Racing power couple Hollie Doyle and Tom Marquand announce engagement in beach selfie

RACING power couple Tom Marquand and Hollie Doyle have announced their engagement.
Marquand, 22, posted a photo on social media of himself and a bikini-clad Doyle wearing what looked like an engagement ring on a beach with the caption: "So err… thanks 2020 I guess?!"
The happy couple were all smiles as fans wished them the best for married life.
2020 was a breakthrough year for Doyle and Marquand.
Hollie, 24, finished third in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, won her first Group 1 race, announced herself on the international stage and rode an 899-1 five-timer at Windsor.
Tom's year was not too shabby either as he landed his first Group 1 race too and played a huge part in the couple's unforgettable victories on British Champions Day at Ascot.
The couple are childhood sweethearts and have been together since they met as kids on the pony-riding circuit.
They compete against each other day in, day out - before going home to argue over who does the dishes.
Marquand and Doyle live together in Hungerford, Berkshire, from where they travel all over the world to compete in the world's biggest races.
The pair rarely get much time to themselves, even though they will often be at the same meet competing against each other.
Speaking of what it is like trying to beat each other in the heat of competition, Marquand once said: "You just go out and ride and try not to flatten each other, that's all, or you won't be getting dinner that night."
Of course, their crazy schedules mean they rarely get to enjoy much time together.
If they happen to be racing at the same course then time is spent with trainers, owners, doing media obligations or preparing in the weighing room.
Often, it is only on days off that they collapse onto the sofa for some quality time together.
Doyle told The Times: "We wouldn't really come home and see each other to talk to.
"On Sundays we try to do something but we're usually too knackered."
Still, that has not dampened their competitive spirit.
Speaking of her man, Doyle told SunSport: "He’s a jammy bugger, isn’t he! He’s the only person I know who can go away for a few months to Australia and then come back and completely take off from where he was, if not do even better.
"He’s getting these big opportunities now and that’s what he deserves. He’s well capable and lots of the big trainers know that now."

EXETER'S racing for today has been abandoned - as it joins Cheltenham on the cancelled list.
Both meets have been forced to give up their big New Year's Day meets.
Cheltenham, the home of jumps racing, announced two days ago that their showpiece event would not be taking place.
Exeter held a track inspection this morning but the freezing temperatures have forced it to be cancelled.
It was -2C at the Devon track at 6.40am and temperatures are not set to peak until mid-afternoon.
Even then it will only reach 2C.
However there was good news for Musselburgh as officials confirmed today's racing will go ahead.
Daniel Cooper, clerk of Exeter course, said: "
It's extremely frustrating but we've been left with no choice but to cancel.
"We were quite optimistic at 6am as all the areas under frost covers were one hundred per cent raceable, but the uncovered areas have not improved during the morning and temperatures have actually dropped in the back straight.
"The BHA course inspector said we needed to see improvement within 45 minutes after our 9.30am check, but there was no improvements in half an hour so we made an early call."
Temperatures at Musselburgh in Scotland did not go below 4C and just 1mm of rain fell overnight.
ITV will show three contests from the six-race card, while Tramore in Ireland will feature the Savills New Year's Day Chase.
Double Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo makes his big return to the track.
Southwell will also host flat racing on its fibresand surface.

Wenn Sie als Reporter für eine Weile durch den alpinen Ski-Weltcup ziehen, kehren Sie meist in vertrauten Unterkünften ein. Manchmal stoßen Sie im Laufe der Jahre dabei auf richtige kleine Schätze. Das Weltcup-Wochenende in Kitzbühel ist für ein paar meiner Kollegen und mich in dieser Hinsicht vielleicht der schönste Halt von allen auf der Tournee.
Wir wohnen dann meist auf einem Bauernhof, nur ein paar Fahrminuten vom Zielraum der Hahnenkammrennen entfernt. Die Besitzer haben unter dem Dach zwei Apartments eingerichtet, beide sind wunderschön ausgestattet und verfügen beizeiten über einen recht wackeligen Internetempfang, der Zeit für so Dinge schafft wie Kochen, Lesen oder Spieleabende. Wenn Sie vor die Tür gehen, sehen Sie in der Ferne, wie sich die Streif-Abfahrt ins Tal schlängelt, unmittelbar davor sehen Sie aber auch: Leere in ihrer schönsten Form. Mit Schneefeldern und einem Wald, hinter dem sich ein See versteckt, wie ich in diesem Jahr gelernt habe, mit Langlaufloipen und Winterwanderwegen. Ich habe es schon immer gemocht, nahe dran zu sein, aber nicht mittendrin. Gerade wenn sich im benachbarten Kitzbühel an einem gewöhnlichen Weltcup-Wochenende Zehntausende Zuschauer durch ein Dorf mit 8300 Einwohnern zwängen.
Die diesjährige, in vielerlei Hinsicht sehr ungewöhnliche Hahnenkammwoche fühlte sich für uns von daher gar nicht so anders an. Als wir in den vergangenen Tagen vor die Tür gingen, sahen wir in der Ferne die Streif, und wenn wir morgens rechtzeitig aufstanden und über die Winterwiese und durch den Wald wanderten, erreichten wir den zugefrorenen See genau dann, als sich die Sonne gerade neben dem Kitzhorn hervorschob.
Aber irgendwas war dann doch ziemlich anders.
Die Stille schätzt man ja oft erst dann so richtig, wenn man aus dem Lärm kommt, so wie der Skirennfahrer die Enttäuschung braucht, um das süße Gefühl seiner Siege auszukosten. Und was Lärm und Spektakel anging, hatte Kitzbühel in diesem Jahr nicht gerade allzu viel zu bieten. Oder wie der Wiener Kurier schon zu Beginn dieser Hahnenkammwoche getitelt hatte (und damit sämtliche Wortspiel-Wettbewerbe vorzeitig für sich entschied): "Habe die Leere!"
Das alles war natürlich dem strengen Corona-Protokoll geschuldet, und man muss den Kitzbüheler Ausrichtern und allen Verantwortlichen attestieren, dass sie das in den vergangenen Tagen wirklich hochseriös abgewickelt haben: Eine Streif-Woche, die ein bisschen Normalität schuf, aber kein Spektakel, zumindest was das Drumherum betraf. Das kam, ganz pandemiegerecht, ohne Zuschauer aus, ohne Bässe, die am Freitag- und Samstagabend aus den Après-Ski-Tempeln wummern, ohne Betrunkene, die vom Weg der Piste Richtung Innenstadt am Wegesrand einschlafen, ohne Weißwurstpartys und Promis, für die zur Unterhaltung ein bisschen Skifahren geboten wird.
Man mag dazu stehen, wie man will. Es fühlte sich jedenfalls fast schon ein bisschen ungehörig an, in den vergangenen Tagen durch den für den Verkehr zugänglichen Ortskern zu schlendern, in der sich deutsche Sportwagen mit Schweizer Kennzeichen routiniert an den pastellfarbenen Häusern vorbeischoben. Mein Streif-Fazit in diesem Jahr fällt jedenfalls so aus: Schon nett, aber manchmal müssen 50 000 Menschen einen Ort auch mal in den Ausnahmezustand zwängen dürfen. Schon allein, weil wir dann auf unserem Bauernhof in Ruhe darüber lästern können, dass dieser Wahnsinn jetzt auch mal bald wieder vorbei sein darf.

Warum melden wir auf NDR 1 Radio MV im Service Blitzerstandorte?
Wir legen in unserem Programm großen Wert auf Service und möchten daher alle Hörerinnen und Hörer unterstützen, die täglich mit dem Auto unterwegs sind. Die Entscheidung, regelmäßig Blitzermeldungen zu verkünden, haben wir uns nicht leicht gemacht. Es gibt bei diesem Thema Argumente dafür wie dagegen und wir respektieren jede differenzierte Haltung in dieser Frage. Aber es gibt keinen Anhaltspunkt dafür, dass Menschen schneller Auto fahren, wenn sie im Radio Blitzermeldungen hören - im Gegenteil: Allein schon die Hinweise erinnern viele Autofahrer daran, dass sie ständig mit Geschwindigkeitskontrollen rechnen müssen. Selbst einige Polizeidienststellen melden uns Blitzerstandorte und haben gute Erfahrungen damit, weil sie beobachtet haben, dass die Autofahrer danach auf dem gesamten Streckenabschnitt langsamer fahren. Ohne Frage ist es eine Tatsache, dass einige Verkehrsteilnehmer eine erschreckende Einstellung zu Fragen der Verkehrsmoral haben. Daran kann leider weder die Nennung noch die Nicht-Nennung von Blitzern etwas ändern. Grundsätzlich veröffentlichen wir aber keine Blitzer vor Schulen, Kitas, Altenheimen und ähnlichen Einrichtungen.
Warum läuft auf NDR 1 Radio MV keine deutsche Schlagermusik und wie wird die Musik zusammengestellt?
NDR 1 Radio MV ist ein Sender, der ein generationenübergreifendes Publikum bedient. Unsere Kernzielgruppe ist ab 40 Jahre. Genau für diese Zielgruppe stellen wir unsere Musik zusammen. Genau für sie erfragen wir regelmäßig als Landesprogramm für MV die Musikvorlieben der 40- bis weit über 60-Jährigen und testen einzelne Musiktitel. Mit Hilfe dieser repräsentativen Studien werden Titel/Interpreten und Musikstile bestimmt, die den meisten Hörerinnen und Hörern unseres Programms gefallen. Das sind vor allem Oldies aus den 60er, 70er und 80er Jahren, aktuelle internationale Hits und deutschsprachige Titel, auch von ostdeutschen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern.NDR 1 Radio MV ist (im Gegensatz zum Schlagerprogramm NDR Plus zum Beispiel) kein Musiksender, sondern ein Informationsprogramm für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Deshalb kann die Musikmischung, wie wir sie spielen, immer nur ein Kompromiss sein aus den Musikvorlieben der Hörerinnen und Hörer unseres Programms und es ist uns leider nicht möglich, dabei für jeden Musikgeschmack ein eigenes Programm anzubieten. Uns ist bekannt, dass ein Teil der Menschen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auch deutschen Schlager hören mag. Allerdings ist der deutsche Schlager auch eine Musikrichtung, die bei der Zielgruppe ab 40 bis weit in die über 60-Jährigen hinein sehr stark polarisiert, gerade wenn sie regelmäßig tagsüber gespielt wird und nicht einmalig auf der privaten Sylvesterfete. Auch andere stark polarisierende musikalische Richtungen wie schnellen Heavy Metal oder Rap oder spezielle elektronische Musik oder auch klassische Musik werden Sie bei uns nicht hören. Deutsche Musik hat für uns aber ohne Frage einen sehr hohen Stellenwert. Wir spielen Klassiker von Herbert Grönemeyer, Udo Lindenberg, Nena, Karat, Keimzeit, den Puhdys, Prinzen, Heinz-Rudolf Kunze und und und. Genauso spielen wir aber auch die Neuentdeckungen und jungen Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der deutschen Musikszene wie Philipp Dittberner, Lotte, Max Giesinger, Silbermond, Christina Stürmer, Mark Forster, Juli, Namika, Annett Louisan, Glasperlenspiel, Andreas Bourani und viele mehr. Montags ab 21.00 Uhr heißt es auf NDR 1 Radio MV sogar ausschließlich "Das Beste auf Deutsch".Zudem begleiten wir die Sendungen, in denen wir die plattdeutsche Sprache pflegen, natürlich auch mit niederdeutscher Musik. Das leistet kein anderes Radioprogramm in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Warum kosten Anrufe für die Teilnahme an Gewinnspielen etwas?
Grundsätzlich ist unser Servicetelefon für Sie kostenfrei erreichbar unter (0800) 59 59 100. Bei Gewinnspielen wie zum Beispiel unserem beliebten Quiz "6 in 49" müssen wir da eine Ausnahme machen. Die 14 Cent pro Anruf aus dem Festnetz pro Anruf bei der Nummer (01375) 80 80 80 decken dabei ausschließlich die Kosten der Kommunikationstechnik ab. Gewinne erzielen wir damit nicht und dürfen es auch rein rechtlich nicht. Die Finanzierung der Gewinne bei Programmaktionen wird in der Regel durch Partner sichergestellt, die in dem Umfeld auch benannt werden. Wenn wir die Teilnahmekosten für Gewinnspielteilnehmerinnen und -teilnehmer tragen würden, könnten andere Beitragszahler, die nicht an unseren Gewinnspielen teilnehmen, zu Recht nicht einverstanden sein, dass sie Kosten für die Spieler mit tragen müssen.
Warum gibt es im Nordmagazin "Dorfgeschichten", aber keine "Stadtgeschichten"?
Ziel der Dorfgeschichte ist es, auch Gemeinden und Dörfer aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern im Nordmagazin bekannt zu machen, die ansonsten nicht zwingend den Weg ins Programm finden würden. Die Städte im Land sind bei Themen aus Politik, Soziales, Wirtschaft oder auch Kultur zwangsläufig öfter Gegenstand unserer Berichterstattung. Wo die nächste Dorfgeschichte gedreht wird, erfährt die Reporterin oder der Reporter, genau wie alle Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer, erst am Freitagabend durch die Auslosung im NDR Nordmagazin. Oft wird unser Kamerateam dann am Sonnabend bereits erwartet von Einwohnerinnen und Einwohnern, Gemeindevertreterinnen und -vertretern oder auch ansässigen Ortschronisten, die uns dann direkt zu interessanten Orten und Geschichten im Dorf begleiten. Das bedeutet, vieles bei der Dorfgeschichte ergibt sich durch den "tagesaktuellen Zufall" und gewollt nicht durch eine lange Recherche im Vorfeld.
Einmal aber wurde doch einer Stadt die Ehre einer Dorfgeschichte zuteil: Der Zettel Krakow am See war versehentlich im Lostopf gelandet.
Warum wird das Wetter im NDR Nordmagazin ab Januar 2021 mit einem Werbespot gesponsort?
Der NDR ist grundsätzlich gehalten, sparsam mit seinen Rundfunkbeiträgen umzugehen, also die Kosten niedrig zu halten. Der NDR ist auf der anderen Seite aufgefordert worden, Möglichkeiten zu nutzen, um Einnahmen zu erzielen. Dies tun auch andere ARD Anstalten wie zum Beispiel der MDR in seinen Landesprogrammen. Sponsoring ist eine Möglichkeit, um über das Programm Einnahmen zu erzielen. Der Staatsvertrag sieht dies ausdrücklich vor und der NDR ist von den entsprechenden Institutionen wie der KEF dazu aufgefordert worden, dieses auch zu unternehmen. Es findet allerdings keine konkrete Produktwerbung statt. Der Sponsoring-Partner wird in einem maximal sieben Sekunden langen Spot genannt. Ziel ist es, die Rundfunkbeiträge so stabil wie möglich zu halten, sowohl durch Sparsamkeit als auch durch Einnahmen. Damit tragen wir auch weiterhin zur Entlastung der Beitragszahler bei. Der Partner hat selbstverständlich keinen Einfluss auf das Programm. Die Programme des NDR sind – bis auf Ausnahme von NDR 2 weiterhin werbefrei. Zusätzlich wird zur Zeit die NDR 2 Bundesligashow gesponsort. Informationssendungen sowie Sendungen für Kinder sind grundsätzlich von Sponsoringsmöglichkeiten ausgeschlossen. Bei Sport, Wetter oder Unterhaltungssendungen wird jeder Einzelfall geprüft.
Wichtig für alle Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer: Die Wettervorhersage aus dem NDR Wetterstudio Hiddensee bleibt verlässlich wie bisher direkt nach dem“ Nordmagazin“ - moderiert von Stefan Kreibohm oder Uwe Ulbrich.
Wieviel Mecklenburg und wieviel Vorpommern zeigt das Nordmagazin?
In allen Fernsehsendungen, die im NDR Landesfunkhaus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern produziert werden, geht es um Themen und Menschen aus verschiedenen Teilen und Regionen aus MV – mal aus Westmecklenburg, mal von der Ostseeküste, mal von der Seenplatte oder aus den östlichen Landesteilen. Zwar wird nicht mit einer Strichliste nach Region gezählt, aber die Redaktionen achten natürlich darauf, dass insgesamt ausgewogen aus allen Landesteilen, aus Städten und ländlichen Gebieten, berichtet wird. Das funktioniert vor allem deswegen so gut, weil der NDR mit seinen vier Regionalstudios überall im Land vertreten ist. Das Mecklenburg-Studio Schwerin ist in das Funkhaus integriert und kümmert sich um den Westen und Südwesten des Landes, das Ostseestudio Rostock berichtet aus der Hansestadt, dem Landkreis Rostock und auch Teilen des Landkreises Vorpommern-Rügen wie zum Beispiel Ribnitz-Damgarten. Das Vorpommernstudio in Greifswald liefert etliche Themen aus dem Nordosten, zum Beispiel aus Stralsund, Grimmen oder auch von Rügen und Usedom. Das Haff-Müritz-Studio in Neubrandenburg aus Demmin, Waren oder auch von der Mecklenburgischen Seenplatte.
Wieviel Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ist im NDR Fernsehen?
Vorweg: Ganz viele Produktionen aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern stecken im NDR Fernsehen. Das Programm setzt sich überwiegend zusammen aus Sendungen, die zentral in Hamburg produziert werden, wie zum Beispiel "Visite" oder "Markt" und den Regionalprogrammen beziehungsweise denjenigen Sendungen, die in den vier NDR Staatsvertragsländern von den jeweiligen Landesfunkhäusern verantwortet werden – also zum Beispiel dem Landesfunkhaus Niedersachsen in Hannover oder uns, dem Landesfunkhaus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Schwerin. Die Funkhäuser produzieren Beiträge und auch ausführliche Reportagen und Dokumentationen aus ihrem Bundesland.
Jeden Werktag gibt es im NDR Fernsehen von 18.00 bis 18.15 Uhr aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern das "Nordmagazin Land und Leute" - unterwegs im ganzen Land jeweils zu einem Schwerpunktthema aus Gesellschaft, Politik, Wirtschaft, Sport oder auch Kultur. Im NDR Nordmagazin von 19.30 bis 20 Uhr bekommen alle Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer ihre abendliche "Fernsehillustrierte" mit allem Wichtigen des Tages aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und unterhaltenden Themen.
Zusätzlich produzieren wir im Landesfunkhaus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern jedes Jahr rund 90 Reportagen und Dokumentationen über 30 Minuten und mehr Länge für das NDR Fernsehen, zum Beispiel alle Sendungen des "Hanseblicks" regelmäßig für das Sonntagsprogramm oder hochwertige Reportagefilme für die "Nordstory" am Freitagabend. Von 18.15 bis 18.45 Uhr laufen im NDR Fernsehen täglich abwechselnd Produktionen aus allen vier NDR Ländern - unter den Überschriften "die nordreportage", "NaturNah", "Typisch" und "Wie geht das?". Am Freitag um 18.15 Uhr läuft das Magazin "Lust auf Norden" mit Beiträgen aus allen vier NDR Ländern bunt gemischt.
Außerdem gibt es Gemeinschaftssendungen der Funkhäuser, in denen Beiträge oder Inhalte aus allen vier NDR Ländern gesendet werden wie zum Beispiel "Nordtour" oder auch "NDR Aktuell" um 21.45 Uhr.
Warum sind NDR 1 Radio MV und das Nordmagazin bei Facebook und auf anderen Internet-Plattformen aktiv?
Mit der Facebook-Präsenz wollen NDR 1 Radio MV und das Nordmagazin den zahlreichen Fans, die dort vertreten sind, ein zusätzliches Angebot machen. Es gibt ganz verschiedene Wege, mit NDR 1 Radio MV und dem Nordmagazin in Kontakt zu treten: Per Telefon, E-Mail, Fax, Post, die NDR MV App - und eben auch über soziale Netzwerke wie WhatsApp und Facebook. Dort gibt es dann aktuelle Informationen über Programmaktionen und über weitere wichtige oder unterhaltsame Ereignisse. Darüber hinaus können Nutzerinnen und Nutzer Fragen stellen und ihre Meinung posten. Wer die NDR MV Seite bei Facebook nur lesen möchte, braucht sich bei dem Netzwerk nicht anzumelden, nur kommentieren kann man dann nicht. Selbstverständlich verfolgen wir die Entwicklung rund um Facebook kritisch und ziehen daraus im Umgang mit dem sozialen Netzwerk gegebenenfalls auch Schlüsse.
Warum sind Artikel auf NDR.de/mv manchmal schon nach einem Tag nicht mehr auf der Seite oder in der NDR MV App?
Auf unserer Nachrichtenseite im Internet und in der NDR MV App bieten wir eine Auswahl aller wichtigen aktuellen Themen aus dem Land, aber erheben keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Es kommen ständig neue Artikel hinzu, andere werden von der Seite jeweils herunter genommen. Aber nur weil Artikel auf NDR.de/mv nicht mehr zu sehen sind, heißt das nicht, dass sie offline genommen wurden: Meistens sind sie nach wie vor bei NDR.de online und über die Suche mit Stichwörtern zu finden. Zugegeben, unsere Suchfunktion könnte noch ein wenig besser sein, daran arbeiten wir. Ein Tipp: Mit Hilfe von Internetsuchmaschinen finden Sie die meisten unserer Artikel am einfachsten mit Ihrem Suchbegriff und dem Zusatz in der Suche "und ndr.de" - also "Suchbegriff und ndr.de".
Noch eine Info: Unsere Artikel und Videos haben jeweils eine nach den Richtlinien des Telemediengesetzes festgelegte sogenannte Verweildauer, nach der sie tatsächlich offline sein müssen. Ausnahme: Nachrichten aus dem Land, die nur im Kurzmeldungsblock erwähnt werden, sind, nachdem sie mit einer neuen Meldung überschrieben wurden, nicht mehr einzeln aufrufbar.
Warum sind Artikel auf NDR.de/mv nicht kommentierbar?
Der Anstieg bei der Zahl der Kommentare und die wachsende Zahl von Kommentaren, die gegen die Richtlinien verstoßen auf NDR.de, hat den Moderationsaufwand enorm gesteigert. Die vorhandenen Moderationskapazitäten reichten dafür inzwischen nicht mehr aus. In Zahlen: Die Anzahl der Kommentare ist seit 2016 um mehr als 260 Prozent gestiegen. Parallel ist auch der Moderationsaufwand pro Kommentar gestiegen – 2016 verstießen 20 Prozent der Einsendungen gegen die Kommentarrichtlinien, im Jahr 2020 waren es zwischen 30 und 40 Prozent. Der dafür nötige Ausbau der Kommentarmoderation hätte im Kontext der Sparmaßnahmen von 300 Millionen Euro bedeutet, an anderer Stelle im Programm zu kürzen. Der NDR hat sich dafür entschieden, die Kommentarmoderation nicht auszubauen, sondern dort die Mittel zu streichen und damit auf Kürzungen im Programm in dieser Höhe zu verzichten. Insofern ist die Einstellung der zentralen Kommentarmoderation auf NDR.de einer von vielen Einschnitten, weil die für den NDR zu erwartenden Einnahmen aus dem Rundfunkbeitrag die allgemeinen Kostensteigerungen nicht auffangen können.
Ihre Fragen zum Rundfunkbeitrag
Immer wieder erreichen uns auch Fragen zum Rundfunkbeitrag, meist sind sie sehr individuell und da wir als NDR weder den Beitrag noch die Regelungen dazu festlegen, sondern die Politik das entscheidet, verweisen wir auf bereits gesammelte Informationen zum Beitrag wie zum Beispiel auf die offizielle Seite Der Rundfunkbeitrag und auf diese Daten und Fakten. Interessante Informationen zeigt auch die Auflistung "Wofür wird mein Rundfunkbeitrag von 17,50 Euro pro Monat verwendet?".
Fakt ist, für weniger als 60 Cent am Tag produziert der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk bzw. die Senderfamilie von ARD, ZDF und Deutschlandradio insgesamt 64 Radiowellen (zum Vergleich: es gibt rund 240 kommerzielle Radiowellen) und mehrere Fernsehprogramme für unterschiedliche Zielgruppen wie Das Erste oder auch die Regionalprogramme der Landesrundfunkanstalten wie beispielsweise das NDR Fernsehen und das Programm funk als sogenanntes Content-Netzwerk für die junge Zielgruppe. Der Rundfunkbeitrag folgt dem solidarischen Prinzip und ist seit 2009 nicht mehr gestiegen, 2015 sank er sogar um 45 Cent und seine Höhe ist bis 2020 stabil festgeschrieben.
Warum fördert der NDR Musik- und Kulturveranstaltungen und Filmprojekte in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern finanziell?
Jedes Jahr werden im Rahmen der Musik- und Filmförderung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Fördermittel vergeben, die entsprechend des Landesrundfunkgesetzes aus dem Rundfunkbeitrag finanziert werden, an besondere Musik- und Konzertprojekte in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Produktionen von Filmschaffenden des Landes. Wir sind bzw. der NDR ist zur Vergabe dieser Mittel, die aus dem Rundfunkbeitrag stammen, gesetzlich verpflichtet. Die Förderung erfolgt vor dem Hintergrund des Kulturauftrages des NDR. Sie dient der Erhaltung der kulturellen Identität Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns. Auch die jährliche Berechnung der Höhe dieser Mittel ist genau festgelegt, über die Projekte, die Förderanträge gestellt haben, entscheidet ein gesetzlich festgelegter Beirat. Die Details zur Musik- und Filmförderung finden Sie auf der NDR Homepage.
Sollte die Antwort auf Ihre Frage zu NDR 1 Radio MV, Nordmagazin, unseren Fernsehproduktionen aus MV oder zu ndr.de/mv nicht dabei sein, schicken Sie uns gern einfach eine Nachricht, eine E-Mail oder rufen Sie uns kostenlos an unter (0800) 59 59 100. Die Redaktionen werden selbstverständlich auch diese Frage so zügig wie möglich beantworten.

Matt Chapman tips: This Sandown NAP can strike in Grade 1 feature and my other best bets for ITV racing

THE WEATHER might be trying its best to disrupt things.
But Sandown's Saturday card is worth getting jiggy about and I fancy one in the feature Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle.
It's always a competitive race and can be a gruelling test for these novice hurdlers.
But I think trainer Harry Fry has a serious animal in METIER (2.25, NAP).
He's yet to put a foot wrong over timber and was way above average on the flat.
Metier is unbeaten over jumps and should continue the good work at Sandown.

Elizabeth Olsen discusses growing up as Mary-Kate and Ashley's sister

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9146737/Elizabeth-Olsen-discusses-unique-experience-growing-Mary-Kate-Ashleys-sister.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

Elizabeth Olsen discussed her 'unique' experience growing up as Mary-Kate and Ashley's sister on Thursday's episode of Lorraine.
The WandaVision star, 31, joked that it wasn't an 'average' childhood due to her twin siblings, 34, global fame.
Mary-Kate and Ashley started their career aged nine-months-old when they were cast as Michelle Tanner in Full House, a role they pursued until 1995.
The twin siblings went on to release their own films, books, merchandise and clothing range.
In 2007, Forbes ranked Mary-Kate and Ashley jointly as the 11th-richest women in entertainment, with an estimated combined net worth of $100 million.
Talking about growing up as Mary-Kate and Ashley's younger sister, Elizabeth told host Lorraine Kelly: 'It's not anyone's average childhood, but everyone's childhood is not average. I guess it was unique to me and my sisters' experience.'
Away from her siblings' fame, Elizabeth has cemented her own successful acting career as she is currently promoting her new Disney+ series WandaVision.
Talking about the new show, the star said: 'It's definitely different than what people are used to seeing on the Avengers.
'We have these characters, they are these super heroes that are just trying to fit in the suburbs, but things aren't what they seem and it will be revealed in every episode.'
Elizabeth, who plays Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch), stars in the series alongside Paul Bettany, who plays Vision.
Their characters enjoyed a brief and epic romance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they have reprised their roles in the new Disney+ series.
Talking about working with Paul, 49, Elizabeth said: 'I've had so much fun with working him. He became one of these great comedy characters, he fit into that role very easily.'
The actress also teased new details about filming the Doctor Strange franchise, she said: 'We're hoping to start next week. I really do trust that our crew are taking good care of themselves and their family.'
Elizabeth also sweetly said that she loves living in London and that it is her 'home from home'.
She said: 'We love it here, we're so happy here, we love walking in the rain and bundling up. It's so nice to quarantine everywhere else, even if it's inside our home.
'Every opportunity I have to come here, I seize it. Even if I'm in Europe, I figure out how to swing to London. It's my home from home.'
WandaVision will take place following the events of 2019's Avengers: Endgame, but so far far it's not clear how Vision, who was killed in Infinity War, was revived.
It's also been revealed that the show will feature characters from Captain Marvel, Thor and Ant-Man, and it will tie into the upcoming 2022 movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The series, which has been long awaited by Marvel fans, was also one of the many productions shut down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic last year.
The first look at the upcoming series took place during the Super Bowl in February 2020 with WandaVision set to premiere on January 15 on Disney+.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth's sister Mary-Kate and her estranged husband Olivier Sarkozy have agreed to a divorce deal, their lawyers told a court on Wednesday.
Michael Mosberg, an attorney for Sarkozy, told the New York Supreme Court that 'The deal is now done'. He said that the final details were agreed upon Wednesday morning before a hearing with Judge Lori Sattler.
Nancy Chemtob, who represents Olsen, said that 'all issues are resolved' but no details were given to the court.
Sarkozy and Olsen got together in 2012 and married in 2015 with a 20-year age gap, and split up earlier in 2020
Olsen reportedly has an 'ironclad prenup' meaning her fortune - estimated to be around $250m - is safe whatever happens during the divorce
The couple will have to sell their $13.5m New York townhouse, which has writing in French and Spanish on the ceiling.
Lorraine continues on weekdays at 9am on ITV.

Paul Nicholls brings up 100 winners for season as Shearer strikes late at Warwick in bumper for Rovers fan

TRAINER Paul Nicholls raced to 100 winners for the season before the end of 2020 after Shearer netted at Warwick.
Named after the England legend Alan Shearer, Nicholls' youngster knuckled down to win well in the closing bumper.
Sent off the warm 8-13 favourite, Shearer was always doing enough to beat Harry Redknapp's Bowtogreatness in the straight.
Shearer carried the blue and white hoop colours of owner Max O'Neill, a big Blackburn Rovers fan who also has a horse called Ewood Park.
And for the Ditcheat handler it was another boost to the team who have started the season on fire.
Big wins in the Tingle Creek, Challow and King George have ensured the team brought up the three figures before the New Year.
Nicholls said: "That was just the job. It's a nice milestone to reach before January 1.
"It's credit to all the staff who have worked so hard. It reflects well on them and gives them pride in what they are doing, and is good for morale.
"It is only the second time we have reached 100 winners before the new year - and this is more of an achievement, given the circumstances."
The Ditcheat handler will continue taking small steps with Shearer for the remainder of the campaign, before sending him over hurdles next season.
He added : "He is one that needs time and patience, and we wouldn't be going to one of those speedier tracks in the spring.
"He is a real stayer and he will make a lovely novice hurdler. I wouldn't be surprised if he is one for the Challow Hurdle next season. "
Winning rider Adrian Heskin was recording his first success since returning from a recent spell on the sidelines with a broken arm.
Heskin said: "I'm delighted to get my first winner back on a nice young horse like him. He has a nice future ahead of him.
"We know he has plenty of stamina, and Paul was confident he was fit, so we just wanted to get him rolling good and early."

Meet stunning jockey Laura Cheshire who was a ‘tomboy’ growing up and had screws drilled into head after hor

MEET stunning jockey Laura Cheshire - who says she was a 'tomboy through and through' growing up.
Cheshire, 36, has been one of Australia's top riders for years and has 169 career wins to her name.
That amounts to just under £1.6million won for the owners of the horses she has ridden.
Cheshire wanted to ride from an early age - even if being in the spotlight has led to her receiving vile abuse.
She revealed at the end of 2019 that one of her former racehorses had tragically been tortured and killed.
Secret hidden camera footage showed abbatoir workers' abhorrent treatment of champion horse War Ends.
Cheshire believed the horse was living happily in a 'forever home' after saying goodbye following years of looking after him.
She had no idea of the true extent of what was going on.
But the footage of its disgusting treatment rocked the racing community - and led to a barrage of abuse aimed at Cheshire.
One message read: "I truly hope you break your f***ing neck."
Cheshire responded to that comment by pointing out she actually already had broken her neck in a riding accident.
Speaking of the torment, Chesire wrote on her Facebook page: "I'm still overwhelmed that I saw what I did, and that I am now copping hate messages from people who've never even picked up a horse's foot let alone sat in a paddock in the midde of winter with one that was on death's door and helped it pull through.
"When did humans become such a horrible species?
"When did vegan militants decide they were so far above others that messages of abuse were acceptable?
"This blows my mind."
The jockey now spends much of her time ensuring horses have a safe place to live after they retire from the track.
And it comes naturally given racing was in her blood from a young age.
Cheshire, who was born in Sydney, told femalejockeys.com she was a 'tomboy through and through' growing up but has loved horses for as long as she can remember.
Asked what led to her becoming a jockey, she said: "It was basically the first job I thought of that was working with horses apart from being a vet, which I didn't want to do.
"I was small enough and determined enough to give it a try."
She admitted she faced some battles as a female jockey in a sport still dominated by men.
Cheshire said: "It was hard in the way of trying to get people to see you are just as well suited to the sport as any male.
"The actual riding part came naturally as I've always been around horses."
As any jockey knows, injuries come just as naturally as riding.
And Laura suffered a horror one on Christmas Eve 2010 when her horse broke a leg during a race.
She said: "I hit the deck pretty hard. I got put into a halo brace, which is probably the worst thing I’ve had to deal with pain-wise.
"They drill it into your skull with no pain relief.
"They don’t give you anything because they need to know exactly what you are feeling while they are doing it."
Fortunately she made a full recovery and now combines riding with her work rehousing horses.

South Africa has built a strong first-innings lead over Sri Lanka despite losing five wickets to Vishwa Fernando on day two of the second Test.
Fernando was key in reining in South Africa, taking 5-101 as the Proteas went from 218-1 halfway through the first session to 302 all out in their first innings soon before tea.
That was still good enough to give South Africa a first-innings lead of 145 after Sri Lanka crashed to 157 all out on the first day.
Sri Lanka had lost Kusal Perera for 1 and was 16-1 in its second innings, and still 129 runs behind at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
Perera's wicket was vital as he's been the one player to put pressure on the South African attack this series. He was bowled by Lungi Ngidi to spark joyous celebrations by the South African fielders.
Perera's exit meant 21 wickets had fallen inside the first two days on a Wanderers pitch playing typically tough for the batsmen.
Earlier, opener Dean Elgar made 127 and Rassie van der Dussen 67 and their partnership of 184 for South Africa looked set to push the final test, and the two-test series, well out of Sri Lanka's reach. South Africa leads the series 1-0.
But Sri Lanka, with a patched-up bowling attack after a horrendous run of injuries on this tour, pulled it back.
Fernando led that effort, although Dushmantha Chameera made the biggest breakthrough when he forced Elgar out caught in the slips straight after the first session drinks break.
Elgar's departure began a run of four wickets for 23 runs. The trend continued in the second session as Fernando completed his five-wicket haul.
South Africa ultimately lost nine wickets for 84 runs as no one built on the foundation set by Elgar and van der Dussen.
Fernando's heroics aside, Sri Lanka still has an uphill task to set a competitive total and give itself a chance of saving the series.

Rüzgardan dolayı çöp konteynerleri ve seyyar esnafların simit satış arabaları da yollara devrildi. Kent merkezinde gece geç saatlerde hızı zaman zaman yaklaşık 30 kilometreye kadar çıkan şiddetli rüzgar hayatı olumsuz etkiledi. Rüzgar sebebiyle Atatürk caddesinde orta refüjdeki beton bir elektrik direği ağacın üzerine devrilirken, olay esnasında sokağa çıkma kısıtlamasından dolayı yolun boş olması her hangi bir kazanın yaşanmasının önüne geçti. Kenttin en işler caddelerinin başında gelen Milli Birlik caddesinde ise seyyar esnafların simitçi ve el arabaları devrildi. Anıtpark önünde bulunan belediyeye ait otobüs kart dolum noktası olarak kullanılan kabinde rüzgardan nasibini alarak devrildi. Rüzgar nedeniyle bir çok bölgede yollara devrilen çöp konteynerleri ise trafikte tehlike oluşturdu. Belediye ekipleri ise kent merkezinde temizlik çalışması başlatarak devrilen malzemelerin yollardan kaldırılması için yoğun uğraş verdi.

Ein Werksklub kommt selten allein, und deshalb muss sich die Liga vorsehen: Nicht nur Bayer Leverkusen meldet in dieser Saison Ansprüche auf die Champions-League-Plätze an - auch der VfL Wolfsburg schielt unverhohlen nach oben. Warum der Meister von 2009 sich das erlauben kann, wurde deutlich im direkten Duell, das Wolfsburg nach einer imposanten Leistung in der Fremde mit 1:0 (1:0) gewann. "Ich bin riesig stolz auf meine Mannschaft", sagte VfL-Trainer Oliver Glasner nach dem ersten Saisonsieg gegen einen Konkurrenten aus dem oberen Drittel. "Wir waren mehrmals knapp dran, und wir haben in München und gegen Leipzig sogar besser gespielt als heute." Aber einen Dreier landeten sie in Leverkusen.
Die Niedersachsen bewiesen dabei unter anderem ihre erstaunliche Lernfähigkeit. In den ersten Minuten wurden die Gäste quasi überrannt, denn Leverkusen begann das Spiel wie ein Überfallkommando: Mit Esprit und Tempo und Präzision erspielten sich die Gastgeber in den ersten sechs Minuten drei Großchancen; aber Amiri, Diaby und Alario, der per Kopf den Pfosten traf, versäumten es, aus der starken Phase etwas Zählbares mitzunehmen, in der besonders Diaby auf dem rechten Flügel 21 Minuten lang alles machte, was er wollte - bis auf ein Tor.
Der VfL beweist, warum er nur zwei von 18 Partien verloren hat
Peu à peu fing Wolfsburg an, sich zu sortieren. Glasner befehligte - als wäre dies eine Basketballpartie aus der NBA - einen zweiten Spieler in die Nähe von Diaby, um den Franzosen durch eine Doppeldeckung an die Leine zu legen. Das gelang überraschend schnell überraschend gut. Bald waren die Verhältnisse ausgeglichen. Aber nicht lange, denn kurz danach brachten die Gäste nach mehreren guten Ansätzen einen Angriff sehenswert zu Ende: Renato Steffens Flanke fand den sträflich freistehenden Ridle Baku am Fünfmeterraum, was der 22-Jährige mit einem wuchtigen Abschluss nutzte. "Mein erstes Kopfballtor", verriet er stolz.
In der zweiten Halbzeit zeigte Wolfsburg, warum die Mannschaft in dieser Saison so schwer zu knacken ist und erst zwei Spiele unglücklich verloren hat (1:2 in München, 0:2 in Dortmund): Die Gäste, die als Kollektiv überzeugten, verstanden es vortrefflich, die Räume nun komplett zu schließen, in der Defensive innerhalb von Nanosekunden Überzahlsituationen herzustellen und die entscheidenden Gegner zu doppeln. Auf diese Weise raubten sie Diaby, Bailey und dem 17-jährigen Ausnahmetalent Florian Wirtz zunächst die Kraft und dann die Lust. "Normalerweise bringt man dann Frische", sagte Bayer-Trainer Peter Bosz: "Aber das war" - angesichts der Personalnöte bei Bayer - "ein bisschen schwierig."
Bei den müden Leverkusenern verletzen sich zwei weitere Spieler
Die Wolfsburger überließen nur zu gerne dem Leverkusener Linksverteidiger Daley Sinkgraven den Spielaufbau, weil sie sicher sein konnten, dass dabei wenig herausspringen würde. "Uns hat heute die Inspiration gefehlt", gestand Leverkusens Torwart Lukas Hradecky, der sich das müde Treiben von hinten ansehen musste. "Viel Ballbesitz hatten wir nicht", sagte Wolfsburgs Xaver Schlager nach dieser Lehrstunde in Pragmatismus. "Wir mussten richtig viel laufen, aber das hat sich ausgezahlt. Wir haben die Null gehalten, das war der Schlüssel zum Erfolg." Der VfL kontrollierte die Partie nun fast nach Belieben, ließ in der zweiten Halbzeit nur einen Torschuss zu (Casteels parierte einen Fernschuss in der 82. Minute), so dass Peter Bosz trotz eines Chancenverhältnisses von 6:3 für sein Team geradeheraus einräumte: "Es war ein verdienter Sieg für Wolfsburg."
Für Leverkusen war es in jeder Hinsicht ein misslicher Nachmittag, denn zur Niederlage kamen weitere Notstände: Lars Bender verletzte sich am Hinterkopf und an der Wade, und Defensivstabilisator Julian Baumgartlinger musste nur sieben Minuten nach seiner Einwechslung schon wieder raus, mit dem Verdacht auf eine langwierige Knieverletzung. Bosz sagte mit Blick auf den ausgedünnten Kader: "Das macht mir Angst", vermutlich sogar mehr Angst als die zuletzt miese Liga-Bilanz (nur vier Punkte aus den vergangenen sechs Spielen) - und mit jedem Rückschlag für Bosz & Co. wächst die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass der VfL Wolfsburg die beste Werkself dieser Bundesliga-Saison wird.

DURING the most unusual New Year's Eve celebrations most of us will ever encounter, something magical took place.
Few knew about it. Even less turned up for the gig.
But, to the joy of those who collected the prizes, on Thursday evening the annual black tie 'Yeeehaaa' awards took place at a glittering ceremony attended by well, just me!
There's no doubt 2020 was a Covid year we will all never forget, and it was a miracle for the racing industry that the sport continued at all.
Cheltenham was stuffed in before everything went pear-shaped, but despite Covid highs and lows abounded as usual.
So who took centre stage and gained the most coveted recognition in the Sport of Kings? Let's find out..
Yeeehaaa for the Best Flat performance of 2020
For once this was wide open and subject to a number of different possibilities.
However, the casting vote - by me - fell to Mohaather's success in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood.
This was not only about a horse who had promised to deliver a sizzling performance, but also the return to the big time of trainer Marcus Tregoning.
The latter of course won the Derby in 2006 with Sir Percy, but has been in the wildnerness for many years after that.
Now Tregoning, always positive and a gentleman, was back.
Jim Crowley was able to get in a bit of trouble and still storm down the outside to score from Circus Maximus, Siskin and Kameko. His turn of foot was superb.
Yeeehaaa for Best Jumps performance of 2020
Perhaps not the most obvious winner here, as his best effort was not in one of the biggest Grade 1s.
But the Nicky Henderson-trained Shishkin performed miracles under Nico de Boinville to come from off the pace to land the Supreme Novices' Hurdle despite being hampered badly along the way.
He's just a brilliant horse with incredible talent. I love him.
Yeeehaaa for Exciting conditional jockey to follow
Although he might not be currently topping the list, Bryan Carver continues to impress and was superb on Magic Saint for Paul Nicholls in November. This boy can ride.
Yeeehaaa for Exciting apprentice jockeys to follow
Cieren Fallon conitnued to dominate the apprentice ranks with his Group 1 victory on Oxted in the July Cup taking centre stage.
However, Harrison Shaw is getting better all the time and Georgia Dobie is talented for the girls coming through.
Laura Pearson is developing all the time.
Yeeehaaa for jockeys who have excelled
David Bass, Nico de Boinville, Aidan Coleman, Bryony Frost, Richard Kingscote, Jack Mitchell and Tom Marquand all superb.
Yeeehaaa for Jumps training performance of the Year
Willie Mullins often takes this award and does so again for getting the fabulous Faugheen to land a Grade 1 novice chase at Leopardstown and finish a possibly unlucky third in the Marsh Chase at Cheltenham.
Yeeehaaa for Flat training performance of the Year
Tregoning's effort with Mohaather was exceptional, but Joseph O'Brien won a second Melbourne Cup with Twilight Payment his victor.
The young lad is a right chip off the old block and took the number one spot.
Yeeehaaa for being OMG
James Fanshawe for his Breeders' Cup success with Audarya. Was just a great moment of glory.
Tom Eaves was fabulous on Glass Slippers at the same meeting.
Yeeehaaa for saddest loss
That defeat of Faugheen in the Marsh was hard to take, even though the second coming Samcro managed to get up and score.
Faugheen just didn't quite jump enough on the day. If he had done so, I think he would have won well.
Yeeehaaa for most significant breathing op
Politologue. The Champion Chase hero has taken on a new lease of life! Well done Paul Nicholls.
Yeeehaaa for winning is everything
Al Boum Photo. Rarely seen, but going for a hat-trick of Gold Cups in 2021.
Also Oisin Murphy for being champion Flat jockey in difficult circumstances.
Yeeehaaa for winning is not everything
Altior was stuffed at Kempton on his return. Some have written him off and given up. Not me. Henderson might just have the last laugh somewhere.
Pinatubo suffered many defeats on the level but I still believe he was an absolute beast.
Yeeehaaa if we see them on the track again
Faugheen again. He's some way off a run. Let's hope he gets one.
Yeeehaaa for the most exciting horse to follow in 2021
Monkfish. Envoi Allen. Shishkin. The Big Getaway.
Yeeehaaa for special 100 up
Hollie Doyle did it again in record time. She's dominated the year and it seems her partner Tom Marquand, having just got engaged!
Yeeehaaa for most underrated Group 1 winner
This goes to Serpentine, the Derby winner. Underrated in that he wasn't very good!
Yeeehaaa for clash of the season
The Dewhurst was a cracker. It might not have given the result most wanted, but St Mark's Basilica might still be very good.
Well done for getting through 2020. Now for 2021. Remember there are always people worse off than you and even me! Enjoy life. Happy New Year!

RACEHORSE trainer Zoe Davison's cancer has spread and she is now taking 'each day as it comes', daughter Gemelle has revealed.
Davison has been flooded with well wishes from the racing world as she puts up an 'incredible fight' against her illness.
She has been living with cancer for four-and-a-half years.
Daughter and former jockey Gemelle posted a message to followers thanking them for their support on social media.
She said: "Thank you, to each and every one of you, that have sent well wishes.
"Unfortunately mum (Zoe) is suffering from secondary breast cancer.
"She has put up an incredible fight for four-and-a-half years, sadly the cancer has spread in her body.
"Zoe wanted to hold out for Christmas and has done so.
"We're now taking each day as it comes."
Gemelle, who helps train racehorses alongside her mum, dedicated a shock 40-1 winner to her mum last November.
Gustav sprung a major shock when he landed a 2m 4f race with Page Fuller in the saddle.
After the ten-year-old's win, Gemelle tweeted: "This has put a huge smile on Zoe Davison's (mum) face, as she is currently in hospital battling cancer.
"This one's for you mum."
Zoe trains flat and jump horses from her Shovelstrode Racing Stables base, just outside East Grinstead, Sussex.
Chaser Finnegan's Garden is one of her biggest horses, while Frank N Fair, Sherjawy and Just Beware have been favourites among punters.
Up and coming star Page Fuller is the stable's jockey.
She recently shared a tweet from Gemelle that read: "For those of you [who] don't know, mum is still fighting but the cancer is getting the better of her now.
"She’s not able to do much, but it hasn’t stopped her scanning through races for the horses."

Nicky Henderson updates punters with plans for Cheltenham Festival hopes but one big name is definitely OUT

TOP trainer Nicky Henderson has mapped out his latest plans for a bunch of star names.
And Gold Cup hopes Santini and Champ could well clash in the Cotswold Chase this month at Cheltenham.
Champ has not been seen since his RSA win at Cheltenham while Santini was beaten in the King George on Boxing Day.
Meanwhile Altior and Shishkin could be aimed at Newbury's Game Spirit but Supreme Novices' chance Dusart is OUT of the Cheltenham Festival.
Henderson told his Unibet blog: "I'm pleased to say Champ is in excellent form and the obvious race would be the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham on Festival Trials Day.
"It might have to be for Santini as well, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, because there's also the Denman Chase at Newbury in February.
"Champ is coming along great and Nico de Boinville had a spin on him on Christmas Eve and he's been jumping very well.
"There is nothing else before the Cotswold Chase, so I'd imagine he'd have a racecourse gallop beforehand which should put him spot on."
It was a mixed Christmas period for Henderson, with star novice Shishkin impressing at Kempton, but both Epatante and Altior beaten at the Sunbury venue.
Shishkin is likely to have one more run before heading for the Arkle at Cheltenham, while Henderson feels it would be dangerous to dismiss Altior's chances of winning a third Queen Mother Champion Chase despite his surprise defeat at the hands of Nube Negra.
Henderson said: "Shishkin has come out of Kempton very well and I'm extremely happy with him.
"I want to give him one more run before the Arkle and it will be in either the Kingmaker at Warwick or Game Spirit at Newbury, but I also have Altior pencilled in for that (Game Spirit).
"Altior is fine and there is nothing else to report except to say he will most certainly not be retired and you didn't see the real him the other day.
"He's probably getting to that stage where he may be losing a bit of that speed that has always been so potent, but the way he jumps at home you'd have no reason to think he's slowing down - he's still like a rocket.
"I would think there is every possibility that he will be given an entry in the Ryanair Chase, but we haven't really discussed it and at the moment the Champion Chase remains the goal."
Henderson had less positive news on exciting novice hurdler Dusart, who looks likely to miss the Cheltenham Festival.
He said: "I'm afraid you won't be seeing Dusart for quite a while because we've had a very unfortunate setback and for the time being we'll have to consider he is out of action.
"Without going into all the unnecessary gory details, he had an accident at home and is still at the equine hospital, but he's doing well and will definitely be back, although I cannot say if he will be back this season or not.
"I've got to say it's very doubtful that he will be going to Cheltenham."

George Clooney insists 'painful' turn as Batman changed his acting

George Clooney has looked back on his career in a recent BAFTA interview, and insisted that his questionable turn as Batman shaped his future acting work.
George, 59, played the caped crusader in 1997's Batman & Robin - slammed by critics as one of the 'worst' entries in the Batman saga. It was in fact voted the 'worst film ever' in 2010 by readers of Empire magazine.
George has described it as 'painful' - but believes it changed the way he approaches his craft.
Chatting about the acclaimed film Out Of Sight, which he starred in after Batman & Robin, George said: 'It had been a year, I’d gotten killed for doing Batman & Robin and I understood for the first time, because quite honestly when I got Batman & Robin I was just an actor getting an acting job and I was excited to play Batman.
'What I realised after that was that I was going to be held responsible for the movie itself, not just my performance or what I was doing.
'So I knew I needed to focus on better scripts, the script was the most important thing.
'You can’t make a good film out of a bad script, it’s impossible. You can make a bad film out of a good script.'
Batman & Robin was written by Akiva Goldsman, directed by Joel Schumacher and co-starred the likes of Alicia Silverstone as Batgirl, Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr Freeze.
George has often slammed the film - even advising Ben Affleck, who played the hero in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and then a further two films, to steer clear of the role.
His new project is The Midnight Sky, which he has directed as well.
In it, he plays scientist Augustine Lofthouse who is one of Earth's survivors after an unidentified catastrophe wipes out most of the planet's population.
Talking about the role, and his status as one of Hollywood's heartthrobs, he said: 'Midnight Sky... I've got this long beard and I look really old!'
He also weighed in on the future of cinema - an industry taking a major hit thanks to COVID-19.
'I know there’s this panic about cinemas because they’re not being looked after by our governments, which is a huge industry issue,' he said. 'We subsidise oil companies, we could subsidise the movie theatres for a period of time.
'I’m not worried about us being back, cinema will always exist, we’re all going to be back together, you still have to go out some time right? You still have to go to a concert, go see a movie. You want a collective.'
George recorded the BAFTA: A Life In Pictures interview virtually in London and joins the likes of Viola Davis, Nicole Kidman, Ridley Scott, Hugh Grant, Quentin Tarantino and Keira Knightley, who have been featured in the past.
Stars of the screen sit down with an interviewer from the Academy and discuss their careers at length, with George's set to be broadcast on BAFTA YouTube Channels at midday on Monday 18 Jan.

Am kommenden Wochenende steht zunächst die WM auf seiner Hausbahn am Königssee an.
"Von so einer Saison kann man nur träumen, ich bin sprachlos", sagte Loch im ZDF. "Es ist ein perfekter Winter, ich will das jetzt so zu Ende bringen und immer ganz vorne dabei sein." Am Samstag in Igls verwies Loch den Ex-Weltmeister Semen Pawlitschenko um sechs Tausendstelsekunden auf Rang zwei, Dritter wurde Johannes Ludwig (Oberhof), der zuvor als einziger noch theoretisch die Chance hatte, Loch in der Gesamtwertung abzufangen.

Deutschland erreicht doch noch das Klimaziel für 2020. Die Kohlekraft bricht ein, 50 Prozent Ökostrom sind inzwischen im Netz und geringer Flugverkehr hilft dem Klimaziel. Doch der CO2-Ausstoß könnte auch wieder steigen.
Unter der Führung von Angela Merkel beschloss die Bundesregierung 2007 den CO2-Ausstoß bis 2020 um mindestens 40 Prozent zu senken. Laut Analyse des Berliner Thinktank Agora Energiewende hat Deutschland dieses Ziel für 2020 eindeutig erreicht und minderte seinen CO2-Ausstoß im Vergleich zu 1990 um 42 Prozent. 2020 stieß Deutschland demnach 722 Millionen Tonnen CO2 aus und damit 82 Millionen Tonnen weniger als 2019 - ein Rückgang von zehn Prozent.
Zwei Drittel dieser Minderung sind laut Agora Corona-bedingt: Durch die Rezession ging vor allem der Energiebedarf der Industrie deutlich zurück und damit sank auch der CO2-Ausstoß um über 50 Millionen Tonnen CO2. Ohne die Krise hätte der Rückgang an CO2 Emissionen laut Agora nur bei etwa 25 Millionen Tonnen gelegen. Mit dieser Emissionsminderung von 38 Prozent im Vergleich zu 1990 hätte Deutschland also das gesetzte Klimaziel verfehlt.
"Echte Klimaschutzeffekte hat es 2020 nur im Stromsektor gegeben, denn hier gehen die CO2-Minderung auf den Ersatz von Kohle durch Gas und Erneuerbare Energien zurück", sagt Patrick Graichen, Direktor von Agora Energiewende.
Über 50 Prozent Ökostrom im Netz
2020 lag der Anteil vom Ökostrom im deutschen Stromnetz laut Analyse des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Solare Energiesysteme (ISE) bei 50,5 und im Vorjahr bei 46 Prozent. 2020 deckte demnach allein die Windkraft 27 Prozent des Strombedarfs in Deutschland und produzierte damit mehr Strom als Braunkohle (17%) und Steinkohle (7%) zusammen. Solarmodule deckten 10 Prozent des deutschen Strombedarfs, Kraftwerke mit Biomasse 9 und Wasserkraft 4 Prozent.
Während die Windräder durch ein gutes Windjahr 2020 fünf Prozent mehr Strom als im Vorjahr erzeugten und Photovoltaikmodule 7 Prozent mehr, ging die Stromerzeugung mit Braunkohle (-20%) und Steinkohle (-28%) deutlich zurück. In 2019 war der Rückgang der Kohleverstromung im Vergleich zum Vorjahr noch jeweils stärker und lag bei bei 22 und 33 Prozent.
"Die Kohlekraft ist weiter im Sinkflug", sagt Patrick Graichen und dies werde sich auch "in den nächsten Jahren fortsetzen". Der Grund liege zum einen am Ausbau der Erneuerbaren Energien und zum anderen am gestiegenen Preis für CO2, erklärt Graichen im DW-Gespräch.
Dadurch wird Kohlestrom teurer und zunehmend unrentabel. Neben den Erneuerbaren Energien liefern Gaskraftwerke im Vergleich oft günstiger Strom, sie laufen deshalb häufiger - in der Folge stehen Kohlekraftwerke immer öfter still.
Aus diesem Grund fließt laut Agora inzwischen auch weniger Kohlestrom aus Deutschland ins Ausland, da die Nachbarländer mit Gaskraftwerken den Strom günstiger selbst produzierten. In der Summe flossen 2020 so noch drei Prozent des Stroms aus Deutschland über die Grenzen, 2019 lag der Stromexport noch doppelt so hoch.
Weniger Flugverkehr großer Klimaeffekt
Der Luftverkehr spielt bei den deutschen Klimazielen bislang eine untergeordnete Rolle, da bei der Bewertung der nationalen Emissionen nur der inländische Flugverkehr gezählt wird. In Deutschland zeigt sich durch den infolge der Pandemie eingebrochenen Flugverkehr ein sehr positiver Effekt fürs Klima. Laut Agora wurden bis 2019 durch in Deutschland startende Flugzeuge Klimaeffekte ausgelöst, die dem Ausstoß von über 80 Millionen Tonnen CO2 pro Jahr entsprechen. Im Vergleich zum Vorjahr sei der Absatz von Kerosin in Deutschland 2020 um 55 Prozent zurückgegangen - das habe eine Klimawirkung von über 40 Millionen Tonnen eingespartem CO2.
Bei Diesel und Benzin für den Auto und LKW-Verkehr ging der Absatz laut Agora um neun Prozent zurück - ein Rückgang des CO2-Ausstoßes um rund 14 Millionen Tonnen.
Kurs zum Pariser Klimaziel?
Für die Einhaltung der 1,5-Grad-Grenze, die im Weltklimaabkommen von Paris vereinbart wurde, müssen laut Studie des Wuppertal Instituts die CO2-Emissionen nun weiter sehr deutlich und kontinuierlich sinken. "Deutschland muss bis 2035 CO2-neutral werden. Sonst ist ein adäquater Beitrag für die Erreichung des 1,5-Grad-Celsius Ziels nicht zu schaffen", sagt Energie- und Klimaforscher Prof. Manfred Fischedick, Leiter des Wuppertal Instituts. "Aus technischer und ökonomischer Sicht ist das extrem anspruchsvoll, aber grundsätzlich durchaus möglich", so Fischedick.
Der zentrale Schlüssel sei ein starker Ausbau der Erneuerbaren Energien. Fischedick und seine Kollegen empfehlen für die Einhaltung der 1,5-Grad-Grenze einen Ausbau der Stromerzeugung durch Solar- und Windkraftanlagen von mindestens 25 bis 30 Gigawatt pro Jahr - das ist drei bis fünf Mal schneller als in den vergangenen Jahren.
Bei Agora Energiewende, wo man ein Szenario zur Erreichung der Klimaneutralität bis 2050 für Deutschland skizziert, sieht man einen Ausbaubedarf von Solar- und Windkraft von 15,5 Gigawatt pro Jahr in den nächsten Jahren. "Das entspricht nicht dem 1,5 Grad-Ziel", so Graicheng, "da müsste man noch eine Schüppe drauflegen."
Bislang ist die Bundesregierung mit ihren Plänen zum Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien noch weit entfernt, um das Pariser Klimaziel und auch das gesetzte EU-Klimaziel bis 2030 zu erreichen. Bislang ist lediglich ein Ausbau von insgesamt rund 10 Gigawatt Wind- und Solarkaft pro Jahr geplant. Graichen rechnet auch deshalb mit einem Anstieg der Treibhausgase "sobald die Wirtschaft wieder anzieht". 2021 könnte zudem der Stromverbrauch stärker steigen als der Zuwachs an Erneuerbaren Energien. "Für 2021 rechnen wir daher in Summe mit mehr Emissionen. Nur durch schnelles klimapolitisches Handeln kann man dem entgegensteuern", so Graichen.

Al Boum Photo makes easy winning return at Tramore to set up hat-trick Gold Cup bid at Cheltenham Festival

AL BOUM PHOTO was close to picture perfect as he made an easy winning return at Tramore.
The dual Gold Cup winner made light-work of his four rivals in the Grade 3 New Year's Day Chase.
It was a third Tramore win on the spin for Willie Mullins' star and will again be used as a launchpad for the Cheltenham Festival where he will be looking to emulate the legendary Best Mate in the Gold Cup.
Best Mate was the last horse to win three Gold Cups on the spin and Al Boum Photo now has the chance to join him in the history books.
The Tramore heat became a walk in the park at the halfway stage when leader Djingle swiftly faded.
Stablemate Brahma Bull had already departed after he got rid of David Mullins over the second.
It left Al Boum Photo to track his other stablemate Acapella Bourgeois for the remainder of the race before he kicked clear two from home.
He skipped away with relative ease, as all 2-9 favourites should.
Betfair cut him into 7-2 from 9-2 for the Gold Cup off the back of his win.
Winning rider Paul Townend smiled: "It was a different test from last year, we went a proper gallop and it was a proper test.
"He ground it out well and it was job done.
"It's always tricky when you get left on your own like that too. They tend to switch off a bit.
"But he's put plenty of daylight between him and Acapella Bourgeois to the line."
Townend confirmed Al Boum Photo would now head straight to the Gold Cup and makes him the one to beat.
He added: "When you see the way the rest of them finished, they were all out on their feet, and my lad went well, it's a good sign.
"The pressure is off for a little while now!
"He's been there and done it twice at Cheltenham, he's the one they have to beat.
"And he's done nothing wrong today, all roads now lead to Cheltenham."

Sağlık Bakanlığından yapılan yazılı açıklamada, son 24 saatte 100 bin Kovid-19 testi yapıldığı bunlardan 10 bin 21'inin pozitif çıktığı belirtildi.
Bu, ülkede ilk vakanın tespit edildiği Şubat 2020'den bu yana kaydedilen en yüksek günlük vaka sayısı olurken, yaklaşık 9,3 milyon nüfusa sahip İsrail'de toplam vaka sayısı 562 bin 167'ye yükseldi.
Uygulanan karantinaya rağmen vaka sayılarının giderek arttığı ülkede son bir günde 44 kişinin daha virüs nedeniyle hayatını kaybetmesiyle ölü sayısının 4 bin 49'a çıktığı ifade edildi.
10 hamile kadının da aralarında bulunduğu 1114 hastanın durumunun ise ağır olduğu kaydedildi.
Öte yandan ülkede 2 milyon 185 bin 113 kişiye Kovid-19 aşısının ilk dozu, 420 bin 15 kişiye de ikinci dozu yapıldı.
AKTİF VAKA SAYISI ARTMAYA DEVAM EDİYOR
Ülkede geçen yıl eylül ayında başlayan ve yaklaşık 1 ay süren karantina sayesinde 8 binin altına düşen aktif vaka sayısı, son günlerdeki artışla 81 bin 59'a çıktı.
Kabine, bugün yapılacak toplantıda uluslararası uçuşların durdurulması ve 27 Aralık 2020'de başlayan üçüncü karantinanın uzatılması gibi yeni olası önlemleri görüşecek.
İsrail yönetimi, 27 Aralık 2020'de yumuşatılmış karantina uygulamasını başlatmış ancak vaka sayalarındaki artış nedeniyle 7 Ocak Perşembe gece yarısından itibaren karantina kurallarını sıkılaştırma kararı almıştı.

Wenn die Manager der Fußball-Drittligisten am Mittwoch darüber beraten, ob künftig doch wieder fünf Wechsel erlaubt sein sollen, wird Hansa Rostock dafür stimmen. Nach "Bild"-Angaben haben die Norddeutschen den entsprechenden Antrag für eine erneute Diskussion beim DFB eingebracht. "So kann man auch eher reagieren und trotzdem hinten 'raus müde Spieler ersetzen. Du hast auch weniger Unzufriedene", erklärte Trainer Jens Härtel den Sinneswandel bei den Mecklenburgern, die ursprünglich aus Kostengründen gegen fünf Wechsel waren. | 04.01.2020 15:13

TEMPLEGATE casts his eagle eye over Saturday's cards looking to find a winner.
He has picked out three horses who can get the job done - as well as naming a fancy in every race on the day.
METIER (2.25 Sandown, nap).
Harry Fry’s five-year-old was impressive when scooting in at Ascot last time. That built on a ten-length success as he really caught the eye on his Newton Abbot debut.
He is proven in what are sure to be testing conditions as he showed first up but also when winning on the Flat in his younger days.
This doesn’t look the hottest renewal of this Grade 1 and he has shown enough to perform at this level.
TAKINGRISKS (3.15 Ayr, nb)
He is a former Scottish Grand National winner so he’ll love this test of stamina.
He came back with a quiet run over hurdles and looked much happier jumping fences in the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle. He was a close-up fourth there and should have too much quality.
FRIEND OR FOE (3.35 Sandown, treble)
He won on the bridle at Wincanton 18 days ago.
He cruised along under Harry Cobden who barely had to shake the reins to score by 11 lengths.
The ground was testing so he should handle conditions and is capable of taking another step forward.
LINGFIELD
11.30 Elegant Love
Good winner here last time and should go close again.
12.00 Damned Elusive
Looks on fair mark for handicap debut after good third.
12.35 Abrag
Well bred and showed promise on debut at Kempton.
1.10 Lunar Deity
In form and looking for fifth course and distance win.
1.45 Three C’s
Coming down weights and has won similar races before.
2.20 Shining Success
Plenty in hand when winning at Chelmsford latest.
2.55 Hidden Breeze
Went close here last time and more to come.
3.30 Shamshon
Best run for a good while when fifth here last time out.
SANDOWN
12.05 Hystery Bere
Winner in France and has joined and in-form stable.
12.40 Stormy Ireland
Much better than this grade if showing her best form.
1.15 Destinee Royale
Good win last time and should be capable of better.
1.50 Ibleo
Knocking on the door and went close at Cheltenham latest.
2.25 METIER (NAP)
Two good wins so far and destined for better things.
3.00 Sir Ivan
Good effort at Leicester and repeat could be good enough.
3.35 Friend Or Foe (treble)
Easy win at Wincanton and looks on the upgrade.
AYR
12.20 Wetlands
Easy winner over course and distance last time out.
12.55 Ard Chros
Won this last year and weighted to go close again.
1.30 The Edgar Wallace
Promise on hurdles debut and will be fitter for that run.
2.05 Evander
Easy winner at Doncaster latest and has much more to offer.
2.40 Illegal Model
Running well and has shown best form in testing conditions.
3.15 Takingrisks (nb)
Scottish National winner who will like this stamina test.
3.45 Those Tiger Feet
Plenty in hand when winning here last time out.
WOLVERHAMPTON
4.10 Madeeh
Has shown best form over this course and distance.
4.40 Red Allure
Unlucky when second here last time and won’t be far away.
5.10 Australis
Goes well here and has plenty of stamina for this trip.
5.40 Revolutionary Man
Handicap winner last time and every chance for new yard.
6.10 Blue Hero
Has joined top connections and capable of better.
6.40 Lochnaver
Looks the type to improve plenty over this longer distance.
7.10 Lucky Ava
Went close here last time and doesn’t need much more.

THE MET OFFICE has issued fresh warnings for snow as rain from Storm Christoph reaches cold air in the north of England and Scotland. Now the whole of England is under Met Office warnings on Wednesday. Here are the latest warnings.

THE MET OFFICE has issued fresh warnings for snow as rain from Storm Christoph reaches cold air in the north of England and Scotland. Now the whole of England is under Met Office warnings on Wednesday. Here are the latest warnings.
Met Office warnings cover the entirety of England, Northern Ireland, Wales and parts of Scotland this week as Storm Christoph brings fierce winds and torrential rain. Now that rain is forecast to turn to snow in the North of England and Scotland, with Met Office snow warnings in place on Wednesday.
Storm Christoph was named on Monday, with a deepening low threatening the UK enough for the Met Office to name the system as the third storm of the 2020/21 storm season.
Torrential rain is forecast, alongside strong winds and dropping temperatures.
Now the entirety of England is under weather warnings from Wednesday for both rain and snow.
Warnings also span to Northern Ireland, Wales and parts of Scotland as Storm Christoph tracks across the UK.

The latest warning to be issued is for snow, with forecasters warning up to 11 inches could blanket hills in the warning area.
The Met Office warns: "Persistent rain over southern Scotland and the far north of England will increasingly fall as snow above around 100 m during Wednesday afternoon and overnight into Thursday.
"A few cm of wet snow may accumulate down to around 100m but above 200m 3.9 to 5.9 inches (10 to 15cm) may settle with perhaps 7.87 to 11.8 inches (20 to 30cm) above 400 m.
"Rain is more likely on lowest ground near the east coast and may bring some localised surface water flooding".
The snow warning comes into force at 12pm on Wednesday and lasts until 12pm on Thursday with the bulk of the snow seen overnight on Wednesday.
The areas affected are the North East of England, SW Scotland, Lothian Borders, and Strathclyde.
Heavy snowfall could cause possible delays on roads, with some vehicles and passengers potentially stranded.
Rural communities could become cut off, and power cuts could impact services like mobile phones.

Maps from WXCharts and Netweather show heavy snow across much of the country on Wednesday, with concentrations around the north of England and Scotland.
A further snow warning is in place on Thursday, with blizzard conditions expected across Central, Tayside and Fife, Grampian and Highlands and Eilean Siar.
The Met Office warns: "An area of rain associated with Storm Christoph will push in from the northeast, turning readily to snow away from coasts and at even modest elevation.
"Snow accumulations of 1.9 to 3.9 inches (five to 10cm) are possible in places at low levels whilst 3.9 to 5.9 inches (10 to 15cm) is likely above around 200 m with perhaps 11.8 to 15.7 inches (30 to 40cm) above 400 m."
The forecasters also caution winds of up to 60mph could be seen along north facing coasts, with the potential for blizzard conditions over higher ground.
This comes as an amber warning for rain has been issued for parts of the north of England including Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Wakefield, Lincoln, Nottingham, Leicester and Peterborough.
In place until 12pm on Thursday, the amber warning is due to rainfall accumulations which could reach up to 7.87 inches (200mm) in parts of the southern Pennines and northern Peak District.
The Met Office tweeted to say the storm had already brought torrential rain overnight on Monday, writing: "#StormChristoph has brought the first batch of heavy #rain across the UK through the night Aberllefenni in Wales has recorded 35.2mm since midnight".
The Environment Agency has issued a swathe of flood warnings for England as Storm Christoph hits, with 132 in place at the time of writing.
Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said rain is "initially" the main concern but the picture will change as low pressure could introduce colder air.
He explained: "As we go through the week and the low pressure that is bringing these fronts of rainfall that are persistent and heavy over the next few days ... as that low pressure moves east and out into the North Sea, the winds will become a thing really later in the week.
"Also as the low pressure moves away it pulls down a north-westerly airflow which brings much colder air across the UK again which then presents a further risk of snow."
Mr Claydon described the situation as "a timeline of different hazards as we go through the week but the first hazard is certainly of rain and that's reflected in the warnings at the moment".
With temperatures continuing to drop, bookmakers Ladbrokes now make it just a 1/2 shot for this to be the coldest January ever.
Elsewhere, with even more heavy rain forecast, it's now just a 5/4 shot this ends up being a record-breaking wet January.
Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Apati said: "Things don't look great on the weather front for the next few weeks with a record-breaking January potentially on the way."

Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyesi Su ve Kanalizasyon İdaresi (DİSKİ) Genel Müdürlüğü, kentin su ihtiyacını karşılayan Gözeli su havzasında geçtiğimiz dönemlerde yağmur nedeniyle oluşan selden zarar gören ihata duvarını onardı. Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyesi DİSKİ Genel Müdürlüğü, Diyarbakır'ın tarihi su kaynağının bulunduğu Gözeli su havzasını olumsuz dış etkenlerden, doğal afetlerden, çevresel kirliliklerden ve hayvanların vereceği zararlardan korumak amacıyla yapılan ihata duvarında geçen kış yağan yoğun yağmurlardan dolayı oluşan selden kaynaklı yıkıntıları onardı. Gözeli İçme Suyu Havzası Etrafına İhata Duvarı Projesi kapsamında, 360 dönümlük alan 4 bin 590 metre uzunluğunda ve 2 metre 45 santimetre yüksekliğinde ihata duvarı ile çevrelendi. Dicle Nehrinden sonra kentin yüzde 10’luk içme suyu ihtiyacının karşılandığı Gözeli su havzasından temin edilen su, kaynak suyu özelliği taşıyor. Gözeli su havzasında kaynak suyunun yanı sıra 600 kilovatlık güneş enerji santrali ve 18 adet sondaj kuyusu yer alıyor. Gözeli havzası ihata duvarı geçen yıllarda kışın yağan yoğun yağmurlardan dolayı oluşan sel sularının basıncı nedeniyle üç muhtelif lokasyonda olmak üzere toplamda yaklaşık 150 metelik kısmı yıkılmıştı. DİSKİ, ihata duvarının zarar gören yerlerindeki onarımını tamamladı. Ayrıca Gözeli Havzası içerisindeki derenin ihata duvarları dışına deşarjını sağlamak amacı ile üç gözlü menfez ve ızgaralarının yapım işi de hala devam ederken, DİSKİ Genel Müdürü Fırat Tutşi ve Genel Müdür Yardımcısı Fatih Yürük, çalışmaları inceleyerek teknik ekipten bilgi aldığı belirtildi.

Die brüllenden Wellen, die Eisberge, das Seemannsgrab vor Kap Hoorn, den einsamsten Punkt der Erde: All das haben die meisten Segler der Vendée Globe hinter sich gelassen. Und immer noch scheint ein unsichtbares Band die Segler zusammenzuhalten nach abertausenden Wellen, die ans Boot klatschten, nach über 50 000 Kilometern. Die Entscheidung, so sieht es nach mehr als 75 entbehrungsreichen Tagen aus, scheint tatsächlich in einem Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen zu fallen - wie in einem Match-Race einer ganzen Flotte.
Normalerweise zählt man die Abstände bei der Vendée Globe in Tagen. Manchmal sind die Segler so weit voneinander entfernt, dass die Führenden die Sonne aufgehen sehen, während bei den anderen die Nacht hereinbricht. Doch diesmal ist alles anders: Kamen bei der letzten Ausgabe vor vier Jahren die ersten sechs Segler binnen sechs Tagen ins Ziel, könnten am Mittwoch oder Donnerstag das erste halbe Dutzend innerhalb von Stunden den Hafen von Les Sables-d'Olonne an der französischen Atlantikküste erreichen.
Aber eine Solo-Weltumseglung ist ja weniger ein Rennen als ein Abenteuer. Gewissheiten gibt es dabei kaum, schon gar nicht jene, auch anzukommen.
Boris Herrmann hat sich den Respekt der Franzosen verdient
Denn ursprünglich war der Brite Alex Thomson angetreten als großer Herausforderer der Franzosen, er wollte endlich die Dominanz Frankreichs bei der Regatta brechen. Bei seinem fünften Anlauf sollte es klappen mit dem Sieg, dafür hatte er ein radikales Boot bauen lassen. Aber schon vor dem ersten Advent musste er mit einem gebrochenen Steuerbordruder aufgeben. Acht von 33 Teilnehmern mussten bislang die Segel streichen. Sie trafen sich wieder in Kapstadt, im "Hafen der Unglücklichen", wie der Segler Boris Herrmann den Ort nennt, weil sich dorthin jene schleppen, die früh im Rennen aufgeben mussten.
Nun ist es nicht Thomson, sondern Boris Herrmann, der sich den Respekt der überwiegend französischen Konkurrenz verdient hat. Bei der neunten Auflage der Vendée Globe könnte der gebürtige Oldenburger der Segelnation Frankreich den Rang streitig machen. Dem Deutschen werden weit mehr als nur Außenseiterchancen eingeräumt: "Wir könnten diesmal einen Nicht-Franzosen auf dem Podium haben, warum also nicht auch vom Sieg träumen?", sagte zuletzt Armel Le Cléac'h, der Sieger der vergangenen Ausgabe.
Doch im Moment liegt der 36-Jährige Charlie Dalin in Front, ein französischer Bootsbauingenieur, den ein Fachmagazin den "Foil-Flüsterer" nennt, weil er ein großes Gespür hat für den Tanz auf den Tragflügeln. Wie gut sein Boot in Schuss ist, darüber rätseln auch die Konkurrenz; Dalin gibt sich zugeknöpft. Fast gleichauf segelt sein Landsmann Louis Burton, 35, der mit einem westlicheren Kurs zuletzt viel riskiert hatte und sich mit diesem Manöver einen Vorteil verschafft hat. Schon im Südmeer wählte er einen brutalen Kurs entlang am Eismeer, der ihn weit nach vorne katapultierte. Das nötig auch Herrmann Respekt ab: "Luis Burton scheint ein harter Draufgänger zu sein, ganz im Gegenteil zu mir", sagte er am Freitag in einer Videoschalte. Deshalb sehe Herrmann kaum Chancen, ihn einzuholen.
Das muss er vielleicht auch nicht. Sollte sich kein Konkurrent weiter absetzen können, dann könnten am Ende die Zeitgutschriften aus der Rettungsaktion im Südatlantik über die Spitzenplätze entscheiden. Anfang Dezember hatte Jean Le Cam nach endlosen Stunden Kevin Escoffier aus dem Wasser gefischt, auch Herrmann und Yannick Bestaven waren beigedreht und hatten die Nacht mit der Suche verbracht. Le Cam bekam den größten Bonus (16 Stunden und fünfzehn Minuten), Bestaven (10 Stunden und fünfzehn Minuten) und Herrmann (sechs Stunden) eine kleinere Wiedergutmachung.
Doch zumindest das Spitzentrio könnte sich in den nächsten Tagen absetzen: Die Prognosen der Wetter-Gurus der Vendée Globe erwarten, dass Burton, Dalin und Herrmann noch der Sprung in einen günstigeren Windkorridor gelingen könnte, während die Verfolger in einer Zone mit Schwachwinden hängen bleiben. Es könnte - und das ist die Lehre aus der Vendée Globe - natürlich auch ganz anders kommen.
Die Flotte hält nun auf die Azoreninseln zu, wo ein Hochdruckgebiet wartet, danach könnte jede Halse entscheidend sein: "Wie wir durch die Tiefdruckgebiete und durch die Kaltfronten kommen, wann genau wir halsen, wie wir die Winddreher erwischen, das wird den Unterschied machen", glaubt Herrmann. "Das Podium ist nicht sicher", sagt Herrmann am Freitag, "ich könnte auch noch Siebter werden."
In der Whatsapp-Gruppe der Segler, die Herrmann aufgesetzt hat, ist es stiller geworden, seit die Spitze das Kap Hoorn hinter sich gelassen hat und es Richtung Ziel geht: "Wir sind wieder zu echten Konkurrenten geworden."

FAN FAVOURITE Don Poli has been retired at the age of eleven after a memorable career.
The one-time star stayer and RSA winner had spent time under the care of Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott and Dan Skelton.
But connections felt it was time to pull the plug after two quiet runs this season for Skelton.
Don Poli will be remembered for his two Cheltenham Festival wins in the RSA and the Martin Pipe, as well as a third in the Gold Cup behind Don Cossack and Lexus Chase triumph.
But the 11-year-old will also be recalled fondly for his style of racing, for which punters nicknamed him 'Don Slowly.'
He built up a cult following across Ireland and England so much so that owner Darren Yates paid £170,000 in 2019 despite the horse rising the age of ten.
Yates hoped he could strike in the Grand National, but the horse could only manage 19th place behind Tiger Roll.
And his legion of fans took to social media to celebrate Don Poli's retirement.
One punter joked: "Enjoy retirement Don Poli... always said you’d have been a superstar had they invented a 37mile race... slower than Neil Armstrong on the moon but stayed for days x."
Another added: "Corrr they were even slow in the retirement of Don Poli. How Fitting!"
One laughed: "Very fitting that it took over a month to retire Don Poli.
"Glad they have though very good horse on his day, who only ever done things in his own time. Well deserved retirement!"
Don Poli won over £450,000 in prize money during his career and also landed a couple of point-to-points as his new owner attempted to revitalise his big money buy.

SUN Racing is back to give you some insight on big horses at even bigger prices.
Here, we try to find the value bets which could net you a tasty return from a small stake.
SAN BENEDETO (1.50 Sandown)
Paul Nicholls’ chaser was a classy performer a couple of seasons ago and was good enough to win the Grade 3 Greatwood Gold Cup.
He’s not won since then but the yard’s horses are in superb form and he needed his return from five months off at Newbury. He can build on that and outrun his odds.
PORTSTORM (2.40 Ayr)
Ian Duncan’s six-year-old loved the mud when scoring here last time out. He improved as the race went on with his staying power a real asset.
He gets testing conditions again and can hit the frame at least.
POTTERS LEGEND (3.00 Sandown)
This veteran has been in cracking form this season with a win and second from his two outings.
He had plenty in hand when scoring at Warwick in November and matched that form when a length off the pace at Cheltenham latest. He stays and handles conditions so should be in the mix again.
Don't forget, SunSport tipster Templegate has given a verdict on every race on Saturday.

SANDOWN
12.05 Hystery Bere
Winner in France and has joined and in-form stable.
12.40 Stormy Ireland
Much better than this grade if showing her best form.
1.15 Destinee Royale
Good win last time and should be capable of better.
1.50 Ibleo
Knocking on the door and went close at Cheltenham latest.
2.25 METIER (NAP)
Two good wins so far and destined for better things.
3.00 Sir Ivan
Good effort at Leicester and repeat could be good enough.
3.35 Friend Or Foe (treble)
Easy win at Wincanton and looks on the upgrade.
AYR
12.20 Wetlands
Easy winner over course and distance last time out.
12.55 Ard Chros
Won this last year and weighted to go close again.
1.30 The Edgar Wallace
Promise on hurdles debut and will be fitter for that run.
2.05 Evander
Easy winner at Doncaster latest and has much more to offer.
2.40 Illegal Model

Angelique Kerber sieht das deutsche Damen-Tennis für die Zukunft gut gerüstet, erwartet für die Zeit nach ihrer Karriere aber auch eine kleine Durststrecke. "Wir haben durchaus viele gute Jugendspielerinnen und ich hoffe, in ein paar Jahren werden einige den Durchbruch schaffen", sagte die Kielerin. Die goldenen Zeiten seien aber wohl vorerst vorbei, so die 32-Jährige: "Es sieht momentan nicht danach aus, dass es direkt nach uns wieder so schnell Top-10-Spielerinnen geben wird." | 04.01.2021 14:40

A farewell to @realDonaldTrump, gone after 57,000 tweets

WASHINGTON (AP) — @realDonaldTrump, the Twitter feed that grew from the random musings of a reality TV star into the cudgel of an American president, died Friday. It was not quite 12 years old.
The provocative handle was given birth by a New York real estate tycoon who used it to help him become the 45th U.S. president. It began with a May 4, 2009, tweet promoting Donald Trump’s upcoming appearance on David Letterman’s show.
It died more than 57,000 tweets later, with Trump using some of his final postings on the powerful platform to commiserate with a pro-Trump mob that besieged the halls of Congress in a deadly assault as lawmakers were set to certify his defeat.
The account met its demise when Twitter announced Friday it was pulling the plug permanently on @realDonaldTrump, citing concern that Trump would use it for “further incitement of violence.” Trump retorted that he’d be “building out our own platform in the near future. We will not be SILENCED!”
Trump, a novice politician but seasoned salesman, realized the power of social media in ways that few other politicians did. And he wielded it with never-before-seen power to diminish his opponents, shape elections and mold reality — at least in the eyes of his supporters.
Early on, @realDonaldTrump seemed innocent enough. Its owner, who had prolific experience in marketing casinos, real estate and even Oreos, used the platform mostly to promote his books, media appearances and give friendly plugs to friends.
But as Trump began seriously toying with a White House run, it became a tool to scorch opponents and give shape to his nationalist, “America First” philosophy.
He deployed its venom equally, whether insulting celebrity enemies (Rosie O’Donnell was “crude, rude, obnoxious and dumb”) or using xenophobia to malign a country (Britain is “trying hard to disguise their massive Muslim problem”).
Peter Costanzo, then an online marketing director for the publishing company putting out Trump’s book, “Think Like a Champion,” helped bring Trump to the platform.
Twitter was still in its infancy at the time. But Costanzo, who later came to work for The Associated Press, saw the then-140-character-per-message platform as a new tool that the real estate mogul could use to boost sales and reach a broader audience.
Costanzo was given seven minutes to make his pitch to Trump — “Not five minutes, not 10,” he recalled in a 2016 interview.
Trump liked what he heard.
“I said, ‘Let’s call you @realDonaldTrump — you’re the real Donald Trump,’” recalled Costanzo. “He thought about it for a minute and said: ‘I like it. Let’s do it.’”
Other than Trump’s family, no one seemed off limits from his Twitter wrath. Trump attacked Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats, 2016 political rivals, current administration staffers, former administration staffers, the Republican Party and cable networks.
@realDonaldTrump was prolific: On days when its owner was particularly agitated, such as in the midst of impeachment proceedings, it pushed out more than 100 tweets.
In its most popular tweet, on Oct. 2, 2020, @realDonaldTrump announced that Trump and first lady Melania Trump had contracted the coronavirus. The post got 1.8 million likes and nearly 400,000 retweets, according to Factba.se., which tracks the president’s social media habits and commentary.
The account was used to announce firings. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson learned of his ouster in a tweet.
The account threatened adversaries in the most colorful terms. Before Trump “fell in love” with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un through secretly exchanged letters, Trump used Twitter to dub him “rocket man” and vowed to respond with “fire and fury” if the authoritarian dared attack the United States.
@realDonaldTrump frequently spread misleading, false and malicious assertions, such as the baseless ideas that protesters at Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings were paid by the liberal philanthropist George Soros and that November’s election was beset by voter fraud.
Trump often tweeted well past midnight and before dawn, a cathartic outlet for grievances (Witch hunt! Crooked Hillary, Russia, Russia, Russia, FAKE NEWS, and so on.) For the most part, @realDonaldTrump and its 280-character posts effectively allowed Trump to work around the Washington media establishment and amplify the message of allies.
Sometimes @realDonaldTrump stumbled. Trump deleted 1,166 tweets and, in his final months on the platform, had 471 tweets flagged by Twitter for misinformation, according to Factba.se.
In one of his most memorable Twitter stumbles, Trump in May 2017 sent (and later deleted) a cryptic post-midnight tweet that read “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”
The gibberish set the Twitterverse afire with speculation. Theories included that the tweeter-in-chief had fallen asleep mid-message and that the man who once bragged of having “the best words” was adding a new word to the lexicon to properly describe collusion between Democrats and the press.
The mystery was never solved.
Sam Nunberg, a longtime — and now former — Trump adviser, said that in the summer of 2011, after Trump announced he wasn’t running in 2012 but wanted to remain relevant, his team decided to start using social media to boost his profile.
They chose to focus on Twitter, where he already had an account and several hundred thousand followers. Nunberg remembers sending Trump daily reports on his follower growth. Trump would sometimes hand it back with hand-written notes — “Why not more?” “Why so slow?”
They celebrated when they hit the million mark.
“Twitter definitely played a pivotal role in building Donald Trump as a political figure within Republican politics and he also greatly enjoyed it,” said Nunberg. “Remember he used to say: ‘I wanted to own a newspaper. This is great, it’s like a newspaper without the losses.’”
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., took to Twitter shortly after the platform banned @realDonaldTrump to note that it continues to allow Iran’s supreme leader “and numerous other dictatorial regimes” to use the platform, but cannot abide his father.
“Mao would be proud,” Trump Jr. scoffed.
In the end, @realDonaldTrump offered an in-the-moment peek into Trump’s state of mind over more than a decade, a period in which the “Apprentice” TV star transformed into the 45th American president.
Down the road, when historians look for a glimpse into Trump thoughts on the issues of his time -- anything from actress Kristen Stewart’s treatment of co-star Robert Pattinson to the president’s views on Russian meddling in the 2016 election — the first stop may inevitably be one of the many digital archives that have preserved the tweets of @realDonaldTrump.
With Trump, whatever the topic, there’s always a tweet for that.

Anna Seidel hat bei den Europameisterschaften im Shorttrack in Danzig den bisher größten Erfolg ihrer Karriere gefeiert und die Silbermedaille über 1500 Meter gewonnen. Die 22 Jahre alte Athletin aus Dresden musste sich im Finale am Samstag nur der niederländischen Olympiasiegerin Suzanne Schulting beugen. Bisher galten drei EM-Bronzemedaillen als größte Erfolge Anna Seidels. 2020 hatte sie sich den dritten Platz in Debrecen auf ihrer Spezialstrecke über 1500 Meter erobert, dazu stand sie 2016 und 2018 jeweils über 1000 Meter auf dem Podium.
In Danzig hat Seidel nun ihre blendende Form unterstrichen. Im Halbfinale hatte sie mit der besten Zeit ihren Lauf gewonnen. Über 500 Meter hatte sie Pech, dass sie um sieben Hundertstelsekunden das Halbfinale verpasste. Siegerin auf dieser Distanz wurde erneut Suzanne Schulting, die damit große Favoritin auf den Gewinn des Mehrkampf-Titels ist. Die 1000 Meter, bei denen Anna Seidel im Viertelfinale steht, werden am Sonntag entschieden. Für die beste Platzierung der deutschen Männer sorgte am Samstag der Rostocker Adrian Lüdtke, der über 1500 Meter Vierter des B-Finals wurde und damit Platz elf auf dieser Strecke belegte.

THIS is the dramatic moment a horse somersaults through a fence before landing on his jockey in a shocking fall at Tramore.
These amazing photos capture 33-1 shot Tongie come crashing down in what one commentator called an 'X-rated' fall on New Year's Day.
The Peter Fahey-trained runner was leading four from home in the 2m 5f Tom Carroll Memorial Handicap Chase in Ireland.
But the soft going ultimately got the better of the 11-year-old as he approached the final flight in second place.
And Tongie - who last won at Gowran Park almost two years ago - went head-first over the fence.
He landed on his head as his hind legs flung up into the air behind him.
Jockey Richard Condon came crashing down too and the horse landed on top of him as he hit the deck.
Fortunately, both got to their feet and commentators confirmed they were OK after the flashpoint, with Condon even booked to ride on Saturday.
One fan watching at home tweeted their shock at the fall.
They said: "Tongie and Richard up, that looked awful!"
The race was eventually won by 14-1 chance Whoyakodding, who got up ahead of 25-1 shot Turndownthevolume.
The contest as a whole was full of drama, with 6-1 Macho Mover also falling at the 12th of the 15 fences.
Three horses were also pulled up, including the even money favourite Presenting Point.
Meanwhile, Al Boum Photo warmed up for his bid at a third straight Cheltenham Gold Cup by winning earlier in the day.

UFC legend Chuck Liddell claims Khabib could be ‘WORRIED’ about Conor McGregor rematch as he breaks down fir

UFC legend Chuck Liddell believes Khabib is avoiding a rematch with Conor McGregor because he is 'worried' of losing.
The pair took their fierce rivalry inside the Octagon in 2018 where the Russian submitted the Notorious with a neck crank.
Khabib then defended his lightweight title on two more occasions before announcing his retirement in October with an undefeated 29-0 record.
McGregor has since attempted to goad Khabib into a rematch but the champ has refused to get drawn into negotiations.
And Liddell, a former light-heavyweight champion, believes the fear factor could be holding Khabib back.
He told LowKickMMA: "In the last fight, I think he [McGregor] did what he needed to do to have a shot at beating Khabib.
"The problem was he was tired by the third round and he had nothing left behind his punches.
"He got Khabib a little tired and he had a chance to throw and he just had nothing left to knock him out.
"So, if he can make it through those first two rounds and still have that snap he's got, he can take a shot at him.
"It doesn't seem like Khabib wants to give him a shot... and that doesn't make sense unless Khabib is worried about getting beat.
"Maybe Khabib is worried about Conor getting better and beating him, I don't know."
McGregor, who has retired three times in total, steps back into the arena against Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 on January 23.
And UFC president Dana White confirmed he will try to lure Khabib out of retirement to fight McGregor if he beats Poirier.
On Shout! Podcast, White said: "When I fly out there, Khabib’s going to be there, too.
"So I’m going to meet with Khabib while I’m there.
"In a perfect world, if Conor wins this fight, I would love to see the rematch with him and Khabib. It’s the fight that makes sense."

WWE had to black out the screen after Charlotte Flair suffered an embarrassing nip slip.
The 34-year-old came up against Nia Jax during this week's episode of Monday Night RAW.
But Flair suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction during her final fight of the year.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed that her nipple could be seen above her skimpy gold bra.
WWE bosses were forced to step in and had to black out the screen several times.
While some wrestling fans knew what was happening, others were left in the dark.
One said: "My screen went black for a second in the Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax? Did somebody have a wardrobe malfunction or something?"
Another said: "On RAW tonight, Charlotte Flair had a wardrobe malfunction after taking a power bomb by Nia Jax.
"And we actually see her nipple pop out again after dealing with Sayna Baszler."
Flair - who went on to beat Jax - is back in action after six months away from wrestling.
The 34-year-old had to take some time out after undergoing surgery on her breast implants.
She made history as she made her comeback during a TLC match earlier this month.
And Flair marked her return with a win as she claimed the Women's Tag Team titles.

Missing air travel? You can buy a plane window for your house with birds eye views of the sky

FREQUENT fliers missing travelling abroad can pretend they are still on holiday - by buying a plane window for your house.
Launched by Sky Scape, the 22-inch high-res display screen lets you sit at home while enjoying a view of the sky.
It was co-developed by Japanese companies Joled, who create organic LED (OLED) systems and Landskip, who create digital displays.
There’s a new pandemic-era gadget for those who can’t wait to gaze outside an airplane window again: Sky Scape.
The "window" produces images you would expect from a plane taking off and landing, although skips the airport and runway views.
Instead, views of the sky are displayed to off relaxing scenes of sunrise and sunset through the clouds.
The majority of requests for the fake plane window have come from co-working spaces, according to the developers, but people can get one for their own homes.
You can enjoy it yourself through a subscription rental service with no prices currently revealed, although say it will cost less than 30,000 yen (£214), the price of their larger display services often seen at hospitals and hotels.
Kazuki Shimomura, LandSkip’s chief executive officer said: "I’ve found that it really helps with concentration.
"Time passes in a very productive way."
If you fancy a change from the plane view, the two companies have also created the Terra Bonsai instead - a rectangle-shaped window which displays a bonsai tree and flowers.
An aviation-enthusiast dad was given free first class flights after he bought his own plane seats for his living room.
We've revealed the answers to some common flight questions, including why the window shades have to be up during take off.
The largest plane window measures 4.5 feet by 1.5 foot, which was rolled out on flights in 2018.

From driving to needing an EU visa — all you need to know about travel after Brexit

BORIS JOHNSON’S last-minute Brexit deal has saved our holidays from the chaos a no-deal break with Europe would have unleashed.
The agreement, which came into effect yesterday, changes the rules on everything from driving on the Continent to duty-free shopping and passport controls.
The good news is that holidaymakers visiting the EU can now pick up duty-free booze and cigarettes on the way out of the UK. But holidays to our favourite destinations now cost more and involve a lot more red tape. Pets need certificates, even for some travel within the UK, while cars require paperwork and passengers must have insurance.
Next year, holidaymakers will also need to fork out for an EU visa that is similar to America’s ESTA visa system.
Jacob Lewis has answers to your burning travel questions thrown up by the new Brexit rules . . .
From next year you will have to pay £6.35 for a new Etias visa waiver to enter Europe on holiday. Travellers can apply online for the permit, which will last up to three years or until your passport expires. The waiver, which the UK helped create before voting to leave the bloc, will require information such as your age, any past criminal convictions, and the name of the hotel or address at which you plan to stay during your visit.
The sun has set on the dream of a sunny retirement in the South of France or Spain. Those with a holiday home in Europe can now only visit for up to 90 days in any 180-day period and the same goes for all holidaymakers.
Maybe. If you have less than six months left on your passport, you will no longer be able to enter EU countries. Check the date before you travel. The six-month rule does not apply for trips to Ireland.
You will not be able to join the fast-track EU passport line. You may also need to show proof of a return flight or return ticket, along with proof that you have enough money to support yourself on your trip.
Yes. This will probably be the largest Brexit-holiday cost. European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) will be valid until expiry and cover you for all state-provided medical treatment if you fall ill or have an accident. The Government says it will issue a new card, called the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) which will cover some emergencies and illnesses but there is no news on when these will arrive. Either way, from now on, the Government advises all travellers to be fully insured before they travel to Europe. And because we will no longer have access to EHIC, the cost of travel insurance will be higher than before.
Maybe. You are no longer protected from carrier roaming charges, so mobile phone companies can start to charge customers more if they wish. Before Brexit, consumers were also covered against roaming in countries in the wider European Economic Area, such as Norway, but this protection will also end.
Pets can no longer travel freely within the UK or to EU countries. You will need an animal health certificate to travel to the EU, as pet passports are no longer valid. Your pet will also no longer be able to travel to Northern Ireland without the same certificate, due to the new border in the Irish Sea.
Travellers can buy booze and cigarettes duty-free on their way out of the UK when visiting Europe but Brexit has spelt the end of the unlimited booze cruise. You will no longer be able to buy unlimited alcohol from the EU for personal consumption and will be restricted to 42 litres of beer, 18 litres of wine and four litres of spirits or liquors over 22 per cent in alcohol. Tobacco will be limited to 200 cigarettes.
Yes. But you will need to apply for a green card from your insurer — these can take up to six weeks to process — and pack your driving licence and log book (V5C).

Plan your visit to Venice with our city-stay Q&A to this slowly sinking city

GOING, going . . . gondola! This slowly sinking city won’t be around for ever, so plan your trip for later this year and experience one of Europe’s true cultural and architectural gems.
The perfect weekend away for foodies and romantics alike, Venice is the subject of this week’s City Stay Q&A . . .
WHY SHOULD I GO? Whether you’re keen to get snaps for your socials, taste authentic Italian cuisine or escape on a romantic getaway, this really is the city that has it all. Fewer tourists this year should allow for a truly Venetian experience, without thousands of people photobombing each selfie.
ARE THESE STREETS MADE FOR WALKING? Absolutely. Once you’ve made the taxi or bus journey from the airport to the islands of Venice, cars are no more.
This city is mapped out by narrow streets and a complex labyrinth of canals, so it’s easy to lose your bearings. It’s good to use Google Maps if you’ve got somewhere to be, but don’t be afraid of venturing out on foot and getting totally lost, as this is when you’ll find the most amazing bookshop, cafe, gelato shop, bar or photo opportunity.
With the Grand Canal running through the middle of the city, there are four main bridges to cross on foot. If you’re in a hurry, it’s much easier to jump on a ferry or taxi, depending on how much you’re willing to spend (ferry is about £2 and a taxi about £6.50).
If you want to head to the islands of Murano and Burano, known for their glass- blowing factory and colourful houses respectively, you can spend £6.36 (seven euros) for a one-way ferry ticket, or splash out on a taxi. If you’re spending more than a few days in Venice, this is highly recommended as a day out. The journey to Murano is about half an hour, and Burano another half hour on top.
ANYTHING FOR THE BUCKET LIST? It’s worth the queue to get up on to any high building — such as St Mark’s Campanile, the bell tower of St Mark’s Basilica — for a panoramic view. If you want to splash out, authentic gondola rides are set at a standard rate of £72.70 (80 euros) for a private tour of 25 to 30 minutes. You may be able to haggle the price down to £54.52 (60 euros) for two of you, and it really is the best way to see the city at water level.
A departure from the east side of Rialto Bridge takes you past the former homes of Cassanova and 13th-century explorer Marco Polo, filming location of the Italian Job, and down the only canal in Venice with a view of St Mark’s Campanile.
WHERE SHOULD I EAT? Paradiso Perduto is highly recommended by my Italian friends, and for good reason. With a fantastic atmosphere, cheap wine (12 euros for a litre!) and incredible seafood, it’s not to be missed. There are only a few tables outside by the canal, but it’s lively inside, with great decor.
The whole menu is in Italian, so if you’re not feeling confident, just go for the seafood antipasti platter (18 euros) at the top of the menu for a delicious plateful of frutti di mare.
There’s incredible pizza and pasta all over. The best pizza I had was at Leon Coronato in Burano — try the artichoke — and Osteria Nono Risorto for spaghetti vongole and sgroppino.
I FANCY A DRINK . . . With Aperol Spritz consumed from about 9am in Venice, this really is the thing to be drinking. But be careful where you go, as prices vary from £2.73 to £16.36 (three-18 euros) depending on location. In the most touristic areas, around San Marco Square, you’ll be charged extortionate rates (but you do get free snacks to nibble on as well), so it’s up to you whether being surrounded by the city’s most famous buildings is worth the price.
If you want a lively atmosphere, head to the bars surrounding the marketplace near Rialto Bridge. Or if a relaxed glass of delicious wine is more your thing, head to Vino Vero (on the same street as Paradiso Perduto) for a cool atmosphere and a wide choice of good-value wine.
WHERE SHOULD I STAY? Venice is a small city and most places are within walking distance, so don’t worry too much about location. At this time of year and with the lockdown affecting the tourism industry, you can get a room in a 4H hotel for around £100 a night. I recommend Hotel Giorgione, which has a lovely jacuzzi pool, breakfast included and a free one-way taxi to Murano with entrance to the glass-blowing factory.

CHINA made a "big bet" with its vaccine rollout, but that appears to have paid off with a lucrative return as it strikes major export deals around-the-world.

CHINA made a "big bet" with its vaccine rollout, but that appears to have paid off with a lucrative return as it strikes major export deals around-the-world.
Xi Jinping’s nation has come under fire on the international stage, not least for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, but also its aggression in the South China Sea and the introduction of a new security law in Hong Kong. US President-elect Joe Biden has promised a tough approach to China after his inauguration tomorrow, and he will be hoping other western nations follow suit. But that attempt appeared to be thwarted earlier this year when the EU agreed on terms for an investment deal with Beijing.
And now political risk consultancy Eurasia Group has tipped China to turn the tide on the pandemic by making closer global ties in their assessment of the ‘Top Risks of 2021’.
The report reads: “Unlike the Trump administration, which pursued a tougher China policy unilaterally, Biden will enlist and coordinate with allies in this area, seeking a multilateral front against specific Chinese economic and security policies.
“The European Union, Japan, and India will be key targets of US outreach.
“Following the China-EU investment agreement, the new administration will have some suspicion of China.
“In turn, that will create deeper fissures between Beijing and these US allies. But creating a broad united front on China will not happen easily.”
As the global race to produce a vaccine continues, China appears to have made huge strides with two front-running companies – Sinovac and Sinopharm – already striking deals abroad.
The former created CoronaVac, an inactivated vaccine which works by using killed viral particles to expose the body's immune system to the virus without risking a serious disease response.
By comparison, the Moderna and Pfizer jabs are mRNA vaccines – meaning part of the virus’ genetic code is injected into the body, triggering it to begin making viral proteins – which train the immune system to attack.
And Eurasia Group sees this as a major pressure point.

They add in the report: “Beijing will lash out at countries closely coordinating with Washington, as it did against Australia last year.
“In other cases, Beijing will offer its own economic incentives to push back against efforts at encirclement.
“That will create a battle of diplomacy that will serve as an additional irritant to US-China relations.
“Meanwhile, the US and China will both try to increase their influence by providing vaccines to other countries.”
On paper, one of Sinovac's main advantages is that it can be stored in a standard refrigerator between 2C-8C, like the Oxford vaccine.
Moderna's vaccine needs to be stored at -20C and Pfizer's vaccine at -70C.

It means that both Sinovac and the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines are a lot more useful to developing countries which might not be able to store large amounts at such low temperatures.
But as the US approaches 400,000 coronavirus deaths and Prime Minister Boris Johnson focuses on vaccinated Britons, China has been able to make new allies by containing the virus.
The document adds: “China is poised to outperform the US.
“Having largely contained the pandemic within the country’s borders, China’s powerful state apparatus will be able to export vaccines more easily.
“And unlike the best vaccines available in the US, current Chinese vaccines can be safely moved at a relatively warm temperature, making them attractive to low-and-middle-income countries that lack cold chain infrastructure.
“These advantages will enable China to make good on the big bet it placed on vaccine diplomacy.”
The two leading Chinese manufacturers have signed deals with more than a dozen countries including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, the Philippines, Indonesia and Hungary.
China has made bold promises that, by playing a leading role in the global immunisation drive, its vaccines will deliver closer ties for the future.
And the forecast in the report appears to agree.
It continues: “Beijing has signed export deals for its vaccines and agreements to produce them in key emerging markets, allowing it to deepen friendships in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa.
“And these efforts come at a time when ‘wolf warriors,’ or hardliners, are ascendant in making Chinese foreign policy.
“The result will be hubris on Beijing’s part, albeit with rewards for those in the Global South eager to be vaccinated."

The Serpent – How serial killer Charles Sobhraj’s life of crime was more horrific and bizarre than anything on

THE SERPENT killer in Jenna Coleman's new TV drama will leave viewers trembling in their seats - but the true story of the notorious French-Vietnamese murderer is even more harrowing.
Charles Sobhraj's killing spree of up to 24 people - mainly bikini-clad backpackers - is the focus of a new TV series, starting on BBC1 tonight.
Over eight episodes, viewers will learn of his deadly charm - and habit of making outrageous claims to dupe the authorities.
But police have not dismissed his most incredible boasts — because, as a proven serial killer they know he is capable of anything.
Although Sobhraj’s crimes reached a deadly peak in the 1970s, it was just the tip of an iceberg that saw him rob, swindle, drug and seduce his way around the world, all in a desperate search for danger. He once admitted: “When it gets hot, I go to the kitchen.”
Yet whenever things reached boiling point Sobhraj, now 76, slithered away from authorities so much he was branded The Serpent, a nickname used as the title for the BBC1 drama, which chronicles his worst offences.
Rahim, 39, stars as the killer while Billy Howle, 31, plays Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg, who eventually helped jail him.
Marie-Andrée Leclerc, the tragic French-Canadian who he brainwashed into helping him, is portrayed by 34-year-old Jenna, who has described her character as "deluded".
Between 1975 and 1976, Sobhraj and Leclerc carried out a string of murders — mostly tourists who refused to take part in their scams — in Nepal, India and Thailand.
Sobhraj’s unscrupulousness saw Leclerc jailed before she returned to Canada to die of cancer in 1984, aged just 38. Yet Sobhraj felt little guilt.
He once glibly remarked on his gift for coercing women: “If you use it to make people do wrong it’s an abuse. However, if you use that power to make people do right, it’s OK. Who’s to say what’s right and wrong?”
The Serpent’s sick morality has been traced back to when his father, Indian tailor Hatchand Sobhraj, abandoned him as a child in Vietnam.
Knippenberg believed being shunned by his father was the root of Sobhraj’s rebelliousness, and why he felt the need to kill anyone who didn’t help him.He said: “In resisting Sobhraj’s overtures, they triggered his childhood preoccupation with being rejected.”
After his father left, Sobhraj’s mother Tran Loan Phung, a shop assistant, married a French soldier and moved the family from Saigon to Paris. Once in the French capital, Sobhraj stole cars, carried out muggings and robbed housewives at gunpoint.
He was in and out of young offenders’ institutions and prisons. But France was also where he met his first “love”, young Parisian Chantal Compagnon, who, like Marie, he made complicit in his offending.
From 1970 onwards the newly-married couple went on a long crime spree across Europe and the middle East. Sobhraj used any means necessary to stay ahead of the law — once swapping his identity with his younger brother when he got into trouble in Greece.
Their luck ran out in Afghanistan, where he and Chantal were jailed. After their daughter Usha was born behind bars, Chantal was allowed to send her back to Paris, hoping she would escape her evil father
But after drugging a guard and escaping jail — leaving Chantal behind — Sobharj went back to France to kidnap his own child.
When Chantal eventually got out and won back custody, she took Usha to the US to ensure he could never taint either of their lives again.
Furious Sobhraj moved further east to carry out even greater crimes. He became an outlaw in India after he held a flamenco dancer hostage in a New Delhi hotel for three days as he used her room to drill down into a gem store below.
He was caught by police after stealing thousands of pounds worth of jewellery but feigned appendicitis and escaped from a hospital.
It was in India that he first met Marie. He instantly set about seducing the 30-year-old French Canadian.
She later wrote: “I swore to myself to try to make him love me, but little by little I became his slave."
Together they targeted tourists on the hippy trail around south east Asia because they carried cash and their disappearence would cause little or no suspicion.
One of their first victims was Teresa Knowlton, a 21-year-old American drowned in October 1975 by Sobhraj and his henchman Ajay Chowdhury. They incapacitated her by spiking her drink with drugs.
After her body was found floating in the sea days later, Marie willingly posed as the dead woman to cash in the thousands of dollars worth of travellers cheques their victim was carrying.
Their next victims were students Henk Bintanja, 29, and his fiancée Cornelia Hemker, 25. After the Dutch couple refused to help with one of Sobharj’s scams, they were strangled, bludgeoned and burned alive.
It was these murders which put Knippenberg, of the Dutch Embassy in Thailand, on Sobharj’s trail. The diplomat would not catch up with him until the murderer had gone on to kill around 20 more people in the region, usually through poisoning.
But Sobharj’s arrogance was his downfall. In July 1976 he wanted to start a new life in South America so decided to drug a group of 60 French students on holiday in New Delhi, India, with the aim of stealing their passports and cash.
The plan was to give them sleeping pills disguised as antibiotics in the hostel dining room. But instead of going to their bedrooms and passing out, they had a severe reaction.
In The Life And Crimes Of Charles Sobhraj, authors Richard Neville and Julie Clarke write: “He had severely misjudged the dosage. Charles looked on at the chaos in the foyer. Twenty students were laid out on the floor or the furniture, moaning, vomiting or unconscious. He couldn’t stop smiling to himself.”
The smile was only briefly wiped off his face when the police were called and Sobhraj was arrested, questioned and jailed.
Despite being given a 12-year jail term — for the murder of Frenchman Jean-Luc Solomon in India — he lived a life of luxury thanks to using his fortune to bribe fellow prisoners and staff.
He also became a sick celebrity, with author Neville and others travelling to interview him about his crimes — admissions which he would later completely deny.
Sobhraj claimed to Richard his high profile also enabled him to enjoy a sex life behind bars.
He said: “I had a lot of female visitors, mainly journalists and MA students. Only intellectuals.”
Among the visitors he seduced were his lawyer Sneh Senger, and he became engaged to two others, including a fellow inmate
His notoriety only intensified in 1986 when he was threatened with being deported to Thailand to face justice for his many other murders.
Fearing the death penalty, he threw a party in jail, then drugged the guards before walking out of his cell. That saw him recaptured and put back inside for another ten years.
But it was a deliberate move, because by the time he was released from prison in 1997, the 20-year arrest warrant issued by the Thai authorities had elapsed — so he returned to Paris and tried to cash in on his fame. Unfortunately, Sobhraj was now just an ageing ex-con whose appeal had faded.
So in 2004 he took the bizarre decision to travel to Nepal, where he was arrested and jailed for the murders of Canadian Laurent Carrière, 26, and American Connie Bronzich, 29, in December 1975. Much of the evidence had been supplied by Knippenberg almost two decades earlier
Once inside prison again, his fame rose and he married 24-year-old Nihita Biswas, the daughter of his Nepali lawyer who had also shot to fame on reality TV show Bigg Boss — India’s equivalent of Big Brother.
Richard Neville visited him again and claims Sobharj initially told him: “I came here to make a TV documentary on local handicrafts and to see if I can do some humanitarian work.” But later he told the author he had been involved in criminal activities including acting as a go-between for the Chinese triads and the Taliban to trade arms and heroin
He even claimed to have been helping the Iraqi regime find chemicals to create nuclear weapons — and had tried to sell the story to future UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, then editor of The Spectator. Mr Johnson said he “clearly remembers making a clear decision not to proceed.
It was a wise move, because Sobhraj will never confess which of his claims are true
As the murderer languishes in a prison cell, he knows the mystery still fuels the legend of The Serpent.

Indy gamingAs if the news about Lucasfilm Games wasn’t good enough less than 24 hours later we get a new Indiana Jones game announced. Now that’s service! I was a little down at the original announcement to be honest, as it seemed like a minor thing just to hype up their Star Wars games. Nothing wrong with that but, as GC pointed out, Lucasfilm/Arts used to be much more than that.
I’m very glad to see that Indy is getting a new game but I do hope it’s something more than just a Tomb Raider/Uncharted clone. Obviously both games were heavily influenced by the films but an official Indiana Jones game should be more than just a clone of things that were copying it in the first place. I know there’s no chance of it being a graphic adventure but I hope it’s got plenty of non-action parts and puzzling too.
As for what happens in the future the opportunities seem endless. There’s an infinite number of Star Wars games you could make, even before The Mandalorian blew everything up, and I agree that this means we’re probably going to be seeing a lot more in the future.
But I also hope we see other sequels or brand new IP too. Lucasfilm made lots of really innovative games and I’d love to see a modern equivalent to the graphic adventure as well as direct sequels/reboots.
It’s really great news to me and I’ve been thinking all day about what games I’d like to return. But what counts as the best Lucasfilm game? For me it comes down to Monkey Island 2 and Day Of The Tentacle, two true classics with great jokes and dialogue from a time when most games didn’t even have a proper plot.Stroops
OG Tomb RaiderSo I’ve just seen the announcement about the new Indiana Jones game from Bethesda and I’m excited for a number of reasons. 1. I absolutely love the genre 2. I absolutely love Indiana Jones and 3. It looks like it might be another Day 1 gamepass game (potentially).
Most commentary seems to be from fearful PlayStation owners that it might be an Xbox exclusive and I kind of hope it is. Despite already announcing quite a lot of games for the future Xbox is still lumbered with the ‘no game’ schtick. This would be a Spider-Man level exclusive and though it might be fairly far out, it’s still another exciting announcement nonetheless. But I’m guessing we will have to wait and see what happens in regards to exclusivity, though the choice of MachineGames as the developer is inspired, could they potentially pull a Guerrilla Games?
The other chatter I saw online regarding the game was that it would just be a ‘reskinned Uncharted’. I don’t really know how people dare say that when the Indiana Jones IP has been around for ever, three decades longer, and it’s had multiple games that pre-date Uncharted like Indiana Jones And The Emperor’s Tomb on the OG Xbox and PlayStation 2. I’m shocked people would dare say that with a straight face when Tomb Raider pre-dates Uncharted by over a decade.
Happy 2021 to all the staff at GC, I hope everyone is staying sane during lockdown 3.Jay (graffitiheart89 – gamertag/PSN ID)
GC: They haven’t said what genre it is yet.
Safe handsRE: Bethesda/Todd Howard and MachineGames making an Indiana Jones game. Xbox has long since needed an alternative to Uncharted, could this be the answer? That doesn’t make much sense when you consider Tomb Raider/Uncharted all derive from Indiana Jones, but Indy potentially being exclusive to Xbox could be a big deal. A huge deal.
I’m more hyped by the fact MachineGames are developing the game.Anon
E-mail your comments to: gamecentral@ukmetro.co.uk
Short and sweetHow anyone can say they’ve nothing to play is beyond me and I feel they must have the most narrow, nitpicky taste in games. I agree that triple-A games are not as plentiful as they once were due to longer, more costly development cycles, which is concerning but that’s a separate issue. Outside of triple-A there is more than enough quality games released. It seems to me the people who complain they’ve nothing to play are overly concerned with just playing the most hyped new releases, like reader Gosling yesterday.
And even though I agree we now see less triple-A games I don’t agree with Gosling that they are like gold dust. In the past few months I’ve picked up Immortals Fenyx Rising, Star Wars: Squadrons, Cyberpunk 2077 on PC and really looking forward to Hitman 3, especially as I have PlayStation VR. On that note when do you expect your Hitman review will be up and will you be trying it out on PlayStation VR for reviewing purposes?Simundo
GC: The fact that there are alternatives is the separate issue, not the ever-decreasing number of triple-A games. And the last few months were the Christmas rush, so hardly a typical example. This is part of why we were so enamoured by Spider-Man: Miles Morales: a much shorter but better paced game than normal triple-A titles, that could be made in a shorter span of time. We’d love to see other games follow in its stead, as opposed to more bloated 60+ hour games that would’ve been much better at a third the length.
Second dipMy only Wii U double dip on Switch so far has been Mario Kart 8 (unless you count Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which could be considered as v1.5 of the Wii U games, I suppose) but I’d already decided I was probably going to get Super Mario 3D World again, as it’s a great game.
I watched the Bowser’s Fury trailer and I’m still not entirely sure what it is, but it certainly looked nice so I’m definitely in. The main game possibly has my favourite end game Bowser battle ever.John
Good MarioI pre-ordered Super Mario 3D World months ago, not realising it wasn’t out until February the 12th but I have to say after seeing the new trailer I’m very much looking forward to it. I did play it on the Wii U but it’s such a good game I don’t begrudge paying to play it again. I love me some Mario goodness.MitchellPS: Are you reviewing Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood for PlayStation 4? The last time I looked it wasn’t up on the GC release schedule.
GC: It’s on there, for February 4 – although we’re a little suspicious of whether it’ll make that date.
Last gen miracleWow! Played my first session on The Last Of Us Part 2 last night, the graphics are stunning! The facial animation and the environments are just astounding, with some absolutely beautiful detail on display. It’s a bit early to judge anything about the story or gameplay but if they have even half the level of craft of the graphics then this game is going to be something very special.
To think that the game can even run on my base PlayStation 4 is mind bogglingly, it’s nice to know there’s life in the old machine yet. The PlayStation 4 was the first non-Nintendo machine I’ve ever owned and it’s been a pleasure having it. I recently ended up counting the number of PlayStation 4 games I’d played and was shocked to find it was 66 games finished with 10 more ready to play. That’s easily the most games I’ve ever had on one console!
Here’s hoping when I eventually get a PlayStation 5 it can live up to its predecessor’s legacy. If nothing else I can’t wait to see what Naughty Dog’s next game will look like!Ryan O’D
Above Medium interestHappy New Year to you all and all the readers.
I have an Xbox Series X on the way and managed to get it via Xbox All Access so have Game Pass with it for two years, which is a great way to buy it.
I must say that I’m really liking the look of The Medium and good to know it’s going to be on Game Pass.
Any idea when the review will be up?Steve
GC: Not yet, but we’re definitely looking forward to it.
Japan Studios’ Knights Of The Old Republic 3I have to say that I share other readers’ pessimism about the future of BioWare. No matter how they try to dress it up all those people leaving the company at the end of last year was not a good sign, especially as one of them was the main Mass Effect guy.
The excitement around Mass Effect 4 was mostly that the old school veterans were coming back to sort things out. The problem with Andromeda was that it was an inexperienced team and if that’s what we’re back to… I fear the worst.Dragon Age 4 is hopefully not in quite as bad a place but even so I’ll be shocked if it turns out to be a great game. I hope it is but… the signs are not good at all.
Funny that that other reader would write in and say that Bethesda and Obsidian can’t do Knights Of The Old Republic 3 now that Microsoft owns them and then the next day we get Bethesda doing an Indiana Jones game. Was Inbox magic involved in that at all? I’d say a Sony studio should do the new Knights Of the Republic but they haven’t really got anyone that does role-playing games.Ranx
Inbox also-ransSo Microsoft now have a potential exclusive Indiana Jones game? Will this be the second time that they’ve tried to buy themselves an Uncharted equivalent, after Rise Of The Tomb Raider was a timed exclusive? I don’t know why they’re obsessed by the idea, seeing as Sony doesn’t seem to have any plans for a new Uncharted.Korbie
Those PlayStation 5 release dates are actually pretty encouraging – a lot of interesting looking stuff coming out relatively soon.Stew
This week’s Hot TopicThe subject for this weekend’s Inbox was suggested by reader Cranston and asks what’s your most replayed single-player game of all time?
Not counting multiplayer-focused games without an end, what game have you come back to again and again and why? Is it the gameplay, the story, or because of some special meaning the game has in your life?
Do you replay the game on the format it was originally released on or is part of the reason you’ve replayed it so much the fact that it keeps getting updated and re-released? What could make you stop replaying the game and do you think you ever will?

Meet the cast of ‘winter Love Island’ dating show The Cabins with a bin man, beauty queen, and lesbian lin

BILLED as "winter Love Island", the launch of ITV2's new dating show The Cabins is just around the corner - and the cast has finally been revealed.
A bin man, beauty queen, and a lesbian lingerie model are among the hopefuls looking for love in the first ever series of the new reality show.
The Cabins gives contestants just 24 hours to find love, with prospective couples moving into a cosy lodge together and being given the choice to stay a pair or "check out" of their cabin after a day.
The show - which has already been recorded - was able to go ahead after ITV put strict health and safety coronavirus protocols in place.
This included contestants isolating at a hotel while awaiting their Covid test results and any pre-show filming carried out with minimal crew, who all wore face masks and were regularly temperature checked throughout production.
Reality TV junkies didn't get their usual Love Island fix this summer due to the ongoing pandemic, but hopefully these 12 sexy singletons will be exactly what we need to get the New Year off to a sizzling start…
First up is 21-year-old architecture student Abraham, who is hoping to find a "girlfriend and a best friend" on the series.
The hunk admitted to having a bit of a crush on Love Island alumni Joanna Chimonides, and was chuffed to bits when she posted a TikTok video that he made to her Instagram page.
Abraham is also the musical sort and teased that he will be bringing his guitar into the cabin with him - which means the lucky lady he's paired up with will no doubt be privy to a serenade or two.
Holly, 23, has an impressive list of occupations to her name - including cabin crew, a make-up artist, and even an influencer; with her popular social media page meaning that she's caught the eye of the occasional celeb who has slid into her DMs.
Unfortunately for us, the beauty remained tight-lipped over who the mystery stars were, instead insisting that she's not interested in a famous beau.
She said: "It's not the sort of person I want to be involved with, I want to be with someone who works on a building site down the road that no one knows about. It's just less hassle."
Holly also adamantly ruled out joining the Mile High Club, and said that she signed up to The Cabins because her love life is "an absolute shambles".
Meanwhile, 23-year-old footballer Mamudo signed up because he hopes to meet the love of his life in a "more natural way".
And while a reality show may not seem like the most natural choice for many, the sportsman explained: "You talk for 24 hours and get as much info as you can, it's ideal in that sense.
"[You] build up a connection, without people being around, without the distractions you face on the outside world."
And If there are any awkward silences in his cabin, Mamudo will be able to fill them in a multitude of languages, with the hunk able to speak Portuguese, French, Spanish, and Creole in addition to English - impressive!
Footballer Mamudo could be the perfect match for 26-year-old footie fanatic Robyn - but only if he supports Chelsea.
The sales executive admitted that she's had to dump Man U fans in the past because they clash over their rivalry.
She explained: "You'd think it would be good to have that banter and rivalry, but if they're die hard fans and they get really passionate about it - and I'm passionate - then we just clash."
Robyn also said that she's single because she's not found a man "worth settling down for" yet, could The Cabins change this?
Jess, 24, recently swapped working at Walt Disney World for a bingo hall - and that's no doubt not the only crazy tale that she has up her sleeve.
With previous dates involving karaoke and adventures around Disney, Jess is pretty much up for anything - apart from discussing marriage on the first date.
The fun-loving Welsh native also has a bevy of celebrity crushes, including Tom Holland, Niall Horan, Ben Shephard, and Dermot O'Leary.
The Cabins will also feature a same-sex couple, with 26-year-old model and Murder Mystery actress Sarah making up one half of the pair.
Speaking about her sexuality, the tattooed beauty shared: "I've dated men, but not a lot. Primarily I'm women, but if I fall for a guy I'll give them a chance. I do classify myself as a lesbian."
Cheeky Sarah also revealed that she got seven names tattooed onto her bum when she was 18, which she has since got covered up.
Sarah is also not afraid to strip off, with her Instagram full of snaps from her lingerie and fitness photoshoots.
Tom, 26, is no stranger to grand gestures, admitting that he used to fly to Ireland every single week for seven months to see his ex girlfriend during their long-distance relationship.
The business development manager also got an entirely new job so that he could work with a girl, and revealed that he is all about long-term relationships.
He explained: "I've had four or five relationships, the first one lasted four years, we had a house and everything.
"After that, every year I had a relationship that lasted 10 months to a year but something would pop up and we'd end up parting ways."
Whoever ends up partnered with international beauty queen Sofia will struggle to be her hottest date ever - with the 21-year-old tattoo apprentice literally setting herself on fire during one date.
She shared: "There was a candelabra on the table. I dropped a spoon, so I leant down, I came back up and I'd set part of my sleeve an hair on fire.
"Instead of my date being like: 'Oh my gosh, you're on fire', he just looked at me. I smelt the burning and was like: 'Is something on fire?' and then realised it was me."
Sofia won Miss Diamond UK in 2019, before landing the crown for Miss Regency International, and she has a thing for scraggly-haired cheeky chappies with her celeb crushes Russell Brand and Robert Sheehan.
Will, 28, is ready to put his "bad boy" ways behind him and "settle down".
Working for a family run electrical company, the hunk compared himself to Mark Wright as he admitted that he wouldn't say no to his own Michelle Keegan - who he called "the hottest girl in the world".
He also has a crush on Margot Robbie in The Wolf Of Wall Street, and insisted that he is a "down to earth family man" when he isn't partying with pals.
Will's party boy persona could be a perfect match for 22-year-old Olivia, who describes herself as a "really chaotic wild child".
The customer service agent has been single for 10 months and is looking for someone "bubbly and outgoing" but with a tinge of romance.
The beauty's celeb crush is Callum Izzard from Ibiza Weekender, which just about sums up her fun-loving personality.
Meanwhile, Bin man Joel is looking for someone who doesn't live in his home town of Swansea - and a girl who isn't glued to her phone.
The 22-year-old is also after someone active, with Love Island's Lucie Donlan one of his celeb crushes due to the fact that she surfs.
Joel has never had a long-term girlfriend and is "dying" to embrace cabin life with a potential match.
Charlotte, 29, will hopefully get along well with Sarah - with the coffee company operations manager admitting that she only started dating women 18 months ago.
She explained: "I feel like I'm still learning my type.
"I definitely like the more alternative girls. Tattoos, piercings… and more tomboy than really girly."
And Charlotte will have a hard time having a worst date on The Cabins than she already has in real life, with one girl ending up concussed when she fell out of bed, and another smashing her own house window when she thought she lost her key - d'oh.

But that’s just the beginning with a host of explosive storylines coming up.
With Mick’s marriage hanging in the balance, the return of his son Lee could help him deal with the truth.
And his daughter Frankie will make a return now Mick knows she is his daughter.

But darkness simmers under the surface of Albert Square as Gray covers up another murder.
As the truth is left undiscovered by any living soul in Walford for now - will he get his comeuppance before he strikes again?
Executive producer Jon Sen teased: “One of the big moments of last year was the death of Chantelle and everybody's asking the question of when Gray will receive his comeuppance.
“The soap gods never forgive something like that and we need to see Gray pay, but I'm going to keep when that’ll happen close to my chest but it’s something we’ve talked about a lot.
“Sharon isn’t about to let Ian off the hook that quickly, her poisonous plotting is just getting started and she wants to avenge Denny’s death once and for all.
“There's some brilliant stories coming up for Stacey and Ruby, there's obviously much more to play with Lucas’ story as the real aftermath of his re-emergence comes to bear on Denise' life.
“We've got the ongoing story of Callum and his duplicity in having gone undercover against Phil, all the while Ben is none-the-wiser and only falling deeper in love…

“After 15 years, we’re set to say goodbye to Max Branning and it’s safe to say he’ll go out in dramatic style.”

EMMERDALE’S youngsters are set to take centre stage in 2021 in a series of major storylines beginning with Sarah Sugden’s return to drugs.
The tearaway teen gets herself into a devastating situation with dealer Danny which splits the village and causes her mum Debbie to return.
Actress Katie Hill revealed: “The start of this year is going to be quite an eventful one for Sarah as a lot is going on that will affect her - and she’s left feeling lonely and unwanted.
“When Danny returns, she sees an opportunity to feel wanted and cared for by someone again.
“However, as we know, Danny has a dangerous past with drugs. Will Sarah get dragged down this path again?”
A new trailer has already revealed that Sarah’s drama draws in newcomer Ethan - the son of new Vicar Charles.
Actor Emile John who plays Ethan said: “Ethan’s arrival is far from quiet and he soon finds himself at the mercy of the Dingles.
“But that’s not all. We’ll soon find out more about Ethan and his past which could have huge consequences for others. I’ve loved playing Ethan so far and i can’t wait to see where the character is heading.”
Meanwhile, fresh from her humiliating year that saw her stalk and then fall in love with Leyla Harding, Gabby Thomas has decided to set her sights on Jamie Tate.
But could Kim Tate recognise something of herself in this cunning and clever girl?
Actress Rosie Bentham explains: “Gabby has had her fair share of trouble over the past year, but if she’s hoping 2021 is going to be a more settled year, she can think again.
“I’m excited that Gabby is at the heart of the village as she sets her sights on Home Farm and I can tell you this year is going to hold even more drama for Gabby than ever.”
Executive producer Jane Hudson added: “We are so lucky to have such a talented group of young actors who can deliver some of our biggest storylines.
“It's exciting to watch characters grow up and see how they develop and how their actions shape their futures.
“And there is plenty of action coming up which will take the young Emmerdale characters on journeys the audience won't be expecting.”

BGT’s George Sampson and Richard Jones ‘are signed up as judges on new Amazon talent show to rival Simon Cow

SIMON Cowell's empire will have a new challenger as former Britain Got Talent's stars join Amazon's new talent show.
Previous BGT winners Richard Jones and George Sampson will join X Factor champ Sam Bailey to host the talent show on Amazon's Prime Video.
The show will be called Now That’s Entertainment and will be fronted by Craig Stevens.
Now That's Entertainment will pose a huge threat to Simon's empire in the musical talent world.
“Amazon and the producers are hellbent on making this show a huge hit. BGT is a ratings giant so it’s little wonder they have raided their former stable for stars to be judges,” a source told Mirror Online.
“It was received so well they decided to up the ante and just go for it with some well-known talent and really push the boat out."
According to the source, the show has had a run already on Amazon Prime Video but without any big names attached to it.
“It was received so well they decided to up the ante and just go for it with some well-known talent and really push the boat out," the source added.
“Cowell will be nervously looking over his shoulder to see if they can make it a success but all the signs are there it can be.”
Former soldier Richard won BGT in 2016 with his impressive magic tricks, while dancer George won in 2008 at the age of 14.
Both recently appeared on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions.
Sam has had an illustrious career on stage since winning X Factor in 2013, and her single Xmas Number One heading straight to the top of the charts.
Simon might not be too concerned just yet about any rivals as he continues to recover from back surgery.
The music and TV mogul, 61, is ending a particularly tough year in the best possible way with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, son Eric and friends in the Caribbean.
The BGT boss looked tanned and in good shape as he lounged on a luxury yacht and went swimming in the sea.
In August, Simon was rushed to hospital to undergo six hours of surgery after falling off an electric bike and breaking his back in LA.
He narrowly avoided being paralysed and was forced to cancel all his planned TV work for the rest of the year.

HARLEQUIN, Viking, Bush Baby and Grandfather Clock will be among the fantastic suits hiding the identities of mystery stars on ITV’s The Masked Singer tomorrow.
Last weekend’s opening show saw singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, 41, unmasked as Alien.
Viewers could not believe that Sophie was on the show, but were then disappointed she left in week one.
The second series has only just returned but new panellist Mo Gilligan, 32, revealed he and Rita Ora, 30, have butted heads already.
Ahead of the latest episode, the funnyman said: “She came into my dressing room, she said ‘Oi listen bruv, I’m the one who’s always winning this Masked Singer, yeah? So don’t you be guessing’.
"I was like, 'Cool Rita, fantastic, I didn’t know you spoke like that’.”
Pop star Rita returned to the Celebrity Sleuth panel for the wacky series alongside presenter Davina McCall and comedian Jonathan "Wossy" Ross.
Mo replaced Ken Jeong on the panel for the new series.
The show airs at 7pm.

Victoria has recorded its 18th straight day without a local COVID-19 case as the state's residents enjoy greater freedom to gather indoors.
The zero cases recorded on Saturday - as well as one case in Victoria's hotel quarantine system - came from just under 12,000 tests.
Only 30 active coronavirus cases remain in the state.
It comes as more visitors are allowed in Victorian households, with the indoor gathering limit at homes doubled from Saturday from 15 to 30.
The smaller limit on home gatherings had been introduced on New Year's Eve as the state battled a cluster linked to a Black Rock Thai restaurant.
More Victorians stranded interstate will also be able to return home, thanks to a further easing of interstate border restrictions.
The Greater Sydney local government areas marked red zones in recent weeks have been downgraded to orange, with the exception of Cumberland.
People travelling to Victoria from an orange zone will need to apply for a permit, get tested for COVID-19 and isolate until they receive a negative result.
However they will not be barred entry.
Unrestricted travel into Victoria is also allowed from Greater Brisbane and regional NSW, with the exception of Wollongong and the Blue Mountains.
Meanwhile, Victoria will receive 1500 seasonal farm workers from the Pacific Islands, who will quarantine in Tasmania before travelling to the mainland.
Farmers say the new quarantine deal for harvest workers is a step in the right direction but won't fix the sector's labour shortages.

Coronation Street New Year spoilers: Abi Franklin in danger, Yasmeen destroyed and more explosive 2021 plots

CORONATION Street boss Iain Macleod has revealed eleven major storylines for 2021.
The executive producer has teased deadly consequences for Abi Franklin, Yasmeen Nazir’s financial ruination and a new love for Nina with hints it could be Asha Alahan.
Speaking to The Sun Online at a 2021 preview Zoom, Iain teased the explosive storylines happening in Weatherfield this year.
Abi’s determination to take down villain Ray Crosby will put her in serious danger, Iain revealed - and Debbie Webster will try to take him down.
"Ray's reign of terror, his sexual predation and his terrible, ruthless desire to knock down the Street is reaching fever pitch,” he said.
“In the 60th anniversary week, the residents won the battle but perhaps not the war.
“The war does rage on, with Ray very much in the middle of it. What we get to is a story where Ray becomes more and more desperate to get off the hook for what happened with Faye's sexual assault.
“He also becomes more desperate to get this building project over the line, because we discover he's got quite a lot riding on it. If it goes wrong, it could be curtains for him, very literally.
"That brings Ray into conflict with his old nemesis Abi. There's some fantastic stuff there where Abi takes Ray on and her life is in a fair amount of jeopardy."
Iain added that Debbie will take on Ray to save her family - and the cobbles.
He said: "That, in turn, draws in Kevin and Debbie – as they end up in Ray's crosshairs as well.
“There's a really brilliant power struggle between Debbie and Ray, which has twists and turns – with literal life-or-death jeopardy. It's all really exciting.
"I love the fact that this story started off with this guy who was on the periphery in the show. Ray just owned a hotel and worked with Michelle, but then we saw signs that he might be this Harvey Weinstein type of character.”
And Faye Windass’ shock confession to being behind Adam Barlow’s attack will see her killer brother Gary step up and become a hero for her.
Iain said: “The story focuses on this troubled young girl, who has been subjected to a terrible ordeal by Ray and finds herself in a really conflicted situation.
“She knows she has done something terrible and feels an enormous amount of guilt, but the people around her feel that she is the victim here.
“They set in chain a sequence of events where they try to protect her from the scales of justice and keep her away from the police and court.
"That brings in loads of different characters – most notably Gary. Gary pulls out all the stops and becomes the hero of the piece for his little sister, in a way that I think people will really enjoy. It's a really huge story for that little family.
"One wonders how Maria might feel about this, when Gary is in the middle of yet another drama.
“But this time he is fighting for the forces of good rather than evil, so what will that do to Maria's feelings for him? There's exciting relationship material for those two."
Fresh from the death of her abusive husband Geoff, viewers have seen Yasmeen suffer with visions of him - but in the real world she will discover the financial devastation he has left her in.
Iain “said: We were very keen to reflect the real world experiences that people like Yasmeen go through.
“Alya told her gran that it was over, but actually, it's not. The psychological impact of abusive relationships can last forever.
"There's also the practical side of what happened to Yasmeen. We know that Geoff was embezzling money from Yasmeen and taking out loans in her name, without her knowledge.
“A lot of that will come home to roost for Yasmeen, in a way that threatens to destabilise her recovery from what she's been through.
"So there'll be some light stuff for Yasmeen to play, but overall it's going to be a heartbreaking next chapter for her."
Meanwhile Peter Barlow’s decision to drink again will see him face death from liver failure - with love Carla Connor facing desperate action to save him.
Iain explained: "Peter is obviously a very self-destructive character and his self-destruction will be taken to new depths with this chapter of his addiction.
“Chris [Gascoyne, who plays Peter] is very keen to go full method actor and fully immerse himself in Peter's physical deterioration this time, so we're having discussions with doctors and nutritionists over how we can best represent Peter's fall from grace and make it as visually realistic and shocking as possible.
"We're really going to town with this. Peter has been told many times that his next drink could kill him, so we felt that this time, we had to make good on that to a degree.
“We had to go right to the end in terms of what would happen to Peter and his body if he kept drinking. We'll take that to as realistic a conclusion as we possibly can.
"It's heartbreaking and exciting, but at the bottom of it all is a love story between Peter and Carla. What they realise is they love each other and they deserve each other.
“There's fireworks whenever they're on screen together and we're going to see a lot of that over the next few months."
He added: “Peter will essentially decide on a course that you might describe as like a slow suicide.
“His loved ones will be horrified that Peter is giving up and is planning a slow slide to his grave. There's a real battle to save his life and convince him that he wants to live.
"It's hugely heart-rending and emotional, with massive scenes for Peter and Carla.
“Carla loves Peter so much, so she has to behave in a way that she knows will make Peter hate her, in the short-term at the very least. But she's prepared to do that and have Peter hate her, because she loves him very much.
"It's complicated stuff and grown-up drama. I hope that fans of Peter and Carla will, by the end of it, feel that it's been the ultimate love story. It will ultimately have a happy ending, even though it sometimes looks like it's a long way away for those two."
Another major storyline will see Nina fall in love - and there’s hints it’s with Asha Alahan who will be left devastated when boyfriend Corey reveals his villainous colours.
"There'll be a fantastic and unique love story for Nina, which might not entirely end up where you expect now,” Iain said.
“The love story will turn into a massive social issue story that deals with tolerance of people who are part of minority communities and don't look like everybody else.
"It'll become a real talking point for next year – how does the world view people like Nina in reality? When they're on Coronation Street, all of our characters take them under their wing – and the viewers have taken Nina to their hearts too.
"But in the real world, if you don't look like everybody else, sometimes that can be incredibly challenging.
“We're going to explore that a little bit in the show – to heartbreaking effect, I hope.
"That story draws in Roy, Abi and Kevin. It becomes a huge, emotive community story, with some of our favourite actors in the middle of it."
He added: “We've seen Corey intermittently over the past couple of years, but he will now reveal himself to be every bit as unpleasant as we have probably suspected, after his dealings with Asha in the earlier point of the story.”
After the death of her son Oliver, Leanne will struggle to cope with every day life - but that will all change when Simon gets in trouble forcing Leanne to re-enter the world to save him.
Iain said: “What we're trying to do with Simon and Leanne is find a way to play their grief that doesn't feel like grief stories that we've done and other shows might have done.
“We've come up with something that starts quite small, but ends up turning into this colossal, thriller-ish, high-octane piece that will play out in the first six months of 2021.
"It ends up with Simon being driven by grief and getting himself into an inescapable situation.
“That forces Leanne to put her war paint on and go out in defence of her remaining son. She takes on an incredibly dangerous situation in order to protect Simon.
"That ends up drawing in Nick and Sam – and it collides with Peter and Carla's love story too. It is a grief story, but it's far removed from being one woman sitting alone in a room and feeling sad.”
He added: “The thing that's exciting me the most is the Leanne story, which I know I've been a bit vague about.
“I think it's incredibly exciting. It will also draw in Rita at a certain point – and there'll be a blast from the past for Rita that emerges as a result of the story.
"I really think this story will end up in the place where you least expect it when you start watching it in the New Year."
Iain said: “Todd will set out in a very underhand way to undermine Billy and Paul's relationship.
“He will ultimately and temporarily look like he's got everything he wants. Unfortunately, the lengths that Todd has gone to in order to get what he wants, will be the very thing that will be his undoing in the end.
"Todd gets his happy ending but it's already got a massive fracture in it. In a very explosive, dramatic – again quite thriller-ish – way later in the year,
“Todd's machinations will all come to light and he'll end up losing everything again."
He added: "Todd being Todd, he's fairly Teflon. He'll lose everything again and then quite quickly set about reacquiring it, or something of equal value.
“We want to enjoy that character, really. We're conscious that the best villains are ones that you enjoy hating and almost laugh at their sheer audacity.
“Todd has that capacity to be very funny and enjoyable as a villain.
"We're giving him another arena. We're giving him a job in the undertaker's with George Shuttleworth.
“We thought that could be a brilliant double act, as George is quite big-hearted, kind, warm and funny, while Todd is not! If you were casting a sitcom set in that undertakers, what better foil for George than the perpetually scheming Todd?"
“Ed's brother Ronnie turns up and he is a massive injection of chaos, energy and humour,” Iain explained.
“He's just a real jack the lad and will tip their currently-quite-cosy lifestyle on its head.
“He'll be setting many cats among many pigeons up and down the street, much to Ed's exasperation at times.
"Ronnie will arrive off the back of quite a big family drama and he turns up with a secret. He comes in at the worst possible moment, when Michael and Grace are trying to contend with the arrival of their slightly premature baby. Then in comes Ed's brother Ronnie – holding the hand grenade with the pin already out and just wondering when to drop it.
"As you can predict in a show like ours, he drops it at a point where it will do maximum damage. It's not through any malice, it's just because he can't help himself.
"Ronnie reminds me a lot of Danny Baldwin. He can be slightly ruthless but also irrepressibly charming.”
"It's not the biggest story we're doing by any stretch, but there's a really interesting story we're doing about the perils of social media and the hellstorm that can rain down on you if you take on the trolls,” Iain teased.
“That will arrive in the first quarter of 2021, when Cathy will make some unwise choices in her online life that will threaten to see them completely ostracised from their friends and also sees them getting viciously trolled online.
"It will bring in Alex as well and there'll be an interesting angle for him, in terms of the online cruelty sometimes facing disabled people when they venture into social media.
"It's a really modern story that will play to Brian and Cathy's strengths. It will put their love in the spotlight for perhaps the first time in a long while.
“It becomes a story about love and loyalty, and about standing by somebody who's maybe made some terrible transgressions.
"It's about understanding that one transgression online can maybe ruin your life, but it isn't necessarily indicative of that individual being a terrible person, it's just a moment of madness where you say or do something online that you regret forever.”

EMMERDALE fans are in shock after Kim Tate had Noah Tate freed from police custody - and blackmailed his mum Charity with it.
The original soap superbitch - who is played by actress Claire King in the ITV soap - overheard Noah’s predicament and saw an opportunity to get Charity under her control.
After waiting for the Dingles to turn on Charity for not handing herself in to save Noah herself after he took the wrap for her burglary of Home Farm.
As Charity hit breaking point, Kim walked into the pub and dropped the bombshell she had saved Noah.
She said: “I think the least you can do is get me a drink, especially as I’ve just got your son off the hook.
“I’m gifted with charm. I simply confirmed Noah’s story - that he’s my relative and it was an unplanned visit. A misunderstanding.
“Fortunately for Noah, family actually means something to me. Thank you Kim for doing what I couldn’t because I’m too gutless.
“Well at least your son has manners - must be the Tate in him.”
However when left alone, Kim revealed the true reason she had decided to save Noah - so she had something to blackmail Charity with.
As Charity demanded to know why, Kim told her: “Well that is the million dollar question.
“You saw them - they despise you. You hung your own son out to dry.
“And to top it all I came in riding to the rescue. It was just too good to miss.
“Well I must say that thank you was an unexpected treat. That was merely the warm up.
“You see you owe me Charity. And whenever I decide I want that debt repaying, probably when you least expect it, I’ll come knocking at your door.”
Fans were in shock at Kim’s scheming - and feared for Charity.
One lamented: "Charity is in debt to Kim."
A second said: "Kim has the whole village on a puppet string."

Michaela Strachan forced to pull out of Winterwatch 2021 after lockdown restrictions leave her stranded in

MICHAELA Strachan has been forced to pull out of Winterwatch 2021 after lockdown restrictions left her stranded in South Africa.
The 54-year-old presenter lives in South Africa with her family, and with the coronavirus pandemic continuing to wreak havoc around the world, Michaela was unable to fly to the UK to co-host the upcoming series.
Winterwatch 2021 starts later this month but without Michaela at the helm, as the BBC revealed: "Unfortunately due to lockdown restrictions, Michaela Strachan is unable to participate in Winterwatch 2021 this year as a present;er.
"We are all deeply saddened that Michaela is unable to be there in person this time, but she will be in conversation with Chris Packham during the first episode, from her home in South Africa."
Chris, 59, will present the show alongside Iolo Williams, Gillian Burke and Megan McCubbin.
This isn't the first time lockdown and the coronavirus pandemic has stopped Michaela taking part in the show, as she was forced to miss Springwatch last year for the same reason.
Michaela previously shared details of her life in Cape Town with You Magazine in 2018, saying: "I live behind Table Mountain National Park.
"Walking there with my dog Rio has become my solace. It’s also where I met my husband Nick. I was in Cape Town and a friend introduced us.
"After a long walk up the mountain together, a bottle of wine at the top and a cable car down, I knew he was the one."
Meanwhile Chris has spoken about how nature is more important than ever considering what has happened in the last 12 months, ahead of Winterwatch's return.
He said: "Nature has never been more important, as more people have reached out engaged with and embraced it more than ever before.
"This is the because our own species has found its own world stressed and threatened and in such desperate times we have found immediate solace and respite in the simple perfection of nature."
Winterwatch begins on January 19 on BBC One.

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) uzmanları tarafından yayımlanan bir makalede, "Türkiye 2017'de tütün ve tuz tüketimiyle fiziksel hareketsizliği azaltma hedefini tutturabilseydi, 20 binden fazla ölüm engellenebilirdi" denildi.
Kuruluşun Avrupa birimi uzmanlarınca hazırlanan ve Türkiye'de 2017-2025 yılları için uygulamaya konan Bulaşıcı Olmayan Hastalıklar (BOH) eylem planının olası sonuçlarının incelendiği makale bilim dergisi Lancet'ta yayımlandı.
Rapora göre, BOH'ların oluşturduğu yük küresel olarak artıyor.
Dünya genelinde BOH bağlantılı en fazla ölüm WHO'nun Avrupa Bölgesi'nde. Türkiye'deki ölümlerin yüzde 89'u bu hastalıklarla bağlantılı.
Bu hastalıklardan ölenlerin yaklaşık beşte biri 70 yaşın altında.
Makalede, Türkiye'nin nüfusun yaşlanmaya başlamasıyla birlikte bu hastalıkların sosyal ve ekonomik külfetini hafifletmek için hükümetin 2017-2025 yıllarını kapsayan bir eylem planı hazırladığı belirtiliyor.
Eylem planında kalp damar rahatsızlıkları, kronik solumum hastalıkları, kanser ve diyabette tütün, alkol, beslenme ve hareketsizlik dört ana risk faktörü olarak sıralanıyor.
Küresel çapta ölümlerin yüzden 80'i bu hastalıklardan kaynaklanıyor.
DSÖ uzmanlarının analizinde Türkiye'nin tütün ve tuz tüketimini yüzde 30, hareketsizliği de yüzde 10 oranında azaltma hedefinin olası etkilerini hesapladı.
2017'deki verileri inceleyen uzmanlara göre eylem planındaki hedefler tutturulabilseydi, sadece o yıl 20 bin 281 ölüm engellenebilirdi.
DSÖ'nün Avrupa Bölge Direktörü Özel Danışmanı Dr. Joao Breda, "DSÖ/Avrupa'nın bulgulara dayalı bu yaklaşımı sadece Türkiye'nin BOH'la ilgili eylem planının potansiyel etkilerini değerlendirmiyor. Bu yaklaşım, her yıl daha fazla hayat kurtarmak için bize en etkili önlemleri bulma konusunda bize yardımcı olabilir" dedi.
Kuruluşa göre Türkiye, Avrupa Bölgesi'ndeki diğer ülkelerle birlikte, Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri kapsamında 2030'a kadar BOH kaynaklı ölümleri üçte bir oranında azaltmaya çalışıyor.
WHO'nun BOH'larda Türkiye için belirlediği en önemli risk faktörleri, öncelik sırasına göre şöyle:
Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'ne göre Türkiye'de tuz tüketiminin ve hareketsizliğin düşürülmesiyle önlenebilir ölümleri yüzde 50'den daha fazla azaltmak mümkün.
Makalede, BOH'larla ilgili küresel hedefler arasında yer almamasına karşın, günlük sebze ve meyve tüketiminin özendirilmesinin yaşamsal önemde olduğu vurgulanıyor.

US judge dismisses suit filed against Pence seeking to overturn election result

A US judge has rejected a lawsuit from a Republican congressman that sought to allow vice president Mike Pence to reject electoral college votes for Joe Biden when Congress meets on Wednesday to certify his victory over president Donald Trump.
The latest long-shot attempt by Trump’s Republican allies to overturn the November election result was dismissed by one of Trump’s own appointees to the federal bench, Jeremy Kernodle.
He ruled that representative Louie Gohmert of Texas and a slate of Republican electors from Arizona could not show they suffered any personal harm “fairly traceable” to Pence’s allegedly unlawful conduct and, therefore, lacked legal standing to bring the case.
The standing requirement “helps enforce the limited role of federal courts in our constitutional system. The problem for plaintiffs here is that they lack standing,” Kernodle wrote.
A spokesman for Trump referred questions to Pence’s office. A spokesman for Pence declined to comment. A spokeswoman for Gohmert did not immediately comment.
Trump has refused to concede defeat and has repeatedly falsely claimed the election was tainted by widespread fraud. He and his allies have lost dozens of court efforts seeking to reverse the election results.
Biden beat Trump by a 306-232 margin in the electoral college and is set to be sworn in on 20 January.
Under the electoral college system, electoral votes are allotted to states and the District of Columbia based on their congressional representation.
Some Republicans have said they plan to object to the count of presidential electors next week in Congress. The effort could trigger a lengthy debate in the Senate but has virtually no chance of overturning the results.
A justice department lawyer representing Pence on Thursday had urged Kernodle to dismiss the lawsuit, saying they had sued the wrong person because they raised “a host of weighty legal issues about the manner in which the electoral votes for president are to be counted”.
“The Senate and the House, not the vice president, have legal interests that are sufficiently adverse to plaintiffs to ground a case or controversy,” Pence’s filing said.

Port Pirie in South Australia has one of the world’s biggest primary lead smelters and locals say they don'y dare drink the tap water or hang their washing up outside
A city is reported to be so polluted with toxic lead children can’t play outside on windy days.
Residents in Port Pirie in South Australia say they do not drink tap water or hang their washing to dry outside.
One of the world’s biggest primary lead smelters, run by metals firm Nyrstar, has been based in the city since 1889. The smelter covers the city in tiny particles of the toxic metal.
Generations of residents have had their health affected by it, news.com.au reports.
Kids are at risk from the lead they ingest in their homes and communities.
Fears about contamination stretch back to 1925, when a royal commission took place into lead poisoning.
Official figures from last year show lead levels in the city’s two-year-old children were the highest since 2011, when the testing regime was introduced.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) states there is no safe level of blood lead concentration.
Readings as low as five micrograms/decilitre (100ml) can be linked to learning problems, behavioural difficulties and decreased intelligence.
But the city’s two-year-olds had an average lead level higher than that, at 6.6, Australia media reports.
The state government introduced a ban last year on fishing in the local harbour after test show fish were not safe to eat.
Karen Davis said she can’t take her one-year-old son, Macen, out on windy days or let him to go to the beach or certain playgrounds.
Her family doesn’t drink tap water or hang washing out to dry, she added.
Mark Taylor, a professor of environmental science and human health at Macquarie University, said: “Children are our future, and we have a duty to protect our future, we have a duty to protect the children.
“They’re trading the outcomes of these children’s lives for the profits of a private company.”
A spokesman for the country’s department for energy and mining said regulators are “confident” a major investment in the city will significantly improve its “environment and health”.
The statement said an air monitoring programme by Nyrstar would increase the ability to track further progress in reducing lead exposure.
A Nyrstar spokesman said: “Nyrstar remains committed to working with a range of government and community stakeholders to improve health outcomes in Port Pirie.”
Reducing blood lead levels in youngsters is a major priority for the firm, it added.
The company carried out initiatives last year to improve air quality in the city which will continue this year, the spokesman said.

BORIS Johson's Brexit deal has helped pave the way for a European army but "lots remains to be done," according to a close ally of French President Emmanuel Macron.
|
BORIS Johson's Brexit deal has helped pave the way for a European army but "lots remains to be done," according to a close ally of French President Emmanuel Macron.
French MEP Nathalie Loiseau, who is a strong ally of Emmanuel Macron, has told an Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA) that the UK's exit from the European Union has cleared the way for "progress" towards greater EU military integration. She argued that Britain had never "valued" moves to craft closer military ties with Brussels but would remain a "key partner" for the bloc in terms of foreign policy and defence going forward.
Prior to Brexit, the UK was linked to a series of EU military structures including the European Defence Fund, Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and the European Defence Agency and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) which some critics see as the beginning of an EU army.
Regarding the future of the CSDP, Ms Loiseau said: "Brexit in foreign policy, firstly we have to admit in regards to the participation of the UK in CSDP the loss is small. The CSDP was never really something the UK really owned or really valued that much.
"There were few staff or military from the UK in the CSDP missions, they were reluctant towards efforts like European Defence Fund or PESCO.
"I am pretty certain that we have made progress on European defence because the UK was leaving the European Union but there is a lot the remains to be done."
JUST IN: Ireland urges EU to scrap Brexit deal rules - trade expert hints bloc could CAVE already
She added: "The UK is a key partner in terms of defence, in terms of foreign policy and we have to find ways to work together."
It comes after former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib suggested the bloc’s European Defence Fund was a clear indication of the bloc’s determination to transform itself into a military superstate - while questioning why the UK was involved at all given its ongoing membership of NATO.
Buried away on page 1,051 of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) ratified last month is a reference to Horizon Europe, a bloc-wide project due to get underway this year which centred on discovery-led research and facilitating large-scale partnerships tackling global challenges.
The EU’s Multiannual financial framework fixed on December 11 fixed Horizon Europe’s budget at €95.5billion at modern prices, and on page 369 of the TCA, the cost to the UK over the course of the next seven years is revealed to be four percent of the whole - in other words, just €3.8billion.
The EDF element amounts to just over £7.1billion (€8billion) - meaning given the UK is paying four percent of the cost, will cost taxpayers £285million (€320million) between 2021 and 2026, equal to £47.5million a year.
Mr Habib said: “Horizon Europe until about a month ago was a fairly benign research entity looking into research for climate change and stuff like that.
“And then in December 2020, two weeks before the cooperation agreement was signed, the EDF was moved into Horizon Europe.
So without us actually stating in the trade and cooperation agreement that we are now going to be paying funds into the EDF, we are now committed to pay those funds in.”

Mr Habib said the bloc’s European Defence Union initiative involved a drive towards an independent military industry as well as armaments and a standing army, and he also highlighted the EU’s new 10,000-strong border force, the cost of which he suggested was £18.7billion (€21billion).
He added: “When you go back to 2015 and remember the debate that Nick Clegg had with Nigel Farage, when Nigel said they were aiming to have a standing army and Nick said something like ‘don’t talk garbage, that’s just scaremongering’, they were busy planning it at the same time.
“Now there is no way that the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom did not know what was going on in the Commission.
“So our political establishment is well-ensconced in all of this.”

The main focus however is on Daphne Bridgerton, the eldest daughter of the family.
She enters the marriage market, though is sabotaged by her brother who rules out many potential suitors.
She soon meets the alluring Duke of Hastings, and though they deny they want anything to do with each other, it's clear they have chemistry.

EMMANUEL MACRON made a shock admission as he suggested France would vote to leave the EU if the country held a referendum on its membership.

EMMANUEL MACRON made a shock admission as he suggested France would vote to leave the EU if the country held a referendum on its membership.
Euroscepticism in France has seen a rise in recent years as a result of the emergence of Marine Le Pen, the right wing nationalist leader of National Rally. She has been a staunch critic of the EU, previously campaigning for France to hold a referendum on its membership. Ms Le Pen never achieved this, to the relief of French President Macron, who admitted that his country would have voted to leave. Mr Macron was discussing the UK's decision to withdraw from the bloc when he highlighted the growing anti-Brussels sentiment in his country. He said there is "always a risk" with votes such as Britain's 2016 referendum, as it is asking the public "just 'yes' or 'no' in a very complicated context".
Asked by the BBC's Andrew Marr whether a French referendum would have produced the same result, Mr Macron replied: "Yes, probably. Probably in a similar context. But our context was very different so I don't want to take any bets."
He added that he will fight "very hard" to keep France in the EU.
He continued: "It's a mistake when you just ask 'yes' or 'no', when you don't ask people how to improve the situation and to explain how to improve it."
President Macron was speaking in January 2018 when he made the claim, and also offered his analysis for why the UK voted for Brexit.
He argued that the Leave vote was a cry for help against globalisation.
He said: "My understanding is that middle-classes and working-classes - and especially the oldest in your country - decided that the recent decades were not in their favour.
"And that the adjustments made by both [the] EU and globalisation - for me it was a mix of both of them - was not in their favour.
"And second I think one of the reasons was precisely an organisation of our EU probably which gets too far in terms of freedom without cohesion.
"Towards free market without any rules and any convergence."
Mr Macron is a big advocate for European integration, and has regularly criticised Brexit.

Five days before the UK went to the polls in 2016, he said that leaving the EU would make Britain "a little country" on its own.
He said: “If I was British, I would vote resolutely Remain because it’s in the UK’s interest.
"Leaving the EU would mean the ‘Guernseyfication’ of the UK, which would then be a little country on the world scale.

Mr Macron's main opponent in France, Ms Le Pen, is no longer calling for a referendum on EU membership after her election defeat in 2017.
However, polls indicate that the French President may still have a battle on his hands to prevent Frexit.
A Euronews poll, released in August, showed that only Italy has more euroscepticism than France out of the 'big four' member states.
Italexit was backed by 45 percent respondents, meanwhile data from France showed 38 percent backed Frexit, followed closely by Spain with 37 percent.

Eddie Jones learns from cycling boss

England head coach Eddie Jones admits to being embarrassed by the brilliance of Sir Dave Brailsford when talking to the cycling supremo in advance of rugby union's Six Nations.
Ex-Wallabies metor Jones recently attended coaches' meetings alongside Brailsford and former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and while each provided valuable insights into performance at the highest level, it was the former who really stood out.
Brailsford is general manager of cycling outfit Ineos Grenadiers, formerly known as Team Sky, and has presided over an unparalleled era of British success both on the road and in the velodrome.
"I've been lucky enough to have a couple of conferences with Dave Brailsford and Arsene Wenger, particularly Brailsford," Jones said.
"I feel embarrassed being at the same table as him. His thought pattern and the way he thinks about preparation and how to take a team forward were absolutely outstanding.
"I have been lucky enough to learn from those two guys. Arsene - he has got a wealth of experience in how you manage teams and how the longer you stay in the job, what you have got to do to keep your team growing. I picked up a couple of ideas from him."
England open their Six Nations title defence against Scotland at Twickenham on February 6, by which point they will already have been in their bio-secure environment for 10 days.
'Bubble fatigue' has caused difficulties in cricket and with Owen Farrell's champions facing long chunks of the next eight weeks in camp under stricter coronavirus protocols than in the autumn, Jones will carefully observe his players' wellbeing while acknowledging the good fortune of still being able to take part in the competition.
"It's an important point and we will continually have to monitor that," said Jones, who is currently self-isolating after his forwards coach Matt Proudfoot tested positive for Covid-19.
"You can see in most elite sports at the moment that fatigue is a factor. A lot of players have come off no pre-season.
"They've had back-to-back seasons and it's quite oppressive conditions, but we have got to have a smile on our faces because we are lucky to be able to play our sport, to play at elite level. We are just so grateful to play."

Who was Charles Sobhraj’s girlfriend Marie-Andree Leclerc?

JENNA Coleman will portray Marie-Andree Leclerc in a new BBC crime drama called The Serpent.
Marie-Andree Leclerc was the girlfriend of Charles Sobhraj, a murderer in the 1970s.
Marie-Andree Leclerc was born in Quebec, Canada in 1945.
She trained and worked as a medical secretary.
At the age of 30 she agreed to be Charles Sobhraj's accomplice for his crimes, which involved scamming and committing theft against tourists to steal their passports and money.
Hippies were the usual targets due to Charles' unfounded dislike of them.
Despite being in a relationship with Charles, she denied knowing about his murders.
Marie-Andrée Leclerc met Charles Sobhraj in Kashmir, India in 1975.
He was her tour guide around the country and after wooing her, he made her promise to return to see him again.
Over a period of three months he sent her love letters, then she flew to Bangkok to meet him.
Their relationship continued until they were caught for their crimes.
Marie-Andree was Charles' accomplice, though she denies knowledge of the murders.
She did give one of the victims, Dominique Veylau, a potion which left him ill and on another occasion used the passport of a murdered woman.
Another victim reportedly said: “She had to know about it. Anyone with eyes and ears could see what was going on in this apartment.”
Marie-Andree died aged 38.
She died in Canada, her home country on April 20, 1984.
Despite being convicted of murder, she appealed and was released on the condition that she couldn't leave India.
Three years later she was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer.
The Indian Supreme Court ruled she could return to Canada to die.
Jenna Coleman will take on the role of Marie-Andree Leclerc in the BBC One drama.
Jenna rose to fame after acting in Doctor Who and has since starred in Victoria.
Speaking to RadioTimes, Jenna said she read Marie-Andree's diaries to prepare for the role.
"The way she lived was completely delusional.
"It was all about squashing all of it away and not letting the truth in. She had an obsessive nature and was incredibly emotional.
"I think she was depressive and certainly unstable at times. She lived in this conflicted state, not acknowledging the murders that were going on.
"In her subconscious it was all about putting the truth away.”

JOE BIDEN will be sworn in as the 46th US President on January 20, but what time will the inauguration begin?
Joe Biden won the US election in November 2020 and was confirmed as the winner by Congress earlier this month. The Democrat became the President-elect after winning the 306 electoral college votes compared to Republican incumbent Donald Trump’s 232. But what time is Mr Biden’s inauguration and when will it start?
America is preparing for Donald Trump’s final day in office during which he is expected to sign several pardons, as is typical practice for outgoing presidents.
President Trump is reportedly considering as many as 100 pardons in total.
Many outlets have questioned whether he will issue a pardon for himself or his direct family members, but US publications claim he is unlikely to do so.
Mr Trump is expected to share a video later today during which he will discuss his achievements during his time in office.

President-Elect Biden is due to deliver remarks at a farewell even in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.
He and his wife, Jill, will then depart for Washington DC where he will join his Vice-President Kamala Harris at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to honour those who died amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Tomorrow (January 20), Mr Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.
The traditional outdoor ceremony is due to go ahead, although due to threats of violence similar to the fatal attack on the US Capitol building on January 6 and the coronavirus pandemic, the celebrations have been scaled back.
The event will see cities and towns around the country light up their buildings and ring church bells at 5.30pm local time (10.30pm GMT).
A US presidential inauguration ceremony is an all-day event which is expected to begin at 11am local time (4pm GMT).
Mr Biden is expected to deliver his remarks at 11.30am local time (4.30pm GMT).
The Democrat is due to be sworn in officially at noon local time (5pm GMT) on the steps of the US Capitol in Washington DC.
During the swearing-in, Mr Biden will be required to take an inaugural oath before assuming his duties and delivering an official public address.

This event will follow President Trump’s departure event.
He is expected to mark his departure at Joint Base Andrews.
Mr Trump has reportedly demanded a full military parade and red carpet event, but it is not yet clear what the ceremony will look like.
This departure event is due to begin at 8am local time (1pm GMT).
Mr Biden’s inauguration will be very different from prior inaugurations given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Public health measures such as mandatory face masks, temperature checks and social distancing will be observed.
When president Barack Obama was inaugurated in 2009, two million people attended the event.
However, this year, the celebrations will be “extremely limited” in size due to the Covid crisis.

Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez will take the stage at the inauguration ceremony, alongside others in what his transition team said would showcase a diverse America.
Other performers will include Justin Timberlake, Jon Bon Jovi, Ant Clemons and Demi Lovato.
Several artists will also be offering remote performances including John Legend, Foo Fighters and Bruce Springsteen.
Actresses Eva Longoria and Kerry Washington will introduce segments of the event.
The event will also feature remarks from a black firefighter from Georgia, a former Youth Poet Laureate, a Catholic priest, and a pastor from Mr Biden's hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

Why was Charles Sobhraj called the Bikini Killer?

CHARLES Sobhraj is a serial killer who murdered hippies during the 1970s.
His crimes led to him being dubbed the Bikini Killer.
Charles Sobhraj is a French serial killer who earned the nickname the Bikini Killer.
He was called this because many of his victims were found dead in their bikinis.
The attire of the murdered tourists led to the killings being sometimes referred to as the Bikini Murders.
He was also branded The Serpent, a nickname used as the title for BBC One's new drama, due to his ability to 'slither' away from the police.
Charles is believed to have psychopathy.
The exact number of murders committed by Charles is unknown, but it's thought to be at most 24.
Charles killed hippies and tourists in Nepal, India and Thailand, and often then took their money and passports.
He was noted as having a strong dislike of hippie culture.
He coerced people into helping him with his crimes, most notably Marie-Andree Leclerc who denied knowledge of his murders despite many doubting the possibility of this.
Charles once said on his gift for coercing women: “If you use it to make people do wrong it’s an abuse. However, if you use that power to make people do right, it’s OK. Who’s to say what’s right and wrong?”
After being released from prison in India in 1997 (though he escaped more than once during his sentence), he was allowed to return to France.
It's believed that he made escapes in order to get more prison time.
He was wanted in Thailand for five murders which would have likely led to him receiving the death penalty, but by remaining in prison he passed the 20 year time-frame for which this could have taken place.
Notoriously once back in France, he began charging obscene amounts for interviews and pictures which allegedly allowed him to amass wealth.
He's been the subject of multiple films and books, as well as BBC's new drama series.
In 2003 he was arrested again after reportedly using a false passport and for murdering a Canadian man and an American woman 28 years previous.
Police said they had a "suitcase full" of evidence to prove the charges.
In 2004 he was given life imprisonment.
Today he is 76 years old and is serving his sentence in Nepal.
The Serpent is a new eight-part BBC One drama.
It begins TONIGHT (January 1) at 9pm and will chronicle the crimes of Charles Sobhraj.
Episodes can be watched on BBC iPlayer too.

Actress Rebel Wilson has opened up about when she was kidnapped at gunpoint in Africa and held overnight by the attackers with 'big' weapons. She says she was 'very good' in the crisis
Rebel Wilson has spoken out about being kidnapped at gunpoint while in rural Africa.
The actress said she was with other women on a cattle truck when men with 'big guns' told them to get off and took them to a house.
The 40-year-old insisted on linking arms with everyone in case any of the girls weer snatched in the middle of the night.
The Australian native said: “There was one time in Africa where I got kidnapped. It was in rural Mozambique.
“We were on this cattle truck and these men came on another truck with a lot of guns. [They pulled up beside us] with the big guns and they were like, 'Yeah, you've got to get off your truck'.
“They took us to a house in the middle of nowhere. I felt like I was very good in the crisis. I was like a team leader.
“They sat us down, and I said, 'Everybody link arms,' because I was petrified in the night that they might want to take one of the girls or something.”
The star opened up about the terrifying ordeal for the first time in discussion with hardman Ant Middleton, which will air on Sky One tonight.
Thankfully, no one was injured and they were released the following morning.
But the actress is convinced illegal substances had been put in their vehicle to be smuggled across the border.
She explained: “Luckily we weren't harmed and then the next day they came and said, ‘Your truck is ready now. You can go go go.'
"We didn't ask any questions.
“We just got back on that truck and got out of there and crossed the South African border a few hours later.
“I think maybe those guys, maybe, used us to smuggle illegal things in the bottom of the truck."
A stunned Ant responded: “I was expecting you to say, ‘Yeah I came face to face with a snake or a spider,’ and then you tell me you got kidnapped at gunpoint."

CORONATION Street fans are in shock after Gary Windass was arrested for attacking Adam Barlow while trying to cover it up for his sister Faye.
The killer loan shark - who is played by actor Mikey North in the ITV soap - discovered that Faye was the one who attacked Adam thinking he was rapist Ray Crosby.
She confessed on New Year’s Eve and tonight told Gary how she still had the bloody weapon she used hidden under her bed.
Gary leapt into action to cover it up for Faye and protect her by going collecting the weapon himself with plans to destroy it.
However Faye’s ex Craig Tinker spotted him acting suspiciously and searched him - finding the weapon.
Detectives then hauled Gary in and questioned him.
The police detective returned after the forensic tests came back on the weapon proving it was Adam’s blood.
He told Gary: “The forensics have come back. We’ve positively identified the weapon as the object used to assault the victim.
“Mr Barlow suspected it was you and you were caught in possession of the weapon that had his blood on it. Is there anything else you’d like to say?”
As Gary sat in surly silence, the officer decided to make it official.
“Gary Windass,” he said.
“I’m arresting you for the assault on Adam Barlow. You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention something when questioned that you later rely on in court.
“Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”
Fans think Gary will go to prison to save Faye - and pay for his own crimes with the sentence.
One fan wrote: "Been a longtime coming for Gary, but I do feel a bit sorry for him now. I wonder if Faye will tell the cops..."
A second agreed: "For once I didn't want Gary to get nabbed. Hand yourself in Faye I would rather you in jail."
"Oh dear, Gary," concluded a third. "He's f***ed. What's he going to do now?"

EASTENDERS viewers are in floods of tears after Mick Carter told wife Linda about Katy Lewis’ abuse - after confronting the rapist.
The former pub landlord - who is played by actor Danny Dyer in the BBC soap - found the strength to confront his abuser in emotional scenes tonight.
However after Mick forced Katy into admitting that she abused him - she tried to manipulate him by threatening to accuse him of rape.
Trying to manipulate him, she said: "I'm sorry I had to threaten you but when we're talking about abuse, it sound so wrong.
"You loved me Michael, we were in love and we created a beautiful child that meant so much to me. I knew the rest of the world wouldn't understand, would judge us and blame you - that's why I had to keep a secret for so long.
"You wanted me, we made a baby that means that you enjoyed it - how else could that have happened? You sound pathetic. You lost your virginity to an older woman - most men, real men would be proud of that."
Mike realised what she was doing and began arguing back - and told her exactly what he thought.
He told her: "You talk and you twist things, just like you used to do. That's what you're doing now and I'm not going to let you anymore.
"I don't care if they bang me up, you don't control me anymore."
With that he left to tell Linda the truth - while Katy screamed in terror at being exposed for being a paedophile.
Mick arrived home to tell Linda - and it left her devastated.
"Frankie, she's my daughter," he told her as Linda struggled to understand - instead convinced Mick cheated on her.
As Linda ranted about Mick cheating on her, Mick said: "She's not a love child. She's 30, she's nearly 31.
"I was 12. I didn't want it, I didn't understand it."
Linda realised what he was saying and rushed to hug him to reassure him that everything would be OK.
As she explained it to Mick, that what Katy did was rape, he was confused but insisted he didn’t want to go to the police.
Fans were left in floods of tears by the emotional scenes.
One wrote: "eastenders has me in f***ing pieces tonight. mick’s abuse storyline is harrowing."
A second said: "The realisation on Linda's face broke my heart poor mick shirley will kill kate #EastEnders."
Another added: "Damn, this Mick storyline is beyond powerful.
"#EastEnders The acting from @MrDDyer and @kelliebright76 is just incredible, but heartbreaking too."

Improving Monaco have beaten Marseille 3-1 in the French league for a fifth win in six games, while the struggling visitors slipped to a fourth straight defeat despite taking an early lead.
After defender Guillermo Maripan equalised for Monaco, midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni headed in the second goal and forward Stevan Jovetic thumped in a superb angled free kick in the last minute to complete what ended up as a comfortable win on Saturday.
Fourth-place Monaco moved one point behind third-place Lyon, who play on Sunday, while Marseille remains in sixth spot.
Arkadiusz Milik started on the bench for Marseille after joining on loan from Italian club Napoli.
The Poland striker, who signed an 18-month deal late Thursday, scored 48 goals in four seasons for Napoli but had not featured for the Italian club during this campaign.
Marseille took a deserved lead in the 11th minute when winger Nemanja Radonjic chased a long ball out of defence, sprinted clear down the left flank and finished confidently from close range.
For much of the first half Marseille looked the better side, but familiar frailties resurfaced.
Maripan headed in the equaliser from a corner just after the break, with Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda rooted to the spot as the ball sailed into the top corner.
Terrible defending cost Marseille again, this time as Tchouameni was completely unmarked when heading Aleksandr Golovin's corner from the left past the stranded Mandanda in the 74th.
Youcef Atal paid the price for scoring for Nice in a 1-0 win at Lens, limping off injured with a hamstring injury moments after his goal.
The speedy winger netted in the 49th minute when he cut inside the penalty area from the right and finished smartly with his left foot.
The win moved Nice one place up to 13th, while Lens was in seventh spot ahead of Sunday's games.
Second-place Lille needs to win at fifth-place Rennes on Sunday to move level on points with leader Paris Saint-Germain, who have a much better goal difference.

Miley Cyrus turned heads this weekend after being snapped out and about in Calabasas, California in a see-through top leaving her totally exposed
Miley Cyrus has never been shy but even by her standards her latest outfit is pushing the boundaries.
The Prisoner songstress was spotted out and about in Calabasas, California in a totally see through top.
Looking effortlessly stylish, Miley, 28, was snapped popping out to the shops in a white tank top and tight grey leggings combo.
Despite her top being paper thin, the chart-topper decided to ditch her bra.
Pulling the tank tight over herself, the garment left her totally exposed and nowhere to hide.
Seemingly unfazed by putting herself on show, Miley headed to the shops - keeping safe by wearing a mask.
Like the UK, America is currently battling to keep Covid cases under control as the global pandemic continues to take lives around the world.
Tragically, the United States has one of the highest death rates on the globe.
Miley competed her look by wearing a pair of oversized mirrored shades on her head and her hair tied back into a tight bun.
Miley, who is openly bisexual, recently admitted she finds woman 'way hotter' than men.
The Angel Like You songstress added she prefer to dates women.
She told SiriusXM: "Girls are way hotter. We know this.
"Everyone I think can agree that from ancient times d***s make wonderful sculptures. Other than that, I'm not as interested.
"I like d***s as art pieces. And sculptural, I love the shape, I think it looks really good on a table.
"It's good if it can just get in and go away, because I don't want it eyeing me up. That's how I truly feel. I felt really good about saying that.
"Everyone knows that t**s are prettier than b***s."
Miley, who is the Goddaughter of country legend Dolly Parton, added: "That's what ended up making female relationships make more sense to me."
In 2019 Miley split with her longterm partner and husband of one year Liam Hemsworth.
She penned the majority of her latest record about the break-up.
Speaking candidly, Miley explained how she often would message her producer pal Mark Ronson to hit the studio with her so she wouldn't messages Liam and instead use music as a release.

Doctor Who reveals John Bishop will replace Bradley Walsh as the new companion

JOHN Bishop is joining Doctor Who as Bradley Walsh's replacement.
The 54-year-old actor and funnyman, who recently tested positive for coronavirus, said boarding the Tardis was a "dream come true".
He will appear in the new series of the BBC One show, in which Jodie Whittaker reprises her role as the Time Lord, later this year.
Bishop has already begun filming his role, but TV bosses have kept his signing under wraps until now.
He plays a character called Dan, who "becomes embroiled in the Doctor's adventures".
"Travelling through space and time alongside the Doctor and Yaz, he'll face evil alien races beyond his wildest nightmares," the BBC said.
Bishop will star alongside Whittaker and Mandip Gill, who returns as Yaz.
He said: "If I could tell my younger self that one day I would be asked to step on board the Tardis, I would never have believed it.
"It's an absolute dream come true to be joining Doctor Who and I couldn't wish for better company than Jodie and Mandip."
Bishop is joining Doctor Who in its 13th series, which began filming in November last year.
Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole, who have now left the show, made their last appearances in the New Year's Day special episode.
Programme boss Chris Chibnall said: "It's time for the next chapter of Doctor Who, and it starts with a man called Dan. Oh, we've had to keep this one secret for a long, long time.
"Our conversations started with John even before the pandemic hit.
"The character of Dan was built for him, and it's a joy to have him aboard the Tardis."
Matt Strevens, BBC Studios executive producer, said: "It's been a total joy having John join the cast and we've been having a lot fun on set already.
"We can't wait for you to meet Dan when the show returns later this year."
The news comes after Bishop said he has been "overwhelmed" by support since revealing he tested positive for Covid-19 on Christmas Day.
Both he and his wife Melanie contracted the virus over the festive period and had been "flattened" by the illness.
He told fans the couple are "getting a little stronger" every day and promised he will be back to work in January.
The Doctor Who New Year special, Revolution Of The Daleks, aired on New Year's Day.
BBC drama controller Piers Wenger said: "We are beyond thrilled to have John Bishop joining Doctor Who.
"Alongside Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill, John is a wonderful addition to the show and we have no doubt that series 13 is going to be another thrilling set of adventures for the Doctor."

EMMERDALE fans have been left flustered by Claire King's epic vampy makeover as Kim Tate in heels and a slashed dress.
The 57-year-old actress recently returned to the ITV soap after some months away while she shielding against the coronavirus.
Claire's character has always been one of the most glamorous in the village, but fans were still taken aback by her vampy makeover in Thursday's episode.
Kim was keen to seduce Will (Dean Andrews) and donned a figure-hugging black gown with a plunging neckline and a slashed front.
She completed her glamorous New Year's Eve look with a pair of high heels and smokey eyed makeup.
Emmerdale viewers were obsessed with her look, with one writing on Twitter: "Kim Tate looks amazing for NY!”
Another tweeted: "Kim looks stunning."
A third agreed, writing: "Kim has a nice figure in that dress."
Will was dressed just as smart for their New Year date in a suit, as Kim quizzed him about his previous life of crime.
She said while holding a glass of wine seductively: "I'm intrigued by your previous life. You were a bad man...how bad?"
The saucy exchange continued as Will replied: "How bad do you want me to be?"
Smiling lack the cat who had got the cream, Kim said: "So you like to grab the bull by the horns... or are you the bull?"
However, her masterclass in seduction was rudely interrupted by her phone ringing.
Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV.

Masked Singer’s Mo Gilligan reveals Rita Ora threatened him backstage as he does savage impression of her

THE Masked Singer’s Mo Gilligan did a savage impression of fellow judge Rita Ora – after she jokingly threatened him backstage.
Stand-up comedian Mo, 32, recently replaced comic Ken Jeong on the panel for series two of the surreal ITV celebrity singing competition.
Mo and Rita, along with Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross, are tasked with guessing which star is behind each vocal performance – made trickier by their outlandish, identity-disguising costume.
But he’s wasted no time in teasing co-star Rita Ora, who appears keen to hold on to her rep as ‘the best guesser’ on the show.
He joked that 30-year-old Rita found him backstage to ensure she’d remain the programme’s number one panellist.
On an upcoming episode, Mo told host Joel McDommett: “She came into my dressing room, she said 'oi listen bruv, I’m the one who's always winning this Masked Singer, yeah? So don't you be guessin…’”
“I was like ‘cool Rita, fantastic, I didn't know you spoke like that!’”
For laughs, he also added on a deep, male voice when impersonating Rita – which sent the audience into hysterics.
It seems Mo’s addition to The Masked Singer has stepped up the competition between judges dramatically.
Especially since no-one guessed the first unmasked singer – Murder On The Dancefloor hitmaker Sophie Ellis-Bextor – who was unveiled at the end of the show’s Boxing Day premiere.
Rita confessed: “They’re really hard [to guess]. I did come in confident and now I’m kind of like ‘not that easy’.
“But I’m hoping and I’m praying I can again leave with the title of the champion. Let’s see.”
And Davina McCall, 53, agreed that the competition had stepped up massively.
She added: “It’s too much to handle and not only am I feeling quite competitive but Mo, the newcomer, he’s already right up there trying to win.”

NCIS season 18 is finally back from its mid-season break. But who guest stars in the new episode Head of the Snake?
NCIS will be airing a double-bill on CBS tonight (January 19) as it returns to screens for the first time since December. One of the episodes is called Head of the Snake and it promises some big revelations for the major characters. Ahead of it airing, Express.co.uk has got everything you need to know about the guest cast, including where you might recognise them from.
So far in season 18, viewers have been following Leroy Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon) and Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano) on their covert mission.
The pair have been investigating the opioid dealers who supplied Fornell’s daughter with an almost lethal dose of drugs back in season 16.
Most of the action has taken place in the past as they investigated potential leads but episode seven will finally bring them to the present day.
The synopsis teases: “Gibbs and Fornell's crusade to find the head of the drug ring responsible for Fornell's daughter Emily's (Juliette Angelo) overdose comes to a climax.
“Also, Gibbs and Vance (Rocky Carroll) finally let the team in on a case that has dangerous implications.”

Margo Harshman will be reprising her role as Timothy McGee’s (Sean Murray) wife Delilah Fielding in the show.
Aside from NCIS, viewers will also recognise her as Alex Jensen in The Big Bang Theory and as Sylvia in Fired Up!
Another returning cast member is Juliette Angelo who plays Fornell’s daughter Emily.
She last appeared on the show back in 2019 in the episode Daughters as she suffered from a terrifying overdose.
The actor has also recently appeared in The Trail of the Chicago 7, Shameless and Mad Men.
Nick Boraine plays Merriweather or Alexi Myshkin in the new episode.
The South African actor has previously starred in Homeland as Alana Hensleigh and in Black Sails as Peter Ashe.
Anna Grace Barlow stars opposite Boraine as Karen or Sasha Myshkin who viewers last saw in the episode Blood and Treasure.
Barlow is best known for The Young and the Restless, Commanders and Supernatural.

Steve Harvey’s daughter Lori and actor boyfriend Michael B. Jordan touch down in Salt Lake City for New Y

LORI Harvey joins her new boyfriend Michael B. Jordan for a New Year's Eve celebration in Salt Lake City, Utah, after they were first spotted together last month.
The 23-year-old actress was first seen traveling with the actor on November 24th, 2020.
Today, the duo were captured landing in Salt Lake City, matching in neutral coats and hoodies with coordinated black masks.
Michael, 33, was also noticed flying into Lori's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia over the Thanksgiving holiday, as photos obtained by TMZ showed the couple disembarking from a jet together.
The couple was reportedly visiting from LA to see Lori's family who still reside in the southern city.
Lori and her Black Panther star beau have not come out publicly about their relationship thus far.
In the past, the Michael has kept his dating habits under wraps, and remains unforthcoming about his new romance with Lori.
The influencer, daughter of comedian Steve Harvey and Marjorie Elaine Harvey, has had a history of high-profile celebrity ex-boyfriends.
In 2017, Lori found herself engaged to a Dutch soccer player, Memphis Depay, but they later called off the engagement and split in 2018.
Not long after her called-off marriage, the star dated Justin Combs, son of the rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
They were together for only a few short months, as she was also seen out and about with rapper Trey Songz that same year.
Shockingly, Lori then switched Justin for his dad Sean "Diddy" Combs in early 2019.
Although they didn't publicly announce their relationship, the rapper’s other son Christian alluded to their relationship at a press event, saying: “They [are] good. They’re just being… Private time."
By October of 2019 Lori and Sean's love affair had fizzled out, and in January of 2020, she announced a new fling with the rapper Future.
The singer accompanied Lori during her birthday celebration in Jamaica, where they were seen sharing a kiss.
Following the hit of the pandemic, by the summer of 2020 they had called it quits.
Prior to her break up with Future, Lori was spotted at the celebrity hotspot, Nobu Malibu with Michael, though it is not clear if there was a romantic connection between them until the fall.
In November of this year, Lori's new man was named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, though he is notoriously known for being quiet about his love/sex life.
In January of 2020, the Friday Night Lights star was seen getting cozy with actress Kiki Layne at a Sundance Film Festival after-party, but no official connection ever developed.
Just days before Lori and Michael were seen together, the Fantastic Four front runner announced that he will be opening an OnlyFans account to help fund his friend's barber school.
The star joked that he will be "eating fruit and all kinds of crazy stuff" when he signs up for the X-rated subscription site.
During an appearance with Jimmy Kimmel, the actor shared: "I got an OnlyFans coming soon.
“Eating fruit and all kinds of crazy stuff; it's going to get wild, it's going to get wild.”
Jimmy then bantered back: "You probably could make like $250,000 a year if your mustache had an OnlyFans account.”
More seriously, Michael added: "I'm actually going to start one, but all the proceeds I want to go towards a barber school.
“Because during the quarantine, you know, there's been so many businesses and schools that shut down.”

Ollie Watkins has ended his goal drought as Aston Villa returned to winning ways and climbed into the top 10 of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory against lacklustre Newcastle.
The club-record signing scored for the first time in 10 matches to set Villa on their way to all three points with an early strike, before Bertrand Traore doubled the lead before halftime.
Villa boss Dean Smith watched from the stands as he served a one-match touchline ban after he was charged by the FA for using abusive and/or insulting language towards referee Jon Moss during the controversial defeat at Manchester City.
He will have been pleased with what he saw, after picking up only one point from games against Chelsea, Manchester United and City in the Premier League, as Villa moved up to eighth in the table.
For Newcastle, the downward spiral continued and Steve Bruce's team dropped to 16th spot after a sixth defeat in a eight-match winless run in the Premier League.
There were a couple of warning signs for Newcastle, before Villa scored after 13 minutes.
Karl Darlow had to smother Matt Targett's effort from the edge of the box before a dangerous cross by the left-back just eluded Watkins as he tried to get a touch at the near post.
It was another Targett cross that brought the opening goal shortly afterwards.
Fabian Schar could only slice the ball into the air inside his own penalty area. The ball looped goalwards and Watkins reacted quickest ahead of Darlow to bravely nod the ball home.
Villa deservedly doubled their lead just before halftime as Traore showed good control and quick feet to find Jack Grealish down the left side of the penalty area before continuing his run into the box, where he was picked out by a brilliant cutback.
Traore used the pace on Grealish's pass to guide his shot into the top corner.
Villa comfortably saw out the match, keeping three consecutive home clean sheets in the same Premier League season for the first time since December 2012.

Jesy Nelson sees out 2020 ‘with a bang’ after quitting Little Mix as she watches The Inbetweeners tucked up in

JESY Nelson has proved she's just like the rest of us this New Year's Eve and enjoying a cosy night in.
The former Little Mix star, 29, was tucked up in bed watching The Inbetweeners, joking that she was seeing 2020 out "with a bang".
She posted a video of her from underneath her animal print duvet cover with the big screen TV playing the popular comedy in the background.
The hit We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool played loudly as someone - presumably her boyfriend Sean Sagar - hoisted her Pomeranian, Reggie, above the bed.
Sean cutely moved the small brown dog in time to the music to make it look like Reggie was dancing along.
Jesy captioned the Instagram story: "Let's see 2020 out with a bang."
It's been a very big 2020 for Jesy who not only split from her Love Island boyfriend Chris Hughes during the first lockdown, she also made the decision to leave Little Mix.
The singer recently stepped out of the spotlight and has been enjoying her time at home.
Jesy sensationally quit girl band Little Mix earlier this month saying it had "taken a toll on her mental health".
She confirmed she wouldn't be returning after "extended time off" saying she found the "constant pressure" of "living up to expectations very hard".
Jesy told her followers that she was leaving Little Mix with a "heavy heart" as she reflected on the success the band have enjoyed since winning The X Factor in 2011, insisting it had been the "most incredible time" of her life.
She continued: "I can't thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart for making me feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
"You have always been there to support and encourage me and I will never ever forget it.
"The truth is, recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard."
The remaining Little Mix stars, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirwall will continue as the group as a trio.

JUSTIN Bieber is studying to become a church minister, it is reported.
The pop idol is said to be planning the move after the pastor where he worships was kicked out in a sex scandal.
Bieber’s former mentor Carl Lentz, 42, left Hillsong Church in LA amid accusations of affairs.
The hitmaker, 26, has credited the celeb-packed religious community with helping save him from his “dark” period of drugs and meltdowns.
A source told OK! magazine: “Justin has never been happier or healthier and says he owes it to the church.
“He doesn’t want to give up his music career, but feels there’s a bigger calling for him.”
Bieber has been active in the church for years and has performed in the choir, watched by wife Hailey, 24.
The congregation included former girlfriend Selena Gomez, 28, but she is said to have quit after the Lentz scandal.
Four women claim to have had affairs with the married dad of three.
Bieber’s relationship with Lentz cooled well before the pastor was kicked out in November.

Die drei großen Handynetzanbieter haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um ländliche Gebiete besser mit LTE-Mobilfunk zu versorgen. Ganz freiwillig ist die Initiative nicht.
|
Die drei großen Handynetzanbieter haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um ländliche Gebiete besser mit LTE-Mobilfunk zu versorgen. Ganz freiwillig ist die Initiative nicht.
Es klingt wie eine große Verbrüderung: Die Telekom und Vodafone wollen Teile ihrer Mobilfunknetze künftig miteinander und mit Telefónica/O2 teilen. Konkret geht es um Gegenden, die bisher nur von einem der drei Anbieter versorgt werden, in denen Kunden der beiden anderen Firmen also keinen Empfang haben.
Diese Funklöcher, die wegen der Versorgung durch nur einen Provider auch als »graue Flecken« bezeichnet werden, sollen nun geschlossen werden, zumindest an insgesamt 2400 Standorten in Deutschland.
Um das zu erreichen, wolle man »aktive Netztechnik teilen«, heißt es in Pressemitteilungen der drei beteiligten Unternehmen. Und zwar »außerhalb von Wohngebieten und insbesondere abseits größerer Verkehrswege«, wie es in den Bekanntmachungen deckungsgleich heißt. »Gerade in diesen wenig frequentierten Gebieten ist es für die Betreiber oftmals unwirtschaftlich, separate Infrastrukturen zu errichten und mit eigener Netztechnik zu betreiben«, erklärt Telefónica/O2.
Intervention von Kartellamt und Netzagentur
Tatsächlich hatten Deutsche Telekom und Vodafone bereits vor knapp einem Jahr eine ganz ähnliche Kooperation beschlossen, sie wollten Teile ihrer Infrastruktur miteinander teilen. Dagegen stellten sich allerdings die Bundesnetzagentur und das Bundeskartellamt. »Eine Kooperation von Deutscher Telekom und Vodafone ohne Beteiligung von Telefónica wäre aus unserer Sicht wettbewerblich problematisch«, erklärt dazu Kartellamtschef Andreas Mundt. Daher habe man auf eine Erweiterung der Kooperation um Telefónica/O2 gedrängt.
Da Telekom und Vodafone bei der Netzqualität führend seien, hätte es ein exklusives Kooperationsabkommen den beiden Unternehmen laut Bundeskartellamt ermöglicht, ihren »wettbewerblichen Vorsprung ohne eigenen, neuen Standortausbau auszubauen«. Die dadurch zu erwartenden Vorteile wären für Telefónica/O2 »praktisch uneinholbar« gewesen. Daraus wiederum hätten sich Nachteile für die Verbraucher ergeben.
Die nun vereinbarte Kooperationen der drei Betreiber könne »wesentlich zu einer besseren Mobilfunkversorgung in Deutschland beitragen," sagt Jochen Homann, Präsident der Bundesnetzagentur. Gerade für die Bevölkerung in ländlichen Regionen werde sich daraus eine Verbesserung der Mobilfunkversorgung ergeben.
Eine Antenne, drei Netze
Möglich wird das Modell der Dreifachnutzung bestehender Antennenstandorte durch ein Verfahren, das als Multi-Operator-Core-Network (MOCN) bezeichnet wird. Den Geräten der Anwender gegenüber weist sich eine Funkstation dabei mit den Kennungen aller drei Netzbetreiber aus. So können sich die Geräte unabhängig vom Betreiber in das jeweilige Mobilfunknetz einloggen. Dem Nutzer gegenüber wirkt es in jedem Fall so, als würde er sich im Netzwerk seines Vertragspartners bewegen, egal, welches Unternehmen die jeweilige Mobilfunkstation tatsächlich betreibt.
Diese Kooperation sei ohne Installation neuer Antennen oder neuer Technik realisierbar, heißt es seitens der Telekom. Dem Unternehmen zufolge bekommen die Kunden im Ergebnis »4G-Zugänge auf dem 800-MHz-Frequenzband«, also ein LTE-Netz mit vergleichsweise großer Reichweite.

She recently lost three stone in weight.
And Gemma Collins has since earned around £55,000 by selling off her size 16 clothes after slimming down, The Sun reports.
The TOWIE star, 39, has opened an online Depop store to trade on her clothes, selling each item for less than around £30.
She has 31,000 followers and has sold 3,652 for which she does not offer refunds or exchanges, according to her bio. If she sold those items at an average of £15, she would have earned around £55,000.
The page has been reviewed 1,733 times, receiving a four out of five-star rating, with Gemma also selling clothes which still have the tags on.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Gemma for comment.
Last year, the reality star revealed she had shed three stone after using her time in lockdown to focus on her health and preparing nutritionally balanced meals.
Earlier this month, Gemma shared her hopes of becoming a mother this year, six months after suffering a third miscarriage with her ex James Argent's baby.
The businesswoman spoke out about her '2021 goals' in a new episode of her eponymous BBC Sounds podcast, declaring: 'I feel that it's going to happen for me.'
Gemma also revealed she aims to commit to a relationship as she discussed manifesting 'marriage, eternal happiness, health, love and her career with the universe'.
The media personality said on the audio show, titled New Year Goals: 'How will I feel about 2021 this time next year? Well, I hope I'm married, I hope I have a baby this year - I feel that it's going to happen for me.
'My main focus this year will be to really be comfortable being Gemma Collins, and definitely committing and giving quality time to a relationship and hopefully I'm going to have a baby. I don't know why I feel like I am.
'When I set out my goals, I think about how I'm going to manifest these babies up because I do believe in manifesting with the universe. Firstly I'm manifesting eternal happiness, health, love and [my] career.'
The reality star also admitted she thought she needed 'counselling' as she initially feared turning 40 later this month, but now feels the upcoming chapter in her life is 'acceptable' after witnessing Kim Kardashian reach the milestone last October.
Gemma first spoke out about her heartbreaking loss in November, after Meghan Markle announced she had lost her second child with Prince Harry.
The TV star told The Sun: I've not talked about this before, but it was my third, each one a devastating loss on my longed-for journey to motherhood.
'I've been trying to have a baby for nearly a decade now, only to have my hopes dashed time and again by first one miscarriage, then another.'

Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan has angered fans over his tribute to American TV personality Larry King after the star died at the age of 87 following a battle with the coronavirus
Piers Morgan has angered fans with his tribute to American TV personality Larry King.
The Good Morning Britain presenter took to his official Twitter account hours after Larry's media company, Ora Media, announced that he had died at the age of 87 following his battle against coronavirus after he contracted the deadly disease.
Taking to his account, Piers shared a photo of Larry with his 7.7million followers as he paid tribute to the star most famed for hosting his namesake The Larry King Show and Larry King Live.
Piers shared two tweets, in the first it contained a professional picture of Larry with his birth date next to the year he died, 1933 - 2021.
Alongside it, Piers tweeted: "RIP Larry King, 87. A television legend."
He then took to his account to share another tweet where he appeared to subtly diss Larry for marrying eight times and brought up their feud.
Alongside a photo of them smiling next to each other back when they worked together at CNN, Piers caused uproar.
The outspoken star didn't hold back even in his tribute.
Piers tweeted: "Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN and he said my show was 'like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley' (He married 8 times so a mother-in-law expert) But he was a brilliant broadcaster & masterful TV interviewer."
His followers hit back instantly as they dubbed it 'tone deaf' and 'making his death all about him'.
YouTuber Karissa Pukas hit back: "How do you seem to make everything about you always?
"Jesus Christ your ego takes up all the air in every room."
Another fan created a meme which read: "'Who are you, again?': Piers Morgan scorched for tone-deaf tribute to Larry King."
Mark Dice replied: "You really did suck. Glad you left America," before announcing that Piers has since blocked him on Twitter.
However, some fans rushed to defend Piers.
One tweeted: "Actually pretty refreshing tweet, paid tribute and was truthful about your personal relationship with him. More genuine then just glossing over your history with him."
Another commented: "This is honest and you still found a way to keep it respectful. I appreciate it. Hate phony stuff."

HILARIA Baldwin allegedly “aggressively” confronted a man who sued her after he sliced his leg open during her “overpacked” yoga class, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The incident took place years before Alec Baldwin’s wife would find herself in hot water due to an ongoing scandal of fans accusing the fitness instructor of “faking” her Spanish heritage.
In 2013, Spencer Wolff - then 32-years-old - filed a lawsuit against Hilaria, 36, as well as her studio, Yoga Vida, following a gruesome injury that resulted in over 40 stitches during a class she instructed.
Although the attorney and entrepreneur was unable to speak publicly on the matter due to a NDA as part of the suit settlement, his friend - who was present throughout the legal battle - exclusively spoke to The Sun about the 2013 incident.
Zev Starr-Tambor said he introduced Spencer to Hilaria’s class at Yoga Vida after taking it himself for around five years.
“One night, Spencer calls me from the hospital. He had fallen through a window at the studio and badly cut his leg,” Zev told The Sun.
According to an eyewitness at the time, blood had gushed "everywhere."
The New York based photographer - who snapped a portrait of his own of Hilaria and Alec - continued: “He was at Hilaria’s class and was very badly injured and didn’t have health insurance at the time so he asked if the studio would cover the medical bills and they declined and said 'you’re on your own.'”
Zev explained that the popular instructor’s classes were typically always crowded from wall to wall.
“It was overpacked. If you did downward dog, your feet would be in someone’s face.
“This particular studio has a glass of wall windows and it’s a packed class so [Spencer] was in the corner doing a handstand.
“He was too close to the window and fell. His left leg got kicked through the window by accident and he got 40 stitches on his leg.
“To this day, he still has trouble running and surfing.”
Zev went on to say that following the incident, both Hilaria and Alec met with Spencer at the hospital and initially were both helpful, although “horrified.”
However, once Spencer requested the studio cover hospital expenses, things began to get ugly.
“When he asked for the medical bills to be covered, that’s when things went bad. They did not offer Spencer anything after the incident,” he alleged.
The pair eventually reached an undisclosed settlement after Spencer obtained attorneys but Zev claimed the amount “barely” covered the medical expenses.
In the aftermath of the nasty legal battle, Spencer and Zev continued to see Hilaria and husband Alec as they all four live in the small town of Amagansett near the Hamptons.
Zev alleged while he was walking with Spencer a couple years ago, Hilaria approached them on the street and “called Spencer out.”
He said: “She just came up to us and completely got in Spencer’s face and yelled ‘I know who you are and you traumatized me!’
“It was completely aggressive. He froze and let the wrath sort of pass and said ‘I didn’t want to traumatize you, I just got hurt. Look at my scar.’ But she continued berating him."
Zev also alleged that Alec and Hilaria’s social media base were livid when the lawsuit hit and fans went "completely nuts on Spencer," including sending online "death threats."
“He’s still traumatized. There’s one place in town everyone goes to for lunch where we’ve seen them before.
“So now when we go there, Spencer will ask me to go check and see if those guys are there. He’s literally traumatized.”
Hilaria has been facing mass backlash the past week as people accused the mom-of-five of “faking” her heritage after it was revealed she was born in Boston - not Spain as previously claimed.
She has even been filmed speaking with an accent - something Zev said was common when she taught yoga.
He added: “I took her classes for years and she always did her yoga classes in what I assumed was a Spanish or European accent.
“She always spoke that way and there was no question about her accent in my mind at the time because why would there be?”
Though both Hilaria and her 62-year-old husband have defended their past statements, the outrage has continued online leading the couple to take a social media break.

GORDON Ramsay aged dramatically at the end of a long 2020 by turning into an old lady.
The chef had his friends and fans in stitches by dressing like 90s film character Mrs Doubtfire for a hilarious New Tear's Eve video.
He wore a baggy knitted cardigan and neatly coiffed grey wig as he shuffled with a walking aid.
However, he was soon twisting and twirling as he addressed his daughter and said "Tilly, it's your grandma."
Getting carried away, game Goirdon lifted up his skirt to reveal his navy pants.
He wrote: "Can’t tell you how happy I am to say goodbye to 2020, here’s my little dance to put a smile on your face after a tough year ! Wishing you all a very happy new year 🥳 Heres to 2021 !! G x."
Line Of Duty's Martin Compston loved it and joked: "Mrs doubfire hasn’t aged well 😂 happy Hogmanay big man hope you and the family have a belter x."
While ex-Rangers footballer Ally McCoist said: "Looking good big fella. Yer legs have improved since back in the day 👍😂😂⚽️."
Gordon had fans in hysterics again just days ago as he wriggled his bum and acted like a reindeer in a viral TikTok dance challenge.
The 54-year-old star joked that his questionable moves were his "Christmas gift" to fans as he joined 19-year-old daughter Tilly for the clip.
The challenge sees TikTok users perform a sexy routine to Anna Kendrick and Snoop Dogg's remix of Here Comes Santa Claus.
The moves include juming up and down, wriggling your bottom, squatting to the ground, before crouching and galloping like one of Santa's reindeer.
The famously grumpy TV chef was in high spirits as he embraced the performance, laughing and smiling alongside his teen.
He captioned the post: "My Christmas gift to you…..my dancing skills 🤦 ♂️.

Fresh off getting a new cursive scrawl tattoo down her spine, Chrissy Teigen took a break from her home quarantine for a trip to the grocery store.
The model and television personality, 35, was spotting going in and coming out of a Bristol Farms, alongside a gal pal, in her adopted hometown of Beverly Hills on Tuesday.
With the COVID-19 pandemic raging across Los Angeles County in recent months, the duo made sure to keep a safe distance from fellow customers and wear protective masks over their mouths and noses.

Teigen also took the opportunity to get out of her sweatpants and show off her casual but stylish side in a rustic-orange sweater over a tan minidress.
The number was lined with sheer lace along the bottom and came down to just past mid-thigh.
In keeping with the color-scheme, the mother of two wore what appeared to be suede, knee-high boots that left only a few inches of her legs visible .
She rounded out her look by having her dyed blonde tresses in a flat braid style pushed back off her face, and a fancy piece of rhinestone face jewelry placed near her eyebrows.
After browsing around the store the pair emerged with a cart full of grocery bags, which they proceeded to load up into their parked car.
Teigen also took to her Instagram page on Tuesday to share some personal thoughts about her family's lockdown to her 33.7 million fans and followers.
'We are very bored in quarantine. We have a very closed, sacred, home pod and we just create,' she said with a contemplative look on her face that quickly transformed into laughter.
The Utah native also deferred to her followers for their thoughts on whether she and four-year-old daughter Luna should begin horse riding lessons, and she was not without some hesitation.
'I'm scared because I feel like horses won't like me,' she confessed in a video she posted on Insta-Story.
'Right? Like I feel horses pick up on energy and people and I think they will sense that I'm nervous and they won't like me.'
Her busy day also included showing off her delicate new tattoo down her spine that read: 'Ooh Laa,' which was inspired by one of her husband's sensual tracks.
Teigen documented the process on her Instagram, posting a nearly three-minute clip of her at-home session with celeb-beloved artist Daniel 'Winter Stone' Stone.

ALEXIS Ren went completely nude while hitting the beach.
The Instagram model was recently seen swimming and doing the splits in the sand during the wild beach romp.
Alexis left little to the imagination as she posed topless and only wore a small red thong on the beach.
The 24-year-old spread her legs as she did a middle split near the edge of the water, while she also flaunted her impressive body as she exposed her breasts while lying down on the sand.
She continued to show off her physique as she casually stood naked while waiting for direction from the photographer and enjoyed time in the warm sun.
While taking a break from modeling, Alexis stayed warmed as she wrapped herself in a patterned light blue and purple patterned towel.
The Instagram model appeared to be accompanied by others during the beach outing, though she was the only member of the group that seemed to bare it all.
The revealing photos likely won't surprise the model's 14.1 million Instagram followers, as she often flaunts her impressive bod in steamy snaps.
Her Instagram feed is full of sexy shots that show her in bikinis and flattering outfits.
Alexis got her start in modeling at the age of 13 when she booked a gig with the clothing store Brandy Melville.
She later became an Internet sensation at just 15 after photos of her posing in a black string bikini went viral on Tumblr.
Alexis continued to professionally model and even launched her own activewear line called Ren Active.
She continued her rise to fame when she competed on season 27 of Dancing with the Stars.
Alongside partner Alan Bersten, Alexis made it to the finals and earned fourth place in November 2018.
After her stint on the ABC dancing competition show, Alexis went on to appear in music videos for Ed Sheeran and Kygo.
Back in April, fans slammed Alexis for charging $44 a month for her online fitness program during the coronavirus pandemic.
She announced the plan's price on Twitter, writing: "Also- it's $44 for the entire month ONLY.
"I've spent a great deal of time building the website and workouts and filming while also setting time aside to do the group calls.
"I made this as affordable as possible while still respecting the life energy that I've put into this."
Many people criticized her for the high price of the program given the timing, with one person writing: "Capitalizing off a pandemic oh no honey. YouTube is free."
Another Twitter user added: "Okay jumping on the home workout bandwagon because of a GLOBAL pandemic where people have lost their jobs and you decide to charge people for this service.
"It’s one thing to charge people for personal training but the only reason you’re doing this is because of the COVID19 crisis."

ASHLEY Banjo had his fans in hysterics today as he carried daughter Rose through the woods like a rag doll.
On one-year-old Rose's orders, The Diversity star grabbed her coat and casually swung her by his side.
It seemed to be more painful for him than his little girl, as he complained about an aching wrist.
While his brother Jordan joked it would spark complaints in the same way Diversity's BLM routine on Britain's Got Talent earlier in the year did.
Ashley wrote: "2021 has started with the annual fresh air, fresh mindset walk 💫 But Rose didn’t want to walk 😒... She wanted to be carried... Like this... 😂😂
"Well At least her 2021 got off to a great start! Where as I’m sure I’m gonna have to take a visit to the physio for acute wrist injuries.
"She’s been hitting those Pom bears a bit too frequently over Christmas 😂😂🐽 Happy New Year people ❤️ #2021 #dadduties."
The majority of his followers saw the funny side, with one laughing: "what little girl hasn’t been carried like this by her dad !!!"
Another wrote: "This is so cute".
Earlier this week Ashley stunned fans when he decided to give them a glimpse of his epic car collection.
The 32-year-old decided to take part in Instagram's 'post a picture of' challenge.
One fan was keen to see the car he drives, but they probably weren't expecting his response.
Replying to the person who wrote: "Post a picture of your whip," Ashley decided to unveil his jaw-dropping collection.
In the photo, three cars can be seen on his driveway, but he captioned it "Here's a few," implying that he actually has more than three cars.
He labelled the three vehicles 'old skool', 'Daily' and 'Family'.
Ashley's daily ride is a stunning grey silver Aston Martin - which looks very similar to a car that 007 spy James Bond drives.

THE Bachelor alums Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan have called it quits.
The former couple said that the relationship "simply didn't work out."
Peter, 29, broke the news of their split in an Instagram post on Thursday.
Alongside a snap that showed the pair holding onto each other and they watched the sunset, Peter wrote: "Love is a funny thing.
"It can make you you feel on top of the world and it can make you feel a pain you wish didn’t exist."
The former The Bachelor leading man then shared the sad news, writing: "I’m here to share that Kelley and I have decided to go our separate ways.
"While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn’t work out in the end."
The pilot continued: "Kelley is someone I will always have a special love for.
"Someone I have learned more from than she will ever understand.
"Someone I am so thankful came into my life and someone who I will always wish all of life’s greatest blessings on."
The former reality star concluded: "These moments in life always hurt, but in my opinion that shows you it was worth the time you spent together. Thank you Kelley."
The former couple met when Peter served as the leading man on the ABC dating show last year.
Before he took over the leading role, Peter competed on Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette in 2019.
Peter met Kelley, 28, before they began his season of the show during a chance encounter.
While she competed to win him over on The Bachelor, Peter seemed to have his eye on other women and sent her home before the finale.
He memorably proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss, though the couple soon split and he tried to pursue a relationship with runner-up Madison Prewett.
Peter and Madison's relationship didn't work out, though he continued to pursue romantic relationships and rekindled his flame with Kelley.
He didn't stay single for long and started to exclusively date Kelley.
The split may come as a surprise to fan, as Peter shared his plans to move to New York City with Kelley last week.
While discussing his plans for the big move on his Instagram Story, he wrote: "So grateful Kell was on board with the move!
"I had actually made it a goal of mine when I turned 20 that I wanted to live in New York City before my 20s were up and I'm just barely crossing it off the list!"

– Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göğüs Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı Öğretim Üyesi Doç. Dr. Pınar Yıldız, “Her yıl 10 milyon yeni hasta ortaya çıkmakta” dedi. Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göğüs Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı Öğretim Üyesi Doç. Dr. Pınar Yıldız, verem eğitimi ve farkındalık haftasında önemli bilgiler paylaştı. Veremin bulaşıcı bir hastalık olduğunu ifade eden Doç Dr. Pınar Yıldız, yüzde 80 oranında akciğerlerde olmak üzere bütün organlarda görülebileceğine işaret etti. Tedavi edilmeyen veya yetersiz tedavi edilen hastalarda ölüme yol açabileceğine dikkat çeken Doç. Dr. Yıldız, bugünkü modern tedavi ile tüberküloz hastalarında yüzde 100 yakın iyileşme sağlanabildiğini dile getirdi. “Her yıl 10 milyon yeni hasta ortaya çıkmakta” Dünyada her yıl 1,2 milyon insanı verem hastalığından hayatını kaybettiğini belirten Yıldız, “Her yıl 10 milyon yeni hasta ortaya çıkmakta ve bunların ancak yüzde 71’i kayda geçmektedir. Her yıl dünyada yarım milyon dirençli tüberküloz hastası ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu hastaların kayda geçmeyenleri, düzenli tedavi edilmeyenleri ve takipsiz olanları, ölümle sonuçlanmaktadır. Sonuçta dünyada en çok öldüren bulaşıcı hastalık olan verem, bütün ölümler içinde de onuncu sırada yer almaktadır” diye konuştu. Türkiye’de başarılı bir verem savaşı programı yürütüldüğünü ifade eden Doç. Dr. Yıldız, “Ülkemizdeki tüberkülozlu hasta sayısı her yıl azalmaya devam etmektedir. 2005 yılında 20 bin 535 olan toplam olgu sayısı, 2019 yılında 11 bin 401 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Yıllar içinde nüfusun artmasına rağmen hasta sayısı düşmüş, toplam olgu hızı yüz binde 29,8’den 13,7’e gerilemiştir” dedi. “Tüberkülozlu hasta sayısı yüzde 26 oranında azaldı” Türkiye’de de pandeminin, tüberküloz kontrolünü olumsuz etkilediğine dikkat çeken Yıldız, “2020 yılı verileri ile 2019 yılı verileri karşılaştırıldığında; verem savaşı dispanserlerinde yapılan muayene sayısı, korumaya alınan kişi sayısı, yapılan temaslı muayene sayısı ve bakteriyolojik inceleme sayıları yaklaşık yüzde 40 düzeyinde azalmıştır. Yeni kayıt edilen tüberkülozlu hasta sayısı yüzde 26 oranında azalmıştır” şeklinde konuştu. Bulaştırıcı bir hastalık olan tüberkülozun bulaş yollarını açıklayan Doç. Dr. Yıldız, “Tüberküloz hastanın solunum yoluyla havaya saçtığı mikropların, sağlıklı kişiler tarafından nefes ile alınarak akciğerlerine yerleşebilir. Akciğere gelen mikrop, ya vücutta hapsedilir ve sessiz bir enfeksiyon olarak kalır, ya da hastalık yapar. Sessiz enfeksiyon olanların onda biri ileri bir tarihte hastalanabilir. En sık akciğerleri tutar. Diğer organlarda da hastalık yapabilir. Tanısı, mikrobun gösterilmesi ile konulur” ifadelerini kullandı. 23 haftadan uzun süren ve tedaviye cevap vermeyen öksürük, balgam çıkarma, balgamında kan görülmesi, ateş, gece terlemesi, yorgunluk, halsizlik, kilo kaybı, iştahsızlık, nefes darlığı, göğüs ve sırt ağrısı şikayeti olanların göğüs hastalıkları uzmanına başvurması gerektiğini belirten Yıldız, “Akciğer dışı tüberküloz hastalığı olanlarda hastalığın olduğu organa ait daha farklı belirtiler de olabilir. Örneğin lenf bezi tüberkülozunda hastalığın olduğu lenf bezinin büyümesi, böbrek tüberkülozunda idrarda kan görülmesi, kemik tüberkülozunda ağrı gibi pek çok belirti de görülebilir” dedi. “Tüberküloz bakteri kaynaklı, Covıd19 hastalığı ise, virüs kaynaklı bir hastalıktır” Tüberkülozun yeni tip korona virüs Covid19 hastalığı ile benzer yönlerine dikkat çeken Yıldız, “Her iki hastalıkta bulaştırıcı enfeksiyon hastalıkları grubunda yer alır, akciğeri tutar ve akciğer enfeksiyonuna neden olur. Tüberküloz bakteri kaynaklı, COVID19 hastalığı ise virüs kaynaklı bir hastalıktır. COVID19 henüz tedavisi kesin olmayan ölümcül olabilen (%24) bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Tüberkülozda erken dönemde doğru tedavi ile tam iyileşme oranı yüksektir“ ifadelerini kullandı. Balgamda verem mikrobunun gösterilmesi ile tüberküloz tanısının konulduğunu belirten Doç. Dr. Yıldız, “Hastanın yakınmaları ve akciğer film bulguları tüberkülozdan şüphelenmeyi sağlar. Akciğer filmi veya diğer radyolojik incelemelerde tüberküloz hastalığının yaptığı değişiklikler görüldüğünde diğer hastalıklardan ayırt etmek için mikrobiyolojik inceleme yapılmalıdır. Hastadan alınan balgam veya diğer materyaller laboratuvarda incelenir. Tüberküloz basilinin görülmesi ya da ekilen kültürde basil üremesiyle tanı kesinleşir” diye konuştu. “Hasta ilaçlarını düzenli kullanmazsa mikroplar ilaçlara karşı direnç geliştirir” Tüberküloz tedavisi için günümüzde çok güçlü ilaçlar bulunduğunu ifade eden Doç. Dr. Pınar Yıldız, “Tüberküloz mikrobunu kesin olarak öldürmek ve bir daha çoğalarak hastalık yapmasını engellemek için başlangıçta en az 4 ilaç kullanılması gerekmektedir. Yapılan balgam kontrollerinin sonuçlarına göre 2 veya 3 ay sonra ilaç sayısı azaltılacaktır. Tüberküloz mikrobu diğer mikroplara nazaran çok daha yavaş çoğaldığı için ilaçların uzun süre ve düzenli kullanılması önemlidir. Toplam tedavi süresi en az 6 aydır. Bu süre içinde, Verem Savaşı Dispanserlerinde balgam ve akciğer filmi kontrolleri yapılacaktır. Hasta ilaçlarını düzenli kullanmazsa mikroplar ilaçlara karşı direnç geliştirir. Dirençli tüberküloz dediğimiz bu hastalık tipinde tedavi çok daha zordur; çok sayıda ilacın 1824 ay kullanılması gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle ilaçların sağlık personeli veya sorumlu bir kişi tarafından hastaya içirilmesi en etkili tedavi yöntemidir. Böylece hastaların ilaçlarını aksatmadan düzenli alması sağlanmış olur. Bu yöntem ‘Doğruda Gözetimli Tedavi’ olarak tanımlanır” dedi. “İlaçların yeterli süre ve düzenli bir şekilde kullanılmalı” Ülkemizde tüberküloz tedavisinde kullanılan tüm ilaçların yıllardan beri Sağlık Bakanlığı tarafından karşılandığını ve bu hastalara Verem Savaşı Dispanserleri aracılığıyla ücretsiz dağıtıldığını sözlerine ekleyen Doç. Dr. Yıldız, “Özel beslenme, istirahat, uygun iklim koşulları veya stresten uzaklaşma gibi bazı unsurların tüberküloz tedavisinde çok da önemli olmadığı yapılan bilimsel çalışmalarla gösterilmiştir. Tedavideki en önemli unsur; uygun ilaçların yeterli süre ve düzenli bir şekilde kullanılmasıdır” diye konuştu. Tüberküloz aşısı olanların Corona virüsten daha az etkilendiği ile ilgili savunan veya karşıt görüşte olan çalışmalar mevcut olduğunu dile getiren Yıldız, kesin bir yanıt verebilmek için daha geniş popülasyonlu, kesin kanıta dayalı çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğunu vurguladı. Tüberküloz hastasının aynı evde yaşayanlara verem mikrobunu bulaştırma ihtimalinin yüksek olduğuna dikkat çeken Doç. Dr. Yıldız, “Çünkü aynı havayı en uzun süre paylaşmaktadırlar. Bu nedenle, tüberküloz tanısı kesinleşince, bütün aile bireyleri ve hasta ile aynı havayı paylaşan işyeri ya da başka ortamdaki kişiler verem savaş dispanserinde muayene için çağrılırlar. Buna temaslı muayenesi denilir. Temaslı muayenesi, eğer hastanın yakınlarında da hastalık varsa erkenden tanı koymayı sağlar. Hasta olmayan ve risk taşıyanlara da koruyucu tedavi verilir. Koruyucu tedavi eğer düzenli kullanılırsa, mikrobu almış kişilerin hastalanmasını yüzde 90’a varan oranda önler“ şeklinde açıklamasını tamamladı.

LITTLE Mix's Perrie Edwards has revealed her first mystery solo project is coming as she baffles fans with a new Insta bio.
The 27-year-old singer removed any reference to the girl band from the bio section of her profile, and replaced it with a link to "wearedisora.com."
Clicking on the link takes people to a website with the word 'Disora' scrawled across it and "Coming soon...2021" underneath.
Eagle-eyed Little Mix fans were quick to spot the change, and took to social media to discuss.
One wrote on Twitter: "Perrie has changed her Instagram profile picture and updated her profile! And she also put a link “http://wearedisora.com” in her bio she’s definitely have something coming out in 2021!"
Another added: "not me sprinting over to instagram because my timeline is freaking out over disora. perrie edwards giving me a heart attack right before the year ends…@LittleMix".
Other fans got excited by the fact Perrie had also changed her profile picture to a sultry snap of her with a fringe, which she had posted during lockdown last year.
One wrote on Twitter: "OMG PERRIE'S INSTAGRAM!!! IT LOOKS SO CUTE."
Another tweeted: "So Perrie change her Instagram profile pic."
A third added: "good morning perrie changed for profile picture on instagram and I thought she was a fan account."
The changes to Perrie's account comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that the remaining Little Mix members - Perrie, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall - plan to go solo.
The news - which came just before Jesy Nelson quit the band - revealed the remaining trio have each been involved in secret plans to launch individual careers in 2021 at the end of their existing deal.
They have been quietly meeting with new managers, agents and industry bosses.
However, after Jesy quit the group last month, the women insisted they will continue as a trio for "a long time" despite any other solo projects along the way.

Frank Lampard remains under huge pressure at Chelsea following a poor run of results with Roman Abramovich and club chief Marina Granovskaia reportedly torn over what decision to make
Chelsea chiefs Roman Abramovich and Marina Granovskaia are reportedly clashing over what to do with under-pressure manager Frank Lampard.
Lampard’s position is believed to be under threat with the Blues having won just two of their previous seven Premier League games.
The Stamford Bridge outfit spent £200m in the summer but the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech have struggled since their arrivals.
The likes of Thomas Tuchel, Max Allegri and Rafael Benitez are all currently without clubs.
And ESPN say Abramovich and director Marina Granovskaia are torn over who should replace Lampard if they sack him.
Southampton's Ralph Hasenhuttl and Julian Nagelsmann of RB Leipzig are also believed to be possible candidates.
ESPN add that the disagreement is over whether to make an interim appointment, or to wait until the end of the season.
Former Blues manager Avram Grant and ex-Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko are believed to be possible interim options for Abramovich and Granovskaia.
Though Shevchenko has never managed in the Premier League, while Grant hasn’t since being sacked by West Ham in 2011.
Chelsea players are also believed to be confused by Lampard’s approach, with the boss being compared to ‘Tinkerman’ Claudio Ranieri due to his changes.
Emile Heskey told Premier League Productions: “For me, that is one of the problems.
“As a player you want to play, doesn’t matter how many games, you want to play [in the same team]. That consistency, the relationship you build, it helps you.
“When you keep coming out for one game, then going back in for two, but then you are coming out for three games, you are going back in for one, you can’t build up the consistency and relationship as well.”

While Netflix's upcoming Malcolm & Marie has put both Zendaya and John David Washington in the midst of the awards season races, though there has been some controversy over their 12-year age gap.
The film, written and directed by Zendaya's Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, follows the 36-year-old Washington and 24-year-old Zendaya as the title characters as their relationship is tested after the premiere of director Malcolm's new movie.
Washington opened up about the controversy and the production in a new interview with Variety, where he said that, despite the controversy, he wasn't worried at all.
'I wasn’t concerned about it because she is a woman. People are going to see in this film how much of a woman she is,' Washington began.
While Washington may be the son of Hollywood icon Denzel Washington, he admitted that Zendaya, who has been working since she was a teenager, knows the business much better than he does.
'She has far more experience than I do in the industry. I’ve only been in it for seven years. She’s been in it longer, so I’m learning from her. I’m the rookie,' he said.
Washington admitted he was 'leaning on her a lot,' as she shared stories, 'about what she’s had to go through with Twitter and everything. I appreciated her wisdom and discernment when it comes to this business. I admire that.'
He also said he's excited to see this film because they will, 'see how mature she is in this role, We’re talking about versatility, and Sam and Zendaya brought both.'
The film was shot with a minimal crew and just Washington and Zendaya in front of the camera this summer, though Washington said he felt totally safe.
'I felt comfortable. I felt safe. But I felt the need to do this so much that I was willing to risk it,' he said.
'We were in the facility, on a ranch, which was this beautiful resort, with plenty of space. Everybody had their own cabin; we had to get tested we got there,' he said.
Washington added that the cast and crew were the only ones on the ranch where they shot, adding, 'So as long as nobody left the facility, I felt safe.'
Washington is coming off director Christopher Nolan's Tenet, which hit theaters this fall in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After Malcolm & Marie debuts February 5 on Netflix, he'll return to the streaming service with Born to be Murdered later this year with Alicia Vikander.
Zendaya is currently filming the untitled Spider-Man sequel, and she also stars in the upcoming Dune, which was pushed from this past December to October 1.

LOVE Island's Laura Whitmore has revealed the first picture of her wedding to co-star Iain Stirling.
The couple, who are host and voiceover man on the ITV hit, got hitched in Dublin in November, The Sun revealed last month, and are now expecting a baby.
The 35-year-old presenter shared a picture of them at the lavishly-decorted Dublin City Hall in her native Ireland in an all-white trouser suit, clutching a bouquet of flowers.
Scottish Iain, 32, is shown alongside her in a black suit and tie, with the pair throwing their hands out in delight.
Laura told her followers on Instagram: "A year ago Iain asked me to marry him and we had the most magical, perfect ceremony.
"We loved having it to ourselves. We had been planning the perfect celebration and I will forever be so thankful that’s what we got.
"We have never spoken publicly about our engagement or wedding. Back at the time we never felt the need to say anything as it’s all such a personal experience.
"We also were too busy enjoying it! We’ve never shared this picture before now but a lot of people have contacted us and congratulated us the last month with good intentions so here’s to good news!"
She concluded: "Sending love to you and yours and here’s to 2021! Happy new year everyone! Wishing you all the love x."
Laura and Iain revealed last month that they are expecting their first child, posting a picture of a Guns N Roses babygro on Instagram.
She wrote: "I want to now share good news as it’s our news to share - and I’m gonna be honest it’s starting to look like my lock down beer belly is out of control.
"Iain and I are expecting a baby early 2021. It’s been hard to keep such happy news quiet.
"Especially the times when I’ve had to run out of live radio to get sick in a bin or my penchant for a bowl of mashed potato in the morning.
"I wasn’t hungover like everyone thought. In fact I was completely sober filming the entire series of Celeb Juice, which is quite the accolade!"

STORMZY and Maya Jama dated for four years before splitting in 2019.
It's been revealed they spent Christmas together, a year on from their breakup.
Stormzy and Maya Jama have not confirmed they're back together.
They spent their Christmas day together which has sparked rumours that the pair have reconciled.
However, a source has told The Sun they aren't rushing into anything.
Fans will have to watch this space to see if a relationship blossoms between them again.
After four years of dating, the couple split at the end of 2019 quite abruptly.
They were living together, but Maya moved out very quickly after their split.
It happened just a few days after Stormzy attended Maya’s 25th birthday celebrations in East London.
They initially claimed to have ended things on good terms so they could focus on their careers, but Maya unfollowed Stormzy on social media.
Rumours then started circulating that Stormzy had cheated on Maya.
His song Lessons is thought to be about his split with Maya, as the lyrics claim he'd "done the dirt".
However, the rapper later said: "I didn’t cheat. What I did was a big disrespect, what I did was very inconsiderate.
“It didn’t need to be cheating for it still to be a disrespect. But I thought now is a good time to say I didn’t cheat on my ex.
Stormzy and Maya did spend Christmas together, as The Sun exclusively revealed.
A source said: “Stormzy and Maya remained friends after their split and they decided to spend some time together over Christmas.
“They kept it very low key and remained at her place in the capital.
“Both Stormzy and Maya have made it clear it’s too early to start talking about romance.
“This is very much friendship but their mates think something could happen between them in the future.
“They made a lovely couple and given everything that’s happened this year, it seems they could grow closer again.”

Landessozialgericht Thüringen: Jobcenter muss Computerkosten für Schülerin übernehmen

Ärmere Kinder und Jugendliche im Distanzunterricht haben Anspruch auf einen Computer. Das hat das Landessozialgericht in Thüringen entschieden – und auch festgelegt, wie viel Rechner und Zubehör maximal kosten dürfen.

Ärmere Kinder und Jugendliche im Distanzunterricht haben Anspruch auf einen Computer. Das hat das Landessozialgericht in Thüringen entschieden – und auch festgelegt, wie viel Rechner und Zubehör maximal kosten dürfen.
Das Jobcenter in Thüringen muss die Kosten für einen Computer und Zubehör in Höhe von 500 Euro für eine Schülerin, die Hartz-IV-Empfängerin ist, übernehmen. Das geht aus einer Entscheidung des Landessozialgerichts in Erfurt hervor, die am Dienstag veröffentlicht wurde.
Damit hoben die Richter ablehnende Bescheide des Jobcenters und des Sozialgerichts Nordhausen auf. Der Schülerin steht neben dem Computer auch ein Drucker zu. Das Jobcenter wird per einstweiliger Anordnung zur Beschaffung der Geräte verpflichtet, damit die Achtklässlerin während der Pandemie von zu Hause aus am Unterricht teilnehmen kann. Die Entscheidung ist den Angaben zufolge nicht anfechtbar (Aktenzeichen L 9 AS 862/20 B ER).
Die Mutter des Mädchens hatte die Übernahme der Kosten für die Computerausstattung beantragt. Sie begründete dies damit, dass ihre Tochter nach der Corona-bedingten Schließung der Schule ohne ein internetfähiges Gerät nicht auf die Thüringer Schulcloud zugreifen könne. Sie forderte die Kostenübernahme, weil diese nicht durch den Regelbedarf abgedeckt sei.
Das Landessozialgericht folgte dieser Argumentation. Nach Ansicht des Gerichts gehört zur notwendigen Ausstattung ein internetfähiges Gerät nebst Bildschirm, Tastatur, Maus, Drucker und drei Druckerpatronen. Alternativ könne das Jobcenter auch die Kosten in Höhe von maximal 500 Euro übernehmen.
»Kein Anspruch auf bestmögliche Versorgung«
Die Anschaffung eines Computers sei wegen der Schulschließung seit Dezember erforderlich, um das Recht der Antragstellerin auf Bildung und Chancengleichheit zu erfüllen, erklärte das Gericht. Im Haushalt der Familie gebe es bislang lediglich ein internetfähiges Smartphone.
Die geltend gemachten Kosten stellen laut Landessozialgericht einen nach Sozialgesetzbuch II »anzuerkennenden unabweisbaren laufenden Mehrbedarf dar«. Der Bedarf für die Anschaffung der Geräte sei im Regelbedarf für Hartz-IV-Empfänger nicht berücksichtigt. Der Regelbedarf sei »unter den gegenwärtigen Umständen der Pandemie nicht mehr in realitätsgerechter Weise zutreffend erfasst«.
Keinen Anspruch hat die Schülerin dagegen auf ein von ihr selbst ausgewähltes Gerät, dessen Preis sie mit 720 Euro beziffert hat. Nach der Sozialgesetzgebung bestehe »kein Anspruch auf bestmögliche Versorgung, sondern nur auf Befriedigung einfacher und grundlegender Bedürfnisse«, erklärte das Gericht. Die Antragstellerin müsse sich daher mit einem kostengünstigen und gegebenenfalls gebrauchten Gerät abfinden.

BRITAIN'S Got Talent star Michalakis 'Lagi' Demetriou - best known as the cute kid from Stavros Flatley - is engaged.
The lad, now 23, proposed to stunning girlfriend Annika with a diamond ring on New Year's Eve.
Former child star Lagi, who now owns a barber shop in Cyprus, looked delighted as Annika sat on his lap holding a glass of champagne in a celebration snap.
Her captioned the picture, which saw Annika showing off a chunky diamond ring: "I didn’t get a trim and oh yeahhh guess what."
The couple were quickly congratulated by a string of Britain's Got Talent legends, with Diversity's Ashley Banjo writing: "🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾."
Twist and Pulse, who won the Champions show, added: "Congrats guys 💙❤️."
Lagi shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent alongside his dad Demetrios on BGT in 2009, with their comedy combo of Irish and Cypriot dancing.
The pair both worked at the family's Greek restaurant in North London at the time and developed the act to entertain diners.
They ended up finishing in fourth place on the show, behind winners Diversity, Susan Boyle and Julian Smith.
Demi and Lagi returned for the Champions series in 2019, where they came second.
However, the lad announced he is leaving the father-and-son duo to concentrate on his barber shop in Cyprus, home of the recently opened Stavros Flatley Museum, located inside the toilet.
