆的发型吸引住了。

在这部剧中，这位迷人的 51 岁《泰德·拉索》女演员饰演一名强悍且凶猛的杀手。在许多场景中，她留着一个俏皮的金色波波头，在一些高能动作戏份中，头发有时会被扎成一个小马尾。

但这并不是她唯一的发型。在其中一个场景中，为了参加在摩纳哥豪宅举办的百万富翁派对，她盛装打扮，造型通过一个戏剧性的“盘发”完全改变：前额是高耸的飞机头，两侧梳得光洁，后脑勺则延伸着一个前卫的莫霍克发片。

有时她显得凌乱，有时则被打理得极其精致。

作者：露易丝·阿特金森 (Louise Atkinson)

显然，汉娜有一支发型师团队在打理她的秀发，但我禁不住惊叹于她那相对较短的剪裁竟然能呈现出如此巨大的多样性。

这种多变性是否是普通女性在无需专业帮助且无需高昂花费的情况下也能追求的目标？

从青少年时期起，我就一直留着自然卷的齐肩发。事实上，在 12 岁时一次灾难性的精灵短发剪裁导致我被反复误认为男孩之后，我花了一辈子的时间试图让头发尽可能长。

但除非你天生拥有浓密的毛囊（或服用大剂量的激素替代疗法），否则中年后的头发不可避免地会失去厚度、飘逸感和丰盈度。对我而言，这种沉闷的萎缩因掩盖灰色发根的精疲力竭的追求而变得更加明显。

使用 Mounjaro 一年后，我那头飘逸的卷发终于敲响了最后的丧钟。

在 8 个月内减轻了两英石（从 13-11 英石下降），尺码从 18 码缩小到 12 码，这让我非常激动，而且我的健康和幸福感得到了巨大的提升。但唯一的缺点（除了每月高昂的支出）就是我的头发。

去年 9 月，在极其恐怖的一个月里，我真的以为自己快要秃了。每次洗发时，大把的头发会掉在我的手里，我的发际线惊人地后移，浴室镜子里映出我粉红色的头皮。

我匆忙前往伦敦的 Philip Kingsley 预约了一位毛发专家的私人诊疗，他宽慰地告诉我，我仅仅是经历了一种被称为

庆祝《Smooth: The Soul Ballads Collection》的永恒魔力，这套全新的 60 首曲目三 CD 套装收录了一些史上最伟大嗓音的经典之作。

CD1 以惠特尼·休斯顿 (Whitney Houston) 及其出色的《Saving All My Love For You》开场，随后是蒂娜·特纳 (Tina Turner)、马文·盖伊 (Marvin Gaye) 和巴里·怀特 (Barry White) 的经典之作，以及传奇团体 Earth, Wind & Fire 和 Commodores。随后由史蒂夫·汪达 (Stevie Wonder)、丹尼斯·威廉姆斯 (Deniece Williams)、比尔·威瑟斯 (Bill Withers) 的《Ain't No Sunshine》以及 Heatwave 的《Always and Forever》延续这种氛围。

CD2 继续这种氛围，由马文·盖伊 (Marvin Gaye) 的《Let's Get It On》开启。随后是 Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes，接着是 The Delfonics、The Stylistics、The Three Degrees，以及 Motown 传奇 Four Tops、Smokey Robinson & The Miracles、Jackson 5、Gladys Knight & The Pips、Jimmy Ruffin、Erma Franklin 和 Dinah Washington 的《Mad About The Boy》。

CD3 以莱昂内尔·里奇 (Lionel Richie) 和戴安娜·罗斯 (Diana Ross) 的《Endless Love》开始，随后是 Smokey Robinson、Kool & The Gang 和 Billy Ocean，以及 Boyz II Men 和 Toni Braxton 等较近期的热门曲目，还有来自 Gabrielle、M People 和 Dina Carroll 的英国灵魂流行金曲。简而言之？这是一个极佳的伟大音乐合集。

休止期脱发（TE），并且每一根脱落的头发都已经由一根细小的新胎毛所取代。

随后的研究表明，服用 GLP1 减肥药物的人群中，休止期脱发极其普遍，影响比例高达 68%。

这令人沮丧且恐惧，但它是暂时性的。

我储备了补充剂以支持新头发的生长，并减少了 Mounjaro 的剂量，最终在 7 月切换到更温和的 Wegovy 药片，因为我想在体内保持少量的 GLP1 以获得所谓的健康益处并维持体重——即使这会损害我的头发。

果然，那些胎毛开始在我的发际线周围长成疯狂的卷发。今年上半年，我不得不努力尝试在幸存的稀疏长发中掩盖那些浓密的卷曲新生发。

随后在 6 月，为了庆祝我的 62 岁生日，我决定最好的选择是将所有头发剪成波波头。

这是一个剧烈的变化，我把自己藏了起来几天。

路易丝的波波头是一个剧烈的变化

夹发片的价格仅相当于一份 Meal Deal 套餐。屡获殊荣的伦敦发型师 Ed James 是 Beauty Works 接发品牌的大使，他认为夹发片非常适合中年女性。

“这是终极的瞬间蜕变，我合作的几乎每一位名人都有几套随手可得的接发，用来改变造型，”他告诉我。“你可以在几分钟内完全改变风格，而无需在每次心血来潮时都预约美发店。这就像是给头发准备了一套衣橱。”

“对于我的许多客户来说，这意味着不必时刻考虑如何维护长发，而是关于乐趣以及尝试不同的造型。”

我迫不及待地想要尝试并提升惊艳感

我自己被说服了，觉得自己看起来像是道布法尔夫人和孤儿安妮的结合体。

由于今年剩余时间计划了一些社交活动——一场盛大的生日派对、一次单身女客周末，以及我儿子在12月的婚礼——我迫不及待地想要开始尝试，

接着，汉娜·瓦丁汉姆出现在温布尔登的皇家包厢中， sporting 她的“意大利波波头”——一种精致的分层造型，刚好齐颌线。

我意识到她的头发长度与我的差不多。也许，仅仅是也许，这种出于无奈而留的中年波波头也可以很百变，甚至偶尔能带来惊喜？

我发现，答案就在夹入式发片中。

市面上有一种极其丰富的马尾、发髻和刘海选择——此外还有大量视频展示它们使用起来多么简单。

而且，它们并不都那么昂贵。为了追求真发的奢华感，你可能需要为每个夹入式发片支付 £50-£150，但也有许多更便宜的合成纤维选项。

我简直挑花了眼：短款翘起马尾；像亚莉安娜·格兰德那样浓密的长马尾；卷曲的“半马尾”夹片，承诺能让我释放内在的詹妮弗·洛佩兹风格；整洁的发髻；凌乱的发髻；甚至还有像在头两侧戴着迷你“角”一样的“迪斯科发髻”。而且每个都不到 £20。事实上，一款极具说服力的夹入式圆髻仅需 £5.69。它们提供从乌黑到全灰的广泛颜色选择。

虽然它们是假的，但这些接发效果惊人地真实。这让我好奇，为什么我这个年纪的人要浪费这么多时间和金钱去养长到足以盘成发髻或扎成马尾的头发，而你明明可以享受碎波波头的便利，并凭借一个——希望如此——提升发型的惊艳感，瞬间获得魅力十足的状态。那么，这到底有多简单……？

我谨慎地从最简单且可能最让人上瘾的选项开始——凌乱发髻大肠圈（来自 Stranded Hair Extensions，hairextensions.co.uk，£15，有 37 种颜色）。这是一个带有头发的橡皮筋，让它看起来就像你把一大把头发堆在头顶一样，操作起来真的不能更简单了。

事实上，我的理发师经常一次戴两个这样的发圈以增加发量。

我用双手将头发拢在头顶，用发圈双重扭转固定住短发簇。在镜中检查后脑勺，它完美复制了我以前头发足够长时依赖的那种随意的“扎发去健身房”造型。在第一个发圈外再绕一个发圈，就能将其扩展到令人印象深刻的蜂巢比例。

在胆量增加后，我尝试了卷曲马尾——一款是 30 英寸的倾泻卷发（亚马逊 FESH-FENDirect 售价 £17.99），另一款是较为保守的 12 英寸版本（同样通过亚马逊，来自 Vegalily Beauty Supply，售价 £16.70）。这些对于朋友的 60 岁迪斯科主题派对来说应该是完美的吧？

首先，我将自己的头发向后扎成一个发带，露出一截可怜的两英寸“鼠尾”。然后我将散乱的部分别好，直接夹上长马尾。我瞬间变了个人……但变成了那种可能会给人算塔罗牌的女人。

我的丈夫乔恩惊呆了

亚马逊 RUWISS-EU 售价 £19

亚马逊 REECHO 售价 £16.95

Mounjaro让我掉发——但一个£5.69的夹发片找回了我的自信

£16.70 Vegalily Beauty Supply, Amazon £17.99 来自 Amazon 上的 FESHFENDirect 卷发马尾 30英寸

（低声嘀咕道：“这是一个以魅力为主题的派对，不是喜剧装扮派对——你是不是还要带个水晶球去？”）并恳求我重新考虑。

没问题。只需简单切换，我解开长马尾，换上短的那款。这款在颜色和质感上如此契合，连我自己都不敢相信这不是我自己的头发。

我觉得自己看起来像20多岁的时候一样，感觉也更年轻了。

在派对上，我冲向舞池，灵感迸发，将我的舞步从中年人的挪步升级为真正的派对蹦迪——当你有一头可以甩动的头发时，真的太有趣了！乔恩似乎对我这个全新的外向版本感到很欣喜。派对上的每个人都坚信那个马尾是我的，直到我喝了几杯普罗塞克起泡酒后，调皮地把它夹了下来。旁观者们惊呆了——就好像我刚刚解开了一条假腿一样。

几周后，我决定为即将到来的儿媳的单身派对准备一次发型增强。这一次，我在头顶搭配了一个乱卷发“发髻顶饰”（来自 Amazon 上的 RUWISS-EU，£19.00）。这是一簇由各种不同金色和“棕金色”组成的卷发，固定在一个网状圆顶上，我用发夹将其固定在我那小小的发芽头顶上。

这简直是我 90 年代去夜店时留的“菠萝头”发型的完美复制品（那时我还有很多自己的头发）。新娘的母亲和我可能比其他单身派对成员大 30 岁，但我戴着我的假“菠萝头”，她夹了一个假马尾，（至少在我们的意识里）我们完全是那个咯咯笑的女孩帮中极具说服力的成员。

同样没有人发现我的伪装，但说实话，就算被发现了我也并不在意。

为了追求更成熟的造型，美发化妆师卡尔·斯坦利向我展示了如何通过一次吹风和抚平，将我天然的卷发驯服成一个整洁、低矮（但非常短）的发髻。 (昂贵的真发夹片可以造型和卷曲，但虽然看起来很真实，我的选择是纯合成纤维，我不相信它们在吹风机附近或离明火太近时不会融化。)

接着，我夹上一个 14 英寸的弹力马尾（来自 Amazon 上的 REECHO，£16.95），瞬间拥有了芭比风——浓密且看起来健康的头发在肩头跳动，真的能让人步履轻盈。

这非常像“在科茨沃尔德共进午餐的女士们”，我非常享受在索霍农场酒店（Soho Farmhouse）喝皮斯科酸酒时，用噘嘴和超大手袋来演绎我内心深处的维多利亚·贝克汉姆。

在卡尔的操纵下，只需两秒钟就能解开马尾并换上一个整洁的圆髻（来自 Happy Life XX，£5.69）。现在，我已经掌握了完美的端庄新郎母亲造型，为 12 月我儿子的婚礼做好了准备。

路易丝热爱尝试各种造型

我意识到，关于戴全头假发或顶饰来遮盖秃块或极度稀疏区域的想法，一直存在某种禁忌，但这些夹发片如此快捷、积极且能肯定生活，你必须大声向人们宣传它们。

我完全支持在中年时期扩展你的发型库，而不是限制它，而且即使我能够（或愿意）保持长发，我也很难实现这些造型。

现在我完全理解为什么汉娜·瓦丁汉姆选择不让头发垂在肩上了。这与那种过时的、带有说教意味的“中年女性不该留长发”的观念毫无关系。

她能够享受健康、易打理的波波头所带来的所有便捷，这个长度足以承受过氧化氢金发染剂的严苛考验，但又足够长，能提供最大的多样性——以及乐趣。

我简直太喜欢我新买的那些便宜又亮眼的假发片了。它们像毛茸茸的宠物一样，整齐地排列在我卧室的抽屉里。每当我准备“盛装出门”时，我就会在这些选项中摸索，根据心情和场合挑选一款。

这就像在挑选一双派对舞鞋或一对华丽的耳环一样。

和汉娜一样，当我想要让自己看起来和感觉起来更特别一点时，我只需拉开那个装满各种夹式假发片的抽屉，夹上一片——然后精心打理即可。

团体度假会毁掉你的友谊——除非你遵守这些金科玉律

如果你正打算在夏天的最后一周与几个密友一起出游，以此充分利用假期，我可以给你一些建议吗？千万别这么做。

尤其是如果还带着他们的家人一起的话。

因为我刚从一次团体度假回来，并且再次发现了团体游绝不可能成功的无数种方式。

主要问题在于被迫妥协。如果你合租一栋房子，你基本上只能吃别人想吃的东西；直到最后一个爱派对的朋友终于上床睡觉，你才能入睡；而且你还得忍受别人的幼儿在哭闹，或者青少年在争吵。

你会花好几个小时等待那些说想参加上午10点远足的人，但他们随后会花极其漫长的时间才收拾好准备上车。

我有好几天一直强忍着怒火，忍到我觉得自己的舌头都要被咬掉了。然而你不能直言不讳，因为那样会导致严重的争吵和压抑的氛围。

最终，我意识到我太自私，无法忍受另一次这样的假期，而我的朋友们也相当自私！

但如果你坚持要这么做，这里有你必须遵守的规则，以安抚你的同行者，并确保在结束行程后依然是朋友。

忘掉家务

我们今年的团体旅行是在西班牙，其中一位母亲认为通过任命自己为“家政主管”是在帮我们所有人。

起初我想，太好了，这样我就不用干杂活了。但现实是，清晨卧室门会被敲响，伴随着一声大喊：“我正准备洗白衣服！”以及同样带有殉道者色彩的“随便吸吸尘”——就在我们其他人还在喝阿尔巴里诺白葡萄酒的每个夜晚。

她会在早餐后清理厨房，然后在上午时分踱来踱去，等待有人使用烤面包机或将一把脏刀扔进水槽。

这一切一点也不让人放松，反而让我想起青少年时期和那个痴迷于规则的母亲一起度假的场景。

不要成为那种客人

大多数被一位极其富有的朋友邀请到其尼斯寓所做客的人，都会觉得自己非常幸运，并表现得最得体、最优雅。但这位朋友并非如此。

她掩饰得并不精巧的嫉妒心演变成了不断的贬低和挖苦。她说我们的主人买的当地桃红葡萄酒不是最好的，烤牛排技术不行，每天搞一次呼吸训练课太无聊。如此如此，没完没了。而我们其他人则感到震惊，尴尬得蜷缩起来，在每一次刻薄的评论中交换惊愕的目光。

糟糕的假期：团体度假可能会迅速变质

我们的主人平静地承受了这一切。直到最后一天。

当我们都在泳池边享受最后一杯咖啡时，她终于开口了：“我希望你们喜欢这次和我们一起的假期，因为我不会再邀请你了。你全家——你那个沉闷的丈夫和你那些不懂感恩的孩子——毁掉了本该美好的时光。我对你感到愤怒。”

当然，这在最后几个小时的打包过程以及回程航班（所有客人都乘坐同一班飞机）中投下了一枚严重的“手榴弹”。如果我当时没那么震惊，我想我会和她击掌庆祝的。

谨慎玩游戏！

私人住宅、派对游戏和晚餐后充足的饮酒，确实可能导致两种截然不同的结果。

在威尔特郡的那个特定夜晚开始得很顺利。我们玩了几轮《侦探》（Cluedo）并且玩得很开心，但随后——在孩子们上床睡觉后——有人拿出了一个

作者：Sally Hewerson

随后她说希望我们第二天全部离开。这很合理。

决定再次挑战同一组人，我们一致同意隐瞒进入代码，并忽略他所有的短信和电话，直到每个人都到齐。

到了早上，我们做了只有胆小（且现在已清醒）的成年人才会做的事：假装什么都没发生过。这件事之后再也没被提起，但那个罪魁祸首被从宾客名单中剔除了。

不过，“预订者获得最好房间”这条规则也有例外。一位在阴雨绵绵的格拉斯米尔（Grasmere）找到度假屋的朋友抢占了唯一一间带卫浴的卧室——尽管同行的一位朋友当时处于怀孕后期。

那些印有问题的卡片盒，旨在测试你究竟有多了解你的朋友。

房间分配礼仪

接下来的整整一周，这两个女人之间充满了被动攻击性的翻白眼，而那位孕妇则坚持每天长时间地使用浴缸（屋里唯一的浴缸）泡澡，纯粹是为了激怒对方。

其中一些问题可能非常刻薄，绝不应该在饮酒时玩……

我很生气地被在场的所有人提名成了“音乐品味最差”的人。但当轮到评选“最虚荣”的人时，一些糟糕的醉酒真话被揭露了出来。

我确实在 Airbnb 租房中目睹过一些令人震惊的贪婪行为。显而易见的规则是：寻找并预订公寓的人应该获得最好的房间。所以，如果你不是预订者，就不要在那个房间里拆行李。

与其引起争吵，不如选择那个平庸的房间。阅读行程单

我不记得全部细节，但我确实有一个糟糕的记忆：一位无畏的朋友对着女主人大喊：“没错，你不该停止打肉毒杆菌的！”

有一位朋友就以这种行为著称，甚至早早出发以便在所有人之前到达。有一年这招彻底失效了，当时预订了我们在圣莫斯（St Mawes）那栋绝美水岸房的人拒绝礼貌地忍受，而是直接站在房间里命令他搬走，场面正如你想象的那样尴尬。

她愤愤地走出去，她的丈夫尽职地跟在后面安抚她，半小时后返回

几年后，当我们

去年夏天，我最老的一位朋友毁掉了我们七个人筹划数周的峰区（Peak District）徒步假期，因为她没有阅读过任何一封关于目的地和行程的电子邮件。

在第一次徒步的约定集合日，她到达时化了全妆，穿着一条（必须承认非常漂亮）的 Joseph 宽腿裤。

当我们其他人穿着丑陋的登山靴时，她穿着芭蕾平底鞋，导致每次步行都增加了整整两个小时。

她没有带其他鞋子，也没有人有合适的备用鞋，于是原定的四天徒步计划变成了系列漫长的酒精浸泡式酒吧午餐，几乎没接触新鲜空气，这我们留在伦敦也能做到。

另一位朋友也一样，她参加了骑行假期，但由于每天抽 20 根烟的习惯，连最小的山丘都无法应对。随着孩子们超过她，以及她为了喘气而不断休息，我们精心规划的行程被放弃了。

经久考验的迷你必备品

凯瑟琳·斯彭利 (Katherine Spenley)

作为一个对 Woolworths 的自助挑选糖果柜（pick-and-mix counter）记忆犹新的女性，我对旅行迷你装毫无抵抗力。我知道买大包装再分装到小瓶子里可能会便宜得多，也更环保，但当所有东西都变成口袋大小的时候，难道不是更有趣吗？

如今，有些迷你装简直好到让人无法拒绝——它们不再仅仅是洗发水、护发素和沐浴露。把它们想象成电影院零食里的软糖——也许不是最理智的选择，但同样美味。以下是我全年都会放入洗漱包——以及手提包——的一些迷你装……

COLOR WOW DREAM COAT（£12.50, boots.com）：我喜欢 Color Wow 的大多数产品，而他们的 Dream Coat 之所以是明星产品是有原因的。在我写作时，地平线上既有灿烂的阳光，又有倾盆大雨——

如果有一种“头发预报”，我们会看到毛躁正从东边席卷而来。但有了这款神奇产品就没事了。把 Dream Coat 想象成你包底的雨伞——你可能并不总是需要它，但以防万一，备一个总是好的。

BATISTE 干洗发喷雾（£1.60, superdrug.com）：一个极具性价比的实惠之选，我在干净的头发上使用它，如果发根塌了，可以用它来增加一点蓬松感。

TATCHA DEWY CREAM（£26, tatcha.co.uk）：这绝对是一种享受。我总是会用完正装每一滴，而对于旅行——或在路上——我实在无法抗拒这款精致的小宝贝。将其涂抹在脸上是一种享受，它能让干渴的皮肤变得饱满水润。我还喜欢他们的 Rice Wash（£19, tatcha.co.uk），有 50ml 装——其从乳液到泡沫的配方非常令人愉悦。

VIEVE SKIN NOVA PRIMER（£15, vievebeauty.com）：我不是唯一喜欢 Vieve 产品的人——这款产品堪称美作。我第一次试用它是在圣诞节外出期间，它让我那在冬季过度纵容的皮肤焕发出极佳的光彩。绝对是全年的明星产品。

随着 9 / 11 袭击事件 25 周年的临近，节目单中充满了新旧纪录片。这部电影于 2021 年首次播出，从当时在场的普通人的视角讲述了双子塔、五角大楼和 93 号航班的故事。它让这些故事自行发声——没有旁白，没有还原场景，几乎没有音乐——随后探讨了这些事件此后对这些人产生的影响。世界希望缅怀死者并“永不忘记”，这很自然，但这种纪念行为对于那些想要继续生活的幸存者来说，又会产生怎样的影响？

电影推荐：《教父 2》，晚上 10.30 点，BBC2 频道

这部电影被广泛认为是有史以来最伟大的黑帮电影之一。惊人的表演（包括奥斯卡奖得主罗伯特·德尼罗）辅以卓越的叙事、震撼的摄影和扣人心弦的悬念。

▲ 特别容易引起反感

北极的璀璨之美让这部冰原惊悚剧如此酷炫

狮子可以用椅子挡住。对着鼻子打一拳可以吓跑鲨鱼。但千万不要尝试用警棍敲击北极熊来将其拒之门外。这只会激怒它。

在《警觉》（Vigil）中，警长亨里克·贝肯（Henrik Becken，由 Jeppe Beck Laursen 饰演）解释道，在斯瓦尔巴群岛的北极群岛上，每位公民在离开定居点冒险时都被要求携带步枪，而不是木棍。

他给到访的警员克斯汀·隆艾克（Kirsten Longacre，由 Rose Leslie 饰演）一支大威力猎枪，并警告道：“保持装弹并扛在肩上，北极熊移动速度很快。”

到目前为止，在这部冰封的动作惊悚剧中，我们看到的唯一掠食者是俄罗斯特种部队。但我愿意用我最后一块冰川薄荷糖打赌，在这部六集剧结束之前，克斯汀和她的上司艾米·席尔瓦（Amy Silva，由 Suranne Jones 饰演）将不得不与成群的饥饿北极熊搏斗。

我们还没有到那个阶段，因为艾米仍然在苏格兰的家中。她不仅是克斯汀的上级，

周末趣闻：在《Wham! 10 Days in China》（BBC2）中，1985年北京音像店里的购物者第一次听到西方流行音乐时的表情真是令人愉悦。“Wake me up before you go-go”？更像是“在我发疯之前快把它关掉！”。

也是她的伴侣：这两个女人共同抚养一个孩子，这确实让她们的工作与生活平衡变得相当复杂。

她们的关系在之前的两季中已经确立，而在首集中再次提醒我们这一点占据了太多篇幅。

对于一个以试图叛逃开篇的故事——中国气候科学家沈嘉（Shen Jia，由 Naomi Yang 饰演）试图逃离斯瓦尔巴，随后发生了枪战、谋杀调查、大学实验室的炸弹袭击、另一起谋杀以及一名政府部长被持枪绑架——这一小时的内容在某些地方仍然显得沉闷且拖沓。

但其核心前提很强大。北约前副司令理查德·希雷夫爵士（Sir Richard Shirreff）本月早些时候在《每日邮报》上警告说，斯瓦尔巴很容易成为第三次世界大战的导火索，而《警觉》的情节可能直接取材于他的预测。

克里斯托弗·史蒂文斯的周末电视推荐

《警觉》（Vigil）（BBC1） ★★★★☆

条约。稀有矿产资源使得这片领土比一个世纪前更具吸引力，尤其是现在海冰融化意味着它可以用作北极海军基地。

如果普京在这里发起军事挑衅，西方将如何反应？这将取决于艾米和基尔斯滕，她们必须查明俄罗斯是否是杀人事件的幕后黑手——或者莫斯科一位英俊上校（托尼克·戈格里恰尼 饰）的否认是否值得信任。

斯瓦尔巴群岛未经破坏的自然景观，拥有明亮的天空和冰封的山脉，具有一种近乎月球般的美感，赋予了这部剧特殊的吸引力。像《真探》和《杀戮》这样的犯罪剧开启了在具有空灵氛围的陌生环境中进行谋杀调查的传统，但新的背景很难找到。

这里也正成为一个热门的旅游目的地。不过，北极熊的数量仍然多于人类。在预订滑雪假期之前，请记住这一点。

与朱迪·登奇品茶 嘉宾：伊恩·麦克莱伦爵士 晚上9点，SKY ARTS 频道

观看演员之间的对话可能非常有趣，因为他们是经过训练的表演者，但当他们同时拥有“国宝级”的分量时，这就完全变成了另一回事。在这里，伊恩·麦克莱伦爵士拜访了朱迪·登奇（如图），首先回顾了让他们首次合作的戏剧——1966年在牛津剧院上演的《承诺》（The Promise），这是一部由三名演员表演的俄罗斯剧作。第三名演员是伊恩·麦克谢恩。两人随后反思了他们职业生涯中交汇的时刻，分享关于剧院的故事，比较奖项，并在她的花园里散步，花园里有一棵名为

加拿大警察《新兵日记》(Rookie Blue)，ITVX

这部来自 2010 年代的加拿大剧集讲述了一组警察新兵首次走上街头执勤的故事，将吸引《菜鸟警探》(The Rookie) 和《蓝色灯光》(Blue Lights) 的粉丝。该剧非常注重角色和团队动态，核心演员阵容（包括米西·佩雷格林和本·巴斯，如图）在完整的六季播出过程中不断成长和变化，与此同时，训练并指导他们的资深警员和

比尔南森林（Birnam Wood）——这是对《麦克白》的引用。登奇和麦克莱伦在 1976 年都参加过一部“以亲密著称”的莎士比亚悲剧舞台剧。那次演出在后台也相当亲密，麦克莱伦记得收到过剧组伙伴送的内衣作为生日礼物，因为他们注意到他的内裤“破洞太多了”。

侦探们则在其中扮演引导者的角色。这种对群像剧的强调使其感觉更像是一部职场剧而非警察程序剧——但这是一个永远不会无聊的职场。

ODD STREAK CHLOE & CO FRED BASSET

白羊座 3月21日 - 4月20日

人们说“骑自行车一样简单”，但我们忘了学习它时有多难。与直觉相反，增加速度和动力反而会让事情变得更容易。同样，倦怠需要休息，但放慢速度可能会让重新开始的感觉变得难以承受。诀窍在于区分强迫自己前进与寻找可持续节奏之间的差异。今天，你星座中的土星与狮子座的木星相连，补充了勇气和纪律的储备。解锁你未来的秘密，发现你一直在寻找的答案——请致电 0905 789 0301*

金牛座 4月21日 - 5月21日

金牛座的人喜欢赋予无生命物体以意义。那些你照顾了很长时间的东西会让你觉得更有价值。一件好的外套，一个用惯了的锅，一段在你们双方经历多次蜕变后依然幸存的友谊。它们的价值在于它们所代表的意义。今天，你可能会倾向于将自己的进步与他人显而易见的速度进行比较。但对于快速抵达一个还没有机会变得重要的事情来说，并没有奖赏。解锁你未来的秘密，发现你一直在寻找的答案——请致电 0905 789 0302*

双子座 5月22日 - 6月22日

通过一个人在无人关注时的行为，你可以很大程度上看出其优先级所在。学习一项技能看起来并不怎么令人印象深刻或光彩夺目，它需要重复和自律。你一直努力坚持做一些有意义的事情，而你的挫败感在今天涌现。你不需要立即看到努力见效的证据。专业知识习惯于不断累积，直到有一天，曾经觉得困难的事情变得自然而然。解锁你的未来秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0303*

巨蟹座 6月23日 - 7月23日

让某人感到安全与替他们做每一个决定之间是有区别的。今天提供了一个审视这一区别的机会，尤其是在家庭事务中。你可能会因为已经预见到后果而倾向于阻止某人犯错。但智慧并不总是意味着清除他人路径上的每一个障碍。爱需要信任他们的学习能力，并给他们留出犯错的空间。解锁你的未来秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0304*

JEMIMA CAINER

世界更多地依赖于那些在幕后做正确事情的人，而非那些占据所有头条新闻的人。那些出现并妥善处理事务的人可能无法获得社交媒体的点赞，但世界确实会奖赏他们。我们的文化崇尚速度，但有些事情之所以能改善，正是因为没有操之过急。耐心的土星今天与慷慨的木星相连，自律与雄心并行。领导者不仅仅是指那些看起来拥有权力的人。今天有利于采取一种友善且一致的方式。

狮子座 7月24日 - 8月23日

为自己感到自豪并非源于对自己完美的盲目信念。真正的自尊源于承认缺陷并面对对能力不足的恐惧。为了达到重要里程碑而所需的努力并非显而易见，但这并不意味着它不重要。自尊建立在与你的价值观一致的行为之上。你不需要为了显得谦虚而让自己变得渺小，也不需要为了显得成功而让自己变得庞大。解锁你的未来秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0305*

处女座 8月24日 - 9月23日

追求完美是一种推迟恐惧的聪明方式。如果我们坚持在真正尝试之前必须把事情做正确，我们就剥夺了自己成长的机会。在某个时间点，准备工作已经尽力而为，下一步则需要勇气将你的项目推向外界。今天，随着木星和土星在火象星座之间相连，一股动力将你推离舒适区。你比自己想象的准备得更充分。解锁你的未来秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0306*

天秤座 9月24日 - 10月23日

人们很容易钦佩那些看起来天生自信的人，但我们很少看到他们在表面的从容背后经历了多少年的练习。一个能优雅处理艰难对话的人，可能经历过更多处理失败的机会。今天，停止要求自己总是做出明智的选择。经验必须通过习得。一次错误并不会使你的判断失效，它为你提供了信息。能力是一项技能，而非天生的特质。解锁你的未来秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0307*

天蝎座 10月 24 - 11月 22

当你不再询问某件事是否安全，而开始询问它是否值得冒险时，一些决定会变得更容易做出。绝对的确定性是不可能的。在投身于某件值得的事业之前，你不需要保证。你只需要足够的证据来信任你的判断，以及足够的信心来接受它可能会出错。你想要的生活需要耐心，但你不能等待恐惧消失。解锁未来的秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0308*

射手座 11月 23 - 12月 21

专业运动员经常练习那些即使在睡眠中也能完成的动作。重复让技能在压力下变得可靠。你可能会因为已经掌握了基础而倾向于继续前进，但今天土星与你的守护星之间的联系表明，精益求精并无坏处——而且它可能会将你提升到新的水平。为了成长，并不总是需要新事物。有时，成长来自于对已有成果的悉心呵护。解锁未来的秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0309*

摩羯座 12月 22 - 1月 20

人们经常低估拒绝某件你能够轻松负担或实现的事情需要多少自律。

自律体现在拒绝某件你能够轻松负担或实现的事情上。克制有时仅仅意味着走过你不需要的东西，在回复前等待，或在愤怒时拒绝做出决定。摩羯座知道，自我控制并不是要否认所有的享受。它是为了确保你的选择属于你自己，而不是被当下所左右。意识到你不必对每一个冲动做出反应，这本身就是一种自由。解锁未来的秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0310*

水瓶座 1月 21 - 2月 19

智慧告诉我们，学习不会因为我们曾经幸存而停止。避免重复错误是明智的，但如果我们认为自己无所不知，就是在剥夺自己获得宝贵经验的机会。识别警告信号与假设每个熟悉的情况都会以同样方式结束是有区别的。自信能使判断更加敏锐，但不应让你的世界变得狭小。信任现在的自己，而不是过去受过伤的自己。解锁未来的秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0311*

双鱼座 2月 20 - 3月 20

走捷径可能很方便，但并不总是感觉良好。可能没有其他人注意到你为了把事情做好而付出的额外努力，但你自己知道。今天，土星与你的传统守护星木星相连，宇宙将焦点放在我们与自身标准之间的私人关系上。当快速修复方案更容易时，你可能会考虑某件事是否值得付出努力。问问自己以后会如何看待这个决定。正确的选择并不总是最轻松的选择。解锁未来的秘密，寻找你一直追寻的答案——请致电 0905 789 0312*

浪子回头与我们的王子们

直击要点

在不冒犯王室或《新约》的前提下，哈里王子返回英国与“浪子回头”的寓言之间似乎可以建立一种启发性的类比。至少，这两个故事都家喻户晓。人们普遍认为，圣经故事中的儿子行为不端。他要求分得父亲的财产，显然违背了第五诫（孝敬父母）。他挥霍金钱的行为同样令人不齿。

哈里现在肯定会对他在《备胎》（Spare）中发表的一些言论感到后悔，并会对接受奥普拉·温弗瑞电视采访的明智程度产生质疑。

圣经故事中父亲的角色令人瞩目。他的宽容态度似乎近乎夸张，在儿子回来时奔向迎接他。

■ 我敢打赌，服装店 H&M 对所有这些免费宣传感到很高兴。 林迪·莱文顿（LYNDIE LEVENTON），汉普郡，沃尔弗顿

■ 萨塞克斯夫妇有“认错道歉”（humble pie）的秘诀吗？

■ 国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷（Wes Streeting）异常安静。 布莱恩·贝斯特（BRIAN BEST），白金汉郡，哈兹尔米尔

通过人民的诚实选择而任命。

查尔斯国王在回应哈里的示好时似乎没有那么热情，但显然同样具有宽容心。

■ 这个国家有多少俄罗斯人居住？ 罗德·威廉姆斯（ROD WILLIAMS），埃塞克斯郡，大霍兰德

■ 我是在做梦，还是真的看到首相的头发在动？ 比利·贝尔（BILLY BELL），唐郡，班戈

■ 你为英国做得越多，它为你做的就越少。 巴里·瓦茨（BARRY WATTS），东萨塞克斯郡，伊斯特本

我们需要确保合同经过正规招标，采购管理诚实公正，住房分配公平合理。腐败的选举会导致腐败的行政机构。

长兄的态度当然是故事的高潮。他确实有理由愤怒，但正如圣经学者埃里克·富兰克林（Eric Franklin）所指出的：“他面临着一个根本性的挑战。如果他参加（晚餐），对他而言的学习体验将几乎与弟弟一样深刻。”

这在很大程度上就是威廉王子面临的情况。经文确实一如既往地具有现实意义。

S. T. 沃恩（S. T. VAUGHAN），伯明翰

安德鲁·麦克拉斯基牧师（Rev ANDREW McLUSKEY），米德尔塞克斯郡，阿什福德

失控

和许多人一样，我也通过 GoFundMe 向在 A66 公路遇害的两名警员的家属捐款。

除了这一支持举措外，我们这个国家中守法且普通的大多数人，需要就那些在我们的城镇和村庄造成如此混乱的野蛮青年发声。

我们需要谴责糟糕或缺失的教养，以及法院给予的软弱或缺失的惩罚。警察一次又一次地处理同样的青年，理所当然地对此感到厌倦。我们也一样。 J. M. 海恩斯（J. M. HAINES），剑桥郡，斯帕尔德威克

亚洲制造

布莱恩·查普曼（BRIAN CHAPMAN，读者来信）询问是否有什么东西不是中国制造的。答案是：有。

我今天在马莎百货（Marks & Spencer）找夹克。前两件是中国制造的，所以我继续看。剩下的都是孟加拉国、柬埔寨或越南制造的。

我就用现有的凑合吧。 罗杰·沃尔什（ROGER WALSH），默西赛德郡，海镇

萨塞克斯的前景

梅根试图重启演艺事业的关键环节缺失了：她不会演戏。

她并不是电视法律剧《金装律师》（Suits）的主演。她扮演了

这并非“觉醒文化”，但我们依然热爱潘奇与朱迪剧

木偶经典：兰迪德诺的潘奇先生与妻子朱迪

我最近在兰迪德诺观看了一场英国历史最悠久的家族经营潘奇与朱迪剧（成立于 1860 年）。演出太精彩了。观看的成年人和孩子一样热爱它。这是一场传统表演，潘奇在剧中殴打每个人，还将婴儿扔下楼梯。但请不要误会，孩子们能分辨是非，并告诉警察潘奇做了什么、他在哪里等等。如果孩子们从未接触到生活中那些不那么美好的一面，他们将来如何准备应对？每个人都玩得很开心，并确保潘奇没有逃脱惩罚（噢，不，他没逃掉！）。请不要干扰这最后一件传统儿童娱乐遗迹。我希望兰迪德诺的科德曼家族能继续为我们带来这种正宗且非常幽默的潘奇与朱迪剧，就像他们五代人以来一直做的那样。

（接前文）……第二男主角时断时续的女友，完全没有屏幕存在感。也许她应该专注于做果酱的工作。

利安·莫里斯（LEANNE MORRIS）， 地址已提供

如果哈里和梅根在舒适的科茨沃尔德感到无聊或资金短缺，他们可以开一家名为“H&Ms”或“公爵”的茶馆。每天都会挤满人——并能帮他们把所有那些 As Ever 果酱在发霉前全部卖掉。

约翰·鲁瑟福德（JOHN RUTHERFORD）， 肯特郡，塞文奥克斯

梅根是否意识到她将与世界上最顶尖的果酱制造商竞争，而后者顺便说一句，还持有皇家认证？我指的是埃塞克斯郡蒂普特里的 Wilkin & Sons 公司。

《每日邮报》的克劳迪娅·康奈尔是否在病态地痴迷于她的体重？

她减轻的体重——起初在 Mounjaro 的帮助下，随后通过自己的意志力和自律——令人钦佩。但她现在体重大约 9 stone，然而她仍然在文中毫不掩饰地表达在度假期间减轻了 1 磅的快感。

读者问答

问题：演员查尔斯·丹斯（Charles Dance）的父亲出生于 152 年前的 1874 年，并参加了第二次布尔战争。是否还有其他名人的祖辈也有类似的“跨度”？

还有几位名人的子女同样拥有如此深远的过去，因为他们的父亲在晚年才生育孩子。

查理·卓别林（Charlie Chaplin）最小的儿子克里斯托弗·卓别林（Christopher Chaplin）出生于 1962 年，当时这位默片巨星已 73 岁。由于卓别林出生于 1889 年，克里斯托弗与查尔斯·丹斯一样，其父亲均出生在维多利亚女王统治时期。

西班牙演艺明星胡利奥·伊格莱西亚斯（Julio Iglesias，出生于 1943 年）有一个年幼的同父异母妹妹露丝·伊格莱西亚斯（Ruth Iglesias），她的故事更为惊人。露丝出生于 2006 年，父亲是胡利奥·伊格莱西亚斯之父（老胡利奥·伊格莱西亚斯），后者出生于 1915 年，且在露丝出生时，他实际上已经去世，享年 90 岁。

同样出生于 1915 年的奥斯卡获奖演员安东尼·昆恩（Anthony Quinn）在 1996 年 81 岁时最后一次成为父亲，生下了赖安（Ryan）。一级方程式赛车巨头伯尼·埃克莱斯通（Bernie Ecclestone）也在晚年再次为人父，其儿子艾斯（Ace）于 2020 年出生，当时埃克莱斯通 89 岁。埃克莱斯通的长女德博拉（Deborah）出生于 1955 年，比她的同父异母弟弟大 65 岁。

问题：未记录的犯罪率是如何计算的？

相关数据是通过诸如《英格兰和威尔士犯罪调查》等调查计算得出的。该调查发现，只有四成犯罪行为被报告给警方。参与者会被询问在过去 12 个月内的犯罪经历。在 2025-26 年度，共有 75,000 户家庭接受了询问，按照惯例，其中四分之三的人会做出回应。此外还有《苏格兰犯罪与司法调查》以及《北爱尔兰安全社区调查》。

许多所谓的轻微罪行并未向警方报告，因此国家统计局表示，调查是衡量暴力、盗窃、欺诈、计算机滥用和刑事损坏等犯罪水平及其长期趋势的良好指标。

问题：世界上最大的动物园在哪里？

美国阿什伯罗的北卡罗来纳动物园被广泛认为是最大的自然栖息地动物园，这意味着其围栏与所饲养动物的自然环境非常相似。该动物园占地约 2,600 英亩，拥有 250 多个物种的 1,700 多只动物，并设有约 5 英里的步行道。

惠普斯内德（Whipsnade）是英国最大的动物园。其占地 600 英亩，规模不足前者的四分之一，但饲养了 10,000 多只动物。

伯纳姆，不要为了税收而针对老年人

在某些左倾经济学家看来，年轻工人被课税过多，而富有的退休人员则坐享其成并幸灾乐祸，这是一个根深蒂固的委屈。

工党最青睐的智库之一——公共政策研究学院（IPPR）刚刚发布了一篇论文，认为税收制度“向拥有大量累积财富的英国年长者的利益倾斜，而背离了年轻的收入者”。

作者补充道，满足国家日益增长的财政需求的“责任平衡”必须发生转移。

这种将“老年”与“富有”混为一谈的做法是一个基本的逻辑谬误。仅仅因为大多数富人年纪大，并不意味着大多数老年人都富有。

近 200 万退休人员处于贫困状态——大约每六人中就有一人。其中许多是女性，且处于丧偶或离婚状态。

然而，关于老年吝啬鬼的年龄歧视刻板印象，在罗马剧作家普劳图斯以及莫里哀和

露丝·桑德兰 (Ruth Sunderland)

狄更斯的影响力在左翼的经济思维中显然依然强大。一个从未被明确阐述但潜藏在表象之下的虚假假设是：年长者比年轻人生活得更好在某种程度上是不公平的。

而现实被忽略了——大多数年长者所拥有的任何财富，都是通过多年的工作和投资积累而来的，且这些财富此前已经缴纳了充足的税款。IPPR（进步政策研究研究所）的观点之一是修改相关规定，目前年长雇员在达到退休年龄后无需缴纳国民保险贡献金（NIC）。该智库举了一个养老金领取者与一名毕业生的案例，在收入水平为 1 和 25 的情况下，前者分别支付 20% 和 40% 的边际税率，而一名偿还学生贷款的年轻人则可能面临 37% 和 51% 的税率。

它提出了仅对收入相对较高的养老金领取者征收 NIC 的想法，这看起来似乎并不那么不合理。

但如果将退休年龄人群纳入征税范围的原则被确立，它可能会成为一个“特洛伊木马”，增加随着时间推移有更多高龄劳动者被卷入其中的风险。

在过去几年中，保守党和工党政府都毫不留情地利用这种“财政拖累”（fiscal drag）来榨取纳税人。

如果这种情况发生，将会非常残酷。在仍在工作的 175 万名 65 岁以上人群中，月收入中位数仅为 1，低于除 18 岁以下人群之外的所有其他年龄组。

我们不知道其中有多少人是想留在岗位上工作，又有多少人是因为经济困难而被迫工作。根据慈善机构 Age UK 的说法，左翼声称要捍卫的女性、部分少数族裔和体力劳动者，更有可能处于“被迫工作”的类别中。

他们仅仅因为年龄较大，就在如何享受一个扭曲的税收制度所带来的果实？

而且，说老年人必须缴纳更多税款，因为他们没有承担对年轻人的财务责任，这简直是侮辱：看看“父母银行”数以十亿计的集体慷慨之举就知道了。

工党已经通过修改遗产税，在破坏这种天然的冲动。

其他针对老年人的建议还包括提高资本利得税率和房产征税。

IPPR 的观点是正确的，人口老龄化将给公共财政带来巨大压力。

然而，断言年轻劳动者承受着不合理的负担，而富有的老年人受到“保护”，这并不是解决方案：这纯粹是在散布具有分裂性和令人不快之偏见。

厨师凯里奇：降低餐饮业增值税至关重要

在临时救济措施即将结束之际发出恳求

一名名厨敦促安迪·伯纳姆为餐饮业提供永久性的增值税（VAT）减免。

汤姆·凯里奇（Tom Kerridge）向首相发出的恳求，正值该行业部分领域的临时税收优惠将于明天结束之际。

餐厅儿童餐以及家庭景点门票的增值税从 20% 降至 5% 的短期减税措施即将结束。

这项从 6 月 25 日持续到 9 月 1 日的税收优惠，是在政府表示希望“帮助家庭享受周末款待、郊游和日游，充分利用夏季”之后推出的。

凯里奇在为《每日邮报》和 This is Money 撰文时表示，工党“现在已经意识到，增值税是通过夏季增值税计划来增加客流量、支持家庭并支持餐饮企业的杠杆”。但这位厨师补充说，尽管这是一个“重要的认可”，但该计划“时间有限且范围狭窄”。

凯里奇表示，“下一步

作者：艾米莉·霍金斯 (Emily Hawkins)

逻辑步骤是为整个餐饮业提供较低的税率”。

这位在《周六厨房》（Saturday Kitchen）和《英国美食大奖赛》（Great British Menu）等烹饪电视节目中经常露面的厨师，一直致力于将增值税从 20% 降低到 10%，以与欧洲的税率保持一致。

酒吧、酒店和餐厅需要“喘息空间来存。

“一项对企业的投资”

他在文章中表示，在食品、能源和雇佣成本上涨，且商业税率成为另一个“令人头疼”的问题之后，企业需要“生存空间、投资并增长”。

他指责政府使得“在英国经营餐饮酒店业比在竞争对手欧洲国家更困难”。爱尔兰在7月将餐饮酒店业的增值税（VAT）税率从 13.5% 降低至 9%，而法国、意大利和西班牙的税率则为 10%。凯里奇认为，要求减税并非“餐饮酒店业想要特殊照顾”，而是“关乎生存”。

他的言论发表在本周 Asda 主席艾伦·莱顿（Allan Leighton）和 Frasers Group 大亨迈克·阿什利（Mike Ashley）介入之后，后者告诉政府，企业需要从沉重的税收中获得喘息之机。

凯里奇是 2024 年大选前支持工党的 120 位企业老板之一，他当时表示该党已经改变。他写道：“降低增值税并非施舍。这是一项对雇佣数百万人并为我国经济创造数十亿收益的企业所进行的投资。”

他表示，当一家酒吧或餐厅关闭时，“你失去的不单纯是一家企业”——社区失去了就业机会、客流量以及一个重要的社交连接场所。凯里奇认为，在青年失业率达到令人担忧的水平并被宣布为国家危机之际，该行业还经常为年轻人提供他们的第一份工作。

太疯狂了！Z世代在音乐节选择水果而非快餐

注重健康的Z世代音乐节参与者正放弃热狗和啤酒，转而选择新鲜水果和维生素果汁。

这一趋势由 Co-op 超市报道，该超市今年夏天在各大音乐活动中开设了临时店铺。

根据该超市从 Download 音乐节、怀特岛音乐节（Isle of Wight Festival）和 Latitude 音乐节等活动中收集的数据，葡萄的销量比去年增长了 38%，水果杯的销量增长了 11%。Co-op 已将本周末 Reading 和 Leeds 音乐节（图中 Charli XCX 曾在此演出）以及 Creamfields 音乐节的维生素水库存增加了 150%。

该超市的音乐节合作伙伴经理乔治娜·科利（Georgina Coley）表示：“很明显，人们不想把健康习惯留在家里。”

由 JEFF POWELL MBE 拳击特派记者

拳击特派记者

在关于摩西被杀案的调查中，最令人震惊的证词来自克罗地亚的国家英雄。对于周六晚上在 O2 体育馆的比赛来说，他才是真正的主角；那场比赛对英国拳击界而言是阴暗的，但场面却极其耀眼。

菲利普·赫尔戈维奇在谈到我们的年轻人伊陶马时说：“不，我没有感受到他的力量。”

对于这个此前被誉为下一个迈克·泰森的小伙子来说，这句话带来的打击将如同詹姆斯·邦德被告知他不再对女性有吸引力一样毁灭性。

这比那些将他从统治地位击至踉跄、最终导致失败并被送往医院的重拳更令他心痛。而在那个夜晚，他本应成为历史上第二年轻的世界重量级冠军。

自从伊陶马开始像砍小树一样击倒巨人们以来，“力量”一直是他标志性的代名词。突然之间，在 21, 岁时，他被比作参孙——那个在理发后失去了神话般力量的人。

下一个迈克·泰森？摩西像业余选手一样把自己打垮了

在这次IBF世界冠军赛的前八个回合中，赫尔戈维奇顶住了无数次重击——每一拳看起来都能把一匹马击倒——他能生存下来，其中是否隐藏着某些线索？

如果这样暗示，就淡化了赫尔戈维奇凭借超人的意志和惊人的抗击打能力，在34岁时及时实现了自己对全球荣耀的终身追求。

尽管如此，伊陶马未能将其击败。这使得其他因素开始发挥作用。同样令人担忧的是，

这位英国年轻的雄狮在职业生涯中第一次被要求进行六回合以上的比赛时，竟然体力耗尽。

教练本·戴维森正面临质询：是否是因为预设对方会被再次快速KO，导致摩西在耐力储备上不足？或者他单纯是因为出拳过多而把自己打累了？

无论原因如何，看到一个如此年轻的人在第九回合就精疲力竭、踉跄着走向毁灭，实在令人担忧。

当然，赫尔戈维奇用语言表达了我们许多人的感受。他认为对方在很大程度上败给了经验。这位曾誓言要“砸烂这孩子的脸并把他送回高中”的新冠军在完成目标后这样说道：“他拥有巨大的天赋，但他的拳击方式像个业余选手，必须学会像职业选手那样战斗。”

“如果经验更丰富，他会知道自己每一回合都在领先，他应该做的是依靠刺拳将比赛拖入点数判定。而不是一直试图把我击倒。虽然我知道比赛时间越长，他就会越累。”但他的出拳没有力量吗？关于在第二回合被击倒一次，赫尔戈维奇说：“我没感觉到。”

“他速度非常快，用一记我没看到的拳头打乱了我的重心。”

早在第五回合，伊陶马就开始对身体承受的压力以及他自己遭受的重击露出痛苦的表情。在第八回合，他发起了一次绝望的猛攻，赫尔戈维奇不仅顶住了压力，还反击造成了伤害。

那么，这位被寄予厚望、旨在登顶的落败年轻人接下来该怎么办？赫尔戈维奇的建议是：“参加几场较简单的比赛以获得更多经验并重建信心。我认为凭借他的手速，有一天他会成为世界冠军。”

值得肯定的是，伊陶马在第九回合开始时还试探性地出击了几拳，但看起来更像一条脱水的鱼在挣扎。赫尔戈维奇用他所谓的“来自耶稣基督的力量”将其击穿。

推广人弗兰克·沃伦表示同情：“第一次失败确实会夺走那种不可战胜的光环，我们会给摩西足够的时间来从中恢复。他仍然是一个非常特殊的天才。”

与此同时，重量级拳击赛继续进行。沃伦宣布，10月17日在O2体育馆将举行一场令人期待的WBO世界冠军赛重赛，即冠军丹尼尔·杜博伊斯与法比奥·沃德利之间雷霆万钧的“英国之战”。

赫尔戈维奇将面对古巴强制挑战者弗兰克·桑切斯进行首次卫冕，并在表达野心时说道：“我想继续参加一场对阵丹尼尔的统一战。”

伊陶马在排在队列末尾重新加入战局之前，还需要一段时间。

他昨天上午出院回家，开始从这次惨败以及在踉跄撞向绳圈时受到的腿伤中恢复。

心理创伤的愈合将需要更长的时间。虽然并非不可能。穆罕默德·阿里、乔治·福尔曼和伦诺克斯·刘易斯——仅举几例——都经历过不止一次失败，但最终重新成为了冠军。

但摩西·伊陶马是下一个迈克·泰森吗？即便赫尔戈维奇正回到萨格勒布接受英雄般的欢迎，但有一件事我们很清楚：如果原版的“铁拳”迈克中了周六晚上他所承受的其中任何一拳，他都会被击倒。

Second Innings

劳伦斯·布斯 (LAWRENCE BOOTH)

洛德板球场特派记者

虽然花了 630 天，但英格兰队终于在第二场测试赛第四天的下午 5.45pm 后不久庆祝了系列赛的胜利。当时乔什·汤格 (Josh Tongue) 诱使穆罕默德·阿里 (Mohammad Ali) 击出厚边球，哈里·布鲁克 (Harry Brook) 在第二滑垒处迅速接球得分。

如果说庆祝活动显得低调，并不单纯是因为英格兰队可能已经忘记了如何庆祝。巴基斯坦队的抵抗力就像一张浸水的餐巾纸一样弱，而未来的挑战依然艰巨。只有在埃德巴斯顿 (Edgbaston) 实现 3-0 的完胜才足够，届时，一次充满考验的南非冬季之旅将近在眼前。

但在阴森的天空下，在已成为英格兰板球最不可预测的场地上面对先攻，最终以 194 分的优势获胜，对于一支在比赛开始时还需应对更多关于饮酒质疑的球队来说，这是一次出色的完成。他们既冷酷又专业，而这种情况在过去一年中并不常见。

在追求 389, 分的过程中，巴基斯坦队以 194 分被淘汰——这是他们的第四次

英格兰球员评分 作者：劳伦斯·布斯 (LAWRENCE BOOTH)

阿巴斯在早晨的前 40 分钟内完成了 57 跑 5 wicket 的成绩，结束了在勋爵板球场连续三场比赛每场拿 4 个 wicket 的记录。

由于开局击球手伊玛目-乌尔-哈克 (Imam-ul-Haq) 因小腿拉伤仍无法击球，清理尾盘并让巴基斯坦队在 11 场客场比赛中遭遇第 10 次失败的任务落在了汤格 (Tongue) 肩上。只有被降为第二轮换的阿特金森 (Atkinson) 未能取得 wicket。

对这四名快球手的兴奋之情必须被两个因素所克制：球场提供了极大的助力，而巴基斯坦队的击球表现（除沙基尔外）则十分糟糕。

但人们往往倾向于在英格兰队挣扎时猛烈抨击，而在他们成功时则通过贬低对手来解释。

前两场测试赛的证据表明，乔·鲁特 (Joe Root) 的四叉缝线攻击正专业地利用有利条件，对阵一支几乎没有反抗能力的球队。

英格兰队表现出色，巴基斯坦队表现糟糕。两件事可以同时成立。而且有一个事实是不容否认的：在经历了所有插曲之后，英格兰再次拥有一支能赢球的测试赛球队。

本·达克特 (BEN DUCKETT)

再次被阿巴斯通过腿前截击 (lbw) 击出，随后轻巧地击球至中前卫 (mid-off) 被接住。略低于 39 的平均分处于三年半以来的最低点。

埃米利奥·盖伊 (EMILIO GAY)

在第一局中被腿侧球击出，在第二个晚上奋力拼搏，但被一个滚球击败。评价尚无定论。

乔丹·考克斯 (JORDAN COX)

第一天耐心的半个世纪成绩确认了一个观点：当雅各布·贝塞尔 (Jacob Bethell) 回归时，他必须保留位置。他是第三滑垒位置上的资产。

乔·鲁特 (JOE ROOT)

地位有所提升，但无法避免被腿前截击 (lbw) 击出。在他最近的 12 次测试赛击球中，已有 9 次是以这种方式出局。

哈里·布鲁克 (HARRY BROOK)

尽力克服场地条件，但当守门员移至三柱门前时，他看起来仍然受限。

丹·劳伦斯 (DAN LAWRENCE)

在第三天阵雨之间取得的半个世纪成绩没有损害他的长期前景。第一天的跑出局则显得不够聪明。

杰米·史密斯 (JAMIE SMITH)

在第一天帮助英格兰队脱离困境，接球表现良好，但在第三天试图加快节奏时失去了 wicket。

古斯·阿特金森 (GUS ATKINSON)

不应在没有 wicket 的情况下结束，同时他通过 45 跑的良好击球为英格兰队提供了赢得比赛的缓冲。

奥利·罗宾逊 (OLLIE ROBINSON)

有时让人无法应对。就其类型而言，在状态最好的日子里，他是世界上最顶尖的球员之一。

乔弗拉·阿彻 (JOFRA ARCHER)

球速快如他在 2019 年鼎盛时期，如果在另一场比赛中，他可能会将本场 5 个 wicket 的收获翻倍。

乔什·汤格 (JOSH TONGUE)

在第一局中出色地压制了巴巴尔 (Babar)，在第二局中被用作“攻城锤”通过弹跳球将沙基尔 (Shakeel) 击出。他还贡献了 42 跑。

体育内幕

作者：迈克·基根 (MIKE KEEGAN)

因欧足联升级法律战，因凡蒂诺的飞机被禁飞

吉安尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）巨大的碳足迹在周末神秘地暂时停止了。

上周，《内部体育》（Inside Sport）揭露了这位国际足联主席在世界杯出售丑闻爆发后，为了保住职位而以惊人的速度累积飞行里程的情况。

因凡蒂诺（右）原定于周五晚上在纽约郊外的汉普顿参加一项米尔肯研究所（Milken Institute）的活动，与美国参议员和华尔街亿万富翁们社交。

但在他取消在该私人聚会上发言的计划后，他那架由卡塔尔出资的私人飞机一直停留在多哈的停机坪上，他在那里有一处房产。

就在前一天，欧足联（UEFA）向美国多个州提交了法院文件，寻求获取其认为可以支持在瑞士对因凡蒂诺未能成功出售世界杯股份的计划进行刑事管理不善起诉的文件。

神秘的情况也围绕着该飞机本周早些时候的动向。周二，该飞机从因凡蒂诺参加电子竞技世界杯的巴黎飞往马略卡岛，停留了几个小时，然后飞往比萨停留了大约七个小时，最后将他送往河内参加东盟杯决赛。

虽然《内部体育》不想做出任何假设，但值得注意的是，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普女婿的兄弟乔什·库什纳（Josh Kushner）曾前往越南首都度假，且他通过其 Thrive Capital 风险投资公司与该丑闻有着密切联系。

卡塔尔似乎在走钢丝，一方面支持因凡蒂诺，另一方面试图讨好国际奥委会以争取举办 2036 年奥运会。大多数奥运世界的人员不会反对在比赛中引入私募股权，因为与其他国际足联不同，其他国际单项体育联合会需要资金。然而，在整个奥运运动界，人们对他引入该计划时缺乏透明度和治理能力表示不满。

在昨天的英超联赛比赛中，人们向在米德尔斯堡附近遇害的两名警员表达了悼念。

在利兹对阵布伦特福德的比赛中，比赛官员们佩戴了黑色臂章，其中裁判托尼·哈林顿是马修·布莱兹警员的朋友。布莱兹警员与汤姆·克劳警员在他们的车辆被一辆在双车道上逆行的汽车撞击时不幸遇难。布莱兹警员的两个孩子在曼联对阵伊普斯维奇的比赛中担任吉祥物。布莱兹警员曾是曼联的忠实球迷。此外，曼联还揭幕了一个平台，以纪念于 2024 年去世的俱乐部残疾支持者协会前秘书查斯·班克斯 MBE。

人们对英格兰男子板球队备受欢迎的通讯主管丹尼·鲁本在任职 10 年后离职感到惊讶。Inside Sport 此前曾报道，这位约克郡人受到澳大利亚队的青睐。在下一届灰烬杯（Ashes）之前，他是一个值得关注的人物。

上周，欧洲足球界的名流们聚集在摩纳哥参加欧冠抽签仪式，但该公国的许多目光却在关注其他地方。好莱坞大咖布拉德利·库珀和玛格特·罗比正在城中拍摄《十一罗汉》前传的场景。故事的一部分以 1962 年的大奖赛为背景，随着复刻版古董车的到来，著名的赛道被还原到了那个时代。

传统的抽签后派对通常包括开启蒙特卡洛体育中心的顶棚，以便来自欧洲精英阶层的宾客能够欣赏一场不计成本的光影秀。然而今年，顶棚保持关闭状态，两名打扮成人类迪斯科球的空中飞人成为了欧足联活动的首席娱乐项目。鉴于目前人们对国际足联（FIFA）痴迷金钱的强烈不满，一些人猜测其欧洲竞争对手是否是故意降低了排场。

埃弗顿球迷赢得留住阿姆斯特朗之战，但老板面临重大质疑

当弗里德金集团（Friedkin Group）在2024年12月接手埃弗顿时，他们如果走进古迪逊公园球场附近的任何一家酒吧，或者他们那座豪华的新滨海体育场，可能会看到成千上万的人排队想请他们喝一杯。

而现在，这些美国人可能会听到一连串的辱骂。不过，负责人丹（Dan）不必为此担心——在买下俱乐部近两年后，他依然没有在任何一场比赛附近出现过。

这本身就表明了一个脱离现实的所有者团体，而这一点在本周末球迷起义期间被进一步证实。

埃弗顿内部几周以来一直酝酿着一场内战，但周六上午情况急剧升级，当时有报道称俱乐部计划通过出售19岁的本土中场哈里森·阿姆斯特朗（Harrison Armstrong）来套现。

次日，俱乐部同意出售伊利曼·恩迪亚耶（Iliman Ndiaye），他是埃弗顿最优秀的球员之一。

关键不在于拟议中阿姆斯特朗离队的具体细节，而在于原则问题。

他不可能突然凭一己之力带领俱乐部进入欧冠，他也不是青训产品韦恩·鲁尼（Wayne Rooney）的接班人。从表面上看，传闻中£4000 万的转会费对于一名仅有24场一线队出场记录且零进球的球员来说，可能是笔不错的生意。

但他是一个长期低迷的青训学院在一段时间以来培养出的最佳天才。由于前任所有者将俱乐部推入财务困境，导致青训学院倒退了数年，这意味着他们不得不出售最优秀的年轻人，且无法在发展梯队中进行适当投资。

他代表了青训学院里每个孩子的榜样，是球队中具有Scouse特质的核心，实现了大多数球迷为童年俱乐部效力的梦想。

那些在雨中远赴伯恩茅斯的支持者们，在1-1平局之前、期间和之后，通过歌唱如果俱乐部出售阿姆斯特朗他们将发起暴动来表达诉求。球迷的力量最终获胜，俱乐部取消了这次转会。

《每日邮报》体育版获悉，董事会对这一决定达成了一致，此前他们考虑了来自诺丁汉森林队的报价。昨天上午，俱乐部已致电这家中西部俱乐部，告知他们阿姆斯特朗将留队。因此，弗里德金集团（TFG）可能希望这件事就此结束。但事情并非如此简单。信任是一种珍贵的商品，需要大量时间来建立，但只需几秒钟就会被侵蚀。

如果转会窗口的最后几天能如埃弗顿球迷所愿，他们或许会原谅所有者这次令人尴尬的插曲。但他们不会忘记。

尽管他绝不会公开承认，但如果主教练大卫·莫耶斯（David Moyes）感到恼火，很少有人会责怪他。对于这位苏格兰人来说，这似乎是一个令人沮丧月份的最低点。

本赛季他在新闻发布会上显得垂头丧气，肢体语言专家可能会将其描述为在闹情绪。一些球迷察觉到了这一点，并对他上周关于杯赛重要性的言论感到不满。

但过去几天，支持者们开始理解他为什么看起来如此暴躁。显然，主教练与管理层之间存在分歧。这一切始于

核心球员：恩迪亚耶即将离队 GETTY

首席执行官安格斯·金尼尔（Angus Kinnear）在接受BBC默西塞德电台采访时表示，上赛季是次“失败”，因为埃弗顿虽一度接近重返欧洲赛场，但最终未能实现。

如果董事会在转会窗口给予了埃弗顿支持，那么在比如两年后发表这样的评论可能是公正的。但就目前情况而言，本夏天已有14家顶级联赛俱乐部花费了更多资金。

在窗口的最后几天有许多变数，但俱乐部最优秀的球员之一恩迪亚耶现在看来很可能离队。

他们需要一名右后卫已经超过一年，但直到今年夏天的最后几天才达成一项协议，以940 万英镑m从富勒姆签下30岁的肯尼·特特（Kenny Tete）。

恩迪亚耶极具天赋，以 6000 万英镑m 的价格，托特纳姆热刺很可能捡到了便宜。莫耶斯看重那些能够控球并减轻队友压力的球员，而他无疑将失去其中之一。29, 岁的里沙利森将以 3500 万英镑m 的价格反向加盟。

球队老板们可以理直气壮地声称，恩迪亚耶拒绝了续约邀请，因此在某个时间点将其套现是一个明智的——或许也是不可避免的——策略。

但如果恩迪亚耶是争取加盟像皇家马德里、曼彻斯特城或阿森纳这样的球队，且俱乐部在一个月前就收到了一笔令人瞠目结舌的巨额资金，从而有充足的时间招募合适的替代者，那么这件事在球迷心中会更容易被接受。

但在转会窗关闭前几天才这么做？支持者们和莫耶斯有理由质疑其老板们的雄心。

这个夏天本应致力于加强进攻，而不是放走他们最好的进攻手。前锋蒂尔诺·巴里在赛季初表现出色，三场比赛打入四个进球，但这个年轻人还不够稳定，而一名真正的 No 9 球员将是对上赛季的巨大升级。

在 3 月 20, 日击败切尔西后，埃弗顿距离欧冠资格区仅差 3 分，但随后没有再赢过一场比赛，排名随之下滑。当时的感觉是，如果能多引进几名球员，他们就能迈出下一步，成为“六强”的搅局者。

但显然董事会有其他想法，或许他们是被阵容成本比所迫。

如果主教练在这个夏天能随心所欲，他可能已经签下了来自摩纳哥的前锋福拉林·巴洛贡，或者来自诺丁汉森林的后卫奥拉·艾纳，以及斯特拉斯堡的盖拉·杜埃。

不过，这个转会窗并非完全是一场灾难。从米德尔斯堡签下海登·哈克尼是一次精明的交易，而莫耶斯也喜欢布伦南·约翰逊，后者可以在前场三个位置上轮换。从切尔西租借并转为永久加盟的泰里克·乔治在今年夏天给人留下了深刻印象。

去年的租借球员杰克·格拉利什和里沙利森看起来准备回归俱乐部。

绝无可能：出售阿姆斯特朗并未受到认可

格拉利什再次租借。这两人都将是极佳的签约——尤其是如果恩迪亚耶没有被放走的话——并且都是球迷宠儿，但他们现在已分别 30 岁和 29, 岁，且伤病记录不佳。

特特同样是一名经验丰富的资产，莫耶斯去年就试图购买他。这三人都是优秀球员，但可能已经过了巅峰期，而招募更年轻的球员本会让俱乐部在长期实现目标的道路上处于更有利的地位。

球迷们曾希望在这个转会窗看到埃弗顿在追求欧洲赛事以及赢得 1995. 年以来首座奖杯的道路上迈出下一步。相反，莫耶斯面对的疑问将比答案更多。

不过，我们确实得到了一个答案，那就是为什么埃弗顿主教练在本赛季至今的公开场合一直挂着一副倒过来的笑容。

就这样，“太妃糖”再次陷入了管理层接受球迷审判的局面。

英国球员受“不可思议”的费里启发

哈里·温德尔肯表示，在创纪录数量的英国球员入围美国公开赛正赛后，他及其英国队友正从亚瑟·费里在今年温网的奇迹之行中汲取力量。费里在获得外卡后成为了温布尔登（SW19）的惊喜之作，一路闯入半决赛，随后被亚历山大·兹维列夫击败。温德尔肯在温网同样获得了外卡，但首轮便告负。

温德尔肯在纽约的资格赛中势如破竹，成功预定了与21号种子卢西亚诺·达德里的对决。对于这位24岁的球员来说，费里在本土赛场的表现为他及其同胞提供了如火箭燃料般的动力。“他在温网所做的一切可能永远不会再次发生，”他说，“看到一个我们认识、一起训练的人能做出如此不可思议的事情，给了我们很大的信心。这激励了我们。”温德尔肯还认为，费里迅速证明了自己的成功“并非侥幸”，因为在周六闯入温斯顿-塞勒姆公开赛决赛后，他再次成为了英国排名第一的球员。

共有八名英国球员进入正赛，其中卡梅伦·诺里、凯蒂·博尔特、雅各布·费恩利和托比·塞缪尔均在昨夜出战。 温德尔肯和同样通过资格赛晋级的哈丽特·达特（将面对本土热门选手佩顿·斯特恩斯）将在今天出战。费里和扬·乔因斯基将于周三比赛。

维拉与切尔西如何通过互助应对财务规则

英超交换商店！

作者：汤姆·科洛莫斯与基兰·吉尔

奥马里·凯利曼这个名字对大多数英超球迷来说可能没什么意义，但这位年轻的进攻中场在两家顶尖俱乐部之间的关系中扮演着至关重要的角色。

两个夏天前，凯利曼以£1900 万的价格从阿斯顿维拉转会至切尔西。对于一名仅有六次一线队出场记录的球员来说，这似乎是一笔高昂的费用。

蓝军青训产品伊恩·马特森则以3750 万英镑m的价格反向转会，并为维拉出战了91次，尽管他很少是左后卫的首选。凯利曼，20, 在本月转会至斯特拉斯堡，他此前从未为切尔西出战过一线队比赛。

2024年夏天，由于各俱乐部都在竭力避免被扣分，人们对英超的盈利与可持续发展规则（PSR）产生了广泛的恐慌。没有任何迹象表明这两家俱乐部有任何违规行为，不过维拉和切尔西在2025年夏天受到了欧足联的警告，称欧足联正在密切关注所谓的“交换交易”。

两家俱乐部目前都处于被处罚状态，欧洲足球主管机构在

2025年夏天对其处以罚款，且必须遵守严格的财务规则。这就涉及到了当前的转会窗口。尼古拉斯·杰克逊以6500 万英镑m从斯坦福桥转会至维拉，这是两家俱乐部之间的第四次转会，始于7月21. 摩根·罗杰斯以1.17 亿英镑m转会切尔西。维拉在窗口关闭前需要一名中后卫，而切尔西的人员过多，因此这段故事可能还未结束。

维拉主帅乌奈·埃梅里表示，切尔西和维拉希望在球场上将对方“击溃”。但在球场之外，两家俱乐部似乎维持着一种更健康的关系。

权力操盘手...

维拉共同所有者纳塞夫·萨维里斯（Nassef Sawiris）及其在切尔西的同行贝赫达德·埃格巴利（Behdad Eghbali）都是果断的执行者，如果掌权者之间能直接通电话，谈判往往会进展得更快。

足球财务专家基兰·马奎尔（Kieran Maguire）表示：“双方都处于欧足联（UEFA）成本控制制裁之下，必须遵循商业计划。”

“这两家俱乐部在 2024 年交易了马特森（Maatsen）和凯利曼（Kellyman），根据英超联赛的规则，这笔交易为双方带来了利润，但根据欧足联的规则则不然。”

然而，埃梅里（Emery）对合作的说法不屑一顾。“良好关系？”他说，“这种关系仅限于金钱交易。他们想干掉我们，我们也想干掉他们。我们拥有球员，也可以签下他们的球员，但这只是关于金钱和球员的交易。他们签下摩根（Morgan）和埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯（Emiliano Martinez）就是为了干掉我们。”

《每日邮报》体育版获悉，在罗杰斯（Rogers）转会切尔西的消息公布前至少两周，英超联赛的更衣室里就已经在公开讨论这次转会了。

同样，维拉在整个夏天大部分时间里一直在寻找边路进攻球员，并考虑过哈维·巴恩斯（Harvey Barnes）和克里森西奥·萨默维尔（Crysencio Summerville）等人。但最终，他们选择了亚历杭德罗·加纳乔（Alejandro Garnacho），一名切尔西不想要的球员，目前他处于租借状态。

在首日惨败给布莱顿的比赛中，年轻球员乔治·海明斯（George Hemmings）比加纳乔更受青睐，尽管维拉在半场时就以 0-4 落后，但这位阿根廷人直到第 86 分钟才替补登场。随着长期目标易卜拉欣·姆巴耶（Ibrahim Mbaye）现已加盟，加纳乔现在需要与海明斯、姆巴耶、约翰·麦金（John McGinn）以及埃米·布恩迪亚（Emi Buendia）竞争位置，他们都可以在边路作战。

尽管托特纳姆热刺对杰克逊（Jackson）表现出了初步兴趣，但《每日邮报》体育版在 7 月底被告知，如果这位塞内加尔前锋离开切尔西，他将会加盟维拉。同样，当维拉面临一个“埃米·马丁内斯式”的问题而切尔西需要一名门将时，接下来的步骤并不令人意外。这一切完全符合规则，而当俱乐部不断尝试应对欧足联那些往往令人费解的规则时，他们会利用任何合法的手段。这就是互惠互利。

谁占据优势？

如果以全新的视角审视这些交易，你会以为切尔西在欧冠联赛中，而维拉则缺席了欧洲赛场，而非事实相反。

这家斯坦福桥俱乐部从维拉那里带走了一名世界杯冠军门将和一名最顶尖的英格兰进攻球员。作为回报，他们向维拉送去了两名他们不再需要的球员。

不过，深入挖掘之后会发现，为了遵循欧足联（UEFA）强加的商业计划，维拉需要一次大额出售，而罗杰斯无疑是他们最顶级的资产，因此他以 1.17 亿英镑m 的价格离队。当维拉签下铃木齐恩时，马丁内斯看起来像是要前往尤文图斯。但那次转会失败了，维拉突然之间拥有了三名资深门将，其中包括他们薪水最高的一位。

现在，切尔西帮他们减轻了这一负担，同时在不稳定的罗伯特·桑切斯基础上实现了巨大的升级。

根据德勤足球商业报告（Deloitte Money League），切尔西 2025 年的营收比维拉高出 1 亿英镑m 以上，而且他们是非常高效的卖家。切尔西的买入或许能帮助他们赢得冠军。

维拉获得的回报可能不会那么丰厚，尤其是关于

加纳乔的部分，而且很快就会清楚埃梅里究竟有多么渴望这名 22 岁的球员。

上赛季，维拉从利物浦租借了哈维·埃利奥特，但随后决定他们并不想要他。维拉在整个赛季几乎没有让他上场，因此无需将其永久签下。在加纳乔的协议中也有类似的条款。让我们拭目以待。

然而，杰克逊则完全是另一回事，他可能会被证明是奥利·沃特金斯的理想继任者。这名 25 岁的球员在切尔西开局良好，但时任主帅恩佐·马雷斯卡对他糟糕的纪律记录失去了耐心——在 2024-25 赛季中，他拿了 8 张黄牌和 2 张红牌。随后，尽管在 12 次联赛首发中打入 8 球，他在拜仁慕尼黑租借期间仍难以给人留下深刻印象。

不过，在埃梅里麾下，情况应该会有所不同。两人最初在比利亚雷亚尔共事，尽管在杰克逊真正爆发（2023 年在加盟切尔西前 11 场比赛中打入 10 球）时埃梅里已经离开，但两人之间的联系已经建立。杰克逊信任埃梅里，反之亦然。埃梅里喜欢能立即融入其计划的球员，而杰克逊应该能做到这一点。

萨维里斯之手

在阿斯顿维拉，没有埃梅里的批准几乎不会发生任何事情。他被赋予了自由雇佣心仪工作人员的权力，而且——无论俱乐部倾向于宣传哪个版本——他被赋予了极少主教练才拥有的转会控制权。萨维里斯极不可能允许任何被埃梅里否决的事情发生。

然而，这位埃及亿万富翁在欧洲足球中正成为一个日益重要的角色，这一点在转会窗口期间尤为明显。

《每日邮报》体育版于 5 月 1 日率先披露维拉想要姆巴耶，而这次交易得益于萨维里斯与巴黎圣日耳曼主席纳赛尔·阿尔-赫莱菲之间的私人关系。

当埃梅里在 2022, 秋季被聘请时，前首席执行官克里斯蒂安·普斯洛在开场白中提到了豪尔赫·门德斯的经纪公司 Gestifute。门德斯与埃梅里关系良好，并曾向维拉推荐 AC 米兰前锋拉斐尔·莱奥，尽管这位葡萄牙国脚最终选择了加拉塔萨雷提供的更高薪水。

据信，门德斯也促成了姆巴耶加盟维拉公园球场，且据认为在去年夏天，他参与了为马丁内斯寻找新俱乐部的尝试，而马丁内斯现在最终来到了斯坦福桥。

并非足球界的所有人都喜欢门德斯，但考虑到他的关系网，将他留在联系人名单中是有意义的。

接下来的几个月——事实上，接下来的 48 小时——将告诉我们这些俱乐部谁在交易中获益更多。然而，随着欧足联为俱乐部制造了一个日益复杂的财务谜题，如果他们互相帮助，真的令人惊讶吗？

桑德兰 伊西多尔 75 富勒姆

西蒙·伯德 发自光明球场

由于对在欧罗巴联赛圣西罗球场比赛充满期待，雷吉斯·勒布里斯的球队展现出了一种高效、强硬且令人窒息的表现，这种表现足以让 90 年代的米兰感到自豪。

关于桑德兰能否在应对欧洲赛场竞争的同时，复制上赛季在英超联赛中一路飙升的状态，结论尚早。

但目前，他们已经证明，上赛季助力他们勉强获得第七名的那种韧性、组织力和精神面貌依然是他们的资产。

本周末，随着欧罗巴联赛赛程的公布，威尔赛地区陷入了兴奋之中，但在这场苦战期间，气氛并非如此。

比赛最终被威尔逊·伊西多尔的登场点燃，他在第 75 分钟打入制胜球，让这支“麦克姆”球队拿到了本赛季的首分。

这是 50 多年来首次在欧洲大陆比赛，这将成为本赛季一个创造回忆的高光时刻，包括 9 月 16 日在主场对阵阿尔克马尔的首场比赛，以及 12 月的米兰之行。

但国内赛事的优先级仍需处理。勒布里斯的部下似乎不太可能陷入陈词滥调的“第二赛季综合症”而导致竞争力下降。在绝境中挤出微弱优势并赢得胜利是他们的绝活。

比赛进行到 70 分钟时，主队的预期进球数仅为 0.17，且只有一次射正。这场以稳健为主的较量缺乏灵光一现的突破。随后，一次双换人给主队进攻注入了活力。

在进球之前，刚刚签署一份新四年合同的伊西多尔在格拉尼特·扎卡的一次长传过顶后，接到了恩佐·勒费完美的左翼传中，但球击中了立柱，这是一个糟糕的失误。

勒布里斯沮丧地跪在地上。“打得太好了，就差……把它射进去。不。我的膝盖没事吧？我得回顾一下录像！”他说。但几分钟后，出现了一个几乎相同的传中，这次来自另一名替补球员

现在迎接米兰

后防强悍，前场高效，桑德兰在准备前往圣西罗球场之际，看起来就像昔日的意大利大师

右翼的哈比布·迪亚拉（Habib Diarra）表现出色，而伊西多尔（Isidor）也没有失手。

他在本周发布了一张自己小时候站在圣西罗球场上的照片，并写道：“永远相信你自己和你的目标。”而现在，他确立了自己在锋线上的主导地位，取代了状态不佳的布赖恩·布罗贝（Brian Brobbey），他在进球前 10 分钟被换下。

勒布里斯（Le Bris）暗示在转会截止日期前尝试引进“一两名”新援，他补充道：“你可以低估桑德兰，这会激发我们的能量。我们必须提高水平，我认为我们正在变得更好。我们的灵活性也是如此。如何既能承担风险又能保持组织有序？”

“我们决定通过换人来注入新能量。他们表现得非常激烈。我们将强度提升了 30% 的能量。他们做得很好。”

富勒姆仍在寻求首场积分，且未能创造出一次射正。亚历克斯·伊沃比（Alex Iwobi）在沉闷的开场四分之一时段内创造了第一次机会，他将球挑给乔什·金（Josh King），但后者射偏门上。这是罕见的进攻时刻。下半场，诺尔迪·穆基莱（Nordi Mukiele）滑铲挡出了冈萨洛·加西亚（Gonzalo Garcia）的射门。

富勒姆主帅阿尔瓦罗·阿尔贝罗亚（Alvaro Arbeloa）表示：“这不是我们的比赛。我们远未达到自己的水平。面对一支欧洲球队，在这个球场比赛很困难。我们需要更多能量，下半场有所改善，但随后丢球了。”

“我们的比赛中有很多可以改进的地方。我们对自己要求更高。我们正致力于提升阵容。”

耶稣准备转会巴塞罗那

阿森纳前锋加布里埃尔·耶稣（Gabriel Jesus）即将转会巴塞罗那，后者正接近达成一项价值约 £860 万的交易。这位巴西球员在枪手本赛季的前两场比赛中未入选大名单，且一直在远离一线队进行训练。他在曼彻斯特城效力五年后于 2022 年加盟阿森纳，但在米克尔·阿尔特塔（Mikel Arteta）麾下主要扮演配角，且在 2025 年的大部分时间里因十字韧带撕裂而缺阵。去年夏天，他们签下了维克托·约克雷斯（Viktor Gyokeres）作为头号前锋，现在正推动

作者：ISAAN KHAN

一项巨额交易以引进马德里竞技前锋胡利安·阿尔瓦雷斯（Julian Alvarez）。关于 29 岁的耶稣的交易尚未最终敲定，但很可能在明天的截止日期前完成。他已同意一份为期两年的合同。正如《每日邮报》体育版本月报道，耶稣曾是那不勒斯的目标，但他拒绝了前往意大利。

此次转会发生之际，阿森纳仍希望签下阿尔瓦雷斯，而后者被告知不能转会巴萨。马德里竞技已告知这位同样是前曼彻斯特城球星的前锋，要么转会阿森纳，要么留在俱乐部。他周五连续第三天缺席训练，但随后单独进行了训练。 自从马德里竞技告知阿尔瓦雷斯不会将其出售给西甲竞争对手后，他一直以患病为由缺席。 如果阿尔瓦雷斯选择现在加盟，阿森纳愿意支付高达 1.28 亿英镑 百万的费用。枪手还与利雅得新月就出售加布里埃尔·马蒂内利（Gabriel Martinelli）达成 5570 万英镑 百万的费用，并达成一项价值 780 万英镑 百万的交易让中场法比奥·维埃拉（Fabio Vieira）加盟汉堡。

亚尔库耶 35 若昂·佩德罗 63 (乌龙球) 格罗斯 90+6

在仅仅 32 分钟内就取得 3-0 领先，相关的讨论不可避免。关于切尔西成为令人意外的冠军竞争者；关于阿森纳感到担忧；关于英超其他所有球队在哈比·阿隆索出任主教练后都面临着一个难题。

切尔西在门前的进攻能力好得令人恐惧。凭借科尔·帕尔默、若昂·佩德罗和摩根·罗杰斯，他们拥有一组足以讨论冠军头衔的进攻三叉戟。这组进攻线与英格兰、甚至欧洲的任何球队相比都属于顶尖水平。

尽管观看比赛非常具有娱乐性，但切尔西不能指望每周都通过比对方进球更多来挑战最高荣誉。在决定冠军归属时，掌控力往往胜过混乱，而他们在取得 3-0 领先之后所表现出的状态，告诉了我们为什么对他们持有保留意见是正确的。

首先，看看他们是如何取得如此领先优势的。切尔西的第一个进球来自一次角球，布莱顿门将巴特·费布鲁根处理球失误，罗密欧·拉维亚补射入网，阿隆索立即祝贺了他的新定位球专家奥斯汀·麦克菲，赞扬其传球的组织。

第二个进球发生在约雷尔·哈托掷边线球被若昂·佩德罗头球摆渡给罗杰斯之后。佩德罗·内托突然杀入禁区，以完美的时机将队友的传球射门得分。

第三个进球源于罗杰斯在己方半场的一次巧妙转身和传球，随后哈托沿左路快速前插，凭借速度和精准的内切传球为若昂·佩德罗创造了机会。

这位巴西球员并没有完全模仿伊曼纽尔·阿德巴约尔——后者 2009 年为曼城进球后在阿森纳球迷区庆祝的行为已成为英超的传奇——但他特意将自己定位在布莱顿球迷面前，而这些球迷整个下午一直在嘲讽这位前球员。

切尔西第三个进球那种迅猛的特质，可以说概括了阿隆索的执教方式。他们的控球率仅为 25.6%，在对阵富勒姆时也仅为 38.1%。通过三次传球完成从后场到前场的推进，他们显得游刃有余。

然而，在另一个端点，紧迫的问题必须被提出。切尔西试图通过以 £750 万的价格从阿斯顿维拉引进门将埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯来纠正这些问题，他确实比罗伯特·桑切斯是一个升级。正是桑切斯上周末在富勒姆比赛中的表现迫使蓝军重新思考，此前整个夏天他们一直坚称不需要在门将市场上寻找目标。显而易见，如果继续沿用桑切斯，他们根本没有机会与阿森纳竞争。在 3-2 获胜的那场比赛中，他不仅丢了两个本可避免的球，甚至在一次进攻中将球带出底线导致对方获得角球。

切尔西匆忙完成了马丁内斯的签约。这位本周满 34 岁的阿根廷人昨天上午正式公布，下午便首发出场，而 21 岁的迈克·彭德斯坐在替补席上，桑切斯则被告知他现在已被挂牌出售。

考虑到这是马丁内斯自六周前世界杯决赛以来的首次亮相，他的表现相当不错。然而，切尔西的防线仍无法应对布莱顿施加的压力。

客队的第一个进球源于一次反击，内托本应在球可抢时将其化解。马丁内斯最初挡住了查拉兰波斯·科斯图拉斯的进攻，但马利克·亚尔库耶在抢到反弹球后凌空抽射破门，球在入网前击中了门框，带有一定的运气成分。

他们的第二个进球来自一次短角球配合。帕尔默没有注意到身后帕斯卡尔·格罗斯的跑位，后者的传中球在击中若昂·佩德罗后发生剧烈折射，骗过了马丁内斯。

突然之间，切尔西 3-0 的领先优势被缩小到了微弱的 3-2，而正是凭借其强大的进攻火力，阿隆索的球队才得以锁定胜局。

帕尔默的终结动作堪称绝妙，这让阿隆索在技术区再也无法克制自己。这位蓝军主帅跳出禁区，跃向空中，向球迷挥舞拳头。

英格兰队主帅托马斯·图赫尔与巴西队主帅卡洛·安切洛蒂并肩坐在看台上。他们可能正在讨论各自遗憾的夏天——因为在世界杯期间将帕尔默和若昂·佩德罗留在了家里。

帕尔默的进球为切尔西争取到了足够的领先空间，使得格罗斯在补时阶段的头球进球仅仅成了安慰奖。此前，莫伊塞斯·凯塞多因伤被迫离场，而面对曼彻斯特城的觊觎，恩佐·费尔南德斯再次缺阵。

在转会截止日到来之前的准备阶段，中场将是一个特别值得关注的领域。

开赛前，斯坦福桥球场的 Shed End 看台揭开了一幅横幅，上面写着“不只是 Xabi —— 阿隆索是蓝军的一员”。

然而，如果阿隆索的切尔西想要留在冠军争夺的对话中，他们需要找到一种方法，让后防线像前场进攻那样流畅且稳固。

阿隆索赞赏新援马丁内斯的冲击力，桑切斯面临离队

鲍比·曼齐 报道于斯坦福桥球场

尽管新任门将丢了三个球，但哈比·阿隆索在埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯切尔西首秀中感受到了他的“气场”。马丁内斯从阿斯顿维拉转会而来的 £750 万 交易直到昨天早晨才公布，但由于该名阿根廷球员已于周五在英超联赛完成注册，因此获准出场。

他的开局同样令人印象深刻，完成了四次扑救，且对于布莱顿的进球，他能做的不多。

马丁内斯以挑衅行为著称，经常通过炫技来激怒观众，阿隆索认为这为他的切尔西球队增添了一股锐气。

“埃米是世界杯冠军，今年 33 岁，经验非常丰富。他感觉自己准备好了，所以我不需要告诉他很多东西他就能发挥出色，”阿隆索说道。“门将都希望零封，但我对他初次带来的冲击力感到满意。我们会感受到他的存在，因为他拥有能够影响球队并与队员建立积极联系的魅力和气场。”马丁内斯取代了罗伯特·桑切斯，使得后者的前途变得不确定。随着曼城在权衡一项 1.2 亿英镑m 的抢购，恩佐·费尔南德斯也可能在明天转会窗关闭前离队。这名阿根廷中场在切尔西过去两场比赛的大名单中被排除在外，阿隆索表示：“我们将看看会发生什么。我们希望对球队最有利，这就是我们做出决定原因。我们正在为所有情况做准备。无论发生什么，从周三起，我们将拥有足够强大的阵容来竞争。”

25.6%

切尔西在对阵布莱顿的比赛中控球率仅为 25.6%——这是自 2003. 年 Opta 开始记录以来，他们在英超联赛中的最低控球率。他们的 146 次成功传球同样创下了蓝军在英超联赛中的新低。

法尔克赞赏利兹联反击后展现的“永不言败精神”

利兹联 1 布伦特福德 1 罗斯·赫彭斯托尔（ROSS HEPPENSTALL） 发自埃兰路球场

在签下几名重金球员以及启动球场重建工程后，这个夏天围绕利兹联的炒作非常之多。

但他们需要多米尼克·卡尔弗特-勒温在比赛末段的扳平进球，才能在面对势头强劲的布伦特福德队时挽回一分。布伦特福德在上半场完全压制了主队。

基思·安德鲁斯率领的这支“黑衣军团”一度威胁要大肆进攻，但在半场结束前，他们唯一的收获是凯文·沙德在第41分钟的一次精妙射门。主场看台上甚至出现了一些嘘声，但主教练丹尼尔·法尔克在休息期间大胆地改变了阵型——将他惯用的三后卫改为平行的四后卫——利兹联随之明显改善。在比赛还剩11分钟时，卡尔弗特-勒温在近距离射门得分，使两位主教练都对各自球队在赛季开局保持不败感到满意。法尔克为詹姆斯·特拉福德、塔里克·穆哈雷莫维奇、尼科·埃尔韦迪和哈里·威尔逊提供了主场首秀机会，他表示：“我为我的球员们在下半场的反应感到非常自豪。在联赛和联赛杯连续两场击败诺丁汉森林后，每个人都很兴奋。但我们面对的是一支状态火热、正处于巅峰的布伦特福德队，他们在上半场展现了极高的水准。”

“我对球员们提出了很多要求，因为我们改变了阵型，但我们没有崩溃——我们展现了永不言败的精神并得到了回报。”

布伦特福德在开赛首日3-0击败托特纳姆，并在联赛杯中6-1大胜伯明翰，目前仍处于亢奋状态，他们在上半场将利兹联逼入绝境。

后卫乔·罗顿在第34分钟因腿筋受伤离场，这对“白衣军团”不利。随后沙德通过一次灵巧的触球将基恩·刘易斯-波特从左翼传来的球射入网底，布伦特福德取得领先。

但阵型的切换以及下半场田中碧、威尔逊、丹·詹姆斯和卢卡斯·恩梅查的登场，使利兹联逐渐开始给令人印象深刻的“蜜蜂”后防线制造麻烦。

当恩梅查从右翼传出低平球，被卡尔弗特-勒温射门得分时，压力终于得到了释放。安德鲁斯反思道：“凭借上半场的阵地优势和掌控力，我们本可以更多地考验特拉福德。我们当时对处于对方进攻三区感到有些满足，而没有真正地给予致命一击。”

表现最佳：卡尔弗特-勒温 REX

“风暴总会到来——丹尼尔在半场做了调整——而且当这里的观众陷入狂热时，情况并不简单。这是一个令人惊叹的比赛场地，氛围总是很激烈，我非常喜欢，但你必须准备好迎接对方投向你的每一次重击。”布伦特福德全场有22次射门——其中5次射正，特拉福德做出了一些不错的扑救——且伊戈尔·蒂亚戈始终构成潜在威胁。

下半场中期，杰登·博格在禁区内似乎犯规击中了沙德，但布伦特福德被拒绝了点球请求。安德鲁斯说：“这个问题的被问到次数之多，表明其中确实有问题。”

“蜜蜂”上赛季排名第九，利兹联排名第14，但一些雄心勃勃的引援使两家俱乐部在本赛季都有机会进一步提升。

安德鲁斯谈到了球队在进攻野心方面新建立的信心，并承认未能拿到全部三分略感失望。

与此同时，利兹联正试图在转会窗关闭前扩充阵容。

法尔克表示：“我对目前的球员非常满意，但阵容规模不是很大，如果能再增加一两个球员肯定会有所帮助。”

利兹联 (3-4-2-1)：特拉福德 7.5；罗顿 5.5 (埃尔韦迪 34min, 6), 比约尔 6 (田中碧 46, 6.5), 穆哈雷莫维奇 6；博格 6.5 (詹姆斯 68, 7), 安帕杜 6, 斯塔赫 6, 贾斯汀 6；亚伦森 5.5 (威尔逊 46, 6.5), 奥卡福 6 (恩梅查 69, 7)；卡尔弗特-勒温 7。 进球者：卡尔弗特-勒温 79。 黄牌：无。

主教练：丹尼尔·法尔克 6.5。

布伦特福德 (4-2-3-1)：Kelleher 6；Kayode 6 (Wilson 88)，Ajer 7，Collins 7，Lewis-Potter 6.5 (Henry 88)；Sangare 7.5，Janelt 6；SCHADE 8 (Hickey 88)，Damsgaard 7 (Yarmolluk 69, 6)，Anthony 6 (Outarra 61, 6)；Igor Thiago 6.5。

费尔南德斯将联队救出泥潭，但他们的防线比老特拉福德的屋顶还漏水

当老特拉福德上空倾盆大雨、电闪雷鸣，且屋顶再次漏水时，曼彻斯特联队上空那所谓的阴云早已散去。

但在半场结束前的10分钟里，联队曾面临一个难以想象的局面：在赛季前两场比赛中，接连输给 newly promoted 的赫尔城和伊普斯维奇镇。

来自东安格利亚的客队凭借莱夫·戴维斯的进球领先，并威胁要在这场比赛中取得自1984年以来的首次胜利，从而在8月结束且转会窗口关闭之前，将迈克尔·卡里克及其球队推入危机。

联队在这样一场极其激烈的足球比赛中如此果断地应对逆境，值得称赞。他们获得了一些运气，尤其是马塞利诺·努涅斯的打滑导致了扳平比分的进球，而哈里·马奎尔在没有被判定手球的情况下，第二个进球被判定有效。谁制定的这些规则？

在获得正确的引导后，联队在下半场发起了猛攻，其势头就像袭击这座老球场的暴雨一样猛烈。卡里克希望他的球队采取进攻态势，而总计33次射门——这是他们十年来的最高次数——表明他正处于

费尔南德斯 40, 61 pen, 68, 格里夫斯 56 og, 姆贝乌莫 82

曼联再次感激他们的队长布鲁诺·费尔南德斯，是他将球队从困境中拉了出来。费尔南德斯上演了帽子戏法——这是他在老特拉福德职业生涯中的第三次帽子戏法——并贡献了本赛季的首次助攻；在上个赛季，他创造了英超纪录，共贡献 21 次助攻。

无论对其防守存在怎样的担忧，他都处于正确的轨道上。

在获得 PFA 年度最佳球员奖以表彰其成就的一周结束之际，费尔南德斯再次证明了他在球队中不可替代的重要性。

戴维斯 29, 阿克波姆 90+1

虽然目前关于他未来的猜测不像一年前那样激烈，但他的合同还剩 10 个月，其中包含曼联将其延长一年至 2028, 6 月的选项。感觉他依然是曼联绝对不能缺失的一名球员。

在卡洛斯·巴莱巴于开球前在球场亮相，以及其他中场新援尤里·蒂莱曼斯和安德烈·桑托斯完成主场首秀之日，费尔南德斯再次成为了全场焦点。

对于卡里克来说，比赛中还有其他巨大的亮点。科比·梅努在桑托斯之前被选中首发，这表明如果这项耗资 £1.55 亿 的中场重建计划要取得成功，他将发挥至关重要的作用。

马库斯·拉什福德在 626 天后首次在曼联首发，他展现出了那种纯粹的热情——在一切走偏、他被租借至阿斯顿维拉和巴塞罗那之前，正是这种热情让他成为了当地的英雄。我们曾好奇老特拉福德会对他的回归做出何种反应，但看台上传来了真诚的温暖。

这场胜利仍无法掩盖现有的裂痕，尤其是左后卫的问题，这一问题在整个夏天一直存在，且在转会窗关闭前两天仍没有解决的迹象。

卢克·肖在对阵赫尔城时暴露了缺陷，而伊普斯维奇在不到半小时内就做到了同样的事。阿卜杜勒·法塔武将肖甩在身后，沿着右路突破并传球给戴维斯，后者在布赖恩·姆贝乌莫的漏人情况下接球，随后直接射门。虽然森内·拉门斯此前通过对胡利奥·恩西索和前田大然的关键扑救救了曼联，但他无法阻止皮球击中横梁下沿入网。

联队在第40分钟获得了一个相当幸运的机会来扳平比分，当时努涅斯在半场附近接球时打滑，马特乌斯·库尼亚的一次精妙早期传球穿过了萨萨·卢基奇，直接传到了费尔南德斯的路径上。联队的队长是否有足够的体能摆脱对手？可能没有，因此他触球一次，随后将球猛烈地射过了基尔·舍尔彭。

在下半场早些时候，姆贝莫在近距离射门竟然击中横梁后，联队在五分钟内打入两球，彻底改变了比赛局面。

第一个进球对伊普斯维奇来说感觉非常不公平，因为马奎尔在禁区外与楚巴·阿克波姆争抢时，显然使用了手部来控制球。这位联队后卫随后进入禁区并射出一记低球，球原本将偏出底线，但击中了雅各布·格里夫斯，这不仅使球改变方向越过了舍尔彭，而且因为被判定为乌龙球，从而抵消了手球犯规。

伊普斯维奇主帅加里·奥尼尔风度翩翩地接受了这一“奇怪的规则”，但总结了围绕此事的委屈感。奥尼尔表示：“有时你看到一个进球，觉得它不应该成立，这感觉就是其中之一。”此外，他还不幸在半场休息时失去了纪录签约球员埃默森，后者因膝盖受伤离场。

格里夫斯的处境在随后变得更糟，当时

费尔南德斯在正确的时间出现在正确的位置，将他的第三个进球轻巧地射过伊普斯维奇门将舍尔彭，使联队在通往一场轻松胜利的道路上稳步前行。

他绊倒了库尼亚，后者正沿着梅努的直传球向前冲刺，费尔南德斯随后通过点球得分。随后在梅努和姆贝莫的射门都被封堵后，球恰好滚向这位葡萄牙球星，他顺势将其推入网窝，完成帽子戏法。

随着头顶风暴肆虐，费尔南德斯将球传给姆贝莫，后者通过挑射越过舍尔彭打入第五球；随后恩西索从利桑德罗·马丁内斯脚下抢球并横传，由阿克波姆得分。

虽然这球无关胜负，但再次提醒人们，尽管比分领先，曼联仍有工作要做。

曼彻斯特联（4-2-3-1）：拉门斯 7.5；达洛特 6（约罗 74分, 6），马奎尔 7，马丁内斯 6，肖 5.5（马兹拉维 73, 6）；蒂莱曼斯 6，梅努 8（桑托斯 80）；姆贝莫 6，费尔南德斯 9，拉什福德 7（多尔古 80）；库尼亚 7.5（塞什科 80）。进球者：费尔南德斯 40, 61 点球, 68，格里夫斯 56 乌龙球，姆贝莫 82。黄牌：姆贝莫。

显而易见：马奎尔事件

不同的时刻。像今天这样，当你期待某些球员能为我们带来一些额外的突破时，他表现得尤为出色。所以，他为我们提供了很多。”费尔南德斯打入的第一球将比分扳平至 1-1，这次进球发生在与马特乌斯·库尼亚的一次反击中，后者惩罚了马塞利诺·努涅斯的一次代价高昂的失误。但伊普斯维奇的运气在 1-1 平局时变得更糟，当时哈里·马奎尔将球射入底角。这位后卫向前冲刺，尽管球明显触手，但他仍带球前进了两码后低平射门。至关重要的一点是，该射门原本会偏出，但击中了雅各布·格里夫斯的脚后跟进入球门，根据比赛规则，这使得该进球被判定有效。VAR 裁判贾里德·吉莱特告诉主裁判克雷格·波森：“这是一个乌龙球，且无意触手不予处罚，因此我们建议判定进球。”

如果波森或吉莱特认为这是故意触手，该进球可能会被取消。在这种情况下，关键在于这并非马奎尔的进球。 “肯定不是故意的触手，而且我觉得球没碰到我的手指，”马奎尔说。“实际上我的射门稍微偏了，所以遗憾的是我认为这会被记录为乌龙球，但这就是进球有效的理由。” “如果这是我的进球，他们会取消它，这就是现在的规则，但幸运的是球在对方那边，我们配得上这场胜利和这一点运气。” 对于伊普斯维奇主帅加里·奥尼尔来说，这很难接受，因为他的球队

随后崩溃，送出一个点球被费尔南德斯命中，之后曼联又进了两球。

“这是一个奇怪的规则，”奥尼尔说。“想象一下，如果射门飞向球门柱附近。谁来判定这球是否在射正范围内？我当然接受，而且无论如何，比赛结果已经注定。”

“但进球者有明显的触手行为。他的射门最终进了球，所以你会认为这足以让进球被取消。”

在被追问规则是否需要修改时，奥尼尔补充道：“这很诡异。我认为这对裁判来说是一个非常苛刻的规则，而且我认为我们不需要给裁判制定如此苛刻的规则，现在的压力已经足够大了。如果我们能让规则尽可能清晰，对他们会有所帮助。”

感谢布鲁诺！

费尔南德斯成为曼联英雄，队长及时上演帽子戏法

曼联 伊普斯威奇

内森·索尔特（NATHAN SALT） 发自老特拉福德

布鲁诺·费尔南德斯再次成为曼彻斯特联队的救星，在老特拉福德对阵伊普斯威奇的比赛中，他攻入一记精彩的帽子戏法，为红魔的赛季开启良好开端。

曼联在半场结束时以 1-1 战平，在经历了上周在赫尔城遭遇的灾难（在那场比赛中他们被对方压制并以 2-0 告负）后，球队不得不进行深刻反思。

但年度最佳球员费尔南德斯及其队友在下半场表现得极具灵感。凭借他的帽子戏法，加上雅各布·格里夫斯的一个乌龙球以及布莱恩·姆贝乌莫的一次精妙挑射，曼联最终以 5-2 获胜。

“布鲁诺意义重大，”曼联主帅迈克尔·卡里克表示，“他是队长。他在这里已经待了很多年了。他经历过大量不同的情绪和事情。”

“他有很多东西可以传授给其他人，可以为他们指明方向，以身作则并帮助他们——”

鲁特告知他的“神奇四人组”：书写你们自己的历史

再次发威：费尔南德斯在完成帮助球队击败伊普斯威奇的帽子戏法后庆祝（图片来源：SHUTTERSTOCK）

劳伦斯·布斯（LAWRENCE BOOTH） 发自勋章球场（Lord's）的板球记者

在英格兰队横扫巴基斯坦并赢得 20 个月来首个测试赛系列赛胜利后，乔·鲁特号召英格兰的快球四人组去“书写他们自己在历史中的篇章”。

奥利·罗宾逊以 4 个 wicket（得 24 分）领跑，帮助英格兰在勋章球场的第二场测试赛中以 194 分的优势获胜，取得了 2-0 的不可撼动领先地位。这一结果让鲁特对他的快球手们赞不绝口，罗宾逊的精准度与乔弗拉·阿彻、古斯·阿特金森和乔什·汤格的绝对速度形成了互补。

“这些小伙子有机会创造属于他们自己的传奇，”他说，“他们的年龄相仿，可以在很长一段时间内共同作战，并且拥有能够适应全球不同环境的技能组合。没有理由他们不能书写自己在历史中的篇章。”

在出现了一些不受欢迎的与饮酒相关的头条新闻后，鲁特还敦促他的球队适度庆祝。“享受其中，但要以一种理智、成熟的方式，”他说。

数字填字游戏

桥牌大师课 / 隐喻填字游戏

西家 ♠ Q J 10 8 ♥ J 2 ♦ K J 6 ♣ A Q 7 5

东家 ♠ AK97 ♥ 8643 ♦ A3 ♣ 832

参赛队伍中，北家开叫 1♦，随后传到作为西家的你手中。你会如何叫牌？在保护位置上，你的叫牌可以比直接加叫时大约低 3 分。叫 1NT。你的手牌平衡且钻石花有阻挡，且由于仅持有两张红心，不适合进行强迫叫出（take-out double）。因为你在保护位置，这显示 12-14 分。

东家尝试 Stayman 叫法，在你响应 2♠ 后，进行了一次邀请性的加叫至 3♠。由于你的 1NT 叫牌处于上限，你加叫至 4♠，竞标结束。北家出 ♥K，赢得该轮，随后出 ♥7，南家出 ♥A。南家现在转出 ♦10。让我们分析一下你对高分牌位置的了解。

记住叫牌过程。北家开叫 1♦，一旦你发现南家持有 ♥A，你就知道所有剩余的高分牌必然在北家手中。不幸的是，这意味着两种小牌花色的挤压（finesses）都注定失败，这似乎让你在已经失去红心的基础上，又增加了两张梅花输牌。对此你有什么办法吗？本局明日继续。

MORE DANGEROUS CRIMINALS SET TO BE FREED EARLY

Stalkers and abusers on ‘indefinite’ sentences up for release, as Labour minister tells Mail Burnham is ‘not focused on risk’

By Rebecca Camber and Christian Calgie

ANDY Burnham was last night accused of endangering the public over his latest change to the prison early-release scheme.

The Prime Minister is facing a new backlash after changing the policy to keep PC Andrew Harper's killers behind bars, but at the same time opening the cell door to hundreds of dangerous offenders.

In yet another U-turn on the controversial scheme, Mr Burnham said anyone convicted of unlawful killing will be excluded.

It means Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole, who were convicted of the officer's manslaughter in 2020, will no longer be eligible for early release next year, to the relief of PC Harper's family and police leaders.

But to make the change, ministers are finding extra cell spaces by releasing inmates serving indefinite terms under imprisonment for public protection sentences (IPPs) – which were given to offenders considered a significant risk

EXCLUSIVE

By David Churchill

'GOLDEN goodbyes' for civil servants and staff at taxpayer-funded Whitehall agencies have doubled under Labour to more than £300million.

An audit of Government accounts by the Daily Mail found 6,000 former staff received exit packages worth £336million last year.

It rocketed from £153million for 3,353 employees at government departments and public bodies such as quangos the year before.

One payout for a senior bureaucrat from the environment department was for between £300,000 and £350,000.

Hundreds more pocketed exit packages that were worth £100,000 or more, with

'Handed massive chunks of cash'

25 banking 'golden goodbyes' over £200,000.

Meanwhile, separate analysis found headcounts at Whitehall departments and linked agencies surged at three times the rate of the rest of the public sector, with personnel growing by a third over a decade.

Headcount soared by 33.3 per cent - some 139,485 roles - between 2016 and 2026, the analysis found.

This compares with 9.4 per cent growth across the rest

£300m

spent on Golden Goodbyes for Whitehall civil servants as the headcount INCREASES by 33%

Payout: Sir Chris Wormald

of the public sector, meaning the Whitehall workforce now totals 557,825.

This was up from 418,340 in 2016, sending the annual civil service wage bill soaring to around £22.5 billion.

The scale of 'golden goodbye' payouts, uncovered by the Mail, follows fury after it this month emerged former head of the civil service Sir Chris Wormald was handed a record severance package in the region of £500,000.

He had served just 14 months in his role as the Cabinet Secretary when he was effectively sacked by former prime minister Sir Keir Starmer in February. The severance payments collectively dwarf those of a decade ago, when more than £250 million a year was often spent on exit packages.

Whitehall sources last night said that the packages were part of a drive to slash civil service headcounts after £300million was earmarked for cutting roles in last year's Spring Statement.

But critics said many of the payouts appeared excessive at a time when the tax burden is at its highest for nearly 80 years.

Tory MP Greg Smith said: 'While taxes are ballooning and people are struggling to pay at supermarket checkouts and fuel pumps, it is a slap in the face to watch civil servants being handed massive chunks of cash.'

William Yarwood, of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'Ministers must cap these payouts and strictly control them in the future.'

A Government spokesman said: 'We're bringing the number of back-office civil servants down and targeting money on the front line, where it is most needed.

‘This costs money up front but will save the taxpayer in the long-term.’

Call election, says Labour grandee

ANDY Burnham is facing renewed pressure to call a general election after a Labour grandee said he should go to the country before next summer.

By David Wilcock and Christian Calgie

Alan Johnson, the former home secretary, said the Prime Minister must prove his new policies are popular and a break from the Starmer era by holding a vote in 2027.

Mr Johnson – a Cabinet minister under Sir Tony Blair and alongside Mr Burnham under Gordon Brown – told Times Radio: 'He [Burnham] can't really, I don't think, see out the whole Starmer term, until 2029. He's got to think about going to the country before that and getting his own mandate.'

He said it didn't need to happen immediately, admitting Labour MPs 'will be screaming that the last thing they want is a general election'.

But Mr Johnson said it was vital to 'restore trust in politics' and cited Mr Brown's failure to call an election after replacing Sir Tony as PM in 2007. Mr Johnson was speaking after Tory leader Kemi Badenoch wrote to the Cabinet Secretary demanding formal pre-election talks with civil servants.

Mrs Badenoch has said she believes Mr Burnham will call an election sooner rather than later because Labour's current manifesto 'does not allow him to put up the taxes he wishes to pursue his agenda'. She said she wants mandarins to be fully across Tory plans for radical reforms should his gamble backfire.

Mr Burnham insisted an early election is not 'what people are looking for right now'.

Asked why he wouldn't capitalise on Labour's recent rise in the polls to overtake Reform UK, Mr Burnham said: 'I will tell you why not - because I am focused on the needs of the country and not party-political interest.'

Kylie can't get iconic jumpsuit out of her head

Flowing: Kylie posts an image of the famous outfit 25 years on

Pop icon: Kylie in the 2001 music video, left, and above featured in the latest issue of Vogue Australia, inset below

IT'S the plunging white jumpsuit that is almost as memorable as the pop classic it will for ever be associated with.

And 25 years after the single that relaunched her career, Kylie Minogue has shared some never-before-seen images of the Fee Doran outfit she wore in the video for Can't Get You Out Of My Head.

To celebrate the song reaching one billion streams on Spotify, the Australian superstar, 58, posted archive photos from the initial fitting tests.

The outfit was created by the London-based designer who drew inspiration from Grace Jones's style. And Ms Minogue revealed she cut open the sides, creating the flowing silhouette. The singer

By Dominique Hines

also shared snaps of the video's second look - a black sleeveless top with mesh panels on the chest, a fishnet arm cuff and black culottes which she wore while driving through a futuristic city.

'La la la! Can't Get You Out Of My Head makes the Spotify BILLIONS CLUB! Whaaaaaaat!?" she wrote alongside the pictures.

'Thank you to everyone all around the world who has streamed and sang and danced and loved! Way before streaming, here I am doing wardrobe and glam tests in preparation for the video. Someone tell her she's hit a BILLION.'

Released as the lead single from her 2001 album Fever, Can't Get

You Out Of My Head went on to top the charts in more than 40 countries and became the biggest hit of Ms Minogue's career. Today it is streamed an estimated 850,000 times per day.

Speaking to her sister Dannii Minogue in Vogue Australia, for which she poses on the cover, she said her music career was 'destiny'. 'I definitely had this daytime fantasy about pop music

and pop stars. I had my idols, but I never consciously thought: "That's what I'm going to do."

'Maybe it was destiny, maybe intuition. For me, it was always the music, the fashion, the attitude, the performance. I was completely hypnotised by it all.'

Weekend lie-ins and early school starts give teens 'jet lag'

YOUNGSTERS are understandably anxious about finding a job, the cost of living and internet dating.

But it may be asking a lot to sympathise with their latest scourge – 'social jet lag', or the idea that getting up early for school after staying up late and lying in at the weekend makes them anxious.

Researchers found the change in

By Eleanor Harding Education Editor

schedules dictated by school, work or free time created a similar effect to jet lag and may affect their mental health.

They said teenagers would benefit from regular bedtimes, even at weekends, and schools could 'reconsider start times' to accommodate their sleep routines. The Southampton University report into youngsters aged 12 to 18, published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews, analysed 12 studies, involving more than 235,000 youngsters, and reviewed a further six.

It found a link between teenagers experiencing greater levels of social jet lag and higher levels of anxiety. Dr Sarah Chellappa, of the university, said: 'During puberty, the body's internal clock usually shifts back by a few hours. But teenagers also face... early school starts which can rob them of sleep.

'Many lie in on weekends... but this mismatch between weekday and weekend sleep can worsen social jet lag.'

Costly vista: Your scenic setting could be used as an excuse to charge you more

Car penalty: A large space for cars will see homes pushed into a higher bracket

Window pain: A garden room may mean you fall foul of the mansion tax 'police'

Do you have any of these features at home? Then HMRC snoopers may hit you with the mansion tax

By David Wilcock and Christian Calgie

HOUSES with scenic views, conservatories and large garages will be among those targeted by Labour's mansion tax 'police', it was claimed last night.

Inspectors charged with working out which homes are worth enough to be hit by the new property raid have a checklist of features they can use to push up their taxable value.

They include a host of popular housing features as well as more subjective measures such as the quality of a property's view and its architectural style.

Anyone who refuses a visit from the HMRC inspectors would be committing a criminal offence, punishable by a fine of up to £200. The Conservatives said a

'Sinister reality of Labour snooping plot'

HMRC tax manual obtained under freedom of information laws showed inspectors would also mark up homes with conservatories, balconies, large garages or larger numbers of car parking spaces.

They are included alongside more obvious signs of opulence such as swimming pools or tennis courts, stabling and land for horses, annexes and outbuildings and whether the house is in a gated community. Any farmland

attached to a home may also be considered under the levy.

Ministers have previously admitted that valuation agents will be able to carry out 'internal inspections' of homes to check if they are worth more than the £2million threshold.

Conservative chairman Kevin Hollinrake said: "This is the sinister reality of Labour's secret council tax snooping plot laid bare. HMRC agents will soon be entering your home and noting down the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, parking spaces, balconies, conservatories and even the quality of the view out the window.

'They will feed that information into their Big Brother database to bring more and more homes into the net for Labour's new family homes tax. And hard-working families and pensioners face being spied on even if they don't ultimately have to pay.

'This is a huge invasion of privacy and another tool in Labour's arsenal, developed to levy yet more tax on aspiration.'

The high-value council tax surcharge - often referred to as a mansion tax – will take effect in 2028 after being unveiled at last year's Budget by then-Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

Snoopers: Homeowners face fines for turning HMRC away

HMRC agents will use third-party data and publicly available information to value properties but will also be able to carry out 'internal inspections'.

The Government's budget watchdog estimated 165,000 properties will be affected in the policy's first year, rising to 167,000 in 2030.

The surcharge will be introduced in four price bands, starting at £2,500 annually for properties worth more than £2million, rising to £7,500 for those exceeding £5million.

A re-evaluation of high-value homes will determine the new tax, which is expected to affect properties across council tax bands F, G and H.

The Tories have previously warned that the new database of mansion values in England could be used as an excuse for Labour to completely re-evaluate all property values as part of an overhaul of council tax.

Council tax levels were set in 1992, well before surges in property values over the past three and a half decades.

A growing number of Labour MPs are calling for just that, arguing that the current council tax bands favour wealthy southern homeowners over deprived northern communities.

Andy Burnham has previously said he wants to 'reform' council tax, calling the current system 'highly regressive' and the 1990s-based evaluations 'not justifiable'.

'You can be paying much more council tax in a Band D house in Greater Manchester than in some of the very wealthiest parts of London,' he said.

A Government spokesman said:

'A huge invasion of privacy'

'HMRC's approach to valuing homes is well-established and already used to ensure fair and accurate valuations for millions of homes for council tax.

‘The surcharge addresses a longstanding unfairness where a Band D home in Darlington pays more in council tax than a £10million mansion in Mayfair.

'The surcharge will apply to less than 1 per cent of properties in England.'

Trans-rights Labour MP apologises for 'quit' jibe at colleague

EXCLUSIVE By Gabriel Millard-Clothier and Dan Hodges

A PRO-TRANS Labour MP has apologised after suggesting a fellow MP should quit the party over his opposition to woke policies.

Alex Sobel, the MP for Leeds Central and Headingley, came under fire for controversial comments he made to the campaign group Act! For Trans Liberation in a video recording seen by the Daily Mail.

He condemned fellow Labour MP Jonathan Hinder and suggested he should consider quitting Labour after he made a speech in favour of women's rights, which Mr Sobel branded 'hard-Right'.

Mr Sobel said: 'I'm not quite ready at this point to say that, because of that issue and that view, we should expel him from the Labour Party, he can make his own decisions.

that's going to go forward.' He added that those who believe in biological sex 'come from other worlds, with views from those cultures and have brought them in with them to the Labour party'.

However, Rosie Duffield MP, who resigned from the Labour party over the leadership's position on gender, last night told the Mail: 'It's such a shame that MPs like Alex Sobel cannot understand the serious threat to basic women's rights that their obsessive campaigning for men's rights causes to the ordinary working people they were elected to represent.

'Women are being hounded out of jobs for believing in basic biological reality and the right to protect our vital single sex spaces. I am grateful to Jonathan Hinder and a few other brave Labour MPs who continue to stand up for women.'

Last night Mr Sobel was forced to apologise when approached by the Mail, saying he would contact Mr Hinder directly.

He said: 'I recognise that I should not have referred to a Labour colleague in this way.

'It is important that we always engage in debate in a collegiate and constructive way.'

Daddy's brave boys...

Sons in moving Old Trafford salute, 8 days after A66 crash

By Katherine Lawton

THE two sons of a police officer killed in a crash with joyriders walked out as mascots with Manchester United yesterday – in an emotional tribute to their father's favourite team.

PCs Matthew Blades, 37, and Tom Clough, 38, died alongside five male occupants of a VW Passat travelling the wrong way down the A66 near Middlesbrough in the early hours of August 22.

In a tribute in the match programme, the club wrote about 'proud Red' PC Blades: 'Matthew was a devoted family man and a police officer who dedicated his life to helping others.'

His widow Sarah attended yesterday's game against Ipswich Town with their children, who led out the team as mascots in honour of their father.

applause in memory of PC Blades and PC Clough before Middlesbrough's Championship encounter with West Bromwich Albion at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.

Supporters also paid their respects at Seaton Carew FC's game against FC Hartlepool - with PC Blades a former junior football coach at both teams.

United's programme tribute added: 'For Matt, some of his happiest times were spent watching United with his boys. His wife Sarah and two children will be at today's game, with his sons leading out the Reds as mascots.' They also printed a tribute from a friend and colleague of PC Blades, which read: 'Today, we remember a fellow Red. A husband. A father.

A son. A brother. A friend. A police officer. A man who gave his life in the service of others. Forever our superhero.' Man Utd went on to win the game 5-2. Middlesbrough and County Durham have been gripped by a wave of violence since the crash, which has left some residents too intimidated to leave their homes.

Theo Rae, 17, Cole Worthy, 17, Michael Cahill, 23, Jakub Matusiak, 23, and Makai Saddington, 18, were driving in the Passat and all died in the smash.

Four of the five youths had previous criminal convictions, and were believed to be associated with another car which was seen ramming properties on the morning of the crash.

Police are investigating whether the spate of violence, including the fatal A66 crash, is linked to organised crime.

Middlesbrough, which has the highest crime rate in England bar central London, was rocked again when a seven-year-old girl, Valentina Foster, and her aunt, Natalie McDonald, 34, died in a house fire. Two men were arrested on suspicion of murder.

Although police did not link the blaze to the A66 crash, they did not rule out a connection to wider organised crime.

Barely 24 hours later, armed police were responding to another serious incident in Middlesbrough, with claims of a machete attack that left a man with stab wounds.

Seven more men were later held as part of a broader operation to disrupt organised crime, taking the total number of arrests to 24.

Matt Storey, Cleveland's police and crime commissioner, had written at least seven letters to the Government since July 2024 warning that officers were 'woefully underfunded' and struggling to protect the public. The most recent, sent to Andy Burnham last month, said shrinking recruitment was driving 'concern about whether help will be there when it is needed most'.

Cleveland police was forced to call in 200 officers from nearby regions last week after the crash.

British woman, 31, stabbed to death at German rail station

POLICE are investigating after a young British woman was stabbed to death at a German railway station.

The victim, 31, was found with knife wounds at Rosenheim train station in Upper Bavaria at 1am yesterday. She died soon after being taken to hospital.

Police arrested a 27-year-old German man at the scene on suspicion of murder. They did not reveal if he knew the

woman. A spokesman for Upper Bavaria South police said they were investigating potential motives because the reason for the attack was not initially clear.

The suspect, a German citizen from the Fuerstenfeldbruck district, near Munich, was due to be brought before magistrates in Rosenheim last night. Police said: 'Federal officers were able to provisionally arrest him immediately after the attack at the station scene.'

Rosenheim, the third largest city in Upper Bavaria with a population of more than 64,000, is hosting its annual Herbstfest, its answer to Munich's Oktoberfest.

Rosenheim Mayor Abuzar Erdogan said: 'There are no indications of a security threat in our city or of any link to our Herbstfest. The criminal investigation department is working closely with the public prosecutor's office to investigate the circumstances and motive behind the crime as a matter of urgency.'

A Foreign Office spokesman said: 'We are supporting the family of a British woman who died in Germany and are in touch with the local authorities.'

THE TWISTED TALE OF AMANDA KNOX

In 2007, British exchange student Meredith Kercher was found murdered in her apartment in Perugia, Italy. Her roommate, the American student Amanda Knox (Grace Van Patten), was convicted of her murder amid a storm of media coverage. This controversial eight-part drama centres on Knox's 16-year battle to prove her innocence in the face of a wave of public opinion that

to the public between 2005 and 2012. Current and former ministers warned that the solution could pose a far higher risk to the public because many IPP prisoners have been assessed as too dangerous to release.

One of Mr Burnham's own senior ministers condemned the plans, saying: 'The Prime Minister has been too focused on media response rather than actual risk.

'He's bowed to public pressure over the reaction to PC Harper's killers and not focused on the actual high-risk, high-harm perpetrators.

'Are those who've committed manslaughter likely to come out of prison and commit manslaughter again? No. But I can guarantee you that the obsessed stalker or domestic abuser will come out and relentlessly pursue their victim again.'

Mr Burnham also faced criticism from campaigners who said the exemptions to the scheme did not go far enough because any persistent offenders, such as domestic abusers and stalkers, will still be let out early, putting victims at risk.

Some 5,000 prisoners had been due to be released early from next month under plans to ease jail overcrowding, down from

6,000 after ministers intervened to exempt rapists and serious child sex offenders.

Yesterday Mr Burnham limited the scheme further, blocking all those convicted of manslaughter, death by dangerous driving, indecent assault and grooming gang perpetrators.

He said: 'We will now not only be keeping offenders serving time for indecent assault locked up, but also those in prison for manslaughter and death by dangerous driving.

'This means the awful criminals responsible for the killing of PC Andrew Harper will not have their sentence shortened.'

Dame Nicole Jacobs, Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales, said: 'For victims of domestic abuse across the country, this announcement won't bring reassurance. While it's good to see more

dangerous offenders exempt from this scheme, I remain deeply concerned about the number of abusers who will still be eligible for early release.

'This decision does not change the fact that victims and survivors will still be forced to take measures to protect themselves from dangerous abusers because the Government and our criminal justice system cannot.'

Former justice secretary David Gauke warned that the release of IPP prisoners carried 'much higher risks', adding: 'The reality is that the remaining IPPs are in prison for good reason. They have been assessed (repeatedly) as being high risk. I looked at their prison disciplinary records and in many cases it was clear why they'd not been released.

'Caution is still needed. In terms of public protection, releasing IPPs comes with much higher risks than the categories excluded from the early-release scheme.'

Tory justice spokesman Nick Timothy said: 'They're among the most dangerous people in prison. Will they all be released? Just some? How many? And on what timescale? What about those who would have had a life sentence had IPP not existed?'

He added: 'This is Andy Burnham's fifth position on early release in less than six weeks

VIOLENT offenders could be released under Labour's plans to free criminals serving imprisonment for public protection sentences.

Known as IPPs, they were established by Labour in 2005 to keep the public safe from violent criminals and sexual offenders. They gave a minimum term and allowed the criminal to be released only when a Parole Board ruled they were not a threat to the public.

Infamous IPP offenders included:

'He seems to be trying to stop the release of one set of dangerous criminals by releasing another set of dangerous criminals.'

RICHARD LLOYD was 26 when he was jailed for at least three years in May 2008 for sexual assault, attempted rape and witness intimidation.

Sir Robert Buckland, a former justice secretary, said: 'I know first-hand the crisis facing the criminal justice system in Britain, but changing the early-release scheme from favouring one set of dangerous criminals to another set of dangerous criminals does very little to protect the public.

TRACEY CONNELLY, the mother of Baby P, was jailed in 2009 for at least five years for allowing the death of her 17-month-old son Peter in August 2007.

'While Mr Burnham focuses on winning a PR battle, today's announcement will still put decent law-abiding citizens in danger. The Government must get a grip and explain exactly how and when it will increase prison capacity, which is the only way to put a stop to this crisis once and for all.'

IPP prisoners behind bars because they can be released only once the Parole Board is satisfied they no longer need to be confined for public safety.

As of June 30, 856 IPP prisoners were behind bars. Eight in ten of those have served at least ten years beyond the minimum term at which they can apply for parole.

A further 1,415 prisoners have been recalled after being handed IPP sentences.

A cross-party oversight group will be set up to look at the IPP system. Mr Burnham said spaces will also be created by deporting foreign prisoners.

Thames Valley Police boss Jason Hogg welcomed the guarantee that Bowers and Cole will remain behind bars. But he said many police leaders remain concerned about plans to release offenders early and jail fewer criminals by ditching shorter prison sentences.

He described a ‘criminal justice system in crisis’, warning that forces would have to shift resources from other policing priorities to deal with offenders released into the community.

Bowers and Cole were passengers in the car that dragged PC Harper to his death after he tried to stop a gang stealing a quad bike in Sulhamstead, Berkshire, in 2019.

Aileen O'Connor, the chairman of the Thames Valley Police Federation, started a petition that attracted more than a million signatures to keep them in prison. She said: 'We are pleased the Government – despite what was, frankly, initial reluctance – has eventually listened, seen sense and made the right decision to keep these lowlifes behind bars.'

tish public' Police chief: PC Harper's loved ones have been 're-traumatised'

EXCLUSIVE

By Rebecca Camber

Crime and Security Editor

Tragic death: PC Andrew Harper

THE criminal justice system is in crisis, a senior police chief warned yesterday.

Thames Valley Police head Jason Hogg said PC Andrew Harper's family had been 're-traumatised' by having to fight his killers' release.

He welcomed the Prime Minister's announcement that his officer's killers, Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, will remain behind bars after weeks of campaigning from PC Harper's family and colleagues to block their release.

The chief constable described changes to the prison early-release scheme to exclude anyone convicted of unlawful killing as part of PC Harper's enduring legacy. But he acknowledged that many other victims' families would be disappointed that the exemptions did not go further.

Police leaders remain concerned about Government plans to release offenders early and jail fewer criminals by ditching shorter prison sentences, Mr Hogg said.

'I'm delighted and genuinely grateful for the intervention by the Government in looking at this again,' he told the Daily Mail.

Praising PC Harper's wife Lissie and mother Debbie Adlam for their campaign, he said: 'It's difficult to underestimate the impact the past four weeks have had on them as individuals and other members of Andrew's family.

'I've met some of the extended family who are clearly being re-traumatised by having to go through, simply having to fight for, in their words, justice being done. So I'm sure they'll incredibly relieved and grateful, too.

'His legacy extends further now, because of what's happened, because Lissie and Andrew's mum have had the courage speaking out in such a dignified and powerful way.

'His legacy is now many, many hundreds of families of victims who've lost their lives, will now [see the culprit] stay in prison for longer. I'm quite proud that his legacy does live on, some good has been done in this situation.'

Mr Hogg, who is a former national police lead on prisons, added: 'I think some families will be relieved by the announcement but of course there will be others who will be disappointed... There will be people who are released early, who do continue to pose a risk to the public.

‘We are in this situation still where the Sentencing Act is based

'Criminal justice system in crisis'

on the person sentenced, not the risk they pose to the public.

'There will be people who are released from custody, for example people convicted of domestic abuse, who still may pose a risk to victims or the wider public.'

He warned that forces would have to shift resources from other policing priorities to deal with offenders released into the community. I think we have a criminal justice system in crisis. That's the word I used with the Lord Chancellor when I met him earlier in the week. This is not going to be solved in a short space of time. This will take a number of years to work through.

Killer: Jessie Cole

Killer: Albert Bowers

'When – and it's not if because the reoffending rate in our country is about 30 per cent for released adults in the first year – some of those individuals released early breach their conditions, those individuals should be back in custody very quickly.'

Mr Hogg added: 'Already the whole Sentencing Act hasn't properly kicked in and I'm receiving reports that it's more difficult to remand people to custody.'

Yesterday Ms Adlam told BBC Breakfast that the past few weeks had been traumatic.

She added: 'It's a really mixed bag of emotions, though, because on the one hand we are glad, but we've been brought through the mill, and we are only back at where we were to start with.'

Clinging on: A passenger is winched off the hull of the capsized and sinking Filo Jet yesterday as others wait to be rescued

Eight killed as ferry capsizes off Cyprus

At least 17 missing as captain and seven others held

Save our souls: Passengers on the listing vessel before it rolled over. Above: The Filo Jet

By Freya Barnes, Noor Qurashi and Tom Lawrence

AT least eight people died yes- terday and 17 are missing after a ferry carrying 267 passengers and crew capsized and sank off the coast of northern Cyprus.

The ship's captain and seven others have been arrested by police investigating the tragedy.

The high-speed catamaran set off at 11.58am from the port of Kyrenia, also known as Girne, for the Turkish port of Tasucu, where it was expected to arrive at 5.52pm local time.

But disaster struck 15 minutes into the journey as the vessel – the Filo Jet, which sails under a Turkish flag – was hit by two large waves and began taking on water between two and four miles from shore.

After the 133ft vessel capsized, footage showed passengers and crew in life vests clinging to its hull. In a major operation, coast-guards and rescue helicopters ferried survivors to hospital.

After it sank last night, a local official said the wreck had been located at a depth of 1,686ft.

Some of those rescued told local media they heard a blast at the bow before the ferry capsized, but it was not clear last night what the source of such a sound might have been.

They also reportedly claimed there weren't enough life jackets on board for the 259 passengers and eight crew members. Unal Ustel, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), which is only recognised by Turkey, said 'all resources' had been deployed. He added: 'We are

'We are deeply saddened'

deeply saddened. There has been loss of life and there are injuries.'

He said the disaster would be thoroughly investigated and 'even the slightest negligence will be uncovered', adding: 'No one will be spared, regardless of who they are, who is found to be at fault or responsible.'

It is unknown whether any Britons were on board. The Foreign Office told the Daily Mail: 'We are liaising with local authorities.'

The distance between Kyrenia and Tasucu is approximately 40 miles. The Cyprus Department of Meteorology's forecast for the north coast described the sea yesterday as generally slight, with small, gentle waves – although beyond two miles off shore, ships are more exposed.

Murat Senkul, mayor of Kyrenia, said the situation was 'very serious'. TRNC transport minister Erhan Arikli told local media: 'Around 100 passengers have been evacuated and taken to shore.' However, it was not clear last night how many were still unaccounted for.

The TRNC controls the northern third of Cyprus, which has been divided since 1974.

Turkish vice president Cevdet Yilmaz said: 'We are deeply saddened by the news. Search and rescue operations have been launched by the TRNC and Republic of Turkey coastguard units and are continuing without interruption. At this moment, our primary priority is the rescue of the passengers and crew.'

Cleverly: PM ‘at war with London’

SIR James Cleverly has accused Andy Burnham of waging a 'war on London' and promised to 'fight its corner' in his pitch for the mayoralty.

The former foreign and home secretary said the Prime Minister's devolution drive would involve 'centralising power in his own backyard' of Manchester, where he served as mayor, at the expense of the capital.

Londoner Sir James announced on Saturday he was quitting the Tory frontbench – where

By David Wilcock

he has held the shadow housing, communities and local government brief since last July – to run for City Hall in the next election.

Labour incumbent Sir Sadiq Khan is halfway through his third term and has not confirmed whether he will stand again in May 2028.

Sir James told LBC yesterday: 'The fact is Andy Burnham is basically very, very anti-London. You can see this not just in what he's saying but what he's doing. He's stripping hundreds of millions of pounds out of the budget of London councils.'

Sir James will campaign for the mayoralty from the backbenches and is not seeking re-election in his Braintree constituency at the next general election. He said Tory leader Kemi Badenoch was 'very supportive' when he told her earlier last week of his plans to step down from the Shadow Cabinet.

Most rogue doctors did not qualify in Britain

By Tom Midlane

FOREIGN-trained doctors are responsible for most misconduct cases in Britain.

Despite accounting for only two-fifths of doctors working in the UK (42 per cent), medics who studied overseas made up more than half of those sanctioned for misconduct in the past 12 months (55.6 per cent).

In total, 118 of the 212 doctors found guilty by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service were trained outside the UK.

The cases included fraud, incompetence, sexual misconduct and failing to disclose criminal convictions.

That figure included 28 who were struck off and another 69 whose licence to practice medicine was suspended, it was

reported. India was the most common training location for those penalised, with 23 cases, followed by Egypt with 17.

Dr Mohsen Ali, who trained in Egypt, was struck off in April for charging two patients thousands of pounds for fake cancer treatments, including ozone therapy, vitamin C and garlic oil, from his home in Leicester.

Another Egyptian-trained medic, Dr Baraa Almasri, was struck off in March for encouraging and failing to report his flatmate Marius Gustavson, the so-called 'eunuch maker', who carried out horrific illegal body mutilations in their London apartment.

An MPTS report stated that Dr Almasri 'appeared supportive' of Gustavson's activities. Gustavson was jailed for life in 2024.

Driver chased by police dies in tree smash

A MAN has died after crashing his car into a tree while being pursued by police.

Officers were alerted to a grey Audi being driven without its lights on at 10.30pm on Saturday.

The driver, aged 41, failed to stop for a marked police car in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, before making off on the A5183 towards Markyate on the Hertfordshire border with the police car in pursuit.

It veered off the road near the village of Caddington, southwest of Luton, and smashed into a tree. No other vehicles were involved. The officers carried out first aid but the driver was pronounced dead shortly before 11.30pm.

His next of kin have been informed. Bedfordshire Police made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which has since launched an investigation.

Smile, everyone is on camera as Carnival hits 60

Beady eyes: Facial-recognition tech at street party

STEEL drums echoed across west London yesterday as revellers in spectacular costumes flocked to the streets for the Notting Hill Carnival.

The historic Caribbean event, held annually over the August Bank Holiday weekend, is marking its 60th year and two million partygoers are expected to attend over the two days.

Facial recognition cameras – which scan profiles of attendees to alert police to known or wanted individuals – are part of a huge security operation with 7,000 Met officers and staff on duty. More than 3,000 stew-

ards – double the usual number – have also been deployed after crowd-control responsibilities were transferred from Scotland Yard to event organisers following an extra £4.66million grant announced by London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan.

Crime at the Carnival has continued to rise year-on-year. Last year saw a record-breaking number of arrests.

Susan Hall, leader of the Conservative group at the London Assembly, called on Khan to 'get a grip on this... before more people are injured or die needlessly'.

At last! Dolly set for her first ever UK number 1 hit

By Jennifer Ruby Showbusiness News Editor

FROM pop stars and politicians to Oscar-winners and authors, the world has been mourning the loss Dolly Parton.

Now nearly a week on from her death at 80, it seems the country music icon could posthumously achieve something that eluded her in life - a UK number one single.

Following a tragic battle with cancer, the singer's track 9 To 5 has surged up the charts and looks set to be in the top spot on Friday.

The song peaked at No47 in the UK after its release in 1980.

But according to the Official Charts Company, it reached number 12 last week and over the weekend gained even more momentum to take the top spot, with Ms Parton's song Jolene, first released in 1974, at number two.

Based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports, such is the appetite for the country star's songs that 9 To 5 will remain at the summit until Friday, the Official Charts Company said.

In a career that spanned six decades and saw her win 11 Grammy

Awards, Ms Parton never topped the charts in the UK. The song 9 To 5 was written and recorded by the singer to accompany the film of the same name that starred Ms Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. It earned her an Oscar nomination

'True grace and true grit'

for Best Original Song as well as three Grammy nominations, including Song of the Year. The comedy film, about three co-workers who plot revenge on their sexist boss, was Ms Parton's film debut and cemented her star status in Hollywood. Her impact on the music world was clear last week when industry heavyweights paid tribute to her and credited her with inspiring them in their own careers.

Taylor Swift described her 'true grace and true grit, all in one dazzling person' and said that 'a world without Dolly doesn't feel possible, real, or right'. Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Paul McCartney were some of the other music stars to declare the impact the singer had on their lives.

Barack Obama and Bridgerton author Julia Quinn have also paid tribute to Ms Parton.

Oscar winner Ms Fonda said that she was 'devastated' by her death.

Top spot: Dolly Parton

Jewish anger over tribute to Galliano

NEXT year's Met Gala in New York could be rescheduled in a row over its decision to honour British fashion designer John Galliano - 15 years on from him making an anti-Semitic tirade.

The fashion fundraiser is due to be held on May 3 which is also Yom HaShoah, the Jewish day of Holocaust remembrance.

Religious leaders are said to be furious over a planned tribute to Galliano, 65, at the gala. Patrons have reportedly threatened to rescind gifts.

His career crashed in 2011 after footage emerged of his anti-Semitic rant at a Paris cafe, saying: 'I love Hitler, he is wonderful.' He spent years making amends, apologising and working with Jewish figures, and in 2014 returned to the fashion world with Maison Margiela.

The gala's chairman Anna Win-tour defended honouring him, saying his career should not be defined by a single moment.

Iceland votes to stay out of EU as public rejects closer ties with Brussels

By Joe Rossiter and David Wilcock

ICELAND has voted against resuming talks to rejoin the European Union in a major blow to Brussels' expansion plans.

The 'No' campaign won 52.8 per cent of the ballot as the country's population of 400,000 rejected the chance to join the 27-nation bloc.

Reform leader Nigel Farage was among the first to congratulate Icelanders for voting ‘to keep their independence’ yesterday.

Iceland first applied to join the EU in 2009 following a financial crisis, but talks were put on hold in 2013 after a Eurosceptic government came to power.

The current administration in capital Reykjavik billed the referendum as a 'now-or-never' moment that would shield the nation from trade wars and Arctic rivalry.

Brussels was said to have been keen to welcome a new ‘wealthy member’ and had even outlined a willingness to compromise on thorny issues to facilitate accession.

The key points of contention centred on sovereignty and Iceland's fishing industry, over which the country wanted to retain exclusive control. Iceland's fishing sector fiercely opposed resuming talks, with 90 per cent thought to have been against joining.

Free-thinkers: 'No' voters in Reykjavik

The war in Ukraine and Donald Trump's ambitions to take over neighbouring Greenland – which the US President has confused with Iceland on multiple occasions – also featured in discussions.

EU enlargement commissioner Marta Kos said: 'Iceland's unique specificities on fisheries and agriculture are well known. They would have to be carefully considered. I'm confident that, together with EU member states, we would find creative solutions.' 'Yes' campaigners argued joining Brussels could ease interest rates and offer the island greater security, while 'No' voters were keen to maintain Iceland's independence.

The country is a member of the European Economic Area and part of the free-movement Schengen zone, both of which will remain unchanged by the vote.

Icelandic prime minister Kristrun Frostadottir told voters in August that a 'no' would put all EU speculation aside.

Though the referendum was non-binding, Ms Frostadottir's coalition government – led by her pro-EU Social Democrats – promised to respect the result.

It means that Iceland will stay out of the EU until at least 2028, when the current prime minister's mandate comes to an end. Ms Frostadottir said yesterday: 'This is a great day. We've been waiting years to have a vote.'

Brussels had hoped to be able to present Icelandic membership as an example of positive enlargement that could also make it more palatable for member states to agree to take in poorer countries such as Montenegro.

It would also have enabled the EU to enlarge its presence in the strategic Arctic region and perhaps turn some heads in ultra-wealthy non-EU member Norway.

Comment - Page 16

WHY was anyone surprised? Iceland is a wealthy and successful country. It had nothing to gain from joining the declining EU.

A country with a proud and ancient parliamentary tradition does not lightly submit to a supranational technocracy. The nation with perhaps the best-managed fish stocks in the world does not surrender to a bloc that has drained its own seas.

Icelanders have voted by 52.8 per cent to 47.2 per cent not to restart accession negotiations with the EU. They made their first application in 2009, in the wake of the banking crash, which hit Iceland hard.

But they dropped it in 2015, once it had become clear that Iceland had recovered from the financial crisis much faster than the EU had, largely because it was wise enough not to bail out its banks.

If a nation this small can proudly go it alone, why would ANYONE want to reverse Brexit?

by Daniel Hannan

I was never in any doubt about the outcome. I know Iceland well, having been a regular visitor to that strip of cold black tundra since I was 19. I count the leaders of the 'No' campaign as good friends and I see the country as a second home.

I have stood many times at the site of their first parliament, the Thingvellir. Icelanders used to gather there from all over the island, riding their sturdy little horses over black lava fields and bright green moss, meeting as a free people.

They are unlike us in some ways. Few of them have surnames, they build their roads to avoid elfmounds – said to be the dwellings of magical beings – and their language has barely changed in 1,000 years. But they resemble us in their stubbornness.

They hate being told what to do, especially by foreigners.

I was unusual in predicting a 'No'. Opinion polls showed a narrow but consistent lead for the pro-EU side and, as the votes came in, wide-eyed Europhiles, buoyed by early results from Reykjavik, were getting excited.

Why? Because, deep down, they think European integration is inevitable, in the same way Marxists used to believe that socialism was inevitable. Take away the sense of inexorability and the flaws become painfully visible.

There is scant enthusiasm for EU membership other than among the impoverished states of south-eastern Europe, such as Montenegro, Macedonia and Moldova. Even Turkey has lost interest in joining. In Norway, polls suggest that opposition to membership has risen to around 70 per cent.

In these countries, EU membership is seen purely in cost-benefit terms. In Britain, a decade on from the 2016 referendum, it remains a culture war. A knot of Continuity Remainers who don't know or care much about what is happening in the EU, are still obsessed with overturning our own referendum result.

Why? Because, for them, it is less about the EU than about defeating an imagined domestic enemy, a caricatured racist.

They have stuck to their rejoinery for a decade, despite the EU adopting much harsher immigration laws than Britain, because they are anti-Eurosceptic rather than pro-Brussels.

It is true that Iceland has a closer relationship with the EU than we do. Membership of the European Economic Area means that it is in the single market for everything except agriculture and fisheries – though, importantly, Iceland is outside the customs union and has signed several trade deals that the EU does not have, including with large economies such as China and Indonesia.

There is an argument for Britain moving closer to the single market. But it needs to be done in a ruthlessly calculating manner, signing up for things only when there are clear mutual benefits rather than approaching talks in a spirit of penitence and atonement. Sadly, as the reaction here to Iceland's welcome decision shows, we are a long way from that.

Still, the question remains. If a nation with a population the size of Croydon's is content to take its chances alone, what are we so scared of?

Father killed by falling sign at Christian festival named

By Katherine Lawton

THE father and pastor who was killed by a falling sign during high winds at a Christian music festival has been named.

Robert Guanco, 41, below, died when a wooden archway gave way at the Big Church Festival in Steyning, West Sussex, on Friday. Six other people were injured, with four taken to hospital.

Mr Guanco, from Eastbourne, East Sussex, was a pastor at the town's Jesus Living Water Church. The church said: 'Pastor Robert was a faithful servant of God, a loving husband to Isay,

a devoted and caring father to Ellie and a blessing to so many people whose lives he touched.'

Fred Abbott, from Morden, south London, was just yards away

with his family when a 'strong gust of wind' toppled the sign. 'We heard this crack and bang, and my friend and I ran over. There were around 30 to 50 people, including me and my friend, picking up this sign,' Mr Abbott said. 'There were five people on the floor and not moving.' Big Church Festival said it was 'devastated' at the death.

Detective Chief Superintendent Richard McDonagh, of Sussex Police, said: 'I recognise the immense distress this will have caused and we are working with a number of partners as we seek to establish exactly what happened.'

Two missing after fishing boat rescue

A MAJOR rescue mission was under way yesterday for two people from a fishing vessel 'in distress' in the English Channel after coastguards pulled three others from the water.

An ‘intensive search’ southwest of Eddystone Lighthouse near Plymouth began after a call was made from the troubled boat to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) at 6pm on Saturday evening.

A rescue helicopter and lifeboats from Plymouth and Falmouth RNLI were deployed.

HM Coastguard in Falmouth confirmed three people aboard the boat - reportedly of French origin - were rescued and taken to hospital but said two were 'unaccounted for'.

More than 15 vessels were involved in the search, working alongside aircraft.

Moderate to rough conditions were expected off the coast of Plymouth last night.

NEPAL FLOOD HORROR

We survived by just 10 seconds after our hero head teacher's last-minute warning

Quick thinking: Rajendra Dawadi

By Katherine Lawton

A HEROIC teacher saved the lives of more than 1,600 children in the Nepal floods before their school was washed away by a landslide.

Rajendra Dawadi, the head teacher of Tribhuvan Trishuli secondary school in northern Nepal, received a phone call from a friend on Wednesday morning telling him a village five miles upstream had been destroyed by the flood.

Nine hundred children had already arrived at the school, while 700 more were on their way on foot and by bus.

The devastating landslides and flash floods killed 794 people, while 2,500 are missing. Two teenagers – a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy – are among 48 British nationals believed to be unaccounted for.

Yunisha Amatya, a 16-year-old pupil at Tribhuvan Trishuli, said she and her friends 'survived by just ten seconds'.

English teacher Mr Dawadi, 47, began by calling the drivers of the buses – getting through to all but one – and ordering them to turn back.

The water had already started entering the school grounds when he spotted the last bus, which he told to turn around. 'It got to the other side just as

'One girl had a panic attack'

the bridge collapsed,' he told The Times. Mr Dawadi then turned his focus to the children inside the school, who had realised they were in danger.

'One girl had a panic attack, so we put her on the back of a motorbike. The rest I sent uphill on foot, then followed,' the teacher said.

The terrified children ran up the hill, where they took shelter under a bodhi tree. As they were running to higher ground, Mr Dawadi could see a hostel building about 100 yards from the river being engulfed by water.

His quick thinking saved 1,643 children and all but one member of staff. Santos Pariyar, 32, a social history teacher who was new at the school, had gone in early that day to teach extra classes and was washed away by the floods.

Yunisha described running up a narrow route behind the school with other children, telling the BBC: 'Within no time, the bazaar was swept away in front of my eyes.'

She said her family spent hours trying to contact her. Her mother Sabina Shrestha said: 'I was panicking. I tried multiple calls to my daughter and her father, but both were not reachable.'

More than 3,700 people have been rescued in Nepal so far. Last night, the Nepal army inserted a pipe into a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric site where workers are understood to be trapped.

The countries home minister, Sudan Gurung, said: 'We have already started sending air through the small opening, and we will now begin excavation

48 Britons missing as mass burials begin

FORTY-EIGHT British nationals are missing following the flash flooding disaster on the Nepal-Tibet border as China yesterday added 15 to the total.

Chinese authorities have been accused of suppressing the true scale of the devastation in Tibet by censoring footage of the devastation. In its first detailed update about the 546 people it

Nepalese authorities said 33 Britons were missing on their side of the border, with the official death toll now approaching 800, with 2,500 missing.

Officials said they had identified only 20 of the 794 victims as they prepared to bury bodies in mass graves before it is confirmed who they were. The Nepal government has ordered that all unidentified and unclaimed bodies be buried in mass graves after DNA samples are taken from them in the hope they can be identified at a later date.

One official told the Daily Mail: 'We have to do this to prevent a public health crisis. They will be given dignified burials, and we will take photographs of the bodies and DNA samples.'

It came amid fears that fresh flooding could strike Nepal as water levels rise in the Bhotekoshi River, which runs through Nepal and Tibet.

work and send the rescue team inside.' More than 100 workers could still be alive inside the tunnels, with rescue efforts focused on the Trishuli 3A and 3B sites.

The chunk of ice and rock said to have snapped off and triggered the flash floods had an estimated area of nearly 50 acres, according to Daniel Shugar, a geomorphologist at the University of Calgary. It plunged 1,300 yards down the north face of Langtang Lirung peak into the upper gorge of the

Lhende Khola river, near the Tibetan border.

Authorities in Nepal warned of possible fresh flooding yesterday after water levels rose in the Bho- tekoshi River. Locals were sent warnings on their phones as rescue crews worked to clear a major highway connecting Kathmandu to one of the areas worst hit by Wednesday's catastrophic floods.

In the town of Galchhi, residents sought higher ground and watched as the river swept through.

Your country does not need you ... as Army rejects 200 new recruits a day

By Katherine Lawton

THE Army is rejecting more than 200 applicants every day – despite failing to hit annual recruitment targets since 2010.

Almost 74,000 candidates were turned away in 2024-25, a 20,000 increase on the previous year.

More than 32,000 were rejected on medical grounds for conditions such as psoriasis, diabetes or a serious food allergy, while 360 were denied for having tattoos or piercings.

And 22,000 from Commonwealth countries were denied due to a rule which limits foreign recruits to 1,350 per year.

The annual recruitment target is estimated to be about 11,000 – the number needed to replace troops leaving the Armed Forces.

The size of the Army is at its smallest level since the Napoleonic era, with just 75,000 full-time trained soldiers, and the shortage comes as Russian threats towards the UK intensify after British drones were used in attacks by Ukraine.

In the 2023-24 financial year, the Army failed to reach its target of 10,450 troops by nearly 4,000.

The Government's strategic defence review, published in June last year, advised increasing personnel to 76,000 when funding is possible. Tory defence spokesman James Cartlidge said Britain needed a Government 'willing to commit to funding more recruits right now'.

He accused Labour of kicking plans for higher personnel numbers 'into the long grass', adding: 'With Russia ramping up its threats every day, Labour needs to be growing the Armed Forces and strengthening our deterrence.'

Applicants are still being rejected for tattoos and piercings despite the Army relaxing the rules more than ten years ago.

Tattoos on the head and face are still considered 'unacceptable', while ink portraying 'sex acts, violence or illegal drugs' and piercings which 'change the way you look' are not permitted. It comes amid claims that Russia has singled out a drone factory in Britain as a 'legal tar-

get'. A senior adviser to Vladimir Putin said the 'highest levels of the Russian government' were considering a 'hybrid attack', such as sabotage or arson, rather than a military strike that would unleash a response from Nato.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Andrei Fedorov, a former Russian deputy foreign minister, described the UK as 'evil number one'. Among the Kremlin's targets is a drone factory owned by a British-Ukrainian firm, Ukrspecsystems.

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said: 'The reckless rhetoric and attempts at intimidation we have seen from the Kremlin in recent weeks reflects the weakness of Vladimir Putin's position.'

The Minister of Defence was contacted for comment.

Healey G20 bid to calm Budget fears

By Christian Calgie

JOHN Healey landed in the US yesterday ahead of efforts to persuade international allies he is serious about cutting debt.

He will hold a series of meetings at the G20 summit in Asheville, North Carolina, in his first foreign trip as Chancellor.

Before touching down, the Treasury said he would insist that his approach 'rests in fiscal discipline' in a further bid to calm pre-Budget fears Andy Burnham will indulge in a high-tax, high-spend splurge.

But his trip was overshadowed by reports this weekend that he is looking at another tax raid on North Sea oil. The sector already bears a 78 per cent tax on profits following Rachel Reeves' extension of a windfall levy to 2030.

Yesterday, Russell Borthwick, of the Chamber of Commerce in Aberdeen, warned that yet another tax raid will cripple an industry 'which Britain cannot afford to lose'.

Putin rallies ally as fears grow of Russian attack on Nato member

VLADIMIR Putin met Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko over the weekend amid growing fears of an attack on Nato.

While publicly released comments from the pair focused on trade and technology links, the Russian president and his Belarusian henchman are likely to have discussed their 'common problem' of Ukraine.

The crunch talks came after rising concerns about a possible attack on Nato by the Kremlin which it is thought may have prompted CIA director John Ratcliffe's sudden flight to Moscow last week.

It was reported last month that Putin was plotting an armed incursion into Poland in a bid to scare the western alliance into dropping its fervent support for

which we're facing in southern Belarus and western Russia. It's a real problem, but we'll solve it, no matter how much some people might want it,' he said.

Fighting talk: Lukashenko and Putin at meeting in Moscow

'the escalation from Russia's side is progressing' and 'the next six months will be decisive'.

After speaking to Nato general secretary Mark Rutte, Mr Tusk said: 'As I have been warning, the escalation from Russia's side is progressing. Ukraine needs greater air support, which is also crucial for our security. This is a task for all of Europe. The next six months will be decisive, and we must be prepared as Poland and Nato for various scenarios.

'We cannot rule out provocations from Russia against one of Nato's members.'

Just last week Mr Ratcliffe flew to Moscow to warn Putin against any attack on a Nato country. Mr Ratcliffe floated the possibility of a summit between Donald Trump, Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky, sources told Axios.

The warnings come as reports suggest Putin is considering a last-ditch attempt to gain military supremacy in Ukraine.

The 73-year-old Russian leader is said to be considering enlisting 300,000 new troops to plough into the country's 'meat-grinder' frontline against Ukrainian soldiers, as well as increasing sabotage tactics against Nato.

Was this man a knight of William the Conqueror?

By Xantha Leatham Executive Science Editor

A STOCKY, battle-scarred man who lived through one of the most dramatic periods in English history has been brought back to life nearly 1,000 years after his death – by having his face digitally reconstructed.

Scientists analysed the Norman Conquest skeleton buried at St Peter's Church in Barton-

died in the late 11th Century and stood just over 5ft (152cm) tall.

His DNA suggests ancestry from continental Europe, while his burial included Scandinavian traditions. 'I've been fascinated by this individual for 20 years,' said Kevin Booth of English Heritage. 'Who was he, what did he experience, could he have been at the Battle of Hastings?'

EXCLUSIVE By Cameron Charters

A BRITISH Olympic oarsman bravely stopped a boat skipper from ramming into other rowers yesterday after he went berserk on a river.

Jack Beaumont was on the Thames with other Maidenhead Rowing Club members when the chaos unfolded early in the morning.

The cruiser owner had begun charging into single rowing boats, known as sculls, in his 18ft-long boat when Tokyo silver medallist Mr Beaumont, 32, asked him what he was doing.

The owner of the boat, understood to be called the Mayfair Lady, then accelerated towards Mr Beaumont.

Footage obtained by the Daily Mail shows him unleashing a volley of verbal abuse at Mr Beaumont, calling him a 'c***' and telling him to 'shut your f***** mouth'.

He then reversed in an apparent bid to ram the athlete's scull.

Mr Beaumont, who won silver in the men's quadruple sculls at the Olympics in 2021, skilfully rowed away from the danger and then lured the skipper away from frightened rowers further down the river.

The boater is understood to have circled around rowers before taking

'This could have been fatal'

aim at at least two sculls for ramming. Thames Valley Police have arrested a 67-year-old man from Windsor on suspicion of 'threats to kill and using a watercraft in a manner that endangered a structure or individual'.

One rower who witnessed the incident said: 'I was a couple of hundred yards away, going upstream. I saw that there was a speedboat owner pulling out from the bank.

'He charged over and rammed a rowing boat and the man in it nearly went in [the water]. This is someone in a power boat running somebody over, which is highly dangerous.'

The rower continued: 'Jack [Beaumont] shouted out, "What are you doing?" The man on the speed-boat then started effing and blinding at Jack and tried to ram Jack in his boat. This could have been life-threatening, if not fatal.'

Fearless: Jack Beaumont confronted the boat owner

Furious: The man was said to have sworn at Mr Beaumont

It is understood the boat owner sometimes lives on his craft and has previously argued with members of Maidenhead Rowing Club.

He was heard shouting at Mr Beaumont from his deck: 'I did nothing wrong. You f***ers think you own the water.' The skipper revved his engine and yelled that he would 'ram' something down

Mr Beaumont's throat. A source said: 'Jack lured the speedboat away from the rowers. You have to wonder what could have happened if there wasn't someone as able as Jack on hand. If the rowers were only taking their first lessons it could have been so much worse.'

Mr Beaumont, who has raced for Maidenhead Rowing Club, broke his back in 2015 in a career-threatening injury during a training session with

Team GB in Portugal. However, he went on to compete in the quadruple sculls at the Rio Olympics in 2016 after being called up as a last-minute replacement for Graeme Thomas, who had fallen ill. The team finished in fifth place. He retired from international rowing in 2021 after the Tokyo Games.

Mr Beaumont's father, Peter, is also an Olympic oarsman, coming fourth in the men's eight event at the 1988 Games in Seoul. Maidenhead Rowing Club, founded in 1876, forms part of an exclusive neighbourhood dubbed

Tom Dean. Television host Sir Michael Parkinson, who died in 2023, also lived there.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said yesterday: 'A 67-year-old man from Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, threats to kill, a Section 4 Public Order Act offence, common assault, and using a watercraft in a manner that endangered a structure or individual. He remains in police custody while the investigation continues.'

Maidenhead Rowing Club said: 'We regard this as a serious and dangerous incident. The safety of everyone on the water is our priority, and behaviour of this kind is entirely unacceptable.'

Drought... what drought? Met Office issues rain alerts

Daily Mail Reporter

FOLLOWING months of sweltering heat and drought, rain warnings were issued yesterday as the heavens opened.

Yellow alerts put out by the Met Office warned of up to 1.5in (4cm) in some areas.

Forecasters said heavy showers and thunderstorms could affect driving conditions and cause public transport delays.

Seven areas were also covered by Environment Agency flood alerts, including the River Stour in Worcestershire and the Fal estuary in Cornwall.

It comes after music fans at the Reading Festival sheltered under ponchos and umbrellas during downpours on Friday and Saturday. Despite this, the UK is on course for its hottest summer following five heat-waves, with 38.1C (100.6F) recorded in London.

Why we're all nuts about pistachio green this year

Daily Mail Reporter

SO FAR, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of artificial intelligence, drought ... and, if you're a trend spotter, pistachio.

Britons asked which colour best defines this year's mood chose butter yellow, sage green and chocolate brown among others.

But when it came to the crunch, the one they were most nutty about was pistachio.

Some 62 per cent said they had noticed it more in their daily lives, from food and drink, to fashion, interiors and social media posts, according to a poll of 2,000 adults. Annika Bizon, of Samsung, which commissioned the survey, said: 'Colour has an incredible ability to capture a moment.

We remember the shades of the clothes we wore, the interiors we loved ... and together they become part of how we picture an era.

'Pistachio feels particularly right for 2026 because we're seeing this fresh, expressive shade in so many different parts of culture.'

Daily Mail COMMENT

Freeing cruel thugs is never the answer

THE notion of PC Andrew Harper's killers being released early from jail will appal all right-thinking people.

But it clearly hasn't dawned on Andy Burnham that freeing inmates held under Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) orders is an equally repugnant prospect.

This move is particularly worrying for domestic violence victims whose tormentors are locked up under IPP legislation. The knowledge that their abusers could soon be free to inflict further physical and psychological pain will be a cause of almost unimaginable distress.

The Prime Minister has outlined his plans in only sketchy detail. But it already looks like a textbook example of ordinary people bearing the brunt of government failures.

Putting vicious offenders back on the streets is an unacceptable answer to insufficient space in the penal system. The obvious solution would be to create temporary accommodation until a proper prison-building programme can be launched.

Given that 'Nightingale' hospitals were quickly set up to deal with additional pressure on the health service during the Covid crisis, is there anything to stop Labour taking a similar approach to the emergency in our jails?

It is also clear the PM has been making it up as he goes along. After previously insisting that the release of PC Harper's killers could not be stopped, he changed his position when the extent of the outrage became apparent.

Little wonder one of his own ministers now says he 'bowed to public pressure'. His handling of the situation certainly suggests he is far more interested in being liked than he is in governing in a purposeful manner.

And therein lies the biggest irony of all. While there are many ways of courting popularity, the PM is likely to find that releasing dangerous criminals with a history of violence against women isn't one of them.

Totally indefensible

NOTHING we have seen so far indicates the Burnham government has the political judgment required to run the country. Nowhere is this more apparent than in ministers' approach to the most fundamental responsibility of any administration – the defence of the realm.

The threat from Russia is growing by the day. Vladimir Putin is acting in an increasingly aggressive manner towards the West. British defence companies have been warned they could be targeted.

Yet there is no sign of any urgency on the Government's part in making Britain safe from the overseas threat. The prospects of spending on defence rising to 3 per cent of GDP by the 2030 deadline are dimmer than ever. New figures show that Army chiefs turned away more than 200 would-be recruits every day last year.

The PM may well think that splurging public funds on gimmicks and vanity projects is a clever idea. But £2 bus fares won't be much good to anyone when Putin starts flexing his muscles in our direction.

Well done, Iceland

CONGRATULATIONS to the people of Iceland for voting against resuming talks to join the EU. Unsurprisingly, Brussels was said to have been keen to welcome a 'wealthy' new member to the bloc.

Not only would Icelanders have effectively given up their independence by joining, they would – like Britons before them – have also ended up contributing far more in monetary terms than they could have ever hoped to receive in return.

It's now quite clear Andy Burnham lacks the strength and will needed to take the tough decisions our country needs

THE mist is clearing, and we can at last see the figure of Andy Burnham stumbling across the bog as he really is.

If you had hoped that he is a man of action, someone who knows his own mind and is good at making hard decisions, you are going to be disappointed.

Our new Prime Minister, who no one other than the voters of Makerfield elected, turns out to be all talk and no trousers, as they say in the North, of which Andy has absurdly been styled 'King'.

Yesterday he went on BBC1 Breakfast to reveal his latest thoughts about the early release of prisoners. You'd think he was Bismarck from all the fuss they were making of him. He told us that he had 'spent the summer turning over every single stone'. Heroic work, then.

In fact, he was only putting right a problem of Labour's own making, which a more astute politician would have spotted weeks ago. The Government no longer intends to let prisoners convicted of manslaughter out of jail early. This category includes two of the killers of PC Andrew Harper. Good.

Ducked

But, although Mr Burnham did not mention this, some stalkers and domestic abusers currently in jail under a scheme called Imprisonment for Public Protection will be free to walk our streets.

What has he actually achieved in the six weeks since he wrested the seals of office from Sir Keir Starmer? Very little. He has ducked, and continues to duck, the three main issues facing the country: defence, soaring welfare costs and uncontrolled immigration.

To be sure, there have been feel-good announcements that almost no one will disagree with. The PM has pledged to end 'rough sleeping', preferably by Christmas. (Will he?) Bus fares will be slightly cheaper. He has shaved a few pounds off our energy bills.

There has also been lots of talk about devolution – more controversial, perhaps, given that so far devolution has hardly been a runaway success – but he has been vague enough not to upset many people.

We have had these motherhood-and-apple-pie policies from our likeable new Prime Minister, who is rarely photographed without a smile on his face. Whereas Starmer resembled an ill-at-ease undertaker, Burnham reminds me of the enthusiastic coach of an under-10s football team.

Defence is the most glaring omission. A week ago Burnham was in Kyiv, gushing support for President Zelensky, and promising to share classified blueprints so that Ukraine can build its own Storm Shadow missiles.

He certainly succeeded in goading the Kremlin, which claimed he would 'add fuel to the fire', and threatened to strike British military targets. Thank God, I thought, that the Government is about to increase our inadequate defence budget.

But then it was reported that, despite all Burnham's brave talk in Kyiv, the new Chancellor won't be announcing a rise in military spending to 3 per cent of GDP in his Budget on October 28.

John Healey resigned as Defence Secretary in June because Starmer wouldn't commit himself to 3 per cent. Now that he is ensconced in the Treasury, with Andy Burnham breathing down his neck, he is singing an entirely different tune.

by Stephen Glover

A pathway to 3 per cent will be set out in next year's spending review. In other words, Burnham and Healey are kicking the issue into the adjoining field even while the PM is playing the dangerous game of tweaking Putin's tail.

This really is a disgraceful dereliction at a time when Nato allies such as Poland and Germany are rapidly increasing their defence spending. What hope is there for us if the Prime Minister is unable to make up his mind on a matter of national security?

It is a similar story on welfare reform, which is likely to be delayed until next year at the earliest, according to leaks. Burnham once more can't decide what to do. He knows that many Labour backbenchers don't want the spiralling welfare budget to be reined in.

No 10 is happy to wait for two reviews of the welfare state, one by Sir Stephen Timms, the social security minister, the other by former Labour Cabinet minister Alan Milburn. Sir Stephen is the sort of chap who would fill out a form in triplicate on hearing the word 'Fire!'

The third issue about which the Prime Minister has done or said virtually nothing is mass immigration. Some Labour MPs like to give the impression that this has been sorted out. It hasn't.

Home Office data released last week show that a record number of immigrants were granted indefinite leave to remain (ILR) in the year to June 2026, as foreign nationals who arrived during the last Tory administration sought to settle here permanently.

Migrants

In the three months to June 2026 alone, 140,122 immigrants were granted ILR or citizenship. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood wants to make most migrants wait ten rather than five years to obtain ILR, and even longer for lower-paid foreign workers or refugees.

This seems to be a case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Ms Mahmood's reforms probably won't see the light of day because they are opposed by many Labour MPs, led by Angela Rayner, who has described them as unBritish.

Shall we guess what our dithering PM will do?

I grant that, after Sir Keir Starmer, Mr Burnham is in some ways a breath of fresh air. But prime ministers are not in the end judged by their ability to ventilate a room.

Burnham runs away from difficult decisions. He runs towards eye-catching ones. Hence his latest idea to ban trade with settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Since the settlers are among the most unpopular people on Earth (even Benjamin Netanyahu is increasingly critical of them) this is a policy that is likely to go down well with almost everyone. It would also have virtually nil effect. It is strictly performative.

The other day Burnham explained in a letter to MPs that he would abstain when the assisted dying Bill returns to Parliament. Fair enough. He doesn't wish to politicise a moral argument.

Warmonger

But the reason he gave was very revealing. He wrote that on the question of assisted dying 'there is no single right position'. That is an argument that abandons moral principle, and suggests that right and wrong shift around according to circumstance.

I don't doubt that, when a decision is easy and popular with his supporters, Burnham will make it. He'll raise taxes on the wealthy, who are not generally loved, and he'll probably fleece banks and oil companies for the same reason. The economy will suffer.

For a short time after Tony Blair became Labour leader in 1994, the Tories called him 'Bambi'. They didn't realise that he was at heart a warmonger, and a vandal who would tear the British constitution apart.

In Andy Burnham we have found the true Bambi, down to the doe eyes. This unelected Prime Minister who has been foisted on us, this bogus King of the North and politician without a backbone, lacks the strength and will to make the hard decisions for which this country is crying out.

THE timing of Sarah Ferguson's return to the UK, after seven months of living under the radar in other people's houses across Europe and in the Gulf states, is no accident.

My bomb-proof sources tell me the disgraced former Duchess of York was well aware that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were plotting their own move back to Britain, despite a campaign of secrecy so effective that the public announcement came as a complete shock to almost everyone.

In other words, Ferguson knew what was going on and she laid her own plans accordingly.

How did she find out? It's significant that, four weeks ago, younger daughter Princess Eugenie gave birth to her third child, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. It seems certain Ferguson has visited Eugenie and husband Jack at their home in Portugal following the baby's arrival, despite keeping out of view since she and ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor were evicted from Windsor's Royal Lodge in February.

Indeed, well-placed sources suggest that at one stage she was pleading to be given a free run of the secluded Portuguese home, so she could come and go when she pleased. That was a request too far for the Brooksbanks, who have no wish to see their bolthole under siege from paparazzi.

But Ferguson has been welcomed as a guest by her daughter – and so have the Sussexes. Possibly Meghan and Harry confided their plans to Eugenie, telling her they intended sending their two children, Archie and Lilibet, to private schools in the Cotswolds.

More likely, I feel, is that Meghan revealed the plan to Ferguson herself. She has two sound reasons for doing so. First, both women have existed in a state of open warfare with the Palace

Fergie got away with blatantly flouting rules

machine for years. Very few people on the planet have personal experience of what that's like, and both will benefit by sharing their notes.

More than that, Meghan has long regarded Ferguson as an example of how it's possible to exist half-in, half-out of the Royal Family, trading on title and tradition to make money, especially in the States.

All the time she was a duchess, Ferguson was able to get away with blatantly flouting the rules - flogging her smoothie-blenders on QVC, appearing in adverts for Ocean Spray cranberry juice, and promoting Weight Watchers, while still living in a Crown property and brazenly showing up in the Royal Box at Wimbledon or Ascot. Even if Meghan didn't confide all her plans, she will have dropped enough hints to convince the older woman that this was a good moment to emerge from cover.

It's a general rule that, however insatiable the public's appetite for royal gossip, there's almost never room for more than one story at a time in the headlines.

That's why the Palace diary fixers work so assiduously to ensure royal engagements and announcements do not clash – and why there's so much resentment among courtiers when Harry and Meghan crash the limelight by staging an unofficial royal tour in

AUTHOR OF ENTITLED: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE HOUSE OF YORK

Africa or Australia. Ferguson knows how to make this work in her favour.

All the public attention this week, and probably for most of September, will be on the Sussexes: where are they house-hunting; which schools have they favoured and, most intriguingly, how long is Meghan going to remain in the UK with her family before dashing back to California?

That leaves limited media time for questions about where Ferguson is going to live and how she will pay the rent.

Many have assumed she is spending the money left to her by her former boyfriend and sugar daddy, the F1 tycoon Paddy McNally, who died in July aged 88 – or, at least, borrowing money in anticipation of a bequest, once probate is granted.

But I'm told this is not the case. Whatever income she has is coming from the Gulf states, from an unknown benefactor, in all likelihood a high-ranking member of a Middle Eastern royal family. McNally did help her out when she first became homeless, allowing her to stay at his home in Verbier, Switzerland, once known as 'the Cocaine Castle'.

Her welcome soon wore thin.

Ferguson is not a woman to accept one gift without asking for more, as the world saw for itself when her money-grubbing email exchanges with billionaire financier and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were published.

McNally grew heartily sick of her, and apparently left her nothing at all in his multi-million pound will. This must have been a bitter blow and helps explain why she didn't bother to attend his funeral in Wiltshire earlier this month, sending her daughter Beatrice instead.

Yet reliable rumours suggest she has her sights set on a six-bedroom house in a gated community in the Home Counties, for a rent of £10,000 a month. And she appears ready to move in immediately, since the place undoubtedly comes fully furnished.

She also has crates of personal possessions in a London storage unit, though reports that more furniture has been stored by Andrew at his Sandringham lodgings, the cramped and shabby Marsh Farm, are less likely to be true.

Ferguson's relationship with her ex-husband is, in fact, at a low ebb of mutual recrimination and distrust. He knows she has been peddling herself around TV production companies and publishers in the US, and she has already turned down a \$1 million offer for an exclusive interview, in the hope of an even bigger payday. She has little left to lose – her reputation is in shreds.

A tell-all memoir about her friendship with Epstein could command a colossal advance, if

She could now tell the police everything

she is prepared to betray her ex-husband comprehensively.

She must always have known what went on during his visits to Epstein's homes and private island: the array of sex toys on display in every room and the photographs of naked, very young women on the walls were impossible to ignore, according to multiple witnesses.

Of course she is mindful of the need not to incriminate herself further. She potentially faces new allegations about her relationship with Epstein with the likely unsealing of court documents in the libel case between Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell and release of further material under the Epstein Files Transparency Act in the coming weeks.

So far she has not come forward to assist Thames Valley Police and other forces with their investigations into the former Prince Andrew and his alleged misconduct – allegations which he has steadfastly refuted.

Silence will not be an option now she is returning to England. One obvious solution would be to seek a legal guarantee of indemnity, a promise that she will not be prosecuted. In return, she could tell the police everything she knows.

This could be attractive to detectives who are beginning to fear that, however much they suspect Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is guilty of both sexual and financial wrongdoing, amassing the evidence to prove it in court might be impossible.

Sarah Ferguson could well be the witness they need to change that. This unexpected return to England is her own version of Finding Freedom... and her freedom could yet spell the end of her ex-husband's.

Breast cancer survivors may not need heart drugs for life

MOST breast cancer survivors whose treatment has led to heart problems may not need medication for life, a trial suggests.

The finding is 'hugely encouraging' for thousands of patients whose heart health has been damaged by

the life-saving treatment, say experts.

Some therapies can weaken the heart, with medication then needed to protect it.

The new study, funded by the British Heart Foundation, involved 90 women at four hospitals whose hearts had recovered after a specific treatment for breast cancer.

Most were in their 40s and 50s and would have been advised to stay on heart drugs for life because their heart function could decline if they stopped.

But the researchers found 98 per cent of patients in the group who stopped taking medication had no change in heart function after a year, with just one woman developing a problem with her heart's pumping ability.

Women who came off drugs also reported a better quality of life.

Professor Charlotte Manisty, head of clinical cardiovascular science at University College London, led the trial, published in the Heart Journal. She said: 'Modern breast cancer treatment is a remarkable success story but the damaging effects of these drugs on the heart leaves survivors and doctors with difficult questions about treatment to maintain heart health.

‘We hope these findings will be encouraging for survivors and their doctors, giving hope for a future free from treatment.’

Lucy Shepherd, from Hertfordshire, said taking part in the trial left her 'feeling strong, knowing I can take on new challenges'.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer after turning 33 and tests during her care showed her heart function had declined. She was put on medication before starting another round of treatment.

medication. Being part of the trial and having the chance to come off heart medication has definitely improved my life. I'm still taking hormone therapy but I don't live with the fear I once had. It has helped me to trust my body again.'

The women in the trial will be followed up over the next five years to monitor their heart health.

Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, of the British Heart Foundation, said: 'These findings will be hugely encouraging for the thousands of survivors... The study results give hope that many women will be able to safely stop taking medicines once their heart has recovered.'

She added: 'More research is needed and the women will be followed up for longer, but in the meantime this is good news for this group of breast cancer survivors.'

Statins 'can cut risk of dementia by 15%'

Daily Mail Reporter

STATINS may reduce the risk of dementia in people with diabetes, a study has found.

Taking the cholesterol-busting pills slashed the chances of developing the condition by up to 15 per cent in type 2 diabetes patients, researchers say.

They assessed whether starting the medication soon after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

Daily Mail Defeating dementia with Alzheimer's Society

was associated with a lower risk of dementia.

They found that, over ten years, early statin initiation in men and women was associated with a 15 per cent lower relative risk of dementia, compared with no statin treatment. Late initiation was associated with a 10 per cent lower risk. Previous research has suggested that nearly half of all dementia cases could be theoretically prevented by eliminating 14 risk factors.

Study author Dr Tummas Ternhamar, of Copenhagen University Hospital, said: 'Detecting and treating high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from midlife is one such highlighted risk factor.'

He noted it could be particularly important in patients with type 2 diabetes since elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (or LDL-C) - often called 'bad' cholesterol - occurs frequently in diabetes patients, while diabetes is a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia.

Dr Ternhamar, who presented the findings at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich, Germany, said the results were similar in women and men.

Experts say that, because it was an observational study, it cannot directly prove statins prevent dementia. The Daily Mail has joined the Alzheimer's Society to increase early diagnosis and boost research into the disease.

Danger: Firefighters tackled huge wildfires this summer

To stop even worse wildfires next year, Burnham has to stand up to the rewilding zealots NOW by Ian Botham

I T'S still early days for Andy Burnham, and I wish him well in a difficult job. But so far the man who calls himself the King of the North is turning into Mr Empty. Confronted with difficult choices, he repeatedly hides behind empty gestures.

It is not just that £1,000 fake No 10 door he's had installed in his Manchester office. It is also on practical issues like preventing wildfires.

Two weeks ago, I told the Daily Mail that the Prime Minister needed to take control of wildfire prevention or lives would be lost. That same day we came too close to my fears, with 19 homes destroyed in Stourbridge in the West Midlands.

Yet instead of addressing the real issue behind the increase in the number of wildfires, which is excess vegetation, Andy Burnham hit the panic button. Literally. He freaked out the nation by using the emergency mobile phone alarm system designed to warn us of nuclear war.

For now, thankfully, rain has stopped the fires. Yet a Prime Minister of substance would already be thinking how next year's predicted Super El Nino – a natural climate phenomenon developing over the Pacific – could make for an even hotter summer.

He would also be asking his environment secretary, Angela Eagle, about that excess vegetation fuelling the fires - especially the huge volumes of it building up on our moorlands.

I feel passionately about this because I am surrounded by moors near my home in North Yorkshire, and I see policies dictated by Whitehall being imposed on my neighbours against their will.

For years, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has been reducing the number of cattle and sheep in the uplands and blocked winter burning of moorland through regulations.

Yet officials never calculated how much extra vegetation this was leaving behind.

F

ORTUNATELY the Moorland Association has done the sums: less grazing means we have 25 per

cent more highly flammable grass, and stopping winter burns has resulted in 74 per cent more dead heather. Hot summers turn all this into tinder.

The result? A six-fold increase in land burnt in the UK by wildfires over the last ten years – from 24,805 hectares between 2006 and 2015 to 151,954 between 2016 and 2025

With the climate getting hotter, we must manage vegetation. Yet inside Planet Defra, officials don't get this. They claim rewilding reduces wildfires. Clearly, the flames haven't realised.

Firefighters have though. Last year, the National Fire Chiefs Council warned Defra's restrictions threatened the lives of 'firefighters and the public'.

The truth is Defra is isolated on this – it has become Nobby No-Mates. All those who understand the issue are in favour of winter burns. The G7, the EU and the White House back them. So does the Scottish Government.

And science keeps showing that winter burns do not dry out peat - one of the core reasons for Defra's near total ban on them. Researchers at York University found burns paradoxically make the soil wetter because burning reduces the amount of vegetation, so less water is drawn out of the ground by plants. It is rewilding, in other words, that dries the peat.

This month scientists at Exeter reported that peat also survives wildfires much better on areas where the vegetation has been kept short by winter burns.

Defra's key evidence for its burning ban came in a peer-reviewed paper by Natural England published in 2025. Yet Freedom of Information requests have established that one of the reviewers of that paper admitted he could not 'pretend to have read it end to end'. Another said their 'brain could not keep track'. I find that gobsmacking. But Defra declared its evidence 'rigorous'.

Even Defra's own officials wrote a paper in 2007 saying stopping winter burns would produce 'a much increased risk' of wildfires. Which is exactly what happened.

Defra is now being mugged by reality. Yet it would feel hideously embarrassed to admit it has been wrong for so long.

And so Defra keeps on imposing rewilding on the North of England as if we were one of its colonial outposts. Ministers parrot the line that winter burns 'damage' peat, even though research emphatically says they do not, because the heat never reaches the peat.

Furthermore, if Whitehall wants to protect peat, why does its winter burning ban not cover peat in the South and East of England?

I believe it's because the Establishment Blob hates the game shooting that takes place on the moors in the North. And the chief haters are in the RSPB. They love rewilding and are relentless in their attempts to undermine shooting.

If you had a suspicious mind you might think that's because the RSPB is jealous of the vast number of birds thriving on Northern moors where gamekeepers protect them from foxes. Those moors have seen a 61 per cent increase in black grouse in the North Pennines in the last year and there are twice as many curlews on managed moorland in Teesdale as on unmanaged.

The RSPB can't keep up and so stopped publishing its annual table of bird numbers in 2012. But I have seen the raw data and it shows the charity's black grouse numbers fell 38 per cent over recent years, with ring ouzel and golden plover also sharply lower.

There is also the sad irony of how the charity's obsession with rewilding is seeing its reserves going up in smoke. And it is my gamekeeper mates who have to put out the RSPB's fires to stop them spreading onto their land. The RSPB's wildfire crisis is so bad that hundreds of professional firefighters were needed to put out three fires on their reserves – in Suffolk, the Peak District and in Scotland – this year.

Every time the RSPB persuades gullible ministers to tighten the noose around the North's rural businesses, the result is more rural depopulation with more unprotected areas. That is why the RSPB's current attempt to hoodwink ministers into licensing shooting is so important.

The RSPB wants pheasant, partridge and grouse shooting choked by Whitehall. Jumped-up officials in London would close shoots on a whim. These mandarins cannot relate to Northerners who love bagging supper and love looking after their moors.

T

HE North has to fight the Blob. And you don't get more blobby than

Oxford PPE graduates. Angela Eagle is one of them. Knowing her department is under the cosh, she wrote an article in The Guardian last week claiming that rewilding helps reduce wildfires.

Ms Eagle did not quote a single piece of scientific research. The only 'proof' she could offer that her approach works was a photo of a river valley at the National Trust's Holnicote estate in Somerset that stayed green over summer. Breaking news: trees grow near rivers.

Another Oxford PPE graduate is the Energy Secretary. Miatta Fahnbulleh's plan for the North's moors is to carpet them with 200 metre-tall wind turbines.

So Andy Burnham has some decisions to make. He has four weeks to decide on allowing preventative burns – the upland burning season begins on October 1 – or risk another winter in which vegetation will just keep growing and form next year's tinderbox.

Will he side with the Whitehall Blob? Or the North he professes to love? Will his legacy be dead firefighters and turning our moorlands into industrial landscapes? Or will he leave the empty gestures behind and get Whitehall out of the way of the North so we can flourish again?

EVEN from a young age, Asif Aziz possessed something of a theatrical swagger. Not that he acquired his nickname, Mr West End, through thespian accomplishments or because he fancied himself a theatre impresario.

Rather, it was due to his knack of gobbling up huge chunks of London's shopping and entertainment district, including the Trocadero leisure complex at Piccadilly Circus.

Today he is among the most successful property developers in the country – and arguably the most rapacious.

Every year his charitable foundation pays for a Ramadan lights display along Oxford Street, when Mr Aziz can be found hobnobbing with the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, and greeting all he meets with charm and courtesy.

Many contend that the 59-year-old billionaire's bonhomous exterior masks a rare ruthlessness. Indeed, these days he is known by a thoroughly less appealing title – Britain's meanest landlord. It was bestowed on him after he took commercial tenants to court over unpaid rent during the pandemic, though in truth it is but one item on a long charge sheet. Controversy clings to Mr Aziz like a shadow.

Only this summer he was linked to yet another row when three children living in one of his South London tower blocks were hospitalised during a heatwave after their parents were told

His £9billion empire includes London's famous Trocadero (which he planned to turn into a mosque) and gaudy 'gift stores' used to avoid tax. From closing historic pubs to threatening tenants with mass evictions, Asif Aziz is accused of being...

Britain's mean

Capital assets: Asif Aziz is landlord to London's much-loved Prince Charles cinema, left, and a string of gaudy so-called 'gift shops'

use of existing air conditioning in the building was not allowed.

And earlier this year Mr Aziz faced allegations that Criterion Capital, the firm he founded, was cynically staging 'mass evictions' at the same block ahead of the new statutory rules protecting renters against unjustified dispossessions. Even his pal, the London mayor, declared himself 'appalled' by the reports. The company denied the claims.

In addition to flats, Mr Aziz's ever-expanding £9billion property portfolio in Britain and Europe includes hospitality venues, hotels and shops.

NOW questions are being raised about the seeming unchecked power he wields and the threat it poses to, among other things, cultural and community spaces. For instance, Mr Aziz has also been accused of trying to 'bully' a much-loved London cinema out of business; buying and closing at least 30 traditional British pubs to make way for his beloved luxury apartments; and replacing London's Central YMCA, a historic community gym and health club, with a swanky hotel.

He has also faced claims that he turns a blind eye to a despicable form of tax evasion that allows tawdry 'gift shops' to spread like an ugly rash along Britain's leading shopping streets.

Yet were it not for the controversies, he might well be celebrated as a modern British success story. He was born in Malawi in 1967, where the Aziz family operated a successful clothing import company. When he was seven, they moved to London, and he attended a private school in Cheshire. Mr Aziz first began dabbling in property at the tender age of 16. Assuring an auctioneer he was two years older, he successfully bid for a £1.9 million building in South Kensington for his family's firm. 'He was this tiny, fresh-faced guy at the back of the room,' recalled the bemused auctioneer.

Over time, as well as making lots of money, he gave to numerous charitable causes. The Aziz Foundation also makes thousands of pounds worth of donations to MPs. He sees himself as 'a shining symbol of London's rich diversity – a reflection of the warmth and coexistence that make this city so extraordinary'.

Not everyone would agree. Take the residents of that tower block, for instance, Britannia Point, once dubbed Britain's ugliest building, which stands 18 storeys high in Colliers Wood in the south west of the capital. The air conditioning row followed years of complaints over maintenance issues – including broken lifts, no hot water and a window pane that fell to the ground from the 12th floor in 2022. Footage of the incident attracted national media coverage and prompted widespread condemnation. It turned out 69 windows across the tower needed replacing.

OVER the years local MP Dame Siobhain McDonagh and councillor Stuart Neaverson have fought numerous battles on behalf of Britannia's unlucky residents.

In May, 60 homeless families, who had been offered emergency accommodation in the building, allegedly had their cooling units switched off without warning. With so much glass, the 'greenhouse effect' inside the block reached apparently dangerous levels.

One mother, Sabrina Walters, 31, said: 'My youngest is one, and she was dripping with sweat. I picked her up from her chair after she had fallen asleep, and she was literally soaked. My 12-year-old was having constant nosebleeds – she had between ten and 20 within two or three days.'

Dame Siobhain raised concerns with the property management firm, Aura Assets Management, after being told by another mother in the block that she had to rush her four-year-old son to A&E after losing use of her air conditioning unit. Excessive heat caused him 'frequent nosebleeds [and] episodes of fainting'.

It might surprise some readers that the families had air con in the first place, but, as Dame Siobhain pointed out, the units were originally installed only after previous safety concerns had been raised in the building, which once became so dangerously hot that its lifts automatically shut down, as they do in the event of a fire.

In her letter to Aura Dame Siobhain wrote: 'I have now been made aware of multiple cases in which families ... have been subjected to dangerously hot conditions in their homes after losing use of air conditioning.' A message from the building reception confirmed that Ms Walters' air conditioning had been 'switched off' as the units had 'not been offered as an amenity' under the arrangements of their accommodation.

In a statement, Aura Assets Management said: 'In light of the prolonged high temperatures, we have encouraged residents to use the systems sensibly and in accordance with their individual needs, while also being mindful of potential electricity costs.

'This advice was intended solely to help residents make informed decisions about their energy consumption and should not be interpreted as discouraging the use of air conditioning for their comfort and wellbeing.'

Sources claimed the air condi-

tioning was initially turned back on only in the flats of the two parents who complained to the MP, and that residents had been quoted prices to use the units ranging from £70 for a month to £500 for the summer. Councillor

Neaverson told the Daily Mail: 'For years, Colliers Wood has been on the frontlines of learning what it's like to be near an Asif Aziz-owned property. Since his company bought Britannia Point, the problems have been non-stop and tragic. From the air conditioning being deliberately turned off for vulnerable families, leading to the hospitalisation of three children, to attempting to carry out the biggest mass eviction in London's history, his company, Criterion Capital, has made life hell for hundreds of families. And that's just the past six months.

'Sadly, Asif Aziz and Criterion's disgraceful behaviour is not just limited to Colliers Wood, but to buildings across the capital.'

Criterion Capital said decisions taken about air conditioning had been made by the leaseholders, Aura and People First Housing.

Moving on to the Trocadero, when Mr Aziz bought the building for £220million in 2005, it was a thriving entertainment space boasting 68million visitors a year. Two decades on, the stucco-fronted landmark is now a 728-room 'windowless' hotel which had planning permission for a controversial two-storey mosque in the basement, since revised to a prayer room and community centre.

Perhaps unsurprisingly Mr Aziz is publicity-shy. He spends much of his time in Abu Dhabi, which in 2024 he made his tax residency and from where he continues to squeeze his British tenants for 'every last penny', as a former colleague put it.

The 'mass evictions' scandal at Britannia Point was a striking illustration. One tenant caught up in it, Becky Vogt, works on a mental health ward at nearby St George's Hospital. She told us she received an email from Criterion Capital announcing its intention to take possession of the building, turfing out hundreds of occupants. 'It has left me feeling anxious and worried,' Ms Vogt said. Other tenants told us they received Section 21 'no-fault' eviction notices from Criterion.

A shared interest in Ramadan lights notwithstanding, Mayor Sadiq Khan said it was 'completely unacceptable for Criterion Capital to evict hundreds of people out of their homes due to no fault of their own'.

Dame Siobhain told the Daily Mail she feared Criterion Capital was planning to empty the tower – along with further residential properties across London – in order, cynically, to make ‘more money with less responsibility’ by renting to local councils looking for temporary accommodation for the homeless.

HANKFULLY, following a fierce backlash, Criterion Capital backed down, bizarrely claiming it never intended to implement mass evictions at all.

Yet the apparent retreat did little to assuage tenants' concerns. 'Rent has gone up by hundreds of pounds in the past few years and they still haven't fixed the lift,' said a 42-year-old father of two. 'It's a joke. We've been told there's been a U-turn on the evictions but I'm yet to have a visit or hear back directly from Criterion.'

For all his youthful efforts at the auction house, Mr Aziz's early property forays weren't a success. In fact he left Britain for Angola in the 1990s. There he won lucrative contracts with Nestle, Kraft and Unilever to distribute products in a country then ravaged by civil war.

He sold the company a decade later in a multi-million-pound deal.

Spotlight: Billionaire Asif Aziz, right, with mayor Sadiq Khan

However, the Lebanese buyers would later sue Mr Aziz, accusing him of inflating the value and using company expenses to buy tailored suits and even book a luxury cruise. Mr Aziz denied the claims, despite the emergence of an email in which he asked his chief accountant: 'Can we not bull**** the numbers another way?'

It was from the proceeds of this sale that he snapped up the Trocadero, later drawing criticism for his plans to turn the heritage space into a mosque – despite planning to build a casino on the same site. It was the row, though, over Mr Aziz's scheme for the much-loved Prince Charles Cinema, a four-minute walk from the Trocadero, that brought the biggest backlash. The property occupied by the cinema is owned by another of Mr Aziz's companies, Zedwell LSQ Ltd.

A YEAR ago, the cinema – described by Trainspotting director Danny Boyle as the 'ninth wonder of the world' – started a petition to save itself, claiming Zedwell and its parent company Criterion Capital were using their 'significant financial resources to intimidate us'.

A new lease put to the Prince Charles included a rent rise, a shorter agreement and – crucially – a six-month break clause, which the cinema believed Zedwell intended to activate should it get planning permission to develop a hotel on the site.

The petition garnered 100,000 signatures within 24 hours and attracted the support of Hollywood stars including actor Paul Mescal. For now, the cinema appears to be safe.

Then there are the tenants Mr Aziz does not try to evict. Last year, MP for Kensington and Bay-swater Joe Powell stood in the Commons and suggested that some gaudy so-called 'gift stores' in central London were operating a tax evasion scheme known as 'phoenixing', in which the legal owner of the downmarket shops 'vanishes' without paying tax, so allowing a new owner to take over, before soon disappearing in turn.

As a result, the store is allowed to rake in profits without paying any tax whatsoever.

Subsequent research by investigative start-up news site London Centric found that the tacky gift shops – which typically sell everything from sweets and fridge magnets to Royal Family face masks – were nominally leased by students in Bangladesh and India.

The registered business addresses were found to be overcrowded flat shares or, in one case, a car park doubling as a fly-tip.

Of all the stores investigated by London Centric, every single one had been rented from companies owned by Asif Aziz.

Landlords such as Mr Aziz have no legal obligation to monitor the tax affairs of their tenants, but the practice certainly raises questions about his moral outlook.

Mr Aziz has historically hit back against all allegations, accusing his naysayers of 'Islamophobia' and describing himself as 'an easy target'. But playing the victim is unlikely to wash. 'London is full of unique spaces, and I saw opportunities to reimagine and shape them,' he once said of his career.

The question for Londoners is whether they share the vision he seems to have in mind. And if the reaction to Britannia Point and other scandals is anything to go by, they have already delivered their resounding answer.

Antigua axes oath to King ...two months before visit

By Cameron Charters

Loyal: The King in May in Bermuda, which won't scrap the oath

ANTIGUA and Barbuda has dropped its pledge of allegiance to the King – two months before he is due to visit the Caribbean country.

Charles will now use the trip at the end of October to urge the nation to stay in the Commonwealth, without having him as head of state.

The country's decision adds pressure to the King and Queen Camilla's tour, announced last week, in which they will also visit

'Once and for all we won't swear'

the Bahamas and Guyana. They will use their trip to discuss the legacy of slavery and payment of reparations.

Ministers and new officials will swear loyalty to the state of Antigua and Barbuda. Its attorney general Sir Steadroy Benjamin said dropping the oath of loyalty was overdue.

We will once and for all finally not be swearing to His Majesty in England, his heirs and successors in England,' he said. Withdrawal of the King's name from the process of swearing in governments is a step towards removing the Royal Family from the affairs of the nation.

In 1981, Antigua and Barbuda declared independence from British rule but remained part of the Commonwealth, retaining the Queen as head of state.

However, led by republican prime minister Gaston Browne, the government has voted to remove the pledge to the British monarch. If it were to remove the British Crown entirely, the matter could be put to a public vote.

But it is unclear which way a referendum would go, with some arguing support for republicanism is not as strong as the government claims. During his trip the King, who was seen yesterday with Camilla attending church at

Church: The King and Queen at Balmoral yesterday

Balmoral, will discuss 'de-realming', in which countries stay in the Commonwealth without him as head of state.

In 2021, Charles gave a speech outlining his hope Barbados would stay a friendly country as Dame Sandra Mason became the first president and replaced the British monarch as head of state.

Antigua's decision comes after Grenada last year also removed its oath of allegiance. Not all Commonwealth nations plan to follow. The King will also visit the Bahamas where there are no plans to remove him as head of state.

Manhunt for gunman who shot woman dead at rave

By Joe Rossiter

A NATIONWIDE manhunt is under way for the killer of a woman at a rave in Switzerland.

Italian Maria Spinelli, 22, was shot dead at the event in Aarau, 30 miles west of Zurich, yesterday morning.

Several gunshots were heard just after the music stopped at 2.30am. Four men and a woman, aged 24 to 27, were taken to hospital with injuries 'ranging from minor to severe'.

They were ‘within a large group of people’ at the Pferder-ennbahn Schachen Aarau horse racing track, police said.

Revellers initially thought the shots were fireworks.

Swiss detectives do not have an image of the killer or motive and do not know if more than one gunman was involved.

Tekibo, a DJ who performed at the annual techno rave attended by 3,500 people, said he had 'lost an important friend'.

'What happened at the Aarauer Rave is absolutely heartbreaking and something that should never happen at our scene!' he posted.

Murder probe as OAP woman's body found after 'weeks' in park

By Noor Qurashi

POLICE have launched a murder investigation after an elderly woman was found dead in a park.

Officers were called to Stanley Park in Liverpool on Friday afternoon following reports of a body in a walled garden area. The woman, who is yet to be identified, was believed to be in her 70s, approximately 5ft 2in tall, of small build and with strawberry-blonde hair.

She was wearing a 'distinctive pink Nike T-shirt' when she was discovered shortly before 5.30pm by a member of the public.

Police confirmed an investigation is continuing and CCTV, witness and forensic inquiries are being carried out. A postmortem examination has also taken place, though the results are said to have been withheld for investigative reasons.

Preliminary inquiries suggest the woman's body could have been in the park for a number of weeks, police said. Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson added: 'We have carried out a number of lines of inquiry, including examining any missing people

reports in the Merseyside and wider area, but at this stage we have not been able to identify the woman and would ask for the public's help by coming forward with any information.' She said she would also ask any walkers or dog walkers who have been in the park, and specifically the area of the walled garden in recent days or weeks, to come forward if they had seen or heard anyone acting suspiciously.

Patrick Burns, 41, whose home on Anfield Road faces the edge of

the park where the woman's body was found, said: 'It's scary. You don't expect it to happen on your doorstep.'

Drug driver's lies after girlfriend's death in van fall

Road tragedy: Charlotte Dodd, 35

Daily Mail Reporter

A MAN has been jailed for causing the death of his girlfriend after claiming she had been struck in a hit-and-run.

Matthew DuPlessis was sentenced to nine years and three months after admitting causing death by careless driving while unfit through drugs and to perverting the course of justice.

Neighbours heard the 35-year-old

and his girlfriend, Charlotte Dodd, also 35, arguing at her home on September 23, 2023, Chester Crown Court heard.

At 1.30am the next day the couple left in his van. Ms Dodd later fell from the moving vehicle and was fatally injured as she hit the road in Congleton, Cheshire, police said.

DuPlessis, from Crewe, insisted he and his girlfriend were out walking after a drinking session and a dark-coloured vehicle had struck her and fled. However, a police officer recog-

nised DuPlessis's name and knew he drove a white van similar to one parked at the scene.

In 2024, the defendant admitted driving with excess cocaine and was banned for three years. But the investigation into Ms Dodd's death continued.

Following sentencing, Ms Dodd's family said: 'Due to the lies and deception by one person from the very beginning, thereby perverting the course of justice, we still do not know the full truth of what really happened to Charlotte.'

Read the last ten texts between you and your husband – and I'll tell you if your marriage is on the rocks

by top divorce lawyer Sheela Mackintosh-Stewart

PING! A message on your phone from your partner. What do you anticipate? A perfunctory request for your ETA for dinner or a kiss-strewn 'can't wait to see you - let's go to our favourite Italian?'

After years together has your phone chat descended to clipped one-word replies and single-letter abbreviations? Or does he send strings of funny emojis and news articles he thinks you'll be interested in?

And what's your texting language to him like now – shopping lists, lengthy explanations or heart-felt declarations of love?

As a divorce lawyer, I've spent more than 30 years listening to what couples say about each other but I have also learned you can discover a lot about what's going on in a relationship simply by looking at their texts.

As people return from their summer holidays and re-enter everyday life, I'm anticipating a surge in new divorce inquiries – and one of the first things I'll do is ask how they communicate. In fact relevant texts and WhatsApp messages

How to enjoy the last of the summer wine...

Picture: NEALE HAYNES

EVER noticed how the delicious local wine you drank at the beach on holiday suddenly tastes thin and acidic in your suburban kitchen?

Or how about that 'wonderfully quirky' bottle of bitter liqueur that just tastes weird now you're back at work?

If you haven't heard of the 'context effect', you've probably experienced it - and it's why things taste better on holiday.

According to Professor Charles Spence – an Oxford University gastrophysicist who studies how the brain combines sight, sound, touch, taste and smell to create multisensory experiences – flavour is shaped not just by our senses, but by our surroundings, mood, expectations and even memories.

There might be the lapping of water and the hubbub of a restaurant influencing your taste buds, or the soft strumming of a Spanish guitar. Stress is also a factor, so a relaxed vibe adds a 'halo effect' to food and drink.

Take away all of the above and it's little wonder the holiday tipple loses its appeal back in Blighty. Mr Spence dubbed this the 'Provencal Rosé Paradox' – and notes the opposite can also be true, as food and drink tastes worse if you're not having fun and aren't keen on your drinking or dining companions.

But fear not! If you've been missing the evocative flavours of your last trip away, here are six bottles that withstand the suit-case taste test. Better still, many are bang on-trend – so you can impress your friends with wine as well as holiday snaps.

SICILY, ITALY

AFTER a day of ancient ruins and a stroll through the town, you'll have worked up an appetite. Here, it's all about street food or vineyards with their own trattorias and simple snacks in the sun. So, what to drink?

The Italian island is renowned for its roughly 70 local grape varieties, which make delightfully rustic wines.

Frappato is one of these quintessentially Sicilian grapes and it produces light-bodied, strawberry-scented reds that respond beautifully to a slight chill. Pair with a rich, homemade caponata or cold cuts and you'll swear you're hearing cicadas outside the window.

TRY: Santa Tresa Frappato, Sicily, £13, Ocado

A beautiful Frapatto with earthy strawberry flavours and

a herbal finish. A slight chill gives it a moreish grippiness that works well with food too.

RHÔNE VALLEY, FRANCE

POV: That glorious afternoon with a picnic by the river, fresh baguettes, paté and cheeses bought at a market, all washed down with a local white.

Britons have always loved a cheeky Côtes du Rhône red, but it's the whites grabbing the headlines now.

So it's perhaps no surprise that at London's hottest new restaurant, Cafe Clement, they serve it on tap. Textural and creamy rather than crisp and citrussy, with white chocolate and lime notes, these whites, made with grapes such as Roussanne and Marsanne, are incredible with creamy pasta and chicken or even just bread and cheese.

TRY: Les Dauphins Côtes du Rhône White, C10, Waitrose

Rhône White, £10, Waitrose While still very fresh and dry, this white Rhône has a wonderful peaches-and-cream appeal, with a slight beeswaxiness to the texture. Amazing value too.

CRETE, GREECE

CHANCES are, most nights of your Cretan holiday will have been spent in an unfussy taverna by the sea, feasting on anchovies and grilled octopus.

Crete is not known for its premium wines but you will find Assyrtiko – Greece's star white grape. It has a seriously zippy acidity and a salty, mineral edge that acts like squeezing a lemon over everything, freshening up the palate.

It's a great choice for grilled fish and salty cheese. Recreate the vibe at home with a chilled white and a grill, swapping the burgers for fish such as sea bass and some halloumi or feta. TRY: Lyrarakis Assyrtiko 2025, £11 mix 6 (£15 single) Majestic If you like Chablis, you'll love Assyrtiko – and this version is made by a top producer. It's crisp, bone dry and tangy, a little floral and deliciously saline.

CORSICA

THERE'S something very sensory about a Corsican evening meal, especially if on a terrace in Calvi or Bonifacio with the water at your feet and the scent of herby scrubland drifting up from the warm hills. The local rosé is often made with Sciaccarellu and Niellucciu grapes, giving a particularly weighty, smooth style of pink with a crunch of red fruit and gentle waft of herbs. An ideal match for the local smoked meats or sheep's cheese with a drizzle of chestnut honey – an easy dish to replicate back home.

TRY: Cintu Ile de Beauté

Corsican Rosé, £10, M&S/Ocado A beautiful-looking bottle from the beautiful isle, this is fresh, citrussy and subtly herbal up front, then relaxes into a silky, strawberries-and-cream palate.

CROATIA

CROATIA is having a tourism moment right now thanks to its untouched beaches and skyblue seas. It's currently all about that coastline, where meals are slow and often taken outdoors at long tables in family-run 'agriturismos' rather than formal restaurants.

The wine has its own personality too and local grapes shine, whether it's the bold, juicy reds made from Plavac Mali, the crisp, floral whites from Malvazija Istarska or the delicate, lightly perfumed, often off-dry whites of Graševina – Croatia's most widely planted grape.

The latter is easiest to find here. Pair it with freshwater fish and a lot of paprika.

TRY: Croatica Graševina, Kvalitetno Vino, £12.50 (£33 for 3), Tanners A very pretty, classic version of Graševina that's elegant but fruity. Think green apple, ripe pear and some grapey florals.

PORTUGAL

PORTUGAL has long produced utterly delicious, still, dry wines made with blends of unknown and unpronounceable grape varieties. They are still exceptional value for money – and boy, do they go well with the local food!

Try a white Port and tonic sundowner with a slice of orange instead of your standard G&T, or a spritzy Vinho Verde with grilled sardines.

Those seeking a richer, more chocolatey red should look a little further south towards Tejo or even further down to the Algarve for blends that simply adore heartier grilled meats or poultry stews.

Whichever you choose, you've got your Bank Holiday barbecue more than covered. TRY: The Sardine Submarine Tejo, £9.50, Waitrose I've no idea why this memorable wine isn't yet trending. A very tasty blend with crunchy bramble fruit, spice and notes of dark chocolate.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

very often emerge as part of the legal process. Some of those seemingly insignificant exchanges can be surprisingly revealing. They give me a little window into the emotional temperature of a relationship and help me understand whether there's warmth, affection and humour, or resentment, distance and simmering anger.

Over the years, countless clients have thrust their phones under my nose and said 'Look at this! How on earth do I respond?'

I've seen them anxious and hurt, often furious, sometimes completely bewildered as they re-read text exchanges, desperate to work out why he's sent it and what he means. Not to mention agonising over how to reply.

When I'm relationship coaching, meanwhile, I ask couples to show me their everyday messages because they're such a useful means of unpicking the way they've got used to speaking to each other. Quite often the texts (both sent and received) display far less kindness than they realise.

When couples take their eye off their relationship and allow it to drift, it all too often shows up in the pattern of their day-to-day messaging.

The tone and tempo of your text exchanges really do offer tiny but powerful clues about the health of your relationship.

Try for yourself. Open your phone and check the last ten messages exchanged between you. No cherry-picking the anniversary messages from six months ago. Pick the last ten. What do you see?

These messages are not a relationship diagnosis but they do offer hints. You can exchange heart emojis all day and still be miserable or have the most mind-numbingly boring text threads full of domestic logistics and still be madly in love.

Don't read too much into a grumpy 'k' (shorthand for OK and much used among teens). What matters is the bigger pattern and whether the way you communicate on your phones reflects how your relationship feels offline, too. Is there kindness? Collaboration? A sense of fun? Or not...?

Do your texts show two people who actually like each other?

It's worth checking in with your phone because this apparently mundane interaction could shine a light on relationship tensions in need of a fix.

PURELY FUNCTIONAL

DOES your WhatsApp interaction look like a series of barked instructions from 'mission control'? 'Can you pick up milk?' 'What time are you home?' 'Parents' evening Thursday'. 'ETA: 6.30', 'Roger that'.

This kind of interaction shows a couple that is highly efficient and organised, with 'Family Ltd' running like clockwork.

There's nothing wrong with practical and functional messages. And plenty of happy couples save the love, laughter and proper chat for when they're together.

But problems can arise when these messages become your entire relationship chat and the business vibe starts to crowd out affection, curiosity, fun and laughter between the two of you.

Also notably missing is any evidence of the 'please' or 'thank you' that you might happily proffer to a waiter or at the supermarket checkout, but are apparently withholding from the one you love.

ACTION PLAN: Ask yourself: 'Are we just functional texters or has our whole relationship just become one giant to-do list?' And if it has, time to put some love back into the chat. Intersperse the functional messages with something funny, or a bit of flirtatious banter. A little bit of 'sugar-coating' can go a long way to keeping your marriage alive.

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE

IS THERE a snarky, resentful tone creeping into your communications? Does every text come with a sting? 'Oh, don't worry then, I'll do it. Again.' Or, 'Well, it must be lovely to have time for the gym' and 'I'm glad one of us got a lie-in' or 'I've only asked you three times already'.

Sarcastic and passive-aggressive texts often indicate resentment bubbling away furiously underneath with nobody actually saying what's really bothering them.

ACTION PLAN: If your texts have become a running scorecard of who did or didn't do what and who is more exhausted, it's time to put the phone down and talk instead. Drop the digs and say what you actually need - kindly and directly. Try saying: 'I'm feeling overwhelmed and I need more help.'

Or, if they're the one being passagg, let them know you find it hurtful and it's more corrosive than they think: 'I'm upset about this. Can we talk?'

SINGLE WORDS AND EMOJIS EMOJIS and abbreviations have replaced a great deal of the subtle nuance of our everyday language. Is your line of communication peppered with a monosyllabic run of alternating 'k', 'yep', 'cool' or a thumbs-up emoji and an OK emoji (that's the hand making a circle with forefinger and thumb).

This doesn't automatically mean your relationship is in trouble. We're all busy and distracted. But watch out for one-sided displays. If one of you is reaching out and only getting clipped pictorial replies, this can signal emotional distance - or even an affair. I've seen this kind of sudden coldness when someone starts to cheat and their attention and emotional energy has shifted elsewhere.

ACTION PLAN: Ask yourself if this is how you've always communicated, or has something changed? A few curt texts are not proof of cheating but if the warmth has suddenly vanished, it is time to ask: 'You seem a bit distant lately. Is everything OK?'

Text messages might be brilliant for the quick stuff but for anything that matters, you need to put down the phones and talk properly. The human voice can soften tone and provide nuance in a way a text message never can.

SUDDENLY SECRETIVE

WATCH out if one partner who once sent loving messages becomes strangely unavailable for long stretches, responding to text inquiries with: 'Sorry. Busy.' 'Meeting', 'Phone died' or 'Working late - don't wait up'.

Secretive phone behaviour doesn't prove an affair either, but after decades of dealing with infidelity in my divorce clinic, my alarm bells always ring when I hear about sudden, unexplained text changes. Accompanying red flags include: they're up late texting, notifications disappear from their lock screen, their phone is always face-down or now accompanies them to the bathroom.

ACTION PLAN: Don't play Sherlock Holmes (no snooping or accusing). The sudden secrecy could be completely innocent. But be alert for marked behavioural change, especially if it comes with defensiveness or emotional withdrawal.

Picture: SHUTTERSTOCK

There's one thing to watch out for... it's often a sign someone has started to cheat

Ask: 'I've noticed you've been different with your phone lately. Is everything OK?'

WALKING ON EGGSHELLS A SERIES of tentative texts: 'Sorry to bother you...', 'Please don't be annoyed but...' or 'I'll cancel it if you don't want me to go' could be a sign that something is wrong with the emotional climate of your relationship. A healthy relationship should feel emotionally safe – online and off – and both of you should be able to ask a question, raise a concern or make a mistake without worrying about the other's reaction.

ACTION PLAN: Ask yourself if you're choosing words carefully because you're considerate or because you're scared of the reaction. It's not good if one of you is constantly editing, apologising or worrying about upsetting their partner or how they will react.

One nervous text proves nothing but if this is a repeated pattern, it's time to talk to someone you trust or seek professional support. If you are genuinely afraid, put your safety first rather than confronting a partner alone.

If you're getting tentative texts from your partner, turn the question round. Ask yourself, 'Why are they worried about how I'll react?' Be honest. Do you snap, sulk or go cold when you don't like what's going on?

Try saying: 'You seem worried about upsetting me. I don't want you to feel you have to walk on eggshells. Is there something I do that makes you feel like that?'

Then comes the hard bit: Listen properly, without jumping to defend yourself.

You may not like what you hear but those nervous little texts could be clues about how your partner feels around you.

TEXT RAGE

WATCH out if your texts are peppered with rage-filled caps and exclamation marks: 'YOU NEVER LISTEN', 'Here we go again!!' 'I"VE TOLD YOU!!' or 'I'm sick of this.'

We all get angry and annoyed with each other – that's normal. But a pattern of texts that looks more like the jabs and punches in a boxing ring is – fairly clearly – not a good sign. This antagonistic form of communication is designed to lash out, hurt back or win. When you're furious, your phone can become a weapon.

Worse still, without facial expressions, tone or touch that can soften a difficult conversation, a text row can easily escalate from nought to nuclear in seconds.

ACTION PLAN: Never text angry. If you're the raging texter, stop before you hit 'send' and ask yourself if you're trying to fix the problem or merely hurt your partner? Pause. Cool off first. Put your phone in another room, go for a walk, take a shower, breathe. Rant into your Notes app if you must but don't press send.

Once you've worked out what's upsetting you and what you need your partner to understand, talk it through face-to-face.

Start with: 'I'm really upset about what happened' rather than 'You always...'

If you're on the receiving end of text-rage, don't get dragged into a furious ping-pong match. When you're attacked it's tempting to fire straight back - especially when something feels unfair - but that will only turn up the heat.

Don't try to win an argument by text. Pause and, if you feel safe to do so, send a simple message saying something like: 'I can see you're really angry. I don't want us to say things we'll regret, so let's talk when we've both calmed down.' Then put your phone down and walk away for a while.

And if rage-filled, insulting or intimidating messages are becoming a regular feature of your relationship, it's serious and shouldn't be brushed off as 'just anger'. An aggressive and antagonistic pattern of messaging needs to be addressed. If the tone makes you feel frightened, threatened or controlled, seek support rather than tackling it alone.

When there are no rows, no questions, no curiosity, it could mean that one of you has stopped fighting altogether and might have emotionally checked out of the relationship.

ACTION PLAN: Don't jump to conclusions over a few flat texts - we all get tired, stressed and distracted. But if warmth, curiosity, affection and desire to connect have disappeared both

CHECKED OUT

' PINGS OF LOVE' ARE THE GOAL

TEXT-FIGHTING is a worry, but nothing gets my divorce lawyer antennae twitching more than the emotional indifference that seeps out of bland, non-committal texts. If your phone is peppered with off-hand responses like: 'whatever', 'I don't care tbh', 'do whatever you want' or 'let's just get through the weekend for the kids', you could be in trouble.

IN AN ideal world – and an ideal relationship – the perfect text exchange will be peppered with little pings of love: 'Thinking of you,' 'Miss you', 'How did your meeting go?' and 'Can't wait to see you.'

Even better if there's an occasional sprinkling of 'You looked gorgeous this morning', 'I saw this and thought of you' and/or any combination of heart emojis.

These are the WhatsApp threads I love seeing most because healthy couples check in with each other, encouraging and admiring each other. It doesn't matter how long you've been together, or how cheesy it seems, you need to know that we humans never outgrow the need to feel appreciated.

Equally, I like to see texts with links suggesting shared interests and a desire to engage with your partner on topics that mean something to you - a new song on Spotify, an online article, a recipe you want to try, a new restaurant.

Ask yourself: When was the last time you sent your partner a text just to make them feel good? If you can't remember, pull out your phone and send a positive, sweet and loving message right now, and send another tomorrow.

A single WhatsApp message won't save a failing relationship but making a daily habit of noticing each other - even by text - can make a real difference.

Strong relationships are built on hundreds of tiny moments that make our partner feel seen, appreciated, valued and chosen. Sometimes a heart emoji is all it takes.

on the phone and in real life, please don't dismiss it.

Ask yourself: 'Have we stopped arguing because things are better or because one of us has stopped caring enough to argue?' Don't wait for the goodbye conversation. Have the difficult conversation now.

Try saying: 'I feel like we've become really distant lately. Are you feeling it too? What's going on between us?'

HOW TO DRESS LIKE A GROWN UP Shane Watson

I'M delighted to have put away my ultra-light-weight dresses, along with the industrial fans and factor 50, but let's not be too quick to mothball the summer clothes we once wore only for holidays.

Plenty of the looks that have seen us through heatwaves are pieces that – with a few flimsy exceptions – can be repurposed and worn into autumn.

They've already proved they can make the leap from beach to office and now, with a bit of restyling, we can keep wearing them as the mercury drops. So press pause before you pack these away...

Big summer totes

DUA Lipa's giant Chanel basket has been attracting attention since she travelled to New York with it in August, but no need to put it away yet Dua. The key is in the colour and black, brown or striped straw, canvas or cloth all have a life beyond the beach and into autumn. PUT AWAY: Plain straw basket bags when the sun goes for good.

White or ecru jeans

ONCE thought to be inappropriate in the US after Labor Day (September 7), white jeans are now at their chicest when worn with a black or camel turtle neck or quarter zip sweater, a funnel neck tweed jacket, or a wrap, belted, soft bear of a coat. Finish off with almond-square-toed black boots with a mid heel and you're giving Kaia Gerber a run for her money.

PUT AWAY: White tailored trousers.

White shirt

FAST becoming as much of a 'must have' as the ubiquitous trench coat, the extra crisp white shirt is your smart-casual go-to. You're wearing it in the months to come with neat jeans and heels with a sweater around your shoulders; with a blazer and tailored trousers; or with a below-the-knee skirt or culottes. PUT AWAY: Linen shirts.

Chic ways to reinvent your summer wardrobe

Bags me one: Dua Lipa with her Chanel basket

All white: Hailey Bieber in loose-fitting jeans

Slip top

WERE you wearing the new slippy lace-trimmed top on summer evenings? If so don't put it away, it's going to look bang on trend under a blazer that's slightly waisted (that's the new way forward). Leave it showing over the waistband of your smart jeans or trousers for lace-edging impact.

PUT AWAY: Slip skirts.

Leopard print (or tortoiseshell)

IT'S brown, black and beige with notes of caramel - the building block colours of an autumn wardrobe - so no wonder this print is the one you can now wear year round.

If it's a polished cotton dress just add a black coat or jacket. If it's a skirt, swap white above the waist for red or chocolate brown. If it's leopard print jeans, switch your light shirt for a cream funnel neck sweater or brown suede blouseon jacket.

PUT AWAY: Spots, blue and white stripes.

Vest tops and T-shirts

THERE'S nothing quite as effective at face brightening and outfit-lightening as a sliver of white near your face. Keep using the vest you were wearing in peak summer as a freshening layer in the neckline of a sweater or cardigan or glimpsed under a jacket. PUT AWAY: Halternecks.

Tailored waistcoat

THOSE with Michelle Obama arms were wearing theirs with nothing underneath this summer. Easier times ahead as waistcoats stay front and centre of your smart daytime wardrobe, paired with a boyfriend shirt, or worn with nothing underneath, under a jacket. PUT AWAY: White and pale waistcoats.

Sunglasses

DON'T put these away unless it's tipping down. Your best weapon against crinkly tired eyes and a washed out complexion is a strongframed pair of sunnies. (Aviators flatter the most.) PUT AWAY: Wide-brimmed sun hats.

Denim skirt

IF IT'S straight or slightly A-line, soft, and just below the knee, consider this your starter skirt to wear with a jacket cropped on the hip.

The mixed skirt suit is what we'll be wearing until we get into a matching jacket and skirt, and denim is an excellent place to start as this new look skirt suit is relaxed and you're wearing it in a relaxed way: No shoulder pads, no tight arms, no hobble skirts. PUT AWAY: Tiered midaxi skirts.

Cardigan

THAT ultra-light cardigan you needed only once will be super useful in autumn as a neck wrapper doubled up with a sweater or to wear tied around your waist with skirts or trousers. Black and red are your go-with-everything colours. PUT AWAY: Big cotton scarves.

Dress, £95, cos.com

FRESHENING your wardrobe for a new season is one of life's great pleasures, and this year autumn is especially eye-popping.

Forget your usual deep wine hues and instead be bold in bright red.

For inspiration, you only have to look to the Autumn/Winter 26 catwalks. Carolina Herrera was awash with vibrant chilli red, from sharply-tailored suits to poppy florals, while Ferragamo featured rich red leather ensembles with matching accessories. Lanvin and Balenciaga both clashed the colour with pops of purple.

Red gets the celebrity seal of approval, too, with actress Katie Holmes recently spotted at Michael Kors' 45th anniversary dinner sporting a bright purple dress with contrasting red heels. Or for effortless style, take a leaf out of actress Daisy Edgar-Jones's book and pair a red knit with white denims and black accessories.

If you want to fill your wardrobe with joy and forget about the rainy days ahead, here's my edit of the best new pieces the high street has to offer.

Start with a transitional jacket - a must-have for this time of year now the mornings are cooler. Aligne has

Red alert: The only colour you need now

the perfect collarless blazer with on-trend knot detail fastenings. Or try the more casual track style which is currently all the rage. Marks and Spencer have just dropped the perfect piped, funnel neck jacket, while Zara has a fun satin effect bomber with a sport luxe feel to it. On the same theme, Mint Velvet's clever red stripe trousers combine two styles in one, the wide leg trouser and a track pant.

If you want something smarter, Cos's pleated dress is the perfect item to be buying now – it works in warmer temperatures thanks to its sleeveless design but will look just as good styled up with suede boots and a jacket later in the year.

If you're looking for an easy way to wear the colour top and bottom, Jigsaw's knitted co-ord is my go-to choice. But if you'd rather pick the colour out in a single piece, try With Nothing Underneath's boyfriend silk shirt in garnet.

Before you dive into big chunky jumpers, dip your toe in with a simple cardi. Gap has the perfect cotton crew neck for only £25. Pillarbox red isn't for everyone, and if you want a nod to the trend without going the whole way, look for slightly darker, more crimson shades in accessory form. It's a great way of adding impact without breaking up your look.

Boden has a great pair of patent loafers that are ideal if you suddenly get caught in the rain, or Reserved do a lovely bright ballet flat.

For the perfect kitten heel that will take you from desk to dinner, head to TK Maxx where you'll find a Polo by Ralph Lauren pair that are reduced by 67 per cent.

The crimson rule applies to bags too. Katie Loxton's tote is the perfect sized shoulder bag to carry all your essentials, or opt for Topshop's croc design if you're headed for an evening out.

FOR years I've looked forward to getting back into tights as it gets cooler. On the beach I've swathed myself in sarongs and floaty maxi dresses and shunned shorts.

Not because I like the look, but due to my cellulite.

The condition affects up to 90 per cent of women – and at 52, I'm no exception. What began as a few faint dimples on the backs of my legs in my late 30s has evolved into full-blown orange peel, wrapping around my thighs and creeping towards my knees.

As a beauty editor I've spent 20 years testing cellulite treatments, and to date, the most effective has been cheap, low-tech daily body brushing. But nothing really helped.

I was excited, then, to become the first British journalist to try an injectable treatment, Alidya, developed by Italian plastic surgeon Professor Pasquale Motolese. Would Alidya, which has been around in Europe for a while but is new to the UK, give me the confidence to sport shorts this summer?

Before we get to the injections, a bit of (slightly yucky) biology. Cellulite is a structural change beneath the skin in which fat pushes upwards while fibrous bands connecting skin to muscle pull downwards, creating the familiar dimpling.

Hormones, genetics, circulation and collagen, the protein that makes skin firm and springy, all play a role. Women are particularly

prone because the bands beneath our skin run vertically, making it easier for fat to bulge between them. In men, those fibres form a criss-cross pattern that holds fat more evenly in place.

A pause doesn't help. Fluctuating hormones cause more fat to be deposited around the thighs and hips, and also thin the skin, making any dimpling more visible. They also deplete the body's stores of collagen.

Some researchers also believe low-grade inflammation – from stress, poor diet and environmental toxins – may play a role in damaging the skin's supporting structures over time.

That's what makes Alidya so interesting. Rather than trying to tighten the skin or shrink fat cells, it claims to target several of the biological changes associated with cellulite.

I went to Wigmore Medical in central London, where I met aesthetic practitioner Anna Baker, who owns the Retreatery clinic in East Grinstead, West Sussex, and is one of the few UK clinicians trained in Alidya.

LAST SUMMER

She examined my thighs and told me I had moderate Grade 2 cellulite, where skin has visible dimples when standing. (There are three grades: Grade 1 is mild dimpling and Grade 3 appears more severely like a deeply quilted mattress). 'Grade 2 cellulite is exactly the type Alidya was designed for,' she said.

But would it actually work?

Anna was careful not to over-promise. 'Results can vary,' she said. 'But in the right patient, we do see great improvement in skin texture and firmness. It works gradually by improving the underlying environment of the tissue. Most patients need about seven treatments (from £250 each) spaced a week apart.

‘You should see gradual improvements with each treatment, but

After 20 years of testing treatments for my cellulite... Could a new£250 jab cure it for good?

you can expect to see full results a few weeks after the final one.' Alidya is delivered via a series of very small injections (I had about 70 injections on each bum cheek and upper thigh) just under the skin. The solution contains amino acids to put spring back into skin, antioxidants to neutralise oxidative stress and other agents which help mop up heavy metals that accumulate in the tissues and slow lymphatic drainage.

Anna warned me I would feel 'a stinging sensation' but for me the injections felt bearable.

The whole process took around 40 minutes. By the end, my thighs sported what looked like a constellation of mosquito bites but didn't hurt. Over the next 24 hours, the area became bruised and tender for about three days. Anna reassured me that this was normal and would settle and prescribed skin creams and collagen drinks to ease lingering bruising.

I wasn't to expect instant change, said Anna. 'The first thing people notice is usually a slight improvement in skin tone and puffiness after a couple of weeks,' she said. 'Structural changes take longer.'

By week three the skin on the backs of my thighs looked significantly less mottled. The dimpling was still there but felt less pronounced, as though someone had ironed them.

EIGHT weeks (and six treatments) on, I faced the holiday test. I was going to Sweden and would be surrounded by ultra-fit Scandinavians, so it was a big one

Standing in the bathroom of our coastal cabin, I caught sight of my reflection in harsh Scandi daylight - the kind that shows absolutely everything and forgives nothing. The cellulite was faintly there but it looked less dense, less shadowed. The skin had a slightly more even tone, and the worst of the 'orange peel' effect on the outer thighs was gone. I felt lighter and brighter.

I wore shorts to breakfast, which felt liberating. No one said anything or let their gaze linger with distaste – believe me, that's happened before – and that was enough of a win. Alidya is not a miracle cure. But, for me, it was enough to make a visible, confidence-boosting difference.

After my course of six treatments, I'm signed up for bi-monthly booster sessions, which are recommended to maintain results. Yes, it's an expensive new habit. But without them, I imagine the skin will revert to its previous state. Cellulite, I've finally accepted, isn't something to be conquered – but it can definitely be improved.

WE ALL love our dogs. But do we love them enough to take them on a fortnight's family summer holiday to Brittany?

This is the question I ask myself every August. I have, several times, succumbed to the ridiculous bureaucracy of the post-Brexit animal health certificate, the multi-page legal document without which my labradoodles, Otto and Goose, cannot leave the country.

This is a double whammy of time and effort, never mind the eye-watering cost and the rabies jabs they need before you can even apply.

Besides, pet-friendly cabins on the ever-popular Portsmouth to Caen route get sold out by April. I've missed the boat, excuse the pun, on several occasions and then agonised over whether the dogs would be okay in the boot of the Land Rover for the six-hour crossing. We tried this once. They weren't.

So this year, with a pang of guilt, I thought: 'Let's just leave them at home.' Of course, this only works if you can find a reliable dogsitter but I've always been lucky in the past. There's a fantastic Facebook group called House and Pet Sitters UK, as well as the website Trusted House-sitter, where you can advertise. Often there's a kind of unspoken agreement that if you are fortunate enough to live in a desirable location – we're in central Chichester with West Wittering and Goodwood on our doorstep – then people will be happy to look after your dogs in exchange for free accommodation.

This summer I started my search early and was immediately inundated. Quite quickly I settled on Peter*, a recent divorcee who had sold his family home and was waiting to buy his own place.

We had mutual friends on Facebook, which is always reassuring, and we met up for a couple of hours so I could show him the dogs' favourite walks and go through their, admittedly lengthy, list of requirements. I headed off to America on a business trip the week before our family holiday, relaxed in the knowledge everything was sorted.

But while I was away Peter messaged me to say he'd been offered a paid job he couldn't turn down. With less than seven days to go before our holiday, I had no one to look after Otto and Goose. I couldn't even make a last-minute decision to take them with us to France because their rabies jabs weren't up to date.

In a panic, I readvertised and almost immediately got a friendly response from a woman in her mid-30s called Zoe*.

When my new dogsitter ghosted me, I feared I'd left a dangerous stranger in my house...

Happy family: Shona out and about with her pair of labradoodles Otto and Goose

She had veered from quirky free spirit to psychopath

She seemed lovely over WhatsApp, tolerating my numerous voice notes in which I frantically tried to cram every detail about Goose and Otto's routine and quirks. 'Please say as much as you like about them!' she said. 'Dogs are like family.'

This comforted me enormously. Zoe also agreed to fly in the night before we were due to leave so she could spend the evening with us and the dogs and I could meet her in person.

Stupidly, because I was furiously busy with travel and work, I didn't check her references. My rationale was that all her messages to me were reassuring. Then, the day before she was due to arrive, she said she'd changed her flight to the Saturday morning and might not be able get to our house until after we'd left.

'But don't worry!' she wrote. 'You can just leave the key.'

Er, no. There was no way I was going to head abroad, leaving the dogs – and my house – with someone I hadn't met in person. At this point I was seriously considering staying at home with Goose and Otto, but then Zoe switched gear again and said she could, as it turned out, arrive in Chichester just an hour before we had to leave for the ferry.

I wasn't happy with this either, but it was better than nothing. First impressions were okay. She seemed a bit of a hippy, but then I figured that any woman in her mid-thirties bumming around the world living in other people's houses was probably a tad anti-establishment.

As we drove away for the ferry, my eldest daughter, Flo, 27, told me she'd got 'a bad vibe' from Zoe. 'She's fine,' I snapped, not wanting to entertain the alternative.

But over the next few hours my uneasiness grew. I know I'm the kind of pet parent (and human one) who needs more information rather than less. I'd rather be bombarded with photos of the dogs and detailed info on what they've eaten, when they've pooed and so on, especially in the first few days.

I do eventually relax and step back, but surely anyone leaving something precious in the care of a stranger would be the same? Zoe did answer my messages but in a frustratingly vague way. 'Yes I've walked them. You need to trust me.'

I was sensing bolshiness. When I expressed this concern to my husband Keith, he said: 'She

clearly doesn't like authority. Stop being a control freak.'

But on day two things got worse. I left it until the afternoon to send a friendly message to Zoe asking where she'd walked and if the dogs were okay. She replied only to say: 'I'm just following your orders.' By now I was getting increasingly anxious. I decided to send a friend over just to check everything was okay. Mike, a neighbour who knows Goose and Otto, was happy to oblige.

Yes, this might sound excessive to people who don't have dogs. But for us, they're vulnerable members of the family. I know owners who hunch over their Ring doorbell footage while on holiday, timing to the minute the comings and goings to ensure their dogs are getting enough exercise. We're intense about it. And in this case, I honestly think I was right to be.

When Mike arrived, Zoe opened the door but didn't let him in. He gently suggested it might be good if she could send me daily updates on the dogs so I could relax on holiday. 'Well, I'm not doing that,' she told him, before shutting the door. Now there was no question that I was dealing with someone who was openly hostile. In my worst-case-scenario mindset, Zoe had veered from quirky free spirit to psychopath.

In a last, desperate, attempt to get her to see things my way I sent a friendly but firm message pleading with her to communicate more. She turned off her phone. For 48 hours. I tried calling, but it switched to voicemail. I messaged. Nothing.

I couldn't sleep. All I could think was that there was a nutter in my house neglecting my dogs – or worse.

I called Mike, begging him to go over to our house and throw Zoe out. One of Flo's friends had kindly said she could step in and so I booked Zoe a room for one night at a local hotel and promised Mike a crate of wine if he could evict her.

Unsurprisingly, she reacted terribly. 'This is really inconvenient for me,' she ranted. She then told Mike to leave and come back once she had packed her bags.

'Do NOT leave the house,' I begged him. By now Zoe was sobbing and calling me every name under the sun. The dogs were, thankfully, absolutely fine. Over the next two hours, Mike managed to extract Zoe from our home and deliver her to the hotel. Did I just pick a dodgy dogsitter? Or was she actually a dog lover – albeit one who just wanted everything on her terms?

Either way, I'll be securing that pet-friendly ferry cabin months in advance next year.

WATCHING the new Amazon Prime action thriller series Ride Or Die, I became fascinated by Hannah Waddingham's hair.

In many scenes the gorgeous 51-year-old Ted Lasso actress, who portrays a fit and fierce assassin, sports a flicky blonde bob which is sometimes scraped back in a mini ponytail for high-octane action moments.

But that's not her only hairstyle. In one scene, all glammed-up for a millionaire's party at a Monaco mansion, her look is completely transformed by a dramatic 'up do': At the front, a towering quiff, sides slicked, with an edgy mohawk hairpiece running down the back.

Sometimes she's tousled and at others groomed to within an inch of her hairline.

by Louise Atkinson

Clearly, Hannah has a team of hair stylists tending to her tresses, but I couldn't help marvel at the immense range of options that could be achieved from her relatively short cut.

Could this versatility be something that ordinary women could aspire to inexpensively and without expert help?

I've worn my naturally curly hair at shoulder length since my teens. In fact, I've spent a lifetime trying to keep it as long as possible after a disastrous pixie cut when I was 12 resulted in me being repeatedly mistaken for a boy.

But unless you're blessed with fulsome follicles (or a heavy dose of HRT) midlife hair inevitably loses its thickness, swing and body. For me, this dull diminution has been made more obvious by the exhausting quest to cover-up grey roots.

A year on Mounjaro provided the final death knell for my mane of tumbling curls.

I was thrilled to have lost two stones (dropping from 13-11 stones) over eight months, shrinking from a size 18 to a 12, and the improvements to my health and happiness have been immense. But the single downside (apart from the hefty monthly outlay) has been my hair.

For one terrifying month last September I really thought I might be going bald. Every time I shampooed, great clumps would come away in my hands and my hairline receded alarmingly, my pink scalp shining back at me in the bathroom mirror.

I rushed to Philip Kingsley in London for a private appointment with a trichologist who told me - mercifully - that I was merely experiencing a temporary 'shedding' called

telogen effluvium (TE), and that each hair that had fallen out had already been replaced by a tiny new baby hair.

Studies have since show that TE is extremely common in people taking GLP1 weight-loss medication, affecting up to 68 per cent of us.

It is miserable and terrifying, but it is temporary.

I stocked up on supplements to support the new hair growth and cut back my Mounjaro dose, ultimately switching to the more gentle Wegovy pill in July because I'm keen to keep a trickle of GLP1 in my system for the purported health benefits and to keep my weight on track – even if it compromises my hair.

Sure enough, those baby hairs started to emerge as crazy curls around my hairline and for the first half of this year I had to work hard to try to disguise the thick curly regrowth among the wispy strands of longer hair that had survived.

Then in June, for my 62nd birthday, I decided my best option was to cut the whole lot off into a bob.

It was a dramatic change and I hid myself away for a few days,

clip-on the price of a Meal Deal. Award-winning London hairstylist Ed James is the ambassador for the Beauty Works extensions brand, and thinks clip-ins are perfect for midlife women.

'It's the ultimate instant transformation, and virtually every celeb I work with has several sets they keep to hand for transforming their look,' he tells me. 'You can completely change your style in minutes without having to book into the salon every time the mood strikes. It's like having a wardrobe for your hair.

'For many of my clients it's about not having to think about maintaining long hair all the time, and it's about having fun and playing with your look.'

I can't wait to experiment and dial up the wow factor

myself away for convinced that I looked like a cross between Mrs Doubtfire and orphan Annie.

With a few social events planned for the rest of this year - a big birthday party, a hen weekend, and my son's wedding in December - I can't wait to start experimenting,

And then Hannah Waddingham appeared in the Royal Box at Wimbledon sporting her 'Italian bob' - a sophisticated layered look which just skimmed her jawline.

I realised her hair was a similar length to mine. Maybe, just maybe, a by-necessity midlife bob could be versatile, and perhaps even occasionally exciting too?

The answer, I discovered, could be found in clip-in hair pieces.

There's a massive range of ponytails, buns, and fringes out there - plus lots of videos showing how seemingly easy they are to use.

They won't all break the bank, either. For the luxury of real hair, you might have to pay £50-£150 per clip-in, but there are many cheaper synthetic options available.

I was spoilt for choice: Short flicky ponytails; lush long ones Ariana Grande style; curly 'half pony' clip-ons, which promised to channel my inner Jennifer Lopez; tidy buns; messy buns; even 'disco buns' worn like mini 'horns' on either side of your head. And all for less than £20 a pop. In fact, one thoroughly convincing clip-in chignon is just £5.69. They all come in a wide range of colours from jet black to full grey.

They might be fake, but these hair extensions are remarkably realistic. It made me wonder why anyone my age would squander so much time and money nurturing hair long enough to sweep into a bun or ponytail when you can rock the convenience of a choppy bob and achieve instant glamour-puss status with a and - hopefully - dial up the wow factor on my hair. So how easy is it...?

I start cautiously with the simplest and possibly most addictive option - the messy bun scrunchy (£15 in 37 shades from Stranded Hair Extensions,

hairextensions.co.uk). An elastic band with hair attached that makes it look like you've piled fistfuls of hair on top of your head, it actually couldn't be easier.

In fact my hairdresser often wears two of these scrunchies at a time for extra volume.

Scooping my hair up on to the top of my head with both hands I secure the short tufts with a double twist of the scrunchy. Checking the back of my head in the mirror, it is a convincing replica of the relaxed 'tie your hair up for the gym' look I used to rely on when I had enough hair to tie up. Wrapping a second scrunchy around the first expands it to impressive beehive proportions.

Emboldened, I branch out into curly ponytails – one 30 inches of tumbling curls (£17.99 from FESH-FENDirect on Amazon) and another, more conservative 12-inch version (£16.70 from Vegalily Beauty Supply, also via Amazon). Surely these would be perfect for a friend's disco-themed 60th?

First, I scrape my own hair back into a band, revealing a pathetic two-inch rat's tail. Then I pin up the straggly bits and simply clip on the long ponytail. I am immediately transformed... but into the sort of woman who might be reading tarot cards.

(muttering, 'This is a glamour-themed party not comedy fancy dress – will you be taking a crystal ball too?') and begs me to reconsider.

No problem. In a simple switch, I unclip the long pony and attach the shorter one. This is such a close match in colour and texture, even I can't believe it's not my own hair.

I think I look like I did in my 20s and feel younger too.

At the party, I hit the dancefloor and am inspired to spice-up some of my moves from midlife shuffling to proper party bopping – it's so much fun when you've got hair to swing around! Jon seems delighted by this newly extrovert version of me. Everyone at the party is convinced the ponytail is mine, until, after a few proseccos, I cheekily clip it off. Onlookers are aghast - it's as if I'd just unstrapped a false leg.

A few weeks later, I decide I need hair enhancement for my soon-to-be daughter-in-law's hen weekend. This time I style it out with a 'bun topper' of chaotic curls (£19.00 from RUWISS-EU via Amazon) on the top of my head. This is a bunch of coiled curls in a variety of different blondes and 'brondes', fixed to a dome of mesh which I secure to my tiny sprout with hair clips.

It is a startling replica of the 'pineapple sprout' hairstyle I once wore for clubbing back in the 90s (when I had loads of hair of my own). The mother of the bride and I might be 30 years older than the rest of the hens, but I'm rocking my fake 'sprout' and she's clipped on a fake pony tail and (in our minds anyway) we are completely convincing members of the giggling girl gang.

Again no one spots my fakery, but to be honest I wouldn't have minded if they had.

For a more sophisticated look, hair and make-up artist Carl Stanley shows me how to tame my naturally curly hair with a session of blow drying and smoothing into a neat, low (but very short) sprout. (The expensive real hair clip-ins can be styled and curled, but, though convincing, my selection is properly synthetic and I wouldn't trust them not to melt near a blow dryer or if I stood too close to a naked flame.)

Next, I clip on a 14-inch bouncy ponytail (£16.95 from REECHO via Amazon) and instantly assume Barbie vibes – thick, apparently healthy, hair bouncing on your shoulder really does put a spring in your step.

This is very 'Cotswold ladies who lunch' and I thoroughly enjoy channelling my inner Victoria Beckham with a pout and an oversized handbag for pisco sours at Soho Farmhouse.

With Carl in charge it takes two seconds to unclip the pony and attach a neat chignon (£5.69 from Happy Life XX). Now I have the perfectly demure mother-of-the-groom look in the bag ready for my son's wedding in December.

Louise loves styling it out

It occurs to me that there's always been a bit of a taboo surrounding the idea of tugging on a full wig or a topper to cover a bald patch or to disguise an area of extreme thinning, but these clip-ins are so quick and positive and life-affirming you've just got to shout about them.

I'm all up for expanding your hair 'do' repertoire at midlife rather than restricting it, and I'd seriously struggle to achieve these looks even if I was able (or could be bothered) to keep my hair long.

Now I completely understand why Hannah Waddingham chooses to keep her hair off her shoulders. It's got nothing to do with that outdated and patronising idea that midlife women shouldn't have long hair.

She's able to enjoy all the simplicity of a healthy easy-wear bob, short enough to withstand the rigours of her peroxide blonde dye, but long enough for maximum versatility – and fun.

I absolutely love my new wardrobe of cheap and cheerful hair pieces. They are lined up like furry pets in a drawer in my bedroom, and when I'm going 'out out', I run my hands over my selection and pick one to suit my mood and the occasion.

It's like choosing a pair of party shoes or a fabulous pair of earrings.

Like Hannah, when I want to look and feel a bit special, I simply pull open my drawer of clip-on possibilities, attach one - and style it out.

Group holidays will wreck your friendships – unless you follow these golden rules

IF YOU'RE making the most of the last week of summer by getting away with some close friends, can I offer some advice? Don't do it.

Especially if it's with their families as well.

Because I've just come back from a group holiday and, once again, discovered all the myriad ways in which it never, ever works.

The major problem is forced compromise. If you're sharing a house, you largely eat whatever someone else fancies, don't get any sleep until your last partying friend is finally in bed and have to listen to the whining of other people's toddlers or bickering teens.

You spend hours waiting for people who said they wanted to be on the 10am excursion, but then take a ludicrously long time to get their act together and get in the car.

I spent days biting my tongue so hard I thought it was going to fall off. And yet you can't speak up because that way lie major fall-outs and a toxic atmosphere.

Finally, I've learned I'm too selfish to tolerate another one of these breaks and my pals are pretty selfish too!

But if you insist on doing it, here are the rules you must follow to placate your fellow guests and walk away still friends.

Forget housework

OUR group trip this year was in Spain, and one mum thought she was doing us all a favour by appointing herself 'head of housekeeping'.

Great, I thought initially, that's me off the chore hook. The reality was early morning knocks on the bedroom door with a yell of 'I'm just doing a whites wash!', and an equally martyr-ish 'just putting round' of the vacuum cleaner - every single night while the rest of us were still polishing off the albarino.

She'd clean the kitchen after breakfast then pace around waiting for someone to use the toaster mid-morning or toss a dirty knife into the sink.

Picture: SHUTTERSTOCK

All of this was not the slightest bit relaxing and reminded me of being on holiday as a teenager with my rules-obsessed mum.

Don't be that guest

MOST people invited as the guests of a considerably wealthier friend to her home in Nice would count themselves very lucky and be on their best, most gracious behaviour. Not this friend.

Her thinly veiled jealousy boiled over into constant put downs and digs. Our host hadn't bought the best local rosé, wasn't any good at BBQ-ing steak, was boring for doing a breathwork class each day. On and on it went. While the rest of us were aghast, cringing in embarrassment, and sharing scandalised glances

Bad break: Group holidays can rapidly turn sour

at every snide comment, our host calmly swallowed it all. Until the final day.

While we were all enjoying one last coffee by the pool, she at last piped up: 'I hope you've enjoyed this holiday with us because I won't be inviting you again. Your whole family – your dull husband and your ungrateful children – have ruined what should have been a lovely time. I'm furious with you.'

Of course, that launched a serious hand grenade into our final hours of packing and the flight home, which all her guests were on. If I hadn't been so stunned, I think I'd have high-fived her.

Play games carefully!

A PRIVATE house, party games and plenty of post-dinner drinks really can go one of two ways.

This particular evening in Wiltshire started well. We'd played a few rounds of Cluedo and had fun, but then - when the kids had gone to bed - someone produced one of

decided to brave the same group again, we all agreed to withhold the entry code and ignore all his texts and calls until everyone was there.

Come morning, we did the only thing cowardly (and now sober) adults can do. We pretended nothing had happened. It's never been discussed since, but the culprit was dropped from the guest list.

There are exceptions to the 'booker gets the best room' rule, however. One friend who'd found a cottage in a rainy Grasmere bagged the only en-suite bedroom - despite another friend in the group being heavily pregnant.

Cue an entire week of pass agg eyerolls between the two women and the pregnant one insisting on using her bath (the only one in the house) every day for extra-long soaks, just to wind her up.

Some of these can be very harsh, and should never be played around alcohol...

I was cross to be nominated, by everyone, as the person in the room with the 'worst taste in music'. But when it came to the person who was 'most vain', some horrible drunken truths came out.

I HAVE witnessed some appallingly grabby behaviour in Airbnbs. The obvious rule is: The person who finds and books the flat should get the best room. So don't unpack in it if you didn't.

Far better to take the mediocre room, than cause a stink. Read the itinerary

I don't remember it all, but I do have a terrible memory of one fearless friend yelling 'yeah, you shouldn't have stopped the Botox' to the hostess herself.

One friend had a reputation for this, even setting out early to get there before everyone else. It backfired spectacularly one year when the person who'd booked our stunning waterfront house in St Mawes refused to swallow it politely but stood in the room and simply ordered him to move, which was every bit as awkward as it sounds.

She huffed out and her husband dutifully followed to pacify her, returning half an hour

A few years later, when we

LAST summer one of my oldest friends ruined a hiking holiday in the Peak District seven of us had spent weeks planning because she failed to read a single email about where we were going and what we were doing.

She arrived at the agreed meeting point on the day of our first hike wearing a full face of make-up and a (very nice, it must be said) pair of wide-leg Joseph trousers.

While the rest of us were in ugly walking boots, she wore ballet flats, thereby adding a good two hours to every walk.

She had no other footwear with her and no one had anything spare that would fit, so the four days of planned walks descended into a series of long boozy pub lunches and very little fresh air, which we could have stayed in London for.

Ditto another friend who came on a cycling holiday but was unable to tackle even the smallest hills thanks to her 20-a-day habit. With the kids overtaking her and constant breaks for her to catch her breath, our long-planned itinerary was abandoned.

DR MAX IS AWAY

TRIED AND TESTED MINI MUSTS

Katherine Spenley

AS a woman who remembers the Woolworths pick-and-mix counter with great fondness. I

can't resist a travel mini. I know it might be much cheaper and more environmentally friendly to buy in bulk and decant into little pots, but isn't everything more fun when it's pocket-sized?

And these days, there are some minis that are just too good to resist - it's no longer just shampoos, conditioners and shower gels. Think of them as the fudge in your cinema sweets - maybe not a sensible choice, but no less delicious for it. Here are some of the minis that make it into my washbag - and handbag - all year round...

COLOR WOW DREAM COAT (£12.50, boots.com): I love most things from Color Wow, and their Dream Coat is a hero product for a reason. As I write, there's both glorious sunshine and torrential rain on the

horizon - if there were a Hair Forecast, we'd be seeing frizz sweeping in from the east. But not with this wonder product. Think of

Dream Coat as the brolly in the bottom of your bag – you might not always need it, but it's good to have just in case.

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO (£1.60, superdrug.com): A brilliant bargain which I use on clean hair to give a little oomph to the roots if things have fallen flat.

TATCHA DEWY CREAM (£26, tatcha. co.uk): This is a real treat. I always use every drop of my full size pot

and for travelling - or for on-the-go - I just can't resist this dinky delight. A pleasure to swipe over my face, it leaves parched skin plump and juicy. I also like their Rice Wash (£19, tatcha.co.uk) which comes in 50ml - its cream-to-lather formula is a pleasure.

VIEVE SKIN NOVA PRIMER (£15, vievebeauty.com): I'm not alone in loving Vieve products - and this is a beauty. I first trialled it when I was away at Christmas and it gave a great glow to my over-indulged winter skin. Definitely a year-round hero.

BIG-MONEY QUIZ Millionaire Hotseat, 7.30pm, ITV1

JEREMY Clarkson drags himself away from Diddly Squat Farm to host a new weeknight run of the quickfire quiz. Six contestants compete each night to sit in the hotseat for a multiple-choice chance of winning the £1 million top prize. And unlike the classic version, the questions are against the clock so there's no time for dithering.

MILITARY SPECTACLE The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, 8pm, BBC1

AT EDINBURGH Castle, the Massed Pipes and Drums answer 'A call to gather', this year's theme, joined by the Massed Bands of the RAF, Highland Dancers, the Tattoo Fiddlers and an international line-up, with performers from Qatar, Germany, New Zealand and the US. Hosted by Rebus star Richard Rankin, it's always a highlight of the Scottish cultural calendar, with the poignant finale provided by the lone piper (pictured).

FRED'S ULTIMATE HOTELS, 8PM, CH4

LOOKING for hotel recommendations for when you win the lottery? Fred Sirieix is your man. What he doesn't know about looking after guests isn't worth knowing. For his new series, Fred (pictured) checks in to some of the world's most prestigious hotels, enjoying the breathtaking surroundings of the Royal Madikwe safari lodge in South Africa, the classic

splenour of the Raffles Hotel in Singapore and the exclusive alpine setting of Les Barmes de l'Ours in the French Alps. First, though, he's heading for the Royal Mansour in

Marrakesh, which offers the kind of luxury that the King of Morocco himself would expect. As well as seeing how the hotel holds up to his five Fs — First impressions, Facilities, Fine details, Flawless service and Feeling — Fred will also marvel at the local sights in a hot air balloon, and take over as general manager for the day to see what really makes the Royal Mansour tick. There’s one thing he’s convinced of, whatever the grandeur of the surroundings, which is that’s it’s the people who ultimately make a hotel a success, and each episode ends with him presenting his Hospitality Hero Award to celebrate one outstanding member of staff.

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS Surviving 9/11, 9pm, BBC2

AS WE approach the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the schedules are filled with documentaries old and new. First shown in 2021, this film tells the story of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Flight 93 from the perspectives of ordinary people who were there. It lets their stories speak for themselves – no narration or recreation, and barely any music – then deals with the impact on these people since. It's natural that the world wants to honour the dead and 'never forget', but what effect does this memorialising have on the survivors who want to move on with their lives?

FILM CHOICE The Godfather Part II, 10.30pm, BBC2

never try to keep a polar bear at bay by belting it with a police truncheon. This will only antagonise it.

Every citizen on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard is required to carry a rifle, not a wooden stick, when venturing beyond the settlements, explained police chief Henrik Becken (Jeppe Beck Laursen) in Vigil.

He presented visiting copper Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) with a high-powered hunting rifle: 'Keep it loaded and on your shoulder,' he warned. 'Polar bears move fast.'

So far, the only predators we've seen in this snowbound action thriller are Russian special forces. But I'm willing to bet my last glacier mint that Kirsten and her boss Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) are fighting off packs of ravenous bears before the end of this six-parter.

We haven't reached that point yet, because Amy is still at home in Scotland. She's not only Kirsten's senior officer but

her partner, too: the two women have a child together, which does rather complicate their work/life balance.

Their relationship has been established over the previous two series, and reminding us of it took up too much of the opening episode.

For a story that opened with an attempted defection, as Chinese climate scientist Shen Jia (Naomi Yang) tried to flee Svalbard, and then a firefight, a murder investigation, a bomb attack on a university lab, another murder and the kidnapping of a government minister at gunpoint, this hour still managed to sag and drag in places.

But the central premise is a strong one. Sir Richard Shirreff, a former deputy commander of Nato, warned in the Daily Mail earlier this month that Svalbard could easily become the flashpoint for a Third World War, and Vigil's plot might have been lifted straight from his predictions.

If Putin stages a military provocation here, how will the

West react? That's up to Amy and Kirsten, who have to discover whether Russia is behind the killings — or if the denials of a handsome colonel from Moscow (Tornike Gogrichiani) can be trusted.

The unspoilt landscape of Svalbard, with its luminous skies and frozen mountains, has an almost lunar beauty, and gives the drama a special appeal. Crime shows such as True Detective and The Killing began a tradition of staging murder investigations in unfamiliar settings with an ethereal atmosphere, but new backdrops are hard to find.

It's becoming a popular tourist destination too. Polar bears still outnumber humans, though. Keep that in mind before booking a skiing holiday.

hard it was to learn. Gathering speed and momentum, counterintuitively, makes it easier. Similarly, burnout demands rest, but slowing down can make starting again feel overwhelming. The trick is recognising the difference between forcing yourself onwards and finding a sustainable rhythm. Today, Saturn in your sign connects to Jupiter in Leo and replenishes stores of courage and discipline.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21

TAUREANS love to attach meaning to inanimate objects. Things you've taken care of for a long time feel more valuable. A good coat, a well-used pan, a friendship that has survived several versions of you both. Their worth is in what they've come to represent. You're tempted to compare your progress with somebody else's apparent speed today. But there is no prize for arriving quickly at something that hasn't had the chance to become significant.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 YOU can tell a lot about someone's priorities by what they do when nobody is

watching. Learning a skill doesn't look very impressive or glamorous. It takes repetition and discipline. You have been working hard to stick with something meaningful and your frustrations bubble up today. You don't need instant evidence that your effort is paying off. Expertise has a habit of accumulating until one day something that once felt hard becomes natural.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 BEING proud of yourself doesn't come from a blind belief in your own perfection. True self-esteem grows from recognising flaws and facing fears of inadequacy. The work that's required to reach the milestones that matter isn't obvious, but that doesn't render it unimportant. Self-respect is built from actions which align with your values.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

SEEKING perfection is a clever way of postponing fear. If we insist on getting things right before we try something for real, we deny ourselves the opportunity to grow. There comes a point where preparation has done all it can and the next step demands the courage to put your project out there.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 IT'S easy to admire people who seem naturally

confident, but we rarely see the years of practice behind their apparent ease. A person who handles difficult conversations gracefully may have had more opportunities to get them wrong.

SOME decisions become easier when you stop asking whether they're safe and start asking whether they're worth the risk. Absolute certainty is impossible.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 PROFESSIONAL athletes often practise moves they could perform in their sleep. Repetition allows skill to become dependable under pressure. You may be

tempted to move on simply because you've mastered the basics, but Saturn's connection to your ruling planet today suggests that refinement wouldn't hurt - and it may take you to the next level.

Discipline is involved in saying no to something you could easily afford or achieve. Restraint sometimes simply means walking past the thing you don't need, waiting before replying or refusing to make a decision while angry.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

WISDOM teaches us that learning doesn't stop because we've survived before. It's sensible to avoid repeating our mistakes, but if we think we know it all, we deny ourselves valuable experience. There's a difference between recognising a warning sign and assuming every familiar situation will end the same. Self-assurance sharpens judgment, but it shouldn't make your world smaller.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

CUTTING corners might be convenient but it doesn't always feel good. Nobody else may notice the extra care you took to get things right, but you will know. Today, Saturn connects to your traditional ruling planet, Jupiter, and the cosmos focuses on the private relationship we have with our own standards. You may be considering whether something is worth the effort when a quick fix would be easier. Ask yourself how you'd think about the decision later. The right choice isn't always the painless one.

The prodigal son and our princes

Straight to the POINT

WITH no disrespect to either the Royal Family or the New Testament, it seems that an illuminating crossover can be made between the return of Prince Harry to the UK and the parable of the prodigal son. At the very least, both stories are well known. It is generally agreed that the son in the Bible story behaved badly. He clearly disobeyed the fifth commandment (honour your father and your mother) by asking for his share of his father's property. His squandering of his money was also reprehensible.

Harry must now surely regret some of the comments he made in Spare and question the wisdom of conducting a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The role of the father in the Bible story is striking. He seems to have been almost over-the-top in his forgiving attitude, running to meet the boy on his return.

We need to ensure that contracts are properly tendered, procurement is honestly administered and housing is fairly allocated. Corrupt elections lead to corrupt administrations.

The elder brother's attitude is, of course, the climax of the story. He certainly has cause to be angry, but as the biblical scholar Eric Franklin has pointed out: 'He is faced with a radical challenge. If he goes in (to the dinner), the learning experience for him will be almost as great as it must be for the younger brother.'

This is pretty much the situation Prince William faces. Scripture is truly as relevant as ever.

LIKE many others, I have donated via GoFundMe to the whip-round for the families of the two police officers killed on the A66.

In addition to this gesture of support, we, the ordinary, law-abiding majority in this country, need to speak out about the feral youths causing such havoc in our towns and villages.

We need to speak out against bad or non-existent parenting and the feeble or non-existent punishments meted out by our courts. The police deal with the same youths time and again and are, rightly, sick of it. As are we. J.M.HAINES, Spaldwick, Cambs

Woke it isn't but we still love a Punch and Judy show

Puppet classic: Mr Punch and wife Judy at Llandudno

I RECENTLY saw the oldest family-run Punch and Judy show in Britain (established in 1860), in Llandudno. It was marvellous. The adults and children watching loved it equally. It was the traditional show, with Punch hitting everyone and throwing the baby down the stairs. But make no mistake, the children knew right from wrong and told the policeman what Punch had done, where he was and so forth. If children never encounter references to the not-so-nice side of life, how will they be prepared to deal with it? Everybody had a wonderful time, making sure Punch

didn't get away with anything (oh, no, he didn't!). Please leave this last relic of traditional children's entertainment alone. I say long may the Codman family of Llandudno give us the proper, very funny Punch and Judy show, as they have done for five generations.

How is it fair to tax older people even more?

A PAPER for the Left-wing Institute for Public Policy Research suggests hitting those who have worked all their lives with more taxes, including extending National Insurance to pensioners and replacing council tax and stamp duty with a property tax aimed at homes over £500,000.

It is written by Oxford professor Ben Ansell, who has never had a job in the private sector, run a business or employed anyone. He knows nothing of how ordinary working people structure their lives. He is an academic, closeted in an arrogant world of knowing better than the rest of us. He has read books and held think-tank debates. He has no real-life experience yet, like all academics, can run a world he has never experienced. How can you help change anything for the better if you don't understand the basics of how the real world runs?

NEIL HODGKINSON, Leeds

THE policy of a switch to taxing assets instead of work is grossly unfair. I went out to work after doing A-levels at the age of 18. I paid income tax and NI throughout my working life. I had difficulty finding work and took whatever job I could find. My priorities were to get a foothold in some kind of skilled employment and get a mortgage on a home as soon as possible. As a young man, I ate an awful lot of beans on toast. I didn't go out to pubs or restaurants, drive fancy cars or go on holiday. Neither did I take drugs or steal. Paying the mortgage was top priority. I have paid stamp duty each time I moved home. In short, I have paid all taxes due and didn't complain. Now it's younger people's turn.

TAXATION is a percentage of what you earn, so the more you earn, the more you pay. If some people live in bigger houses, that means they are already in a higher council tax bracket. There should be no proposal for the Gestapo to visit homes to ensure their owners pay more tax. After all, councils will not be providing any extra services for these properties.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

QUESTION The father of the actor

Charles Dance was born 152 years ago in 1874 and served in the Second Boer War. Do any other celebrities have similarly 'stretched' ancestry?

SEVERAL other famous children have similarly long reaches into the past because their fathers had children late in life.

Christopher Chaplin, the youngest son of Charlie Chaplin, was born in 1962 when the silent film star was 73. Since Chaplin was born in 1889, Christopher, like Charles Dance, is the child of a father born under Queen Victoria.

The Spanish entertainer Julio Iglesias (born 1943) has a younger half-sister, Ruth Iglesias, whose story is even more startling. Ruth was born in 2006 to Julio Iglesias Sr, the singer's father, who was born in 1915 and had actually died at the age of 90 by the time she arrived.

Oscar-winning actor Anthony Quinn, also born in 1915, became a father for the final time to Ryan in 1996, aged 81. Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone also became a father again late in life with the arrival of his son Ace in 2020 when Ecclestone was 89. Ecclestone's eldest child, Deborah, was born in 1955, making her 65 years older than her half-brother.

QUESTION How are unrecorded crime rates calculated?

FIGURES are calculated via surveys such as the Crime Survey for England and Wales. This has found that only four in ten crimes are reported to the police. Participants are asked about their experiences of crime in the last 12 months. In the year 2025-26, 75,000 households have been asked and, traditionally, three-quarters of those asked respond. There's also the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey, and the Northern Ireland Safe Community Survey.

Many so-called minor offences are not reported to the police, so the Office for National Statistics says surveys are good indicators of levels of – and long-term trends in – crimes such as violence, theft, fraud, computer misuse and criminal damage.

Derek Jones, West Midlands

QUESTION Where is the biggest zoo in the world?

THE North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, USA, is widely recognised as the largest natural habitat zoo, meaning its enclosures closely resemble the natural environments of the animals housed there. Covering around 2,600 acres, the zoo is home to more than 1,700 animals from over 250 species and has around five miles of walking trails.

Whipsnade is the UK's largest. At 600 acres it's less than a quarter of the size but it is home to more than 10,000 animals.

Don't target the old for tax, Burnham

THE idea that young workers are taxed far too much while rich pensioners sit back and gloat is an entrenched grievance for a certain type of Left-leaning economist.

One of Labour's favourite think-tanks, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), has just put out a paper arguing the tax system is 'slanted towards the interests of older Britons with large amounts of accrued wealth and away from younger earners'.

The 'balance of responsibility' for meeting the nation's growing fiscal needs, the author adds, must shift.

This conflation of the old and the rich is a basic logical fallacy. Just because most rich people are old does not mean most old people are rich.

Nearly 2m pensioners are in poverty – or around one in six. Many of those are women, either widowed or divorced.

Yet the ageist stereotype of the elderly miser, found in the works of Roman playwright Plautus, as well as Moliere and

Ruth Sunderland

Dickens, is clearly still potent in Leftish economic thinking. The bogus assumption, never quite spelt out but lurking just beneath the surface, is that it is somehow unfair for older people to be better off than the young.

The reality – that most older individuals have built any wealth they possess through years of work and investment on which they have already been fulsomely taxed – is ignored. One of the IPPR's ideas is to change the rules where older employees are spared from having to pay any National Insurance Contributions (NIC) after they reach retirement age. The think-tank cites the case of a pensioner versus a graduate at income levels of £45,000 and £70,000, saying the former would pay a marginal rate of 20pc and 40pc respectively, while a youngster repaying a student loan could face rates of 37pc and 51pc.

It floats the idea of imposing NIC only on comparatively well-paid pensioners, which may not seem so unreasonable.

But if the principle of bringing pension-age people into the net were established, it would probably act as a Trojan Horse, raising the risk that more ageing workers would be pulled in over time.

CONSERVATIVE and Labour governments have deployed such 'fiscal drag' mercilessly to milk taxpayers over the past few years.

If that happened, it would be very harsh. Among the 1.75m over-65s who still work, median monthly earnings are a modest £1,596, lower than every other age group apart from the under 18s.

We do not know how many want to stay at work and how many are compelled to by financial hardship. Women, some ethnic minorities and manual labourers, whose interests the Left purports to defend, are much more likely to find themselves in the 'forced to' category, according to the charity Age UK.

How are they enjoying the fruits of a skewed tax system just because they are older?

And how insulting to say the old must pay more tax because they are not shouldering their financial responsibility to the young: just look at the multibillion-pound collective generosity of the Bank of Mum and Dad.

Labour is already undermining this natural impulse through changes to inheritance tax.

Other suggestions to hit the elderly are higher capital gains tax rates and property levies.

The IPPR is correct that an ageing population will become an enormous pressure on public finances.

Yet to assert that younger workers are suffering an unreasonable burden while rich oldies are 'protected' is not a solution: it is simply the peddling of divisive and unpleasant prejudice.

Chef Kerridge: Hospitality VAT cut is essential

Plea comes as temporary relief draws to a close

A CELEBRITY chef has urged Andy Burnham to deliver a permanent VAT cut for hospitality.

Tom Kerridge's plea to the Prime Minister comes as a temporary tax break for parts of the sector ends tomorrow.

The short-term VAT cut from 20pc to 5pc for children's meals in restaurants and tickets to family attractions ends.

The tax break from June 25 to September 1 was introduced after the Government said it wanted to 'help families enjoy weekend treats, days out, and day trips that make the most of the summer'.

Writing for the Daily Mail and This is Money, Kerridge said Labour 'has now recognised that VAT is the lever to pull to drive footfall, support families and back hospitality businesses through its summer VAT scheme'. But the chef added that this was 'time-limited and narrow in scope' despite being an 'important recognition'.

Kerridge said that the 'next

By Emily Hawkins

logical step is a lower rate for the entire hospitality sector'.

The chef, who is a familiar face on cooking television shows including Saturday Kitchen and the Great British Menu, has been campaigning for VAT to be cut from 20pc to 10pc to match rates in Europe.

Pubs, hotels and restaurants need 'breathing space to sur-

'An investment in businesses'

vive, invest and grow,' he said in his article, after food, energy and employment costs have risen while business rates are another 'headache'.

He accused the Government of 'making it harder to run a hospitality business in Britain' compared with rival European countries. Ireland cut the VAT rate for hospitality from 13.5pc to 9pc in July while France,

Italy and Spain have a 10pc rate. Kerridge argues that calls for a cut are not 'hospitality wanting a special favour' but 'about survival'.

His remarks come after interventions this week from Asda chairman Allan Leighton and Frasers Group tycoon Mike Ashley, who told the Government businesses needed respite from heavy taxes.

Kerridge, who was among 120 business bosses who backed Labour before the 2024 election saying the party had changed, wrote: 'A VAT cut isn't a hand-out. It is an investment in businesses that employ millions of people and generate billions for our economy.'

He said that when a pub or restaurant closes, 'you don't just lose a business' – communities lose jobs, footfall and a place for important social connections. The industry also often gives young people their first job, Kerridge argues, at a time when youth joblessness has hit worrying levels and been declared a national crisis.

BANANAS! GEN Z PICK FRUIT OVER FESTIVAL FAST FOOD

HEALTH-CONSCIOUS Gen Z festival-goers are ditching hot dogs and beer for fresh fruit and vitamin juices.

The trend was reported by the Co-op supermarket, which is operating temporary shops at major music events this summer.

Grape sales are up 38pc compared with last year and fruit pot sales have risen 11pc, according to data collected by the supermarket from events such as Download Festival, the Isle of Wight Festival and Latitude Festival. The Co-op has increased its stock of vitamin waters for this week-

end's Reading and Leeds (where Charli XCX, pictured, has starred) and Creamfields festivals by 150pc.

Georgina Coley, festivals partnership manager at the supermarket, said: 'It's clear that people don't want to leave their healthy habits at home.'

By JEFF POWELL MBE Boxing Correspondent

Boxing Correspondent

THE most alarming contribution to the inquest into the slaying of Moses came from the national hero of Croatia who was the real story of a Saturday night at the O2 which was dark for British boxing but dazzling to behold.

Filip Hrgovic said of our young Itauma: 'No, I didn't feel his power.'

That will be as devastating to the lad previously hailed as the next Mike Tyson as James Bond being told he is no longer attractive to women.

It will hurt even more than the punches which sent him reeling from domination to defeat and hospital on the evening he was supposed to become the second youngest world heavyweight champion of all time.

Power has been Itauma's middle name since he began felling giants like saplings. Suddenly, at 21, he is being likened to Samson, who lost his mythological strength when he had a haircut.

The next Mike Tyson? Moses boxed himself out like an amateur

Were there clues in how Hrgovic survived the first eight rounds of this IBF world title fight and countless punches — every one of which looked as if it would have knocked out a horse?

To suggest as much would be to downplay the superhuman heart and phenomenal resilience of chin with which Hrgovic realised his own lifelong ambition of global glory. Just in time at 34.

Nevertheless, Itauma could not finish him off. Which brings other factors into play. It is concerning, also, that

Britain's young lion should gas out the first time in his career he was required to go beyond six rounds.

Trainer Ben Davison finds himself under inquisition as to whether presumption of another early KO left Moses short on stamina build-up. Or did he simply punch himself out?

Whatever the reason, it was worrying to see one so young so exhausted as he staggered to extinction as early as the ninth round.

Certainly, Hrgovic put into words what many of us felt. That he was beaten largely by experience. The new champion who had vowed to 'smash the kid's face and send him back to high school' had this to say after he had done just that: 'He is a tremendous talent but he boxed like an amateur and must learn to fight like a professional.

'With more experience he would have known he was winning every round and what he should have done was box-out the fight to a points decision behind his jab. Not keep trying to knock me out. Although I knew he'd tire the longer the fight went.' But no power in his punches? Of being dropped once, in the second round, Hrgovic said: 'I didn't feel it.

He is very fast and caught me off balance with a punch I didn't see.'

As early as the fifth round Itauma was beginning to grimace at the physical demands being made of him and the heavy hits he, too, was taking. In the eighth he launched a desperate assault which Hrgovic not only rode out but also inflicted damage of his own.

So what next for the beaten young man tipped for the very top? Hrgovic's advice: 'Several easier fights to gain more experience and rebuild his confidence. And I do think that with his speed of hand he will become a world champion one day.'

To his credit, Itauma prodded out some punches at the start of the ninth but looked more like a fish floundering out of water. Hrgovic speared him with what he called 'strength which came from Jesus Christ'.

Promoter Frank Warren sympathised: 'A first defeat does take away that aura of invincibility and we will give Moses the time it takes to recover from that. He is still a very special talent.'

Meanwhile, heavyweight life goes on. Warren has announced October 17 at the O2 for a lip-smacking WBO world title rematch of the thunderous Battle of Britain between champion Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley.

Hrgovic will make his first championship defence against Cuban mandatory challenger Frank Sanchez and states his ambition when he says: 'I want to go on to a title unification fight against Daniel.'

It will be some while before Itauma rejoins the fray, from the back of the queue.

He went home from hospital yesterday morning to begin recuperation from the battering and also a leg injured as he reeled against the ropes.

The psychological wounds will take much longer to heal. Though not impossible. Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Lennox Lewis — to name but a few — all lost more than one fight and came back as champions.

But Moses Itauma the next Mike Tyson? Even as Hrgovic goes home to a hero's welcome in Zagreb, one thing we do know is that if the original Iron Mike had landed just one of the punches he took on Saturday night he would have been knocked out.

Second Innings

LAWRENCE BOOTH

Cricket Correspondent at Lord's

T has taken them 630 days, but England were finally able to celebrate a series victory shortly after 5.45pm on the fourth evening of this second Test when Josh Tongue induced a thick edge from Mohammad Ali, and Harry Brook swallowed a sharp chance at second slip.

If celebrations were muted, it was not simply because England might have forgotten how they work. Pakistan have provided as much resistance as a soggy napkin, and there is work ahead. Nothing less than a 3-0 whitewash at Edgbaston will suffice, at which point a testing winter trip to South Africa looms into view.

But victory by 194 runs, after being inserted under sepulchral skies on what has become English cricket's least predictable surface, was a job well done by a team who had begun the game fending off yet more questions about drink. They were as ruthless as they were professional, and we have not often been able to say that in the last year.

In pursuit of 389, Pakistan were dismissed for 194 — their fourth

sub-200 total in succession — and would not have got even as many as that but for a fighting 97 from Saud Shakeel.

England's efforts were led again by Ollie Robinson, who is enjoying a comeback summer like no other, and he added four wickets to the four he got on the second day. Match figures of 27-11-35-8 bore testimony to his metronomic menace, the kind on which Glenn McGrath built a long career.

And they took his Test record to 99 wickets at an average of 19.53. The last England bowler to claim more wickets at a better average is the legendary SF Barnes, who won his last cap before the outbreak of the First World War.

For all the off-field nonsense that has dogged him, Robinson is building a CV that would be the envy of many. Making expert use of the wobble-seam delivery, and on surfaces that accentuate his skills, he has been all but unplayable. Robinson triggered the carnage in the fifth over, nipping one back into left-handed opener Azan Awais, then bowling the right-handed Abdullah Shaflque with a beauty that pitched on off stump and straightened.

Later, with England held up by a fourth-wicket stand of 97, he overturned an lbw decision to get rid of Shan Masood for 26, before removing Mohammad Rizwan in his next over when Pakistan's wicketkeeper missed a sickening heave. Of Robinson's 16 wickets in this series at 7.18 each, eight have been leg-before — a stump-to-stump threat, if ever there was one.

Throw in the Lord's Test against New Zealand, and his summer's work amounts to 23 wickets at 8.34. The only pity is that England — the version led by Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes — felt unable to trust him against the New Zealanders on a flat Trent Bridge pitch in punishing temperatures. He has become the glue of this attack, and the perfect foil to his three quicker colleagues, each of whom topped 90mph on the fourth day. Even factoring in Jofra Archer's modest assertion on Friday evening that the

Delight: Root and Brook SHUTTERSTOCK

Lord's speed gun was faulty, there was no doubting the collective menace.

No vignette captured that better than the brute with which Archer removed Babar Azam, a 91mph bouncer that gave Pakistan's captain no time to think. The ball looped off the bat's top edge via his helmet and landed gently in the hands of Jordan Cox in the cordon. At 14 for three, there was no way back.

Shakeel fought hard, batting throughout the afternoon ses-

on, and later pulling Tongue for six, six and four in five balls to move to 96, only to fall in Tongue's next over when another pull shot was intercepted at

ENGLAND PLAYER RATINGS By LAWRENCE BOOTH

Abbas ended a run of three successive Lord's four-fors by completing figures five for 57 in the first 40 minutes of the morning.

And with opener Imam-ul-Haq still unable to bat because of a calf strain, it was left to Tongue to mop up the tail and condemn Pakistan to their 10th defeat in 11 away from home. Only Atkinson, relegated to second change, failed to take a wicket.

Excitement at the pace quartet has to be tempered by two factors. The pitch offered lavish assistance, while the Pakistan batting, Shakeel aside, was miserable.

But there is a tendency to hammer England when they struggle, and to explain their successes by diminishing their opponents.

The evidence of the first two Tests is that Joe Root's four-pronged seam attack are expertly exploiting helpful conditions against a team with little facility to resist them.

England have been excellent, Pakistan poor. Two things can be true at once. And one truth was undeniable: after all the side-shows, England have a winning Test team again.

BEN DUCKETT

Trapped lbw again by Abbas, then chipped tamely to mid-off. Average of just under 39 is at its lowest for three and a half years.

EMILIO GAY

Strangled down leg in first innings and battled hard on second evening but was undone by a grubber. Jury remains out.

JORDAN COX

Patient half-century on first day confirmed view he must keep place when Jacob Bethell returns. An asset at third slip.

JOE ROOT

Has grown in stature, but cannot avoid falling lbw. Has now been dismissed that way in nine of his last 12 Test innings.

HARRY BROOK

Did his best to overcome the conditions, but still looks shackled when wicketkeeper comes up to the stumps.

DAN LAWRENCE

Did long-term prospects no harm with half-century between showers on third day. Run-out on first day was less smart.

JAMIE SMITH

Helped dig England out of a hole on first day, kept well and lost his wicket trying to force pace on third.

GUS ATKINSON

Deserved better than to go wicketless, while batted well for 45 to give England a match-winning buffer.

OLLIE ROBINSON

Unplayable at times. Of his type, and on his day, he is among the best in the world.

JOFRA ARCHER

Bowled as fast as he did in his 2019 pomp, and in another game might have doubled match haul of five wickets.

JOSH TONGUE

Worked over Babar brilliantly in first innings and in second was used as battering ram to bounce out Shakeel. Also made 42 runs.

INSIDE SPORT

Infantino's plane grounded as UEFA step up legal fight

GIANNI INFANTINO'S gargantuan carbon footprint came to a mysterious, temporary halt over the weekend.

Last week, Inside Sport revealed how the FIFA president had been clocking up the air miles at a staggering rate as he clings on to his job in the wake of the World Cup sell-off scandal.

Infantino (right) was due to rub shoulders with US senators and Wall Street billionaires at a Milken Institute event in the Hamptons, outside New York, on Friday night.

But his Qatari-funded private jet stayed on the tarmac in Doha, where he has a home, after he cancelled plans to speak at the exclusive gathering.

The day before, UEFA filed court papers in several US states seeking documents it believes could support a prosecution for criminal mismanagement in Switzerland over Infantino's failed plot to flog stakes in the World Cup.

Mystery also surrounds the jet's movements earlier in the week. On Tuesday it flew from Paris, where Infantino had attended the Esports World Cup, to Majorca for a matter of hours, then on to Pisa for roughly seven more before carrying him to Hanoi for the ASEAN Cup final.

While Inside Sport would not want to make any assumptions, it is interesting to note that Josh Kushner, the brother of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and heavily tied to the scandal through his Thrive Capital venture, has holidayed in the Vietnamese capital city in the past.

QATAR appears to be treading a fine line, balancing support for Infantino with an attempt to curry favour with the IOC to host the 2036 Olympics. Most of the Olympic world would not be opposed to bringing private equity into their competitions as, unlike FIFA, other international federations need the cash. However, there is disapproval across the Olympic movement at the lack of transparency and governance in the way Infantino introduced his plan.

TRIBUTES were paid at Premier League matches yesterday to the two police officers killed near Middlesbrough.

Match officials at Leeds v Brentford wore black armbands, with referee Tony Harrington a friend of PC Matthew Blades, who died with PC Tom Clough when their vehicle was hit by a car driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway. PC Blades' two children were mascots at Manchester United's game with Ipswich. PC Blades was a keen United fan. United also unveiled a platform in tribute to Chas Banks MBE, the former secretary of the club's disabled supporters association who passed away in 2024.

EYEBROWS have been raised at the departure of popular England cricket men's team communications chief Danny Reuben after 10 years in the role. Inside Sport has previously reported that the Yorkshireman has admirers within the Australian set-up. One to watch ahead of the next Ashes.

WHILE the great and good of European football descended on Monaco last week for the Champions League draw, many eyes in the principality were elsewhere. Hollywood big-hitters Bradley Cooper and Margot Robbie were in town to shoot scenes for an Ocean's Eleven prequel. Part of the story is set against the backdrop of the 1962 Grand Prix, with the famous circuit taken back to that era with the arrival of replica vintage cars.

THE traditional after-draw party usually features the opening of the roof at the Monte Carlo Sporting centre, so guests from the continent's elite can enjoy a no-expenses-spared light show. This year, however, the roof remained closed, with a pair of trapeze artists dressed as human disco balls the main entertainment at the UEFA event. Given the storm over FIFA's obsession with money, some wondered whether their European rivals had toned it down on purpose.

Barcola on his way as Liverpool also eye Sarr's signing

■ LIVERPOOL are continuing talks over CRYSTAL PALACE forward Ismaila Sarr (right), who is pushing to join the Anfield club. Liverpool, who will sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain today for £123million, are also maintaining contact with BRIGHTON winger Yankuba Minteh as they prepare for Cody Gakpo's sale to MANCHESTER CITY. City's first offer for the Dutchman was understood to be short of Liverpool's valuation, but an agreement is expected. City are also in the throes of discussing a permanent departure of Jack Grealish to EVERTON and will continue negotiations for CHELSEA'S Enzo Fernandez. The Blues are closing on Monaco's Lamine Camara, but want two midfielders if Fernandez goes. ■ BRIGHTON have had their latest £10.5m offer rejected for MILLWALL winger Femi Azeez, but expect to sign the 25-year-old before Tuesday.

■ JUVENTUS have offered a

WINDOW WATCH By SIMON JONES

£1.7m loan fee for TOTTENHAM midfielder Pape Matar Sarr. The deal would become permanent for £23million if Juventus qualify for the Champions League. The Italians are also maintaining contact with MANCHESTER UNITED for Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee.

■ SUNDERLAND have revived their bid to sign TOTTENHAM defender Kevin Danso after having a loan offer rejected. Their revised offer is set to be a loan with an obligation to buy. ■ ASTON VILLA are finalising a £30m package with SOUTHAMPTON to sign centre back Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Talks are ongoing, with the fee £25m plus £5m in add-ons. ■ CRYSTAL PALACE are in talks for Marseille midfielder Quinten Timber.

■ NOTTINGHAM FOREST winger Omari Hutchinson arrived in Italy last night ahead of his loan to AC MILAN. HULL CITY have made a £10m bid for STOKE winger Sorba Thomas, their third bid. Stoke want a replacement though. WREXHAM are signing Joe Worrall from BURNLEY for £2m, with Conor Coady set to leave by mutual consent so he can become a free agent. LEEDS UNITED are exploring a move for WOLVES forward Mateus Mane, 18. Striker Sasa Kalajdzic has left for LASK.

■ LIVERPOOL and Celta Vigo are close to agreement on a deal for midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, 21. Talks are centring on a nominal fee, with a substantial sell-on clause. ■ ASTON VILLA defender Triston Rowe is to join Belgian leaders Charleroi on loan. ■ LEICESTER CITY midfielder Hamza Choudhury is joining SHEFFIELD UNITED. The Blades stepped in for the 28-year-old Bangladesh international as he was on his way to sign for DERBY COUNTY.

■ Al Ettifaq have agreed a £3.5m deal to sign MIDDLESBROUGH midfielder Abdoulaye Kante. ■ LIVERPOOL are among clubs monitoring highly-rated Genk goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans. ■ BRIGHTON have signed 18-year-old midfielder Matias Orozco from Deportivo Cali on a five-year contract for £3.5m. ■ EVERTON are continuing talks for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun.

■ COVENTRY CITY have signed Stephen Mfuni, 18, on a season's loan from MANCHESTER CITY.

Everton fans win battle to keep Armstrong but owners face big questions

WHEN the Friedkin Group were handed the keys to Everton in

December 2024, they could have walked into any pub by Goodison Park, or their swanky new waterfront stadium, and had a queue of thousands trying to buy them a pint.

Now, the Americans would probably get an earful of abuse. Frontman Dan need not worry about that, mind — nearly two years after buying the club, he has still not been seen anywhere near a match.

That, in itself, is indicative of an ownership group detached from reality, which was thrust into evidence this weekend amid fan mutiny.

There has been a civil war brewing for several weeks at Everton, but it escalated intensely on Saturday morning when reports emerged that the club was planning to cash in on 19-year-old homegrown midfielder Harrison Armstrong.

The next day, the club agreed to sell Iliman Ndiaye, one of Everton's best players.

It was not the fine details of the proposed Armstrong exit that mattered, but the principle.

He is not going to suddenly take the club to the Champions League on his own, nor is he the second coming of academy graduate Wayne Rooney and, at face value, a mooted £40million fee might be good business for a player with just 24 first-team appearances and zero goals.

But he is the best talent produced in some time from a faltering academy which was set back several years by the previous owners plunging the club into a financial pickle, meaning they had to sell their best youngsters and were not able to invest properly in the development teams.

He represents a role model to every other kid in the academy, a Scouse heartbeat of the team living out most fans' dreams of playing for their boyhood club.

Supporters who made the arduous trip to a rainy Bournemouth voted with their voices before, during and after the 1-1 draw by singing about rioting if the club sold Armstrong. Fan power eventually won, with the club pulling the plug on the move.

Daily Mail Sport understands the board was unanimous in that decision, having considered the offer on the table from Nottingham Forest. Yesterday

morning, calls were made to the Midlands club to inform them Armstrong would be staying put. So that's that, then, TFG would hope. But it does not work like that. Trust is a precious commodity which takes significant time to build up, but just seconds to erode.

If the final days of the transfer window go as Everton fans hope, they might forgive the owners for this embarrassing episode. But they will not forget.

Although he would never publicly admit it, few could blame manager David Moyes if he were left irked. This appears to be the nadir of a frustrating month for the Scot.

He has cut a dejected figure in press conferences this season and body language experts might describe him as in a sulk. Some fans have picked up on it and were aggrieved at him last week for his comments on the importance of cup competitions.

But the last few days have seen supporters understand why he has looked so grumpy. It

is clear the manager and the hierarchy are at odds. It all began when

Top man: Ndiaye is going GETTY

chief executive Angus Kinnear said in an interview with BBC Radio Merseyside that last season was a 'failure', as Everton flirted with returning to European football but ultimately missed out.

That would be a fair comment in, say, a couple of years had the board backed Everton in the transfer window. As it stands, though, 14 top-flight clubs have spent more money this summer.

There are a lot of moving parts in the final days of the window but Ndiaye, one of the club's best players, now looks likely to leave.

They have needed a right back for well over a year, but have waited until the final days of this summer to agree a £9.4m deal for Kenny Tete, 30, from Fulham.

Ndiaye is extremely talented and, at £60m, Tottenham may well have got a bargain. Moyes values players who can keep the ball, relieving pressure on team-mates, and he will certainly be losing one of those. Richarlison, 29, will come the other way for £35m.

The owners could justifiably claim that Ndiaye has turned down offers of a new contract and that cashing in at some

point was a sensible — perhaps inevitable — strategy.

But it would be an easier sell to fans had Ndiaye pushed to join a team like Real Madrid, Manchester City or Arsenal — and if they had received an eye-watering sum a month ago, with plenty of time to recruit a suitable eplacement.

But days before the end of the window? Supporters and Moyes are right to question the ambition of their owners.

This summer should have been about strengthening the attack, not letting their best attacker go. Striker Thierno Barry has started the campaign well, with four goals in three games, but the youngster is not yet consistent and a real No 9 would have been a huge upgrade on last season.

After beating Chelsea on March 20, Everton were three points off the Champions League spots, but did not win another game and fell down the table. The feeling was that, with a few more players, they could take that next step and be a disruptor to the Big Six.

But clearly the board had other ideas and maybe their hand has been forced by squad cost ratio.

Had the boss had his way this summer, he might have already signed striker Folarin Balogun from Monaco, or defenders Ola Aina from Nottingham Forest or Guela Doue at Strasbourg.

Yet the window has not been a complete catastrophe. The signing of Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough is shrewd business, while Moyes likes Brennan Johnson, who can play across the front three. Tyrique George, who made a loan from Chelsea permanent, has impressed this summer.

Last year's loanee Jack Grealish and Richarlison look poised to return to the club,

No way: a sale of Armstrong was not well received

Grealish on another loan. Both would be great signings—especially if Ndiaye was not being let go—and are fan favourites,

but they are now aged 30 and 29, with sketchy injury records.

Tete, too, is an experienced asset who Moyes tried to buy last year. All three are good players, but are potentially past their peak years and the recruitment of younger players would have left the club in a stronger position to reach their goals in the long-term.

Fans hoped for a window where Everton made the next step in their pursuit of European football and winning a first trophy since 1995. Instead, Moyes will be left with more questions than answers.

One answer we do have, though, is the reason why the Everton manager has sported an upside down smile in public so far this season.

Just like that, the Toffees are back to having a hierarchy on trial with the fans.

Brit pack inspired by 'incredible' Fery

HARRY WENDELKEN says he and his fellow Brits are drawing upon Arthur Fery's miracle run at this year's Wimbledon after a record number qualified for the US Open main draw. Fery became the surprise package at SW19 after being handed a wildcard, reaching the semi-finals before being beaten by Alexander Zverev. Wendelken, who also received a wildcard at Wimbledon but lost

TENNIS

at Flushing Meadows

in the first round, has stormed through qualifying in New York to book a clash against No 21 seed Luciano Darderi. For the 24-year-old, Fery's performance on home soil has served as rocket fuel for him

and his compatriots. 'What he did at Wimbledon may never happen again,' he said. 'It's given us a lot of confidence to see someone who we know, someone who we train with, do something that incredible. It gives us motivation.' Wendelken also believes Fery has been quick to show his success was 'not a fluke', after he became the British No1 again on the heels of reaching the final of the Winston-Salem Open on Saturday. Eight British players are in the main draw, with Cameron Norrie, Katie Boulter, Jacob Fearnley and Toby Samuel all playing overnight. Wendelken and fellow qualifier Harriet Dart — who faces home favourite Peyton Stearns — are in action today. Fery and Jan Choinski will play on Wednesday.

Tough opener: Wendelken GETTY

How Villa and Chelsea help each other navigate financial rules

Premier League Swap Shop!

By TOM COLLOMOSSE and KIERAN GILL

THE name Omari Kellyman probably means relatively little to most Premier League fans, yet the young attacking midfielder is a crucial figure in relations between two of its most prominent clubs.

Two summers ago, Kellyman moved from Aston Villa to Chelsea for £19million. It seemed a high fee for a player who had made only six first-team appearances.

Blues academy product Ian Maatsen moved in the opposite direction for £37.5m and has played 91 times for Villa, though he has rarely been first choice at left back. Kellyman, 20, moved to Strasbourg this month having never played a first-team game for Chelsea.

Summer 2024 was a time of widespread panic about the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules, as clubs scrambled to avoid points deductions. There is no suggestion of anything untoward on the part of either club, though Villa and Chelsea were warned by UEFA in summer 2025 that they were looking closely at so-called 'swap deals'.

Both are currently on the naughty step with European football chiefs having been fined in

WATCHING BRIEF... ASTON VILLA v ARSENAL

summer 2025 and are having to follow strict financial rules. Which brings us to the current window. Nicolas Jackson's £65m switch from Stamford Bridge to Villa is the fourth transfer between the clubs, starting with Morgan Rogers' £117m move to Chelsea on July 21. Villa need a centre back before the window closes and as Chelsea have too many, the story may not end here.

Villa boss Unai Emery said Chelsea and Villa wanted to 'kill' each other on the pitch. Off it, though, the clubs seem to enjoy a healthier relationship.

Switches: Rogers and Martinez have gone from Villa to Chelsea, while Jackson and Garnacho have gone the other way GETTY IMAGES

MOVERS AND SHAKERS...

VILLA co-owner Nassef Sawiris and his Chelsea counterpart Behdad Eghbali are decisive operators and if the people in charge can pick up the phone to one another, negotiations tend to move quicker.

‘Both are operating under UEFA cost control sanctions and have to follow a business plan,’ said football finance expert Kieran Maguire.

'The two clubs traded Maatsen and Kellyman in 2024 in a deal that made profits for both under Premier League rules, but not those of UEFA.'

Emery, however, gave short shrift to suggestions of co-operation. 'Good relations?' he said. 'The relationship is only through deals for money. They want to kill us and we want to kill them. We have players and we can sign their players but they're deals for money and players. They signed Morgan and Emiliano Martinez to kill us.'

At least two weeks before Rogers' move to Chelsea was announced, Daily Mail Sport understands that transfer was being talked about openly in Premier League dressing rooms.

Similarly, Villa had been chasing wide attackers for much of the summer and had considered Harvey Barnes and Crysencio Summerville, among others. Yet in the end, they took Alejandro Garnacho, a player Chelsea did not want, who is now on loan.

Youngster George Hemmings was preferred to Garnacho in the opening day thrashing at Brighton and the Argentine did not come on until the 86th minute, even though Villa were 4-0 down by half-time. With Ibrahim Mbaye, a long-term target, now through the door, Garnacho is competing for spots with Hemmings, Mbaye, John McGinn and Emi Buendia, who can all operate on the flanks.

Though there was tentative interest from Tottenham in Jackson, Daily Mail Sport was told in late July that if the Senegal forward left Chelsea, it would be for Villa. Likewise, when Villa had an Emi Martinez-shaped problem and Chelsea needed a goalkeeper, the next steps were no surprise. All of this is perfectly within the rules and when clubs are constantly trying to manage UEFA's often baffling rules, they will pull any legal lever they can. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

WHO HAS THE EDGE?

LOOKING at these deals with fresh eyes, you would assume Chelsea were in the Champions League and Villa were absent from Europe and not the other way around.

The Stamford Bridge club have taken a World Cup winning goalkeeper and one of the best English attackers from Villa. In return, they have sent them two players they no longer wanted.

Dig a little deeper, though. To follow the business plan imposed by UEFA, Villa needed a big sale and Rogers was by far their top asset, so he went for £117m. When Villa signed Zion Suzuki, Martinez looked like he was going to Juventus. That move collapsed and suddenly Villa had three senior goalkeepers, including their highest earner.

Now Chelsea have taken away that burden, while landing a huge upgrade on the shaky Robert Sanchez.

According to the Deloitte Money League, Chelsea's revenue for 2025 was more than £100m greater than Villa's, and they are highly efficient sellers. Chelsea's buys may help them win the title.

The reward for Villa is unlikely to be as great, especially regarding

Garnacho, and it will soon become clear how much Emery really wanted the 22-year-old.

Last season, Villa took Harvey Elliott on loan from Liverpool only to decide they did not want him. Villa barely played him all season, so they did not have to sign him permanently. There is a similar obligation in Garnacho's arrangement. Watch this space.

Yet Jackson is a different kettle of fish and may prove the ideal successor to Ollie Watkins. The 25-year-old started well at Chelsea, but then-boss Enzo Maresca lost patience with his poor disciplinary record — eight yellow and two red cards in the 2024-25 season. He then struggled to make an impression on loan at Bayern Munich, despite scoring eight goals in 12 league starts.

With Emery, though, it should be different. The pair first worked together at Villarreal and though Emery had left when Jackson really took off, scoring 10 goals in 11 games in 2023 before moving to Chelsea, the connection had been forged. Jackson trusts Emery and vice-versa. Emery likes players who fit into his plans immediately and Jackson should do that.

THE HAND OF SAWIRIS

LITTLE happens at Aston Villa without the approval of Emery. He has been given free rein to hire the staff he likes and — regardless of the version the club like to push — he has been given a level of control over transfers that few managers have. It is highly unlikely that Sawiris would allow anything that Emery had vetoed.

Yet the Egyptian billionaire is becoming an ever more significant player in European football and this has been noticeable during the transfer window.

Daily Mail Sport first revealed on May 1 that Villa wanted Mbaye and the deal was helped by the personal rapport between Sawiris and Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

When Emery was hired in autumn 2022, former chief executive Christian Purslow namechecked Jorge Mendes' agency, Gestifute, in his opening remarks. Mendes has a good relationship with Emery and had proposed AC Milan forward Rafael Leao to Villa, though the Portugal international ultimately chose the far higher salary on offer at Galatasaray.

Mendes is also believed to have brokered Mbaye's move to Villa Park, and last summer he is thought to have been involved in trying to find a new club for Martinez, who has now ended up at Stamford Bridge.

Not everyone in football is fond of Mendes, but given his connections it makes sense to keep him in your contacts list.

The coming months — indeed, the next 48 hours — will tell us which of these clubs will do better from their trading. Yet with UEFA creating an ever more complicated financial puzzle for clubs to solve, is it really any surprise if they help one another out?

SUNDERLAND Isidor 75 FULHAM

SIMON BIRD at the Stadium of Light

NFUSED with anticipation of playing at the San Siro in the Europa

League, Regis Le Bris's side delivered the kind of efficient, mean, stifling performance 1990s Milan would be proud of.

The verdict on whether Sunderland can cope with competing in Europe and replicating their soaring Premier League form of last season will come later.

For now, they have proved the grind, organisation and spirit that eked out a seventh-place finish last term remain an asset.

There was excitement on Wearside this weekend as the Europa League fixtures were organised, but not so much during this scrap.

It was finally lit up by the introduction of Wilson Isidor, whose 75th-minute winner got the Mackems up and running with their first points of the campaign.

Playing on the continent for the first time in more than 50 years will be a memory-making highlight this season, including an opening home game against AZ Alkmaar on September 16 and the trip to Milan in December.

But there are domestic priorities to take care of. Any chance of the cliched second-season syndrome neutering Le Bris's men seems unlikely. Squeezing out narrow victories from nowhere is their super-skill.

As 70 minutes elapsed, the home side's expected-goals rating was 0.17 and there had been only one shot on target. A safety-first tussle was lacking a flash of brilliance. Then came a double substitution that injected life into the home attack.

Just before he scored, Isidor, fresh from signing a new four-year deal, fired against the post, a bad miss from Enzo Le Fee's perfect left-wing cross, after Granit Xhaka's long ping over the top.

Le Bris fell to his knees in frustration. 'It was so well played, it was just... finish it. No. Are my knees OK? I will have to review the clip!' he said. But moments later came an almost identical cross, this time from fellow sub

Now bring on Milan

Mean at the back and efficient up front, Sunderland look just like old Italian masters as they gear up for San Siro

Habib Diarra on the right wing, and Isidor made no mistake.

He had posted a picture in the week of himself standing as a kid at the San Siro, writing: 'Always believe in you and your goals.' And here he staked his claim to lead the line ahead of out-of-sorts Brian Brobbey, whom he replaced 10 minutes before scoring.

Le Bris, who hinted at trying for 'one or two' new signings before the transfer deadline, added: 'You can underestimate Sunderland, it fuels our energy. We have to raise our level and I think we are getting better. Our flexibility, too. How do you take risks and stay organised?

We decided to have new energy with the subs. They were so intense. We change our intensity with 30 per cent more energy. They did well.

Fulham are still looking for their first points and did not muster a shot on target. Alex Iwobi carved out the first chance of a pedestrian opening quarter by clipping a ball into Josh King, who sliced over. It was a rare attacking moment. After the break, Nordi Mukiele slid in to block Gonzalo Garcia's shot.

Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa said: 'It wasn't our game. We were far from our level. It is a difficult stadium against a European team. We needed more energy and improved in the second half, then conceded.

‘We can improve many things in our game. We demand more from ourselves. We are working to improve the squad.’

Jesus poised for Barcelona switch

ARSENAL striker Gabriel Jesus is set for a move to Barcelona, who are closing in on a deal worth around £8.6million. The Brazilian was left out of the Gunners squad for their first two games of the season and has been training away from the first team. He joined Arsenal in 2022 after five years at Manchester City, but has largely played a bit-part role under Mikel Arteta and missed most of 2025 with a cruciate ligament tear. They signed Viktor Gyokeres to be their No 1 striker last summer and are now pushing

By ISAAN KHAN

ahead with a big-money move for Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. The deal for Jesus, 29, is not finalised, but is likely to be completed before tomorrow's deadline. He has agreed a two-year contract. As Daily Mail Sport reported this month, Jesus was a target for Napoli, but turned down the switch to Italy.

The move comes with Arsenal still hoping to sign Alvarez, who has been told he cannot move to Barca. Atletico have told the forward, also a former

Manchester City star, to move to Arsenal or stay at the club. He missed training for a third day running on Friday, but later trained alone. Alvarez has been absent citing illness since Atletico told him they would not sell him to their La Liga rivals. Arsenal are willing to pay up to £128m for the Argentine if he opts to join them now. The Gunners have also agreed a £55.7m fee with Al Hilal to sell Gabriel Martinelli and a deal worth £7.8m for midfielder Fabio Vieira to join Hamburg.

THREE up after just 32 minutes, the talk was inevitable. About Chelsea as surprise

title contenders. About Arsenal being worried. About everyone else in the Premier League inheriting a problem with the arrival of Xabi Alonso as manager.

What Chelsea can offer in front of goal is frighteningly good. In Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers, they have an attacking trident worthy of title talk. It is as elite as any in England, maybe even Europe.

Entertaining as it is to watch, however, Chelsea cannot rely on outscoring the opposition every week in order to challenge at the very top. Control tends to trump chaos when it comes to crowning champions and what followed after they stormed into a 3-0 lead told us why we are right to have reservations about them.

First, how they secured such a lead. Chelsea's opening goal came from a corner which was fumbled by Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen and tapped in by Romeo Lavia, Alonso immediately congratulating his new set-piece specialist Austin MacPhee for how he set it up.

Their second arrived after Jorrel Hato's throw-in was flicked on by Joao Pedro for Rogers. Out of nowhere, Pedro Neto burst into the box to bury his team-mate's pass with perfect timing.

Their third came after a clever turn and pass from Rogers in his own half as Hato flew forward down the left-hand side, his speed and the accuracy of his pass inside setting up Joao Pedro.

The Brazilian did not quite copy Emmanuel Adebayor, whose celebration in front of the Arsenal end after scoring for Manchester City in 2009 went down in Premier League folklore, but he made a point of positioning himself in front of Brighton's fans, who had been taunting their former player all afternoon.

The fast and furious nature of Chelsea's third goal arguably summed up Alonso's approach. They finished with only 25.6 per cent possession, having managed only 38.1 per cent at Fulham. From back to front in three passes, they were coasting.

However, it is at the other end where pressing questions have to be asked. Chelsea have tried to help correct those problems by bringing in goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for £7.5 million from Aston Villa and he is certainly an upgrade on Robert Sanchez. It was Sanchez's performance at Fulham last weekend which forced the Blues into a rethink, after a summer spent insisting they were not in the market for goalkeepers. It was painfully obvious they would not stand a chance of rivalling Arsenal if they stood by Sanchez. It was not only the two avoidable goals he conceded in that 3-2 victory — he even dribbled the ball out of play for a corner at one stage.

Chelsea rushed through the signing of Martinez. The Argentinian, who turns 34 this week, was officially announced yesterday morning and then started in the afternoon, with 21-year-old Mike Penders on the substitutes' bench and Sanchez informed he is now up for sale.

Martinez performed well considering this was his first appearance since the World Cup final six weeks ago. Yet Chelsea's defence was unable to cope with the pressure applied by Brighton.

The visitors' first goal was from a counter-attack which Neto should have killed when the ball was there to be won. Martinez initially stopped Charalampos Kostoulas, but Malick Yalcouye volleyed in the rebound, with a little luck as it smacked the woodwork on its way in.

Their second came from a corner which was worked short. Palmer did not spot a run behind him from Pascal Gross, whose cross took a wicked deflection off Joao Pedro to beat Martinez.

Suddenly, Chelsea's 3-0 advantage had been reduced to a marginal 3-2 lead and it was only because of their awesome attack that Alonso's side were able to seal the victory.

Palmer's finish was fabulous and with that Alonso's technical area could no longer hold him. The Blues boss jumped out of his box and into the air, pumping his fists toward the fans.

England manager Thomas Tuchel was sat next to Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti in the stands. They may have been talking about their regretful summers, after leaving Palmer and Joao Pedro at home for the World Cup.

Palmer's strike gave Chelsea enough daylight that Brighton's stoppage-time header from Gross was merely a consolation, after Moises Caicedo was forced off injured and with Enzo Fernandez again missing amid Manchester City's circling.

Midfield will be a particular area worth watching in the build-up to deadline day.

Stamford Bridge's Shed End unveiled a 'Not too Xabi — Alonso is a Blue' banner before kick-off.

However, if Alonso's Chelsea are to stay in this title conversation, they need to find a way to be as tight at the back as they are free-flowing up top.

Alonso hails impact of new boy Martinez as Sanchez faces exit

BOBBY MANZI at Stamford Bridge

XABI ALONSO felt Emiliano Martinez's 'aura' on his Chelsea debut, despite his new goalkeeper conceding three goals. Martinez's £7.5 million move from Aston Villa was not announced until yesterday morning, but the Argentine was allowed to play, having been registered with the Premier League on Friday.

He made an impressive start, too, making four saves, and could not have done much to prevent Brighton's goals.

Martinez is known for his provocative antics, often showboating and winding up the crowd, which Alonso reckons adds an edge to his Chelsea team.

'Emi is a World Cup winner, is 33 years old, and is very experienced. He felt ready, so I don't have to tell him many things to perform,' Alonso said. 'A keeper wants a clean sheet, but I am happy with his first impact. We will feel his presence because he has charisma and aura to influence and have a positive connection with the squad.' Martinez replaced Robert Sanchez, leaving his future in doubt. Enzo Fernandez could also leave before the transfer window closes tomorrow as Manchester City weigh up a £120m swoop. The Argentine midfielder has been left out of Chelsea's squad for their past two matches, Alonso saying: 'We will see what happens. We want the best for the team, that's why we took the decision. We are preparing for all scenarios. Whatever happens, from Wednesday, we will have a good enough squad to compete.'

25.6%

CHELSEA had just 25.6 per cent possession against Brighton – their lowest in the Premier League since Opta's records began in 2003. Their 146 successful passes was also a Premier League low for the Blues.

Farke salutes 'never-say-die attitude' after Leeds hit back

LEEDS UNITED 1 BRENTFORD 1 ROSS HEPPENSTALL at Elland Road

THERE has been plenty of hype surrounding Leeds this summer after some big-money signings and the start of a stadium redevelopment.

But they needed a late equaliser from Dominic Calvert-Lewin to salvage a point against an upwardly mobile Brentford side, who outplayed their hosts comprehensively during the first half.

Keith Andrews' dashing men in black threatened to run amok, but Kevin Schade's delightful 41st-minute strike was their only reward before the interval. There was even a smattering of boos from the home stands, but boss Daniel Farke boldly changed formation at the break

— switching from his customary back three to a flat back four — and Leeds improved markedly. With 11 minutes remaining, Calvert-Lewin fired home from close range to leave both managers satisfied at maintaining their respective unbeaten starts to the season. Farke, who handed home debuts to James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic, Nico Elvedi and Harry Wilson, said: "I'm very proud of my boys for their reaction in the second half. 'After back-to-back wins at Nottingham Forest in the league and Carabao Cup, everyone was excited. But we were up against a red-hot, in-form Brentford side, who showed so much quality in the first half.

'I asked a lot of my players because we changed formation but we didn't crumble — we showed a never-say-die attitude and got our rewards.'

Brentford, still bubbling from their opening-day 3-0 win over Tottenham and a 6-1 victory at Birmingham in the Carabao Cup, had Leeds on the ropes during the first half.

The Whites were not helped by the loss of defender Joe Rodon, who came off with a hamstring injury after 34 minutes, and Brentford led when Schade provided a deft touch to dispatch Keane Lewis-Potter's left-wing cross.

But the formation switch — and second-half introduction of Ao Tanaka, Wilson, Dan James and Lucas Nmecha — saw Leeds gradually ask questions of an impressive Bees backline.

The pressure told when Nmecha's low right-wing cross was fired home by Calvert-Lewin. Andrews reflected: 'We could have tested Trafford a bit more with the territory and control

that we had in the first half. We became a bit content with being in their final third without really putting the knife in.

'The storm was always going to come — Daniel made changes at half-time — and it's not easy when the crowd get going here. 'It's an amazing place to play and always a spicy atmosphere, which I really love, but you've got to be ready for every punch that gets thrown at you.' Brentford had 22 shots — five on target, which saw Trafford make some decent saves — and always held a lingering threat through Igor Thiago.

They were denied a penalty midway through the second half when Jayden Bogle appeared to foul Schade inside the box. Andrews said: 'The fact I've been asked about this a few times would suggest there's something in that.'

The Bees finished ninth last term, and Leeds 14th, but some ambitious recruitment has both clubs well-placed to kick on again this season.

Andrews spoke of a new-found confidence in his team's attacking ambition and admitted to a slight disappointment at not taking all three points.

Leeds, meanwhile, are trying to add to their squad before the window closes.

Farke said: 'I'm very happy with the players I've got, but it's not the biggest group and one or two more additions would definitely be helpful.'

Fernandes lifts United out of mire but they're leakier than the roof at Old Trafford

BY the time the heavens opened over Old Trafford, the lightning flashed, the thunder rumbled overhead and the roof sprang another leak, the proverbial storm clouds gathering over Manchester United had long since passed.

But for 10 minutes before half-time, United were facing the unthinkable scenario of losing their opening two games of the season to newly promoted Hull City and Ipswich Town.

The visitors from East Anglia led through a Leif Davis goal and were threatening to plunge Michael Carrick and his team into crisis before August is out and the transfer window has closed by winning here for the first time since 1984.

United deserve credit for responding to adversity so emphatically in a quite barnstorming game of football. They got a couple of lucky breaks, not least when Marcelino Nunez's slip led to the equaliser and the second goal was allowed to stand after Harry Maguire wasn't penalised for handling the ball. Who thinks up these rules?

Having been given a nudge in the right direction, United took full advantage with a second-half onslaught that was as relentless as the deluge that battered this old place. Carrick wants his team to play on the front foot, and a total of 33 shots — their most in a decade — suggests he is on the

Spot on: the captain converts a penalty to put United ahead GETTY IMAGES That does the trick:

Once again, United were grateful to their captain Bruno Fernandes for dragging them out of the mire. Fernandes scored a hat-trick — the third of his Old Trafford career — and got a first assist of the season after making a Premier League record 21 of them last term.

right track, whatever concerns exist over his defence.

At the end of a week in which he received the PFA Players' Player of the Year award in recognition of his feat, Fernandes provided yet more evidence of his enduring importance to this team.

Davis 29, Akpom 90+1

There hasn't been quite the same level of speculation over his future as a year ago, but with 10 months left on a contract that includes an option for United to extend it by another year until June 2028, it still feels as though he is the one player that United simply cannot do without.

On the day Carlos Baleba was paraded on the pitch before kick-off, and other midfield signings Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos made their home debuts, here was Fernandes stealing the show again.

There were other big plusses for Carrick. Kobbie Mainoo was selected ahead of Santos and showed how important he will be if the £155million midfield rebuild is to be a success.

Marcus Rashford made his first United start for 626 days and showed the raw enthusiasm that turned him into a local hero before it all went wrong and he drifted away to Aston Villa and Barcelona on loan. We wondered how Old Trafford would react to his return, but there was genuine warmth from the stands.

There are still cracks this win won't paper over, in particular the issue at left back which has lingered all summer and shows no signs of going away with two days to go until the window closes.

Luke Shaw was exposed at Hull and it took Ipswich less than half an hour to do the same. Shaw was left for dead by Abdul Fatawu who got away down the right and crossed to Davis who had been left unmarked by Bryan Mbeumo and met it with a first-time effort. Senne Lammens had already bailed out United with vital saves from Julio Enciso and Daizen Maeda, but he couldn't prevent the ball going in off the underside of the bar.

United were presented with a rather fortunate opportunity to level the scores in the 40th minute when Nunez slipped as he controlled a pass close to halfway, and Matheus Cunha guided an excellent early pass beyond Sasa Lukic and into the path of Fernandes. Did United's captain have the legs to get away from his opponent? Probably not so he took one touch and then lashed the ball past Kjell Scherpen.

After Mbeumo somehow hit the bar from point-blank range early in the second half, United transformed the game with two goals in the space of five minutes.

The first felt very harsh on Ipswich after Maguire challenged Chuba Akpom just outside the penalty area and clearly used his hands to control the ball. The United defender advanced into the box and fired a low shot which was going wide until it hit Jacob Greaves, which not only diverted the ball past Scherpen but also negated the handball because it was an own-goal.

Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil accepted the 'strange rule' with good grace, but summed up the sense of injustice around it. 'Sometimes you see a goal and think it shouldn't stand, and that felt like one of them,' said O'Neil, who also had the misfortune of losing record signing Emersonn to a knee injury at half-time.

It got worse for Greaves when

Then after Mainoo and Mbeumo both had efforts blocked, the ball ran kindly for the Portugal star to slot home for his hat-trick.

As the storm raged overhead, Fernandes sent Mbeumo through to lob Scherpen for the fifth, before Enciso picked Lisandro Martinez's pocket and squared for Akpom to score.

It mattered not, but was another reminder that United still have work to do despite the scoreline.

different moments. Times like today, when you're looking towards certain players to give us that little bit of something else, he did that particularly well. So, he offers us a lot.' Fernandes' first, which levelled things up at 1-1, came as part of a counter-attack with Matheus Cunha, who punished a costly slip from Marcelino Nunez. But Ipswich's luck took an even worse turn when, at 1-1, Harry Maguire fired into the corner. The defender burst forward and, despite the ball clearly hitting his hand, took it on another couple of yards before shooting low and hard. Crucially, the shot was going wide and went in off the heel of Jacob Greaves, and that was significant in the goal being allowed to stand under the laws of the game. VAR Jarred Gillett told referee Craig Pawson: 'It's an own goal and the accidental handball is not punishable, so we recommend you award the goal.'

Had Pawson or Gillett deemed it deliberate handball, the goal could have been chalked off. In this instance the key was that it was not Maguire's goal. 'It wasn't a handball on purpose for sure, but I don't think it touched my fingers,' Maguire said. 'I actually dragged the shot a bit wide so I think it'll go down as an own goal unfortunately, but that's the reason that it counted. 'If it was my goal, they disallow it, which are the rules nowadays, but thankfully it was on our side and we deserved the win and that bit of luck.' It was tough for Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil to take as his side

then unravelled, giving a penalty away which Fernandes converted, before two more United goals.

'It's a strange rule,' O'Neil said. 'Imagine if the shot was headed somewhere near the post. Who makes the call as to whether that is on target or not? I can accept it, of course, and the game transpires to be what it is after anyway.

'But the scorer makes a blatant handball. His shot ends up in the goal, so you would expect that to be enough for it to be disallowed.'

Pressed on whether the rule needs changing, O'Neil added: 'It was weird. I do think it's a really tough rule for officials and I don't think we need tough rules for officials, I think it's tough enough. If we can keep it as clear cut as possible for them it will be helpful.'

NATHAN SALT at Old Trafford

BRUNO FERNANDES was Manchester United's saviour once again as he hit a superb hat-trick to kickstart the Red Devils' season against Ipswich at Old Trafford.

United went in at half-time at 1-1 and had to do some soul-searching on the back of last week's disaster at Hull City, where they were bullied en route to a 2-0 defeat.

But Player of the Year Fernandes and his team-mates came out for the second half inspired and his hat-trick, to go with a Jacob Greaves own goal and a delightful chip from Bryan Mbeumo, secured a 5-2 win.

'Bruno means a lot,' United boss Michael Carrick said. 'He's the captain. He's been here for a good number of years now. He has experienced a whole load of different emotions and different things.

ROOT TELLS HIS FAB FOUR: WRITE YOUR OWN HISTORY

At it again: Fernandes celebrates after sealing a hat-trick that helped take down Ipswich SHUTTERSTOCK

By LAWRENCE BOOTH Cricket Correspondent at Lord's

JOE ROOT called on England's fast-bowling quartet to 'write their own chapter in history' after his side blew away Pakistan to clinch their first Test series victory in 20 months.

Ollie Robinson led the way with four for 24 as England won the second Test at Lord's by 194 runs for an unassailable 2-0 lead. And the result left Root purring over his quicks, with Robinson's accuracy complemented by the outright pace of Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue.

‘These guys have the opportunity to create their own legacy,’ he said. ‘They’re all of an age where they can play together for a long period and have skillsets that travel around the world in different conditions. There’s no reason why they can’t write their own chapter in history.’

Root also urged his team to celebrate in moderation after unwelcome drink-related headlines. 'Enjoy it, but in a sensible, grown-up way,' he said.

CROSS NUMBER

BRIDGE MASTERCLASS | CRYPTIC CROSSWORD

West ♠ Q J 10 8 ♥ J 2 ♦ K J 6 ♣ A Q 7 5

East ♠ AK97 ♥ 8643 ♦ A3 ♣ 832

PLAYING teams, North opens 1♦, which is passed round to you as West. What call do you make? IN the protective position, your calls can be approximately three points lighter than they would be if you were making a direct overcall. Bid 1NT. Your hand is balanced and has diamonds stopped, and you are unsuitable for a take-out double holding just a doubleton heart. As you are protecting, this shows 12-14 points.

East tries Stayman, and over your 2♠ response, makes an invitational raise to 3♠. Since you are maximum for your 1NT bid, you raise to 4♠ and this ends the auction. North leads the ♥K, which holds the trick, and continues with the ♥7 to South's ♥A. South now switches to the ♦10. Let's examine what you know about the location of the high cards.

Remember the bidding. North opened 1♦, and once you discover that South holds the ♥A, you know that all the remaining high cards must lie with North. This unfortunately means that both minor suit finesses are doomed to failure, which appears to give you two club losers to go with the hearts you have already lost. Is there anything you can do about this? The hand continues tomorrow.
